The Dock, Spoon Island: Sonny(as the boat Brenda is on explodes)Noooooooooo! Stefan:Oh, my god!(they both rush towards the water and swim out to the burning debris floating on the water) Robert(wakes up groggily on the ground. The impact of the explosion knocking him and Anna off their feet. He finds Anna laying next to him.)Anna, are you all right? (he slaps her face lightly to bring her around)Anna? Anna(sits up and pushes him away)I'll be just fine if you'll stop hitting me. Robert, what happened?(she spots Sonny and Stefan swimming out to what's left of the boat calling Brenda's name)My god! The boat! Veronica blew it up!(she looks around frantically)Where's Veronica? Robert:(spots her as she disappears amongst the trees)There she is.(he grabs Anna's hand and helps her to her feet)Come on, let's get her.(they chase after her) Helena(comes up behind Carly as she watches the scene before her eyes in shock)It was a lovely explosion, wasn't it, my dear. Carly(turns to her)Grandmother, what are you doing here? Helena:I told you, tonight, would be the end of Michael's relationship with that Barrett creature, didn't I? and I always keep my promises. Carly:Grandmother, you're not saying you had something to do with what just happened here, are you? Helena;You wanted Brenda Barrett out of your husband's life. Well, she's out of his life, permanently. Carly:But I didn't want her dead. I just wanted her to go away. Helena:Trust me, my dear, this way is better. This way she won't be able to come back. Carly:Grandmother, by killing her you've insured I'll never have Sonny all to myself. By killing her, you've made her a ghost that will forever stand between Sonny and I and our happiness together. Helena:Nonsense, my dear. This isn't the first time he's see a woman who was pregnant with his child blown to bits before his eyes. He's a realist, your Michael. He'll realize he still has you, Michael and a new baby on the way and he'll get over it. You'll see. Besides, you can use his grief to your own advantage and get closer to him by helping him get through this just like you helped him when he thought he'd been exposed to Aids. Trust me, my dear. You'll thank me for this in the end. Sonny's Penthouse: Bobbie(picks the lock on the front door and enters)I guess you never forget no matter how long it's been since you last did it.(she heads upstairs to Carly's bedroom and has no trouble locating her jewelry box of the locket within. Bobbie hold the locket up and gazes at it)Stefan, could you really be the one who gave this to me so many years ago.(she mentally compares the faces of Stefan and Cass Stephens to each other)I know you were only a boy then, but you look so different from the Cass Stephens I knew.(then she examines her own face in the mirror)But then I look nothing like the Roberta Anderson you would have known then, either. Well, I'll know the truth once I show Stefan this locket and see his reaction to it. That will tell me one way or the other if he really is Cass Stephens. Wyndemere: Mac(enters to find Sonny and Stefan bundled in blankets and drinking hot coffee as they glare at each other)We've begun to drag the harbor for Brenda's remains. We've also got men combing the beach to see if Brenda washed up on shore. Stefan:You think she's dead, don't you? Mac:I don't see how she could have survived an explosion like that. Stefan:(snarls at Sonny and Carly)This is both your faults. You killed my daughter. If it wasn't for the two of you and your over-active libidos my daughter would have never been on that boat in the first place. Sonny:No, it's your fault Brenda's dead. I tried to stop her from geetting on that boat, but you stopped me. If you hadn't stopped me, she's be alive, right now. Carly:Mac, we've told you all we can. Can I take Sonny home, now? Mac:Sure, go ahead. Carly(takes Sonny's arm to help him up)Come on, Sonny, let's go home. Sonny(shakes off her touch)Don't touch me! This is all your fault. If you hadn't pulled the stunt you did, Brenda would still be alive.(he stomps out the front door and she follows after him) Stefan:Commissioner Scorpio, is it all right if I leave, too. I need to go and tell Brenda's mother, Roberta Anderson, what's happened here, tonight, before she hears about it on the news. Mac:Sure, Mr. Cassadine, go ahead. Grounds of Spoon Island: Robert(and Anna watch as Veronica runs inside a gardening shed)She went in there. There's only one way out. We've got her trapped, now, Anna. Anna:Then let's go in there and get her.(they rush inside, but find the shed empty when they enter)Robert, where could she have gone?(Veronica suddenly darts out from behind the dor and locks them inside the shed. They rush to the door and start pounding on it demanding to be let out)I can't believe we didn't check behind the door. We're slipping, Robert, we're getting old. We're losing our touch. Robert:Anner, we're not getting old, we just didn't think she was smart enough to pull something like that on us, that's all. Anna(bangs on the door)Veronica Barrett, we don't want to hurt you. We only want to talk to you. Robert:That's right, Veronica. We know what you did, but we know it's not your fault. It's Helena's fault. We know she put you up to killing Brenda.(he turns to Anna)Do you think she's still out there? Anna(presses her ear to the door)I can hear her out there doing something. Robert:Can you figure out what she's doing? Anna;It sounds like water splashing. Robert:Water splashing? Anna:Veronica, we can hear you out there. We know you can hear us, too. Veronica, we really want to help you. We're not trying to scam you. Robert:That's right, we really want to help you. Veronica(outside the shed)I don't know who you are, but instead of trying to help me, you'd better start worrying about helping yourselves.(she sits a can of gasoline down on the ground, then she lights up a match as stares at it, entranced by the flame, before tossing it at the shed. A trail of flames quickly spreads around the shed and begins licking up the sides of the walls) Robert:What do you suppose she meant by that? Anna:Robert! Look at the bottom of the door! It's smoke! My god, she's set the shed on fire with us in it! Will February Sweeps be a dud? _______________________________________________________________ Get Free Email and Do More On The Web.
