From: maclatch <maclatch@unbsj.ca> Subject: PC: Update, Wednesday, 06 May 1998 Date: Thu, 07 May 1998 13:53:08 -0300 Port Charles Update Wednesday, 06 May 1998 The Circus is Coming to Town At the Lighthouse, Victor tells Kevin he had an affair with his mother's best friend. Melanie found out at the picnic. The woman was killed at the picnic, Victor says. Kevin flashes to the knife and the fair sounds. Scott and Dara are at the Firehouse; Scott is trying to persuade Dara that Julie didn't kill her father. Dara has Julie's fingerprints on the murder weapon, her hair on the victim, and motive. Lucy walks in. Scott tells Dara that a person is innocent until proven guilty. Dara wants to know who Scott thinks did it if Julie didn't. Scott says that's not his job ÷ but his client's not guilty. Kevin wants to know how Marsha (the "other woman") died. They were planning to break it off, Victor says, but then Melanie found out and confronted them at the picnic. Next thing Victor remembers, the knife is in Melanie's hand, Marsha backs up and falls over a cliff into rapids below, and drowns. Kevin and Ryan saw the whole thing. The adults told them it was a dream. Kevin is very upset ÷ how could they do that? The memories been there for years, it's ruined his life. Victor is upset as well ÷ Kevin's anger shows him that he was justified in thinking the past is better left alone. Kevin may have been helped by this process, but he (Victor) surely hasn't been. Nicole and Julie are in the Scanlon kitchen. Nicole wants to know if Julie's sure about having Scott as her lawyer. Julie is. Nicole, winning the mother of the year award, says she has to go back to Chicago to deal with Devlin's estate. Julie is upset at first, but quickly gives her mother permission to go. Nicole promises to come back if Julie needs her. Frank comes in and promises to look after Julie. Nicole leaves. Julie is upset ÷ her mom is leaving, her dad is murdered and everyone thinks she did it, and meanwhile the monster who did it is walking away scot free. Dara is convinced that Julie is the killer. Her case is water tight. She leaves Scott's house. Lucy wants Scott to face facts. Eve is the killer, and he's covering up for her. Sacrificing everything for her. Scott shuts Lucy up by telling her that he and Eve broke up. Lucy's not so happy, thought, when Scott admits to still liking her. Lucy draws a comparison between Eve and Katie Bell ÷ they both like(d) him because of his money. What money, Scott says, it's Serena's. Lucy says he's got to tell the police about Eve's bracelet. Scott says he hasn't felt this way about anyone since Dominique. He tells Lucy about the dream where Dominique told him to rejoin the living. Lucy reminds Scott that by protecting Eve he may be destroying another. He tells Lucy he can't protect Eve ÷ she won't even see him. Dr. May is talking to a woman who doesn't want "that murderer" (Julie) anywhere near her family. Dr. May tells Julie it's been happening a lot ÷ she'll look for something less visible for Julie. Eve tells Julie to try not giving a damn about what other people think. Scott comes in. Tells Julie that her finding the pen did nothing to change Dara's mind. Still going to the grand jury. Eve pipes in that she doesn't think the grand jury will indict. Julie gets beeped. Eve sarcastically jokes to Scott about using her pen to kill the mailman. They argue, again, about the pen. Eve stomps off. Dr. May is in with Joe and Karen's pet cancer patient. The circus is coming to the hospital. Joe and Karen, outside the room, joke about Joe dressing as a clown. They discuss the grand jury. Joe can empathise with Julie if she did kill her dad ÷ he remembers when his dad used to beat on him and Frank. A person can only take so much before they fight back. Lucy is home at the Lighthouse. She's excited to tell Kevin that Scott and Eve split. Lucy didn't even have to tell Scott anything about the escort service or seeing Eve kiss Chris. It finally dawns on the self-centred Lucy that Kevin is upset. He tells Lucy about Victor's picnic story and the brainwashing of the memory. He called the Jasmine Island police department. Marsha's death was not an accident. It was murder, and the case is still open. Karen, Joe, Frank and Eve discuss circus acts for the hospital show. Karen suggests a magic act, but Julie wants to know if she can make a murder charge disappear. They again do a chorus of "Julie could never have done it". Scott comes in. Apparently the grand jury thinks otherwise, as they have handed down a second degree murder indictment. Trial date set. Julie thought she could handle it, but it hits her hard. Kevin thinks maybe he should leave it all to rest. Lucy wants him to try piecing it all together. Kevin remembers that at the same time as the picnic, there was a circus. He sees the hand holding the knife, but he can't see who is holding it or who is getting stabbed. Maybe Victor didn't see everything. Maybe his mother did kill Marsha. If he went forward with the information he has, maybe he could bring peace to the woman's family. But he could also get Victor in trouble. He's upset ÷ why do so many people have to suffer so that he can be free of his past? Kevin likes Lucy's logic that he's incapable of doing anything wrong once he knows the right thing to do. He thanks her for having faith in him. Calliope music that plays in his dreams about the circus is the dam music that was playing in the funhouse the night that Ryan died. It's all tied together ÷ books, picnic, funhouse.
