Temple of Brenda
Room 12
1997 cont.
Jason and Sonny talked about the business and Jason told Sonny that Brenda was causing him to lose focus which was a dangerous thing. Sonny told Jason that it was scary to have everything he wanted because now he had everything to lose. Brenda told Mike of her engagement to Sonny and Mike was overjoyed. Mike then went to Sonny with Adela's engagement ring and told Sonny he wanted Brenda to have it. Sonny was deeply touched. Later Brenda went to the Q's and announced her wedding plans to them. When she returned to the penthouse, Sonny greeted her passionately, then got down on bended knee, proposed again and gave her his mother's ring. Together they began to make wedding plans.
As the wedding plans proceeded, Sonny started having visions of their wedding night ending in a hail of gunfire and Brenda's death. The visions really shook him up and he told Brenda they would have to go on the run after the wedding if they are to be safe. Brenda wasnt thrilled about leaving PC and all their friends behind but told Sonny that as long as she was with him, she would be happy. Brenda asked Lucy to be her maid of honor and asked Ned to stand up for her; they both agreed. While Brenda was making the rounds of her friends, saying her unknown good- byes, Sonny stood at the docks thinking back on all the good times he'd shared with Jason and Robin, Luke and Laura, and Brenda. His reverie was interrupted by a shot and he turned around to find that the Tin Man had killed Joseph. A fight broke out between them and eventually Sonny killed the Tin Man. The struggle really shook Sonny up and he flashed to all the times he had put Brenda's life in danger and he got scared for her life. Later, at the penthouse, he couldnt stop thinking about killing the Tin Man and whenever he looked at his hands he saw them covered with blood. Brenda noticed the bruises on Sonny but didnt press him about them. She told him that she was ready for anything as long as she was with him and that he needed to commit himself to their life. Sonny agreed and they sealed it with a deep kiss. That night, Sonny threw a private party for Brenda as their last date. They talked and danced and were very romantic until Jason arrived to talk to Sonny about business. Sonny had to leave to met with Davis about the contract that was bought on Sonny and Brenda and was told that his organization was determined to fulfill it. Later that night, Sonny had a nightmare of the when Lily was killed but this time it was Brenda who walked to the car and was killed. He freaked out, and Brenda tried to comfort him but he wouldnt tell her what was wrong.
The day of the wedding finally arrived. Brenda and Sonny talked about what they have meant to each other and Sonny gave her an ankle bracelet to wear at the wedding. Before Brenda could leave for the church, she got a phone call from Davis, which really freaked Sonny. Brenda and Lucy went to the church to get ready while Sonny and Jason prepared at the penthouse. Sonny flashed to his nightmare of Brenda dying and suddenly told Jason that he couldnt go thru with the wedding. Sonny told Jason that he had to leave Brenda in order to save her, that if they got married he was just signing her death warrant. He asked Jason to be the one to tell her and to help make Brenda hate Sonny so she wouldnt come looking for him. He said he was still going to disappear, he had to if Brenda was to be safe.
At the church, everyone was waiting for Sonny to show up. Edward finally told Brenda that it didnt look like he was coming, but Brenda refused to believe that he wouldnt show up. She insisted on walking up the aisle to the altar and said that when she got there, Sonny would be there too. As everyone looked on in sympathy, Brenda started her solitary walk up the aisle with determination. When she reached the altar the back door opened but Sonny didnt walk in, Jason did. He went to Brenda and told her calmly that Sonny wouldnt be coming. Brenda refused to believe him at first but when Jason assured her it was true, Brenda erupted and slapped him. Lucy took a crushed Brenda back to her hotel where Brenda had flashbacks to all the key moments in her relationship with Sonny. Meanwhile, Jason reported back to Sonny and told him what happened in the church. Sonny fought back the tears as Jason told him that Brenda hated him now. Jason said his good-byes and left a devestated Sonny.
Mike visited Brenda in the bridal suite and she gave him back the ring that belonged to his wife, and told him she didnt want any reminders of Sonny around. Mike tried to plead Sonny's case but Brenda didnt want to hear any of it. When Jax learned of Brenda's problems he rushed to her and kicked down the door when she didnt answer the door fast enough. Brenda told him how Sonny had left her at the altar. Then Edward came to see her and insisted that Brenda move into the Q mansion. After a few moments, she agreed. After she had moved into the gatehouse, Jax invited Brenda to the movies, but Brenda said she didnt feel like going anywhere. Jax told her she wouldnt have to, he had brought the movies to her. He had a popcorn machine, candy stand, soda machine and a movie brought in. Then Jax got a phone call from V and Brenda heard him say he wasnt going to the meeting. Brenda told him he had to go, and not to insult her by coddling her. After Jax left he ran into Lois and they discussed Brenda, who was sitting in the dark, miserable. The next morning, Brenda started to have a flashback to the wedding when Jax arrived. She announced to him that she was completely over Sonny. Jax was a little skeptical but Brenda told him she was done with grieving. The two headed out for lunch.
Brenda and Jax arrived at the Outback where Jason is dining. Brenda saw Jason talking on the phone and thinking that he's reporting to Sonny, she grabbed the phone and started yelling into it. When she found it was Emily she apologized to her and ran out. Jax followed Brenda back to the hotel and convinced Brenda that she needed to stay with him, even though Brenda tried to tell him she felt like she was using him like a drug. At the penthouse, V came in to find Brenda clad in Jax's bathrobe but the two were soon laughing together. Later Brenda had another wedding flashback and left the penthouse in a daze. She went to the park, stumbling around in the dark and half-dressed before finally collapsing on a bench, sobbing. Jax found her, took her back to the penthouse and gave her a collection of first edition Nancy Drew books. After getting Brenda to bed, Jax made a mysterious phone call and started talking about Brenda.
The next day Jax convinced Brenda to stay with him while she recovered and the two started to talk about her sister Julia. Brenda told him she and her sister had never really gotten along. Later, Brenda opened the door to find Julia standing there and slammed the door in her face, then left the room. Jax and Julia talked about the situation and Julia decided to return to England. Brenda came back in the room and told Julia she didnt have to leave yet. The two of them made nice and started reminscing about old times. When they got to talking about Jason, Brenda told her sister how he'd changed and that he had been the one to tell her Sonny wasnt showing up at the wedding. Brenda then berated Julia for not showing up at any of her weddings and Julia tried to explain what kept her away then told Brenda she was sorry she had been hurt so badly. The two connected for a moment.
The next morning Jax tricked Brenda and Julia into having breakfast together. Brenda began by confronting her sister and the two spend the morning being honest about their relationship. Julia revealed how she wished she was more like Brenda, so independent, and Brenda revealed how she really cared what her father and sister thought about her. In the end, the two bond and agreed to restart their relationship. Later Julia told Brenda she regretted that it took so long for the two of them to get together.
