( laughs ) i 'm sorry . cane : if it 's a solicitor selling magazines , we do n't want any , okay ? lily : hi , christine . chris : hi . lily , how are you ? lily : good . i did n't know that you were in town . chris : yeah . i know i have n't been back in a while . uh , can i come in ? lily : yeah , i mean , of course , yes . chris : thank you . hello , cane . cane : how are you , chris ? chris : good . lily : ( chuckles ) uh , would you like some coffee , or -- chris : no , no , thank you . lily : okay . so wh - what are you doing here in genoa city ? chris : work , unfortunately . um , that 's really why i 'm here , cane , to talk to you . cane : um , what do you want to talk to me about ? chris : the department of justice is conducting an investigation of your mother and any illegal activities she may be involved in . [ scene_break ] nick : i came by to see dad . connie told me he was n't coming in this morning , so i assumed he was working at home . sharon : oh , um ... he got called into a meeting . nick : hmm . well , i dropped off some papers on the new cosmetics line . i was hoping he 'd take a look at 'em . did he mention anything about that to you ? sharon : no . uh , we did n't talk about business . nick : oh , here they are . looks like he made some notes . interesting . okay , we 'll go over this when you come into the office . sharon : oh , actually , i - i 'm not coming in today . victor told me to take the day off . nick : okay , then i 'll see you when i see you . sharon : nick , wait . do n't leave like this . [ scene_break ] lily : i thought the s.e.c . was investigating genevieve . chris : they were . cane : and now it 's gone beyond that ? chris : yes . lily : well , cane told the agents that he does n't know anything about his mother 's activities . chris : the s.e.c . was looking into the legality of the business transaction . we 're more interested in the events that took place prior to the purchase of beauty of nature . cane : and you want to know how my father made his money and if my mother had anything to do with that . is that what it is ? chris : and what you know about both . cane : well , lily already told you i do n't know anything . chris : cane ... ( sighs ) i do n't like doing this any more than you do , but we have to talk . it can be down at the federal building or it can be here , but not cooperating is n't an option . [ scene_break ] victor : so any idea why the justice department got involved in investigating genevieve ? avery : they 're probably still burning because they did n't nail her husband . victor : wow . so we have gone from possibly genevieve losing all of her money to her potentially going to prison for a long time . avery : you do n't seem broken up about either prospect . victor : one less obstacle in retaining beauty of nature . now all we have left to do is to make sure that adam 's sale is invalidated . ( footsteps approach ) genevieve : victor . sorry to interrupt your meeting , but , uh , we have some urgent business to discuss . victor : do we , now ? all right . what do you have to say ? [ scene_break ] nikki : it is tea . jack : uh , listen . if you do n't want to tell anyone about our engagement , that 's fine . nikki : i do n't want you to think that i 'm getting cold feet , because i am not . jack : you said you love me . you said you want to marry me . nikki : i do , and i do . jack : then we will keep it to ourselves . maybe better anyway , considering kyle . nikki : well , you know , just being together is one thing , but i do n't know that he 's ready to hear that we 're getting married . jack : he will come around . i promise . in the meantime , this could be fun . you know , secret rendezvous with my fiancée . nikki : mm , yes . nothing like a few clandestine encounters to spice things up . jack : ooh . let this be the first . nikki : mm . ( aristocratic accent ) but no , someone might catch us ! we can not ! jack : ( aristocratic accent ) oh , i do n't care . i have to have you now . nikki : ( laughs ) ( cell phone rings ) nikki : ( normal voice ) damn it ! jack : ( normal voice ) this is jack . nikki : ( sighs ) jack : are you sure ? e - mail me the details and stay in touch with me , okay ? good . nikki : wow . good news ? jack : the best news i have had in years . [ scene_break ] lily : i think you should get a lawyer . cane : ( sighs ) chris : either way , we 're gon na have to do this . cane : can i have a minute ? chris : sure . cane : baby , let 's , uh , let 's go outside for a second . come here . lily : ( sighs ) i do n't like this . i really do n't . cane : i do n't like this , either , but i 'm thinking , if i go along with her , i 'll find out how far they want to take this , you know ? and i 'll find out what she wants from me . lily : well , she 's acting like you 're one of the bad guys . cane : well , i have to prove to her i 'm not one of the ad guys . lily : cane , that 's not gon na be easy . she obviously thinks that you have information . otherwise , she would n't be here . cane : ( sighs ) what can i say ? my parents do n't trust me , so they did n't say anything incriminating in front of me , so there 's nothing i can really even say to her . lily : yeah , but chris -- christine could pick up on your suspicions . cane : well , if it gets funky , i 'll stop the interview , okay ? lily : ( sighs ) okay . fine . i guess i 'll ... get some coffee , even though that french roast smells amazing . cane : i 'll put on another pot for you when you get back . it 's gon na be okay . lily : ( chuckles ) okay . ( sighs ) cane : ( groans ) ( inhales deeply ) ( exhales quickly ) chris : you ready ? cane : i have a question first . you 're not just investigating my mother , are you ? you 're investigating me , as well . chris : yea . [ scene_break ] avery : i 'm gon na see what i can find out about that matter we were discussing . victor : you do that . thank you . avery : mm - hmm . excuse me . victor : have a seat , genevieve . leslie . yeah ? genevieve : victor ... victor : mm - hmm . genevieve : has the department of justice contacted you ? victor : mm , no . why ? leslie : well , apparently , they were alerted to alleged discrepancies in genevieve 's accounting ledgers . victor : are you referring to genevieve 's purchase of beauty of nature ? genevieve : well , since the s.e.c . is investigating that already , we assume so , yes . victor : so what does that have to do with me ? how can i be involved ? genevieve : the justice department could broaden its investigation . they could look into your purchase of beauty of nature and my role at newman enterprises . it -- this could be really bad for both of us . victor : hmm . i do n't see that way . i think this is your problem . genevieve : you assured me ... victor : mm - hmm . genevieve : that if i sold you beauty of nature , that you would protect me and my interests . victor : with the emphasis on interest -- business interests , not your legal problems , which you incurred long before you and made our deal , all right ? so , frankly , i do n't see how my getting involved will serve either of us . genevieve : you want me to go down . you do ! 'cause then , you would have beauty of nature free and clear . you would not have to live up to your obligation to give me a job at newman enterprises . very clever . really clever . sic the s.e.c . on me , knowing full well that it would turn into something much worse . victor : you 're beginning to sound paranoid . genevieve : do you think i 'm gon na let the department of justice take me down ? i went up against colin and i won , and i will beat the feds , too . victor : mm - hmm . you 're on your own . [ scene_break ] jack : ash , call me as soon as you can . i 've got some good news . it might even cheer you up . nikki : i recognize that look . that is your `` i outwitted victor newman `` look . jack : oh , no , this is better . i 'm about to beat everyone -- victor , genevieve , the s.e.c . and guess what first prize is ? nikki : i - i 'm almost afraid to . jack : something i have wanted for so long , and finally , it is gon na be mine . nikki : will you tell me what it is ? jack : beauty of nature . [ scene_break ] nick : ( exhales slowly ) sharon : thanks for waiting . nick : i really need to get to the office . sharon : okay . yeah , i wo n't keep you . i just wanted to let you know that i , um , i fell asleep on the couch , and that 's where i spent the night , alone . nick : well , you do n't have to explain anything to me . sharon : no , i - i know i do n't . i just thought there 's no , you know , point to letting you think something that is n't true . nick : okay . you 're not sleeping with my dad . i got it . sharon : i 'm not . w - we are seeing each other , but w - we 're not -- i mean , we 're -- we 're taking it slow . nick : what happens between you and my dad is between the two of you . sharon : i just thought that you and i could move on with our lives without bitterness and resentment . nick : i want that , too . that 's what i 'm doing with phyllis . we 're building something healthy , happy , and strong , for us and for our kids . sharon : and you 're saying i 'm not ? nick : i think you 're doing what 's best for you . [ scene_break ] genevieve : i should have known when you set me up with that federal agent in japan that i could n't trust you . victor : your son rescued you then . maybe he 'll do it again . genevieve : you 're hoping not . victor : what i know is that everyone should fight their own battles , you know ? genevieve : i think the same thing -- if the playing field is level , and it never is with you . victor : maybe i 'm just better at playing the game . genevieve : we 'll see . victor : good luck to you . genevieve : luck ? no , skill . outwitting your opponent . that 's what it takes to win , not luck . victor : you have a nice day . ( cell phone alert chimes ) leslie : oh , no . ( sighs ) genevieve : what ? more bad news ? leslie : ( sighs ) nothing we need to worry about right now . figuring out how we 're gon na handle the justice department is our top priority . genevieve : any thoughts ? leslie : is there anyone else who 'd be willing to help you , someone who could help refute the claims the feds are making ? genevieve : there 's only one person i can think of . [ scene_break ] avery : i just got some news you 're not gon na like . victor : about the justice department 's investigation ? avery : about jack 's lawsuit against genevieve . victor : what about it ? avery : the judge just made a ruling . i 'm afraid there might be a huge setback in your quest to , uh , retain ownership of beauty of nature and a huge victory for jack . [ scene_break ] jack : bigger than huge . if things go as i hope , this will be a victory of epic proportion . nikki : wow . i have not seen you this happy since ... well , since i accepted your proposal . ( chuckles ) jack : nothing could compare to that , but i 'm telling you , just the thought of taking beauty of nature away from victor and genevieve -- nikki : now why are you suddenly so sure that this is gon na happen ? jack : that was my lawyer on the phone earlier . he was leaving the courthouse . the judge was ruling on a motion that genevieve filed to have my lawsuit dismissed , because she felt it was groundless . nikki : but the judge denied her request ? jack : the judge ruled in my favor . she also declared that adam 's sale of beauty of nature was totally legal , which means i can move ahead with my lawsuit , which is totally winnable -- more than winnable . i ca n't lose this . nikki : well , you are confident . jack : honey , this will give me a chance to sit in front of a jury and tell them what genevieve is really about -- how she pretended to love me , how she got me to open up about my deepest feelings , and then used that closeness to find out what my bid for beauty of nature was gon na be . now once they hear from me , they will have no choice but to void that sale and award the company to me . nikki : it still hurts does n't it , what she did to you ? jack : no , this is -- this is business . i should have had that company a long time ago . now it 'll be mine . nikki : well , personally , i thought this lawsuit would take years , so i am thrilled . i - i hope it -- it works out exactly the way you want it to . jack : yeah , you do seem happy for me , but you also seem a little troubled by it . nikki : i was just wondering , um , who else knows about the judge 's ruling ? jack : i have no idea . it just came down . why do you ask ? nikki : i do n't know . i 'm just curious . jack : you 're worried about how victor 's gon na react . nikki : well , yes , i am . [ scene_break ] nick : what you do with your life is no longer any of my business , sharon . i 'm not interested in how you feel about my marrying phyllis or that we 're having another baby , with one exception -- how that affects noah and faith . sharon : ( scoffs ) you think i have n't considered how my seeing victor will affect the children ? nick : i think if you had , you would n't be getting involved with him . sharon : ( scoffs ) nick , we 've already been through this . victor is a good man , and i 'm not embarrassed or ashamed to be with him . nick : he 's my dad , he 's your ex - father - in - law , and he 's your children 's grandfather . you really do n't think a relationship with him is going to affect our kids ? sharon : of course , i do . that 's why victor and i spent a lot of time talking about it last night . we know that this is going to be very difficult on the children . nick : yet that 's not enough to stop you two from being together . sharon : i will help noah and faith navigate through a complex situation . nick : oh , it 's complex ? sharon : nick , life 's messy . i want my kids to know that and be able to deal with it , not live in some fairy - tale land where they ca n't even face reality . nick : that sounds good , in theory . have you spoken to noah ? sharon : no . nick : he 's gon na hear about you and dad . sharon : there 's nothing to hear . i told you , victor and i are taking it slow nick : you 're out in public together . noah 's gon na read about this on some web site or hear about it from abby or kyle . maybe you 're the one who 's living in a fairy tale . [ scene_break ] avery : i sent a junior staffer looking for jack 's lawsuit against genevieve . now judge shaughnessy made a number of critical rulings , most of them in jack 's favor . victor : how does that impact newman enterprises specifically ? avery : not favorably . first of all , she denied genevieve 's request to have the lawsuit thrown out . next , she declared the original sale of beauty of nature as being legal and valid . victor : so if jack can prove that genevieve 's bid was made fraudulently -- avery : which is likely , then beauty of nature would go to the next - highest bidder , and that 's jack . victor : that ca n't happen . avery : okay , look . right now , you own the company , and if genevieve could get out of this legal mess that she 's in , it would stay that way . victor : then let 's help her get out of her legal trouble . avery : well , you 're talking about winning a lawsuit and making the s.e.c . and the justice department allegations just go away . victor : mm - hmm . avery : i do n't know if that 's possible . victor : you make it possible , okay ? i do n't care what it takes . jack abbott ai n't gon na win this . [ scene_break ] nikki : are you upset with me ? jack : i love you . i believe you when you say you love me . nikki : you know that i do . jack : then what 's to be upset about ? nikki : you 're really not worried at all , are you ? you 're not threatened over my concern for victor . jack : one day soon , you will be my wife . that means you will wake up in my bed , in my arms , every day . soon , you wo n't even think of victor , and once i have beauty of nature , i wo n't , either . nikki : yeah , well , do n't kid yourself . you and victor will always have something to battle over . jack : once this lawsuit is over and you and i are married , there will be nothing to fight about . i 'll have everything i want , and victor newman will be nothing but a bad memory ... for both of us . [ scene_break ] lily : maximum sentence for money laundering is 14 years . drug trafficking is not less than five years , not more than 40 years . obstruction of justice is 25 . ( sighs ) cane , god ... [ scene_break ] cane : so why are you really here ? chris : to warn you . cane : because of the sins of my father ? chris : ( scoffs ) the mother this time . cane : last year , i risked my family to help the fbi bust my dad and make sure he gets arrested , deported , and imprisoned , and now you 're gon na come here and you 're gon na talk to me like i 'm a criminal . chris : your father 's in prison , but the millions he made illegally have never been recovered . cane : your mates at the s.e.c . think that my mother used that money to buy beauty of nature . now i told them i do n't know anything about that . chris : well , my coworkers at the department of justice are n't nearly as easygoing as their s.e.c . counterparts . they believe that genevieve was as involved in your father 's operation as he was , and she should pay the same price . cane : so you want to put my mother in prison ? chris : they 'll have no reservations about taking you down to get to her ... cane : i have n't done anything . chris : and they can put a spin on any situation . cane : oh , really ? and what does that mean ? chris : they want you to help them , and they will do whatever they have to convince you to do that .

[ scene_break ] genevieve : that was strange . leslie : what ? genevieve : for ethan to have brought up samantha not liking the rain , 'cause she thought it brought bad luck . he hardly ever talks about her , and for him to say that ... he 's trying to tell me something . leslie : what else did he say ? genevieve : um , he said that he was with someone . leslie : maybe the feds got to him already . genevieve : he would n't turn against me . leslie : you have to start thinking realistically . genevieve : no , you have to figure out a way to get me out of this mess , leslie . that is your job . now you call vance and figure something out . leslie : ( sighs ) all right , i will call you if i come up with something . genevieve : when you come up with something .

( laughs ) i 'm sorry . cane : if it 's a solicitor selling magazines , we do n't want any , okay ? lily : hi , christine . chris : hi . lily , how are you ? lily : good . i did n't know that you were in town . chris : yeah . i know i have n't been back in a while . uh , can i come in ? lily : yeah , i mean , of course , yes . chris : thank you . hello , cane . cane : how are you , chris ? chris : good . lily : ( chuckles ) uh , would you like some coffee , or -- chris : no , no , thank you . lily : okay . so wh - what are you doing here in genoa city ? chris : work , unfortunately . um , that 's really why i 'm here , cane , to talk to you . cane : um , what do you want to talk to me about ? chris : the department of justice is conducting an investigation of your mother and any illegal activities she may be involved in . [ scene_break ] nick : i came by to see dad . connie told me he was n't coming in this morning , so i assumed he was working at home . sharon : oh , um ... he got called into a meeting . nick : hmm . well , i dropped off some papers on the new cosmetics line . i was hoping he 'd take a look at 'em . did he mention anything about that to you ? sharon : no . uh , we did n't talk about business . nick : oh , here they are . looks like he made some notes . interesting . okay , we 'll go over this when you come into the office . sharon : oh , actually , i - i 'm not coming in today . victor told me to take the day off . nick : okay , then i 'll see you when i see you . sharon : nick , wait . do n't leave like this . [ scene_break ] lily : i thought the s.e.c . was investigating genevieve . chris : they were . cane : and now it 's gone beyond that ? chris : yes . lily : well , cane told the agents that he does n't know anything about his mother 's activities . chris : the s.e.c . was looking into the legality of the business transaction . we 're more interested in the events that took place prior to the purchase of beauty of nature . cane : and you want to know how my father made his money and if my mother had anything to do with that . is that what it is ? chris : and what you know about both . cane : well , lily already told you i do n't know anything . chris : cane ... ( sighs ) i do n't like doing this any more than you do , but we have to talk . it can be down at the federal building or it can be here , but not cooperating is n't an option . [ scene_break ] victor : so any idea why the justice department got involved in investigating genevieve ? avery : they 're probably still burning because they did n't nail her husband . victor : wow . so we have gone from possibly genevieve losing all of her money to her potentially going to prison for a long time . avery : you do n't seem broken up about either prospect . victor : one less obstacle in retaining beauty of nature . now all we have left to do is to make sure that adam 's sale is invalidated . ( footsteps approach ) genevieve : victor . sorry to interrupt your meeting , but , uh , we have some urgent business to discuss . victor : do we , now ? all right . what do you have to say ? [ scene_break ] nikki : it is tea . jack : uh , listen . if you do n't want to tell anyone about our engagement , that 's fine . nikki : i do n't want you to think that i 'm getting cold feet , because i am not . jack : you said you love me . you said you want to marry me . nikki : i do , and i do . jack : then we will keep it to ourselves . maybe better anyway , considering kyle . nikki : well , you know , just being together is one thing , but i do n't know that he 's ready to hear that we 're getting married . jack : he will come around . i promise . in the meantime , this could be fun . you know , secret rendezvous with my fiancée . nikki : mm , yes . nothing like a few clandestine encounters to spice things up . jack : ooh . let this be the first . nikki : mm . ( aristocratic accent ) but no , someone might catch us ! we can not ! jack : ( aristocratic accent ) oh , i do n't care . i have to have you now . nikki : ( laughs ) ( cell phone rings ) nikki : ( normal voice ) damn it ! jack : ( normal voice ) this is jack . nikki : ( sighs ) jack : are you sure ? e - mail me the details and stay in touch with me , okay ? good . nikki : wow . good news ? jack : the best news i have had in years . [ scene_break ] lily : i think you should get a lawyer . cane : ( sighs ) chris : either way , we 're gon na have to do this . cane : can i have a minute ? chris : sure . cane : baby , let 's , uh , let 's go outside for a second . come here . lily : ( sighs ) i do n't like this . i really do n't . cane : i do n't like this , either , but i 'm thinking , if i go along with her , i 'll find out how far they want to take this , you know ? and i 'll find out what she wants from me . lily : well , she 's acting like you 're one of the bad guys . cane : well , i have to prove to her i 'm not one of the ad guys . lily : cane , that 's not gon na be easy . she obviously thinks that you have information . otherwise , she would n't be here . cane : ( sighs ) what can i say ? my parents do n't trust me , so they did n't say anything incriminating in front of me , so there 's nothing i can really even say to her . lily : yeah , but chris -- christine could pick up on your suspicions . cane : well , if it gets funky , i 'll stop the interview , okay ? lily : ( sighs ) okay . fine . i guess i 'll ... get some coffee , even though that french roast smells amazing . cane : i 'll put on another pot for you when you get back . it 's gon na be okay . lily : ( chuckles ) okay . ( sighs ) cane : ( groans ) ( inhales deeply ) ( exhales quickly ) chris : you ready ? cane : i have a question first . you 're not just investigating my mother , are you ? you 're investigating me , as well . chris : yea . [ scene_break ] avery : i 'm gon na see what i can find out about that matter we were discussing . victor : you do that . thank you . avery : mm - hmm . excuse me . victor : have a seat , genevieve . leslie . yeah ? genevieve : victor ... victor : mm - hmm . genevieve : has the department of justice contacted you ? victor : mm , no . why ? leslie : well , apparently , they were alerted to alleged discrepancies in genevieve 's accounting ledgers . victor : are you referring to genevieve 's purchase of beauty of nature ? genevieve : well , since the s.e.c . is investigating that already , we assume so , yes . victor : so what does that have to do with me ? how can i be involved ? genevieve : the justice department could broaden its investigation . they could look into your purchase of beauty of nature and my role at newman enterprises . it -- this could be really bad for both of us . victor : hmm . i do n't see that way . i think this is your problem . genevieve : you assured me ... victor : mm - hmm . genevieve : that if i sold you beauty of nature , that you would protect me and my interests . victor : with the emphasis on interest -- business interests , not your legal problems , which you incurred long before you and made our deal , all right ? so , frankly , i do n't see how my getting involved will serve either of us . genevieve : you want me to go down . you do ! 'cause then , you would have beauty of nature free and clear . you would not have to live up to your obligation to give me a job at newman enterprises . very clever . really clever . sic the s.e.c . on me , knowing full well that it would turn into something much worse . victor : you 're beginning to sound paranoid . genevieve : do you think i 'm gon na let the department of justice take me down ? i went up against colin and i won , and i will beat the feds , too . victor : mm - hmm . you 're on your own . [ scene_break ] jack : ash , call me as soon as you can . i 've got some good news . it might even cheer you up . nikki : i recognize that look . that is your `` i outwitted victor newman `` look . jack : oh , no , this is better . i 'm about to beat everyone -- victor , genevieve , the s.e.c . and guess what first prize is ? nikki : i - i 'm almost afraid to . jack : something i have wanted for so long , and finally , it is gon na be mine . nikki : will you tell me what it is ? jack : beauty of nature . [ scene_break ] nick : ( exhales slowly ) sharon : thanks for waiting . nick : i really need to get to the office . sharon : okay . yeah , i wo n't keep you . i just wanted to let you know that i , um , i fell asleep on the couch , and that 's where i spent the night , alone . nick : well , you do n't have to explain anything to me . sharon : no , i - i know i do n't . i just thought there 's no , you know , point to letting you think something that is n't true . nick : okay . you 're not sleeping with my dad . i got it . sharon : i 'm not . w - we are seeing each other , but w - we 're not -- i mean , we 're -- we 're taking it slow . nick : what happens between you and my dad is between the two of you . sharon : i just thought that you and i could move on with our lives without bitterness and resentment . nick : i want that , too . that 's what i 'm doing with phyllis . we 're building something healthy , happy , and strong , for us and for our kids . sharon : and you 're saying i 'm not ? nick : i think you 're doing what 's best for you . [ scene_break ] genevieve : i should have known when you set me up with that federal agent in japan that i could n't trust you . victor : your son rescued you then . maybe he 'll do it again . genevieve : you 're hoping not . victor : what i know is that everyone should fight their own battles , you know ? genevieve : i think the same thing -- if the playing field is level , and it never is with you . victor : maybe i 'm just better at playing the game . genevieve : we 'll see . victor : good luck to you . genevieve : luck ? no , skill . outwitting your opponent . that 's what it takes to win , not luck . victor : you have a nice day . ( cell phone alert chimes ) leslie : oh , no . ( sighs ) genevieve : what ? more bad news ? leslie : ( sighs ) nothing we need to worry about right now . figuring out how we 're gon na handle the justice department is our top priority . genevieve : any thoughts ? leslie : is there anyone else who 'd be willing to help you , someone who could help refute the claims the feds are making ? genevieve : there 's only one person i can think of . [ scene_break ] avery : i just got some news you 're not gon na like . victor : about the justice department 's investigation ? avery : about jack 's lawsuit against genevieve . victor : what about it ? avery : the judge just made a ruling . i 'm afraid there might be a huge setback in your quest to , uh , retain ownership of beauty of nature and a huge victory for jack . [ scene_break ] jack : bigger than huge . if things go as i hope , this will be a victory of epic proportion . nikki : wow . i have not seen you this happy since ... well , since i accepted your proposal . ( chuckles ) jack : nothing could compare to that , but i 'm telling you , just the thought of taking beauty of nature away from victor and genevieve -- nikki : now why are you suddenly so sure that this is gon na happen ? jack : that was my lawyer on the phone earlier . he was leaving the courthouse . the judge was ruling on a motion that genevieve filed to have my lawsuit dismissed , because she felt it was groundless . nikki : but the judge denied her request ? jack : the judge ruled in my favor . she also declared that adam 's sale of beauty of nature was totally legal , which means i can move ahead with my lawsuit , which is totally winnable -- more than winnable . i ca n't lose this . nikki : well , you are confident . jack : honey , this will give me a chance to sit in front of a jury and tell them what genevieve is really about -- how she pretended to love me , how she got me to open up about my deepest feelings , and then used that closeness to find out what my bid for beauty of nature was gon na be . now once they hear from me , they will have no choice but to void that sale and award the company to me . nikki : it still hurts does n't it , what she did to you ? jack : no , this is -- this is business . i should have had that company a long time ago . now it 'll be mine . nikki : well , personally , i thought this lawsuit would take years , so i am thrilled . i - i hope it -- it works out exactly the way you want it to . jack : yeah , you do seem happy for me , but you also seem a little troubled by it . nikki : i was just wondering , um , who else knows about the judge 's ruling ? jack : i have no idea . it just came down . why do you ask ? nikki : i do n't know . i 'm just curious . jack : you 're worried about how victor 's gon na react . nikki : well , yes , i am . [ scene_break ] nick : what you do with your life is no longer any of my business , sharon . i 'm not interested in how you feel about my marrying phyllis or that we 're having another baby , with one exception -- how that affects noah and faith . sharon : ( scoffs ) you think i have n't considered how my seeing victor will affect the children ? nick : i think if you had , you would n't be getting involved with him . sharon : ( scoffs ) nick , we 've already been through this . victor is a good man , and i 'm not embarrassed or ashamed to be with him . nick : he 's my dad , he 's your ex - father - in - law , and he 's your children 's grandfather . you really do n't think a relationship with him is going to affect our kids ? sharon : of course , i do . that 's why victor and i spent a lot of time talking about it last night . we know that this is going to be very difficult on the children . nick : yet that 's not enough to stop you two from being together . sharon : i will help noah and faith navigate through a complex situation . nick : oh , it 's complex ? sharon : nick , life 's messy . i want my kids to know that and be able to deal with it , not live in some fairy - tale land where they ca n't even face reality . nick : that sounds good , in theory . have you spoken to noah ? sharon : no . nick : he 's gon na hear about you and dad . sharon : there 's nothing to hear . i told you , victor and i are taking it slow nick : you 're out in public together . noah 's gon na read about this on some web site or hear about it from abby or kyle . maybe you 're the one who 's living in a fairy tale . [ scene_break ] avery : i sent a junior staffer looking for jack 's lawsuit against genevieve . now judge shaughnessy made a number of critical rulings , most of them in jack 's favor . victor : how does that impact newman enterprises specifically ? avery : not favorably . first of all , she denied genevieve 's request to have the lawsuit thrown out . next , she declared the original sale of beauty of nature as being legal and valid . victor : so if jack can prove that genevieve 's bid was made fraudulently -- avery : which is likely , then beauty of nature would go to the next - highest bidder , and that 's jack . victor : that ca n't happen . avery : okay , look . right now , you own the company , and if genevieve could get out of this legal mess that she 's in , it would stay that way . victor : then let 's help her get out of her legal trouble . avery : well , you 're talking about winning a lawsuit and making the s.e.c . and the justice department allegations just go away . victor : mm - hmm . avery : i do n't know if that 's possible . victor : you make it possible , okay ? i do n't care what it takes . jack abbott ai n't gon na win this . [ scene_break ] nikki : are you upset with me ? jack : i love you . i believe you when you say you love me . nikki : you know that i do . jack : then what 's to be upset about ? nikki : you 're really not worried at all , are you ? you 're not threatened over my concern for victor . jack : one day soon , you will be my wife . that means you will wake up in my bed , in my arms , every day . soon , you wo n't even think of victor , and once i have beauty of nature , i wo n't , either . nikki : yeah , well , do n't kid yourself . you and victor will always have something to battle over . jack : once this lawsuit is over and you and i are married , there will be nothing to fight about . i 'll have everything i want , and victor newman will be nothing but a bad memory ... for both of us . [ scene_break ] lily : maximum sentence for money laundering is 14 years . drug trafficking is not less than five years , not more than 40 years . obstruction of justice is 25 . ( sighs ) cane , god ... [ scene_break ] cane : so why are you really here ? chris : to warn you . cane : because of the sins of my father ? chris : ( scoffs ) the mother this time . cane : last year , i risked my family to help the fbi bust my dad and make sure he gets arrested , deported , and imprisoned , and now you 're gon na come here and you 're gon na talk to me like i 'm a criminal . chris : your father 's in prison , but the millions he made illegally have never been recovered . cane : your mates at the s.e.c . think that my mother used that money to buy beauty of nature . now i told them i do n't know anything about that . chris : well , my coworkers at the department of justice are n't nearly as easygoing as their s.e.c . counterparts . they believe that genevieve was as involved in your father 's operation as he was , and she should pay the same price . cane : so you want to put my mother in prison ? chris : they 'll have no reservations about taking you down to get to her ... cane : i have n't done anything . chris : and they can put a spin on any situation . cane : oh , really ? and what does that mean ? chris : they want you to help them , and they will do whatever they have to convince you to do that . ( cell phone rings ) ( ring ) cane : ( sighs ) chris : it 's her ? cane , do n't do -- cane , do n't . cane : hello , mom . genevieve : ethan . we need to talk . cane : yeah , we do , do n't we ? you know , it 's funny , uh , you called , 'cause you were just on my mind . genevieve : well , i 'm glad , because i really do need to see you . cane : well , unfortunately , i 'm with someone right now , so , uh , how about we meet later , um , in the park , maybe genevieve : i was thinking something a little bit more private . cane : well , it 's such a beautiful day , so let 's take advantage of that , 'cause you never know when it 's going to rain this time of year , and you know what samantha said . genevieve : that rain brought bad luck ? cane : that 's right , and we want to avoid that at all costs , do n't we ? so i 'll see you in the park . i 'll call you . genevieve : sure . [ scene_break ] genevieve : that was strange . leslie : what ? genevieve : for ethan to have brought up samantha not liking the rain , 'cause she thought it brought bad luck . he hardly ever talks about her , and for him to say that ... he 's trying to tell me something . leslie : what else did he say ? genevieve : um , he said that he was with someone . leslie : maybe the feds got to him already . genevieve : he would n't turn against me . leslie : you have to start thinking realistically . genevieve : no , you have to figure out a way to get me out of this mess , leslie . that is your job . now you call vance and figure something out . leslie : ( sighs ) all right , i will call you if i come up with something . genevieve : when you come up with something . [ scene_break ] chris : you are making a terrible mistake , cane . cane : well , i appreciate the warning , but we 're done . chris : no , we 're not , not until you understand what can happen to you and your family if you do n't cooperate .

( chuckles ) yeah , just , uh , family problems . jack : genevieve . lily : you know about it ? jack : my lawyer called . lily : right . well , i 'm sure everyone will know soon enough . jack : she 's going down , lily . she brought this on herself . lily : i know . i ... i know , i just -- i do n't want her to take cane down with her , you know ? [ scene_break ] avery : how angry was genevieve when she left ? victor : she 's not usually someone to let you know that . avery : what recourse does she have , in terms of people that would want to help her ? victor : there 's jack , and then there 's her son . avery : well , she 's not on good terms with any of them . victor : well , but , you know , she 's kind of ... persuasive and can be seductive , so usually , she gets what she wants . avery : so do i . victor : that 's why i hired you . avery : well , i 've got our legal team working on the justice department and jack 's lawsuit . victor : mm - hmm . avery : now it 's time for me to work my magic on mrs. atkinson . victor : all right , avery , you keep me posted . avery : i will . nikki : hello , victor . victor : i 'm busy . nikki : yes , i 'm sure you are , but i have some news , and i think its best you heard it from me . victor : i do n't give a damn about your news . you 're gon na marry jack abbott , are n't you ?

[ scene_break ] jack : wait , why would genevieve 's problems affect cane ? lily : well , christine blair came by our place this morning and wanted to talk to cane ab -- you know , never mind . it ... ( chuckles ) jack : lily , i ... justice department ? sentencing guidelines ? is genevieve being investigated by the justice department ? [ scene_break ] genevieve : i want it made clear that the allegations made against me by the s.e.c . and the justice department are baseless , and i want to read that report before it goes out . today . good . thanks . genevieve : ms. clark . avery : i was told i 'd find you here . genevieve : did victor send you ? avery : i 'm here on his behalf . genevieve : that 's funny , because he just told m that we had nothing further to discuss . avery : well , things have changed .

this -- this michael , he took morgan home ? kiki : no , his father did . ava : oh . well , you know what ? i 'm relieved , actually . i told morgan to have his parents help him . he was adamant about them not being involved . kiki : yeah , well , it was n't exactly morgan 's choice , okay ? his dad practically dragged him out by the ear . sonny : here he is -- the prodigal son . carly : you 're okay ? morgan : uh , yeah , i was . watch the ribs . carly : i ca n't believe what those animals did to you . morgan : mom , can you stop ? i 'm fine , seriously . carly : are you sure ? morgan : yeah . never better . carly : positive ? 100 % ? morgan : do n't i look it ? carly : yes . and now that i know you 're gon na live , i 'm gon na kill you myself . guard : you have one hour . heather : so ... todd look - alike : so ... heather : it 's you . todd look - alike : it 's me . heather : long time no see . i was living with pain -- all over . carly : do you have any idea how worried we were -- how absolutely terrified ? morgan : i 'm sorry . carly : no . sorry does n't cut it . i mean , seriously , i do n't even know where to begin with you . sonny : you can start with the gambling . carly : that gambling . yes , thank you ! the gambling . huge -- huge amounts of money ! what were you thinking ? then you take off for new york city , all without even letting your parents know ? i mean , my god -- when i think about what could have happened to you ... morgan : oh , mom , come on . stop . carly : stop ? i 'm not gon na stop . things happen , morgan . terrible things happen . events spiral out of control , and lives are changed . do n't tell me to stop . and let me tell you something . the second -- the second -- you knew you were in trouble , you should have called us . morgan : i know ! carly : your father and i would have helped you . then why did n't you ? ! morgan : because i just wanted to handle it on my own . sonny : in case you had n't noticed , i just bailed you out . morgan : yeah , okay . and you did n't have to because i was working on a plan . michael : your plan was toast , morgan . if dad did n't show up , you could have been killed , along with your mastermind girlfriend . ava : can you really blame the man for being upset ? kiki : i would not call it upset . i do n't even know how to describe it , okay ? he was ... he was very quiet and very calm but very terrifying . i can see why morgan did n't want him to get involved . this is not a parent that you would want to get in trouble with . ava : well ... better his dad than those debt collectors . kiki : just leave it to my boyfriend to get dragged off by his dad all the way home . and he lives in port charles . ava : port charles , new york ? heather : i had no idea you were back in town . todd look - alike : surprise . heather : something about you looks different . todd look - alike : you think ? heather : mm . [ laughing ] heather : not sure what it is . but it suits you . todd look - alike : thank you . whatever you 're doing suits you . you look great . heather : thanks . todd look - alike : well - rested . heather : i 've been keeping busy . doing a lot of reading , perfecting my macramé skills . todd look - alike : ah . heather : getting in touch with my inner child . but i 'm sure you did n't come here to exchange pleasantries . todd look - alike : no . heather : so ... why the visit , after all this time ? todd look - alike : we need to talk about samantha morgan . sam : this is not like you , spinelli . giving up ? it 's not too late to find the real lauren . spinelli : i respectfully disagree . luke revealed that he 'd already located the long - lost quartermaine . in fact , it 's safe to say he was quite openly gloating . so , as far as i know , the missing heir is now on team tracy already , and tracy has all the votes she needs to regain control of elq ... sam : spinelli ! spinelli : and aj and michael will be ousted immediately , and all of the above will be my fault . [ breathes deeply ] luke : why all the ruckus ? it is n't like we have n't kissed before . we used to be married . our connubial bliss was flying in every direction . tracy : `` used to , `` as in `` not anymore and not in a long time . `` luke : it has n't been that long , has it ? tracy : yeah , it has . and , by the way , have you forgotten what it took for us to become friends , or at least the closest approximation of friendship you and i are capable of ? luke : well , it has been a bumpy ride . tracy : so do n't throw in a pothole now ! luke : okay . tracy : repeat after me -- `` there will be no casual kissing between us `` -- not that that kiss felt casual in the slightest . luke : i 'm sorry , but you are making way too much out of this . tracy : okay . so , if that kiss was not a distraction from our conversation about drinking , what was it ? luke ! luke : laura 's getting married . lesley : are you ready ? laura : yes . lesley : laura , do you now commit to love , honor , and respect scott , to be a support to him in times of sickness and health as long as you both shall live ? laura : i do . [ giggling ] lesley : and do you , scotty , commit to love , honor , and respect my daughter ... to be a support to her in times of sickness and health as long as you both shall live ? scott : i most certainly do . lesley : well , i guess there 's nothing left then but to say i now pronounce you husband and wife . laura : we did it . scott : we did . laura : [ laughing ] elizabeth : aww . yay ! [ applause ] elizabeth : good job , guys . laura : thank you . cameron : that was such a good smooch . scott : oh , thank you . lesley : i now pronounce you husband and wife . dante : tell me what happened . did you remember something about our wedding ? lulu : no . i 'm sorry . okay ? i do n't -- i do n't remember anything . i need to go congratulate ... the happy couple . that was beautiful . laura : thank you . scott : it means a lot . lulu : i 'm sorry . laura : for what ? lulu : that i do n't remember , that i ca n't bring our history to your ceremony . i could see from your smile that you were really happy , and i 'm really happy for you . laura : yes . lulu : and i am glad that i came . laura : oh , sweetie , i am , too . are -- are you sure you 're okay ? lulu : yeah , i 'm fine . the last thing you need to be doing right now is worrying about me . laura : well , you have to get used to that when that 's what mothers do . lesley : she 's right . laura : [ chuckles ] lulu : i 'm just a little overwhelmed . laura : okay . lulu : if i could , um ... if it would n't be rude , i would like to -- laura : you want to get going ? lulu : yeah . laura : go . lulu : really ? laura : oh , absolutely . we completely understand , do n't we ? scott : yes , that 's what families do . laura : i love you , lulu . lulu : congratulations , again . tracy : laura 's getting married today , so you kissed me because you ca n't have her ! luke : no , no , that 's not -- i do n't care if laura 's getting married . tracy : really ? luke : look , what we had is over , and you know it . it 's been over for a long time . tracy : forgive me if i do n't believe a word of what you 're saying . luke : why ? tracy : oh , i do n't know . maybe because when i asked you what was behind that kiss , you blurted out , `` laura 's getting married . `` kind of tipped me off . luke : well , i was n't thinking about laura . i was thinking about baldwin and something that he said to me earlier . tracy : really ? did the two of you have a moment ? luke : well , if that 's what you want to call him chasing me down to make sure i do n't crash his wedding . tracy : and what did he say , luke ? luke : i do n't know . something about he and laura being all safe and warm and me being alone in the end , miserable . [ chuckles ] i believe the words `` doddering old coot `` were used . tracy : and what do you care about being alone , luke ? all the better to vanish on a moment 's notice . luke : well ... you know , once that 's over , it would be nice to have someone to come back to , someone to share the rest of it with . tracy : what do you want from me , luke ? luke : i want ... i want you to be ... my home fires burning in the distance , i guess . i want you to be my true north . that 's what i want . carly : girlfriend ? okay , so this is the person you met online ? she 's a girl ? she 's not some catfish ? morgan : no , she 's not some catfish , okay ? or some shady old perv . she 's a girl , and i like her a lot , and all she wanted to do was help me get out of trouble . sonny : you 're making a lot of assumptions there , morgan . carly : did you meet this girl ? sonny : yeah , yeah . her name is kiki . carly : kiki ? sonny : it 's a nickname for katherine . her last name is jerome . carly : well , that explains the stupid screen name `` jerome around the world . `` sonny : but it could be more than that . morgan : no . no , dad . we already talked about it . carly : stop . what do you mean it could be more than that ? sonny : okay . the jeromes were a very powerful family back in the ' 80s . they controlled most of port charles . carly : is this girl one of them ? morgan : no ! absolutely not . michael : how can you be sure ? just because she did n't tell you does not mean she 's not tied to a mob family . morgan : can you stay out of this , michael ? carly : hey ! why do n't you try thanking your brother ? 'cause he put his life on hold to come chasing after you . morgan : okay , yeah . oh , thank you , mikey , so much for providing me with assistance that i did n't want or need . oh , and wait , wait , wait . what did i drag you away from that was so important , anyway ? michael : just looking for the long - lost quartermaine heir . kiki : yeah , he 's from port charles , new york . why ? have you heard of it ? luke : i 'll make it worth your while . ava : are you offering me money ? luke : if that 's what it takes . the woman who hired me to find lauren frank is a very wealthy woman . her name is tracy quartermaine . maybe you 've heard of her . ava : as in the port charles quartermaines ? luke : that 's her . kiki : mom . hey , what 's going on ? do you know something i do n't ? heather : why must we talk about samantha morgan ? you know i ca n't stand her . all because she would n't deliver a letter to your son . heather : an extremely important letter . she came to me wanting information . i held up my end . told her everything she wanted to know about jason 's birth and all the circumstances surrounding it . and i ask her for one teeny - weeny little favor -- she paid for that , did n't she ? you made that woman suffer . heather : so did you . sam : voila . i bought it for rafe . spinelli : oh . he must -- he must have a real penchant for ice cream . sam : well , he needed some cheering up . not that he actually ate it . i -- i needed some cheering up . so , go ahead . it actually works . spinelli : if i may be so bold , why did your spirits need lifting ? sam : i failed at something , too . morgan went missing , and i went with carly to new york to go find him . spinelli : mission not accomplished ? sam : not by me , no . sonny 's on his way home with morgan now , if he 's not here already . spinelli : oh . well , i am most relieved to hear that . sam : yeah . crazy thing is , while i was looking for morgan , i actually ... found someone else . spinelli : who ? sam : ready for this ? him . luke : that 's not exactly the turn i expected this visit to take . tracy : then you 're a bigger fool than i thought you were . luke : what the hell is going on here right now ? tracy : that 's what i am to you , luke ? a fireplace with a compass ? luke : i never meant that . tracy : and while we 're throwing out metaphors , why do n't we try this one ? how about home base ? some innings , you make it home . and some innings , you do n't . luke : i did not say that . tracy : oh , but you did . dante : hey , hey , i , uh -- i 'll go with you . i 'll take you wherever you want to go . lulu : i really just want to go home . dante : you do ? that 's great . lulu : oh , no . no , i meant ... dante : uh , yeah . right . you want to go to milo 's . lulu : i 'm so sorry . i -- dante : no , stop . okay ? it 's whatever you need . stop apologizing . lulu : thank you . and thank you for offering to come with me , but ... i can find my own way . dante : i -- i 'd really rather you not go by yourself . lulu : i 'll be fine . please , go enjoy the celebration . everyone looks re -- really happy . scott : okay , okay . time to cut the cake . laura : well , let me at it . scott : all right . laura : okay . here it is . scott : come on . laura : okay . [ both chuckle ] laura : here we go . who wants cake ? scott : cake ? laura : you do . okay . scott : all right . laura : let 's get some plates . scott : let 's get some sugar in these kids . laura : [ laughs ] kiki : mom . say something . you 're freaking me out . why the big reaction when i mentioned port charles ? luke : as a quartermaine , your daughter has a vote . she needs to give that vote to tracy . ava : why ? luke : because the current c.e.o . , tracy 's nephew , aj is a mess . he 's a chronic screw - up . he 's never done anything successful in his life , and he 's guaranteed to drive this company into the ground . he 's already started that process . ava : um , it -- it 's just that the news story , about the hellish relish -- the people who made it , they 're from port charles . i was just trying to figure out why the name was so familiar to me . anyway , back to you and morgan . you really like him , huh ? kiki : yeah . a lot . ava : then do n't give up on him . kiki : wait . are you actually in support of the guy that i 'm dating ? ava : i got to know morgan when he was standing here . he seems like a very nice young man . kiki : he is . ava : shame it has to end just because his father made him go home . kiki : wait . what am i supposed to do about it ? morgan : congrats , mikey . i 'm sure another quartermaine heir kind of takes the pressure off of you , does n't it ? oh , so , uh , who 's your long - lost cousin ? michael : apparently , franco had a daughter named lauren frank . morgan : that freak had a kid ? michael : yeah , we 're trying to track her down to swing the vote for elq . sonny : this is aj 's idea , is n't it ? did it ever occur to him that this girl can be as crazy as her father ? morgan : hey , i think there 's a real cause for concern here , mom and dad . michael 's going off chasing some girl that 's a psychopath , and he could benefit from your guidance . carly : nice try , but i think you 're the one that needs watching . you 're the one who got caught up in gambling , and then you went and stayed with some girl you met online . morgan : her name 's kiki , and i can guarantee that she 's not the daughter of a serial killer . spinelli : stephen clay ? what was he doing in a hospital in new york ? sam : no . spinelli : they were treating him , were n't they ? ! he survived his so - called lethal injuries ! sam : spinelli , no . spinelli : no to what ? sam : no to all of it . although , i mean , i thought so , too . it 's pretty convincing . spinelli : that must have been unnerving . sam : not my best day . spinelli : i 'm sorry . i 'm confused . the resemblance is uncanny . so , who ... ? sam : yes , i know . yes , spinelli , this is not stephen clay . it 's his brother -- dr. silas clay . todd look - alike : i know that i hurt sam . and i wanted to make up for it . i wanted to make amends , but ... i had to leave town . you know that . now 's my chance . heather : yippee . todd look - alike : well , i 'm glad you feel that way because i need your help . tracy : luke , if you had your way , i would exist solely for your comfort and your convenience . luke : not true . tracy : and to stave off the wedding - day curse of scott baldwin . why are you even listening to scott baldwin ? i know why . because you 're getting older , like the rest of us . you do n't want to be alone . you want backup . you want a safety net . well , i 'm sorry . i ca n't be that for you . i ca n't be that for anybody . morgan : yeah , i just do n't get why you got to get on my case or kiki 's . michael : you were worked over by two professionals , morgan . it would have been a lot worse if dad and shawn did n't show up . morgan : please . come on . the way he took down the first guy , we would have had them both in another two minutes . carly : michael , you were fighting ? michael : mom , it 's okay . carly : no , it 's not ok -- morgan , he can not get involved with these kind of things . sonny : it 's handled , carly . the losers who went after morgan , they 're not the type of guys who are gon na press charges . carly : that 's not the point , sonny . morgan , your brother can not be in a fight . he has a criminal record . morgan : yes , i know . that 's why i did n't want michael involved . michael : i was n't gon na stand there and watch these guys beat up you or that girl . carly : i understand that . but you got to be careful . you ca n't go around hitting people . morgan : yeah , mikey , you got to be more careful . michael : you know what ? here 's an idea . next time , do n't bet money you do n't have . and if you do , call your parents before the collectors show up . carly : not gon na be a next time , right ? morgan : no . no , definitely not . lesson learned . carly : way too easy . that was way too easy . sonny : hey . he 's safe . right ? he 's here . so let 's leave it at that . come on . let 's go . carly : whoa . what do you mean , `` come on . let 's go `` ? sonny : he 's gon na come to my place . carly : no , he 's not . i mean , i appreciate everything , but he 's gon na stay with me . sonny : after what just happened , it would be better if i just kept an eye -- carly : send all the guards you want , but i want him in his bedroom . morgan : can you stop ? i hate it when you guys fight over me . just how about i stay with michael ? perfect compromise , right ? nothing 's gon na happen to me when i 'm with my big brother . sonny : it works for me . michael : whoa , whoa , whoa ! hold on a second . that 's not -- carly : it 's not a permanent solution , okay ? i love you . morgan : i love you , too . carly : all right . michael . michael : mom , maybe we should talk about this arrangement . carly : and you know what ? do not let him out of your sight . sonny : keep your phone on , and i 'm gon na check on you . carly : yeah . heather : you want me to help you make amends ? todd look - alike : that 's correct . heather : with samantha morgan , of all people ? todd look - alike : correct again . heather : why in the world would i do anything to help that piece of garbage ? todd look - alike : you would n't be helping her . you 'd be helping me . you do n't hate me , do you ? heather : no . of course not . i could never hate you . well , we have had our moments , but ... we have a bond , after everything we 've been through together . todd look - alike : so you will help me with samantha ? heather : as if i could ever say no to you . sam : silas was estranged from stephen , claimed not to know anything about his criminal behavior . spinelli : but you informed him . sam : dr. clay did n't seem surprised at all that his brother convinced himself that he was a vampire . in fact , he did n't say it in so many words , but he implied that he got points for style . spinelli : was he aware that he had died ? no . and did he have any reaction ? sam : i mean , apparently , they were n't that close , but that 's not the thing that gets me . the thing that gets me is , when i told him that he had a nephew , who i was taking care of -- spinelli : a nephew who saw his mother killed in front of him by his own father . sam : i know . spinelli : still nothing ? sam : nothing . not a shred of human emotion . spinelli : well , surely , he must have been concerned for his nephew . sam : no . it was like he did n't want to have anything to do with rafe . spinelli : did you tell rafe that ? sam : no . rafe has already lost so much . i do n't want him to know that he sam : no . rafe has already lost so much . i do n't want him to know that he actually has family out there that does n't give a damn . spinelli : it 's a sad situation , indeed . i do n't suppose you thought of forcing the issue of getting the courts involved ? sam : no . no . rafe deserves better than somebody who does n't want him . spinelli : well , he could n't have done better than with you . sam : aww . thank you . spinelli : hey , i should go . i have a date . sam : got a date ? ha ha ! say hi to ellie for me . spinelli : i will . you know , thank you for the ice cream . it really does work . sam : [ chuckles ] [ glasses clink ] scott : here 's to my beautiful bride , that i have loved , well ... forever . laura : literally . [ laughter ] scott : and a true love that only gets better with age . elizabeth : aww . laura : i love you . lesley : sweet . scott : let 's eat cake ! laura : okay . elizabeth : he said , `` let 's go eat cake . `` go on ! go get the cake . go and look at it . both : would you like some cake ? elizabeth : really ? just forget your cake . luke : to be honest -- tracy : there 's a first . luke : [ sighs ] i do n't get why you 're so upset . it was one measly kiss . tracy : it was not measly . luke : thank you . tracy : that is so not what i meant . luke : i really thought it was a compliment , tracy ... telling you that i wanted you to be my true north . tracy : luke , what do i get out of it ? i keep the home fires burning for ... months , years ... while you do whatever , wherever , and whenever . what kind of life is that for me ? gee , luke , if you 've got something to say , spit it out ! luke : all right . i was gon na say , i do n't see how that is any different than the life you 're living right now . tracy : in what respect ? luke : do you have any plans to leave port charles ? tracy : no . luke : are you dating someone that i 'm unaware of ? tracy : no ! luke : well , then why is n't it to our mutual benefit to keep going the way we 're going and , in the end , have each other ? tracy : 'cause i do n't want to keep going the way we 're going ! i see how it all works out for you . you get to make scott baldwin wrong ! yippee ! you get to travel the world . and nobody ever says you 're alone or you 're doddering because you 've got me waiting for you ! and what do i get ? luke : me ? tracy : when ? when ? when ? ! in a decade ? i want more than that ! i want a soul mate ! luke : since when ? tracy : since always . what ... you and laura had -- god knows how ... i never had that ! luke : and that 's what you want ? tracy : [ laughs ] clearly , you find that surprising by my demeanor . but , yes . i want -- i dream ... what every single woman dreams of -- true love . luke : well , i 'll be damned . tracy : and guess what . i 'm not gon na give up on that dream ... until my last dying breath . so do n't you dare come in here and kiss me and feed me scraps . i am sick to death of making a meal out of crumbs . i want the whole meal . and i am not giving up ... until i get it . tracy : that 's all you have to say ? luke : give me a minute . [ breathes deeply ] you deserve all that . and more . tracy : but ? luke : but i 'm -- i do n't want to be rude . tracy : no . never . luke : well , do n't you think it 's a little late in the game for such grand romantic dreams ? tracy : it 's never too late . and it does n't have to be a dream . i 'd like you to leave . luke : look , tracy -- tracy : and if you want something to cuddle up to between adventures ... try this . luke : oh , we 're back to this . tracy : we 're back to nowhere , luke . see yourself out . ava : so that 's why tracy wanted you to find lauren . my daughter is a tiebreaker in some battle for control of elq . luke : yes . tracy needs lauren to help unseat this irredeemable jerk ... and thereby save the family fortune . will you help us do that ? michael : well , i hope you do n't mind the couch . where you going ? morgan : where do you think ? new york , back to kiki . michael : morgan , you ca n't do that . morgan . morgan : watch me . who was that guy that visited you ? he looks so familiar . heather : oh . just an old friend . [ doorbell rings ] sam : you ? lesley : lulu left , huh ? dante : i think this was all just a little bit too much for her . lesley : you know , dante ... lulu 's memory loss may not be just from physical trauma . there could be psychological aspect . dante : what do you mean ? lesley : well , if she 's not remembering her past , it may be because there are things buried back there that she does n't want to remember . lesley : i now pronounce you husband and wife . | the mysterious man from the television studio and the airplane goes to visit heather webber at the mental institution . she remarks that he looks a little different than he used to . after exchanging pleasantries , he says he came to talk about sam morgan . she reminds him that she hates sam . he says she already got her revenge and that both of them have hurt sam enough . she agrees to help him with sam . spinelli and sam commiserate over their failed missions . spinelli concludes that the missing quartermaine is already on tracy 's side . sam says she found someone else while she was looking for morgan and shows spinelli a picture of dr. silas clay , steven 's brother . she tells him that silas was completely devoid of any human emotion when she told him everything about steven or when she told him that he has a nephew . after spinelli leaves , sam answers the door to a surprise visitor . | <s>[INST] sam : okay . thanks for waiting . danny 's down for the count . rafe is with his counselor . catch me up . what 's going on ? spinelli : well , my quest to find the missing quartermaine heir has hit a rough patch , so to speak . sam : how rough ? spinelli : i failed . [ door opens ] kiki : oh , it 's you . ava : `` hi , mom . welcome home . how was your trip ? `` kiki : i 'm sorry . i just thought that you were morgan . ava : why ? what happened to him ? kiki : he 's gone . [ door opens ] michael : hey . carly : oh , god . you 're okay . michael : yeah . carly : i was so worried about you . michael : mom , i 'm fine . so is morgan . carly : where is your brother ? i thought he was with you . where 's morgan ? morgan : not to worry , mom . right here . sam : last time we talked , i thought you had a great lead . what happened ? i thought finding lauren was a done deal . spinelli : so did i . but it turns out i was bamboozled by luke spencer . tracy : i do n't want to lose you to drinking , luke . i do n't want to lose you at all . luke : you wo n't . tracy : do n't get me wrong . there are times i want to strangle you , but i still care about you . i care about you a lot . luke : likewise . tracy : what was that ? scott : that was lucy . mayor lomax had to cancel . laura : why ? scott : i do n't know . some impending sanitation strike or something . elizabeth : oh , no . laura : so , we do n't have anyone to marry us ? scott : well , unless we can come up with a justice of the peace , a priest , a rabbi , anybody that 's available today . lesley : there 's me . right in here , sir . hey , do i know you from somewhere ? i do n't think so . i 've been getting that a lot lately , though . maybe i just have one of those faces . [ keys rattling , door unlocks ] luke : i thought we were having a moment , so i went with it . tracy : a moment or a diversion ? luke : come again ? tracy : let 's see -- one minute , we were talking about your drinking non- problem , and the next minute , you were ambushing me . luke : my kiss felt like an ambush ? i think i 'm hurt . tracy : quit stalling . answer the question . luke : would i divert a conversation away from me and alcohol ? yes , any day of the week . why ? because , `` a , `` as you just said , it 's a non - problem , and , `` b , `` because i 'm sick to death of it ! but that 's not why i kissed you . tracy : no ? luke : no . tracy : by all means -- enlighten me . scott : are you a rabbi ? lesley : recently , i was ordained online so i could marry two dear friends . laura : i did n't know that . scott : well , you 're full of surprises . lesley : you remember that . laura : what kind of ceremony did you perform ? lesley : uh , actually , it was based upon ... wiccan teachings . scott : wiccan ? like in witches ? lesley : like in wiccan . laura : uh , are you really able to marry us ? lesley : yes . laura : really ? are you willing ? lesley : well , i figure if i 'm going to accept him as your husband , i might as well go the extra step and make him your husband . right ? scott : ah ! okay . well , then , let 's get married . lesley : so , we 're gon na do it , huh ? scott : let 's do it . laura : oh , that 's fantastic . spinelli : quite convincing , this fake mystery heiress . she played hard - to - get at first , until i pulled the `` truth `` out of her . sam : how long did she let you go on ? spinelli : long enough to explain the whole story . sam : really ? well , if it was n't the real lauren frank , who was it ? spinelli : some struggling actress . luke called in a favor and convinced her to send me down the wrong path . sam : no , this is a good thing . that means the real lauren is out there somewhere . spinelli : yeah , as elusive as ever . ava : what do you mean gone ? is morgan all right ? kiki : he 's fine . those lowlifes came looking for him , the ones that he was hiding from . ava : they came looking for him here , in our home ? kiki : yes . relax ! everything 's fine now , okay ? ava : lauren katherine jerome , collectors for a bookie showing up at our home is not fine ! it is totally unacceptable . kiki : it only got worse . ava : morgan did n't have the money he owed them . kiki : and they were n't too happy about it . actually , morgan 's brother found him on the floor . ava : oh , my god . kiki : and he had to take him to the hospital . ava : how badly was he hurt ? kiki : he just had a few bruised ribs , okay ? that 's all . ava : oh ! oh , well . if that 's all ... kiki : you know , i came up with this brilliant plan for him to get all of his money back , and morgan was completely on board with it ... ava : but ? kiki : but his obnoxious brother was n't . he was a complete downer . you know what ? that brother , michael , he would n't know adventure if it bit him in the butt . ava : [ chuckles ] okay . so ... everything got ruined . and then what ? this -- this michael , he took morgan home ? kiki : no , his father did . ava : oh . well , you know what ? i 'm relieved , actually . i told morgan to have his parents help him . he was adamant about them not being involved . kiki : yeah , well , it was n't exactly morgan 's choice , okay ? his dad practically dragged him out by the ear . sonny : here he is -- the prodigal son . carly : you 're okay ? morgan : uh , yeah , i was . watch the ribs . carly : i ca n't believe what those animals did to you . morgan : mom , can you stop ? i 'm fine , seriously . carly : are you sure ? morgan : yeah . never better . carly : positive ? 100 % ? morgan : do n't i look it ? carly : yes . and now that i know you 're gon na live , i 'm gon na kill you myself . guard : you have one hour . heather : so ... todd look - alike : so ... heather : it 's you . todd look - alike : it 's me . heather : long time no see . i was living with pain -- all over . carly : do you have any idea how worried we were -- how absolutely terrified ? morgan : i 'm sorry . carly : no . sorry does n't cut it . i mean , seriously , i do n't even know where to begin with you . sonny : you can start with the gambling . carly : that gambling . yes , thank you ! the gambling . huge -- huge amounts of money ! what were you thinking ? then you take off for new york city , all without even letting your parents know ? i mean , my god -- when i think about what could have happened to you ... morgan : oh , mom , come on . stop . carly : stop ? i 'm not gon na stop . things happen , morgan . terrible things happen . events spiral out of control , and lives are changed . do n't tell me to stop . and let me tell you something . the second -- the second -- you knew you were in trouble , you should have called us . morgan : i know ! carly : your father and i would have helped you . then why did n't you ? ! morgan : because i just wanted to handle it on my own . sonny : in case you had n't noticed , i just bailed you out . morgan : yeah , okay . and you did n't have to because i was working on a plan . michael : your plan was toast , morgan . if dad did n't show up , you could have been killed , along with your mastermind girlfriend . ava : can you really blame the man for being upset ? kiki : i would not call it upset . i do n't even know how to describe it , okay ? he was ... he was very quiet and very calm but very terrifying . i can see why morgan did n't want him to get involved . this is not a parent that you would want to get in trouble with . ava : well ... better his dad than those debt collectors . kiki : just leave it to my boyfriend to get dragged off by his dad all the way home . and he lives in port charles . ava : port charles , new york ? heather : i had no idea you were back in town . todd look - alike : surprise . heather : something about you looks different . todd look - alike : you think ? heather : mm . [ laughing ] heather : not sure what it is . but it suits you . todd look - alike : thank you . whatever you 're doing suits you . you look great . heather : thanks . todd look - alike : well - rested . heather : i 've been keeping busy . doing a lot of reading , perfecting my macramé skills . todd look - alike : ah . heather : getting in touch with my inner child . but i 'm sure you did n't come here to exchange pleasantries . todd look - alike : no . heather : so ... why the visit , after all this time ? todd look - alike : we need to talk about samantha morgan . sam : this is not like you , spinelli . giving up ? it 's not too late to find the real lauren . spinelli : i respectfully disagree . luke revealed that he 'd already located the long - lost quartermaine . in fact , it 's safe to say he was quite openly gloating . so , as far as i know , the missing heir is now on team tracy already , and tracy has all the votes she needs to regain control of elq ... sam : spinelli ! spinelli : and aj and michael will be ousted immediately , and all of the above will be my fault . [ breathes deeply ] luke : why all the ruckus ? it is n't like we have n't kissed before . we used to be married . our connubial bliss was flying in every direction . tracy : `` used to , `` as in `` not anymore and not in a long time . `` luke : it has n't been that long , has it ? tracy : yeah , it has . and , by the way , have you forgotten what it took for us to become friends , or at least the closest approximation of friendship you and i are capable of ? luke : well , it has been a bumpy ride . tracy : so do n't throw in a pothole now ! luke : okay . tracy : repeat after me -- `` there will be no casual kissing between us `` -- not that that kiss felt casual in the slightest . luke : i 'm sorry , but you are making way too much out of this . tracy : okay . so , if that kiss was not a distraction from our conversation about drinking , what was it ? luke ! luke : laura 's getting married . lesley : are you ready ? laura : yes . lesley : laura , do you now commit to love , honor , and respect scott , to be a support to him in times of sickness and health as long as you both shall live ? laura : i do . [ giggling ] lesley : and do you , scotty , commit to love , honor , and respect my daughter ... to be a support to her in times of sickness and health as long as you both shall live ? scott : i most certainly do . lesley : well , i guess there 's nothing left then but to say i now pronounce you husband and wife . laura : we did it . scott : we did . laura : [ laughing ] elizabeth : aww . yay ! [ applause ] elizabeth : good job , guys . laura : thank you . cameron : that was such a good smooch . scott : oh , thank you . lesley : i now pronounce you husband and wife . dante : tell me what happened . did you remember something about our wedding ? lulu : no . i 'm sorry . okay ? i do n't -- i do n't remember anything . i need to go congratulate ... the happy couple . that was beautiful . laura : thank you . scott : it means a lot . lulu : i 'm sorry . laura : for what ? lulu : that i do n't remember , that i ca n't bring our history to your ceremony . i could see from your smile that you were really happy , and i 'm really happy for you . laura : yes . lulu : and i am glad that i came . laura : oh , sweetie , i am , too . are -- are you sure you 're okay ? lulu : yeah , i 'm fine . the last thing you need to be doing right now is worrying about me . laura : well , you have to get used to that when that 's what mothers do . lesley : she 's right . laura : [ chuckles ] lulu : i 'm just a little overwhelmed . laura : okay . lulu : if i could , um ... if it would n't be rude , i would like to -- laura : you want to get going ? lulu : yeah . laura : go . lulu : really ? laura : oh , absolutely . we completely understand , do n't we ? scott : yes , that 's what families do . laura : i love you , lulu . lulu : congratulations , again . tracy : laura 's getting married today , so you kissed me because you ca n't have her ! luke : no , no , that 's not -- i do n't care if laura 's getting married . tracy : really ? luke : look , what we had is over , and you know it . it 's been over for a long time . tracy : forgive me if i do n't believe a word of what you 're saying . luke : why ? tracy : oh , i do n't know . maybe because when i asked you what was behind that kiss , you blurted out , `` laura 's getting married . `` kind of tipped me off . luke : well , i was n't thinking about laura . i was thinking about baldwin and something that he said to me earlier . tracy : really ? did the two of you have a moment ? luke : well , if that 's what you want to call him chasing me down to make sure i do n't crash his wedding . tracy : and what did he say , luke ? luke : i do n't know . something about he and laura being all safe and warm and me being alone in the end , miserable . [ chuckles ] i believe the words `` doddering old coot `` were used . tracy : and what do you care about being alone , luke ? all the better to vanish on a moment 's notice . luke : well ... you know , once that 's over , it would be nice to have someone to come back to , someone to share the rest of it with . tracy : what do you want from me , luke ? luke : i want ... i want you to be ... my home fires burning in the distance , i guess . i want you to be my true north . that 's what i want . carly : girlfriend ? okay , so this is the person you met online ? she 's a girl ? she 's not some catfish ? morgan : no , she 's not some catfish , okay ? or some shady old perv . she 's a girl , and i like her a lot , and all she wanted to do was help me get out of trouble . sonny : you 're making a lot of assumptions there , morgan . carly : did you meet this girl ? sonny : yeah , yeah . her name is kiki . carly : kiki ? sonny : it 's a nickname for katherine . her last name is jerome . carly : well , that explains the stupid screen name `` jerome around the world . `` sonny : but it could be more than that . morgan : no . no , dad . we already talked about it . carly : stop . what do you mean it could be more than that ? sonny : okay . the jeromes were a very powerful family back in the ' 80s . they controlled most of port charles . carly : is this girl one of them ? morgan : no ! absolutely not . michael : how can you be sure ? just because she did n't tell you does not mean she 's not tied to a mob family . morgan : can you stay out of this , michael ? carly : hey ! why do n't you try thanking your brother ? 'cause he put his life on hold to come chasing after you . morgan : okay , yeah . oh , thank you , mikey , so much for providing me with assistance that i did n't want or need . oh , and wait , wait , wait . what did i drag you away from that was so important , anyway ? michael : just looking for the long - lost quartermaine heir . kiki : yeah , he 's from port charles , new york . why ? have you heard of it ? luke : i 'll make it worth your while . ava : are you offering me money ? luke : if that 's what it takes . the woman who hired me to find lauren frank is a very wealthy woman . her name is tracy quartermaine . maybe you 've heard of her . ava : as in the port charles quartermaines ? luke : that 's her . kiki : mom . hey , what 's going on ? do you know something i do n't ? heather : why must we talk about samantha morgan ? you know i ca n't stand her . all because she would n't deliver a letter to your son . heather : an extremely important letter . she came to me wanting information . i held up my end . told her everything she wanted to know about jason 's birth and all the circumstances surrounding it . and i ask her for one teeny - weeny little favor -- she paid for that , did n't she ? you made that woman suffer . heather : so did you . sam : voila . i bought it for rafe . spinelli : oh . he must -- he must have a real penchant for ice cream . sam : well , he needed some cheering up . not that he actually ate it . i -- i needed some cheering up . so , go ahead . it actually works . spinelli : if i may be so bold , why did your spirits need lifting ? sam : i failed at something , too . morgan went missing , and i went with carly to new york to go find him . spinelli : mission not accomplished ? sam : not by me , no . sonny 's on his way home with morgan now , if he 's not here already . spinelli : oh . well , i am most relieved to hear that . sam : yeah . crazy thing is , while i was looking for morgan , i actually ... found someone else . spinelli : who ? sam : ready for this ? him . luke : that 's not exactly the turn i expected this visit to take . tracy : then you 're a bigger fool than i thought you were . luke : what the hell is going on here right now ? tracy : that 's what i am to you , luke ? a fireplace with a compass ? luke : i never meant that . tracy : and while we 're throwing out metaphors , why do n't we try this one ? how about home base ? some innings , you make it home . and some innings , you do n't . luke : i did not say that . tracy : oh , but you did . dante : hey , hey , i , uh -- i 'll go with you . i 'll take you wherever you want to go . lulu : i really just want to go home . dante : you do ? that 's great . lulu : oh , no . no , i meant ... dante : uh , yeah . right . you want to go to milo 's . lulu : i 'm so sorry . i -- dante : no , stop . okay ? it 's whatever you need . stop apologizing . lulu : thank you . and thank you for offering to come with me , but ... i can find my own way . dante : i -- i 'd really rather you not go by yourself . lulu : i 'll be fine . please , go enjoy the celebration . everyone looks re -- really happy . scott : okay , okay . time to cut the cake . laura : well , let me at it . scott : all right . laura : okay . here it is . scott : come on . laura : okay . [ both chuckle ] laura : here we go . who wants cake ? scott : cake ? laura : you do . okay . scott : all right . laura : let 's get some plates . scott : let 's get some sugar in these kids . laura : [ laughs ] kiki : mom . say something . you 're freaking me out . why the big reaction when i mentioned port charles ? luke : as a quartermaine , your daughter has a vote . she needs to give that vote to tracy . ava : why ? luke : because the current c.e.o . , tracy 's nephew , aj is a mess . he 's a chronic screw - up . he 's never done anything successful in his life , and he 's guaranteed to drive this company into the ground . he 's already started that process . ava : um , it -- it 's just that the news story , about the hellish relish -- the people who made it , they 're from port charles . i was just trying to figure out why the name was so familiar to me . anyway , back to you and morgan . you really like him , huh ? kiki : yeah . a lot . ava : then do n't give up on him . kiki : wait . are you actually in support of the guy that i 'm dating ? ava : i got to know morgan when he was standing here . he seems like a very nice young man . kiki : he is . ava : shame it has to end just because his father made him go home . kiki : wait . what am i supposed to do about it ? morgan : congrats , mikey . i 'm sure another quartermaine heir kind of takes the pressure off of you , does n't it ? oh , so , uh , who 's your long - lost cousin ? michael : apparently , franco had a daughter named lauren frank . morgan : that freak had a kid ? michael : yeah , we 're trying to track her down to swing the vote for elq . sonny : this is aj 's idea , is n't it ? did it ever occur to him that this girl can be as crazy as her father ? morgan : hey , i think there 's a real cause for concern here , mom and dad . michael 's going off chasing some girl that 's a psychopath , and he could benefit from your guidance . carly : nice try , but i think you 're the one that needs watching . you 're the one who got caught up in gambling , and then you went and stayed with some girl you met online . morgan : her name 's kiki , and i can guarantee that she 's not the daughter of a serial killer . spinelli : stephen clay ? what was he doing in a hospital in new york ? sam : no . spinelli : they were treating him , were n't they ? ! he survived his so - called lethal injuries ! sam : spinelli , no . spinelli : no to what ? sam : no to all of it . although , i mean , i thought so , too . it 's pretty convincing . spinelli : that must have been unnerving . sam : not my best day . spinelli : i 'm sorry . i 'm confused . the resemblance is uncanny . so , who ... ? sam : yes , i know . yes , spinelli , this is not stephen clay . it 's his brother -- dr. silas clay . todd look - alike : i know that i hurt sam . and i wanted to make up for it . i wanted to make amends , but ... i had to leave town . you know that . now 's my chance . heather : yippee . todd look - alike : well , i 'm glad you feel that way because i need your help . tracy : luke , if you had your way , i would exist solely for your comfort and your convenience . luke : not true . tracy : and to stave off the wedding - day curse of scott baldwin . why are you even listening to scott baldwin ? i know why . because you 're getting older , like the rest of us . you do n't want to be alone . you want backup . you want a safety net . well , i 'm sorry . i ca n't be that for you . i ca n't be that for anybody . morgan : yeah , i just do n't get why you got to get on my case or kiki 's . michael : you were worked over by two professionals , morgan . it would have been a lot worse if dad and shawn did n't show up . morgan : please . come on . the way he took down the first guy , we would have had them both in another two minutes . carly : michael , you were fighting ? michael : mom , it 's okay . carly : no , it 's not ok -- morgan , he can not get involved with these kind of things . sonny : it 's handled , carly . the losers who went after morgan , they 're not the type of guys who are gon na press charges . carly : that 's not the point , sonny . morgan , your brother can not be in a fight . he has a criminal record . morgan : yes , i know . that 's why i did n't want michael involved . michael : i was n't gon na stand there and watch these guys beat up you or that girl . carly : i understand that . but you got to be careful . you ca n't go around hitting people . morgan : yeah , mikey , you got to be more careful . michael : you know what ? here 's an idea . next time , do n't bet money you do n't have . and if you do , call your parents before the collectors show up . carly : not gon na be a next time , right ? morgan : no . no , definitely not . lesson learned . carly : way too easy . that was way too easy . sonny : hey . he 's safe . right ? he 's here . so let 's leave it at that . come on . let 's go . carly : whoa . what do you mean , `` come on . let 's go `` ? sonny : he 's gon na come to my place . carly : no , he 's not . i mean , i appreciate everything , but he 's gon na stay with me . sonny : after what just happened , it would be better if i just kept an eye -- carly : send all the guards you want , but i want him in his bedroom . morgan : can you stop ? i hate it when you guys fight over me . just how about i stay with michael ? perfect compromise , right ? nothing 's gon na happen to me when i 'm with my big brother . sonny : it works for me . michael : whoa , whoa , whoa ! hold on a second . that 's not -- carly : it 's not a permanent solution , okay ? i love you . morgan : i love you , too . carly : all right . michael . michael : mom , maybe we should talk about this arrangement . carly : and you know what ? do not let him out of your sight . sonny : keep your phone on , and i 'm gon na check on you . carly : yeah . heather : you want me to help you make amends ? todd look - alike : that 's correct . heather : with samantha morgan , of all people ? todd look - alike : correct again . heather : why in the world would i do anything to help that piece of garbage ? todd look - alike : you would n't be helping her . you 'd be helping me . you do n't hate me , do you ? heather : no . of course not . i could never hate you . well , we have had our moments , but ... we have a bond , after everything we 've been through together . todd look - alike : so you will help me with samantha ? heather : as if i could ever say no to you . sam : silas was estranged from stephen , claimed not to know anything about his criminal behavior . spinelli : but you informed him . sam : dr. clay did n't seem surprised at all that his brother convinced himself that he was a vampire . in fact , he did n't say it in so many words , but he implied that he got points for style . spinelli : was he aware that he had died ? no . and did he have any reaction ? sam : i mean , apparently , they were n't that close , but that 's not the thing that gets me . the thing that gets me is , when i told him that he had a nephew , who i was taking care of -- spinelli : a nephew who saw his mother killed in front of him by his own father . sam : i know . spinelli : still nothing ? sam : nothing . not a shred of human emotion . spinelli : well , surely , he must have been concerned for his nephew . sam : no . it was like he did n't want to have anything to do with rafe . spinelli : did you tell rafe that ? sam : no . rafe has already lost so much . i do n't want him to know that he sam : no . rafe has already lost so much . i do n't want him to know that he actually has family out there that does n't give a damn . spinelli : it 's a sad situation , indeed . i do n't suppose you thought of forcing the issue of getting the courts involved ? sam : no . no . rafe deserves better than somebody who does n't want him . spinelli : well , he could n't have done better than with you . sam : aww . thank you . spinelli : hey , i should go . i have a date . sam : got a date ? ha ha ! say hi to ellie for me . spinelli : i will . you know , thank you for the ice cream . it really does work . sam : [ chuckles ] [ glasses clink ] scott : here 's to my beautiful bride , that i have loved , well ... forever . laura : literally . [ laughter ] scott : and a true love that only gets better with age . elizabeth : aww . laura : i love you . lesley : sweet . scott : let 's eat cake ! laura : okay . elizabeth : he said , `` let 's go eat cake . `` go on ! go get the cake . go and look at it . both : would you like some cake ? elizabeth : really ? just forget your cake . luke : to be honest -- tracy : there 's a first . luke : [ sighs ] i do n't get why you 're so upset . it was one measly kiss . tracy : it was not measly . luke : thank you . tracy : that is so not what i meant . luke : i really thought it was a compliment , tracy ... telling you that i wanted you to be my true north . tracy : luke , what do i get out of it ? i keep the home fires burning for ... months , years ... while you do whatever , wherever , and whenever . what kind of life is that for me ? gee , luke , if you 've got something to say , spit it out ! luke : all right . i was gon na say , i do n't see how that is any different than the life you 're living right now . tracy : in what respect ? luke : do you have any plans to leave port charles ? tracy : no . luke : are you dating someone that i 'm unaware of ? tracy : no ! luke : well , then why is n't it to our mutual benefit to keep going the way we 're going and , in the end , have each other ? tracy : 'cause i do n't want to keep going the way we 're going ! i see how it all works out for you . you get to make scott baldwin wrong ! yippee ! you get to travel the world . and nobody ever says you 're alone or you 're doddering because you 've got me waiting for you ! and what do i get ? luke : me ? tracy : when ? when ? when ? ! in a decade ? i want more than that ! i want a soul mate ! luke : since when ? tracy : since always . what ... you and laura had -- god knows how ... i never had that ! luke : and that 's what you want ? tracy : [ laughs ] clearly , you find that surprising by my demeanor . but , yes . i want -- i dream ... what every single woman dreams of -- true love . luke : well , i 'll be damned . tracy : and guess what . i 'm not gon na give up on that dream ... until my last dying breath . so do n't you dare come in here and kiss me and feed me scraps . i am sick to death of making a meal out of crumbs . i want the whole meal . and i am not giving up ... until i get it . tracy : that 's all you have to say ? luke : give me a minute . [ breathes deeply ] you deserve all that . and more . tracy : but ? luke : but i 'm -- i do n't want to be rude . tracy : no . never . luke : well , do n't you think it 's a little late in the game for such grand romantic dreams ? tracy : it 's never too late . and it does n't have to be a dream . i 'd like you to leave . luke : look , tracy -- tracy : and if you want something to cuddle up to between adventures ... try this . luke : oh , we 're back to this . tracy : we 're back to nowhere , luke . see yourself out . ava : so that 's why tracy wanted you to find lauren . my daughter is a tiebreaker in some battle for control of elq . luke : yes . tracy needs lauren to help unseat this irredeemable jerk ... and thereby save the family fortune . will you help us do that ? michael : well , i hope you do n't mind the couch . where you going ? morgan : where do you think ? new york , back to kiki . michael : morgan , you ca n't do that . morgan . morgan : watch me . who was that guy that visited you ? he looks so familiar . heather : oh . just an old friend . [ doorbell rings ] sam : you ? lesley : lulu left , huh ? dante : i think this was all just a little bit too much for her . lesley : you know , dante ... lulu 's memory loss may not be just from physical trauma . there could be psychological aspect . dante : what do you mean ? lesley : well , if she 's not remembering her past , it may be because there are things buried back there that she does n't want to remember . lesley : i now pronounce you husband and wife .Summarize.[/INST]the mysterious man from the television studio and the airplane goes to visit heather webber at the mental institution . she remarks that he looks a little different than he used to . after exchanging pleasantries , he says he came to talk about sam morgan . she reminds him that she hates sam . he says she already got her revenge and that both of them have hurt sam enough . she agrees to help him with sam . spinelli and sam commiserate over their failed missions . spinelli concludes that the missing quartermaine is already on tracy 's side . sam says she found someone else while she was looking for morgan and shows spinelli a picture of dr. silas clay , steven 's brother . she tells him that silas was completely devoid of any human emotion when she told him everything about steven or when she told him that he has a nephew . after spinelli leaves , sam answers the door to a surprise visitor .</s> | 10,536 |

[ blair chuckles ] blair : we do n't tell each other what to do , which is huge , but we can talk . well , i end up doing most of the talking , like right now . but most of the time , john , we just let each other be . so when i find myself wanting to call you , i had to stop and think , well , maybe something else is going on , something more than just a couple of beers up on your roof . john : well , you want a beer ? blair : no . john : i know what you 're feeling . i mean , i ca n't give it a name , but i feel it , too . um , the thing is -- blair : i know , i know , you were n't shopping for that . john : that 's not it . i 've got something i need to say to you .

noah : uh , actually , i meant i hope that it 's okay we stop there before the club . tessa : oh , but i 'm not family . noah : well , that does n't mean you 're not an important part of my life . mariah : that counts . tessa : well , then , yeah . yeah , i 'd love to go . noah : okay . let 's do this . i will have her to the club in time to meet our new pal , irv . devon : you better ! tessa : oh , yeah ! do n't worry . devon : all right . mariah : bye , guys ! devon : see you , guys . mariah : hi . devon : hi . i was hoping to have some alone time with you tonight , even if it was just for a little while . mariah : mm . what did you have in mind ? nick : okay , i know that you are worried that victor 's gon na swoop in and cause some trouble while i 'm out of town , but i can not cancel this trip with noah just because i 'm afraid of what he might do to get back at me for telling faith that he kicked me off the ranch . chelsea : nor do i expect you to . i just -- i resent the fact that he 's taking up space in my brain , you know ? nick : do n't let him , okay ? do n't let him you got to boot that out of your mind . all right ? he 's gon na do whatever he 's gon na do . it 's not gon na change a thing . look , i got the woman that i love , i have a great kids , and i have a business that i can not wait to expand with my son . chelsea : you really like the sound of that , do n't you ? nick : i 'm just fired up that my son wants to do something like this with me . and he also wants to spend time with me outside of work . that 's something my dad and i will never have because he 's so dead - set on controlling every aspect of my life . victor : nicholas fired his financial advisor and then moved his account to a bank that none of the other newmans use . kevin : oh . so you want me to use my skills to hack into his account . victor : oh , whoa , whoa , whoa . access , okay ? kevin : access his account . victor : yes . then you transfer it into my account . kevin : all of it ? victor : no . just the money that he won in the lawsuit against me -- 500 million buckaroos . kevin : that kind of money is n't gon na be lying around in a checking account ! i 'm sure he has it tied up in some long - term investments . victor : that 's why you will go into the account , turn those investments into cash , and transfer them into my account . kevin : [ sighs ] you know this is a felony , right ? i mean , the first firewall breach , the feds are gon na be in my face in a big way . victor : it 's not the first time that you 've broken the law . are you telling me you ca n't do it or you wo n't do it ? lily : [ sighs ] mattie , look ... i do n't know where your dad and i will end up , but we will always ... mattie : love me and charlie and always want the best for us . lily : and it 's true . that 's why we went to counseling , for you and charlie . so that we could figure out a future where family comes first . mattie : which means dad comes home . lily : sounds like that 's what you want . mattie : i hate what dad did . i always will . but maybe if he comes home , he wo n't be so uptight and self - righteous . he 'd be old , fun dad . lily : meaning he 'd let you see reed . mattie , even if i take your dad back , it does n't mean that his issues with victoria will go away , or his problems with reed . mattie : dad overreacting to reed is a result of him not living here anymore . lily : or maybe it 's because his children are n't talking to him . look , even if i take your dad back , will you be able to forgive him for everything that happened before you started dating reed ? mattie : if it meant our family could go back to the way it once was ... lily : mattie , i 'm not sure if that can happen . cane : you know , there 's one more egg roll left . juliet : mm ! oh ! no , i can't . mmm . the baby and i are both too full . let me help clean this up . cane : no , no . stop . no , you -- you cooked . i 'll clean . juliet : mmm . division of labor . i like it . but just fyi , this really is my idea of cooking . cane : yeah , well , i make a mean aussie waffle . it 's a , uh , back - to - school tradition . as well as taking charlie to get his sports gear before the season starts and mattie out for ice cream after she aces her first exam of the semester . but i do n't think that 's gon na happen this year . juliet : they 're teens . they all pull away at this age no matter what you do . but you 'll be home soon and things will get easier . cane : you 're an optimist . juliet : i 've been called worse . cane : this is true . juliet : hey , look at that ! you smiled and your face did n't crack . progress . cane : yeah . juliet : and that 's progress , too . which is good , since we 'll be raising a child together . have you changed your mind about that ? sharon : you 've been doing a lot of research on sex trafficking rings . scott : yeah , and most of the women were young and naive . many of them runaways who have been lured here by offers of legitimate jobs . but then before you know it , the girls are trapped . they 're hooked on drugs . they 're told they have to turn tricks to pay for their habit or for their room and board . it 's indentured servitude . sharon : i hate that it still goes on , but what does everything that you 've researched and put together have to do with crystal ? scott : i 'll track some of the women from my research and see if i can convince them to talk , you know ? maybe one of them has met crystal . maybe one will recognize a pic of alice and tie her to the sex trade once and for all . sharon : what if word gets out that we 're looking for crystal again ? or if word gets back to alice that i 'm involved ? scott : you know , being cautious is one of the things i do . sharon : i just -- i love it that you 're trying to help , but if something happened to you or to crystal , i -- i ca n't have that , scott . scott : listen , i hear you . i just -- i need to finish this series on sex trafficking . sharon : yeah . okay . yeah . do that . whatever it takes to help girls like crystal . i mean , if even one of them ended up calling the crisis hotline , that would be worth it . but i just need you safe . with your laptop , not with criminals . please say you understand that . scott : do n't you get it by now ? i would do anything -- anything for you . come here . tessa : it 's so beautiful up here . chelsea : thank you . yeah , the view never gets old . whoa ! noah : hey , dad . nick : yeah ? nick : props on cooking . it smells ... interesting . chelsea : oh ! nick : oh . you are hilarious . i 'd like to see you whip up something last - minute for the woman you love . chelsea : no , sit . sit . you 've done everything already . i can check on dinner . noah : she means fix your mistakes behind your back . nick : keep it up . just keep it up . chelsea : nick , can you open the wine , please ? nick : yeah , unless our bartender here is gon na insult my skills at that , too . noah : be careful . nick : there 's my girl . noah : kiddo ! come here ! faith : hey , noah . noah : hi ! faith : hi . noah : hey , this is my friend tessa . she is a musician . singer - songwriter , to be exact . and one day , you 're gon na pay $ 200 to see her in concert . tessa : no , no . not a chance . you -- you 'll get backstage passes for free . faith : [ chuckles ] tessa : noah 's told me a lot about you . noah : tessa is also living with mom and mariah . tessa : so i ca n't wait for us to hang out . noah : hey , how was it being at camp all summer ? faith : it was fun . noah : what 'd you do ? [ smoke alarm beeping ] nick : [ sighs ] kevin : you and nick -- certainly not the healthiest father - son relationship i 've ever heard of , but you do this , and it 's all over . victor : it 's already over , you know ? that is one thing my son and i can agree on . kevin : look , i 'm not a nick fan right now . if it were n't for him and chelsea , chloe would n't have had to fake her own death . she and i would be living here in genoa city , raising our kid , but relocating half - a - billion dollars ? you 're gon na be the first person he suspects , and i do n't know about you , but i 'd prefer not to spend the rest of my life in a federal penitentiary . victor : i do n't blame you . but if you do your job properly , he wo n't know anything happened . unless , of course , you feel that your skills have diminished somewhat and you 're are n't up to the job . kevin : oh , i can do it . victor : oh , yeah ? kevin : yeah . in fact , i can not think of anyone who can do it more successfully . victor : mm - hmm . kevin : but if word got out that i was involved ... victor : from who ? you and i are the only ones who know , right ? kevin : [ sighs ] okay . yeah . sure . i 'm in . sharon : oh , and check the supplies for morning rush before you lock up . thank you ! scott : ready ? sharon : very . noah needs a packed house to really impress the music promoter tonight . scott : i 'll just casually say how great tessa is to whomever is standing within earshot . sharon : that would be great . thank you . scott : yeah , it sounds like the two of them are doing well . sharon : who , noah and tessa ? scott : yeah . sharon : i guess so . i mean , i have really come to like her . my son 's happy . that makes me happy naturally . scott : how serious do you think they are ? sharon : well , i do n't think that tessa 's about to move out of my house and into noah 's . noah 's taking this slow , which i am very grateful for . scott : makes sense . guy seems like he 's got a good head on his shoulders and a lot on his plate with the underground expansion . sharon : plus , tessa 's preoccupied with her music and crystal . scott : yeah . there 's a long going on at casa de sharon . sharon : the best part is faith comes home to me tomorrow . it just feels like it 's been forever , and if everything works out , i think she might be ready to meet you . scott : well , that 's a big step for you , and for me , too . i 've dodged bullets in war zones and been held hostage , but meeting your daughter -- it 's , uh ... i mean , what if she does n't like me ? sharon : [ laughs ] scott : no , i 'm serious . sharon : she will ! it 's time that faith sees how important you are to me . chelsea : well , so much for perfumed pine cone night . nick : potpourri night . chelsea : oh . noah : more like burnt to a crisp night . nick : hey , who knew that broil was so fast ? next time -- noah : we will order pizza before you go into the kitchen . nick : you know , i could still go with the pancakes . chelsea : ooh ! connor , you love the pancakes , huh ? tessa : well , it must be nice to have two little brothers to boss around . nick : oh , um , christian is faith 's half - brother , and connor is her cousin . tessa : oh , uh , i did n't know that . faith : mm - hmm . do you have any brothers or sisters ? noah : uh , tessa has a younger sister . faith : that 's cool . where is she now ? noah : they 're from chicago . yeah , big city girls . that 's how cool they are . chelsea : you know what , faith , i could use some help with the dessert . do you want to come to the kitchen with me ? faith : yeah . chelsea : okay . thanks . noah : you okay ? she does n't mean anything by it . she 's just an inquisitive kid . tessa : yeah . nick : sorry if that was awkward . tessa : no , it 's fine . you 're lucky to have such an amazing family . nick : yeah . i really am . lily : dad moving home does not make everything go away . he fathered a child with another woman , a baby that 's gon na be in his life . mattie : it does n't have to be . he can write a check every month and move on . lily : i know that you want your old life back . but you 're forgetting something . mattie : what ? lily : me . what if taking your dad back is not what i want ? mattie : what are you saying ? you do n't love dad anymore ? it just went away ? lily : no , i did n't say that . mattie : why would you even go to marriage counseling if you do n't want to be with him ? lily : i went because i do n't know what i want . and the only way to figure things out is to talk it through , like what we 're doing . but making the right decision that benefits everyone , it takes time . [ doorbell rings ] and we 're not done here , okay ? jordan . hey . jordan : is this a bad time ? mattie : no , it 's perfect , actually . my mom made dinner reservations at the club , so you guys can go together , since that 's what she really wants . lily : mattie ! cane : all right , listen , we 've been over this , and you know that my family is my priority . juliet : sure . but you 've been to doctors ' appointments with me , you were just as worried as i was that the baby might have cystic fibrosis . you ca n't deny that you 've been acting like a full - time father to our child . cane : all right , listen , mattie , charlie , and lily have to be my focus . juliet : i 'm not saying i expect you around 24/7 , but it looked like you were taking responsibility for this baby . cane : i am . juliet : i think you and i might have different interpretations of what that means . cane , our son has to at least know that his father loves him and wants only the best for him . but it sounds like you wo n't have the same love for this child as you do for mattie and charlie . `` the young and the restless `` will continue . lily : yeah , i 'm sorry we ca n't take the table . okay . thank you . bye . jordan : i should have called first or come by at a better time . i 'm sorry . lily : there 's no such thing as a better time lately . [ sighs ] mattie still ca n't understand why i 'm not ready to take cane back . jordan : because she thinks that there 's something between us . lily : she does n't realize that loving someone and forgiving them are two different things . i do n't know if i 'll ever be able to forgive what cane did to us . i keep running into juliet , and all she can do is talk about her pregnancy and the child that she 's having with my husband . and i 'm polite to her , but really , i 'm screaming inside because she 's getting to carry cane 's child when i never could . jordan : what are you talking about ? lily : i had ovarian cancer , and i was fortunate enough to save some of my eggs , so mattie and charlie are biological mine , but a surrogate carried them . and now this random woman is getting to carry cane 's child , something that ... i never did and never will . jordan : look , lily , you ca n't think like that . cane loves you . he does n't care if you can get pregnant or not . lily : it 's not about him . it 's about me . i 'll never get to feel what juliet is feeling . jordan : which is only happening because he screwed up , and he lied to you and then he lied again . none of this is on you , okay ? lily : i know , and i 'm really trying to get past it . but i still want to do the right thing for my family . cane : i know i 've given you mixed messages , okay ? but despite the circumstances , there is a part of me that ca n't help being affected by the fact that i 'm having another child . a son . juliet : and the other part ? cane : the other part feels like i now have to choose between my family and this baby . juliet : this baby is your family , too . he 'll be the center of my universe . he will know exactly what unconditional love feels like . whatever it takes , i will never let him feel less than or unworthy of love or that he 's just not that important or special ... cane : listen , i 'll never make this baby feel like -- juliet : i got it covered , cane . i ca n't put our son 's life on pause until you 're ready to be a part of it , and when it 's time , i will make sure he has everything he could possibly need -- toys , crib , stroller ... and as far as names , i have that under control , too . it 's between algernon or wilbur . cane : [ chuckles ] you 're not being serious , are you ? juliet : algernon was my great - grandfather 's name , and wilbur was my grandmother 's maiden name . maybe i 'll honor them both and name him wilbur algernon . cane : all right , okay , just hang on a second . there 's no way that i 'm gon na call my son wilbur algernon . it 's just not gon na happen . juliet : gotcha . cane : [ laughs ] juliet : you ca n't have it both ways , cane . either you step back or you step up . mariah : so , is he here ? the music promoter ? devon : i have not seen him . mariah : he better not bail , 'cause if does , i 'm gon na ... devon : what , track him down ? mariah : yes . actually , yes , i will , because tessa is so excited . and i know that she likes to keep her emotions under the radar , but i think she really , really wants to impress him . and how amazing would it be if he books her for your streaming service ? devon : i know . it definitely would n't hurt . but how about we put work on hold for the time being ? mariah : what is so important that you want to change the subject ? devon : i want to talk about my favorite topic , which is you . mariah : that 's so funny because that happens to be my favorite topic . devon : really ? sharon : um , hope we 're not interrupting ... devon : hey , guys . mariah : hey ! you made it ! scott : how you doing , man ? sharon : yeah , we 're here to cheer tessa on ! scott : yeah , devon , i was hoping to get a second with you . i 'd like to do a profile on the hamilton - winters group for hashtag . devon : yeah . yeah . absolutely . that 'd be cool . i 'll put you in touch with my pr people , and you can set something up . scott : perfect . mariah : hi . sharon : so , it looks like you two made up and worked things out . mariah : yeah . devon made it clear that he wants me . nobody else . sharon : i can see that . and i 'm really happy for you . i 'm glad things worked out . mariah : me , too . noah : hey ! what happened ? i thought we were gon na do our thing , you know , where you talk my ear off . what 's up ? what 's going on ? faith : grandpa lied to me . i thought dad left the ranch on his own , but grandpa made him . i was mad at the wrong person . noah : right . listen , things are , um , a little complicated with dad and grandpa right now , you know ? i 'm sure they just did n't want to upset you and make you feel like you were caught in the middle . faith : then grandpa should n't have lied to me . noah : you 're right . i 'm sorry that he did that . but it 's important to remember that he loves you and sometimes adults make mistakes . you know , you 're gon na find that out more and more the older you get . grown - ups are not perfect . faith : i thought grandpa was . chelsea : okay , can everybody grab your lemonade , please ? i would like to make a toast . nick : [ groans ] do n't tell me this is for the pizza delivery guy . chelsea : no . it is to nick and to noah . we are going to miss you while you are out there being movers and shakers . nick : well , he is the mover . i 'm the shaker , and i can prove that if need be . noah : no ! no takers . chelsea : [ giggles ] well , i just want to say , i 'm really proud of you both , and i 'm so excited for this second branch of the underground . so ... to fathers and sons ... faith : and dads and daughters . chelsea : cheers . devon : hey ! noah : hi . devon : you 're a man of your word . you got my star here on time . noah : of course . mariah : how 'd the big family dinner go ? tessa : uh , it was great . i mean , we had pizza and i met faith , and she 's beyond adorable . mariah : i love that kid . noah : i think she really likes tessa . i could tell . tessa : you think ? mariah : oh , no . no , no , no . faith does not fake it . noah : mnh - mnh . tessa : well , it was a perfect way to prepare the show . it was very chill . but now i got to tune up . noah : go ! get up there ! we 'll be your cheering section ! tessa : okay . devon : yeah . mariah : the whole club will be your cheering section . devon : just do your thing tonight , tessa . that 's all you need , all right ? tessa : okay . thanks . devon : hey , he 's here . hey , irv . irv : ah . devon . good to see you again . devon : how you doing ? good to see you , too . noah . noah : great . glad to see you . glad you could make it . um , this is mariah . she was at the festival . you guys did n't get a chance to meet . mariah : i 'm glad we can meet now . irv : this is my girlfriend , natalia . natalia : hi . devon : pleasure to meet you . thank you guys for coming . i really do appreciate it , you know ? tessa 's song is moving all the goalposts on our streaming service , and we 're about to get her into the studio soon to record a full ep . noah : she 's debuting a song tonight . irv : yeah , i heard her first track . liked it a lot . enough to check her out live on my way to chicago . noah : well , it 's worth the stop . and you have a table reserved for you whenever you 're ready . irv : lead the way . noah : all right . devon : have a good time . mariah : i am glad that he said that she was his girlfriend because i was thinking that maybe it was bring your daughter to work day . devon : well , welcome to the music industry . mariah : what , are you gon na trade me in for a younger , hotter model ? devon : you are the younger , hotter model . mariah : oh , that was the right answer . nick : man , those boys love you so much , and i know they like your version of `` the three little pigs `` way more than they like chelsea 's . but do n't tell her i said that , all right ? are you , uh , excited to go to your mom 's tomorrow ? faith : i guess . nick : you nervous about seeing your grandpa ? well , you do n't have to be , you know . yeah , he did n't want me to live on the ranch , but i know he loves you very much . faith : then do i have to see him ? nick : faith , i 'm not gon na make you do anything you do n't want to do , and neither is your mom . so if you 're still upset , you know , that 's okay . and if you want to forgive him , you know , that 's not gon na hurt my feelings . what happens between me and my father has nothing to do with you . so you do what you feel . you 're a big girl now . i 'm gon na let you make this decision for yourself . faith : i love you , dad . nick : i love you . kevin : did n't realize the job came with dinner . nice perk . victor : [ laughing ] yeah . it was good dinner , was n't it ? i always feel that plans should be made on a full stomach , you know ? so , how do you plan to access nicholas ' account ? kevin : hmm , well , i do n't think he 's gon na fall for a phishing scheme , so i 'm gon na have to figure out another way in . victor : whatever equipment and funds you need , i 'll give to you . kevin : what is your time frame on severing your relationship with your son ... victor : no time frame at all . make sure you do it right . kevin : victor , you do n't think this plan is a little over the top ? like , whatever you think nick did , maybe it 's not that terrible . victor : let me decide that , okay ? kevin : i remember when nick was the good son and you had this kind of war with adam . victor : yeah . yeah , i remember those days , as well . but now nicholas is turning my grandchildren against me , and no one does that and gets away with it . kevin : right . kids need their grandparents . victor : mm - hmm . kevin : victor , from what i 've seen , you 've been amazing with nick , with all of your children , and i know from terrible fathers . nick is gon na regret turning his back on you . victor : that he will . and i 've reached a point where i do n't care . jordan : no decision you make about your marriage should only be about your kids . if you 're not happy , no one will be . lily : mattie would disagree . jordan : well , mattie is a teenager . when she looks at you , she sees mom , not a person with her own life . lily : yeah , but i am mom . my main job is to do what 's best for my kids . that 's why i agreed to see a marriage counselor with cane . jordan : that 's the only reason why ? for mattie and charlie ? not for you and cane ? lily : truth is ... even if we work through our issues ... i think this baby will have a stronger pull on him than he realizes . cane : [ sighs ] i 'm sorry , but winthrop is not a name . juliet : of course it 's a name . cane : well , it 's not a name that anyone actually wants to call their kid . juliet : algernon 's looking better and better , is n't it ? cane : hey , our kid deserves a decent name . look , you know what , our kid deserves a decent everything . i 'm sorry . i 'm sorry for the way i was before . juliet : i know this has been hard on you . cane : yeah , well , it 's been hard on both of us , has n't it ? devon : hey , guys . scott : hey . devon : so , the promoter showed up , and if you 'd do me a favor , maybe mention how much you like tessa 's song afterwards . it 'd be great . sharon : well , scott 's ready to go full - gush . scott : with the utmost enthusiasm . devon : awesome . irv : you are even more beautiful than your photos on the app .

[ next_on ] hilary : once you pop out that baby , his interest in you will disappear . juliet : agh !

'cause if it is , let me just say , the baby has been craving mu shu . cane : come on . juliet : wow . beautiful place . cane : yeah , um , my step - mom 's letting me stay here till i figure things out at home . juliet : well , i do n't know about you , but the baby and i are starving . cane : well , dig in . juliet : what about you ? okay , look , i know you 're preoccupied with lily , but you 'll have more marriage counseling sessions . cane : well , i told you how she was when she left , and , uh , you know , gauging from that , i think that will be the first and the last session , so ... tessa : so , if irv likes what he hears , he 'll book me as an opening act at all of the places he handles , coast to coast . mariah : he is going to fall in love with you . as a singer . tessa : well , we 'll see ! mariah : what ? no ! you should be so pumped about this ! tessa : i ca n't help but feel a little guilty . i mean , selfish , even . i 'm focusing on my career , and i still am no closer to finding out where my sister is . mariah : look , putting your dreams and aspirations aside ... that 's not gon na help you find crystal any faster . tessa : thank you . for always being in my corner . mariah : hey . i am your biggest fan . besides , um ... besides noah , that is . tessa : yeah . [ laughs ] [ doorbell rings ] mariah : oh ! one second . devon : damn ! mariah : [ laughs ] tessa : ah ! told ya ! 20 ! devon : hi ! mariah : hi . tessa : hi ! noah : and you , looking great , as always . tessa : thank you . so ... noah : you ready for tonight ? tessa : yeah ! new song 's ready to go . noah : good . tessa : if you like what you hear , i 'd like to lay it down the next time we 're at the studio . devon : oh , absolutely . i ca n't wait to hear it . what do you guys say we get going to the underground ? noah : uh , i 'm gon na have to meet you there . dad called for a family dinner tonight with our side and chelsea 's kids , so i hope that 's okay . tessa : oh , yeah . totally . i mean , i can catch a ride with you guys , right ? noah : uh , actually , i meant i hope that it 's okay we stop there before the club . tessa : oh , but i 'm not family . noah : well , that does n't mean you 're not an important part of my life . mariah : that counts . tessa : well , then , yeah . yeah , i 'd love to go . noah : okay . let 's do this . i will have her to the club in time to meet our new pal , irv . devon : you better ! tessa : oh , yeah ! do n't worry . devon : all right . mariah : bye , guys ! devon : see you , guys . mariah : hi . devon : hi . i was hoping to have some alone time with you tonight , even if it was just for a little while . mariah : mm . what did you have in mind ? nick : okay , i know that you are worried that victor 's gon na swoop in and cause some trouble while i 'm out of town , but i can not cancel this trip with noah just because i 'm afraid of what he might do to get back at me for telling faith that he kicked me off the ranch . chelsea : nor do i expect you to . i just -- i resent the fact that he 's taking up space in my brain , you know ? nick : do n't let him , okay ? do n't let him you got to boot that out of your mind . all right ? he 's gon na do whatever he 's gon na do . it 's not gon na change a thing . look , i got the woman that i love , i have a great kids , and i have a business that i can not wait to expand with my son . chelsea : you really like the sound of that , do n't you ? nick : i 'm just fired up that my son wants to do something like this with me . and he also wants to spend time with me outside of work . that 's something my dad and i will never have because he 's so dead - set on controlling every aspect of my life . victor : nicholas fired his financial advisor and then moved his account to a bank that none of the other newmans use . kevin : oh . so you want me to use my skills to hack into his account . victor : oh , whoa , whoa , whoa . access , okay ? kevin : access his account . victor : yes . then you transfer it into my account . kevin : all of it ? victor : no . just the money that he won in the lawsuit against me -- 500 million buckaroos . kevin : that kind of money is n't gon na be lying around in a checking account ! i 'm sure he has it tied up in some long - term investments . victor : that 's why you will go into the account , turn those investments into cash , and transfer them into my account . kevin : [ sighs ] you know this is a felony , right ? i mean , the first firewall breach , the feds are gon na be in my face in a big way . victor : it 's not the first time that you 've broken the law . are you telling me you ca n't do it or you wo n't do it ? lily : [ sighs ] mattie , look ... i do n't know where your dad and i will end up , but we will always ... mattie : love me and charlie and always want the best for us . lily : and it 's true . that 's why we went to counseling , for you and charlie . so that we could figure out a future where family comes first . mattie : which means dad comes home . lily : sounds like that 's what you want . mattie : i hate what dad did . i always will . but maybe if he comes home , he wo n't be so uptight and self - righteous . he 'd be old , fun dad . lily : meaning he 'd let you see reed . mattie , even if i take your dad back , it does n't mean that his issues with victoria will go away , or his problems with reed . mattie : dad overreacting to reed is a result of him not living here anymore . lily : or maybe it 's because his children are n't talking to him . look , even if i take your dad back , will you be able to forgive him for everything that happened before you started dating reed ? mattie : if it meant our family could go back to the way it once was ... lily : mattie , i 'm not sure if that can happen . cane : you know , there 's one more egg roll left . juliet : mm ! oh ! no , i can't . mmm . the baby and i are both too full . let me help clean this up . cane : no , no . stop . no , you -- you cooked . i 'll clean . juliet : mmm . division of labor . i like it . but just fyi , this really is my idea of cooking . cane : yeah , well , i make a mean aussie waffle . it 's a , uh , back - to - school tradition . as well as taking charlie to get his sports gear before the season starts and mattie out for ice cream after she aces her first exam of the semester . but i do n't think that 's gon na happen this year . juliet : they 're teens . they all pull away at this age no matter what you do . but you 'll be home soon and things will get easier . cane : you 're an optimist . juliet : i 've been called worse . cane : this is true . juliet : hey , look at that ! you smiled and your face did n't crack . progress . cane : yeah . juliet : and that 's progress , too . which is good , since we 'll be raising a child together . have you changed your mind about that ? sharon : you 've been doing a lot of research on sex trafficking rings . scott : yeah , and most of the women were young and naive . many of them runaways who have been lured here by offers of legitimate jobs . but then before you know it , the girls are trapped . they 're hooked on drugs . they 're told they have to turn tricks to pay for their habit or for their room and board . it 's indentured servitude . sharon : i hate that it still goes on , but what does everything that you 've researched and put together have to do with crystal ? scott : i 'll track some of the women from my research and see if i can convince them to talk , you know ? maybe one of them has met crystal . maybe one will recognize a pic of alice and tie her to the sex trade once and for all . sharon : what if word gets out that we 're looking for crystal again ? or if word gets back to alice that i 'm involved ? scott : you know , being cautious is one of the things i do . sharon : i just -- i love it that you 're trying to help , but if something happened to you or to crystal , i -- i ca n't have that , scott . scott : listen , i hear you . i just -- i need to finish this series on sex trafficking . sharon : yeah . okay . yeah . do that . whatever it takes to help girls like crystal . i mean , if even one of them ended up calling the crisis hotline , that would be worth it . but i just need you safe . with your laptop , not with criminals . please say you understand that . scott : do n't you get it by now ? i would do anything -- anything for you . come here . tessa : it 's so beautiful up here . chelsea : thank you . yeah , the view never gets old . whoa ! noah : hey , dad . nick : yeah ? nick : props on cooking . it smells ... interesting . chelsea : oh ! nick : oh . you are hilarious . i 'd like to see you whip up something last - minute for the woman you love . chelsea : no , sit . sit . you 've done everything already . i can check on dinner . noah : she means fix your mistakes behind your back . nick : keep it up . just keep it up . chelsea : nick , can you open the wine , please ? nick : yeah , unless our bartender here is gon na insult my skills at that , too . noah : be careful . nick : there 's my girl . noah : kiddo ! come here ! faith : hey , noah . noah : hi ! faith : hi . noah : hey , this is my friend tessa . she is a musician . singer - songwriter , to be exact . and one day , you 're gon na pay $ 200 to see her in concert . tessa : no , no . not a chance . you -- you 'll get backstage passes for free . faith : [ chuckles ] tessa : noah 's told me a lot about you . noah : tessa is also living with mom and mariah . tessa : so i ca n't wait for us to hang out . noah : hey , how was it being at camp all summer ? faith : it was fun . noah : what 'd you do ? [ smoke alarm beeping ] nick : [ sighs ] kevin : you and nick -- certainly not the healthiest father - son relationship i 've ever heard of , but you do this , and it 's all over . victor : it 's already over , you know ? that is one thing my son and i can agree on . kevin : look , i 'm not a nick fan right now . if it were n't for him and chelsea , chloe would n't have had to fake her own death . she and i would be living here in genoa city , raising our kid , but relocating half - a - billion dollars ? you 're gon na be the first person he suspects , and i do n't know about you , but i 'd prefer not to spend the rest of my life in a federal penitentiary . victor : i do n't blame you . but if you do your job properly , he wo n't know anything happened . unless , of course , you feel that your skills have diminished somewhat and you 're are n't up to the job . kevin : oh , i can do it . victor : oh , yeah ? kevin : yeah . in fact , i can not think of anyone who can do it more successfully . victor : mm - hmm . kevin : but if word got out that i was involved ... victor : from who ? you and i are the only ones who know , right ? kevin : [ sighs ] okay . yeah . sure . i 'm in . sharon : oh , and check the supplies for morning rush before you lock up . thank you ! scott : ready ? sharon : very . noah needs a packed house to really impress the music promoter tonight . scott : i 'll just casually say how great tessa is to whomever is standing within earshot . sharon : that would be great . thank you . scott : yeah , it sounds like the two of them are doing well . sharon : who , noah and tessa ? scott : yeah . sharon : i guess so . i mean , i have really come to like her . my son 's happy . that makes me happy naturally . scott : how serious do you think they are ? sharon : well , i do n't think that tessa 's about to move out of my house and into noah 's . noah 's taking this slow , which i am very grateful for . scott : makes sense . guy seems like he 's got a good head on his shoulders and a lot on his plate with the underground expansion . sharon : plus , tessa 's preoccupied with her music and crystal . scott : yeah . there 's a long going on at casa de sharon . sharon : the best part is faith comes home to me tomorrow . it just feels like it 's been forever , and if everything works out , i think she might be ready to meet you . scott : well , that 's a big step for you , and for me , too . i 've dodged bullets in war zones and been held hostage , but meeting your daughter -- it 's , uh ... i mean , what if she does n't like me ? sharon : [ laughs ] scott : no , i 'm serious . sharon : she will ! it 's time that faith sees how important you are to me . chelsea : well , so much for perfumed pine cone night . nick : potpourri night . chelsea : oh . noah : more like burnt to a crisp night . nick : hey , who knew that broil was so fast ? next time -- noah : we will order pizza before you go into the kitchen . nick : you know , i could still go with the pancakes . chelsea : ooh ! connor , you love the pancakes , huh ? tessa : well , it must be nice to have two little brothers to boss around . nick : oh , um , christian is faith 's half - brother , and connor is her cousin . tessa : oh , uh , i did n't know that . faith : mm - hmm . do you have any brothers or sisters ? noah : uh , tessa has a younger sister . faith : that 's cool . where is she now ? noah : they 're from chicago . yeah , big city girls . that 's how cool they are . chelsea : you know what , faith , i could use some help with the dessert . do you want to come to the kitchen with me ? faith : yeah . chelsea : okay . thanks . noah : you okay ? she does n't mean anything by it . she 's just an inquisitive kid . tessa : yeah . nick : sorry if that was awkward . tessa : no , it 's fine . you 're lucky to have such an amazing family . nick : yeah . i really am . lily : dad moving home does not make everything go away . he fathered a child with another woman , a baby that 's gon na be in his life . mattie : it does n't have to be . he can write a check every month and move on . lily : i know that you want your old life back . but you 're forgetting something . mattie : what ? lily : me . what if taking your dad back is not what i want ? mattie : what are you saying ? you do n't love dad anymore ? it just went away ? lily : no , i did n't say that . mattie : why would you even go to marriage counseling if you do n't want to be with him ? lily : i went because i do n't know what i want . and the only way to figure things out is to talk it through , like what we 're doing . but making the right decision that benefits everyone , it takes time . [ doorbell rings ] and we 're not done here , okay ? jordan . hey . jordan : is this a bad time ? mattie : no , it 's perfect , actually . my mom made dinner reservations at the club , so you guys can go together , since that 's what she really wants . lily : mattie ! cane : all right , listen , we 've been over this , and you know that my family is my priority . juliet : sure . but you 've been to doctors ' appointments with me , you were just as worried as i was that the baby might have cystic fibrosis . you ca n't deny that you 've been acting like a full - time father to our child . cane : all right , listen , mattie , charlie , and lily have to be my focus . juliet : i 'm not saying i expect you around 24/7 , but it looked like you were taking responsibility for this baby . cane : i am . juliet : i think you and i might have different interpretations of what that means . cane , our son has to at least know that his father loves him and wants only the best for him . but it sounds like you wo n't have the same love for this child as you do for mattie and charlie . `` the young and the restless `` will continue . lily : yeah , i 'm sorry we ca n't take the table . okay . thank you . bye . jordan : i should have called first or come by at a better time . i 'm sorry . lily : there 's no such thing as a better time lately . [ sighs ] mattie still ca n't understand why i 'm not ready to take cane back . jordan : because she thinks that there 's something between us . lily : she does n't realize that loving someone and forgiving them are two different things . i do n't know if i 'll ever be able to forgive what cane did to us . i keep running into juliet , and all she can do is talk about her pregnancy and the child that she 's having with my husband . and i 'm polite to her , but really , i 'm screaming inside because she 's getting to carry cane 's child when i never could . jordan : what are you talking about ? lily : i had ovarian cancer , and i was fortunate enough to save some of my eggs , so mattie and charlie are biological mine , but a surrogate carried them . and now this random woman is getting to carry cane 's child , something that ... i never did and never will . jordan : look , lily , you ca n't think like that . cane loves you . he does n't care if you can get pregnant or not . lily : it 's not about him . it 's about me . i 'll never get to feel what juliet is feeling . jordan : which is only happening because he screwed up , and he lied to you and then he lied again . none of this is on you , okay ? lily : i know , and i 'm really trying to get past it . but i still want to do the right thing for my family . cane : i know i 've given you mixed messages , okay ? but despite the circumstances , there is a part of me that ca n't help being affected by the fact that i 'm having another child . a son . juliet : and the other part ? cane : the other part feels like i now have to choose between my family and this baby . juliet : this baby is your family , too . he 'll be the center of my universe . he will know exactly what unconditional love feels like . whatever it takes , i will never let him feel less than or unworthy of love or that he 's just not that important or special ... cane : listen , i 'll never make this baby feel like -- juliet : i got it covered , cane . i ca n't put our son 's life on pause until you 're ready to be a part of it , and when it 's time , i will make sure he has everything he could possibly need -- toys , crib , stroller ... and as far as names , i have that under control , too . it 's between algernon or wilbur . cane : [ chuckles ] you 're not being serious , are you ? juliet : algernon was my great - grandfather 's name , and wilbur was my grandmother 's maiden name . maybe i 'll honor them both and name him wilbur algernon . cane : all right , okay , just hang on a second . there 's no way that i 'm gon na call my son wilbur algernon . it 's just not gon na happen . juliet : gotcha . cane : [ laughs ] juliet : you ca n't have it both ways , cane . either you step back or you step up . mariah : so , is he here ? the music promoter ? devon : i have not seen him . mariah : he better not bail , 'cause if does , i 'm gon na ... devon : what , track him down ? mariah : yes . actually , yes , i will , because tessa is so excited . and i know that she likes to keep her emotions under the radar , but i think she really , really wants to impress him . and how amazing would it be if he books her for your streaming service ? devon : i know . it definitely would n't hurt . but how about we put work on hold for the time being ? mariah : what is so important that you want to change the subject ? devon : i want to talk about my favorite topic , which is you . mariah : that 's so funny because that happens to be my favorite topic . devon : really ? sharon : um , hope we 're not interrupting ... devon : hey , guys . mariah : hey ! you made it ! scott : how you doing , man ? sharon : yeah , we 're here to cheer tessa on ! scott : yeah , devon , i was hoping to get a second with you . i 'd like to do a profile on the hamilton - winters group for hashtag . devon : yeah . yeah . absolutely . that 'd be cool . i 'll put you in touch with my pr people , and you can set something up . scott : perfect . mariah : hi . sharon : so , it looks like you two made up and worked things out . mariah : yeah . devon made it clear that he wants me . nobody else . sharon : i can see that . and i 'm really happy for you . i 'm glad things worked out . mariah : me , too . noah : hey ! what happened ? i thought we were gon na do our thing , you know , where you talk my ear off . what 's up ? what 's going on ? faith : grandpa lied to me . i thought dad left the ranch on his own , but grandpa made him . i was mad at the wrong person . noah : right . listen , things are , um , a little complicated with dad and grandpa right now , you know ? i 'm sure they just did n't want to upset you and make you feel like you were caught in the middle . faith : then grandpa should n't have lied to me . noah : you 're right . i 'm sorry that he did that . but it 's important to remember that he loves you and sometimes adults make mistakes . you know , you 're gon na find that out more and more the older you get . grown - ups are not perfect . faith : i thought grandpa was . chelsea : okay , can everybody grab your lemonade , please ? i would like to make a toast . nick : [ groans ] do n't tell me this is for the pizza delivery guy . chelsea : no . it is to nick and to noah . we are going to miss you while you are out there being movers and shakers . nick : well , he is the mover . i 'm the shaker , and i can prove that if need be . noah : no ! no takers . chelsea : [ giggles ] well , i just want to say , i 'm really proud of you both , and i 'm so excited for this second branch of the underground . so ... to fathers and sons ... faith : and dads and daughters . chelsea : cheers . devon : hey ! noah : hi . devon : you 're a man of your word . you got my star here on time . noah : of course . mariah : how 'd the big family dinner go ? tessa : uh , it was great . i mean , we had pizza and i met faith , and she 's beyond adorable . mariah : i love that kid . noah : i think she really likes tessa . i could tell . tessa : you think ? mariah : oh , no . no , no , no . faith does not fake it . noah : mnh - mnh . tessa : well , it was a perfect way to prepare the show . it was very chill . but now i got to tune up . noah : go ! get up there ! we 'll be your cheering section ! tessa : okay . devon : yeah . mariah : the whole club will be your cheering section . devon : just do your thing tonight , tessa . that 's all you need , all right ? tessa : okay . thanks . devon : hey , he 's here . hey , irv . irv : ah . devon . good to see you again . devon : how you doing ? good to see you , too . noah . noah : great . glad to see you . glad you could make it . um , this is mariah . she was at the festival . you guys did n't get a chance to meet . mariah : i 'm glad we can meet now . irv : this is my girlfriend , natalia . natalia : hi . devon : pleasure to meet you . thank you guys for coming . i really do appreciate it , you know ? tessa 's song is moving all the goalposts on our streaming service , and we 're about to get her into the studio soon to record a full ep . noah : she 's debuting a song tonight . irv : yeah , i heard her first track . liked it a lot . enough to check her out live on my way to chicago . noah : well , it 's worth the stop . and you have a table reserved for you whenever you 're ready . irv : lead the way . noah : all right . devon : have a good time . mariah : i am glad that he said that she was his girlfriend because i was thinking that maybe it was bring your daughter to work day . devon : well , welcome to the music industry . mariah : what , are you gon na trade me in for a younger , hotter model ? devon : you are the younger , hotter model . mariah : oh , that was the right answer . nick : man , those boys love you so much , and i know they like your version of `` the three little pigs `` way more than they like chelsea 's . but do n't tell her i said that , all right ? are you , uh , excited to go to your mom 's tomorrow ? faith : i guess . nick : you nervous about seeing your grandpa ? well , you do n't have to be , you know . yeah , he did n't want me to live on the ranch , but i know he loves you very much . faith : then do i have to see him ?

bill : yeah , sort of . bill : sort of ? jeffrey : well , we went in business together to bring down spaulding . jeffrey : phillip spaulding ? bill : no , his company . see , it was one of the goals of my company to prevent spaulding from taking over springfield . in fact , i have a document right here that will even .... judge : mr. lewis , it 's not your responsibility to introduce evidence into this court . bill : sorry . i just thought .... judge : mr. o'neill ? jeffrey : thank you , your honor . mr. lewis , do you consider yourself a friend of the defendant ? bill : yes . jeffrey : as a friend , would you say that the defendant became obsessed with taking down philip spaulding ? bill : no , not at all . jeffrey : not at all ? yet she created this whole alternate personality to get closer to phillip ? bill : ruth ? jeffrey : that 's right , ruth karloff . bill : no , that was me . that was my idea . jeffrey : mr. lewis , are you lying to the court to protect your friend ? bill : mr. o'neill , i 'm not lying at all . in fact , i have a sketch right here of what she was supposed to look like early on . judge : mr. lewis ... bill : in fact , i even have the glasses i was going to wear because i was the one who was going to go undercover . it was all me . excuse me , mr . oh neil , you look quite well . mr. spaulding , i ... judge : baliff , seize those items . bill : one crumpet , that 's all i ask for . judge : mr. lewis , one more stunt like that and i 'd hold you in contempt of court . bill : i 'm sorry , your honor . i thought if there was a visual aid for the people ... jeffrey : it 's all right , your honor . i have one more questmon for mr . lewis . bill , were you aware that your friend harley disguised herself as ruth karloff the night that philip spaulding was murdered ? bill : , no , but i ... jeffrey : it would be safe to say harley could have developed an obsession with philip and you did n't know about it . gus : he 's leading the witness . jeffrey : i withdraw . no further questions , your honor . judge : mr. aitoro ? gus : mr. lewis , the prosecution would like us to believe that miss cooper is a blood thirsty ex - wife was obsessed with her ex - husband , phillip spaulding . are you saying that that is not true ? bill : that is not true . it 's not . like i said , i came up with the identity , i gave contacts . it was me . it was all me . in fact , she was feeling vulnerable and i took advantage of that . gus : so let me get this straight : the scam to get philip spaulding , this was your idea and your 's alone ? bill : yes , yes , it was . in fact , harley was quite reluctant to do it . gus : i see . and are there any witnesses to her reluctance ? bill : yes . yes . my wife . olivia spencer lewis . michelle : see , marina , i 'm happy with the way my life is now and i just do n't need the look back . marina : are you afraid ?

michelle : not really . i 'm moved on and so has danny . marina : okay . michelle : i do n't know why this is so hard for you to understand . i have tony and danny has you . marina : michelle , i told you ... michelle : right , right . you told me . you told me . but you 're obviously in love with him . otherwise , you would n't be here . marina : this is n't about me . michelle : yeah . yeah , it is . it 's about all of us . robbie : mommy ! michelle : hey ! hi . how was your day at pre - school ?

bill : i gave my version of the truth . harley : because i was so reluctant to put on that wig and that fake nose . bill : well i guess you remember things one way and i remember them another . harley : really ? how will olivia remember them ? bill : she 'll remember it the right way . alan : well , i 'm the next prosecution witness . gus : yeah . i 'm aware of that . and i 'm ready for you , okay , big al ? cross- examinations are us . alan : get unready , because there 's not going to be any questions . gus : you 're dreaming . alan : you do n't understand , gus . when i get on the stand , you 're going to rise and tell the judge you have no questions . gus : hmm , why would i do that ? alan : because if you do n't , i 'm going to have the disbarment hearing moved up and you wo n't be able to defend harley . your choice .

[ footsteps approaching ] well , there you are . where have you been ? carly : do n't you read the paper ? maxie confessed to murder . she 's been in lockup since robin 's funeral . kate : oh , i forgot . i was focused on other things . carly : oh . johnny ? kate : excuse me ? carly : care to explain your little visit to his apartment ? kate : what are you talking about ? why would i ever go to johnny 's apartment ? johnny : are you here to accuse me of trying to kill dante again ? you 're wasting both of our time . sonny : you say you did n't do it . i believe you . i 'm here to talk about kate . dante : have a seat . anthony : oh , that 's very kind of you , detective . you seem surprised to see me here . or maybe you 're just surprised to see me alive . dante : you fled the scene of an accident . anthony : i had reason to fear for my life . dante : where have you been hiding out all this time ? anthony : `` where `` is n't nearly as important as `` why . `` that wreck was no accident . your father tried to take me out . killed two innocent people instead . sam : you again . john : hi . sam : hi . uh , w - what -- what are you doing here ? john : oh , i was just nowhere near your neighborhood . thought i 'd come by and have a little chat with your husband . hey , did you guys work things out ? jason : what 's going on ? if there was a pill sonny : stay away from kate . johnny : that 's not a problem . i 'm not interested . sonny : i know kate was here . carly already told me . johnny : oh , that 's cute how the two of you keep the channel of communication open . sonny : why was she here , johnny ? johnny : ask her . sonny : i 'm asking you . connie : come on . i got so much more to offer , johnny . and you can get sonny 's heart on a platter , which is what you want . sonny : why was she here ? johnny : why else , sonny ? it was about you . kate : look , carly , if you have a point , let 's get to it , shall we ? my time is valuable , and you know the way out . carly : are you seriously gon na pretend like you did n't show up last night to johnny 's apartment ? kate : last night ? carly : i was there when you were accusing johnny of planting that gun here in your office . ewen : the blackouts you 've been experiencing , the gaps in time , it 's possible that you 've been doing these things as someone else , which is why you , kate , do n't remember doing them . kate : all right . we have established i was at johnny 's last night . what concern of that is yours ? carly : sonny seemed concerned . kate : sonny ? carly : you had to know i 'd tell him . anthony : suddenly , i see brights in my rearview . someone 's behind me chasing me down . dante : so you sped up ? anthony : [ chuckling ] hell yes . that 's when i heard the gunshots . dante : how many ? anthony : what do you mean ? dante : well , you said -- you said you heard gunshots . so how many ? i mean , you have such perfect recall for what happened that night . anthony : who counts when someone 's shooting ? but i know for sure two of them hit . they blew out my rear tires . i lost control of my car . next thing i know ... [ imitates explosion ] dante : when did you see the oncoming car ? anthony : i do n't know . that part happened so fast . those poor kids did n't stand a chance . miracle i walked away . dante : yeah , that 's -- that 's a real miracle . anthony : i doubt i 'll be so fortunate the next time . that 's why i 'm here . i want police protection from sonny corinthos . dante : do you have proof that sonny 's the one who tried to kill you that night ? elizabeth : maxie had a complete meltdown at robin 's funeral . she insisted that the explosion was her fault , and when no one believed her , she then confessed to killing lisa niles . ewen : i thought the police had already solved dr. niles ' murder . elizabeth : yeah , they did , but maxie said that the first mate is innocent and she 's the real killer . ewen : guilt and grief can be powerful motivations . elizabeth : and now spinelli wants me to help him clear her name . he thinks i might have seen something on the boat that night before lisa threw me overboard . ewen : did you ? elizabeth : i do n't remember much of that night . i - i told you . i do n't even know who pulled me out of the water . ewen : i think i can help you with that . it was me . jason : can i help you ? john : how you doing ? i 'm john mcbain with the llanview , pennsylvania , police department . you jason morgan ? jason : you already know who i am . john : yeah . mind if i ask you a couple questions ? sam : hey , um , come on , really . he was just released from the hospital from a very serious surgery -- jason : no , it 's -- it 's okay , sam . sam : jason , i do n't think -- jason : come on in . john : thanks . patrick : my wife 's in a box ? yes , sir . i - if you would n't mind signing . patrick : thank you . i - i 'm sorry for your loss . patrick : thanks , man . emma : daddy ? what do you mean , mommy 's in the box ? you said mommy was in heaven . patrick : she is in heaven , baby . she 's up there right now looking down on us , making sure we 're okay . emma : but you asked the man if mommy 's in the box . patrick : yeah . um -- this is a little difficult to understand , probably just as difficult to explain , but -- see , mommy could n't take everything with her to heaven , so that 's what 's in the box . emma : can i see ? patrick : do n't you have a tea party with butterscotch and the koalas to get to ? are n't they -- are n't they waiting for you ? emma : we want you to play with us . patrick : you do ? okay . i 'll come and play with you . you pour me some tea , and i 'll come and meet you over there , okay ? emma : promise ? patrick : yes , baby . i promise . elizabeth : you 're the one who pulled me out of the water that night ? ewen : i carried you to the shore . elizabeth : i do n't understand . what were you doing on spoon island ? ewen : i was treating a patient who was staying at wyndemere . elizabeth : cassandra . ewen : it was a complicated case . i was frustrated , so i went for a walk to clear my head . by the time i got to you , i was just praying you were still alive . elizabeth : [ scoffs ] when i came to , spinelli was standing over me . ewen : i got you to dry ground , uh , made sure you were breathing , and saw that help was on its way . but i had to get back to cassandra . elizabeth : why ? w - w - why did you keep it a secret ? all those times that we talked about it , you never said anything . i even told you that there was some mystery man who pulled me out of the water . ewen : it was always going to be awkward whenever i decided to tell you . elizabeth : people told me i was crazy . they told me i imagined you . ewen : i know . i 'm sorry . truly , i -- i did n't mean for it to be so secretive . elizabeth : so , you 're the one who saved my life ? ewen : [ chuckles ] elizabeth : well , then , i guess i kind of have to forgive you . well , if you were on the shore that night , did you see the party boat ? i mean , maybe you saw something that could clear maxie . ewen : no . i do n't know how much i can be of help . [ cell phone rings ] elizabeth : oh . just a minute . yeah , i need to take this . ewen : go ahead . elizabeth : patrick , hi . patrick : hey , can you come over ? i need you . carly : see , sonny and jason , they 're sticklers for the truth . you should ask sam how well keeping secrets worked out for her . kate : are you in everybody 's business , carly ? carly : you stuck your nose in my business . johnny and i were having a good time last night till you showed up . why should n't i mention it to sonny ? kate : because you do n't give a damn about him , carly . and you constantly undermine my relationship with him . carly : i 'm doing sonny a favor . the sooner he finds out that you 're a train wreck waiting to happen , the sooner he 'll cut you loose . sonny does n't need the pain that you 're guaranteed to give him . kate : pain ? if anyone 's hurt sonny , it 's you , carly . carly : and you clearly do n't know anything about sonny 's life or his business . so let me tell you -- when you showed up to johnny 's apartment last night , going on about how he planted that gun in your office , you made it seem like sonny needs his girlfriend to fight his battles for him . kate : that is so stupid . that is ridiculous . carly : no , it 's called perception , kate . if sonny looks weak , that means he is weak . kate : you do n't know anything , carly . carly : i know johnny did n't plant that gun , and i 'm really curious as to who did . kate : get out of my office right now . carly : okay . soon as you sign this application for the renovation contract . [ pen clicks ] carly : it 's a pleasure doing business with you , partner . sonny : why would kate come here to talk about me ? johnny : women enjoy my company . they find me sympathetic . sonny : really ? johnny : yeah . sonny : okay , you and carly want to play your little , you know , games , that 's up to you guys , but leave kate alone . johnny : i do n't think you 're understanding this . kate came to me . if you have to ask me why , then maybe the two of you are having a little trouble in the communication department . sonny : just admit that you shot out anthony 's tires and you -- and you wanted to frame me . come on . johnny : i was here all night , and i got a witness -- your ex - wife . sonny : oh , and you did n't leave the room to make a phone call ? you did n't send out a team to go after your father ? i 'm sorry . your grandfather . i keep m - messing that one up . you knew exactly what kind of gun i was carrying , so that means you know exactly what kind of gun to plant . it 's a perfect setup . but you should have never brought kate into the equation . johnny : you 're the one who brought kate into this thing . you planted a gun in her office after you caused an accident that killed two people . sonny : that 's for the d.a . to prove or not . but it has nothing to do with kate . i do n't want you anywhere near her . johnny : [ chuckles ] you 're so protective . and it 's really a shame , because you do n't know your lady half as well as you think you do . kate : [ sighs ] [ cell phone rings ] ewen : ewen keenan . kate : hello . this is kate howard . i 'm -- i need to see you right now . ewen : i 'm on rounds right now . can this wait ? kate : no . it 's -- something 's very wrong . ewen : come see me at the hospital . 10th floor . kate : thank you . i 'm on my way . john : this is really nice . i 'm thinking about doing something like this with my place . sam : let me call my mom . you should not be talking to him without an attorney . john : you know , it 's your choice , but he 's not being charged with anything . i 'm just here to ask a few questions . you do n't even have to be here if you do n't want to be . sam : well , i 'm not going anywhere . john : i kind of figured you 'd say that . jason : what do you want ? john : oh . i 'm sure you 've heard about the crash involving anthony zacchara . in the spirit of full disclosure , i was very close with the victims , cole and hope thornhart . jason : i 'm sorry to hear that . but if you 're a cop from pennsylvania , you 're , uh , way out of your jurisdiction . john : yeah , that 's what people keep telling me . sam : jason 's not obligated to answer your questions . john : it 's not about an obligation . i 'm appealing to your sense of decency . there 's a little girl that 's dead . her father 's dead . it 's kind of an old- fashioned notion , but i 'd like to see justice served . jason : well , i was in the hospital the night of the accident . john : i know you were . you know that sonny corinthos has been charged with two counts of manslaughter in relationship with the accident ? jason : i am aware of that . john : you work for sonny , do n't you ? jason : he 's my business partner . john : hmm . people tell me that , um , you 're kind of a troubleshooter , that you , uh -- you fix things for him . so am i to assume that he 's mentioned me to you ? jason : you knocked on my door . john : and you let me in , which is a little unusual for somebody that , uh , is not known for getting involved with law enforcement . if sonny has sent you my way , my suggestion to you is `` stay out of it . `` would be a mistake to get involved this time . patrick : thanks for coming . i do n't -- i do n't know what to do . elizabeth : what happened ? patrick : this just came . elizabeth : [ sighs ] robin 's ashes . patrick : emma heard me say that -- that robin 's in a box , and now she wants to know why mommy 's not in heaven . elizabeth : what did you say to her ? patrick : i said that she could n't take everything with her and whatever 's left over is in there . elizabeth : okay . that was a good answer . patrick : how do i explain this ? how -- emma has n't slept since robin died . elizabeth : you do n't tell her any more than she asks . patrick : i ca n't keep this here . elizabeth : i 'm sure there 's a place that was special to robin , special to the both of you . patrick : yeah , there is . carly : okay . what the hell are you hiding here ? what made you leave in such a hurry ? dr. keenan ? ewen : how can i help ? kate : you were right . the blackouts are getting longer , and -- and -- and they 're getting worse , and i 'm going talking to people , having conversations that i do n't remember . and why would i go and see the one person that -- ewen : slow down . slow down . kate : -- sonny hates the most ? ewen : slow down . we 'll figure this out . i just need to know what happened . kate : uh , apparently i was at johnny zacchara 's last night . ewen : you do n't remember ? kate : no , i do n't remember . and why would i do that ? sonny despises johnny . there 's no reason for me to do that . but carly , sonny 's ex - wife , said that she saw me there . ewen : is it possible she made it up ? kate : well , yeah . she would lie . of course she 'd lie if she got something out of it . but it 's so random . she would never make that up . but -- i - i 'm sure it happened . ewen : anything else ? kate : yes . i sent an urgent text to sonny saying that i needed to see him , and i do n't know why . and they still have n't explained why they found the gun in my office . ewen : i can understand why this would be so distressing . kate : distressing ? someone is living my life . it 's like i disappear and when i wake up , everything is different . i -- i do n't know . god . what else have i done ? i do n't remember anything . ewen : there is someone who knows what happened , who can fill in the blanks . kate : oh . who ? ewen : connie . she 's the one we need to talk to . sonny : all kate wanted was to put you on notice to get you to stop setting me up and planting guns in her office . johnny : so , you just assumed she bought your cover story ? sonny : no , kate -- she knows i had nothing to do with the accident . johnny : tell it to the girl who lost her boyfriend and her daughter . sonny : okay , those two deaths are on your old man 's head and yours . johnny : oh , you keep telling yourself that and what ? it makes it come true ? sonny : after what you 've done to my -- my kids , i am not gon na let you use kate against me . johnny : kate did n't come here to talk about a gun or to -- to figure out how she could protect you . that was a story she made up for carly . sonny : then why was she here ? johnny : to have sex with me , sonny . anthony : you arrested sonny , did n't you ? you must have had some kind of evidence to do it . dante : well , you know what , anthony ? the funny thing is , we do n't have anything concrete tying sonny to that gun . it 's all circumstantial . hell , i think this might be a setup . anthony : your father came into my house and threatened me with a gun . that was no setup . the only reason i 'm still breathing is because my loving wife was there . dante : oh , yeah . i spoke to tracy . anthony : then you know what she saw and you know what happened next . dante : no , actually . you know what ? i do n't . anthony : [ chuckles ] sonny hung back , followed me to the airport . when it looked like i might get away , he opened fire on my car , ran me off the road , killed those two innocent people . dante : still not hearing any proof . anthony : how 's this for proof ? i saw him . john : sonny has a lot to answer for . you got a good thing here . you do n't want to get dragged down with him . jason : is that a threat ? john : i do n't make threats . does that sound like a threat to you ? jason : do n't talk to my wife . john : let me ask you something . this guy , sonny , you do his dirty work for him , right ? i heard one time you even got thrown in prison to help his kid out . i almost respect that . what has he ever done to inspire such loyalty ? sam : whoa , whoa , whoa , whoa . wait a minute . you told me that you were n't after my husband . jason : you two know each other ? john : as a matter of fact , we do . patrick : i do n't know how to do this . [ sniffles ] it 's like robin 's not home . emma does n't have a mom . now my wife 's in a jar . elizabeth : robin is wherever you and emma are . that 's where she 'll always be . patrick : [ sighs ] i know some people who probably want to be there , but i - i - i think i just have to -- elizabeth : it 's okay . you do this for you and robin , okay ? sam : lieutenant mcbain showed up at the church looking for sonny , and i - i told him i - i did n't know where he was . jason : targeting my wife at a funeral . that 's -- that 's how you work ? john : it was a chance encounter . it was like she said . i was looking for corinthos . jason : sonny did n't cause that accident . john : you seem like a decent fellow . do i have your word on that ? jason : yeah , you do . if you want to find justice for that man and his little girl , you need to find somebody else with motive to kill anthony zacchara . john : i 'm just glad you have an alibi . jason : using this case to work out your history with sonny is gon na be a big mistake . john : thanks for the advice . oh , and , uh -- congratulations on the baby . it 'll change your life . nice seeing you again , sam . [ door opens ] [ cell phone rings ] john : hey . yeah . how 's liam ? i miss him . i miss you , too . look , i 'm sorry . i 'm gon na be here longer than i thought . jason : you okay ? sam : yeah . i 'm fine . jason : you do n't look fine . something else happen between you and mcbain at the church ? anthony : he was out for blood , sonny -- my blood . i tried to get away . out comes the gun . out go my tires . you do the math . dante : you know what ? i did , and it does n't add up . that road was pitch - black , okay ? you got high beams in your eyes , and yet you can still see sonny 's face very clearly ? anthony : i 've got really good eyesight . johnny : you want the truth , right ? sonny : mm - hmm . johnny : two weeks ago , there 's a knock at that door . i go open it up , and who is it ? the lovely kate howard . sonny : a couple of weeks ago , huh ? johnny : that 's right . the day after you were shot . and , phew , i got to hand it to you . she is one good - looking woman , which made it that much more difficult for me to turn her down when she threw herself at me . sonny : where do you come up w - with -- with th -- with this stuff ? johnny : you know , i got surprised , too , when she shoved her tongue down my throat and then she reached for my belt buckle . [ chuckles ] sonny : you know , if -- if you want to provoke me , y - you should at least come up with , like , a believable story . johnny : there 's -- there 's no story going on here , sonny . i mean , we would have gone at it right here on this coffee table . but i was a gentleman . sonny : oh . hold on . you were the one who turned her down . is that what you 're saying ? johnny : [ chuckling ] yeah , well , i exercised self - control . i mean , lord knows somebody had to , 'cause she did n't have any . sonny : oh , so , you -- you -- you want me to think that kate would sleep with a low - life piece of garbage like you ? johnny : yeah , well , carly did n't have a problem with it . why should kate ? kate : no . because when i black out , i 'm still the same person , the same face , the same body , and you talk about connie like she 's a - a separate person . ewen : psychologically speaking , connie is a separate entity . carly : [ sighs ] ewen : the alters that manifest in patients with d.i.d . are separate and distinct . in your case , connie 's the person you tried to leave behind when you reinvented yourself as kate howard . kate : i did leave connie behind . i have n't been connie falconeri in a very long time , so why is this happening and what does connie want with johnny zacchara ? ewen : we have to ask her that . kate : well , how you gon na do that , doctor ? you just make me black out again , you know , and just make connie appear ? it does n't happen that way . it just happens when it happens . ewen : then we have to make it happen . kate : how ? ewen : with a very effective psychiatric technique . hypnosis . you . dante : how about the night of september 23 , 2011 ? where were you then ? anthony : oh , what the hell . dante : you see , i was shot in the back , and that case has yet to be solved . and just like who shot sonny in the metro court garage , we do n't know who did that , either . anthony : that has nothing to do with me ! dante : well , johnny seems to think it does ! okay ? so that makes me think that you were in the metro court parking garage , too ! anthony : if you had any proof , i 'd be standing here in cuffs ! you do n't have any ! dante : what happens if i say i saw you pull the trigger ? anthony : that would be a lie . dante : really ? really ? well , how do you know ? you said you saw sonny in your rearview mirror . anthony : hey , if you 're not gon na help me , i 'm gon na find somebody who will ! dante : no , no , no . you 're not going anywhere . sonny : you know what , johnny ? what you should have done was stuck with kate 's story , if you really wanted to hurt me , 'cause i do n't give a damn which loser carly crawls into bed with next . johnny : why do i not believe that ? sonny : oh , come on . you 're just a - a long line of bad choices , because carly is her own worst enemy . johnny : now , see , that i agree with you on . i mean , she married you , what ? four times ? that kind of epitomizes self - destructive . carly 's ready for a real man . sonny : you ? johnny : yeah . seems kate is , too . sonny : but you 're nothing ! you 're nobody ! your own mother wo n't even admit you were hers . johnny : shut up . sonny : truth hurts , do n't it ? connie : what are you looking at ? carly : nothing . carly : no . [ laughs ] no way . johnny would never do that . [ lipstick case clicks ] carly : no . there has to be something else you 're hiding , kate . what the hell are you hiding ? [ drawer rattles ] carly : [ laughs ] bingo . ewen : hypnotherapy involves me putting you in a relaxed trance - like state . the body is slowly released from the conscious and analytical thought , and the subconscious mind is allowed to take control . kate : connie 's my subconscious mind ? ewen : she was created by it . once in this state , i 'm hoping to reach out to this other personality . draw her out and learn why she exists and what she 's doing here now . kate : so , while all this is happening , i wo n't have any control at all ? ewen : i know that sounds scary for someone like you . but your need for control may be one of the reasons connie exists . she 's a safety valve for when the pressure becomes too great . but i 'm here to help . you can trust me . kate : i do n't really feel like i 'm comfortable with this . ewen : do n't worry . i 'll be recording the session . i 'll furnish you with a copy so you know exactly what connie said . kate : my life is falling apart , and i 'm lying to sonny . so i really want to find out what connie wants . ewen : i do n't want you to think about anything specific . let your mind wander . think about something peaceful . let me do all the work . your body feels weightless . allow your mind to go into a safe , warm , comfortable place . slowly close your eyes as i count backwards from 10 . 10 -- 9 -- 8 -- [ drawer rattling ] john : well , it 's better if you stick it in and then you jiggle . jason : did mcbain threaten you the night at the church ? sam : no . jason : then why -- why are you so upset ? sam : i was a mess that night , jason . you had stormed out of that church , and i thought i 'd lost you forever . jason : and that 's when mcbain showed up ? sam : yeah , he came in , and he put his hand on my shoulder , and i thought it was you . i thought you had -- you had came back . and then he asked me what was wrong , and i just let it all pour out . jason : you -- you talked to a cop about us ? sam : i know , but -- i know . i 'm sorry . as soon as i realized he was a cop , i shut up . but i had already told him that we were fighting , and i told him your name . jason : so me and mcbain already have a bad history . sam : i am so sorry , jason . he was looking for a weakness , and i handed him our marriage problems . jason : it 's okay . it 's okay . it 's all right . you -- you did n't know who he was . but now you do , and he 's my problem . if he approaches you , i want you to call me . sam : okay , but we do n't have to worry about that because i 'm not gon na be here . jason : yeah , you know , maybe we should just forget about this whole new york thing . sam : no , we are not . i want to go and figure out where you were from . jason : just let me do it . sam : no , jason . you have to stay here and deal with mcbain and sonny . jason : the whole hospital thing can wait , sam . sam : listen , i know you hate the idea of me being involved of -- of anything franco , but the more i think about it , the more i need to know . i need to figure out why he left that dvd . jason : okay , and if you do n't find anything at the hospital , then what ? sam : well , if it turns out that it 's a dead end , then it 's done . i - i walk away . i do n't want him to hurt us anymore , for the baby 's sake . patrick : [ sighs ] i did n't know what to do -- so i brought you home . anthony : you have no proof i was the one who shot you . [ chuckles ] attempted- murder charges never stick . dante : attempted murder , maybe not , but maybe murder charges will . anthony : murder ? ooh . what murder ? dante : the one maxie jones implicated you in . [ handcuffs click ] sonny : tell me . what do you see when you look in the mirror ? anthony 's puppet of claudia 's bastard son ? johnny : it 's time for you to leave . sonny : as twisted as claudia was , she did n't even care enough to tell you the truth . johnny : leave her out of this . sonny : leave kate out of it ! johnny : kate is not the woman you think she is . sonny : oh , i know she came in here . now you 're making up stories . you 're planting guns . what 's next , johnny ? johnny : hmm . you have no idea what i can do . sonny : you framed me , right ? and you failed at that like you fail at everything ! johnny : keep talking , sonny . it 's gon na make revenge that much sweeter . sonny : i 'm gon na say it again . stay away from kate . [ door closes ] [ cell phone rings ] ewen : that 's good , kate . deep breath in . feel it filling your lungs . good . and slowly let it out . kate : [ exhales slowly ] ewen : you 're in a safe place . nothing can hurt you here . johnny : hey . it 's me . i 'm assuming that that offer 's still on the table . if it is , i 'm in . so , i think it 's about time sonny got what he deserved . ewen : regular breathing . in -- and out . very nice . now , i 'm going to count to three , and you are going to slowly open your eyes . 1 , 2 , 3 . connie , is that you ? i 've put kate in a hypnotic state . but you 're free to come out and talk to me . i 've been looking forward to meeting you . connie . connie : connie 's at your service . john : now , they tell me this is kate howard 's office . but i saw you briefly at the courthouse the other day , and i believe someone referred to you as the ex- mrs. corinthos . carly : you 're the cop who stopped todd manning from shooting sonny . john : yeah . john mcbain . carly : hmm . carly jacks . john : hmm . carly : i thought you took todd to pennsylvania . john : i did . carly : then what are you doing here ? john : i suppose i could ask you the same thing . carly : i own the hotel . i own the building . john : ahh . but not your office . so the way i see it , i can either tell ms . howard about your little break - in here or you can tell me what i need to know . jason : i would n't even think about letting you go alone if i did n't know franco was dead . sam : hey . it 's okay . i am going to be fine . jason : and you 're just gon na look for records . that 's it . sam : yes . yes .

[ footsteps approaching ] well , there you are . where have you been ? carly : do n't you read the paper ? maxie confessed to murder . she 's been in lockup since robin 's funeral . kate : oh , i forgot . i was focused on other things . carly : oh . johnny ? kate : excuse me ? carly : care to explain your little visit to his apartment ? kate : what are you talking about ? why would i ever go to johnny 's apartment ? johnny : are you here to accuse me of trying to kill dante again ? you 're wasting both of our time . sonny : you say you did n't do it . i believe you . i 'm here to talk about kate . dante : have a seat . anthony : oh , that 's very kind of you , detective . you seem surprised to see me here . or maybe you 're just surprised to see me alive . dante : you fled the scene of an accident . anthony : i had reason to fear for my life . dante : where have you been hiding out all this time ? anthony : `` where `` is n't nearly as important as `` why . `` that wreck was no accident . your father tried to take me out . killed two innocent people instead . sam : you again . john : hi . sam : hi . uh , w - what -- what are you doing here ? john : oh , i was just nowhere near your neighborhood . thought i 'd come by and have a little chat with your husband . hey , did you guys work things out ? jason : what 's going on ? if there was a pill sonny : stay away from kate . johnny : that 's not a problem . i 'm not interested . sonny : i know kate was here . carly already told me . johnny : oh , that 's cute how the two of you keep the channel of communication open . sonny : why was she here , johnny ? johnny : ask her . sonny : i 'm asking you . connie : come on . i got so much more to offer , johnny . and you can get sonny 's heart on a platter , which is what you want . sonny : why was she here ? johnny : why else , sonny ? it was about you . kate : look , carly , if you have a point , let 's get to it , shall we ? my time is valuable , and you know the way out . carly : are you seriously gon na pretend like you did n't show up last night to johnny 's apartment ? kate : last night ? carly : i was there when you were accusing johnny of planting that gun here in your office . ewen : the blackouts you 've been experiencing , the gaps in time , it 's possible that you 've been doing these things as someone else , which is why you , kate , do n't remember doing them . kate : all right . we have established i was at johnny 's last night . what concern of that is yours ? carly : sonny seemed concerned . kate : sonny ? carly : you had to know i 'd tell him . anthony : suddenly , i see brights in my rearview . someone 's behind me chasing me down . dante : so you sped up ? anthony : [ chuckling ] hell yes . that 's when i heard the gunshots . dante : how many ? anthony : what do you mean ? dante : well , you said -- you said you heard gunshots . so how many ? i mean , you have such perfect recall for what happened that night . anthony : who counts when someone 's shooting ? but i know for sure two of them hit . they blew out my rear tires . i lost control of my car . next thing i know ... [ imitates explosion ] dante : when did you see the oncoming car ? anthony : i do n't know . that part happened so fast . those poor kids did n't stand a chance . miracle i walked away . dante : yeah , that 's -- that 's a real miracle . anthony : i doubt i 'll be so fortunate the next time . that 's why i 'm here . i want police protection from sonny corinthos . dante : do you have proof that sonny 's the one who tried to kill you that night ? elizabeth : maxie had a complete meltdown at robin 's funeral . she insisted that the explosion was her fault , and when no one believed her , she then confessed to killing lisa niles . ewen : i thought the police had already solved dr. niles ' murder . elizabeth : yeah , they did , but maxie said that the first mate is innocent and she 's the real killer . ewen : guilt and grief can be powerful motivations . elizabeth : and now spinelli wants me to help him clear her name . he thinks i might have seen something on the boat that night before lisa threw me overboard . ewen : did you ? elizabeth : i do n't remember much of that night . i - i told you . i do n't even know who pulled me out of the water . ewen : i think i can help you with that . it was me . jason : can i help you ? john : how you doing ? i 'm john mcbain with the llanview , pennsylvania , police department . you jason morgan ? jason : you already know who i am . john : yeah . mind if i ask you a couple questions ? sam : hey , um , come on , really . he was just released from the hospital from a very serious surgery -- jason : no , it 's -- it 's okay , sam . sam : jason , i do n't think -- jason : come on in . john : thanks . patrick : my wife 's in a box ? yes , sir . i - if you would n't mind signing . patrick : thank you . i - i 'm sorry for your loss . patrick : thanks , man . emma : daddy ? what do you mean , mommy 's in the box ? you said mommy was in heaven . patrick : she is in heaven , baby . she 's up there right now looking down on us , making sure we 're okay . emma : but you asked the man if mommy 's in the box . patrick : yeah . um -- this is a little difficult to understand , probably just as difficult to explain , but -- see , mommy could n't take everything with her to heaven , so that 's what 's in the box . emma : can i see ? patrick : do n't you have a tea party with butterscotch and the koalas to get to ? are n't they -- are n't they waiting for you ? emma : we want you to play with us . patrick : you do ? okay . i 'll come and play with you . you pour me some tea , and i 'll come and meet you over there , okay ? emma : promise ? patrick : yes , baby . i promise . elizabeth : you 're the one who pulled me out of the water that night ? ewen : i carried you to the shore . elizabeth : i do n't understand . what were you doing on spoon island ? ewen : i was treating a patient who was staying at wyndemere . elizabeth : cassandra . ewen : it was a complicated case . i was frustrated , so i went for a walk to clear my head . by the time i got to you , i was just praying you were still alive . elizabeth : [ scoffs ] when i came to , spinelli was standing over me . ewen : i got you to dry ground , uh , made sure you were breathing , and saw that help was on its way . but i had to get back to cassandra . elizabeth : why ? w - w - why did you keep it a secret ? all those times that we talked about it , you never said anything . i even told you that there was some mystery man who pulled me out of the water . ewen : it was always going to be awkward whenever i decided to tell you . elizabeth : people told me i was crazy . they told me i imagined you . ewen : i know . i 'm sorry . truly , i -- i did n't mean for it to be so secretive . elizabeth : so , you 're the one who saved my life ? ewen : [ chuckles ] elizabeth : well , then , i guess i kind of have to forgive you . well , if you were on the shore that night , did you see the party boat ? i mean , maybe you saw something that could clear maxie . ewen : no . i do n't know how much i can be of help . [ cell phone rings ] elizabeth : oh . just a minute . yeah , i need to take this . ewen : go ahead . elizabeth : patrick , hi . patrick : hey , can you come over ? i need you . carly : see , sonny and jason , they 're sticklers for the truth . you should ask sam how well keeping secrets worked out for her . kate : are you in everybody 's business , carly ? carly : you stuck your nose in my business . johnny and i were having a good time last night till you showed up . why should n't i mention it to sonny ? kate : because you do n't give a damn about him , carly . and you constantly undermine my relationship with him . carly : i 'm doing sonny a favor . the sooner he finds out that you 're a train wreck waiting to happen , the sooner he 'll cut you loose . sonny does n't need the pain that you 're guaranteed to give him . kate : pain ? if anyone 's hurt sonny , it 's you , carly . carly : and you clearly do n't know anything about sonny 's life or his business . so let me tell you -- when you showed up to johnny 's apartment last night , going on about how he planted that gun in your office , you made it seem like sonny needs his girlfriend to fight his battles for him . kate : that is so stupid . that is ridiculous . carly : no , it 's called perception , kate . if sonny looks weak , that means he is weak . kate : you do n't know anything , carly . carly : i know johnny did n't plant that gun , and i 'm really curious as to who did . kate : get out of my office right now . carly : okay . soon as you sign this application for the renovation contract . [ pen clicks ] carly : it 's a pleasure doing business with you , partner . sonny : why would kate come here to talk about me ? johnny : women enjoy my company . they find me sympathetic . sonny : really ? johnny : yeah . sonny : okay , you and carly want to play your little , you know , games , that 's up to you guys , but leave kate alone . johnny : i do n't think you 're understanding this . kate came to me . if you have to ask me why , then maybe the two of you are having a little trouble in the communication department . sonny : just admit that you shot out anthony 's tires and you -- and you wanted to frame me . come on . johnny : i was here all night , and i got a witness -- your ex - wife . sonny : oh , and you did n't leave the room to make a phone call ? you did n't send out a team to go after your father ? i 'm sorry . your grandfather . i keep m - messing that one up . you knew exactly what kind of gun i was carrying , so that means you know exactly what kind of gun to plant . it 's a perfect setup . but you should have never brought kate into the equation . johnny : you 're the one who brought kate into this thing . you planted a gun in her office after you caused an accident that killed two people . sonny : that 's for the d.a . to prove or not . but it has nothing to do with kate . i do n't want you anywhere near her . johnny : [ chuckles ] you 're so protective . and it 's really a shame , because you do n't know your lady half as well as you think you do . kate : [ sighs ] [ cell phone rings ] ewen : ewen keenan . kate : hello . this is kate howard . i 'm -- i need to see you right now . ewen : i 'm on rounds right now . can this wait ? kate : no . it 's -- something 's very wrong . ewen : come see me at the hospital . 10th floor . kate : thank you . i 'm on my way . john : this is really nice . i 'm thinking about doing something like this with my place . sam : let me call my mom . you should not be talking to him without an attorney . john : you know , it 's your choice , but he 's not being charged with anything . i 'm just here to ask a few questions . you do n't even have to be here if you do n't want to be . sam : well , i 'm not going anywhere . john : i kind of figured you 'd say that . jason : what do you want ? john : oh . i 'm sure you 've heard about the crash involving anthony zacchara . in the spirit of full disclosure , i was very close with the victims , cole and hope thornhart . jason : i 'm sorry to hear that . but if you 're a cop from pennsylvania , you 're , uh , way out of your jurisdiction . john : yeah , that 's what people keep telling me . sam : jason 's not obligated to answer your questions . john : it 's not about an obligation . i 'm appealing to your sense of decency . there 's a little girl that 's dead . her father 's dead . it 's kind of an old- fashioned notion , but i 'd like to see justice served . jason : well , i was in the hospital the night of the accident . john : i know you were . you know that sonny corinthos has been charged with two counts of manslaughter in relationship with the accident ? jason : i am aware of that . john : you work for sonny , do n't you ? jason : he 's my business partner . john : hmm . people tell me that , um , you 're kind of a troubleshooter , that you , uh -- you fix things for him . so am i to assume that he 's mentioned me to you ? jason : you knocked on my door . john : and you let me in , which is a little unusual for somebody that , uh , is not known for getting involved with law enforcement . if sonny has sent you my way , my suggestion to you is `` stay out of it . `` would be a mistake to get involved this time . patrick : thanks for coming . i do n't -- i do n't know what to do . elizabeth : what happened ? patrick : this just came . elizabeth : [ sighs ] robin 's ashes . patrick : emma heard me say that -- that robin 's in a box , and now she wants to know why mommy 's not in heaven . elizabeth : what did you say to her ? patrick : i said that she could n't take everything with her and whatever 's left over is in there . elizabeth : okay . that was a good answer . patrick : how do i explain this ? how -- emma has n't slept since robin died . elizabeth : you do n't tell her any more than she asks . patrick : i ca n't keep this here . elizabeth : i 'm sure there 's a place that was special to robin , special to the both of you . patrick : yeah , there is . carly : okay . what the hell are you hiding here ? what made you leave in such a hurry ? dr. keenan ? ewen : how can i help ? kate : you were right . the blackouts are getting longer , and -- and -- and they 're getting worse , and i 'm going talking to people , having conversations that i do n't remember . and why would i go and see the one person that -- ewen : slow down . slow down . kate : -- sonny hates the most ? ewen : slow down . we 'll figure this out . i just need to know what happened . kate : uh , apparently i was at johnny zacchara 's last night . ewen : you do n't remember ? kate : no , i do n't remember . and why would i do that ? sonny despises johnny . there 's no reason for me to do that . but carly , sonny 's ex - wife , said that she saw me there . ewen : is it possible she made it up ? kate : well , yeah . she would lie . of course she 'd lie if she got something out of it . but it 's so random . she would never make that up . but -- i - i 'm sure it happened . ewen : anything else ? kate : yes . i sent an urgent text to sonny saying that i needed to see him , and i do n't know why . and they still have n't explained why they found the gun in my office . ewen : i can understand why this would be so distressing . kate : distressing ? someone is living my life . it 's like i disappear and when i wake up , everything is different . i -- i do n't know . god . what else have i done ? i do n't remember anything . ewen : there is someone who knows what happened , who can fill in the blanks . kate : oh . who ? ewen : connie . she 's the one we need to talk to . sonny : all kate wanted was to put you on notice to get you to stop setting me up and planting guns in her office . johnny : so , you just assumed she bought your cover story ? sonny : no , kate -- she knows i had nothing to do with the accident . johnny : tell it to the girl who lost her boyfriend and her daughter . sonny : okay , those two deaths are on your old man 's head and yours . johnny : oh , you keep telling yourself that and what ? it makes it come true ? sonny : after what you 've done to my -- my kids , i am not gon na let you use kate against me . johnny : kate did n't come here to talk about a gun or to -- to figure out how she could protect you . that was a story she made up for carly . sonny : then why was she here ? johnny : to have sex with me , sonny . anthony : you arrested sonny , did n't you ? you must have had some kind of evidence to do it . dante : well , you know what , anthony ? the funny thing is , we do n't have anything concrete tying sonny to that gun . it 's all circumstantial . hell , i think this might be a setup . anthony : your father came into my house and threatened me with a gun . that was no setup . the only reason i 'm still breathing is because my loving wife was there . dante : oh , yeah . i spoke to tracy . anthony : then you know what she saw and you know what happened next . dante : no , actually . you know what ? i do n't . anthony : [ chuckles ] sonny hung back , followed me to the airport . when it looked like i might get away , he opened fire on my car , ran me off the road , killed those two innocent people . dante : still not hearing any proof . anthony : how 's this for proof ? i saw him . john : sonny has a lot to answer for . you got a good thing here . you do n't want to get dragged down with him . jason : is that a threat ? john : i do n't make threats . does that sound like a threat to you ? jason : do n't talk to my wife . john : let me ask you something . this guy , sonny , you do his dirty work for him , right ? i heard one time you even got thrown in prison to help his kid out . i almost respect that . what has he ever done to inspire such loyalty ? sam : whoa , whoa , whoa , whoa . wait a minute . you told me that you were n't after my husband . jason : you two know each other ? john : as a matter of fact , we do . patrick : i do n't know how to do this . [ sniffles ] it 's like robin 's not home . emma does n't have a mom . now my wife 's in a jar . elizabeth : robin is wherever you and emma are . that 's where she 'll always be . patrick : [ sighs ] i know some people who probably want to be there , but i - i - i think i just have to -- elizabeth : it 's okay . you do this for you and robin , okay ? sam : lieutenant mcbain showed up at the church looking for sonny , and i - i told him i - i did n't know where he was . jason : targeting my wife at a funeral . that 's -- that 's how you work ? john : it was a chance encounter . it was like she said . i was looking for corinthos . jason : sonny did n't cause that accident . john : you seem like a decent fellow . do i have your word on that ? jason : yeah , you do . if you want to find justice for that man and his little girl , you need to find somebody else with motive to kill anthony zacchara . john : i 'm just glad you have an alibi . jason : using this case to work out your history with sonny is gon na be a big mistake . john : thanks for the advice . oh , and , uh -- congratulations on the baby . it 'll change your life . nice seeing you again , sam . [ door opens ] [ cell phone rings ] john : hey . yeah . how 's liam ? i miss him . i miss you , too . look , i 'm sorry . i 'm gon na be here longer than i thought . jason : you okay ? sam : yeah . i 'm fine . jason : you do n't look fine . something else happen between you and mcbain at the church ? anthony : he was out for blood , sonny -- my blood . i tried to get away . out comes the gun . out go my tires . you do the math . dante : you know what ? i did , and it does n't add up . that road was pitch - black , okay ? you got high beams in your eyes , and yet you can still see sonny 's face very clearly ? anthony : i 've got really good eyesight . johnny : you want the truth , right ? sonny : mm - hmm . johnny : two weeks ago , there 's a knock at that door . i go open it up , and who is it ? the lovely kate howard . sonny : a couple of weeks ago , huh ? johnny : that 's right . the day after you were shot . and , phew , i got to hand it to you . she is one good - looking woman , which made it that much more difficult for me to turn her down when she threw herself at me . sonny : where do you come up w - with -- with th -- with this stuff ? johnny : you know , i got surprised , too , when she shoved her tongue down my throat and then she reached for my belt buckle . [ chuckles ] sonny : you know , if -- if you want to provoke me , y - you should at least come up with , like , a believable story . johnny : there 's -- there 's no story going on here , sonny . i mean , we would have gone at it right here on this coffee table . but i was a gentleman . sonny : oh . hold on . you were the one who turned her down . is that what you 're saying ? johnny : [ chuckling ] yeah , well , i exercised self - control . i mean , lord knows somebody had to , 'cause she did n't have any . sonny : oh , so , you -- you -- you want me to think that kate would sleep with a low - life piece of garbage like you ? johnny : yeah , well , carly did n't have a problem with it . why should kate ? kate : no . because when i black out , i 'm still the same person , the same face , the same body , and you talk about connie like she 's a - a separate person . ewen : psychologically speaking , connie is a separate entity . carly : [ sighs ] ewen : the alters that manifest in patients with d.i.d . are separate and distinct . in your case , connie 's the person you tried to leave behind when you reinvented yourself as kate howard . kate : i did leave connie behind . i have n't been connie falconeri in a very long time , so why is this happening and what does connie want with johnny zacchara ? ewen : we have to ask her that . kate : well , how you gon na do that , doctor ? you just make me black out again , you know , and just make connie appear ? it does n't happen that way . it just happens when it happens . ewen : then we have to make it happen . kate : how ? ewen : with a very effective psychiatric technique . hypnosis . you . dante : how about the night of september 23 , 2011 ? where were you then ? anthony : oh , what the hell . dante : you see , i was shot in the back , and that case has yet to be solved . and just like who shot sonny in the metro court garage , we do n't know who did that , either . anthony : that has nothing to do with me ! dante : well , johnny seems to think it does ! okay ? so that makes me think that you were in the metro court parking garage , too ! anthony : if you had any proof , i 'd be standing here in cuffs ! you do n't have any ! dante : what happens if i say i saw you pull the trigger ? anthony : that would be a lie . dante : really ? really ? well , how do you know ? you said you saw sonny in your rearview mirror . anthony : hey , if you 're not gon na help me , i 'm gon na find somebody who will ! dante : no , no , no . you 're not going anywhere . sonny : you know what , johnny ? what you should have done was stuck with kate 's story , if you really wanted to hurt me , 'cause i do n't give a damn which loser carly crawls into bed with next . johnny : why do i not believe that ? sonny : oh , come on . you 're just a - a long line of bad choices , because carly is her own worst enemy . johnny : now , see , that i agree with you on . i mean , she married you , what ? four times ? that kind of epitomizes self - destructive . carly 's ready for a real man . sonny : you ? johnny : yeah . seems kate is , too . sonny : but you 're nothing ! you 're nobody ! your own mother wo n't even admit you were hers . johnny : shut up . sonny : truth hurts , do n't it ? connie : what are you looking at ? carly : nothing . carly : no . [ laughs ] no way . johnny would never do that . [ lipstick case clicks ] carly : no . there has to be something else you 're hiding , kate . what the hell are you hiding ? [ drawer rattles ] carly : [ laughs ] bingo . ewen : hypnotherapy involves me putting you in a relaxed trance - like state . the body is slowly released from the conscious and analytical thought , and the subconscious mind is allowed to take control . kate : connie 's my subconscious mind ? ewen : she was created by it . once in this state , i 'm hoping to reach out to this other personality . draw her out and learn why she exists and what she 's doing here now . kate : so , while all this is happening , i wo n't have any control at all ? ewen : i know that sounds scary for someone like you . but your need for control may be one of the reasons connie exists . she 's a safety valve for when the pressure becomes too great . but i 'm here to help . you can trust me . kate : i do n't really feel like i 'm comfortable with this . ewen : do n't worry . i 'll be recording the session . i 'll furnish you with a copy so you know exactly what connie said . kate : my life is falling apart , and i 'm lying to sonny . so i really want to find out what connie wants . ewen : i do n't want you to think about anything specific . let your mind wander . think about something peaceful . let me do all the work . your body feels weightless . allow your mind to go into a safe , warm , comfortable place . slowly close your eyes as i count backwards from 10 . 10 -- 9 -- 8 -- [ drawer rattling ] john : well , it 's better if you stick it in and then you jiggle . jason : did mcbain threaten you the night at the church ? sam : no . jason : then why -- why are you so upset ? sam : i was a mess that night , jason . you had stormed out of that church , and i thought i 'd lost you forever . jason : and that 's when mcbain showed up ? sam : yeah , he came in , and he put his hand on my shoulder , and i thought it was you . i thought you had -- you had came back . and then he asked me what was wrong , and i just let it all pour out . jason : you -- you talked to a cop about us ? sam : i know , but -- i know . i 'm sorry . as soon as i realized he was a cop , i shut up . but i had already told him that we were fighting , and i told him your name . jason : so me and mcbain already have a bad history . sam : i am so sorry , jason . he was looking for a weakness , and i handed him our marriage problems . jason : it 's okay . it 's okay . it 's all right . you -- you did n't know who he was . but now you do , and he 's my problem . if he approaches you , i want you to call me . sam : okay , but we do n't have to worry about that because i 'm not gon na be here . jason : yeah , you know , maybe we should just forget about this whole new york thing . sam : no , we are not . i want to go and figure out where you were from . jason : just let me do it . sam : no , jason . you have to stay here and deal with mcbain and sonny . jason : the whole hospital thing can wait , sam . sam : listen , i know you hate the idea of me being involved of -- of anything franco , but the more i think about it , the more i need to know . i need to figure out why he left that dvd . jason : okay , and if you do n't find anything at the hospital , then what ? sam : well , if it turns out that it 's a dead end , then it 's done . i - i walk away . i do n't want him to hurt us anymore , for the baby 's sake . patrick : [ sighs ] i did n't know what to do -- so i brought you home . anthony : you have no proof i was the one who shot you .

spinelli : have no fear , sam . i am delighted to take care of danny for a few hours while you bond with your new foster son , and may i say that i think rafe is very lucky to have you take him in . okay . there 's no -- no thanks needed . i 'm -- i 'm happy to spend this time with danny . it is unexpected bliss to be daddy for a day . [ scene_break ] [ knock on door ] maxie : i got the text that you wanted to see me , ka -- uh , connie ? connie : yes , maxie . come on in . come on in . what are you loitering out there ? come on . what are -- what are you afraid of ? maxie : [ chuckles ] you . [ scene_break ] olivia : oh , good . i 'm not too late . it took me longer than i thought to get the balloons . i was afraid i was gon na miss them . sonny : no , the flight 's been delayed , so you can just go ahead and catch your breath . connie : oh , sonny , can you believe it ? i should never doubted that dante would find lulu before it was too late . gosh , she must be so happy to be coming home , right ? [ scene_break ] laura : well , at least lulu agreed to come back to port charles with us . luke : yeah . i was n't sure she was going to there for a while . [ sighs ] she does n't remember anything about her life . i mean , she ... still looks at us like we 're complete strangers . laura : yeah , i know . she 's so confused . one minute , stavros has her locked up and frozen . now we 've got her on a plane with people she does n't recognize going back to a home she does n't remember . luke : well , as soon as we land , we should get her over to general hospital and see if somebody can figure out what it is that stavros did to her memory . laura : yeah . but , you know , that , in and of itself , can be pretty terrifying , you know ? dealing with doctors who are trying to cure you is a painful reminder that you are broken . [ scene_break ] dante : lulu . [ scene_break ] olivia : okay . now everything can finally get back to normal , like the way it was before lulu was kidnapped . sonny : as normal as it gets around here . olivia : [ chuckles ] god , i was so worried about that vision of dante saying that he could n't save lulu , but i guess -- i guess everything really did turn out okay . well , i guess for dante and lulu , it did . how are you holding up ? sonny : uh , you know , dante and lulu 's homecoming is the one bright spot of my day . olivia : i understand . i really do . it hurts not to be with the person that you love . [ sighs ] [ scene_break ] aj : so , what 's in the bag ? medication for your latest std ? carly : it 's antirejection medicine for josslyn . aj : right , uh , i forgot that elizabeth consented for her little boy to donate his kidney to save your daughter 's life . um ... how 's josslyn ? carly : my daughter 's fine . i 'm worried about michael , and that 's why i have to find brenda . [ scene_break ] michael : wait . how could we change what happened ? brenda : i have a confession to make . michael : and what do you have to confess ? brenda : um ... you and i ... um , we never had sex . [ scene_break ] olivia : you know , the minute that you told me that connie was back , but she was n't with you , i knew something was wrong . and then when you said that she broke up with you , i ... went right over there to try to talk some sense into her . sonny : how 'd that work out ? olivia : not so good . sonny : [ chuckles ] i 'm not surprised . olivia : well , you know , neither kate nor connie were ever pushovers . you roll them all into one , you got a very formidable woman , sonny . she honestly believes that if she gets back with you , she 's gon na turn into two different people . sonny : she 's got to do what 's best for her health . olivia : yeah . but this is n't easy for her . she really is hurting . you got to know that . sonny : well , i mean , i fought her , you know , to the end , and i realized i 'm just gon na make it worse . olivia : [ sighs ] you know , she can talk till she 's blue in the face , and so can those doctors of hers . i will never , ever understand how it could be better for someone 's mental health to not be with the person that you love . sonny : [ chuckles ] [ scene_break ] connie : come on , maxie . you do n't have to be afraid of me . i 'm not gon na bite you ... unless you give me a reason to . maxie : [ chuckles ] sorry . you know , i 'm not usually a timid person , but these are exceptional circumstances . in the sense that , um ... well , i do n't know , really , who you are . connie : well , i -- maxie : i 'm not even sure who i want you to be -- kate or connie . i might not want you to be either one . i mean , the last time i worked for you , you were connie pretending to be kate , and you had me set up your tacky wedding to sonny . you made my life a living hell -- telling me that my ideas were boring , when they were actually really good . and i tried really hard to prove that you should rehire me , when the entire time , all you were really doing was setting up sonny to be humiliated in front of his family and friends . connie : i know , and i feel very badly that you got in between sonny and connie , but that was the old connie , and things are different now . i 'm a new person , and i 'm fully integrated . maxie : what does that mean ? connie : well , that means that i 'm not the old kate you knew or the connie that tricked you . i 'm parts of connie and little pieces of kate . maxie : hmm . i hope you kept the good parts . connie : [ chuckles ] well , you can let me know what you think after . maxie : [ sighs ] after what ? connie : after i offer you a job . [ scene_break ] spinelli : so , samantha is taking in a foster son named rafe , and so she thought she would help him get settled in tonight and devote her time to him , so she asked if i could take care of danny . ellie : oh . i thought you were leaving town on a case . spinelli : well , not until tomorrow morning . and , believe me , i - i - i 'm still highly aware that you do n't want children , so i 'm not -- ellie : damian , stop . stop . i 've chosen to remain childless , because i do n't want to exacerbate the overpopulation of planet earth . i have not objection to children who are already here . in fact , i like kids a lot , and even if i did n't , which , again , i do , danny would be nearly impossible to resist . spinelli : so , uh , he can stay with us tonight ? ellie : under one condition . spinelli : okay . what 's that ? ellie : you have to help me figure out what maxie 's hiding about dante and lulu 's baby . [ scene_break ] dante : it 's a long flight from athens , huh ? lulu : i guess . dante : well , we 're almost on the ground , and when we are , we -- we 'll be in the city , and maybe seeing all that stuff will bring some memories back . [ scene_break ] laura : i 'm not sure this is a good idea . luke : well , she 's his wife . he 's entitled to talk to her . laura : yes , but she 's overwhelmed . i do n't want him to upset her any further . luke : laura , he loves her . he 's walked through fire to find her . laura : i know . and sometimes that kind of love can feel like pressure . [ scene_break ] dante : hey , lulu . we used to spend a lot of time on the waterfront , on this one pier , in particular , and ... i do n't know , again , maybe it 's just something you 'll see and -- and some things will start to come back to you . lulu : i 'm sorry , i 'm -- i 'm really tired , david . dante : wh -- it 's , uh , dante . lulu : right . but i - i 'm still tired . dante : you 're not tired , lulu . you 're scared and confused , and when we get home , you 're gon na feel better . lulu : port charles , new york . dante : right . where there 's people who love you and the rest of our families and a bunch of friends . lulu : but see , the only person that i can remember ... is the guy who supposedly kidnapped me . dante : okay , great . well , let 's go with that . let 's stick with some positive things . we 're gon na -- we 're gon na get off this plane , we 're gon na be back home , you 're gon na remember things , and you 're gon na remember that we were happy together , because of -- especially right now , because of our baby . lulu : baby ? wh - what are you talking about ? what baby ? [ scene_break ] aj : are you seriously still upset that michael slept with brenda ? i mean , come on . he 's a grown man . let it go . carly : oh , right . because michael banged a supermodel . who cares that she used to be his stepmother ? man , you make my skin crawl . aj : okay , you know what ? you are obsessed . carly : [ chuckles ] aj : why are you still looking for brenda ? i thought you guys already had it out . carly : i 'm gon na run her ass out of town , since sonny refuses to kill her . [ scene_break ] sonny : i knew that dante , luke , and laura had made it to the island , and i was pretty sure they were gon na find lulu , but there was something else that happened , and i -- i ca n't even wrap my head around it . olivia : what is this other thing ? what -- this other thing you keep talking about -- what ? sonny : nothing . you do n't even have to worry about it . i do n't even want you involved in it . olivia : well [ scoffs ] sonny , i do worry about it . you know , we got a son together . we got a -- we got a grandbaby on the way . sonny : right . right . olivia : so , anything that affects you is very likely to affect them , so ... sonny : not this . olivia : wh -- okay . are you gon na just make me stand her badgering you about it and keep on and on and on with you ? because you know i will wear you down . sonny : are you gon na keep asking me , or are you gon na let go of this ? olivia : sonny , i know when you get like this -- when you 're all dodgy -- and when you 're dodging around , you 're covering up something that 's very painful . and as i 'm looking at you right now , i can see something is eating you alive . so , why do n't you just tell me what it is ? sonny , it 's me . you know you can trust me . sonny : the night of the nurses ' ball , brenda slept with michael . [ scene_break ] michael : you 're saying we did n't ... have sex ? but we -- we were in bed together . brenda : i know how it looked . um ... but -- but trust me . we never had sex . i -- you never touched ... me . michael : okay , brenda , i do n't understand . up until now , you 've been acting like we slept together . brenda : yeah , i was lying . michael : why ? [ scene_break ] spinelli : you know , things between maxie and myself have been somewhat volatile , and even more so between you and her . i - i would n't want her to think that we 're prying . ellie : [ sighs ] okay , well , what about dante and lulu ? [ scene_break ] lulu : are you telling me that we have a kid together ? dante : no . no , we do n't have a kid yet , but soon -- lulu : oh , my god . what ? am i -- am i pregnant ? and nobody told me ? ! dante : no , no . okay , stop . stop . lulu : then what are you talking about ? dante : we 're not pregnant . we have a surrogate . maxie 's carrying our child . lulu : who is maxie ? dante : she 's your best friend . you could n't carry our child . she offered to do it for us . we wanted a baby bad enough , so we decided to go ahead with having a surrogate . lulu : i do n't know what you 're talking about ! okay , i - i do n't know maxie . i do n't know if i want to have a baby , and i definitely do n't know you . dante : okay , yeah . i get it . i get it . i just thought that ... lulu : i 'm sorry . i 'm sorry . no . i just -- i - i - i ... dante : look , i 'm sorry . i thought -- i do n't know what i thought , okay ? lulu : [ voice breaking ] i do n't remember any of this , okay ? i -- the more you keep talking to me , the more i feel like i ca n't breathe . laura : dante . dante : yeah . laura : let 's switch seats . dante : sure . [ sighs ] i just -- i 'm just trying to help . lulu : [ sobbing ] luke : i know , son . i know . laura : shh . that 's okay . it 's okay , honey . it 's all right . everything 's gon na be okay . lulu : how ? laura : lulu , i promise you that everything is gon na be all right , okay ? [ scene_break ] ellie : whatever it is maxie 's hiding , do n't you think dante and lulu have the right to know everything about their baby ? i mean , would n't you want to know if it was your child ? spinelli : tell me what you know so far . [ scene_break ] maxie : you seriously want me back at crimson ? connie : yeah , well , like you said , the old connie promised you a job here if you planned my wedding to sonny . maxie : yeah , but then you blew up sonny 's life by revealing you were already married to johnny . not only did you humiliate the man you said you loved , you made me look like an inept , low - rent wedding planner , and i did n't even get my job back . connie : maxie , i acknowledge that i took advantage of you , and i just -- i want to make it up to you . maxie : okay , how do i know you 're not trying to take advantage of me again ? what 's the saying ? first time , shame on you . second time , i 'm a total idiot ? connie : maxie , i 'm offering you a job , not a bomb . okay . i do n't want anything from you in return except to come to work and to give me some creative ideas for crimson . i wo n't be bitchy or underhanded or treat you the way old connie did . maxie : yeah ? what about the way kate treated me ? [ scene_break ] olivia : michael slept with brenda ? sonny : yeah . olivia : no . who would even start a rumor like that ? sonny : it 's true . michael told me himself . olivia : oh , god . sonny : michael 's girlfriend broke up with him . he was upset . he -- he went to the lobby bar , got drunk . brenda was there . she took him to her room . carly walked in and saw them -- michael and brenda -- in bed together . olivia : i ca n't even -- i ca n't even im -- you know , actually , i can -- i can imagine . if i would have walked in on dante at -- sonny : okay , shh . olivia : if i would have had walked in on dante at michael 's age in bed with some woman that used to be his stepmother , i would have -- i would have picked up the nearest blunt object . i would have taken her freakin ' head off . you know i 'm not lying . sonny : that was carly 's first impulse , but she stopped because of michael . olivia : when then she 's a much better woman than i am . i admire her . sonny : well , do n't give her too much credit . you know why ? because she asked me to kill brenda . olivia : how hard was it for you to resist ? [ scene_break ] michael : you lied . we were both grieving over people that we lost , we both drank way too much -- that 's sort of the last thing i remember . brenda : that 's -- that 's really all that happened . michael : you made it seem like we went to your room and that we had sex . we slept together . why -- you tell me that did n't happen , that you lied about the whole thing ? brenda : i lied . i lied . i 'm sorry . michael : why ? why would you want me to think that i - i slept with you ? brenda : because i wanted to stick it to your mother . [ scene_break ] carly : always a pleasure talking to you , aj , but i 'm gon na go find a pedophile tramp who messed with my son . aj : fine . unbelievable . look , uh , you can put the torches away , all right ? i 'll spare you the search . carly : you 're not gon na talk me out of it . aj : no , no . i - i know where brenda is . carly : you do ? aj : mm - hmm . carly : where ? aj : with michael . [ scene_break ] ellie : oh , what do you think , danny ? are you gon na grow up to be a p.i . someday ? follow in the footsteps of your mommy and your illustrious godfather ? spinelli : well , danny can be anything he wants to be , but i would be honored and gratified to teach him the ins and outs of sleuthing . ellie : i could really use your expertise on that subject . spinelli : right . well , i am at your service . present the facts . ellie : okay . one -- maxie 's hiding a secret about the baby . two -- dr. westbourne shares that secret . and three -- the mystery is so important that maxie 's father , wsb agent frisco jones , felt the need to silence dr. westbourne in order to ensure that dante and lulu were kept in the dark . spinelli : frisco 's involvement does imply that this secret in a grave one . ellie : so grave that maxie lapsed into paroxysms of fear and hostility when i probed her about it . and earlier today in the hospital , when we had a chance meeting , she wildly overreacted and accused me of stalking . spinelli : gauging from maxie 's level of paranoia , we can assume that the secret is earth - shattering , life - altering , and irreversible . right , young sir ? so , what could it be ? what could it be ? ellie : oh , my god . damian , i know what it is . [ scene_break ] connie : maxie , i 'm gon na tell you something about kate . she did not have it easy . she was running from a very painful and hurtful life . she was constantly afraid that it was gon na catch up to her , and her facade of order and control was gon na crumble , so she focused on the future , on success , and she became demanding and -- and horrible , because she did n't want to backslide into the chaos . but i do n't have to be like that anymore , and i do n't have to lash out at others like connie did , because i 'm whole . maxie : so , you 're like a kinder , gentler version of yourself ? connie : well , i 'm not a pushover , and i 'm not a marshmallow , okay ? i just have really big ambitions for crimson . i want to take it to the top , and i think that you can help me do that , maxie , because you have a really good eye , and you have some good ideas . okay , you have a lot of really good ideas . and i would love it if you 'd help me . maxie : i did really love working here . connie : great . that 's great . there 's just one other thing we have to talk about . maxie : i was waiting for the other designer shoe to drop . connie : we need to talk about your baby problem . [ scene_break ] olivia : you did n't kill brenda , did you ? sonny : no . olivia : okay . i 'm just -- sonny : i mean ... olivia : it 's not that she does n't deserve it . i mean , but it would have been pretty tough on michael , i would imagine . god , that poor kid must be so confused . sonny : when michael told me what happened , i thought i was gon na be sick , but i did n't want michael to see how upset i was , 'cause he was already feeling guilty . i did n't want to make it worse . olivia : so you forgave him . sonny : what 's there to forgive ? he was -- he was drunk . he 's vulnerable . he made a mistake . michael did n't know what he was doing , but brenda sure did . and then i find out what really went down -- that she had no remorse , she felt no regret , and she threw it in carly 's face -- i - i [ sighs ] anyway , look , i wanted -- i wanted to find brenda . that 's what i was gon na do , okay ? then you called , told me that dante and lulu were due in , so i came straight here . olivia : so , if i would n't have called you , you would have gone and found brenda and done what ? [ gasps ] oh , god . there they are . [ laughs ] baby . dante : hi . okay . olivia : i 'm so glad to see you . i was so worried about you . let me get a look at you . god , you look like death warmed over . dante : look , there 's something we need to tell you . hey . olivia : lulu ! hi ! lulu : ugh , no , do n't ! olivia : honey , what 's wrong ? lulu : i do n't know who the hell you people are ! [ scene_break ] carly : brenda 's with michael ? aj : yeah , yeah . i was just with them . well , i left 'cause they wanted to be alone . you know , i got to tell you -- they really are cute together . they 're all lovey - dovey . carly : where are they ? where are they ? ! aj : um , they are , um ... did you really think i was gon na tell you ? [ scene_break ] michael : so , you made it seem like i slept with my dad 's ex - wife to get back at my mom ? that 's , uh -- that 's extreme . brenda : i know it sounds that way , but for me , it did n't -- it did n't feel that way , because your mother destroyed my engagement to jax . it 's because of your mother that jax left me . michael : brenda -- brenda : would you like to know what your mother did ? your mother sneaked into sonny 's house , eavesdropped on our private conversation , then she ran back to jax and blew the whole thing out of proportion . michael : my mom did n't lie . you were with my dad . brenda : oh , your mother did n't lie . that 's amazing . listen , yes , i was there , michael . you realize that 's none of your mother 's business . your mother blew the whole thing out of proportion with jax . listen , and i 'm at the nurses ' ball , and i 'm devastated because i have lost everything . once again , your mother has trashed my whole life . and then , there you are , up in my suite , you do n't remember anything , and it was perfect . michael : but i woke up in your bed . so , if we did n't sleep together , then what -- what happened ? brenda : you were really drunk , and so i was n't gon na let you drive home , and , uh ... i took you up to my room to help you sober up . you were really upset about your girlfriend . michael : she 's not coming back to me or port charles . i need another drink . brenda : no , no , no , no . you -- you do n't -- you do n't need another drink . you just -- here you go . you need some coffee and a cold shower . here you go . michael : no , do n't . i 'm fine . brenda : no , no . you 're not -- you 're not fine . it 's gon na make you feel better . i promise , okay ? i 'll go start the shower . you drink that . you need to sober up . drink that . when i came back from the bathroom , that 's when you gave me the opportunity to come up with the lie . michael : how ? brenda : well , you had taken off all of your clothes and passed out in my bed , so i figured i 'd let you sleep it off there . i went in the bathroom and undressed and laid down on the couch and tried to sleep there . michael : you 're lying . [ scene_break ] maxie : what baby problem ? why would you call it a problem ? have you been talking to ellie trout ? connie : ellie trout . was that the girl that i hit with my car ? maxie : yes , that 's ellie , and she 's completely fine now , so do n't even worry about her . why -- why are you calling this a baby problem ? connie : well , i was simply referring to the impact that this child 's gon na have on your work . i 'm gon na give you maternity leave . that 's a given , but how do i know that you 're gon na come back ? i mean , many women say that they 're gon na come back and have a career after having the baby , but once they lay their eyes on the little nugget , they get all googly . i mean , i do n't even get what that 's about . why do these intelligent women decide that they 're just gon na change their lives for the baby ? suddenly , they 're -- they 're staying home and they 're covered in baby puke and they 're falling in love with this little angel , and they want to be around and be there with the baby daddy . and i can -- i can see that happening with you , maxie . [ scene_break ] spinelli : so , you 've ascertained what maxie 's hiding ? ellie : well , i hope i 'm mistaken , and i feel terrible for dante and lulu , and no wonder maxie does n't want to tell them . spinelli : well , what ? what is it ? ellie : obviously , there is a problem with the baby . spinelli : ellie , are you certain ? ellie : i mean , it 's just a hypothesis , but it fits all of the parameters . ever since the embryo was implanted , maxie 's been very reluctant to express her fears about the baby to dante and lulu . spinelli : hence her call to me on christmas eve . she came to me for comfort rather than talking to dante and lulu . ellie : and , on new year 's eve , when she fell -- the same night you two slept together -- look , i know we decided to put that incident in the past , but i 'm just pointing it out , because she did n't want dante and lulu to know about the fall , either . spinelli : yeah , but she said the fall was consequential . in fact , dr. westbourne checked her out and said that the baby was fine . ellie : well , dr. westbourne must have found a problem in utero with the fetus when dante and lulu were n't around . and now maxie 's terrified to tell them . spinelli : if this is true , that -- i mean , it would be devastating . come here , bud . ellie : so , she recruited her father to help silence dr. westbourne . spinelli : i mean , is there some other reason that frisco could have involved himself ? ellie : damian , what else could be so serious that maxie would n't want dante and lulu to know ? [ scene_break ] olivia : lulu . honey , of course , you recognize me . i 'm olivia . i 'm your mother- in - law . that 's sonny . that 's your father - in - law . lulu : okay , no one is listening to me . i do n't know you people , and i do n't want to . laura : i 'll go . i 'll go . olivia : dante , i 'm sorry . did that just happen , or am i having another hallucination ? dante : no . it -- it happened . look , i wanted to tell you when i called you , but i thought she would be better by the time we got home . luke : stavros cassadine almost killed her . dante : trauma has -- i do n't know -- messed up her memory . sonny : obviously , she does n't recognize me or olivia . luke : well , it is n't just you guys . she does n't recognize any of us . [ scene_break ] brenda : i 'm not lying . i - i was lying before , but i 'm telling you the truth now . michael : you did n't sleep on the couch . when my mom walked in , you were in bed with me . brenda : yeah , that 's -- that 's what i wanted . i wanted carly to walk in on us together in bed . michael : h - how did you do that ? what did you do ? brenda : in the morning , you were still passed out in the bed . and i had been up all night thinking about everything that i had lost with jax because of carly . i just snapped . you know , i - i just wanted payback , and i knew your mother would freak out if she thought we 'd been together . so , i decided that i was going to find a way to get your mother up into my room . and it just came to me . hi . uh , can i get the rise and shine breakfast , uh , sent to my room for two people ? yeah , i - i know that mr. jacks checked out yesterday , but , um [ clears throat ] yeah , actually , could you just charge everything to carly jacks ? we 're really good friends . please ask her . okay , thank you . bye . and , um -- and then i got into bed with you . and i waited for your mother to arrive . the rest is history . michael : so , mom was right . you were using me . [ scene_break ] carly : tell me where brenda and michael are . that woman is never gon na touch my son again . aj : carly , that is n't your decision to make anymore . now , pay attention very closely -- michael is a grown man . i mean , come on . how embarrassing to have your mother , you know , uh , barge in on you and police your sex life ? carly : that bitch is exploiting our son ! aj : uh , we should all get exploited like that . carly : you 're a pig . aj : hey , come on , look . i respect my son , and you are not gon na cause another uncomfortable scene , so forgive me , but i just -- i ca n't tell you where the new lovers are . whoa . hey . ho . ho . come on . carly : [ pointing scissors at his crotch ] tell me . tell me where they are or i 'm gon na make you a falsetto who will never make love or father another child again . [ scene_break ] connie : see , there you go . you 're getting sentimental about the baby already . maxie : no , no . that 's not it . i [ sighs ] this is n't my baby . connie : what ? ! what ? ! whose baby is it ? maxie : it 's , uh , dante 's and lulu 's . i 'm carrying it for them . connie : should i know that ? i should know that . i 'm so sorry . i 've been focused on other things . you 're a surrogate ? maxie : yeah , i am . connie : so , wait . you 're gon na go through nine months of misery and fat and bloating and you 're not even gon na keep the child ? maxie : no . dante and lulu are gon na raise the baby . connie : well , that 's good news as far as i 'm concerned , because you do n't need maternity leave , so you can just have the baby and hand it right off to them . i guess it makes it easier that it 's not flesh and blood , right ? you do n't get so attached . [ scene_break ] dante : she -- she does n't even remember who maxie is or that she 's carrying out child . i mean , she freaked out when i told her we were gon na be parents . sonny : i 'm sorry , dante . olivia : well , there 's got to be some kind of treatment to reverse what stavros did . there 's got to be a way to -- to help lulu remember . luke : well , we 're gon na take her over to general hospital . we 're hoping that dr. drake can come up with something , i hope . olivia : [ sighs ] oh , god , honey . i - i am so sorry . dante : i 'm just -- i 'm really worried about her . i mean , it 's her , you know ? you can tell with her reactions , but she 's surrounded by people who are strangers to her , and she 's terrified , and i understand that , and that 's why she 's pushing everyone away , but she 's trying to handle it all by herself . [ scene_break ] laura : i know this is n't easy , honey , but dante 's parents did n't mean to upset you . lulu : no , i get it . it 's not their fault . they want me to be someone that i - i ca n't be . laura : they love you just like your dad and me , like dante . we -- we all just want you to be yourself . that 's all . lulu : yeah , i - i want that . i -- believe me , i - i want to make you all happy and be this person that you want , but i do n't know her , okay ? i - i do n't know myself . laura : okay . please , do n't run away again . you could get lost . lulu : see , that is it . that is what i am . i 'm lost . laura : come here . it 's okay . [ scene_break ] sonny : you know what , luke ? seeing your daughter go through this -- it 's -- it 's got to be tough . i 'm sorry . luke : it 's just so bizarre . you know , after what we went through to find her and get her back , and now it 's like ... she is n't lulu . sonny : i understand more than you know . [ scene_break ] connie : why all the drama ? is it the hormones , or are you really attached to someone else 's baby ? maxie : no , i am giving this baby to dante and lulu . that 's the plan , and i 'm fine . connie : you sure ? maxie : yes . connie : okay , because you 're not gon na be good to me or crimson if you 're gon na burst into tears every five minutes . maxie : i wo n't . i promise . connie : so , we have a deal ? maxie : yeah . connie : great ! welcome to crimson . do n't look so excited . okay . [ both chuckle ] connie : i promise i 'm not gon na be as mean to you as old kate or connie , okay ? uh ! see you tomorrow . maxie : okay , great . connie : okay . and if you 're not here at 8 : 30 a.m. sharp , do n't bother coming at all . maxie : some things never change . connie : i heard that . [ scene_break ] aj : [ sighs , groans ] carly : what 's it gon na be , aj -- brenda 's location or the little that 's left of your manhood ? aj : okay , now , think this through , because if you do this , you 'll never get another chance with me . carly : you 're disgusting . where are they ? tell me or i 'm gon na put you out of commission . aj : okay , all right . relax . relax . they 're at kelly 's . they 're just going public with the relationship , innocently getting to know each other better , okay ? carly : there 's nothing innocent about brenda . [ scene_break ] brenda : i 'm sorry . i was using you . it 's not for the reason you -- you think . it 's -- i was -- i was truly just trying to get back at carly . michael : and my dad and i were just collateral damage . brenda : i , uh -- michael , i would never do anything to hurt your relationship with your father , and if i have hurt you and sonny , i - i - i hope you can forgive me . michael : [ sighs ] well , if you can forgive me for getting sloppy drunk and passing out in your bed , then , yeah . [ sighs ] brenda : that 's okay . michael : look , thank you for telling me . it 's obviously a very big relief that we did n't , uh ... you know , do anything . brenda : yeah . listen , i know you probably do n't want to hear this right now , but you are gon na meet a really great girl one day , and she 's gon na completely make you forget your broken heart , and she will be the luckiest girl on the planet . [ chuckles ] [ scene_break ] spinelli : if your theory is correct and there is indeed something wrong with maxie 's baby , i - i ca n't even fathom it . ellie : i ca n't , either . spinelli : well , i mean , so maybe we 're blowing this out of proportion . ellie : oh , i hope so . but it makes it all the more important for us to pursue this . damian , we have to find out what 's wrong with the baby . maxie : are you talking about my baby ? are you still harping on some imaginary secret about my baby , ellie ? ellie : no . maxie : really ? ellie : no . maxie , you misunderstood . maxie : no , i do n't think so . ellie : we were talking about this baby . damian 's watching baby daniel , and we think he has a touch of rhinitis . maxie : what ? spinelli : oh , uh , ellie 's just saying we -- we fear little daniel may have a bit of a cold . [ chuckles ] maxie , is everything okay ? maxie : i 'm just tired . that 's all . [ chuckles ] ellie : close call . spinelli : yeah , look . i 'm not comfortable with this . we -- we should n't involve ourselves . ellie : damian , i ca n't let this go . i just -- i ca n't . the fate of an innocent child hangs in the balance , and so does the fate of its parents . [ scene_break ] dante : lulu . hey . [ chuckles ] are you , uh -- are you feeling any better ? all right , well , maybe -- maybe we should go to the hospital now . laura : i 've got her . come on , hon . let 's go . luke : hey . it 's gon na be all right . dante : yeah . [ sighs ] sonny : i think what you 're gon na have to do is let , you know , patrick do his thing . he 's brilliant at it . olivia : yeah . yeah , the hard part is over . hon , you got her home safe and sound . this is just gon na be a little bit of a setback , okay ? dante : i hope so . olivia : yeah . dante : um , look , thank you both for being here and welcoming us . i know under other circumstances , she would have really appreciated it . olivia : i guess the balloons and the sign was a little much , huh ? dante : no , ma , it was great . thank you . thank you . thank you . sonny : yeah . dante : i 'll call you guys if we find anything out . olivia : great . oh , my god . this is terrible . what if she 's never the same old lulu that loves our son ? sonny : let 's just hope dante never has to find out . [ cell phone rings ] sonny : whoa . i got to get this . olivia : yeah , okay . sonny : hello ? uh ... hold -- hold on a second . you know , i think -- look , dante came back to us in one piece . i believe that lulu can , too . olivia : yeah . and maybe one day connie will , too . sonny : all right . what do you want ? [ scene_break ] carly : where 's brenda ? michael : she 's gone . [ scene_break ] sonny : no , i can not deal with this right now . i will call you tomorrow . | sonny and olivia wait at the airport for dante and lulu 's flight and commiserate about not being able to be with their partners . olivia tells sonny that connie is suffering too . sonny tells olivia that michael slept with brenda and that she had no remorse and went so far as to rub it in carly 's face . carly tells aj that she is going to find brenda and run her out of town . aj says brenda wo n't be hard to find because she is with michael . brenda tells michael that they did not have sex when he was in his drunken blackout . she tells him that he passed out and she made it look like they slept together to get back at carly for feeding jax overblown information from a conversation that she had eavesdropped on . she apologizes for using him to get back at his mother . he forgives her and asks her to forgive him for passing out in her bed . she tells him that his broken heart will mend and that he will meet someone who will be the luckiest girl in the world to have him . carly storms into kelly 's , but brenda has already left . | <s>[INST] spinelli : have no fear , sam . i am delighted to take care of danny for a few hours while you bond with your new foster son , and may i say that i think rafe is very lucky to have you take him in . okay . there 's no -- no thanks needed . i 'm -- i 'm happy to spend this time with danny . it is unexpected bliss to be daddy for a day . [ scene_break ] [ knock on door ] maxie : i got the text that you wanted to see me , ka -- uh , connie ? connie : yes , maxie . come on in . come on in . what are you loitering out there ? come on . what are -- what are you afraid of ? maxie : [ chuckles ] you . [ scene_break ] olivia : oh , good . i 'm not too late . it took me longer than i thought to get the balloons . i was afraid i was gon na miss them . sonny : no , the flight 's been delayed , so you can just go ahead and catch your breath . connie : oh , sonny , can you believe it ? i should never doubted that dante would find lulu before it was too late . gosh , she must be so happy to be coming home , right ? [ scene_break ] laura : well , at least lulu agreed to come back to port charles with us . luke : yeah . i was n't sure she was going to there for a while . [ sighs ] she does n't remember anything about her life . i mean , she ... still looks at us like we 're complete strangers . laura : yeah , i know . she 's so confused . one minute , stavros has her locked up and frozen . now we 've got her on a plane with people she does n't recognize going back to a home she does n't remember . luke : well , as soon as we land , we should get her over to general hospital and see if somebody can figure out what it is that stavros did to her memory . laura : yeah . but , you know , that , in and of itself , can be pretty terrifying , you know ? dealing with doctors who are trying to cure you is a painful reminder that you are broken . [ scene_break ] dante : lulu . [ scene_break ] olivia : okay . now everything can finally get back to normal , like the way it was before lulu was kidnapped . sonny : as normal as it gets around here . olivia : [ chuckles ] god , i was so worried about that vision of dante saying that he could n't save lulu , but i guess -- i guess everything really did turn out okay . well , i guess for dante and lulu , it did . how are you holding up ? sonny : uh , you know , dante and lulu 's homecoming is the one bright spot of my day . olivia : i understand . i really do . it hurts not to be with the person that you love . [ sighs ] [ scene_break ] aj : so , what 's in the bag ? medication for your latest std ? carly : it 's antirejection medicine for josslyn . aj : right , uh , i forgot that elizabeth consented for her little boy to donate his kidney to save your daughter 's life . um ... how 's josslyn ? carly : my daughter 's fine . i 'm worried about michael , and that 's why i have to find brenda . [ scene_break ] michael : wait . how could we change what happened ? brenda : i have a confession to make . michael : and what do you have to confess ? brenda : um ... you and i ... um , we never had sex . [ scene_break ] olivia : you know , the minute that you told me that connie was back , but she was n't with you , i knew something was wrong . and then when you said that she broke up with you , i ... went right over there to try to talk some sense into her . sonny : how 'd that work out ? olivia : not so good . sonny : [ chuckles ] i 'm not surprised . olivia : well , you know , neither kate nor connie were ever pushovers . you roll them all into one , you got a very formidable woman , sonny . she honestly believes that if she gets back with you , she 's gon na turn into two different people . sonny : she 's got to do what 's best for her health . olivia : yeah . but this is n't easy for her . she really is hurting . you got to know that . sonny : well , i mean , i fought her , you know , to the end , and i realized i 'm just gon na make it worse . olivia : [ sighs ] you know , she can talk till she 's blue in the face , and so can those doctors of hers . i will never , ever understand how it could be better for someone 's mental health to not be with the person that you love . sonny : [ chuckles ] [ scene_break ] connie : come on , maxie . you do n't have to be afraid of me . i 'm not gon na bite you ... unless you give me a reason to . maxie : [ chuckles ] sorry . you know , i 'm not usually a timid person , but these are exceptional circumstances . in the sense that , um ... well , i do n't know , really , who you are . connie : well , i -- maxie : i 'm not even sure who i want you to be -- kate or connie . i might not want you to be either one . i mean , the last time i worked for you , you were connie pretending to be kate , and you had me set up your tacky wedding to sonny . you made my life a living hell -- telling me that my ideas were boring , when they were actually really good . and i tried really hard to prove that you should rehire me , when the entire time , all you were really doing was setting up sonny to be humiliated in front of his family and friends . connie : i know , and i feel very badly that you got in between sonny and connie , but that was the old connie , and things are different now . i 'm a new person , and i 'm fully integrated . maxie : what does that mean ? connie : well , that means that i 'm not the old kate you knew or the connie that tricked you . i 'm parts of connie and little pieces of kate . maxie : hmm . i hope you kept the good parts . connie : [ chuckles ] well , you can let me know what you think after . maxie : [ sighs ] after what ? connie : after i offer you a job . [ scene_break ] spinelli : so , samantha is taking in a foster son named rafe , and so she thought she would help him get settled in tonight and devote her time to him , so she asked if i could take care of danny . ellie : oh . i thought you were leaving town on a case . spinelli : well , not until tomorrow morning . and , believe me , i - i - i 'm still highly aware that you do n't want children , so i 'm not -- ellie : damian , stop . stop . i 've chosen to remain childless , because i do n't want to exacerbate the overpopulation of planet earth . i have not objection to children who are already here . in fact , i like kids a lot , and even if i did n't , which , again , i do , danny would be nearly impossible to resist . spinelli : so , uh , he can stay with us tonight ? ellie : under one condition . spinelli : okay . what 's that ? ellie : you have to help me figure out what maxie 's hiding about dante and lulu 's baby . [ scene_break ] dante : it 's a long flight from athens , huh ? lulu : i guess . dante : well , we 're almost on the ground , and when we are , we -- we 'll be in the city , and maybe seeing all that stuff will bring some memories back . [ scene_break ] laura : i 'm not sure this is a good idea . luke : well , she 's his wife . he 's entitled to talk to her . laura : yes , but she 's overwhelmed . i do n't want him to upset her any further . luke : laura , he loves her . he 's walked through fire to find her . laura : i know . and sometimes that kind of love can feel like pressure . [ scene_break ] dante : hey , lulu . we used to spend a lot of time on the waterfront , on this one pier , in particular , and ... i do n't know , again , maybe it 's just something you 'll see and -- and some things will start to come back to you . lulu : i 'm sorry , i 'm -- i 'm really tired , david . dante : wh -- it 's , uh , dante . lulu : right . but i - i 'm still tired . dante : you 're not tired , lulu . you 're scared and confused , and when we get home , you 're gon na feel better . lulu : port charles , new york . dante : right . where there 's people who love you and the rest of our families and a bunch of friends . lulu : but see , the only person that i can remember ... is the guy who supposedly kidnapped me . dante : okay , great . well , let 's go with that . let 's stick with some positive things . we 're gon na -- we 're gon na get off this plane , we 're gon na be back home , you 're gon na remember things , and you 're gon na remember that we were happy together , because of -- especially right now , because of our baby . lulu : baby ? wh - what are you talking about ? what baby ? [ scene_break ] aj : are you seriously still upset that michael slept with brenda ? i mean , come on . he 's a grown man . let it go . carly : oh , right . because michael banged a supermodel . who cares that she used to be his stepmother ? man , you make my skin crawl . aj : okay , you know what ? you are obsessed . carly : [ chuckles ] aj : why are you still looking for brenda ? i thought you guys already had it out . carly : i 'm gon na run her ass out of town , since sonny refuses to kill her . [ scene_break ] sonny : i knew that dante , luke , and laura had made it to the island , and i was pretty sure they were gon na find lulu , but there was something else that happened , and i -- i ca n't even wrap my head around it . olivia : what is this other thing ? what -- this other thing you keep talking about -- what ? sonny : nothing . you do n't even have to worry about it . i do n't even want you involved in it . olivia : well [ scoffs ] sonny , i do worry about it . you know , we got a son together . we got a -- we got a grandbaby on the way . sonny : right . right . olivia : so , anything that affects you is very likely to affect them , so ... sonny : not this . olivia : wh -- okay . are you gon na just make me stand her badgering you about it and keep on and on and on with you ? because you know i will wear you down . sonny : are you gon na keep asking me , or are you gon na let go of this ? olivia : sonny , i know when you get like this -- when you 're all dodgy -- and when you 're dodging around , you 're covering up something that 's very painful . and as i 'm looking at you right now , i can see something is eating you alive . so , why do n't you just tell me what it is ? sonny , it 's me . you know you can trust me . sonny : the night of the nurses ' ball , brenda slept with michael . [ scene_break ] michael : you 're saying we did n't ... have sex ? but we -- we were in bed together . brenda : i know how it looked . um ... but -- but trust me . we never had sex . i -- you never touched ... me . michael : okay , brenda , i do n't understand . up until now , you 've been acting like we slept together . brenda : yeah , i was lying . michael : why ? [ scene_break ] spinelli : you know , things between maxie and myself have been somewhat volatile , and even more so between you and her . i - i would n't want her to think that we 're prying . ellie : [ sighs ] okay , well , what about dante and lulu ? [ scene_break ] lulu : are you telling me that we have a kid together ? dante : no . no , we do n't have a kid yet , but soon -- lulu : oh , my god . what ? am i -- am i pregnant ? and nobody told me ? ! dante : no , no . okay , stop . stop . lulu : then what are you talking about ? dante : we 're not pregnant . we have a surrogate . maxie 's carrying our child . lulu : who is maxie ? dante : she 's your best friend . you could n't carry our child . she offered to do it for us . we wanted a baby bad enough , so we decided to go ahead with having a surrogate . lulu : i do n't know what you 're talking about ! okay , i - i do n't know maxie . i do n't know if i want to have a baby , and i definitely do n't know you . dante : okay , yeah . i get it . i get it . i just thought that ... lulu : i 'm sorry . i 'm sorry . no . i just -- i - i - i ... dante : look , i 'm sorry . i thought -- i do n't know what i thought , okay ? lulu : [ voice breaking ] i do n't remember any of this , okay ? i -- the more you keep talking to me , the more i feel like i ca n't breathe . laura : dante . dante : yeah . laura : let 's switch seats . dante : sure . [ sighs ] i just -- i 'm just trying to help . lulu : [ sobbing ] luke : i know , son . i know . laura : shh . that 's okay . it 's okay , honey . it 's all right . everything 's gon na be okay . lulu : how ? laura : lulu , i promise you that everything is gon na be all right , okay ? [ scene_break ] ellie : whatever it is maxie 's hiding , do n't you think dante and lulu have the right to know everything about their baby ? i mean , would n't you want to know if it was your child ? spinelli : tell me what you know so far . [ scene_break ] maxie : you seriously want me back at crimson ? connie : yeah , well , like you said , the old connie promised you a job here if you planned my wedding to sonny . maxie : yeah , but then you blew up sonny 's life by revealing you were already married to johnny . not only did you humiliate the man you said you loved , you made me look like an inept , low - rent wedding planner , and i did n't even get my job back . connie : maxie , i acknowledge that i took advantage of you , and i just -- i want to make it up to you . maxie : okay , how do i know you 're not trying to take advantage of me again ? what 's the saying ? first time , shame on you . second time , i 'm a total idiot ? connie : maxie , i 'm offering you a job , not a bomb . okay . i do n't want anything from you in return except to come to work and to give me some creative ideas for crimson . i wo n't be bitchy or underhanded or treat you the way old connie did . maxie : yeah ? what about the way kate treated me ? [ scene_break ] olivia : michael slept with brenda ? sonny : yeah . olivia : no . who would even start a rumor like that ? sonny : it 's true . michael told me himself . olivia : oh , god . sonny : michael 's girlfriend broke up with him . he was upset . he -- he went to the lobby bar , got drunk . brenda was there . she took him to her room . carly walked in and saw them -- michael and brenda -- in bed together . olivia : i ca n't even -- i ca n't even im -- you know , actually , i can -- i can imagine . if i would have walked in on dante at -- sonny : okay , shh . olivia : if i would have had walked in on dante at michael 's age in bed with some woman that used to be his stepmother , i would have -- i would have picked up the nearest blunt object . i would have taken her freakin ' head off . you know i 'm not lying . sonny : that was carly 's first impulse , but she stopped because of michael . olivia : when then she 's a much better woman than i am . i admire her . sonny : well , do n't give her too much credit . you know why ? because she asked me to kill brenda . olivia : how hard was it for you to resist ? [ scene_break ] michael : you lied . we were both grieving over people that we lost , we both drank way too much -- that 's sort of the last thing i remember . brenda : that 's -- that 's really all that happened . michael : you made it seem like we went to your room and that we had sex . we slept together . why -- you tell me that did n't happen , that you lied about the whole thing ? brenda : i lied . i lied . i 'm sorry . michael : why ? why would you want me to think that i - i slept with you ? brenda : because i wanted to stick it to your mother .

[ scene_break ] ellie : oh , what do you think , danny ? are you gon na grow up to be a p.i . someday ? follow in the footsteps of your mommy and your illustrious godfather ? spinelli : well , danny can be anything he wants to be , but i would be honored and gratified to teach him the ins and outs of sleuthing . ellie : i could really use your expertise on that subject . spinelli : right . well , i am at your service . present the facts . ellie : okay . one -- maxie 's hiding a secret about the baby . two -- dr. westbourne shares that secret . and three -- the mystery is so important that maxie 's father , wsb agent frisco jones , felt the need to silence dr. westbourne in order to ensure that dante and lulu were kept in the dark . spinelli : frisco 's involvement does imply that this secret in a grave one . ellie : so grave that maxie lapsed into paroxysms of fear and hostility when i probed her about it . and earlier today in the hospital , when we had a chance meeting , she wildly overreacted and accused me of stalking . spinelli : gauging from maxie 's level of paranoia , we can assume that the secret is earth - shattering , life - altering , and irreversible . right , young sir ? so , what could it be ? what could it be ? ellie : oh , my god . damian , i know what it is . [ scene_break ] connie : maxie , i 'm gon na tell you something about kate . she did not have it easy . she was running from a very painful and hurtful life . she was constantly afraid that it was gon na catch up to her , and her facade of order and control was gon na crumble , so she focused on the future , on success , and she became demanding and -- and horrible , because she did n't want to backslide into the chaos . but i do n't have to be like that anymore , and i do n't have to lash out at others like connie did , because i 'm whole . maxie : so , you 're like a kinder , gentler version of yourself ? connie : well , i 'm not a pushover , and i 'm not a marshmallow , okay ? i just have really big ambitions for crimson . i want to take it to the top , and i think that you can help me do that , maxie , because you have a really good eye , and you have some good ideas . okay , you have a lot of really good ideas . and i would love it if you 'd help me . maxie : i did really love working here . connie : great . that 's great . there 's just one other thing we have to talk about . maxie : i was waiting for the other designer shoe to drop . connie : we need to talk about your baby problem . [ scene_break ] olivia : you did n't kill brenda , did you ? sonny : no . olivia : okay . i 'm just -- sonny : i mean ... olivia : it 's not that she does n't deserve it . i mean , but it would have been pretty tough on michael , i would imagine . god , that poor kid must be so confused . sonny : when michael told me what happened , i thought i was gon na be sick , but i did n't want michael to see how upset i was , 'cause he was already feeling guilty . i did n't want to make it worse . olivia : so you forgave him . sonny : what 's there to forgive ? he was -- he was drunk . he 's vulnerable . he made a mistake . michael did n't know what he was doing , but brenda sure did . and then i find out what really went down -- that she had no remorse , she felt no regret , and she threw it in carly 's face -- i - i [ sighs ] anyway , look , i wanted -- i wanted to find brenda . that 's what i was gon na do , okay ? then you called , told me that dante and lulu were due in , so i came straight here . olivia : so , if i would n't have called you , you would have gone and found brenda and done what ? [ gasps ] oh , god . there they are . [ laughs ] baby . dante : hi . okay . olivia : i 'm so glad to see you . i was so worried about you . let me get a look at you . god , you look like death warmed over . dante : look , there 's something we need to tell you . hey . olivia : lulu ! hi ! lulu : ugh , no , do n't ! olivia : honey , what 's wrong ? lulu : i do n't know who the hell you people are ! [ scene_break ] carly : brenda 's with michael ? aj : yeah , yeah . i was just with them . well , i left 'cause they wanted to be alone . you know , i got to tell you -- they really are cute together . they 're all lovey - dovey . carly : where are they ? where are they ? ! aj : um , they are , um ... did you really think i was gon na tell you ? [ scene_break ] michael : so , you made it seem like i slept with my dad 's ex - wife to get back at my mom ? that 's , uh -- that 's extreme . brenda : i know it sounds that way , but for me , it did n't -- it did n't feel that way , because your mother destroyed my engagement to jax . it 's because of your mother that jax left me . michael : brenda -- brenda : would you like to know what your mother did ? your mother sneaked into sonny 's house , eavesdropped on our private conversation , then she ran back to jax and blew the whole thing out of proportion . michael : my mom did n't lie . you were with my dad . brenda : oh , your mother did n't lie . that 's amazing . listen , yes , i was there , michael . you realize that 's none of your mother 's business . your mother blew the whole thing out of proportion with jax . listen , and i 'm at the nurses ' ball , and i 'm devastated because i have lost everything . once again , your mother has trashed my whole life . and then , there you are , up in my suite , you do n't remember anything , and it was perfect . michael : but i woke up in your bed . so , if we did n't sleep together , then what -- what happened ? brenda : you were really drunk , and so i was n't gon na let you drive home , and , uh ... i took you up to my room to help you sober up . you were really upset about your girlfriend . michael : she 's not coming back to me or port charles . i need another drink . brenda : no , no , no , no . you -- you do n't -- you do n't need another drink . you just -- here you go . you need some coffee and a cold shower . here you go . michael : no , do n't . i 'm fine . brenda : no , no . you 're not -- you 're not fine . it 's gon na make you feel better . i promise , okay ? i 'll go start the shower . you drink that . you need to sober up . drink that . when i came back from the bathroom , that 's when you gave me the opportunity to come up with the lie . michael : how ? brenda : well , you had taken off all of your clothes and passed out in my bed , so i figured i 'd let you sleep it off there . i went in the bathroom and undressed and laid down on the couch and tried to sleep there . michael : you 're lying . [ scene_break ] maxie : what baby problem ? why would you call it a problem ? have you been talking to ellie trout ? connie : ellie trout . was that the girl that i hit with my car ? maxie : yes , that 's ellie , and she 's completely fine now , so do n't even worry about her . why -- why are you calling this a baby problem ? connie : well , i was simply referring to the impact that this child 's gon na have on your work . i 'm gon na give you maternity leave . that 's a given , but how do i know that you 're gon na come back ? i mean , many women say that they 're gon na come back and have a career after having the baby , but once they lay their eyes on the little nugget , they get all googly . i mean , i do n't even get what that 's about . why do these intelligent women decide that they 're just gon na change their lives for the baby ? suddenly , they 're -- they 're staying home and they 're covered in baby puke and they 're falling in love with this little angel , and they want to be around and be there with the baby daddy . and i can -- i can see that happening with you , maxie . [ scene_break ] spinelli : so , you 've ascertained what maxie 's hiding ? ellie : well , i hope i 'm mistaken , and i feel terrible for dante and lulu , and no wonder maxie does n't want to tell them . spinelli : well , what ? what is it ? ellie : obviously , there is a problem with the baby . spinelli : ellie , are you certain ? ellie : i mean , it 's just a hypothesis , but it fits all of the parameters . ever since the embryo was implanted , maxie 's been very reluctant to express her fears about the baby to dante and lulu . spinelli : hence her call to me on christmas eve . she came to me for comfort rather than talking to dante and lulu . ellie : and , on new year 's eve , when she fell -- the same night you two slept together -- look , i know we decided to put that incident in the past , but i 'm just pointing it out , because she did n't want dante and lulu to know about the fall , either . spinelli : yeah , but she said the fall was consequential . in fact , dr. westbourne checked her out and said that the baby was fine . ellie : well , dr. westbourne must have found a problem in utero with the fetus when dante and lulu were n't around . and now maxie 's terrified to tell them . spinelli : if this is true , that -- i mean , it would be devastating . come here , bud . ellie : so , she recruited her father to help silence dr. westbourne . spinelli : i mean , is there some other reason that frisco could have involved himself ? ellie : damian , what else could be so serious that maxie would n't want dante and lulu to know ? [ scene_break ] olivia : lulu . honey , of course , you recognize me . i 'm olivia . i 'm your mother- in - law . that 's sonny . that 's your father - in - law . lulu : okay , no one is listening to me . i do n't know you people , and i do n't want to . laura : i 'll go . i 'll go . olivia : dante , i 'm sorry . did that just happen , or am i having another hallucination ? dante : no . it -- it happened . look , i wanted to tell you when i called you , but i thought she would be better by the time we got home . luke : stavros cassadine almost killed her . dante : trauma has -- i do n't know -- messed up her memory . sonny : obviously , she does n't recognize me or olivia . luke : well , it is n't just you guys . she does n't recognize any of us . [ scene_break ] brenda : i 'm not lying . i - i was lying before , but i 'm telling you the truth now . michael : you did n't sleep on the couch . when my mom walked in , you were in bed with me . brenda : yeah , that 's -- that 's what i wanted . i wanted carly to walk in on us together in bed . michael : h - how did you do that ? what did you do ? brenda : in the morning , you were still passed out in the bed . and i had been up all night thinking about everything that i had lost with jax because of carly . i just snapped . you know , i - i just wanted payback , and i knew your mother would freak out if she thought we 'd been together . so , i decided that i was going to find a way to get your mother up into my room . and it just came to me . hi . uh , can i get the rise and shine breakfast , uh , sent to my room for two people ? yeah , i - i know that mr. jacks checked out yesterday , but , um [ clears throat ] yeah , actually , could you just charge everything to carly jacks ? we 're really good friends . please ask her . okay , thank you . bye . and , um -- and then i got into bed with you . and i waited for your mother to arrive . the rest is history . michael : so , mom was right . you were using me . [ scene_break ] carly : tell me where brenda and michael are . that woman is never gon na touch my son again . aj : carly , that is n't your decision to make anymore . now , pay attention very closely -- michael is a grown man . i mean , come on . how embarrassing to have your mother , you know , uh , barge in on you and police your sex life ? carly : that bitch is exploiting our son ! aj : uh , we should all get exploited like that . carly : you 're a pig . aj : hey , come on , look . i respect my son , and you are not gon na cause another uncomfortable scene , so forgive me , but i just -- i ca n't tell you where the new lovers are . whoa . hey . ho . ho . come on . carly : [ pointing scissors at his crotch ] tell me . tell me where they are or i 'm gon na make you a falsetto who will never make love or father another child again . [ scene_break ] connie : see , there you go . you 're getting sentimental about the baby already . maxie : no , no . that 's not it . i [ sighs ] this is n't my baby . connie : what ? ! what ? ! whose baby is it ? maxie : it 's , uh , dante 's and lulu 's . i 'm carrying it for them . connie : should i know that ? i should know that . i 'm so sorry . i 've been focused on other things . you 're a surrogate ? maxie : yeah , i am . connie : so , wait . you 're gon na go through nine months of misery and fat and bloating and you 're not even gon na keep the child ? maxie : no . dante and lulu are gon na raise the baby . connie : well , that 's good news as far as i 'm concerned , because you do n't need maternity leave , so you can just have the baby and hand it right off to them . i guess it makes it easier that it 's not flesh and blood , right ? you do n't get so attached . [ scene_break ] dante : she -- she does n't even remember who maxie is or that she 's carrying out child . i mean , she freaked out when i told her we were gon na be parents . sonny : i 'm sorry , dante . olivia : well , there 's got to be some kind of treatment to reverse what stavros did . there 's got to be a way to -- to help lulu remember . luke : well , we 're gon na take her over to general hospital . we 're hoping that dr. drake can come up with something , i hope . olivia : [ sighs ] oh , god , honey . i - i am so sorry . dante : i 'm just -- i 'm really worried about her . i mean , it 's her , you know ? you can tell with her reactions , but she 's surrounded by people who are strangers to her , and she 's terrified , and i understand that , and that 's why she 's pushing everyone away , but she 's trying to handle it all by herself . [ scene_break ] laura : i know this is n't easy , honey , but dante 's parents did n't mean to upset you . lulu : no , i get it . it 's not their fault . they want me to be someone that i - i ca n't be . laura : they love you just like your dad and me , like dante . we -- we all just want you to be yourself . that 's all . lulu : yeah , i - i want that . i -- believe me , i - i want to make you all happy and be this person that you want , but i do n't know her , okay ? i - i do n't know myself . laura : okay . please , do n't run away again . you could get lost . lulu : see , that is it . that is what i am . i 'm lost . laura : come here . it 's okay . [ scene_break ] sonny : you know what , luke ? seeing your daughter go through this -- it 's -- it 's got to be tough . i 'm sorry . luke : it 's just so bizarre . you know , after what we went through to find her and get her back , and now it 's like ... she is n't lulu . sonny : i understand more than you know . [ scene_break ] connie : why all the drama ? is it the hormones , or are you really attached to someone else 's baby ? maxie : no , i am giving this baby to dante and lulu . that 's the plan , and i 'm fine . connie : you sure ? maxie : yes . connie : okay , because you 're not gon na be good to me or crimson if you 're gon na burst into tears every five minutes . maxie : i wo n't . i promise . connie : so , we have a deal ? maxie : yeah . connie : great ! welcome to crimson . do n't look so excited . okay . [ both chuckle ] connie : i promise i 'm not gon na be as mean to you as old kate or connie , okay ? uh ! see you tomorrow . maxie : okay , great . connie : okay . and if you 're not here at 8 : 30 a.m. sharp , do n't bother coming at all . maxie : some things never change . connie : i heard that . [ scene_break ] aj : [ sighs , groans ] carly : what 's it gon na be , aj -- brenda 's location or the little that 's left of your manhood ? aj : okay , now , think this through , because if you do this , you 'll never get another chance with me . carly : you 're disgusting . where are they ? tell me or i 'm gon na put you out of commission . aj : okay , all right . relax . relax . they 're at kelly 's . they 're just going public with the relationship , innocently getting to know each other better , okay ? carly : there 's nothing innocent about brenda . [ scene_break ] brenda : i 'm sorry . i was using you . it 's not for the reason you -- you think . it 's -- i was -- i was truly just trying to get back at carly . michael : and my dad and i were just collateral damage . brenda : i , uh -- michael , i would never do anything to hurt your relationship with your father , and if i have hurt you and sonny , i - i - i hope you can forgive me . michael : [ sighs ] well , if you can forgive me for getting sloppy drunk and passing out in your bed , then , yeah . [ sighs ] brenda : that 's okay . michael : look , thank you for telling me . it 's obviously a very big relief that we did n't , uh ... you know , do anything . brenda : yeah . listen , i know you probably do n't want to hear this right now , but you are gon na meet a really great girl one day , and she 's gon na completely make you forget your broken heart , and she will be the luckiest girl on the planet . [ chuckles ] [ scene_break ] spinelli : if your theory is correct and there is indeed something wrong with maxie 's baby , i - i ca n't even fathom it . ellie : i ca n't , either . spinelli : well , i mean , so maybe we 're blowing this out of proportion . ellie : oh , i hope so . but it makes it all the more important for us to pursue this . damian , we have to find out what 's wrong with the baby . maxie : are you talking about my baby ? are you still harping on some imaginary secret about my baby , ellie ? ellie : no . maxie : really ? ellie : no . maxie , you misunderstood . maxie : no , i do n't think so . ellie : we were talking about this baby . damian 's watching baby daniel , and we think he has a touch of rhinitis . maxie : what ? spinelli : oh , uh , ellie 's just saying we -- we fear little daniel may have a bit of a cold . [ chuckles ] maxie , is everything okay ? maxie : i 'm just tired . that 's all . [ chuckles ] ellie : close call . spinelli : yeah , look . i 'm not comfortable with this . we -- we should n't involve ourselves . ellie : damian , i ca n't let this go . i just -- i ca n't . the fate of an innocent child hangs in the balance , and so does the fate of its parents .

well . it 's your decision . but as this baby 's great- grandmother , i think i have a right to an opinion . if you end that little life you 're carrying , you 're going to regret it . maybe not right away , but i promise you , it 'll haunt you for the rest of your life . jason : you know , it 's -- it 's been a long day . we do n't have to make a decision right -- right now . mrs. spinelli : your brother 's right . you sleep on this . we 'll talk about it in the morning . jason : is there a restroom i can use ? mrs. spinelli : oh , yes . right down the hall , last door on the right . jason : thank you . mrs. spinelli : you know , when i have a tough decisn to make , i find that prayer often helps . if you want , i can call my pastor and have him here for breakfast in the morning . lulu : i do n't know what i really want anymore . maxie : for weeks , you 've been telling anyone who would listen that you do n't want anything to do with lucky . now you 've changed your mind ? elizabeth : my relationship with him is none of your business . maxie : actually , lucky 's the father of my baby , so that kind of makes it my business . elizabeth does n't want anything to do with you . but i do and so does our baby . we both need you , lucky . lucky : and i told you that i would be there for you and the baby , and i will . but that 's as far as it goes , and you know why i ca n't be there . maxie : right -- because you love elizabeth even though she does n't give a damn about you . elizabeth : ok , you do n't know anything about me , so why do n't you just shut your mouth ? lucky : ok , enough . stress is n't good for either one of you . maxie : why do n't you wake up ? elizabeth is just using you . ric : end this before jason has a chance to move spinelli . lorenzo : morgan and spinelli will be taken care of . your job is to make sure there 's never an investigation into either one of their deaths . ric : well , if you hold up your end of the bargain , i think we 'll both get what we want . lorenzo : if my name is ever brought up in connection with their deaths , i guarantee you there will be more than enough evidence to bring you down with me . ric : ok . save your threats , all right ? the official report is going to show that a fugitive and his accomplice died while evading capture -- that is , assuming your people can get the job done . lorenzo : they 're moving in as we speak . it 's only a matter of time before morgan and spinelli will be eliminated . mrs. spinelli : damian ! spinelli : quick , granny , grab the taser ! this dude is totally wiggin ' out ! jason : just relax , i do n't want to hurt you . we just want to talk to you . spinelli : that 's bogus , granny . this broere is serious bad news . you got to help me ! mrs. spinelli : i 'll do no such thing ! spinelli : what ? mrs. spinelli : why , you -- spinelli : what -- oh ! mrs. spinelli : should be ashamed of yourself . how dare you run out on this poor girl after you got her pregnant . spinelli : whoa . dude , i do n't know what they 've been telling you , but i swear , these hands never touched her . mrs. spinelli : damian milhouse spinelli ! spinelli : yeah ? mrs. spinelli : you know better than to stand there and lie to me . do n't make me get out your grandaddy 's belt . spinelli : no , no , no , no , no . i 'm not lying -- you 've got to believe me . mrs. spinelli : you are not a little boy anymore . you 've got a baby coming . it 's time for you to stand up , grow up and act like a man . lulu : i -- i 'm the one who lied . there is no baby . i lied about everything . carly : you know what ? you say that you want me to be happy , and the minute i am , you try to ruin it , so why do n't you just admit it -- you want me back . sonny : are you saying you want me back ? carly : no , do n't turn it around , sonny . don't . sonny : what are you talking about ? carly : you 're the one that ca n't move on with your life . you 're coming up with every excuse to break up me and jax . first , it 's kristina -- me moving in with you because she needs a family . and then there 's this whole song and dance about jax taking your boys away from you , which could never , ever happen . so i want you to stand there and look me in the face and tell me what the hell is going on . you want me back . sonny : yeah , i do . maxie : it does n't matter how much progress you make -- elizabeth 's always going to see you as an addict . elizabeth : oh , god . i do n't have time to listen to this . i have work to do . maxie : we all know the only reason you 're even talking to lucky is so you do n't get stuck raising two kids by yourself . lucky : ok , enough . you have to go , maxie . maxie : you need to come with me . lucky : and we 've already been over this . maxie : look , if elizabeth loved you , she would 've fought for your marriage , but she did n't , just like she 's not denying that she 's using you . when you finally accept that you guys are over , i 'll be waiting . lucky : i am so sorry about maxie . she is just -- elizabeth : do n't apologize for her ever again . what she does is on her , not you . lucky : i want you to know i 'm really trying . i 've been going to all my meetings and seeing my sponsor every day . elizabeth : i know you have been , and you 're getting your life back together and i 'm very happy for you . ric : hey . i had a feeling i 'd find you here . lucky : what 's going on ? ric : yeah , if -- can you excuse us for a minute ? elizabeth : yeah , of course . ric : i need for you to keep an eye on lorenzo alcazar . lucky : for anything specific ? ric : well , you know , i just got a tip that he might be planning something big tonight . just stay on him , see what happens , ok ? lucky : ok , not a problem . ric : look , i -- i know you wanted to ease back into this and everything . if it 's a problem , just let me know , ok ? lucky : thanks , bui can handle it . hey , i 've got to run , but i 'll see you later ? elizabeth : yeah . ric : sorry to pull him away like that . elizabeth : it 's ok . it 's just part of the job . ric : yeah , lucky 's the best cop we got on the force right now . i just needed him back on the street as soon as possible . i just hope he 's ready . elizabeth : what does that mean ? sonny : wanting each other has never been our problem . it 's the staying together that we -- we have trouble with . carly : that 's because no matter how hard we try , all we do is hurt each other . sonny , we do n't work . but jax and i do and i do n't know what it 's going to take for you to get that . sonny : well , wow . i 'm not the one who 's in denial . if you think you 're going to be happily ever after with jax , then you 're -- you 're fooling yourself . carly : not if you have anything to do about it , that 's for sure . sonny : you know , you do n't need my help destroying this . you 're doing just fine on your own . carly : what the hell are you talking about ? sonny : well , i mean , every chance you get , you postpone the wedding . i do n't know what that 's -- carly : we gave our wedding to luke and laura , and you know that . sonny : whatever works for you . carly : we 're getting married on new year 's eve . sonny : how much you want to bet ? mrs. spinelli : what do you mean , there 's no baby ? [ mrs. spinelli gasps ] mrs. spinelli : my god -- you had an abortion . lulu : no . spinelli never got me pregnant . it was all a lie . spinelli : i tried to tell you , granny . mrs. spinelli : you need to hush . now , listen . if you 're not pregnant , why 'd you and your brotherome althe way down here ? lulu : he -- well , he 's not really my brother , either . jason : actually , your grandson has some information here that will clear an innocent woman 's name . mrs. spinelli : what have you gotten yourself into this time ? spinelli : no , it -- it 's not my fault this time , i swear . mrs. spinelli : that 's what you always say right before you ask me for money . spinelli : um , well , now that you mention it , um -- the dinero situation is pretty bleak . i mean , do you -- do you think you could help me ? mrs. spinelli : you got into this all by yoursel and you 're going to get out of it the same way . spinelli : oh . mrs. spinelli : if you need that belt , just holler . spinelli : gran -- so not cool , dude . grannies are totally out of bounds . jason : you ok ? lulu : yeah , i want to go home . get up . we 're leaving . spinelli : no can do , gidget . daddy ai n't going nowhere . lorenzo : where are you with spinelli ? man : just pulled up to the house . lorenzo : any sign of morgan ? man : not yet . i 'm sending someone inow to take a look . lorenzo : good . call me when it 's done . skye : that sounded ominous . lorenzo : that was business . skye : i assume that 's what ric came by earlier to discuss . lorenzo : i thought this was the kind of conversation you specifically wanted to avoid . skye : you 're right . i made the ground rules , i should stick by them . no , really , it 's not that hard to figure out . lorenzo : oh , really ? skye : well , ric 's made no secret of the fact that he 's turned against sonny , a man you despise . why else would he be coming over here to visit you ? you wanted to ask his help with sonny . lorenzo : you know , for someone who did n't want to concern themselves with my business , you seem to be taking quite an interest . i see that santa 's being very good to lila rae this year . skye : are you kidding ? santa did n't even finish . his little sleigh full of presents is still out in the garage . lorenzo : huh . not to mention the closet full upstairs . skye : you did n't ? lorenzo : how could i not ? it 's her first christmas . want to see ? skye : yeah . lorenzo : come on . sonny : i know you , carly , and i know i 've told you this . but jax is not the kind of man that 's going to make you happy . carly : but you are , huh ? sonny : i did n't say it , you did . carly : we were never really happy , sonny , not really . sonny : oh , but do n't -- do n't even say that because i do n't believe that any more than you do . carly : ok , so , you know , there were happy times , but they did n't last . sonny : right . carly : and if you know me as well as you claim to , you would know that i hated the constant push - pull in our relationship . it was hell not knowing from one day to the next whether we were going to love each other or hate each other . and i do n't want to live like that anymore , and you know what ? with jax , i do n't have to , so will you please stop trying to mess it up ? sonny : i 'm just -- i 'm just trying to keep you from making a mistake . carly : i love jax . and i want to marry him and i have never been more sure of anything in my life . [ skye gasps ] skye : lorenzo ! [ knock on door ] lucky : stay back ! lorenzo : skye , what 's wrong ? what 's going on here ? skye : well , i must 've placed one of the presents too close to the fire . thank god lucky was here or the whole place could 've gone up . lorenzo : yes . how fortunate we are that detective spencer just happened to stop by . you know , i 'd ask what you 're doing here , but it seems quite obvious . lansing has me under surveillance , does n't he ? ric : lucky is under a lot of stress right now . he 's got a lot on his plate , he 's dealing with his own recovery . add in his mother 's illness and a whole lot of stress from work -- it 'd make anybody break . elizabeth : yeah , but lucky needs to take responsibility for his own recovery . and we can support and encourage him all we can , but ultimately , has to live his own life . ric : i 'm sorry . i know this is a lot for you to deal with . elizabeth : i 'll manage . ric : yeah , i 'm sure you will . you 're small in stature but , you know , you 're very tough . i just wish you would accept help every once in a while . jason : the only way to prove that ric framed sam is for you to come back to port charles and turn yourself in . spinelli : yeah , that 's so not going to happen , dude . look , the last time i tried to save the goddess , i almost got nuked in a car . look , if i show up back in new york , evil al 's going to waste me for sure . lulu : you ca n't stay here . spinelli : granny will cool down . she just needs some time -- what -- jason : listen to me , listen tome . alcazar is not going to stop until he finds you . you want to bring that kind of trouble on to your grandmother ? lulu : and even if alcazar does n't show up to kill you , do you really want to spend the rest of your life hiding out in oakfield ? huh ? i thought you needed the internet to survive . does your grandma even own a computer ? spinelli : yeah , granny 's still rocking the green screen . i mean , the r.a.m . completely blows , but if i patch it through her dialysis machine , i can boost the memory , and i just need a little high - speed and the jackal will be back in business . jason : if i found you , alcazar is going to find you . spinelli : yeah . nice try , stone cold . lulu here found me . she 's not going to tell evil al where i am , are you , blonde one ? lulu : no , i wo n't , but i do n't -- spinelli : see ? problem solved . granny 's place is as safe as they come . nobody could find me here . [ knock on door ] spinelli : gee . carly : oh . [ knock on door ] carly : hey . hey , come on in . jax : hi . carly : hi . jax : oh , no , no , i ca n't stay . i just want to drop this off . carly : what is it ? jax : information on madagascar . carly : all of it ? jax : yeah . michael wanted some help with a report that he was doing , so i -- yeah , so -- carly : so you had your research staff do an entire profile on the country ? jax : huh . well , just tell him if he needs some more information , let me know . carly : why are you standing out here telling me all this ? jax : because i do n't want to intrude . carly : you 're not intruding . sonny left a while ago . jax : i know what this looks like , but i 'm not -- like , i 'm not checking up on you , ok ? i was just dropping this off . carly : i do n't want you to ever think that you have to come up with an excuse to come see me . jax : i 'm just dropping -- carly : we 're going to get married in a couple of weeks . you 're going to be coming home to me every night . jax : oh . i like the sound of that . carly : me , too . jax : i really like the sound of that . mike : well . so the -- the boys with carly tonight ? sonny : well , that 's a good guess . mike : a guess ? not really , michael . i mean , you only show up here when you ca n't stand being alone in that house by yourself . sonny : yeah , i admit , sometimes i do get a little lonely . mike : mm - hmm . so , how 's it going with the wedding prep ? sonny : you 're asking me ? mike : i just -- just got my invitation . new year 's eve -- that 's an interesting choice . sonny : yeah , well , i do n't -- i do n't know why carly ca n't just admit she 's -- you know , it 's a mistake . mike : maybe she loves jax . she is marrying the guy . sonny : you know what ? even if she does go down the aisle , the marriage is going to crash and burn . mike : so let it . sonny : i ca n't just `` let it `` because my children are the ones who are going to be hurt . mike : huh . more than you ? sonny : this has nothing to do with me . mike : sonny , you 're about to lose the woman you love because you 're too proud to do a thing about it . trust me , that 's going to hurt like hell . ric : you know , i hope i 'm -- i 'm not being presumptuous . i 'd like to think that you still consider me to be a friend . i mean , god knows we can use one right about now . elizabeth : how 's alexis doing with chemo ? ric : alexis gets pumped full of drugs every three weeks , so much so that she can hardly stand . and instead of doing what she needs to do to recover , she 's pushing herself harder than ever . in her effort to be all things to all people , she 's decided to appoint herself as sam 's attorney . how 's that ? elizabeth : wow . i 'm sure she 's just trying to help her daughter , but -- ric : yeah . alexis keeps pushing herself , she may not be around long enough to take care of and raise molly or kristina . i 'm sorry . i grew up without a mother , i know what that feels like , and i do n't want that for my daughter . elizabeth : but , ric , you may not have a choice . i mean , sometimes things happen that are beyond our control . ric : yeah , like divorce . i 'm just thankful that molly 's young enough that she really does n't understand what 's going on . elizabeth : yeah , not cameron . he 's at the age where he understands everything that 's going on around him , and i ca n't even tell you how many times a day he asks when daddy 's coming home . and how am i supposed to explain to him that lucky chose pills over his family ? ric : well , lucky 's doing better , but , you know , he still has a long way to go . and i think it 's natural for you to have a healthy amount of caution where his recovery is concerned . lucky : if lansing has you under surveillance , i do n't know anything about it . i just stopped by to ask you a few questions about jason morgan . lorenzo : if that were true , the guard at the gate would 've announced you . lucky : there was no one there when i drove up . i knocked on the door first and did n't get an answer , so i was curious and came around back to check things out , and that 's when i heard skye scream . skye : lucky , we ca n't thank you enough for putting out that fire . lucky : not a problem . just be careful about setting things near the fireplace . i know this may not be the best time , but i need to ask you a few questions about jason . lorenzo : you 're right , it 's not . lucky : then i 'll come back . have a nice night . lorenzo : he 's lying . lansing sent him to watch me . skye : i do n't care what lucky was doing here . our baby is upstairs . a few more minutes and the entire house could 've gone up . instead of questioning lucky 's motives , you should be thanking him . lorenzo : you 're right . thanks to lucky , our daughter is safe -- and lansing 's surveillance is now blown . sk h to help our family -- which i find ironic , considering just a few short days ago , you tried to kill his little sister . [ knock on door ] lulu : ok , what do we do ? jason : ok , i want you to find a place to hide , ok ? lulu : ok . jason : do not come out no matter what . you understand me ? lulu : ok . jason : you are going to answer the door . spinelli : but how come she gets to hide ? jason : just shut up . man : hi , i 'm from holbrook cable . we 're offering a holiday special to new subscribers in the area -- free high - speed for the first six months . does that sound like something you might be interested in ? spinelli : seriously , dude , you 're like a gift straight from the cyber gods . hey , man , can you hook me up ? man : i n be back out here by 9 : 00 a.m . spinelli : oh , dude , that 's awesome . where -- where do i sign ? man : i 'll see you in the morning , mr . spinelli . spinelli : later . free high - speed ! how stoked am i ? i 'm -- living in the boondocks totally rocks . lulu : how stupid are you ? spinelli : what ? do you think i should 've gone with d.s.l . ? jason : that was n't a cable guy , that was one of alcazar 's men . spinelli : no -- no way , dude . it says `` cable `` right here . lulu : cable guys do n't show up when you call them . why do you think this one just happened to stop by ? jason : now the problem is you 've been made , ? alcazar 's men are going to have this place surrounded within minutes . we got to get out of here . let 's go . spinelli : no way , dude ! i 'm not going anywhere . jason : you 're going right now . let 's go . get the car . carly : you know , tulips wo n't work , but what do you think about roses -- red ones -- for the church ? jax : yeah , you ca n't go wrong with a classic . carly : you do n't think it 's too traditional ? jax : no . if you want to have roses , i think we should have roses . i think we should have them everywhere -- pretty red ones . you know ? carly : ok . [ jax chuckles ] jax : what are you doing ? carly : calling the hotel florist . hey , andy , it 's carly . yeah , i was thinking we need to put a huge order in for some -- what ? jax : no . carly : what are you doing ? jax : i 'm hanging up the phone because we have a team of wedding coordinators that are supposed to worry about that kind of thing . i 'm sure they can order the flowers . you know ? carly : it was one phone call . jax : yes , and that one phone call will turn into 20 phone calls . remember what our job is here ? carly : hmm ? jax : we 're supposed to sit back , let everybody else stress about this . and we 're just supposed to enjoy our wedding day . remember -- remember the little talk we had ? huh . carly : i want everything to be perfect . jax : oh , it will be . because all we have to do is show up new year 's eve and say our vows . that 's it . carly : you make everything sound so easy . we have n't discussed so many things yet . jax : like what ? carly : like where we 're going to live . jax : i thought we 'd live here . carly : you do n't mind ? jax : no , of course i do n't mind . carly : wow . jax : i 'm becoming a part of the family , you know ? plus , i want to make this transition as easy for you and the boys as possible . i think our family will be very happy in this hoe . carly : yeah ? jax : yeah -- until we outgrow it . carly : hmm . mike : face it , sonny . you 're still in love with carly . sonny : we 're divorced , mike . what am i supposed to do ? mike : hmm . so . sonny : what ? mike : come on , you -- you tried to replace carly with lots of different women , and none of them lasted . you want to know why ? sonny : why ? mike : because carly was thonly woman you ever really trusted . and she was the only one strong enough to stay by your side . you know that now , andou damn well knew it when you threw it all away . sonny : she lied to me , mike . mike : oh , come on . and you never lied to her ? sonny : well , not like that . i mean , she -- you know , she knew that kristina was my daughter , she kept it from me for months . she broke our trust . how am i supposed to get past that ? mike : by forgiving her . carly did not keep that secret to hurt you , sonny . but you never -- you never even made the effort to see her point of view . you were too caught up in your own pride . you hated feeling like a fool -- you being the last one to know that kristina was your daughter . and so what did you do ? you lashed out and you divorced carly , and you 've regretted it ever since . ric : so how is cameron ? he getting excited about christmas ? elizabeth : oh , he is beyond excited . this is the first year tt he really understands the whole santa thing , and he keeps reminding me to buy carrots for the reindeer , so -- [ ric chuckles ] ric : yeah , i ca n't wait till molly 's old enough to enjoy the holidays . of course , when she is , we 'll probably be splitting them with alexis . have you and lucky worked out an arrangement yet ? elizabeth : no . no , i do n't want to think about custody or attorneys right now . i just want to give cameron the best christmas i possibly can . ric : yeah , i 'm sure you wl . hey , you remember when we -- when we drove up to manhattan that one christmas to go ice - skating at rockefeller center ? elizabeth : huh . well , i would n't exactly call what you were doing `` skating . `` it was more like falling over and over and over again . ric : i think a lot of champions start that way . elizabeth : oh , i think you spent more time on your back than you did on your feet . ric : well , you know i 'm a glutton for punishment . what can i tell you ? elizabeth : obviously . do you remember how bad those bruises were ? ric : oh , you 're worth it . elizabeth : i ca n't believe you rememb that trip -- that was a really long time ago . ric : yeah , it 's too long . maybe we 'll do it again sometime . maxie : who are you looking for ? georgie : hey . i wanted to see if you wanted a ride home . maxie : did elizabeth call you -- that snake . georgie : no , i -- maxie , i never talked to elizabeth . maxie : oh . so it 's just a coincidence that i asked lucky to come with me to our baby 's sonogram and elizabeth happens to show up there throwing a hissy fit , staking her claim on lucky even though she really does n't want him ? and then conveniently , 20 minutes later , you 're here to see if i need a ride home ? you know what , georgie ? if you 're on her side , just go ahead and tell me so i do n't make the mistake of coming to you for support . georgie : you know what , maxie ? this is why i hate that you 're inlved with lucky . maxie : why ? because your trampy sister is breaking up his sacred marriage ? georgie : no , maxie , i hate what it does to you . you were great to me earlier , you were fabulous . the stars were in alignment , remember ? i actually got the rare opportunity to see you actually be my sister . and here you are throwing attitude and being sarcastic , and do you want to know why ? because lucky rejected you , and the only way you can gear yourself up to go after him again is to be bitchy and angry and act like you do n't care . maxie , you actually put on a good show , and sometimes i think you actually convince yourself . but underneath it all , i know you do care , and i know that you 're breaking your own heart , because you know lucky 's never going to love you . maxie : well . thank you for stopping by , but i can take care of myself . georgie : i hope so . jason : they still back there ? spinelli : uh -- yeah , dude . they 're closing the gap , like , wicked fast ! jason : ok , how many sets of headlights do you see ? spinelli : i do n't know . maybe -- maybe three ? [ tires screech ] spinelli : whoa -- whoa , dude ! god -- hey , how about a little warning next time ? lulu : ok , seriously , jason , slow down . i do n't want to take out a tree going 100 . jason : hold on !

[ engine stops ] lulu : what are you doing ? jason : i 'm losing them . everyone get down . get down . spinelli : dude -- dude , this is never going to work . jason : shut up and stay quiet . spinelli : what , so they can find us and shoot us ? jason : shut up ! stay down . [ three cars pass ] [ cars pass ] jason : stay -- hey , stay down . spinelli : what ? simmer down , dude . the coast is totally clear . lulu : do you think it really worked ? jason : for now , but we need to get out of here before they decide to double back . [ s.u.v . starts ] spinelli : i ca n't wait to see the look on evil al 's face when we show up in port charles still breathing . jason : you know what ? alcazar is going to be waiting for us . he knows we 're coming back and he 'll be there . skye : this one is completely ruined . lorenzo : what was it ? skye : a surprise -- for you . lorenzo : it 's the thought that counts . skye : i think about you a lot . the trouble is i do n't know quite what to think of you .

well . it 's your decision . but as this baby 's great- grandmother , i think i have a right to an opinion . if you end that little life you 're carrying , you 're going to regret it . maybe not right away , but i promise you , it 'll haunt you for the rest of your life . jason : you know , it 's -- it 's been a long day . we do n't have to make a decision right -- right now . mrs. spinelli : your brother 's right . you sleep on this . we 'll talk about it in the morning . jason : is there a restroom i can use ?

mike : hmm . so . sonny : what ? mike : come on , you -- you tried to replace carly with lots of different women , and none of them lasted . you want to know why ? sonny : why ? mike : because carly was thonly woman you ever really trusted . and she was the only one strong enough to stay by your side . you know that now , andou damn well knew it when you threw it all away . sonny : she lied to me , mike . mike : oh , come on . and you never lied to her ? sonny : well , not like that . i mean , she -- you know , she knew that kristina was my daughter , she kept it from me for months . she broke our trust . how am i supposed to get past that ? mike : by forgiving her . carly did not keep that secret to hurt you , sonny . but you never -- you never even made the effort to see her point of view . you were too caught up in your own pride . you hated feeling like a fool -- you being the last one to know that kristina was your daughter . and so what did you do ? you lashed out and you divorced carly , and you 've regretted it ever since . ric : so how is cameron ? he getting excited about christmas ? elizabeth : oh , he is beyond excited . this is the first year tt he really understands the whole santa thing , and he keeps reminding me to buy carrots for the reindeer , so -- [ ric chuckles ] ric : yeah , i ca n't wait till molly 's old enough to enjoy the holidays . of course , when she is , we 'll probably be splitting them with alexis . have you and lucky worked out an arrangement yet ? elizabeth : no . no , i do n't want to think about custody or attorneys right now . i just want to give cameron the best christmas i possibly can . ric : yeah , i 'm sure you wl . hey , you remember when we -- when we drove up to manhattan that one christmas to go ice - skating at rockefeller center ? elizabeth : huh . well , i would n't exactly call what you were doing `` skating . `` it was more like falling over and over and over again . ric : i think a lot of champions start that way . elizabeth : oh , i think you spent more time on your back than you did on your feet . ric : well , you know i 'm a glutton for punishment . what can i tell you ? elizabeth : obviously . do you remember how bad those bruises were ? ric : oh , you 're worth it . elizabeth : i ca n't believe you rememb that trip -- that was a really long time ago . ric : yeah , it 's too long . maybe we 'll do it again sometime . maxie : who are you looking for ? georgie : hey . i wanted to see if you wanted a ride home . maxie : did elizabeth call you -- that snake . georgie : no , i -- maxie , i never talked to elizabeth . maxie : oh . so it 's just a coincidence that i asked lucky to come with me to our baby 's sonogram and elizabeth happens to show up there throwing a hissy fit , staking her claim on lucky even though she really does n't want him ? and then conveniently , 20 minutes later , you 're here to see if i need a ride home ? you know what , georgie ? if you 're on her side , just go ahead and tell me so i do n't make the mistake of coming to you for support . georgie : you know what , maxie ? this is why i hate that you 're inlved with lucky . maxie : why ? because your trampy sister is breaking up his sacred marriage ? georgie : no , maxie , i hate what it does to you . you were great to me earlier , you were fabulous . the stars were in alignment , remember ? i actually got the rare opportunity to see you actually be my sister . and here you are throwing attitude and being sarcastic , and do you want to know why ? because lucky rejected you , and the only way you can gear yourself up to go after him again is to be bitchy and angry and act like you do n't care . maxie , you actually put on a good show , and sometimes i think you actually convince yourself . but underneath it all , i know you do care , and i know that you 're breaking your own heart , because you know lucky 's never going to love you . maxie : well . thank you for stopping by , but i can take care of myself . georgie : i hope so . jason : they still back there ? spinelli : uh -- yeah , dude . they 're closing the gap , like , wicked fast ! jason : ok , how many sets of headlights do you see ? spinelli : i do n't know . maybe -- maybe three ? [ tires screech ] spinelli : whoa -- whoa , dude ! god -- hey , how about a little warning next time ? lulu : ok , seriously , jason , slow down . i do n't want to take out a tree going 100 . jason : hold on ! [ tires screech ] lulu : what are you doing ? jason : shh . [ engine stops ] lulu : what are you doing ? jason : i 'm losing them . everyone get down . get down . spinelli : dude -- dude , this is never going to work . jason : shut up and stay quiet . spinelli : what , so they can find us and shoot us ? jason : shut up ! stay down . [ three cars pass ] [ cars pass ] jason : stay -- hey , stay down . spinelli : what ? simmer down , dude . the coast is totally clear . lulu : do you think it really worked ? jason : for now , but we need to get out of here before they decide to double back .

[ phone rings ] lorenzo : is it done ? man : no , sir . we lost them just outside of oakfield , but the men are canvassing the area now . lorenzo : call them off . morgan will be bringing spinelli back to port charles . man : you want us to intercept them ? lorenzo : no , let them come . i 've been having some trouble with d.a . lansing . i think morgan and spinelli can give him some trouble in return . [ choir sings ] ric : bless me , father , for i have sinned . it 's been -- um -- well , let 's be straight with one another , father , i do n't know the last time that i confessed to anything . in that time , i have done things that i 'm -- i 'm not terribly proud of . i -- i sought comfort in the arms of other women , which ultimately destroyed my marriage and tore my family apart . i craved love and acceptance from a brother who 's really incapable of giving me either . and i 've let revenge completely consume my life . but i 'm -- i 'm ready to take that back now , i know what really matters . it 's -- it 's not money or power or approval . all i want is to be a good father to my daughter . molly deserves to grow up in a loving household , with two parents that she can depend upon , and i -- i ca n't give her that now . not until i -- i regain my -- my ex - wife 's trust . elizabeth was my greatest love and my greatest regret , father . i mean , just thinking about her makes me want to be a better man . and no matter what it takes , i am going to find a way to get elizabeth back . elizabeth : i thought you were working . lucky : i was . elizabeth : what happened ? lucky : well , i was doing surveillance at alcazar 's when a fire broke out inside of his living room . i heard skye screaming , so i blew my cover and i ran inside . elizabeth : is she ok ? lucky : she 's fine . but now that alcazar knows he 's being watched , he will not make any moves . that 's what we in law enforcement call a botched assignment . elizabeth : but she needed your help . what else were you supposed to do ? lucky : yeah , well , ric was counting on me , and now i 'm probably going to get demoted . elizabeth : ok , look , i know you 're really grateful to ric for getting you back on the force , but -- i do n't know -- maybe -- maybe you should just be careful around him . lucky : what do you mean ? elizabeth : well , he has his own agenda . he wants to take sonny down and he 'll use anybody to do it -- including you . [ phone rings ] elizabeth : sixth floor . no , she does n't come in until 2 : 00 today . mm - hmm . but i can take a message for you . ok . i 'll be sure she gets it . lucky : i 'm surprised you would n't give ric the benefiof the doubt . i mean , after all , he mostly gave me my badge back for you . elizabeth : you deserve to be reinstated . you 're a good cop . lucky : i 'm glad you believe that . and i 'm hoping after our baby 's born , you 'll believe in me as a father , too . i 'll see you later . elizabeth 's voice : oh , my god , were you hit ? hey , can you hear me ? please do n't die , ok ? please do n't die , you have to stay with me -- for the baby 's sake . it 's not lucky 's , jason . this baby is ours . [ sonny sighs ] carly : so you think we 're going to outgrow this house , huh ? jax : i love you , and i ca n't wait to start our life together . carly : oh , i feel the same way -- jax : what ? carly : but you 're dodging the question . do you think our family is going to grow ? jax : you 're the -- you 're the one that saw us with more kids , you know , when we were on the imaginary sleigh ride through the lobby -- that really pretty one with the -- with the fake snow and everything . carly : yes , i did , i did . nope . you know what ? jax : what ? what ? carly : i think we should start working on that right now . jax : are you serious ? carly : mm - hmm .

[ door opens , closes ] if i could -- i could find him , i would bring him to you . and i 'm sure that -- michael : if you 're looking for a.j . , i can give him to you . [ computer keys clacking ] a.j . : jason looks good . he looks happy . sam : do n't touch my things or -- or try and make small talk or act like we 're friends . a.j . : we 're family . you 're my brother 's wife . sam : [ chuckles ] you and jason are brothers in name only . jason has never forgiven you for what you 've done to michael . he would hate what you 're doing now . you 're -- you 're hiding behind him . a.j . : i 'm not hiding . sam : you know what ? i would call the cops on you myself right now if it were n't for michael . you used jason growing up , just like you 're using michael now . a.j . : does it really have to be this way ? robert : faison 's mother was anna 's nanny as a child . i guess faison fixated on her and that then became a life - long obsession . if he 's involved in this , then it 's all about anna . elizabeth : okay , that still does n't explain why olivia would see faison when she looked at duke . robert : maybe faison has some control over lavery . look , he spent 20 years in a turkish prison . anything 's possible . olivia : you know what ? i hate to rain on your parade , you guys , but i 'm not that complicated . i just -- i see what i see . elizabeth : what do you mean ? olivia : i see heather , and heather turns up . i see kate is connie , and kate is connie . i just see what 's actually there . robert : maybe it 's that simple . maybe lavery really is faison . duke : what 's wrong ? anna : um ... i - i just need a moment . are n't we supposed to be having dinner ? can we just have dinner ? duke : did i misunderstand something ? you did n't want to kiss me ? you do n't -- you do n't have feelings for me ? anna : i want to . but i just ca n't . duke : why ? is this about robert ? because robert 's returned to town ? robert : faison knows that anna despises him . so he 's got to come at her from a different angle . perhaps using a different face . elizabeth : you think he had plastic surgery to look like duke ? robert : he has the connections and the resources . olivia : guys , i 'm sorry . this is just -- that 's crazy . robert : no crazier than lavery turning up after 20 years in a -- in a turkish prison when anna 's at her most vulnerable grieving over our daughter ? olivia : but why ? why would he go through all that ? why would he change his whole face and his voice and the way he walks ? robert : because he can . and he 'd do a whole lot more if he knew that that would get him anna . anna : no , it 's not -- it 's not robert . that 's not why i do n't want -- duke : then what is it ? i do n't want to pressure you . i do n't want to make you feel uncomfortable . but ... we 're so close , anna . why are you stopping ? anna : i 'm sorry . it 's you , duke . spinelli : of -- of course i do n't want to hurt her feelings ! maxie : so you admit it . spinelli : but i do n't want to hurt your feelings , either . maxie : if you choose ellie , you will be hurting both of us because we belong together , spinelli , and you will realize that . dante : michael , you know where a.j . is ? michael : he can be here in less than 15 minutes . dante : yeah , see , that 's not good enough since he broke the terms of his bail agreement when he tampered with his ankle monitor . michael : tracy told him that i was hurt . that 's the only reason he left the house -- to help me . monica : i knew it . dante : is that true ? tracy : well , i may have , uh , given a.j . the impression that , um , michael was in trouble . but there 's no law against that . however , there are lots of laws against embezzlement , fraud , kidnapping -- dante : okay , tracy , we got -- we got it . we know what 's on a.j . 's rap sheet . tracy : a.j . needs to be behind bars where he ca n't do any more damage to the quartermaine name and reputation . michael : dante , just let me bring him home . dante : michael , i do n't want you messed up in this . yes , you 've -- you 've completed your parole , but you are legally an ex - con . do not let a.j . drag you down with him . tracy : you listen to this , monica ? you gon na let your son ruin your grandson ? dante : where is he , michael ? michael : can i first ask you a question , just hypothetical ? dante : well , yeah . sure . if it 's not you trying to stall . michael : okay , let 's say there 's a cop who was shot by his own father . and when the time came to testify , he lied and he said he accidentally shot himself . that -- that would be perjury , right ? dante : yeah . michael : and this cop , he did n't really know his father that well . he was n't sure if he could trust him or not . he just did n't want to be the one to send his father to prison . now i can see why he made that choice . can you ? dante : that cop would have to live with that lie every day for the rest of his life . some days it would be easy . other days , it would weigh on him . either way , he would n't want his younger brother in that position . where 's a.j . ? tracy : oh , for god 's sake . he 's at sam and jason 's . sam : if you gave a damn about michael , you would n't put him through this . you would turn yourself in . a.j . : yeah , well , i would n't worry about that too long because i 'm sure i 'm gon na be back in custody soon . sam : you expect me to feel sorry for you ? a.j . : no , i do n't . i - i 've actually done enough of that myself . you know , wondering how i could have done everything differently . you know , sam , maybe you and i actually have something in common . because you know the way jason -- jason loves you ? i mean , it 's fierce , you know . he -- he 's loyal and he 's fearless and there was nothing that you could ever do to -- to screw up so bad that he would n't forgive you . that 's how he used to love me before the accident . and then afterwards , he [ sniffs ] could barely look at me . but i think that 's how he loves michael , and i bet that 's how he loves you . sam : do n't -- please do n't pretend that you give a damn , okay ? a.j . : look , i came back here so that i could see my son and i could make amends . i hate the fact that i did n't get back here in time to make peace with my brother . sam : i do n't know what you heard , but jason is not gone . i mean , he 's -- he 's coming back . he 's coming back to me and my son . a.j . : your son ? you and jason have a kid ? sam : yeah . um ... yes . yes . we do . his name -- his name is daniel . danny , actually . a.j . : so i have a nephew . i -- can i see him ? sam : why ? so you can kidnap him ? a.j . : i do n't blame you for the way you feel , okay ? but i have changed . i have really changed . and when jason comes back , i plan on telling him how sorry i am . but let 's be honest . you and i both know that i do n't have a lot of time , that i 'm probably gon na wind up back in prison . can i please -- please , can i just see my nephew ? duke : i apologize . perhaps we -- we should just have dinner , after all . anna : no , no . look , it 's nothing that you 've done . at least not that i can pinpoint . i ... duke : i do n't understand . anna : it 's really hard to put into words . is this how you imagined it would be ? you and me ? duke : honestly ? honestly , no . when i was in my cell , i pictured you throwing yourself into my arms , telling me that you loved me . of course , i realize you probably had moved on with your life and you probably put me to the part of your mind -- anna : i never forgot about you . ever . duke : to be realistic , anna , i knew you would have moved on with your life . you could n't remain frozen . you would have had other relationships , but i thought when i came back into your life , that we would love each other . and here we are together , and we 're learning to love each other again . anna : we were so happy once , were n't we ? duke : [ chuckles ] we could be happy again . i mean , if you 're willing . anna : this sounds so vague . do i feel the same way to you ? duke : of course you do . and my love for you is just the same . it has n't changed . has your love for me ? anna : something 's changed . i do n't know what it is . but you -- you feel -- different . robert : anna spent most of her life in the intelligence business . under normal circumstances , she 'd be tough to fool . but right now , she 's at her weakest , grieving over our -- our daughter . so what happens ? faison turns up wearing lavery 's face , a man who she loved , the one man who she would hope who might even still be alive . olivia : but how does this even benefit this faison guy ? anna does n't love him for himself . robert : the guy 's a psycho . who knows what he 's thinking . i mean , he might hope that anna 's feelings will change . he might be happy going on pretending . olivia : who are you calling ? robert : anna . i got to warn her . spinelli : you are en -- enchanting -- incandescent -- endlessly fascinating . you -- you are -- filled with en -- enthusiasm and potential , and i wish you all the happiness . maxie : but you do n't want me . [ sighs ] spinelli : not in the way you wish . maxie : because you met ellie . and she 's , um , intellectual and brainy and offbeat just like you are . spinelli : maxie , there is great joy in finding someone that you can connect with . maxie : right . but that 's not why you choose her . it 's because you gave her your word . so you 'll dig in your heels and one day , wake up and realize that you 're in a loveless marriage . married to a woman named ellie spinelli , by the way . have you thought of that ? spinelli : marriage ? no . no . we -- we have n't even moved in together yet . maxie : yet . i just opened my heart to you . does n't that count for anything ? spinelli : of course it does . maxie : right . just , um , just not enough . [ voice breaking ] bye , spinelli . [ sniffles ] [ sniffles ] [ sobs ] elizabeth : robert , are you sure about this ? robert : am i sure that faison faked his own death and came back dressed up as lavery in order to win anna 's love ? no . i 'm not . but if there 's a ghost of a chance he 's involved in this , then she has to know about it . olivia : wait , wait . hold the phone , you guys . i 'm sorry to wreck your story here , but what if we 're wrong about this ? i mean , what happened ? i saw a face i did n't recognize . you drew a picture . is this really enough to sound an alarm ? robert : nobody knows more than anna what this guy 's capable of . elizabeth : but all you have is a sketch of a man anna thinks is dead , and you 're gon na tell her he 's pretending to be duke ? robert : you got a point . you know , my ex is never crazy when i turn up . back in the day , lavery and i , we were adversaries . i never trusted him . but if i tell her that lavery 's faison , well , i doubt she 'll believe me . worse , she might tell him . olivia : and there 's no telling what this faison guy might do if he feels like he 's threatened . robert : i ca n't afford to tip him off . i got to get more proof . duke : i seem different to you ? how ? anna : i do n't know . you 're the man i loved and married and ... eventually mourned . but just -- there 's something that ... it 's like you 're the same , but different all at once . i 'm sorry . i really do n't mean to hurt you . duke : no , i want you to be honest with me . i want you to be honest with me . we ca n't move forward with secrets and lies . anna : it 's me . maybe it 's me . having you back has just made me question everything that i knew . because if i was wrong about you being dead , what else am i wrong about ? duke : do n't doubt yourself . you have n't changed , anna . you 're as intelligent and beautiful as you always were . i am the one who 's changed . how could i not change ? i 've been rotting at a prison for 20 years . but the one thing that did not change was the love that i have for you . so please do n't tell me that i fought my way back here to you ... just for you not to want me . not now . anna : [ sobs ] duke : please . sam : this is jason 's son . daniel edward morgan . a.j . : daniel edward . that 's a good name . sam : danny , i 'd like you to meet a.j . can you say hi ? a.j . : he 's -- he 's really beautiful . jason must have been really proud . sam : he was . danny and i had a rough start , did n't we , danny ? but everything 's gon na be okay . we are gon na wait patiently for your father to get home . a.j . : i really hope it wo n't be long . sam : we 'll wait as long as it takes . a.j . : so will i . sam : do n't do that , a.j . please . stop . a.j . : sam , listen to me . i really hope that jason 's alive . and i hope that he can come back . look , i ... i know i 've got no right to ask this . but can i just hold danny for a moment ? when michael was a baby , i did n't have much time with him . it would just mean a lot if i could just hold my brother 's son . please .

[ beeping continues ] monica : well , maybe you should get your hearing checked . a.j . : tracy pretended that she got a call from sam that you 'd been in an accident or something . michael : i told you . i 'm fine . a.j . : i know , i know , i know . she did it so i 'd leave the house and i 'd violate the terms of my release , that way they can throw me back in jail . maxie : look , spinelli , i know that you care about this girl . spinelli : her name is ellie . and yes , i do care . very much . maxie : yes . fine . ellie is very nice and -- and smart and weird , in a good way . but she 's not me , spinelli , and she never will be . i 'm not trying to insult her , but you and i , we 're meant to be together . we 're -- we 're fate , kismet , destiny , whatever you want to call it . we have been through so much together . and yes , we have done ... some things very right and we have done a few things very wrong . but that 's behind us now . and we have a chance at our happily ever after . you -- you just have to pick me . dante : hey . lulu : hey . dante : you , uh , got a lot left to do ? lulu : um , just payroll , but it can wait till tomorrow . dante : no , no , no , no , no . i can -- i can wait . finish up . lulu : i think you should talk to your mom . dante : why ? what happened ? lulu : she had another vision or whatever you want to call it . dante : god , it -- it just kills me that heather webber 's too crazy to stand trial so she 's never gon na have to pay for what she did to her . lulu : well , this actually might be a good thing . robert scorpio seemed interested . dante : robert scorpio ? i - i did n't even know he was in town . lulu : my dad sent him . dante : why did n't your dad just come in person ? lulu : i do n't know . robert was vague about that . apparently he 's in turkey and he does n't want me to worry . dante : oh , so all you 're gon na do is worry . lulu : no , i 'm used to my dad disappearing . and at least he sent word that he 's okay . dante : so , what does this have to do with my mother ? lulu : so , she bumped into duke lavery , only she did n't see duke lavery . she saw someone else . olivia : yeah , that 's it . that 's him . elizabeth : oh , my god . olivia : what ? elizabeth : this ca n't be . robert : elizabeth , what 's wrong ? you -- you know this person ? elizabeth : i think it 's someone you know , too . robert : faison . olivia : who 's faison ? duke : now there 's nothing to stop us from being together , is there ? anna : no . there 's nothing to stop us . duke : so , why do n't we take this ... into the bedroom ? i 've waited for you for so long . anna : maybe we should just slow this down . duke : why ? why slow down ? you know how much i 've missed you . anna : yeah . you 've made that very clear . duke : okay , then i wo n't bore you by repeating it . but , anna ... all i 've wanted is just to hold you , to kiss you , to make love to you , to wake up with you in my arms . and now ... i have you . i finally -- i ... i have you here . anna : it 's not that i do n't feel ... duke : anna , please do n't make me wait . please . i 'm laying myself at your feet . please say yes . say yes . anna : yeah . robert : it 's the face of the one man i never wanted to see again . if he 's involved in this , things just got a lot worse . elizabeth : this does n't make any sense . olivia : well , one thing does . that is definitely the face of the man that i saw when i -- when i looked at duke lavery . so , who -- who the hell is he ? elizabeth : i do n't even know where to begin . robert : how does one begin to describe faison ? he 's a relic from the cold war . black ops , wet work for the bad guys . he 's also a ... a toxic strain of bacteria . olivia : and , uh , you two know this guy how ? robert : he 's a master spy . framed me as a traitor . it 's the reason i never came back . the man is ... he 's done a lot worse in life . elizabeth : he 's evil . robert : he 's left a wake of hell . olivia : so , why have i never heard of this guy before ? robert : he 's supposed to be dead . olivia : supposed to be ? robert : well , we never found the body . olivia : okay , but i still do n't get it . why would i look at duke lavery and see this -- this faison guy ? robert : [ chuckles ] well , there 's your million - dollar question , kids . lulu : when duke walked in , your mom saw a different man altogether . dante : who 's the other man ? lulu : i do n't know . she did n't recognize him . he had a different face . dante : and robert ? lulu : is trying to figure out what he saw . dante : well , maybe i should get involved in this 'cause my mother does n't even really know who robert scorpio is . lulu : well , she was less worried about her vision than she was about the kid that we want to have . dante : i 'm sorry . i thought i made it clear to her that we needed some space . lulu : she was respectful of the boundaries . anyway , i told her about the surrogacy . dante : you told my mother that we were gon na have a surrogate for her grandchild ? lulu : she was cool about it . she even offered to pay . dante : what ? there 's no way she has that kind of money . lulu : i know . i know . but it was very supportive and generous for her to offer . dante : well , she was n't the only one . spinelli : i have to admit , this is not at all what i was expecting . it 's like in `` return of the king . `` every time i thought i reached the denouement , i turned the page and discovered another chapter . maxie : but that 's a good thing , right ? i mean , you love those books . and you and i , we 're kind of like , um , frodo and samwise , except i 'm a girl and i 'm in shape and i 'm not hairy . but you know how at the end of the movie , after everything they 've been through , they stay together . spinelli : i did n't realize you knew how it ended . maxie : you made me sit through the extended cut like three times . eventually , everything sinks in . spinelli : maxie , you wanted to move on ! you -- you told me that your -- your feelings for me were strictly platonic ! maxie : i thought they were . and then my -- my mom came back . and i do n't know . maybe it was watching her with -- with mac . growing up , i always hated how my mom ran away from everyone that loved her . but she 's changed . she gets it now . and that made me think about me and my feelings for you and how this whole time i 've been running away from you , when all i really should have been doing was run at you . [ sniffles ] spinelli : i 've loved you hopelessly and ... helplessly for so long . to hear that you return my feelings ... there are no words . consider my mind blown . maxie : this is great . i love you , and you love me , and i finally told you , and you finally heard it , so we can have our happy ending . right , spinelli ? this ... this means you choose me ? [ device beeps ] monica : this is a.j .

's complicating things with michael . i think sonny really just feels like he wants to do something good for someone in his family . lulu : and connect with his oldest son . dante : maybe . look , it 's gon na be tricky between me and sonny forever because of who we are . but i think ... [ chuckles ] i think i 'm okay with letting him help us just this once if you 're okay with it . [ cell phone rings ] dante : yeah . falconeri . yeah ? yeah , i 'm on my way . can we pick this up later ? lulu : yeah . where you going ? dante : to our favorite felons ' house . the quartermaines ' . tracy : a.j . will never change . and if this is what it takes to break through your denial , then so be it . monica : you had something to do with this , did n't you ? tracy : monica , it was inevitable . there 's no way that a.j . is gon na avoid going to jail . he is who he is . you ca n't change it . sam : i thought he was in jail . a.j . : i was released on bail . sam : i was n't speaking to you . michael : he was looking for me . okay , tracy tricked him into thinking i was hurt so that he 'd leave the house . sam : and break the terms of his bond agreement ? that sounds like something tracy would do . very smart , a.j . a.j . : my son comes first . sam : wow . you really are manipulative . michael : look , can a.j . stay here while i go to the quartermaines ' ? sam : you want me to babysit him ? michael : look , the charges against him are already pretty bad . if we can avoid putting `` jumping bail `` on that list , it 's worth a try . sam : it is not your job to protect him . michael : sam , i 'm asking you to help me . sam : [ sighs ] michael : please . sam : okay . you have a half - hour . michael : thank you . a.j . : thank you , sam . thank you . sam : do n't bother . i hope tracy 's plan works and you get thrown in prison where you belong . spinelli : for the longest time , i carried this -- this tattered , little piece of paper in -- in my wallet . a speech i 'd written to convey my feelings for an occasion like this , should you ever want me back . maxie : i love your speeches , spinelli , and i want to know your feelings . tell me now . spinelli : i threw it out last week . maxie : why ? spinelli : because i could n't wait for you anymore . i made a decision to move on . with ellie . maxie : you choose ellie . spinelli : i gave my word . maxie : what does that mean ? you love me . you just said that . spinelli : why could n't you have come to me three months ago ? three weeks ago , even ? maxie : i did n't know how i felt about you a few months ago , and i could n't talk about how i feel until now . you 're gon na punish me for that ? spinelli : i assure you , i 'm -- i 'm not -- it 's not my intention to penalize you . maxie : do n't throw away what we have because i made you wait . do n't throw it away for some girl that you do n't even know . spinelli : her name is ellie . and she 's intelligent , imaginative , humorous , and ... unexpected . she 's also emotionally courageous . maxie : [ sniffles ] spinelli : i like her . and she likes me . maxie : i like her , too . but i love you . spinelli : be honest , maxie . will you still love me in a year ? will you still want me when our -- when our differences begin to grate on us , when my idiosyncrasies start to wear on you , when you 're drawn to someone darker or edgy or someone that feeds your need to take risks , or someone unattainable ? because it seems to be in your nature to want what you can not have ! maxie : i am not that shallow person anymore ! i know what 's important ! support , commitment , understanding ! those things are n't boring ! they 're essential ! and we could have that , spinelli ! things could be different for us this time ! spinelli : ellie and i slept together . and it was n't an accident . we were n't in pain , and we were n't drunk . we talked about it . we -- we -- we chose each other . i - i promised her that she could trust me , and i 'm -- i 'm not gon na break that . maxie : [ voice breaking ] you 'll just break my heart instead . spinelli : that is not fair ! maxie : it might not be fair , but it 's the truth . spinelli : well , then i 'm being truthful , as well . maxie : [ sniffles ] spinelli : maxie , i - i could not be happy with you if it came at her expense . she trusts me . she honored me with her trust . i ca n't break that . maxie : you know , i hear you talk a lot about trust . but i have n't heard you mention attraction or need . you know , those two things that draw people to each other . i wonder , spinelli , if you really want ellie more than me or if you just do n't want to hurt her feelings . dante : sorry to intrude . we got a malfunction signal on a.j . 's monitor . i need to see him . monica : well , i will try to track him down . this is an awfully big house , so i do n't -- tracy : this what you 're looking for ? dante : where is he , dr. quartermaine ? monica : this is not a.j . 's fault . tracy manipulated him -- dante : well , a.j . can tell that to the judge . i need to take him in . monica : well , if i could just talk to him , i 'm sure we can work this out . dante : i 'm sorry . i need to take him downtown . tracy : that could be difficult . dante : are you telling me that he 's no longer on the premises ? tracy : do n't ask me . he 's monica 's son . where is he , monica ? monica : i do n't know . dante : i need to put out an apb . monica : please , please . [ door opens , closes ] if i could -- i could find him , i would bring him to you . and i 'm sure that -- michael : if you 're looking for a.j . , i can give him to you . [ computer keys clacking ] a.j . : jason looks good . he looks happy . sam : do n't touch my things or -- or try and make small talk or act like we 're friends . a.j . : we 're family . you 're my brother 's wife . sam : [ chuckles ] you and jason are brothers in name only . jason has never forgiven you for what you 've done to michael . he would hate what you 're doing now . you 're -- you 're hiding behind him . a.j . : i 'm not hiding . sam : you know what ? i would call the cops on you myself right now if it were n't for michael . you used jason growing up , just like you 're using michael now . a.j . : does it really have to be this way ? robert : faison 's mother was anna 's nanny as a child . i guess faison fixated on her and that then became a life - long obsession . if he 's involved in this , then it 's all about anna . elizabeth : okay , that still does n't explain why olivia would see faison when she looked at duke . robert : maybe faison has some control over lavery . look , he spent 20 years in a turkish prison . anything 's possible . olivia : you know what ? i hate to rain on your parade , you guys , but i 'm not that complicated . i just -- i see what i see . elizabeth : what do you mean ? olivia : i see heather , and heather turns up . i see kate is connie , and kate is connie . i just see what 's actually there . robert : maybe it 's that simple . maybe lavery really is faison . duke : what 's wrong ? anna : um ... i - i just need a moment . are n't we supposed to be having dinner ? can we just have dinner ? duke : did i misunderstand something ? you did n't want to kiss me ? you do n't -- you do n't have feelings for me ? anna : i want to . but i just ca n't . duke : why ? is this about robert ? because robert 's returned to town ? robert : faison knows that anna despises him . so he 's got to come at her from a different angle . perhaps using a different face . elizabeth : you think he had plastic surgery to look like duke ? robert : he has the connections and the resources . olivia : guys , i 'm sorry . this is just -- that 's crazy . robert : no crazier than lavery turning up after 20 years in a -- in a turkish prison when anna 's at her most vulnerable grieving over our daughter ? olivia : but why ? why would he go through all that ? why would he change his whole face and his voice and the way he walks ? robert : because he can . and he 'd do a whole lot more if he knew that that would get him anna . anna : no , it 's not -- it 's not robert . that 's not why i do n't want -- duke : then what is it ? i do n't want to pressure you . i do n't want to make you feel uncomfortable . but ... we 're so close , anna . why are you stopping ? anna : i 'm sorry . it 's you , duke . spinelli : of -- of course i do n't want to hurt her feelings ! maxie : so you admit it . spinelli : but i do n't want to hurt your feelings , either . maxie : if you choose ellie , you will be hurting both of us because we belong together , spinelli , and you will realize that . dante : michael , you know where a.j . is ? michael : he can be here in less than 15 minutes . dante : yeah , see , that 's not good enough since he broke the terms of his bail agreement when he tampered with his ankle monitor . michael : tracy told him that i was hurt . that 's the only reason he left the house -- to help me . monica : i knew it . dante : is that true ? tracy : well , i may have , uh , given a.j . the impression that , um , michael was in trouble . but there 's no law against that . however , there are lots of laws against embezzlement , fraud , kidnapping -- dante : okay , tracy , we got -- we got it . we know what 's on a.j . 's rap sheet . tracy : a.j . needs to be behind bars where he ca n't do any more damage to the quartermaine name and reputation . michael : dante , just let me bring him home . dante : michael , i do n't want you messed up in this . yes , you 've -- you 've completed your parole , but you are legally an ex - con . do not let a.j . drag you down with him . tracy : you listen to this , monica ? you gon na let your son ruin your grandson ? dante : where is he , michael ? michael : can i first ask you a question , just hypothetical ? dante : well , yeah . sure . if it 's not you trying to stall . michael : okay , let 's say there 's a cop who was shot by his own father . and when the time came to testify , he lied and he said he accidentally shot himself . that -- that would be perjury , right ? dante : yeah . michael : and this cop , he did n't really know his father that well . he was n't sure if he could trust him or not . he just did n't want to be the one to send his father to prison . now i can see why he made that choice . can you ? dante : that cop would have to live with that lie every day for the rest of his life . some days it would be easy . other days , it would weigh on him . either way , he would n't want his younger brother in that position . where 's a.j . ? tracy : oh , for god 's sake . he 's at sam and jason 's . sam : if you gave a damn about michael , you would n't put him through this . you would turn yourself in . a.j . : yeah , well , i would n't worry about that too long because i 'm sure i 'm gon na be back in custody soon . sam : you expect me to feel sorry for you ? a.j . : no , i do n't . i - i 've actually done enough of that myself . you know , wondering how i could have done everything differently . you know , sam , maybe you and i actually have something in common . because you know the way jason -- jason loves you ? i mean , it 's fierce , you know . he -- he 's loyal and he 's fearless and there was nothing that you could ever do to -- to screw up so bad that he would n't forgive you . that 's how he used to love me before the accident . and then afterwards , he [ sniffs ] could barely look at me . but i think that 's how he loves michael , and i bet that 's how he loves you . sam : do n't -- please do n't pretend that you give a damn , okay ? a.j . : look , i came back here so that i could see my son and i could make amends . i hate the fact that i did n't get back here in time to make peace with my brother . sam : i do n't know what you heard , but jason is not gone . i mean , he 's -- he 's coming back . he 's coming back to me and my son . a.j . : your son ? you and jason have a kid ? sam : yeah . um ... yes . yes . we do . his name -- his name is daniel . danny , actually . a.j . : so i have a nephew . i -- can i see him ? sam : why ? so you can kidnap him ? a.j . : i do n't blame you for the way you feel , okay ? but i have changed . i have really changed . and when jason comes back , i plan on telling him how sorry i am . but let 's be honest . you and i both know that i do n't have a lot of time , that i 'm probably gon na wind up back in prison . can i please -- please , can i just see my nephew ? duke : i apologize . perhaps we -- we should just have dinner , after all . anna : no , no . look , it 's nothing that you 've done . at least not that i can pinpoint . i ... duke : i do n't understand . anna : it 's really hard to put into words . is this how you imagined it would be ? you and me ? duke : honestly ? honestly , no . when i was in my cell , i pictured you throwing yourself into my arms , telling me that you loved me . of course , i realize you probably had moved on with your life and you probably put me to the part of your mind -- anna : i never forgot about you . ever . duke : to be realistic , anna , i knew you would have moved on with your life . you could n't remain frozen . you would have had other relationships , but i thought when i came back into your life , that we would love each other . and here we are together , and we 're learning to love each other again . anna : we were so happy once , were n't we ? duke : [ chuckles ] we could be happy again . i mean , if you 're willing . anna : this sounds so vague . do i feel the same way to you ? duke : of course you do . and my love for you is just the same . it has n't changed . has your love for me ? anna : something 's changed . i do n't know what it is . but you -- you feel -- different . robert : anna spent most of her life in the intelligence business . under normal circumstances , she 'd be tough to fool . but right now , she 's at her weakest , grieving over our -- our daughter . so what happens ? faison turns up wearing lavery 's face , a man who she loved , the one man who she would hope who might even still be alive . olivia : but how does this even benefit this faison guy ? anna does n't love him for himself . robert : the guy 's a psycho . who knows what he 's thinking . i mean , he might hope that anna 's feelings will change . he might be happy going on pretending . olivia : who are you calling ? robert : anna . i got to warn her . spinelli : you are en -- enchanting -- incandescent -- endlessly fascinating . you -- you are -- filled with en -- enthusiasm and potential , and i wish you all the happiness . maxie : but you do n't want me . [ sighs ] spinelli : not in the way you wish . maxie : because you met ellie . and she 's , um , intellectual and brainy and offbeat just like you are . spinelli : maxie , there is great joy in finding someone that you can connect with . maxie : right . but that 's not why you choose her . it 's because you gave her your word . so you 'll dig in your heels and one day , wake up and realize that you 're in a loveless marriage . married to a woman named ellie spinelli , by the way . have you thought of that ? spinelli : marriage ? no . no . we -- we have n't even moved in together yet . maxie : yet . i just opened my heart to you . does n't that count for anything ? spinelli : of course it does . maxie : right . just , um , just not enough . [ voice breaking ] bye , spinelli . [ sniffles ] [ sniffles ] [ sobs ] elizabeth : robert , are you sure about this ? robert : am i sure that faison faked his own death and came back dressed up as lavery in order to win anna 's love ? no . i 'm not . but if there 's a ghost of a chance he 's involved in this , then she has to know about it . olivia : wait , wait . hold the phone , you guys . i 'm sorry to wreck your story here , but what if we 're wrong about this ? i mean , what happened ? i saw a face i did n't recognize . you drew a picture . is this really enough to sound an alarm ? robert : nobody knows more than anna what this guy 's capable of . elizabeth : but all you have is a sketch of a man anna thinks is dead , and you 're gon na tell her he 's pretending to be duke ? robert : you got a point . you know , my ex is never crazy when i turn up . back in the day , lavery and i , we were adversaries . i never trusted him . but if i tell her that lavery 's faison , well , i doubt she 'll believe me . worse , she might tell him . olivia : and there 's no telling what this faison guy might do if he feels like he 's threatened . robert : i ca n't afford to tip him off . i got to get more proof . duke : i seem different to you ? how ? anna : i do n't know . you 're the man i loved and married and ... eventually mourned . but just -- there 's something that ... it 's like you 're the same , but different all at once . i 'm sorry . i really do n't mean to hurt you . duke : no , i want you to be honest with me . i want you to be honest with me . we ca n't move forward with secrets and lies . anna : it 's me . maybe it 's me . having you back has just made me question everything that i knew . because if i was wrong about you being dead , what else am i wrong about ? duke : do n't doubt yourself . you have n't changed , anna . you 're as intelligent and beautiful as you always were . i am the one who 's changed . how could i not change ? i 've been rotting at a prison for 20 years . but the one thing that did not change was the love that i have for you . so please do n't tell me that i fought my way back here to you ... just for you not to want me . not now . anna : [ sobs ] duke : please . sam : this is jason 's son . daniel edward morgan . a.j . : daniel edward . that 's a good name . sam : danny , i 'd like you to meet a.j . can you say hi ? a.j . : he 's -- he 's really beautiful . jason must have been really proud . sam : he was . danny and i had a rough start , did n't we , danny ? but everything 's gon na be okay . we are gon na wait patiently for your father to get home . a.j . : i really hope it wo n't be long . sam : we 'll wait as long as it takes . a.j . : so will i . sam : do n't do that , a.j . please . stop . a.j . : sam , listen to me . i really hope that jason 's alive . and i hope that he can come back . look , i ... i know i 've got no right to ask this . but can i just hold danny for a moment ? when michael was a baby , i did n't have much time with him . it would just mean a lot if i could just hold my brother 's son . please .

sharon : nick . this is a surprise . come on in . nick : thanks . sharon : um , you know , the way you left before , is everything okay ? nick : uh , yeah . just a minor incident with sage . she 's doing better now . sharon : oh , okay . well , i can see how stressed you are about this , and i know that for sage , it 's gon na be a transition . you just have to remember that sage is gon na get the best treatment from dr. anderson . nick : well , that 's why i came back , you know , so i could be prepared . sharon : for what ? nick : uh , sage 's treatment . i was hoping you can give me some insight on how anderson works , you know , things she likes to talk about , advice she likes to give . sharon : i know you 're nervous about all this , but i - i really do n't think that you can compare the two situations , because i checked myself into fairview voluntarily , and sage ... i just do n't know how my experience would be useful . nick : look , you know the doctor a lot better than i do , sharon . uh , you know , sage 's treatment is in this woman 's hands , so any information you can give me would be helpful . i just want to know everything i can about her . dr. anderson : now that you 've had a nap , how are you feeling ? sage : a nap ? is that what we 're calling it ? that 's cute . your orderly drugged me . dr. anderson : you needed sedation . sage : i needed a phone . dr. anderson : well , you did n't give him much of a choice . in his incident report , he said that you were combative . sage : [ chuckles ] combative ? i told him i needed to speak with my husband , and he would n't listen to me . dr. anderson : he is n't required to listen to you . i 'm your therapist . sage : okay , so is this what i should expect any time i make a reasonable request ? dr. anderson : that 's the problem , sage . it was n't reasonable . you grabbed the man 's arm and yelled at him , demanded to use the phone after you 'd been caught using mine without permission . now , fairview has a very strict policy when it comes to patient aggression . he responded according to the procedures of this hospital . [ sighs ] now , do you want to explain to me why this happened ? sage : it was very important that i spoke with nick . dr. anderson : again , why ? sage : because ... because i do n't want to lose him while i 'm away here . you satisfied ? dr. anderson : you know , you told me that you want us to trust one another . but i sense that you are not being honest with me . sage : oh , is that what you sense ? so any time i 'm not saying what you want to hear , you gon na lock me in here , stick a needle in my arm ? dr. anderson : this process can be as easy or as difficult as you want to make it . all i ask of you is that you tell me the truth so i can help you . now , it 's time for you to explain to me why were you so desperate to talk to nick ? paul : and , uh , who brought her by ? racine pd . she 's waiting in your office . paul : wow . she was that close and i had no idea . eating out of dumpsters and , uh , living in the streets . what the heck . what 'll happen to her now , chief ? paul : well , she 's got to go back to fairview , but i want to question her first and find out how and why she escaped from fairview . and , uh , ask her about those murder allegations . need me to do anything ? paul : uh , yeah . hold off the press . i 'll make a statement later .

[ cell phone rings ] adam : yeah ? marisa : adam , you have to stop him . adam : who ? marisa : noah . he 's going to the police to confess . you have to get there first , bring him to newman , and maybe we can both talk some sense into him . adam : i 'm on it . your grand plan just backfired . noah 's about ready to spill his guts to the cops . luca : he ca n't do that . adam : ca n't do that ? he 's on his way to the police station right now . looks like your leverage just went up in smoke . luca : you 'd love that , would n't you ? adam : not like this . i 'm not gon na let him throw his life away . i got to get to him before he confesses . chelsea : where 's adam ? i need him to handle a business matter . have you seen him ? marisa : uh , no . i was actually just dropping off a report . maybe he left for the night . you should probably just wait for him at home . chelsea : why are you trying to get me out of here ? marisa : i 'm not . chelsea : last time we spoke , you were trying to stop adam from springing his trap on luca . then i come to find that he 's allowing him to stay at the company . marisa : not because of me . chelsea : adam refuses to tell me why he 's changed his mind . but i have a feeling you know . do n't you ? noah : i need to see paul . uh , not right now , because he 's in with his sister , patty . noah : okay . i 'll wait . adam : hey . i need to talk to you . paul : there you go . much better . patty : thank you , paulie . paul : i 'm just so glad you 're safe . you know what i 'm gon na do ? i 'm gon na call steve and todd and let them know that you 're okay . they 're gon na be thrilled , too . we were so worried about you . patty : i did n't mean to worry anyone . paul : well , we were worried sick , patty . we thought you died in the fire at halloween . and then when i discovered that you were okay , i had no idea where you were , what you were doing , or who you were with . i even thought you might have run off with ian ward . patty : ian . he is such a lovely man . i do n't think he would have escaped if i did n't help him . paul : so , you two were together ? patty : not for long . he gave me some money and said au revoir and told me to start a new life . paul : by yourself ? patty : he said i needed to find my own path . paul : right . patty : i tried looking for him , but i could n't find him . maybe you know where he is ? paul : yeah , i know where he is . he 's in prison . ian ward has done some very bad things , patty . patty : i 'm sorry to hear about that . he was really sweet to me . paul : i 'm glad . patty : now that i 'm back ... can i stay with you ? paul : oh . patty : [ chuckles ] paul : no , you ca n't . that 's not possible . you know , you 've done some very bad things , too , patty . patty : [ voice breaking ] what ? what ? you mean the stuff with phyllis ? paul : no , no . not just phyllis . but you remember what happened in the -- in the newman tower ? i mean , she told me that you strangled her and you tried to kill her . patty : no , i did n't -- no , i did n't try to kill her ! i was just trying to shut her up ! she said terrible things about me , paulie . she hit me ! did she tell you that ? ! she hit me ! paul : no , she -- patty : and then she was gon na leave me in the fire to burn alive ! i do n't like her . [ sniffles ] but jack -- you know what ? he was really , really sweet . i 'd like to see him again . paul : all right , well , um , you know , what i 'd really like to talk about -- i 'd like to ask you more about why you -- you broke out of fairview and what you were trying to do . you wanted to see dylan and -- and tell him that he could n't trust sharon , right ? patty : sharon ? why would he not trust sharon ? he loves her . paul : because that 's what you said , that he could n't trust her . patty : no . no , no , no , no , no . not sharon . is that what everybody thinks ? paul : well , who did you mean ? who -- who was it that dylan could n't trust ? patty : dr. anderson . sage : i do n't want to talk about christian . dr. anderson : i realize it 's painful . but if you want to participate in therapy and get better , not just for your own sake but for nick 's , you 're gon na have to get your feelings out in the open . sage : okay . every morning when i wake up , i open my eyes , and then it 's just like any other day , you know ? and then a second later , it all comes crashing down . my son is gone . he 's dead , and he 's never coming back . dr. anderson : and you were n't with him when it happened . you were n't with your son when he died because you were at the benefit with nick . sage : i blamed nick for a very long time for that . dr. anderson : and you still do . even though you 've tried to move forward , you still resent him , do n't you ? you wonder how could he have chosen to leave your son that night when he always seems to be there for faith ? i 've witnessed that devotion myself . i was meeting with nick earlier , and sharon called to talk about their daughter . he dropped everything and went running . sage : well , nick would have been just as devoted to our child , doctor . nick : no , sharon . you 've misread things . sharon : have i ? really ? nick : sage has never been in this situation before , so it does n't matter who her doctor is . i 'm gon na be anxious . sharon : when you told me that dr. anderson was gon na be treating sage , i could n't believe it because sage hates that woman . it just seemed like something was off , but then you gave me your explanation and i did n't question it . now i have a lot of questions , nick . nick : sharon -- sharon : why are you really digging for information ? has sage questioned anderson 's methods ? has she put doubt in your mind ? nick : no , this is n't sage 's fault , so please do n't blame her . sharon : okay , well , am i the one who 's at fault because i would n't let her see sully ? nick : no , it has nothing to do with sully . this is n't what you think it is . sharon : well , then please help me understand , nick , okay ? we 're still family . we still have to look out for faith together , so just tell me what 's going on . nick : [ sighs ] you 're right . i ca n't keep you in the dark any longer . adam : listen to me . i understand that you 're frustrated , but you can not confess . noah : why not ? then this punk ca n't use what i did against us . luca : do n't be a martyr . noah : shut up , luca ! adam : okay , calm down . hey . do n't worry about him , all right ? it 's like he 's not even here . just worry about yourself . noah : what do you think i 'm doing ? i do n't have to hide anymore if this comes out . i should have done this weeks ago . adam : okay , what the hell happened ? because when we spoke earlier , i thought we had an understanding . was i wrong ? i know that you 're consumed by guilt . i get that , man , okay ? but you 're gon na feel differently when you 're rotting away in a prison cell . and by the way , i do n't think victor would want you to confess , either . noah : i do n't care what grandpa wants me to do . adam : damn it , man , we are trying to protect you . do you understand that ? all right ? you do n't want to think about yourself ? think about your family , huh ? what about your parents ? sharon ? what about your mom ? she 's doing well , right ? she 's better . you do this , it 's gon na devastate her . noah : oh , come on . adam : this spells setback , noah . you want that ? noah : that 's a low blow . adam : well , you know , it 's the truth . sometimes the truth hurts . sometimes it hurts some more than others . you want that on your conscience ? sharon : what are you telling me ? that sage is faking it ? she is n't -- nick : she is n't insane . not in the least . sage is n't a threat to anyone , especially not sully . look , we maneuvered sage into fairview so she could get on the inside and learn as much as she could about dr. anderson . meanwhile , i 'm on the outside getting closer to sandy , making it seem like i 'm vulnerable , trying to get her to open up . sharon : this is just so extreme . nick : we do n't know enough about this woman 's history to understand why she has targeted our family . there 's something in her past she 's determined to keep hidden , and that is the key to understanding why she insinuated herself in all our lives . sharon : and you think that she wants you for herself ? nick : i know she does . sharon : how ? nick : she kissed me . sharon : what ? nick : while sage was in fairview , she kissed me . now , does that sound like a professional therapist who 's trying to help me save my marriage ? sharon : oh , my god . nick : sharon , this woman is not who you think she is . every bit of advice she ever gave me was meant to undermine sage and break us apart . look , i 'm taking a big risk telling you this . but i need you to believe me and believe that everything i have told you is the truth . paul : why do n't you trust dr. anderson ? patty : 'cause she 's a monster with two faces and a black heart . paul : okay , i get the idea . patty : and she probably has horns but you just ca n't see them ! paul : i understand . patty : no , you do n't understand , paulie ! paul : i know , baby . patty : no , she 's evil ! she 's pure evil ! [ knock on door ] paul : okay . all right . come in !

[ sighs ] okay . any time i 've done something that i 've regretted , i then try to commit a selfless act , balance out the universe , you know ? if i had taken something that did n't belong to me , right , i then would commit a selfless act towards somebody else . i think it 's a natural inclination trying to find that balance . in fact , i bet even your grandfather does it . any time he stabs somebody in the back or shatters somebody 's dream , he probably writes a big , old check to charity . it 's all about balance . noah : yeah , that 's my grandfather . kevin : well , i would n't worry about it , noah . whatever you 've done , it ca n't be that bad . it 's not like i 'm gon na see you down at the station . noah : i was just there . i went to see paul . but he was too busy . they just found his sister . kevin : they found patty ? noah : yeah . he had his hands full . kevin : well , it looks like you do , too . catch you later . noah : i did n't go through with it , okay , so i do n't need to be babysat , especially by you two . luca : yeah , i 'm not so sure about that . adam : oh , man . you are not helping . why do n't you go get a cup of coffee ? all right ? that guy . god .

adam : you think i should tell him ? noah : i do n't understand how you do it , adam . you work with a man who claims to love and to trust you , and then the next minute he turns around and he uses you like a pawn in a game . adam : here 's the thing , noah . my father , your grandfather , he 's never gon na change . and there 's nothing i can do about it . there 's nothing you can do about it . so i 've just gotten used to it . i 've adapted . and if you want to be a part of newman enterprises or this family , i suggest you do the same . paul : you know your way around , right ?

okay ? dr. anderson : the , uh , office here was apprised of patty 's situation . now that you 've spent some time with her , is there anything else you 'd like to add ? paul : patty had some very interesting things to say about you , dr. anderson . you should know that she 's had a really rough go of it . she 's been homeless . she 's off her meds . her mood has been all over the place . in fact , when i told her that she had to come back here , she had a physical outburst . dr. anderson : it 'll -- it 'll take some time , but we will be able to get her stabilized . is there anything else i should know ? paul : is n't that enough ? dr. anderson : is there a problem here , chief williams ? paul : yes , there is a problem here , doctor . patty escaped fairview under your watch ! and i expect you to take better care of my sister than the last time she was here ! is that understood ? dr. anderson : i understand . paul : i really do n't think you do ! dr. anderson : i can assure you that what happened before will not happen again . nothing is more important to me than my patients ' welfare . nothing . marisa : [ sighs ] i got your text . what happened ? luca : well , you did the right thing calling adam . we were able to stop noah from baring his soul to the police . marisa : how 'd you do that ? noah : they did n't . but i guess they can go ahead and try and take credit for it . marisa : so , did you tell chief williams or not ? noah : no , i did n't . but it was a matter of luck . adam and luca did n't stop me from doing anything . adam did , however , remind me that my actions sometimes have unintended consequences , which is a good thing because i realized another excellent reason to stay quiet . i 'm gon na go along with your little blackmail scheme so that you can stay at the company . luca : why would you do that ? noah : so we can take down my grandfather together . adam : [ sighs ] hey . where we going ? chelsea : i 'm taking connor and i 'm moving out . adam : you 're taking connor and you 're moving out ? why ? because we got in a fight ? does n't that seem a little extreme ? come on , honey . you do n't mean this . chelsea : this is not an empty threat . not this time . adam : okay , all right . l - let 's just slow down a bit here , okay ? you tell me what i need to do to fix this and i 'll fix it . chelsea : you know how they say three strikes and you 're out ? you 're out , adam . sage : [ sighs ] i 'm so glad that you 're here . nick : is everything okay ? sage : yeah , she tried to get into my head earlier . it was really unnerving . nick : i 'm so sorry you 're going through this . sage : it 's okay . i 'm feeling so much better now that you 're here . i did n't think i was gon na see you again tonight . nick : well , there was something i needed to know , so i went and talked to sharon , you know , just to try and get any information i could out of her about dr. anderson . sage : what kind of information ? nick : honestly , anything that can help us . but sharon 's radar 's pretty good , so i ended up telling her everything . sage : everything ? as in -- nick : as in , yes , the whole plan . sage : nick , why would you do that ? she thinks the woman walks on water . nick : sharon needs me to be straight with her . she needs to understand who the real enemy is here . plus i 'm getting tired of her thinking you 're this emotionally unstable person who 's obsessed with sully . sage : did she believe you ? nick : i think over time she 'll accept it . but , see , here 's the thing . i think if i can convince sharon , then we can convince anyone . sage : yeah . i hope you 're right . nick : listen to me . there 's something else we need to talk about . i want you to listen to me very carefully . dr. anderson : i know you felt very frustrated the last time you were here . you did n't feel you got the support you needed . patty : that 's one way of putting it . dr. anderson : i think we can both do better . you know , i 'd like to consider this a fresh start , get you back on your way to feeling better with regular medication , individual therapy sessions , group when you 're ready . patty , this could be a very positive experience but only if you do your part . follow the rules , focus on your own regimen . i do n't want you making friends or disrupting anyone else 's treatment . patty : la , la , la , la , la . it 's the same , old song . last time you did n't want me to see sharon . dr. anderson : well , that 's right . you did n't listen to me . you got yourself all worked up over nothing . now sharon 's home with her husband . patty : my nephew . dr. anderson : and her healthy baby boy . patty , i can help you if you let me . you should get some rest . tomorrow will be a better day . patty : liar , liar . [ cell phone rings ] dr. anderson : hey , sharon . what 's up ? sharon : i 'm sorry to call so late , but i need you to come to my place . it 's important . paul : all right . love you , brother . i guess that 's it . [ sighs ] kevin : [ clears throat ] you okay , chief ? paul : oh , yeah . just , uh ... you know , kevin , my brother grew up always wanting to help people , and i ended up wanting to do the same thing . i do n't know . it must have been something we got from my parents . we took different paths , but that 's what we ended up doing . i guess ... the irony of the whole thing is that the one person that we could n't help ... was our own sister . kevin : if it means anything , paul , i 'm sure you 're a good brother . you 're a good boss . you 're a good man . paul : thanks , kevin . nick : patty 's a very disturbed person . she caused some trouble for sharon when she was in here . sage : and now she 's back at fairview . nick : just do your best to stay away from her . she 's dangerous . patty : dangerous ? i 'm the keeper of all secrets . sharon : thanks for getting here so quickly . dr. anderson : what 's wrong , sharon ? sharon : nick was here . dr. anderson : okay . i imagine he 's here often . what 's going on ? sharon : he said some things that have me worried . noah : victor thinks he can control all of our lives , make us do whatever he wants . well , he 's about to learn that i 'm one member of the family that he ca n't control . marisa : let me talk to him . noah , wait . after everything luca has done and you want to form some -- some twisted alliance with him ? noah : you must think that i 'm some naive kid -- trusting , gullible , right ? marisa : just answer the question . noah : i do n't see what 's so shocking , marisa . you 've had your own twisted alliance going with luca for months now . he found out that i was the driver of the car . you knew it . you knew it could hurt me . you did n't tell me . you kept it to yourself . you made your choice . marisa : i do n't give a damn about luca ! i was only trying to protect you ! [ sighs ] how can you not see that ? luca : you still want her , despite what you say . noah : [ scoffs ] do we have a deal or not ? adam : okay , i knew that you were upset with me before . chelsea : yeah , i had every right to be , adam . you keep shutting me out . i mean , `` go home to connor , chelsea . i 'm too busy with my big , bad schemes `` ? do you know how insulting that is to me ? adam : yeah , i did n't mean it that way . and look , i should n't have spoken to you that way , okay ? i apologize . i 'm sorry . i was overwhelmed by the situation . chelsea : because of what luca did . some information that you do n't think that i deserve to be privy to . adam : which was a mistake . it 's not something you pack your bags and leave over , sweetheart . chelsea : i refuse to be in a marriage where my husband is keeping secrets from me . i wo n't do it anymore , adam . adam : baby , if there are any secrets at all , they do n't affect you . chelsea : `` if there are any secrets `` ? do you hear yourself ? adam : it 's business related . chelsea : no , it 's never -- it 's never just business with you , adam . you are too invested in that company . it 's all personal to you . so anything that comes in business - wise , it affects you personally . adam : chelsea -- chelsea : and then it affects me and our whole family . adam : chelsea . chelsea : i just need to -- i need to go away with connor . i ca n't breathe here . i just need to be away for a while . i 'm gon na get the rest of his things . adam : no . do n't do that . come on , baby . i need you here , okay ? chelsea : i want the truth , adam . you , victor , noah , luca . what is going on ? i am not bluffing . no more lies . adam : yeah , okay . you want the truth , i 'll tell you everything . [ next_on ] sharon : nick suspects ... dr. anderson : nick suspects what ? nick : no , no . all this does is put you more in danger , and i do not like you being in here . adam : unless you can find a burning building to pull some people out of , man , you 're going to prison ! do you understand that ? ! | noah tells marisa that he is going to confess to paul that he was the driver that hit billy . marisa tries to stop him but is unsuccessful . she calls adam to let him know , interrupting a heated conversation between adam and luca . adam goes to the police station to stop noah . luca follows . at the station , adam tries to convince noah that confessing would hurt sharon . noah is unable to talk to paul , who is in with patty , who was found living homeless . patty tells paul that dr. anderson is evil and ca n't be trusted . the police force patty to go back to fairview anyway . noah goes to crimson lights followed by adam and luca . adam advises noah that if he wants to be part of newman enterprises and part of the newman family , he has to accept victor the way he is . in victor 's office , marisa waits for word from adam about noah . chelsea arrives and demands marisa tell her what 's going on . marisa refuses and storms out . she goes to crimson lights and finds luca and noah there . noah tells luca he wants to take victor down along with luca . | <s>[INST] sharon : nick . this is a surprise . come on in . nick : thanks . sharon : um , you know , the way you left before , is everything okay ? nick : uh , yeah . just a minor incident with sage . she 's doing better now . sharon : oh , okay . well , i can see how stressed you are about this , and i know that for sage , it 's gon na be a transition . you just have to remember that sage is gon na get the best treatment from dr. anderson . nick : well , that 's why i came back , you know , so i could be prepared . sharon : for what ? nick : uh , sage 's treatment . i was hoping you can give me some insight on how anderson works , you know , things she likes to talk about , advice she likes to give . sharon : i know you 're nervous about all this , but i - i really do n't think that you can compare the two situations , because i checked myself into fairview voluntarily , and sage ... i just do n't know how my experience would be useful . nick : look , you know the doctor a lot better than i do , sharon . uh , you know , sage 's treatment is in this woman 's hands , so any information you can give me would be helpful . i just want to know everything i can about her . dr. anderson : now that you 've had a nap , how are you feeling ? sage : a nap ? is that what we 're calling it ? that 's cute . your orderly drugged me . dr. anderson : you needed sedation . sage : i needed a phone . dr. anderson : well , you did n't give him much of a choice . in his incident report , he said that you were combative . sage : [ chuckles ] combative ? i told him i needed to speak with my husband , and he would n't listen to me . dr. anderson : he is n't required to listen to you . i 'm your therapist . sage : okay , so is this what i should expect any time i make a reasonable request ? dr. anderson : that 's the problem , sage . it was n't reasonable . you grabbed the man 's arm and yelled at him , demanded to use the phone after you 'd been caught using mine without permission . now , fairview has a very strict policy when it comes to patient aggression . he responded according to the procedures of this hospital . [ sighs ] now , do you want to explain to me why this happened ? sage : it was very important that i spoke with nick . dr. anderson : again , why ? sage : because ... because i do n't want to lose him while i 'm away here . you satisfied ? dr. anderson : you know , you told me that you want us to trust one another . but i sense that you are not being honest with me . sage : oh , is that what you sense ? so any time i 'm not saying what you want to hear , you gon na lock me in here , stick a needle in my arm ? dr. anderson : this process can be as easy or as difficult as you want to make it . all i ask of you is that you tell me the truth so i can help you . now , it 's time for you to explain to me why were you so desperate to talk to nick ? paul : and , uh , who brought her by ? racine pd . she 's waiting in your office . paul : wow . she was that close and i had no idea . eating out of dumpsters and , uh , living in the streets . what the heck . what 'll happen to her now , chief ? paul : well , she 's got to go back to fairview , but i want to question her first and find out how and why she escaped from fairview . and , uh , ask her about those murder allegations . need me to do anything ? paul : uh , yeah . hold off the press . i 'll make a statement later . [ sighs ] hey , pattycakes . patty : hey , paulie . long time , no see . marisa : you ca n't go after luca . noah : oh , is this you trying to protect me again ? marisa : yes ! luca and his family will destroy you . noah : big shock . you think i ca n't handle the santoris . marisa : noah , you -- you do n't even -- noah : do n't worry . i 'm not gon na go after your husband , okay ? i 'm gon na go confess to the police . marisa : you ca n't do that ! noah : yes , i can . it 's the only way to end this nightmare -- admit that i 'm the driver who hit billy . i never should have listened to you and my grandfather in the first place . now luca is using this to blackmail us . marisa : please , noah . listen to me . forget about victor and luca . okay ? do n't go -- for me . [ cell phone rings ] chelsea : chelsea newman . yeah . that payment was supposed to be sent by the end of business yesterday . i am so sorry . i am so sorry . i will fix it right away . okay , thank you . [ sighs ] adam , please be there . please be there . [ telephone rings ] luca : oh , hey . maybe that 's your father . do n't you want to pick it up and share the news about how i bested you ? adam : you can leave now . luca : oh , come on . cheer up , adam . things will go much more smoothly now that we have a mutual understanding . still , i 'll keep my eyes on you in case you try to do something foolish . adam : please , dear lord . tell me you 're finished . luca : no . just remember that i have all the cards now , okay ? as well as noah 's fate in my hands . you know , i ca n't wait to see the look on victor 's face when he learns how the balance of power has shifted . adam : yeah , i ca n't wait to see it , either , because when he finds out what you 're doing to his grandson , you 're gon na wish you never came to this town . sharon : i have never seen a psychiatrist as devoted to her patients as dr. anderson . she 's one of the best , nick . you and sage have nothing to fear with her . nick : this devotion -- i mean , do you think that 's why she 's so interested in sage and her interactions with sully ? sharon : well , i know that sage feels dr. anderson crossed the line , but , you know , as far as my family history goes and my current family dynamics , that all plays into my recovery as long as i 'm still her patient . nick : have you always been this positive towards her ? sharon : i guess there were a few times i questioned her decisions . nick : like when she kept you away from your family and the outside world for weeks on end ? did you think that 's what was best for you ? sharon : that 's a little hostile . nick : sharon , honestly , i do n't mean it to be . i 'm just trying to understand how this woman operates . sharon : you told me you think dr. anderson is the best one to treat sage , but now it 's starting to sound like you do n't trust her . sage : you want the truth ? i needed to talk about sharon . dr. anderson : what about sharon ? what was so urgent ? sage : i needed nick to tell sharon that i can spend time around her baby . there 's no harm there . but i did n't want you to know because i knew you 'd be against it . dr. anderson : well , i 'm sorry that you felt the need to hide this from me . but i 'm glad we can address it now . sage , for you to go to such lengths because you were afraid of not seeing sully , it -- it just proves how fixated you are on someone else 's little boy . sharon has every right to be concerned about you posing a danger . sage : i would never harm that child or any child . dr. anderson : well , maybe not intentionally . sage : how dare you accuse me of that ! dr. anderson : sage , you 're here because you need to learn how to contain your emotions . you have never fully dealt with losing your son . until you do , it 'll be impossible for you to lead a happy and fulfilling life . so let 's talk about christian . noah : how can you ask anything from me , huh ? when you lied to me again , when i know that you 're gon na walk out of here and you 're gon na go back to your husband ? marisa : no , i 'm done with luca . noah : even if i believe that , luca is not done with you . he 's never gon na let you go . but you know what ? i 'm fine with it . i 'm done with your games . meeting you was the worst thing that has ever happened to me . marisa : [ voice breaking ] you do n't mean that . you 're -- you 're in pain , and you 're angry . but i know you love me . noah : you 're wrong . marisa : noah , please do n't say that . noah : i 'm done wasting more time with you . excuse me . i have a confession to make . marisa : [ sighs ] luca : victor will be relieved that noah is safe . no police , no publicity . i 'm sure he 'll appreciate my discretion , perhaps even consider me a worthy adversary . adam : hmm . yeah . he 's known for his appreciation for worthy adversaries . luca : okay , you have a nice evening , adam . i know i will . adam : you have committed the ultimate sin , my friend . you have messed with victor newman 's corporation and his family . if i were in your shoes , i 'd want a running start . luca : well , the old man is just that . his hands are tied . what -- what can he do to me ? adam : i do n't know . maybe you should ask marco . of course , he 's not doing much talking anymore , so ... [ cell phone rings ] adam : yeah ? marisa : adam , you have to stop him . adam : who ? marisa : noah . he 's going to the police to confess . you have to get there first , bring him to newman , and maybe we can both talk some sense into him . adam : i 'm on it . your grand plan just backfired . noah 's about ready to spill his guts to the cops . luca : he ca n't do that . adam : ca n't do that ? he 's on his way to the police station right now . looks like your leverage just went up in smoke . luca : you 'd love that , would n't you ? adam : not like this . i 'm not gon na let him throw his life away . i got to get to him before he confesses . chelsea : where 's adam ? i need him to handle a business matter . have you seen him ? marisa : uh , no . i was actually just dropping off a report . maybe he left for the night . you should probably just wait for him at home . chelsea : why are you trying to get me out of here ? marisa : i 'm not . chelsea : last time we spoke , you were trying to stop adam from springing his trap on luca . then i come to find that he 's allowing him to stay at the company . marisa : not because of me . chelsea : adam refuses to tell me why he 's changed his mind . but i have a feeling you know . do n't you ? noah : i need to see paul . uh , not right now , because he 's in with his sister , patty . noah : okay . i 'll wait . adam : hey . i need to talk to you . paul : there you go . much better . patty : thank you , paulie . paul : i 'm just so glad you 're safe . you know what i 'm gon na do ? i 'm gon na call steve and todd and let them know that you 're okay . they 're gon na be thrilled , too . we were so worried about you . patty : i did n't mean to worry anyone . paul : well , we were worried sick , patty . we thought you died in the fire at halloween . and then when i discovered that you were okay , i had no idea where you were , what you were doing , or who you were with . i even thought you might have run off with ian ward . patty : ian . he is such a lovely man . i do n't think he would have escaped if i did n't help him . paul : so , you two were together ? patty : not for long . he gave me some money and said au revoir and told me to start a new life . paul : by yourself ? patty : he said i needed to find my own path . paul : right . patty : i tried looking for him , but i could n't find him . maybe you know where he is ? paul : yeah , i know where he is . he 's in prison . ian ward has done some very bad things , patty . patty : i 'm sorry to hear about that . he was really sweet to me . paul : i 'm glad . patty : now that i 'm back ... can i stay with you ? paul : oh . patty : [ chuckles ] paul : no , you ca n't . that 's not possible . you know , you 've done some very bad things , too , patty . patty : [ voice breaking ] what ? what ? you mean the stuff with phyllis ? paul : no , no . not just phyllis . but you remember what happened in the -- in the newman tower ? i mean , she told me that you strangled her and you tried to kill her . patty : no , i did n't -- no , i did n't try to kill her ! i was just trying to shut her up ! she said terrible things about me , paulie . she hit me ! did she tell you that ? ! she hit me ! paul : no , she -- patty : and then she was gon na leave me in the fire to burn alive ! i do n't like her . [ sniffles ] but jack -- you know what ? he was really , really sweet . i 'd like to see him again . paul : all right , well , um , you know , what i 'd really like to talk about -- i 'd like to ask you more about why you -- you broke out of fairview and what you were trying to do . you wanted to see dylan and -- and tell him that he could n't trust sharon , right ? patty : sharon ? why would he not trust sharon ? he loves her . paul : because that 's what you said , that he could n't trust her . patty : no . no , no , no , no , no . not sharon . is that what everybody thinks ? paul : well , who did you mean ? who -- who was it that dylan could n't trust ? patty : dr. anderson . sage : i do n't want to talk about christian . dr. anderson : i realize it 's painful . but if you want to participate in therapy and get better , not just for your own sake but for nick 's , you 're gon na have to get your feelings out in the open . sage : okay . every morning when i wake up , i open my eyes , and then it 's just like any other day , you know ? and then a second later , it all comes crashing down . my son is gone . he 's dead , and he 's never coming back . dr. anderson : and you were n't with him when it happened . you were n't with your son when he died because you were at the benefit with nick . sage : i blamed nick for a very long time for that . dr. anderson : and you still do . even though you 've tried to move forward , you still resent him , do n't you ? you wonder how could he have chosen to leave your son that night when he always seems to be there for faith ? i 've witnessed that devotion myself . i was meeting with nick earlier , and sharon called to talk about their daughter . he dropped everything and went running . sage : well , nick would have been just as devoted to our child , doctor . nick : no , sharon . you 've misread things . sharon : have i ? really ? nick : sage has never been in this situation before , so it does n't matter who her doctor is . i 'm gon na be anxious . sharon : when you told me that dr. anderson was gon na be treating sage , i could n't believe it because sage hates that woman . it just seemed like something was off , but then you gave me your explanation and i did n't question it . now i have a lot of questions , nick . nick : sharon -- sharon : why are you really digging for information ? has sage questioned anderson 's methods ? has she put doubt in your mind ? nick : no , this is n't sage 's fault , so please do n't blame her . sharon : okay , well , am i the one who 's at fault because i would n't let her see sully ? nick : no , it has nothing to do with sully . this is n't what you think it is . sharon : well , then please help me understand , nick , okay ? we 're still family . we still have to look out for faith together , so just tell me what 's going on . nick : [ sighs ] you 're right . i ca n't keep you in the dark any longer . adam : listen to me . i understand that you 're frustrated , but you can not confess . noah : why not ? then this punk ca n't use what i did against us . luca : do n't be a martyr . noah : shut up , luca ! adam : okay , calm down . hey . do n't worry about him , all right ? it 's like he 's not even here . just worry about yourself . noah : what do you think i 'm doing ? i do n't have to hide anymore if this comes out . i should have done this weeks ago . adam : okay , what the hell happened ? because when we spoke earlier , i thought we had an understanding . was i wrong ? i know that you 're consumed by guilt . i get that , man , okay ? but you 're gon na feel differently when you 're rotting away in a prison cell . and by the way , i do n't think victor would want you to confess , either . noah : i do n't care what grandpa wants me to do . adam : damn it , man , we are trying to protect you . do you understand that ? all right ? you do n't want to think about yourself ? think about your family , huh ? what about your parents ? sharon ? what about your mom ? she 's doing well , right ? she 's better . you do this , it 's gon na devastate her . noah : oh , come on . adam : this spells setback , noah . you want that ? noah : that 's a low blow . adam : well , you know , it 's the truth . sometimes the truth hurts . sometimes it hurts some more than others . you want that on your conscience ? sharon : what are you telling me ? that sage is faking it ? she is n't -- nick : she is n't insane . not in the least . sage is n't a threat to anyone , especially not sully . look , we maneuvered sage into fairview so she could get on the inside and learn as much as she could about dr. anderson . meanwhile , i 'm on the outside getting closer to sandy , making it seem like i 'm vulnerable , trying to get her to open up . sharon : this is just so extreme . nick : we do n't know enough about this woman 's history to understand why she has targeted our family . there 's something in her past she 's determined to keep hidden , and that is the key to understanding why she insinuated herself in all our lives . sharon : and you think that she wants you for herself ? nick : i know she does . sharon : how ? nick : she kissed me . sharon : what ? nick : while sage was in fairview , she kissed me . now , does that sound like a professional therapist who 's trying to help me save my marriage ? sharon : oh , my god . nick : sharon , this woman is not who you think she is . every bit of advice she ever gave me was meant to undermine sage and break us apart . look , i 'm taking a big risk telling you this . but i need you to believe me and believe that everything i have told you is the truth . paul : why do n't you trust dr. anderson ? patty : 'cause she 's a monster with two faces and a black heart . paul : okay , i get the idea . patty : and she probably has horns but you just ca n't see them ! paul : i understand . patty : no , you do n't understand , paulie ! paul : i know , baby . patty : no , she 's evil ! she 's pure evil ! [ knock on door ] paul : okay . all right . come in !

[ sighs ] okay . any time i 've done something that i 've regretted , i then try to commit a selfless act , balance out the universe , you know ? if i had taken something that did n't belong to me , right , i then would commit a selfless act towards somebody else . i think it 's a natural inclination trying to find that balance . in fact , i bet even your grandfather does it . any time he stabs somebody in the back or shatters somebody 's dream , he probably writes a big , old check to charity . it 's all about balance . noah : yeah , that 's my grandfather . kevin : well , i would n't worry about it , noah . whatever you 've done , it ca n't be that bad . it 's not like i 'm gon na see you down at the station . noah : i was just there . i went to see paul . but he was too busy . they just found his sister . kevin : they found patty ? noah : yeah . he had his hands full . kevin : well , it looks like you do , too . catch you later . noah : i did n't go through with it , okay , so i do n't need to be babysat , especially by you two . luca : yeah , i 'm not so sure about that . adam : oh , man . you are not helping . why do n't you go get a cup of coffee ? all right ? that guy . god . [ clears throat ] so ... noah , i need to know if you 're gon na stand by your decision or if i have to keep worrying about you , you 're gon na confess . noah : i 'm not gon na say anything . what about victor ? adam : you think i should tell him ? noah : i do n't understand how you do it , adam . you work with a man who claims to love and to trust you , and then the next minute he turns around and he uses you like a pawn in a game . adam : here 's the thing , noah . my father , your grandfather , he 's never gon na change . and there 's nothing i can do about it . there 's nothing you can do about it . so i 've just gotten used to it . i 've adapted . and if you want to be a part of newman enterprises or this family , i suggest you do the same . paul : you know your way around , right ? you know all the rules . it 's not like you have to get to know a brand - new place . and when you got here the first time , you -- you liked all the activities . you told me about -- what was it ? -- crochet class . you were gon na make a kitty out of yarn . patty ? pattycakes ? come on . dr. anderson : [ sighs ] hi , patty . i 'm glad to see you . i was so relieved to hear that you were found . i 've , um , been very concerned about you ever since you left fairview . patty : liar , liar , your pants are on fire . paul : patty . patty : you do n't care about me . you do n't care about anyone . paul : sweetheart , come on . okay ? patty : do n't leave me here . please . i swear . i swear i 'll be good , paulie . i promise . paul : i do n't have a choice . this is where the judge ordered you to be . but i 'm happy about that . you know why ? because it 's right here in genoa city . that means i can -- i can visit you all the time . that makes you happy , does n't it ? patty : you got to come every day , okay ? you promise that ? paul : okay . chris and i will come as often as we can . i want you to do me a favor . i want you to let officer millburn escort you back to your room . will you do that for me ? patty : do i have a choice ? paul : i want to talk to dr. anderson , okay ? give me a hug . i love you . patty : i love you , too , paulie . paul : so , go to your room , have a great night 's sleep , and i 'm gon na try and get here first thing in the morning so my face will be the first thing you see when you wake up . how 's that ? okay ? dr. anderson : the , uh , office here was apprised of patty 's situation . now that you 've spent some time with her , is there anything else you 'd like to add ? paul : patty had some very interesting things to say about you , dr. anderson . you should know that she 's had a really rough go of it . she 's been homeless . she 's off her meds . her mood has been all over the place . in fact , when i told her that she had to come back here , she had a physical outburst . dr. anderson : it 'll -- it 'll take some time , but we will be able to get her stabilized . is there anything else i should know ? paul : is n't that enough ? dr. anderson : is there a problem here , chief williams ? paul : yes , there is a problem here , doctor . patty escaped fairview under your watch ! and i expect you to take better care of my sister than the last time she was here ! is that understood ? dr. anderson : i understand . paul : i really do n't think you do ! dr. anderson : i can assure you that what happened before will not happen again . nothing is more important to me than my patients ' welfare . nothing . marisa : [ sighs ] i got your text . what happened ? luca : well , you did the right thing calling adam . we were able to stop noah from baring his soul to the police . marisa : how 'd you do that ? noah : they did n't . but i guess they can go ahead and try and take credit for it . marisa : so , did you tell chief williams or not ? noah : no , i did n't . but it was a matter of luck . adam and luca did n't stop me from doing anything . adam did , however , remind me that my actions sometimes have unintended consequences , which is a good thing because i realized another excellent reason to stay quiet . i 'm gon na go along with your little blackmail scheme so that you can stay at the company . luca : why would you do that ? noah : so we can take down my grandfather together . adam : [ sighs ] hey . where we going ? chelsea : i 'm taking connor and i 'm moving out . adam : you 're taking connor and you 're moving out ? why ? because we got in a fight ? does n't that seem a little extreme ? come on , honey . you do n't mean this . chelsea : this is not an empty threat . not this time . adam : okay , all right . l - let 's just slow down a bit here , okay ? you tell me what i need to do to fix this and i 'll fix it . chelsea : you know how they say three strikes and you 're out ? you 're out , adam . sage : [ sighs ] i 'm so glad that you 're here . nick : is everything okay ? sage : yeah , she tried to get into my head earlier . it was really unnerving . nick : i 'm so sorry you 're going through this . sage : it 's okay . i 'm feeling so much better now that you 're here . i did n't think i was gon na see you again tonight . nick : well , there was something i needed to know , so i went and talked to sharon , you know , just to try and get any information i could out of her about dr. anderson . sage : what kind of information ? nick : honestly , anything that can help us . but sharon 's radar 's pretty good , so i ended up telling her everything . sage : everything ? as in -- nick : as in , yes , the whole plan . sage : nick , why would you do that ? she thinks the woman walks on water . nick : sharon needs me to be straight with her . she needs to understand who the real enemy is here . plus i 'm getting tired of her thinking you 're this emotionally unstable person who 's obsessed with sully . sage : did she believe you ? nick : i think over time she 'll accept it . but , see , here 's the thing . i think if i can convince sharon , then we can convince anyone . sage : yeah . i hope you 're right . nick : listen to me . there 's something else we need to talk about . i want you to listen to me very carefully . dr. anderson : i know you felt very frustrated the last time you were here . you did n't feel you got the support you needed . patty : that 's one way of putting it . dr. anderson : i think we can both do better . you know , i 'd like to consider this a fresh start , get you back on your way to feeling better with regular medication , individual therapy sessions , group when you 're ready . patty , this could be a very positive experience but only if you do your part . follow the rules , focus on your own regimen . i do n't want you making friends or disrupting anyone else 's treatment . patty : la , la , la , la , la . it 's the same , old song . last time you did n't want me to see sharon . dr. anderson : well , that 's right . you did n't listen to me . you got yourself all worked up over nothing . now sharon 's home with her husband . patty : my nephew . dr. anderson : and her healthy baby boy . patty , i can help you if you let me . you should get some rest . tomorrow will be a better day . patty : liar , liar . [ cell phone rings ] dr. anderson : hey , sharon . what 's up ? sharon : i 'm sorry to call so late , but i need you to come to my place . it 's important . paul : all right . love you , brother . i guess that 's it . [ sighs ] kevin : [ clears throat ] you okay , chief ? paul : oh , yeah . just , uh ... you know , kevin , my brother grew up always wanting to help people , and i ended up wanting to do the same thing . i do n't know . it must have been something we got from my parents . we took different paths , but that 's what we ended up doing . i guess ... the irony of the whole thing is that the one person that we could n't help ... was our own sister . kevin : if it means anything , paul , i 'm sure you 're a good brother . you 're a good boss . you 're a good man . paul : thanks , kevin . nick : patty 's a very disturbed person . she caused some trouble for sharon when she was in here . sage : and now she 's back at fairview . nick : just do your best to stay away from her . she 's dangerous . patty : dangerous ? i 'm the keeper of all secrets . sharon : thanks for getting here so quickly . dr. anderson : what 's wrong , sharon ? sharon : nick was here . dr. anderson : okay . i imagine he 's here often . what 's going on ? sharon : he said some things that have me worried . noah : victor thinks he can control all of our lives , make us do whatever he wants . well , he 's about to learn that i 'm one member of the family that he ca n't control . marisa : let me talk to him . noah , wait . after everything luca has done and you want to form some -- some twisted alliance with him ? noah : you must think that i 'm some naive kid -- trusting , gullible , right ? marisa : just answer the question . noah : i do n't see what 's so shocking , marisa . you 've had your own twisted alliance going with luca for months now . he found out that i was the driver of the car . you knew it . you knew it could hurt me . you did n't tell me . you kept it to yourself . you made your choice . marisa : i do n't give a damn about luca ! i was only trying to protect you ! [ sighs ] how can you not see that ? luca : you still want her , despite what you say . noah : [ scoffs ] do we have a deal or not ? adam : okay , i knew that you were upset with me before . chelsea : yeah , i had every right to be , adam . you keep shutting me out . i mean , `` go home to connor , chelsea . i 'm too busy with my big , bad schemes `` ? do you know how insulting that is to me ? adam : yeah , i did n't mean it that way . and look , i should n't have spoken to you that way , okay ? i apologize . i 'm sorry . i was overwhelmed by the situation . chelsea : because of what luca did . some information that you do n't think that i deserve to be privy to . adam : which was a mistake . it 's not something you pack your bags and leave over , sweetheart . chelsea : i refuse to be in a marriage where my husband is keeping secrets from me . i wo n't do it anymore , adam . adam : baby , if there are any secrets at all , they do n't affect you . chelsea : `` if there are any secrets `` ? do you hear yourself ? adam : it 's business related . chelsea : no , it 's never -- it 's never just business with you , adam . you are too invested in that company . it 's all personal to you . so anything that comes in business - wise , it affects you personally . adam : chelsea -- chelsea : and then it affects me and our whole family . adam : chelsea . chelsea : i just need to -- i need to go away with connor . i ca n't breathe here . i just need to be away for a while . i 'm gon na get the rest of his things . adam : no . do n't do that . come on , baby . i need you here , okay ? chelsea : i want the truth , adam . you , victor , noah , luca . what is going on ? i am not bluffing . no more lies . adam : yeah , okay . you want the truth , i 'll tell you everything . [ next_on ] sharon : nick suspects ... dr. anderson : nick suspects what ? nick : no , no . all this does is put you more in danger , and i do not like you being in here . adam : unless you can find a burning building to pull some people out of , man , you 're going to prison ! do you understand that ? !Summarize.[/INST]noah tells marisa that he is going to confess to paul that he was the driver that hit billy . marisa tries to stop him but is unsuccessful . she calls adam to let him know , interrupting a heated conversation between adam and luca . adam goes to the police station to stop noah . luca follows . at the station , adam tries to convince noah that confessing would hurt sharon . noah is unable to talk to paul , who is in with patty , who was found living homeless . patty tells paul that dr. anderson is evil and ca n't be trusted . the police force patty to go back to fairview anyway . noah goes to crimson lights followed by adam and luca . adam advises noah that if he wants to be part of newman enterprises and part of the newman family , he has to accept victor the way he is . in victor 's office , marisa waits for word from adam about noah . chelsea arrives and demands marisa tell her what 's going on . marisa refuses and storms out . she goes to crimson lights and finds luca and noah there . noah tells luca he wants to take victor down along with luca .</s> | 16,325 |

[ footsteps approach ] [ scene_break ] nina : i 'm sorry i did n't tell you where i was . sorry . how 'd you find out ? nathan : your husband , actually , told me that you admitted yourself . look , nina , i know that you 're upset over the kidnapping of this baby , but things are not at all what they seem . nina : uh ... i - i know . but it -- it -- listen , it 's good here . they 're ... they 're taking good care of me . and , um , believe me . here , i 'm safe . nathan : is that you talking , or is that your husband ? nina : [ chuckles ] i know it 's a little extreme , but they 're really watching over me . the doctors are -- are taking good care of me . and , um , it 's ... it 's better -- it 's better than prison . nathan : yeah , but , nina , you would only go to prison if you actually kidnapped the baby , and i do n't think you did . have you considered the possibility that someone is framing you ? franco : you 're innocent . it was somebody else . nina : who was it ? franco : it was your ex . it was silas . nina : yeah . i - i definitely have . [ scene_break ] franco : hey , kiki . it 's good to see you . kiki : good to see you , too . why are you hanging out in the hallway ? franco : well , i - i stopped by here hoping to see you , and -- and here you are . it 's great timing , right ? kiki : yeah . i - i 've missed you . franco : i ... i missed you , too . kiki : what 's in the bag ? franco : it 's takeout . but it 's probably cold by now . why do n't we run down to the floating rib , grab ourselves some burgers , huh ? kiki : oh , sorry . i ca n't . ugh . franco : okay , fine . y - you got me . fries too . please , it 's -- it 's on me . kiki : no , i ca n't go to the floating rib . i have to stay here and see my dad . he said he had something important to tell me . [ scene_break ] morgan : not really sure what you mean . lucas : kiki ? remember ? nice girl , blond hair . morgan : right . kiki , yeah . lucas : yeah . you -- you stay at her place every night . morgan : yeah , no , i - i - i would 've . tonight , she 's -- she 's out of town . she 's at a bachelorette party in the hamptons . lucas : oh , the hamptons , huh ? well , no wonder she did n't want to hang out here with you . dude , i 'm just giving you a hard time , man . morgan : thanks . lucas : relax . yep . her evening 's probably just getting started right about now . i would think your mom 's would be wrapping up . maybe there 's a bachelorette party at the metro court , too . morgan : metro court ? what ? lucas : yeah , where she works . dude , are you all right , man ? did you hit your head on the -- morgan : no , i 'm ... i 'm fine . it 's ju -- i was at the metro court . i was having drinks with my dad , and she was n't -- my mom was n't there . lucas : okay . well , that 's weird . um ... i just -- i mean , i 'm happy to babysit , i just do n't know where carly could be this late . [ scene_break ] ava : you got business with me ? carly : i do . ava : what ? you gon na offer me a job at that fancy hotel of yours ? i tell you , if you have an in - house salon , i just might take you up on it . carly : i do n't think so . ava : then what do you want ? carly : i 'm here to put you on notice . i know exactly what you 've been up to . [ scene_break ] franco : silas said he had to talk to you . did he say what it was about ? kiki : no . just that it was important . franco : well , it could n't have been that important . he 's not even here . i 've been banging on that door for like five minutes . no one answered . kiki : that 's weird . franco : no , not weird . he probably just ran out for a bite , which is what we should do . come on . let 's go . kiki : okay , fine . just let me go put my stuff down . franco : no ! bring yo -- bring your bag with you . you can bring your bag with you . kiki : to the floating rib ? and what , give it its own seat ? franco : [ squeaks ] you could leave it in my car . kiki : why do n't i just put it inside ? franco : because ... when you go inside a place that 's -- that 's this comfortable , and then , you know , inertia takes over , and next thing you know , you 're sitting on the couch with a big tub of ice cream and watching the real housewives . at least that 's what i hear . kiki : franco , you are acting very weird . franco : what else is new ? kiki : no , like weirder than usual . what is going on ? franco : nothing . kiki : great . now i 'm gon na go put my stuff down . [ gasps ] that 's weird . it 's unlocked . franco : kiki ... kiki : oh , my god ! dad ! [ scene_break ] lulu : looks like valerie and dillon decided to shoot pool , too . dante : yeah . do you want to go ? lulu : no , no . we live in the same town . we 're bound to run into each other sooner or later . dante : then i guess we should go say hi . dillon : and the last thing i want is a million dollars . valerie : what ? dillon : oh , nothing . i just forgot about how , in this town , you get the thing that you do n't wish for . although it did n't really work that time , so ... valerie : [ chuckles ] dante : hey , fancy meeting you guys here . dillon : we were just saying the same thing . valerie : yeah , i guess the problem is , when you own your own night club , it 's only one less place to hang out . lulu : well , it would only be a problem if i did n't love the ribs here so much . [ both chuckle ] dante : well , we do n't want to cramp your style . just wanted to say hi . valerie : no , it 's fine . actually , we were just gon na leave . dillon : yeah , we were -- uh , we were gon na go on a walk in the park . valerie : such a nice night . lulu : okay . guys , listen . it 's fine . there is no reason why this needs to be awkward . whatever happened , we 're family . i do n't want to feel like we have to avoid each other . valerie : i do n't want that , either . lulu : okay . well , then why do n't we join your guys ? dillon : i do n't see a reason why not . valerie : sure . sounds like fun . dante : right . fun . [ scene_break ] carly : i have n't heard from my son in days . ava : well , what you doing here ? why do n't you go over to that fancy shmancy mansion he lives in ? carly : you know damn well i 'm talking about morgan . the one who 's seeing your niece . and kiki 's a sweet girl . not terribly discerning , though . she seems to have a weakness for liars and sociopaths . kind of makes sense why she 'd be bonding with you . but that puts morgan in your orbit , so i want to know where the hell my son is . ava : well , how would i know ? carly : because you had your tongue down his throat . [ scene_break ] lucas : you said you were with your dad ? morgan : yeah , why ? lucas : listen , man , i do n't know how much he 's told you , but since it 's all over the news ... his shipments are being hijacked . morgan : hmm . i do n't -- we do n't really talk about business , so ... lucas : it had to have come up at sometime , right ? morgan : yeah , i mean , i - i guess he mentioned something about losing shipments . why ? lucas : yeah , he knows my dad 's not doing that , right ? julian 's out of the business . he told me months ago . morgan : uh - huh . and you 're taking him at his word ? lucas : yeah . i am . i mean [ scoffs ] then again , i 'm not the best judge of honesty . i 've been lied to for over a year now , and i had no clue . [ scene_break ] brad : lucas and i are , uh , let 's just say not good . felix : sorry . brad : me too . felix : i take it that that means you told him why you could n't marry him . brad : you mean because i 'm already married ? yeah , i did . felix : so , how 'd he take it ? brad : put it this way -- lucas never came home last night . [ scene_break ] morgan : you 're not serious . brad 's married ? lucas : [ scoffs ] do i look like i 'm kidding ? morgan : who 's he married to ? lucas : i do n't know , man . i did n't get the details . morgan : he would n't tell you ? lucas : no , he did n't have a chance . i got called away to a three - car pileup as soon as he told me he was already married . and by the time my shift ended , i was so mad , i did n't want to look at his face , so i just came here and spent the night . morgan : so you 're not just babysitting . lucas : [ sighs ] only because i could n't tell carly no after she let me crash here . but to be honest , man , i 'd much rather deal with josslyn than brad right now . morgan : [ exhales sharply ] wow , man . i 'm really sorry about that . lucas : yeah . thanks . morgan : but , you know [ clears throat ] maybe -- maybe brad has an explanation . lucas : what kind of explanation could there be ? it wo n't change the fact that , for a year now , he 's been lying to me , cheating on his husband with me . i mean , it 's just like when sam was dating silas , and she found out that he already had a wife . morgan : right . silas . [ scene_break ] nathan : wait , wait , whoa . wait , so you know that someone 's been trying to frame you ? nina : uh , the thought has crossed my mind . nathan : well then i do n't understand , here , nina . if you knew that there was a possibility that madeline and ric were setting you up , then why would you have yourself committed ? nina : i 'm not talking about madeline or ric . [ scene_break ] kiki : dad ! dad ! [ crying ] dad , it 's me . it 's kiki . franco : oh , no . kiki : wake up ! please ! please ! everything 's gon na be okay . do n't worry . we 're gon na get you help , and we 're gon na get you to the hospital . it 's gon na be okay . i just -- i just -- i just have to call 911 . franco : kiki . kiki , he 's gone . kiki : no ! no , he ca n't be ! no , dad , everything 's gon na be okay . franco : kiki , he 's not -- kiki : no ! no ! just -- i just have to find his pulse . i just have to find his pulse . [ sobbing ] no , dad ! no ! i do n't understand ! how did -- how did this happen ? ! franco : he was stabbed . kiki : [ gasps ] stabbed ? ! but how ? ! and why ? ! franco : i - i do n't know . we need to get out of here . kiki , we need to get out of here . kiki : no ! no ! i ca n't leave him ! no ! i ca n't leave him ! franco : kiki , whoever did this could still be in the apartment , and we need to get out of here right now . we need to go somewhere safe . kiki : no ! no , i ca n't leave my dad ! no , i just -- i just -- i just have to call the police ! [ sobbing hysterically ] no ! [ cell phone clatters ] franco : you ca n't call the police . kiki : why not ? [ scene_break ] dillon : so , dante , uh , i heard your father had his shipment hijacked . dante : yeah , apparently . dillon : how does that work , exactly ? everyone knows it 's not coffee in those trucks , but i mean , like , on the police report , do they list the cargo as coffee , or ... ? dante : that 's what it said on the invoice that we got . dillon : well , word on the street is that it was julian jerome . guess he 's back in the game , huh ? dante : yeah , you know , man , i really would n't know . valerie : the thing is , we 're not supposed to comment on any ongoing investigations . dillon : right . lulu : sorry . i should 've warned you . it 's the first thing i learned when i married a cop . dillon : oh , yeah , valerie works for the pd , too , now . a vital cog in the wheels of justice . valerie : you got it . no one can answer phones , take messages , or deliver doughnuts quite like i can . dante : ah , you 're being modest . since valerie became paa , the squad room runs more efficiently than it ever has before . valerie : what can i say ? it 's a gift . lulu : who 's ready for the next round ? [ clears throat ] dillon : sure . [ scene_break ] felix : hold up . your fiancé did n't come home last night ? brad : [ sighs ] right after i told him the truth , lucas got called into the er . that 's the last i heard from him . felix : okay , wait . let me get this straight . lucas is wandering the streets , and you have no idea where he is ? brad : no , he managed to send me a text that he was staying at carly 's . felix : okay , that 's something . brad : but it 's been radio silence ever since . felix : [ sighs ] sorry , man . that sucks . but try to look at it from his perspective . finding out your fiancé 's already married is kind of a big deal . brad : i just hope it 's not a deal breaker . felix : oh , give him some time . once he 's processed all the details , i 'm sure he 'll reach out . brad : except he does n't know all the details . lucas never gave me a chance to tell him the whole story . [ scene_break ] lucas : [ sighs ] you know , man , i remember the day when sam found out that silas was already married . everything she thought she knew completely turned upside down . she did n't deserve what silas did to her any more than i deserve this . morgan : can we stop talking about silas , please ? lucas : i 'm not talking about silas . i 'm talking about sam . morgan : it 's not about silas . it 's about you and brad , okay ? silas was n't cheating , technically , 'cause nina was in a coma for 20 years . lucas : what , so what are you saying , brad has a husband in a coma somewhere ? morgan : [ sighs ] i 'm saying we do n't know what brad 's deal was . maybe his husband was okay with him cheating . he obviously was n't keeping you guys a secret 'cause you guys live together . lucas : no , the point is brad should 've been honest with me instead of stalling our wedding plans . i mean , what , was he hoping that we would just never actually make it down the aisle ? morgan : yeah , it 's a little crazy . lucas : a little ? [ scoffs ] i mean , it 's like he thought that if we argued about cake long enough , one of us would die first . i mean , come on , man . did he actually think that he could keep this charade going once carly started talking about a double wedding ? morgan : my mom said what ? lucas : you know , that brad and i could get married with her and sonny . morgan : what are you talking about ? my -- my parents are getting married ? lucas : oh , god . what -- nobody told you ? morgan : huh . lucas : oh , geez , man , i - i - i ... [ sighs ] well , i mean , brad 's the one who can keep a secret . obviously , i ca n't keep my big , fat mouth shut . i - i 'm really sorry , man . morgan : no , no , no , no . lucas : i thought ... morgan : no , no . lucas : ... you would have already known . morgan : it 's fine . it 's fine . i 'm sure that 's what all the missed calls were about . lucas : what , you never returned them ? morgan : no . i guess i 've been occupied with my own problems . [ scene_break ] ava : i do n't know where you got your info , but you 're wrong . carly : do n't bother denying it , okay ? i know that you had your hands and your mouth all over my son . and morgan is young and impulsive , and you are clearly taking advantage of him . ava : look at you . are n't you the mama bear . tell me something . do you always make the rounds when you think your son is getting a little action ? or am i just special ? carly : oh , you 're special . 'cause you have the same face as your sister . and that 's why it 's confusing for morgan . ava was a sexual predator who took advantage of my son . ava : did it ever occur to you that ava might have had real feelings for your boy ? carly : no . ava only cared about ava . she killed an innocent woman , denise . connie falconeri was unarmed . she shot her point blank , because she found out that your brother was really julian jerome . that defines a cold - blooded murderer . ava : well , like i keep telling you , i ai n't her . carly : yeah , but see , you 're following the same pattern . ava was selfish , and you 're clearly selfish , because you 're taking advantage of my son , and you do n't give a damn about kiki . ava : no . i would never want to do anything to hurt kiki . carly : wow . you 're getting really defensive . is this about morgan , or did you do something else to hurt that poor girl ? [ scene_break ] kiki : why do n't you want me to call the police ? franco : because -- kiki : because why ? ! franco : because i ... because if they get here and they -- and they see this , they 're gon na -- they 're gon na jump to conclusions . they 're gon na think that i had something to do with this . kiki : why ? why would they think that you had something to do with this ? franco : because i 'm the prime suspect in anything that happens in this town , whether i had something to do with it or not . kiki : oh , my god . you knew . you tried to stop me from coming inside . because you already knew that my father was dead . [ scene_break ] nathan : okay , so , if it 's not madeline and it 's not ric , then who else would frame you for kidnapping avery ? franco : listen , you ca n't tell anyone that you know that silas took the baby because that would be motive to murder silas . is that clear ? nina : i do n't know . um ... nobody . nobody . i 'm sorry . i should n't have said anything . nathan : hey , hey , hey , hey . nina . nina , listen to me . i love you . i 'm your brother , and i 'm a cop . if you can trust anybody , it 's me . nina : i know that . nathan : okay . so let me help you . all right ? what 's going on ? [ scene_break ] kiki : no . no . franco : kiki ... kiki : no . franco : look , how could i have known that silas was dead ? kiki : [ crying ] you did n't even wait for me to check his pulse , because you knew ! franco : i can explain this . kiki : you knew -- you knew that he was stabbed even though there was n't a weapon . what 's in the bag ? you said that it was takeout . i want to see it . show me . i want to see it . franco : calm down . calm down . let -- let 's all just take a breath and relax for a minute . kiki : [ breathing heavily ] hello ? please help me . it 's an emergency . my father has been murdered . [ scene_break ] brad : lucas seemed more interested in the fact that i lied to him rather than knowing why . felix : wow . he 's taking it worse than i thought . brad : thanks . felix : but once he has a chance to cool off , i 'm sure he 's gon na want to hear the whole story . brad : [ sighs ] and what happens when i tell him ? hmm ? all the explanations in the world wo n't change the fact that i 'm still legally we d to someone else . okay ? i - i can never make good on the commitment i made to lucas . [ scene_break ] lucas : listen , morgan , i ... [ sighs ] i 've been going on and on about my own situation , here , and did n't even ask you what was going on with you . 'cause obviously something is , so tell me what 's on your mind . you been having problems with kiki ? morgan : no . kiki 's been great . lucas : then what 's going on ? [ scene_break ] ava : i did n't do anything to kiki . you think i 'd want to hurt her ? she 's part of my new family . i would never want to jeopardize that . carly : then you should 've thought about that before you started making inappropriate advances towards my son . ava : i do n't answer to you . carly : [ scoffs ] ava : and for you to come over here at this hour and accuse me of hurting my niece , that is lower than low . carly : the more self - righteous you get , the more obvious it is that there 's something going on between you and morgan . ava : well , i 'm not saying there 's something going on , and i 'm not saying there 's nothing going on . what i 'm saying is that morgan is a big boy , and i do n't think he 'd appreciate his mommy butting in his personal life . so why do n't you do all of us a favor and get the hell out of here ? [ scene_break ] morgan : thanks . but , uh , i just do n't want to get into it . lucas : you sure ? we 're family . you can tell me anything . morgan : not about this . lucas : why not ? morgan . you in some kind of trouble ? [ scene_break ] kiki : you stay away from me ! franco : okay . all right . but you and i , kiki , we need to get our story straight . i 'm gon na need for you to tell the police when they get here that you and i came in here together . kiki : you want me to lie for you ? or what ? you 're gon na stab me ? like you stabbed my father ? [ scene_break ] dante : that was , uh , dispatch . i just got called in to work a case . lulu : i kind of picked up on that . dante : uh , sorry to cut everyone 's evening short . lulu : well , who says we all are gon na go home just because you have to go to work ? dillon : lulu 's right . the night is still young . valerie : yeah , just try not to think of us having a beer while you 're out walking a crime scene . dante : yeah , you know , your sympathy moves me . [ laughter ] dante : it really does . uh ... next round 's on me . dillon : thank you . we will take you up on that . dante : are you gon na get home okay ? lulu : yeah , i 'll be fine . go stop the bad guys . dante : i love you . lulu : i love you , too . [ scene_break ] nina : you have to understand , what i 'm about to tell you is going to sound insane . even for in here . but , um ... um ... you have to believe me . okay ? nathan : okay , i will . i will . nina , i promise , okay ? whatever you tell me , i 'll believe you . nina : okay . um , tonight , i found out that there is someone else framing me . [ cell phone rings ] nina : do you -- do you have to get that ? nathan : yeah , i ... um ... it 's dante . i got to take it . it might be important . yeah , what 's up ? dante : 911 got a call from silas clay 's address . possible homicide . meet me over there . nathan : all right . all right , i 'm on my way . nina : what 's that about ? nathan : police business , you know . nina : okay . nathan : i got to ... nina : you have to go ? nathan : i got to go , yeah . nina : oh . nathan : i 'm sorry , nina . i 'm sorry , but we got to pick this up tomorrow . nina : o - okay . yeah , we 'll do that . nathan : i 'll be back tomorrow , okay ? i promise , all right ? [ scene_break ] franco : i know what this looks like . i did n't do this to your father . i would n't -- i would n't do something like that . kiki : you would n't kill someone ? franco : not silas . 'cause i know that that would hurt you . kiki : oh , right , because you care about me so much . [ sniffles ] franco : i do . and i know what this looks like . but that 's not what happened . kiki : then what did happen ? if you did n't kill my dad , who did ? [ scene_break ] valerie : so much for date night . [ chuckles ] dillon : i 'm guessing that happens a lot , dante getting called away like that . lulu : unfortunately . but it 's part of his job , so i understand . dillon : a lot better than i would . if i was married to a cop , and i had to worry about her risking her life every day , forget it . i 'd be a basket case . lulu : oh , you get used to it . although i will admit that i 've spent more than a few nights waiting by the phone . they say that no news is good news , but no news is pretty rough , too . valerie : then you must know how dante felt while you were in canada . lulu : what ? valerie : i 'm sorry . i did n't mean to ... i 'm gon na run to the ladies ' room . dillon : um , i do n't think she meant anything by that . lulu : i spent a lot of time annoyed that she was the third wheel in my life , and how here i am doing the exact same thing to her on her date . [ chuckles ] dillon : just admit it . you hate being wrong . lulu : what ? dillon : you always have . you will slog for miles through the jungles of the markham islands without complaint . lulu : [ scoffs ] dillon : you will face down your father 's enemies . you will handle any adventure that is thrown your way . but the minute -- the minute that somebody points out that you are possibly wrong or the smallest bit unfair -- lulu : what -- i am a very fair person ! dillon : you do that . you do just that . you get all flustered , your face turns red . lulu : i - is my face red ? dillon : it 's a little bit flushed . it 's very attractive . lulu : okay , thank you for the compliment . and now that we have established that i am wrong , unfair , and the third wheel ... dillon : and you are beautiful and smart and courageous . lulu : [ sighs ] dillon : i mean , you have to have some flaws or nobody would be able to stand you . lulu : not even you ? dillon : well , i 'm different . we 're related through a fraudulent marriage . i 'm fully able to appreciate how amazing you are . lulu : for the record , you are the only person who can criticize me ... and make me smile at the same time . dillon : well , what can i say ? it 's a gift . [ scene_break ] morgan : thanks for the offer . lucas , i just , you know ... last thing i want to do is dump all of this on you . lucas : sounds kind of serious . morgan : no . do n't worry about it . i have a feeling it 's gon na be okay .

[ scene_break ] carly : you 're as big a liar as your sister . but even more grating , if that 's even possible . ava : then what are you sticking around for ? carly : [ chuckles ] i 'm gon na leave . 'cause i know morgan 's not here . but you know , denise , you stay the hell away from my son . and if i find out that you did anything more than kiss , there will be hell to pay . ava : mm . i do n't take threats very lightly . when somebody comes after me , i take care of them . you thought my sister was dangerous ? well , let me tell you something worth knowing -- runs in the family . [ scene_break ] franco : i know what this looks like , but i did n't do this . dante : drop the bag , franco . put your hands in the air . kiki : [ crying ] franco : okay . nathan : kiki , are you okay ? okay . he 's dead . dante : i think i found our murder weapon . [ scene_break ] [ soft rock music plays ] lulu : to fraudulent marriage . dillon : the gift that keeps on giving . lulu : i hope you know that , even if i do n't always act like it , i appreciate your honesty . dillon : [ sighs ] well , speaking of honesty , have you had the chance to read the latest chapter of my script ? lulu : are you ready for some criticism that 's for your own good ? dillon : lay it on me . lulu : i ca n't . i did n't read it yet . dillon : and here i am , all braced and everything . lulu : [ laughs ] dillon : ready . lulu : things have been really crazy lately . i 'm sorry . i will read it soon , i promise . dillon : okay . okay . but just so we 're clear , honesty does not have to be synonymous with brutal . lulu : mm , we 'll see about that . valerie : what 'd i miss ? lulu : the saddest game of pool i have ever seen . valerie : those guys are finally finished ? thought they 'd never sink one . dillon : i think we need to show these guys how it 's done . actually , i know this really great three - player game . either of you ever heard of cutthroat ? lulu : i ca n't say that i have , but i 'm willing to learn . dillon : all right . valerie : you know what ? i think i should call it a night . i have to be to the station early tomorrow . dillon : right . what were we just saying about the life of a cop ? lulu : that was ... valerie : yeah . lulu : [ chuckles ] dillon : i 'll take you home . valerie : thanks . dillon : uh , do you need us to drop you off at your apartment ? lulu : oh , uh , thanks . know what -- since i 'm here , i 'll just grab some takeout for me and dante . dillon : okay . we 'll see you later .

[ scoffs ] i mean , it 's like he thought that if we argued about cake long enough , one of us would die first . i mean , come on , man . did he actually think that he could keep this charade going once carly started talking about a double wedding ? morgan : my mom said what ? lucas : you know , that brad and i could get married with her and sonny . morgan : what are you talking about ? my -- my parents are getting married ? lucas : oh , god . what -- nobody told you ? morgan : huh . lucas : oh , geez , man , i - i - i ...

'cause you have the same face as your sister . and that 's why it 's confusing for morgan . ava was a sexual predator who took advantage of my son . ava : did it ever occur to you that ava might have had real feelings for your boy ? carly : no . ava only cared about ava . she killed an innocent woman , denise . connie falconeri was unarmed . she shot her point blank , because she found out that your brother was really julian jerome . that defines a cold - blooded murderer . ava : well , like i keep telling you , i ai n't her . carly : yeah , but see , you 're following the same pattern . ava was selfish , and you 're clearly selfish , because you 're taking advantage of my son , and you do n't give a damn about kiki . ava : no . i would never want to do anything to hurt kiki . carly : wow . you 're getting really defensive . is this about morgan , or did you do something else to hurt that poor girl ?

[ scene_break ] spinelli : so , i 've been reading up on propofol , and it 's intended to relax the recipient into a deep slumber . but an overdose , such as was administered to duke , can cause the slumber to become permanent . felix : but i thought duke lavery was supposed to be one of the good guys . so who 'd want to kill him ? spinelli : well , yeah , in his current life , he is an honest , upstanding , trustworthy citizen . but i 'm afraid to say that his history is a long and somewhat variegated history . i mean , he was a money - launderer , an alleged gangster , and his unsuccessful placement in witness protection resulted in decades of incarceration in a foreign prison where he may have collected any number of enemies . felix : wow . dude really knows how to piss people off . spinelli : and seeing how quickly dante made his exit , i bet they have a lead . felix : mm . oh , speaking of leads , you have any intel on the britch 's ubermutter ? spinelli : oh , uh , well , no intel , per se , but i do have a hypothesis . felix : which is ? spinelli : well , i mean , after her medical license was stripped , the young liesl westbourne must have wanted to eliminate any trace of her infamy . she probably changed her name . felix : well , how do we even begin to find her new identity ? spinelli : have no fear , my good friend . i can unearth any secret , no matter how deeply buried it is .

[ scene_break ] ava : i have no idea who , besides us , would want duke lavery out of the picture . derek : you know , this would be a really bad time to lie to me , ava . ava : it was n't me . but would n't it be nice if some other enemy of duke 's did our dirty work for us ? derek : [ chuckles ] yes , well , let 's not count our chickens yet , sister . if there 's one thing i know about duke lavery -- that man is extremely hard to kill . [ scene_break ] anna : i love you so much ... more even than i did all those years ago . i did n't even think that was possible . but it 's probably because i know what life is like without you . you 're so precious to me . i 've ... i 've fallen madly in love with you again . i could n't bear to lose you . duke : anna . anna : oh . duke ... oh , thank god . felix ? felix ! please , he 's awake , he 's awake . spinelli : oh , that 's joyous news . hopefully , i can compound it .

[ scene_break ] emma : that 's a lot of boxes . sabrina : yeah , it sure is . emma : is the new baby gon na stay here ? sabrina : um , yeah , sometimes . you know , your daddy 's gon na be sharing custody with britt , so sometimes the baby will be staying with her , and sometimes it 'll be staying here . guess i never really thought about that . emma : me neither . sabrina : i am now . emma : me too . i guess it 'll be okay , as long as the baby is a girl . patrick : great . okay , let me know if anything changes . okay , thanks . bye . emma : daddy ! patrick : hi ! oh ! how 's my girl ? sabrina : how 's duke ? patrick : that was the phone call to let me know that he 's awake and everything 's good . sabrina : oh , good . that 's great . patrick : yeah , it 's great . emma : i knew you 'd make him better , daddy . patrick : you did ? thank you , sweetie . emma : look at all the stuff you got . patrick : yeah . emma : it 's for the baby 's nursery . patrick : wow . we 're gon na have to get our toolkit out , huh ?

[ scene_break ] felicia : lulu , are you naming the baby georgie ? lulu : we talked about names , and maxie suggested it , but i told her to save it for a baby that she will have someday . maxie : and i thought that was a great idea . lulu : then why 'd you call the baby georgie ? maxie , you know this baby is n't yours , right ?

[ scene_break ] maxie : of course , i know this baby is n't mine . i just sometimes call her georgie in my head , and this time , it slipped out out loud . come on , lulu , you know i use names as placeholders . i called every celebrity on the cover of crimson angelina until the photos were shot and the issue was printed . lulu : i just do n't see what angelina has to do with my baby . maxie : just seemed so impersonal to be calling the baby `` baby , `` so i started calling her georgie instead . felicia : i ca n't wait until you have a little girl of your own named georgie . [ cell phone rings ] lulu : maxie ? maxie : i should get this . it 's probably spinelli . [ scene_break ] dante : the rivalry between duke lavery and the jeromes is pretty well documented . ava : yes , i believe i have heard something about that . but , again , i do n't know what it has to do with me . i 'm not part of that family . dante : right . as you said . ava : so , do you think that every smith in the phone book is related to the frank smith who once ran organized crime in port charles ? dante : no , i -- i think `` jerome `` is not quite as common as `` smith `` is . derek : you know , that 's actually a really good point , detective . dante : thank you . and you are ? derek : me ? i 'm derek wells . i 'm just here because ava was -- she was helping me with some artwork that i was going to invest in . dante : is that your only business with her ? derek : my only ... ? oh , yeah . yeah , yeah . no , uh ... listen -- but , hey , i mean , if she 's involved in some sort of criminal activity , i might have to take my business elsewhere . ava : i can assure you both my business dealings are legal and above reproach . and i certainly do n't know anything about what happened to duke lavery . so , unless you have a warrant , this conversation is over . dante : i guess i 'll , uh , show myself out . ava : what a pity . my daughter is married to your brother , yet you ca n't find the decency to treat me like family . dante : well , you know how it is -- i have a family , you have yours . i got to find out more about yours . [ scene_break ] anna : you know who drugged you ? how ? duke : i saw her . anna : `` her `` ? it was a woman ? was it ava jerome ? duke : ava ? anna : yes , because lucy said she saw a suspicious woman at the party . it was ava , was it ? is that who you saw ? duke : oh ! excuse me .

'cause i was watching you the other day when ben got so riled up with me . i want you to know that he has a right to that anger . same as jordan . it really weighed on me after they left . i had to talk to somebody ... [ chuckles ] a doctor . you know , where i 'm from , they think you got to be nuts to talk to a shrink , but i went . i drove two hours each way every week . and i 'm glad i did . i - i got a handle on things . i came to understand that ... my kids -- they do n't owe me forgiveness . so i got to stick around ... and hope that they find someplace in their heart for me . well , abigail , thank you for listening . brady : kristen , where the hell are you ? marlena : brady , i 'm sure she 's in a cell . brady : kristen . anyone seen kristen dimera ? sir , you got to calm down . brady : hey , hey , hey , whoa . marlena : listen to him . he said , `` calm down . `` brady : are you , um ...

[ scoffs ] definitely nothing . i 'm gon na get that through your thick skull . i am never going to forgive you . is that clear ? ej : got it . nothing 's going to happen . i completely understand , and you will never forgive me . so what is the harm in me staying here ? the children are happy that i 'm here . sami : i 've already worked out what i 'm going to say to the children . ej : really ? and what about everybody else ? not that many people know what 's happened . sami : i do n't care who knows what you did . ej : yeah ? you sure about that ? sami : the board does n't know . the investors do n't know . and there 's no reason for them to find out . ej : you kick me out of this house , word will get around . sami : you would n't . ej : oh , i would n't have to . look , i have no interest in my private life becoming public fodder . but for you ... for you , discretion is critical . will : so your mom went to go talk to my mom to give her grief about how she was treating abigail . so my mom made up this lie about how ej had justin followed when they were working together and that there were pictures of your dad and kayla together . sonny : that is not okay . will : that is my mom . if she gets hurt , she does n't care who she hurts back . i mean , your mom ? why ? sonny : i do n't know . maybe to show my mom how she felt , to justify her anger towards abigail . that is a pathetic excuse , sonny kiriakis , and you know it , which is why i hope that this article serves as a wake - up call . she 's gon na be so busy answering for her own outrageous behavior that she 'll be forced to leave everyone else alone . ej : you 've just taken over as ceo . now , the board -- they think that that was done with my blessing and father 's . sami : well , i proved to them it was a good idea . ej : no , no , you 've done a good job so far . sami : `` so far `` ? ej : they were rightly very concerned when i was arrested . now my father is `` absent . `` kristen -- she 's in lockup ... with the ceo of this company about to face a very public , very ugly trial ... a lot of ugly press . and you know what those old boys are like . sami : i can handle those old boys . ej : sure you can . absolutely . you 're ceo for six months . nobody can do anything about it . but ... what happens if they start pulling out their money ? hmm ? what happens to your big plan for the company if they start panicking ? sami : you know my plan for the company . ej : yeah , i know your plan for the company . yes , you 're gon na leave me destitute , sell off everything i had , leave me in a puddle of my own tears , crying into my prada suits . sami : you still think we 're playing ? ej : i do not . sami : do n't pretend i ca n't hurt you . ej : you do that every minute ... every time you look away . and you do n't need a company to do that , samantha . but you have one . so i would like to see you win . sami : you try to use those kids to hurt me , if you even lift a finger to help your sister -- ej : i will pack my bags and head out the door . [ exhales deeply ] rafe : whatever happens with me and jordan , it wo n't be your fault , okay ? kate : okay . let 's make sure of that , though . i mean , i think it 's the reason you asked me to meet you here , is n't it ? rafe : i hope you understand . kate : of course i understand . i 'm going to keep my distance . but if you have a problem , you call me . rafe : thank you . kate : [ laughs ] rafe : all right . kate : all right . clyde : was n't that the fella my little girl 's dating ? jordan : thanks . ben : what ? jordan : something rafe said . ben : do n't tell me he had some excuse . jordan : no , there 's no excuse for sleeping with kate . even rafe knows better than that . you know , i did leave him in the dark so long about us , our past . and he felt shut out . ben : no , no , no , just stop . in no way is this your fault , jordan . jordan : well , you 're certain . ben : are you just looking for a way to take rafe back ? jordan : i just do n't get it , okay ? after everything that happened , how can i still be in love with him ? will : so what should we toast to first ? sonny : you ? will : how about true vista ? for being willing to give a new writer a chance . that is the first miracle . sonny : no , let 's start with you . will : okay , me .

zoe : excuse me ? sami : the interview . i mean , that 's where i started with the company , so maybe that 's a good place to start . it was definitely troubled , and i was brought in -- zoe : i 'm so sorry . this is not an interview . sami : oh . oh , i thought that the article was about me . zoe : oh , it is . uh , it 's already been written , though . | marlena told brady that kristen was back in town and he wanted to have it out with her . sami though ej was helping kristen with her case and was livid . ej wanted to tell her that he was n't helping her . sonny asked will if it was a good idea to blindside sami with his article . will thought sami deserved it because of the way she treated abby . ej told sami that he refused to help kristen and wanted to work with the prosecution to bring kristen down . it did n't help sami warm up to him . rafe met with kate at the pub and talked about jordan . brady arrived at the station and demanded to see kristen . kristen called stefano to help her . kristen told stefano how daniel is the reason why she 's back in salem . she also told stefano how ej betrayed her and that she was going to get revenge on him . ej wanted to work things out with sami . ej believed that the company 's investors would find out that they split up if he moved out . will hoped that his article would be a wakeup call for sami . | <s>[INST] abigail : yeah , of course . yeah , we use that program at the hospital all the time . yes , i did used to work at the university hospital . no problem . yeah , i 'll get the recommendation from them and i will get back to you as soon as i can , thanks . okay . clyde : hi there , abigail . jordan : hey , kid . want to grab a bite with me when you 're done ?

sonny : how 'd it go with the editor ? that well ? will : she thinks my mom and ej 's break up and her taking over the company is a great story and that my account is compelling and well - written . sonny : wow . will : story 's gon na be published any day now . sonny : that 's great . will : so are you gon na give your mom a heads up ? sami : i just got the kids to bed , so please do n't wake them up . ej : i wo n't . sami : i hope you understand that i am going back to the police station . i am going to have an officer come down here and enforce that restraining order . ej : samantha , there really is n't any reason -- sami : you think something 's changed ? do you think something 's gotten better in the last couple hours ? then on top of everything else , now you are helping your psychotic sister get away with what she did to my brother ? you should pack your bags , dirtball . brady : kristen is here ? marlena : yes . brady : i mean , how ? what did -- she just showed up ? marlena : no , she was arrested . she 's in custody . kristen : hello , father . i am in a jam . marlena : daniel brought her back from st. louis . brady : daniel found kristen ? marlena : no , more like she found him . she ... she kidnapped him on a business trip . he managed to turn the tables and then he brought her back to salem . brady : she 's at the station ? now ? since when ? marlena : just tonight . we all tried to contact you and let you know what was happening , tried to warn you -- brady ? brady , where are you going ? brady : i 'm finally gon na have it out with that bitch . marlena : brady ! ej : look , that is not what happened . would you please just listen to me for a second ? sami : are n't you tired of that ? are n't you tired of having to explain all your stupid decisions , all the groveling ? ej : yes , i am . thank you , i am bone - weary of it . there is no one else on earth , save our children , for whom i would run around apologizing for my very existence . just you , samantha . sami : spare us both . ej : okay . for the first time in weeks , i am not sorry ... sami : no , no , of course not . ej : for something that -- sami : why should you be ? no , you cheated on me , and now you 're doubling down on that by helping your scummy sister . ej : would you just please listen to me while i 'm -- sami : you 're lying ? you 're lying , right ? 'cause you 're still breathing , you 're still alive , your lips are moving , so ... ej : samantha -- sami : obviously you 're lying . ej : would you just please ... wait . clyde : do you mind if i sit for a minute ? abigail : uh , sure , yeah . clyde : i appreciate it . listen , um , i know things were a little , uh , tense the other day with my boy . i thought it might be helpful if i spoke to you one - on- one . you know , there are some things that have never been right between me and ben . abigail : well , i - i think that uh , maybe you should talk to ben about that . clyde : well , the truth is i was , uh -- i was a terrible father to ben and jordan . i mean , they left because i drove them away and that has haunted me since the day they took off . it 's no wonder that they do n't want anything to do with me . abigail : i - i do n't know why you 're telling me this . clyde : my boy needs -- well , he deserves good people in his life . especially after the childhood i gave him . you make him happy . and i 'm -- i 'm so grateful for that . jordan : have you seen rafe ? ben : he has n't been in . jordan : really ? hmm , see i would have thought after you beat him to a pulp , he 'd be hanging out here all the time . ben : maybe i went a little hard on him , but he hurt you . nobody gets to do that . jordan : well , thank you for the sentiment , i think . ben : jordan , you 'll get better . you 'll get over him . unless ... do you want rafe back ? kate : you do n't think i want you to be happy ? rafe : well , i 'd hope so . kate : but you doubt it . rafe : mm . kate : you were there -- you were there when i talked to her . i do n't know if i could fall on my sword more empathetically . what -- i told her that what happened between us was my fault . rafe : yeah , uh - huh . i heard . kate : you know , i have been a good friend to you . rafe : so that 's all it was ? you took on stefano dimera for coming after me -- you risked revenge from stefano -- for a friend ? will : why does mom need a heads up ? sonny : you need to ask me that ? really ? will : every word in that article is true and it could have been so much worse . sonny : it 's still pretty devastating . will : [ scoffs ] my mom will be fine . sonny : not if she 's blindsided , will . i mean , come on , an expose written by her son ? does n't she deserve a chance to be prepared ? will : oh , a chance . a chance -- a chance like she gave abigail when she barged into her house and showed jennifer those pictures of her with ej ? or -- or a chance like how she blackmailed kayla into firing abigail from the hospital ? no , my mom blindsides people with nasty information all the time . just ask your mom . sonny : my mom ? will : oh , yeah . yeah . i doubt she was given any kind of a - a heads up when my mom told your mom that your dad was having an affair with kayla , which was a total lie . sonny : sami did what ? ej : okay . look , just -- do n't you at least want to know what happened with kristen ? sami : like you 'd tell me the truth ? ej : she did ask me to defend her . and i told her `` no way in hell . `` i told her if i was going to help anybody , i would help the prosecution . and that what she did to your brother was reprehensible and unspeakable . sami : wow , it 's really nice to hear your concern for my brother all of a sudden . ej : i have always had concern for your brother , samantha . and i 've had concern for you and brady , your entire family . that 's how this whole situation got started . sami : you know what ? i ca n't , i just ca n't . ej : if i could take back one day in my life it would be that day . this whole thing started then with kristen . i was loyal to a member of my family who did not deserve it . never again . she is dead to me . that is what i told her . sami : and i should believe you , why ? ej : look at me and you will know . sami : i looked at you . i looked in your eyes for months and you were lying to me and i had no idea . so , no , i 'm pretty sure i do n't even know who you are anymore . ej : look at me . everything i just told you ... is true . ( vo ) if you have type 2 diabetes , kate : [ scoffs ] so , what ? do people not go out of their way for friends , only for lovers ? rafe : it was a lot more than going out of your way . you put your life on the line for me . kate : okay , fine . fine . maybe incurring stefano 's wrath is a risky proposition . rafe : uh , yeah . kate : but i did it willingly , and i did it without hesitation , and i would do it for -- for any of my friends . rafe : [ chuckles ] kate : besides that , i think , actually , i was itching to come up with an excuse to go after the old bastard . rafe : right . kate : look ... i was the one who broke up with you . you -- you remember that , right ? rafe : yeah , i remember -- thank you -- vividly , yes . kate : okay , i mean , and as much fun as that was , i knew it was n't going further . i knew that you wanted more than that . and i was happy that you found that . you found it with jordan . rafe : yeah , i thought i did . i 'm trying to respect her wishes . kate : what are her wishes ? rafe : she wants me to stay away . kate : oh , my god . i - i wish there was something i could do to make her see that i 'm not the problem . it 's crazy . i mean , of -- out of everyone , i mean , i 'm the last person who is a threat to her . i mean , i do n't want to be tied down . i mean , i 've been there , done that . i 've always been an independent woman . i do n't need a man to make me feel relevant . even my ex - husband did n't get that . rafe : i got it . kate : i know . i know you got that . look , i - i was so happy for you and jordan . and if i 've wrecked that for you , i am not gon na forgive myself . jordan : the jury is still out on rafe . ben : i thought he was a good guy . jordan : yeah , me too . i listened to my voice mails today -- the old ones that he left . ben : oh , my god . jordan : i know . i 'm like a teenager . it 's so pathetic . you know , it 'd be nice if i 'd had some adult relationships , so i knew how to handle this . ben : well , maybe you should talk to a friend , jordan . jordan : rafe was the best friend i had . but do n't worry . i 'm gon na bounce back from this . ben : yes . jordan : [ sighs ] have you seen clyde ? ben : no , not since before the fight . jordan : me neither . i mean , it 's probably too much to hope for , but maybe he went back to poplar bluff . abigail : mr. weston , um ... clyde : please , it 's clyde . no need to be formal . abigail : oh , okay , clyde , um , you know , the thing is , ben and i are -- we 're just -- we 're taking things slowly . clyde : that 's good . smart girl -- there 's no need to rush into anything . it does n't change the way you feel about him , does it ? 'cause i was watching you the other day when ben got so riled up with me . i want you to know that he has a right to that anger . same as jordan . it really weighed on me after they left . i had to talk to somebody ... [ chuckles ] a doctor . you know , where i 'm from , they think you got to be nuts to talk to a shrink , but i went . i drove two hours each way every week . and i 'm glad i did . i - i got a handle on things . i came to understand that ... my kids -- they do n't owe me forgiveness . so i got to stick around ... and hope that they find someplace in their heart for me . well , abigail , thank you for listening . brady : kristen , where the hell are you ? marlena : brady , i 'm sure she 's in a cell . brady : kristen . anyone seen kristen dimera ? sir , you got to calm down . brady : hey , hey , hey , whoa . marlena : listen to him . he said , `` calm down . `` brady : are you , um ... [ clears throat ] i 'm calm . where is kristen dimera ? is she here ? she is in custody , so nobody can see her tonight . brady : are you new here ? i 'm sorry . i do n't recognize you . sorry . do you read the papers ? do you know who you have here right now ? do you know who she is ? marlena : this man can not take you to her . brady : let me tell you something -- this woman destroyed my family , twice . it 's like a 20-year serial crime that 's still going on in slow motion , so here 's the deal . before the media gets to her and the lawyers get to her , i 'd like to have a word with her . i 'd actually like to look her in the eye and have her answer to me . so you 're gon na bring her out here . bring her out here . i want to see her now ! kristen : well , i know that you and ej have been having your problems with kate and sami , so maybe it 's a good thing that i 'm in salem , huh ? maybe i can , uh ... i do n't know -- maybe i can help . well , i know . i would n't be in salem at all if it was n't for that stupid doctor . yes , i know he saved ej and chad 's life , blah , blah , blah , but that was then , and this is now , father . and he ruined a perfect plan . are you aware of that ? it was perfect . oh , you know what 's really interesting about this , though ? as angry as i could be with that doctor , are you aware of what ej did to me ? he turned his back on me . he betrayed me . yes , he betrayed me . and you know what happens to a dimera when they betray another dimera . there is a very , very steep price to pay . sami : well , you finally decided to ditch your psycho sister . congratulations . it does n't change anything . ej : you know what it means for a dimera to turn his back on a member of his family . sami : you want a medal ? ej : do n't pretend you do n't understand . i chose you , samantha . i 'm all - in . i chose you and our children , our family . sami : the children are exactly why i have to get you out of here before i -- ej : before what ? w - w - what is going to happen ? sami : nothing . ej : hmm ? nothing , huh ? sami : nothing . [ scoffs ] definitely nothing . i 'm gon na get that through your thick skull . i am never going to forgive you . is that clear ? ej : got it . nothing 's going to happen . i completely understand , and you will never forgive me . so what is the harm in me staying here ? the children are happy that i 'm here . sami : i 've already worked out what i 'm going to say to the children . ej : really ? and what about everybody else ? not that many people know what 's happened . sami : i do n't care who knows what you did . ej : yeah ? you sure about that ? sami : the board does n't know . the investors do n't know . and there 's no reason for them to find out . ej : you kick me out of this house , word will get around . sami : you would n't . ej : oh , i would n't have to . look , i have no interest in my private life becoming public fodder . but for you ... for you , discretion is critical . will : so your mom went to go talk to my mom to give her grief about how she was treating abigail . so my mom made up this lie about how ej had justin followed when they were working together and that there were pictures of your dad and kayla together . sonny : that is not okay . will : that is my mom . if she gets hurt , she does n't care who she hurts back . i mean , your mom ? why ? sonny : i do n't know . maybe to show my mom how she felt , to justify her anger towards abigail . that is a pathetic excuse , sonny kiriakis , and you know it , which is why i hope that this article serves as a wake - up call . she 's gon na be so busy answering for her own outrageous behavior that she 'll be forced to leave everyone else alone . ej : you 've just taken over as ceo . now , the board -- they think that that was done with my blessing and father 's . sami : well , i proved to them it was a good idea . ej : no , no , you 've done a good job so far . sami : `` so far `` ? ej : they were rightly very concerned when i was arrested . now my father is `` absent . `` kristen -- she 's in lockup ... with the ceo of this company about to face a very public , very ugly trial ... a lot of ugly press . and you know what those old boys are like . sami : i can handle those old boys . ej : sure you can . absolutely . you 're ceo for six months . nobody can do anything about it . but ... what happens if they start pulling out their money ? hmm ? what happens to your big plan for the company if they start panicking ? sami : you know my plan for the company . ej : yeah , i know your plan for the company . yes , you 're gon na leave me destitute , sell off everything i had , leave me in a puddle of my own tears , crying into my prada suits . sami : you still think we 're playing ? ej : i do not . sami : do n't pretend i ca n't hurt you . ej : you do that every minute ... every time you look away . and you do n't need a company to do that , samantha . but you have one . so i would like to see you win . sami : you try to use those kids to hurt me , if you even lift a finger to help your sister -- ej : i will pack my bags and head out the door . [ exhales deeply ] rafe : whatever happens with me and jordan , it wo n't be your fault , okay ? kate : okay . let 's make sure of that , though . i mean , i think it 's the reason you asked me to meet you here , is n't it ? rafe : i hope you understand . kate : of course i understand . i 'm going to keep my distance . but if you have a problem , you call me . rafe : thank you . kate : [ laughs ] rafe : all right . kate : all right . clyde : was n't that the fella my little girl 's dating ? jordan : thanks . ben : what ? jordan : something rafe said . ben : do n't tell me he had some excuse . jordan : no , there 's no excuse for sleeping with kate . even rafe knows better than that . you know , i did leave him in the dark so long about us , our past . and he felt shut out . ben : no , no , no , just stop . in no way is this your fault , jordan . jordan : well , you 're certain . ben : are you just looking for a way to take rafe back ? jordan : i just do n't get it , okay ? after everything that happened , how can i still be in love with him ? will : so what should we toast to first ? sonny : you ? will : how about true vista ? for being willing to give a new writer a chance . that is the first miracle . sonny : no , let 's start with you . will : okay , me . [ both laugh ] sonny : to my ... talented husband . will : [ laughs ] to my husband , for being understanding even when he does n't approve . sonny : i just hope your family does n't go ballistic . will : no , in sami wars , this is nothing . trust me , i have been in the middle of the battlefields a lot . we 're a tough bunch . sonny : does your grandma and great - grandma -- does everyone know what happened ? will : well , i mean , i 'm sure with the amount of spewing that my mom did , they 've heard , albeit , probably my mom 's own version , which involves her being the victim , which is why this article 's good . it will serve as a fair and balanced account of what happened . to balance . sonny : amen . will : zoe thinks this is gon na get picked up nationally . sonny : whoa . will : we 'll see . i mean , i 'm still such a green writer . i just ... i ca n't believe that i got this chance . sonny : but you took the chance , and you ran with it . that 's what 's important . to my husband , will horton ... writer . sami : yes , mr. shin . i think that reorganization is a very good idea . and i 'm so glad that you agree . no , ej 's not here right now , but i will pass along to him your -- ej : darling , i 'm home ! sami : what ? oh , yes . yes , he -- he just walked in . okay . yeah , no , of course . one wrong word . ej : give me the phone . [ speaking foreign language ] delightful to hear from you . so tell me , how is your son doing at yale ? brady : i just -- sir , if you do n't stop , i will arrest you . brady : great , great , arrest me . put me in a cell right next to kristen dimera . that 's the dimera wing , where they get special treatment , where most of the cops are on the payroll . you 're not one of them , are you ? marlena : you know what ? you are gon na get yourself arrested . please excuse this fool . get over here right now . brady : [ groans ] marlena : you listen to me . this is -- look at me . look at me . this is exactly what she wants . are you kidding ? you want to play into her hands ? brady : she does n't want to hear what i have to say , marlena . marlena : she wo n't hear what you have to say . she wo n't even listen to you . she just wants you here . that 's why she kidnapped daniel -- to lure you to her . that 's all she wants . are you gon na give her exactly what she wants ? are you ? ej : i could n't agree more . samantha and kate are doing a wonderful job , absolutely . well , it 's good to get fresh blood at the top -- that 's what i always say . right . you know , i 've very lucky , mr. shin . my wife is as smart and accomplished as she is beautiful . [ laughs ] you 're very kind . what ? no , uh , actually , that idea was all samantha and kate 's , though my father obviously kept an eye on things , as did i. i 'm happy you 're happy . wonderful . okay , but we 'll talk soon . i 'll pass along your regards to my father . thank you . bye- bye . there ... that could not have gone better if you 'd scripted it yourself . sami : do n't get used to it , ej . do not think that i trust you for one minute just because of one phone call or that i 'm going to forgive and forget because of this . ej : okay , never mind all that stuff . listen ... you have to pay attention to what i have to say , because you 're playing a very dangerous game . sami : [ scoffs ] ben : you were really there with rafe . that 's not something that 's just gon na dry up and disappear in a couple of days . jordan : i did get angry ... really , really angry . ben : well , good . that 's a start ... if you want to get over him . but right now you want to see him . jordan : what ? ben : jordan , it 's all over your face . you do n't want to get over rafe . jordan : look , i - i do n't know . ben : well , then maybe you should go talk to him ... see how it feels . rafe : kristen dimera 's behind bars ?

scott : it 's a digital - media company victor recently snapped up . lauren : and i 'm sorry , did you say your staff ? scott : victor put me in charge of it . lauren : wow ! that 's amazing . scott : yeah . yeah , it was pretty cool of the guy . lauren : it 's a news site , though , right ? scott : it is . i 'm finally doing something that matters , you know ? i 'm gon na be the voice for people who ca n't speak out . exposing fake news . i got tons of ideas . lauren : i 'm happy for you . i know that newman was n't a good fit , and that genoa city was n't in your long - term plans . scott : actually , i was wondering if i could , uh , keep crashing in the guest room just for a little bit longer , till i find my own place ? lauren : does that mean you 're staying ? scott : we 're gon na be moving , uh , hashtag 's headquarters to genoa city , so while other journalists are out in the world , in the middle of all the action , i 'll be making editorial decisions right here from newman tower . so , the only danger i 'll be in , according to you , is if i keep seeing sharon . sharon : anything else i can get you ? zack : i 'm good . thanks . sharon : you 're welcome . zack : something i can do for you ? sharon : i 'm sorry . i was just remembering that you told me your name was zack , and i do n't think i ever really introduced myself to you . i 'm sharon . i own this place . zack : best coffee in town . sharon : oh , thank you . so , how 's the dating app coming along ? zack : oh , you mean the one you 're `` not that into `` ? sharon : did i say that ? zack : yep . sharon : well , you know -- zack : it 's fine . online dating 's not for everybody . but for the sake of my bank account , i wish it were . sharon : [ laughs ] so , um , how do you like genoa city ? zack : well , it 's definitely not the provincial little village i expected it to be . sharon : yeah , when i moved here , i did n't know a single soul . but at least you know abby . that 's good . she can show you around . she can introduce you to tons of people . and -- and i think you know my son 's friend , tessa porter . zack : how come you 're so interested in who i know , sharon ? leslie : yes , excellent work . i 'm so glad you found it . send it to me right away . thank you . ready to continue if you are , counselor . michael : yes , i am . and so are my clients . billy ? billy : let 's do this . michael : cane ? cane : sure . michael : who would you like to speak to first , leslie ? leslie : lily winters ashby . lily : me ? cane : wait a second . can she do this ? michael : she 's not on the witness list . leslie : she is now . judge hazen approved it . michael : i 'd like it on the record that i was not given time to prep ms . ashby regarding protocol . leslie : of course . noted . lily : do i have to do this ? michael : yes . dr. myers : the steroid shot should ease the pain . nick : yeah , i know . but it 's not enough to alleviate the flare - up . i know . dr. myers : correct . nikki : thank you so much for making this house call , doctor . i - i have n't had an episode like this in years . it caught me totally off guard . dr. myers : have you been under any particular stress lately ? nikki : well [ sighs ] i am scheduled to perform a concert coming up , benefiting the new neurological center . so , of course , i am a little nervous about that . but i - i could n't really say no . it was my husband 's idea , and it 's such a good cause . dr. myers : i strongly advise you to take it easy , and eliminate the source of your stress . victor : i guess nikki has been so busy practicing for the concert that no one seems to have seen her . abby : well , i ca n't wait to hear her play . speaking of , you know that list of donors you gave scott and me to sell tickets to ? victor : yeah . abby : good news is , is i won . victor : you did ? abby : mm - hmm . scott and i had a friendly competition to see who could sell the most tickets ... victor : really ? abby : ... and i totally crushed him . victor : you did ? what was the bet ? abby : well , he has to buy me coffee for a week . victor : for a week ? abby : mm - hmm . victor : have him buy you coffee for a month . abby : [ laughs ] victor : anyways , so , uh ... thank you for selling all those tickets . abby : well , that 's not the only thing i crushed this week . the incubator project and the warehouse are officially part of newman . victor : any issues ? abby : i had to pay a little more for the warehouse than i did initially . victor : anything else ? abby : well , i 'm moving forward with the dating app , and i am still looking for other tech startups . victor : maybe you should ask scott to help you with that . abby : i can handle it . victor : sweetheart , that 's not a request . i want you to make use of his expertise . lauren : look , as much as i 'd like to think otherwise , i ca n't tell you who you can and who you ca n't date . or who you should be staying far , far away from . scott : but you can not - so - subtly hint at it . lauren : scott , i 'm telling you ... scott : no , mom . mom . mom ! lauren : ... this woman -- what ? scott : the sharon you warned me about does n't exist anymore . the sharon i know has gone back to college , and she 's studying psychology . she volunteers at a crisis hotline . she 's committed to making her life better . she 's caring and thoughtful . and i enjoy spending time with her . a lot . so , please ? if you could , for me , just retire the anti - sharon campaign ? lauren : look , i - i think it 's great that she 's doing all this wonderful stuff , but there has to be someone else here that -- scott : dating sharon makes me happy , okay , mom ? and if you ca n't deal with that , you 're gon na be seeing a lot less of me . lauren : okay . well , then , maybe i should see this transformation for myself . we should all get together soon . scott : great . how about tonight ? we can have a big old fenmore - baldwin - fisher- grainger `` welcome to the family `` dinner . lauren : well , honey , i - i think kevin is still out of town , and michael has a deposition , and god knows where gloria is . scott : mom . i was kidding . however , would i like you to spend some more time with sharon , get to know the person she is now ? yes . but i 'm not gon na force the issue . lauren : thank you . and , um ... i promise not to interfere with your relationship anymore . scott : really ? lauren : i promise . scott : mm - hmm . sharon : i saw you and tessa here the other day , and she told me that you two knew each other from chicago . zack : oh , we used to hang out with the same group of people . i would n't say we were particularly close friends or anything . sharon : oh , are you a musician too ? zack : not even . business is my art , so to speak . specifically , being a matchmaker for the millennials . sharon : i 'm curious , what makes your site different from the other dating sites ? zack : well , instead of relying on the users to set up their dates , my site has a unique concierge service , and our advanced algorithm takes info from both profiles and arranges a location , a time , and a day for their dates , all expertly and accurately suited for each user . i 'll give you a promo code for one free month premium access if you sign up today . sharon : oh , no , no . that 's okay . i just -- i actually am dating someone . i 'm seeing a great guy . zack : well , you never know what the future holds , though . let me know if you ever need my services . sharon : no offense , but this one 's a keeper . i will not be needing a dating site anytime soon . leslie : would you say you consider juliet a friend ? lily : i did . until she accused my husband of sexual harassment . michael : i 'm sorry . uh , you 're doing great . let 's just try and keep your answers to a simple yes or no . leslie : you spent a lot of time with her at brash & sassy , and in l.a. , correct ? lily : yes . leslie : did you ever hear her tell a lie ? lily : not that i know of . leslie : your impression , though , is that juliet is a truthful person ? lily : i mean , i - i guess so , but how would i really know that ? leslie : did your husband , cane , tell you about the deal he worked on in tokyo with mr. sato ? lily : yes . he was very proud of it . leslie : did he mention juliet 's contribution ? lily : she was the liaison and translator . sorry . yes . leslie : did your husband mention that the deal was called off that night because he gave mr. sato a `` bro hug `` ? lily : no . leslie : then i assume he did n't tell you that ms . helton was the one who convinced mr. sato to come back to the table . lily : no , he did n't . leslie : so , your husband took full credit for closing the asian deal , but never mentioned how close it came to falling apart because of his faux pas . is that correct ? lily : yes , i guess so . leslie : now , who would you say is the liar here ? tessa : you feeling any better ? nikki : yeah . yeah . the steroid shot the doctor gave me is working wonders . tessa : it 's a good thing she could come so fast . nikki : yeah . tessa : why did n't you want me to call an ambulance ? nikki : because the image of me being doubled over in pain , wheeled into the er is not something that i want to get leaked to gc buzz . and it would n't be very good press for the benefit , now , would it ? tessa : guess not . nikki : when you 're a newman , you want to present a certain image to the outside world . but none of this really matters , because it all worked out . i 'm fine . tessa : the doctor said you could have another flare - up . nikki : did you also hear her say that this was most likely due to stress ? tessa : i missed that part . nikki : so , i will just lighten up my rehearsal schedule , and i 'll schedule a spa day . crisis averted . tessa : nikki , the doctor recommended you not perform . nikki : that 's not an option . tessa : sure it is . i 'm sure you know a ton of musicians who 'd be willing to step in at a moment 's notice for such a good cause . nikki : tessa , i told you , i will be healthy enough to perform as scheduled . tessa : what if they find you on the floor of your dressing room like i did earlier ? nikki : all right . you know what ? i am done . i am done with this conversation . we 're not talking about it anymore . nothing can make me not do this concert . tessa : maybe we should tell victor , just in case . nikki : oh , no , no , no , no , no , no , no , no , no ! he is to never know about this . do you hear me ? tessa : sure . nikki : now , this is serious . and unfortunately i find myself in the position of having to trust you . so you must promise me that you will never tell victor about this flare - up . got it ? abby : wo n't scott be busy with the shiny new toy you bought him ? he wo n't be able to stick his nose into my project . victor : so you heard about that , huh ? abby : oh , yeah . of course . he could n't wait to tell me he does n't have to report to me anymore . victor : uh - huh . i still want the two of you to work together , darling . abby : dad , i do n't need his help . i 'm on top of things . victor : you and scott working together is good for business , okay ? abby : oh , really ? so -- so you like when we compete ? victor : you bet . you know why ? it 's good for the bottom line . abby : well , i just figured now that scott 's running hashtag , he 'd be traveling the world again -- it would keep him out of my hair . victor : no , he 's gon na be working from here . abby : great . victor : you 're jealous of him ? abby : what ? [ stammers ] no . god , no . victor : you know , he has great potential . abby : to be annoying and insufferable . victor : no . to be my prodigy . maybe for a future executive position at newman . abby : dad , this is a family company . scott is not family . michael : when you moved to genoa city , you signed a three - year lease on a car ? juliet : that 's correct . michael : do you have student loans ? juliet : i do . michael : credit - card debt ? juliet : i had to charge a lot of things when i moved . relocating from tokyo is expensive . michael : so is making a costly mistake at work . leslie : that 's not a question , michael . please do n't editorialize . michael : noted . you were given a very generous severance package by brash & sassy , were n't you ? juliet : i would n't exactly call it `` generous . `` michael : because it did n't dig you out of the financial hole you got yourself into ? leslie : if this were a formal setting -- michael : moving on to that night in tokyo . when mr. sato finally agreed to the deal , how did the division - manager position come up in conversation ? juliet : i asked cane to put in a good word for me with victoria . michael : and how did he respond ? juliet : he told me he would talk to her on my behalf . michael : were there any caveats to mr. ashby 's offer ? juliet : he said victoria was the boss . it was her call . michael : her call in regards to ... ? juliet : who was hired for the position . michael : oh , so mr. ashby made it perfectly clear that he did not have the power to hire you at brash & sassy ? juliet : yes . michael : does n't that negate your claim that mr. ashby demanded sex for employment -- quid pro quo -- since he did n't have the ability to hire you ? juliet : no , it does n't . without cane 's recommendation , there was no guarantee that victoria would even give me an interview . in order to get a shot , i felt i had to go along with what mr. ashby wanted . and it was perfectly clear what he wanted . i tried to keep things professional , but ... that was not going to happen . michael : what do you mean ? juliet : i discussed my qualifications , even asked for advice on how to approach the interview . but he shut me down . basically said , `` we can talk about the job later . right now , let 's have some fun . `` cane : aaah ! juliet : let 's switch to sake . less potent . [ laughs ] michael : did you talk about the job later ? juliet : yes . after we had sex . abby : dad , i understand it 's important to bring new blood into the company , but that does n't mean they should be in contention for the big chair . especially not scott grainger . he does n't care about business , he does n't care about this company , and you keep giving him chances after i 've proven myself to you over and over and over again . why do you keep making me jump through hoops ? victor : you know i held your siblings to high standards . why would i hand this to you on a silver platter ? you would n't want that , would you ? abby : no , i - i do n't want that . but with me , it feels like you expect more . victor : why do you say that ? abby : because i 'm not just a newman -- because i 'm an abbott , too . dad , you should n't have to question my loyalty . victor : i do n't , sweetheart . but i question your loyalty to jack abbott . abby : why ? victor : because he ca n't be trusted . he 'll insinuate himself into the project without you knowing . abby : he would n't do that to me . victor : oh , yeah , he would . that 's who he is . abby : dad , he knows that that would tear the family apart . he 's focusing on bringing us back together . victor : what , because of that dina mergeron , or what ? abby : yeah , now that she 's back in town , he wants to spend as much time with her as possible . victor : well , good for him . [ cell phone buzzes ] abby : i have an appointment . victor : okay . abby : but dad ... victor : yeah . abby : ... i am gon na prove myself to you . i 'm gon na prove that i 'm a capable businesswoman . sooner rather than later . promise . victor : have a nice day . sharon : would you like a - another cup of coffee ? on the house . zack : uh , i 'm gon na pass for now . i 'm feeling a little wired . sharon : you mind if i ask you a few more questions about your app ? zack : i 'm pretty busy ... sharon : just a couple . [ cell phone rings ] zack : oh , sorry . i got to take this . sharon : no problem . zack : what 's your progress ? that 's not good enough . we need to speed things up . abby : right on time . zack : [ sighs ] that 's ... commendable . abby : you look surprised to see me . did the app not send you a reminder about our coffee date ? zack : oh , there it is . guess i did n't hear the notification . abby : oh , well , it says , `` crimson lights , 4 : 00 . latte and croissant for abby . black coffee and blueberry muffin for zack . `` i love how specific it is . you did a great job . zack : thanks . abby : but i do have some notes that i wanted to discuss with you . zack : why do n't we move out there ? would n't want anyone to overhear what we 're working on . abby : smart . i knew you were n't just a pretty face . [ laughs ] michael : so , how long did you `` have fun `` at the bar ? juliet : i do n't know . until around 2 : 00 in the morning , maybe ? michael : and what happened when it was time to leave ? juliet : cane tried to stand , and he almost fell backwards , so i steadied him and helped him up to his room . when we got there , he insisted i come in . michael : how exactly did he `` insist `` ? juliet : he told me to help him get into bed . it was obvious he could n't manage on his own , and i did n't want him to fall and hit his head , or hurt himself in some other way . michael : so you were just being a good friend ? juliet : yes . michael : so , you took him up to his room , got him into bed . what then ? juliet : he grabbed me and pulled me onto the bed . kept thanking me for helping with mr. sato , and for showing him around tokyo . michael : did you try to remove yourself from the situation ? juliet : i did . but he insisted that if i wanted any help in getting the position at brash & sassy , that i should n't be in a rush out the door . i did n't know what to do . i really wanted that job . everything he said led me to believe that if i did n't have sex with him , i did n't stand a chance . so i did it . and i have never been so ashamed . [ soft melody playing ] nikki : ow ! [ hisses ] tessa : why do n't we try knocking off for the day ? nikki : i told you , i 've already lost too much rehearsal time . tessa : then let 's kick back until the steroids start doing their thing and the pain goes away ? nikki : okay . okay . victor : hi . nikki : oh ! victor . victor : hello , tessa . tessa : hello , mr. newman . victor : i want to show you something . i can hardly wait for your reaction . tessa : whoa ! nikki , looking hot ! victor : what do you think ? nikki : goodness . oh , the wonders of hair and makeup , right ? little retouch here , retouch there . it 's a wonderful thing . victor : all now we need is a banner across that says `` sold out . `` abby and scott have sold out all the tickets . so i have a feeling this concert is gon na be quite a success . and your performance will be a showstopper . victor : no doubt , mr. n. she 's killing it on those ivories . victor : love to hear a preview . tessa : trust me , she sounds amazing . victor : no , but i 'd like to hear for myself . [ cell phone rings ] tessa : sorry , i got to take this . victor : all right . nikki : yeah , go ahead . victor : so , uh ... why do n't you show me how you 're `` killing it `` ? nikki : oh , victor , i am so exhausted . i 've been practicing all day . victor : so what 's matter ? nikki : nothing 's the matter . victor : well , then why do n't you play for me ? nikki : [ sighs ] all right . all right . a few notes . that 's it . scott : hey . sharon : hey ! scott : hi . sharon : should n't you be at work ? scott : is that your way of telling me you do n't want me around ? sharon : not at all . in fact ... i would n't mind if you played hooky every day of the week . scott : oh . well , what if i just move my office into that booth over there ? sharon : that would be fantastic . except i do n't think you would get any work done , and neither would i . scott : good point . why are you torturing that poor little rag ? bad tipper ? muffin shortage ? sharon : you know , it 's abby 's new business partner , zack . scott : what about him ? sharon : i just think he 's hiding something . the guy seems a little shady . abby : i love how the app picked a low - key place for our second date . zack : you do ? abby : yeah . i mean , it did n't just pick this place out of the blue -- it went by my profile preferences . zack : you mean you did n't mess with the matrix to make it match mine ? abby : what are you talking about ? zack : come on . abby newman , a date in a coffeehouse ? in what universe does that happen ? abby : you think i 'm a date snob . zack : i mean ... you 're champagne and caviar . this place is coffee and carbs . abby : okay , why would i want to mess with the testing phase ? the app will only be successful if it actually works . that 's why we 're doing these test dates . zack : so you 're telling me you would be okay if i brought you here on a real date ? i mean , hypothetically speaking . abby : you 're smart , handsome , inventive . yeah , any girl would be delighted to be here with you . zack : any girl ? not you ? abby : look , uh ... i do n't like to mix my business life with my personal life . and since we work together , a real date , i - it 's out of the question . zack : guess we 'll just have to keep booking test dates , then . even though they feel pretty real to me . abby : yeah . i mean , that 's just a testament to how great the program is . [ chuckles nervously ] not my level of interest . zack : uh - huh . so , are you down for a third date ? abby : absolutely . michael : you claim you had sex with mr. ashby because you believed it was the only way he would recommend you to victoria . is that your testimony ? juliet : yes . he made it clear -- if i wanted his support , i would have to sleep with him . michael : he used those exact words ? juliet : not verbatim , but the threat was implicit . michael : you were both drunk , were n't you ? three bottles of sake , correct ? i could have the court reporter read over the testimony if -- juliet : no , if that 's what the receipt said , then it must be right . michael : after three bottles of sake , how could you expect any coherent word to come out of cane 's mouth , much less something as explicit as quid pro quo sex ? juliet : i -- [ sighs ] all i can say ... he said it . michael : you drank as much as cane , did n't you ? juliet : yes . michael : would you say you were intoxicated ? juliet : yes . michael : so , if you were also impaired , how could you possibly understand intent much less remember exact words ? juliet : what he proposed was so inappropriate and shocking ... i was stunned . it was like being hit by a thunderbolt . i never expected something like that from cane . time kind of stood still . i will never forget that moment . michael : so , in that moment -- when time stood still -- you sobered up enough to understand everything that happened that night . juliet : yes . exactly . michael : let 's talk about the morning after . before cane took that flight home . you met him for breakfast ? juliet : i did . michael : mm . was it awkward ? juliet : not really . michael : but a little ? juliet : only when he gave me back my earring . michael : your earring ? juliet : it must have fallen off while -- he found it in his bed . michael : do you have any proof ? did anyone witness cane returning this earring to you ? juliet : not that i know of . michael : well , even though you were ashamed of your sexual encounter with cane , you did not hesitate to accept the lesser position offered to you by ms . newman , did you ? juliet : i wanted to work at brash & sassy . i was eager to accept whatever was offered . it was still a good job . michael : were n't you afraid that the sexual harassment that you claim happened in tokyo would continue in genoa city ? juliet : i needed the money . michael : yeah . the money . it always seems to come back to that -- the money -- does n't it ? in fact , there was no sexual encounter , was there ? sex in exchange for a job -- i 'm sorry , a recommendation -- that was your fantasy , designed to get you the payout you so desperately need . is n't that the truth , ms . helton ? sharon : so , zack claims that he and tessa are just acquaintances , but my instincts tell me , seeing them together , there 's more to the story . scott : oh , your instincts , huh ? mm - hmm . sharon : oh , okay . well , you can laugh all you want . but you know what ? i 'm gon na keep digging until i find out what 's really going on . scott : why are you so invested in this ? sharon : because i do n't want my son getting mixed up in their drama . and without any concrete evidence , noah 's not gon na listen to me . scott : is this what all mothers do ? they go defcon 4 when their son starts dating ? sharon : [ laughs ] is that your way of telling me i am being overprotective ? scott : i would never do that . it 's just when there are instincts involved ... well , abby seems to be enjoying his company . but that 's no shock there . since i met him the other day at newman , i knew right off he was her type . sharon : oh , really ? and -- and what is her type ? scott : oh , you know . good - looking . uh , driven . `` alpha male . `` sharon : mm ... i think that 's what he wants everyone to think he is . scott : but you do n't . sharon : i just have a feeling that there 's something more to the guy , and it 's something that he does n't want people to know . abby : you like music . zack : all kinds . abby : you like concerts . zack : the proof is in my closet . a large number of the t - shirts i own come from `` merch `` tables . what are you doing ? abby : i am just inputting some data to test the app . and ... done ! it worked ! this app is amazing . zack : a benefit concert featuring nikki newman ? is n't she your stepmother ? abby : yeah , she is . and my dad 's organizing the event . zack : you want our third date to be a night out with your family ? sorry . abby : you `` decline `` ? ! [ soft melody playing ] [ song ends ] victor : beautiful . nikki : [ sighs ] are you happy now ? victor : yeah . you 're gon na be quite happy when you realize what i 've planned for the gala . nikki : now , wait a minute , victor . no grand gestures . you 've done quite enough . victor : you just worry about yourself , okay ? anyway , i 'm gon na go down to the stables and work out . tessa , nice to see you . tessa : later , mr. newman . victor : yep . cane : juliet may have been instrumental in bringing mr. sato back to the table , but i 'm the one who closed the deal . leslie : when mr. sato left , that 's when you brought up the division - manager job ? cane : no . no . juliet 's the one who brought that up . leslie : was she excited about the job ? cane : yes , absolutely . she said she would love to have that job . leslie : and you offered to put in a good word for her ? cane : yes , i did . leslie : so you do remember the details of the exchange . cane : yes . leslie : but you told juliet you did n't remember how her earring got into your bed , is that right ? let 's see what else you do n't remember . michael : come on , leslie . leslie : did you have trouble standing up in the bar ? cane : the booze hit me harder than i realized . leslie : is that a yes ? cane : yes . leslie : how did you get back to your hotel room ? cane : juliet helped me . leslie : and when you arrived , did you invite her in ? cane : no , i did not invite her in . she came in on her own . look , do we have to go over this ? we 've already just gone over this . michael : just stay calm and answer the question . cane : i ca n't calm down , 'cause i 'm not guilty of sexual harassment , 'cause i did n't offer her sex for a job at brash & sassy ! leslie : so you 're saying , for the record , categorically , that you and juliet never had sex in tokyo ? come on ... you can do it . abby : well , the good news is , is that all functions on the app are working -- even the `` decline `` button . so , uh , great job . yeah . i actually have to get back to the office , so , um -- zack : abby , hold up . are -- are you mad at me for not wanting to go to the concert ? abby : of course not . zack : it 's just ... meeting your family for the first time on our third date ? abby : it 's not a date date . it 's work . zack : well , you and i know that , but if you show up to some big fancy party with me -- or with any guy -- do n't you think your family would just assume it 's more than a work thing ? that 's why i turned you down , so you would n't have to spend the whole night explaining who i was . abby : i want to . i want everyone to know that you are the guy that 's gon na make newman a ton of money . zack : [ sighs ] [ cell phone chimes ] abby : `` accept `` ? zack : from what i 've read , your family throws one hell of a party . i 'd be crazy not to see it for myself . sharon : i have known some bad boys in my life , and zack definitely has that vibe . scott : huh . what kind of vibe do i give off ? sharon : mm , let 's see . trustworthy . rugged . scott : oh . sharon : and combustible . scott : `` combustible . `` is that even a trait ? sharon : it is for you . because one smoldering look can bring up all these feelings . and i 'm not the only one who 's affected by it , because i actually saw that happen the other day . scott : oh , and what lucky lady was on the receiving end of this smoldering look ? sharon : abby newman . scott : [ laughs ] hate to break it to you , but , uh , your vibe 's a big ol ' bust on that one . sharon : okay . well , if you say so . seemed to me there was a little heat there . scott : no . what you saw was nothing more than white - hot dislike for each other . sharon : okay , fine . scott : jealous ? sharon : no , i 'm not jealous . scott : i have no interest in abby . here . i 'll prove it . tessa : you 're still in pain . nikki : getting better . tessa : you should follow doctor 's orders . nikki : i am not gon na let anything stop me from doing this concert , so get that idea out of your head . tessa : i 'm just looking out for you . nikki : i promise you , by the time of the benefit , this whole attack will be a distant memory . tessa : but if victor keeps pushing you like he was earlier , it could cause another flare - up . it could take a lot off your plate if you just tell him why he needs to back off . nikki : he does n't think i can do anything on my own . he thinks that i need him for every little thing . and i need to do this to prove to him that 's not true . i am not gon na let him win . leslie : you do n't have to answer , mr. ashby . it 's obvious your memory of that night is a little foggy . i 'll be happy to help refresh it for you . michael : wait a minute . what 's this about ? leslie : the reason we 're here , michael . to let you know what evidence we have . hotel footage from the night in question . footage from the next morning . the time stamp shows 7 : 13 a.m . | sharon tells scott that she thinks zack is a bad boy trying to convince everyone that he is a good person . she also thinks that he may be hiding something about his past relationship with tessa . tessa finds nikki on the floor after her ms flare up . she wants to call 911 but nikki tells her to call her doctor so she can come to the house . the doctor gives nikki a steroid shot to help with the pain and advises her to get rid of the cause of her stress or she could have another flare up . tessa tries to persuade nikki to get someone else to play the benefit concert for the sake of her health , but nikki refuses to let victor think she ca n't make it without his help and makes tessa promise not to tell victor about the flare up . sharon tells scott she sees sparks between him and abby , but he insists he is n't interested in abby . abby persuades zack to go with her to nikki 's benefit concert even though he does n't want to go at first , because he does n't want her family to think they are really dating . victor tells abby that he thinks scott has potential to be his protégé which upsets abby who points out scott is n't family and does n't deserve to be considered for the big chair . abby tells victor that she will prove to him she deserves to be his protégé and sit in the big chair . | <s>[INST] [ cell phone buzzing ] leslie : uh , shall we take this moment for a short break ? michael : oh , that 's fine by me . leslie : thanks for getting back to me so soon . hi . billy : well , that was intense . victoria : no , no . she needs to know that we will not be intimidated . we 're gon na win because we have the truth on our side .

victor : she has n't seen it yet . i will show it to her later on at home . abby : oh . you know , i have n't seen nikki recently . is she okay ? victor : why would n't she be ? nikki : [ groaning ] oh , god ... tessa : nikki ?

scott : it 's a digital - media company victor recently snapped up . lauren : and i 'm sorry , did you say your staff ? scott : victor put me in charge of it . lauren : wow ! that 's amazing . scott : yeah . yeah , it was pretty cool of the guy . lauren : it 's a news site , though , right ? scott : it is . i 'm finally doing something that matters , you know ? i 'm gon na be the voice for people who ca n't speak out . exposing fake news . i got tons of ideas . lauren : i 'm happy for you . i know that newman was n't a good fit , and that genoa city was n't in your long - term plans . scott : actually , i was wondering if i could , uh , keep crashing in the guest room just for a little bit longer , till i find my own place ? lauren : does that mean you 're staying ? scott : we 're gon na be moving , uh , hashtag 's headquarters to genoa city , so while other journalists are out in the world , in the middle of all the action , i 'll be making editorial decisions right here from newman tower . so , the only danger i 'll be in , according to you , is if i keep seeing sharon . sharon : anything else i can get you ? zack : i 'm good . thanks . sharon : you 're welcome . zack : something i can do for you ? sharon : i 'm sorry . i was just remembering that you told me your name was zack , and i do n't think i ever really introduced myself to you . i 'm sharon . i own this place . zack : best coffee in town . sharon : oh , thank you . so , how 's the dating app coming along ? zack : oh , you mean the one you 're `` not that into `` ? sharon : did i say that ? zack : yep . sharon : well , you know -- zack : it 's fine . online dating 's not for everybody . but for the sake of my bank account , i wish it were . sharon : [ laughs ] so , um , how do you like genoa city ? zack : well , it 's definitely not the provincial little village i expected it to be . sharon : yeah , when i moved here , i did n't know a single soul . but at least you know abby . that 's good . she can show you around . she can introduce you to tons of people . and -- and i think you know my son 's friend , tessa porter . zack : how come you 're so interested in who i know , sharon ? leslie : yes , excellent work . i 'm so glad you found it . send it to me right away . thank you . ready to continue if you are , counselor . michael : yes , i am . and so are my clients . billy ? billy : let 's do this . michael : cane ? cane : sure . michael : who would you like to speak to first , leslie ? leslie : lily winters ashby . lily : me ? cane : wait a second . can she do this ? michael : she 's not on the witness list . leslie : she is now . judge hazen approved it . michael : i 'd like it on the record that i was not given time to prep ms . ashby regarding protocol . leslie : of course . noted . lily : do i have to do this ? michael : yes . dr. myers : the steroid shot should ease the pain . nick : yeah , i know . but it 's not enough to alleviate the flare - up . i know . dr. myers : correct . nikki : thank you so much for making this house call , doctor . i - i have n't had an episode like this in years . it caught me totally off guard . dr. myers : have you been under any particular stress lately ? nikki : well [ sighs ] i am scheduled to perform a concert coming up , benefiting the new neurological center . so , of course , i am a little nervous about that . but i - i could n't really say no . it was my husband 's idea , and it 's such a good cause . dr. myers : i strongly advise you to take it easy , and eliminate the source of your stress . victor : i guess nikki has been so busy practicing for the concert that no one seems to have seen her . abby : well , i ca n't wait to hear her play . speaking of , you know that list of donors you gave scott and me to sell tickets to ? victor : yeah . abby : good news is , is i won . victor : you did ? abby : mm - hmm . scott and i had a friendly competition to see who could sell the most tickets ... victor : really ? abby : ... and i totally crushed him . victor : you did ? what was the bet ? abby : well , he has to buy me coffee for a week . victor : for a week ? abby : mm - hmm . victor : have him buy you coffee for a month . abby : [ laughs ] victor : anyways , so , uh ... thank you for selling all those tickets . abby : well , that 's not the only thing i crushed this week . the incubator project and the warehouse are officially part of newman . victor : any issues ? abby : i had to pay a little more for the warehouse than i did initially . victor : anything else ? abby : well , i 'm moving forward with the dating app , and i am still looking for other tech startups . victor : maybe you should ask scott to help you with that . abby : i can handle it . victor : sweetheart , that 's not a request . i want you to make use of his expertise . lauren : look , as much as i 'd like to think otherwise , i ca n't tell you who you can and who you ca n't date . or who you should be staying far , far away from . scott : but you can not - so - subtly hint at it . lauren : scott , i 'm telling you ... scott : no , mom . mom . mom ! lauren : ... this woman -- what ? scott : the sharon you warned me about does n't exist anymore . the sharon i know has gone back to college , and she 's studying psychology . she volunteers at a crisis hotline . she 's committed to making her life better . she 's caring and thoughtful . and i enjoy spending time with her . a lot . so , please ? if you could , for me , just retire the anti - sharon campaign ? lauren : look , i - i think it 's great that she 's doing all this wonderful stuff , but there has to be someone else here that -- scott : dating sharon makes me happy , okay , mom ? and if you ca n't deal with that , you 're gon na be seeing a lot less of me . lauren : okay . well , then , maybe i should see this transformation for myself . we should all get together soon . scott : great . how about tonight ? we can have a big old fenmore - baldwin - fisher- grainger `` welcome to the family `` dinner . lauren : well , honey , i - i think kevin is still out of town , and michael has a deposition , and god knows where gloria is . scott : mom . i was kidding . however , would i like you to spend some more time with sharon , get to know the person she is now ? yes . but i 'm not gon na force the issue . lauren : thank you . and , um ... i promise not to interfere with your relationship anymore . scott : really ? lauren : i promise . scott : mm - hmm . sharon : i saw you and tessa here the other day , and she told me that you two knew each other from chicago . zack : oh , we used to hang out with the same group of people . i would n't say we were particularly close friends or anything . sharon : oh , are you a musician too ? zack : not even . business is my art , so to speak . specifically , being a matchmaker for the millennials . sharon : i 'm curious , what makes your site different from the other dating sites ? zack : well , instead of relying on the users to set up their dates , my site has a unique concierge service , and our advanced algorithm takes info from both profiles and arranges a location , a time , and a day for their dates , all expertly and accurately suited for each user . i 'll give you a promo code for one free month premium access if you sign up today . sharon : oh , no , no . that 's okay . i just -- i actually am dating someone . i 'm seeing a great guy . zack : well , you never know what the future holds , though . let me know if you ever need my services . sharon : no offense , but this one 's a keeper . i will not be needing a dating site anytime soon . leslie : would you say you consider juliet a friend ? lily : i did . until she accused my husband of sexual harassment . michael : i 'm sorry . uh , you 're doing great . let 's just try and keep your answers to a simple yes or no . leslie : you spent a lot of time with her at brash & sassy , and in l.a. , correct ? lily : yes . leslie : did you ever hear her tell a lie ? lily : not that i know of . leslie : your impression , though , is that juliet is a truthful person ? lily : i mean , i - i guess so , but how would i really know that ? leslie : did your husband , cane , tell you about the deal he worked on in tokyo with mr. sato ? lily : yes . he was very proud of it . leslie : did he mention juliet 's contribution ? lily : she was the liaison and translator . sorry . yes . leslie : did your husband mention that the deal was called off that night because he gave mr. sato a `` bro hug `` ? lily : no . leslie : then i assume he did n't tell you that ms . helton was the one who convinced mr. sato to come back to the table . lily : no , he did n't . leslie : so , your husband took full credit for closing the asian deal , but never mentioned how close it came to falling apart because of his faux pas . is that correct ? lily : yes , i guess so . leslie : now , who would you say is the liar here ? tessa : you feeling any better ? nikki : yeah . yeah . the steroid shot the doctor gave me is working wonders . tessa : it 's a good thing she could come so fast . nikki : yeah . tessa : why did n't you want me to call an ambulance ? nikki : because the image of me being doubled over in pain , wheeled into the er is not something that i want to get leaked to gc buzz . and it would n't be very good press for the benefit , now , would it ? tessa : guess not . nikki : when you 're a newman , you want to present a certain image to the outside world . but none of this really matters , because it all worked out . i 'm fine . tessa : the doctor said you could have another flare - up . nikki : did you also hear her say that this was most likely due to stress ? tessa : i missed that part . nikki : so , i will just lighten up my rehearsal schedule , and i 'll schedule a spa day . crisis averted . tessa : nikki , the doctor recommended you not perform . nikki : that 's not an option . tessa : sure it is . i 'm sure you know a ton of musicians who 'd be willing to step in at a moment 's notice for such a good cause . nikki : tessa , i told you , i will be healthy enough to perform as scheduled . tessa : what if they find you on the floor of your dressing room like i did earlier ? nikki : all right . you know what ? i am done . i am done with this conversation . we 're not talking about it anymore . nothing can make me not do this concert . tessa : maybe we should tell victor , just in case . nikki : oh , no , no , no , no , no , no , no , no , no ! he is to never know about this . do you hear me ? tessa : sure . nikki : now , this is serious . and unfortunately i find myself in the position of having to trust you . so you must promise me that you will never tell victor about this flare - up . got it ? abby : wo n't scott be busy with the shiny new toy you bought him ? he wo n't be able to stick his nose into my project . victor : so you heard about that , huh ? abby : oh , yeah . of course . he could n't wait to tell me he does n't have to report to me anymore . victor : uh - huh . i still want the two of you to work together , darling . abby : dad , i do n't need his help . i 'm on top of things . victor : you and scott working together is good for business , okay ? abby : oh , really ? so -- so you like when we compete ? victor : you bet . you know why ? it 's good for the bottom line . abby : well , i just figured now that scott 's running hashtag , he 'd be traveling the world again -- it would keep him out of my hair . victor : no , he 's gon na be working from here . abby : great . victor : you 're jealous of him ? abby : what ? [ stammers ] no . god , no . victor : you know , he has great potential . abby : to be annoying and insufferable . victor : no . to be my prodigy . maybe for a future executive position at newman . abby : dad , this is a family company . scott is not family . michael : when you moved to genoa city , you signed a three - year lease on a car ? juliet : that 's correct . michael : do you have student loans ? juliet : i do . michael : credit - card debt ? juliet : i had to charge a lot of things when i moved . relocating from tokyo is expensive . michael : so is making a costly mistake at work . leslie : that 's not a question , michael . please do n't editorialize . michael : noted . you were given a very generous severance package by brash & sassy , were n't you ? juliet : i would n't exactly call it `` generous . `` michael : because it did n't dig you out of the financial hole you got yourself into ? leslie : if this were a formal setting -- michael : moving on to that night in tokyo . when mr. sato finally agreed to the deal , how did the division - manager position come up in conversation ? juliet : i asked cane to put in a good word for me with victoria . michael : and how did he respond ? juliet : he told me he would talk to her on my behalf . michael : were there any caveats to mr. ashby 's offer ? juliet : he said victoria was the boss . it was her call . michael : her call in regards to ... ? juliet : who was hired for the position . michael : oh , so mr. ashby made it perfectly clear that he did not have the power to hire you at brash & sassy ? juliet : yes . michael : does n't that negate your claim that mr. ashby demanded sex for employment -- quid pro quo -- since he did n't have the ability to hire you ? juliet : no , it does n't . without cane 's recommendation , there was no guarantee that victoria would even give me an interview . in order to get a shot , i felt i had to go along with what mr. ashby wanted . and it was perfectly clear what he wanted . i tried to keep things professional , but ... that was not going to happen . michael : what do you mean ? juliet : i discussed my qualifications , even asked for advice on how to approach the interview . but he shut me down . basically said , `` we can talk about the job later . right now , let 's have some fun . `` cane : aaah ! juliet : let 's switch to sake . less potent . [ laughs ] michael : did you talk about the job later ? juliet : yes . after we had sex . abby : dad , i understand it 's important to bring new blood into the company , but that does n't mean they should be in contention for the big chair . especially not scott grainger . he does n't care about business , he does n't care about this company , and you keep giving him chances after i 've proven myself to you over and over and over again . why do you keep making me jump through hoops ? victor : you know i held your siblings to high standards . why would i hand this to you on a silver platter ? you would n't want that , would you ? abby : no , i - i do n't want that . but with me , it feels like you expect more . victor : why do you say that ? abby : because i 'm not just a newman -- because i 'm an abbott , too . dad , you should n't have to question my loyalty . victor : i do n't , sweetheart . but i question your loyalty to jack abbott . abby : why ? victor : because he ca n't be trusted . he 'll insinuate himself into the project without you knowing . abby : he would n't do that to me . victor : oh , yeah , he would . that 's who he is . abby : dad , he knows that that would tear the family apart . he 's focusing on bringing us back together . victor : what , because of that dina mergeron , or what ? abby : yeah , now that she 's back in town , he wants to spend as much time with her as possible . victor : well , good for him .

[ chuckles nervously ] not my level of interest . zack : uh - huh . so , are you down for a third date ? abby : absolutely . michael : you claim you had sex with mr. ashby because you believed it was the only way he would recommend you to victoria . is that your testimony ? juliet : yes . he made it clear -- if i wanted his support , i would have to sleep with him . michael : he used those exact words ? juliet : not verbatim , but the threat was implicit . michael : you were both drunk , were n't you ? three bottles of sake , correct ? i could have the court reporter read over the testimony if -- juliet : no , if that 's what the receipt said , then it must be right . michael : after three bottles of sake , how could you expect any coherent word to come out of cane 's mouth , much less something as explicit as quid pro quo sex ? juliet : i -- [ sighs ] all i can say ... he said it . michael : you drank as much as cane , did n't you ? juliet : yes . michael : would you say you were intoxicated ? juliet : yes . michael : so , if you were also impaired , how could you possibly understand intent much less remember exact words ? juliet : what he proposed was so inappropriate and shocking ... i was stunned . it was like being hit by a thunderbolt . i never expected something like that from cane . time kind of stood still . i will never forget that moment . michael : so , in that moment -- when time stood still -- you sobered up enough to understand everything that happened that night . juliet : yes . exactly . michael : let 's talk about the morning after . before cane took that flight home . you met him for breakfast ? juliet : i did . michael : mm . was it awkward ? juliet : not really . michael : but a little ? juliet : only when he gave me back my earring . michael : your earring ? juliet : it must have fallen off while -- he found it in his bed . michael : do you have any proof ? did anyone witness cane returning this earring to you ? juliet : not that i know of . michael : well , even though you were ashamed of your sexual encounter with cane , you did not hesitate to accept the lesser position offered to you by ms . newman , did you ? juliet : i wanted to work at brash & sassy . i was eager to accept whatever was offered . it was still a good job . michael : were n't you afraid that the sexual harassment that you claim happened in tokyo would continue in genoa city ? juliet : i needed the money . michael : yeah . the money . it always seems to come back to that -- the money -- does n't it ? in fact , there was no sexual encounter , was there ? sex in exchange for a job -- i 'm sorry , a recommendation -- that was your fantasy , designed to get you the payout you so desperately need . is n't that the truth , ms . helton ? sharon : so , zack claims that he and tessa are just acquaintances , but my instincts tell me , seeing them together , there 's more to the story . scott : oh , your instincts , huh ? mm - hmm . sharon : oh , okay . well , you can laugh all you want . but you know what ? i 'm gon na keep digging until i find out what 's really going on . scott : why are you so invested in this ? sharon : because i do n't want my son getting mixed up in their drama . and without any concrete evidence , noah 's not gon na listen to me . scott : is this what all mothers do ? they go defcon 4 when their son starts dating ? sharon : [ laughs ] is that your way of telling me i am being overprotective ? scott : i would never do that . it 's just when there are instincts involved ... well , abby seems to be enjoying his company . but that 's no shock there . since i met him the other day at newman , i knew right off he was her type . sharon : oh , really ? and -- and what is her type ? scott : oh , you know . good - looking . uh , driven . `` alpha male . `` sharon : mm ... i think that 's what he wants everyone to think he is . scott : but you do n't . sharon : i just have a feeling that there 's something more to the guy , and it 's something that he does n't want people to know . abby : you like music . zack : all kinds . abby : you like concerts . zack : the proof is in my closet . a large number of the t - shirts i own come from `` merch `` tables . what are you doing ? abby : i am just inputting some data to test the app . and ... done ! it worked ! this app is amazing . zack : a benefit concert featuring nikki newman ? is n't she your stepmother ? abby : yeah , she is . and my dad 's organizing the event . zack : you want our third date to be a night out with your family ? sorry . abby : you `` decline `` ? !

cane : no . no . juliet 's the one who brought that up . leslie : was she excited about the job ? cane : yes , absolutely . she said she would love to have that job . leslie : and you offered to put in a good word for her ?

cane : no , i did not invite her in . she came in on her own . look , do we have to go over this ? we 've already just gone over this . michael : just stay calm and answer the question . cane : i ca n't calm down , 'cause i 'm not guilty of sexual harassment , 'cause i did n't offer her sex for a job at brash & sassy ! leslie : so you 're saying , for the record , categorically , that you and juliet never had sex in tokyo ? come on ... you can do it . abby : well , the good news is , is that all functions on the app are working -- even the `` decline `` button . so , uh , great job . yeah . i actually have to get back to the office , so , um -- zack : abby , hold up . are -- are you mad at me for not wanting to go to the concert ? abby : of course not . zack : it 's just ... meeting your family for the first time on our third date ? abby : it 's not a date date . it 's work . zack : well , you and i know that , but if you show up to some big fancy party with me -- or with any guy -- do n't you think your family would just assume it 's more than a work thing ? that 's why i turned you down , so you would n't have to spend the whole night explaining who i was . abby : i want to . i want everyone to know that you are the guy that 's gon na make newman a ton of money . zack : [ sighs ] [ cell phone chimes ] abby : `` accept `` ? zack : from what i 've read , your family throws one hell of a party . i 'd be crazy not to see it for myself . sharon : i have known some bad boys in my life , and zack definitely has that vibe . scott : huh . what kind of vibe do i give off ? sharon : mm , let 's see . trustworthy . rugged . scott : oh . sharon : and combustible . scott : `` combustible . `` is that even a trait ? sharon : it is for you . because one smoldering look can bring up all these feelings . and i 'm not the only one who 's affected by it , because i actually saw that happen the other day . scott : oh , and what lucky lady was on the receiving end of this smoldering look ? sharon : abby newman . scott : [ laughs ] hate to break it to you , but , uh , your vibe 's a big ol ' bust on that one . sharon : okay . well , if you say so . seemed to me there was a little heat there . scott : no . what you saw was nothing more than white - hot dislike for each other . sharon : okay , fine . scott : jealous ?

[ scene_break ] craig : when i kissed you the other day , you did n't pull away . you kissed me back . carly : you said you kissed me to put an end to whatever was between us , and that 's exactly the same argument you 're using right now to try to get me to go to bed with you . craig : it 's going to take a lot more than a kiss to end things between us . i mean something to you , carly . i know i do . and this connection between us is not going to go away until we sever it . carly : you 're marrying my sister . you made your choice . the connection is severed , craig . it 's over . craig : no , it is n't . this is an unconventional end to an unconventional relationship . there is no other way for us to let go of each other , and you know it .

[ carly sighs ] jack : is that why rosanna 's still trying to convince herself that craig is a changed man on the night before her wedding ? carly : how do you know that ? jack : i just ran into her in old town . and in the meantime , craig was here , drunk , when he should have been home , waiting for his fiancée . and for some reason , that 's got you a little nervous . what was he doing here ? carly : it 's really none of your business .

[ rosanna laughs ] craig : you want to catch me up ? rosanna : well , so far , the story is about this young , beautiful princess who lost everything and tried to recapture it through the love of a man who swore he 'd changed . craig : i know this one . but you know what ? this man had done some terrible things , and he 'd been turned into an ogre as punishment , but he never lost hope that the beautiful princess ' love would transform him back into a man . rosanna : oh , but there was a catch . the ogre had to pass a series of tests to prove his sincerity . and if he failed one -- just one -- then he would never become a man and he would be banished to the land of nothing forever . craig : of course , he passed these tests with flying colors . rosanna : well , i do n't know . we have n't gotten to that part of the story yet , have we ? craig : no . you mind if i take it from here ? rosanna : oh , yes , go ahead . craig : well , the ogre set out to carry out his tasks with intense determination . but it was hard for him , because he was actually a very weak and very flawed ogre . but no matter how hard the task or how tired he felt , he kept telling himself over and over , `` she loves me . she loves me . she loves me . `` and that gave him the strength to carry on and become the man worthy of the beautiful princess .

[ scene_break ] cristian : i know it 's been a while . and i 'm sorry about that , but a lot has been going on -- a whole lot . i think about you all the time , every day . i miss you , evangeline . you 're the only one , the only one that can set me straight . and i really need that right now . i really messed up .

[ scene_break ] marty : you really think todd stalked blair and tried to stab her to death ? john : i do n't know what to think , but he was in the house . marty : and to think i once lived with that man . the only thing i remember and the thing i 'd most love to forget . i ca n't even remember what kind of soda cole wants . but i remembered loving him . it started when i was living with todd . i could n't remember anything but i felt something . but i did n't trust myself . and then when you rescued me and it sunk in what todd had done to me i just stuffed it down . i did n't think it was enough . so i locked it away where no one could find it , not even my own son . john : you did n't want to get hurt . marty : it became about getting my revenge against todd . john : that 's over now . marty : yeah . do you know what that rage became ? emptiness . i liked it . i liked not feeling anything . a strong drink and a fast ride from a guy that i barely knew . that felt right to me . john : why are you doing this to yourself , hmm ? marty : because i have to . i have to make sense of all this . [ scene_break ] cristian : i married someone i did n't even know because she needed my help -- or i thought she did . but it turned out she was using me . of course , sarah 's gone , which i totally get . she really lit into me , though . she said i used the whole knight in shining armor thing to dump on what we had going . i think she was right . but i ca n't explain why i did the things i did . i do n't know . i think that maybe what i loved about sarah was that she needed my help in some way , just like vanessa . maybe i ca n't commit because part of me will always be here with you . remember when i asked you if i could move on ? well , i want you to know that no matter where i am or who i 'm with , part of me will always be here , waiting , hoping for you to wake up . layla : that 's why you ca n't keep your zipper up , because you 're still hung up on my comatose sister ? give me a break . [ scene_break ] viki : dorian , are the police looking at anyone other than todd ? dorian : i have no idea what the police are doing , if anything . i am doing some investigating on my own . viki : are you ? dorian : yes . did you know that langston 's uncle from colombia had moved into my house shortly before blair was attacked ? his name is ray montez . viki : i know who he is , yeah . dorian : of course you do , of course . because clint is the one who brought him to town , a man who was accused of stabbing his first wife to death . viki : dorian , how did he end up staying at your house ? dorian : because maurice invited him . viki : oh , right . you gave your house to moe and noelle . dorian : the point is , montez had access to blair 's room . he could have easily gone in there . viki : yeah , but why would he try and murder blair ? dorian : because he 's a psychopath who preys on women with a knife . viki : well , from what i 've read , he was falsely convicted . dorian : do you think that i care what some corrupt judge in colombia says ? viki : okay , okay . so you accused him ? i mean , what happened ? dorian : he has an airtight alibi provided by your moe . so i 'm back to square one . happy now ? viki : no , dorian , of course not . i love blair , too . the thing is , if todd did n't do it and this montez fellow did n't -- dorian : whoever did is still out there .

[ scene_break ] marty : you really think todd stalked blair and tried to stab her to death ? john : i do n't know what to think , but he was in the house . marty : and to think i once lived with that man . the only thing i remember and the thing i 'd most love to forget . i ca n't even remember what kind of soda cole wants . but i remembered loving him . it started when i was living with todd . i could n't remember anything but i felt something . but i did n't trust myself . and then when you rescued me and it sunk in what todd had done to me i just stuffed it down . i did n't think it was enough . so i locked it away where no one could find it , not even my own son . john : you did n't want to get hurt . marty : it became about getting my revenge against todd . john : that 's over now . marty : yeah . do you know what that rage became ? emptiness . i liked it . i liked not feeling anything . a strong drink and a fast ride from a guy that i barely knew . that felt right to me . john : why are you doing this to yourself , hmm ? marty : because i have to . i have to make sense of all this . [ scene_break ] cristian : i married someone i did n't even know because she needed my help -- or i thought she did . but it turned out she was using me . of course , sarah 's gone , which i totally get . she really lit into me , though . she said i used the whole knight in shining armor thing to dump on what we had going . i think she was right . but i ca n't explain why i did the things i did . i do n't know . i think that maybe what i loved about sarah was that she needed my help in some way , just like vanessa . maybe i ca n't commit because part of me will always be here with you . remember when i asked you if i could move on ? well , i want you to know that no matter where i am or who i 'm with , part of me will always be here , waiting , hoping for you to wake up . layla : that 's why you ca n't keep your zipper up , because you 're still hung up on my comatose sister ? give me a break . [ scene_break ] viki : dorian , are the police looking at anyone other than todd ? dorian : i have no idea what the police are doing , if anything . i am doing some investigating on my own . viki : are you ? dorian : yes . did you know that langston 's uncle from colombia had moved into my house shortly before blair was attacked ? his name is ray montez . viki : i know who he is , yeah . dorian : of course you do , of course . because clint is the one who brought him to town , a man who was accused of stabbing his first wife to death . viki : dorian , how did he end up staying at your house ? dorian : because maurice invited him . viki : oh , right . you gave your house to moe and noelle . dorian : the point is , montez had access to blair 's room . he could have easily gone in there . viki : yeah , but why would he try and murder blair ? dorian : because he 's a psychopath who preys on women with a knife . viki : well , from what i 've read , he was falsely convicted . dorian : do you think that i care what some corrupt judge in colombia says ? viki : okay , okay . so you accused him ? i mean , what happened ? dorian : he has an airtight alibi provided by your moe . so i 'm back to square one . happy now ? viki : no , dorian , of course not . i love blair , too . the thing is , if todd did n't do it and this montez fellow did n't -- dorian : whoever did is still out there .

[ scene_break ] todd : listen , i do n't know what kind of day you 're having , or i do n't know what 's gotten into you , but i did n't sneak into blair 's bathroom and go all psycho on her in the shower . now , lee halpern who popped up wearing a wire and threatened to ruin my life , or wes granger , who tackled me and held a knife to my throat -- now , those cats i could have stabbed easily and slept well at night . but i would never hurt blair in a million years . téa : oh god , you 've hurt her a million different times . todd : no , i mean i would never stab her . she 's the mother of my children , for god 's sake . téa : even if she told you that you could never see them again ? todd : yes , even then . i just -- i ca n't imagine my life without blair , period . téa : you two fight like cats and dogs . todd : yeah , that 's how we communicate . it does n't mean that i do n't -- téa : love her ? you 're still -- you 're still in love with her , are n't you ? todd : you 're not listening to me , téa . it 's about the kids . téa : no , it 's about you and the way you feel about her . even after everything that 's happened between you and blair , you still love her and you always will .

'cause it really wasn't . unless you 're counting on never riding another elevator with me ever again . sharon : whatcha watching ? mariah : oh , uh , watching tessa be brilliant and funny and adorable . tessa : mariah snuck a videographer into kyle and lola 's pre - wedding party -- the co - ed thing . mariah : yeah . and i should have said that it was co - ed from the beginning . it would have made it a lot less awkward for some of my guests . sharon : it 's okay . i 've recovered from the shock of walking smack into rey . tessa : mariah really did feel terrible . mariah : i did . sharon : we all recovered . it 's okay . now , tell me about this video . mariah : well , uh , a cameraman from `` gc buzz `` did me a favor . tessa : he , uh , recorded my song for kyle and lola . sharon : that 's a really lovely gift , mariah . tessa : yeah . mariah : i mean , tessa 's song was the ultimate present . but i just thought i 'd kick in a bonus of them being able to re - live the memory whenever they want . tessa : you are so sweet , you know that ? and thoughtful . and romantic . mariah : or maybe i 'm just making up for my other hosting failures . sharon : [ scoffs ] it 's okay . you can stop . i forgive you . i was n't even mad when i left the party . i mean , not at you . mariah : thank god . and i give you my word -- nothing like that is ever going to happen again . i promise . sharon : okay , good . now , if you 'll excuse me , i have some caffeine addicts waiting for me on the patio . mariah : heh . additional sponsorship rey : hi .

[ scoffs ] have you heard what , uh , went down between mom and lola ? sharon : some of it , yeah . celeste might not end up going to the wedding . that would be a real shame for everyone . rey : yeah . lola and i have both left messages . jack abbott is trying to get her to come back . sharon : are you serious ? jack went to miami ? rey : yeah . father of the groom is trying to talk some sense into the mother of the bride . i do n't think he knows what he 's walking into . sharon : well , jack can be very persuasive . and clearly he would do anything for kyle . rey : yeah . looks like kyle would do anything for lola . sharon : are you really surprised ? i mean , i know you did n't always trust him in the past . rey : i miss those days . i mean ... you know , when i hated the guy . it was -- it was cleaner . [ sighs ] sharon : you do n't mean that . rey : okay , yeah , maybe not . but still . the risk that lola 's taking . not with kyle , but with -- with marriage . any relationship , really . sharon : you might end up with a broken heart . rey : the thought of lola going through something like that ... sharon : but maybe she won't . rey : yeah . come on . how couples you know who make it ... 50 years ? or 20 ? even -- even 10 ? sharon : i believe in forever . i believe in promises kept . rey : even now ? sharon : yeah . i have to . it comes with the territory . because i believe in love . kyle : this is me going . [ grunts ] lola : [ sighs ] already ? it 's still early . kyle : i have some last - minute details to take care of . lola : what ? like errands ? because i can run them with you . you know , divide and conquer . get it all done in half the time . kyle : i would love that . but you ca n't come . lola : [ grunts ] wait ! is it ... wedding - related ? like , food or decor ? because , i mean [ scoffs ] i can really help . kyle : mm - hmm . you think i 'm gon na break now ? spill all the details ? lola : well , maybe if i look up at you like this ... kyle : phew ... i will avoid eye contact . lola : then i 'll resort to other methods . kyle : come on ! we got this . [ sighs ] we had practice waiting . lola : low blow . kyle : i did n't mean that . i waited a lot of years to meet you . it was torture . lola : mm . poor baby . we have the rest of our lives . does that help ? kyle : you have no idea how much . i really am going . lola : [ sighs ] are you sure you have to go ? i mean , we could put a curtain in the middle of the bedroom . kyle : what 's wrong ? is this about your mother ? lola : kyle , she wo n't come . no matter what jack says . but i really do love him for trying . kyle : do n't count my dad out just yet . is that the only thing bothering you ? lola : feels like enough . kyle : hey , hey . how 'bout this -- i 'll call you as soon as i get to the pool house . we can stay on as long as you want . sleep with the phone line open . lola : no . no , no , no . [ sighs ] you go . i can manage one night without you . i mean it . kyle : [ sighs ] the next time i see you , it 'll be at the end of an aisle . lola : [ snorts softly ] well , i 'll wave . you know , just in case you forget my face by then . kyle : i wo n't forget . i 'll never forget . i 'm going . lola : mm - hmm . yes , please . kyle : [ chuckles ] i 'm going ... now ... mm ! um ... i love you , lola rosales . lola : i love you , kyle abbott . [ sighs ] theo : look at you , all tough and threatening . i kind of like it . summer : okay , this is not foreplay , theo . why are you making it seem like something awful happened in new york ? meaning something more than just , i do n't know , a ridiculous bar tab and an endless string of women ? theo : you do n't want to know . summer : oh , my god . yes , i do want to know . i am not lola , okay ? there is pretty much nothing that you can say that will shock me . but you know what , i do n't know . maybe this is your version of a power trip . you hold onto this secret so tight so you can jerk kyle and me around . and at first , it was entertaining and a little cute , but now it 's just really annoying . theo : okay , well , let me find some other way to keep your attention , hm ? summer : you know what , maybe i 'll just figure out your secret some other way , and find a way to use it against you . does that sound like fun ? 'cause i think it does . theo : you 're not gon na let this go . summer : now you 're catching on . theo : okay . one stroll down memory lane coming up . rey : i think what sent lola over the edge was mom going back to our dad . he 's this old - school charmer . always finds a way in with -- with a smile , a compliment . sharon : all of this because your mother has a weakness for her ex ? rey : yeah , our family does n't have the best track record of picking mates . that was n't meant to be a dig . sharon : no , i know . but thank you for clarifying . sharon : lola is gon na be a beautiful bride . and tomorrow will be a day you 'll never forget . nothing else will matter . just love and hope . mariah : here comes the bride . tessa : why are you out ? lola : i have all this energy . mariah : are you okay ? lola : yeah . basically . i mean , yeah . no . no , i do n't think so . tessa : wow ! is it nerves ? lola : [ sighs ] tessa : wow , that 's a real thing -- pre - wedding jitters . mariah : which is normal . it 's totally normal . tessa : oh , yeah , no . it 's just surprising , because you 're , like , the most confident and calm person i know . lola : okay , tessa , i am ... [ sighs ] i was up until an hour ago . mariah : okay , sit and -- and talk . tell us things . please . lola : the party was so beautiful and sweet . and [ sighs ] tessa , that song ... it was really perfect . but then ... mariah : summer and abby , theo and kyle . lola : guys , the event before my wedding , and four people want to murder each other . mariah : no , no . they did n't want to murder each other . they ... just wanted to maim each other slightly . lola : and how is that not an omen ? mariah : an omen of what ? lola : drama . chaos . doom ! tessa : okay , this took a turn . mariah : look , heh ... theo and summer , they are the king and queen of the drama prom . that has nothing to do with you and kyle . lola : how is that not a sign ? mariah : no , it 's not a sign . it 's an excuse . for you to not focus on what tomorrow is really about . lola : well , tomorrow is about -- tessa : marrying the love of your life . lola : no , it 's the part about where you turn from a girlfriend into a wife . look , i was the smart aleck who smack - talked kyle when he was being an obnoxious customer ... and now i 'm not her . mariah : okay . i think i 'm -- i 'm getting it . so , you 've changed . and you 're getting married . and kyle is n't gon na like the new you . lola : you see ? she sees it , too . tessa : no , no . that 's not what she was saying . mariah : no . l - listen , lola . listen . are you listening ? lola : yeah . mariah : i think you 're going a little crazy . lola : [ sighs ] tessa : just a little . theo : it 's no secret kyle and i had wild times in the city . summer : yeah , wild by new york standards , not genoa city , right ? theo : well , we knew when to reel it back in . usually . no major laws broken , as a rule . summer : okay , so you 're telling me that there was an exception to the `` try not to get arrested `` rule ? theo : well , there was one night . summer : finally . theo : well , trust me , the last thing we were looking to do was break the law . summer : okay . i guess i believe that . it does kind of ruin a good time by getting arrested and booked . theo : yeah . there was a girl . zoe hardisty . party girl . always around . cute . blonde . looked a lot like you . summer : all right . go on . theo : kyle and i throw a party . somehow , she hears about it . shows up . gets wasted . like , go - to - the - er drunk . summer : oh , wait , you mean like literally go to the er ? theo : well , she could n't exactly get there on her own . summer : okay , so who took her ? kyle : [ grunting ] all right . easy , easy ! get her in . pull her . theo : [ grunts ] i got her . kyle : all right . there we go . here , sit her up . i 'll get in back here . [ grunts ] oh ! oh , okay . hey . hey . hey , hey . can you hear me ? we 're gon na get you some help , okay ? can you drive already ? ! theo : you have her purse ? they 'll want some i d at the er . insurance , whatever . kyle : yeah . hey , hey ! this way . you stay here . okay . um ... yeah , i got it . i got it , i got it . oh , god . theo : what ? what , is she puking ? lean her head out the door . kyle : she 's 17 . theo : no . no , no ! [ stammers ] i mean , look at her ! she 's 22 at least . kyle : she 's underage . and she got loaded at our party . it 's gon na be okay . theo : what the hell do we do now ? summer : well ? what did you do ? sharon : oh ! lola 's in there . rey : what ? does she look okay ? sharon : she 's just talking to the girls . probably some pre - wedding jitters . rey : well , is that -- is that -- is that a bad sign ? sharon : [ chuckles ] look at you , going into big - brother mode . rey : should i go check in on her ? sharon : oh , only if you want her to think you 're hovering . just let her do what she has to do , rey . i mean , i 'm sorry . you -- you know your sister best . rey : yeah . sharon : if you think you should go to her ... rey : oh , no , no , no . she 'd drop - kick me . you 're right . thank you for holding me back . sharon : so , you ready for tomorrow ? rey : [ inhales ] yeah . got my speech in my head . my suit picked out . as well as my own pre - wedding jitters . that is my little sister , and i am giving her away . sharon : she 'll always be your sister . and you 're going to be wonderful tomorrow . i 'll have mariah send me some pictures , and some video . rey : [ snorts softly ] this -- this was n't the plan . you were supposed to be there . with me . [ sighs ] i thought things were gon na be different . sharon : i did , too . but i 'm working hard to understand myself . because ... sometimes i look at my life , and i do n't know how i got here . rey : i know the feeling . kyle : heh ... hey , thanks , guys . this is great . i 'll see you all tomorrow . [ sighs ] [ chuckles quietly ] mariah : tomorrow , when you wake up -- tessa : next to the person you love . mariah : ... you will still be you . you 're not gon na be a brand - new you . you will be the same person that you were the day before . which is to say , slightly different . mariah : you just said -- mariah : ah , you -- you 're changing . we all are . constantly . all the time . tessa : change is growth . and i know it can hurt . and it can be scary and tense , and you never really know what 's around the corner , but ... you have someone to hold your hand and take the future head - on . i mean , how -- how amazing is that ? does n't it feel like a miracle sometimes ? lola : what if i had n't parked my food truck in front of jabot ? what if i had n't met kyle ? tessa : no , see , that 's what fate looks like . and , yes , i do believe in fate . mariah : [ scoffs ] tessa : i believe in the energy of cosmic spears guiding us where we need to be . you were always gon na park your truck where you did . and kyle was always gon na see your face and fall madly in love with you . lola : okay , so this is what people do , right ? they get nervous before their wedding . they worry . mariah : you know , i generally do n't care about most people . tessa : this is true . [ laughter ] mariah : but i do care about you . and there 's probably some voice in your head right now saying , `` i 'm in love , and this is great and wonderful , and everything is sunshine and roses . something must be wrong . `` and , to be fair , there 's not a second of your courtship that has been drama - free . lola : yeah , that is very true . mariah : i think it might be time to face it -- some things just happen to be perfect . for real . lola : i like the sound of that . perfect . heh . summer : you guys are insane ! look , i get it that things can get messy at a party , but having an underage girl passed out in the back seat is not messy . that 's -- that 's a disaster , theo . theo : let me be very clear -- there was no contact . none . summer : okay , but she was still blacked out on your booze . what did you guys even do ? theo : [ sighs ] kyle : she needs her stomach pumped or something . theo : okay , so we 're -- we 're agreed -- the er . kyle : yeah . and they 'll want to know how much she drank . theo : i was n't tending bar . a - and we wo n't be there to answer any questions . kyle : whoa , whoa , whoa . we 're just gon na dump her ? theo : she needs medical assistance . that 's not us . you want to take the fall for this ? because i 'm not interested . kyle : yeah . fine , fine . just ... we 'll leave her . we -- just -- just drive , already ! summer : man , that is cold . look , good for you guys for getting out of a jam while still being able to help her , but still . i mean , that 's ... that 's cold . theo : there 's more . summer : she didn't ... ? theo : what ? no , she was fine . i assume . summer : oh , my god . theo : but the next day , some guys shows up , banging on the door . says he 's zoe 's father , and he 's gon na have us arrested for endangering a minor , because it was our party and our open bar . summer : oh , my god . theo : i freaked out . but kyle ? he was the man . he knew just what to do . `` the young and the restless `` will continue . summer : okay , so , you guys did n't do any jail time , so kyle must have talked the dad down . theo : talk ? no . he did crack open his trust fund and hand over $ 100k . then everything went away . like it never happened . summer : okay , i 'm sorry . so , the dad took a payoff after his daughter could have died ? that is so sleazy . theo : and then life went semi back to normal . kyle and i toned it down a little , started keeping an eye on the guest lists , you know , checking ids when we had to . and kyle left new york . came back to be the golden boy of genoa city . or at least fake it . like new york was a distant memory . summer : [ scoffs ] okay , uh , let me be really clear about something here -- kyle saved your backside . theo : he saved both of our asses , yes . summer : and he made it all go away . theo : absolutely . summer : okay , and you 're -- and you 're sitting here holding a grudge because you did n't go to jail ? theo : no . he treats me like garbage , and i 'm the guy 's only real friend . summer : oh , yeah . totally , right ? besties . especially after that time that you spilled all of his business to lola 's mom . that was really friendly of you . theo : okay . my bad on that one . but i - it 's still all a part of the same thing . i mean , kyle walks through life pretending like the past never happened , acting like someone he 's not . i mean ... i 'm the only one keeping him honest . summer : yeah , you 're trying to make him look bad . theo : how -- how is the truth an attack ? i 'm not concocting lies . i 'm honest about everything that i 've done . and that 's the difference between us -- kyle 's trying to erase his whole past . summer : no , he 's just trying to erase you , right ? i mean , that must be what you think . that must be why you 're so pissed off at him . theo : we went through war together . summer : oh , my -- you partied . theo : kyle and i made the exact same choices . you know , not all of them good . so him acting all white knight and pure of heart , it gets old . i mean , dead to him ? give me a break . summer : okay , yeah , when you threaten his relationship , he has the right to get protective , theo . theo : his relationship ? you 're making excuses for a guy who literally promised to love and honor you just to get you into a hospital bed . summer : okay , look , i get it . i was there . i lived through it . i know . but then we moved on . like adults . and i really think that you should try it . theo : you know , you -- you just like that kyle fixated on women that reminded him of you . summer : [ scoffs ] well , this was fun . we 're done here . lola : well , this was good . mariah : we just gave our first premarital pep talk . lola : well , if things get crazy and i forget -- and crazy in a good way , and we 're eating cake and dancing -- tessa : oh , yeah . that 's what i 'm there for . lola : [ laughs ] i love you guys . tessa : oh , lola . lola : you know , coming into genoa city , it changed my life . i found kyle . i got a new career . and i got a new family . and i 'm not just talking about the abbotts . i 'm talking about you guys , too . you know , and i really miss my mom , and i ca n't even think about my dad right now , but what i know is that , tomorrow , there will be people who i love , and who love me , and that 's what 's important . so ... tessa : [ tearfully ] okay , stop . mariah : yeah , you 're gon na make me cry . tessa : she hates to cry . mariah : i really hate to cry . [ sniffles ] lola : okay , fine . i am done . mariah : yeah . lola : uh , so , i 'll -- i 'll leave now . i guess i 'll see you tomorrow . tessa : wait , stop ! mariah : we love you , too . lola : [ sighs ] mariah : [ chuckles ] summer : [ exhales heavily ] [ clears throat ] hey . looking good , abbott . kyle : i - i am not obsessing on chair placement . summer : oh , no . not at all . just making adjustments . kyle : very minor adjustments . summer : yeah ... 'cause you want it to look perfect for the woman of your dreams , right ? kyle : yeah . summer : look , i really am happy for you both . and i know that that might not sound convincing , um , but ... i am . kyle : yeah , well ... it might be weird for you tomorrow . summer : super weird . kyle : i hope that does n't make you stay away . lola wants you there . so do i . summer : as the life - saver . kyle : and as the lifelong friend . summer : i 'll be there . kyle : but maybe not with theo as your plus one ? summer : not an issue . okay . now , please , get back to , uh , your adjusting . kyle : heh ... i got to stop . summer : yeah . kyle : i got to stop . summer : you really do . 'cause it -- it looks perfect , kyle . kyle : thanks . summer : uh , kyle ... um ... kyle : yeah ? summer : about theo ... kyle : still not invited . summer : no , i know that . um ... i think that he might have some anger issues . kyle : and he 's a jerk . summer : well , yeah . that , too . um ... i just think that maybe you should watch your back . he has n't said anything . i just do n't really trust the guy . kyle : yeah . i 'm right there with you . summer : okay . just wanted you to know . kyle : thank you . summer : well , break a leg tomorrow . or just good luck . kyle : let 's go with that one . summer : yeah . kyle : [ chuckles ] summer : yeah . you and lola really are meant for each other . mariah : okay , just one more ? tessa : [ groans ] mariah : please ? one more time . tessa : okay . mariah : please ? tessa : ugh , i 'm such a dork . mariah : [ laughs ] theo : looking good . can i have a listen ? mariah : it 's a private moment , so that 's a no . theo : i was thinking we could put it on the lp site . tessa : well , it 's a special song for kyle and lola , so ... mariah : a sweet , funny , very private song that would n't mean anything to a stranger . so i 'm thinking you 're not as good at this as you think you are . theo : well , the personal always goes public eventually . tessa : why does that sound like a threat ? mariah : because it sounds like the other night . your garbage toast to kyle ? it was all about getting a rise out of him . theo : i went to that party to make things right . you know , i miss the guy . part of the reason i moved to genoa city is i figured we 'd get the chance to hang out . but it did n't work out as i planned . tessa : so you trashed their celebration ? mariah : better that than the wedding . [ inhales sharply ] you know ... i have a feeling that new york really misses you . maybe you guys should reconnect . lola : [ laughs ] wow ! kyle : you ca n't be here ! lola : i know , but i am . kyle : why ? i - i mean , why did you come this way ? why ... lola : i was home , and then i was walking ... [ laughs ] and then ... kyle : here . to the wedding site ? lola : i know i should n't be here . i 'm sorry . i really am . but wow ! i mean , this is perfect , kyle . it 's like you read inside my head and my heart and ... you made my dreams come true . kyle : [ snorts softly ] is it too late to tell you to close your eyes ? lola : i really am sorry . kyle : [ sighs ] you do n't have to keep saying that . lola : well , good , because i 'm not sure that i really mean it . seeing this [ sighs ] here [ laughs ] now , no one else , just you . kyle : and you . that part is key . lola : i should probably go . kyle : no , no . not now . you have to stay . so if i ask you to stay lola : [ laughs ] what ? ! would you say yes ? lola : so , maybe i did know where i was going , after all . would you say yes ? and if i aim for your lips , would you say yes ? say yes sharon : lola and the girls are gone , so the coast is clear . rey : uh ... sharon : i can get you something else . rey : i should head out . sharon : right . yeah . oh , do n't you even dare do that . it 's on the house . god ... rey : what ? what 's wrong ? sharon : i - i almost forgot . it 's been so long .

[ sighs ] [ chuckles quietly ] mariah : tomorrow , when you wake up -- tessa : next to the person you love . mariah : ... you will still be you . you 're not gon na be a brand - new you . you will be the same person that you were the day before . which is to say , slightly different . mariah : you just said -- mariah : ah , you -- you 're changing . we all are . constantly . all the time . tessa : change is growth . and i know it can hurt . and it can be scary and tense , and you never really know what 's around the corner , but ... you have someone to hold your hand and take the future head - on . i mean , how -- how amazing is that ? does n't it feel like a miracle sometimes ? lola : what if i had n't parked my food truck in front of jabot ? what if i had n't met kyle ? tessa : no , see , that 's what fate looks like . and , yes , i do believe in fate . mariah : [ scoffs ] tessa : i believe in the energy of cosmic spears guiding us where we need to be . you were always gon na park your truck where you did . and kyle was always gon na see your face and fall madly in love with you . lola : okay , so this is what people do , right ? they get nervous before their wedding . they worry . mariah : you know , i generally do n't care about most people . tessa : this is true . [ laughter ] mariah : but i do care about you . and there 's probably some voice in your head right now saying , `` i 'm in love , and this is great and wonderful , and everything is sunshine and roses . something must be wrong . `` and , to be fair , there 's not a second of your courtship that has been drama - free . lola : yeah , that is very true . mariah : i think it might be time to face it -- some things just happen to be perfect . for real . lola : i like the sound of that . perfect . heh . summer : you guys are insane ! look , i get it that things can get messy at a party , but having an underage girl passed out in the back seat is not messy . that 's -- that 's a disaster , theo . theo : let me be very clear -- there was no contact . none . summer : okay , but she was still blacked out on your booze . what did you guys even do ? theo : [ sighs ] kyle : she needs her stomach pumped or something . theo : okay , so we 're -- we 're agreed -- the er . kyle : yeah . and they 'll want to know how much she drank . theo : i was n't tending bar . a - and we wo n't be there to answer any questions . kyle : whoa , whoa , whoa . we 're just gon na dump her ? theo : she needs medical assistance . that 's not us . you want to take the fall for this ? because i 'm not interested . kyle : yeah . fine , fine . just ... we 'll leave her . we -- just -- just drive , already ! summer : man , that is cold . look , good for you guys for getting out of a jam while still being able to help her , but still . i mean , that 's ... that 's cold . theo : there 's more . summer : she didn't ... ? theo : what ? no , she was fine . i assume . summer : oh , my god . theo : but the next day , some guys shows up , banging on the door . says he 's zoe 's father , and he 's gon na have us arrested for endangering a minor , because it was our party and our open bar . summer : oh , my god . theo : i freaked out . but kyle ? he was the man . he knew just what to do . `` the young and the restless `` will continue . summer : okay , so , you guys did n't do any jail time , so kyle must have talked the dad down . theo : talk ? no . he did crack open his trust fund and hand over $ 100k . then everything went away . like it never happened . summer : okay , i 'm sorry . so , the dad took a payoff after his daughter could have died ? that is so sleazy . theo : and then life went semi back to normal . kyle and i toned it down a little , started keeping an eye on the guest lists , you know , checking ids when we had to . and kyle left new york . came back to be the golden boy of genoa city . or at least fake it . like new york was a distant memory . summer : [ scoffs ] okay , uh , let me be really clear about something here -- kyle saved your backside . theo : he saved both of our asses , yes . summer : and he made it all go away . theo : absolutely . summer : okay , and you 're -- and you 're sitting here holding a grudge because you did n't go to jail ? theo : no . he treats me like garbage , and i 'm the guy 's only real friend . summer : oh , yeah . totally , right ? besties . especially after that time that you spilled all of his business to lola 's mom . that was really friendly of you . theo : okay . my bad on that one . but i - it 's still all a part of the same thing . i mean , kyle walks through life pretending like the past never happened , acting like someone he 's not . i mean ... i 'm the only one keeping him honest . summer : yeah , you 're trying to make him look bad . theo : how -- how is the truth an attack ? i 'm not concocting lies . i 'm honest about everything that i 've done . and that 's the difference between us -- kyle 's trying to erase his whole past . summer : no , he 's just trying to erase you , right ? i mean , that must be what you think . that must be why you 're so pissed off at him . theo : we went through war together . summer : oh , my -- you partied . theo : kyle and i made the exact same choices . you know , not all of them good . so him acting all white knight and pure of heart , it gets old . i mean , dead to him ? give me a break . summer : okay , yeah , when you threaten his relationship , he has the right to get protective , theo . theo : his relationship ? you 're making excuses for a guy who literally promised to love and honor you just to get you into a hospital bed . summer : okay , look , i get it . i was there . i lived through it . i know . but then we moved on . like adults . and i really think that you should try it . theo : you know , you -- you just like that kyle fixated on women that reminded him of you . summer : [ scoffs ] well , this was fun . we 're done here . lola : well , this was good . mariah : we just gave our first premarital pep talk . lola : well , if things get crazy and i forget -- and crazy in a good way , and we 're eating cake and dancing -- tessa : oh , yeah . that 's what i 'm there for . lola : [ laughs ] i love you guys . tessa : oh , lola . lola : you know , coming into genoa city , it changed my life . i found kyle . i got a new career . and i got a new family . and i 'm not just talking about the abbotts . i 'm talking about you guys , too . you know , and i really miss my mom , and i ca n't even think about my dad right now , but what i know is that , tomorrow , there will be people who i love , and who love me , and that 's what 's important . so ... tessa : [ tearfully ] okay , stop . mariah : yeah , you 're gon na make me cry . tessa : she hates to cry . mariah : i really hate to cry . [ sniffles ] lola : okay , fine . i am done . mariah : yeah . lola : uh , so , i 'll -- i 'll leave now . i guess i 'll see you tomorrow . tessa : wait , stop ! mariah : we love you , too . lola : [ sighs ] mariah : [ chuckles ] summer : [ exhales heavily ] [ clears throat ] hey . looking good , abbott . kyle : i - i am not obsessing on chair placement . summer : oh , no . not at all . just making adjustments . kyle : very minor adjustments . summer : yeah ... 'cause you want it to look perfect for the woman of your dreams , right ? kyle : yeah . summer : look , i really am happy for you both . and i know that that might not sound convincing , um , but ... i am . kyle : yeah , well ... it might be weird for you tomorrow . summer : super weird . kyle : i hope that does n't make you stay away . lola wants you there . so do i . summer : as the life - saver . kyle : and as the lifelong friend . summer : i 'll be there . kyle : but maybe not with theo as your plus one ? summer : not an issue . okay . now , please , get back to , uh , your adjusting . kyle : heh ... i got to stop . summer : yeah . kyle : i got to stop . summer : you really do . 'cause it -- it looks perfect , kyle . kyle : thanks . summer : uh , kyle ... um ... kyle : yeah ? summer : about theo ... kyle : still not invited . summer : no , i know that . um ... i think that he might have some anger issues . kyle : and he 's a jerk . summer : well , yeah . that , too . um ... i just think that maybe you should watch your back . he has n't said anything . i just do n't really trust the guy . kyle : yeah . i 'm right there with you . summer : okay . just wanted you to know . kyle : thank you . summer : well , break a leg tomorrow . or just good luck . kyle : let 's go with that one . summer : yeah . kyle : [ chuckles ] summer : yeah . you and lola really are meant for each other . mariah : okay , just one more ? tessa : [ groans ] mariah : please ? one more time . tessa : okay . mariah : please ? tessa : ugh , i 'm such a dork . mariah : [ laughs ] theo : looking good . can i have a listen ? mariah : it 's a private moment , so that 's a no . theo : i was thinking we could put it on the lp site . tessa : well , it 's a special song for kyle and lola , so ... mariah : a sweet , funny , very private song that would n't mean anything to a stranger . so i 'm thinking you 're not as good at this as you think you are . theo : well , the personal always goes public eventually . tessa : why does that sound like a threat ? mariah : because it sounds like the other night . your garbage toast to kyle ? it was all about getting a rise out of him . theo : i went to that party to make things right . you know , i miss the guy . part of the reason i moved to genoa city is i figured we 'd get the chance to hang out . but it did n't work out as i planned . tessa : so you trashed their celebration ? mariah : better that than the wedding .

[ jack remembering carly 's red skimpy outfit ] katie : you almost caught her at the club yourself , that same night . remember ? you got the call about the disturbance ? you and nick almost fought outside ? i mean , carly was lucky that you did n't catch her . jack : wait a minute , do you want me to believe that my wife would leave our kids at home at night to serve drinks at some sleazy strip club ? no , no way , katie . katie : that was probably the hardest part . keeping the sitter without you knowing . i mean , nick even said that the sitter called one night saying that her own son was sick and carly had to rush home . [ jack remembering ] carly : jack , i was so worried about will and gwen that i just could n't help it . i had to go and look for them . jack : you just decided to as nick to give you a hand ? is that it ? carly : no . no , of course not . the car broke down and nick happened by .

sharon : yeah , i 'd be happy to . as long as nick 's okay with it . it is his day with faith . nikki : no , i know . but i 'm sure that he will be fine with this . now , i really have to go . sharon : is something wrong ?

noah : dad , maybe we should n't get into this right -- nick : you have me mistaken for someone else . if you want to see that guy , there 's a mirror in the men 's room . victor : i 'm here to help my grandson . noah : and you have , grandpa . without the liquor license , we 'd be screwed . now we can open up the new club in ann arbor and move forward with our plans . victor : glad to hear that . just remember , without this liquor license , your investment would have been for naught . you still have a lot to learn , son . billy : that is what you call a crummy day . victoria : michael said there is no action that i can take legally . reed thinks that i am a mean mom . i had no idea when i left here what a minefield i 'd be walking into . billy : and all of this because of cane ? that guy is -- victoria : oh , please , i do n't want to talk about that guy anymore . billy : all right . well , then , let me regale you with my `` delightful `` day . victoria : all right . what happened ? billy : i danced around a minefield of my own while you were out , with phyllis . she casually mentioned that jack thinks that you planted a spy upstairs to get intel on jabot . victoria : casual my eye . does phyllis suspect that you used her computer to access the server ? phyllis : okay , so , this is what we 're dealing with . a handful of people knew jack 's plan , and yet billy and victoria figured out exactly what he was contemplating , which was to get brash & sassy products off the fenmore 's shelves and somehow replace it with parker beauty . ravi : [ sighs ] yeah , when they both came up here and confronted ashley , it definitely seemed like an inspired guess . phyllis : no , they had to have known . okay , how else does someone jump from `` jack 's out to get me `` to that kind of detail ? so either we have a mole planted right here , or somebody said something that they should n't have , and a rumor started . ravi : yeah . both plausible scenarios . phyllis : yeah , i know . but that was not just to get us to back off . brash & sassy implemented a counterattack . they somehow post a huge spike in sales at fenmore 's , and only there . ravi : i got a feeling you are not gon na let this lie , are you ? phyllis : you 're damn right . i need to know how they got their hands on that private information . and you 're just the man to help me to do it . jack : if you ever want to step away from the family business , you could make quite a living as a private investigator . ashley : you think ? jack : you managed to get graham 's h.r . file from mergeron . you know what 's every bit as intriguing as it is disturbing ? how many times he applied for a job at mergeron and failed . boy , talk about determination . ashley : you do n't even know the half of it . jack : oh ? ashley : yeah . just ask me , jack . ask me how graham managed to get a position in the executive suite . jack : i 'm asking . ashley : apparently he met mother at a social event , and impressed her so much that within a week , she 'd hired him despite his lack of qualifications . i 'd call that quite a coincidence , would n't you ? jack : yeah , seems a lot like stalking . ashley : yes . jack : mixed with emotional manipulation . ashley : i think that he targeted her from the very first day . jack : but why her ? why not any other wealthy woman he could attach himself to ? why mother ? ashley : well , that 's what we need to find out . additional sponsorship jack : well , i 'm with you . i want to know graham 's motives for seeking our mother out . i find his behavior toward her disturbing . ashley : you know he 's gon na deny everything . jack : of course he is . he 's gon na say that she filled a huge void in his life , never mind the job , or the estate he would inherit . all the while , he 's counting the days until he inherits her millions . ashley : i wish we knew more about his background . jack : well , mother enlightened me a bit on those subjects . ashley : what 'd she say ? jack : apparently our friend graham had quite a tough life . ashley : well , i knew that . cue the violins . jack : did you also know that his father left him and his mother at a very young age , penniless ? that at one point they were on the streets ? ashley : well , he conveniently left that part out of our conversation . jack : okay , so , obviously you know both his parents are dead . so he was alone in the world when he found dina , and found a new family . ashley : he zeroed in on her for some unknown reason . jack : look , mother was very emotional about this . she thought we were being unfair to graham . she asked that we be more supportive , less judgmental about a man who 's only been affectionate toward her . ashley : god , she is going to be so disappointed . [ knock on door ] jack : come in ! mother ! what a nice surprise . i was starting to worry that you might not come back . dina : well , i was n't so sure that i 'd even be welcome . you both were so incensed when i showed my report to graham . jack : well , hopefully , with a little reflection , you can understand our concerns . we work in a very competitive environment . we ca n't be too careful with confidential material . ashley : and i 'm sure you ran mergeron very much the same way , mother . jack : mother , i know you 're taking a lot of this personally . i 'm asking you to look at it as a businesswoman . as c.e.o . of this company , i have to look at anyone outside of jabot as a potential enemy . ashley : it 's the only smart thing to do . jack : the last time we spoke , i told you if you wanted to work here , you were gon na have to do it without any involvement on graham 's part . i never really got an answer from you , so i do n't know where you stand . i 'm asking you again . can you live with my terms ? victor : when you find your next club , just make sure you grandfather in this kind of liquor license during the sale , okay ? that way you avoid the problems you had now . nick : yes . of course . if that is an option . this time , it wasn't . noah : dad knows what he 's doing , grandpa . victor : drinking establishments are not the same as coffeehouses . and guys who sit on these boards in other states prefer people who have a track record . nick : the underground has been successful for years . my track record is solid . and i believe it will speak for itself when the time comes . victor : you believe whatever you want . but if you want to be successful in business in the long run , you got to cultivate some connections , son . nick : ah , yes . grease the right palms . see , i do n't follow your version of the rules to get ahead . victor : you 're naive , son . that 's how the real world works . noah : thank you , grandpa . really . i 'll keep you posted on our progress . victor : need anything in the future , my boy , call me , all right ? noah : yeah . victor : some issues might crop up unexpectedly . billy : our secret is safe . not to worry . victoria : how can you be sure ? billy : because if phyllis thought that i was using her computer to get information on jabot , she would let me have it . victoria : okay . but even if she does n't suspect you now , that does n't mean that this is over with . because jack is not gon na drop this . billy : jack is not thinking about a computer scenario , okay ? he thinks that we planted somebody upstairs to feed us information . victoria : all right . we just have to be very careful . billy : yes . going forward , i will . you have my word . victoria : are you saying that you 're willing to risk signing onto phyllis ' computer again ? because i do n't want this to backfire on you , billy . billy : it 's not gon na backfire , victoria . trust me . phyllis : it 's a simple request to help your company . why would you hesitate ? ravi : [ sighs ] corporate espionage seems so far - fetched to me . phyllis : not when a newman 's involved . ravi : this was much more likely a careless mistake . a slip of the tongue . i mean , you and billy live together . is n't it possible that you inadvertently -- phyllis : no . not a chance . [ ravi sighs ] this is one battle where i am on jabot 's side . and i am trusting you , as my friend , not to repeat that . ravi : i won't . i just do n't get it . billy loves his job at brash & sassy . do n't you support him ? phyllis : with all my heart . it 's one of the reasons why i want them to lose . billy is devoted to brash & sassy . and to its c.e.o . and , that said , i have a feeling that victoria is trying to pull something shady , and i need your help to get to the bottom of this . there is a leak , and i need to stop it . ravi : look , i 'm sorry that this is causing you so many personal problems with billy . what is it you think i can do ? phyllis : i 'm just wondering , you know -- i 'm just -- i 'm wondering who else besides jack and lauren and dina and me , who could have known about this ? and taken a step further and tried to sell it , maybe , for a price ? i mean , i - i ... i 'm not worried about dina . she 's got too much to lose . but , i mean , i suppose maybe jack could have mentioned something to ashley -- ravi : no , he didn't . she did n't know anything until after the fact . phyllis : lauren said no in nanoseconds , and i ca n't see her telling anybody , so either we have a spy in our midst ... ravi : or someone gained access to the marketing proposal electronically . phyllis : okay , that 's a thought . will you do a little digging and find out if anyone besides jack went into his files on the server ? i mean , maybe the jabot system is n't as secure as we think . ravi : i need to get on this immediately . phyllis : thank you . thank you . ca n't wait to see what you turn up . nick : well , it 's cool to know we 'll be able to serve more than just water in michigan . noah : [ chuckles ] no kidding . nick : [ laughs ] noah : it 's got to be rough , though . you know , keeping your cool with grandpa . accepting his help . it seems like all he wants to do is criticize you . nick : do n't worry about it . i 'm good . i 've dealt with the constant criticism my whole life . but right now , i 'd rather focus on the positive . you know , we were in a jam , now we 're not , so we can focus on getting underground number two up and running , and then start working on number three . noah : starting to feel real now . nick : it feels like we hit a real turning point . noah : yeah . nick : [ laughs ] nikki : wow . it looks like somebody just got some good news . nick : hey , mom . what brings you by ? nikki : um ... actually , noah , honey , i was hoping to speak with your father alone . noah : yeah , i got some stuff to do in the back . i 'll , uh , leave you to it . nikki : so , what , uh -- what has you two smiling ? nick : oh , you know . just , uh , got a nice little visit from dad . nikki : oh . not the answer i was expecting . nick : yeah , we were having trouble getting a liquor license in michigan , but dad was able to pull some strings and get it done . definitely not my first choice , but for noah 's sake , i dealt with it , because i know how much this means to him . nikki : well , it sounds like you handled that the best way you could . nick : i refuse to let my issues with dad get in the middle of their relationship with him . you know , sometimes i have to grit my teeth , but faith adores her grandpa , so i 'm making every effort not to let my negativity influence her opinion . nikki : yeah , well , i 'm sorry to have to tell you this , but where faith is concerned , victor 's not playing by the same rules . nick : what are you talking about ? nikki : victor went to see faith at camp the night before she came home . sharon : it kills me that we lost track of alice . right ? we ca n't give up now . [ straw rustling ] um , faith 's coming . i have to go . talk soon ? faith : [ sighs ] mom ! guess what ? i took patches through the whole obstacle course . twice ! sharon : that 's wonderful , sweetie ! faith : mm - hmm . where 's grandma ? i thought she was coming to get me ? sharon : um , something came up . but you can stay with me until your dad comes to take you home . faith : you mean , chelsea 's place . sharon : yeah . i was hoping you 'd start to see it as your home , too . you know , your dad 's there . christian . and , you know , you have a beautiful new bedroom . faith : [ chuckles ] yeah . that 's all great . but i miss living at the ranch all the time . being able to see you whenever i want , the pool , the horses . and grandpa , of course . can i go see him now ? sharon : oh , he 's probably still at work . but we have the whole house to ourselves , and we 're long overdue for some serious girl time . so ... you know , i miss that . faith : i miss that , too , mom . jack : mother , we want you here . as part of the family , as someone who 's expertise we can draw on . we have a good thing here . do n't let your feelings for graham end it . dina : graham will never read another word of jabot material . okay ? ashley : thank you . jack : yes , thank you . i 'm glad for your decision . listen , i would love to stay and talk , but i have a meeting i have to get to . excuse me . ashley : i sense a problem . dina : you know , i ca n't understand why you still judge graham so harshly , ashley . ashley : honestly , mother , i do n't think he 's been honest with you , not since the very first day he met you . dina : oh , what are you talking about ? ashley : well , how did you and graham meet ? dina : oh , we met in monte carlo . on a sheik 's yacht . ashley : [ scoffs ] okay . well , was he actually an invited guest ? dina : well , how else would he have been there ? ashley : listen , do you think it 's a possibility that maybe he found himself a way onto that boat for the express purpose of meeting you ? dina : well , if he did , i find that very flattering . ashley : really ? dina : mm - hmm . ashley : you do n't think it speaks to him maybe having an agenda ? dina : oh , here we go again . ashley : well , i know for a fact that he tried for many years to get a job at mergeron . he tried and tried and tried to no avail . until that fateful night where he was able to charm you into hiring him . dina : you 're digging around in graham 's past ? my god , ashley . you 're relentless . ashley : jack and i want the truth , that 's all . and we do n't think you 're gon na ever be able to see it because you 're so blinded by your infatuation . dina : well , you 're wrong about that . and i can prove it . dina : graham and i have keys to each other 's rooms . take it . ashley : seriously ? dina : i 'm paying for it . and since graham 's in paris , you can have it all . ashley : i do n't think he 'd approve . dina : oh , well , you do n't care about that . so go ahead . satisfy your curiosity , ashley . search every last inch of that room . ashley : mother -- dina : and if you do , know that i will expect an apology , and put an end to this insanity when you finally realize graham has nothing to hide . nick : are you certain about this ? nikki : honey , the camp director confirmed it . victor was there . nick : he wanted to get to her first . to explain why me and chelsea moved in together . nikki : well , that 's my guess . nick : i can just see dad now . you know , painting himself out to be the good guy . you know , he did n't want faith to be caught off guard by this thoughtless decision her dad made while she was away . and dad is just devastated , you know , because they 're not gon na get to spend as much time together , but she can always come out to the ranch , because he is the one who 's always been there for her . nikki : yep , that sounds about right . nick : you know , i never told her the truth because i did n't want to damage her feelings toward her grandpa . but after certain things she 's said , i mean , it is clear dad has twisted the truth to draw her closer to him . nikki : it just sickens me that he felt the need to stoop so low . he must feel so threatened , to do something like this . nick : you know what this means , right ? i mean , i have to tell faith the truth on why we moved . otherwise there 's gon na be a part of her that is always gon na resent me and chelsea for taking her away . nikki : i know . i hate to say it , but i think you 're right . nick : [ claps ] well , thanks for telling me , mom . i know it could n't have been easy . nikki : honey , you had a right to know . but i worry about faith . her relationship with victor . what do you intend to do about that ?

phyllis : okay , so , this is what we 're dealing with . a handful of people knew jack 's plan , and yet billy and victoria figured out exactly what he was contemplating , which was to get brash & sassy products off the fenmore 's shelves and somehow replace it with parker beauty . ravi : [ sighs ] yeah , when they both came up here and confronted ashley , it definitely seemed like an inspired guess . phyllis : no , they had to have known . okay , how else does someone jump from `` jack 's out to get me `` to that kind of detail ?

jack : yeah , seems a lot like stalking . ashley : yes . jack : mixed with emotional manipulation . ashley : i think that he targeted her from the very first day . jack : but why her ? why not any other wealthy woman he could attach himself to ? why mother ? ashley : well , that 's what we need to find out . additional sponsorship jack : well , i 'm with you . i want to know graham 's motives for seeking our mother out . i find his behavior toward her disturbing . ashley : you know he 's gon na deny everything . jack : of course he is . he 's gon na say that she filled a huge void in his life , never mind the job , or the estate he would inherit . all the while , he 's counting the days until he inherits her millions . ashley : i wish we knew more about his background . jack : well , mother enlightened me a bit on those subjects . ashley : what 'd she say ? jack : apparently our friend graham had quite a tough life . ashley : well , i knew that . cue the violins . jack : did you also know that his father left him and his mother at a very young age , penniless ? that at one point they were on the streets ? ashley : well , he conveniently left that part out of our conversation . jack : okay , so , obviously you know both his parents are dead . so he was alone in the world when he found dina , and found a new family . ashley : he zeroed in on her for some unknown reason . jack : look , mother was very emotional about this . she thought we were being unfair to graham . she asked that we be more supportive , less judgmental about a man who 's only been affectionate toward her . ashley : god , she is going to be so disappointed . [ knock on door ] jack : come in ! mother ! what a nice surprise . i was starting to worry that you might not come back . dina : well , i was n't so sure that i 'd even be welcome . you both were so incensed when i showed my report to graham . jack : well , hopefully , with a little reflection , you can understand our concerns . we work in a very competitive environment . we ca n't be too careful with confidential material . ashley : and i 'm sure you ran mergeron very much the same way , mother . jack : mother , i know you 're taking a lot of this personally . i 'm asking you to look at it as a businesswoman . as c.e.o . of this company , i have to look at anyone outside of jabot as a potential enemy . ashley : it 's the only smart thing to do . jack : the last time we spoke , i told you if you wanted to work here , you were gon na have to do it without any involvement on graham 's part . i never really got an answer from you , so i do n't know where you stand . i 'm asking you again . can you live with my terms ? victor : when you find your next club , just make sure you grandfather in this kind of liquor license during the sale , okay ? that way you avoid the problems you had now . nick : yes . of course . if that is an option . this time , it wasn't . noah : dad knows what he 's doing , grandpa . victor : drinking establishments are not the same as coffeehouses . and guys who sit on these boards in other states prefer people who have a track record . nick : the underground has been successful for years . my track record is solid . and i believe it will speak for itself when the time comes . victor : you believe whatever you want . but if you want to be successful in business in the long run , you got to cultivate some connections , son . nick : ah , yes . grease the right palms . see , i do n't follow your version of the rules to get ahead . victor : you 're naive , son . that 's how the real world works . noah : thank you , grandpa . really . i 'll keep you posted on our progress . victor : need anything in the future , my boy , call me , all right ? noah : yeah . victor : some issues might crop up unexpectedly . billy : our secret is safe . not to worry . victoria : how can you be sure ? billy : because if phyllis thought that i was using her computer to get information on jabot , she would let me have it . victoria : okay . but even if she does n't suspect you now , that does n't mean that this is over with . because jack is not gon na drop this . billy : jack is not thinking about a computer scenario , okay ? he thinks that we planted somebody upstairs to feed us information . victoria : all right . we just have to be very careful . billy : yes . going forward , i will . you have my word . victoria : are you saying that you 're willing to risk signing onto phyllis ' computer again ? because i do n't want this to backfire on you , billy . billy : it 's not gon na backfire , victoria . trust me . phyllis : it 's a simple request to help your company . why would you hesitate ? ravi : [ sighs ] corporate espionage seems so far - fetched to me . phyllis : not when a newman 's involved . ravi : this was much more likely a careless mistake . a slip of the tongue . i mean , you and billy live together . is n't it possible that you inadvertently -- phyllis : no . not a chance . [ ravi sighs ] this is one battle where i am on jabot 's side . and i am trusting you , as my friend , not to repeat that . ravi : i won't . i just do n't get it . billy loves his job at brash & sassy . do n't you support him ? phyllis : with all my heart . it 's one of the reasons why i want them to lose . billy is devoted to brash & sassy . and to its c.e.o . and , that said , i have a feeling that victoria is trying to pull something shady , and i need your help to get to the bottom of this . there is a leak , and i need to stop it . ravi : look , i 'm sorry that this is causing you so many personal problems with billy . what is it you think i can do ? phyllis : i 'm just wondering , you know -- i 'm just -- i 'm wondering who else besides jack and lauren and dina and me , who could have known about this ? and taken a step further and tried to sell it , maybe , for a price ? i mean , i - i ... i 'm not worried about dina . she 's got too much to lose . but , i mean , i suppose maybe jack could have mentioned something to ashley -- ravi : no , he didn't . she did n't know anything until after the fact . phyllis : lauren said no in nanoseconds , and i ca n't see her telling anybody , so either we have a spy in our midst ... ravi : or someone gained access to the marketing proposal electronically . phyllis : okay , that 's a thought . will you do a little digging and find out if anyone besides jack went into his files on the server ? i mean , maybe the jabot system is n't as secure as we think . ravi : i need to get on this immediately . phyllis : thank you . thank you . ca n't wait to see what you turn up . nick : well , it 's cool to know we 'll be able to serve more than just water in michigan . noah : [ chuckles ] no kidding . nick : [ laughs ] noah : it 's got to be rough , though . you know , keeping your cool with grandpa . accepting his help . it seems like all he wants to do is criticize you . nick : do n't worry about it . i 'm good . i 've dealt with the constant criticism my whole life . but right now , i 'd rather focus on the positive . you know , we were in a jam , now we 're not , so we can focus on getting underground number two up and running , and then start working on number three . noah : starting to feel real now . nick : it feels like we hit a real turning point . noah : yeah . nick : [ laughs ] nikki : wow . it looks like somebody just got some good news . nick : hey , mom . what brings you by ? nikki : um ... actually , noah , honey , i was hoping to speak with your father alone . noah : yeah , i got some stuff to do in the back . i 'll , uh , leave you to it . nikki : so , what , uh -- what has you two smiling ? nick : oh , you know . just , uh , got a nice little visit from dad . nikki : oh . not the answer i was expecting . nick : yeah , we were having trouble getting a liquor license in michigan , but dad was able to pull some strings and get it done . definitely not my first choice , but for noah 's sake , i dealt with it , because i know how much this means to him . nikki : well , it sounds like you handled that the best way you could . nick : i refuse to let my issues with dad get in the middle of their relationship with him . you know , sometimes i have to grit my teeth , but faith adores her grandpa , so i 'm making every effort not to let my negativity influence her opinion . nikki : yeah , well , i 'm sorry to have to tell you this , but where faith is concerned , victor 's not playing by the same rules . nick : what are you talking about ? nikki : victor went to see faith at camp the night before she came home . sharon : it kills me that we lost track of alice . right ? we ca n't give up now . [ straw rustling ] um , faith 's coming . i have to go . talk soon ? faith : [ sighs ] mom ! guess what ? i took patches through the whole obstacle course . twice ! sharon : that 's wonderful , sweetie ! faith : mm - hmm . where 's grandma ? i thought she was coming to get me ? sharon : um , something came up . but you can stay with me until your dad comes to take you home . faith : you mean , chelsea 's place . sharon : yeah . i was hoping you 'd start to see it as your home , too . you know , your dad 's there . christian . and , you know , you have a beautiful new bedroom . faith : [ chuckles ] yeah . that 's all great . but i miss living at the ranch all the time . being able to see you whenever i want , the pool , the horses . and grandpa , of course . can i go see him now ? sharon : oh , he 's probably still at work . but we have the whole house to ourselves , and we 're long overdue for some serious girl time . so ... you know , i miss that . faith : i miss that , too , mom . jack : mother , we want you here . as part of the family , as someone who 's expertise we can draw on . we have a good thing here . do n't let your feelings for graham end it . dina : graham will never read another word of jabot material . okay ? ashley : thank you . jack : yes , thank you . i 'm glad for your decision . listen , i would love to stay and talk , but i have a meeting i have to get to . excuse me . ashley : i sense a problem . dina : you know , i ca n't understand why you still judge graham so harshly , ashley . ashley : honestly , mother , i do n't think he 's been honest with you , not since the very first day he met you . dina : oh , what are you talking about ? ashley : well , how did you and graham meet ? dina : oh , we met in monte carlo . on a sheik 's yacht . ashley : [ scoffs ] okay . well , was he actually an invited guest ? dina : well , how else would he have been there ? ashley : listen , do you think it 's a possibility that maybe he found himself a way onto that boat for the express purpose of meeting you ? dina : well , if he did , i find that very flattering . ashley : really ? dina : mm - hmm . ashley : you do n't think it speaks to him maybe having an agenda ? dina : oh , here we go again . ashley : well , i know for a fact that he tried for many years to get a job at mergeron . he tried and tried and tried to no avail . until that fateful night where he was able to charm you into hiring him . dina : you 're digging around in graham 's past ? my god , ashley . you 're relentless . ashley : jack and i want the truth , that 's all . and we do n't think you 're gon na ever be able to see it because you 're so blinded by your infatuation . dina : well , you 're wrong about that . and i can prove it . dina : graham and i have keys to each other 's rooms . take it . ashley : seriously ? dina : i 'm paying for it . and since graham 's in paris , you can have it all . ashley : i do n't think he 'd approve . dina : oh , well , you do n't care about that . so go ahead . satisfy your curiosity , ashley . search every last inch of that room . ashley : mother -- dina : and if you do , know that i will expect an apology , and put an end to this insanity when you finally realize graham has nothing to hide . nick : are you certain about this ? nikki : honey , the camp director confirmed it . victor was there . nick : he wanted to get to her first . to explain why me and chelsea moved in together . nikki : well , that 's my guess . nick : i can just see dad now . you know , painting himself out to be the good guy . you know , he did n't want faith to be caught off guard by this thoughtless decision her dad made while she was away . and dad is just devastated , you know , because they 're not gon na get to spend as much time together , but she can always come out to the ranch , because he is the one who 's always been there for her . nikki : yep , that sounds about right . nick : you know , i never told her the truth because i did n't want to damage her feelings toward her grandpa . but after certain things she 's said , i mean , it is clear dad has twisted the truth to draw her closer to him . nikki : it just sickens me that he felt the need to stoop so low . he must feel so threatened , to do something like this . nick : you know what this means , right ? i mean , i have to tell faith the truth on why we moved . otherwise there 's gon na be a part of her that is always gon na resent me and chelsea for taking her away . nikki : i know . i hate to say it , but i think you 're right . nick : [ claps ] well , thanks for telling me , mom . i know it could n't have been easy . nikki : honey , you had a right to know . but i worry about faith . her relationship with victor . what do you intend to do about that ?

summer : ooh ! are those for me ? nick : i do n't know . i 'm just santa 's helper . summer : oh , my gosh . what ? there 's no tags on these . how are we supposed to know who gets what ? nick : well , the big boss is gon na send me a text . summer : oh , really ? santa texts , huh ? nick : oh , yeah . the dude is a full - blown digital nomad . he does most of his work remotely , except , of course , for that -- you know , that night on christmas eve . summer : mm - hmm . wow , you sure are in the holiday spirit . nick : well , i 've got a list , checked it twice , got presents , check , got a copy of `` the night before christmas `` to read to christian , check , gon na embrace the reason for the season by inviting my brother to christmas , check and check . summer : wait . i 'm sorry . adam is coming tomorrow ? nick : yeah . it 's , uh -- it 's gon na get a little tricky . summer : okay . and by `` tricky , `` you mean that he 's gon na ruin the entire day ? nick : adam is connor 's dad . summer : yeah , he 's also a dirtbag who tried to kill grandpa . nick : well , i want chelsea and connor here , okay ? and ... it 's not just for me . it 's for christian , too . so i need everyone to just kind of suck it up and get over it . think you could do that ? summer : do i really have a choice ? nick : not if you want to avoid the naughty list . i got to go . we 're handing out presents to the residents of new hope that we 've collected . i love you . summer : love you . nick : [ smooches ] do n't worry . everything 's gon na be fine . phyllis : hey . merry christmas eve , baby . summer : oh , i 'm not so sure about that . phyllis : why ? what 's wrong ? summer : we , um , have a situation . summer : yeah , so , dad 's all about this inclusive christmas idea . phyllis : yes . i am the beneficiary of his holiday generosity . summer : well , did you know that adam 's also invited to tomorrow 's celebrations ? phyllis : [ sighs heavily ] what ? no . i had no idea . summer : yeah , i figured , since he just sprung the news on me . phyllis : nick hates adam . summer : yeah , well , apparently he 's willing to extend an olive branch for connor and christian 's sake . phyllis : that 's not a branch . that 's a whole tree . summer : well , i did n't tell him about your falling - out with adam . phyllis : it 's probably just as well . summer : look , i want to spend tomorrow with you and dad , but it does n't have to be at the same time , so you and i can just make our own plans . i do n't know . just let me know , okay ? phyllis : no . no , i know what i have to do . chelsea : well , so much for not spoiling connor . adam : no , i know we talked about not going overboard , but i just could n't help myself . it 's my first christmas with my son in years . chelsea : it 's understandable that you 'd want to make up for lost time . adam : well , i 'm not sure that is possible . chelsea : you 're doing it every day , every day that you 're here . the cookies should be ready soon . adam : ooh , i have milk for them , and i have carrots for the reindeer . chelsea : ah . adam : and connor is working on a very detailed note for santa . what ? did we forget something ? chelsea : no , no . no , we did n't forget anything . no , this just feels so ... normal , so real . adam : that 's because it is . chelsea : [ inhales sharply ] did we forget anything else on our to - do list ? adam : uh , i think we covered everything . chelsea : great . great . [ inhales sharply ] [ hands patting ] adam : there was just something that was n't on the list that i actually wanted to talk to you about . chelsea : okay . what 's that ? adam : it is a special gift that i want to give to connor . chelsea : another one ? adam : no , this one is long overdue . it 's something that i 've been promising him for a while . chelsea : it 's not one of those electric scooters , is it ? because those things terrify me . adam : i want to take him to my mom 's farm . chelsea : oh . adam , that 's wonderful . adam : mm - hmm . chelsea : when would you go ? adam : tomorrow . and i want you to come with us . thousands of women with metastatic breast cancer , additional sponsorship billy : uh , no . well , we do n't really know each other that well . we 've just kind of ran into each other around town a little bit , and , uh , you know , it 's hard not to notice her face . [ footsteps approaching ] i just did it again , of course . phyllis : hey , amanda . making new friends , i see . amanda : well , i was just saying hi . phyllis : you two look festive . victoria : yeah . thank you . just getting into the holiday spirit . how about you ? phyllis : ho , ho , ho . billy : yeah . phyllis : so , do you want to join me for a drink at the bar ? amanda : um ... yes . yes , i will . [ chuckles ] victoria : nice to meet you . amanda : you too . billy . billy : merry christmas . amanda : same to you . thank you . um , i hope you and your family enjoy the holidays . billy : thanks . [ footsteps departing ] victoria : she seems nice . billy : yeah . amanda : [ chuckles ] did you , um , really want to have a drink , or were you just trying to save me from polite small talk ? phyllis : no one should have to suffer through victoria newman . amanda : [ chuckles ] oh , i take it you 're not friends ? phyllis : um , no , she does n't play well with others , suffice it to say . anyway , i do n't want to talk about her . so -- ah , thank you ! we have so many great drinks -- apple cider -- what else ? -- hot toddies . we even have mulled wine for the holidays . amanda : scotch neat , please . phyllis : oh , okay . sharp left into the unexpected . [ both laugh ] i 'll have the same thing . amanda : uh , you can add it to my tab . phyllis : you do n't have to do that . amanda : oh , i 'm just paying it forward . i have n't had to buy any of my own drinks lately . phyllis : ohh , well , there 's definitely a story there . who is he ? amanda : [ chuckles ] theo : hey . uh , was n't expecting to see you here . summer : yeah , obviously . what are you doing working around the office when it 's closed ? chelsea : we ca n't go to your mom 's farm tomorrow . we have plans . adam : going to nick 's for christmas was your idea . chelsea : you never said you did n't want to go . adam : do you really think that i 'm looking forward to spending the day somewhere where i 'm not wanted ? chelsea : that is not true . nick said he wants us all to be together . adam : [ sighs ] you never ask me what i want or connor . chelsea : connor told you he did n't want to go ? adam : i know my son , and what he wants is a special christmas with his family , one that he 'll always remember , so i want to give him that . chelsea : by taking him away from his home ? adam : no . look , we will wake up in genoa city . we 'll wake up together . we 'll open presents . but , chelsea , imagine the look on his face when we tell him we 're gon na be flying to kansas . chelsea : why are you doing this ? adam : because i 'm trying to create a magical christmas for our son . chelsea : no , you 're trying to come up with some elaborate scheme to avoid having to spend the holidays with nick . adam : [ laughs ] do you think i 'm threatened by my brother ? chelsea : you never once mentioned kansas to me until i told you we were going to nick 's . adam : i 've been wanting to take connor there for weeks . that 's where we were headed when everything went down at the grand phoenix . and you know how special this place is to me . to be able to share that with my son tomorrow -- that would mean so much to him and to me . i mean , i can see it now , just the three of us there on christmas . chelsea : adam -- adam : what -- what better day to show him the place that holds so many good memories to me ? i want him to see where i grew up and where his grandmother lived and where his parents got married , you know , share all that love that i felt there . i ca n't even imagine anything better to share with our son . hey ! it 's me ! your dry skin ! theo : you caught me . if you check my pocket , you will find two pens , a box of paper clips , and six laptops . summer : very funny . theo : what ? is n't that what lurkers do -- steal stuff ? summer : i was n't accusing you of anything . i just think it 's weird that you 're here . theo : yeah , totally weird that i would come to the office to catch up on work . summer : it 's christmas eve . theo : you told me if this job was important to me , i should make it a priority . summer : okay , so , you 're telling me that you came in on your day off and everyone else 's day off to prove how dedicated you are ? theo : you seem to have done the same thing . summer : no , i just forgot something . you didn't . you 're here for some other reason . so , come on . spill . theo : [ sighs ] jack and traci invited me to celebrate christmas eve with them . they were totally cool about it and insisted there was no pressure , but ... summer : but what ? theo : [ sighs ] it just ... does n't feel right being at a family celebration when you 're not really family . summer : what ? no , you 're family . theo : no , these days , i 'm not feeling much of an abbott or a vanderway . summer : theo . theo : it 's all good . you know , coming here , being productive makes me feel less guilty about turning down jack and traci 's offer . summer : yeah . i get it . theo : yeah ? summer : yeah . i mean , i love my parents , but sometimes i just need to escape their drama . and , yeah , work can be overwhelming and exhausting , but it 's a lot easier than dealing with their family crap . theo : see ? we still have something in common . might as well take advantage of that . victoria : i do n't suppose you happen to remember what today is , do you ? billy : come on . it 's our second anniversary . third if you count jamaica . victoria : you know , i did n't think that we would have a crazier wedding than that . billy : that was a crazy time . victoria : yeah , it was , but christmas eve ... billy : christmas eve . i mean , not many people show up as guests of a wedding and end up becoming the bride and groom . i have to say that . victoria : yeah . who does that ? billy : we do . victoria : you know , we had no idea when we woke up that morning that we would be married & by the end of the day . billy : no . or end up in jamaica for a honeymoon . victoria : we just closed our eyes and we jumped in , did n't we ? billy : [ sighs ] we did a lot of that back then . victoria : yeah . did n't always work out . billy : no , it did n't , but , uh , it was always a thrill , was n't it . victoria : i do n't regret one minute of it . billy : really ? victoria : not one . really . billy : what about that chartreuse couch ? eh . victoria : well , you know , some of the decisions that we made were good and some were bad , but they all led us to where we are right now . billy : [ chuckles ] victoria : and i would n't want to be anywhere else but here . billy : a lot of crazy ups and downs since we first fell in love . victoria : i love you more now than i did back then . billy : it 's funny to think how much has changed since we first got together . victoria : yeah . after everything we 've been through , i feel like we know each other better than we ever have . billy : [ thinking ] you think you know me victoria , but there 's so much more going on with me than you realize . if only -- victoria : you know , i would love to stay here all night , but we have to hurry up and get home and pack before the flight . billy : do n't want to be late for that . amanda : thank you . [ keypad clacking ] phyllis : okay . [ chuckles ] [ sighs ] so , you mean to tell me there is no man in your life ? amanda : [ scoffs ] why should that matter ? phyllis : it doesn't . believe me . i 'm sorry . i do n't have personal boundaries . amanda : all i meant was i 've been getting out more , and people have been very friendly . phyllis : mm - hmm . `` friendly . `` [ both laugh ] i 'm sure many men would like to buy you a drink . amanda : well , i am not interested in any more than that . life is complicated enough . phyllis : oh , i hear ya . but in my case , i -- i brought a lot of it upon myself . you know what i mean ? amanda : finding it hard not to get in your own way ? phyllis : yeah , and then i do the right thing , and that blows up in my face , so ... amanda : well , it sounds like you 're the one with the story . phyllis : yeah . [ sighs ] yeah . i will tell you one day . thank you for the drink . amanda : you did n't finish it . phyllis : no . i - i know . there 's something i have to take care of . i have to take care of it now . i ca n't keep on putting it off . thanks . theo : so , the contest will start january 2nd , the same day jcv 's spring line launches . now , it 'll run in conjunction with our major marketing campaigns , which have been set for weeks now . summer : okay . so , how does it work ? theo : we ask our online community to share a photo of something jabot believes in with the hashtag # jcvcares . now , we are looking for images that capture jabot 's our customers ' views on everything from body image to animal testing on cosmetics . now , we share these photos across all of our social - media platforms because who does n't want their personal brand identified with a major player in the fashion world ? every week , we name a winner , who receives free products and exposure to thousands of potential new followers . now , they post a photo of themselves in their new merch with links to buy , increasing our sales , not to mention the positive pr we get from promoting good causes . summer : wow . that 's a really good idea . we should start rolling this out right away actually . theo : are you sure we should n't run this by kyle first ? summer : no , there 's no need . i have the authority to green - light anything to do with marketing . theo : okay , well , he is co - ceo , so should n't we keep him in the loop ? summer : yeah , he will be . theo : by you ? summer : yeah . [ chuckles ] why ? do you have a problem with that ? theo : no , it just seems like you 're trying to minimize my contact with kyle and maximize yours . summer : okay . uh , that 's crazy . i 'm just doing my job . theo : is it part of your job to make sure kyle 's ego does n't get bruised because i 'm killing it here ? summer : okay , theo , um , you 're really good at social media , but you suck at reading people . theo : if you say so . nick : i 'm surprised to see you today . did you have some presents you wanted to drop off for summer ? phyllis : no , um ... yeah , i just wanted to tell you something . um ... nick : is this about locking in the details for tomorrow ? phyllis : [ exhales sharply ] yeah , i think it 's so lovely , what you 're doing , having the whole family over for christmas . nick : well , ' tis the season , right ? phyllis : yeah . nick : peace on earth , goodwill toward men . phyllis : i wanted to embrace that sentiment , um , and leave the drama behind . nick : what do you mean , you wanted to ? did you change your mind ? phyllis : you know , i just think it 's best if summer and i spend christmas together . i already talked to summer about it , and she 's fine with it . nick : well , i 'm not . phyllis : okay . uh , i just think it 's best if summer and i , um , have a mother / daughter brunch and open gifts christmas morning , and then she could spend the rest of the time with her family . you know , it 's the best of both worlds . nick : no , it is not . phyllis : okay , well , that 's the way it 's gon na be . nick : what is going on ? why are you canceling ? phyllis : i did n't know that you invited adam . nick : well , i did n't think it was gon na be a problem , considering you guys are such good buds . phyllis : we 're not good buds . we 're not . and i really admire that you 're trying to take the high road for your kids but [ sighs ] i 'll be damned if i 'm gon na stand around the christmas tree singing christmas carols with adam . chelsea : sorry about that . adam : well , santa 's got to have his cookies . chelsea : [ sighs ] i realize how important this trip is to you . adam : yeah , well , it 's the farm , so ... chelsea : i know . but i can't . adam : [ sighs ] are you afraid ? chelsea : afraid ? [ chuckles ] what -- what would i have to be afraid of ? adam : of the things that you might feel when we go there . chelsea : no , adam . no . adam : it 's okay . i understand . i mean , it 's the place where we started our life together ... you know , standing in the spot where we promised each other everything . i can see how that would be overwhelming for you . it is for me , too , when i think about that day ... and how i felt ... and the vows that we exchanged . chelsea : stop . please . adam : i will never forget the way that you looked at me . it was like everything i loved about you was right there in your eyes . your strength [ chuckles ] your flaws , your beauty -- it was all right there staring back at me . you know , i 'd give anything for you to look at me like that again ... because i love you . chelsea : [ sighs ] adam -- adam : i do . i love you , chelsea . hey ! it 's me ! your dry skin ! `` the young and the restless `` will continue . `` the young and the restless `` will continue . billy : okay , the kids are all packed up , ready to go . victoria : did you remember their toothbrushes ? billy : toothbrushes , hairbrushes , hair clips , hair ties , the whole deal . checked the list twice . victoria : what about the -- billy : blankies ? n the backpacks , which are both right here . victoria : and you said you did n't do enough . billy : i had to catch up . victoria : oh , i hope we 're not forgetting anything . billy : if we did , we 'll just get it when we get there . victoria : okay , i spoke with the pilot . he 's ready and waiting . billy : okay , well , hannah should be back with the kids and we 'll load this up and we 'll be good to go . victoria : i 'm so excited ! billy : [ laughs ] i am excited , maybe not quite as excited as you , but ... no , listen , the more i think about this , i realize this is exactly what we need . mmm . victoria : mmm . [ chuckles ] [ cellphone chimes ] billy : let me get that . [ clears throat ] oh , no . [ sighs ] chelsea : adam , i know you may think you love me . adam : i do . chelsea : no . you 're confused . adam : no , i am not . i am seeing things more clearly than i have in a long time . chelsea : no , you 're just overwhelmed with emotion . we are consumed with worry about our son , living here as a family for his sake . the lines have gotten blurred , and so you 're confusing your worry for him -- adam : okay . okay . just stop right there . do not tell me how i feel . i know exactly how i feel . the question is , do you ? nick : why 'd you do the 180 without him ? phyllis : um , i do n't know . i think i just started believing what everybody else knows about adam . nick : what , that he 's a selfish , egotistical , narcissistic , psychopathic freak ? phyllis : i could deal with that . [ chuckles ] no , it 's just , he does n't know , um , what it means to be a friend . nick : why is that surprising ? he has a complete lack of empathy . phyllis : yeah , he definitely does n't see people as people . you 're either useful to him , or you 're not . nick : what 'd he do ? seriously , say the word , and i 'll beat the crap out of him . phyllis : [ laughs ] i was just stupid to believe i mattered . i can usually read people better than this . nick : well , do n't beat yourself up . he 's a lot better at fooling them . phyllis : yeah . yeah . so , we 're good about tomorrow ? nick : adam is the one who should n't be coming . phyllis : yeah . it 's fine . do n't worry about it . nick : i just -- i hate it that you do n't want to be here to celebrate because of him . phyllis : it 's -- it 's okay . just let it alone . i 'll be fine . nick : no , you should be here with summer . phyllis : uh , can we just not talk about this anymore , please ? nick : phyllis , the more you hold back , the more concerned i 'm getting , especially since connor and chelsea are currently living with him . phyllis : they 're not in any danger when it comes to adam . nick : well , if he 's going back to the dark side , i need to know about it . phyllis : nobody 's in danger , okay ? the only thing that is hurt are my feelings -- that 's it -- and my pride . that 's it . nick : well , i 'm not letting you leave here until you tell me what went down with adam . phyllis : [ chuckles ] what , are you gon na force it out of me ? nick : maybe i will . what 's going on ? phyllis : he wanted me to seduce you . nick : what ? phyllis : yeah . he figured if we hooked up , um , that would be the end of you and chelsea and she would go running back into his arms . theo : well , i think that covers everything . i 'll be in my office if you need me . summer : theo , wait . theo : yeah ? summer : uh , kyle is not threatened by you because he does n't have any reason to be . jack is his dad , he is co - ceo , he 's heir apparent , and he 's got a devoted wife who -- oh , my god . that 's totally it . theo : what ? summer : lola . she 's the reason why you 're not gon na go celebrate with the abbotts . you ca n't stand the thought of having to watch her and kyle have their first christmas as husband and wife . theo : you 've been hitting the eggnog too hard . summer : no . i 'm right . you do n't want to have to sit there and watch them open presents together and kiss under the mistletoe while you pine away . or did you not go because you know lola does n't want you hovering around like a little lovesick puppy dog ? theo : if lola had a problem hanging out with me , she 'd tell me . summer : yeah , you 're right . she would . huh . theo : now what ? summer : i just find it interesting that lola 's okay with you hanging out , even though she knows kyle would n't like it . billy : i understand . i 'll handle it . okay , i 'll call you soon as everything 's finalized . thanks . well , you know that deal i was consulting on ? victoria : yeah . the one that was almost finalized ? billy : yeah , well , not so much anymore . victoria : ah , let me guess . it 's not . billy : no . the other team 's side has a whole list of new demands . victoria : i guess they never heard the dickens story . billy : i do n't think they care about christmas ghosts , honey . victoria : well , ca n't this wait until after the holiday ? billy : trust me , i would love to , but this is a multimillion - dollar deal . i ca n't leave them high and dry . plus , if i screw this up , i 'm out of a gig . victoria : okay , i will call the pilot , and i 'll delay the flight until later this evening . billy : no , no , no , let 's not do that , okay ? hold on . the kids are so excited to go . they 're all packed up , okay ? reed 's already on his way . plus , you should be there to meet him . victoria : you 're right . billy : okay , let 's just go as scheduled . victoria : are you sure you 're okay going -- billy : i will be there in the morning before anybody even opens their presents , okay ? victoria : i do n't want to spend christmas without you . billy : you won't . i promise . nick : that bastard has gone too far this time . phyllis : um , i do n't think `` too far `` is the thing for adam . nick : he tried to get you to break me and chelsea up . if he thought he could manipulate either one of us , it just proves he 's as stupid as he is despicable . phyllis : you 're not surprised , are you ? he tried to take your son . now he 's trying to take chelsea . nick : probably found out we were all gon na be together for christmas , so he wanted to use the situation to his advantage . phyllis : uh , no . he -- he asked me to do this before you invited me . nick : what ? why did you say anything ? phyllis : well , i was going to . i even went looking for you , but then i decided not to . nick : why ? phyllis : because i did n't want to be the one to blow things up this time . i mean , imagine the scenario . i tell you . then you go to adam , and you try to beat the crap out of him . and that 's not such a far - fetched scenario . nick : no , it 's not . but you should have said something . phyllis : you told me to butt out of your relationship with chelsea . i was just doing what you asked . nick : that 's a cop - out . phyllis : no , it 's not . maybe it is . nick , you know that adam is trying to win chelsea back . we talked about this . i figured there was no real reason to tell you this information . nick : i really thought he 'd try and use connor , you know , to take advantage , but this -- this is a whole new level of sickness , even for him . phyllis : alright , so -- so , what if i went to you and i said , `` this is information you had to know `` ? would you have believed me ? or would you have questioned my motives , like you 're doing right now ? nick : [ sighs ] phyllis : yeah , i thought so . adam : [ sighs ] maybe you 're not ready to admit it , or maybe you 're just -- you 're afraid . but it is there , chelsea , that connection that has always been there between us . i mean , that is what brought us together . it 's what gave us connor . and that bond , those emotions that we felt for each other -- sure , they might 've got buried when you thought you lost me . but those feelings have never gone away . and i know you feel it just like i do . chelsea : i do feel something for you . of course . how could i not ? i mean , we share a history . we share a son , so we 'll always be connected because of him . adam : no , you know that is not what i 'm talking about . chelsea : i love nick , adam . i love nick . adam : okay , because he 's safe and he 's easy . chelsea : no . no . adam : there is no risk with nick . he can not break your heart , chelsea , because he does n't have it . chelsea : stop , adam , please . stop . i love nick , okay ? you need to accept that . man : sneezes theo : hey , hold on . summer , i 'm warning you . do n't go stirring up trouble where there is n't any . summer : okay , if there 's nothing going on between the two of you , then what are you so worried about ? theo : i know what 's going on here . summer : yeah , you do . you just wo n't admit it . theo : mnh - mnh . you wish there was something going on with me and lola because that would open the door for you to get back together with kyle . summer : [ scoffs ] oh , my god . that 's ridiculous . theo : and so is the idea that there is anything between lola and me , hmm ? summer : fine . i 'll drop it . theo : good . summer : but , theo ... if i 'm right , the truth will come out eventually . billy : [ sighs ] okay . you 're gon na have a mutiny on your hands if you do n't get going . victoria : i know . i hate going without you . billy : i got these for the kids . hopefully it 'll distract them so they do n't get too upset that i wo n't be there for christmas eve . victoria : who 's gon na distract me ? billy : aw . i 'm sorry i 'm not going with you right now . victoria : i 'll be counting the minutes until i see you in telluride . billy : i do n't deserve you . victoria : no , i strongly disagree . billy : [ chuckles ] victoria : you 're everything that i want and everything that i need . billy : mm . [ thinking ] what if i 'm not , vick ? what if i can never be the man that you need ? victoria : i love you , billy . billy : i love you , too .

billy : uh , no . amanda : so things are good at home ? billy : yeah . things are -- things are -- things are great . things are great on paper . i mean , some would even say they 're perfect , but , uh ... i do n't know . i 've always been nervous of perfect . billy : you do realize this could potentially be the last moment we have alone until we get home from the trip . victoria : oh , i know . why do you think i suggested it ? billy : and we still have a few hours until we have to get on the plane , if you ... victoria : oh , my goodness . billy : ... know what i mean . victoria : oh , i hope i have n't forgotten anything . okay , so , the cabin has been decorated . the presents have been shipped . billy : mm - hmm . victoria : the refrigerator is fully stocked . i have the ski lessons for katie and johnny , and i arranged for the car to pick up reed , so i think -- billy : you have thought of everything . sorry i have n't been more help . victoria : yeah , but you have a new job . and besides , you know us `` a `` types . we love to plan and organize . billy : well , i appreciate everything you 've done . victoria : i just want everything to be perfect . that 's all . billy : yeah , i know . amanda : hi . billy : hey . amanda : victoria newman , right ?

santa texts , huh ? nick : oh , yeah . the dude is a full - blown digital nomad . he does most of his work remotely , except , of course , for that -- you know , that night on christmas eve . summer : mm - hmm . wow , you sure are in the holiday spirit . nick : well , i 've got a list , checked it twice , got presents , check , got a copy of `` the night before christmas `` to read to christian , check , gon na embrace the reason for the season by inviting my brother to christmas , check and check . summer : wait . i 'm sorry . adam is coming tomorrow ? nick : yeah . it 's , uh -- it 's gon na get a little tricky . summer : okay . and by `` tricky , `` you mean that he 's gon na ruin the entire day ? nick : adam is connor 's dad . summer : yeah , he 's also a dirtbag who tried to kill grandpa . nick : well , i want chelsea and connor here , okay ? and ... it 's not just for me . it 's for christian , too . so i need everyone to just kind of suck it up and get over it . think you could do that ? summer : do i really have a choice ? nick : not if you want to avoid the naughty list . i got to go . we 're handing out presents to the residents of new hope that we 've collected . i love you . summer : love you . nick : [ smooches ] do n't worry . everything 's gon na be fine . phyllis : hey . merry christmas eve , baby . summer : oh , i 'm not so sure about that . phyllis : why ?

phyllis : [ sighs heavily ] what ? no . i had no idea . summer : yeah , i figured , since he just sprung the news on me . phyllis : nick hates adam . summer : yeah , well , apparently he 's willing to extend an olive branch for connor and christian 's sake . phyllis : that 's not a branch . that 's a whole tree . summer : well , i did n't tell him about your falling - out with adam . phyllis : it 's probably just as well . summer : look , i want to spend tomorrow with you and dad , but it does n't have to be at the same time , so you and i can just make our own plans . i do n't know . just let me know , okay ? phyllis : no . no , i know what i have to do . chelsea : well , so much for not spoiling connor . adam : no , i know we talked about not going overboard , but i just could n't help myself . it 's my first christmas with my son in years . chelsea : it 's understandable that you 'd want to make up for lost time . adam : well , i 'm not sure that is possible . chelsea : you 're doing it every day , every day that you 're here . the cookies should be ready soon . adam : ooh , i have milk for them , and i have carrots for the reindeer . chelsea : ah . adam : and connor is working on a very detailed note for santa . what ? did we forget something ? chelsea : no , no . no , we did n't forget anything . no , this just feels so ... normal , so real . adam : that 's because it is . chelsea : [ inhales sharply ] did we forget anything else on our to - do list ? adam : uh , i think we covered everything . chelsea : great . great . [ inhales sharply ] [ hands patting ] adam : there was just something that was n't on the list that i actually wanted to talk to you about . chelsea : okay . what 's that ? adam : it is a special gift that i want to give to connor . chelsea : another one ? adam : no , this one is long overdue . it 's something that i 've been promising him for a while . chelsea : it 's not one of those electric scooters , is it ? because those things terrify me . adam : i want to take him to my mom 's farm . chelsea : oh . adam , that 's wonderful . adam : mm - hmm . chelsea : when would you go ? adam : tomorrow . and i want you to come with us . thousands of women with metastatic breast cancer , additional sponsorship billy : uh , no . well , we do n't really know each other that well . we 've just kind of ran into each other around town a little bit , and , uh , you know , it 's hard not to notice her face . [ footsteps approaching ] i just did it again , of course . phyllis : hey , amanda . making new friends , i see . amanda : well , i was just saying hi . phyllis : you two look festive . victoria : yeah . thank you . just getting into the holiday spirit . how about you ? phyllis : ho , ho , ho . billy : yeah . phyllis : so , do you want to join me for a drink at the bar ? amanda : um ... yes . yes , i will . [ chuckles ] victoria : nice to meet you . amanda : you too . billy . billy : merry christmas . amanda : same to you . thank you . um , i hope you and your family enjoy the holidays . billy : thanks . [ footsteps departing ] victoria : she seems nice . billy : yeah . amanda : [ chuckles ] did you , um , really want to have a drink , or were you just trying to save me from polite small talk ? phyllis : no one should have to suffer through victoria newman . amanda : [ chuckles ] oh , i take it you 're not friends ? phyllis : um , no , she does n't play well with others , suffice it to say . anyway , i do n't want to talk about her . so -- ah , thank you ! we have so many great drinks -- apple cider -- what else ? -- hot toddies . we even have mulled wine for the holidays . amanda : scotch neat , please . phyllis : oh , okay . sharp left into the unexpected . [ both laugh ] i 'll have the same thing . amanda : uh , you can add it to my tab . phyllis : you do n't have to do that . amanda : oh , i 'm just paying it forward . i have n't had to buy any of my own drinks lately . phyllis : ohh , well , there 's definitely a story there . who is he ? amanda : [ chuckles ] theo : hey . uh , was n't expecting to see you here . summer : yeah , obviously . what are you doing working around the office when it 's closed ? chelsea : we ca n't go to your mom 's farm tomorrow . we have plans . adam : going to nick 's for christmas was your idea . chelsea : you never said you did n't want to go . adam : do you really think that i 'm looking forward to spending the day somewhere where i 'm not wanted ? chelsea : that is not true . nick said he wants us all to be together . adam : [ sighs ] you never ask me what i want or connor . chelsea : connor told you he did n't want to go ? adam : i know my son , and what he wants is a special christmas with his family , one that he 'll always remember , so i want to give him that . chelsea : by taking him away from his home ? adam : no . look , we will wake up in genoa city . we 'll wake up together . we 'll open presents . but , chelsea , imagine the look on his face when we tell him we 're gon na be flying to kansas . chelsea : why are you doing this ? adam : because i 'm trying to create a magical christmas for our son . chelsea : no , you 're trying to come up with some elaborate scheme to avoid having to spend the holidays with nick . adam : [ laughs ] do you think i 'm threatened by my brother ? chelsea : you never once mentioned kansas to me until i told you we were going to nick 's . adam : i 've been wanting to take connor there for weeks . that 's where we were headed when everything went down at the grand phoenix . and you know how special this place is to me . to be able to share that with my son tomorrow -- that would mean so much to him and to me . i mean , i can see it now , just the three of us there on christmas . chelsea : adam -- adam : what -- what better day to show him the place that holds so many good memories to me ? i want him to see where i grew up and where his grandmother lived and where his parents got married , you know , share all that love that i felt there . i ca n't even imagine anything better to share with our son . hey ! it 's me ! your dry skin ! theo : you caught me . if you check my pocket , you will find two pens , a box of paper clips , and six laptops . summer : very funny . theo : what ? is n't that what lurkers do -- steal stuff ? summer : i was n't accusing you of anything . i just think it 's weird that you 're here . theo : yeah , totally weird that i would come to the office to catch up on work . summer : it 's christmas eve . theo : you told me if this job was important to me , i should make it a priority . summer : okay , so , you 're telling me that you came in on your day off and everyone else 's day off to prove how dedicated you are ? theo : you seem to have done the same thing . summer : no , i just forgot something . you didn't . you 're here for some other reason . so , come on . spill . theo : [ sighs ] jack and traci invited me to celebrate christmas eve with them . they were totally cool about it and insisted there was no pressure , but ... summer : but what ? theo : [ sighs ] it just ... does n't feel right being at a family celebration when you 're not really family . summer : what ? no , you 're family . theo : no , these days , i 'm not feeling much of an abbott or a vanderway . summer : theo . theo : it 's all good . you know , coming here , being productive makes me feel less guilty about turning down jack and traci 's offer . summer : yeah . i get it . theo : yeah ? summer : yeah . i mean , i love my parents , but sometimes i just need to escape their drama . and , yeah , work can be overwhelming and exhausting , but it 's a lot easier than dealing with their family crap . theo : see ? we still have something in common . might as well take advantage of that . victoria : i do n't suppose you happen to remember what today is , do you ? billy : come on . it 's our second anniversary . third if you count jamaica . victoria : you know , i did n't think that we would have a crazier wedding than that . billy : that was a crazy time . victoria : yeah , it was , but christmas eve ... billy : christmas eve . i mean , not many people show up as guests of a wedding and end up becoming the bride and groom . i have to say that . victoria : yeah . who does that ? billy : we do . victoria : you know , we had no idea when we woke up that morning that we would be married & by the end of the day . billy : no . or end up in jamaica for a honeymoon . victoria : we just closed our eyes and we jumped in , did n't we ? billy : [ sighs ] we did a lot of that back then . victoria : yeah . did n't always work out . billy : no , it did n't , but , uh , it was always a thrill , was n't it . victoria : i do n't regret one minute of it . billy : really ? victoria : not one . really . billy : what about that chartreuse couch ? eh . victoria : well , you know , some of the decisions that we made were good and some were bad , but they all led us to where we are right now . billy : [ chuckles ] victoria : and i would n't want to be anywhere else but here . billy : a lot of crazy ups and downs since we first fell in love . victoria : i love you more now than i did back then . billy : it 's funny to think how much has changed since we first got together . victoria : yeah . after everything we 've been through , i feel like we know each other better than we ever have . billy : [ thinking ] you think you know me victoria , but there 's so much more going on with me than you realize . if only -- victoria : you know , i would love to stay here all night , but we have to hurry up and get home and pack before the flight . billy : do n't want to be late for that . amanda : thank you . [ keypad clacking ] phyllis : okay . [ chuckles ] [ sighs ] so , you mean to tell me there is no man in your life ? amanda : [ scoffs ] why should that matter ? phyllis : it doesn't . believe me . i 'm sorry . i do n't have personal boundaries . amanda : all i meant was i 've been getting out more , and people have been very friendly . phyllis : mm - hmm . `` friendly . `` [ both laugh ] i 'm sure many men would like to buy you a drink . amanda : well , i am not interested in any more than that . life is complicated enough . phyllis : oh , i hear ya . but in my case , i -- i brought a lot of it upon myself . you know what i mean ? amanda : finding it hard not to get in your own way ? phyllis : yeah , and then i do the right thing , and that blows up in my face , so ... amanda : well , it sounds like you 're the one with the story . phyllis : yeah . [ sighs ] yeah . i will tell you one day . thank you for the drink . amanda : you did n't finish it . phyllis : no . i - i know . there 's something i have to take care of . i have to take care of it now . i ca n't keep on putting it off . thanks . theo : so , the contest will start january 2nd , the same day jcv 's spring line launches . now , it 'll run in conjunction with our major marketing campaigns , which have been set for weeks now . summer : okay . so , how does it work ? theo : we ask our online community to share a photo of something jabot believes in with the hashtag # jcvcares . now , we are looking for images that capture jabot 's our customers ' views on everything from body image to animal testing on cosmetics . now , we share these photos across all of our social - media platforms because who does n't want their personal brand identified with a major player in the fashion world ? every week , we name a winner , who receives free products and exposure to thousands of potential new followers . now , they post a photo of themselves in their new merch with links to buy , increasing our sales , not to mention the positive pr we get from promoting good causes . summer : wow . that 's a really good idea . we should start rolling this out right away actually . theo : are you sure we should n't run this by kyle first ? summer : no , there 's no need . i have the authority to green - light anything to do with marketing . theo : okay , well , he is co - ceo , so should n't we keep him in the loop ? summer : yeah , he will be . theo : by you ? summer : yeah . [ chuckles ] why ? do you have a problem with that ? theo : no , it just seems like you 're trying to minimize my contact with kyle and maximize yours . summer : okay . uh , that 's crazy . i 'm just doing my job . theo : is it part of your job to make sure kyle 's ego does n't get bruised because i 'm killing it here ? summer : okay , theo , um , you 're really good at social media , but you suck at reading people . theo : if you say so . nick : i 'm surprised to see you today . did you have some presents you wanted to drop off for summer ? phyllis : no , um ... yeah , i just wanted to tell you something . um ... nick : is this about locking in the details for tomorrow ? phyllis : [ exhales sharply ] yeah , i think it 's so lovely , what you 're doing , having the whole family over for christmas . nick : well , ' tis the season , right ? phyllis : yeah . nick : peace on earth , goodwill toward men . phyllis : i wanted to embrace that sentiment , um , and leave the drama behind . nick : what do you mean , you wanted to ? did you change your mind ? phyllis : you know , i just think it 's best if summer and i spend christmas together . i already talked to summer about it , and she 's fine with it . nick : well , i 'm not . phyllis : okay . uh , i just think it 's best if summer and i , um , have a mother / daughter brunch and open gifts christmas morning , and then she could spend the rest of the time with her family . you know , it 's the best of both worlds . nick : no , it is not . phyllis : okay , well , that 's the way it 's gon na be . nick : what is going on ? why are you canceling ? phyllis : i did n't know that you invited adam . nick : well , i did n't think it was gon na be a problem , considering you guys are such good buds . phyllis : we 're not good buds . we 're not . and i really admire that you 're trying to take the high road for your kids but [ sighs ] i 'll be damned if i 'm gon na stand around the christmas tree singing christmas carols with adam . chelsea : sorry about that . adam : well , santa 's got to have his cookies . chelsea : [ sighs ] i realize how important this trip is to you . adam : yeah , well , it 's the farm , so ... chelsea : i know . but i can't . adam : [ sighs ] are you afraid ? chelsea : afraid ? [ chuckles ] what -- what would i have to be afraid of ? adam : of the things that you might feel when we go there . chelsea : no , adam . no . adam : it 's okay . i understand . i mean , it 's the place where we started our life together ... you know , standing in the spot where we promised each other everything . i can see how that would be overwhelming for you . it is for me , too , when i think about that day ... and how i felt ... and the vows that we exchanged . chelsea : stop . please . adam : i will never forget the way that you looked at me . it was like everything i loved about you was right there in your eyes . your strength [ chuckles ] your flaws , your beauty -- it was all right there staring back at me . you know , i 'd give anything for you to look at me like that again ... because i love you . chelsea : [ sighs ] adam -- adam : i do . i love you , chelsea . hey ! it 's me ! your dry skin ! `` the young and the restless `` will continue . `` the young and the restless `` will continue . billy : okay , the kids are all packed up , ready to go . victoria : did you remember their toothbrushes ? billy : toothbrushes , hairbrushes , hair clips , hair ties , the whole deal . checked the list twice . victoria : what about the -- billy : blankies ? n the backpacks , which are both right here . victoria : and you said you did n't do enough . billy : i had to catch up . victoria : oh , i hope we 're not forgetting anything . billy : if we did , we 'll just get it when we get there . victoria : okay , i spoke with the pilot . he 's ready and waiting . billy : okay , well , hannah should be back with the kids and we 'll load this up and we 'll be good to go . victoria : i 'm so excited ! billy : [ laughs ] i am excited , maybe not quite as excited as you , but ... no , listen , the more i think about this , i realize this is exactly what we need . mmm . victoria : mmm . [ chuckles ] [ cellphone chimes ] billy : let me get that . [ clears throat ] oh , no . [ sighs ] chelsea : adam , i know you may think you love me . adam : i do . chelsea : no . you 're confused . adam : no , i am not . i am seeing things more clearly than i have in a long time . chelsea : no , you 're just overwhelmed with emotion . we are consumed with worry about our son , living here as a family for his sake . the lines have gotten blurred , and so you 're confusing your worry for him -- adam : okay . okay . just stop right there . do not tell me how i feel . i know exactly how i feel . the question is , do you ? nick : why 'd you do the 180 without him ? phyllis : um , i do n't know . i think i just started believing what everybody else knows about adam . nick : what , that he 's a selfish , egotistical , narcissistic , psychopathic freak ? phyllis : i could deal with that . [ chuckles ] no , it 's just , he does n't know , um , what it means to be a friend . nick : why is that surprising ? he has a complete lack of empathy . phyllis : yeah , he definitely does n't see people as people . you 're either useful to him , or you 're not . nick : what 'd he do ? seriously , say the word , and i 'll beat the crap out of him . phyllis : [ laughs ] i was just stupid to believe i mattered . i can usually read people better than this . nick : well , do n't beat yourself up . he 's a lot better at fooling them . phyllis : yeah . yeah . so , we 're good about tomorrow ? nick : adam is the one who should n't be coming . phyllis : yeah . it 's fine . do n't worry about it . nick : i just -- i hate it that you do n't want to be here to celebrate because of him . phyllis : it 's -- it 's okay . just let it alone . i 'll be fine . nick : no , you should be here with summer . phyllis : uh , can we just not talk about this anymore , please ? nick : phyllis , the more you hold back , the more concerned i 'm getting , especially since connor and chelsea are currently living with him . phyllis : they 're not in any danger when it comes to adam . nick : well , if he 's going back to the dark side , i need to know about it . phyllis : nobody 's in danger , okay ? the only thing that is hurt are my feelings -- that 's it -- and my pride . that 's it . nick : well , i 'm not letting you leave here until you tell me what went down with adam . phyllis : [ chuckles ] what , are you gon na force it out of me ? nick : maybe i will . what 's going on ? phyllis : he wanted me to seduce you . nick : what ? phyllis : yeah . he figured if we hooked up , um , that would be the end of you and chelsea and she would go running back into his arms . theo : well , i think that covers everything . i 'll be in my office if you need me . summer : theo , wait . theo : yeah ? summer : uh , kyle is not threatened by you because he does n't have any reason to be . jack is his dad , he is co - ceo , he 's heir apparent , and he 's got a devoted wife who -- oh , my god . that 's totally it . theo : what ? summer : lola . she 's the reason why you 're not gon na go celebrate with the abbotts . you ca n't stand the thought of having to watch her and kyle have their first christmas as husband and wife . theo : you 've been hitting the eggnog too hard . summer : no . i 'm right . you do n't want to have to sit there and watch them open presents together and kiss under the mistletoe while you pine away . or did you not go because you know lola does n't want you hovering around like a little lovesick puppy dog ? theo : if lola had a problem hanging out with me , she 'd tell me . summer : yeah , you 're right . she would . huh . theo : now what ? summer : i just find it interesting that lola 's okay with you hanging out , even though she knows kyle would n't like it . billy : i understand . i 'll handle it . okay , i 'll call you soon as everything 's finalized . thanks . well , you know that deal i was consulting on ? victoria : yeah . the one that was almost finalized ? billy : yeah , well , not so much anymore . victoria : ah , let me guess . it 's not . billy : no . the other team 's side has a whole list of new demands . victoria : i guess they never heard the dickens story . billy : i do n't think they care about christmas ghosts , honey . victoria : well , ca n't this wait until after the holiday ? billy : trust me , i would love to , but this is a multimillion - dollar deal . i ca n't leave them high and dry . plus , if i screw this up , i 'm out of a gig . victoria : okay , i will call the pilot , and i 'll delay the flight until later this evening . billy : no , no , no , let 's not do that , okay ? hold on . the kids are so excited to go . they 're all packed up , okay ? reed 's already on his way . plus , you should be there to meet him . victoria : you 're right . billy : okay , let 's just go as scheduled . victoria : are you sure you 're okay going -- billy : i will be there in the morning before anybody even opens their presents , okay ? victoria : i do n't want to spend christmas without you . billy : you won't . i promise . nick : that bastard has gone too far this time . phyllis : um , i do n't think `` too far `` is the thing for adam . nick : he tried to get you to break me and chelsea up . if he thought he could manipulate either one of us , it just proves he 's as stupid as he is despicable . phyllis : you 're not surprised , are you ? he tried to take your son . now he 's trying to take chelsea . nick : probably found out we were all gon na be together for christmas , so he wanted to use the situation to his advantage . phyllis : uh , no . he -- he asked me to do this before you invited me . nick : what ? why did you say anything ? phyllis : well , i was going to . i even went looking for you , but then i decided not to . nick : why ? phyllis : because i did n't want to be the one to blow things up this time . i mean , imagine the scenario . i tell you . then you go to adam , and you try to beat the crap out of him . and that 's not such a far - fetched scenario . nick : no , it 's not . but you should have said something . phyllis : you told me to butt out of your relationship with chelsea . i was just doing what you asked . nick : that 's a cop - out . phyllis : no , it 's not . maybe it is . nick , you know that adam is trying to win chelsea back . we talked about this . i figured there was no real reason to tell you this information . nick : i really thought he 'd try and use connor , you know , to take advantage , but this -- this is a whole new level of sickness , even for him . phyllis : alright , so -- so , what if i went to you and i said , `` this is information you had to know `` ? would you have believed me ? or would you have questioned my motives , like you 're doing right now ? nick : [ sighs ] phyllis : yeah , i thought so . adam : [ sighs ] maybe you 're not ready to admit it , or maybe you 're just -- you 're afraid . but it is there , chelsea , that connection that has always been there between us . i mean , that is what brought us together . it 's what gave us connor . and that bond , those emotions that we felt for each other -- sure , they might 've got buried when you thought you lost me . but those feelings have never gone away . and i know you feel it just like i do . chelsea : i do feel something for you . of course . how could i not ? i mean , we share a history . we share a son , so we 'll always be connected because of him . adam : no , you know that is not what i 'm talking about . chelsea : i love nick , adam . i love nick . adam : okay , because he 's safe and he 's easy . chelsea : no . no . adam : there is no risk with nick . he can not break your heart , chelsea , because he does n't have it . chelsea : stop , adam , please . stop . i love nick , okay ? you need to accept that . man : sneezes theo : hey , hold on . summer , i 'm warning you . do n't go stirring up trouble where there is n't any . summer : okay , if there 's nothing going on between the two of you , then what are you so worried about ?

[ scene_break ] kate : i 'd like to know what the holdup is . lucas said they were set . chelsea : they 'll be out soon , okay ? kate : i do n't know how the hell -- chelsea : shh ! come on .

[ scene_break ] billie : i am well aware of the fact that chelsea could be in trouble , and i also know that when chelsea is hurt or disappointed , she lashes out . but she is hurt and disappointed in her mother . why would she lash out at you and bo ? why would she do that ? why ca n't bo see that ? hope : bo is ... being a good cop . billie : what about being a good dad and believing in your kid ? hope : all right , now , that is not fair . given chelsea 's history and the fact that she was around the house at the time of the fire -- billie , bo has to follow that lead . it 's not like he considers it an open - and - shut case . billie : oh , that 's reassuring . what do you think ? hope : i told you . billie : you do n't want to rush to judgment . but what about what 's in your heart , hope ? i mean , do you really think that chelsea is capable of such a thing ? hope : i do n't want to believe it . i thought i saw changes in her , positive changes . but now i 'm not sure , not really . billie , i came over here hoping to find answers . billie : well , if you want answers , you 're gon na have to talk to chelsea .

[ scene_break ] kate : chelsea , your mother is a beautiful , sexy woman , but she is also human , and nick is human , and there are a lot of temptations in this world . chelsea : i ca n't even believe that you are defending her right now . kate : i 'm not . but she made a mistake , and she would n't have done it except that she was in a very bad place mentally , and , also , she took a drink . and besides that , she had no idea that you were interested in nick romantically , chelsea . chelsea : yeah , neither did i . so what 's his excuse ? because he was totally sober , and he claimed to be in love with me . kate : actually , that brings me to another little theory that i have that men are basically idiots , and they 're , at times , not ruled by their heart or their brain but by another part of their anatomy entirely . chelsea : so , what , so you 're saying i should just forgive nick because he 's a guy and he ca n't help but be a jerk ? kate : no , but you need to forgive your mother because it 's the right thing to do and she deserves it . and as for nick , i mean , do what you want . the other good thing about being a woman is that you can make men suffer for their transgressions whether you take them back or not . chelsea : oh , believe me , nick 's suffering . kate : but i do n't want you to obsess about this . it 's a waste of time . life is too short . either get on with it or get over it . you -- you need to be in charge . you are a woman . chelsea : right . kate : no , no , no , no , no . hey , i 'm serious here . i want to hear you say it . `` i am a woman . `` chelsea : i am a woman . kate : that 's a little better . i think you 're going to be all right .

[ scene_break ] gabby : um , i 'm sorry . shawn d. : for what ? gabby : i 'm not usually the type of person who gets involved in other people 's business . shawn d. : but , gabby , it 's not like we showed up on this island as tourists . you got a right to ask questions . gabby : yeah , a little too much , i think , at least for belle . and when i noticed she did n't have a ring on her finger -- shawn d. : oh , she does . actually , it 's the size of a small country . gabby : really ? wow because she told me -- shawn d. : it 's not from me . it 's from her ex - husband , the guy who 's chasing us . gabby : jeez , no wonder things are so tense . shawn d. : yeah . you know , i thought that things were gon na turn out okay , once we were away from philip we could start a whole new life together . to tell you the truth , things have n't really worked out that way at all . [ scene_break ] philip : why do n't we exchange information , keep each other informed ? if i find him , i 'll let you know . if you do , the same with applies . does that sound like a plan to you ? e.j . : a splendid one . you have yourself a partner . would n't it be amazing if we both were hoping for the same ends ? philip : i would n't be the least bit surprised . [ scene_break ] gabby : hey , shawn . um , even though things have n't quite worked out the way you wanted , you still love her , though . shawn d. : yeah . yeah , i do . gabby : and she loves you ? shawn d. : yeah . i - i think so . gabby : you think ? she has n't told you ? you have n't asked her ? shawn d. : we 're not exactly there yet . the main reason -- the most important reason we 're together is claire . but we 're gon na stay together , at least until she 's safe from philip , so we got plenty of time to figure things out . i told her i 'd be patient . gabby : that ca n't be easy for a guy like you . i mean , you know , a guy who can practically have any girl he wanted , any time , right ? shawn d. : yeah , go ahead and send me a bill for that one . gabby : no , i 'm serious . somebody who is as sweet and smart and brave and funny and smoking hot . wow . that was completely inappropriate , was n't it ? i am so sorry . i should just shut up . shawn d. : no , gabby , no . i appreciate the compliment . gabby : okay . what i meant to say was this . a guy who has as much going for him as you should at least know where he stands . do n't you think ?

[ scene_break ] lucas : you know , that does sound great . i 'm not gon na argue with you ladies . a green wedding is nice . but i do n't think we should switch to a green wedding or any other color wedding , because the arrangements have been made already . sami : i mean , they can be unmade , lucas . we 're talking about melting ice caps here and endangered grizzly bears . lucas : grizzly bears ? i got to talk you into recycling cans . we 're talking about grizzly bears right now ? sami : it 's never too late to change your life , lucas . lucas : yeah , especially if you 're gon na get a little publicity out of it . sami : lucas -- cydney : i really did n't mean to start any trouble here . sami : it 's no trouble . it is n't any trouble . my future husband wants to save the world , the environment , just as much as i do . lucas : yeah .

[ scene_break ] julian : ethan , i understand you and gwen wanting to raise jane away from theresa , because sadly , it probably is the only way you two will ever have peace in your lives . ethan : then you 'll see what you can do ? julian : i 'm not sure how quickly a move at your level could be accomplished , but i will do my best . ethan : thank you , julian . thank you . julian : anything for you , ethan , you know that . sheridan : ethan . are you sure about leaving harmony ? this is your home . your friends and family are here . gwen 's , too ethan : sheridan , i know . i know it is going to be hard on us . but it 's going to be harder if we stay here . you know theresa ; she 's relentless . and my hope is once gwen and jane and myself are gone , theresa will be able to free herself and little ethan of alistair . and then she 'll be able to move on ... and be happy with someone else . sheridan : so are you saying that this move is more for theresa than it is for gwen ? ethan : i 'm not sure about that . all i know is gwen wants it , theresa needs it , i need it , too . sheridan : because you still have feelings for theresa ? ethan : [ laughs ] i suppose there 's no secret in that anymore . sheridan : then i do n't think leaving harmony will do you any good . ethan : why not ? sheridan : look , ethan , i know that you love gwen , but if you still have feelings for theresa , then you could move to minsk and she 'll still be in your heart . ethan : are you suggesting that gwen and i actually stay here ? sheridan : all i am saying is that there is no way you 're going to get away from theresa if you carry her in your heart . [ scene_break ] theresa : ok , how can ethan help you keep your secret safe that 's about him when he does n't even know what the secret is ? gwen : oh , you 'll see . believe me , you will see . the truth is , theresa , ethan is never going to find out that my mother and i are the ones who tipped the tabloids . i 've made sure of it . theresa : and people say i 'm conniving . gwen : theresa , because you are . you and my mother are exactly alike in that way , ok ? because it was entirely her idea to tip the tabloids from your computer . because let 's not forget here that you also knew the truth about ethan 's paternity and i did not want to go along with it , but i agreed because i was desperate to stop you from stealing ethan away from me . and you of all people know what it 's like to be in a desperate situation . listen , not a day goes by i do n't regret turning ethan 's life upside - down , but you drove me to it , just like you 're driving me to do what i 'm going to do now . theresa : what are you talking about ? gwen : you 'll find out soon enough . the bottom line is i am not going to lose ethan to you . not now , not ever . and if i have to keep it a secret what i did , if i have to live with the guilt and the regret in order to keep ethan , i 'm gon na do it . because i hate like hell lying to him , but i 'd hate it a lot more if i had to lose him . theresa : gwen , you are going to lose ethan . the truth always comes out . alistair will recover and he 'll tell ethan what you did . and even if alistair does n't recover , well , i 'll find the proof and just tell ethan myself . gwen : see , theresa , i 'm not going to let that happen . theresa : you ca n't stop it , gwen . but you know what you can do ? you can give ethan up now . you can step aside now before things get any worse . and you 'll never have to tell him what you did . you can save yourself in ethan 's eyes . gwen : oh , sweetheart , i do not need saving . theresa : oh , but you do , gwen . yeah , you really , really , really do . look , deep down in your heart , you know ethan 's going to be mine again . you might as well make it easier for all of us and just let me have him now . [ scene_break ] fancy : how do you know what my boyfriend 's ex wrote to him ? maya : who has n't written something like that ? if a man tells a woman that he 'll never love anyone as much as he loves her , it just seems he 'd go on to say that no other woman would ever mean as much to him as she did . right ? fancy : right . you must think i 'm a total flake . first i bump into you , then i talk your ear off about my boyfriend . maya : i do n't mind . sometimes it 's easier to talk to a stranger . fancy : you do seem to get where i 'm coming from . maya : i know it must be hard for you knowing about this other woman in your boyfriend 's past , knowing he gave his heart to her before he opened it to you . of course , assuming he really gave his heart to her and was n't just stringing her along . you never know with a man , do you ? fancy : i thought i did . maya : forgive me for being blunt , but after hearing about this other woman , i have to wonder if your boyfriend wo n't commit to you because he 's afraid to or if it 's because he 's still committed to this other woman . fancy : but he said he has n't seen her in years . maya : that does n't mean that she still is n't in his heart . fancy : he has kept her letter . maya : look , if he has n't seen her in years , he probably did n't mean what he said about never loving anyone as much as her . promises rarely mean the same s thing to men as they do to us . but i 'm sure your boyfriend 's different . i need to be on my way . it was nice to have met you . fancy : you , too . noah is different . promises mean everything to him . noah is definitely a man of his word . at least he has been so far .

[ baby crying ] kay : maria 's awake . i have to go to her . fox : i 'll go with you . kay : no , no , no . tabitha : no . fox : why ? kay : because she gets really excited when she sees you and i might not be able to get her back to sleep . fox : yeah , i suppose you 're right . i 'll just wait here for you . kay : no ! no ! no , i mean -- you do n't have to . it might take me awhile to get her back to sleep . tabitha : she could be up there for hours . kay : yeah , and i would feel really bad just having you wait here for me . fox : yeah . look , here 's the thing , though , what i want to talk to you about is really , really important . so i do n't care how long i have to wait . i 'll wait here all night if i have to . tabitha : oh , my devil . fox : ok ? [ scene_break ] ethan : look , i know what you 're saying . i appreciate your concern , but i love gwen and i 'm committed to gwen . it 's just that a part of me will always love theresa , too . sheridan : i understand . [ sighs ] if you have to leave harmony with gwen , i 'm going to miss you both very much . but i know that you need to do what you think is best . ethan : what other choice do i have ? sheridan : you know the answer to that . whether you do it or not is up to you . [ scene_break ] theresa : you know i 'm going to get ethan back , so is n't it just easier for you to step aside now before ethan learns what you and rebecca did and how you destroyed his life ? gwen : you 're insane if you think i 'm just going to hand my husband over to you . theresa : well , let 's not make this about me , gwen , when this is really about ethan . you did a nasty , nasty thing to him . you took away his name , his identity , his entire future when you cost him his destiny as a crane . now , unlike you , i have never intentionally hurt ethan because i love him . gwen : you 've never intentionally hurt ethan ? are you kidding me ? you have done far worse and then some to ethan and to me . you are responsible for the death of my daughter , my unborn son . you poisoned my husband . you almost killed him . so the one thing that i did that i regret pales in comparison to the horrendous things you 've done to us . theresa : i do n't think ethan 's going to see it that way . gwen : i think he might , and that 's a chance i 'm willing to take . theresa : ok , ok . but do n't say that i did n't give you a chance to spare you and ethan a lot of heartache by bowing out of his life now . gwen : you are so mental , it 's frightening . theresa : look , we live in the same house , gwen , so i 'm going to be watching your every move . you make a mistake , i 'll be there to exploit it . i will bring you down , gwen , and soon .

[ scene_break ] fancy : how do you know what my boyfriend 's ex wrote to him ? maya : who has n't written something like that ? if a man tells a woman that he 'll never love anyone as much as he loves her , it just seems he 'd go on to say that no other woman would ever mean as much to him as she did . right ? fancy : right . you must think i 'm a total flake . first i bump into you , then i talk your ear off about my boyfriend . maya : i do n't mind . sometimes it 's easier to talk to a stranger . fancy : you do seem to get where i 'm coming from . maya : i know it must be hard for you knowing about this other woman in your boyfriend 's past , knowing he gave his heart to her before he opened it to you . of course , assuming he really gave his heart to her and was n't just stringing her along . you never know with a man , do you ? fancy : i thought i did . maya : forgive me for being blunt , but after hearing about this other woman , i have to wonder if your boyfriend wo n't commit to you because he 's afraid to or if it 's because he 's still committed to this other woman . fancy : but he said he has n't seen her in years . maya : that does n't mean that she still is n't in his heart . fancy : he has kept her letter . maya : look , if he has n't seen her in years , he probably did n't mean what he said about never loving anyone as much as her . promises rarely mean the same s thing to men as they do to us . but i 'm sure your boyfriend 's different . i need to be on my way . it was nice to have met you . fancy : you , too . noah is different . promises mean everything to him . noah is definitely a man of his word . at least he has been so far .

[ baby crying ] kay : maria 's awake . i have to go to her . fox : i 'll go with you . kay : no , no , no . tabitha : no . fox : why ? kay : because she gets really excited when she sees you and i might not be able to get her back to sleep . fox : yeah , i suppose you 're right . i 'll just wait here for you . kay : no ! no ! no , i mean -- you do n't have to . it might take me awhile to get her back to sleep . tabitha : she could be up there for hours . kay : yeah , and i would feel really bad just having you wait here for me . fox : yeah . look , here 's the thing , though , what i want to talk to you about is really , really important . so i do n't care how long i have to wait . i 'll wait here all night if i have to . tabitha : oh , my devil . fox : ok ? [ scene_break ] ethan : look , i know what you 're saying . i appreciate your concern , but i love gwen and i 'm committed to gwen . it 's just that a part of me will always love theresa , too . sheridan : i understand .

[ scene_break ] theresa : you know i 'm going to get ethan back , so is n't it just easier for you to step aside now before ethan learns what you and rebecca did and how you destroyed his life ? gwen : you 're insane if you think i 'm just going to hand my husband over to you . theresa : well , let 's not make this about me , gwen , when this is really about ethan . you did a nasty , nasty thing to him . you took away his name , his identity , his entire future when you cost him his destiny as a crane . now , unlike you , i have never intentionally hurt ethan because i love him . gwen : you 've never intentionally hurt ethan ? are you kidding me ? you have done far worse and then some to ethan and to me . you are responsible for the death of my daughter , my unborn son . you poisoned my husband . you almost killed him . so the one thing that i did that i regret pales in comparison to the horrendous things you 've done to us . theresa : i do n't think ethan 's going to see it that way . gwen : i think he might , and that 's a chance i 'm willing to take . theresa : ok , ok . but do n't say that i did n't give you a chance to spare you and ethan a lot of heartache by bowing out of his life now . gwen : you are so mental , it 's frightening . theresa : look , we live in the same house , gwen , so i 'm going to be watching your every move . you make a mistake , i 'll be there to exploit it . i will bring you down , gwen , and soon .

[ sighs ] it was terrible . sage was yelling at me for not carrying out her dying wish . mariah : you 're feeling guilty about not telling nick the truth , so your subconscious is beating you up in your sleep . it 's just a dream . sharon : was it ? mariah : sage is dead . she 's not coming back . sharon : no , i know that . i watched her die . i was with her when she took her last breath . mariah : then what are you asking me ? sharon : sage is supposed to be resting in peace . but how can she ? how can -- how can there be any peace for her when i 'm still lying to everyone about her son ? phyllis : how did we get here ? how did we get in so deep ? billy : i think it 's called chemistry . phyllis : [ scoffs ] chemistry . you -- of all the men in the world to have chemistry with , it -- it was jack 's brother . i - i have a list 10 miles long of dumb moves i 've made in my life , and this tops it . billy : wow , that bad , huh ? phyllis : yeah . you 're the worst , i think . billy : well , thanks for making me feel all warms and fuzzy . phyllis : if you want to tell jack about us ... i ca n't do that until i figure us out . and i love him . but he deserves better from me , and i could have at least had the basic decency to not sleep with his brother . i mean , i do n't know what the hell is wrong with me . billy : you can blame it on a mutual tendency to self - sabotage . phyllis : oh , that 's not an excuse . billy : no , it 's not . but it worked for me for a while . i mean , i was able to not think about jack or what this might do to him . phyllis : when did that change ? billy : tonight . sitting at the table with the two of you , listening to bethany make those comments in front of him , it ... it was killing me . phyllis : me too . billy : [ sighs ] i got issues with my brother , but i do n't -- i do n't want him to hurt . what 's worse is seeing what this is doing to you . i ca n't stand it . because i want you . i want you here with me . phyllis : billy ... billy : you -- you do n't have to say anything , because i know that it ca n't happen . which is why ... we have to tell him . phyllis : and once he knows the truth ? billy : we ca n't pretend anymore . we ca n't get away with it . it 's the only way to end what 's going on between us . hilary : i did n't fake passing out for attention or sympathy or whatever insane motive you 're ascribing to me . lily : well , then why do n't you go to the hospital to get checked out ? hilary : because i do n't -- lily : oh , wait . i know why . because you know damn well the doctors will say that nothing 's wrong with you . that 's why . hilary : i know what 's wrong with me . jack : what ? hilary : you know , i skipped lunch , and i did n't have dinner , and my blood sugar is low . lily yelling at me like a lunatic is n't helping matters . cane , can you please just get us a waiter ? um , there 's some business that i still need to wrap up with jack . cane : sure . jack : you know what , work can wait . you need to take it easy . let me get you up to your suite , and then i will order you some room service . hilary : no , i ca n't impose on you like that , jack . jack : you 're not imposing . i want to help . hilary : all right . if you insist . jack : yeah . come on . slowly . slowly . use the rail . dr. neville : dylan , am i being charged with something ? dylan : i mean , it depends on the answers i get . dr. neville : well , what is it you think i did ? dylan : well , uh , this lab tech received a large sum of money , and the money was traced back to the medical - research project that you and ashley are running . dr. neville : how large a sum ? dylan : well , more than this guy would see in several years . dr. neville : and you think he , what , killed himself because he was caught with this money ? dylan : well , i mean , there 's a lot of factors at play . we 're still waiting on toxicology and medical reports . um , the guy did seem a little unstable , but right now i 'm just concerned about the fraud and the bribe . when i talked to hilary , she did say that she pays the employees based on reports that you give her . dr. neville : uh ... dylan : right ? dr. neville : i guess that 's so , yes . dylan : okay . then she claims that she does not have any personal contact with the medical staff , that you are involved with everybody in the testing procedures . is that correct ? dr. neville : to a certain extent . [ sighs ] detective ... ashley : yes , that 's how things are usually handled with our project , but not this time . dylan : not this time . what 's different this time ? ashley : i took it upon myself to meet with this lab tech . and then i altered the payroll report . dr. neville : ashley , do n't . ashley : i have to do this . i offered that man a huge amount of money . dylan : in return for ? ashley : falsifying the research results before they were sent to the fda . mariah : sharon , have you taken your meds today ? sharon : yes , mariah . this is not about that . mariah : are you sure that you have n't been skipping any days ? sharon : i promise you i have stuck to my regimen , okay ? this was a nightmare . it 's not about having visions of sage . i 'm not losing it . this is about sully . mariah : okay , what -- sharon : and not telling anyone the truth . that is wrong . mariah : what about all the reasons that you laid out for me ? that it 's what 's best for sully because you 're the only mother that he 's ever known , and it 's what 's best for dylan because he would be crushed if he lost that kid . sharon : he would . mariah : what about you telling me , convincing me that our family would be pulverized if nick found out that sully is his ? and now , because you had one scary dream , none of that 's important ? sharon : nick is important , too , and -- and so is the truth . this is so hard . mariah : okay . okay . so , you want to go there , let 's go there . but you have to think it through . so , say you follow some nightmare - provoked impulse and you decide to tell nick the truth . what happens ? sharon : nick would be so happy . mariah : and angry . dylan would ... he would fall apart . faith . and not to mention , seeing your family implode like that would probably send you spiraling out of control , which would be lousy for everyone . sharon : so i should n't tell nick the truth even if it 's the right thing to do ? mariah : no , i 'm not saying that . you just have to think it through . you have to consider all of the consequences for everyone , including yourself before you do anything . dr. neville : not another word . ms. abbott has nothing else to say without an attorney present . ashley : it 's okay , neville . dylan : so you 're admitting that you bribed the lab tech ? dr. neville : no , she 's not . ashley : yes , i am . is this where you read me my rights ? dylan : if i believed you . but your colleague here , he 's the one with the reputation for bucking the rules . ashley , you have integrity . think about what you 're saying right now . you 're telling me that you falsified medical reports , and you could put people 's lives in danger . why -- why would you risk that ? dr. neville : she would n't . why are you saying these things ? ashley : because this drug is gon na save people 's lives . you 're making a few minor adjustments . that 's what you 're working on right now . my actions are buying us time for you to make those adjustments . dylan : the patients ... ashley : they 're gon na meet the necessary milestones for the fda to pass this drug . i 'm certain of it . all i was doing ... i was just moving the numbers along so they would n't get bogged down in red tape . dylan : then you committed fraud . dr. neville : so what happens now ? dylan : oh , i got to go back to the chief . i got to tell him . he 's gon na pass the information along to the fda . and i guess you should be prepared to face criminal charges . dr. neville : [ sighs ] ashley : okay . just make sure that everybody knows that neville had nothing to do with this . these were my actions . because his work has to -- it has to remain above reproach . dylan : yeah , i 'll pass that along . dr. neville : what are you thinking ? ashley : i have to protect the project . i have to protect you . lily : god , men can be so clueless . i mean , hilary is so blatant about what she 's doing . cane : wow . you know , i actually resent being lumped in with these clueless men . 'cause , you know , i 'm one of the very few people who know how conniving she is . lily : well , then what 's wrong with jack ? and devon refuses to see who she really is . cane : here . you can call him , and you can tell him all about her latest and greatest . lily : yeah , about her fake fainting spell ? no , thank you . it 's just gon na feed into her games . and did you see jack 's reaction ? i 'm trying to tell him that she 's just targeting him as her next sugar daddy , but he wo n't listen . cane : that 's 'cause he has no reason to suspect she 's anything but above board . lily : yeah , but i told him . cane : sweetheart , sweetheart , he does not know that she 's blackmailing our entire family . as far as he 's concerned , she 's a devoted wife who 's doing great work at the foundation . so he has no reason to suspect anything otherwise . lily : well , he needs to open his eyes . otherwise his faith in hilary is gon na come back to bite him . [ drawer slams ] jack : okay , room service should be here momentarily . is there anything else i can do for you ? hilary : no . thank you , jack , for all of your help . i 'm feeling much better already , really . jack : you sure about that ? hilary : positive . come on , are you sure that you do n't want to get some work done ? jack : no , no , no . not tonight . though , if you have the energy , there is something i think we should talk about . hilary : anything . jack : earlier , lily accused you of looking to me for something more than a professional relationship . hilary : please , jack , you can not believe that . you ca n't believe that i view you as anything more than a business associate and a friend . jack : i would not bring any of this up were it not for a valentine 's day two years ago ... hilary : the delia benefit . jack : ... when you kissed me . hilary : please do n't remind me , okay ? it was very embarrassing . jack : we were business associates then , too . i want to make sure there is no misunderstanding between the two of us . hilary : there is n't , really . jack : i value your contribution to the foundation team . i appreciate our friendship . hilary : okay , jack -- jack : but i 'm a happily married man . hilary : jack , please , stop . okay . i know that you love phyllis , just like i love devon . there is absolutely no truth to lily 's accusation . jack : then why would she say that ? hilary : [ sighs ] because that woman has never liked me . this is what she does . she tries to poison people against me . jack : okay . that aside , you are clear on where i stand ? hilary : yes , i am . jack : okay . i 'm glad we straightened that out . hilary : but you 're -- you 're looking at me differently . you think that i 'm keeping something from you . jack : are you keeping something from me ? if we 're gon na work together , we need to be able to trust each other . hilary : there is something . it 's not what you think . the truth is , i lied downstairs . i 'm not fine . i 'm actually very sick . phyllis : all right , so that 's it . we will end it , um , you know , in a couple of days . once the dust settles -- billy : no , no , no . not a couple of days . we got to do it tonight . phyllis : tonight ? billy : yes , tonight . we only slept together once , and if we wait , then that 's ... [ sighs ] phyllis : okay , i get it . um , tonight . we 'll -- we 'll do that . i just ... i keep thinking of the pain that this is gon na cause jack . i do n't even know what to say . billy : just tell him the truth . we did n't mean for it to happen . it only happened the one time , and we feel like we have to come clean . phyllis : it does not make a difference how many sincere words we use or how regretful we are . he 's not gon na forgive us . billy : do n't underestimate how much my brother loves you . phyllis : i cheated on him before . i lost him . billy : and he 'll yell . and he 's gon na threaten . and he 's gon na get all righteous on you . and , in time , he will do what he always does . he will come back to you , because he does n't want a life without you . phyllis : what about you ? billy : i do n't want a life without you , either . think i 've made that pretty clear . phyllis : i do n't mean that . you do n't think jack 's gon na forgive you , either . billy : why should jack forgive me ? phyllis : because he is your brother . billy : right now , i 'm just the other guy . i 've gone behind jack 's back , i 've let him down before , but this is new territory , phyllis . phyllis : no , this is n't a joke . billy : i 'm not making a joke . i 'm just telling you the truth . he 's been very close to giving up on me a couple times , but this time , i have crossed the line . i have finally done something that not even my brother can forgive . dr. neville : you must be out of your beautiful mind . lying to the police ? admitting to a fraud ? ashley : you were about to do the same thing . dr. neville : well , i 'll find some way out of it . ashley : there is no way out of it . one of us had to fall on our swords . better me than you . dr. neville : why ? this has nothing to do with you . i 'm the one being blackmailed by hilary because i gave her the power to destroy me , not you . why should you be forced to pay a price for that ? [ sighs ] i wo n't let that happen . ashley : well , neither will i . dr. neville : oh , what , you have some kind of a plan ? ashley : listen , i 'm gon na count on the abbott name , okay ? and a great attorney who we have on retainer . hopefully he 'll be able to soften the ramifications for me . dr. neville : no , no . wait . even if that 's true -- even if that 's true , there 's no way you 'll be allowed to continue with the drug trial . ashley : and i 'm gon na miss working with you . dr. neville : no . no . no , no , no , no , no . i 'll -- no , no , no . ashley : neville . neville . dr. neville : no , i will find another way out of it . just give me -- ashley : neville . you have to keep your license . dr. neville : at what cost to you ? i 'm not gon na let you do this . ashley : you 're the only one that can correct the imbalance in the meds and make sure that nobody else relapses . dr. neville : what , you think i can concentrate on that now ? ashley , they are going to arrest you . ashley : and do you want to repay me ? then you have to make sure that this drug trial is a success . you got to get back to the lab . you got to get to work . because lives are at stake . lily : is that about the deal you 're working on ? cane : yeah , this could be a big get for fenmore 's . lily : well , if you have to get back to work ... cane : i have to make a call . lily : yeah , that 's fine . why do n't you just go ? cane : you know what ? that can wait . come here . come here . why are you letting this get to you , mrs. ashby ? why ? why ? lily : listen , hilary is tearing my family apart , and now she 's moving on to jack . i think it 's gon na take more than a few minutes to make me feel better . cane : yeah ? well , would you feel better if i told you that i 'm just as frustrated as you are that hilary always gets the upper hand on us ? lily : i know , it 's like she just does what she wants and gets away with it . cane : mm . lily : and sometimes , like now , it feels like there 's nothing we can do to stop her . hilary : it appears that i am relapsing . jack : despite the drug that dr. neville gave you ? i thought ... hilary : everyone thought that my recovery would be permanent . but there is a very real possibility that i may slip back into a coma , or die . jack : so , what 's to be done ? hilary : well , we 're monitoring me . but fainting earlier , that 's an indication that i am getting worse . there were some other symptoms -- a tremor in my hand , some headaches . i thought it was nothing at first -- jack : and you discussed all of these with dr. neville ? hilary : yes , we spoke in confidence . he knows that there 's a problem with the drug . there are actually two other patients that are relapsing . jack : wait , my sister -- hilary : oh , no . from what i understand , everyone else is fine . including ashley . please , do n't be alarmed . and please ... i was hoping that you can keep this between us . i really do n't want devon to find out . jack : wait , you have n't told your husband ? hilary : no , not yet . and i would appreciate it if you did n't , either . phyllis : you are family . jack and you need each other . billy : that does n't change what i 've done . it does n't change what we need to do tonight , okay ? but whatever happens , this -- this is on me . this is not on you . phyllis : maybe we should n't . billy : no ! oh , no , no . i am not going to run from the consequences of my actions . i 'm not gon na do that . phyllis : okay , so we 're gon na run into the line of fire ? billy : we have to do this . phyllis : that 's not gon na happen . billy : we have to . phyllis : jack will be told . by me . alone . billy : what are you talking about ? i 'm not gon na let you do this alone . phyllis : you said it yourself -- he 's more likely to forgive me . if he does , i will try to get him to understand about you . billy : listen , i am not going to put you in the line of fire . phyllis : and i appreciate the vow of solidarity , i do . but this is my messed- up marriage . billy : we both did this , okay ? we both need to own it . phyllis : and if the both of us go to him together , it might be too much for him to take . billy : or maybe there 's safety in numbers . phyllis : i am the one ... billy : [ sighs ] phyllis : ... that broke my vows . jack should hear it from me . now , i am asking you to not fight me on this . i have to do this . alone . billy : no matter how much he yells at you ... just remember how much he loves you . phyllis : [ sighs ] okay , i should go . billy : so this is it , huh ? sharon : the guilt of this lie is eating away at me , mariah . i love sully like he 's my own flesh and blood . but he 's not . and that gets harder to live with every time i watch nick struggle with the loss of his wife and his son , every time i hear dylan mention what an incredible gift our son is . i ca n't bear the thought of destroying our family . but i ca n't go on like this , either . mariah : look , maybe you should talk to somebody . like a psychiatrist . sharon : no . a psychiatrist is what caused all this in the first place . that vindictive doctor who made me believe sully was my son . mariah : not all psychiatrists are crazed stalkers . sharon : it helps talking to you . mariah : and that 's great . i love that . but i 'm your kid . i 'm not your shrink . i 'm not very qualified to do many things , but i 'm definitely not qualified to do this , sharon . i 'm not enough . sharon : you have to be . i ca n't talk to anyone else about this . [ door closes ] dylan : ca n't talk to anyone else about what ? sharon : oh , mariah and i were just -- mariah : we were talking about sage . mariah : sharon and i were just talking about how much they 're missing sage at chelsea 's company . and , you know , chelsea never hired anybody after sage died , so sharon 's stuck covering both jobs . dylan : oh . [ sighs ] well , that 's a lot of work . mariah : yeah . i mean , it 's too much for one person to deal with , so sharon was thinking that maybe , uh , i could do it . dylan : are you qualified ? sharon : um ... mariah : i 'm qualified to do so many things that you do n't even know about . [ both chuckling nervously ] sharon : anyway , i was saying that i ca n't talk to anyone about this except mariah because i - i do n't want to seem insensitive suggesting a rehire when everyone 's still mourning sage . dylan : yeah . i know the two of you probably want to wait for the right time , but the truth is , it 's never really gon na feel like the right time to move on . phyllis : oh ! bethany : oh ! uh ... phyllis : bethany . oh . this is yours . bethany : thanks . phyllis : okay . well , i did n't know you were staying here . bethany : just for a couple nights . it 's a lot nicer than my apartment , you know , and since i 've got some money to burn thanks to you and billy , i figured why not treat myself . phyllis : oh , i 'm glad you 're benefiting from our misery . bethany : okay , you do n't have to get all attitudinal about it , all right ? i 'm not the one that put the squeeze on you and billy for the cash . you 're the one that practically begged me to take the money and act like his girlfriend . phyllis : hey , hey , hey ! how about lowering your voice ? bethany : all right . all i 'm saying is , if you wanted me to keep your secret , all you had to do was ask . phyllis : yeah , out of the kindness of your heart ? bethany : [ laughs ] well , i got to admit , the cash was a good incentive . but , i mean -- i mean , this is the most fun i 've had in a very long time . phyllis : yeah , well , the fun 's over . bethany : wait , why ? phyllis : because jack is knowing the truth tonight . bethany : does billy know ? phyllis : of course he does . bethany : and you 're thinking if you do this , then you can hit `` delete `` on you and billy and push `` reset `` on your marriage ? phyllis : well , i would n't put it like that , but ... yeah . that 's what i need to do . billy : you know how long i 've wanted this ? watching you ... fantasizing about you . wondering what it would be like . even when i was n't with you . picturing you in my mind . your skin . eyes . those lips . phyllis : damn it . if i would have just stopped ... just stopped to think . billy : we stopped a couple times and nothing changed . phyllis : i know , but it -- it should have . you know why ? because all of this , this is all just a mistake . a terrible , selfish mistake . and as far as i 'm concerned , none of it happened . okay ? because i will not be coming back here again . and whatever it is between us , whatever we have , this -- this ca n't go on . this has to be goodbye . lily : okay , thank you . ashley : hey . lily : hey . ashley : is hilary around by any chance ? lily : uh , not anymore . you just missed her big performance . ashley : why ? what 'd she do ? lily : well , she just pretended to faint so that jack would shower her with attention . ashley : are you sure it was an act ? lily : oh , so she has you fooled , too ? ashley : what do you mean `` too `` ? lily : well , i tried telling jack that hilary is just making a play on him in case things fall apart with devon . i mean , you can believe me or not . ashley : oh , i believe you . i think hilary is capable of just about anything . lily : thank you ! at least someone sees through her . jack is completely oblivious . ashley : where 's my brother right now ? lily : oh , he 's just upstairs in her suite , tending to a poor , ill hilary . jack : i wo n't say anything to anyone . it is your right to decide whether to share this news , and with whom . hilary : thank you , jack . jack : a little piece of advice , though -- tell your husband . hilary : i ca n't tell devon . not yet . jack : okay . i 'm gon na leave you and let you get some rest . i 'll check in with you later . hilary : thanks for taking such good care of me . jack : ash ! ashley : hi . jack : what are you doing here ? ashley : i have some business to discuss with hilary . what about you ? jack : well , hilary and i had some foundation work . i did n't realize she was so popular tonight . ashley : yeah , she is , huh ? jack : come on in . ashley : okay . see you later . hilary : what happened with dr. neville and the cops ? ashley : i bet you changed your mind about pointing the authorities in neville 's direction now that you realize that you do have a medical condition that only he can help you with . hilary : just tell me what happened . ashley : neville 's off the hook . hilary : what did he tell them ? ashley : he did n't tell them that you were behind the payoff , if that 's what you 're wondering . hilary : [ sighs ] okay . good . ashley : what you should be wondering , though , is what i told dylan . hilary : you talked to dylan ? ashley : i sure did . and i am so far away from being done with you . hilary : you told dylan that i was the one who paid off the lab tech ? ashley : no , but i so wanted to . especially when neville told me that you were blackmailing him . hilary : but he did n't tell you everything , did he ? ashley : he did n't tell me the identity of the kidnapper , no , although he does know who it is . and he made it very clear that he 's not gon na turn on you . i ca n't begin to tell you how frustrating that was . hilary : what do you want , ashley ? ashley : i took the blame for your dirty work . i said it was me . and that i acted alone . hilary : why would you do that ? ashley : because now you owe me . bethany : hi . billy : what the hell are you doing back here ? bethany : well , i figured you could use some company . billy : i actually , uh , prefer to drink alone , thank you very much . bethany : oh , that sounds healthy . listen , i ran into phyllis . she told me that she was going to tell your brother everything . billy : yes , after tonight , everything will change . bethany : well , is that such a bad thing ? i mean , no more sneaking around with your secret love . free to do whatever you want with whoever you want . billy : and `` whomever , `` you mean you . bethany : i mean , everybody already thinks we 're seeing each other , you know , so ... billy : [ sighs ] bethany : why not keep things going ? i mean , we could have so much fun together , you know ? we can go out for some laughs , or stay in . billy : is that what you want ? bethany : it is . billy : okay . why not , right ? bethany : yeah . billy : as long as you 're okay with every time i look at you , every time i touch you , every time i kiss you , every time i pull up your dress , i 'm gon na be wishing i was with phyllis . phyllis : hi . jack : did you think i did n't get your text ? phyllis : yeah , i was n't sure . jack : hey , something 's wrong . phyllis : there 's something i need to tell you . jack : what is it , red ? phyllis : there 's no easy way to do this , so if you would just let me say it . jack : okay . phyllis : jack , i slept with someone else . and not just someone . [ voice breaking ] it was billy . and i 'm so sorry . and it was just one time . it was just one time . and i regretted it . we both regretted it . i 'm so sorry . jack : that 's it ? i mean , you did n't want me to interrupt you before you were finished . i want to make sure you were done . [ breathing heavily ] i do n't know what to say . `` i 'm glad it was n't with nick this time . `` `` at least this time you kept it in the family . `` `` my own damn brother ? `` phyllis : jack ... jack : you cheated on me with my own brother . how did he do this ? how did he -- how did he pull this off ? phyllis : i do n't understand what you 're talking about . jack : did he get you drunk ? how did he get you in his bed ? did he drug you ? phyllis : jack , no . there is no excuse . jack : so this just happened . phyllis : it did . and i 'm sorry . i 'm so sorry . billy is too . jack : yeah , billy who was too much of a coward to face me himself . phyllis : billy wanted to be here . jack : after everything i did to try to get through to him . i was tough , i was kind , i was patient . i was stupid . and what is the payoff ? he slept with my wife ? assuming all the while , as he always does , that he could make a fool out of me and get away with it . phyllis : jack , it was n't like that . jack : do n't you dare defend him ! i 'm gon na kill that son of a bitch . phyllis : jack , no . jack , no ! phyllis : [ sighs ] excited to see your grandma ? yeah . dylan : well , maybe you should talk to chelsea about mariah picking up the slack at work . mariah : but sage ... dylan : sage ... i mean , she 's gone . and we all miss her . including chelsea , which is probably why she has n't filled the position yet . and i know it 's tough , but you got to keep moving forward . mariah : i mean , i guess it might be worth making the suggestion ? dylan : yeah , i think you should . and i think you would be awesome at that job . and i know your mom would love working with you . sharon : there 's no one else i 'd rather have by my side . mariah : i do n't know . chelsea might -- sharon : i will talk to chelsea . dylan : yeah , i 'm sure nobody 's gon na take offense . even sage would understand . i mean , you two have nothing to feel guilty about . [ smooches ] i 'm gon na go upstairs , kiss sully . lily : i mean , knowing ashley is on our side where hilary is concerned ... cane : just makes you feel better , huh ? lily : yeah . it just gives me hope that if other people can see through her , then maybe eventually jack and devon will , too . cane : and then maybe the tight grasp that hilary has over us will start to loosen . hm ? lily : [ scoffs ] hilary : i think i can guess what 's number one on your list of demands . ashley : hm . hilary : you want me to step away from the medical trial . ashley : exactly . you 're going to let neville run everything . i 'd love to help , but i do n't think they 're gon na allow me since i took the blame for the fraudulent test results . and guess what number two is ? hilary : jack . ashley : exactly again . you stay the hell away from my brother . billy : i 'm sorry . i did n't mean to go off on you like that . bethany : it 's okay . billy : no , it 's not okay . you 're ... you 're sweet . you do n't deserve that . just ... just go , okay ? stop wasting your time on me . bethany : hey . i really like you , okay ? and i feel really bad that you 're torn up over this . but you 're gon na get over phyllis . billy : will i ? bethany : you will . i mean , you guys ca n't be together , so you 're gon na have to try and move on . billy : stop , stop . okay ? i ca n't . bethany : why not ? billy : because , damn it . because i love her . phyllis : [ gasps ] jack : whoa , you 're jumpy . everything all right ? i got your text . what 'd you want to talk to me about ? [ next_on ] victoria : you were lying to me behind my back -- and here 's the very best part -- about who you really were . have you been honest with me about anything ? jack : you 're upset about billy ? what is -- has he done something to you ? chelsea : i know what i 'm talking about here . | ashley admits to dylan that she falsified the test results of the drug trial in order to protect dr. neville and the project although simon does n't want ashley to take the blame for hilary 's actions . hilary faints and tells jack she is having a relapse and could return to a coma or die , and she asks him not to tell devon . ashley tells hilary that she is taking the blame for her , but she wants hilary to step away from the drug trial and let dr. neville run the project . ashley also asks hilary to stay away from jack . billy and phyllis decide that she must tell jack the truth about their one - night stand before bethany slips and does it . billy admits to bethany that he is in love with phyllis , but bethany tells billy that he must get over phyllis and she wants to be the woman to help him do it because she likes him . sharon has a nightmare that sage is begging her to tell nick that sully is baby christian . mariah advises sharon to think things through before she tells nick that adam & sage are christian 's parents . | <s>[INST] phyllis : you want to tell jack about us ? that we slept together ? billy : we do n't have a choice . phyllis : you are forcing the choice . if you tell jack , he will divorce me . billy : come on . my brother 's not an idiot . he 's not gon na let you go . phyllis : let me go . [ stammers ] i - i love him . billy : this is the only way that we can fix this , phyllis . okay , we -- we have -- we have to tell him . we have to tell him today . phyllis : why ? billy : because he 's going to find out . somebody 's gon na tell him . and it might even be bethany . phyllis : oh , she 's not gon na do that . billy : she might not do it intentionally , but you saw her tonight , okay ? my -- my pretend girlfriend , her mouth does n't bypass her brain . she does n't have a filter . look , if ... if we tell jack , if we tell him now , at least we can explain . phyllis : explain ? how do i explain to my husband when i do n't even know what this is between us ? jack : hilary ? hilary , you okay ? lily : hi . a woman just fainted at the athletic club , and we ca n't get her to -- no , yeah , she 's breathing . jack : thank god . hilary , are you all right ? lily : oh , well , wait . her eyes just opened up . is she okay ? hilary : what -- what happened ? cane : you passed out . do n't move , do n't move . jack : no , no . just take it easy . the paramedics are on their way , okay ? hilary : no . no , no , no . i do n't need that . i 'm fine . i 'm fine . cane : you were unconscious . hilary : i 'm okay . really , i 'm okay . um , can you just help me up , please ? jack : yeah . no , here . take it slow . take it slow . lily : yeah , it 's okay . never mind . it seems like the emergency was n't an emergency , after all . thank you . well , told you she was faking it . dylan : you have been a difficult man to track down , dr. neville . ashley said you 'd be at the hospital , but nobody had seen you . dr. neville : oh , well , certainly because , uh , ms. abbot was unaware that i had detoured here for a much - needed drink . dylan : mm . dr. neville : until we bumped into each other . ashley : and i told him that the police wanted to talk to him . dr. neville : uh , so , i mean , now that we 're all here , how can i be of service , detective ? dylan : you know this guy ? dr. neville : of course . he 's the , uh , medical lab technician . he 's been working on our drug trial . why ? dylan : because he 's dead . he killed himself earlier today . dr. neville : i 'm sorry to hear that . it 's a tragic waste . uh , not that i knew the man very well , but he was good at his job . dylan : which was what , exactly ? dr. neville : he ran the patients ' blood work , and was responsible for sending the results off to the fda . dylan : why did n't you run the blood work yourself ? ashley : well , it 's normal operating procedure . you know , you just use an -- an independent laboratory just to make sure there 's no improprieties for the testing . dylan : but there 's ways around that , right ? like paying a guy to alter the reports before they 're sent off ? is that what you did , dr. neville ? sage : wake up , sharon . i said wake up ! sharon : sage ? sage : how could you do this to me ? my dying wish was that you tell nick the truth . that sully is christian . sharon : i could n't do it . i could n't break dylan 's heart and lose my son . sage : he 's my son ! and nick 's . sharon : i love that little boy . sage : if you love him , tell the truth . my precious boy is being kept from his real father , and my husband is mourning a child he never lost because you are cruel and you are selfish . how do you live with yourself ? mariah : hey . sharon : [ gasps ] mariah : what are you looking for ? sharon : her ... mariah : who ? mariah : what do you mean you saw sage ? sharon : in a dream . [ sighs ] it was terrible . sage was yelling at me for not carrying out her dying wish . mariah : you 're feeling guilty about not telling nick the truth , so your subconscious is beating you up in your sleep . it 's just a dream . sharon : was it ? mariah : sage is dead . she 's not coming back . sharon : no , i know that . i watched her die . i was with her when she took her last breath . mariah : then what are you asking me ? sharon : sage is supposed to be resting in peace . but how can she ? how can -- how can there be any peace for her when i 'm still lying to everyone about her son ? phyllis : how did we get here ? how did we get in so deep ? billy : i think it 's called chemistry . phyllis : [ scoffs ] chemistry . you -- of all the men in the world to have chemistry with , it -- it was jack 's brother . i - i have a list 10 miles long of dumb moves i 've made in my life , and this tops it . billy : wow , that bad , huh ? phyllis : yeah . you 're the worst , i think . billy : well , thanks for making me feel all warms and fuzzy . phyllis : if you want to tell jack about us ... i ca n't do that until i figure us out . and i love him . but he deserves better from me , and i could have at least had the basic decency to not sleep with his brother . i mean , i do n't know what the hell is wrong with me . billy : you can blame it on a mutual tendency to self - sabotage . phyllis : oh , that 's not an excuse . billy : no , it 's not . but it worked for me for a while . i mean , i was able to not think about jack or what this might do to him . phyllis : when did that change ? billy : tonight . sitting at the table with the two of you , listening to bethany make those comments in front of him , it ... it was killing me . phyllis : me too . billy : [ sighs ] i got issues with my brother , but i do n't -- i do n't want him to hurt . what 's worse is seeing what this is doing to you . i ca n't stand it . because i want you . i want you here with me . phyllis : billy ... billy : you -- you do n't have to say anything , because i know that it ca n't happen . which is why ... we have to tell him . phyllis : and once he knows the truth ? billy : we ca n't pretend anymore . we ca n't get away with it . it 's the only way to end what 's going on between us . hilary : i did n't fake passing out for attention or sympathy or whatever insane motive you 're ascribing to me . lily : well , then why do n't you go to the hospital to get checked out ? hilary : because i do n't -- lily : oh , wait . i know why . because you know damn well the doctors will say that nothing 's wrong with you . that 's why . hilary : i know what 's wrong with me . jack : what ? hilary : you know , i skipped lunch , and i did n't have dinner , and my blood sugar is low . lily yelling at me like a lunatic is n't helping matters . cane , can you please just get us a waiter ? um , there 's some business that i still need to wrap up with jack . cane : sure . jack : you know what , work can wait . you need to take it easy . let me get you up to your suite , and then i will order you some room service . hilary : no , i ca n't impose on you like that , jack . jack : you 're not imposing . i want to help . hilary : all right . if you insist . jack : yeah . come on . slowly . slowly . use the rail . dr. neville : dylan , am i being charged with something ? dylan : i mean , it depends on the answers i get . dr. neville : well , what is it you think i did ? dylan : well , uh , this lab tech received a large sum of money , and the money was traced back to the medical - research project that you and ashley are running . dr. neville : how large a sum ? dylan : well , more than this guy would see in several years . dr. neville : and you think he , what , killed himself because he was caught with this money ? dylan : well , i mean , there 's a lot of factors at play . we 're still waiting on toxicology and medical reports . um , the guy did seem a little unstable , but right now i 'm just concerned about the fraud and the bribe . when i talked to hilary , she did say that she pays the employees based on reports that you give her . dr. neville : uh ... dylan : right ? dr. neville : i guess that 's so , yes . dylan : okay . then she claims that she does not have any personal contact with the medical staff , that you are involved with everybody in the testing procedures . is that correct ? dr. neville : to a certain extent . [ sighs ] detective ... ashley : yes , that 's how things are usually handled with our project , but not this time . dylan : not this time . what 's different this time ? ashley : i took it upon myself to meet with this lab tech . and then i altered the payroll report . dr. neville : ashley , do n't . ashley : i have to do this . i offered that man a huge amount of money . dylan : in return for ? ashley : falsifying the research results before they were sent to the fda . mariah : sharon , have you taken your meds today ? sharon : yes , mariah . this is not about that . mariah : are you sure that you have n't been skipping any days ? sharon : i promise you i have stuck to my regimen , okay ? this was a nightmare . it 's not about having visions of sage . i 'm not losing it . this is about sully . mariah : okay , what -- sharon : and not telling anyone the truth . that is wrong . mariah : what about all the reasons that you laid out for me ? that it 's what 's best for sully because you 're the only mother that he 's ever known , and it 's what 's best for dylan because he would be crushed if he lost that kid . sharon : he would . mariah : what about you telling me , convincing me that our family would be pulverized if nick found out that sully is his ? and now , because you had one scary dream , none of that 's important ? sharon : nick is important , too , and -- and so is the truth . this is so hard . mariah : okay . okay . so , you want to go there , let 's go there . but you have to think it through . so , say you follow some nightmare - provoked impulse and you decide to tell nick the truth . what happens ? sharon : nick would be so happy . mariah : and angry . dylan would ... he would fall apart . faith . and not to mention , seeing your family implode like that would probably send you spiraling out of control , which would be lousy for everyone . sharon : so i should n't tell nick the truth even if it 's the right thing to do ? mariah : no , i 'm not saying that . you just have to think it through . you have to consider all of the consequences for everyone , including yourself before you do anything . dr. neville : not another word . ms. abbott has nothing else to say without an attorney present . ashley : it 's okay , neville . dylan : so you 're admitting that you bribed the lab tech ? dr. neville : no , she 's not . ashley : yes , i am . is this where you read me my rights ? dylan : if i believed you . but your colleague here , he 's the one with the reputation for bucking the rules . ashley , you have integrity . think about what you 're saying right now . you 're telling me that you falsified medical reports , and you could put people 's lives in danger . why -- why would you risk that ? dr. neville : she would n't . why are you saying these things ? ashley : because this drug is gon na save people 's lives . you 're making a few minor adjustments . that 's what you 're working on right now . my actions are buying us time for you to make those adjustments . dylan : the patients ... ashley : they 're gon na meet the necessary milestones for the fda to pass this drug . i 'm certain of it . all i was doing ... i was just moving the numbers along so they would n't get bogged down in red tape . dylan : then you committed fraud . dr. neville : so what happens now ? dylan : oh , i got to go back to the chief . i got to tell him . he 's gon na pass the information along to the fda . and i guess you should be prepared to face criminal charges . dr. neville : [ sighs ] ashley : okay . just make sure that everybody knows that neville had nothing to do with this . these were my actions . because his work has to -- it has to remain above reproach . dylan : yeah , i 'll pass that along . dr. neville : what are you thinking ? ashley : i have to protect the project . i have to protect you . lily : god , men can be so clueless . i mean , hilary is so blatant about what she 's doing . cane : wow . you know , i actually resent being lumped in with these clueless men . 'cause , you know , i 'm one of the very few people who know how conniving she is . lily : well , then what 's wrong with jack ? and devon refuses to see who she really is . cane : here . you can call him , and you can tell him all about her latest and greatest . lily : yeah , about her fake fainting spell ? no , thank you . it 's just gon na feed into her games . and did you see jack 's reaction ? i 'm trying to tell him that she 's just targeting him as her next sugar daddy , but he wo n't listen . cane : that 's 'cause he has no reason to suspect she 's anything but above board . lily : yeah , but i told him . cane : sweetheart , sweetheart , he does not know that she 's blackmailing our entire family . as far as he 's concerned , she 's a devoted wife who 's doing great work at the foundation . so he has no reason to suspect anything otherwise . lily : well , he needs to open his eyes . otherwise his faith in hilary is gon na come back to bite him . [ drawer slams ] jack : okay , room service should be here momentarily . is there anything else i can do for you ? hilary : no . thank you , jack , for all of your help . i 'm feeling much better already , really . jack : you sure about that ? hilary : positive . come on , are you sure that you do n't want to get some work done ? jack : no , no , no . not tonight . though , if you have the energy , there is something i think we should talk about . hilary : anything . jack : earlier , lily accused you of looking to me for something more than a professional relationship . hilary : please , jack , you can not believe that . you ca n't believe that i view you as anything more than a business associate and a friend . jack : i would not bring any of this up were it not for a valentine 's day two years ago ... hilary : the delia benefit . jack : ... when you kissed me . hilary : please do n't remind me , okay ? it was very embarrassing . jack : we were business associates then , too . i want to make sure there is no misunderstanding between the two of us . hilary : there is n't , really . jack : i value your contribution to the foundation team . i appreciate our friendship . hilary : okay , jack -- jack : but i 'm a happily married man . hilary : jack , please , stop . okay . i know that you love phyllis , just like i love devon . there is absolutely no truth to lily 's accusation . jack : then why would she say that ? hilary : [ sighs ] because that woman has never liked me . this is what she does . she tries to poison people against me . jack : okay . that aside , you are clear on where i stand ? hilary : yes , i am . jack : okay . i 'm glad we straightened that out . hilary : but you 're -- you 're looking at me differently . you think that i 'm keeping something from you . jack : are you keeping something from me ? if we 're gon na work together , we need to be able to trust each other . hilary : there is something . it 's not what you think . the truth is , i lied downstairs . i 'm not fine . i 'm actually very sick . phyllis : all right , so that 's it . we will end it , um , you know , in a couple of days . once the dust settles -- billy : no , no , no . not a couple of days . we got to do it tonight . phyllis : tonight ? billy : yes , tonight . we only slept together once , and if we wait , then that 's ... [ sighs ] phyllis : okay , i get it . um , tonight . we 'll -- we 'll do that . i just ... i keep thinking of the pain that this is gon na cause jack . i do n't even know what to say . billy : just tell him the truth . we did n't mean for it to happen . it only happened the one time , and we feel like we have to come clean . phyllis : it does not make a difference how many sincere words we use or how regretful we are . he 's not gon na forgive us . billy : do n't underestimate how much my brother loves you . phyllis : i cheated on him before . i lost him . billy : and he 'll yell . and he 's gon na threaten . and he 's gon na get all righteous on you . and , in time , he will do what he always does . he will come back to you , because he does n't want a life without you . phyllis : what about you ? billy : i do n't want a life without you , either . think i 've made that pretty clear . phyllis : i do n't mean that . you do n't think jack 's gon na forgive you , either . billy : why should jack forgive me ? phyllis : because he is your brother . billy : right now , i 'm just the other guy . i 've gone behind jack 's back , i 've let him down before , but this is new territory , phyllis . phyllis : no , this is n't a joke . billy : i 'm not making a joke . i 'm just telling you the truth . he 's been very close to giving up on me a couple times , but this time , i have crossed the line . i have finally done something that not even my brother can forgive . dr. neville : you must be out of your beautiful mind . lying to the police ? admitting to a fraud ? ashley : you were about to do the same thing . dr. neville : well , i 'll find some way out of it . ashley : there is no way out of it . one of us had to fall on our swords . better me than you . dr. neville : why ? this has nothing to do with you . i 'm the one being blackmailed by hilary because i gave her the power to destroy me , not you . why should you be forced to pay a price for that ? [ sighs ] i wo n't let that happen . ashley : well , neither will i . dr. neville : oh , what , you have some kind of a plan ? ashley : listen , i 'm gon na count on the abbott name , okay ? and a great attorney who we have on retainer . hopefully he 'll be able to soften the ramifications for me . dr. neville : no , no . wait . even if that 's true -- even if that 's true , there 's no way you 'll be allowed to continue with the drug trial . ashley : and i 'm gon na miss working with you . dr. neville : no . no . no , no , no , no , no . i 'll -- no , no , no . ashley : neville . neville . dr. neville : no , i will find another way out of it . just give me -- ashley : neville . you have to keep your license . dr. neville : at what cost to you ? i 'm not gon na let you do this . ashley : you 're the only one that can correct the imbalance in the meds and make sure that nobody else relapses . dr. neville : what , you think i can concentrate on that now ? ashley , they are going to arrest you . ashley : and do you want to repay me ? then you have to make sure that this drug trial is a success . you got to get back to the lab . you got to get to work . because lives are at stake . lily : is that about the deal you 're working on ? cane : yeah , this could be a big get for fenmore 's . lily : well , if you have to get back to work ... cane : i have to make a call . lily : yeah , that 's fine . why do n't you just go ? cane : you know what ? that can wait . come here . come here . why are you letting this get to you , mrs. ashby ? why ? why ? lily : listen , hilary is tearing my family apart , and now she 's moving on to jack . i think it 's gon na take more than a few minutes to make me feel better . cane : yeah ? well , would you feel better if i told you that i 'm just as frustrated as you are that hilary always gets the upper hand on us ? lily : i know , it 's like she just does what she wants and gets away with it . cane : mm . lily : and sometimes , like now , it feels like there 's nothing we can do to stop her . hilary : it appears that i am relapsing . jack : despite the drug that dr. neville gave you ? i thought ... hilary : everyone thought that my recovery would be permanent . but there is a very real possibility that i may slip back into a coma , or die . jack : so , what 's to be done ? hilary : well , we 're monitoring me . but fainting earlier , that 's an indication that i am getting worse . there were some other symptoms -- a tremor in my hand , some headaches . i thought it was nothing at first -- jack : and you discussed all of these with dr. neville ? hilary : yes , we spoke in confidence . he knows that there 's a problem with the drug . there are actually two other patients that are relapsing . jack : wait , my sister -- hilary : oh , no . from what i understand , everyone else is fine . including ashley . please , do n't be alarmed . and please ... i was hoping that you can keep this between us . i really do n't want devon to find out . jack : wait , you have n't told your husband ? hilary : no , not yet . and i would appreciate it if you did n't , either . phyllis : you are family . jack and you need each other . billy : that does n't change what i 've done . it does n't change what we need to do tonight , okay ? but whatever happens , this -- this is on me . this is not on you . phyllis : maybe we should n't . billy : no ! oh , no , no . i am not going to run from the consequences of my actions . i 'm not gon na do that . phyllis : okay , so we 're gon na run into the line of fire ? billy : we have to do this . phyllis : that 's not gon na happen . billy : we have to . phyllis : jack will be told . by me . alone . billy : what are you talking about ? i 'm not gon na let you do this alone . phyllis : you said it yourself -- he 's more likely to forgive me . if he does , i will try to get him to understand about you . billy : listen , i am not going to put you in the line of fire . phyllis : and i appreciate the vow of solidarity , i do . but this is my messed- up marriage . billy : we both did this , okay ? we both need to own it . phyllis : and if the both of us go to him together , it might be too much for him to take . billy : or maybe there 's safety in numbers . phyllis : i am the one ... billy : [ sighs ] phyllis : ... that broke my vows . jack should hear it from me . now , i am asking you to not fight me on this . i have to do this . alone . billy : no matter how much he yells at you ... just remember how much he loves you . phyllis : [ sighs ] okay , i should go . billy : so this is it , huh ? sharon : the guilt of this lie is eating away at me , mariah . i love sully like he 's my own flesh and blood . but he 's not . and that gets harder to live with every time i watch nick struggle with the loss of his wife and his son , every time i hear dylan mention what an incredible gift our son is . i ca n't bear the thought of destroying our family . but i ca n't go on like this , either . mariah : look , maybe you should talk to somebody . like a psychiatrist . sharon : no . a psychiatrist is what caused all this in the first place . that vindictive doctor who made me believe sully was my son . mariah : not all psychiatrists are crazed stalkers . sharon : it helps talking to you . mariah : and that 's great . i love that . but i 'm your kid . i 'm not your shrink . i 'm not very qualified to do many things , but i 'm definitely not qualified to do this , sharon . i 'm not enough . sharon : you have to be . i ca n't talk to anyone else about this . [ door closes ] dylan : ca n't talk to anyone else about what ? sharon : oh , mariah and i were just -- mariah : we were talking about sage . mariah : sharon and i were just talking about how much they 're missing sage at chelsea 's company . and , you know , chelsea never hired anybody after sage died , so sharon 's stuck covering both jobs . dylan : oh . [ sighs ] well , that 's a lot of work . mariah : yeah . i mean , it 's too much for one person to deal with , so sharon was thinking that maybe , uh , i could do it . dylan : are you qualified ? sharon : um ... mariah : i 'm qualified to do so many things that you do n't even know about . [ both chuckling nervously ] sharon : anyway , i was saying that i ca n't talk to anyone about this except mariah because i - i do n't want to seem insensitive suggesting a rehire when everyone 's still mourning sage . dylan : yeah . i know the two of you probably want to wait for the right time , but the truth is , it 's never really gon na feel like the right time to move on . phyllis : oh ! bethany : oh ! uh ... phyllis : bethany . oh . this is yours . bethany : thanks . phyllis : okay . well , i did n't know you were staying here . bethany : just for a couple nights . it 's a lot nicer than my apartment , you know , and since i 've got some money to burn thanks to you and billy , i figured why not treat myself . phyllis : oh , i 'm glad you 're benefiting from our misery . bethany : okay , you do n't have to get all attitudinal about it , all right ? i 'm not the one that put the squeeze on you and billy for the cash . you 're the one that practically begged me to take the money and act like his girlfriend . phyllis : hey , hey , hey ! how about lowering your voice ? bethany : all right . all i 'm saying is , if you wanted me to keep your secret , all you had to do was ask . phyllis : yeah , out of the kindness of your heart ? bethany : [ laughs ] well , i got to admit , the cash was a good incentive . but , i mean -- i mean , this is the most fun i 've had in a very long time . phyllis : yeah , well , the fun 's over . bethany : wait , why ? phyllis : because jack is knowing the truth tonight . bethany : does billy know ? phyllis : of course he does . bethany : and you 're thinking if you do this , then you can hit `` delete `` on you and billy and push `` reset `` on your marriage ? phyllis : well , i would n't put it like that , but ... yeah . that 's what i need to do . billy : you know how long i 've wanted this ? watching you ... fantasizing about you . wondering what it would be like . even when i was n't with you . picturing you in my mind . your skin . eyes . those lips . phyllis : damn it . if i would have just stopped ... just stopped to think . billy : we stopped a couple times and nothing changed . phyllis : i know , but it -- it should have . you know why ? because all of this , this is all just a mistake . a terrible , selfish mistake . and as far as i 'm concerned , none of it happened . okay ? because i will not be coming back here again . and whatever it is between us , whatever we have , this -- this ca n't go on . this has to be goodbye . lily : okay , thank you . ashley : hey . lily : hey . ashley : is hilary around by any chance ? lily : uh , not anymore . you just missed her big performance . ashley : why ? what 'd she do ? lily : well , she just pretended to faint so that jack would shower her with attention . ashley : are you sure it was an act ? lily : oh , so she has you fooled , too ? ashley : what do you mean `` too `` ? lily : well , i tried telling jack that hilary is just making a play on him in case things fall apart with devon . i mean , you can believe me or not . ashley : oh , i believe you . i think hilary is capable of just about anything . lily : thank you ! at least someone sees through her . jack is completely oblivious . ashley : where 's my brother right now ? lily : oh , he 's just upstairs in her suite , tending to a poor , ill hilary . jack : i wo n't say anything to anyone . it is your right to decide whether to share this news , and with whom . hilary : thank you , jack . jack : a little piece of advice , though -- tell your husband . hilary : i ca n't tell devon . not yet . jack : okay . i 'm gon na leave you and let you get some rest . i 'll check in with you later . hilary : thanks for taking such good care of me . jack : ash ! ashley : hi . jack : what are you doing here ? ashley : i have some business to discuss with hilary . what about you ? jack : well , hilary and i had some foundation work . i did n't realize she was so popular tonight . ashley : yeah , she is , huh ? jack : come on in . ashley : okay . see you later . hilary : what happened with dr. neville and the cops ? ashley : i bet you changed your mind about pointing the authorities in neville 's direction now that you realize that you do have a medical condition that only he can help you with . hilary : just tell me what happened . ashley : neville 's off the hook . hilary : what did he tell them ? ashley : he did n't tell them that you were behind the payoff , if that 's what you 're wondering . hilary : [ sighs ] okay . good . ashley : what you should be wondering , though , is what i told dylan . hilary : you talked to dylan ? ashley : i sure did . and i am so far away from being done with you . hilary : you told dylan that i was the one who paid off the lab tech ? ashley : no , but i so wanted to . especially when neville told me that you were blackmailing him . hilary : but he did n't tell you everything , did he ? ashley : he did n't tell me the identity of the kidnapper , no , although he does know who it is . and he made it very clear that he 's not gon na turn on you . i ca n't begin to tell you how frustrating that was . hilary : what do you want , ashley ? ashley : i took the blame for your dirty work . i said it was me . and that i acted alone . hilary : why would you do that ? ashley : because now you owe me . bethany : hi . billy : what the hell are you doing back here ? bethany : well , i figured you could use some company . billy : i actually , uh , prefer to drink alone , thank you very much . bethany : oh , that sounds healthy . listen , i ran into phyllis . she told me that she was going to tell your brother everything . billy : yes , after tonight , everything will change . bethany : well , is that such a bad thing ? i mean , no more sneaking around with your secret love . free to do whatever you want with whoever you want . billy : and `` whomever , `` you mean you . bethany : i mean , everybody already thinks we 're seeing each other , you know , so ... billy : [ sighs ] bethany : why not keep things going ? i mean , we could have so much fun together , you know ? we can go out for some laughs , or stay in . billy : is that what you want ? bethany : it is . billy : okay . why not , right ? bethany : yeah . billy : as long as you 're okay with every time i look at you , every time i touch you , every time i kiss you , every time i pull up your dress , i 'm gon na be wishing i was with phyllis . phyllis : hi . jack : did you think i did n't get your text ? phyllis : yeah , i was n't sure . jack : hey , something 's wrong . phyllis : there 's something i need to tell you . jack : what is it , red ? phyllis : there 's no easy way to do this , so if you would just let me say it . jack : okay . phyllis : jack , i slept with someone else . and not just someone . [ voice breaking ] it was billy . and i 'm so sorry . and it was just one time . it was just one time . and i regretted it . we both regretted it . i 'm so sorry . jack : that 's it ? i mean , you did n't want me to interrupt you before you were finished . i want to make sure you were done .

[ smooches ] i 'm gon na go upstairs , kiss sully . lily : i mean , knowing ashley is on our side where hilary is concerned ... cane : just makes you feel better , huh ? lily : yeah . it just gives me hope that if other people can see through her , then maybe eventually jack and devon will , too . cane : and then maybe the tight grasp that hilary has over us will start to loosen . hm ? lily : [ scoffs ] hilary : i think i can guess what 's number one on your list of demands . ashley : hm . hilary : you want me to step away from the medical trial . ashley : exactly . you 're going to let neville run everything . i 'd love to help , but i do n't think they 're gon na allow me since i took the blame for the fraudulent test results . and guess what number two is ? hilary : jack . ashley : exactly again . you stay the hell away from my brother . billy : i 'm sorry . i did n't mean to go off on you like that . bethany : it 's okay . billy : no , it 's not okay . you 're ... you 're sweet . you do n't deserve that . just ... just go , okay ? stop wasting your time on me . bethany : hey . i really like you , okay ? and i feel really bad that you 're torn up over this . but you 're gon na get over phyllis . billy : will i ? bethany : you will . i mean , you guys ca n't be together , so you 're gon na have to try and move on . billy : stop , stop . okay ? i ca n't . bethany : why not ? billy : because , damn it . because i love her . phyllis : [ gasps ] jack : whoa , you 're jumpy . everything all right ? i got your text . what 'd you want to talk to me about ?

so ... which means that i will love and protect you no matter what you choose to do . chad : you know , i keep on believing you , and that scares me . stefano : well , that 's because we are getting to know each other , see ?

has your episode passed yet ? kate : episode ? what episode ? jennifer : it was brady ? why on earth would brady do something like this ? melanie : he just found out something horrible that ej did and he kind of flipped out . jennifer : that 's why you brought ej to the clinic and enlisted your parents to keep quiet , right ?

daniel : well , if there were , i would n't do it . melanie : i know , i know , but , dad , a lot of people are gon na get hurt . daniel : yeah , but do n't you think brady should have thought about that before he attempted to kill ej ? melanie : i do n't think brady was thinking . i think he found out what ej did and he freaked out , which is the exact same thing you would do if it was somebody you loved and you know it . carly : he 's stabilized . what 's going on ? melanie : i need help , and dad wo n't give it to me . even though brady 's pretty much family , and that guy ... we already saved his worthless life . do we have to let him do more damage ? taylor : oh , god , he answered . he picked up . why -- why did n't he say anything ? lexie : ooh , judging from the tone of your voice and that look on your face , i 've got to say the he you 're referring to is my brother , hmm ? taylor : i ca n't find him anywhere . lex , i came here to see if there had been an accident or something . lexie : i have n't seen him . i 'll call my father for you , see if he knows where he is . taylor : no . no , no , no , no . he made it very clear that i am persona non grata . lexie : well , i do n't pay much attention to my father 's decrees . taylor : okay , well , i think it 's pointless . i do . i think he told ej to stay away from me . lexie : well , i do n't see ej doing what father says either . especially when it comes to his private life . taylor : lex ... lex , i thought i knew what was going on , okay . i thought that stefano was angry because ej had to give up certain aspects of his life because of me , but ... i do n't know . lexie : what , you think he 's reneged ? taylor : i think that ... you know , i do n't even know what i think anymore . rafe : okay , bud . last security camera was just disabled . and the cameras are on a permanent visual loop , so there wo n't be any record of you guys being there . bo : okay , man . let 's do it . rafe : oh , and i 'll let you know if anyone comes back . give you plenty of warning . bo : okay , i got you . thanks . sami , you 're up . sami : wish me luck . bo : good luck . mary : oh , mrs. hernandez . i did n't know you 'd be dropping by . sami : yeah . what 's so weird , i thought you had the night off tonight . mary : harold has a bug , so mr. dimera asked me to stay . sami : oh , my god . uh ... javier : mar -- mary , you got to stop them . they 're trying to kill me . sami : that is not true . he 's just drunk . mary : i do n't care what he is . i 'm calling mr. dimera . sami : the hell you are . my , my . what have we here ? nicole : maggie , thank you for coming to my defense , but it 's really not necessary because i do n't care what victor says or does . brady : well , i 'm gon na go ... leave you two lovebirds alone . nicole : um , maggie , you know you 're too good for him . but then again , who is n't ? victor : my grandson is drinking , fighting , and hanging out with nicole . you find that at all coincidental ? maggie : this is n't about brady and nicole . i came here to thank you for your donation to the hospital . victor : it was nothing . maggie : yeah , of course . you 're right . well , when it comes to giving money , i mean , yeah , you do n't have a problem with that . because that does n't require any commitment or understanding . so you 're good to go . as i am . victor : wait , maggie , do n't leave . not yet . nicole : [ clears throat ] hmm - hmm . brady : glasses . nicole : yes . provin ' that we ai n't low - rent . we drink with refinement . brady : `` we `` ? nicole : mm - hmm . brady : i do n't know if you 've noticed , nicole , but this is not your husband 's bed that you 're lying in right now . nicole : he 's otherwise engaged with my sister . brady : mm . even so , it 's not a very good idea for you to try to ally yourself with me right now . dimeras do n't take too kindly to people who beat the crap out of their heir - apparent . nicole : brady , do you think you might have killed ej ? brady : i do n't know . maybe . i was angry enough to . i might have been a little too drunk to pull it off , though . nicole : but you wanted to ? brady : yeah , i wanted to . nicole : brady . brady : nicole , let me make something very clear to you , okay ? what i did had nothing to do with you . sami : mary , i 'm really sorry about that . i did not mean to grab you like that or talk to you like that . it 's just i 'm so freaked out right now . we were at dinner , and we were driving home , and i realized that i forgot sydney 's doll . you know the one she wo n't go to sleep without ? so i thought we could stop by here and pick it up real quick . i did n't realize how much rafe had had to drink . javier : ugh . she 's lying . bo : hey , hey , hey , rafe , rafe , let 's go for a walk . javier : do n't listen to her . bo : get some air . huh ? sami : yeah , thanks , uncle bo . i 'm so sorry . mary : why is he wearing handcuffs ? this does n't make any sense . sami : oh , god , it 's just so embarrassing . look , we were driving , and rafe was driving , and he got pulled over , and he 's drunk . so then he was mouthing off to my uncle bo , and it 's just a big nightmare , and i 'm really sorry to involve you in this , but , you know what , i just ca n't let ej and stefano find out about that , okay ? so i need you to keep quiet . mary : i do n't know . i ... sami : you do n't know ? what do n't you know ? i mean , imagine if the situation were reversed . if ej and stefano found out about all the times that you 're late when you show up to pick up the kids at my place or that i was n't the one with sydney when she fell that time that it really was you . mary : you would n't ! sami : if it 's about my kids , i will . hope : if you do n't believe her , well , why do n't you just ask ej ? sami : look , i do n't want to threaten you . i want us to stay friends . i think we 're friends . are n't we friends ? and i just really need to make sure that ej and stefano do n't find out about any of this . so i need to make sure you do n't say anything or , well , do i have to say it ? mary : what do you want me to do ? sami : there 's the spirit . thank you . i really appreciate your support . you do n't have to do anything . just go to your room and do n't say anything to anyone about this , okay ? mary : yes , ma'am . sami : i knew i could count on you . thank you , mary . you know , i hated doing that . hope : we 're good to go . let 's go . bo : we 're okay ? she 's gone ? javier : you 're not gon na get anything out of me . sami : yeah , i know you do n't really like telling the truth , but , this time around , you 're not calling the shots . i am . kate : okay . what 's he talking about , `` an episode `` ? stefano : how do you do that ? she has this unnerving ability to show up every time that i am saying something i do n't want her to hear . kate : mm - hmm . that 's right . now did you call lexie ? did you get your blood sugar monitored ? stefano : all right , i will call her now , but i 'm fine , i 'm fine , i 'm fine . kate : thank you . stefano : ay - yi - yi . chad : you know , i 'm glad you heard that . i worry about him not taking care of himself . and i do n't think it works for me to tell him to watch it . kate : oh , no , no , no . i think you 've done him more good than i ever could . chad : yeah , right . kate : i mean it . i do n't think i 'm overstating it to say that you 've given him a new lease on life . he 's making sure to take care of himself because he wants to be around to launch you . chad : `` launch me `` ? kate : did you ever play in the little league ? chad : yes , and what the hell does that have to do with it ? kate : well , do you remember the fathers who showed up for every game and they 'd want to teach every move to their kids ? and that would have bored stefano to tears . but he loves teaching you the ropes , and i know he 's looking forward to the day when he gets to watch you finesse a really good deal . you give him reason to wake up in the morning . chad : well , he 's asked me to work for him . not just as an intern . kate : okay . and you have reservations ? chad : well , yeah . kate : it would really make me happy , i mean , it 's selfish of me , but if you 'd give it a go ... because i want him to be around for a long , long time . yes . stefano : all right , she is going to check me out in the morning . so , what , are you two conspiring against me while i 'm gone , hmm ? kate : we are not conspiring . thank you very much . but i have to get going . i have an appointment . so i will see you two boys later , and you , whenever that appointment is , i 'm going with you . eh . do n't even say anything . stefano : all right . ciao .

so ... which means that i will love and protect you no matter what you choose to do . chad : you know , i keep on believing you , and that scares me . stefano : well , that 's because we are getting to know each other , see ? and one thing you 're going to learn , i never lie to my children . i mean , ask alexandra . ask , well , elvis for goodness sake . chad : unless it 's for their own good . stefano : oh , well , that goes without saying . chad : i 'll think about it . stefano : fine . listen , i know you have a lot to consider . chad : [ sighs ] yeah . well , how you feeling ? has your episode passed yet ? kate : episode ? what episode ? jennifer : it was brady ? why on earth would brady do something like this ? melanie : he just found out something horrible that ej did and he kind of flipped out . jennifer : that 's why you brought ej to the clinic and enlisted your parents to keep quiet , right ? melanie : yeah . if stefano found out , he 'd go after brady , and then victor would go after stefano , and -- jennifer : let me ask you something . do n't you think that ej is gon na remember ? melanie : i have n't figured that out yet . i got to give 'em this . i 'm sorry . i got the sedative . can you administer it ? dad , i need to talk to you for a second . carly : that 's fine , baby . melanie : i need to ask you a favor . daniel : no kidding . melanie : is there any way you can make it so that ej does n't remember what happened ? daniel : well , if there were , i would n't do it . melanie : i know , i know , but , dad , a lot of people are gon na get hurt . daniel : yeah , but do n't you think brady should have thought about that before he attempted to kill ej ? melanie : i do n't think brady was thinking . i think he found out what ej did and he freaked out , which is the exact same thing you would do if it was somebody you loved and you know it . carly : he 's stabilized . what 's going on ? melanie : i need help , and dad wo n't give it to me . even though brady 's pretty much family , and that guy ... we already saved his worthless life . do we have to let him do more damage ? taylor : oh , god , he answered . he picked up . why -- why did n't he say anything ? lexie : ooh , judging from the tone of your voice and that look on your face , i 've got to say the he you 're referring to is my brother , hmm ? taylor : i ca n't find him anywhere . lex , i came here to see if there had been an accident or something . lexie : i have n't seen him . i 'll call my father for you , see if he knows where he is . taylor : no . no , no , no , no . he made it very clear that i am persona non grata . lexie : well , i do n't pay much attention to my father 's decrees . taylor : okay , well , i think it 's pointless . i do . i think he told ej to stay away from me . lexie : well , i do n't see ej doing what father says either . especially when it comes to his private life . taylor : lex ... lex , i thought i knew what was going on , okay . i thought that stefano was angry because ej had to give up certain aspects of his life because of me , but ... i do n't know . lexie : what , you think he 's reneged ? taylor : i think that ... you know , i do n't even know what i think anymore . rafe : okay , bud . last security camera was just disabled . and the cameras are on a permanent visual loop , so there wo n't be any record of you guys being there . bo : okay , man . let 's do it . rafe : oh , and i 'll let you know if anyone comes back . give you plenty of warning . bo : okay , i got you . thanks . sami , you 're up . sami : wish me luck . bo : good luck . mary : oh , mrs. hernandez . i did n't know you 'd be dropping by . sami : yeah . what 's so weird , i thought you had the night off tonight . mary : harold has a bug , so mr. dimera asked me to stay . sami : oh , my god . uh ... javier : mar -- mary , you got to stop them . they 're trying to kill me . sami : that is not true . he 's just drunk . mary : i do n't care what he is . i 'm calling mr. dimera . sami : the hell you are . my , my . what have we here ? nicole : maggie , thank you for coming to my defense , but it 's really not necessary because i do n't care what victor says or does . brady : well , i 'm gon na go ... leave you two lovebirds alone . nicole : um , maggie , you know you 're too good for him . but then again , who is n't ? victor : my grandson is drinking , fighting , and hanging out with nicole . you find that at all coincidental ? maggie : this is n't about brady and nicole . i came here to thank you for your donation to the hospital . victor : it was nothing . maggie : yeah , of course . you 're right . well , when it comes to giving money , i mean , yeah , you do n't have a problem with that . because that does n't require any commitment or understanding . so you 're good to go . as i am . victor : wait , maggie , do n't leave . not yet . nicole : [ clears throat ] hmm - hmm . brady : glasses . nicole : yes . provin ' that we ai n't low - rent . we drink with refinement . brady : `` we `` ? nicole : mm - hmm . brady : i do n't know if you 've noticed , nicole , but this is not your husband 's bed that you 're lying in right now . nicole : he 's otherwise engaged with my sister . brady : mm . even so , it 's not a very good idea for you to try to ally yourself with me right now . dimeras do n't take too kindly to people who beat the crap out of their heir - apparent . nicole : brady , do you think you might have killed ej ? brady : i do n't know . maybe . i was angry enough to . i might have been a little too drunk to pull it off , though . nicole : but you wanted to ? brady : yeah , i wanted to . nicole : brady . brady : nicole , let me make something very clear to you , okay ? what i did had nothing to do with you . sami : mary , i 'm really sorry about that . i did not mean to grab you like that or talk to you like that . it 's just i 'm so freaked out right now . we were at dinner , and we were driving home , and i realized that i forgot sydney 's doll . you know the one she wo n't go to sleep without ? so i thought we could stop by here and pick it up real quick . i did n't realize how much rafe had had to drink . javier : ugh . she 's lying . bo : hey , hey , hey , rafe , rafe , let 's go for a walk . javier : do n't listen to her . bo : get some air . huh ? sami : yeah , thanks , uncle bo . i 'm so sorry . mary : why is he wearing handcuffs ? this does n't make any sense . sami : oh , god , it 's just so embarrassing . look , we were driving , and rafe was driving , and he got pulled over , and he 's drunk . so then he was mouthing off to my uncle bo , and it 's just a big nightmare , and i 'm really sorry to involve you in this , but , you know what , i just ca n't let ej and stefano find out about that , okay ? so i need you to keep quiet . mary : i do n't know . i ... sami : you do n't know ? what do n't you know ? i mean , imagine if the situation were reversed . if ej and stefano found out about all the times that you 're late when you show up to pick up the kids at my place or that i was n't the one with sydney when she fell that time that it really was you . mary : you would n't ! sami : if it 's about my kids , i will . hope : if you do n't believe her , well , why do n't you just ask ej ? sami : look , i do n't want to threaten you . i want us to stay friends . i think we 're friends . are n't we friends ? and i just really need to make sure that ej and stefano do n't find out about any of this . so i need to make sure you do n't say anything or , well , do i have to say it ? mary : what do you want me to do ? sami : there 's the spirit . thank you . i really appreciate your support . you do n't have to do anything . just go to your room and do n't say anything to anyone about this , okay ? mary : yes , ma'am . sami : i knew i could count on you . thank you , mary . you know , i hated doing that . hope : we 're good to go . let 's go . bo : we 're okay ? she 's gone ? javier : you 're not gon na get anything out of me . sami : yeah , i know you do n't really like telling the truth , but , this time around , you 're not calling the shots . i am . kate : okay . what 's he talking about , `` an episode `` ? stefano : how do you do that ? she has this unnerving ability to show up every time that i am saying something i do n't want her to hear . kate : mm - hmm . that 's right . now did you call lexie ? did you get your blood sugar monitored ? stefano : all right , i will call her now , but i 'm fine , i 'm fine , i 'm fine . kate : thank you . stefano : ay - yi - yi . chad : you know , i 'm glad you heard that . i worry about him not taking care of himself . and i do n't think it works for me to tell him to watch it . kate : oh , no , no , no . i think you 've done him more good than i ever could . chad : yeah , right . kate : i mean it . i do n't think i 'm overstating it to say that you 've given him a new lease on life . he 's making sure to take care of himself because he wants to be around to launch you . chad : `` launch me `` ? kate : did you ever play in the little league ? chad : yes , and what the hell does that have to do with it ? kate : well , do you remember the fathers who showed up for every game and they 'd want to teach every move to their kids ? and that would have bored stefano to tears . but he loves teaching you the ropes , and i know he 's looking forward to the day when he gets to watch you finesse a really good deal . you give him reason to wake up in the morning . chad : well , he 's asked me to work for him . not just as an intern . kate : okay . and you have reservations ? chad : well , yeah . kate : it would really make me happy , i mean , it 's selfish of me , but if you 'd give it a go ... because i want him to be around for a long , long time . yes . stefano : all right , she is going to check me out in the morning . so , what , are you two conspiring against me while i 'm gone , hmm ? kate : we are not conspiring . thank you very much . but i have to get going . i have an appointment . so i will see you two boys later , and you , whenever that appointment is , i 'm going with you . eh . do n't even say anything . stefano : all right . ciao .

wait , is there even time for that kind of thing ? kate : look , look . i know -- i know you have concerns , i do . marlena : do you ? because i think if you knew that , maybe you would 've come to me before you married the man . kate : i knew you were n't gon na throw me a bridal shower . i knew that . marlena : no . i would have filed commitment papers . kate : okay , look , i know that it was a little hasty , but believe me , it was the very best solution to a very big problem . marlena : oh , what was the problem ?

wait , is there even time for that kind of thing ? kate : look , look . i know -- i know you have concerns , i do . marlena : do you ? because i think if you knew that , maybe you would 've come to me before you married the man . kate : i knew you were n't gon na throw me a bridal shower . i knew that . marlena : no . i would have filed commitment papers . kate : okay , look , i know that it was a little hasty , but believe me , it was the very best solution to a very big problem . marlena : oh , what was the problem ? were you trying to destroy your life , and you were n't sure how to start it ? kate : you can relax , okay ? it 's a business arrangement . chad was missing . in his absence , we needed to keep the company together . the ceo of dimera must be a family member , and the board did n't trust andré . marlena : oh , that 's just so hard to believe . kate : it 's simple math , that 's what it is . i have the qualification , he has the last name -- that equals , i 'm now the ceo of dimera enterprises . marlena : chad is back . you can have the marriage annulled and -- and turn the company back over to chad . kate : it 's really not that simple , though , because my appointment is for six months , and i 'll have to be married at least that long . marlena : six months ? how much damage can happen in six months ? empires have toppled in fewer than six months . kate : i will be fine . i know what i 'm doing , marlena . marlena : really ? tell me , has he changed ? has he become an amazing , kind man now ? kate : no , i would n't exactly say that , but he 's not that bad . marlena : well , at least you do n't love him . tell me you do n't love him . kate : i do n't love him . but on the other hand , every time that i 've married for love , it 's turned out to be an unmitigated disaster . this is a lot cleaner . lucas : sonny confessed to deimos ' murder ? that makes no sense at all , anne . anne : well , apparently it made sense to the fuzz . i mean , according to my sources , the police are booking him right now . lucas : you 've got to be kidding me . i ca n't believe this . anne : i know , it 's so frustrating , right ? it 's like , all these huge news stories , and they all involve the owners of `` the spectator . `` it 's just a conflict of interest everywhere i look , you know ? lucas : that 's what 's bothering you about this ? that 's what you 're worried about ? anne : well , somebody 's got to put out a paper every day , darling . like if -- if they 're so distracted , jen and adrienne , it 's like , who do think is keeping this whole thing afloat ? annie milbauer . okay ? nobody wants to read about the salem swim team when there 's a juicy murder mystery going on , you know ? lucas : i got to go , okay ? anne : wh -- you just got here . lucas : i have to talk to adrienne about this . anne : i ... yeah , of course . it 's all about adrienne . adrienne needs you , you come a - runnin ' . i need you , you go running . sonny : [ panting ] thank you so much for being here . paul : where else am i gon na be ? sonny : oh , god . i just hate seeing my mom like that . especially after everything she 's gone through this year . it 's terrible . jj : what are you doing , sonny ? sonny : just waiting for raines to put me in the system , i guess . jj : why did you confess ? sonny : i was just telling the truth , jj . jj : you did n't -- you did n't kill deimos . you could n't have . sonny : you do n't know that . jj : and you do n't know that you did . sonny : i 'm just glad they 're letting you go . jj : i do n't want to be let go , man . not if it 's because you 're gon na be locked up . paul : we 're gon na get him off . justin 's already working on it . jj : this should never have happened . sonny , we do n't know what went on that night ! sonny : i know i saw deimos ' body on the floor -- dead . jj : that is not proof . sonny : no , but what about the waiter ? he saw me kneeling over his body . he heard me tell deimos , `` you got what you deserve . `` jj : he did . is that credible ? you 're not going to prison for this . [ door opens ] raines : detective , can i have a word with you ? [ tense music ] i have the paperwork for your release . it just needs your signature . this is still an open investigation , which means -- jj : which means i 'm not off the hook , even though you 're about to lock up my cousin . there . raines : i 'd advise you not to leave town . jj : oh , do n't worry . i 'm not going anywhere . i have a job to do , sir . raines : jj , i 'm sorry , but you 're on paid leave until further notice . jj : you 're not letting me work the case ? raines : you 're still a suspect in deimos kiriakis 's murder ; i do n't want you anywhere near this case . do you understand me ? i said do you understand me ? jj : yes , sir . [ slow dramatic music ] lani : jj , is everything all right ? jj : they 're letting me go . lani : what ? you 're free ? that 's incredible . how ? jj : sonny confessed to the murder . lani : sonny murdered deimos ? jj : no . no , it was n't him . i know it . i just have to prove it . lani : i found something . i think it might help . jj : where are you ? lani : at the martin house . jj : all right , i 'm gon na get over there as quickly as i can . we have to find a way to clear sonny . adrienne : i ca n't stand the thought of our son in a jail cell . justin : he wo n't be there long , i promise . adrienne : you know he did n't do it , right ? justin : i know our son is honorable and trustworthy . deimos provoked every single person in the house that night . they all had motive and opportunity to kill him . adrienne : why is our son the only one being locked up ? justin : adrienne , look at me . i promise you i wo n't let our son down , and i wo n't let you down , either . she 's nationally recognized adrienne : i do n't know what i 'd so without you , justin . justin : you seem to be doing just fine . adrienne : you know what i mean . justin : no matter what happens between us , we 'll always be here for our son , and each other . adrienne : and for each other , always . lucas ! lucas : hey . i 'm so sorry . i heard about sonny . is there anything i can do ? adrienne : no , i 'm just glad you 're here . lucas : are they taking care of you ? can i get you anything ? adrienne : yeah , no , you know what ? i just need to see sonny . lucas : i 'll go -- i 'll talk to raines for you . adrienne : no , no , i can do that . if you 'd just -- you just fill lucas in for me , okay ? i just got to be with sonny . sonny : i could n't let jj go down for this murder . not when i had information that could clear him . paul : jj 's right about one thing , though . you do n't know if you killed deimos . even if you were on drugs , i do n't believe that you 're capable of stabbing someone in the chest . sonny : you really think i 'm innocent ? paul : with all of my heart . sonny ... you 're the best man that i have ever known . you make me a better man . if anyone 's ever looked up to me as a role model , it is because of you . sonny : you make me a better man , too . paul : i love you , sonny . and i am gon na stand by your side the way you stood by mine . when we were on the island , i could have died . or worse , i could 've hurt you or even killed you , but you never gave up on me . you saved me . i am gon na do whatever it takes to save you .

[ scene_break ] natalie : you 're right . i mean , john is really good at what he does , but he 's not a mind reader , so there 's no way he could figure out from a sonogram that this baby might not be his , right ? gigi : right , because all you 'll get is this blurry image of the baby 's shape and , if you 're lucky , the heart beating at the right angle . natalie : okay . okay . you know what ? everything is gon na be fine . gigi : yes . you need to ease up , okay , because if you do n't , he will sense that something is wrong . natalie : so what is going on with this kelly cramer thing ? i want details .

[ scene_break ] ford : i know i 've given you plenty of reasons not to trust me , and i 'm really trying to change that . the last couple of months with my brother showing up and then my mom and thinking about how i let him down the way she did -- it used to just be me , you know ? i did what i had to do to survive , but now i 've got a family , and i have to be better . langston : i 've watched you step up with your brother , and i know that eli clarke did n't give you much of a choice , so , yeah , i can see you 're making an effort , but it 's just not -- ford : langston , langston , i almost died . when i woke up in the hospital , i knew things could n't go back to the way they were before , and then with my family coming back , i have to change . langston : well , good luck with that . ford : do n't you understand me ? langston : ford , it all sounds great , but somewhere between your near - death experience , your family showing up , your weeks in the hospital , you still managed to have sex with someone who could 've given you an std . [ scene_break ] brody : what are the chances of the baby contracting jessica 's hepatitis c ? dr. wright : statistics vary , but luckily , jessica 's viral levels are very low . as long as she stays healthy , the baby has an excellent chance of not contracting the disease , but you know what ? i 'll take every precaution . brody : does she have to have a c - section ? dr. wright : i 'll have to discuss the options with jessica . brody : we 'll all talk about it next time she comes in .

[ scene_break ] natalie : you 're right . i mean , john is really good at what he does , but he 's not a mind reader , so there 's no way he could figure out from a sonogram that this baby might not be his , right ? gigi : right , because all you 'll get is this blurry image of the baby 's shape and , if you 're lucky , the heart beating at the right angle . natalie : okay . okay . you know what ? everything is gon na be fine . gigi : yes . you need to ease up , okay , because if you do n't , he will sense that something is wrong . natalie : so what is going on with this kelly cramer thing ? i want details .

[ scene_break ] michael : whatever kristina feels about trey , she wants to keep it professional . starr : sounds like a good idea . michael : yeah , does n't mean trey agrees . would n't surprise me if he tries to make a play for kristina . starr : but the `` mob princess `` show seems so important to trey . why would he risk things by getting involved with the main star of the show ? michael : makes it easier to exploit her . starr : but the way they were talking , i mean , it sounded like kristina and trey came up with the concept of the show together . michael : no . trey found where she is vulnerable , and then he used it . starr : i 'm sorry , but your sister does n't seem vulnerable to me . michael : [ chuckles ] kristina and my dad are exactly alike . when my dad gets mad , he starts making ultimatums . and kristina , she overreacts and does something stupid to defy him . this whole reality show is just the latest worst example . starr : okay . i still do n't see how any of this is trey 's fault , not that i 'm defending him , trust me . michael : kristina loves her family , and -- and when she sees this whole thing is hurting them , especially her sisters , i - i think she 's gon na back out . starr : oh , so , trey 's going to pretend like he 's interested in kristina in order to keep her with the project . michael : pretty much , yeah . starr : wow . well , i hope that kristina is n't really interested in trey , because if she were , i would feel sorry for her . i think he 's a jerk . michael : that 's good . [ scene_break ] sonny : i think that 's enough for now . trey : miss howard , this is a powerful story that needs to be told , but i - i ca n't put any of it on the air unless you sign this release ! okay , we got to get in there for that arraignment . this is gon na be the high point of the episode . kristina : i do n't think this should go on the air . trey : maybe you can talk to your parents , all right ? we can get a wrap - up interview -- kristina : did you just how upset kate was ? i do n't want to make this worse for her . trey : no , no . it 's fine . we can totally spin it and make it sympathetic . kristina : better idea ? we leave kate out of the show completely . trey : okay . i thought you shared my vision . i thought we were in this together . kristina : we are . i do . trey : then why do you keep sabotaging us at a very turn ? kristina : what are you talking about ? trey : first you would n't allow the cameras in the hospital with sam . then you sent them away from the funeral . kristina : my sister was burying her baby . sam was in enough pain she did not need to go through in front of cameras . trey : we had a deal . you gave us full access , okay ? i 'm tired of making exceptions . kristina : exceptions ? trey : i respected your wishes when it came to your family , but kate howard is a celebrity . kristina : and my dad 's girlfriend . he cares about her , and so do i . she 's my family , too . trey : yeah ? what about starr 's family ? you thought about what they might be going through ? [ scene_break ] heather : so , when i asked spinelli about this tape - recording device he had , he gave me some ridiculous story about he was bird - watching and he was looking for cuckoos . todd : [ chuckles ] heather : please reserve all comments . spinelli was there on a job , most likely hired by steven lars ' girlfriend . todd : you really have it in for that woman , do n't you ? heather : no , olivia has it in for me . she 's trying to get in between me and my son , and if she gets one speck of dirt on me , she 's gon na push me out of his life . todd : okay , look , you 've alienated yourself from your son 's girlfriend , that 's your problem , not mine . heather : i was really hoping for a lot more support from you . todd : i gave you a job . how much more support do you need ? look , just because spinelli 's after you does n't mean that he knows anything . heather : oh , so i guess it 's just a coincidence that his partner , sam , came to your office and asked you if she could have a job as your personal assistant . todd : sam needs to make a living . she does n't want to work with spinelli anymore because spinelli is really close with her soon - to - be ex - husband , jason morgan , who -- okay . [ chuckles ] she thinks that jason is responsible for the death of her child , and that 's good for us , because the more -- the more she thinks that , the less likely she is to try to figure out what really happened . heather : how naive can you be ? sam and spinelli are playing you for a fool . [ scene_break ] spinelli : well , thanks to her considerable powers of persuasion , sam is now mr. manning 's assistant , affording her an excellent opportunity to witness todd 's dealings with heather . olivia : how in the hell did that woman manage to get hired anywhere , let alone writing for a newspaper ? spinelli : and the fact that she was able to choose her position ? olivia : see ? right ? there 's no way . there is no way that it was just that easy . now , if i did n't know it better , i would swear that she was blackmailing the guy . spinelli : well , that 's fair samantha 's theory . olivia : well , but -- but how ? what could she possibly have on todd manning ? the guy runs a newspaper empire . and furthermore , he 's only been in town a little while . spinelli : nevertheless , i mean , it 's -- it 's clear that there is some connection . she must have something to hold over todd 's head . and now that fair samantha 's on the case , we will soon now what heather is hiding . [ scene_break ] heather : so , you knew sam was a p.i . but you hired her anyway . spinelli 's not harmless , either . do n't let those puppy - dog eyes and that idiotic way he talks fool you . todd : idiotic . spinelli : uh , just that if you wanted to be of assistance , maybe we could -- uh , maybe we could go to the -- i -- to -- to the -- to the hotel bar . todd : you 're asking me out . spinelli : i - i - i am ? no . [ stammering ] i - i was thinking just on a professional basis , we could discuss the matters at hand over an appropriate libation . todd : i 'm not the first guy to tell you that you talk funny . spinelli : no . todd : did you get beat up on the bus a lot ? spinelli : once . you 're not -- todd : no . well , maybe . but not yet . spinelli : if you want me to adapt my speech , i can modify it perhaps -- todd : you do n't need to . i do n't need to hear any more . i do n't want to hear about anybody else 's personal problems . i 've got enough of my own . spinelli : um , oh . todd : i caught him outside my hotel room the other night . he said he was investigating the guy across the hall . heather : hmm . well , i hope by now you figured out that he 's a spy and samantha 's spying on us and we 're in big trouble here . so what are you waiting for ? you 've got to get rid of her right now . [ scene_break ] maxie : you 're under an incredible amount of stress , and no one would blame you if you needed some help . patrick : well , you do n't have to worry . maxie : well , too late . i 'm worried . patrick : maxie , t - those pills are acetaminophen , okay ? it 's f - for people when they have a headache , like an aspirin . maxie : so , why is n't the bottle labeled ? patrick : because i had a headache at work . my head was pounding . i asked the nurse to grab me some pills out of the drug lockup , but you know , you 're probably right because now i owe the hospital a couple dollars . maxie : [ chuckles ] with the hours you work ? please . look -- sorry you were n't feeling well . i 'm sure i did n't help . patrick : it 's okay . we have both been going through a lot , so i - i can understand how you -- you might have jumped to a conclusion . maxie : yeah , well , i 'm really sorry , okay ? not to mention completely mortified . patrick : you do n't have to worry about me , maxie . i 'm fine . really . [ scene_break ] heather : samantha , dare i ask , why would todd 's new assistant be listening at his office door ? sam : actually , i was just about to knock . i was gon na see if todd needed anything -- todd : oh , no , hey . i 'm all set , you know ? you know what ? why do n't you take the rest of the day off ? sam : yeah , but i just started . todd : yeah , but i 'm not doing much . you know , i 'm just going over the assets and the holdings , and , you know -- sam : i know , but i - i mean , i can help . that 's what i 'm paid for . todd : could you help me tomorrow morning ? let 's say , uh , 9 : 00 a.m. ? can -- can you do it then ? 'cause that would be great . sam : see you tomorrow . todd : okay . heather : why did n't you say anything to her ? todd : like what ? heather : how about `` nice try `` ? sorry . busted `` ? least you could have fired her . todd : no . i have a better idea .

[ scene_break ] johnny : love the mix . really highlights the vocal . nice job . sound technician : a voice like that , no reason to hide it . never know what she 's been through . i heard she lost her daughter and boyfriend in a car accident . johnny : yeah . sound technician : whenever they find who 's responsible , they should hang him .

[ door closes ] spinelli : wait , what are you doing here ? should n't you be pushing papers for todd manning ? sam : i should , but he told me to take the day off . spinelli : on -- on your first day ? that can only mean one thing -- that heather and her boss are on to you . sam : well , i was listening at the door , and i think overheard her say that we were spies . spinelli : that is most unfortunate , and i fear it is all my fault . wait , wait , wait . did todd say just to take the afternoon off ? sam : yeah , he did . spinelli : okay , but if he knows in heather 's words that you are a spy , why would n't he have just fired you ? [ scene_break ] heather : why would you risk keeping sam on the payroll ? todd : really do need to put my name on the door . all we know for sure is that spinelli 's investigating you . this may not have anything to do with me at all . heather : she could still suspect something about the baby . todd : so what ? what 's she gon na do ? it 's not like we gave téa a receipt for the baby . what 's sam gon na do ? get a dna test done on every baby that was born in a storm ? heather : i do n't know . why risk it ? todd : let 's say you 're right and sam is investigating -- heather : i 'm always right . todd : given .

[ next_on ] carly ( to todd ) : why are you trying to help sam ? what 's your deep dark motive ? sam : i am not having this conversation with you . elizabeth : well , that 's too bad , 'cause we 're having it . jason : was that my wife you were talking to ? john : this is going to be a long flight . kristina ( to johnny ) : kate had some sort of breakthrough . kate : i just remembered something . | alexis , sonny , and kate go to kate 's arraignment . sonny says he does not like kate confessing to a crime that she does n't remember committing and opines that if she does n't remember it , she may not have done it . kristina arrives with her film crew and starts instigating trouble . kate tells her to keep her mouth shut when she does n't know the situation . she asks what 's up with the cameras . kristina says they are filming her reality show in which she can tell her point of view and expose her father . kate tells her that they are not there today because sonny committed a crime ; they are there because she did . she reveals that she shot out anthony 's tires . kristina wonders how that is possible . alexis tells kate to stop talking because trey will put it on the internet . sonny says kate never signed a waiver . trey tries to give her one to sign . kristina ca n't believe that kate let sonny go through a trial for her crime . she explains that she did n't know until recently that she was responsible . she reveals that she has d.i.d . and that her alter ego was determined to get sonny out of her life , even though her primary personality loves him . she says she knows it is difficult to comprehend . alexis says she thinks kristina understands more than kate thinks she does . when kate , sonny , and alexis go into the courtroom , trey makes a last plea for kate to sign the waiver , only to have the door slammed in his face . kristina says she does n't want kate 's story on the show . trey asks her why she keeps sabotaging the show , first keeping the cameras out of sam 's hospital room , then not allowing the cameras into sam 's baby 's funeral , and now this . sonny and alexis both apologize to kate for their daughter 's behavior . sonny regrets not breaking the camera equipment the day the camera crew arrives . alexis says they would have lost kristina for good . sonny says kristina would not be able to survive very long on her own so she would come back . sonny tells kate to call him if trey approaches her again . she says she will have to get used to cameras in her face when the news of her crime goes public . sonny tells her that she did n't do anything and she ca n't even remember it so maybe connie did n't either . she says whether she remembers or not , she took two lives . sonny tells kate to do whatever alexis says . kate says she is guilty and does n't want someone else to be investigated for her crime . she says johnny zacchara is the prime suspect but he is innocent . sonny says johnny is not innocent ; at the very least , he is guilty of taking advantage of her when she was connie . kate has a flashback of johnny visiting her when she was in jail for hitting ewen keenan . michael and johnny watch starr singing at the newly renovated haunted star . michael apologizes to johnny for accusing him of causing starr 's accident . johnny says he knows kate did it . starr wonders why johnny has n't gone to the media with that information . johnny says he has no reason to hurt kate . michael tells johnny that if he hurts carly , he will answer to him . johnny accepts michael 's terms . the recording engineer tells johnny that whoever is responsible for the death of starr 's family should be hanged . starr tells michael that she ca n't stand trey . michael says kristina thinks trey is flirting with starr . starr wonders if kristina is interested in trey . michael says kristina said she wants to keep it professional with trey , but he thinks that when kristina realizes how much the show is hurting her sisters , she will want to back out and trey will make a play for her to keep her onboard . starr says she hopes kristina does n't fall for trey because he is a jerk . michael says that is good because she deserves someone who cares about her instead of some jerk that wants to exploit her pain for profit . trey and his crew flood into the haunted star . starr hides her face from the camera . trey says they have to hear what kate howard said . | <s>[INST] johnny : she 's good , is n't she ? michael : she 's amazing . johnny : pretty soon , everybody 's gon na know . michael : thank you . for making this album . it 's really good to see starr so happy . johnny : yeah . she deserves a little bit of happiness , do n't you think ? michael : look , i , uh -- i owe you an apology . blaming you for causing that accident . it was wrong , and i know the truth now . you 're innocent . [ scene_break ] alexis : we 'll be able to present medical testimony to document that kate suffered from d.i.d . and hopefully the court will show some leniency . sonny : i do n't like this -- kate , you know , confessing to a crime she did n't commit , where if she does n't remember , then maybe she did n't do it , right ? kate : but connie did it , sonny . sonny : but it does n't matter . alexis : the important thing is that we get kate out from under the charges and show that she 's not a threat to society . kristina : heard you guys were here . alexis : oh , god . kristina : ca n't say i 'm surprised . what did dad do this time ? sonny : nothing . i did n't do anything , kristina . kristina : is that what your lawyer told you to say ? who knows ? maybe one day it will come true . alexis : not now , kristina . kristina : tell me , mom , what 's the going rate for , uh , selling your soul to the mob these days ?

[ scene_break ] sonny : kristina , show your mom some respect . kristina : i would if she had any respect for herself . how do you do it , mom , hmm ? how do you wake up each morning and look yourself in the mirror and tell yourself you 're so principled and ethical when you 're literally helping dad get away with murder ? sonny : get the -- get the cameras out ! alexis : you 're not doing this here . kristina : well , why not ? we practically live at the courthouse . dad 's -- dad 's been charged with so many crimes , you 've probably forgotten how much . is that why ? alexis : listen to me and stop it , kristina ! kate : kristina , this is not what you think . kristina : you have an amazing life . you run your own magazine . how could you still defend my father ? kate : you have misread the situation . kristina : how is it possible that two smart women sit and defend a man that 's only brought them pain ? kate : how do you qualify yourself to make that judgment when you have no idea what is going on ? kristina : i know this much . my father hurts everyone he supposedly cares about . most of all , his kids . [ scene_break ] starr : so , if we bring the bass up with the bridge , then it 'll work into -- michael : look , um , starr was convinced that my dad is the reason her boyfriend and little girl died . and i knew he was set up . and considering how much you hate him , you were the obvious choice . johnny : it 's no secret that i want your dad to hurt for what he 's done to me , but the only person who was really hurt that night was starr . michael : look , i know you had nothing to do with that accident , and i should have said something the other night when i saw you at my mom 's , but -- johnny : probably were n't too happy seeing me there . michael : look , if my mom wants to forgive you for sleeping with kate -- sorry , connie -- um , that 's her business , you know , not mine . i 'm not gon na judge . johnny : oh . i appreciate that . michael : yeah , but just so we 're clear , if you hurt my mom again -- johnny : your mom gave me a second chance . i 'm not gon na screw that up . michael : good , 'cause if you do , if you hurt my mom , i 'm gon na hurt you . johnny : sounds fair to me . michael : okay . johnny : deal ? michael : deal . [ scene_break ] alexis : if you boys do n't mind , i 'd like to have a discussion with my daughter -- off camera . trey : actually , ms. davis , i 'm afraid that 's not possible . if you recall , your daughter signed a contract granting us full access . kate : i 'm still playing catch - up . kristina , what are you doing ? kristina : starring in my own reality show . alexis : prince charming is exploiting my daughter . trey : okay , look , `` mob princess `` -- kristina : he 's following me around because he actually cares about my point of view . trey : exactly . `` mob princess `` is supposed to give an inside look into a famous crime family -- kate : as i said , kristina , you are misinformed . kristina : now you 're gon na defend my dad some more ? kate : yes , i am gon na defend him . we are not here today because sonny committed a crime . we are here because i did .

[ sighs ] and she smashed your tape recorder . spinelli : yeah . an innocent piece of technology . it did n't see her coming . olivia : w - w - well , you know , it -- it -- it 's not necessarily all bad . you must have had something on the tape recorder for her to blow her stack , right ? spinelli : o - only my observations about the case . olivia : well , how much did she hear ? spinelli : well , merely my suspicions about why she was present in that particular place . olivia : did you say anything about me ? spinelli : it is against p.i . code to , um , to name a client 's name . olivia : okay . well , then , it ca n't be that bad . spinelli : heather figured it out on her own . olivia : [ sighs ] spinelli : she was most irate and insisted that you and i were in cahoots , and she even accused you of using her son 's hard - earned money to pay my fee . olivia : so -- basically , i 'm in heather 's sights now . spinelli : so it would seem .

[ scene_break ] heather : you really think it 's a good idea to spend eight hours a day with that woman ? todd : she 's gon na be answering my phone , opening mail . we 're not roommates . what 's the problem ? heather : you look guilty . it 's as clear as the scar on your face . todd : we took her child away from her , okay ? i told you , i 'm going to do every little thing that i can to try and make things up to her . heather : oh , well , that 's a fair trade . you take her baby and you offer her an entry - level position at the sun ? todd : she 's my assistant . that 's not an entry - level position . heather : well , it is to sam . you see , she has another job . she 's a p.i . , and i would bet her every entry - level dollar you 're paying her of salary that she is a spy and she 's spying on us , and you 've just given her full access , my friend . you 're an idiot ! [ scene_break ] maxie : patrick , i 'm not spying on you . i would n't . patrick : right , so -- so what do you call ransacking the pockets of my clothes ? maxie : an emergency ? i mean , okay , not a real emergency , but i 'd just gotten out of the shower , and i realized that my clothes were in the car . and , well , i did n't think your neighbors would appreciate me running around in the front yard -- patrick : time -- timeout . so then you put the robe back on that i told you not to touch , and then you just happened to put your hand in the pocket ? maxie : yeah , that 's when i found this bottle . patrick : okay . maxie , do you -- do you have any idea how many people are -- are prescribed medication ? maxie : yeah , tons . i know . patrick : right . maxie : and i would n't have even though twice about it except for -- patrick : except for what ? maxie : i remembered how angry you got when you could n't find your robe . patrick : because robin wore that robe . maxie : i know . but i was also wondering if maybe -- well , if you were also upset because you thought i might find these pills . [ scene_break ] alexis : perhaps we should save this conversation till the cameras are n't here . kate : i do n't care about the cameras . kristina , you need to know the truth . i 'm the one that shot out anthony zacchara 's tires last february . kristina : what ? how is that even possible , kate ? alexis : we 're pleading `` not guilty . `` trey : uh , no , actually , she just confessed . i just heard that . alexis : and like the sleazemonger you are , you 'll mess with the footage and -- and -- and edit it so that puts kate in the worst possible light on the internet , even though this is never gon na see air . trey : ms. davis , first off , i am not a sleazemonger , as we 've already established . second of all , this thing will never go on the internet because it really is n't gon na make any sort of real money there . kristina : mom , you agreed to cooperate . trey : no , it 's fine , kristina . i got this . although i must admit , i am slightly offended at your mother 's assessment of my computer skills . if i really wanted to have kate 's confession go viral , i could handle that in about , oh , i do n't know , 10 minutes . sonny : i would advise you not to do that , trey , because she has a right to her privacy . trey : okay , yeah , but i - i have full access , remember ? sonny : you know what ? ms. howard has not signed a release . kate : sonny , it 's all right . i have nothing to hide . trey : that 's what i like to hear . so , all i need -- kristina : wait . trey : -- is a signature . kristina : wait . what you just said -- shooting out the tires and causing the accident -- that was you ? kate : that 's right . i 'm the one who -- who killed starr manning 's boyfriend and their little girl . [ scene_break ] starr : i never thought that i would see this . johnny : uh , well , we finally found something we could agree on . michael : starr , you sounded amazing . starr : you do n't have to say that . johnny : why should n't he ? it 's the truth . of course he should say it . and we can finally give you a venue that 's worthy of your talent . starr : i 'm flattered , but there 's no way you 've renovated this place just so i could sing here . johnny : i needed to make some changes in my life for many reasons . and let 's be honest -- this place needed some renovating . which , by the way , you have n't told me what you think of the improvements . starr : i love them . are you kidding me ? it looks awesome . i would want to come here , even if i was n't singing here . what do you think ? michael : well , i think the place is nice , but , uh , i think the singer is definitely the main draw . starr : thank you . both of you . johnny : you 're welcome . michael : any chance we can hear some more ? starr : no . first i want to know the real reason you two were talking . johnny : it 's no big deal . michael : i was , uh , apologizing to johnny for something that he did n't do . starr : the accident . michael : yeah . i , uh -- look , we were hoping to put it behind us and not talk about it again . starr : no , i - it 's okay . i understand what happened and why . johnny : so do i. i just recently found out that kate was the one who shot out anthony 's tires . starr : you did ? well , what are you doing still standing here ? i would think you 'd be on the phone with every newspaper in the country by now . johnny : why ? so i could hurt sonny ? starr : no . so you could also clear your name . johnny : kate 's been through a lot , and i do n't want to hurt her any more than i already have . starr : you 're being very compassionate towards her . johnny : well , do n't give me too much credit . starr : too late . saying things like that , i know that i was right to put my faith in you . [ scene_break ] todd : maybe you were locked up for so long that you forgot how to read , but it is my name on that name plate -- well , it -- it will be my name on that name plate as soon as sam puts my name plate on the door . my point is that you do n't get to walk into this space . this is my office . you do n't get to call me an idiot . heather : that 's why i miss ferncliff . there you did n't have to sugarcoat the truth . todd : you 're so big on the truth ? you want to go out there ? let 's go out there . come on . let 's go tell sam the truth . let 's go tell her that she 's grieving for a baby that 's not even dead . heather : the longer you keep sam here , the more likely she is to put all the pieces together . and then you want to guess who 's gon na be grieving ? that 's right . your ex - wife . you remember , the one whose husband you killed . and now you want to take away her son ? todd : no . heather : well , then you only have one option . fire sam . todd : fire her ? she -- she has n't even filled out her paperwork . heather : you ca n't have a p.i . working here . todd : sam has , uh , retired from her career as a private investigator . heather : oh , is that what she told you ? todd : yeah . i -- she wants to make a fresh start . i ca n't say i blame her . she carried a child around for nine months and then she loses her son . she thinks that her son is dead . who wants to go back to a life filled with all of those little reminders ? heather : it sounds like you 're projecting . todd : i understand . i do n't ever want to spend another day in llanview . everybody looking -- look at you [ clears throat ] with this disappointment in their eyes , this pity . heather : why would anybody pity you ? todd : my sister , viki , she -- she looks at me like that . says i could have my old life back , but i threw it all away by killing my brother , victor . who says i want my old life back ? maybe i want to make a fresh start . maybe that 's what i 'm doing for sam . heather : a fresh start ? todd : yeah . heather : boy , is she working you . todd : no . you 're wrong . heather : really ? then why did i just catch her partner following me ? [ scene_break ] spinelli : so , thanks to my less - than - stellar stealth , heather is now gunning for olivia . sam : well , do n't blame yourself . heather will go after anyone who looks at her cross - eyed . spinelli : speaking of , how did she react to the news of your employment ? sam : not so good . she pulled todd into the office , and i 'm certainly sure it 's not to congratulate him on his new assistant , and i 've been trying to overhear what they 're saying , but no luck so far . spinelli : i must advise caution . there is no telling what heather might do next . sam : got it . talk to you later . [ scene_break ] johnny : ah . enough about me . i want to hear the playback of that song again . starr : but it was n't even a recording . it was just a sound check . johnny : whatever you were doing sounded great . starr : [ sighs ] michael : johnny 's right . you sounded amazing . starr : thank you . i mean , it does feel like everything is going right for the first time in months . except for my new roommate . michael : trey ? starr : yeah . michael : what are you talking about ? the guy seems perfect . starr : oh , i know . he only leaves gross , crusty dishes in the sink , and we got into a huge argument this morning because he swore that he was a neat freak . michael : he 's definitely some kind of freak . starr : he makes me wish that i had moved in with my dad at his hotel . not that i want my dad watching me 24/7 , but seriously , i - i do n't even care 'cause there would be a maid service . michael : that is true . starr : i 'm sorry . i am ranting on and on , but -- i just ca n't stand trey . michael : huh . starr : `` huh `` ? what does that mean ? michael : um , no , it 's just something that kristina said the other night when we had dinner at your house . starr : and what 's that ? michael : she thinks that the way trey is always trying to make you mad is , uh , is a way of flirting with you . starr : she knows we 're not in second grade , right ? michael : yeah , she does . still , she seems to be taking it pretty hard . starr : why would kristina care if trey was flirting with me ? is kristina interested in trey ? [ scene_break ] sonny : she 's not gon na say anymore . kate : sonny , i - i want to do this . sonny : you need -- you need to do this ? kate : i do . when your father went on trial , i was n't aware of what i 'd done . kristina : how could you forget causing an accident that -- that killed two people ? kate : because i have an illness , kristina . i have d.i.d . -- dissociative identity disorder . it 's a medical condition for split personality . kristina : you 're serious . trey : god , this just keeps getting better and better . kate : for a long time , i had no recollection of what i 'd done . i still do n't remember some things . sonny : kate was n't responsible for anything that happened . kristina : why would the other personality shoot out anthony zacchara 's tires ? kate : to frame your father . she thought sonny was dangerous , and she wanted him out of my -- out of our life . kristina : even though you love him ? kate : even though . she wants to hurt sonny . i know it 's difficult to understand . alexis : actually , i think kristina might understand this a lot better than you think . [ scene_break ] patrick : so -- so you think i 'm hiding medication in the pocket of my robe . maxie : i do n't know what to -- to think , but i 'm worried about you . and -- and lulu said that the only way to figure it out was to ask -- patrick : wait a second . lulu ? maxie , you talked to lulu about this ? maxie : it was n't like i was gossiping . i just -- patrick : no ? well , it sure as hell sounds like it to me . maxie : lulu had just come by a little while ago , and i just found the pills , but she told me the only way to find out was to ask you , so this is me asking . patrick : those pills are none of your business . maxie : [ scoffs ] okay . look , maybe i 'm a little over - sensitive about the subject because i 'll forever be known as the girl who supplied lucky with drugs just so he would sleep with me . but [ sighs ] i mean , i ignored all the alarms that were going off in my mind , and -- and i pretended to believe him , and i just do n't want to make that mistake again . patrick : okay , well , i think you 're right . i - i think -- i think you 're being a little over - sensitive . maxie : okay , well -- look , even if you do n't blame me for what happened with lucky -- and trust me , you would definitely be one of the few -- i - i mean , you have to admit that i was enabling him . patrick : you 're not enabling me . maxie : yeah , well , i would be if i knew you were in trouble and i did n't do anything about it , so -- are you in trouble ? [ scene_break ] michael : whatever kristina feels about trey , she wants to keep it professional . starr : sounds like a good idea . michael : yeah , does n't mean trey agrees . would n't surprise me if he tries to make a play for kristina . starr : but the `` mob princess `` show seems so important to trey . why would he risk things by getting involved with the main star of the show ? michael : makes it easier to exploit her . starr : but the way they were talking , i mean , it sounded like kristina and trey came up with the concept of the show together . michael : no . trey found where she is vulnerable , and then he used it . starr : i 'm sorry , but your sister does n't seem vulnerable to me . michael : [ chuckles ] kristina and my dad are exactly alike . when my dad gets mad , he starts making ultimatums . and kristina , she overreacts and does something stupid to defy him . this whole reality show is just the latest worst example . starr : okay . i still do n't see how any of this is trey 's fault , not that i 'm defending him , trust me . michael : kristina loves her family , and -- and when she sees this whole thing is hurting them , especially her sisters , i - i think she 's gon na back out . starr : oh , so , trey 's going to pretend like he 's interested in kristina in order to keep her with the project . michael : pretty much , yeah . starr : wow . well , i hope that kristina is n't really interested in trey , because if she were , i would feel sorry for her . i think he 's a jerk . michael : that 's good . [ scene_break ] sonny : i think that 's enough for now . trey : miss howard , this is a powerful story that needs to be told , but i - i ca n't put any of it on the air unless you sign this release ! okay , we got to get in there for that arraignment . this is gon na be the high point of the episode . kristina : i do n't think this should go on the air . trey : maybe you can talk to your parents , all right ? we can get a wrap - up interview -- kristina : did you just how upset kate was ? i do n't want to make this worse for her . trey : no , no . it 's fine . we can totally spin it and make it sympathetic . kristina : better idea ? we leave kate out of the show completely . trey : okay . i thought you shared my vision . i thought we were in this together . kristina : we are . i do . trey : then why do you keep sabotaging us at a very turn ? kristina : what are you talking about ? trey : first you would n't allow the cameras in the hospital with sam . then you sent them away from the funeral . kristina : my sister was burying her baby . sam was in enough pain she did not need to go through in front of cameras . trey : we had a deal . you gave us full access , okay ? i 'm tired of making exceptions . kristina : exceptions ? trey : i respected your wishes when it came to your family , but kate howard is a celebrity . kristina : and my dad 's girlfriend . he cares about her , and so do i . she 's my family , too . trey : yeah ? what about starr 's family ? you thought about what they might be going through ? [ scene_break ] heather : so , when i asked spinelli about this tape - recording device he had , he gave me some ridiculous story about he was bird - watching and he was looking for cuckoos . todd : [ chuckles ] heather : please reserve all comments . spinelli was there on a job , most likely hired by steven lars ' girlfriend . todd : you really have it in for that woman , do n't you ? heather : no , olivia has it in for me . she 's trying to get in between me and my son , and if she gets one speck of dirt on me , she 's gon na push me out of his life . todd : okay , look , you 've alienated yourself from your son 's girlfriend , that 's your problem , not mine . heather : i was really hoping for a lot more support from you . todd : i gave you a job . how much more support do you need ? look , just because spinelli 's after you does n't mean that he knows anything . heather : oh , so i guess it 's just a coincidence that his partner , sam , came to your office and asked you if she could have a job as your personal assistant . todd : sam needs to make a living . she does n't want to work with spinelli anymore because spinelli is really close with her soon - to - be ex - husband , jason morgan , who -- okay . [ chuckles ] she thinks that jason is responsible for the death of her child , and that 's good for us , because the more -- the more she thinks that , the less likely she is to try to figure out what really happened . heather : how naive can you be ? sam and spinelli are playing you for a fool . [ scene_break ] spinelli : well , thanks to her considerable powers of persuasion , sam is now mr. manning 's assistant , affording her an excellent opportunity to witness todd 's dealings with heather . olivia : how in the hell did that woman manage to get hired anywhere , let alone writing for a newspaper ? spinelli : and the fact that she was able to choose her position ? olivia : see ? right ? there 's no way . there is no way that it was just that easy . now , if i did n't know it better , i would swear that she was blackmailing the guy . spinelli : well , that 's fair samantha 's theory . olivia : well , but -- but how ? what could she possibly have on todd manning ? the guy runs a newspaper empire . and furthermore , he 's only been in town a little while . spinelli : nevertheless , i mean , it 's -- it 's clear that there is some connection . she must have something to hold over todd 's head . and now that fair samantha 's on the case , we will soon now what heather is hiding . [ scene_break ] heather : so , you knew sam was a p.i . but you hired her anyway . spinelli 's not harmless , either . do n't let those puppy - dog eyes and that idiotic way he talks fool you . todd : idiotic . spinelli : uh , just that if you wanted to be of assistance , maybe we could -- uh , maybe we could go to the -- i -- to -- to the -- to the hotel bar . todd : you 're asking me out . spinelli : i - i - i am ? no . [ stammering ] i - i was thinking just on a professional basis , we could discuss the matters at hand over an appropriate libation . todd : i 'm not the first guy to tell you that you talk funny . spinelli : no . todd : did you get beat up on the bus a lot ? spinelli : once . you 're not -- todd : no . well , maybe . but not yet . spinelli : if you want me to adapt my speech , i can modify it perhaps -- todd : you do n't need to . i do n't need to hear any more . i do n't want to hear about anybody else 's personal problems . i 've got enough of my own . spinelli : um , oh . todd : i caught him outside my hotel room the other night . he said he was investigating the guy across the hall . heather : hmm . well , i hope by now you figured out that he 's a spy and samantha 's spying on us and we 're in big trouble here . so what are you waiting for ? you 've got to get rid of her right now . [ scene_break ] maxie : you 're under an incredible amount of stress , and no one would blame you if you needed some help . patrick : well , you do n't have to worry . maxie : well , too late . i 'm worried . patrick : maxie , t - those pills are acetaminophen , okay ? it 's f - for people when they have a headache , like an aspirin . maxie : so , why is n't the bottle labeled ? patrick : because i had a headache at work . my head was pounding . i asked the nurse to grab me some pills out of the drug lockup , but you know , you 're probably right because now i owe the hospital a couple dollars . maxie : [ chuckles ] with the hours you work ? please . look -- sorry you were n't feeling well . i 'm sure i did n't help . patrick : it 's okay . we have both been going through a lot , so i - i can understand how you -- you might have jumped to a conclusion . maxie : yeah , well , i 'm really sorry , okay ? not to mention completely mortified . patrick : you do n't have to worry about me , maxie . i 'm fine . really . [ scene_break ] heather : samantha , dare i ask , why would todd 's new assistant be listening at his office door ? sam : actually , i was just about to knock . i was gon na see if todd needed anything -- todd : oh , no , hey . i 'm all set , you know ? you know what ? why do n't you take the rest of the day off ? sam : yeah , but i just started . todd : yeah , but i 'm not doing much . you know , i 'm just going over the assets and the holdings , and , you know -- sam : i know , but i - i mean , i can help . that 's what i 'm paid for . todd : could you help me tomorrow morning ? let 's say , uh , 9 : 00 a.m. ? can -- can you do it then ? 'cause that would be great . sam : see you tomorrow . todd : okay . heather : why did n't you say anything to her ? todd : like what ? heather : how about `` nice try `` ? sorry . busted `` ? least you could have fired her . todd : no . i have a better idea . [ scene_break ] sonny : hey . kate : hey . sonny : how you holding up ? kate : i 'm nervous . sonny : i 'm sorry you had to deal with that garbage in the hall , and i apologize for my daughter . alexis : [ sighs ] me , too . sonny : this whole situation is unacceptable . it really , really is . alexis : her behavior is unbelievable . i agree . however , that so - called producer , he 's worse . sonny : i - i should have crushed him and his camera crew the second he set foot in your house . alexis : when did i cede authority in my house ? sonny : you know what i 'm talking about . i do n't have to explain to you . alexis : i know , but then we would have had a bunch of broken video equipment . what 's that gon na prove ? sonny : it would have made me feel a lot better , and that guy would be out of our lives for good . alexis : so would our daughter . sonny : you know what ? if -- if she -- if she turns her back on us , do you think she 's gon na be able to survive in the real world ? alexis : you know , i would prefer not to find out . she is so much like you . she can go a long way fueled on her anger . sonny : okay , you need to deal with kristina , 'cause i do n't know how much longer i can deal with this trey guy . alexis : i do n't like him any better than you . i think he 's a - a -- - sonny : sleazemonger ? is that what you said ? alexis : i can think of a lot worse words . sonny : kate . if -- if this slimeball approaches you again , i want you to come to me , all right ? kate : you know , i - i have to get used to having cameras in my face , sonny , because when this becomes public , everyone 's gon na know what i did . sonny : whatever you did , you ca n't even remember , so what are you even talking about ? kate : i know you do n't want to believe i did this , sonny . there 's a part of me that does n't , either , but it happened , all right ? whether or not i can remember , i took the lives of two innocent people . sonny : you did not do anything , and you ca n't blame yourself . kate : well , at least the investigation 's over . nobody else will be falsely accused of what i did . [ scene_break ] johnny : love the mix . really highlights the vocal . nice job . sound technician : a voice like that , no reason to hide it . never know what she 's been through . i heard she lost her daughter and boyfriend in a car accident . johnny : yeah . sound technician : whenever they find who 's responsible , they should hang him . [ scene_break ] starr : why is it good if i think trey 's a jerk ? michael : uh -- i do n't know . i do n't -- i do n't want him to use you the way that he 's been using kristina . starr : oh , well , i 'm not going to sign up for a reality show . i would never do that . you do n't have to worry about it . michael : trey seems pretty resourceful . i 'm pretty sure he can find a way to exploit you . starr : and you do n't think i can handle myself ? michael : no , it 's not that . you 've been through a lot . you -- you should focus on your music career , not some jerk with an agenda . starr : you 're right , and hopefully he wo n't pay his half of the rent so i can force him out . [ laughs ] michael : okay , if you need any help with that , please let me know , because there 's nothing i 'd like more than to throw trey out on the streets . starr : oh , and i 'm sure your sister would just love that . michael : probably , but , um , i 'm not worried about kristina . you are a different story . look , just please , if -- if -- if you want trey out , let me know . starr : do n't get too excited about it . i 'm sure he 's going to pay his half of the rent just so that he can stick around and annoy me . michael : yeah , well , you deserve somebody better than that , somebody who treats you right and with respect , not somebody who 's out to make money off your grief . you deserve somebody who actually cares about you . telephone rings ] [ scene_break ] patrick : all right , well , [ clears throat ] if you do n't mind , in case i have another one of those days -- maxie : oh . right . here . patrick : thank you . now , i have to go change because i have to pick up emma from day camp , and maybe today she wo n't be the last one waiting . [ scene_break ] spinelli : [ sighs ] hell hath no fury like heather webber scorned . sam : hi , spinelli . spinelli : hey . [ door closes ] spinelli : wait , what are you doing here ? should n't you be pushing papers for todd manning ? sam : i should , but he told me to take the day off . spinelli : on -- on your first day ? that can only mean one thing -- that heather and her boss are on to you . sam : well , i was listening at the door , and i think overheard her say that we were spies . spinelli : that is most unfortunate , and i fear it is all my fault . wait , wait , wait . did todd say just to take the afternoon off ? sam : yeah , he did . spinelli : okay , but if he knows in heather 's words that you are a spy , why would n't he have just fired you ? [ scene_break ] heather : why would you risk keeping sam on the payroll ? todd : really do need to put my name on the door . all we know for sure is that spinelli 's investigating you . this may not have anything to do with me at all . heather : she could still suspect something about the baby . todd : so what ? what 's she gon na do ? it 's not like we gave téa a receipt for the baby . what 's sam gon na do ? get a dna test done on every baby that was born in a storm ? heather : i do n't know . why risk it ? todd : let 's say you 're right and sam is investigating -- heather : i 'm always right . todd : given . [ chuckles ] so what ? would n't it be better to keep her close , that way i can see her going behind my back ? heather : you 're just making excuses . that 's your guilty conscience talking . if you 're not careful , you 're gon na take us both down .

liam agrees with bill that hope did a lot of things , including taking a feel - good pill and then skiing , that she should n't have . and it was n't a dear john letter , but she left a note on the door and went back to l.a . he stayed at the house for a while with steffy . brooke is giddy with wedding plans , even suggesting they get far away from all the press by going to italy , a very romantic spot . bill is not happy to hear that steffy gave liam the signed annulment papers , but then happy when liam tells him that he tore them up . bill reminds him that a woman like steffy is not going to wait around forever . he wants to know what is really going on with liam . he states that he believes liam is finally realizing that steffy is the woman for him ; let hope go . hope walks in at that moment as bill is leaving . they hug and she apologizes for leaving him in aspen . she realizes she has said this before and there is no reason for him to believe it , but she is done with the pills . she did n't stay true to herself by moving in with him before marriage . she feels she has to move out . she knows she will disappoint him , but they have been tested and made it through . now they can concentrate on their wedding just around the corner . the dark days are behind them and she wants to hear him say that he believes that . she needs to hear him say that he still wants to marry her . | <s>[INST] brooke : oh , honey . i did n't expect you this early . hope : oh , i did n't really sleep last night , so ... brooke : talking with liam ?

[ scene_break ] bill : so you and steffy were at the house together after hope left aspen ? liam : yeah , i mean , i could n't let her stay in a hotel . she just got released from the hospital . bill : no , of course not . you could n't do that . i mean , you were being a good husband . i 'm proud of you . what happened ? liam : she gave me something . bill : what ? liam : the annulment papers ... signed . bill : ( sighs ) well , i ca n't say i 'm happy to hear that . liam : i tore them up , dad . bill : that sounded like you said , `` you tore them up . `` liam : i tore them up . i do n't want to do this anymore . i do n't want to pretend like our marriage never happened . bill : so steffy releases you , gives you your freedom , and you reject it ? you know what that means , right ? liam : try not to read too much into it . bill : did it ever occur to you that maybe steffy wants her freedom ? she 's had enough of this nonsense , and she wants to move on ? liam : yes . yeah , it did occur to me . bill : a woman like steffy is not gon na wait around forever . how many times have i told you that ? liam : i know that , dad . it 's not that she wanted to blow off the marriage . bill : that 's what an annulment is , liam . liam : i kissed her . i kissed her . bill : all right , i am the smartest guy , but i 'm having a little trouble keeping up with this . liam : i know . after i tore up the papers and threw them in the fire , i walked right over to her , and i took her in my arms , and ... i kissed her . bill : what 's going on with you , son ?

( sighs ) [ scene_break ] hope : ( sighs ) liam : you left early this morning . you did n't wake me up . hope : yeah . ( sighs ) yeah , i , uh , i wanted to clear my head before we talked , you know ? oh , i , uh , i went to see my psychiatrist yesterday , um , as soon as i got off the plane . liam : yeah , it -- it was tough what happened in aspen . hope : but i think it was good . i learned a lot . liam , i 'm so sorry that i ... crashed into steffy . i ... i want to see her so i can apologize and explain everything to her , you know , tell her that i was ... under the influence and never should have been on that mountain . liam , you do know that with those pills , right ? they are gone from i - i - i 'm not ever going to take another one again . and -- and i - i do n't expect you to really believe me when i say that , because i 've said it before , but ... i really know that this time , i - i 'm gon na live up to it . and , um , i 've made another decision . liam , i think that moving in together when we did was a mistake . i should n't have done it . i mean , when you think about it , that 's when everything started going wrong for us . i did n't stay true to myself . and that is really what 's messing with me . and i feel like there 's really only one way to fix it . liam , i have to move out . liam : whoa . wow . hope : i 've disappointed you , and i 'm ... i am so sorry . i disappointed myself even , and -- and i know that we would n't be here if steffy had just signed the annulment papers , but she did n't . and it is what it is , but ... maybe it 's for the best . i 've been tested , liam . we 've been tested , and we made it through . and from now on , my eyes are only on the future , on a life with you , and a wedding that -- that really is just around the corner . and , liam , do n't let them get to you -- your father and steffy . i know what they think of me . i know what they think . they think i am nuts , that i 'm out of control , and ... liam : ( sighs ) hope : let 's face it , in aspen , i was . i was , i 'll admit it . but those dark days are behind us . tell me you believe that . you believe it , right ? you have n't given up on us . we 'll be married , and we will have a wonderful life together . well , that -- that 's what you want , too , right ? liam , tell me you still want to marry me .Summarize.[/INST]this time , bill knocks on liam 's door instead of just letting himself in . hope is not there . she is with brooke , having left the house before liam woke up . she would like to know what happened in aspen after she left . brooke asks , but hope is not sure she wants to move out of liam 's without being married first . she made a lot of promises that now seems to be a pattern that she caused and then does n't deliver . so she needs to do something about it . suddenly she makes up her mind she is going to move out . when the divorce is final , they will marry and do it right this time . steffy fills stephanie in on what happened with hope in aspen and that it was liam that found and rescued her . and the best part is she had an epiphany ; she signed the annulment papers . it did n't matter because she saw how he stayed with her on the mountain and at the hospital . she knows he will always love her and eventually come back to her . stephanie quips that she needs a drink ; when is this man going to make up his mind ? liam agrees with bill that hope did a lot of things , including taking a feel - good pill and then skiing , that she should n't have . and it was n't a dear john letter , but she left a note on the door and went back to l.a . he stayed at the house for a while with steffy . brooke is giddy with wedding plans , even suggesting they get far away from all the press by going to italy , a very romantic spot . bill is not happy to hear that steffy gave liam the signed annulment papers , but then happy when liam tells him that he tore them up . bill reminds him that a woman like steffy is not going to wait around forever . he wants to know what is really going on with liam . he states that he believes liam is finally realizing that steffy is the woman for him ; let hope go . hope walks in at that moment as bill is leaving . they hug and she apologizes for leaving him in aspen . she realizes she has said this before and there is no reason for him to believe it , but she is done with the pills . she did n't stay true to herself by moving in with him before marriage . she feels she has to move out . she knows she will disappoint him , but they have been tested and made it through . now they can concentrate on their wedding just around the corner . the dark days are behind them and she wants to hear him say that he believes that . she needs to hear him say that he still wants to marry her .</s> | 403 |

i think ... i think that that guy lauretano 's full of it , you know ? i mean , why are we trusting him anyway ? i think my dad is wrong . i think that he -- i mean , he was willing to shoot at a -- at john in a crowd of innocent people . so obviously , he 's psychotic . rafe : just try and calm down . sami : well , what about if maybe he 's working with someone ? maybe there 's some other guy involved , and maybe that guy took johnny . you know , i mean -- rafe : sami , stop . you ca n't always imagine the worst - case scenario . sami : look , this is my son . this is our son we are talking about here . come on , you heard him . you saw how scared he was from the shots . do you really think he does n't want to be with us right now ? he 's got ta be doing whatever he can to get to us , and we have to make sure we help him . ej : samantha , listen , i 'm not waiting for the police to find my son -- my men are looking . rafe : i thought you were told to wait for the police . ej : the police are n't doing anything , rafe , all right ?

i mean , what do you think the chances are that ej has him ? kate : okay , look . i know you 're upset . ej : i 'm not upset , all right ? kate : you never answered my question . the attempt on john 's life -- was your father involved ? my sinus symptoms come with a cough ej : i can understand why you might suspect that father had some involvement in john 's shooting , given the history , but i can assure you -- listen , if father wanted that guy dead , he would be dead . kate : okay , but that does n't answer my question , now , does it ? ej : i 'll answer your question then , all right ? neither my father nor i had anything to do with that shooting , all right ? are we clear ? that 's the truth . kate : okay . ej : okay ? kate : okay . then i 'll believe you . i mean , i suppose it is possible that that cop or ex - cop or whatever he is could have just been seeking revenge , right ? there are a lot of angry people out there , angry that they think that john stole their pension . i , for one , am not one of them , but ... ej : why ? kate : because that 's not who john is . ej : really ? sure about that ? kate : as sure as i can be . ej : well ... people are not always who they seem to be . you more than anybody should know that . rafe : roman . sami : dad ! rafe : did he say anything else ? roman : nothing we can go on . sami : i do n't understand why you are so sure that lauretano did n't have anything to do with taking johnny . ej : look , roman , obviously he knows who john is , he knows who his family is . he knew where he was going to be today . sami : i think there 's a very good chance that he did it , and he did it for revenge against john . roman : nothing is sure , but i do n't think so . the way the guy shot up the pub , his target was john . he did n't have a backup plan . ej : so what now ? roman : my men have taken lauretano down to the station . read him his rights . he 's being processed . ej : [ stammers ] we need answers now , okay ? not an hour from now -- now ! roman : wait a minute . let me get this straight . you telling me how to do my job , ej ? ej : yes ! we 're not getting any results when your men are spinning their wheels and they 're wasting time in following procedure . you understand that my son could be out there -- he could be hurt , he could be anything , roman ! madison : come on , sami , what did you call the file ? [ sighs ] brady : well , yes , that 's why titan 's trying to get johnny 's picture out to every media outlet possible . i do n't care that they 're competitors . just do it asap . roman : i know your family does n't have a lot of respect for the law , but if we do n't follow procedure with the suspect in custody , he 'll walk . and i really do n't want a dangerous guy like that walking around salem . do you , ej ? ej : my complaint is the police seem more interested in protecting this man than finding my son . rafe : all right , come on , let 's not be ridiculous . what are they supposed to do , ej , torture the guy ? ej : i do n't care , all right ? just find him , okay ? the longer he 's out there , the more danger he 's in . roman : we are doing everything possible . we 've expanded the search outside the city limits . we 've notified every police department within a 50-mile radius . ej : well , i 'm sure you think that 's very reassuring but , uh , he 's a small boy . how far , exactly , do you think he 's got , hmm ? i mean , he 's at the pub , and all of your police officers turn up , and yet somehow he manages to find his way out . you were there -- you were there ! the ineptitude of your police department boggles the mind ! abe : you know , that -- that 's enough . this is roman 's grandson too . ej : of course , here we are , the man who defends john black defending his inept department . abe : always blaming people . ej : no , i blame you ! i blame you for somebody being able to shoot john . i blame you for my son 's disappearance . you 're responsible ! abe : the feds were in charge of security . ej : oh , now who 's passing the buck ? look , could you just do me a favor , all right ? you 're all very right . i just need you to please find my son . sami : please . please ... do something . roman : again , ej , we are doing everything we can . ej : yes , you keep saying that . roman : yes , i do , and for the record , the guys you got out there searching have n't found him either , and they 're just making things worse . sami : look , i do n't understand why we 're all still just standing here doing nothing ! ej : because the police department 's completely inept ! lexie : ej , ej , honey , i know what you 're going through . i know what you 're going through . but pointing fingers wo n't help , okay ? ej : lexie , maybe my emotions are getting the better of me , but the fact is , this should never have happened . lexie : i know ... ej : i have no idea how this was allowed to happen . lexie : i know , i know . kate : stefano , it 's me . um ... i assume you know by now that they found out it was a disgruntled cop who took that shot at john . i know that you 're out looking for giovanni , and i just wanted to tell you that i am so sorry . call me when you get a chance . i love you . madison : kate . kate : madison . madison : well , you look surprised to see me . kate : no . madison : really ? because your face says otherwise . kate : yeah , well , i guess i 'm just not used to seeing you out and around . madison : maybe you should get used to it , since we 're both operating our businesses here . kate : you know , i 'm thinking that there might not be enough room in this town for both of us . madison : i could n't agree more . i think it 's time for you to pack and go . kate : i was just about to say the same thing to you . you see , i am going to be the last woman standing . madison : famous last words , kate . actually , i 'm not really interested in having this conversation with you . i have far more important things to do . kate : so do i , madison . so do i . brady : sami , listen , i have an entire news crew working to get the word out on johnny , all right ? someone has to have seen him . jennifer : abe put out a plea . he has volunteer search parties organized . anything else we can do , let us know , okay ? rafe : you guys are amazing . thank you . all we need is one good tip to send us in the right direction . jennifer : hey , hey ... why do n't we go sit down ? you look exhausted . come on . brady : hi . madison : is there any news ? brady : no . no , afraid not . but i was n't expecting to see you here . the meeting -- madison : i cancelled it . brady : i was n't expecting that either . madison : neither was i . roman : all right , well , good . thanks . rafe : hey . roman : we got a lead . ej : planning on telling me ? roman : somebody called in after abe 's tv appearance . said they saw a boy fitting johnny 's description out by the woods about a mile outside of town . ej : what ? let 's get down there ! roman : we will . but we ca n't fly blind , all right ? leads do n't always pan out , and i do n't wan na get my daughter 's hopes up -- not yet . ej : well , but , this could be valuable information , okay ? if somebody 's seen johnny , then we need to -- roman : we do n't know it 's johnny yet , all right ? we do n't know anything for sure , ej , so get yourself together , okay ? for sami 's sake . she 's emotional as hell right now . ej : you do n't say . roman : yeah ! and that emotion could lead to irrational behavior , and we do n't want that , do we ? ej : well , thank you for that , dr . freud . rafe : so you 're saying that we should n't say anything to her . ej : right . no , that 's perfect , is n't it ? let 's not tell the hypersensitive woman anything that might upset her delicate sensibilities ... right ? we 'll leave all the hard work to the big , tough policemen . roman : ej , do you ever get tired of listening to yourself and being like this ? rafe : whoa , whoa , whoa , what is it -- you think if we tell her , that she 's gon na want to go . roman : exactly . so can we stop bickering and get on with our work ? ej : idiots . roman : sami . we 're gon na go check some things out , try to gather some new leads , see where that takes us . sami : i 'm gon na stay here . i just wan na be here if -- when johnny ... jennifer : yeah . sami : is found . jennifer : we 'll stay here with her . lexie : absolutely . we 'll stay . ej : samantha . i promise you , i 'm going to find him if it is the last thing that i do . brady : so you cancelled the meeting with finnerman to be here ? madison : i did . brady : madison , that 's -- madison : okay , listen , i know the meeting was important . but i also know when i go in for an appointment and my head is not fully in the game , i can do more harm than good . brady : that 's smart . madison : i was working on the presentation . i just was n't ... i was n't getting anywhere , you know ? all i could think about was sami ... how awful this must be for her . i just ... johnny 's the sweetest kid . i feel really lucky i got to meet him . brady : he 's very sweet . he 's the best . madison : i know there 's nothing i can do , but ... brady : wait . actually , there is something i think you could do . madison : really ? brady : you 're sami 's boss . you came down here because obviously you care . i think she should know that . i think you should tell her exactly what you told me , and i think that would make her feel a lot better . kate : is this joel finnerman ? hi ! katherine dimera . oh , i know . same here . yeah . well , i heard through the grapevine that you 're in town . oh , your meeting was cancelled . how unfortunate . oh , i know , i would love to meet up with you too , i really would , but i 'm a little tied up here . i know . tell you what , though . if you 're looking to fill some time , why do n't you stop by the countess wilhelmina office space ? it 's my new space . oh , no , my staff would love to give you a tour . uh - huh . oh , i guarantee you 're gon na be impressed . okay , then . you stay in touch . bye . brady : hey . lexie : hey . brady : do you mind if , um , we talk ? jennifer : oh , no . no , that 's fine -- i 'm gon na check in with abigail anyway . lexie : yeah , i 'll check in with abe , see if there 's any news , okay ? sami : hey , so , um ... what are you doing here ? madison : sami , i 'm so sorry for what you must be going through . sami : oh , god , we had that meeting . and i did n't even call to let you know -- madison : no , no , no , listen , do n't worry about it . work is the last thing you should be worried about now . you need to find your son . that 's all that matters . sami : thank you . madison : honey , listen to me . work is my life . i admit that . but i know what really matters . do you remember back in the day i had younger brothers and sisters that i helped raise ? i do n't know what i would do if something happened to them , and i 'm not trying to make this about me . sami : you 're not . madison : i know that you 're gon na find johnny . sami : uh ... i appreciate your support . a lot . it 's just with every moment that passes it 's , uh ... it 's just hard , really hard to stay positive .

rafe : sami ... hey . we 'll find him . sami : look , if it 's true , if lauretano was shooting at john ... and he did n't take johnny , then that just means that anything is possible , that some psycho could have our son . that he could be anywhere . anything could be happening to him right now . brady : thank you for understanding . madison : are you kidding me ? of course . look , family first , always . especially at a time like this . brady : the only reason i came to titan is i wan na get johnny 's picture plastered all over our network , but ... madison : i know , i know . brady : i completely forgot that that meeting was today , madison , and i 'm sorry -- madison : look , do n't even worry about it . seriously , meetings like this -- i can do this in my sleep . it 's fine . brady : you 're lying . i know this is a big deal . madison : yeah , it is , but i 'm good . brady : i know you 're good . madison : go . you need to go be with sami . i 'm gon na ... i 'm gon na rock this meeting . brady : but any other day , i 'd be happy to help you out , but i 'm just -- madison : i know ! seriously ... i know . go do what you have to do . i got this . i 'll take care of it . go be with sami . brady : thank you . madison : okay . abe : i would like to continue on that subject for a moment . i 've just been informed by the police that the man who attempted to take john black 's life is in custody and is being questioned by the police . now , i know many of you are upset at losing your life 's savings . i understand . but violence is never the answer . i must also say that i deeply regret ... that shortly after this shooting incident , a young boy went missing ... johnny dimera . now , perhaps one of you has seen him . the police search is ongoing . but if you have any information at all related to this search , please contact the police at the number shown on the bottom of the screen . we all pray for johnny 's safe return . as the father of a young boy myself , i know the pain this boy 's family 's in . and as your mayor , i am honored to lead this community ... a community whose citizens always reach out to their neighbors in a time of crisis . thank you ... and god bless . jennifer : thank you very much . abe , that was perfect . that was well done . abe : all right , thank you . i just hope it helps . look , we got ta head on in and see if we can find your brother . lexie : honey , uh , you do n't have to go with me . abe : this is sami 's son . it 's roman 's grandson . we love johnny . we have to be there for our friends and our family . come on . jennifer : yeah , come on . sami : you know what ? i think ... i think that that guy lauretano 's full of it , you know ? i mean , why are we trusting him anyway ? i think my dad is wrong . i think that he -- i mean , he was willing to shoot at a -- at john in a crowd of innocent people . so obviously , he 's psychotic . rafe : just try and calm down . sami : well , what about if maybe he 's working with someone ? maybe there 's some other guy involved , and maybe that guy took johnny . you know , i mean -- rafe : sami , stop . you ca n't always imagine the worst - case scenario . sami : look , this is my son . this is our son we are talking about here . come on , you heard him . you saw how scared he was from the shots . do you really think he does n't want to be with us right now ? he 's got ta be doing whatever he can to get to us , and we have to make sure we help him . ej : samantha , listen , i 'm not waiting for the police to find my son -- my men are looking . rafe : i thought you were told to wait for the police . ej : the police are n't doing anything , rafe , all right ? they could n't find their thumbs on a map ! kate : ej , not now . this is not the time . come on , come on . sami : ej 's just upset too , okay ? it 's his son too . he cares . we ca n't just be expected to keep calm . rafe : have you thought about it ? i mean , what do you think the chances are that ej has him ? kate : okay , look . i know you 're upset . ej : i 'm not upset , all right ? kate : you never answered my question . the attempt on john 's life -- was your father involved ? my sinus symptoms come with a cough ej : i can understand why you might suspect that father had some involvement in john 's shooting , given the history , but i can assure you -- listen , if father wanted that guy dead , he would be dead . kate : okay , but that does n't answer my question , now , does it ? ej : i 'll answer your question then , all right ? neither my father nor i had anything to do with that shooting , all right ? are we clear ? that 's the truth . kate : okay . ej : okay ? kate : okay . then i 'll believe you . i mean , i suppose it is possible that that cop or ex - cop or whatever he is could have just been seeking revenge , right ? there are a lot of angry people out there , angry that they think that john stole their pension . i , for one , am not one of them , but ... ej : why ? kate : because that 's not who john is . ej : really ? sure about that ? kate : as sure as i can be . ej : well ... people are not always who they seem to be . you more than anybody should know that . rafe : roman . sami : dad ! rafe : did he say anything else ? roman : nothing we can go on . sami : i do n't understand why you are so sure that lauretano did n't have anything to do with taking johnny . ej : look , roman , obviously he knows who john is , he knows who his family is . he knew where he was going to be today . sami : i think there 's a very good chance that he did it , and he did it for revenge against john . roman : nothing is sure , but i do n't think so . the way the guy shot up the pub , his target was john . he did n't have a backup plan . ej : so what now ? roman : my men have taken lauretano down to the station . read him his rights . he 's being processed . ej : [ stammers ] we need answers now , okay ? not an hour from now -- now ! roman : wait a minute . let me get this straight . you telling me how to do my job , ej ? ej : yes ! we 're not getting any results when your men are spinning their wheels and they 're wasting time in following procedure . you understand that my son could be out there -- he could be hurt , he could be anything , roman ! madison : come on , sami , what did you call the file ? [ sighs ] brady : well , yes , that 's why titan 's trying to get johnny 's picture out to every media outlet possible . i do n't care that they 're competitors . just do it asap . roman : i know your family does n't have a lot of respect for the law , but if we do n't follow procedure with the suspect in custody , he 'll walk . and i really do n't want a dangerous guy like that walking around salem . do you , ej ? ej : my complaint is the police seem more interested in protecting this man than finding my son . rafe : all right , come on , let 's not be ridiculous . what are they supposed to do , ej , torture the guy ? ej : i do n't care , all right ? just find him , okay ? the longer he 's out there , the more danger he 's in . roman : we are doing everything possible . we 've expanded the search outside the city limits . we 've notified every police department within a 50-mile radius . ej : well , i 'm sure you think that 's very reassuring but , uh , he 's a small boy . how far , exactly , do you think he 's got , hmm ? i mean , he 's at the pub , and all of your police officers turn up , and yet somehow he manages to find his way out . you were there -- you were there ! the ineptitude of your police department boggles the mind ! abe : you know , that -- that 's enough . this is roman 's grandson too . ej : of course , here we are , the man who defends john black defending his inept department . abe : always blaming people . ej : no , i blame you ! i blame you for somebody being able to shoot john . i blame you for my son 's disappearance . you 're responsible ! abe : the feds were in charge of security . ej : oh , now who 's passing the buck ? look , could you just do me a favor , all right ? you 're all very right . i just need you to please find my son . sami : please . please ... do something . roman : again , ej , we are doing everything we can . ej : yes , you keep saying that . roman : yes , i do , and for the record , the guys you got out there searching have n't found him either , and they 're just making things worse . sami : look , i do n't understand why we 're all still just standing here doing nothing ! ej : because the police department 's completely inept ! lexie : ej , ej , honey , i know what you 're going through . i know what you 're going through . but pointing fingers wo n't help , okay ? ej : lexie , maybe my emotions are getting the better of me , but the fact is , this should never have happened . lexie : i know ... ej : i have no idea how this was allowed to happen . lexie : i know , i know . kate : stefano , it 's me . um ... i assume you know by now that they found out it was a disgruntled cop who took that shot at john . i know that you 're out looking for giovanni , and i just wanted to tell you that i am so sorry . call me when you get a chance . i love you . madison : kate . kate : madison . madison : well , you look surprised to see me . kate : no . madison : really ? because your face says otherwise . kate : yeah , well , i guess i 'm just not used to seeing you out and around . madison : maybe you should get used to it , since we 're both operating our businesses here . kate : you know , i 'm thinking that there might not be enough room in this town for both of us . madison : i could n't agree more . i think it 's time for you to pack and go . kate : i was just about to say the same thing to you . you see , i am going to be the last woman standing . madison : famous last words , kate . actually , i 'm not really interested in having this conversation with you . i have far more important things to do . kate : so do i , madison . so do i . brady : sami , listen , i have an entire news crew working to get the word out on johnny , all right ? someone has to have seen him . jennifer : abe put out a plea . he has volunteer search parties organized . anything else we can do , let us know , okay ? rafe : you guys are amazing . thank you . all we need is one good tip to send us in the right direction . jennifer : hey , hey ... why do n't we go sit down ? you look exhausted . come on . brady : hi . madison : is there any news ? brady : no . no , afraid not . but i was n't expecting to see you here . the meeting -- madison : i cancelled it . brady : i was n't expecting that either . madison : neither was i . roman : all right , well , good . thanks . rafe : hey . roman : we got a lead . ej : planning on telling me ? roman : somebody called in after abe 's tv appearance . said they saw a boy fitting johnny 's description out by the woods about a mile outside of town . ej : what ? let 's get down there ! roman : we will . but we ca n't fly blind , all right ? leads do n't always pan out , and i do n't wan na get my daughter 's hopes up -- not yet . ej : well , but , this could be valuable information , okay ? if somebody 's seen johnny , then we need to -- roman : we do n't know it 's johnny yet , all right ? we do n't know anything for sure , ej , so get yourself together , okay ? for sami 's sake . she 's emotional as hell right now . ej : you do n't say . roman : yeah ! and that emotion could lead to irrational behavior , and we do n't want that , do we ? ej : well , thank you for that , dr . freud . rafe : so you 're saying that we should n't say anything to her . ej : right . no , that 's perfect , is n't it ? let 's not tell the hypersensitive woman anything that might upset her delicate sensibilities ... right ? we 'll leave all the hard work to the big , tough policemen . roman : ej , do you ever get tired of listening to yourself and being like this ? rafe : whoa , whoa , whoa , what is it -- you think if we tell her , that she 's gon na want to go . roman : exactly . so can we stop bickering and get on with our work ? ej : idiots . roman : sami . we 're gon na go check some things out , try to gather some new leads , see where that takes us . sami : i 'm gon na stay here . i just wan na be here if -- when johnny ... jennifer : yeah . sami : is found . jennifer : we 'll stay here with her . lexie : absolutely . we 'll stay . ej : samantha . i promise you , i 'm going to find him if it is the last thing that i do . brady : so you cancelled the meeting with finnerman to be here ? madison : i did . brady : madison , that 's -- madison : okay , listen , i know the meeting was important . but i also know when i go in for an appointment and my head is not fully in the game , i can do more harm than good . brady : that 's smart . madison : i was working on the presentation . i just was n't ... i was n't getting anywhere , you know ? all i could think about was sami ... how awful this must be for her . i just ... johnny 's the sweetest kid . i feel really lucky i got to meet him . brady : he 's very sweet . he 's the best . madison : i know there 's nothing i can do , but ... brady : wait . actually , there is something i think you could do . madison : really ? brady : you 're sami 's boss . you came down here because obviously you care . i think she should know that . i think you should tell her exactly what you told me , and i think that would make her feel a lot better . kate : is this joel finnerman ? hi ! katherine dimera . oh , i know . same here . yeah . well , i heard through the grapevine that you 're in town . oh , your meeting was cancelled . how unfortunate . oh , i know , i would love to meet up with you too , i really would , but i 'm a little tied up here . i know . tell you what , though . if you 're looking to fill some time , why do n't you stop by the countess wilhelmina office space ? it 's my new space . oh , no , my staff would love to give you a tour . uh - huh . oh , i guarantee you 're gon na be impressed . okay , then . you stay in touch . bye . brady : hey . lexie : hey . brady : do you mind if , um , we talk ?

madison : sami , i 'm so sorry for what you must be going through . sami : oh , god , we had that meeting . and i did n't even call to let you know -- madison : no , no , no , listen , do n't worry about it . work is the last thing you should be worried about now . you need to find your son . that 's all that matters . sami : thank you . madison : honey , listen to me . work is my life . i admit that . but i know what really matters . do you remember back in the day i had younger brothers and sisters that i helped raise ? i do n't know what i would do if something happened to them , and i 'm not trying to make this about me . sami : you 're not . madison : i know that you 're gon na find johnny . sami : uh ... i appreciate your support . a lot . it 's just with every moment that passes it 's , uh ... it 's just hard , really hard to stay positive .

[ scene_break ] greenlee : look , i know you have a lot of questions , but testing someone you love is n't the answer . take my word for it . aidan ruined any chance we had by spying on me . he put a bug in my earring and listened in on all of my conversations instead of just coming forward and being honest . the second the trust was gone , so was the relationship , and do n't let it get to that point . bianca : so you think i 'm crazy for doing this ? ryan : no , i think that you 're really in love with reese , and you 're terrified of losing her . greenlee : if you do n't stop now , that could be a real possibility . are you ready for that ? [ phone rings ] bianca : it 's reese . hello . reese : hey , i was just calling to check in . how are the roads ? bianca : uh , not bad . reese : good , good . you know , i really just hate the thought of you being out there all by yourself . bianca : you do n't have to worry about me . i 'm fine . reese : i wish i could be there with you to keep you company . you -- you be careful , all right ? bianca : i promise .

[ scene_break ] krystal : who are you calling ? david : the police . krystal : oh , no , no , you ca n't . david : i just spent the last several hours bound to a piano with a gun shoved in my face . i think , at the very least , that 's earned a phone call . krystal : david , they will throw j.r. in jail . david : yeah , no kidding . so what 's your point ? krystal : look , none of us is acting sane and rational since babe died . we are all acting out to numb the pain . david : j.r. has gone way beyond acting out , krystal . he 's on a downward spiral . tonight it 's a gun . tomorrow -- who knows ? maybe driving drunk with our grandson in the back seat . well , i 'm sorry , but i 'm not willing to take that chance . krystal : j.r. needs help , but he is not going to get that in a jail cell . please . no matter what you think about j.r. , he 's the only parent that little boy has since babe died . [ david sighs ] david : fine . krystal : thank you . david : i do n't need the police to punish j.r . i can make him pay all by myself .

[ scene_break ] bianca : oh , thank you . reese is everything i 've ever wanted . i mean , she 's gorgeous . she 's smart . she 's an amazing mother to our children , and -- and she loves me with her whole heart . greenlee : but you still do n't trust her . bianca : there 's a lot i did n't know about reese , and probably still more i do n't . i guess that 's one of the dangers of falling in love so fast . you spend the rest of your relationship playing catch - up . greenlee : everyone has secrets , bianca , things they 're not proud of . ryan : it 's more than that , though , is n't it ? bianca : well , you 've seen them together . they have this incredible connection . how can i not wonder ? greenlee : this is zach we 're talking about , bianca . the same man who sat by your sister 's bedside day in and day out willing her to get better . does that sound like someone who would cheat on his wife ? bianca : all i know is that sometimes it seems like zach has given up hope that kendall will ever wake up . and recently , reese has become his shoulder to lean on -- the person that he talks to when things get to be too much . ryan : sounds like she 's being a good friend , to me . greenlee : like he was when he agreed to father gabby . he gave you and reese an amazing gift . he would never ruin that . bianca : you 're right . oh , my god . it 's like i 'm looking for reasons for my relationship not to work instead of focusing on why it -- it does work . i 've got to go home . please do n't tell anybody that i was here . ryan : you have nothing to be ashamed of . bianca : yeah , i do .

[ david and krystal kiss ] opal : what in creation ? krystal : opal , it 's -- it 's not what you think . opal : oh , oh , so you were not letting the devil himself undress you ? david : krystal was upset , ok ? i was just trying to help her . opal : i know exactly what you were trying to do . i have known what you 've been up to since the minute you slithered back into town . you looked me right in the eyes and lied , said there was nothing going on . krystal : you do n't understand . opal : no , i do n't understand . and neither will your husband . he 's home , by the way . krystal : tad is back ? opal : mm - hmm . and if you had n't snuck out to spend time with this snake here , you 'd know it . i trusted you . krystal : please , let me explain . opal : i 'm not the one you owe it to .

[ scene_break ] erica : i saw you at the casino , wrapped in each other 's arms . reese : what -- zach and i are friends . i know that it 's a difficult concept to grasp for somebody who has been married 10 times , but it is , in fact , possible . erica : and what 's a little embrace between friends ? or a bottle of wine , for that matter , while your fiancée is out of town planning your wedding ? zach : excuse me . what are you saying ? you think that reese and i are having an affair behind bianca 's back ? really ? all i 've been thinking about is my wife in a coma , fighting for her life . it 's all i 've been thinking about . erica : were you thinking about kendall when you were convinced by reese to father her child ? zach : ok . i did what i did for bianca , your other daughter , because she wants to raise a family with the woman she loves , a woman she 's engaged to , a woman who 's been nothing but gracious and kind , open , and giving with her time and her talents since she got here . and this is what you want to do ? accuse her , accuse me of betraying the people we love ? is that it ? erica : zach , i have no suspicions about you . i would never question your love for kendall -- never . i 've seen it . i would never question that . it is reese 's supposed love for bianca that i do definitely question . my daughter deserves far better .

lulu : how big is rocco ? i 'm this big . [ gasps ] look at what grandma laura sent you . dante : mom . lulu : we should take a picture , and we should send it to her . dante : please stop crying , okay ? [ sighs ] no , i 'm -- i 'm coming over . i - i know , but you 're doing nothing but sobbing into the phone , okay ? i 'll be there in 10 minutes , and we can -- then would you stop crying , please ? okay , well , i 'm coming over later anyway . if you do n't answer the door , i 'm busting it down , okay ? i love you , ma . lulu : how bad is it ? dante : she 's a mess . she 's a mess . i would -- i could -- i could wring -- wring sonny 's neck for this . i mean ... [ exhales deeply ] ... where does he get off cheating on my mother ? duke : is this a bad time ? sonny : no , not at all . you looking for me ? duke : i 'm just checking in . did you happen to hear the overnight news ? sonny : what news ? duke : i heard from a former colleague of mine at elq . there 's a big shake - up at the top . tracy quartermaine is out as c.e.o . , and your son is in . michael : i 'm sorry it had to come to this , great - grandfather . i did n't want to hurt tracy , but it was the only way to protect the company that you built for us . [ sighs ] and i promise you , as long as i 'm in charge , elq will remain in quartermaine hands , and luke spencer wo n't come anywhere near it . tracy : what c.e.o . ? what backstabbing traitor replaced me ? michael : i did . [ echoing ] i did . julian : [ sighs ] [ cell phone ringing ] tracy : [ groans ] who is calling at this ungodly hour ? j.j. ? [ ringing continues ] tracy : who 's j.j. ? luke : jasper jacks . i owe him money . here -- i - i need that . tracy : no . [ ringing continues ] tracy : you know what ? i need you . you can have that back after you make love to your new bride . luke : [ chuckles ] julian : hey , it 's me . i know we only spoke briefly at the ball last night , but , uh , i wanted to re - extend my congratulations on your nuptials , as well as our new enterprise . elq will prove an extraordinarily useful cover . in the meantime , enjoy your married life . i 'm sure you 're on top of the world . tracy : you surprised me last night . luke : the wedding ? tracy : well , yeah , that , and the fact that you passed out when you came home from the ball . we did n't even consummate our marriage . luke : oh , i 'm sorry . [ chuckles ] well , there 's plenty of time for that . tracy : no time like the present . luke : ahh . no . that is not happening . julian : call me asap . we have business to discuss . alexis : business ? with whom ? tracy : i would think you 'd want to make love to your new wife on your first morning of marriage . luke : sweetheart , i want to make love to you , morning , noon , and night . tracy : so what 's stopping you ? luke : i just ca n't get past that traitor of a son of yours and the way he snaked the company away from you in the dead of night . all i can think about is how are we going to even the score ? tracy : i do n't like the sound of that . luke : yeah , well , i do n't like you being tossed out on your ass . you 're my wife . we 're not taking this lying down . ned had no right to do that -- get the usual suspects together for a secret vote in the middle of the night . it 's your company . and , all right , so you do n't have a lot of love lost with monica or that dimwit grandson of hers , but brook lynn and dillon ? they know better . we need to get on the horn and find out from them what , exactly , ned promised for their betrayal . tracy : luke , i 'm just as angry as you are . luke : well , then let 's do something about it . let 's gather our forces , and let 's pillage elq , put you back in the driver 's seat , and throw michael out on his ass ! kiki : oh , darn . i was hoping your work attire would be a little more informal . michael : how informal ? kiki : like last night at the nurses ' ball at the end of your little number when you stripped down into your very appealing briefs . michael : right . well , maybe i can give you a private performance later . kiki : yeah , i was hoping for that this morning , but you were gone before i woke up . michael : yeah , i , uh , have a lot of work ahead of me . kiki : i guess so . so , last night was my first nurses ' ball . do they all work out like that ? you show up at the ball as a restaurant manager , and you leave as the c.e.o . of elq ? michael : yeah . [ chuckles nervously ] god help me . and god help the company . kiki : so , you 're serious about this ? you were n't just trying to help ned get rid of luke ? you want this job ? michael : well , i 've -- i 've got this job is the -- is the point . kiki : so , is that it ? are you done working for sonny ? sonny : tracy 's out ? michael -- my michael 's -- in charge of elq ? duke : yeah , the coup happened last night in the midst of the nurses ' ball . ned ashton rallied the family , took a vote , ousted tracy and luke , and appointed michael . sonny : michael is c.e.o . of elq . so , that 's a good thing , you know ? he 's -- i know what the company meant to him , and he had big dreams for elq . him and aj . duke : they made a good team . sonny : `` made `` -- past tense . duke : michael 's a strong man . he 'll soldier on . sonny : gon na have to ... thanks to me . duke : listen , sonny , with all due respect , aj 's gone . no amount of soul- searching will change that . i think it 's important that we focus on the here and now , particularly the jeromes . they 're flooding this town -- your town -- with drugs . tj : then i did the spin . jordan : what , what , ohh ! tj : the shimmy . jordan : [ laughs ] you know that you did n't learn that shimmy from me . [ chuckles ] right , shawn ? shawn : yeah , he looked like a damn fool to me , but i guess you looked all right . jordan : whatever . shawn : [ chuckles ] jordan : you know i 'm proud of you , thomas , and not 'cause you put m.j. to shame , but just ... graduating from high school , going on to a good college . i mean , that 's -- that 's better than i can hope for . so , i , uh -- i got you a little something just to -- for all your hard work . tj : what 's this ? jordan : i wanted to give it to you last night , but you already went up to bed , and -- just call it an early graduation gift . tj : ma , you know you did n't have to . jordan : i wanted to . go ahead . open it . tj : all right . keys ? jordan : to your new car . [ both laugh ] tj : oh ! [ chuckles ] julian : it was nothing . the asian markets have been open for hours . alexis : so that was beijing on the line ? julian : what do you want me to tell you , alexis ? do you really want to know who that was ? maybe we should just talk about what happened last night instead . alexis : did something happen last night ? julian : [ inhales deeply ] oh , yes . a beautiful woman , um , asked me to spend the night , instead of climbing back through the window , marching through the woods to my car in the dark . alexis : and how did that work for you ? julian : oh , well , to wake up beside you and see you in the morning light ... or to maybe , possibly contemplate leaving through the front door . i have to tell you -- i really liked that -- so much so that i , um , hope to repeat the process ... over ... and over ... and over again . lulu : time for a nap . and such a good boy . i feel so bad for your mom . it really seemed like she and sonny had something profound and untouchable after connie died . dante : i know . i did , too . [ sighs ] i just ca n't believe he would -- i ca n't believe he would hurt her like this . lulu : well , did he say why ? did he say who ? dante : no , no . of course not . it 's sonny . that does n't mean anything to him . you know , he 'd like to try and win my mother back , but as far as i 'm concerned , if it was up to me , he would never be allowed anywhere near her . lulu : see , this does n't make any sense . sonny has had so much loss , so much upheaval . he finally finds stability with olivia -- someone who supports him and understands him -- and he just blows it all to pieces by cheating ? dante : yeah , because he 's a selfish son of a bitch who does n't see happiness when it 's standing right in front of his freaking face . okay , his whole life , he 's done nothing but chase down the wrong things , and that is why i will never -- i will never , ever be like my father . lulu : you promise ? dante : what happened to sonny and my mother -- it will never happen to you and me . i love you , and you are -- you are precious to me . i would n't risk that for anything . you got that ? lulu : i do . dante : good . lulu : but ... dante : but what ? lulu : mm ... maybe you could show me . michael : i have n't spent more michael : i have n't spent more than an hour a day at the restaurant since aj was shot . the thing is , my dad never really even needed me there . he just made room after tracy fired us from elq . kiki : and now you got to fire tracy . see ? you got what you wanted -- another chance . michael : [ sighs ] it 's just we had all these plans to take the company in a new direction . now i have the opportunity , but aj 's gone . and i keep asking myself -- you know , is this -- is this worth it ? see , elq was aj 's dream . and what 's the point of running the company if he ca n't be here to share it ? kiki : do n't let tracy hear you say that . tracy : taking back elq is a given . ned and michael 's heads will roll by the time i 'm through . luke : that 's what i like to hear . so let 's get started . tracy : it 's gon na take time . it 's not gon na happen overnight . luke : all the more reason not to waste time . tracy : what 's the hurry ? ned did us a favor . sweetheart , we can take a honeymoon now and not worry about my family ambushing us because , hello , they already ambushed us . you know ... i got to hand it to ned . i bet daddy 's looking down and beaming with pride . that was a true quartermaine maneuver -- standing up for me at my wedding and then ousting me as c.e.o . daddy could n't have done it better . luke : you really think edward would want ned to put elq in michael 's hands -- a kid who has never accomplished anything but a trip to pentonville ? tracy : it was a case of winner takes all . that 's what ned and michael did . luke : well , while they 're celebrating , we should plan a counterattack . tracy : sweetheart , i really appreciate your support , but the whole point of you coming to work at elq was so that you and i could spend time together , and that 's what we have now -- time with no work . we can play . come on . let 's play . duke : sonny , the remorse you feel for what happened to aj and the way it affected michael -- that 's what makes you the man you are . you 're not cold- blooded . you 're not bloodthirsty . we 've got to let this go . you 're in the clear . jerome 's lieutenant 's accepted responsibility . sonny : but rivera did n't do it . duke : it does n't mean he 's not guilty . we 've got to let it go . otherwise , we 'll arouse anna 's suspicions . sonny : anna 's not convinced that rivera shot aj ? duke : well , listen , she has the evidence that puts rivera at the quartermaines ' . sonny : right . duke : but she 's on about his statement that ties into the apartment and the shooting . sonny : anna 's smart , you know ? she knows the confession does n't add up . duke : well , she has to accept it , unless other evidence suddenly appears from someplace or somebody speaks out of turn . sonny : my people wo n't . duke : well , that leaves one other person . sonny : ava 's not gon na talk . duke : you 're sure ? sonny : [ sighs ] i am protecting her from her brother . i 'm the only ally she has . she turns me in , i turn her loose , her brother rips her to shreds . alexis : mm . julian : thank you for asking me to stay the night . alexis : mm , thank you for staying . julian : last time i felt this good was ... cheryl , maybe . alexis : mm . lucas ' mom ? julian : yeah . feels like a million years ago -- back before everything went wrong . but now there 's you , sam , lucas , and danny . alexis : mm . julian : i went from having nothing at all to having it all . i do n't know what i 'd do without you . i could n't go back to the life i had -- or should i say , the life i did n't have ? alexis : you do n't have to . and there 's something you can do . julian : what 's that ? alexis : get out of the business . tj : no way . a new car ? are you serious ? jordan : it 's sitting right outside in the parking lot right now . tj : but , ma , you ca n't afford that . jordan : no , i landed a great , big commission , and there 's more where that came from . i mean , besides , you know , i got a deal . there was a customer who sold it , and , you know , the price was right . just you let me worry about the finances , and you worry about driving responsibly . tj : okay . thank you , ma . [ smooches ] oh , god . wait , wait , wait . which one ? jordan : the one with the great , big red bow on it . [ both chuckle ] come on . let 's watch him . shawn : what the hell do you think you 're doing ? anna : hi . dante : commissioner , what 's up ? uh , come in . anna : thank you . uh , it 's just a personal matter . lulu : it 's personal ? anna : yeah . hi , rocco . so , i - i have the dna results from the embryo that obrecht gave us . dante : is it ours ? michael : see , when you told me what luke had done to you , i was n't even thinking about elq . ned 's the one who decided to call a vote and get rid of luke by forcing tracy out . look , the only reason he made me c.e.o . is because it was the best way to get the support of the other shareholders . but ned has run elq before , and the company was very successful under him . so maybe -- maybe i should just hand him the reins and -- and -- and move on . kiki : and you 're just gon na go back to working at pozzulo 's ? michael : i -- yeah . i mean , why not ? kiki : whether you asked for elq or not , it 's yours . yes , michael , you have a choice . you could either walk away , or you could use this opportunity to honor aj 's memory . it was so important to aj -- the time you two spent here together . even you said you had all of these plans for the future of this company . michael : yeah , i know , but aj 's gone . kiki : i know that aj died a very ugly death , but you can resurrect his dream . you can make his legacy count for something . his life will be remembered for something good and not the way it ended . sonny : you 're right . you 're right . we got to focus on jerome . duke : i may have found a way to put him out of business . one of my sources has given me all the information about his next drug shipment . sonny : ah . duke : it comes in tonight . sonny : [ inhales sharply ] nice work . thank you , and thank your sources . duke : you have a strategy ? sonny : well , we could torch his boat , dump the cargo in the harbor . but then again , he 's gon na find some other product , and we have to figure that out . duke : yeah , if we act directly . but maybe someone else could get better results -- someone like anna . anna : well , i 'm happy to say that , yes , the embryo is yours . lulu : oh , my god . oh , my god . are you sure ? anna : yeah . i - i took it upon myself to employ a private lab to corroborate the department 's findings . oh , i have it right here . here 's the proof . it 's yours . [ chuckles ] dante : thank you , anna . anna : i know . dante : i , uh -- i guess obrecht told the truth for once . anna : yeah . clearly , she wanted her freedom , so ... lulu : where is the embryo ? is it at this other lab ? anna : it 's at a secure facility until you guys make other arrangements . lulu : thank you . thank you . anna : i 'm really glad it worked out . congratulations . lulu : [ chuckles ] dante : hey . i , uh -- i 'm sorry this came at such a cost . i - i know how much you hated letting obrecht go . lulu : it 's -- for what it 's worth , we did , too . anna : she 'll cross the line again . she always does . we 'll get another crack at her . making the deal was the right call . bye . dante : thanks , anna . lulu : i was afraid to hope . dante : i know . lulu : but it 's real . that embryo is ours . dante : so , uh , what are we gon na do about it ? lulu : [ chuckles ] rocco : [ coos ] jordan : i do n't have to answer to you , okay ? i bought my son a gift . shawn : yeah , that car was bought with drug money . jordan : you do n't know what you 're talking about . shawn : the jeromes are bringing drugs into port charles and pushing it on every corner that they can , and you are helping them . that 's t reason you have the cash to buy tj the new car . jordan : um , and the money that you use to house and clothe my son -- that does n't come from blts . shawn : well , i 'm not trafficking in drugs -- i can tell you that much . jordan : and you can tell me all you want ... but you 'd better not tell tj , unless , uh , you want me to tell him the truth about what you did to his father . tracy : forget about ned and elq . stay here -- be here with me . kiki : come on , big man . what are you waiting for ? close your eyes and think of me . luke : i do n't mind if i do . julian : quit the business ? where is this coming from ? alexis : julian . are you serious ? i - i 've said this from day one . i am , at best , uncomfortable with what you do for a living . i kept you at arm 's length for months when i found out who you were . julian : yeah , and you chose to let it go . alexis : no , i chose to ignore it -- that 's different -- because i felt something for you , and i still do , but it does n't change the fact that i 'm a hypocrite . this relationship is based on my hypocrisy , and -- and i am certainly not showing my daughters a good example . julian : oh , so , this is about you ? alexis : yes . yes . and you and me . you talk a good game about how having danny and sam and lucas and me -- what it 's -- what it 's done for you and how we 've become a part of your life , and you do n't want to lose it . julian : alexis , this is n't a game . i 'm not running some con or working some angle . i mean it . you 're a part of my life . i could n't stand to lose you . alexis : but what you 're choosing to do is fundamentally incompatible with having a stable and a healthy and a loving relationship . if that 's something that you really want , julian , you 're gon na have to clean up your act . julian : wow . i 'm sorry , but i ca n't do what you 're asking . tj : what 's wrong ? jordan : not a thing , baby . how 'd you like the car ? tj : it 's great , but , uh , why were you arguing about my father ? jordan : we were n't arguing . tj : well , i heard you going on about what had happened to him -- what shawn did . jordan : oh , you know what ? that 's actually my fault . i - i just -- i think you look so grown with the keys to that car in your hand , and i said something about how you reminded me of your dad , and just one thing led to another . tj : well , it sounded like you were mad at shawn -- like you blamed him for dad 's death . look , ma , it 's not his fault , all right ? and it 's not fair to keep bringing it up . it makes him feel bad . jordan : i know . i know . i 'm sorry . i 'm sorry , tj . tj : shawn 's a good person . he never meant to hurt my dad . jordan : i know . i know , and you 're right . it was just an accident . nothing more . sonny : i do n't like the idea of the pcpd doing our dirty work . does n't that put you in a bad position with anna ? duke : hmm . that horse has already left the barn . i broached the subject with her about collaboration -- you know , like exchanging information that was mutually beneficial -- but she was n't too thrilled about the idea . but then again , she 's not making much headway with the jeromes . sonny : well , that 's 'cause nobody 's talking . duke : well , they do n't have our sources . but then again , we do n't have the full weight of the government to bear down on it . but together ... sonny : you think you can get anna to come around ? duke : well , it 's either that , or we stand by and watch port charles be flooded with drugs . sonny : okay . do what you got to do to persuade anna . if we can get her to help us bring down jerome , that 's to our benefit . maybe we can flush out his partner out of hiding . alexis : you wo n't even consider going legit ? julian : alexis , you have no idea how hard i 've worked to have the life i have -- how long it 's taken me to crawl out from underneath my father 's shadow and meet his expectations . alexis : the expectations of a maniac . your father is a throwback . he taught you to deny your own son . is that the kind of role model you want for your life ? julian : okay , while i might not agree or respect my father 's attitudes , but that does n't mean i do n't feel pressure to surpass him . alexis : the way you can surpass him is by living out the rest of your life free of illegal dealings and pending criminal charges . julian : [ sighs ] okay , i promised myself that i would be the man in charge -- that i would build something that would last . alexis : you have done that as derek wells . you took this publishing company -- you took it from nothing , and you turned it into a powerhouse . julian : the publishing company was nothing but a cover . alexis : it does n't have to be . it can be real -- as real as us -- as your family . julian : you make it sound so easy -- like all i have to do is just snap my fingers , and , pouf , the whole thing just goes away . alexis : i do n't think it 's easy . i know that it would be difficult ... but most things worth having are . you 're intelligent . you 're resourceful . julian : [ sighs ] alexis : you 're determined , and you can do this . julian : alexis , everything in my life -- it 's all tangled together . alexis : we 'll untangle it . julian : it 's not an option . alexis : why not ? julian : [ sighs ] because it 's not up to me alone . it 's up to the man i report to . tracy : was n't that a better use of our time than fretting over elq ? luke : [ chuckles ] yeah , you betcha . tracy : how are we gon na spend the rest of our day ? the world is our oyster . how about brunch ? luke : oh , gosh , i 'd love to , but [ sighs ] i 've been putting off visiting lulu and that new baby of hers , and i think i should do it . tracy : i 'll come with you . luke : you want to spend the morning with a squalling infant ? tracy : i like squalling infants . luke : [ chuckles ] you -- sure , you do . i do n't either , but i promised her . tracy : [ yawns ] okay , um , if brunch is out , how about lunch ? we could have , uh , lunch at that new restaurant on the lake . we could sit on the terrace and look at that water and share a bottle of wine . does n't that sound romantic ? luke : it sounds wonderful . lunch it is . and in the meantime , you could round up some of those elq votes . dante : you know , we do n't have to make any decisions right now . i mean , that thing can sit in cold storage for 10 years . lulu : yeah , it 's true . but scott could have put obrecht away for years for her crimes . i mean , he and anna -- they -- they let obrecht walk so that we could get this piece of ourselves back . this embryo -- it 's our only chance to give rocco a little brother or sister , and how long do we want to wait to do that ? dante : there are other -- other things to consider here . we got our embryo , and , yes , we can add to our family , but we ca n't do it alone . we -- we need to have a surrogate . lulu : i do n't think i want to take that route . lulu : i do n't think i can trust another surrogate after everything maxie put us through . dante : well , that was n't a regular surrogacy . i mean , she was carrying her child -- not ours . that 's why she -- she got so attached . there 's got to be a healthy , honest woman out there who -- who will do this for us . lulu : i 'm sure there is , but do you want to trust someone else with our only chance to have another child ? dante : i hear you , but if we want to use our embryo to grow our family , a surrogate 's the only option . lulu : not necessarily . michael : yeah , you 're right . i 'll stay at elq for aj . it 's where i need to be . kiki : and i 'll be right by your side . tracy : oh , joy . michael : tracy . tracy : how many millions of elq dollars are circling the drain while you kiss -- and i use the word loosely -- girlfriend ? michael : tracy , you do n't have a - a [ clears throat ] place at this company anymore . tracy : michael , i do n't have a problem with you , and it 's obvious that ned is using you . kiki : [ scoffs ] nobody uses michael . tracy : michael , i 'm sorry . i know that you 've been having a very difficult time since aj died , but the vote that ned called was not in the best interests of the company . it was about extending condolences . aj 's gone , and the others were supporting you as a gesture to his memory . ned is just taking advantage of that . michael : no , tracy , the only person being taken advantage of here is you . kiki 's right -- luke is playing you . duke : no word yet on jerome 's silent partner ? sonny : i got shawn working on it , but my best candidate right now is my brother . um , but there 's no evidence against him right now to confirm it . duke : well , hopefully , i 've just given you all the evidence that we need . sonny : yeah . duke : i 'm gon na go see anna . sonny : all right . duke : i 'll keep you caught up . sonny : thank you . [ footsteps approaching ] sonny : surprised to see you here . i thought you 'd be living it up with your new bride . luke : [ chuckles ] yeah , well , my wedded bliss took a decided wrong turn last night after your son and namesake unseated tracy at elq . sonny : i heard about that . i 'm -- i 'm sorry for tracy . luke : yeah , well , uh , it 's not good for michael , either , sonny . ned 's using him . playing him like a puppet . as soon as he outlives his usefulness , ned will get rid of him . sonny : [ sighs ] i 'll be sure to pass that along . luke : it 'd be good if you encouraged him to drop - kick elq and return to the fold . sonny : be good for -- for michael or for your new wife ? luke : well , tracy and i were not thrilled with ned 's maneuver , but , uh , would n't you like to keep michael close right now ? i mean , these are dangerous times for anybody named corinthos . you got people gunning for you and yours . be a good idea to keep the chicks close to the nest . alexis : so , sonny 's right . you are n't running this other enterprise on your own . julian : who 's asking -- you or sonny ? alexis : me . me -- i 'm asking because i 'm the one who cares about you , and i 'm the one who wants you free . julian : well , as i said before , that 's not an option . alexis : why not ? julian : [ sighs ] because the derek wells of the business world did n't come into existence on his own . he had an investor , a partner , and without his funding and connections , i would n't exist right now . i owe him . alexis : so pay him off . julian : oh , come on . you ca n't be that naive . you 've seen how sonny does business . you do n't get to just walk away from that kind of life , alexis . alexis : maybe not by yourself , but with help ... julian : [ chuckles ] and who 's gon na help me ? seriously ? alexis : i will . i 'll help you . but you 're gon na have to be honest with me . you 're gon na have to tell me the truth . who are you working for ? anna : hi . you want breakfast ? duke : mm . i 'd like to talk to you privately first . anna : well , that depends . what 's it about ? duke : i have some information that might be of use to you as an officer of the law . anna : [ sighs ] what information ? duke : it 's about a drug shipment that 's coming in to port charles this evening , courtesy of julian jerome . i think the information i have might be of use to you . anna : and sonny , no doubt . duke : sonny does n't traffic in drugs . anna : [ sighs ] duke : julian does . you can stop him with this . anna : well , only if i 'm willing to compromise the integrity of the pcpd . duke : well , why do n't you consider that it came from an anonymous source ? anna : so , if i take this information and put julian away , i 'm gon na be doing sonny a big favor . duke : this is not about helping sonny . this is about stopping julian . that has always been our common goal , anna . anna : then i want something in return . duke : such as ? anna : i want you to walk away from sonny 's employ and never look back . jordan : i got to get to work . tj : oh , i 'll drive you . jordan : oh , another time , baby . shawn : come on . why not ? come on . let the kid show off his new wheels . you know , the gallery is on the way to the school . that 's where you 're headed , right -- the gallery ? jordan : i have an errand to run , and i do n't want him to be late -- i 'll see you both later . anna : do we have a deal ? duke : look at this . it 's all the information i have on the jerome drug operation -- the who , when , where of the shipment arriving tonight . with this information , you can deal the jeromes a death blow . we can finally put that murderous bastard behind bars for the rest of his natural life . alexis : i 'm asking on behalf of you and me and whatever future we have . julian : alexis , we 're not gon na have a future if i give you the information that you 're asking for . do you understand that ? this information is radioactive . if i tell you , it will put you and everyone you care about in danger . alexis : do you think you 're not one of the people that i care about ? you say you want to be your own person . how does that work , exactly ? you -- you get out from under the shadow of your father , only to find yourself under the thumb of someone else ? [ sighs ] tracy : i 'm not gon na listen to your groundless accusations about my husband ! you know what ? i have known luke spencer for decades , and i am well aware of his failings . michael : okay , i know luke , too . he 's my great - uncle , after all . we were never that close , but i always believed that he -- he had a code . there was a line he would n't cross , and now i do n't -- i do n't believe that anymore . kiki : the morning of aj 's funeral , luke showed up at my father 's apartment . he waited until my father and my cousin were not home . i was alone . i opened the door , he pushed his way in , got physical with me to the point that i had to knee him in the groin in order to stop him . tracy : that is a blatant lie . she 's playing you against luke the same way she played you against your brother . you will never get the truth from her . michael : okay , look , the truth is , there 's a lot about luke 's past that people do n't talk about . but think about it -- in the decades that you 've known luke , has he ever done anything underhanded ? has he ever betrayed you or even hurt you ? has he ever forced himself on a woman ? exactly how well do you know the man you married last night ? luke : michael would be a lot safer with you than with the quartermaines . sonny : i can protect michael whether he 's working with me or not , and , you know , plus , he 's his own man , and he makes his own decisions . luke : i 'd just hate to see him get hurt . sonny : no one 's gon na hurt my son , luke . luke : well , i 'm glad to know that you 're on the case , daddy - o. i 'm just wondering , you know , if michael 's gon na compromise the family business in the process of becoming a man . i hope not . speaking of the family business , how 's it going ? word on the street is the jeromes have got you on the ropes . sonny : we 'll see about that . luke : [ chuckles ] you planning a move against julian ? sonny : [ chuckles ] [ cell phone ringing ] sonny : ah , you should probably get that . it 's probably your wife . you do n't want to get in trouble . um , you know what ? enjoy the married life , luke . [ ringing continues ] luke : what ? dante : lulu , we need a surrogate to carry our baby to term . lulu : no . there 's another option . what about me ? | julian tells alexis that he has it all now that he has her , lucas , sam , and danny in his life . she suggests that he quit the business . he reveals that it is n't that easy because he answers to someone else . he says he would put her and everyone she loves in danger if he told her who he reports to . luke makes excuses to get out of having sex with his new bride . he tells her that he is upset about her son kicking her out of her business . she tells him that ned did them a favor because now they have time to take a honeymoon . she says she will make them all pay afterwards . when luke finally gets around to consummating his marriage , he fantasizes about kiki . | <s>[INST] lulu : how big is rocco ? i 'm this big . [ gasps ] look at what grandma laura sent you . dante : mom . lulu : we should take a picture , and we should send it to her . dante : please stop crying , okay ? [ sighs ] no , i 'm -- i 'm coming over . i - i know , but you 're doing nothing but sobbing into the phone , okay ? i 'll be there in 10 minutes , and we can -- then would you stop crying , please ? okay , well , i 'm coming over later anyway . if you do n't answer the door , i 'm busting it down , okay ? i love you , ma . lulu : how bad is it ? dante : she 's a mess . she 's a mess . i would -- i could -- i could wring -- wring sonny 's neck for this . i mean ... [ exhales deeply ] ... where does he get off cheating on my mother ? duke : is this a bad time ? sonny : no , not at all . you looking for me ? duke : i 'm just checking in . did you happen to hear the overnight news ? sonny : what news ? duke : i heard from a former colleague of mine at elq . there 's a big shake - up at the top . tracy quartermaine is out as c.e.o . , and your son is in . michael : i 'm sorry it had to come to this , great - grandfather . i did n't want to hurt tracy , but it was the only way to protect the company that you built for us . [ sighs ] and i promise you , as long as i 'm in charge , elq will remain in quartermaine hands , and luke spencer wo n't come anywhere near it . tracy : what c.e.o . ? what backstabbing traitor replaced me ? michael : i did . [ echoing ] i did . julian : [ sighs ] [ cell phone ringing ] tracy : [ groans ] who is calling at this ungodly hour ? j.j. ? [ ringing continues ] tracy : who 's j.j. ? luke : jasper jacks . i owe him money . here -- i - i need that . tracy : no . [ ringing continues ] tracy : you know what ? i need you . you can have that back after you make love to your new bride . luke : [ chuckles ] julian : hey , it 's me . i know we only spoke briefly at the ball last night , but , uh , i wanted to re - extend my congratulations on your nuptials , as well as our new enterprise . elq will prove an extraordinarily useful cover . in the meantime , enjoy your married life . i 'm sure you 're on top of the world . tracy : you surprised me last night . luke : the wedding ? tracy : well , yeah , that , and the fact that you passed out when you came home from the ball . we did n't even consummate our marriage . luke : oh , i 'm sorry . [ chuckles ] well , there 's plenty of time for that . tracy : no time like the present . luke : ahh . no . that is not happening . julian : call me asap . we have business to discuss . alexis : business ? with whom ? tracy : i would think you 'd want to make love to your new wife on your first morning of marriage . luke : sweetheart , i want to make love to you , morning , noon , and night . tracy : so what 's stopping you ? luke : i just ca n't get past that traitor of a son of yours and the way he snaked the company away from you in the dead of night . all i can think about is how are we going to even the score ? tracy : i do n't like the sound of that . luke : yeah , well , i do n't like you being tossed out on your ass . you 're my wife . we 're not taking this lying down . ned had no right to do that -- get the usual suspects together for a secret vote in the middle of the night . it 's your company . and , all right , so you do n't have a lot of love lost with monica or that dimwit grandson of hers , but brook lynn and dillon ? they know better . we need to get on the horn and find out from them what , exactly , ned promised for their betrayal . tracy : luke , i 'm just as angry as you are . luke : well , then let 's do something about it . let 's gather our forces , and let 's pillage elq , put you back in the driver 's seat , and throw michael out on his ass ! kiki : oh , darn . i was hoping your work attire would be a little more informal . michael : how informal ? kiki : like last night at the nurses ' ball at the end of your little number when you stripped down into your very appealing briefs . michael : right . well , maybe i can give you a private performance later . kiki : yeah , i was hoping for that this morning , but you were gone before i woke up . michael : yeah , i , uh , have a lot of work ahead of me . kiki : i guess so . so , last night was my first nurses ' ball . do they all work out like that ? you show up at the ball as a restaurant manager , and you leave as the c.e.o . of elq ? michael : yeah . [ chuckles nervously ] god help me . and god help the company . kiki : so , you 're serious about this ? you were n't just trying to help ned get rid of luke ? you want this job ? michael : well , i 've -- i 've got this job is the -- is the point . kiki : so , is that it ? are you done working for sonny ? sonny : tracy 's out ? michael -- my michael 's -- in charge of elq ? duke : yeah , the coup happened last night in the midst of the nurses ' ball . ned ashton rallied the family , took a vote , ousted tracy and luke , and appointed michael . sonny : michael is c.e.o . of elq . so , that 's a good thing , you know ? he 's -- i know what the company meant to him , and he had big dreams for elq . him and aj . duke : they made a good team . sonny : `` made `` -- past tense . duke : michael 's a strong man . he 'll soldier on . sonny : gon na have to ... thanks to me . duke : listen , sonny , with all due respect , aj 's gone . no amount of soul- searching will change that . i think it 's important that we focus on the here and now , particularly the jeromes . they 're flooding this town -- your town -- with drugs . tj : then i did the spin . jordan : what , what , ohh ! tj : the shimmy . jordan : [ laughs ] you know that you did n't learn that shimmy from me . [ chuckles ] right , shawn ? shawn : yeah , he looked like a damn fool to me , but i guess you looked all right . jordan : whatever . shawn : [ chuckles ] jordan : you know i 'm proud of you , thomas , and not 'cause you put m.j. to shame , but just ... graduating from high school , going on to a good college . i mean , that 's -- that 's better than i can hope for . so , i , uh -- i got you a little something just to -- for all your hard work . tj : what 's this ? jordan : i wanted to give it to you last night , but you already went up to bed , and -- just call it an early graduation gift . tj : ma , you know you did n't have to . jordan : i wanted to . go ahead . open it . tj : all right . keys ? jordan : to your new car . [ both laugh ] tj : oh ! [ chuckles ] julian : it was nothing . the asian markets have been open for hours . alexis : so that was beijing on the line ? julian : what do you want me to tell you , alexis ? do you really want to know who that was ? maybe we should just talk about what happened last night instead . alexis : did something happen last night ? julian : [ inhales deeply ] oh , yes . a beautiful woman , um , asked me to spend the night , instead of climbing back through the window , marching through the woods to my car in the dark . alexis : and how did that work for you ? julian : oh , well , to wake up beside you and see you in the morning light ... or to maybe , possibly contemplate leaving through the front door . i have to tell you -- i really liked that -- so much so that i , um , hope to repeat the process ... over ... and over ... and over again . lulu : time for a nap . and such a good boy . i feel so bad for your mom . it really seemed like she and sonny had something profound and untouchable after connie died . dante : i know . i did , too . [ sighs ] i just ca n't believe he would -- i ca n't believe he would hurt her like this . lulu : well , did he say why ? did he say who ? dante : no , no . of course not . it 's sonny . that does n't mean anything to him . you know , he 'd like to try and win my mother back , but as far as i 'm concerned , if it was up to me , he would never be allowed anywhere near her . lulu : see , this does n't make any sense . sonny has had so much loss , so much upheaval . he finally finds stability with olivia -- someone who supports him and understands him -- and he just blows it all to pieces by cheating ? dante : yeah , because he 's a selfish son of a bitch who does n't see happiness when it 's standing right in front of his freaking face . okay , his whole life , he 's done nothing but chase down the wrong things , and that is why i will never -- i will never , ever be like my father . lulu : you promise ? dante : what happened to sonny and my mother -- it will never happen to you and me . i love you , and you are -- you are precious to me . i would n't risk that for anything . you got that ? lulu : i do . dante : good . lulu : but ... dante : but what ? lulu : mm ... maybe you could show me . michael : i have n't spent more michael : i have n't spent more than an hour a day at the restaurant since aj was shot . the thing is , my dad never really even needed me there . he just made room after tracy fired us from elq . kiki : and now you got to fire tracy . see ? you got what you wanted -- another chance . michael : [ sighs ] it 's just we had all these plans to take the company in a new direction . now i have the opportunity , but aj 's gone . and i keep asking myself -- you know , is this -- is this worth it ? see , elq was aj 's dream . and what 's the point of running the company if he ca n't be here to share it ? kiki : do n't let tracy hear you say that . tracy : taking back elq is a given . ned and michael 's heads will roll by the time i 'm through . luke : that 's what i like to hear . so let 's get started . tracy : it 's gon na take time . it 's not gon na happen overnight . luke : all the more reason not to waste time . tracy : what 's the hurry ? ned did us a favor . sweetheart , we can take a honeymoon now and not worry about my family ambushing us because , hello , they already ambushed us . you know ... i got to hand it to ned . i bet daddy 's looking down and beaming with pride . that was a true quartermaine maneuver -- standing up for me at my wedding and then ousting me as c.e.o . daddy could n't have done it better . luke : you really think edward would want ned to put elq in michael 's hands -- a kid who has never accomplished anything but a trip to pentonville ? tracy : it was a case of winner takes all . that 's what ned and michael did . luke : well , while they 're celebrating , we should plan a counterattack . tracy : sweetheart , i really appreciate your support , but the whole point of you coming to work at elq was so that you and i could spend time together , and that 's what we have now -- time with no work . we can play . come on . let 's play . duke : sonny , the remorse you feel for what happened to aj and the way it affected michael -- that 's what makes you the man you are . you 're not cold- blooded . you 're not bloodthirsty . we 've got to let this go . you 're in the clear . jerome 's lieutenant 's accepted responsibility . sonny : but rivera did n't do it . duke : it does n't mean he 's not guilty . we 've got to let it go . otherwise , we 'll arouse anna 's suspicions . sonny : anna 's not convinced that rivera shot aj ? duke : well , listen , she has the evidence that puts rivera at the quartermaines ' . sonny : right . duke : but she 's on about his statement that ties into the apartment and the shooting . sonny : anna 's smart , you know ? she knows the confession does n't add up . duke : well , she has to accept it , unless other evidence suddenly appears from someplace or somebody speaks out of turn . sonny : my people wo n't . duke : well , that leaves one other person . sonny : ava 's not gon na talk . duke : you 're sure ? sonny : [ sighs ] i am protecting her from her brother . i 'm the only ally she has . she turns me in , i turn her loose , her brother rips her to shreds . alexis : mm . julian : thank you for asking me to stay the night . alexis : mm , thank you for staying . julian : last time i felt this good was ... cheryl , maybe . alexis : mm . lucas ' mom ? julian : yeah . feels like a million years ago -- back before everything went wrong . but now there 's you , sam , lucas , and danny . alexis : mm . julian : i went from having nothing at all to having it all . i do n't know what i 'd do without you . i could n't go back to the life i had -- or should i say , the life i did n't have ? alexis : you do n't have to . and there 's something you can do . julian : what 's that ? alexis : get out of the business . tj : no way . a new car ? are you serious ? jordan : it 's sitting right outside in the parking lot right now . tj : but , ma , you ca n't afford that . jordan : no , i landed a great , big commission , and there 's more where that came from . i mean , besides , you know , i got a deal . there was a customer who sold it , and , you know , the price was right . just you let me worry about the finances , and you worry about driving responsibly . tj : okay . thank you , ma . [ smooches ] oh , god . wait , wait , wait . which one ? jordan : the one with the great , big red bow on it . [ both chuckle ] come on . let 's watch him . shawn : what the hell do you think you 're doing ? anna : hi . dante : commissioner , what 's up ? uh , come in . anna : thank you . uh , it 's just a personal matter . lulu : it 's personal ? anna : yeah . hi , rocco . so , i - i have the dna results from the embryo that obrecht gave us . dante : is it ours ? michael : see , when you told me what luke had done to you , i was n't even thinking about elq . ned 's the one who decided to call a vote and get rid of luke by forcing tracy out . look , the only reason he made me c.e.o . is because it was the best way to get the support of the other shareholders . but ned has run elq before , and the company was very successful under him . so maybe -- maybe i should just hand him the reins and -- and -- and move on . kiki : and you 're just gon na go back to working at pozzulo 's ? michael : i -- yeah . i mean , why not ? kiki : whether you asked for elq or not , it 's yours . yes , michael , you have a choice . you could either walk away , or you could use this opportunity to honor aj 's memory . it was so important to aj -- the time you two spent here together . even you said you had all of these plans for the future of this company . michael : yeah , i know , but aj 's gone . kiki : i know that aj died a very ugly death , but you can resurrect his dream . you can make his legacy count for something . his life will be remembered for something good and not the way it ended . sonny : you 're right . you 're right . we got to focus on jerome . duke : i may have found a way to put him out of business . one of my sources has given me all the information about his next drug shipment . sonny : ah . duke : it comes in tonight . sonny : [ inhales sharply ] nice work . thank you , and thank your sources . duke : you have a strategy ? sonny : well , we could torch his boat , dump the cargo in the harbor . but then again , he 's gon na find some other product , and we have to figure that out . duke : yeah , if we act directly . but maybe someone else could get better results -- someone like anna . anna : well , i 'm happy to say that , yes , the embryo is yours . lulu : oh , my god . oh , my god . are you sure ? anna : yeah . i - i took it upon myself to employ a private lab to corroborate the department 's findings . oh , i have it right here . here 's the proof . it 's yours . [ chuckles ] dante : thank you , anna . anna : i know . dante : i , uh -- i guess obrecht told the truth for once . anna : yeah . clearly , she wanted her freedom , so ... lulu : where is the embryo ? is it at this other lab ? anna : it 's at a secure facility until you guys make other arrangements . lulu : thank you . thank you . anna : i 'm really glad it worked out . congratulations . lulu : [ chuckles ] dante : hey . i , uh -- i 'm sorry this came at such a cost . i - i know how much you hated letting obrecht go . lulu : it 's -- for what it 's worth , we did , too . anna : she 'll cross the line again . she always does . we 'll get another crack at her . making the deal was the right call . bye . dante : thanks , anna . lulu : i was afraid to hope . dante : i know . lulu : but it 's real . that embryo is ours . dante : so , uh , what are we gon na do about it ? lulu : [ chuckles ] rocco : [ coos ] jordan : i do n't have to answer to you , okay ? i bought my son a gift . shawn : yeah , that car was bought with drug money . jordan : you do n't know what you 're talking about . shawn : the jeromes are bringing drugs into port charles and pushing it on every corner that they can , and you are helping them . that 's t reason you have the cash to buy tj the new car . jordan : um , and the money that you use to house and clothe my son -- that does n't come from blts . shawn : well , i 'm not trafficking in drugs -- i can tell you that much . jordan : and you can tell me all you want ... but you 'd better not tell tj , unless , uh , you want me to tell him the truth about what you did to his father . tracy : forget about ned and elq . stay here -- be here with me . kiki : come on , big man . what are you waiting for ? close your eyes and think of me . luke : i do n't mind if i do . julian : quit the business ? where is this coming from ? alexis : julian . are you serious ? i - i 've said this from day one . i am , at best , uncomfortable with what you do for a living . i kept you at arm 's length for months when i found out who you were . julian : yeah , and you chose to let it go . alexis : no , i chose to ignore it -- that 's different -- because i felt something for you , and i still do , but it does n't change the fact that i 'm a hypocrite . this relationship is based on my hypocrisy , and -- and i am certainly not showing my daughters a good example . julian : oh , so , this is about you ? alexis : yes . yes . and you and me . you talk a good game about how having danny and sam and lucas and me -- what it 's -- what it 's done for you and how we 've become a part of your life , and you do n't want to lose it . julian : alexis , this is n't a game . i 'm not running some con or working some angle . i mean it . you 're a part of my life . i could n't stand to lose you . alexis : but what you 're choosing to do is fundamentally incompatible with having a stable and a healthy and a loving relationship . if that 's something that you really want , julian , you 're gon na have to clean up your act . julian : wow . i 'm sorry , but i ca n't do what you 're asking . tj : what 's wrong ? jordan : not a thing , baby . how 'd you like the car ? tj : it 's great , but , uh , why were you arguing about my father ? jordan : we were n't arguing . tj : well , i heard you going on about what had happened to him -- what shawn did . jordan : oh , you know what ? that 's actually my fault . i - i just -- i think you look so grown with the keys to that car in your hand , and i said something about how you reminded me of your dad , and just one thing led to another . tj : well , it sounded like you were mad at shawn -- like you blamed him for dad 's death . look , ma , it 's not his fault , all right ? and it 's not fair to keep bringing it up . it makes him feel bad . jordan : i know . i know . i 'm sorry . i 'm sorry , tj . tj : shawn 's a good person . he never meant to hurt my dad . jordan : i know . i know , and you 're right . it was just an accident . nothing more . sonny : i do n't like the idea of the pcpd doing our dirty work . does n't that put you in a bad position with anna ? duke : hmm . that horse has already left the barn . i broached the subject with her about collaboration -- you know , like exchanging information that was mutually beneficial -- but she was n't too thrilled about the idea . but then again , she 's not making much headway with the jeromes . sonny : well , that 's 'cause nobody 's talking . duke : well , they do n't have our sources . but then again , we do n't have the full weight of the government to bear down on it . but together ... sonny : you think you can get anna to come around ? duke : well , it 's either that , or we stand by and watch port charles be flooded with drugs . sonny : okay . do what you got to do to persuade anna . if we can get her to help us bring down jerome , that 's to our benefit . maybe we can flush out his partner out of hiding . alexis : you wo n't even consider going legit ? julian : alexis , you have no idea how hard i 've worked to have the life i have -- how long it 's taken me to crawl out from underneath my father 's shadow and meet his expectations . alexis : the expectations of a maniac . your father is a throwback . he taught you to deny your own son . is that the kind of role model you want for your life ? julian : okay , while i might not agree or respect my father 's attitudes , but that does n't mean i do n't feel pressure to surpass him . alexis : the way you can surpass him is by living out the rest of your life free of illegal dealings and pending criminal charges . julian : [ sighs ] okay , i promised myself that i would be the man in charge -- that i would build something that would last . alexis : you have done that as derek wells . you took this publishing company -- you took it from nothing , and you turned it into a powerhouse . julian : the publishing company was nothing but a cover . alexis : it does n't have to be . it can be real -- as real as us -- as your family . julian : you make it sound so easy -- like all i have to do is just snap my fingers , and , pouf , the whole thing just goes away . alexis : i do n't think it 's easy . i know that it would be difficult ... but most things worth having are . you 're intelligent . you 're resourceful . julian : [ sighs ] alexis : you 're determined , and you can do this . julian : alexis , everything in my life -- it 's all tangled together . alexis : we 'll untangle it . julian : it 's not an option . alexis : why not ? julian : [ sighs ] because it 's not up to me alone . it 's up to the man i report to . tracy : was n't that a better use of our time than fretting over elq ? luke : [ chuckles ] yeah , you betcha . tracy : how are we gon na spend the rest of our day ? the world is our oyster . how about brunch ? luke : oh , gosh , i 'd love to , but [ sighs ] i 've been putting off visiting lulu and that new baby of hers , and i think i should do it . tracy : i 'll come with you . luke : you want to spend the morning with a squalling infant ? tracy : i like squalling infants . luke : [ chuckles ] you -- sure , you do . i do n't either , but i promised her . tracy : [ yawns ] okay , um , if brunch is out , how about lunch ? we could have , uh , lunch at that new restaurant on the lake . we could sit on the terrace and look at that water and share a bottle of wine . does n't that sound romantic ? luke : it sounds wonderful . lunch it is . and in the meantime , you could round up some of those elq votes . dante : you know , we do n't have to make any decisions right now . i mean , that thing can sit in cold storage for 10 years . lulu : yeah , it 's true . but scott could have put obrecht away for years for her crimes . i mean , he and anna -- they -- they let obrecht walk so that we could get this piece of ourselves back . this embryo -- it 's our only chance to give rocco a little brother or sister , and how long do we want to wait to do that ? dante : there are other -- other things to consider here . we got our embryo , and , yes , we can add to our family , but we ca n't do it alone . we -- we need to have a surrogate . lulu : i do n't think i want to take that route . lulu : i do n't think i can trust another surrogate after everything maxie put us through . dante : well , that was n't a regular surrogacy . i mean , she was carrying her child -- not ours . that 's why she -- she got so attached . there 's got to be a healthy , honest woman out there who -- who will do this for us . lulu : i 'm sure there is , but do you want to trust someone else with our only chance to have another child ? dante : i hear you , but if we want to use our embryo to grow our family , a surrogate 's the only option . lulu : not necessarily . michael : yeah , you 're right . i 'll stay at elq for aj . it 's where i need to be . kiki : and i 'll be right by your side . tracy : oh , joy . michael : tracy . tracy : how many millions of elq dollars are circling the drain while you kiss -- and i use the word loosely -- girlfriend ? michael : tracy , you do n't have a - a [ clears throat ] place at this company anymore . tracy : michael , i do n't have a problem with you , and it 's obvious that ned is using you . kiki : [ scoffs ] nobody uses michael . tracy : michael , i 'm sorry . i know that you 've been having a very difficult time since aj died , but the vote that ned called was not in the best interests of the company . it was about extending condolences . aj 's gone , and the others were supporting you as a gesture to his memory . ned is just taking advantage of that . michael : no , tracy , the only person being taken advantage of here is you . kiki 's right -- luke is playing you . duke : no word yet on jerome 's silent partner ? sonny : i got shawn working on it , but my best candidate right now is my brother . um , but there 's no evidence against him right now to confirm it . duke : well , hopefully , i 've just given you all the evidence that we need . sonny : yeah . duke : i 'm gon na go see anna . sonny : all right . duke : i 'll keep you caught up . sonny : thank you . [ footsteps approaching ] sonny : surprised to see you here . i thought you 'd be living it up with your new bride . luke : [ chuckles ] yeah , well , my wedded bliss took a decided wrong turn last night after your son and namesake unseated tracy at elq . sonny : i heard about that . i 'm -- i 'm sorry for tracy . luke : yeah , well , uh , it 's not good for michael , either , sonny . ned 's using him . playing him like a puppet . as soon as he outlives his usefulness , ned will get rid of him . sonny : [ sighs ] i 'll be sure to pass that along . luke : it 'd be good if you encouraged him to drop - kick elq and return to the fold . sonny : be good for -- for michael or for your new wife ? luke : well , tracy and i were not thrilled with ned 's maneuver , but , uh , would n't you like to keep michael close right now ? i mean , these are dangerous times for anybody named corinthos . you got people gunning for you and yours . be a good idea to keep the chicks close to the nest . alexis : so , sonny 's right . you are n't running this other enterprise on your own . julian : who 's asking -- you or sonny ? alexis : me . me -- i 'm asking because i 'm the one who cares about you , and i 'm the one who wants you free . julian : well , as i said before , that 's not an option . alexis : why not ? julian : [ sighs ] because the derek wells of the business world did n't come into existence on his own . he had an investor , a partner , and without his funding and connections , i would n't exist right now . i owe him . alexis : so pay him off . julian : oh , come on . you ca n't be that naive . you 've seen how sonny does business . you do n't get to just walk away from that kind of life , alexis . alexis : maybe not by yourself , but with help ... julian : [ chuckles ] and who 's gon na help me ? seriously ? alexis : i will . i 'll help you . but you 're gon na have to be honest with me . you 're gon na have to tell me the truth . who are you working for ? anna : hi . you want breakfast ? duke : mm . i 'd like to talk to you privately first . anna : well , that depends . what 's it about ? duke : i have some information that might be of use to you as an officer of the law . anna : [ sighs ] what information ? duke : it 's about a drug shipment that 's coming in to port charles this evening , courtesy of julian jerome . i think the information i have might be of use to you . anna : and sonny , no doubt . duke : sonny does n't traffic in drugs . anna : [ sighs ] duke : julian does . you can stop him with this . anna : well , only if i 'm willing to compromise the integrity of the pcpd . duke : well , why do n't you consider that it came from an anonymous source ? anna : so , if i take this information and put julian away , i 'm gon na be doing sonny a big favor . duke : this is not about helping sonny . this is about stopping julian . that has always been our common goal , anna . anna : then i want something in return . duke : such as ? anna : i want you to walk away from sonny 's employ and never look back . jordan : i got to get to work . tj : oh , i 'll drive you . jordan : oh , another time , baby . shawn : come on . why not ? come on . let the kid show off his new wheels . you know , the gallery is on the way to the school . that 's where you 're headed , right -- the gallery ? jordan : i have an errand to run , and i do n't want him to be late -- i 'll see you both later . anna : do we have a deal ? duke : look at this . it 's all the information i have on the jerome drug operation -- the who , when , where of the shipment arriving tonight . with this information , you can deal the jeromes a death blow . we can finally put that murderous bastard behind bars for the rest of his natural life . alexis : i 'm asking on behalf of you and me and whatever future we have . julian : alexis , we 're not gon na have a future if i give you the information that you 're asking for . do you understand that ? this information is radioactive . if i tell you , it will put you and everyone you care about in danger . alexis : do you think you 're not one of the people that i care about ? you say you want to be your own person . how does that work , exactly ? you -- you get out from under the shadow of your father , only to find yourself under the thumb of someone else ? [ sighs ] tracy : i 'm not gon na listen to your groundless accusations about my husband ! you know what ? i have known luke spencer for decades , and i am well aware of his failings . michael : okay , i know luke , too . he 's my great - uncle , after all . we were never that close , but i always believed that he -- he had a code . there was a line he would n't cross , and now i do n't -- i do n't believe that anymore . kiki : the morning of aj 's funeral , luke showed up at my father 's apartment . he waited until my father and my cousin were not home . i was alone . i opened the door , he pushed his way in , got physical with me to the point that i had to knee him in the groin in order to stop him . tracy : that is a blatant lie . she 's playing you against luke the same way she played you against your brother . you will never get the truth from her . michael : okay , look , the truth is , there 's a lot about luke 's past that people do n't talk about . but think about it -- in the decades that you 've known luke , has he ever done anything underhanded ? has he ever betrayed you or even hurt you ? has he ever forced himself on a woman ? exactly how well do you know the man you married last night ? luke : michael would be a lot safer with you than with the quartermaines . sonny : i can protect michael whether he 's working with me or not , and , you know , plus , he 's his own man , and he makes his own decisions . luke : i 'd just hate to see him get hurt . sonny : no one 's gon na hurt my son , luke . luke : well , i 'm glad to know that you 're on the case , daddy - o. i 'm just wondering , you know , if michael 's gon na compromise the family business in the process of becoming a man . i hope not . speaking of the family business , how 's it going ? word on the street is the jeromes have got you on the ropes . sonny : we 'll see about that . luke : [ chuckles ] you planning a move against julian ? sonny : [ chuckles ] [ cell phone ringing ] sonny : ah , you should probably get that . it 's probably your wife . you do n't want to get in trouble . um , you know what ? enjoy the married life , luke .

[ scene_break ] dr. sinclair : you lied to put him in prison , and then when he got out , you pulled him in to your sick little world . and for what ? just to kill him in cold blood over your twisted obsession for ryan ? it was a waste of a wonderful man . annie : no . my brother was the twisted one . dr. sinclair : shut up ! he knew about love and compassion , something that you know nothing about . that 's why your precious ryan could n't love you , because you 're incapable of it . annie : get out . i mean it , get out ! you got what you wanted ! you got your big confession . so get out of my room ! dr. sinclair : i hope richie haunts you every day of what 's left of your miserable life . [ scene_break ] bianca : you ca n't do this . if you were n't well enough , maybe i would understand , but you are , and so you are coming to my wedding . you will be there for me and for your nieces and for zach , and i do n't care what anybody thinks . i do n't even care what zach thinks . this is between you and me , and i ca n't do this without you . kendall : i ca n't . i can not go and watch zach walk down the aisle holding your daughter , the little girl that i would n't give him . i know , i know it sounds irrational , but when have you ever known me to be rational ? i 'm through thinking . right now , i 'm just feeling , and what i 'm feeling is not very pretty . you all lied to me . you betrayed me . you hurt me more than anyone could have possibly hurt me , and i 've been through way too much , so it 's enough . enough . i wo n't go . i ca n't go . bianca : i ca n't do this without you by my side . please . is there anything that i can do to convince you to change your mind ? kendall : there is one thing you can do . this one thing will make me come to your wedding .

fox : so , whitney , what painful truth are you talking about ? whitney : well , i was just thinking about theresa . i was thinking about theresa and everything that she 's been going through , you know , and the baby whose life was saved . i mean , can you imagine how awful it would be for her to one day find out that her brother 's life was given so that she could live ? the guilt that she would feel , the pressure to be the perfect child , you know , to justify her own existence . that 's the painful truth that i was talking about . fox : you amaze me . you 're always thinking of other people . well , listen , i 'm sure that gwen and ethan are going to do whatever they can to protect their child , because i think you 're right . i think sometimes the truth is too painful , you know ? sometimes things are just better left unsaid . whitney : yeah , yeah , yeah , sometimes they are . fox : yeah . but , look , you do n't have to worry about any of that right now . what you have to do is get dressed and meet me in the kitchen for breakfast , ok ? ok ? whitney : mm - hmm . fox : i 'll see you down there . whitney : well , i hope you meant what you said , fox , about the truth being better left unsaid , because the truth about who my baby 's real father is is definitely best kept unknown . luis : buenos dias , dormilona . hey , how about i get you some nice breakfast , huh ? maybe run you a bath ? mama , you always said a nice hot bath fixes everything , did n't you ? pilar : i do n't want a bath . i do n't want any breakfast . i just want to be alone . luis : look , mama , you ca n't do this to yourself , ok ? now , you suffered too much already , and i do n't want you getting sick again . look , mama , you ca n't do this , ok ? martin fitzgerald is not worth it . pilar : i believed him . i believed with all my heart and soul that the man i married , the man i loved would never walk out on his family . and i blamed alistair all these years , because i knew there had to be some good reason , there had to be some good reason why he just walked out , why he -- why we never heard from him . god , what a fool i 've been . luis : no , you aren't . pilar : yes . yes , i was . oh , my god . oh , my god . i wasted my entire life waiting for that man . and all the while , he was having a wonderful time with his new wife , while i just got old . i worked myself ragged trying to support this family , trying to keep a roof over our heads and food on the table and never once going on welfare , because that would bring shame to your father 's good name . luis : and you know what ? you taught us values because of that , mama . pilar : palomita , my paloma -- she hates me . luis : no . pilar : she does n't want anything to do with me , and she chooses to call that woman who tore our family apart her mother . luis : mama , mama , she 's going to come around . you 'll see . pilar : god , i wasted my entire life for a man who did n't want me , who did n't love me , who ran out on me and his children . god , how could i have been so stupid ? luis : because you loved him , because you were honest and loyal . pilar : i failed you . i failed you . i failed all of you . luis : no . pilar : i 'm so sorry . i 'm so sorry . i 'm a terrible mother . sheridan : wait a minute . you 're not leaving . martin : i think it 's for the best . i mean , i just want to make sure that my children are all right , and then we 'll go . sheridan : no , you can't . katherine : we have to , sheridan . thank you very much for putting us up last night , and thank you for being so generous and kind to us . sheridan : no , i wasn't . i said horrible things to you last night . katherine : i deserved them . sheridan : no , you didn't . i had no right to say that your children are better off without you . it was mean and judgmental , and i 'm so sorry . i 'm sure you had very good reasons as to why you had to leave them . katherine : i 've regretted nothing in my life so much as having to leave my children , not having them in my life . sheridan : why do n't you contact them ? go see them ? katherine : i -- i 've already hurt them so much . i 'm afraid of hurting them more . sheridan : yeah , but if you explain , if you just talk to them . i know it 's going to hurt , but you 're their mother . and i 'm sure deep down inside they still love you and they 'll understand . i mean , i know i would . katherine : you would ? sheridan : there 's no doubt in my mind . i 've had to live my whole life without my mother , and i would give anything to have her back . katherine : even if she had n't died ? if she had left you ? sheridan : well , yeah . i mean , even if she did up and leave me , i -- i 'm not saying that it would n't hurt and i 'm not saying i would n't be angry , but i 'd get over it , you know , because i know like you she would have a very good reason as to why she left . and really , bottom line is i 'd have my mother back . katherine : that 's true . sheridan : so call them , mrs . wheeler . get in touch with them . i 'm sure it 's more painful for them to not know where you are , and you 've been separated far too long . give them a call , let them know that you love them . katherine : maybe i should . this is global news , good afternoon . call tt last and final straw , renegade mp carolyn parish has been kicked out of the liberal caucus . the move comes after a another gaff by the mississauga mp . the the latest antic stomp oing george bush , at least a doll of george bush on a comedy show . tonight we 'll have complete reaction from her colleagues and constituents as well as why she said she refuses to be muzzled . details are surfacing about the facility home to raend . the 46 year old autistic man found drowned after slipping away from the home . 2003 funding report shows that there were problems at the open regional centre long before randy 's death . tonight on global news we 'll tell you why there was concern about the condition of the residents as well as staff morale . the be sure to join the global news team , michael kuss and and the outlook for the santa cl @ qs parade . join us first at 5 : 30 . ivy : whitney , do n't take this the wrong way . i 'm thrilled that you and fox are together , but you 've been here every night . i mean , you have n't been home at all . do n't you want to ? whitney : well , honestly , it really does n't feel like i have a home anymore anyway . ivy : that 's right . i heard about your parents splitting up . i 'm sorry . it must have been very hard . whitney : you know , you were married to julian , of course . i mean , did you have any idea there was anything going on between him and my mother ? ivy : well , let 's just say when julian and i were together -- whitney : mm - hmm . ivy : i always suspected there was someone else in his heart . whitney : so it did n't just destroy my parents ' marriage . it destroyed yours as well . ivy : whatever julian 's feelings were for your mother , that 's not why our marriage failed . the truth is i was in love with sam . i fell in love with him when we were teenagers and i never stopped loving him , although in the beginning i did try to love julian . fox : yeah , but he was always cheating on you . ivy : yes . yeah . your father 's infidelities did hurt . but i 'm at a place where i can accept equal responsibility for the disaster that was our marriage . by trying to pass ethan off as julian 's son , i hurt him every bit as much as he hurt me . that was a terrible , terrible mistake , although i honestly thought at the time i was doing the best thing for everyone -- for me , for julian , for sam , and especially for ethan . you know , i thought i was protecting him from the stigma of being illegitimate by passing him off as julian 's . i was so positive it was the perfect solution . i thought i was giving my baby , my unborn child a chance at a better life , a life without people whispering and staring . i mean , he was going to be a crane after all , with all of the privileges . but passing my son off as another man 's child was the worst thing i could do , for all of us . and i do n't think that any of us will ever really fully recover from it . pilar : a mother 's first priority should be the welfare of her children , but i was so blind to what really happened . i failed you . luis : that 's not true . in fact , you are a wonderful mother , the best that there is . mama , you sacrificed so much for us . pilar : but you still did n't have everything you should have -- shoes , clothes , the family trips . luis : so what ? yeah , you 're right , maybe we did n't have all the material stuff that some other kids have , but we never doubted for a second how much you loved us , and that was worth way more than all that other stuff that money could buy . mama , honest . you 're the best , we were lucky to have you . we love you . pilar : i assure you paloma does n't love me . luis : yes , she does , ok ? she 's -- paloma is just confused , you know ? she 's going to come around , though . you 'll see . pilar : god . you are all my life , all of you , and i let you down . i was a stupid , romantic fool hanging on -- hanging on to the fantasy of who your father really was , keeping my faith in him all these years . and now all of you have wound up paying the price for my poor judgment . luis : no , you are not a fool . you were a good wife , a good catholic , and a good person . and you stayed true to your marriage and you taught us honesty and strength and loyalty , and i would n't trade that for anything . pilar : i ruined your lives . luis : no , you -- you gave us our lives . please do not blame yourself . this is all papa and that woman 's fault , and they 're the ones who should pay . and i 'm going to make sure that they do . sheridan : whatever happened , i know that your children will forgive you . your daughter will forgive you . katherine : are you sure ? you 'd understand , you 'd forgive , if it were you ? sheridan : as i said , it would be hard , but in time , yes , yes , i would , and i 'm sure your children will , too . katherine : oh . martin : ahem . katherine : sheridan , there 's something that we need to talk about . singer : you are my passion for life ivy : it was wrong to deceive julian all those years , letting him think that ethan was his child , and it was wrong to deny sam his son . but the person i hurt the most was ethan , the one person i was trying to protect . whitney : but you know what ? i got to say , ethan has always seemed so happy , you know , and successful . so whatever he went through later had to have been better than growing up with people gossiping about him . ivy : that 's what i thought , too . but i was wrong . ethan was raised as alistair 's firstborn grandson and the crane heir . from birth , he was groomed to take over that empire , and he wanted to . and then when the truth came out , he lost everything -- i mean , not only what he thought was his birthright , but his identity . in an instant , everything he was was taken away from him . fox : and now it seems that neither one of your sons is going to take over at crane industries , because ethan 's not really family and father 's disowned me . ivy : julian had no right to do that . i mean , ethan may not be his son , but you certainly are , and for you to be cheated out of your birthright , it 's wrong . fox : yeah , well , especially now that he plans on giving everything to his bastard son chad . ivy : yeah , well , we 'll see about that . fox : it 's a done deal , though , you know ? i mean , i 'm out . i get nothing . chad gets everything . ivy : oh , no . i am not going to sit by and let that conniving bastard chad harris rob you of what 's rightfully yours . whitney : ok , do n't talk that way about him . chad is a good man . katherine : i do n't know how to begin . sheridan : i think i know what 's going on here . i know that it must be scary , and i would love to help you contact your children . i would even go with you to meet them . but i just can't . i mean , after last night , luis thinks that i 've betrayed him because i defended you , and it just created a horrible rift between us -- i mean , the pain that you and martin have caused his family . and i 'm afraid that if he knew i was getting more involved with you , that rift would just grow bigger and to the point where it might not even heal , and i ca n't risk that . i ca n't risk losing luis , because i -- god , i just love him so much . he 's my life . katherine : of course . i understand . katherine 's voice : if you got closer to me , it would destroy your relationship with luis . i could n't be responsible for that . katherine : you know , whatever your feelings for me are , they are not worth losing luis over . sheridan : maybe after a night apart he 'll be willing to talk . katherine : oh , i 'm sure he will . it 's so obvious how deeply , deeply he loves you , sheridan . sheridan : i love him , too . katherine : you go find him . he 's hurting , and i know that his feelings have not changed for you , not at all . sheridan : ok . you know what ? i bet he 's up at the mansion with pilar . and you know what ? remember what i said , mrs . wheeler . contact your children . they need to have you in their lives . katherine : oh , martin . martin : hey , it 's ok . let it out . katherine : i actually thought there was a moment where i could finally tell sheridan the truth , that i 'm her mother , that it 's ok , that it 's going to be ok . but i was wrong . i ca n't tell her , not now , not ever . luis : i 'll never forgive papa for abandoning us the way he did . i just ca n't believe that sheridan would defend mrs . wheeler after everything that she 's done to our family . pilar : please ? please , i do n't want to hear that woman 's name anymore . i do n't want to hear any of this . luis : i 'm sorry . pilar : i just -- i ca n't take much more right now . luis : will you at least eat something ? pilar : i told you , i do n't want to eat , i do n't want to talk , i do n't want to think . no quiero hacer nada . please , please ? i love you , luis , but i just -- i just want to be alone , please . luis : no . mama , when a lopez - fitzgerald is in pain , we stick close by , ok ? and you 're the one who taught me that as a child . pilar : i am not a child , luis . i love you , mijo . but i just need to be alone , just me and god . please ? please ? luis : ok . ok . look , you promise -- you promise you 'll call me if you need me , ok ? i 'll be close by . mama , listen to me . you are a wonderful person and a wonderful mother . now , i do n't want you ever to doubt that , especially because of what papa has done , ok ? te quiero mucho , mama . pilar : yo tambien . luis : how can my father betray my family like that ? and how could sheridan support mrs . wheeler and betray me ? floats - that can only mean one thing - santa 's on his way for the 100th annual santa claus parade . and join me sunday at 8 : 30 a.m. for countdown to santa - i 'll be live at the parade starting point with all the anticipation and excitement of parade day . tonight , things come back to haunt joey when he turns down a lead role at 7 : 30 . meanwhile a storm starts brewing on survivor vanutatu at 8 - and i 'm not talking about the weather . followed by the apprentice at 9 - see you next time . fox : whitney , i do n't understand . how can you sit there and defend chad when you know that he out and out stole my position at crane industries ? whitney : well , that 's not what i 'm doing . look , all i 'm saying is that chad has always been a good guy , and i just ca n't imagine that he would intentionally steal the crane empire from you . he 's just not like that . it must have just happened that way . fox : things like that do n't just happen . he knew exactly what he was doing . he saw a rift between me and my father , and he jumped on it , he took advantage of it . ivy : fox , chad is whitney 's half brother . fox : well , i know that , mom , and he 's mine , too , but i 'd rather forget about it . ivy : the point is i do n't think she wants us to speak ill of him , and i think we should respect that , and i am sorry if i offended you , whitney . whitney : no , no , please . it 's ok . really , it 's fine . ivy : well , if we 're all finished , i think i 'll clean up . fox : i 'll help you . ivy : ok . ivy : you know , what i really need help with is hanging all this indian corn on all the doors at the b & b and getting all the rooms ready for the guests . we are almost completely booked for thanksgiving week . fox : is that right ? ivy : yeah . fox : you got it . you really love running that place , do n't you ? ivy : yes , i do . yeah . if my sorority sisters could see me now , they would never believe that princess ivy would one day find happiness as an innkeeper , but sharing the responsibility with sam -- i love it . fox : listen , whitney , i 'm sorry . i was out of line about chad . i 'm sorry . i apologize . whitney : no , no , no . forget it . it 's ok . fox : see you later ? whitney : mm - hmm . ivy : fox ? fox : yo . ivy : could you also take out that trash ? fox : right . yeah , no problem . i can dump the trash . whitney : got it ? ivy : you know , whitney , when you first started dating fox , i was concerned . but i was wrong . you 're really , really good for him , and you 've helped the two of us get closer together , and i will always be grateful for that . whitney : oh . i 'm the one who should be grateful . i mean , you 've been so kind letting me stay here and , you know , making me feel like i 'm sort of part of a family again . ivy : you 're a good girl , whitney , and you never should have had to go through everything that happened . i mean , finding out that the man you love , the man you planned to marry was your brother . it must have been awful . whitney : yeah . you know , it 's funny , because a part of me feels like i should have known , you know ? ivy : no , no , you can not blame yourself . it 's not your fault . whitney : my brain knows that , but my heart -- that 's another story . ivy : the important thing is that you found out when you did , before you and chad got married and , god forbid , started having children . i -- whitney : yeah -- ivy : whitney , are you ok ? whitney : hmm -- no , fine . fine , thank you . ivy : i 'm so sorry . all of this talk about everything , it 's just -- it 's upset you . whitney : no . actually , it 's given me a lot to think about . thank you . ivy : i 'm just going to get the rest of this . whitney : ok . yeah , i got plenty to think about . martin : we should have never come back to harmony . it was a foolish fantasy to think that we could somehow be part of our children 's lives again . we need to leave as soon as possible and never look back , but , first , i want to see pilar and my children one last time . i ca n't just walk away again . katherine : you were right , martin . we have to go . if the secret of who i am came out , not only would alistair seek his revenge , but it would just drive this wedge between sheridan and luis . sheridan : look , luis , i know you did n't want to talk to me last night . that 's why i was hoping today -- luis : yeah , i do n't -- i just do n't know if that 's a good idea yet . sheridan : you know , i once read that the secret to a long marriage is to never go to bed angry , and it just did n't feel right going to bed without you last night . luis : after everything that we 've meant to each other , how could you not be there for me last night ? how could -- how could you support this woman that has caused my family so much pain ? what , do you not love me at all ? is that it ? sheridan : of course i do , more than anything . look , i never meant to hurt you , all right ? i never meant to let you down . that was never my intention , but you know how confused i have been about my feelings towards mrs . wheeler ever since we met her . luis : and what about the feelings you 're supposed to have for me ? sheridan : i was just concerned about her . luis : more concerned than you were for me ? more concerned than you were for my mother ? sheridan : i just felt that there was more to the story , and i still think that there is . luis : she 's treated you like a daughter , sheridan . and you know all these years she 's believed that my father is a saint and whatever reason he was forced to leave was out of his control . and you know that she 's always hoped that one day he would come back to her . sheridan : of course i do . luis : so then you had to have known how she would feel when she found out the truth . and yet you still supported this woman , this mrs . wheeler . why ? sheridan : i do n't know , all right ? i wish i did . there is just -- there 's something about mrs . wheeler , but -- look , luis , the point is , is that i love you , all right ? you have to believe that . your family is my family , too . luis : ok . fine . then i love you , too . the thing is i just do n't know if that 's enough right now , ok ? sheridan : what do you mean ? luis : well , today i found out that my father betrayed me , and i also found out that i ca n't count on the woman that i love . it 's just a lot to deal with right now . sheridan : wait , luis . whitney : as you know , i 've been seeing fox crane , and i was going to try to pass off this child as fox 's , but now i realize how crazy that is and that i could n't possibly do something like that . it would n't be fair to fox , to chad , or to my baby . father lonigan : a wise decision . whitney : so , i thought about it some more , and now i know exactly what i have to do . father lonigan : and what is that ? whitney : i 'm going to leave harmony . sheridan : i had a feeling you 'd be here . luis : look , i 'm sorry i walked out on you , ok ? i just have a lot going through my mind right now . i 'm just trying to understand it all . i can't . sheridan : i do n't understand it , either . but i do know that i love you . luis : i love you , too . sheridan : look , luis , i do n't want this to come between us , ok ? i mean , i lost you once before , and i 'm not going to lose you again . we 've loved each other too long and too deeply for our relationship to end over this . luis : i agree . the thing is i 'm just going through the worst time of my life right now , and i have to know that in the midst of this craziness and all this pain that you 're going to be there for me , by my side . i have to know that the woman i love supports me . do you ? whitney : you see , father , i got it all worked out . i 'm going to tell everyone that i 'm taking a semester abroad in europe . i 'm going to go somewhere where nobody knows me . i 'm going to have the baby . i 'm going to give him or her up for adoption . and then when i come back , it 'll be like it never even happened . father lonigan : but it will have happened , whitney . whitney : this is the best thing for everyone , father . my baby will have loving , adoptive parents who wo n't know that it 's a result of incest . and since no one in harmony will have known i 'm pregnant , no one will ever find out the truth . fox : scat ! hey ! get out of here ! stupid cat . whoo . my goodness . my mom said tabitha had a big cat , but that thing was more like a lion . is n't this perfect ? a great way to start off the morning , the place full of garbage . what is this ? a home pregnancy test ? oh , my god , it 's positive . that means someone in this family is pregnant ? i know it 's not my mom . and jessica has n't been home . oh , my god . oh , my god , whitney 's pregnant . martin : sweetheart , sweetheart , no one will ever know who you really are , i promise , and sheridan and julian will be safe . luis and sheridan 's relationship -- it 'll be fine . katherine : this is the way it has to be , martin -- martin : yeah . katherine : because as much as i want sheridan to know that i 'm her mother and as dearly as i would love to have her in my life , it can never happen . she and luis belong together . they have overcome so many obstacles to come to this place . and last night , when she started to take my side over his , it caused trouble in their relationship . if she knew who i really was , she 'd be torn . she 'd be tempted to support me over their relationship . martin : yes , she would . katherine : which is why she can never know the truth , because it would destroy her relationship with luis forever . i know that . we ca n't let that happen , martin . we can't . luis : well ? do i have your support ? sheridan : of course you do , luis . i love you . you are my life . i just met mrs . wheeler this summer , and in spite of this mysterious connection that i feel towards her , she means nothing to me . god , you mean everything . luis : hey . i did n't mean to seem selfish . sheridan : no , no , you were n't , not at all . luis : god , it 's just been horrible . sheridan : i know , i know . and i 'm sorry if you ever felt for a minute that i was n't completely behind you , because you are the one that i love . you are the one that i support , not mrs . wheeler . i mean , i barely even know her . she means nothing to me . she is no one . ethan : i 'm just looking forward to the future we 're going to have with our baby , and we 're going to have that no matter what theresa does . theresa : that 's what you think . fox : whitney , i know everything . i know that you 're having a baby . katherine : i hope you wo n't hate me . sheridan : frankly , i wish i 'd never laid eyes on you . | pilar is still depressed and feels like she is worthless , thanks to martin and katherine . luis tries to cheer her up , get her moving , but she refuses . he finally leaves her alone and runs into sheridan who apologizes and makes up for defending katherine last night . meanwhile , she has come from telling katherine she needs to find her children and let them know what 's happened to her . martin and katherine are still saying they 're leaving soon . | <s>[INST] fox : so , whitney , what painful truth are you talking about ? whitney : well , i was just thinking about theresa . i was thinking about theresa and everything that she 's been going through , you know , and the baby whose life was saved . i mean , can you imagine how awful it would be for her to one day find out that her brother 's life was given so that she could live ? the guilt that she would feel , the pressure to be the perfect child , you know , to justify her own existence . that 's the painful truth that i was talking about . fox : you amaze me . you 're always thinking of other people . well , listen , i 'm sure that gwen and ethan are going to do whatever they can to protect their child , because i think you 're right . i think sometimes the truth is too painful , you know ? sometimes things are just better left unsaid . whitney : yeah , yeah , yeah , sometimes they are . fox : yeah . but , look , you do n't have to worry about any of that right now . what you have to do is get dressed and meet me in the kitchen for breakfast , ok ? ok ? whitney : mm - hmm . fox : i 'll see you down there . whitney : well , i hope you meant what you said , fox , about the truth being better left unsaid , because the truth about who my baby 's real father is is definitely best kept unknown . luis : buenos dias , dormilona . hey , how about i get you some nice breakfast , huh ? maybe run you a bath ? mama , you always said a nice hot bath fixes everything , did n't you ? pilar : i do n't want a bath . i do n't want any breakfast . i just want to be alone . luis : look , mama , you ca n't do this to yourself , ok ? now , you suffered too much already , and i do n't want you getting sick again . look , mama , you ca n't do this , ok ? martin fitzgerald is not worth it . pilar : i believed him . i believed with all my heart and soul that the man i married , the man i loved would never walk out on his family . and i blamed alistair all these years , because i knew there had to be some good reason , there had to be some good reason why he just walked out , why he -- why we never heard from him . god , what a fool i 've been . luis : no , you aren't . pilar : yes . yes , i was . oh , my god . oh , my god . i wasted my entire life waiting for that man . and all the while , he was having a wonderful time with his new wife , while i just got old . i worked myself ragged trying to support this family , trying to keep a roof over our heads and food on the table and never once going on welfare , because that would bring shame to your father 's good name . luis : and you know what ? you taught us values because of that , mama . pilar : palomita , my paloma -- she hates me . luis : no . pilar : she does n't want anything to do with me , and she chooses to call that woman who tore our family apart her mother . luis : mama , mama , she 's going to come around . you 'll see . pilar : god , i wasted my entire life for a man who did n't want me , who did n't love me , who ran out on me and his children . god , how could i have been so stupid ? luis : because you loved him , because you were honest and loyal . pilar : i failed you . i failed you . i failed all of you . luis : no . pilar : i 'm so sorry . i 'm so sorry . i 'm a terrible mother . sheridan : wait a minute . you 're not leaving . martin : i think it 's for the best . i mean , i just want to make sure that my children are all right , and then we 'll go . sheridan : no , you can't . katherine : we have to , sheridan . thank you very much for putting us up last night , and thank you for being so generous and kind to us . sheridan : no , i wasn't . i said horrible things to you last night . katherine : i deserved them . sheridan : no , you didn't . i had no right to say that your children are better off without you . it was mean and judgmental , and i 'm so sorry . i 'm sure you had very good reasons as to why you had to leave them . katherine : i 've regretted nothing in my life so much as having to leave my children , not having them in my life . sheridan : why do n't you contact them ? go see them ? katherine : i -- i 've already hurt them so much . i 'm afraid of hurting them more . sheridan : yeah , but if you explain , if you just talk to them . i know it 's going to hurt , but you 're their mother . and i 'm sure deep down inside they still love you and they 'll understand . i mean , i know i would . katherine : you would ? sheridan : there 's no doubt in my mind . i 've had to live my whole life without my mother , and i would give anything to have her back . katherine : even if she had n't died ? if she had left you ? sheridan : well , yeah . i mean , even if she did up and leave me , i -- i 'm not saying that it would n't hurt and i 'm not saying i would n't be angry , but i 'd get over it , you know , because i know like you she would have a very good reason as to why she left . and really , bottom line is i 'd have my mother back . katherine : that 's true . sheridan : so call them , mrs . wheeler . get in touch with them . i 'm sure it 's more painful for them to not know where you are , and you 've been separated far too long . give them a call , let them know that you love them . katherine : maybe i should . this is global news , good afternoon . call tt last and final straw , renegade mp carolyn parish has been kicked out of the liberal caucus . the move comes after a another gaff by the mississauga mp . the the latest antic stomp oing george bush , at least a doll of george bush on a comedy show . tonight we 'll have complete reaction from her colleagues and constituents as well as why she said she refuses to be muzzled . details are surfacing about the facility home to raend . the 46 year old autistic man found drowned after slipping away from the home . 2003 funding report shows that there were problems at the open regional centre long before randy 's death . tonight on global news we 'll tell you why there was concern about the condition of the residents as well as staff morale . the be sure to join the global news team , michael kuss and and the outlook for the santa cl @ qs parade . join us first at 5 : 30 . ivy : whitney , do n't take this the wrong way . i 'm thrilled that you and fox are together , but you 've been here every night . i mean , you have n't been home at all . do n't you want to ? whitney : well , honestly , it really does n't feel like i have a home anymore anyway . ivy : that 's right . i heard about your parents splitting up . i 'm sorry . it must have been very hard . whitney : you know , you were married to julian , of course . i mean , did you have any idea there was anything going on between him and my mother ? ivy : well , let 's just say when julian and i were together -- whitney : mm - hmm . ivy : i always suspected there was someone else in his heart . whitney : so it did n't just destroy my parents ' marriage . it destroyed yours as well . ivy : whatever julian 's feelings were for your mother , that 's not why our marriage failed . the truth is i was in love with sam . i fell in love with him when we were teenagers and i never stopped loving him , although in the beginning i did try to love julian . fox : yeah , but he was always cheating on you . ivy : yes . yeah . your father 's infidelities did hurt . but i 'm at a place where i can accept equal responsibility for the disaster that was our marriage . by trying to pass ethan off as julian 's son , i hurt him every bit as much as he hurt me . that was a terrible , terrible mistake , although i honestly thought at the time i was doing the best thing for everyone -- for me , for julian , for sam , and especially for ethan . you know , i thought i was protecting him from the stigma of being illegitimate by passing him off as julian 's . i was so positive it was the perfect solution . i thought i was giving my baby , my unborn child a chance at a better life , a life without people whispering and staring . i mean , he was going to be a crane after all , with all of the privileges . but passing my son off as another man 's child was the worst thing i could do , for all of us . and i do n't think that any of us will ever really fully recover from it . pilar : a mother 's first priority should be the welfare of her children , but i was so blind to what really happened . i failed you . luis : that 's not true . in fact , you are a wonderful mother , the best that there is . mama , you sacrificed so much for us . pilar : but you still did n't have everything you should have -- shoes , clothes , the family trips . luis : so what ? yeah , you 're right , maybe we did n't have all the material stuff that some other kids have , but we never doubted for a second how much you loved us , and that was worth way more than all that other stuff that money could buy . mama , honest . you 're the best , we were lucky to have you . we love you . pilar : i assure you paloma does n't love me . luis : yes , she does , ok ? she 's -- paloma is just confused , you know ? she 's going to come around , though . you 'll see . pilar : god . you are all my life , all of you , and i let you down . i was a stupid , romantic fool hanging on -- hanging on to the fantasy of who your father really was , keeping my faith in him all these years . and now all of you have wound up paying the price for my poor judgment . luis : no , you are not a fool . you were a good wife , a good catholic , and a good person . and you stayed true to your marriage and you taught us honesty and strength and loyalty , and i would n't trade that for anything . pilar : i ruined your lives . luis : no , you -- you gave us our lives . please do not blame yourself . this is all papa and that woman 's fault , and they 're the ones who should pay . and i 'm going to make sure that they do . sheridan : whatever happened , i know that your children will forgive you . your daughter will forgive you . katherine : are you sure ? you 'd understand , you 'd forgive , if it were you ? sheridan : as i said , it would be hard , but in time , yes , yes , i would , and i 'm sure your children will , too . katherine : oh . martin : ahem . katherine : sheridan , there 's something that we need to talk about . singer : you are my passion for life ivy : it was wrong to deceive julian all those years , letting him think that ethan was his child , and it was wrong to deny sam his son . but the person i hurt the most was ethan , the one person i was trying to protect . whitney : but you know what ? i got to say , ethan has always seemed so happy , you know , and successful . so whatever he went through later had to have been better than growing up with people gossiping about him . ivy : that 's what i thought , too . but i was wrong . ethan was raised as alistair 's firstborn grandson and the crane heir . from birth , he was groomed to take over that empire , and he wanted to . and then when the truth came out , he lost everything -- i mean , not only what he thought was his birthright , but his identity . in an instant , everything he was was taken away from him . fox : and now it seems that neither one of your sons is going to take over at crane industries , because ethan 's not really family and father 's disowned me . ivy : julian had no right to do that . i mean , ethan may not be his son , but you certainly are , and for you to be cheated out of your birthright , it 's wrong . fox : yeah , well , especially now that he plans on giving everything to his bastard son chad . ivy : yeah , well , we 'll see about that . fox : it 's a done deal , though , you know ? i mean , i 'm out . i get nothing . chad gets everything . ivy : oh , no . i am not going to sit by and let that conniving bastard chad harris rob you of what 's rightfully yours . whitney : ok , do n't talk that way about him . chad is a good man . katherine : i do n't know how to begin . sheridan : i think i know what 's going on here . i know that it must be scary , and i would love to help you contact your children . i would even go with you to meet them . but i just can't . i mean , after last night , luis thinks that i 've betrayed him because i defended you , and it just created a horrible rift between us -- i mean , the pain that you and martin have caused his family . and i 'm afraid that if he knew i was getting more involved with you , that rift would just grow bigger and to the point where it might not even heal , and i ca n't risk that . i ca n't risk losing luis , because i -- god , i just love him so much . he 's my life . katherine : of course . i understand . katherine 's voice : if you got closer to me , it would destroy your relationship with luis . i could n't be responsible for that . katherine : you know , whatever your feelings for me are , they are not worth losing luis over . sheridan : maybe after a night apart he 'll be willing to talk . katherine : oh , i 'm sure he will . it 's so obvious how deeply , deeply he loves you , sheridan . sheridan : i love him , too . katherine : you go find him . he 's hurting , and i know that his feelings have not changed for you , not at all . sheridan : ok . you know what ? i bet he 's up at the mansion with pilar . and you know what ? remember what i said , mrs . wheeler . contact your children . they need to have you in their lives . katherine : oh , martin . martin : hey , it 's ok . let it out . katherine : i actually thought there was a moment where i could finally tell sheridan the truth , that i 'm her mother , that it 's ok , that it 's going to be ok . but i was wrong . i ca n't tell her , not now , not ever . luis : i 'll never forgive papa for abandoning us the way he did . i just ca n't believe that sheridan would defend mrs . wheeler after everything that she 's done to our family . pilar : please ? please , i do n't want to hear that woman 's name anymore . i do n't want to hear any of this . luis : i 'm sorry . pilar : i just -- i ca n't take much more right now . luis : will you at least eat something ? pilar : i told you , i do n't want to eat , i do n't want to talk , i do n't want to think . no quiero hacer nada . please , please ? i love you , luis , but i just -- i just want to be alone , please . luis : no . mama , when a lopez - fitzgerald is in pain , we stick close by , ok ? and you 're the one who taught me that as a child . pilar : i am not a child , luis . i love you , mijo . but i just need to be alone , just me and god . please ? please ? luis : ok . ok . look , you promise -- you promise you 'll call me if you need me , ok ? i 'll be close by . mama , listen to me . you are a wonderful person and a wonderful mother . now , i do n't want you ever to doubt that , especially because of what papa has done , ok ? te quiero mucho , mama . pilar : yo tambien . luis : how can my father betray my family like that ? and how could sheridan support mrs . wheeler and betray me ? floats - that can only mean one thing - santa 's on his way for the 100th annual santa claus parade . and join me sunday at 8 : 30 a.m. for countdown to santa - i 'll be live at the parade starting point with all the anticipation and excitement of parade day . tonight , things come back to haunt joey when he turns down a lead role at 7 : 30 . meanwhile a storm starts brewing on survivor vanutatu at 8 - and i 'm not talking about the weather . followed by the apprentice at 9 - see you next time . fox : whitney , i do n't understand . how can you sit there and defend chad when you know that he out and out stole my position at crane industries ? whitney : well , that 's not what i 'm doing . look , all i 'm saying is that chad has always been a good guy , and i just ca n't imagine that he would intentionally steal the crane empire from you . he 's just not like that . it must have just happened that way . fox : things like that do n't just happen . he knew exactly what he was doing . he saw a rift between me and my father , and he jumped on it , he took advantage of it . ivy : fox , chad is whitney 's half brother . fox : well , i know that , mom , and he 's mine , too , but i 'd rather forget about it . ivy : the point is i do n't think she wants us to speak ill of him , and i think we should respect that , and i am sorry if i offended you , whitney . whitney : no , no , please . it 's ok . really , it 's fine . ivy : well , if we 're all finished , i think i 'll clean up . fox : i 'll help you . ivy : ok . ivy : you know , what i really need help with is hanging all this indian corn on all the doors at the b & b and getting all the rooms ready for the guests . we are almost completely booked for thanksgiving week . fox : is that right ? ivy : yeah . fox : you got it . you really love running that place , do n't you ? ivy : yes , i do . yeah . if my sorority sisters could see me now , they would never believe that princess ivy would one day find happiness as an innkeeper , but sharing the responsibility with sam -- i love it . fox : listen , whitney , i 'm sorry . i was out of line about chad . i 'm sorry . i apologize . whitney : no , no , no . forget it . it 's ok . fox : see you later ? whitney : mm - hmm . ivy : fox ? fox : yo . ivy : could you also take out that trash ? fox : right . yeah , no problem . i can dump the trash . whitney : got it ? ivy : you know , whitney , when you first started dating fox , i was concerned . but i was wrong . you 're really , really good for him , and you 've helped the two of us get closer together , and i will always be grateful for that . whitney : oh . i 'm the one who should be grateful . i mean , you 've been so kind letting me stay here and , you know , making me feel like i 'm sort of part of a family again . ivy : you 're a good girl , whitney , and you never should have had to go through everything that happened . i mean , finding out that the man you love , the man you planned to marry was your brother . it must have been awful . whitney : yeah . you know , it 's funny , because a part of me feels like i should have known , you know ? ivy : no , no , you can not blame yourself . it 's not your fault . whitney : my brain knows that , but my heart -- that 's another story . ivy : the important thing is that you found out when you did , before you and chad got married and , god forbid , started having children . i -- whitney : yeah -- ivy : whitney , are you ok ? whitney : hmm -- no , fine . fine , thank you . ivy : i 'm so sorry . all of this talk about everything , it 's just -- it 's upset you . whitney : no . actually , it 's given me a lot to think about . thank you . ivy : i 'm just going to get the rest of this . whitney : ok . yeah , i got plenty to think about . martin : we should have never come back to harmony . it was a foolish fantasy to think that we could somehow be part of our children 's lives again . we need to leave as soon as possible and never look back , but , first , i want to see pilar and my children one last time . i ca n't just walk away again . katherine : you were right , martin . we have to go . if the secret of who i am came out , not only would alistair seek his revenge , but it would just drive this wedge between sheridan and luis . sheridan : look , luis , i know you did n't want to talk to me last night . that 's why i was hoping today -- luis : yeah , i do n't -- i just do n't know if that 's a good idea yet . sheridan : you know , i once read that the secret to a long marriage is to never go to bed angry , and it just did n't feel right going to bed without you last night . luis : after everything that we 've meant to each other , how could you not be there for me last night ? how could -- how could you support this woman that has caused my family so much pain ? what , do you not love me at all ? is that it ? sheridan : of course i do , more than anything . look , i never meant to hurt you , all right ? i never meant to let you down . that was never my intention , but you know how confused i have been about my feelings towards mrs . wheeler ever since we met her . luis : and what about the feelings you 're supposed to have for me ? sheridan : i was just concerned about her . luis : more concerned than you were for me ? more concerned than you were for my mother ? sheridan : i just felt that there was more to the story , and i still think that there is . luis : she 's treated you like a daughter , sheridan . and you know all these years she 's believed that my father is a saint and whatever reason he was forced to leave was out of his control . and you know that she 's always hoped that one day he would come back to her . sheridan : of course i do . luis : so then you had to have known how she would feel when she found out the truth . and yet you still supported this woman , this mrs . wheeler . why ? sheridan : i do n't know , all right ? i wish i did . there is just -- there 's something about mrs . wheeler , but -- look , luis , the point is , is that i love you , all right ? you have to believe that . your family is my family , too . luis : ok . fine . then i love you , too . the thing is i just do n't know if that 's enough right now , ok ? sheridan : what do you mean ? luis : well , today i found out that my father betrayed me , and i also found out that i ca n't count on the woman that i love . it 's just a lot to deal with right now . sheridan : wait , luis . whitney : as you know , i 've been seeing fox crane , and i was going to try to pass off this child as fox 's , but now i realize how crazy that is and that i could n't possibly do something like that . it would n't be fair to fox , to chad , or to my baby . father lonigan : a wise decision . whitney : so , i thought about it some more , and now i know exactly what i have to do . father lonigan : and what is that ? whitney : i 'm going to leave harmony . sheridan : i had a feeling you 'd be here . luis : look , i 'm sorry i walked out on you , ok ? i just have a lot going through my mind right now . i 'm just trying to understand it all . i can't . sheridan : i do n't understand it , either . but i do know that i love you . luis : i love you , too . sheridan : look , luis , i do n't want this to come between us , ok ? i mean , i lost you once before , and i 'm not going to lose you again . we 've loved each other too long and too deeply for our relationship to end over this . luis : i agree . the thing is i 'm just going through the worst time of my life right now , and i have to know that in the midst of this craziness and all this pain that you 're going to be there for me , by my side . i have to know that the woman i love supports me . do you ? whitney : you see , father , i got it all worked out . i 'm going to tell everyone that i 'm taking a semester abroad in europe . i 'm going to go somewhere where nobody knows me . i 'm going to have the baby . i 'm going to give him or her up for adoption . and then when i come back , it 'll be like it never even happened . father lonigan : but it will have happened , whitney . whitney : this is the best thing for everyone , father . my baby will have loving , adoptive parents who wo n't know that it 's a result of incest . and since no one in harmony will have known i 'm pregnant , no one will ever find out the truth . fox : scat ! hey ! get out of here ! stupid cat . whoo . my goodness . my mom said tabitha had a big cat , but that thing was more like a lion . is n't this perfect ? a great way to start off the morning , the place full of garbage . what is this ? a home pregnancy test ? oh , my god , it 's positive . that means someone in this family is pregnant ? i know it 's not my mom . and jessica has n't been home . oh , my god . oh , my god , whitney 's pregnant . martin : sweetheart , sweetheart , no one will ever know who you really are , i promise , and sheridan and julian will be safe . luis and sheridan 's relationship -- it 'll be fine . katherine : this is the way it has to be , martin -- martin : yeah . katherine : because as much as i want sheridan to know that i 'm her mother and as dearly as i would love to have her in my life , it can never happen . she and luis belong together . they have overcome so many obstacles to come to this place . and last night , when she started to take my side over his , it caused trouble in their relationship . if she knew who i really was , she 'd be torn . she 'd be tempted to support me over their relationship . martin : yes , she would . katherine : which is why she can never know the truth , because it would destroy her relationship with luis forever . i know that . we ca n't let that happen , martin . we can't . luis : well ? do i have your support ? sheridan : of course you do , luis . i love you . you are my life . i just met mrs . wheeler this summer , and in spite of this mysterious connection that i feel towards her , she means nothing to me . god , you mean everything . luis : hey . i did n't mean to seem selfish . sheridan : no , no , you were n't , not at all . luis : god , it 's just been horrible . sheridan : i know , i know . and i 'm sorry if you ever felt for a minute that i was n't completely behind you , because you are the one that i love . you are the one that i support , not mrs . wheeler . i mean , i barely even know her . she means nothing to me . she is no one . ethan : i 'm just looking forward to the future we 're going to have with our baby , and we 're going to have that no matter what theresa does . theresa : that 's what you think . fox : whitney , i know everything . i know that you 're having a baby . katherine : i hope you wo n't hate me . sheridan : frankly , i wish i 'd never laid eyes on you .Summarize.[/INST]pilar is still depressed and feels like she is worthless , thanks to martin and katherine . luis tries to cheer her up , get her moving , but she refuses . he finally leaves her alone and runs into sheridan who apologizes and makes up for defending katherine last night . meanwhile , she has come from telling katherine she needs to find her children and let them know what 's happened to her . martin and katherine are still saying they 're leaving soon .</s> | 15,837 |

[ scene_break ] sabrina : i knew what i did was wrong . as soon as i left the country with carlos , i was sorry . michael : hold on . look . once the baby was born , rivera held sabrina captive , okay ? in the end , she was his victim , too . jordan : i am sorry for what you 've gone through , sabrina , but that does n't change the fact that you helped carlos remain at large . i mean , for all we know , you could have given carlos a chance to kill again . so you think about that when you 're sitting in a jail cell waiting for your arraignment and your bail to be set . michael : look , i understand that sabrina has to be held accountable , all right . but do you have to take her into custody tonight ? she 's not a flight risk . her son is here in port charles . she has n't even had a chance to see him . sabrina : it 's been weeks . i just -- i miss him so much and i just want to hold him again . commissioner , please ? andré : excuse me . i 'm sorry . jordan , can i speak to you for a minute ? [ scene_break ] anna : um ... you should n't have heard that . i -- i did n't want to worry you . robin : well , is it true ? anna : the night that duke died , i realized that julian was behind it , you know ? i mean , carlos was the enforcer . he pulled the trigger . so , i tracked carlos to sabrina 's apartment . and she confirmed . he told her he killed duke . so i asked her to call him . he told her that he was down on pier 54 . so i went after him . i intended to take him into custody . robin : why did n't you do that ? anna : because he just came straight out and said that the charges would never stick . he would be released for lack of evidence . and he was right , you know ? robin : [ sighs ] anna : the case was slim against him . and then when i realized that ... the man who was really responsible for killing him , for killing duke , julian , was gon na get away with it , i do n't know . i just -- i snapped . i just snapped . all my training and my principles , they just went out the window . i shot him . i shot him four times . robin : how could he survive that ? anna : yeah . he set me up . yeah , he and this man kyle sloane . carlos was wearing , like , a bulletproof vest . he had blood capsules . robin : what ? anna : yeah . robin : i mean , what were they trying to accomplish ? anna : it does n't matter what their motives were . the end result was that for months , i believed that i had committed a murder . and that the man who was responsible for duke 's death was gon na get away with it , because of my actions . and that 's when i found out then that carlos was still alive . robin : and you and sonny tracked him in ecuador . anna : yeah . we did . we brought him back here . and i confessed , because honestly , i did n't care what happened to me as long as carlos testified against julian . robin : mom . why did n't you tell me any of this was going on ? anna : because i created this mess . i should be able to handle it . robin : okay , um , there is such a thing as being too independent . anna : i know . i was a disaster there for a while . but i 'm getting better now . robin : and the da said the charges against you have been dropped . anna : yeah . robin : thank god . you 've been punishing yourself enough . mom , come here . i think it 's time to start healing . [ scene_break ] sonny : ava and the da ? carly : mm - hmm . sonny : that 's how she escaped the charges in the arms deal . that son of a bitch was nailing her . carly : [ laughs ] gosh . i 'm assuming she kept it as insurance in case she ever wanted to blackmail him . sonny : and you used her own leverage against her . carly : that 's right . sonny : ahh ! carly : oh , speaking of which , i need a new phone . sonny : why ? carly : because ava destroyed mine trying to get her hands on the recording . then i showed her the flash drive . then she jumped me , and i fought back . sonny : ooh ! [ laughs ] must have been a thing of beauty . carly : well , we were in the metro court bathroom in the middle of the nurses ' ball , so i could n't kick her ass the way i wanted to . but i did get a few shots in before i let her think she won . sonny : why -- why 'd you give her the satisfaction ? carly : because i got to watch her face when i told her that i already uploaded the recording to the cloud . sonny : ahhh . carly : wait , wait . sonny : yeah . carly : it 's at my disposal whenever i want it . it is all the leverage we need to keep avery with us for good . what do you think ? sonny : what do i think ? have i ever told you how amazing you are ? carly : i could hear that again . sonny : have i ever told you how amazing you are ? carly : [ giggles ] [ scene_break ] ava : i do n't care if carly puts that video of us on national television . i do n't care if you lose your job . i do n't care about any of it . i am not gon na give into her demands just because you tell me to . paul : what are you talking about ? what does carly want ? ava : she wants to take avery from me . that 's what she wants . carly and sonny think that they can keep my daughter from me . well , they ca n't . i have custody . and sex tape or not , i 'm taking avery home . paul : well , what good is getting your child back if you go to prison for the rest of your life ? as i told you before , ava , you let that tape out , then i 'll give over the proof that you murdered connie . and as soon as i hand over your confession , you 'll be on trial for murder . ava : paul , you do n't want to do that . [ scene_break ] anna : i honestly do n't feel i can move on until i have some kind of justice , you know ? because the man who is really responsible for duke 's death -- julian jerome -- there 's nothing to tie him to the crime . he 's still alive . he 's well , he 's married , in a new house , raising his new son . duke never got to even meet his son . there 's never any punishment for julian , ever . there 's no guilt . i do n't think anything keeps him awake at night , but that 's going to change because somehow , one way or the other , i am going to bring him to trial . if it 's not for duke 's murder , then it will be for carlos ' . robin : mom . none of that will bring duke back . anna : i know that . but maybe if i have some closure , i can find some peace . robin : you know ... anna : [ sighs ] robin : you know that peace does not come from revenge . anna : yeah . robin : it comes from living the best life that you can live , a life that duke would have wanted for you .

[ scene_break ] tracy : sabrina 's in port charles ? dillon : she showed up at the nurses ' ball at the very end , and i am sure that she 's very eager to see her son . tracy : really ? let 's see -- how eager could she really be if she went to a party instead of coming straight here ? dillon : well , you must have missed this . it 's a note from sabrina . i found it in the foyer . it says that she was waiting for you and the baby , and she 'll be back later .

[ scene_break ] ava : what would the press and everybody else think if they found out that you were sitting on that missing evidence against me all this time ? paul : oh , i 'll just say that i only recently located your confession . ava : oh . still . there would be an investigation . and something tells me , paul , you have a few more secrets that you would n't want to be discovered -- secrets that might cause a scandal a lot worse than two consenting adults in bed together . i think your best option is to ride out our little sex scandal and let me get my daughter back . [ scene_break ] tracy : sabrina wo n't be coming back here tonight . dillon : what do you mean ? tracy : sabrina left with carlos when he was a wanted man . the police commissioner has stated publicly that she will have to answer for her crimes . i 'm assuming that the commissioner , as well as your father , were both at the nurses ' ball . dillon : yes , they were both there . tracy : well , it 's a pretty safe bet that she 's already in custody . dillon : why are you doing this ? i thought you and sabrina were friends . tracy : i thought so , too . was the ball still going on when you left ? dillon : no , it was just about over . tracy : well ... sabrina was probably apprehended on the way out .

[ scene_break ] sabrina : i knew what i did was wrong . as soon as i left the country with carlos , i was sorry . michael : hold on . look . once the baby was born , rivera held sabrina captive , okay ? in the end , she was his victim , too . jordan : i am sorry for what you 've gone through , sabrina , but that does n't change the fact that you helped carlos remain at large . i mean , for all we know , you could have given carlos a chance to kill again . so you think about that when you 're sitting in a jail cell waiting for your arraignment and your bail to be set . michael : look , i understand that sabrina has to be held accountable , all right . but do you have to take her into custody tonight ? she 's not a flight risk . her son is here in port charles . she has n't even had a chance to see him . sabrina : it 's been weeks . i just -- i miss him so much and i just want to hold him again . commissioner , please ? andré : excuse me . i 'm sorry . jordan , can i speak to you for a minute ? [ scene_break ] anna : um ... you should n't have heard that . i -- i did n't want to worry you . robin : well , is it true ? anna : the night that duke died , i realized that julian was behind it , you know ? i mean , carlos was the enforcer . he pulled the trigger . so , i tracked carlos to sabrina 's apartment . and she confirmed . he told her he killed duke . so i asked her to call him . he told her that he was down on pier 54 . so i went after him . i intended to take him into custody . robin : why did n't you do that ? anna : because he just came straight out and said that the charges would never stick . he would be released for lack of evidence . and he was right , you know ? robin : [ sighs ] anna : the case was slim against him . and then when i realized that ... the man who was really responsible for killing him , for killing duke , julian , was gon na get away with it , i do n't know . i just -- i snapped . i just snapped . all my training and my principles , they just went out the window . i shot him . i shot him four times . robin : how could he survive that ? anna : yeah . he set me up . yeah , he and this man kyle sloane . carlos was wearing , like , a bulletproof vest . he had blood capsules . robin : what ? anna : yeah . robin : i mean , what were they trying to accomplish ? anna : it does n't matter what their motives were . the end result was that for months , i believed that i had committed a murder . and that the man who was responsible for duke 's death was gon na get away with it , because of my actions . and that 's when i found out then that carlos was still alive . robin : and you and sonny tracked him in ecuador . anna : yeah . we did . we brought him back here . and i confessed , because honestly , i did n't care what happened to me as long as carlos testified against julian . robin : mom . why did n't you tell me any of this was going on ? anna : because i created this mess . i should be able to handle it . robin : okay , um , there is such a thing as being too independent . anna : i know . i was a disaster there for a while . but i 'm getting better now . robin : and the da said the charges against you have been dropped . anna : yeah . robin : thank god . you 've been punishing yourself enough . mom , come here . i think it 's time to start healing . [ scene_break ] sonny : ava and the da ? carly : mm - hmm . sonny : that 's how she escaped the charges in the arms deal . that son of a bitch was nailing her . carly : [ laughs ] gosh . i 'm assuming she kept it as insurance in case she ever wanted to blackmail him . sonny : and you used her own leverage against her . carly : that 's right . sonny : ahh ! carly : oh , speaking of which , i need a new phone . sonny : why ? carly : because ava destroyed mine trying to get her hands on the recording . then i showed her the flash drive . then she jumped me , and i fought back . sonny : ooh ! [ laughs ] must have been a thing of beauty . carly : well , we were in the metro court bathroom in the middle of the nurses ' ball , so i could n't kick her ass the way i wanted to . but i did get a few shots in before i let her think she won . sonny : why -- why 'd you give her the satisfaction ? carly : because i got to watch her face when i told her that i already uploaded the recording to the cloud . sonny : ahhh . carly : wait , wait . sonny : yeah . carly : it 's at my disposal whenever i want it . it is all the leverage we need to keep avery with us for good . what do you think ? sonny : what do i think ? have i ever told you how amazing you are ? carly : i could hear that again . sonny : have i ever told you how amazing you are ? carly : [ giggles ] [ scene_break ] ava : i do n't care if carly puts that video of us on national television . i do n't care if you lose your job . i do n't care about any of it . i am not gon na give into her demands just because you tell me to . paul : what are you talking about ? what does carly want ? ava : she wants to take avery from me . that 's what she wants . carly and sonny think that they can keep my daughter from me . well , they ca n't . i have custody . and sex tape or not , i 'm taking avery home . paul : well , what good is getting your child back if you go to prison for the rest of your life ? as i told you before , ava , you let that tape out , then i 'll give over the proof that you murdered connie . and as soon as i hand over your confession , you 'll be on trial for murder . ava : paul , you do n't want to do that . [ scene_break ] anna : i honestly do n't feel i can move on until i have some kind of justice , you know ? because the man who is really responsible for duke 's death -- julian jerome -- there 's nothing to tie him to the crime . he 's still alive . he 's well , he 's married , in a new house , raising his new son . duke never got to even meet his son . there 's never any punishment for julian , ever . there 's no guilt . i do n't think anything keeps him awake at night , but that 's going to change because somehow , one way or the other , i am going to bring him to trial . if it 's not for duke 's murder , then it will be for carlos ' . robin : mom . none of that will bring duke back . anna : i know that . but maybe if i have some closure , i can find some peace . robin : you know ... anna : [ sighs ] robin : you know that peace does not come from revenge . anna : yeah . robin : it comes from living the best life that you can live , a life that duke would have wanted for you . [ scene_break ] andré : i 'm sorry . i can see you 're involved in something serious . should i wait ? jordan : if you do n't mind . andré : no , i do n't mind at all . my job never really stops , either , and i 'd really love to end my night with you . jordan : i feel the same way . michael : look , if i have to , i 'll have a lawyer meet us at the pcpd , and i 'll try to make arrangements to get you released tonight . maybe the commissioner will let you go tonight , but think you can turn yourself in in the morning ? jordan : sabrina . i understand that you made arrangements for your child to be sent to the states , to the quartermaines ' . yes , i did . i did so that he 'd be safe . michael : my father and i found sabrina where carlos had imprisoned her . look , we brought her back tonight . and like i said , she has n't even seen her son . tracy and the baby were out when i got to the quartermaines ' , so i - i - i decided to come to the nurses ' ball because -- well , because i believe in everything that it represents . jordan : that 's an interesting choice for a known fugitive . i was planning on coming down to the police station tomorrow to talk to you . i knew that as soon as i got back to port charles , i was gon na be arrested . i was just hoping for one night , just one night with my baby . [ scene_break ] tracy : sabrina 's in port charles ? dillon : she showed up at the nurses ' ball at the very end , and i am sure that she 's very eager to see her son . tracy : really ? let 's see -- how eager could she really be if she went to a party instead of coming straight here ? dillon : well , you must have missed this . it 's a note from sabrina . i found it in the foyer . it says that she was waiting for you and the baby , and she 'll be back later .

oh , that has to be sam . she 's always been a gold digger . jason would n't care . monica : [ laughs ] well , first of all , tracy , you named your firstborn after edward . tracy : with good reason . i 'm his daughter , not a career criminal who turned his back on this family years ago and has done nothing but spill blood all over the quartermaine name . monica : okay , enough of the dramatics . the baby 's name is daniel edward . tracy : so why did n't you say that in the first place ? monica : and speaking of blood , when did you decide to play doctor ? tracy : what ? monica : you were in my medical bag , and you certainly did n't put it back the way you found it . tracy : oh . did n't i tell you ? i , uh ... pulled a bullet out of joseph 's shoulder a few weeks ago . monica : wha ? duke : goodbye , mr. morgan . joe jr. : [ grunts , gasps ] duke : oh , scully , scully , scully . what in the world am i going to do with you ? luke : what was i thinking ? duke died before dna profiling . anna : he did n't die . he 's alive , and you yanked his hair out for nothing . luke : well , i got to say , the man 's pain tolerance is that of a gnat . anna : [ scoffs ] my point is that you really need to give up this idea that you 're gon na prove duke is an imposter . luke : not necessarily . sam : jason ... let me know that he really loves this baby , and he wants to be his father . so when he asked me to come home with him that day , i -- i said yes . we belong together . we are a family . mcbain : i 'm happy for you . sam : you are a really good man , john . you helped my son and i through everything . i do n't want to leave things unresolved between us . i mean , i know you and i , we have -- mcbain : we do n't need to talk about you and i . sam : yes , i think we do . duke : you failed to kill kristina . to redeem you , i gave you this job . you could n't even dispatch a lowly accountant . joe jr. : i 'm sorry . duke : yeah . no murder is perfect , scully . there 's always evidence . it always leaves a trail . that 's why i delegate . well , you let me down . my hands are dirty . they might as well get dirtier .

lulu : i ca n't carry past the second trimester . dante : why did n't she tell us this before ? lulu : 'cause i guess it 's not something that you can find in a regular exam , and she did some tests , including an mri , and ... that 's when she saw what was wrong . dante : so when we thought you were -- you were pregnant before ... ? lulu : i might have been and just had a really , really early miscarriage . dante : all right . so what do we do now ? how do we fix this ? lulu : dr. v says that it 's not treatable . dante : what do you mean ?

monica : and speaking of blood , when did you decide to play doctor ? tracy : what ? monica : you were in my medical bag , and you certainly did n't put it back the way you found it . tracy : oh . did n't i tell you ?
