Tony's Cabin in the Woods: Tony(sitting on the bed next to Bobbie showing her an old photo album)You remember when this one was taken, Bobbie. It was at BJ's birthday party. Weren't we happy then. And we can be, again. Bobbie:Tony, our life together wasn't as idealistic as you're trying to paint it, nor did we have this great love. You remember when you were blind and you were interested in that therapist, Valerie, and couldn't see me for dirt before you asked me to marry you. Or how I kept it from you when I learned Lucas was Cheryl Stansbury's son and I was planning to run off with him so I wouldn't have to give him up. Or how about my affair with Damian Smith and my almost affair with Alan. That's hardly the picture of this perfect relationship you're trying to portray. Tony:No, it was all Carly fault. She ruined our relationship. Our relationship was perfect until then. Bobbie:Tony, long before Carly there was something wrong with us. If there wasn't and I was truly happy I would have never slept with Damian and almost had an affair with Alan. Tony(jumps off the bed)I don't want to hear this.(he storms out of the cabin) Wyndemere: Mac(and Jerry enter)Mr. Cassadine, Jerry tells me Bobbie disappeared after coming out here to see you. Stefan:Commissioner Scorpio, I was just about to call you. After Mr. Jacks left, I called down at the gate, and my security never saw Barbara leave the island. The boat she arrived in is still down at the dock. And when I went outside to join the men I had searching the island for her, I found her purse and this was laying next to it.(he holds up the needle with his handkerchief) Mac:A needle? Did you touch it? Stefan:Do I look like an idiot. when I found it I picked it up with my hankerchief. Mac(takes the needle from Stefan)I'll send this to the lab, immediately, and see if any fingerprints can be lifted from it. I'll also have my own men search the grounds if you don't mind. Stefan;As you wish. Back Room At Luke's Club: Luke(enters as Sonny's shooting pool)You're never going to believe the latest.(he takes out a cigar and lights it up) Sonny:You were gone when I got up, this morning. Luke:Right after you went upstairs, Laura arrived and dropped a little bomb on me. Get this. It turns out I'm the little bastard's father. Sonny:You're kidding. How do you feel about it. Does it change your feelings for him. Luke:You mean do I suddenly feel all warm and cuddly towards him now that I know he's the fruit of my loins. Does some shared DNA change the fact that he was raised a Cassadine. That Cassadine is the only real father he's ever really known. That he despises me and I feel likewise towards him. In a word, no. It doesn't change a thing as far as I'm concerend. Let me ask you something. You know Mike is your father, but when you think of your father whose the first person who comes to your mind. Mike or Deke? Sonny(reluctantly)Deke. Luke:Why. Sonny:Because Deke raised me and Mike didn't. Luke:And eventhough Mike came back and Deke abused you, you'll always think of Deke as your father because he's the one who raised you. It's nature versus nuture in a nutshell. Nature says I'm the kid's father, but it was Cassadine who was there for him when he had a bad dream and he was sick. He's the one who shared all the kid's firsts with him. And just because biologically I'm suddenly his father it doesn't change that fact. Speaking of Mike, have you called him to tell him you're back, yet. Sonny:I guess that's your subtle way of changing the subject. To answer your question, no, why would I. Last time we saw each other we said it all as far as I'm concerned. When I wouldn't tell him where I lived because it would put him in danger, he shook my hand, said goodbye and walked out on me just like he did when I was five. Laura(enters)Hello, Sonny, would you mind if I spoke to Luke alone. Sonny:Be my guest. I'll be in the kitchen if you need me. I want to revamp our menu so we can draw more customers in.(he exits) Luke:What do you want? Laura:I don't know if it matters to you or not, but your son is going to be, all right. Thanks to your blood transfusion, they were able to replace the blood he lost and remove the bullet. I wanted to know if you wanted to be with me when I tell him your his father. Luke:I'm sure he'll be thrilled by the news. Thanks, I'll pass. You know, Laura, if you've got some idea in your head about bonding us into one big happy family, you'd better forget about it. You're not going to like this, but you made a choice when you decided to let the Cassadines raise Nikolas. It's too late to go back and change things. And when he finds out I'm his father, after thinking first Stavros, then Stefan was his father, I doubt he's going to be feeling all warm and cuddly towards you, either. The Quartermaine Mansion: Keesha(as AJ enters)AJ, I think what we've prayed for has finally happened. AJ:You mean Carly. Keesha(nods)I heard her on the phone with someone, earlier. I think it was a man. AJ:So you think Carly's finally ended her dryspell. Keesha:I'm sure of it. AJ, if we can prove Carly's up to her old tricks, again, we can prove she's an unfit mother, get custody of Michael away from her and kick her out. AJ:That sounds like a dream come true to me. But how do we prove it. Keesha:I know. The next time Carly leaves the house, we'll follow her. We'll take a video camera with us so we can get the good on her on tape. Nikolas' Room, General Hospital: Nik(opens his eyes)Katherine, what happened? Kat:Nikolas, darling, you were shot, but you're going to be fine, now, thanks to Luke. Nik:Luke? What does Luke Spencer have to do with this. Kat:Oh, Nikolas, I don't know how to tell you this. When you were brought into the emergency room you'd lost a lot of blood and you needed a blood transfusion. But when Stefan offered to be a donor, the doctors discovered there was no possible way you could be his son. Nik:Katherine, what are you saying? Kat:Nikolas, Luke is really your father. Nik:(shakes his head in denial)No, that can't be true. Laura:(enters)Nikolas, thank goodness you're awake. Nik:Tell me it isn't true. Tell me, Luke Spencer isn't my father. Laura(glares at Kat)You told him! Kat:Of course I did. Nikolas has suffered enough because of your lies. I thought he deserved to know the truth. Nik:My god, it's true! Stefan(enters)What's going on in here. I could hear your voices all the way down the hall. Nik:Uncle, make them leave. Stefan:What happened? Laura:Katherine told Nikolas Luke is his father. Stefan:Would you please leave us alone. Kat:Of course. I'll just be right outside the door, Nikolas. Call me if you need me.(she and Laura exit) Nik:Uncle, tell me it's not true. Tell me, Luke Spencer isn't my father. Stefan:I'm afraid it's true, but it doesn't have to change anyting if we don't let it. Nik:Not change anything. It changes everything. The person I hate most in the world is my father. I know I felt betrayed and hurt when Katherine told me you were my father because you'd lied to me all my life about who I really am because you wanted me to inherit the Cassadine empire, but at least I loved you. I despise Luke Spencer and he feel the same way about me. I loathe everything he stands for. He planted drugs on me, he tried to have me deported, he threatened to kill me. I could never love a man like that as a father. Stefan:And you don't have to. After I found out, Barbara came to me. She told me the relationship we've always shared didn't have to change because of this. That eventhough Luke was your father it could never change the fact I raised you and loved you all you life. And she's right. Things only have to change if we left them change. In my heart you will always be my son and nothing will ever change that. Blood ties doen't matter. What does is how we feel in our heart. And in my heart you are my son. Outside Nikolas' Room: Laura(turns on Kat)You did that on purpose, didn't you? Kat:Why would I do that, Laura. Laura:You've been out to get me ever since you came back from the dead. You've wanted to destroy any feelings Nikolas has for me by first telling him that Stefan was his father, then tell him Luke was. You've even seduced him to get at me. Kat:I love Nikolas and when he gets out of this hospital we're going to be married. Laura:Over my dead body. Why would a woman of your age want to marry a boy like Nikolas if not purely to get revenge on me. Kat:Get over yourself, Laura. The world doesn't revolve around you. As for Nikolas. He may be young in years, but he's more of a man than most of the men I've been involved with, including Stefan. Somewhere in California: Dr. Katz:All right, Sunny, let's go over what we know about you, so far. When you washed up on the beach half-drowned, you were brought here and when you came to the only name you could remember was your own. Sunny. And, recently, you've been having flashbacks of th is dark-haired man. Brenda:And some of them haven't been very nice, either. Sometimes were happy and making love, but other times we fighting and angry with each other. Dr. Katz:And you still believe you're in love with this man. Brenda(nods)It's the only think I truly know for sure. Whenever I think of him I know what I feel for him can only be love. Dr. Katz:Then I guess the key to finding out who you are is to find out who this man is you say you love. I have a friend whose an artist. If I ask him to come here, could you describe this man for him? Brenda:I know I could. I'll never forget his face until the day I die, and maybe not even then. Backroom at Luke's Club: Sonny(is shooting pool when Carly enters. She comes up behind him as he's about to shoot a ball into the side pocket and hugs him)You made me miss my shot, Carly. Carly:(nuzzling his neck)How did you know it was me. Sonny:Your perfume. Besides you're the only one I know whose brazen enough to pull something like that on me.(he turns to her)I thought you didn't want the Q's to find out about us. Carly:I don't, but I didn't think it was safe to call you from the mansion with that snoopy Keesha always lurking around trying to get something on me. So I came here in person(she presses herself against him)I want to see you, tonight. Will you meet me at Jakes? Sonny(running his hands donw her body)Why wait until tonight. We're all alone, here. Have you ever done it on a pool table? Carly:Someone could come in at any moment. Sonny:I'll lock the door. Carly(hops on the pool table)Then what are we waiting for, Curlylocks. Lock the door. We can even make it more interesting if you like. You ever played strip pool? Sonny:(locking the door)I've never even played strip poker before. Carly:Then you never really lived. Sonny(racking up the balls)Just how does it work. Carly:For every ball a player gets into a pocket his or her opponent has to remove a piece of clothing and the game doesn't end until both players are stipped bare. Then the fun really begins. Sonny:Sounds like my kind of game, but lets make even more interesting than that. For every ball we sink into a pocket we get to strip a piece of clothing off each other. Call it the personal touch. I'll demonstrate.(he shoots a ball into the side pocket then walks over to Carly and slowly unbuttons her blouse before sliding it down her arms)Get the picture. Carly:I like the way you think.(she shoots a ball into the side pocket, then walks over to Sonny and slowly unzips his pants)Oh, you're wearing boxers. Sonny:Well, you know what they say about boxers. They can impair function or even possibly cause impotency. Carly:Well, we definitely wouldn't want that. Sonny:I think I'll go for the skirt next.(he takes his shot) Carly:I felt sure you'd go for the bra. Most men would. Sonny:I'm not most. I'm saving the best for last. Anticipation always makes the getting much more satisfying. Don't you know that. Carly:Well, don't expect me to take the high road. I've got a very vivid picture in my head of you shooting pool in nothing but your shoes and socks and I can't wait to make it a reality. Sonny(removes her skirt)Oh, you're wearing stockings and garters. My favorites. Maybe I'll take the low road, myself. Carly:Does your mother know what a bad little boy she raised. Sonny(smiles)In the words of the immortal Mae West, "When I'm good, I'm very, very, good. But when I'm bad, I'm better." Carly(prepares to take her shot)Well, Bad Boy, say goodbye to those boxers, because they're coming off next, honey.(her ball rolls smoothly into the side pocket and she smiles in anticipation as she walks towards Sonny to claim her prize) Jason's Bike Shop: Moreno(enters)Hello, Jason, how's life going on the straight and narrow. Jason:What do you want. Moreno:I was wondering if you knew Sonny was back. Jason:Why should Sonny being back concern you. Moreno:Because Benny went to him and asked him to lead him, again. You and I, we made a deal. I promised protection to you and your preachy little girlfriend in exchange for your territory. If Sonny tries to take that territory back, all bets are off. Jason:Just what are you saying. Moreno:Accidents happen. Last time, the car exploded when you little girlfriend was standing next to it. Next time she might be in it. Jason(grabs Moreno by the shirt)You touch one hair on Robin's head and you're dead. Moreno(shoves him away)Keep your hands off me, you punk. Do you really think I'm afraid of you. You're nothing. You don't have any power, anymore. You gave it all to me. You're just a dime a dozen grease monkey. Now I suggest you use whatever influence you have over Corinthos and convince him to give up whatever thoughts he may have of reclaiming what he gave up. Because if you don't, you and your girlfriend will suffer the consequences. Do I make myself clear.(with that Moreno exits.) ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com
