Monday, December 9, 2002 Today's show continues where Friday's left off. Henry is at Carly's house holding up the pregnancy test he found in her garbage, and attempting to blackmail her with it. "I'm no expert, but according to this, you're pregnant." Carly asks Henry what he's going to do with it, and he answers, "Hmm... let's see. There's your sister Rosanna, but she's so unpleasant, have you noticed that? Not a happy woman. But then there's Jack! He's due for some good news, don't you think?" Henry opens the door and starts to leave when Carly stops him and calls him back inside. She tells him he's right, she is pregnant, but she hasn't had the chance to tell Jack yet. And he wouldn't appreciate Henry spoiling the surprise, in fact he might even be forced to act on that outstanding warrant for Henry's arrest. Henry isn't buying Carly's act and isn't threatened. He asks her what Jack will do when he finds out the baby is not his. Henry jokes that Carly should ask Dr. Bob for a discount on paternity tests with "mystery baby number two" on the way. Carly insists that this baby is Jack's. "Unless it's Mike Kasnoff's," corrects Henry. "I don't suppose anyone was thinking about protection that night at Monte Carlo, not after all that champagne." Carly again tells Henry that she was alone that night but he's tired of that story. "Carly, Carly! You're pregnant, you don't know who the father is, and you're scared to death that your husband will find out that A, you cheated on him the night before your wedding, and that B, you're carrying around a baby that isn't even his!" Henry pauses for dramatic effect and continues, "I'm a simple man. You want me to keep this all a secret, you'll pay me. If not I go to Rosanna, and guess what, she'll pay me. And no going to Katie or I go straight to Jack. 50,000 dollars and I'm outa here." Carly protests that even if she wanted to pay him, which she doesn't because the baby is Jack's, she wouldn't know where to get the money. Henry suggests Mike, he must be doing well with the burn unit project. Carly says no to that, "If I agree to pay you, this is between us. You don't tell Mike, you don't tell Jack, you don't tell Rosanna. Got me?" Henry correctly guesses that Mike doesn't know about the pregnancy, but Carly just asks if they have a deal. "24 hours, 50,000 dollars, small unmarked bills. Or I go to Rosanna," says Henry as he leaves. Carly tries to think of where she can get the money if she can't go to Molly or Mike (apparently she doesn't get paid as well as we thought for her design business). She decides to take the money out of a safe at the Monte Carlo offices. She steals the money and brings it back home, putting it in a cute little gift bag. The doorbell rings and she opens the door to Henry. "Imagine my surprise when I got your message, aren't we eager!" he says as Carly pulls him inside. Carly points to the bag and tells him it's all there, "and not a penny more, Henry." Henry picks up the bag and smells it, saying, "That's 50,000 dollars! For a slightly used pregnancy test." He hands the test to her and says, "It's been a pleasure doing business with you, Carly." He heads for the door and Carly reminds him that if anyone finds out about this, she'll know who's responsible. "That's why I plan to spend it far from here. Ta ta, Oakdale," says Henry.

Now,
she would pay good money for any kind of proof that you were pregnant. But she's
so unpleasant. Have you noticed that? Just not a happy woman. But then there's
Jack. Yeah, he's due for some good news, don't you think?
I saw the bill for that
paternity test, Jackie Jr. And with mystery baby number two on the way, your
premium's are gonna go through the roof.
And
no going to Katie, or I go straight to Jack. $50,000, and I'm outta here.
