Wyndemere:
Bobbie:(as Stefan enters)I felt you get up out of bed early, this 
morning.
Stefan:I went for a ride. It usually helps me to clear my head and 
think. I've come up with a plan to get us out of this mess, only I don't 
think you're going to like it.
Bobbie:I thought we were going to try and get our hands on that tape.
Stefan:Upon thinking on that I realized Mother would expect that of me 
and take measures to insure that I failed. So we have to do something 
she won't expect.
Bobbie:Boy, Stefan, you and your mother have one weird relationship. All 
right, what is this plan you came up with.
Stefan:I want you to convince Jones you still have a thing for him.
Bobbie:Stefan, are you nuts? The man kidnapped me, he tried to rape me, 
he terrorized me for weeks and he put a dead body in my bed. Just being 
in the same room with him makes my skin crawl. Why would you even 
suggest something like that.
Stefan:Barbara, my mother loved my father and because she did she put up 
with his endless string of peccadilloes and welcomed him back into her 
bed with open arms whenever they ended. But she doesn't love Jones. She 
only married him to get at me. And she won't put up with hiim playing 
around on her behind her back or betraying her in any way.
Bobbie:Stefan, I'm not sleeping with Tony, if that's what you're 
suggesting. Even if I were still working the streets, there wouldn't be 
enough money in the world to make me sleep with him.
Stefan:I'm not suggesting that you do, Barbara. We both know the man is 
obsessed with you. What I'm suggesting is that you play him. You make 
him think he's still got a chance with you. Tell him you'll leave me and 
come back to him if he gives you that tape, then you, he and Lucas can 
be a real family, again. Dangle that carrot under his nose. Promise him 
what he wants most. Then he'll be willing to do anything you want to get 
it.
Bobbie:You really think I can convince Tony to hand over that tape.
Stefan:No, if I know my mother and trust me I do, she won't let Jones 
know where she's keeping it, since deep down she knows Jones isn't very 
trustworthy.
Bobbie:They why do you want me to try and get Tony to get us that tope 
when you know he has no way of knowing where it is.
Stefan;Because he'll try to find it to get what he wants. You. And by 
doing so, we'll be dividing and conquering my mother and Jones. Will be 
turning my mother against Jones. If she even suspects Jones is being 
disloyal to her she'll turn on him so fast it'll makes Jones' head spin. 
At the very least, she'll make sure he spends the rest of his life 
behind bars. And at the worst, she'll personally gullet him.

Sonny's Room, General Hospital:
Luke(enters as Sonny's getting dressed)Babe told me you collapsed at the 
club, last night. Are you all right?
Sonny:Yeah, I'm fine. In fact, I'm about to be released in a few 
moments.
Luke:(looks around)Where's Sweet Caroline. I didn't see her outside, 
either. Surely, she's not going to let you drive home alone. Isn't she 
spoiling her devoted bride act.
Sonny:I asked the hospital not to notify Carly that I was admitted. In 
fact, last night I called Carly and told her I was spending the night at 
the club.
Luke:All right, what gives. Why didn't you want Carly to know you passed 
out at the club and were rushed to the hospital. By the way, do the 
doctors know why you went down for the count the way you did?
Sonny:Yes, they tell me I was suffering from a drug overdose.
Luke:No way, you don't even take so much as an aspirin. Did you tell 
them they made a mistake.
Sonny:You haven't heard yet just what drug I was suffering an overdose 
from. Viagra.
Luke:The sex pill! That's ridiculous. From what you told me about your 
sex life, lately, you're engine is running just fine without a little 
tune-up to make sure you're running on all eight cylinders. In fact, 
you've even been complaining about it. That it didn't seem normal to you 
to be so over-sexed.(then it hits him)Carly! She's been slipping you the 
stuff, hasn't she? That's why you didn't want her told you were in the 
hospital. You don't want her to know you're on to her.
Sonny:Luke, please tell me what I'm thinking is wrong. Tell me my wife 
hasn't been slipping me this stuff to enhance my performance.
Luke:Sonny, at the start of this thing I warned you about sleeping with 
her. I tried to tell you how she gets. She gets just like her mother 
used to do when she was that age. When Bobbie was doing Scotty Baldwin 
and he wanted Laura, she got me to help her fake a pregnancy test to 
convince Baldwin she was pregnant with his kid. And when she was 
involved with Noah Drake, she pretended she was blind.
Sonny:Maybe it wasn't Carly, after all. Maybe someone at the club 
slipped Viagra in someone's glass and I accidentally drank it by 
mistake.
Luke:You're grasping at straws, partner, and you know it. Besides, if 
Carly is doing it, you've got to know last night wasn't the first time 
she's done it. She's been doing it to you for weeks.
Sonny:But why? That's what I keep asking myself. She must have a good 
reason for it.
Luke:I think the reason is pretty obvious. She probably thinks the more 
you have sex with her, the less chance there is of you leaving her for 
Brenda.
Sonny:Luke, I can't accuse Carly of this unless I'm one hundred percent 
sure she's done this.
Luke:Then you know what you have to do, don't you? You have to give 
Carly enough rope to hang, herself. You've got to catch her in the act 
of trying to slip you some more of the stuff.

Bedroom, V's Apartment;
V:(running her hand over Jax's chest)Jax, when is this thing with Brenda 
finally going to be over with. I hate sneaking around like this to be 
with you. It makes me feel cheap and dirt. Like I'm the other woman or 
something. And that's not the way I was raised.
Jax:V, you're the only woman in my life. I detest Brenda and everything 
she's done to me. The only joy I know is when I'm with you. Don't take 
that away from me. Just be patient a little while longer. I know you 
want me to just let this go, but I can't. For once in her miserable life 
Brenda Barrett is going to be helf accountable for her actions.
V:Are you sure publicly humiliating her at you wedding will be enough 
for you.
Jax:It'll have to be. Both my father and Corinthos' wife are trying to 
convince me I should actually marry her and stay married to her long 
enough until she's lost Corinthos, forever, then dump her, so she'll 
wind up with no one. And I'd be lying to you if I told you the idea 
doesn't tempt me. But I also know if I do that , I'll lose you, forever. 
That that will be the last straw for you. You've put up with me dumping 
you to take up with Brenda, again, when she came back to town, but I 
know you'll never just stand by while I marry Brenda and wait for me to 
finally dump her and divorce her. And when push comes to shove, V, you 
are more important to me than totally destroying Brenda.
V:(worriedly chewing on her bottom lip)I just hope it stays that way, 
Jax. I just hope Brenda doesn't do something to you to make your thrist 
for vengeance stronger than your love for me.
