PC Update, 11 February 1998

Serena is having lunch with Rex and Lucy.  She wants her daddy and is
none too happy being at Chez Rex.  Rex tries to bribe her with a new
collection of beanie babies.  She just wants her dad.  Rex waxes poetic
about his mahogany pepper shaker and the use of pepper on food.  Lucy
reminds Serena that she is OK and that Lucy promised to look after her,
and that she doesn't have to be scared.  Serena says she's not scared,
she just doesn't like Rex.  Rex and Lucy have some wine, some that she's
not allergic to.  Rex wants Lucy to be OK for this evening (nudge,
nudge, wink, wink).  Serena continues to steam (for good reason!) and to
say that she hates Rex.

Lucy's cellular rings.  It's Scott.  She pretends that it's Martin, her
accountant.  Scott wants Lucy to get Serena and bring her to the
airport.  Lucy gets Rex out of the room, asking him to go to the kitchen
to check on something.  When he is gone, Serena spikes Rex's food with a
good dose of the pepper he so loves <g>, and Lucy speaks with Scott.
Scott threatens to come get Serena himself, so Lucy says she'll bring
her.  Lucy and Serena are to stop by the fire hall/house to get a bag of
gold (Serena knows where it is).  Rex returns, takes a bite, and a
coughing fit ensues (which Serena quite enjoys).

Matt is at home.  A knock at the door makes him take a gun out.  It's
Grace at the door, however, not someone out to "get" him.

Conklin comes into Scotty's hospital room, where a bunch of pillows in
the bed are supposed to look like his body.  Joe tries to stop him, but
the FBI guy discovers that Scott's not there.  Conklin threatens Joe
with charges of aiding and abetting.  Conklin and Joe go head to head
about Scott.  Conklin wants to know where he is.  Karen enters.  She
tells him her dad went to get some tests done; the guard must have been
on break when he left.

Grace threatens to make a scene if Matt doesn't open the door and let
her in, so he does.  He has a temperature, but says its only 99F.  He
looks pretty sick.  Grace goes to take his temperature and finds his
shoulder wound when she touches it and Matt responds in pain.

Lucy tries to make peace between Serena and Rex.  Serena and Lucy are to
go to see Lucy's "accountant".  She tells Rex she will try to talk to
Serena about her behaviour when they are alone together.  When they
leave, Rex says to himself "that brat doesn't have a heart".

Karen tells Conklin that she sent her dad down for tests ÷ that the
pillows were rearranged by Scott, as that is how he likes to sleep.
Conklin is not buying any of this.  He needs Scott to know that he has
information that links his partner to Rex, and that Scott needs to get
his butt back here.  If he does, he'll forget this little field tip.
Conklin leaves and tells the guard that Scott is highly contagious and
to stay out of the room.

Grace says the wound is infected.  Matt wants ointment and bandages.
Grace wants him to go to the hospital.  He won't ÷ he wants her to clean
it for him.  He gives her a list of stuff to get from the pharmacy.  She
goes.

Karen and Joe discuss Conklin.  Karen is mad at him for not being
smarter about his partner sooner, but Joe gives him credit for helping
them now.  Karen feels selfish because she is upset that her dad is
leaving, even though she knows what is most important is Serena's
protection.  She doesn't want her dad out of her life.  She is worried
that not only the cops but Rex will be after them ÷ he wants the money,
bad.  Joe tries to comfor her.  She's going to concentrate on Scott and
Serena being OK.  Joe tells her she's not alne ÷ she still has people
who love her and a family.  Karen needs his support and she's glad she
has it.  She feels like a scared little gird who needs her daddy to make
everything OK.

Serena and Lucy are at the firehall/house.  Serena finds the bag of
gold.  Kevin shows up.  He calls Lucy "Mrs. Stanton", which doesn't make
her very happy.  Serena is very happy to see him.  Kevin and Lucy agree
that Rex is "icky yucky".  Serena goes to get some books.  Lucy tells
Kevin that Rex hasn't touched her, because she drank some Marsela wine.
Lucy tells Kevin that she's taking Serena to Scott so they can get
away.  Kevin says not to ÷ he and Jake have a plan.  Rex is to hear a
voice from the grave.

Grace shows up at the hospital.  She finds Ellen and tells Ellen that
Matt is sick and that he needs a doctor.  Ellen says to get him to the
hospital. Grace wants Ellen to help her, since Matt won't come to GH.

Lucy shows up at the airport, without Serena.  He yells at her and she
tells him that Kevin has a plan.  She tells him that leaving town is no
good for anyone, including Scott.  All of them (Lucy, Scott, Serena,
Karen, Gail, Lee, etc.) need each other.  Lucy tells Scott that the plan
is to use phone message tapes of Danielle's voice to convince Rex that
she's still alive.  He will then confess for them.  Lucy says she's done
everything Scott has asked of her so far ÷ including marrying Rex ÷ and
that Scott *will* do this for her.

End.
