Tuesday on "the city":

In the apartment, Carla is getting a back rub. Oh, do 
it again, she sighs. You like it deep, he says. You're 
hard, like metal, but gentle underneath. Swen, your 
poetry is in your hands, Carla says. Tony and Ally 
come in and tell Carla that he's going to install a 
shower down here so she can do that in public, too.
Tony tells Swen to leave. He has 11 more minutes. No, 
Tony says, you have ONE minute, now go. Swen says 
something about the men Carla likes, and she says, 
yeah, but she loves him.

Tracy, in the penthouse with Dillon and Beth (the 
nanny), thinks that Nick is the bad man that the 
Australian guy was looking for. Dillon asks if this
is the bad man from TV. No, Tracy says, he only 
looks like that man. She tells Beth to take Dillon 
upstairs. Loraine figures out that the Australian 
guy is Richard. She goes to the phone, over Tracy's 
objections and calls Hotline and gets a hold of 
Richard. She tells him that Nick is with her, in 
the penthouse. He says he'll contact the hospital 
and be right over. She tells Nick they found a 
donor. He thought that he was off the list. He has 
pains. Loraine sets him down on teh couch. Tracy 
is on the phone, reporting a breaking and entering. 
Loraine grabs the phone from Tracy and calls Angie. 
She tells her to come up to the penthouse. Tracy 
asks if this is General Hospital. Tracy goes over 
to Nick and asks if he would please move to the 
leopard skins to be sick. Oh, please don't die on 
her, Tracy begs.

Tony and Ally try to talk to a towel-wrapped Carla 
about staying married only one year. Danny comes in 
drunk. He sees Caral and wants to play strip poker.

Tracy gives Nick soemthing to drink. What is it? A 
magic elixer, she says, that will have him up and 
out of her place in a flash. She tells Loraine that 
he should have his head elevated. Is she a doctor? 
Loraine asks. No, Tracy says, it runs in her family. 
Angie, Jacob, Buck, and Tess come in to the penthouse. 
Tracy is amazed that they just walked in. Angie goes 
to Nick, and Loraine asks if he has a fever. Angie 
examines him. Tracy tries to get them all to leave. 
Richard and Zoey come in. Tracy knows she locked the 
door. Richard has a key, he says. They ask if Nick 
will be all right.

Tracy is on the phone. That's 212 Greene Street. Greene. 
Like the color. Jacob makes a joke about Nick not being 
able to recognize his new liver. Nick talks about doing 
the Macarena with his new liver. Tracy confirms that 
they have a pick up with 911. Excuse me, you with the 
Australian accent, Tracy says. Are you talking to me? 
Richard asks. You're the only one with that accent, she 
says. Nick says that if she hadn't recognized him from 
the TV...he is surprised that the hospital found him a 
liver. 

Danny plops down and turns the radio up loud. Tony tells 
him to turn it down. It's his place, too, Danny yells. 
Go up stairs and sleep it off, Tony suggests.

Tracy takes Richard aside and she asks Richard why he 
has a key. She thinks everyone having a key makes it 
just a little too cozy. Richard says his dad is over 
there, what does she want? Why does he have a key to 
the penthouse? Well, his mother lives...or did, live 
here. HA! Tracy laughs. Sydney Chase is his mother? 
Well, Tracy says, she is looking for Sydney, would he 
please give her Sydney's number? Richard doesn't know 
where his mother is, and he doesn't care! The 
paramedics arrive, and Tracy lets them in and points 
to their "cargo". She begs them not to let him die. 
With a million dollar tax debt and a dead man in her 
living room, she'll never sell this place.

Angie says his blood pressure is low. Nick says he's 
made it this far, he's not going to check out now. 
Tracy says she's glad this is finally over. She has 
a young son. Here? Buck asks. Yes, he's upstairs, 
Tracy says, hopefully asleep, and she hopes that he 
hasn't seen this. Dillon peeks out around the corner 
of the stairs.

Ally takes Danny aside. Tony and Carla talk about the 
marriage for a year. She needs to sleep on it. Danny 
tells Ally that he spend all night at the brewery, 
and all he got was this headache. Ally tells him that 
another beer isn't gonna help. Carla offers to take 
Danny upstairs, does he come with a leash? They go 
upstairs. Tony tells Ally that Carla is not going to 
make it easy for them. Carla talks to Danny, who tells
her that he and Ally used to have a thing. Well, Danny
says, if knocking boots together is a relationship. 
Danny says that it's time for him to fall over and go 
boom. He falls onto the bed. Carla looks down the 
balcony and sees Tony and Ally.

Dillon comes down and talks to Jacob. He asks Jacob 
if those people are firemen or police. Jacob tells him 
that the people are paramedics, his friend is feeling 
a little sick. Dillon is sorry. Jacob says that he'll 
be okay. Jacob suggest that he should be upstairs 
asleep. Tracy comes over and tells Dillon that he 
should be asleep. He says he woke up. What time do 
you think it is? She says he has to go to sleep. 
Tracy calls for Beth, who comes down and says she 
thought he was asleep. Jacob gives him a horsie ride 
upstairs. Downstairs, Loraine remembers telling Nick 
that the cards said he would live, and the cards are 
never wrong. Richard comes over and tells Loraine that 
she should be the one to ride in the ambulance, he and 
Zoey will catch a cab and meet them at the hospital. 
Loraine thanks him. Zoey kisses Nick, for luck, and 
since he's so cute. They take Nick out. Tracy asks 
Richard for Sydney's whereabouts. His father is on his
way to the hospital. What is the secret! Tracy asks. 
Is Sydney in London or not. Not NOW! Richard says. 
He leaves. Tess thanks Tracy for her "hospitality". 
Tracy thanks Jacob...for before. He tells her she's 
welcome...for before. Zoey thanks her for being here, 
or else Nick would never have been found. She hugs 
Tracy. It's fine, but remember, never touch her 
again. Zoey bounces out. Tracy says she hopes that 
kid doesn't think that she was kidding. Richard 
decides to take the stairs since the stretcher is 
using the elevator. Loraine thinks that's a good 
idea. Angie tells her to stay, the ambulance will 
wait for them. She's going to be okay, Angie says.
Loraines repeats, this is it; this is it.
