Liz and Emily were decorating the GH Christmas tree discussing their love lives.  Emily was discouraged, because she wanted Zander to be out of jail by now.  Liz reassured her that it would all work out, and Zander was safe in jail.   Audrey complimented the girls on the lovely tree and invited Liz and Lucky to her home for Christmas dinner.  

Gia went to see Laura at Deception to discuss the test pictures.  Laura explained that she had her mind set on Liz and it may be hard for her to change her mind.  Gia told Laura that Carly made it seem to her that she had a real chance and that she would like to have the test, and told Laura, that once Laura saw her test she just may change her mind.    Gia left Deception and met Nikolas at Kelly’s.  Gia was upset about her conversation with Laura, and when Nikolas told her it was lauras birthday, Gia was even more upset, she felt that had she known it was her birthday she would have mentioned it and possibly scored some points with Laura.   Lucky arrived and told Gia she may as well give up…. Liz was going to be the next face of Deception.  

Just as Laura was ready to leave her office, Scotty arrived and told her that there was a contract emergency and she needed to stay to work it out.  Laura didn’t buy his story and began questioning him.  Scotty confessed that he was there to celebrate her birthday with her.  Scotty presented her with a nameplate with her name and the title of President and CEO.  Laura commented that if she used it, Carly would be furious. 

Laura thanked Scotty with a REAL kiss.  Just then, her kids, Lucky, Nikolas, and Lulu came in with Liz, Amy and Lesley. 

Felicia and Mac meet at Kelly’s, they talk about the past year and the mistakes they made.  Mac tells Felicia; she doesn’t owe him any explanations about her life and hope that they can continue to be friends in the future.  

Mac meets up with Roy at the Police Station, Mac tells Roy that they need to work together to bring Larkin in.  Roy seemed very skeptical at Macs ability to get Larkin and bring him in.   Roy left his meeting with Mac and went to see Zander, and let him know that Sonny will protect him once he gets out of jail.   Unknown to Roy and Zander, one of Sorel’s men was eavesdropping on their conversation.  As Roy is leaving, Emily arrives.  Emily tells Zander that she hasn’t been able to get in touch with Sonny.   After Emily leaves Mac visits with Zander, and accuses him of continuing to lie about the death threats he has been receiving from Sorel.  Zander convinced him that he was telling the truth and Mac offered to protect him, but Zander said Macs protection was no good.    

Bobby showed up at Roy's, while she is waiting for him, she begins to look at his collection of Christmas cards, there is a letter from a sister of a man who was killed in prison.  The letter stated that she no longer held Roy responsible for her brother’s death.    Roy arrived home and found Bobby sleeping on his sofa, Bobby woke up and asked him about the letter and picture, he didn’t know what letter and picture she was talking about.  

Alexis went to see Carly and asked if she had heard from Sonny.  Carly assumed it was about the failed wedding and launched into a tirade about Sonny not being Alexis’ problem solver.  Alexis told Carly that Sorel had threatened her.   Alexis said that Sorel was getting desperate and that he would do anything to stop Zander from testifying against him.  Carly understood the seriousness of the threats and called Benny. 

After leaving the penthouse, Alexis went to the jail and told Zander that the judge has ordered his release based on his testimony against Sorel.  

Carly is getting ready for the GH Christmas party and went to tell Johnny to run an errand for her.  When she went into the hallway, Johnny wasn’t there, she began to look for him and just then, Sonny stepped off the elevator.  Carly was thrilled to see him and greeted him with a huge hug.

            Luke was packing for his trip when Bobbie arrived to retrieve the account ledgers for Kelly’s.  She wondered if he had forgotten Christmas, which he had, and reminded him that if he was going away, he should visit his daughter first.  He took her advise and headed to Laura’s.  He was dismayed to find Scott, his daughter Serena, Leslie, and Lu Lu together sorting tree decorations.  When Laura arrived, she was surprised to see Luke until he explained he was going to be away for Christmas and wanted to say goodbye to Lu Lu.  When the little girl got her jacket the two went onto the porch where Luke reassured his daughter that Santa would always be able to find him. 

            Bobbie and Roy were at the diner, all dressed for the wedding and waiting for Felicia to join them.  As they discussed Luke’s leaving Felicia arrived and was upset to hear Luke was going, so she excused herself.  She went to Luke’s office, and when he returned, she was waiting for him.  As they talked, Mac arrived to question Luke on the break in at the Cassadine home.  He expressed his desire that Luke and Stefan would deal with each other in some other country.  Felicia assured Mac that she was not accompanying Luke.  After he left, Felicia gave Luke several long kisses goodbye. 

            Ned and Brook Lynn inspected the church and Ned reassured her that his love for her would continue even if he and Alexis had a baby.  Later Monica and Alan both expressed their happiness to Ned about his marrying Alexis.  Edward told Ned that Alexis saw Ned for who he was and still loved him.  He commented on the benefits of marrying a strong woman and told a touched Ned that he loved him and had always been proud of him, never more than that moment. 

As Alexis began to get ready, Elton was panicking that her dress had not arrived.  Gradually she assembled the necessary items: an old handkerchief from Stefan that had been owned by Alexis’ grandmother, a blue garter from Brook Lynn, borrowed earrings from Carly, and half a sixpence for her shoe from Lila.  Chloe arrived with the dress and then went to the sanctuary.  At her nod to Ned that all was fine, the music began.  Everyone turned to look at the doors and gasped when it was Helena who walked in.  She took her seat and exchanged glares with Stefan and Chloe. 

Brook Lynn, followed by Emily, then Carly proceeded down the aisle.  Meanwhile, Nikolas went to get the finally dressed Alexis and the two made their entrance.  Just before they began their walk down the aisle, Alexis had a vision of the Quartermaines gathered together, Edward waving a divorce flag, AJ sloshed and Ned swinging a ball and chain. 

Next Time: 

-                      Nikolas is about to escort Alexis down the aisle.

-                      Tony asks Felicia what Luke has to offer her.

-                      Dara tells Zander the judge is considering his plea bargain.

-                      Sorel is told that “the Smith kid” is set to testify.

Chloe brought a Christmas tree to Stefan, after he admitted that he didn’t usually decorate the estate himself, Chloe convinced him that this year would be different and that she would help him. Luke was hiding behind one of the secret panels, preparing to break into Stefan's safe to get any information he may have regarding the whereabouts of the Ice Princess. When Stefan left the room to escort Chloe to the door, Luke was able to crack the code and get into the safe. Luke took whatever cash was in the safe as an “advance” some documents and the Cassadine ring.  

Laura arrived at Kelly’s and began to talk to Liz about modeling for Deception. Liz was hesitant at the idea, she was concerned that she would look foolish and didn’t want to work with Carly. Gia overheard the conversation and told Lucky to intervene, because his girlfriend was blowing a chance of a lifetime. Lucky tried to convince Liz to take the job, but Liz explained that she really wasn’t interested. Laura ran into Scotty as she was leaving Kelly’s and invited Serena and him to her house for a “family” tree decorating party.  

Roy met up with Tony, Bobby and Lucas at the Christmas tree lot and told Bobby he had some news on her recent case of “forgetfulness”. Bobby wanted to talk about it then, but Roy suggested she stay with Tony and Lucas and meet him at Kelly’s later. When Bobby arrived at Kelly’s, Roy told Bobby about Larkin’s release and he was probably the one setting Bobby up. Roy begged Bobby to let him handle it; he would find Larkin and deal with the problem himself.  

Carly didn’t react well to the news of Sonny’s pending trip and as usual became insecure and began questioning his priorities. Sonny explained that she and Michael were the most important aspects of his life, but this was a business situation that required his personal attention. Sonny explained to Carly that he would be safe and that he would be home as soon as he could get there. Carly compared Sonny’s concern at her attending the rehearsal dinner at the Quartermaines alone with her concern of him being in a dangerous situation in Puerto Rico. Sonny tried to explain why he had to go, but Carly would hear it. She left Sonny to go to the rehearsal dinner. 

The rehearsal dinner began with the normal Quartermaine bickering. Edward asked Ned where Alexis was, and began his usual tirade about Ned marrying again and to a Cassadine no less. Ned warned his grandfather to be on his best behavior. AJ arrived and immediately began taunting Ned about his “hiding bride”, Ned threatened AJ to behave or he was off the guest list. Alexis arrived a few minutes late and began explaining her day of bad luck – a flat tire escapade. Edward asked if they were going to be forced to hear Alexis’ “litany of woes or are we going to eat?” Just then, a crash came from the kitchen, Cook had caught AJ snacking and boycotted cooking based on AJ’s lack of respect. Edward offered to go talk to Cook, but Lila told him it would only make matters worse – Edward agreed and Monica went to talk to cook. Monica returned to the table defeated and Lila asked AJ to order pizza. Carly arrived in the midst of the chaos and was immediately insulted by AJ and Edward, who wanted to know where her thug of a husband was. Chloe arrived and told Alexis that her dress had been in a fire at the factory, but that she had made other arrangements and Alexis would have the dress for the wedding. Edward continued in true Edward form and Alexis called him a “blowhard and left the room. Nicholas followed Alexis and offered to cover for her while she escaped the insanity of the Quartermaines. Nicholas returned to the table and informed everyone that Alexis had received a call regarding Cassadine business and left to attend to an emergency.  

Alexis arrived at Sonny’s just as he was leaving for the airport. Alexis told Sonny about her day and the dinner and asked Sonny not to go to Puerto Rico, she needed him to be at the wedding for her. Alexis told Sonny that he was the only objective grownup that she knew, he didn’t sulk or throw tantrums like the Quartermaines. Alexis began to question her decision to marry Ned, and Sonny played devils advocate until Alexis realized that she wanted to be with Ned forever, she just didn’t want to become a “Quartermaine” and lose her identity in the process. After Alexis left, Carly returned to the penthouse and was relieved that she caught Sonny before he left. She wished him a safe trip and to return home soon- by Christmas. She wanted to tell him that she loved him, but couldn’t do it. Alexis returned to the Quartemaines, she told Ned that she panicked and needed to get away from the Q’s for a little while. Ned told her that the family had promised to be on their best behavior for the wedding. Ned also told her that if she was having second thoughts, he understood. Alexis replied that when she said, “I do” tomorrow she would mean it with all her heart.  

Next time on GH:

Luke shows up at Laura’s decorating party

Stefan gives his approval to Alexis

Alan doesn’t have the wedding rings

Hello People!!!
TGIF....it's hormonal Friday on GH....sort of....

Boobie/Roy…these scenes are short and about Boobie forgetfulness. Hormorne pills Boobie, hormone pills. Watch if interested. Question...is it me or did Boobie have on the same outfit Carly had on yesterday? Carly's skirt was black and Boobie's was red. Oh wardrobe!!! Another question, with the fire and unpaid taxes, can Boobie afford to close Kelly's early so Liz can go on a date? Sheesh...people GET REAL.

Liz & Lucky.... their scenes were short too, thank goodness, especially since they were unoriginal. Let's see, after Kelly's closes, they have a romantic dinner with candles, dance and then head upstairs. You've seen these scenes a zillion times on a zillion shows. No, no love making scenes. Watch if interested.

Zander/Taggert/Sonny.....oooooooohhhhhh, scenes with some of my favorite men. The testosterone was flying. Did Sonny and my baby Taggs look good or what? I could just sop them up with a biscuit, LOL. Taggert and Sonny get into a confrontation about Zander. Taggert accuses Sonny of convincing Zander to lie to get rid of Sorrell. Sonny accuses Taggert of disregarding Zander's testimony because Taggert hates him. I hate to see my baby look dumb but Sonny broke it down. Sonny pointed out that Sorrell was a drug dealer Zander worked for. Wouldn't it make sense that if Zander told Sorrell about an undercover cop investigating him, Sorrell would be the one to have Dead TEd killed? Sonny also pointed out that Mac and Taggert didn't want to believe Luke about Stephan either. Sonny was like I'm cleaning up your mess cause you couldn't do your job. Taggert couldn't say anything. Sonny then meets with Zander. Zander tells Sonny about Sorrell getting threats to him in jail. Sonny tells Zander that he is now under his protection and that he doesn't have to worry about Sorell. The only thing Zander needs to do is keep his mouth shut until Alexis can go to the feds and work out at deal. Here that Zander, Sonny's got your back!! Lawd knows I wouldn't mind having Sonny stand behind me....take that anyway you like ladies, woooooohoooooooo, LOL!!!

Luke....watch his scenes if interested. Heck, watch just because FLEA isn't in them. First, the bill collectors are after him and give him a call. Next, Alexis stops by and invites him to go Ned's bachelor party. Later, Roy comes by and he and Luke go to the bachelor party to start a poker game. Told you, nothing really interesting happening.

Gia and Mama Taggs.....watch if interested. Gia and Mama Taggs meet and Kelly's and Gia tells her about her job with AJ. Mama Taggs questions why AJ would hire her but she figures the job will do until Gia goes back to school and MOVES INTO THE DORM. Hint, hint....she doesn't like Gia and Nick living together. Exasperated, Gia tells her not to worry. There is no hanky-panky going on, she and Nick have no social relationship, they don't share the same friends, they don't hang out. Shortly after that statement, Nick walks into Kelly's and makes a beeline for their table. BUSTED AGAIN. Mama Taggs was like Hi Nick....surprised to see you come over since my daughter says you two don't hang out. Nick covers for Gia. Gia, Gia, Gia....when will you learn? Stop lying and maybe Mama Taggs could trust you .

The Bachelor Party....the party is being held a Jakes. AJ comes in and Alan tries to convince him to go home. He doesn't want AJ to get drunk and ruin the occasion. AJ states that he wouldn't miss this party for the world, even though Ned will probably have five more in his lifetime. Alan begs AJ not to drink at the bar. AJ pulls out his flask and said okay....I'll provide my own. Soon Edward and Tony arrive. Edward takes AJ to task for drinking. Next Juan and Nick arrive. Juan heads straight for the bar to drown his Emily blues in beer. HELLO....JUAN IS A MINOR!!! Will any one the adult men stop him from drinking please? Nick just stands there and lets him drink. Juan is on his second beer and tells Nick that he and Emily split up. To paraphrase Juan....maybe Emily would still love me if I kidnapped her. Yeah, that's what I should have done. Usually Eddie Munster gets on my nerves but I felt bad for him, poor thing. Nick decides Juan has had enough when he goes for that third draft and takes him home. Meanwhile, Ned arrives. Ned notices AJ is drunk and they start to go at it. They get into a scuffle and Edward yanks AJ's flask away. Guess what.....the flask is filled with WATER. AJ isn't drunk at all, hasn't been drinking for some time. AJ....you mean to tell me you've been obnoxious, mean, petty and a pest all this time and you haven't been drunk? Alan questions why AJ has been acting this way all this time. Hey, it's what everyone expects. That's not the only surprise AJ has in store. Luke and Roy then enter the scene and rope Ned and Edward into a card game. As Luke rakes in Eddies money....the lights go dim and a big ole stripper cake rolls out. Then out pops a LOIS look-alike who screams CONGRATULATIONS NED ASHTON. I was ROTFLMAO. AJ is in the background with the biggest smirk on his face. Ohhhhhhhhh AJ, what a naughty thing to do.....I think I am beginning to love you again.

The Bachelorette Party....first we witness the meeting of the dumb, blond twit society aka exclusive Chloe and Flea scenes . Flea brings Chloe up to speed on everything that happened during the Luke trial. One minute, she tells Chloe that she is sorry for how she humiliated Mac and how she wants her family back . The next thing she says is that she can't live without Luke. WTH? Chloe raves about how Stephan took care of and comforted her on the island during their captivity. For one moment, old Felicia returned and told Chloe not to trust Stepahn…. "Stephan's friends are Helena enemies". Then she slipped into thin air as Flea started to talk about Luke again. Does Chloe heed her advice....NO. I know what everyone says....yada, yada, yada....he was so good to me, yada, yada, yada, he was a complete gentleman. Man....Stephan would have had you wrapped around his little finger if he hadn't started falling for.....UGH....I can't even write it....I don't even want to think about it!!! Soon, others arrive to the party....Alexis, Monica, Boobie, Gia, etc. Chloe makes a lovey toast in Alexis honor. It really was sweet. Carly arrives later with samples of Deception makeup. Be honest and raise your hands if you thought Carly's goodies were a bunch of strippers? Yes, my hand is in the air too, LOL. Gia gains points with Carly when she let her know that Liz wasn't a friend of hers but blew it when she mentioned that she and Sonny know some common people....namely DEKE. Carly was like don't go there and walked away, LOL. AJ struck again cause the next thing you know, a male dancer, followed by the media, runs into the party and starts dancing. He stripped down to some tiger-striped drawers and sat on Alexis' lap. Looks like pictures of Eddies Angel with Beefcake Billy will be everywhere. I gotta go there....LA is sin city. The next time GH wants to have a stripper, go out and find a real stripper, not a wannabe. Girlfriend had a body but no rhythm or timing. And no....GIRLFRIEND is not a typo

Hello People!!!  Carly....Carly was a little angry that Laura decorated the Deception offices without consulting her and confronted her. Okay....I will concede....my girl was a little RUDE. You know how Carly is though. If she thinks you are trying to step on her, she is going to STOMP on you back. Carly was right; Laura was out of line. Once Carly calmed down and explained herself....Laura apologized. Carly could have been a little more gracious about accepting the apology, then again Laura needs to quit acting like she is the BOSS. The quicker BOTH of them learn they can't run roughshod over EACH OTHER, the quicker they will get along. Carly wouldn't have to worry about this if she would get her OWN business but that’s my wish so I guess I must go along with the storyline. Then they get into it about the Deception ad campaign. Carly had a point, new company, new campaign but she didn't have to throw that rock at Brenda's memory. Later, Chloe (ack, gag, ack, sputter, gag, ack) visits Carly to talk to her about Alexis wedding. NOOOOOOOOOOOOO....when did the two of them become chummy? Why does Chloe have to be in scenes with my girl? Keep Chloe the Good Witch Barbie AWAY....FAR FAR AWAY!!! Carly volunteers to give up being Alexis made of honor. Chloe doesn't accept but says she will plan the bachelorette party. She, unlike Alexis (and may I say I was totally surprised), knows what this means to Carly. Oh gawd, Chloe is going to be Carly's friend, UGH.

Helena....ahhhhhh, Helena wastes no time putting her plans into action. Helena goes to see Luke at his club and asks him if he knows anything about Darius and Olga Cassadine, while Flea huddles underneath the desk and clutches his leg. How did Flea get underneath the desk you ask? Prior Fluke scene....not important. Helena expresses her disappointment in Luke's current attempt at deception. A Cassadine named OLGA she pointed out was a dead give away. Luke denies, denies, denies. Soon they are engaged in their flirty talk, you know, he comes on to her, she sort of responds back. I swear, these two need to do it and get it out of their systems once and for all. Later, Helena sees Stephan on the docks....more Oedipus Rex banter. She wastes no time in telling Stephan how Luke kidnapped and tried to strangle Nick. Deflection is the name of her game. She couldn't have timed it better....Luke comes strolling down the docks. Stephan immediately confronts him and tells him to stay away from Nick. Luke was like, what if I don't, what are YOU going to do, pretend to be dead again? Good question. Stephan was hot after that LOL. Just as they are about to get into it....here comes Laura. Laura tells the both of them she doesn't care what either one of them does as long as they leave her and her children alone. Right....like they are going to listen to her, WHATEVER.

Zander and the PCPD....why do they insist on making Mac and Dara look like idiots? First, Dara and Alex, the cop from Port Charles FATE (whatever, LOL), read the nasty little newspaper article about Mac. It questions his abilities as Police Commissioner. Why can't he catch who killed Dead Ted? Why was Luke put on trial when Stephan's alive? Why didn't he know that Stephan was alive? Is his wife's affair having an affect on him? Here is my question....why would you read that article out loud at the PCPD? I know everyone can pick up the paper and read it...but OUT LOUD in Mac's WORK SPACE in his FACE. That's just rubbing salt in the wound. Dara and Alex vow to stand behind Mac because they think he is a good PC. ;o)....stop laughing, LOL. What do you expect, we are talking about the keystone cops, of course they thinks he's good. Max says he isn't going to let the bad press get to him...YEAH RIGHT. Dara, Mac and Alex decide not to offer Zander a deal and prosecute him for the murder of Dead Ted. When Alexis arrives…Dara tells her about the change in the case. Alexis goes off on Dara. Now, I know you all think Dara is wrong and we know that Zander is innocent, but I am SICK AND TIRED of Dara being talked DOWN to and not DEFENDING herself (sucking teeth and rolling eyes don't count). I don't care if you think I am wrong...don't you yell and get in my face. Dara is a GROWN WOMAN and I am sick of them writing her as Alexis' footstool. Alexis goes to break the bad news to Zander. Emily is stunned and begs Zander not to give up. While Emily, Alexis and Zander converse, Juan arrives. WHY? To see if Emily is with Zander. Juan, Juan, Juan...stick to your guns....I'll respect you more. Juan talks to Hannah about Zem. Once again, WHY? When Emily leaves…she walks straight past Juan without so much as a hello. Ohhhhhhhhhhh…Juan, you should have stayed away...here are the pieces of your face.

A crooked copy delivers a note to Zander for Sorrell....TESTIFY AND YOU'LL DIE. I guess he didn't get the message the first time with the rat.

Mac and Flea...Flea read the article and comes to try to comfort Mac. She offers to go to the press. Oh that's nice Flea...put Mac business in the street some more, have your children witness this and humiliate Laura again (although that might be a good thing...sorry that's the CFF in me). Flea says she blames herself. Mac agrees that she should. Flea said if she would have come forward earlier, none of this would have happened. Mac agreed again, LOL. Flea tells him that she never meant to hurt him. Mac was like yeah but I got hurt anyway. Flea.....why don't you just shut up and go home.

The Qs....another wonderful Q breakfast. Lila asks Ned and Alexis if the rehearsal dinner/party could be held at the Q mansion. Edward has a fit. He does not want Cassadines and mob hoodlums in his house. Monica reminds him that it's her house. Chloe says not all the Cassadines are bad and that Carly is part of the wedding. AJ enters and tells Ned he is planning the bachelor party. You can imagine what Ned had to say about that...blah, blah, blah...you know the Q spiel by heart. Soon the whole family is fighting. Chloe comments to Alexis on how Stephan insisted on quiet in the mornings. Alexis notes that Chloe got to know him well. Yes, unfortunately for us....too well. In the end, they agree to have the party at the Qs.

Later, Emily returns home devasted that Zander won't be coming home for Christmas...boo hoo. Edward pushes her buttons and she goes off. Alright....I know she is genuinely upset...so the old schooler in me won't completely rant on her THIS TIME. Don't make it a habit.

Hello People!!!!

It was a pretty good Wednesday eppie.

Stephan and Helena....DO NOT MISS cause its on now!!! Helena was on the phone talking to someone about how she has to put Nick in an institution and take over as head of the Cassadine estate when Stephan appears in the doorway. She was so shocked she dropped the phone. After the initials hellos, Helena asks Stephan where he has been. Stephan begins to tell her about HER plan....how SHE poisoned and kidnapped him, how SHE kidnapped Chloe, how SHE kept them on an island, how SHE held them captive for months and how he rescued Chloe and himself from HER pretty prison. Ohhhhh....it was good. Helena complemented him on how much he learned from her. Then she asked him why he did he come to see her. Stephan coldly states "because I missed my mother". Then he proceeds to give her a deadly bear hug. And for a moment, she actually hugged him back with motherly affection. Back from commercial....Helena is fixing herself a drink. I can't believe it....my Helena is SCARED. Helena and Stephan continue to talk. As he leaves, Helena, not to be outdone, threatens Chloe. Stephan walks up to her and told her she better keep her distance from Chloe. Man o man o man o man!! The villain lover is me is in pure bliss, nothing like two good villains going at it.

Helena & Andreas....after Stephan leaves, Helena calls in Andreas to tell him that Stephan is alive and that SHE KNOWS WHO BETRAYED HER. ROTFLMAO....Andreas needs to check his shorts because he looked like he was about to *hit on himself. It was the doctor Helena concludes and Andreas gets his color back, LOL. You can see the wheels in Helena's head spinning. Oh yeah, the black widow is planning her next move and it ain't gonna be pretty.

The Qs....before Stephan saw his Mommy Dearest, he visits Chloe at the Q Mansion. He says he's gotten used to looking after her. Stephie baby, GET UN-USE TO IT....PLEASE!!! LOL, Edward asks Stephan's help in stopping Nexis from getting married. Stephan states that he agrees with Edward but knows that Alexis will do what Alexis chooses to do. After Stephan leaves, Edward and the family convince Chloe to move into the mansion. Later Stephan returns to see Chloe. They talk about something....I don't know what....I was put off at him grinning at her, UGH.

Juan/Emily/Zander....ZEM fans don't miss these scenes because Juan finally has it out with Emily and they breakup for good. Juan confronts Emily at the PCPD in front of Zander. He wants to know what is up between him and her and her and Zander. Juan wants to know why is she letting that sleaze convince her that he is innocent and conning her into helping him? Zander then jumps on Juan. To paraphrase...."oh, I'm a sleaze....who is the one who was using Em to further their career and as his personal cheering section?" Ooooooohhhhhhh. Juan asked Emily if that's what she thought about him. Emily stands there stunned trying to convince Juan to drop the subject. Juan was having none of it. He asked her straight out...do you want me or him? Once again, Emily says she couldn't make that type of decision, let's talk about it later. Juan was like oh no, you don' t have to talk, either walk out with me or stay with him. If you stay, it's over. IT'S OOOOOOOOVER!!! Emily told him that she couldn’t leave. When Juan leaves, Zander starts in. Why did you stay? What does it mean? How do you feel about me? Emily said she couldn't explain. Zander backs off and says that he wants to spend time with her, since Alexis might be able to get him released....starting with Christmas. Emily agrees. Once again I must question....why are these people, who live in New York, keep having dinner, picnics and walks in the park? IT'S WINTER AND COLD. It's cold in Michigan, so I know it's cold in New York. Attention writers, you live in CALIFORNIA but you must write like you live on the EAST COAST. Pay attention to the details.


Ned & Alexis....Ned tries to convince Alexis to move into Jax's penthouse. Alexis says no, she likes the penthouse she is in. She is settled there and she doesn't mind the body guards. Face it Alexis, you like Sonny and Carly....they're always interesting. Ned takes her to Jax's apartment anyway....just to get a feel for the place. Alas it is too late....when they arrive..AJ is there. He has leased the apartment for himself. Good going AJ. Question....didn't he live in that PH before? When Ned and Alexis leave...guess who shows up at Jax's PH. Hannah, looking to interview Chloe. AJ is pleased.

Roy & Boobie.....Roy took Boobie's car back to the shop and found out that the brakes were not tampered with....they weren't repaired. According to the work order....Boobie didn't indicate that the breaks should be repaired. Boobie insists that she told them to fix the breaks. Roy call the body shop and a representative meets them a Kellys. Sure enough, the copy of the work order does not indicate break repairs, the work order has been signed by her without listing the request and the mechanic she spoke to didn't remember her telling him to fix the breaks. Roy takes a distraught Boobie home. Boobie is scared that she is going crazy. No Boobie darling....you aren't crazy. You body simply knows something you've been trying real hard to forget...you're getting old. It's called MENOPAUSE. Believe me, my mother is going through this. She had us worried for a moment too. You would say something to her and five minutes later, she would ask you about the previous conversation. I insisted my mom go to the doctor and that's what it was. Boobie probably needs a prescription for hormones, if she doesn't mind the return of periods. My mother did mind. She said she rather lose all her marbles then put up with them again, LOL. I'm serious; she quit taking the hormones, LOL. I can't say I blame her.

Liz and Lucky....well, they have returned after their ONE NIGHT of loving. All that preparation, all that discussion with everybody and their mama, for ONE NIGHT. And you all were right, I forgot Nick loaned them the Jag. Here we go with the unoriginal afterglow dialogue. Liz...do I look different? No, you look like the same slizard that went to the hotel last night. Lucky...how about me? Nope, you're still Shaggy, still need a haircut. Liz and Lucky....do I have a neon sign on my head? Yes and the signs are flashing DORK!! What do our wonder teens do when they go into Kelly's? Instantly tell Nick and Tammy. I know it's a little late but keep your personal business PERSONAL. The town of PC doesn't need to know and I don't want to hear about it either.

Ned brought the day's newspapers to Alexis' penthouses and was thrilled to tell her that there was no mention of Eddie's Angel in any of them.  As Ned left to meet with his agent, Nikolas dropped by for a visit and told Alexis about Helena's threats to stop funding General Hospital if he didn't obey her.  Alexis promised to do everything she could to get Helena removed as the executor of the Cassadine fortune.  Luke showed up and Nikolas told him that kidnapping him had been a waste since Kevin was sure that Lucky would fully recover from Helena's programming.  After Nikolas left, Alexis tore into Luke for kidnapping her nephew.  Luke knew she was more shocked than angry, so he asked her to help him bring Helena down for good.  Alexis said no way, but agreed to cheer him on from the sidelines.  Later, Ned returned and told Alexis that there were no signs of reporters hanging around the building and that hopefully Eddie's Angel was now just old news.  As they kissed, however, they didn't see what someone faxed her: a picture of Alexis with her brand new green teddy. 

Bobbie stopped by the penthouse for a visit with her daughter.  Carly told her that she had great news, but before she could tell her about Deception Bobbie told her the Thanksgiving Day guest list.  Carly was furious to learn that Taggert, Hannah, Mac and Liz were all invited.  Carly accused Bobbie of never thinking of her feelings and said that she and Sonny and Michael would not be joining them at the Brownstone.  Bobbie left, both women hurt and upset. 

At Kelly's, Sonny asked Roy his opinion of Zander and if he thought he would really testify against Sorel.  Sonny explained that he had to decide if Zander was worth protecting.  Roy said he thought he was.  Meanwhile, Gia and Florence arrived for breakfast.  Florence recognized Sonny and went over to him and asked if he was Deke Woods' son.  Sonny answered that she was mistaken.  But Florence replied that he looked just like Adella Woods and she knew he must be her son.  Sonny said he was Adella's son, but Deke was only his stepfather.  As Florence began to tell Sonny how Deke had been a mentor for Taggert, Taggert came in and pulled her away from Sonny.  Roy asked Sonny if he grew up with Taggert and Sonny said no and left.  Taggert told Florence that Sonny was a racketeer and that he was the one who killed Deke.  Taggert vowed to bring him down for the murder one day, but Florence suggested that he stop thinking about vengeance and consider going back to school to become a lawyer or a doctor.  Taggert replied that he was happy being a cop.  Florence said she blamed Deke for convincing him to go to the police academy, but Taggert defended Deke by saying that he had saved his life by convincing him to quit running with the bad crowd.  After Florence left, Gia apologized to her brother for Florence using him to get her to go back to school.  Taggert said not to worry about it, but asked her to consider going back to college to study music.  Later, Nikolas met with Gia who filled him in on her family disagreement.  Meanwhile, after Sonny left him, Roy met with Agent Ford and asked him to put Zander in the witness protection program. Ford wasn't convinced that Zander was telling the truth about Sorel.  As Ford was about to leave, Bobbie walked up and overheard Ford offering Roy a job again.  When they were alone, Roy explained why he met with Ford and said that he wasn't going to work with the FBI again. 

Back at Sonny's penthouse, Carly told Sonny about her argument with her mother.  Sonny understood how Carly felt like Bobbie never chose her, but told her that Bobbie had just made a mistake and that didn't mean she didn't love Carly.  Carly asked why it wasn't the same for Sonny and Mike.  Sonny said he was tired of dealing with fathers and told her what Florence said about Deke.  He didn't want to talk about it though so he quickly changed the subject.  Carly realized that maybe Bobbie wasn't so bad after all and said that she had some errands to run and would probably stop by and smooth things out with her mother.  Before she left, she asked Sonny to consider trying to save his relationship with Mike because Mike really loved him. 

On the island, Chloe dreamed of Helena putting the Ice Princess diamond in a safety deposit box that already contained several disks and a letter from Faison promising that the disks would assure her continued power over Lucky.  When Stefan came in, Chloe told him about her dream and he immediately recognized the description of the Ice Princess.  He was disappointed when Chloe hadn't been able to pick up any clues as to where the bank was located and suggested that she should take a sleeping pill to help her dream.  Later, Stefan returned with a bottle of pills he said he stole from the guards.  Chloe tried to read the directions on the bottle but said it was too dark to see and fainted into Stefan's arms. 

Carly went to a bar on Courtland Street where she found Mike gambling with the money she had given him for rent.  She was furious and told Mike not to call her again and said that Sonny had been right about him all along.  She stormed out of the bar, but didn't notice two men following her.  Mike, meanwhile, went back to his card game.  While she was trying to find the cab that she had paid to wait for her, Sonny got a call from Bobbie at Kelly's who was looking for Carly.  Sonny was worried that Carly hadn't gone to see Bobbie but didn't let on to Bobbie his concern.  When Bobbie hung up, she ran head first into Sorel who said he needed to talk to Roy.  Roy quickly took Sorel outside and asked what he wanted.  Back at the penthouse, Sonny found out that his guards had lost Carly and told them to go straight to Courtland Street since he knew she must be seeing Mike.  As Carly fussed on the phone with the cab company, the two men grabbed her phone.  Carly warned them not to mess with Sonny Corinthos' wife, but as she made a run for it they grabbed her and said that Sorel had a message for her husband.

At Alexis' bridal shower, Carly tried to stop Alexis from opening her gift but wasn't in time to stop her from pulling out the green teddy just as the photographers snapped their pictures.  Carly ordered Johnny to take away their film and throw them out, but Alexis took her to the side and told her that if they strong-armed the press they were only asking for more unwanted publicity.  Carly agreed to do whatever Alexis thought best.  After the reporters were asked politely to leave, Carly apologized to Alexis and explained that she had left the present upstairs so she could open it in private.  Monica didn't buy that the teddy accidentally showed up in time for the reporters and accused Carly of setting the whole disaster up.  Lila and Gia both defended Carly but Monica stormed out after warning Alexis that Carly destroyed anyone who got close to her.  After all the guests left, Carly told Alexis that she could scream at her now.  Alexis assured Carly that she knew that it wasn't her fault but asked why it was so important to Carly to make the shower perfect for her.  Carly answered that she didn't have many friends and she wanted to thank Alexis for staying with her during her wedding.  Carly then asked if she liked the teddy and Alexis broke down in laughter.

Sonny asked Laura if she really understood that she was agreeing to work with Carly by accepting his deal.  Laura confessed she still had her doubts, but was willing to give it a try.  She did ask for a trial period though, which Sonny quickly refused.  He promised Laura that Carly would surprise her and that if she earned Carly's respect, Laura would never have a bigger and fiercer supporter.  Laura finally agreed to go through with it even without a trial period and she admitted to Sonny how excited she was about the future.  Later, Sonny returned to the penthouse and asked how the shower went.  Alexis said it was great and left, but Carly filled him in on the teddy incident and Monica's tirade.  She asked him why everybody always thought the worst of her.  Sonny sat her down on his lap and told her that Monica didn't know Carly like he did, and anyhow what the Q's thought shouldn't matter to her since she had other people in her corner.  She sarcastically replied "yeah, you and Michael."  Sonny added with a smile "and Laura."  Carly asked what he meant and Sonny delighted in telling her that Laura had agreed to work with her.  Carly was thrilled and hugged him.  She promised him that she would justify his trust and faith in her. 

Back at Alexis' penthouse, Alexis told Ned about the lingerie surprise that the reporters caught at her bridal shower.  Ned wasn't happy and promised Alexis that from now on they would control what information the press got more carefully.  She doubted that it would work and they both dreaded the next outbreak of Eddie's Angel fever.

As Luke and Felicia flirted with each other at the diner, Luke's supper was beginning to smoke.  Felicia asked if he smelled something and Luke said he could only smell her hair, "Was it pine needles or lemon?" he asked.  She finally convinced him to check the kitchen.  He found the small fire but said he could handle it and threw water on the gas fire that quickly erupted in a fiery inferno.  The fire alarm sounded through the night.  Meanwhile, upstairs, Liz told Lucky that she wanted to be with him in everyway and the two had begun to make love when they were interrupted by the alarm.  Luke quickly turned off the siren and Lucky and Liz settled back into bed and discussed how nervous they both were about making love for the first time.  As they started to kiss again the fire chief came to their door and ordered them to evacuate the building.  So they rushed outside and joined Luke, Felicia and the recently arrived Tammy.  As the fire was put out, Liz remembered the night of Lucky's "death."  Mac arrived just in time to see Felicia laughingly hold back Luke from going back inside.  Later, the firemen told them that there was only minimal damage and Luke and Tammy went inside.  Mac told an embarrassed Felicia that he wasn’t upset and that he trusted her judgment.  After Mac left, Felicia broke down in tears.  Luke came back out and thanked her for her help and she went home.  Back upstairs, Liz told Lucky about the night of the fire at Jason's motorcycle shop and Lucky held her.  After Luke told Tammy that he would clean up the kitchen mess by himself, he was pleasantly shocked to see Felicia walk back in and offer her services with the broom.

At the Port Charles Grille, A.J. welcomed Hannah to his birthday party and announced that she was his only guest.  Hannah was angry and accused him of trying to manipulate her.  She was about to leave, when he told her that the only thing he wanted for his birthday was one dance with her.  Hannah told him again that they were only friends and left.  A.J. blew out his candles and took a drink as he wished himself a Happy Birthday.

After Emily and Zander kissed, Emily pulled away and apologized.  She told him that she hadn't been thinking and had just been excited about his news.  Zander replied that he wasn't sorry and said that he thought their kiss had been coming for a long time.  Emily refused to believe that she had any romantic feelings for him.  Zander pleaded with her not to deny her true feelings, but all Emily would say was that they were wrong for each other.  Emily then hurried out the door.

Lucky was reading in his room when he heard a loud thud in Liz’s room, he went to her door to make sure she was okay, she answered wrapped in a towel and explained that she had knocked a lamp over.  Lucky was obviously distracted by the sight of Elizabeth in a towel.   Emily was waiting for Elizabeth downstairs at Kellys, Liz came down carrying a gift for Alexis’ shower.  The gifts looked exactly alike and the two figured out they had bought Alexis the same toaster. Lucky came down to the diner and he and Elizabeth made plans for dinner.  Emily asked if it was easy living next door to Lucky and Elizabeth confessed that being this close to Lucky made her want him more.    She and Emily talked about the possibilities of romance, but Elizabeth fears that Lucky is too concerned with the programming to act on his desires.  Emily told Elizabeth that she needed to make the 1st move, so that Lucky would know that Elizabeth trusted him.  

Carly and Sonny were at the penthouse, Carly was wrapping a gift for Alexis, Sonny noticed it was lingerie and asked if that was an appropriate gift for Eddies Angel.  Carly responded that it was what the Maid of Honor gives the bride… Carly tried to convince Sonny to stick around for the shower, and then asked him if the “polite stranger” attitude was going to last forever.  Sonny told her that he was upset because she was sneaking behind his back to see Mike and to give him his money to gamble with.  After Sonny left, Laura showed up, looking for Sonny.  Carly explained that she had just missed him, but she was more than welcome to stay for the shower. Laura politely declined.  Carly told Laura that she hadn’t spoken to Sonny about Deception, but she would soon.  Laura told her to hold off for a while, she wanted Sonny to invest because it was a good investment, not because Carly asked him to.  

Alexis met Zander at the jail and asked why he wasn’t cooperating with the police.  Zander told her that he was protecting Emily and that dying from a lethal injection was better than being beaten to death in a cell.  Alexis tried to convince him that Sorrel was bluffing and that if he could have Zander killed, he would be dead by now.   Alexis asked him to think it over and let her know what he wanted to do.  

Felicia and Mac met at Kelly's and discussed the crush Maxie has on Lucky.  Felicia was happy that Mac had noticed and stressed to him that a crush on Lucky Spencer was not a bad thing.  The two decided that it would be best for the girls if they spent as much time together as possible for the holidays.  

Sonny went to see Zander at the jail.  Sonny came on real tough and told Zander what he thought of drug dealers and kidnappers. Sonny went on to discredit Sorrel, but Zander thought that Sonny wanted Zander to testify against Sorrel because he wanted him out of the way.  Sonny became livid and started to leave, Zander stopped him and asked him if he was sure he could protect Emily.  Sonny told him he would protect Emily and if he did what Alexis asked him to do, he would probably get off.  Zander asked Sonny about Sorrel and Sonny told Zander that Sorrel was not as bright as Zander thought and that if the shoe were on the other foot, he’d (Sonny) would testify.  

Alexis and Ned arrived at the Penthouse for the shower.  Carly immediately offered them “horse derves” and cookies.   Elton, (the wedding planner) arrived and announced that the local newspaper would be covering the shower from beginning to end.  Alexis immediately nixed that idea, explaining that this was the home of Sonny Corinthos and he would not be happy with reporters and cameramen there.  They agreed that a photographer could take a few pictures of Alexis and nothing else, no description of the penthouse and no mention of the owner.  Gia noticed that nobody was talking to Carly, in fact, everyone was bashing her.   Carly overheard Elizabeth and Emily talking about her and began to argue with Elizabeth, Gia enjoyed the spat and defended Carly.  Gia was very impressed with Corinthos lifestyle and decided that Carly was okay. The photographer arrived to take pictures of Alexis opening the gifts.  The first was a toaster and the second was Carly's gift.  Carly realized the photographer was there and tried to stop Alexis from opening the gift, but was too late.  The photographer took the picture of Alexis opening the box of lingerie.

Sonny sat at a table at the grill, Laura met up with him and told him that she accepted his offer, he reminded her that the offer included Carly as a partner.  Laura said that was fine as long as Sonny promised that the money was legitimate. 

After the shower, Emily went to jail to see Zander, he told her he was going to testify against Sorel, Emily was so happy, she kissed him passionately. 

Elizabeth went to Lucky's room and began to undress, Lucky arrived and asked Elizabeth what she was doing.

At Luke's club, Felicia arrived and gave a surprised Luke lots of notes on bank accounting to help him in his financial war with Helena.  Luke asked if this meant that she was going to help him.  Felicia said she would, but refused to accompany him out of town when he asked.  She said she'd love to be his at-home link and telephone/internet partner in his scheme, but she couldn't go with him.  Frustrated, Luke lightened the mood by practicing possible accents for his bank inspector persona on her.  As they laughed, Bobbie walked into the club and confessed to Roy that she was worried that Luke would break Felicia's heart.  Meanwhile, Luke again asked her to travel with him, but she gently refused and decided she should leave.  Luke tried to get her to come back to his office but she left after saying hi to Bobbie and Roy.  Bobbie made a beeline to Luke and asked him to be careful with Felicia. 

At Kelly's, Hannah told A.J. that he has to stop hanging around her.  Later, when she's upstairs in her room, A.J. returned to Kelly's and asked Tammy if she would give Hannah this football jacket.  Before she could answer, Taggert walked in and offered to give it to Hannah himself.  Hannah walked down the stairs and saw the two men talking. 

Lucky warmed Liz after he helped her in through his window.  They passionately kissed, but Liz pulled away asking if he's changed his mind about waiting.  Lucky changed the subject and asked why she was out on the fire escape.  She explained that she had been wishing on stars when her window got stuck and she found herself locked out of her room.  Lucky tucked Liz into his bed and ran downstairs to get the passkey from Tammy.  

Meanwhile, Maxie and Mac have arrived at Kelly's for an after-theatre sundae.  Realizing that she can't find the whipped cream, Tammy called Luke's looking for Bobbie.  She was surprised and quite embarrassed when Felicia picked up the club's phone.  Mac overheard her and realized that Felicia was again with Luke.  Tammy apologized to Mac for making him feel uncomfortable, but Mac brushed it off saying it was no big deal.  Maxie, who is very dressed up, was thrilled to see Lucky as he came downstairs looking for Tammy.  Lucky told her that she looked great and asked about her night.  Maxie was in heaven as she had Lucky's undivided attention, but she was quickly hurt when Liz came downstairs and joined them.  After Mac returned to the table with sundaes in hand, an upset Maxie asked if Mac had ever had feelings for a younger woman.  After some thought, Mac told her he had and admitted that by the time he realized what he had missed, it was too late, since all the boys were now interested in this young girl.  Maxie smiled as her mood improved.  Later, when Felicia stopped by Kelly's on her way home, she invited Mac to come back to the house for pie.  He happily accepted. 

During their romantic getaway, Alexis admitted to Ned that she had bad "vibes" about getting married in the church they had chosen.  Ned offered to change wedding locales, but Alexis by that time had changed her mind again and agreed that the church would be fine.  When Ned suggested that they need to start looking for houses to live in, Alexis said there was no need since he could simply move into her penthouse.  Ned refused saying that it wouldn't be a good environment for Brooke Lynn when she came to visit.  Alexis voiced her worries that their ideas of married life were very different.  Ned said not to worry, that he had an idea that would solve everything, but he refused to tell her what it was. 

(Thanks to pre-emptions, I missed the first scenes with Sonny and Carly; so by the time Peter Jennings signed off, Sonny had already comforted Carly and told her not to worry about almost losing Michael.  So this is where I pick up.) 

[Interject by Katrina.  Sonny asked Carly, "What do you mean you lost Michael?"  She then tearfully explained that she'd been at Kelly's and had turned for a second to say something to Tammy and when she looked back, he was gone.  Sonny asked where Leticia was and Carly said she'd given her the time off and she went on to hurriedly apologize saying she knew she should have been watching him more closely, that he could have gotten hit by a car, snatched by some pervert or fallen into the water.  He told her that it must have scared her to death and then held her and comforted her.  Back to Heather. . .] 

Carly admitted to Sonny that it was weird that he could always read her thoughts, while she never knew what was going on inside of his head.  She asked him if he would always be so forgiving if she admitted to lying so soon after hiding something from him.  He refused to answer and told her that she would just have to "study" him further.  Carly asked "for years and years?"  Sonny replied "for decades."   

On the island, Chloe vowed to Stefan that she would beat him at least once at chess before they escaped.  Stefan offered to tutor her and she happily agreed.  Later, Stefan made his move and kissed Chloe as they discussed a chess move.  After a long moment, she gently broke off the kiss and apologized for sending him the wrong signal.  She was still in love with Jax.  Stefan replied that he knew and said that the kiss was not impulsive.  Chloe warned Stefan that the feelings they were having were not real, only side effects of being trapped on the island together.  She asked Stefan if they could always be friends and Stefan said that they would. 

As a song played in the background, we get a look at each of our couples.  Roy and Bobbie danced closely at Luke's.  Luke sat at his bar thinking of Felicia, as she went home with Mac and Maxie.  Taggert draped the jacket over Hannah's shoulders and followed her upstairs as A.J. watched.  Ned and Alexis enjoyed some fireside popcorn.  Chloe and Stefan continued their chess match.  Lucky thought of Liz as he lay in bed, but was interrupted when Liz knocked on his door to return his shirt.  Lucky pulled her into a passionate kiss, but Liz finally but reluctantly broke away and went back to her room.  Sonny and Carly curled up on the couch while they kissed.

AJ was pretending to discuss football plays with Hannah when Taggert arrived at the hospital to pick up some prescriptions for his mother.  He entered the conversation, which quickly became an informed football discussion between he and Hannah, totally leaving out AJ.  As Bobbie and Amy looked on, Amy’s comment was, “Looks like somebody’s definitely off-side.”  As she entered the elevator, Roy exited it to meet Bobbie.  He wondered why AJ couldn’t understand no, unless his daughter was not saying it.  He asked to meet Bobbie later as he felt he needed to address the situation.  AJ finally left and when Roy approached, Taggert took his leave also.  Roy told Hannah it was obvious that AJ did not understand she meant for them to be just friends, and that in order to be kind and clear she might need to appear cruel.  Later, Hannah sat down with AJ at the diner and told him she realized she was probably giving him mixed signals and that his behavior had to stop now.

            Carly panicked at not being able to find Michael and after asking in the diner, ran off.  On the docks she found Michael sitting with Laura, who hadn’t known who he was.  She tried to calm Carly by saying three-year olds were explorers and it happens at least once to each mother, but Carly begged her not to say anything to Sonny, since they had lost a baby, plus once before when Carly had looked away for a second, Michael had been kidnapped.  Just then Sonny arrived and wondered if they were talking about the deal, but Laura covered and said they were talking about motherhood.  After she left, Sonny wondered if Laura had said something since Carly seemed upset.  Later at the penthouse, Sonny told Michael a story.  It was obvious to him that Carly was still distressed and trying to cover it, so after they put Michael to bed, Sonny pressed her about it.  She finally tearfully confessed what had happened.

A flustered Liz fumbled to find the right key to let the towel-covered Lucky into his room.  She voiced her hope that he wasn’t going to make a habit of running around in his towel.  

Emily and Nikolas arrived at the diner, exuberant at successfully pulling off the switch.  Gia walked in after taking the bus, and commented she couldn’t see how it was possible since Em looked so little like Alexis.  Just then, the media burst in, cameras flashing, until they finally realized it wasn’t Ned and Alexis.  After unsuccessfully trying to persuade the couple’s location out of them, the media left, while Em smirked at Gia.  When Lucky came downstairs to ask Tammy for a hammer for hanging pictures, Emily and Nikolas passed on coming up to his room in case they got asked to move furniture.  Emily left to make her curfew, but not before Gia made her usual quota of caustic remarks, including wondering how Nikolas felt with his brother practically living with Liz.  After Emily left, Nikolas explained his position once again and they bantered back and forth about Gia’s lack of contribution in the housekeeping of the cottage.

Liz knocked on Lucky’s door with a painting for his room.  In the midst of hanging it, they wound up kissing.  Just as Liz was about to pull off Lucky’s T-shirt, she pulled back to honor Lucky’s request to wait until he was sure what Helena had or had not done with his head.  It was with difficulty that they parted for the night.  Later, as Lucky lay on his bed, looking at the painting, there was a knock at his window.  It was Liz who had locked herself out.

Ned and Alexis successfully pulled off getting to a hide-away without the media catching them.  Alexis was bemused at the teen clothes she was wearing, but Ned used it to set up the scenario that they were teens at the prom and he sang Only You while they danced and Alexis giggled.  She told him she wasn’t in the habit of going past second base on the first date, so he promised to stop anytime she said.  As they kissed, he asked twice if he should stop and both times Alexis replied, “Not yet.”  They progressed to some serious moves, especially after Alexis suggested, “Let’s forget our parents and just go all the way.”  As they later snuggled in bed, Alexis wondered about getting a church for the wedding.  Ned told her he had booked St. Timothy’s.  She recognized it as the church where Sonny had left Brenda at the altar and Kevin had left Lucy at the altar.  When Ned assured her that he was not planning on the doing the same, she asked, “Then why have you booked us into the church for abandoned brides?”

Next Time: 

-                      AJ insists that Hannah has feelings for him.

-                      Lucky hugs Liz to warm her up.

-                      Alexis suggests Ned just break up with her.

-                      Felicia puts forward the idea that she and Luke impersonate bank inspectors.

-                      Carly tells Sonny she’s been lying to him all night.
