KEVIN: ARE YOU SURE YOU FEEL
ALL RIGHT TO BE RELEASED?
 EVE: I'M FINE.
 KEVIN: IT WAS ONLY YESTERDAY
YOU WERE KNOCKING AT DEATH'S
DOOR.
NOW YOU WANT TO GO HOME AFTER
SPENDING ONLY ONE NIGHT
IN THE HOSPITAL?
 EVE: DR. BOARDMAN SAID THAT
THE JOLT TO MY THORAX WHICH
STOPPED MY HEART WASN'T SEVERE
ENOUGH TO TAKE ME OUT.
OH, COME ON NOW.
IF I CAN SURVIVE GREG COOPER'S
LETHAL MASONRY SKILLS, I CAN
SURVIVE A MEASLY, LITTLE
SNOWSTORM.
 KEVIN: IT WASN'T A MEASLY,
LITTLE SNOWSTORM.
IT WAS A MEASLY, LITTLE
AVALANCHE.
FRANKLY, SEEING YOU
IN FULL ARREST
SCARED ME HALF TO DEATH.
 EVE: I DON'T REMEMBER ANY
OF IT.
AT FIRST,
I OPENED UP THE MOTOR HOME DOOR
TO SEE A BUNCH OF SNOW COMING
RIGHT AT ME.
THE NEXT THING I KNOW, I WAKE UP
IN THE HOSPITAL WITH YOU SITTING
NEXT TO ME.
 KEVIN: AND YOU DON'T REMEMBER
ANYTHING IN BETWEEN?
 EVE: NOT A THING.
 NURSE: OK.
SO JUST SIGN ON THE DOTTED LINE,
DR. LAMBERT, AND YOU CAN GO.
 EVE: I COULD'VE SWORN THAT
YOU SAID, "DON'T LEAVE ME."
 KEVIN: THAT'S -- YEAH, YEAH.
THAT'S BECAUSE I DID.
 EVE: BUT IT WAS THE WAY
YOU SAID IT.
 KEVIN: WELL, I DIDN'T REALIZE
UNTIL I SAW YOU --
 EVE: REALIZE WHAT?
 KEVIN: HOW MUCH YOU MEANT
TO ME.
AND THAT I'M FALLING IN LOVE
WITH YOU.
 EVE: THERE YOU GO.
THANK YOU.
COME ON, NOW.
WHAT DO YOU SAY WE GET OUT
OF THIS PLACE?
I CAN'T WAIT TO GET BACK HOME
AND HAVE EVERYTHING THE WAY
WE LEFT IT.
 LUCY: SCOTT, TELL ME,
PLEASE TELL ME THAT THE BLIZZARD
DIDN'T HAVE ANY EFFECT
ON PRODUCTION?
YES.
OH. YEAH.
NO, SO THE DRESSES WILL BE
DELIVERED ON TIME?
OH, THAT'S SO FANTASTIC.
WHEN ARE YOU GOING TO BE HOME?
YEAH?
[DOORBELL RINGS]
 LUCY: OH.
OK, LISTEN, SOMEBODY'S
AT YOUR DOOR.
DRIVE SAFELY, ALL RIGHT?
IT'S KIND OF NASTY OUT THERE
STILL.
YEAH. TA.
ELLEN!
OH, PLEASE, COME IN.
I'M SO GLAD TO SEE YOU SAFE
AND SOUND.
YOU KNOW, I WAS WORRIED ABOUT
YOU COMING HOME LAST NIGHT
FROM THE HOSPITAL, THAT MAYBE
YOU WOULD GET CAUGHT
IN THE BLIZZARD AND EVERYTHING.
YOU OK?
 ELLEN: I DID GET CAUGHT --
IN A SNOWDRIFT.
AND YOU'LL NEVER GUESS WHO
STOPPED TO LEND A HAND.
 LUCY: WHO?
 ELLEN: SEBASTIAN DUPREE,
A.K.A., THE DUC D'ORLEANS.
 LUCY: YOU -- YOU'RE KIDDING,
RIGHT?
 ELLEN: THIS IS NOT SOMETHING
I WOULD KID ABOUT, LUCY!
 LUCY: OH, WOW.
THIS IS SO UNBELIEVABLE.
 ELLEN: OOH!
WHAT IS UNBELIEVABLE IS I ASKED
YOU NOT TO AIR MY STORY
AND YOU WENT AHEAD AND DID IT
ANYWAY, AND NOW LOOK WHAT'S
HAPPENED.
 LUCY: ELLEN --
DU
YOU'RE MISSING THE POINT.
DON'T YOU SEE?
WHAT ARE THE ODDS THAT A MAN
YOU SPENT ONE DAY WITH 10 YEARS
AGO AT MARDI GRAS IN NEW ORLEANS
WOULD FIND YOU IN A SNOWSTORM
IN PORT CHARLES?
ELLEN BURGESS, THIS IS
YOUR FATE!
[CAPTIONING MADE POSSIBLE BY
NCI'S CORPORATE PARTNERS]
 LUCY: DID -- DID YOU KNOW IT
WAS HIM RIGHT AWAY?
 ELLEN: OF COURSE NOT.
 LUCY: OH.
COULD HE TELL IT WAS YOU?
 ELLEN: NO.
 LUCY: REALLY?
 ELLEN: WE WORE MASKS
THE FIRST TIME WE MET, AND THAT
WAS 10 YEARS AGO.
 LUCY: YEAH, I KNOW.
I JUST THOUGHT THAT MAYBE,
YOU KNOW, THAT OLD CONNECTION
SORT OF RECONNECTED.
 ELLEN: WE WERE TWO COLD
PEOPLE TRYING TO FIND SHELTER
FROM THE BLIZZARD.
THAT'S ALL.
 LUCY: HMM.
SO WHERE'D YOU END UP FINDING
SHELTER?
 ELLEN: THE PORT CHARLES
GRILL.
 LUCY: WELL, IF YOU DIDN'T
RECOGNIZE HIM, HOW DID YOU KNOW
THAT IT WAS THE DUKE?
 ELLEN: HE TOLD ME WHY HE WAS
IN PORT CHARLES WHILE WE WERE
HAVING DINNER.
 LUCY: YOU HAD DINNER?
YOU WERE ATTRACTED TO HIM.
 ELLEN: I WAS NOT.
 LUCY: THIS IS SO AMAZING.
YOU DIDN'T EVEN RECOGNIZE HIM,
BUT YOU STILL HAD THOSE OLD
FEELINGS COME UP.
THOSE HAPPENED.
 ELLEN: WHAT I HAD GOING,
WHAT FEELING I HAD, WAS HUNGER.
NEITHER ONE OF US HAD EATEN.
 LUCY: UH-HUH, RIGHT.
YOU KNOW, I HAPPEN TO SEE HAVE
SEEN THE GUY.
HE'S VERY ATTRACTIVE AND VERY
CHARMING.
 ELLEN: LUCY, YOU'RE
FORGETTING I'M WITH MATT AND I'M
VERY HAPPY.
 LUCY: ALL I'M SAYING IS
THINGS HAPPEN FOR A REASON.
SO TELL ME, WHAT DID HE SAY WHEN
HE FOUND OUT THAT YOU WERE
HIS LADY OF THE MOON?
 ELLEN: I DIDN'T TELL HIM.
 LUCY: OH, YOU DIDN'T?
HMM.
 ELLEN: THERE WAS NO REASON
TO TELL HIM.
 LUCY: RIGHT.
SO YOU WERE DEFINITELY ATTRACTED
TO HIM.
 ELLEN: LUCY!
 LUCY: OH, COME ON.
THIS IS PERFECTLY CLEAR.
YOU WOULD'VE JUST TOLD HIM.
YOU WOULD'VE TOLD HIM,
THEN YOU GUYS WOULD'VE LAUGHED
ABOUT MARDI GRAS, REMINISCED
ABOUT OLD TIMES, AND THEN
YOU JUST WOULD'VE GONE
YOUR SEPARATE WAYS.
 ELLEN: OOH!
MY LIFE IS EXACTLY THE WAY
I WANT IT, AND I AM NOT
INTERESTED IN ADDING TO THE MIX
SOME GUY WHO'S BEEN CARRYING
A TORCH FOR ME FOR 10 YEARS.
 LUCY: HMM.
SO OF COURSE YOU TOLD MATT ABOUT
THE DINNER.
 ELLEN: I HAVEN'T SEEN MATT
SINCE THE DINNER.
BUT WHEN I DO, IT WON'T BE
COMING UP.
SEBASTIAN DUPREE DOES NOT KNOW
THAT I AM HIS LADY OF THE MOON,
AND AS FAR AS I'M CONCERNED,
HE NEVER WILL.
HE'S LEAVING TOWN.
END OF STORY.
 SEBASTIAN: EXCUSE ME.
I'M LOOKING FOR DR. ELLEN
BURGESS.
IS SHE ON DUTY?
 MATT: NO, SHE'S NOT.
 SEBASTIAN: DO YOU KNOW
IF SHE'S SCHEDULED TO WORK
TODAY?
 MATT: SHE SHOULD BE IN AFTER
LUNCH.
WOULD YOU LIKE TO LEAVE
A MESSAGE?
 SEBASTIAN: NO, THANKS.
IT'S PERSONAL.
I'LL COME BACK LATER.
 EVE: HEY, ROOMIE.
 CHS: HEY.
 EVE: YOU'LL NEVER BELIEVE
WHAT HAPPENED TO ME.
 CHRIS: I HEARD.
YOU WENT ONE-ON-ONE
WITH AN AVALANCHE, AND
THE AVALANCHE LOST.
 EVE: JUST BARELY.
 KEVIN: YOU SURE I CAN'T
CONVINCE YOU TO COME BACK
TO THE LIGHTHOUSE?
I'LL WAIT ON YOU HAND AND FOOT.
 EVE: OH.
YOU HAVE DONE SO MUCH FOR ME.
AND IF I SAID "THANK YOU"
FROM NOW UNTIL CHRISTMAS,
IT STILL WOULDN'T BE ENOUGH, BUT
I'LL BE OK HERE.
 KEVIN: WELL, THEN I'LL GO --
BUT ONLY IF YOU PROMISE TO CALL
ME IF YOU NEED SOMETHING.
 EVE: I PROMISE.
 KEVIN: BYE.
 EVE: BYE.
 KEVIN: BYE, CHRIS.
 CHRIS: BYE, DR. COLLINS.
YOU KNOW, WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT
IT, IT'S KIND OF FUNNY.
 EVE: WHAT IS?
 CHRIS: WELL,
YOU TWO HEAD OFF FOR A ROMANTIC,
IDYLLIC TRIP TO THE LAKE VIA
STRETCH LIMOUSINE, AND YOU END
UP IN A MOTOR HOME UNDER A TON
OF SNOW.
 EVE: OH. YEAH.
ALMOST DYING IS SO FUNNY.
 CHRIS: COME ON.
I'M ONLY TEASING YOU
BECAUSE YOU'RE ALIVE
AND NO WORSE FOR WEAR, HUH?
SO SPILL THE BEANS.
WHAT WAS ALMOST DYING LIKE?
 EVE: I DON'T REMEMBER.
 CHRIS: WHAT, YOU WEREN'T
THERE?
 EVE: NO, IT'S JUST HAZY.
 CHRIS: COME ON, NO WHITE
LIGHTS AT THE END OF THE TUNNEL,
NO DISEMBODIED VOICES?
 EVE: ALL RIGHT.
I -- I DO REMEMBER BITS
AND PIECES OF THIS BIZARRE
DREAM.
AND IT WAS LIKE I WAS ON TRIAL.
 CHRIS: OOH.
WELL, MAYBE SOMEBODY WAS TRYING
TO DECIDE WHETHER YOU
GO UP OR --
 EVE: WAIT A MINUTE.
SCOTT AND LUCY WERE THERE.
 CHRIS: OOH, SO IT WASN'T
A DREAM.
IT WAS MORE LIKE A NIGHTMARE.
 EVE: I -- I DON'T KNOW WHAT
IT WAS.
 CHRIS: WAS I THERE?
YOU KNOW, THE RICH,
HANDSOME DOCTOR YOU COULDN'T
KEEP YOUR HANDS OFF OF?
 EVE: YEAH, RIGHT.
THAT WAS YOUR DREAM,
RAMSEY, NOT MINE.
 CHRIS: WHAT ABOUT
THE BOYFRIEND DU JOUR, KEVIN?
WAS HE THERE?
 EVE: WHEN I CLOSE MY EYES,
I TRY AND SEE HIM.
I COULD'VE SWORN THAT YOU SAID,
"DON'T LEAVE ME."
 KEVIN: THAT'S -- YEAH, YEAH.
THAT'S BECAUSE I DID.
 EVE: BUT IT WAS THE WAY
YOU SAID IT.
 KEVIN: WELL, I DIDN'T REALIZE
UNTIL I SAW YOU --
 EVE: REALIZE WHAT?
 KEVIN: HOW MUCH YOU MEANT
TO ME.
AND THAT I'M FALLING IN LOVE
WITH YOU.
 CHRIS: WHAT?
 EVE: OH, MY GOD.
OH, MY GOD.
KEVIN.
KEVIN TOLD ME HE WAS FALLING
IN LOVE WITH ME.
 CHRIS: WHAT, IN YR DREAM?
 EVE: NO.
NO, IT WASN'T THE DREAM.
IT WAS REAL!
 ELLEN: WILL YOU STOP LOOKING
AT THAT THING?
 LUCY: OH.
I CAN'T HELP IT.
MY -- MY PSYCHIC CONNECTIONS
HAVE BEEN SO MUCH STRONGER NOW
THAT I'VE GOTTEN MY LIFE BACK
ON TRACK WITH SCOTT.
 ELLEN: LUCY, IT WAS NOT FATE
THAT BROUGHT SEBASTIAN
TO PORT CHARLES.
IT WAS YOUR BROADCAST
OF OUR ENCOUNTER ON NATIONAL
TELEVISION.
 LUCY: WOULD YOU PLEASE JUST
STAY OPEN TO THE POSSIBILITY?
IF I HADN'T DONE THAT,
IF I HADN'T HAVE STAYED OPEN
TO WHAT THE UNIVERSE WAS TRYING
TO TELL ME, I MIGHT NOT HAVE
EVER PUT THAT DRESS
ON IN THE MANSION, AND THEN
I NEVER WOULD'VE BEEN REUNITED
WITH SCOTT.
AND I NEEDED TO BE.
I WAS AT THE ABSOLUTE LOWEST
POINT OF MY LIFE BECAUSE I HAD
LOST KEVIN, AND I DIDN'T THINK
THAT I WOULD EVER, EVER BE HAPPY
AGAIN.
BUT NOW, EVERY DAY, SCOTT FILLS
MY LIFE WITH A LOT OF JOY.
 ELLEN: OH, LUCY.
 LUCY: NO, COME ON.
ALL I'M TRYING TO SAY IS THAT
INFOMERCIAL IS KIND OF LIKE
YOU PUTTING ON THAT DRESS,
AND AN OLD LOVE CAME BACK
INTO YOUR LIFE JUST LIKE IT DID
FOR ME.
 ELLEN: A, I AM NOT
AT THE LOWEST POINT IN MY LIFE.
I AM WITH MATT, AND I'M VERY
HAPPY.
AND B,
ALL THIS "THE UNIVERSE IS
TALKING TO ME" IS JUST YOUR WAY
OF TRYING TO RATIONALIZE
THE FACT THAT YOU'RE WITH SCOTT
AND NOT WITH KEVIN.
IT WAS NOT THE DRESS.
IT WAS NOT FATE.
IT WAS YOU.
WHICH IS FINE.
I THINK IT'S GREAT THAT YOU'RE
WITH SCOTT.
BUT PLEASE, STOP TRYING TO CUT
MY LIFE TO FIT YOUR PATTERN.
 LUCY: I AM NOT.
AND I'M NOT SAYING THAT YOU HAVE
TO BE IN LOVE WITH SEBASTIAN
OR THAT HE'S YOUR TRUE LOVE
OR THAT YOU SHOULDN'T BE
WITH MATT.
I'M JUST SAYING PLEASE,
ELLEN, STAY OPEN TO WHAT IS OUT
THERE.
 ELLEN: OH, OK, I WILL STAY
OPEN, IF YOU PROMISE NOT
TO INTERFERE.
 LUCY: DEAL.
 ELLEN: ALL RIGHT.
I GOT TO GO TO WORK.
 LUCY: OH, BUT THERE IS ONE
TEENY, TINY, LITTLE THING.
 ELLEN: WHAT?
 LUCY: I WAS VERY, VERY GOOD.
I DIDN'T TELL SEBASTIAN HOW
TO FIND YOU.
BUT HE FOUND YOU ANYWAY.
 ELLEN: HE DOESN'T KNOW THAT.
 LUCY: THE POINT IS,
IS YOU HAVE TO BE PREPARED
BECAUSE WHATEVER'S GOING
TO HAPPEN IS GOING TO HAPPEN,
WHETHER I'M INVOLVED OR NOT.
 EVE: OW!
SINCE WHEN DID YOU GET YOUR EAR
PIERCED?
 CHRIS: OH, IT'S PROBABLY
COURTNEY'S.
SHE WAS STUCK HERE IN
THE BLIZZARD.
 EVE: NOW I KNOW HOW
YOU KEPT WARM.
 CHRIS: COME ON.
NOTHING HAPPENED.
 EVE: YEAH, RIGHT.
 CHRIS: I'M SERIOUS.
EVENING DIDN'T GO BEYOND PG.
WASN'T NEARLY AS EVENTFUL
AS YOURS.
NO ONE AROUND HERE SAID
THEY WERE FALLING IN LOVE.
 EVE: WHY DO YOU SUPPOSE KEVIN
SAID THAT?
 CHRIS: WELL, HE
PROBABLY THOUGHT YOU WERE
A GONER AND JUST WANTED TO MAKE
YOU FEEL BETTER.
HE'S PROBABLY SWEATING BULLETS
RIGHT NOW, HOPING YOU DON'T
REMEMBER.
 EVE: THAT IS SOMETHING THAT
YOU WOULD DO.
BUT KEVIN WOULDN'T DO THAT --
NOT FOR THAT REASON.
 CHRIS: HMM.
ARE YOU SURE?
 EVE: NO.
 CHRIS: EVE --
 EVE: WELL, NO, I MEAN,
YOU KNOW, HE DID THINK I WAS
DYING.
 CHRIS: I WAS KIDDING.
 EVE: WELL, PEOPLE TEND TO SAY
ALL KINDS OF WEIRD THINGS
TO OTHER PEOPLE WHEN THEY THINK
IT'S THE END.
 CHRIS: LOOK, KEVIN COULD HAVE
SAID THIS BECAUSE HE ACTUALLY
MEANT IT.
 EVE: WELL, MAYBE HE MEANT IT
AND THEN CHANGED HIS MIND.
 CHRIS: YOU ARE SO
OVERANALYZING THIS.
 EVE: I CAN'T HELP IT.
 CHRIS: IS IT SO HARD
FOR YOU TO BELIEVE THAT A GUY
COULD ACTUALLY FALL IN LOVE
WITH YOU?
 EVE: I DON'T KNOW.
I DON'T KNOW.
ISN'T IT STRANGE THAT KEVIN SAID
THAT TO ME LAST NIGHT, BUT THIS
MORNING HE DIDN'T SAY A WORD?
 CHRIS: NOT NECESSARILY.
WHAT DID YOU SAY TO HIM?
 EVE: WELL, I TOLD HIM THAT
I DIDN'T REMEMBER ANYTHING
BETWEEN THE AVALANCHE AND WAKING
UP IN THE HOSPITAL.
 CHRIS: WELL, THERE
YOU HAVE IT.
I MEAN, IF HE'S ANYTHING LIKE
YOU, HE'S PROBABLY AGONIZING
RIGHT NOW OVER WHETHER
YOU REALLY DON'T REMEMBER
OR THIS IS JUST YOUR WAY
OF AVOIDING THE ISSUE.
 EVE: YOU'RE RIGHT.
YOU'RE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT.
AND I DIDN'T SAY ANYTHING.
OH, MY GOSH.
I GOT TO GO OVER TO HIS PLACE
RIGHT NOW AND STRAIGHTEN THIS
OUT BEFORE I GO NUTS.
 VICTOR: WHERE'S EVE?
I THGHT YOU WERE GOING
TO BRING HER BACK WITH YOU.
 KEVIN: OH, SHE WANTED TO REST
IN HER OWN BED.
 VICTOR: ARE YOU ALL RIGHT?
 KEVIN: JUST SPENT THE LAST
HO DRIVING AROUND TRYING
TO FIGURE OUT WHAT'S GOING
ON BETWEEN EVE AND ME.
 VICTOR: BUT I THOUGHT
YOU WERE VERY HAPPY TOGETHER
WHEN WE STARTED THAT TRIP.
 KEVIN: WE WERE!
I AM!
 VICTOR: BUT?
 KEVIN: I STARTED DATING EVE
AS A DISTRACTION, A DIVERSION.
SEEMED LIKE A GOOD IDEA
AT THE TIME.
THE MORE TIME I SPENT WITH HER,
THE LESS TIME I WOULD HAVE
TO THINK ABOUT LUCY.
BUT FRANKLY, I THINK DEEP DOWN,
I'VE ALWAYS BELIEVED THAT LUCY
WAS THE ONLY WOMAN I'D EVER
REALLY LOVE.
BUT THINGS ARE DIFFERENT NOW.
I FIND MYSELF THINKING ABOUT EVE
MORE AND MORE.
I LOOK FORWARD TO BEING
WITH HER.
I MISS HER WHEN SHE ISN'T
AROUND.
SHE BRINGS OUT THE KID IN ME!
I FEEL UNINHIBITED AROUND HER!
I LOVE THAT!
 VICTOR: IT'S TRUE THAT EVE
CAN LIGHT UP A ROOM,
BUT THE SAME COULD CERTAINLY BE
SAID OF LUCY.
 KEVIN: NOW, WAIT A MINUTE.
MY RELATIONSHIP WITH EVE IS
A LOT DIFFERENT THAN THE ONE
I HAD WITH LUCY.
FOR ONE THING, IT'S A LOT LESS
COMPLICATED.
EVE AND I
HAVE A LOT MORE WAYS THAT WE'RE
SIMILAR.
WE HAVE SIMILAR BACKGROUNDS
AND ATTITUDES.
 VICTOR: WELL, IT SEEMS TO ME
THAT, FROM WHAT YOU'VE SAID,
YOU'RE JUST FALLING IN LOVE
WITH SOMEONE YOU'VE BEEN DATING.
NOTHING WRONG WITH THAT.
 KEVIN: THEN WHY DO I FEEL
SO DISLOYAL TO LUCY?
WHAT DOES IT MEAN WHEN YOU FEEL
UNFAITHFUL TO THE WOMAN
YOU BROKE UP WITH?
 MATT: HI.
 ELLEN: HI.
 MATT: WHERE'D THAT COME FROM?
 ELLEN: I CAN'T BEAPPY
TO SEE YOU?
 MATT: WELL, CERTAINLY.
IT'S JUST NOT STANDARD OPERATING
PROCEDURE FOR ELLEN BURGESS.
 ELLEN: IT'S JT THAT
SNOWSTORM KEPT US FROM BEING
TOGETHER LAST NIGHT.
 MATT: LET'S SAY WE MAKE UP
FOR LOST TIME WITH DINNER OVER
AT MY PLACE?
 ELLEN: YOU ARE ON.
HAS IT BEEN BUSY TODAY?
 MATT: NO, NOT REALLY.
SOMEONE CAME IN LOOKING
FOR YOU THIS MORNING.
 ELLEN: WHO?
 MATT: OH, HE DIDN'T SAY.
 ELLEN: "HE"?
 MATT: YEAH, HE DIDN'T WANT
TO SAY WHAT IT WAS ABOUT -- ONLY
THAT IT WAS PERSONAL.
 ELLEN: WH DID HE LOOK LIKE?
 MATT: OH, A TALL
AFRICAN-AMERICAN WITH A GOATEE,
FAIRLY HANDSOME.
 ELLEN: GREAT.
 MATT: IS THERE A PROBLEM?
 ELLEN: IT SOUNDS LIKE THE MAN
THAT'S LOOKING FOR ME IS
SEBASTIAN DUPREE, THE MAN THAT
I MET 10 YEARS AGO AT
MARDI GRAS.
IF YOU COULD LEAVE
JUST A LITTLE BIT
ER AT EVERY MEAL,
IT WOULD REALLY ADD UP.
IMAGINE WHAT YOU COULD AVOID
EATING IN A SINGLE MONTH.
IF YOU'RE SIGNIFICANTLY
OVERWEIGHT,
30 POUNDS OR MORE,
DEPENDING ON HEIGHT,
YOUR DOCTOR HAS
SOMETHING THAT MAY
HELP YOU TO EAT LESS.
IT'S CALLED MERIDIA,
AND IT CAN HELP YOU
TO LOSE WEIGHT,
AND KEEP IT OFF.
YOU'VE GOT TO DO YOUR PART.
YOU'VE GOT TO DO YOUR PART
WITH DIET AND EXERCISE,
BUT MEDIA CAN HELP.
MERIDIA IS
A PRESCRTI MEDICINE,
AND IT'S NOT FOR EVERYONE.
IT CAN SUBSTANTIALLY
RAISE BLOOD PRESSURE,
AND IT'S NOT FOR PEOPLE WHO
ARE PREGNANT OR NURSING,
DER 16, OR TAKING ANYTHING
EL FOR WEIGHT LOSS,
DEPRESSION, PARKINSON'S
DISEASE, MIGRAINES,
OR FOR PEOPLE WITH
ANOREXIA, GLAUCOMA,
OR SERIOUS HEART PROEMS.
SIDE EFFECTS MAY INCLUDE
HEADACHE, CONSTIPATION,
INSOMNIA, AND DRY MOUTH.
IT'S A CONTROLLED SUBSTANCE,
SO PATIENTS WHO ABUSE MERIDIA
MAY BECOME DEPENDENT.
FOR MORE INFORMATION,
ASK YOUR DOCTOR OR CALL...
I'M--I'M READY.
LOOKING TO MAKE YOUR CHICKEN
A LITTLE MORE LIVELY ?
WHY NOT REDISCOV
THE CRISP, JUICY TASTE...
THAT IS ONLY
SHAKE'N BAKE CHICKEN ?
SHAKE'N BAKE
REALLY SHAKES UP CHICKEN.
HOW DOES THE ALMOND GET INTO
HERSHEY'S KISSES WITH ALMONDS?
LITTLE HERSHEY'S KISSES
WITH ALMONDS.
BIG CHOCOLATE TASTE.
PPXXeoegD"úa NúN0!t!d
TONIGHT, WHILE YOU WERE OUT,
YOUR KIDS WERE IN
THE TRUSTED CARE
OF BETTY THE BABYSITTER.
YOU KNOW THEY ATE WELL
BECAUSE BETTY MADE
NEW SWANSON BONELESS
FRIED CHICKEN DINNERS.
YOUR KIDS ATE
THE BROWNIES FIRST.
THEY DEVOURED
THE TENDER ALL WHITE MEAT
IN THE CRISPY COATING
WITH LESS THAN PERFECT
TABLE MANNERS,
AND THEY FINISHED
THEIR MASHED POTATOES
WITH THEIR FINGERS.
OH, LIKE WHEN
YOU WERE A KID,
YOU DIDN'T EAT
A SWANSON DINNER
THE SAME WAY
WITH JOAN THE BABYSITTER.
 MATT: SO THE MAN THAT YOU ME
AT MARDI GRAS IS HERE?
 ELLEN: I'M AFRAID SO.
 MATT: ELLEN, HOW DID
HE FIND YOU?
 ELLEN: IT'S KIND OF A LONG
STORY.
 MATT: WELL, I'VE GOT TIME.
 P.A. ANNOUNCER: DR. HARMON
TO ROOM 604.
DR. MATT HARMON, ROOM 604.
 MATT: I'LL BE RIGHT BACK.
 ELLEN: I'M NOT GOING
ANYWHERE.

 SEBASTIAN: EXCUSE ME.
DR. ELLEN BURGESS, PLEASE.
 NURSE: RIGHT OVER THERE.
 SEBASTIAN: DR. BURGESS.
 ELLEN: OH, HI.
IT'S SO NICE TO SEE YOU AGAIN.
 SEBASTIAN: NICE TO SEE
YOU AGAIN,
MILADY.
 ELLEN: YOU KNOW.
 SEBASTIAN: YES.
 ELLEN: I FIGURED THAT'S WHY
YOU WERE HERE.
 SEBASTIAN: WHY DIDN'T
YOU TELL ME LAST NIGHT
AT DINNER?
 ELLEN: IT HAS BEEN SO MANY
YEARS, AND FRANKLY, I FORGOT
ABOUT THE DAY COMPLETELY UNTIL
RECENTLY.
 SEBASTIAN: I'VE NEVER
FORGOTTEN ABOUT IT.
BUT YOU KNOW THAT FROM DINNER
LAST NIGHT.
 ELLEN: I SHOULD'VE SAID
SOMETHING.
 SEBASTIAN: YEAH.
 ELLEN: I APOLOGIZE.
 SEBASTIAN: I HAVE SO MUCH
I WANT TO DISCUSS.
CAN WE MEET FOR COFFEE LATER?
 ELLEN: I CAN'T.
 SEBASTIAN: HOW ABOUT
BREAKFAST TOMORROW?
I MEAN, WHATEVER YOU WANT,
YOU NAME IT.
 ELLEN: I'M SEEING SOMEONE.
 SEBASTIAN: OH.
 ELLEN: MATT.
 MATT: HI.
 ELLEN: THIS IS THE GENTLEMAN
I WAS TELLING YOU ABOUT,
SEBASTIAN DUPREE.
SEBASTIAN, THIS IS
DR. MATT HARMON, MY SIGNIFICANT
OTHER.
 SEBASTIAN: NICE TO MEET YOU.
 MATT: LIKEWISE.
 ELLEN: I'M SORRY YOU CAME
SUCH A LONG WAY TO BE
DISAPPOINTED.
 SEBASTIAN: WELL, THIS TRIP
WASN'T A COMPLETE BUST.
WHEN YOU LEFT LAST NIGHT, I HAD
A CONVERSATION WITH A GENTLEMAN
AT THE BAR WHO WAS HAVING
A LITTLE PROBLEM WITH
HIS COMPANY.
I MADE A FEW SUGGESTIONS,
AND HE OFFERED ME A JOB.
 ELLEN: AMAZING.
 SEBASTIAN: IT'S FUNNY HOW
THINGS WORK OUT SOMETIMES, HUH?
 ELLEN: FATE.
 SEBASTIAN: YEAH.
 MATT: SO DOES THIS MEAN THAT
YOU'LL BE STAYING IN
PORT CHARLES?
 SEBASTIAN: FOR A WHILE.
I WAS WONDERING IF I CAN TAKE
YOU GUYS OUT FOR LUNCH SOMETIME
WHILE I'M HERE.
HOW ABOUT IT?
 VICTOR: HELLO?
 EVE: HA!
TAKE THAT, EARTH SCUM!
OH, I'M SORRY, VICTOR.
WRONG FOE.
 VICTOR: IT'S A GOOD THING
FOR YOU THAT MY ATOM
DE-ENERGIZER GUN IS IN MY OTHER
JACKET.
 EVE: IS KEVIN HERE?
 VICTOR: NO.
WHAT ARE YOU DOING OUTSIDE
IN THE COLD AFTER YOUR CLOSE
CALL THE OTHER DAY?
 EVE: WELL --
 VICTOR: YOU -- YOU SHOULD BE
HOME RESTING.
 EVE: I WAS RESTING.
I WAS.
BUT I GOT BORED, SO I THOUGHT
I WOULD COME OVER HERE AND BRING
THIS LASER TAG GAME OVER
AS A THANK-YOU GIFT FOR KEVIN.
SO, WHEN WILL HE BE BACK?
 VICTOR: UH, I -- I DON'T
KNOW.
 EVE: OH.
WELL, WHERE IS HE?
 VICTOR: WELL, IT'S HARD
TO SAY WHERE -- WHERE HE IS THIS
EXACT MINUTE.
 EVE: VICTOR?
 VICTOR: YES?
 EVE: YOU'RE HIDING SOMETHING.
 VICTOR: WELL, IT'S -- IT'S
NOTHING TO MAKE A BIG TO-DO
OVER.
IT'S --
 EVE: WELL, GREAT.
THEN I DON'T SEE WHY YOU CAN'T
TELL ME WHERE HE IS.
 VICTOR: WELL, HE'S WITH LUCY.
THEY HAD A FEW THINGS
TO STRAIGHTEN OUT -- BUT I'M
SURE HE'LL BE HOME ANY MOMENT.
WHY DON'T WE JUST PLAY LASER TAG
UNTIL HE GETS BACK?
 EVE: OH, THANKS, VICTOR, BUT
I THINK YOU WERE RIGHT.
I DO NEED TO GET SOME REST.
I'M NOT FEELING VERY WELL.
THANKS.
[DOOR CLOSES]
 LUCY: SCOTT BALDWIN, YOU TELL
ME AT LEAST HOW THE MEETING
WENT, OK?
WELL, CAN'T YOU AT LEAST GIVE ME
A COUPLE LITTLDETAILS?RIGHT, I GUESS I CAN WAIT
IF I HAVE TO.
BY THE WAY, I HAVE AN INCREDIBLE
MEAL WAITING FOR YOU WHEN
YOU GET HOME.
I'VE BEEN SLAVING OVER THE STOVE
FOR HOURS AND HOURS AND HOURS.
IT'S CALLED ITALIAN TAKEOUT, OK?
ALL RIGHT.
HEY, I COULD ORDER DESSERT, TOO.
OOH.
MMM, THAT SOUNDS VERY,
VERY NICE.
AND YOU DO REMEMBER THAT
SERENA'S ON THAT SLEEPOVER, HUH?
OK.
YEAH, YOU, TOO.
HURRY HOME BECAUSE I REALLY AM
STARTING TO MISS YOU WHEN YOU'RE
AWAY.
OK.
ALL RIGHT, TA.
[DOORBELL RINGS]
 LUCY: DOC.
