Port Charles Update Friday 9/21/01 By Dawn Ian watches the baby while Eve watches him. They both
agree how hard it is to leave him for a even a minute. Eve apologizes again, but
Ian doesn’t want her to apologize anymore. She leaves him to watch Daniel while
she takes shower. Before she leaves the room, she admits that he was right,
because of her he missed a moment in their son’s life. Alone, Ian stares at his
son for a moment, muttering maybe, maybe not. Kevin rips the door open and Rafe is outside. Hugging
him, Lucy drags him inside. They’re both very happy to see him. Rafe knew she
needed some help, she’s worried about something. Jack rolls over and his dream continues. Livvie is still
trying to return to Caleb, and she finally breaks away from him. Jack screams
her name and for a moment it seems he wakes up. Caleb approaches Livvie, but he’s transparent. Livvie
swears that she saw him die, and Caleb agrees that that her friends did a number
on him. He’s not exactly alive, but he’s not dead either. He describes it as a
holding pattern. Livvie still doesn’t believe him, but Caleb tells her that when
she opened the music box she brought him back. Ian is holding Daniel and smiling. He leads Eve out to
the hallway and makes her ‘bring him home again.’ Laughing, Eve goes along with
him. Ian makes her close her eyes while he puts up a welcome home sign that he
made. Eve opens the door, and Ian walks him around the house, showing him
everything. Places to watch rugby games, places to mark his height, and places
for his trophies. Sitting Eve on the sofa, Ian brings her a large pail of
flowers. His initial thought was roses, but all he could manage on short notice
was the neighbor’s flower garden. He tells her that when she agreed to marry
him, he thought that he’d never want anything else. Now that he has his baby, he
knows he has everything. Eve is surprised, and she realizes that their house is
finally a home. Smiling, they hold each other and kiss. Kevin asks Rafe if he senses evil. When Rafe answers
that he does, Lucy tells him it’s not Caleb, and begins to tell him about the
end of Caleb. Rafe is wandering around the room while they’re telling him about
Livvie and Eve. This doesn’t surprise Rafe, he knows that most vampire victims
experience dreams. Kevin wants to believe that the dreams will eventually go
away, but Rafe says that it all depends on how badly the victims want them to.
Rafe asks about the broken mirror, and they tell him what happened. When Lucy
admits that she was conjuring up and evil spirit, Rafe tells her that she’s
foolish. Continuing, Rafe tells her that she has no idea what she’s doing, and
she’s making things worse. Livvie didn’t bring him back. She admits that if she
did, it was an accident. Caleb tells her that it’s love. She says she loves
Jack, but Caleb doesn’t want to hear that again. She heard his music, she felt
him, and he insists that she knows that they’re still connected. He’s offended
when she calls him the poison in her
system. Caleb reminds her how she felt when they made love. She hates that she
remembers those things, and wants to know what he wants. Caleb admits he wants
revenge. Lucy wants to know what he means. She’s messing with
things that she doesn’t understand. Kevin is confused, but Rafe asks him if he
understands that a bit of knowledge can be a bad thing. Spirits are cunning.
Lucy’s adamant about the fact that she’s not afraid, but Rafe almost yells at
her that she should be. Rafe lectures her on not knowing enough to be doing
this. Lucy uses rock paper scissors to as an analogy. Rafe is more confused, but
Kevin advises him to go with it. She explains to him that the scissors are
stronger then the paper, etc, and she believes that good is stronger than evil.
He asks Lucy where the evil spirit is, and she can’t tell him exactly where. As
she walks around the room, trying to feel it, Rafe follows her. He finally
corners her and forces her to admit that she doesn’t know. Glaring at her, he
begins the sentence “Once you invite evil in,” and he forces Lucy to finish that
“it can kill you.” Jack is running in blackness that is still his dream.
Livvie is laughing, and he’s trying to find her. But her voice tells him that
you can’t find something that doesn’t want to be found. He’s in a panic trying
to find her, and her laughter continues to echo around him. Smiling, Caleb quotes the bible. “Vengeance is mine.” If
it’s good enough for God, it’s good enough for him. Livvie knew that he had a
compassionate side that understood forgiveness, but Caleb is happy to inform her
that Michael is gone forever. She asks him what he’s going to do, but he’s not
going to lift a finger. Instead, he’s going to cause her friends to hurt
themselves. They’re going to hang themselves with their own human emotions. His
intentions are to plant the seeds of temptation in their minds and force them to
doubt themselves and each other. Livvie begs him to not do this. But he’ll grow
stronger as they all grow weaker. He’ll be back in the flesh and hungry as hell.
He tells her that he’s not going to let her ruin this, and she screams at him to
stay away. Ian is holding Eve on the sofa during a storm. Looking
outside, Eve admits that it’s scary. Ian likes storms, the more afraid she is,
the tighter she holds on to him. She will never forget the second homecoming. A
loud burst of thunder makes her jump, and she makes him promise to always hold
her. As he does, an even louder thunderclap echoes, which wakes the baby. Eve
says it sounded like an explosion. Lucy is torn between tears and terror before Kevin tells
Rafe that his bedside manner needs adjustment. Apologizing, Rafe says that he
didn’t mean to scare her. Rafe agrees to help them, and he starts to give
instructions. Be very still and listen with your body. Let the vibration ride
over you. Lucy senses it before Kevin, but he’s trying to understand. The evil
is there, Kevin wants to know what they do now. Lucy’s not completely kidding
when she offers that her first suggestion is to run. Rafe stops her, telling her
to stand her ground. Slowly, he moves to the mirror and places his hand over it.
Forming a fist, you tells the evil that love and goodness is stronger. The
mirror moves back up to the wall and fixes itself. Lucy goes to it and touches
it, amazed. Jack is still tossing and turning in Livvie’s bed alone.
In the dream, he is screaming for her. Bending down, he finds white rose petals
filled with blood. The trail leads him to Livvie’s nightgown, which is covered
in blood. Crying, he holds it to him and finally believes that he’s lost her.
Livvie threatens to tell everyone about Caleb. He’s not
going to allow her to have any memory of their conversation. But when he’s
stronger, she’ll come back to him. She denies this, but Caleb won’t let death
come between him and his bride. They will have their child, and it will be as
it’s supposed to be. It’s only a matter of time before they’re together again
for eternity. Livvie begins to scream, and Jack wakes up next to her.
She tells him about her dream, and he asks her about it. Somehow she knows how
important that she remembers, but she can’t. Crying, she leans against him and
begs her to hold him. Scenes: Lucy asks Rafe how he fixed the mirror. He explains it
to be like riding a bike. Once you learn it’s hard to remember a time you
couldn’t. Rafe walks in on Livvie and Jack kissing on her bed.
They jump and glare at Rafe, who looks very embarrassed.
