DVD #7A  Jagger shows Felicia a picture of Stone but says that it is several years old. He tells Felicia about a scar on Mike's hand.

8/2 Stone follows Karen home but she takes off again when she hears Rhonda and Ray inside. Jagger finds Karen at Kelly’s. She blows him off again. Before she leaves, she asks if he has been looking for his brother? Brenda comes downstairs and sees the distance between them. She notices a cut over Jagger’s eye and goes into nurture mode as Karen looks on. She treats the wound and then gives him a massage. Stone continues to follow Karen around. When Karen runs into Stone outside her apartment she tells him never to come there again. 

When Karen does return home, Ray calls her “Cari” and she angrily tells him to never call her that again, that her name is Karen! Jagger thinks of Karen and has flashbacks of her (Note: glitchy picture during the scene). Meanwhile, Karen is having flashbacks of her own of Ray coming into her room at night when she was a little girl.

8/3 (Note: Episode is glitchy in spots in the first few minutes) Stone shows up at Kelly’s and Karen shuffles him out telling him it was uncool to follow her. Stone and Karen make plans to meet later on the pier. Brenda sees Stone and wants to know who he is? She comments that he looks like someone she has seen before. Jagger gets a fairly recent photo of Mike from his foster mother in the mail. Brenda doesn’t appear to recognize Mike, but she reassures Jagger that this is a good sign this picture showing up out of nowhere. Karen asks Jagger about the picture and this time he blows her off and doesn’t show her the picture. Hurt, she takes off. Jagger shows Garcia the picture and asks him if he looks familiar? Garcia says no but to make some copies and he will pass it around.

Jason invites Brenda to go to the movies. She passes, continually staring at Jagger. Jason gets annoyed and tells her that he doesn’t like feeling invisible. She apologizes and tells Jason that she is just worried about Jagger. Jason gives her credit for not giving up. Brenda tells Jason that she is still hung up on Jagger. Jason wonders what is stopping her from making a move since Karen is out of the picture? She tells Jason that Jagger is still hung up on Karen. She plans on getting him back but she has to be very patient as she doesn’t want to jeopardize their friendship. 

Stone invites Karen to another rave on Friday night. Stone tells her about splitting on his foster parents and living with Sonny. He tells her that maybe she has a good reason for not trusting anyone, but points out that he could have taken advantage of her when she was drugged and he didn’t. Stone gives Karen a number at The Paradise Lounge where she can reach him anytime. Brenda and Jagger just miss seeing Stone on the pier.

8/4  Jagger gives Felicia the recent photo of Mike. Felicia wants the negative of the picture if possible. Brenda offers to help with blowing the photo up for more details. Jagger shows Mike's photo around at the arcade. Jagger notices the name “Stone” under the high scores on a machine that was his favorite game. Jagger decides to ask around about this “Stone” guy as his name has been on machines all over town, perhaps he might have seen Mike around. 

8/5  Brenda is excited to see her latest proofs. Jagger is equally happy as he tells Brenda that he is going to get the negative of Mike’s picture from his foster mom. Jagger gives the negative to Brenda to work her magic. Karen is ticked when Rhonda comes home hung over from being out drinking all night with Ray. Karen tries to convince Rhonda that she can do better than Ray. As Rhonda passes out on the couch, Karen has a flashback to her childhood with her mom passed out on the couch and Ray coming into her room at night. 

Karen comes into Kelly’s and asks Jagger to cover for her. He says he can’t. She is ticked that now he won’t even cover for her. Brenda says that they have been running all over looking for Mike and that is more important than whatever errand Karen has to do. Brenda and Jagger get cozy while developing the negative. He leans in close to her to see the photo better. Jagger and Brenda see Karen dressed up in her skimpy dress with full make up while walking on the docks. Jagger looks at her in shock and disgust.

8/6  Jagger comments to Karen that is some dress. Brenda snarks that obviously her mom didn’t make that one. Jagger figures she was lying about needing the night off from Kelly’s to go in to work at GH. Karen tells him that her shift at GH was cancelled and she is going out. She asks if that is now a crime and then reminds him that she doesn’t have to check in with him. 

Brenda and Jagger get the new photo to Felicia. Brenda tells Jagger about Ryan’s obsession with Felicia and how she overcame that and how brave she is. Jagger believes that Felicia is going to make progress on finding Stone. Brenda convinces Jagger that they should take a break and take the Q boat out for a midnight ride. Jagger and Brenda enjoy the moonlight on the Q boat and take a swim. Jagger gets back in the boat and Brenda swims to the buoy. Jagger has flashbacks to being shipwrecked during the storm and starts frantically calling Brenda’s name. She is cold and he gives her the extra towel and tells her he owes her at least that much as he is so grateful for what she did with Mike’s picture. 

Karen meets Stone outside The Paradise Lounge. She asks if this is a strip club? Stone says no, it is THE strip club. He invites her to come inside and see a show. He tells her that he is a hawker to bring people into the club and asks her if she wants to give it a shot, that he will cut her into the action. She doesn’t think she can do it, a guy comes up and tells her if she is selling, that he is buying. Stone gets him to come into the club. Karen is spooked and going to head home. Stone talks her into coming inside and promises to protect her.

8/9 AJ and Jason find Brenda and Jagger at the Q boathouse. Brenda insists that Lila said she could use it anytime. AJ says but he doubts she meant Brenda’s trash friends. AJ warns Jagger to stay off the Q property or next time he will call the police. After they leave, AJ worries about Brenda being with Jagger. Jason points out that Brenda has had a crush on Jagger since she met him. Monica tells AJ and Jason that she and Alan have a lot worth fighting for and she is not giving up. Karen sees one of the girls perform at the strip club. Stone takes Karen up to Sonny's apartment above the club. He tells her that Sonny is like a brother to him. He tells her how protective Sonny is with all the girls, and doesn’t allow anyone to disrespect the girls. He says that if a guy does that he then has to deal with Sonny and no one wants that. He makes a big deal about how protective Sonny is and that is a good thing to have someone like Sonny protecting you, that seems to really appeal to Karen. She is intrigued by the dancers at the club. He tells her a little about the running of the club and what he does. When she heads out, he asks if she will be back? She says maybe yes, maybe no. He says to himself he thinks she will.

Brenda runs into Rhonda at Kelly’s and tells her that she saw Karen all made up in a sexy dress, so she assumed she had a date. Upstairs, Brenda and Jagger give each other long lingering looks. She tells him to go to bed that he is in training.

8/11 Jagger has a fight out of town. He is alone warming up and thinking about Karen. Brenda and Felicia decide to go to the fight to fill Jagger in on what Felicia has learned about Mike. (Note: Abrupt cut to the next scene- about 1 minute lost) Felicia fills Jagger in on Crystal's association with Mike. Jagger comes back in after winning the fight. He is wearing nothing but a towel. Felicia raves about what a great boxer he is. Jagger mentions to Felicia that with Marco out of town, he is on his own in terms of promotion where his boxing is concerned. Felicia says he is really good and he should be working out every day and needs training. She is sure Marco will be there when the money is rolling in. Felicia and Brenda have some girl talk about Mac and Jagger. She asks Brenda how long she has been in love with Jagger? Brenda says right now Jagger just really needs a friend.

Karen comes to The Paradise Lounge again. She is curious who Sonny is? He tells her that Sonny is still out of town. He asks her what she thinks of the current dancer? Karen says it is better than the last one she saw. He is surprised to hear the new girl being so critical. Stone tells Karen that all the dancers are regular people with regular jobs, one is a married dental hygenist with a kid. Stone knows “Cari” likes to dance, he has seen her at the raves. Crystal warns Stone that someone is looking for him, that she said she was his sister. He describes Gina, red hair, 13. Crystal says no that this girl is older. She asks Stone for money, she needs a fix. He won’t give it to her, but then leaves to take care of her. He tells “Cari” that he is leaving her in Susan’s hands and she will take care of her. Susan thinks Karen would be a natural at dancing at the club.

Rhonda just wants to meet the new boyfriend that Brenda told her about. Karen is ticked and runs out. She has a long series of flashbacks from being molested as a child, to Jagger, to their breakup, meeting Stone, and the Paradise Lounge.

8/13  Jagger plans to hit the streets with Felicia to look for Crystal. Her mother finds her on the doct and Karen rails on her mother, for never being there for her in the past. Rhonda thinks it is because she couldn’t afford to buy her things. Karen says it isn’t about things, that her mother has made a dream world, that she never listened to Karen as she was always too busy with her boyfriends or too drunk to hear. Rhonda tells her she can’t change the past but she can try to make it up to her in the future. Karen doesn’t want to hear it and leaves again. 

Karen gets all dressed up and heads out. Karen overhears Felicia and Jagger talking about his future plans once he finds his brother. Felicia and Jagger talk to some homeless teens and try to get a line on where Crystal is. They track down her down but she has overdosed in a motel. 

When Sonny spots Cari he goes up to her and asks her what time she goes on? She tells him she isn’t a dancer. He thought she was performing for amateur night. Cari blushes and says she would be too self conscious to do that. Sonny explains to her that it's all about power and there is no reason to be self conscious because when you are on stage you are the one in control. Cari is intrigued. Stone comes up and formally introduces his friends Cari and Sonny. Stone has told Cari a lot about Sonny and she is excited to meet him. Cari is lured into the amateur stripping competition by not only the $300 prize but also the idea of control. Cari takes the stage to the sounds of "Prince" as Sonny stands by and eagerly watches. Cari comes off the stage ecstatic and she wins the competition. Later that night, Stone takes her home.

Mac and Felicia come into the Paradise Lounge to ask questions about a young girl named Crystal (used to be Stones girlfriend) who used to work at his club because she overdosed on drugs and Mike Cates (aka Stone) who is a runaway. Sonny tells them that Crystal got hooked on drugs and left the club 3-4 months ago and he hasn't seen her since. He also lies and tells them he has never heard of Mike Cates. After closing time Sonny informs Stone of Crystal's death (she was an IV drug user and the following year we learn this is who he contracted AIDs from). 

Julia tells Brenda that they are going to be revealing new Deceptions Ad campaign in Montréal. Brenda gets very excited about her future as a model.

She agrees to go and search for Mike with him right away.

8/17  Karen gets flowers from Sonny delivered to Kelly’s. Brenda reads the card, “You were great last night, Sonny”. Karen is furious that Brenda read her card, as it was addressed to “Cari”. Brenda covers that she thought the flower shop made a mistake since it had another name on the card.

Stone tells Karen that he blames himself for Crystal's death. She reassures him that he fed her and took care of her. Sonny sends a limo to Kelly’s to pick up Karen for their date.

Jagger is sad about his sister Gina not wanting to have a relationship with him. Brenda realizes this and makes an excuse to Jagger that she has to go do “girl stuff” and she heads over to see Gina. She asks her not to shut Jagger out of her life completely.  Thanks to Brenda, Gina goes to talk with Jagger. They agree that even though they don't live together they will still stay in touch. Jagger is thrilled and Gina tells him that he's got a great friend in Brenda because she wouldn't have come if it weren't for her. After Gina leaves, Brenda asks Jagger if he is mad at her? He says no, and comments on how nice she is. She asks him not to spread that around, would ruin her reputation.

Jagger asks Karen to cover for him while he goes to look for Mike but she refuses as she has another date with Sonny. He tells her not to worry about it, he has learned not to count on her.

Sonny calls “Cari” to confirm their date. Jagger overhears the conversation and gets very jealous. Later, when the limo driver arrives, Jagger accuses her of moving up in the world and going for a guy with money. 

Cari shows up at Sonny's dressed up to go out somewhere really fancy because he told her they were having dinner at the best place in town.
