Party at the Q Mansion:
Bobbie(walks up to Stefan as he enters)Stefan, I'm surprised to see you, 
here. I didn't even know you were acquainted with Brenda.
Stefan:I met Ms. Barrett when she was wearing her harem girl outfit. But 
she's not the reason I'm here. You are. I came here because I was hoping 
I'd see you. I wanted to make sure you're all right. You haven't had 
anymore visitations from the late lamented Dr. Jones, have you.
Bobbie:No, but something weird happened all the same. When I woke-up I 
was wearing the wedding ring Tony gave me. Stefan, I swear I don't 
remember putting them on and it's really giving me the creeps to think I 
did without even realizing it.
Stefan:But there's no other logical explantion for it happening is 
there?
Bobbie:No, but it frightens me to think I'm doing things I'm not even 
aware of doing.
Kat(comes up to them)My, my, don't you two have your heads together. 
What are you doing. Plotting you next move against me.
Stefan:Katherine, you once again overestimate yourself. Barbara and I 
far more interesting things to converse about than such a tedious 
subject as yourself.
Kat:You two aren't fooling me. I know you were talking about Nikolas and 
me. Is that why you're trying to cause trouble between Nikolas and I, 
Bobbie. So you can score points with Stefan?
Stefan:What's the matter, Katherine, jealous? Did you think once I ended 
my association with Laura that I'd come knocking at your door begging 
for another chance with you?
Kat:I suggest you remember my warning, Bobbie. Try to come between 
Nikolas and I and suffer the consequences.(she stalks away in a huff)
Stefan:What was she talking about, Barbara. What warning did she give 
you.
Bobbie:Let's go out on the terrace where we can have some privacy, then 
I'll tell you everything.
Brenda(comes up behind Sonny and trails her finger down the middle of 
his back while a seething Carly watches in fury as she gets waylaid by 
Edward)What are you doing here all by yourself, baby?
Sonny(turns to her, furious)Just what kind of game do you think you're 
playing with me. Why would you go in my bedroom and steal those 
bracelets back. More importantly, how did you even know they were there 
in the first place.
Brenda:I didn't. I went into your bedroom because I wanted to feel close 
to you.(to prove her point she stands closer to him and trails her 
finger down the middle of his chest, playfully)When I got to your room, 
I removed all of my clothes and put on your robe. It was just like 
having you wrapped around me. I could smell your scent on it and it was 
still damp from when you wrapped it around your body as you stepped out 
of the shower.
Edward:My dear, Carly, I may have given you the wrong impression when I 
asked you to move out.
Carly:You stole my son from me and threw me out. How would I get the 
wrong impression from that.
Edward:Now, my dear, let's not hold a grudge, shall we. I just want you 
to know if life ever gets too unbearable living with that immoral 
criminal you've married there's always a place here for you and Michael 
with the family.
Carly:For as long as it takes you to steal my son away from me, right? 
Then you'll throw me out on the street, again. You must think I'm really 
stupid. Now if you'll excuse me, I really need to speak to my husband.
AJ(and Keesha watching Sonny and Brenda)I wonder what she's saying to 
him. He looks mad enough to spit.
Keesha:I don't know, but if you want to go by body language I'd say I 
was wrong before. Brenda is far from being over Sonny.
AJ:If that's true, it's bad news for Jax, but very good news for us.

The Terrace:
Stefan(pacing angerly)She threatened to turn Nikolas against you. How 
dare she!
Bobbie:Stefan, it was no idle threat. She has a great deal of influence 
over Nikolas and she knows it. If were not very careful she could very 
well turn Nikolas against both of us. She's already turned him against 
Laura. From now on I think we'd both better be very careful. I don't 
think Katherine suspects were working together to come between her and 
Nikolas. She seems to think I'm doing it in some half-baked attempt to 
try and get you back. But if we both stay out here any longer together 
she just might figure out the truth.
Stefan:Barbara, I refuse to let her dictate out actioins.
Bobbie:Stefan, think of Nikolas. If she catches on to what were up to 
and fills Nikolas in he'll cut us both out of his life and he'll be left 
to Katherine's tender mercies.
Stefan:You may have a point. We are the only ones who can save Nikolas 
from Katherine.
Bobbie:I'm glad you're seeing thing my way.(as they head back in the 
heel of Bobbie's shoe catches on a cobblestone and she trips. Stefan 
catches her in his arms before she can fall)
Stefan:Are you all right, Barbara.
Bobbie:(looks up into his eyes)I'm fine, Stefan. Thank you for catching 
me.
Stefan(stares deeply into Bobbie's eyes as his lips are drawn to hers 
like a magnet)It was my pleasure. Coming to your rescue is becoming a 
habit, lately.
Bobbie(wraps her arms around Stefan and returns his kiss for several 
minutes before sanity returns and she pushes him away)You shouldn't have 
done that.
Stefan:Why not? You enjoyed it as much as I did. I didn't imagine you 
returning my kiss. In fact, you seemed quite hungry for it. The fires 
still there between us, Barbara. It hasn't died. It's still burning 
bright. Tell me, Barbara, is there any fire between you and Mr. Jacks?
Bobbie:I'm going back inside, now. I suggest we forget this ever 
happened.(as she takes a step away from him she cries out in pain and 
Stefan catches her, again)
Stefan:Barbara, what is it?
Bobbie:I think I twisted my ankle.
Stefan(scoops Bobbie up in his arms and carries her over to a patio 
chair)Let me take a look at it.(he removes her shoe and begins probing 
her ankle)Nothing feels broken.
Bobbie:Is that your professional opinion, Dr. Cassadine.
Stefan:(begins massaging her ankle)Does that hurt.
Bobbie:No. Stefan, this isn't necessary. I'm sure if I stay off of it 
for a few minutes I'll be just fine.
Stefan:I insist.(his massaging fingers begin to move slowly from her 
ankle up to her calf)How does it feel now. Does it still hurt.
Bobbie:Just a little bit.(she leans back in the chair and sighs)But keep 
doing what you're doing. Your massages are the only thing I really miss 
about not being married to you, any longer.
Stefan(smirks up at her while his massaging fingers creep up to her 
knee)Are you sure that's the only thing you miss about being married to 
me.?
Bobbie:I sure don't miss your lies. You know if you weren't born a 
Cassadine, you could have made a great living for yourself as a masseur.
Stefan:Ah, yes, now I remember. You always used to say my fingers were 
magic.(he begins to edge her skirt up as his fingers begin to climb over 
her knee and up her thigh)Doesn't Mr. Jacks give you a massage when you 
come home from a long shift at the hospital?
Bobbie(closes her eyes and enjoys the feel of Stefan's fingers work 
their magic on her)No, he doesn't. That was just something you and I 
did.
Stefan:That's too bad. It was always the highlight of my day when I 
would give you a full body massage in bed after we came home from a long 
day at the hospital. Then once you were feeling all relaxed and 
rejuvenated, we'd make love together all night long. Do you remember 
that, Barbara?
Bobbie:(opens her eyes and finds him staring at her with the dark flame 
of desire in his eyes)Yes, I remember that.(they continue to stare at 
each other as Stefan pushes her dress up as far as it'll go)
Stefan(smiles)I see you're still wearing the silk stockings and black 
lace garters I always found so sexy. Remember how I used to unfasten 
them with my teeth then trail kissed down your leg as I peeled the 
stockings off of you?
Bobbie:Stefan, we really shouldn't be doing this. Anyone could come out 
here and see us.
Stefan(doesn't break eye contact with her as he leans down and kisses 
the inside of her thing above where the stocking meets the garter)Do you 
really want me to stop touching you like this, Barbara.
Bobbie:No, I don't want you to stop, Stefan. I don't want you ever to 
stop.
Stefan:It's not this way between you and Jacks, is it?
Bobbie:No, it's not. It's only like this with you.
Stefan:Then come home with me, Barbara. Come to bed with me.
