[ laughs ] now , come here . uhh ! thomas : you seem surprised . you should n't be . shauna : [ scoffs ] whatever . thomas : i 've never been a cheerleader for my dad 's marriage to brooke . and now that she 's declared war on me , miss high and mighty and the rest of the logan clan , they 're fair game as far as i 'm concerned . do n't act like you do n't know what i 'm talking about . not after the way that -- that brooke and her sisters have dumped all over you and flo . shauna : they have their reasons . thomas : i do n't care about their reasons . i just want them to back off , especially hope and brooke . okay , those two are trying to keep me from my little boy . shauna : hmm . well , given the way you 've been treating douglas , i do n't blame them . thomas : wow , okay , apparently you 're just gon na believe a bunch of lies about me ? not gon na ask me a question , get the other side ? okay . well , you know what ? normally i 'd hold that against you . you know , i think we want the same thing . i sense you 're developing feelings for my dad . you would want him to be a free man , brooke to be out of the picture . am i getting close ? ridge : no , do n't walk away . listen to me . brooke : i -- i -- i have listened , ridge . and i - i 've got ta say this , i really do , as much as it pains me . thomas repulses me . ridge : wow . that 's my son you 're talking about , right ? brooke : i know . ridge : okay . brooke : i know . ridge : [ sighs ] what -- what matters is that -- brooke : no , i 'll tell you what matters . my daughter matters . the fact that her baby was stolen from her matters . her life and her marriage was just ripped apart . i - i do n't know why you ca n't get that through your brain . what is it that you do n't understand ? ridge : oh , i understand . brooke : no , you do n't understand ! why have you gone so soft on flo and thomas and shauna ? why do you insist on letting them live their lives with n consequences ? ridge : there have been plenty of consequences for everybody . brooke : exactly . that is what i 'm saying . this is what you do , you defend them , and that is unacceptable . [ sighs ] just like the night that you spent with -- with shauna . that 's unacceptable , to . okay , maybe it was innocent , but you still did it . you spent the whole night with another woman , and you never said a word to me . so therein lies the problem . you and i both know that secrets destroy a marriage . and then there 's thomas . there 's everything that we know about what thomas did , and then there are things that thomas did that we do n't know . maybe , like emma , for instance . i still do n't know if he had something to do with her death . and i know for sure that he 's not a suitable parent . thomas can not be around douglas . in fact , he 's not good at all for douglas 's emotional well- being and that 's what makes this so urgent . ridge : it is urgent . that 's why i have to help my son and help my daughter . brooke : okay , that 's fine , yes , help your daughter . but you ca n't help your son , ridge . i do n't know if years of therapy is going to help him . well , then , if that 's what you want to do , then go right ahead . i just ca n't be a part of it . and neither can douglas . he needs a safe , secure home with people that love him , and he has that with hope and liam and beth . he should live with hope . and if you love your grandson the way you say you do , you would agree ! hi , i 'm dave . i supply 100 % farm - fresh milk for lactaid . liam : hey . hope : hey . how 's douglas ? liam : uh , he 's good . he 's -- he 's outside , refilling the bird feeder we built last week . hope : the two of you were so cute . liam : [ laughs ] hope : i took so many pictures . liam : yeah ? hope : which actually , i should text a few of those to my mother . i think she would love them . ooh , and some of the ones i took earlier of douglas and beth . liam : yeah . yeah , she would love those , 'cause family 's kind of a big deal to brooke . hope : well , yeah . it 's why she feels so strongly about douglas being here with us . and i agree with her . shauna : i do n't know what you 're getting at . and i do n't want to know , so just go . thomas : whoa . slow down . i have some questions about that night , too . shauna : okay . thomas : okay , so , you were sleeping right next to my dad all night . shauna : yeah , i was , and it 's not what you think . i never crossed the line with your father . thomas : crossed your mind , though , did n't it ? how could it not ? i mean , he 's the one who sprung your daughter from jail . and now that brooke knows that you spent the night -- shauna : wait , wait , wait . brooke knows ? thomas : and i 'm guessing she 's not too happy about that . shauna : guess not . thomas : yeah , i can only see her and him going a few rounds about this till they finally break up . ridge : you know how much i love douglas , but you want thomas to just hand him over to hope and liam ? brooke : douglas is practically living with them already . they 're a sweet little family . she does everything that a mom would do for that precious little boy . [ cellphone chimes ] see ? that 's everything right there . this is what i 'm talking about . he is so happy . ridge : what are you suggesting ? brooke : [ sighs ] all right . i need you ... as douglas 's grandfather , to talk to thomas and get him to realize that he legally needs to hand over douglas to hope and liam as the guardians . i mean , i know it 's not gon na be easy , but at least we got ta try . it 's the only way we can save douglas from thomas swooping in and just grabbing him back whenever he wants . come on , ridge . we just need to try . this is good for douglas 's well - being and he needs a stable upbringing . you know -- ridge : he will have a stable upbringing , with his father , not some other family . brooke : ah , do n't , please ! i mean , that so much is happening already , and now on top of it , there 's katie . katie is in the hospital , and she is fighting for her life ! she 's on dialysis , ridge . and i may be the only one who can help her . i may be the only match . the donor . this has been -- this has been a horrible year . so , i 'm sorry . i am so sorry if i -- i do n't have empathy for what you 're saying about thomas and shauna . but you know , you know this is what douglas needs . he ca n't go back to thomas . he 's gon na be tortured the rest of his life . i am not going to allow that to happen . hope : douglas has been through so much , and we need to keep him safe . and we will ... by keeping him as far away from thomas as possible . shauna : you know what , thomas ? i 'm not here to cause any problems for your father . thomas : no ! sorry . i 'm -- i ca n't buy that . shauna : hmm . thomas : no , i think you want the same thing as me . you want my dad free of brooke once and for all . it could be happening at this very moment . ridge : you have to look at this from my perspective . you want me to go to thomas and tell him to hand his son over to some other family ? brooke : no , to my daughter , who loves him like he 's her own . he ca n't be anywhere near thomas , and as much as i hate to say this ... i ca n't be around you if you 're gon na continue to act this way . helping flo get released from jail , spending the night with shauna ? you 've lost all focus . ridge : no . no , i haven't . my focus is exactly where it needs to be . it 's on my wife and my marriage , but my family needs help . but i ca n't help them here , so ... i guess i need to find another place ? thomas and steffy , so i can -- i can fix them ? brooke : well , you ca n't really fix thomas . he needs professional help , aside from talking to his mother overseas . ridge : what thomas needs is his family . he needs his sister 's forgiveness , and he needs his father . brooke : ridge , it 's so much more than that . he 's had years of parental love . it goes beyond that . he has deep - seated issues . he needs some serious help ! you know that . he needs help from psychiatrists and therapists , i do n't know ! i just -- i do n't know what else there is that you can do -- ridge : well , i do n't know either ! but i 'm -- i 'm gon na try to figure it out . i ca n't just throw him away . he 's my son . brooke : okay . so ... you do that . you go and you ... be with thomas . but when you come back , i want you to bring papers . ridge : papers ? brooke : you 've got to ... to talk to thomas and you 've got to get him to sign the custody papers over to hope and liam as the legal guardians . now i know it 's not gon na be easy , ridge , but you 've got ta do it . i know this is hard for you . i know that . but we have to do this ... for the children . so you go . you take care of thomas and steffy and ... i 'll take care of hope and douglas . we 'll have some time apart for a while ... and whatever needs to be resolved ... will resolve itself . and douglas ... this is what he needs . that sweet little boy needs to be with a loving family , ridge . you know that . and that 's what he has , with hope and liam and beth . that is what douglas needs . and we do , too ... ... if our marriage is going to get through intact . ridge : i 'll call you when i get settled . brooke : i love you . i do . ridge : i love you , too . bye . [ door opens ] brooke : [ exhales deeply ] [ sniffles ] | shauna is still pulling up pictures of ridge on the internet when thomas comes by . he thinks she is not being hospitable . he says she is just acting like the mamma bear in her den but flo is not on his radar these days . on the other hand , she is . he knows all about her and his dad . when shauna looks alarmed he tells her not to worry . he is not here to ream her out about that but more to encourage her . he tells her he has never been a cheerleader for brooke and his dad . and the logan 's have dumped on flo and shauna . he thinks they want the same thing . she would want ridge to be a free man and brooke out of the picture . he thinks he is getting close . in fact that could be happening right now since brooke knows . liam and hope with beth spend the morning with douglas . brooke tells ridge that knowing what shauna and flo did to hope it was unacceptable for him to just sit and have breakfast with shauna after spending the whole night with her . and for the record , thomas repulses her and ridge has to get that through his thick head . he is defending thomas , even flo and shauna and that is unacceptable . secrets destroy marriages and that is the problem . and there are probably things that thomas did that they do not even know about . | <s>[INST] [ knock on door ] shauna : [ sighs ] nope , you are not welcome here , thomas . thomas : whoa ! whoa - oh - oh . holding that against me , are n't you ? shauna : you threatened my daughter and you made her life a living hell . thomas : you are being a little overdramatic , and can i say , inhospitable ? shauna : oh , really ? thomas : yeah . shauna : um , okay , well , you know what ? you need to go . thomas : is flo here ? shauna : uh , no , she isn't . thomas : okay , 'cause you got this whole mama lioness thing ... shauna : hmm . thomas : ... going on . just want you to know that flo , she 's not in trouble . i mean , she 's -- she 's not even on my radar these days . you , on the other hand , it 's a different story . shauna : me ? thomas : yeah . i know all about you and my dad . ridge : i 'm sorry . i hate this . brooke : [ sighs ] yeah . well , i hate this , too . what thomas has done to our lives ... and you walking out that night .

[ door opens ] brooke : [ exhales deeply ] [ sniffles ]Summarize.[/INST]shauna is still pulling up pictures of ridge on the internet when thomas comes by . he thinks she is not being hospitable . he says she is just acting like the mamma bear in her den but flo is not on his radar these days . on the other hand , she is . he knows all about her and his dad . when shauna looks alarmed he tells her not to worry . he is not here to ream her out about that but more to encourage her . he tells her he has never been a cheerleader for brooke and his dad . and the logan 's have dumped on flo and shauna . he thinks they want the same thing . she would want ridge to be a free man and brooke out of the picture . he thinks he is getting close . in fact that could be happening right now since brooke knows . liam and hope with beth spend the morning with douglas . brooke tells ridge that knowing what shauna and flo did to hope it was unacceptable for him to just sit and have breakfast with shauna after spending the whole night with her . and for the record , thomas repulses her and ridge has to get that through his thick head . he is defending thomas , even flo and shauna and that is unacceptable . secrets destroy marriages and that is the problem . and there are probably things that thomas did that they do not even know about .</s> | 5,549 |

[ sighs ] jordan : you heard rafe and kate talk about this alleged affair ? abigail : you are so full of it . sami : look , i know what you 're going through . i know it 's hard . but , rafe was saying that he did n't want to keep it a secret , kate was saying that she thought you 'd be crushed , and so she was willing to make sure that you never found out , etc . , etc . well ... you know the drill . abigail : [ scoffs ] jordan : i have to go . abigail : jordan , wait , are you okay ? jordan : yeah , i just , um ... i got ta get out of here . abigail : what is wrong with you ? sami : hmm ? abigail : why would you spread a vicious thing like that ? i know that you 're hurt , sami , but it 's turned you into a monster . kate : could you just listen to me , please ? ej played a stupid game . he got caught , and he got what he deserved . rafe : so you think it could n't happen here ? hm ? kate : well , no one has pictures of us , do they ? i mean , we 're the only two who know what happened . we know it 's not gon na happen again . and we both know that if you tell jordan , she 's going to be crushed . why would you want to do that ? rafe : [ sighs ] [ phone ringing ] kate : sorry . rafe : if you need to deal with that ... kate : no ... no . that 's nothing . look , i -- i should probably get going , right ? i mean , she 's gon na meet you here ? rafe : yeah , she is . and if she walks in here , and we 're talking ... kate : that would not be good , no . rafe : no . kate : anyway , i 'm just gon na run upstairs . i 'm gon na say hi to allie -- she 's with kayla -- then i 'll be gone . rafe : okay . thanks . kate : would you please think about it ? just think about it hard , before you do anything . rafe : okay , yeah . abigail : jordan never did anything to you . sami : hmm , and if she 'd minded her own business , maybe i would n't have said anything . abigail : but she defended me , so she deserved that ? sami : well you do bring joy to those around you , do n't you ? abigail : you could have just destroyed their relationship , sami . sami : [ laughs ] actually , it 's the people who cheat who destroy the relationship . it 's their responsibility , right ? did you miss morality 101 in school ? you could have time now to go back and take it . abigail : you want blood , sami ? you 've gotten it , okay ? but , at some point , all of this ranting and punishing you 're doing ? you start to seem like a flat - out bitch . sami : well , it 's better than a lying slut . wow . i just think about how great- grandpa horton would be so proud of you , do n't you ? rafe : hey , glad you could make it . jordan : i said i 'd be here , so ... rafe : yeah , come on . you okay ? i know you did n't seem too happy to see your stepfather . is there a problem , can i help ? jordan : did you do it ? rafe : do what ? jordan : did you have sex with kate again , after we were together ? ben : the story had to be the same for ... everyone . that 's the only way it worked . jj : or jordan would really be on the hook , yeah ? ben : yeah . i was a minor when she got me out of there . across state lines . jj : rescued you , you mean . ben : yeah . jj : that 's rough . ben : we grew up fast . jj : and now your dad 's back around ? ben : yeah , but not for long . we 'll deal with him . we 're not running again . jj : good . you know , if you ever need anything ... ben : yeah , yeah , thank you , man . so we 're good ? jj : as long as my sister does n't get hurt , yeah . abigail : well , my ears are burning . what 's up ? jj : um , ben just told me everything . abigail : oh , uh , well i -- i would have told him myself . i 've resigned , yes . i turned in my resignation letter , it 's done . jj : wait , what ? you resigned ? why ? eric : [ sighs ] nicole : my flight was cancelled . i had to get on this one , or i would miss my appointment with the cardinal tomorrow . eric : really ? nicole : really what ? you do n't believe my flight was cancelled ? well , uh , take a look . kay ? find one , 'cause you wo n't , which is a shame . i 'd like to be on another plane , because something is sucking the air out of this cabin . eric : yeah ? well , somebody 's sitting there . i 'm sure they 're gon na want their seat back . nicole : no , actually , i asked her to switch seats , so ... eric : you need to trade back . nicole : [ laughs ] eric , you 're gon na have to deal with me in rome , so why not now ? kristen : you 've got quite the ferocious temper , do n't you , doctor ? daniel : yeah , well some people bring it out in me . kristen : [ sighs ] what the hell happened to you when you were with jennifer , to change you so much ? [ sighs ] whatever it was , i bet you were the jerk , 'cause i ca n't imagine jennifer doing anything like that to screw things up . daniel : no , well , she did n't . kristen : hmm , what 'd you do ? daniel : yeah , but screwing up things is certainly in your bailiwick , is n't it ? and man , you have outdone yourself with this latest genius plan of yours , to lure brady into your sick , pathetic life . kristen : you have no idea what my intentions are . daniel : yeah , really , really ? a two - year - old could figure it out . kristen : you care about brady ? then you need to get something through your thick head . what you 're doing is not protecting him , it 's just the opposite . i 'm the one that can save him . theresa : uh , i found the forms online . it 's -- it 's not that complicated . you just have to sign the declaration . we do n't even have to go back to vegas . brady : that 's good news . theresa : yeah . no fuss , no muss , nothing carries over . brady : like it never happened , huh ? theresa : yeah . look , what 's the matter ? it 's clean , brady , you can have a lawyer look at it . this is exactly what you wanted , is n't it ? abigail : sami 's gotten her pound of flesh . it 's over . jj : well , does mom know ? abigail : uh , just the bare bones . i 'll catch her up tonight . jj : what ? abigail : uh , just , jordan . i 'm -- i 'm waiting for her to text me back . she 's kind of in the middle of a crisis . jj : okay , you are not taking care of other people , while this is going on , w -- abigail : why not ? i 'm fine . i will be fine . jj , the world does n't revolve around me , and i 'm not just gon na disappear under a rock . jj : i mean , i 'm -- i 'm sorry you 're going through this , abs . you know , but you 're taking it really well , wow . abigail : thanks . but you know , it 's not like i do n't deserve some of this . i brought this on myself . jj : see , it 's even just saying something like that . you 're really strong , and you never play the victim . and that makes me really proud of you . abigail : thank you . i love you , brother . jj : come here . i love you , too . ben : sorry . what 's up ? abigail : i 'm just trying to get a hold of jordan . ben : i 'll be right back . abigail : come on , jordan . please text me back . let me know you 're okay . rafe : can we go somewhere else to talk about this ? jordan : it 's true , is n't it ? rafe : you know , it 's just , this is n't the best place . jordan : what 's the matter , am i too loud ? rafe : no , it 's not that at all . no , i -- jordan : it 's true , just say it . rafe : it 's true . please , can we just go somewhere so i can explain , jordan ? jordan : what ? how it happened , why it happened ? you think i want details ? rafe : no . jordan : you say you love me , and you sleep with someone else . what else matters ? daniel : [ laughing ] how did you get even crazier than you were ? do you honestly think that you can save brady ? kristen : yes . because i was there when the pain started . daniel : yeah , just an innocent bystander , huh ? kristen : did n't have to happen , if it was was n't for that stupid dvd , and our wedding being interrupted . daniel : hey , no harm , no foul , as long as nobody found you raped a priest . kristen : brady and i would have been happily married now . he never would have fallen off the wagon . he never would have married that disgusting excuse for a woman , theresa . and he never would have attacked his father . none of this had to happen . daniel : no , it did n't . but you are aware that you caused all of this ? kristen : but i could end it , too . i know how to help him . daniel : well you think his family and friends are n't right there ? kristen : you 're his friend . have n't you tried ? have you been able to reach him ? daniel : and you honestly think that you can ? kristen : yes . because i know him better than anybody . we 're connected . still . if i could just see him , if i could just be with him , just for a minute ... i would know what i needed to do to help him . brady : no , you 're right . it 's exactly what i wanted . i 'm -- i 'm just surprised . theresa : [ scoffs ] you thought that i would hold you up for money , or something ? brady : no , no . theresa : you 're surprised that i took the initiative to start the proceedings ? i mean , brady , look , i know how busy you are , and how worried you are about your dad , and ... brady : [ sighs ] theresa : i mean , it -- it really was n't that hard to handle . brady : listen , listen , listen , look at me . thank you , thank you . it was thoughtful of you . that 's not why i 'm surprised . theresa : then ... brady : i meant i was surprised at how -- how quickly a big mistake can be erased . it 's just -- it 'd be funny if everything in life could be remedied with a declaration . [ phone ringing ] brady : [ sighs ] um , i 'm handling some of my dad 's business . this is work . do you mind if i ... theresa : no , no . brady : thanks . trevor , hi , brady black . thanks for returning . theresa : [ sighs ] jj : all right , thanks for paging my mom . it looks like she left for the day . jj : oh , okay . sorry . jj : no , no big deal . i 'll just see her at the house . hey , sami ! sami : thanks for throwing me in the kiddie pool , ej . for that alone , i should just -- jj , hi . jj : seriously ? now what you 're doing is out of control . sami : oh , so your sister sent you to fight her battles for her ? rafe : i love you . jordan : [ laughs ] i can not believe i fell for that . rafe : what happened had nothing to do with us . jordan : obviously . rafe : look , i 'm ... it did n't come out . it did not come out right , okay ? jordan : i trusted you , rafe . did you not get what a big deal that was for me ? rafe : i did . i did , jordan . jordan : and so this is what you do in response ? rafe : no , it was n't -- oh my god , no , it w -- jordan : what ? you slept with kate , what else can that be ? kate : jordan , oh , my god . you have to understand . this was all my fault . rafe : it 's really not a good time , kate . kate : no , i can see that . jordan , it was me . i pushed things with rafe . rafe : kate . kate : she needs to know . she needs to know you were n't really a part of this . jordan : i really do n't need -- kate : it all happened . rafe : kate . kate : gabi went to prison , he was going through hell , he was pushing people away . jordan : i really do n't -- kate : i found him drinking , and i wanted to help . i wanted to help , and i ended up taking advantage . i was the aggressor , okay ? jordan : i 've got it , you can stop . kate : he loves you . he 's never stopped . jordan : okay , okay , i got ta go . kate : jordan . rafe : jordan , wait ! kate : oh my god . rafe : damn it ! are you -- kate : i am sorry . i just tried to help . rafe : jordan ! please . kate : well , i tried . jj : well abigail did n't send me anywhere . i came here to see my mom , but since you 're here , might as well , have a -- a talk , or somethin ' . sami : oh , yeah . you want to tell me off . you want to tell me how mean i 'm being to your poor , sweet , little innocent sister ? well get in line . everyone wants to give abby a free pass , but i do n't . and i wo n't , so save your breath . jj : oh , so you do n't care who gets hurt ? sami : i have pretty good aim . ask around . jj : well how 'bout will ? sami : excuse me ? jj : well , abigail 's his cousin , and he cares about her . how do you think he feels to see you go after her this way ? sami : i think he 's pretty shocked by abby 's behavior . jj : right , so when he gets over his shock , i think he 's going to be embarrassed as hell at what you are doing to get back at my sister . ashamed , actually . sami : and you do n't think he 'll have any sympathy for what his mother is going through ? you know , the truth is , you 're probably right . but let me ask you something . are you , as her brother , kind of embarrassed that your sister slept with my fiancé ? are you ashamed ? ben : looking for a new job already ? abigail : well , i am officially available . not sure if i 'll find anything though , without a reference from the hospital . ben : that is the only place in town that would n't give you a rave . i know sonny needs help here , if you just want something to fill in . abigail : i might . ben : well , just tell him you want different shifts than me . i would n't get anything done . theresa : why are you looking at me like that ? brady : i ca n't believe i did n't think about this before . theresa : what ? brady : that night . what happened that night , what you said to the police . theresa : what about it ? brady : you could go to prison for what happened that night . i 'm right , are n't i ? daniel : kristen , i do n't know what kind of movie you 're running in your head , [ sighs ] but it 's kinda unlikely that seeing you will give brady a big healing catharsis . at least not the way you see it , or the way he 'll see it . kristen : are you trying to say something ? could you just say it ? daniel : yeah , kinda hard to grasp ? little lightheaded , are you ? all right , well let me tell you what . i can spell it out for you . i 'm gon na bring you to salem , and i suspect there 's a few people who will come see you ... behind bars . kristen : daniel , i do n't do jail . daniel : oh , well then this is gon na be a whole new experience for you . because you are gon na answer for drugging and raping eric . kristen : do you know what 's so strange ? daniel : hm ? kristen : eric 's name could have been cleared months ago . and yet , you still want to hang all these crimes around my neck . nicole played god with eric 's life , just as much as i did . eric : [ sighs ] you know , i really appreciate you coming to rome to help me right now , but ... spending time together , we really do n't have to do this . nicole : i get that you do n't want to hang with me . but this is work . eric : excuse me ? nicole : we can go over everything for tomorrow . eric : you mean go over our stories , or -- or maybe figure out a better lie , so i could look better in front of the cardinal ? nicole : those are trick questions , right ? okay , no , i would n't do that , eric , not now , especially . i just want to -- i just want to make sure that we 're prepared for any questions they may ask , so we -- we sound coherent , and make sense . we 've got one shot at this , and i want to get it right . eric : well i really do n't feel comfortable with that . nicole : is it really necessary to be so cold to me ? what else can i do ? i have , i -- i am doing everything in my power to undo the damage . i am making amends in every way that i know how . am i really that disgusting , that you ca n't sit next to me on an airplane ? eric : yes . yes , i do n't feel comfortable being in the same room as you , okay ? i 'm sorry , but that 's just how i feel . kristen may have been the one who raped me , but what you did , it may be even worse . nicole : [ sighs ] eric : you betrayed me . trying to stay fit but miss real pleasure ? daniel : this is n't about nicole . kristen : really ? daniel : mm - hmm . kristen : she tampered with evidence that would have cleared eric 's name , and you were stupid enough to buy her line . you must hate yourself for that . so i guess we all have a lot to answer for , do n't we ? theresa : i -- i do n't know what you 're talking about , i -- brady : theresa . you told the cops that i hit john in self - defense . now , if that was n't the truth and they figure it out , you could be on the hook for perjury . and given your record , and the charges that you faced in l.a. , they could drag your butt back there , and you 'd be in serious trouble . do you understand that ? theresa : oh . brady : oh , oh ? it -- it 's a big deal . i mean , you protected me . theresa : brady , i did n't lie to protect you . brady : come -- so what you told the cops , that was the truth ? theresa : [ stammering ] brady : was it ? theresa : from where i was standing , you did not go after john , period , okay ? what happened that night , it was n't your fault . just for once and for all , stop this . i mean , you do n't deserve to punish yourself for what happened . it was n't your fault . i mean , god , you just -- you 've got to get that through your thick skull -- brady : all right , all right , okay , theresa , okay . i wo n't -- i wo n't -- i wo n't bring it up again . i -- i got ta go , okay ? i , um ... [ sighs ] theresa : look , um ... brady , i -- i know that you need some space right now . that 's why i had the annulment done so fast . i hope it helped . brady : it did . theresa : good . you know , when things get easier ... do you think maybe ... maybe we can be friends again ? jj : all right , i 'm not going to judge abigail . sami : oh , no , of course not . she just had sex with my fiancé . but heaven forbid we judge her for it . but now she 's losing her job at the hospital , because she violated the morality clause , and you think i 'm out of control ? jj : you should be going after ej . hell , i 'd like to punch that guy in the face . sami : well i would pay money to see that . jj : well you know he 's the one who pushed this , sami . maybe you do n't want to think that . sami : you should ask your sister what really happened . ask her how she ended up in his private shower at the company locker room , while he was working . jj : all right , you know , i do n't want to hear that garbage . sami : no , of course not . who does ? but until you hear the whole story , you 're always gon na think she 's innocent , and not know what really happened . jj : no , i actually think you 're a hypocrite . i mean , what -- what are you , are you some kind of saint ? you never made a mistake ? you never broke a rule ? sami : i never got off as lightly as you did . dealing drugs ? and you would vandalize stores ? and all you had to do was some light trash patrol , and your record was clear ? no wonder you think that abby should skate . my god , the two of you are just pampered little brats . you live your whole life getting away with whatever you want . well guess what ? you tell your mom , and all of the hortons , that that 's not how i roll . i 'm going to see to it that abby pays for what she did . she deserves it , everything i 've done . she deserves what i 'm going to do , too . abigail : you know , if i worked here too , we would both be fired , so fast . ben : [ laughing ] i know . oh , yeah . hold on . abigail : ben , look , i just -- i think you should know -- ben : no , no , me first . i wanted to do this a while ago , but ... i made something for you . abigail : you ma -- [ laughing ] okay . what ? wha -- you made this ? what do you -- my god , it 's -- it 's beautiful . i did n't know you could do this . i -- i did n't know that you were an artisan . ben : no , no , no , no . it 's -- it 's just woodwork . i learned back home . abigail : oh my god . ben : i would have dumped it when we left , but jordan made me keep it up . she really did n't let me slack off in any way . she really looked out for me . abigail : well , maybe now you can look out for her . rafe : jordan , jordan , wait . jordan , please ! please , will you listen to me ? just hear me out . jj : i do n't give a damn if you go after ej , but if you mess with my sister again , i swear you are going to be sorry . really sorry . sami : [ scoffs ] i am shaking in my stilettos . [ phone ringing ] sami : boy , please . just getting started . hm , and i will collect , kate . ben : what 's wrong with jordan ? abigail : it may be nothing , but , uh , earlier , jordan and i got into sort of a , um , heated exchange with sami . jordan was trying to defend me , and sami just went off on her , and said all sorts of nasty things to her . it 's probably none of my business , but i think that jordan may need you . ben : well where is she now ? abigail : she 's supposed to be with rafe , but i do n't know if she kept those plans or not , and she 's not texting me back , so , i -- i do n't know , i mean , i 'm worried , and -- i 'm sorry , i do n't mean to butt in , i just feel like -- ben : [ sighs ] no , no , it 's -- it 's okay . i 'll call her . thank you . abigail : okay , yeah . rafe : i hate what i did to you . that i hurt you so much . jordan : was she telling the truth ? were you drunk ? rafe : yeah . but i 'm not gon na blame kate . jordan : she 's covering for you , that 's really sweet . rafe : w -- would you just forget about kate ? jordan , listen , this is about you -- it 's about you and me . jordan : no , it 's not . not anymore . so if you care about me , you just do me a favor , and leave me alone . nicole : i understand that you 're mad . i understand that you hate me . but you have no right to compare me , or what i did , to kristen dimera , and what she did . what is wrong with you ? [ sighs ] all i want to do is help you , and you need the help , if you want to be a priest again . but it -- it 's like you 're doing everything you can to make me not want to help you . god , what is going on in your head ? eric : dear god , what is going on with me ? brady : theresa , uh , look . [ sighs ] i -- i do n't think i could ever look at you , and not see what i did that night . i mean , i did it -- i -- i did it . i let myself become that person , but i -- i did it with you . and now my dad could die because of it . as much as i want to be friends with you , i ca n't -- i do n't think i could ever get that image out of my mind . and i really , i wish the best for you . i really do , 'cause i like you . i do n't think you get the credit that you should . this town is pretty rough on you , and you do n't deserve it . hey . you be good to yourself , okay ? theresa : mm . brady : [ sighs ] come back to us , dad . you come back to us , so this nightmare can finally be over . daniel : [ grunts ] kristen : ouch . okay great , i ca n't move a muscle . y -- you 're wasting your time . daniel : well keeping you locked down is a good investment . kristen : in what , exactly ? yeah , what do you think you 're gon na do ? walk out of here and find a phone and call the cops ? they 're gon na catch you , you ca n't get past them . daniel : shut up , i 'll find a way . kristen : [ sighs ] there 's only one way . leave me behind , and i promise you i will make sure you get safe passage out of here . daniel : [ laughs ] what ? i love you , you 're crazy . i love how you think you 're in charge . kristen : i am . you 're trapped . daniel : no , you 're trapped , and going to a cage . kristen : you 're never gon na take me back there . daniel : we 'll see , wo n't we ? | sami told jordan that rafe 's still sleeping with kate . abby tried to convince jordan that sami lied . sami informed jordan that she overheard rafe and kate talking about the affair . rafe wanted to tell jordan about having sex with kate , but she did n't think it was a good idea . daniel bound and gagged kristen to keep her from telling her henchman that she was in the supply closet . jordan and abby did n't believe sami at first . jordan started to think and realized that sami could have told her the truth . jordan walked away from abby and sami . abby confronted sami about what she did . kate continued to convince rafe not to say anything about what they did . sami sent kate a text letting her know that jordan knew the truth . abby let sami know that she could have ruined jordan and rafe 's relationship . sami reminded abby that she ruined her relationship . they argued a little more about abby being with ej . | <s>[INST] brady : what are you doing here ? rafe : so if jordan and i are gon na level with each other , she needs to know what happened between you and me . and the longer i wait , the worse it 's gon na be . kate : okay , no . you do n't know that . and you had good reason to stay quiet . rafe : yeah , i 'm sure that ej thought the same thing when he cheated on sami . kate : oh really ? ej did n't give that a second thought . rafe : yeah , well guess what ? i ca n't stop thinking about it . kate : rafe , you need to let it go . rafe : i ca n't . okay ? i ca n't . it 's just not me . i need to tell jordan today . abigail : sami , back off . jordan and rafe are happy together , and rafe loves her . sami : you really think that rafe still loves her ? if he does , then why is he having sex with kate ? jordan : [ scoffs ] that ca n't be . abigail : what ? what are you talking about ? sami : well , i know how you feel . i mean , it 's upsetting , you know ? you think you 're in this great relationship , and you think that everything 's going great , and no one can come between you . but , yeah . rafe is still sleeping with kate . jj : the lake was so great , and i ca n't wait to see you tomorrow . all right , so call me . ben . ben : hey . jj : hey . there you go , man . ben : oh , thanks . jj : listen , thank you for sticking by abigail . ben : oh , it 's a no - brainer . she says you 've been great , too . jj : she 's my sister , you know ? all right , later . ben : um , jj , wait . i need to clear something up with you . i lied to your friend paige , and to you . nicole : excuse me . could you hand me that drink menu ? it 's a long flight to rome , and i could use a good martini . might be the nerves . kristen : are you a nervous flyer ? eric : not normally . i 'm uh -- it 's a very important trip . i 'm eric . kristen : i 'm kristen . daniel : do n't make a sound . jj : so , paige did see you in miami . and jordan is your sister ? ben : [ sighs ] yeah , yeah . man , i -- i hate the lies , but it was necessary . jj : well , to protect jordan . ben : right . like you said , you 've got to look out for your sister . jj : so , hold on , did -- did you tell abigail , or were you lying to her , too ? abigail : do n't listen to her , jordan , okay ? she is just lashing out , because she 's upset about me . it has nothing -- sami : i have a problem with cheaters . why do you think that is ? why do you think i have a problem with people who cheat ? abigail : okay . okay , sami , i get it . you 're angry . but be angry with me , okay ? go ahead , i can take it . but do n't pick on jordan . sami : pick on her ? i 'm just trying to give her a heads - up . jordan : look , do n't engage . i do n't believe her , anyway . sami : [ sighs ] look , honey . i 'm sorry that it came out the way that it did , but it is true . i overheard kate and rafe talking about it at my house , and i heard it from their own mouths . kate : i know it 's difficult , but i really think that keeping quiet is the best thing , in the long run . rafe : no . no , that is not fair to anyone . kate : it 's fair to your relationship . you 're talking about this as if we had an affair . we slept together one time . you were in a very bad place . it did n't continue . that 's a mistake , that 's not an affair . rafe : why do you keep letting me off the hook ? hm ? it was a really bad thing that i did to jordan . kate : okay . okay . then be extra , extra nice to her , and make sure that it never happens again . because that 's the only thing -- that 's the only thing that really matters , right ? i mean , blowing it all up , just so you could feel good for five minutes ? ej : yeah , i 'm sure ej told himself the same thing . kate : okay , you need to stop comparing yourself to that -- rafe : i know that i am not like him . that 's my whole point . if i sit on this , and try and pretend it did n't happen ... it 's the exact same thing that that slime did to sami . all clear ? yeah . [ door slams ] kristen : [ groans ] daniel : shh ! kristen : [ struggling ] [ muffled speaking ] kristen : [ gagging ] daniel : okay . now listen , you even try to shout . no ? kristen : mm - mm . daniel : no . one slip , and it goes right back on . kristen : [ gasping ] [ coughing ] daniel : yeah , why do n't you just slow it down ? it 'll help . kristen : [ gasping ] daniel : shh . kristen : [ grunting ] oh , you think you 're so smart , do n't you ? you 're just delaying the inevitable . they 're g -- they 're gon na catch you . daniel : yeah , well you better hope not . because the one who 'll be sorry is you . kristen : [ shuddering ] theresa : um , hend -- henderson let me in . brady : stopping by is n't really a good idea , right now . theresa : i have a reason . brady : if you 're here to see me , theresa , i have to go to the hospital . i have a meeting , and i 'm -- theresa : this wo n't take long , brady . brady : what is this ? theresa : uh , it 's the complaint we have to file , for our annulment . eric : [ sighs ] kristen : kristen 's a family name . my grandmother 's . eric : yeah , memorable . kristen : excuse me . [ storm sounds ] eric : what are you doing here ? nicole : fastening my seatbelt ? eric : you 're not supposed to be on this plane . the bishop put you on a later flight . i made sure . nicole : well ... surprise ! [ laughing ] things changed , i 'm here now . [ sighs ] jordan : you heard rafe and kate talk about this alleged affair ? abigail : you are so full of it . sami : look , i know what you 're going through . i know it 's hard . but , rafe was saying that he did n't want to keep it a secret , kate was saying that she thought you 'd be crushed , and so she was willing to make sure that you never found out , etc . , etc . well ... you know the drill . abigail : [ scoffs ] jordan : i have to go . abigail : jordan , wait , are you okay ? jordan : yeah , i just , um ... i got ta get out of here . abigail : what is wrong with you ? sami : hmm ? abigail : why would you spread a vicious thing like that ? i know that you 're hurt , sami , but it 's turned you into a monster . kate : could you just listen to me , please ? ej played a stupid game . he got caught , and he got what he deserved . rafe : so you think it could n't happen here ? hm ? kate : well , no one has pictures of us , do they ? i mean , we 're the only two who know what happened . we know it 's not gon na happen again . and we both know that if you tell jordan , she 's going to be crushed . why would you want to do that ? rafe : [ sighs ] [ phone ringing ] kate : sorry . rafe : if you need to deal with that ... kate : no ... no . that 's nothing . look , i -- i should probably get going , right ? i mean , she 's gon na meet you here ? rafe : yeah , she is . and if she walks in here , and we 're talking ... kate : that would not be good , no . rafe : no . kate : anyway , i 'm just gon na run upstairs . i 'm gon na say hi to allie -- she 's with kayla -- then i 'll be gone . rafe : okay . thanks . kate : would you please think about it ? just think about it hard , before you do anything . rafe : okay , yeah . abigail : jordan never did anything to you . sami : hmm , and if she 'd minded her own business , maybe i would n't have said anything . abigail : but she defended me , so she deserved that ? sami : well you do bring joy to those around you , do n't you ? abigail : you could have just destroyed their relationship , sami . sami : [ laughs ] actually , it 's the people who cheat who destroy the relationship . it 's their responsibility , right ? did you miss morality 101 in school ? you could have time now to go back and take it . abigail : you want blood , sami ? you 've gotten it , okay ? but , at some point , all of this ranting and punishing you 're doing ? you start to seem like a flat - out bitch . sami : well , it 's better than a lying slut . wow . i just think about how great- grandpa horton would be so proud of you , do n't you ? rafe : hey , glad you could make it . jordan : i said i 'd be here , so ... rafe : yeah , come on . you okay ? i know you did n't seem too happy to see your stepfather . is there a problem , can i help ? jordan : did you do it ? rafe : do what ? jordan : did you have sex with kate again , after we were together ? ben : the story had to be the same for ... everyone . that 's the only way it worked . jj : or jordan would really be on the hook , yeah ? ben : yeah . i was a minor when she got me out of there . across state lines . jj : rescued you , you mean . ben : yeah . jj : that 's rough . ben : we grew up fast . jj : and now your dad 's back around ? ben : yeah , but not for long . we 'll deal with him . we 're not running again . jj : good . you know , if you ever need anything ... ben : yeah , yeah , thank you , man . so we 're good ? jj : as long as my sister does n't get hurt , yeah . abigail : well , my ears are burning . what 's up ? jj : um , ben just told me everything . abigail : oh , uh , well i -- i would have told him myself . i 've resigned , yes . i turned in my resignation letter , it 's done . jj : wait , what ? you resigned ? why ? eric : [ sighs ] nicole : my flight was cancelled . i had to get on this one , or i would miss my appointment with the cardinal tomorrow . eric : really ? nicole : really what ? you do n't believe my flight was cancelled ? well , uh , take a look . kay ? find one , 'cause you wo n't , which is a shame . i 'd like to be on another plane , because something is sucking the air out of this cabin . eric : yeah ? well , somebody 's sitting there . i 'm sure they 're gon na want their seat back . nicole : no , actually , i asked her to switch seats , so ... eric : you need to trade back . nicole : [ laughs ] eric , you 're gon na have to deal with me in rome , so why not now ? kristen : you 've got quite the ferocious temper , do n't you , doctor ? daniel : yeah , well some people bring it out in me . kristen : [ sighs ] what the hell happened to you when you were with jennifer , to change you so much ? [ sighs ] whatever it was , i bet you were the jerk , 'cause i ca n't imagine jennifer doing anything like that to screw things up . daniel : no , well , she did n't . kristen : hmm , what 'd you do ? daniel : yeah , but screwing up things is certainly in your bailiwick , is n't it ? and man , you have outdone yourself with this latest genius plan of yours , to lure brady into your sick , pathetic life . kristen : you have no idea what my intentions are . daniel : yeah , really , really ? a two - year - old could figure it out . kristen : you care about brady ? then you need to get something through your thick head . what you 're doing is not protecting him , it 's just the opposite . i 'm the one that can save him . theresa : uh , i found the forms online . it 's -- it 's not that complicated . you just have to sign the declaration . we do n't even have to go back to vegas . brady : that 's good news . theresa : yeah . no fuss , no muss , nothing carries over . brady : like it never happened , huh ? theresa : yeah . look , what 's the matter ? it 's clean , brady , you can have a lawyer look at it . this is exactly what you wanted , is n't it ? abigail : sami 's gotten her pound of flesh . it 's over . jj : well , does mom know ? abigail : uh , just the bare bones . i 'll catch her up tonight . jj : what ? abigail : uh , just , jordan . i 'm -- i 'm waiting for her to text me back . she 's kind of in the middle of a crisis . jj : okay , you are not taking care of other people , while this is going on , w -- abigail : why not ? i 'm fine . i will be fine . jj , the world does n't revolve around me , and i 'm not just gon na disappear under a rock . jj : i mean , i 'm -- i 'm sorry you 're going through this , abs . you know , but you 're taking it really well , wow . abigail : thanks . but you know , it 's not like i do n't deserve some of this . i brought this on myself . jj : see , it 's even just saying something like that . you 're really strong , and you never play the victim . and that makes me really proud of you . abigail : thank you . i love you , brother . jj : come here . i love you , too . ben : sorry . what 's up ? abigail : i 'm just trying to get a hold of jordan . ben : i 'll be right back . abigail : come on , jordan . please text me back . let me know you 're okay . rafe : can we go somewhere else to talk about this ? jordan : it 's true , is n't it ? rafe : you know , it 's just , this is n't the best place . jordan : what 's the matter , am i too loud ? rafe : no , it 's not that at all . no , i -- jordan : it 's true , just say it . rafe : it 's true . please , can we just go somewhere so i can explain , jordan ? jordan : what ? how it happened , why it happened ? you think i want details ? rafe : no . jordan : you say you love me , and you sleep with someone else . what else matters ? daniel : [ laughing ] how did you get even crazier than you were ? do you honestly think that you can save brady ? kristen : yes . because i was there when the pain started . daniel : yeah , just an innocent bystander , huh ? kristen : did n't have to happen , if it was was n't for that stupid dvd , and our wedding being interrupted . daniel : hey , no harm , no foul , as long as nobody found you raped a priest . kristen : brady and i would have been happily married now . he never would have fallen off the wagon . he never would have married that disgusting excuse for a woman , theresa . and he never would have attacked his father . none of this had to happen . daniel : no , it did n't . but you are aware that you caused all of this ? kristen : but i could end it , too . i know how to help him . daniel : well you think his family and friends are n't right there ? kristen : you 're his friend . have n't you tried ? have you been able to reach him ? daniel : and you honestly think that you can ? kristen : yes . because i know him better than anybody . we 're connected . still . if i could just see him , if i could just be with him , just for a minute ... i would know what i needed to do to help him . brady : no , you 're right . it 's exactly what i wanted . i 'm -- i 'm just surprised . theresa : [ scoffs ] you thought that i would hold you up for money , or something ? brady : no , no . theresa : you 're surprised that i took the initiative to start the proceedings ? i mean , brady , look , i know how busy you are , and how worried you are about your dad , and ... brady : [ sighs ] theresa : i mean , it -- it really was n't that hard to handle . brady : listen , listen , listen , look at me . thank you , thank you . it was thoughtful of you . that 's not why i 'm surprised . theresa : then ... brady : i meant i was surprised at how -- how quickly a big mistake can be erased . it 's just -- it 'd be funny if everything in life could be remedied with a declaration . [ phone ringing ] brady : [ sighs ] um , i 'm handling some of my dad 's business . this is work . do you mind if i ... theresa : no , no . brady : thanks . trevor , hi , brady black . thanks for returning . theresa : [ sighs ] jj : all right , thanks for paging my mom . it looks like she left for the day . jj : oh , okay . sorry . jj : no , no big deal . i 'll just see her at the house . hey , sami ! sami : thanks for throwing me in the kiddie pool , ej . for that alone , i should just -- jj , hi . jj : seriously ? now what you 're doing is out of control . sami : oh , so your sister sent you to fight her battles for her ? rafe : i love you . jordan : [ laughs ] i can not believe i fell for that . rafe : what happened had nothing to do with us . jordan : obviously . rafe : look , i 'm ... it did n't come out . it did not come out right , okay ? jordan : i trusted you , rafe . did you not get what a big deal that was for me ? rafe : i did . i did , jordan . jordan : and so this is what you do in response ? rafe : no , it was n't -- oh my god , no , it w -- jordan : what ? you slept with kate , what else can that be ? kate : jordan , oh , my god . you have to understand . this was all my fault . rafe : it 's really not a good time , kate . kate : no , i can see that . jordan , it was me . i pushed things with rafe . rafe : kate . kate : she needs to know . she needs to know you were n't really a part of this . jordan : i really do n't need -- kate : it all happened . rafe : kate . kate : gabi went to prison , he was going through hell , he was pushing people away . jordan : i really do n't -- kate : i found him drinking , and i wanted to help . i wanted to help , and i ended up taking advantage . i was the aggressor , okay ? jordan : i 've got it , you can stop . kate : he loves you . he 's never stopped . jordan : okay , okay , i got ta go . kate : jordan . rafe : jordan , wait ! kate : oh my god . rafe : damn it ! are you -- kate : i am sorry . i just tried to help . rafe : jordan ! please . kate : well , i tried . jj : well abigail did n't send me anywhere . i came here to see my mom , but since you 're here , might as well , have a -- a talk , or somethin ' . sami : oh , yeah . you want to tell me off . you want to tell me how mean i 'm being to your poor , sweet , little innocent sister ? well get in line . everyone wants to give abby a free pass , but i do n't . and i wo n't , so save your breath . jj : oh , so you do n't care who gets hurt ? sami : i have pretty good aim . ask around . jj : well how 'bout will ? sami : excuse me ? jj : well , abigail 's his cousin , and he cares about her . how do you think he feels to see you go after her this way ? sami : i think he 's pretty shocked by abby 's behavior . jj : right , so when he gets over his shock , i think he 's going to be embarrassed as hell at what you are doing to get back at my sister . ashamed , actually . sami : and you do n't think he 'll have any sympathy for what his mother is going through ? you know , the truth is , you 're probably right . but let me ask you something . are you , as her brother , kind of embarrassed that your sister slept with my fiancé ? are you ashamed ? ben : looking for a new job already ? abigail : well , i am officially available . not sure if i 'll find anything though , without a reference from the hospital . ben : that is the only place in town that would n't give you a rave . i know sonny needs help here , if you just want something to fill in . abigail : i might . ben : well , just tell him you want different shifts than me . i would n't get anything done . theresa : why are you looking at me like that ? brady : i ca n't believe i did n't think about this before . theresa : what ? brady : that night . what happened that night , what you said to the police . theresa : what about it ? brady : you could go to prison for what happened that night . i 'm right , are n't i ? daniel : kristen , i do n't know what kind of movie you 're running in your head , [ sighs ] but it 's kinda unlikely that seeing you will give brady a big healing catharsis . at least not the way you see it , or the way he 'll see it . kristen : are you trying to say something ? could you just say it ? daniel : yeah , kinda hard to grasp ? little lightheaded , are you ? all right , well let me tell you what . i can spell it out for you . i 'm gon na bring you to salem , and i suspect there 's a few people who will come see you ... behind bars . kristen : daniel , i do n't do jail . daniel : oh , well then this is gon na be a whole new experience for you . because you are gon na answer for drugging and raping eric . kristen : do you know what 's so strange ? daniel : hm ? kristen : eric 's name could have been cleared months ago . and yet , you still want to hang all these crimes around my neck . nicole played god with eric 's life , just as much as i did . eric : [ sighs ] you know , i really appreciate you coming to rome to help me right now , but ... spending time together , we really do n't have to do this . nicole : i get that you do n't want to hang with me . but this is work . eric : excuse me ? nicole : we can go over everything for tomorrow . eric : you mean go over our stories , or -- or maybe figure out a better lie , so i could look better in front of the cardinal ? nicole : those are trick questions , right ? okay , no , i would n't do that , eric , not now , especially . i just want to -- i just want to make sure that we 're prepared for any questions they may ask , so we -- we sound coherent , and make sense . we 've got one shot at this , and i want to get it right . eric : well i really do n't feel comfortable with that . nicole : is it really necessary to be so cold to me ? what else can i do ? i have , i -- i am doing everything in my power to undo the damage . i am making amends in every way that i know how . am i really that disgusting , that you ca n't sit next to me on an airplane ? eric : yes . yes , i do n't feel comfortable being in the same room as you , okay ? i 'm sorry , but that 's just how i feel . kristen may have been the one who raped me , but what you did , it may be even worse . nicole : [ sighs ] eric : you betrayed me . trying to stay fit but miss real pleasure ? daniel : this is n't about nicole . kristen : really ? daniel : mm - hmm . kristen : she tampered with evidence that would have cleared eric 's name , and you were stupid enough to buy her line . you must hate yourself for that . so i guess we all have a lot to answer for , do n't we ? theresa : i -- i do n't know what you 're talking about , i -- brady : theresa . you told the cops that i hit john in self - defense . now , if that was n't the truth and they figure it out , you could be on the hook for perjury . and given your record , and the charges that you faced in l.a. , they could drag your butt back there , and you 'd be in serious trouble . do you understand that ? theresa : oh . brady : oh , oh ? it -- it 's a big deal . i mean , you protected me . theresa : brady , i did n't lie to protect you . brady : come -- so what you told the cops , that was the truth ?

it takes people years to learn how to do a thing like this . i am over my head with this brad . `` she starts to cry . he stops her and tells her that she is not a fake . `` you are the real thing sharon newman and everyone knows that . `` as they stare into each other 's eyes , something changes . he moves forward , she lets him and then they are kissing .</s> | 18,582 |

[ scene_break ] darby : kiki ? so , what 's going on with that ? morgan : oh , the usual . just pushing her away again , screwing up the best thing i ever had ... again . darby : i never really had much use for kiki , but i have to say -- that girl has the patience of a saint when it comes to you . morgan : what do you mean by that ? darby : she hung on with you after you possibly gave her an sti in addition to , you know , getting her shot . anyone else would have ran screaming for the exit . so you need to pull it together and do right by kiki while you still can .

[ scene_break ] ava : ah , hey , morgan . how 's it going ? morgan : have you seen kiki ? ava : uh , kiki . well , she was -- she was here not too long ago . morgan : okay , well , i 've been trying to call her . i think her phone 's off . ava : or maybe she forgot to charge it . you know , she does that sometimes . morgan : do you know where she went , ava ? ava : you know , i - i think that i should stay out of this . morgan : out of what ? ava : well , your relationship with my daughter is really none of my business . morgan : no , it 's not , but if you know where she is , you need to tell me . ava : i 'm actually not comfortable with this conversation . morgan : where ... is she , ava ? ava : well , i did n't see her . but olivia did , and she said that kiki was upset , um ... about dillon quartermaine . morgan : what about him ? ava : well , she and dillon are friends . you know , they became close when you were off at the ... morgan : the mental hospital , ava ? ava : right . well , i 'm sure that kiki is just there to comfort him . nothing romantic going on .

[ scene_break ] carly : do you think for one second that sonny wants to put rocco in danger or any of us in danger ? julian 's already making threats . now , he 's probably just running his mouth , and he probably does n't have the power to back it up , but sonny has every right to be concerned . and you showing up here throwing around these ultimatums does n't help a damn thing , dante . sonny : carly , can you just take it easy ? carly : and let me be clear with you . violence is not the answer . you are smart enough to outmaneuver julian in other ways , and that 's exactly what you should do . dante : well , thank you , carly . that 's all i 'm asking you to do , sonny . bankrupt the guy . drive him out of town . i do n't know . pick some form of justice that does n't involve me being compromised to look the other way ... because if you do kill him , i 'm coming after you . sonny : can you both just relax ? i am not pulling the trigger on julian . dante : what ? you do n't think i know a hedge when i hear it ? sonny : believe what you want to believe , dante . but one thing i will guarantee -- i will always keep danger away from my family . dante : so will i . sonny : it 's all right .

[ scene_break ] tracy : come on , michael . you need to go home . michael : [ sighs ] i thought , coming here , i 'd get some sort of satisfaction , some sort of closure . all i see is a terrible waste . sabrina was a good , generous person , and now she 's dead . there 's -- there 's no closure to that . there 's no balance . there 's no satisfaction . it 's just wrong . tracy : go home . leave paul to rot . find a way to move forward . that 's how you honor sabrina . michael : moving forward seems impossible right now . tracy : michael , we 're family . we 're gon na take care of each other . that 's more than he will ever have ever again . take comfort in that . go on . paul : how 's dillon ? tracy : lost to you . you are all alone now . [ scene_break ] jordan : michael . what are you doing here ? michael : i just saw paul hornsby . look , how soon will he be tried ? do you have enough evidence to get a conviction ? jordan : actually , there will not be a trial . paul is pleading guilty to all charges . by the time he gets out of pentonville , if he ever does , he will be a very old man . he wo n't be a danger to anyone .

[ scene_break ] carly : do you think for one second that sonny wants to put rocco in danger or any of us in danger ? julian 's already making threats . now , he 's probably just running his mouth , and he probably does n't have the power to back it up , but sonny has every right to be concerned . and you showing up here throwing around these ultimatums does n't help a damn thing , dante . sonny : carly , can you just take it easy ? carly : and let me be clear with you . violence is not the answer . you are smart enough to outmaneuver julian in other ways , and that 's exactly what you should do . dante : well , thank you , carly . that 's all i 'm asking you to do , sonny . bankrupt the guy . drive him out of town . i do n't know . pick some form of justice that does n't involve me being compromised to look the other way ... because if you do kill him , i 'm coming after you . sonny : can you both just relax ? i am not pulling the trigger on julian . dante : what ? you do n't think i know a hedge when i hear it ? sonny : believe what you want to believe , dante . but one thing i will guarantee -- i will always keep danger away from my family . dante : so will i . sonny : it 's all right .

[ scene_break ] chelsea : so , victoria 's still away with johnny ? billy : no , actually , she 's back , and instead of things being better , it 's all gone downhill . chelsea : i 'm sorry . and i 'm gon na stop saying , `` i 'm sorry . `` [ chuckles ] billy : thank you . chelsea : mm - hmm . billy : so , `` my marriage is in ruin `` is my excuse . what 's yours ? chelsea : what do you mean ? billy : well , you 're not looking quite well - rested yourself . chelsea : oh , well , thanks , a lot for that . i 've , um -- i 've actually just been sketching nonstop . tonight might even be an all - nighter . billy : is that the real reason why you 're so run - down ? or is it the search for adam you and victor are so obsessed with ? [ scene_break ] lily : you know , i understand why chelsea did what she did . it 's , like , after colin tried to kidnap mattie and charlie , i was on edge for weeks afterward , with a restraining order . and chloe is no colin -- not even close . lauren : but still it 's caused a lot of friction between chelsea and her , and i do n't know . i mean , we -- it 's making it very difficult for all of us to work together . lily : i understand , but we have to function as a team if this event 's gon na be a success . lauren : you 're right . you 're right . ooh ! that reminds me . i got your e - mail with your advertising idea for my new boutique . it is fantastic . i sent it on to my marketing people , and i 'm pretty sure they 'll run with it . lily : oh , good . i 'm so glad . lauren : you know , with all my family 's problems finally behind me , i 'm making a fresh start -- you know , a new direction . kind of like you and cane with taking over the club . you 're doing such a great job . lily : aww , thank you . yeah , i mean , you know , we had a little setback after the whole [ inhales deeply ] hostage crisis , but we 're moving in the right direction now . we 've been lucky . lauren : luck ? you kidding ? you were the whiz at advertising at jabot , and cane , with his business acumen -- you 're just -- you 're the perfect fit . lily : oh , i appreciate that . yeah , i - i love working here . i think it 's great . it fits me . but , uh , i ca n't really say the same for my husband . lauren : he 's not enjoying the challenge here ? lily : he seemed to be at first , but i think now that victor has been dangling bigger and better challenges in front of his face , i do n't know . [ scene_break ] victor : now , this is a pawn , okay ? now , that 's normally considered a low figure . he 's like a soldier on the front lines in war . you know , he goes out here , and he takes all kinds of attacks . he takes the brunt of all the attacks , right ? reed : mm - hmm . victor : but if he 's smart enough , and he moves into the enemy 's territory all the way back here , he becomes a very powerful figure . reed : just like in `` killer zombies `` the video game . if they make it through the graveyard , their limbs come back . victor : [ chuckles ] nikki : well , i guess all these games are n't so different after all , are they ? victor : their limbs come back ? ! [ doorbell rings ] victor : oh , my god . wait a minute . someone is at the door . you know that they 've played this game for over 1,000 years ? cane . cane : evening , victor . uh , i hope it 's not a bad time . victor : please , come in . cane : thanks . victor : not at all . teaching my grandson how to play chess . cane : ah , it 's a great way to teach strategic thinking . victor : you bet . cane : hello , nikki . nikki : hi , cane . it 's a nice surprise . you remember reed , do n't you ? cane : how you doing , mate ? you good ? bam . nikki : hey , why do n't you and i go out in the kitchen and get some drinks ? victor : he 's gon na become a very good chess player . cane : uh - huh . victor : right , reed ? cane : so , i know you 're flying to d.c. tomorrow to get grilled by the feds about bonaventure so i dug up some information you might find useful . victor : did you find out who set me up ? cane : i 'm close to seeing who set us both up , but what i need is for you and your lawyers to buy me some more time . victor : have a seat . cane : thank you . victor : [ sighs ] what have you got ? cane : when i was looking at expanding chancellor 's biotech division , i went and met with colleagues in research and development . i wanted to ask them if there was any particular companies i should acquire . and then you have your online , uh , illegal - drug - selling debacle . victor : right . cane : so i go back through my notes to see if any of the people i met with may have steered me in the direction of bonaventure . victor : ah . and ? cane : one guy . he 's disappeared . phone is disconnected . moved from his apartment . no forwarding address . victor : why am i not surprised ? cane : now i 'm trying to track him down so i can see if he directly fed me the information . victor : or they fed it to him so that he would put bonaventure on your radar . cane : and doing so planted a time bomb set to go off when you inherited katherine 's company . victor : yeah . cane : hmm . victor : we should play chess one day . cane : you think i would stand a chance against you ? [ both chuckle ] victor : you never know . you know , once you , uh , find out who is behind all this , you just assume the position of c.e.o . of chancellor . cane : really ? funny thing is , though , i have n't really said that i 'm interested in taking the job back . victor : well , cane , forgive me for saying so , but you do n't seem disinterested , do you ? cane : [ chuckles ] victor : all right ? cane : you have a very good trip , my friend . victor : thank you . let me take you to the door . cane : thank you .

[ scene_break ] lauren : one second . chloe : hi ! lauren : [ chuckling ] hi ! hi , sweet girl . how are you ? nice to see you . abby : good to see you . lauren : and congratulations are in order . you 're engaged ! abby : no . tyler : [ groans ] lauren : no ? oh , i 'm so sorry . abby : no , it 's -- its fine . it was a slow day for the gossip press . tyler : yeah , really slow . abby : a couple pictures of us walking down the street , and suddenly we are walking down the aisle . lauren : i certainly understand how disturbing that can be -- to be subject of rumor and innuendo . been there . sorry that happened to you . and , uh , anyway , have a good night being not engaged ! abby : thanks . [ chuckles ] lauren : hi ! so sorry i 'm late . chloe : hi ! oh , please , do n't worry about it . we were just talking about how great the fashion show is going to be ... lauren : oh , my goodness . chloe : ... and how excited i am to be working with chelsea again . lauren : i am so glad to hear you say that . kevin : they 've done great work together in the past . they 're gon na do great work together again . chloe : yeah . and i know it 's -- it 's complicated , but we 're working on it , and i think that is what matters , right ? lauren : right . chloe : that 's what fashion is about -- collaboration -- and no one has ever shared my vision like chelsea does . i mean , we 're a super team . [ all chuckle ] michael : i do n't have any luck with bartenders . lauren : no ? michael : he does n't seem to like our looks . i 'm gon na go to the bar and order drinks . uh , chardonnay ? lauren : lovely . michael : mm . chloe : pomegranate martini to match my dress . lauren : ooh ! [ all chuckle ] michael : milwaukee 's finest for you ? kevin : i think i 'll come with . michael : all right . chloe : hi . lauren : hi . i 'm so happy to hear you talk like that . you know , i was just with lily , and we were going over the latest designs . ohh ! chloe : i know . they 're just so great -- the ones we were looking at earlier . lauren : no , no , no , no . the new ones that were just sent over tonight . they are exquisite . i can not wait to see them in person . you just must be so excited . chloe : there are new designs ? [ scene_break ] chelsea : this fashion show has been taking up pretty much every waking minute . billy : yeah , i 'm sure it has , but i know you still believe adam 's alive . chelsea : and you do n't , so there 's no reason in discussing it , okay ? billy : well , has there been anything new since the crazy homeless guy came forward ? said he saw adam crawl out of a burning car . i mean , that 's his story , right ? not that he 's too reliable , from what you 've told me . chelsea : like i said -- nothing to discuss . billy : so , in other words , this is just wishful thinking on your part . there 's no real reason to believe that adam -- chelsea : the man is still my husband , billy . billy : i 'm sorry . god , i did n't mean to sound -- chelsea : callous ? [ spoon clinks ] billy : you did n't deserve that . chelsea : look , the truth is , this is n't about me or about what happened to adam . this is about you and what you 're going through right now , so tell me . why is your relationship with victoria going downhill ? billy : well , i 'd say getting a legal separation is definitely a step in the wrong direction . chelsea : oh , my god . she -- billy : yeah , she had legal papers drawn up , and i signed them ... to show her that i still love her . chelsea : i 'm sorry -- run that by me again . billy : victoria needs some time , and that 's what i 'm gon na give her , because i know how badly i screwed up . i mean , to be honest , i just wanted her to say that she changed her mind , and she wanted me to come home so we could work this out , but she did n't . here i am , wondering if things could get any worse . [ scene_break ] stitch : here . keys . victoria : no ! [ keys jingle ] stitch : it 's just -- i 'm -- [ doors unlock ] victoria : oh , finally ! stitch : whoa , whoa , whoa ! whoa , whoa , whoa ! okay . okay . okay . hold on . hold on . hold on . victoria : what now ? stitch : look . look , okay ? i know you 're stirred up about billy , about those papers you signed , and while i want to believe that you 'll just sit here quietly -- victoria : listen -- for the last time , i 'm not driving anywhere , and if you think that i would , you do n't know me very well . stitch : i know you well enough to know that you 're hurt , angry , and very , very sad . okay ? [ keys jingle ] [ keys clatter ] victoria : hey ! you have no right to do that . what 's wrong with you ? stitch : victoria . victoria : really ? ! you want the keys so bad -- stitch : yeah , i do . i do . i do . [ scene_break ] victor : now , sometimes , you have to let some pieces go in order to preserve your kingdom , right ? nikki : he 's giving you a hint , there . remember , you 're in check . your king is in jeopardy . unless you do something in this next turn to protect him , game over . victor : [ chuckles ] you 're a smart boy . that 's exactly the move i would have made . nikki : well , letting go can sometimes be a difficult concept . victor : [ chuckles ] now , let 's talk about the end game . reed : it 's about trapping the king . victor : that 's right . it 's called checkmate . now , remember , the king is the heart of his empire . reed : and if you lose a king , everyone 's lost . victor : if you lose the king , then you 're in big trouble . so , remember , you have to use your -- your head . you have to think . you have to use strategy and tactics in order to preserve your kingdom , right ? reed : mm - hmm . victor : that 's right . [ cellophane rings ] victor : excuse me . i need to take that . i 'll be right back . nikki : you 're very lucky your grandfather can teach you . victor : what 'd you find out ? nikki : told you this before , but he taught me how to play chess , and it was so hard for me . i could n't get it . victor : well , i 'll be damned . nikki : now i 'm glad you can play . [ scene_break ] cane : mm . lily : wow . [ chuckling ] i missed you , too . cane : yeah ? did you have a busy day ? lily : mm . i did have a busy day . it was crazy . chelsea has been cranking out all these designs for the fashion show , and they 're all so incredible . lauren and i ca n't even figure out which ones to use . cane : uh - huh . lily : i know . i know . first - world - people problems . um , oh , the electrician finally got us a bid on the chandelier . i think i have it here somewhere . oh . what do you think ? is that too high ? cane : i ca n't see it . my glasses are all fogged up . lily : you 're so funny . you do n't wear glasses . cane : oh , so that 's why i ca n't see it . lily : oh , my god , you are crazy . how was your day ? where have you been ? cane : uh , my day was good . i had to go and see victor . uh , he has to go to washington to answer some questions , so i , uh , had to give him some new information . lily : oh . i 'm sure he 's very grateful for that . cane : not half as grateful as i am . lily : [ chuckles ] [ both chuckle ] [ books crash ] lily : [ chuckles ] [ both panting ] [ scene_break ] chelsea : i think you 're doing the right thing -- giving victoria the space she needs . billy : you do n't think it means she 's done with me ? chelsea : no . i think it means she needs to be sure before she makes any big decisions . i think it 's a good sign , billy . i really do . if she did n't love you -- if your marriage was n't important to her , she would n't -- billy : chelsea . listen , i know you 're trying to help , but talking about it just makes it worse . [ cell phone rings ] chelsea : excuse me . victor ? victor : my p.i . managed to trace the last call you got from that mystery person . chelsea : oh , my god . you found adam ? what did your investigator say ? where 's adam ? is he all right ? victor : apparently , the call pinged off a cell phone tower in new orleans . probably does n't mean a damn thing -- most likely a wrong number . chelsea : i know in my heart it was him . we have to go to new orleans . victor : chelsea , hold your horses . chelsea : but , victor -- victor : as soon as my p.i . finds out something more definitive , we will follow up , all right ? chelsea : [ sighs ] fine . i 'll be waiting to hear from you . thanks for letting me know . billy : okay , is he alive , or is n't he ? and what 's this about new orleans ? is victor going ? chelsea : okay , i told you , billy . i 'm not gon na talk to you about this . billy : no . if you 're right , and he 's alive , i need to know . i have a right to know . chelsea : maybe its better you do n't know . billy : how the hell can you say that ? chelsea : because you 're only out for revenge . you are obsessed , and it almost cost you and adam your lives ! just let victor and me investigate this , okay ? you have more important things to worry about . [ scene_break ] stitch : [ sighs ] victoria . victoria : no , do n't . do n't say anything , okay ? especially do n't say it was a mistake ... because i 'm not sorry that it happened . [ scene_break ] abby : it 's not that i enjoy being -- tyler : what , un - engaged ? abby : i enjoy being with you -- end of story -- whether or not that involves a ring . tyler : well , that 's the right answer . abby : not that being engaged would be any less ... tyler : what ? less enjoyable ? abby : it 's just people keep talking about it , keep saying that we 're engaged , and we 're not , and -- and it 's frustrating . tyler : well , either way , it 's something that should be our idea . abby : exactly . and if that time comes ... tyler : `` if `` ? abby : oh , it 's not like we 're talking about when -- like , actually getting ... tyler : well , what if we were ? [ scene_break ] michael : chloe 's in a good mood . kevin : she 's in a great mood . michael : i stand corrected . i 'm glad to hear she 's working things out with chelsea . kevin : it 's huge . her whole life -- it 's all coming together , despite the naysayers . michael : i hope you 're not implying that i 'm still one of them , because we 've already had that conversation , kevin , and i 'm not -- i 'm not in the mood for another three rounds of whether i 'm sincere when i wish you well . kevin : okay , look , about lunch the other day , i , uh -- michael : skip it . kevin : look , i was kind of a jerk . michael : yes , you were . kevin : look , i was -- i was insecure so i got defensive , and i took it out on the person closest to me who 's not chloe . michael : how have things been going ? kevin : uh , they 're still kind of weird . michael : give it time . kevin : yeah . i love her a lot . i do . i really want this to be a forever thing , you know ? michael : i know you do . kevin : marrying her was the right thing to do . she needs certainty in her life -- the kind of stability that i can bring her . what , you 're not even gon na crack a smile on that one ? [ chuckles ] michael : i 'm laughing on the inside . kevin : [ chuckles ] michael : you know , this was nice . it 's a good idea -- the four of us ... kevin : yeah . michael : ... getting together . kevin : it was her idea . michael : really ? kevin : mm - hmm . i was beat after work . i just wanted to sit on the couch , watch the bulls , uh , celtics , but she was like , `` no , let 's go out . `` she would n't take no for an answer . [ chuckles ] i think she 's eager to get back to having a normal life . chloe : i do n't understand . what do you mean she updated the line ? you realize that she did not consult me about this . i am her partner . lauren : okay -- chloe : do you realize what a slap in the face that is ? lauren : i 'm so sorry . i - i assumed that you saw them . chloe : no , i did n't see them . this is our company . what about me ? lauren : okay , i - i - i do n't know what happened . i - i mean , maybe she just did n't want to bother you at night . chloe : what do you mean she did n't want to bother me ? are you defending her ? lauren : no . not defending her at all . i 'm just trying to figure out why she did it . chloe : i do n't understand , because i told her that i am fully committed to this line and to this business -- that i am willing to work with her day and night . lauren : maybe she was just being sensitive to you being a newlywed and needing time alone with kevin . chloe : uh , i would rather be working . [ scene_break ] nikki : well , reed is all tucked in . he said , `` tell grandpa that playing chess is almost as fun as killing zombies . `` victor : [ chuckles ] he said that ? such a cute kid . he 's adorable . nikki : and you 're very good with him . victor : i love my grandkids . wish they would never get older . nikki : well , i know how hard you fight to keep them all together . victor : yeah . victoria and nicholas are doing their own thing , and ... adam is gone . and abby 's involved with a man that i do n't think she 's known for very long . i certainly do n't know much about him at all . nikki : it 's never too late to reach out to the ones you love . victor : so the saying goes . nikki : victor , it 's more than a saying . it 's true . i know the kids love you , but you need to show them that you love them , not just tell them ... no matter what . victor : what -- what are you saying ? i love them . i 'm very concerned about them -- obviously , too concerned , i guess . nikki : they just need to see it a little bit more . victor : sometimes , i do n't get this whole thing . [ scene_break ] lily : so , was that sudden burst of energy to distract me from asking more questions about victor ? cane : [ inhales sharply ] you caught me , huh ? [ both laugh ] lily : you are so wrong . cane : [ sighs ] listen , to answer your question , i was n't trying to distract you with sex , 'cause i do n't have to distract you 'cause i have nothing to hide , okay ? lily : look , i know -- [ sighs ] i know that this all started with you trying to hunt for the person behind this mess with bonaventure , but , cane , i need you to be honest with me . cane : [ sighs ] about ? lily : has it become something more ? i mean , do you want to go work for victor at newman - chancellor ? [ scene_break ] abby : so , what if we were talking about getting engaged , or actually getting ... tyler : well , i think that we 've both seen enough bad marriages to just jump into something all lightly , right ? you know , and it 's not like either one of our parents set a good example . abby : well , when you put it that way , that 's very depressing . tyler : yeah , you know , seeing other people in all their pain and heartache -- it 's like , `` why bother ? `` you know ? we could just leave things the way they are , keep having a good time . abby : great question . tyler : but , you know , i 'm not my sister . i actually do believe in marriage . but i can only think of one reason to get married -- that 's 'cause we think its right for us . abby : so , what are you saying ? [ scene_break ] chloe : okay , um , all right , that 's not -- that 's not what i was trying to say . what i was trying to say was that work is the only thing that keeps me sane right now . work and you . work and you -- that 's what i 'm trying to say , because if it were n't for you , i would be locked in a psych ward trying to convince patients to have their highlights done . [ chuckling ] so ... michael : [ chuckles ] chloe : see ? he gets it . bad joke . i owe you . i owe you big . huge . okay , and there i go monopolizing the conversation again . drinks ? yeah . cheers . come on . michael : cheers . chloe : look at that . [ glasses clinking ] lauren : cheers . chloe : so , michael , i heard that you are working full - time at the firm . so , come on , tell us -- any juicy cases going on ? [ scene_break ] billy : you 're not playing fair , chelsea . chelsea : you do n't want to talk about your wife . i do n't want to talk about my husband . what 's not fair ? billy : okay , uh , show me what you 're working on . chelsea : since when do you care about my work ? billy : since ... now . hmm ? i mean , you said you were snowed under . chelsea : okay , billy , look , um , i 'm not trying to be rude , but you and i are n't friends , so you do n't have to create small talk to be polite . why do n't you just go home , okay ? so i can continue to work . [ scene_break ] [ keys jingle ] victoria : hey , um , do you want to come inside a sec ? stitch : um ... victoria : the boys are staying at my parents ' house tonight . [ sighs deeply ] [ door closes ] victoria : you know , i just did n't really feel like giving the driver an earful . but , for the record , you know ... this was n't exactly like the time i kissed you . stitch : [ scoffs ] definitely not . victoria : what i meant is , i 'm not gon na go running back to billy and , you know , begging him for forgiveness . stitch : that 's your decision . i mean , you know , i 'm -- i 'm divorced , and you 're still married , so ... victoria : legally separated . i mean , i need this time for myself , away from my marriage , so ... you know , if you have this idea in your head that you 're coming between me and my husband , you 're not at all . stitch : well , if we 're gon na be so honest with each other ... victoria : well , do you have something to say ? stitch : ever since that kiss , i 've ... acted like it was just something that happened -- you know , that it had nothing to do with me -- that i just happened to be there , standing there when you needed someone . but every day since that kiss ... i 've thought about being with you .

i did n't tell ellie anything . she 's not even here . spinelli : okay . then where is she ? maxie : i do n't know . the last i saw her , she was heading -- spinelli : heading where ? maxie : out . she did n't come home last night . spinelli : she -- she did n't come home ? maxie : no , but , i mean , it was new year 's eve , so maybe she 's still out partying . spinelli : come on . ellie partying ? where would she party ? who would she party with ? michael : i do n't know , spinelli . maybe she gathered some of her geek friends to memorize constellations or they 're out looking for birds that only appear on new year 's . i am not my roommate 's keeper . spinelli : okay , you do n't -- you do n't think she would have gone out and -- maxie : and what ? spinelli : slept with someone ? maxie : like we did ? sam : i should be back soon . i just got to find todd and johnny and make them pay . carly : they 're both in lockup . sam : great . convenient . should n't take too long , then . carly : johnny -- johnny spent months covering his tracks -- getting connie to lie for him . and todd -- who should have wanted to destroy the man , let 's himself get blackmailed into protecting johnny , the guy who killed his granddaughter . i mean , my god ! and then -- after all that , months and months of lies comes out only hours after i make the worst mistake of my life . sam : what kind of mistake , carly ? carly : what do you think ? sam : oh . no . no . do n't tell me you did . carly : yeah , i slept with him . i slept with todd . sam : hey , i ca n't say i did n't warn you . carly : that 's the funny thing is , todd warned me , too ! over and over again , he told me what a horrible person he was . and i thought , `` what the hell , man ? if he 's being honest about that , he 's gon na be honest about everything else . `` i thought -- i thought we had an understanding . i thought that we could be together and not judge each other and trust each other . but you were right . you told me todd was gon na make a fool out of me , and -- he did . johnny : you 're incredible . one minute , you 're trying to kill me , and the next , you turn around and you 're asking favors ? todd : i was n't trying to kill you . it was more like a wake - up call . johnny : oh . now you expect me to keep you out of prison . todd : yeah . johnny : what 's in it for me ? todd : what do you want ? johnny : one thing . todd : okay . name it . johnny : carly . spinelli : it 's after midnight ! and i am -- hoo - hoo - hoo ! i am alone ! i waited for you , ellie . i 'm here . where are you ? our coupledom is gone , much like 2012 . so happy new rest of your life . ellie : it 's a disaster . sabrina : oh , ellie , please try not to get too upset . you 're still in very serious condition . ellie : he thinks i did n't meet up with him last night because i do n't want to be with him . he has no idea how wrong he is . spinelli : you 're right . i am in -- i am in no place to judge ellie . maxie : we do n't even know if she did anything judgeable . this is ellie we 're talking about . i mean , she probably just talked someone to death about mitochondria , whatever the hell that is . spinelli : yeah , but even if she did bed some stranger , whether it was some -- you know , washed - up mathlete or goateed hipster academic , i could n't say a word because i did the exact same thing . not to say that you are or were a mathlete or had a goatee , but ... i am so hung over . maxie : it 's okay , spinelli . it was just sex -- sex i 've been waiting for months to have , but now it 's a total mess . spinelli : wait , i 'm sorry . what 's that ? maxie : you do n't have to pretend that last night was anything but a drunken one - night stand . spinelli : no , maxie , i -- i took advantage of you . maxie : spinelli , please . you could n't take advantage of anyone . spinelli : no , i think i could , and under the right or wrong circumstances -- maxie : no , you are the kindest , nicest , most considerate person that 's ever lived , even when you 've had slightly too much peppermint schnapps . spinelli : still , i feel like i have to apologize . i mean , you were not in a good place . maxie : neither were you . spinelli : oh , that 's true . i was not . it 's funny . it seems that whenever you are not in a good place and i am not in a good place , we end up in the same place . together . which makes me wonder -- are these ostensibly random -- confluences really an accident or -- is it kismet ? maxie : what do you mean ? spinelli : well , i -- i chose to be with ellie , right ? but at every turn , i -- i gravitated back to you . and , god , last night , i had this whole huge production on the g.h . roof planned for ellie , but she did n't show up . you did . and here we are -- alone -- together . maxie : what are you saying ? spinelli : what if this is the way it 's meant to be ? sonny : under arrest for what ? connie : none of your business . now , if you 'll excuse me , i have some phone calls to make . hey , liv ? hey , it 's me . sonny : do we have to do this now ? dante : sonny , she 's wanted for assaulting starr , abducting her husband , reckless driving , vehicular assault -- she hit a pedestrian , sonny . this all stuff she did before she fled police custody . sonny : she fled to see her son because he may not make it . dante : really ? sonny : yes . dante : because if trey dies because of an accident that connie caused during an abduction , she 's going away for felony murder . sonny : come on , dante . be honest with yourself . dante : what are you talking about ? all i can see that connie has done is left a trail of broken bodies and ruined lives in her wake . she can tell her sad story to a judge , for all i care . sonny : all that can wait . her son is in i.c.u . he 's brain - dead . she needs to be with him . dante : so now all of a sudden she gives a damn about him ? what if this is all an act ? sonny : it was before . it 's not now .

[ chuckles ] all so he could humiliate me all over again with connie but this time in front of a lot of people at a wedding . sam : well , at least you -- you did n't take him back after that . carly : oh , i did n't need to take him back because i had my good friend todd , yeah . and , i mean , people were lined up for blocks warning me not to spend any time with todd , but i knew better because we were kindred spirits . we were two misunderstood troublemakers . sam : it sounds like you saw yourself in todd . yeah , you should have known that was a huge -- huge mistake , carly . carly : you know , you can be a real bitch sometimes . sam : you know it takes one to know one . carly : [ chuckles ] you know , who knows ? maybe i can use this for good . i could get people -- women to line up their boyfriends in front of me , and if i 'm attracted to them , they know they should run -- run -- for their life . sam : oh , come on . what about jax ? carly : jax was wonderful -- and i loved him , but jax just could n't handle my life and the choices i made . there was only one person who could -- one man -- who would never fail me , and -- i guess that 's why i 'm here , you know ? because this is where i always came when my life would fall apart . and jason never judged me . he was always there for me . now he 's gone . sam : jason is not gone , carly . he may not be here , but he 's not gone . carly : sam -- i know that it 's hard to hear . it 's hard for me to say it . it 's hard for me to feel it . but we got to face the truth -- we both do . jason 's dead . carly : sam , you got to stop this . sam : stop what , carly ? ! looking for my husband ? my son 's father ? i am trying to bring jason home -- to you , to his friends , to his family . carly : there 's nothing i want more than to see jason again , but it ca n't happen because he ca n't come back . sam : do n't say that . you say that again , i will rip every hair out of your head . carly : jason was shot . sam : he 's been shot before . carly : he fell into the water . sam : it does n't mean that he did n't come out . carly : then why has n't he come back ? sam : i do n't know , carly ! i do n't know . maybe the guy who shot him still has him . carly : maybe he drowned . sam : why are you doing this ? how come ? how come , out of all people , you stop believing in him ? how come ? carly : jason was the strongest person i knew , okay ? but he 's not immortal . he was shot , and he fell into the harbor , and he 's dead , sam . sam : no ! that is a lie ! carly : no , it 's not ! i 'm sorry , but i am sick and tired of burying my head in the sand and not facing the truth when it 's staring me right in the face . i did it with johnny , and i did it with todd , but i will not do it with jason . i 'm not gon na dishonor what he meant to me , because he would want me to stand up and move on . he would want me to face this loss . sam : no . carly : yes , he would . look at me ! sam : no ! there is no body , carly ! if there 's no body , he ca n't be dead ! you have to have a body ! carly : jason died , sam . sam : no . carly : yes , he did , and i 'm sorry . because i know it hurts -- it hurts me , too -- but you 're just gon na have to face the truth . jason is dead . todd : you do n't really care about carly . you do n't want her to be happy . you 're willing to destroy whatever she 's enjoying with me just out of some kind of petty revenge . johnny : this is really not the way to convince me to do a favor for you . todd : carly is a strong woman , okay ? she can handle whatever life throws at her . but starr -- starr 's just a child . and you killed her entire family . this would be a way for you to demonstrate -- well , to make up for all of the suffering that you 've caused . you really want starr to lose me , too ? johnny : you 're gon na lose her when she finds out that you gave sam 's baby to your ex - wife . todd : she already knows . she knows . and she could have turned me in , but she did n't -- 'cause she loves me . because i 'm her father . [ breathes deeply ] and she understands that sometimes i do bad things to protect the people that i love . johnny : and sometimes to protect yourself . todd : i 've never pretended to be anything other than what i am . that 's something you do . johnny , call a few goons . come on . do n't you want to show starr that you actually are as compassionate as you say you are ?

maxie : what do you mean ? spinelli : well , i -- i chose to be with ellie , right ? but at every turn , i -- i gravitated back to you . and , god , last night , i had this whole huge production on the g.h . roof planned for ellie , but she did n't show up . you did . and here we are -- alone -- together . maxie : what are you saying ? spinelli : what if this is the way it 's meant to be ? sonny : under arrest for what ? connie : none of your business . now , if you 'll excuse me , i have some phone calls to make . hey , liv ? hey , it 's me . sonny : do we have to do this now ? dante : sonny , she 's wanted for assaulting starr , abducting her husband , reckless driving , vehicular assault -- she hit a pedestrian , sonny . this all stuff she did before she fled police custody . sonny : she fled to see her son because he may not make it . dante : really ?

[ scene_break ] nora : i did n't do this , clint . lindsay did this . she lied about her insanity . all i did was make sure that bo found out about it before he brought her into my son 's life permanently . clint : well , it sounds to me like bo never would have found out if it had n't been for you . nora : and is that all right with you ? clint : i do n't know . all i know is that i have n't seen my brother this happy since before pa died . nora : so i should keep my mouth shut about a murder because , what , the victim is someone you did n't really like very much anyway ? are you kidding me ? clint : you know something , asa used to say , `` some secrets are worth far more than the truth . `` [ scene_break ] bo : maybe you 're right . maybe i would n't have been able to live with this . but now i guess we 'll never know one way or the other . lindsay : bo , please do n't go . bo : how are we supposed to work our way through this ? nora : i 'm sorry , bo . bo : save it . lindsay : are you happy now ?

[ scene_break ] spinelli : understandably , with the overabundance of danger and intrigue over the last few days , you 've been ... less than attentive to your responsibilities as best man . jason : wait , hold on . you really have n't asked me to do anything yet , right ? spinelli : i 'm all too aware that the list of duties contains many things that you might have antipathy for , and i mean , among them , any participation in pre - wedding festivities , the ritual of a bachelor party . i mean , has stone cold even given any thought to who could or should lead the chicken dance ? jason : i 'm not going to answer that question . spinelli : okay . which limits the duties of best man to what , a bastion of moral support , bearer of the wedding rings , the witness of record at the ceremony ? recent events have given the jackal pause vis - à - vis the mob prince 's heroism without which i would be a perforated corpse . and indeed , john zacchara has proven to be a true friend . so ... if you -- if this is too much for you -- jason : no , no -- spinelli : if you do n't want to do it -- jason : if you want johnny to be your best man , that 's okay . i mean , that works .

[ scene_break ] spinelli : rest assured , i have but one mentor , and though the mob prince 's rescue was spectacular , it pales in comparison to the many times that you 've saved my life . jason : you do n't really have to explain to me . i think johnny will be a great best man , and he did just save your life , okay ? spinelli : i 'm touched by stone cold 's nobility and sacrifice , which proves to me what i already know -- that you are my truest friend . and with all gratitude to the mob prince , it is clear that -- jason : i 'm just saying i really do n't mind if -- spinelli : well , i do mind . this discussion has confirmed to me that i made the right choice in you . jason : thank you . spinelli : you know , most are unaware of the fact that , in the earliest tradition of marriage , the function of the best man was to be the groom 's other self . so in that sense , had anthony zacchara 's minions been successful in taking my life on the way to the church , stone cold would have to stand in my place and marry my bride . [ scene_break ] maxie : so what 's your opinion about spinelli and me getting married ? robin : you honestly want to know ? maxie : mm - hmm . robin : okay . i think spinelli is the best thing that 's ever happened to you , especially compared to the other guys you 've been with . he gives you confidence . he makes you happy . i mean , spending the rest of your life with spinelli would be a wonderful thing . but that does n't mean you have to get married right now . you both are so young . you have so much time . i guess i just do n't understand why you ca n't be together and be in love . maxie : but if we 're going to be together and be in love , why should n't we just get married anyway ? robin : because you 're not sure . maxie : what if i 'm wrong ? robin : i think you should trust your instincts on this one . something is telling you to put the brakes on . listen to yourself . you 'll know when the time is right to get married . maxie : well , wait . how did you know when the time was right ? like , what changed your mind about patrick ? robin : well , there was a day when i realized i trusted patrick completely , and all of my doubts disappeared . maxie : well , then , that 's my answer . i mean , i already trust spinelli completely . i just wish he had n't started talking about having kids so soon . not that that 's a bad thing , but you were just a little older than me when you had emma . robin : okay . but you need to be honest with spinelli about the whole kids thing . maxie : oh , no , do n't worry . if spinelli wants to start a family early , i 'll just start taking the pill . robin : oh , maxie . if you ca n't talk to your future husband about these things , you should have doubts . maxie : do you know how hurt spinelli would be if he thought that i did n't want to have a child with him ? i 'll just start taking birth control and tell him that i have fertility issues or something . robin : maxie , i do n't think that -- maxie : problem solved . thank you so much , robin !

[ olivia sighs ] johnny : i 'll say it again , then , so there 's no mistake . please leave , claudia . claudia : i ca n't believe you 'd say that to me . olivia : your brother is lying in intensive care . could you just let your drama wait until he 's strong enough to handle it ? sonny : you 're the one who should probably leave , olivia . johnny : sonny , let 's not pretend that you 're trying to protect claudia here . sonny : no , i -- johnny : you do n't want olivia here with me . sonny : i just got business to discuss , and it ca n't wait . and she 's already made it clear to me that she does n't want any part of the mob . so you may want to leave before , you know , you hear something you do n't want to hear . olivia : sonny , he is not strong enough to discuss business with you right now . johnny : no , it 's okay . the sooner he says what he came here to say , the sooner both of them can leave . olivia : are you sure ? johnny : promise me you 'll come back , huh ? olivia : okay . [ scene_break ] spinelli : rest assured , i have but one mentor , and though the mob prince 's rescue was spectacular , it pales in comparison to the many times that you 've saved my life . jason : you do n't really have to explain to me . i think johnny will be a great best man , and he did just save your life , okay ? spinelli : i 'm touched by stone cold 's nobility and sacrifice , which proves to me what i already know -- that you are my truest friend . and with all gratitude to the mob prince , it is clear that -- jason : i 'm just saying i really do n't mind if -- spinelli : well , i do mind . this discussion has confirmed to me that i made the right choice in you . jason : thank you . spinelli : you know , most are unaware of the fact that , in the earliest tradition of marriage , the function of the best man was to be the groom 's other self . so in that sense , had anthony zacchara 's minions been successful in taking my life on the way to the church , stone cold would have to stand in my place and marry my bride . [ scene_break ] maxie : so what 's your opinion about spinelli and me getting married ? robin : you honestly want to know ? maxie : mm - hmm . robin : okay . i think spinelli is the best thing that 's ever happened to you , especially compared to the other guys you 've been with . he gives you confidence . he makes you happy . i mean , spending the rest of your life with spinelli would be a wonderful thing . but that does n't mean you have to get married right now . you both are so young . you have so much time . i guess i just do n't understand why you ca n't be together and be in love . maxie : but if we 're going to be together and be in love , why should n't we just get married anyway ? robin : because you 're not sure . maxie : what if i 'm wrong ? robin : i think you should trust your instincts on this one . something is telling you to put the brakes on . listen to yourself . you 'll know when the time is right to get married . maxie : well , wait . how did you know when the time was right ? like , what changed your mind about patrick ? robin : well , there was a day when i realized i trusted patrick completely , and all of my doubts disappeared . maxie : well , then , that 's my answer . i mean , i already trust spinelli completely . i just wish he had n't started talking about having kids so soon . not that that 's a bad thing , but you were just a little older than me when you had emma . robin : okay . but you need to be honest with spinelli about the whole kids thing . maxie : oh , no , do n't worry . if spinelli wants to start a family early , i 'll just start taking the pill . robin : oh , maxie . if you ca n't talk to your future husband about these things , you should have doubts . maxie : do you know how hurt spinelli would be if he thought that i did n't want to have a child with him ? i 'll just start taking birth control and tell him that i have fertility issues or something . robin : maxie , i do n't think that -- maxie : problem solved . thank you so much , robin !

cane : scotch , neat . lily : wow . for somebody who wants custody of our kids , you 're not setting much of an example . cane : oh , i 'm sorry . i 'm sorry . you want me to be a role model for the kids ? i do n't know . maybe joe would be a better role model . do you think ? lily : what kind of a father are you being right now ? if there was an emergency with the kids , you would n't be able to handle it . cane : okay . the reason i ca n't handle it is because you broke our vows in your lack of judgment . that is why i 'm drinking . lily : what about all the times that your lack of judgment have put our family at risk ? joe : you know , why do n't you tone it down a little bit , cane ? better yet , go sleep it off . cane : oh , look who it is . it 's my good buddy joe . joe : now you 're embarrassing yourself and your wife . cane : excuse me ? lily : cane , stop it . cane : you want me to stop it ? is that what you 're saying to me ? you 're gon na sit here and defend a guy that you say means nothing to you ? hilary : yes , and i appreciate lily helping us with all of the wedding planning , but with less than a week to just -- there 's just -- there 's a million things to do , and i -- devon : what million things ? i thought we just have to show up and say , `` i do . `` hilary : did you just blank out when your sister and i were talking about the music , the flowers , the guests , and my dress ? devon : you guys talked about all that stuff ? maybe i did blank out a little bit . hilary : i know you were listening , though , right , when we were talking about the rings ? devon : we have to get rings ?

[ chuckles softly ] and for the first time , i am 100 % sure that i am marrying the man that i 'm gon na spend the rest of my life with . devon : you bet . nikki : i am really glad that you told me how you feel about hilary and devon 's relationship . and ... because of that , i feel i can say i 'm just really ... concerned about these ... fantasies that you have about wanting to punish them . i mean , i thought you were over all of that . neil : yeah . nikki : i heard that you were gon na just rebuild your life . neil : and i - i overheard them . they were discussing places to get married . get this . you know one of the possibilities ? the park where hilary and i got married , where she professed her undying love to me . that 's right . nikki : you are kidding . neil : no . nikki : that just churned everything up . neil : the thought of them riding off into the sunset together -- it gets to me . it makes me want to take away any happiness that they 're ever gon na have in their lives . nikki : i understand that . i just want to make sure that they are fantasies . i mean , please tell me that you 're not gon na act on this . michael : oh . hello . lauren : are you here seeing a client ? michael : and other lawyerly stuff . you ? lauren : oh , i just came back from the hospital . michael : oh . you saw paul ? lauren : yeah . he 's actually doing pretty well . he 's ordering around everybody and insisting on getting released . michael : that sounds about right . lauren : [ chuckles ] michael : what are you doing here ? lauren : here ? i just dropped off something for chris . michael : she 's still refusing to leave paul 's side ? lauren : and he 's still insisting that she go home to rest . michael : but she wo n't . lauren : no . that 's what a good wife does . she sticks by her husband , no matter how hard he tries to push her away . michael : and a good husband ... should appreciate his wife 's support and not try to push her away . lauren ... lauren : i have an appointment . harding : you should look happier . michael : why is that , detective ? harding : because the charges against your client victor newman are being dropped now that jack abbott has supported his claim of self - defense . michael : as they should be . harding : maybe you 're just upset you 're not getting that hefty fee now that things are getting settled without a trial . michael : the case may be closed , detective , but nothing 's settled . harding : what does that mean ?

do n't -- do n't what , noah ? do n't be terrified ? because i am . for all we know , she could have led this killer straight to our doorstep . kevin : did you actually see marco 's body in the car in the water ? marisa : i was too busy trying to save my own life . mariah : then how exactly can you be sure he 's dead ? marisa : after i made it to the shore , i stayed by the lake long enough to catch my breath . if marco got out of the water , i would have seen him . mariah : and if his body was still in the lake , we would have seen him . kevin : he could have gotten to the shore before you did . we 've got to go to the cops with this . marisa : no . mariah : yes . it was bad enough that you wanted us to keep our mouths shut about marco being your ex when you thought he was dead . marisa : but his associates -- mariah : yes , yes , we know . his associates -- they 're gon na find you . they 're gon na track you down and get revenge . blah , blah , blah . noah : this is n't a joke , mariah . mariah : you 're damn right it 's not a joke . marco himself could track her down , and us along with her . noah : not if marco does n't know marisa is here . kevin : this is the last place he saw her . it 's gon na be the first logical place he comes back to . noah : so , why has n't he shown up yet , then , huh ? mariah : maybe he 's injured . noah : or running . if marco survived the crash , he probably just took off . would n't you ? mariah : or maybe he 's waiting for a chance to kill us , like he did with our friends . noah : i 'm not gon na let you sell her out , okay ? not gon na happen . marisa : noah , your sister is just concerned . noah : yeah , and so am i -- about you . kevin : all right . everybody , just let 's cool it , all right ? everybody take a minute . we need to think about this . noah : yeah . yeah . i 'm all for that . kevin : we 're gon na go for a walk . noah : yeah , you guys do that . make it a long , thoughtful walk . mariah : [ scoffs ] i 'm sorry . wh - where do you get off telling me to take a walk ? i do n't need to take a walk . that 's the last thing that i need to do right now . kevin : we 're taking a walk ... right to the police station . let 's go . neil : these fantasies that i 've been having about exacting payback , right -- it 's just my way of -- of processing . nikki : it 's not healthy for you , neil . you 've got to figure out another way to deal with this . you have to think more positive . i do n't know . maybe you could get involved with a charity or ... neil : or -- or -- or maybe i could get involved with some more exercise or maybe some meditation or how 'bout some yoga ? nikki : any of the above would be better than you dwelling on revenge . neil : okay . i 'll work on it . nikki : okay . you 're gon na have to , because , like it or not , they are going to be husband and wife very soon , and there is nothing you can do about it . devon : now , i promise that i 'm going to throw myself 100 % into this wedding . hilary : yeah ? devon : mm - hmm . hilary : and what do you think you 're gon na get by that ? devon : well , i 'm hoping for a celebration ... hilary : ohh . devon : ... 'cause , really , i mean , we should be celebrating the fact that we 're finally making wedding plans , do n't you think ? hilary : and by `` celebrating , `` you mean ... devon : oh , yeah . i do mean that . absolutely . hilary : okay . well , i 'm sorry , but celebrating -- it 's gon na have to wait . devon : why does it have to wait ? we can book bands after we celebrate , right ? [ knock on door ] hilary : that 's why . lauren : hi ! hilary : hi ! lauren : i 've got some winners here . devon : mm . hello , lauren . lauren : hi ! devon : what is this ? lauren : wedding - dress selections . devon : whoa . hilary : the second that we chose a date , i called lauren to see if she could help me find a dress from fenmore 's . lauren : that 's right , and we need to really make a selection fast , 'cause you have not given me a lot of time for alterations and fittings . devon : hilary will look beautiful no matter what . hilary : see ? and that is why i am marrying him . lauren : mm - hmm . looks like you 're a keeper . devon : looks like i 'm a keeper , yeah . lauren : [ laughs ] devon : so , what do you have to show us ? hilary : well , lauren is n't showing us anything -- just me . devon : so , i do n't get a vote ? lauren : no . come on . you know it 's bad luck to see your bride in her dress before the wedding day . devon : but , i mean -- hilary : oh , you know , i love that you 're pretending to be disappointed to not have to watch me try on dresses ... lauren : [ chuckles ] hilary : ... but i 'll see you later , okay ? devon : okay . fine ! that 's fine . how long is this all gon na take ? 'cause we have some celebrating to do . hilary : hours . just go . i will text you when we 're done . devon : the second you 're done . [ smooches ] okay ? lauren : i 'm very happy for you . hilary : you know , i am happy for me , too . lauren : [ laughing ] okay . let 's get to work , all right ? lily : you 're being ridiculous . joe : you 're out of line , cane . cane : you have a hell of a nerve telling me i 'm out of line , joe . colin : let 's grab a drink somewhere else . come on . lily : oh , great . get him drunk while he 's still hung over from last night . [ door opens ] colin : well , devon . cane : unbelievable . colin : clinging to the last vestiges of bachelorhood before you stick your head in the noose , hey ? [ laughs ] devon : you make marriage sound like a bad thing , colin . cane : please do n't mislead him . colin : i do n't want to rain on his parade . in fact , you know what i think ? i think you need a bachelor party . devon : no . that 's not necessary . colin : oh , i think it 's very necessary , and with this wedding approaching , probably it should be tonight . devon : are you sure that you want to ? cane : i am sorry i went off on you before . i should n't have blamed you for your sister 's behavior . let 's -- let 's go and do this and i 'll make it up to you . devon : well , since i 've been banished by hilary anyway , i guess -- colin : that 's the spirit . come on . let 's party hearty . joe : you all right ? lily : yeah . i 'm fine . [ sighs ] cane is just an idiot . he 's being stupid and jealous . joe : yeah . he 's way off base . lily : i 'm just tired of telling him that what happened with us was a one - time mistake , that there 's nothing between us . joe : absolutely nothing . and there will still be absolutely nothing , even if you agree to have dinner with me . lily : [ sighs ] why not ? michael : hey . i did n't expect to see you here tonight . kevin : uh , i just thought i would finish up some work before tomorrow . michael : oh . how uncharacteristically industrious of you . mariah : and i am keeping him company . michael : great . all right . do n't work too hard . harding : your brother might actually buy that line , but i do n't . you 're not here to work . kevin : you 're right ! i 'm not . harding : so , what kind of scam you getting into tonight , fish ? mariah : we need to speak to paul . harding : you have n't heard . he 's in the hospital . kevin : what ? harding : heart attack . mariah : is he okay ? harding : fortunately , it was minor . he 's bouncing back . but , in the meantime , while he 's recovering , i 'm in charge , so whatever you were gon na say to paul , you can say to me . kevin : well ... mariah : we know who killed austin and courtney . harding : oh , g - god . again with this ? the -- it 's over , guys . the case is closed . kevin : look , we know the identity of the killer . you have to look in to this . harding : you and the scooby gang have sent us on the trail of the wrong person more than once already . mariah : yeah , but this time it 's different . everything fits . kevin : yeah , you know , and you 're always saying , `` you 're not a cop . leave the police business to the police . `` well , now i 'm forced to agree . harding : why forced to ? kevin : because the killer may be ready to take another victim . noah : i know you 're concerned about marco still being alive . marisa : are n't you ? what if mariah 's right ? i could be bringing him right to your door . noah : why would he risk coming back here ? hmm ? i mean , if i were a wanted man , i would use this opportunity to make everybody think that i 'm dead . marisa : a wanted man ? you 're not a criminal . you 're far too good and kind to be able to think like marco . noah : you 're good ... and kind . marisa : and stupid . noah : marisa ... marisa : no . i ... noah : ... look , um ... marisa : i should have left town . noah : ... you said that things were over between you and marco . marisa : noah ... noah : were you lying about that ? marisa : there 's more to the story than what i 've told you . nikki : neil , i know far too well what can happen when you look in the wrong places for the answers to your questions . neil : that 's not what i 'm doing . nikki : or thinking that you can handle something all on your own or with the help of a bottle . neil : i 'm not drinking . you know that . nikki : no , i know that . i 'm just saying maybe you should talk to your sponsor anyway or a therapist . neil : come on . no . i 'm just having a bad night . you know , hearing devon and hilary -- that they 're gon na join hands in holy matrimony -- it set me back a bit . that 's all . nikki : well , i would say more than a little bit . neil : i am not gon na let it get to me anymore . nikki : neil , you ca n't just decide that and it happens magically . you need help with it . neil : please , please , please . i 'm gon na be all right . nikki : i still think it would n't hurt for you to talk to somebody . neil : i am talking to somebody . hilary : i 'm so sorry to put you through all this trouble , lauren . lauren : oh , are you kidding ? i love making women look their very best . it is no trouble at all . hilary : it 's just none of the dresses that i 've seen are ... just right . lauren : oh . okay . what 's missing ? hilary : i wish i could be more clear about what i was looking for . i just -- lauren : all right . just stop worrying . you 'll know it when you see it . and there is nothing wrong with wanting everything to be perfect . the moment you marry the love of your life should be magical . lauren : `` my darling lauren , right now you 're in the midst of some secret female ritual , preparing to become my bride . just remember that that 's totally unnecessary . i 'm not marrying your hair or your makeup or your dress . i 'm marrying you . what we have will only grow stronger with time . `` lauren : oh , you know , i , uh ... i think this is the dress . what do you think ? hilary : i ca n't do this . harding : so , the ex - girlfriend has reason to believe that marco annicelli was in genoa city when the cabin murders occurred ? kevin : that 's right . and i do n't think it was a mistake that the dna on the envelope that the killer sent turned out to be marco 's . harding : well , at the time , it seemed a little unlikely that a south american crime lord would take out two midwestern kids . mariah : all we know is that they showed up here right after the cabin murders , and that can not be a coincidence ! harding : well , it 's still a little out there . i mean , what 's -- what 's the motive ? kevin : well , this marco guy apparently traveled under the radar for years , keeping his identity a secret . harding : yeah ? and ? kevin : maybe austin caught something on video . mariah : and then courtney figured it out . harding : and maybe i should have a talk with this marisa . marisa : i told you marco and i argued before the car went into the lake . it was n't an accident . noah : what are you saying -- marco intentionally drove the car into the lake ? marisa : i 'm the one who made it happen , noah . i grabbed the wheel . we struggled for control . that 's what forced us off the road . noah : what did he do to you ? why -- why would you grab the wheel ? marisa : the things he said ... to kill me . noah : what did he say ? marisa : marco had made a new life that did n't include me . he was concerned that i knew too many of his secrets . noah : [ sighs ] right . so , if marco did survive the crash ... marisa : noah , if he wanted me dead before -- noah : no , i hear what you 're saying . does n't strike me as the most forgiving type . marisa : so , you understand that i have to -- noah : no . no . running is not the answer , okay ? look , the guy could track you down anywhere you 're gon na go . marisa : what else can i do ? noah : [ sighs ] let me help you . marisa : how ? noah : [ sighs ] i - i will find a way to protect you until we find out if marco is either dead or in jail , okay ? my family has resources . marisa : i ca n't ask you . you 've done too much . noah : i 'm offering . i 'm offering . after the life that you 've had to lead , you deserve to stay put , to set some roots , have some friends , to have a home , where you do n't have to keep on running from one place to the next ... if that 's what you want . hilary : that dress -- it looks identical to the one that i wore when i married neil . lauren : oh . i 'm so sorry . hilary : you know , i keep telling devon that it feels like the first time that i 'm getting married , but -- lauren : but you keep getting reminded about your marriage to neil . hilary : it feels like a curse . and i hurt him so badly , lauren . lauren : i believe that everybody deserves to be happy . and while we 're pursuing that , sometimes we hurt other people along the way . hilary : like you and michael ? lauren : i had an affair , and it devastated michael . and i did n't think that i deserved to be happy , either . hilary : what changed ? lauren : i think maybe i have ... you know ? i do n't believe in curses , and i know that marriages fall apart for all kinds of different reasons . i mean , mine survived infidelity , and then ... hilary : you and michael fell out of love anyway . lauren : no . he loved me too much . he tried to protect me from him , and ... all i wanted was him . you know , it 's taken me a long time to accept that and understand that . hilary : do you think that you and michael will reconcile ? lauren : you know , we 're not talking about me here . [ chuckles ] hilary : can we talk about cane and lily ? what is happening with all of these great marriages ? because they -- they seemed like the perfect couple . lauren : yeah . they 're really having a rough time right now . hilary : do you think they 're gon na get back together ? lauren : that remains to be seen , you know ? it 's not really what happened in the past . it 's now that counts and whether they want to be together and how much work they 're willing to do . but , you know , instead of worrying about your past haunting you , concentrate on now . concentrate on marrying your love and -- and the dress . can we concentrate on the dress ? [ chuckles ] hilary : yes . i needed this pep talk . thank you . lauren : of course . hilary : just i want this wedding to just have no worries and no problems , and ... i just want a strong , long marriage . michael : i got here as fast as i could . colin , you said you needed a lawyer . colin : yeah . well , if i said i was running a bachelor party , would you have come ? michael : probably not . the last one i attended did n't end so well . colin : no , nothing like that 's gon na happen here . michael : [ groans ] seems pretty tame . devon , cane . cane : well , we 're just getting started , are n't we ? devon : i 'm done playing poker . i just lost a bunch of money to colin . colin : wait ! come on ! i won that fair and square . cane : that 's the first honest money you 've ever made , then , is n't it , dad ? colin : uh , look , i -- grab a drink , mike . i 've got to go downstairs and arrange a few things . uh , um ... [ cell phone rings ] devon : excuse me . colin : ... be right back . devon : it 's business i 've got . excuse me . michael : all right . [ door closes ] michael : so , how 's it going ? cane : um ... i suppose as good as it can be going . michael : you 're still thinking about a divorce ? cane : well , is there any other option ? michael : that 's unfortunate . i feel bad about my part in it . i was a fool . cane : yes , you were a fool . so , how 's things with lauren ? michael : i 'm still holding out hope that she 'll forgive me , but i know how hard that can be . cane : why , because she , um ... michael : yes . she had an affair . cane : right . and were you really able to forgive her for that ? michael : marriage is an ongoing process . cane : but she cheated on you . michael : we lost our way . we both did . it was n't easy finding our way back to each other . but ... we cared enough about each other and our marriage and our child to try . so , maybe you could forgive lily this one - time indiscretion -- one - time . joe : you know , i 'm willing to bet that you were little miss goody two shoes growing up . lily : [ chuckles ] well , you would lose that bet . joe : oh , really ? lily : mm - hmm . one time i got in trouble for painting graffiti . joe : oh , wow . living on the edge . lily : yeah . it was in italy . joe : ooh . an international wild child . impressive . i 've got a lot to learn about you . lily : [ chuckling ] yeah . maybe this was ... a mistake . joe : well , maybe it 's just what you needed . lily : just what i needed ? what do you mean by that ? joe : you know , nice dinner , some laughs . what 's wrong with that ? lily : sorry . i 'm [ sighs ] i 'm overreacting . i could use a friend right now . joe : yeah , a friend who understood what that night was and what it was n't . lily : i just wish cane could understand . joe : yeah . i do n't like the way he 's treating you right now . lily : well , i mean , what avery did to you is a lot worse , and you somehow managed to get past that . joe : yeah . well , that 's because i knew that there was n't much of a future with avery . lily : yeah . cane keeps saying that there 's no future for us , and , obviously , his behavior backs that up . he wants custody of the kids . joe : and despite all that , you 're ... holding out that there 's still a future with him . cane : but the problem for me is my wife being with another man one time is one time too many , and i do n't think , considering the state of your marriage , that you can really give me any advice . michael : no . no . i have no right , but you did ask . devon : colin 's not back yet , guys ? colin : okay , gentlemen . there 's a fourth on the way . now i think the party can begin . [ chuckles ] devon : hi . please do n't take this the wrong way , but i 'm engaged . michael : i am similarly disinclined , colin . colin : c - come on . i mean , what is , after all , good for the goose is good for the gander , hmm ? whoo - hoo ! [ chuckles ] cane : [ sighs ] this is n't what i want , okay ? colin : yeah , but it 's what you need , boy . cane : what i need -- i need to leave . that 's what i need to do . michael : well , he did n't seem too steady . i 'm gon na make sure he gets home okay . colin , thanks for the invitation . great party . ladies . colin : okay . and then there were two . you 'd better tell your friend she 's not required . devon : uh , well , i guess the party 's over . and let all of this delicious champagne go to waste ? colin : i like her . the lady 's absolutely correct . how about we , uh -- we raise a toast to ... devon ? india : devon 's a nice name . devon : thank you . india : mine 's india , like the country . devon : oh , yeah ? india : are you interested in exploring india ? devon : [ chuckles nervously ] india : oh . devon : thanks . [ knock on door ] hilary : it 's open , lauren ! i hope that you found the perfect dress for the perfect day , because -- [ sighs ] i am so sorry for panicking earlier . i just think -- devon : hey . i , uh , am feeling a little bit light - headed . i need to sit down for a second . india : oh .

[ chuckles ] i think that you are right , lauren -- there is no such thing as curses . i can finally breathe easier and believe that i am gon na have the wedding of my dreams . nikki : hey ! hey ! neil : hey . nikki : i thought you had gone . neil : actually , i went to see hilary . do n't worry . i only wanted to tell her that i 'm ready for closure . you 're right , nikki . i got to take care of myself so i can move on . nikki : i am very glad to hear that . neil : thanks . [ cell phone chimes ] india : come with me .

the park where hilary and i got married , where she professed her undying love to me . that 's right . nikki : you are kidding . neil : no . nikki : that just churned everything up . neil : the thought of them riding off into the sunset together -- it gets to me . it makes me want to take away any happiness that they 're ever gon na have in their lives . nikki : i understand that . i just want to make sure that they are fantasies . i mean , please tell me that you 're not gon na act on this . michael : oh . hello . lauren : are you here seeing a client ? michael : and other lawyerly stuff . you ? lauren : oh , i just came back from the hospital . michael : oh . you saw paul ? lauren : yeah . he 's actually doing pretty well . he 's ordering around everybody and insisting on getting released . michael : that sounds about right . lauren : [ chuckles ] michael : what are you doing here ? lauren : here ? i just dropped off something for chris . michael : she 's still refusing to leave paul 's side ? lauren : and he 's still insisting that she go home to rest . michael : but she wo n't . lauren : no . that 's what a good wife does . she sticks by her husband , no matter how hard he tries to push her away . michael : and a good husband ... should appreciate his wife 's support and not try to push her away . lauren ... lauren : i have an appointment . harding : you should look happier . michael : why is that , detective ? harding : because the charges against your client victor newman are being dropped now that jack abbott has supported his claim of self - defense . michael : as they should be . harding : maybe you 're just upset you 're not getting that hefty fee now that things are getting settled without a trial . michael : the case may be closed , detective , but nothing 's settled . harding : what does that mean ? michael : whatever caused jack and victor 's showdown in the park did n't just go away . mariah : anything ? noah : [ sighs ] not yet . kevin : give it up , noah . mariah and i found the crashed car exactly where marisa said it would be , and there was no sign of marco . noah : there are no reports of a body being discovered anywhere near lake delaney . marisa : that 's impossible . surely his body has to turn up . kevin : hopefully before one of us turns up as a corpse . noah : kevin ... mariah : so far , no body . your ex - boyfriend , the dangerous drug lord , who you insisted was dead , the man who very possibly killed austin and courtney , may still be alive . noah : mariah , come on . do n't . mariah : what ? do n't -- do n't what , noah ? do n't be terrified ? because i am . for all we know , she could have led this killer straight to our doorstep . kevin : did you actually see marco 's body in the car in the water ? marisa : i was too busy trying to save my own life . mariah : then how exactly can you be sure he 's dead ? marisa : after i made it to the shore , i stayed by the lake long enough to catch my breath . if marco got out of the water , i would have seen him . mariah : and if his body was still in the lake , we would have seen him . kevin : he could have gotten to the shore before you did . we 've got to go to the cops with this . marisa : no . mariah : yes . it was bad enough that you wanted us to keep our mouths shut about marco being your ex when you thought he was dead . marisa : but his associates -- mariah : yes , yes , we know . his associates -- they 're gon na find you . they 're gon na track you down and get revenge . blah , blah , blah . noah : this is n't a joke , mariah . mariah : you 're damn right it 's not a joke . marco himself could track her down , and us along with her . noah : not if marco does n't know marisa is here . kevin : this is the last place he saw her . it 's gon na be the first logical place he comes back to . noah : so , why has n't he shown up yet , then , huh ? mariah : maybe he 's injured . noah : or running . if marco survived the crash , he probably just took off . would n't you ? mariah : or maybe he 's waiting for a chance to kill us , like he did with our friends . noah : i 'm not gon na let you sell her out , okay ? not gon na happen . marisa : noah , your sister is just concerned . noah : yeah , and so am i -- about you . kevin : all right . everybody , just let 's cool it , all right ? everybody take a minute . we need to think about this . noah : yeah . yeah . i 'm all for that . kevin : we 're gon na go for a walk . noah : yeah , you guys do that . make it a long , thoughtful walk . mariah : [ scoffs ] i 'm sorry . wh - where do you get off telling me to take a walk ? i do n't need to take a walk . that 's the last thing that i need to do right now . kevin : we 're taking a walk ... right to the police station . let 's go . neil : these fantasies that i 've been having about exacting payback , right -- it 's just my way of -- of processing . nikki : it 's not healthy for you , neil . you 've got to figure out another way to deal with this . you have to think more positive . i do n't know . maybe you could get involved with a charity or ... neil : or -- or -- or maybe i could get involved with some more exercise or maybe some meditation or how 'bout some yoga ? nikki : any of the above would be better than you dwelling on revenge . neil : okay . i 'll work on it . nikki : okay . you 're gon na have to , because , like it or not , they are going to be husband and wife very soon , and there is nothing you can do about it . devon : now , i promise that i 'm going to throw myself 100 % into this wedding . hilary : yeah ? devon : mm - hmm . hilary : and what do you think you 're gon na get by that ? devon : well , i 'm hoping for a celebration ... hilary : ohh . devon : ... 'cause , really , i mean , we should be celebrating the fact that we 're finally making wedding plans , do n't you think ? hilary : and by `` celebrating , `` you mean ... devon : oh , yeah . i do mean that . absolutely . hilary : okay . well , i 'm sorry , but celebrating -- it 's gon na have to wait . devon : why does it have to wait ? we can book bands after we celebrate , right ? [ knock on door ] hilary : that 's why . lauren : hi ! hilary : hi ! lauren : i 've got some winners here . devon : mm . hello , lauren . lauren : hi ! devon : what is this ? lauren : wedding - dress selections . devon : whoa . hilary : the second that we chose a date , i called lauren to see if she could help me find a dress from fenmore 's . lauren : that 's right , and we need to really make a selection fast , 'cause you have not given me a lot of time for alterations and fittings . devon : hilary will look beautiful no matter what . hilary : see ? and that is why i am marrying him . lauren : mm - hmm . looks like you 're a keeper . devon : looks like i 'm a keeper , yeah . lauren : [ laughs ] devon : so , what do you have to show us ? hilary : well , lauren is n't showing us anything -- just me . devon : so , i do n't get a vote ? lauren : no . come on . you know it 's bad luck to see your bride in her dress before the wedding day . devon : but , i mean -- hilary : oh , you know , i love that you 're pretending to be disappointed to not have to watch me try on dresses ... lauren : [ chuckles ] hilary : ... but i 'll see you later , okay ? devon : okay . fine ! that 's fine . how long is this all gon na take ? 'cause we have some celebrating to do . hilary : hours . just go . i will text you when we 're done . devon : the second you 're done . [ smooches ] okay ? lauren : i 'm very happy for you . hilary : you know , i am happy for me , too . lauren : [ laughing ] okay . let 's get to work , all right ? lily : you 're being ridiculous . joe : you 're out of line , cane . cane : you have a hell of a nerve telling me i 'm out of line , joe . colin : let 's grab a drink somewhere else . come on . lily : oh , great . get him drunk while he 's still hung over from last night . [ door opens ] colin : well , devon . cane : unbelievable . colin : clinging to the last vestiges of bachelorhood before you stick your head in the noose , hey ? [ laughs ] devon : you make marriage sound like a bad thing , colin . cane : please do n't mislead him . colin : i do n't want to rain on his parade . in fact , you know what i think ? i think you need a bachelor party . devon : no . that 's not necessary . colin : oh , i think it 's very necessary , and with this wedding approaching , probably it should be tonight . devon : are you sure that you want to ? cane : i am sorry i went off on you before . i should n't have blamed you for your sister 's behavior . let 's -- let 's go and do this and i 'll make it up to you . devon : well , since i 've been banished by hilary anyway , i guess -- colin : that 's the spirit . come on . let 's party hearty . joe : you all right ? lily : yeah . i 'm fine . [ sighs ] cane is just an idiot . he 's being stupid and jealous . joe : yeah . he 's way off base . lily : i 'm just tired of telling him that what happened with us was a one - time mistake , that there 's nothing between us . joe : absolutely nothing . and there will still be absolutely nothing , even if you agree to have dinner with me . lily : [ sighs ] why not ? michael : hey . i did n't expect to see you here tonight . kevin : uh , i just thought i would finish up some work before tomorrow . michael : oh . how uncharacteristically industrious of you . mariah : and i am keeping him company . michael : great . all right . do n't work too hard . harding : your brother might actually buy that line , but i do n't . you 're not here to work . kevin : you 're right ! i 'm not . harding : so , what kind of scam you getting into tonight , fish ? mariah : we need to speak to paul . harding : you have n't heard . he 's in the hospital . kevin : what ? harding : heart attack . mariah : is he okay ? harding : fortunately , it was minor . he 's bouncing back . but , in the meantime , while he 's recovering , i 'm in charge , so whatever you were gon na say to paul , you can say to me . kevin : well ... mariah : we know who killed austin and courtney . harding : oh , g - god . again with this ? the -- it 's over , guys . the case is closed . kevin : look , we know the identity of the killer . you have to look in to this . harding : you and the scooby gang have sent us on the trail of the wrong person more than once already . mariah : yeah , but this time it 's different . everything fits . kevin : yeah , you know , and you 're always saying , `` you 're not a cop . leave the police business to the police . `` well , now i 'm forced to agree . harding : why forced to ? kevin : because the killer may be ready to take another victim . noah : i know you 're concerned about marco still being alive . marisa : are n't you ? what if mariah 's right ? i could be bringing him right to your door . noah : why would he risk coming back here ? hmm ? i mean , if i were a wanted man , i would use this opportunity to make everybody think that i 'm dead . marisa : a wanted man ? you 're not a criminal . you 're far too good and kind to be able to think like marco . noah : you 're good ... and kind . marisa : and stupid . noah : marisa ... marisa : no . i ... noah : ... look , um ... marisa : i should have left town . noah : ... you said that things were over between you and marco . marisa : noah ... noah : were you lying about that ? marisa : there 's more to the story than what i 've told you . nikki : neil , i know far too well what can happen when you look in the wrong places for the answers to your questions . neil : that 's not what i 'm doing . nikki : or thinking that you can handle something all on your own or with the help of a bottle . neil : i 'm not drinking . you know that . nikki : no , i know that . i 'm just saying maybe you should talk to your sponsor anyway or a therapist . neil : come on . no . i 'm just having a bad night . you know , hearing devon and hilary -- that they 're gon na join hands in holy matrimony -- it set me back a bit . that 's all . nikki : well , i would say more than a little bit . neil : i am not gon na let it get to me anymore . nikki : neil , you ca n't just decide that and it happens magically . you need help with it . neil : please , please , please . i 'm gon na be all right . nikki : i still think it would n't hurt for you to talk to somebody . neil : i am talking to somebody . hilary : i 'm so sorry to put you through all this trouble , lauren . lauren : oh , are you kidding ? i love making women look their very best . it is no trouble at all . hilary : it 's just none of the dresses that i 've seen are ... just right . lauren : oh . okay . what 's missing ? hilary : i wish i could be more clear about what i was looking for . i just -- lauren : all right . just stop worrying . you 'll know it when you see it . and there is nothing wrong with wanting everything to be perfect . the moment you marry the love of your life should be magical . lauren : `` my darling lauren , right now you 're in the midst of some secret female ritual , preparing to become my bride . just remember that that 's totally unnecessary . i 'm not marrying your hair or your makeup or your dress . i 'm marrying you . what we have will only grow stronger with time . `` lauren : oh , you know , i , uh ... i think this is the dress . what do you think ? hilary : i ca n't do this . harding : so , the ex - girlfriend has reason to believe that marco annicelli was in genoa city when the cabin murders occurred ? kevin : that 's right . and i do n't think it was a mistake that the dna on the envelope that the killer sent turned out to be marco 's . harding : well , at the time , it seemed a little unlikely that a south american crime lord would take out two midwestern kids . mariah : all we know is that they showed up here right after the cabin murders , and that can not be a coincidence ! harding : well , it 's still a little out there . i mean , what 's -- what 's the motive ? kevin : well , this marco guy apparently traveled under the radar for years , keeping his identity a secret . harding : yeah ? and ? kevin : maybe austin caught something on video . mariah : and then courtney figured it out . harding : and maybe i should have a talk with this marisa . marisa : i told you marco and i argued before the car went into the lake . it was n't an accident . noah : what are you saying -- marco intentionally drove the car into the lake ? marisa : i 'm the one who made it happen , noah . i grabbed the wheel . we struggled for control . that 's what forced us off the road . noah : what did he do to you ? why -- why would you grab the wheel ? marisa : the things he said ... to kill me . noah : what did he say ? marisa : marco had made a new life that did n't include me . he was concerned that i knew too many of his secrets . noah : [ sighs ] right . so , if marco did survive the crash ... marisa : noah , if he wanted me dead before -- noah : no , i hear what you 're saying . does n't strike me as the most forgiving type . marisa : so , you understand that i have to -- noah : no . no . running is not the answer , okay ? look , the guy could track you down anywhere you 're gon na go . marisa : what else can i do ? noah : [ sighs ] let me help you . marisa : how ? noah : [ sighs ] i - i will find a way to protect you until we find out if marco is either dead or in jail , okay ? my family has resources . marisa : i ca n't ask you . you 've done too much . noah : i 'm offering . i 'm offering . after the life that you 've had to lead , you deserve to stay put , to set some roots , have some friends , to have a home , where you do n't have to keep on running from one place to the next ... if that 's what you want . hilary : that dress -- it looks identical to the one that i wore when i married neil . lauren : oh . i 'm so sorry . hilary : you know , i keep telling devon that it feels like the first time that i 'm getting married , but -- lauren : but you keep getting reminded about your marriage to neil . hilary : it feels like a curse . and i hurt him so badly , lauren . lauren : i believe that everybody deserves to be happy . and while we 're pursuing that , sometimes we hurt other people along the way . hilary : like you and michael ? lauren : i had an affair , and it devastated michael . and i did n't think that i deserved to be happy , either . hilary : what changed ? lauren : i think maybe i have ... you know ? i do n't believe in curses , and i know that marriages fall apart for all kinds of different reasons . i mean , mine survived infidelity , and then ... hilary : you and michael fell out of love anyway . lauren : no . he loved me too much . he tried to protect me from him , and ... all i wanted was him . you know , it 's taken me a long time to accept that and understand that . hilary : do you think that you and michael will reconcile ? lauren : you know , we 're not talking about me here . [ chuckles ] hilary : can we talk about cane and lily ? what is happening with all of these great marriages ? because they -- they seemed like the perfect couple . lauren : yeah . they 're really having a rough time right now . hilary : do you think they 're gon na get back together ? lauren : that remains to be seen , you know ? it 's not really what happened in the past . it 's now that counts and whether they want to be together and how much work they 're willing to do . but , you know , instead of worrying about your past haunting you , concentrate on now . concentrate on marrying your love and -- and the dress . can we concentrate on the dress ?

[ scene_break ] kiki : i do n't know what aj was doing at my mom 's place . she was n't even in town . she was in new york on business . although ... michael : `` although `` what ? kiki : she did say that aj was trying to get a job with her brother , my uncle julian . michael : why would aj want to work for julian jerome ? kiki : think maybe they wanted to team up against sonny ? michael : no , he would n't do that . he felt bad enough about what happened to connie . even if your mother told my dad -- told sonny -- otherwise . [ scene_break ] sonny : i 'm not here to cause any trouble for you . monica : oh , but that is what you do , sonny . that 's what you 've always done is cause trouble for my family ever since you came into town . it was n't enough that you stole my son and turned him into a killer . no , you could n't stop there . you had to destroy my other son . you and carly made it your mission to make my son 's life miserable . sure , he made mistakes , and you exploited every single one of those , any chance you got . he was n't a gangster , sonny . he was n't out to get you . all he wanted was to be a part of his son 's life , but you would have none of that . and if i did n't know better , i 'd think you were the one that shot aj .

[ scene_break ] ava : are you implying that i had something to do with what happened to nina ? might i remind you that i also have an alibi for nakamura 's death ? silas : oh , right . your gallery 's vouched for you -- the girls on your payroll . ava : [ scoffs ] excuse me , gentlemen . i 'm going to see our daughter . silas : here 's what i 'm gon na do for you , detective -- i 'm gon na buy you a nice , big sandwich if you take a long , long look at ava jerome and her alibi . nathan : ava 's alibi checks out . it 's as airtight as yours , which means that one of you , if not both , could be lying . silas : man , are you so determined to lock me up that you 've lost the ability to evaluate the facts ? do you not want to follow the evidence , because you do n't like where it 's leading you ? nathan : not a reassuring quality in a detective . silas : no , it is n't . and why 'd that come up ? nathan : something my boss said to me when she hired me -- wanted me to keep an open mind . silas : you think maybe that 's what you 're doing ? nathan : okay , doctor , for argument 's sake , let 's say that i 'm willing to consider other possibilities . silas : how big of you . nathan : you are my prime suspect because that 's where the evidence pointed . now , if you did n't kill nakamura and his death is connected to nina 's , then it 's possible that you did n't have anything to do with what happened to your wife . silas : that 's what i 've been telling you all along . someone 's been setting me up . [ scene_break ] kiki : aj was furious with connie , was n't he ? that was one of the reasons why the cops arrested him -- because he had been so publicly angry with her for printing that article in the paper . michael : all i know is that aj has been a wreck ever since she died . he can hardly get through a day . kiki : i 'm not saying that he is n't remorseful , michael , but he ... he has been drinking . maybe he was sounding off . michael : [ sighs ] kiki : i do n't know . i 'm just going by what my mom told me . michael : your mom ? your mom has n't lied to you before ? kiki : why would she lie about this ? michael : i do n't know . she 's sleeping with my little brother , your ex - husband . why would she do that ? kiki : okay . michael : why would she do anything that she does ? kiki : let 's not . we both have a lot of baggage . let 's not unpack that now . you know i 'm on your side , right ? michael : thank you . thank you . i 'm , uh -- i think i 'm just gon na -- i got to get out of here , you know ? i 'm just gon na go for a walk or something . kiki : okay . you want me to go with you ? michael : uh ... no . i just -- i think i need to be alone for a little bit . kiki : okay . michael : all right .

'cause i read your letter , and i know the reasons why you did what you did , and i do n't care . they were selfish . they were delusional . they were -- they were evil . and , yeah , you 're not sick . you 're not a sociopath . i do get it , britt . i get why you did it . and that makes what you 've done so much more terrifying , and i promise you that i am gon na make sure that you pay for what you 've done to me !

[ scene_break ] kiki : i do n't know what aj was doing at my mom 's place . she was n't even in town . she was in new york on business . although ... michael : `` although `` what ? kiki : she did say that aj was trying to get a job with her brother , my uncle julian . michael : why would aj want to work for julian jerome ? kiki : think maybe they wanted to team up against sonny ? michael : no , he would n't do that . he felt bad enough about what happened to connie . even if your mother told my dad -- told sonny -- otherwise . [ scene_break ] sonny : i 'm not here to cause any trouble for you . monica : oh , but that is what you do , sonny . that 's what you 've always done is cause trouble for my family ever since you came into town . it was n't enough that you stole my son and turned him into a killer . no , you could n't stop there . you had to destroy my other son . you and carly made it your mission to make my son 's life miserable . sure , he made mistakes , and you exploited every single one of those , any chance you got . he was n't a gangster , sonny . he was n't out to get you . all he wanted was to be a part of his son 's life , but you would have none of that . and if i did n't know better , i 'd think you were the one that shot aj .

[ scene_break ] kiki : aj was furious with connie , was n't he ? that was one of the reasons why the cops arrested him -- because he had been so publicly angry with her for printing that article in the paper . michael : all i know is that aj has been a wreck ever since she died . he can hardly get through a day . kiki : i 'm not saying that he is n't remorseful , michael , but he ... he has been drinking . maybe he was sounding off . michael : [ sighs ] kiki : i do n't know . i 'm just going by what my mom told me . michael : your mom ? your mom has n't lied to you before ? kiki : why would she lie about this ? michael : i do n't know . she 's sleeping with my little brother , your ex - husband . why would she do that ? kiki : okay . michael : why would she do anything that she does ? kiki : let 's not . we both have a lot of baggage . let 's not unpack that now . you know i 'm on your side , right ? michael : thank you . thank you . i 'm , uh -- i think i 'm just gon na -- i got to get out of here , you know ? i 'm just gon na go for a walk or something . kiki : okay . you want me to go with you ? michael : uh ... no . i just -- i think i need to be alone for a little bit . kiki : okay . michael : all right .

'cause i read your letter , and i know the reasons why you did what you did , and i do n't care . they were selfish . they were delusional . they were -- they were evil . and , yeah , you 're not sick . you 're not a sociopath . i do get it , britt . i get why you did it . and that makes what you 've done so much more terrifying , and i promise you that i am gon na make sure that you pay for what you 've done to me !

's office -- someone -- to release a statement clearing nick 's name , saying that he 's not in any legal trouble , and neither is his company . rey : i 'm not authorized to make a statement like that . abby : but you were authorized to arrest nick ? rey : look , as much as i like the guy personally , when it comes to the law , the newmans are like everybody else . i ca n't give you or your brother any special treatment . abby : do you always time your arrests to make the maximum public spectacle ? rey : no , the timing was a coincidence . i did n't have any say when the warrant went down . abby : excuse me ? how gullible do you think that i am ? you could have arrested nick later in the evening at his house . you could have pulled him aside and made arrangements for him to turn himself in , but , no , you decided to arrest him and embarrass him at the most important event of his entire life . i hope you 're happy . rey : okay . some things you should know about me . i take no pleasure in other people 's pain . and i can be single - minded when it comes to my work . abby : [ scoffs ] rey : but i see now that i could have handled things better . abby : you think ? rey : if i had to do it again , maybe i 'd do it differently . abby : nick has a lot of people working for him , including arturo . in case you did n't know , he 's our full - time construction chief . there 's a lot of people counting on nick to make this company a success , and things like that article -- it does n't help . rey : all right , i 'll tell you what , i will contact our communications office and see if they will issue that statement you wanted released . abby : thank you . rey : you 're welcome . but what i 'm not gon na do is lay off investigating j.t . abby : of course . i hope not . i hope that you guys find him and punish him . we all do . rey : good . and i 'm glad you 're so protective of your family . something we have in common . nick : tell them i 'll give them my answer first thing in the morning . hey . all right . let 's hear it . what is going on with you ? summer : how would feel if your own father was treating you like the enemy ? nick : mm , like it 's a wednesday ? summer : this is n't funny , dad . nick : sorry , it 's too easy . summer : i mean , can i still count on you ? do you still love me unconditionally , or have i burned those bridges with you , too ? nick : summer , you know the answer to both of those questions . summer : you 've been so disappointed with me lately . nick : come on . you know i love you , and i 'll always be here for you . does n't mean i always like your behavior , though . summer : yeah , i get it . nick : so , spill it . who in your life is on the other side of this burned bridge ? summer : just so we 're clear , i 'm the one that lit the match . i ... took someone for granted repeatedly , and now he 's cut me off , and i ca n't even blame him . and ... you know , i do n't really have a lot of friends to begin with , so i ca n't just be throwing him away like that . nick : [ sighs ] have you apologized ? summer : no , it 's too late for that . nick : well , maybe it 's worth a shot , you know ? sounds like this friend of yours really hung in there with you for a long time . maybe hearing those words from you is exactly what he 's waiting to hear himself . summer : yeah . i mean , who know , maybe there 's still a chance to salvage things . nick : what 's the worst that can happen ? you find out that it 's true and that there is n't ? if that 's the case , then you get some closure , and then you can move on . jack : sorry , it sounds like i 'm interrupting . summer : no , no , no , no . sorry , no , i 'm actually just leaving . thank you for the advice , dad . nick : summer . good luck . summer : thanks . jack : everything okay ? nick : yeah . she heard about my arrest . i assume you have some questions , as well . jack : a few . nick : well , let 's just get it out of the way , then . it was me who hacked newman enterprises , and i did it by impersonating j.t . kyle : shane ! glad you picked up .

[ cellphone rings ] and somebody 's ears are burning . victoria : i 'm fine . no , take it . billy : hey , ash , what 's going on ? ashley : what the hell were you thinking ? billy : i have no idea what you 're talking about . ashley : i just heard that you sent a termination notice to type a consulting , basically cutting off the funding for my r & d project . billy : it 's only temporary . ashley : lies , billy , and i 'm so sick of it . all you do is lie to me . you tell me that you respect me , it 's just a bunch of words to you . you did n't mean any of them . billy : i did so , ashley , and i 'm not canceling it . i 'm just putting it on hold until -- ashley : save your breath . i should have known better than to give you the benefit of the doubt . billy : like i said , ashley and i are getting along just great . ashley : well , billy has been officially put on notice that i will never believe another word out of his mouth . mm . ashley : as for your services , it looks like i 'll be paying them myself , from my personal account . summer : hey , no , i want to finish our conversation . kyle : i don't . summer : please . okay , what do you mean , that i do n't understand you ? kyle : you know what your problem is ? you only see what you want to see . that 's the opposite of having self - insight . you wanted to compete with your mother , so you were convinced billy was crazy for you . now you want comfort . so you think i 'm warm and fuzzy and safe , your bff . that 's not who i am . summer : well -- kyle : and another thing -- hard though this might be for you to hear , my world does n't revolve around you , summer . i have goals i want to accomplish in life , and i 'm going for it . i 'm probably going to push too hard , cross some lines , go too far . summer : well , that sounds like me . kyle : yeah , now you 're getting it . that 's what i thought we 'd be good together . two people with the same drive , the same killer instinct . but at a certain point , i realized we 'd probably just wind up ripping each other to shreds . so better to walk away now and never look back . summer : well , i disagree . kyle : yeah , of course you do . summer : i learned my lesson , kyle . i do n't want to lose you . kyle : people are who they are . they promise to change -- it 's wasted energy . summer : all right , well , if people never change , then that must mean that you still care about me , right ? kyle : i ca n't turn my feelings on and off like a switch , summer . but we both know how this novel ends , so let 's just skip to the last page where we wish each other well and move on with our lives . the end . `` the young and the restless `` will continue . victoria : none of the board members support you , except for your girlfriend . billy : they only installed me as a figurehead . they wanted ashley to run the business from behind the scenes . it was n't until i started making my own decisions ... victoria : oh . the board freaked . well , that 's pretty predictable . billy : you never treated me that way when we worked together . you were patient . you waited till i actually messed up to freak out . i appreciate that . that 's not happening at jabot . and my ideas , they are home runs . victoria : the popcorn machine ? billy : the popcorn machine is to bring talent into the workplace , to hopefully drag jabot into this century . the birthday suit campaign -- that marketing strategy -- home run . if you have n't seen the numbers , you should . they 're great . victoria : well , what about the other numbers ? i mean , there is more than just the line of revenue in the annual report . billy : no , the only issue that people are concerned about is the fact that i have n't called a vote to get rid of the `` blood abbott `` clause and step aside so ashley could become c.e.o . they ca n't possibly look at my achievements . they 've got zero faith in my abilities . victoria : well , maybe it 's not your performance in business but the way that you conduct yourself in your personal life . billy : right , and why would you say that ? victoria : your family and lauren and the rest of the board members -- how much do they know about the gambling ? nick : here you go . jack : oh , thanks . hey , listen , about what i said earlier , i -- i did n't mean to bring up a sensitive subject . i 've been thinking a lot about fathers and sons lately , for obvious reasons , but i know it was pretty painful when you and victor went to confront albert in his nursing home . nick : the man had no remorse whatsoever about abandoning his own family . jack : had to be pretty hard for victor . nick : it was . you know , my dad would have been better off if he had never learned the truth , if he had just kept on believing that that old man was dead . jack : and sharing with albert what an amazing life he 'd built , despite his father 's callous indifference , he did n't find some satisfaction in that ? nick : just the opposite , actually . the truth is , albert got in my dad 's head that day , and i do n't think he ever really left . my dad did n't show up , you know , expecting to find some hero or some amazing human being , but i know he wanted some level of respect for everything that he 's accomplished . i mean , my dad worked his tail off . he earned that . but he did n't get it . and i think that lasting image of the -- the hatred in albert 's eyes ... i think that got seared in my dad 's brain forever . and it fuels him . i mean , how do you fight a ghost ? jack : yeah , that 's a good question . nick : it 's ironic , you know . my dad was so determined to not end up like his father , and here he is , alienated from his own son . jack : such a shame . not the legacy anyone would have hoped for . nick : i spent less than an hour with albert that day . my kids have never met him . but the man 's influence was so toxic , the repercussions have impacted all of our lives for years afterward . if i never hear that man 's name again , it 'll be too soon . lola : i only decided to reach out this morning after you left for work . abby : rey was on the phone when i showed up at the station . was it with you ? lola : could have been . remember , you said i could make my own decision about this . arturo : yeah , it does n't mean i have to like it . abby : how long has it been since you 've talked to rey ? lola : i mean , not since ... we moved to genoa city . arturo : you should have left well enough alone . lola : rey 's a cop , a detective . he could find me if he wanted to . you said that he did . arturo : i think if you were worried about that -- lola : i was n't worried , but if i 'm going to see our brother again , i want it to be on my terms . arturo : good luck with that . see , with rey , it 's either `` my way or the highway . `` abby : you know , i really did n't get that vibe from him . i 'm not saying that you 're wrong . i 'm just saying that , i mean , is it possible that he 's matured since the last time you saw him ? i mean , maybe he misses you guys . maybe he wants to be part of your family again . arturo : abby , i know you mean well , but you do not know him like i do . abby : yeah . that 's because you wo n't tell me anything about what happened between the two of you . arturo : because i feel like i have spent too much of my life speaking to and about rey rosales . did you already make plans to meet up with him ? lola : yes . arturo : fine . i mean , it 's your decision . i think you 'll regret it , but just do me a favor and leave me out of it , okay ? lola : well , here 's the thing . rey : hey . hey . sorry i 'm late . nick : hey , jack , where 's that file from the cincinnati developer ? martin 's his name . jack : uh , sorry . it 's here somewhere . nick : it 's right there . it 's the blue one , coded blue for out - of - state . jack : yeah , sorry . nick : you all right ? jack : you know what , i -- i think you made me actually sympathize with victor . i 'm not sure i have a place for that . i do n't think i ever thought i 'd feel that in my life . nick : yeah , i felt terrible for my dad that day he came face to face with albert . we bonded over it . it did n't last . jack : victor was already too damaged . nick : not letting him off the hook , though , completely . i mean , yeah , my dad got a raw deal . he got an absolute creep for a father , but he keeps perpetuating the cycle into his old age . and at some point , you got to be a man . you got to step up and take responsibility and say , `` maybe i did n't start this pain , but it ends with me . `` that 's what i 'm doing with my family . jack : thanks . you 've given me a lot to think about . arturo : you coming ?

it 's not . before you start , i know how it sounds , okay ? but it 's true . look , not all addiction is the same . some people are addicted to sex . does n't mean abstinence is the only option . right ? you do n't have to be a monk to be sober and clean . and i know that addiction is a disease , but some diseases are manageable , like diabetes . okay , well , at least phyllis understands me . victoria : [ scoffs ] phyllis is scared to death . billy : she would never say that to you . victoria : she does n't have to because i 've been in this position before , i know what it 's like . desperately wanting to know what is driving the person so that maybe can protect your loved one from himself . but you ca n't because someday , something bad is gon na happen . it 's at that point you realize you do n't have any power over that other person 's choices . billy : i 'm really sorry that i came here today . victoria : billy -- billy : no , it 's fine . it 's fine . i 'll just make sure you to write you down on the list with everybody else that 's waiting for me to fail . really great to see you . neil : look who it is . ashley : may i come in ? neil : sure . come on in . ashley : so , i was under the impression earlier -- correct me if i 'm wrong ... neil : mm - hmm . ashley : ... that maybe you needed just a little reassurance about where things stand with us . neil : not my smoothest move . ashley : yeah , well , you know , we all have them . neil : listen , in my defense , i -- i ... got absolutely nothing . really , i -- ashley : really ? nothing ? neil : yeah , i should have known you would n't hide anything . you 've been completely honest with me from the get - go . ashley : mm , i have been , and i 'm not seeing anybody else . i mean , you know , right now . neil : you were doing so well up till the `` right now . `` that 's not the most reassuring phrase , you know that , right ? ashley : okay , so , then is there anything i can do ? i mean , anything at all that might reassure you ? abby : i do n't know why you would n't want to make things better . i just -- i do n't understand . arturo : i just wish you would trust my judgment . it 's not as if i made this decision lightly . nick . is there anything that would make things right between you and victor ? nick : by `` make things right , `` you mean ... ? arturo : all is forgiven and forgotten . nick : not in this lifetime . we have reached the point of no return . rey : i still ca n't get over it . lola : what ? rey : how much you 've grown up . lola : well , that 's what happens when ... time passes . rey : arturo has n't changed . he 's still the stubborn -- lola : look , it 's not his fault . i kind of ambushed him . rey : are you sorry that you agreed to meet up with me ? jack : you all right ? abby : if you 're asking about things with arturo , everything 's fine . just a difference of opinion . jack : those do happen . abby : so , have you thought about what you 're gon na do with that photo ? jack : actually , nick just convinced me that your grandfather was a monster . so i 'm starting to wonder if i might be better off just burying the whole subject . abby : have you thought about bringing it up to my dad ? jack : no way . and i do n't want you speaking to victor about this , either . or anyone else . promise me , abby . ashley : so , are you feeling reassured ? neil : [ chuckles ] very . ashley : good . neil : you know something , though ? ashley : mm , what ? neil : i 'm feeling this like there 's a knot here . ashley : oh ! neil : you seem a little tense . what 's up with that , huh ? ashley : neil . neil : hmm ? ashley : do you ever feel like you just spend your whole life just putting fires out , just one after the other ? neil : only a little bit . ashley : yeah ? neil : mm - hmm . it seems to me that , you know , you could use a break . ashley : is n't that what this is ? neil : no . that 's not what this is . i 'm talking about a real break . i 'm talking about maybe a long weekend somewhere . like new york . ashley : mm . neil : you know , see some plays , let 's get some good food . come on . ashley : mmm , that sounds so tempting . i wish i could . there 's too much going on here . it requires my full attention . | billy visits victoria to return a toy one of the kids left at his house the two talk business for a bit and then billy gets upset when victiria worries that his gambling is getting out of control . billy tells victirua that he should n't have come to talk to her and then stomps off mad . summer asks nick for advice on how to mend things with someone she took forgranted and he tells her to apologize to the person . summer apoogizes to kyle who tells her that he is tired of chasing after something that is never going to happen and since he ca n't just be a friend anymore it is best the they wish each other well and keep their distance . summer is shocked by kyle 's words and is more confused then ever . lola is happy to see rey but when she tries to make peace between rey and arturo arturo just gets angry with her and leaves . ashley gets angry with billy because he cut off funding for her project so she decides to pay andrew the chemist from her own pocket . neil is jealous when he sees andrew and ashley talking but ashley explains everything to neil and later ashley and neil make love at his place . jack decides to stop his search for albert miller after he and nick have a long talk in which he tells jack that anyone woukd be a betterfather then that monster albert miller . billy falls into kyle 's trap when he accepts am invitation to an exclsive high stakes poker game from a famous gambling syndicate . | <s>[INST] [ previously_on ] rey : abby may have second thoughts about you if she knew what you did . arturo : is that a threat ? rey : not if you tell me where lola is . billy : type a consulting . you heard of them ? ashley : why do you ask ? billy : did n't recognize the name . ashley : you slashed my r & d budget , remember ? so i was forced to farm out research to an outside firm . jack : i have to find out his name and whether he had a connection with my mother . what do you want from me now , christian miller ? money ? i 'm no longer christian miller , i 'm victor newman . i 'm the victor newman . i 'm wealthy beyond your wildest dreams and known around the world , and perhaps i should thank you for the cruelty you have done to me ! because , with that , i would not be the man i am now ! mariah : if anybody can identify this man , please go to our website . abby : we got a response from matt miller . ashley : you mean victor 's brother ? kyle : hey , dad . have time for coffee ? jack : you know what , i 'm in a bit of a rush . you have a good day at work . kyle : oh , well , at least tell me if abby 's gotten a name yet for the guy in dina 's phototo . rey : look , it says it right there in black and white . nick was released not long after he was arrested . abby : in the 8th paragraph . i need the genoa city police department or the d.a . 's office -- someone -- to release a statement clearing nick 's name , saying that he 's not in any legal trouble , and neither is his company . rey : i 'm not authorized to make a statement like that . abby : but you were authorized to arrest nick ? rey : look , as much as i like the guy personally , when it comes to the law , the newmans are like everybody else . i ca n't give you or your brother any special treatment . abby : do you always time your arrests to make the maximum public spectacle ? rey : no , the timing was a coincidence . i did n't have any say when the warrant went down . abby : excuse me ? how gullible do you think that i am ? you could have arrested nick later in the evening at his house . you could have pulled him aside and made arrangements for him to turn himself in , but , no , you decided to arrest him and embarrass him at the most important event of his entire life . i hope you 're happy . rey : okay . some things you should know about me . i take no pleasure in other people 's pain . and i can be single - minded when it comes to my work . abby : [ scoffs ] rey : but i see now that i could have handled things better . abby : you think ? rey : if i had to do it again , maybe i 'd do it differently . abby : nick has a lot of people working for him , including arturo . in case you did n't know , he 's our full - time construction chief . there 's a lot of people counting on nick to make this company a success , and things like that article -- it does n't help . rey : all right , i 'll tell you what , i will contact our communications office and see if they will issue that statement you wanted released . abby : thank you . rey : you 're welcome . but what i 'm not gon na do is lay off investigating j.t . abby : of course . i hope not . i hope that you guys find him and punish him . we all do . rey : good . and i 'm glad you 're so protective of your family . something we have in common . nick : tell them i 'll give them my answer first thing in the morning . hey . all right . let 's hear it . what is going on with you ? summer : how would feel if your own father was treating you like the enemy ? nick : mm , like it 's a wednesday ? summer : this is n't funny , dad . nick : sorry , it 's too easy . summer : i mean , can i still count on you ? do you still love me unconditionally , or have i burned those bridges with you , too ? nick : summer , you know the answer to both of those questions . summer : you 've been so disappointed with me lately . nick : come on . you know i love you , and i 'll always be here for you . does n't mean i always like your behavior , though . summer : yeah , i get it . nick : so , spill it . who in your life is on the other side of this burned bridge ? summer : just so we 're clear , i 'm the one that lit the match . i ... took someone for granted repeatedly , and now he 's cut me off , and i ca n't even blame him . and ... you know , i do n't really have a lot of friends to begin with , so i ca n't just be throwing him away like that . nick : [ sighs ] have you apologized ? summer : no , it 's too late for that . nick : well , maybe it 's worth a shot , you know ? sounds like this friend of yours really hung in there with you for a long time . maybe hearing those words from you is exactly what he 's waiting to hear himself . summer : yeah . i mean , who know , maybe there 's still a chance to salvage things . nick : what 's the worst that can happen ? you find out that it 's true and that there is n't ? if that 's the case , then you get some closure , and then you can move on . jack : sorry , it sounds like i 'm interrupting . summer : no , no , no , no . sorry , no , i 'm actually just leaving . thank you for the advice , dad . nick : summer . good luck . summer : thanks . jack : everything okay ? nick : yeah . she heard about my arrest . i assume you have some questions , as well . jack : a few . nick : well , let 's just get it out of the way , then . it was me who hacked newman enterprises , and i did it by impersonating j.t . kyle : shane ! glad you picked up . [ chuckles ] hey , hey , that big betting syndicate you told me about in manhattan -- is that still around ? the retired bookies who do the handicapping ... right , for the high - roller crowd . awesome . can you send me some info ? [ chuckles ] uh , no . not for me . far too rich for my blood . but i know someone who might be interested . billy : `` join us in the winner 's circle . amazing opportunity for elite gamblers , only our syndicate boasts world - famous oddsmakers , ensures that you will come out ahead . `` kyle : got a minute ? billy : yeah . what 's going on ? kyle : i got your memo about yanking the funding for our new subscription fragrance service . billy : and you 're here to talk me out of it . kyle : actually , i think it 's for the best . billy : really ? you were so gung - ho about the test market . kyle : we were moving so slowly , being too cautious . it was pretty much guaranteed one of our competitors would beat us to the punch . when an opportunity like that comes along and we spot the potential , got to go all - in . anything else , and you 're deciding to lose . billy : i could n't agree with you more . it 's exactly how i feel about the boutiques . right now , we ca n't afford to risk anything else . it 's the reality , but it 's a shame . kyle : gotcha . billy : do n't worry about it . there 's plenty of projects coming down the pipeline to keep you busy . and , right now , i got to get to a meeting . you good ? kyle : [ sighs ] [ sighs ] billy just left . summer : i know . i saw . i , uh , came to talk to you . when you were n't in your office , i just figured that you were -- kyle : i have a full day , summer . what is it you need ? summer : to tell you how sorry i am . i did n't like the way that we left things yesterday , and , um ... kyle : it 's the only way that i can -- summer : just let me finish , okay ? look , i know that i hurt you , and i feel terrible about it . you did n't deserve it , and you 've been such a wonderful friend to me , and i promise to change the way that i treat you . if you still want to be in my life . god knows that i need someone to help me figure out why i 'm such a mess . kyle : and you think that someone ought to be me ? summer : yeah , who else knows me the way that you do ? kyle : it 's true . i do understand you . probably better than anyone you 've ever met . that 's what makes it so amazing that you do n't get me at all . ashley : hi ! ashley . great to see you again . ashley : you , too . frankly , i was a little surprised that you wanted to meet in public . well , i never thought we 'd actually be having this conversation . our little arrangement has worked so well and all up until now . ashley : why ? what 's the problem ? well , i got a letter today . ashley : hold on one second , please . sorry , excuse me . hi ! neil : hey . ashley : i did n't know you were back in town . neil : well , yeah , um , sofia 's on the mend , so ... ashley : good . neil : here i am . ashley : yeah , here you are . you 're probably wondering -- neil : hey , listen , you can see whoever you want to see . that 's your prerogative . i mean , what did we do ? we both agreed that we would n't be exclusive , so ... ashley : yeah . neil : and i got to admit , i was hoping we 'd get there someday . ashley : oh . neil : i mean , no pressure from my end . at all . ashley : okay . neil : yeah . ashley : come with me , please . neil , i would like you meet andrew , who is a fantastic chemist i 've hired to do some freelance consulting to handle some work at jabot . pleasure . neil : yeah . yeah , likewise . ashley : neil and his son devon own hamilton - winters . oh , i read about your acquisition of mergeron . that 's very impressive . neil : thank you , andrew . appreciate that . listen , i 'm gon na let you get back to it . you -- you have a nice day . ashley : bye . nick : so , i made a deal for full immunity , and that should be the end of it . jack : until it all gets out , which it always has a way of doing . nick : yeah , i 'm not so sure about that . my dad chose to keep quiet , and the man who did the actual theft wants to lay low . jack : hacking , as you know , still leaves digital fingerprints . look , you may have immunity with chris and paul , but that does n't mean that the feds are gon na give you a free pass . you really want to take that chance ? nick : yeah , you 're probably right . i mean , the files served their purpose . there 's no point in hanging onto them . so i 'll just hire a cybersecurity expert and wipe all the data . jack : i got to say , it 's a hell of a plan . taking over j.t . 's entire identity -- that 's a real victor move . would n't have known you had that in you . nick : you say that like it 's a compliment . i 'm getting sick and tired of all the comparisons to my father . jack : it 's a fact of life , nick . all men measure themselves against their father . except in my case , the man i thought was my father . even victor does it . count on it . nick : well , albert miller 's a pretty low bar . anyone would compare favorably to that bastard . arturo : oh , my god . she 's 15 minutes late so far . [ scoffs ] abby : i 'm sure she 's stuck in traffic . lola : sorry , sorry . i swore i would be on time for once . arturo : abby , meet my sister lola . abby : hi . lola : hi ! abby : oh ! lola : it 's so great to finally meet you in person . it feels like i know you already , though . i follow you online . abby : i 'm flattered . it 's nice to meet you . [ laughs ] arturo : my sister , the chef , has been nonstop talking about your taste in food . abby : oh ! lola : okay , that post you did about how too many restaurants in this town play it safe , you are so not kidding . come by my food truck anytime , and i 'll make you food you wo n't soon forget . on the house . abby : and i 'm guessing you want me to post about how wonderful your cooking is ? lola : this one learns fast . [ laughter ] abby : absolutely . i would love to help . it 's only fair since your brother rey is doing me a huge favor . arturo : yeah ? what 's that ? abby : he is having the police issue a statement clearing nick 's name . arturo : and what does he want in return ? abby : nothing . arturo : rey never wants nothing . abby : well , i think he felt bad about the mess he made of the situation . arturo : well , all i can say is do n't let your guard down . rey likes to make people think he 's a good person , but there is always a catch . always . lately , he 's been pressuring me into helping him reconnect with lola . lola : yeah , that wo n't happen . arturo : you put him above that ? i don't . lola : i already called him . billy : you 're never gon na guess where i found ellie the elephant . victoria : um , in the clothes hamper ? billy : no , but very close . in my shoe , in my gym bag , in the closet . one of our two kids takes hide - and - go - seek very seriously . victoria : well , thank you for bringing it back . katie 's been looking all over for it . billy : i figured she would be . now , for my second good deed of the day , i 'm taking you out for lunch , if you can swing it , of course . victoria : oh , i would , but i can't . i 'm completely booked . billy : really ? that 's a bummer . victoria : why ? is there something that you wanted to discuss ? is everything okay ? billy : yeah , no , everything 's ... everything 's good . i mean , ashley and i still have our issues . but i called her in for a heart - to - heart today , and it was probably the best conversation we 've had in , well , a while . [ cellphone rings ] and somebody 's ears are burning . victoria : i 'm fine . no , take it . billy : hey , ash , what 's going on ? ashley : what the hell were you thinking ? billy : i have no idea what you 're talking about . ashley : i just heard that you sent a termination notice to type a consulting , basically cutting off the funding for my r & d project . billy : it 's only temporary . ashley : lies , billy , and i 'm so sick of it . all you do is lie to me . you tell me that you respect me , it 's just a bunch of words to you . you did n't mean any of them . billy : i did so , ashley , and i 'm not canceling it . i 'm just putting it on hold until -- ashley : save your breath . i should have known better than to give you the benefit of the doubt . billy : like i said , ashley and i are getting along just great . ashley : well , billy has been officially put on notice that i will never believe another word out of his mouth . mm . ashley : as for your services , it looks like i 'll be paying them myself , from my personal account . summer : hey , no , i want to finish our conversation . kyle : i don't . summer : please . okay , what do you mean , that i do n't understand you ? kyle : you know what your problem is ? you only see what you want to see . that 's the opposite of having self - insight . you wanted to compete with your mother , so you were convinced billy was crazy for you . now you want comfort . so you think i 'm warm and fuzzy and safe , your bff . that 's not who i am . summer : well -- kyle : and another thing -- hard though this might be for you to hear , my world does n't revolve around you , summer . i have goals i want to accomplish in life , and i 'm going for it . i 'm probably going to push too hard , cross some lines , go too far . summer : well , that sounds like me . kyle : yeah , now you 're getting it . that 's what i thought we 'd be good together . two people with the same drive , the same killer instinct . but at a certain point , i realized we 'd probably just wind up ripping each other to shreds . so better to walk away now and never look back . summer : well , i disagree . kyle : yeah , of course you do . summer : i learned my lesson , kyle . i do n't want to lose you . kyle : people are who they are . they promise to change -- it 's wasted energy . summer : all right , well , if people never change , then that must mean that you still care about me , right ? kyle : i ca n't turn my feelings on and off like a switch , summer . but we both know how this novel ends , so let 's just skip to the last page where we wish each other well and move on with our lives . the end . `` the young and the restless `` will continue . victoria : none of the board members support you , except for your girlfriend . billy : they only installed me as a figurehead . they wanted ashley to run the business from behind the scenes . it was n't until i started making my own decisions ... victoria : oh . the board freaked . well , that 's pretty predictable . billy : you never treated me that way when we worked together . you were patient . you waited till i actually messed up to freak out . i appreciate that . that 's not happening at jabot . and my ideas , they are home runs . victoria : the popcorn machine ? billy : the popcorn machine is to bring talent into the workplace , to hopefully drag jabot into this century . the birthday suit campaign -- that marketing strategy -- home run . if you have n't seen the numbers , you should . they 're great . victoria : well , what about the other numbers ? i mean , there is more than just the line of revenue in the annual report . billy : no , the only issue that people are concerned about is the fact that i have n't called a vote to get rid of the `` blood abbott `` clause and step aside so ashley could become c.e.o . they ca n't possibly look at my achievements . they 've got zero faith in my abilities . victoria : well , maybe it 's not your performance in business but the way that you conduct yourself in your personal life . billy : right , and why would you say that ? victoria : your family and lauren and the rest of the board members -- how much do they know about the gambling ? nick : here you go . jack : oh , thanks . hey , listen , about what i said earlier , i -- i did n't mean to bring up a sensitive subject . i 've been thinking a lot about fathers and sons lately , for obvious reasons , but i know it was pretty painful when you and victor went to confront albert in his nursing home . nick : the man had no remorse whatsoever about abandoning his own family . jack : had to be pretty hard for victor . nick : it was . you know , my dad would have been better off if he had never learned the truth , if he had just kept on believing that that old man was dead . jack : and sharing with albert what an amazing life he 'd built , despite his father 's callous indifference , he did n't find some satisfaction in that ? nick : just the opposite , actually . the truth is , albert got in my dad 's head that day , and i do n't think he ever really left . my dad did n't show up , you know , expecting to find some hero or some amazing human being , but i know he wanted some level of respect for everything that he 's accomplished . i mean , my dad worked his tail off . he earned that . but he did n't get it . and i think that lasting image of the -- the hatred in albert 's eyes ... i think that got seared in my dad 's brain forever . and it fuels him . i mean , how do you fight a ghost ? jack : yeah , that 's a good question . nick : it 's ironic , you know . my dad was so determined to not end up like his father , and here he is , alienated from his own son . jack : such a shame . not the legacy anyone would have hoped for . nick : i spent less than an hour with albert that day . my kids have never met him . but the man 's influence was so toxic , the repercussions have impacted all of our lives for years afterward . if i never hear that man 's name again , it 'll be too soon . lola : i only decided to reach out this morning after you left for work . abby : rey was on the phone when i showed up at the station . was it with you ? lola : could have been . remember , you said i could make my own decision about this . arturo : yeah , it does n't mean i have to like it . abby : how long has it been since you 've talked to rey ? lola : i mean , not since ... we moved to genoa city . arturo : you should have left well enough alone . lola : rey 's a cop , a detective . he could find me if he wanted to . you said that he did . arturo : i think if you were worried about that -- lola : i was n't worried , but if i 'm going to see our brother again , i want it to be on my terms . arturo : good luck with that . see , with rey , it 's either `` my way or the highway . `` abby : you know , i really did n't get that vibe from him . i 'm not saying that you 're wrong . i 'm just saying that , i mean , is it possible that he 's matured since the last time you saw him ? i mean , maybe he misses you guys . maybe he wants to be part of your family again . arturo : abby , i know you mean well , but you do not know him like i do . abby : yeah . that 's because you wo n't tell me anything about what happened between the two of you . arturo : because i feel like i have spent too much of my life speaking to and about rey rosales . did you already make plans to meet up with him ? lola : yes . arturo : fine . i mean , it 's your decision . i think you 'll regret it , but just do me a favor and leave me out of it , okay ? lola : well , here 's the thing . rey : hey . hey . sorry i 'm late . nick : hey , jack , where 's that file from the cincinnati developer ? martin 's his name . jack : uh , sorry . it 's here somewhere . nick : it 's right there . it 's the blue one , coded blue for out - of - state . jack : yeah , sorry . nick : you all right ? jack : you know what , i -- i think you made me actually sympathize with victor . i 'm not sure i have a place for that . i do n't think i ever thought i 'd feel that in my life . nick : yeah , i felt terrible for my dad that day he came face to face with albert . we bonded over it . it did n't last . jack : victor was already too damaged . nick : not letting him off the hook , though , completely . i mean , yeah , my dad got a raw deal . he got an absolute creep for a father , but he keeps perpetuating the cycle into his old age . and at some point , you got to be a man . you got to step up and take responsibility and say , `` maybe i did n't start this pain , but it ends with me . `` that 's what i 'm doing with my family . jack : thanks . you 've given me a lot to think about . arturo : you coming ? abby : yeah , um , hang on a minute . rey : you do n't have to leave on my account . lola : you 're not helping . stay . for me . please . ca n't we talk about this ? arturo : the time for that was this morning , when you made this decision and did n't warn me . lola : would you have come if you knew rey would be joining us ? arturo : no , but at least then you would have shown me the same respect i showed you when i let you make your own choice . lola : we have to start somewhere . arturo : no , we don't . victoria : when i heard that you played in some big - time vegas tournament , i really could n't believe my ears . billy : the fact that i invited phyllis with me proves that i 'm not being secretive about my gambling . victoria : i can tell from the look on your face that you wish she had n't told me . billy : because you ca n't be objective . victoria : well , it 's kind of hard when you 're talking about something that almost got us both killed . billy : no , it 's not the same thing . okay ?

[ sighs ] hi . now , i know we 're fighting but are there rules to maybe , um , us doing other stuff while we 're fighting , or ... ? brooke : ridge , i know you love your son and you want him to have -- ridge : i want him to have what we have . brooke : well , he 'll never have that because hope does n't have feelings for him . ridge : how does she not have feelings for him ? she 's wearing his ring ! she made a commitment . brooke : a ring does n't make a marriage work . ridge : i -- i just now remembered how much work this is . brooke : well , i 'm just looking out for the both of them . i mean , do you really want your son to be married to somebody that has feelings for somebody else ? ridge : of course i do n't want that . brooke : okay , well , that 's exactly what 's happening here . hope still has n't gotten over liam . she loves him , and she always will . he 's her soul mate . steffy : liam , i get that you still care about hope , but , you know , she encouraged you to move on , to be here with phoebe and kelly . and now hope 's moving on with thomas , and i get that that 's not easy for you . i know . liam : i -- i just want her to be happy . steffy : then let thomas make her happy . liam : it just feels so ... forced , though . steffy : i do n't know . i do n't know , i think -- okay , i think , like , thomas is seeing the bigger picture , and maybe you do n't , you know ? he envisions his life with hope , how wonderful it could be , especially for his son . liam : okay , but -- okay , so that 's the thing . i 'm not convinced that thomas is doing all of this for douglas . no , i know that you are , but ... steffy : his son will always be his first priority . everything is with douglas ' best interest . he 's a gentle , loving father , and he will do anything to keep his son happy and safe . hope : douglas was terrified . thomas : yeah , you -- you definitely knew how to calm him down . hope : well , when i heard him screaming , i thought he might be hurt . thomas : yeah , i 'm so sorry . that must have been really scary for you . hope : i just -- i ran up here as fast as i could . thomas : i was in the shower . i -- i did n't hear him , but thank god you did . hope : so you said that he 's been having these nightmares ? thomas : well , ever since his mom died , but never like that . i -- you know , whatever he thought he saw , it must have been really scary . hope : yeah , and i just hope he can sleep through the night . thomas : yeah , i 'm -- i 'm sure he will . he , uh -- he 's conked out now , so , uh ... i predict no more ghosts . hope : i certainly hope not . thomas : yeah . no , we can , uh -- we can relax . [ sighs ] so ... you were great with him , though . i mean , that story about the squirrel ? hope : chipmunk . thomas : yeah . right . he -- he really loved that . hope : he 's a wonderful little boy . thomas : you 're ready for this , hope . it 's clearer than ever . i mean , and you are -- you 're ready to be his mother . and you 're ready to be my wife . ridge : i wish this was n't weighing so heavily on you . brooke : i wish it was n't , either , but my daughter 's well - being is at stake . ridge : so is my son 's . my grandson 's , my daughter , her kids . liam tried , but it -- it did n't work , and maybe thomas is the answer . brooke : she needs room to breathe . ridge : [ sighs ] brooke : and i do n't think being with thomas is going to fix her . i 'm worried it 's going to do the opposite . ridge : it does n't matter if we 're worried or not , it 's just gon na happen , right ? and a good doctor friend of mine said that worrying is bad for your health , and whenever you do , you should start making out with whoever you 're in bed with . brooke : yeah ? really ? ridge : mm - hmm . mm - hmm . brooke : hmm ? ridge : mmm . brooke : [ sighs ] i could n't help myself . ridge : could n't help yourself kissing me , or worrying about your daughter . brooke : both . ridge : okay . brooke : i just want her to do what 's best for her . i do n't want her to do what 's best for everyone else . ridge : she did what 's best for her . she annulled the marriage . and i do n't want to fight with you , but ... like it or not , that chapter of her life is over . steffy : hope is building a life with my brother , and i know you wish that were n't the case , if it could be anyone but him , but -- liam : [ scoffs ] steffy : the reality is , they 're getting married . liam : whoa , hold on . they 're engaged . i mean , hope said she wants to wait a minute before they actually get married , but we 'll see if they even last that long . steffy : i mean , if it were up to thomas , he 'd marry her tomorrow . liam : i know ! that 's part of the problem . he 's being so aggressive , using douglas . steffy : hope 's no pushover . she would n't have accepted a ring if she was n't into it . liam : no , you 're -- okay , you 're right . she 's not a pushover , but ... she wants to be there for douglas , and she feels like that 's gon na make the pain go away for both of them . but she 's wrong . it 's not . steffy : hope and douglas have helped each other so much . liam : [ sighs ] steffy : you know , it 's kind of obvious that she wants to be his step - mom , you know , make it official . liam : i just -- i can just see how thomas is driving this whole thing , how he 's pressuring hope so he can get what he wants . steffy : okay . however you want to look at it , our family 's getting even closer . so maybe you can just try to accept it , mabe support hope and thomas . just be happy for them . liam : [ sighs ] thomas : i was surprised to hear you tell douglas you wanted to get married right away . but i was excited you changed your mind . you know , this is what we want . there 's no reason to wait . so , we have a wedding to plan . but , you know what , whatever you want is fine by me , okay ? big , small . just -- the sooner , the better because i can not wait to be your husband . hope : [ chuckles ] um , i -- i ca n't stop thinking about douglas . i 'm really worried about him . so i think i 'm gon na go back to his room , stay with him tonight , make sure he sleeps okay . thomas : there 's no reason to do that . here , listen . nothing . he 's asleep , okay ? and if he wakes up , we 'll hear him . hey , we just agreed to get married right away . that is a reason to celebrate . so ... stay here , hope . stay with me tonight . ridge : you 're my wife . i do n't want you to be stressed and unhappy . brooke : i 'm not that unhappy . i mean , how could i be unhappy with a sexy , gorgeous man in my bed ? ridge : see , now you 're making sense . brooke : [ giggles ] ridge : i 'm not dismissing how you feel about your daughter , i 'm really not . i just do n't think we should interfere in their lives . let them work it out . do you remember when my mom would interfere ? remember that ? brooke : mm . yeah . stephanie was a wise woman . maybe we should have listened to her more often . ridge : i guess she was wise , but she drove people nuts . remember what she did to us ? brooke : [ scoffs ] ridge : and we ca n't do that to the kids . let them be . and , who knows , maybe ... thomas and hope , they 're gon na fall madly in love . brooke : yeah , i just do n't see it . ridge : [ sighs ] she 's not with liam anymore . that part 's done . douglas and thomas , they 're with hope now . and maybe she 'll fall in love with him the way you could n't help but fall in love with me . brooke : yeah . ridge : yeah . brooke : yeah . liam : hmm ? steffy : it 's your turn , by the way . liam : [ laughs ] steffy : [ laughs ] liam : no , i know . i 'm -- i 'm all set for the overnight shift . and , guess what ? steffy : what ? liam : i 'm gon na do wake - up with them so you can sleep in a little bit . steffy : [ gasps ] you are ? liam : [ laughing ] yeah . steffy : [ squeals ] liam : well , you had the early - morning conference call , and i 'm trying to make up for lost time , you know ? i figure , like , 300 mornings , and then maybe -- maybe we 'll be even . steffy : no ! you 're the best . thank you . liam : well , they 're growing up fast . steffy : yeah . liam : i do n't want to miss it . steffy : it means so much that you 're here with us . liam : we 're a little unit , are n't we ? we 're a team , the fab four . steffy : every child deserves this -- family . that 's what hope and thomas are giving douglas . thomas : we do n't have to wait anymore . we 're almost married . hope : i know , it 's just -- right now , i ca n't take my mind off of douglas . i mean , what if he has another nightmare ? thomas : i am willing to bet that 's not going to happen . okay ? but , if it does , we 'll be right here . okay ? but right now , we 're alone . we do n't have to hide our feelings anymore . when we were in cabo , we had our chance , but you were n't ready . now you are . and you are wearing my ring . there 's nothing stopping us , hope . hope : thomas , i 'm -- i 'm just not ready . thomas : you 're about to be my wife . hope : i know , i -- i 'm not sure when i 'll be ready . thomas : i get it , okay ? you 're a woman of principle . you want to wait for the wedding band to be on your finger , you want to wait for our wedding night . hope : i 'm not even sure i 'll be ready then . thomas : are you saying you want to wait for our honeymoon ? hope : honestly ? i do n't know . thomas : what do you mean , you do n't know ? hope : maybe this is a mistake . thomas : no . no , no , no , no . it 's -- it 's okay . it 's okay , you 're not ready . i 'm sorry , um ... we 'll get there . okay ? it 's just -- it 's kind of hard for me to wait , but i will . you 're worth it . you 're worth waiting for . and when the time comes ... and it will ... it 'll be incredible . .Summarize.[/INST]douglas has a nightmare and sees a ghost one that his dad , thomas , arranged with a remote machine under the bed . hope holds him and talks him through it . thomas takes the opportunity to hide the machine and tells douglas there are no ghosts under the bed . brooke and ridge are at odds . she thinks it is too soon for hope to be engaged . she just hopes they are going to have a very long engagement as people do not marry each other unless they are in love . ridge says sometimes family and stability win out . brooke says surely he does not want his son to marry someone when she is in love with someone else . he says no , but he does not think this is what is happening . liam drags himself home to steffy and says he is really worried about hope . she reminds him that thomas is not a bad guy . he has been a little intense and pushy in the past but that has nothing to do with hope . he would do anything for his son . and it could be the solution to everyone 's problems . hope lies down with douglas and assures him that she and his daddy are going to take care of him . he wants to hear a story so she tells him one about the chipmunk while thomas is ogling her outstretched bare legs . she manages to get douglas to sleep . thomas says they can relax now . he is sure no more ghosts tonight . he thinks she is ready to be douglas 's mommy and she is ready to be his wife . ridge tells brooke that he is sorry she is so conflicted with this . but his daughter 's welfare is at stake and thomas 's too and their children . liam tried but it did not work out . thomas could be the answer . he does not want to fight with her but he thinks that chapter of hope 's life with liam is over .</s> | 455 |

i think you 're still trying to make the most of this little furlough from this prison sentence you call your marriage . nikki : jack , you are a funny , funny man . if you do n't want to help me -- jack : no , no , no . sit , sit , sit , sit . i got plenty of ideas on how you can recapture your former glory with a fresh spin . nikki : i 'm listening . jack : okay , hear me out now . `` the bayou 2 , `` an all - male revue . nikki : [ chuckling ] oh , my god . jack : i 'll even learn a few magic mike moves for the opening night . nikki : i would definitely pay to see that . but that 's not quite the direction i was thinking of . jack : no ?

juliet : yeah . silly , is n't it ? he wants to include numbers from our hair care line , but those profits were slightly down last quarter , and i - i would rather emphasize the lines where we exceeded our projections . lily : yeah , um ... sorry . i - i agree with juliet . i think that you should spin the good and leave out the bad . i know you 're a perfectionist , but you really should n't let things like this upset you so much . juliet : this is n't worth getting all worked up about . cane : yeah , you 're right . we should do it your way . jordan : hey , lily . those test shots have downloaded . lily : yeah , i 'm -- i 'm coming . play nice , you two . jordan : get ready to be amazed . everything okay ?

not me . i mean , i get it . i am dating genoa city 's most eligible bachelor . actually , as a young , good - looking billionaire , i think you 're genoa city 's most eligible bachelor ever . devon : okay . mariah : if anybody should be bothered , it 's you . having to contend with all of these very friendly women all the time . it 's difficult . juliet : cane and i were just arguing about a press release . lily : oh , so that 's why things were so heated when i walked in ? juliet : yeah . silly , is n't it ? he wants to include numbers from our hair care line , but those profits were slightly down last quarter , and i - i would rather emphasize the lines where we exceeded our projections . lily : yeah , um ... sorry . i - i agree with juliet . i think that you should spin the good and leave out the bad . i know you 're a perfectionist , but you really should n't let things like this upset you so much . juliet : this is n't worth getting all worked up about . cane : yeah , you 're right . we should do it your way . jordan : hey , lily . those test shots have downloaded . lily : yeah , i 'm -- i 'm coming . play nice , you two . jordan : get ready to be amazed . everything okay ?

[ clears throat ] [ scene_break ] spinelli : good evening , valkyrie . i was just confessing to fair lulu my scheme to seek vengeance on an evil seducer who has set his sights on maximista -- dr . matt hunter . carly : patrick 's brother ? you do n't have anything to worry about there . spinelli : well , i walked in on them kissing today . lulu : okay , the kiss was n't real . i 've been trying to explain to him that maxie came up with this whole thing just to make him jealous . spinelli : yeah , and as i was saying , kissing my non - wife is still unacceptable , and dr. hunter has to pay the price for blatantly taunting me . but please , valkyrie , i beseech you , do not inform stone cold of any of this . he would be mightily disappointed , and he has other pressing things to focus on . carly : okay . i 'm not gon na say a word , but i do n't think you have anything to worry about . lulu : this is n't matt 's fault at all . this is honestly all maxie . she just has this crazy idea that if she makes you jealous enough , you 're gon na fight for her , and then things will go back to normal . she loves you . it 's just that things get so convoluted in her head . then she ends up sabotaging everything . spinelli : i will take that into consideration . and thank you for your kind understanding . lulu : just do n't do anything stupid . talk to maxie first , okay ? carly : lulu 's giving you some good advice . you should probably listen to her . lulu : thank you . spinelli , i have to go . okay ? good seeing you . please , spinelli , talk to maxie . carly : i have to admit , you had me really worried there . wow . i 'm impressed . in your own unique way , you are quite the liar . spinelli : or perhaps your considerable talents have been rubbing off . after all , you are the queen of all things misleading . carly : i 'm gon na take that as a compliment . i do n't think there 's anything wrong with lying if it 's for a good reason . spinelli : i am not always comfortable with matters of deception , but in this case , i believe our righteous path of vengeance justifies the use of subterfuge . carly : exactly . [ scene_break ] maya : wow . you look gorgeous . maxie : thank you . it 's by this fabulous new designer -- gilberte . he 's a protégé of nea llorente . maya : ah , love her . looks like her protégé is not gon na be a protégé any longer . maxie : i know . seriously , `` crimson `` did a photo shoot on this , and i could n't wait to wear it . although , i kind of feel like i 've wasted it tonight , 'cause i agreed to go out with matt hunter , and i have no idea why . i mean , it 's just to make spinelli jealous . maya : i have to ask -- why do you try to convince everyone that you 're not attracted to matt , when it 's perfectly obvious that you are ? matt : maya , you just have this way of taking the words right out of my mouth . [ scene_break ] bobbie : hey , handsome . any word from your dad ? ethan : no , not yet . but i 'm sure luke could be leaving bread crumbs for tracy to follow soon enough . although , she already has 10 million good reasons to find him . bobbie : knowing luke , it 's a lot less by now . so , what brings you by ? ethan : oh . i -- i had a little accident that might require some stitches . bobbie : oh . ethan : yeah . bobbie : hey , maya -- maya : hey , bobbie . what 's up ? bobbie : my nephew here seems to have injured himself . but i 'm sure he wo n't mind if i leave him in your very capable hands . ethan : that sounds perfect to me . bobbie : i 'd take care of you myself , but i 've got an important meeting . so , maya 's gon na fix you right up . let me know if you hear anything from your dad . ethan : i will . maya : stray bullet ? ethan : [ chuckles ] i wish . it 's nothing that quite exciting , but it is a pretty good story . maya : i have no doubt . go ahead . ethan : all right . so , it all started when i left my keys , all right , and i was locked out of my place -- not my penthouse , mind you , but my far less flashy one - bedroom dump . so , anyway , i remembered that i left this window open that sort of faces the inner courtyard in the complex . right ? so , i decided to lower myself down from the roof . [ maya chuckles ] maya : sounds brilliant . ethan : yeah . well , i thought so , too , until i tripped over an exhaust fan and nearly fell off the roof . but i managed to grab onto the ledge , but there was this something sticking out , and it just sliced my hand open . so , there i am dangling about 30 meters above the ground with blood streaming down my arm . and i just started laughing . maya : uh , you know what ? i ca n't do this . [ ethan snickers ] [ scene_break ] kristina : so , what , they just randomly assigned me a study partner that i do n't even know ? alexis : no . your history teacher wanted the transfer student to be with his most organized and prepared student , which i think is a big compliment . i really am impressed that you 've been able to be such a good student , considering everything that 's been going on with you . kristina : well , at least the new girl wo n't know that her study partner is a nut case who let her boyfriend beat her up and then lied about it . alexis : you are not a nut case . all right ? you 've been through a traumatic situation , and you 're getting a little bit better every single day . maybe she 's a really nice girl , and you 'll have yourself a new friend . kristina : i hope so . all the girls at my school are really getting on my nerves . what 's her name again ? alexis : taylor . uh -- [ knock on door ] alexis : that must be her right now . kristina : okay . taylor : you must be kristina ? i 'm taylor . [ scene_break ] carly : uh , this whole thing with matt and maxie , that was just a cover - up , right ? i mean , you 're not really upset about the kiss , are you ? spinelli : i -- i could never bring true vengeance on maximista or any man she admires . i wish for her only happiness . but the same can not be said for dante . i think he needs to suffer for the pain that he caused michael and stone cold , and suffer greatly . believe me , my focus on that matter is razor sharp . carly : good . updates for me ? spinelli : yes . i have been making significant progress . it will not be long before i 'll be able to secretly siphon large amounts of cash from the cortez cartel directly into dante 's bank accounts . then with evidence leaked to the proper authorities , corruption charges , drug trafficking certain to follow . carly : ohh . nice . oh , god , i ca n't wait to see the look on dante 's face when this goes down . wait . now , you 're sure that they ca n't trace this back to us , right ? spinelli : the jackal is a master when it comes to walking in the world of the internet without leaving footprints . carly : this is perfect . and he can whine and cry all he wants . that 's only gon na make him look more guilty . this is nothing compared to what he deserves for what he 's done . but you know what ? it 's a start . sam : oh , no . whatever you guys are up to needs to stop now .

[ clears throat ] [ scene_break ] spinelli : good evening , valkyrie . i was just confessing to fair lulu my scheme to seek vengeance on an evil seducer who has set his sights on maximista -- dr . matt hunter . carly : patrick 's brother ? you do n't have anything to worry about there . spinelli : well , i walked in on them kissing today . lulu : okay , the kiss was n't real . i 've been trying to explain to him that maxie came up with this whole thing just to make him jealous . spinelli : yeah , and as i was saying , kissing my non - wife is still unacceptable , and dr. hunter has to pay the price for blatantly taunting me . but please , valkyrie , i beseech you , do not inform stone cold of any of this . he would be mightily disappointed , and he has other pressing things to focus on . carly : okay . i 'm not gon na say a word , but i do n't think you have anything to worry about . lulu : this is n't matt 's fault at all . this is honestly all maxie . she just has this crazy idea that if she makes you jealous enough , you 're gon na fight for her , and then things will go back to normal . she loves you . it 's just that things get so convoluted in her head . then she ends up sabotaging everything . spinelli : i will take that into consideration . and thank you for your kind understanding . lulu : just do n't do anything stupid . talk to maxie first , okay ? carly : lulu 's giving you some good advice . you should probably listen to her . lulu : thank you . spinelli , i have to go . okay ? good seeing you . please , spinelli , talk to maxie . carly : i have to admit , you had me really worried there . wow . i 'm impressed . in your own unique way , you are quite the liar . spinelli : or perhaps your considerable talents have been rubbing off . after all , you are the queen of all things misleading . carly : i 'm gon na take that as a compliment . i do n't think there 's anything wrong with lying if it 's for a good reason . spinelli : i am not always comfortable with matters of deception , but in this case , i believe our righteous path of vengeance justifies the use of subterfuge . carly : exactly . [ scene_break ] maya : wow . you look gorgeous . maxie : thank you . it 's by this fabulous new designer -- gilberte . he 's a protégé of nea llorente . maya : ah , love her . looks like her protégé is not gon na be a protégé any longer . maxie : i know . seriously , `` crimson `` did a photo shoot on this , and i could n't wait to wear it . although , i kind of feel like i 've wasted it tonight , 'cause i agreed to go out with matt hunter , and i have no idea why . i mean , it 's just to make spinelli jealous . maya : i have to ask -- why do you try to convince everyone that you 're not attracted to matt , when it 's perfectly obvious that you are ? matt : maya , you just have this way of taking the words right out of my mouth . [ scene_break ] bobbie : hey , handsome . any word from your dad ? ethan : no , not yet . but i 'm sure luke could be leaving bread crumbs for tracy to follow soon enough . although , she already has 10 million good reasons to find him . bobbie : knowing luke , it 's a lot less by now . so , what brings you by ? ethan : oh . i -- i had a little accident that might require some stitches . bobbie : oh . ethan : yeah . bobbie : hey , maya -- maya : hey , bobbie . what 's up ? bobbie : my nephew here seems to have injured himself . but i 'm sure he wo n't mind if i leave him in your very capable hands . ethan : that sounds perfect to me . bobbie : i 'd take care of you myself , but i 've got an important meeting . so , maya 's gon na fix you right up . let me know if you hear anything from your dad . ethan : i will . maya : stray bullet ? ethan : [ chuckles ] i wish . it 's nothing that quite exciting , but it is a pretty good story . maya : i have no doubt . go ahead . ethan : all right . so , it all started when i left my keys , all right , and i was locked out of my place -- not my penthouse , mind you , but my far less flashy one - bedroom dump . so , anyway , i remembered that i left this window open that sort of faces the inner courtyard in the complex . right ? so , i decided to lower myself down from the roof . [ maya chuckles ] maya : sounds brilliant . ethan : yeah . well , i thought so , too , until i tripped over an exhaust fan and nearly fell off the roof . but i managed to grab onto the ledge , but there was this something sticking out , and it just sliced my hand open . so , there i am dangling about 30 meters above the ground with blood streaming down my arm . and i just started laughing . maya : uh , you know what ? i ca n't do this . [ ethan snickers ] [ scene_break ] kristina : so , what , they just randomly assigned me a study partner that i do n't even know ? alexis : no . your history teacher wanted the transfer student to be with his most organized and prepared student , which i think is a big compliment . i really am impressed that you 've been able to be such a good student , considering everything that 's been going on with you . kristina : well , at least the new girl wo n't know that her study partner is a nut case who let her boyfriend beat her up and then lied about it . alexis : you are not a nut case . all right ? you 've been through a traumatic situation , and you 're getting a little bit better every single day . maybe she 's a really nice girl , and you 'll have yourself a new friend . kristina : i hope so . all the girls at my school are really getting on my nerves . what 's her name again ? alexis : taylor . uh -- [ knock on door ] alexis : that must be her right now . kristina : okay . taylor : you must be kristina ? i 'm taylor . [ scene_break ] carly : uh , this whole thing with matt and maxie , that was just a cover - up , right ? i mean , you 're not really upset about the kiss , are you ? spinelli : i -- i could never bring true vengeance on maximista or any man she admires . i wish for her only happiness . but the same can not be said for dante . i think he needs to suffer for the pain that he caused michael and stone cold , and suffer greatly . believe me , my focus on that matter is razor sharp . carly : good . updates for me ? spinelli : yes . i have been making significant progress . it will not be long before i 'll be able to secretly siphon large amounts of cash from the cortez cartel directly into dante 's bank accounts . then with evidence leaked to the proper authorities , corruption charges , drug trafficking certain to follow . carly : ohh . nice . oh , god , i ca n't wait to see the look on dante 's face when this goes down . wait . now , you 're sure that they ca n't trace this back to us , right ? spinelli : the jackal is a master when it comes to walking in the world of the internet without leaving footprints . carly : this is perfect . and he can whine and cry all he wants . that 's only gon na make him look more guilty . this is nothing compared to what he deserves for what he 's done . but you know what ? it 's a start . sam : oh , no . whatever you guys are up to needs to stop now . [ scene_break ] [ camera shutter clicking ] [ radio chatter ] dante : so , they found where franco parked his car . so far , all we have are tire tracks . this place is a dead end . look . you know franco better than anyone else . you have any idea where he would have gone ? jason : we know that franco always leaves a clue . found this . dante : `` jake 's presents in concert one night only '' -- `` k `` something . what the hell is this ? jason : i have spinelli doing research on this guy right now . dante : well , it leads to something . let 's go to jake 's .

julian : how about we skip the part where i fall for it , only to get my hopes shattered again , okay ? this time , let 's jump ahead to where you come out and tell me . what do you want to know ? alexis : just one thing . are you working for luke spencer ? julian : [ chuckles ] luke spencer ? alexis : is luke spencer the man that you 're reporting to ? julian : [ sighs ] [ scene_break ] patrick : luke is out of town and apparently unreachable , so you 're the only one who we can talk to . lulu : um , what 's this about ? what do you want to know about my dad ? sam : look , we think that luke caused patrick 's car accident . [ scene_break ] nina : listen , i think that you are correct to , um , assume that it was n't sonny and carly 's only night together , based on all that history that you mentioned to me before , but , um , how are you gon na find out one way or the other ? franco : well , i 'm gon na have a front - row view of every move that carly makes between now and when she says , `` i do . `` nina : i understand your desire to keep tabs on someone you love . i mean , believe me -- i understand . but how are you gon na watch carly every moment of the day ? franco : with this . [ scene_break ] sonny : i 'm gon na make her pay for what she 's done . carly : ava 's dangerous , sonny . sonny : i 'm gon na make sure she 's neutralized . she 's not gon na be able to spill any secrets . no one 's ever gon na know what i did to aj . [ scene_break ] ava : i saw sonny kill michael 's father . morgan : wh - what -- what the hell are you talking about ? ava : i 'm sorry , morgan . it 's the truth . sonny killed aj quartermaine . michael : there 's no way i 'm getting out of here alive , right ? [ scene_break ] kobe : that 's right . rosalie : well , then you 're a moron ! did you not just hear him say that his father will make sure you die by inches ? kobe : ladies first . michael : i just want to know who gave you the order . who decided i have to die ? just tell me who your boss is . kobe : sure . why the hell not ? you might have even heard of him . the name 's got a long history -- shawn : drop it ! kobe : i do n't think so ! [ scene_break ] nina : yeah , i - i do n't get it . so , your phone is going to help you keep tabs on carly ? franco : okay . so , you see this app right here ? nina : oh . franco : if i -- nina : app ! yeah . app . mm - hmm . before i went into my coma , i used to refer to hors d'oeuvres as an app -- short for `` appetizer . `` franco : right . nina : yeah . and it used to drive my mom crazy that i did that . she thought it was crass . franco : well ... nina : [ chuckles ] franco : uh , never give up a chance to stick it to a crazy mother -- that 's what i say . nina : oh , my god , i never gave up . it was my life 's greatest pleasure . okay , so , now this app right here -- franco : no , no , no . nina : how are you gon na use it ... franco : what happens is -- nina : ... to track carly ? franco : you see this icon here ? this -- this tiny little picture , okay ? if i -- it 's connected to a necklace that i gave to carly as an engagement gift this morning . it 's a necklace , but it 's also a camera -- state - of - the art video , state - of - the - art audio . and if i push this button , i will be able to see exactly what carly 's up to ... and exactly who she 's up to that what with . [ scene_break ] carly : [ sighs ] okay , you 're right . ava 's a wild card . she knows too much damning information -- not just about what you did , but my part in it . i mean , if michael ever found out that i knew , he 'd hold me just as accountable as you , so ... [ sighs ] ... we 'd both lose him . sonny : so , we 're in agreement ? carly : ava needs to be found and dealt with . sonny : do n't worry , carly . it wo n't be long before i get her back ... under my control . [ scene_break ] morgan : what ? that 's crazy . kiki : we know who shot aj -- carlos rivera . this is why i wanted to hear your whole story before agreeing to help you . you lie so easily , especially when you 're using it to get yourself off the hook . you must be out of practice , though , because your story has a gaping hole in it . carlos confessed . ava : carlos confessed because i asked him to . kiki : you got a man to confess to a murder that he did n't commit ? mom , the guy is in prison for life . how did you manage that one ? ava : i gave him some incentive . [ scene_break ] shawn : let him go . kobe : yeah , i do n't think so , butler . that 's right -- i know you 're sonny 's number - one guy . funny how you showed up right as i was about to earn my money . it 's almost like you knew i was gon na be here . so tell me -- how , exactly , did you end up in the right place at the right time ? shawn : i just had to talk to michael about something . kobe : no . you came in here ready for trouble . who gave me up ? because i can think of only one person who could have tipped you off . julian : it 's interesting . this is what you want to know ? alexis : yes , this is what i want to know . are you working for luke ? julian : [ sighs ] you know , the entire reason you broke up with me is because you found out i was still in the business . you want nothing to do with it -- consequently , nothing to do with me . alexis : i needed to protect my family . someone torched my house . i did n't want my children hurt . what was i supposed to do ? julian : i accept that . that 's fine . but if you 're going to deny me the pleasure of your company , then you do n't get to ask how i spend my time , which includes who i report to . you lost that right when you walk away from me . alexis : all right , look . you 're right . you are no longer accountable to me , but i am not asking for me . i am asking for our daughter . [ scene_break ] lulu : what are you talking about ? you think that my father had you forced off the road ? patrick : look , i know it sounds crazy , but we 've been investigating the accident and trying to piece together what happened . sam : yeah , and recently , we 've come across some information that points in luke 's direction . lulu : what kind of information ? what possible reason would my father have to want to cause patrick 's accident ? tracy : there is no reason . the luke spencer i know would never do such a thing . i would stake my life on it . [ scene_break ] julian : i do n't get it . you just said your whole goal is to keep your daughters away from my business . so what does sam have to do with you asking who i work for ? alexis : sam and patrick are trying to find out who 's responsible for running patrick and his family off the road . julian : and you think that has something to do with me and the possibility that i work for luke spencer ? alexis : julian , just stop it and answer the question . who is your boss ? julian : [ sighs ] [ scene_break ] tracy : i can not believe the two of you are seriously accusing luke of this terrible crime . patrick , i - i - i am so sorry for your loss . i - i ca n't even begin to imagine how traumatic it is , but it does n't give you license to go around making baseless accusations . patrick : they 're not baseless , tracy . dante : let 's just hear what they have to say . tracy : i do n't need to hear what they have to say . i am painfully aware of luke 's role in little jake 's death , but that was an accident -- one that luke deeply regretted . to think that he would possibly endanger a child 's life is ridiculous . lulu : i - i mean , it -- it ca n't be true . sam : look , i know it 's really hard to believe , but this is n't something that we would just pull out of thin air . i mean , we -- we would never come here and question your father 's character because of a random theory . lulu : well , then what makes you so sure ? patrick : we have a source . tracy : who ? [ scene_break ] nina : hmm . um , so , you put a camera in a necklace that you gave to carly , so you could see what she 's doing while you 're not there ? franco : yeah . nina : you 're spying on your new fiancée . franco : no , i 'm being proactive . you 're the one who said that she was lying . nina : well , i said that , um , you know , to help you -- help you so you could confront carly , so you could get everything out in the open , and not so you could go all `` spy vs. spy `` on her . franco : i do n't have a choice . it 's the only way i can know for sure if she 's done with sonny . nina : and if she is done with sonny ? franco : well , then the wedding goes ahead as planned . nina : and if she is n't ? what will you do then ? [ scene_break ] sonny : okay , so well , i guess we 'll just wait , uh , to hear from shawn and maybe have some coffee . you still have that cappuccino machine that i gave you ? carly : i never learned how to use it , and that 's why you gave it to me . sonny : mm . carly : yeah , you wanted to mock my less - than - stellar cooking skills . sonny : `` less than stellar `` ? i did n't know it had improved from `` nonexistent . `` carly : really ? sonny : [ chuckles ] no , i did n't ask you for the coffee for you to make it . i want to see the machine 'cause i 'll do the honors . remember when i used to , every morning , make you coffee ? you 'd be sleeping so beautiful , and the aroma of the coffee would wake you up . and you 'd give me that smile -- that beautiful smile that you 'd only give to me . carly : thank you for the update . um , if there 's nothing else , you need to go . sonny : why do i have to leave ? carly : bec -- you know ! do n't do this ! i 'm not playing this game with you , sonny . sonny : you really want to marry this freak ? he tried to destroy jason 's life . he set our son up to be attacked . carly : he was sick , sonny , and he had a brain tumor . sonny : ah , brain tu -- i know of the brain tumor . but he also almost told michael that i shot aj because he was angry at me . he did n't care that it would hurt michael . carly : he had a moment of weakness , and he said he was never gon na do it again . he promised me he was never gon na do it again . sonny : do you really think franco takes promises seriously ? i mean , look at -- look at -- look at -- he -- he asked you to pledge your life to him . did he buy you a ring ? is that a moment of weakness ? carly : shut up ! he loves me , and i love him , and you know what ? he gave me this . sonny : what the hell is that ? carly : it 's a necklace , sonny , and it 's called the evil eye . sonny : oh , that 's a perfect gift from the king of evil . carly : you do n't get it . no , it 's supposed to ward off evil . sonny : well , it 's not working 'cause franco 's still around . [ scene_break ] kiki : what do you mean you gave carlos an incentive ? what kind of an incentive causes a man to confess to murder ? ava : i always tried to shield you from the business when you were growing up , so it makes sense that you would n't understand . morgan : okay , then explain it to us . ava : there is a reason they call organizations like mine a family . i 've known carlos for a very long time . he 's always been quite loyal ... to a fault , some might say . so he took one for the team and confessed to sonny 's crime . morgan : okay , if my dad really did kill aj , then how could you possibly know about it ? ava : because i was there when michael 's father was shot . [ scene_break ] shawn : it does n't matter why i 'm here . all that matters is you 're not gon na get away with this . kobe : i 'm the one with the gun in the hostage 's side , so i 'm the one who says who 's going to get away with what . michael : okay , just lower your gun , walk out the door , and shawn will not shoot you . you have my word . rosalie : come on ! do it ! just get out ! forget why you came here and go before this gets any worse . kobe : shut up before i pull the trigger ! michael : you do n't have to be the one who dies here . just leave now . kobe : how about shawn leaves instead ? we 're the same -- you and me . hired guns . so why do n't you run along back to your boss and let me finish my business ? [ scene_break ] tracy : [ laughs ] spencer cassadine is your source ? sam : he said that luke told him . tracy : luke told a child that he ran patrick off the road ? patrick : not exactly , no . lulu : well , then what , exactly ? i mean , how can my father be responsible for this accident ? sam : um , let me explain this . on the night of nikolas and britt 's engagement party , spencer said that he overheard luke plotting against sonny , and then he got scared for his uncle , so he skipped school , and he went to go see luke . and when he confronted luke about it , luke threatened to hurt emma in order to keep spencer quiet . patrick : not long after that , rafe drove us off the road . spencer said that he called luke to tell him that , `` yes , i 'm gon na stay quiet , `` and that 's when luke told spencer that he caused the accident . he did it on purpose to keep him quiet . lulu : spencer has been known to embroider the truth . you think that this could be a bid for attention , like when he ran away for a few days ? sam : we thought about that , as well , but he was truly frightened when he said this to us , and i - i really believe that he believes that he 's telling the truth . dante : so , spencer heard luke plotting against sonny ? who was he plotting with ? sam : well , we 're trying to figure that out now . my mom 's actually working on it with us . we think it 's julian . what ? patrick : what ? what 's that mean ? sam : what ? do you not think that julian met with luke ? lulu : um , actually -- uh , we know that he did . [ scene_break ] julian : i 'm sorry . this does n't make any sense . why would you think i was working for luke spencer ? you know i was working for lansing . how could i be working for luke spencer at the same time ? alexis : at nikolas ' engagement party to britt -- julian : oh , the party you only asked me to , because you were trying to get information out of me ? alexis : i thought you were in a meeting with ric , and then when i found ric , i saw that his big powwow was with cameron webber , so you could have been in a meeting with luke . julian : oh , just because ric was n't with spencer , you think i was ? alexis : julian , give him a break . they lost their son -- patrick and sabrina . just tell me . are you working for luke ? julian : [ sighs ] i swear to you on my life and sam 's life and everything holy ... i am not working for luke spencer . [ scene_break ] franco : hmm . what would i do if i were to find out that carly is still lying to me and carrying on with sonny behind my back ? that 's a very interesting question . nina : i know . i know . it 's very interesting . that 's why i asked . franco : well , for starters , um , i do have some information , and if that information were to come out , it would make both sonny and carly very unhappy . nina : you have information ? franco : yes . let 's just say that it would basically ensure that the rest of their lives kind of sucked . but that 's just , you know , off the top of my head . nina : is that the only thing you thought of ? franco : well , i could probably come up with some more if it were necessary . but i really do hope that it 's not . there 's only one way to find out , though . sonny : well , hey . if not coffee , can i get something else to drink ? franco : well , there you go . she 's with sonny right now . carly : i think ... i really think you need to go . nina : that 's good . she told him to go . sonny : can you at least give me a kiss goodbye ? [ scene_break ] kiki : what do you mean ? you were there at the penthouse when aj was shot ? you said you were in new york . ava : i know . that was to create a cover so it would be less likely for the police to find out the truth . morgan : so what 's the truth ? ava : well , i was in new york to see my mother , but i got back that afternoon . after the shooting , i went back to the city , and i spent the night there . kiki : you ca n't just say , `` after the shooting `` and leave it at that . you have to tell us what really happened . ava : [ sighs ] i will spare you both the gory details . the bottom line is that sonny wanted to pay aj back for killing connie , and he shot him right in front of me . morgan : this -- this does n't make sense . how -- my dad would n't shoot aj . i mean , nothing means more to that man than his honor and his code , and he promised michael that he would not touch him . ava : i 'm sorry , morgan . aj was antagonizing him , and sonny just snapped . he broke his promise ... and he 's been lying to michael about it ever since . [ scene_break ] shawn : if you 're so anxious to get out of here , no sense in causing any unnecessary casualties . how about we let the girl go ? what 's your name ? rosalie : rosalie . shawn : why do n't we let rosalie go , and the three of us can handle our business ? kobe : no one 's going anywhere . michael : she 's no threat to you , okay ? just be reasonable about this . kobe : i told you to shut up ! rosalie : no ! kobe : you , too , bitch ! shawn : how 's this gon na work out for you , man , hmm ? 'cause as soon as you pull that trigger , you 're dead . this scenario only ends up with me putting a bullet in you . kobe : yeah , that may be , but i 'm gon na take sonny 's kid with me . i said do n't move ! [ both grunting ] [ gunshot ] rosalie : oh , my god . oh , god . oh . oh , god . is he dead ? did you kill him ? michael : it 's okay , rosalie . shawn : michael . rosalie : [ sobbing ] michael : i 'm okay . shawn : why do n't you calm rosalie down ? i 'll take care of this . he 's dead . rosalie : oh , crap . oh , crap . crap ! crap ! that was -- that was self - defense . that was n't murder . michael : just breathe . breathe . breathe . everything 's okay . you 're not hurt . everything 's okay . rosalie : [ panting ] what the hell just happened ? michael : you have nothing to worry about . everything 's okay . rosalie : no , that son of a bitch just tried to kill you . he was gon na kill me , too . michael : he 's dead . he ca n't hurt you . rosalie : oh , what am i gon na do ? what am i gon na -- you gon na call the cops ? oh , crap . am i gon na have to testify or something ? michael : no , no , no . i 'm sorry this happened to you , and i 'm gon na fix it . i 'm gon na fix it . rosalie : you 're gon na fix this ? you 're gon na fix this ? michael : it 's okay . rosalie : there 's a dead guy in your living room . how are you gon na fix this ? michael : come here . shawn , call my dad . tell him we have a situation . [ scene_break ] tracy : the night of nikolas and britt 's engagement party , i found luke in the stables . he was ... with julian . patrick : spencer said he was hiding in the stables when he overheard luke talking to somebody about taking down sonny . lulu : okay , yeah , this begs a lot more questions than it answers . patrick : well , there 's got to be something to spencer 's story . why would anna be investigating luke ? lulu : anna is investigating my father because of patrick 's crash ? patrick : no , she 's investigating luke on a different matter , but she ca n't give us details about it . she actually said that dante 's the one that 's looking into it . dante : yeah . well , i know something about that . [ scene_break ] julian : i answered your question . alexis : yes , you did . i 'm just not sure that i believe you . julian : well , all i can give you is my word . alexis : that 's right . so , um , thank you for answering the question . [ sighs ] and that 's it . julian : [ sighs ] hold on a second . is that the only reason for this visit ? alexis : what ? julian : well , sam could have come talked to me herself , but you decided to do it for her . why is that ? alexis : because i thought that i would have a better chance of getting the answer from you . julian : no , no . i do n't buy that . alexis : you do n't ? julian : mnh . i mean , have n't we both had enough of these pretenses -- pretending like we do n't care about each other ? and when i saw you last night , i felt something . so did you . it did n't matter that you were on a date with another man . so , no matter how much you try to deny it , you want to be with me , and that 's the real reason why you came here today . so now i want you to answer my question honestly . can you deny that you want to be with me ? [ scene_break ] ava : morgan , this is why i could n't tell you the truth . i 'm so sorry . but do you understand now -- both of you ? i moved into sonny 's house , because i did n't have a choice . he thought i would leave town with the baby . morgan : would you have done that ? 'cause that baby might be mine . would you have just disappeared and not let me see the kid ? ava : sonny wants me dead because i 'm the only witness to him shooting aj . he needs to ensure that i will never reveal his crime . the only thing protecting me is this baby . his plan is to keep me locked up until i give birth and then murder me . kiki : okay , so what about the time in between aj getting shot and you getting pregnant ? why did n't he just kill you then ? ava : i tried to prove my loyalty to sonny . i tried to stay in his good graces . but it did n't last long . he made it perfectly clear to me that i was living on borrowed time . he does n't want me to ever be able to testify against him . he was ready to kill me in puerto rico until i told him i was pregnant . kiki : do you have proof ? ava : p - proof ? kiki : you say that you were in the penthouse when aj was shot . you admit that you got carlos to confess to a murder that he did n't commit , but what you ca n't prove is that sonny was the one who shot aj . ava : kiki ... i swear it . kiki : like you swore to me that -- that franco was my father ? you will lie about anything at any time . ava : no ! not about this . kiki : oh , and you knew that morgan and i would n't help you if you were the one who shot aj , so you turned it around and said that sonny did it . [ scene_break ] sonny : ava used you to get to me and the organization . i - i think you know that . you 're not the only one . she played me for months , and she goaded me into doing something terrible , and then she held it over my head . [ scene_break ] morgan : kiki , your mom 's telling the truth . kiki : [ sighs ] okay , believe her because you want to believe her . morgan : no . no , my dad -- my dad told me that she witnessed something he did -- something that he regretted -- something that you were holding over his head . he did it . he killed aj . that 's the secret that you two were keeping . you two were the only ones that knew about it , and that 's what bonded you together . ava : yeah . but i 'm not the only person who knows . kiki : who else ? ava : well , the two of you know now , obviously . but there 's another person who knows . your mother . [ scene_break ] franco : she 's not saying anything . why is she not saying anything ? nina : just give her a chance to answer . carly : i told you i 'm marrying franco . sonny : well , that 's not an answer to my question . i just -- can you just -- can you just give me one kiss goodbye ? [ cell phone rings ] sonny : i 'm sorry . i just got to ... shawn , is this about ava ? what about michael ? what happened ? shawn : hey , i 'm at michael 's apartment . yeah , there 's been a situation . no , michael 's okay , but , uh , you 'd better get down here . [ scene_break ] julian : [ sighs ] alexis : [ sighs ] julian : you know what ? [ sighs ] i 'm not doing this . [ scene_break ] patrick : look , dante , i - i know that you ca n't give us confidential police information , but if your investigation into luke has anything to do with the accident or meeting with jerome , i 'd really appreciate you giving us anything you can help us with . dante : i ca n't tell you much , but what i can tell you is what i told them . we have an undercover who was on the phone with who they thought was a known jerome associate , and it sounded like luke 's voice . sam : okay , so there could be something to our theory . dante : it 's possible . patrick : so , what do we do now ? dante : well , we have a plan in motion . we got tracy trying to get ahold of luke . tracy : i left him a message , and now all we have to do is wait for him to reply . [ scene_break ] morgan : no , how could my mom know that my dad shot aj ? ava : apparently , aj told her on his deathbed . morgan : because my mom was -- she was the only one in the room when he regained consciousness before he died . ava : right . and with his last breath , he told carly who his killer was , and she 's kept it to herself ever since . we 're all well aware of carly 's loyalty to sonny . kiki : how could she keep something like this from michael ? ava : carly and sonny talked about it . they decided that if michael found out , it would destroy him , so they decided he should never know . kiki : that is not their decision to make . michael deserves to know the truth . he has a right to know that sonny is the man who killed his father . [ scene_break ] michael : um , i 'm not much of a drinker , so there 's no scotch in the house . so ... rosalie : oh . that 's better than nothing . [ sighs ] how -- how are you so calm ? michael : i plan to freak out any minute . i just want to thank you first . you -- you saved my life . rosalie : yeah , um , i think you have that the other way around . michael : no , you distracted him , and you gave me a chance to get my hand on the gun . rosalie : well ... [ clears throat ] you 're welcome , i guess . [ chuckles ] michael : so , when you -- when you -- when you freaked out -- when you freaked out , was that , uh -- was that real , or was it an act ? rosalie : um , a little of both , i guess . i mean , i had to do something , right ? [ exhales deeply ] so , uh , do you -- do you regularly have people coming over to shoot you ? michael : it 's the first time in a while . rosalie : well , you should , uh -- you should probably post a warning or something , you know , so people know better than to visit . michael : yeah , i 'm really sorry this happened to you . rosalie : [ chuckling ] you know , the funny thing is that , um , i - i thought your brother was the wild one . michael : oh , he is . i 'm -- i 'm -- i 'm pretty boring . ask anyone . sonny : what happened ? shawn : michael 's inside . he 's safe . carly : [ sighs ] sonny : okay . shawn : we should do this inside . carly : michael . are you okay ? michael : i 'm okay . carly : what the hell happened here ? shawn : well , this guy came out of the blue . said he had a contract to kill michael . carly : what ? michael : i 'm -- i 'm okay . i 'm fine . sonny : you took him out ? shawn : michael did . carly : no . michael . no ! michael : everything 's okay . sonny : i need to know exactly what 's happening , and , uh , how does she fit in here ? michael : rosalie came here to visit . this guy showed up . he pulled out a gun . he was about to pull the trigger when shawn showed up . sonny : okay . how did you know this was happening ? shawn : i got a tip that someone was after michael , and i got here as fast as i could , and the guy had him at gunpoint . michael : yeah , if shawn did n't show up when he did , rosalie and i would be dead . sonny : shawn , thank you for protecting my son . shawn : look , i 'm just glad i got here on time . sonny : who is this piece of garbage ? michael : uh , he was about to tell me who he worked for when shawn burst in .

[ scene_break ] morgan : kiki , okay , i - i get what you 're saying about mikey 's right to know , and -- and normally , i would agree , but if michael found out that our dad killed aj and that our mom helped him , it would kill him . it would kill him . michael 's been through a lot , kiki -- a lot of crap you would n't even believe -- but this -- this would destroy something inside of him . kiki : he 's going to see that sonny and carly betrayed him . morgan : no . if we tell michael , he will hate both of my parents . it will destroy his relationship with both of them forever . [ scene_break ] rosalie : so , what happens now ? sonny : well , that 's what we 're gon na discuss . okay , it 's important for you to understand nothing happened here . michael : dad , rosalie 's been through a lot . sonny : my son saved your life , did n't he ? rosalie : yeah . sonny : that man would have killed you both if -- if michael did n't take that gun . rosalie : is that what you want me to tell the police ? 'cause i will . that 's exactly what happened . it was self - defense . sonny : the police are n't coming , okay ? there 's nothing to investigate . there 's no body . there 's no gun . the important thing is ... michael did n't kill anyone . are we clear ? rosalie : yeah . perfectly clear . sonny : all right , i 'm gon na have , uh , shawn take you home . if you have any questions -- if you need to , uh -- anything , uh , my office is on the third floor of the metro court hotel . rosalie : i do n't -- [ clears throat ] i do n't think i 'm gon na have any concerns . sonny : well , if you need anything -- you just -- you know where to find me . michael : okay , well , uh , i 'll walk you to the door . it 's three feet , but still . hey , um , look , everything 's gon na be okay . nothing 's gon na happen to you . i promise . rosalie : i believe you .

[ scene_break ] nina : listen , i think that you are correct to , um , assume that it was n't sonny and carly 's only night together , based on all that history that you mentioned to me before , but , um , how are you gon na find out one way or the other ? franco : well , i 'm gon na have a front - row view of every move that carly makes between now and when she says , `` i do . `` nina : i understand your desire to keep tabs on someone you love . i mean , believe me -- i understand . but how are you gon na watch carly every moment of the day ? franco : with this .

[ scene_break ] carly : [ sighs ] okay , you 're right . ava 's a wild card . she knows too much damning information -- not just about what you did , but my part in it . i mean , if michael ever found out that i knew , he 'd hold me just as accountable as you , so ...

[ scene_break ] morgan : what ? that 's crazy . kiki : we know who shot aj -- carlos rivera . this is why i wanted to hear your whole story before agreeing to help you . you lie so easily , especially when you 're using it to get yourself off the hook . you must be out of practice , though , because your story has a gaping hole in it . carlos confessed . ava : carlos confessed because i asked him to . kiki : you got a man to confess to a murder that he did n't commit ? mom , the guy is in prison for life . how did you manage that one ? ava : i gave him some incentive . [ scene_break ] shawn : let him go . kobe : yeah , i do n't think so , butler . that 's right -- i know you 're sonny 's number - one guy . funny how you showed up right as i was about to earn my money . it 's almost like you knew i was gon na be here . so tell me -- how , exactly , did you end up in the right place at the right time ? shawn : i just had to talk to michael about something . kobe : no . you came in here ready for trouble . who gave me up ? because i can think of only one person who could have tipped you off . julian : it 's interesting . this is what you want to know ? alexis : yes , this is what i want to know . are you working for luke ? julian : [ sighs ] you know , the entire reason you broke up with me is because you found out i was still in the business . you want nothing to do with it -- consequently , nothing to do with me . alexis : i needed to protect my family . someone torched my house . i did n't want my children hurt . what was i supposed to do ? julian : i accept that . that 's fine . but if you 're going to deny me the pleasure of your company , then you do n't get to ask how i spend my time , which includes who i report to . you lost that right when you walk away from me . alexis : all right , look . you 're right . you are no longer accountable to me , but i am not asking for me . i am asking for our daughter .

[ scene_break ] julian : i do n't get it . you just said your whole goal is to keep your daughters away from my business . so what does sam have to do with you asking who i work for ? alexis : sam and patrick are trying to find out who 's responsible for running patrick and his family off the road . julian : and you think that has something to do with me and the possibility that i work for luke spencer ? alexis : julian , just stop it and answer the question . who is your boss ? julian : [ sighs ] [ scene_break ] tracy : i can not believe the two of you are seriously accusing luke of this terrible crime . patrick , i - i - i am so sorry for your loss . i - i ca n't even begin to imagine how traumatic it is , but it does n't give you license to go around making baseless accusations . patrick : they 're not baseless , tracy . dante : let 's just hear what they have to say . tracy : i do n't need to hear what they have to say . i am painfully aware of luke 's role in little jake 's death , but that was an accident -- one that luke deeply regretted . to think that he would possibly endanger a child 's life is ridiculous . lulu : i - i mean , it -- it ca n't be true . sam : look , i know it 's really hard to believe , but this is n't something that we would just pull out of thin air . i mean , we -- we would never come here and question your father 's character because of a random theory . lulu : well , then what makes you so sure ? patrick : we have a source . tracy : who ? [ scene_break ] nina : hmm . um , so , you put a camera in a necklace that you gave to carly , so you could see what she 's doing while you 're not there ? franco : yeah . nina : you 're spying on your new fiancée . franco : no , i 'm being proactive . you 're the one who said that she was lying . nina : well , i said that , um , you know , to help you -- help you so you could confront carly , so you could get everything out in the open , and not so you could go all `` spy vs. spy `` on her . franco : i do n't have a choice . it 's the only way i can know for sure if she 's done with sonny . nina : and if she is done with sonny ? franco : well , then the wedding goes ahead as planned . nina : and if she is n't ? what will you do then ? [ scene_break ] sonny : okay , so well , i guess we 'll just wait , uh , to hear from shawn and maybe have some coffee . you still have that cappuccino machine that i gave you ? carly : i never learned how to use it , and that 's why you gave it to me . sonny : mm . carly : yeah , you wanted to mock my less - than - stellar cooking skills . sonny : `` less than stellar `` ? i did n't know it had improved from `` nonexistent . `` carly : really ? sonny : [ chuckles ] no , i did n't ask you for the coffee for you to make it . i want to see the machine 'cause i 'll do the honors . remember when i used to , every morning , make you coffee ? you 'd be sleeping so beautiful , and the aroma of the coffee would wake you up . and you 'd give me that smile -- that beautiful smile that you 'd only give to me . carly : thank you for the update . um , if there 's nothing else , you need to go . sonny : why do i have to leave ? carly : bec -- you know ! do n't do this ! i 'm not playing this game with you , sonny . sonny : you really want to marry this freak ? he tried to destroy jason 's life . he set our son up to be attacked . carly : he was sick , sonny , and he had a brain tumor . sonny : ah , brain tu -- i know of the brain tumor . but he also almost told michael that i shot aj because he was angry at me . he did n't care that it would hurt michael . carly : he had a moment of weakness , and he said he was never gon na do it again . he promised me he was never gon na do it again . sonny : do you really think franco takes promises seriously ? i mean , look at -- look at -- look at -- he -- he asked you to pledge your life to him . did he buy you a ring ? is that a moment of weakness ? carly : shut up ! he loves me , and i love him , and you know what ? he gave me this . sonny : what the hell is that ? carly : it 's a necklace , sonny , and it 's called the evil eye . sonny : oh , that 's a perfect gift from the king of evil . carly : you do n't get it . no , it 's supposed to ward off evil . sonny : well , it 's not working 'cause franco 's still around . [ scene_break ] kiki : what do you mean you gave carlos an incentive ? what kind of an incentive causes a man to confess to murder ? ava : i always tried to shield you from the business when you were growing up , so it makes sense that you would n't understand . morgan : okay , then explain it to us . ava : there is a reason they call organizations like mine a family . i 've known carlos for a very long time . he 's always been quite loyal ... to a fault , some might say . so he took one for the team and confessed to sonny 's crime . morgan : okay , if my dad really did kill aj , then how could you possibly know about it ? ava : because i was there when michael 's father was shot . [ scene_break ] shawn : it does n't matter why i 'm here . all that matters is you 're not gon na get away with this . kobe : i 'm the one with the gun in the hostage 's side , so i 'm the one who says who 's going to get away with what . michael : okay , just lower your gun , walk out the door , and shawn will not shoot you . you have my word . rosalie : come on ! do it ! just get out ! forget why you came here and go before this gets any worse . kobe : shut up before i pull the trigger ! michael : you do n't have to be the one who dies here . just leave now . kobe : how about shawn leaves instead ? we 're the same -- you and me . hired guns . so why do n't you run along back to your boss and let me finish my business ? [ scene_break ] tracy : [ laughs ] spencer cassadine is your source ? sam : he said that luke told him . tracy : luke told a child that he ran patrick off the road ? patrick : not exactly , no . lulu : well , then what , exactly ? i mean , how can my father be responsible for this accident ? sam : um , let me explain this . on the night of nikolas and britt 's engagement party , spencer said that he overheard luke plotting against sonny , and then he got scared for his uncle , so he skipped school , and he went to go see luke . and when he confronted luke about it , luke threatened to hurt emma in order to keep spencer quiet . patrick : not long after that , rafe drove us off the road . spencer said that he called luke to tell him that , `` yes , i 'm gon na stay quiet , `` and that 's when luke told spencer that he caused the accident . he did it on purpose to keep him quiet . lulu : spencer has been known to embroider the truth . you think that this could be a bid for attention , like when he ran away for a few days ? sam : we thought about that , as well , but he was truly frightened when he said this to us , and i - i really believe that he believes that he 's telling the truth . dante : so , spencer heard luke plotting against sonny ? who was he plotting with ? sam : well , we 're trying to figure that out now . my mom 's actually working on it with us . we think it 's julian . what ? patrick : what ? what 's that mean ? sam : what ? do you not think that julian met with luke ? lulu : um , actually -- uh , we know that he did . [ scene_break ] julian : i 'm sorry . this does n't make any sense . why would you think i was working for luke spencer ? you know i was working for lansing . how could i be working for luke spencer at the same time ? alexis : at nikolas ' engagement party to britt -- julian : oh , the party you only asked me to , because you were trying to get information out of me ? alexis : i thought you were in a meeting with ric , and then when i found ric , i saw that his big powwow was with cameron webber , so you could have been in a meeting with luke . julian : oh , just because ric was n't with spencer , you think i was ? alexis : julian , give him a break . they lost their son -- patrick and sabrina . just tell me . are you working for luke ? julian : [ sighs ] i swear to you on my life and sam 's life and everything holy ... i am not working for luke spencer . [ scene_break ] franco : hmm . what would i do if i were to find out that carly is still lying to me and carrying on with sonny behind my back ? that 's a very interesting question . nina : i know . i know . it 's very interesting . that 's why i asked . franco : well , for starters , um , i do have some information , and if that information were to come out , it would make both sonny and carly very unhappy . nina : you have information ? franco : yes . let 's just say that it would basically ensure that the rest of their lives kind of sucked . but that 's just , you know , off the top of my head . nina : is that the only thing you thought of ? franco : well , i could probably come up with some more if it were necessary . but i really do hope that it 's not . there 's only one way to find out , though . sonny : well , hey . if not coffee , can i get something else to drink ? franco : well , there you go . she 's with sonny right now . carly : i think ... i really think you need to go . nina : that 's good . she told him to go . sonny : can you at least give me a kiss goodbye ? [ scene_break ] kiki : what do you mean ? you were there at the penthouse when aj was shot ? you said you were in new york . ava : i know . that was to create a cover so it would be less likely for the police to find out the truth . morgan : so what 's the truth ? ava : well , i was in new york to see my mother , but i got back that afternoon . after the shooting , i went back to the city , and i spent the night there . kiki : you ca n't just say , `` after the shooting `` and leave it at that . you have to tell us what really happened . ava : [ sighs ] i will spare you both the gory details . the bottom line is that sonny wanted to pay aj back for killing connie , and he shot him right in front of me . morgan : this -- this does n't make sense . how -- my dad would n't shoot aj . i mean , nothing means more to that man than his honor and his code , and he promised michael that he would not touch him . ava : i 'm sorry , morgan . aj was antagonizing him , and sonny just snapped . he broke his promise ... and he 's been lying to michael about it ever since . [ scene_break ] shawn : if you 're so anxious to get out of here , no sense in causing any unnecessary casualties . how about we let the girl go ? what 's your name ? rosalie : rosalie . shawn : why do n't we let rosalie go , and the three of us can handle our business ? kobe : no one 's going anywhere . michael : she 's no threat to you , okay ? just be reasonable about this . kobe : i told you to shut up ! rosalie : no ! kobe : you , too , bitch ! shawn : how 's this gon na work out for you , man , hmm ? 'cause as soon as you pull that trigger , you 're dead . this scenario only ends up with me putting a bullet in you . kobe : yeah , that may be , but i 'm gon na take sonny 's kid with me . i said do n't move !

[ sighs ] and that 's it . julian : [ sighs ] hold on a second . is that the only reason for this visit ? alexis : what ? julian : well , sam could have come talked to me herself , but you decided to do it for her . why is that ? alexis : because i thought that i would have a better chance of getting the answer from you . julian : no , no . i do n't buy that . alexis : you do n't ? julian : mnh . i mean , have n't we both had enough of these pretenses -- pretending like we do n't care about each other ? and when i saw you last night , i felt something . so did you . it did n't matter that you were on a date with another man . so , no matter how much you try to deny it , you want to be with me , and that 's the real reason why you came here today . so now i want you to answer my question honestly . can you deny that you want to be with me ? [ scene_break ] ava : morgan , this is why i could n't tell you the truth . i 'm so sorry . but do you understand now -- both of you ? i moved into sonny 's house , because i did n't have a choice . he thought i would leave town with the baby . morgan : would you have done that ? 'cause that baby might be mine . would you have just disappeared and not let me see the kid ? ava : sonny wants me dead because i 'm the only witness to him shooting aj . he needs to ensure that i will never reveal his crime . the only thing protecting me is this baby . his plan is to keep me locked up until i give birth and then murder me . kiki : okay , so what about the time in between aj getting shot and you getting pregnant ? why did n't he just kill you then ? ava : i tried to prove my loyalty to sonny . i tried to stay in his good graces . but it did n't last long . he made it perfectly clear to me that i was living on borrowed time . he does n't want me to ever be able to testify against him . he was ready to kill me in puerto rico until i told him i was pregnant . kiki : do you have proof ? ava : p - proof ? kiki : you say that you were in the penthouse when aj was shot . you admit that you got carlos to confess to a murder that he did n't commit , but what you ca n't prove is that sonny was the one who shot aj . ava : kiki ... i swear it . kiki : like you swore to me that -- that franco was my father ? you will lie about anything at any time . ava : no ! not about this . kiki : oh , and you knew that morgan and i would n't help you if you were the one who shot aj , so you turned it around and said that sonny did it . [ scene_break ] sonny : ava used you to get to me and the organization . i - i think you know that . you 're not the only one . she played me for months , and she goaded me into doing something terrible , and then she held it over my head . [ scene_break ] morgan : kiki , your mom 's telling the truth . kiki : [ sighs ] okay , believe her because you want to believe her . morgan : no . no , my dad -- my dad told me that she witnessed something he did -- something that he regretted -- something that you were holding over his head . he did it . he killed aj . that 's the secret that you two were keeping . you two were the only ones that knew about it , and that 's what bonded you together . ava : yeah . but i 'm not the only person who knows . kiki : who else ? ava : well , the two of you know now , obviously . but there 's another person who knows . your mother . [ scene_break ] franco : she 's not saying anything . why is she not saying anything ? nina : just give her a chance to answer . carly : i told you i 'm marrying franco . sonny : well , that 's not an answer to my question . i just -- can you just -- can you just give me one kiss goodbye ? [ cell phone rings ] sonny : i 'm sorry . i just got to ... shawn , is this about ava ? what about michael ? what happened ? shawn : hey , i 'm at michael 's apartment . yeah , there 's been a situation . no , michael 's okay , but , uh , you 'd better get down here . [ scene_break ] julian : [ sighs ] alexis : [ sighs ] julian : you know what ? [ sighs ] i 'm not doing this . [ scene_break ] patrick : look , dante , i - i know that you ca n't give us confidential police information , but if your investigation into luke has anything to do with the accident or meeting with jerome , i 'd really appreciate you giving us anything you can help us with . dante : i ca n't tell you much , but what i can tell you is what i told them . we have an undercover who was on the phone with who they thought was a known jerome associate , and it sounded like luke 's voice . sam : okay , so there could be something to our theory . dante : it 's possible . patrick : so , what do we do now ? dante : well , we have a plan in motion . we got tracy trying to get ahold of luke . tracy : i left him a message , and now all we have to do is wait for him to reply . [ scene_break ] morgan : no , how could my mom know that my dad shot aj ? ava : apparently , aj told her on his deathbed . morgan : because my mom was -- she was the only one in the room when he regained consciousness before he died . ava : right . and with his last breath , he told carly who his killer was , and she 's kept it to herself ever since . we 're all well aware of carly 's loyalty to sonny . kiki : how could she keep something like this from michael ? ava : carly and sonny talked about it . they decided that if michael found out , it would destroy him , so they decided he should never know . kiki : that is not their decision to make . michael deserves to know the truth . he has a right to know that sonny is the man who killed his father . [ scene_break ] michael : um , i 'm not much of a drinker , so there 's no scotch in the house . so ... rosalie : oh . that 's better than nothing . [ sighs ] how -- how are you so calm ? michael : i plan to freak out any minute . i just want to thank you first . you -- you saved my life . rosalie : yeah , um , i think you have that the other way around . michael : no , you distracted him , and you gave me a chance to get my hand on the gun . rosalie : well ... [ clears throat ] you 're welcome , i guess . [ chuckles ] michael : so , when you -- when you -- when you freaked out -- when you freaked out , was that , uh -- was that real , or was it an act ? rosalie : um , a little of both , i guess . i mean , i had to do something , right ? [ exhales deeply ] so , uh , do you -- do you regularly have people coming over to shoot you ? michael : it 's the first time in a while . rosalie : well , you should , uh -- you should probably post a warning or something , you know , so people know better than to visit . michael : yeah , i 'm really sorry this happened to you . rosalie : [ chuckling ] you know , the funny thing is that , um , i - i thought your brother was the wild one . michael : oh , he is . i 'm -- i 'm -- i 'm pretty boring . ask anyone . sonny : what happened ? shawn : michael 's inside . he 's safe . carly : [ sighs ] sonny : okay . shawn : we should do this inside . carly : michael . are you okay ? michael : i 'm okay . carly : what the hell happened here ? shawn : well , this guy came out of the blue . said he had a contract to kill michael . carly : what ? michael : i 'm -- i 'm okay . i 'm fine . sonny : you took him out ? shawn : michael did . carly : no . michael . no ! michael : everything 's okay . sonny : i need to know exactly what 's happening , and , uh , how does she fit in here ? michael : rosalie came here to visit . this guy showed up . he pulled out a gun . he was about to pull the trigger when shawn showed up . sonny : okay . how did you know this was happening ? shawn : i got a tip that someone was after michael , and i got here as fast as i could , and the guy had him at gunpoint . michael : yeah , if shawn did n't show up when he did , rosalie and i would be dead . sonny : shawn , thank you for protecting my son . shawn : look , i 'm just glad i got here on time . sonny : who is this piece of garbage ? michael : uh , he was about to tell me who he worked for when shawn burst in . [ scene_break ] nina : okay , that -- we 're just gon na do with this . franco : what are you doing ? nina : what do you -- franco : is this keep - away ? nina : come and get it if you want . franco : we 're in public , but do n't think i wo n't . nina : [ chuckles ] listen . just hold on , all right ? you 're not getting your phone back . carly and sonny -- they did n't kiss each other . franco : yeah , we do n't know that because you took the phone away from me before we could really find out . nina : he said , `` i want a kiss . `` she said , `` no , i 'm marrying franco . `` did you not hear her say , `` i 'm marrying franco `` ? franco : well , i - i heard that , but -- nina : but -- but -- but -- but nothing . you said you were only going to act if carly was cheating on you , and she 's not cheating on you . franco : well , not at this particular moment . nina : at this particular moment , franco , you 're acting kind of crazy . franco : [ scoffs ] oh -- oh , okay . yeah , no , i am . the -- the lady who 's pretending that she needs to be in a wheelchair is calling me crazy . nina : okay , i 'm gon na say this to you as your friend . as your friend , as your pal , you need to stop . you need to stop before you go off the deep end , because you may not be able to come back . [ scene_break ] morgan : kiki , okay , i - i get what you 're saying about mikey 's right to know , and -- and normally , i would agree , but if michael found out that our dad killed aj and that our mom helped him , it would kill him . it would kill him . michael 's been through a lot , kiki -- a lot of crap you would n't even believe -- but this -- this would destroy something inside of him . kiki : he 's going to see that sonny and carly betrayed him . morgan : no . if we tell michael , he will hate both of my parents . it will destroy his relationship with both of them forever . [ scene_break ] rosalie : so , what happens now ? sonny : well , that 's what we 're gon na discuss . okay , it 's important for you to understand nothing happened here . michael : dad , rosalie 's been through a lot . sonny : my son saved your life , did n't he ? rosalie : yeah . sonny : that man would have killed you both if -- if michael did n't take that gun . rosalie : is that what you want me to tell the police ? 'cause i will . that 's exactly what happened . it was self - defense . sonny : the police are n't coming , okay ? there 's nothing to investigate . there 's no body . there 's no gun . the important thing is ... michael did n't kill anyone . are we clear ? rosalie : yeah . perfectly clear . sonny : all right , i 'm gon na have , uh , shawn take you home . if you have any questions -- if you need to , uh -- anything , uh , my office is on the third floor of the metro court hotel . rosalie : i do n't -- [ clears throat ] i do n't think i 'm gon na have any concerns . sonny : well , if you need anything -- you just -- you know where to find me . michael : okay , well , uh , i 'll walk you to the door . it 's three feet , but still . hey , um , look , everything 's gon na be okay . nothing 's gon na happen to you . i promise . rosalie : i believe you .

liam : hell , yeah , i hold him responsible . oh . ah -- mmmm . okay . yes and no . wyatt : okay . liam : because the kiss is on me . but everything leading up to that was thomas . i mean , he 's been scheming and manipulating from the beginning , and he 's still scheming and manipulating . wyatt : yeah , and he 's gon na try and take advantage of your separation from hope , too . liam : of course . of course . think about it . he knows about the kiss . wyatt : mm - hmm . liam : he knows i 've been staying at steffy 's . in the guest bedroom . but whatever . he 's still gon na make a bigger deal out of that than it is . wyatt : but hope 's gon na see right through that , do n't you think ? liam : i do n't -- i do n't think it 's gon na stop thomas . i -- i think he 's gon na -- he 's gon na create doubt . he 's gon na play on her insecurities . and all the while , he 's gon na keep , you know , reminding her of how much his little boy needs her and what a big happy family they are . wyatt : and so where does that leave zoe in all of this ? liam : i -- for my money , he 's just using her , and the minute she stops being useful , he 's gon na dump her . wyatt : that poor girl . liam : yeah . but my primary concern is hope , and once i 'm out of the way , thomas is just gon na be more embolden , and that -- that freaks me out . thomas : you spiked brooke 's juice . i ca n't believe you would actually -- itither . it 's so not me . thomas : well , it 's exactly you . it 's just you before you married my granddad . i mean , since then , you 've been practically a saint . okay , that 's stretching it . but you have n't self - sabotaged in a while . why now ? quinn : i do n't know . something about brooke -- she just brings out the worst in me . thomas : okay . join the crowd . but you do n't see me lacing any of her drinks with alcohol . all right ? that 's going too far . quinn : really ? you wan na know what 's going too far ? is her showing up in my living room , slapping my best friend , and telling my husband to kick me to the curb . thomas : granddad would never do that . he loves you too much . quinn : yeah , but eric has this annoyingly soft , gooey place in his heart for brooke , and all she has to do is turn on the waterworks and he 's putty in her hands . thomas : it 's frustrating , i know , but to retaliate the way you did ... quinn : ho -- whoa . what is with this attitude ? because brooke has been on your case since she discovered that you were in cahoots with reese buckingham . thomas : i was not in cahoots with buckingham . i never even met the guy . but if you 're saying that i have reason to be as frustrated with brooke as you are , okay . quinn : yeah . thomas : she has n't been easy on me . quinn : oh , no , no . she 's made your life a living hell . so what are you gon na do about it ? thomas : you 'd be surprised . but i have n't made the mistake that you have . quinn : [ laughs ] what mistake ? oh , please do n't tell me that you are n't dying to see brooke be a drunken mess again . thomas : that is the absolute last thing i would want . think about it , quinn . my dad has always been brooke 's knight in shining armor . if she started drinking again , he would come riding in to save her . and him and shauna , they 'd be done forever . thomas : and think about you . if granddad found out , you would lose him and everything forrester forever . quinn : okay . okay . all right . i get it . i -- i may have acted impulsively . but what matters is -- thomas : what matters is that moving forward , we deal with brooke together , okay ? no going rogue . quinn : [ laughs ] you wan na team up with me ? thomas : two 's better than oe , especially when the two are you and me . but you ca n't be spiking any more of her drinks . okay ? you 're gon na ruin all the hard work i 've done . quinn : what hard work ? thomas : hello . my dad and brooke , they 're not living together anymore . they 've signed divorce papers . sure , they have n't filed them yet , but that is going to happen . just like hope and i are going to happen . brooke : you had no right taking advantage of the situation . you had no right kissing liam the way you did . yes , i know that you still love him . but he just proposed to hope . so obviously you do n't respect their relationship . steffy : i respect their relationship , brooke . brooke : how ? by moving liam in the next day ? you made yourself and your home available to him . hope : mom . brooke : well , it 's true , is n't it , honey ? i mean , liam is staying at steffy 's . steffy : in the guestroom , in case you need reminding . he is kelly 's father , and he 's more than welcome to stay at my house . brooke : i do n't have a problem with that , but i do have a problem with you putting your lips on his every time hope and liam have an issue . come on , steffy . ca n't you just restrain yourself instead of causing all of these problems ? look , this is n't my first rodeo ... brooke : why , liam ? i ca n't believe that you would do something like this -- that you would kiss steffy . that 's hurtful . you 've got ta fix this . you have to go to hope and you have to fix this . and go to your daughter . move out of steffy 's . liam : brooke , you have to listen -- brooke : i do n't blame you . i do n't even blame steffy , even though she might think i do . but there is one person that has his manipulative hands all over this , and that 's thomas . quinn : so you 've never given up on hope , even though you 've done your best to try and convince the entire planet that you have . thomas : really ? that 's what you think i said ? quinn : [ laughs ] okay . let 's play . knew what ? thomas : the latest about my sister and liam . things have changed . quinn : what 's changed ? thomas : there was a kiss . hope saw . quinn : hope saw liam and steffy kissing ? thomas : you can imagine the fallout . not only are hope and liam done , but liam 's back at steffy 's , living with her and his daughter , kelly . quinn : oh , wow . and you must be one happy boy . thomas : try thrilled . quinn : [ laughs ] thomas : he 's finally over there , exactly where he should be -- with kelly . she has her mother and her father in the same home . it 's the way it always should 've been . quinn : hmm . and this , of course , has absolutely nothing to do with you and how you wan na get hope back . thomas : well , there is that . quinn : ah . so i 'm right . this is about hope . oh . uh , zoe who ? thomas : hey , hey . i -- i like zoe . all right ? she 's -- she 's hot . she 's fun . she 's -- she 's a good person . and you know what ? if -- if there was no hope , who knows what would happen . but now that hope and liam are done ... quinn : it just sets you up to swoop back in and make hope yours . thomas : hope will always be the woman that i want , and i have another chance to make it happen , and i will , whatever it takes .

will : sonny and i are not going to lecture you anymore . it 's your life , and only you can decide what happens with nick . it 's just that with everything that happened , with everything we 've been through thinking that he was dead , i am surprised that you want to be friends with him again , but like i said , it 's your choice ... nobody else 's . gabi : well , i really appreciate you saying that . it 's a good start . but i 'm sorry . it 's not enough . nick : you ca n't fight ... what gabi and i feel , rafe . you ca n't keep us apart . what we have is too real . rafe : no , what you have , it 's a joke , it 's sick . nick : jensen tried to come between us , he messed with my mind , and he could n't do it . rafe : uh - huh ? nick : gabi and i survived that . rafe : okay . nick : as much as you 'd like to , you ca n't control what gabi feels ... rafe : we 'll see . nick : or what she does . just like you could n't control your sister ... arianna . and so she died ... tragically . and i know how guilty you feel about that . i know that you feel like if you 'd done a better job protecting her , that she 'd still be here today . rafe : right . nick : but you 're not gon na get her back by smothering gabi . just gon na make her want me more . ca n't you see that ?

oh , yeah . no , she 's jumping back in the sack with him . ej : okay . but , samantha , if gabriella has feelings for nick , then there 's nothing we can do about that . sami : there 's always something i could do . ej : such as ?

nick : you know , after -- after what happened at the river , i thought to myself that i - i wanted to stay in salem because it 's the only place that i 've ever really felt at home . i 've tried really , really hard to make that happen . gabi : i know you have . nick : but it 's stupid for me to think any of that mattered . you know ? because now , i mean , with the way people are acting , i do n't think anybody 's ever gon na accept me in this town . daniel : i do n't even know where my head 's at . if i go after theresa , she 's gon na retaliate by hurting jj , and that 's the last thing you need . jennifer : yes , i know that . but it 's not that . it 's not just jj . this is all my fault . daniel : what ? jennifer : daniel , if you never loved me , none of this would be happening to you right now . nicole : i 'm sorry . what did you say ? liam : dr. chyka . he 's the guy who kidnapped you and the priest , right ? i saw it on titan tv breaking news . you almost died . what a terrible ordeal you went through . nicole : i do n't know what that has to do with you . liam : hmm , well , everyone at the hospital was talking about it , but i did n't pay much attention to it because , well , it 's none of my business . and i like to stay out of other people 's private matters . anyway , i 'd almost forgotten about the whole thing when the most amazing thing happened . this famous tv news reporter was dumping so much garbage at this ignominious roadside rest stop . nicole : not sure what you 're getting at . liam : oh ? all that rubbish you were getting rid of , none of it had to do with dr. chyka ? nicole : of course not . liam : i think you 're lying to me , miss walker . i know that you were shredding documents pertaining to dr. chyka and , uh , what 's her name ? kristen dimera ? that 's it . and then you were recklessly setting them on fire . nicole : i was not . liam : the hell you were n't . rafe : well , thanks , but i do n't need your advice on how to look out for my sister . ej : are you sure about that ? rafe : what are you getting at , ej ? ej : i 'm telling you . you do n't want to push this any further . rafe : hmm . is that a threat ? ej : no , of course not . i 'm trying to get you to understand it 's not in gabi 's best interest , or anybody 's , for you to interfere with this matter . rafe : well , this matter is my sister 's future . ej : rafe , if you go after nick , it 's going to be counterproductive . you risk making this situation a lot more dangerous . rafe : really ? it 's funny 'cause you kind of sound like nick . you two working together on this ? ej : do i work with nick ? rafe : mm - hmm . ej : no . rafe : then what are you trying to tell me ? ej : my interest in this situation is very simple . i 'm trying to stop my family from being torn apart . rafe : by nick ? ej : yes . sami : oh , my god , what ? is gabi threatening to move in with nick ? will : or anywhere you were n't . sami : okay , well , it 's okay now , right ? you talked her out of it and talked some sense into her ? will : yes , but i had to make some pretty big promises . sami : like what ? will : like you 're not allowed to come anywhere near our place if gabi 's around . sami : what ? no ! no , you are not serious ! there is no way in hell i am letting her keep me away from my grandbaby . nick : ah ... ah . gabi : nick , i feel terrible . nick : it 's not your fault . gabi : well , my brother would have never laid a hand on you if we were n't -- [ sighs ] you know , i 'm just -- i just ca n't understand why people ca n't try to believe you 've changed . nick : because they 're never gon na change . ow , ow . they 're never gon na accept me . gabi : i mean , will and sonny are trying . nick : [ chuckles ] what makes you say that ? gabi : well , while sami was off ranting and raving and rafe was tearing off after you , will stood up to his mom and actually threw her out of our place . nick : really ? gabi : yeah . said he 's gon na tell her that she 's not welcome back . nick : how did you get him to agree ... to say that ? gabi : well , i told him that i was taking arianna and that we were moving out . nick : what ? no , no , no , no . gabi , you , um ... you ca n't do that . daniel : jennifer . if you and i are not together ... you are not to blame for any of this . i never want to hear you say that again . okay ? oh , baby , come here . we will figure out a way to deal with theresa . trust me . jennifer : yeah . wait a minute . there is something we can do . no , there 's something i can do right now . nicole : just what have you been smoking ? liam : the only thing smoking was that heap of paper . of course , you ca n't blame a guy for being curious about what was so secret that it needed to be shredded and set aflame . of course , you were sweating bullets the whole time i was trying to help you , so naturally , my suspicions were raised . so i fished a few pieces out of the pile before you came back and torched the whole thing . it took some time , but it was kind of like putting together a puzzle . i always liked puzzles . nicole : i do n't know what you think you know . liam : oh , i do know . so what do you think your ex - priest friend would think about you destroying the only information that could ever clear his name ? sorry . i 've got your number and i 'm keeping it . will : gabi 's not trying to keep you away from your granddaughter . sami : ha ! that 's exactly what she 's doing . will : i can bring ari over here to see you . that 's not a problem . gabi is tired of putting up with you attacking her over nick . sami : why is n't anyone attacking her for that ? i mean , come on ! are you really okay with her sleeping with nick in your apartment ? will : i ca n't control what gabi does , and neither can you . you are the last person she wants to hear from on the subject of being an unfit mother . and i do n't blame her . so ... i 'm going to need you to give me the key to our place right now . gabi : well , i thought you 'd want me to move out . nick : no . you 've worked way too hard to have a good relationship with will and sonny , and i want you to keep it that way . that 's why you stayed , you know ? you 're putting arianna first , the way that we all should be . gabi : i wish they could hear you right now . sometimes i think that you 're the only one out of all of them who puts arianna first . nick : that 's not true . gabi : will did say that if i wanted to spend time with you , that it 'd be totally up to me , so he 's gon na be seeing a lot of you . and maybe then he 'll realize who you really are . nick : i 'd -- i 'd love it if we could all be friends again . gabi : stranger things have happened , right ? and if will and sonny come around , then maybe my brother and the others will too . yeah ? nick : ow . gabi : oh ! nick : i can only hope . rafe : well , your family does not include my sister . ej : no , but it does include arianna grace . rafe : and i do n't need your help . ej : you have no idea . rafe : okay , then why do n't you tell me ? ej : trust me , you do n't want to know any more . rafe : but if it 's about gabi and nick ? ej : look , you and i both know nick could snap his fingers , your sister 's in prison . rafe : mmm , actually , there 's a legal agreement . ej : you really think a legal agreement means something to someone like nicholas fallon ? rafe : okay , listen . what happened to melanie is ancient history , and besides , my sister was a victim in that . and there 's no way the d.a . would touch a case like that in a million years , so ... ej : there is a lot more to it than that . rafe : really ? then why do n't you tell me , hmm ? tell me what my sister did this time . daniel : hold on , hold on . what are you gon na do ? jennifer : i 'm gon na put out a press release about your suspension and get in front of the story . daniel : and do as much damage control as possible . jennifer : yes , until the truth comes out , which i know is gon na be soon . daniel : no , it will . i hope it will . jennifer : yeah . so you 'll stay here with parker ? daniel : and away from theresa , yeah . jennifer : yes . thank you for being so understanding . i 'm never gon na let her hurt you again . daniel : oh , thank you . jennifer : okay ? daniel : okay . jennifer : just call me . if you need anything , just call me , okay ? daniel : you know i will . jennifer : okay . daniel : all right . jennifer : you stay right here . liam : you followed me tonight because you had a crazy theory that i broke into dr. jonas ' apartment and drugged him so that -- why would i do that ? nicole : you tell me . liam : i ca n't , you see , because i did n't . i would n't dream of hurting the good doctor , just as i 'm sure you would n't hurt the former priest whom you profess to love with your whole heart . so let 's call it even . you stay out of my business and i 'll happily stay out of yours . but remember , all you have is conjecture , offhanded theories . i 've got hard evidence in hand . and i got the feeling that you 'd do anything to protect those little secrets that you try to keep under wraps . i would n't tempt fate if i were you . [ yodeling plays ] sami : the key to your place ? will : yes . thank you . sami : so you 're choosing gabi hernandez over your own mother . will : no , mom . i 'm choosing my daughter . and if you were in my position , you would do the exact same thing . ej : i 'm afraid i 'm not at liberty to discuss . rafe : you can not just drop these hints that you are protecting my sister from something that you ca n't tell me because -- ej : because you 're a detective , rafe , and to tell you would put you in an untenable position . rafe : it 's that bad ? ej : gabi 's not entirely innocent , but the situation is a lot more complex . rafe : mm - hmm . and that 's all you can tell me ? ej : that 's all i can tell you . rafe : and i 'm supposed to just take your word ? ej : look , i 'm trying to protect the people who you care about . so stop doing your damndest to ruin everything by going after nick . rafe : all right , that 's your solution ? ej : if nick changes the way he operates , then we 'll come up with a better move . for the time being , let 's not exacerbate the situation by provoking him . rafe : okay , so just sit back and do nothing ? ej : i hear you 're the praying type . so pray . you pray that your sister 's right and that nick has turned over a new leaf . rafe : okay . that 's good . [ ari cries ] gabi : oh , ari , honey , are you okay ? what 's going on ? oh , i think she 's hungry . um , i 'm pretty sure i packed a bottle . nick : you should probably get going . take her home . but , gabi ... i want you to know how sorry i am for all the trouble that i 've caused . gabi : you did n't cause it . nick : percy was right . this is working out exactly how i planned . jennifer : `` dr. jonas responded to the drug test results by voluntarily offering his resignation . `` no , that makes him sound guilty . daniel : yeah , thank you , marlena . i really appreciate your support . [ knock at door ] daniel : yeah , i 'll talk to you soon . nicole : hi . daniel : nicole , what 's wrong ? nicole : i ca n't let this happen . daniel : what -- wait , hold on . what are you talking about ? nicole : i have to help you , no matter what . | nicole wanted to know why liam was in daniel 's apartment . liam wanted to know what she was implying . ej wanted to know what sami did to gabi . sami said she called gabi an unfit mother . rafe roughed up nick for being around gabi . liam lied about why he was on daniel 's floor . gabi told will she was moving out . will thought it was because of nick . sami explained why she insulted gabi . ej defended gabi . daniel and jennifer got into an argument over him wanting to confront theresa about what happened to him . nicole told liam that she 's going to speak to the woman liam said he was with . liam thought she was accusing him of drugging daniel . she said he had nothing to worry about if his story checked out . will tried to talk to gabi into staying , but she wanted to leave . nick warned rafe that he 's going to make gabi want him more . rafe still wanted nick to stay away from gabi . nick warned rafe that others would be hurt if rafe kept bothering him . rafe wanted to know what nick was talking about , but nick walked away . sami said she wanted nick gone . ej wanted to know what she meant . she said she wanted nick out of the picture . she wanted to meet rafe to talk about nick , but ej wanted to do it himself . will said he would keep sami from her . gabi was willing to stay unless sami attacked her again . daniel was convinced he could get theresa to crack , but jennifer warned him that other people were involved . nicole accused liam of drugging daniel . when she was about to leave , he mentioned dr. chyka . | <s>[INST] daniel : i am gon na have it out with theresa once and for all . jennifer : daniel , please do n't do that . daniel : why ? we both know she 's the one who drugged me and got me suspend -- jennifer : no , but we do n't have proof of that . daniel : well , if she and her sidekick anne did n't do it , tell me . who ? who did it ? nicole : liam ! [ chuckles ] hey . liam : you again . nicole : yeah . you probably think you 're being followed . well , you 're right . liam : what do you want ? nicole : about dr . weeks . liam : if you 're looking for some sort of scoop , i -- nicole : no , no , no , no . i 'm just a little confused about your story . liam : what do you mean `` story `` ? nicole : well , colleen weeks does live in that building . she just does n't live on that floor . why do i get the feeling she was n't the reason you were there ? why do n't you tell me why you were at dr. jonas ' apartment today ? liam : what exactly are you implying ? sami : and remember how she said that she took so long to answer the door because she was changing after the wedding ? that is another lie . ej : what did you expect her to do , tell you the truth ? i mean , she knew how you would react , and then you proved her right by doing exactly that . sami : well , i had to find out if it was true . ej : okay , well , now you know . was it worth it ? sami : [ sighs ] i was angry , okay ? i was just -- i was just frustrated . and you know what ? if i have to eat my words , i will . truth is , gabi 's not the real problem here anyway . ej : no ? sami : we have to find a way to stop nick fallon . we have to . ej : samantha , what exactly did you say to gabi ? sami : i told you . ej : the exact words . tell me . sami : fine . i told her that she was an unfit mother to arianna . [ door opens ] will : what 's that for ? gabi : we 're leaving . will : you ca n't do that . gabi : i have no choice . i ca n't live here anymore . will : gabi -- gabi : not after everything that happened today . and now that i have a steady income for us , arianna and i can stay in a hotel until we find a permanent place . will : you mean a permanent place with nick , do n't you ? that 's what you 're planning . rafe : you son of a bitch ! nick : get your hands off me ! rafe : i warned you to stay away from my sister , did n't i ? you should have listened . you really should have listened . jennifer : daniel . i do n't know who else it could be -- theresa , anne , anne , theresa . daniel : well , then why ca n't i confront her ? why ? jennifer : because if you love me , you would understand that is the worst thing that you could do . nicole : just trying to get a few things straight . liam : well , you 're right . dr . weeks lives on five . but i happened to get off on the wrong floor and i was just waiting for the next elevator when i ran into you . nicole : oh , so it was just a coincidence that you got off on dr. jonas ' floor ? liam : i - i - i guess so . nicole : you know ... for some reason , i just do n't believe that . gabi : there is no plan . will : no ? you packed that suitcase in about five minutes flat . nick 's been working you , has n't he ? while sonny and i were on our honeymoon , he was trying to convince you to move out . gabi : no , actually . as much as you 've been running him down , nick has n't had one single negative thing to say about you or sonny . actually , he 's been very supportive of me staying here . will : [ scoffs ] really ? gabi : yes , really . will : then what is this about ? gabi : what is this about ? this is about your mother . she came here and she attacked me . will : she was upset . gabi : yeah , she 's always upset , will . that is no excuse for her to come here , call me a lying bitch -- her words , all right ? and then tell me that i am not fit to raise my own daughter . will : our daughter . gabi : exactly . yours , mine , not hers . ej : why ? why would you say something like that ? sami : i 'm sorry , but a fit mother does not have sex with a psychopath on the sofa while her child is asleep in the next room . ej : uh - huh ? sami : and she lied . she lied . she was lying because she knows what she 's doing is reckless and stupid . ej : oh , and of course you 've never been reckless or remotely stupid . sami : excuse me ? ej : do you not understand why she lied , samantha ? i can . she knew exactly what you were going to say . can you not see why she would n't find it a little bit hypocritical for you to sit in judgment ? hmm ? and why she would n't want to spend the rest of her life under your watchful disapproval ? sami : yeah , well , as long as she 's involved with nick fallon , that 's exactly what she 's gon na do . rafe : [ grunts ] huh ? nick : what lies is sami spreading about me ? rafe : you 're gon na stand there , you 're gon na tell me that you were n't at gabi 's doing everything you could to get her into bed ? nick : it 's not what happened . rafe : no ? do n't lie to me . nick : it was mutual . rafe : fallon , do n't do it . nick : i was n't forcing her . she wanted me . rafe : oh , she did ? nick : oh , yeah . rafe : oh ... okay . daniel : how could you say that ? of course i love you , jenn -- jennifer : okay , then listen to me and do n't go after her . do n't give her an opportunity to make this worse . daniel : how could it be any worse ? jennifer : are you kidding me ? the one thing we have learned from theresa is that it always gets worse . if you confront her without proof , she 'll charge you with harassment . daniel : right , okay , you know what i 'm gon na do ? i 'm gon na be careful . i 'll be really careful . jennifer : i know that you will , but that has n't gotten you anywhere so far . you have everything to lose and nothing to gain , so please do n't do this . daniel : no ! i am not gon na just sit here and do nothing ! liam : i 'm not sure why any of this matters or why you 'd choose not to believe the truth . nicole : the truth ? when we ran into each other , if you remember correctly , you said you were leaving . from the wrong floor ? liam : i 'd forgot my wallet . i was in a rush , got back on the elevator , pushed the wrong button . nicole : for daniel jonas ' floor ? liam : exactly . realized my mistake when i got off , but the doors had already shut and i had to wait for the next elevator . nicole : oh , and that 's when we ran into each other . liam : exactly . nicole : mm - hmm . so then you went back to dr . weeks ' place to pick up your wallet ? liam : of course . nicole : and if i talk to her about your story , she 'll say the same thing ? liam : obviously . but , i mean , you 're not gon na ask her , right ? look , as i said , this is all very delicate . i already explained , as i recall , that i do n't want anyone to think that i 'm showing doctors any favors . also , dr . weeks is in another relationship , and if word were to get out about us , it could really wreck things for her and me . nicole : mr. frazer , i have no intention of doing that . liam : thank you . nicole : but i 'm still gon na need to speak to her . do n't worry . i 'll keep it between us . liam : [ stammers ] i do n't understand why any of this is your concern . nicole : because dr. jonas is my friend , and what happened to him this morning is certainly my concern . liam : wait , you 're not saying you think i had anything to do -- nicole : well , if your alibi checks out , you have nothing to worry about . liam : whoa , wait . will : what can i do to make this better ? gabi : it 's too late . there 's nothing . i 've tried and i 've tried , but i just ca n't live here anymore . will : gabi , i 'm sorry for what my mom said , but you and i both know what kind of a hothead she can be . so please , do not punish me by taking ari away . do not punish her . gabi : oh , so it 's -- it 's good for her to live in a place where her mother is constantly being disrespected and lectured ? will : sonny and i are not going to lecture you anymore . it 's your life , and only you can decide what happens with nick . it 's just that with everything that happened , with everything we 've been through thinking that he was dead , i am surprised that you want to be friends with him again , but like i said , it 's your choice ... nobody else 's . gabi : well , i really appreciate you saying that . it 's a good start . but i 'm sorry . it 's not enough . nick : you ca n't fight ... what gabi and i feel , rafe . you ca n't keep us apart . what we have is too real . rafe : no , what you have , it 's a joke , it 's sick . nick : jensen tried to come between us , he messed with my mind , and he could n't do it . rafe : uh - huh ? nick : gabi and i survived that . rafe : okay . nick : as much as you 'd like to , you ca n't control what gabi feels ... rafe : we 'll see . nick : or what she does . just like you could n't control your sister ... arianna . and so she died ... tragically . and i know how guilty you feel about that . i know that you feel like if you 'd done a better job protecting her , that she 'd still be here today . rafe : right . nick : but you 're not gon na get her back by smothering gabi . just gon na make her want me more . ca n't you see that ? rafe : you know what i see ? i see a liar . and i see a convicted murderer . and i see someone who is gon na bring my sister nothing but pain and heartache . and i do n't give a damn what you say or that you 've changed or you say you have some sort of connection with my sister . i am not gon na let you brainwash her into thinking that she needs you . it 's not gon na happen . ej : look . i understand that you 're concerned about nick . i do . but you need to grasp that gabriella 's personal life is out of our hands . we do n't have a say , samantha . sami : how can you say that ? i mean , six months ago , this girl was afraid that she had killed nick for attacking her . nick has managed to forgive her for bashing him over the head with a rock . but meanwhile , i am the person who actually tried to help this stupid girl and he 's blackmailing me for it . and the thanks i get from gabi ? oh , yeah . no , she 's jumping back in the sack with him . ej : okay . but , samantha , if gabriella has feelings for nick , then there 's nothing we can do about that . sami : there 's always something i could do . ej : such as ? sami : i do n't know , all right ? i just know that i want nick gone ... permanently . ej : we 've been down that road before , samantha . look at me . are you telling me that you want nicholas fallon dead ? nick : i do n't want to hurt gabi , rafe , unless -- rafe : oh , save it , fallon . unless what ? nick : you screw with me , it wo n't only be your sister 's life that you 're destroying . others are involved too . rafe : oh , others ? really ? what the hell are you talking about ? nick : [ sniffs ] do n't worry about it . i wo n't press charges ... this time . rafe : i will worry about it . nick : really ? rafe : yeah . nick : you trying to leave me no choice ? rafe : [ sighs ] okay , sami . i really hope you can tell me what the hell is going on . sami : when i say i want nick gone , i just ... i just mean i want him gone . ej : be specific . sami : i do n't know . [ phone rings ] sami : and frankly , i do n't care . i mean , the point is i just want him to , you know , be out of will 's life and arianna 's life and gabi 's . you know , maybe you could talk to your father . ej : about what ? sami : about nick , obviously ! could n't he just , you know , have him put on one of his islands somewhere in the middle of nowhere and we could forget about him forever ? ej : would you really like to be in my father 's debt again ? sami : i do n't see as we have much choice . even rafe realizes there 's something that has to be done . ej : whoa , stop . rafe knows what 's going on ? sami : well , he came back with will and he saw gabi and i fighting , he found out what happened , and he went tearing off after nick . ej : wonderful . well , with a bit of luck , mr. fallon has already departed this world . [ phone rings ] sami : i mean , that seems unlikely . it seems like nick has more than nine lives . ej : what is it ? sami : it 's rafe . he wants to talk to me about the whole thing with nick , so ... all right . ej : no , ah - ah ! absolutely not , young lady . you 're not going anywhere . you stay here , i 'll go . sami : what ? are you jealous ? ej : no , i 'm not jealous . i just think it 's best to remove you from the situation . sami : oh , because you think i ca n't handle it ? ej : i think that dealing with detective hernandez requires a certain amount of , um ... diplomacy . sami : and you 're telling me that you think i ca n't keep my big mouth shut ? ej : we do n't want this whole thing to blow up in our faces , do we ? sami : no , we do n't . ej : okay . sami : he 's at the pub . ej : thank you . will : it 's not enough ? what else can i do ? gabi : i do n't know . i just -- i ca n't deal with your mother again . will : fine , done . i will make sure that she never comes over here to see ari . gabi : she has a key . will : for emergencies . gabi : well , she used it when you and sonny were at the inn , and that 's when she -- will : okay , look , i will go and i will get that key from -- i 'll go right now . just please , promise me that you will be here when i get back . gabi : i promise . i do n't -- i do n't want to move out , will . but if your mom comes here again and attacks me one more time , there is n't anything that you can do to stop me . i 'm sorry . will : i understand . and it wo n't happen . gabi : oh , my god . rafe . [ phone rings ] nick : [ sighs ] hey . gabi : hey , um , it 's me . look , my brother was here and i just wanted to warn you that -- nick : i already saw him . gabi : are you okay ? nick : i 'm fine . gabi : well , you do n't sound fine . nick : i 'm just getting a little peace and quiet in the park . um , i think it -- it 'll be good if we can just talk tomorrow . gabi : tomorrow ? nick : yeah , yeah , i think that 'd be best . i 'll talk to you later , okay ? [ sighs ] gabi : okay , arianna grace , let 's go . daniel : jennifer , i hear you . i hear what you 're saying , but if theresa gets away with this , she wins , and that is not an option for me . jennifer : but you 're never going to get to her because she 's never going to admit it . daniel : not deliberately , but she has a weakness . jennifer : what ? daniel : me . she hates me , obviously , but she also has this weird vibe around me . it 's sick , it 's disgusting , fueled by her desire to hurt you , but despite her little tough veneer , she makes mistakes . that girl , she makes mistakes . now , if i can just push her buttons , i 'll get her to fly off the handle , she will incriminate herself like that . jennifer : do you realize that there are other people who could be hurt if this does n't turn out the way you expect it to ? daniel : oh , my god . you 're right . i did n't ... i did n't think about that . jennifer , i 'm ... i 'm sorry . liam : are you suggesting i had something to do with daniel jonas ' mishap today ? nicole : he was deliberately drugged in his apartment this morning . liam : okay , even if that 's so , it 's a big building . dozens of people passing through . i 'm not quite sure why you 're zeroed in on me . nicole : i 'm an investigative reporter . liam : so you bark up every tree ? nicole : well , i 'm barking up your tree because ... you 're sweating . liam : i barely know dr. jonas . nicole : but you know jennifer horton , do n't you ? she stopped seeing you to go back to daniel , right ? liam : so you think i drugged him ? that 's crazy . nicole : well , if the label fits -- liam : okay , if you think you 're gon na ruin my reputation on the basis of this purely circumstantial crap , you 're the one who 's going to be kissing your career good - bye . nicole : oh , we 'll just see about that . liam : hold on . i think we should talk about dr. chyka , do n't you ? [ door closes ] sami : hey , will . i hope you were able to talk some sense into gabi -- will : be quiet . listen to me . sami : hey , all right , you do n't talk to me like that . gabi is the one who -- will : do you hear yourself ? you 're the reason gabi almost walked out with arianna today . sami : [ scoffs ] will : you went after the mother of my baby . you almost cost me my daughter , and that is unacceptable . ej : oh ! little early for that . rafe : where 's sami ? ej : something came up . rafe : like what ? ej : well , she told me what was happening earlier , and we decided i 'd come in her place . rafe : hmm , lucky me . ej : so ... you went after nick , did you ? so you 're still in one piece . rafe : unfortunately , so is he . ej : you realize you just gave him exactly what he wanted ? rafe : oh , yeah ? loosening his teeth ? ej : he wants to be the victim . rafe : well , he 's not the victim . my sister is the victim . he tried to lure her to new york , and god , if -- i 'm not giving him another chance . ej : [ clears throat ] once you calm down , you 're going to realize you do n't have a choice . none of us do . gabi : um , nick , look . i know that you said you wanted to be alone , but i was worried and -- oh , my god . did rafe do that to you ? nick : it 's not a big deal . gabi : it 's not a big deal ? what ? nick : it 's your brother . he 's just trying to be protective . gabi : you mean he 's being a neanderthal . nick : look , gabi , the last thing that i want is to cause any problems between you and your family . and that includes will and sami . gabi : sami ? nick : you know , after -- after what happened at the river , i thought to myself that i - i wanted to stay in salem because it 's the only place that i 've ever really felt at home . i 've tried really , really hard to make that happen . gabi : i know you have . nick : but it 's stupid for me to think any of that mattered . you know ? because now , i mean , with the way people are acting , i do n't think anybody 's ever gon na accept me in this town . daniel : i do n't even know where my head 's at . if i go after theresa , she 's gon na retaliate by hurting jj , and that 's the last thing you need . jennifer : yes , i know that . but it 's not that . it 's not just jj . this is all my fault . daniel : what ? jennifer : daniel , if you never loved me , none of this would be happening to you right now . nicole : i 'm sorry . what did you say ? liam : dr. chyka . he 's the guy who kidnapped you and the priest , right ? i saw it on titan tv breaking news . you almost died . what a terrible ordeal you went through . nicole : i do n't know what that has to do with you . liam : hmm , well , everyone at the hospital was talking about it , but i did n't pay much attention to it because , well , it 's none of my business . and i like to stay out of other people 's private matters . anyway , i 'd almost forgotten about the whole thing when the most amazing thing happened . this famous tv news reporter was dumping so much garbage at this ignominious roadside rest stop . nicole : not sure what you 're getting at . liam : oh ? all that rubbish you were getting rid of , none of it had to do with dr. chyka ? nicole : of course not . liam : i think you 're lying to me , miss walker . i know that you were shredding documents pertaining to dr. chyka and , uh , what 's her name ? kristen dimera ? that 's it . and then you were recklessly setting them on fire . nicole : i was not . liam : the hell you were n't . rafe : well , thanks , but i do n't need your advice on how to look out for my sister . ej : are you sure about that ? rafe : what are you getting at , ej ? ej : i 'm telling you . you do n't want to push this any further . rafe : hmm . is that a threat ? ej : no , of course not . i 'm trying to get you to understand it 's not in gabi 's best interest , or anybody 's , for you to interfere with this matter . rafe : well , this matter is my sister 's future . ej : rafe , if you go after nick , it 's going to be counterproductive . you risk making this situation a lot more dangerous . rafe : really ? it 's funny 'cause you kind of sound like nick . you two working together on this ? ej : do i work with nick ? rafe : mm - hmm . ej : no . rafe : then what are you trying to tell me ? ej : my interest in this situation is very simple . i 'm trying to stop my family from being torn apart . rafe : by nick ? ej : yes . sami : oh , my god , what ? is gabi threatening to move in with nick ? will : or anywhere you were n't . sami : okay , well , it 's okay now , right ? you talked her out of it and talked some sense into her ? will : yes , but i had to make some pretty big promises . sami : like what ? will : like you 're not allowed to come anywhere near our place if gabi 's around . sami : what ? no ! no , you are not serious ! there is no way in hell i am letting her keep me away from my grandbaby . nick : ah ... ah . gabi : nick , i feel terrible . nick : it 's not your fault . gabi : well , my brother would have never laid a hand on you if we were n't -- [ sighs ] you know , i 'm just -- i just ca n't understand why people ca n't try to believe you 've changed . nick : because they 're never gon na change . ow , ow . they 're never gon na accept me . gabi : i mean , will and sonny are trying . nick : [ chuckles ] what makes you say that ? gabi : well , while sami was off ranting and raving and rafe was tearing off after you , will stood up to his mom and actually threw her out of our place . nick : really ? gabi : yeah . said he 's gon na tell her that she 's not welcome back . nick : how did you get him to agree ... to say that ? gabi : well , i told him that i was taking arianna and that we were moving out . nick : what ? no , no , no , no . gabi , you , um ... you ca n't do that . daniel : jennifer . if you and i are not together ... you are not to blame for any of this . i never want to hear you say that again . okay ? oh , baby , come here . we will figure out a way to deal with theresa . trust me . jennifer : yeah . wait a minute . there is something we can do . no , there 's something i can do right now . nicole : just what have you been smoking ? liam : the only thing smoking was that heap of paper . of course , you ca n't blame a guy for being curious about what was so secret that it needed to be shredded and set aflame . of course , you were sweating bullets the whole time i was trying to help you , so naturally , my suspicions were raised . so i fished a few pieces out of the pile before you came back and torched the whole thing . it took some time , but it was kind of like putting together a puzzle . i always liked puzzles . nicole : i do n't know what you think you know . liam : oh , i do know . so what do you think your ex - priest friend would think about you destroying the only information that could ever clear his name ? sorry . i 've got your number and i 'm keeping it . will : gabi 's not trying to keep you away from your granddaughter . sami : ha ! that 's exactly what she 's doing . will : i can bring ari over here to see you . that 's not a problem . gabi is tired of putting up with you attacking her over nick . sami : why is n't anyone attacking her for that ? i mean , come on ! are you really okay with her sleeping with nick in your apartment ? will : i ca n't control what gabi does , and neither can you . you are the last person she wants to hear from on the subject of being an unfit mother . and i do n't blame her . so ... i 'm going to need you to give me the key to our place right now . gabi : well , i thought you 'd want me to move out . nick : no . you 've worked way too hard to have a good relationship with will and sonny , and i want you to keep it that way . that 's why you stayed , you know ? you 're putting arianna first , the way that we all should be . gabi : i wish they could hear you right now . sometimes i think that you 're the only one out of all of them who puts arianna first . nick : that 's not true . gabi : will did say that if i wanted to spend time with you , that it 'd be totally up to me , so he 's gon na be seeing a lot of you . and maybe then he 'll realize who you really are . nick : i 'd -- i 'd love it if we could all be friends again . gabi : stranger things have happened , right ? and if will and sonny come around , then maybe my brother and the others will too . yeah ? nick : ow . gabi : oh ! nick : i can only hope . rafe : well , your family does not include my sister . ej : no , but it does include arianna grace . rafe : and i do n't need your help . ej : you have no idea . rafe : okay , then why do n't you tell me ? ej : trust me , you do n't want to know any more . rafe : but if it 's about gabi and nick ? ej : look , you and i both know nick could snap his fingers , your sister 's in prison . rafe : mmm , actually , there 's a legal agreement . ej : you really think a legal agreement means something to someone like nicholas fallon ? rafe : okay , listen . what happened to melanie is ancient history , and besides , my sister was a victim in that . and there 's no way the d.a . would touch a case like that in a million years , so ... ej : there is a lot more to it than that . rafe : really ? then why do n't you tell me , hmm ? tell me what my sister did this time . daniel : hold on , hold on . what are you gon na do ? jennifer : i 'm gon na put out a press release about your suspension and get in front of the story . daniel : and do as much damage control as possible . jennifer : yes , until the truth comes out , which i know is gon na be soon . daniel : no , it will . i hope it will . jennifer : yeah . so you 'll stay here with parker ? daniel : and away from theresa , yeah . jennifer : yes . thank you for being so understanding . i 'm never gon na let her hurt you again . daniel : oh , thank you . jennifer : okay ? daniel : okay . jennifer : just call me . if you need anything , just call me , okay ? daniel : you know i will . jennifer : okay . daniel : all right . jennifer : you stay right here . liam : you followed me tonight because you had a crazy theory that i broke into dr. jonas ' apartment and drugged him so that -- why would i do that ? nicole : you tell me . liam : i ca n't , you see , because i did n't . i would n't dream of hurting the good doctor , just as i 'm sure you would n't hurt the former priest whom you profess to love with your whole heart . so let 's call it even . you stay out of my business and i 'll happily stay out of yours . but remember , all you have is conjecture , offhanded theories . i 've got hard evidence in hand . and i got the feeling that you 'd do anything to protect those little secrets that you try to keep under wraps . i would n't tempt fate if i were you . [ yodeling plays ] sami : the key to your place ? will : yes . thank you . sami : so you 're choosing gabi hernandez over your own mother . will : no , mom . i 'm choosing my daughter . and if you were in my position , you would do the exact same thing . ej : i 'm afraid i 'm not at liberty to discuss . rafe : you can not just drop these hints that you are protecting my sister from something that you ca n't tell me because -- ej : because you 're a detective , rafe , and to tell you would put you in an untenable position . rafe : it 's that bad ? ej : gabi 's not entirely innocent , but the situation is a lot more complex . rafe : mm - hmm . and that 's all you can tell me ? ej : that 's all i can tell you . rafe : and i 'm supposed to just take your word ? ej : look , i 'm trying to protect the people who you care about . so stop doing your damndest to ruin everything by going after nick . rafe : all right , that 's your solution ? ej : if nick changes the way he operates , then we 'll come up with a better move . for the time being , let 's not exacerbate the situation by provoking him . rafe : okay , so just sit back and do nothing ? ej : i hear you 're the praying type . so pray . you pray that your sister 's right and that nick has turned over a new leaf . rafe : okay . that 's good . [ ari cries ] gabi : oh , ari , honey , are you okay ? what 's going on ? oh , i think she 's hungry . um , i 'm pretty sure i packed a bottle . nick : you should probably get going . take her home . but , gabi ... i want you to know how sorry i am for all the trouble that i 've caused . gabi : you did n't cause it . nick : percy was right . this is working out exactly how i planned . jennifer : `` dr. jonas responded to the drug test results by voluntarily offering his resignation . `` no , that makes him sound guilty . daniel : yeah , thank you , marlena . i really appreciate your support .

[ scene_break ] derek : like i said , she 's beautiful . lily : nothing else strikes you at all ? derek : just because your niece is biracial , does n't mean that she 's my daughter . lily : i 'm sorry -- i did n't mean to imply -- it 's just that when you said that you and rose were close -- i got a feeling . is n't there a possibility that she could be your daughter ? derek : a lot of things are possible . lily : the last time you saw rose was 20 years ago . jade is 19 . do n't you think that the timing -- derek : could be a coincidence ? yes , absolutely . bonnie : wait , you did n't know that rose had a baby ? derek : no . probably because she had no reason to tell me . lily : or maybe she was afraid . derek : rose was n't afraid of anything -- least of all me . now , i 'm really sorry that i mistook her for you . but we really should get going . lily : please . wait . i know it 's a long shot . but are n't you even curious to see if i 'm right ? derek : i think the finding out part should be left up to this girl , do n't you ? holden : hey , i 'm sorry i 'm late . bonnie , how are you ? bonnie : i thought i was okay . holden : what 's going on ? derek : we were just leaving . once again , i 'm really sorry for your loss . holden : your loss ? lily : he was talking about rose . holden : who is he and how does he know about rose ? lily : his name is derek coburn . and he could be jade 's father . bonnie : i just have a few things to do before we hit old town . derek : yeah , take your time . bonnie : you okay ? derek : i 'm fine . bonnie : you 're still thinking about what lily said -- about you possibly being jade 's father . derek : i 'm thinking about rose . i just -- i ca n't believe she 's gone . bonnie : well , it sounds like you guys really had something special . derek : we did . bonnie : so if jade is your daughter -- derek : she 's not . rose was not the kind of person to keep things to herself . if she 'd been carrying my child , i think she would 've let me know . bonnie : you know what ? maybe not . carrying a mixed - race child is not the easiest thing . i mean , my mother got a lot of flak about it when she was pregnant with me . derek : i 'm sorry . i did n't know . bonnie : well , how would you ? i did n't tell you . but look , all i am saying is that if rose thought she was going to go through anything like what my mother did , i mean , it would make sense that she would keep it quiet . derek : knowing rose , she would have told the father , at least . and the fact that she did n't contact me , makes me pretty sure it 's not my kid . bonnie : well , do n't you want to be positive ? derek : no ! because i never wanted to be a dad . not then and sure as hell not now . [ scene_break ] lily : i should call jade . let her know her biological father is living here in oakdale . holden : you do n't know that this guy is her father . and even if he is , you said it yourself , he might not be interested in making a connection . lily : he was just overwhelmed , holden . he thought i was rose . and then i tell him that she 's dead . i told him that he has a daughter possibly . i mean , who would n't be a little shell - shocked ? that does n't mean he 's not curious -- holden : you 're doing it again . lily : what ? holden : what you did when jade showed up here saying that she was rose 's daughter . lily : she is rose 's daughter . holden : yeah , but she 's not rose . and even if this guy is jade 's father , it 's not going to bring rose back . lily : i know that . holden : do you ? because you told me that losing rose set a bunch dangerous things in motion for you . and that 's when your life got off track . lily : that 's not going to happen again . holden : i hope not . because if it turns out this guy is n't jade 's father , i do n't want you to start grieving over rose all over again . lily : this is n't about bringing rose back . it 's about possibly giving jade something she 's never had . jade got cheated out of knowing her mother . if there 's a chance that she could meet her father , and get to know him -- maybe it would get her that sense of belonging that she 's been missing her whole life . holden : okay , okay . that makes a lot of sense . but i agree with derek . if there 's a connection to be made here , jade 's the one who needs to do it . lily : well , how can she do that , if she does n't even know he exists ? what is it ? holden : i just think you need to be careful . i have a funny feeling you 're stirring up something that we 're all going to live to regret .

[ scene_break ] kate : okay . i do n't think you 're going to lose ties with your sisters or your brother because ... say what you will about sami , but she does love her children . so ... why do n't you move in with me ? and then after everything calms down , i 'm sure you 're going to be able to work things out with your mom . will : [ scoffs ] oh , man , this is so weird . kate : mm ... i know . will : it 's like ... i end up moving in with the dimeras ... because ej moved in with us . do you , um ... know what he 's up to ?

[ scene_break ] sami : well , i ca n't tell you what a comfort it is to be at the end of your rope and have your dad tell you what a complete idiot you are . roman : have you forgotten what his last name is ? sami : no . but i also have n't forgotten what it feels like to want people to believe that you have changed . he has agonized with me ... when sydney was missing . he is the only person on the planet who knows , really , what i went through . roman : it did n't look to me like rafe was just a disinterested bystander . sami : rafe ... is the one who ca n't forgive me , dad . not the other way around . so right now it just seems to me like ej is the only person ... who accepts me for who i really am . roman : in other words ... he 's got you just where he wants you . [ scene_break ] kate : honestly , i do n't know what 's going on in ej 's head . but he has locked horns with stefano . will : that must be fun for you . kate : hmm . actually , i feel badly for both of them . will : you know ... i thought that when we finally got sydney back , things would kinda settle down , but ... it just does n't feel like it has . kate : i know . will : it still feels like ... like there 's something really wrong .

[ scene_break ] ej : your arrogance has finally got the better of you . you do n't even comprehend what the stakes are here , do you ? stefano : my arrogance ? ej : you would take my child away from me ... because i had the gall to pay you back ... for what you did to me ? and now you 're gon na give my child to a woman who you hate ! stefano : maybe , elvis ... i 'm doing it for their sake . after all ... a man who could take this precious child ... use her as a pawn ... take her clothes , bloody them up , float them in a river ... lead me to believe that she s a horrible death ... god forgive me but ... maybe that kind of man should not have children ! ej : do n't you dare . you are no longer my father . [ scene_break ] chloe : thank you . daniel : yeah . so , i do n't know , bo , he wants me to keep an eye on carly , and you saw what happened back at the hospital . so , yeah , i think he has a -- he has a point , you know . we ca n't trust vivian to keep her promise . chloe : so ... carly would move in with us ? daniel : yeah , just until bo gets back from l.a . but , you know , if you 're not really comfortable with that , we could , uh , we 'll figure something else out . chloe : like ... daniel : i do n't know . i suppose we could , uh ... we could move into bo 's place until he gets back , or i could , or -- look , really , honey ... whatever works best for you . [ scene_break ] vivian : you 're cracking . i like that . carly : you 're not gon na like what comes n . philip : vivian . what are you doing here ? vivian : i 'm fending off a maniac . did you see the way she attacked me ? philip : no . i saw you provoking her . why do n't you just go home ? go to hell . vivian : what ? philip : just get outta here . vivian : philip ! philip : i know , i know , you 're gon na tell my father on me . vivian : everyone takes her side . everyone . melanie : oh , wow ! looked like you were about to hit her . carly : i 'm sorry you had to see that . i do n't usually lose control like that . melanie : it 's okay . it 's been a long day . you had a tough surgery . carly : your father was amazing , was n't he ? melanie : yeah . you 're pretty good too , i guess .

[ scene_break ] stefano : i 'm no longer your father . [ chuckles ] the truth , elvis ... is that i will always be your father . ej : do you know what the saddest thing is ?

[ scene_break ] chloe : so daniel thinks he has to take care of carly for melanie 's sake . father matt : and that idea does n't sit well with you . chloe : you think i 'm terrible , do n't you ? father matt : i certainly do . most women would be thrilled to have the mother of their fiancé 's daughter as a houseguest . [ chloe giggles ] father matt : he does n't really get that he 's asking a heck of a lot ? chloe : he said i could say no . father matt : but you did n't . chloe : well , the other option is for him to move into bo 's house when bo is away . and he said i could move in there too , but it just did n't really seem like he wanted me to . father matt : ah ... you 've got some clueless dude there , chloe . chloe : [ laughs ] yeah . he 's -- he 's just so nice , father , and he would do anything for his daughter . i just do n't think that he sees -- father matt : that he knows how you feel . chloe : actually , i was gon na say i do n't think that he sees that carly is a manipulative bitch .

[ scene_break ] laura : i know it 's got to feel like she 's trying to take your place , but i really do n't think that that 's what dante wants . lulu : i decided it would n't help anyone if i flew off the handle , so i 'm taking the high road . i thought it 'd be better for everyone if i were reasonable . laura : lulu , what 'd you do ? lulu : what ? laura : i know you , and when you 're hurt , the last thing you are is reasonable . lulu : it 's been known to happen . laura : okay , i 'm not saying that you 're incapable of moderate behavior , but it is not your first reaction ... especially when the wound is this deep . you are your father 's daughter . and when he got hurt , he would get this steely - eyed gleam in his eye , because he already knew the best way to get back at them . and sometimes when i look at you , i see that same look . lulu : what you see in my eyes is pain and anger , because i have been betrayed by my husband . as mad as i am at dante , revenge is not something that i 'm thinking about . it 's not the only thing i 'm thinking about . laura : okay . lulu : i never would have believed that he could betray me like this . i 'm going through like a million emotions every day . first , i - i 'm furious , and then i 'm just sad . and then i want dante back , and then i never want to see him again ! laura : yeah , i know . i understand . it 's a very confusing time . lulu : it is . but the one thing that i am not confused about is that i hate valerie . [ scene_break ] sonny : what do you need to talk to me about ? dante : well , first , how 's your health ? sonny : uh , upper body -- stronger , you know ? [ laughs ] i get around better , and , you know , i can navigate the chair , but my legs ... no change yet . dante : i 'm sorry to hear that . sonny : but you know what ? i - i just got to keep going . you know what i mean ? i 'll get it . dante : yeah , it 's got to be frustrating , the pace of the recovery . sonny : well , epiphany keeps me in line . i do n't really , you know , cooperate very well 'cause i 'm stubborn , but , in the end , i got to do what she says . i got no choice . dante : got to be tough keeping track of everything that 's going on from the sidelines , yeah ? sonny : what are you getting at ? dante : there 's an arms dealer that 's been seen around town . atf 's looking into him , but i wanted to know if you knew anything about why he 's here . [ scene_break ] carly : [ gasps ] elizabeth : oh , god . carly : elizabeth . elizabeth : carly . carly : so , do you have a minute ? elizabeth : so you can lecture me about jason ? do n't bother . i 've heard it all from him and sam . carly : i wanted to thank you . elizabeth : excuse me ? carly : for showing jason your true colors . elizabeth : [ scoffs ] carly : see , you 're not a shining star . you can lie just like the rest of us . hell , even more than the rest of us . elizabeth : wait , you are going to talk to me about lying ? carly : i never lied to jason . i never needed to . he accepted me with my faults , and i accepted him the same way . you , on the other hand , see , you always played the victim and the damsel in distress . elizabeth : mm - hmm . carly : you tried over and over again to trap jason , to turn him into the man ... elizabeth : okay , fine . carly : to live life by your rules . elizabeth : okay . carly : but now he sees a different -- elizabeth : just shut up ! just shut up ! carly : now jason sees how selfish you are ... how you could stand by and watch his wife and his son grieve just so you could have what you wanted ! elizabeth : sam and danny had a new life with patrick ! carly : patrick ? ! let 's talk about patrick . you stood by , and you watched him get engaged to a woman you knew was already married ! patrick was your friend , and you screwed him over , just like you screwed the rest of us over ! elizabeth : no , patrick was happy . like , we could have all been happy if sam had just let this go . carly : jason was n't happy ! he could never be happy with a liar like you . and i tried to tell him that over and over again , but he would n't hear it from me . you had to be the one to show him . now you have . [ scene_break ] sonny : i do n't run guns , and i do n't do business with arms dealers . dante : i know that , but this is your territory , and you know everything that 's going on around here . sonny : do i ? dante : we 're talking a lot of guns , sonny . sonny : yeah . dante : it 'd be good to know where they 're going . sonny : then i hope you shut down that arms dealer . dante : that 's it ? you 're not gon na help me out any more ? sonny : that 's all i got . dante : well , i sure hope you 're not planning on dealing with this person directly . sonny : in my current state , i 'm pretty much off the front lines . dante : [ breathes deeply ] have you ever thought about taking this opportunity ? using it to your advantage ? sonny : dante ... what are you getting at ? dante : this business almost killed you again . you 've had a good run ... sonny : uh - huh . dante : 'cause you 're smart , but because you 've been lucky , too , and maybe your luck 's about to run out . sonny : if you 're referring to my wheelchair , i 've already told you -- it 's temporary . dante : [ sighs ] if you stay in , i 'm worried you 're gon na end up in one of two places -- the morgue or jail . sonny : there 's also a third option -- i could wind up dying in bed many years from now . dante : will you s -- just listen to me . you just got married to carly again . sonny : right . dante : you got a kid you got to take care of . morgan 's ... sick . he needs help with his treatment . michael 's about to have a kid , not to mention i need you . sonny : i thought you understood . i got -- i ca n't get out of the business . n -- it 's not an option . it never was . dante : yeah , i figured . sonny : can we just talk about something else ? how you doing ? [ scene_break ] alexis : i did n't realize that your assistant was so communicative with your whereabouts . olivia : oh , yes . we 've gotten to be very good friends , me and cheryl . and -- and i told them that i was looking for you , and she sent me right over here . julian : well , is leo okay ? olivia : oh , leo 's perfect . and he 's gon na be even more perfect when i put him in this . [ laughs ] is n't it cute ? scooch over , alexis . scooch , scooch . is n't that cute ? alexis : uh , it 's ... cute . julian : it 's definitely cute . olivia : well , i 'm glad you both think so , because ... i 've got a matching one for dad ! [ laughs ] you know what ? when dante was a little kid , my nonna used to make us matching sweaters every christmastime , and then the two of us would just put them on and wear them all day , take about a million pictures , and , unfortunately , i 'm not as skilled with my knitting needles , but i thought , with a little help from my credit cards , i could carry on the tradition with the three of us . [ laughs ] alexis : wow ! so you -- you three are gon na wear christmas sweaters together ? olivia : oh . i 'm sorry . did you want me to get you one , too ? alexis : no . [ stammers ] no , thank you . i - i 've got lots of sweaters . julian : yeah , lots of sweaters . listen , i would love to stay and chat about sweaters , but i have to get back to the office . alexis : huh ? julian : so i 'm gon na leave you two . alexis : why ? julian : uh , alexis ... alexis : huh ? julian : ... you know , listen , thank you for meeting me . always good to see you . alexis : wha -- julian : okay . and , uh , see you later . olivia : [ sighs ] [ scene_break ] dillon : i 'm not sure where i come in . how can i help save crimson ? maxie : you could do more than just step in as our emergency replacement . you could be our permanent photographer . dillon : [ chuckles ] i 'm not a fashion photographer . i 'm a filmmaker . maxie : so ? a lot of directors work in fashion and vice versa . what about tom ford ? come on , dillon . it 's a win - win . you get a great job , and i get to keep you here in town . dillon : okay , i got to ask -- why do you want to keep me here ? [ scene_break ] nina : i can tell by the look on your face . you do n't think that julian thinks i 'm capable of running the magazine ? franco : i just ... do n't pay any attention . i - i had cafeteria food at the hospital . it 's just -- it 's always a bad idea . nina : no , do n't . you 're -- you 're avoiding the question . i thought we were honest with each other . franco : okay . you 're clearly great at what you do , but i 'm not convinced that that 's why julian hired you . nina : why do you think he hired me ? come on . do n't -- do n't treat me with kid gloves . just tell me , honestly . franco : you know what ? forget i said anything . i just do n't -- i do n't like that guy . i do n't like julian . but -- do you -- and i 'm happy that you 're happy with what you 're doing . i - i like that you have something that you love . nina : he does n't think i 'm capable ? is that what you 're saying ? that he hired me because of some kind of joke ? franco : i did n't say that . nina : i mean , because i did n't know what i was doing when i started the magazine , but i learned so much from maxie . and i am editor - in - chief of crimson , and i 'm gon na make it a success . franco : i - i know you ... that 's what i 'm gon na do with this magazine . i know . you are , you are . that 's what you 're gon na do . look , i think you 're amazing . if it were up to me , you 'd be in charge of every magazine in the world . okay , but julian is shallow and superficial and ultimately probably treacherous , and i just feel like he has some kind of agenda . a - and i would hate to see you ever get hurt . nina : okay . um , that 's an interesting perspective . i 'll , you know , give it some thought , definitely . franco : all right . so , then , um , i - i guess i 'll see you at home later ? nina : uh - huh . [ door closes ] [ scene_break ] johnny : sorry this is taking so long . you can wait in the car if you want . valerie : that hardly sounds fair . i 'm fine . johnny : is that code for `` i 'm missing gun class `` ? valerie : [ laughs ] not `` gun class `` per se , but gun practice . johnny : oh . what do i know ? i 'm just a civilian . [ chuckles ] valerie : yep . i officially missed my time at the gun range . and i really needed to make a good impression . johnny : why would n't you make a good impression ? valerie : i have got some things stacked against me . johnny : oh . you catch a raw deal 'cause you 're a woman ? you know , i hate that crap . valerie : no , actually , they treat me pretty well . johnny : all things considered ? valerie : [ chuckles ] all things considered . but that 's not my only problem . there was ... an incident . johnny : an incident ? valerie : yeah , but if you do n't mind , i really do n't want to get into it . johnny : oh , that 's okay . valerie : i 'm just afraid that it may influence how the cops feel about me . and i do n't really know what to do about it . i really want to be taken seriously as a cop . it means everything to me . johnny : i can tell . [ scene_break ] alexis : olivia ? olivia : yeah ? alexis : can we talk ? olivia : sure . about what ? alexis : i know what it 's like to co - parent when you 're not part of the couple . and , you know , i had to do that with ric and sonny . olivia : mm . alexis : and we had varying degrees of success . it 's tricky . but i think we -- we managed to maintain our separate lives . olivia : so you 're saying you do n't want me spending time with julian ? alexis : no ! no ! i 'm not saying that at all . i -- you have to spend time with julian . you share a child together . i - i 'm just asking or suggesting that maybe we could set some boundaries . olivia : ah . alexis : for example , julian and i were having a private lunch , and -- and we do n't get to do that that often , and you decided you wanted to see him . and i - i 'm just saying that , in the future , maybe you could call first before coming over . olivia : i get it . alexis : [ gasps ] you do . olivia : you 're putting me in my place . alexis : [ sighs ] [ scene_break ] dante : now that the separation 's official , lulu and i are moving on with our lives . sonny : you 're okay with it ? dante : i do n't know if i am or not . but it 's where we are these days , you know ? she brought over separation papers , i signed off on them for her . everyone keeps saying we 're meant to be together , we 're gon na get back together , but ... that 's easy for them to say . sonny : you know what ? you should n't really put any pressure on yourself , because here 's the thing -- there 's not really a -- a magic fix here . right ? i mean , you and lulu are gon na have to figure out what you guys want . it 's gon na take a while . i mean , look at carly and me . we -- we broke up how many times ? all the time , it was painful . sometimes it was ugly . but in time , the anger will fade , and you 'll remember what 's good . now , i ca n't tell you whether you guys are gon na get back together or not , but at least with carly , you know ... ... we found our way back together , and i thank god for that . a few detours along the way . is that what 's going on ? are you going through a detour ? dante : honestly , i do n't know what i 'm doing . sonny : well , that 's honest . dante : [ sighs ] i 'm just , uh ... [ clears throat ] ... just taking it day by day , you know ? sonny : that 's all you can do . i mean , hey , if you and lulu are meant to be , you guys will find your way back together . [ scene_break ] laura : you know , in some ways , it 's -- it 's easier to hate valerie than it is to hate dante . lulu : valerie hurt me just as much as dante did . let 's not even talk about the fact that she is my cousin . laura : yeah , well , she may be your cousin , but she 's not your husband , and she 's not the one who broke any marriage vows . lulu : oh , well , it 's fine . i have plenty of hate to go around . laura : [ breathes deeply ] oh , lulu , please . stay focused on the real problem . lulu : i know that dante is the one that is responsible for cheating on me . laura : mm - hmm . lulu : and if we ever get back together , i will have to find a way to live with what he did . laura : and to be honest with you , i hope that you do find a way back together . but if you do n't [ breathes deeply ] you 've got to remember that you will always be rocco 's parents , and that means putting him first . uh , so , you know ... lulu : i know . laura : ... you 're going to have to learn how to treat each other kindly , sweetie , even when you do n't want to . lulu : i might be able to find a way to come to terms with what dante did , but i do n't see any reason to tolerate valerie . as long as valerie is in port charles , i will always be reminded of how she targeted my marriage and seduced my husband . [ scene_break ] johnny : oh ! i am sorry . my fingers are frozen . i ca n't even grip the metal . valerie : you know what ? do n't worry about it . you 've gone above and beyond . i can just sit and wait for the tow truck . they said they 'd be here in a few hours . johnny : no , i wo n't have it . i want to give it another shot . besides , i hate not finishing something i 've started . valerie : [ chuckles ] i know what you mean . johnny : i bet you do , soon - to - be - officer spencer . the ... [ both chuckle ] johnny : so , i bet police academy 's pretty tough . valerie : yeah , it is , but i love it . johnny : mm . valerie : it makes me feel like i have a purpose , you know ? johnny : yeah . but i 've also heard of people finding purpose where they do n't get shot at every day . valerie : [ laughs ] true . johnny : yeah . so , you tackle any perps yet ? valerie : mm , no comment . johnny : ah ! [ both laugh ] johnny : you remind me of somebody that i know . valerie : is that a good thing ? johnny : definitely . [ breathes deeply ] i think the fingers have thawed . i 'm gon na give it another shot . yeah . yes . this may be it ! valerie : did you find it ? johnny : looks like . i may have fixed your car . valerie : my hero . [ both chuckle ] [ scene_break ] elizabeth : if you insist on gloating , can you at least do it in private ? i do have to work here . and unless you want me to lose my job on top of everything else ... carly : oh , would n't you love that ? because then you could make it my fault that you lost your job . just like it 's sam 's fault that you lost jason , huh ? never mind the fact that you are the one who lied to him for seven months and you are the one who kept jason from wife and their kid . and you are the one who tried to marry him under false pretenses . what were you gon na do when he remembered everything ? when jason realized that he was a bigamist , did you expect him to ignore his old life ? elizabeth : he does n't remember his old life . and there 's a good chance he never will . but i do know he was happy with me , and i just wanted him to stay that way . carly : oh , my god , you 're crazy ! he was starting to remember things little by little , and he will remember everything . and what the hell were you gon na do ? were you just hoping for the best ? elizabeth : [ scoffs ] carly : or , what , did you have some kind of plan ... that once he remembered , what the hell ? he was already married to you , so he was obligated . you wanted to play on jason 's guilt ! elizabeth : it does n't matter what i was planning because it did n't happen ! he left me , carly . he left me , okay ? and i know that 's exactly what you wanted . never mind the fact that we also have a child together , and now i have three little boys at home whose hearts are breaking . carly : okay , do n't . you stop right there . who set those boys up to invest in jason when you knew that he had another family ? i 'm sorry that your kids are hurting . i think it 's horrible . but , elizabeth , you have no one to blame but yourself . elizabeth : [ sighs ] [ breathes deeply ] franco : hey ! watch out for the art ! [ scene_break ] maxie : yes , i 'm still mad at you for what you did to lulu , but that does n't mean our friendship 's over . and despite our ups and downs , you know , georgie made us family . so i do n't want to see you move across the country . if i can give you a reason to stay , i 'm happy to do that . dillon : well , touched as i am by your heartfelt appeal , i have another reason to stay . maxie : oh , really ? what ? dillon : well , i already said goodbye to lulu , and , uh , to be honest , uh , i 'm just a little uneasy leaving her in this state . maxie : what state is that ? dillon : oh , she just seems a little vulnerable right now . i do n't want her to get mixed up with the wrong people . maxie : what wrong people ? what do you know ? [ door closes ] nina : all right , guys , let 's get back to work . dillon : oh , sounds like a good idea . nina : oh , look . wow . our fearless leader . to what do we owe this visit ? we -- we have been really hard at work . why do n't we show him the pictures for the masthead ? julian : you know what ? that 's okay . i , uh , hate to be the bearer of bad news , but figures for the most recent issue show that circulation is down again , nina . nina : okay , well , as we discussed before , that was the work of your previous editor and has nothing to do with me . julian : i know . i just wanted to keep you apprised . but it might be a little tougher to turn crimson around than i originally thought . nina : okay , can i have a private moment with you in my office , please ? julian : yeah , of course . maxie : [ sighs ] oh , no . dillon : `` oh , no `` what , maxie ? maxie : well , nina is editor - in - chief now , and she 's gon na have to do some fancy dancing if she wants to keep crimson afloat . i know she has learned a lot in a short amount of time , but ... i do n't know if she 's up for this . julian : so , what did you want to talk to me about ? nina : why did you hire me ? [ scene_break ] alexis : i think we can happily co - exist . olivia : mm - hmm . alexis : i 'm just asking that we just , you know , set a few boundaries . olivia : and that i do n't overstep those boundaries . alexis : [ sighs ] it 's tricky . we 're navigating new water , and it 's my fault . i think i - i muddled things by inviting you to thanksgiving . it -- it was probably too soon . olivia : wait a second . is this about the christmas sweater ? you got a problem with your boyfriend wearing a little christmas cheer ? alexis : no , i do n't . no . he can wear whatever he wants . it 's just you assumed that you were having christmas with us , and honestly , i do n't even know what we 're doing for christmas . olivia : oh . [ chuckling ] well , then i guess the joke is on you , because julian already invited me . [ scene_break ] julian : now , listen , i applaud your efforts , nina , but they were n't necessary . i just needed to fill the position , you know , keep the magazine afloat while i wrap up some obligations to advertisers . you just happened to be at the right place at the right time . but , uh [ chuckles ] i do n't have any expectations for the ultimate success of the magazine , so unless , you know , crimson turns into some sort of moneymaking venture , you know , in the next few issues , i 'm just gon na have to , uh ... you know , wrap it up permanently . nina : so you 're giving up on the magazine ? julian : the magazine does n't offer any profit margin , nina , so , uh , i 'll just have to cut my losses . [ door opens ] [ scene_break ] franco : okay , i 'm just guessing , but you seem kind of upset about something . elizabeth : okay , i am not talking to you about this . franco : okay , wait a minute . where do you think you 're going ? hold on a second ! you have made a mess of my art room ! you 're not gon na clean this up ? ! elizabeth : no . franco : why not ? oh , i see . you 're anxious to get back into the fray . trust me , carly can yell at a person for days , and she 's probably ready for round two , so if you are gon na head out there , you should probably -- you should take these . elizabeth : god . so you heard all that . franco : about how you knew jason was jason and you did n't tell anybody , especially not even jason ? elizabeth : you want to yell at me , too ? franco : no . no . why ? i do n't think what you did is that bad . elizabeth : oh , god . i 'm getting sympathy from you ? i 've hit a new low . franco : i 'm just saying that even if you had told jason everything , it would not have made him remember everything . elizabeth : okay , the fact that you 're on my side is terribly disturbing . franco : do n't look an unexpected ally in the mouth ... or something like that . elizabeth : what ? franco : i 'm just saying you could use all of the help that you can get . and you did me a solid , anyway . the longer jason stays in the dark about who he is , the better for me ... 'cause if he ever remembered who he was ... i might be in serious trouble . [ scene_break ] dante : thanks for the advice . sonny : any time . dante : you let me know if you hear anything about that arms dealer , okay ?

[ scene_break ] olivia : since i will not be spending any more time with julian , you can give him his christmas sweater . alexis : olivia , i do n't want to give him his christmas sweater . you can give him the christmas sweater at christmas . i - i just ... you know , want us to be aware of each other 's space . that 's all . olivia : alexis , you got a kid with julian . i got a kid with julian . we all got kids with julian , which makes us kind of like a little family . and if you know anything about me , you know there are very few boundaries in my family . alexis : right . well , fyi -- you do n't know julian very well if you think he 's gon na wear this sweater . [ chuckles ] olivia : we 'll see . [ scene_break ] maxie : oh , great . gon na get -- ooh ! uh , so , julian just left , and , uh , i was wondering -- did he say anything about the budget ? 'cause i was kind of hoping we could keep dillon here permanently . nina : you 're hired . dillon : wow . uh [ chuckles ] thanks . i got to say i 'm a little surprised . julian did n't really seem to be in a giving mood . nina : oh , no , julian has every faith in us . we 're making this magazine a success . [ scene_break ] sonny : dante just wanted to ask me a few questions about the case . carly : mm . sonny : um , how 'd it go with you ? did you run your errands ? carly : yeah . see ? i picked up your prescription . sonny : was that before or after you went looking for jason ? carly : okay , i resisted the urge to track him down . i did . sonny : oh , good for you . carly : mm - hmm . i did run into elizabeth , though . sonny : oh , what -- what -- what -- how 'd that go ? or do i want to hear ? carly : i just told her she had no one to blame for what happened but herself . sonny : oh , i bet she loved that . carly : well , i do n't give a damn . after what that woman did , she 's lucky if anyone will speak to her . [ scene_break ] elizabeth : i will call maintenance and have them clean up this mess . i do n't know why i 'm still here talking to you . franco : because i 'm willing to listen to you . that 's why . and because i know what it feels like to be the town pariah . [ scene_break ] dante : hey . valerie : hey . dante : i got your text . you had a problem ? valerie : yeah . my car broke down , and i missed my session at the gun range . and then , by the time i got there , there was only enough time for the instructor to chew me out . dante : simmons . yeah , he can be tough . valerie : [ sighs ] i had a perfect record , and i blew it ! dante : hey , hey , hey . you know , it 's not your fault that your car broke down . you know ? it 'll be fine . you -- you just , uh -- you just make up the time . valerie : yeah , i 'm sure you 're right . it 's just frustrating . dante : i 'm sorry i missed your call . did you have to wait long for a tow truck ? valerie : actually , there was a really nice guy who stopped and helped me . if he had n't fixed my car , i would have been in a lot more trouble . [ scene_break ] laura : i 'm here for you . you know that , right ? lulu : yeah . laura : no matter what . lulu : thanks , mom . laura : okay , dear . and before you do anything , i want you to stop and think and think again . okay ? because i do n't want you to do something in a moment of anger that you ca n't take back . okay . love you . [ cell phone rings ] lulu : hello ? johnny : hey . lulu , it 's me . lulu : what happened with valerie ? johnny : [ sighs ] relax . all we did was talk . but i know now where she 's vulnerable . all i got to do is exploit it . lulu : well , how do you plan to do that ? johnny : you just leave that to me . [ next_on ] morgan ( to carly ) : here . you want to count them ? let 's count them . ava ( to kiki ) : there is someone that needs you now . michael : i would like to hear what dr. lee has to say . anna ( to mac ) : i have to find out what happened . tracy ( to paul ) : i enjoy spending time with you . emma ( to patrick ) : i really want to see mommy . jerry ( to robin ) : your time has expired . | while lulu is waiting to hear back from johnny , she meets for lunch with her mom and discusses the verdict of her marriage . laura can tell that although her daughter `` says `` she wants to take the high road and be civilized to her estranged husband , given the situation with is infidelity and all , lulu may secretly have revenge on the brain , just like she knows all too well from being with luke , and seeing lulu is very much like her father when feeling hurt and betrayed . meanwhile , johnny has gone off to find valerie after lulu 's asked him to `` make her leave town `` . while driving to her shooting range training for the police academy , valerie 's car suddenly stalls and she 's left out in the middle of nowhere stranded and waiting for help . out of nowhere , johnny appears , turns on the charm , takes time to talk to her while trying unsuccessfully to get her car to start . when she confides in this `` kind stranger `` ( whom she has no clue whom he is or why he 's there ) , about what is important to her , regarding her career aspirations to be a cop , and to be honorable , he plays the hero , gets her car to start and concludes he knows where valerie is vulnerable and how to exploit that , to lulu 's advantage . carly tells sonny she can not just accept what elizabeth has done to jason . she needs to reach out to him and/or confront elizabeth . when she goes to give elizabeth a piece of her mind , while elizabeth is working at the hospital , they go into the art room and franco overhears and witnesses their entire dispute . he takes elizabeth aside , expressing although she may not want to talk to him , it might be to her advantage . he admits to her that while everybody else in the town vilifies her for not wanting jason to know who he is or get his memory back , he ( franco ) has his own reasons for wanting jason to stay in the dark as long as possible . he tells her he knows all too well what it 's like to be the town pariah and admonishes her to think about their common `` goal and need `` . meanwhile , julian is ready to shut down crimson assuming it 's unrealistic to expect nina , maxie or dillon to turn things around in order to make it profitable . yet nina does not want to reveal that to her new staff and wo n't give up although julian wants her to . while with alexis having lunch at the restaurant , olivia unintentionally `` bombards `` them with christmas plans for leo and their mutual family which alexis expresses her `` concerns `` about olivia 's inadvertent invasion of their boundaries . | <s>[INST] julian : i 'm glad that you were able to meet me today . alexis : i had an opening in my schedule , and i 'm more than happy to spend my lunch with you , my love . ah . maybe we could do something that has more than lunch . julian : ooh , you know what ? that does sound amazing . but i deeply regret that i do not have time for anything else today ... alexis : aw . julian : ... because after we finish our ribs here , i have to head on back to the magazine and watch it go up in smoke . [ scene_break ] nina : wow , dillon . you are really gifted . these are great . they 're great . i mean , you , um , captured my soul -- and not my old insecure soul , but my new competent editor - in - chief soul . dillon : i 'm glad you like them . maxie : it 's like i said -- dillon 's gifted . nina : yeah , you were right . and you know what ? there 's something else you were right about . crimson is on a roll . we 're gon na make this magazine a huge success . [ scene_break ] hi , elizabeth . elizabeth : hey . i thought you had the day off . i was called in on the winslow craniotomy . elizabeth : is n't that patrick 's case ? he took a family leave . elizabeth : oh , i did n't know . [ sighs ] are you feeling okay ? elizabeth : yeah , yeah . it 's been a really rough 24 hours , but medically i 'm fine . nevertheless , maybe you should go home . elizabeth : [ scoffs ] i could n't find anyone to take my shift . believe me , i tried . the last thing i want to do is face anyone right now . [ scene_break ] carly : jason , it 's me . can you please call me the second you get this ? no third degree , i promise . i just really want to know that you 're okay . sonny : any luck ? carly : no . sonny : ah . carly : i 've been trying since this morning , since you told me that elizabeth kept the truth from him . they 're better off apart , okay ? but that does n't make it hurt any less . he thought he loved her . sonny : you -- you 're gon na have to let him deal with this himself , carly . carly : okay , it 's not fair , because he confided in you . sonny : we ju -- it was just a conversation . carly : well , i want my turn . jason is hurting , and whether he realizes it or not , he needs me . sonny : you want to help jason ? you need to back off . [ scene_break ] olivia : so [ sighs ] i got to ask you . did you speak with dante about what happened with valerie ? lulu : yeah , dante stopped by the haunted star this morning . olivia : well , i hope you gave him what for .

[ franco & nina kiss ] [ scene_break ] lulu : i obviously was n't thrilled when you told me that dante left rocco alone with valerie , but i took some time to calm down , and i decided to be reasonable . olivia : you did ? lulu : i 'm taking a page from your book . julian is far from your favorite person , but you 're making an effort to get along with him for leo 's sake , and ... i am trying to do the same for rocco . olivia : sweetheart , i am so happy to hear you say that . i think the best thing that you and dante can do right now is just put your little boy first . lulu : i am definitely going to protect my son . olivia : [ sighs ] you know what ? maybe if the two of you just keep your focus on rocco , maybe your problems wo n't seem so insurmountable . and who knows ? maybe you 'll even find your way back to one another . lulu : mnh . let 's not get ahead of ourselves . olivia : hey . laura , i 'm -- i 'm just keeping your seat warm . laura : oh . olivia : [ breathes deeply ] i love my son , but i 'm able to admit it when he 's wrong . and he 's been wrong a lot lately . laura : what did dante do now ?

[ laughs ] ouch . it 's okay . as a woman , you ca n't be too careful these days . matter of fact , i would kick my little sister 's butt if i found out she took a ride from a complete stranger . [ chuckles ] but i [ sighs ] i did see you stranded by the side of the road , stopped out of the goodness of my heart , but you have no idea what my intentions are , right ? valerie : thanks . and thank you , again , for stopping , even though it might be pointless . johnny : oh , no , no , no , no , no . i 'm not done yet . i , uh ... tell me again what happened . valerie : [ sighs ] i - i really do n't know . i was just driving along , and then it just started to decelerate , and then it died , and i had to pull over . johnny : huh . you know , sometimes some of these connections can come dislodged . it 's an easy fix , but it does take a while to find which one . valerie : [ sighs ] how long ? johnny : depends . i hope you do n't have anywhere important to be . valerie : just the gun range . johnny : oh . now that is a conversation stopper . [ both chuckle ] johnny : i promise to keep my hands where you can see them .

[ scene_break ] maxie : these really are fantastic , dillon . i mean , any one of these photos could be the masthead shot . dillon : i 'm glad i could help out . i know you guys were in a bind , needed a photo for your next issue . maxie : yeah . ugh , and now our regular photographer has left us high and dry . he 's going to work for another magazine . dillon : you 're kidding . that sucks . maxie : yeah . it 's pretty much to be expected . i mean , everybody who works for crimson thinks it 's a sinking ship . they 're all fleeing before it goes down . dillon : that 's got to be hard on you , watching the magazine you loved so much go under like that . oh , uh , i do n't think crimson is a sinking ship . i think it 's a beautiful seaworthy vessel that just needs a few upgrades . [ sighs ] actually ... you could help us keep it afloat . [ scene_break ] alexis : so , how 's everything going with crimson ? julian : you know , so far , so good , and by that , i mean bad . the latest numbers came in , and the magazine 's circulation is dropping like a stone . alexis : whoo ! congratulations . julian : thank you . crimson ca n't tank fast enough . i just want to take this tax write - off and be done with it . right now , i 've got more pressing concerns , like our daughter . alexis : she 's having a hard time . julian : mm . well , you know , i just want to help her get past this without any heartache . i mean , how do we do that ? alexis : we do what we 've been doing -- we show her that we 're there for her . that 's all we can do . julian : mm . alexis : she was trying to have the christmas spirit with danny this morning . she -- you know , she 's gon na be all right . she 's a tough cookie . julian : like her mom . alexis : i think she 's a little bit of both of us , god help her . julian : well , that would mean she 's a survivor . alexis : i just think it 's great that we can be here for her as a family . [ door opens ] olivia : oh ! ah , julian ! alexis , hey ! your assistant told me where to find you . [ scene_break ] laura : i know it 's got to feel like she 's trying to take your place , but i really do n't think that that 's what dante wants . lulu : i decided it would n't help anyone if i flew off the handle , so i 'm taking the high road . i thought it 'd be better for everyone if i were reasonable . laura : lulu , what 'd you do ? lulu : what ? laura : i know you , and when you 're hurt , the last thing you are is reasonable . lulu : it 's been known to happen . laura : okay , i 'm not saying that you 're incapable of moderate behavior , but it is not your first reaction ... especially when the wound is this deep . you are your father 's daughter . and when he got hurt , he would get this steely - eyed gleam in his eye , because he already knew the best way to get back at them . and sometimes when i look at you , i see that same look . lulu : what you see in my eyes is pain and anger , because i have been betrayed by my husband . as mad as i am at dante , revenge is not something that i 'm thinking about . it 's not the only thing i 'm thinking about . laura : okay . lulu : i never would have believed that he could betray me like this . i 'm going through like a million emotions every day . first , i - i 'm furious , and then i 'm just sad . and then i want dante back , and then i never want to see him again ! laura : yeah , i know . i understand . it 's a very confusing time . lulu : it is . but the one thing that i am not confused about is that i hate valerie . [ scene_break ] sonny : what do you need to talk to me about ? dante : well , first , how 's your health ? sonny : uh , upper body -- stronger , you know ? [ laughs ] i get around better , and , you know , i can navigate the chair , but my legs ... no change yet . dante : i 'm sorry to hear that . sonny : but you know what ? i - i just got to keep going . you know what i mean ? i 'll get it . dante : yeah , it 's got to be frustrating , the pace of the recovery . sonny : well , epiphany keeps me in line . i do n't really , you know , cooperate very well 'cause i 'm stubborn , but , in the end , i got to do what she says . i got no choice . dante : got to be tough keeping track of everything that 's going on from the sidelines , yeah ? sonny : what are you getting at ? dante : there 's an arms dealer that 's been seen around town . atf 's looking into him , but i wanted to know if you knew anything about why he 's here .

[ scene_break ] alexis : i did n't realize that your assistant was so communicative with your whereabouts . olivia : oh , yes . we 've gotten to be very good friends , me and cheryl . and -- and i told them that i was looking for you , and she sent me right over here . julian : well , is leo okay ? olivia : oh , leo 's perfect . and he 's gon na be even more perfect when i put him in this .

[ laughs ] you know what ? when dante was a little kid , my nonna used to make us matching sweaters every christmastime , and then the two of us would just put them on and wear them all day , take about a million pictures , and , unfortunately , i 'm not as skilled with my knitting needles , but i thought , with a little help from my credit cards , i could carry on the tradition with the three of us . [ laughs ] alexis : wow ! so you -- you three are gon na wear christmas sweaters together ? olivia : oh . i 'm sorry . did you want me to get you one , too ? alexis : no .

[ scene_break ] nina : i can tell by the look on your face . you do n't think that julian thinks i 'm capable of running the magazine ? franco : i just ... do n't pay any attention . i - i had cafeteria food at the hospital . it 's just -- it 's always a bad idea . nina : no , do n't . you 're -- you 're avoiding the question . i thought we were honest with each other . franco : okay . you 're clearly great at what you do , but i 'm not convinced that that 's why julian hired you . nina : why do you think he hired me ? come on . do n't -- do n't treat me with kid gloves . just tell me , honestly . franco : you know what ? forget i said anything . i just do n't -- i do n't like that guy . i do n't like julian . but -- do you -- and i 'm happy that you 're happy with what you 're doing . i - i like that you have something that you love . nina : he does n't think i 'm capable ? is that what you 're saying ? that he hired me because of some kind of joke ? franco : i did n't say that . nina : i mean , because i did n't know what i was doing when i started the magazine , but i learned so much from maxie . and i am editor - in - chief of crimson , and i 'm gon na make it a success . franco : i - i know you ... that 's what i 'm gon na do with this magazine . i know . you are , you are . that 's what you 're gon na do . look , i think you 're amazing . if it were up to me , you 'd be in charge of every magazine in the world . okay , but julian is shallow and superficial and ultimately probably treacherous , and i just feel like he has some kind of agenda . a - and i would hate to see you ever get hurt . nina : okay . um , that 's an interesting perspective . i 'll , you know , give it some thought , definitely . franco : all right . so , then , um , i - i guess i 'll see you at home later ? nina : uh - huh .

[ scene_break ] alexis : olivia ? olivia : yeah ? alexis : can we talk ? olivia : sure . about what ? alexis : i know what it 's like to co - parent when you 're not part of the couple . and , you know , i had to do that with ric and sonny . olivia : mm . alexis : and we had varying degrees of success . it 's tricky . but i think we -- we managed to maintain our separate lives . olivia : so you 're saying you do n't want me spending time with julian ? alexis : no ! no ! i 'm not saying that at all . i -- you have to spend time with julian . you share a child together . i - i 'm just asking or suggesting that maybe we could set some boundaries . olivia : ah . alexis : for example , julian and i were having a private lunch , and -- and we do n't get to do that that often , and you decided you wanted to see him . and i - i 'm just saying that , in the future , maybe you could call first before coming over . olivia : i get it . alexis : [ gasps ] you do . olivia : you 're putting me in my place . alexis : [ sighs ] [ scene_break ] dante : now that the separation 's official , lulu and i are moving on with our lives . sonny : you 're okay with it ? dante : i do n't know if i am or not . but it 's where we are these days , you know ? she brought over separation papers , i signed off on them for her . everyone keeps saying we 're meant to be together , we 're gon na get back together , but ... that 's easy for them to say . sonny : you know what ? you should n't really put any pressure on yourself , because here 's the thing -- there 's not really a -- a magic fix here . right ? i mean , you and lulu are gon na have to figure out what you guys want . it 's gon na take a while . i mean , look at carly and me . we -- we broke up how many times ? all the time , it was painful . sometimes it was ugly . but in time , the anger will fade , and you 'll remember what 's good . now , i ca n't tell you whether you guys are gon na get back together or not , but at least with carly , you know ... ... we found our way back together , and i thank god for that . a few detours along the way . is that what 's going on ? are you going through a detour ? dante : honestly , i do n't know what i 'm doing . sonny : well , that 's honest . dante : [ sighs ] i 'm just , uh ... [ clears throat ] ... just taking it day by day , you know ? sonny : that 's all you can do . i mean , hey , if you and lulu are meant to be , you guys will find your way back together . [ scene_break ] laura : you know , in some ways , it 's -- it 's easier to hate valerie than it is to hate dante . lulu : valerie hurt me just as much as dante did . let 's not even talk about the fact that she is my cousin . laura : yeah , well , she may be your cousin , but she 's not your husband , and she 's not the one who broke any marriage vows . lulu : oh , well , it 's fine . i have plenty of hate to go around . laura : [ breathes deeply ] oh , lulu , please . stay focused on the real problem . lulu : i know that dante is the one that is responsible for cheating on me . laura : mm - hmm . lulu : and if we ever get back together , i will have to find a way to live with what he did . laura : and to be honest with you , i hope that you do find a way back together . but if you do n't [ breathes deeply ] you 've got to remember that you will always be rocco 's parents , and that means putting him first . uh , so , you know ... lulu : i know . laura : ... you 're going to have to learn how to treat each other kindly , sweetie , even when you do n't want to . lulu : i might be able to find a way to come to terms with what dante did , but i do n't see any reason to tolerate valerie . as long as valerie is in port charles , i will always be reminded of how she targeted my marriage and seduced my husband . [ scene_break ] johnny : oh ! i am sorry . my fingers are frozen . i ca n't even grip the metal . valerie : you know what ? do n't worry about it . you 've gone above and beyond . i can just sit and wait for the tow truck . they said they 'd be here in a few hours . johnny : no , i wo n't have it . i want to give it another shot . besides , i hate not finishing something i 've started . valerie : [ chuckles ] i know what you mean . johnny : i bet you do , soon - to - be - officer spencer . the ...

[ scene_break ] maxie : yes , i 'm still mad at you for what you did to lulu , but that does n't mean our friendship 's over . and despite our ups and downs , you know , georgie made us family . so i do n't want to see you move across the country . if i can give you a reason to stay , i 'm happy to do that . dillon : well , touched as i am by your heartfelt appeal , i have another reason to stay . maxie : oh , really ? what ? dillon : well , i already said goodbye to lulu , and , uh , to be honest , uh , i 'm just a little uneasy leaving her in this state . maxie : what state is that ? dillon : oh , she just seems a little vulnerable right now . i do n't want her to get mixed up with the wrong people . maxie : what wrong people ? what do you know ? [ door closes ] nina : all right , guys , let 's get back to work . dillon : oh , sounds like a good idea . nina : oh , look . wow . our fearless leader . to what do we owe this visit ? we -- we have been really hard at work . why do n't we show him the pictures for the masthead ? julian : you know what ? that 's okay . i , uh , hate to be the bearer of bad news , but figures for the most recent issue show that circulation is down again , nina . nina : okay , well , as we discussed before , that was the work of your previous editor and has nothing to do with me . julian : i know . i just wanted to keep you apprised . but it might be a little tougher to turn crimson around than i originally thought . nina : okay , can i have a private moment with you in my office , please ? julian : yeah , of course . maxie : [ sighs ] oh , no . dillon : `` oh , no `` what , maxie ? maxie : well , nina is editor - in - chief now , and she 's gon na have to do some fancy dancing if she wants to keep crimson afloat . i know she has learned a lot in a short amount of time , but ... i do n't know if she 's up for this . julian : so , what did you want to talk to me about ? nina : why did you hire me ? [ scene_break ] alexis : i think we can happily co - exist . olivia : mm - hmm . alexis : i 'm just asking that we just , you know , set a few boundaries . olivia : and that i do n't overstep those boundaries . alexis : [ sighs ] it 's tricky . we 're navigating new water , and it 's my fault . i think i - i muddled things by inviting you to thanksgiving . it -- it was probably too soon . olivia : wait a second . is this about the christmas sweater ? you got a problem with your boyfriend wearing a little christmas cheer ? alexis : no , i do n't . no . he can wear whatever he wants . it 's just you assumed that you were having christmas with us , and honestly , i do n't even know what we 're doing for christmas . olivia : oh . [ chuckling ] well , then i guess the joke is on you , because julian already invited me . [ scene_break ] julian : now , listen , i applaud your efforts , nina , but they were n't necessary . i just needed to fill the position , you know , keep the magazine afloat while i wrap up some obligations to advertisers . you just happened to be at the right place at the right time . but , uh [ chuckles ] i do n't have any expectations for the ultimate success of the magazine , so unless , you know , crimson turns into some sort of moneymaking venture , you know , in the next few issues , i 'm just gon na have to , uh ... you know , wrap it up permanently . nina : so you 're giving up on the magazine ? julian : the magazine does n't offer any profit margin , nina , so , uh , i 'll just have to cut my losses .

[ scene_break ] elizabeth : i will call maintenance and have them clean up this mess . i do n't know why i 'm still here talking to you . franco : because i 'm willing to listen to you . that 's why . and because i know what it feels like to be the town pariah . [ scene_break ] dante : hey . valerie : hey . dante : i got your text . you had a problem ? valerie : yeah . my car broke down , and i missed my session at the gun range . and then , by the time i got there , there was only enough time for the instructor to chew me out . dante : simmons . yeah , he can be tough . valerie : [ sighs ] i had a perfect record , and i blew it ! dante : hey , hey , hey . you know , it 's not your fault that your car broke down . you know ? it 'll be fine . you -- you just , uh -- you just make up the time . valerie : yeah , i 'm sure you 're right . it 's just frustrating . dante : i 'm sorry i missed your call . did you have to wait long for a tow truck ? valerie : actually , there was a really nice guy who stopped and helped me . if he had n't fixed my car , i would have been in a lot more trouble .

hope : taylor , i know you 've had a difficult life . and you love your daughter . you feel for steffy and kelly , and you want to protect them . but ... if being back in l.a. is only going to upset you and cause you all this pain , i mean , maybe this is n't the right place for you right now . i mean , maybe it 's better for you if -- if you leave . dr. buckingham : [ chuckles ] xander , xander . it is good to see you . just like old times . xander : well , it 's good to see you , too . uh , zoe 's been teaching me , uh , a lot about modeling . dr. buckingham : mm . i hope the two of you learned a little after the breakup . i was n't happy when you abandoned my daughter , xander . and i was even more disturbed after you chased him to los angeles . zoe : dad -- dr. buckingham : zoe is an ambitious , intelligent young woman . she has n't always had the most stable upbringing , and that 's my fault . i 'm a very busy man . but ... now that i 'm here , i plan on spending a a lot of time with my daughter . steffy : [ sighs ] liam : steffy , i did n't tell hope to upset you or stress you out . steffy : she did n't have to know , liam , we agreed . liam : we agreed at a time when it did n't involve her . i mean , my whole thing was , `` well , if my dad can let it go , then i can let it go . `` but then , when i see your mom going after hope -- steffy : [ scoffs ] liam : look , hope deserves to know what happens when this woman is pushed to the brink . steffy : she 's not gon na fly into some blind rage because hope pushed her buttons . liam : she accused hope of ruining our lives , o - of coming between me and kelly . steffy : well , she 's disappointed with the way things turned out . liam : she 's out of line . and i told her she 's out of line , and now you 're making think , `` well , gosh , did i just make things worse ? `` 'cause i do n't want your mom to see hope as the enemy . that is how she saw my dad . steffy : no , no . what happened with bill was an isolated event . liam : [ sighs ] steffy : a moment of emotional crisis . he told me he was n't gon na say anything . liam : and -- and he didn't . and i only told hope . steffy : liam , you just put an even bigger target on my mother 's back . what she did was wrong and out of control , but it scared her more than anyone . hope 's not in danger , liam . right now , because of what you did , my mother is . taylor : how dare you tell me to leave los angeles ? brooke : she was just expressing concern for you , taylor . taylor : she wants me to abandon my daughter and my granddaughter . i wo n't do that . brooke : [ scoffs ] hope : no , i was just suggesting a little distance -- taylor : oh , stop . i already did that . i got out of your way , and i went to paris , and look what happened . i thought my daughter was happily married , expecting a baby . i thought everything was fine . but obviously i was wrong . hope : but that was n't because you were n't here . taylor : my daughter needed me . she still does . hope : look , i understand it 's upsetting . steffy and bill , her marriage falling apart , it was a painful and awful time for everyone . taylor : liam was coming back to her . i saw the flowers and the cards . he was begging for their life back together . brooke : [ sighs ] hope : liam and i are married now . and we 're getting ready for our little girl . and steffy wants us to be a family , and -- and if you ca n't ac - accept that , if -- if being around us is too difficult for you , then ... taylor : then ... maybe i should n't be ? hope : if it 's triggering for you . taylor : excuse me ? hope : you ... are n't the same ... anymore . taylor : are you listening to your daughter ? the way she speaks to me ? the arrogance ? what she 's asking me to do ? to leave los angeles ... and rip my family even further apart ? like i 'm not supposed to be with my own daughter and my own granddaughter ? i 'm not putting up with that . no one is going to tell me that i have to get out my daughter 's life . and anyone who tries to push me out of it will regret it . dr. buckingham : so ... are you and xander ... ? zoe : dad , you did n't need to come here to take care of me . i have done just fine on my own . dr. buckingham : i know . i know , i know . look , i 'm just ... [ sighs ] i 'm just so proud of you . zoe : uh , so the hospital must be very excited to have such an internationally renowned physician joining their ob / gyn team . dr. buckingham : [ chuckles ] i 'm just trying to make a fresh start in los angeles . it 's done you a world of good . maybe it will do the same for me . look ... can i just get a hug ? zoe : [ sighs ] steffy : i do n't know how my mom 's gon na react when she finds out hope knows . liam : well , do n't tell her . i mean , if it 's gon na freak her out , why bring it up ? steffy : this is my mom 's biggest fear . her secret being exposed . liam : but being here , being around us , is -- is clearly triggering her . it 's causing her distress . wh -- why add to that ? why make that worse ? steffy : i see your point , but [ sighs ] i 'm not sure that 's the answer . liam : steffy -- steffy , your mom is struggling . being in l.a. , it 's hard for her . a - and -- and i know she wants to spend time with you and kelly . i just -- i do n't think that 's a good idea right now because you and hope are working on something . you 're bonding . you 're trying to build a foundation for our kids . [ steffy sighs ] and ... i do n't think your mom is on board with that . [ door opens ] taylor : sorry for barging in . steffy : mom ! liam : you 're still here ? taylor : uh , pam told me the two of you were in here talking , and i do need to talk to both of you . but i feel like i 'm interrupting something ? were you two arguing ? steffy : no . taylor : you sure ? because something is wrong . what is it ? or do i even have to ask ? steffy : i 'm not sure what you heard . taylor : [ scoffs ] well , it could n't have been worse than the hateful nonsense i had to hear from hope and brooke just now . brooke : did you know that taylor was back in town ? hope : no . brooke : liam did n't warn you ? hope : warn me ? brooke : that she was here . after the last time , i thought she would have learned how to behave . i still ca n't believe how she acted at your wedding . this is ridiculous . she is absolutely crazy . you heard the things that she was saying . hope : taylor has n't been herself lately . brooke : no , no , that is taylor . that is who she is , blaming all of her disappointments in her life on our family . hope : and bill , too . honestly , mom , i -- i 'm really worried about her . brooke : honey , i do n't want you to worry about taylor . you need to focus on yourself , and this beautiful little baby growing inside of you . hope : but this is why it 's so important . mom , i can not have you getting into it with taylor , and i certainly do n't want her coming after you . brooke : honey , i can handle myself . hope : maybe in the past , when she was more in control . look , i -- ugh ! god , i - i was n't going to say anything , but ... i do n't know . hearing the way she was talking to you , and telling you that she despises you more than anyone in the world ... [ sighs ] you need to know . brooke : know what ? hope : taylor has done something terrible . and you 'll never be able to see her the same way again . steffy : you were talking to hope ? taylor : i - i know liam was n't happy with the way i spoke to hope earlier . liam : but you confronted her again ? taylor : well , i was having a private conversation with brooke , and then hope came in and interjected herself into that conversation . [ liam sighs ] steffy : okay , mom , i really think that you need to give hope some space right now . taylor : [ sighs ] i 'm sorry you thought i was being unfair to hope . i was trying to express my feelings . i 'm -- i 'm sorry that hope took that personally . steffy : mom , please . hope 's baby and kelly , they 're gon na be half - sisters . you ca n't argue every time you 're in a room together . taylor : i apologize for that . i di -- i did n't come here to l.a. to cause problems and -- and stir up tension , all right ? i 'm here because i want to be near my granddaughter . this time goes by so fast . all of the milestones -- the first words , her first steps -- i do n't want to miss any of them . and i do n't want to be wasting time arguing with everybody . i don't . i would be lying if i did n't tell you both that it breaks my heart what 's happened to kelly 's family , that it 's been broken . [ sighs ] and , liam ... i realize you do n't want to hear this , but it has to be said . this is n't -- it 's not the life that you wanted for your little girl . you were committed to steffy . the two of you were going to raise that baby together . and you would be doing that today if it had n't been for bill . and if hope had just let the two of you work out your differences , and if brooke had just stayed out of it -- steffy : okay . mom , stop . please . taylor : honey , i know you 're going to tell me that this was all your choice , but it wasn't . and brooke and hope can pretend that this is the way things were meant to be , but you both know they 're wrong . they 're wrong ! hope : [ exhales ] i - i do n't know how to say this . i just found out myself , and i - i 'm still trying to process it . brooke : process what ? sweetheart , i can see that you 're upset . what happened ? did taylor do something ? did she say something ? hope : you remember when bill was shot ? liam was staying in that hotel . he and steffy had just broken up , and ridge was furious with bill . i mean , so furious that they thought he might be the shooter . brooke : yeah . why would you bring that up now ? ridge was cleared . hope : yeah , but the police never found out who actually shot him . brooke : yeah , i know . and that still worries me . hope : it should . brooke : why do you say that ? hope : because i know -- i know who shot bill . brooke : what ? who ? hope : liam just told me . he 's ... known for months . along with steffy and bill . they 've been keeping it a secret . brooke : why ? hope : to protect the shooter . brooke : [ scoffs ] why would anybody want to protect the shooter ? bill was almost killed . who was it ? hope : okay , you ca n't say anything . brooke : who shot bill ? hope : it was taylor . brooke : what ? taylor ? no , taylor -- she would n't be able to pick up a gun and shoot somebody . hope : i know . i could n't believe it , either . but it 's the truth . brooke : taylor was in paris . hope : yes , but when she thought that bill had taken advantage of her daughter , she flew back here , she went to bill 's house , she picked up his gun , and ... she shot him . it was taylor . brooke : [ exclaims ] taylor ? taylor shot bill ? ! taylor ? !Summarize.[/INST]very calm now taylor tells hope and brooke that liam is with hope now but it was with bill 's machinations . that beautiful little girl would be with her family now if not for him . hope politely tells her to quit living in the past . liam is a good father now to kelly as he will be to their own daughter and they should all be able to live with that . no one is more surprised than zoe to see her father just pop in at forrester 's to see her . he says he has been following her accomplishments and they are amazing and he is proud of her . she questions more and he says he is still working on his project and will be here for a while . xander comes in and also is surprised to learn he will be living here now . steffy is very unhappy that liam told hope about her mom shooting bill . liam says he is worried about hope and the baby and also her mom since she is capable of murder . he does not want taylor to look at hope like she did with bill . steffy says hope is not in danger as that was a one time thing with bill . she will not fly off the handle like that again . hope laments to taylor that she knows she loves her daughter and baby kelly but if living here in los angles is going to cause such turmoil for her maybe it is time for her to leave . taylor reminds them that she did leave once thinking liam was going back to steffy and her baby and now look what happened . so she will not stand here and listen to hope or anyone tell her she needs to leave her daughter just to make their lives happier . and if they do , well</s> | 569 |
judge : ms. logan , that 's enough ! brooke : i deserve to be heard ! storm : brooke , please . sit down . please . brooke : no , stephanie forrester is trying to destroy me . the only reason this hearing is happening is because she hates me . i can accept that , but i ca n't accept the fact that she brings in child protective services and fabricates some story that i 'm an unfit mother ! i 'm a thousand times better mother than she will ever be !

[ scene_break ] judge : now that you 've had a chance to calm down , perhaps you 'd like to answer some questions . brooke : yes , your honor . judge : all right . on the night the children were left alone , you fell asleep in the car ? is that correct ? brooke : i had a very emotional week . and i did n't want the children to see me like that so -- while i was driving home , i just pulled off to the side of the road to gather myself a bit . and i did n't realize that i was so tired . judge : according to ms. bascomb 's report , the children were in the care of your sister , donna ? brooke : there was a misunderstanding . donna left before i got there . judge : will you explain that ? storm : your honor , if i may ? i 've spoken with our sister , donna . and it turns out that it was raining that evening . donna thought she saw brooke pull her car into the driveway . since donna had a flight to catch that evening , she did n't stay to confirm that brooke was actually in the house . judge : i see . and on the day of the fire , the children were in the care of dominick marone . brooke : my ex - husband . judge : but not the children 's father ? brooke : he 's like a father to both of them . judge : he brought the lighter that started the fire into the house . brooke : he left it there accidentally . judge : do you always allow your ex - husband to smoke when he 's with the children ? brooke : he was n't smoking . he was playing . judge : playing ? brooke : pirates . nick is a sailor . and he was showing the kids how to make a treasure map . he was burning the edges with the lighter to make it look old . but the point it , i mean , he 's very responsible . he would never do anything to put the children in danger . storm : your honor , the point is my client is right . she 's a wonderful mother . there 's no reason whatsoever for ms. bascomb to take those children out of their home . judge : i 'd like to hear what ridge forrester , the boy 's father , has to say .

[ taylor remembering ] brooke : i do n't deserve to have those kids , taylor . i know that i can be a good mother . it 's just that whenever something goes wrong romantically , that is all i think about . i become obsessed with it . and everything else takes a back seat . taylor : brooke knows that , you know , she 's done some things that have been wrong . but , parents do their best . and -- they learn from those mistakes . and that 's exactly what i think brooke has been doing . and i really , i believe that , that 's what she 's been doing . judge : are you a mother , dr. marone ? taylor : yes , i am . i have three grown children , and i 'm expecting one right now . judge : if you had children the same ages as ms. logan 's , would you feel comfortable , in her present state , with her taking care of them ? storm : your honor , i do n't see how this is relevant . judge : i would like to hear dr. marone 's answer . let me ask it another way . would you trust ms. logan to take care of your baby ?

[ taylor remembering ] brooke : i do n't deserve to have those kids , taylor . i know that i can be a good mother . it 's just that whenever something goes wrong romantically , that is all i think about . i become obsessed with it . and everything else takes a back seat . taylor : brooke knows that , you know , she 's done some things that have been wrong . but , parents do their best . and -- they learn from those mistakes . and that 's exactly what i think brooke has been doing . and i really , i believe that , that 's what she 's been doing . judge : are you a mother , dr. marone ? taylor : yes , i am . i have three grown children , and i 'm expecting one right now . judge : if you had children the same ages as ms. logan 's , would you feel comfortable , in her present state , with her taking care of them ? storm : your honor , i do n't see how this is relevant . judge : i would like to hear dr. marone 's answer . let me ask it another way . would you trust ms. logan to take care of your baby ? [ taylor remembering ] brooke : i 'm a bad mother . i ca n't raise those children on my own . taylor : uh -- no , i would n't .Summarize.[/INST]brooke keeps blabbering to the judge that she ca n't sit here and listen to this . she is a thousand times better mother than stephanie will ever be . brooke takes the stand and gives her side . the judge then wants to hear from ridge . right off he says he does not want the kids taken away from brooke , but he was very upset to hear they were left alone that night and the fire the following day . he urges brooke to just take the time to get her life back together . storm pretty well rips ridge 's testimony apart by grilling him about his arrest in shane 's case . stephanie testifies that she did not initiate the call to cps and any vendetta is not the issue . the issue is whether brooke is a fit mother . and she proceeds to fill him in on the family history of brooke and her husbands / men in her life and children who will suffer as a result . taylor shows up and immediately takes the stand . brooke thanks her beforehand for doing all she can do keep her family together .</s> | 4,863 |

[ scene_break ] julian : so , this gene , the owner of the bar , he saw you the night of the murder ? alexis : yes . julian : did he see you leave ? alexis : he 's the one who remembered it for me . julian : okay , well , i mean , if he did n't tell the cops what -- what happened , then obviously he did n't see anything that would incriminate you . alexis : not necessarily . he said that he does n't discuss customers . you know , it 's barman 's code or something , and that 's why he did n't answer any of franco 's questions . julian : okay , well , did he act like he thought maybe you killed baker ? alexis : he covered for me . that 's all i know . i do n't think he cared whether i killed him or not . julian : did he see you and tom leaving the bar ? alexis : he saw me leave , he saw baker follow me , and i think he assumed that -- that he caught up with me . julian : okay , alexis , that 's just speculation . you 're not thinking like a lawyer right now . you need to think . alexis : i 'm sorry , i 'm not at my best right now . julian : [ sighs ] okay . what about the alley ? did anybody see you out there ? anybody who could 've seen what had happened ? alexis : i do n't remember . i do n't remember . it was just me . julian : alexis ? alexis ?

[ scene_break ] kiki : tom baker was killed ? franco : yep . and i had nothing to do with it , but the police seem to think that i did . kiki : well , do you have an alibi ? franco : kind of . i mean , if i told the police where i was when tom was killed , i would look even more guilty . kiki : okay , well , are there any other suspects ? maybe , i do n't know , you could start looking into it yourself , see if you can figure out who killed him . franco : actually , i already know who killed him . kiki : okay , that 's great . why do n't you go clear your name ? franco : right , that was my first impulse , too . but the more i think about it , the more i realize that i ca n't go to the police .

[ scene_break ] kiki : if you turn whoever killed tom baker in to the police , you clear your name . why would you even hesitate ? franco : it 's not that simple . kiki : how did i know you were gon na say that ? franco : okay , look . tom baker was the lowest of the low . he completely deserved to die . the person who killed him should n't even be punished for it . kiki : okay , even if you think that this person who killed tom baker was doing a public service , that does n't mean that you should go to jail for it . franco : i may be innocent of this , but i have committed other crimes . and the person who did kill tom baker ... i did something to hurt someone in her family . kiki : her ? oh , so the killer 's a woman ? franco : please stop . no , cut it out , please . kiki : will you tell me , please ? franco : no , stop . i 've already said too much . kiki : [ sighs ] fine . you do n't have to tell me . but with everything that we know about tom baker , we know that she was probably just defending herself from him , so she probably wo n't go to prison , because it 's self - defense . franco : i guess it 's a possibility , but i 'm not gon na take that chance . kiki : so , what ? you 're just gon na let yourself be arrested for a crime that you did n't commit ? franco : i have no idea what i 'm gon na do . i do n't know . all i know for sure is that i ca n't turn this woman in , even if that means that i lose elizabeth . [ scene_break ] alexis : i 'm not gon na drink . julian : well , you 're right . i 'm gon na help you through this . tom : if you stay sober , you 'll never be rid of me . you 'll have no choice but to admit what you 've done . stand before everyone you know and admit that you murdered me . alexis : no . i did n't kill you . i could n't have . i did n't . julian : hey , alexis , there 's nobody there . you 're hallucinating . hey , sweetheart , it 's just a -- just a symptom of your withdrawal . alexis : do n't you see him ? tom : i 'm the only one who could tell you the truth , who knows what you really are . [ scene_break ] sonny : so , you really think this woman 's pulling the strings ? she had that bomb planted in julian 's car ? jason : yeah , i do , but we were n't able to find much evidence before the pawn shop burned up in flames . sonny : right when you were there ? jason : yeah . convenient , right ? sonny : well , glad you got out . sam : yeah , me , too . jason : [ clears throat ] sonny : any theories on who this woman is ? jason : i 'm not sure , but at the moment , i think she , uh -- she must have a personal tie to julian . [ scene_break ] valentin : since nina and i were married kind of unexpectedly , there 's something very important that we did n't have . can you guess what that is ? charlotte : wedding rings . valentin : that 's right , wedding rings . so we had to improvise . charlotte : what 's `` improvise `` ? nina : improvise means you kind of have to work with what you 've got . there were some beautiful decorations in the church where we got married , and your papa and i made rings out of ribbons , see ? valentin : but ribbons wear out , and wedding rings last . so while you were skating , i went to the jewelers . charlotte : you got wedding rings ? valentin : i did . and even though you were n't at the ceremony , will you please help us exchange our wedding rings ? you can start by opening the box . charlotte : nina , your ring is so pretty . nina : it is . charlotte : now what ? valentin : well , now you hand nina my ring and you hand me nina 's ring . nina : [ chuckles ] valentin : we 're gon na put the rings on each other 's fingers . nina : uh , but first , um , i guess i have to get rid of this , right ? but i 'm gon na put it somewhere safe in a keepsake box . valentin : now nina gives me her hand , and i 'm gon na say some special words . this is my promise to you . charlotte : now what ? nina : now i take your father 's hand , and i say special words . i say , `` with this ring ... i thee we d . `` charlotte : now what do we do ? valentin : we kiss . charlotte : yay ! [ scene_break ] tremblay : um , sorry to come knocking at this late hour . uh , i wish that i could 've told you this news when you were in my office earlier . nathan : not at all , inspector . what have you got ? tremblay : well , we found the body of a woman in the river about a month ago -- an apparent suicide . we were in the process of identifying her when somehow her records got mislaid . after your inquiry , we re - ran those prints , and they were a match . i 'm very sorry , but ... claudette beaulieu is dead . [ scene_break ] kiki : does elizabeth think that you killed tom baker ? franco : no , i do n't think so . i think elizabeth believed me when i told her i did n't kill tom . but i 've done so many other crazy things in my life that it 's hard for her to trust me completely . kiki : oh , i 'm sorry . franco : it 's okay . i understand all of her doubts . it 's just ... hard to let go . kiki : wait , you guys broke up ? franco : we 're taking a break . it was my suggestion . i wanted us to be able to restart our relationship with a clean slate after i prove to her and to the rest of the world that i 'm a good guy . that 's why it was so important that i find the real killer , then after finding the real killer , i ca n't turn the real killer in , so i guess i 'm just gon na remain the prime suspect , and that 's how it 's gon na be . you can not tell anybody that i told you this . kiki : so i 'm just supposed to watch you go to prison ? franco : well , i have n't been arrested yet , and i was nowhere near the bar the night that tom baker was killed , so who knows ? maybe the cops wo n't even have enough evidence to charge me . kiki : there should n't be any evidence . you 're innocent . franco : it 's complicated , kiki . [ sighs ] you ca n't say anything . kiki : fine . i wo n't say anything . your secret 's safe with me . franco : thank you . kiki : but would it make a difference if i told you that elizabeth stopped by earlier today ? [ scene_break ] nathan : i ca n't believe that claudette would kill herself . maxie : the inspector said that her prints were a definite match for the woman in the river . nathan : hey , i know her life had taken a bad turn , but ... whenever -- whenever claudette was down , she would just plot her next move , figure out the best way to help herself . i know she would lash out in anger at other people , but i never would 've thought that she 'd have done it to herself . maxie : well ... claudette is gone , and the important thing is we know what happened to her . how are you feeling ? nathan : i do n't know . i 'll be the first to admit that claudette was not the easiest person to be married to . she was needy and impulsive and selfish and , lest we forget , she cheated on me . maxie : but you loved her . nathan : yeah . yeah . for a few years , i really did . [ scene_break ] nina : that is beautiful . can you draw another flower right here ?

[ scene_break ] sam : well , is that photo familiar at all ? sonny : i 've never seen him before . but it could be julian as a kid . sam : okay , could you think of any woman that would have longstanding ties to julian ? sonny : my guess is the woman is a cover hired by julian to act as a smokescreen . sam : [ sighs ] jason : could be . sam : do you mind if i use your bathroom ? sonny : go ahead , yeah . sam : thank you . jason : everything okay ? sam : um , yeah . our future soccer player 's just kicking up a storm right now . sonny : you know where it is . sam : yeah . sonny : all right . sam : of course . thank you . sonny : [ chuckles ] i - i remember , you know , when mother nature called when carly was pregnant . it drove her nuts , drove me nuts . it was , like , all the time . jason : yeah . so , uh ... when we walked in , things looked a little tense between you and nelle . everything okay ?

[ scene_break ] franco : elizabeth was here ? why did n't you tell me that ? kiki : she asked me not to tell you . but now that i know all of this , it seems a lot more significant that she was here . franco : you sure she was here to see me ? she was n't , like , just doing , like , a hospital fundraiser door to door ? kiki : yes , she was here to see you . okay , whatever doubts that elizabeth may have about you , they obviously do n't outweigh the feelings that she has . franco : maybe . kiki : you have a chance with elizabeth . a good chance . so , are you still gon na keep your mouth shut about the person who killed tom baker , or ... gon na change your mind ? franco : all i know for sure is that i ca n't go to prison .

[ scene_break ] alexis : what i want is for this nightmare to end , and the only way that i can do that is -- is if i remember what happened that night , so i need to keep a clear head . and as much as you will drive anyone to drink , i ca n't have one so that i can keep a clear head . i stay sober , so be it . julian : alexis , the only reason you 're jumping out of your skin right now is because you 're starting to go through withdrawal from the alcohol . alexis : you know what ? since you insist on talking , then let 's just do it . let 's just do it . you just -- you just talk about it and jog my memory . julian : uh , okay . all right , so franco , he has this picture of you with tom that he posted online that night . is there anybody else who could place you at the bar ? alexis : i do n't remember . i - i do n't remember -- just bits and pieces . julian : alexis , you need to think . you need to -- tell you what , you need to just place yourself at the bar . did you talk to anybody ? alexis : gene , the owner . gene . his name is gene . [ scene_break ] jason : you 're right . he does look familiar . sam : right ? i mean , the paper and processing , barely decades old , but ... oh , my god . i think i know who it is . jason : who ? sam : julian . jason : if you 're right and this is julian , then he is definitely connected to rudge and whoever rudge is working for . sam : but why would it be in the background ? jason : i do n't know . whoever this woman is , she has a relationship with julian , and ... maybe this kid . sam : [ sighs ] jason : it 's gone back decades . sam : i - i just do n't know who it could be . i 'm telling you , when i accused ava , she could n't stop laughing . she seemed shocked , actually . what do you want to do ? jason : i guess we should , uh , go see sonny , tell him what we 've found so far . [ scene_break ] charlotte : you married my papa ? nina : yes , i did . charlotte : does that mean nina 's gon na live with us ? valentin : yeah . yeah , it does . is n't that fun ? i mean , you 'll be able to play together any time you want to . nina : yeah . you -- you can come to me when , um , oh , gosh , uh ... when you need help picking out your clothes and when you skin your knee and when you 're hungry and you want a snack . you can also come to me when you want to build a fort in the living room . [ clears throat ] and you can come to me when you want to play in the snow , 'cause we 'll play in the snow together . and , you know , i 'm still gon na be nina . i 'm just gon na be with you from the time in the morning when you need braids in your hair until ... you want to read a story at bedtime . uh , that sounds fun , right ? charlotte : it sounds wonderful ! nina : [ chuckles ] [ scene_break ] maxie : you want to buy a house ? nathan : well , yeah . i was -- i was thinking three bedrooms , maybe one for you and me and -- and one for georgie when she comes to visit , and , uh , you know , maybe one for her brother or sister when the time comes . maxie : wow , you 've really been thinking about this . nathan : max , i mean ... i wanted to build a life with you since i met you . i do n't want to wait any longer than i have to . what do you say ? maxie : when can we move in ? nathan : really ? maxie : really .

[ scene_break ] franco : [ sighs ] this is good . you sure you do n't want some ? kiki : oh , yeah . i 'm stuffed . dillon and i literally stuffed ourselves . i ca n't even think about taking another bite . franco : look at you . you seem happy . kiki : i am . franco : all right . well , dillon 's okay in my book . i know you were in a lot of pain when morgan died , so i 'm glad you 're doing better . kiki : yeah . you know , i do n't think i 'll ever stop missing morgan . but i have to move on with my life , you know ? ultimately , i think that 's what he would 've wanted . life can change really drastically . that 's what i 've learned from morgan 's death , so ... when you find something good , you just got to hold on really tight . you look like you 've got something on your mind . franco : ah . i do n't know . i guess i do . but you seem to be enjoying a much deserved few moments of peace , so i 'm not gon na burden you . kiki : no , i want you to be as happy as i am . you got to get something off your chest , i 'm all ears . franco : you know that guy tom baker ? kiki : the one who came on to me and then you had me lure to your studio ? franco : yeah . that guy . kiki : yeah , what about him ? franco : he was murdered . [ scene_break ] julian : so , this gene , the owner of the bar , he saw you the night of the murder ? alexis : yes . julian : did he see you leave ? alexis : he 's the one who remembered it for me . julian : okay , well , i mean , if he did n't tell the cops what -- what happened , then obviously he did n't see anything that would incriminate you . alexis : not necessarily . he said that he does n't discuss customers . you know , it 's barman 's code or something , and that 's why he did n't answer any of franco 's questions . julian : okay , well , did he act like he thought maybe you killed baker ? alexis : he covered for me . that 's all i know . i do n't think he cared whether i killed him or not . julian : did he see you and tom leaving the bar ? alexis : he saw me leave , he saw baker follow me , and i think he assumed that -- that he caught up with me . julian : okay , alexis , that 's just speculation . you 're not thinking like a lawyer right now . you need to think . alexis : i 'm sorry , i 'm not at my best right now . julian : [ sighs ] okay . what about the alley ? did anybody see you out there ? anybody who could 've seen what had happened ? alexis : i do n't remember . i do n't remember . it was just me . julian : alexis ? alexis ? [ scene_break ] sonny : here 's what i want . d how -- how good it feels to be happy for just a moment ? it 's best for everybody that you do n't say anything about us sleeping together . do you understand ? nelle : i understand . i understand . i just -- i - i thought that by pretending i was with somebody else that i was protecting you . sonny : well , i do n't need your protection . nelle : no , i know . i know that , okay ? i just -- i was just trying to shut the conversation down with carly , and i never expected her to assume that my invented boyfriend was married . you know , she leapt to that conclusion all on her own . none of this was my fault . sonny : no , it never is . [ knock on door ] jason : hey . sonny . sam : hi . oh , um , i - i hope we 're not interrupting . nelle : i 'm on my way out . um , carly asked me to check in on sonny while she 's away . sam : oh , yeah ? where 's carly going ? sonny : australia to bring joss home . nelle : so , um , just let me know if you need anything else . sonny : yeah , yeah , sure . nelle : okay . bye . it was nice seeing you . jason : bye . sam : bye . sonny : you look fantastic . sam : that is sweet . sonny : you all right ? sam : yeah . sonny : feeling good ? sam : i 'm good . i 'm great , aside from the occasional soccer kick . [ chuckles ] i 'm doing great . sonny : that 's good . that 's good . sam : yeah . sonny : did you find out who , uh , planted the bomb ? jason : well , curtis and i , we tracked the device to a pawn shop . we broke into that pawn shop , but , uh , somebody burned it down . sam : with jason and curtis inside . jason : yeah , yeah . anyway , uh , look , we 're pretty sure that julian was not involved in the planting of the bomb , but we 're close to finding out who was . sonny : so , who 's the guy ? jason : actually , we think it might be a woman . [ scene_break ] alexis : y - you 're not here . you 're dead . julian : alexis . uh ... [ chuckles ] who are you talking to ? tom : [ echoing ] dead ? well , you would know , would n't you , since you 're the one who killed me . alexis : get away from me . no , no , no . i do n't want to think about you . tom : there 's an easy way to do that . have a drink . [ scene_break ] kiki : tom baker was killed ? franco : yep . and i had nothing to do with it , but the police seem to think that i did . kiki : well , do you have an alibi ? franco : kind of . i mean , if i told the police where i was when tom was killed , i would look even more guilty . kiki : okay , well , are there any other suspects ? maybe , i do n't know , you could start looking into it yourself , see if you can figure out who killed him . franco : actually , i already know who killed him . kiki : okay , that 's great . why do n't you go clear your name ? franco : right , that was my first impulse , too . but the more i think about it , the more i realize that i ca n't go to the police . [ scene_break ] charlotte : i wish i could 've been at the wedding . nina : so do i , but it was very late . it was way past your bedtime . charlotte : how late ? valentin : well , nina and i got married at the stroke of midnight . charlotte : like cinderella ? nina : mm , well , the opposite of cinderella , actually , 'cause you remember how at the stroke of midnight , all the fairy godmother 's magic disappeared , and cinderella had to leave the ball . charlotte : and the carriage turned into a pumpkin and the horses were mice again ? nina : yep , yep . but you see , at the stroke of midnight , your papa and i , we said our vows to each other , and the church was magical . and no one turned into a pumpkin . the only thing missing was you . valentin : well , there was one other thing that was missing . [ scene_break ] maxie : um , what 's your condition for us to get a house ? nathan : i want one of those over the fireplace . maxie : you 're kidding , right ? tell me you 're kidding . nathan : no , no , no . i 'm completely serious . i grew up in the city . i wanted to be surrounded by the , uh , beauty of nature , and with one of these in our home , i finally can be . maxie : you think this is nature ? nathan : yeah . you think the lodge would sell us one ? [ chuckles ] maxie : i do n't know , but if we 're gon na take the moose home , we need one , two of these throw pillows . [ hits nathan with them . ] nathan : [ chuckling ] okay , okay , okay . maxie : oh , no , i do n't think so . i do n't think so . [ knock on door ] nathan : all right , all right . time out , time out . [ laughs ] inspector tremblay . tremblay : detective west . ms. jones . i have some information about claudette beaulieu . [ scene_break ] kiki : if you turn whoever killed tom baker in to the police , you clear your name . why would you even hesitate ? franco : it 's not that simple . kiki : how did i know you were gon na say that ? franco : okay , look . tom baker was the lowest of the low . he completely deserved to die . the person who killed him should n't even be punished for it . kiki : okay , even if you think that this person who killed tom baker was doing a public service , that does n't mean that you should go to jail for it . franco : i may be innocent of this , but i have committed other crimes . and the person who did kill tom baker ... i did something to hurt someone in her family . kiki : her ? oh , so the killer 's a woman ? franco : please stop . no , cut it out , please . kiki : will you tell me , please ? franco : no , stop . i 've already said too much . kiki : [ sighs ] fine . you do n't have to tell me . but with everything that we know about tom baker , we know that she was probably just defending herself from him , so she probably wo n't go to prison , because it 's self - defense . franco : i guess it 's a possibility , but i 'm not gon na take that chance . kiki : so , what ? you 're just gon na let yourself be arrested for a crime that you did n't commit ? franco : i have no idea what i 'm gon na do . i do n't know . all i know for sure is that i ca n't turn this woman in , even if that means that i lose elizabeth . [ scene_break ] alexis : i 'm not gon na drink . julian : well , you 're right . i 'm gon na help you through this . tom : if you stay sober , you 'll never be rid of me . you 'll have no choice but to admit what you 've done . stand before everyone you know and admit that you murdered me . alexis : no . i did n't kill you . i could n't have . i did n't . julian : hey , alexis , there 's nobody there . you 're hallucinating . hey , sweetheart , it 's just a -- just a symptom of your withdrawal . alexis : do n't you see him ? tom : i 'm the only one who could tell you the truth , who knows what you really are . [ scene_break ] sonny : so , you really think this woman 's pulling the strings ? she had that bomb planted in julian 's car ? jason : yeah , i do , but we were n't able to find much evidence before the pawn shop burned up in flames . sonny : right when you were there ? jason : yeah . convenient , right ? sonny : well , glad you got out . sam : yeah , me , too . jason : [ clears throat ] sonny : any theories on who this woman is ? jason : i 'm not sure , but at the moment , i think she , uh -- she must have a personal tie to julian . [ scene_break ] valentin : since nina and i were married kind of unexpectedly , there 's something very important that we did n't have . can you guess what that is ? charlotte : wedding rings . valentin : that 's right , wedding rings . so we had to improvise . charlotte : what 's `` improvise `` ? nina : improvise means you kind of have to work with what you 've got . there were some beautiful decorations in the church where we got married , and your papa and i made rings out of ribbons , see ? valentin : but ribbons wear out , and wedding rings last . so while you were skating , i went to the jewelers . charlotte : you got wedding rings ? valentin : i did . and even though you were n't at the ceremony , will you please help us exchange our wedding rings ? you can start by opening the box . charlotte : nina , your ring is so pretty . nina : it is . charlotte : now what ? valentin : well , now you hand nina my ring and you hand me nina 's ring . nina : [ chuckles ] valentin : we 're gon na put the rings on each other 's fingers . nina : uh , but first , um , i guess i have to get rid of this , right ? but i 'm gon na put it somewhere safe in a keepsake box . valentin : now nina gives me her hand , and i 'm gon na say some special words . this is my promise to you . charlotte : now what ? nina : now i take your father 's hand , and i say special words . i say , `` with this ring ... i thee we d . `` charlotte : now what do we do ? valentin : we kiss . charlotte : yay ! [ scene_break ] tremblay : um , sorry to come knocking at this late hour . uh , i wish that i could 've told you this news when you were in my office earlier . nathan : not at all , inspector . what have you got ? tremblay : well , we found the body of a woman in the river about a month ago -- an apparent suicide . we were in the process of identifying her when somehow her records got mislaid . after your inquiry , we re - ran those prints , and they were a match . i 'm very sorry , but ... claudette beaulieu is dead . [ scene_break ] kiki : does elizabeth think that you killed tom baker ? franco : no , i do n't think so . i think elizabeth believed me when i told her i did n't kill tom . but i 've done so many other crazy things in my life that it 's hard for her to trust me completely . kiki : oh , i 'm sorry . franco : it 's okay . i understand all of her doubts . it 's just ... hard to let go . kiki : wait , you guys broke up ? franco : we 're taking a break . it was my suggestion . i wanted us to be able to restart our relationship with a clean slate after i prove to her and to the rest of the world that i 'm a good guy . that 's why it was so important that i find the real killer , then after finding the real killer , i ca n't turn the real killer in , so i guess i 'm just gon na remain the prime suspect , and that 's how it 's gon na be . you can not tell anybody that i told you this . kiki : so i 'm just supposed to watch you go to prison ? franco : well , i have n't been arrested yet , and i was nowhere near the bar the night that tom baker was killed , so who knows ? maybe the cops wo n't even have enough evidence to charge me . kiki : there should n't be any evidence . you 're innocent . franco : it 's complicated , kiki . [ sighs ] you ca n't say anything . kiki : fine . i wo n't say anything . your secret 's safe with me . franco : thank you . kiki : but would it make a difference if i told you that elizabeth stopped by earlier today ? [ scene_break ] nathan : i ca n't believe that claudette would kill herself . maxie : the inspector said that her prints were a definite match for the woman in the river . nathan : hey , i know her life had taken a bad turn , but ... whenever -- whenever claudette was down , she would just plot her next move , figure out the best way to help herself . i know she would lash out in anger at other people , but i never would 've thought that she 'd have done it to herself . maxie : well ... claudette is gone , and the important thing is we know what happened to her . how are you feeling ? nathan : i do n't know . i 'll be the first to admit that claudette was not the easiest person to be married to . she was needy and impulsive and selfish and , lest we forget , she cheated on me . maxie : but you loved her . nathan : yeah . yeah . for a few years , i really did .

[ scene_break ] ej : well , now it all makes sense , all the things that you 've done ... rigging the election ... keeping me in the dark . you said it was a test of my character . stefano : it was , all right ? at the time . i mean , i had every hope that you would be the one to take over the family from me . ej : but then , i do n't understand . stefano : [ sighs ] i did not learn about it until the night of your re - election . ej : right . and since then ... everything you 've done has been because i 'm not your son ? stefano : i 'm terribly , terribly , terribly sorry . obviously , i did not want you to find out like this . i tried to tell you myself , but ... i just could n't bring myself to do it . ej : so ... who is he ? my father . [ scene_break ] bo : if someone were going to detonate this bomb remotely , i think they would have already done it . besides that , there would n't be any reason for the timer . whoever set this up was counting on one of us to detonate it by going out the door , or actually somebody coming in . carrie : do you think that you could disarm it ? john : we wo n't have to . gon na call roman and spencer . have 'em send out the i.s.a . bomb squad . not getting any signal . check your phones , everybody . hope : i 'm not getting anything . carrie : i do n't have a signal . rafe : i 've got nothing . bo : nothing here . marlena : no . john : well , folks , we are obviously being jammed . carrie : okay , so we ca n't communicate with the outside world and we 're trapped in here and we ca n't tell anyone about this bomb that someone could just set off and kill us all , right ? it 's the little things in life that make me smile . [ scene_break ] ej : i think the least that you owe me is a little bit of honesty ... do n't you ? so tell me . who is my father ? stefano : [ sighs ] i do not know . i would tell you if i knew . ej : how can you know one half of the secret and not the other ? stefano : because , look ... i told you , i have n't known that long . ej : then who knew before you did ? stefano : alice horton .

[ scene_break ] rafe : carrie , carrie , relax , all right ? john : do n't worry about it , carrie . we can handle this . bo : john 's right . i mean , as long as we work together , proceed logically , carefully , we 'll be able to disarm it . carrie : what if -- what if you make a mistake and you set it off ? rafe : carrie , hey , hey , hey , no one 's gon na do anything foolish here , all right ? just listen to me . everything 's gon na be fine . carrie : [ hyperventilates ] rafe : i promise you . chill . both : [ grunting ] [ scene_break ] lucas : all right , look , time out . sami : that was some -- woman . lucas : that was really good . sami : just think how good it would be if we actually practiced . lucas : i almost forgot how damn good we were together . sami : it 's been a long time , you know . lucas : yeah . [ scene_break ] kate : dear god . sami : oh , my god . lucas : what ? what are you doing ? kate : i think i 'm going to be sick . lucas : [ clears throat ] [ scene_break ] ej : alice horton ? why would she know about something like this ? stefano : when you were a baby ... you became very ill . and your mother , being your mother , did not know what to do . fortunately , she knew enough to call alice horton . alice was the one who got the doctor that saved your life . but , in the process ... she learned the secret of your paternity . but she promised to keep it a secret . ej : but then she told you , so you knew . stefano : no , no , no , no . she exchanged her secret , as a bargain , with me . ej : what kind of bargain ? stefano : that 's -- that 's not important . the important thing is [ clears throat ] that bo and hope somehow or another came across and found the key to alice 's safe deposit box . and that 's where they found that paper you 're holding . ej : so bo and hope know that you 're not my father . stefano : no , no , no , no . that was in a sealed envelope and they never read it . they exchanged her secret for my secret -- that was it . ej : are you sure ? stefano : yes . you and i are the only people alive that know the truth . ej : so if i 'm not your son , that means i 'm not an american . and chad 's not my brother . and lexie 's not my sister . wow . i really am on my own . why would n't you tell me about this as soon as you found out ? why would you keep something like this from me ? stefano : because i did not want to believe it . i am telling you that i prayed as hard as i ever prayed in my life ... hoping that this was not true . ej : what if it is n't true ? [ picks up paper ] look , what if -- what if this is n't from alice ? what if it was planted there by bo and hope so they could come between the two of us ? stefano : i thought about that , all right ? i thought about that , i thought about all kinds of possibilities . ej : but , then why ? stefano : lies . it 's -- i have turned over heaven and earth to find out that it was not true . all right ? and i could n't . [ bangs hands together ] ej : but i love you . i respect you . i spent half of my adult life trying to make you proud of me . stefano : you did make me proud , all right ? you made me very proud as if you were my own . ej : but i was your own . i was your son . stefano : please , please , please stop , stop , stop . i know how it breaks your heart . i know ... how it makes you feel . [ sighs vehemently ] but , you know ... you have not only lost a father , but ... i 've lost a son . [ scene_break ] bo : okay , i could n't find any real tools , but i got this stuff . hope : chopsticks ? bo : yeah . wood 's a nonconductor , so you can work on that without worrying about completing an electrical circuit . john : good thinking , bo . carrie : if austin tries to call me and he ca n't get through , he 'll probably -- he 'll call my dad . and then they 'll come up here and they 'll check on us . john : hey , there you go , there you go . meantime , we 'll keep working on it . you know , if rafe can keep her quiet , it 's gon na be a good thing . bo , let 's take a closer look at this , see what we can figure out . hope : what can marlena and i do ? john : you know what ? it might help if you two would draw a rough schematic of the bomb and the alarm . marlena : sure . hope : that 's really good .

[ stutters ] think of all the things that we 've done together . think of all our accomplishments . think of all the things that we achieved . stefano : look , it was always my hope , my dream , that you would take over the family from me . ej : yes , and i always just wanted to continue your life 's work . stefano : hey , go on . you know , i always saw so much of me in you . ej : but i 'm the same guy . i have n't changed .

[ scene_break ] kate : read 'em and weep , sami . sami : what does this mean ? lucas : let me see this for a second . hold on . kate : well , it 's pretty simple . even sami could understand it . the papers prove that the countess w logo and name belong to me . which means , without the name and the reputation , the company that stefano gave you to run is worthless . [ scene_break ] kayla : was that bo ? roman : uh , no . no , i have n't tried to get ahold of bo or hope yet . that was carrie i called . could n't get an answer . kayla : well , maybe she does n't have reception . roman : i think you 're probably right . kayla : well , listen , you let me know as soon as you reach somebody , all right ? roman : i guarantee you , i will . kayla : okay . roman : okay . [ scene_break ] stefano : there is nothing in this world ... that would make me feel better than to be able to think about you as i always have . but ... i 'm sorry , elvis . it 's not possible . [ scene_break ] bo : whoever did this is very , very good . john : well , dimera can afford the best . you know what , beauregard ? after seeing this , it 's pretty obvious . as much as that bastard wants the other half a coin that we have ... he wants us dead even more . carrie : [ hyperventilates ] oh , my god . rafe : carrie . carrie : i 'm getting a really bad feeling about this . rafe : carrie , carrie . okay , come on . just come over here . just calm down , okay ? just take it easy . carrie : what if it 's not okay ? what if this will be our last minutes or hours that any of us have ? rafe : it 's not . carrie : what if you 're wrong , rafe ? there 's so many things that we have n't done . so many things we have n't said . [ scene_break ] ej : why is it possible ? we are the only two people who know about this . there 's no reason ... why it would have to change anything between the two of us . stefano : something has changed . i know ... that you 're not my blood . [ scene_break ] sami : how could stefano let this happen ? lucas : relax . kate : because he does n't give a damn about you , sami . of course , he does n't give a damn about keeping the company afloat either . all he wants to do is hurt me . so , yes , i have lost everything . but at least i can stop it from benefitting you . lucas : i would n't be too sure about that . kate : oh , come on . would you just give it up ? she 's a lost cause . lucas : i do n't know about that , mom . i got some paperwork of my own . i was looking at that . kate : what paperwork ? lucas : only that i have this . i have a copy of the contract you signed with stefano when he acquired countess w . kate : so what does that have to do with anything ? lucas : a lot , actually . because included in the transfer to dimera were `` all rights , whether now known or hereafter devised , in countess w including , without limitation , all titles , images , properties and patents . `` sami : does that mean what i think it means ? lucas : yeah . yeah . it means my mom 's wrong . stefano owns this company . he 's got it lock , stock ... name and logo . yeah , he owns the company , all right . he can do whatever he wants with it . and , uh , i guess that means ... same for you . you can do whatever you want with it too . kate : [ sighs ] sami : so i think it 's time for you to leave , kate . lucas : no , wait a second . hold on , i want to -- i want to tell you something first . [ scene_break ] spencer : roman , i 'm glad you called . i wanted to let you know that my boss is on his way down here to take over the operation . roman : why is that ? spencer : well , he has a personal interest in being here when stefano goes down . and we both wanted to thank you for making that possible . roman : hey , it 's been a team effort . when stefano goes down , you 'll deserve a lot of credit too . spencer : thanks , roman . but i 'm sure you 're not calling to start a mutual appreciation society . roman : i wish i was . but i 'm getting a feeling that something 's not quite right , up at the safe house . spencer : what is it ? roman : i do n't know . i tried everybody 's cell phone , i ca n't get ahold of anybody . spencer : bad reception in the area ? roman : well , i hope that 's all it is . spencer : hold on . i 'll get into this right now .

[ scene_break ] stefano : you have to understand i do not have a choice in this matter . in my family , blood ties are the only proof of one 's birthright . ej : that 's not true . that 's not true . stefano : what are you saying , `` it 's not true `` ? as long as there have been dimeras , a father never , never denied his child , and no one was ever allowed into the main part of the family without their blood being proven , because ... a blood family is the only thing that can be trusted . ej : what about tony ? oh , come on , you learned tony was n't your son . stefano : [ grunts ] ej : huh ? you did n't just abandon him ! stefano : oh , god . i raised tony from the time he was an infant . you and he -- two totally different cases . elvis , he 's gone . and he was taken from me way , way ... before i had to worry about my own mortality .

[ scene_break ] john : is there a problem with the security system ? rafe : well , the light should n't be blinking , it should be solid once it 's disarmed . bo : did john make a mistake when he entered the code ? john : i thought i was being careful , but you never know . i could 've screwed it up .

[ scene_break ] lucas : well , honestly , when you called me in hong kong and you said that you and will needed me , yeah , i thought about it for a second . sami : just a second ? lucas : come on , i was engaged at the time . what do you want from me ? sami : well , you 're not ... now . right ? that 's changed . lucas : yeah , that 's all changed . just because my fiancé broke it off with me does n't mean that i 'd wan na get involved with the woman who 's made my life a living hell . sami : living hell ? come on , do n't you think that 's a slight exaggeration ? lucas : i do n't know . let 's see , let 's see here . she 's selfish , she 's impulsive , quick to judge , even quicker to get angry about just about anything ... and pretty much unforgiving . i do n't know , sami , you tell me . sami : why are we quibbling over semantics ? lucas : [ chuckles ] i do n't know , maybe it 's just i know what to expect with you , and yet ... i keep coming back for more . i think that 's a sign there . sami : of what ? lucas : well , either i 'm a glutton for punishment or ... there 's something there . sami : so then the question becomes `` are you willing to ... find out which it is ? `` lucas : well , i do n't know . let 's just say ... i 'm curious . just a little bit . sami : me too . lucas : how curious ?

eve : of course i was there , ben . i would n't have missed it for the world . plus , now i know that my invitation was lost in the mail , so i had to watch from the shadows . ben : why ? eve : because i had to see it for myself , and i did . ciara was absolutely beautiful walking down the aisle . she looked like an angel . you , ben , are one lucky man , but i know that you know that . i know that because you were so happy standing there with her . but you know , i had to leave before the end of the ceremony , but i heard ... [ laughs ] that it was a real blast . ben : it was you who blew up my wedding ? i should have known . eve : oh , yeah , you ... ben : i should have known ! eve : should have known . that 's right , you should have known . you had to have known that i 'd still be holding a grudge against you , since you murdered my daughter ! you had to have known that i 've wanted to see you dead ever since you strangled the life out of her . you know what ? and i thought the state was gon na take care of that for me a few months ago . and the day of your execution , i sat by my tv , and i waited -- i waited to hear that it was over , that it was over . but , no , you skated . once again -- one more time , you escaped your punishment . well , let me tell you something right now . you 're not gon na escape this time , you hear me ? you are not . ciara : claire , you think that someone is framing you for everything that 's happened ? claire : is it not obvious ? look , whoever did this knew that i was your maid of honor and that i would be helping you with your dress . ciara : okay , and so you think that they put nail polish on my dress to make you look bad ? claire : yeah , yeah ! and same thing with the engagement ring , and they could have easily slipped something in your drink when i took you out the night before your wedding . ciara , whoever did this knew that everyone would just go right ahead and blame me for all of it , including the bomb . i mean , you see it , right ? you believe me ? ciara : [ scoffs ] i do n't know what to believe anymore , claire . gwen : you took gabi as your date to ben 's wedding ? jake : she was my guest . yes . gwen : what the hell ? i 'm your girlfriend , jake . jake : okay , gwen , i know that you say that you 're my girlfriend , and we 're back together , but we have n't exactly had a chance to discuss where things stand . gwen : where things stand ? jake : yeah . gwen : we are bloody sleeping together . i thought that that meant something to you . jake : we slept together , and that was one time . gwen : are you saying that it does n't mean anything to you ? jake : no , that 's not what i 'm saying , gwen . i 'm just saying , this is all happening so fast , including you moving all your stuff in here ! gwen : do n't you put that on me . okay , i understand that you did n't maybe want to commit to me when you thought that you were gabi 's husband ... but you 're not . you are not stefan dimera . you 're his twin brother , and gabi means nothing to you . jake : i would n't say nothing . gwen : excuse me ? jake : yeah . gabi and i have become friends . gwen : friends ? jake : mm - hmm . gwen : would a friend jab you with a needle full of god knows what ? jake : she thought i was her husband . gwen : why are you defending her , jake ? is there something more going on between the two of you ? were you really looking for ben ? tell me . were you just trying to shack up with gabi ? chad : my wife is sick because of gabi . li : it 's my understanding she was found not guilty by a jury . gabi : that 's right . chad : you know , we can talk about that another time . um , i 'm sorry that you were n't informed that i was out of town . i wo n't let it happen again . li : i should hope not . gabi , it was lovely to see you again . gabi : same for me . li : i 'm so sorry about your ordeal , but thankfully , you are safe and as stunning as always . gabi : thank you . li : chad . chad : yep . gabi : mm . chad : i know what you 're trying to do . i 'm not gon na let it happen . sarah : okay , we are looking good . [ monitor beeping ] eric , you can come back in . sami : so how is she doing ? sarah : well , she is at six centimeters , which means that your body is just about ready to push out that baby , with your help , of course . eric : how you feeling , kid ? allie : it 's hurting a lot more than i thought it would . i 'm -- i 'm kind of scared . sami : that 's totally normal , especially for your first one . but do n't worry . i will be with you every step of the way , okay ? allie : is that allowed ? can someone stay with me ? sarah : oh , yeah , of course . i mean , everybody gets a coach through labor . usually , it 's your partner or whoever , but you can have whoever you want . sami : yeah , how 'bout me ? i 'll be your coach . allie : but i do n't want you . sami : allie , i am your mother . i will be your coach . allie : that sounds like a threat . sarah : i will let you all sort this out . i 'm gon na go alert the delivery team . allie , you are doing amazing . you 're gon na be great . sami : okay , allie , i know that you are upset with me for talking to rafe about not adopting -- allie : upset ? i 'm furious . sami : you 're also scared . you just admitted it yourself . you ca n't go through labor alone , sweetheart . allie : i wo n't be alone . uncle eric will be my coach . sami : uncle eric ? yeah , uh , no . that 's probably not best . i mean , he 's never even had a kid ; i 've had four . one of them is you . eric : allie , i 'm happy to help and hold your hand , but i think your mom makes a good point . allie : then nicole . nicole will be my coach . sami : what ? allie : i want nicole by my side . nicole : i 'd be honored . sami : no freaking way . chad : trying to worm your way back into dimera ? gabi : are we really gon na go there again ? chad : i 'm surprised he does n't see right through it . gabi : he likes me , and i like him . chad : you 're working him . what was the , uh -- that stuff about an `` ordeal `` ? you come up with some story to make him have sympathy for you ? gabi : come up -- i did n't come up with some story . i almost died in that bombing . chad : bombing ? gabi : yes , at ben and ciara 's wedding . chad : you were there ? gabi : and lucky to be alive . chad : why were you there ? they would n't invite you . gabi : i was jake 's date . jake , as in your brother . jake : i was not `` shacking up `` with gabi , all right ? i took her home -- like i said -- and i 've been looking for ben . gwen : are you sure you were n't trying to take advantage of her while she was upset ? jake : no ! gwen , i do n't appreciate you accusing me of lying ! all right ? look , we may have had our issues , but you are the one who stole a book and almost got us killed because of it . gwen : actually wrong -- you are because you took that book from the mob in the first place . jake : okay , fine . you know what i mean , though . you 're the one who destroyed our relationship with your paranoia , and , look , you 're doing it again ! gwen : [ scoffs ] fine . you 're right . i 'm sorry . i just ... [ sighs ] you hurt my feelings when you took gabi with you . i am supposed to be your woman . [ sultry music ] i am your woman , right ? jake : like i said , we need to take time to talk about it . gwen : well , we 're talking now , are n't we ? so just -- just say what it is that you want to say ... okay ? jake : yeah . you 're my woman . gwen : yeah ? jake : yeah . gwen : talk is cheap . prove it .

[ laughs ] seriously ? gabi : yeah , we 're just -- we 're friends , though . he 's stefan 's brother , so i 'm always gon na feel a connection to him . we bonded after his mother died . i was the one that told him . chad : oh , vivian 's dead ? that 's great news . gabi : oh , wow , we agree on something for once . chad : what 's your angle with him ? is he your way back into dimera ? gabi : you know what , chad ? you think you could be a human being for once ? the man i love is dead . i was almost killed by that mad bomber . chad : [ laughing ] ben : [ grunts ] eve : when i planned all this , thought a lot about killing you , taking the tie and wrapping it around your neck and squeezing it until the life left your face . ben : why did n't you ? eve : well , then because that would just be letting you off too easy . ben : huh . so instead , you planted a bomb . eve : aww , that was a mere distraction , ben . vincent came in and whisked you away . ben : you could have killed so many people . eve : come on . there 's a couple people at the wedding that got some bumps and bruises , but you ca n't make a revenge omelet without cracking a few eggs , right ? ben : well , now you got me here . what are you gon na do to me ? ciara : all right , look . all i care about right now -- the only thing that i care about in this world is finding ben . claire : i know . me too . and this is why you have to trust me , okay ? because ben 's life could depend on it and , honestly , ours too . okay ? because whoever did this is evil and dangerous , and they want us fighting with each other instead of going after them . so let 's not give them what they want . ciara : [ snorts softly ] wait a second . you want us to team up ? claire : yeah ! yeah , i mean , we have to join forces , ciara . we have a common enemy , okay ? we got ta find ben and take down whoever did this to all of us . ciara : yeah , okay , but the last time i trusted you , claire , i nearly paid for it with my life . claire : i know . i know , and maybe after all the pain i 've caused you , i do n't deserve for you to trust me ever again . i ca n't really force you to believe me . i just know this . um , i am going to find the person who framed me , and i really hope that i find ben too . ciara : wait , wait , wait , wait , wait . wait . allie : [ sighs ] mom , this is not your decision ; it 's mine . i want nicole to be my coach . sami : i know what you think , honey , but it was actually her friend chloe who carried holly . chole 's the one who gave birth to that child , not nicole . nicole : okay , well , now hang on a minute . i may not have given birth to holly , but i was with chloe alone , stranded in a snowstorm , okay ? i delivered my own child with no doctor and no hospital . allie : and that makes you the perfect coach . you 're hired . sami : i am sick and tired of you trying to take my place with my daughter . nicole : look , sami , that is not what i am trying to do . sami : the hell it isn't . i want you out of here . nicole : look , i 'm not gon na leave until allie asks me to . sami : okay , well , let 's make sure -- sarah : allie , have you decided who your coach is gon na be ? sami : no . nicole : yes . allie : yes . sarah : um ...

[ scene_break ] dorian : i can understand why you have feelings about your uncle . he 's the only connection you have to your mother . langston : he even looks like her . something about his eyes . dorian : must be a very powerful feeling , seeing the resemblance . langston : it means a lot to me that my uncle has found me . someone who grew up with my mother , someone who can give me a history . i love that . but i want to be with you . and if you want to adopt me today , then i 'm fine with that . now , what does that tell you ?

[ scene_break ] shane : where 'd you lose the medal ? brody : uh , i 'm not sure . hey , it 's no big deal . i can always order a new one . shane : is that why you did n't want to go through the security line ? brody : what ? shane : your medals . they would have set off the metal detector , right ? brody : yeah , that 's it . [ scene_break ] dorian : oh ! langston : are you all right ? did something happen ? dorian : no , everything 's wonderful . langston : okay , why did you fix it so that i could leave school early and meet you here ? i told starr i 'd stick by her all day . dorian : oh , your loyalty to starr is really commendable , but this takes precedence . langston : what does ? dorian : your adoption . langston : you mean we 're here because you want to adopt me now ? today ? dorian : now , today , you 're going to be a cramer .

[ scene_break ] dorian : langston , i thought you wanted this as much as i do . langston : it 's just so sudden . dorian : yes , that 's because i moved heaven and earth to get it to happen today . i thought you 'd be thrilled . langston : i am , but -- dorian : but what ? langston : i 'm just channeling the day you rushed me to the doctor when i pretended to be pregnant . it was like , hurry , no questions . let 's just get there and get it done . dorian : this is nothing like that . langston : to you , maybe . dorian : i 'm just in a hurry to officially adopt you because you mean so much to me . langston : do you like the necklace that my uncle gave me ? dorian : it 's lovely . langston : my mother 's quinceanera gift . dorian : so he said . langston : that 's why you wanted to finalize the adoption today , is n't it ? because my uncle ray showed up . [ scene_break ] gigi : why did n't you at least call me ? ms. gunnels : i checked shane 's records . there 's nothing that says he ca n't leave school with lieutenant lovett . gigi : but i was supposed to pick him up today . did n't he say that ? ms. gunnels : well , if you 'd just calm down -- gigi : calm down ? this is my kid we 're talking about . ms. gunnels : shane seemed perfectly happy to leave with him . are n't -- do n't you guys live together ? rex : what the hell has that got to do with anything ? ms. gunnels : what is the problem here ? for heaven 's sake , lieutenant lovett is the boy 's father . rex and gigi : no , he 's not .

[ scene_break ] brody : well , if it 's proof of paternity you need , i 've got the results of a dna test right here . shane : lieutenant lovett is definitely my dad . clerk : i 'm sorry , but a dna test is irrelevant . brody : what ? clerk : we need ms. morasco to come here or to send a notarized copy of her permission . when you get that , you 'll get your name change . shane : so we 'll just get mom 's permission . no biggie , right ? brody : no , shane . we ca n't get your mom involved in this . shane : why not ? brody : i did n't want to tell you this , but it looks like i do n't have a choice . shane : what ? tell me what ? what 's wrong ? brody : it 's your mom . she does n't want me to be your dad anymore .

[ scene_break ] langston : oh , my god , i completely forgot to tell you all about starr . dorian : langston . langston : no , it was so amazing . she went off in front of the whole entire school this morning at assembly . these kids , they were making fun of her , so she completely let them have it . she was telling them how they should use condoms so that they would n't end up in the same predicament she 's in . can you believe that ? i mean , is that brave or what ? dorian : so would you rather have your uncle as your legal guardian ? hmm ? [ scene_break ] todd : i do n't want to -- i do n't have any , okay ? marty : ugh . it 's just funny , it 's when you said you did n't want me to get pregnant , my heart kind of went crazy . todd : because you 're scared of me ? marty : no , no , i felt -- todd : oh , i know . because you 'd like to have a kid . marty : i just -- carrying a child , what an amazing feeling that must be . it 's just -- having another life inside of you . marty : it 's just -- todd : go on . marty : it just must be amazing , that 's all . but we 're going to have one -- i mean , starr 's baby , right ? she 's due in november . everything 's okay , right ? starr still wants you to have -- take care of her baby , does n't she ? [ scene_break ] markko : i just wish i knew where she was . she always tells me . starr : you 'll hear from her . markko : you know , getting with langston was like , the best thing that ever happened to me . starr : she was really happy about it , too . markko : yeah ? starr : yeah , of course , you do n't know that ? markko : i guess so . she thought i was going to freak out when she told me how she acted after her parents died . starr : i know she was really worried about that . markko : and i was like , okay , so she 's not as perfect as i thought she was . you know , she freaks out like everybody else . what a relief , you know ? i mean , i was n't glad about what happened to her parents at all , but it was like she was all mine . but this ray guy , he 's got a hold on her heart , and that 's just the way it is . starr : that does n't mean that she feels different about you . markko : right . that 's what i keep telling myself , anyway . [ scene_break ] dorian : i can understand why you have feelings about your uncle . he 's the only connection you have to your mother . langston : he even looks like her . something about his eyes . dorian : must be a very powerful feeling , seeing the resemblance . langston : it means a lot to me that my uncle has found me . someone who grew up with my mother , someone who can give me a history . i love that . but i want to be with you . and if you want to adopt me today , then i 'm fine with that . now , what does that tell you ? [ dorian sighs ] [ scene_break ] todd : no , starr has n't changed her mind . marty : but she knows we 're going -- moving away , right ? i mean , i know you ca n't tell her about me because of john mcbain , but i still think she 's going to be upset about the separation from the baby . todd : no , no , no . oh , no , no , i told her about what 's happening . she was relieved , actually . she said that it would be too hard to have her baby living close by to her . she wants to get past the whole thing anyway , you know . marty : i guess i can understand that . what 's with you today ? todd : hmm . i guess i feel kind of guilty . marty : why ? todd : because i 'm getting everything i want .

[ sighs ] i have to protect you both . ben : i do not want you worrying about me . jordan : maybe it 's time that i accept that rafe and i just were n't meant to be together . jj : thanks for the offer , man , but i 'd rather stay here . rory : seriously , dude ? bev : do n't bother , rory . let 's get out of here and have some real fun . paige : [ sighs ] jj : thank you . paige : for what ? jj : for saving me from all that . i do n't want to dis rory and -- they were good friends until bev ... anyway , i 'm over that scene , and i would much rather be with you . paige : even when we 're debating ? jj : can we call a truce ? paige : [ chuckles ] jj : and seriously , paige , i did not mean to sound like i was blaming everything on your mom . paige : me neither . i ca n't even believe we were arguing about our moms . whatever happened or did n't happen between them , it was ages ago . jj : you 're right . and for all we know , they 're probably having cocktails and laughing about old times . eve : you know , i think i believed in jack more than he believed in himself . i did . i mean , i really believed that he was so talented and had it in him to write something brilliant and profitable . you know , jenn , i understand that a movie studio is negotiating for the rights to make a film . jennifer : no , eve , please . listen to me . you do n't understand at all . this book was a labor of love for jack , and the proceeds -- they do n't go to me or my children . after everything that he went through , he wanted to make sure that all of the proceeds go to military veterans . and even though he was n't alive to see his book in print , i am telling you , i am gon na make sure that his wish is fulfilled . and i 'm sure that whatever claim you think that you have , even you could n't be hard - hearted enough to take the money from men and women who put their lives on the line every single day to protect us . eve : oh , jenn . jennifer : eve , please . eve : oh , no , listen ... do n't get me wrong . i love vets . i mean , who does n't love a man in uniform , right ? and i donate to them all the time . jennifer : [ sighs ] eve : jenn , you can do whatever you want with your half . but my half -- it 's mine . jennifer : are you serious right now ? eve : it 's what jack wanted . it 's all right here . it 's ironclad , and if you have any questions , you can contact the attorney . his address is right there . jennifer : you know what ? i 'm going to contact your attorney ! eve : go right ahead and do it . jennifer : and i 'm going to because this is not what jack would have wanted . and i am telling you right now , he never even gave you a thought all those years . i - i ca n't even think that ... that you deserve -- are you kidding me ? you are still the same person that you always were . you are a conniving witch , who thinks that you are entitled to something for nothing . man : hey . brady , is it ? brady : yeah . man : hey , i 'm glad you came and shared tonight , man . i hope we see you again . brady : thanks . honestly , i 'm not sure . look , i , uh -- i 've been down this road a couple times , man , and i ... i used to get inspired by these meetings , and now i just -- i do n't know if they 're for me . man : can i convince you to give it another try ? brady : i should , actually , but ... hell , probab -- yeah . i will , i will . man : good . good . i 'll see you soon . brady : all right .

[ cell phone rings ] kate : but do n't give up . he needs your help . jordan : excuse me , kate . i have to go . kate : uh ... [ sighs ] theresa : [ chuckles ] oh , did you come back here to gloat ? john : no . i left my credit card with the waiter . theresa : oh . well , just so you know , brady did n't stand me up . he probably never even got my text . john : actually , he 's trying to get his life together . theresa : what do you mean ? do you know where he is ? w - when you say that he 's trying to get his life back together , do you mean he went to a meeting ? oh , my god . you -- you sent him there , did n't you ? god , you 're really trying to break us up , huh ? john : you know how i feel about your relationship with my son . and if you 're not happy that he 's finally getting some help , then i 've been right about you . you 're selfish , you 're destructive , and i just thank god that it wo n't be long before brady is sober enough to see you for who you are . [ door slams ] brady : get away from her ! theresa : hey . [ sighs ] jj : what 's going on ? eve : well , your mother and i were just doing a little catch - up . but , you know , as much as i hate to cut this short , jennifer , my daughter paige and i have a big day tomorrow , do n't we ? paige : uh , i 'll talk to you later . eve : yes , we 'll see you at the graduation . and , jennifer ... jennifer ? i 'm sure we 'll be seeing plenty of each other . paige : uh , thanks again for having us over . eve : okay , bye - bye . come on , sweetheart . jennifer : [ sighs ] jj : mom , what happened ? go ahead , run in the halls , put your feet on the furniture , john : i 'm just trying to explain to the young lady here -- brady : no , you were trying to berate and pressure her into leaving me . it 's the same tune , it 's a different day . when are you gon na learn that you ca n't run my life , huh ? john : not trying to do that , son . theresa : you know , your dad was just telling me that you went to a meeting and that he did n't feel like i had your best interests at heart . but , look , brady , if that 's what you want to do , then of course i support you . brady : thank you . i ca n't believe maggie told you . john : well , she did n't . i just happened to overhear her leaving you a message . brady : well , you can report back to maggie that the meeting was a complete waste of time . john : why the hell would you say that ? brady : because , dad , meetings do n't do anything for me , okay ? they 're not for me . they do n't work . john : no , come on , son , do n't even -- son , do n't do -- son , do n't do this . brady : bye - bye . maggie : ben , could i get two bags of your esmeralda special ? ben : for mr. kiriakis ? maggie : yes . ben : i 'll be right back . maggie : thanks . [ humming ] kate : hello , maggie . maggie : hello , kate . how are you ? kate : very well , actually . i 'm sure that 's a shock . you 're probably here celebrating over an exotic brew of coffee because victor fired me . maggie : hardly . though , i admit , i 'm not exactly distraught . kate : well , when victor finds out that it was ej and sami who set me up , i 'm sure he 'll be begging me to come back , but please tell him to save his breath , because i wo n't be needing him anymore . maggie : why ? because you 're getting back into bed with the dashing stefano dimera ? kate : would you be relieved by that ? then you would n't have to worry about my intimate relationship with victor anymore . maggie : trust me , kate . i was never worried . rafe : hi . [ chuckles ] thanks for coming . jordan : you said you wanted to talk . rafe : yeah . i miss you . i miss you -- i miss you so damn much , i ca n't stand it . eve : wow . we never had a place like this when i was growing up here in salem . sweetheart , i 've missed you so much . i love spending time with you . paige : mom , when are you gon na get around to explaining what jj and i walked in on ? eve : okay . here 's the truth . jenn and i never actually ever got along . paige : yeah , i kind of figured that out . eve : okay . paige : jj thinks it 's because you both liked the same guy . eve : well , there was ... well , there 's that , and then , um , a long time ago ... i was actually married to jj 's dad . paige : what ? eve : mm - hmm . [ clears throat ] paige : are you serious ? how could you not mention that to me before we showed up on their doorstep for dinner ? eve : i know , i know , i know . i did not handle that very well . paige : [ sighs ] eve : but listen , i was in shock . paige : you think ? [ sighs ] eve : listen , i was in shock when you told me jj 's last name , and we were on our way over there , sweetheart , so -- paige : how long were you married ? eve : not very long . not very long at all . we both realized it was a huge mistake , and we were able to get it annulled , because , you know , we never really actually , you know , did it . paige : oh , am i actually having this conversation with my mother ? eve : but i tell you what , jennifer is still resentful . no , she is resentful . paige : [ sighs ] eve : and i think especially now that she knows that jj 's father has left us this -- this wonderful gift for you and me . and it 's something , sweetheart , that 's gon na change our life forever . jennifer : it was , uh ... it was nothing , really . jj : nothing ? you were just fighting with my girlfriend 's mom . was -- was it about me ? jennifer : no . no . i mean , as you could tell , eve and i have a pretty complicated relationship . jj : she was that girl you were talking about when we found your yearbook , huh -- the one that was trying to steal your boyfriend ? jennifer : yeah . she 's the one . jj : so you were fighting about that ? jennifer : no .

[ gasps mockingly ] fighting ? man , nobody 's ever going to believe it . i got to get this on tape . bev : [ laughs ] jennifer : you 're here about jack 's work ? eve : yes . the memoir he wrote about his time in afghanistan -- it was riveting , heartbreaking . jennifer : you read it ?

eve : yeah . jennifer : why would your name be mentioned ? eve : we were married . jennifer : mm , as you keep pointing out ... for the two minutes before it was annulled . why would jack mention a wedding that was a totally sham ? it meant nothing to him . eve : not quite . go ahead . run in the halls , put your feet on the furniture , maggie : brady , um ... i 'm sure you 're probably in -- in the meeting still . i just want you to know how proud i am of you that you took this first step . and if you need to talk , afterwards or at any time , you know where to find me . okay . john : brady went to a meeting ? oh , please tell me that he 's finally getting some help . when we talk about giving up old playmates , playgrounds , playthings , we mean removing negative influences from our lives in order to focus on our recovery . right ? theresa : well , what do you know about marriage , anne ? just because nobody 's ever proposed to you -- anne : or you . theresa : what makes you so sure that brady wo n't marry me ? anne : okay , listen . you 're very good at getting what you want , i 'll grant you that . but brady black is a trust - fund baby . he does n't have free access to his millions . theresa : well , he still makes more in a week than i make in a decade . and he 's an executive at titan . anne : yeah , at his grandfather 's company , which means old victor kiriakis -- he can cut those purse strings whenever he wants . and something tells me he 's not your biggest fan . theresa : well , that grumpy old man -- he does n't like anyone . anne : okay , l - let 's just say brady does get you to the altar , okay ? what you want is n't his assets , right ? it 's his assets . how do you think his father and grandfather are gon na feel about that ? so i suppose if you 'd be happy to just live in a hovel with only love to sustain you ... theresa : old men have to die sometime , so ... ca n't live forever . anne : yeah , that 's true , but they 're not even your biggest obstacle . theresa : oh , no ? anne : no . there 's brady himself . theresa , you 're the kind of girl brady loves to party with . but marry ? no way . abe : is everything okay with you and jordan ? rafe : well , it 's complicated . abe : rafe , i know this is none of my business , but please tell me this has nothing to do with sami marrying ej . kate : you think you may have a lead on jordan ridgeway ? why does that sound familiar ? ortiz : ms. roberts , i am confident this lead 's gon na pan out . kate : it better . ortiz : look , i 've been all over the ozarks with that picture of ben rogers , or whoever he is , and , well , i finally found some folks who recognize him . kate : so ? what did they say ? ortiz : my contact just walked in . i 'll get back to you as soon as we 're finished talking , okay ? kate : finally . we 're going to find out exactly what you 're hiding , jordan . jordan : you 're my baby brother . i promised i 'd always take care of you . ben : [ chuckles ] well , i 'm a big boy now . and , honestly , i should have just stayed away . jordan : why ? ben : because if i did n't show up , rafe would never know you have a secret . jordan : rafe has known that there are things that i am not comfortable sharing with him . ben : yeah , but that 's different than , `` hey , i did n't tell you this , but i have a brother in town , and would you please mind just not telling anybody that we 're related ? and sorry but i ca n't explain why . `` jordan : it does n't matter anyway . ben : it does n't matter ? jordan : when you 're in a relationship with someone , you ca n't hide who you are forever . i ca n't believe that i could think that i could have a regular life , anyway . ben : you absolutely can . jordan : how ? ben : jordan , you have to tell rafe the truth . jj : put that away , dude . rory : but i was gon na make a music montage -- `` jj and paige 's greatest hits . `` bev : you know , i knew you two would n't last . jj : you mean you wish , bev . paige and i were n't fighting . we 're just having a debate . rory : right . well , i thought you 'd be out celebrating being done with salem hellhole high , buddy . jj : [ mockingly ] looks like you already started , dude . rory : yeah , man . me and bev -- we were just at a house party down the street . bev : yeah , and we were on our way to another one when we saw you guys through the window . could n't help noticing the spectacle you were making . paige : `` spectacle `` ? rory : hey , why do n't you ditch miss glee club here and come party with us , man ? we 're a lot more fun . jennifer : eve , i know what happened , because i was there , remember ? jack married you so that you could inherit the $ 10 million that nick corelli left you in his will . and he only did it because he needed the money to save the spectator . eve : and because you left him to go back with frankie . do n't leave that part out , jenn . jennifer : eve . eve : [ chuckles ] and when you two finally got back together that time , did n't i graciously let him out of the marriage ? jennifer : yes , you did , eve . eve : yes , i did . jennifer : but -- eve : and when i left for africa with frankie , i had to give up all my worldly possessions , so i did n't even fight to get my money back . [ chuckles ] right ? jennifer : is -- is that what this is about ? you want your money back ? because jack got that as part of the settlement , and , anyway , he invested it , so really ... eve : i know . jennifer : there is no money . eve : i know . it 's gone . jennifer : yeah . eve : i get that . i guess jack never happened to show you our annulment agreement , did he ? jennifer : why would he ? eve : well , i might not have any claim over his newspaper income , but he did agree to , you know , sign over his rights to half of his earnings of long - form projects , including books . and i 'm sure jack `` mr. a.d.d. `` deveraux never thought he would sit down and pound out a memoir , but he did . can you believe it ? and now i am -- i 'm here . i 'm here to collect what is due me . jennifer : what ? eve : yeah . i happen to have a copy of the annulment agreement ... right here . see ? there you go , jenn . would now be a good time to discuss finances ? maggie : hello , john . john : hey , maggie . maggie : i did n't know you were there . john : i - i came to see vic , but henderson said he was out of town . listen , i did n't mean to eavesdrop , but if brady -- if he 's really going to a meeting , this is wonderful . maggie : john ... you know i ca n't tell you anything . john : yeah , i - i understand that , but -- but this is a huge first step . and if it 's true , i can only hope that things are finally turning around for the kid . theresa : are you trying to tell me that ... anne : [ sighs ] theresa : i 'm not good enough for brady ? anne : look , i did n't mean it as an insult . theresa : oh , no ? i 'm sorry . am i supposed to be flattered ? anne : look , you have a little bit of a reputation , theresa . come on . and after everything brady 's been through with his crazy ex , you think he 's gon na run off and marry salem 's next most infamous liar ? theresa : [ scoffs ] damn daniel and jennifer . you know , it 's their fault that everyone in this town thinks ... anne : in this town knows the truth about you ? theresa : [ sighs ] anne : look , i mean , okay , those two -- they ruin everything for everybody , do n't they ? hey , have you thought about cutting your losses ? theresa : my losses ? anne : yeah . yeah , you got a spiffy new purse from brady , you had a whole lot of fun , but it 's not like you 're in love with the guy . theresa : [ scoffs ] well , yeah . no , of course not . anne : right . theresa : [ sniffles ] uh ... brady is a pretty big catch , though . anne : yeah . theresa : and it would be a shame to throw that fish back into the sea before i , you know , squeeze a little more out of him . anne : i can only imagine what that would be . theresa : [ chuckles ] rafe : no . what 's going on with me and jordan has nothing to do with ej and sami . do i think that she 's making the mistake of her life marrying the s.o.b . ? yes . but it 's not because i still have feelings for her . it 's just that ... i do n't want to see her or those kids get hurt . abe : well , i understand . whatever 's going on with you and jordan ... [ laughs ] rafe : what ? abe : you know , i wish you had seen the look on your face when you first saw her in that dress she wore to will and sonny 's wedding . that was ... rafe : oh , well , yeah . abe : that was the look of a man in love . rafe : yeah , well ... abe : i hope it works out for you . rafe : thanks . jordan : i would be putting rafe in such a terrible position if i told him everything . [ scoffs ] if he knew what i did ... ben : you were only trying to protect me . jordan : and myself . ben : what other choice did you have ? jordan : it 's too dangerous , not just for you and me , but for rafe too . ben : jordan , rafe knows you , and he cares about you . and if you do n't tell him the truth , you 're gon na lose him . you love him , jordan . i have never seen you happier than when you 're with him . jordan : i do love him , which is why i can not drag him into my mess .

[ cell phone rings ] kate : but do n't give up . he needs your help . jordan : excuse me , kate . i have to go . kate : uh ...

thomas : i came by to see you . sally : why ? thomas : why do you think ? sally : look , i told you it was over , thomas , okay ? we have to end it . thomas : that does n't make any sense . sally : it will make sense to you soon enough . thomas : what does that even mean ? sally : you will find out soon enough what i 'm all about , okay ? who i am . there 's no sense in keeping this going . it 's just gon na make the inevitable more painful . we do n't have a chance , thomas . thomas : why do you keep saying that ? i -- i love you . does that not mean anything to you ? i genuinely believe that we can do anything we want together . i 've never felt this way about anybody in my entire life . sally : just leave me alone ! thomas : stop , stop , stop . sally : i ca n't do this anymore ! okay , look , it 's been really nice getting to know you , but we 're done ! so , please , just leave me alone ! go ! go . good evening . | at spectra , everyone is backstage setting things up for the fashion show . sally is disrupted in her thoughts about thomas . she needs to go get some air . shirley asks saul what is the matter . he replies that here they are on the brink of success yet sally is so sad . and it will be worse when her little sister figures out how they got the designs . maya gives coco her brooch back and says it suits coco but thanks for the loan of it for the day . sally ends up at the outdoor restaurant where steffy is having coffee and calls her princess . she wants to apologize . she knows she got under her skin at her wedding . steffy says they are even , she pushed her face into the cake earlier . and australia was as much thomas 's fault as hers . and now sally has broken it off with him and he will never know why . sally says she finally came back down to earth . steffy wishes her luck on the show tomorrow . | <s>[INST] saul : sally ! hey ! so , uh , is it what you thought ?

[ door closes ] shirley : ah , ah , ah , ah , ah ! thomas : we may never have had a song , but we had an opera house . sally , i need to understand . i ca n't stop thinking about you . call me . i love you . maya : you know , you 're right . putting this show together has made us all paranoid , and coco seems very nice . nicole : yeah , i know . i 'm -- i 'm not just gon na assume that she 's some evil mastermind . me ? yes . her ? no . coco : your brother must have misunderstood . r.j. : there 's not too many ways to take `` we 're done . `` coco : yeah , but why would sally say that ? she fell for him hard , i happen to know . r.j. : i guess we 're gon na have to trust them to figure that out for themselves . coco : but how ? they do n't even move in the same circles . it 's not like they 're just gon na run into each other . thomas : hi . sally : you need a personal navigation system . you know that , right ? thomas : i do , and all i 'd want it to do is lead me back to wherever you are . coco : it 's so unfair that the name you 're born with can make such a difference . because if sally did break up with your brother , that 's the reason why . it 's because she thinks that a forrester could never trust a spectra . r.j. : well , the spectras have always been a background noise here . sometimes angry . sometimes jokey . always interesting . coco : i want to be interesting . but not by dressing loudly like my sister does or drawing attention to myself . r.j. : well , it 's about a quality that draws people to you , to want to know you . coco : yeah . that . r.j. : well , you must already have it , since here i am , wanting to you know , thinking i 've never met anyone so warm , honest , and good . coco : you 're gon na get me fired . r.j. : i 'm gon na be the boss someday . give me 20 years . i 'll be ready . coco : i bet you will be , too . r.j. : nobody 's gon na mess with you with the future boss around . coco : okay , i doubt my internship 's gon na last 20 years . r.j. : i mean it . i 'm gon na take care of you . coco : i almost believe you will . saul : i 'm a terrible person . shirley : on a scale of zero to terrible , you 're not even a three . you were only thinking of sally ! thomas can afford to give her expensive gifts every single day . she has to get her head in the game , saul . it 's either thomas or success . she ca n't have both . sally : what are you doing here ? thomas : i came by to see you . sally : why ? thomas : why do you think ? sally : look , i told you it was over , thomas , okay ? we have to end it . thomas : that does n't make any sense . sally : it will make sense to you soon enough . thomas : what does that even mean ? sally : you will find out soon enough what i 'm all about , okay ? who i am . there 's no sense in keeping this going . it 's just gon na make the inevitable more painful . we do n't have a chance , thomas . thomas : why do you keep saying that ? i -- i love you . does that not mean anything to you ? i genuinely believe that we can do anything we want together . i 've never felt this way about anybody in my entire life . sally : just leave me alone ! thomas : stop , stop , stop . sally : i ca n't do this anymore ! okay , look , it 's been really nice getting to know you , but we 're done ! so , please , just leave me alone ! go ! go . good evening .Summarize.[/INST]at spectra , everyone is backstage setting things up for the fashion show . sally is disrupted in her thoughts about thomas . she needs to go get some air . shirley asks saul what is the matter . he replies that here they are on the brink of success yet sally is so sad . and it will be worse when her little sister figures out how they got the designs . maya gives coco her brooch back and says it suits coco but thanks for the loan of it for the day . sally ends up at the outdoor restaurant where steffy is having coffee and calls her princess . she wants to apologize . she knows she got under her skin at her wedding . steffy says they are even , she pushed her face into the cake earlier . and australia was as much thomas 's fault as hers . and now sally has broken it off with him and he will never know why . sally says she finally came back down to earth . steffy wishes her luck on the show tomorrow .</s> | 4,013 |

[ sam chuckles ] sam : you know , it 's admirable that you 're trying to take responsibility here , but guess what . we all make bad choices , and i would lay odds that elizabeth has made a few of her own . lucky : not like i have . sam : okay . okay . look , all i 'm saying is i know what it 's like to live down your past , and it would be a lot easier for you to run away from your problems . instead , you are facing them head - on and i 'm pulling for you -- for what it 's worth . [ scene_break ] jason : well , i think i 'd know if i -- if i had a kid -- unless you know something that i do n't . elizabeth : well , i know that you and sam are trying to have a baby , right ? and -- and for all we know , she could be pregnant as we speak . and if she 's not , then it 's only a matter of time . and when that happens , you 're going to be faced with all kinds of choices . and i realize parenting does n't compare , risk - wise , to what you do for sonny -- jason : oh , no , but it does . i mean , i -- i can do my job and my blood pressure does n't even rise , but having a kid -- that -- uh -- whew -- scares me more than anything ever has . i 'm -- i 'm just afraid of the one thing most parents take for granted , and that 's the kid 's safety . elizabeth : i assume you 've talked this over with sam ? jason : yeah , you know , she knows how i -- i feel about it . i do n't keep bashing her over the head with my doubts . you know , they just kind of get in the way of -- elizabeth : so you protect her by keeping her from the truth -- that 's exactly what i did with lucky . but are we really protecting them or are we just making it worse ? that 's the question i 'm constantly agonizing over . jason : you know , this is n't the first time you 've brought up that you 're keeping something from lucky . what -- what is it you 're hiding ?

[ scene_break ] sam : you know that has happened to me more times than i care to admit , but we are all entitled to make mistakes . you just ca n't let them cripple you . so you got to pick yourself up , dust yourself off , and get back to the business of repairing the damage . that 's why when i hear about you and elizabeth , i -- i get the feeling that she 's going to forgive you . lucky : well , forgiveness is n't the issue . it 's the trust that 's been broken . sam : okay , so what do you do ? you got to rebuild it . and stay positive , will you ? i mean , come on , think about it . would she really have agreed to have dinner with you if she was n't considering some sort of reconciliation ? oh -- duty calls . lucky : hey , thanks , for everything . sam : mm - hmm . anytime . i 'm rooting for you .

michelle : no , but yeah . tony : listen , michelle , they knew ... o'neill knew that you tipped me off when the cops came to raid my club . michelle : so ? tony : so i do n't want anything to happen to you . i do n't want you to get in trouble . so i 'm telling you , stay away from the club . and you know what ? the best bet is to stay away from me , period , all right ? michelle : whoa , whoa , whoa , okay ? this here is a no rule zone . you got it ? tony : michelle ... michelle : so no laying them down . tony : i 'm serious . michelle : so am i . so am i . that 's what i love about being here , okay ? nobody can tell me what i can or ca n't do . i do whatever i want . and right now i want you to take your shirt off . this portion of `` guiding light `` is sponsored by pantene pro v. that 's the beauty of health . alan : well , good morning , elizabeth . i 'm glad to see your buoyant mood has n't abated . lizzie : no , and i do n't plan for it to . alan : you 've been in this mood ever since you returned from the dance . any particular reason why ? lizzie : no . no reason . alan : yeah . well , let 's keep it that way . i do n't want it to ever interfere with your work , you know . lizzie : no . i could n't be more focused on my project . alan : ah . that 's it . keep it that way . now , look . i want everybody to make themselves at home , but i 've got a few phone calls to make before we start the meeting . kyra : good morning , mr . spaulding . alan : we 'll see . shayne : great . what 's up with him ? lizzie : i do n't know . he would n't tell me either . kyra : well , it ca n't have anything to do with the pitches , because that 's not until next week . remy : what 's not until next week ? shayne : hey , guys . our new project pitches . lizzie : thank god . tammy : yeah , it must be hard concentrating on work after that horrible experience you had after the dance . lizzie : yeah , it is . remy : did they ever find the guys who were hassling you ? lizzie : no . tammy : from looking at you you 'd never know that anything had happened at all . lizzie : that 's because i 've had support from all my friends , especially joey . he 's been a doll . what am i telling you that for ? you know what a great guy he is . tammy : yeah , i do . shayne : miss spaulding , do you think we could ask your cook to make us some coffee ? lizzie : yeah . what would you like , latte , cappuccino , cafe mocha , what ? shayne : no , just regular coffee 's fine . lizzie : yeah . coming right up . shayne : all right . lizzie : excuse me . tammy : oh , i can not believe what lizzie gets away with . remy : you still think she made up that whole story about those guys attacking her ? kyra : do you really think she 'd lie about something like that ? tammy : to get joey 's attention ? yeah . she got him to take her home after the dance . but before he did , we talked , and he was so sweet . shayne : hey , joe . tammy : hi . i was just ... bill : well , it 's got to be fun being you , phillip , huh ? phillip : sometimes . bill : yeah , i 'm sure . it 's like you 're the king of the sandbox , right ? the kid who just does n't want to share any of his toys . not that you have any interest in them . maybe just want to prove that you can do it . phillip : those are deep thoughts , bill . olivia , i believe your young friend just referred to you as a toy . olivia : just save it , phillip . you 're embarrassing both of us . phillip : am i ? i 'm sorry . bill : well , this has been fun . i 'm sure you lovebirds need a little alone time , so i 'm going to take off . olivia : mission accomplished . you can leave now . phillip : not yet . come here . slap me . olivia : what ? phillip : do it , and make it look good . olivia : that 'll be hard . bill : ouch . remind me never to get married . olivia : get a life phillip , preferably one that does n't include stalking me . phillip : well , if i 'm following you , i must have a reason . olivia : there 's nothing going on between bill and me . phillip : so you 're not the one giving it to him ? olivia : no more than i 'm giving it to you . phillip : information , olivia . company secrets . someone is leaking them to lewis construction . olivia : i 'm not giving bill anything . phillip : okay , bill . bill : hmm ? phillip : look , you 're not getting it from my wife . where are you getting your inside information ? bill : sorry . who says i am ? phillip : well , how else could you have stolen that waterfront property right out from under our nose ? bill : maybe i 'm a better businessman . phillip : or maybe my wife gave you something that was n't hers to give . bill : the property 's mine , phillip , just like the mall that tony and i are going to build . it 's mine . so it looks like lewis two , spaulding , zip . have a good day . phillip : and it 's only round one . ho can i lose with you on my side ? olivia : if we 're done , i 'm leaving . phillip : yeah , you can go . we 're done for now . tony : michelle , michelle , what are you doing ? michelle : i want to look at your tattoos . tony : why ? michelle : let me see your tattoos . tony : no . why ? i do n't understand . michelle : are you going to let me see them ? tony : no . i 'm sorry , i 'm not . no . michelle : what 's the point of getting a tattoo if you 're not going to let anyone see them ? come on . tony : michelle , please , come on . this is not ... okay , okay , okay . i 'll do it . all right . there . you happy ? michelle : wow . so why 'd you do it ? i mean , why 'd you get the tattoos ? tony : because i was tired of doing what everybody else thought i should do . i wanted to do something that made me happy . something i wanted to do , all right ? that 's why . michelle : did it hurt ? tony : a little , yeah , it did . michelle : you got any more ? tony : i guess , a couple . maybe more to go . michelle : wow . you got a lot of them , huh ? tony : like i said , i guess . maybe some more to come . michelle : so tell me about this one . tony : this is an ancient cross that i designed with the years that my father lived . yeah . and this means father . michelle : do you miss your dad ? tony : honestly , i was young . i do n't remember much . michelle : and how about this one ? tony : strength , health , and bravery . michelle : bravery and strength . so macho . tony : so i 'm assuming you 're going to want to know what these two mean down there , right ? michelle : mm - hmm . tony : okay . tranquillity or peace , okay ? this is a band that was designed . love , eternity , and unity connected by a diamond on the back -- strongest stone . i guess the yin and yang are pretty much equally represented , do n't you think ? michelle : and this one ? tony : my life depends on you . michelle : who ? tony : who what ? michelle : who does your life depend on ? tony : me . michelle , i 'm the only one that decides how i 'm going to live my life . michelle : that 's what i want . tony : yeah ? michelle : mm - hmm . mm - hmm . and that 's the reason i come here , and why i love this place , and why i could buy this chair . it does n't fit anywhere else in my life , but it fits perfect here , because i chose it . not for the other michelle , not to please danny , not to please anybody else but me . tony : well , you know , michelle , you 've got to do what makes you happy . michelle : yeah , well , i ca n't do that out there , because , you know , everybody 's watching . tony : this is your place . come here . michelle : i just ... i do n't want danny to know . it 's not like i 'm shutting him out or anything . it just makes it ... it 's just ... it 's easier . tony : i wo n't tell him . michelle : thanks . father ray : you should n't be here , danny . danny : why not ? you 're here . tony practically lives here . apparently my wife likes to come here now . father ray : michelle ? danny : yeah , but she wo n't tell me that . i had to find out from my good friend jeffrey o'neill . father ray : are you made because she was here or because she did n't tell you ? danny : i do n't know . i 'm going crazy , ray , having her but not having her . i look for the old michelle , but she 's nowhere to be found . i try to reach out to the new one , but she just slips between my fingers . father ray : maybe you 're trying too hard . back off a little bit . danny : i can't . father ray : you said yourself what you 're doing is n't working .. danny : i have to get her back . i have to . father ray : danny ... danny : what ? father ray : i know you feel responsible for what happened , but ... danny : ray , ray , i am responsible . father ray : it was an accident . the police said ... danny : the police do n't know anything . i blew up that building , ray . father ray : you ? danny : it was all part of a plan set up by o'neill and the feds . so michelle does n't remember me or our life together . and what makes it worse is that i do n't think she wants to remember . alan : anything interesting ? lizzie : grandpa , come here . do n't sneak up on me like that . alan : that was n't my intention , elizabeth . i just saw you preoccupied there , and ... what , are they planning on overthrowing the company or something ? lizzie : no , they 're talking about getting their coffee . alan : of course . what was i thinking ? what were you doing in here ? lizzie : i was just checking the temperature in the room . alan : really ? well , i 'm glad to hear that someone in this family listens to what i have to say . lizzie : i always do , and it always pays off . alan : well , good . lizzie : so are you ready to go in there yet ? alan : in a few minutes . i have one other call to make . lizzie : it 's all right . just take your time . there 's no rush . i just hope that we 're not taking too much of your time with this project . alan : no . as a matter of fact , i ... the big reason i 'm doing this is because of you , and i hope that you 're getting something out of this . lizzie : i 'm getting more out of this than you ever will understand . alan : good . joey : do you have any idea why mr . spaulding called the meeting ? shayne : maybe he 's going to switch up teams again . and maybe this time you 'll get paired with tammy . joey : no way , man . if we do i am out of here . the scholarship would n't be worth it . shayne : that 's a little harsh . joey : harsh ? you should hear the stuff she 's saying about me . shayne : well , it looked like you guys were all good yesterday . i mean , you were dancing . joey : yeah , well , that 's what i thought , and then i heard she 's talking trash behind my back . shayne : yeah , she 's talking trash . and who told you that ? lizzie , right ? joey : no . i heard it from myself . shayne : listen , joey , you know what you need to do ? you need to talk to her and just straighten this out , okay ? joey : why , shayne ? so she can lie behind my back again and just get away with it ? there 's no way . tammy and i are done , dude . tammy : hey . can we talk for a second . joey : i have nothing to say . tammy : i do . joey : okay , well , good . talk to someone who cares . tammy : i thought you did . joey : yeah . i guess we all make mistakes when it comes to reading people , huh ? lizzie : tammy , are you okay ? tammy : i 'm fine . lizzie : good , because there 's something i need to tell you . it 's about joey . i know you two were talking . tammy : lizzie , if you have something to say , just say it . lizzie : you 're right . i should be mature about it . all right . joey kissed me last night . josh : hello , bill . bill : let me call you back , all right ? josh : wanda told me i would find you here . bill : well , she never could keep a secret . what 's going on ? there a problem ? josh : there was a problem , but i fixed it . bill : what do you mean ? that 's my job . josh : normally it would be , yes , but then i heard about this partnership you have going on with tony , so i figured i 'd better get involved . bill : so what , you talked with tony ? josh : yeah . well , i talked . he threatened . bill : really ? josh : mm - hmm . bill : oh . josh : see , i know tony . i know all about him , and i thought i had an understanding worked out with him , but evidently i was mistaken . bill : well , wait a minute now , uncle josh . maybe you just misunderstood . josh : no , he was very clear about what he was saying . bill : i mean , i do n't understand . what did you say that got him so riled up ? josh : i told him there was no chance whatsoever that you were going to go into business with him . olivia : michelle ? michelle : yeah ? olivia : wow , you really do n't remember . what a kick . michelle : let me guess . we worked together at the hospital . or we were college roommates , best friends . olivia : no . no , no , no , no . i 'm olivia spencer spaulding . i do n't have friends . michelle : ah , then we 've got something in common . neither do i . olivia : oh . well , you lost your memory , but gained a sense of humor . i 'd take that trade . michelle : i like you , olivia spaulding . olivia : mm - hmm . well , you 'd be one of the few . most people in this town considev me to be a manipulative , back - stabbing , husband - stealing witch . michelle : that 's an honest answer . i think we both just found a new friend . father ray : man , you 've just got to give her some time . danny : how much time , ray ? a month , a year ? ten years ? what if she never remembers me , or robbie , or our life ? father ray : then you build a new life . danny : how ? how am i going to do that ? father ray : do you love her ? danny : how do i do that ? father ray : do you really love her as she is now ? danny : of course i do . i love michelle no matter what . you know that . father ray : and you accept her just as she is , no matter what ? danny : yeah . yeah . father ray : then do n't let anything stand in your way . danny : you 're right . i know , you 're right . you 're right . i ca n't let anything get between us . i can't . father ray : hey , br . tony : ray , how you doing ? what is this , a family reunion ? did n't get the invitation . danny : why did n't you tell m e that michelle has been coming here ? tony : well , you know what ? it 's not my job , danny , to keep tabs on michelle . i did n't get that memo either . danny : well , i do n't want her coming around here anymore , you understand ? tony : so tell her , not me . danny : i 'm telling you , tony . tony : danny , i did n't invite her here , all right ? danny : what , you 're telling me that she just showed up on her own ? tony : yeah , that 's how it happened . you know what ? why do n't you ask yourself one thing , danny . danny : what 's that ? tony : why did she leave you and come looking for me ? coming up on `` guiding light `` ... tammy : you did n't make out with joey last night . but you did do something to make him hate me . i want to know what it was . i think about you , too , all the time . jacksonand i 'm david lamb ñ ñ & tammy : joey kissed you ? lizzie : tammy , i knew it would hurt you , but i thought you had the right to know . alan : ladies , ladies , it 's time to get started . come on . please , please be seated . glad to see that you all made it on time . now , for your final two challenges , it will be every man for himself . lizzie : no more teams ? alan : no , elizabeth , no more teams . you will each be given $ 100 to start your own business . now , you can combine your efforts with one of your teammates if you choose , but remember , that could be very risky . now , at the end of one week , the person who has the greatest return on his investment will be the winner of the first challenge . kyra : what 's the second challenge ? alan : one step at a time . i will tell you what the second challenge is when i 'm ready to . now , go out and make money . tammy : we need to talk in private . lizzie : fine . okay , what is it ? tammy : you did n't make out with joey last night , but you did do something to make him hate me . i want to know what it was . bill : all right , wait a minute , now , uncle josh . come on , we had a deal . josh : yes , we did . you make the decisions , but you clear them with your dad and me first . bill : yeah , but you knew i was working with tony . josh : i did , but not to what extent . bill : now you do . what 's the problem ? josh : the problem is the way tony does business . bill : uncle josh , you have a problem with turning a big profit ? josh : bill , are you ever in there somewhere ? because i do n't see you right now . bill : yes , i am right here , and i 'm bringing in more money for lewis construction that i ever thought possible . josh : yeah , i understand . i get that . what you 've been doing the last few months has been terrific . but there 's a limit . bill : no , see , that 's where you 're wrong , josh . there are no limits . there are only possibilities . and if you 're going to realize them , then you 've got to think big . josh : all right . i 'm all up for possibilities . i like the idea of expanding our horizons . that 's exactly why i 'm bringing danny santos in on a project that we 're doing . bill : no , i 'm not going to work with him . josh : yes , you will . bill : no , i 'm not . josh : if he accepts my deal , you will work with him . michelle : okay , okay . wait a minute . so wait . you 're married to phillip now . before that you were married to his dad . and then before that it was josh lewis , and somewhere in there you were engaged to a prince . were you ever with danny ? olivia : no . michelle : just checking . olivia : no . no , it 's okay . sometimes i need a scorecard to keep up with my men . michelle : yeah , i can kind of see why you got the husband- stealer comment . but what about the rest ? how 'd you earn those titles ? olivia : i guess i 've used a few people to get what i 've wanted . michelle : so you 're ambitious . olivia : you have to be to get what you want in life . michelle : is that what you do ? you go after what you want ? olivia : it 's the only way to guarantee that i 'm going to get it . so you still want to be friends ? michelle : i could learn a lot from you . danny : tony , this is not some kind of childhood competition . nobody 's keeping score here . this is about protecting michelle . tony : protecting michelle , right ? danny : i am willing to do that . tony : you know what 's funny , danny ? you do n't know michelle . and that scares you to death , and you know that . danny : tony , you do n't know what you 're talking about . tony : i do n't , no ? danny : no , you don't . tony : no , really ? where is she , danny ? where is your wife , danny ? father ray : back off ! what are you doing ? come on . danny : just stay away from michelle , tony . stay away from her . tony : he 's crazy . lizzie : what do you think i did , cast a spell on joey , or what ? tammy : i would n't put it past you . lizzie : look , tammy , i know this hurts you , but i hope we can still be friends after this . tammy : friends do n't steal each other 's boyfriends . lizzie : i did n't steal joey . tammy : please . you 've been trying to break us up for months , and now you finally succeeded when you decided to tell joey that i kissed edmund . lizzie : what ? i thought he knew . tammy : you 're a liar . oh , i ca n't believe i wasted one second trying to be friends with you . lizzie : you know what , tammy ? if you were capable of being a real friend , you 'd see that joey and i had a chance at something real . you of all people should know what that means to me . tammy : so because you 've had this tough life , i should just hand joey over to you ? lizzie : well , you know what ? you could bow out graciously , could n't you ? tammy : you 're right , you 're right . how selfish of me to try and stand between you and my boyfriend . lizzie : he is n't your boyfriend . tammy : oh , and you think he 's yours ? lizzie : oh , he will be . alan : well , olivia ... olivia : alan , what are you doing here ? alan : it 's a public park . olivia : i know . i was just surprised . look , do n't leave on my account , all right ? i was about to give up my bench anyway . have a seat . alan : well , thank you . i just came from a meeting with the young people . you know , the intern project we started at spauding . olivia : yes , spaulding enterprises , shaping the next generation of young minds . alan : mm - hmm . well , i regret to say i do n't think there 's a future executive among them . olivia : well , whatever . they 'll survive , you know ? they have their whole lives ahead of them to see what they want to be , who they are , and if they do n't like their first choice , then they 'll find something else . you know , they 're lucky . alan : you say that as if you no longer have any choices in your life . olivia : well , i am a parent , and as wonderful as it is , it changes things . i was just sitting there thinking of a fresh start , you know ? i ran into michelle bauer ... met her , the new michelle bauer , post - accident , and she did n't remember me . it 's weird . she actually like me better than the old michelle did . i was just thinking about what it must be like to start over , that 's all . alan : well , people do it all the time . olivia : yeah , but not in the same way , you know ? michelle does n't lie in bed at night thinking about her mistakes , and having all those memories . alan : well , who would we be without memories and mistakes , olivia ? after all , they 're what shape us to who we really are . olivia : see , that 's funny coming from you , because you have a rather selective memory , and you never admit to making a mistake . alan : i think michelle is going to be just fine . danny 's a very devoted husband . olivia : well , maybe one day i 'll find one of those , and my troubles will all disappear . alan : phillip 's very devoted to the people he loves . olivia : well , right now he 's devoted to making my life miserable . he was one of the first minds that you shaped , was n't he ? my goodness , you must be very proud . danny : michelle , would you call me , please ? i just want to know you 're okay . can i get a beer , please ? thank you . phillip : danny ! how 's springfield 's big hero ? danny : he 's not in the mood . phillip : oh , okay . no hero talk , then . danny : nope . phillip : how 's business ? got any new development plans down on fifth street ? danny : actually , i 've got a couple other things going on in the works . phillip : really ? danny : yeah . phillip : i thought that was your number - one priority . danny : no , michelle is my number - one priority . phillip : of course . that 's completely understandable . how 's she doing ? danny : she 's fine . phillip : yeah ? has she gotten any of her memory back ? danny : no , not yet , but she will , in time . phillip : sounds like it could be a long haul . danny : is there a point , phillip ? phillip : well , no , just that i think that you 're to be commended . i think a lot of guys in your shoes would already be thinking about packing it in by now . danny : men like you , i guess . phillip : ouch . well , i guess , you know , it is true i 've become a bit more pragmatic about these things . i 'm no longer a big believer in fate and destiny , soul mates . danny : explains all the marriages . phillip : yeah , i guess it would . it either works or it does n't , but it pays to be prepared for either outcome . danny : phillip , i 'm sorry , i do n't think you 're the person to be giving me relationship advice . phillip : well , danny , on the contrary , if there 's one thing i do know about , it 's relationships . michelle : danny , hey . danny : michelle . michelle : hey , guess what ? met a new friend today . danny : really ? michelle : yeah . yeah . olivia . she 's your wife , right ? phillip : yes , olivia is my wife . michelle : yeah , she 's something , huh ? phillip : she is something . danny : michelle , i ran into reva and robbie at the beacon . michelle : oh , you 're okay with her watching robbie , right ? i just needed a little space . danny : yeah , it 's fine . i ... they were both having a great time . michelle : good . you know what ? then i 'm going to go ... i 'll go pick them up . i 'll meet you at home , all right ? danny : well , hold up . i 'm done here , so i 'll walk out with you , okay ? take care , phillip . phillip : you too , danny . good to see you . good to see you , michelle . michelle : you , too . and tell olivia i had fun talking to her . phillip : i 'll tell her . josh : that 's for you . bill : what is this ? josh : it 's an offer on the lakefront property we 're selling . we 're going to focus all our energies on this new project with danny santos . bill : no , we are not . josh : yes , we are . we 're selling that property whether you like it or not . bill : well , you ca n't , because it 's in my name . here you go . josh : you were planning on going through with this deal no matter what your dad and i said , were n't you ? you know , i could fire you right now . i should . bill : yeah ? josh : yeah . bill : well , you know what ? let me save you the trouble , because i quit . josh : really ? bill : yeah , yeah , yeah . and this time for real . josh : again ? bill : no , really , i 'm sick of it . you and my dad , all you do is question every move i make . you do n't trust me anymore . it 's not worth it , uncle josh . it 's not worth it . josh : you 're making a mistake . bill : we 'll see . olivia : wow . i have to tell you , that was impressive . bill : what do you want , olivia ? olivia : to congratulate you . that was the best move you ever made . bill : no , this is . olivia : good , you 're still here . did you have a nice lunch ? phillip : why , did you poison it ? olivia : no , of course not . phillip : well , why the good mood ? olivia : i have good news . phillip : okay , tell me . olivia : bill has quit lewis construction effective immediately . phillip : hmm . and you think that that means that you no longer have a job spying on him for me . olivia : well , how could he be stealing secrets for lewis if he is n't working there ? phillip : bill is of interest to me until i say he is no longer of interest to me . i 'd say i 'm sorry i ruined your day , but of course , i 'm not . joey : so what did tammy want ? lizzie : nothing . just girl stuff , you know ? joey : i thought maybe she would want to talk about me . lizzie : it must have been really hard seeing her , you know , after knowing what all she said about you . joey : ah , it was no biggie . lizzie : look , joey , it 's not true , okay , what tammy said about you being a loser . i think you 're great . you 're really special , you know that ? and when you kissed me last night , it was amazing . joey : lizzie , this you and me thing , it 's not good . lizzie : i think it is . joey : look , my head 's really messed up right now , and all i really need is a friend . you cool with that ? lizzie : a friend , yeah . sure . joey : all right . well , i 'm going to get going . oh , my friend j.t . wants to borrow that cd i lent you . do you think you could give it back ? lizzie : yeah , yeah . it 's upstairs in my room . i 'll go get it . joey : thanks . find it ? tam ... tammy : i forgot my bag . joey : here . tammy : thank you . i need to ask you something . i want you to be honest . last night after you said that you missed me and you wanted us to get back together , did you come back here and kiss lizzie ? joey : yeah , i did . tammy : so you did n't mean any of those things that you said ? joey : do you always say what you mean , tammy ? tammy : yeah , including this . i never want to see you again . danny : you 're sure ? okay . how much overdrawn am i ? all right . okay . well , i 'll transfer some money from another account , and it 'll be there first thing in the morning . yeah . no , it 's not a problem at all . i apologize for the oversight . mm - hmm . all right . thanks . michelle : everything okay ?

lizzie : no . tammy : from looking at you you 'd never know that anything had happened at all . lizzie : that 's because i 've had support from all my friends , especially joey . he 's been a doll . what am i telling you that for ?

i 'm sorry . bill : well , this has been fun . i 'm sure you lovebirds need a little alone time , so i 'm going to take off . olivia : mission accomplished . you can leave now . phillip : not yet . come here . slap me . olivia : what ? phillip : do it , and make it look good . olivia : that 'll be hard . bill : ouch . remind me never to get married . olivia : get a life phillip , preferably one that does n't include stalking me . phillip : well , if i 'm following you , i must have a reason . olivia : there 's nothing going on between bill and me . phillip : so you 're not the one giving it to him ? olivia : no more than i 'm giving it to you . phillip : information , olivia . company secrets . someone is leaking them to lewis construction . olivia : i 'm not giving bill anything . phillip : okay , bill . bill : hmm ? phillip : look , you 're not getting it from my wife . where are you getting your inside information ? bill : sorry . who says i am ? phillip : well , how else could you have stolen that waterfront property right out from under our nose ? bill : maybe i 'm a better businessman . phillip : or maybe my wife gave you something that was n't hers to give . bill : the property 's mine , phillip , just like the mall that tony and i are going to build . it 's mine . so it looks like lewis two , spaulding , zip . have a good day . phillip : and it 's only round one . ho can i lose with you on my side ?

michelle : let me see your tattoos . tony : no . why ? i do n't understand . michelle : are you going to let me see them ? tony : no . i 'm sorry , i 'm not . no . michelle : what 's the point of getting a tattoo if you 're not going to let anyone see them ? come on . tony : michelle , please , come on . this is not ... okay , okay , okay . i 'll do it . all right . there . you happy ? michelle : wow . so why 'd you do it ? i mean , why 'd you get the tattoos ? tony : because i was tired of doing what everybody else thought i should do . i wanted to do something that made me happy . something i wanted to do , all right ? that 's why . michelle : did it hurt ? tony : a little , yeah , it did . michelle : you got any more ? tony : i guess , a couple . maybe more to go . michelle : wow . you got a lot of them , huh ? tony : like i said , i guess . maybe some more to come . michelle : so tell me about this one . tony : this is an ancient cross that i designed with the years that my father lived . yeah . and this means father . michelle : do you miss your dad ? tony : honestly , i was young . i do n't remember much . michelle : and how about this one ? tony : strength , health , and bravery . michelle : bravery and strength . so macho . tony : so i 'm assuming you 're going to want to know what these two mean down there , right ? michelle : mm - hmm . tony : okay . tranquillity or peace , okay ? this is a band that was designed . love , eternity , and unity connected by a diamond on the back -- strongest stone . i guess the yin and yang are pretty much equally represented , do n't you think ? michelle : and this one ? tony : my life depends on you . michelle : who ? tony : who what ? michelle : who does your life depend on ? tony : me . michelle , i 'm the only one that decides how i 'm going to live my life . michelle : that 's what i want . tony : yeah ? michelle : mm - hmm . mm - hmm . and that 's the reason i come here , and why i love this place , and why i could buy this chair . it does n't fit anywhere else in my life , but it fits perfect here , because i chose it . not for the other michelle , not to please danny , not to please anybody else but me . tony : well , you know , michelle , you 've got to do what makes you happy . michelle : yeah , well , i ca n't do that out there , because , you know , everybody 's watching . tony : this is your place . come here . michelle : i just ... i do n't want danny to know . it 's not like i 'm shutting him out or anything . it just makes it ... it 's just ... it 's easier . tony : i wo n't tell him . michelle : thanks . father ray : you should n't be here , danny . danny : why not ? you 're here . tony practically lives here . apparently my wife likes to come here now . father ray : michelle ? danny : yeah , but she wo n't tell me that . i had to find out from my good friend jeffrey o'neill . father ray : are you made because she was here or because she did n't tell you ? danny : i do n't know . i 'm going crazy , ray , having her but not having her . i look for the old michelle , but she 's nowhere to be found . i try to reach out to the new one , but she just slips between my fingers . father ray : maybe you 're trying too hard . back off a little bit . danny : i can't . father ray : you said yourself what you 're doing is n't working .. danny : i have to get her back . i have to . father ray : danny ... danny : what ? father ray : i know you feel responsible for what happened , but ... danny : ray , ray , i am responsible . father ray : it was an accident . the police said ... danny : the police do n't know anything . i blew up that building , ray . father ray : you ? danny : it was all part of a plan set up by o'neill and the feds . so michelle does n't remember me or our life together . and what makes it worse is that i do n't think she wants to remember . alan : anything interesting ? lizzie : grandpa , come here . do n't sneak up on me like that . alan : that was n't my intention , elizabeth . i just saw you preoccupied there , and ... what , are they planning on overthrowing the company or something ? lizzie : no , they 're talking about getting their coffee . alan : of course . what was i thinking ? what were you doing in here ? lizzie : i was just checking the temperature in the room . alan : really ? well , i 'm glad to hear that someone in this family listens to what i have to say . lizzie : i always do , and it always pays off . alan : well , good . lizzie : so are you ready to go in there yet ? alan : in a few minutes . i have one other call to make . lizzie : it 's all right . just take your time . there 's no rush . i just hope that we 're not taking too much of your time with this project . alan : no . as a matter of fact , i ... the big reason i 'm doing this is because of you , and i hope that you 're getting something out of this . lizzie : i 'm getting more out of this than you ever will understand . alan : good . joey : do you have any idea why mr . spaulding called the meeting ? shayne : maybe he 's going to switch up teams again . and maybe this time you 'll get paired with tammy . joey : no way , man . if we do i am out of here . the scholarship would n't be worth it . shayne : that 's a little harsh . joey : harsh ? you should hear the stuff she 's saying about me . shayne : well , it looked like you guys were all good yesterday . i mean , you were dancing . joey : yeah , well , that 's what i thought , and then i heard she 's talking trash behind my back . shayne : yeah , she 's talking trash . and who told you that ? lizzie , right ? joey : no . i heard it from myself . shayne : listen , joey , you know what you need to do ? you need to talk to her and just straighten this out , okay ? joey : why , shayne ? so she can lie behind my back again and just get away with it ? there 's no way . tammy and i are done , dude . tammy : hey . can we talk for a second . joey : i have nothing to say . tammy : i do . joey : okay , well , good . talk to someone who cares . tammy : i thought you did . joey : yeah . i guess we all make mistakes when it comes to reading people , huh ? lizzie : tammy , are you okay ? tammy : i 'm fine . lizzie : good , because there 's something i need to tell you . it 's about joey . i know you two were talking . tammy : lizzie , if you have something to say , just say it . lizzie : you 're right . i should be mature about it . all right . joey kissed me last night . josh : hello , bill . bill : let me call you back , all right ? josh : wanda told me i would find you here . bill : well , she never could keep a secret . what 's going on ? there a problem ? josh : there was a problem , but i fixed it . bill : what do you mean ? that 's my job . josh : normally it would be , yes , but then i heard about this partnership you have going on with tony , so i figured i 'd better get involved . bill : so what , you talked with tony ? josh : yeah . well , i talked . he threatened . bill : really ? josh : mm - hmm . bill : oh . josh : see , i know tony . i know all about him , and i thought i had an understanding worked out with him , but evidently i was mistaken . bill : well , wait a minute now , uncle josh . maybe you just misunderstood . josh : no , he was very clear about what he was saying . bill : i mean , i do n't understand . what did you say that got him so riled up ? josh : i told him there was no chance whatsoever that you were going to go into business with him . olivia : michelle ? michelle : yeah ? olivia : wow , you really do n't remember . what a kick . michelle : let me guess . we worked together at the hospital . or we were college roommates , best friends . olivia : no . no , no , no , no . i 'm olivia spencer spaulding . i do n't have friends . michelle : ah , then we 've got something in common . neither do i . olivia : oh . well , you lost your memory , but gained a sense of humor . i 'd take that trade . michelle : i like you , olivia spaulding . olivia : mm - hmm . well , you 'd be one of the few . most people in this town considev me to be a manipulative , back - stabbing , husband - stealing witch . michelle : that 's an honest answer . i think we both just found a new friend . father ray : man , you 've just got to give her some time . danny : how much time , ray ? a month , a year ? ten years ? what if she never remembers me , or robbie , or our life ? father ray : then you build a new life . danny : how ? how am i going to do that ? father ray : do you love her ? danny : how do i do that ? father ray : do you really love her as she is now ? danny : of course i do . i love michelle no matter what . you know that . father ray : and you accept her just as she is , no matter what ? danny : yeah . yeah . father ray : then do n't let anything stand in your way . danny : you 're right . i know , you 're right . you 're right . i ca n't let anything get between us . i can't . father ray : hey , br . tony : ray , how you doing ? what is this , a family reunion ? did n't get the invitation . danny : why did n't you tell m e that michelle has been coming here ? tony : well , you know what ? it 's not my job , danny , to keep tabs on michelle . i did n't get that memo either . danny : well , i do n't want her coming around here anymore , you understand ? tony : so tell her , not me . danny : i 'm telling you , tony . tony : danny , i did n't invite her here , all right ? danny : what , you 're telling me that she just showed up on her own ? tony : yeah , that 's how it happened . you know what ? why do n't you ask yourself one thing , danny . danny : what 's that ? tony : why did she leave you and come looking for me ? coming up on `` guiding light `` ... tammy : you did n't make out with joey last night . but you did do something to make him hate me . i want to know what it was . i think about you , too , all the time . jacksonand i 'm david lamb ñ ñ & tammy : joey kissed you ? lizzie : tammy , i knew it would hurt you , but i thought you had the right to know . alan : ladies , ladies , it 's time to get started . come on . please , please be seated . glad to see that you all made it on time . now , for your final two challenges , it will be every man for himself . lizzie : no more teams ? alan : no , elizabeth , no more teams . you will each be given $ 100 to start your own business . now , you can combine your efforts with one of your teammates if you choose , but remember , that could be very risky . now , at the end of one week , the person who has the greatest return on his investment will be the winner of the first challenge . kyra : what 's the second challenge ? alan : one step at a time . i will tell you what the second challenge is when i 'm ready to . now , go out and make money . tammy : we need to talk in private . lizzie : fine . okay , what is it ? tammy : you did n't make out with joey last night , but you did do something to make him hate me . i want to know what it was . bill : all right , wait a minute , now , uncle josh . come on , we had a deal . josh : yes , we did . you make the decisions , but you clear them with your dad and me first . bill : yeah , but you knew i was working with tony . josh : i did , but not to what extent . bill : now you do . what 's the problem ? josh : the problem is the way tony does business . bill : uncle josh , you have a problem with turning a big profit ? josh : bill , are you ever in there somewhere ? because i do n't see you right now . bill : yes , i am right here , and i 'm bringing in more money for lewis construction that i ever thought possible . josh : yeah , i understand . i get that . what you 've been doing the last few months has been terrific . but there 's a limit . bill : no , see , that 's where you 're wrong , josh . there are no limits . there are only possibilities . and if you 're going to realize them , then you 've got to think big . josh : all right . i 'm all up for possibilities . i like the idea of expanding our horizons . that 's exactly why i 'm bringing danny santos in on a project that we 're doing . bill : no , i 'm not going to work with him . josh : yes , you will . bill : no , i 'm not . josh : if he accepts my deal , you will work with him . michelle : okay , okay . wait a minute . so wait . you 're married to phillip now . before that you were married to his dad . and then before that it was josh lewis , and somewhere in there you were engaged to a prince . were you ever with danny ? olivia : no . michelle : just checking . olivia : no . no , it 's okay . sometimes i need a scorecard to keep up with my men . michelle : yeah , i can kind of see why you got the husband- stealer comment . but what about the rest ? how 'd you earn those titles ? olivia : i guess i 've used a few people to get what i 've wanted . michelle : so you 're ambitious . olivia : you have to be to get what you want in life . michelle : is that what you do ? you go after what you want ? olivia : it 's the only way to guarantee that i 'm going to get it . so you still want to be friends ? michelle : i could learn a lot from you . danny : tony , this is not some kind of childhood competition . nobody 's keeping score here . this is about protecting michelle . tony : protecting michelle , right ? danny : i am willing to do that . tony : you know what 's funny , danny ? you do n't know michelle . and that scares you to death , and you know that . danny : tony , you do n't know what you 're talking about . tony : i do n't , no ? danny : no , you don't . tony : no , really ? where is she , danny ? where is your wife , danny ? father ray : back off ! what are you doing ? come on . danny : just stay away from michelle , tony . stay away from her . tony : he 's crazy . lizzie : what do you think i did , cast a spell on joey , or what ? tammy : i would n't put it past you . lizzie : look , tammy , i know this hurts you , but i hope we can still be friends after this . tammy : friends do n't steal each other 's boyfriends . lizzie : i did n't steal joey . tammy : please . you 've been trying to break us up for months , and now you finally succeeded when you decided to tell joey that i kissed edmund . lizzie : what ? i thought he knew . tammy : you 're a liar . oh , i ca n't believe i wasted one second trying to be friends with you . lizzie : you know what , tammy ? if you were capable of being a real friend , you 'd see that joey and i had a chance at something real . you of all people should know what that means to me . tammy : so because you 've had this tough life , i should just hand joey over to you ? lizzie : well , you know what ? you could bow out graciously , could n't you ? tammy : you 're right , you 're right . how selfish of me to try and stand between you and my boyfriend . lizzie : he is n't your boyfriend . tammy : oh , and you think he 's yours ? lizzie : oh , he will be . alan : well , olivia ... olivia : alan , what are you doing here ? alan : it 's a public park . olivia : i know . i was just surprised . look , do n't leave on my account , all right ? i was about to give up my bench anyway . have a seat . alan : well , thank you . i just came from a meeting with the young people . you know , the intern project we started at spauding . olivia : yes , spaulding enterprises , shaping the next generation of young minds . alan : mm - hmm . well , i regret to say i do n't think there 's a future executive among them . olivia : well , whatever . they 'll survive , you know ? they have their whole lives ahead of them to see what they want to be , who they are , and if they do n't like their first choice , then they 'll find something else . you know , they 're lucky . alan : you say that as if you no longer have any choices in your life . olivia : well , i am a parent , and as wonderful as it is , it changes things . i was just sitting there thinking of a fresh start , you know ? i ran into michelle bauer ... met her , the new michelle bauer , post - accident , and she did n't remember me . it 's weird . she actually like me better than the old michelle did . i was just thinking about what it must be like to start over , that 's all . alan : well , people do it all the time . olivia : yeah , but not in the same way , you know ? michelle does n't lie in bed at night thinking about her mistakes , and having all those memories . alan : well , who would we be without memories and mistakes , olivia ? after all , they 're what shape us to who we really are . olivia : see , that 's funny coming from you , because you have a rather selective memory , and you never admit to making a mistake . alan : i think michelle is going to be just fine . danny 's a very devoted husband . olivia : well , maybe one day i 'll find one of those , and my troubles will all disappear . alan : phillip 's very devoted to the people he loves . olivia : well , right now he 's devoted to making my life miserable . he was one of the first minds that you shaped , was n't he ? my goodness , you must be very proud . danny : michelle , would you call me , please ? i just want to know you 're okay . can i get a beer , please ? thank you . phillip : danny ! how 's springfield 's big hero ? danny : he 's not in the mood . phillip : oh , okay . no hero talk , then . danny : nope . phillip : how 's business ? got any new development plans down on fifth street ? danny : actually , i 've got a couple other things going on in the works . phillip : really ? danny : yeah . phillip : i thought that was your number - one priority . danny : no , michelle is my number - one priority . phillip : of course . that 's completely understandable . how 's she doing ? danny : she 's fine . phillip : yeah ? has she gotten any of her memory back ? danny : no , not yet , but she will , in time . phillip : sounds like it could be a long haul . danny : is there a point , phillip ? phillip : well , no , just that i think that you 're to be commended . i think a lot of guys in your shoes would already be thinking about packing it in by now . danny : men like you , i guess . phillip : ouch . well , i guess , you know , it is true i 've become a bit more pragmatic about these things . i 'm no longer a big believer in fate and destiny , soul mates . danny : explains all the marriages . phillip : yeah , i guess it would . it either works or it does n't , but it pays to be prepared for either outcome . danny : phillip , i 'm sorry , i do n't think you 're the person to be giving me relationship advice . phillip : well , danny , on the contrary , if there 's one thing i do know about , it 's relationships . michelle : danny , hey . danny : michelle . michelle : hey , guess what ? met a new friend today . danny : really ? michelle : yeah . yeah . olivia . she 's your wife , right ? phillip : yes , olivia is my wife . michelle : yeah , she 's something , huh ? phillip : she is something . danny : michelle , i ran into reva and robbie at the beacon . michelle : oh , you 're okay with her watching robbie , right ? i just needed a little space . danny : yeah , it 's fine . i ... they were both having a great time . michelle : good . you know what ? then i 'm going to go ... i 'll go pick them up . i 'll meet you at home , all right ? danny : well , hold up . i 'm done here , so i 'll walk out with you , okay ? take care , phillip . phillip : you too , danny . good to see you . good to see you , michelle . michelle : you , too . and tell olivia i had fun talking to her . phillip : i 'll tell her . josh : that 's for you . bill : what is this ? josh : it 's an offer on the lakefront property we 're selling . we 're going to focus all our energies on this new project with danny santos . bill : no , we are not . josh : yes , we are . we 're selling that property whether you like it or not . bill : well , you ca n't , because it 's in my name . here you go . josh : you were planning on going through with this deal no matter what your dad and i said , were n't you ? you know , i could fire you right now . i should . bill : yeah ? josh : yeah . bill : well , you know what ? let me save you the trouble , because i quit . josh : really ? bill : yeah , yeah , yeah . and this time for real . josh : again ?

john : everydy , we would like to thank you all for being here , and trust me when i say from the bottom of our hearts , this means the world to us . now , back when i thought i was the only one who was throwing a surprise party here ... [ laughter ] i chose this night specifically because exactly one year ago , this date was supposed to be the happiest day of my life , but instead , i almost lost the love of my life , and in the days and weeks that followed -- and you fought so hard to stay alive -- i had to face a cold , hard truth , and that was , if you lost this battle , i could n't go on either , but you know what ? our prayers were answered , because you survived . so here is to marlena evans , and without a doubt , i am the luckiest man in the world to have you as my wife . [ crowd murmuring ] marlena : you ... oh . well , um ... it was 33 years ago today that i married this amazing man , and i looked at him and i thought , `` i know everything there is to know about you . `` boy , was i wrong . [ laughter ] it has been such an adventure to live with you , even through some very dark times . see , john is so ... hope : xander finally named his boss . marlena : he 's fierce ... hope : he swears it 's kristen . marlena : when it comes to ... john : kristen 's dead . hope : she was in an explosion . that 's all we know . marlena : principles he believes in ... hope : john , the woman i saw at the park -- she dropped a brand - new $ 100 bill , just like the ones i found in ted 's apartment . marlena : but then it would n't be john , my love , my soulmate , my friend . john : what , do you think she could be here in salem ? hope : she could be right here in this room . john : where the hell could kristen ... kate tried to pull susan 's teeth out . you think maybe she thought susan was kristen ? hope : kate was definitely hiding something . that could be it . john : eh , she was looking in the wrong place , though , i 'm telling you , because those were susan 's teeth , so ... marlena : we always came through it together . john : and where the hell could kristen be here , yet go undetected ? sarah : some of his inventions were just off the wall . like , he had a schematic for this high - tech mask that apparently , he claimed would go on like skin and could make you look like anybody you wanted to be . tony : dr. rolf was insane . kristen as nicole : do n't worry , john . kate : she said that she saw kristen wearing a red dress . john : where 'd she see her ? kate : she told me that she saw kristen open the door to nicole 's room . tony : dr. rolf was insane . sarah : make you look like anybody you wanted to be . kristen as nicole : do n't worry , john . abe : ... about nicole surprises me anymore . since she 's come back , she 's been another person . sarah : he had a schematic for this high - tech mask ... tony : dr. rolf was insane . kate : kristen opened the door to nicole 's room . sarah : made you look like anybody you wanted to be . kristen as nicole : do n't worry , john . john : so how did it go with your conversation with nicole ? marlena : not very well . i ask her a few questions , and then , uh , she got upset , and threatened to call the police . kristen as nicole : do n't worry , john . sarah : high - tech mask ... that make you look like anybody you wanted to be . kristen as nicole : do n't worry , john . i know in the past , i 've made some big mistakes . i promise this time , i 'm gon na make your son very , very happy . [ disquieting music ] hope : john . marlena : and here we are today . hope : where 'd you just go ? marlena : surrounded by our -- our friends ... john : you know what you said a second ago about kristen -- she may be in this room ? hope : yeah . john : i know you 're right . marlena : and our family . what a happy time , a happy number of years together , and many more to come . so , my dearest love , you were always worth fighting for . john : i love you . kristen as nicole : okay , the speech is over . let 's go . john : wait . kristen as nicole : uh , we 're leaving . john : you 're not taking my son anywhere . brady : dad , what are you doing ? john : she 's behind ted and kate 's kidnapping , and also ted 's murder . brady : whoa , whoa , whoa , hold on . no , she 's not . nicole would never do that . john : you 're right . nicole would never . you want to do the honors , or should i ? hope : mm , i do n't know . i say go for it . brady : excuse me . excuse me . what are you two talking about ? kristen as nicole : [ yelling ] brady : dad , what the hell are you doing ? kristen : agh ! [ all gasping and exclaiming ] [ dramatic music ] brady : oh , my god . kristen : [ seethes and growls ] male announcer : like sands through the hourglass , so are the `` days of our lives . `` [ soft orchestration ] [ disquieting music ] kate : well , i 'll be damned . abe : i ca n't believe this . anna : so you married your own sister ? eric : was n't nicole . it never was ! eli : hey , you 're not going anywhere ! kristen : let go of me , you pigs ! lani : yeah , that 's gon na work . john : commissioner , let her -- let her go . before you drag her off to jail here , i think she owes us all some answers . kristen : how did i -- how did you figure it out , john , huh ? marlena : i would n't mind hearing a little more about that . john : your old buddy , xander cook , gave you up to the da , kristen . he 's gon na walk away a free man now . hope : said you were running the entire operation , and he was just following orders . john : yeah , he 'd say anything to keep himself out of prison , but you know , when i heard that , i started putting a few things together , like when maggie told kate that she saw you in nicole 's hotel room . brady : i did n't even believe her . john : nobody believed her . kate : she 's the one who had ted and me kidnapped . she 's the one who wanted us to die in the basement . she 's the one who threatened my family if i did n't blame stefan , right ? brady : so you knew ? you knew nicole was kristen ? kate : no , no . no , i thought she was a victim , just like me . i had no idea they were the same person . john : then doc tried to come and talk to you . she tried to help you , but you just said disgusting , cruel things to her , and yeah , nicole was no saint , but she never would 've been that damn vicious . marlena : that 's your specialty . kristen : yeah , well , it was a bad move on my part . every muscle in my body just wanted to grab your skinny throat and squeeze it . john : but you could n't do that , because it would 've given you away , would n't it ? and you knew the only way you could get your hooks into brady was to make him keep thinking you were somebody else , somebody that he was in love with , and that is why you went so overboard tonight to ensure me by whispering in my ear , `` i 'm gon na make brady happier than he has ever been before . `` kristen : i would have . anna : by wearing a rubber mask ? you really thought that would work ? sarah : i told you about the mask that dr . rolf was working on tonight . john : you thought it was science fiction , something right out of `` mission : impossible . `` kristen : yeah , but clearly not so impossible . john : right . and that 's when i put it all together , because without this mask , you could n't operate in salem without giving yourself away . kristen : [ chuckles darkly ] wow , you are really clever , john . i could never put anything past you for long , but i definitely fooled the rest of you morons , even the love of nicole 's life . eric : yeah , why ? brady : why ? why did you do this ? kristen : you do n't know ? brady : no . kristen : i did it for you . brady : you did this for me ? kristen : brother 's company , but most importantly , i did it for you . anna : so that 's it ? she forced you to help her take over dimera enterprises ? tony : no , i agreed to do it . anna : agreed ? why would you help that monster do anything ? tony : it 's complicated . we 'll talk about it later . anna : oh , you better believe we will . kristen : dimera enterprise is my birthright . sarah : you doing all right ? eric : no , i 'm definitely not all right . kristen : what was i supposed to do , stay in exile ? watch vivian 's bastard run it into the ground ? brady , come on . you ca n't be on his side . he forced chad out . he tried to take his wife . marlena : do n't even try to say you did this on moral grounds . you ca n't sell that . kristen : i had to figure out a way to save my father 's company and win the love of my life back . brady : stop it . there 's no way you could 've made it out of that warehouse alive . there 's no way . kristen : yeah , but here i am . luckily , luckily , i had rolf 's playbook , and i could transform myself into the one woman that i thought had a chance with you . i mean , come on , brady . you loved her once , until she slept with your f -- your brother . brady : enough . you fooled me . you got me . a fool . i don't ... no , she -- she did ! she fooled me . john : it 's not on you , man . it 's not on you . brady : i saw the sun . no , i saw the signs . i saw all of them . so what about the scar on your back , kristen ? it was n't from the fire , was it ? it was from the tattoo removal , right ? you had your phoenix taken off your back , 'cause that was the one thing that would give you away . kristen : right , right , and i hated -- i hated it , but it was . you were right . it was a dead giveaway , and it had to go , but inside , inside me , i am still the phoenix , and i beat death again , and if i could n't be with you as myself , at least i could be with you as her . brady : kristen , you stole a woman 's identity , you desecrated her memory , for a man ? kristen : yes , but you were the man ! you are the man , brady ! yes , i stole her identity , but it 's not like she needs it where she is now . sarah : do you want to get out of here ? eric : no , not till i see her dragged out in handcuffs . kristen : and i would do anything to get you back . brady : don't . eli : let 's wrap this up . kristen : if i could figure out a way to come back as myself , and you would give me a chance , i would have . brady : that option kind of went out the window when you decided to drug my brother and have sex with him on video . kristen : i thought it was a gamble . i did -- i did n't even know it was going to work , but i had to try , even though nicole was n't going to have an easy time getting with you , either . eric : you mean because of me ? kristen : [ laughs ] what do you think ? i 'm just a normal person [ disquieting music ] kristen : i admit , you were a thorn in my side , being the love of nicole 's life and all . i mean , there is no accounting for taste . sarah : do n't listen to her . just do n't engage . marlena : no , don't . nothing she can say can change what she 's done . kristen : i have been honest about why i did what i did . i just -- i wish you would understand , brady . brady : understand ? kristen : yeah . brady : understand that you wanted me , but were willing to destroy everyone around me , even my brother ? kristen : oh , my god . you were the fly in my chardonnay , the curdled cream in my coffee . i knew , i knew nicole 's miraculous return was going to be really difficult , because you were gon na be right there , panting after her , clinging to her like a barnacle , so i had to come up with a really good reason for her to reject you . eric : holly ? kristen : go to the head of the class , my boy . [ chuckles ] that little girl 's untimely death , uh , was just what i needed . i mean , it was the motivation nicole needed to just grind you into the ground . sarah : you used the death of a child for your own devices ? marlena : she even blamed you over and over for holly 's death . kristen : marlena , i mean , it kind of was . i mean , was n't it nicole 's dying wish for you to take care of her holly , protect her , and did n't you hand holly over to that fembot , chloe , while the drug cartel was after her ? [ mock gasps ] oh . and did n't chloe succumb to my idiot half - brother ? did n't , uh , she accept his offer to move in with him , let him take care of her and her little brood , and was n't it the drug cartel that kidnapped holly from his house ? i mean , it was genius . it really was , because holly died , and then bingo , nicole was free to send you and all her annoying loved ones packing . sarah : you almost destroyed my mother when you blamed her for holly 's death . kristen : you know what ? i - i felt really bad about that . i did . i do n't have anything against maggie . you know what , john ? do you remember when you and i coached that little league team together ? john : yeah . you were a different person back then . kristen : yeah , but i still look pretty fetching in a baseball cap . oh , but a girl 's got ta do what a girl 's got ta do . brady : what if holly had n't died ? what was your plan to get me to get -- get over nicole ? hope : you 're so calculating . the kidnapping -- it did n't just fall into your lap , did it ? the drug cartel was n't behind holly 's death . you were . you did it . you orchestrated the whole thing , did n't you ? kristen : just like i , uh , caused both world wars and the dust bowl , the dry- out . wow , hope , you have got too much time on your hands now that you 're not commissioner anymore . eli : but i am commissioner , all right , and i tend to trust hope 's gut , so if she thinks that you orchestrated holly 's death , i believe her . kristen : you 're not gon na prove anything . eric : you took the life of a sweet , innocent little girl ... brady : no . eric : just to break up with me ? brady : no , she didn't . she would do a lot of things , but given how much she 's always wanted a child , i do n't think she would harm one . kristen : thank you . thank you . i really appreciate that . but if anyone is responsible for holly 's death , it 's you , sweetheart . you , eric . you sent that little girl to her grave , just like you sent her daddy to his . eric : that little girl did not deserve to die ! she did n't deserve to die ! sonny : she 's got a gun ! [ all yell ] kristen : anybody moves , the bitch gets it . roman : easy , easy . [ disquieting synth music ] john : easy , easy , easy . kristen : you know what ? move . i should just do it , mm ? i put a cap in you , and then someone shoots me , and we go out in a blaze of glory . will : no ! kristen : you know , i suggest you hold off on your heroics . wow , you know what , john ? all that bilge you spouted about how you could n't live without your beloved here ? i think you might just have to live with that . john : let her go . kristen : why , so that everyone here will be on me like white on rice ? john : i said let her go . kristen : and i said no . you know , i think doc and i have had this date since the beginning . hmm ? and i 'm not afraid to pull the trigger . hope : you 're the woman i saw in the park , hovering over a trash can , because you were disposing of the necklace you stole from ted 's apartment after you killed him . kristen : i invoke my constitutional right not to answer , on the grounds that i may incriminate myself . kate : because you 're guilty , and you know it . you murdered ted . kristen : you are having a night for yourself , are n't you , babe ? well , i really loved watching you try and pull out susan 's , uh , buck teeth . will : where is susan ? did you do something to her ? [ suspenseful music ] let 's just say susan wo n't be stepping on my blue suede shoes anymore .

[ suspenseful music ] humira patients , you inspire us . brady : i 'm serious . i can give you the one thing that you want more than to hurt her . that 's me . kristen : nice try , but i did n't get where i am by being naive . you said some things to me , and i heard them , and -- so now you 're just gon na walk off into the sunset with a monster ? brady : i do n't -- i do n't want my father and marlena to hurt anymore . i want them to be okay . just take me , kristen . just do it . marlena : no , no , do n't do that . kristen : right now , it 's time for you to shut your trap . brady : kristen . kristen , i 'm serious . show me -- show me your humanity right now , in this moment . please . i will work this out . kristen : why ? no , why ? brady : because we 've done this before , remember ? i left eve for you before . kristen : yeah , but you double - crossed me . brady : but you 've spent the last month getting back at me , so -- kristen : aye , touché , touché . still , i still ca n't trust you . brady : kristen , i do n't think mutual trust is gon na be a big point in our relationship , but if you want a one - way ticket out of here , baby , just take me . kristen : you remember when i , um , asked you if you would go away with me tonight ? brady : yeah . kristen : yeah , i was gon na tell you everything . i was gon na tell you who i was . i really hoped , like , really hoped , that this would all be true , that you would remember that i was the woman that you loved . i really , really thought that , brady . i thought that we could be together forever . so honestly , i do n't think that the commissioner here is going to , uh , let us do anything . brady : he might , you know . if you let me change places with marlena , i know that we can work something out . kristen : forget it . brady : why ? kristen : why ? because you 're just gon na double - cross me again , and we both know it . no . no , i 'm just gon na take my beautifully coiffed human shield and get the hell out of here ! john : easy ... kristen : back . get back .

marlena : i would n't mind hearing a little more about that . john : your old buddy , xander cook , gave you up to the da , kristen . he 's gon na walk away a free man now . hope : said you were running the entire operation , and he was just following orders . john : yeah , he 'd say anything to keep himself out of prison , but you know , when i heard that , i started putting a few things together , like when maggie told kate that she saw you in nicole 's hotel room . brady : i did n't even believe her . john : nobody believed her . kate : she 's the one who had ted and me kidnapped . she 's the one who wanted us to die in the basement . she 's the one who threatened my family if i did n't blame stefan , right ? brady : so you knew ? you knew nicole was kristen ? kate : no , no . no , i thought she was a victim , just like me . i had no idea they were the same person . john : then doc tried to come and talk to you . she tried to help you , but you just said disgusting , cruel things to her , and yeah , nicole was no saint , but she never would 've been that damn vicious . marlena : that 's your specialty . kristen : yeah , well , it was a bad move on my part . every muscle in my body just wanted to grab your skinny throat and squeeze it . john : but you could n't do that , because it would 've given you away , would n't it ? and you knew the only way you could get your hooks into brady was to make him keep thinking you were somebody else , somebody that he was in love with , and that is why you went so overboard tonight to ensure me by whispering in my ear , `` i 'm gon na make brady happier than he has ever been before . `` kristen : i would have . anna : by wearing a rubber mask ? you really thought that would work ? sarah : i told you about the mask that dr . rolf was working on tonight . john : you thought it was science fiction , something right out of `` mission : impossible . `` kristen : yeah , but clearly not so impossible . john : right . and that 's when i put it all together , because without this mask , you could n't operate in salem without giving yourself away . kristen : [ chuckles darkly ] wow , you are really clever , john . i could never put anything past you for long , but i definitely fooled the rest of you morons , even the love of nicole 's life . eric : yeah , why ? brady : why ? why did you do this ? kristen : you do n't know ? brady : no . kristen : i did it for you . brady : you did this for me ? kristen : brother 's company , but most importantly , i did it for you . anna : so that 's it ? she forced you to help her take over dimera enterprises ? tony : no , i agreed to do it . anna : agreed ? why would you help that monster do anything ? tony : it 's complicated . we 'll talk about it later . anna : oh , you better believe we will . kristen : dimera enterprise is my birthright . sarah : you doing all right ? eric : no , i 'm definitely not all right . kristen : what was i supposed to do , stay in exile ? watch vivian 's bastard run it into the ground ? brady , come on . you ca n't be on his side . he forced chad out . he tried to take his wife . marlena : do n't even try to say you did this on moral grounds . you ca n't sell that . kristen : i had to figure out a way to save my father 's company and win the love of my life back . brady : stop it . there 's no way you could 've made it out of that warehouse alive . there 's no way . kristen : yeah , but here i am . luckily , luckily , i had rolf 's playbook , and i could transform myself into the one woman that i thought had a chance with you . i mean , come on , brady . you loved her once , until she slept with your f -- your brother . brady : enough . you fooled me . you got me . a fool . i don't ... no , she -- she did ! she fooled me . john : it 's not on you , man . it 's not on you . brady : i saw the sun . no , i saw the signs . i saw all of them . so what about the scar on your back , kristen ? it was n't from the fire , was it ? it was from the tattoo removal , right ? you had your phoenix taken off your back , 'cause that was the one thing that would give you away . kristen : right , right , and i hated -- i hated it , but it was . you were right . it was a dead giveaway , and it had to go , but inside , inside me , i am still the phoenix , and i beat death again , and if i could n't be with you as myself , at least i could be with you as her . brady : kristen , you stole a woman 's identity , you desecrated her memory , for a man ? kristen : yes , but you were the man ! you are the man , brady ! yes , i stole her identity , but it 's not like she needs it where she is now . sarah : do you want to get out of here ? eric : no , not till i see her dragged out in handcuffs . kristen : and i would do anything to get you back . brady : don't . eli : let 's wrap this up . kristen : if i could figure out a way to come back as myself , and you would give me a chance , i would have . brady : that option kind of went out the window when you decided to drug my brother and have sex with him on video . kristen : i thought it was a gamble . i did -- i did n't even know it was going to work , but i had to try , even though nicole was n't going to have an easy time getting with you , either . eric : you mean because of me ? kristen : [ laughs ] what do you think ? i 'm just a normal person [ disquieting music ] kristen : i admit , you were a thorn in my side , being the love of nicole 's life and all . i mean , there is no accounting for taste . sarah : do n't listen to her . just do n't engage . marlena : no , don't . nothing she can say can change what she 's done . kristen : i have been honest about why i did what i did . i just -- i wish you would understand , brady . brady : understand ? kristen : yeah . brady : understand that you wanted me , but were willing to destroy everyone around me , even my brother ? kristen : oh , my god . you were the fly in my chardonnay , the curdled cream in my coffee . i knew , i knew nicole 's miraculous return was going to be really difficult , because you were gon na be right there , panting after her , clinging to her like a barnacle , so i had to come up with a really good reason for her to reject you . eric : holly ? kristen : go to the head of the class , my boy . [ chuckles ] that little girl 's untimely death , uh , was just what i needed . i mean , it was the motivation nicole needed to just grind you into the ground . sarah : you used the death of a child for your own devices ? marlena : she even blamed you over and over for holly 's death . kristen : marlena , i mean , it kind of was . i mean , was n't it nicole 's dying wish for you to take care of her holly , protect her , and did n't you hand holly over to that fembot , chloe , while the drug cartel was after her ? [ mock gasps ] oh . and did n't chloe succumb to my idiot half - brother ? did n't , uh , she accept his offer to move in with him , let him take care of her and her little brood , and was n't it the drug cartel that kidnapped holly from his house ? i mean , it was genius . it really was , because holly died , and then bingo , nicole was free to send you and all her annoying loved ones packing . sarah : you almost destroyed my mother when you blamed her for holly 's death . kristen : you know what ? i - i felt really bad about that . i did . i do n't have anything against maggie . you know what , john ? do you remember when you and i coached that little league team together ? john : yeah . you were a different person back then . kristen : yeah , but i still look pretty fetching in a baseball cap . oh , but a girl 's got ta do what a girl 's got ta do . brady : what if holly had n't died ? what was your plan to get me to get -- get over nicole ? hope : you 're so calculating . the kidnapping -- it did n't just fall into your lap , did it ? the drug cartel was n't behind holly 's death . you were . you did it . you orchestrated the whole thing , did n't you ? kristen : just like i , uh , caused both world wars and the dust bowl , the dry- out . wow , hope , you have got too much time on your hands now that you 're not commissioner anymore . eli : but i am commissioner , all right , and i tend to trust hope 's gut , so if she thinks that you orchestrated holly 's death , i believe her . kristen : you 're not gon na prove anything . eric : you took the life of a sweet , innocent little girl ... brady : no . eric : just to break up with me ? brady : no , she didn't . she would do a lot of things , but given how much she 's always wanted a child , i do n't think she would harm one . kristen : thank you . thank you . i really appreciate that . but if anyone is responsible for holly 's death , it 's you , sweetheart . you , eric . you sent that little girl to her grave , just like you sent her daddy to his . eric : that little girl did not deserve to die ! she did n't deserve to die ! sonny : she 's got a gun !

[ scene_break ] courtney : why would you say that you have no right to be a father when you 've already been such a wonderful one ? jason : is carly still out there ? then i 'm going to do whatever it takes to bring her home . and that means things can go wrong . right now , i 'm free to take that risk . i would n't be if i had a child . what i mean -- what i learned from michael is that kids -- kids are wide open . they do n't have defenses . you 're their whole world . they love you unconditionally . they depend on you . and when a parent goes away and does n't come back for whatever reason , something that started out pure gets wrecked . i mean , it happened to sonny . it happened to you . i wo n't do that to my kid . i wo n't stay here . i could n't knowingly risk my life . courtney : so are you saying that you would stop working if we had a baby ? jason : i 'm just -- i 'm just saying that we ca n't have one right now , at least not for a while . my job is to put myself on the line every day -- [ door opens ] jason : so michael 's father does n't have to . sonny : jase -- i put a tracking device on alcazar 's yacht . we have his location . it 's time to bring carly home . [ scene_break ] lorenzo : how did you and sonny meet ? carly : through a mutual friend . why ? lorenzo : you 've asked me a lot of questions about my past , and i 've answered them . does n't that entitle me to know a little bit about yours ? carly : all right , i 'll give you the abridged version . i grew up in a rented dump in florida . i was furious with my adopted mother , and i was jealous of my rich best friend . once i found out who my biological mother was , i was hell- bent on ruining her life . that 's why i went to port charles . i did n't want to make the world a better place . i just wanted to find a rich and powerful man and take him for all he was worth . no noble intentions , no goodness of heart or spirit . i was the complete polar opposite of your lost sophie in every single respect . lorenzo : are you saying you 're using sonny ? carly : are you insane ? no one uses my husband . and those who try , they get chewed up and they get spit out and then they mysteriously disappear . lorenzo : so you love him ? carly : he 's everything to me . lorenzo : and the fact that he just happens to be rich and powerful is , what , an amazing coincidence ? carly : it 's a collateral benefit . sonny and i were n't supposed to happen . he could n't stand me , and the feeling was mutual . lorenzo : how do you cross that bridge ? carly : carefully . painfully . see , sonny and i -- we slept together for all the wrong reasons , and i wound up pregnant . and then it was a pretty specific hell for a while until something happened . and then we sort of just learned to love each other . lorenzo : are you sure about that ? or are you and sonny just making the best of a bad situation ?

melanie : are you feeling sorry for him ? abigail : what ? no , no , not -- not exactly . melanie : abby , i thought you were clear how you felt . abigail : i am . i totally am . melanie : but ? abigail : but i do n't know . when chad first got back to salem , he was furious at me for sleeping with ej . melanie : well , ej manipulated you . abigail : no , he did n't . that 's -- that 's not true . i never blamed ej for what happened with us . i was stupid , and chad had every right to be angry with me -- i mean , for the rest of his life , if he wanted to . melanie : why are you talking in past tense ? abigail : because he -- things changed , and i do n't know if it was maybe ej getting killed or what , but chad -- he 's done some good things lately . melanie : [ scoffs ] like what ? abigail : like getting me my job back at the university hospital . i mean , my god , mel , that was incredible . sami had me blackballed for life practically , and chad fixed that . melanie : so he did something nice . abigail : yeah , he did . melanie : okay , then you really need to watch your back , because i feel like the only time chad is nice anymore is when he wants something . chad : i know what i 'm doing , father . i do not need another lecture about kate . stefano : did you know that she is seeing a man named clyde weston ?

adrienne : do n't you want to jump in and tell will to get on it ? lucas : no , i do n't . okay , maybe a little , i do , but it 's the last thing he wants -- his parents in the middle of his marriage like that . adrienne : i agree . but no one wants to watch a train wreck in slow motion and do nothing to stop it either . and , yes , they 're in love , but they 're still kids -- married kids . do you know what that 's like ? do you know how many ways you can screw that up ? 'cause i do . lucas : well , would you listen to anyone ? adrienne : maybe ... if the right person said something in just the right way . lucas : it 's painful how obvious you 're being right now . you know that , right ? adrienne : i have no shame , especially when it works . so you gon na find out what 's going on with will ?

seriously , i do n't care what chad has done , i want you to watch your back . i do n't think you can trust him , okay ? i feel like he 's out for something . abigail : okay , honestly , though , i do n't see what chad gets out of me working at the hospital . but , yeah , i know . you 're probably right -- i know . melanie : yeah , well , we both kind of have the scars to prove it , so ... remind me of that , by the way , if he 's ever nice to me . abigail : [ chuckles ] deal . ugh ! okay , i am due for work , but i want to take a quick selfie of us . melanie : oh , really fast . i 'm having so much fun surprising people . abigail : yeah , you do n't have too much fun with that , please . melanie : hey , hey , even the people with clothes on is fun , so i 'm gon na keep on ... abigail : okay , but you just saw t , so you know it 's probably all over twitter by now ?

tad : nope . and sonny 's not too happy about it . oh , excuse me . adrienne : three days . they have n't spoken in three days . lucas : well , it 's not personal . i 've had trouble getting will on the phone myself . adrienne : lucas , we 're the parents . we 're last on the call list . will is n't making time for his husband . lucas : his husband is pretty busy himself , as we both can see . adrienne : you know i adore will , but ever since he left for l.a. , things have gone south for the two of them . and i 'm sorry , but will 's dropping the ball here . lucas : i know , adrienne . i know . you 're right . you 're right . adrienne : i 'm concerned for them ... both of them . lucas : but mainly for sonny , right ? you know what ? frankly , i do n't think will 's been very fair with sonny , either . anne : this door should not be locked . theresa : someone has to be in there . anne : well , i think i have a master key . paul : they ca n't find me here with you . you have to hide . sonny : no , i 'm not hiding . no way in hell . paul : fine . anne : hello ? hello ? theresa : hey . sonny : hi . theresa : hey . why was the door locked ? sonny : i do n't know . i did n't lock it . i had my hands full , so i just kind of kicked it closed . theresa : um , okay . anne : let 's just go to p.t . , just in case , okay ? theresa : yeah , sure . sonny : are you looking for someone ? theresa : uh , just -- he 's a new , very good friend , so ... okay . sonny : you can come out of the closet now . oh , that 's right . you 'll never come out of the closet . discover the power of just one shower . abigail : so you went to see chad -- on purpose ? melanie : yeah , yeah , i wanted to get it out of the way . you know , just to make sure he knew that nothing was ever going to happen between us , that my being in town was just a coincidence . abigail : and how did he take that ? melanie : are you feeling sorry for him ? abigail : what ? no , no , not -- not exactly . melanie : abby , i thought you were clear how you felt . abigail : i am . i totally am . melanie : but ? abigail : but i do n't know . when chad first got back to salem , he was furious at me for sleeping with ej . melanie : well , ej manipulated you . abigail : no , he did n't . that 's -- that 's not true . i never blamed ej for what happened with us . i was stupid , and chad had every right to be angry with me -- i mean , for the rest of his life , if he wanted to . melanie : why are you talking in past tense ? abigail : because he -- things changed , and i do n't know if it was maybe ej getting killed or what , but chad -- he 's done some good things lately . melanie : [ scoffs ] like what ? abigail : like getting me my job back at the university hospital . i mean , my god , mel , that was incredible . sami had me blackballed for life practically , and chad fixed that . melanie : so he did something nice . abigail : yeah , he did . melanie : okay , then you really need to watch your back , because i feel like the only time chad is nice anymore is when he wants something . chad : i know what i 'm doing , father . i do not need another lecture about kate . stefano : did you know that she is seeing a man named clyde weston ? chad : yes , i know all about him . stefano : [ laughs ] i doubt that very much . anyway , i am still digging up information , see ? he is a two - bit thug dressed up like a country bumpkin . chad : [ chuckles ] yeah , that 's him . stefano : he shows up out of nowhere , all right ? and is connected to your new girlfriend . chad : i would n't jump the gun on that one . stefano : and his son is dating your ex abigail . chad : yes , i know . i am paying attention . stefano : [ chuckles ] have you thought this through , huh ? what this could do to your plan ? chad : i promise . i 've got this . stefano : if jordan finds out that you are just using her , then ... chad : that wo n't happen . listen , father , i have to go , but i 'll be in touch with you soon . jordan : oh , thank you for coming . ben : yeah , sorry . i just got your message . it sounded serious . jordan : yeah , it is . i just found out that kate roberts is the one that brought clyde to salem . ben : you 're kidding me . jordan : nope , and now they have become inseparable . adrienne : thank you . i am so relieved . normally , everybody just looks at me like i 'm the nosy busybody . lucas : wait a minute . you think that 's what i am ? adrienne : do n't you want to jump in and tell will to get on it ? lucas : no , i do n't . okay , maybe a little , i do , but it 's the last thing he wants -- his parents in the middle of his marriage like that . adrienne : i agree . but no one wants to watch a train wreck in slow motion and do nothing to stop it either . and , yes , they 're in love , but they 're still kids -- married kids . do you know what that 's like ? do you know how many ways you can screw that up ? 'cause i do . lucas : well , would you listen to anyone ? adrienne : maybe ... if the right person said something in just the right way . lucas : it 's painful how obvious you 're being right now . you know that , right ? adrienne : i have no shame , especially when it works . so you gon na find out what 's going on with will ?

paul : [ chuckles nervously ] abigail : you know , you and ben would really get along . melanie : why ? abigail : because he kind of hates chad . yeah , he thinks he 's always playing some kind of angle . melanie : smart and hot -- well done . abigail : thank you . melanie : listen to him , though , please ? seriously , i do n't care what chad has done , i want you to watch your back . i do n't think you can trust him , okay ? i feel like he 's out for something . abigail : okay , honestly , though , i do n't see what chad gets out of me working at the hospital . but , yeah , i know . you 're probably right -- i know . melanie : yeah , well , we both kind of have the scars to prove it , so ... remind me of that , by the way , if he 's ever nice to me . abigail : [ chuckles ] deal . ugh ! okay , i am due for work , but i want to take a quick selfie of us . melanie : oh , really fast . i 'm having so much fun surprising people . abigail : yeah , you do n't have too much fun with that , please . melanie : hey , hey , even the people with clothes on is fun , so i 'm gon na keep on ... abigail : okay , but you just saw t , so you know it 's probably all over twitter by now ?

i mean , what 's the point of all that money if there 's no one to share it with , right ? adrienne : well , is will enjoying the job at least ? lucas : yeah , yeah , i think he is , i think it 's just a lot of stress for him . it 's too much work , maybe , but he 's enjoying it . adrienne : well that 's good . i mean , that 's important . lucas : sonny is important to him too . adrienne : and he 'll remember that now thanks to your call . but it is a two way street . sonny should n't get so wrapped up that he does n't make the time when will can find the time . and he 's the one who encouraged him to go to la , so he 's responsible in this too . lucas : yeah . he needs a gentle reminder from you as well . adrienne : that 's right . lucas : yeah . adrienne : i need my husband to come home . lucas : do you , really ? adrienne : mm - hmm . lucas : guess we could all use a little love in our lives . adrienne : but in the meantime , we can save our sons ? lucas : great . it 's a good day 's work , right ? adrienne : i have to meet kayla , i 'll see you soon ? lucas : yeah . take care . adrienne : you too . lucas : come on , will , just pick up the phone man . tad : hey , you just missed your mom and lucas . sonny : yeah ? tad : yeah , i told them that you went to the other location . did you forget something ?

kate : that was kind of a buzz kill , was n't it ? but a couple of hours ago she was swearing to me that i was going to regret bringing you to salem . clyde : you do n't . kate : not today , i do n't . clyde : well let 's make sure you feel that way tonight ... and tomorrow . and the next day .

[ music plays ] sam : lucky , what are you doing here ? lucky : uh , i don know if you 've heard , but a lot 's gone down tonight and i just -- sam : yeah . lucky : i just wanted to make sure you were all right . sam : i just -- i thought we agreed that you were n't going to protect me anymore . [ scene_break ] nikolas : oh . i -- i do n't understand why you 're making such a big deal out of this . lucky and i were supposed to connect at the hotel , it did n't happen , end of story . that 's -- emily : but apparently , you just took off . i would think that you would jump at the chance to try help your brother through such a difficult time . nikolas : emily , i was in the lobby , my -- my cell phone rang , okay ? you know how i like to pace when i talk on the phone . i wandered outside , walked across the park , and when i got back , he had already been there and gone . that 's it . emily : you never said anything about the park . is there something that you 're not telling me ? nikolas : no . emily : nikolas , i know you , and something 's going on . nikolas : hmm . emily : i think i know what it is . [ scene_break ] ric : how do i make you understand this ? see , i 'm the d.a . , you 're an international psycho . i do n't have to account for my whereabouts , you do . jerry : but holding me in here for questioning -- it 's a bit of a stretch , even for you . there 's no earthly reason why i would want to kill jax and carly 's perfectly lovely nanny . you , on the other hand , are another story . you harbor such a hatred for your brother and have such an unearthly fixation to see him either locked up for the rest of his life or better off dead . now that your `` estranged but controlling `` father has reared up his head , the d.a . is under pressure . it would n't be the first time that you 've snapped or done something unbecoming of an officer of the court . ric : so are you suggesting that i killed leticia ? jerry : i do n't know . does the shoe fit ? [ scene_break ] jax : where the hell is my family ? sonny : they 're safe -- that 's all you need to know , jax . jax : well , excuse me if i 'm not comforted , because your so - called protection did n't do a lot for leticia , did it ? sonny : that 's never going to happen again , jax . jax : you do n't know that . and you 're way out of line because carly 's my wife . she 's not your personal property that you can move around whenever you feel like it . sonny : i understand she 's your wife , but she 's my boys ' mother , they 're in her care , which gives me the right to do whatever the hell i need to do to keep them safe ! jax : yeah , from the danger that you constantly bring down on them -- that 's real big of you , sonny . but guess what -- carly and the boys are n't yours to protect anymore . sonny : you make -- you make carly sound like a pawn on a chessboard . you know better than anybody else that she does n't go where she does n't want to go . jax : oh . sonny : and just -- and just for the record , i 'm not the one who almost got carly killed going after my deranged brother . jax : do you have any idea how tired i am of having my life shadowed by the constant violence that surrounds yours ? i ought to kill you myself and get it over with . sonny : go ahead , then ! do it ! come on ! okay . this is -- this is not working , okay ? can we just be civil for five seconds here ? can we ? jax : fine , we can try . sonny : i 'm not questioning your good intentions . i 'm -- you know , i know you love carly . jax : and the boys . sonny : okay , i -- i know you 're sincere and you -- and you 're worried about them , and you are right about one thing . leticia died because of me and what i do and the people i deal with , which makes me the best person to deal with the situation . jax : where are they , sonny ? sonny : jason took them to the island . feel free to go there , put a positive spin on it , treat it like a vacation if you want . jax : no , i have a better idea . i 'll pick up carly and the boys and take them to australia . sonny : okay , okay -- you 're not getting it , jax . i 'm not the enemy here , but the enemy is watching and -- and the smallest mistake will come back to haunt us . are you so confident that you 're willing to risk being the one that makes that mistake ? [ scene_break ] kate : trevor ? i 'm sorry it took so long . trevor : yeah , well , since when did you start taking your own sweet time when i make an urgent call to you ? kate : oh , i 'm sorry . would you like me to hit my driver on the nose next time he takes too long ? there 's really only so much he can do in a traffic jam . trevor : all right , i apologize . but sonny 's au pair girl was strangled to death and left on his ex - wife 's living room floor . kate : yes , i heard . it 's unspeakable . trevor : since you seem to be so up on current affairs , was that traffic jam from the hotel to sonny 's house ? kate : what is your point , trevor ? trevor : well , did sonny -- kate : did sonny what ? trevor : is sonny trying to make a point and blame me for the murder of his au pair ? kate : sonny believes that you represent anthony zacchara . that 's who he believes i responsible for leticia 's murder . trevor : ah . so sonny thinks that i facilitated the murder . kate : did you ? trevor : well , at this point , would you believe me if i told you no ? [ scene_break ] ric : yeah , i do n't have to murder an innocent woman to bring sonny to justice . jerry : oh , i do n't know . maybe you just want to make him nervous , afraid for his family , distract him , make him look in other directions like anthony zacchara , giving you enough room to sneak up and make your move . ric : you know , i brought you in as a formality . i mean , given your reputation , you 're a natural suspect in any crime in this town , so you 're going to have to get used to that . however , given your level of defensiveness and your attempt to turn this back on me , i 'm starting to wonder how much you really do know about this murder that you 're not saying . alexis : you do know that you 're violating my client 's rights without benefit of counsel . what murder ? jerry : oh , sonny and carly 's nanny . alexis : leticia ? ric : yes . alexis : leticia was murdered ? ric : yes , murdered right in carly 's living room , strangled to death . so you better hope that your client here is guilty because if jerry is n't the killer , then kristina 's in danger from somebody even more insidious .

[ scene_break ] ric : yeah , i do n't have to murder an innocent woman to bring sonny to justice . jerry : oh , i do n't know . maybe you just want to make him nervous , afraid for his family , distract him , make him look in other directions like anthony zacchara , giving you enough room to sneak up and make your move . ric : you know , i brought you in as a formality . i mean , given your reputation , you 're a natural suspect in any crime in this town , so you 're going to have to get used to that . however , given your level of defensiveness and your attempt to turn this back on me , i 'm starting to wonder how much you really do know about this murder that you 're not saying . alexis : you do know that you 're violating my client 's rights without benefit of counsel . what murder ? jerry : oh , sonny and carly 's nanny . alexis : leticia ? ric : yes . alexis : leticia was murdered ? ric : yes , murdered right in carly 's living room , strangled to death . so you better hope that your client here is guilty because if jerry is n't the killer , then kristina 's in danger from somebody even more insidious .

[ scene_break ] [ music plays ] sam : okay , obviously i missed something . what happened tonight ? lucky : an innocent woman was murdered , probably no other reason than being connected to jason and sonny . sam : anyone i know ? lucky : carly 's nanny , leticia . um -- yeah . she was found strangled with a telephone cord in carly 's room . sam : that is awful . i mean , it 's -- it 's horrible . who would want to kill her ? lucky : well , since you were known to be jason 's girlfriend , i just , you know , thought i should check on you . sam : well , thank you for caring . i ca n't remember the last time jason actually cared about my safety . you know , it 's -- it 's kind of ironic , actually , because jason ended up being elizabeth 's big hero and you are turning out to be mine . thank you . lucky : yeah . i 'll do whatever i can to keep you safe [ scene_break ] [ noise ] [ footsteps ] elizabeth : is someone there ?

[ scene_break ] tess : why are we even talking about this ? i hate robert ford . bess : and each reiteration is less convincing than the last . tess : shut up . the only thing i need from bobby is -- bess : `` bobby `` ? tess : the only thing i need from robert ford is his disgusting brute force to get me out of here . as soon as he springs me , i 'm gon na run as far away from that vain , shallow , womanizing , slobbering , preening , iron - pumping jerk as i can get . bess : we 're part of the same person . you can hide your feelings from yourself , but you ca n't hide them from the gatekeeper . [ scene_break ] ford : how many times do i have to tell you ? i went back for tess , because i felt sorry for her , not because i 'm into her . james : i heard you the first time . ford : all right . then how about this ? tess is a nasty , miserable , selfish , vile lowlife . all she ever did was insult me , laugh at me , and tell me i was bad in bed every chance she got . nngh ! i wanted to kill her every day . james : well , there is a very thin line between love and hate , brother , a very thin line , and you just crossed it . it 's gon na cause you a world of hurt . [ scene_break ] starr : when i asked about cole earlier , he 's been on my mind a lot lately . blair : sweetheart , do n't you think that 's because you 're getting closer to james ? starr : i still feel bad for breaking up with him while he was in prison . blair : that 's what he wanted you to do , sweetheart . starr : mom , i think about him every day . i see him in hope -- when she sleeps , the way she curls up , and in her smile . he has no one . i mean , he has n't had his dad for a long time , but he 's always had his mom , and now -- blair : there is nothing any one of us could 've done about that . starr : i tried , mom . i made sure that she was getting better before i even thought about breaking up with him , and now he 's all alone . i do n't know . i know that we 're not together anymore . it 's just , i still care about him . blair : of course , you care about him . i still care about your father . that 's normal . it 's natural . starr : ok . well , what am i supposed to do ? i feel horrible about what happened to marty . i ca n't help him deal with that , and we 're supposed to still be friends , and it 's like i 've forgotten how to be a good one . blair : there 's only one thing that 's gon na make you and cole feel better , and that 's to take your beautiful little girl and go visit him . it 'll remind him that he 's not alone . [ scene_break ] joey : the reason i 'm not with kelly right now is because she 's still recovering from being stabbed by marty . aubrey : that would n't matter to either one of you if you truly wanted to be together . you raked kelly over the coals so many times about me , and now you found out that she was right , that our marriage did start out as a sham , and now you run back to her . joey : no . i finally opened my eyes . aubrey : but now kelly knows that she was your second choice , and no woman wants to be runner - up . joey : she was never my second -- aubrey : what about john mcbain ? what about her feelings for him ? she was sleeping with him . that 's why marty tried to kill her . [ scene_break ] marty : patrick . is it true ? can i talk to him ? tomás : no . that would put both you and him in danger . we ca n't leave any trail . marty : so i just have to trust you ? [ cell phone rings ] tomás : excuse me . marty : no . no . no , no . no , no , no . this is just a ploy for you to get your disk back . once i tell you where it is , you 're gon na turn me in , and then you 're gon na just watch me rot in jail . todd : no , marty . sweetie , no . that 's what tomás wanted to do , though . marty : not you ? todd : no . i think i 've hurt you enough , do n't you ? yeah . besides , it 's safer for me , i think , to have you out of the country than running around telling the cops what 's on that disk . marty : now that 's the todd manning that i know . todd : that 's right . marty , i 'm very sorry about it , but you 're never gon na be with john , ok ? even if natalie was out of the picture , you and john would never work , but you know that , do n't you ? patrick is the love of your life . no one could love you the way patrick loved you . [ scene_break ] roxy : how could you trick me into going to the cafeteria , so you could sneak away ? i was worried sick . i thought that lunatic marty had snatched you . natalie : rox , please . not now . roxy : ok . all right . it 's not all bad news because after brody went looking for you , i called johnny , and he was here faster than you can say , `` ex- fiancé . `` natalie : he 's a cop . he 's just doing his job . roxy : honey , he 's a cop who carries around a picture of you in his wallet . natalie : i ca n't think about that now , roxy . really , all i can think about is liam . nurse : ms. banks , the doctor wants to take some x - rays . natalie : no . i ca n't . i 'm waiting on a call about my baby . nurse : you can take your phone with you . roxy : honey , do n't worry because your little boy has got brody and johnny looking for him , all right ? it 's like he has double daddies .

[ scene_break ] joey : i 'm gon na prove to kelly how much i love her , ok , but even if i do n't , even if she wants to spend her time with john mcbain or anybody else , that 's fine because i would rather be alone than waste one more second with you . aubrey : i deserve that . joey : ok , and right now , i 'm only with you for one reason and one reason only -- to take care of my nephew while jess ca n't , and the second jessica comes back , you 're gone , and i can not wait until the moment that i 'm free of you . and one more thing . if ford does n't have ryder back by 5 : 00 , i 'm holding you personally responsible . [ scene_break ] starr : well , we have just enough time to go to statesville and visit cole . looks like we 're in luck , baby girl . blair : i think cole is the lucky one to have a beautiful little girl and a good friend like you . [ scene_break ] james : i 've got to go to work . ford : great . see you later . james : dude , seriously , you 're falling for someone who is n't even real . tess is a part of jessica , right ? right ? once jessica comes back , tess is gone . ford : well , it does n't matter , because i 'm not interested in tess . james : i hope that 's true . i do n't want to see you get hurt . [ scene_break ] bess : you can keep denying your feelings for robert ford . whether you admit them or not , it makes no difference . tess : good , because for the last time , i do not have feelings for robert ford . bess : how do you explain the hideous blunder you made by trusting cutter wentworth ? tess : what does cutter have to do with this ? bess : you married him because you were running away from your feelings for robert ford . if you had n't been falling in love , tess , you would never have ended up in here waiting for your prince to come . tess : you know , there are easier ways of becoming a daddy . rather than fighting for ryder , we could make a new baby right here , right now . ford : you do n't have to hide anymore , not with me . oh , my god , is james right ? tess ' voice : i need a real man . whoa ! ford : is that real enough for you ? you do n't have to hide anymore , not with me . tess : oh , my god , is bess right ? ford : this is impossible . tess : this ca n't be happening . ford : can i really be falling for that skanky bitch ? tess : could i really be falling for that sleazy bastard ?

[ scene_break ] john : what did tomás say about patrick thornhart ? blair : nothing . just that he was surprised that marty was actually married to him . john : hmm . did it seem like he knew thornhart ? blair : i do n't know . probably knew his writing . tomás is kind of a renaissance man . patrick was a poet . john : thornhart was also mixed up with terrorists . that 's what got him killed . [ scene_break ] tomás : marty saybrooke 's husband is n't dead . patrick thornhart is alive . todd : you really think that 's gon na work ? tomás : we need to go to marty and offer to reunite her with her husband in exchange for your niece 's baby and for the disk you let her steal . todd : i 'm impressed . that is the perfect lie to manipulate marty , get her to give us what we want . tomás : it 's not a lie . i have proof . thornhart is alive .

[ scene_break ] todd : you have proof that patrick thornhart is alive . tomás : why is that so impossible ? todd : well , because i know him and , for some reason , he loved that crazy bitch hiding out in our pool house , and if he had any blood left in him , he 'd probably crawl his way back to her or their son cole . so i figure he 's dead and gone . tomás : you do n't have to believe me . believe this . all the proof you need is right in there . [ scene_break ] john : relax , all right ? you 're the one who said tomás reacted when he found out that marty was thornhart 's widow . blair : yeah ? well , so what ? john : what do you mean , so what ? it 's your tax dollars at work . it 's an investigation . blair : yeah . it 's an investigation , and you 're going after tomás . i do n't even know why i bother telling you this , john . you take one little bit that i say , and you blow it completely out of proportion . john : yeah . you 're right .

[ scene_break ] todd : where 'd you get this ? tomás : are n't we past asking those kinds of questions ? todd : well , when you first said you thought thornhart was alive , i thought you were grasping at straws , but now -- tomás : all we have to do is persuade marty to tell us where she hid the disk . once we get it , we turn her in . todd : mm - hmm , so she can tell the cops all about it . tomás : after everything she 's done , who 's gon na believe her ? todd : john mcbain , for one . he ca n't stand either one of us , so he might believe marty just for old times ' sake . tomás : all right . then what do you suggest we do ? todd : get her out of the country , underground with patrick . [ tomás chuckles ] todd : what ? that way , she 's as far away from us as she is the disk . tomás : why do i get the impression that there 's more involved than that ? todd : eh , let 's just say i owe her one . tomás : well , it could be a moot point , anyway . she might not care about reuniting with her husband , since she seems to be obsessed with john mcbain . [ scene_break ] john : hey , security is on their way . roxy : thank god you 're here . ok . listen . john : what ? roxy : all right . ok . brody does n't think that marty snatched natty , but we know better , right ? john : where 's lovett right now ? roxy : ok . well , he thinks that he knows where natty is , but how could he ? security person : lieutenant mcbain , we got a call . john : hey , good to see you . hey , listen . i need the security footage for every exit for the last hour . security person : ok . john : we 're looking for a woman -- natalie banks . security person : the woman whose baby is missing . john : exactly . security person : all right . we 'll circulate the photo while we pull the tapes . john : excellent . thank you . roxy : so you got a photo of natty in your wallet , huh ?

[ scene_break ] todd : it 's no wonder marty is clinging to john , though . she 's had some pretty bad luck with men in her past . tomás : is that all it was -- bad luck ? todd : mm - hmm . tomás : so you think she 'd be willing to turn over that disk and your niece 's baby in exchange for a chance to reunite with her husband ? todd : it 's worth a shot . [ scene_break ] marty : i ca n't believe it . the one time todd tells the truth . how can natalie survive being thrown off the roof ? i should 've shot her when i had the chance . fake daddy has to come along and ruin everything . ok , sweet baby . let 's think . here 's what we 're gon na do . i 'll have to leave you here . i 'm gon na have to leave you here , but it wo n't be for long , ok , and you will be ok . attaboy . fall asleep . i 'll be right back . i just have to go to the hospital and take care of your mom . todd : oh , hey , hey , marty , you should go and sit down . i have some great news for you . marty : not right now . i have something i have to take care of . todd : wait a minute . patrick is alive . marty : what ?

[ scene_break ] tess : you 're wrong about ford . as a matter of fact , bessie , i gave him the dirt on aubrey and joey , and he came back to spring me . bess : and here you still are . tess : because we got caught . if those orderlies had 've come in two minutes later -- bess : undoubtedly , ford wanted to get caught . tess : no , he did n't . he wanted to get me out of here , and he is gon na come back for me . you do n't know him the way i do . bess : oh , no . i knew this would happen . [ scene_break ] ford : that 's daddy 's little man . what ? james : do n't you think we should talk about this ? ford : about what ? james : about the fact that you had all the information you needed to get ryder back and then you risked everything by going back to help tess . ford : i told you , i felt sorry for her . james : yeah . i do n't buy that , bobby . ford : well , then i do n't know what to tell you , james . james : how about the real reason why you went back ? ford : what other reason would there be ? tess : what are you babbling about ? afraid what would happen ? bess : you 're falling in love with robert ford . james : dude , you 're totally falling in love with tess .

[ scene_break ] ford : i am not falling for tess . james : yeah . yeah . that 's what you keep saying over and over . ford : because it 's true . james : oh , really ? because you had all the dirt you needed on joey and aubrey , and , dude , you were done . you could 've left tess there , and she would 've been out of your life for good , but no . no . instead , you had to run right back and risk everything . dude , you could 've been arrested , not to mention you could 've lost every chance of getting custody of ryder . so why would you risk all of that if you 're not even into her ? [ scene_break ] tess : i hate robert ford . bess : this can only end badly for you , tess . case in point -- nash . you fell in love with him . ultimately , you were integrated , and jessica reemerged , and what happened next ? tess : i know what happened . i disappeared . jessica came back . bess : and nash fell in love with jessica . tess : what do you care ? you do n't even have feelings . bess : it 's not only my job to protect jessica , but everyone that lives inside of her . i do n't want your heart to be broken when we are all integrated . tess : no one is getting integrated . bess : that 's not an option , and neither is a relationship with robert ford . only jessica is allowed to have relationships . you can not . it is not permitted . tess : why not ? i 'm a consenting adult . bess : you 're not a person , tess , and jessica 's body is not yours to give . tess : you can go now . bess : i strongly urge you to stop thinking about robert ford . to do otherwise is futile . [ scene_break ] aubrey : so kelly is ok waiting for you while we stay married . joey : kelly knows that the only reason i 'm still with you is to make sure my nephew does n't end up in foster care , ok ? kelly knows how much my family means to me , and now she knows how much she means to me , too . aubrey : then if kelly means so much to you , what are you doing here with me ? why are n't you at her bedside making it up to her ? because kelly did n't welcome you back with open arms , did she ? [ scene_break ] [ cell phone rings ] john : mcbain . roxy : it 's a good thing brody knew where you went . brody : yeah . she took a spill . natalie : it 's nothing . i 'm fine . brody : yeah . well , the doctor is on his way in to make sure , and security is gon na keep an eye on you from now on . roxy : yeah , so do n't you be thinking that you can run away again . natalie : why did you bring me back here , anyway ? you should 've left me where you found me , and you should 've gone into my uncle 's house and searched for our son . what if our son was in there ? john : we got the warrant . [ scene_break ] marty : patrick . it 's patrick . yeah . you just put this together , try to fool me . todd : to fool you . no . marty : yeah . you just want your disk back . you want your disk back , and you 've come up with this ridiculous story as a way to try to get it . todd : it 's not a story . it 's the truth , marty . oh , listen . even i am not cruel enough to tell you that your husband is alive if i was n't absolutely sure . marty : not sure i believe that . todd : here 's the thing . you do n't have to believe it . tomás and i are gon na put you on a plane , get you out of the country , so you can be with patrick . tomás : a friend from paris has made arrangements for you to take a chartered plane . it 's gon na meet you at a private airstrip . he 's got connections there , so nobody will know . todd : huh ? you want to make a deal ? [ scene_break ] brody : i 'll call you as soon as i know anything . natalie : john ... please find our son . [ scene_break ] tess : why are we even talking about this ? i hate robert ford . bess : and each reiteration is less convincing than the last . tess : shut up . the only thing i need from bobby is -- bess : `` bobby `` ? tess : the only thing i need from robert ford is his disgusting brute force to get me out of here . as soon as he springs me , i 'm gon na run as far away from that vain , shallow , womanizing , slobbering , preening , iron - pumping jerk as i can get . bess : we 're part of the same person . you can hide your feelings from yourself , but you ca n't hide them from the gatekeeper . [ scene_break ] ford : how many times do i have to tell you ? i went back for tess , because i felt sorry for her , not because i 'm into her . james : i heard you the first time . ford : all right . then how about this ? tess is a nasty , miserable , selfish , vile lowlife . all she ever did was insult me , laugh at me , and tell me i was bad in bed every chance she got . nngh ! i wanted to kill her every day . james : well , there is a very thin line between love and hate , brother , a very thin line , and you just crossed it . it 's gon na cause you a world of hurt . [ scene_break ] starr : when i asked about cole earlier , he 's been on my mind a lot lately . blair : sweetheart , do n't you think that 's because you 're getting closer to james ? starr : i still feel bad for breaking up with him while he was in prison . blair : that 's what he wanted you to do , sweetheart . starr : mom , i think about him every day . i see him in hope -- when she sleeps , the way she curls up , and in her smile . he has no one . i mean , he has n't had his dad for a long time , but he 's always had his mom , and now -- blair : there is nothing any one of us could 've done about that . starr : i tried , mom . i made sure that she was getting better before i even thought about breaking up with him , and now he 's all alone . i do n't know . i know that we 're not together anymore . it 's just , i still care about him . blair : of course , you care about him . i still care about your father . that 's normal . it 's natural . starr : ok . well , what am i supposed to do ? i feel horrible about what happened to marty . i ca n't help him deal with that , and we 're supposed to still be friends , and it 's like i 've forgotten how to be a good one . blair : there 's only one thing that 's gon na make you and cole feel better , and that 's to take your beautiful little girl and go visit him . it 'll remind him that he 's not alone . [ scene_break ] joey : the reason i 'm not with kelly right now is because she 's still recovering from being stabbed by marty . aubrey : that would n't matter to either one of you if you truly wanted to be together . you raked kelly over the coals so many times about me , and now you found out that she was right , that our marriage did start out as a sham , and now you run back to her . joey : no . i finally opened my eyes . aubrey : but now kelly knows that she was your second choice , and no woman wants to be runner - up . joey : she was never my second -- aubrey : what about john mcbain ? what about her feelings for him ? she was sleeping with him . that 's why marty tried to kill her . [ scene_break ] marty : patrick . is it true ? can i talk to him ? tomás : no . that would put both you and him in danger . we ca n't leave any trail . marty : so i just have to trust you ? [ cell phone rings ] tomás : excuse me . marty : no . no . no , no . no , no , no . this is just a ploy for you to get your disk back . once i tell you where it is , you 're gon na turn me in , and then you 're gon na just watch me rot in jail . todd : no , marty . sweetie , no . that 's what tomás wanted to do , though . marty : not you ? todd : no . i think i 've hurt you enough , do n't you ? yeah . besides , it 's safer for me , i think , to have you out of the country than running around telling the cops what 's on that disk . marty : now that 's the todd manning that i know . todd : that 's right . marty , i 'm very sorry about it , but you 're never gon na be with john , ok ? even if natalie was out of the picture , you and john would never work , but you know that , do n't you ? patrick is the love of your life . no one could love you the way patrick loved you . [ scene_break ] roxy : how could you trick me into going to the cafeteria , so you could sneak away ? i was worried sick . i thought that lunatic marty had snatched you . natalie : rox , please . not now . roxy : ok . all right . it 's not all bad news because after brody went looking for you , i called johnny , and he was here faster than you can say , `` ex- fiancé . `` natalie : he 's a cop . he 's just doing his job . roxy : honey , he 's a cop who carries around a picture of you in his wallet . natalie : i ca n't think about that now , roxy . really , all i can think about is liam . nurse : ms. banks , the doctor wants to take some x - rays . natalie : no . i ca n't . i 'm waiting on a call about my baby . nurse : you can take your phone with you . roxy : honey , do n't worry because your little boy has got brody and johnny looking for him , all right ? it 's like he has double daddies .

[ scene_break ] joey : i 'm gon na prove to kelly how much i love her , ok , but even if i do n't , even if she wants to spend her time with john mcbain or anybody else , that 's fine because i would rather be alone than waste one more second with you . aubrey : i deserve that . joey : ok , and right now , i 'm only with you for one reason and one reason only -- to take care of my nephew while jess ca n't , and the second jessica comes back , you 're gone , and i can not wait until the moment that i 'm free of you . and one more thing . if ford does n't have ryder back by 5 : 00 , i 'm holding you personally responsible .

[ scene_break ] bess : you can keep denying your feelings for robert ford . whether you admit them or not , it makes no difference . tess : good , because for the last time , i do not have feelings for robert ford . bess : how do you explain the hideous blunder you made by trusting cutter wentworth ? tess : what does cutter have to do with this ? bess : you married him because you were running away from your feelings for robert ford . if you had n't been falling in love , tess , you would never have ended up in here waiting for your prince to come . tess : you know , there are easier ways of becoming a daddy . rather than fighting for ryder , we could make a new baby right here , right now . ford : you do n't have to hide anymore , not with me . oh , my god , is james right ? tess ' voice : i need a real man . whoa ! ford : is that real enough for you ? you do n't have to hide anymore , not with me . tess : oh , my god , is bess right ? ford : this is impossible . tess : this ca n't be happening . ford : can i really be falling for that skanky bitch ? tess : could i really be falling for that sleazy bastard ?

[ scene_break ] maxie : it 's obvious that claudette panicked when she found out you were getting the paternity - test results today . nathan : look , it 's possible that claudette hurried out of here because the paternity - test results are coming back sooner than she anticipated and she has n't had any time to come up with some kind of contingency plan in case i 'm not charlotte 's father . maxie : yep , that would also make sense . nathan : and it 's also possible that she 's not the only person who 's entirely prepared for what 's gon na happen today . maxie : what do you mean ? i thought that you wanted to know . nathan : i 'm not talking about me . maxie : well , you certainly ca n't be referring to me . nathan : maxie , you have refused to even discuss what 's gon na happen if i am charlotte 's father . i mean , are you prepared for that ? are you -- are you even willing to try ? [ scene_break ] jordan : whoever did this covered their tracks very , very carefully . anna : well , i have my issues with paul , but , honestly , i ca n't really fault him for losing the case . when he could n't introduce the confession , his hands were tied . and then , there was the testimony that alexis gave . jordan : i do n't think that the media reports could truly convey what a debacle it was . anna : some people are speculating that she was drunk . jordan : yeah . anna : really ? jordan : well , i confronted her during a break , and she insisted that she had one glass of wine at lunch . anna : ugh . jordan : now , either she 's lying about that , or the emotional pressure got to her . i do n't know . anna : how bad was it ? jordan : by the end of it , she was nearly incoherent . just emotional and rambling and contradicting herself -- you know , yelling at scott -- even paul , for that matter , saying not to call julian her husband . i - it was ridiculous . anna : well , i mean , you ca n't really fault her for that last part . jordan : when the judge asked her to step down , she did and tottered for a bit , and then she collapsed right into julian 's arms . anna : in front of the jury ? jordan : oh , yeah . and they saw the whole thing . anna : okay , i 'm not gon na get angry after the fact because ... i 'm just not . but this was our one chance to get jerome . what the hell was she thinking ? ! jordan : alexis is -- she 's only human , right ? maybe sitting there with julian in front of her , she -- she could n't cope . i do n't know . that 's -- that 's the only explanation that i can think of of why she fell apart on that stand . anna : well , i need better answers than that . jordan : [ sighs ] so , what are you gon na do -- are you gon na talk to alexis ? anna : i 'm gon na talk to paul . [ scene_break ] tracy : of course , we can talk if you think it 'll help . paul : it definitely will . thank you . yeah . [ elevator bell dings ] paul : i know a great little steak place nearby that i go to when i 'm in the area . tracy : great . paul : i , uh , i 'm so glad that we ran into each other this way . i hope you feel the same way . [ scene_break ] curtis : any progress on your profile of the serial killer at general hospital ? andré : i ca n't discuss that with you . you 're not an official part of the investigation . curtis : true , but i was part of the conversation at the pcpd . it is part of my , uh , expertise . and i was the one who suggested that the killer probably did n't work at the hospital . andré : let 's just drop it . curtis : [ scoffs ] what 's the big deal , man ? i mean , you were there . jordan clearly is comfortable talking to me about this . andré : well , i 'm not . [ scene_break ] paul : i 'm sorry . hopefully , this wo n't take long . tracy : uh , you were so fortunate to find a - accommodations so close to the facility . it 's -- it 's remote here . i wonder if the , uh -- the guests are all vacationers . paul : it is . damn it . what did i do with my wallet ? tracy : paul , we really did n't need to come back here to find your wallet . i mean , i can afford to pay for dinner , god knows . why do n't we just go to the steakhouse ? come on . let 's go . paul : do n't be silly . you 're the one doing me a favor , which i truly appreciate . i am buying dinner -- end of story . i did n't notice it was gone until we got into the car . i ca n't remember the last time i saw my wallet . if it truly is lost , i need to know as soon as possible . [ cell phone ringing ] tracy : are n't you gon na answer that ? paul : no . [ cell phone beeps , ringing stops ] paul : it 's nothing important . [ rustling ] [ luggage unzips ] [ scene_break ] anna : well , paul 's not answering . jordan : well , he did n't come into the office today , so you wo n't find him there . anna : he must have taken a mental - health day . jordan : [ chuckles ] anna : maybe he 's laying low . you know , he 's nothing if not arrogant . he hates to lose . it sounds like he was handed his butt at that trial . jordan : oh , yes . so what are you gon na do ? are you gon na respect his privacy ? anna : no . [ chuckling ] no . i 've spent too much of my time trying to bring julian to justice . so i 'm not gon na come back here and , now everything 's gone wrong , just sit around and do nothing . no . i 'm gon na go talk to paul . [ scene_break ] griffin : if this is leading back to our unfortunate affair or the night nathan shot me , i 'll pass . it 's over . it 's done . let it go . claudette : i ca n't . i tried to talk to you about this before , but you would n't give me a chance . griffin : if this is another one of your games ... claudette : it 's not , i swear . look . [ sighs ] i had hoped for so long that i would never have to involve you in this , but i just do n't know what else to do . griffin : claudette , if you have something to actually say to me , then spit it out . claudette : okay . [ sighs ] it 's a long and painful story , but i 'll just cut to the chase , okay ? the night that nathan shot you and he left me , i - i discovered something . griffin : what ? claudette : i found out i was pregnant . [ scene_break ] maxie : nathan , you ... handled the fact that i have georgie . you 've never had a problem with it . so why would i have a problem with you having a child ? and that is a rhetorical question , because we are about to get proof that you are not charlotte 's father . nathan : listen . listen . we 'll -- we 'll deal with the proof when we get it , okay ? right now , i want to talk about you and your feelings , okay ? if i am charlotte 's father ... maxie : mnh . nathan : ... maxie , then i need you to be honest with me about where you stand . maxie : if you want honesty , then , five years ago , i would have done everything i could to make sure you did n't have a relationship with your daughter , because i would n't have wanted you to have any connection to claudette ... which means i was a lot more like claudette than i would like to admit . oof . nathan : maxie , no , that 's not true . maxie : i hope not . i mean , i - i feel like a better person today , and that 's partially because of you ... ... but mostly because of georgie . and now that i 'm a mom ... i would never do anything to sabotage a relationship that you would have with your child . i know what it 's like to be separated from the person that you love more than anything in the world , and that 's what she would be for you if she was yours . and i - i want that for you , nathan . i really do ... if it 's true . what i 'm trying to say is that if , in fact , you and claudette do have a daughter together ... i know that you 're gon na step up , and you 're gon na be a father to her , and you 're gon na commit yourself to raising her and loving her . and i will completely support you , always . [ scene_break ] griffin : you were pregnant when your marriage to nathan broke up ? claudette : [ sighs ] yes . nine months later , i gave birth to a little girl , charlotte . i only told nathan about her a few days ago for reasons that i will explain later . griffin : yeah , i think that merits an explanation . claudette : well , what 's important for you to know is that i am almost positive that nathan 's the father . griffin : `` almost positive `` ? claudette : nathan and i never used protection , and you and i were always very , very , very careful ... except for the couple times that we were n't . [ scene_break ] maxie : and i - i promise you that all of my reservations are about claudette being a lying liar [ chuckles ] not about you being a dad . you are going to make a great father . nathan : i have never loved you more than i love you right now . maxie : i love you , too . and ... i want you to know that it 's okay if you 're hoping that charlotte is yours . nathan : honestly , i do n't -- i do n't know what i 'm hoping . i think , at this point , it 's pretty clear that claudette does have a daughter named charlotte and that she must have had compelling reasons for keeping her a secret all this time . [ sighs ] it also explains why she went through all this trouble to reconnect with me . and if she is running from someone dangerous , it makes sense she 'd go to a cop for protection . whether or not charlotte is my daughter , i want to make sure she 's safe . maxie : because your first instinct is to protect , and that is one of the things that i love most about you . nathan : you know , we could , um -- i could wait for that messenger anywhere . [ cell phone ringing ] maxie : [ sighs ] [ ringing continues ] [ scene_break ] griffin : so , what you 're telling me is that you -- you ca n't be certain that your daughter is nathan 's child . claudette : like i said , i think that she is his . you know , i - i feel it . and i have been trying to do some research on some probabilities online in situations such as these . and so far , you know , the results have been encouraging . griffin : but you just admitted that you basically do n't know ... which is why you 're here , telling me , as -- as a preemptive strike , because if nathan finds out he 's not the father , he 's gon na come directly to me and tell me that i am , and you wanted to get here first so you could spin it , right ? right ? ! claudette : yes ! yes ! i am not sure that charlotte is nathan 's , and , yes , i wanted to be the one to tell you that . griffin : you know , what i do n't understand is why did n't you tell nathan as soon as you found out you were pregnant ? no matter what was going on in your relationship , nathan or any other father would have the right to know . claudette : i had just watched nathan shoot you in a drunken rage . i had no idea how he 'd react . i was afraid to -- griffin : that 's an excuse , and you know it . claudette : well , the important thing is he knows now . griffin : you told nathan the child is his ? claudette : yes , because she is his ! i 'm almost positive ! [ sighs ] griffin : you were perfectly fine keeping me in the dark about all this a half- hour ago . why the sudden need to tell me ? were you trying to unburden your conscience , or is there something else you 're not telling me ? claudette : nathan demanded a paternity test , and i thought that it would take a few days , but it looks like we 'll be getting the results today . griffin : you 're telling me that i may find out i have a daughter in the next few hours . [ cell phone ringing ] claudette : hello . nathan : the results are in . where are you ? claudette : in my room . nathan : look , i 'm gon na go pick up the official papers , and then -- and then maxie and i will come to you . claudette : [ sighs ] actually ... you might be finding out in the next couple minutes . [ scene_break ] andré : okay . let 's do this . curtis : look , man , skip the sparring , okay ? we got more important things to talk about . andré : really ? curtis : look , i respect your decision not to talk to me about this , okay ? you 're doing the pcpd a disservice . they need all the help they can get with catching this guy , but , you know , it 's your call . andré : then i do n't see the problem . curtis : the problem is your motive . this has nothing to do with police procedure or -- or -- or a code of ethics . you 're shutting me down because of jordan . andré : i 'm aware that your actions disrupted jordan 's life before . she , understandably , is wary of you . curtis : if you know jordan like you think you do , you would know that we worked it out , and we 're good . maybe it 's you who 's out of the loop . oh , you want to take a swing at old curtis ? take a shot . jordan : curtis . [ scene_break ] olivia : anna . anna : ooh . olivia : [ chuckling ] hi . anna : hi . olivia : i did n't know you were back in town . it 's good to see you . anna : yeah . it 's nice to see you , too . is paul here ? olivia : no , paul 's not here right here . i was just doing a quick spot - check of the room after the new chambermaid cleaned it up . you here to give him hell about julian 's trial ? anna : yeah . olivia : well , i was only in the courtroom for the verdict being read , but , uh , from what i understand , paul did the best he could . alexis -- not so much . anna : that 's what i heard . olivia : i 'm sorry , anna . it does n't look like julian 's ever gon na pay for what he did . but if it 's any consolation , it will be a cold day in hell before he ever sees his son again . anna : is he bothering you ? olivia : well , not yet , but i 'm not naive enough to think he 's gon na walk away from leo without a fight . anna : if you ever need my help with anything , you know you just have to ask . olivia : thank you , anna , truly . if you 're looking for paul , did you try his office ? anna : yeah , no , he took the day off . so , i wanted to leave a note for him , 'cause i do want to speak to him . [ ringtone playing ] olivia : oh , sure . anna : is that okay ? olivia : yeah , sure , sure , sure . anna : thank you . olivia : ugh . god , i 'm sorry . i - i - i have a very , uh ... particular guest who is demanding my immediate attention . uh , i got to run . can you let yourself out when you 're done ? anna : yeah , of course . sure . olivia : take care . anna : it 's nice to see you . olivia : yeah . anna : okay . where to find a notebook ? brilliant . [ scene_break ] tracy : so , paul , why do n't we forego dinner ? if your wallet 's really gone , you 're gon na have to cancel all your credit cards -- it 's such a lengthy process -- and then , dinner on top of that , it 's -- you 're gon na miss too much time with your daughter . paul : i know exactly what time i need to be back at the facility . susan made that very clear . tracy : i thought you said she did n't speak . paul : you 'd be surprised to know how much she can convey with the sounds and gestures that she makes . tracy : i 'm -- i 'm glad she can communicate with you . paul : yes . yes . i can understand when she wants me to stay or leave ... or if a nurse or someone is in the door . [ chuckles ] found it . glad that little drama is over . tracy : good . now we can go . paul : y - you know , tracy , i - i just had an idea . why do n't we order in ?

[ papers rustling ] [ scene_break ] jordan : why are you telling andré to hit you ? [ object thuds ] curtis : it 's , uh -- it 's a boxing gym . it 's kind of what we do . jordan : when we agreed to meet here after your workout , you did n't mention curtis . is he your sparring partner or ... andré : no . no . i 'm not . curtis : i got stuff to do . i 'm out . andré : that 's your boy . [ sighs ] jordan : okay , uh ... what was all that about ? andré : [ grunting ] jordan : andré . andré : he kept asking questions , prying , really , about the hospital serial- killer case , and i made it clear i was n't about to discuss it with him . jordan : okay , fine , but when i walked in , the tension was -- was off the charts , and -- and curtis was goading you to hit him . that does n't really go with a discussion . andré : maybe it 's because i just do n't like the guy . [ grunting ] [ scene_break ] anna : i guess this just must be his research . [ metal clatters ] [ scene_break ] tracy : [ laughs ] why on earth would i want room service when you 've been talking up that great steakhouse ? let 's stick with our original plan . paul : i - i 'm sorry , tracy . [ lock engages ] paul : i - i ca n't let you leave . [ next_on ] laura ( to kevin ) : what are you doing here on my flight ? nathan ( to claudette ) : what the hell is going on ? griffin ( to maxie ) : you were just blindsided yet again by something that involves me . anna ( to jordan ) : i need you to get over to paul 's room . there 's something you need to see . paul ( to tracy ) : it 's now time for me to tie up every loose end . | anna returns to town and first meets with griffin , assessing that she regrets moving and not at least being there for julian 's trial , knowing that their chance to bring duke 's murderer to justice is now ruined . she also admits that she can not believe the cops have tried and failed to find and catch the hospital killer , and have had to close down the hospital after sabrina has paid with her life . they still have no suspicion as to whom the hospital killer is . anna later meets with jordan and they both realize something happened to prevent the warrant to have alexis wired and obtain the taped confession from julian , from being valid . they know that `` somebody `` secretly ruined that for them . anna knows she has not seen or heard from paul and wants to find out what he might know about it . yet she still has no suspicion of him . she finds olivia and gets her to unlock paul 's hotel room while she looks around . and right when she least expects it , she finds paul 's cuff links and knows what that means . meanwhile , tracy is clearly able to overhear paul confessing to his catatonic daughter that he killed all the people who hurt her . she attempts to have him believing she suspects nothing of him . yet he knows she 's onto him and makes it clear that he 's desperate knowing that she now knows he murdered sabrina . claudette is obviously spooked when she finds out that nathan has run a dna test to prove paternity of her daughter . she rushes to find griffin and informs him , for the first time , that she has a daughter who is more than likely nathan 's although it 's entirely possible she is his . he knows she is playing a game with both of them for revealing this for the first time and has reason to be afraid of the results of the paternity test . nathan then goes with maxie to meet with both of them after he 's obtained the results of the test in a sealed envelope . he knows he has to answer it and reveal the truth once and for all . | <s>[INST] singer : breathe in and let it all out take some time to ... anna : thank god that i 'm back . singer : ... consider your talents anna : maybe now i can find out what the hell 's been going on around here . singer : you know it by now [ scene_break ] paul : happy birthday , susie q. i made all your birthday wishes come true . and if there 's anything -- anything else that your little heart desires ... all you have to do is blow out the candles , and i promise i will make that happen . come back , susie . they 're all gone now . well , except for monica quartermaine . i - i killed them all . i did it for you , and ...

[ sighs ] nathan : what do you mean ? maxie : suddenly , out of the blue , she has this child with you she 's not mentioned for months ? nathan : it 's all pretty manipulative . maxie : and i 'm not gon na mention the bizarre way she told your mother she was gon na be a grandma without even giving you a hint she was gon na do that . claudette : i thought it was the right thing to do . and i was happy to see that nathan 's mother could accept reality , even if you ca n't . maxie : you have lied about everything since i met you . so why not lie about this child , too ? [ scene_break ] singer : we 'll get by [ door opens ] griffin : anna . anna : hi . griffin : i was so glad to get your message . welcome back . anna : hi . oh , thank you . griffin : so great to see you . anna : thank you . it 's lovely to see you , too . sorry . i missed you so much . oh , i wish it were under better circumstances . griffin : of course , you heard . anna : what -- that julian was acquitted ? yeah , i heard . ugh , god . despite the fact that he is guilty as sin , double jeopardy applies , and he 'll never again be tried for duke 's murder . griffin : mm . anna : he 'll never be brought to justice now . griffin : when i heard the verdict , my first thought was how disappointed you 'd be . anna : disappointed ? disbelieving . i 'm so frustrated . i 'm angry , you know ? i just do n't understand . i should n't have let robin persuade me to stay in berkeley . i should have been here for the trial . griffin : no . anna : yes . griffin : there 's nothing you could have done . it was better for you to spend time with emma , robin , and patrick than to sit in that courtroom and witness that debacle . anna : i 'm sorry that we could n't get justice for your father . it seems like it 's just one loss after another here . i know you were close to nurse santiago , were n't you ? griffin : yeah . i am so sorry for your loss . anna : well , sabrina was nearly part of our family for a while , you know ? and patrick was very upset -- and robin . but emma -- emma adored her . having to explain to emma that sabrina 's gone ? it makes me want to scream , you know ? i - i 've ... i have spent the better part of my life upholding the law , and now the whole system just failed . i mean , it just failed .

[ button clicking ] [ elevator bell dings ] [ scene_break ] nathan : maxie , you got that , uh , conference call with crimson in a minute , right ? maxie : it can wait . nathan : well , i mean , it does n't have to . i mean , you 've been trying to get the designer on the phone for weeks , yeah ? maxie : [ sighs ] yes , i have . nathan : so ... why do n't you go , all right ? i will straighten things out with claudette . you do n't have to be here for the actual conversations . maxie : you know what ? it -- it is a little noisy in here , so i will go find a quiet corner somewhere . but i 'll be back shortly . claudette : i found your note outside my door ... look , i know this whole experience has been horrible , and i have not handled things in the best way . nathan : yeah , that 's an understatement . claudette : i was wrong to hide charlotte from you . i made the only choice that i could at the time , and every hour that passes since i told you the truth , i 've realized how much i 've denied you . i want you to be a father , a real father , to our daughter . i hope you want that , too , 'cause i could n't imagine a better father for charlotte . i want you to be a part of her life , and i hope you want her to be a part of yours . [ scene_break ] griffin : thank you . i do n't know how much information you have on nurse santiago 's murder . anna : yeah , i spoke to dante about sabrina . the theory is that she 's the latest victim in the serial killer 's murder spree at general hospital . they believe that she witnessed the killer 's attempt on monica quartermaine and that the murderer followed her and killed her so she would n't be able to identify him . griffin : there 's a little bit of good news . monica quartermaine is resting at home ... anna : oh , thank god . griffin : ... and she should make a full recovery . anna : oh , she 's lucky . while i was in california , i - i was given access to all the evidence we have against the killer . griffin : uh , is there any , besides the description of the cufflink officer spencer found in one of the labs ? anna : no , there 's very little . we do n't even have the cufflink , just a photograph of one similar from online . there 's not a lot to go on . i 'm determined to do whatever i can to help with the case . i mean , sabrina -- she deserves that . griffin : yeah . she does . she was taken much too soon . anna : while others -- they just seem to have nine lives . when i left here for california , we had an airtight case against him . we had a recording of him confessing to ordering the hit on your father and to killing carlos himself . we also have his wife 's testimony and corroborating witnesses and evidence . so how does all that evaporate and his confession ? i want to know why . griffin : [ sighs ] anna : hi . jordan : hi . anna : um , thank you so much for coming . i wonder if you could tell me what the hell happened with julian 's warrant . [ scene_break ] paul : tracy . what in the world are you doing here ? tracy : uh , uh , hi , paul . i came to see susan . paul : i figured as much , but -- but why ? how did you even know my daughter was here ? tracy : oh , well , dillon and i were talking a - a - about how upset you were after the julian jerome trial , and we thought that it would cheer you up to have a visit from susan . so dillon called suki 's in bar harbor and left a message , and the person that called us back said that the , uh , the shop had changed hands . and i asked if there was a forwarding address . paul : mm . and they told you about celestial heights . tracy : yes , and i was disturbed when i realized that -- that she 'd been committed , and you did n't feel that you could tell me or dillon . paul : well , it 's been something ... private for me . tracy : well , when i heard , i just -- i just -- i jumped in the car . i had to -- i had to come here , and i 'm -- i 'm -- think it 's a mistake . i regret it . i - i should have talked to you first . i did n't mean to invade your privacy . paul : i understand . tracy : you do ? paul : i 've known you for a long time , tracy , and i know how much family means to you . thank you for caring . but as for susan , i - i mean , seeing her right -- right now is just not a good time . tracy : she 's at dinner ? paul : no , n - nothing like that . susan , uh ... does n't speak . she ... uses sounds and gestures , um , that i can understand . but right now , she signaled to me that she , uh , wanted to be alone . tracy : wow . that must be very difficult for you . paul : she tires easily . i 'm ... staying in the area overnight , so i - i could come back later and -- and -- and visit . tracy : well , again , i 'm -- i 'm -- i 'm embarrassed , and i apologize for coming without saying anything to you . i - i now realize that this is a very , very private matter for you . paul : it has been . but now that you 're here , um ... i actually would like to talk to you about susan . [ scene_break ] andré : i thought i was sparring with derek . curtis : well , so did i. i guess he double - booked by accident . andré : so , where is he ? curtis : mnh - mnh - mnh . i did n't know you boxed . andré : yeah , i learned a long time ago . still do it occasionally when i find the time . it 's a great workout and excellent for focus . curtis : and so it is . it 's also a great way to work off some aggression . andré : that , too . curtis : well , look , man , uh , if you still want to use the bag , i 'm done here . i 'll go . andré : or you and i could go a few rounds . oh , we do n't know each other 's experience level , but we can be careful , right ? curtis : okay . [ scene_break ] nathan : if charlotte is my daughter , of course , i want to have a relationship with her -- of course i do . that goes without saying . but instead of getting into it here , why do n't we just wait a couple hours until we have our answer ? claudette : a couple hours ? nathan : well , ye ah , i get the results of the paternity test today . claudette : what ? ! how ? i - i - i was -- how can it happen so quick ? i mean , i was under the impression that it was gon na take longer . nathan : well , it wo n't . claudette : well , if the lab rushes the results , there could be a mistake . nathan : pcpd uses this lab all the time . the results will be accurate , and when i get them , i will call you , and we can all open them up together , okay ? i think that 's the best way to do this , given all the mutual suspicion and distrust . claudette : fine , yeah . i have to go . maxie : did you -- did you see how fast she just took off right now ? you know why , right ? she 's desperate to do damage control before she 's exposed . nathan : [ chuckles ] let 's not jump to conclusions . maxie : please , allow me this moment to feel ... totally vindicated .

[ scene_break ] jordan : i swear to you , anna , i did n't screw up the warrant for the wiretap . you were there . you saw me write it up . anna : i was present . i did n't witness your work personally . jordan : i know i gave the right address when i filled out the request for the warrant -- i know . how long have i been a cop , right ? i know everything needs to be checked and double - checked . anna : the warrant was invalid . jordan : i have gone over everything personally , and i can not find any sign that someone was able to get into our system to tamper with that warrant . but i still believe that is exactly what happened . anna : okay . how ? julian was in jail . he had limited access to visitors . how is he supposed to order something like that done ? jordan : he always had full access to his attorney . anna : oh , no . jordan : yes . i think scott bribed somebody in the office to change it . anna : all right , yeah . while i agree that scott 's ethics are flexible , he 's not going to do something like that . he 's not gon na do something that 's gon na land him in prison for obstruction of justice . jordan : look , all i know is that the original warrant was correct . that confession was admissible until someone tampered with the records . anna : well , whoever that was -- their efforts set julian free . [ scene_break ] paul : susan has been on my mind recently for many reasons , and i could use someone to talk to about it , and we could grab a quick bite before you head back . tracy : a -- a quick bite ? paul : i 've had a lot on my plate recently . i try to compartmentalize and keep it all under control . i 've been feeling overwhelmed lately , like things are starting to get away from me . like sabrina 's death , for instance -- i - i - i did n't see that coming . and i - i could n't have possibly anticipated that ... anyway , um ... it felt really good , and it helped talking to you ... back at the church . and since you 're here , um ... well , i know that we 're not family any longer , but , well , we are friends , are n't we ? tracy : absolutely . but i do n't want to take away from your time with susan . paul : i just told you that she needed a little time alone . i - is there some reason why you would n't want to have dinner with me ? [ scene_break ] claudette : god , how hard is it to find ? [ knock on door ] claudette : hi . thank you for coming over . it means so much to me that you would just drop everything and come by 'cause i needed to see you -- griffin : what is it ? claudette : i told you that i talked to nathan , and later maxie . i had been withholding certain information , and i came clean . griffin : so , why the frantic call to me ? claudette : 'cause there 's a slight possibility that what i told them could involve you . [ scene_break ] maxie : it 's obvious that claudette panicked when she found out you were getting the paternity - test results today . nathan : look , it 's possible that claudette hurried out of here because the paternity - test results are coming back sooner than she anticipated and she has n't had any time to come up with some kind of contingency plan in case i 'm not charlotte 's father . maxie : yep , that would also make sense . nathan : and it 's also possible that she 's not the only person who 's entirely prepared for what 's gon na happen today . maxie : what do you mean ? i thought that you wanted to know . nathan : i 'm not talking about me . maxie : well , you certainly ca n't be referring to me . nathan : maxie , you have refused to even discuss what 's gon na happen if i am charlotte 's father . i mean , are you prepared for that ? are you -- are you even willing to try ? [ scene_break ] jordan : whoever did this covered their tracks very , very carefully . anna : well , i have my issues with paul , but , honestly , i ca n't really fault him for losing the case . when he could n't introduce the confession , his hands were tied . and then , there was the testimony that alexis gave . jordan : i do n't think that the media reports could truly convey what a debacle it was . anna : some people are speculating that she was drunk . jordan : yeah . anna : really ? jordan : well , i confronted her during a break , and she insisted that she had one glass of wine at lunch . anna : ugh . jordan : now , either she 's lying about that , or the emotional pressure got to her . i do n't know . anna : how bad was it ? jordan : by the end of it , she was nearly incoherent . just emotional and rambling and contradicting herself -- you know , yelling at scott -- even paul , for that matter , saying not to call julian her husband . i - it was ridiculous . anna : well , i mean , you ca n't really fault her for that last part . jordan : when the judge asked her to step down , she did and tottered for a bit , and then she collapsed right into julian 's arms . anna : in front of the jury ? jordan : oh , yeah . and they saw the whole thing . anna : okay , i 'm not gon na get angry after the fact because ... i 'm just not . but this was our one chance to get jerome . what the hell was she thinking ? ! jordan : alexis is -- she 's only human , right ? maybe sitting there with julian in front of her , she -- she could n't cope . i do n't know . that 's -- that 's the only explanation that i can think of of why she fell apart on that stand . anna : well , i need better answers than that . jordan : [ sighs ] so , what are you gon na do -- are you gon na talk to alexis ? anna : i 'm gon na talk to paul . [ scene_break ] tracy : of course , we can talk if you think it 'll help . paul : it definitely will . thank you . yeah . [ elevator bell dings ] paul : i know a great little steak place nearby that i go to when i 'm in the area . tracy : great . paul : i , uh , i 'm so glad that we ran into each other this way . i hope you feel the same way . [ scene_break ] curtis : any progress on your profile of the serial killer at general hospital ? andré : i ca n't discuss that with you . you 're not an official part of the investigation . curtis : true , but i was part of the conversation at the pcpd . it is part of my , uh , expertise . and i was the one who suggested that the killer probably did n't work at the hospital . andré : let 's just drop it . curtis : [ scoffs ] what 's the big deal , man ? i mean , you were there . jordan clearly is comfortable talking to me about this . andré : well , i 'm not . [ scene_break ] paul : i 'm sorry . hopefully , this wo n't take long . tracy : uh , you were so fortunate to find a - accommodations so close to the facility . it 's -- it 's remote here . i wonder if the , uh -- the guests are all vacationers . paul : it is . damn it . what did i do with my wallet ? tracy : paul , we really did n't need to come back here to find your wallet . i mean , i can afford to pay for dinner , god knows . why do n't we just go to the steakhouse ? come on . let 's go . paul : do n't be silly . you 're the one doing me a favor , which i truly appreciate . i am buying dinner -- end of story . i did n't notice it was gone until we got into the car . i ca n't remember the last time i saw my wallet . if it truly is lost , i need to know as soon as possible . [ cell phone ringing ] tracy : are n't you gon na answer that ? paul : no . [ cell phone beeps , ringing stops ] paul : it 's nothing important . [ rustling ] [ luggage unzips ] [ scene_break ] anna : well , paul 's not answering . jordan : well , he did n't come into the office today , so you wo n't find him there . anna : he must have taken a mental - health day . jordan : [ chuckles ] anna : maybe he 's laying low . you know , he 's nothing if not arrogant . he hates to lose . it sounds like he was handed his butt at that trial . jordan : oh , yes . so what are you gon na do ? are you gon na respect his privacy ? anna : no . [ chuckling ] no . i 've spent too much of my time trying to bring julian to justice . so i 'm not gon na come back here and , now everything 's gone wrong , just sit around and do nothing . no . i 'm gon na go talk to paul . [ scene_break ] griffin : if this is leading back to our unfortunate affair or the night nathan shot me , i 'll pass . it 's over . it 's done . let it go . claudette : i ca n't . i tried to talk to you about this before , but you would n't give me a chance . griffin : if this is another one of your games ... claudette : it 's not , i swear . look . [ sighs ] i had hoped for so long that i would never have to involve you in this , but i just do n't know what else to do . griffin : claudette , if you have something to actually say to me , then spit it out . claudette : okay . [ sighs ] it 's a long and painful story , but i 'll just cut to the chase , okay ? the night that nathan shot you and he left me , i - i discovered something . griffin : what ? claudette : i found out i was pregnant . [ scene_break ] maxie : nathan , you ... handled the fact that i have georgie . you 've never had a problem with it . so why would i have a problem with you having a child ? and that is a rhetorical question , because we are about to get proof that you are not charlotte 's father . nathan : listen . listen . we 'll -- we 'll deal with the proof when we get it , okay ? right now , i want to talk about you and your feelings , okay ? if i am charlotte 's father ... maxie : mnh . nathan : ... maxie , then i need you to be honest with me about where you stand . maxie : if you want honesty , then , five years ago , i would have done everything i could to make sure you did n't have a relationship with your daughter , because i would n't have wanted you to have any connection to claudette ... which means i was a lot more like claudette than i would like to admit . oof . nathan : maxie , no , that 's not true . maxie : i hope not . i mean , i - i feel like a better person today , and that 's partially because of you ... ... but mostly because of georgie . and now that i 'm a mom ... i would never do anything to sabotage a relationship that you would have with your child . i know what it 's like to be separated from the person that you love more than anything in the world , and that 's what she would be for you if she was yours . and i - i want that for you , nathan . i really do ... if it 's true . what i 'm trying to say is that if , in fact , you and claudette do have a daughter together ... i know that you 're gon na step up , and you 're gon na be a father to her , and you 're gon na commit yourself to raising her and loving her . and i will completely support you , always . [ scene_break ] griffin : you were pregnant when your marriage to nathan broke up ? claudette : [ sighs ] yes . nine months later , i gave birth to a little girl , charlotte . i only told nathan about her a few days ago for reasons that i will explain later . griffin : yeah , i think that merits an explanation . claudette : well , what 's important for you to know is that i am almost positive that nathan 's the father . griffin : `` almost positive `` ? claudette : nathan and i never used protection , and you and i were always very , very , very careful ... except for the couple times that we were n't . [ scene_break ] maxie : and i - i promise you that all of my reservations are about claudette being a lying liar [ chuckles ] not about you being a dad . you are going to make a great father . nathan : i have never loved you more than i love you right now . maxie : i love you , too . and ... i want you to know that it 's okay if you 're hoping that charlotte is yours . nathan : honestly , i do n't -- i do n't know what i 'm hoping . i think , at this point , it 's pretty clear that claudette does have a daughter named charlotte and that she must have had compelling reasons for keeping her a secret all this time . [ sighs ] it also explains why she went through all this trouble to reconnect with me . and if she is running from someone dangerous , it makes sense she 'd go to a cop for protection . whether or not charlotte is my daughter , i want to make sure she 's safe . maxie : because your first instinct is to protect , and that is one of the things that i love most about you . nathan : you know , we could , um -- i could wait for that messenger anywhere . [ cell phone ringing ] maxie : [ sighs ] [ ringing continues ] [ scene_break ] griffin : so , what you 're telling me is that you -- you ca n't be certain that your daughter is nathan 's child . claudette : like i said , i think that she is his . you know , i - i feel it . and i have been trying to do some research on some probabilities online in situations such as these . and so far , you know , the results have been encouraging . griffin : but you just admitted that you basically do n't know ... which is why you 're here , telling me , as -- as a preemptive strike , because if nathan finds out he 's not the father , he 's gon na come directly to me and tell me that i am , and you wanted to get here first so you could spin it , right ? right ? ! claudette : yes ! yes ! i am not sure that charlotte is nathan 's , and , yes , i wanted to be the one to tell you that . griffin : you know , what i do n't understand is why did n't you tell nathan as soon as you found out you were pregnant ? no matter what was going on in your relationship , nathan or any other father would have the right to know . claudette : i had just watched nathan shoot you in a drunken rage . i had no idea how he 'd react . i was afraid to -- griffin : that 's an excuse , and you know it . claudette : well , the important thing is he knows now . griffin : you told nathan the child is his ? claudette : yes , because she is his ! i 'm almost positive ! [ sighs ] griffin : you were perfectly fine keeping me in the dark about all this a half- hour ago . why the sudden need to tell me ? were you trying to unburden your conscience , or is there something else you 're not telling me ? claudette : nathan demanded a paternity test , and i thought that it would take a few days , but it looks like we 'll be getting the results today . griffin : you 're telling me that i may find out i have a daughter in the next few hours . [ cell phone ringing ] claudette : hello . nathan : the results are in . where are you ? claudette : in my room . nathan : look , i 'm gon na go pick up the official papers , and then -- and then maxie and i will come to you . claudette : [ sighs ] actually ... you might be finding out in the next couple minutes . [ scene_break ] andré : okay . let 's do this . curtis : look , man , skip the sparring , okay ? we got more important things to talk about . andré : really ? curtis : look , i respect your decision not to talk to me about this , okay ? you 're doing the pcpd a disservice . they need all the help they can get with catching this guy , but , you know , it 's your call . andré : then i do n't see the problem . curtis : the problem is your motive . this has nothing to do with police procedure or -- or -- or a code of ethics . you 're shutting me down because of jordan . andré : i 'm aware that your actions disrupted jordan 's life before . she , understandably , is wary of you . curtis : if you know jordan like you think you do , you would know that we worked it out , and we 're good . maybe it 's you who 's out of the loop . oh , you want to take a swing at old curtis ? take a shot . jordan : curtis . [ scene_break ] olivia : anna . anna : ooh . olivia : [ chuckling ] hi . anna : hi . olivia : i did n't know you were back in town . it 's good to see you . anna : yeah . it 's nice to see you , too . is paul here ? olivia : no , paul 's not here right here . i was just doing a quick spot - check of the room after the new chambermaid cleaned it up . you here to give him hell about julian 's trial ? anna : yeah . olivia : well , i was only in the courtroom for the verdict being read , but , uh , from what i understand , paul did the best he could . alexis -- not so much . anna : that 's what i heard . olivia : i 'm sorry , anna . it does n't look like julian 's ever gon na pay for what he did . but if it 's any consolation , it will be a cold day in hell before he ever sees his son again . anna : is he bothering you ? olivia : well , not yet , but i 'm not naive enough to think he 's gon na walk away from leo without a fight . anna : if you ever need my help with anything , you know you just have to ask . olivia : thank you , anna , truly . if you 're looking for paul , did you try his office ? anna : yeah , no , he took the day off . so , i wanted to leave a note for him , 'cause i do want to speak to him . [ ringtone playing ] olivia : oh , sure . anna : is that okay ? olivia : yeah , sure , sure , sure . anna : thank you . olivia : ugh . god , i 'm sorry . i - i - i have a very , uh ... particular guest who is demanding my immediate attention . uh , i got to run . can you let yourself out when you 're done ? anna : yeah , of course . sure . olivia : take care . anna : it 's nice to see you . olivia : yeah . anna : okay . where to find a notebook ? brilliant . [ scene_break ] tracy : so , paul , why do n't we forego dinner ? if your wallet 's really gone , you 're gon na have to cancel all your credit cards -- it 's such a lengthy process -- and then , dinner on top of that , it 's -- you 're gon na miss too much time with your daughter . paul : i know exactly what time i need to be back at the facility . susan made that very clear . tracy : i thought you said she did n't speak . paul : you 'd be surprised to know how much she can convey with the sounds and gestures that she makes . tracy : i 'm -- i 'm glad she can communicate with you . paul : yes . yes . i can understand when she wants me to stay or leave ... or if a nurse or someone is in the door .

[ sighs ] jordan : okay , uh ... what was all that about ? andré : [ grunting ] jordan : andré . andré : he kept asking questions , prying , really , about the hospital serial- killer case , and i made it clear i was n't about to discuss it with him . jordan : okay , fine , but when i walked in , the tension was -- was off the charts , and -- and curtis was goading you to hit him . that does n't really go with a discussion . andré : maybe it 's because i just do n't like the guy .

[ next_on ] laura ( to kevin ) : what are you doing here on my flight ? nathan ( to claudette ) : what the hell is going on ? griffin ( to maxie ) : you were just blindsided yet again by something that involves me . anna ( to jordan ) : i need you to get over to paul 's room . there 's something you need to see . paul ( to tracy ) : it 's now time for me to tie up every loose end .Summarize.[/INST]anna returns to town and first meets with griffin , assessing that she regrets moving and not at least being there for julian 's trial , knowing that their chance to bring duke 's murderer to justice is now ruined . she also admits that she can not believe the cops have tried and failed to find and catch the hospital killer , and have had to close down the hospital after sabrina has paid with her life . they still have no suspicion as to whom the hospital killer is . anna later meets with jordan and they both realize something happened to prevent the warrant to have alexis wired and obtain the taped confession from julian , from being valid . they know that `` somebody `` secretly ruined that for them . anna knows she has not seen or heard from paul and wants to find out what he might know about it . yet she still has no suspicion of him . she finds olivia and gets her to unlock paul 's hotel room while she looks around . and right when she least expects it , she finds paul 's cuff links and knows what that means . meanwhile , tracy is clearly able to overhear paul confessing to his catatonic daughter that he killed all the people who hurt her . she attempts to have him believing she suspects nothing of him . yet he knows she 's onto him and makes it clear that he 's desperate knowing that she now knows he murdered sabrina . claudette is obviously spooked when she finds out that nathan has run a dna test to prove paternity of her daughter . she rushes to find griffin and informs him , for the first time , that she has a daughter who is more than likely nathan 's although it 's entirely possible she is his . he knows she is playing a game with both of them for revealing this for the first time and has reason to be afraid of the results of the paternity test . nathan then goes with maxie to meet with both of them after he 's obtained the results of the test in a sealed envelope . he knows he has to answer it and reveal the truth once and for all .</s> | 11,630 |

[ cell phone chimes ] brooke : oh , shoot . katie : what ? brooke : it 's r.j . katie : is something wrong ? brooke : well , he says it 's an emergency , but you know teenagers . he could be missing his phone charger or something . katie : go . take care of r.j . i do n't want eric to feel ganged up on . brooke : are you sure ? katie : yeah . do n't worry . i can handle eric . brooke : no doubt . but can you handle quinn ? steffy : i appreciate that you believe in us . but it 's just -- wyatt : but liam . steffy : yes . but liam . wyatt : steffy . he 's already showing you where he stands . you get this amazing job , this incredible opportunity , and instead of supporting you , where is he ? he 's off scolding your grandfather for even giving it to you . you 're chasing your tail on this one . you 're getting nowhere . and you might realize this before our divorce is final . you might even realize it now . steffy : what i realize is that you always know how to turn on the charm . wyatt : me ? steffy : yeah , you . [ cell phones chime ] wyatt : it 's one of my talents . steffy : mm . wyatt : and one of yours is attracting followers . are you seeing this ? steffy : 10 million ? is this real right now ? wyatt : yes . steffy : this is -- wyatt : do you remember when we had 1 million and how happy we were ? this is crazy ! i mean , how many c.e.o.s can say that have 10 million followers ? ridge has , what , like 10 ? 20 ? steffy : well , maybe if you followed him around and took sexy pictures of him ... wyatt : okay , that -- steffy : i do n't even know why ... wyatt : do n't do that . steffy : [ laughs ] wyatt : that 's an image i do n't want ever . steffy : but seriously ... i would n't have this many followers , none of this would be happening if it were n't for you and your support . and ... [ sighs ] ... your mom 's support , too . you both helped get me where i am today . wyatt : to new beginnings . liam : you believe in quinn . i know . you believe she 's changed . you believe it enough to say things to me ... that i 'm guessing you 're gon na apologize for one day . but i know the truth . i know who she is . i have had her dagger to my throat . i have seen her in ways that i hope -- i hope you never have to . but you will . eric : good night , liam . quinn : eric . you go upstairs . i 'll make sure liam gets off the property . eric : all right . quinn : eric is right . you should leave . liam : so should you . and you will . someday soon . katie : `` i thought i 'd stop by for a quick visit . okay with you ? `` [ sighs ] quinn , you 're so annoying . quinn : it 's time for you to go . now . liam : you know , i should have had you locked up when i had the chance . steffy and i would be together , and you would n't be able to do this to him . quinn : i hope you understand how much i appreciate that you did n't . liam : [ scoffs ] quinn : i hope you understand how much i appreciate what we were . caring for you was the start . it changed me . liam : oh , stop it . quinn : no , you need to hear this . you made me realize that i could care about somebody besides myself . besides my son . being with you opened me up to so much more . all of a sudden , i -- i was n't so scared to be vulnerable . i was even excited about it . look at me . now i 'm having the first healthy relationship that i have ever had with a man . you -- you showed me that i could do better than bill , that i could do better than deacon . that i could be with a man who truly cared about me . and i - i found the best . i found the best in eric . and now that i have found that , i realize that i want the same thing for my son . i do . and make no mistake , liam , wyatt is gon na have the best . he is going to have steffy , and there is nothing you can do to stop it . you want to go up against me ? you probably could succeed if i were alone , but i am not alone anymore . yes , i have wyatt , but i also have eric and his company and his legacy . liam : you know i 'm not listening to any of this , right ? quinn : you know what ? you should listen to this . liam : okay . quinn : enjoy your time with steffy . liam , enjoy it . because these days are gon na be your last . | liam stands there and berates eric and does not want him to listen to quinn any more . she did not even have to kidnap him or kill him . she has that place right here in his home . do not listen to her . eric tells liam that he is biased . everyone can change and he believes in quinn . he listens to liam rant on and on and he says that is enough . if liam can not be respectful , then just get out . he will not let him disrespect his wife this way in her own home . katie is not mad at brooke for turning down bill and choosing ridge . she too is doing what brooke is doing , that is what is best for her even though that means living next door to quinn ; there is eric . katie explains that quinn thinks she is behaving totally inappropriate and wants her to stay away from eric . katie denies to brooke that she has feelings or a crush on him . it is just quinn who is not quite right in the head and she is capable of doing terrible things . liam says he is not being disrespectful to eric but only loyal to steffy . eric says there is nothing he would not do for steffy and that includes getting her back with wyatt . wyatt is loyal to his women , unlike liam who waffles back and forth between his women . he only falls back on steffy when hope is out of the picture and then there is ivy who he strung along so he goes from one to the other . eric wonders if liam had a granddaughter which son would he pick , liam or wyatt ? pam orchestrates with nicole to have a big brass plaque for steffy to display on her door steffy forrester , ceo . brooke does agree that everyone can change , even quinn though that is a hard one to accept . katie says quinn hates her even though she tries to hide it . she can not tell eric as everyone in his family has and it did not do any good . brooke advises her too anyway . someday he will remember it . | <s>[INST] wyatt : okay , pick up the file , and pretend that you 're passing it to someone , and in a powerful , sexy way . give me sexy ! get that sexy on ! steffy : we ca n't post this ! wyatt : why not ? steffy : my feet on the desk ? wyatt : you 're the c.e.o . , are n't you ? you got to own that ! steffy : thank you for being so happy for me . wyatt : how could i not be ? right . my brother . on a scale of 1 to 10 , how unhappy is he ? steffy : not sure . how high would you score storming off to speak to my grandfather ? liam : do you understand that quinn 's words are coming out of your mouth right now ? eric : do n't do this . liam : are you telling me that you would support steffy leaving me for wyatt ? eric : yes . he 's my stepson . he 's family . he 's loyal . liam : he is loyal to his mother . i 'm loyal to steffy , eric . quinn : until hope walks in the room . or ivy . liam : please do not listen to this woman who kidnapped me , who tried to kill me , who manipulated all of us , and she 's still doing it , by the way . except , this time , she does n't need a secret cabin in the woods to get what she wants because , eric , she 's got you right here , hidden away in your own home . and you do n't even realize it . the woman is using you . she 's using you for your company , for your power , for your influence . and you ca n't let her get away with it . katie : and , here we are , back in the living room again . brooke : it 's wonderful . this is perfect for you and will . katie : i know . i love it . and it 's all mine . i mean , i never felt right in bill 's house . i mean , he bought it , he picked it out . i was not part of that process , but this -- this is all me . brooke : have you said anything to him ? katie : um , no , we have n't really talked about your new relationship status . brooke : well , go ahead . you can let me have it . i took your husband , i tore your family apart , and then ... katie : and then you went back to ridge , just like everyone knew you would . pam : yoo - hoo ! special delivery ! steffy : special delivery ?

kelly : blair 's going to have ace taken away from me . dorian : what would make you think that ? kelly : because i just talked to her on the phone , and she threatened me ! i wanted to talk to todd , and she flipped out and hung up the phone ! dorian : well , in a way , that 's understandable . after all , she does believe that her beloved rapist husband is ace 's father . kelly : no , no , she does n't . she knows that he 's not ace 's father . and she also knows that i 'm not his biological mother . todd told her everything , and now she 's threatening to tell everyone everything . dorian : she actually said that ? kelly : she hates me , dorian ! she 's crazy with hate ! dorian : honey , please , just calm down , will you ? kelly : no , i ca n't do that . i ca n't lose my baby . i ca n't lose my baby . i 'm not going to let her take him away from me . i 'm not going to let that happen ! dorian , you do n't understand . if i lost ace , i would die ! i would die ! dorian : now , you trust me on this . i am not going to let blair hurt you . kelly : how are you going to stop her ?

adriana : yeah , i 'm fine . antonio : yeah ? adriana : i mean , i was scared to death when that man grabbed me , but the sisters at my old school took really good care of me . antonio : good . well , i 'm glad you 're home and safe . i 'm sure that my mom and dorian will be , too . the san juan cops -- they treated you well ? adriana : they would n't let me out of their sight . i have a question to ask you . antonio : what 's that ? adriana : do i have a brother ? antonio : what gave you that idea ? adriana : sergeant ortiz flew back with me . is it true ? antonio : here . have a seat . antonio : yes . yes , it 's true . you have a half brother . his name 's tico . adriana : have you met him ? antonio : at a hospital in puerto rico . he was held hostage by the santi organization , but he 's going to be all right . adriana : what 's he like ? antonio : he 's very nice . i think you 'll like him . adriana : what -- you mean , i 'm going to meet him ? he 's in llanview ? antonio : he 's -- he spent the night at my place . but listen , adriana -- adriana : no -- oh , my gosh ! i ca n't wait to meet him ! can we go over there right now ? antonio : do n't you think you should call dorian first ? she missed you . adriana : yeah , of course . i 've missed her , too . we 've gotten to be really close . i ca n't wait to see her and tell her about my brother . antonio : good . bo : must be a relief to have adriana back , huh ? antonio : yeah . yeah , i just wish she had n't found out about her brother yet . i was hoping that i could make sure that he is who he says he is , you know ? i -- i do n't know why i took him in so fast . i -- i think i made a mistake . bo : it 's not that long ago that you lost your brother ; leaves a big hole in your family . antonio : what , you think that i 'm trying to replace cristian with him ? bo : no , no . you 'd never do that , but when something like that happens , people tend to reach out to family . carlotta : does adriana know that she has a brother ? jessica : antonio thought it would be best to keep it from her for just a little while . carlotta : how did he ever find tico ? dios mio . jessica : actually , i found him . when i found the old santi vault , he was chained up inside . carlotta : what ? jessica : people from the santi family thought that tico would know where your brother had hid his money , and -- carlotta : but i do n't understand . antonio said that the santi organization had fallen apart . jessica : oh -- oh , it is , and it 's because of antonio . carlotta : but then , what does he have to protect tico from ? tico : tia carlotta , i 'm sorry about the way we met . carlotta : oh , no , no , no , no . no te preocupes . jessica : here . why do n't you sit ? carlotta : i 'm sorry . it 's just that when i first saw you , i was so shocked . it was like i was seeing a ghost . you look so much like your father when he was young ; when he was really still my brother . tico : well , i never knew him , and i did n't even know he was el toro santi until they told me who my father was . and it was through jessica back in the hospital in puerto rico that i learned i also had an aunt who had rejected my father . carlotta : no . i did not reject my brother . i rejected the evil in him -- the evil things that he did . he almost broke up aaron 's heart . tico : yeah , you do n't need to explain . it 's ok . but did you know about me ? carlotta : not too much . only that when you were very young , and that you went to live in europe . and now that your father 's enemies kidnapped you and they tortured you and did terrible things to you . [ tico sighs ] carlotta : are you all right ? tico : yes , yes . it 's just that now that i know who he is -- i mean , was -- my life will never be the same again . carlotta : no . you go back to where you 're from . when you go back home , you may be able to recapture your life . you live in spain , verdad ? tico : si , pero , i 'm thinking of staying here for a while , in llanview . carlotta : no . you ca n't stay here . i do n't mean to say that i do n't want you living here in llanview , but -- tico : yeah , but you do n't . i understand . you 've been afraid all this time that the santi organization could hurt your family . and you 've already suffered so much . jessica : uh -- i told tico about cristian . tico : yeah . i wish i could have known him . carlotta : my son was a wonderful man and a good son , much like your father was as a boy . tico : yeah . well , maybe my father still had some of that good in him , sending me away as he did . carlotta : but somehow , you could n't extricate yourself completely , and it eventually came and found you and hurt you . tico : yes . but strangely enough , it 's what brought me to my new family . jessica tells me that you helped her find the vault . jessica : when i called you and asked for the combination on the back of the brooch . carlotta : but i thought giving you the combination was to save antonio 's life . jessica : it -- it was . i thought that it was antonio locked in the vault , but it was tico . tico : yeah . jessica saved my life , and so did you . carlotta : well , for that , i 'm very grateful . i was n't able to help save my own son . antonio : hey , maim . carlotta : adriana ! adriana : hi . carlotta : oh , i was so worried about you ! until antonio told me that you were safe with the sisters . preciosa ! antonio : what are you doing here , maim ? carlotta : well , i came over to see jamie , but she was sleeping . and then i found -- antonio : i was going to introduce you two tonight . carlotta : adriana , i want to introduce you to your half brother , augustico . tico : call me tico . adriana , you have no idea what it means to me to finally meet you . adriana : me , too . tico : you know ; they were right . you 're very beautiful . adriana : i 'd love for you to meet my mother , dorian lord . tico : she must be a very different person than you are . adriana : why do you say that ? tico : what kind of a woman would marry a vicious man like our father ? blair : oh . well , hi , dorian . dorian : hello , blair . blair : i was n't expecting you to stop by , so -- actually , i 'm on my way out . dorian : oh , come on . surely you can spare a few minutes for me . after all , we have n't seen each other since i got back from puerto rico . blair : oh . without the santi millions , i hear . dorian : that remains to be seen . i have n't really had a chance to talk to david about that yet . blair : what ? you -- you think he found it and did n't tell you ? well , you two do n't trust each other . that 's too bad . dorian : ah . not like you and todd do . blair : yes , we do . ok -- do n't close the door , dorian . i just told you that i was on my way out . i 'm going to have a picnic with my family . todd and the -- dorian : it can wait . blair : no , it ca n't . dorian : blair -- blair : what ? dorian : why are you threatening kelly ? blair : is that what she 's telling you ? dorian : are you going to deny that you 're threatening to tell the secret about her baby , unless she does what you say ? blair : come on ! she 's lying that ace is todd 's son ! and he 's not , dorian ! anyway , what business is it of yours , anyway ? dorian : because i 'm the one who told her to go through with it . blair : what ? dorian : yes ! i 'm the one who told her not to deny that todd is the father . blair : why ? why in the hell would you do that ? oh , i know why you would do it . because you obviously have always hated kevin and kelly together , and i know that you hate me being with todd ! so this way , you get to kill two marriages with one stone , right ? bo : well , you paid your fine and signed up for driver 's ed , so you 're free to go , kev . you know , getting drunk is not the way to handle things . and revenge is n't , either . kevin : thanks for the advice . antonio : you sure you 're going to be ok with tico here ? carlotta : yeah . i was n't sure at first , but now that i 've met him -- you know , we 've had so many losses in our family between your father and your brother . he seems like a good man , do n't you think ? antonio : i 'm going to find out more -- make sure his story checks out . carlotta : yeah , well , our family could use a couple more good men . and i 'm so glad that you 're one of them . antonio : well , going undercover was just to get inside the santi organization , and to make sure our family was safe . carlotta : and are we safe , antonio ? antonio : i would n't worry about tico , maim . um -- he may just be exactly what he seems to be . carlotta : well , bring him over for dinner . he looks like he could use a home- cooked meal . que flaco . antonio : come on , i 'll walk you to a cab . adriana : did you ever meet our father ? tico : no . adriana : do you ever wonder about him ? tico : no . and you should n't , either . but you know what ? let 's not talk about him ; let 's talk about you , ok ? i 'm sure you have , what , four , five boyfriends lined up ? adriana : oh ! yeah . just one , and i have n't seen him since i 've been gone . a whole week . tico : wow , a whole week ? adriana : yeah . tico : well , he must be someone very special to put a smile like that on your face . adriana : oh , he is . his name is river , and he 's the most incredible boy i have ever known . [ music plays ] river : look , i 'm really sorry . i came down here to be alone , and -- i 'm just going to go to the other side , if that 's ok . shannon : no , you 're not . not till i get some sunscreen on you . i ca n't have you blaming me for looking like a lobster , too . river : uh -- ok . shannon : just sit right here . so , how are things with you and adriana ? what 's going on ? river : nothing . nothing 's going on . shannon : you have n't seen her ? river : no , i have n't . shannon : that sucks . i 'm not cutting her down ; i 'm just telling you how it is . river : yeah , you may be right . it 's just that when i first met that girl , i thought that we would be together forever . after all the stuff we 've been through , you know , fighting everybody who tried to keep us apart , i thought it would last -- shannon : maybe that 's what you needed . river : needed what ? shannon : something to make it interesting between the two of you . river : no , i do n't . shannon : maybe that 's what adriana needed . river : yeah , well , anyway , she 's not cutting me any slack right now . if she really loved me the way she said she would -- you know what ; i have to face the facts -- that we 're probably history . shannon : that girl 's an idiot for leaving you . let me finish getting this on . you know , the first rays can be the most difficult . river : you know , actually -- i can just do this myself , really . it 's no big deal . shannon : you can not do the back yourself . look , if you want to stay here , you can . i 'm going to have to go , anyway . some kids trashed the love center last night , and the cops have to check it out before we can go back . they 're probably done by now . and you 're all protected . river : thank you for that . look , thanks for being a friend through all this , all right ? shannon : you deserve it . no one should treat you like this . i 'm going to go , anyway . you want to be alone . river : wait . maybe i do n't . singer : now you ca n't hurt me anymore you ca n't travel to the places i can bo : yeah , i know how much you and renee enjoyed him , pa . and i 'll -- i 'll bet you little ace is missing his great - grandpa right now . yeah , and i will . i 'll bring matthew by to see you real soon . yes , i promise . ok . kevin : what are you doing here with ace ? is something wrong ? kelly : no , i just -- i have to give my statement about that cochran woman , and i -- i did n't want to leave him alone . kevin : well , i understand that . kelly : you sound like you care . kevin : of course i care . i would n't wish what happened to him on any baby . kelly : he 's not just any baby , kevin . he 's -- he 's our baby . he 's your son . he 's the one that you -- you used to hold when he was crying -- kevin : i -- kelly : and you used to rock to sleep at night . kevin : i did n't mean anything by it , kelly . kelly : you hate him . you ca n't even look at him . kevin : no , i do n't . i do n't hate him . kelly : yeah , you do . you -- you do , because he 's todd 's . i do n't want my son around all that hate . dorian : believe me , blair , the idea of claiming that todd was the father of kelly 's baby had nothing to do with breaking you and todd up . blair : ok . then why did you do it , dorian ? because it is stupid . it 's crazy ! dorian : it is not . blair : it is . dorian : if kevin were to find out the true circumstances of how kelly got that baby , it would n't matter that the child 's mother did n't want it in the first place . he 'd try and take the baby away from her . and kelly would n't have any legal claim . blair : yeah . and i can understand that . but why have todd play daddy ? let her pick somebody else , dorian . dorian : blair , it was todd and kelly who said they had slept together ! blair : yeah -- to cover up why paul was blackmailing her about getting that baby ! and that was a stupid idea , too ! dorian : tell me that even for a fleeting moment , you did n't think that was true . huh ? huh ? blair : no , not even for a -- dorian : i do n't believe you ! blair : no , not for a fleeting moment i did ! dorian : yeah -- kevin believed it , ok ? and then kelly was faced with a choice -- to continue with the pretense , or lose her baby ! blair : dorian , what about me in all this ? what about my children ? what do you think it 's going to do to them if they think that their daddy has had a child with somebody else , huh ? dorian : you do n't want anybody thinking that the man you love slept with your cousin . blair : you 're damn straight i do n't ! dorian : and -- and what 's worse is the way he keeps paying so much attention to her ; the way he goes running whenever she calls ! blair : oh , he does not . dorian : oh , he does so ! and it bothers you , does n't it ? kelly : so , when todd got the -- the cochran woman -- margaret cochran to let him into the house , and , you know , he finally got ace away from her , and he was wonderful . he -- he saved him . he could have been hurt . he -- he could have , you know , gotten into trouble , but he did n't . all he -- all he did was -- was get him -- get him back for us . bo : kelly , we 're all glad that everything turned out ok . and -- kelly : there you go . bo : thank you . that 's all we need . kelly : ok . i 'm really , really glad he was there . i mean , i do n't think kevin would have done what he did . bo : kelly , i do n't want you to ever doubt that kevin cares for little ace , all right ? i know that he would have done everything he possibly could to save that little boy . kelly : yeah -- i do n't think so . you did n't see him out in the hall just now . i did n't know he could be so unfeeling . bo : you know , there 's no father that stops caring about a child just like that , even when he finds out that the child is n't really his . i mean , you have to -- you can trust me .

bo : no , no . you 'd never do that , but when something like that happens , people tend to reach out to family . carlotta : does adriana know that she has a brother ? jessica : antonio thought it would be best to keep it from her for just a little while . carlotta : how did he ever find tico ? dios mio . jessica : actually , i found him . when i found the old santi vault , he was chained up inside . carlotta : what ? jessica : people from the santi family thought that tico would know where your brother had hid his money , and -- carlotta : but i do n't understand . antonio said that the santi organization had fallen apart . jessica : oh -- oh , it is , and it 's because of antonio . carlotta : but then , what does he have to protect tico from ? tico : tia carlotta , i 'm sorry about the way we met . carlotta : oh , no , no , no , no . no te preocupes . jessica : here . why do n't you sit ? carlotta : i 'm sorry . it 's just that when i first saw you , i was so shocked . it was like i was seeing a ghost . you look so much like your father when he was young ; when he was really still my brother . tico : well , i never knew him , and i did n't even know he was el toro santi until they told me who my father was . and it was through jessica back in the hospital in puerto rico that i learned i also had an aunt who had rejected my father . carlotta : no . i did not reject my brother . i rejected the evil in him -- the evil things that he did . he almost broke up aaron 's heart . tico : yeah , you do n't need to explain . it 's ok . but did you know about me ?

blair : come on ! she 's lying that ace is todd 's son ! and he 's not , dorian ! anyway , what business is it of yours , anyway ? dorian : because i 'm the one who told her to go through with it . blair : what ? dorian : yes ! i 'm the one who told her not to deny that todd is the father . blair : why ? why in the hell would you do that ? oh , i know why you would do it . because you obviously have always hated kevin and kelly together , and i know that you hate me being with todd ! so this way , you get to kill two marriages with one stone , right ? bo : well , you paid your fine and signed up for driver 's ed , so you 're free to go , kev . you know , getting drunk is not the way to handle things . and revenge is n't , either . kevin : thanks for the advice . antonio : you sure you 're going to be ok with tico here ? carlotta : yeah . i was n't sure at first , but now that i 've met him -- you know , we 've had so many losses in our family between your father and your brother . he seems like a good man , do n't you think ? antonio : i 'm going to find out more -- make sure his story checks out . carlotta : yeah , well , our family could use a couple more good men . and i 'm so glad that you 're one of them . antonio : well , going undercover was just to get inside the santi organization , and to make sure our family was safe . carlotta : and are we safe , antonio ? antonio : i would n't worry about tico , maim . um -- he may just be exactly what he seems to be . carlotta : well , bring him over for dinner . he looks like he could use a home- cooked meal . que flaco . antonio : come on , i 'll walk you to a cab . adriana : did you ever meet our father ? tico : no . adriana : do you ever wonder about him ? tico : no . and you should n't , either . but you know what ? let 's not talk about him ; let 's talk about you , ok ? i 'm sure you have , what , four , five boyfriends lined up ?

shannon : something to make it interesting between the two of you . river : no , i do n't . shannon : maybe that 's what adriana needed . river : yeah , well , anyway , she 's not cutting me any slack right now . if she really loved me the way she said she would -- you know what ; i have to face the facts -- that we 're probably history . shannon : that girl 's an idiot for leaving you . let me finish getting this on . you know , the first rays can be the most difficult . river : you know , actually -- i can just do this myself , really . it 's no big deal . shannon : you can not do the back yourself . look , if you want to stay here , you can . i 'm going to have to go , anyway . some kids trashed the love center last night , and the cops have to check it out before we can go back . they 're probably done by now . and you 're all protected . river : thank you for that . look , thanks for being a friend through all this , all right ? shannon : you deserve it . no one should treat you like this . i 'm going to go , anyway . you want to be alone . river : wait . maybe i do n't . singer : now you ca n't hurt me anymore you ca n't travel to the places i can bo : yeah , i know how much you and renee enjoyed him , pa . and i 'll -- i 'll bet you little ace is missing his great - grandpa right now . yeah , and i will . i 'll bring matthew by to see you real soon . yes , i promise . ok . kevin : what are you doing here with ace ?

because it is stupid . it 's crazy ! dorian : it is not . blair : it is . dorian : if kevin were to find out the true circumstances of how kelly got that baby , it would n't matter that the child 's mother did n't want it in the first place . he 'd try and take the baby away from her . and kelly would n't have any legal claim . blair : yeah . and i can understand that . but why have todd play daddy ?
