Kelly's Diner, Elizabeth and Courtney:

Elizabeth walks into Kelly's Diner and sees Courtney sweeping up broken plates and asks what happened. Courtney tells her Luke Spencer hit Taggert and was arrested. Elizabeth asks if Lucky knows and Courtney says she assumes so because she called Bobbie and Bobbie said she'd take care of it. Courtney tells Elizabeth she's moving to Manhattan and an impressed and happy Elizabeth asks when. Courtney says tomorrow. Elizabeth thinks it's incredible but Courtney tells her she's nervous about the move. Courtney then comments how great it was for Elizabeth to help Lucky with his father and Elizabeth tells Courtney that she did it just as friends, she and Lucky aren't in love anymore. Courtney asks if Elizabeth has told Jason that. Elizabeth asks why it should matter and Courtney says that if Elizabeth had told Jason he might not have married Brenda. A shocked and saddened Elizabeth gains fresh tears in her eyes and asks Courtney if she's sure Jason married Brenda.

Jax and Brenda's Doctor:

Jax gets the doctor to admit Brenda is not dying after all but refuses to say anymore. Jax reminds the doctor that his future is in Jax's hands and that he can go back to Switzerland without a hospital and medical liscense or he can return with a huge donation, so what was the doctor's choice. The doctor reluctantly tells Jax he was encouraged or "bribed" to tell Brenda she had the same disease as her mother. Jax tells him it was Luis Alcazar who bribed him and the doctor doesn't deny it but is nervous. Jax asks the doctor about the medicine he's been giving Brenda and the doctor informs Jax that the medicine couldn't hurt Brenda. Jax then asks about Skye visiting the hospital and asks if she was there to get info on Brenda. The doctor confirms that.

Skye and AJ:

Skye tells AJ Brenda's perfectly healthy and tells him how she found out and all about the Alcazar situation. Skye tells AJ that as soon as Brenda knows she's healthy she'll go running back to Jax and that since she's the great love of his life, he'll take her back immediately. (Poor Skye, getting so screwed)

Plane Crash, Sonny, Brenda, Alacazar:

Alcazar's giving orders on his cell phone to have Sonny eliminated but not to hurt Brenda--and Sonny wacks him on the head, knocking him out.

Jason and Carly:

Carly looks out the window of the prison they're in and says there's nothing out there and that no one's gonna rescue them. Jason and Carly have the same conversation they have pretty much daily where Jason says he never should've let her come with him and that as soon as he found her on the jet he should've taken her home and she says that he should know she would've taken the first flight out here and been in the same position she's in now except she would've been alone and terrified. She tells him that at least they're together. He promises he'll get her out of this but that he doesn't know how yet. She holds his hand and tells him she's gonna come through for him too and that at least they're together. They both notice a guy in the next cell playing his guitar and they ask the guard what's going on. He tells them that the song is called "The Lost Ones" and that the prisoner's playing it for them because they're gonna execute them. Carly tells the guy that her husband will pay $2 million dollars not to execute them and the guard says that her husband's a stranger whereas Luis Alcazar's a friend.

Sonny and Brenda:

Sonny has tied an unconscious Alcazar to a tree and with Brenda is trying to reach someone off the island with Alcazar's cell phone and has no luck. Brenda asks Sonny if she thinks he said enough to his employees that they'll come out here and rescue them. Sonny says it's a matter of who gets here first, Alcazar's men or his.

Elizabeth and Courtney:

Elizabeth asks why Jason would marry Brenda when she's in love with Jax. Courtney tells Elizabeth that because of Brenda's disease Jason most likely felt sorry for Brenda and was offering to take care of her when she got to the point where she couldn't take care of herself. Elizabeth tells Courtney that Brenda was insanely in love with Sonny and he left her at the alter so she can't understand why Jason would put himself in the middle of all this. Courtney tells Elizabeth that Jason didn't make it sound like a real marriage but instead just helping her because she's sick. Elizabeth tells Courtney though that if Jason said those vows then he pretty much means them and that he's really married.

Jason and Carly:

Carly and Jason try to come up with a plan but Carly's terrified that they're gonna be lined up together and shot. Jason tries to calm her fears but Carly begins to cry over Michael. Jason grabs Carly and says, "Carly...do not...lose it. Okay? Listen to me," and he tells Carly that he'll distract the guards so she can run like hell but she cries and tells him she's not gonna let him sacrifice himself for her.

Skye and AJ:

Skye knows what she's kept from Jax will end their marriage but AJ tries to calm her fears by saying all she's done is with held some information but Skye tells AJ she's partly responsible for Brenda being in danger right now because she led Brenda to Alcazar who kidnapped her but she didn't know Alcazar was going to take Brenda like that and that he set her up. AJ asks if she told Jax this and she says that she told Jax Brenda left with Alcazar and Sonny went after them. Skye tells AJ that even if by some miracle Jax didn't find out that she helped Brenda get kidnapped that soon Brenda was gonna go to a doctor who wasn't on Alcazar's pay role and find out she isn't dying and go straight back into Jax's arms. AJ tells Skye that by that point Jax would be so in love with her that he wouldn't even care about Brenda. Skye knows that's crap and tells AJ she's running out of options. She then wonders if that's her answer, that there are no options and that she has nothing left to hold onto, that Jax was never really hers. AJ tells Skye to take Jax out of the country on their honeymoon before Brenda gets back and use that time to let him fall even more in love with her than he already was. Skye tells AJ that there will be no turning back once Jax finds out about her latest pack of lies and AJ reminds her that Brenda lied to him and hurt him too. That she lied to him for four years and she also lied and broke his heart every time she went back to Sonny. Then he tells her he and Courtney are moving to Manhattan and he tells Skye he's doing this because he made a huge mistake of his own and that he has to leave before it catches up with him. She understands and they are both afraid of breaking their marriages.

Jax and Brenda's Doctor:

Jax tells the doctor that it's wrong to do what he's done to Brenda. The doctor says he's told Jax the truth and that's all he's going to do.

Jax and Skye:

Jax comes home to a packing Skye who is desperate to leave and begin their honeymoon.

Kelly's, AJ, Courtney, Liz, Mike, Alan and Monica:

AJ orders from Liz everything on the menu and two of everything chocolate for a little party of farewell with the family.

Kelly's, Zander and Elizabeth:

Zander comes by to talk to Elizabeth who tells him that Jason married Brenda. He tells her he knew because he testified against Alcazar and Jason and Brenda were their together. He sympathizes with how unexpected this must be for her.

Jason and Carly:

Jason tries to get Carly to cooperate but she of course won't leave him but eventually she agrees to do what he says as long as he promises to stay alive. The guards then come to take them outside for a little drive before he kills them. Carly tells them to remember Sonny Corinthos's name because he will kill them. Then we see the guy in the cell next to them watching them leave...hint hint, obviously this guy is going to show up later and that he's some piece of some soon to be unfinished puzzle. As they leave he says aloud, "Corinthos?"

Sonny, Brenda, Alcazar:

Alcazar becomes conscious and tells Sonny and Brenda that his men have the right coordinates and that they're on their way. He asks them why they aren't thanking him for saving their lives and he starts working Brenda's fears. Brenda goes towards him with fury in her eyes but Sonny grabs her and pulls her back. "Okay, you need to uh...you need to go take a walk," Sonny tells Brenda but she refuses to leave. Alcazar tells Brenda Sonny just doesn't want her to see him execute him. Sonny tells Brenda to take a walk again and she asks why. Alcazar says that Sonny will kill him and then buy his men off when they arrive. Brenda tells Alcazar that he's just trying to get Sonny to kill him and Sonny says what Alcazar's really doing is trying to buy time and that he's thrilled Brenda hates him, because at least that means she still cares. Sonny tells Brenda to come away with him and she walks a little with him but then grabs Sonny's gun and runs back, pointing it at Alcazar. (Vanessa's acting was INCREDIBLE here) Now as she holds the gun she begins to lose it.

Jason and Carly:

Being taken in a small tank, the guards stop the car and yell at Jason and Carly in Spanish to get out of the car. Jason manages as they get out to kick both guys and Carly reaches in the car and gets a crow-bar or something like that and wacks both guys in the head, saving Jason. (Loved that!) Together they grab the keys and the guns off the guys and drive off.

Elizabeth and Zander:

Elizabeth tells Zander the last few days of her relationship with Jason and they discuss how much it bites.

AJ, Courtney, Mike, Alan and Monica:

Courtney tells Mike that she's not quite as excited as AJ was and that she's gonna miss him. Mike assures her he'll visit so much he'll drive her crazy. When she mentions Sonny wouldn't visit Mike tells her not to waste her time trying to get Sonny's approval because no matter how much you love him, Sonny has a strict set of rules that pretty much no one has ever passed. (True, sad but true) AJ sits with his parents and says goodbye to them.

Sonny, Brenda, and Alcazar:

As Brenda holds the gun to Alcazar he works her telling her this is her disease doing this and this is what she begged him to keep from happening. Sonny sees that Brenda's hands are shaking holding the gun and that she's in such emotional pain and he tells her that Alcazar's just working her. Brenda tells Sonny that Alcazar's right, that she is crazy. And because she's crazy she won't know him and won't remember killing him and therefore she'll never feel guilty. (Vanessa was incredible in these scenes) She shakes with tears and laughs bitterly, beginning to breath in and out unevenly, acting crazy very well.

Jax and Skye:

Skye works to convince Jax to go away with her on their honeymoon. She gives him all sorts of places they could go and he says, "Anything's good after Switzerland, isn't it?" He tells her he just met with her doctor who also happens to be Brenda's for the last for years. "Small world, isn't it Skye?"

Elizabeth and Zander:

Zander tells her she didn't lose anything worth having. He tells her how beautiful and smart she is and that she deserves someone who can be honest with her and that Jason never deserved her. She interrupts him though and tells him that them making love was a mistake for the both of them and he says he agrees, that they took a wrong turn but that he wanted to turn back to them just being friends. She smiles and tells him what a romantic man he is and he laughs and tells her not to tell anyone else that.

Jax and Skye:

Skye tells Jax that she said she would do anything to save their love and that when Brenda came back he pushed her away so she had to go to Switzerland to find out the truth. She asks him if he can understand that and he says of course he could understand it and that everyone deserves the truth. She tells him she was afraid if she told him Brenda wasn't sick that he would go right back into her arms and Jax is shocked that she could know and not say anything.

Sonny, Brenda, and Alcazar:

Alcazar continues to work her and Sonny asks Brenda to give him the gun. Brenda goes more and more nuts as Alcazar works her and Sonny tries to talk to her too. Alcazar tells her to toss the gun and get rid of it and she loses it, shooting the skye and running. Sonny runs after her.

AJ, Courtney, Mike, Alan and Monica:

AJ says goodbye to his parents and I'm telling you, I love the Q's but A&M so need to grow up and love AJ as much or more as Jason. GEEZ! (Sorry, that was an opinion) Courtney says goodbye to Mike and then while she thinks AJ's with his parents calls Jason leaving him a very sweet, very ROMANTIC and heartfelt goodbye and she goes on and on about how she couldn't have survived without him and how much he means to her and barf and finally she hangs up and AJ's right there, hearing every word she's said and can't believe she's fallen for Jason. AJ gives it to Courtney good but accidentally slips in Jason training their dog which was an OOPS.

Jason and Carly:

Escaped and on the plane Carly begins to lose it and she bitches about Brenda and how Alcazar will never hurt her, he'll just take her away and Sonny will probably die for her but that wouldn't be enough for Brenda. Jason asks Carly why she insists on always doing this but Carly continues to just talk about Brenda and how awful she is.

Sonny and Brenda:

A very much losing it Brenda falls to her knees in the sand with the gun. Sonny follows and is terrified she's going to shoot herself. Brenda is staring straight ahead, acting very wacko (this was incredibly well done) and Sonny tries to tell her it's all right. She tells him he thinks she's losing her mind and he just stares at the gun she's holding, afraid.

Jax and Skye:

Jax blows up at Skye and she tells him that all this worked because Jax sure felt sympathy for her. Jax says, "Brenda didn't need my sympathy, she had my heart." (Can I please punch him now?)

Sonny and Brenda:

Brenda, now sort of in a trance tells Sonny she's hurt everyone she's ever loved and that Luis was right, that she's gonna hurt someone again. "No you're not," Sonny says, "You're not gonna hurt anyone." "Oh yes I am." She bursts out laughing, being very scary at this point, laughing and crying at the same time as she turns the gun to herself, saying over and over how good this feels, all the while, Sonny gets more and more scared that she's going to kill herself. She says, "I can end this you know, just let go." "No you can't," he says gently. "It would feel sooo good," Brenda laughs as tears stream down her face. She screams in relief and keeps laughing like she's lost her mind and points the gun to her heart, making Sonny nearly jump in fear. He moves towards her thinking of how to get the gun from her. She closes her eyes and sighs happily as she holds the gun closer, "Oh yeah..." she sighs. "Remember when you set me free on our wedding day?" she asks and he moves closer saying, "You want me to set you free?" She nods, "It's be so good to be free." She laughs again and he touches her shoulder and she starts to breath heavily, clutching the gun to her chest. He turns her towards him and asks if she wants him to sets her free. She nods frantically, her eyes closed and he cups her face and kisses her, over and over, pulling her towards him trying to get her to concentrate on the kiss instead of the gun. Pulling her up against him, continuing to kiss her, he does manage to get the gun from her, and when her hand is free, she wraps her arms around him and returns the kiss...

(Wow! It was so hot. Maurice and Vanessa can kiss like nobody's business. Good Friday!)
