Quartermaine Mansion: Edward:Tracay, how dare you show your face here. Ned:Lois, what is the meaning of this? Lois(puts two fingers in her mouth and emits an ear-piercing whistle)If everyone wuld be quiet for a moment, I'd explain what Tracy is doing here. Ned:All right, we're listening. Lois:I've tried to approach each of you about Tracy, but with the exception of Lila, none of you would listen to me. Edward:With good reason. Last time Tracy was here she tried to help Jax takeover ELQ. Lois:Yes, but while you banished Tracy, you let Jax remain on the board and Tracy's family. Ned:Since when did you become my mother's number one fan. Last time I looked you two couldn't stand each other. Lois:That was before we got to know each other, right, Mother Quartermaine. Tracy(grits her teeth)Right, dear. Lois:Since Tracy and I have been living in New York, we've gotten to be friends. We kept running into each other and eventually we just sat down together and ironed out our differences and put the past behind us. Tracy told me how much she regretted what she did. But don't you think Jax bears some of the blame. I mean, he's the one who approached her. Edward:It doesn't matter. She should have had more family loyalty than to throw in with Jax. Lois:Come on, Mr. Q. Tracy was just doing what she's seen you do countless times. Edward:Me! Lois:Yeah, you. Remember how you tried to steal L&B from me. How you had Ned arrested when he sang. Where was your family loyalty then? And what about Justus. Jax got him to help him blackmail his way back on the boarad and you didn't throw Justus out. Tracy:That's because he's a man, right, Daddy. Lois:Monica, you said I could invite someone to stay here. Monica:That was before you said it was Tracy. Lois:But you gave me your word. Monica:Fine, it's on your head. Lois:Good, I'll show Tracy up to a room. Tracy(as they walk up the stairs, together)When I thought of returning to the bosom of my family, this wasn't exactly who I pictured it. Lois:Well, at least you've got your foot in the door. Tracy:Don't think this means you've fulfilled your end of our bargain and Mr. Corinthos can be free of Carla, now. Our deal won't be complete until I'm reconciled with my family. Lois:Well, if you want that to happen, you're going to have to convince the family we're buddies. If they see I can forgive you for what you've done, than they'll be able to do the same. But if they get a hint of our true relationship, you can just kiss this family goodbye. Do I make myself clear? Tracy:Perfectly, and as sickening as it is, to get back in my family's good graces, I'll pretend you're my dearest friend. Jason's Penthouse: Jason(answers the phone)Hello. Robin:Jason, it's Robin. I'm in trouble. I need you. Jason:Robin, what's wrong? Where are you. Robin:Jason, I'm on the old Mill road. Jason, you've got to come and help me. Jason(as the phone goes dead)Robin? Robin, are you there? Carla(coming down the stairs)Jason, is something wrong? Jason:It's Robin. She's in some kind of trouble. I've got to go to her.(he grabs his car keys as he runs out the door) Carla(smirks)Perfect. He's forgotten all about the mob meeting here, tonight. Good work, Miss Scorpio. Jax's Penthouse: Jax:V, I have an assignment for you. I want you to don a disguise and get a job working for C&C Management. V:(eyes him suspiciously)Why? Jax:Corinthos is waging war on me. Jerry tells me ELQ was just one of many takeovers he plans to screw up for me. So I need a mole in him camp to keep me apprised of his activities and you're that mole. V:It also wouldn't have anything to do with the fact you want me to keep an eye on your wife when she's around Mr. Corinthos, would it? Jax:You could consider that also a part of your duties. Will you do it? V:On one condition. After I do this for you, you have to accept my resignation, because I'm giving you notice. I quit. Sonny's Office, C&C Management:> Sonny:(as Brenda enters)Lois tells me you want me to help you reactivate your modeling career? Do you think that's wise? Brenda:You mean us working together. I'm happily married, so you'll have no problem with me, but maybe you're worried about, yourself. What's the matter, Sonny. Don't you trust yourself around me. Sonny:You're not irresistable, Brenda. As long as we have the ground rules set, we should have no problem. This is just strictly business. Speaking of which, I may already have a job lined up for you. Katherine Bell is looking for a new Face of Deception. Since you've been out of the business for awhile, I'll arrange to have a photographer help you put together a portfolio and you can present yourself to Katherine. Dining Room, Wyndemere: Stefan(is wheeled to the table by Mrs. Lansbury. He looks to Bobbie)I don't know why you insisted I come to the table.(he bangs his fist on the arm of his wheelchair)You know I hate sitting in this contraption. Bobbie:Because until you regain your mobility, you're going to need that contraption to get around in so you mayaswell start getting used to it.(Bobbie takes Mrs. Lansbury aside)Did you instruct Katherine to take her dinner down at the gathehouse? Mrs. Lansbury:I did, but I don't know if Miss Bell is going to comply. Bobbie:Let's hope she puts Stefan's needs before her o wn. If he finds out she's still living here, I don't know what he's going to do. Kat(enters at just that moment)Hello, everyone. I hope I'm not late for dinner. ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com
