Busy day in Port Chuck today... shootings, blackouts and confessions abound!

Kelly's - A Safe Place To Eat
=============================
Bobbie and BJ have dinner and visit with Ruby.  Ruby makes it a point to
mention how tubby Bobbie is getting and that she should watch her diet.
Some punks come in to case the joint while chowing down.  Bobbie and BJ
head on over the GH to find Tone-Loc.  After Ruby closes up, the punks return to
rob her.  Bill arrives to help chase the burglars off.  A shot goes off and
hits one of the kids in the neck.  Ruby and Bill dial 911 hoping to get on an
episode of 'Rescue 911'.


GH, Otherwise Known As Sardine-City
===================================
Steve argues with some dim-witted administrator about admitting so many
patients to the hospital.  Of course, this conversation takes places in the
middle of a very busy ER.  Eventually Steve, Tone-Loc and Tommy-Terrific
convince her to shut up and start admitting patients.

Then some ER patient in a wheel chair starts to have a fit.  When Amy tries to
calm him down he swings his arm and hits her in the chest.  She looks like
she's in great pain, but hides the fact from the ER doctors.  Later on, she
notices a magazine in the ER waiting room about the breast implant
controversy.  [so, Amy's going to have a leaky implant after getting hit
in the chest maybe?]

The paramedics bring in the gun-shot victim from Kelly's - sorry couldn't
catch the name he mumbled when the dwa started taking info to admit him.
There's a strange part in this scene... when the paramedics bring the kid
in, Amy goes along to help.  Just as this paramedic is about to leave he
asks her if she's new to GH, and then runs out the door.  It happens so
fast, I had to replay the scene twice.  Maybe it's a new love-interest for Amy.
Anyhow, the kid has a bullet in his neck near his spinal cord and is going fast,
and the DWA doesn't want to admit him because he doesn't have insurance.
Tommy-Terrific and Tone-Loc are in a rage over this one.  It's all up to
Steve to make the decision... they leave you hanging for his decision,
but you know Steve won't turn away a critically injured person.


Trouble's Abrewin' At Q-Central
===============================
Tracy decides she's not going to the newlywed dinner party and hangs out
at Q-central.  Alan and Monica argue about her defending Nikki after being
caught snooping in their bedroom.  Alan goes as far as threatening to move
out.  Monica reminds him SHE owns the house and HER guest may stay as long
as she wants, then storms up to her bedroom.  When Tracy enters the room,
Alan starts calling her a troublemaker and then they start arguing.

Later, after Alan leaves the room, Tracy asks Jennings about the fuse boxes
for the estate (under the premise she's alone with the new baby and the
power goes out).  Jennings tells her where they can be found.
Up in her bedroom, Monica has second thoughts about Nikki snooping in her
bedroom.  After looking at her diary she seems to believe Nikki is innocent.
[why do these people insist on put stuff that they never want people to
find out about in writing?  UGH!]

Alan decides one good turn deserves another and starts snooping in Nikki's
room.  He finds the box of Coma-Man's things in a dresser drawer and peeks
inside.  Spying the book of love poems, he flips though it until he finds
the picture of Monica and Coma-Man.

Alan confronts Monica in their bedroom.  He tries to get her to confess to
hiding something, but she won't do it until he shows her the picture.  She
tries to explain, but he's a bit po'd that she didn't tell him sooner.  She
neglects to tell him that Coma-Man was Dead-Dawn's father, but he guesses
it anyhow.  She confesses to the whole love affair in college, the love-child,
etc., and asks for his forgiveness.  He tells her he's not upset about the
old love affair but he's really mad that she waited so many months to tell
him and that he had to drag it out of her.  She cries and asks forgiveness,
but he walks out of the bedroom.  [I can see Alan's point - Monica was stupid
for not telling him about Coma-Man.  But after everything Alan's done I don't
he should be so hard-nosed about it.]


A Fun Filled Dinner Party At the Gatehouse - NOT!
=================================================
Jenny goes to great lengths to prepare a culinary masterpiece for her first
dinner party... the least 'the boys' could do is enjoy the evening and keep
the conversation away from business, right?  WRONG!  Bluke doesn't even have
his coat off and he and the Nedster are already trading quips.  Then the
Nedster makes a big deal out of the fact that Paul arrived Tracy-less.  The
evening proceeds with some stimulating conversation 'Gee Bluke, I really like
your socks' when Jenny is present, and business when she runs off to the
kitchen.  Eventually Bluke can't take it anymore and runs off to Kelly's
for a burger.  [Good thing too, or else maybe Ruby'd been shot]

As the Aston version of 'And Then There Were None' continues, all electricity
in the gatehouse is turned off, ruining Jenny's roast rack of lamb and
chocolate souffle.  Paul helps cheer Jenny up while the Nedster searches
for the fuse box.  Tracy shows up for dinner as Ned returns with the news
that they're completely out of replacement fuses.  Ned immediately questions
whether Tracy had anything to do with the power failure, but she denies it.

Tracy's all set to whisk Paul away when Jenny decides to whip up something else
for dinner.  When no one is watching, Tracy actually tastes the fondue
and is very surprised at how good it is.  Of course, she doesn't let anyone
know this.  When Jenny finishes putting dinner on the table, she presents
Tracy with a fondue fork, only to find Tracy's hands completely black with
dirt... Tracy tries some lame excuse, but everyone knows she tried to
sabotage the dinner party.
