01/27/2003 Morgan Holds Aidan Hostage



"In their hide-out, Aidan continues to butter Morgan up and keeps enticing her to play chess with him. Aidan tries to warn Morgan that Julian is a very dangerous man.

Meanwhile, at Wildwind, Edmund is thrilled when Maria confides to him that much of her old medical training appears to be coming back to her. When Maria talks about resuming her studies at Pine Valley University, Edmund reminds her that there ARE better schools, but Maria expresses her confidence in Pine Valley University. Later, when Brooke stops by with some edits for Tempo, Brooke is also thrilled to see Maria studying and almost lets the cat out of the bag when she blurts out: "It worked!' Edmund quickly glosses over Brooke's exclamation and takes Brooke aside. Once Brooke and Edmund are alone, Edmund explains that he slipped a few drops of David's experimental drug into Maria's drink because Maria was unwilling to have anything to do with Hayward or the good doctor's plan to help Maria regain her memory. Brooke warns Edmund that the drug COULD be VERY harmful to Maria and urges her friend to think twice before continuing on his present course. After Brooke leaves, Edmund pitches the remainder of the vial into the trash. But, later, Edmund catches Maria calling Kendall to see if Kendall has heard from Aidan. Edmund asks Maria point blank if she is in love with Aidan. When Maria admits that she is NOT sure HOW she feels about Aidan, Edmund fishes the vial out of the trash and adds a few more drops to another drink, which Maria drinks.
