of 5/1.
"I'm Skye, and I'm a Quartermaine."
Skye crashes Alan and Monica's wedding vow renewal at the Q mansion and announces
that she is Alan's daughter. Alan admits that he knew Rae had been pregnant because
Edward (who had been informed by Rae's family) had told him. Alan says Edward
had convinced him that having a baby would ruin his career and had assured him
that the baby would be well taken care of. Alan had then severed his relationship
with Rae. Edward next claims that he was subsequently told by Rae's family that
the baby had died.
Lila welcomes Skye saying, "I understand you're my son's illegitimate
daughter." Alan seconds his mother's welcome and invites both Skye and Rae
to stay at the family mansion. Monica, outraged, cancels the wedding vow renewal.
Skye reveals that she is an alcoholic and she and AJ bond over their shared
alcoholism.
Lucas and the Mystery Virus
Bobbie goes to the hospital leaving Lucas with Roy who is recuperating from
his gunshot wound. Lucas collapses (from the virus Lucky had added to his drink).
Roy tries to help Lucas and is assisted by Melissa, who has come to the Brownstone
to say goodbye to Roy. At the hospital, it becomes apparent that Roy had opened
his wound stitches and Tony sews his stitches again while voicing his disapproval
over Roy being around Lucas.
It was appropriate that Roy's exertion in attending to Lucas would open his
wound stitches since it had been only two days since he was shot. Midway through
Day Two, however, everyone seemed to have forgotten that Roy was shot.
Bobbie tells Melissa to stay away from Roy and Lucas. Melissa defends herself
saying that she had gone to the Brownstone to say goodbye to Roy and found Lucas
in a seizure. Bobbie asks Melissa if she is really going to leave town and Melissa
essentially tells Bobbie that she will do whatever she feels is best for herself.
Tony, on the other hand, is grateful to Melissa for having helped Lucas through
his seizure and apologizes for berating her for losing a file. (Melissa was not
at fault--Bobbie had set her up.) Tony asks Melissa to reconsider her resignation.
Tony tells Bobbie that the lab tests did not show what was wrong with Lucas.
Lucas appears to be getting worse and Roy phones Luke and tells him to come to
the hospital immediately.
When Luke arrives at the hospital, he finds Lucky asking Melissa about Lucas's
condition. Lucky wants to know if Lucas might die, and although Melissa assures
him that Lucas will get better, Lucky remains visibly distressed. Luke notices
Lucky's state and wants to know what is wrong. Lucky avoids Luke's question and
apologizes for having refused to help Luke with Helena's disks.
Outside Lucas's hospital room, Helena watches Lucky as he stares at Lucas with
tears in his eyes. Earlier in the day, Elizabeth had visited Lucky in his darkroom
and was disturbed to find him developing a picture of Helena Cassadine. Lucky
told her that Helena happened to be on the docks while he was taking practice
photos. After Elizabeth left, Lucky pulled out a picture of Lucas from the developing
solution
Emily and Zander
On the morning of Alan and Monica's planned vow renewal, Emily moves back into
the Q mansion, having agreed to stop seeing Zander in exchange for Edward not
pressing charges against Zander for mugging Edward. Ned and AJ conspire and trick
Edward into admitting that he had faked his own mugging and had blackmailed Emily
into severing her relationship with Zander. Once Edward's treachery is exposed
(and while the other Qs are dealing with Skye), Emily rushes to Alexis's penthouse
only to find that Zander has left town. She looks for him at the bus station,
but can't find him. She returns to the Q mansion and packs a suitcase.
Nikolas and Gia
Nikolas accuses Gia of hiding the papers he planned to sign renouncing his
Cassadine heritage. Gia is hurt by Nikolas's lack of trust in her and moves out
of the cottage. Elizabeth runs into Gia in the park. At first, Gia is her usual
snippy self, but then she confides that she and Nikolas had argued and that she
was concerned that Nikolas had lost faith in her. Elizabeth assures her that although
she herself is not fond of Gia, Nikolas cares for her.
Luke and Felicia
While Luke is trying to decipher Helena's CDs, Felicia visits him in his office.
She is upset because Luke has not called her for "two weeks." Throwing
a tantrum, she grabs Luke's laptop, and stomps on it till it breaks. Luke defends
himself saying that he has been distracted and adds that he cannot understand
her outburst. Felicia cites the sacrifices she has made for the sake of their
relationship, and leaves after telling Luke their relationship is over. Luke begins
to go after her, but receives a call from Roy telling him that Lucas is ill and
at the hospital.
The scene where we saw Felicia leave Luke's Club after feeling ignored by Luke
during the Deception party, took place in the April 10 episode. Although it had
been more than two weeks in real time since we had seen Luke with Felicia, only
three story days had passed since the Deception party.
