Jason's Penthouse: Jason:Marry Carly? But I don't love her. Sonny:No, but you love her son. You want to raise him. But if AJ ever finds out the truth, he'll take Michael away from you and there'll be nothing you'll be albe to do to stop him. But if you're married to Carly, legally you'll be his stepfather. Jason:I don't know, Sonny, it's kind of drastic, isn't it. Sonny:You said Dembroski has threatened to kill Robin. It doesn't get anymore drastic than that. You need to do something to make her see it's over between you two. Besides, aside from the kid, Carly has other points in her favor. She understands the business and the bodyguards are no problem for her. She's the perfect mob wife. You don't have to make a decision now. Just think about it. It could be an answer to your problems. Tracy's Bedroom, Quartermaine Mansion: Lila:May I come in? Tracy:Of course, Mother. Lila:I just had a little chat with Lois. Sometimes, Tracy, I can't believe your my daughter. Tracy:That's because I'm all Daddy. I'm a female Edward Quartermaine. We'll both sink to any level to get what we want. And I'm proud of it. Just what did Lois tell you, Mother? Lila:She told me everything. Oh, Tracy. Tracy:What are you going to do about it? Are you going to tell the family. Lila:Nothing. I'm willing to make a deal, Tracy. If you let Sonny and Lois out of the deal you made with them, I'll convince the family to give you another chance. But this will be your last chance. Do I make myself clear. Tracy:Perfectly. Lila:So, do we have a deal? Tracy:I'll go to Carla, tomorrow, and tell her the deals off. That it's time for her to let Mr. Corinthos go. Jason's Penthouse: Sonny(answers the door to Jax)Candyboy, what are you doing here? I was just about ready to head upstairs and go to sleep. Shouldn't you be all nestled and snug in your bed while visions of corporate takeovers dance in your head. Jax(shoves his way in)I want you to stay away from my wife. Sonny(rolls his eyes)Not this one, again. First off, it was your wife who insisted I handle her career, not me. And, secondly, you of all people know I'm in love with Lois. I don't know what your personal credo is, but mine is one at a time. Jax:I think your wife could counterdict that. It was you in bed with Lois, wasn't it? Sonny:I'm completely in love with my wife and I"m completely faithful to her. Jax:Make sure it stays that way. Because if you don't stay away from my wife, I'm going to tell her about you and Lois and that's obviously something you don't want anyone to know about. The Next Morning: Jax's Penthouse: Jax(opens the door to V)Come in, V. V:No, thank you. I'd prefer to stay in the hall. I've got to get over to C&C. What do you want. Jax:Something happened at the Quartermaines, last night. Sonny knew Katherine needed a new Face of Deception, but I didn't and I'm being kept informed of every piece of information regarding Deception that could help me with my takeover attempt by a mole I planted in the company. V:What are you suggesting? That Sonny knows about your takeover plans? Jax:I don't know, but I need you to find out. V:Is that all? Jax:No, there's just one more thing.(he grabs V and kisses her passionately. Lois walks off the elevator and gets quite an eyeful, before quietly getting back on the elevator and heading downstairs.) V:(pulls away from him)What was that for? Jax:Just to remind you how good we are together. V:I haven't forgotten.(she turns on her heel and leaves) Jerry(standing behind Jax)Still trying to suck V back in? Why don't you leave her alone? Jax:I can't. I love her. Jerry:Then get rid of Brenda and you can have her. Quartermaine Mansion: Carla(enters)All right, Stepmummy, why have you summoned me here. Tracy:I've got good news for you. I'm handing over the reigns of your father's empire to you. Carla:(suspiciously)I thought you weren't going to do that until your family welcomed you back. Tracy:You're correct and they have. So I have no further need of your father's business any longer and there's no need for you to remain in Port Charles. You can head back to New York, today. Carla:What about Mikey? Tracy:You knew from the beginning this marriage was only temporary. Carla:What if I've decided that I want to keep him. Tracy:You really have no choice in the matter. Carla:He's my husband, remember. Tracy:As a matter of fact, no, he's not. Grounds of Spoon Island: Jerry(as Bobbie approaches)So, you came, after all. Bobbie;You didn't leave me much choice. You warned me if I didn't, that you'd come up to the house and make a scene.(she notices a blanket laid out on the ground and a picnic basket)What's that for? Jerry;A feast made for a queen.(he holds out a hand to her) Bobbie:(takes it and joins him on the blanket)Just what all have you got, here? Jerry:A bottle of the best french champagne. It was made in an excellent year. The year I was born. Some cheese. Some bread. And some cheese cake for dessert. Bobbie:I'm surprised you dind't offer yourself for dessert. The Mainhouse: Stefan:Mrs. Lansbury, where's Barbara? Mrs. Lansbury:Mrs. Cassadine said something about taking a walk around the island. Stefan:Did she mention where, precisely. Mrs. Lansbury:I think she said something about the west side of the island. Stefan:Thank you, I think I'll go find her.(he rolls his wheelchair outside and heads in that direction. He travels quite a distance until he hears laughter. As he approaches he sees Jerry and Bobbie together and his blood boils) Jerry(cuts a piece of cheese and feeds it to Bobbie)This is really nice, Red, don't you think? Aren't you glad you came. And best of all that bloody russian can't interrupt us. Stefan(in a fury stands up out of his wheelchair without realizing what he's doing and starts walking towards them) ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com
