Hi, everyone! Well, I'm back from vacation :-(. I did remember
to set my VCR for Friday's show. I missed the rest of the week
and haven't had a chance to read everyone's updates, so if there
is something you want to add, feel free....

Working on a Chain Gang
=======================
Looks like Suede's prison guard has tracked him down to Llanview.
The guard goes to Roadie's (just missing another verbal exchange
between Max and Suede -- whereby Suede repays Roadie the $20 he
owes her and promises Max that he pays his debts back no matter
how long it takes). The Guard shows Roadie a pic of Suede but she
doesn't admit to knowing Suede; a showing of the pic to others in
the bar turns up a big zero until Marty comes by. She's of legal
drinking age, she tells Roadie; then sees the Guard. When she sees
the pic she admits to knowing Suede, tells about Suede's big crush
on Luna, how Suede roughed her (Marty) up, and is totally
flabbergasted when she teases that the Guard acts like Suede
murdered someone and the Guard tells her it's true.

Max comes back to retrieve some papers he's misplaced. Marty tells
Max about Mr. Jailer and that Suede is a murderer. Max high-tails
it back to Serenity Spas where Suede has gone to see Luna. He
(Suede) startles her and she wonders why he's still in Llanview. He says
he has something to give her -- she can't imagine what it is since
he has already given her back her good luck crystal [this is
probably in one of the updates that I have yet to read, but just
in case: how did Suede explain this?] Turns out Suede is giving
Luna the lyrics to the songs he has written. She teases him about
writing the songs for other girls he knew, but he is not amused and
insists he wrote them all for her -- even before he knew her. She
finally manages to get Suede to promise to have dinner with her
before he leaves town. She goes off to finish her work and Suede
goes outside where he watches as Mr. Jailer arrives. Suede has
the flashback of when the Jailer tried to get him to quit playing
his harmonica and they end up fighting; Suede getting cut on the
arm and the Guard on the face. Suede is one ticked dude....

Meanwhile, Max makes his way to the Spas and finds the Guard
(whose name is Jim Burns). Max asked him if it's true Suede killed
someone. Yep, says, Mr. Guard -- Suede (aka Charles Pruett) murdered
his wife! And as this startling revelation comes to light, Luna is
out at her car, getting ready to get in. Suede comes bounding into
the convertible, grabs Luna, and tells her to start the engine...

Working on the "Exchange" Gang
==============================
Looks like Alex is full steam ahead with her plan to transform
Morty into Carlo. The show opens with Bulge snoring loudly on
her couch, a newspaper over his face. Alex tells Morty to try his
speech impersonation out. Morty goes behind the couch and reads
a script that begins with "you laid a hand on my wife" sounding
very much like Carlo. Mr. Bulger (as Morty calls him) jumps up,
insisting to The Boss that he never laid a hand on Alex! Bulge is
completely fooled. Alex is pleased, but tells Morty they need
to work on his attitude now. She hands him another script that
begins with "Take me you animal". Morty takes a few moments to get
into the spirit of things, but when he does a fairly decent job,
Alex kisses him passionately resulting in a ferocious sneeze from
Morty!

Alex then asks the Professor to find a chef to help teach Morty
to cook like Carlo used to. She also needs to teach Morty how to
choose wine and learn to dance. Morty decides it's time to leave
'cause Momma will be having heart palpitations since he's been
gone so long. Alex seductively tells him that his Mother isn't the
only woman having palpitations over him. She tells him that Carlo
never wore bow ties because they were too constrictive and proceeds
to remove Morty's, somehow managing to get her fingers in between
the buttons of his shirt and then discovers that Morty is
ticklish! On beknownst to Alex, a strange woman has entered the room
and demands that Alex "get her paws off the merchandise". Mrs.
Morty's Mom has arrived.......[who is this woman? she looked
familiar]

Working on Changing Viewpoints
==============================
Before Luna got herself into all sorts of trouble, she had stopped
at the jail to comfort Lee Ann. She tells Lee Ann that her friends
(Wanda, Luna, Renee, etc.) have hired John Russell to defend
her (one moment please: I like John Russell, I'm glad to hear
he'll be coming back BUT wasn't he the lawyer Lee Ann had when
she lost her baby?!) Lee Ann is very bitter and tells Luna that
Kevin not only stole her baby: he stole her faith and hope.

Meanwhile, Kevin is looking at a newspaper article about Lee Ann's
and Jason's arrest. Hank arrives and asks Kevin if he's satisfied
now. Kevin tries to defend his actions, but Hank very bluntly tells
Kevin he hates this case and before he proceeds any further he
wants to make sure Kevin is ready to put the mother of his child
behind bars. He wants Kevin to talk to Lee Ann. When Kevin agrees,
Hank tells him that maybe Rachel is right about him after all.
Kevin's ears perk up and asks what Rachel has been saying.

Then Hank gets Lee Ann to agree to talk to Kevin. In the cell,
she tells Kevin she doesn't really want to be there but Hank
persuaded her. She asks Kevin if he wants to dig the knife in
deeper and tells an unknowing Kevin about Asa's visit [I missed
this episode, but I could vividly pictures Asa's enjoyment. This
whole scene with Kevin and Lee Ann was really sad] Lee Ann asks
Kevin when he got such a soft heart when it becomes apparent he's
upset about Asa's visit. Both accuse each other of lying and
hurting the other. Lee Ann tells Kevin she is very sorry their son
has to pay the price for Kevin hating her so much. Kevin very
poignantly tells Lee Ann that Duke has changed a lot and resembles
Lee Ann. She tells him it's to early to tell something like
that, but Kevin insists. He tells her that he couldn't hate her
so much if he hadn't loved her so much. Lee Ann tells Kevin she
loved him, too and when Kevin protests, she tells him that Duke
is the proof of that love. Kevin starts to say something about
"Asa says..." But Lee Ann interrupts and tells him that Asa only
knows about power and greed; he knows nothing about love. She tells
Kevin that they will be connected forever because of the baby. She
is nervously fiddling with some ring on her finger [she took it
off her ring finger on the right hand. Was this her wedding ring 
from Kevin?] Lee Ann takes Kevin's hand and sadly tells him that
if he understands anything she said then he'll forgive her.
She gets up to leave; leaving the ring behind on the table.

Hank returns and asks Kevin if he's okay, noticing that Kevin is
a bit shaken. He wants to know what Kevin has decided. Hank again
tells him how much he hates this case and will back off if Kevin
tells him to drop the charges. Kevin mumbles to let Lee Ann go.
Hank doesn't quite make out what he says and Kevin repeats himself.
Hank is very happy and starts to leave; but Kevin stops him and
tells him that Lee Ann can go but he wants Jason prosecuted to
the full extent of the law....

Have a great week, everyone!
