Week 20 -- Part II
Frisco, to Lucy: "Do you have any idea ... what happens to a pretty girl like you in prison?"
Laurelton, the Frisco and Lucy stuff: That crude line aside, Jack Wagner is this week's MVP. It's mostly on the strength of his interactions opposite Lynn Herring, but Jack also has a nice scene with Kimberly McCullough.
Anyway, Frisco's blinders are off after he finds Lucy's spare pair of sexy stockings. Wednesday through Friday is largely devoted to Frisco realizing that Terry and Kevin are on Santa Catalina Island, and along the way, we're presumably seeing a genuine version of Lucy being broken down by repeated questioning.
I still don't believe everything Lucy told Frisco on Wednesday is true, but here's the highlights:
Kevin used to come to the library all the time and talk to Lucy, who said he was the only one who ever seemed to notice her. "He, um, he made me feel attractive."
Lucy claims Kevin was the first man she'd ever been in love with. Her love poetry was her own invention before Kevin folded it into his scheme.
Kevin seduced Lucy, who was a virgin. Hands down, this is the item I disbelieve the most, but it's also worth remembering that in-universe, Lucy is only supposed to be roughly 23 years old.
Kevin and Lucy having sex happened before he married Terry.
Lucy didn't know that Kevin was planning to kill Jennifer, and only found out after it happened. This one's crucial, because if Lucy did know in advance, it would have been a lot tougher to keep her around.
On March 16, Kevin called Lucy late at night (it makes sense; he and the other Brownstone folks spent hours waiting for Jennifer and Terry to show up at the Port Charles Hotel) and told her to wear her racy clothing the next morning at the airport. Lucy was really excited about this, thinking Kevin was going to take her away.
At the airport, Kevin directed Lucy to tell Jennifer that Terry was ill and that Jennifer needed to immediately reach her. Kevin also switched cars with Lucy, who believed she was taking part in a practical joke.
Once Lucy learned about Jennifer's body being found, she panicked and wanted to get away. According to Lucy, Kevin threatened to kill her if she didn't follow his orders. This doesn't jibe with how they interacted on May 1, when Lucy was the confident one and Kevin had anxiety.
Lucy also says she only briefly believed Kevin's murder threat. Kevin claimed he had to kill Jennifer so that he and Lucy would have enough money to go away together. Frisco wonders if Kevin indicated how he was going to get rid of Terry. Lucy assumed it would be with a divorce.
Thursday's episode ends with Frisco busting Lucy when she gets a payphone call from Kevin, and Friday ends with him off to California. I've said it before, but I'm curious how Frisco and Lucy will interact after this storyline ends.
Later this weekend, Sean Swindles the Quartermaines, the lead-up to Sandy Stryker, more fire for Mike's Parentage, and what will turn out to be retroactive Tony-Bobbie shipping.
