Port Charles Update Tuesday 8/7/01

By Dawn

Eve is screaming at Caleb as Karen and Ian are trying to calm her. She swears Caleb was there. He wants their baby, and Eve’s convinced that he was there. Ian tries to tell her that she was dreaming, but she’s convince that Caleb is causing the contractions.

 Jack is carrying a kicking and screaming Livvie. Lucy can’t believe they left Kevin alone with Caleb. Jack insists that was what Kevin wanted, but Lucy doesn’t care. They left him with that bloodsucker. She prays to god to make him okay.

 Caleb explains to Kevin that he is just a guy in love, but Kevin knows what he really is. Kevin is not going to let him get to Livvie. Kevin tells Caleb that Livvie is on a plane away from Caleb, and he will never have her. Knowing that Livvie will return to him, Caleb already has Livvie. That’s why he’s not chasing after her. When Kevin disagrees, Caleb is amused that he disapproves of the wedding. But he’s glad Kevin is there. He asks formally for Livvie’s hand in marriage and wants Kevin to welcome him to the family.

 Frank posted a guard outside Emilio’s room, but he can’t find Gabby. Karen starts on the list of the crazy things going on. A couple accidents, a few injuries, and oh, yeah, a vampire wants Eve and Ian’s baby. She tells Frank that Eve is still freaked out. Frank admits that Eve’s not the only one, he’s freaked out, too. But Karen is worried about Eve’s mental state, it could cause premature labor.

 Eve is holding the crest, but it’s not working. Eve can’t calm down, this evil force is taking over their lives. The tests coming back negative doesn’t calm her. Eve knows this isn’t normal, and she’s scared. Ian finally mentions that maybe here being scared is the problem. Not letting her know how scared he is, Ian tells her that Caleb isn’t going to get the baby, but Eve’s not as sure. Ian’s sure enough for both of them. Ian promises her that Caleb isn’t going to get their son. Suddenly Eve smiles, telling Ian that the baby kicked. Ian’s convinced that it a good sign, and he wants her to hold on to that.

 Lucy is freaking out about Kevin. Livvie tries to get Jack and Lucy to let her go back to Caleb. If they do, he’ll let Kevin go. Not only does Lucy not believe that, if she let Livvie go back to Caleb, she knows Kevin would never forgive her. Livvie is sure that Caleb will come for her because he loves her. Disgusted, Lucy tries to convince Livvie that Jack loves her. Caleb is the man Livvie loves. That infuriates Lucy, and she asks if Livvie cares that Caleb might be killing Kevin. As far as Livvie is concerned, they kidnapped her from that man she loves on her wedding day, and they are responsible for whatever happens to Kevin. Lucy is furious and hysterical. Running away with a vampire is not fine, and Lucy won’t let her become some bride of Dracula. Nothing’s going to happen to Kevin, Lucy decides that she’s going back after him. Jack wants to know what she’s going to do, but she’ll figure out that when she gets there. As Jack is screaming at Lucy that it’s suicide to try to go back, Livvie tries to go with her. Jack won’t Livvie go back to that freak. If Caleb’s a freak, what does that make Jack. His eyes meet hers as he says ‘Desperate’. She hates Jack, but all that matters to him is saving her life.

 If Kevin is willing to give his blessing, Caleb promises he’ll give Livvie a wonderful life. Nightmare is the word Kevin would use. All Caleb can offer her is a world of pain and grief. Still challenging Kevin, Caleb asks what happened to congratulations. Livvie knows what he is, and she still wants him. Kevin’s not impressed that Caleb can mess with a naïve girl. But Caleb denies that she’s a girl. She‘s a woman with an amazing sense of passion. She wants Caleb body and soul. Kevin threatens Caleb, which amuses him. Calling Kevin Doc, Caleb informs him that he knows all about Ryan. Maybe he should be worried about marrying into Kevin’s family. Smiling, Caleb tells Kevin that what Ryan did is child’s play by his standards. Kevin is in way over his head. As far as Kevin’s concerned, one psychotic is the same as another. Kevin goes on a rant. First Caleb enjoys inflicting pain, then he deludes himself to justify his actions. Caleb asks if Kevin’s going to charge him for this session. The competition is amusing Caleb, but he will give Olivia all the pleasures of this world and the next. What father wouldn’t want that for his daughter? Kevin is that father. He knows all about his love. He knows about Olivia. Olivia despised him for what he is. He killed her for it. Caleb states that Kevin can’t stop the wedding. Kevin’s already stopped him; the wedding is over.  

 Eve is sorry for acting so crazy. Ian wants her to rest, but she can’t. Karen comes in and tells her that she’s waiting for the test for leaking amniotic fluid. Ian kisses her and heads for the lab. Eve tells Karen she doesn’t have to baby sit. Sitting next to Eve, Karen admits that she’ll take any excuse to be off the floor. Trying to be agreeable, Eve begins to ask questions about her day, asking if they should talk about make up or men. Karen’s not sure what to say, but she wants Eve to have faith that it will be okay. Eve knows that Ian is trying to make this okay for her, but he can’t. She can’t sit like a big target, there has to be something she can do.

 Ian is ordering the lab to hurry with the test results. Frank tells him that Karen’s worried about the effect of Eve’s mental state on the baby, but Ian knows that. Ian’s just as upset about waiting for Caleb’s next move. If it was Karen, Frank would be freaked out too. Frank wants to know how Ian intends to kill Caleb if Caleb is already dead. Ian wants to send him back to his grave, and Frank offers to help.

 Livvie can’t believe Jack is doing this, but he can only hope she’ll understand someday. He wants her to trust him again. All Livvie knows is that Jack took her from the man she loves on her wedding day. Begging, Jack wants her to block out all the lies that Caleb put in her head. What they had was good, and strong. He knows she didn’t forget that. They couldn’t go a day without seeing each other. When Livvie tells him that she’s marrying Caleb, Jack disagrees. They are soul mates. Now Livvie is begging him to stop saying that, but he won’t. The woman he loves is still there, inside her, waiting for him to find her. Livvie continues to beg him to stop, but he goes on. When they first met, she was scared, but when they kissed for the first time, she came to life. He’s doing this because he loves her.

 Caleb is smiling. Keep talking like this, and Caleb will forget his Livvie’s father. Kevin continues to push Caleb. How does it feel to murder the woman he loved? When Kevin asks how it felt to take her future, Caleb calls out for an all aboard for the guilt trip. Olivia must have been terrified, and Caleb must have enjoyed, it. No longer smiling, Caleb tells Kevin that Olivia was his life and he loved her. Real love is about sacrifice. Jack would lay down his life for Livvie, not kill her. Kevin continues to argue, but Caleb knows Livvie wants him. How long before the spell wares off, and Livvie looks at him with disgust. Kevin asks how long it will be before she remembers Jack. Caleb throws flowers and screams at Kevin that there’s too much talking going on, not enough bleeding. Kevin’s not afraid to die. Go ahead as long as Livvie is okay. Caleb doesn’t intend to kill Kevin. That wouldn’t be any fun. The fun is to turn Kevin and have Kevin bring his daughter to Caleb. Kevin won’t become one of them, he’ll fight Caleb. Caleb explains to Kevin that he can’t fight it. The hunger always gets to you. Jack’s fighting it and he’s a mess. Caleb bares his fangs and advances on Kevin. Lucy runs in, and seeing this, gets between the men. Lucy shoves Caleb, screaming at him to get away from Kevin. Moving quickly away from her, Caleb actually sucks his thumb and cowers from Lucy. Caleb is trembling. Shocked, Lucy asks if she actually scared a vampire. Kevin tells her to not ask questions, just get out. They leave Caleb against the wall.

 Caleb is wandering around the room alone. He didn’t realize Lucy is the one. Using his fingers, he puts out one of the candles.

 Jack is watching out the window of the plane as it moves. Remembering Livvie in the woods when Caleb told him she was his. When Caleb informed him he was a vampire, and half way to being immortal. Kissing Livvie when his own fangs appeared. Drinking blood for the first time. Telling Livvie that he had to destroy Caleb. Livvie not believing in vampires. Caleb telling him to stay away from Livvie, the she is Caleb’s destiny. Right before the wedding, asking Jack to understand she’s not afraid. Livvie angrily telling him that Caleb didn’t lie to her. Livvie repeating that Jack is her past, and Caleb is her future. Jack leans closer to her, asking why this happened to them.

 Frank asks Karen if she’s ready to go home. Ian gets the lab results, which are fine and asks Karen why she isn’t with Eve. Ian wants to take her home for some rest, but when he reaches her room, Eve is gone. She’s in the chapel praying to god for an answer. He’s given her a beautiful child, and she needs his help to protect him. Michael enters the chapel. She’s happy to see him. He was seeing someone at the hospital, and sensed she needed him. Eve knows that Michael has feelings for her, and he has to make a choice. Either Eve or Caleb.

 Kevin and Lucy enter a clearing in the woods, both out of breath. Kevin doesn’t think Caleb is following them. Lucy wonders why, but Kevin has no idea. Caleb could have killed them both, but when Lucy touched him, he just stopped, almost looking scared. Staring at Lucy, he asks her what Caleb did the first time Lucy saw him. She thinks about it, but he didn’t do anything. He didn’t have a chance, because she shut the door in his face. It’s strange, Kevin knows Caleb was going to kill him, but he just stopped. Lucy agrees it doesn’t make sense, unless….. Stopping, Lucy walks away from Kevin, but he wants to know what she’s thinking. Getting hyper again, Lucy tries to tell him. Vampires can’t feed on their relatives, what if, somehow, she’s related to Caleb?

 Scenes:

 Eve accuses Michael of having feelings of affection for her.

 Back at the lighthouse, Jack wants to know what Caleb has ever done for Livvie besides destroy her life. Staring at Jack and Alison, Livvie tells them that Caleb gave her back her mother.

 Lucy and Kevin are on the side of the road. Kevin is going to stand in front of a truck to stop it. As the horn blares and the brakes squeal, Lucy screams.
