- GH opens at Jake’s with Kevin and Mac shooting some pool and knockin’ back some beers. Kevin tries to cheer Mac up by purposely losing some games to him, but Mac sees right through it. Kevin learns that Mac is upset because the Mayor is coming down hard on him. Mac changes the subject, instead wanting to know how his friend has been doing for a while. As they continue to move around the table playing 8-ball, Kevin gives subtle details regarding his relationship with Monica, making sure not to mention her name. He tells Mac how she makes his heart skip a beat, but isn’t sure whether she’s ready for a serious relationship.

- Carly, who was still in her silk robe, began to grow nervous over her dinner date with Nikolas. Why should she be nervous? She's been around Nikolas before; but then again, not like this. Not on a date, at least. Carly was fretting so much, that she didn't hear the doorbell ring. Collecting herself, she hurried to the door, praying that it wasn't Nikolas coming early.

"Why are you still in your bathrobe?" a curious Lulu said as she barged into Carly's living room. Plopping on the couch, Lulu stared at Carly. "What's the matter with you?"

"Lulu, I don't have time to talk shop with you, if that's why you came over. I'm trying to get ready for a date," she said, sighing deeply, looking in the mirror at her make-up.

Perking up at the word 'date', Lulu immediately sprang to her feet. "What date? Who are you going on a date with, Carly, spill it, woman!"

Carly felt her cheeks grow warm at the simple thought of Nikolas asking her out on a date. "Nikolas asked me out to dinner tonight, and I'm not even ready yet. I don't have any idea what to wear."

Raising an eyebrow at Carly, Lulu immediately snatched her hand and led her up the stairs. "Don't worry about a thing, Carly, before you know it, Nikolas will forget all about dinner, and focus on what's for dessert."

"Lulu!" Carly gasped, as she practically ran up the stairs to keep up with her cousin.

- The camera pans around to the happenings at the MetroCourt. David is shown talking on his cell phone to an unknown person. While talking, he notices a woman from across the room laying into the maitre d’ for getting her drink wrong. She threatens to have him fired and orders him away. David tells the person on the phone he’ll call back later. David asks the maitre d’ (who’s been reduced to tears) the name of the woman. David grabs a glass of Gamay Beaujolais and walks over to the table.

“A glass of wine for the beautiful lady?”

The woman looks at him with disgust. She purses her lips and responds, “What do you want?”

He smiles at her, intrigued by her icy greeting. “I couldn’t help but notice you from across the room. I figured that I had a 50/50 shot of getting you to talk to me. 50 it would go well, 50 I’d end up in tears like that piss ant.”

“Well so far it’s going well.”

“The name’s David. David Hayward.” He pauses waiting for her to respond.

“Oh I’m sorry, were you waiting for me to give you mine?” she snaps.

“Yes I was,” he says with a keen interest. “I was hoping you’d be open.”

“My name is Tracy Quartermaine. I’m the CEO of ELQ Industries.”

David smirks at Tracy, then reaches out his hand in friendship. “Nice to meet you Tracy. I work over at GH with your husband.”

“My husband? No, my husband works for me.” Tracy plays his little game a bit more. “You work with my brother Alan and his wife Monica.”

“I don’t think I met Monica yet.”

“It’s nothing special, trust me.”

David and Tracy continue to get to know each other a bit more.

- At the Quartermaine estate, Monica did her best to stay out of Alan's way. His moody behavior towards her just wasn't what she needed. What she needed was to be with someone that obviously makes her feel alive; someone that make her weak in the knees every time she was near him; someone that was obviously Kevin.

Making her way downstairs, she made her way into the study and found that Edward was there, looking over some papers. "Hello, Edward."

"Monica," he said in a dry tone, not at all interested that she came into the room. "As large as this house is, it never ceases to amaze me how loud you and Alan are with your constant, mindless bickering."

Groaning in disgust, Monica rolled her eyes. "Can we please not talk about Alan?"

"Fine with me, I don't want to talk about your petty problems to begin with." Standing up, Edward made his way to the door to leave the study. "Before I forget, a delivery person brought a package for you. It's over there on the desk."

Going to the desk, Monica picked up the small package, eyeing it, curious as to what it could be. "Edward, did the delivery person say who sent it?"

Grunting in annoyance, Edward shrugged. "How should I know who it's from? The delivery man gave it to me, I signed for it, and he left. You'll have to see for yourself who it's from. Do I look like your personal assistant? Get your own damn mail. Now if you'll excuse me, Monica, I have some pressing matters to attend to."

Looking over the package again, she slowly opened it. Inside was a puzzle piece that showed her face and a note. Not sure of what was going on; she carefully read the bold writing.

Monica, you truly are a 'piece' of work.

Monica wasn't sure if this was some little prank or if the note was to be some form of a threat; all she did know was that it had her greatly concerned.
