Early Lucky #5 - Jan 23 - June 2, 1995 - 2 hrs 40 mins, SP

Lucky goes to see Lila to about the puppies that Annabelle is going to have (Foster is the father). He tells her he knows three people who would like one of them. Edward comes in blustering, he isn't happy to see Foster (per Luke's orders Foster has to accompany Lucky everywhere for protection). After Edward dismisses Lucky and huffs out, Lila assures Lucky that they will be able to work something out.

Lucky, dressed in a tux, Ruby and Mike all arrive at Luke's for the big opening. BB King performs. Afterwards, Ruby and Lucky congratulate Luke on the success of the evening. Lucky runs into Kelly's with a newspaper that reports that Luke has shot Sean Donnelly. Luke tells Lucky they need to go to Beecher's Corners and tell Laura that she can't come home yet. Lucky explodes in anger. He is tired of not being a big brother to Lulu and living apart from her and his mother and blames Luke for yet another situation that is messing up the normality of his life. Luke tells him he will get it cleared up. Lucky yells that he has been clearing up messes for Lucky's whole life! After reaming Luke pretty good, he calms down but does inist that Luke deal with this latest problem.

Luke and Lucky arrive at the Whitaker's, Laura is thrilled to see them but she is also sick of running and hiding (this time from Joe Scully). Laura tells Luke that she wants Lucky to stay with her, he adamantly refuses and threathens to run away if she tries to force him to stay. So she agrees to him returning to PC, then cries as she tells Luke how much she wants to come home.

Luke & Lucky arrive back at the club. Lucky is obviously very angry about the separation from his mother and sister. He cools down but once again insists that Luke "fix it" so their family can be together. Lucky gets to hang out at the club that night and this time he hears Mary Mae sing (montage of PCers listening to her is shown).

At the Q's, Reggie comes in and reports that the very pregnant Annabelle has run off with Foster. Lucky and Ruby show up to apologize for Foster getting out and try to head him off at the Q's. Lucky makes a list of Foster's favorite places and they agree to start searching they next am. The next morning, Lucky calls Laura and tells her that he has searched everywhere and can't find the dogs. Laura reassures him that going on the run is a Spencer family tradition. Ruby shows up with the news that Foster stopped by Kelly's and took off with 5 lbs of sirloin.

The dogs have taken refuge in a cave. She has had a tiny black puppy. Foster shows up at the Q's and brings Edward back to the cave in the dark, snowy night - he grumbles the whole way. Near the entrance to the cave, Edward slips and falls and breaks his leag. He pulls himself into the cave. Annabelle lays down next to him to keep him warm and shows him her puppy. Edward sends Foster to get help. Lucky is at the club, worrying about the missing Foster when the dog shows up barking. Luke & Lucky follow Foster into the woods. Edward, despite his bluster, snuggles with the puppy. They find Edward, Lucky is thrilled to see the puppy. Lucky stays in the cave with Edward and chatters to keep him awake while Luke goes for help. Luke & Lucky return Annabelle and puppy to the Q's. Lucky visits Edward in the hospital and sits down to negotiate, he wants the puppy. Edward is impressed with his negotiating skills and sarcastically askes if Lucky intends on going to law school. Lucky seriously considers this question, then says no his dad would hate that idea.

Lucky stops by the Q's to talk to Edward about the puppy, Lucky meets Emily. Edward tells Lucky that he will not discuss giving Lucky the puppy until they have Foster neutered. Lucky hates the idea, as does Luke and Foster when Lucky returns home with the latest news. Lucky calls Laura and fills her in on Edward's latest demand. Luke and Lucky go to visit Laura again. Cute improv scene as baby Lulu sticks out her tongue during the scene. Happy reunion that ends with Laura's tears as she once again has to say goodbye to her guys.

At Kelley's, Lucky tells Sly about meeting Emily, about her father's death, and her mother's terminal illness. The boys go to the Q's and meet Paige (Emily's mother). They invite Em to go to Kelley's to meet Foster where they share some chili and get accquainted. Another evening, Lila finds Em sitting alone and she suggests that since Edward is out for the evening that Em invite Lucky and Foster over for a nice long visit with the puppy. They arrive and cuddle with the ever growing puppy who they named Raoul.

Laura returns to PC (against Luke's wishes). Lucky shows up at the house, thrilled to see Laura but realizing she is in much danger. The next am, the Spencers enjoy a moment of rare domestic bliss. That night, Lucky overhears Sonny tell Luke that Scully's men won't negotiate and are out for revenge and to consider this a red alert. Later, as Laura sings a lullabye to her baby, there is a montage of scenes as gunmen shoot up Luke's club, shoot at Brenda in the shower at Sonny's penthouse, they hit the Spencer house. Sonny covers Lucky to protect him, then Sonny and Luke return fire - they get three of the gunmen. Luke goes after the fourth while Sonny hides Lucky in the basement. Laura hides the baby in the closet and gets her shotgun and heads downstairs. Luke is desperate to find her and makes himself a target by going through the house shouting for her. The remaining gunman comes up behind Luke and a shot rings out - seems as though Luke has been shot in the back. But the next scene reveals that Laura had come up behind the gunman and shot him before he could shoot Luke. When it is all over, Luke retrieves a very shaken Lucky who shares a tearful reunion with his mother.

Later, Laura tells Luke that she refuses to run and hide anymore and she will stay in PC. Luke agrees that he should be the one to leave the house since he is the one putting them in danger. Lucky is frightened that this means his parents are seperating. Great goodbye scene between Lucky and Luke, after Luke leaves, Luke sinks to the floor in anguish and fear. Luke returns home for a night to protect his family, and sleeps on the couch. Lucky comes downstairs, worried after overhearing earlier how angry Laura is at Luke. Luke assures him that once the trouble has passed that she will get over the trauma of the guns and the blood. Another evening, Lucky is missing his father and Laura admits that she too misses him. Lucky worries that they will never get back together. Lucky visits Luke at the club. When Luke tells him that the threat from Scully's men is over Lucky doesn't understand why his father isn't coming home. Lucky blames Laura, which Luke won't allow. He continues to assure Lucky that with time Laura would get over the danger her family had been placed in, and that their family life would get back to normal.

At the Spencer's during a storm, Laura is very nervous and tells Lucky she keeps hearing things. He tells her not to worry that he and Foster are on duty. The phone rings and nobody speaks, then the electricity goes out.
