All My Children, 2001, Brooke and Laura walked into BJ's. Laura stopped just inside the door and took a deep breath, appreciating the delicious odors of "burgers and fries, perfect!". Brooke reminded Laura that this was a "controlled breakout", it was just for a little while.They found a table and Laura apologized for sneaking out to go to Leo and Greenlee's engagement party. Brooke broke down and admitted that she did admire Laura's convictions, which made Laura suspicious. She wondered what was up, why her mother was being so forgiving, "Am I getting a shot or something?". Laura looked towards the door as Bianca and Leo walked in. Bianca tried to convince Leo he needed to eat but he said he couldn't think of food until he found Greenlee. Bianca was sure Greenlee would be all right, but Leo felt that she may never be all right again because of him. "Greenlee's a natural born survivor" Bianca told Leo and he nodded his agreement. He turned and saw Laura sitting with Brooke. Bianca suggested they go say hello and they walked over to the table. Brooke was highly suspicious of this chance meeting and felt that perhaps Laura had known Bianca would be bringing Leo to BJ's. Laura denied this but was very happy to invite her two friends to join her at the table. She asked Leo how he was doing and he just shrugged. Leo changed the subject and asked when Laura would be out of the hospital for good. Laura turned to Brooke and asked what the hold up was, saying "I'm not really that sick, am I?". Brooke looked at the three young people nervously and tried to avoid answering Laura. Laura told her she could say anything in front of her friends and reminded her mother that "I just have a virus, right?". Brooke finally told Laura that the doctors want to perform a "diagnostic procedure" on her to determine the status of the virus. She tried to reassure Laura that it was a simple procedure, that she "wouldn't feel a thing". But Laura sensed Brooke's unease and asked if she really had to have it done. Brooke explained that "Dr. Joe is a stickler" and doesn't want to miss anything. When Laura asked her mother how soon they had to do the operation she was told "in a couple of hours". She was shocked, as were Leo and Bianca. Laura asked her mother if it had to be so soon but Brooke said "why not, just get it over with" and explained that this meant Laura could not have any burgers or fries tonight. Laura put on a brave face and joked "When it's over do I get a video game or something?". Brooke replied that she could have anything she wanted, with a great deal of emotion. Leo's food arrived and he began chowing down. The two girls critiqued his eating style, much to Brooke's amusement. She said she hadn't realized that Leo's dining habits were akin to an Olympic event. Laura told Leo she was glad Bianca had dragged him out and Leo said he was too. Bianca left the table to check in with her mother and Laura followed, telling Brooke to make sure Leo cleaned his plate. After the girls were out of earshot Leo asked Brooke if she was worried about Laura's surgery. Brooke told him it was just a precautionary measure and Leo said it was too bad David was behind bars. Brooke told him she had pulled some strings and gotten David released to take care of Laura. Leo was impressed and Brooke leaned closer saying she wanted to make herself perfectly clear. "Now that Greenlee has dumped you, don't get any ideas about Laura" she told him. She warned Leo not to make Laura his next mark. Leo assured Brooke that he cared about Laura as a friend and that he was not there to prey on her. He went on to say that he wasn't the monster Roger Smythe made him out to be and that he wasn't done with Greenlee, he still loved her. Brooke hoped she could take Leo at his word. Brooke told her they needed to get back to the hospital so she could be prepped for the procedure. Laura said ok "as long as they don't shave my head!" Brooke warned her daughter not to get too occupied with Leo. Laura said that with Leo and Greenlee split apart maybe it wasn't too late for her and Leo. Brooke looked worried.Julia Barr, Brooke English, Josh Duhamel, Leo du Pres, Laura Allen, Laura Kirk English, Eden Riegel, Bianca Montgomery
