Sonny's Penthouse: Sonny(as Carly opens the door)I thought I should warn you so you can prepare yourself. Carly:Let me guess. Brenda refused to lie at the custody hearing, didn't she? Sonny:Yes. You have to understand. You were asking her to commit perjury. Carly:Oh, yes and that would offend Brenda so deeply to lie, wouldn't it, because she's such an honest person. Too bad it didn't offend her to break-up our marriage, then I wouldn't be having any problems, right now. Sonny:I've been thinking. They're may be a way to get around Brenda's damaging testimony. Carly:How? Sonny:I could say when I'm called to the stand that I lied to Brenda when I told her I couldn't leave you until you were awarded permanent custody of Michael. That I was just doing what other married men have been doing for centuries when dealing with the other woman. I was just feeding her a line about only marrying you so you could keep custody of Michael. Everyone in this town always thinks the worst of me, anyway. So, I'm sure they'll have no trouble believing it. Carly:You'd really do that for me? You'd really risk being accused of committing perjury so I could keep Michael? Sonny:Carly, it's the least I owe you. If I'd have kept to my promise to stay with you until you were granted permanent custody, AJ couldn't have filed another custody suit against you. Carly:Sonny, as touched as I am about your offer, I can't ask you to do that. If the court believes you're lying, they could charge you with perjury. I know how you feel about being locked up and I would never ask you to risk that for me. Sonny:Are you sure? I'm willing to do it and accept whatever consequences I may have to suffer. Carly:I'm sure. Will you come to the hearing with me, tomorrow, though? I really need you there with me by my side, Sonny. I don't think I'll be able to get through it without you. Sonny:You couldn't keep me away. I'll come by here early in the morning, and drive you to the courthouse. How will that be? Carly:(hugs him)Thank you, Sonny. I don't know what I'd do without you. Apartment Above The Outback: Brenda:(enters and looks around)So, this is where you're hanging motorcycle helmet these days, is it? Jagger:When Mac told me the apartment was vacant, I immediately grabbed it up. Brenda:I heard Jax and V decided to move to New York after they came back from their honeymoon. Maybe they were smart deciding to make a fresh start somewhere else. Maybe Sonny and I should do the same thing. Jagger:I'm surprised you came here without an escort. Didn't Sonny decree that you weren't supposed to go out alone until your mother was caught. Brenda:Then maybe he should stay home with me instead of constantly going over to see Carly. Jagger:What's going on. Brenda:I don't want to talk about it. Sonny and Carly's divorce hearing is in a week and once they're legally divorced Sonny will stop feeling responsible for her and her problems.(she looks around the unfurnished apartment, again)This is a nice apartment and all, but isn't it a little empty. Do you even have a bed to sleep on? Jagger:Well, you see, I was hoping this friend I have would help me decorate the place and make it livable. Brenda:Me? Jagger:Yes, you. Would you go out with me and help me shop for some furniture, like now. Brenda:I'd love to. I wanted to decorate a place with Sonny, but the Brownstone was already decorated and furnished. So, I guess I'll just have to settle for helping you furnish and decorate yours. San Remos: Anna(being held in Robert's arms as they lay together on their bed)I still can't beliee Robin isn't our daughter. Robert:I really thought Faison had done all to us that he could do, but he always seems to be able to pull one better on us, doesn't he? My god, he stole our child from us. I can't believe even he would sink that low. Anna:And he gave our son to the Cassadines to be raised as one of them. Robert, what are we going to do about this? Robert:First things, first. Robin and the boy have to be told the truth, at once. Anna:Robert, I don't care what Dr. Gates said. Robin is our child. We raised her. We loved her. She's ours. Robert:I know, I feel exactly the same way, but we have to let Robin decide who she thinks her parents are without pressuring her to pick us. Anna:Well, of course, she'll pick us. We're her parents. It won't matter to her if our blood doesn't run through her veins. Were the only mother and father she's ever known. Robert:Yes, but we've allowed her to believe we were dead for seven years, remember. I'm sure that's not going to be a point in our favor. Anna:Robert, we did if so she could finally live a normal life. As long as we were in her life, our enemies would constantly be putting her life in danger and she'd constantly have to have bodyguards following her ever where she went and Robin hated that. Robert:But will Robin understand that after we tell her were not really her parents. Then there's this boyb whose really our child. He's a total stranger to us and we're a total stranger to him. Faison really did it, this time, didn't he. Anna:Then we're going back to Port Charles. Robert:Yeah, we're going back. We no longer have a choice on the matter. We can't let this lie continue for any longer. Both Robin and this boy have to be told the truth about their true paternity. It's also time to finally settle up accounts with Faison and Helena Cassadine. Anna:You think she knew about this? Robert:I'm sure she did. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if the old dragon wasn't the one who set Faison up to doing this, herself. Anna(suddenly glances at their son playing on the floor with his toy cars)Robert, what about Malcolm? If Faison did it once, couldn't he do it, again? Robert:Anna, Malcolm is our son. Don't you remember I was there when he was born. There's no way Faison could have switched children, this time. Anna:But how can we be sure. Robert, I've told you this before. Faison isn't human. Before we return home I want us to have tests done on Malcolm to prove he's really ours. I don't want to have to face this nightmare, again, in ten or twenty years from now. Robert:(kisses her forehead)All right, if it will ease your mind, then that's what we'll do, luv. Anna:It will. Veronica's Room, the Port Charles Hotel: Veronica(opens the door to Stefan)Cass, I was beginning to give up hope that you'd take me up on my offer before it was time for me to leave town. Stefan:I wanted to ask the woman I'm engaged to if she'd mind if I saw you, again. Veronica:(panicked)You told her about me? Stefan:Only in a what-if-hypothetical sort of way. I don't really think Barbara needs to know you're in town since you're only here for a short time. We can keep your presence in town just between the two of us. May I come in. Veronica(relieved, holds the door wide for him to enter)Of course.
