KING'S BAY MEMORIAL HOSPITAL

"Come on," Danielle says as she practically drags Sarah from the room. Once she has enough of Sarah out in the hallway, she pulls the door to Brent's room shut, thankful that she was able to get Sarah out here without too much of a scene. Of course, that doesn't mean that there won't be a scene now.

"Let me back in there," Sarah insists, trying to push her way past Danielle.

"No." Danielle stands her ground and blocks the door, and eventually Sarah relents. "You've got to calm down, Sarah. You looked like you were about to explode when Brent said that he didn't want to talk to you."

"I'm his wife! He should talk to me!"

"You may be his wife," Danielle says, "but as I understand it, that may not be the case much longer. Brent told me weeks ago that he's going through with the divorce."

"That's why I need to talk to him! I need to try to straighten things out!" Sarah seems poised for another try at the door but instead moves to the window. She gazes through the blinds at Brent and Molly, who are talking quietly.

"This is all her fault," she mutters. "This is exactly what she wanted to happen."

Danielle sidles up beside Sarah at the window. "She? Molly?"

"Yeah. She's been out to steal Brent from me for--forever."

Danielle hesitates in responding as the image of Brent and Molly kissing at her wedding to Andy flashes in her mind. She was shocked to see it then and was even more shocked by Brent's insistence that something genuine existed between him and Molly. Now Sarah must know about that ...

"Are you sure Molly's the only one to blame here?" she says, intending it more as a statement than a question.

Sarah drops her shoulders in defeat. "I'm not totally innocent, I will admit that. I'm sure Brent told you all about what happened with the baby ... Yes, I was at fault there. I'm not saying I wasn't. But there was a good reason why I did the things I did."

Danielle completes the thought. "Because of the relationship between Brent and Molly."

"Right," Sarah says, thinking that Danielle seems a little too unphased by the whole situation. Has Brent been telling her about it?

Sarah continues staring into the room, at the tranquil scene of Molly and Brent together. She and Brent were once like that -- and they still would be, if not for Molly.

Danielle places a comforting hand on Sarah's shoulder. "I know this must be hard for you," she says softly. "I can only imagine. But maybe ... maybe this is the end of the road."

"What?" Sarah jerks her head around to face Danielle, as if the very idea of what Danielle is suggesting is horribly offensive.

"A lot has happened," Danielle says. "Maybe it would be best for everyone to move forward from here ... Maybe you should make a clean break and let Brent go."
