Lucy is visited by the Escort boss.  He's carrying a gift for her in a shopping
bag.  She puts it on - it's a Zena outfit.  She doesn't want to wear a wig, but
he tells her she has to wear the black wig.  She complains about being almost
arrested.  He tells her he'll take care of her.  She asks him if there is a
chance
of her involvement being known - if there is a paper trail.  He tells her that
no
one could crack his files.  She wants to see them and he refuses.  Kevin walks
in..  Lucy claims that the man is Henri - a new designer for the Nurses Ball.
"Henri" flounces out.  Kevin tells her he doesn't like Henri's taste in
costumes.
But since she has it on...  She asks if he has a sword - he says he'll see what
he
can do.

Later, Lucy arrives at a customer's seedy apartment building.  She flashes
back to the PI telling her about the rumours that Eve was a paid escort  She
tells herself she's doing it for Scott and Serena.  Calling herself Xanadu, she
goes in to meet a guy wearing underwear and a stuffed lion around his neck.
He's supposed to be Hercules.  He wants them to lay on his bear skin rug
(the bed).  But Lucy wants to hear his exploits with women of yore.  He
wants to know how yore, and she tells him 3-5 years ago, perhaps brunette.
He does remember one who was very young, buxom, full lips, big eyes, but
he doesn't remember her name.  Then he remembers - Evelyn Honeysuckle.
He tells her he saw he about six months ago and she was dressed as a......then
he has a heart attack before he can say.  Lucy call  (This made me wonder if
this story could get any stupider, unfortunately, I think it can and will.)

Victor comes in to give Kevin a letter his publisher that was accidentally
sent to the hospital - it's a check.  A reporter calls about Jules being
poisoned in the book and tells Kevin about Julie's poisoning.

Joe and Frank try to resuscitate poisoned Julie.  Frank starts in with his
paramedic kit.  Something they give her brings her around.  Since the
substance worked - it means she had a drug overdose.  Frank claims that
Julie wouldn't use drugs.  Her head hurts as she awakes but she seems
otherwise fine.  Frank carries her off to go to the ER.  They put her on an
opiate reversal drug and along with Jake and Mary - they realize someone
tried to kill her.  Jake tells Chris and Karen that Julie had an opiate
overdose.
Karen says "No way!"  In a nice tie-in to GH, Chris says it's not uncommon
for a doctor under stress to sample medicine - it's a dirty little secret.
They
discuss how the book is being followed.  "Jules Melvin" came to town
posing as "Jules Norris",   Jake's character gets to find out how it feels to
be a lab rat at the end of the day, Tris Rambo gets cut down to size and
bleeds to death, and Carol Waxler, the ex-stripper is treated to a hangman's
noose.  They realize that the killer seems to be going in random order.
They discuss Lark's going missing.

Meanwhile, back at the Scanlon's, the cops are searching the place while
Eve paces.  Scott arrives and Eve fills him in on everything.  This convinces
Eve that Julie is innocent.  Frank arrives and Garcia comes upstairs and
starts questioning him about what she ate and drank during the day.  Frank
and Alex argue.  Scott tries to calm Frank down and he stomps back to the
hospital.  Scott then starts in on Garcia about the murders following General
Homocide.  He yells at him that both himself and his daughter are in the
book along with everyone he cares about in PC.  Then *he* stomps out.
