Nobody Leaves Manor: Jax(is getting dressed for the wedding when Felicia enters)I understand you wanted to see me. Felicia:So you're going to go through with the wedding. V's ultimatum to you meant nothing. Jax:If V told you that much then you must know I'm not going through with marrying Brenda. I'm just going to publicly humiliate her in front of the whole town and reveal what a lying tramp she is. Felicia:And then I suppose after that you plan to pick up things with V right where you left off with her, right? Well, it's not going to happen. I know V has put up with a lot from you in the past because she loves you, but she meant every word she said to you. If you don't show up, it'll be over between the two of you for good because once again you'll be choosing Brenda over V. So I'd think very carefully about what you do next. Is your revenge on Brenda really worth throwing V away? Now if you'll excuse me I have to help V get ready for the Justice Of The Peaces office in East Meadows. Wyndemere: Stefan(as Helena enters)I suppose you've come to pick up your painting. Helena:Dr. Jones was taken to Ferncliff, this morning.(she takes the video tape out of the pocket of her sable coat and hands it to him)And here's the tape. Now where is my painting? Stefan(takes it out from behind his chair)Here is it.(he gives it one last derisive look)Really, Mother, I can't believe you'd pose for something like this. Helena:I was taken advantage of by the artist, but I can assure you he was the last man to ever do that to me. Stefan:Then, perhaps, Mothere, the weakness you've always despised in my I inherited from you. Helena:Perhaps, you did. And perhaps the same reason I wanted to destroy this painting, I've wanted to destroy the weakness I could see in you. Because it was a reminder of the weakness I once possessed in me until I eradicated it from myself.(she picks up a letter opener and cuts the paiting of herself out of its frame then tosses the canvas on top of the flames in the fireplace)There. Now that Dr. Jones has been put away where he belongs, I'm sure Barbara will be returning to her quaint little brownstone, again. Stefan:Why would you think that? Helena:Well, the only reason she moved in here was the Jones menace and now it's been removed. Stefan:Things have changed between Barbara and I. Helena:Please don't tell me you're thinking of marrying her, again. Stefan:And if I am. Helena:Then I'd have to make sure the wedding never takes place. Stefan:I'm no longer an eighteen year old child you can bully and terrorize into giving up the love of his life. Helena:Roberta Anderson was just a fling. It wold have never lasted. You knew absolutely nothing about what she was really like. Stefan:I know she was the first person in my life up until then who could make me laugh and have a good time. Who made me truly happy and you ruined it.(they stare into each others eyes as they both remember a similar confrontation in the past) Helena(was waiting for Stefan as he returned to his hotel room after saying "Goodnight" to Roberta)I was wondering when you'd finally come back to your room. Stefan:Mother, what are you doing here? Helena:I knew it was a mistake for you father to let you attend university in America. To answer your question, Stefan, I've come to take you home. You will finish the rest of your education on the island withi tutors. Now go and pack your things. The jet is waiting for us on the tarmac to take up back to the island. Stefan:Mother, what do you care what I do. Stavros is the heir apparent. I'm jsut the lowly second son. Why can't you let me lead my life the way I see fit. Helena;And is this how you see fit?(she throws a stack of photos down on the coffee table. They're pictures of Stefan and "Roberta" skinny-dipping and making love on the beach) Stefan:You've been having me watched? Helena:Of course, you didn't really think I'd allow you to come to America unsupervised, did you? Stefan:You had someone watching Roberta and I and had them take pictures of us? Mother, how could you. You just turned something beautiful into something dirty and tawdry. Helena:Oh, stop your mewling and start packing. Stefan:I'm not going anywhere. Helena:Oh, yes, you are. You are going to go to your little sandbox slut and tell her this was just a spring fling. That you're engaged to be married and you were just having a little fun with her before you tie yourself down. And then you will return here, pack your things and come home with me. Stefan:And if I don't? Helena:Why that's quite simple? If you don't, I'll have your little beach bunny killed. Stefan(and Helena's minds come back to their present encounter)You won't force me to give up Barbara the way you did Roberta. You see, Mother, you've succeeded in your goal to eradicate the weakness from me. You no longer can intimate and scare me, anymore. Grant's Office, General Hospital: Carly(rushes in)I came as soon as you called. Do you have the test results? Am I pregnant and is Sonny really Michael's father? Grant:There's no need to be in such of a hurry. Carly:Dr. Andrews, I'm on the clock, here. Time is running out for me. Sonny's on the way home and I need to have this information ready to combat whatever happens today. Grant:Is something supposed to happen, today? Carly:A wedding, if I'm lucky. Depending upong what happens there, my whole world could be about to blow up in face and I need this information to do damage control and to hold on to my husband. So, do you have the results? Grant:Yes, I have them all. First off, as I suspected, your husband's HIV test came back negative. Carly:Yeah, yeah, what about the paternity test and my pregnancy test. Grant:I'm getting to that. There are no Matacumbe toxins in your blood, but there are in your husband's. And the blood comparison between your son blood and your husband's was a 99.9% match. Carly:Are you saying what I think you're saying? Grant:Yes, your husband is the father of your son. Carly:Yes! What about the pregnancy test you gave me? Grant:You and your husband should be welcoming a new child into your home in about eight months. Carly(gets up, throws her arms around Grant and kisses him)Dr. Andrews, you've just saved my life. (she rushes out of the office)Now I've got to go and meet Sonny's plane and tell him the good news before Brenda has a chance to get to him. San Remos: Robert(is working at a laptop out on his terrace that overlooks the sea when he hears someone enter)Anner, luv, is that you? Luke(standing behind him)No, Robert, it's me. Robert(turns around to him in shock)Spencer, what are you doing here? Luke:I think a better question would be, why are you letting everyone believe that your dead. Will February Sweeps be a dud? ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com
