Week 15, Part II
Sean, unconcerned about Alan's jealous violence: "Well, you know me. I love living on the edge."
Monica: "Well then, you just better keep your eye on the ceiling, Sean, because it has a tendency to fall in when Alan gets mad."
Sean Swindles the Quartermaines: Oh, sure, now Jimmy Lee and Edward start to realize they might have been suckered into acquiring Donely-Cassadine. Riches to rags storylines often require suspending one's disbelief, but Edward was darn lucky that Alan didn't set up a conservatorship once the men were back on their feet. I imagine that it was also hard for Alan, Monica, and/or Edward to regain their credibility among the broker community. But I'm getting ahead of myself. We've still got until Friday, April 18 for the rollercoaster to finally go down.
Jimmy Lee, who currently has nothing better to do at night, learns about robber barons. He also learns about Sean and Monica's affair, but assumes Lorena's just lying in an attempt to regain his interest. Nevertheless, Jimmy Lee lets Alan know, and gets attacked for this. Oddly enough, this is the moment where Edward starts to feel doubt about the too good to be true deal.
As the week begins, Monica still hasn't washed her hands of the Qs. She's back to being especially discreet, even if it means looking silly at The Pub* and leaving after only a minute there. Somehow I doubt that Buzz and Anna would care about Sean and Monica.
*That's what it's named, according to Red's testimony.
Alan, Edward, and Chuck Morrison, Alan's private eye, are all outsmarted on Wednesday. Edward and Chuck find Monica lunching at the Port Charles Hotel ... with little A.J. Alan, meanwhile, arrives at Sean's suite, where it sounds like he's sharing a shower. Alan's surprised to find out that Sean's partner isn't Monica. I'm going to assume that Sean wasn't actually going to cheat with Wendy, which raises the question of just who Wendy really is. Bribed maid? Visiting WSB agent? Sex worker? Gal he genuinely picked up at the bar?
Anyway, while Frisco questions Susie at Kelly's, Sean's at the next table chewing out Alan for this supposed humiliating situation. Sean and Monica play the faux-aggrievement perfectly. I can't imagine that she and Rick got to have such fun.
Part III, the finale, will come tomorrow. Thanks for your patience.
