Temple of Brenda
Room 17
1998 cont.
Brenda booked her first L&B act, Luther, to perform at Luke's but when he didnt show she convinced Ned to fill in for him. Unknown to Brenda, Luther was in his hotel room distracted by Veronica. Later Brenda found out why Luther never showed at the club and when she ran into Veronica at the Grill she confronted her and demanded to know why Veronica purposely sabotaged her. Veronica tried to play dumb but Brenda called her a slut and a liar, and when Veronica tried to say she was just trying to connect with Brenda, Brenda called her demented and told her to go back to where she came from. Later Veronica tried to apologize to Brenda for her behavior and said she was just trying to get Brenda to notice her. Brenda accepted her apology and asked Veronica to tell her about her life which Veronica did until Jax showed up and whisked his finacee away.
Jax and Jerry discussed Veronica and Jerry told Jax he thought something was seriously wrong with the lady. Jax agreed and asked Jerry to find out what he can about her. Veronica came in and Jax mentioned that Jerry thought she was having some kind of trouble. Veronica flew into a rage and started accusing Jax of trying to keep Brenda and Veronica apart. She then accused him of acting on the dead Harlan's orders and started ranting at Harlan that it wouldnt work, when suddenly she snapped out of it and looked lost. At the Grill, Brenda and Jason were discussing Robin and the bombing. Brenda admitted to being scared for Robin and Jason assured her that he'd never let anything happen to Robin. Back at the penthouse, Jerry returned and hinted to Jax that he'd found out something. Veronica took the hint and left. Once she was gone, Jerry told Jax that Veronica had been in and out of mental instutions for the last three years. Jax asked Jerry to find out if the reason was drugs or mental illness. Brenda came home after Jerry left and she and Jax told each other about their day. Brenda commented that you couldnt keep a loved one safe from bad things by hiding them away.
Jax met with Veronica's doctor at GH and learned about her mental illness and how it could affect Brenda. Jax went to Brenda to break the news to her. He told her what was wrong with her mother and told her she had a 50% chance of having inherited the disease herself. He also told her about a test that could tell them if she had the gene but Brenda didnt want to know. She talked about how Jax should go on with his life without her but Jax reminded her of their promise - no one leaves. Brenda told him all the reasons why they should end this now but Jax said that Brenda was fine now and a cure could be discovered, it was too early to give up hope. Finally Brenda agreed to the test. She went to her mother and told her she knew about Veronica's problems. She told her about the test she was going to have and Veronica tried to talk her out of it but didnt succeed. At home, Brenda discussed with Robin the problems and Robin told her not to give up, and said look at how her own situation had improved.
Brenda found out that Veronica had checked out of the hotel and left town. With help from a private investigator she found out where her mother was, and after leavig a message for Jax, she took off to find Veronica. Brenda found her and convinced her mother that she didnt want her to walk out of her life again and to return to PC with Brenda. Meanwhile, Jax had found out about Brenda going after Veronica and took off to get her in a helicopter after he learned that Veronica had suicidal thoughts. The helicopter caught up with Brenda's car just as Veronica inexplicably grabbed the wheel and caused the car to swerve off the road and into the ocean. Jax looked on in horror and then dived out of the helicopter into the sea. Jerry called the coast guard as Jax tried to save Brenda but didnt succeed. The coast guard told Jax that the sunroof was open, no one could have survived even if no bodies were found. They gave Jax Brenda's scarf and he began to grieve.
Back at the penthouse, Jax remembered all the times he had with Brenda: their wedding days;
when Brenda said goodbye to him to go to Sonny; his first meeting with Brenda; their time in New Orleans; their wedding that will never be. He broke the news to Robin, then convinced his parents that he wanted to stay in PC. Alone he listened to the tape machine message Brenda had left him: "I'll be back before you miss me."
