Temple of Brenda
Room 9
1997
When Jax learned that Brenda was helping Sonny find out who set him up, he insisted that she drop her part of the investigation. Instead, Brenda broke into Cooper's apartment, where she found Sonny already snooping around. When he grudgingly allowed her to help him, she noticed that someone had recently started packing up the apt. Before she could gloat, Sonny suddenly grabbed her and yanked her into a closet with him. Brenda had to comfort a claustrophobic Sonny when the murders returned to cover their tracks. Afterwards, Brenda found more clues about what happened to the nurse.
Brenda was upset when she learned that even though Jax and Miranda were getting divorced, Miranda planned to stay in PC. After a talk with Jax, Brenda decided to drop her end of the investigation and concentrate on her relationship with Jax. When she told Sonny her intentions, he professed his love for her and asked for a reconcilation between them. Brenda said no and asked him to let her go for good. Later, Sonny went to Lily's grave and told her that he couldnt fight for Brenda while still wearing her ring and then buried his ring in the dirt there. He said he knew she understood and just wanted him to be happy. After Sonny left the grave an unseen person dug up the ring, crumpled up a picture of Brenda and then sent her roses. When Brenda received the flowers she paid an angry visit to Sonny, demanding that he leave her alone. Sonny denied being the one to send the flowers. Later he secretly assigned a bodyguard to watch over Brenda. Brenda returned home to a loving Jax, who kept mum about another strange delivery - and Sonny's lurking henchman. The next day, Jax went to Sonny and warned him to stop his games, meanwhile Brenda and Miranda bickered again. Miranda cautioned her nemesis against hurting Jax while Brenda suggested that Miranda stop playing the victim. Later, Brenda begged Sonny to stay out of her life and then called him when another gift arrived.
When Jax and Miranda went to Buffalo to have their divorce papers drawn up, a huge snowstorm struck, causing them to become stranded in a motel. Brenda, who was alone in the penthouse, received another 'gift' and called Sonny and accused him of sending it. Sonny denied sending her anything and became very worried about her 'admirer', telling her not to open the box. Brenda refused to believe that anything dangerous was going on and, after hanging up on Sonny, she opened the box anyway. Inside was a bottle of Deception perfume. After being disconnected from Brenda, Sonny rushed over to the penthouse and practically kicked down the door. He told Brenda that the phone lines were dead and gives her a cell phone. He tried to make Brenda realize the seriousness of her 'secret admirer' and insisted on checking out the entire penthouse. Brenda tried to reach Jax on the cell phone but got Miranda instead. While telling Brenda about being stuck in the snow, Miranda heard Sonny's voice in the background but didnt say anything to Jax. When Jax got on the phone, he told her about running off the road and that they wouldnt be able to make it back toPC that night. Brenda is upset but doesnt let Jax know. When Sonny learned that Jax would not be home that night he insisted on staying with Brenda but she refused to let him. So instead, Sonny spent the night in his limo, keeping an eye on Brenda's building. The next morning, Jax flipped when he returned home and found Sonny keeping watch. Before leaving, Sonny warned Jax about the danger Brenda was in. Afterward, Jax and Brenda discussed their relationship and agreed that it wasnt in the best shape
Sonny's bitter ex-henchman, Harry, had been watching Brenda from afar. He fingered the wedding ring that Sonny had buried at Lily's grave and vowed that the next time, Sonny would lose someone he really cared about. Elsewhere, Jax assured an insecure Brenda that he didnt sleep with Miranda in Buffalo. Brenda admitted to him that she didnt trust Miranda and Jax told her he felt the same way about Sonny. Later Brenda visited with Ned and sensed that her ex was in trouble. When Ned told her that Sonny was in jail she rushed to him. At the police station, Brenda comforted a claustrophobic Sonny. After being released, they talked while taking a stroll through the park, unaware that a hidden Harry had been taking pictures of them. Later, Jax received a phone call revealing Brenda and Sonny's whereabouts and he headed to the park. After Brenda left, Harry overheard Jax threaten to kill Sonny if anything happened to Brenda. The next day, Brenda was horrified to see a picture of Sonny and her on the front page of a newspaper with a sleazy headline. To make her feel better, Jax offered to take her to New Orleans the following week, when his divorce from Miranda would be final. Elsewhere, Sonny told Miranda that she had one week to win Jax back.
When Brenda received another mysterious letter, Jax blamed Sonny and stormed over to his penthouse to demand that he leave Brenda alone. Using a wire-tap, Harry continued to spy on Brenda while she made wedding plans. At Sonny and Katherine's urging, Miranda destroyed her copy of the divorce papers. Then she invited Jax to the beach. When he readily accepted, Brenda got infuriated. She grabbed her pill bottle and headed to the garage. As she stepped out into the parking garage, a hand suddenedly grabbed her.
Sonny grabbed Brenda and pulled her into his limo to prove a point. After lecturing her for going out alone, he asked her for a second chance but she claimed not to love him any more. Brenda told Sonny it was over between them and then went back upstairs to the penthouse. Once there, she looked in a mirror and whispered 'liar'. Suddenly all the electricity went off in the apt. Moments later, Harry burst through the door. At first Brenda thought that Sonny had sent Harry to watch over her. But instead Harry pulled out a gun and held it on her, vowing to avenge Lily's death by killing Brenda and forcing Sonny to watch. Harry forced Brenda to write a 'dear john' letter to Jax and then dragged her off to the catacombs. Once there, Harry called Sonny and gave him instructions: come alone to the catacombs or Brenda would die. Sonny rushed off and discovered Harry holding Brenda hostage. Harry started to lecture Sonny, saying Sonny had forgotten Lily. Sonny tried to convince Harry that he hadnt forgotten Lily, then told him that it was Harry's fault she died. Harry of course wouldnt listen to Sonny and held up a detonator, saying he was going to blow up the catacombs and bury them alive. In the course of his ramblings, Harry let it slip that he was the PC drug source. Learning that, Sonny tried to get him to name his accomplice but Harry doesnt. Meanwhile, at the beach, Miranda revealed to Jax that she still loved him and wanted him back. Jax reminded her that he was going to remarry Brenda and Miranda told him that Brenda still loved Sonny. Afterward, Jax returned home and found the goodbye letter from Brenda. He didnt believe it was real and took it to Mac who had Jason brought in for questioning. Jason said that Sonny and Brenda left together. Back at the catacombs, Sonny lunged at Harry and they struggled for the gun. Sonny yelled at Brenda to run but when she started to do so, the gun went off and she came back. As Harry lay dying he hit the button on the detonator and set off the bomb he had planted. The entrance to the catacombs caved in and Brenda and Sonny were trapped. Sonny tried to comfort a terrified Brenda.
The next morning, Brenda was desperate for a pain pill and admitted to Sonny that she was addicted to them, just as Harry had said. Sonny asked her how it happened and Brenda told him that after the accident she started taking them whenever she felt stressed and they helped. She said she never really realized that she was addicted till then. Meanwhile, back at the penthouse, Miranda wanted to comfort Jax but told him it wasnt her he wanted - he wanted Brenda. Jax told her that he didnt believe that Brenda had left him, not willingly anyway. He said that if Brenda wanted to go back to Sonny she knew he'd let her go and that she would have told him to his face. Jax told Miranda that he knew Brenda was in danger. Miranda reluctantly agreed to help him find Brenda and started going over her good-bye letter again. It was then that she noticed a somewhat hidden message in the letter - the beginning letter of each line spelled out 'help'. They then took the letter to Mac who had Jason brought in again. Mac managed to convince Jason that Sonny and Brenda were in trouble. Jason finally told them about the phone call Sonny got right before he left and Mac has the phone records pulled. Once they get them, Jason takes off. Later he and another man he was fighting with are brought in. Jason tells them that this guy knows who made the phone call to Sonny. After some convincing, the guy gave in and told them that it was Harry who had been using his phone and called Sonny. Mike convinced Jason to tell them what he knew about Harry. After being threatened with both Jax and Jason, the hoodlum finally told them where Harry had been staying. Back in the catacombs, Sonny had a nightmare about his stepfather and Brenda continued to go through withdrawals. They comforted each other and then Brenda asked him what was going to happen to them. Sonny told her that when the oxygen ran out they would just go to sleep - and never wake up.
