02/20/96 Brooke Wants To Be Laura's Guardian







"Hayley told an AA meeting of the pain she feels over Laurel's death. Elsie, an AA member, refused to attend the meeting because Jason was there. Elsie, a gay rights activist, refused to be in the same room with the "hateful" Cutting Edge rouser. Hayley's telling of how she pulled a gun on Adam made Jason recall how he was in the "gun drawer" just before Laurel's shooting. "Little Grey," Edmund and Maria's still unnamed baby, wasn't as strong as he should be. In fact he was refusing all of the nourishment being given to him. As a last resort, the baby would either have to be put on an or breastfed by his mother. This left Maria and Edmund with the painful task of asking Kelsey to breastfeed the infant, something that could form a bond between mother and son. Meanwhile, Tad had visited Kelsey, but Kelsey thought that Tad was the latest Martin assault, asking her to keep the baby. Tad explained that he knows more than anyone the aspects of adoption and that no matter what choice Kelsey makes, it will be a good choice. Edmund and Maria showed up a short time later and asked Kelsey if she'd be willing to breastfeed. Kelsey immediately said no because she had some rather unpleasant images of what it would be like. After Edmund said that he'd be in debt to Kelsey if she'd help out (and save the baby's life), she agreed. At the Valley Inn on a dinner date with Brooke, Adam Junior, and Jamie, Adam soon found himself dateless. Mateo called Pierce at Janet's request to have him come down to the police station and help out Laura. Brooke overheard the phone call and decided that she could offer some help since she has experience with parentless children. Mateo accompanied Laura down to the police station. Janet asked Matt to call Pierce because he was fatherlike to Laura. Laura was processed on shoplifting charges and told that she's be placed in a foster home. Brooke stepped in and said that she'd be more than willing to serve as a home for Laura. Pierce wouldn't qualify as a suitable host for Laura because he's single and lives in the woods. Adam was left to trade barbs with Palmer and Phoebe (who showed up to have dinner with Pierce) about his feelings for Brooke and his insecurities with Pierce. Janet asked to speak to Brooke alone and then asked if she believed that she was innocent. Brooke said that Janet is innocent until proven guilty and even offered to give Janet reports on Amanda's condition. After Janet was left alone for the night, she had a revelation. Brooke was an all too familiar face. She had Pierce, Laura, and everything good---she was Natalie reincarnated. Janet vowed that she'll get out of prison and put an end to "taht self-righteous sow.""
