* Alex and Mortimer: Concerned with size
---------------------------------------
Alex is at the airport with Cain, waiting for the arrival of the egyptian
jewels. He has a camera, and she carries Carlo in his urn with her. Dr
Mortimer Burn bumps into her, and she goes into a frenzy, until she sees
Dr Burn's face, at which point she passes out. Meanwhile, Cain is taking
pictures, and Tina shows up, to be with him in this adventure.

Later, Alex has recovered, and she writes Dr Burn to invite him for 
dinner, and to look at some statue of Isis that she happens to own.
Dr Mortimer shows up for dinner. Bulge thinks he sees Carlo Hesser. 
Mortimer Burn can't eat oysters, and does not drink alcohol. He brought his 
own food, just like his mama taught him. Alex is coming on to him, but she 
only succeeds in making him nervous. She asks if he is related to the Hesser 
family, and he can only mention some old egyptian family. While Alex assures 
him she is sure they are very nice people, she serves him a glass of 
water (distilled), and they toast. She moves on to more interesting 
information:
 
Alex: -Do you have a large ..er.. staff.. ?
Mortimer: (Turning beet red) -Er that's a rather personal question 
Alex: (who was not finished) - ...around your exhibits

[Well except for noted Mortimer's interruption, she did ask that question
and worded it as written here, with the same slight hesitations.]

Bulge is serving them dinner. Mortimer makes a statement about
how Bulge is very ... Big....you know, compared to some other person he 
mentions who was only 5'4, or 4'5, ... I am not that concerned with size :-)

Mortimer mentions the security around the jewels. she brings up the idea of a 
spring alarm on each piece of jewelry in the exhibit. She asks him about 
his hobbies, and he mentions Ostrich eggs which he slices, dices, and paints.
[Sorry, I got carried away with the dicing part]. Alex express admiration, and
mentions again the spring alarm. she would hate to think of some grubby little
thief putting his hands on Mortimer's jewels, or his eggs for that matter. 
[Well, this one satisfies the bi-cultural double-entendre requirement. :-) ]

Mortimer finally gets to examine the statue of Isis, and recounts the legend
of Isis and Osiris, how Osiris, her husband, died, and how she restored him
to life. Alex compares herself to Isis, and they have a toast (of distilled
water remember) to a lovely evening (he says), and to Isis and Osiris 
(she says).

Later Alex talks to Carlo about the jewels, tina and Cain, and how she 
will make them take the rap for the theft of the jewels. She asks him about 
Dr Mortimer, and she reports that he is shy and timid, but she sensed some 
perception. [Don't ask, I am looking at my notes, and I cannot make sense of
this phrase either. ]
She asks Carlo he he sent Mortimer for her. 

* Tina and Cain's upcoming version of Hudson Hawk:
--------------------------------------------------
	Cain is marveling at the quality of the pictures he got at the
airport. He is also thrilled that he got them in one hour. Tina tells him she 
wants to go along to frame Alex. Later, she goes to talk to Luna at the
radio station, and she gets Luna's advice to stay with Cain so she can
help him stay away from his darker side.

Later, they (T&C) make plans to steal the jewels. Cain plans to have Alex 
locked in the video room as he runs off with the jewels. Tina has
dreams of jewels, but Cain reminds her they will only pretend to steal 
the Jewels. [Hey guys, ever heard of entrapment?]

* Max: still looking for a storyline:
-------------------------------------
	Kevin and Leann are discussing Duke. Kevin calls her a liar, and she
tries to defend herself. Max walks in, and Kevin leaves. Max asks what is
going on. Leann explains to him about Duke. Poor Max. He starts crying, 
Damn it, I had a story line, and I did not look like too much of
a male jerk (like they "only" make them on OLTL". [Just kidding :-) ]
He makes some statement of missing he did not really have, but he does
not insult Leann, and actually offers to help with the finances of the 
trials. She does not answer. (Actually, we do not see her answer in this 
episode.)
Poor Jason is trying to fill out a job application, and he is frustrated
because he does not know what some of the entries to be filled out are for.
Later, they are having a meeting with John Russell still at Wandas.
[We can still hear Max complain that he could have been there, with them, in
the middle of some REAL action for a change... :-) ] Jason tries to mention
the fact that Leann was teaching him to read, but Leann stops him. [Hey 
Jason, can you spell it out for her? S-T-U-P-I-D-. Yeah, I knew you could
do it. ] She tells him later, after John Russel has left, that they had 
a pact of silence about his illiteracy, and she won't break it. 
[She should be more aware that there is no shame for Jason in this story, 
and it would help her case. Of course, another one of those that
has to get really bad and hopeless before it gets better :-) ]

* Asa: Still looking for a true Buchanan
-----------------------------------------
Kevin goes home after his talk to Leann. He talks to Vicky in her kitchen,
and she advises him to not take away Duke from his mother. Kevin
decides to go somewhere where he can get support. He goes to visit Asa. 
Asa gives him gung-ho support, and shows him pictures
of Leann dancing with some guys (These are the pictures he had taken
of Leann when she had gone back to Sweet water after he tried to split her
up from Max, That was the old Max, and it was way before she got
together with Kevin!)
Kevin is not sure he will need these pictures, but Asa insists that it is
not good enough to win. He has to crush his enemy. (something
to that effect anyway.) Oh, he has a thought about Blair who will see
again Max as a fool, after she hears that Duke is not his son.
Finally, he drinks a toast with Kevin, who is turning out to be 
a TRUE BUCHANAN. Yech!

* Andrew: "Ain't nobody's business if I am"
-------------------------------------------
Andrew is trying to get hold of Cassie on the phone. His father walks in. 
They have an argument. His father mentions that Andrew's problem is also 
affecting him. He tells him that his silence is hurting his congregation. 
Andrew gets quite mad, and upset, and leaves. Later he shows up in Vicky's
kitchen. (see VIcky's kitchen).

* Vicky: Let me counsel you in my kitchen:
-------------------------------------------
Vicky first get a visit from Kevin. Kevin talks about the custody fight, 
but She insists that he can't take Duke away from his mother. That noone 
deserves to be separated from their baby. Kevin won't hear it, and decides
to go see Asa. Later Andrew shows up. Vicky gives him full support. She not
only believes that he did not make a pass at Billy, but she also support
his decision to refuse to answer the question of  his sexuality. 
Sloane walks in. Andrew leaves. Sloane has some attack rather. Later he is
feeling better, and he and Vicky have a talk about Andrew. Sloane expresses
that he would like things to be OK between the two of them. Vicky points out
that Sloane has to let Andrew disagree with him without getting upset. 
Sloane was complaining that Andrew was listening to him, and Vicky asked if
Sloane wants Andrew to listen, or to agree? Anyway, Sloan drops the bomb: He
is dying, and would like to set things straight between his son
and himself.

* Luna: Let me counsel you in my radio booth.
---------------------------------------------
Luna has a talk with Leann (I think they are still
at Wanda's but I do not remember the decor...) about Duke, and his father.
Later, she is doing her radio show, and Tina comes in. She mentions Megan,
and shows the feather. Luna tells Tina to listen to Megan when Tina
expresses some doubts at being able to keep Cain away from trouble. Tina 
mentions how the jewels thing appeals to her sense of adventure.
Finally, Max drops by, and declares Luna his best friend. He brought her
a T-shirt, with Serenity Springs on it. She goes on the air, and plays 
"working on the Chain Gang" and dedicates it to
Butch and Frank, at State, in the hog house. She then makes a comment about
school. We see these guys at the "hog house", they pay up "suede", and
ask him how Luna will react when she realizes they are not in College. 
We see the back of their shirt, and the clue as to where they are
is written on them (Some work farm?) I could not read it fast enough, I was
busy taking notes. :-) If someone caught what was on their shirts, please
tell us.

That's it for now.
Later,
