Still no change in the opener - I want Tracy in there!!!

Carla arrives at the penthouse and is her usual charming self.  Tracy acts
sweet and takes the blame for Gino being there.  Gino shuts Carla up as
she accuses Tracy of trying to use her father.  Tracy plays sweeter and
says that she knows Carla is just being protective because she loves
him.  Tracy explains that she doesn+t need money, she comes from a very
wealthy family.  Just then, Dillon wakes and runs downstairs.  Tracy
introduces them and Dillon calls Gino sir and shakes his hand.  Gino mutters
to Carla that she could learn some manners from the boy.  Gino apologizes
to Dillon for waking him  Tracy takes Dillon back upstairs, and Dillon
thinks Gino looks like Quasimodo.  When Tracy returns, Gino prods Carla
to apologize and Tracy graciously accepts.  Carla leaves and Gino thanks
Tracy for being so understanding.  Tracy says it must have been hard on
Carla, losing her mother and in the only truthful thing she's said all 
evening
tells him no matter how old a girl gets, she always misses her mother.

Tony and Ally arrive at Tony's looking for Carla.  Ally hits on Tony, but
for once he shows restraint.  He's worried about Carla going up alone to
see Tracy.  Ally doesn't share his concern.  It turns out Tony's concern
isn't for his wife/cousin+s safety, but for her ethics - Carla only does 
things
for Carla.  Ally thought he and Carla were getting friendly - just like her
and  Danny snaps Tony.  (Well, it was snappish for Tony).  Ally tries to get
him to say what's wrong, but he continues to be in a snit.  In an amazing
deductive leap, Ally figures out the reason is Danny.  Tony denies it and
Ally half believes him.  They go back and forth a bit, then Tony admits 
being
upset that her laughing with Danny the other day made him feel how much
he was missing by not being able to be with her.  They discuss how difficult
it is not to be able to touch with out worrying that someone is watching or
taking pictures of them.  (Hey! buy some curtains so no one can see in!)
Ally leaves in tears and Tony talks to himself about what an idiot he's 
being.
There's a knock at the door and Ally in her red haired hooker outfit comes 
in.
They kiss, and flirt, and so on, since despite the Feds watching their every
move, even in their own homes, they will  *never* notice any of this going 
on
(everytime I think this plot has hit the depths of stupidity, they surprise 
me).
Carla arrives and sees through Ally's disguise in a fraction of a second and
yells at them.  Ally leaves and Tony starts in on Carla.  She shuts him up,
yelling that she's not taking another critique from a Soleito man.  Tony 
asks
what happened, did she find out what Tracy wanted.  Carla tells him she
did and there+s no way in hell Tracy is going to get it (curbhanger).

The crabby nurse and the clueless nurse repeat Fridays conversation over
Nick's sleeping form.  The crabby nurse says the rich and famous always
get what they want.  The clueless nurse doesn't understand so she gets the
explanation that the rich and/or famous can even buy a transplant.  The
offenses to the nursing profession leave and Nick opens his eyes.  Zoey
and Richard come in and talk about Syd's gift and how her gifts have a
way of backfiring.  (BTW, for those, like me, who were still uncertain, 
here's
who owns shares: Zoey, Tony, Ally, Joc,  Buck, Tess, Angie/Jacob).  Nick
says he knows and in the most gratuitous use of a flashback, flashes back 
two
minutes to the nurses conversation.  He realizes Syd bought his transplant
for him.  Zoe and Rich decide to leave, but Nick wants to talk to Richard 
alone.
He tells him his suspicions about Syd, and Richard tells him that he thought
the same thing and then admits that he asked Syd to do it.  Nick is not
thrilled by this.  Richard says he's sorry that he didn't discuss it with 
Nick
first and Nick forgives him.  Richard leaves, and Nick is clearly not happy
about getting the transplant bought for him.
