Port Charles Hotel:
Miranda(awakes to find Sonny writing on a note pad)Baby, what are you 
doing?
Sonny:(kisses his distractedly)I couldn't sleep, last night and then I 
suddenly got this incredible idea on how Luke's can become the most 
famous nightclub in America, if not the world.
Miranda:(she thumbs threw pages of pages of writing)You've been up all 
night?
Sonny:Yeah, it was like I said. I wasn't tired. Do you want to hear my 
idea to put Luke's on the map. If I do say so myself, it's brilliant. It 
can't lose.
Miranda:Aren't you supposed to be the silent partner and let Luke make 
all the decisions?
Sonny:Yeah, but once Luke hears about my idea he'll thank me.
Miranda:Sonny, can't you see what's happening, here. You're having an 
episode of mania. I should have realized it last night after the way you 
were acting.
Sonny:I was just acting like an affectionate husband and you're trying 
to say I'm sick. Thanks a lot, Miranda.
Miranda:What about this grandiose idea of yours to turn Luke's into Port 
Charles answer to Maxines? It's just like last time when you became 
convinced you couldn't lose at gambling. You need to check yourself into 
the hospital, right now, and get treatment before this episode gets a 
worse as the last one was.
Sonny:You really love trying to make me think there's something wrong 
with me, don't you.
Miranda:Why would I want to do that?
Sonny:Simple. Because you want to control me, but I won't let you. 
Nobody controls Sonny Corinthos.
Miranda:Sonny, calm down. You're acting irrational.
Sonny:Oh, now I'm irrational, am I? Well, you'd better call the men in 
the white coats to come and get me.(he slams the bathroom door behind 
him)

Plaza Hotel, New York:
V(and Jax enter, loaded down with packages)Mr. Jacks, I don't think I'm 
ever going to get used to shopping in all those exclusive fancy shops. 
I'm afraid at heart I'm just a K-Mart girl.
Jax:Venus, no one would ever guess it. You seemed like a natural.
V:Only because you were with me. You made me feel less gauch and out of 
place.
Jax:Tonight, if your big night. How are you feeling? Any butterflies?
V:Yeah, I'm a bit nervous. But if your beside me, I know I'll be able to 
get through it.
Jax:I promise. I won't leave your side for anything.

Stefan and Bobbie's Bedroom, Wyndemere:
Stefan(enters to find Bobbie still in bed)Barbara, what are you still 
doing in bed? Weren't you going to get up hours ago?
Bobbie:I was, but I ended up rolling over and going back to sleep. But 
I'll get up now. What time is it?
Stefan:Nearly noon. In a few hours we have to be taking a flight to New 
York. Barbara, are you sure you're up to it. You look a little pale. 
Maybe you're coming down with something.
Bobbie:Stefan, I'm fine. I think the reason I've been so tired, lately, 
is because of my kidnapping. I think the trauma of it all is finally 
catching up with me.
Stefan:Damn Spencer, anyway. 
Bobbie:Stefan, don't. Let's just put this all behind us. I'll just take 
a shower and I'll get ready to leave for the airport.

Jason's Penthouse:
Luke:Why did you ask us to meet you here, Miranda?
Miranda:(Looks at Luke, Mike and Jason)It's finally happened.
Jason:What has?
Miranda:Sonny's remission has endedd. He's having an episode.
Mike:Are you sure?
Miranda:This morning when I woke-up, I found Sonny writing this detailed 
plan to make Luke's famous. He'd been up all night doing it. Then there 
was his behavior, last night. And the night before I woke-up to find him 
staring out the window at four in the morning.
Luke:There's also something else to add to the list, but at the time I'd 
hoped it meant nothing. You know that foggy night we had a few nights 
ago? Sonny said he saw Deke in the fog.
Mike:That's impossible. Deke's dead.
Luke:I know that and so did Sonny. He wasn't irrational saying he 
believed Deke was alive. He knew Deke was dead and that he couldn't have 
possible have seen him, so I thought he was all right.
Mike:Miranda, what can we do.
Miranda:Nothing. Just be there for him. Humor him, if you have to. I 
tried to get him to check himself into the hospital, and he got 
defensive with me. Accused me of trying to control him. You guys should 
let me be the bad guy and try to convince him he needs help, while you 
three our supportive of him. If the four of us gang up on him, it's just 
going to make this situation worse and he'll feel completely alienated. 
Let's just hope this episode doesn't become as bad as the last one.

Sean's Office:
Sonny(enters)You summoned me, master?
Sean(gives him a searching look)You all right? You seem a bit edgy to 
me.
Sonny:(sits down)Not you, too. I'm fine. What do you want. I've got a 
flight to catch to New York.(he begins to shift restlessly in his seat)
Sean:Why are you going to New York?
Sonny:The whole Cassadine en familia are going there to attend V's art 
show.
Sean:I didn't know she was an artist.
Sonny:I guess you don't know everything.(he gets up and starts walking 
around the room)
Sean(watching him)I wish you'd light in one spot. You're making me 
nervous just watching you.
Sonny(sits back down)I've got things to do and I'd like to get doing 
them.(he shifts in his seat again and begins to drum him fingers on the 
arm of the chair)
Sean:Frisco saw Faison leaving the island and followed him here where he 
met with Helena. Which is why I've asked you here. I've asked Frisco to 
come to Port Charles to help with the Cassadine case, but he needs a 
cover. I want you to make him the headliner at the club.
Sonny:So he's going to play the old spy-coming-in-from-the-cold bit, eh?
Sean:Exactly. Can you arrange it.
Sonny:Consider it done. Is that all.
Sean:For now.
Sonny:Then I'm outta here.(he exits)
Sean:(mutters to himself)He really needs to cut down on the vitamins.

Jax's Room, Plaza Hotel:
Jax(comes out of the bathroom to find Carly lounging on his bed)Carly, 
what are you doing here?
Carly:I came with the family for V's little art showing. By the way, 
have you managed to get her into bed, yet?
Jax:I thought I'd do that, tonight.
Carly:I have to hand it to you. It was a stroke of pure genius to 
arrange for V's work to be shown in a gallery. How much did you have to 
pay the owner to arrange this? Or did you just flash your teeth and 
drops you pants?
Jax:I didn't do anything. Her work was it's own merit. She's a very 
talented artist.
Carly:Well, it works out all the same for you, doesn't it. If V's 
showing is a success and launches her career, you'll get the credit for 
it.

Sonny and Miranda's Room, the Plaza Hotel:
Miranda(is pacing the floor as Sonny enters wearing sweats.)Where have 
you been? You were here when I went into the bathroom to get ready, but 
when I came out you were gone.
Sonny:I went for a jog.
Miranda:A jog? At eight o'clock at night. In New York. Are you nuts?
Sonny:You seem to think so. Look, I was just thinking how out of shape I 
am and I just thought it was the perfect time to start an exercise 
regimen. I really need to take off a few pounds.
Miranda:Sonny, look at yourself. Right now, a good swift wind could 
knock you over. If you lose anymore weight you'll be nothing but skin 
and bones. 
Sonny(looks at his watch)Shouldn't you be getting to the gallery?
Miranda:I'll wait until you get dressed.
Sonny:There's no sense in us both being late. I'll jump in the shower, 
get dressed and I'll meet you there.
Miranda:I don't know.
Sonny:What's the matter, Miranda? Don't you trust me to make it there on 
my own?
Miranda:Of course I do.
Sonny:Then prove it.

Stefan and Bobbie's Room, Plaza Hotel:
Bobbie(sits in front of her dressing table applying the finishing 
touches on her make-up. As she stands up the room begins to spin and she 
has to sit back down)What's wrong with me? When Stefan and I return from 
our trip I think maybe I'd better get a check-up.
Stefan(enters)Barbara, are you ready to go?
Bobbie(smiles at him and this time when she stands there's no 
dizziness)Let's go.

Sonny and Miranda's Room, Plaza Hotel:
Sonny(is taking a shower as Dirk slips into the room)

V's Room, Plaza Hotel:
Jax(enters)V, are you ready? We're supposed to meet everyone downstairs 
and go to the gallery together.
V(exits the bathroom)How do I look, Mr. Jacks?(she's wearing an evening 
gown)
Jax:You look stunning. I never thought you could look like this. You've 
quite taken my breath away.
V:Good. Shall we go?

The Lobby, Plaza Hotel:
Stefan(as Miranda steps off the elevator alone)Where's Michael?
Miranda:Sonny was running a bit late. He'll join us at the gallery.
V(and Jax step off the elevator next)I hope we didn't keep you waiting 
too long?
Bobbie:We all just arrived.
Stefan:The car's waiting outside. Let's go.
Helena(enters)Oh, good, I got here just in time.
Stefan:Mother! What are you doing here?
Helena:Why, you didn't think I'd miss Natasha's little art showing, did 
you?

Sonny and Miranda's Room, Plaza Hotel:
Sonny(exits the bathroom and heads to the closet to retrieve his tuxedo. 
As he's reaching into the closet, Dirk comes up behind him, shoves him 
inside the closet and jams a chair under the doorknob to trap Sonny 
inside)
