Stone's Room, Sonny's Penthouse: Carly(holding Sonny in her arms and caressing his hair)See, Sonny, it's dawn. We made it through the night together.(he rolls away from her and turns his back on the new day. She wraps her arms around him from behind)I know you didn't sleep at all, last night.(she runs her fingers through his hair)Maybe you could get some sleep, now.(she hears the doorbell ringing)I'll go get that.(she kisses him)I'll be right back.(she hurries down the stairs to answer the door) Grant:Mrs. Corinthos, have you found your husband, yet? Carly:Come in, Dr. Andrews. Yes, I did. He's upstairs right now. Grant:How is he? Carly:I'm not sure. He broke down in my arms and cried, but afterwards he got real quiet. I held him all night long and he never went to sleep once. Grant:Maybe I should go up and see him. Carly:I don't think that would be a good idea. The one thing Sonny was adamant about was not wanting to go back to the hospital and I think if he saw you, you would represent that hospital to him. Grant;Maybe you're right. I guess I'd better go. But, Mrs. Corinthos, it's very important you convince your husband to come to me and have that HIV test done. Carly:Don't worry, I will.(she closes the door behind him and returns to Sonny)Sonny, it was Dr. Andrews. Don't worry, I sent him away.(she sees he's finally fallen asleep. She leans down and kisses him on the forehead)That's right, baby, you sleep. Luke's Club: Bobbie(enters)Hello, big brother. Luke:Hello, baby sister. What do you want? Bobbie:What makes you think I want something. Luke:That's usually why you come to see me. Bobbie:You know that's not true. I've come by a lot of times to listen to your problems and to give you some good advice, which you completely ignore to do as you please.(he gives her a look)All right, I want something. Luke:How much is it going to cost me. Bobbie:Not a thing. I need you to draw me a map where all the secret passages are located in Wyndemere. Luke:Why? Bobbie:It's that stupid painting. I went and made a deal with Helena. I told her I'd get her her painting back in exchange for her handing over the tape and dropping all plans to take custody of Lucas away from me. The only problem is Stefan has hidden the painting somewhere in Wyndemere and I don't know where it is. Luke:Am I to take it by that Vlad knows nothing about this deal you've struck with his mama. Bobbie:That's right. Stefan has got some sick fixation about that painting. He believes that as long as he has it he holds some power over Helena and he's scoring a coup against her. Luke:Just like he was scoring one against me by having that painting of Luara. You know, Barbara Jean, I'm not going to have to lift a finger to end things between you and Count Creepy. You're going to do it all by yourself. Bobbie:Stefan will understand why I made this deal with his mother. Luke:You give him more credit than he deserves. He won't understand you taking his nudie painting of his mama away from him and giving it back to her behind his back. Bobbie:Yes, he will. He'll understand that a painting isn't as important as Lucas. He was raised by Helena and he'll understand that preventing Helena from raising Lucas was worth giving the painting back to her. Luke:Yeah, right. Besides, how do you know Helena will keep her deal once she's got that painting back in her hot little hands. Bobbie:I just know she will. I think that painting is as important to her as Lucas is to me. If I'm the one who gives it back to her, I truly believe she'll keep the deal we made. Luke:For your sake, I hope you're right. Bobbie:So will you draw me the map. Luke:Sure, anything to help set you and Vlad on the path to self-destruction. Helena's Yacht: Helena(as Stefan enters)Well, Steffy, you can imagine my shock when I heard you'd come to see me. Stefan:I know Barbara came to see you, last night. I want to know why. Helena:Then why don't you ask your paramour, yourself.(she suddenly smiles)Oh, you did and she wouldn't tell you, so you came to me. How quaint. Stefan;You didn't answer my question. Helena:We just had a little chat between us girls. I assure you it wouldn't interest you in the slightest. Stefan:Just how did you lure her here. Helena:Lure her?(she throws back her head and laughs)Oh, Steffy, just like your father you tend to think women are weak-minded inferior creatures when compared to you. I fear you're in for a big surprise when it comes to your Barbara. A big surprise, indeed. She's not some mindless sheep that is easily lead. No, not only does she have a mind of her own, she's as capable of being scheming and manipulative as you are, dear boy. I didn't lure her here as you suggest. No, Barbara came to me of her own freewill and what we discussed will remain between her and me unless she decides she wants you to know about it. So if you want to know what we discussed, you'll have to get it from her. Stefan:I should have knwon it was a waste of time coming to you.(he leaves in a huff) Helena(smiles as she sips her tea)Oh, Steffy, the fun is just beginning.
