Okay folds, bear with me, this is my first "professional" update ever.
Suggestions for improvement always welcomed!

The first scene shows Casey in the Alden U. belfry.  His head is bandaged and
he's looking around the scene of all the recent excitement.  Alley runs up the
stairs looking for him.  When she finds him, she asks him why he left the house
and came to the belfry.  He says he's just trying to figure things out, he's
wondering how things happened so fast, that it all seems like a blur to him.
He starts to absorb the fact that his father is dea, but he says he can't
"feel" anything, that he can't cry.  He asks Alley...."Why can't I cry?".

Next, we see Trisha sleeping in a hospital bed.  In her dreams (nightmares?)
she is reliving the gun going off and then Trucker falling off of the belfry
ledge.  She starts to call Trucker's name.  Gwyn wakes her up and tries to
soothe her.  We discover that nothing is wrong with Trisha healthwise, just
a little dehydration.  Gwyn tells Trisha that Trucker is "alright", that he's
in surgery.  Flash to Stacy, Clay, Cooper, Hannah, and Shana in the hospital
waiting room.  The Dr. comes out of the operating room and Stacy asks how
Trucker is.  The doc says that he came through the surgery, but the look on
the doc's face tells another story.  Stacy starts to panic, asking if Trucker
is going to live.  The doc informs us that although they couldn't remove the
bullet in Truckers BRAIN, they were able to fix everything else.  The problem
being that a bullet in the brain *could* cause motor function impairment and
neurological impairment.  In other words, Trucker could be a vegetable when he
wakes up.

Back to Casey and Alley....Alley is trying to convince Casey that he's just
in shock over the whole thing.  Casey's flipping out because his *own* dad
pointed a gun at him, hit him and knocked him unconcious.  He's angry, upset,
and confused.  He doesn't even want to *try* to remember the "professor of art
with a heart" that Alley talks to Casey about.  She tells him about how Giff
helped her through some rough times, even when she was coming on to him big
time.  She tells Casey to remember *that* father, not the one that stopped
taking his medication and became mentally ill.  He's bitter, and says that he's
glad she has such great memories but that its just not worth the bother.  But
Alley (in her pushy way) forces him to remember at least one good thing about
his dad.  He tells a story about a stray dog he used to have and how Giff had
comforted him when the dog "passed away" (Giff's words).  Giff told Casey how
the dog had gone on to a place where he could run and play and that everything
the dog had ever wanted was in this place, etc., etc.  Alley is crying.  At the
end of the story, Casey compares it to the way his dad was acting at the end.
He starts to accept that his dad was sick and that maybe now he was at peace,
that maybe he went to this "wonderful" place Giff had talked about in regards
to his dog.  He starts to cry and Alley comforts him.

Now we're back to the hospital waiting room.  Through a conversation between
Clay and Cooper, it becomes even more apparent to us (the viewers) that Clay
has something very nasty up his sleeve for his mother (and I get the idea,
that somehow Leo Burnell, Ava's beau, is involved).

Stacy is talking to the doc and she tries to convince him to let her in to
see Trucker.  She thinks that if he hears a friend's voice, it might bring him
out of his coma(?).  Stacy reveals to Clay that she feels responsible for not
only Trucker's accident but also Jack's death (can't figure that one out!).

In Trisha's hosp. room, Trisha talks to her mother about seeing Trucker laying
on the ground "all twisted and broken" (yuck!).  She tries to get out of her
hosp. bed to go to him.  Clay comes in ad stops her.  He tells her that
Trucker is okay but Trisha doesn't believe him.  While the doc is contending
with Trisha, Clay fills Gwyn in on the real poop about Trucker.  Trisha is
demanding to see her husband and the doc starts preparing a sedative for her.
She starts to get a little hysterical, but then the sedative hits (and we
change scenes.....)

Stacy pushes her way into Trucker's room even though the doc said no.  She
talks to him and tries to coax him back to them.  No luck.

Back at the Rescott's, Casey is telling Alley that he can't sleep.  Every time
he closes his eyes, he's back in the AU belfry.  Alley tries to joke with him
and keep things light.  It seems to work, but when she tries to leave to go to
bed upstairs, Casey panics at being left alone.  They hyug and Casey thanks her
for helping him.  Things start to get a little passionate (don't they always?)
and we get the general idea that Casey's not gonna have to worry about
sleeping tonight!

The next morning, Clay brings Christopher to visit Trisha in the hospital.
She gets very teary eyed as she tells him about his daddy and how they're
going to be back together as a family again soon.

We see Stacy *still* trying to wake up Trucker (guess she's been at it all
night!).  His eyes start flickering and eventually he opens them.....but as
they open we see that they are kind of crossed and bizarre looking.  UH OH!



P.S. - For those of you who don't watch AMC (I know, *everyone* watches AMC!),
Dinah Lee showed up there at Myrtles boarding house (sent there by Kate).  She
has met Jeremy (didn't seem to like him much)....Jeremy has sensed trouble
surrounding her.  Tuesday's show reveals that Dinah Lee has known Carter since
she was 6 years old (Carter hasn't acknowledged that yet).  Commercials show
Galen telling Dinah Lee that Carter is a violent and dangerous man.  "Dummy
Lee" is saying "Did it ever occur to you that maybe he's just misunderstood?".
Oh brother......


Well it seems as if this post is awful long for a show that only last a half
hour!  Please give me feedback as to how informative or pleasurable my first
update was, okay?!

Thanks and have a happy week!
