When the site for an important Crimson photo shoot falls through at the last minute, Kate sets up shop in the Metro Court lobby, with Maxie and Lulu in tow. The two assistants are running around trying to make sure everything is going right for the model, photographer, and of course their boss, when Carly walks in demanding to know what’s going on. After learning that Kate took over the lobby without permission, she tells Kate and everyone associated with the shoot to get out. Kate counters by saying that the shoot was so last minute, that she couldn’t wait for Jax or Carly to return the messages she left and had to make a decision. Also, the photos would be great publicity for the hotel.
Carly didn’t care how Kate spun it, she wanted everyone out. Then Jax showed up and was caught between the women: his wife with the grudge against Kate, and his business partner who had overstepped a bit. As Jax tried to explain both sides to the women, Carly accuses Kate of setting up the shoot as a way to get to Jax and the two start taking personal shots at each other. Finally Jax tells Kate that she shouldn’t be discussing his and Carly’s personal life, and tells Carly to let the shoot continue.
While the drama unfolds with Carly, Jax, and Kate, Lulu starts taking bets on who is going to win. Maxie protests, saying Lulu is a traitor to Kate for betting against her. The two continue their personal/professional battle with each other until Maxie send Lulu to pick up proofs from the photography lab. Lulu takes the opportunity to play hooky with Johnny and take him to the Quartermaine boat house for some aquatic fun.
Maxie finds out what’s up when Tracy shows up at the shoot to tell Carly to keep Lulu away from Johnny and they’re at the boat house as they speak. Instead of getting mad to find out Lulu ditched work, Maxie throws on a two-piece and heads to the Quartermaines' to crash the couple’s good time.
The more this story unfolds, the more I am not liking Lulu as a character. I know she’s young and impetuous, but this self-involvement streak that she has and the way she flies off the handle at the littlest provocation is wearing on me – much like Epiphany’s constant presence around Robin is wearing on her.

I have to disagree with you about Nancy Grahn.
I think Alexis is typical of GH's emotionally stunted characters. Luke has never grown up- he's a 60something alcoholic wannabe frat boy. Sonny is still an angry child. Jason is a brooding psychopath. Carly is a spoiled, self-centered bitch, Sam is a scheming conniver. Lucky is a simpleton. Liz is sanctimonious and hypocritical.
The only characters with growth potential seem to be the 2 Zaccara kids, Spinelli, Lulu, and Logan- in his diminished role.
Their interactions can breed complexity, but, as themselves, they are disappointments.
