 The
Nurses Ball Preview, SID 6/29/99
Aside from the spectacular
clothes, showstopping musical acts, and tender remembrances of those who
have been lost to AIDS, this year's Nurses Ball promises to be the
height of embarrassment for Bobbie and Jerry- and the setup for a new
heartbreak for Lucy. At week's start, Lucy asks Emily to screen
her school HIV video project at the ball. But, unbeknowst to them,
the tape Emily retrieves from Tony is of Bobbie and Jerry making love!
Meanwhile,
Carly informs Jason that she is going to the ball with AJ and asks for
her diamonds. But AJ wants to give her gems himself. Later,
pained by Robin's absence, Jason opens up to Carly about Robin's fight
with HIV. At the same time, Lucy confides in Alan that she and
Scotty have alternative parenting plans in the works. Later,
Scotty and Lucy are approved as candidates for adopting just as Janell
asks Tammy to keep an eye on Julie's newborn, Christina. While
Tammy and Alan are watching the baby, they realize that since Scotty and
Lucy are looking to adopt, they should have the child.
 At the
ball, Katherine and Eve conspire to embarrass Lucy during a dance
number. Katherine and Lucy perform "I'm a Woman" and, in
typical fashion, attempt to upstage each other. Jax and Chloe save
the day when they step in for an injured dancing duo. Edward,
Alan, AJ, and Ned perform "I Feel Good," and Edward announces
big news about AJ's ELQ future. Ned and Emily sing "Forever
Young," followed by Mac, Eve, Chris, Felicia, Bobbie, and Tony
performing to "Jump, Jive, and Wail".
Despite Katherine's
weaseling her way into being co-hostess, Lucy still reigns as the
mistress of ceremonies. Due to her closeness to her assistant,
John Hanley, Lucy looks upon the Nurses' Ball as a personal cause,
whereas Katherine just wants the limelight. Unfortunately,
Katherine got Eve to help set up Lucy, causing her to appear once again
in her underwear, confused when they had replaced the traditional chorus
line number with a can-can type number.
 Emily and Ned performed a
nice rendition of "Forever Young".
The interns performed
"Doctor, Doctor", with Chris doing the lead vocal. Other
performers included Ellen, Eve, Karen, and Joe.
Katherine once again
tried to upstage Lucy when the two performed "I'm a Woman".
 Monica is proud over
Emily's AIDS video. Unfortunately for the Quartermaines, Emily had
accidently taped Bobbie and Jerry having sex in the board room,
embarrassing social climber Carly the most.
One of the best acts,
numerous people performed "Jump, Jive, and Wail". Tony
sand the vocal, while Mac, Felicia, Eve, Mike, Bobbie, and Chris did the
dancing part.
Victor, Mary, Serena, and
Neil performed "High Hopes" with the help of some cute little
children.
 After the original
dancers had to back out, Chloe and Jax took their places, performing to
"Cheek to Cheek".
The opening act for the
ball, the Quartermaine men performed "I Feel Good", with AJ
and Ned needling one another during the performance.
As the ball winds down,
Julie sits helplessly in her room aware of the impending jeopardy of
losing her child just as Baby Christina is passed to Lucy."
