Sarah Disapproves of Xander's Plan / Thursday (Read 120 times)

[heroicmuse]

Xander has a flashback of getting the gun. Sarah comes up in her wheelchair and she is mad. She says, "What are you really doing?" Xander insists it is Titan business. Sarah says, "In a deserted park? Look me in the eye and tell me this has nothing to do with this crazy revenge fantasy." Sarah says, "What were you going to do???" Xander shows her the gun and says, "In a few hours Brady is gonna be a dead man."

Sarah says, "This Highland justice won’t solve anything." Xander says the justice system won’t do anything and his mum interfered the last time because of her misplaced fondness for him. Sarah says Brady was her friend. Xander says, "Look at everything he took from us!" Sarah says, "I might never walk again, but I am still here. I have my life." Xander says it breaks his heart to see her muster up her energy to be positive, so he will be angry for the both of them. Sarah says it breaks her heart that her husband, the father of her child, is out here playing vigilante and could go to prison for life. She can’t lose him like that. He says, "You will never lose me, I promise." He says, "I’m not gonna shoot Brady. Brady’s gonna shoot himself."

Xander says Brady feels guilty. Even he regrets having escaped legal punishment. Sarah says, "What does that mean? Be direct with me!" Xander says she doesn’t need to know. Sarah says she remembers how he used to be. He is not that man anymore. "You told me Victoria and I changed you. Was that a lie?" Xander says, "Of course not." She says, "Then I’m begging you not to do this."

Sarah has a muscle spasm. Xander says, "Look what Brady did!" Sarah says, "Killing Brady won’t fix anything!" Xander says, "I am a Kiriakis. I am Victor’s son." Sarah says, "You are not Victor. And Brady is a father and a son too. Why won’t you listen to me?" Xander says everyone is sorry for Brady. Sarah says, "I do not feel sorry for Brady. What he did was horrible but he does not deserve to die. He didn’t know what he was doing." Xander says, "When Brady got drunk and got behind the wheel, that was a choice, terrible unforgivable choices that could have led to your death." Sarah says, "But it didn’t!" Xander says, "Eric drove drunk and killed Daniel, so Brady knew what could happen and has to pay for what he did. Admit it. You want justice too."

Sarah says she is trying to move past this. Xander says, "But you’ll always run into him. I know you have rage too. You must want to see him punished, right?" Sarah says, "By the criminal justice system." Xander says, "In the old days, before there were all these drawn-out processes, this is how we solved these problems." Sarah says, "This is not the Wild West. Give me time. Maybe I’ll remember. Maybe it wasn’t Brady." Xander says, "It was Brady." He gets a text from the goon. He says, "Go home and give it another thought." Sarah says, "How am I supposed to do that?" Xander says, "Focus on how much I love you to the depths of my soul."

At home, Sarah looks at a photo of her and Xander and says, "What am I gonna do?"

Such good scenes. What I loved is that there was never a moment where she was threatening to bail on their marriage, which is insane considering the topic at hand, but I always thought Sarah had to go a little dark in order for Xarah to survive. I think she called Jada and told her that she recalled Brady at the wheel. This protects Brady from Xander and Xander from himself.

I liked very much Xander comparing himself to Victor, who would have killed Brady too, grandson or not, if he had done this to Maggie. I also liked him pointing out that Brady could have hurt other people that night, and his own choices put Sarah in the state she is in (as far as Xander knows, we know it is not true obviously).

Does not compute. Sarah is trying to be reasonable with someone who left reason at the door.

Shameful stuff from Xander. Bad under any circumstances but he has a new baby at home to boot yet here he is playing mobster.

Liked Sarah's response to Xander's "don't give it another thought." With "how am I supposed to do that."

[Kpatch]

Great scenes, I agree. Poor Sarah just can't get through to Xander no matter what she says.

[carolineleg]

Xander is operating on misinformation, rage and stupidity. Terrible combo. I love this stuff though. Bring it!

We always knew if anyone did anything to Sarah, Victoria or Maggie... Xander would return to his dark side. I don't mind Xander visiting his dark side, if it's justified such as Constitine, JUST as long as he doesn't stay there. This can be an amazing journey, life lessons and inner battles for Xander and Sarah... if written correctly.
