Luke's Club:
Tracy:So you think Ned was sprinkling Sonny's cologne on Jax's pillow 
and stashing Sonny's underwear in Jax's drawer? Why?
Luke:To cause trouble between Sonny and Jax. But why he wants to is the 
$64,000.00 question. Too bad you're on the outs with your family. If you 
were still in the inner sanctum you might be privy to what your son is 
up to.
Tracy:I might still be able to find out. Mother has a soft spot for me 
and I might be able to get something out of her.
Luke:Good. My instincts tell me this could be important to us.
Carly(enters)You wanted to see me, Uncle Luke.
Tracy:I'll go and pay Mother a visit.
Luke:Tell me what you find out.(Tracy exits)So tell me, Sweet Caroline, 
what's going on at Casa Cassadine?
Carly:Oh, the usual. Fabio dropped by and waved underwear in Sonny's 
face. Cassadine tried to off the old lady. That sort of thing. Look, 
Luke, since the kid is my cousin and he's taken off, there's no need for 
me to remain in the chamber of horrors. I want to move back to my own 
apartment.
Luke:Forget it. I still need you there. I need you to be my eyes and 
ears and to tell me exactly what's going on.
Laura(enters)Luke, I can't find Nikolas anywhere.
Luke:He's a big boy. He can take care of himself. He's got Spencer blood 
flowing through his veins. That makes his a survivor.
Laura:I can't believe how callous you're being. He's your son.
Luke:That changes nothing. It doesn't suddenly make us feel all warm and 
fuzzy towards each other. You don't see him here running into my arms 
calling me "Daddy," do you? Laura, the last 16 years, not to mention how 
we feel about each other can't all be magically erased because we share 
the same DNA. 
Laura:Right now, all I want to know is where he is and that he's all 
right.
Luke:Why don't you check with Katherine Bell. Everytime the kid has a 
problem, he goes running to her like she's his second mama or something.

Wyndemere:
Bobbie(finds Stefan sitting in th dark)Stefan, are you all right.
Stefan:Why wouldn't I be?
Bobbie:I know how much Nikolas means to you. He's perhaps the only 
person your truly love. And now he's gone. One minute you thought he 
could be your child and the next he was your enemies son. Nothing will 
ever be the same between you, again.
Stefan:I'm fine, Barbara. This isn't the end of the world. I'll survive. 
It's not like Nikolas is dead.
Bobbie:No, he isn't. And just because he isn't really your nephew 
doesn't mean you can't have some kind of relationship with him. You 
raised that boy and the love you feel for each other isn't just going to 
disappear because you don't share the same blood. Just hang on to that.

Katherine's Penthouse:
Kat(opens the door to Laura)What do you want?
Laura:Is Nikolas here? Have you seen him?
Kat:No, I haven't. I'm sorry, this really isn't a good time for me.
Laura:If you hear from him, will you call me?
Kat:Yes, of course.(she closes the door and turns to Helena)I'm sorry 
for the interruption.
Helena:It's all right, dahling. Now where was I? Oh, yes. You can't give 
up on Stefan, no matter what he said to you.
Kat:But he knows I'm not Natasha and he's still repulsing me.
Helena:It's because of Nikolas. He was so hurt to learn Nikolas wasn't 
his nephew he's closed himself off to everyone. Especially, you, the 
woman he loves more than life, itself.
Kat:Helena, what should I do?
Helena:You mustn't take no for an answer. You must keep pursuing him 
until he gives into his feeling for you. Until he makes a commitment to 
you.
Kat:I will, Helena, I will.
Helena:Now I must be going.(she kisses Kat on the cheek)Good luck, my 
dahling.(once the door closes her smile disappears to be replaced by a 
look of disdain)She actually believe that. What an idiot. Only Stefan 
would become obsessed with a twit like that.

Quartermaine Mansion:
Reginald(answers the door to Tracy)Mrs. Ashton...er....Mrs. 
Hornsby....er...Mrs. Solieto...What name are you going by these days?
Tracy:Try Quartermaine, the name I was born with. Tell my mother I'm 
here to see here.
Reginald:Weren't you banned from the house?
Tracy:If they allow Jax in this house, I don't see why I'm not welcome, 
as well.
Reginald:I'll go see if Mrs. Quartermaine will receive you. Wait right 
here.
Tracy(hears voices coming from the living room and moves closer to 
listen)
Ned:Well, we're in the home-stretch.
Edward:The opening ceremony is in a few days. Do you really think we can 
pull this off?
Ned:What's to stop us. Jax is a ticking time bomb just waiting to go 
off. And at the opening is when he'll explode.
Edward:How do you intend to get your hands on Sonny's wallet so you cn 
plant it in Jax's bedroom?
Ned:The same way I got hold of everything else. I'll sneak into 
Wyndemere again.
Edward:Let's go over the plan again for the opening ceremony, shall we?
Ned:After Jax causes a scene, we'll knock him out and get his 
fingerprints on the gun.
Edward:Whose going to take a shot at Sonny. I can't believe we haven't 
made a decision about that yet. Time is running out.
Alan:I will. Remember when I was planning to kill Rick and Monica? I did 
so much target practice in the basement I became a marksman.
Edward:Just remember you're supposed to miss Sonny.
Alan:You don't need to remind me of that.
Edward:Oh, I think I do. You're the one who tried to smother him with a 
pillow and run him down with a car. I don't want you taking advantage of 
the opportunity.
Alan:But you're forgetting something, Father. If I hadn't used Jax's car 
to try and run down Sonny, we wouldn't be about to bring Jax down. You 
should be thanking me, instead of haranguing me.
Tracy(smiles)Just wait until Luke hears this.
