Wyndemere:
Sonny:The hell you are!
Miranda:You're what!
Jax:You heard me.
Miranda;That's crazy. Why would you be moving in here. 
Jax:I guess your brother didn't tell you. He's the one who got me out of 
jail.
Sonny:Last I heard you had a penthouse of your own.
Jax:Ned threw me out.
Sonny:There's other hotels.
Jax:But I can't afford them. Me brother Jerry bankrupted us when he 
tried to stave off the Quartermaines takeover of J&J Jacks of Alaska.
Sonny:Oh, so the poor little rich boy isn't rich anymore. It couldn't 
have happened to a nicer person. Still, if you're low on funds, why not 
ask your finger-smashing daddy for some dough.
Jax:I have my pride.
Sonny:Since when? You certainly haven't shown any when it comes to 
Brenda.
Jax:Regardless, I'm moving in.
Sonny:We'll see about that.
Stefan(enters)What's going on?
Miranda:That's what I was about to ask you. Why would you help the man 
who may have tried to murder my future husband get out of jail.
V(enters behind Stefan)Mr. Jacks, what are you doing here?
Jax:I was about to ask you the same thing, Venus. 
Stefan:It's actually Natasha. Isabella, this is Natasha Cassadine, our 
sister and she's moving in.
Miranda:Father's by-blow?
Stefan:Isabella!
Miranda:I'm sorry. I'm surprised after what happened to your mother that 
you'd want anything to do with the Cassadines.
V:What did the Cassadines do to my mothjer?
Stefan(grabs Miranda arm)Isabella, I want to take to you in my study, 
now.
Miranda(waits until he closes the door behind them)You didn't tell her 
Mother killed her mother, did you?
Stefan:I didn't think it had any bearing on the matter.
Miranda:No bearing. She's going to be living in the same house as the 
woman who murdered her mother. And what about Mother? She may have had 
some qualms about killing a child, but V isn't a child anymore.
Stefan:I won't let Mother harm her.
Miranda:When has anyone been able to stop Mother when Mother wanted to 
do something. I can guess why you brought V into this household. You did 
it to get at Mother. But is sticking it to Mother worth causing you own 
sister's death?
Stefan:Enough! I just want your word  you won't tell Natasha Mother 
killed Kristen.
Miranda:Why should I? If I tell V, maybe she'll leave this house.
Stefan:Now thata the secret is out that V is Natasha wouldn't it be 
better to have her here where we can at least keep her somewhat safe 
from Mother? If she's living back at her apartment Mother will have no 
problem eliminating her.
Miranda:All right, I won't tell V the truth about her mother's death.
Stefan:Good. 
Miranda:Now that we've settled that, you want too explain to me why you 
got Jax out of jail and invited him to move in?
Stefan:Isabella, I got him out of jail, but I did not invite him to move 
in.
Miranda:Then maybe you should tell Jax that, because he's just moved in 
bag and baggage.

Luke's Club:
Lafferty:All right, Morgan, what do you have to say in your own defense.
Harris:It was really stupid of you to let a cop see you trying to take 
out that corporate raider.
Jason:It's called loyalty, which Luke, here, has proven that his is 
quesitonable at best.
Luke:Hold on, Morgan, I'm just as loyal to Sonny as you are. 
Jason:I wan't talking about Sonny. I was talking about the mob. You've 
proven time and again your loyalty to the mob is iffy at best. You sent 
Frank Smith to prison. Then years later you killed him. Is this the man 
you want to lead you? Odds are if he ever gets in trouble, he'll sell 
you down the river to save his own skin.
Luke:I had good reasons for whatever I did to Smith. He was trying to 
kill me. Besides, I think we'd all agreee Frank Smith was no great loss. 
He was a dinosaur. People were dying with the mob under his control. If 
I were in charge I'd run it the way Sonny did. But I wouldln't foolishly 
risk the operation by attacking someone when the cops were tailing me.
Mahoney:You've both given us a lot to think about. Let us talk amongst 
ourselves and then we'll give you our decision.

Wyndemere:
Bobbie(enters and glances at the luggage on the floor)Sonny, what's 
going on? Carly isn't moving out, is she?
Sonny:Sorry to disappoint you. Jax and V are moving in.
Bobbie:What is this? The Port Charles Holiday Inn? Why would Jax and V 
be moving in? 
Sonny:Why Candyboy is here, I have no idea. As for V, it turns out she's 
Stefan's sister, Natasha.
Bobbie:What!
Sonny:That was my reaction. I have no idea what the story is, but she's 
here and supposedly his sister, Natasha. Do you suppose now she'll start 
calling herself N?

Stefan's Study:
Stefan(watches as Jax pours himself a drink)I don't recall giving you an 
invitation to move in.
Jax:You want me to break-up Sonny and Mirander. How am I supposed to do 
that if I don't have access to Mirander. She spends most of her time on 
this island. With me living here, I can put the moves on her while 
Sonny's at Luke's working.
Stefan:All right, you can stay. You've got a point and time is short if 
we intend to put a stop to this wedding.
