Sonny and Lois' Bedroom, The Penthouse: Lois:(as she pulls a sweater over her head)So what are you going to do, today? Sonny:(putting on his shoes)Jason and Justus are coming over and were going to go over stragedy for the trial. Lois:(searching the top of the nightstand)Bensonhurst, have you seen my locket? You know, that one you gave me. I could have sworn I left it on the nightstand, last night. Sonny:Let's check if it's in the bed amongst the sheets. Lois:(as they search the bedding)You know, I had the weirdest dream, last night. I dreamt Brenda was standing over our bed watching us sleep. It must be because we were talking about Brenda before we went to sleep. Sonny:It's not in the bed. Lois:(look around the floor)And it isn't anywhere on the floor, either. Sonny:Look, you go to work and I'll keep looking for it. You were wearing it last night when we made love, so it's got to be around here somewhere. Lois:I'll see you, tonight.(she gives him a quick kiss and leaves) Sonny:(glares at the wall between his and Brenda's room)Brenda!(he storms out of his bedroom) Brenda's Room: Brenda(holding up Lois' locket and staring at it. She looks over at Lily)Just because I took this doesn't mean I'm going to do what you've suggested. Lily(smiling)Of course not.(the door suddenly flies open. Sonny's standing in the doorway) Sonny(storms into the room)All right, where is it?(he begins searching through Brenda's dresser.) Lily(sitting next to Brenda on the bed)He knows something. Play it cool. Brenda(clutches the locket in her clenched fist, then holds the sheet up to her chest)How dare you come in here like this, Sonny. I'm not decent. Sonny:You haven't been since the day you were born.(he walks over to the bed and stares down at her)All right, what did you do with Lois' locket? Lily:Go on the attack! Brenda:Lois' locket is missing, so you assume I took it. Sonny:Lois had a dream, last night, that you were in our room watching us sleep. I dreamt the same thing. Cerullo and I aren't hooked up to the psychic network, so that means you were in our room watching us. That is so creepy. Lily:Maybe you'd better give him the locket. If you try to use it to frame Lois, he'll know it was you. Brenda:You said you and Lois were both asleep. How would you know if I was in your room or not? Sonny:Ever since we found out Carla had been watching us on a camera she planted in our bedroom, Lois and I have been pretty senstized to anyone looking at us. Look, I'm going to give you until the end of the day to put the locket back where you found it. If you don't, I'm going to tell Lois what you pulled in the kitchen, last night. Do I make myself clear?(he slams the door behind him) Lily:Well, I guess we'll have to drop the plan of framing Lois for Carla's murder. Sonny's too suspicious of you. He'll know you're behind it. Brenda:I'm glad. I never liked the idea of framing Lois to begin with. Besides, I can get Sonny without playing any dirty little tricks like that. You just wait and see. Lily:What about Carla. What are you going to do about her? Brenda:Nothing for the moment. I hear she may be brain damaged. She might never even come out of her coma. I may have to do nothing about her, at all, and just let nature take its course. I'm not going to worry about Carla until I have to and not before. Right now, I need to put this locket back where I found it before Sonny follows through on his threat. You come with me. I want you to stand watch and make sure no one catches me. Lab, General Hospital: Bobbie:I understand you had dinner with Jerry, last night? Carly:Bobbie, it was wonderful. We have so much in common. I don't know why we're even doing this blood test. I already know Jerry is my father. Bobbie:The test will leave us no doubt to the matter. Carly:If you insist. Stefan(enters)All right, Barbara, I'm here. Bobbie:So you came, after all. Carly:What's he doing here? Stefan:Barbara, I want there to be no question that I didn't sire that. Carly:You're the other candidate. Now I know Jerry is my father. There's no way a stuffed shirt like you could be my old man. Stefan:On that, Miss Roberts, we wholeheartedly agree. There is no possibility you could be the fruit of my loins, I can assure you. Bobbie(steps between them)Why don't we just let the blood test decide that, all right? Stefan, the lab technician will draw a sample from you now and then we'll all know. Sonny and Lois' Penthouse: Sonny(opens the door to Jason)Where's Justus? Jason:He said he was on to something big and he'd join us here, later. How are you doing? You look a little rattled. Sonny:(looks upstairs)It's Brenda. She's really acting weird. I can't prove it, but I think she was in my bedroom last night watching Lois and I sleep and I think she took Lois' locket. Jason:You think she's going dipsy-doodle again? Sonny:I don't know. I wasn't here to see how she acated then. All I know is I was the catalyst for the breakdown. It's not a comforting thought knowing you drove someone nuts. Just how did she go about getting well, anyway? Jason:You won't believe it. You want the truth? She went to the cemetery. Sonny:What! Jason:It's true. One night she went to Lily's grave and the next morning she was all better. Sonny:Lily's grave! Brenda and Lily couldn't stand each other. You're telling me a woman who went so completely nuts she had to be hospitalized, who cut the faced out of all her photographs, who was completely paranoid, goes to the grave of someone she doesn't like and she's suddenly all better. What kind of therapy did she get? Jason:She saw Gail Baldwin once. Sonny:Once! What the hell is wrong with Jax. He couldn't possibly think one visit to the local graveyard cured her of all her problems. You don't go to the cemetery to recover your mental stability. Jason:Sonny, she seemed to act normal after that. Sonny:Act being the appropriate word. Brenda's the queen of playing "Let's Pretend". Jason:Sonny, what are you saying? That's Brenda's still wacko? Sonny:Yeah, that's exactly what I'm saying. She's managed to convince herself and everyone else that she's fine, but she's anything but. The question is what am I going to do about it. Will Ben ever see Maria on Sunset Beach? ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com
