I recorded the six episode Soapnet "Chasin' Jason" marathon. I decided to add 4 additional classic episodes to this marathon edit. These four are also complete episodes with no commercial. All 10 episodes do not have commercials, though I did keep the GH promos. I also included edited portions of 3 additional episodes to complete a sequence as noted below, so those are not complete episodes. This edit is about 7 1/2 hours and will fit on two dvds. On my edit, I decided to also include the episode of Jason's accident, and a few minutes of the next episode as it seemed that would be a good way to start it off. Then I included Carly and Jason meeting at Jake's for the first time as she entices him as she dances around, then I included a partial episode of their scenes when they sleep together for the first time. Soapnet aired Robin and Jason's day in Montauk on 8/20, but I felt that including the 8/19 episode when Stone is remembered and they arrive in Montauk and make love for the first time was an important episode to add. Also they aired the first episode in Jason and Courtney's wedding, so I included the rest of their wedding which continued into the next episode. Also since they included Jason's weddings to Courtney and Brenda, to round out his weddings I also included his failed wedding to Sam.

On the day most merchants and shoppers call Black Friday, the soap world will be marking "Black T-Shirt Friday." The day after Thanksgiving is going to be wall-to-wall Jason Morgan. For five hours, General Hospital fans can catch up on some of the Port Charles resident's most memorable moments, dating way back to 1996. Here is a listing of the episodes that will be shown during the marathon along with a brief description of that episode's action.

Chasin' Jason Marathon Episode Descriptions

December 28, 1995-  Ned is laying down the law to the ELQ corporate lawyers, what he wants them to do with L&B and Eddie Maine.  They nod wisely, and say things like "I can see that you would want that" but then shock Ned that they can't do what he wants. In disbelief, he says "You're lawyers, you can do anything!" but they pack up and leave, passing a gloating Edward in the driveway.  Edward takes Ned to show him a bright new red convertible he's giving to Lois, a "gift from the heart and from the pocketbook".  Edward, ruminating on how Lois will accept this bribe, says "it's too big to blow out my ear."  They are still discussing it as Jason races by.
     At the Foundation, Keesha is at the desk when AJ sloshes in.  She's appalled that he is drunk, and Justus takes AJ home.  When Jason comes in, Keesha is in tears.  Jason berates her for being an enabler and then he storms off home to confront AJ.  They fight (Justus making himself scarce) and then Edward and Ned come in, the fight gets physical, with a crystal glass narrowly missing a horrified Emily, who runs off for Alan and Monica.  They all fight, with AJ stubbornly drinking straight from the decanter.  Alan tries tough love (get into a program or get out) and AJ storms out with Jason right after him.  AJ gets into Lois' new car, and St. Jason jumps right in after him, and at the Gatehouse, Ned hears a crash.
     Robin is wandering around her house, Stone's ashes are on the table, and the bell rings.  It's Brenda.  Brenda discovers the ashes and tells Robin "You have been so amazing. You have been so dignified.  I could use a little of that."  She says she can't go scatter ashes, even though it's Stone's wish. Things aren't working out. They discuss Sonny. Robin is very affirming, agreeing that Sonny loves Brenda. Brenda insists that she can't, it's not about her, it's for Robin.  She leaves.  Robin tells Sonny about this, and he tells her to let it go. They go to the bridge to scatter the ashes, and they talk about the bungee jump and Stone's wish list. Brenda comes, and Robin asks Sonny to accept her. Robin scatters the ashes with flashbacks of the bungee jump, very impressive, three-hanky stuff. Sonny and Robin back at the house.  "Now it's just a box."  Sonny says "We did good.  It's a good thing."  Again he won't talk to Brenda. He checks his messages, and the Grand Jury verdict is in.

December 29, 1995 (Partial)-  Ned arrives at the scene of AJ's car crash and finds Jason unconscious on the ground. AJ awakens, but Jason appears badly injured. Ned sees that AJ is drunk and quickly drags him away.

May 6, 1996-  Already rattled by his viewing of the amateur video showing Justus running from the scene of a crime, Edward is shaken further after Luke appears at the mansion with angry accusations about a cover up involving a member of the Quartermaine clan. Dara drops into Kelly's for a cup of coffee and is taken aback when the diner's proprietor coldly refuses to serve her. Sonny and Brenda's passionate clinch is interrupted by the probing searchlight of a helicopter hovering overhead. After forcing Brenda to promise that she won't breathe a word of what happened between them, Sonny hurries out of the cabin to signal for help. As Monica's party breaks up, Carly feigns modesty while accepting kudos for her role in pulling off such a successful surprise. Jason treats Robin to supper at Kelly's and promises to repay his debt to her as soon as he starts earning a larger paycheck. After discussing possible career choices, Jason invites his dinner companion to drive with him up the coast to watch the sun rise. Robin begs off, reminding Jason she's still trying to shake the cold she caught the night they nearly jumped off the bridge. Opening a gift she assumes to be from her husband, Monica is thrilled to find a watch that closely resembles one which belonged to her mother. In a dive on the outskirts of town, Carly's flirtatious behavior draws the attention of Jason and another man on an adjoining barstool. Carly dances around as Jason watches. They meet, flirt as they play pool. Great early Carly episode!

May 27, 1996 (Parital, edited to Jason)-  The entire first scene consists of Jason lying directly on top of Robin and kissing her on the floor of the boxcar. She thinks she is ready to make love to him, but Stone pops into her head as she kisses Jason. She sits up, angry and frustrated with herself, and she explains to Jason what is happening, and he takes it well. Jason goes to the bar, frustratedly shoots some pool. Carly's there in a black dress, they talk a while, and she says (about the pool game) "It'll cost you. A quarter." Jason cleverly asks "What will?"  Jason says he doesn't like games, she says okay. He says "My room's upstairs." She says "Good." He says "Let's go."  Next is a classic scene as Jason rips the condom package open with his teeth. The background music was "Obsession" by Animotion. This is the first time Jason and Carly have sex.

August 19, 1996-  Gina comes in Luke's and thanks Sonny again for rescuing her from Kevin. Sonny says Kevin's not always so bad and that he helped Stone. Gina asks Mike if he knows Sonny and says he looks sad. Sonny looks pensive. Mike says sometimes the sadness just sneaks up on Sonny. Sonny comes over and asks Mike to open a bottle of wine for he and Gina to celebrate Stone's birthday. Gina says she thought she was the only one who remembered. Sonny says he's sure Robin remembers too but "she's moving on, God bless her." Gina, Mike and Sonny toast to Stone. Gina thanks Sonny again. Sonny says meeting her was like a gift from Stone. Sonny offers Mike to take her home and won't let her go home alone even thought she just lives at Kelly's. Mike takes her home, and Gina says Stone was lucky to have him. Alone in the club, Sonny lifts a glass to honor Stone's birthday.
     Jason and Robin in a hotel. Jason asks why the hotel asked to check Robin's credit card; Robin said they probably thought it was a little strange with Jason trying to pay $900 in cash. Robin and Jason banter. Robin is a little somber but she says everything is perfect. She and Jason go outside and stare into the night at the ocean. Avoiding what's bothering her, Robin asks if Jason wants to go swimming. Jason calls her on it and says she doesn't have to lie to him, "ever." He asks what's wrong.
After a sad pause, Robin says it's Stone's birthday. Jason comes over and holds her. Robin says she remembered about Stone's birthday when she signed the credit card receipt and realized it was Aug. 19. She thinks about last year when he was in the hospital getting treatment for CMV to try to prevent his eventual blindness. Jason remembers what Robin said at the Nurse's Ball: "It caused him unspeakable pain and stole his eyesight." Robin is amazed and touched that Jason remembered. Jason said he remembers every word of her speech and that she was "the bravest thing I ever saw." Robin says she didn't think she could get through her speech but when she looked up and saw him and he gave her strength. Jason says she does the same for him.
     He goes back in the room, grabs their things and, heading for the door, says he's taking her home because it's Stone's birthday and she's sad. Robin says she's happy to be there with him and although she loves and misses Stone, she wants to be with Jason and to stay where they are. They kiss. Jason breaks away from their kiss and says he can't stop wanting her. Jason says he doesn't want to hurt her and that he understands that she can't help it if she doesn't want him that way. Robin says she really does and that she dreams about being with him. Jason is confused. He says he wants to have sex with her but he knows they cant because Stone is "still in her heart." Robin says she used to think that, but Jason has a separate place in her heart. She says she wants to make love, but she doesn't want to put him at risk for HIV. He says he understands that her fear of putting him at risk would ruin sex so "I guess we'll never do it." Robin says "can I tell you how much I just hated hearing that?" Jason says he hates it because he thinks she's beautiful and just wants to hold her.
     Robin and Jason negotiate how they can be together, kissing, touching, and holding one another. Jason says he is willing to do whatever she feels comfortable with Looking like she's trying to convince herself, Robin says "I'm not afraid." She and Jason kiss some more and go for the bed. Later, Jason and Robin are together in bed caressing one another. Robin says she can't believe they can be together this way without having sex. Jason says if she has any other ideas, she should just speak up.
     Alan and Monica are still dining at the restaurant. Monica says she can't believe that the hospital is in such dire financial straits. Alan says Steve's love for the hospital lead him to bring in all these research projects that overextended the hospital. Alan says he has a "sickening feeling" that Steve ended up putting in a lot of his own money. Monica is shocked that Steve, the pragmatist, could let things get so out of control. Alan says he thinks Steve was following his heart. Alan says he doubts Audrey knew and that he won't tell her. Alan's strategy to save the hospital, "Cassadine".
Monica is reluctant to count on the C's. Alan says he doesn't have a lot of other options, he's burned his bridges with Sonny and Edward's not interested in an investment where there will be no return. Monica says she knows but she hates it. Monica's only other alternative is to let Mercy take over and throw themselves on their mercy. Alan says he thinks Monica is starting to sound like Dorman: "Take what you can get, do what's expedient," and says that isn't the right answer. "Sometimes you've got to fight the good fight Monica. I mean try to remember you are a Quartermaine. We do that sometimes." Monica lets the Dorman barb pass and says GH is lucky to have Alan fighting for it. Alan and Monica looking sympathetic. Monica asks if Alan is disappointed about postponing the surgery. Alan says not really and then asks why they're talking shop when they're supposed to be celebrating. Monica said dinner was special because they got through it without having an argument. Alan agrees and gives her a rose.
     Nik wants to know what Stefan and Laura talked about. Stefan says Nik knows but if he wants to play games. Stefan said that after Alan and he had their meeting, Alan went over to Monica for "what appeared to be some sort of vague, half-hearted celebration of something." He said that "suddenly, halfway through her entree, Laura got up, went over to their table, and announced that you were her son., Fine move on your part. I applaud you." Nik looks stunned and perplexed.
     Luke and Lucky and Laura come in the house. Lucky seems to be very wired up and says he wants to stay up late to watch a movie. Lucky asks if Lulu is in her room and Laura says she's sleeping. Lucky says things are "almost back to normal, sort of" in his surly teenage voice and says goodnight only to Luke. Laura looks uncomfortable and Luke avoids looking at her. Laura says to go ahead and yell before he explodes. Luke doesn't want to fight, he just wants to hold a grudge. Laura says she had to tell Alan and Monica because she didn't want Nik to believe she was ashamed of him. Luke makes a snide comment about Laura being a "fierce mama bear." Laura tries guiltily to apologize but says she had to do what she did. Luke says she did what Stefan wanted her to do "again." Luke says Stephan's has been using Laura's guilt to get her to do what he wants. Laura perceptively says "really, I had no idea you saw me as so weak." Luke fires back with a condescending remark that starts with "woman" and ends with "darling."  Laura says she resents that.
     Back at the castle, Stephan commends Nik on what he said to provoke Laura to acknowledge him as her son. Nik says he didn't do anything and gets angry that she called herself his mother. Stephan turns it around and makes out like Laura is some kind of egomaniac who "gives herself the right" to claim motherhood and apologizes to Nik for Laura's "selfishness." Nik says he can't understand why she would speak of him so publicly or at all. Stephan implies that Laura wanted to let the "influential Quartermaine doctors" know her side of the story first because they are very powerful people around town. Luke says he thinks it's funny that Laura resents what he said. Laura said Stefan didn't manipulate her, she manipulated him. Luke is skeptical. Laura says they've been feeding Nik with lies about her and Stefan was needling her and next thing she knew she was over at Alan and Monica's table. She realizes she acted impulsively and played right into Stefan's hands and she's apologizes to Luke. Luke says she's never been any good at chess and that the Cassadines have all their moves mapped out. Now that she's claimed Nik as her own, Luke is sure Stefan is going to use it against them in some way. Luke walks out, leaving Laura sitting distressed on the bed. She gets up and looks at the picture of her family.
     Laura realizes that Stefan will try to use what she said against Nik and tries to call him. Stefan answers the phone. Laura asks him not to tell Nik about what happened and says she wants to tell him herself. With Nik right behind him, Stefan calls her Lasha and asks what she wants to keep from Nik. Nik grabs the phone. Laura tries to explain what happened earlier but he says he doesn't want to hear her "lies" and that Stefan already told him the truth. He said he wants to go to the Q's and tell them his side of the story, which will make her look bad. Laura apologizes for telling others about him without talking to him first. He says he didn't come to town to find her, he came to save his sister. Laura wants to explain, but Nik says he doesn't want to hear it and Stefan grabs the phone. He blames Laura for having to do "major damage control" with Nik. Of course, as Laura points out, he left out his role in goading her. Stefan says she's whining and he doesn't have time for it. and hangs up. Stefan leaves a message on Alan's machine saying he needs to ask a favor of him.
     Sonny is drinking at the bar when Luke comes in. Luke asks what Sonny would make of Alan and Stephan "putting their heads together over dinner." Sonny says the hospital is in trouble and Alan already asked him for help. Luke says Stefan's working to make himself a town hero. Sonny offers again to "handle" Stefan. Luke says if Stefan's still standing when he gets through with him and Sonny wants, he can have a shot at him too. Luke and Sonny toast to his plan for Stephan Laura and Lucky at home. Laura says she thought he had his heart set on watching the movie. Lucky said he kept thinking about Lulu and ended up in her room, as did Laura. Lucky asks where Luke is? She says Luke went for a walk because he's angry at her and Lucky will be too. He says he doesn't want to be. She asks to let it lie for a night and he says he can't. Laura tells Lucky she told Alan and Monica about Nik, Stephan told Nick, Nik got upset. She asks Lucky if he's upset too. Lucky says it's okay and that it's important not to have secrets but he's clearly upset about Laura being upset about Nik being upset.
     Sonny is still at the club. Mike comes back from taking Gina home and wants to take Sonny home. Sonny asked when was the last time he took orders from him. Sonny says "made it through another one." Mike replies, "You know something, you'll make it again tomorrow." Luke walks in the bedroom behind Laura. Laura gets a phone call from Stefan saying that he thinks he made have made a mistake in telling Nik what happened. He says Nik is very upset and they should meet. Laura says she would gladly do anything to help. Behind her, Luke glares. Stefan picks up the phone and says to someone, "Is everything alright? Good, be ready."

August 20, 1996-  Robin and Jason have a cuddly moment the morning after. She then calls Mac to let him now she was fine. They banter a bit, Mac is upset but not angry. He and Robin agree to spend some quality time together before she goes to Yale. Robin and Jason frolik the day away on the Montauk beach. When he makes dinner reservations at the hotel restaraunt a rival mobster notices it. Mac and Garcia discuss the Felicia's stalker. Garcia still leans to Tom being guilty but Mac is now sure Tom is innocent. Especially since Tom didn't break down when Mac confronted him. Lucy is pacing in Ryan's den saying "No,no,no" as she flashes through scenes of her mate's abberant behavior. Ryan comes in and asks what she is saying no about. She says she is thinking about the Felicia's stalker. Lucy starts talking about their relationship in terms of Felicia and Tom's but Ryan doesn't catch on. Lucy just about cinches in her own mind that Ryan is the stalker. She starts saying that Felicia should always trust Tom and not have pulled the gun on him, Ryan maintains that given the situation she was correct. Eventually he asks her what she would've done. Lucy starts down one path then changes mid course, and says she would've used her investigative skills. When he leaves she picks up one his psych books and leaves it open by his picture, where he later on finds it. Ryan went to see Mac with hamburgers in hand. He says to Mac that the stalker must know Mac pretty well too. By this time Mac is thinking Ryan is it. Tom is listening to one of the tapes much to Fily's chagrin. He is trying to figure out what were the original situations that the words were said.

December 16, 1997-  Katherine walks in on Stefan sitting beside Nik's bed, and chides him for his ability to sleep upright. She nuzzles him and asks if he would rather lie down. Nik starts to scribble on his notepad, Nik asks about sarah, and Katherine mentions the Family Only policy. Bobbie enters and Katherine quizzes her about the policy. Bobbie says that it wasn't the hospital's doing. Katherine leaves to talk to Sarah. Bobbie asks a cranky-looking Stefan if he has problems with the care Nik's receiving. Stefan gripes that he has no problem with the care, just the care-giver. Bobbie replies: "If I give you a pen and paper, would you stop talking too?" Stefan asks if Laura knows. Bobbie says "no". Stefan puffs up and tries to threaten her about telling Laura but Bobbie is unphased. "Take it up with her husband" she says "Maybe you'll find that you two actually agree on something."
     Sarah tells Katherine that Stefan blames her for Nik's accident. Katherine says she'll talk to Stefan. Back in Nik's room, Bobbie tells Nik he's doing great and then starts to leave, but not before she zings a looming Stefan one more time with, "Oh! I forgot to poison him!" Stefan follows her out of the room, making veiled threats about her past drug theft, and vowing revenge against Luke and Jason. Bobbie says "I'd love to see you take this up with Jason Morgan." And adds helpfully: "Do you need his address?" Stefan insists that he doesn't.
     Jax rushes to Brenda's side and says that he won't let Sonny hurt her. He then calms Brenda and she lies down. Jax then talks to Lucy about damage control. Lucy worries that Star-TV will air the Brenda Breakdown footage, so Jax sends Lucy to work with V and he calls the Head Honcho at Star-TV. But just as he's connected, Head Honcho guy walks up behind him. He tells Jax that they have to air the footage, and there's nothing he can do about it, because the news guys already know. Jax offers to buy Star-TV. Head Honcho shakes his head and walks away. Jax calls Lucy and V to set Plan B in motion. And when Head Honcho returns, he says that suddenly none of the major affiliates will air his newscast tonight, and he's forced to pull the tape of Brenda. Jax triumphs in his attempt at censorship. Jax has a brief conversation with Brenda's doctor/caregiver about when she can be released, and then sits with a sleeping Brenda, telling her that Sonny will never touch her again.
     Alan walks in on Tony smashing Carly's picture and knows there's something wrong. Tony tells Alan about the breakup and how he hasn't loved Carly for months, and that he was just playing along for the baby's sake. Alan points out (quite astutely) that that makes Tony a liar, too. Then, Tony tells him about Carly's latest lie, that Jason is the father of her baby. Alan thinks Carly is telling the truth. Alan says he wouldn't know anything about Jason's private life, but Tony continues to press him. He asks about Jason and Robin, and Alan replies that Jason had asked him about HIV and sex, causing an already-pale Tony to look pretty scared. Tony wonders if he should have an HIV test. Alan asks Tony why he would be concerned about HIV if he knows Carly is lying and Tony admits that he's not sure if Carly is lying.
Alan tells him about the negative covert/illegal HIV test he ran on Jason after Jason was shot. This seems to put Tony somewhat at ease. Tony asks Alan not to tell anyone. Alan insists that his family know about this, since this could involve a potential grandchild. A parting shot from Alan involves a statement of irony, that just as he was fighting for custody of Jason, fate stepped in and "took care of" the situation (i.e. Susan Moore was murdered). Then, he tossed off the "Sometimes when god closes a door, he opens a window." Alan pauses outside the door, obviously bowled over by the possibility of Jason becoming a father.
     Jason ushers a wet and weeping Carly past his mob associates and tells her to wait in another room while he finishes his business. Benny says that he liked Sonny and all, but that he let Brenda get in the way of his running the organization and that he was certain that Jason would never do such a thing. The Mob Guys leave and Jason calls Carly back into the room. She proceeds to tell him EVERYTHING. She's Bobbie's daughter, she only went after Tony to get to her (but later, fell in love with him), her real name is Caroline Benson. The whole saga of the last two years comes tumbling out in a ten-minute exposition.
Then, she says that Tony might not be the father of her baby, because she slept with another man after she had a fight with Tony. Jason guesses that the other potential father is AJ. Carly asks him how he knew. Jason reminds her that they used his bed, and that AJ was hung-over and forgetful the next day, while Carly was lying about something. Carly asks why Jason didn't say anything, and Jason replies, "When you know people had sex, is there a particular comment you're supposed to make?" and then adds later that it would've been nice if they'd made the bed.
Carly, on a truth roll, then admits to drugging AJ. Jason interjects, "Because he didn't want to have sex?" Carly responds "of course not!" and launches into that whole sordid tale, and also tells him that she told Tony that Jason was really the father. Jason is impressed by her lying skills, but states for the record that he won't lie directly to anyone about the paternity of Carly's baby. But he won't deny it, either. Carly says that's good enough for her. She just wants to buy time until the baby's born. Jason offers her a place to stay, and then warns her of the possible danger of associating with him. Carly accepts the room and the situation. Jason then observes that Carly never seems to be able to get away with anything, but he likes the fact that she keeps trying. He supports her fight to keep the baby, and doesn't know why AJ and Tony are putting up such a fuss, "They already got to have sex with you, what more do they want?" As a parting shot, Jason reiterates the deal, Carly does all the lying, and he does no denying.

SEPTEMBER 9, 2002-  Carly had a nightmare that Sonny was shot and dying in her arms. She woke up and went downstairs where Sonny found her. She told him about her nightmare and they talked about it and then talked about what her dreams were. She didn't really want to  talk about it but Sonny asked why she could share her nightmare with him but not her dreams. So she told him about the mansion and butler and all the other stuff.
     Jason and Elizabeth talked. She mentioned about making a mistake sleeping with Zander. Jason said he saw them and she asked why he didn't let her know. He finally admitted to wanting her but warned her that there would be times when he had to leave and couldn't tell her where he was going or what he was doing. She said she understood.
     At the hospital, Luke was holding a gun on Scott and two guards. Alexis showed up and talked him out of shooting Scott. After Luke was taken away Scott told Alexis the case was closed.  "You sanctimonious hypocrite, I'll shoot you myself," Alexis told Scott.
     Lucas, Maxie and Georgie were sitting outside of Kelly's when some of Alcazar's men got to them and grabbed Maxie and Georgie. Felicia heard a scream and went running out. Lucas told her he tried to stop them but they got Maxie and Georgie. Roy told Felicia he would get them back. He took off and Mac showed up. Felicia didn't tell him what happened and he jumped to the conclusion that the girls were giving her a bad time. She didn't correct him. Later, after Roy had been to see Alcazar, he returned to tell Felicia the girls are okay. She was hysterical and wanted to call Mac. Roy said no, they would get them back. Inside Kelly's, Bobbie was with Nikolas, Lucky and Gia. She was defending Luke, as was Lucky. Lucky and Nikolas were at each other's throats again. Gia was fed up with them and told them to act together for their mother's sake and for Lulu. Lucky took off to see Luke.
     Alexis was trying to get Luke to talk and tell her exactly what happened with Scott, Laura, Rick Webber and the late Teresa Carter. He was saying nothing. He told her to leave, she wasn't his lawyer. Lucky went to see him and he said Laura was where she should be right now. He said he didn't want to see his dad in jail and Luke said he wasn't going to be in jail. He has some plan up his sleeve, as usual.
     On the yacht, Brenda was trying to get Diana to help her to get to Sonny to warn him. She told Diana that Luis said he would help her keep her friends safe but he was going back on his word. Nobody would help her. The doctor was called and wanted to give her something. She didn't want it, she wanted off the yacht to warn a friend.  Roy showed up and had Alcazar in a stranglehold. He wanted to see for himself that Maxie and Georgie were safe. He talked to Maxie and she said they were okay but were scared. They were given hamburgers and sodas. Alcazar told Roy that he was to eliminate Sonny.

OCTOBER  29 , 2002-  Edward is not happy that Jason and Brenda are married, and will not be leaving this alone. Brenda lies and says that Jason proposed to her, not the other way around. Brenda claims that she and Jason have always loved each other. In reality, when Brenda proposed, Jason asked why in the hell he would want to marry her. Brenda relayed to Jason that she intended to break up Sonny and Carly, and that's why Jason married her. Brenda goes on to fabricate the appearance of her and Jason having a relationship, and tells Lila that she's happy. Monica says she wished they could have given her a big wedding. Brenda says they got married in Vegas in a wedding chapel. Brenda starts remembering that she hated the chapel, as it is gaudy and cheap. The chapel staff offers them various specials, but Jason and Brenda just want to get it over with. The whole scene is cheesy. Brenda lies and says the wedding in Vegas was romantic. Alan asks "In Vegas?" Brenda remembers the scene with the staff trying to put a wedding veil on her head. Jason balks at a blue tuxedo and top hat. Brenda looks ridiculous in her Salvation Army garb. The wedding was complete with accordion music. Brenda lies and says she never saw Jason so happy. Edward remarks he hasn't seen Jason happy since the accident. In the flashback, gold digging Brenda only promised to love Jason "for richer". They didn't even have wedding rings.
     At the conclusion of the wedding, the official asks if there's any chance the groom would be kissing the bride, to which Jason responded "no way". Edward questions where Jason is now, and Brenda claws for an excuse, saying their wedding night was so wonderful that she doesn't need a honeymoon. In reality, we see a scene where Jason pushed Brenda off an elevator after she tried to flirt with two unknown men. We then see them in a tacky honeymoon suite complete with disco ball and disco music. Jason tosses a box at her and tells her to pick out whatever ring she wants. Courtney admires Jason's plain gold band. Jason says Brenda picked it out, and Courtney says it must havetaken her a long time to do it. It's a plain, gold band. Jason then reveals that Brenda is dying.
     Jason talks to Courtney and tries to explain his marriage to Brenda. Jason tells Courtney that it was Brenda's idea to get married, she asked and Jason accepted. Courtney wants to know if Brenda and Jason are in love, no, they aren't. Jason remembers that Brenda was blackmailing him into marriage to keep Sonny's marriage intact. Jason tells Courtney that they eloped to Vegas, and Courtney says she can't imagine him in a tacky chapel. She asks about wedding pictures and Jason tells her a video is coming. Jason keeps sidestepping the question "Do you love her?"      Outside Kelly's, Gia nags Ned about marrying Alexis. Gia says she thinks Alexis won't get over this, and Ned asks what Alexis has said. Courtney remembers that when she married AJ, she felt it was wrong to make promises to a man she barely knew. Courtney continues to overromantacize Jason and Brenda's wedding. Gia tells Ned that Alexis didn't say anything, but then tells Ned that Alexis is in love with him and wants to know what he's going to do about it. Courtney is still paying Jason compliments about how lucky Brenda is to have him. Flashback to Jason and Brenda arguing about what rings to wear. Brenda starts an argument about who is going to sleep on the heart-shaped bed, but Jason tells Brenda to shut up and go to bed. Jason sleeps on the sofa in the living room. Brenda continues to lie to the Quartermaines saying her wedding night was wonderful.
     Jax tells Sonny that no one will stand in his way of being with Brenda. Sonny questions "even your wife? Jax claims he loves Skye entirely and he has enough love in him to take care of Brenda too. Sonny tells Jax he loves Carly, and Brenda has nothing to do with anything (Carly overhears). Sonny tells Jax that Brenda married Jason to get away from Jax. Jax gets a call from Skye from the plane. She tells Jax she's landing at the airport and he won't believe what she's found out. Skye sees Jax standing on crutches and is thrilled. They discuss going on their honeymoon. Skye asks about Brenda, and finds out that she married Jason, her brother. Skye is shocked. Skye questions why on earth Jason would marry Brenda. Skye withholds the truth about Brenda's non-existent condition. Plane Enroute to PC, Skye wonders if Brenda has been faking her illness, or if Alcazar has been lying to her all these years.
     Alexis' hospital room, Alexis expounds on Ned's virtues to Gia. Alexis is chastising herself on not telling Ned that she loves him, instead of letting him feel she only wanted to marry him to win the DA's race. Gia promises not to tell Ned anything Alexis has said.     
     Nurses' Station, Carly tells Bobbie about Jason's marriage, and how Jason married Brenda to keep her away from Sonny.
