Lulu asked Carly to tell Sonny and Jason that Johnny didn't do this he was with her. The look on Carly's face was stone cold shocked. [Carly probably wanted the love and support of her cousin, what she got was selfish teen angsting over her boyfriend].
• Alice forbids Edward from eavesdropping on Tracy and Claudia. Tracy told she doesn't want Luke in the line of fire, so she is prepared to buy Claudia out. She said that is one way to get her out of his lap. [Remember not to long ago Tracy mistook her for a hooker].
