Temple of Brenda

Room 14

1998

Jax had gone to Paris to find Robin. He told her what had been happening and admitted that he had been wrong to get Brenda released from the hospital. Brenda just hadnt been ready to go home. Now he wanted to make amends by bringing Robin home. Back in PC Brenda was taking a pair of scissors to all her pictures, cutting out her face and then burning them in the fireplace. Later Jax brought Robin to Brenda's cottage as a surprise but Brenda greeted her half-heartedly. She made it clear to Robin that Jason was not welcome in her home and Robin had no problem with that but was still puzzled by Brenda's suspicions. Brenda tried to explain to Robin about her breakdown. Robin came across the mutilated picture of Brenda and asked about it. Brenda told her that she was destroying her model image because that was the only thing Sonny ever wanted her for, that he wanted a trophy. Robin tried to defend Sonny and Brenda assumed that Robin too was spying on her for Sonny. A little later Brenda came in while Robin was on the phone with Felicia and when Robin hurriedly got off the phone, Brenda's paranoia increased. Then Ned came by with the news that Brenda was completely broke and that the tv production company was sueing her for not completing the special. Brenda surprised both Ned and Robin with her reaction - she told them she was happy because with no money and no career she's free of all her worries. Robin made a hasty phone call to alert Jax and when Brenda came in just as she hung up, she accused Robin of betraying her by calling Sonny. Later Brenda apologized to Robin for her accusations and the two discussed how Robin didnt want to leave PC. It was decided that Robin would move in with Brenda.



Brenda decided to pay a visit to Lily's grave. Afterward she returned home to find Jax had made a fire. He told her he had to go away for a week or so. She told him about being at Lily's grave, unaware that he had followed her there and heard much of her discussion with Lily. She told him she realized that it could have easily have been her in that grave and that she was glad to be alive, and glad that Jax was her friend. Later Brenda meet with Ned at the Grill to discuss her legal and financial situation. Ned bought her shares of L&B so that she could pay off the lawsuits, then Brenda and Robin went to find Lucy to see if Brenda still had a modeling job. They couldnt find Lucy but her assistant let it slip that another model was around. Brenda decided to actively pursue her career again and she and Robin went to Manhattan to find a new agent. After numerous rejections, they returned to PC.

Once home, V told her that Jax's plane had gone down. Before Brenda had time to really panic, Jax arrived. The episode was just enough to make Brenda realize how much Jax meant to her. Later at the Grill Brenda ran into a fellow model named Ashley and learned that Ashley was having dinner with Jax. Jax insisted that Brenda join them, she did but was very uncomfortable. She realized that she didnt like the idea of Jax dating someone else though she tried to hide it and told him she's glad he had a life of his own. She told him how upset she was when she learned his plane had gone down. Later, Brenda went to Jax's only to find Ashley there.

Brenda went on a modeling gig but wouldnt tell anyone where or what it was. It turned out to be for an auto show and it went so well that they wanted to hire her for some commercials if she could get her lawsuit problems resolved. Brenda went to Ned to find out what was happening on that front and found Ned and Jax discussing what to do about Jason. When Ned left the room, Brenda asked Jax to dinner for Valentine's Day but he turned her down, saying he had other plans. Later Brenda began making plans and told Robin she had a big surprise for Jax. She was paying for it by pawning her jewelry and maxing out her credit cards.



Brenda invited Jax over and plied him with champagne in front of a roaring fire. She told him she was going to give him the same ultimatum he gave her so long ago, to marry her now or never see her again. Jax sadly told her no and said it was too late for them to be anything more than friends. He told her they had their chance and it just didnt work. He admitted that he was still attracted to her though. Brenda though refused to give up and made plans to wine and dine Jax. She had oysters flown in from Ireland and then took Jax to Monte Carlo to a private casino where she won a bracelet from the Contessa. After returning, Brenda realized that Robin was missing and went storming to Jason. After questioning Brenda about Robin's plans he asked Brenda and Jax to give him 24 hours to find her. Brenda reluctantly agreed and told Jason that if anything happened to Robin it would be his fault. After Robin was found and it was learned that Tony had kidnapped her, Brenda apologized to Jason but said that the same thing could happen again and it could happen because of Jason's activities. Later Brenda decided to hold her birthday party in Robin's hospital room since she couldnt leave. Robin, Ned, Jax and Brenda celebrated with Ned giving Brenda ten shares of L&B and Jax presenting her with the ruby bracelet she won from the Contessa and then pawned. Robin made up a story about rubies being the symbol of true love.



Brenda and Jax decided to attend the dock signing together and reporters flocked around them, asking about their relationship. At the podium Jax prepared to sign the documents when Brenda spotted a gun pointed at Jax. She pushed Jax out of the way and was shot, though it turned out to be only a flesh wound. Jax's parents rushed to PC and fussed over Brenda. Later Brenda told Robin that her plans were coming together and that Jax's parents were eager for her and Jax to get back together. Brenda got to meet Jax's brother Jerry but wasnt really impressed. Jax asked Brenda to help him get his parents to go home, making it sound like it was because of Jerry but she knew it was because his parents wanted them together again.

Brenda was offered a series of national car commercials and learned that a Jacks had arranged for the offer. Brenda meet up with Jax and she let him know that she was furious with him. He didnt know what he had done and she told him she knew he wass responsible for her getting the modeling job. Jax said he had no knowledge of it and it turned out that Jerry was the one responsible. Jerry said he was just trying to do her a favor and Brenda decided to take the job anyway. Later Brenda overheard Jerry on the phone talking about the shooting at the docks and informed Jax that his brother was behind it. Jax tol her that he knew all about it but that the plan was that Jason would be wounded.



Brenda went to NY for her modeling gig and afterwards takes the ELQ jet for her return to PC, expecting to meet up with Ned. But Ned had taken an earlier flight and offered use of the jet to Jason. Reluctantly she agreed to share the flight with him but trouble started when the plane encountered turbulance and goes down. Both Brenda and Jason were knocked unconscious. When Brenda came to, she woke Jason and checked on the pilot, who was dead. They then noticed that water was leaking in thru the plane door. Jason grabbed an emergency kit and told Brenda that they had to get off the plane before it went underwater. They managed to get out and found themselves in the middle of a lake with no way to know which way the shore was. Jason got Brenda up on a section of the plane and she insisted that he get on it too. Back in PC Jax had found out that the ELQ plane had gone down and gets a search started but the searchers have no luck because of the darkness.

The next morning Brenda and Jason managed to make it to shore but found themselves in the wilderness with no clue as to where they are. They decided to try to walk out of the wilderness, arguing all the way. Brenda slipped and started to slide down the side of the mountain, barely managing to hold onto a root to keep herself stable while Jason tried to save her. Finally Jason managed to pull her to safety but Brenda had re-injured her hip in the process. A search plane flew overhead but they couldnt use the flares as they were still wet. Jason told her they had no choice but to keep walking and said he'd carry Brenda. Back in PC Mac offered Jax the use of a military helicopter and he and Jerry took off to find Brenda. Jax told Jerry that the possibility of losing Brenda had made him see how much she means to him and how much he loved her. He also told Jerry that he had been the first one to break the trust in their relationship because he never told Brenda about Miranda. He also related the time he made a wish of Brenda's come true, which was to spend a day with her prince, him.
