live is to team up with him.

Julia babies Brenda while they rehash their father's psychological mistreatment
of Brenda. Julia wants Brenda to return to London with her.
Scene 4
Carly and Jason return from seeing a family lawyer where they arranged for
Jason's name to be put on the birth certificate. They go over all the possible
witnesses to her drugging of AJ. Jason says the only real witness, the
bartender, has decided to "relocate."
Scene 5
Brenda tells Jax and Julia that she feels more at home in her new house, rather

wants to ask Jason specifically *when* Jason slept with her.  Eventually, she
has him tossed out [she makes such a great gangsta-girl].
Scene 9
Julia splits for London.
Scene 10
Luke continues to spell out his belief that Stephan will order her killed if he
fears she's helping Helena, and Helena will kill her if she sides with Stephan.
Alternatively, he hints that if Helena and Stephan happened to be
incapacitated, she, Alexis, would be the top Cassadine, but once again, Alexis
refuses his offer.
Scene 11

invisible [I wish]. Finally, Bobbie asks her to leave.

Bobbie doesn't give him much support on this one.
Scene 13
Carly awakens and ominously finds she is spotting blood.
Scene 14
Jason comes to see Brenda at her home.
Scene 15
Alexis confronts Stephan and tells him that she is Natassia his sister.  He
gives her a look of intense distain.
Scene 16
Jason apologizes for anything he might have done that caused her breakdown. He
tells her he understands her need to get out of the hospital. She asks if Sonny
sent him; when he answers no, she says now he thinks he has everything of
Sonny's, money, organization, power, but he's wrong, then staring into his eyes
she slowly reaches up to touch his face. After he gently removes her hand, she
draws her lips sensuously close to his till they just meet.
Scene 17
Carly in severe distress drags herself downstairs calling out for Jason.  Alone
and in pain at the bottom of the stairs, she rationalizes, "Maybe it's better
this way."
