Episode 1039: 'Alexis'/Angelique's reaction to Bruno: 'feigning' her protest?

[TNickey2003]

When Bruno tells 'Alexis'/Angelique he'll call the police with Cyrus' journal and its incriminating passages about Quentin, 'A'/A protests (as least outwardly).

But was 'A'/A actually 'feigning' her protest? Didn't she want to regain her husband Quentin? If that was the whole rhyme and reason for her coming back to life, wouldn't she want to PROTECT Quentin from going to jail? Later on she in fact helps him ESCAPE from jail.  What was she smiling about behind Bruno's back as he made the call to the police? Was she smiling because she wanted some form of revenge against Quentin (believing that he was responsible for her murder)? [spoiler]Or was she smiling because she was confident she would be able to stop Bruno. (in the next episode she strangles him with her voodoo powers).?[/spoiler]

I'm still not clear what her motives were in this scene from Episode 1039.

What is clear throughout the PT1970 storyline is her rivalry with Quentin's present wife Maggie Evans Collins.

Well darn, I wish you'd used spoiler tags on this one.  You just blew part of 1970 PT for me.

I think [spoiler]Angelique is unsure whether or nor Quentin killed her (ha, I can't believe I just wrote that sentence--only on DS).  At his point, however, she wants to frame him and eventually save him by implicating Maggie.  Even Quentin comes to believe that Maggie is just like his former wife, Angelique, and that "Alexis" is a sweet, caring woman, totally different from her sister.  So I think Angelique smirks because she knows she's going to take care of Bruno very soon as part of her plans.  Angelique, of course, can't really control all these variables even though she thinks she can.[/spoiler]
