Serena and Scott prepares to leave the hospital.  She says goodbye sadly
to a girl there with Cystic Fibrosis, and hopes she'll be going home soon
too.  Scott tells her it's okay to be happy that she can see and leave the
hospital.  He tells her when they leave and close the door to the room,
they will be  leaving all the bad stuff in there.

Courtney is getting Neil ready for a party for Serena.  He tells her that he
invited his Dad and is excited when John arrives.  Frank comes in and is
testy, Neil and John leave happily, Courtney follows, not so happy.  Julie
comes down and Frank tells her about the little family.  Julie thinks it's good
they are together - Frank says he can recognize a Bad Dad from his coaching
little league days.  Julie wants sex and they head back upstairs.  After, Julie
is eating ice cream and happy with his two favourite things - sex and ice
cream.  Frank gets up to turn on the TV and sees the paper with a letter
from the prosecutor who still thinks Julie is guilty.  She doesn't care because
"the jury found her not guilty" and she "can't be tried twice".  The wording
gives me hope that she is guilty since she never mentions innocence.

Kevin arrives at Serena's empty hospital room with a gift.  Eve comes by
and tells him she went home with Scott.  They mention that the GH killer
is still loose, then decide to think about happier things - Serena's sight.
Neither one is going to the party, Kevin says he doesn't want the tension
between him and Lucy to spoil things.  They go for coffee.  Kevin admits
that he likes variety in his obsessions and goes back and forth between
thinking about Scott/Lucy and the murders.  Thinking of Scott is too painful
for Eve, so she wants to think about the murders.  Kevin feels that there is
something in the book that he's missing and the killer won't be caught until
he figures it out.  Kevin asks if he wrote everything he knows and thinks
about the murders - would she read it over?  She'd be happy to.

Everyone (almost) is at the party at the firehouse to celebrate Serena's sight.
With Hansen Mmmbopping in the background, Serena is looking forward to
to having to wear her glasses.  Even the rumour that Posh Spice has a pair
doesn't make her want to keep them.  She notices that Eve and Kevin aren't
there - Lucy says Eve is probably very busy at the hospital.  Courtney, Neil,
and John arrive.  There are a bunch of little conversations:

Lee feels bad about what he did to Scott and offers to defend him from any
charges stemming from his testimony.  Scott accepts.

Karen and Joe confront John about not coming to see Neil after Karen called
him.  John says he didn't come because he didn't want to upset Neil, and he
regrets not coming earlier.

Scott flirts with Lucy while she's cutting the cake.

Neil and Serena are playing a board game and are getting excited - Courtney
tells Neil to calm down a little, so John tells her to quit babying him.  Joe
pulls
him aside and tells him to leave Courtney alone.

John guesses to Karen that Joe and Courtney are dating.  She fills him in on
the relationship structure and Joe and Courtney's past of about 8 years ago.
John muses that that was right before they married and flashes back to
Courtney telling him that he isn't Neil's biological father.  He also wonders
about Courtney bringing Neil to the hospital where her ex works and then
moving into his house.  He walks away, leaving Karen looking a bit anxious.

Lee and Gail flirt in the kitchen (must be something about the room!)  They
talk about Scott being a good father, and Lee's feeling bad about the court-
room scene.  She mentions falling in love with him "about 20 years ago".
They decide to take off and find other activities.

Back at the Scanlon house, Courtney dismisses John - he leaves.  Courtney
goes upstairs.  Karen and Julie defend having John in Neil's life - the
Scanlons
disagree.  Karen points out that what's important is what Neil wants - they
have to be objective.  Joe snaps that he can't be objective when it comes to
Neil.

Lucy is doing dishes and says she doesn't want the night to end.  Serena
wants her to stay for a sleepover.  Scott is momentarily hesitant, but agrees.
So does Lucy - Serena is very excited.
