Greetings, soapers.  Well, the country club dining room got a workout today...
less set changes for the crew...hope I can keep all the comings and goings
straight...

Sloan Escapes Death
--------------------
The ambulance got Sloan to the hospital in time...time enough for he and
Andrew to continue with their fighting over principle.  Doc Larry wants to
know why Vicki is so involved with the general, and she says it was just an
extension of Andrew being so involved with Megan and her death. [Time to buy
a vowel, Vicki; everyone else has!]  Doc Larry says Sloan's condition is
"irreversible," but sometimes a good attitude can provide relief. [Ed. note-
Nancy Jennings suggests in another post that Sloan may have AIDS---I have
thought this too.  I agree that is why they haven't said exactly what it is
that he is dying from (and "irreversible" should be a clue)--it would play
right into the story that even very 'straight" people can get the disease.]
Vicki again tells Andrew to try and make peace with his father, and go to the
source of the rumors--after Andrew tells Vicki he is sure the source is Marti.

Suede Escapes from Prison
=========================
Jason proudly reads a news article about Reba McIntyre to Luna & Leeann as the
camera closes in on the back page article about a convicted wife murderer who
has escaped from prison.  The scene then shifts to a coffee shop, where we see
Suede reading the article to himself.  He pulls out a picture of Luna and says
"Soon"...A bit later, Luna is doing her radio show, and Suede walks in the
radio booth [can just ANYONE walk in a radio booth, I ask??]  After some
chit-chat, Luna realizes who he is; her soul mate from North Carolina.  Luna
says she can tell he is out of work and and has no place to live, but can tell
from his "aura" that he has good energy, and good things will come to him.
[Aura alert!!!  Luna, it's time to have your psychic equipment in for a major
tune-up!!]  She offers him a job at Serenity Springs---he says he knows a lot
about "hard labor"...

At the Country Club
===================
Cassie is having flashes of Andrew saying he loves her; she is feeling lonely.
Dorian enters, in typical unsymathetic Dorian style, "first Beau, now Andrew"-
like Cassie had a choice in these messes!!  In the background, we see Billy and
his mother enter the dining room.  Andrew enters and goes to Cassie's table.
An "official" of the country club comes over to Andrew and tells him he must
leave--his membership has been revoked!  Andrew leaves.  Cassie muddles a
moment, then says she is a coward, and runs out [after Andrew?].  Back at
Billy's table, his mom is trying to be very understanding, and he can tell
her anything that is bothering him.  She then relates a story of how she
stole a makeup case as a young girl.  She is moving along fine, until she
tells Billy you can tell "US" anything---and Billy goes ballistic over his
Dad even being mentioned--he splits to the community center, where...

At the Community Center
=======================
Joey and Rachel (is that her name??? Hank's daughter) are repairing a broken
window.  Rachel is pumping Joey for information about Kevin [I predicted this
match!!!] Kevin enters, and starts bossing Joey around.  Kevin says Rachel
can ask him anything--and she asks why he keeps his nice side in such a bad
attitude...Kevin wants Joey to stay clear of Billy--Joey blows him off.  Marti
shows up, spewing sarcastic remarks to everyone.  Then Billy shows up (after
the encounter with his mother).  The others leave, and Marti tells Billy she
has the answer to their problems, and pulls out a bottle of vodka. She suggests
they play "truth or dare"  -- tell the truth to the question asked, or you
have to take a slug of vodka.  Billy asks Marti if she has ever been in love--
and he guesses Andrew.  Marti then asks Billy the same question---then asks
"who was the lucky guy?"  Billy chugs rather than answer.  Marti keeps it up,
asking how long he has known he was gay...Billy chugs.  When Billy asks Marti
if she is the one who started all the rumors about Andrew, Marti says this is
a boring game...

At Andrew's Place
=================
Andrew is having a dream which includes a seductive Cassie, a towel-wrapped
Marti, and a vision of shooting his father in the same manner Andrew and Jake
shot the general during their escape.  He is awakened by the bishop, who
tells him he is in big trouble.  The bishop says he understands what Andrew
is doing, but Andrew is to put his conscience in "cold storage" or the bishop
will personally kick him out of the parish.

And Back at the Country Club
============================
Jason is now a waiter at the CC, and has the unfortunate duty of waiting on
Kevin, who is very obnoxious and rude to him.  Vicki and Kevin go round again
about custody of the baby.  Dorian is still hanging around, and Jason tells
her about LeeAnn teaching him how to read---Dorian said she knew, but wanted
to protect his pride, so she didn't tell him she knew.  Dorian then goes and
talks to Vicki.  Vicki congratulates Dorian on not dragging the Andrew story
over the front pages of the Intruder...Dorian says you just gave me an idea...

That's all, folks.  Fill in where you want!!
