V's Apartment: V(listens appalled as Jax finishes filling her in on what's been going on)Are you telling me you're going to continue to let Sonny think he's been exposed to Aids? Jax:Of course, it couldn't be better if I planned it. Sonny and Brenda were about to get back together, which would have ruined all my plans to have my revenge on Brenda. Now that's off, only Brenda doesn't know it, yet. But once she does she'll decide to go through with marrying me since she won't want to be alone. V:What if things don't work out the way you think. What if this brings them together, instead. Jax:I'll just have to find a way to make sure that doesn't happen. V:I don't even know you, anymore. I thought once you knew the truth about Brenda, you'd let her go, then we could pick up where we left off. But now you're as obsessed with getting back at her as you were when you were in love with her. Jax:V, I thought you understood why I needed to make Brenda pay for what she did to me. V:I do...I did, but it's the lengths you're willing to go to that concerns me. Letting Sonny think he's got a dead disease just so you can go ahead with your plans in just plain evil. Jax:I'm not the one who made it look like Sonny was injected with infected blood. Moreno did that. V:No, you didn't, but you're more than willing to take advantage of it and use it to your own advantage, aren't you? Jax:So? V:Jax, the end doesn't always justify the means. Sometimes the cost is too high. I won't support you any longer in this revenge scheme against Brenda. In fact, I insist you give it up. Jax:And if I don't...Don't give me an ultimatum, V. V:Jax, I've put up with a lot, but I'm done putting up with it. I'm going to give you a choice. At the same time your wedding to Brenda is supposed to take place, I'll be waiting for you in East Meadows at the Justice Of The Peace's home for you to come and marry me, instead. If you don't show up and opt to go through with your plan against Brenda, then it'll be over between us for good. On the other hand, if you choose love over revenge and show up at the Justice Of The Peace's, then I'll do everything in my power to make you the happiest man alive. The choice is yours. Cassadine Compound, Greece: Sonny:I can't believe we snuck in her so easily. Luke:Yeah, it was easy, wasn't it. Maybe it was a little bit too easy. Sonny:You think we may have walked into a trap? Luke:Maybe. To be on the safe side keep your eyes and ears open and be ready for anything. Sonny:Right. So where should we look first. Luke:Helena's boudoir. If there's anything here, it'll be there. Sonny:You know the way? Luke:I've been there before. Sonny(raises an eyebrow)Really? Care to fill me in. Luke:Get your mind out of the gutter, Corinthos.(he and Sonny enter Helena's bedroom)The safe's by the wall. Would you like to do the honors or should I? Sonny:Be my guest. (Sonny notices a cigar burning in an ashtray. He picks it up)Luke, I think someone's been here, recently. (he holds up the cigar) Luke:That's strange. A guy I know named Heir Krieg smokes one just like that. Sonny:Must be a common brand. My stepfather smoked the same kind.(they look at the curtains billowing by the opened french doors)Maybe you'd better hurry up and crack that safe. Luke:Maybe you're right.(he gives the dial a few spins.)Got it. Sonny:(keeping a look out)Find anything interesting. Luke(going through the contents)Yeah, I think I found something, but not what we came for. It's a file labelled Nikolas Cassadine. Sonny(comes over to him)Open it, he's your son. Luke(opens it and is puzzled by what he finds)It's a birth certificate. Sonny:Nikolas? Luke:I don't know. There's no name on it. The name hasn't been filled in, yet. It's for a boy 9 pounds 8 ounces. And his parents are Robert and Anna Scorpio. Sonny:What! That's impossible. Robin doesn't have a brother. Let me take a look at it.(he examines it)The date of birth is the same day as Robin's birthday. Luke, what's going on here. Luke:I don't know, but we'd better find out. Sonny's Penthouse: Carly(opens the door to Brenda)You! I thought you were in Alaska. Brenda:(pushes her way in)All right, where is he? Carly:Who? Brenda:Sonny. Carly:Sonny's not here, right now. He's out of town. Brenda:Yeah, right. Sonny! Are you here! It's Brenda.! Carly:See, I told you. If you still don't believe me, why don't you don't you search the entire apartment for yourself. Brenda:All right, I want to know how you did it. The last time I saw Sonny everything was fine. We agreed that I would play along with John Jacks until Sonny was back on his feet and we could decide what to do about him together. Now he's back together with you and he's avoiding me. Something isn't right here. Carly:Maybe Sonny finally came to his senses about you. Did you ever think about that? Brenda:Sonny loves me. Carly:Yes, and he loves me, too. The only difference is I'm good for Sonny and you're not. I understand him and you don't. Brenda:Now where have I heard this before? Oh, yes, now I remember. Lily. Carly:I'm nothing like Lily and she didn't really understand Sonny any better than you do. Brenda;But you do? Is that the bill of goods you've been selling Sonny while I was gone. Well, when I see Sonny, I'll just have to set him straight, again. Carly(holds the door open for her)Get out! Helena(appears in the doorway)Well, it looks like I showed up just in time. Brenda:Since you have a guest, I'll be leaving. You'd better start packing your bags, Carly. Because you're days as Mrs. Corinthos are numbered. Carly(yells after her)We'll just see about that! Helena(walks in and closes the door behind her)What was that about? Carly:What do you want, Mrs. Cassadine? If you're looking for my Uncle Luke, he doesn't live here, anymore. Helena:I'm well aware of that, my dear. I didn't come to see Luke, I came to see you. Carly:Why? I barely know you? Helena:But I know you. You see, my dear, I'm your grandmother.
