Liveblogging "As The World Turns" : "I've Changed My Mind. Get Me Out of This Idiot!"

In a stunning medical role-reversal, a human heart has been transplanted into a baboon! Will Reid's heart reject its new body? Wouldn't you?
Meanwhile, will there be drama at The Oakdale Pond for Melancholy Gays™?
Join us and refresh for updates!
2:05PM EST: Kim and Bob continue to pretend they ever cared about Reid.
Noah visits Luke at TOPFMG, and says how sorry he is, and that he can't imagine what he must be going through. Luke says "no, I don't think you can ... bitch." Okay, I added that last word.
John and Lucinda have a great "John and Lucinda" scene about what a shrew she is.
Lily and Holden have tracked down Reid's uncle Angus and tells him that Reid is dead. Angus acts like he doesn't care, but he's obviously devastated.
Chris demands to know whose heart he has, and Katie tells him "Reid." Chris scratches his head and then flings poop at Katie.
2:15PM EST: Noah asks "Is there anything I can do?" Luke says "How good are you at bringing back the dead?" Noah scratches his head and flings poop at Luke.
Noah tells him "maybe you just need your space now," and Luke says "you can do what you want, I don't care." Noah responds "I can hang." Oh Noah, don't give me an easy shot like that.
Katie explains what happened to Reid, and that he was on his way to pick up a heart when he was hit by a train. Chris blames himself. Please, continue.
2:25PM EST: Lily and Holden try to explain the relationship between Reid and Luke to Angus. "Luke loved Reid." "What do you mean?" "And Reid loved Luke." "I'm not following you." "Reid and Luke loved each other." "Who did what now?"
Luke lists all of the things he and Reid never got to do together. "Swimming, bowling, tennis, ball game, movies ... oh yeah, and we never had sex." Noah is startled, and asks why not. Luke mumbles something that sounds like "Proctor & Gamble."
Noah says "it's no secret that Reid and I had our issues, but if it wasn't for him, I wouldn't be looking at you right now, and Chris wouldn't be alive. Believe me when I say that Reid is a hero to me." Luke laughs sarcastically and says "why does everyone keep saying that? Reid was not a hero."

2:35PM EST: Oh dear, Luke is breezing right through those STAGES OF GRIEF. First denial, now anger. Lots of anger directed towards Reid. How could he be so stupid to try and beat a train? Why couldn't he wait 30 seconds? Noah hugs him and tries to calm him down.
Lily and Holden explain that Reid was a changed man because of love. But they need Angus' permission to let Luke bury him. Angus says "let me get this straight. Reid and this Luke person were ... co-workers?"
Chris can't believe that he owes Reid such a debt. Katie tells him "You owe Reid joy! Every breath you take, every step you make ... he'll be watching you!"
2:45PM EST: Angus agrees to give Luke Reid's body, and he then reveals that he was pretty much an abusive monster when Reid was a kid, and he gives them a Reid keepsake to give to Luke - a chess piece.
Luke apologizes to Noah and says "don't you have a plane to catch?" Noah tells him "I'll catch another."
Chris asks Katie "Now that I have Reid's heart in my chest, will I start eating junk food and act like a horse's ass?" You should be so lucky.
2:55PM EST: Somehow Lily and Holden are back in Oakdale and at the pond with Luke and Noah. Luke has Reid's ashes, and has decided to place some at the cornerstone of the new hospital wing, and the rest are "going to be here with me. We're finally going to get that swim." Okay, that's a hard scene to get through.
Meanwhile, Chris is gloating about his "charmed life."
Luke is done spreading Reid's ashes, and pulls the chess piece from his pocket and says "goodbye Reid."
Preview Time: The end is nigh!
