From: "Lisa Spodak" <lisa@clark.net> Subject: PC: Update Tuesday 4/28 Date: Sat, 2 May 1998 02:12:04 -0400 Port Charles Update: Tuesday, 4/28 Grace is going over the schedule with Matt, Chris, Joe and Karen. They're saying how everyone is freaking out about the murder, not to mention Tony Jones getting shot. The interns, except Matt, are getting ready for Devlin's memorial (Matt has to work). Jake comes in and tells Joe and Karen that the pharmacy company that was dealing with Devlin has agreed to deal with them now. Karen is able to keep her grief in check (/sarcasm) long enough to get excited. Jake doesn't make any excuses for seeing some justice in Devlin's demise; Chris agrees. Chris also wonders who, besides Julie, could be upset about his murder. Matt points out that Devlin was a great surgeon, but Jake argues that doesn't make up for the rotten things he did. "Devlin got what he asked for," he says as he leaves. Karen says she's never seen anyone so happy that someone is dead. Joe points out that doesn't mean Jake did it. Grace says there's too close a resemblance to Kevin's book to just be a coincidence--whoever killed Devlin must have read the book. Garcia meets with Kevin at the light house. Kevin, once again, finds himself insisting that his book is a work of fiction. Garcia wonders who would go how far to increase publicity for the book. Garcia asks Kevin for an alibi--he admits he doesn't have a firm one, as he was wandering around GH looking for Victor at the time of the murder. Julie and Frank are getting ready for the memorial, which will take place at the chapel in the hospital. Eve is telling Scott she feels like a hypocrite going to the service, since she hated Devlin, but Scott insists they go. Karen is disturbed that the murderer could be one of the interns--she's really shaken up by Jake's attitude. Karen thinks Chris is capable of murder. She and Joe also recall Jake's almost killing Rex after Danielle's death. Karen continues with her list with "And don't forget..." And we cut to Scott and Eve. Scott insists they have to go to the service: Scott because he's Julie's lawyer, Eve because she's Julie's friend--and so she won't look suspicious. She looks him straight in the eye and says "Scott, I am not guilty." Scott insists he didn't say she was. Kevin and Lucy are accosted by reporters outside the chapel. They want to know about similarities between Devlin and the character in Kevin's book. They reporters finally move onto Scott and Eve. They want a comment from Eve, but all she'll say is "My heart goes out to the family." (Which I thought was a bit of an ironic statement, seeing how Devlin was killed.) Julie decides to wait a little longer to start the service, hoping more people will show up. But she realizes nobody else is probably coming, so they start. Julie explains her mom's absence--she's overseas. Chris notices that Eve has found her bracelet. Scott wonders why he made that comment and Lucy overhears him asking Eve if she thinks Chris knows Scott found the bracelet next to Devlin's body. Lucy insists on talking to Scott about Serena, and Scott (after protesting that it can wait) finally asks Eve to excuse them for a few minutes. Eve goes over to chat with Kevin and mentions the lack of mourners. Kevin says there's probably a good number of people in the room who are glad Devlin's dead. Eve admits that she's relieved about it and that it's eliminated a few problems for her. She figures the gossips are having a field day and says there's probably at least one finger already pointing at her. Cut to Lucy... telling Scott she wants more info on what she overheard. Scott tells her to butt out. He tells her Eve lost her bracelet and he found it. Lucy tells him to be straight with her--that she knows he's fallen for Eve, though she doesn't know why, and maybe it's none of her business... and Scott agrees that it's none of her business. Lucy reminds that that helping Eve, if she's the murderer, makes him an accessory after the fact. He says Lucy watches too much TV and it's affecting her brain. Eve comes back. (Gotta say, Lucy is pissing me off this week... I can understand what's driving her a little bit [feeling replaced in Scott and Serena's lives, feeling threatened by Eve, jealousy, etc], but I think she's got an awfully short memory. Eve put herself on the line to help Lucy in the whole Rex fiasco and this is a shoddy way to thank her. 'Course, I don't expect her to be sending Katherine a thank-you card anytime soon, either. I guess Lucy's grateful when it suits her.) Mr. Seeger, a private investigator, comes to Matt with a report on Chris. Seems Chris is a suspect in an insurance scam and has a record of passing bad checks. Matt concludes "Dr. Moneybags is broke." Julie gives a eulogy for Devlin. Basically she knows not all his sides were positive--"the empty seats here are mute testimony to that." But she goes on to say she wants to remember what was best about him. She pauses as Garcia comes into the chapel and takes a seat. Julie praises Devlin's surgical expertise and says she's made up her mind to bury his faults with him--and to remember him as the man who held her during thunder storms and saved people's lives. Matt asks Mike to look into Chris a bit more. Wants to know where a recent deposit of $20,000 came from. After everyone has offered their condolences to Julie, Garcia brings up the rear... and places Julie under arrest for the murder of Bennett Devlin. He puts her in cuffs and reads her her rights. Lark looks smug. The End :)
