   Casa Cooper.
   Frank has to "de-sling" when the remote for the tv dies, and as he's 
jumping around exhorting his baseball team, Eleni walks through the 
front door with Marina. :)
   E buys a story about F making "rapid recovery", and having permission 
from the doc to "stand up every now and then".

   Buzz and Nadine return from their beach outing/groundskeeping foray, 
break out some lemonade (from their picnic cooler), and join Frankie in 
front of the tube. 
   They land on a promo for a new gameshow coming to Springfield:
"SoulMates --- The Game Show of the Heart That Gets Right TO The Heart!
("do you know what he wants before he wants it?...do you know what she's 
thinking before she thinks it? What would you do if she cheated on 
you?...We're coming to Springfield in two weeks for auditions, and 
here's what you have to do..."). 
   Eleni renters from the kitchen with snacks for Frank so "his bones 
wil heal properly". :)
   Nadine insists that she and Buzz have a genuine talent particularly 
well-suited to the new game show, but he's havin' no part of the sucker.
F&E also decline, and Nadine reminds them that it takes a long time for 
a couple to get to know one another; "10 or 15 years...".
   Frank: (making cow-eyes at Eleni) "That's fine with me..."   ;)

   Later, just as they're about to engage in a goodnight kiss, F&E are 
interrupted by Nadine, who quickly blows Dodge ("Don't mind me!"), but, 
alas, too late. The mood is spoiled, and Eleni, somewhat embarrassed 
that her guard is wearing down, hightails it to bed. 
   [I would have asked E if I could read her a bedtime story.
    "Sweetheart? It's a real good one: 'My Trouserpet Loves Honey'..."]

   Country Club - Outdoor entertainment/function area.
   Jenna 'rounds a corner, sherry bottle in-hand (yup, she's, um, 
slightly "baked", folks), and spots Vanessa sulking. Ignoring an initial 
blow-off, Jenna engages 'Nesaa in chat, and talk segues from an apparent 
wedding that took place earlier in the day at the site, to Van's 
wedding there a year ago, to Jenna's marriage to Roger; or as she put 
it, "I was the Bride of Roger Thorpenstein". [;)] 
   Jenna fires off a rather nasty toast to her "independance" from 
Roger, then chills a bit, and breaks out a bottle of her lotion. :)
Vanessa applies some to her hands ("Nice!"), and takes the opening to 
quiz Jenna about her recent "lapdog" routine w/Josh at Doris'. 
   Satisfied that the J-ster has no designs on her former brother-in-
law, Van mellows, and asks for a sip of sherry.
   Jenna: "Do you want a sip or a chug?"
   Van:   ".........a chug."   [:)]       ["Soitenly!"]
   Jenna: "That a girl!  (long pause) Mind if I ask a question?
           Since I don't have my hands in Josh's pockets, and I
           haven't been chasing after Henry, and I've dissasociated
           myself with just about everything that belongs to you...
           why do you still dislike me so much??"

   Vanessa chalks it up to "bad habits; no good reason for it...".
More "quality-time" convo, and Jenna admits that, during the Henry 
MegaLie time period, she actually looked upon Vanessa as a "perfect big 
sister...".
   With both their romantic lives on hold, Van decides that _her_ 
solution to the problem is going to be to throw herself into her work at 
Lewis Oil.
   Jenna: "(go ahead)...but that may not be enough..."

   Holly's Place.
   With burning match hovering near a corner of the Hong Kong list, 
Holly accuses Rog of being involved in yet another Spaulding takeover 
attempt. Roger bites, and spills his guts about the real implications of 
the list (names of potential players in a threatened takeover). 
Moreover, he feels his insider knowledge of the company may prove 
invaluable to the Group, and enable him to "break off a big piece" of 
the booty for himself. Next stop, Hong Kong, for some up close and 
personal sleuthing.
   Sastisfied that Rog isn't going to do anything illegal, and isn't 
going for a tryst with another woman, she helps him pack.
   Later, Rog knocks on Holly's bedroom door, and, noting that he's 
going away in the morning, makes a poignant pitch for Whappa City 
visitation rights. 
   Holly: (pulling back her covers) "Get in here!". :))

   BauerBash --- the wind-down.
   After Lucy brainslaps AM by informing him Eleni is happily performing 
"nursing duties" for Frank, the Dark Prince puts Ed on the case by 
having his uncle run a background check on Frank's mysterious, Clayton-
based physician. [!] 
   Meanwhile, Kat, Dave, Jet, Dylan and Lucy share a jacuzzi and try to 
devise a plot to get Julie out of the boarding house (David: "...buy her 
a one-way ticket to Tazmania..."). Kat gets a sudden case of the blues, 
and Dave takes her home. Alan Michael bops en scene just as Lucy 
suggests that Spinner be locked in the hold of the Spaulding yacht and 
sailed to parts unknown. He gets an earful about Lucy's new "in" w/Alex 
and all the accompanying perks, and a subtle "warning" to stay on his 
toes via a remark concerning "(family) loyalty".

   Out on a secluded part of a nearby beach, David gets some bad news:
Kat tells him she's "going to have to go away for awhile...on a 
trip...travelling Europe with her mother...".
   The Un-Dynamic Duo head back to the boarding house for some goodbye 
nookie.
               [Everyone wave good-bye to Miss Long.]

   Back at Ed's, AM gets the news that Frank's orthopedist (Frommer) is 
unknown in Clayton medical circles, and assumes aggressive body 
language. 
   Ed: "What? You think people are masquerading as doctors, now??"
   AM: "No, but I know someone who's masquerading as a patient..."

   Lucy, lurking nearby, buys a vowel, develops a look of serious 
concern, and looks prepared to launch into "RoboCoop" mode. :)
