Port Charles Update Thursday 8/23/01

By Dawn

Karen and Eve are still discussing Michael at the Nurses Station. Eve still can’t shake the fact that Michael is devastated by the fact that he killed his own brother for her. Arguing with Karen’s advice that Michael needs to work this out by himself, Eve decides that she’s going to the monastery to find him. Karen doesn’t think that’s a good idea, and she knows Ian won’t like it, but Eve ‘knows’ it’s safe. Caleb is dead, and what could happen to her? As Eve leaves, Ian approaches her and asks her if Eve is headed home. Karen tries to stall, not wanting to reveal to Ian where Eve really went. But Ian presses her, and Karen evades the truth by saying that Eve ran an errand, and she loves him, and she’ll see him later at home. Karen is spared more questions by an orderly approaching them to tell them that someone is trying to get IN to lockdown. Confused, Karen and Ian follow him to find out who it is.

 Jack tries to convince Caleb that he has no plan. They both know that he was going to turn someday anyway, and he knows that Caleb has won. Smiling, Caleb sarcastically asks if Jack is ready to be the docile little lamb. Jack just wants to be close to Livvie. Caleb is pleased with his answer, and even more pleased to tell Jack that he and Livvie are married. Jack tenses, but shows no reaction, except to tell Caleb that Livvie won’t ever be his, but he can’t live without her. Acceptance is why he’s there. The only way to be near her is to serve Caleb any way he wants. Livvie has been sitting against Caleb, kissing him the entire time he’s talking to Jack, and Caleb decides that he wants Jack to watch him make love to Livvie.

 The man trying to get it to lockdown is Gabby’s and Emilio’s parish priest. Before Ian can argue, the priest is adamant about the fact that he won’t leave without seeing them, and he doesn’t believe they have some infectious disease. He argues with Ian telling him that it’s a medical situation by telling Ian that he knows it’s not. It’s not just medical, and he can help. The priest is aware evil exists, and he begs Ian to talk to him. Making a decision, Ian tells him that Gabby and Emilio were attacked by something evil and dark, and he’s shocked when the priest knows that it’s a vampire. The fact that the priest believes in vampires gives Ian the nerve to spill the entire story. When the priest hears that a vampire’s brother is a priest, he’s shocked, and Ian tells him about the family crest. The necklace sounds more like a pagan talisman to the priest than something to protect Eve.

 Kevin is leaning over James, talking about how much fun it would be to break his neck. Lucy reminds him that they can’t kill him yet. They discuss tearing the place apart to find all the secrets. Rafe wants to get into James’s mind, and Lucy is all for it. They are bonafide vampire slayers, why not use their powers. James gets uncomfortable, and Kevin pounces on it. Michael has been protecting Caleb, and he has to know how to destroy him, so if Kevin has to beat it out of Michael, he will. James states that Michael will never betray his brother, so Kevin goes to work on the antique artifacts in the bookcase. James is very upset, and he continues to ask Kevin why he’s doing it. Suddenly James jumps over the sofa past Lucy to wrap his arm around Kevin’s neck from behind.

 Caleb invites Jack to stay and watch, but Livvie begs him to stop. The fact that she’s protecting Jack upsets Caleb, but Livvie thinks that the more Jack sees how much she loves him, the more Jack will want to get her back. Jack argues with her. He knows that he can’t have her back, and he just wants her to be in his world. Caleb knows that Jack is planning to keep Livvie pure and make himself strong enough to take on Caleb with each kill. But Livvie’s first kill is going to be Jack.

 Caleb tells Livvie that she knows what she has to do, and she’ll do it well. When he commands her to kill Jack, she tries to convince herself that she can do it. As Caleb cheers her on, she approaches Jack, who pulls his shirt away from his neck for her. At the last second, Livvie realizes that she can’t do it. Taking him by the face, she tells him that she died for him and she loves him. But her betrayal enrages Caleb and he disappears, leaving Livvie to scream his name.

 Lucy pulls on James’s arm while Rafe grabs him from behind. Together, they try to break the grip James has on Kevin’s neck. Kevin breaks free, and Rafe pulls James backward. They fall on the desk, and James lands on the syringe that he was going to use on Lucy. Smiling, James tells them that he’ll take his secret to the grave. Lucy and Kevin grab each other and watch James die.

 Ian doesn’t think the priest can help Gabby, she’s embraced the evil force. The priest still wants to try to help her, and Ian decides that it’s worth a try. Ian takes the priest to Gabby.

 Eve enters the monastery and opens the door to the chapel. Michael is in the front, kneeling and praying. When Eve touches his shoulder, he jumps, causing her to step back. She asks him what’s wrong, and he stares at her.

 Livvie runs around the villa begging Caleb to come back to her. She is furious at Jack for making him leave. As she slaps harmlessly at him, Jack tells Livvie that he left because Livvie still loves Jack.

 Scenes:

 Jack tells Livvie that Caleb ordered Livvie to kill him and she couldn’t. Her love for Jack is stronger than Caleb.

 Michael wants Eve to go back to her husband because he’s afraid of what will happen to her if she stays.
