From: mtczajka@aol.com (MTCzajka) Subject: PC: update Monday 4/13 Date: 13 Apr 1998 23:07:28 GMT Kevin is yelling at a guy on the phone - he's upset about the leak that he's the author of General Homicide. His publisher calls about doing publicity, Kevin tells him to go ahead and set it up. The phone rings again and Kevin unplugs it. A reporter comes over to interview Kevin. He wants to know about a man with a brother who was a serial killer writing a book about a serial killer. He also wants to know about the thinly disguised characters in the book - Kevin won't discuss it. He asks Lucy about the comparison between her and Nancy Cole. Lucy appreciates Nancy's good points and ignores the bad. The reporter also asks about the affair between the book version of Kevin and the book version of Eve. Lucy tells him that Kevin has a good imagination. Eve in a Î64.5 - Î68 era red convertible Mustang (I knew there was a reason I liked her - it's like mine!!) shoves the coke that was planted in her under the seat while pretending to look for her registration. The cop asks her to step out of the car. Later, Eve is with Scott and she tells him the cop asks for her phone number. She didn't give it to him. She tells him about the planted drugs. She flushed them at a gas station on the way home. Which was a good move, since cops were at Frank's with a search warrant. Scott opines that Devlin would not give up easily, but he may make a mistake since he's getting desperate. Devlin sneaks the syringe he used for Frank into the disposal thing. His intern aid comes in and questions him about missing serum. Devlin testily tells him he dropped a vial of it while injecting an animal. The aid leaves and Devlin orders more blood tests on Frank. Karen tries to get Joe to go home and rest. He gets very bitchy, she is under- standing and he backs off. Mary comes up with Audrey and they reminisce about Frank as a child. Audrey leaves, and Devlin, the very soul of sensitivity, comes up and asks Mary for permission to see the autopsy report on Frank, if he should happen to die. For some odd reason, this request upsets Joe. Lark apologizes to Franks for being the cause of his coma. She realizes that he only tried to help her and asks for a second chance. Joe comes in rather loudly, giving Lark a chance to hide. Joe tearfully reminds Frank of their childhood - a time when Frank pretended that he wouldn't wake up. Little Joe got scared, then little Frank opened his eyes and laughed at him. Joe wants him to do that again and he does! Well, not the laughing part but his eyes open. Later, Julie, Karen, and Mary have joined them. Frank's first question is about the state of Lark. He's glad she's okay - and they tell him she ran away. Grace tells Matt that Joe has awakened. He wants to celebrate Joe and also Grace's birthday which is tomorrow. She says she stopped celebrating getting older at 21 (which is a little sad). She agrees to go out with him. Devlin hears about Frank and wants to be kept apprised of his condition. Eve and Scott come up and Scott shoves a bag of white powder in Devlin's pocket. Devlin says he should have coke there - Scott reveals it's sugar. He tells him that Eve found the real thing and flushed it. Scott threatens him and Devlin walks. The reporter comes up and starts asking them about the book. The reporter tells them Kevin wrote the book - they're surprised. They head to Kevin's and discuss their alter egos in the book (Scott angrily yells that he's not some hot-headed, loud-mouthed, apple eating attorney as he bites an apple - his "character" gets baked in an oven with an apple in his mouth, Lucy points out that she's not some self-centered glamour don't - then hesitates as she thinks about it, Eve thinks her character, the witty, sexy, wisecracking intern with men at her feet). They start arguing and Kevin reminds them that it's just a book. The phone rings - the orders for the book have tripled. Kevin isn't happy - he thinks it's just because the author is the brother of a serial killer. Devlin goes in to see Frank and refuses to take credit for Frank's recovery. This doesn't arouse the suspicions that it should. He tells Frank and Julie that he wants to be the only one to oversee his recovery. He leaves the room and Mary thanks Devlin and he once again refuses credit. Joe apologizes for being nasty to him, and Devlin is very humble - again not arousing suspicions. Later, Devlin is confronted by the reporter and he refuses to comment. He walks away and is taunted by Chris about his lousy drug-planting skills. Chris tells him that the serum has made the rats *very* aggressive and if he markets it to humans, he'll have WWIII on his hands. Marguerite Marguerite.Czajka@ChicagoIL.NCR.COM
