============================================================

At Luke's Club, Jason and A.J. discuss A.J.'s drinking and how he should
avoid Pierce Dorman in the future. Keesha enters and spots A.J. who looks
pathetic. She also makes eye contact with Taggart, who's sitting and
drinking milk. A.J. joins Keesha and tries to talk but they soon start to
argue over his alcohol abuse.  They join Jason at a table and attempt to
make small talk about Robin, etc. Mike leaves to deliver Brenda's envelope
to Sonny. Keesha drives A.J. off after another verbal offense. Later on
Taggart gets her alone and demands that she get close to Jason and find
out about Sonny's involvement with the PC drug trade. Jason comes up and
suggests Taggart leave...he does. Jason tells Keesha that Taggart is a
corrupt cop. Then Keesha turns to Jason and whines that everybody she knows,
or thought she knew, is turning out to be somebody else!  She blubbers about
how much she needs Grannie Mae then throws herself against him and hugs him
tightly.  A.J. re-enters the club and sees Keesha wound around Jason tighter
than a kudzu vine around an Alabama outhouse...he looks stricken.

At GH, Sonny meets up with Miranda. He wants to know if she remembers seeing
Dorman at the airport. She says she can't remember. He wants to continue the
conversation at his place; she accompanies him.  Mike is there with the
important envelope from "someone" (clever old Mike doesn't want to say
Brenda's name in front of Miranda). Sonny blows him off and Mike leaves.
Miranda recognizes Brenda's handwriting on the envelope and, while Sonny is
making them some coffee, she grabs the envelope and runs into the bathroom
to steam it open. Against all Federal laws, Miranda opens and reads Brenda's
letter to Sonny. She gets an eyeball-full and smirks when she reads how Sonny
and Brenda made love. Now she has the ammunition she needs to break up Jax
and Brenda's marriage for sure. She re-seals the envelope with clear nail
polish (hers or Sonny's...I wonder??) and beats a hasty exit from the apartment
leaving the envelope in its original place in the living room.

At the PC Hotel
Brenda meets Jax for dinner. She needs to pick up some more clothing and
stuff. They talk and both wind up in tears. She leaves him boo-hooing into
his Shirley Temple and goes upstairs to their penthouse. He gets a phone
call at the bar; it's Jerry Jacks calling his bro.  They talk business.
Then a mysterious guy comes up to Jax then and says "I think we can do some
business together, Mr. Jacks!"  "Who the hell are you?" asks Jax, staring
at Pierce Dorman.

In the Jacks penthouse
A pathetic Brenda has gathered some pathetic clothing and prepares to leave
her and Jax's love nest. There's a knock at the door...Miranduh stands
outside!
