"Oopsy Daisy?"

Back at the Q mansion Tracy doesn't want to delve into her sex life with her brother, but if that's what it takes to prove that Alan is truly haunting her, she asks him Monica's question anyway. Alan tells her "Oopsy Daisy." Tracy seems grossed out at the term while Luke, Edward and Monica think she's stalling. Finally she says, "Oopsy Daisy" and Monica gasps. Luke wants to know what that means and Edward doesn't. Monica asks how Tracy could have listened outside her bedroom door all those years. She tells her to let Alan rest in peace and then leaves in a huff. Edward tells his daughter that she needs to see a shrink. She agrees because the connotations of a sex position called "oopsy daisy" are permanently seared in her brain.

After Edward has left the Q study in frustration, Luke says he thinks he should go too. Tracy begs him to stay. She says that she never believed in ghosts because she doesn't believe in guilt. She tells him if the price of forging his will means that Alan will stick around, so be it. Then she turns to Alan and tells him that she loves him and hates that he is dead. She goes on to explain that there's a part of her that is glad he's still around. Then she tells Luke that he's greedy and unreliable, but he "gets her" and is probably the best thing that ever happened to her. She says that she can't choose between her and her brother. "Holy mackerel, you really love him!" Alan says. Luke says that he hit the jackpot when he married her in more ways than one and that he's not leaving. At least not permanently. Alan says that he can't believe that Tract really loves Luke and that's more punishment than he could ever inflict. So he bids her a good night. Tracy tells Luke that they are blessedly alone for the night anyway. Luke tells her that they should figure out what it is that makes some body say "oopsy daisy."

The Play Date Ends Abruptly.

Luke and Tracy are getting hot and heavy on the sofa in the Q study and Alan "floats" in. Tracy screams at him and Luke tells her that she has got to get her guilty conscience under control. She reminds him that she has no conscience. Then she tells Alan that if she agrees to confess to altering the will with the help of Luke, will he go away? Luke starts to protest any such confession, but he's interrupted by a jubilant Edward who comes rushing in with a tape recorder in his hand. Edward tells Tracy that he won't use her taped admission if she agrees to give him ELQ stock. They bicker over the percentage and finally agree on 45%. Edward hands over the tape and skips out of the study. Luke is turned on by Spanky's ability to wheel and deal and as they start to kiss, Alan makes lightening strike. Tracy continues her debate with her invisible brother and Luke decides to pour himself a drink rather than attempt romance for the moment.

Maxi Sheds Some Light.

In the Q study, Alan and Tracy continue their ghostly dialogue. She tells him that she did him a favor by altering his will because he left his money to the unborn children of Jason! She contends that Jason is a thug and gold diggers are his taste in women - just like his Uncle Alan. Just then, thunder booms and a bolt of lightening flashes and Alan smugly says, "I wish I could do that when I was alive." Tracy threatens to get some garlic and holy water if he won't leave. Alan says that he's a ghost, not a vampire. Alice has entered the room to announce that Jax has arrived to see her, and she and Jax have witnessed the entire (one-sided) conversation. Jax has come to the Q house for a meeting that Alan has called.

Skye arrives in the study followed by Dillon, Monica and Edward. Monica announces that she and Edward are contesting the validity of Alan's will. Jax speaks as Michael's trustee and says that Michael's interests are well served, so he has no problems with the will as it is. They all argue over whether or not to fight the will and Alan is contributing little barbs, only no one but Tracy hears them. Skye says that she might just question the will herself "if only to drag you hyenas to court." Alan proudly says, "That's my girl!" Everyone leaves, but Dillon hangs back in the doorway to hear his mother continue her argument with Alan. Finally, he says, "Mom, Uncle Alan is dead." Tracy tells her son that she knows her brother is dead. Then, as Dillon starts to sit in the chair, Tracy stops him. Dillon figures out that Tracy thinks Alan is sitting in the chair because she has a guilty conscience! Dillon says that if this gets out, she could lose her CEO title at ELQ.

Lulu Stumps Jason.

Tracy goes rushing into the Q study to pour herself a stiff drink. Before she can take a sip, Alan's ghost starts to speak to her from the chair. She admits that she tampered with his will and as she talks to him, Luke comes in for a drink too. He tells her to stop talking to the furniture. Alan says that he's perfectly welcome to haunt his own house, and Tracy reminds him that it's Monica's house. "I gave it to her," Alan says for the millionth time. Then he admits that he has tried haunting his widow but she can't hear him. Just then, Edward and Monica come in to corner Tracy and tell her they are planning to protest the will. Tracy keeps talking to Alan with things like "Shut up!" and her comments only enrage the family more. Luke snuggles up to Spanky Buns and says that she wields power very beautifully (they snuggle nose to nose in a sexy way and Alan says he doesn't want to "go there"). Monica explains that she failed Alan in life, and she won't fail him in death. As Monica (and Edward) turns to leave, Alan thanks her for her loyalty, but only Tracy can hear it.

Luke and Tracy (and Alan) are still in the Q study when Alice announces that Sam McCall has arrived. She comes marching in and tells Tracy to back off! Tracy pushes Luke out of the room so she can deal with Sam alone. Sam tells Tracy that if she ever sends her a picture of Angela Monroe again�Tracy says that somebody else must know her secret because she didn't do it. After Sam leaves, Alan asks Tracy what she's bribing Sam with. Luke hears Tracy yelling at the chair again so he comes in and tells her that he needs to get out of town if she's going to confess to altering the will. He shakily chugs a drink as Tracy continues to argue with "the chair."

And Molly Goes To....

"Shame Tracy…you should be ashamed of yourself," Alan chastises his sister while "sitting" in a chair in the Q study. Luke doesn't know who in the heck Spanky Buns is talking to. He curiously watches as his wife's has what looks to him like a one-sided conversation. Alan tells Tracy that he saw the whole fiasco at his will reading. Tracy can't believe her eyes, so Alan suggests that maybe he should put a white sheet over his head and go "wooo, wooo". Luke tells Tracy that she should go lie down and she does. After a while, she comes back into the study and pours herself a drink. Alan pops back into the chair and announces that he is "haunting" her. She tells him that he is faking his death, but he tells her that he can't get his "entry permit" to the afterlife until she admits that she has tampered with his will. Alice comes in and Tracy demands that the place be fumigated.

Q's Jaws Drop.

The Q family is gathering in the study, including Luke, Jax and Scotty. Luke whispers in Spanky Buns' ear that everything is taken care of. No one can figure out why Jax and Scott have been invited to attend. Monica says that she's not in the mood for a scene, so let him stay.
The lawyer begins to read:

*A generous amount to the La Mesa Wellness Community for breast cancer research.

*Alice gets $75,000. (Jax rushes over to shake her hand.)

*Luke gets $250, 000 for putting up with Tracy. (Luke acts deeply touched.)

At this point, Ned wonders out loud if Alan was of sound mind when he last amended the will. The lawyer proceeds:

*There is to be an inheritance in trust for Michael Corinthos III, but since Alan didn't trust his parents, he named Jasper Jax as the trustee.

*Ned gets Alan's box seats at Wimbledon as long as he never shares them with Monica. (Ned and Monica had an affair many, many years ago, so this is a funny jab.)

*Dillon gets all of Alan's home movies because if anyone can edit them into something interesting, he can.

*Skye gets Lila's ruby earrings because she doesn’t need money now that she's with Lorenzo.

*Jason gets Alan's engraved signet ring even if he never wants to wear it. He can pass it on to own son. And since he is gainfully employed as a gangster he doesn't get any money either.

*Monica gets all of his personal goods since words would never express his love anyway.

*Edward is to receive Alan's medical diploma in hopes that it will finally fill him with pride.

*Emily will get Lila's diamond necklace and no money since she is to marry the Cassidine heir.

*And finally, Alan bequeaths the rest of his estate, valuable funds and ELQ stock to his sister Tracy.

The lawyer has finished reading the will and Edward declares that it is a fake! Monica agrees because Alan would have never cut Emily out of his will. Skye points out that Tracy made out pretty well. Dillon compliments his mother for a sneaky job well done. Tracy tries to divert the attention by saying that Alice could have had a hand in it. As they bicker, Emily demands that they respect her dad's wishes. She insists that he knew that she, Jason and Skye don't need money and Tracy has been wanted his respect all of her life. "Let it rest," she orders and leaves.
They all calm down, but Luke tells Monica at least she got to keep the house. As they leave the room, Edward and Monica tell Tracy that they can't believe she and Luke deprived Alan of his last wishes. On his way out, Ned says that he'll reserve judgment because he chooses to believe that his mother could never have done such a thing. Dillon says, "Good role model, mom" and splits. Luke and Tracy are finally alone. Luke pulls her into his arms and tells her she's a big winner "ELQ stock or not". Over his shoulder, Tracy's face looks like she sees a ghost. And, she does! Alan is grinning from ear to ear, telling her to be ashamed of herself.

The Service at "Monica's House."

Monica is alone in the study once again. She's remembering some special times with her husband. His proposal….their lovemaking…when she had breast cancer…trying times in the operating room…Lila's love for her son… when Edward suffered a heart attack….quarreling with Tracy… when Emily was sick…when Michael came to live with them...before Jason's accident…when Alan played the silly bear during the nurse's ball. During all of Monica's memories, Jason is sitting quietly behind her for support. She kisses him and leaves Jason alone with his memories. Jason recalls a conversation in which Alan told him "…A.J. will never earn my love and no matter how hard you try, you'll never destroy it." Jason is sad as he recalls this and simply says to his father's memory "I know."
