Kevin denies that Victor is the person that he based General Homicide's
murderer on.  Victor thinks he is.  Later, Kevin realizes that the killer is
indeed based on Victor.  Victor comes out in full dress for Kev's wedding,
the suit had just arrived.  He's amused that the killer was based on him and
jokes about it - Lucy and Kevin don't share his amusement.  Victor feels
complimented that he was the inspiration for such a clever character.  Lucy
manages to turn the conversation to their wedding.  Kevin calls it the light
at the end of the tunnel - Victor tells him to make sure the light isn't just
an oncoming train.

Frank tells Joe, Julie, Lark, and Alejandro that he will die without the
experimental drug.  Julie and Joe are taking his vitals - Garcia wants to
question him.  They convince Garcia that he needs to get to the hospital,
Julie takes time out of the emergency to yell at Lark (well, Julie has her
priorities straight!!)  Lark informs her that it was Julie's dearly departed
Daddy who first got Frank on the drug by using him as a human lab rat.
They arrive at the hospital where Frank refuses to go to the chem ward
for treatment.  Frank says he doesn't need treatment, he needs DL-56.
He begs Julie to get him some.  Joe has security come and take him off
to the chem ward.  They drag him away while Joe and Julie agree to tell
people he became hooked on pain killers.  Julie heads off after Frank - Joe
goes to tell Karen about the situation.  Alejandro questions Lark and she
tells him Devlin first gave the drug to Frank.  She also tells him Frank found
out that he had been given it right before Devlin was murdered.

Scott waits impatiently with Karen and Eve for the outcome of the operation
on Serena.  Eve asks if he waits her to leave - he doesn't.  She tries to calm
Scott down without success.  Karen is slightly more successful.  Scott calls
Lucy and tells him about the operation.  Kevin and Lucy leave for the hospital,
Victor stays behind to "take care of some things".  Karen talks to Eve about
her feelings of closeness to her sister, Eve feels close as well.  Eve thinks
Scott still blames her - Karen asks her to give him time.  Eve doesn't think
time will help.  Scott comes back to the room - as impatient as ever.  Lucy
and Kevin arrive - Lucy is not happy to see Eve there.  Kevin tells her to
leave Eve alone - she agrees and they go in.  Karen tells them Eve found the
donor and TPTB continue to ruin Lucy's character by having her point out
that Eve is responsible for Serena needing a transplant in the first place.
Scott tells them that the corneas came from Dr. May and that Eve talked to
Dr. May's husband to get them.  Kevin thinks that must have been a difficult
thing to do, Lucy is stunned.  Joe arrives and takes Karen aside and tells her
about Frank and the DL-56.  They go to the chem ward and try to figure out
what to do.  Karen wants to try something that worked on some of the rats,
Joe wants to give him a dose of DL-56 until they can figure out the best way
to treat the withdrawal symptoms.  Out in the hall, Julie is hostile to a
curious
Garcia.  She tells him that Lark is lying and there's no proof Bennett gave
Frank some.  Garcia thinks Frank may be the killer.  Julie refuses to help him
out.  Back in the chem ward, Julie comes in - she couldn't find any of the
drug.  She started a new batch, but it won't be ready until tomorrow morning.
Joe worries he won't make it until then.

In a scene that was too irritating to rewatch, Lucy claims Eve killed May for
her corneas.  Kevin tells her that corneas can be taken from a corpse so there
was no need to kill someone.  Lucy interrupts Eve and Scott talking.  They
talk a bit about Kevin and Lucy's wedding.  A nurse comes out to tell them
that there's been a complication.  (Cliffhanger)

Victor, wearing a sweatshirt and stocking cap, is reading General Homicide.
Next to him is a net and some scissors.  He touches the net and says "Perfect".
He picks up the scissors and says "Just what the doctor ordered" - the camera
pans around and the page in the book has Kevin's picture taped to it!
