From Mala Bhattacharjee
Do you still hear the lambs screaming, Clarice? Er, I mean, do you hear the Luke fans screaming? If you're like me, and you were casually watching AS THE WORLD TURNS while doing other things, you may have missed a "surprise" on today’s episode. And, don't worry, unlike "Surprise! We killed Dusty!" or "Surprise! Martha Byrne's leaving!” this was a good thing. A thing that even I didn't know was coming because the coy Misters Hansis and Silbermann didn't spill even the slightest hint when I last asked about Nuke's intimacy issues. They should work for the CIA (or the ICE).

I should have known something was up when Luke was giving Noah That Look (anyone who has watched Van Hansis in scenes for more than five minutes knows exactly what I'm talking about). But since he gives him That Look frequently, I shrugged it off. Good thing I looked back at the TV in time! I don't really want to give it away, but it's probably up on YouTube already, so here goes. SPOILER ALERT: Our favorite repressed young gay boys actually got to show some open affection. You know, the kind where boy lips meet boy lips? Yes, the six-month dry spell is over! Let the people rejoice! Nuke lovers, beat your "ATWT is being homophobic" swords into ploughshares, please.

I just have one bone of contention: Uh, guys, if you're going to get all lovey-dovey with each other, must you do it in the middle of Old Town where the ICE could see you? While I can appreciate the devil-may-care urge for a little pre-nookie (or would that be "Nukie?") canoodling, get a room! Get a dressing room! They were just in Fashions, after all. I'm sure Lisa wouldn't mind. In fact, maybe she'll join me in breaking out the Chianti and fava beans and rewatching my tape...
