Sonny and Miranda's Room, Plaza Hotel:
Miranda:(picks up the phone and calls Jason)Jason, it's Miranda. I can't 
find Sonny. he was supposed to meet me at the art gallery where V was 
having her showing, but he never showed up.
Jason:Where are you now?
Miranda:In our hotel room. Jason, you still have a man on Sonny, don't 
you?
Jason:Yeah, I instructed him to keep Sonny under constant surveillance. 
I'll contact him and call you right back with Sonny's whereabouts.

New York General Hospital:
Stefan(carries Bobbie into the emergency room)I need help! There's 
something wrong with my wife.
Dr.:Bring her into cubicle one.(Stefan places Bobbie on the examining 
table as the doctor begins to take her vital signs)What happened?
Stefan:We were walking to the car when Barbara suddenly passed 
out.(Bobbie moans and Stefan rushes to her side)Barbara?
Bobbie:Stefan, what happened. Where am I?
Stefan:You're in the hospital. You fainted. Don't you remember.
Dr:Mrs. Cassadine, have you been feeling ill, lately? 
Bobbie:I've been feeling tired and I had a dizzy spell earlier in the 
day.
Stefan:Why didn't you tell me this?
Bobbie:I didn't want to worry you or risk ruining our trip.
Dr:Any possibility you might be pregnant?
Bobbie:No, I had a hysterectomy years ago. I can't have any children.
Dr:We'll have to run a battery of tests to find out what's wrong with 
you, then. I'll go and order them now.

Sonny and Miranda's Room, Plaza Hotel:
Miranda(answers the phone on the first ring)Jason? Does your man know 
where Sonny is?
Jason:He says Sonny never left the hotel.
Miranda:Is it possible Sonny made the guy and gave him the slip?
Jason:My guy assures me Sonny didn't spot him. Maybe Sonny's somewhere 
in the hotel. Maybe the bar? The dining room?
Miranda:I'll go check and get back to you.(she hangs up the phone. As 
she heads for the door she suddenly notices there's a chair jammed 
agains the closet door)What is this doing here?(she pulls the chair away 
and looks inside the closet. Sonny is laying on the floor curled up in 
the fetal position staring out into space. She kneels besides him and 
runs her fingers through his hair)Baby, what are you doing in here?
Sonny(looks at Miranda a bit dazed)Miranda?
Miranda;Sonny, what are you doing in the closet?
Sonny:(hurls himself into her arms)It was Deke. he shoved me in here. He 
said he was going to leave me in here until I suffocated.
Miranda(holds Sonny's face in her hands)Baby, Deke is dead. You know 
that. He can't hurt you, anymore.
Sonny(pulls away from her)No, he's not. He locked me in here.
Miranda:No, he didn't. Somehow the chair must have fallen against the 
door and trapped you inside. Deke didn't do it, Sonny. It was just an 
accident.
Sonny:(shakes his head)No, he stood outside the door and tormented me. I 
heard him.
Miranda:(Runs her fingers through his hair)Baby, you just imagined he 
was out there. It's perfectly understandable. Deke used to lock you in a 
closet when you were a child and when you got trapped in here it was 
only natural for you to believe Deke was responsible.(she tries to pull 
him to his feet)Come on, baby, let's get you out of this closet.
Sonny(pulls away from her and cowers at the back of the closet)No! he's 
out there waiting for me to come out. If I come out there, he's going to 
beat me.
Miranda:Sonny, nobody is her besides us. Look and see for 
yourself.(Sonny peeks out of the closet)See, it's just you and me.(she 
takes his hand and leads him out of the closet and to the bed)Come and 
lay down with me.(she holds him in her arms as she continues to soothe 
him by running her fingers through his hair)Don't you feel better 
now?(he nods his head)Why don't you close your eyes and try to get some 
sleep. You must be tired. You've barely slept in the past few days.
Sonny:I'll try.
Miranda:Just get some sleep and everything will be fine in the morning.

V's Room, Plaza Hotel:
V(and Jax enter laughing)Mr. Jacks, I can't decide if I'm drunk on 
champagne or on my success.
Jax:Maybe it's a combination of both.(he pulls her into his arms)Tell me 
something, Venus. Will you still be calling me Mr. Jacks when I'm making 
love to you?
V:I don't know. We'll just have to wait and see, won't we. Are you going 
to make love to me?
Jax:Yes, I am. I'm going to make mad, passionate, love to you all night 
long.
V:And when are you going to make mad, passionate love to me?
Jax:Why, right now.(he begins to lower his mouth to hers)
V:Are you sure? I don't want to just by your rebound chick. I don't want 
you making love to me when you're still pining away fro Miss Barrett.
Jax:Miss Barrett who?(he begins nuzzling her neck)
V:I'm serious, Mr. Jacks.
Jax:So am I. Since she's been gone I haven't even missed her. Looking 
back on the whole thing I wonder what I ever saw in Brender.(he begins 
unzipping her dress)Now, V, I'm going to kiss those pretty lips of yours 
so you can't talk anymore nonsense. Just stop thinking about Brender, 
because I certainly have and just enjoy how I'm going to make you 
feel.(he scoops her up into his arms and carries her to the bed where 
they begin making love)

New York General Hospital:
Stefan(as the doctor approaches)Well, have you got the test results. Do 
you know what's wrong with my wife?
Dr:According to the tests, there's nothing wrong with your wife. She's 
as healthy as you and me. 
Stefan:If that's the case, they why did Barbara faint.
Dr:I'm afraid I haven't the slightest idea.
V:
