No, he wasn't mad at any of them. He was actually very distracted and his concern for Nicholas overshot everything he did after that. Tracy won't let this go if Edward won't let it go - we all know that - but Luke isn't seeing Rebecca as a Quartermaine problem, he's seeing it as a Nicholas problem. I didn't mention it in the recaps, but Luke did humourously refer to the Q mansion as "My wife's palatial estate" to Ethan. I don't know if it's intentional, but Luke is really underscoring the point that Tracy has money to Ethan.

Recaps Thursday, March 5th STATS Vets: Tracy, Luke, Monica, Edward Kisses: none Appearance: same as yesterday Other Stories: CarJax talk Michael; Patrick talks to Matt about Robin's PPD and her denial; Robin talks to Ethan about having no children and starts to talk a bit about her parents to him; Max/Sonny talk business; Claudia visits Michael (every week like clockwork apparently, and calls herself Mrs. Quartermaine) and apologizes again, telling him how much he is loved; Carly talks to Sonny about a proceedure that might help Michael; Matt steps up to the plate and finds and expert in PPD who will see Robin AND PPD-Daddies; Luthan at HS, Lulu likes the drink but finds Robin's wallet and quizzes Ethan about Robin; Robin tells Sonny she's working at Mercy FT now, which Patrick overhears and isn't amused by; Carly arrives to visit Michael as Claudia talks to him about the hit. Line of the Day: Sc. 1 - no LuNacy Sc. 2 - Nicholas tells Rebecca the Q's are hard to take. Edward says Tracy is unreasonable treating a stranger so badly. Tracy says it's because she is a stranger and wonders what why two smart, coniving people are so blind to the possibility that there is something off with Rebecca, and are so willing to bring her into Monica's home just becasue she looks like Emily. Nicholas tries to get them all to back off Rebecca and stop projecting their grief over Emily on to her. Tracy wonders why they haven't hired a PI to look into her and Mon/Ed roll their eyes. Tracy continues saying isn't it interesting that someone who looks just like Emily arrived in the one city where Emily used to live and stays here even though there isn't any job left. Monica threatens to throw Tracy out again. Meanwhile Luke watching everything with great interest, especially Rebecca's reaction to all of the bickering. Sc. 3 - Edward tells Rebecca that Emily was the heart of this family and it would help Monica if she stayed here. Tracy tells says they are being played. Edward then walks to Rebecca saying ignore Tracy, they all do. Rebecca says it was a mistake to come there and she leaves with Nicholas hot on her heals. Monica looks even more upset as Edward says that's not the way his surprise was supposed to go. Monica thanks him saying his intentions were good, to which Edward responds the road to hell is paved that way. Tracy walks over to the bar, looking smugly satisfied for the moment and Luke comes to join her with his arms crossed. Without looking at him she says he's uncustomarly silent, which is never a good thing. Doesn't he have anything to say? Luke says "Oh I have plenty to say, just not to you people". Sc. 4 - no Tracy; Luke returns to the HS alone and asks for a drink of Scotch and 'don't get cute'. Luke says to no one in particular that history... time marching on is the problem. He wasn't an unexamined life - Ethan pours him 5 shots and Luke starts telling Ethan about his experience at the Q's, and how he used to hate Nicholas and all the things he wanted to do to the 'spud'. But now Nicholas is hurting and Luke feels he should help Nicholas with advice. Lulu walks in asking if Ethan is getting Luke drunk so he can rob him again? Sc. 5 - no Tracy; Lulu blasts Ethan and Luke tells her to relax. Lulu doesn't understand why Luke is allowing him there, he is a con. Of course he's a con, Luke says, and he's good at it. Luke suddenly realizes Lulu is there to check out Ethan, to which she protests and says she didn't even know Ethan was there. Luke says yes she did, Ethan was here the last time then says he will leave so Lulu can find out more about Ethan. Luke leaves and Luthan square off. Sc. 6 - no LuNacy; Rebecca returns to speak with Monica. Rebecca says she didn't want to leave everything the way it was, especially with Monica just out of the hospital. Becks says she should have left town and Monica says she's glad she stayed. Monica apologizes for Tracy and Rebecca says Tracy was just trying to protect her family, it's totally understandable. Becks goes on to say she could have handled lots of things better, including Nicholas. Monica tells her Nicholas is only trying to help and sort everything else. Rebecca has an interesting smile at Monica's words. Sc. 7 - no Tracy; Luke finds Nicholas on the docks and tells him life doesn't rewind. Then he says the clone - to which Nicholas says the clone? She's Rebecca. Luke says it doesn't matter who she is, what matters is who she isn't. She might have Emily's eyes, but not her heart or soul. And no matter how hard Nicholas wants it, Emily is gone into the cold dark and will not come back. Nicholas knows Luke is telling the truth.

I don't think so. She looked away too easily as she composed herself. Hey, is anyone keeping score? She's almost lost it twice this year already: 1. Lulu and the bedpan 2. Luke's "I love you, Man" And a new nickname: 1. Lambchops We need a spreadsheet to make the Best of TQ 2009 easier next year. So far it looks like we are going to have a whole lot more material than last year, and we always forget the early year stuff.

Hmmmmmmmmmm.... now that's a thought. I did think it odd that Edward gave her a drink, and then Luke immediately gave her another and took the first glass out of her hands. That would be a LuNacy thing to do... and have Luke play the innocent while Tracy was the bad guy. The Q's wouldn't even notice.

Dealing with Edward, Hooked. Luke hasn't been convinced yet, but Tracy has her claws out. Tracy is always ready to do battle with Edward when she sees an interloper because Edward will always turn a blind eye about any other female, yet think the worst of his own daughter. If Edward doesn't check on Rebecily and takes her in lock, stock and barrel, then the potential is there to bring her into ELQ like Edward did with Skye. It's all doom, and Tracy wants to be ahead of the train not trying to catch it after it's left the proverbial station. As for the spoilers... anyone notice that lately when Tracy is mentioned she's on a lot that day, and she's also on a lot more than suspected. I think they will put her into both Rebecca's and Ethan's stories. I can't wait to see what the whole "Ethan learns Tracy is no one's fool" will be about. He thinks he's running everyone around, but Tracy is actually in charge as she figures this boy out and sees a younger, freer Luke before the whole ewcbo debacle/guilt began.

Recaps, Wednesday March 4th STATS Vets: Luke, Tracy, Edward, Monica Kisses: Appearance: black, I like the hair (more bangs today); Other Stories: Nicadine end gently; Robin trying to find anyone else to spend time with than Emma; Patrick frustrated and Liz is his BFF; Win/Spin/Sam/Jason about to start a new Saga of The Jackel - the Federal Prison Edition; Lucky with Cake to see Elizabeth who is finally released; Robin/Ethan meet at HS; Matt finally release and comforts Nadine as she breaks down over Nicolas; Spin hits the road with the Priestess following him Line of the Day: Sc. 1 - no Tracy; Lulu catches Ethan stealing from the stash but he claims otherwise. Just as she's about to call Lucky, Luke walks in and tells her to put down the phone and Ethan to put down the cash (apparently it's a whole new day and Ethan tells Lulu he works there - that he was counting the cash because the books are terrible). Sc. 2 - Ethan claims he isn't stealing and that he learned his lesson. Luke says he didn't learn anything and that he should lock the money and put away the key. A little light banter as Luke explains how he met Ethan and why he'd rather Ethan working for him than against him. Lulu doesn't believe it and Luke apologizes for being away when GH was in crisis and he was needed. Lulu brushes him off saying he would have been there if he could, but she's surprised that Tracy would allow this. "Tracy", Ethan starts, "is one in a million". Lulu looks at Luke while Luke tells Ethan in no uncertain terms that she's "Mrs. Spencer" to him. Ethan gets the message as Luke tells Lulu Tracy was snowed by Ethan from the word "hello". Tracy arrives in time to overhear and says she really resents that, as she stares Luke down. Sc. 3 - "Popsicle, we were just talking about you". Tracy says he called her a sucker. Luke justifies himself saying she has fallen for everything the larcinous boy has said. Tracy tells Ethan he can call her 'Tracy'. LuNacy bicker over Ethan, and Lulu comments that she's obviously back to her argumentative self. Tracy tells Lulu to take to be carefully because smoke inhilation isn't something to play with. Lulu says she'll note that. Then Tracy turns to Luke and tells him his daughter was her rock during the whole disaster at the hospital since he was MIA. Luke nods and says he's fully rebuked, and if they will excuse him he has "people to do and places to see". Tracy grabs his hand and says no, he's coming with her - they have to stratgize. Luke says he's intrigued and they leave with Luke holding her arm close as she talks about something Edward is trying to do. After they leave Ethan turns to Lulu and asks her where she got such a great dad. Lulu isn't amused. Sc. 4 - Edward concerned about Monica as he leads her into the Q living room, saying the hospital is getting fixed faster than originally thought. Monica wonders what he's up to and he tries to assure her he's only concerned about her. Monica isn't that stupid. Then LuNacy walk in and Tracy says it's a terrible idea and she/Luke will not have it. Luke says not to drag him into this. Tracy says they will not allow a freeloader to come into the house. Edward says they've had a freeloader in the house for years - her husband. Luke looks at Edward and says "I love you, Man". Tracy struggles to compose herself as Luke walks over to the bar. (Emmaus pitched a fit, so I missed some of it). There is a knock on the patio door and Edward says the person he was talking about it there. Rebecca walks in and Luke is amazed. The Q's aren't and Tracy did that tight thing with her mouth when she's about to let loose with her opinions. Sc. 5 - no LuNacy; Lulu isn't impressed with Ethan. Ethan tells her his saga and how he got there. Lulu is sure he's working Luke - that her dad is so focused on the fact that Ethan is trying to work her stepmother, that he's missing being worked himself. Lulu continues saying he was in and out of her/Lucky's life over the years and has had his flack for it, but Luke also told her the easiest mark for a con was another con. Ethan summeraizes that she's jealous of him, and Lulu leaves saying they'll see. Sc. 6 - no LuNacy; another shout out to Tracy as Lulu tells Maxie about Ethan and how he already as Tracy wrapped around his finger Sc. 7 - Edward offers water to Rebecca, while Tracy tells Monica/Edward to investigate everything about Rebecca. Monica tells Tracy to back off. As he gives her a glass, Luke tells Rebecca that if she needs any tips on how to fleece 'this gang' he's a walking Encyclopedia. Tracy tells Luke he's on her side. Someone tells Tracy there isn't sides and if Tracy doesn't back off Monica says she will kick both Tracy and Luke out. Luke asks what he did to deserve that threat? Edward tells all of them that until GH is rebuilt Rebecca needs a place to stay and that Kelly's just isn't suitable. Monica tells Tracy to stop coming on so strong, and Tracy points out Edward isn't observing that axim "Oh please Daddy, are Sherman tanks a little strong?" Tracy sizes up the situation - saying a girl who looks like Emily comes to town where Emily's grieving family live and it's not a little suspicious? Monica tells Tracy to back off and Nicholas walks in saying they are all overreacting. Tracy says who asked him and Nicholas says they are all being unfair to Rebecca. Meanwhile Becks looks shellshocked. (Me: the Q's in full force will do that to anyone)

Thanks for the spoilers, Hooked. Hopefully with Tracy being tied to both Lulu and Ethan, when TG/Luke is gone this summer there will be more people for her to play with. Whatever they do over the summer, I hope it's better planned and thought out that 2008 was. The Annals might have to rise again!

More "insider" drops.... Ethan is not another Lucky....but they'll be adversaries from the get-go. He is Robert's son and he'll be paired with LuLu, as rumored. Guza is slathering all over this one for the young viewers. They have no intention of putting up with Tristan again, so Luke is his surrogate parent with Tony onboard. For those who think Scrubs are being broken up, think again. Robin's getting a wayward brother that should bring story for all of 2009 and ABC is hoping to keep Kimberly & Jason T. with their expanded family and the resulting drama. Ethan will be spread across the canvas. Get used to him. His face will be everywhere, TPTB consider him their discount Tom Pelphrey. Dante is off the table for the forseeable. Cheers. And some pretties.... Looks like very happy Tracy - downright amused at times. And LuNacy looks pretty strongly together, and not agreeing with Lucky (poor boy, but he really does need to be slapped around for dropping Sam).

No Tracy - pretty much only Scrubs and Mobbies After doing the dirty, SoClaud gets an earful from Robin/Johnny receptively about ending it, and they decide to recommit (such as it is). Robin still avoiding Emma - Patrick trying to overlook it. Alexis looks into Rebecca as Nicholas shows her he's not just a stalker (he's a body with great abs/guns having dropped that extra flap - gotta love male flesh!) Spixie celebrate Spin's freedom with JaSam, but later Spin overhears JaSam say his only chance of a real life is on the run due to Fed obsessing. Very cute scenes between Sonny/Emma, and Maxie steals the show again by telling Jason the next time she celebrates him (after he kicks her out so he can talk to Spinelli) will be at his Memorial Service. So, TQ tomorrow? Here's hoping.

LOL... thank you. Wow, Ms.Q you weren't kidding about Megaupload and their letters - it took me a bit to figure that out. Professional Organizers, eh? I'll have to look into that. So much of what you see in so called "organizing" books is how to reorganize your junk so you can buy more junk. I'm kind of a slash'n'burn, get-rid-of-clutter, straight line kind of person. My mantra is "do I really want my kids dealing with this after I die?" It keeps me honest because most of the time the answer is "No". Okay.... I knew it was someone's editorializing somewhere along the line. It's in the same vein as "Luke is nothing but a drunken philanderer who ignores his kids and only keeps Tracy for the money". Um.... no he's much more and you really aren't watching the show if that's the best you can do to summarize Luke Spencer. No one in the realm of TPTB would think Luke didn't know Tracy wasn't to be toyed with.

I thought that odd, but I think that was an editorial comment by the person who wrote out the previews on SD not the original because you're right - Luke has always known Tracy is no one's fool. So Nex, darling...luv...sweetie.... could you lighten the clips for me?

Monday, March 2nd No Tracy - no surprise Spinelli arrested then released when AZ was captured. Sonny saves Claudia with Jason's help then they head home and start 'celebrating'. Carly waxes poetic to Olivia/Jax about how frustrating it is to have Sonny's reality in her life. Stalker Nic brought Alexis to Kelly's to watch Rebecca, who says Nic hasn't crossed the line with her - yet. LnL2 not happening. Liz is NOT going home with Lucky. They DIDN'T talk about taking things slowly. They did however talk about discovering themselves alone again and how the hospital roof was just a moment - it didn't mean anything. Perhaps tomorrow?

Dead perhaps, but I'm still monitoring anything interesting.... there isn't anything interesting about LuNacy anywhere. I'm continuing to make furniture and clean/organize. With six people in a 3 bedroom apartment - 5 of whom are actually here a lot of the time - organizing is my #1 skill. The Diva has decided that it's now time to have her girl space, so slowly she's moving out of the 'kid's' room and into a 'girl's' room. The thing is at nighttime she misses her brothers so much she wants to sleep in the same bedroom. Personally... a bedroom (and bed) of my own is something I fantasize about, but my little girl is having trouble being a pre-teen in daylight and a little kid at nighttime. It's sweet actually - it means she's still mine for a little while longer. Lainey, how do I summarize my organizational gift for a CV? This is GOT to count for something. What are the chances of a continuation of Friday? I think it could go either way since Tracy has been on a whole lot more than spoilers/dates might indicate.

Hey everyone, I've been around to check but I haven't posted. Today I had an IKEA delivery, and my hands are sore putting things together. However I have some of the kids toys better organized, so that's a bonus. Tracy this week should be good - playing with one con while calling another on it. Tracy is always right so it will be interesting to see who Rebecca turns out to be. I think Ethan and Rebecca are connected. At least I've seen something to that effect. I don't really care because we have Lulu/Ethan and Rebecca/Lucky making story with/for LuNacy. Tracy's on with Luke and together they are doing something other than fighting about their marriage. I'm just going to sit back and enjoy.

You know what it looked like today - LuNacy returning with they brand new baby boy. I mean really - who sits in the back seat with the new kid instead of in the front of their own car with their husband? Luke is many things but he's never been her chauffeur (at least not without interesting undertones ). Okay - so in the category of too cute, my kids decided I needed a new Webkinz. Remember how they bought be a pink cat and named her Tracy Cat last Mother's Day? I got Lukey (the White Terrier) for my birthday. Since then I have Sam (Siamese cat), Lulu (American Cockerspaniel - Ruah figured the dog's ears looked like Lulu's hair when it's wavy) and for Epiphany I received Lucky (Black Panter). Well today I have been given a lamb with white 'wool' and she's named - Lila Q. Just thought I'd share. BTW the kids do name them with a little help from me. The Diva has Spinelli the Owl.

Thanks Hooked for the spoilers - I think we're safe with LuNacy. Who would they break them up for? This is what we've been waiting for = a story that involves conniving and not fighting over their marriage. Today I certainly got the sense that the players were being played by the Mistress. She's just a little too smug in her benevolence. Lisa, thanks for the pic. I love having them back together. And I love, love, love it when Luke calls her Baby. That's such a non-Tracy term of endearment, but it speaks so well to Mrs. Spencer. Lots of touchage going on once he was out from that ridiculous cell. Don't know if LuNacy will continue on Monday (they have all that ClauSon/ZaCrazy stuff to do), but we'll be seeing more of them soon. knh, don't put too much stock in the 'gravy train' comment. Luke knows better - he was just speaking to Ethan's obvious assumptions. Luke told Tracy he doesn't have anything because they are married and she has everything, as well as when Tracy said he was only around because her money and he looked her straight in the eye and told her she knew that wasn't true, that he loved her and she knew that too. I was really happy to see as much of them as we did. I could have done with more touching and fewer bars, but they are together and the rings are firmly on both of them - the true announcement of the state of the union. All in all a pretty good LuNacy day.

Recaps, Friday February 27th (10th appearance this month, that's 50% of the shows this month) STATS Vets: Luke, Tracy Kisses: one quick kiss immediately after he gets out of the cell Appearance: same as yesterday (I'm waiting for that wonderful smile) Other Stories: SaSon trying to get Claudia back while AZ holds her hostage; CarJax dealing with the reality of the SaSon mob; Spin/Lulu crazy about JoMax and Spin threatens Kate (who's now "Glacial One" and not "Fashionista") while JoMax themselves are liking the arrangement for publicity/money respectively; Line of the Day: Spin to Kate "I will be forced to crash your systems both personally and professionally" (trying to convince Kate to stop the JoMax dating thing) Sc. 1 - Luke telling her Ethan stoled her money but Traacy doesn't believe him. She tells Ethan to leave, but pat's him down at Luke's assistance anyway. All the while Tracy is saying Luke corrupted this 'fine young man' but stops talking as soon as she finds the money in his pocket (ME: Tracy carries that much cash around? Wow.... I need her as my friend!) Then Tracy looks at Luke and says he framed Ethan. Luke looks incredulous. Sc. 2 - Luke asks Tracy why she believes Ethan over Luke. Tracy says he's stolen too many times from her that she'd believe anything. LuNacy argues about it and Ethan (like a lost little boy) yells "Don't fight". Then he sings a sob story to Tracy about how Luke is right - he did steal from her. It started when he was a boy and stoled shiny things. Luke shakes his head not believing that Ethan is 'selling' and Tracy is 'buying', then calls the Sheriff for a shovel. Tracy tells Luke to be quiet and listens to Ethan, acknowledging that it's better to steal then starve. Sc. 3 - Ethan says he takes full responsibility but Luke doesn't buy it, saying Ethan should promise not to steal again. Ethan says he can't - he's got to get by somehow. Tracy is understanding and Luke can't believe she's so gullible. Then Luke tells Tracy he'd known Ethan for two hours and took $500 from him, and tells Ethan he still owes him another $600. Tracy is amused and tells Ethan that he can pay her the money and she will put it against Luke's debt to her - which should take about 1000 years to pay off. Luke says "Sweetheart, we're married. You already have everything I own." Tracy doesn't look amused and asks Luke if he's seeing himself years ago with much more hair. Luke says that hurts. Tracy turns back to listen to Ethan while Luke bangs his head on the cell bars. Sc. 4 - Luke wonders what is going on - she never forgives anyone anything. Tracy says she's making an exception for this fine young man. Luke doesn't believe what he's seeing, and says he doesn't deserve this and Ethan agrees. Luke tells Ethan to be quiet, then speaks to Tracy telling her he really does love her and she knows that. How can she be sure, she asks. Luke says because he always regails his bunkmates in prison with stories of his love for his wonderful wife. Ethan says it's true, he obviously loves you Mrs. Spencer, Ethan says. Luke tells Ethan he doesn't need him but Tracy assures Luke he does, that Ethan is the reason he's not being left in jail. Then Tracy walks off to get the Sheriff while Ethan looks like he's gloating. Sc. 5 - Luke tells Ethan Tracy isn't a patsy, if she's not on to him today she'll figure it out soon enough. Tracy comes back and says Luke's free to go. Luke is happy and get can't out of the cell quickly enough to get to Tracy and kisses her (not passionate, but it's a kiss and she doesn't stop him - face touching). Then Luke pats Ethan down again and finds his flask and die in his jacket pocket. Ethan claims the die as his but Luke say's he'll roll Ethan for them. The roll is "snake-eyes" as Luke takes a drink out of his flask, and Tracy agrees saying they are Luke's die - they are loaded just like he is. Luke grabs Tracy by the arm and says "Come on Baby, lets get out of here", then pulls her towards the door. Tracy goes but asks what will happen to Ethan. Luke says not to worry about him, and Ethan agrees telling Tracy he'll manage. Luke looks at Ethan's face and say "oh, not the puppy dog eyes" then pulls Tracy in front of him and out the door. Sc. 6 - Luke driving says he's amazed at Tracy, that she's turned into a piller of mush. Tracy is sitting in the back seat with Ethan, who is still flattering her. Tracy says she has the perfect sollution, Ethan could be a bartender. Ethan says he's very good at that, which has Luke in agreement - the MC will appreciate him. Tracy says no, he will work at the HS. Luke balks but Tracy explains her thinking. Ethan is attractive, and will draw the women. They squabble about payment with Luke saying Ethan will skim off the till. Ethan says he won't, but Luke doesn't believe him. Tracy tells Luke he doesn't have a choice, Ethan is hired. And if Ethan is half the annoyance to Luke that he is to Tracy, it's a bargan. Luke tries to smile but the smile doesn't go to his eyes. Sc. 7 - no LuNacy

Honestly Luv, they weren't their best but they weren't their worst either. Luke showed real concern when he realized Tracy was sick and had been in danger and he STILL doesn't know she almost died. Tracy wasn't having any of it so he didn't push it, but if there hadn't been bars between them at the moment I think he would have grabbed her to him. It's a two-parter with tomorrow the follow-up to Luke showing Tracy how untrustworthy Ethan is. I'm wondering how they are going to get Tracy to suggest Luke hire the boy that quickly stoled her money, rather than her throwing him right back in jail. I'd watch - especially since our LuNacy needs are so great. But one thing that did stand out for me is how fiercely he told Tracy to look in her purse as he held Ethan's coat. Even behind bars Luke was trying to protect her. He might 'borrow' from his wife, but he certainly wasn't about to let anyone else do it. BTW, I did rewatch and saw the scene I missed (by seconds, it would appear). Luke called her Spanky Buns at least once and was very happy to see her. I think he also called her Gumdrop or something similar when he said the boy's name. And the looks on both of their faces when Ethan called her Mrs. Lucas Spencer was great - that's one name she's never gone by.

He called her "Wife" at one point, but mostly it was Tracy - when he found out she had been sick from the biotoxin he was completely serious. And we all know what it means when he only calls her by her name - honestly and intimacy (although not sexual at the moment...drat). And you're welcome.

Recaps, Thursday February 26th STATS Vets: Luke, Tracy, Edward Kisses: none that I saw Appearance: Looking good - we've seen the mediapic Other Stories: CarJax trying to find their couple mojo; Sonny dealing with regaining his old organization; AZ has Claudia at Kate's; JaSam still looking for ZaCrazy; why is Liz still in the hospital?; more Lucky/Rebecca bonding with Edward being OTT; Line of the Day: Sc. 1 - ? missed it Sc. 2 - ? apparently there was LuNacy, but I missed it Sc. 3 - Tracy arguing with Sheriff about wanting to see an accounting of every cent. Luke saying it's time she showed up and he's surprised it took her so long. Tracy says she was thinking the same thing and if he was looking for her he should have called. Ethan interrupts that they didn't want to inconvenience her (Me: I've been on the phone this whole scene with my bank, so I've probably missed something. I think Luke says he's glad to see her, but I can't swear to it.) Sc. 4 - no LuNacy; Edward happy to see Rebecca and starts saying it's unacceptable for her to work at Kelly's. Sc. 5 - Edward offering the Q home and resources to Rebecca and saying Kelly's isn't acceptable. Rebecca isn't interested. Meanwhile at the jail Tracy is telling Luke what happened and that Jax saved them all. Luke walks away and Tracy wonders why he's so disinterested. Luke says everyone seems okay and if anyone connected to him was in danger someone would have told him. Tracy just stares him down and says his DIL is still in the hospital and Tracy's been released after 24 hours having been exposed to both the biotoxin and the fire, and his daughter never left her side. Luke is shocked and upset but Tracy's having none of it saying it's phony. Luke tells her he does care and Ethan keeps interupting saying Luke talked about her all the time and that he (Ethan) was responsible for Luke being there and not with his family. Tracy is pretty angry and when the Sheriff brings the bill she says she'll cover everything for Ethan but not Luke. Sc. 6 - no Tracy; Ethan says Tracy wouldn't leave him, and Luke says Tracy won't have any problem leaving him to rot. Apparently Ethan played the innocent with Tracy saying Luke lead him astray (so there was Tracy earlier). Ethan says he'll work Tracy and Luke says not to, that Tracy's out of Ethan's league. Then Ethan says he'll go back to the cassino and bail him out, and Luke says no to that as well because Ethan still owes him money. Ethan says they should call it even because he will get Luke out of there. Meanwhile Edward goes to the hospital and blasts Nicholas for scaring Rebecca, saying she will be pulled into the Q fold. Elizabeth and Nicholas are dumbstruck. Sc. 7 - Luke tells Tracy they need to talk, and she says that was quite a bill he ran up. Ethan says it's also his fault but Tracy says not to defend Luke. The Sheriff opens the cell and Tracy says she'll take the young one. Luke still hopes Tracy will change her mind but the Sheriff lets Ethan out and Ethan turns his charm on Tracy, asking if he can call her by her first name. Tracy says if he must, then Ethan says he should be going but Luke grabs him by the jacket and pulls him against the bars. Then he looks at Tracy and tells her to look in her purse. Tracy is confused then Luke tells her again to look in her purse. As she's rummaging through she realizes Ethan has picked her wallet and taken all her money. Then Luke tells her to look through the pockets of the 'one he led astray', and Tracy squares Ethan with one of her looks.

Yes - this is what it's been for me. Maxie's dream yesterday was much like Thanksgiving's Scrubs dream.... didn't count in my Tracy watch. But Tracy was on so much in the first part of February that it's hard to go through an entire week. Personally I can't wait until they are back together tomorrow, but I have been enjoying Tracy mixing it up with others. BTW, kudos for the word-play everyone. I'm not capable of thinking like that, but all of you are quite impressive. What could you do with Tracy Quartermaine-Spencer?

Chin up folks, less than 24 hours until we get LuNacy back. We've had Tracy in an actually story role for a number of weeks - and see, she still can do things without being Lukey's appendage. This is no where near the 5 months we endured last summer. So no Tracy today, however... Rebecca annoyed with stalker-Nic then encounters Sonny and wants his story then enjoys Lucky CarJax bliss drama - talk about what's next Sonny gives Spin a job - later Spin tells Bernie who's starting to look hinkey to me JaSam on AZ's trail - Sam playing every angle she can think of, Jason still a borg Kate encouraged by JoMax save - annoys Lulu by assuming they will continue as the party face of Crimson. Lulu takes one for the gipper, but Spin's not so agreeable. ZaCrazy returns for Claudia

Recaps Tuesday, February 24th The dream is cute - Maxie commenting throughout on how out of character everyone is. Bobbie, Monica and Mac are all playing their part. There's no sisterly love lost between BJ and Carly. Johnny is a complete ass. Luke has been gone for years and Lulu has been raised by Bobbie. Moral of the story is Maxie finally realizes that perhaps the right girl actually did survive. (And hopefully this will be the end of the 4 days of Campells propping every 5 minutes.)

No Tracy today, as assumed....
