Birthday: July 14 1959 |
Alice goes to Monica, this time with news of a visitor that Monica won't want to see - Sonny Cornithos. Monica tells her to send him in, and then puts a photo of Emily down. When Sonny gently steps into the study, she tells him that she doesn't want him any where near Emily's funeral. Sonny pays his respects and reminds Monica that he really did love Emily at one time. He says that Jason is walking around in a cloud and needs to go to the funeral. What's more, Sonny says that he thinks that Monica needs Jason, too. "I need the Jason that he was before he was a criminal. I need A.J., I need Alan -- whose heart you broke before it ever got a disease, I need my grandson whom you stole from us…" When she has finished listing all of the ways that Sonny's business has negatively affected her family, she tells him to leave. Sonny simply turns and walks out the door.
At the somber Q house, Alice goes to Monica and announces that she has another visitor. Monica is in no mood, but Skye and Lila come in and admit that they are feeling like orphans after the awful year that they've all had. Monica softens at the sight of the baby and says that she would love to have them join her for the traditional Thanksgiving pizza.
Alice is serving "Mr. Luke" his breakfast and flirting shamelessly. Tracy demands her bloody Mary, and Luke quickly goes from flirting with Alice to flirting with his wife. Just then Logan comes in and demands to know where Luke is keeping Lulu. Luke says that it looks like his daughter has finally wised up and is steering clear of him. Logan says that he and Lulu left things on good terms, so something must be wrong. "When is the last time that any of you laid eyes on her?" Logan insists.
Scott swoops into the Q parlor and plops down in Alan's chair. Tracy screams, but it turns out that Alan isn't there yet. (After Scott stands up and orders black coffee from Alice, Alan appears.) Edward wants to talk about his step-granddaughter (Lulu) and his obligation to protect her from her "worst impulses" -- such as shacking up with Logan. They want Scott to use his position as special prosecutor to have her arrested for something. He won't hear of it, mainly because Lulu is of age. Alice says that Mr. Luke would be really mad at Scott if he had his daughter arrested and Scott suddenly reconsiders.
Nikolas and Emily go to the Q parlor to report that Lulu has disappeared after learning that Logan slept with Maxi on a bet. "Why wait for DNA results, this proves that he's your son," Monica quips to Scott. After Emily and Nik leave, the Q's worry about what's happened to Lulu. Tracy says that it would be nice if "someone" would fly around and take a little "looksie". Alan tells her that's not the way it works in his world. Alice wonders if Lulu went looking for her father and Tracy says that no one knows where he is.
At the Q mansion, Edward, Monica and Scott are telling Lulu why she shouldn't see Logan. Logan calls Scott "pops" and Alan says that Logan has Scott's same smirky facial expression. As Lulu and Logan stand up to leave, Lulu says that she'll just move it with Logan if they won't let her see him. Edward tells Alice to chain her to a chair. Tracy urges Lulu to stay because if Luke finds out that she let her move in with Logan, he'll divorce her. Edward suddenly has a change of heart. He puts Lulu's hand in Logan's and says, "Here ya go dear, take the monkey and run." Scott tells Lulu that she has other options, like Bobbie's brownstone, for example. Logan says that Lulu doesn't need any of them because she has him. They walk out the door and Tracy is furious.
At the Q mansion, Tracy bellows for Alice. Alice comes rushing into the parlor thinking that Tracy is having a mental relapse and offers to call Shady Brooke. Tracy simply wants her to arrange for a quickie DNA test for Scott and Logan. Monica and Edward come into the room and Edward tells Lulu and Logan to scoot apart from each other on the sofa. Monica is looking for her medical journal and no matter how many times Alan tells her that it's in the third drawer, she doesn't seem to have a clue. For some reason they start to talk about all of the interlopers who have finagled their way into the Q family and -- among other things -- Lulu learns that Jason is really Susan Moore's son and Skye was originally thought to be the product of one of Alan's infidelities. Monica wistfully says that if Skye hadn't shown up, Alan would still be here. Alan sadly tells Tracy what to say to Monica, "Tell her not to think that way -- it doesn't help." Tracy obliges and Monica seems touched by her sister-in-law's uncharacteristic tenderness.
After the DNA test, Tracy, Scott, Lulu and Logan go back to the Q house. Edward says that neither of the men are welcome here. Scott reminds him that he's the only reason that Tracy isn't still playing checkers at Shady Brook. Alan asks Tracy if she's planning on keeping Scott around forever. Tracy gets frustrated and tells Alan to stop it. They all comment that she's talking to the chair again. Monica says that she wishes she could see Alan and Alan tells her that he does to. Then Alice suggests that they should put Shady Brook on speed dial.
At the Q mansion, Alice is pouring coffee while Monica urges Edward to bring Tracy back from Shady Brook. She says that ELQ is suffering corporate losses and they need her back. Alice (who has a great new haircut!) tells him to grovel if that's what it takes to get her to come back and help.
Tracy arrives back at the Q mansion and everyone admits that they missed her. She says that things are going to change around here, starting with Lulu's social life. Scott says that the lizard Logan is a manipulator, and he works for a criminal. Lulu tells him that he is Logan's father and Scott doesn't want to hear that again. Logan arrives and asks Lulu to lunch and she says, "Absolutely." Scott and he yell at each other about whether or not they are father and son and finally Logan agrees to take a DNA test to prove to Lulu that he's not lying.
