She tells Chris that she has the surveillance videotape. She is on her way to tell Scott. She knows that she was still the one who left Serena alone in the car, but this tape will show who Lucy really is. There's quite a crowd in Serena's room, between the people (Kevin, Lucy, Scott, Karen, and Serena) and the toys (a variety of stuffed animals). Serena is only "kind of" happy to be going home. She's also scared - how will she live there if she can't see. Scott reminds her that the mobility specialist says Serena is doing fine. Lucy assures Serena that all of them will be there for her. Karen bought her a new pair of glasses. Serena doesn't want the new glassses; Karen thought she might want some options. Serena hates wearing glasses; what if she has to wear them forever? Before Eve can show the tape to Scott, Garcia comes to see Eve. He asks about her pen - which was exactly like the murder weapon. Between that and her bracelet by the body, he has questions. He wonders where she was last night when the killer called WLPC. He takes her down to the station to take dental impressions to match the teeth marks on the pen. Eve refuses; Garcia tells her she can come voluntarily or he'll get a warrant. She finally decides to go with him. Serena and Scott, accompanied by Kevin and Lucy, arrive home. Scott has to encourage Serena to use her cane. Serena slowly navigates her way around the room, counting steps and so on, while Kevin and Lucy look on. Serena is sad that she can't see her mommy's star anymore. But Neil told her that whatever she can't see with her eyes, she can see with her head. She wants the light saber Neil gave her, but they discover that they left it in the hospital. Lucy offers to go to the hospital and get it. Kevin has to meet the musicians at the wedding rehearsal. Serena asks her to count the steps in the church for her; Lucy tearfully promises to do so. After they leave, Serena falls and hurts her knee; unhappy and frustrated, she begins to cry. Eve arrives back at the hospital, picking wax out of her teeth. She explains to Chris about her encounter with Garcia. Chris is worried about their joint (and false) alibi for Devlin's murder. Eve heads to Serena's room to talk to Scott; when she arrives there, she finds Lucy leaving the room with Serena's light saber. Lucy tells Eve that nobody will believe she had anything to do with the accident; Eve can't believe that Lucy is denying guilt. Lucy tells Eve that people reap what they sow; Eve retorts, "I hope you believe that." Lucy continues to harp on Eve's role in Serena's accident, and then exults that she is about to marry "the kind of man you can only dream about." Meanwhile, Serena has basically given up hope. Scott is trying to convince her to do things on her own, but she insists that she wants Scott to carry her to her room. She doesn't want to be in the wedding, and she doesn't want to wear the glasses anymore. She dissolves into tears again. Scott admits that this isn't going to be easy, but encourages her to try. Serena asks why Scott couldn't do anything to fix her eyes. He tells her he would give anything to do that, but he can't right now. He wants to help her to do things on her own. But Serena insists that it's too hard. Scott tells a story about building a birdhouse as a child that is supposed to show the value of doing things for yourself; it doesn't work. Serena asks Scott again to carry her upstairs "just once"; he can't refuse her. Lucy arrives home with the light saber. Kevin is there; she suggests that they drop the light saber off on their way to the wedding rehearsal. Lucy tells Kevin how blessed she feels to have him; he tells her how long he's been fantasizing about having her as his wife. Back at the nurses' station, Eve tells Chris about her encounter with Lucy. Eve has decided that private revenge won't do: Lucy needs to be publicly humiliated. GUESS WHO'S COMING TO DINNER ---------------------------- Karen and Joe meet in the hall at the hospital; Joe gives Karen the cheery news that Courtney is moving into the Scanlon house. He's doing it for Neil. Karen is upset, but Joe assures her that Courtney is not what he wants anymore. Karen is still upset; she feels "once bitten, twice shy" because of Jagger's affair. Joe thinks Jagger was crazy to let Karen go; Joe isn't that dumb. He is not going to let Karen go, and he is simply tolerating Courtney for Neil's sake. Karen likes the word "tolerate." They kiss. Back at Chez Scanlon, Joe tells Frank that Courtney is moving in. Frank gets upset; he doesn't like the way Courtney treated Joe. Joe doesn't understand why Frank is so upset. Courtney arrives at the Scanlon home. She thanks the guys for taking her in; Frank ungraciously responds, "Well, it was Joe's idea, not mine." Joe goes to the car to get the rest of Courtney's stuff; while he is gone, Frank and Courtney trade insults. -------------------- by Rika, Thursday updater
