 Monica Stone
An important character in the
Novacom saga, Monica
Stone was a spy for Novacom Enterprises. She and
Robert Mitchell are the two direct
employees of Novacom to join for somewhat noble reasons. Although
one-dimensional throughout her early scenes, the truth why she worked
with Novacom added complexity to her role, as well as the overall theme
of the Novacom saga.
Family
Monica has a brother named Duncan Mathis. Because they
both have different last names, it can be inferred either that at one
point she was married, Duncan is her half or step brother, or "Stone" is
part of an alias for her work with Novacom. (Something interesting to
note is that when Mickey Marcus went to Israel, he went under the name
'Mickey Stone'.)
Career
At Novacom Monica worked primarily with illegal
activities. Disguised as a female phone company employee, Monica placed
hidden cameras in Whit's End. After this plan was foiled, she attempted
to intercept a package sent to John Avery
Whittaker, owner of Whit's End, holding him (and
Jack Allen) at gunpoint. (The package
was later found to be a decoy.)
Monica tapped Eugene Meltsner's
phone-line and learned that he would be sending a package to
Jason Whittaker, son of Mr. Whittaker,
who was in Alaska. She followed the package, posing as an intern for
Around the World Missions. Jason presumably fell in love with her, as
they worked together closely. When Jason realized she had taken the
package, he tried to stop her, and she gave back the disk - after she
had emailed the contents to Novacom. Jason was crushed to find out she
was a spy. Jason then mailed the package to Whit back in Odyssey.
In the episode
Exceptional
Circumstances, it is learned that Monica was
willing to work with Novacom, including participating in illegal
activity to help her paraplegic brother Duncan Mathis, whose condition
was due to a diving accident she had a part in. Monica believed that
Novacom would help to heal Duncan if she did their dirty work, so she
agreed to it. However, Mr. Charles, Monica's superior at Novacom, turns
against her when she began to question whether or not they would. She
then stands up against him when he tries to intimidate her with jail
threats, severing her employment with Novacom.
The last we hear Monica is in
Exit,
the final Novacom episode. She was going on trial for working with
Novacom, but she said she already knew how it would turn out. Jason said
he would visit her in prison. Monica asked if he would bring flowers,
and he replied, "Maybe on Valentine's Day."
