GH: Update for Tuesday June 2, 1998

ABOARD THE ISABELLA
Jax has a surprise for Brenda (what a surprise) - the Isabella -  a yacht with
some significance to their almost-wedding two years ago.  Brenda assumes he's
plotting their wedding, and doesn't want to rain on his romantic parade, but
she doesn't want to rush the wedding.  She wants to plan it so that it can be
perfect.  But, he wasn't interested in marrying her this moment anyway...it's
a celebration of their un-anniversary. He teases her  playfully for her
presumptions. They play out cutsie scenes where she finds ring box in the
cake. She eats around it and there's a ring inside.  The ring inside belonged
to Josephine, given to her by Napoleon.  Jax didn't buy it for the
legend...but because pink was her color.  They kiss.   Brenda vows never to
take off the ring.  They make love.   (Is it me, or is their relationship one
big surprise gift after another?).

JASON'S PENTHOUSE:

Jason is reading to Michael from a travel book on Italy when Bobbie comes to
visit.  Bobbie, knowing of Carly's fears about being replaced by Robin in her
son's heart, gently reminds Jason that Carly is Michael's mother. Jason
assures her that he is doing everything to keep Carly alive for Michael.  He
won't let him forget her.  Bobby thinks it's time Jason start planning for the
future and thinking about problems that may arise once Carly is freed.  Bobby
knows that Carly has developed feelings for Jason beyond their friendship, and
she tells him so.  Carly wants with him what he has with Robin.  It's clear
this hasn't occurred to Jason!

Jason explains that all he and Carly do is fight when they have sex and he
doesn't want Michael exposed to that. He will stand by the deal they made when
Carly showed up at his door asking for help. (Bobby seems a little puzzled at
how Jason put this.)  His relationship with Robin won't change that.   Jason
seems to think that when Carly is released she'll just move in with him and
Robin (That boy IS brain damaged isn't he!).... but Bobby explains that it's
highly unlikely that the arragement will work, for anyone!

Jason: Why, there's plenty of room
Bobby: For two bodies maybe, but not for two hearts.

Bobby knows someone will end up being hurt and she thinks that someone is
Robin. He's not going to be able to have Robin, Carly and Michael all living
in the house with everyone living happily ever after.  Robin's attachment to
Michael is growing everyday and there won't be a simple solution when Carly
comes home. She tells him to start thinking about it.

AT THE PC PD HQ
Stefan is upset that he has to wear prison blues and wants his "manacles"
removed.  But Garcia reminds him he is not lord of the manor at the Port
Charles jail.  Nick has to see him, as he is, a prisoner, under arrest. When
Nick inquires about Stefan's  well being and about the food he replies, "Mrs.
Lansbury would weep!" LOL.  Nick is nervous about how to deal with the police
when they question him. He doesn't know want to say anything that will
implicate Stefan or bring Laura into it.  But Stefan doesn't think the police
would have any reason to question him about Laura.   But Nick knows that the
ring and dress belong to Laura and fears what will happen to Stefan if the
police learn that Katherine wasn't his first choice.  It will give them a
motive for murder.  And of course, there was the fight they were having before
Katherine fell.  Stefan, knows he didn't do it but doesn't have much
confidence in the cops to see that.  He tells Nick to not volunteer such
information but not to jeopardize himself by withholding information or lying
if asked. Nick thinks it's great news that Helena has disappeared but Stefan
isn't happy about it. To him, Helena's dangerous when she's invisible and
believe she has retreated to plot her next move.  He knows Helena wants the
Cassadine future (maybe they should actually show Helena doing something
dastardly and vicious once in a while other than a few threats and then maybe
I can see her as some grand villainess.)  Stefan wants Nick to stay close to
Alexis. He trusts her love for him.

LUKE'S OFFICE
Alexis is angry because Luke has framed Stefan.

Alexis: Framing my brother for murder was not part of our understanding
Luke: No that was something I understood I was doing  on my own
Alexis: So the night that we planned to murder Helena, you planned this all
along, right?
Luke: No no I didn't. It was a generous gift of fate and I would have been
stupid and ungracious not to accept it.

Luke knew she wouldn't have gone along with that plan so he didn't bother
informing her about it.   And as for Katherine...she's just a casualty of the
war and he can't ease Alexis' pain by showing her heart wrenching guilt or
remorse.   She doesn't think he has any!  She vows not to let Stefan pay for
their crime.  Luke tells her, it's Stefan's butt or hers.  Besides he doesn't
really think she could have held up to police scrutiny if Helena had bitten
the dust and she'd been taken downtown for questioning.

Luke: I know you well enough to know that two hours of grilling by the cops
downtown and you'd a been singing plea bargain like Flo, the lost Supreme.

Luke things Alexis has actually gotten everything she wanted, by default.
Katherine is out of the way, Helena is on the lam and Stefan is about to move
her from the dog house to the spare room. (That man does have a way with
words!)

Alexis is worried about the state of her life, and Helena seeking retribution.
 Luke tries to pep her up.... she's holding all the cards.  And she should
concentrate on that and use it to her advantage.

Alexis: You're revolting!
Luke: I like you too! But I like you better when you're not playing the
sniveling sap. Come on Natasha it's payback time!

Luke continues to play up the possibilities of what's laying right at her
feet..queen bee of the Cassadine clan.  He wonders if she will get Stefan off
and spend the rest of her life groveling and hoping for his gratitude or will
she bury him and finally be her own woman.

But Alexis regrets her involvement with Luke.  And no amount of trying to
convince her that they share a common purpose will make her a believer.  She
wants Katherine alive, but he could care less.

Luke: Believe it or not, Katherine was ok with me. She wasn't very bright but
that wasn't her fault.  (LOL)

Luke blames Stefan for Katherine's death and every other illness in the world
and tells Alexis that she needs to get over him because Stefan will kill her
if he ever finds out how Katherine really died.

AT THE CLUB
 Tony is about to make his exit but Luke tells him that pariah's are welcome
in his club.  Tony thanks him for the rare kindness.  Luke brings up the fact
that he went to the ball with  Helena. But Tony tells Luke that he was ditched
by Helena, which tells him how much of a pariah he really is.  A full glass is
his best friend these days... Tony still maintains that taking Michael was the
right thing to do but admits he regrets taking Robin hostage.  That was never
his intention.  Luke is way understanding these days, considering his recent
activities.  Bobby walks in and sees her brother and ex husband bonding.
She's not amused.  Luke reminds her that he's in a business...he serves booze
not judgement.  But Luke feels sorry for him...Tony's not free.  He's lost
everything and everyone he loved.

Bobbie: Oh I see. It wasn't sympathy. It was empathy.

Bobbie had hoped that Laura being home would help!  He explains that the
reunion was rocky, and Lucky's rejection cut Laura deeply, as did the reason
for it.  Laura was furious that Luke kept so many secrets.  Bobby's isn't
sympathetic. As far as she's concerned, Laura's been gone a year and now she's
kicked Luke out the house.  (As far as Bobbie is concerned) Laura married Luke
 after the worse so one would think she'd give Luke the benefit of the doubt
on this.... "as if she's never kept a secret in her life!"

BACK AT THE PC PD HQ
Alexis arrives at the jail to see Stefan and Nick makes his exit.  Robin is
there to offer up her support because she knows how painful to see someone she
loves in jail.  She offers comfort.  Nick thinks Mac's involvement with
Katherine in the past might stop him from getting to the truth today.  Robin
defends her Uncle Mac! Nick is worried about "Stefan's peers' judging him
harshly and thinks the people have viewed the Cassadine's with suspicion and
envy since they arrived.  But Robin has faith in justice system (OH PULEASE).
 Even though Stefan comes off cold and aloof Nick says it's just the family
upbringing up. They were taught not to show public displays of emotion and he
fears nobody will see behind that wall.  Robin cheerleads more for the justice
system and Nick thanks her for all her help. She promises to be there for him
if he needs her.
Alexis and Stefan talk about Nicholas and how he's handling it.  Alexis wants
to handle Stefan's defense.  She knows him, and that knowledge of him can save
his life.  No one can represent him better than she can.

Alexis: Trust me with your life!

Stefan doesn't think he'll need her.  The charges are ludicrous.  But he wants
Alexis to take care of Nick and beware of Helena.  Alexis tries to points the
finger at Helena with regards to Katherine's death.  Stefan has not ruled
Helena out and that's why he wants her to protect the prince.   She promises
that she'll keep Nicholas safe.  Stefan trust her with that... and only that.
 Alexis calls in Nick and basically tells him to put his faith in
Alexis....and tells her that the future of the Cassadines is in her hands.

JASON'S PENTHOUSE
Robin returns home.  Jason is deep in thought.  He has been thinking about
what Bobbie has said. But Robin doesn't want to worry about the future.  She
wants to wait and see what life brings them this time.
