This will be the last Monday update that I can do for at least 4-6 weeks.
I+ll be out of state and maybe country on a work assignment and I won+t
 have access to a VCR.  If you+d like to fill in, let me know!

Nick and Sydney are stuck in the elevator.  She+s upset, Nick is laid back.
She forgot her cell phone and no one+s in her apartment to call for help.
She yells for help, but Nick reminds her that she can+t be heard through
4 feet of concrete.  Nick plays his guitar. Sydney tells him to stop it - 
she
no longer likes his music.  He starts a medley +Hang on Sydney+, +Aint
to proud to beg+, and +She can+t get no satisfaction+ (songs slightly
modified).  He pulls out a flask and drinks - she+s disgusted that he+s
back to drinking, and doesn+t believe that it water.  Nick keeps water
in the flask - the flask is a sort of security blanket.  The elevator starts
up and they arrive at Nicks floor where they do some sniping at each
other over not showing up at the Empire State Building.  After Nick
gets out and the elevator leaves, Nick realizes that Sydney must have
gone there.

Jocelyn is holding Malcolm at gunpoint.  Mal doesn+t believe Jocelyn
would shoot him - she wouldn+t get away with it.  She tells him a scenario
about thinking he was an intruder and shot him.  He wonders how she
would explain why a respected CEO was breaking into her apartment.
Although it seems that would be his problem, not hers, she tells him
that both Alex and Sydney know that they have a fling and that he was
harassing her.  He tells her he+ll leave her alone and can set her up in
her own law firm.  She mentions that he hasn+t any money, so he tells
her that he has 50 million stashed in a Swiss bank that no one knows
about and gives her the account number.  She reveals a tape recorder
and tells him to leave.  He calls her some names and leaves.

Alex comes to the bar and tries to buy a skeptical Danny a drink.  He wants
to talk to Danny about Joc - he thinks she+s in trouble.  Danny says she 
won+t
tell him anything.  Alex asks about family problems - Danny mentions that
he has problems with Dad, but Joc and Dad get along great.  Alex says
maybe their relationship (Joc & Dad+s) isn+t as good as it seems.  Jocelyn
arrives in a good mood, and is pleased to see Alex and Danny having a drink
and playing pool.  They both notice that she+s in a better mood.

Zoey and Kayla arrive at the clinic.  Zoey is ahead of Kayla, and when she
sees the mess and graffiti (but not Angie), she hustles Kayla out for
some ice cream at the local bar.  She tells Jacob to get to the clinic. 
 When
Buck asks what+s wrong she gets nasty with him, then later tells him about
the clinic.  He tells an actual bar employee to watch the bar and takes off.

Jacob arrives, sees Angie and calls an ambulance.  Just then Angie comes to.
Jacob then calls the police, but Angie doesn+t want the police involved - 
they
have had enough bad publicity.  Buck arrives.  He says there were some guys
causing problems down in the bar earlier.  Then a cameraman comes in
from the village voice having heard about the attack from the police who
haven+t arrived.  Jacob chases him out as he takes pictures - including on 
of
Angie by the graffiti +Adopt one of your own+.
