Carla in Abt Ur Luv Episode 4-6

Episode Title: Karma

This blog entry contains episode highlights involving Carla' character, Brenda.

Episode Highlights

At the Smith home, Josh is working on household chores and is ignored by Hillary when he asks to join her study group (where he hopes to see Nelle).



Brenda quickly reminds him that he was the one who had volunteered to help Yaya Ciana with the household chores, as his way for making up for his fake amnesia. Josh reluctantly agrees to stay at home.

Later, as the school day ends, Brenda suggests to Stick and Honey that they join Hillary and her friends since they're going out that night and it sounds like fun. Stick hesitates at first, saying he needs to check papers.



Honey urges him to go out and have fun and says Brenda will be happy to help him check the papers later. Surprised, Brenda asks why she would be helping, and Honey responds by pointedly asking her who Stick's girlfriend is.



Cornered, Brenda says she is Stick's girlfriend, thereby proving Honey's point. Honey is excitedly dragging Stick away when Stick notices Ray, who is still waiting for his brother PJ to come by and pick him up after school so they can go buy a PSP.



Ray assures them that PJ will come as promised.



So Honey pulls Stick away, leaving Brenda trailing behind them muttering about being "the girlfriend," as Ray watches them leave.

Later that night at the club, Brenda arrives with Stick and Honey; their friends are already there. Brenda asks Hillary if she has seen Josh. Still exasperated by Josh's latest antics, Hillary tells Brenda that if she only knew what else Josh has been up to today.



As the night wears on, Brenda watches Honey talking animatedly with Stick, and wonders to herself how much longer she'll have to pay for not immediately telling Honey the truth about her relationship with Stick.



She also wonders how much longer Josh will have to pay for his mistake. She knows in the end, they will all forgive him and accept him as he is, because he's not a bad person, and Josh is her brother. He just has to learn a few lessons.



Unknown to them all, Josh is already aboard a bus, leaving them behind with nothing more than a note, which is delivered to the Smith home by Rickson and Webb.

Carla in Abt Ur Luv Episode 4-5

Episode Title: Consequences

This blog entry contains episode highlights involving Carla' character, Brenda.

Episode Highlights

Josh awakens at the hospital to find his sisters, Nelle, and his friends at his bedside.



As they all gather around his bed, Brenda tells them that although the doctor says Josh's injuries are minor, he can't say when Josh will get his memory back. She says the best they can do is pray.



Outside Josh's room, Stick offers to be the one to relay the bad news to Brenda's parents, but she says she'll do it. He tells her to relax, and assures her it's not her fault that Josh got hurt. Just then a doctor approaches them and says he's ready to talk to her about Josh's condition.



Later, Brenda calls all the friends together to relay the bad news: the doctors think Josh needs open-brain surgery to help them figure out the cause of his amnesia.




Mao expresses concern, saying that based on what he's read before, there's only a 50-50 chance of survival. They grow even more worried when Brenda tells them the procedure will take place tomorrow.



Stick asks them all not to tell Josh about the risk because he may be affected. They also decide not to tell Nelle, who is still in Josh's room keeping him company.

---

Hillary later asks Brenda why their parents haven't been informed yet. Brenda assures her sister that she knows what she's doing.



Hillary threatens to call their parents herself, and demands to know why Brenda won't do so. Brenda hesitates.



Back in Josh's hospital room, Josh reveals to Webb and Rickson that he's just faking his amnesia. They urge him to tell the truth because he's unknown to him, he's already scheduled for open-brain surgery!

Just then, Brenda and Hillary enter the room with a wheelchair, and Brenda asks Josh if he's ready to go. Josh panics, thinking they're taking him to his operation. Brenda tells him to calm down, that she's taking him to see a doctor.




Later, Brenda watches as Josh is wheeled into his appointment, then turns away, looking exasperated.



In the hospital room, Nelle learns from Webb and Rickson that Josh is scheduled for open brain surgery the next day, just as Brenda wheels Josh back into his hospital room.



Nelle is unable to stop herself from asking Josh about his surgery. Josh feigns surprise and asks Brenda why she didn't consult him before scheduling the procedure, especially since he could die if something goes wrong.



Before Brenda can answer, the rest of Josh's friends run into the room with a large banner that reads "We love you Josh". Yaya Ciana tells him that although he may not remember them, they all love him very much. It's all too much for Josh, and he gets up from the bed and leaves the room, while everyone else can only watch in surprise. Brenda and Hillary follow him.



Josh tells them he doesn't deserve the show of love from their friends. He says he doesn't want to go through with the surgery.



Hillary tells him he has to have the operation because it's the only way he'll get his memory back.



Cornered, Josh finally confesses that he was faking his amnesia all this time and apologizes. To his surprise, Brenda reveals that they know.

Hillary also tells him there's no surgery scheduled. Brenda had talked all the doctors into going along with the ruse so they could teach Josh a lesson. Josh is filled with remorse. Brenda tells him that he now has to tell everyone else the truth. The two sisters leave Josh alone with his guilt and his thoughts.



---

Later, Josh returns to the hospital room to find his friends still waiting for him.



Tearfully, he thanks them for caring for him, then confesses that it was all a lie, that he faked his amnesia because he wanted to know if Nelle had feelings for him.



Upset by the truth, Nelle leaves the room crying. Josh runs after her.



As everyone quietly absorbs the news, Brenda speaks up, and apologizes to everyone else for the way she deceived them about Josh's surgery. Tearfully, she explained that she just wanted to teach Josh a lesson. She is sorry that they too had to be lied too by her.



Yaya Ciana gets up and quickly hugs Brenda.
