With the winds of Hurrican Louise *STILL* blowing, it was a blustery day
for our heros and heroines on Ravenpoint Island /and/ in Llanview, PA. 
With every story line and character about as stable as Element 105,
let's call Thursday, Oct. 15: WALKING ON THIN ICE. 
	There were three-ish story lines today:
	1. Viki/LeeAnn/Duke/Wanda/Sloan
	2. Kevin/Dorian/Asa/Blair/Addie\Cain/Tina
	3. Luna/Max/Suede/Vern

*** New Sneakers for sneaking around *** 
[Due to circumstances beyond my control, I missed the first couple
minutes.]  Viki is in LeeAnn's room with Duke.  Going against the
restraining order, and placing both herself and LeeAnn in danger of THE
WRATH OF KEVIN (gawd-ess, what a scary thought!), Viki has brought the
little bundle-of-joy to LeeAnn.  Viki tells LeeAnn that no one is to
find out about this rendez-vous.  LeeAnn puts a pair of new tennies on
Duke, which she has bought for him.  Viki excuses herself for an hour so
that mother and son can enjoy some quality time together--but, she must
get Duke back before Kevin comes home.  Viki leaves, and lets out a
major-league sigh as she shuts the door behind her.  Entering Wanda's
from the back door, Viki is accosted by Wanda.  Viki explains that she
was upstairs visiting LeeAnn.  Wanda observes that this situation is
rather strange; Viki is the mother of the man who has brought about
Jason's imprisonment, etc.  She points out how close their families have
been in the past, and notes that Kevin is becoming more and more like
Asa every day (rich, mean and lonely--Yeah Wanda!).  She asks Viki to
intervene in helping to shorten Jason's sentence. (Which reminds me;
didn't Jason tell LeeAnn over the phone that he has been in for a month
already???)  She reminds Viki that Jason now has a prison record, and
leaves to get some coffee.  Guess who comes in next?  You're right!
Sloan (the groan-meister, the generalissimo) invites himself, against
Viki's pleas, to an audience with the Queen of Llanview.  Viki reminds
him "We shouldn't talk!" and tells SLaon that she needs some time "to
get a grip."  She is melting away, falling over a cliff, more
euphamisisms.  Sloan observes how Viki is the most honest and loyal
person ho knows.  Viki begins to dispute with him when Bo enters.  (You
may recall that both Bo and Clint think that Viki is with Renee.)  Bo
exclaims what a suprise it is to see Viki.  Viki counters with a lie
that something came up for Renee at the hotel.  Viki says she was just
leaving, and exits without her keys.  Bo and the General share verbal
blows, however polite, regarding Viki and her marriage.  Bo tells Sloan
to stop their relations right now.  Sloan remarks that it sounds like Bo
should have added an "or else."  Sloan finds Viki's keys; he asks Wanda
which way Viki went.  Wanda directs him to LeeAnn's room.  (I don't know
why Wanda didn't offer to take the keys herself??)  Meanwhile, Viki is
with LeeAnn.  It seems that Duke has slept the entire time.  Viki
explains that she must take Duke now.  LeeAnn asks Viki to take Duke's
new shoes with her.  Viki ultimately decides that she can formulate a
"little white lie" as to their origins.  As Viki leaves, Sloan
approaches her in the hall.  He has seen Viki coming out of LeeAnn's
apartment with Duke!  He gives Viki her keys.  Viki implores Sloan to
forget what he has seen here.  Sloan agrees.

*** Two on two (or, three on one) ***
Kevin and Dorian are seated at a table in the Palace dining room.  They
concur that Addie needs to be placed in an institution.  Kevin tells
Dorian that for the first time, she and Asa agree on something.  Enter
Asa; Blair is not to know that he has anything to do with their plan.
Blair joins them, and argues with Dorian about whether or not Addie
would be better off in a "structured environment."  Blair contests that
Addie "stole" Duke; she was merely expressing her delight at the
prospect of a new baby in the family--and confused Duke with 'little
Asa'.  Meanwhile, Cain and Tina are looking on (or, should I say Cain is
looking on--Tina is trying to get Cain to forget Blair for at least a
minute).  They puzzle over what this odd collection of personae could
be doing together.  Dorian presents Blair with a court order.  Asa asks
Dorian, "What have you got there (and he smiles)?"  A court appointed Doctor
will be coming this afternoon to evaluate Addie's condition.  Kevin asks
Asa how he can stand having his home turned into a mental hospital,
placing his family in danger.  Blair asks Asa if he is going to let
Kevin get away with such insolence.  Asa pretends to scold Kevin.  Blair
storms off, and Asa and Kevin "high-five" (I can hardly stand these two
together--YUCK!).  Fortunately for them, Blair enters a minute later.
She has forgotten her purse--and her birthcontrol pills, undoubtably.  Cain
calls for a celebration; he has defeated his enemy!  Tina asks him why
he wouldn't rather celebrate themselves, and their future together.  She
is tired of chasing jewel thieves, and is ready to settle down into a
cottage with a fireplace and a white picket fence.  "Tina, that's
wierd!" Cain replies.  (Alas, so much for old-fashioned romance.)  Cut
to Asa's house.  Addie is singing "Go tell Aunt Rodie" to an imaginary
baby.  Blair tells Addie about the Doctor's impending visit.
Addie MUST be on her best behavior, she likes it here, she likes Asa,
etc.  Blair explains to Addie that she is not pregnant (I KNEW IT!!!!),
to which Addie replies gleefully that this is good news: Asa is not nice
to babies!   (That's my Addie!!!!!!!)
 
*** Magic mirror, I can see Luna, Max, Vern ... ***
Luna is standing on a dock, calling o'er the waves to Max.  Max has
miraculously made it to land and is looking for Luna near the mansion.
He finds Suede inside; Suede explains what has gone down.  Vern is the
killer, and he is looking for Luna.  Max uncuffs the Spazerino, and
helps Suede (who promptly falls) up.  Luna is keeping one step ahead of
Vern.  Feet away, Luna is crouching behind some barrels.  She sends Max
a mental Fax of her present condition.  He reads--a dock, a boat dock??
Meanwhile, Vern is getting closer.  Luna throws something (a rock?) into
the water.  It makes a *blip!*, and Vern looks to see what it was.  "Is
that you?  Or, do you want me to think it's you?"  But, in the meantime,
Luna has gotten away.  Luna finds a boat shack, and as she is running
toward it, her clothes rip on a bush--leaving a clue for her pursuers.
She enters and hides, giving her time to send Max another Fax.  Vern
enters, and looks for Luna.  He feigns leaving.  Max ReFaxs to Luna,
"Bolt the door!"  (The problems of these new fangled
non-peripheral-vision Fax mental Fax machines, I tell ya!)  As she does
so, Vern grabs her from behind, clenching her screams.  YUCKO!!!!

That's the cliff-hanger, folks.  Anxiously awaiting the turnout!
Question to ponder:  How's about Addie meets Marcus Whitehart?  It could
be love at first sight!!!

Happy viewing!
