Luke & Laura's Return #3  January 24 – March 28, 1994: 8 hours

Lucky sits outside of GH, waiting for Laura. Foster comes up to him and Lucky and him begin bonding. When Laura comes out, she shakes her head no as Lucky begins begging to take the dog home. As they go over to the car, Foster follows and lays his head on the car door, begging to go home with them. Laura almost gives in then tells Lucky they just can’t and he must belong to someone.

Laura and Lucky meet Luke at Kelly’s. Jagger stops by the table and introduces them to Karen. Brenda asks AJ about the new family and he fills her in on Luke’s reputation. Luke invites Laura to go with him to meet and negotiate with a Russian at a club. Luke introduces Laura as “Lulu”. The Russian asks L&L to enjoy themselves first and to go dance (Tony Geary does the hippest Russian footwork I’ve ever seen!). After the dancing, Luke begins negotiations with the Russian to buy his helicopter. Negotiations aren’t going well and stall. Laura suggests dancing with Misha, the Russian, and works her magic on him to make the deal happen. Afterwards, he compliments Luke on Laura’s negotiating skills.

Luke is surprised that Laura went to the trouble of saving Frank Smith all of that money. She says she just can’t resist a bargain. Luke meets with Sonny and tells him he closed the deal. Sonny snarks, “That is not what I heard!” He tells Luke that Misha reports that the real negotiator was a blond woman with a million dollar smile and that she drove a hard bargain. Sonny tells Luke that Frank was doing back flips he was so happy with how much he saved.

Laura tells Luke that Lucky has been slacking off and is not making progress in his recovery. Lucky and Laura see Foster again as they arrive at GH for his next therapy session. Foster runs across the street towards them when he sees the Spencers and is hit by a car. Lucky screams in horror and gets out of the car and walks for the first time since the shooting, and stumbles towards Foster. Laura assures both of them it is going to be okay.

She runs into GH and calls for help for an accident victim. Steve Hardy is a bit surprised to find his next patient is a dog! He tells Laura that the dog needs a vet surgeon fast as they suspect the dog has internal injuries! Lucky is still on his feet and continues to reassure Foster and is very tender with him. They take him out to Laura’s car while Laura checks up on her suddenly walking son. He tells her he promised Foster that he would take car of him.

The vet tells them that he has some internal injuries and a dislocated hip. Lucky begs Laura to help the dog and she agrees to the surgery. Lucky goes in and comforts Foster and tells him about the surgery. Afterwards, the vet tells Lucky that Foster is restless and suggests that he can help calm Foster. Lucky sits with Foster and gets him to lay down and relax. Laura tries to get Lucky to go home with her. He flat out refuses to leave Foster. She tells him that he can’t stay there all night. He points out that she stayed with him while he was in the hospital.

Laura winds up staying with the dog till midnight, then leaves Lucky there to spend the night curled up next to the dog. The next morning, the vet reports that Foster will be just fine. She comments she has rarely seen such an immediate strong bond between a dog and a boy. Lucky begins begging once again to keep the dog and Laura agrees but warns that Luke will have to agree but the dog can come home with them in the meantime (Luke is out of town). The vet tells them that he is a French Mastiff, a dog of war. Lucky surmises that Luke will like that!

Once home, they decide to call him Foster (since Laura declares she has a new Foster child). Luke comes home and as he tries to enter the house, Foster begins growling at Luke. He closes the door and rings the bell. Laura lets him in and when she lets him in, he complains about being greeted by the hound of the Baskervilles. Luke is shocked to learn that Lucky is walking because of the ugly mutt! He declares he likes the dog and bends down to pet him and the dog growls at him again. Luke reverses his decision and says he doesn’t like the dog. Lucky asks his dad to give the dog a chance to warm up to him.

Lucky begins selling Luke on what a great watchdog he will be and he will protect him and Laura when Luke is away. Laura informs him that Foster is a dog of war from the middle ages and the breed was trained to rip out people’s throats. Luke is glad to hear the dog has a trade. Luke reluctantly agrees to give it a couple of days and see if he and the dog can come to an understanding. Lucky is thrilled!

The next morning, Luke finds Foster sitting in the hallway and when he bends down to say good morning to the dog, his greeting is returned by a growl. Luke growls back. In return, as Luke is in the shower, Foster pees in his boot! Laura gets to know Mary Mae as she tells her about her affair long ago with Bradley’s father (later we learn it was Edward Quartermaine). Luke also talks to her about the disappearance of her son, Bradley back in the 1970’s.

AJ tells Luke that Damian has evidence against the family and asks him to sneak into Damian’s room and steal it back. Luke snarks that he doesn’t even like the Q’s, except for Lila, so why should he help them?  AJ offers to pay him $100,000. Luke asks Bobbie to distract Damian while he sneaks into his hotel room. She calls while he is up there and tells him that Damian is on his way up. Then Bobbie, Laura, Tiffany, and all the ladies celebrate with Felicia at her bachelorette party.

Meanwhile, Luke joins Sean, Kevin, Jagger, Tony, and Mac for a poker bachelor party for Mac. Luke tells Mac that Kevin is cheating at cards! Luke pulls a switch beating Kevin at his own game. Kevin is irate and stomps off after accusing Luke of cheating when he wins a big hand. Kevin is seen making a bomb (all very un-Kevin like behavior)!

Luke tells Laura that he is off to CT with Sonny and will miss Mac and Felicia’s wedding. Luke sits down to put his shoes on and Foster starts growling at him as he doesn’t like him sitting in that chair. Luke gives in and moves to another chair. Luke is annoyed when Sonny arrives and Foster doesn’t growl at him! Sonny goes right up to him and makes nice and Foster is very accepting of Sonny.

Sean is called to see Ryan in the psychiatry facility. Kevin tries to convince Sean that he is Kevin and Ryan has escaped and taken his place. Sean believes it is just another one of Ryan’s demented games to disrupt Felicia & Mac’s wedding. Kevin describes in detail the night the he met Kevin. Sean is given the results of Kevin’s fingerprints proving he is really Kevin!

Sean tells Kevin to go to his hotel room as him showing up at the wedding will just agitate Ryan further. Sean heads over to the church, he calls Garcia while he is en route but gets in a car accident before he fills everyone in on Ryan’s escape. Sean is knocked unconscious and taken to GH.

Laura and Lucky arrive at Felicia and Mac’s wedding. Amy, then Paul, Jenny and Sly soon join them. The wedding begins, little Maxie is the flower girl, Lucas is the ring bearer,  Tiffany and Robin are bridesmaids, and Bobbie is the maid of honor. (Note: I edited some of the wedding down to just the highlights, the complete two episode show is available separately – this was a great wedding, lots of actions, lots of favorite characters).

As Mac & Felicia are about to be married, Kevin bursts and tackles Ryan. As they struggle, Laura thinks quickly and she ushers out Sly, Lucky, Robin, Lucas, and Maxie (while everyone else sits quietly in the church watching the drama unfold). Paul grabs Ryan (who insists that he is Kevin), and Mac grabs Kevin. Ryan gets free and grabs Felicia. He shows everyone the bomb attached to him and threatens that he will blow the church up.

Mac jumps him, grabs the bomb, Paul calls out to him from the back of  the church, Mac heaves the explosives, Paul catches the bomb and runs out of the church and an explosion is heard. Jenny cries in relief when Paul re-enters the church.  Ryan gets free and runs up to the balcony, Mac heads off after him, they struggle and fall over the balcony. Tony tells Mac that he has a broken arm and a concussion. When Mac realizes he and Felicia aren’t getting married, he offers the church to Paul and Jenny who take their place.

Luke doesn’t go to the wedding as he and Sonny go undercover as Italian boatmen to grab a guy on Frank’s orders and bring him back to Port Charles. The guy admits he is a doctor, and Luke wants to know why he is working for Frank? Sonny keeps telling Luke not to ask questions as its better he doesn’t know about the operation. The doctor wants out and says he has changed his mind.

Everyone gathers at the Outback for the wedding reception. Bobbie compliments Laura on her quick thinking, she explains it is years of conditioning to immediately react. Laura offers to have Sly stay with them while Paul and Jenny go on their honeymoon. Everyone dances to “Lucky Man” as someone plays the sax beautifully (sorry not sure who the musician is).

Luke brings the doctor back to Port Charles and he is hidden out in a hotel. The nervous doctor continues to avoid answering Luke’s questions so Luke brings Foster in to intimidate him into answering. The doctor worries that Frank will have him killed if he talks, but Luke points out that Foster is a much more immediate threat. The doctor admits he has lost his medical license and is now forced to deal with crooks like Frank. Luke figures out that he is a plastic surgeon and Frank intends on changing his appearance and disappearing. Luke and Foster bond over a t-bone steak and Foster helping Luke get the information he wants.

Luke returns home and fills Laura in on Frank’s plan. Luke intends on stopping Frank’s escape plan. Laura worries that they will then continue to be on the run as Frank will be out for blood. Luke says no that this doctor is so neurotic that if it works it right, that Frank will believe Luke is loyal to him and Frank will wind up in a deep dark hole never to see the light of day again.

On Valentine’s Day, Luke and Lucky surprise Laura with a Spencer game show “Is Your Heart In The Right Place?” complete with prizes. The first question is, “What was the very first wedding band that your husband gave you made from?” Laura correctly answers, “Paper”. Lucky is disappointed to hear this piece of info, “Paper” he queries. Luke is thrilled Laura is correct and reveals that she has won a new stove!

The next question, “In a barn in Beecher’s Corners what dangerously handsome man did you sleep with?” Laura answers, “Lloyd Johnson at the Whitaker Farm.” Lucky is shocked to hear that that his mother slept with another man, till Laura clarifies that Luke was Lloyd, one of his aliases. Luke reveals that she has won a new dishwasher! She is thrilled.

Luke asks Lucky where he was born? Lucky snarks that is too easy, and says, “Texas”. He wins a CD player. Luke then asks, “Where on earth did she spend the night before their marriage?” This one comes with a flashback of that night as they snuggle on the dock together. When she responds, “on the waterfront dock of Port Charles”, he reveals a refrigerator/freezer! She is thrilled and says she now has everything she wants. She plants a big kiss on Luke and Lucky excuses himself to go upstairs and hurl.

Later, Laura and Luke enjoy being alone together. He asks her to try out her icemaker. She puts some ice in a cup and then notices something inside of one of the ice cubes, diamonds! Sonny interrupts and tells Luke he has really put his foot in it. He says that the doctor went to Sean’s and that it looks like Luke turned him. Luke denies it all, Sonny points out that Luke was the last person seen going into the doctor’s hotel room. He warns Luke that if Frank believes that Luke ruined his escape plan that Luke is a dead man. Luke determines that he will just have to come up with another plan. He later tells Laura that he will make sure the alternate escape plan doesn’t work!

Luke gives Laura an envelope of cash for her to donate to the Ward House. She is thrilled as that amount will really help Mary Mae. Laura goes over to see her and give her the gift. Mary Mae is thrilled though Laura admits she isn’t quite sure where the money came from. Laura tells her about enrolling in a Social Worker program and asks to do her internship at the Ward House, Mary May happily agrees. Ruby stops by to see Luke and is introduced to Foster.

#2B Luke admits to Ruby that is back up against the wall and he may have to kill Frank. Ruby is against this idea as he could go to jail for murder. Luke visits Frank in jail, he immediately accuses Luke of betraying him. Luke does a very sincere job of illustrating what a fruitcake the doctor was. Frank had the doctor watched and knows that Luke went to see him. Luke says that he knew how unhinged the doctor was and went to the hotel to check on him and found him on the ledge. He even went to fill a prescription of tranquilizers to calm him down. Frank doesn’t seem to be in the forgiving mood.

Luke continues with his plan to break Frank out of jail and lays it all out for him. Luke promises that if Frank gives him the go-ahead that he will break Frank out of jail himself to prove that he didn’t have anything to do with the doctor turning on him. Frank snorts at the thought of trusting Luke. Luke points out that he has done ever job Frank has asked of him. Frank snarks that he had help, referring to Sonny. Luke admits that is true but that Sonny is green. Frank doesn’t have much choice and so agrees to go along with Luke’s plan but warns him what will happen if Luke betrays him.

Sonny stops in Kelly’s for a sandwich. Ruby warns Sonny that if he ever double-crosses Luke or harms a hair on his head that he will answer to her. Sonny gingerly examines his sandwich before taking a bite, worried what Ruby might have put in it! Luke joins Sonny, who complains to Luke that Ruby doesn’t like him much. Luke fills him in on his plan to break Frank out and asks for his help. Sonny is surprised that Frank agreed to Luke’s help and says, “Remind me not to buy any bridges from you”. On his way out, Luke calls to Ruby, “Put my coffee on Commissioner Donnelly’s tab!”

Luke comes home to find Foster sprawled out on the couch. He tries to get Foster to move but the dog ignores him and Luke is unsuccessful in trying to move him. Luke resorts to bribing the dog with a bone and dives into the couch when the dog goes after it. The door rings and as soon as Luke gets up to answer it, Foster jumps back up on the couch.

Sonny stops by to confer with Luke. He is surprised when Laura tells Luke about a safe house she found while hiking with the boys out in the woods, it is an abandoned old mill. Sonny surmises that Luke tells Laura everything but is puzzled as he knows that she is against Luke working for Frank. She hedges that her and Luke share everything, and Luke doesn’t have much choice where Frank is concerned. Sonny watches her carefully as he asks if Luke’s current plan is a setup? Laura doesn’t miss a step and smoothly assures him that it is a legitimate plan not giving anything away. Sonny is impressed by her coolness.

Later, Luke and Laura talk about the plan in front of Ruby. She hates the idea and tells him there are enough holes in his plan to drive his getaway car through! Sonny returns and he and Luke go over the plan again. Luke tells Sonny that they need someone they can trust to drive the second car that will wait for them in the woods. Sonny suggests Stone as someone completely loyal to him. Luke thinks he is too young and then suddenly remembers that he is Jagger’s brother, a budding cop, and hates the idea. Sonny convinces him that he is the best choice and Luke grudgingly agrees.

Sonny visits Frank in jail and fills him in. Frank is still very suspicious of Luke’s intentions and doesn’t like the part of the plan that will leave him alone with Luke. Sonny assures him that Luke is on the level. Frank suggests that after the job that he might have Sonny whack Luke.

Sonny holds back any reaction and questions why? Frank reports there is bad blood between him and Luke that goes way back. Sonny points out that if the job goes off that there is no reason to take out Luke. Sonny continues that Laura is so well connected in town and she would never let Luke’s murder go. Frank says the only reason he wouldn’t do it is for Laura’s sake but that she is young and pretty and she would get over Luke’s death. After Sonny leaves, it is obvious he is disturbed.

Sonny heads over to Luke’s and tells him that there can’t be any surprises or any hidden agendas. Luke hears the warning as Sonny tells him that he wouldn’t want to have to take him out. Luke says he wouldn’t want to have him try. Luke gets out his gun and cleans it as Foster growls at this development. Foster jumps up into Luke’s chair as Luke yells at him to get down.

Laura is over at Mary Mae’s and gets teary over a picture one of the children drew. She apologizes that she has been weepy lately and she hasn’t felt like this since……she pauses and then she is suddenly quiet as the realization dawns on her. Mary Mae quietly asks if she is pregnant?

Laura heads home and one look at her face, Luke asks what is going on as she looks like she has seen a ghost. Laura tells him that she is pregnant. He is thrilled and hugs her in joy, and she is relieved that he is happy about it as she wasn’t sure how he would feel. Luke observes, “Look what we produced the first time!” Laura is excited about telling Lucky that he will have a baby brother or sister and knows he will love the idea.

Luke suggests that he would consider canceling the job of breaking Frank out of jail. She says no that getting out from under Frank is more important now than ever. She refuses to raise another child under the specter of Frank Smith’s threats. She wants to be free to raise their family in peace. Luke agrees that they go forward with the plan.

Luke heads over and tells Ruby the good news. She is thrilled for them and looks forward to babysitting. She wants to know if the job is still on and did he tell Laura that he plans on killing Frank himself? He says that yes the job is on as the stakes are more important now than ever and no he can’t tell Laura about killing Frank. He tells Ruby that he has no choice, he has to get Frank. But Luke worries what it would do to Laura if he didn’t come back.

The next morning, Laura becomes nauseous over the smell of bread. Luke laughs that he can understand cigarette smoke but wheat? Lucky doesn’t understand what they are talking about. Luke tells Lucky that they feel he has waited long enough and he will have a sibling that summer. Lucky wants to know what it is? Luke says he is hoping for a boy or a girl.

When Lucky asks how this happened, Luke wonders if he has been lacking in sex education. Lucky clarifies that he knows all about sex. He explains that there were older boys at school (14 years), and they had pictures. Luke is at an unusual loss for words so Laura steps in. She explains about the deep commitment of love and wanting to be close to someone and creating a baby out of that love. She does a beautiful job of communicating to Lucky that he was born out of love. She goes on to advise him that the pictures he saw weren’t real, they were a fantasy and he shouldn’t expect that (when the time comes).

Lucky is relieved to learn about the pregnancy as he is sure this means they are safe. After all, his parents are smart enough not to have a baby if they were still in danger. Luke asks if she is still okay with him doing this job? She doesn’t like the idea but doesn’t see any option and she doesn’t want this child growing up living in fear. She tells Luke that she has absolute faith in him. Laura wants to plant a rose garden, and imagines sitting out in it after the baby is born, with Luke, Lucky, Foster, and the new baby. She seems very happy and content (other than the Frank Smith threat).

Laura visits with Mary Mae and gets emotional again. Mae Mae laughs about how strong the hormones can be. Laura admits it isn’t just hormones, that there is real trouble for them. Mae Mae asks if she is happy about the baby? Mae Mae says that is the most important thing. Laura says she loves Luke with all of her heart, and if something happened to him that she would find a way to go on but if Lucky was killed or if something happened to her baby she wouldn’t get over it. Mae Mae agrees that she buried two husbands but that didn’t prepare her for the depth of pain when she lost her son, Bradley.

Mary Mae asks about what has Laura so shook up? She tells them about their past with Frank Smith. She shares how Luke was working for Frank and that he was about to cross over the line as he had been ordered to kill someone in cold blood. She tells Mary Mae that she stopped him, though Mae doesn’t think he would have done it. Laura goes on that they double-crossed Frank and he has chased them over three continents in the last three years. She has felt guilty over not being able to give her son any stability. She continues that Lucky is like his father and he thrives on the excitement and adventure but Laura longs to settle down into one place. She fills Mary Mae in on the trouble in Canada and how Lucky had to make his way to Port Charles by himself, that is when she knew that they just couldn’t keep running any longer.

Sonny visits Frank and fills him in on Luke’s plan. Frank doesn’t like the safe house idea as he doesn’t trust Luke. Sonny says it is a slick plan, Frank admits it is and it is too bad that Sonny will have to take Luke out after the escape. Its obvious this idea doesn’t sit well with Sonny.

Luke and Laura go over the scenarios, of having money and their documents ready if they have to leave town in a hurry. Luke gives her a safe deposit key in case something happens to him. She worries that is the worst-case scenario. He tells her that he believes she will be safe if something does happen to him as he thinks Frank will honor that part of the deal. She asks if she should have Lucky’s backpack ready? He says yes but at the look at her face, he promises her they aren’t going to run again. He intends on making her dream of having a home and roots happen. With tears in her eyes she says, “Promise me your going to come back?” He laughs that he is only going to the bank.

Sonny argues for Luke, that he is a good guy. Sonny points out that he has done jobs for him and that Luke has talent and Sonny hates to see that go to waste. Frank doesn’t trust Luke and blames him for being in jail as Luke put him there. Sonny points out that Luke has lived up to his end of the deal. Frank demands that Sonny consider if he wants to continue to work for Frank’s organization? Sonny assures him he does. Frank threatens that if he continues to argue for Luke that Frank will start to question Sonny’s loyalty. He continues that if Sonny doesn’t take Luke out after the jailbreak, that Frank will be shopping for a coffin big enough for both of them!

Sonny shows up to talk to Luke and offers to wait on the porch when he isn’t home. Laura invites him inside as it is too cold to sit outside. Sonny notices that Laura is visibly upset and asks her if it is about the job. She tells him that she is pregnant and she is worried that this child will have to grow up not knowing his father. He promises her that Luke will come home okay. He tells her that he is happy for her baby, and offers to sit outside and wait. She insists that he is welcome to stay in the house but he says he enjoys the cold and goes outside to wait. A troubled Sonny stands on the porch.

When Luke returns, Sonny warns Luke that when Frank gets out that Luke shouldn’t turn his back on Frank. Luke says, “Say again?” Sonny replies that he hadn’t said anything. Luke gets the message and says he didn’t hear anything and says, “Thanks”. Luke goes in the house, and Laura suggests they cancel Frank’s breakout due to the snowstorm. He tells her he can’t do that.

Robin tells Jagger that Stone is going to do a job that is “a big time thing”. Robin got the impression that it is something important and dangerous. Robin tells Jagger that it is schedule for today, before Jagger’s wedding to Karen. Robin apologizes for dropping this on him the day of his wedding. He is grateful for the information and heads out to find his brother.

Later, Luke comes out in his Marshall’s disguise and flirts with Laura. He assures her again and takes off as she worried prepares herself to wait. Luke meets up with Sonny and gives him his Marshall ID. Sonny warns him to stay sharp around Frank, Luke suggests Sonny stay sharp as well.

Tiffany stops by and Laura tells her that she is pregnant. Tiffany is thrilled but as her eyes fill up with tears, Laura apologizes. She doesn’t want to bring up the pain of Tiffany’s miscarriage but she so badly wanted to tell Tiffany. She assures Laura that she is very happy for her. Laura asks if Tiffany will try to get pregnant again and she says yes that she would like to try again. She continues if she can’t get pregnant that she would adopt. Laura asks Tiffany if she would be the baby’s godmother? Tiffany is touched but asks if Laura is sure that Luke wants that? Laura assures her he does. Tiffany happily agrees.

Frank and Sonny arrive at the prison and are able to get Frank released into their custody under the pretense of a prison transfer. They are walking out of the facility when they get confirmation that the transfer wasn’t authorized and the alarms go off and the guys make a break for it. Shots are fired and Sonny is hit. Luke tries to help Sonny who tells him to take off and Sonny will meet him later.

Jagger has followed Stone and knocked him out to stop him from doing the job for Sonny. They leave the van and Jagger puts him on the back of his bike. They take off but when Stone passes out again, the bike crashes sending Jagger and Stone flying. Jagger lays unconscious in the snow, badly wounded.

Sean shows up looking for Luke while Laura feigns ignorance. Sean goes to sit in his car to wait for Luke and listen to his police radio. Laura sends Lucky out to talk to Sean and asks him to ask Sean about every detail about police work and how Sean became commissioner. She emphasizes every detail. He gets the drift and realizes that he is covering for something. Laura agrees and off he goes.

Luke and Frank arrive at the old mill. Luke gives him a packet with his money and papers. Frank demands to know where his gun is? Luke says he is the only one with a gun and pulls out his own piece. Suddenly Frank (who has been demanding and complaining throughout the entire escape) is very mellow, very conciliatory and willing to negotiate. Luke is about to kill Frank when Laura runs in and begs Luke not to kill Frank. She tells Luke that Sean is waiting in their driveway and if he kills Frank that there is no way he will get away with it. Frank grabs Laura and holds her info front of him, daring Luke to shoot him.

Luke makes an agreement to give Frank the keys if he will let Laura go. They make the trade, Frank escapes, and a relieved Luke hugs his wife tightly. Laura tells Luke that he has to take care of Sean’s questions and she will go call in an anonymous tip of Frank’s location. Sean is very suspicious of Luke’s involvement in the breakout. Luke is worried about Frank’s retribution, Laura is sure that Frank will be most worried about getting away from the cops. Laura is adamant that they stay put and they will just figure something out by the time Frank comes for them or sends muscle.

Bobbie shows up and can’t believe that Luke and Laura are so calmly sitting in their living room when Frank has escaped. Luke assures her that Frank is just worried about escaping right now. Bobbie asks what about next week? Again, puzzled about their lack of concern. Luke jokes that they could take Damian hostage and hold him in the basement and have Foster guard him.

Bobbie tells him that she has been trying to get information out of Damian and she has a lead about Jennifer Smith, Frank’s daughter. (History note, Luke was engaged to Jennifer back in 1980 and it was during their failed wedding on the yacht when Scotty found out that Luke had raped Laura and Laura had been lying to him, he punched Luke sending him flying overboard. This kicked off the Left Handed Boy summer on the run storyline). Luke is very concerned about Bobbie getting involved with Damian. She assures him that she can take care of herself. Damian is underwriting the Nurse’s Ball and Tony wants her to join that committee and this would be a great opportunity for her to try to get more information about Jennifer’s whereabouts out of him.

Bobbie soon calls and gives Luke the name of the casino that Jennifer owns in Atlantic City. They head out and Laura is having an attack of jealously over his former relationship with Jennifer. Laura begins wigging out and tells Luke she knows that he wasn’t originally attracted to her looks, that he liked her mind and then later he grew to be attracted to her. Luke is looking at her like she has lost her mind (though guess that is not a joking matter in Laura’s case). He asks, “How can you sit there with that face and say that?” Then she completely snaps and says that he has no perspective when it comes to her (meaning he is biased). He is looking at her again in bemusement at the mood swings and then remembers that she is pregnant, “Geesh, no hormone problems here”.

They arrive at the casino, and Laura plays roulette and wins. While Luke is away, Billy (played by Tom Arnold as Jennifer’s husband) flirts with Laura at the table. Luke and Jennifer (played hysterically by Roseanne Barr) arrive at the same time. When Jennifer recognizes Luke, she grabs him and sweeps him into a big kiss. She invites Luke and Laura to stay at her house and they accept.

Once there, Billy proceeds to chase Laura around while Jennifer

tackles him on the couch and wants to make out with him. Laura evades Billy and runs back into the living room. She calls them on their relationship and suggests they need to work on their marriage. While she distracts them, Luke finds the safe and cracks it and says, “Jackpot”.

Laura suggests that all of the anger they are expressing towards each other is actually passion. They look at each other and lust fills their eyes, they grab each other as “Fever” starts to play. They forget all about Laura and head to the couch. Laura sneaks away to join Luke and she asks if he found enough evidence to hold over Frank’s head. He tells her that he has plenty to send Jennifer to prison and Frank dotes on his daughter. Luke plans on making sure if anything happens to him that the Feds will get the info on Jennifer.

Back home, Sonny contacts Luke and they meet and catch up on what happened to each other the night of the escape.
