Love Is An Illusion!

At the Quartermaine's Alice, Edward and Monica are plotting against Tracy. Tracy arrives and angrily yells at Monica about changing meeting dates and times. She turns to Edward and says he would have seen what Monica was doing if he wasn't meddling in ELQ business. Then, she turns on Alice and tells her to do her job – which includes fresh ice on the bar. Alice runs to do her bidding. Monica and Edward hurry away. Alan appears and says life without Luke is bleak. She says she is moving on – without Luke! He tells her to go to Luke but she refuses. Later, Luke arrives and Edward asks him to move back in! Luke wonders what is going on. Edward says he was talking with Monica and Alice and they all think this is the right thing to do for Tracy; Luke asks what is really going on. "My daughter is a horrible, wretched woman and losing you has put this on a whole other level," Edward says and offers Luke anything he wants just as long as he makes up with Tracy. Tracy walks in and says she will have Luke arrested! She calls Edward senile and says she doesn't love Luke and is tired of being the back-up wife. Luke is about to leave when Monica, Edward and Alice walk in and beg him to stay. They make Luke comfortable, annoying Tracy. "This could work for you, Wife," Luke says, "because misery loves company!" Alice gives Luke a pedicure and places Edward's slippers on Luke's feet. Edward starts to object but Luke mentions returning to the Haunted Star and he backs off. Luke requests lobster for dinner and Alice hurries to the kitchen. Tracy returns and calls to have the Q jet prepared for a trip to the Dominican Republic – and a quickie divorce!

If Robin Flapped Her Wings In China...

A couple months later, the tension between Dr. Scorpio and Dr. Drake has escalated. Alan approaches the nurses' desk and introduces the new neurosurgeon, Dr. Matt Hunter. Patrick is prickly about not being included in the decision and Matt dumps the news on him that he is his half-brother.

Two Women, Two Children and a Bunch of Russians.

Tracy is at the Quartermaine bar swigging single malt scotch. Alan appears momentarily and reminds her that she still loves Luke. He disappears as Lulu, Monica, Edward and Alice enter the room. Monica says that she's the Chief-of-Staff now and can't have Tracy and Luke's bickering interfere with her sleep. Tracy announces that Luke doesn't live there anymore, but he appears through the terrace door anyway. He plops down on a massage table in front of Alice and enjoys a deep-tissue massage as the family argues over who is welcome and who isn't. Lulu is, Luke isn't. Luke asks Alice to clear the room so he can speak with his wife.

On Death Row?

Ric and Scott are in the courtroom, along with Johnny, during the jury selection process. Epiphany is among the potential jurors and promises her complete objectivity. She is selected by both the prosecution as well as the defense. When Edward is called, he states his belief that he could never be a juror in this case because it would be a financial hardship on his family if he missed work. Scott objects and the court makes him admit that he made 100 million dollars in interest last year. Edward adds that he's biased against Johnny anyway. Scott accepts him unto the jury and Ric whispers to Johnny that Edward isn't likely to hurt Lulu by putting him away so they won't object. Before long, Tracy arrives in the courtroom and gets a good laugh when she sees her father on the jury. Alan pops up next to her and they agree how delicious it is to see the old man trapped among ordinary folks day after day. Tracy adds that Edward already thinks that Johnny is guilty, so at least he's good for something.

No Room at the Inn.

Johnny and Lulu happily wake up together in her room at the Quartermaine house. Their bliss doesn't last for long because Tracy barges in to announce her arrival home. She's followed by Edward and Alice (and Alan!). In no uncertain terms she tells Lulu that Johnny is not to sleep in her bed ever again!

Edward, Alice and Tracy (and Alan!) wait down in the study for Lulu and Johnny to get dressed. Alan tells Tracy to lighten up on the kids and Alice wants to know why Tracy came back from Europe so soon and left Mr. Luke behind. Tracy says she didn't want to go on another pub crawl so she came back ahead of him. Lulu and Johnny finally come downstairs and Lulu informs everyone that she is an adult. Johnny apologizes for staying without their approval, but says that he and Lulu will be together and if it can't be there they'll go elsewhere. Lulu proudly leaves with him.

Harsh Realities.

Over the Q house, Edward is pacing while Tracy insists they don't call Monica and tell her about Michael. She agrees to call the hospital again, however, to see if there's any change in Michael. She sends Edward out to walk in the rose garden and promises to let him know what she finds out. The second he's gone Alan appears and tells Tracy that she's calling Claudia Zacchara instead. He tells Tracy to support Monica and Edward instead of worrying about what woman her husband is with.

Coop's Dead.

At the hospital, Monica takes a swig of her flask and then is confronted by Tracy and a legal beagle. He serves her with a court order and Tracy clarifies that she is being sued for malpractice. As Monica starts to justify her position for freezing during Luke's surgery, Alan shows up behind Tracy and tries to talk her out of it. Monica contends that Tracy is just mad at Luke for taking off. She slaps Tracy and then gets in the elevator to leave. Tracy follows her and their cat fight continues as the door closes.

Luke even sings "His Way."

At the hospital, Luke wakes up from a nap to find Skye sitting with him. She tells him that she'll be waiting for him when his surgery is over, but Tracy comes in and throws her out. Luke tells Tracy that she's being selfish and mean-spirited so that can only mean one thing - her conscience will kick in no time. Just then, Alan appears right on cue. He talks to her about how much she needs to hear the Christmas story tonight because she has forgotten how to be generous of spirit. Lulu arrives, so Alan stops taking. Luke tells Tracy and Lulu that he wants a "Viking funeral". He says that he wants to be laid in a row boat, set aflame and then pushed out into the harbor. Tracy quips that wouldn't be any fun unless he was alive. Luke chuckles and then says he wants to be cremated and then everyone can have a drink on him and listen to Sinatra music. Bobbie comes in and tells them that it's time for surgery.

"And the Angle said to them 'fear not for unto you is born this day in the city of David…" Alan reads to Tracy as she waits in Luke's room. She wants him to stop, but he reads on. Finally Dillon comes in and she is thrilled to see him. She gives into her fear and hugs her son and Alan tells her "Merry Christmas."
