Helena's Yacht:
Stefan(enters)Hello, Mother.
Helena:Stefan, what can I do for you.
Stefan:I know, Mother. I know everything.
Helena:About what are you referring to, Steffy.
Stefan:Where should I begin. How about the fact Barbara is really Roberta 
Anderson and you've known it all along.
Helena:Barbara is Roberta Anderson? Stefan, I know you've suffered a 
terrible loss, but I think you're delusional.
Stefan:Give it up, Mother. I know. I know Carly is really my daughter and 
not Brenda. And I figured out why you didn't want me to know about it. It's 
because of Michael. You wanted to prevent me from getting close to my 
daughter to make sure we didn't develop a relationship all so you could 
control the Cassadine empire through Carly and Michael. Do you deny it.
Helena:So you know? What do you intend to do about it?
Stefan:I intend to stop you from using my daughter and grandson any further 
in some play your plotting for power.
Helena:And how do you intend to do that?
Stefan:Simple, I'm going to have myself appointed trustee of the Cassadine 
estate until Michael reaches majority and can assume his rightful postion as 
head of this family.
Helena:Caroline may have something to say about that. She is Michael's 
mother, after all, and there's no love loss between the two of you. I was 
there after your "daughter" got blown to bits and I heard the way you talked 
to her. Caroline is just like me. She won't just overlook the way you 
treated her because you want to be her Daddy, now. In fact, she might even 
oppose you becoming trustee.
Stefan:Which you'd no doubt set her up to do.
Helena:Of course. Frankly, I see no reason in the world why you should be 
made trustee. If anyone should, it should be me.
Stefan:And you'll, of course, convince Caroline you should be trustee.
Helena:Of course. We are awfully close, you know.
Stefan:Your closeness to my daughter is something I intend to end now that I 
know the truth. And I know just how to do it. Once I tell her all about how 
you set Veronica Barrett up to pretending she was Roberta Anderson and how 
she passed off Brenda Barrett as my daughter on your orders so you could 
keep us apart, I doubt she'll want to continue her closeness to you. 
Especially when I make sure she knows you car nothing about her. That the 
only reason you've been nice to her was so you could use her to get your 
hands on her son and through him the Cassadine estate.
Helena:It won't work, Stefan. You won't turn Caroline against me. You see, 
I've been helping her to get the one thing she wants most in this world. And 
she knows without me she won't be able to get it. Then there's the Veronica 
Barrett factor. I don't think she'll take it too kindly when she finds out 
you cheated on her mother on the night of your engagement party.(she smiles 
maliciously at the shocked look on Stefan's face)That's right, Steffy. 
Mother knows all about you and Veronica Barrett. I wonder how dear Barbara 
will react when she finds out. It would be terrible if now that you've 
finally found your precious Roberta, again, you were to lose her all over, 
again, wouldn't it?
Stefan:You miserable old bitch!
Helena:What a way to speak to your mother. Steffy, didn't I teach you better 
than that. I knew no good would come from you associating with someone of 
Ms. Spencer's ilk. her commoness has begun to rub off on you.
Stefan:You've overplayed your hand, this time, Mother. You see, before I 
came over here, I made a stop at Veronica Barrett's hotel suite. As we 
speak, she's jetting far from Port Charles. So you go ahead and tell Barbara 
about my having sex with Veronica Barrett, she won't believe you. She knows 
you were behind Veronica Barrett pretending to be Roberta Anderson. She 
knows you'll do anything to try and come between us. She won't believe a 
thing you say. She'll think you're lying. And you don't have Veronica 
Barrett to back up your story, so there's nothing you can do.
Helena:But I don't need Veronica. You know, Veronica was a very bizarre 
woman with the strangest tastes. Like for instance, she liked to watch 
herself having sex with different men. You're not aware of this, but while 
she was staying at the Port Charles Hotel, Veronica would go down to the 
bar, pick up all these strange men, bring them back to her hotel room and 
tape them while they had sex with her without them even being aware of it. 
You had your little tryst with Veronica in her hotel room, didn't you, 
Stefan.
Stefan:She didn't...
Helena:Oh, but she did. Veronica knew you'd be over to break the sad news to 
her about Ms. Barrett, so she was all prepared when you arrived. When 
Veronica told me you wanted her to leave Port Charles, I suggested it would 
be best if she gave me your little sex tape for safe keeping. So while 
Barbara may not believe a word that comes out of my mouth, I believe seeing 
it with her own eyes will be a different matter, entirely. You know what 
they say. A picture is worth a thousand words and I tape is worth far more 
than even that.
Stefan:You ruined my relationship witih Barbara when we were teenagers. 
Because of you we were unable to raise our child together. But now we've 
finally found our way back to each other, I won't allow you to ruin things 
between us, again.
Helena:Then don't oppose me. Because if you do I will show that tape to 
Barbara and don't think I won't.

Anna's Room, General Hospital:
Mac(enters)Veronica Barrett is gone. She cleaned out her room and left 
during the night without even checking out.
Anna:Do you think she's left Port Charles for good?
Mac:That's a safe bet.
Robert:So what are we going to do now? Without Veronica around we can't 
prove Helena was connected to Brenda's murder.
Anna:And the tapes aren't admissable in court because they were taped 
illegally.
Mac:Then it looks like we'll have to get something else on Helena and Faison 
if we have any hopes of nailing them.

Carly's Bedroom, The Brownstone:
Sonny(carries a sleeping Carly inside her bedroom and gently lays her down 
on the bed. As he's covering her up, she wakes up.)
Carly:(sleepily)Sonny, what are you doing?
Sonny:Putting you to bed.(he caresses her hair)You fell asleep on the couch. 
Carly, you're dead on your feet. You need to get some rest. If not for 
yourself, than for the baby.
Carly:Sonny, you made your feelings about the baby clear, earlier.
Sonny:Carly, I didn't mean what I said. I just had too much piled on me at 
once and I exploded. But when our baby is born, I'll love him or her just 
like I love Michael.
Carly:Even if we never see Michael, again?
Sonny:Even then. (he leans over and kisses her on the forehead)Now why don't 
you try to get some sleep. Remember, you're sleeping for two now.
Carly(stops him from leaving when he starts to stand up)Sonny, don't go. 
Stay with me.
Sonny:Carly...
Carly:Sonny, please, if you leave I don't think I'll be able to fall ack to 
sleep. All I want you to do is to hold me. Won't you lay down with me and 
hold me until I fall asleep. Maybe if we both hold each other we'll both be 
able to get some sleep.
Sonny:All right, if that's what you need to get some sleep.(he climbs under 
the covers with her and they lay spoon-style. Then he caresses her hair)I'm 
sure by the time you wake-up in the morning, we'll have heard something 
about Michael.
Carly:(snuggles up against Sonny)Goodnight, Sonny.
Sonny(sighs)Goodnight, Carly.
