This is my first update ever and I'm de-lurking to do it, so please be
kind.

I.  The Devlins
At Julie's party, Nicole is drunkenly berating Bennett for trying to
tell her to calm down -- he has no right after sleeping with Eve.  She
turns around and sees Julie standing there.  Ben says he will take
Nicole to the car, but she runs out.  Ben goes after her and Julie turns
blubbering to Frank that Nicole found out.  Ben comes back and says that
Nicole took off in a cab.  When he tries to apologize for Nicole's
behavior.  Julie tells him it is his fault.

Later, Julie and Frank enter the basement apartment lamenting Nicole's
disappearance.  Guess what??  She's right there with them!  Wisely,
Frank beats a hasty retreat.  Nicole says she's sorry about the way she
acted at the party and wants to know if Julie knew her father was
sleeping around.  Julie says she made Eve move out as soon as she found
out about it.  Nicole realizes
that Julie knew and didn't tell her.  Julie says that daddy said it was
over and that it would only hurt Nicole to find out.  Nicole wants to
know how Julie could do that to her.  Julie uses the infamous "I didn't
know how to tell you" defense.  (At some point, it becomes the next
day)  Nicole
lists all the excuses Ben has given her over the years as Julie
painfully looks on.  Ben calls and Julie says Nicole is there. Ben says
he's on his way which prompts Nicole to take off.  Ben arrives and says
he feels badly that Nicole found out, especially since it is over.

Nicole turns up at the Recovery Room for a Bloody Mary and apologizes to
Mike for her behavior the night before.

II.  The rest of the Interns
Karen and Joe are still sucking face outside Karen's apartment and agree
that it is nice.  They go into Karen's apartment and continue swapping
spit.  Joe pulls away and wants to slow things down.  Karen tries to
seduce him.  He pulls away again and Karen assumes he's having second
thoughts about her.  He says that she is wrong, that he does now want to
be her rebound relationship - he wants the relationship to last.  Karen
again tries to seduce him.  He pulls away again and she says he is
walking out on her just when she knows what she wants.  Figuring the
third time is the charm, she again tries to seduce him.  He wisely
leaves.

The next morning, Matt, Eve, Chris, and Grace rehash the party and Frank
brings in an injured student for Karen to look at.  Karen and Joe flirt
while Karen looks at the bruise.  Monica comes in and praises Matt
saying that she'd like to work with him again.  Matt feels like
celebrating and invites Grace to dinner.  Chris overhears Monica's
praise and takes off.    He shows up at the
Recovery Room and runs into Nicole who apologizes about her behavior at
the party.  Chris says they have both had bad days lately and sits down
to commiserate.

III.  Lucy, Kevin, and Scott
The show opens with Scott and Justus lamenting that Rex must have been
planning to frame Scott for months.

Lucy and Kevin arrive home from the Cayman Islands thinking Scott is
practically in the clear after all their clever work pretending Scott
has died.  [Did anyone else notice the lamp in the bedroom that matches
the couch Lucy told Brenda to get rid of on GH last week?]  Since the
plan went so well, they decide to celebrate their success by making
love.  We return to them basking in their collective glow.  Kevin wants
to try another love potion.  Lucy says he's not taking the
fertility/aroma-therapy treatments seriously.  He protests that he is
taking it seriously; in fact, he wants to make love again.  The agree
that he is taking advantage of the baby-making situation
and begin to make love again.  The phone rings.  Big surprise, it's
Scott with bad news.  He does not have an alibi for the day the account
was opened in the Cayman Islands.

After a strategy session at Scott's, Lucy and Kevin come back home and
Lucy is stressing out about staying calm while trying to get pregnant.
She suddenly has an idea (the audience shudders) -- in order for her to
get close to Rex, she and Kevin have to break up.  Kevin gives her a
bewildered look, "break up?"  "Yes!" Lucy exclaims with a smile.
