victor : he did n't say that . sharon : he did n't ? victor : no . sharon : victor , how did you handle this with nick ? what did you say ? victor : i told him it was my fault . sharon : you did what ?

victor : what do you think ? sharon : you told your son that you reached out to his wife ? that you were the one that kissed me ? victor : yeah . sharon : he must be furious . victor : i tried to explain the circumstances that i had taken some pain medication , forgot about that and then that i 'd had a drink or two . sharon : why , why , why did he have to be coming down here that day ? things would be completely different between nicholas and me . we 'd be back together if that had n't happened . he had the flowers , the gift and that beautiful note about us making a fresh start , how much he loved me . victor : you have to hold on to what it said in that note . he said that he loves you . that is what you have to remember . man : happy valentine 's day , everybody at the walnut grove academy ! what 's up ?

[ scene_break ] melanie : you are disgusting . i would never had sex with claude . trent : hey , you know , that innocent outrage act of yours does not work with me . and you know that meeting claude was never about sex . all he wanted to do was have a drink with you . melanie : yeah , that 's what you told me , but when claude showed up , it was pretty clear he was expecting more than just a drink . trent : how the hell was i supposed to know that ? melanie : so that 's how you 're gon na play . you had no idea what claude was really after . you 're either stupid , in denial , or you think i am a complete idiot , because you knew exactly what claude was after and you were expecting me to give it to him . why ca n't you be like every other dad ? all the girls at my school were so excited to go home for the holidays . but you never showed up , and you never asked me to go home . trent : well , maybe it you had concentrated more on school and gotten better grades , i would have shown more interest . but now you 're premier party girl . so i thought , `` what the hell ? `` as long as you 're gon na act like a whore , i might as well capitalize on it . no , no , no . melanie : i hate you . and i wish max would have killed you when he had the chance . but he did n't , so maybe i 'll just do it for him .

[ laughs ] changing your personality , right ? technology is amazing , is n't it ? yes . you know what pleases me ? that you like your new self better , huh ? as do i . makes you much more interesting . john : nothing like a little mutual blackmail to bring two brothers together . stefano : oh , no , no , no . i would n't go that far . john : come on , steffy . why do n't you make this easy and just give it up ? the empire is mine . no point in fighting it . stefano : but you see , brother , this is not a little fight anymore . this is a major war . [ scene_break ] melanie : you are disgusting . i would never had sex with claude . trent : hey , you know , that innocent outrage act of yours does not work with me . and you know that meeting claude was never about sex . all he wanted to do was have a drink with you . melanie : yeah , that 's what you told me , but when claude showed up , it was pretty clear he was expecting more than just a drink . trent : how the hell was i supposed to know that ? melanie : so that 's how you 're gon na play . you had no idea what claude was really after . you 're either stupid , in denial , or you think i am a complete idiot , because you knew exactly what claude was after and you were expecting me to give it to him . why ca n't you be like every other dad ? all the girls at my school were so excited to go home for the holidays . but you never showed up , and you never asked me to go home . trent : well , maybe it you had concentrated more on school and gotten better grades , i would have shown more interest . but now you 're premier party girl . so i thought , `` what the hell ? `` as long as you 're gon na act like a whore , i might as well capitalize on it . no , no , no . melanie : i hate you . and i wish max would have killed you when he had the chance . but he did n't , so maybe i 'll just do it for him .

[ scene_break ] starr : it 's not that i do n't want to be with james . i do . it 's just that i have to talk to cole about it first . it would n't be fair to him or anybody . langston : you do n't want to hurt him . i get that . starr : it 's more than that . and i know that you probably thought that we were going to break up before cole got arrested , but i do n't believe that . because i know that couples go through tough times and they stay together because they love each other so much that they know that it can be the way it used to be or that they could even find something better . langston : i 'm not saying it would n't be a loss . i mean , you and cole , you had something really great . but the reality is , starr , he 's in prison . starr : that 's what makes me feel so guilty .

chloe : yeah , honestly , i do n't know how i 'm supposed to feel about all this . i mean , it 's a new life , and lucas -- i know he 'll be a great dad to her , like he is to all his kids . it 's just that now ... kayla : he 's gon na be tied to bonnie . chloe : yeah , for life . kayla : is he gon na try to keep her out of jail ? chloe : i do n't know , but ... all i know is , when bonnie wants something , she usually finds a way to get it . bonnie : what kind of monster are you ? how could you even think of separating a mother from her child ? lucas : you were gon na separate the baby from her father . what 's the difference ? bonnie : i was on the run . lucas : yeah , 'cause you 're a convict , and you 're going back to prison , where you belong . bonnie : that does n't mean i do n't love my baby . lucas : i never said it didn't . but it does n't change the fact that i would be a better parent than you . it 's over . come on . bonnie : lucas , please , please , please , please . i spent ten years behind bars . i 'm begging you , please do n't make me go back . do n't separate me from my baby , please ! lucas : i 'm sorry , bonnie . i just ca n't help you , all right ? bonnie : fine . then if i ca n't be with my baby , neither can you . lucas : what are you talking about ? you ca n't stop me . you ca n't stop me , now that i have proof , now that i know i 'm the father . i guarantee i 'll get awarded custody . bonnie : oh , you wo n't be awarded anything . lucas : oh , really ? really ? bonnie : mm - hmm . mm - hmm . lucas : well , this conversation 's over . i 'm gon na go find my daughter . bonnie : except you do n't know where she is . lucas : what , she 's with sheila ? she ca n't be that hard to track down . i think i can manage that . bonnie : oh , you 're probably right . except sheila does n't have the baby . lucas : she what ? she what ? then who does ? with uncontrolled moderate - to - severe eczema , lani : i feel horrible about hurting eli . he 's such a good guy . abe : yeah . lani : one of the best . abe : ca n't argue with that . in fact , he just helped me out of a sticky situation earlier . lani : what kind of a sticky situation ? abe : well , let 's just say ... i owe him one . eli : so then lani asked me -- sheila : please say she did not ask to be friends . eli : yeah , i 'm afraid so . sheila : man , that sucks . i am so sorry . i mean , i 'm even offended for you . eli : you know , you 'd be a lot more convincing if you put that damn burger down . sheila : you know , i can do two things at once . but seriously , forget lani . if she ca n't see what a catch you are , she ai n't worth it . uh - uh , get your own , honey . these are mine ! i am hungry ! okay ? eli : damn . lucas : where is my daughter , bonnie ? bonnie : you know , i had a feeling you might do something like this . no , i really thought you were a stand - up guy . but you know what ? turns out you 're the same sleazoid who could n't tell the difference between his girlfriend and a complete stranger . lucas : i 'm done playing games with you . where is she ? bonnie : do n't you worry . my baby bon - bon is tucked away nice and safe , where you ca n't find her . lucas : where is my daughter ? bonnie : oh , i 'll tell you ... after you help me avoid prison . until then , baby bon - bon has left the building . kate : so you 're planning on making a move on chad while his wife 's in a mental institution ? gabi : is there a better time ? i mean , especially if i 'm gon na be there next to him when he finds out he 's the real baby daddy ? i mean , he 's gon na be so happy , so grateful , he 's gon na practically fall into my bed . kate : what ? i thought that you were over him . gabi : i am . i am , but i mean , i 'm always gon na care about him , always . but this is n't -- this is n't about what i 'm gon na get out of this . this is about what i 'm taking away from abigail , okay ? her child , her husband , her freedom . what ? why are you looking at me all judgy ? kate : well , do n't you think that this is just a little bit drastic ? gabi : look , i already tried something else , and it did not work . and this way , chad still finds out that he 's the father at some point , right ? i mean , that 'll ease your conscience . kate : no , or ease your conscience -- what you have left of it . gabi : kate , can i please count on you to not tell chad the truth about this ? kate : [ sighs ] oh , god . gabi : the wheels , they 're already set in motion , okay ?

chloe : i do n't know , but ... all i know is , when bonnie wants something , she usually finds a way to get it . bonnie : what kind of monster are you ? how could you even think of separating a mother from her child ? lucas : you were gon na separate the baby from her father . what 's the difference ? bonnie : i was on the run . lucas : yeah , 'cause you 're a convict , and you 're going back to prison , where you belong . bonnie : that does n't mean i do n't love my baby . lucas : i never said it didn't . but it does n't change the fact that i would be a better parent than you . it 's over . come on . bonnie : lucas , please , please , please , please . i spent ten years behind bars . i 'm begging you , please do n't make me go back . do n't separate me from my baby , please ! lucas : i 'm sorry , bonnie . i just ca n't help you , all right ?

she ca n't be that hard to track down . i think i can manage that . bonnie : oh , you 're probably right . except sheila does n't have the baby . lucas : she what ? she what ? then who does ? with uncontrolled moderate - to - severe eczema , lani : i feel horrible about hurting eli . he 's such a good guy . abe : yeah . lani : one of the best . abe : ca n't argue with that . in fact , he just helped me out of a sticky situation earlier . lani : what kind of a sticky situation ? abe : well , let 's just say ... i owe him one . eli : so then lani asked me -- sheila : please say she did not ask to be friends . eli : yeah , i 'm afraid so . sheila : man , that sucks . i am so sorry . i mean , i 'm even offended for you . eli : you know , you 'd be a lot more convincing if you put that damn burger down . sheila : you know , i can do two things at once . but seriously , forget lani . if she ca n't see what a catch you are , she ai n't worth it . uh - uh , get your own , honey . these are mine ! i am hungry ! okay ? eli : damn . lucas : where is my daughter , bonnie ? bonnie : you know , i had a feeling you might do something like this . no , i really thought you were a stand - up guy . but you know what ? turns out you 're the same sleazoid who could n't tell the difference between his girlfriend and a complete stranger . lucas : i 'm done playing games with you . where is she ?

gabi : is there a better time ? i mean , especially if i 'm gon na be there next to him when he finds out he 's the real baby daddy ? i mean , he 's gon na be so happy , so grateful , he 's gon na practically fall into my bed . kate : what ? i thought that you were over him . gabi : i am . i am , but i mean , i 'm always gon na care about him , always . but this is n't -- this is n't about what i 'm gon na get out of this . this is about what i 'm taking away from abigail , okay ? her child , her husband , her freedom . what ? why are you looking at me all judgy ? kate : well , do n't you think that this is just a little bit drastic ? gabi : look , i already tried something else , and it did not work . and this way , chad still finds out that he 's the father at some point , right ? i mean , that 'll ease your conscience . kate : no , or ease your conscience -- what you have left of it . gabi : kate , can i please count on you to not tell chad the truth about this ? kate : [ sighs ] oh , god . gabi : the wheels , they 're already set in motion , okay ?

[ scene_break ] daniel : o - o - okay , okay . you know , i get that you 're upset -- really , i do . i get that , but i just want you to think about what you 're saying here , because how can i share custody with parker and not have any contact with chloe ? that 's -- jennifer : oh , i know , but i was just thinking , you 're gon na have a nanny , right ? so you would have different jobs , different residences , so maybe the nanny could just act as an intermediary , and victor and maggie -- they could just help mediate . daniel : oh , yeah , yeah , yeah , chloe 's gon na love being mediated by my mother and a man who loathes her . jennifer , com -- okay , you know what ? think about this . think about this . suppose things turned out differently . how would you feel if i told you that , `` you know what ? you ca n't have any contact with jack . `` jennifer : daniel , that is not even the same situation . come on . daniel : listen , we are talking about the mother of my son . look , look , look at me . look , i know she is way , way out of line here , all right ? i get that . and -- but i think this is just a huge overreaction . i do . jennifer : okay . and i - i do . i understand why you think that . daniel : okay . jennifer : but you are wrong .

[ scene_break ] daniel : jenn -- okay , jennifer . what -- did she threaten you in some way ? jennifer : no , daniel , she did n't . she 's just doing the same things that she did before . she keeps talking about your bond with parker . she 's giving me details about things that i really do n't want to know about . so she 's not threatening me . it 's just really tiring . and she brought up something else . [ laughs ] daniel : what ? go ahead . say it . jennifer : i was just asking her why she was spending so much energy to try to get back this man that does n't want her , and she got so defensive . so , whatever it is you 're saying to her , it 's not penetrating . okay , you move out of your apartment , and she still believes that you 're going to get back together . you talk to her on the phone about who 's gon na pick parker up , and she believes that -- that you still love her . so dealing with her right now is like sitting down and having drinks with an alcoholic , because you stop , and she does n't stop . daniel : okay , jenn , look , i want you to stop . jennifer : what ? i -- daniel : just stop it . jennifer : daniel , i -- daniel : i 'm sorry . i know what she 's putting you through , and i 'm sorry about it . but i promise you , she is not gon na get to me . jennifer : [ scoffs ] daniel : all right , and eventually that will sink in . listen , you need to trust me . jennifer : i do . daniel : do you ? jennifer : i trust you , yes . i 'm not worried about the two of you getting back together , but i am scared that she is not going to give up . so , if you do n't set boundaries , she is just gon na keep chipping away and chipping away at what we have till we have nothing left . and i ca n't do that . i will not go through that again .

[ laughs ] daniel : what ? go ahead . say it . jennifer : i was just asking her why she was spending so much energy to try to get back this man that does n't want her , and she got so defensive . so , whatever it is you 're saying to her , it 's not penetrating . okay , you move out of your apartment , and she still believes that you 're going to get back together . you talk to her on the phone about who 's gon na pick parker up , and she believes that -- that you still love her . so dealing with her right now is like sitting down and having drinks with an alcoholic , because you stop , and she does n't stop . daniel : okay , jenn , look , i want you to stop . jennifer : what ? i -- daniel : just stop it . jennifer : daniel , i -- daniel : i 'm sorry . i know what she 's putting you through , and i 'm sorry about it . but i promise you , she is not gon na get to me . jennifer : [ scoffs ] daniel : all right , and eventually that will sink in . listen , you need to trust me . jennifer : i do . daniel : do you ? jennifer : i trust you , yes . i 'm not worried about the two of you getting back together , but i am scared that she is not going to give up . so , if you do n't set boundaries , she is just gon na keep chipping away and chipping away at what we have till we have nothing left . and i ca n't do that . i will not go through that again .

[ scene_break ] brad : before you get mad , let me explain . katie : i 'm already mad . at you ! dusty : me ? katie : yeah , for getting brad all riled up against my brother . dusty : no , craig did that , when he used brad to blackmail you . katie : you had no right to butt in . why do n't you just leave us alone ? brad : can we -- jack : sure . dusty : what happens now ? jack : we 'll take their statements and get a warrant for craig 's arrest . dusty : how long will that take ? jack : probably most of the day . if you 're worried about johnny -- dusty : no , johnny 's going to be home with me by the time you put the cuffs on craig . i got to go . i 'll be in touch . katie : i thought we were getting somewhere this morning . that you were going to let me decide how , when and what to do . brad : i do n't understand , what is there to decide ? craig tried to kill paul ryan . katie : you do n't know that for sure . nobody does . and you and dusty had no right to appoint yourselves judge and jury . brad : i know that you 're afraid . but you do n't have to be . i told jack everything , he says you would n't be in trouble . katie : i do n't care about that . i care about us . and we 're in trouble , brad . if you do this , if you give in to this obsession with getting back at craig -- margo : hey , katie , i 'm glad you decided to come in . you 're doing the right thing . so , it looks like you guys are on the same page . should we just take the statements together ? brad : yes , i would love that . margo : okay , great . sit down , have a seat . [ scene_break ] dusty : hey . tom : no , sit , sit . more problems with craig , huh ? dusty : no , more like a solution . remember that case against him for trying to blow up paul 's car ? tom : the attempted murder charge ? yeah , that was dropped . dusty : not anymore . thanks to me . tom : how 'd you manage to do that ? dusty : i 'll fill you in , but first , confirm this . if he goes to jail , he loses all visitation , correct ? tom : probably . attempted murder is a serious charge . and it 's not like johnny spent years with craig . dusty : no , he barely knows him . tom : that 's true . so a judge probably wo n't force you to take johnny for visitation at the prison . by the time craig 's out , johnny would probably be old enough to make his own decisions . dusty : good . that 's good . tom : okay , hold it . i think you 're going about this all the wrong way . you 're spending so much time worrying about craig , that you 're actually losing valuable quality time with johnny yourself . dusty : i want craig out of the picture once and for all . tom : is this fight about johnny , or your anger with craig ? dusty : of course , it 's about johnny , tom . it 's about what i promised his mother . his mother did n't want craig in johnny 's life . she wanted me to give johnny a good home and a good life . tom : and you 're going to achieve this by teaching him to hate craig ? dusty : i 'm not doing that . tom : yeah , dusty . that 's what you 're doing . i mean , it does n't really matter what you say . your actions will prove to johnny that you hate craig . and he , in turn , will hate him to please you . now in the end , when he grows up and understands what you 've cost him , he 's going to hate you . [ scene_break ] brad : and that is when katie told me that craig set me up . jack : he faked spencer 's murder ? brad : he had all this evidence against me . i thought i was going to spend the rest of my life in jail for something that i did not do . jack : then he offered to make it all go away ? margo : katie ? brad : craig told that katie he would get me off if she 'd be his alibi . margo : katie , is that true ? brad : katie , it 's all right . you can tell the truth . nothing 's going to happen . jack : maybe we need to go at this from a different angle . margo : katie , honey , why do n't you just forget about what craig did or did n't do to you , and just tell me what he said ? katie : about what ? margo : about paul ryan . did craig ever tell you that he rigged the bomb that was in paul ryan 's car ? katie : you know , i 'm a little thirsty . margo : katie -- katie : no , i 'm not stalling . i will tell you everything . margo : all right , i will get you a glass of water . oh , what are you two doing here ? dusty : katie 's giving her statement ? margo : you know i ca n't comment on an ongoing investigation . tom : can you give us a minute ? dusty : yeah . tom : how are you doing ? margo : i can not believe that craig would do something like this , and drag katie into it ! tom : so , tell me how i can help . margo : you can get your client out of here , for one thing . i have n't got the statement from katie yet . and if she sees donovan lurching like a vulture -- craig : hey , johnny , look who 's here ! your aunts , your uncles and your other daddy . katie : hey ! johnny : hi , aunt katie ! katie : what you been up to ? johnny : i saw the trains ! katie : he did ? cool , come tell me about it . dusty : why 'd you bring him here ? craig : well , margo informed me that katie might need my assistance . and since katie adores johnny and obviously the feeling 's mutual , so -- dusty : you were using my son to keep katie quiet . you think i should cut this guy a break , tom ? tom : no , i think we 'd be better served if we left and let the police handle this . dusty : you 're using him ! he 's five years old , craig . craig : i know how old he is . he 's my son ! dusty : we 'll see . tom : do n't do this . your son 's in the next room . craig : tom , you make a very good point . this really is n't the time or the place . and since i have no idea how long i 'll be here -- dusty : 15 to 20 sounds fine . craig : and i had no idea you 'd be here , either . but since you are , if you 'd like to take johnny home with you , i think that would probably be best . dusty : i do n't need your permission . craig : we 'll see . something you 'd like to say to me , jack ? jack : maybe later . when i read you your rights . craig : johnny ? i want you to know , i had a great time with you today . will you remember that ? i love you . margo : ah , johnny , johnny , johnny . you want to go wait outside with your dad ? can you guys give us a minute ? i want to finish up with katie . katie : i 'm done . margo : oh , come on , katie . katie : no , i 'm sorry . i ca n't do this . i just -- i ca n't . brad : katie ! tom : what just happened ? craig : it appears katie did n't have as much to say as we all anticipated . dusty : well , even if katie does n't want to talk , what about brad 's statement ? she told him everything that craig did . tom : no , that 's hearsay . it wo n't stand up in court . margo : hey , why do n't we get johnny out of here ? this is no place for a little boy to be . a little boy that i love so much . craig : give me one for the road . oh , my gosh , you 're such a big guy . see you soon , okay ? dusty : come on , let 's go . margo : so , you came in to tell the truth , right ? to get katie off the hook ? craig : well , from what i heard , does n't seem that katie needs getting off the hook . so , i guess we 're both just sticking to our stories -- whether you like it or not . i love family gatherings . let 's do it again soon . but next time , let me pick the place .

[ margo sighs ] margo : oh , katie . right , right . katie : all right , so , what if one of these friends felt like they had to lie to the police because they were worried that something might happen to someone they cared about if they did n't ? would that be a crime ? margo : you mean , like if you gave craig an alibi because he was threatening you or brad ? just hypothetically ? katie : something like that . margo : well , you would probably get off , but craig would most certainly go to jail . katie : okay . margo : okay , so you want to make a statement ? katie : yes . margo : great . i 'll get a box for this bribe . katie : except for one thing . margo : what -- what thing ? katie : the part where i tell you something that gets our brother thrown into jail . [ scene_break ] brad : yo , bro , we need to talk . jack : yo , bro , i 'm working here . dusty : you 're going to want to hear this . jack : make it fast . brad : all right . say someone was framed . and the person that framed him said they could get them off if someone close to them could provide them with an alibi for something they did a long time ago . what would happen to the person that lied ? but just because they were trying to help the other person ? dusty : what was that ? how 's he supposed to know what you 're talking about ? jack : tell me this is about craig montgomery . he really did plant that car bomb . and you 're worried about katie being arrested because she lied about his alibi . brad : no , no . i did n't say anything about katie . i was n't talking about her -- jack : you did n't have to . but it 's all right . we 're not on record here , but you will be . brad : okay , wait . what about katie ? jack : do n't worry about her . she lied , yes . but that does n't necessarily mean she 'll be in trouble . dusty : but craig would be . jack : oh , oh yeah . [ scene_break ] katie : do n't you feel anything for our brother ? margo : of course i do . but he -- but he tried to murder paul ryan ! he put a bomb in the guy 's car . do you really think he should n't do time for that ? katie : we do n't know for sure that craig did it . margo : if he did n't do it , he would n't need you to lie for him , would he ? katie : but he just got johnny back , though . and he wants to be a better person . we 're his family . how can we take that away from him ? margo : no , no , no . do n't get all sentimental with the family stuff . look at lucy . she 's his daughter . he did n't think twice about turning her in for kidnapping johnny , did he ? katie : it 's just that if we put him away for the rest of his life , we 're not just punishing craig -- what will it do to johnny ? margo : katie ! we 're gon na let him get away with attempted murder ? with framing brad , with blackmailing you -- what kind of father are we offering johnny , huh ? katie : somebody who 's learned from his mistakes .

[ scene_break ] brad : before you get mad , let me explain . katie : i 'm already mad . at you ! dusty : me ? katie : yeah , for getting brad all riled up against my brother . dusty : no , craig did that , when he used brad to blackmail you . katie : you had no right to butt in . why do n't you just leave us alone ? brad : can we -- jack : sure . dusty : what happens now ? jack : we 'll take their statements and get a warrant for craig 's arrest . dusty : how long will that take ? jack : probably most of the day . if you 're worried about johnny -- dusty : no , johnny 's going to be home with me by the time you put the cuffs on craig . i got to go . i 'll be in touch . katie : i thought we were getting somewhere this morning . that you were going to let me decide how , when and what to do . brad : i do n't understand , what is there to decide ? craig tried to kill paul ryan . katie : you do n't know that for sure . nobody does . and you and dusty had no right to appoint yourselves judge and jury . brad : i know that you 're afraid . but you do n't have to be . i told jack everything , he says you would n't be in trouble . katie : i do n't care about that . i care about us . and we 're in trouble , brad . if you do this , if you give in to this obsession with getting back at craig -- margo : hey , katie , i 'm glad you decided to come in . you 're doing the right thing . so , it looks like you guys are on the same page . should we just take the statements together ? brad : yes , i would love that . margo : okay , great . sit down , have a seat . [ scene_break ] dusty : hey . tom : no , sit , sit . more problems with craig , huh ? dusty : no , more like a solution . remember that case against him for trying to blow up paul 's car ? tom : the attempted murder charge ? yeah , that was dropped . dusty : not anymore . thanks to me . tom : how 'd you manage to do that ? dusty : i 'll fill you in , but first , confirm this . if he goes to jail , he loses all visitation , correct ? tom : probably . attempted murder is a serious charge . and it 's not like johnny spent years with craig . dusty : no , he barely knows him . tom : that 's true . so a judge probably wo n't force you to take johnny for visitation at the prison . by the time craig 's out , johnny would probably be old enough to make his own decisions . dusty : good . that 's good . tom : okay , hold it . i think you 're going about this all the wrong way . you 're spending so much time worrying about craig , that you 're actually losing valuable quality time with johnny yourself . dusty : i want craig out of the picture once and for all . tom : is this fight about johnny , or your anger with craig ? dusty : of course , it 's about johnny , tom . it 's about what i promised his mother . his mother did n't want craig in johnny 's life . she wanted me to give johnny a good home and a good life . tom : and you 're going to achieve this by teaching him to hate craig ? dusty : i 'm not doing that . tom : yeah , dusty . that 's what you 're doing . i mean , it does n't really matter what you say . your actions will prove to johnny that you hate craig . and he , in turn , will hate him to please you . now in the end , when he grows up and understands what you 've cost him , he 's going to hate you . [ scene_break ] brad : and that is when katie told me that craig set me up . jack : he faked spencer 's murder ? brad : he had all this evidence against me . i thought i was going to spend the rest of my life in jail for something that i did not do . jack : then he offered to make it all go away ? margo : katie ? brad : craig told that katie he would get me off if she 'd be his alibi . margo : katie , is that true ? brad : katie , it 's all right . you can tell the truth . nothing 's going to happen . jack : maybe we need to go at this from a different angle . margo : katie , honey , why do n't you just forget about what craig did or did n't do to you , and just tell me what he said ? katie : about what ? margo : about paul ryan . did craig ever tell you that he rigged the bomb that was in paul ryan 's car ? katie : you know , i 'm a little thirsty . margo : katie -- katie : no , i 'm not stalling . i will tell you everything . margo : all right , i will get you a glass of water . oh , what are you two doing here ? dusty : katie 's giving her statement ? margo : you know i ca n't comment on an ongoing investigation . tom : can you give us a minute ? dusty : yeah . tom : how are you doing ? margo : i can not believe that craig would do something like this , and drag katie into it ! tom : so , tell me how i can help . margo : you can get your client out of here , for one thing . i have n't got the statement from katie yet . and if she sees donovan lurching like a vulture -- craig : hey , johnny , look who 's here ! your aunts , your uncles and your other daddy . katie : hey ! johnny : hi , aunt katie ! katie : what you been up to ? johnny : i saw the trains ! katie : he did ? cool , come tell me about it . dusty : why 'd you bring him here ? craig : well , margo informed me that katie might need my assistance . and since katie adores johnny and obviously the feeling 's mutual , so -- dusty : you were using my son to keep katie quiet . you think i should cut this guy a break , tom ? tom : no , i think we 'd be better served if we left and let the police handle this . dusty : you 're using him ! he 's five years old , craig . craig : i know how old he is . he 's my son ! dusty : we 'll see . tom : do n't do this . your son 's in the next room . craig : tom , you make a very good point . this really is n't the time or the place . and since i have no idea how long i 'll be here -- dusty : 15 to 20 sounds fine . craig : and i had no idea you 'd be here , either . but since you are , if you 'd like to take johnny home with you , i think that would probably be best . dusty : i do n't need your permission . craig : we 'll see . something you 'd like to say to me , jack ? jack : maybe later . when i read you your rights . craig : johnny ? i want you to know , i had a great time with you today . will you remember that ? i love you . margo : ah , johnny , johnny , johnny . you want to go wait outside with your dad ? can you guys give us a minute ? i want to finish up with katie . katie : i 'm done . margo : oh , come on , katie . katie : no , i 'm sorry . i ca n't do this . i just -- i ca n't . brad : katie ! tom : what just happened ? craig : it appears katie did n't have as much to say as we all anticipated . dusty : well , even if katie does n't want to talk , what about brad 's statement ? she told him everything that craig did . tom : no , that 's hearsay . it wo n't stand up in court . margo : hey , why do n't we get johnny out of here ? this is no place for a little boy to be . a little boy that i love so much . craig : give me one for the road . oh , my gosh , you 're such a big guy . see you soon , okay ? dusty : come on , let 's go . margo : so , you came in to tell the truth , right ? to get katie off the hook ? craig : well , from what i heard , does n't seem that katie needs getting off the hook . so , i guess we 're both just sticking to our stories -- whether you like it or not . i love family gatherings . let 's do it again soon . but next time , let me pick the place .

[ scene_break ] sami : you could not be more wrong , adrienne . i do n't argue with people when they say how much i 've screwed up my life , but the one thing i got right is will . he is a good , kind , decent young man and anybody would be lucky to be in a relationship with him . she is dead right . adrienne : i ca n't believe you 're defending her after what she did to lucas . kate : what ? that had nothing to do with will . adrienne : he grew up watching them go back and forth and sami flitting from one man to another . sami : so this is about me ? adrienne : no , it 's about your influence in your son 's life . kate : sami was a good mother to will ! and you should count your lucky stars that your son had the good fortune to fall for someone who has the incredible qualities that will has ! sami : you 're absolutely right , kate , and you 're wrong . if you ruin this for sonny , he is the one who 's gon na lose out on a great guy . adrienne : look , sonny has a mind of his own . i do not control or interfere in my son 's love life . sami : she just said that with a straight face . kate : really , after she already tried to break them up . adrienne : i was talking to my husband in what i thought was a private conversation . now i do n't know how or why will felt the need to listen in , but then again , considering the influences in his life , it 's you two . kate : oh , i do not think you wan na go there , adrienne . adrienne : oh , i 'm sure you do n't . sami just admitted her mistakes , but i 'm sure you 're not willing to admit yours . kate : [ scoffs ] adrienne : it 's amazing that will turned out as good as he did . sami : okay , stop . you stop right there . kate : you have absolutely no right to weigh will down with our baggage . adrienne : really ? so his recent mistakes had nothing to do with the two of you ? sami : oh , my god , get this through your thick skull . this issue is not about us . adrienne : well , i hope you 're right , sami . i really do . because sonny and will might actually end up together . but i think in the long run i 'm gon na be the one who 's right , that your son is gon na end up doing something to break my son 's heart . sami : well , will is not like that . you are dead wrong about him . [ scoffs ] i swear -- [ scene_break ] abigail : [ sighs ] [ door closes ] abigail : so , uh , since the wedding 's in fall , i was thinking -- melanie : no , no . we 're not dodging this . you almost just fell apart . abigail : we broke up , mel . you know that . can we please just talk about flowers and vows and dresses -- melanie : no . no . no , spill .

[ scene_break ] abigail : so between all the stuff with my mom since my dad died and cameron breaking up with me , i -- melanie : feel really lost ? i 'm sorry . abigail : i guess i 'm just not ready for a relationship . maybe i 'm too -- i do n't know , too insecure or too -- too something . melanie : no , this goes both ways . it 's like a two - way street , right ? i mean , if you guys are n't in the same place emotionally ... i 've been there . [ scene_break ] gabi : chad , this is not all on me , all right ? if you -- if you would have noticed me , noticed how i felt -- you know what ? you could have told me , `` gabi , this is never gon na happen for us , i am never gon na be able to love you , `` then maybe -- maybe none of this would have ever happened to melanie . chad : there 's no way in hell i 'm gon na let him hurt you again . [ scene_break ] nick : i could n't just let chad hassle gabi like that , mrs. brady . caroline : so you like prison ? nick : i was doing what i thought was right . caroline : yeah , i know , and you were right . but you 're on parole . so if you sneeze wrong , someone could report you . next time it happens , you come to me . gabi : she 's right , nick . nick : you 've been really generous with me , mrs. brady , and , um , i hear you . caroline : well , i hope you feel the same way when i dock your paycheck for the broken dishes . i found the pieces in the trash . nick : sorry . i 'll -- uh , i 'll be more careful . caroline : about everything . okay ? gabi : nick , you 're already on her hit list . i mean , why did you take the blame for that ? you know it was my fault . [ scene_break ] sami : thanks . kate : for what ? speaking the truth ? sami : you said i was a good mother . kate : mostly . what is it with her , anyway ? why does she have it in for will ? sami : well , you heard her . it 's because of us . poor will is guilty by association . kate : well , your son is the one subject that we agree on . sami : refreshing . kate : but you need to remember something . this does n't change the way i feel about you . sami : oh , really ? that 's breaking my heart . 'cause you know i 'm such a huge fan of yours . kate : my focus is to bury you , sami . sami : bury ? do you mean literally ? are you stealing vivian 's ideas now ? kate : okay , in business , all right ? business . sami : whew ! for a second there i thought you were gon na offer me an apple . kate : you know , you can make light of it , but it 's not a joke . i will take you down .

[ scene_break ] dante : why lie , man ? you got an ex named claudette . who cares ? everyone 's got a past . maxie finds a glove in your tux , you just come clean with her . nathan : i do n't know . we were in a hurry , all right ? we were in a hurry to get to that damn wedding , and i did n't want to stop everything to get into a big drawn - out explanation . dante : but you explained that you had a dog named claudette . nathan : i was on pain pills , okay ? i was n't , like , making rational decisions . dante : okay , but you 're telling me i got to go talk to lulu . you got to go do the same with maxie . nathan : yeah , i do n't think it 's gon na be that easy . dante : but carrying on a lie is ? look what happened to me and lulu when we were n't being honest with each other . do n't let the same thing happen to you and maxie . nathan : all right . well , if i 'm gon na come clean to maxie about my past , you got to do the same to lulu about your divorce . all right ? talk to your wife . dante : [ sighs ] [ scene_break ] julian : you 've been working with the feds this entire time ? ava : yes . julian : well , why did n't you tell me ? did you think i was gon na ... what ? betray you ? ava : no . no . never . it 's just , julian , you 've spent the better part of last year trying to convince everybody that you 're out of the business , especially your beautiful bride . i assumed the less you knew , the better . i think that still applies . julian : yeah . valid points . valid points . but listen . there is still a much bigger issue that you 're not addressing here . ava : which is what ? julian : raj and dixon work for some very dangerous people . if they find out that you 've been working with the feds this entire time , they 're not gon na hesitate to come after you . ava : you know what ? if it meant that my daughter would live , i 'd stand outside with a white flag and wave it around till they found me . julian : okay , you keep missing the point . these are very , very serious people . ava : well , tell me something , julian . how does an honest businessman like yourself know so much about dixon and raj and the serious people they work for ?

sonny : in the hospital , where there 's professionals who can take care of you , who can get you back to good health . morgan : you can do that . you can do that . you could save me . sonny : no , i ca n't . morgan : why do you want -- want to dump me in a hospital ? sonny : i 'm not dumping you , son . morgan : yeah , you are . sonny : no , i 'm not . i 'm just facing reality . i 'm seeing what you 're going through . morgan : mom , mom , mom , you do n't agree with dad , right ?

because you 're my lawyer ? and you win all the time . you can do that , right ? diane : listen . your parents and dr. maddox have an excellent case for committing you . i doubt there is a lawyer anywhere who could argue successfully against it , except for me . morgan : great ! great ! so you 'll do it , then ? please . diane : no . no . i 've watched you grow up . i 've known you since you were a little boy , and i know how much this family loves you , and so does max , and so do i , and i can not in good conscience argue for your release when you 're a danger to yourself . i truly think this is the best course . morgan : [ sniffles ] [ voice breaking ] no . no , no , no . please . please ! no , dad . dad , do n't lock me up . please . please do n't do that . please . please ! i made a mistake . please . please ! i 'll get better . just give me another chance . please ! andré : morgan , it 's going to be okay . i 've arranged to have you admitted to the freedman clinic . morgan : you son of a bitch ! you son of a bitch ! you 've been plotting against me this whole time ! andré : morgan , it 's a good facility . i 'll be there -- morgan : you go to hell ! andré : i 'll be there to help you get settled in . morgan : you hear me ?

[ scoffs ] because of the danger . and now , you know , we get a little bit of distance , okay ? [ sighs , sniffles ] sonny : that 's morgan . what about you ? carly : what do you mean ? sonny : the gun shipment , the lying ... morgan in a mental hospital , and everything that you 've been through . we really have n't had the discussion , have we ? what happens next ? you gon na leave me ? [ next_on ] lulu ( to dante ) : i have to say this to you , once and for all . sam ( to baxter ) : i think it 's best if i 'm honest with you . nikolas ( to hayden ) : since when did you become so attached to tracy quartermaine ? tracy ( to monica , dr. mayes , & griffin ) : why do n't you just give me the mri results , so i can get out of here ? carly ( to sonny ) : you do n't want to ask me that question tonight . | sonny and carly conclude that maybe the best option for morgan is to have him committed to a psychiatric facility , realizing he can not be trusted to take his meds , they can not watch over him if he 's free , he may be a danger to himself and others and he 's facing serious legal charges . maddox agrees . diane is ready to represent him but concludes even if she can win the case for him , she can not do it in good conscience knowing the condition he is in . yet he urges them to , at the very least , let him see kiki before he gets taken away . she is still in icu , comatose and hooked up to machines without any answer about what will happen to her . outside her room , ava talks to julian and informs him just how her daughter got shot . hearing that , he is angry and tells morgan he wo n't let him near his niece . yet ava admits that although she does not want it either , she knows her daughter loves morgan and maybe , for all they know , he can reach her somehow . morgan goes into kiki 's room and talks to her . she does not awaken and he leaves with maddox . however , as soon as she 's alone in her room , for the first time , she moves her hand , opens her eyes and says : `` morgan `` . dante and lulu are both very upset and depressed yet hopeless that they can save their marriage . they both get served with divorce decree and declare their marriage is over . however , nathan wants to encourage dante , as maxie wants to encourage lulu , not to give up and get back what they had . in the course of both respective conversations , dante and lulu both find out that nathan deceived maxie about his history with `` claudette `` . dante urges his partner to come clean to maxie , realizing the truth is better than lies , as they know all too well he and lulu had to find out the hard way . lulu urges maxie to trust nathan . yet the secret never gets revealed when maxie assures nathan she trusts him and does not require an explanation . | <s>[INST] sonny : i do n't want to discuss this right now . carly : neither do i , but we do n't have a choice . morgan 's our son . we have to discuss having him committed for psychiatric treatment . sonny : well , that 's not gon na happen ! we 're gon na take care of morgan right here in our house , carly . carly : he ca n't come home , sonny . not after what happened on the pier . not after him trying to kill himself . sonny : he 's getting better ! we just got to get him better treatment . that 's all . carly : we ca n't give morgan the help that he needs , sonny . we ca n't ! he needs to be in a medical facility . that 's how we can save his life . and if you ca n't see that , then ... you 're in the worst kind of denial there is . [ scene_break ] maxie : you really do look good for somebody who just got out of the hospital . lulu : i owe my glow to hypothermia . maxie : oh . i think i 'll stick to moisturizers . now , on to the reason we are here . we have a lot to celebrate . lulu : yeah . maxie : like you 're alive . lulu : i am alive .

[ scene_break ] sonny : i know what morgan 's going through . i 've been there . i 'm living with it every day of my life . you know that , carly , right ? carly : you found a way to manage your bipolar disorder . morgan is n't there yet . sonny , he needs to be in a safe environment where he can be monitored and treated . sonny : he 's back on his medication . we just got to watch him closely . carly : like we 've been doing for a couple months , where he 's been resentful and he guilts us ? come on , sonny , let 's say he comes back home , and he goes off his meds again , and someone gets hurt , or he tries kill himself ! sonny : he wo n't . carly : you do n't know that ! you do n't know that . is n't it better to help him now than to risk it ? sonny : i was never committed , carly . neither is my son gon na be ! carly : you 're not morgan ! and clearly what works for you is n't working for him . sonny , he needs more help than we can give him . sonny : and that 's help ? it kills me to think of my son locked in a room ... [ voice breaking ] with four walls closing in . it 's gon na suck the soul right out of our boy . [ scene_break ] dante : when lulu was released from the hospital , i asked her to come home with me , thinking that being that close to death would 've changed something for her , but she and rocco are gon na stay at wyndemere . nathan : i guess it makes sense . you know , i mean , if lulu moved back in before you guys got everything resolved , that might lead to problems down the line , right ? dante : well , look , i know we have trust issues we got to work through , and stuff that came up before dillon or valerie . nathan : but i thought you were working on them , though . i mean , that 's what that whole forced - isolation exercise over valentine 's day was about , right ? you making progress ? dante : yeah , we were -- i thought we were , and we agreed to try and heal our marriage , but these show up in the mail , and i think maybe lulu 's having second thoughts . [ scene_break ] maxie : this is all yours . clearly , the post office is having a hard time keeping up with your new address . you back at the loft with dante ? lulu : no . rocco and i are out at wyndemere . maxie : lulu , i know you still love him . i know that he really hurt you , and that is hard to get over , but that same man saved your life , and that 's got to mean something . lulu : yes . it does , maxie . it does mean something . [ sighs ] when i was in the water , i was trying to swim . the water was so cold and rough , i could n't keep my head above the water . i could feel myself starting to sink . and then it was so weird -- i was n't cold anymore . it was like i was drifting . and then , all of a sudden , i could see all of the happiest times with me and rocco and dante -- everything that i almost lost . maxie : but you did n't , and that is thanks to dante . lulu : and when he asked me to come home , i wanted to say `` yes . `` maxie : then why did n't you ? lulu : [ sighs ] because i am afraid of history repeating itself . i 'm afraid to get hurt again . maxie : so you remember what made you so reluctant to marry dante in the first place ? lulu : um , yes . i was afraid that he would die in the line of duty . maxie : okay . what helped you get over that so you could marry the man that you loved ? lulu : i closed my eyes , and i took a leap of faith . maxie : oh . well , why do n't you do that again ?

[ scene_break ] carly : you 're claustrophobic because your stepfather used to lock in a closet before he beat you . and that 's horrible . but it 's specific to you . morgan did n't grow up like that . he had a family who loved him . he has a father who loves him . sonny : a loving father would n't put his son in an institution . carly : sonny , you 're projecting how you feel onto morgan . it horrifies you to think of him in a facility . we have to put our own feelings aside to do what 's best for our son . sonny : i 'm not gon na do it ! [ scene_break ] andré : you said your medication interfered with your ability to perform sexually . morgan : what i said is that i tried to have sex with kiki , and absolutely nothing happened . i wanted her more than ever . my body did n't work . do n't you think you should warn me about something like that ? andré : if you had called me , i would 've helped you . i would 've reconfigured your meds . i would 've told you that the side effects do eventually get easier to manage . morgan : okay . andré : morgan , we have to be a team . otherwise , you 're going to end up like this again . you understand ? morgan : yes ! i 'm starting to . i understand that going off the meds made everything worse . i get it . i get it . that 's why i tried to have sex with that girl -- to prove to myself i could still do it . and then kiki walked in , she got hurt , and still she came to the pier looking for me . andré : well , it seems very clear that kiki cares very much for you . morgan : she 's got to wake up . she 's got to walk again , and she 's got to have the best life . that 's the only way to make things right . [ scene_break ] julian : why in the hell did you give avery to sonny ? ava : do n't make it sound so permanent . it 's not like i relinquished custody . my sitter had a family emergency . she had to leave town , and i ca n't look after avery while i 'm focused on kiki . julian : well , you should 've called me . ava : it just happened so fast . and you know what ? the world has not ended . it 's true that i loathe sonny , but he does love avery . julian : you actually considering sharing custody with sonny ? ava : i 'm not considering anything beyond helping kiki recover . and you know , she 'd be the first person to tell me to let avery stay at sonny 's . julian : well , i got to tell you , it sounds like you 're bargaining with god , trying to rack up points and make sure kiki pulls through . ava : would n't you do the same thing ? if it were sam in there ? if it were lucas or leo in there ?

[ sniffles ] there 's no hell worse than being afraid for your child . i 'm just glad that leo was n't at the wedding . ava : thank god . julian : [ sighs ] speaking of wedding , dixon made it very clear that he was at that church looking for you . so , you want to fill me in on your involvement with the arms syndicate ?

[ scene_break ] julian : so , how 'd you end up in bed with the arms syndicate ? ava : against my will . in the beginning , i had no idea what kind of merchandise we were moving , and by the time i found out , it was too late to get out of it . julian : you know the shipment was the same night as the wedding ? ava : yeah . and to be honest , i was relieved that i had an excuse to not be on the pier . when dixon showed up at that church looking for me , i was as blindsided as anybody . i swear to you , julian . i had no idea that he was gon na come seeking me out . julian : so what happens now ? you gon na be charged as an accessory ? ava : i have full immunity . paul hornsby was working undercover , and i was working with him the whole time . [ scene_break ] morgan : i want my day in court . diane : okay . morgan : i want my day in court . diane : okay ! but you need to understand the ramifications of that choice . carly : you shot a gun with intent to kill . if you are found guilty , you will be sent to prison . morgan : the guy was a bad guy ! he was a gun smuggler . he was trying to land a shipment in my dad 's territory . that is what i will tell the jury . i will tell them that i was protecting my dad 's territory . i was protecting myself , too . they guy jumped at me , and then i fired . okay ? i 'll tell the court that , they 'll see i 'm a good guy , they 'll let me go -- done ! diane : morgan , it 's not always that easy . morgan : yes ! it is ! it is that easy ! it 's that easy . i will tell them that i 'm sorry . i - i will apologize . they 'll see that i - i just want to get better . they 'll let me walk . i 'll walk . i 'll get better . i can handle the bipolar ! i got -- i got andré . i got my man , andré -- sonny : morgan , stop ! stop ! no more .

[ sighs ] lulu : who ? maxie : when nathan was in the hospital on pain meds , he said that he loved her . i - i questioned him about it , and he went into this huge , elaborate lie about how claudette was a french poodle he had when he was a kid . that 's not the part that scares me , because not only is claudette not a dog , she was obviously someone important to him , and what if she 's out there somewhere , wanting another chance with nathan ? or , even worse , what if she 's still a part of his life now ? lulu : what was it you just said to me about the `` what ifs `` ? what was your advice ? maxie : refresh my memory . lulu : you told me to take a leap of faith -- to let go and let myself love dante . to move forward without holding onto the past . maxie : great . you really were listening to me . thank you . lulu : yes . i was . so why do n't you take your own advice . maxie : why do n't you take my advice and let me know how it goes . lulu : oh . you first .

whatever it was that happened with -- with nick and gabi , you were so desperate to keep me quiet that you -- ej : oh , no , that 's -- that 's -- abigail : ej , just do n't -- do n't make it worse . please , do n't lie again . you 've never been honest with me about that night . and you never will be . is n't that right ? ej : [ exhales ] okay . i do n't like to admit it , but yes , you 're right . it 's not that i do n't want to , abigail . it 's that i ca n't . i hope you respect that in every other way i worked very hard to be truthful with you about everything . everything . you do know that , right ? sami : did you really need to go there ? rafe : i do n't like having to say it , but i ca n't stand here and pretend your fiancé is something that he is n't . sami : right , right , we deserve each other and to be miserable together forever . i remember . rafe : you -- you . you deserve so much better , and the kids ? sami : they love their father . and he is really good to them and he 's not going to hurt me , rafe . rafe : mm . or me . sami : well , not now . rafe : mm . 'cause i 'm not a threat to you anymore ? or him ? sami : ej has changed , okay ? and he -- he 's given up a lot for me . if you knew what he had done for me ... rafe : so that 's now why you 're finally getting around to marrying him ? you feel indebted ? sami : i am marrying him because i love him with all of my heart . i just did n't know his -- rafe : mm . sami : i just did n't always know how to live with him , and now -- rafe : he 's changed ? that it ? where have i heard that before ? oh , right . he 's like a regular nick fallon , huh ? sami : how dare you compare him to that sick bastard ? rafe : i 'm pretty sure it 's actually more of an insult to nick . sami : okay , stop it . can we just please stop this ? because i am genuinely happy for you and i wish you could just be happy for me . rafe : i want you to be happy . do n't you understand that i want you to find happiness , but you 're not gon na find it with ej . ben : you 're worried he 's gon na show up , are n't you ? jordan : i do n't know what you mean . ben : oh , come on . this is me you 're talking to . i saw the two of you . right here as a matter of fact . jordan : well , i think you got the wrong impression . ben : i saw you kissing . i 'm pretty sure i know what that means and why you would n't want him to see us talking . daniel : no , nicole , what we did was n't for nothing . not at all . i mean , maybe we did n't get what we wanted out of chyka , but we fought . and you ? you tried -- you tried your best . you took that risk . nicole : yeah , but i dragged you into a dangerous situation . daniel : no , i think actually i - i dragged you first . what you were willing to do for eric , that was totally , totally selfless . nicole : i told you it was n't . daniel : no , but you think about -- think about where you were a year ago . nicole : oh , yeah . i 've come a long way , baby . daniel : do n't do that to yourself . a year at st. luke 's that has -- that has changed you . nicole : but i did n't take vows . i did n't even go to mass . i just pushed papers around at the rectory . daniel : i 'm telling you the nicole that is standing in front of me right here , she would never do the things she did to jennifer , or -- nicole : sami or lucas or to chloe . or to you . daniel : you are an amazing woman . you 're a good friend , you hear me ? nicole : well , i am going to be a good friend and i am going to get the hell out of here so you can have a really good night . okay , you have ... daniel : thank you . nicole : have fun tonight , okay ? daniel : yeah , uh , you -- you too . nicole : thanks . no , daniel , i am not a very good friend . but maybe there 's something i can do . stefano : your passion is ... so much , um -- what is the word ? uh ... moving . but what you ask i can not give . marlena : you 're even more of a coward than i thought . but i should have known that . stefano : well , if you knew so much , why did you come ? marlena : you know what ? maybe there is something you can do for me .

[ scene_break ] carly : that was judge cole 's secretary . he 's running late . jax : nothing like dragging out the inevitable . carly : great . jax : hey . how you doing ? brenda : ok . how 's the hearing going ? jax : the judge is running late . but since you 're here , i wanted to let you know that alexis resigned as my attorney , so today , the hearing will be in the judge 's chambers without counsel present . brenda : oh . wow . um , i 'm actually glad to hear that . i was nervous . i do n't really want to be doing this . jax : there 's no need to be nervous . you just got to tell the truth , you know . sonny : hey . brenda : hey . sonny : is everything ok ? brenda : yeah . carly : it will be great when the judge shows up if we 're not all screaming and yelling at each other . sonny : well , i 'm going to hold together . can you ? carly : i do n't really have a choice right now , sonny . jax : wow . we 're just one big happy family , are n't we ? well , i guess there 's something to be said about body language , is n't there ? how brenda 's over here with me , and you two always seem to gravitate toward each other . [ scene_break ] robin : that is not right . i mean , he should n't have to take the fall for the rest of us . patrick : you know , i have to say , he was a good chief of staff . robin : yeah . i mean , even with the whole lisa thing , he handled that pretty fairly , considering there was never any concrete evidence . patrick : well , he could n't fire her , because then she would have sued the hospital . and in all fairness , he actually thought that elizabeth was n't ready to go back in the o.r . i was the one who was pushing her . robin : it 's just so sad . he should n't have to resign . patrick : i think we need a reward . robin : excuse me ? patrick : it 's been a really difficult past couple of months . robin : try suck beyond belief . patrick : my point exactly . so i think we need something to look forward to . robin : is the hot tub coming ? patrick : the hot tub is coming , and i ca n't wait to sit under those stars and soak in that hot tub with you , sipping a little wine , listening to a little sade . robin : you like sade ? patrick : yeah . you do n't ? robin : i mean , i would n't say she 's on my playlist , but -- patrick : oh . um , because i got tickets to her concert . robin : oh . when is it ? patrick : two weeks from next saturday , front row . center . but you know what ? i can find -- we can just give them away . we do n't really need to go . robin : no , i want to go . are you kidding me ? a sade concert with my husband , under the stars , kissing him ? hey . steve : hey . robin : how 'd it go with the board ? steve : so much for my resignation . i have been suspended indefinitely as chief . but i 'll be working as head of the er trauma unit . patrick : well , good . so we do n't lose you . robin : and you 're such a terrific surgeon . i mean , did n't you always say that the paperwork kept you from what you do best ? steve : hey , i got to admit , i 'll be glad to get back in the action . patrick : good . so it 's not all bad . steve : yeah . the board has asked me to recommend an interim replacement . it 's a big responsibility coming on the heels of the lockdown and the malpractice suits . we 're all trying to get our lives back on track . we 're going to need focus and stability , which is why i ca n't think of anyone better to guide this hospital during this time than robin . [ scene_break ] elizabeth : hey . lucky : come in . elizabeth : so , how was the camping trip ? lucky : uh , it was an adventure . no , i mean , it was great . it was just what i needed . just hope the boys had as much fun as i did . elizabeth : i 'm sure they did . where are they ? lucky : oh , they 're down for the count . they were so exhausted , i just figured i 'd let them nap until you got here . elizabeth : that 's fine . i can wait . lucky : yeah . you know , i have such good memories of camping with my dad , and i just -- i thought they were lost to me after everything that happened with jake . but being out there with the two of them just made me realize how real those moments were with my dad . elizabeth : good . i 'm glad . lucky : it 's a tradition that i want to carry on with the both of them . elizabeth : they 're very lucky to have you . lucky : oh , hey . i wanted to let you know that i had a chance to talk to cam about the whole thing -- about , you know , that i 'm aiden 's real father . elizabeth : ok . what 'd he say ? lucky : he was fine . i mean , i do n't know how much he completely understood , but i just tried to make it clear that my love for them is the same . they 're both my sons , and they mean everything to me . elizabeth : ok . lucky : you all right ? something happen ? elizabeth : well , not with this . i 'm glad you got to talk to the boys . lucky , siobhan believes i tried to kill her . siobhan has filed a malpractice suit against me and the hospital . lucky : what ? elizabeth : she wants me held responsible for trying to kill her . she thinks i did it deliberately to get her out of the way . lucky : that 's crazy . elizabeth : i know , but not to her . lucky : ok . i 'm just going to talk to her . elizabeth : i do n't think that 's going to do any good . lucky : this is ridiculous . you know , she 's probably just still recovering , and if she 's angry with anyone , it should be me . i 'm the one who set the fire . elizabeth : lucky , i need you to understand something . when the two of you started seeing each other , you know i was n't thrilled about it , but by the time you got married , i honestly just want you to be happy . lucky : no , i know that . elizabeth : and i did not tell you the truth about aiden as a ploy to get you back . lucky : you do n't have to explain anything , elizabeth . i trust you completely . i do . siobhan just does n't know you well enough to know that you 'd never do something like that intentionally . i just need to talk to her . i promise , i 'm going to make this right .

[ patrick chuckles ] [ scene_break ] sonny : this defeats the purpose of us driving over here in separate cars . this seems weird . what do you want to talk -- you want to talk about the weather ? gardening ? i mean , you know . brenda : i do n't really feel like talking right now , sonny . sonny : no , no . i understand . but see , i think that 's what jax wants . he wants to put us at odds . brenda : hmm . sonny : i mean , why else would he make a comment like carly gravitating towards me ? brenda : she does . sonny : the thing is , jax causes her nothing but grief . why would n't she want to keep her distance ? brenda : you know , it 's amazing . you have an answer for every single thing that has to do with carly , do n't you ? sonny : i just do n't want him manipulating you , that 's all . brenda : but why is it that you can help carly , and that 's ok , but if i help jax , someone must be manipulating me ? sonny : his main goal is to take josslyn away , and if he causes a problem between us , better yet . that way , he can walk away with josslyn like he can walk away with you . [ scene_break ] judge cole : this will be an informal hearing . i 'll be reviewing all witness testimony and various depositions starting with the recommendations of the mediator . then , i 'll render my decision . ms. yang , i 'd like to start the questioning with you . please state your name for the record . grace : grace yang . judge cole : and you understand you 're under oath ? grace : i do . judge cole : i 've been told you 've met with both parents . grace : yes , your honor . judge cole : can you give me your impressions ? grace : yes , your honor . mrs. jacks would like shared custody of their daughter josslyn , while mr. jacks feels that would not be in the best interest of the child . judge cole : and why is that ? grace : from what i 've been able to observe , carly jacks is quite volatile . carly : what ? that 's not true . no , i 'm not . judge cole : mrs. jacks , i 'll have to ask you to refrain from making any comment unless you 're answering one of my questions . grace : may i continue ? judge cole : please . grace : it would also appear mrs. jacks is unable to provide a safe home environment . carly : mrs. yang never bothered to visit my home . judge cole : if the court deems it necessary , that can be one of the things that comes out of this hearing . please continue . grace : from what i 've been able to observe , mrs. jacks has two other children from a previous marriage to an alleged crime figure , sonny corinthos . the two families continue to interact , and any repercussions from mr. corinthos ' criminal activity can easily fall on the children . additionally , michael , josslyn 's eldest sibling , is himself a convicted felon . he also suffered brain damage from a bullet wound -- a bullet apparently meant for his father . and as a result , he has severe emotional problems . judge cole : i see . grace : i 've also met with mr. corinthos . he is hostile and seemingly quite proud of his criminal background . he threatened mr. jacks in my presence . in my opinion , the man has no respect for the law , so how could he possibly have any regard for josslyn 's safety ? it is my belief , since mrs. jacks clearly has no intention of giving up her relationship with her former husband , that the child josslyn is in severe physical and emotional jeopardy whenever she 's in her mother 's home . therefore , it is my recommendation that mr. jacks be granted sole custody . [ scene_break ] sonny : what are you doing here ? kristina : it 's nice to see you , too , dad . sonny : no , no , no . it 's just that if this is about ethan -- look , carly 's going through a custody hearing . it 's a big deal . and i do n't want us to fight , 'cause it would n't be good for her . you understand ? kristina : do n't worry . we have plenty of time to fight later . i 'm actually here to support you . michael told me about the hearing , how jax is saying that it 's dangerous for joss to be around you . i want to tell the judge it is n't true . sonny : really ? how about the daughter who thinks that i 'm a -- butt ? [ laughs ] kristina : you 're also a great dad . you may be way overprotective and , sorry , more than a little sexist , but you love your kids , and you 'd do anything to protect us . we all know that . sonny : thanks , sweetheart . kristina : you 're not a threat to joss . she 's lucky to have you in her life , and the judge needs to hear that . [ scene_break ] judge cole : state your name , please . brenda : brenda barrett corinthos . judge cole : you understand you 've been called as a witness by mr. jacks ? brenda : yes . judge cole : you understand why ? brenda : yes , because i 'm married to sonny corinthos . judge cole : and mr. jacks believes your husband is a danger to his daughter . brenda : um , i -- i guess so . judge cole : do you agree ? brenda : i agree that my husband is a good man , and he loves his kids . you should see him with his kids . i 've -- well , i 've known sonny for a very long time , and i 've known jax for a very , very long time . and the truth is , they just do n't like each other . but i think everyone would agree that they 're both very devoted fathers . judge cole : that 's all well and good . but we 're here to decide a custody issue . the question before you is do you think your husband poses a threat to josslyn 'cause of his line of work and his relationship with mrs. jacks ? brenda : he does n't exactly have a relationship with mrs. jacks . they have two children together . judge cole : do your husband and carly jacks spend time together ? brenda : uh , yes , they do sometimes , but that 's always initiated by carly , because she does come to my husband for every little thing . and i have asked her , actually , to back off . but she refuses . so it 's up to her , i guess . judge cole : and mr. jacks believes that association puts his daughter at risk . brenda : um , well , i guess so . judge cole : do you believe your husband is a danger to the children around him ? you need to answer my question , mrs. corinthos . brenda : i do n't know if i can -- he 's my husband , so i do n't know if i can answer that question . judge cole : well , this is not a trial . this is an informal hearing . and you need to answer my questions . tell me this . do you believe mr. jacks should have sole custody of his daughter ? brenda : i believe that if mr. jacks had sole custody -- in fact , i know that he 's promised carly that she could be involved in every single aspect of josslyn 's life . so -- i mean , jax is a man who keeps his word . and he 's fair . he 's supportive . judge cole : now , let 's go back to my initial question . does your husband pose a danger to the children around him ? [ scene_break ] patrick : yeah , go ahead . laugh it up . twist the dagger . whatever you want . matt : i would just like to say that i think robin is a perfect choice for the interim chief . and let me just say , boss , if there 's anything i can do to help you out , let me know . patrick : oh , please . boss ? robin : boss ? thank you . matt : and i 'd also like to go on the record and say that i think robin is a great choice . there 's no way i 'd like to take orders from the ego - busting maniac that is my brother , who lacks a sense of humor -- patrick : hey , i can take a joke . matt : really ? as long as it 's not about you . patrick : and by the way , my people skills are excellent . steve : i mean , i thought i was doing you a favor . chief of staff can be a pretty thankless job at times , patrick . robin : gee , thanks . i thought you were giving me this job because you trust me . steve : i do . and i think you 're going to do a great job at it . i mean , you 're going to be able to roll with the punches and take everything in stride , unlike your husband , who gets frustrated with petty , everyday conflicts and foul - ups . we need your brilliance in the o.r . , patrick . you 're the star racehorse we save for the big finish . matt : [ laughs ] do you see this ? he 's buying this . he 's buying it hook , line , and sinker . no wonder you 're so good at your job . patrick : oh , ok . so , little brother , you actually think that i 'm an arrogant jerk , and i need coddling . matt : no . i think you 're a humorless perfectionist that takes himself too seriously . robin : hey , look at it this way . you might be a humorless , arrogant jerk , but you 're married to the chief of staff .

[ scene_break ] jane : you 're right . i sent the post card . i was trying to keep jax in your thoughts . carly : `` the african savannas are breathtaking , hope you 're well `` ? not exactly poetic . jane : well , if i 'd gone overboard , you would 've seen right through it . i simply wanted to keep hope alive . carly : hope went out the door the night jax left without saying goodbye . and why should i keep hope alive ? why should i keep jax in my thoughts ? i 'm obviously not in his . jane : oh , no . if you got that impression , i totally misspoke . i saw jax dial your number a hundred times if i saw it once . carly : yeah , well , you know what ? i did n't get the call . jane : well , he always hangs up before the call goes through . carly : `` almost `` does n't count . jane : oh , now , look , i am not defending jax . i know he made a mess of things , but he loves you dearly , and i 'm desperately hoping you love him enough to make the first move . oh , come back to cairo with me . carly : jax walked out on me . he can be the one to crawl back . [ jane sighs ] jane : what is more important -- being with the man you love , or being alone , pride intact ? carly : when you say it like that , there 's only one answer -- pride intact . carly : what ? you 're surprised by my answer , but you do n't know my life . i have spent more years than i care to remember clawing for my husband 's love . i have twisted myself in knots , turned myself inside and out , to be who sonny wanted me to be at any given moment . and then when i got it right , i had to scramble to try and hide everything i did to pull it off , because even though i did it out of love , sonny would see it as some form of a betrayal . i have been through hell and back , jane . but i finally know who i am , i know what i want , and i am not going to fall back into some self - destructive pattern or change the core of who i am for any man , including jax . jane : well , you are making a lot of assumptions . now , i have no knowledge of your relationship with sonny , but i do know my own son . now , answer me this . when jax left , did he try to turn it on you and make you believe it was something lacking in you ? carly : no . jane : well , did he try to change you ? did he bully you ? did he make you feel like you were to tie yourself up in knots ? carly : no , okay ? of course he did n't , and you know that . jane : well , did he make you feel like you had to lie to him in order to deserve a place in his life ? carly : no , jane , but that 's the point . jax and i were awesome together -- or so i thought . jane : i saw it with my own eyes . you two were a perfect match . now , you know jax as well as i do . he is far too proud a man to admit he 's floundering , but his actions constitute a cry for help . why wo n't you answer ? what are you afraid of ? [ scene_break ] sonny : you heard what i said to alcazar ? lainey : i did . sonny : yeah ? what do you think ? lainey : no . more importantly , how did it feel ? sonny : well , it felt pretty good . i think i did all right , you know ? i did n't want to rip his head off . it was fun , and i liked toying with him . lainey : so you 've -- you 've been taking your higher dose of meds ? sonny : right on time . lainey : well , maybe it 's starting to work . sonny : maybe , or it could be just a cycle . lainey : well , the goal here is to break that cycle permanently . in any case , you seem much calmer than you 've been in weeks . i call that progress . sonny : yeah , yeah . thanks to you . lainey : you 're the one who 's been doing the work . sonny : with your help . i think we should keep going . lainey : i 'm really glad to hear you say that . sonny : there 's just one thing . instead of , you know , doing it here , i 'd like you to come to my house . lainey : that 's a really bad idea . sonny : why ? lainey : well , part of the point is to get you out of your comfort zone and into a neutral territory so that it 's easier for you to open up . and coming here helps you keep making the commitment . sonny : well , yeah , i -- i appreciate that , i 'm sure it works for a lot of people , but a lot of people are n't in my line of work . lainey : and neither are you . sonny : no , but i will be because it 's pretty much all i know how to do . see , you got to understand something . if my business associates perceive me as weak or vulnerable , it 's not a good thing . and coming here does two things -- it makes me look weak and it pinpoints where i 'm at three times a week . in the beginning , you just come to my house , right , to visit . i 'm not -- look , i 'm trying -- i just broke up with emily , and it 's not like that at all . so how -- like , how would you feel about casual dating ? [ scene_break ] maxie : you were really great last night . elizabeth : excuse me ? maxie : yeah , at lulu 's party -- inviting patrick to stay , making such a fuss over him . you know , he 's still on the floor somewhere if you want to `` run into him . `` elizabeth : oh . you lying , manipulative bitch . maxie : what 's the matter , elizabeth ? did i hit a sore spot ? maybe i got too close to the truth -- that you 've been cheating on lucky with patrick for months . you know , you 've got no moral ground to stand on . why should n't lucky get what he needs from someone who 's not constantly looking over his shoulder at another man ? all i did was give your husband the attention you 've been too busy giving patrick . elizabeth : you do n't know anything -- maxie : do n't touch me . patrick : hey , hey , hey , hey , ladies , hey . what the hell is going on ? [ scene_break ] sonny : okay , you have to understand . believe me , the last thing i want to do is get involved with anyone . but i 'm just thinking , you know , we take it slow , right ? we sneak you in for a few sessions until we 've been out in public , and then -- lainey : hold on , sonny . i 'm not going to pretend to date you . sonny : no , i will -- i will pay you double . it 's just a cover . it 's nothing physical , i told you that . lainey : but listen to me , you 're -- no , you 're not hearing me . i do n't date my patients , and i do n't pretend to date them for purposes of covert therapy . i -- i sympathize with the demands of your business , but you have to be the one to accommodate the work you do with me , not the other way around . sonny : well , you know , then we 're going to have what we call in my business `` a situation `` because , see , i ca n't afford to look anything but strong and in control . lainey : look , i -- i ca n't speak to the rules of your world , only the reality of mine , and therapy happens within these four walls , no matter who the patient is or what his occupation . but if you use my refusal as an excuse to go off your meds or to stop coming , you will have another breakdown , and next time you could take somebody you love down with you . [ scene_break ] carly : okay , you want to know what i 'm afraid of ? i 'm afraid you 're wrong . i 'm afraid jax has moved on , because what i thought we had was n't his reality at all . i 'm afraid of getting hurt because i do n't handle that so well . jane : that strength , that glint in your eye -- that 's what makes you so good for jax . you are a woman who can keep up with him and watch his back at the same time , and he would never resent you for trying to protect him because he 'd know you were doing it out of love . jax is not sonny . jax believes a woman 's place is at his side . carly : and that sounds great coming from you . it 's not coming from jax . matter of fact , i have n't heard anything from jax . he snuck away in the middle of the night without even saying goodbye to me . and you know what ? i could probably handle that if it were just me , but i have children . and i 'm not going to let them be jerked around by my erratic love life , because i need man who is stable , dependable , and -- call me crazy , but -- around . jane : well , you do know that jax is crazy about your two boys . why do n't you bring them along ? carly : bring them to africa ? jane : why not ? africa 's a fascinating place for young , inquiring minds , and jax would love to show them and show you . carly : using my boys ? that 's low , jane . jane : you and i are alike , carly . strong , sometimes difficult women with special needs for our men , and i was lucky enough to find mine early , and i spent most of my life with him . john 's gone now , rest his soul , and i 'm never going to have another love like that , but i so hoped for that same experience for my sons -- though i 've given up on jerry . he ca n't stay in one place long enough to sustain a friendship , let alone anything else , but there 's still hope for jax . now , he 's made a lot of mistakes , others before and after courtney 's death -- most particularly , the decision to claim courtney 's child with nikolas as his own . but you were not a mistake . you were a blessing . he had a future with you , and it was because of -- of that strength and clarity of your relationship that he was able to admit the truth and give the baby back to its rightful father . i believe it 's because what he thought he had with you was enough . carly : that 's not the message he sent . jane : i watched my son lose at love over and over again , and from my perspective , i believe it 's because not one woman loved him enough to fight for him . and i thought you were different . i thought that you were incapable of giving up on love . well , apparently , i was wrong , and i 'm sorry i wasted your time . carly : hey , can you get me flight information to cairo ? [ scene_break ] patrick : hey -- elizabeth : listen , you little skank . you go anywhere near my husband and i 'm going to make sure this entire town knows what a tramp the police commissioner raised . oh , by the way , does your daddy know you 're sleeping with one of his married detectives ? maxie : you can tell whoever you want . i 'll get my satisfaction from everyone knowing what a hypocrite you are . elizabeth : oh , really ? patrick : did i just hear that correctly ? is maxie sleeping -- elizabeth : sleeping with my husband ? yes . patrick : i 'm sorry . elizabeth : you do n't even look surprised . do you know something ? what -- you may as well just tell me . it ca n't get much worse than this . patrick : i saw maxie and lucky on the docks one night . they looked comfortable . look , i 'm sorry i did n't say anything -- i should 've -- but i usually make it a practice not to get involved , and i did n't want to hurt you . elizabeth : oh . wow . i wish my husband felt the same way . patrick : i 'm sorry . patrick : this is not your fault . tell me you 're not blaming yourself . elizabeth : he would 've never slept with her if it had n't been for those pills . patrick : you 're probably right . elizabeth : if i had confronted him earlier , i would n't have the shock of my life . i walked in and saw my husband having sex with a girl who 's barely legal .

[ lucky laughs ] elizabeth : okay , i am not -- lucky : there 's patrick ! elizabeth : i am not going to stand here and let you wallow in your self pity over something that only exists in your head . i did n't make you spit on our wedding vows . you chose to . and if maxie is such a perfect match for you , then i am happy to get out of your way . lucky : god , i bet you are ! you finally got the excuse you needed to go run into patrick 's arms , not that you needed one -- you probably already slept with him all over the hospital ! huh ? yeah ! elizabeth : are you looking for these ? why do n't you take them ? you probably love them more than your wife or your mistress . [ scene_break ] sonny : you seem awfully anxious to have me break down again . maybe you 're the one who 's under pressure . you making a lot of promises you ca n't keep , alcazar ? like telling the rosales family that he could run his shipments through port charles ? you thought i 'd be out of commission , that i 'd be climbing the walls at shadybrook or something . but i 'm still standing , and jason stands with me . there 's no way in hell we 're going to let you take over this town . you 're sweating bullets that rosales will cut you out , spread the word you 're ineffectual -- that 's a lot of stress . i do n't know if you know this or not , but stress is the number one killer among men our age , and it seems like you 're not sleeping very well . you 're probably staying up late trying to figure out where skye disappeared to with your unborn child . and let me tell you something else about stress . it makes you careless . it really does mess with you . maybe that 's why you do n't have any guards with you right now , or maybe you 're just getting cocky . because if that 's the case , i 'm going to give you some advice . you better be careful , and you better be prepared for the unexpected . lorenzo : why do n't you go get your head shrunk . a good session might actually bring it down to size . sonny : you know what ? i can ask lainey to help you out a little bit in some areas that you need there , you know ? it 'd be nice for you . lainey : impressive . now , let 's see how much of that cool confidence was real . [ scene_break ] jane : you 're right . i sent the post card . i was trying to keep jax in your thoughts . carly : `` the african savannas are breathtaking , hope you 're well `` ? not exactly poetic . jane : well , if i 'd gone overboard , you would 've seen right through it . i simply wanted to keep hope alive . carly : hope went out the door the night jax left without saying goodbye . and why should i keep hope alive ? why should i keep jax in my thoughts ? i 'm obviously not in his . jane : oh , no . if you got that impression , i totally misspoke . i saw jax dial your number a hundred times if i saw it once . carly : yeah , well , you know what ? i did n't get the call . jane : well , he always hangs up before the call goes through . carly : `` almost `` does n't count . jane : oh , now , look , i am not defending jax . i know he made a mess of things , but he loves you dearly , and i 'm desperately hoping you love him enough to make the first move . oh , come back to cairo with me . carly : jax walked out on me . he can be the one to crawl back . [ jane sighs ] jane : what is more important -- being with the man you love , or being alone , pride intact ? carly : when you say it like that , there 's only one answer -- pride intact . carly : what ? you 're surprised by my answer , but you do n't know my life . i have spent more years than i care to remember clawing for my husband 's love . i have twisted myself in knots , turned myself inside and out , to be who sonny wanted me to be at any given moment . and then when i got it right , i had to scramble to try and hide everything i did to pull it off , because even though i did it out of love , sonny would see it as some form of a betrayal . i have been through hell and back , jane . but i finally know who i am , i know what i want , and i am not going to fall back into some self - destructive pattern or change the core of who i am for any man , including jax . jane : well , you are making a lot of assumptions . now , i have no knowledge of your relationship with sonny , but i do know my own son . now , answer me this . when jax left , did he try to turn it on you and make you believe it was something lacking in you ? carly : no . jane : well , did he try to change you ? did he bully you ? did he make you feel like you were to tie yourself up in knots ? carly : no , okay ? of course he did n't , and you know that . jane : well , did he make you feel like you had to lie to him in order to deserve a place in his life ? carly : no , jane , but that 's the point . jax and i were awesome together -- or so i thought . jane : i saw it with my own eyes . you two were a perfect match . now , you know jax as well as i do . he is far too proud a man to admit he 's floundering , but his actions constitute a cry for help . why wo n't you answer ? what are you afraid of ? [ scene_break ] sonny : you heard what i said to alcazar ? lainey : i did . sonny : yeah ? what do you think ? lainey : no . more importantly , how did it feel ? sonny : well , it felt pretty good . i think i did all right , you know ? i did n't want to rip his head off . it was fun , and i liked toying with him . lainey : so you 've -- you 've been taking your higher dose of meds ? sonny : right on time . lainey : well , maybe it 's starting to work . sonny : maybe , or it could be just a cycle . lainey : well , the goal here is to break that cycle permanently . in any case , you seem much calmer than you 've been in weeks . i call that progress . sonny : yeah , yeah . thanks to you . lainey : you 're the one who 's been doing the work . sonny : with your help . i think we should keep going . lainey : i 'm really glad to hear you say that . sonny : there 's just one thing . instead of , you know , doing it here , i 'd like you to come to my house . lainey : that 's a really bad idea . sonny : why ? lainey : well , part of the point is to get you out of your comfort zone and into a neutral territory so that it 's easier for you to open up . and coming here helps you keep making the commitment . sonny : well , yeah , i -- i appreciate that , i 'm sure it works for a lot of people , but a lot of people are n't in my line of work . lainey : and neither are you . sonny : no , but i will be because it 's pretty much all i know how to do . see , you got to understand something . if my business associates perceive me as weak or vulnerable , it 's not a good thing . and coming here does two things -- it makes me look weak and it pinpoints where i 'm at three times a week . in the beginning , you just come to my house , right , to visit . i 'm not -- look , i 'm trying -- i just broke up with emily , and it 's not like that at all . so how -- like , how would you feel about casual dating ? [ scene_break ] maxie : you were really great last night . elizabeth : excuse me ? maxie : yeah , at lulu 's party -- inviting patrick to stay , making such a fuss over him . you know , he 's still on the floor somewhere if you want to `` run into him . `` elizabeth : oh . you lying , manipulative bitch . maxie : what 's the matter , elizabeth ? did i hit a sore spot ? maybe i got too close to the truth -- that you 've been cheating on lucky with patrick for months . you know , you 've got no moral ground to stand on . why should n't lucky get what he needs from someone who 's not constantly looking over his shoulder at another man ? all i did was give your husband the attention you 've been too busy giving patrick . elizabeth : you do n't know anything -- maxie : do n't touch me . patrick : hey , hey , hey , hey , ladies , hey . what the hell is going on ? [ scene_break ] sonny : okay , you have to understand . believe me , the last thing i want to do is get involved with anyone . but i 'm just thinking , you know , we take it slow , right ? we sneak you in for a few sessions until we 've been out in public , and then -- lainey : hold on , sonny . i 'm not going to pretend to date you . sonny : no , i will -- i will pay you double . it 's just a cover . it 's nothing physical , i told you that . lainey : but listen to me , you 're -- no , you 're not hearing me . i do n't date my patients , and i do n't pretend to date them for purposes of covert therapy . i -- i sympathize with the demands of your business , but you have to be the one to accommodate the work you do with me , not the other way around . sonny : well , you know , then we 're going to have what we call in my business `` a situation `` because , see , i ca n't afford to look anything but strong and in control . lainey : look , i -- i ca n't speak to the rules of your world , only the reality of mine , and therapy happens within these four walls , no matter who the patient is or what his occupation . but if you use my refusal as an excuse to go off your meds or to stop coming , you will have another breakdown , and next time you could take somebody you love down with you . [ scene_break ] carly : okay , you want to know what i 'm afraid of ? i 'm afraid you 're wrong . i 'm afraid jax has moved on , because what i thought we had was n't his reality at all . i 'm afraid of getting hurt because i do n't handle that so well . jane : that strength , that glint in your eye -- that 's what makes you so good for jax . you are a woman who can keep up with him and watch his back at the same time , and he would never resent you for trying to protect him because he 'd know you were doing it out of love . jax is not sonny . jax believes a woman 's place is at his side . carly : and that sounds great coming from you . it 's not coming from jax . matter of fact , i have n't heard anything from jax . he snuck away in the middle of the night without even saying goodbye to me . and you know what ? i could probably handle that if it were just me , but i have children . and i 'm not going to let them be jerked around by my erratic love life , because i need man who is stable , dependable , and -- call me crazy , but -- around . jane : well , you do know that jax is crazy about your two boys . why do n't you bring them along ? carly : bring them to africa ? jane : why not ? africa 's a fascinating place for young , inquiring minds , and jax would love to show them and show you . carly : using my boys ? that 's low , jane . jane : you and i are alike , carly . strong , sometimes difficult women with special needs for our men , and i was lucky enough to find mine early , and i spent most of my life with him . john 's gone now , rest his soul , and i 'm never going to have another love like that , but i so hoped for that same experience for my sons -- though i 've given up on jerry . he ca n't stay in one place long enough to sustain a friendship , let alone anything else , but there 's still hope for jax . now , he 's made a lot of mistakes , others before and after courtney 's death -- most particularly , the decision to claim courtney 's child with nikolas as his own . but you were not a mistake . you were a blessing . he had a future with you , and it was because of -- of that strength and clarity of your relationship that he was able to admit the truth and give the baby back to its rightful father . i believe it 's because what he thought he had with you was enough . carly : that 's not the message he sent . jane : i watched my son lose at love over and over again , and from my perspective , i believe it 's because not one woman loved him enough to fight for him . and i thought you were different . i thought that you were incapable of giving up on love . well , apparently , i was wrong , and i 'm sorry i wasted your time . carly : hey , can you get me flight information to cairo ? [ scene_break ] patrick : hey -- elizabeth : listen , you little skank . you go anywhere near my husband and i 'm going to make sure this entire town knows what a tramp the police commissioner raised . oh , by the way , does your daddy know you 're sleeping with one of his married detectives ? maxie : you can tell whoever you want . i 'll get my satisfaction from everyone knowing what a hypocrite you are . elizabeth : oh , really ? patrick : did i just hear that correctly ? is maxie sleeping -- elizabeth : sleeping with my husband ? yes . patrick : i 'm sorry . elizabeth : you do n't even look surprised . do you know something ? what -- you may as well just tell me . it ca n't get much worse than this . patrick : i saw maxie and lucky on the docks one night . they looked comfortable . look , i 'm sorry i did n't say anything -- i should 've -- but i usually make it a practice not to get involved , and i did n't want to hurt you . elizabeth : oh . wow . i wish my husband felt the same way . patrick : i 'm sorry . patrick : this is not your fault . tell me you 're not blaming yourself . elizabeth : he would 've never slept with her if it had n't been for those pills . patrick : you 're probably right . elizabeth : if i had confronted him earlier , i would n't have the shock of my life . i walked in and saw my husband having sex with a girl who 's barely legal .

's room , he remembers seeing carly . why is dr. thomas the only piece that 's missing ? sam : because michael probably feels guilty for seeing and witnessing his biological father being murdered . it 's not his fault . i -- jason : no , none of this is michael 's fault . i mean , this kid has spent his whole life paying for other people 's mistakes including mine . [ jason sighs ] sam : where did that come from , jason ? you have done nothing but love and protect michael . jason : i told the first lie of michael 's life . i said michael was my son . he loved me . you know , he did n't know not to . we had spent one year together and i was gone . he did n't understand why . he just thought i 'd disappeared . i 'm tired of failing michael , ok ? i promised him that this would be over . it has to be over , sam . no more lies . no more confusion . i got to find out what happened the night a.j . died so i can tell michael and he can let it go instead of carrying it for the rest of his life until it finally destroys him like the accident destroyed a.j . !

dylan : hey . you doing okay ? are you ready for the arraignment ? hey , no talking . sharon : david sherman never returned my calls , and the public defender they assigned me , he was useless . i had to fire him . i have no attorney , dylan . no talking . sharon : help me . find me a lawyer . avery : hi . joe : hi . avery : do you need anything ? joe : no , just for you to go home and get some rest . avery : i did rest . i may have snored . joe : no , a true gentleman never says . avery : that means yes . joe : you did n't have to stay . avery : i wanted to . just in case . joe : yeah , still no feeling in my legs . that has n't changed . but everything else has . lauren : so , what do you think if we get away from all of this for a few days and we get fen and scotty to meet us and we celebrate the end of your radiation treatment ? now , that 's one option . so , i have another one . it 's kind of one i 'm pushing for . that i do n't care if it 's warm or cold or city or rural . it 's just the two of us alone and away from all of this for a couple of days . michael : well , my radiation is done , but i 'm still on hormone therapy . i do n't think that just the two of us will be quite as enthralling as you might think . lauren : i love you . i adore you . but i can spend three days away with you without having to spend it in bed . michael : i appreciate your candor . [ sighs ] honestly , lauren , i just do n't think this is the right time to get away . lauren : and why is that ? you do n't have any pressing cases . i mean , at least none that you 've talked to me about . michael : no , it 's not my job . it 's your job . you 've been so focused on me , you must have a backlog up to the ceiling . you delayed the boutique expansion . something 's got to give . cane : and this is where i remind you that i am here to provide your wife with whatever she needs . stitch : hey , hey , hey , hey ! get the hell off each other ! billy : come on ! come on ! let 's go , you son of a -- stitch : break it up ! break it up ! adam : you 're all class ! billy : oh , me ? yeah . yeah , bring it . stitch : hey . what the hell is wrong with you ? ! huh ? ! you -- you and your brother did n't kick my sister around enough when she was alive ? now you got to do it when she 's dead ? ! billy : stitch , i did n't -- i did n't -- victoria : you did n't know . you had no way of knowing . ben , he did n't know . abby : are you okay ? additional sponsorship billy : ben , i am sorry , man . i - i lost my head . i know it 's no excuse . stitch : oh , save it , man , okay ? ! i do n't give a damn about what you thought or how sorry you are ! abby : why were you two beating each other up ? billy : bingham here may be new in town , but knows being compared to adam newman is never a good thing . abby : that 's what you said to him ? `` hi , you remind me of a guy who 's universally loathed ? `` since we all work together , can you two stop acting like idiots ? adam : sure . no , the family business is much more important than your fiancée or her son , right ? victoria : you do n't know any of us well enough to be throwing accusations . billy : but he does . he knows chelsea better than any of us . and he 's had a great time stalking her . adam : what the hell do you care , huh ? the more time i spend with her , the more time you can spend with your ex - wife , chasing her around . who , by the way , does n't seem to mind . billy : ask me again why i hate that guy . excuse me . abby : you 're a mess . billy : yes , i am . abby : that guy is a tool . billy : yes , he is . abby : but if you 're chasing victoria ... billy : i 'm not -- i 'm not chasing vic -- look , bingham wants me to be with victoria so that he can have a shot with chelsea , or so he thinks . abby : that guy is bizarre , but it does n't mean he 's wrong about everything . billy : i 'm not chasing victoria . or are you saying that you think he 's got a shot with chelsea ? abby : no one would blame you if you 're not over victoria . billy : do you remember when you said that you were gon na stop trying to put me and victoria back together ? that was a good thing . abby : i 'm not trying to push you guys together . i tried , and i realized it was ineffective . but if you 're saying that 's what you want deep down in your secret soul ... billy : abby , i do n't have a secret soul . i wear everything on my sleeve out in the open . you know that . abby : do you want victoria back ? because i can help you . billy : you can help ? you want me to get back together with vick , huh ? and why would that be ? might it be so that stitch is available to move on with somebody else ? stitch : not quite the welcome home i was expecting . victoria : i know . that gabriel 's turned out to be kind of a loose cannon . he 's nothing like what nick described him to be in boarding school . he 's just ... picking fights and throwing around these ridiculous accusations . stitch : maybe -- maybe he 's right . victoria : about what part ? stitch : billy 's been gone and chelsea 's alone , maybe even lonely , and meanwhile , i was out of town . victoria : yeah , you had to go for kelly 's sake . stitch : yeah , and before that , i was at the club instead of home with you . victoria : you did that for abby 's sake and for my sake because she 's my sister . you did the right thing both times . stitch : right for me or right for us ? are we fine , victoria , you and me ? victoria : i think we 're both pretty sure that we 're not fine right now , but we will be . sharon 's been arrested . it means abby 's safe now . so you can come home . stitch : problem is , i 'm not sure that 's true . victoria : not sure that abby 's safe or not sure that you want to come home ? cane : so , whatever your wife needs , i am at her service . lauren : so , let 's -- let 's just say i need a few days off . cane : mm - hmm . lauren : like , three . cane : done . lauren : done . did you hear ? he said done . cane : i said done . michael : okay , i appreciate your confidence , but fenmore 's is not chancellor . there 's a lot to get to know . lauren : the man has twins . he has dealt with jill . cane : and do n't forget colin . please do n't forget my father . lauren : as much as we 'd like to . cane : there you go . so , fenmore 's will be safe . lauren : right , and if there 's any emergencies , honestly , you can call me . cane : which i will not do , so go . go . be happy . go be together . go . michael : all right . it 's agreed . lauren : good ! when do we go ? michael : as soon as i check with avery . lauren : all right . michael : just to be sure , all right ? i 'll keep you posted . joe : as i was just telling my chaperone , now i ca n't still feel my legs , so the sooner we get me into therapy , the sooner i think we can get them back in working order . we 'll get the tests back , mr. clark , and we 'll take it from there . one step at a time . avery : thank you . joe : did you hear that ? one step at a time . news flash , doc -- that 's the problem ! i ca n't take a step ! avery : i think he 's being aspirational , thinking taking actual steps . look , i understand your eagerness in all this , but you have to do what the doctor says and wait . joe : wait for what ? i know i can walk . it 's not a matter of if . it 's a matter of when . and it needs to be now ! i 'm not paralyzed , avery ! avery : nobody is saying you are , joe . i 'm not saying that . the doctors are n't saying that . we just need time . joe : no , i do n't have time ! avery : what are you doing ? stop it ! joe ! look at me ! look at me . stop it . you need to stay in this bed . chelsea : hey , gabe . adam : hey . chelsea : what happened to your lip ? adam : oh , this ? no , this is -- this is nothing . just your fiancé . chelsea : billy hit you ? why ? adam : well , that 's the tricky part . he was actually defending the honor of a lady . his ex - wife . chelsea : why do you always do that ? why do you always try to make me worry about billy and victoria ? adam : you 're worried ? chelsea : why are you bleeding ? let 's start there . adam : well , i 'm bleeding because your fiancé decided it would be a good idea to hold hands with victoria instead of being there for you and connor . chelsea : hold hands figuratively , as in consoling her , or as in ... adam : physical contact . the way people hold hands . they were holding hands , chelsea . chelsea : we 're all adults here -- most of us . so , if billy was holding victoria 's hand , i 'm sure there was a reason for it . adam : maybe he just liked the way it felt . chelsea : they share children . they have a history together . adam : a history of holding hands ? chelsea : okay , no , you know what ? no , this is a bad idea because you , my friend , are way too invested . adam : and you do n't seem to care enough . where the hell was he when you needed him , huh ? when connor was at the hospital , where was he ? chelsea : billy felt awful that he was n't here for connor 's scare . adam : i 'm sure he felt terrible about it . in fact , i 'm pretty sure that 's probably what they were talking about , he and victoria , when he was whispering in her ear and gazing into her eyes . chelsea : oh , you are so annoying ! you cause trouble and create all this drama and play games , but then you go and do something decent , like drive connor and me to the hospital . so -- so what is it , gabe ? are you a jerk or not ? adam : jerk . chelsea : [ scoffs ] adam : 100 % . that 's not debatable . i 'm a jerk . but i care about you and i care about connor , and i was at the hospital . when you needed somebody , i was there . and i saw how worried you were for your son , how scared you were , and i was scared for both of you . but you know what ? i was honored to be there . billy does n't know how lucky he is . i 'm a jerk . but there 's nowhere that i 'd rather be than with you . abby : wait , are you saying i want stitch for myself ? billy : i did n't say it . abby : you did n't say it , but you said it , uncle billy . i would never chase after my sister 's boyfriend . billy : hmm . abby : summer was n't my sister . and it 's not like i did n't learn my lesson , okay ? stitch is off limits , and it does n't matter because i 'm not interested . we 're friends , and barely that . stitch : this is n't about me being home or not . do you really think sharon killed austin and courtney ? you think she 's that deranged , that violent ? victoria : i think the police do . stitch : [ chuckles ] yeah . and they 're -- they 're never wrong . the fact is , the killer 's probably still out there . he or she knows that the cover - up on austin 's death is blown . that makes two victims the police know about , not just courtney . the real killer could be feeling boxed in . abby could still be a target now more than ever . victoria : i feel like you 're saying all of this to avoid the issue . stitch : i thought the issue was me being out of the house . victoria : the reason behind it . look , we both know that i screwed up , the way that i reacted to kelly 's death . and then you needed some space , so i gave you some space , and maybe this is just all churning up , you know , you going to collect your sister 's remains and ... stitch : with abby , which you insisted on . right after you insisted i guard her at the club . victoria : because i could n't properly comfort you , and i could n't properly look after her . so it made sense that you two would just look out for each other , that 's all . stitch : maybe it made sense because you 're the one who wants distance from me . victoria : why would i want that ? billy : look , stitch , you were right . i did n't make life easy for kelly , and i 'm not going to try to apologize again , but ... i really am sorry . abby : you know what ? i am gon na go get a front - row seat at sharon 's arraignment . um , who 's with me ? and i do n't mean you because you are off duty . billy : i 'll pass . stitch : i may not be on duty , but i want to hear what sharon 's lawyer has to say . abby : okay . but , uh , for the record , i did n't ask you to come with me . billy : i may have just taken a punch , but you look like you got knocked out . joe : dylan , i was just telling avery here that she should go home and get some rest . her staying here overnight babysitting me is a little over the top . avery : i am not babysitting . and i told you i did get some rest . joe : yeah , we both did . now that paul knows that what happened on the balcony was nothing more than an accident , not avery 's fault at all . dylan : great . could i see you in the hallway ? avery : yeah , of course . i 'll be right back . dylan : i have a huge favor to ask . it 's time sensitive . sharon has no attorney , and her arraignment is right now . avery : and you want me to take the case ? dylan , you know that 's not realistic . i have no preparation . dylan : you 're a great attorney . you can wing it . avery : you do n't just wing a defense on a murder case . dylan : avery , it 's just a bail hearing . avery : i know , but still . dylan : `` still `` what ? you said you would consider representing sharon . avery : yes , i understand that , but it 's not a good time . dylan : because of joe . avery : dylan , joe may never walk again because of me . dylan : sharon may lose her freedom and her kid . avery : and i may lose my license for covering with paul about that tire iron . you know , i could still be called to testify , and i do n't know what i would say then . the best thing i can do is stay away from that case as long as possible . dylan : or stay by joe 's bedside . avery , you 're an attorney . you 're not a nurse . avery : what 's wrong ? michael : is everything okay ? need a nurse in here ! avery : joe ! oh , my god . joe , stop it ! stop ! stop ! joe . chelsea : that 's sweet . it 's crossing the line , but it 's sweet . adam : how is telling you the truth crossing the line ? chelsea , i told you how i felt about you . chelsea : i - i know . i do know . but so does billy . [ chuckles ] and that 's probably why he punched you in the face , okay ? so , whatever you think you saw between billy and victoria , it 's probably all in your imagination . so i 'm gon na go . adam : you 're gon na go ? chelsea : yep . adam : i make it hard for you to be around me , right ? chelsea : you certainly do n't make it easy . adam : because i tell you the truth . chelsea : because you do n't respect the fact that i 'm engaged . adam : i do n't think your fiancé respects the fact that he 's engaged to you . chelsea : oh , my god . it 's like your brain has one track , one track only . adam : think about connor . you really gon na do this to connor ? chelsea : do what to connor ? adam : you gon na have him grow up with a stepfather that thinks he 's the spawn of satan ? chelsea : watch it . billy adores my son . adam : yeah , for now he does . what happens when connor starts to look like adam ? my god , act like him , walk like him , talk like him ? it 's bound to happen , right ? it 's his son . billy hates adam . everywhere he turns , he 's gon na see adam . just earlier today , you know what he did ? he accused me of acting just like him . and correct me if i 'm wrong , but i do n't think he meant it kindly . chelsea : they 're just words . adam : they 're just words . they 're just words . until i punched him . chelsea : wait , wait , whoa , whoa , what ? you -- you said billy punched you . adam : he did . in the interest of full disclosure , i should probably add that he punched me after i punched him . chelsea : oh , for god sakes , gabe ! what is wrong with you ? ! why did n't you tell me that when you -- ugh , of course you did n't . [ sighs ] did you hurt him ? adam : i think i did a little bit . it was more of a draw than anything . i would n't really worry about him . you know , he 's at the club . he 's with victoria . they 're probably holding hands or something . chelsea : oh , my god . adam : chelsea . chelsea : see you . you 're hilarious . you really are . [ sighs ] [ door slams ] billy : ow . victoria : too bad . billy : hmm . nice bedside manner . victoria : i ca n't seem to do anything right today , evidently . billy : i was kidding . victoria : ben was n't . billy : new dance partner , new dance steps , remember ? victoria : yeah , but i just always seem to be one beat behind or one beat ahead or have the whole dance entirely wrong . billy : i , uh , wish i knew the right thing to say to you . but i believe in you , for whatever that 's worth . victoria : that was the right thing to say . billy : what do you know ? i do n't suck at everything . victoria : it 's a gift being able to say the right thing , and you -- you 're just that way . we can even talk about our new relationships and we do n't want to kill each other . it 's kind of like we 're speaking the same language . billy : so we 've moved from dancing to language . hang on . let me make sure i do n't mix up my metaphors here . victoria : [ chuckles ] i do n't want to laugh . billy : sorry . sorry . you can go back to saying nice things about me now . victoria : it 's just like you always know what to say to me . it 's like you know what i 'm thinking , so you know what i want to hear . billy : trick 's in the eyes . you know it 's all there . you just ... have to know how to translate . victoria : so , what are my eyes saying ? billy : [ sighs ] joe : look , i 'm fine . i just -- avery : you should n't have been getting out of bed . i did n't know he 'd gotten up . thank goodness you came . i heard the alarm at the nurses ' station . do n't get up again , mr. clark . avery : joe , if that was an experiment , it 's too soon . you need to give your body time to heal . did you get hurt when you fell ? joe : i 'm just tired . avery : okay . then rest . joe : go home . avery : no . joe : avery , please . avery : joe , you are in pain . why did n't you tell the doctor ? joe : [ voice breaking ] it 's not pain that i feel . it 's fear . [ sighs ] i 'm not that guy , avery . i 'm not that strong . avery : listen to me . there is no prognosis yet . this is one day . one hour , one moment . you can hang on for one moment . joe : and if i ca n't ? avery : then i hang on for you . dylan : [ sighs ] michael : you want to go in there ? dylan : no , once was enough . listening to joe clark dodge the fact that he put himself in that bed by making a move on avery . michael : well , at least avery 's not facing charges . dylan : no , but sharon is . and it 's bad . she 's really up against it . michael : oh , that 's right . her arraignment 's today , is n't it ? dylan : no , actually , it 's right now . she 's got no attorney . she 's got nobody representing her . so ... i got to ask . will you take sharon on ? sharon : your honor , my attorney should be here any minute . judge : does this attorney have a name ? i 'll call for a brief recess . [ bangs gavel ] very brief . bailiff : that 's as far as you go . abby : hmm . waiting for me so you can take another crack at my head ? sharon : abby , i 'm really sorry that happened to you . abby : yeah , i bet . sharon : i 'm not the person who attacked you . i swear . the idea that i would put noah through this , it 's absurd ! abby : well , the police do n't agree . sharon : the police see what the killer wants them to see . i am being framed . abby : that is a fascinating story , but complete garbage . i 've seen two corpses . i 've -- i 've been stalked and threatened , and i will finally get a good night 's sleep when you are off the streets and in a cell . sharon : there is no direct evidence linking me to austin or courtney 's death . and whoever my attorney is -- abby : `` whoever `` ? you do n't know ? sharon : i had to fire my public defender because he was incompetent ! abby : uh , no , because he knew you were guilty . sharon : even he was sure that my bail would be set at a reasonable amount . abby : you said he was incompetent . but the assistant district attorney better not be . i 'm gon na go claim my seat . i wish there was a popcorn stand . and do n't stand too close to her . she could pull a weapon out of anywhere . stitch : how you holding up ? sharon : stitch , i 'm innocent . dylan believes me . and you know his instincts are excellent . stitch : yeah . bailiff : court 's back in session . judge : so , where is your attorney ? sharon : i do n't know , your honor . judge : then we 'll have to move it along . once your attorney gets around to you , he or she can try to get a bail adjustment in a few days . how do you plead regarding the charges ? sharon : not guilty , your honor . judge : counselor ? ms. sandborne : your honor , based on the accused 's history , the state requests bail be denied and the accused remanded into custody . avery : just in case . joe : look , if dylan 's outside waiting for u , you guys should just go home . avery : uh , no , he actually stepped out . um , he had something important to deal with . joe : he 's not happy you 're in re with me . avery : it 's not an issue . joe : look , if you two are fighting over me , i -- trust me , i do n't consider this a win . avery : i know that . and we 're not fighting , and it 's not about you . it was a discussion . he wants me to represent a friend of his in court , and i declined . joe : look , if you 're not taking cases so that you can bring me ice chips -- avery : i am not taking this case for reasons of integrity . dylan is so sure that sharon is innocent , and i 'm not convinced that she did n't murder my niece 's husband . ms. sandborne : the prosecution has been reminded that mrs. newman is a flight risk . she once avoided prosecution by allowing her family to believe she was dead while hiding out in new mexico . sharon : i was found innocent of that . ms. sandborne : but you were found not guilty of the charges . but you 're definitely not innocent of leaving town . judge : ms. sandborne is right . i see no reason to allow bail in this case . michael : your honor , michael baldwin . my apologies for the delay . uh ... may it please the court , i would like to speak on behalf of my client , sharon newman . cane : and with local businesses being hacked and credit information being stolen nationwide , we have to run a system check to bolster your cyber security . lauren : uh - huh . cane : because once the system is broken ... lauren : right . then the trust is broken and it 's impossible to get back . cane : okay . why do i get the feeling that we are not talking about computers ? lauren : let 's go back to talking about computers , okay ? uh , this is your baby . you run with it . cane : what 's the matter ? what 's on your mind ? lauren : nothing . cane : you know , you are a very bad liar . lauren : [ chuckles ] cane : what 's wrong ? lauren : michael . cane : is he still in pain ? lauren : would he tell me if he is ? i mean , you saw him . the thought of spending three days away with me is like hell on earth to him . cane : i do n't believe that . lauren : it 's true . i know my husband . and he 's pulling away from me . chelsea : hey . i 'm , uh , looking for billy . have you seen ... ? lauren : this is not why you came , right , to hear my troubles and woes ? cane : you are sitting at a table with a veteran of the cancer wars , do you know that ? okay ? it 's not about all about whether you love michael more or whether he loves you more . it 's not about that . lauren : we just -- we 've been through so much . i ... [ sniffles ] i really thought we had healed . cane : i know . i know . but when you 're with someone who has this disease , it 's -- it 's hard 'cause you sit here and you have all these feelings and you have all these fears and you want to say something , but you do n't . and when you do , you suck it up . i understand . i really do . lauren : i know . it 's because what they 're going through is so much more than just , you know , me being scared . cane : this is not a competition about your fear versus his fear . lauren : i know he can beat this cancer . you know , his doctors are good . he 's so strong .

yeah . yeah , bring it . stitch : hey . what the hell is wrong with you ? ! huh ? ! you -- you and your brother did n't kick my sister around enough when she was alive ? now you got to do it when she 's dead ? ! billy : stitch , i did n't -- i did n't -- victoria : you did n't know . you had no way of knowing . ben , he did n't know . abby : are you okay ? additional sponsorship billy : ben , i am sorry , man . i - i lost my head . i know it 's no excuse . stitch : oh , save it , man , okay ? ! i do n't give a damn about what you thought or how sorry you are ! abby : why were you two beating each other up ? billy : bingham here may be new in town , but knows being compared to adam newman is never a good thing . abby : that 's what you said to him ? `` hi , you remind me of a guy who 's universally loathed ? `` since we all work together , can you two stop acting like idiots ? adam : sure . no , the family business is much more important than your fiancée or her son , right ? victoria : you do n't know any of us well enough to be throwing accusations . billy : but he does . he knows chelsea better than any of us . and he 's had a great time stalking her . adam : what the hell do you care , huh ? the more time i spend with her , the more time you can spend with your ex - wife , chasing her around . who , by the way , does n't seem to mind . billy : ask me again why i hate that guy . excuse me . abby : you 're a mess . billy : yes , i am . abby : that guy is a tool . billy : yes , he is . abby : but if you 're chasing victoria ... billy : i 'm not -- i 'm not chasing vic -- look , bingham wants me to be with victoria so that he can have a shot with chelsea , or so he thinks . abby : that guy is bizarre , but it does n't mean he 's wrong about everything . billy : i 'm not chasing victoria . or are you saying that you think he 's got a shot with chelsea ? abby : no one would blame you if you 're not over victoria . billy : do you remember when you said that you were gon na stop trying to put me and victoria back together ? that was a good thing . abby : i 'm not trying to push you guys together . i tried , and i realized it was ineffective . but if you 're saying that 's what you want deep down in your secret soul ... billy : abby , i do n't have a secret soul . i wear everything on my sleeve out in the open . you know that . abby : do you want victoria back ? because i can help you . billy : you can help ? you want me to get back together with vick , huh ? and why would that be ? might it be so that stitch is available to move on with somebody else ? stitch : not quite the welcome home i was expecting . victoria : i know . that gabriel 's turned out to be kind of a loose cannon . he 's nothing like what nick described him to be in boarding school . he 's just ... picking fights and throwing around these ridiculous accusations . stitch : maybe -- maybe he 's right . victoria : about what part ? stitch : billy 's been gone and chelsea 's alone , maybe even lonely , and meanwhile , i was out of town . victoria : yeah , you had to go for kelly 's sake . stitch : yeah , and before that , i was at the club instead of home with you . victoria : you did that for abby 's sake and for my sake because she 's my sister . you did the right thing both times . stitch : right for me or right for us ? are we fine , victoria , you and me ? victoria : i think we 're both pretty sure that we 're not fine right now , but we will be . sharon 's been arrested . it means abby 's safe now . so you can come home . stitch : problem is , i 'm not sure that 's true . victoria : not sure that abby 's safe or not sure that you want to come home ? cane : so , whatever your wife needs , i am at her service . lauren : so , let 's -- let 's just say i need a few days off . cane : mm - hmm . lauren : like , three . cane : done . lauren : done . did you hear ? he said done . cane : i said done . michael : okay , i appreciate your confidence , but fenmore 's is not chancellor . there 's a lot to get to know . lauren : the man has twins . he has dealt with jill . cane : and do n't forget colin . please do n't forget my father . lauren : as much as we 'd like to . cane : there you go . so , fenmore 's will be safe . lauren : right , and if there 's any emergencies , honestly , you can call me . cane : which i will not do , so go . go . be happy . go be together . go . michael : all right . it 's agreed . lauren : good ! when do we go ? michael : as soon as i check with avery . lauren : all right . michael : just to be sure , all right ? i 'll keep you posted . joe : as i was just telling my chaperone , now i ca n't still feel my legs , so the sooner we get me into therapy , the sooner i think we can get them back in working order . we 'll get the tests back , mr. clark , and we 'll take it from there . one step at a time . avery : thank you . joe : did you hear that ? one step at a time . news flash , doc -- that 's the problem ! i ca n't take a step ! avery : i think he 's being aspirational , thinking taking actual steps . look , i understand your eagerness in all this , but you have to do what the doctor says and wait . joe : wait for what ? i know i can walk . it 's not a matter of if . it 's a matter of when . and it needs to be now ! i 'm not paralyzed , avery ! avery : nobody is saying you are , joe . i 'm not saying that . the doctors are n't saying that . we just need time . joe : no , i do n't have time ! avery : what are you doing ? stop it ! joe ! look at me ! look at me . stop it . you need to stay in this bed . chelsea : hey , gabe . adam : hey . chelsea : what happened to your lip ? adam : oh , this ? no , this is -- this is nothing . just your fiancé . chelsea : billy hit you ? why ? adam : well , that 's the tricky part . he was actually defending the honor of a lady . his ex - wife . chelsea : why do you always do that ? why do you always try to make me worry about billy and victoria ? adam : you 're worried ? chelsea : why are you bleeding ? let 's start there . adam : well , i 'm bleeding because your fiancé decided it would be a good idea to hold hands with victoria instead of being there for you and connor . chelsea : hold hands figuratively , as in consoling her , or as in ... adam : physical contact . the way people hold hands . they were holding hands , chelsea . chelsea : we 're all adults here -- most of us . so , if billy was holding victoria 's hand , i 'm sure there was a reason for it . adam : maybe he just liked the way it felt . chelsea : they share children . they have a history together . adam : a history of holding hands ? chelsea : okay , no , you know what ? no , this is a bad idea because you , my friend , are way too invested . adam : and you do n't seem to care enough . where the hell was he when you needed him , huh ? when connor was at the hospital , where was he ? chelsea : billy felt awful that he was n't here for connor 's scare . adam : i 'm sure he felt terrible about it . in fact , i 'm pretty sure that 's probably what they were talking about , he and victoria , when he was whispering in her ear and gazing into her eyes . chelsea : oh , you are so annoying ! you cause trouble and create all this drama and play games , but then you go and do something decent , like drive connor and me to the hospital . so -- so what is it , gabe ? are you a jerk or not ? adam : jerk . chelsea : [ scoffs ] adam : 100 % . that 's not debatable . i 'm a jerk . but i care about you and i care about connor , and i was at the hospital . when you needed somebody , i was there . and i saw how worried you were for your son , how scared you were , and i was scared for both of you . but you know what ? i was honored to be there . billy does n't know how lucky he is . i 'm a jerk . but there 's nowhere that i 'd rather be than with you . abby : wait , are you saying i want stitch for myself ? billy : i did n't say it . abby : you did n't say it , but you said it , uncle billy . i would never chase after my sister 's boyfriend . billy : hmm . abby : summer was n't my sister . and it 's not like i did n't learn my lesson , okay ? stitch is off limits , and it does n't matter because i 'm not interested . we 're friends , and barely that . stitch : this is n't about me being home or not . do you really think sharon killed austin and courtney ? you think she 's that deranged , that violent ? victoria : i think the police do . stitch : [ chuckles ] yeah . and they 're -- they 're never wrong . the fact is , the killer 's probably still out there . he or she knows that the cover - up on austin 's death is blown . that makes two victims the police know about , not just courtney . the real killer could be feeling boxed in . abby could still be a target now more than ever . victoria : i feel like you 're saying all of this to avoid the issue . stitch : i thought the issue was me being out of the house . victoria : the reason behind it . look , we both know that i screwed up , the way that i reacted to kelly 's death . and then you needed some space , so i gave you some space , and maybe this is just all churning up , you know , you going to collect your sister 's remains and ... stitch : with abby , which you insisted on . right after you insisted i guard her at the club . victoria : because i could n't properly comfort you , and i could n't properly look after her . so it made sense that you two would just look out for each other , that 's all . stitch : maybe it made sense because you 're the one who wants distance from me . victoria : why would i want that ? billy : look , stitch , you were right . i did n't make life easy for kelly , and i 'm not going to try to apologize again , but ... i really am sorry . abby : you know what ? i am gon na go get a front - row seat at sharon 's arraignment . um , who 's with me ? and i do n't mean you because you are off duty . billy : i 'll pass . stitch : i may not be on duty , but i want to hear what sharon 's lawyer has to say . abby : okay . but , uh , for the record , i did n't ask you to come with me . billy : i may have just taken a punch , but you look like you got knocked out . joe : dylan , i was just telling avery here that she should go home and get some rest . her staying here overnight babysitting me is a little over the top . avery : i am not babysitting . and i told you i did get some rest . joe : yeah , we both did . now that paul knows that what happened on the balcony was nothing more than an accident , not avery 's fault at all . dylan : great . could i see you in the hallway ? avery : yeah , of course . i 'll be right back . dylan : i have a huge favor to ask . it 's time sensitive . sharon has no attorney , and her arraignment is right now . avery : and you want me to take the case ? dylan , you know that 's not realistic . i have no preparation . dylan : you 're a great attorney . you can wing it . avery : you do n't just wing a defense on a murder case . dylan : avery , it 's just a bail hearing . avery : i know , but still . dylan : `` still `` what ? you said you would consider representing sharon . avery : yes , i understand that , but it 's not a good time . dylan : because of joe . avery : dylan , joe may never walk again because of me . dylan : sharon may lose her freedom and her kid . avery : and i may lose my license for covering with paul about that tire iron . you know , i could still be called to testify , and i do n't know what i would say then . the best thing i can do is stay away from that case as long as possible . dylan : or stay by joe 's bedside . avery , you 're an attorney . you 're not a nurse . avery : what 's wrong ? michael : is everything okay ? need a nurse in here ! avery : joe ! oh , my god . joe , stop it ! stop ! stop ! joe . chelsea : that 's sweet . it 's crossing the line , but it 's sweet . adam : how is telling you the truth crossing the line ? chelsea , i told you how i felt about you . chelsea : i - i know . i do know . but so does billy . [ chuckles ] and that 's probably why he punched you in the face , okay ? so , whatever you think you saw between billy and victoria , it 's probably all in your imagination . so i 'm gon na go . adam : you 're gon na go ? chelsea : yep . adam : i make it hard for you to be around me , right ? chelsea : you certainly do n't make it easy . adam : because i tell you the truth . chelsea : because you do n't respect the fact that i 'm engaged . adam : i do n't think your fiancé respects the fact that he 's engaged to you . chelsea : oh , my god . it 's like your brain has one track , one track only . adam : think about connor . you really gon na do this to connor ? chelsea : do what to connor ? adam : you gon na have him grow up with a stepfather that thinks he 's the spawn of satan ? chelsea : watch it . billy adores my son . adam : yeah , for now he does . what happens when connor starts to look like adam ? my god , act like him , walk like him , talk like him ? it 's bound to happen , right ? it 's his son . billy hates adam . everywhere he turns , he 's gon na see adam . just earlier today , you know what he did ? he accused me of acting just like him . and correct me if i 'm wrong , but i do n't think he meant it kindly . chelsea : they 're just words . adam : they 're just words . they 're just words . until i punched him . chelsea : wait , wait , whoa , whoa , what ? you -- you said billy punched you . adam : he did . in the interest of full disclosure , i should probably add that he punched me after i punched him . chelsea : oh , for god sakes , gabe ! what is wrong with you ? ! why did n't you tell me that when you -- ugh , of course you did n't . [ sighs ] did you hurt him ? adam : i think i did a little bit . it was more of a draw than anything . i would n't really worry about him . you know , he 's at the club . he 's with victoria . they 're probably holding hands or something . chelsea : oh , my god . adam : chelsea . chelsea : see you . you 're hilarious . you really are .

[ scene_break ] neil : well ? michael : uh , they found devon 's prints . neil : where ? michael : on the roll of duct tape , which is understandable , since he had access to the break room . neil : what about the trash bags ? michael : no prints . neil : so what else does the report say ? anything we can work with there ? michael : the roll of tape was used in the murder . neil : are they sure ? michael : yeah , `` scientific certainty . `` neil : how can they tell something like that ? michael : ah , well , um , you examine it under a microscope . you compare it with the tape used to wrap up the body , and uh , it 's a match . there 's no doubt . it is the exact roll used in the murder . [ scene_break ] jt : hey . paul : the results are in . i 'm waiting for word . jt : so we still do n't know who touched the tape ? paul : no , but let 's hope the police can verify someone besides brad . jt : yeah , where are you ? paul : the coffeehouse . jt : all right , i 'm on my way . [ scene_break ] professor korbel : good morning . colleen : hi . lily : hi , um , we were just talking about you . professor korbel : anything interesting ? colleen : oh , lily was just a - asking about your class . professor korbel : hmm , interested in signing up next semester ? lily : um , sorry . would you excuse me ? professor korbel : so ... how are you ? colleen : um , i -- i need more coffee . professor korbel : okay . lily : why did you give up on devon 's case ? paul : who said i gave up ? lily : well , did n't you ? paul : no , i quit . lily : like there 's a difference . paul : look , lily , i 'm sorry , but it 's very complicated . lily : okay , so i 'll just tell devon that when he gets convicted . that `` paul bailed on you , because it was complicated , and the reason why you 're in prison is because it was complicated . `` paul : it became a conflict of interest . lily : how ? paul : jt and i both work for newman , and it 's a possibility that the police will investigate their employees . lily : you expect me to believe that 's the reason ? i can tell by looking at you that it 's not . [ scene_break ] jack : uh , if you 'll excuse me , i see a business associate i want to say a quick hello to . sharon : sure . brad : i did n't mean to make things awkward . sharon : no , no , not at all . it 's fine . it 's good to see you , too . brad : yeah , it 's been awhile . sharon : yeah , well , that 's what happens when you get married . brad : how are things going with jack ? sharon : good , good . um , you know , he 's really helped me through a lot . brad : hmm , sounds more like a therapist , not a lover . victoria : brad , hi . brad : hey , honey . victoria : your mother 's ready to order . brad : great . sharon : oh , your mother 's here . brad : yeah , well , would you like to meet her ? sharon : uh , sure , yeah , i 'd love to . brad : go ahead . brad : mom , i want you to meet sharon newman . sharon , my mother rebecca . sharon : it 's really nice to meet you . i 've heard so much about you . rebecca : i 'm so glad you 're all right , dear . sharon : oh , well , thank you and , um , thanks to your son . jack : i think our table is ready . uh , i 'm sorry . i 'm jack abbott . rebecca : i 'm rebecca . jack : how do you do , rebecca ? brad : mom , jack owns nvp retreats . they carry the newman line of cosmetics . jack : wait , mom ? i did n't know you had a mother . brad : everyone has a mother , jack . now if you 'll excuse us . [ scene_break ] neil : hey , so , michael , who else 's fingerprints were found , man ? michael : uh , well , your entire family 's , brad carlton , jack abbott , kevin fisher and one unidentified set of prints . neil : wow , does n't really help much , does it ? michael : well , uh , brad and jack work here . they could have touched the tape at any time . neil : right . michael : most of the other fingerprints have a reasonable explanation , including devon 's . i just do n't get why the killer put the tape back in the break room . neil : maybe because it was a newman employee or carmen was murdered here . michael : or both . [ scene_break ] paul : i 'm not lying to you , lily . lily : well , then why would n't you want to see the case through , knowing that my brother could go to prison ? paul : look , i understand , but please believe me when i tell you that devon is in very good hands , okay ? now i ca n't discuss this any further . professor korbel : nothing for me , huh ? colleen : sorry . professor korbel : it 's a joke . colleen : oh . um , about , last night -- lily : i 'm sorry , but , colleen , i really need to talk to you . professor korbel : it 's okay . i should go . see you later ? colleen : see ya . lily : man , i can not believe paul ! when i asked why they abandoned devon , he gave me this lame excuse about a conflict of interest and because he does work for newman , blah , blah , blah . it made me sick . i could n't even listen . hello , i 'm having -- i 'm having a breakdown here ! colleen : you 're not the only one , lily . look , i kissed professor korbel .

[ scene_break ] neil : pretty disturbing . michael : yes , i agree . it 's very disturbing , but this could help devon 's case . i mean , if the murder happened here at newman enterprises , that means we have more suspects , and we have a better opportunity to deflect attention away from devon . neil : right , of course . uh , um , uh , when do you think the body was moved to indigo ? michael : what we do know is that carmen 's body was not found until the day after she was killed . neil : leaving a big window of time . michael : and anyone who was in the break room during that window of time could have used the tape to transport the body . neil : right . [ scene_break ] jack : i 'm ashley 's brother jack . you would know about ashley . she and brad were married . brad : jack , we were about to order . jack : she did n't know about you , though , certainly not while they were together . rebecca : unfortunately , you 're right . i was living abroad -- jack : i did n't even think she even knew you were alive , at least she never shared that with me . victoria : is ashley in the habit of telling you every detail of her life ? jack : i would hardly call this lovely lady a `` detail . `` brad : i think we should all adjourn for breakfast . jack : so how is it being back with your family ? rebecca : it 's a dream come true .

[ scene_break ] michael : the list is growing by the minute . the more suspects , the harder it would be to convict devon . neil : okay , so then this is good news for his case . michael : yeah , it 'll put a great big dent in bardwell 's theory , but we 're not there yet . neil : because that break room is open to just about anybody and everybody . michael : yeah , and there are no security cameras . neil : do you think that whoever did this left the tape here on purpose ? michael : well , it 's a perfect place to gather fingerprints . neil : or maybe the killer wore gloves , trying to set someone else up . michael : or possibly , the killer did n't think the murder would be connected with newman enterprises and thought it would be the perfect place to ditch the evidence . neil : yeah ? michael : oh , hello , mr . skeptical . i hope you got your copy of the report . will : yeah , i should hope so . michael : yeah . you know how i hate gloating , but you have to admit i hit the mark on this one . will : ah , your so - called breakthrough evidence does n't prove anything . michael : oh , you 're right . i only found an object directly linked to the murder . that 's all . no big deal there . will : until you show me some valid evidence that translates into a solid theory , i 'll continue to move forward with my indictment .

[ scene_break ] professor korbel : the cathedral had become the sublime expression of beauty in western architecture , so why festoon it with hideous gargoyles ? slide . now it 's a common misconception that gargoyles ' only purpose was to ward off evil , sacred scarecrows protecting the faithful or conversely , educators warning an illiterate populace of the heavy price for transgressions against the church . and perhaps this is the origin of the phrase `` ugly as sin . `` extra credit to any linguists who can look that up for me . however , in fact , the gargoyle 's original function was far more plebian . they were waterspouts for the many gutters atop the flying buttresses . picture a heavy rain with water streaming from the mouths of these grotesqueries . water was just flung outwards away from the building , protecting the stone and mortar from wear and tear . now who can name some of the more common gargoyle motifs used during the gothic period ? okay , i guess i 'm going to have to pick on somebody . colleen ? colleen : uh , what was the question ?

[ scene_break ] michael : maybe you ought to consider dropping the charges against devon hamilton . will : why ? his fingerprints are on the new evidence . michael : yeah , well , there are other suspects to consider . the duct tape , the trash bags , they were accessible to any number of other people . will : yeah , including devon , who was smart enough to leave it in a public place to accumulate prints ? michael : what about brad carlton ? his fingerprints were on the tape , too . he was outside of carmen mesta 's suite around the time she was killed . that 's pretty compelling . will : you know , you can theorize all you want , counselor , but all signs still point to devon . the evidence against him is overwhelming .

[ scene_break ] elizabeth : hey , do you have a minute ? zander : i got all night . consider me your captive audience . just do n't bring up anything about how i need to move on from emily or how she 's in love with another man . elizabeth : actually , i was going to mention that for you to have a prayer of being friends with emily again , maybe you should lay off the people she cares about . zander : yeah , that sounds familiar too . elizabeth : well , then maybe you ought to listen , zander . look , ric did some really terrible things to me and i thought that i would never , ever be able to forgive him . but look at us now , we 're married because he was strong enough to change . he was strong enough to let go of his hatred and his need for revenge and i ca n't help but think how good it would be for everyone concerned if you could just take a lesson from him .

[ scene_break ] alexis : i 'll push for a speedy trial , you keep zander believing that nikolas will be convicted and then at the last minute , you throw the case . if you so choose , you can drop an injunction barring zander from any contact with the baby based on his police record and the fact that he 's working currently for a known mob figure . ric : i thought zander was your friend . alexis : nikolas is innocent . ric : all right . one condition , though . alexis : what 's that ? ric : do n't tell elizabeth . alexis : deal . [ scene_break ] nikolas : look , i know that zander 's stalling to sign custody of the baby over to you and ric and i just -- elizabeth : and you 're afraid that he 's going to lean on ric and make things worse for you ? i ca n't speak for zander , ok , and god only knows what he might try , but i can assure you ric would never go along with it . he 's changed , nikolas . what is it that you wanted to tell me ? nikolas : uh -- i -- i thought it might calm things down a little if -- if emily left town for a few days . so if you do n't hear from her , that 's why . elizabeth : oh . well , that 's good . it 's probably for the best . ok . well , thanks for letting me know . take care . nikolas : yeah . alexis : we 're out of here . nikolas : all right .

[ scene_break ] elizabeth : hey , do you have a minute ? zander : i got all night . consider me your captive audience . just do n't bring up anything about how i need to move on from emily or how she 's in love with another man . elizabeth : actually , i was going to mention that for you to have a prayer of being friends with emily again , maybe you should lay off the people she cares about . zander : yeah , that sounds familiar too . elizabeth : well , then maybe you ought to listen , zander . look , ric did some really terrible things to me and i thought that i would never , ever be able to forgive him . but look at us now , we 're married because he was strong enough to change . he was strong enough to let go of his hatred and his need for revenge and i ca n't help but think how good it would be for everyone concerned if you could just take a lesson from him . [ scene_break ] ric : and once the paperwork is finished , your client is free to go . alexis : thanks , that 's very generous of you . ric : you 're welcome . alexis : too generous . ric : what does it take to win with you , huh , alexis ? alexis : the truth usually does it . ric : you know what ? i do n't know where this is going , but i 'm really pressed for time . alexis : well , make time . i 'm just getting started .

[ faith gasps ] lorenzo : carly -- carly ? it 's me , lorenzo . i 'm going to get you out of here , but you have to trust me . can you do that ? carly ? [ scene_break ] alexis : when you kidnapped carly , it 's because you wanted her baby , right ? ric : wait , wait -- what does this have to do with anything ? alexis : well , and sadly enough , you find yourself right back where you started . i mean , even you can see that and i want you to know that on some level , i can actually understand that you want your family and you will do whatever it takes . ric : what 's your point ? alexis : well , my point is , is that elizabeth is pregnant with zander 's baby and zander has promised to sign over custody to you . and i 'm guessing that he has n't done that yet because he 's waiting for you to find nikolas guilty of cody mccall 's murder . that way , zander gets emily , you and elizabeth get to keep the baby and then my nephew -- he gets to go to prison , which is completely unacceptable to me . ric : that 's quite a theory . alexis : i 'm not finished . there 's a more likely suspect -- a jewel fence that you have n't made any attempt to look for at all . i do n't think that i have to tell you just how much trouble you are going to be in -- both professionally and personally -- if it comes out that you are tampering with evidence in order to convict an innocent man in exchange for a signature on custody papers . i do n't know why i 'm giving you a choice . i have no idea why i 'm being so , so nice to you , but you can either risk me talking to a judge , or we can make a deal . [ scene_break ] elizabeth : hi . nikolas : hi . elizabeth : congratulations . i heard you 're being released -- not that you should 've been arrested in the first place . nikolas : tell that to the judge . elizabeth : i know you 'll be found innocent . nikolas : it 's not a given , liz . there 's still a lot of fabricated evidence against me . elizabeth : despite what you might think of ric , he 's only doing his job . see you around . nikolas : yeah . liz , wait . there 's -- there 's something you do n't know . [ scene_break ] alexis : i 'll push for a speedy trial , you keep zander believing that nikolas will be convicted and then at the last minute , you throw the case . if you so choose , you can drop an injunction barring zander from any contact with the baby based on his police record and the fact that he 's working currently for a known mob figure . ric : i thought zander was your friend . alexis : nikolas is innocent . ric : all right . one condition , though . alexis : what 's that ? ric : do n't tell elizabeth . alexis : deal . [ scene_break ] nikolas : look , i know that zander 's stalling to sign custody of the baby over to you and ric and i just -- elizabeth : and you 're afraid that he 's going to lean on ric and make things worse for you ? i ca n't speak for zander , ok , and god only knows what he might try , but i can assure you ric would never go along with it . he 's changed , nikolas . what is it that you wanted to tell me ? nikolas : uh -- i -- i thought it might calm things down a little if -- if emily left town for a few days . so if you do n't hear from her , that 's why . elizabeth : oh . well , that 's good . it 's probably for the best . ok . well , thanks for letting me know . take care . nikolas : yeah . alexis : we 're out of here . nikolas : all right .

adam : jack , i 'm sorry . that was n't supposed to be you . if i had any idea that you were alive or that you needed my help , i would have ... helped you . i do n't know how you made it back here . i do n't know where you were . i 'm glad you 're back . you know , when i , um -- when i first came back , you were -- you were the only person i could trust . and now here you are . you 've made it back only to walk into a bullet that was n't intended for you . um ... so , hey , there 's a woman that , uh -- that called me . she , uh -- she knows who i am . and i do n't know why you told her , jack . i do n't know if you trust her . i do n't know if you were backed into a corner , but i can not have people running around that know who i am . it can destroy everything that i 've worked for . and i hope that you remember our deal when you wake up , our deal to keep quiet . jack , there are so many things that have happened , so many things i have to catch you up on . this , um -- victor hiring this marco thug , uh , the merger , you laying here like this . i do n't really care who victor thought he was shooting . he did this to you , and i 'm gon na make sure he pays for this and for everything he 's ever done . and that 's gon na start today . phyllis : look at gabe pleading with jack for something . it 's almost like he 's begging him to stay alive or ... making a promise . wonder if this is all for my benefit , if it 's real . ashley : i do n't know . it 's kind of hard to tell , is n't it ? gabe is so aggressively unpleasant with everybody except for jack . phyllis : oh , his father , as he likes to keep reminding us . ashley : yeah , you know what ? i do n't buy it . i just do n't . there 's too many weird things about it . i mean , why did jack keep that relationship a secret for so long ? why was gabe chasing after billy 's fiancée ? what was he doing strolling through the park , finding jack shot ? phyllis : you heard what nikki said , did n't you ? ashley : yes . that victor was in the park before jack was shot . yeah , i obsessed about that one all night long . phyllis : well , victor is denying all of that , but he was there at the scene . ashley : so was gabe , after jack was shot . too many coincidences . i do n't think it 's gon na hold up under scrutiny . phyllis : yeah , well , when i scrutinize too long , i feel like i want to -- i need to stay calm . for jack . so , trying to scrutinize calmly , maybe gabe and victor are in on this together . gabriel can call himself an abbott . that does n't mean he is one . ashley : by the way , billy told me jack agreed to a dna test , and the results should be back any day . phyllis : good . then we 'll know who gabriel is and maybe what side he 's gon na choose -- jack 's or victor 's . [ scene_break ] [ knock on door ] nick : dad ? victor : come in , son . nick : i came by to find out what the hell happened last night . are you the prime suspect in jack 's shooting ? victor : paul just asked some questions about the evening . nick : you were interrogated ? victor : we had a conversation , then i went home . nick : did you do it ? victor : did i what ? have you ever known me to shoot someone in cold blood ? have you ever known me to carry a gun ? nick : that 's not an answer . victor : well , it 's an absurd question . nick : i know jack had you arrested for embezzlement . victor : son , i have been betrayed before by someone far closer to me than jack abbott . nick : well , maybe jack finally pushed you too far ... and you pushed back . [ pounding ] marisa : [ sighs ] noah : hey . guess you were tired . marisa : [ sighs ] it 's been a long month . sleeping on that uncomfortable couch was the first good sleep i 've had in a long time . noah : i came to check on you when i got in . was n't sure if you 'd rushed off . marisa : where would i rush to ? noah : right . 'cause of the fight with your boyfriend . marisa : exactly . noah : see , thing is , marisa , it 's funny . i asked some people that lived near the fountain if they heard a couple fighting last night . did n't hear a thing . marisa : so it did n't happen ? noah : not according to them . marisa : who does that ? asking people , `` hey , did you hear a man screaming at a woman last night ? `` noah : said you 'd call your boyfriend , too . did you ? marisa : because you think i owe him peace of mind . what about what he owes me ? and why do you care ? noah : 'cause i gave you a place to stay last night , i helped you out , and you 're not being straight with me . marisa : [ sighs ] noah : look , i 'm gon na tell you something . i 'm really tired of being misled , taken advantage of 'cause i 'm a nice guy . marisa : [ sighs ] you were right about last night . okay ? it was n't just a stupid fight with a stupid boyfriend . i 'm in real trouble . kevin : and then there 's jack , on tape , going in the same direction just a couple minutes later . paul : right . and this is from the security camera outside the coffee house ? kevin : right . minutes before jack was shot . and look -- it 's not like he 's in sweats like he was running laps and he came back . paul : no . and there does n't seem to be a glitch in the recording , either . kevin : no , no . and it would n't accidentally splice together two different nights . this is clearly from the same night . paul : mm - hmm . well , we 're gon na have to look into it . i 'm not exactly sure what it means . kevin : [ sighs ] paul : until jack wakes up , i really ca n't question him directly . so , right now , the priority is finding out who put the bullet in him . kevin : yeah , but you have to admit -- this is so strange , right ? paul : well , i 'll give you that much . but you know what i really think is strange is the fact that you 're working here again . [ chuckles ] is your suspension really over ? kevin : oh , it 's over . admit it , boss -- you missed me . [ cell phone rings ] paul : yeah , yeah , maybe a little bit . kevin : [ chuckles ] paul : yeah , williams . right . the ballistics are in on the gun i found in victor 's office . here we go . all right . thank you . wow . kevin : oh , by all means , keep me waiting a little longer . paul : okay . the gun we found in victor 's office has n't been fired for a long time , so clearly it was n't used in jack 's shooting . kevin : so , victor was n't the shooter . paul : no , i did n't say victor was n't the shooter . i said that gun was n't used in the shooting . kevin : so , you think victor was the shooter . paul : i did n't say that , either . look , have you been gone so long you 've forgotten what we do here ? [ sighs ] this is an investigation . we investigate thoroughly . we do n't jump to conclusions . we work the case and we get the information we need . then we can make a conclusion . [ chuckling ] detective fiction might be good for you right now . kevin : okay . mariah : you sure do know how to charm people . kevin : excuse me . i thought you liked my unconventional charm . mariah : i might be alone in that . kevin : yeah . i just -- this case -- it 's weird . a guy goes to the park and ends up in a coma . mariah : i know . it makes me super - excited to go see fireworks there tonight . although i was up all night listening to you pace around the house , so i might crash early . kevin : well , forgive me . i was having some very complex thoughts . you know , that video from the coffee house -- it just does n't make any sense . jack , twice , before he ends up almost dead , like austin and courtney . mariah : clearly you think there is a connection , but it does n't make any sense . there 's no straight line between jack and our friends . kevin : no , not a straight line , but that does n't mean there is n't a line . so now is where i connect the dots and get you to admit that what happened to jack and what happened to our friends is tied together . victor : so , you have it all figured out , huh ? nick : at father 's day , when we were all together , out of the blue , you decided that we should all go away on vacation . then you were charged with embezzlement . then we all get bodyguards . now jack 's in a coma . but the abbott family has decided there was n't any embezzlement because you never took any money . it was just a computer glitch . victor : that 's right . i did n't take any money , all right ? but some people are determined to think the worst of me , especially you and your mother . nick : well , what are we supposed to do ? just believe everything you say like victoria ? victor : victoria 's a loyal daughter , son . nick : and i 'm the disloyal son . victor : i ca n't force you to be loyal . nick : but you expect it . victor : you know what i expect ? for you to tell me what 's really on your mind . nick : jack 's in a coma , and i know you 're not innocent in all this . i had to walk away from the family business because i did n't want any part of this mess . now i 'm walking away from you . victor : well , vaya con dios , pero vaya . that means `` go with god , but go . `` sage : gabriel might not be forthcoming about everything in his life , but his hatred for victor is real . he would never side with him . he holds victor responsible for the death of his father , and nothing will ever change that . ashley : okay . which father are we talking about ? harrison bingham ? because according to gabe , i mean , jack is the center of his universe , as if no other father ever existed . and by the way , we were having a private conversation , sage . sage : i - i was n't eavesdropping , and i 'm not defending gabe . i just want to reassure you in the fact that gabe wishes nothing more than for victor to suffer . phyllis : and yet victor just promoted him . gabe could n't be more pleased . ashley : yeah , and , you know , gabe and victor were both in the park when jack was shot -- gabe after and victor before . do n't you think that 's an interesting coincidence ? phyllis : ashley , she 's team newman because of nick . between that and her loyalty to her ex - husband , i 'd say her judgment is quite excellent . adam : leave her alone , all right ? phyllis : gabe , coma patients can hear when you speak to them . i hope you did n't say anything to upset jack . adam : you okay ? ashley : it 's very sweet how protective you are of each other even though , as far as i can tell , neither one of you needs much protecting . adam : yeah , you can come after me all you want , but just leave her alone , all right ? [ cell phone beeps ] ashley : [ sighs ] adam : is it from victor about a meeting ? ashley : yes . how did you know that ? adam : oh , i got the same text about five minutes ago . guess i 'm higher on the food chain than you are . would n't want to be late . hurry along .

[ clears throat ] sage : i 'll show you the back . marisa : okay . noah : any news about jack ? nick : only that i 'm more convinced than ever that your grandfather 's involved . and i 'm out . noah : out of what ? nick : just -- i 'm not gon na try and understand or rationalize anything he does . look , i 'm staying away from your grandfather , and i want you and your sister to do the same . i do not want my kids anywhere near this mess . mariah : so , you 're gon na convince me that jack abbott 's attempted murder is connected to two completed murders ? kevin : does that seem farfetched ? mariah : a tad . kevin : good . then you 're gon na be really impressed when i pull this off . mariah : go for it . convince away . kevin : the connection is the video . remember how austin had the video of jack on his laptop ? mariah : yeah , some random footage of him in the park . kevin : well , random to us , but not random to austin , because he took it . and what it was and why it was important -- that 's what i do n't know . mariah : i thought you were trying to convince me of something . you are doing a terrible job . kevin : [ sighs ] moving on ... remember how courtney was looking at the surveillance footage the day she was killed ? mariah : yeah , and then the police computer system was obliterated . kevin : right . she found something worth ditching her wedding for but then , suddenly , there 's no footage . mariah : all right . your powers of persuasion are getting stronger . kevin : good . this brings us to last night . jack , the same park , and what do you know ? the surveillance video is down . there is no footage . so , maybe i 'm right . maybe jack confronted someone who could implicate him in the murders , and he got shot . mariah : so , that would mean that jack abbott is the killer . kevin : or he confronted the killer and that 's what got him shot . mariah : so , either way , he knows more than we thought . kevin : well , we ca n't ask jack now , and now i sound exactly like the chief . that 's just what he said to me . but my point is i have convinced you , have n't i ? mariah : you do n't sound completely wrong . kevin : i 'm not even a little bit wrong . this has always come back to jack . we just did n't know it . phyllis : i usually love fireworks . but today , i ... i kind of dread them -- the sound and the flash . makes me wonder what you heard , what you saw in that park . this should have never happened . [ door opens ] paul : phyllis . phyllis : what have you found out about the investigation ? paul : ballistics came back on the gun we found in victor 's office . it was n't the weapon used in the shooting . phyllis : so , what are you saying ? you do n't think victor did it ? paul : no , it just was n't the gun used to shoot jack . it does n't mean that victor was n't holding the gun that was used . adam : gee whiz , victor . uh , i appreciate your confidence in me . thank you . chelsea : it 's wonderful . adam : yeah . ashley : it 's wrong . victor : why ? would you prefer victoria to be in charge ? ashley : it takes some serious brass to make executive appointments after what happened in the park last night . victor : i made the decision precisely after the conversation i had with jack last night . ashley : oh , really ? so , you and jack were talking about promotions even though you have no idea how he ended up in the hospital ? victor : he just wanted to make sure that gabriel had more power at newman- abbott . ashley : he never mentioned that to me . funny . adam : oh , we 'll bring it up with him when he makes up , makes a full recovery . until then , i plan on doing everything i can to justify his faith in me . ashley , i 'm positive you and i can figure out a way to work together . ashley : that 's so reassuring . could you please leave ? i would like to speak with victor alone . chelsea : no problem . adam : oh , um , victor . you 've done a great thing for the company , done the right thing by jack . chelsea : come on . let 's go . ashley : you never spoke to billy or anybody else because you knew he would tear this place apart , as well as victoria . is she aware how you just shoved her aside ? victor : a decision had to be made . and i made it . ashley : mm - hmm . of your own free will ? victor : i do everything of my own free will . ashley : really ? so , gabe does n't have anything on you ? because i know you would n't make him head of the company unless he was blackmailing you . victor : that 's absurd . ashley : i think maybe it 's the lesser of two evils for you . you get to stay out of jail . he gets to have the company . because gabe saw you shoot jack , did n't he ? noah : so , what are you saying , dad ? you 're convicting grandpa of attempted murder ? he has n't even been charged with anything . you think maybe you 're jumping the gun here ? nick : it 's not up to me what the authorities do . but this situation with your grandfather is toxic , and i do n't want you anywhere near it . noah : i appreciate your concern . i do . but i think that i need to make my own decision on this . nick : what is there to decide ? your grandfather could have very well shot jack . noah : i understand that there are some questions that need to be asked -- nick : there are more than just questions , noah . there 's red flags everywhere . noah : look , not too long ago , everybody was calling mom a killer . and she was innocent . nick : that does n't mean your grandpa is . noah : everybody was willing to let her go down for something that she did not do . now , i ca n't just turn my back on family like that . i need the facts . nick : do you know how many times i have wanted to believe in my dad ? almost as many times as he has let me down . and when that happens , when the person that you have all this faith in -- noah : if it happens , dad , it happens . but if i walk away from grandpa , you know what ? i think i 'm just letting myself down , not just him . nick : i 'm just trying to save you some heartbreak down the line . noah : my fiancée was murdered , dad . i - i am fully aware of how terrible the world can be . but that does not mean that i 'm gon na walk around , looking at every single person , assuming the worst . nick : sometimes , with my dad , that 's the safest way . he has gotten away with so much in life . i do n't think he 's gon na get away with this . phyllis : good . victor 's not off the hook . he was there . he was with jack in the park . he walked away . jack did n't . that means something . paul : yeah , i agree . my gut tells me that victor is involved . to what extent , i 'm not too sure , but i 'll find out . phyllis : jack did n't deserve this . i do n't care how he 's acted in the last month or what he 's done . but there is no reason he should be lying in this bed right now . paul : i know . i gave you my word that whoever did this to him would n't get away with it . phyllis : i 'm gon na hold you to that , paul . victor : if you 're so certain what happened , then there 's no longer any sense in continuing this conversation . ashley : jack is my brother . i want to know why the hell this happened to him . victor : i have no idea . ashley : yes , you do . you and gabe both know more than you 're saying . you spoke with jack , and it was n't about the stupid promotion . i want to know what was said . he is my brother . victor : he 's not your brother . ashley : listen , do n't you dare pull that stupid paternity crap with me . victor : let me just say that jack is no longer the person that i knew him to be , all right ? i have no idea what happened . i had nothing to do with it . [ gunshot ] chelsea : c.e.o . of newman - abbott . i ca n't believe you 're gon na -- you 're gon na be the c.e.o . of newman - abbott . i - i practically passed out back there . adam : yeah , i - i ca n't believe victor trusted me with that . chelsea : well , because jack asked him to for your sake . adam : yeah . yeah , i did n't expect that , you know ? but i 'll do him proud for sure , and then , uh , you know , when he wakes up , i 'll thank him . and he will wake up , chelsea . he will . i know the man well enough to know that . chelsea : [ sighs ] you know , you do n't have to take the position . adam : why would n't i take it ? chelsea : well , because it 's gon na be a whole new hell for you , quite frankly . they 're gon na think that you made a deal with the devil . you saw ashley 's face back there . now , can you imagine when she tells billy and kyle , abby -- oh , god , and then there 's lovely victoria . adam : listen , i - i ca n't -- i ca n't worry about those people , okay ? the only thing i can worry about is jack . now , victor -- he has n't been charged with murder yet , but he 's still a suspect . chelsea : wh - what do you mean ? adam : i mean he 's vulnerable , you know ? that does n't happen very often . when it does , you got to strike , bring him down . chelsea : there it is again . adam : what ? chelsea : the , um -- the look in your eyes and the sound of your voice when you talk about bringing victor down -- exactly like adam . noah : so , yeah , look , it 's -- it 's all intuitive . uh , when there 's time to stock the bar , do as much as you can , 'cause you can never predict a rush . and , um , if you do n't know how to pour cocktails , just do beer and wine and shots until you 're ready . okay ? look , i know it 's -- it 's a lot to take in -- marisa : i can handle it . noah : yeah . yeah , i guess you -- you probably can , huh ? marisa : so , what do i start with now ? noah : now . go take a break . go . get out of here . go see the sun . you 've been in here since last night , so ... marisa : i do have some errands . noah : um , hey , listen , uh , do you need -- do you need some , uh -- need an advance for -- for , uh , uh , necessities , clothes , anything ? marisa : no . noah : you sure ? marisa : no , noah . you 've done me two favors already . thank you . noah : okay . marisa : [ sighs ] thank you . i - i 'll be back . noah : all right .

'cause i just keep envisioning all these rookie mistakes i 'm gon na make . it 's terrifying . nick : well , i 'm gon na be right there with you . we 'll make those mistakes together . i mean , you 're probably gon na make a lot more than me , but ... sage : [ laughs ] probably . nick : i 'm just gon na love the heck out of this kid , you know ? i 'm not gon na smother him . sage : mm - hmm . nick : maybe a little . sage : little bit ? a little bit ? nick : a little smothering . sage : [ chuckles ] nick : but i 'm want to be a dad that they 're proud of . are we dancing ? sage : [ chuckles ] no . it 's the fourth of july . we 're gon na go pick up faith , go to the park for the fireworks , envision what it 's gon na be like next year with her little baby brother or baby sister . okay , the truth is i really just want a hot dog with all the relish , ketchup , mayonnaise , and mustard . nick : i got it . let 's -- let 's go . sage : chili cheese fries and those doughnuts . nick : yeah , okay . hot dogs and doughnuts . sage : [ laughs ] kevin : bye . mariah : hey , noah . did it wear off ? the good mood from helping out an unemployed supermodel . noah : she 's not a supermodel . she 's a person . shut up . mariah : i see it did wear off -- the good mood . you 're kind of in the mood that i 've been in since i was , like , mm , 12 . whereas i 'm naturally crabby , you actually have a reason to be -- the whole jack / victor debacle . noah : and since sharon is your mother , you think that victor did it . of course , you would think that the guy that would hire you to haunt your mother would shoot an unarmed man . mariah : i did n't say that , but thank you so much for the reminder . noah : sorry . kevin : actually , we do have news . ballistics came back . the gun they found in victor 's office was not used to shoot jack . noah : thank god . so , grandpa did n't do it . victor : i just came to tell jack the good news -- that as per his request , i appointed gabriel interim c.e.o . phyllis : per his request ? was that before you shot him ? victor : i did not shoot him . phyllis : you sent a bullet into jack 's body , and you watched him fall . you shot my husband , and you left him there to die . you lied about seeing him . you only admitted to being with jack because nikki ratted you out , so do not try to play hero about saving him from the building collapse or taking me out of my coma , because you destroyed every good thing you have ever done last night . and if my husband does n't make it , i will destroy you myself . are you listening to me ? jack . baby , baby , can you hear me ? ashley : `` results confirm a match between subject ' a , ' jack abbott , and subject ' b , ' gabriel bingham . `` adam : you hungry ? i bet you 're hungry . what can i get you ? name it . chelsea : a shower . adam : ah ! shower . that sounds fantastic . chelsea : no , no , i 'm gon na shower by myself . adam : oh , that sounds horrible . chelsea : but i was thinking , um , of taking connor to go see the fireworks tonight . would you want to come ? adam : that ... chelsea : sounds pretty fun . adam : ... sounds ... chelsea : boring ? adam : perfect , i was gon na say , actually . perfect . chelsea : good . mm , no . i have to get ready . you stay .

gabe is so aggressively unpleasant with everybody except for jack . phyllis : oh , his father , as he likes to keep reminding us . ashley : yeah , you know what ? i do n't buy it . i just do n't . there 's too many weird things about it . i mean , why did jack keep that relationship a secret for so long ? why was gabe chasing after billy 's fiancée ? what was he doing strolling through the park , finding jack shot ? phyllis : you heard what nikki said , did n't you ? ashley : yes . that victor was in the park before jack was shot . yeah , i obsessed about that one all night long . phyllis : well , victor is denying all of that , but he was there at the scene . ashley : so was gabe , after jack was shot . too many coincidences . i do n't think it 's gon na hold up under scrutiny . phyllis : yeah , well , when i scrutinize too long , i feel like i want to -- i need to stay calm . for jack . so , trying to scrutinize calmly , maybe gabe and victor are in on this together . gabriel can call himself an abbott . that does n't mean he is one . ashley : by the way , billy told me jack agreed to a dna test , and the results should be back any day . phyllis : good . then we 'll know who gabriel is and maybe what side he 's gon na choose -- jack 's or victor 's .

'cause of the fight with your boyfriend . marisa : exactly . noah : see , thing is , marisa , it 's funny . i asked some people that lived near the fountain if they heard a couple fighting last night . did n't hear a thing . marisa : so it did n't happen ? noah : not according to them . marisa : who does that ? asking people , `` hey , did you hear a man screaming at a woman last night ? `` noah : said you 'd call your boyfriend , too . did you ? marisa : because you think i owe him peace of mind . what about what he owes me ? and why do you care ? noah : 'cause i gave you a place to stay last night , i helped you out , and you 're not being straight with me . marisa : [ sighs ] noah : look , i 'm gon na tell you something . i 'm really tired of being misled , taken advantage of 'cause i 'm a nice guy . marisa : [ sighs ] you were right about last night . okay ? it was n't just a stupid fight with a stupid boyfriend . i 'm in real trouble . kevin : and then there 's jack , on tape , going in the same direction just a couple minutes later . paul : right . and this is from the security camera outside the coffee house ? kevin : right . minutes before jack was shot . and look -- it 's not like he 's in sweats like he was running laps and he came back . paul : no . and there does n't seem to be a glitch in the recording , either . kevin : no , no . and it would n't accidentally splice together two different nights . this is clearly from the same night . paul : mm - hmm . well , we 're gon na have to look into it . i 'm not exactly sure what it means . kevin : [ sighs ] paul : until jack wakes up , i really ca n't question him directly . so , right now , the priority is finding out who put the bullet in him . kevin : yeah , but you have to admit -- this is so strange , right ? paul : well , i 'll give you that much . but you know what i really think is strange is the fact that you 're working here again . [ chuckles ] is your suspension really over ? kevin : oh , it 's over . admit it , boss -- you missed me .

[ sighs ] this is an investigation . we investigate thoroughly . we do n't jump to conclusions . we work the case and we get the information we need . then we can make a conclusion . [ chuckling ] detective fiction might be good for you right now . kevin : okay . mariah : you sure do know how to charm people . kevin : excuse me . i thought you liked my unconventional charm . mariah : i might be alone in that . kevin : yeah . i just -- this case -- it 's weird . a guy goes to the park and ends up in a coma . mariah : i know . it makes me super - excited to go see fireworks there tonight . although i was up all night listening to you pace around the house , so i might crash early . kevin : well , forgive me . i was having some very complex thoughts . you know , that video from the coffee house -- it just does n't make any sense . jack , twice , before he ends up almost dead , like austin and courtney . mariah : clearly you think there is a connection , but it does n't make any sense . there 's no straight line between jack and our friends . kevin : no , not a straight line , but that does n't mean there is n't a line . so now is where i connect the dots and get you to admit that what happened to jack and what happened to our friends is tied together . victor : so , you have it all figured out , huh ? nick : at father 's day , when we were all together , out of the blue , you decided that we should all go away on vacation . then you were charged with embezzlement . then we all get bodyguards . now jack 's in a coma . but the abbott family has decided there was n't any embezzlement because you never took any money . it was just a computer glitch . victor : that 's right . i did n't take any money , all right ? but some people are determined to think the worst of me , especially you and your mother . nick : well , what are we supposed to do ? just believe everything you say like victoria ? victor : victoria 's a loyal daughter , son . nick : and i 'm the disloyal son . victor : i ca n't force you to be loyal . nick : but you expect it . victor : you know what i expect ? for you to tell me what 's really on your mind . nick : jack 's in a coma , and i know you 're not innocent in all this . i had to walk away from the family business because i did n't want any part of this mess . now i 'm walking away from you . victor : well , vaya con dios , pero vaya . that means `` go with god , but go . `` sage : gabriel might not be forthcoming about everything in his life , but his hatred for victor is real . he would never side with him . he holds victor responsible for the death of his father , and nothing will ever change that . ashley : okay . which father are we talking about ? harrison bingham ? because according to gabe , i mean , jack is the center of his universe , as if no other father ever existed . and by the way , we were having a private conversation , sage . sage : i - i was n't eavesdropping , and i 'm not defending gabe . i just want to reassure you in the fact that gabe wishes nothing more than for victor to suffer . phyllis : and yet victor just promoted him . gabe could n't be more pleased . ashley : yeah , and , you know , gabe and victor were both in the park when jack was shot -- gabe after and victor before . do n't you think that 's an interesting coincidence ? phyllis : ashley , she 's team newman because of nick . between that and her loyalty to her ex - husband , i 'd say her judgment is quite excellent . adam : leave her alone , all right ? phyllis : gabe , coma patients can hear when you speak to them . i hope you did n't say anything to upset jack . adam : you okay ? ashley : it 's very sweet how protective you are of each other even though , as far as i can tell , neither one of you needs much protecting . adam : yeah , you can come after me all you want , but just leave her alone , all right ? [ cell phone beeps ] ashley : [ sighs ] adam : is it from victor about a meeting ? ashley : yes . how did you know that ? adam : oh , i got the same text about five minutes ago . guess i 'm higher on the food chain than you are . would n't want to be late . hurry along . [ cell phone rings ] adam : sorry about that . you want to sit down ? sage : just answer your phone . adam : hello ? chelsea : i just got a text to go to victor 's office . should i be worried ? adam : uh , no . not at all . i 'll be right there by your side , okay ? i 'll see you there . sage : well , you did it . i did n't think it was possible , but you managed to put yourself in a worse position than you were before . adam : worse than before ? wh - what are you talking about ? i think everything 's coming together quite nicely , actually . sage : you have a new father , jack , who 's laying in that bed , and everyone hates you now . was this a part of your plan ? why did n't you tell me this months ago ? adam : there have been some unforeseen events . sage : yeah , you think ? adam : sage , the end game was for me to have a life with chelsea and connor . that 's happening , okay ? i get to serve up some justice to victor . that 's also happening . sage : why did you tell everyone that you were jack 's son ? where did that come from ? can you imagine what it was like for me when nick told me the news ? he said that `` bingham is n't the man that we thought he was . `` i almost swallowed my tongue when i thought that he knew about you and victor . adam : listen , that was n't my call , okay ? jack made that decision . he thought it would help protect me , and he was right . sage : except now everyone thinks that you 're satan . you might as well be adam newman for all the good being gabe has done for you . adam : no one 's ever gon na find out that i 'm adam newman . sage : okay , well , what if they found out that you 're not jack jr. ? do you know that phyllis and ashley are gon na go check the dna results ? adam : well , do n't worry about that -- the dna results . it 's not an issue . sage : it 's an issue for me . if your luck runs out , so does mine . i am complicit . i know who you are . and i wish that i did n't know who you are , because all i want in my life is to be with nick and to have this baby . and i just wish that i never knew who you were , because -- adam : listen to me . you 're getting yourself worked up , okay , and you do n't need to be worked up . you need to be taking care of yourself . what are you doing here ? yo - you do n't need to be here . sage : i have a doctor 's appointment . adam : is everything all right ? sage : that 's none of your business . everything is fine . adam : okay . good . sage , i 'm glad . sage : it 's not your business . why do n't you go to victor and go protect chelsea and do whatever you do . but please do not screw me on this . adam : it 's all under control , okay ? phyllis : i warned them you might hear everything we say to you . you may not remember it all , but you can hear it . it 's gon na give you some pretty messed- up dreams , that 's for sure . and if anyone knows what it 's like to be locked in there , it 's me . so , i want you to hear this , if nothing else . i love you , i will protect you , and i will stand by you forever and always . but you got to forgive me if i do n't trust gabe . i do n't see you in him . and i do n't like him being alone in here with you . i wish to god i knew what he was saying in here to you . because i do n't think i would trust a bit of it . i think he and victor are lying about what happened in the park . i need you to wake up so you can tell me the truth . wake up . baby , you 've got to come back to me . marisa : have you ever chosen the wrong person to love 'cause you were too stupid , too trusting ? noah : maybe . once or twice . marisa : well , maybe being with someone who did n't respect the law was better than the life you left behind . noah : so , what kind of life did you leave behind ? marisa : my point is , yes , i lied about the details of last night . if my boyfriend does come back , it wo n't be to make up with me . it will be to shut me up about what i know . he 's a man who belongs in a cell . noah : so , wait a minute . if this guy is so dangerous , what are you doing here ? why do n't you go to the police ? marisa : if you understood anything , you would know why . noah : i get it . you 're afraid he 's gon na come back . marisa : he has a habit of saving his own skin , which means he 'll stay away . maybe if i -- if i stay here , fit in , it 'll be fine and he will stay gone . noah : so , you 're planning on staying in genoa city ? marisa : i 'd like to . noah : but what ? marisa : well , if i 'm to survive , i - i need a job . [ door closes ] victor : thank you for coming . i invited kyle , billy , and neil , but they could n't make it . ashley : maybe we should postpone this if it 's newman - abbott related , because abby 's not here . she 's on her way because of jack , but then again , that 's another reason to postpone -- out of respect for your partner . victor : mm , no , i 'd rather not . chelsea : can we take a vote , then , because this makes me very nervous . victor : and no vote . chelsea : if this is about the embezzlement charges -- ashley : it 's not , actually , because that 's over . victor : the funds were n't embezzled , chelsea . they were missing because of a computer glitch . chelsea : well , that 's a relief . ashley : mm - hmm . things happen . chelsea : i 'm gon na go look for gabe . excuse me . victor : all right . [ door opens ] adam : sorry i 'm late . did i miss anything ? chelsea : uh , just a little bit of tension . victor : well , now that you 're here , we can continue this conversation . since my partner , jack , is incapacitated , i have decided to step away from the company , okay ? ashley : that 's a very wise move . victor : and i have decided to appoint a c.e.o . ashley : why is n't victoria here gloating ? she too busy having a new nameplate made up ? victor : because , actually , the person in charge will be jack 's son gabriel . marisa : it fits good . sage : uh , are we handing out t - shirts to patrons now ? noah : sage , marisa . marisa , sage . sage : hi . noah : she 's our new staffer . sage : oh , hi . nick : new staffer ? i thought i was the one who did the hiring around here . noah : i was being proactive . besides , everybody new in town ends up working here anyway . nick : that 's not true . sage : [ chuckles ] noah : look -- look at it this way -- we hire an extra pair of hands now , gives us time to get her settled in before sage takes maternity leave . and , dad , hopefully you 'll be taking some paternity leave . nick : that 's not a bad idea . sage : i - i think it 's a great idea . do n't you ? because you wo n't even let me lift a case of beer . marisa : [ chuckles ] nick : that is a great idea . thank you , son . noah : you 're welcome . nick : marisa , welcome to the team . uh , can i talk to you for a second ? noah : sure . yeah . [ clears throat ] sage : i 'll show you the back . marisa : okay . noah : any news about jack ? nick : only that i 'm more convinced than ever that your grandfather 's involved . and i 'm out . noah : out of what ? nick : just -- i 'm not gon na try and understand or rationalize anything he does . look , i 'm staying away from your grandfather , and i want you and your sister to do the same . i do not want my kids anywhere near this mess . mariah : so , you 're gon na convince me that jack abbott 's attempted murder is connected to two completed murders ? kevin : does that seem farfetched ? mariah : a tad . kevin : good . then you 're gon na be really impressed when i pull this off . mariah : go for it . convince away . kevin : the connection is the video . remember how austin had the video of jack on his laptop ? mariah : yeah , some random footage of him in the park . kevin : well , random to us , but not random to austin , because he took it . and what it was and why it was important -- that 's what i do n't know . mariah : i thought you were trying to convince me of something . you are doing a terrible job . kevin : [ sighs ] moving on ... remember how courtney was looking at the surveillance footage the day she was killed ? mariah : yeah , and then the police computer system was obliterated . kevin : right . she found something worth ditching her wedding for but then , suddenly , there 's no footage . mariah : all right . your powers of persuasion are getting stronger . kevin : good . this brings us to last night . jack , the same park , and what do you know ? the surveillance video is down . there is no footage . so , maybe i 'm right . maybe jack confronted someone who could implicate him in the murders , and he got shot . mariah : so , that would mean that jack abbott is the killer . kevin : or he confronted the killer and that 's what got him shot . mariah : so , either way , he knows more than we thought . kevin : well , we ca n't ask jack now , and now i sound exactly like the chief . that 's just what he said to me . but my point is i have convinced you , have n't i ? mariah : you do n't sound completely wrong . kevin : i 'm not even a little bit wrong . this has always come back to jack . we just did n't know it . phyllis : i usually love fireworks . but today , i ... i kind of dread them -- the sound and the flash . makes me wonder what you heard , what you saw in that park . this should have never happened . [ door opens ] paul : phyllis . phyllis : what have you found out about the investigation ? paul : ballistics came back on the gun we found in victor 's office . it was n't the weapon used in the shooting . phyllis : so , what are you saying ? you do n't think victor did it ? paul : no , it just was n't the gun used to shoot jack . it does n't mean that victor was n't holding the gun that was used . adam : gee whiz , victor . uh , i appreciate your confidence in me . thank you . chelsea : it 's wonderful . adam : yeah . ashley : it 's wrong . victor : why ? would you prefer victoria to be in charge ? ashley : it takes some serious brass to make executive appointments after what happened in the park last night . victor : i made the decision precisely after the conversation i had with jack last night . ashley : oh , really ? so , you and jack were talking about promotions even though you have no idea how he ended up in the hospital ? victor : he just wanted to make sure that gabriel had more power at newman- abbott . ashley : he never mentioned that to me . funny . adam : oh , we 'll bring it up with him when he makes up , makes a full recovery . until then , i plan on doing everything i can to justify his faith in me . ashley , i 'm positive you and i can figure out a way to work together . ashley : that 's so reassuring . could you please leave ? i would like to speak with victor alone . chelsea : no problem . adam : oh , um , victor . you 've done a great thing for the company , done the right thing by jack . chelsea : come on . let 's go . ashley : you never spoke to billy or anybody else because you knew he would tear this place apart , as well as victoria . is she aware how you just shoved her aside ? victor : a decision had to be made . and i made it . ashley : mm - hmm . of your own free will ? victor : i do everything of my own free will . ashley : really ? so , gabe does n't have anything on you ? because i know you would n't make him head of the company unless he was blackmailing you . victor : that 's absurd . ashley : i think maybe it 's the lesser of two evils for you . you get to stay out of jail . he gets to have the company . because gabe saw you shoot jack , did n't he ? noah : so , what are you saying , dad ? you 're convicting grandpa of attempted murder ? he has n't even been charged with anything . you think maybe you 're jumping the gun here ? nick : it 's not up to me what the authorities do . but this situation with your grandfather is toxic , and i do n't want you anywhere near it . noah : i appreciate your concern . i do . but i think that i need to make my own decision on this . nick : what is there to decide ? your grandfather could have very well shot jack . noah : i understand that there are some questions that need to be asked -- nick : there are more than just questions , noah . there 's red flags everywhere . noah : look , not too long ago , everybody was calling mom a killer . and she was innocent . nick : that does n't mean your grandpa is . noah : everybody was willing to let her go down for something that she did not do . now , i ca n't just turn my back on family like that . i need the facts . nick : do you know how many times i have wanted to believe in my dad ? almost as many times as he has let me down . and when that happens , when the person that you have all this faith in -- noah : if it happens , dad , it happens . but if i walk away from grandpa , you know what ? i think i 'm just letting myself down , not just him . nick : i 'm just trying to save you some heartbreak down the line . noah : my fiancée was murdered , dad . i - i am fully aware of how terrible the world can be . but that does not mean that i 'm gon na walk around , looking at every single person , assuming the worst . nick : sometimes , with my dad , that 's the safest way . he has gotten away with so much in life . i do n't think he 's gon na get away with this . phyllis : good . victor 's not off the hook . he was there . he was with jack in the park . he walked away . jack did n't . that means something . paul : yeah , i agree . my gut tells me that victor is involved . to what extent , i 'm not too sure , but i 'll find out . phyllis : jack did n't deserve this . i do n't care how he 's acted in the last month or what he 's done . but there is no reason he should be lying in this bed right now . paul : i know . i gave you my word that whoever did this to him would n't get away with it . phyllis : i 'm gon na hold you to that , paul . victor : if you 're so certain what happened , then there 's no longer any sense in continuing this conversation . ashley : jack is my brother . i want to know why the hell this happened to him . victor : i have no idea . ashley : yes , you do . you and gabe both know more than you 're saying . you spoke with jack , and it was n't about the stupid promotion . i want to know what was said . he is my brother . victor : he 's not your brother . ashley : listen , do n't you dare pull that stupid paternity crap with me . victor : let me just say that jack is no longer the person that i knew him to be , all right ? i have no idea what happened . i had nothing to do with it .

ashley : do n't even say it . brad : what ? ashley : what i know you want to say . brad : i ca n't ignore it , ash . every visit to dr . thompson , she is warning you about your blood pressure . this is n't good , honey . ashley : do n't you think i 'm aware of that ? brad : when are you gon na start doing something about it ? ashley : i 'm trying , but every day there 's a new situation that drives me up the wall . brad : a situation named drucilla ? ashley : you have no idea how much i regret she was ever hired . brad : honey ... you 're going to have to get past it . dru 's here to stay , like it or not . and i 'm not going to tell you i 'm sorry about this damon porter . ashley : does n't it bother you at all how wildly she oversteps her boundaries ? brad : yes , that bothers me , but if this guy gets you out of the lab , that 's all i care about . you have to start getting your priorities in order . your health , the health of our babies , those should be your only concerns right now . ashley : look , jabot in a very tenuous position , and this company has been my father 's life . it 's been my life , and i ca n't just put it aside ! i 'm sorry , i can't . brad : honey , do n't do this . you 're getting all worked up again . ashley : somebody has to deal with drucilla . she has no idea if damon porter 's right for us or not . she 's not a chemist , and neither is my brother , and they did n't have the right to go behind my back and hire somebody i 'd never even met ! brad : okay . ashley : this could be a disaster ! brad : all right . the good news is , he 's got a great résumé , and they kept newman frometting him . now you ca n't forget that . ashley : what i ca n't forget is that drucilla is trouble , and she needs to be controlled . lily : are you guys sure you can handle this ? colleen : no problem , babe . we got you covered . lily : yeah , well , you have n't dealt with my mom before . sierra : you worry too much . colleen : yeah , and besides , your mom 's cool . lily : compared to who ? colleen : um , compared to my granddad . he is nnnna freak out when he sees what i 've done . sierra : well , i do n't see what the big deal is , anyway . i mean , they 're our bodies , right ? colleen : yeah , and if we want a little piercings and tattoos , it should be our business . sierra : yeah . lily : well , just wait till we 're 18 . then we can do whatever we want . colleen : yeah . no parents to boss us ound with these stupid rules . sierra : seems like a long way away . lily : ugh , i know . i do n't know if i can stand my parents for three more years . colleen : what , you mean , 'cause they 're getting married ? lily : please . what a joke . sierra : maybe you can be the maid of honor . colleen : yeah , or a bridesmaid . ( door opens ) lily : shut up , you guys . oh , crap . it 's my mom . colleen : uh , uh -- get in the bathroom . sierra : yeah , and do n't come out until we call you . dru : ( sighs ) whoo ! what are -- hey ! what are you kids doing here ? colleen : oh , hey there . sierra : hi . raul : let me know if you need help with anything . j.t . : counting the money ? raul : yeah . j.t . : can i have mine ? raul : no . j.t . : it 's payday , man . raul : i do n't write your check . j.t . : yeah , but you know where it is . it 's right in that drawer . raul : i 'll be done in a minute . you can get it yourself , okay ? j.t . : hey , what 's with the attitude , man ? i 'm the one that should be upset . raul : at me ? j.t . : no , not you , just your mouth . raul : why , for telling brittany about you and her mom ? j.t . : you did n't have to do that , man . raul : brittany was getting too involved in her parents ' problems . she needed to know the whole story . j.t . : like hell . admit it . it 's your nature . you ca n't help getting in everybody 's business . raul : and it 's your nature to just try and get another notch on your belt , right ? no matter who the hell it is . j.t . : hey , i was a notch on her belt . raul : poor little baby boy . what happened ? you got seduced ? j.t . : yeah . i did , if you want to know the truth , and i 'm done talking about it , all right ? so back off . it 's got nothing to do with you . frederick : how 's your salad ? anita : fine . frederick : brittany ? brittany : whatever . frederick : you can order something else if you 'd like , kitten . brittany : oh , no , dad . ( sarcastically ) it 's yummy . mmm . it 's the best salad ever . gosh , maybe gina will give me the recipe . frederick : well , i appreciate you two making the time to have lunch together . anita : yes , well , i thought it was important . i mean , when was the last time we all sat down and broke bread together ? frederick : not nearly often enough . brittany : god , you know , could you two be , like , any more syrupy ? i 'm starting to think i should have brought raul 's insulin kit . colleen : hi , mrs . winters . dru : hey , colleen . and you must be sierra . sierra : yes , ma'am . dru : such a pretty name . sierra : thank you . dru : ( laughs ) where 's lily ? colleen : oh , she 's in the bathroom . sierra : we 're waiting for her . dru : could be a while . want something to drink ? colleen : oh , no , thanks . we just had stuff at the coffeehouse . dru : oh . so i hear you 're working real hard on finals . colleen : yup . sierra : major brain strain . dru : it 's all gon na pay off , sierra . colleen : so they tell us . dru : so what else you working on besides studying for your finals , drinking hot cocoa at crimson lights , what else ? colleen : just messing around . dru : messing around , huh ? you know , in my day , that covered a lot of territory . uh , is that a belly ring ? colleen : oh , yeah . yeah , i just got that today . sierra : is n't it cool ? she also got a tattoo on her back . dru : okay , what -- uh - huh . well , it 's a good thing those things wash right off . you know , so what 's with all the adornments ? sierra : oh , she just broke up with her boyfriend . dru : mmm . colleen : sierra . sierra : we ought it might make her feel better . dru : i 'm surprised your father would let you get a piercing and a real tattoo ? colleen : oh , right . he does n't exactly know yet , but hey , it 's the style . sierra : yeah , i mean , i love mine . dru : yeah , i can see that . uh - huh . oh , you got one , too ? sierra : yeah . also got another ear piercing . do n't they rock ? dru : mm - hmm . mm - hmm . i wonder what 's keeping lily . sierra : maybe she fell in . dru : i can tell you one thing . she did n't get a piercing and a tattoo without her mother 's permission . dru : all right . uh , lily ? lily , can i talk to you , please ? dru : oh -- oh , my god . what in the devil were you thinking about ? lily : mother , please do n't embarrass me . dru : do n't embarrass you ? you know what ? it 's time for yogigirls to leave . i need to talk to lily . colleen : okay . okay . lily : bye , you guys . > rarad ; : honey , i do n't want to fight with you about this . ashley : i do n't either . let 's not fight . brad : but it drives me nuts . you refuse to take care of yourself . ashley : now that 's not true . brad : it is true . you 've been told in no uncertain terms how critical it is for you to back away from work , but you do n't listen . ashley : what you do n't understand is that for meto back away from the lab when i do n't think it 's being handled properly is more stressful than if i was actually there , especially now . brad : now meaning ... ashley : with the new line , and drucilla running off half - cocked at every turn . brad : you just ca n't get away from this drucilla thing . ashley : well , i meant what i said . she 's trouble . she 's completely undisciplined . she does n't know that there 's a business side to this industry . brad : she 's got a hell of a lot of enthusiasm . ashley : oh , who cares ? she does n't think before she acts , and sometimes unbridled enthusiasm is not a good thing . brad : what am i going to do with you ? ashley : i 'm trying to be calm . i really am . i 'm trying to be mellow . brad : it 's just not in you , is it ? ashley : yes , it is . honey , i just have this sick feeling in the pit of my stomach , and i ca n't get beyond it . i probably should n't even tell you this . i know jack is pretending to have the soul of confidence , but so much is riding on my shoulders . i ca n't let my family down . do n't you understand ? this is my venue . i mean , i 'm the reason why jabot is where it is today , and who 's to say that damon porter , this man i 've never worked with , i 've never even met , will have a vision that 's even closely related to mine ? and the last thing we need is some hack chemist coming in and developing all these mundane products . now that would destroy us . so of course i think that the best option is just to hold off on a full - scale expansion . but drucilla does n't like that idea . and in spite of my years of experience and my years of dedication to this company , hers is the voice that carried . now you tell me how i 'm supposed to deal wh h that , because you know what ? i do n't know . whoa ! were you thinking about ? lily : mom , chill . it 's no big deal . dru : it is a big deal . i am paying your tuition to study and to do your finals , not to punch holes in your birthday suit . lily : i did study . i 'll be fine on the tests . dru : i thought you had more sense than this . lily : mom , all the kids are doing it . dru : i do n't care about all the other kids . i am your mother ! now let me ask you a question . how did you do this ? because you need a parent 's consent . lily : i told the guy i was 18 . dru : oh , and that fool believed you ? lily : i guess . dru : well , you guessed wrong , 'cause you do n't look 18 and neither do your friends . lily : well , maybe not to you . dru : listen to you . i am your mother , and you are a child , and you do n't give children tattoos , much less nose piercings . unless this man was so desperate for your money . lily : he seemed like a nice guy . dru : he seemed like a nice creep . did you forget about a.i.d.s . ? lily : no , mother . i do n't live under a rock . dru : well , obviously you must have forgotten momentarily that you can get a.i.d.s . from dirty needles . you can get hepatitis . lily : mom , the needles were clean . this guy has done a million tattoos . besides , if something really looked wrong , i would n't have gone through with it . i mean , do you really think i look that stupid ? dru : yes , at this moment i think you really are that stupid . raul : have a good day . raul : here , now you can stop pretending like you 're working . j.t . : man , this is getting really , really ugly . we 're gon na have to work together all summer . raul : so what ? j.t . : so let 's sort this out right now . raul : and what do you got in mind , j.t . ? j.t . : look , i ca n't take back what happened , all right ? raul : oh , and you totally would if you could , right ? j.t . : yeah , i would . raul : that 's cheap talk , man . j.t . : what do you want me to do ? i ca n't just run off to confession and wipe my slate clean like other people . raul : hey , do n't go there . j.t . : you think you 're so pure you can judge everybody . it 's been like that since we werlilittle kids . `` mrs. dickerson , it was j.t . who hit the baseball through the window . `` raul : you still remember that ? j.t . : yeah , i do . i bet you could n't wait to tell brittany about anita and me . raul : oh , anita . j.t . : that 's her name , man . yeah , she 's a sad lady with a lot of problems , which you only made worse by ratting her out to her daughter . raul : you are so dying to point the finger at somebody else . all that tells me is that you know sleeping with anita was wrong . j.t . : did i say it was n't ? are you listening to what i 'm saying , man ? did you hear me ? frederick : well , i was kind of hoping we could have a nice meal together . brittany : well , it 's a hell of a guest list , dad . anita : brittany . brittany : well , come on . i mean , how ridiculous is this ? having lunch together , pretending everything 's normal . frederick : look , whatever problems your mother and i are having -- anita : we are still a family . we will always be a family . frederick : right . brittany : you mean , like , you 'll always be there for me , mother ? or i can always count on you , dad ? frederick : is all of this sarcasm really necessary ? anita : i think she 's trying to get her point across , frederick . frederick : which is ? anita : that we 've failed her somehow , which is probably true . we have n't been the mostresponsive parents . lines of communication broke down years ago , and we did n't address it . that was a mistake . but we are here now , honey . we are reaching out the best way we know how , hoping that you realize how much we do care . brittany : wow , mom . that was really touching . so how long did you practice that in front of the mirror ? anita : it has needed to be said for a long , long time . frederick : i second everything your mother just said . brittany : yeah , because it 's so much easier than talking on yourwnwn . anita : you know , brittany , that really is n't fair . we are both here making an effort . brittany : really ? together , like a parenting team ? well , you obviously have n't told him yet . frederick : told me what ? anita : brittany . brittany : never mind . frederick : no , no , no . i want to know what you 're talking about . brittany : well , dad , apparently you 're not the only one getting a little on the side . brittany : i mean , as long as we 're all being so sincere and honest . brad : come here . ashley : oh . brad : oh , honey , you are wound so tight . listen , i hear what you 're saying . i understand your frustration . ashley : sweetie , i do n't know if you really can understand . brad : well , i 'm trying . ashley : i just feel like everything is spinning out of control . i mean , all these huge decisions are being made spur of the moment . somebody has to bring judgment and rationality , or we 're just a rudderless ship . brad : honey , you ca n't be the rudder right now . you have to let somebody else do that . ashley : i think about how the company almost slipped through our fingers . it almost killed my father . brad : that is not going to happen again . ashley : we do n't know that . we simply do not know that . brad : whatever happens , you ca n't let it tear you up like this . you just can't . you 've got to find a way to back off . you have to do that for yourself . you have to do that for our baby . i need you to promise me , honey . ashley : i 'll try . brad : no . try is n't good enough . i have to have your word . ashley : i 'm not gon na make a promise that i 'm not sure i can keep . i 'm sorry . frederick : let 's keep the focus on you , brittany . brittany : why ? frederick : well , because the more hear , the more i 'm convinced this attempt to reach out to you is long overdue . anita : all this anger , what is it that you want from us ? frederick : was it raul ? maybe our attitude ? brittany : well , that sure did n't help . anita : good . see , now maybe we 'll get somewhere . brittany : what , you want a list of all your sins ? how far should we go back ? frederick : as far as we need to . brittany : yeah , dad . well , that 's sounds like a lot of fun , but ... anita : your credit card , cutting you off like that . all it accomplished was forcing you to live like a pauper in a terrible part of town . i so regret that , honey . you have no idea . frederick : we 'll reinstate it this afternoon . brittany : do n't bother . anita : it 's a gesture . brittany : i said , do n't bother . i do n't need your generosity . i can get by on my own . anita : yes . well , that is the whole point . you should n't have to , brittany . frederick : look , even if you do n't want our financial help , we do n't want you to feel like you 're all alone out there in the world . we love you , kitten . anita : you 're our child . frederick : and you 'll always come first with us , no matter what . brittany : will you just stop it ? you 're making me sick ! do you have any idea what you 've done to me ? i hate my life ! i hate you ! god , all you ever do is lie and cheat on each other . if that 's how you felt , you never should 've had me ! you sure have n't done me any favors ! raul : that 's right , j.t . start yelling . let 's start scaring all the customers away . j.t . : i do n't give a damn about the customers , raul . oh , wait . i should n't have said that . now you 're gon na report me to the boss , are n't you ? raul : you know what ? you crack me up . why do n't you look in the mirror , because that 's the guy who always gets you in trouble . j.t . : wow . what a profound guy you are . thanks for the check . i 'm outta here , man . raul : hey , you gon na stick around for a little while ? i 'm single - handed here . j.t . : where 's brittany ? this is her shift , is n't it ? raul : she 's late . j.t . : and that 's my problem ? rl : l : well , i have to be in class in a little while , and if she 's not here by the time i have to leave ... j.t . : what 's up with your girlfriend , man ? she 's been late a lot . raul : well , she does n't like working here anymore . j.t . : is she gon na quit ? raul : i do n't know . j.t . : until she does , she should show up for her shifts . raul : i do n't disagree . j.t . : wow . i just realized something . how do you put up with her ? raul : i 'm sorry . what ? j.t . : i mean , she is n't perfect , like me , like most everyone . must be really hard for you to deal with . raul : oh , that 's not funny . j.t . : i mean , seeing that your so perfect yourself . raul : i said , that 's not funny . j.t . : whoa , i just hit a sore spot , did n't i ? raul : something 's going on with brittany . j.t . : uh - oh . raul : no , not something like that . j.t . : are you sure about that ? raul : yeah , i 'm sure about that . she 's just restless , all right ? she 's lookin ' for some change . j.t . : of boyfriends . raul : no , you idiot . j.t . : are you sure , man ? raul : yeah . she 's looking for something to make her life more interesting . it has nothing to do with looking for another guy . why do n't you get your mind out of your pants for two seconds , j.t . ? j.t excuse me . i 'm just an animal , are n't i ? let me tell you something . i know your girlfriend really , really well . i know what makes her tick . raul : oh , yeah ? j.t . : and i know you do n't want to hear this , but i 'm gon na go ahead and tell you . you better find something to keep her entertained , or you 're gon na be flying solo before you know it . raul : you know what ? talking to you is a total waste of my time . why do n't you go find somebody 's mother to jump or something , j.t . ? j.t . : that 's fine with me . i heard your mom 's looking pretty hot these days . raul : what did you say ? ! say that again ! i dare you to say that again ! brittany : hey , stop it ! j.t . : brittany , get this guy off me ! brittany : nail him , raul . raul : i 'm not gon na sink down to your level . j.t . : that'good . now i 'm ready , man . you caught me off guard . let 's go . brittany : j.t . , he just spared your life . j.t . : come on , raul , let 's go ! raul : forget it , man . j.t . : oh , no . i 'm not gon na forget it , man . raul : all right , fine . fine , a week from today , but not right now . brittany : you know what , j.t . ? just get out of here . this is n't your shift . j.t . : brittany , can i talk to you ? brittany : talk . j.t . : i mean alone . brittany : no . j.t . : all right . look , i 'm sorry , okay ? i 'm not gon na keep apologizing for the rest of my life , but i 'm sorry . brittany : that 's great . that 's a big help . j.t . : i did n't create thsisituation , all right ? it fell on my head , and i got involved , but i did n't create it . it just kind of happened . brittany : just following orders , huh ? j.t . : that 's not what i said . fine . fine . make it hard for me . you need someone to beat up on , 'cause it makes you feel better . i can take it . look , your mom needed something , and i was n't strong enough to say no . and it cost me colleen . i lost her . did you guys lose anything ? huh , did you ? i did n't think so . lily : jeez . you 're acting like it 's the end of the world . dru : children do n't get tattoos . you kids do n't think . you do n't use good judgment . lily : so it 's the tattoo that you 're freaked about , not the pierced nose ? dru : i 'm freaked out abouthe whole thing , okay ? the nose piercing is n't permanent , but that thing . this thing is a whole different story . lily : i 've heard of people having them removed . dru : yeah ? not that many , and let me tell you why . it 's expensive . it 's painful . it 's difficult . lily : so i 'm stuck with it . who cares ? i thinkt 's cool . dru : you think it 's cool ? we 'll see how cool you think it is when your father walks through that door . lily : you know , whatever . i 'm sure it 's nothing compared to the stuff that you did when you were my age . dru : let me tell you something . enough is enough , and too much is foolish . when i was your age , i had nothing , and that 's why i 've worked hard -- to give you every opportunity , every advantage , but you just -- lily : but what ? dru : you do n't appreciate what your father and i try to provide for you . lily : oh , like getting married again ? is that supposed to give me some big advantage over other kids ? dru : so that 's what this is all about , to get back at us . lily : are you all through lecturing me , mom ? 'cause i have things to do . dru : no , i 'm not done lecturing you . you are 15 ! you just turned 15 . and as long as you live here , i 'm gon na have my foot in it ! lily : you taught me to be independent , to think for myself . dru : i want you to be an independent thinker . yes , that 's right , but there are limits , lily . lily : i 'm just doing what you did , mother . you knew that i 'd be upset if you and dad got married again , but hey , that did n't stop you , did it ? dru : so you decided to get a nose piercing and that thing , okay , as a desperate attempt to get some attention ? lily : ( laughs ) oh , that 's funny . that 's real funny . look w 's 's giving me advice about getting attention -- a diva ex - model who practically fell apart when she was n't in the spotlight , who just had to get that job at jabot so people would n't think that she was washed up , who even kept wes on a string long after she was finished with him just so that she would have another man chasing after her . god , i hope i 'm never that pathetic . dru : do n't you ever talk to me that way ! do you understand me ? ! go ahead , run to your room ! ( telephone rings ) dru : hello . ashley : hi , drucilla . it 's ashley . dru : look , you got ta call back , ashley , okay ? ashley : no , this ca n't wait . i need to see you . dru : now ? ashley : yes , w.w. as soon as possible . dru : what 's it about , ashley ? ashley : i think you have some idea . i 'm leaving my house now . i 'll meet you in the boardroom . ashley : `` brad , i had to go out . ashley . `` ashley : sorry , honey . i had to do this . colleen : dad ? ashley ? brad : hey , honey , how 'd the study session go ? colleen : um , good . brad : did you get a lot accomplished ? colleen : not really , we sort of got distracted . brad : yeah , i understand that . it 's a beautiful day . you have summer vacation right around the corner . it 's hard to stay focused on finals . colleen : yeah , really hard . well , i 'm gon na spend the rest of the afternoon up in my room if that 's okay . brad : why do n't you bring your stuff down here ? i have a bunch of reading to do . we can work together . order pizza . colleen : bribing me with food ? brad : is it working ? brad : i 'll even let you turn the stereo on . i know you like to listen to music when you study . and you can pick the cd . colleen : wow . you really do want company . brad : is it a deal ? colleen : yes . let me just grab some notes up in my room . brad : okay , honey . brittany : i 'm glad that 's over with . raul : yeah , me too . brittany : are you okay ? raul : yeah . there 's one thing j.t . was right about . he said we did n't lose anything . and we still have each other . brittany : yeah , and this crummy job . raul : oh , babe , you really are bummed out . brittany : oh , it 's okay . it beats some greasy , smoky place flipping burgers . but still , i mean , talk about the same old , same old . `` oh , that top looks great on you . would you like to see our matching toe socks ? `` yuck . raul : elell , the people who come in here are mostly cool , babe . it 's like we 're hanging out with them . it 's not like we 're slaving for them . brittany : well , i 'm glad you like it . i used to ... briefly . raul : hey . what 's the matter ? you seem more down than you were before . did something happen ? brittany : i saw my parents . god , what a mess they are . raul : do n't worry about them , all right ? you 're on your own now . what they do is their trip . brittany : raul , you 're close to your parents . imagine them suddenly falling apart . raul : that 's different . brittany : oh , because your family 's so tight , and my family 's always been this dysfunctional mess ? raul : i 'm sorry , but it is different . my parents are like one person . it 's like they 're joined at the hip . your parents , you know ... i mean , the only thing that surprises me about them is that they did n't separate years ago . brittany : well , thanks . that 's helpful . in other words , i should have been more miserable than i realize . honey , look , i know you 're trying . and i know i 'm being a real pill . i 'm sorry . raul : no , do n't be . everybody has a right to feel blue sometimes . all right , listen . i have to get to class . you 're on your own , okay ? brittany : okay . i can handle that . raul : are you sure ? brittany : of course . raul : you are a sweetheart . you 're my sweetheart . brittany : yeah , i am . raul : all right . i 'll meet you back at the shack ? brittany : i 'll be there . raul : great . see if i can help you remember the meaning of life . raul : all right , i got ta go . colleen : go ahead , yell at me . get it over with . brad : when 'd you get the tattoo ? colleen : today . brad : and the other one ? colleen : i got them at the same time . brad : so you lied to me when you said you were at the coffeehouse studying . colleen : no , i did n't lie . we were studying ... just for a little while . brad : i am really disappointed in you , colleen . colleen : dad . brad : is this about j.t . ? colleen : what ? brad : honey , i know you 're hurting . but if you think acting out this way is gon na make you happy ... colleen : i 'm not acting out . brad : well , then what do you call it ? you come home with piercings and tattoos . do you understand what you 've done ? that thing is gon na be there forever . colleen : it is just one tattoo on my back . it 's barely noticeable , dad , and the piercing is so no big deal . lily and sierra -- they have ... brad : i do n't care about lily and sierra . they 're not my daughters . you 've made so much progress in the last year . now if this is se e indication that you 're reverting back to your old ways , honey , i 'm telling you , i will not tolerate it . colleen : you 're blowing this way out of proportion . brad : am i ?

brittany : you make me want to puke , j.t . first you had me , and then you had my mother . j.t . : look , i 'm sorry . brittany : you 're sorry ? that 's it ? you are so lame ! we should 've gone to college in new york . then i would n't have to deal with any of this garbage , and it 's not just my parents i want to escape from . i 'm tired of having the same day over and over again . it 's just work and school , work and school . raul : i thought you liked working here . brittany : what 's to like ? raul : the money 's good . you get a great discount on makeup and clothes . i know you love that . and lauren 's a great boss . brittany : she 's okay . i think i 'm just burned out . i need a change . raul : look , i know that you 're upset about everything that 's going on with your parents . but give it time , okay ?

brittany : just about anything . why do you ask ? man : maybe because i 'm the guy that can make dreams come true . dru : what does she want ? ashley : i was beginning to wonder if you were gon na make it . dru : i did n't think i had a choice . ashley : you 're right . you didn't . dru : if this is about damon porter , ashley ... ashley : you know damn well it is , only this time i 'm going to do the talking . so you just sit down and listen up . | brad worries about ashley 's health and wants her to listen to doctors orders -- rest , rest , rest ! ashley feels like dru , or damon porter for that matter , do n't truly understand what her vision is for jabot . she feels that dru needs to be controlled and she call dru to the office to speak with her . lily , sierra , and colleen are met by dru in the apartment , where she notices their tattoos and piercings . then she learns that lily got piercing and hits the roof . lily speaks back to her mother calling her a ex - model has been and gets slapped . brad , unlike dru , calmly tells collen he is disappointed -- then they go on to talk about whether or not the procedures hurt . jt confronts raul for spilling the beans about sleeping with brittany mother . raul shares that there is something going on with brittany but he has not idea what . brittany 's parents try to reconnect with brittany -- even offer her back all her credit cards , but she lets them know how much she hates them . at the boutique , brittany meets that say he makes dreams come true . | <s>[INST] ashley : do n't even say it . brad : what ? ashley : what i know you want to say . brad : i ca n't ignore it , ash . every visit to dr . thompson , she is warning you about your blood pressure . this is n't good , honey . ashley : do n't you think i 'm aware of that ? brad : when are you gon na start doing something about it ? ashley : i 'm trying , but every day there 's a new situation that drives me up the wall . brad : a situation named drucilla ? ashley : you have no idea how much i regret she was ever hired . brad : honey ... you 're going to have to get past it . dru 's here to stay , like it or not . and i 'm not going to tell you i 'm sorry about this damon porter . ashley : does n't it bother you at all how wildly she oversteps her boundaries ? brad : yes , that bothers me , but if this guy gets you out of the lab , that 's all i care about . you have to start getting your priorities in order . your health , the health of our babies , those should be your only concerns right now . ashley : look , jabot in a very tenuous position , and this company has been my father 's life . it 's been my life , and i ca n't just put it aside ! i 'm sorry , i can't . brad : honey , do n't do this . you 're getting all worked up again . ashley : somebody has to deal with drucilla . she has no idea if damon porter 's right for us or not . she 's not a chemist , and neither is my brother , and they did n't have the right to go behind my back and hire somebody i 'd never even met ! brad : okay . ashley : this could be a disaster ! brad : all right . the good news is , he 's got a great résumé , and they kept newman frometting him . now you ca n't forget that . ashley : what i ca n't forget is that drucilla is trouble , and she needs to be controlled . lily : are you guys sure you can handle this ? colleen : no problem , babe . we got you covered . lily : yeah , well , you have n't dealt with my mom before . sierra : you worry too much . colleen : yeah , and besides , your mom 's cool . lily : compared to who ? colleen : um , compared to my granddad . he is nnnna freak out when he sees what i 've done . sierra : well , i do n't see what the big deal is , anyway . i mean , they 're our bodies , right ? colleen : yeah , and if we want a little piercings and tattoos , it should be our business . sierra : yeah . lily : well , just wait till we 're 18 . then we can do whatever we want . colleen : yeah . no parents to boss us ound with these stupid rules . sierra : seems like a long way away . lily : ugh , i know . i do n't know if i can stand my parents for three more years . colleen : what , you mean , 'cause they 're getting married ? lily : please . what a joke . sierra : maybe you can be the maid of honor . colleen : yeah , or a bridesmaid . ( door opens ) lily : shut up , you guys . oh , crap . it 's my mom . colleen : uh , uh -- get in the bathroom . sierra : yeah , and do n't come out until we call you . dru : ( sighs ) whoo ! what are -- hey ! what are you kids doing here ? colleen : oh , hey there . sierra : hi . raul : let me know if you need help with anything . j.t . : counting the money ? raul : yeah . j.t . : can i have mine ? raul : no . j.t . : it 's payday , man . raul : i do n't write your check . j.t . : yeah , but you know where it is . it 's right in that drawer . raul : i 'll be done in a minute . you can get it yourself , okay ? j.t . : hey , what 's with the attitude , man ? i 'm the one that should be upset . raul : at me ? j.t . : no , not you , just your mouth . raul : why , for telling brittany about you and her mom ? j.t . : you did n't have to do that , man . raul : brittany was getting too involved in her parents ' problems . she needed to know the whole story . j.t . : like hell . admit it . it 's your nature . you ca n't help getting in everybody 's business . raul : and it 's your nature to just try and get another notch on your belt , right ? no matter who the hell it is . j.t . : hey , i was a notch on her belt . raul : poor little baby boy . what happened ? you got seduced ? j.t . : yeah . i did , if you want to know the truth , and i 'm done talking about it , all right ? so back off . it 's got nothing to do with you . frederick : how 's your salad ? anita : fine . frederick : brittany ? brittany : whatever . frederick : you can order something else if you 'd like , kitten . brittany : oh , no , dad . ( sarcastically ) it 's yummy . mmm . it 's the best salad ever . gosh , maybe gina will give me the recipe . frederick : well , i appreciate you two making the time to have lunch together . anita : yes , well , i thought it was important . i mean , when was the last time we all sat down and broke bread together ? frederick : not nearly often enough . brittany : god , you know , could you two be , like , any more syrupy ? i 'm starting to think i should have brought raul 's insulin kit . colleen : hi , mrs . winters . dru : hey , colleen . and you must be sierra . sierra : yes , ma'am . dru : such a pretty name . sierra : thank you . dru : ( laughs ) where 's lily ? colleen : oh , she 's in the bathroom . sierra : we 're waiting for her . dru : could be a while . want something to drink ? colleen : oh , no , thanks . we just had stuff at the coffeehouse . dru : oh . so i hear you 're working real hard on finals . colleen : yup . sierra : major brain strain . dru : it 's all gon na pay off , sierra . colleen : so they tell us . dru : so what else you working on besides studying for your finals , drinking hot cocoa at crimson lights , what else ? colleen : just messing around . dru : messing around , huh ? you know , in my day , that covered a lot of territory . uh , is that a belly ring ? colleen : oh , yeah . yeah , i just got that today . sierra : is n't it cool ? she also got a tattoo on her back . dru : okay , what -- uh - huh . well , it 's a good thing those things wash right off . you know , so what 's with all the adornments ? sierra : oh , she just broke up with her boyfriend . dru : mmm . colleen : sierra . sierra : we ought it might make her feel better . dru : i 'm surprised your father would let you get a piercing and a real tattoo ? colleen : oh , right . he does n't exactly know yet , but hey , it 's the style . sierra : yeah , i mean , i love mine . dru : yeah , i can see that . uh - huh . oh , you got one , too ? sierra : yeah . also got another ear piercing . do n't they rock ? dru : mm - hmm . mm - hmm . i wonder what 's keeping lily . sierra : maybe she fell in . dru : i can tell you one thing . she did n't get a piercing and a tattoo without her mother 's permission . dru : all right . uh , lily ? lily , can i talk to you , please ? dru : oh -- oh , my god . what in the devil were you thinking about ? lily : mother , please do n't embarrass me . dru : do n't embarrass you ? you know what ? it 's time for yogigirls to leave . i need to talk to lily . colleen : okay . okay . lily : bye , you guys . > rarad ; : honey , i do n't want to fight with you about this . ashley : i do n't either . let 's not fight . brad : but it drives me nuts . you refuse to take care of yourself . ashley : now that 's not true . brad : it is true . you 've been told in no uncertain terms how critical it is for you to back away from work , but you do n't listen . ashley : what you do n't understand is that for meto back away from the lab when i do n't think it 's being handled properly is more stressful than if i was actually there , especially now . brad : now meaning ... ashley : with the new line , and drucilla running off half - cocked at every turn . brad : you just ca n't get away from this drucilla thing . ashley : well , i meant what i said . she 's trouble . she 's completely undisciplined . she does n't know that there 's a business side to this industry . brad : she 's got a hell of a lot of enthusiasm . ashley : oh , who cares ? she does n't think before she acts , and sometimes unbridled enthusiasm is not a good thing . brad : what am i going to do with you ? ashley : i 'm trying to be calm . i really am . i 'm trying to be mellow . brad : it 's just not in you , is it ? ashley : yes , it is . honey , i just have this sick feeling in the pit of my stomach , and i ca n't get beyond it . i probably should n't even tell you this . i know jack is pretending to have the soul of confidence , but so much is riding on my shoulders . i ca n't let my family down . do n't you understand ? this is my venue . i mean , i 'm the reason why jabot is where it is today , and who 's to say that damon porter , this man i 've never worked with , i 've never even met , will have a vision that 's even closely related to mine ? and the last thing we need is some hack chemist coming in and developing all these mundane products . now that would destroy us . so of course i think that the best option is just to hold off on a full - scale expansion . but drucilla does n't like that idea . and in spite of my years of experience and my years of dedication to this company , hers is the voice that carried . now you tell me how i 'm supposed to deal wh h that , because you know what ? i do n't know . whoa ! were you thinking about ? lily : mom , chill . it 's no big deal . dru : it is a big deal . i am paying your tuition to study and to do your finals , not to punch holes in your birthday suit . lily : i did study . i 'll be fine on the tests . dru : i thought you had more sense than this . lily : mom , all the kids are doing it . dru : i do n't care about all the other kids . i am your mother ! now let me ask you a question . how did you do this ? because you need a parent 's consent . lily : i told the guy i was 18 . dru : oh , and that fool believed you ? lily : i guess . dru : well , you guessed wrong , 'cause you do n't look 18 and neither do your friends . lily : well , maybe not to you . dru : listen to you . i am your mother , and you are a child , and you do n't give children tattoos , much less nose piercings . unless this man was so desperate for your money . lily : he seemed like a nice guy . dru : he seemed like a nice creep . did you forget about a.i.d.s . ? lily : no , mother . i do n't live under a rock . dru : well , obviously you must have forgotten momentarily that you can get a.i.d.s . from dirty needles . you can get hepatitis . lily : mom , the needles were clean . this guy has done a million tattoos . besides , if something really looked wrong , i would n't have gone through with it . i mean , do you really think i look that stupid ? dru : yes , at this moment i think you really are that stupid . raul : have a good day . raul : here , now you can stop pretending like you 're working . j.t . : man , this is getting really , really ugly . we 're gon na have to work together all summer . raul : so what ? j.t . : so let 's sort this out right now . raul : and what do you got in mind , j.t . ? j.t . : look , i ca n't take back what happened , all right ? raul : oh , and you totally would if you could , right ? j.t . : yeah , i would . raul : that 's cheap talk , man . j.t . : what do you want me to do ? i ca n't just run off to confession and wipe my slate clean like other people . raul : hey , do n't go there . j.t . : you think you 're so pure you can judge everybody . it 's been like that since we werlilittle kids . `` mrs. dickerson , it was j.t . who hit the baseball through the window . `` raul : you still remember that ? j.t . : yeah , i do . i bet you could n't wait to tell brittany about anita and me . raul : oh , anita . j.t . : that 's her name , man . yeah , she 's a sad lady with a lot of problems , which you only made worse by ratting her out to her daughter . raul : you are so dying to point the finger at somebody else . all that tells me is that you know sleeping with anita was wrong . j.t . : did i say it was n't ? are you listening to what i 'm saying , man ? did you hear me ? frederick : well , i was kind of hoping we could have a nice meal together . brittany : well , it 's a hell of a guest list , dad . anita : brittany . brittany : well , come on . i mean , how ridiculous is this ? having lunch together , pretending everything 's normal . frederick : look , whatever problems your mother and i are having -- anita : we are still a family . we will always be a family . frederick : right . brittany : you mean , like , you 'll always be there for me , mother ? or i can always count on you , dad ? frederick : is all of this sarcasm really necessary ? anita : i think she 's trying to get her point across , frederick . frederick : which is ? anita : that we 've failed her somehow , which is probably true . we have n't been the mostresponsive parents . lines of communication broke down years ago , and we did n't address it . that was a mistake . but we are here now , honey . we are reaching out the best way we know how , hoping that you realize how much we do care . brittany : wow , mom . that was really touching . so how long did you practice that in front of the mirror ? anita : it has needed to be said for a long , long time . frederick : i second everything your mother just said . brittany : yeah , because it 's so much easier than talking on yourwnwn . anita : you know , brittany , that really is n't fair . we are both here making an effort . brittany : really ? together , like a parenting team ? well , you obviously have n't told him yet . frederick : told me what ? anita : brittany . brittany : never mind . frederick : no , no , no . i want to know what you 're talking about . brittany : well , dad , apparently you 're not the only one getting a little on the side . brittany : i mean , as long as we 're all being so sincere and honest . brad : come here . ashley : oh . brad : oh , honey , you are wound so tight . listen , i hear what you 're saying . i understand your frustration . ashley : sweetie , i do n't know if you really can understand . brad : well , i 'm trying . ashley : i just feel like everything is spinning out of control . i mean , all these huge decisions are being made spur of the moment . somebody has to bring judgment and rationality , or we 're just a rudderless ship . brad : honey , you ca n't be the rudder right now . you have to let somebody else do that . ashley : i think about how the company almost slipped through our fingers . it almost killed my father . brad : that is not going to happen again . ashley : we do n't know that . we simply do not know that . brad : whatever happens , you ca n't let it tear you up like this . you just can't . you 've got to find a way to back off . you have to do that for yourself . you have to do that for our baby . i need you to promise me , honey . ashley : i 'll try . brad : no . try is n't good enough . i have to have your word . ashley : i 'm not gon na make a promise that i 'm not sure i can keep . i 'm sorry . frederick : let 's keep the focus on you , brittany . brittany : why ? frederick : well , because the more hear , the more i 'm convinced this attempt to reach out to you is long overdue . anita : all this anger , what is it that you want from us ? frederick : was it raul ? maybe our attitude ? brittany : well , that sure did n't help . anita : good . see , now maybe we 'll get somewhere . brittany : what , you want a list of all your sins ? how far should we go back ? frederick : as far as we need to . brittany : yeah , dad . well , that 's sounds like a lot of fun , but ... anita : your credit card , cutting you off like that . all it accomplished was forcing you to live like a pauper in a terrible part of town . i so regret that , honey . you have no idea . frederick : we 'll reinstate it this afternoon . brittany : do n't bother . anita : it 's a gesture . brittany : i said , do n't bother . i do n't need your generosity . i can get by on my own . anita : yes . well , that is the whole point . you should n't have to , brittany . frederick : look , even if you do n't want our financial help , we do n't want you to feel like you 're all alone out there in the world . we love you , kitten . anita : you 're our child . frederick : and you 'll always come first with us , no matter what . brittany : will you just stop it ? you 're making me sick ! do you have any idea what you 've done to me ? i hate my life ! i hate you ! god , all you ever do is lie and cheat on each other . if that 's how you felt , you never should 've had me ! you sure have n't done me any favors ! raul : that 's right , j.t . start yelling . let 's start scaring all the customers away . j.t . : i do n't give a damn about the customers , raul . oh , wait . i should n't have said that . now you 're gon na report me to the boss , are n't you ? raul : you know what ? you crack me up . why do n't you look in the mirror , because that 's the guy who always gets you in trouble . j.t . : wow . what a profound guy you are . thanks for the check . i 'm outta here , man . raul : hey , you gon na stick around for a little while ? i 'm single - handed here . j.t . : where 's brittany ? this is her shift , is n't it ? raul : she 's late . j.t . : and that 's my problem ? rl : l : well , i have to be in class in a little while , and if she 's not here by the time i have to leave ... j.t . : what 's up with your girlfriend , man ? she 's been late a lot . raul : well , she does n't like working here anymore . j.t . : is she gon na quit ? raul : i do n't know . j.t . : until she does , she should show up for her shifts . raul : i do n't disagree . j.t . : wow . i just realized something . how do you put up with her ? raul : i 'm sorry . what ? j.t . : i mean , she is n't perfect , like me , like most everyone . must be really hard for you to deal with . raul : oh , that 's not funny . j.t . : i mean , seeing that your so perfect yourself . raul : i said , that 's not funny . j.t . : whoa , i just hit a sore spot , did n't i ? raul : something 's going on with brittany . j.t . : uh - oh . raul : no , not something like that . j.t . : are you sure about that ? raul : yeah , i 'm sure about that . she 's just restless , all right ? she 's lookin ' for some change . j.t . : of boyfriends . raul : no , you idiot . j.t . : are you sure , man ? raul : yeah . she 's looking for something to make her life more interesting . it has nothing to do with looking for another guy . why do n't you get your mind out of your pants for two seconds , j.t . ? j.t excuse me . i 'm just an animal , are n't i ? let me tell you something . i know your girlfriend really , really well . i know what makes her tick . raul : oh , yeah ? j.t . : and i know you do n't want to hear this , but i 'm gon na go ahead and tell you . you better find something to keep her entertained , or you 're gon na be flying solo before you know it . raul : you know what ? talking to you is a total waste of my time . why do n't you go find somebody 's mother to jump or something , j.t . ? j.t . : that 's fine with me . i heard your mom 's looking pretty hot these days . raul : what did you say ? ! say that again ! i dare you to say that again ! brittany : hey , stop it ! j.t . : brittany , get this guy off me ! brittany : nail him , raul . raul : i 'm not gon na sink down to your level . j.t . : that'good . now i 'm ready , man . you caught me off guard . let 's go . brittany : j.t . , he just spared your life . j.t . : come on , raul , let 's go ! raul : forget it , man . j.t . : oh , no . i 'm not gon na forget it , man . raul : all right , fine . fine , a week from today , but not right now . brittany : you know what , j.t . ? just get out of here . this is n't your shift . j.t . : brittany , can i talk to you ? brittany : talk . j.t . : i mean alone . brittany : no . j.t . : all right . look , i 'm sorry , okay ? i 'm not gon na keep apologizing for the rest of my life , but i 'm sorry . brittany : that 's great . that 's a big help . j.t . : i did n't create thsisituation , all right ? it fell on my head , and i got involved , but i did n't create it . it just kind of happened . brittany : just following orders , huh ? j.t . : that 's not what i said . fine . fine . make it hard for me . you need someone to beat up on , 'cause it makes you feel better . i can take it . look , your mom needed something , and i was n't strong enough to say no . and it cost me colleen . i lost her . did you guys lose anything ? huh , did you ? i did n't think so . lily : jeez . you 're acting like it 's the end of the world . dru : children do n't get tattoos . you kids do n't think . you do n't use good judgment . lily : so it 's the tattoo that you 're freaked about , not the pierced nose ? dru : i 'm freaked out abouthe whole thing , okay ? the nose piercing is n't permanent , but that thing . this thing is a whole different story . lily : i 've heard of people having them removed . dru : yeah ? not that many , and let me tell you why . it 's expensive . it 's painful . it 's difficult . lily : so i 'm stuck with it . who cares ? i thinkt 's cool . dru : you think it 's cool ? we 'll see how cool you think it is when your father walks through that door . lily : you know , whatever . i 'm sure it 's nothing compared to the stuff that you did when you were my age . dru : let me tell you something . enough is enough , and too much is foolish . when i was your age , i had nothing , and that 's why i 've worked hard -- to give you every opportunity , every advantage , but you just -- lily : but what ? dru : you do n't appreciate what your father and i try to provide for you . lily : oh , like getting married again ? is that supposed to give me some big advantage over other kids ? dru : so that 's what this is all about , to get back at us . lily : are you all through lecturing me , mom ? 'cause i have things to do . dru : no , i 'm not done lecturing you . you are 15 ! you just turned 15 . and as long as you live here , i 'm gon na have my foot in it ! lily : you taught me to be independent , to think for myself . dru : i want you to be an independent thinker . yes , that 's right , but there are limits , lily . lily : i 'm just doing what you did , mother . you knew that i 'd be upset if you and dad got married again , but hey , that did n't stop you , did it ? dru : so you decided to get a nose piercing and that thing , okay , as a desperate attempt to get some attention ? lily : ( laughs ) oh , that 's funny . that 's real funny . look w 's 's giving me advice about getting attention -- a diva ex - model who practically fell apart when she was n't in the spotlight , who just had to get that job at jabot so people would n't think that she was washed up , who even kept wes on a string long after she was finished with him just so that she would have another man chasing after her . god , i hope i 'm never that pathetic . dru : do n't you ever talk to me that way ! do you understand me ? ! go ahead , run to your room ! ( telephone rings ) dru : hello . ashley : hi , drucilla . it 's ashley . dru : look , you got ta call back , ashley , okay ? ashley : no , this ca n't wait . i need to see you . dru : now ? ashley : yes , w.w. as soon as possible . dru : what 's it about , ashley ?

[ exhales ] [ scene_break ] adam : mastermind ? no . sweetheart , i was trapped , all right ? now , here 's the truth . ian ward found out my my true identity , okay , and he threatened to expose me , and i knew that would destroy any chance i had with you , so forgive me , yes , i agreed to help him with this tiny , little thing . i was supposed to plant a bug in victor 's computer . i had no idea how massive this whole thing was going to be . chelsea : did you notice the power going out all over this town , adam ? adam : yes , of course i noticed the power going out ! i was in the middle of it ! but he had the upper hand ! i could n't do anything ! chelsea : you do n't know the difference between telling the truth and lying anymore . it 's really scary . adam : what are you talking about ? of course i do . chelsea : so , you knew about ian 's history with the newmans , so , what , you played on that to get him involved , to get him to help you ? adam : no , what i did baby , what i did is i came back from the grave for you . and i came back to genoa city with a plan , and that was to win your heart and to put my family back together . and honestly , yes , to bring down victor . chelsea : you thought you thought you could start a life with me and connor by teaming up with that that terrible person ? he 's a bad guy , adam ! adam : yes the way you 're putting it now , yes , i wish i would n't have done that , okay ? i am sorry , but you want me to apologize for trying to bring down my bastard father ? ! have you forgotten what a horrible human being that man is ? he manipulated you , all right ? ! are you forgetting about that ? we should be in paris right now , you , me , and connor , living a life , right ? no , he manipulated you to come back here ! he stole your company ! and now he 's gon na take connor , my son , and he 's gon na hold him under his thumb . chelsea : at least victor loves connor in his own way . but you you talk about protecting your son ? you let an escaped convict live next door to us ! adam : i did n't let anything happen . i love my son . what are you doing ? where you going ? chelsea : you think you know about parenting ? you think that 's what a father would do ? i 'm doing what i should 've done . i 'm calling the police . adam : you 're not doing any of that . chelsea : i 'm calling the police adam : give me the damn phone ! you 're not doing any of that !

[ sighs ] [ cell phone rings ] neil : [ sighs ] gwen . gwen : hey , are you still were left you ? neil : i assume that you told everyone and that the police are gon na be here any minute . she needs an ambulance because she needs care . you hear me ? gwen : and what about you ? neil : me ? i 'm gon na disappear before they arrive . hey , i got ta go . gwen : wait . please do n't go , not till i 've talked to you in person . and this is n't a trick . i have n't told anyone . neil : how do i know i can trust you ? gwen : you asked me to trust you when i found you with when i found you at your place . can you please just do the same for me ? [ scene_break ] dylan : if hilary is really hurt , she had to be taken to a hospital . stitch : okay , that 's what i 'm saying . not necessarily . even if someone had managed to slip her into an ultra - private clinic , her face is all over the news and social media . plus there 's a one million - dollar reward . can you imagine an orderly or a nurse 's aide making minimum wage ignoring that ? it 'd be all but impossible to keep her hidden . dylan : yeah , but , stitch , she was carried off the plane on a gurney . assuming that she 's still alive , she would have to be taken someplace for medical attention . stitch : look , if she had a fall from a height in rugged terrain , there 's no telling what the extent of her injuries might be . dylan : what if she 's unconscious ? stitch : still , just to keep someone alive in that state , much less give them treatment , i mean , you 'd need dylan : what , what ? what are you thinkin ' ? stitch : when was hilary flown back to genoa city ? you have a date ? dylan : august 21st . why ? stitch : some medical supplies went missing from the hospital a couple weeks ago . and we still do n't know who took 'em .

[ chuckles ] no , i did n't just walk in . i mean , i called out first , you know ? no one was there , so chelsea : no one was there . adam : yeah . chelsea : huh . kind of like the night someone went into victor 's office and planted a virus in his computer . adam : yeah , uh , well , you know , i mean , that 's kevin 's theory , right ? we don ' t even know if that 's where the virus came from . chelsea : that was the night that you decided to skip katherine 's memorial . that was the same night that you told me you were meeting with the realtor to get the keys to this place , but you never you never ended up meeting with her . that 's a lot of coincidences , would n't you say ? adam : i mean , it 's a few , but why do n't you let me explain ? chelsea : i am done letting you explain . adam : what the hell does that mean ? chelsea : kevin said kevin confirmed that that ian , he could n't have been working alone , that he had an accomplice , and his accomplice was probably someone who hated victor ! huh ? ! would n't you say ? does that sound familiar , adam ? ! adam : why do n't you calm down ? chelsea : it was you , was n't it ? ! you were ian 's partner ? ! you were the mastermind behind paragon ? [ exhales ] [ scene_break ] adam : mastermind ? no . sweetheart , i was trapped , all right ? now , here 's the truth . ian ward found out my my true identity , okay , and he threatened to expose me , and i knew that would destroy any chance i had with you , so forgive me , yes , i agreed to help him with this tiny , little thing . i was supposed to plant a bug in victor 's computer . i had no idea how massive this whole thing was going to be . chelsea : did you notice the power going out all over this town , adam ? adam : yes , of course i noticed the power going out ! i was in the middle of it ! but he had the upper hand ! i could n't do anything ! chelsea : you do n't know the difference between telling the truth and lying anymore . it 's really scary . adam : what are you talking about ? of course i do . chelsea : so , you knew about ian 's history with the newmans , so , what , you played on that to get him involved , to get him to help you ? adam : no , what i did baby , what i did is i came back from the grave for you . and i came back to genoa city with a plan , and that was to win your heart and to put my family back together . and honestly , yes , to bring down victor . chelsea : you thought you thought you could start a life with me and connor by teaming up with that that terrible person ? he 's a bad guy , adam ! adam : yes the way you 're putting it now , yes , i wish i would n't have done that , okay ? i am sorry , but you want me to apologize for trying to bring down my bastard father ? ! have you forgotten what a horrible human being that man is ? he manipulated you , all right ? ! are you forgetting about that ? we should be in paris right now , you , me , and connor , living a life , right ? no , he manipulated you to come back here ! he stole your company ! and now he 's gon na take connor , my son , and he 's gon na hold him under his thumb . chelsea : at least victor loves connor in his own way . but you you talk about protecting your son ? you let an escaped convict live next door to us ! adam : i did n't let anything happen . i love my son . what are you doing ? where you going ? chelsea : you think you know about parenting ? you think that 's what a father would do ? i 'm doing what i should 've done . i 'm calling the police . adam : you 're not doing any of that . chelsea : i 'm calling the police adam : give me the damn phone ! you 're not doing any of that !

[ scene_break ] lily : look , why did you go upstairs and get some rest ? devon : that 's not gon na do any good . i 'm just gon na fail at sleeping until morning , and then nothing will have changed . hilary 's still gon na be missing , and the most that i can hope for is another false lead . lily : listen to me . i know tonight was a huge disappointment , but with everyone searching for her , it 's only a matter of time . devon : she does n't have more time ! okay ? the longer this drags out , the greater the chance she 's not gon na be found . and if what cane said is right , if someone took her someplace else or if , you know cane : hey , hey . you got ta be strong . lily : hey . cane : you want to get mad ? you want to hit me again ? is that what you want to do ? okay , you can do that . but do n't quit , 'cause quitting is easy , devon . you got ta fight through this . you have to believe in love and know that hilary 's is gon na come back to you . devon : you 're right . i 'm just feeling sorry for myself , and that 's not going to bring hilary back . but neither is getting a good night 's sleep . what are you guys just standing there for ? we have work to do . cane : you heard the man . [ scene_break ] dylan : so , what kind of supplies were missing from the hospital ? stitch : iv nutrition , mostly used for long - term care . you thinking what i 'm thinking ? what if those supplies were meant for hilary ? dylan : right , and how hard would it be for someone with no medical training to keep a comatose patient fed that way ? stitch : not hard at all . there got to be plenty of videos online demonstrating the process step - by - step . dylan : i 'm sure you 're right . stitch : next question how do you conduct a search for a missing person when that person could literally be anywhere ? dylan : maybe you do n't have to go searching . stitch : meaning ? dylan : if hilary 's in bad shape and she still needs that kind of care , whoever stole those supplies is gon na need more , right ?

[ sam sighs ] alexis : it started with my coughing and i could n't stop . sam : right , but i thought you said that you thought that was because of the allergies . alexis : well , that 's what the doctors thought and then they thought it was a bronchial infection and then it did n't respond to antibiotics , so they did a chest x - ray and they found a spot on my lung . sam : and when was that ? alexis : it was about two weeks ago . i did n't tell anyone because i was hoping that it might be a mistake . unfortunately , it was n't and i do n't have a lot of time to deal with this , you know , because i have a family and i have a job . sam : so what now ? alexis : so they operate . they take out a piece of my lung and then they follow it up with chemotherapy , which is going to take a lot out of me . sam : okay . i mean , if it 's -- if it 's your best chance , the operation , i -- i think that 's good . you have to do it . alexis : of course . but i 'm worried about kristina and molly , and as grateful as i am for viola , they need more than a nanny . sam : are you asking me to stay ? [ scene_break ] april : so you 're letting me move in to share your apartment ? robin : no , you do n't have to share it with anyone . april : so where are you going to live ? or is it obvious ? patrick : no . robin : no . i -- i am moving in to a loft with a couple of friends . i was going to give up my apartment , but i 'm sure one word to sonny and he 'll cover the rent . and it 's furnished , so you can just move right on in . april : oh , well , i hope you do n't have club chairs because i could never live anywhere with club chairs . patrick : i have no idea . [ robin laughs ] april : i 'm kidding . i 'm just trying to figure out why . i mean , what makes me so special ? robin : you know what ? do n't be so flattered . it 's just my way of propping up dr. drake 's ego because he is so proud of the surgery he did on you . did i mention that he 's giving tours of your brain ? patrick : yeah . [ april laughs ] patrick : i 'll cut you in on the entry fee . april : hey , something 's wrong with this picture . it 's like you people are doctors . i mean , you 're supposed to be too busy , you know ? i mean , should n't you be playing golf or something ? [ robin laughs ] robin : you know , it 's really not that big of a deal . it 's just a place to live . april : no . it 's more than generous , considering the fact that i might have infected the man that you care so much about . and do n't worry because i know that he cares just as much about you . you 're both just too stubborn to admit it . patrick : wow . give the woman a bed to sleep in , she takes all kinds of liberties . april : i do n't do gratitude too well , know what i mean ? when you 've felt hopeless as long as i have , it 's -- something like this is just -- robin : it is truly my pleasure .

[ sam sighs ] alexis : it started with my coughing and i could n't stop . sam : right , but i thought you said that you thought that was because of the allergies . alexis : well , that 's what the doctors thought and then they thought it was a bronchial infection and then it did n't respond to antibiotics , so they did a chest x - ray and they found a spot on my lung . sam : and when was that ? alexis : it was about two weeks ago . i did n't tell anyone because i was hoping that it might be a mistake . unfortunately , it was n't and i do n't have a lot of time to deal with this , you know , because i have a family and i have a job . sam : so what now ? alexis : so they operate . they take out a piece of my lung and then they follow it up with chemotherapy , which is going to take a lot out of me . sam : okay . i mean , if it 's -- if it 's your best chance , the operation , i -- i think that 's good . you have to do it . alexis : of course . but i 'm worried about kristina and molly , and as grateful as i am for viola , they need more than a nanny . sam : are you asking me to stay ?

[ robin laughs ] april : i 'm kidding . i 'm just trying to figure out why . i mean , what makes me so special ? robin : you know what ? do n't be so flattered . it 's just my way of propping up dr. drake 's ego because he is so proud of the surgery he did on you . did i mention that he 's giving tours of your brain ? patrick : yeah . [ april laughs ] patrick : i 'll cut you in on the entry fee . april : hey , something 's wrong with this picture . it 's like you people are doctors . i mean , you 're supposed to be too busy , you know ? i mean , should n't you be playing golf or something ? [ robin laughs ] robin : you know , it 's really not that big of a deal . it 's just a place to live . april : no . it 's more than generous , considering the fact that i might have infected the man that you care so much about . and do n't worry because i know that he cares just as much about you . you 're both just too stubborn to admit it . patrick : wow . give the woman a bed to sleep in , she takes all kinds of liberties . april : i do n't do gratitude too well , know what i mean ? when you 've felt hopeless as long as i have , it 's -- something like this is just -- robin : it is truly my pleasure . [ scene_break ] elizabeth : sam 's leaving town ? how do you feel about that ? jason : i think it 's a mistake . you know , she 's always wanted to belong somewhere and she finally has that here . but it 's up to her . elizabeth : well , you 've been her whole life . without you , she probably feels like there 's no reason to stay . jason : well , she 's got her mother , she 's got two little sisters who look up to her . yeah , she screwed up , but -- elizabeth : yeah , well , we 've all screwed up sometimes . somehow our family always manages to forgive us . can you forgive her for sleeping with ric ? jason : can you forgive lucky ? elizabeth : i love my husband . he 's about to face the biggest challenge of his life and i 'm going to do whatever i can to help him get clean . jason : but can you really , really forgive him ? elizabeth : when i think about it , i -- i picture him and maxie and i -- i guess i 'm going to have to try because i have too much to lose and so do you . [ scene_break ] alexis : sam , you and i took a terribly wrong turn somewhere . apparently , it was n't as easy to overcome first impressions as we may have thought . that blood connection , the dna , i guess only goes so far . sam : when two people wanted a connection as much as we did , someone is bound to let the other person down . alexis : i 'm sorry for all the hurt that i 've caused you , and i know that you are sorry , too . we 've really made a mess of things , have n't we ? but we need to think about kristina and molly right now . this is going to be very difficult for them , and they can really use your help , particularly kristina , because she worships you . sam : whew . you know , the thought of leaving kristina and molly , that has -- alexis : ahem . sam : been the hardest part . alexis : kristina is used to me being in charge and me taking care of everything , and it 's going to be very difficult for her when she sees me in a hospital and she sees me weak and tired . she 's going to be scared , so she 's going to need you to help make that better for her . sam : i am -- oh , i -- i 'm not the one to be in charge . i -- i do n't -- i -- i do n't think i could do that . alexis : is that a yes or a no ? sam : alexis , i have -- i have already caused you so much grief . i just do n't know if me being around -- i think -- i think your priority is getting yourself well . alexis : you 're right , it is , and i 'm certainly going to need everything that i have to make this all go away , and you know what ? you let me know what you 're going to do because i need to speak to ric . he does n't know about this yet . sam : ric -- ric does n't know ? alexis : no , he does n't . sam : okay , well , i do n't -- gosh , i do n't think i need to be there for that . alexis : whether you stay or not , i want you to know how sorry i am for the things that i said . i was angry . i was angry at you . i was angry that i was sick , and i was angry that you were healthy and you had your whole life ahead of you and you were going to waste it . um -- i just wanted you to know that . sam : i know what i should do . but there are other people involved . it 's just so complicated right now . alexis : no , sam , it 's actually very simple . i have cancer and i need my family , all of my family , to help me beat it , because i do n't want to die . sam : i think the two of you need to be alone . alexis : well , at least i do n't have to go through the huge explanation again . ric : i would appreciate it if you would . because the only word that i heard was -- was `` cancer . `` alexis : hmm . adenocarcinoma , stage two , non - small - cell - type lung cancer . it falls trippingly off the tongue . ric : not so much . alexis : i 'm going to need surgery . they 're going to take out a portion of my lung . i believe it 's the left lower lobe . ric : what ? alexis : do you know those coughing spells i 've been having ? ric : yeah , the ones that you attributed to your allergies . alexis : it turns out not . ric : when were you -- when were you planning on telling me this ? alexis : well , you 're here right now . ric : i know i 'm here now , but you 're -- you 're telling me now , after the fact , after -- after you 've already had the tests and the diagnosis and i 'm sure a fairly -- a few sleepless nights after you 've already decided that you 're going to have major surgery and , i imagine , chemotherapy ? alexis : they say that 's my best chance . ric : why did n't you tell me ?

lexie : why the hell was rafe in this house ? why did he attack fay ? stefano : [ sighs ] he is not in his right mind . even samantha has said , ever since that accident , he has not been himself . lexie : mm - mm . thousands of people are in accidents far worse than that . they do n't go around attacking people . stefano : [ stutters ] he was in an accident , and he lives with samantha . good god knows what that would do to any man . lexie : oh , would you stop it ? you -- you keep making these jokes , but i know -- i know you 're worried , father . there is twice the normal security around this house . you 're worried about rafe , are n't you ? is that why you were in such a hurry to leave ? stefano : no . i am going to try ... to talk elvis out of the biggest mistake of his life . ej : saying no ? taylor : i know that you are not used to hearing it , but ... i 'm saying no . ej : i see . taylor : ej , sweetheart , come here . just sit here . come on . ej : are you sure you do n't want to think about this ? we love each other . please , we would be so happy together . taylor : sweetheart , you -- you -- you hold those words together , love and happiness , like -- like it 's -- it 's night that follows day . it 's -- they are two completely separate and different things . ej : but they do n't have to be . i mean , i do n't ... maybe you 're just being nice . maybe you , uh ... maybe you do n't want to tell me that you do n't love me anymore . taylor : oh . that would be so much simpler right now if that were true . ej , did you think about this ? ej : did i think about it ? i 'm asking you to marry me , taylor . i ... i gave it some thought . taylor : but i just found out that my mother was murdered , and the man that did it , he is at large . you were just out of the hospital . you -- your father has banned me from his house . and ... oh , yeah . you 're married to my sister . it 's not exactly the ideal circumstance for a proposal . ej : i did n't expect this . taylor : i know . ej : no . i mean , i did n't think ... that after a woman had turned down my proposal of marriage , and then points out to me what an insensitive idiot i was to even ask in the first place ... i did n't think i would love her even more for it . taylor : [ laughs ] oh , you 're good . you 're good . ej : i 'm evidently not that good . you have n't got the ring on your finger . just -- just tell me i did n't screw things up between us . i do n't think i could bear that . taylor : will you tell me ... tell me what it is you think we have . bo : we need you to lay low for a while , hoping that ej and stefano unspool . rafe : well , actually , they could have already and we just do n't know about it . i got ta tell you , it would 've been really nice if that bug that sami planted had just worked . bo : yeah . ca n't seem to catch any luck . hope : let me talk to rafe . bo : hey , man , i 'm gon na put you on speaker . hope : rafe , i know it 's frustrating , but it 's got ta be hell for the dimeras not knowing where their guy is . i think they could crack under the pressure . bo : especially if we ramp things up a bit . rafe : meaning ? bo : meaning i 'm going to ask you to do something pretty dangerous . rafe : well , you do n't have to sell me on it , bo . just tell me when and where . melanie : hey . mind if i join you ? abigail : hey . yeah , have a seat . melanie : you okay ? you look , like , frustrated . abigail : yeah , this is just , uh ... this is how i look after dealing with chad . correction , this is how i look after dealing with chad dimera . melanie : ooh . well , that is a very potent last name . abigail : see , uh , it 's -- it 's weird . i think that he 's totally convinced that he can handle it . you know , being a dimera . and i ... i like him , melanie . i really like him . but it 's like when he talks about stefano , he thinks that he 's cool or something , you know , and not a thug . and i get that he really -- that chad , i get that he really wants a dad in his life . but ... uh , that was coherent . melanie : no , uh , i think i got -- i mean , well , look . my last name was kiriakis for a while , so i kind of understand what you 're talking about . abigail : you know what i think ? i think that we should raise boys in laboratories with no influence from their families until they are old enough for us to date them . melanie : i like that idea . and then i think that we should -- we should train them . abigail : oh , genius . yes . oh , god . melanie : are you sure that 's all that 's bothering you ? abigail : yeah , you want there to be something more ? melanie : no , no . i just , um , i was -- maybe -- i was just thinking , now -- now that our parents are -- are getting serious ... how do you feel about my dad dating your mom ? carly : yeah , you just startled me , that 's all . jennifer : really ? the way you were rushing out , it just seemed like something bad had happened . carly : i 'm -- i 'm pressed for time . i have appointments coming up , and i left my phone at home , so i just have enough time to go there and come back . i 'll see you later , okay ? daniel : hey , there you are . jennifer : hey . daniel : i was looking for you . i have a very serious question for you . so , what do you think ? jennifer : what ? um , i 'm sorry . i 'm sorry , what did you say ? daniel : i 'm flattered . i asked if you were busy this weekend -- kind of rakishly , i might add -- and i brought you to stunned silence . jennifer : oh , i 'm sorry . i , um -- okay , i am not busy this weekend . and , uh , i did n't know that was rakishness . i thought it was your onion bagel that disagreed with you . daniel : tell me why i like you again ? jennifer : um , i 'm adorable ? daniel : yeah ... jennifer : daniel , i got ta go . i got ta go right now . daniel : all right . another p.r . emergency , i guess . [ exhales ] wow . bo : our guy watching the house says that ej is n't there but stefano is . he 's , uh , talking to lexie . hope : i 'm starting to think he 's never going to leave the house . bo : eh . if i know stefano , he 'll want to be in on the hunt for rafe . probably insist on killing him himself . hope : i agree . which is exactly why we need to get to them before they get to rafe . bo : yeah . stefano : and now his great idea is to ask taylor to marry him . lexie : and you object and are thinking of interfering . how new and unusual . how out of character . stefano : [ sighs ] i have never found sarcasm attractive . lexie : father . we 're talking about ej . if there is anyone on this earth more stubborn than you , it 's him . i mean , what -- what outcome do you see coming from barging in on this very personal , private moment ? stefano : it gives me the right to say `` i told you so `` when it all blows up in his face . lexie : [ laughs ] you are unbelievable ! stefano : eh . lexie : well , at least you 're honest . stefano : eh . lexie : [ short laugh ] stefano : [ groaning ] women . wives . always been elvis 's achilles heel . but this is different . i mean ... here we have samantha . she 's an ambitious schemer , eh ? nicole is a money - grubbing slut . and , uh ... taylor ... she 's a decent , moral woman . hmm . she is the most dangerous of them all . ej : what do we have ? taylor , what do we have ? [ scoffs ] we love one another . and we -- we want -- we need to be together . that has n't changed for me . taylor : okay , okay . that 's the love part , but ... come on , did it ever make us happy ? ej : when we were alone together ? absolutely . taylor : okay , but you did n't ask me to be alone with you . you asked me to marry you . you asked me to spend a life with you . and honestly , sweetheart , you are never alone . you are totally and completely ensnared with -- by your family . and -- and that -- that house . ej : is that what this is about ? taylor : i - i do n't know . i do n't know , okay ? i do n't know what this is about . i do n't know exactly what it is i am feeling right now . or -- it 's -- this is no time to make this decision . ej : so what , you just -- you just want to wait until all of these things are settled ? taylor : or at least settled down . yeah . and then we can talk . ej : talk . oh , talk ? no , i disagree , taylor . i think that we should make a decision when these things are up in the air . when they 're mixed up . when -- when it would be illogical or irrational or impulsive or romantic . i think we should just agree to get married . and if we 're not going to get married , i think we should call it a day . quinn : so you still have n't answered my question . why did you come back here to salem ? vivian : you mean you do n't already know that ? it 's not exactly classified information . quinn : you do n't think i 've been checking up on you , do you ? vivian : oh , i most certainly do . quinn : i did find out you married victor kiriakis while you were here . i guess my invitation must 've got lost in the mail . vivian : now , that was a lovely day . all the people i despise the most in one little room . quinn : the marriage did n't last , did it ? vivian : well , you know . sometimes a great love and a great passion are a conflagration instead of a slow - burning fire . quinn : and he got ticked off you put his girlfriend in a coffin . vivian : oh , you have been checking up . quinn : so why do n't you just level with me ? all right ? come on , ma , open up . let -- let 's start building that bridge . vivian : i hate it when you do that . quinn : i know . okay , here 's what i think . i think you came back here for the same reason you think i did . revenge . you came back to get carly manning ... and failed miserably . carly : [ sighs ] jennifer : did you find your phone ? carly : what ? no , i just -- i got -- i just got here . i ... what ... what are you doing here ? jennifer : well , i guess for lack of a better term , you would call this an intervention , carly . lexie : [ sighs ] i 'm sure i 'm wasting my breath telling you not to interfere . since when do you listen to my advice ? stefano : since ... never . [ chuckles ] now , look . you do n't really believe i could lose him because of this , huh ? lexie : well , i mean , you said yourself that taylor might just be the most dangerous woman he 's ever been involved with . stefano : well ... marriage is not for these two . i mean , she does n't want this life . lexie : maybe he 'll give it up for her . stefano : i 'm afraid it 's too late for that . taylor : okay , maybe you have n't noticed this about me , but i really -- i really do n't like ultimatums . ej : i - i know that . taylor : okay , and if you think that you 're going to scare me into saying yes to something as important as getting married , you 're sorely mistaken . ej : this is not a ploy . it 's not , all right ? i understand ploys do n't work with you . taylor : okay , so let me be clear about this . you 're saying that if i wo n't marry you , then we should call the whole thing off . ej : bottom line is that the way things are is the way that things are going to stay . things are n't going to calm down . these issues are not going to resolve themselves . but we love each other because we 're compatible . we love each other in spite of everything . taylor : uh ... so you 're just asking me to take a leap of faith ? ej : yes ! yes . taylor : [ stuttering ] ej : yes . taylor : okay , okay . listen to me , all right ? just ... but are you saying that if -- if -- i ca n't commit , make some big commitment , then we need to call it quits ? ej : i 'm saying ... if you have doubts about us , then i do n't think that we have a chance . abigail : i keep telling you , i have no problem with your dad dating my mom . melanie : well , no . i just -- i feel like there 's a - a `` but `` there somewhere . abigail : possibly , but i , uh , i do n't like talking about things that are stupid . melanie : yeah , well , nobody does . [ chuckles ] abigail : you know , i think that i have a pretty objective eye on , uh , my father and the things that he does and -- and does n't do . and i think that my mom is moving on in a very strong , empowering way . melanie : so you want your parents to get back together ? abigail : yeah . yeah , like i said , it 's stupid . melanie : well , i 'm stupid too then , i guess , because i want the same thing for my parents . carly : i 'm sorry . i do n't know what you 're talking about . jennifer : carly , do you know what i love best about you ? it is that you talk truth , so there is no point in dancing around this right now . carly : you know , i am way behind schedule . jennifer : you are an addict . and -- and i 'm not guessing . i know you are . carly : no . you 're overreacting . yeah , i 've been a little stressed out -- jennifer : carly , the white powder that you told me was aspirin , i had it analyzed . you are doing drugs and you are lying about it . and i am not going to let you keep on doing that . bo : [ shushing ] taylor : so it 's not about whether we love each other or not ? no ? ej : no , no . taylor : it 's about ... whether i have faith in you ? ej : yes . and i 'm afraid there is not a single actuarial formula that you can apply to help you figure this one out . taylor : i do n't need one . look , i love you . and i do have faith in you . so ... [ laughs ] ej : uh - huh ? taylor : yes ... ej : yes , what ? taylor : [ laughing ] yes . ej : yes , what ? taylor : i will marry you . ej : say -- say it again ? taylor : i will marry you . [ doorbell rings ] rafe : [ whooshing noises ] mary : oh , my . rafe : [ laughs ] i hope you do n't mind . i picked up johnny from school . quinn : i 've hurt your feelings , have n't i ? i did n't think that was possible . vivian : carly manning murdered my sweet lawrence in cold blood . and as a result , your cousin nicholas is totally traumatized . and she -- she put a bullet through her daughter , and she walked away scot - free . and yes , i want her to pay for it . and yes , i failed miserably . and it torments me . and you fling it in my face and are surprised that it hurts my feelings ? quinn : so you 've just given up ? vivian : excuse me ? quinn : it seems to me that you 've just thrown in the towel . vivian : you do n't know who this woman is . she 's made of teflon . carly manning will do anything to anyone , and no one has the guts to stop her . carly : wow . you broke into my room ? jennifer : yeah , i 'm way out of line , carly . you 're writing prescriptions for katerina von leuschner ? do you realize you could lose your license for doing that ? carly : you ca n't prove that . jennifer : that -- that 's what you 're concerned about ? whether or not i can prove that ? you 're lying to daniel . you 're lying to your daughter . you 're lying to me . you 're risking the lives of your patients -- carly : no , no , that never happened . i was always in control . you saw me with daniel . i helped save ej 's life . jennifer : okay , so you 're admitting that you 're high , but you have it all under control , right ? is n't that what all addicts say , carly ? `` oh , i 've got it under control . i 've got it all under control . `` carly : stop calling me that ! jennifer : stop being that ! what is wrong with you that you do not see the seriousness of this ? what -- what -- what would have happened if someone besides me found this out , carly ? carly : okay . all right . look , i ... it 's over . i made a mistake . i made a big mistake . it wo n't happen again , and i am fine . jennifer : oh , yeah , you 're fine . i can see that . life gets so hard that you turn to drugs in order to function , but now everything 's different . everything 's just fine . i 'm fine now . right , carly ? is that what you 're telling me ? i 'm just fine -- carly : just stop that ! just stop yelling at me , okay ? jennifer : i would rather strangle you right now , but i 'm not going to . carly : mm . jennifer : i - i love you . i look up to you . i want my daughter to be like you . i am so mad at you that you are doing this to yourself . but look at me , right now . i am going to do whatever it takes to help you through this . taylor : wait , wait , wait . ej : no . taylor : no what ? ej : no , we 're missing something . taylor : oh ...

bo : meaning i 'm going to ask you to do something pretty dangerous . rafe : well , you do n't have to sell me on it , bo . just tell me when and where . melanie : hey . mind if i join you ? abigail : hey . yeah , have a seat . melanie : you okay ? you look , like , frustrated . abigail : yeah , this is just , uh ... this is how i look after dealing with chad . correction , this is how i look after dealing with chad dimera . melanie : ooh . well , that is a very potent last name . abigail : see , uh , it 's -- it 's weird . i think that he 's totally convinced that he can handle it . you know , being a dimera . and i ... i like him , melanie . i really like him . but it 's like when he talks about stefano , he thinks that he 's cool or something , you know , and not a thug . and i get that he really -- that chad , i get that he really wants a dad in his life . but ... uh , that was coherent . melanie : no , uh , i think i got -- i mean , well , look . my last name was kiriakis for a while , so i kind of understand what you 're talking about . abigail : you know what i think ? i think that we should raise boys in laboratories with no influence from their families until they are old enough for us to date them . melanie : i like that idea . and then i think that we should -- we should train them . abigail : oh , genius . yes . oh , god . melanie : are you sure that 's all that 's bothering you ? abigail : yeah , you want there to be something more ? melanie : no , no . i just , um , i was -- maybe -- i was just thinking , now -- now that our parents are -- are getting serious ... how do you feel about my dad dating your mom ? carly : yeah , you just startled me , that 's all . jennifer : really ? the way you were rushing out , it just seemed like something bad had happened . carly : i 'm -- i 'm pressed for time . i have appointments coming up , and i left my phone at home , so i just have enough time to go there and come back . i 'll see you later , okay ? daniel : hey , there you are . jennifer : hey . daniel : i was looking for you . i have a very serious question for you . so , what do you think ? jennifer : what ? um , i 'm sorry . i 'm sorry , what did you say ? daniel : i 'm flattered . i asked if you were busy this weekend -- kind of rakishly , i might add -- and i brought you to stunned silence . jennifer : oh , i 'm sorry . i , um -- okay , i am not busy this weekend . and , uh , i did n't know that was rakishness . i thought it was your onion bagel that disagreed with you . daniel : tell me why i like you again ? jennifer : um , i 'm adorable ? daniel : yeah ... jennifer : daniel , i got ta go . i got ta go right now . daniel : all right . another p.r . emergency , i guess . [ exhales ] wow . bo : our guy watching the house says that ej is n't there but stefano is . he 's , uh , talking to lexie . hope : i 'm starting to think he 's never going to leave the house . bo : eh . if i know stefano , he 'll want to be in on the hunt for rafe . probably insist on killing him himself . hope : i agree . which is exactly why we need to get to them before they get to rafe . bo : yeah . stefano : and now his great idea is to ask taylor to marry him . lexie : and you object and are thinking of interfering . how new and unusual . how out of character . stefano : [ sighs ] i have never found sarcasm attractive . lexie : father . we 're talking about ej . if there is anyone on this earth more stubborn than you , it 's him . i mean , what -- what outcome do you see coming from barging in on this very personal , private moment ? stefano : it gives me the right to say `` i told you so `` when it all blows up in his face . lexie : [ laughs ] you are unbelievable ! stefano : eh . lexie : well , at least you 're honest . stefano : eh . lexie : [ short laugh ] stefano : [ groaning ] women . wives . always been elvis 's achilles heel . but this is different . i mean ... here we have samantha . she 's an ambitious schemer , eh ? nicole is a money - grubbing slut . and , uh ... taylor ... she 's a decent , moral woman . hmm . she is the most dangerous of them all . ej : what do we have ? taylor , what do we have ? [ scoffs ] we love one another . and we -- we want -- we need to be together . that has n't changed for me . taylor : okay , okay . that 's the love part , but ... come on , did it ever make us happy ? ej : when we were alone together ? absolutely . taylor : okay , but you did n't ask me to be alone with you . you asked me to marry you . you asked me to spend a life with you . and honestly , sweetheart , you are never alone . you are totally and completely ensnared with -- by your family . and -- and that -- that house . ej : is that what this is about ? taylor : i - i do n't know . i do n't know , okay ? i do n't know what this is about . i do n't know exactly what it is i am feeling right now . or -- it 's -- this is no time to make this decision . ej : so what , you just -- you just want to wait until all of these things are settled ? taylor : or at least settled down . yeah . and then we can talk . ej : talk . oh , talk ? no , i disagree , taylor . i think that we should make a decision when these things are up in the air . when they 're mixed up . when -- when it would be illogical or irrational or impulsive or romantic . i think we should just agree to get married . and if we 're not going to get married , i think we should call it a day . quinn : so you still have n't answered my question . why did you come back here to salem ? vivian : you mean you do n't already know that ? it 's not exactly classified information . quinn : you do n't think i 've been checking up on you , do you ? vivian : oh , i most certainly do . quinn : i did find out you married victor kiriakis while you were here . i guess my invitation must 've got lost in the mail . vivian : now , that was a lovely day . all the people i despise the most in one little room . quinn : the marriage did n't last , did it ? vivian : well , you know . sometimes a great love and a great passion are a conflagration instead of a slow - burning fire . quinn : and he got ticked off you put his girlfriend in a coffin . vivian : oh , you have been checking up . quinn : so why do n't you just level with me ? all right ? come on , ma , open up . let -- let 's start building that bridge . vivian : i hate it when you do that . quinn : i know . okay , here 's what i think . i think you came back here for the same reason you think i did . revenge . you came back to get carly manning ... and failed miserably . carly : [ sighs ] jennifer : did you find your phone ? carly : what ? no , i just -- i got -- i just got here . i ... what ... what are you doing here ? jennifer : well , i guess for lack of a better term , you would call this an intervention , carly . lexie : [ sighs ] i 'm sure i 'm wasting my breath telling you not to interfere . since when do you listen to my advice ? stefano : since ... never . [ chuckles ] now , look . you do n't really believe i could lose him because of this , huh ? lexie : well , i mean , you said yourself that taylor might just be the most dangerous woman he 's ever been involved with . stefano : well ... marriage is not for these two . i mean , she does n't want this life . lexie : maybe he 'll give it up for her . stefano : i 'm afraid it 's too late for that . taylor : okay , maybe you have n't noticed this about me , but i really -- i really do n't like ultimatums . ej : i - i know that . taylor : okay , and if you think that you 're going to scare me into saying yes to something as important as getting married , you 're sorely mistaken . ej : this is not a ploy . it 's not , all right ? i understand ploys do n't work with you . taylor : okay , so let me be clear about this . you 're saying that if i wo n't marry you , then we should call the whole thing off . ej : bottom line is that the way things are is the way that things are going to stay . things are n't going to calm down . these issues are not going to resolve themselves . but we love each other because we 're compatible . we love each other in spite of everything . taylor : uh ... so you 're just asking me to take a leap of faith ? ej : yes ! yes . taylor : [ stuttering ] ej : yes . taylor : okay , okay . listen to me , all right ? just ... but are you saying that if -- if -- i ca n't commit , make some big commitment , then we need to call it quits ? ej : i 'm saying ... if you have doubts about us , then i do n't think that we have a chance . abigail : i keep telling you , i have no problem with your dad dating my mom . melanie : well , no . i just -- i feel like there 's a - a `` but `` there somewhere . abigail : possibly , but i , uh , i do n't like talking about things that are stupid . melanie : yeah , well , nobody does . [ chuckles ] abigail : you know , i think that i have a pretty objective eye on , uh , my father and the things that he does and -- and does n't do . and i think that my mom is moving on in a very strong , empowering way . melanie : so you want your parents to get back together ? abigail : yeah . yeah , like i said , it 's stupid . melanie : well , i 'm stupid too then , i guess , because i want the same thing for my parents . carly : i 'm sorry . i do n't know what you 're talking about . jennifer : carly , do you know what i love best about you ? it is that you talk truth , so there is no point in dancing around this right now . carly : you know , i am way behind schedule . jennifer : you are an addict . and -- and i 'm not guessing . i know you are . carly : no . you 're overreacting . yeah , i 've been a little stressed out -- jennifer : carly , the white powder that you told me was aspirin , i had it analyzed . you are doing drugs and you are lying about it . and i am not going to let you keep on doing that . bo : [ shushing ] taylor : so it 's not about whether we love each other or not ? no ? ej : no , no . taylor : it 's about ... whether i have faith in you ? ej : yes . and i 'm afraid there is not a single actuarial formula that you can apply to help you figure this one out . taylor : i do n't need one . look , i love you . and i do have faith in you . so ... [ laughs ] ej : uh - huh ? taylor : yes ... ej : yes , what ? taylor : [ laughing ] yes . ej : yes , what ? taylor : i will marry you . ej : say -- say it again ? taylor : i will marry you .

[ laughs ] [ clears throat ] ej : taylor . taylor : yes ? ej : will you marry me ? taylor : yes . yes , i will marry you . [ giggles ] ej : what ? oh , god . would you just go away ? please ? stefano : go away ? no . no , no , no , no . it seems that there are congratulations in order here . taylor , welcome to the family . elvis is a lucky man . uh ... would you excuse us for just a moment ? ej : no . taylor : [ stammering ] ej . ej ? we just took a leap of faith . right ? ej : right . taylor : so if your father needs to speak to you ... does n't change anything between the two of us . oh . thank you . ej : i know what you 're going to say , and i do n't want to hear it . stefano : no , you do n't . i 'm not here to rain on your parade , all right ? i 'm here to tell you that we have some terrible problems . rafe : [ airplane noises ] [ laughs ] you know , it had been a long time since i 'd seen johnny , so i figured i 'd surprise him and pick him up at school . it was a good surprise , was n't it , my man ? mary : let me just find mr. dimera and tell him you 're here . rafe : yeah , no need to do that . the dimeras are not here right now . hey , listen . buddy . will you give them a message for me , since i missed them ? 'cause i care about them so much ? just tell 'em next time they come down those stairs , i want them to be really , really careful . okay . stefano : she 's a lovely girl . ej : [ sighs ] stefano : i wonder if her sister is going to give her a bridal shower . ej : mm . you 're boring me , father . stefano : oh , my goodness gracious , we must never do that . uh - huh . first , let me say that i certainly want you to be happy . and i also know that there is nothing i could say or do to change your mind when it comes to this marriage . ej : thank you . can i get back to my life now , please ? stefano : there is one more thing i have to tell you . ej : what 's that ? stefano : and that thing could change everything . carly : okay . listen , we do n't have anything to talk about . i had a problem , and it 's over . jennifer : and ... and i accept that ... because you say so . carly : [ scoffs ] you think i 'm lying ? jennifer : no , i do n't think that you are facing reality , carly . carly : i do n't face reality ? i do n't face reality ? the reality of my life is that i lost bo . i lost a patient . i lost my son . i lost ...

steffy : liam sees something in you that i don't . for his sake and yours , i hope he 's right , because if you take advantage of his kind , generous heart ... watch out . wyatt : i 'm waiting . liam : i do n't have to answer to you , wyatt . wyatt : oh , because you 're c.e.o . -- is that it ? -- and that your word is final ? liam : when it comes to the purchase of spectra fashions by spencer publications , yes , as a matter of fact . wyatt : it 's $ 50 million , liam ! you realize that 's what it cost this company , and what do we have to show for it ? absolutely nothing , because you gifted it to sally spectra ! liam : let me tell you something about that fire . wyatt : oh , you feel bad about it . great . good for you . so do i . but you know what ? i would never drop that kind of money on a piece of property that dad wanted and then just give it away . this company has to assume that debt . you know that , right ? does dad know about this ? liam : dad is not c.e.o . anymore , wyatt . i am . wyatt : yeah , for now . you know ... bro , i just -- you are digging a deeper hole for yourself for when dad comes back and is in charge here . ridge : bill ... can you please explain to me all these sudden changes in your life ? bill : nothing to explain . ridge : but there is . you stepped down as c.e.o . you asked liam to take over , and i know you do n't have that much confidence in the guy . i just feel that , somehow , this is all connected to brooke leaving you . bill : shameful how -- how cynical you are . ridge : cynical ? i -- whatever you did , it must have been pretty big ... for brooke to just say she does n't want to have anything to do with you . bill : that 's bull . she never said that . ridge : no , she did n't -- not those words exactly -- but she was upset , upset enough to put some distance between you and her , and it makes me think that she 's realizing that her marriage to you was a big mistake , and it makes me wonder where her beautiful heart is gon na take her next . r.j. : bill did something that hurt you . not that i 'm all surprised . i just did n't expect it to happen so soon . brooke : r.j ... r.j. : okay , okay . i know . it 's between you two . i mean , i just wish you could admit it . brooke : what ? r.j. : that no other man will ever be what dad is to you . bill : you can wipe that smug look off your face . brooke is n't your destiny . ridge : who are you trying to convince ? bill : she 's just a prize to you . once you have her , you take her for granted . it 's what you do . ridge : says the man who did something so despicable , brooke walked out on her marriage five minutes into it . bill : you do n't know what i 've done or have n't done . and for the record , brooke has n't left me . and i would suggest to you that it would be wise to stay the hell out of our lives while we work through it . brooke : i do n't want you worrying about this , sweetheart . r.j. : i 'm not . i just want you to be happy . brooke : i want that , too . r.j. : and i 'm not trying to push anything , okay ?

! what about steffy ? can you handle her ? how 's she taking all this ? liam : she already knows , okay ? wyatt : oh , and she 's not happy about it , is she ? of course she is n't , because you just bought a $ 50 million gift for another woman , who , mind you , has done nothing but torment your wife since the day she got to l.a. now , why would you do that ?

i understand you have these questions . i understand that . but you 're just gon na have to deal with it if you expect to continue here at spencer . wyatt : wow . i mean , who -- who are you right now ? where 's my brother ? i do n't -- i do n't even know who this is . i do n't know what you turned into . coco : i saw steffy walking out a while ago . she did n't look happy . sally : well , princess is n't happy about spectra being back in the fashion game , particularly how it happened . ridge : hey . where have you been ? steffy : spectra fashions , or what 's left of it , having a heart to heart with sally . ridge : so , i heard that spectra is n't folding . they 're gon na rebuild . but how did they do that with no money and no insurance ? steffy : i guess they just found another way . ridge : and what is that ? some secret investor somewhere ? steffy : yeah , something like that . so , uh , did you hear brooke left bill ? ridge : yep . i spoke to her . steffy : did you find out why ? ridge : i know why . you know , it 's obvious . the guy showed his true colors . steffy : how ? ridge : i do n't -- i do n't know . she did n't say specifically , but , obviously , it was big enough for brooke to call it quits .

wyatt : no ! no , because you 're -- you 're way beyond that . like , you 're just -- you 're some vigilante do - gooder who 's just turning his back on his entire family , and then -- and then you give the keys of the kingdom to these people ! liam : `` these people `` ?

we 're better than the spectras . we 're better than the rest of the employees here at spencer . well , wrong . these are good , hardworking , decent people , and they deserve to be rewarded . wyatt : right . right , because -- because sally spectra is such a good , decent person . i mean , have you forgotten all the crazy things she 's pulled ?

sally : all right . let 's see . um ... you have a problem with your husband gifting spectra to me ... steffy : yeah , i do . sally : ... and you are also putting me on notice that if i go back to my cheating ways , which , by the way , are over -- steffy : you 'll have hell to pay . sally : from you ? steffy : liam sees something in you that i don't . for his sake and yours , i hope he 's right , because if you take advantage of his kind , generous heart ... watch out . wyatt : i 'm waiting . liam : i do n't have to answer to you , wyatt . wyatt : oh , because you 're c.e.o . -- is that it ? -- and that your word is final ? liam : when it comes to the purchase of spectra fashions by spencer publications , yes , as a matter of fact . wyatt : it 's $ 50 million , liam ! you realize that 's what it cost this company , and what do we have to show for it ? absolutely nothing , because you gifted it to sally spectra ! liam : let me tell you something about that fire . wyatt : oh , you feel bad about it . great . good for you . so do i . but you know what ? i would never drop that kind of money on a piece of property that dad wanted and then just give it away . this company has to assume that debt . you know that , right ? does dad know about this ? liam : dad is not c.e.o . anymore , wyatt . i am . wyatt : yeah , for now . you know ... bro , i just -- you are digging a deeper hole for yourself for when dad comes back and is in charge here . ridge : bill ... can you please explain to me all these sudden changes in your life ? bill : nothing to explain . ridge : but there is . you stepped down as c.e.o . you asked liam to take over , and i know you do n't have that much confidence in the guy . i just feel that , somehow , this is all connected to brooke leaving you . bill : shameful how -- how cynical you are . ridge : cynical ? i -- whatever you did , it must have been pretty big ... for brooke to just say she does n't want to have anything to do with you . bill : that 's bull . she never said that . ridge : no , she did n't -- not those words exactly -- but she was upset , upset enough to put some distance between you and her , and it makes me think that she 's realizing that her marriage to you was a big mistake , and it makes me wonder where her beautiful heart is gon na take her next . r.j. : bill did something that hurt you . not that i 'm all surprised . i just did n't expect it to happen so soon . brooke : r.j ... r.j. : okay , okay . i know . it 's between you two . i mean , i just wish you could admit it . brooke : what ? r.j. : that no other man will ever be what dad is to you . bill : you can wipe that smug look off your face . brooke is n't your destiny . ridge : who are you trying to convince ? bill : she 's just a prize to you . once you have her , you take her for granted . it 's what you do . ridge : says the man who did something so despicable , brooke walked out on her marriage five minutes into it . bill : you do n't know what i 've done or have n't done . and for the record , brooke has n't left me . and i would suggest to you that it would be wise to stay the hell out of our lives while we work through it . brooke : i do n't want you worrying about this , sweetheart . r.j. : i 'm not . i just want you to be happy . brooke : i want that , too . r.j. : and i 'm not trying to push anything , okay ? it 's -- i know you guys had your issues , too . but i think dad 's really the man who makes you happy , and i think you know that , too . wyatt : come on . you 've got to know dad 's gon na go ballistic on you when he finds out you gave away spectra ! liam : i can handle him , wyatt . wyatt : really ? ! what about steffy ? can you handle her ? how 's she taking all this ? liam : she already knows , okay ? wyatt : oh , and she 's not happy about it , is she ? of course she is n't , because you just bought a $ 50 million gift for another woman , who , mind you , has done nothing but torment your wife since the day she got to l.a. now , why would you do that ? it does n't make any sense ! sally : wow . okay . so , you really do n't think much of me . steffy : i feel bad for spectra fashions . sally : but that does n't give me permission to take advantage of your husband 's decency . i 'm not . i never asked anything of liam , okay ? the fire was not his fault . it was an accident . look , princess , you really are a princess , and you married a prince . i will pay him back every penny , my promise . steffy : why should i believe anything you say ? sally : because i 've changed . steffy : sally , i 'm telling you ... do not lie , cheat , or steal or make my husband regret what he 's done . liam might not come after you , but i will . are we clear ? liam : okay . this is getting us nowhere . wyatt : uh , because you refuse to tell me about this little giveaway with spectra and what it 's all about . liam : fine , wyatt . it 's confidential . i 'm not at liberty to say . sorry . wyatt : oh , my god . what does that even mean ? ! `` i 'm not at liberty to say `` ? why all the secrecy , bro ? i - i 'm your v.p . here at spencer . i 'm your brother . liam : so you keep reminding me . wyatt : i just -- i want an explanation for the whole transfer and what it means for spencer publications . i mean , come on ! otherwise -- liam : listen . listen to me . listen . i 'm in control now , okay ? i understand you have these questions . i understand that . but you 're just gon na have to deal with it if you expect to continue here at spencer . wyatt : wow . i mean , who -- who are you right now ? where 's my brother ? i do n't -- i do n't even know who this is . i do n't know what you turned into . coco : i saw steffy walking out a while ago . she did n't look happy . sally : well , princess is n't happy about spectra being back in the fashion game , particularly how it happened . ridge : hey . where have you been ? steffy : spectra fashions , or what 's left of it , having a heart to heart with sally . ridge : so , i heard that spectra is n't folding . they 're gon na rebuild . but how did they do that with no money and no insurance ? steffy : i guess they just found another way . ridge : and what is that ? some secret investor somewhere ? steffy : yeah , something like that . so , uh , did you hear brooke left bill ? ridge : yep . i spoke to her . steffy : did you find out why ? ridge : i know why . you know , it 's obvious . the guy showed his true colors . steffy : how ? ridge : i do n't -- i do n't know . she did n't say specifically , but , obviously , it was big enough for brooke to call it quits . [ door opens ] brooke : r.j. , did you forget someth -- [ door closes ] bill : i was concerned that if you knew it was me at the door , you would n't let me in . brooke : [ sighs ] bill : i 'm sorry , brooke . i want you to come home . coco : you still have n't told me who your guardian angel is . like , sal , who saved spectra ? sally : let 's just say it 's someone who will always have a special place in my heart . that is all you 're getting out of me , little sis ... for now . liam : wyatt , i - i am trying to take this company in a more responsible direction . you understand ? wyatt : no ! no , because you 're -- you 're way beyond that . like , you 're just -- you 're some vigilante do - gooder who 's just turning his back on his entire family , and then -- and then you give the keys of the kingdom to these people ! liam : `` these people `` ? wyatt : yeah . liam : `` these people `` ? that 's how you think of anybody who is n't a spencer ? wyatt : [ groans ] liam : well , i got news for you , wyatt . the spectras may not have been born with a silver spoon in their mouths , but neither were we ! we are `` these people . `` wyatt : i know that ! that 's not what i 'm saying . liam : no , that is what -- no , that is what you 're saying . you 're saying that because our family has money , because our family has social status , we 're better than them , right ? we 're better than the spectras . we 're better than the rest of the employees here at spencer . well , wrong . these are good , hardworking , decent people , and they deserve to be rewarded . wyatt : right . right , because -- because sally spectra is such a good , decent person . i mean , have you forgotten all the crazy things she 's pulled ? because i 'm sure your wife has n't forgotten ! liam : look at me . look at me . i am not saying that sally is perfect . she 's human . she 's done things she regrets , just like you , just like me . but she is trying . she is trying to change all of that . wyatt : well , fantastic . you know , i really hope she succeeds . but i just -- i want -- i just want an explanation . why -- why would you give that building -- liam : it 's -- i did n't give it , wyatt . she 's gon na pay me back -- every cent . wyatt : oh , my god . please , please tell me you have that in writing . liam : stop . i do n't need it in writing , okay ? i trust her . wyatt : you trust her ? ! you can not run a major corporation with all their great employees based on trust ! has dad not taught you anything ? ! liam : like what ? ! how to lie , cheat , and steal your way to the top ? wyatt : [ sighs ] liam : how to profit on the back of the little guy ? how to make conflicts of interest not just a business plan but a way of life ? i 'm sorry , but after everything he 's done to sabotage her , i feel for sally . she 's got guts . she 's got drive . she 's got a boatload of talent . and for once , i 'm gon na see to it that she gets the chance she deserves . wyatt : wow . you know , the way -- the way you 're talking about sally right now , defending her and everything -- hey , be honest with me , bro . do you -- do you have a thing for the redhead ? steffy : did brooke say she 's leaving bill for good ? ridge : not in those words exactly , but , uh , yeah . steffy : maybe a little wishful thinking ? ridge : m - maybe . listen , you know how i feel about spencer , and i always said that he was n't right for brooke , and now ... they 've proved my point . i just wonder -- steffy : wonder what ? ridge : [ sighs ] i wonder if all these changes in bill 's life -- you know , stepping down as c.e.o . and putting liam in charge -- i just wonder if that 's connected to -- to brooke leaving him in some way . that 's all . steffy : let me ask you , now that , uh , brooke is not with bill and their marriage is over . what does that mean for the two of you ? ridge : me and brooke ? i mean , i 'm always gon na love her , and i 'll always be there for her . bill : i went by forrester . i thought i might find you there . instead , i had the displeasure of bumping into the dressmaker . brooke : please tell me you did n't get into anything . bill : well , i did n't knock him out , if that 's what you 're asking . i 've learned my lesson . brooke , i know that you 're -- you 're upset and -- and disillusioned with me . i do n't blame you . i 'm upset and disillusioned with myself . i mean , i let my ego , my need for power and control , get the best of me . if i could go back and undo everything i did , i would . ordering the fire ... striking my son -- i mean , striking -- striking my son . i lost my head . i lost -- i lost all perspective , and why ?

billy : so this is about me . marah : no , dad was involved , too . billy : involved in what ? marah : powder in the drinks , guys in the car , you , dad . ed bauer , buzz cooper , alan spaulding , and a woman and everyone was having fun , until the car drove off cutter 's bridge . marina : the young woman died that night , her name was ... michelle : maryanne caruthers . she had a full life ahead of her . marah : but it ended that night . and she was forgotten for nearly 30 years . billy : well , that 's nice , but it sounds more like a local legend . marina : you think this is something i just happened to hear around town ? this is a secret that 's been hidden for almost three decades . michelle : maryanne ca n't be forgotten any more , dad . ed : please stop this . michelle : i know what happened . look , i ca n't say that i understand all the torture you must have felt all these years . ed : please , please , these are lies ! these are all lies ! michelle : dad , i want to help you . billy : we do n't need your help because there 's nothing to help with . now , why do n't you understand that ?

michelle : then i brought up the name maryanne caruthers and the look on your face and the way you 're acting right now . marina : you did n't want anyone to die . i know that , you were young , you were drinking . when the car hit the water you must have been terrified . marah : it must have been horrible . if the water was rising in the car , people were probably yelling , afraid of drowning . michelle : could you even breathe ? could you even think of anything but getting yourself out of there ? i mean , if you had n't nearly died , you would have saved maryanne , if you could . but you swam for shore , thankful to be alive , and then , and then you realized that she was n't there . she was gone . with one stupid horrible moment . ed : this is not my life . michelle : and you must have been wondering all these years if could you have saved her . ed : no . michelle : you must have been wondering if , if you let her die . ed : i told you once , now you shut your mouth ! michelle : no , i wo n't ! because i want to know the truth and i want to hear you say it . ed : i did n't do anything ! i did nothing michelle : oh , dad , say it , tell me ! ed : you are not talking about me , this is not me . michelle : tell me , dad ! dad ! ed : i did nothing ! ( smack ) ed : i never thought i could hit you . michelle : we just fell down a black hole , did n't we ? we can stop . we can all stop if we just help each other . you spent a lifetime saving people , dad . what happened that night ? i just want to understand . ed : michelle , who is spreading these lies ? buzz : someone out there is puttin ' this stuff in your head , i want to know who it is . marina : so you 're not going to answer my questions . buzz : what 's driving me crazy is , they 're taking advantage of your heart , your wonderful huge heart , it 's not fair to you , it 's not fair to who you are . marina : what i want to know , grandpa , is who are you ? billy : first you tell us we 're heroes , then you say we left a woman in a river to drown ? marah : dad , you 've never lied to me . at least i do n't think you have . why are you not saying anything ? billy : marah , he 's got nothing to say , ca n't you see you 're breaking his heart ? i mean , none of this makes any sense . marah : that does n't mean it 's not true . billy : for the last time , we do n't know anybody named maryanne caruthers and frankly we 're getting a little upset that you 're taking somebody else 's word over ours . someone 's turning you against your kin . now , i think you should tell us just exactly who it is . josh : billy . michelle : it does n't matter who told me . ed : because somebody out there obviously hates me , and is trying to poison your mind against me . now , i want you to tell me who it is . buzz : you always told me everything , at least what i could bear to hear . tell me who it is , i 'll make them leave you alone . billy : marah , i 'm not going to baby you like your daddy does , especially when you 're not showing us a shred of respect . now , if you 're not going to tell us who 's got you all twisted up , then maybe you better just leave . josh : i 'm sorry . marah : this is not over , dad . and we both know that it 's not going away . gus : i 'm going to get in touch with frank down at the station , see if i can get a break on this car . alan : you do n't have to do that , do n't bother yourself with that , gus . gus : it 's no bother . this for you ? whoa , smell the perfume on this thing . hey , is this from a lady friend ? come to think of it , i never have seen you even holding a lady 's hand or a date or anything , maybe you got a new love interest you 're not telling me . i 'm prying , sorry , should n't pry . good enough . marina : this is for you . billy : what are these ? marah : i think you know . i want to hear your side , dad . and i will never judge you . you taught me to be fair , and i will try and do that . michelle : what you do with this letter is up to you . but you should know that someone was there , sad , and they saw everything . the crash , the scramble to shore , the five of you leaving the scene . i just came to deliver this , and now you have it . marina : i love you . good luck . billy : josh , hey , what are you going to tell her ? josh : i do n't know . does n't matter , she 's never going to trust me again , she 's never gon na believe in me again . billy : well , to save the world as you know it , that 's the price you may have to pay . ed : excuse me . carrie : now you will know . now you will all know what has always been true . alan : next on guiding light ... cassie : that little girl was taken away from you , olivia , through no fault of your own . olivia : i ca n't . i ca n't . thank you , i 'm sorry . shayne : you guys are n't going believe this . reva : why , what is it , what 's wrong ? shane : it 's what 's right , i can feel something in my legs . buzz : it is n't how much the kids are going to find out about , the question is how soon are they going to be able to prove it . | josh , billy , ed , alan and buzz have renewed their promise to keep quiet about the accident thirty years ago and their cover up of maryanne caruthers 's death . as they separate , each man tries to get back to his life . alan questions gus about the investigation into his car they pulled from the river . buzz begins to sweat when frank explains that they still hope to find evidence in the sunken wreck . josh and ed appear on the verge of cracking . ed is finding it harder to perform his duties as a doctor . only billy can stem josh 's urge to come clean with his family . | <s>[INST] alan : we 've made it this far on the strength of an unshakeable oath . each man made a promise on the river bank that terrible night to remain silent and take it to our grave . so it must be . _ consensus onum _ . _ alan / billy / buzz / josh / ed : by the consensus of all . _ buzz : i hate it when he talks like that . all that 's missing is black robes and a goat to sacrifice . ed : it 's serious , is n't it ? buzz : as if any of us needs reminding . _ alan : ( latin ) hic et num ex volto _ _ alan / billy / buzz / josh / ed : here and now , according to one 's vow . _ _ alan : ( latin ) _ _ alan / billy / buzz / josh / ed : agreements must be kept . the outcome justifies the deed . _ alan : if any of you doubt that , look at our lives , each of us has prospered in his own way . are any of you willing to have that taken from us ? buzz : why do n't we just tell the truth and throw it all away ? _ alan : let questions be asked , there are no answers if we remain silent . ( latin ) _ _ alan / billy / buzz / josh / ed : he who remains silent consents . _ alan : maryanne caruthers has no family left , no one can know what happened that night , not the police , not marah , marina nor michelle . whatever occurred after the car was stolen has nothing to do with us . we do n't know anything about the girl , the bridge , the car , or anything else related to maryanne caruthers . are you willing to risk your families , your futures , your good names ? beware of the guilty mind , gentlemen . guilt is for the weak . we have to risk it all . for our families , our livelihood and ourselves . we stay together until the end . josh : the end may be now . billy : what are you mumbling out there ? josh : ( latin ) billy : what 's that you said ? josh : it 's latin . billy : oh , yeah , i thought alan was the only one who was going to bore us with latin . what does it mean ? josh : i have sinned . marah : are we talking about murder ? if anything this was an accident . carrie : an accident ? or reckless disregard for human life . there are men rotting in jail for less . we all know who caused this accident that resulted in death . michelle : look , we hear what you 're saying , carrie , it 's just really hard to believe . carrie : i know it 's very hard to believe that these good citizens , your fathers and your grandfathers , could do anything like that . but maryanne caruthers is dead . she was prevented from living . marina : yeah , but , uh , how do we know that my grandfather did n't try to save her , or josh or billy or your dad ? michelle , your dad is a doctor , he 's a good doctor ... he would n't just let someone drown . and even alan is n't that bad . carrie : and all these good men have never said anything for 30 years . now i wonder why that is . marah : maybe because it did n't happen the way you said it did . carrie : it happened ! michelle : even if we take your word for it , what are we supposed to do ? carrie : the choice is up to each of you , but be advised : i know how you love and admire these men who brought you up , but they have kept this secret for 30 years . i think you might think that they might have a great deal to lose . _ alan / billy / buzz / josh / ed : slow down , alan . slow down , you ca n't even see . _ ( screaming ) . alan : so we all agree on this story . gus : alan . alan : oh , gus . you startled me . gus : what 's the matter with you , are you all right ? did you not get enough sleep ? alan : no , i 'm getting five , four hours a night for the past 20 years . i will tell you something , though , there 's something that 's kept me up , thinking about that old jaguar of mine that you found . gus : oh , yeah , the one you parked at the bottom of the river 30 years ago . is n't that funny ? i asked you about it and no reaction from you , and ... but all of a sudden , all of a sudden you 're interested . alan : well , i did n't want to let on at the time , but that was one of my favorite cars . besides , when a detective starts to ask me questions , even if it is my son ... i 'm gus : yeah , apt to lie about it . alan : no , just be cautious , that 's all . all right . you caught me , i 'm interested . tell me , how did they find that car anyway ? was the person who stole it inside ? gus : well , i do n't know what you 're hoping for , alan , but the statute of limitations has expired under any kind of theft , you know ? i mean , if there 's something more to it like , uh , i do n't know , like a murder or something , yeah , we could throw the book at somebody . i 'll tell you what , i will get to the bottom of it for you , okay ? consider it one of the perks of having a cop in the family . ( screaming ) frank : hi , pop . i would have , uh , helped you close , but i got , uh , held up on a case , sorry . buzz : anything interesting ? frank : well , if you like spaulding mysteries . buzz : another one ? ca n't that family ever lead a normal life ? frank : i guess not , we just , uh , pulled a car that was licensed to alan spaulding out of the river . buzz : too bad he was n't in it . was he ? frank : come on , pop , that was over 30 years ago . you remember much about that back then ? buzz : oh , lord , why would i ? frank : that 's right ... you were n't around then , were you ? anyway , thought you would find it amusing that alan 's car was on the bottom of a river for about 30 years . buzz : well , one car does n't make a big deal to alan spaulding , now , does it ? was it stolen or something ? frank : well , we do n't know , that 's just the thing , we do n't know if there were fatalities , or any injuries ... the weird thing was , it was n't even reported . buzz : so you have to look into it . josh : billy , sooner or later somebody is going to figure this thing out , we have to tell the truth , we have to do it now . billy : wait , you put your hand in the sacred circle 30 years ago , you did it again tonight , you have an obligation . josh : what about the obligation i have to my family ? billy : oh , come on , you 're taking care of that . do n't you understand ? this is for your kids , look , this guilt controls your life you got ta hold on to it . josh : the other day reva promised to love and support me no matter what , she -- she renewed herself to me , her body and soul to the man she thinks i am and that man is a lie . i -- billy : no , josh , i know who you were and i know who you have become , the man you 've become , he 's a good man , josh . you got ta believe that . josh : i have to believe that if i stay true to the man i 'm meant to be , everything 's gon na be okay . if we confess this thing . it 'll be tough for a while , but we 'll -- billy : wait , wait ! josh , josh , if we 'd been real men 30 years ago , yes , we would have done the right thing , but we did n't . now what are you going to do , walk in , say `` i 'm sorry , i killed somebody 30 years ago ? `` it does n't work like that . do n't kid yourself on this . there 's other people involved , the bauers and the coopers , and , and you think alan spaulding 's gon na just let this go if we rat him out ? no . it 's too late to be the good guys . josh : somebody 's already tipped off marah and the other girls . what difference does it make -- billy : we just put the hammer down and we deal with the girls , josh , no cops , no tearful confessions . marah : i do n't see how i can go to my father and uncle and straight up accuse them of causing maryanne 's death . and why should i ? carrie : because it 's the right thing to do . marah : for who ? for you ? michelle : for maryanne . marina : but you 're asking us to do something that could destroy all our families . carrie : someone is dead , do n't you believe in justice ? michelle : why us ? why did n't you go to the police ? marah : because she 's playing at something else , you chose us for some reason . carrie : yes , i did choose you for a reason , i thought you had some sense of decency . marah : my father is the most decent man i have ever known , and you come in here with some horrible story and you expect me to throw everything i feel about him out the window ? michelle : and my father as well . carrie : oh , yes , your father , the doctor , `` first do no harm , `` you know yourself he has n't been the same man since we went on this little journey for the truth . and why is that , i wonder ? marah : ok , so you 're saying they have something to hide . but maybe they 're just acting weird because what you 're doing is weird . marina : they have been different . i 'm just saying i 've noticed a change . michelle : we all have . okay , maybe getting everything out in the open will clear things up . i mean , whatever happened that night has obviously been weighing on these men for 30 years . carrie : yes , and they 've all moved on with their lives . they had careers , marriages , families , children . but they have never once looked back until i gave them a reason to do it . marah : you ca n't speak for them , you can not say what they have been thinking and feeling for the last 30 years . carrie : and you ca n't say what 's in their hearts . we wo n't meet here again , this museum has become far too dangerous . marina : okay , well , here 's a question . why ? why are we protecting you at all ? why do n't we just bring you to the guys and let you all hash it out ? carrie : a woman is dead . she has been dead and safely buried for 30 years . until i came back and dug her up . what do you think these men might do to me if they ever thought she would not remain safely buried ? marah : you have no clue about my father if you think he would do anything to you . carrie : perhaps . but if you do choose to confront them again , i have another message for them . marah : more love notes . carrie : this time they 're sealed . marina : what about the fifth ? carrie : it 's for alan spaulding . i 'll deliver it myself . marina : okay . here 's what we could use , we could use a why , ' a reason to do this . carrie : you all know the reasons . this is a secret that 's been eating away at these men for 30 years . you have seen the pain that it 's caused . surely you want to help your fathers . michelle : what are you saying in these letters ? carrie : perhaps they 'll choose to share it with you . i hope they will . perhaps it would give them some peace . i wish you all luck . do whatever you think is right . michelle : okay , we 're all thinking the same thing , right ? marah : that we have to go through with this . marina : no matter where it leads or what it costs . michelle : we 're in too deep . we have no other choice . gus : yeah , but did n't you just want to break somebody 's kneecaps who would steal your beautiful car like that or at least trash their credit or something ? alan : ( laughs ) have i ever spent much time telling you about brandon ? gus : yeah , my grandfather . my grandfather . alan : yeah , yeah . well , he was what was known in his day as a corporate raider , and he tried to mold me into that vein . his idea of a world hero was someone who knew exactly what they needed and would do anything they had to to get it . gus : well , you probably have done a few things that you 're not that proud of , right ? but at least my mother saw , you know , you . the real you . alan : yeah , and i 'm grateful she did . gus : i see some of those things in you . you know , the nicer you , the more generous ... you know , i see that . alan : you 've helped me understand that side of me . and , uh , you being by my side while phillip 's been gone has been very special for me , gus . i want you to know that there is nothing that i wo n't do to reward your faith in me . nothing . buzz : will you stop with alan and the car ? i do n't know anything about it . frank : i 'm not saying you did , pop , i just know you like a good mystery . buzz : since when ? especially when it has to do with alan spaulding . come on , frank . frank : what is the matter with you ? darcy : hello , gentlemen . frank : how are you ? darcy : i 'm good . i have a big surprise for you . frank : you do ? darcy : our bed was delivered today . oh , it 's so luxurious , california king . we do n't even have to touch each other , with the down comforter and silk sheets ... my whole life , this is the first time i 've ever been able to see myself staying in the same bed for the next 40 years . frank : only 40 ? ( laughs ) ooh , sorry , pop , a little too mushy for you , buddy ? buzz : i kind of like it , that 's young love .. young - ish . i like seeing you happy . the coopers are finally doing okay . darcy : yes , we are . buzz : ever swing on a star ? marina is in college , doing great with shayne . harley is in a premarital swoon with gus . the whole family 's blissful . all at once . i 'm proud . can i be proud ? frank : you bet you can , pop . buzz : what we 've done with our lives . what we 're doing . your mom would be proud , she 's up there somewhere smiling . she -- am i getting misty ? frank : what is the matter with you , what 's going on ? darcy : frank ... way to ruin a sweet , fatherly moment . buzz : no , he 's just used to my sweet , but cynical take on things . you two . darcy : thanks , buzz . buzz : i 'm going to go outside and spread salt on the steps or something . darcy : he 's such a good man . frank : he 's the best . darcy : no . marina : hey . buzz : hey . you look like your old man was about to slap the cuffs on somebody . marina : i got something for you . buzz : i knew it could n't last . michelle : dad ? this is for you . josh : hi . marah : hi . we need to talk . billy : hi , marah , what 's up ? buzz : i wo n't take it . marina : can you tell me why ? alan : let questions be asked , there are no answers if we remain silent , no one can know what happened that night , not the police , not marah , marina or michelle . josh : i was n't expecting to see you tonight , darling , it 's a pleasant surprise . marah : you 're an awful liar , dad . billy : oh , come on , if your dad says he 's happy to see you , he 's happy to see you . marah : it 's not about that , it 's about the look he got on his face when he saw these . josh : you want me to order you some room service or something like that ? marah : no . actually , uncle billy i 'm glad that you 're here , too . billy : oh , yeah ? why is that ? marah : you guys remember how crazy shayne was about comic books when he was young ? josh : yeah , he still is . marah : you remember he would always want to act out the scenes and he would pick his favorite character and then he 'd want me to pick a character , but i really did n't know much about the comic book world or anything he was interested in back then . but , so i would pick one of you guys , and he would tell me that , um , you guys did n't have super powers . but i did n't care because to me you were heroes . billy : oh , yeah , that reminds me , i left my cape at the cleaners . marah : dad , i do n't know what i would do without you . and you have done so much for me . and put up with a lot from me . josh : marah . marah : and uncle billy , you 've always been larger than life , you know , and you 've always been straight with me and you 've treated me like a person instead a little kid . billy : this sounds like it 's headin ' to some big crash . marah : i guess i just expected you guys to be perfect . and i know that that 's not fair . and right now i just want you to be honest with me . i just want the truth . marina : even the best people can make honest mistakes . buzz : are you about to give me life advice at the ripe old age of 18 ? marina : well , all i 'm saying is that you can make the wrong choice at the wrong time , you can , you can get scared or feel threatened . ed : all right . now listen to me . i do n't know exactly what you 're getting at , but i have an idea . michelle : i 'm not trying to force the issue . ed : yes , you are ! you are forcing the issue , that 's what you 've been doing from the beginning , the only problem is i do n't know what the issue is . michelle : you know , i used to think you were perfect . ed : i 've never pretended to be something i am not . michelle : no , which is why i need to know the truth . josh : the truth about what ? billy : sweetheart , you have to go , we 're in the middle of business . marah : no , i 'm not going . ed : i do n't tell you no ' very often , but i 'm busy today . michelle : i checked your schedule , dad , your shift is over . ed : why are you checking up on me ? buzz : i 'm not sure i like this whole business of you looking deep into my soul for an answer or an admission . marina : i never said that you have to admit anything . you just do n't have to hide anything any more . i know . marah : i know . michelle : i know , dad . i know everything . ed : about what ? michelle : do we really have to do this ? ed : know everything about what ? michelle : october 1977 , the fair , the woman , the accident . billy : where you gettin ' all this stuff ? we do n't know anything about any carnivals . yeah , your dad and i met a lot of women over the years . marah : the drinking , uncle billy ?

[ laughing ] okay . the truth comes out . ridge : do n't -- you 're making it ugly . it 's not that . you inspire me . brooke : you do n't need to see me running around half - naked to be inspired . ridge : i do . i don't . it does n't matter . half - naked or fully dressed , i just -- i want you around . i want ... your determination and your passion and your drive , i want it around , and not just -- not just in the office . brooke : [ sighs ] ridge , i just -- i need some time . ridge : i know that . i just sometimes feel like you wasted enough time already . i was foolish and reckless , and i 've learned my lesson . i want you to come home . i always figured it was gon na be you and me in the end . liam : [ scoffs ] look . dad 's hurt . i get that . he might lash out . i get that , too . i can handle whatever he throws at me . wyatt : i mean , why -- i 'm ... i 'm worried about you . liam : oh , come on , wyatt . wyatt : look , you 're in this fantasy land and you do n't even make any sense . dad is never going to be happy about this . he 's never gon na be proud of you for blackmailing him into control and then just giving away all his money ! like , you 've got to listen to me here , and you 've got to listen to steffy . we care about you . what you 're doing right now is wrong . so , please , back down . find a way to make things right with dad because you -- you do not want to make him your enemy . steffy : next time we ride , i 'll give you a 10-minute head start . bill : 10-minute head start -- why ? steffy : so we can meet at the destination at the same time . bill : [ laughs ] steffy : you may be slick , but i do n't think you can keep up . bill : oh , i can keep up . in fact , i can more than keep up . steffy : ooh , dream on . bill : [ chuckles ] steffy : hey , i 'm not giving up . i 'm gon na convince liam . bill : i bet you will . steffy : and if you want me to talk to brooke , just say the word . bill : well , if anybody can sway her , i know it would be ms . confidence . steffy : there 's a woman out there for you . i think it 's brooke , and if not , someone worthy will cross your path . liam : look , i appreciate your concern , but you got to calm down . dad can consider me an enemy all he wants , but it does n't really matter , wyatt , because there is nothing left that man can do to me . bill : thank you , steffy . today has been just what i needed .Summarize.[/INST]steffy repeats it ; bill has a friend as long as she is around . he appreciates that . liam tells wyatt that his dad lies , cheats and steals and he is tired of that man who is his father . and he thinks wyatt gives him a pass because he is their father . but wyatt makes up for liam 's weaknesses so he can use his help with the business the way it should be run . nothing could stop them . wyatt says spencer publications is a major corporation and they have no experience in running it and there will be huge complications if they fail . liam says they will not fail . wyatt says he can not be on his side . he will always be on his dad 's side and payback will be a bitch . bill and steffy enjoy a cold beer after an afternoon ride . she says she knows he and liam will work this out . she confides in bill that she and liam have tried but she is not pregnant yet . and she knows brooke will come back to him and if she does n't then she will regret it . and another woman will come into his life to make him forget brooke ever existed .</s> | 5,512 |

[ scene_break ] judge lawler : ms. brady , this has been a complicated case with missteps on both sides . you caught quite a break today when the surveillance disc of the incident disappeared . now , that leaves the prosecution without its most crucial piece of evidence against you . ms. brady , the maximum sentence for the crime you 've committed is 25 years in prison and a $ 300,000 fine . however , in imposing sentence , i am taking into account the fact that you have no prior criminal record , also that the victim in this tragedy was your brother . furthermore , without the missing video disc , it 's impossible for me to gauge more precisely your level of concentration at the moment the crime occurred . therefore , i 'm sentencing you to 200 hours of community service , and i 'm revoking your driver 's license . shawn d. : community service ? judge lawler : you should consider yourself a very lucky young woman because if that disc had n't mysteriously disappeared , your fate could have been far worse . shawn d. : you got to be kidding me -- for killing my brother ? jennifer : hope , i 'm so sorry . come here . i am so sorry . judge lawler : now , about the missing evidence . as i said before , i 'm ordering a thorough investigation into its disappearance . when i find out who 's responsible , i 'm not going to be as lenient with that person or persons as i just was with ms. brady . court adjourned . bailiff : all rise .

[ scene_break ] layla : that 's pretty harsh -- calling gigi an out - and - out liar ? dorian : and there is a difference between covering something up and an out- and - out lie . adriana : huh -- if anyone would know . look , i 'm not going to let gigi spring any surprises on rex and me before the wedding . dorian : darling , what makes you so sure she will ? adriana : i 've walked in on her and rex two different times and both times , she looked like she was working up to tell rex something heavy . dorian : but that does n't mean that she was going to tell him that her son is rex 's . adriana : what else could it be ? i 'm not going to take any chances on her sabotaging my wedding . dorian : honey , even if it turns out that gigi 's son is rex 's child , are you so insecure that you 're afraid you 're going to lose him because of it ? adriana : it 's not about me . it 's about gigi taking advantage of rex . layla : okay , so if you 're right and that 's what gigi was going to tell rex , why has n't she gone ahead and done it ? [ scene_break ] gigi : ca n't rex just come pick this stuff up ? jared : well , we need you to work with rex , you know , in case he has any questions . if he comes around here too often , the wrong people might be tipped off . gigi : what about phyllis ? she has way more experience with the company than i do . jared : you really do n't want to do this , do you ? gigi : i just -- i need to get home to my son . shane : mom , guess what . mrs. davidson and charlie are taking me to the phillies ' game tonight ! viki : uh -- no , no , we came to ask your permission to see if he could go . charlie : shane -- when we picked shane up at school , he showed us the a that he got on his comic book . gigi : you did , you got an a ? charlie : yeah , and i figure something like that deserves a little reward . shane : so can i go ? gigi : huh . how can i say no ? here , let me see what the teacher said . `` excellent artwork , exciting story , original characters . `` great job . all right ! viki : shane said that the main character is based on his father . jared : that 's really cool , shane -- to think your father 's a hero . shane : he was a hero . that 's how he died , and he always will be a hero to me . [ scene_break ] rex : i 'm sure the old adriana will be back after the wedding . natalie : okay , and is this new adriana that bad ? rex ? rex : it 's nothing . natalie : okay , what did she do ? rex : oh . i wanted her to ask marcie to be a bridesmaid and she refused . natalie : okay , you 're kidding -- wow . rex : she said that she did n't want to put any pressure on marcie because she did n't want her being up there in front of all those people , you know , after everything that happened with tommy . natalie : right . no -- okay , that makes sense . rex : except when i brought it up to marcie , she seemed pretty stoked about it . natalie : that 's not good . i mean , did you tell adriana that ? rex : yeah ! she just shot it down . i 'm sure she knows how marcie would feel better than i do -- or thinks she does . i mean , dorian -- natalie : whoa , whoa . adriana could be turning into her mother now ? [ scene_break ] cole : langston , what is going on ? langston : oh . i dressed up as starr so that shaun would follow me and not her . cole : why ? langston : because she 's sick of him . cole : yeah -- how long do you think it 's going to be before shaun figures out what 's going on here ? starr 's dad is going to go psycho again -- or has that already happened ? langston : no ! just drop it , okay ? cole : langston , i could tell starr was upset when she took off today . something bad has happened . langston : no , really , nothing bad has happened . cole : oh , my god . it all makes sense . i know what 's going on with starr . [ scene_break ] receptionist : sign in , then fill out these forms . starr : okay . oh . oh , my gosh -- i 'm sorry . woman : it 's okay . did those demonstrators outside scare you ? starr : yeah . woman : if you 're sure about your decision , that 's all that matters .

[ scene_break ] natalie : you really think that adriana could be turning into dorian ? rex ? rex : i 'm probably just overreacting . i 've got a lot of stuff going on , too . natalie : like what ? rex : gigi . natalie : something happened with gigi ? rex : no -- gigi happened . adriana 's not exactly cool about it . natalie : okay . well , rex , how do you expect her to feel ? you know , your hot high school honey shows up in town out of the blue -- single , available , right before the wedding . rex : gigi and i are friends , that 's all . natalie : okay . did you make that crystal clear with adriana ? rex ? rex : you think she 'll be upset that i invited her to the wedding ? natalie : you did not . rex : and her son ? natalie : rex , why would you do that ? rex : i would like at least a few people on my side on the church . natalie : okay , that 's reserved for friends , family -- not ex - lovers . rex : are you staying away from any of yours ? natalie : that 's different . anyway , you 're right -- i mean , adriana 's probably under a lot of stress . she could n't be turning into dorian . or could she ? i got to go . ahem . rex : okay . bye . natalie : bye . rex : see ya . rex : oh , boy . [ scene_break ] adriana : look , i 'm not saying that rex definitely is shane 's father . dorian : then what is it that gigi is lying about ? adriana : well , that 's what we have to find out . layla : i 'm still not getting this . dorian : of course -- she could always say that shane is rex 's son even if he is n't . adriana : exactly . layla : but she has n't . she keeps saying rex is not shane 's father . adriana : and when she says it , she sounds like she 's hiding something . dorian : you know , maybe her real problem is that she 's fabricated this story about another man , she 's made him a war hero , and she has her son not only believing it but cherishing it . adriana : and now , she knows that rex is going to be off the market soon , that he loves me and he 's marrying me . dorian : hmm -- but if she tries something , she risks alienating not only rex with the truth but her son , as well . adriana : and she ends up losing both . layla : wow . i 'm not going to even try to figure that out , just as long as you two understand each other . dorian : perfectly -- the acorn does not fall -- adriana : look , we just need to get to the bottom of this . layla : and how are we going to do that ? show up at this brody lovett 's house and ask them if their dead son is gigi morasco 's son 's father ? adriana : no . we tell them the truth -- we 're gigi 's friends . [ scene_break ] langston : how could you possibly know ? cole : langston , it does n't take a genius . you know , she 's been upset for a while , you 've been saying that she has n't been feeling that great . i -- i just wish i would 've known . i would 've gone with her . langston : she wanted to do it by herself . cole : why ? if i would 've ran away with her , then at least we could -- we could be together . langston : you think she ran away ? cole : yeah -- yeah , did n't she ? well , if she did n't run away , then -- then what is it ? langston , please tell me what 's going on . please let me help starr . markko : langston , just tell us . you know you want to . langston : oh , she 's going to kill me .

[ scene_break ] charlie : jared , do you really think that you and natalie have a future once this whole mess comes out in the open ? jared : well , are n't you hoping to have one with viki ? charlie : yes , but i admit that once she finds out that i 've been lying to her and that i helped you scam the buchanans , it might be over . jared : look , i was n't trying to scam the buchanans , not -- not really . i wanted to be one of them . charlie : well , i do n't think they 're going to see it that way . jared : well , i do n't care as long as natalie does . charlie : even if it means you go -- go back to prison ? jared : wo n't be forever , and then natalie and i can start fresh . charlie : and do you think that 's really what she wants ? jared : well , it 's worth trying . viki : well , we 'd probably better go because we still have to meet with roxy and we want to get to the stadium in time for the first pitch . gigi : have a good time tonight and limit -- one hotdog only . viki : oh . gigi : ah , yes -- one , and no beer . [ viki laughs ] gigi : and not too many peanuts . viki : okay . gigi : okay . thank you . viki : see you later , bye . charlie : come on . gigi : bye . so i guess i 'm going to go get this stuff over to rex 's now . jared : cool , thank you . gigi : hey , natalie . natalie : hey . natalie : you 're still here ? jared : you did n't think you were going to get rid of me that easily , did you ?

i have so much on my chest . cassie : because you don't . you 're going to hear what i have to say first . dinah : i get the gist of it , okay . you would like to see me hung up from the highest rack ... cassie : i want this over , dinah . all of it . and if you get 50 years to life , this nightmare is going to go on and on . everyone i love is going to spend the rest of their lives haunted by you . and i 'm not going to let you do that to them . jeffrey : what are you saying ? cassie : i 'm saying i want this to end here and now . let her go . i 'm not going to testify . coming up on `` guiding light . `` phillip : what are you doing , ruth ? cassie : but this is about you , dinah . this is about me saving my family from a very long and painful trial . oprah : she was inside dinah : you 're not going to testify ? edmund : nothing 's been decided yet . dinah : what is this some kind of joke ? cassie : no , it 's for real . edmund : why ? after everything you just said . cassie : okay , let 's say they lock her up , go ahead and give her the death penalty . as comforting as that may sound there will be appeal after appeal and i will have to appeal hundred times , and so will tammy . and then you could walk out of vailsburg , back into our lives with more hatred than you have right now . jeffrey : you sure you want to do this ? cassie : the shooting was an accident . dinah had a gun just like i held a gun in my hand tonight . she was n't in her right mind . she was n't coherent . the gun went off . she was n't a threat , not to me , not to anyone . hart was in the wrong place at the wrong time . that 's how it happened . jeffrey : okay , so that 's the statement you want to go into the books as the official version ? cassie : i know what i 'm saying . dinah : and why are you saying this ? cassie : for my children . i 'm going to believe you when you say that you 've changed , that you 're not a threat anymore . i 'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt , because i need to . do i think that you 've completely reformed ? no , i don't . i do n't think you 'll ever will , but you did save me and rj . but this is n't about , you , dinah . this is about me saving my family from a very long and painful trial . dinah : i do n't know what to say . cassie : say nothing . blake : look , i do n't know anything about other people being here . michelle : well , what were you looking for ?

tony : you know , blake , looking around and breaking in are two different things . blake : i did n't break in . i have a key , all right . ed gave it to me years ago . michelle : oh , time to change the locks , tony . blake : well , absolutely if you plan on living here . michelle : yeah , i do . this is my home . i 'm not leaving . blake : okay . well , i 'm glad that you have tony and danny looking out after you . i am . no hard feelings , all right ?

michelle : oh , you know , nothing much . a couple old maps , some ships models . you know , who knows what we 'll unearth when we open up these walls . blake : well , keep me posted . tony : good - bye , blake . why did n't you tell her about the coin ? michelle : i do n't know . tony : it 's not that big of a deal , right ? i mean , why did n't you tell her ? michelle : well , it 's a big deal to me . it 's like my lucky charm for this place , and for us . why , you trust her ? tony : she 's your friend . not mine . michelle : i ... tony : do you ? michelle : i do n't even know her , so why should i trust her ? i 'm sure she 's just planning some big real estate scam , you know ? she said that property values are going to go up when we open this place . that 's all it is . tony : maybe . blake : i 'm not giving up , dad . i made you a promise that i would try to take care of this before you got here , and i 'm going to do that . no matter what it takes . jb : you know what your problem is ? you think too much . right now if you could do anything you wanted , what would it be ? do n't think . tammy : i would be a thousand miles away . jb : and ? tammy : and there would be no joey lupo and no lizzie spaulding . jb : yes . you see ? you see how easy it is ? and the best part is you can make that happen . well , only the first part , but ... how about it ? tammy : take off you mean ? jb : yeah , let 's go . why not ? ah , there you go thinking again . tammy : yeah , well , some habits are hard to break . jb : just do it . tammy : are you leaving ? jb : i 'm getting another beer . you want one ? tammy : no . i 'm good . jb : i thought good was what you did n't want to be . tammy : oh . i should n't have had that last beer . jb : tammy ? that 's okay , baby . i would n't want the only virgin in springfield to miss out on her beauty sleep . harley : all right , what numbers will phillip use ? with his ego , his birthday . lizzie 's birthday ? phillip : you drugged him ? lizzie : well , tammy was coming in between us and i was desperate . i did n't want to lose him . joey : and you think that makes everything okay ? phillip : just tell me what happened . joey : i do n't remember what happened thanks to your daughter 's potion . so why do you ask her how she got me into your company 's hotel suite , got me into bed with her ... phillip : joey , these are very serious accusations that you 're making . joey : it 's the truth . your daughter committed a crime . lizzie : that is so not how it happened , daddy . not at all . phillip : okay . all right . joey , i think i understand what you 're upset about . it really is n't so much what may or may not have happened ... joey : oh , no , no , it happened . phillip : well , okay , fine . let 's say that it did . but that 's not what 's really what 's bothering is it ? it 's the fact that you 've lost tammy because of this . and now you want to make sure that lizzie pays , so you 're going to tell the whole the world what she did starting with me , right ? joey : i just do n't want her to get away with it . phillip : i understand that . hey , i do n't blame you . i 'd feel the same way in your shoes . lizzie : daddy ? ! phillip : lizzie , be quiet . this is how we 're going to work this out . for starters , you 're not going to say another word about this to anybody . joey : what ? phillip : yeah . well , think about it . you do n't need this kind of headache right now . you 're a man that just won a scholarship , and i think it 's time to use it at a school back east maybe . joey : but i 'm o springfield u . phillip : what about boston ? i 've got friends in admission at all the top schools . i 'll make the calls . joey : i do n't want to go boston . phillip : oh , no , you 're going to love it . it 's a great town . and i think you 'll probably agree it 's best for you to be as far away from lizzie as possible . joey : great . then pack her off to boston . phillip : no , lizzie will stay here with her family where she belongs . joey : well , what about my family ? i ca n't just up and leave my mom alone ? lizzie : daddy , you ca n't do this . phillip : joey , you 're going to do this for your mother . are you aware that her mortgage is with the bank that 's owned by spaulding ? yes , and unfortunately she 's been late on her payments , so the bank does have the right to foreclose . joey : you 're going to foreclose on my mom 's house if i do n't leave town ? lizzie : this is n't at all how it 's suppose to happen , joey . phillip : joey , i do n't want to do this , i really don't . but you 're not leaving me much choice . so either you agree to leave town and never say another word against my daughter or i will make your mother 's life a living hell . phillip : all right then . pack your bags , joey . i 'll have my assistant book you a flight to boston . lizzie : daddy , stop it ! phillip : lizzie , i 'm doing what 's best for you . trust me . joey : you ca n't do this . phillip : joey , my advice to you is that you play the hand that you 're dealt until you get a better one . do it for your mother . o'hagen : mr. spaulding , denmark . phillip : oh , i need to take this . say good - bye to joey , sweetheart . lizzie : no , i 'm not going to , dad . i do n't want him to go . phillip : it 's for the best . joseph , best of luck to you . i expect you 'll be gone when i get back . lizzie : joey , you do n't have to go , okay . just promise my dad you wo n't tell anybody about me drugging you . joey : what , and just forget all that 's happened , lizzie ? lizzie : well , he 's serious . i mean , he really will send you away and take your mom 's house away . listen we could go about this a different way , okay . you could stay and your mom will be able to keep her house . you 're going to have to ... joey : what , lizzie ? take an oath of silence an be your boyfriend ? no thanks . i do n't ever want to see you again . lizzie : joey , wait . that 's not a good decision , okay . you wo n't be allowed back here again . he 'll make sure of it . joey : i do n't want to be anywhere near you . lizzie : joey , wait . where are you going ?

harley / ruth : sir , i was wondering if i could be of some assistance . phillip : with regard to miss spencer ? harley / ruth : yes , sir . i have a friend in immigration . phillip : oh , well , actually , ruth , it 's not that big a deal . it 's just a simple case of mistaken identity . and the documents that she needs to free herself are in my possession and will be forwarded to the danish embassy . harley / ruth : of course , sir . may i have the courier deliver those immediately ? phillip : well , actually as pressing as this matter may seem there are things that i have for you to do that are more important . lizzie : joey . oh , i 'm so glad you 're here . come here . joey : lizzie , i 'm here to see your father . lizzie : no , i know . you ca n't go in there though . he 's busy . joey : i was told to get down here immediately . she said my scholarship depended on it . lizzie : listen , i do n't know about your scholarship , but joey i depend on you . and i know you were upset with me earlier , but i hope you 've calmed down about the whole thing . joey : i 'm very calm . lizzie : okay , so then you understand why i put drugs in your drink ? joey : lizzie , we 're done talking about this , okay ? as soon as i tell tammy what you did , she 'll understand . she 'll take me back and everything will be the way it 's supposed to be . phillip : hey , what 's going on out here ? lizzie : it 's just a personal thing , dad . it 's really nothing . joey : i 'll tell you what 's going on , mr . spaulding . i think you should know because it 's about your daughter . but you 're not going to like it . lizzie : daddy ... phillip : okay , just calm down . i 'll hear from both of you . first of all , what are you doing here after hours , joey ? joey : i was told to come down about my scholarship . phillip : what ? joey : your assistant called me . lizzie : actually , no that was me . i wanted to see you . joey : another lie . i should have figured . phillip : all right , lizzie , what 's going on ?

tammy : i do n't know anything about you . what 's your story ? jb : i 'm a work in progress . tammy : that 's vague . jb : look , i 'm here with you now . that 's what matters , right ? tammy : i guess so . jb : the past sucks . the future ... i do n't know . you do what you want to do . tammy : what i want . jb : must be pretty rough , huh ? you got the family here . they must have high expectations for someone like you . tammy : yeah , well , it 's not easy being perfect . jb : then do n't be . you care too much about what people think , you 're going to start letting things happen to you rather than make them happen . tammy : i already have . jb : well , then fix it . tammy : how ? jb : just live in the moment . just be here now and just let what might happen happen . dinah : is this where the defendant gets to ask if she has anything to say before the sentence is passed ? jeffrey : not even close . dinah : come on . why do n't i get heart wrenching cathartic moment ? i have so much on my chest . cassie : because you don't . you 're going to hear what i have to say first . dinah : i get the gist of it , okay . you would like to see me hung up from the highest rack ... cassie : i want this over , dinah . all of it . and if you get 50 years to life , this nightmare is going to go on and on . everyone i love is going to spend the rest of their lives haunted by you . and i 'm not going to let you do that to them . jeffrey : what are you saying ? cassie : i 'm saying i want this to end here and now . let her go . i 'm not going to testify . coming up on `` guiding light . `` phillip : what are you doing , ruth ? cassie : but this is about you , dinah . this is about me saving my family from a very long and painful trial . oprah : she was inside dinah : you 're not going to testify ? edmund : nothing 's been decided yet . dinah : what is this some kind of joke ? cassie : no , it 's for real . edmund : why ? after everything you just said . cassie : okay , let 's say they lock her up , go ahead and give her the death penalty . as comforting as that may sound there will be appeal after appeal and i will have to appeal hundred times , and so will tammy . and then you could walk out of vailsburg , back into our lives with more hatred than you have right now . jeffrey : you sure you want to do this ? cassie : the shooting was an accident . dinah had a gun just like i held a gun in my hand tonight . she was n't in her right mind . she was n't coherent . the gun went off . she was n't a threat , not to me , not to anyone . hart was in the wrong place at the wrong time . that 's how it happened . jeffrey : okay , so that 's the statement you want to go into the books as the official version ? cassie : i know what i 'm saying . dinah : and why are you saying this ? cassie : for my children . i 'm going to believe you when you say that you 've changed , that you 're not a threat anymore . i 'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt , because i need to . do i think that you 've completely reformed ? no , i don't . i do n't think you 'll ever will , but you did save me and rj . but this is n't about , you , dinah . this is about me saving my family from a very long and painful trial . dinah : i do n't know what to say . cassie : say nothing . blake : look , i do n't know anything about other people being here . michelle : well , what were you looking for ? blake : nothing . nothing . okay , the reason i am here is because ed asked me to look out after you , michelle . he did . and you know , when i got here i did just decide to take a look around . i ca n't help it . it 's the pi in me . michelle : how many careers do you have ? tony : you know , blake , looking around and breaking in are two different things . blake : i did n't break in . i have a key , all right . ed gave it to me years ago . michelle : oh , time to change the locks , tony . blake : well , absolutely if you plan on living here . michelle : yeah , i do . this is my home . i 'm not leaving . blake : okay . well , i 'm glad that you have tony and danny looking out after you . i am . no hard feelings , all right ? michelle : just call next time . blake : okay , i will . and good luck with this . right ? i mean , it 's got to be really exciting opening this old place up and everything . i bet you you find artifacts all over the place . michelle : yeah , nothing too exotic . blake : oh , but you ... you found stuff ? michelle : oh , you know , nothing much . a couple old maps , some ships models . you know , who knows what we 'll unearth when we open up these walls . blake : well , keep me posted . tony : good - bye , blake . why did n't you tell her about the coin ? michelle : i do n't know . tony : it 's not that big of a deal , right ? i mean , why did n't you tell her ? michelle : well , it 's a big deal to me . it 's like my lucky charm for this place , and for us . why , you trust her ? tony : she 's your friend . not mine . michelle : i ... tony : do you ? michelle : i do n't even know her , so why should i trust her ? i 'm sure she 's just planning some big real estate scam , you know ? she said that property values are going to go up when we open this place . that 's all it is . tony : maybe . blake : i 'm not giving up , dad . i made you a promise that i would try to take care of this before you got here , and i 'm going to do that . no matter what it takes . jb : you know what your problem is ? you think too much . right now if you could do anything you wanted , what would it be ? do n't think . tammy : i would be a thousand miles away . jb : and ? tammy : and there would be no joey lupo and no lizzie spaulding . jb : yes . you see ? you see how easy it is ? and the best part is you can make that happen . well , only the first part , but ... how about it ? tammy : take off you mean ? jb : yeah , let 's go . why not ? ah , there you go thinking again . tammy : yeah , well , some habits are hard to break . jb : just do it . tammy : are you leaving ? jb : i 'm getting another beer . you want one ? tammy : no . i 'm good . jb : i thought good was what you did n't want to be . tammy : oh . i should n't have had that last beer . jb : tammy ? that 's okay , baby . i would n't want the only virgin in springfield to miss out on her beauty sleep . harley : all right , what numbers will phillip use ? with his ego , his birthday . lizzie 's birthday ? phillip : you drugged him ? lizzie : well , tammy was coming in between us and i was desperate . i did n't want to lose him . joey : and you think that makes everything okay ? phillip : just tell me what happened . joey : i do n't remember what happened thanks to your daughter 's potion . so why do you ask her how she got me into your company 's hotel suite , got me into bed with her ... phillip : joey , these are very serious accusations that you 're making . joey : it 's the truth . your daughter committed a crime . lizzie : that is so not how it happened , daddy . not at all . phillip : okay . all right . joey , i think i understand what you 're upset about . it really is n't so much what may or may not have happened ... joey : oh , no , no , it happened . phillip : well , okay , fine . let 's say that it did . but that 's not what 's really what 's bothering is it ? it 's the fact that you 've lost tammy because of this . and now you want to make sure that lizzie pays , so you 're going to tell the whole the world what she did starting with me , right ? joey : i just do n't want her to get away with it . phillip : i understand that . hey , i do n't blame you . i 'd feel the same way in your shoes . lizzie : daddy ? ! phillip : lizzie , be quiet . this is how we 're going to work this out . for starters , you 're not going to say another word about this to anybody . joey : what ? phillip : yeah . well , think about it . you do n't need this kind of headache right now . you 're a man that just won a scholarship , and i think it 's time to use it at a school back east maybe . joey : but i 'm o springfield u . phillip : what about boston ? i 've got friends in admission at all the top schools . i 'll make the calls . joey : i do n't want to go boston . phillip : oh , no , you 're going to love it . it 's a great town . and i think you 'll probably agree it 's best for you to be as far away from lizzie as possible . joey : great . then pack her off to boston . phillip : no , lizzie will stay here with her family where she belongs . joey : well , what about my family ? i ca n't just up and leave my mom alone ? lizzie : daddy , you ca n't do this . phillip : joey , you 're going to do this for your mother . are you aware that her mortgage is with the bank that 's owned by spaulding ? yes , and unfortunately she 's been late on her payments , so the bank does have the right to foreclose . joey : you 're going to foreclose on my mom 's house if i do n't leave town ? lizzie : this is n't at all how it 's suppose to happen , joey . phillip : joey , i do n't want to do this , i really don't . but you 're not leaving me much choice . so either you agree to leave town and never say another word against my daughter or i will make your mother 's life a living hell . phillip : all right then . pack your bags , joey . i 'll have my assistant book you a flight to boston . lizzie : daddy , stop it ! phillip : lizzie , i 'm doing what 's best for you . trust me . joey : you ca n't do this . phillip : joey , my advice to you is that you play the hand that you 're dealt until you get a better one . do it for your mother . o'hagen : mr. spaulding , denmark . phillip : oh , i need to take this . say good - bye to joey , sweetheart . lizzie : no , i 'm not going to , dad . i do n't want him to go . phillip : it 's for the best . joseph , best of luck to you . i expect you 'll be gone when i get back . lizzie : joey , you do n't have to go , okay . just promise my dad you wo n't tell anybody about me drugging you . joey : what , and just forget all that 's happened , lizzie ? lizzie : well , he 's serious . i mean , he really will send you away and take your mom 's house away . listen we could go about this a different way , okay . you could stay and your mom will be able to keep her house . you 're going to have to ... joey : what , lizzie ? take an oath of silence an be your boyfriend ? no thanks . i do n't ever want to see you again . lizzie : joey , wait . that 's not a good decision , okay . you wo n't be allowed back here again . he 'll make sure of it . joey : i do n't want to be anywhere near you . lizzie : joey , wait . where are you going ?

michelle : tony , there is no dream without you . tony : michelle , stop touching me , please . dinah : daddy , i can not believe that cassie is in with jeffrey signing the legal papers . i ca n't believe that i 'm going to get out of here . i 'll tell you everything when you get here . edmund : cassie , i ca n't find tammy . she 's not answering at home or on her cell . cassie : i do n't want her to hear about this from someone else . can you find her ?

michelle : yes , tony . yes . we agreed we would stay partners . look , you are the last person in the world that i would want to hurt , okay ? and i know that i have . and it 's just because i 'm really overwhelmed with everything in my life and all these feelings that i feel , and i just ... i know that we can make this work , okay ? tony : michelle , we agreed that we would change the game plan . we would stick to work . stick to this . we 'd get it up and we 'd get it running and that 's it . okay , can you handle that ? michelle : it 's not going to change the way i feel about you . you 're the only friend that i have . tony : that 's not what i asked you . michelle , can you handle it ?

[ cellphone chimes ] [ groans ] brooke : it 's nothing . ridge : no , timing suggests that that is bill spencer . brooke : no , actually , i have n't heard from bill . he has n't been reaching out to me . ridge : really ? that 's weird . i wonder what he 's up to . wyatt : you 're still upset about losing brooke . that 's what you got you so distracted . look , i get it . i 'm not judging , all right ? i understand . it 's hard to forget about the woman you love . liam : thank you . whew ! so , uh , the nurse says to book your next appointment in a week or two . do you have your prescription ? yes , you do . steffy : yeah . never in a million years i thought i 'd be getting a prescription for prenatal vitamins . liam : [ laughs ] it 's official . we made a baby . maya : i am stunned . i can not believe that ridge would betray brooke with quinn . rick : yeah , he 's even worse than i thought . he makes bill spencer look like he 's a saint . thorne : look , i 'm just as outraged as you are . i 'm sure you do n't want your mom disrespected for the rest of her life . rick : why would she even give him a second chance ? maya : well , honey , they have so much history together , and they have r.j. , their family -- and i 'm sure that somewhere inside of her brooke wants to have faith in him . thorne : ridge is a cheater . it 's simple as that . imagine the mindset of a man who could do that to his own father , to the woman he claims he loves right before their wedding ? rick : i 'm glad mom called it off . i 'm glad she ended it . but that should have been the last straw . ridge should n't be allowed to have another chance . thorne : you know , brooke 's one of the most incredible people i 've ever met . she goes in with all her heart . i was lucky enough to be on the receiving end of that a long time ago when we were married . i know what it feels like to be loved by brooke , and you do n't take that for granted . maya : well , it 's , uh , very clear , thorne , that you still have some deep feelings for her . thorne : i wo n't deny it . i finally told her how i feel . i just hope it 's not too late . brooke : are you okay ? ridge : oh , i 'm -- i 'm better than okay . brooke : you seem a little preoccupied . ridge : not that i want to talk about the guy , but it seems weird to me that spencer is not pursuing you in any way . brooke : you should be happy about that . ridge : i am happy about it . it does n't make sense . i think he 's plotting something . brooke : i do n't think so , ridge . ridge : there 's only one way to find out . brooke : just leave him alone . i do n't want to make things more complicated . ridge : i 'm -- it 's ... i wo n't do that . you know , part of me almost -- almost feels sorry for him because i know what it feels like to almost lose the woman that 's supposed to be with you . wyatt : do n't deny it , you 're still obsessing over brooke . and , eventually , that will stop . i will get tough with you if i have to , okay ? bill : i 'd like to see that . wyatt : i mean , i was just -- bill : did you say something ? wyatt : hmm ? no . i mean , i was saying i know you care a lot about her , and i know you wish that you could be with her , but right now , it 's not in the cards , dad , and you know that . the sooner you accept that , the easier it 'll be to let her go . liam : whew ! so , are you -- are you good ? you want anything ? you want some juice , or ... ? steffy : no , i 'm fine . and so is our baby . liam : i just -- my mind is still so blown . steffy : i know . i know . mine , too . liam : i mean , you do n't think it 's too early to start planning the nursery , do you ? 'cause i 'll tell you , i 've been thinking about this , and i think we should do that corner guest room upstairs , the one with the giant window where the baby can look out and see the mountains . i mean , i would actually give up my office if it came down to it . i just -- i ... i am ... getting ahead of myself . steffy : no , i -- i think it 's really sweet . liam : this place does n't even feel the same . i mean , it 's different . it 's -- we 're gon na be raising a family here and building sand castles down on the beach and playing on the swing set that inevitably i 'm gon na have to assemble , but that 's fine . steffy : why do i feel like this child is gon na be super spoiled ? liam : oh , you have no idea . you may or may not have noticed , but i am quite excited about this . i just -- i 'm trying not to talk about it too much because of how difficult the last experience was , but ... steffy , raising a family with you , that is ... that 's the one thing i 've wanted more than anything in my entire life . maya : brooke is always there for everyone else . it would be nice to see her put herself first for once . rick : mom and bill just broke up . they 're not even divorced yet , and yet she 's rushing into things with ridge ? thorne : well , you know ridge . when he wants something , he 'll stop at nothing to get it . rick : i just hope he 's not pressuring her too much . thorne : i 'm sure he is . maya : yeah , and i get it . ridge is charming , and with all of the history that they have , i 'm sure it 's probably very hard for brooke not to get swept up . thorne : i just wish that brooke could see in herself what i see in her -- an extraordinary , beautiful woman . ridge does n't appreciate her . and if they get married , they may have a good year or two . and then he 's just gon na break her heart again . that 's why i got to protect her . rick : you 're a good man , thorne . you obviously care a lot about my mom . i 'm pulling for you . maya : we both are . rick : i just hope it 's not too late . wyatt : i know a thing or two about losing women . bill : yeah , you do . wyatt : obviously . bill : maybe i 'm not thinking about what you think i 'm thinking about . wyatt : oh , really ? it 's not brooke ? hmm , are you dreaming about your skyscraper again ? oh , i know . you 're thinking about what to get me for christmas . that 's sweet . bill : no , i 've already got that covered . wyatt : oh . bill : it 's a gold - plated muzzle . wyatt : okay ! i was just saying , like , i get it , i 've been there . not with brooke , obviously , but when steffy left to go back to liam , that was hard , it was ... it sucked . it hurt to lose such an incredible woman . bill : that she is . one in a million . and liam is damn lucky to have her . liam : in case the baby 's thirsty . steffy : thank you . liam : so , i just realized , i 'm the one doing all the talking , and you 've been really quiet . i figured you 're worried , are n't you ? listen , i 'm sorry , it 's stupid of me . i should be more sensitive . steffy : no . no . it 's not you . liam : well , we suffered a pretty terrible loss a few years ago , and it 's completely understandable that you would be afraid we wo n't have the child we want so much . steffy : no . no , this child is gon na make it . this is our baby . we 've wanted this all our lives . thorne : i just realized i should have picked up dinner . brooke : oh , no , that 's fine . there 's plenty in the kitchen . you just need to warm it up . thorne : oh . okay . thanks . i will . brooke : thorne , there 's something that i need to tell you . thorne : is ridge here ? brooke : your brother just left , but he brought over a ring , and he asked me to marry him . thorne : well , you 're not wearing it . that 's great . i 'm just glad you said no . brooke : well , uh , i 'm not wearing the ring ... but i said yes . ridge and i are getting married . thorne : you said yes ? brooke : i accepted ridge 's proposal . thorne : oh , brooke ... brooke : i do n't feel right putting the ring on until after my divorce is final with bill . but i want to make something perfectly clear . i have every intention of marrying ridge . thorne : oh , come on , brooke . you do n't want to do this . it 's a big mistake . brooke : i know your concern , thorne . i get it . i know you 're just looking out for me , and i know you how much care . it 's just that i believe ridge has changed . i believe that he 's learned his lesson . thorne : it was n't that long ago you believed in him , right ? and then he kissed my dad 's wife . brooke : [ sighs ] yeah , well , he regrets that that happened , and we both wish it did n't happen . but now i 'm just trying to get past it and move on with my life . thorne : okay , okay . i 'll accept that that 's what you want for now . but i have to be clear with you . your divorce is n't final for , what , another 3 months or so ? i intend to use that time to persuade you otherwise . brooke : [ sighs ] thorne : seriously , brooke , i hope you do n't settle for ridge because you deserve the best , and i 'm not afraid to tell you that i think that 's me . i want to be with you more than anything . liam : hey . hey . i know you 're worried . i 'm worried , too . but we should n't let that ruin the experience for us , okay ? because this should be an exciting time . steffy : yeah . liam : we should optimistic , right ? steffy : yeah . yeah . yeah , you 're right . you 're always right . this is another chance for us . liam : yeah . steffy : mm - hmm . yeah , this is -- this is our baby . a child we deserve to love and raise . life would n't be so cruel not to allow us that . so i 'm gon na be positive and i am gon na eat healthy and i 'm gon na give this baby everything it needs . liam : that 's right , steffy . steffy : mm - hmm . liam : that 's right . steffy : i 'm just so happy to bring your child into this world . the three of us , a family -- that 's what these tears are ... liam : tears of joy , right ?

[ cellphone chimes ] [ groans ] brooke : it 's nothing . ridge : no , timing suggests that that is bill spencer . brooke : no , actually , i have n't heard from bill . he has n't been reaching out to me . ridge : really ? that 's weird . i wonder what he 's up to . wyatt : you 're still upset about losing brooke . that 's what you got you so distracted . look , i get it . i 'm not judging , all right ? i understand . it 's hard to forget about the woman you love . liam : thank you . whew ! so , uh , the nurse says to book your next appointment in a week or two . do you have your prescription ? yes , you do . steffy : yeah . never in a million years i thought i 'd be getting a prescription for prenatal vitamins . liam : [ laughs ] it 's official . we made a baby . maya : i am stunned . i can not believe that ridge would betray brooke with quinn . rick : yeah , he 's even worse than i thought . he makes bill spencer look like he 's a saint . thorne : look , i 'm just as outraged as you are . i 'm sure you do n't want your mom disrespected for the rest of her life . rick : why would she even give him a second chance ? maya : well , honey , they have so much history together , and they have r.j. , their family -- and i 'm sure that somewhere inside of her brooke wants to have faith in him . thorne : ridge is a cheater . it 's simple as that . imagine the mindset of a man who could do that to his own father , to the woman he claims he loves right before their wedding ? rick : i 'm glad mom called it off . i 'm glad she ended it . but that should have been the last straw . ridge should n't be allowed to have another chance . thorne : you know , brooke 's one of the most incredible people i 've ever met . she goes in with all her heart . i was lucky enough to be on the receiving end of that a long time ago when we were married . i know what it feels like to be loved by brooke , and you do n't take that for granted . maya : well , it 's , uh , very clear , thorne , that you still have some deep feelings for her . thorne : i wo n't deny it . i finally told her how i feel . i just hope it 's not too late . brooke : are you okay ? ridge : oh , i 'm -- i 'm better than okay . brooke : you seem a little preoccupied . ridge : not that i want to talk about the guy , but it seems weird to me that spencer is not pursuing you in any way . brooke : you should be happy about that . ridge : i am happy about it . it does n't make sense . i think he 's plotting something . brooke : i do n't think so , ridge . ridge : there 's only one way to find out . brooke : just leave him alone . i do n't want to make things more complicated . ridge : i 'm -- it 's ... i wo n't do that . you know , part of me almost -- almost feels sorry for him because i know what it feels like to almost lose the woman that 's supposed to be with you . wyatt : do n't deny it , you 're still obsessing over brooke . and , eventually , that will stop . i will get tough with you if i have to , okay ? bill : i 'd like to see that . wyatt : i mean , i was just -- bill : did you say something ? wyatt : hmm ? no . i mean , i was saying i know you care a lot about her , and i know you wish that you could be with her , but right now , it 's not in the cards , dad , and you know that . the sooner you accept that , the easier it 'll be to let her go . liam : whew ! so , are you -- are you good ? you want anything ? you want some juice , or ... ? steffy : no , i 'm fine . and so is our baby . liam : i just -- my mind is still so blown . steffy : i know . i know . mine , too . liam : i mean , you do n't think it 's too early to start planning the nursery , do you ? 'cause i 'll tell you , i 've been thinking about this , and i think we should do that corner guest room upstairs , the one with the giant window where the baby can look out and see the mountains . i mean , i would actually give up my office if it came down to it . i just -- i ... i am ... getting ahead of myself . steffy : no , i -- i think it 's really sweet . liam : this place does n't even feel the same . i mean , it 's different . it 's -- we 're gon na be raising a family here and building sand castles down on the beach and playing on the swing set that inevitably i 'm gon na have to assemble , but that 's fine . steffy : why do i feel like this child is gon na be super spoiled ? liam : oh , you have no idea . you may or may not have noticed , but i am quite excited about this . i just -- i 'm trying not to talk about it too much because of how difficult the last experience was , but ... steffy , raising a family with you , that is ... that 's the one thing i 've wanted more than anything in my entire life . maya : brooke is always there for everyone else . it would be nice to see her put herself first for once . rick : mom and bill just broke up . they 're not even divorced yet , and yet she 's rushing into things with ridge ? thorne : well , you know ridge . when he wants something , he 'll stop at nothing to get it . rick : i just hope he 's not pressuring her too much . thorne : i 'm sure he is . maya : yeah , and i get it . ridge is charming , and with all of the history that they have , i 'm sure it 's probably very hard for brooke not to get swept up . thorne : i just wish that brooke could see in herself what i see in her -- an extraordinary , beautiful woman . ridge does n't appreciate her . and if they get married , they may have a good year or two . and then he 's just gon na break her heart again . that 's why i got to protect her . rick : you 're a good man , thorne . you obviously care a lot about my mom . i 'm pulling for you . maya : we both are . rick : i just hope it 's not too late . wyatt : i know a thing or two about losing women . bill : yeah , you do . wyatt : obviously . bill : maybe i 'm not thinking about what you think i 'm thinking about . wyatt : oh , really ? it 's not brooke ? hmm , are you dreaming about your skyscraper again ? oh , i know . you 're thinking about what to get me for christmas . that 's sweet . bill : no , i 've already got that covered . wyatt : oh . bill : it 's a gold - plated muzzle . wyatt : okay ! i was just saying , like , i get it , i 've been there . not with brooke , obviously , but when steffy left to go back to liam , that was hard , it was ... it sucked . it hurt to lose such an incredible woman . bill : that she is . one in a million . and liam is damn lucky to have her . liam : in case the baby 's thirsty . steffy : thank you . liam : so , i just realized , i 'm the one doing all the talking , and you 've been really quiet . i figured you 're worried , are n't you ? listen , i 'm sorry , it 's stupid of me . i should be more sensitive . steffy : no . no . it 's not you . liam : well , we suffered a pretty terrible loss a few years ago , and it 's completely understandable that you would be afraid we wo n't have the child we want so much . steffy : no . no , this child is gon na make it . this is our baby . we 've wanted this all our lives . thorne : i just realized i should have picked up dinner . brooke : oh , no , that 's fine . there 's plenty in the kitchen . you just need to warm it up . thorne : oh . okay . thanks . i will . brooke : thorne , there 's something that i need to tell you . thorne : is ridge here ? brooke : your brother just left , but he brought over a ring , and he asked me to marry him . thorne : well , you 're not wearing it . that 's great . i 'm just glad you said no . brooke : well , uh , i 'm not wearing the ring ... but i said yes . ridge and i are getting married . thorne : you said yes ? brooke : i accepted ridge 's proposal . thorne : oh , brooke ... brooke : i do n't feel right putting the ring on until after my divorce is final with bill . but i want to make something perfectly clear . i have every intention of marrying ridge . thorne : oh , come on , brooke . you do n't want to do this . it 's a big mistake . brooke : i know your concern , thorne . i get it . i know you 're just looking out for me , and i know you how much care . it 's just that i believe ridge has changed . i believe that he 's learned his lesson . thorne : it was n't that long ago you believed in him , right ? and then he kissed my dad 's wife . brooke : [ sighs ] yeah , well , he regrets that that happened , and we both wish it did n't happen . but now i 'm just trying to get past it and move on with my life . thorne : okay , okay . i 'll accept that that 's what you want for now . but i have to be clear with you . your divorce is n't final for , what , another 3 months or so ? i intend to use that time to persuade you otherwise . brooke : [ sighs ] thorne : seriously , brooke , i hope you do n't settle for ridge because you deserve the best , and i 'm not afraid to tell you that i think that 's me . i want to be with you more than anything . liam : hey . hey . i know you 're worried . i 'm worried , too . but we should n't let that ruin the experience for us , okay ? because this should be an exciting time . steffy : yeah . liam : we should optimistic , right ? steffy : yeah . yeah . yeah , you 're right . you 're always right . this is another chance for us . liam : yeah . steffy : mm - hmm . yeah , this is -- this is our baby . a child we deserve to love and raise . life would n't be so cruel not to allow us that . so i 'm gon na be positive and i am gon na eat healthy and i 'm gon na give this baby everything it needs . liam : that 's right , steffy . steffy : mm - hmm . liam : that 's right . steffy : i 'm just so happy to bring your child into this world . the three of us , a family -- that 's what these tears are ... liam : tears of joy , right ?

sam : at the metro court . elizabeth : do you know who he is ? sam : you do , too . elizabeth : who ? sam : it 's your new friend , your houseguest -- jake . jason : did he give you a reason ? carly : he 's trying to be noble . which is crazy , because sonny -- he 's not noble . he 's not . brave , yes . ruthless , absolutely . arrogant , loyal , selfish , infuriating -- all of the above . but this crazy idea that he 's trying to sacrifice himself -- i mean , that 's just crazy because sonny does n't do that . that 's not who sonny is . sacrificing himself for what ? carly : our son . michael -- he 's -- he 's cut us out of his life . jason : you know , i met michael . carly : you did ? jason : it was the night before the wedding that did n't happen , in the hospital . i had over - tired myself and could n't make it back to my room , and your son , he just appeared out of nowhere and offered to push me back . we got to talking , and he told me he also had a traumatic brain injury . was in a coma . you know , he actually gave me some pretty great advice . something about letting people help me even when i do n't want them to . carly : i miss him . i miss him . um ... really hard to explain . he 's my firstborn , and he 's just been my reason for everything , and now he ... he wo n't even look at me . jason : your ex is trying to fix that ? carly : he says the only way michael will forgive me if i turn my back on him . jason : what do you think ? carly : i 'm sorry . did you just ask me my opinion ? did you just ask me what i thought ? jason : mm - hmm . carly : 'cause sonny did n't . he did n't . he just decided that if i come up to pentonville to see him , he will refuse the visit . yeah . i love him , and he 's the father of my two sons , and i may never see him again . and that 's just the way it is . jason : i get it . carly : could you tell me , enlighten me ? 'cause i do n't understand it at all . jason : well , i 've never met your ex - husband , but , uh ... he 's a powerful guy , right ? used to giving orders , being in charge ? carly : yeah . jason : well , cutting you off and sending you back to your son is the only power he 's got left . carly : well , so , what are you saying ? i should give sonny what he thinks he wants , and i should just walk away and let him go ? is that what you 're telling me i should do ? jason : i 'm not telling you to do anything . besides , i do n't think you 'd listen to me , anyway . carly : i do n't listen to anybody . [ both laugh ] carly : neither does sonny . you know , that 's why we were always -- or one of the reason we were so perfect for each other . all right , you know what ? i ca n't think anymore , and i 'm gon na get another drink . jason : okay . carly : but , of course , the bartender is nowhere to be found , which is why , um ... i need to hire another one . jason : actually , that 's why i came here . i 'm looking for a job . carly : as a bartender ? jason : well , if that 's what 's available . carly : oh . well , you have the listening part down . jason : [ chuckles ] carly : let 's see . ah . let 's see if you can make a decent martini . elizabeth : you think jake is the man who held you at gunpoint ? sam : the point is , he was at the metro court , waiting for carly , and he told me , `` it 's not like i have n't got all day . `` elizabeth : okay . wait . so , your evidence is a phrase that people say ? and you think that 's enough to suggest jake put on a mask and grabbed a gun , took you hostage , broke faison out of custody ... ? sam : yes . i do . jason : gin or vodka ? carly : surprise me . jason : surprise you . all right . wet or dry ? carly : dry as the sahara . and make it really dirty . jason : really dirty . jason : you got it . uh , would you like it shaken or stirred ? carly : shaken . and put your back into it . jason : yes , ma'am . carly : [ chuckles ] you want it on the rocks or up or ... ? i got it . i 'm just gon na ... [ chuckles ] there we go . and here we go -- one absolutely desert - dry , filthy martini , a la jake , and just a little bit more for the bar . heh . enjoy . carly : cheers . carlos : that drink could be dirtier . it 's nowhere foul enough for this bruja . julian : i thought you said ric was in protective custody . alexis : he was , up until a few days ago . with faison taken down and his empire crumbled , they deemed it safe for ric to come out of hiding . i was so close to telling molly all about this , and then i got a call from anna . julian : okay . well , what happened ? alexis : nobody knows . the handlers went in to extract ric , and the place looked like a bomb had gone off in it , and there was no sign of ric . julian : and this makes them think he was taken ? alexis : was he ? julian : you 're asking me ? alexis : for all i know , you 're the one behind it . sonny : one flick of the wrist , i 'm kind of pentonville . johnny : eh , your reign will be the shortest on record . sonny : i can do short , i can do swee -- [ clattering ] johnny : slash away , sonny ! unless you got something you want to live for , huh ? you want to save your family the pain of knowing you died a slow , excruciatingly painful death , huh ? michael probably wo n't care , but kristina , carly , morgan ... unless you think they can handle it . go ahead ! all right , all right , all right . sensible decision , sonny . [ breathes deeply ] i 'm about to give you the chance to make another one . sonny : no , thanks . i 'm all set . johnny : you got a lot on your plate right now , sonny . you got the missing child , got to worry about staying alive in here , et cetera , et cetera . i 'm about to ease your burden . your organization needs running , right ? who better to run it than me ? nina : silas , you should n't be here . silas : too late . nina : why did you come ? silas : to talk to you . you gon na let me in ? nina : um ... no , i ca n't do that , because franco 's gon na be back soon , and i do n't -- i do n't think he 'd be happy to see you . silas : forget about franco . he 's not coming back . nina : what do you mean ? silas : look , no one 's gon na stop us from talking this out as husband and wife . it 's just us now , nina -- you and me . all you have to do is open the door . ava : franco , please , i 'll do anything -- anything you want . you can hurt me , you can torture me -- kiki : no , no ! mom , do n't say that , okay ? franco 's not going to do any of that , right ? dante : franco . hey , i will tell you how this ends . you surrender that child , and we take you into custody . franco : no , that 's not how it ends . there are so many other possibilities . i like the ending where ava and morgan are miserable . morgan : give us our little girl now . franco : you want her so bad ... catch . ava : no ! oh , my -- why did you do that , franco ? ! morgan : what the hell is this ? franco : it 's flour . ava : where is my baby ? ! silas : the baby 's with you . nina : yeah . she 's my baby . not biologically . i know that . but she was meant to be my baby after my mom took mine away . silas : you deserve a child . nina : i 'm owed a child . silas : we both are . we were supposed to have a baby , nina -- you and me , not -- not you and franco . why do n't you let me join you ? we 'll raise this little girl together . nina : but i thought -- silas : we can still be the family we were supposed to be , the three of us , together . nina : you just came for the baby . you just want the baby . silas : i came 'cause i want you to be happy . i want all your pain to go away . nina : then why do you keep on hurting me ? silas : i know . i 'm sorry . you know , when i found out that you had lied to me , i just -- i could n't get past it , but i can now . nina : you lied to me , too . silas : i know . i made a lot of mistakes , nina . not anymore . never again . i promise . nina : is this really what you want ? silas : yes . you , me , and our child . so , what do you say ? may i please hold our daughter ? ava : what the hell have you done with my daughter , franco ? where is she ? franco : she 's safe . morgan : tell us where she is ! franco : angry man . i 'm not sure what kind of a parent you 'd be . dante : that 's nothing compared to her uncle . franco : maybe uncle . i mean , this little bundle of flour could be -- kiki : stop it with your mind games , franco . tell us where the baby is . come on ! why are you doing this to my -- you 're gon na do what she did to you ? let her be with her daughter ! franco : she 's upstairs with nina . ava : oh ! dante : robert frank , you are under arrest for stalking , assault , and kidnapping of a child . you have the right to remain silent . anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law . you have the right to an attorney . if you can not afford an attorney , one will be provided for you free of charge . do you understand these rights as i have explained them to you ? kiki : well , franco ? franco : yeah , i get it . kiki : [ scoffs ] sonny : real selfless of you , johnny -- offering to , uh , take over my organization . johnny : yeah , well , i 'm all about self - improvement these days . sonny : does n't seem to be working . johnny : ouch . sonny : the fact that you think that you can run things from inside of pentonville makes me laugh . no , thank you . i can make do . johnny : do n't you mean lavery will make do ? sonny , i did some looking around , and i heard you did some delegating . lavery -- i do n't think that he has the cojones to manage your holdings . sonny : you can take that offer and shove it where the sun do n't shine . johnny : all right . all right . we 'll revisit this on a later date . soon enough , you will be listening to reason , same as the jeromes . julian : i had nothing to do with ric 's disappearance . alexis : is that so ? julian : look , i did n't even know the man was alive until a couple of minutes ago . alexis : i 'm supposed to believe that ? julian : alexis , everything 's out in the open right now . everybody knows everything about everything . i have no reason to lie to you . alexis : what about your pal faison ? does he know something about ric ? julian : it 's possible . alexis : but unlikely ? julian : let 's put it this way . he 's never betrayed any hint that he 's been duped . then again , we were n't exactly confidants . alexis : maybe faison figured it out after his escape . julian : then went after ric ? for what ? alexis : to tie up loose ends . julian : and risk capture ? there is no upside . look , ric was just a patsy with no information and certainly none that could hurt faison . look , i know why you 're asking . you care about ric . you want answers for molly . but this is a reach . alexis : you swear that you had nothing to do with this ? julian : you have my word . alexis : right . for whatever that 's worth . elizabeth : sam , i am sorry , but this is absurd . sam : why ? elizabeth : there is no way jake is the one who took you hostage yesterday . sam : can you account for his whereabouts ? can he ? elizabeth : he was job hunting , just like he is today . sam : can you vouch for that ? elizabeth : i 'm sure someone can . sam : but just not you . elizabeth : okay , you know what ? you need to back off . i am not his babysitter , and not that it matters , but the man simply is not capable of doing what you 're suggesting . sam : excuse me . why are you -- how -- how on earth do you sound so confident about this ? elizabeth : he just got out of the hospital , sam , with broken bones and internal injuries . it 's a miracle he can walk . he 's not gon na go battle the pd . it is n't him . sam : elizabeth , what makes you so sure that jake is a good guy ? i mean , how well do you really know him ? jason : do you need an assist ? carly : no . i 'm good . jason : okay . carly : carlos . carlos : you remember my name . i 'm flattered . i figured out of sight , out of mind . i mean , better to forget i ever existed than to live with the memory of sending an innocent man to prison . carly : i had nothing to do with you going to pentonville . carlos : and you just stood by and watched . carly : you confessed . carlos : ava forced me to . i did n't kill aj . sonny did . and you knew that . carly : i 'm sorry for what you went through . carlos : [ chuckles ] carly : but like you , i did n't have a choice , okay ? carlos : hey , hey . carly : what do you want from me ? carlos : what do i want from you ? carly : yes . carlos : i want you to suffer the way i did . jason : that 's enough . carlos : you stay out of this , cachorro . jason : i said that 's enough . okay ? sam : jake came here with no id , no memory . you do n't know anything about this guy . elizabeth : it does n't make him a criminal . sam : he could be dangerous , and if he is who i think he is , then you 're in a -- elizabeth : why would he stick around ? sam : what ? elizabeth : does n't it make sense that whoever broke faison out of custody would have gotten on that boat , not hung out here in port charles , waiting to get caught ? sam : listen , i - i understand there are a lot of unanswered questions . that 's what i 'm trying to figure out . elizabeth : by chasing half - baked theories . sam : okay , you think that i 'm grasping at straws . i get it . i - i guess we 're gon na have to agree to disagree on this one . elizabeth : it 's making you look foolish , sam . sam : [ chuckles ] elizabeth : and it 's making jake look even worse . if you were smart , you 'd drop it . jason : she said she was sorry . be a gentleman . accept her apology . carlos : who the hell is this guy ? carly : jake , it 's okay . jason : `` i accept your apology , ms. corinthos jacks . `` you can do it . carlos : [ chuckles ] i accept your apology , ms. corinthos jacks . jason : there we go . good man . now you can take your business elsewhere . carlos : i 'll be seeing you . both of you . jason : looking forward to it . carly : that was interesting . jason : yeah , it was . [ clears throat ] sorry if i made a scene in your place . carly : no . my god , you had my back . thank you . jason : you 're welcome .

for the first time in your life , you got no pull . how 's that feel , huh ? sonny : it feels like it 's all about to change once i cut your tongue out and make it into a trophy . julian : ric was shot right here , trying to escape . alexis : that 's what anna devane wanted everyone to believe , particularly you and faison . julian : so this whole thing was a smokescreen ? alexis : anna caught on to your scheme to cover up for your boss by framing ric . julian : so , was this before or after she arrested him ? alexis : after . julian : so this whole time , anna knew that ric was n't running the organization , that he was innocent ? why in the hell did she let him take the fall ? alexis : to buy time . she wanted you and faison to think you were in the clear , hoping that you would make a mistake , which would allow her to flush out who the real boss was . she also wanted to keep ric safe , as well as his family . julian : so , this whole time ... molly 's father 's been alive . you know , i thought i was gon na have to carry that burden for the rest of my life , alexis . alexis : well , i would n't unload that burden just yet . julian : and why is that ? alexis : well , ric is alive , yes , but now he has just up and disappeared . franco : hey ! hey ! you stay right where you are . do n't take another step ! you come closer , i 'll -- i 'll throw this baby right on the ground . ava : you 're a monster ! morgan : franco , if she has so much as a scratch on her head , i will kill you . kiki : do not do this , franco , please ! franco : do what ? ! i 'm not doing anything ! if you would just leave us alone , nina and i , we just want to take this baby and go and get on with our lives ! morgan : delusional , man ! ava : she 's mine . franco : oh , yeah . you 'd be such a great mother from prison . silas : did you happen to see nina ? dante : no , i think she 's upstairs . ava : i have no intention of going to prison . i am gon na be here for my baby . dante : franco , how do you envision this ending , man ? franco : i do n't know . you tell me . how does this end ? ava : franco ... we meant something to each other once , did n't we ? franco : yeah . so much so that you tried to kill me . ava : i 'm sorry . franco : and you lied to me . not like a little bit . you lied to me -- for like 20 years , you lied to me ! ava : sorry . i was wrong . i deserve to be punished but not like this . please let her go . my daughter needs me . she needs her family . franco : she has a family . she has two parents who love her and will take care of her . she does n't belong to you anymore . she belongs to me and nina . silas : nina . i know you 're in there . open up . it 's silas . elizabeth : you think you know who grabbed you ? sam : i 'm following up on a potential suspect . elizabeth : based on what ? was n't he wearing a mask ? sam : at one point , he told the police that he did n't have all day , and just a little while ago , he used the same expression with me . elizabeth : wh -- wait . you 've encountered this man again ? sam : at the metro court . elizabeth : do you know who he is ? sam : you do , too . elizabeth : who ? sam : it 's your new friend , your houseguest -- jake . jason : did he give you a reason ? carly : he 's trying to be noble . which is crazy , because sonny -- he 's not noble . he 's not . brave , yes . ruthless , absolutely . arrogant , loyal , selfish , infuriating -- all of the above . but this crazy idea that he 's trying to sacrifice himself -- i mean , that 's just crazy because sonny does n't do that . that 's not who sonny is . sacrificing himself for what ? carly : our son . michael -- he 's -- he 's cut us out of his life . jason : you know , i met michael . carly : you did ? jason : it was the night before the wedding that did n't happen , in the hospital . i had over - tired myself and could n't make it back to my room , and your son , he just appeared out of nowhere and offered to push me back . we got to talking , and he told me he also had a traumatic brain injury . was in a coma . you know , he actually gave me some pretty great advice . something about letting people help me even when i do n't want them to . carly : i miss him . i miss him . um ... really hard to explain . he 's my firstborn , and he 's just been my reason for everything , and now he ... he wo n't even look at me . jason : your ex is trying to fix that ? carly : he says the only way michael will forgive me if i turn my back on him . jason : what do you think ? carly : i 'm sorry . did you just ask me my opinion ? did you just ask me what i thought ? jason : mm - hmm . carly : 'cause sonny did n't . he did n't . he just decided that if i come up to pentonville to see him , he will refuse the visit . yeah . i love him , and he 's the father of my two sons , and i may never see him again . and that 's just the way it is . jason : i get it . carly : could you tell me , enlighten me ? 'cause i do n't understand it at all . jason : well , i 've never met your ex - husband , but , uh ... he 's a powerful guy , right ? used to giving orders , being in charge ? carly : yeah . jason : well , cutting you off and sending you back to your son is the only power he 's got left . carly : well , so , what are you saying ? i should give sonny what he thinks he wants , and i should just walk away and let him go ? is that what you 're telling me i should do ? jason : i 'm not telling you to do anything . besides , i do n't think you 'd listen to me , anyway . carly : i do n't listen to anybody . [ both laugh ] carly : neither does sonny . you know , that 's why we were always -- or one of the reason we were so perfect for each other . all right , you know what ? i ca n't think anymore , and i 'm gon na get another drink . jason : okay . carly : but , of course , the bartender is nowhere to be found , which is why , um ... i need to hire another one . jason : actually , that 's why i came here . i 'm looking for a job . carly : as a bartender ? jason : well , if that 's what 's available . carly : oh . well , you have the listening part down . jason : [ chuckles ] carly : let 's see . ah . let 's see if you can make a decent martini . elizabeth : you think jake is the man who held you at gunpoint ? sam : the point is , he was at the metro court , waiting for carly , and he told me , `` it 's not like i have n't got all day . `` elizabeth : okay . wait . so , your evidence is a phrase that people say ? and you think that 's enough to suggest jake put on a mask and grabbed a gun , took you hostage , broke faison out of custody ... ? sam : yes . i do . jason : gin or vodka ? carly : surprise me . jason : surprise you . all right . wet or dry ? carly : dry as the sahara . and make it really dirty . jason : really dirty . jason : you got it . uh , would you like it shaken or stirred ? carly : shaken . and put your back into it . jason : yes , ma'am . carly : [ chuckles ] you want it on the rocks or up or ... ? i got it . i 'm just gon na ... [ chuckles ] there we go . and here we go -- one absolutely desert - dry , filthy martini , a la jake , and just a little bit more for the bar . heh . enjoy . carly : cheers . carlos : that drink could be dirtier . it 's nowhere foul enough for this bruja . julian : i thought you said ric was in protective custody . alexis : he was , up until a few days ago . with faison taken down and his empire crumbled , they deemed it safe for ric to come out of hiding . i was so close to telling molly all about this , and then i got a call from anna . julian : okay . well , what happened ? alexis : nobody knows . the handlers went in to extract ric , and the place looked like a bomb had gone off in it , and there was no sign of ric . julian : and this makes them think he was taken ? alexis : was he ? julian : you 're asking me ? alexis : for all i know , you 're the one behind it . sonny : one flick of the wrist , i 'm kind of pentonville . johnny : eh , your reign will be the shortest on record . sonny : i can do short , i can do swee -- [ clattering ] johnny : slash away , sonny ! unless you got something you want to live for , huh ? you want to save your family the pain of knowing you died a slow , excruciatingly painful death , huh ? michael probably wo n't care , but kristina , carly , morgan ... unless you think they can handle it . go ahead ! all right , all right , all right . sensible decision , sonny . [ breathes deeply ] i 'm about to give you the chance to make another one . sonny : no , thanks . i 'm all set . johnny : you got a lot on your plate right now , sonny . you got the missing child , got to worry about staying alive in here , et cetera , et cetera . i 'm about to ease your burden . your organization needs running , right ? who better to run it than me ? nina : silas , you should n't be here . silas : too late . nina : why did you come ? silas : to talk to you . you gon na let me in ? nina : um ... no , i ca n't do that , because franco 's gon na be back soon , and i do n't -- i do n't think he 'd be happy to see you . silas : forget about franco . he 's not coming back . nina : what do you mean ? silas : look , no one 's gon na stop us from talking this out as husband and wife . it 's just us now , nina -- you and me . all you have to do is open the door . ava : franco , please , i 'll do anything -- anything you want . you can hurt me , you can torture me -- kiki : no , no ! mom , do n't say that , okay ? franco 's not going to do any of that , right ? dante : franco . hey , i will tell you how this ends . you surrender that child , and we take you into custody . franco : no , that 's not how it ends . there are so many other possibilities . i like the ending where ava and morgan are miserable . morgan : give us our little girl now . franco : you want her so bad ... catch . ava : no ! oh , my -- why did you do that , franco ? ! morgan : what the hell is this ? franco : it 's flour . ava : where is my baby ? ! silas : the baby 's with you . nina : yeah . she 's my baby . not biologically . i know that . but she was meant to be my baby after my mom took mine away . silas : you deserve a child . nina : i 'm owed a child . silas : we both are . we were supposed to have a baby , nina -- you and me , not -- not you and franco . why do n't you let me join you ? we 'll raise this little girl together . nina : but i thought -- silas : we can still be the family we were supposed to be , the three of us , together . nina : you just came for the baby . you just want the baby . silas : i came 'cause i want you to be happy . i want all your pain to go away . nina : then why do you keep on hurting me ? silas : i know . i 'm sorry . you know , when i found out that you had lied to me , i just -- i could n't get past it , but i can now . nina : you lied to me , too . silas : i know . i made a lot of mistakes , nina . not anymore . never again . i promise . nina : is this really what you want ? silas : yes . you , me , and our child . so , what do you say ? may i please hold our daughter ? ava : what the hell have you done with my daughter , franco ? where is she ? franco : she 's safe . morgan : tell us where she is ! franco : angry man . i 'm not sure what kind of a parent you 'd be . dante : that 's nothing compared to her uncle . franco : maybe uncle . i mean , this little bundle of flour could be -- kiki : stop it with your mind games , franco . tell us where the baby is . come on ! why are you doing this to my -- you 're gon na do what she did to you ? let her be with her daughter ! franco : she 's upstairs with nina . ava : oh ! dante : robert frank , you are under arrest for stalking , assault , and kidnapping of a child . you have the right to remain silent . anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law . you have the right to an attorney . if you can not afford an attorney , one will be provided for you free of charge . do you understand these rights as i have explained them to you ? kiki : well , franco ? franco : yeah , i get it . kiki : [ scoffs ] sonny : real selfless of you , johnny -- offering to , uh , take over my organization . johnny : yeah , well , i 'm all about self - improvement these days . sonny : does n't seem to be working . johnny : ouch . sonny : the fact that you think that you can run things from inside of pentonville makes me laugh . no , thank you . i can make do . johnny : do n't you mean lavery will make do ? sonny , i did some looking around , and i heard you did some delegating . lavery -- i do n't think that he has the cojones to manage your holdings . sonny : you can take that offer and shove it where the sun do n't shine . johnny : all right . all right . we 'll revisit this on a later date . soon enough , you will be listening to reason , same as the jeromes . julian : i had nothing to do with ric 's disappearance . alexis : is that so ? julian : look , i did n't even know the man was alive until a couple of minutes ago . alexis : i 'm supposed to believe that ? julian : alexis , everything 's out in the open right now . everybody knows everything about everything . i have no reason to lie to you . alexis : what about your pal faison ? does he know something about ric ? julian : it 's possible . alexis : but unlikely ? julian : let 's put it this way . he 's never betrayed any hint that he 's been duped . then again , we were n't exactly confidants . alexis : maybe faison figured it out after his escape . julian : then went after ric ? for what ? alexis : to tie up loose ends . julian : and risk capture ? there is no upside . look , ric was just a patsy with no information and certainly none that could hurt faison . look , i know why you 're asking . you care about ric . you want answers for molly . but this is a reach . alexis : you swear that you had nothing to do with this ? julian : you have my word . alexis : right . for whatever that 's worth . elizabeth : sam , i am sorry , but this is absurd . sam : why ? elizabeth : there is no way jake is the one who took you hostage yesterday . sam : can you account for his whereabouts ? can he ? elizabeth : he was job hunting , just like he is today . sam : can you vouch for that ? elizabeth : i 'm sure someone can . sam : but just not you . elizabeth : okay , you know what ? you need to back off . i am not his babysitter , and not that it matters , but the man simply is not capable of doing what you 're suggesting . sam : excuse me . why are you -- how -- how on earth do you sound so confident about this ? elizabeth : he just got out of the hospital , sam , with broken bones and internal injuries . it 's a miracle he can walk . he 's not gon na go battle the pd . it is n't him . sam : elizabeth , what makes you so sure that jake is a good guy ? i mean , how well do you really know him ? jason : do you need an assist ? carly : no . i 'm good . jason : okay . carly : carlos . carlos : you remember my name . i 'm flattered . i figured out of sight , out of mind . i mean , better to forget i ever existed than to live with the memory of sending an innocent man to prison . carly : i had nothing to do with you going to pentonville . carlos : and you just stood by and watched . carly : you confessed . carlos : ava forced me to . i did n't kill aj . sonny did . and you knew that . carly : i 'm sorry for what you went through . carlos : [ chuckles ] carly : but like you , i did n't have a choice , okay ? carlos : hey , hey . carly : what do you want from me ? carlos : what do i want from you ? carly : yes . carlos : i want you to suffer the way i did . jason : that 's enough . carlos : you stay out of this , cachorro . jason : i said that 's enough . okay ? sam : jake came here with no id , no memory . you do n't know anything about this guy . elizabeth : it does n't make him a criminal . sam : he could be dangerous , and if he is who i think he is , then you 're in a -- elizabeth : why would he stick around ? sam : what ? elizabeth : does n't it make sense that whoever broke faison out of custody would have gotten on that boat , not hung out here in port charles , waiting to get caught ? sam : listen , i - i understand there are a lot of unanswered questions . that 's what i 'm trying to figure out . elizabeth : by chasing half - baked theories . sam : okay , you think that i 'm grasping at straws . i get it . i - i guess we 're gon na have to agree to disagree on this one . elizabeth : it 's making you look foolish , sam . sam : [ chuckles ] elizabeth : and it 's making jake look even worse . if you were smart , you 'd drop it . jason : she said she was sorry . be a gentleman . accept her apology . carlos : who the hell is this guy ? carly : jake , it 's okay . jason : `` i accept your apology , ms. corinthos jacks . `` you can do it . carlos : [ chuckles ] i accept your apology , ms. corinthos jacks . jason : there we go . good man . now you can take your business elsewhere . carlos : i 'll be seeing you . both of you . jason : looking forward to it . carly : that was interesting . jason : yeah , it was . [ clears throat ] sorry if i made a scene in your place . carly : no . my god , you had my back . thank you . jason : you 're welcome . [ chuckles ] carly : maybe you were a bodyguard in your past life . jason : i sincerely doubt that . carly : you have the skills . jason : huh . carly : why do n't we see if they extend to mixology ? shall we ? jason : yes , ma'am . well ? carly : wow . that is definitely not a martini . jason : i 'll give it another shot . carly : no ! no , no . [ chuckles ] [ sighs ] jason : was it really that bad ? carly : oh , wow . uh , you know , bartending 's just not your thing . but i 'm happy -- i would love to give you , you know , a job on my security team . jason : well , i 'm a lover , not a fighter . carly : could have fooled me . jason : [ chuckles ] sonny : now you 're after jerome ? are n't you biting off a little more than you can chew , johnny ? johnny : man , that territory 's ripe for the picking . julian 's in custody , ava 's right behind him , the boss is mia . the perfect time for me to swoop in , re- establish myself . sonny : good luck . johnny : thanks . i appreciate that . sonny : you know , jerome is n't gon na roll over easy . johnny : sure he will . you 'll see . the wheels are already in motion . julian : well , i do n't know how else to convince you i 'm innocent . i mean , when would i have time to plot against ric ? i 've been too busy trying to get the hell out of here . alexis : you have a raft of charges against you . you might even find yourself in a cell with sonny . julian : sonny pled guilty , which i have no intention of doing . look , alexis , come on . all i need is a decent lawyer . alexis : call diane . julian : i did . she 's crying `` conflict of interest . `` alexis : because she 's repping sonny . julian : exactly . alexis : there 's no shortage of attorneys out there . julian : none of them are you . alexis : you 'll manage . you 're very good at looking out for number one . julian : you are my number one , alexis , whether you want to believe that or not . no matter how many times you go out on a date with ned , how many times you push me away -- alexis : how many bars that are standing in between us . i got to go . julian : hey . do n't go . alexis : good luck . you 're gon na need it . dante : i 'm gon na go and check in on the nina situation . look , kiki , i know you 've helped franco escape once before . i hope you know better than to try that again . kiki : [ chuckles ] oh , no . not after this . dante : good . i 'm gon na leave officer murtaugh here to keep an eye on things . keep a safe distance from him just in case . franco : i would never hurt kiki . i love her . dante : well , that 's nice . did you hear that ? he loves you . that 's really nice . did n't you say the same thing about carly ? let 's go . nina : do you really mean that ? you want to be a family ? again ? just the three of us ? silas : just tell me it 's not too late . you know , we had something good once , before i messed everything up . we can have that again -- better now that this little girl is here . nina : oh , my god . you do n't know how long i 've been waiting to hear you say just that . silas : wait 's over . i 'm yours . and yours . nina : [ chuckles ] silas : you might know that if your mom would let me hold you once . nina : okay . here . her name is jaime . silas : hi , jaime . hi , sweetheart . nina : that 's your daddy . that 's your daddy . she has the best of both of us . that 's your dad . ava : oh , thank god . nina : what -- what are you doing ? let go of me ! no ! no ! no ! keep away from the baby . silas . silas , help me ! no ! silas : take her . nina : what ? oh , i will kill you . morgan : shut up . nina : i will kill you . morgan : shut up . ava , ava , is the baby okay ? nina : that 's my baby ! ava : she 's perfect . nina : let go of me ! ava : it 's all over , sweetheart . nina : keep away from her ! that 's my baby !

[ sighs ] when i found out that sami was pregnant and e.j . was the father , i was so envious . she was carrying his baby , his flesh and blood . and i thought , would n't it be amazing if i could give e.j . a baby that was his biologically ? so , i went and talked to the nun , and i gave her your business card . and i thought if -- if sami gave birth here ... dr. baker : that you could take her baby ? nicole : and you ... could give mia 's to the convent . do n't you see ? this is fate . i mean , these babies were born almost the exact same time , and they are both little girls . they just accidentally got put in different bassinets . stranger things have happened . dr. baker : first time i laid eyes on you , i knew something was off . now i 'm convinced . you 're a psychopath . chloe : your message . it was a complete 180 . you do know that , do n't you ? i mean , just earlier , you were urging me to tell people about us , that it could n't wait . it did n't matter who we hurt because it was so terribly wrong for me to live this lie , not to mention that you could n't give me up . it was impossible . then all of a sudden , you tell me it 's over ? daniel : when i saw you earlier at the pub with little allie and johnny and lucas , all of your together , you looked -- you looked very happy . and obviously , allie , she 's just -- she 's attached to you . so , i thought , no . no , i am not gon na do that . i am not gon na destroy that . chloe : right . when i listened to your message , there was actually a part of me that was really relieved . then when i listened to it again ... i wanted to kill you . daniel : well , that 's honest . chloe : then i ran into kate , and she said that you seemed sad and alone . daniel : well , no , i 'm not . that 's her perception . chloe : was she wrong ? daniel : why , does it matter ? chloe : no , i - it does n't matter . it 's totally irrelevant . daniel : right . well , i - i meant it . i ca n't do this . i 'm not gon na do it , and i need you to get out . i want you to leave . chloe : you 're a liar ! you do n't want me to leave , and you know that . you knew that that message would torture me . you knew that if you told me you did n't want me anymore and if you pretended to reject me that i would finally realize what you 've known all along , that there 's no way in hell that we can end this . hope : what is it ? bo : it 's just , um ... hope : what ? bo : this marino murder , it 's -- hope : what about it ? oh , you 're not still thinking about taking me off the case . bo : uh , no . hope : i do n't even get what that was about . bo : i explained . hope : mm - hmm . you wanted me home to make you dinner , not that i can cook . bo : yeah . right . i was -- i was being a jerk , like you said , you know . i 'm over it now . hope : maybe . but you 're still not over whatever was bothering you in the first place . you said you had a vision , but you would n't tell me what it was . bo : 'cause i really did n't know what it was . it was all just , you know , jumbled up , these strange images . hope : of ? people ? bo : you know , i ... there 's really nothing to talk about , so let 's forget it , okay ? hope : hey , steve . steve : hey , guys . bo : sit down . appreciate you coming by . hope : yeah , thanks . so , what do you got ? steve : let 's see if you like this one . i think i might have a lead on marino 's killer . maggie : sir . sir . can you hear me ? sir ? [ gasps ] e.j . : father ? father , can you hear me all right ? okay . uh , i 'm just leaving rome . i think everything went very well . in fact , if my instincts are correct , i 'd say -- i 'd say that we have a wonderfully bright future ahead of us in italy . well , they were anxious to schedule something as soon as possible , but i told them not until after nicole has the baby . i 'm not missing that . sister theresa : excuse me . would you be so kind as to tell me where the doctor is ? dr. baker : [ exhales ] nicole : so , what made you want to be a doctor ? is it that big , compassionate heart of yours ? dr. baker : get the hell out of here . nicole : or is it your love for children ? i bet that 's what it is . i bet you could n't wait to deliver babies in some ratty clinic in the middle of nowhere and then figure out how you can sell them to the highest bidder . dr. baker : i want you to leave now . nicole : okay , fine , i 'll leave . and i 'll go right to the cops and tell them about this racket you 're running . dr. baker : great . i 'll call your fiancé and tell him what a crazy little bitch you are . hell , i 'll tell the whole world . nicole : i do n't expect you to understand why i 've done what i 've done , but i do expect you to have some compassion and some sympathy . my baby was a part of me for five months , and those were the happiest months of my life . and then she was taken from me just like that . dr. baker : nicole , you 're not the first woman to have a miscarriage . nicole : but i ca n't get pregnant again , remember ? and my desire to be a mother did n't die when my baby died . in fact , it 's just the opposite . it made me want a baby even more . dr. baker : you do have a baby , all right ? and you are a mother of a beautiful baby girl . nicole : i know . and i 'm grateful to mia for making this happen , but ... but then there 's this little girl , e.j . 's baby . and in my heart , i know that she is the one that i 'm supposed to have . and i will , no matter what it takes . dr. baker : she 's not yours , all right ? she 's colleen 's . nicole : sami 's . dr. baker : whatever . she 's not yours . you ca n't just switch these babies and not have somebody find out . how can you possibly expect to pull this off ? daniel : predictable . chloe : what is ? daniel : well , this whole time i was trying to persuade you that you and i belong together somehow . i begged you to tell lucas . i was almost certain that we were gon na be something . but then all of a sudden , i change my mind -- chloe : and why the hell have you changed your mind ? daniel : no , i think i just told you . chloe : why , because you saw me and lucas and allie together through the pub window ? what , because i was trying to push you out of my mind for a moment by having a little bit of fun ? daniel : well , it looked like you succeeded . chloe : succeeded ? daniel : in pushing me right out of your mind . did a great job with that . chloe : oh . wh -- so that 's what this is all about ? what , because i had some fun without you , because i dared to seem happy without you gracing me with your presence ? daniel : no , no , that 's not what this is about . chloe : then what else could it be ? daniel : listen to me . this is not about me or my ego or whatever the hell it is you 're trying to insinuate here . chloe : it 's got to be something . daniel : yeah , it is . you 're part of a family . now , i 'm not proud of the fact that i have fallen in love with someone 's fiancée . but i would like to think that i am not totally devoid of decency here . so i will not break up any family . i wo n't . i wo n't do it . chloe : how noble . daniel : yeah , well , i got to live with myself . chloe : oh , okay , so it 's all about you . it was bound to be at one point . daniel : you know , if that 's the way you see it , fine . chloe : kate says that you seem alone . daniel : yeah , i do n't want to talk about kate . chloe : well , what if she asks you to come back ? what will you do ? daniel : did you just hear me ? i do n't want to talk about her . chloe : fine ! then we 'll talk about you and me . daniel : chloe , we are not -- chloe : you do n't tell someone you love them one day and then dump them in a voicemail the next , okay , especially after you 've made it so they ca n't think of anything else but you day and night , even in their dreams . i truly do hate you . steve : i did some digging with the help of a buddy of mine . dude 's a hard - core computer geek . hope : hack job on the dimeras ? steve : something like that . was n't exactly by the book . bo : do n't want to hear it . hope : so , cut to the chase . what do you got ? steve : well , i found something interesting that could connect dimera to our killer . you ca n't go in there . sister theresa : colleen is very concerned about her child . we 've been waiting a long time for a report . i 'm sorry , but the doctor 's dealing with an emergency right now . sister theresa : do you have any updates at all ? this lack of information is making the poor girl frantic . as soon as we get word , she 'll be the first to know . sister theresa : of course . thank you . nicole : did sami ever hold her baby ? did she ever get a good look at it ? dr. baker : what 's that got to do with anything we 're talking about ? nicole : she did n't , did she ? so she 's not gon na know the difference . dr. baker : of course she will . she spent nine months carrying the baby , nicole . nicole : newborns all look the same anyway . i mean , look at them . they 're practically identical . dr. baker : great . and then she grows up and has none of sami 's characteristics . nicole : she 's not gon na see her grow up . sami is abandoning this baby . i told you that . she 's giving it to the orphanage at the convent . dr. baker : what if she has a change of heart ? nicole : why would she ? she does n't want this baby . she did n't even tell the father that she was pregnant . dr. baker : that 's getting to be a trend around here . nicole : do n't you dare compare me to her . i actually want this child . dr. baker : [ exhales ] how can you be so sure that she does n't ? nicole : because ... i overheard her confessing to the nun at the convent that she wished she was never pregnant and that she resents this baby and -- and all the problems that it 's caused her . i mean , does that sound like a woman who deserves to be a mother ? e.j . and i will give that baby a good life , better than sami ever would . and i 'm going to commit myself to her 100 % , and i know e.j . will , too . but you have to help me make that happen , dr. baker . what do you say ? daniel : you 're right . the voicemail -- i should have told you to your face that it was over . chloe : why did n't you ? daniel : because i knew -- i knew it would end up ... just like this . chloe : what ? you knew i 'd be angry ? daniel : yeah . i suppose you have every right . chloe : you suppose ? daniel : yeah . chloe : you profess your love for me , telling me you 've been waiting for me your whole life , and then you leave me a voicemail saying that it 's over . and you suppose that i have a right to be angry ? ! daniel : you have every right . chloe : it 's more than angry , daniel . i 'm disgusted with myself for thinking that you were a man of your word , for cheating on the man that i 'm gon na marry for some shallow bastard who does n't even have the courage of his convictions ! daniel : oh , so you think now i 'm the scum of the earth ? this is good . let it out . chloe : good ? daniel : yeah , it 's really good 'cause it 's gon na make it easier for us to go our separate ways -- that much easier . steve : have you guys ever heard of a company called holtgren international ? hope : mnh - mnh . bo : no . steve : well , the name popped up on dimera 's computer a couple of times , so i did a search on it . turns out this corporation lists holdings in millions of dollars . get this -- a healthy chunk of that is held by capstar bank . hope : capstar . there 's a branch here in salem . steve : convenient , huh ? bo : so , you think stefano 's using this corporation to bankroll his illegal activities . hope : yeah , like employing hit men . bo : good work , man . steve : well , i do want to check into it a little bit more . bo : yeah , and we should get ahold of roman . hope : yeah , i 'm on it . [ cellphone ringing ] steve : ooh . kayla . kayla : aah ! maggie : kayla , how is he ? kayla : um , he 's still unconscious . maggie : i wish i knew how long he had been lying there when i found him . kayla : well , i 'm not sure , but it 's a good thing you did . otherwise , he may not have made it . maggie : well , do you think he 's gon na be all right ? kayla : it 's still too early to tell . he may need surgery . maggie : oh , poor man . i wish i knew who he was . rafe : [ grunting ] where is she ? no . you got to be kidding me . she 's at the convent . rafe : [ straining ] come on . come on . [ grunting ] dr. baker : i will not switch these babies . it 's too damn risky . nicole : why ? how are you gon na get caught ? no one 's gon na know except for me , and i 'm not gon na say anything . dr. baker : the answer is no . now , please leave so i can take this baby to her mother ? [ knock on door ] sister theresa : excuse me . dr. baker . chloe : you son of a bitch . steve : yeah , so , um , i 'll see what else i can dig up on dimera . i think we got a pretty good start , though . bo ? bo : yeah , i agree . steve : what 's going on , man ? bo : nothing . want a drink ? steve : hey . bo : what ? steve : did you have another one of those visions ? bo : could we concentrate on this case , please ? steve : did you have another one ? bo : yes . yes , i had -- yeah . and ... i think it involved hope . steve : was she shooting the gun again ? bo : a gun was fired and ... someone did get shot . steve : who ? who got shot ? tell me . bo : it 's kayla ? steve : what ? bo : you know what , i 'm not sure . this is -- this is all just in my crazy head . steve : you 're not crazy , bo . what are you talking about ? bo : i wish i was as sure of that as you are . it 's just -- i should n't have said anything . it 's -- steve : listen to me . until you 're sure of what these visions mean , we 're gon na keep those women apart . bo : yeah . hope : no , i 'll make sure . e.j . : i 'm so sorry that i let you down . you know , we were supposed to have a nice , romantic weekend together , and i get talked off into going on some pointless business trip to nowhere . nicole : this is not your fault . what could you do ? e.j . : i could have said no . nicole : to your father ? e.j . : to my father . to anybody . darling , you and this child are my number - one priority , the most important thing in my life . and i give you my word . i am never going to leave you again . i promise . sister theresa : i 'm terribly sorry to bother you , doctor , but colleen is very worried about her baby . and , please , ca n't you give us an update ? dr. baker : we 're doing everything we can . tell her i 'll be with her shortly . sister theresa : but that 's all you can tell me ? dr. baker : that 's all i can tell you right now . we 're doing everything -- now do you see why we ca n't switch these babies ? somebody 's gon na find out . nicole : actually , i see why now we have no choice but to switch these babies . and you should , too . please , dr. baker , you have to help me . hope : i will . thanks , roman . bo : what did he have to say ? hope : he thinks we should track the money from the killer 's end -- check the security cameras at capstar and see if our guy 's made any withdrawals . bo : maybe one of the tellers can i.d . the killer . hope : mm - hmm . and with any luck , his account will lead us to stefano 's . bo : let 's get lucky . steve : yeah . i 'll keep checking the dimera angle . bo : i 'm thinking we 're gon na wrap this case up pretty quick , thanks to you . steve : i 'm gon na take off . i 'll talk to you guys later . hope : hey , i 'll walk out with you . bo : where are you going ? hope : i thought i told you , to go see kay . bo : uh , no . hope : what ? that 's a bad idea . maggie : do you know what happened to him ? kayla : well , it was probably some kind of mugging . as soon as the police get here , we 'll file a report . but , you know , maggie , you really should n't be walking alone at night , especially down at the pier . maggie : [ chuckles ] well , believe me , i wo n't anymore . but i will feel a whole lot safer when they find whoever did this . rafe : [ grunting ] damn it . damn it !

[ sighs ] when i found out that sami was pregnant and e.j . was the father , i was so envious . she was carrying his baby , his flesh and blood . and i thought , would n't it be amazing if i could give e.j . a baby that was his biologically ? so , i went and talked to the nun , and i gave her your business card . and i thought if -- if sami gave birth here ... dr. baker : that you could take her baby ? nicole : and you ... could give mia 's to the convent . do n't you see ? this is fate . i mean , these babies were born almost the exact same time , and they are both little girls . they just accidentally got put in different bassinets . stranger things have happened . dr. baker : first time i laid eyes on you , i knew something was off . now i 'm convinced . you 're a psychopath . chloe : your message . it was a complete 180 . you do know that , do n't you ? i mean , just earlier , you were urging me to tell people about us , that it could n't wait . it did n't matter who we hurt because it was so terribly wrong for me to live this lie , not to mention that you could n't give me up . it was impossible . then all of a sudden , you tell me it 's over ? daniel : when i saw you earlier at the pub with little allie and johnny and lucas , all of your together , you looked -- you looked very happy . and obviously , allie , she 's just -- she 's attached to you . so , i thought , no . no , i am not gon na do that . i am not gon na destroy that . chloe : right . when i listened to your message , there was actually a part of me that was really relieved . then when i listened to it again ... i wanted to kill you . daniel : well , that 's honest . chloe : then i ran into kate , and she said that you seemed sad and alone . daniel : well , no , i 'm not . that 's her perception . chloe : was she wrong ? daniel : why , does it matter ? chloe : no , i - it does n't matter . it 's totally irrelevant . daniel : right . well , i - i meant it . i ca n't do this . i 'm not gon na do it , and i need you to get out . i want you to leave . chloe : you 're a liar ! you do n't want me to leave , and you know that . you knew that that message would torture me . you knew that if you told me you did n't want me anymore and if you pretended to reject me that i would finally realize what you 've known all along , that there 's no way in hell that we can end this . hope : what is it ? bo : it 's just , um ... hope : what ? bo : this marino murder , it 's -- hope : what about it ? oh , you 're not still thinking about taking me off the case . bo : uh , no . hope : i do n't even get what that was about . bo : i explained . hope : mm - hmm . you wanted me home to make you dinner , not that i can cook . bo : yeah . right . i was -- i was being a jerk , like you said , you know . i 'm over it now . hope : maybe . but you 're still not over whatever was bothering you in the first place . you said you had a vision , but you would n't tell me what it was . bo : 'cause i really did n't know what it was . it was all just , you know , jumbled up , these strange images . hope : of ? people ? bo : you know , i ... there 's really nothing to talk about , so let 's forget it , okay ? hope : hey , steve . steve : hey , guys . bo : sit down . appreciate you coming by . hope : yeah , thanks . so , what do you got ? steve : let 's see if you like this one . i think i might have a lead on marino 's killer . maggie : sir . sir . can you hear me ? sir ? [ gasps ] e.j . : father ? father , can you hear me all right ? okay . uh , i 'm just leaving rome . i think everything went very well . in fact , if my instincts are correct , i 'd say -- i 'd say that we have a wonderfully bright future ahead of us in italy . well , they were anxious to schedule something as soon as possible , but i told them not until after nicole has the baby . i 'm not missing that . sister theresa : excuse me . would you be so kind as to tell me where the doctor is ? dr. baker : [ exhales ] nicole : so , what made you want to be a doctor ? is it that big , compassionate heart of yours ? dr. baker : get the hell out of here . nicole : or is it your love for children ? i bet that 's what it is . i bet you could n't wait to deliver babies in some ratty clinic in the middle of nowhere and then figure out how you can sell them to the highest bidder . dr. baker : i want you to leave now . nicole : okay , fine , i 'll leave . and i 'll go right to the cops and tell them about this racket you 're running . dr. baker : great . i 'll call your fiancé and tell him what a crazy little bitch you are . hell , i 'll tell the whole world . nicole : i do n't expect you to understand why i 've done what i 've done , but i do expect you to have some compassion and some sympathy . my baby was a part of me for five months , and those were the happiest months of my life . and then she was taken from me just like that . dr. baker : nicole , you 're not the first woman to have a miscarriage . nicole : but i ca n't get pregnant again , remember ? and my desire to be a mother did n't die when my baby died . in fact , it 's just the opposite . it made me want a baby even more . dr. baker : you do have a baby , all right ? and you are a mother of a beautiful baby girl . nicole : i know . and i 'm grateful to mia for making this happen , but ... but then there 's this little girl , e.j . 's baby . and in my heart , i know that she is the one that i 'm supposed to have . and i will , no matter what it takes . dr. baker : she 's not yours , all right ? she 's colleen 's . nicole : sami 's . dr. baker : whatever . she 's not yours . you ca n't just switch these babies and not have somebody find out . how can you possibly expect to pull this off ? daniel : predictable . chloe : what is ? daniel : well , this whole time i was trying to persuade you that you and i belong together somehow . i begged you to tell lucas . i was almost certain that we were gon na be something . but then all of a sudden , i change my mind -- chloe : and why the hell have you changed your mind ? daniel : no , i think i just told you . chloe : why , because you saw me and lucas and allie together through the pub window ? what , because i was trying to push you out of my mind for a moment by having a little bit of fun ? daniel : well , it looked like you succeeded . chloe : succeeded ? daniel : in pushing me right out of your mind . did a great job with that . chloe : oh . wh -- so that 's what this is all about ? what , because i had some fun without you , because i dared to seem happy without you gracing me with your presence ? daniel : no , no , that 's not what this is about . chloe : then what else could it be ? daniel : listen to me . this is not about me or my ego or whatever the hell it is you 're trying to insinuate here . chloe : it 's got to be something . daniel : yeah , it is . you 're part of a family . now , i 'm not proud of the fact that i have fallen in love with someone 's fiancée . but i would like to think that i am not totally devoid of decency here . so i will not break up any family . i wo n't . i wo n't do it . chloe : how noble . daniel : yeah , well , i got to live with myself . chloe : oh , okay , so it 's all about you . it was bound to be at one point . daniel : you know , if that 's the way you see it , fine . chloe : kate says that you seem alone . daniel : yeah , i do n't want to talk about kate . chloe : well , what if she asks you to come back ? what will you do ? daniel : did you just hear me ? i do n't want to talk about her . chloe : fine ! then we 'll talk about you and me . daniel : chloe , we are not -- chloe : you do n't tell someone you love them one day and then dump them in a voicemail the next , okay , especially after you 've made it so they ca n't think of anything else but you day and night , even in their dreams . i truly do hate you . steve : i did some digging with the help of a buddy of mine . dude 's a hard - core computer geek . hope : hack job on the dimeras ? steve : something like that . was n't exactly by the book . bo : do n't want to hear it . hope : so , cut to the chase . what do you got ? steve : well , i found something interesting that could connect dimera to our killer . you ca n't go in there . sister theresa : colleen is very concerned about her child . we 've been waiting a long time for a report . i 'm sorry , but the doctor 's dealing with an emergency right now . sister theresa : do you have any updates at all ? this lack of information is making the poor girl frantic . as soon as we get word , she 'll be the first to know . sister theresa : of course . thank you . nicole : did sami ever hold her baby ? did she ever get a good look at it ? dr. baker : what 's that got to do with anything we 're talking about ? nicole : she did n't , did she ? so she 's not gon na know the difference . dr. baker : of course she will . she spent nine months carrying the baby , nicole . nicole : newborns all look the same anyway . i mean , look at them . they 're practically identical . dr. baker : great . and then she grows up and has none of sami 's characteristics . nicole : she 's not gon na see her grow up . sami is abandoning this baby . i told you that . she 's giving it to the orphanage at the convent . dr. baker : what if she has a change of heart ? nicole : why would she ? she does n't want this baby . she did n't even tell the father that she was pregnant . dr. baker : that 's getting to be a trend around here . nicole : do n't you dare compare me to her . i actually want this child . dr. baker : [ exhales ] how can you be so sure that she does n't ? nicole : because ... i overheard her confessing to the nun at the convent that she wished she was never pregnant and that she resents this baby and -- and all the problems that it 's caused her . i mean , does that sound like a woman who deserves to be a mother ? e.j . and i will give that baby a good life , better than sami ever would . and i 'm going to commit myself to her 100 % , and i know e.j . will , too . but you have to help me make that happen , dr. baker . what do you say ? daniel : you 're right . the voicemail -- i should have told you to your face that it was over . chloe : why did n't you ? daniel : because i knew -- i knew it would end up ... just like this . chloe : what ? you knew i 'd be angry ? daniel : yeah . i suppose you have every right . chloe : you suppose ? daniel : yeah . chloe : you profess your love for me , telling me you 've been waiting for me your whole life , and then you leave me a voicemail saying that it 's over . and you suppose that i have a right to be angry ? ! daniel : you have every right . chloe : it 's more than angry , daniel . i 'm disgusted with myself for thinking that you were a man of your word , for cheating on the man that i 'm gon na marry for some shallow bastard who does n't even have the courage of his convictions ! daniel : oh , so you think now i 'm the scum of the earth ? this is good . let it out . chloe : good ? daniel : yeah , it 's really good 'cause it 's gon na make it easier for us to go our separate ways -- that much easier . steve : have you guys ever heard of a company called holtgren international ? hope : mnh - mnh . bo : no . steve : well , the name popped up on dimera 's computer a couple of times , so i did a search on it . turns out this corporation lists holdings in millions of dollars . get this -- a healthy chunk of that is held by capstar bank . hope : capstar . there 's a branch here in salem . steve : convenient , huh ? bo : so , you think stefano 's using this corporation to bankroll his illegal activities . hope : yeah , like employing hit men . bo : good work , man . steve : well , i do want to check into it a little bit more . bo : yeah , and we should get ahold of roman . hope : yeah , i 'm on it . [ cellphone ringing ] steve : ooh . kayla . kayla : aah ! maggie : kayla , how is he ? kayla : um , he 's still unconscious . maggie : i wish i knew how long he had been lying there when i found him . kayla : well , i 'm not sure , but it 's a good thing you did . otherwise , he may not have made it . maggie : well , do you think he 's gon na be all right ? kayla : it 's still too early to tell . he may need surgery . maggie : oh , poor man . i wish i knew who he was . rafe : [ grunting ] where is she ? no . you got to be kidding me . she 's at the convent . rafe : [ straining ] come on . come on . [ grunting ] dr. baker : i will not switch these babies . it 's too damn risky . nicole : why ? how are you gon na get caught ? no one 's gon na know except for me , and i 'm not gon na say anything . dr. baker : the answer is no . now , please leave so i can take this baby to her mother ? [ knock on door ] sister theresa : excuse me . dr. baker . chloe : you son of a bitch . steve : yeah , so , um , i 'll see what else i can dig up on dimera . i think we got a pretty good start , though . bo ? bo : yeah , i agree . steve : what 's going on , man ? bo : nothing . want a drink ? steve : hey . bo : what ? steve : did you have another one of those visions ? bo : could we concentrate on this case , please ? steve : did you have another one ? bo : yes . yes , i had -- yeah . and ... i think it involved hope . steve : was she shooting the gun again ? bo : a gun was fired and ... someone did get shot . steve : who ? who got shot ? tell me . bo : it 's kayla ? steve : what ? bo : you know what , i 'm not sure . this is -- this is all just in my crazy head . steve : you 're not crazy , bo . what are you talking about ? bo : i wish i was as sure of that as you are . it 's just -- i should n't have said anything . it 's -- steve : listen to me . until you 're sure of what these visions mean , we 're gon na keep those women apart . bo : yeah . hope : no , i 'll make sure . e.j . : i 'm so sorry that i let you down . you know , we were supposed to have a nice , romantic weekend together , and i get talked off into going on some pointless business trip to nowhere . nicole : this is not your fault . what could you do ? e.j . : i could have said no . nicole : to your father ? e.j . : to my father . to anybody . darling , you and this child are my number - one priority , the most important thing in my life . and i give you my word . i am never going to leave you again . i promise . sister theresa : i 'm terribly sorry to bother you , doctor , but colleen is very worried about her baby . and , please , ca n't you give us an update ? dr. baker : we 're doing everything we can . tell her i 'll be with her shortly . sister theresa : but that 's all you can tell me ? dr. baker : that 's all i can tell you right now . we 're doing everything -- now do you see why we ca n't switch these babies ? somebody 's gon na find out . nicole : actually , i see why now we have no choice but to switch these babies . and you should , too . please , dr. baker , you have to help me . hope : i will . thanks , roman . bo : what did he have to say ? hope : he thinks we should track the money from the killer 's end -- check the security cameras at capstar and see if our guy 's made any withdrawals . bo : maybe one of the tellers can i.d . the killer . hope : mm - hmm . and with any luck , his account will lead us to stefano 's . bo : let 's get lucky . steve : yeah . i 'll keep checking the dimera angle . bo : i 'm thinking we 're gon na wrap this case up pretty quick , thanks to you . steve : i 'm gon na take off . i 'll talk to you guys later . hope : hey , i 'll walk out with you . bo : where are you going ? hope : i thought i told you , to go see kay . bo : uh , no . hope : what ? that 's a bad idea . maggie : do you know what happened to him ? kayla : well , it was probably some kind of mugging . as soon as the police get here , we 'll file a report . but , you know , maggie , you really should n't be walking alone at night , especially down at the pier . maggie : [ chuckles ] well , believe me , i wo n't anymore . but i will feel a whole lot safer when they find whoever did this . rafe : [ grunting ] damn it . damn it !

liam : yes . she 's been with us the whole time . hope : as phoebe . liam : yes , and thom -- and thomas knew . he knew , and he kept it from you . hope : no ... liam : yes ! yes ! he took advantage of your broken heart , but , here 's the thing , hope , your heart does n't have to be broken anymore because we got our miracle ! she 's alive ! our daughter is alive ! i mean , why do you think you and i have felt this magical connection to phoebe this whole time ? because she 's ours , hope ! hope : liam . liam . liam : just come with me . come with me to see our daughter . you take one look at her , and , trust me ... you 'll know . wyatt : how , flo ? i do n't understand . how -- how could you do this ? flo : anything i say to you right now is just gon na sound like an excuse . wyatt : well , try . flo : when zoe 's dad said that he needed my help , i did n't know what i was getting myself into . wyatt : pretending to be the birth mom of a child you did n't actually have is a pretty specific request . flo : i did n't know that 's what he wanted me to do at first . he just told me to trust him , and , stupidly , i did . wyatt : oh , my god , flo ... flo : wyatt , you got to believe me . i got too deep , too fast in all of this , and i did n't see a way out . and then i met hope , and it was like torture watching her just in agony every single day over this baby that she -- wyatt : but why did n't you stop it ? flo : i tried ! wyatt : you had the power . three words -- beth is alive ! flo : i tried to tell her so many times ! wyatt : yeah , well , you did n't try hard enough , obviously . flo : because every single time i tried , somebody got in my way . reese , zoe , thomas ... wyatt : [ sighs ] flo : they kept telling me that -- that even though it 's horrible , it all worked out , that beth was in a loving home with liam and steffy and that hope could be a mother to douglas . they told me that if i said a word about any of it that i would ruin everything . wyatt : you 'd be ruining it by telling two grieving parents that their child is n't really dead ? flo : i know . reese and zoe and i , we -- we would have gone to prison . wyatt : [ sighs ] flo : i would have lost everything , wyatt . i would have lost you . and i know that sounds horrible and selfish . but you wanted me to explain and try to make you understand , that 's what i 'm trying to do . wyatt : well , keep trying . flo : when thomas found out , he did n't want anyone getting in the way of being with hope , so ... he started threatening us . and he said that if we said a word about any of it to anyone that -- that he would destroy us . and then he started personally threatening my life , many times , and i did n't know what to do . i was so scared . please , wyatt , you -- you have to try to find a way to forgive me . please . i did n't -- i did n't mean for any of this to happen . we -- we ca n't end like this ! i know that you 're disappointed , i know that you 're mad , and you have every -- you have every right to be . but it 's me . i 'm -- i am still the same person that you fell in love with . wyatt : okay , but -- flo : i am ! i am , and -- when i got on that flight to l.a. , i had no idea this is what i was getting involved with . wyatt : but that 's -- that 's the thing . how many chances did you have ? how many months did you let this travesty go on ? like , if you could n't tell hope and liam , fine . but you could have told me . like , you should have told me . flo , if you loved me that much , you should have told me the truth . flo : i know . ridge : this has thrown you for a loop , has n't it ? steffy : mm , yeah . liam thinks things in the most logical ways , but ... he believes phoebe 's beth . ridge : look at me . liam is wrong . and , yeah , the idea of the doctor not knowing flo , that 's -- that 's a little strange , but there 's an explanation for it . it does n't mean that beth is alive . i 'm not blaming liam . he 's -- he 's going through a lot . he 's trying to figure this out . losing a kid is awful . you try to work through things , and those -- those ways are n't always logical . steffy : my brain agrees with you , but ... my stomach 's in knots . ridge : i get that . beth is gone . your daughter phoebe , she 's asleep right over there . hope : thomas ! thomas : what the hell do you think you 're doing ? get away from my wife ! hope : thomas ! liam : you lying son of a bitch . hope : thomas ! thomas ! look at me ! look at me ! what liam is saying , is it true ? liam : go ahead , thomas . now 's your chance . tell the truth , for once in your life . thomas : i am warning you , back off ! liam : do you see this , hope ? he 's not denying it . he is using your grief to manipulate you because that 's what a sick bastard like this thinks love is . thomas : do n't listen to him , okay ? he 's just trying to turn you against me with these ridiculous accusations . you are the lying son of a bitch ! liam : tell that to your son . hope : liam ! liam ! thomas : no ! no , come on . hope : no , thomas ! what is wrong with you ? thomas : this way ! this way ! hope : let me go ! liam ! thomas : go ! hope : liam ! wyatt : i -- i do n't know . i ca n't wrap my head around how you could do something like this . hope is your cousin . liam is my brother . they 're family . there are so many people that are affected by this ! flo : i messed up . i should have told hope and liam the minute i found out that their baby was alive . wyatt : i 'm -- i saw a future with you . the one that we used to dream about in high school . do you remember that ? only better . like , we would one day have a family , and -- flo : we can still have that . we can . i -- maybe not now . maybe not soon , but ... i hope that i can find a way to prove that you can trust me again . wyatt : but how -- how do we even do that ? you know what i mean ? all these months , like -- you 've been smiling in our faces while withholding this -- this , like , the most vital information imaginable . i just -- i did n't know that this -- this is the person that you could be . flo : i could n't believe it , either , but ... this secret , it just became bigger and bigger , and it took on a life of its own , and it felt like there was absolutely no way out . god , i have -- i have hated how i have felt these last few months . just like trapped and helpless . but , you know what ... i am glad . i am glad that it 's finally out . because it 's like i can finally breathe again . wyatt : [ sighs ] god , you know what ... i mean , this -- this woman that 's standing in front of me ... this is n't the person that i trusted . it 's not the woman that i loved . ridge : honey . i wish you were n't going through this . but it is temporary . steffy : mm . ridge : liam has to face the facts . he and hope , they lost their beautiful daughter on a stormy night in catalina . beth is gone . phoebe is alive and well and sleeping in your nursery , and you are the only mother she 'll ever know . hope : let me go ! stop ! thomas : i ca n't ! i wo n't lose you , okay ?

it 's a lie ! he 's trying to screw up your head ! all right ? he 's messing with you , and i wo n't allow that . hope : you hit him ! thomas : he deserved it . you 're my wife ! he ca n't lock you in a room and then fill your head with lies ! hope : who are you ? no ! thomas : i 'm your husband . i 'm your husband , okay ? i 'm your husband , and you have to believe me , okay ? you ca n't believe liam . you can't . you ca n't , okay ? he 's just trying to make me look bad . i 'm sorry . i 'm sorry , i 'm sorry . i did n't mean to scare you , okay ?

flo : because of you ! because i ran into you . the only man i ever loved ! and you helped me find my father and the logans and ... walking away from all of it just seemed unthinkable . it was so hard , wyatt . i wanted to tell hope so many times . but i knew if i did that i would -- i would lose everything . i -- wyatt : no ! no , do n't you see ? if you had said something , you would have been a hero . you would have been a hero to all of us . flo : my mom told me to just -- just live in the moment . and you and i , we -- we had been apart for so long , i could n't -- i could n't stand the thought of losing you again . but i did . did n't i ? i did . i knew i would . it does n't matter . i 'm probably gon na go to jail anyway . i mean , why would -- why would hope and liam forgive me ? they 're -- they 're gon na hate me . everyone is gon na hate me . but i brought this all on myself . i always knew that there would be consequences . but the only important thing right now is hope , liam , and beth . putting their family back together again , and now that the truth is out , hope can finally be a mother to her child .

steffy : yeah , yeah . it 's -- it 's just a lot . all of a sudden , you hear phoebe is beth . but flo will talk to liam , she 'll straighten everything out . she 'll put it to rest . and i 'll never have to hear it again . flo : please say something , wyatt . anything ! scream at me , call me names . just do n't -- just do n't look at me like that . do n't -- do n't look at me like you do n't even know me . wyatt : but -- but i do n't ! that 's the thing . the flo that i know is honest and honorable . like , she -- she would n't be a part of a kidnapping and then lie about it for months ! to hope and liam ?

[ scene_break ] julian : you know , i - i am trying to honor our agreement , i really am . keeping my hands and business clean , separating myself from sonny 's world , but ... [ chuckles ] ah , kim : but what ? julian : it 's a little difficult when , uh , sonny has every contractor in his back pocket . margaux : now we 're talking . tell me more about sonny 's pockets . [ scene_break ] sam : so ? i want to hear everything . fill me in . how 's oregon ? how 's parker ? kristina : i already did . sam : no . come on , kristina . i want , like , all the juicy stuff , the stuff you ca n't say in front of mom . kristina : [ chuckles ] okay . but you go first . [ scene_break ] stella : [ knocking on door ] i hope i 'm not interrupting . the housekeeper let me in . michael : hey , stella . is everything okay with my grandfather ? sstella : oh , yes , mike 's fine . probably schooling felix in checkers as we speak . i actually came to look in on you . monica sent me . i 'm very sorry about your son , michael . [ scene_break ] elizabeth : finally ! br > terry : wait . someone should capture this moment on film . are we finally working at the hospital at the same time ? elizabeth : oh , i know ! sorry . i 'm so glad to see you . you have no idea how glad i am to see you . terry : uh - oh . what 's wrong ? elizabeth : it 's -- it 's -- it 's nothing . [ sighs ] it 's something , but it 's nothing i ca n't handle . okay , it 's cameron . he totally got busted for shoplifting . terry : [ laughs ] really ? elizabeth : why are you laughing ? tterry : you know why . [ laughs ] [ scene_break ] [ door closes ] br > jjosslyn : hey , mom . carly : hey . br > josslyn : what 's up ? carly : can i talk to you for a second ? josslyn : okay . what 's going on ? carly : i know you 've been shoplifting . josslyn : [ scoffs ] mom , that 's crazy . carly : i found the clothes with the sensors and the tags still attached . josslyn : okay , well i can explain that -- carly : before we get any further into this , i want you to know that i 'm gon na believe whatever you tell me . and if i find out down the road that you 're not being honest with me , that 's gon na put us in a hole that 's gon na be really tough to dig our way out . so i want you to think about this , and i want you to answer me truthfully . did you steal those clothes ? josslyn : i 'm sorry . [ scene_break ] carly : you obviously did n't want the clothes because you stashed them in your grandfather 's closet . josslyn : well , i did n't know what to do with it , so i just put it in there . carly : can you tell me why ? jjosslyn : well , i was in the store , and ... i saw the stuff . and i did it , and i got away with it . carly : that 's the part that felt good , right ? getting away with it . josslyn : well , i had n't felt good in ... in a long time . carly : [ sighing ] god , josslyn . i ca n't imagine what this has been like for you . josslyn : me ? carly : yeah , you . how confused and alone you felt when i went to ferncliff . but stealing is not the way to deal with it . but i can understand what was driving you . josslyn : no , you do n't . carly : then tell me . josslyn : no , i do n't want to say it . it 's too awful . carly : does it have something to do with nelle ? it 's okay , baby . josslyn : [ voice breaking ] well , she said all these awful things about you , and i believed her . but you 're my mom , and i know that if the situation was flipped , you would 've stuck with me . what is wrong with me ? [ scene_break ] sam : i really do n't know where to start . kristina : how about when jason got back ? sam : [ exhales deeply ] okay . um ... while i was in the hospital and jason came to visit me , and as soon as i opened my eyes , i knew it was him . i knew something insane had happened and the man i married was n't jason . and that 's when i made my first ... gigantic mistake . i did n't -- i did n't tell drew that i recognized jason . kristina : why not ? sam : because i was ... in love with drew , and to be honest , i - i did n't know what to do . i was really confused , so i did the only thing i knew and that was just to reassure drew that i loved him , which was true , but ... ... you know , there was jason . kristina : yeah . sam : and so much of me wanted to be around him just to reassure myself that he was still alive , but i could n't even look at him in the eye because i knew jason knew the truth and that i was lying to my husband . kristina : [ sighs ] holy crap , sam . sam : welcome to my life . [ scene_break ] elizabeth : i know , right ? i 'm the biggest hypocrite coming down on cameron when i was a holy terror as a teenager . [ chuckles ] i just do n't know where all this is coming from . he had such a good year all the way around with -- academically , socially , athletically ... terry : wow ! who is this kid ? elizabeth : i know , right ? he 's the anti - me . or the anti `` who i was at his age `` me . [ chuckles ] cameron is ... he keeps it all together all the time . he 's the kid i never have to worry about . terry : maybe that 's the problem . [ scene_break ] curtis : chandra reached out to let me know that she had taken a job in port charles . jordan : and this was before or after she found out that you were living here ? curtis : i do n't know , and i do n't care . look , baby , i 'm here for you , okay ? i did not reach out to her . jordan : but we both know who did ... and why . [ scene_break ] kim : charlie , this is , um ... margaux dawson , the new d.a . julian : nice to meet you , um , margaux . margaux : and you must be charlie , as in charlie 's pub ? julian : no . i mean ... margaux : sorry . julian : yes . i actually own the pub , but my name 's not charlie . margaux : well , that 's not confusing at all . julian : mm . julian jerome , actually . [ chuckles ] and as district attorney , i 'm guessing you 've heard that name before . margaux : almost as often as the name corinthos . [ scene_break ] sonny : i ever tell you about al ? jason : i do n't -- i do n't think so . no . sonny : one of scully 's consiglieres , an older guy , in the business a long time , even longer than scully ? the -- [ sighs ] the night that , uh , joe gave me the order ... i guess al probably thought i looked a little nervous , so he -- he calls me . he said , `` hey , kid , come here . `` put his hand on my shoulder and , `` the decision 's been made . accept it , honor it , and do n't look back . `` `` can you do that ? `` jason : and what -- what would have happened if you said you could n't ? sonny : i do n't know . but i told al and myself i was capable of doing anything that night . jason : [ sighs ] i mean , do you regret it ? sonny : not for a second . [ scene_break ] kim : god , you know , you look so familiar . margaux : yeah , we just met the other day . kim : yeah , no , i know . i know that , but , you know , you looked familiar then , too . it 's just , uh ... are you sure that maybe we have n't met , like , outside of port charles before ? margaux : positive . i just have one of those faces . hm . kim : yeah , i guess -- i guess that -- that must be it . [ scene_break ] jordan : i 've done everything in my power to involve that woman in my wedding -- our wedding . curtis : aunt stella and i thank you for that . jordan : i look past her eye rolls and her snide remarks , and i just keep telling myself , `` be kind . `` curtis : baby , you 've been amazing . jordan : you know , and -- and meanwhile , the whole time , she 's been planning to sabotage us . curtis : i know . it 's messed up . jordan : no , `` messed up `` does n't even begin to describe it . i 'm telling you , curtis , this is a warning . `` kind `` may not be an option for me anymore when it comes to your aunt . [ scene_break ] stella : grief of the kind you 're facing , support helps . but it can be hard to ask for . that 's why there are special groups for parents who have lost infants , post , during , and pre - birth . people tend to think that they did n't have the baby long enough to love it . but you know better than anyone that is n't true , and so will the other members of your group . michael : hey , look , stella , um ... [ clears throat ] i really appreciate you coming here . i - i do . it 's just , uh , i 'm gon na be fine . i am . i - i - i got a handle on what happened and -- and how to move forward , so ... stella : huh . you may not look like your father , but you act just like him . so , i 'm gon na tell you a variation of what i told sonny . grief does n't exist on anyone 's timetable . it 's insidious , waiting , and if you do n't deal with it , it can ambush you when you least expect it . between you and me , i 've had some losses in my life that i 'm still dealing with . so , be aware , from one grieving person to another ... you wo n't see the traps that are right in front of you till you step in them . take these , michael . michael : [ quietly takes pamphlets ] stella : okay . and do n't throw them in the trash when i walk out the door . michael : [ normal voice ] i 'll wait five minutes . how 's that ? stella : [ chuckles ] you have my number . call me . any time , day or night . michael : hey , stella ? stella : yes ? michael : take care . stella : you , too , michael . [ scene_break ] sam : you know the night of the earthquake ... [ sighs ] jason and i , we almost died , and ... that was it , kristina . i - i - i could n't hide it anymore . i told him i - i loved him , i always have , i always will , and that i knew it was him all along . kristina : and drew ? sam : i had to tell him the truth , too , obviously . kristina : that must have been a heavy conversation . sam : [ chuckles ] you have no idea . but i did it . i said it . i - i said the words , i put it out there , and ... drew , you know , he -- he could n't live with it , not that i blame him . so ... he left me . kristina : wait , it was drew 's choice to end things ? sam : yeah , and it was -- it was the right decision . kristina : must have been . you seem really strong . i mean , more than that . you seem free . sam : `` free `` ? wow . [ chuckles ] probably because i can ... [ inhales deeply ] i can breathe again , and i 've got to say , it feels pretty good . [ scene_break ] carly : there 's nothing wrong with you . josslyn : how can you say that ? carly : because nelle is the one to blame . she used that kidney transplant to mess with your head . she acted like it was a gift , and it was n't . josslyn : well , she saved my life . carly : oh , my god , no , your father saved your life ! and we can debate till the cows come in whether jax was morally correct , but that 's not your responsibility . jax took that from you because he loves you . josslyn : yes , i know all that . but what nelle 's dad did to her -- carly : was terrible and awful , but that is not your problem . that is between nelle and frank , and i am so sorry that she made you feel like you owed her because you do not owe her , okay ? none of us do . josslyn : yeah , but you were grateful in the beginning . carly : yes , because i thought nelle was an innocent , kind person . but she snowed me , and she snowed michael , too . i want you to stop feeling like you should 've known better . josslyn : well , you did . might have taken you a second to get there , but , yeah , you figured it out , and so did michael . carly : baby , you 're barely 15 . and nelle showed you nothing but kindness . why would you believe anything else ? josslyn : because you told me ! carly : and nelle insisted the exact opposite . look , she 's a master manipulator , and nelle is sick . she 's ill . she 's a sociopath who tried to kill your brother . josslyn : and i chose her over you . why do n't you hate me ? [ scene_break ] sam : do i miss having a partner ? yes , i do . but , to be honest , working on who i am and what i want ... it 's worth it . kristina : so , that 's what you think i should do ? sam : i do n't know . is that what you need to do ? what 's going on with you and parker ? kristina : parker 's great . i mean , she got a guest professor spot in the english department at u of o , and they 're happy with her work , the students love her . she 'll be there for at least another year , and she may even get a chance at tenure . sam : okay . i was talking about your relationship . kristina : there 's nothing wrong with our relationship . parker 's been really supportive , and we have a lot of fun together . [ sighs ] it 's just that she 's a professor . she has a life , and ... i just feel like i 'm drifting . [ scene_break ] terry : not that i would know , but i hear being the perfect one comes with its own stresses . elizabeth : i know . i know , and i 've given it a lot of thought . i have . i 've spent a lot of time with jake because of his issues , and aiden -- aiden 's the baby of the family , and he 's super high - maintenance and gets into everything . terry : so , the most like you . elizabeth : [ chuckles ] exactly , yeah . but i 've given those two the bulk of my attention because they needed it , and with cameron , i just never had to do that . he 's always on top of his studies , and he knows what needs to be done , and he just does it . terry : no nagging required . elizabeth : he 's just a kid . it 's not fair . he deserves as much attention as his brothers . terry : you 're a wonderful mother , elizabeth . and i 'm sure cameron would be the first to say it . elizabeth : maybe after he gets his phone back . terry : okay , yeah , do n't ask until then . elizabeth : [ laughs ] [ scene_break ] carly : there is nothing you could ever do to make me stop loving you . i could be sad and disappointed about some of the choices or decisions you make , upset because i was n't there to guide you . i could never stop loving you . just like you could never stop loving me . josslyn : if you thought that for even a second -- carly : i did n't . josslyn : you promise ? carly : i promise . promise . [ laughs ] honey , people say that we 're so much alike , you know ? you have my fire and determination , killer good looks . [ chuckles ] but there 's one crucial difference . it was a long time in my life before i had unconditional love . did n't happen for me till i was in my 20s . josslyn : with jason ? carly : yeah . he was the first . and then after that , i felt it again , you know , with my mom and sonny and your dad . it 's having this incredible feeling of security . like , you could mess up big - time ... [ chuckles ] and those people are n't going to leave . and you had that kind of security your whole life , that unwavering support . and i do n't mean enabling or looking the other way when you do something destructive . i mean knowing that you are there . i do n't love you because you have my back or because you 're my biggest champion . i love you because you 're you . just like i know you love me because i 'm me . josslyn : [ sniffles ] [ tearfully ] i missed you so much . carly : [ softly ] i missed you , too . josslyn : [ sniffles ] carly : [ sighs ] [ scene_break ] sonny : i never had a problem eliminating a legitimate threat . jason : it is a necessary part of the business . sonny : yeah , i - i understood that . but the funny thing is that out of everything , right , what comes back to bite me , i thought it would be , like , a decision i made ... something i did because of my own ambition . i would never have thought that it would be an order from joe scully . jason : we just have to make sure ... that does n't happen . okay ? that one way or another , that body never resurfaces . sonny : so , you 're saying we got -- we -- we -- we got a lot of options . jason : always . we always do . sonny : all right . jason : [ cellphone vibrates ] oh , man , i told sam that i 'd meet with her . sonny : yeah , go . go . jason : you 'll let me know if you need anything , right ? sonny : you know i will . jason : we 're gon na handle this . [ scene_break ] margaux : so , sonny wants to buy this place ? what 's so interesting about charlie 's pub ? i -- sorry . no offense or anything . it is a great place . i just would n't say that it 's in sonny 's wheelhouse . kim : um , well , sonny 's father has alzheimer 's , and charlie 's pub is meaningful to him . it has a history , so he wanted to buy it for him . margaux : like a gift ? julian : yeah , like a gift he wo n't remember . kim : julian ! julian : ohh ! did you hear that ? she called me julian . she never calls me julian . i must be in trouble . kim : okay , but not every gesture the man makes has to lead to something sinister . margaux : maybe not . but let 's be real , most of them do . [ scene_break ] jordan : stella 's never gon na like me , and i ca n't have someone at our wedding who 's secretly wishing that you were marrying someone else . curtis : so , what do we do ? jordan : we take a stand . i do n't want her there . curtis : baby jordan : i do n't . no . i 'm -- i am done tip - toeing around aunt stella . i just want our wedding day to be the best day of our lives , baby . do n't you want that , too ? curtis : you know i do . jordan : then tell your aunt that she ca n't come . [ scene_break ] elizabeth : i think i need to carve out a little time for me and cameron to just talk . just the two of us , no distractions about life and school , friends , girls ... terry : so , basically his worst nightmare ? elizabeth : [ chuckles ] i just do n't want him to feel invisible . terry : he wo n't . elizabeth : how do you know ? terry : because of this very conversation . you 're concerned about your son 's behavior , you 've pinpointed a probable cause , and now you 're brainstorming ways to make it better . that 's a parent , biz . and a damn good one . [ scene_break ] josslyn : i just missed talking to you . carly : i missed talking to you , too . josslyn : i even missed fighting with you . carly : [ laughs ] oh , really ? there 's a first . what , did you miss having me around , policing how short your skirts are ? josslyn : yeah , actually . at least then i knew where you stood . i could take your opinion and weigh it against mine , but not knowing what you thought ... i felt ... carly : lost . josslyn : more than anything , i wanted that to stop . carly : baby . [ sighs ] josslyn : [ sniffles ] carly : is that when you started , um , shoplifting ? i get -- i get that , you know , the during was the rush . realizing that you were n't caught . but , you know , there was emptiness afterwards , was n't there ? josslyn : totally . you know , you 're sitting there with the shirt , and you 're like , `` what is this ? `` `` why did i just do that ? `` i do n't know . everything else in my life was just spinning out of control . i thought , maybe this , i can regain some more control over my life , but ... i do n't know . i thought it 'd make things better . carly : it was n't the answer . josslyn : [ quietly ] i know . [ normal voice ] i mean , if it helps , i have n't done it since you got back . carly : that helps . helps a lot . josslyn : i just did n't know where to put the clothes . carly : i can tell you where you 're gon na put the clothes . you 're going to take back every item , and you 're going to admit what happened . i 'm going to compensate the vendor for each item , and you 're gon na pay me back with the money you 've made from lila 's kids . and if that 's not enough , you 're gon na bus tables at the metro court until you pay me back . josslyn : so , there is n't like , a `` forget it all happened `` option ? carly : oh , no . we 're going to start first thing in the morning . [ scoffs ] you wanted me back . i 'm back ! josslyn : [ softly ] thank god . carly : [ laughs ] josslyn : [ sighs ] [ scene_break ] michael : [ sighs ] kristina : michael ? michael : kristina ? hey . i did n't know you were , uh ... kristina : well , i had to come see you . i 'm sorry . i 'm so , so sorry . [ scene_break ] kim : do n't let the d.a . talk you into picking a fight with sonny . [ sighs ] okay , charlie ? because you know where that 'll end . you 'll be going back to the mob , and i ... i 'll be gone . julian : is that a threat ? kim : no , it 's not a threat . it 's just the truth . look , i 've been honest with you from the beginning . julian : [ sighs ] kim : look ... babe , we are -- we are in such a good place right now . i mean , we are going towards an even better place , i hope . and i would just really , really hate for us to miss out on that opportunity . julian : yeah . me , too . kim : you know , and then i 'd have to go somewhere else for my cortados . that would be such a pain . julian : yeah , well , that 's because they would n't be nearly as good . kim : no , they would n't be . julian : mm - hmm . kim : so , we on the same page ? julian : mm - hmm . kim : mm - hmm . good . [ scene_break ] stella : is that what you want , curtis ? you 'd prefer i not attend your wedding ? curtis : no , of course not , aunt stella . but i got to say , you 're not giving us much choice with that nonsense you pulled with chandra . stella : i owned up to my mistake . what else do you want from me ? jordan : oh , i think it 's a little late for apologies now . do n't you think ? i mean , how am i supposed to trust a word that comes out of your mouth yet again ? stella : i do n't know , jordan . how am i supposed to trust that you wo n't cheat on your husband yet again ? jordan : that 's it , i 'm done . i 'm good . i 'm done . curtis : look , look , look , listen . listen . no one 's going anywhere until we figure this out . [ scene_break ] carly : i 'm gon na hang this in a place of honor . josslyn : mom ... carly : `` mom `` what ? are you kidding ? my baby was awarded the scholar - athlete of the year for the freshman class . this is huge ! josslyn : okay , i guess it was kind of cool . carly : just so bummed i was n't there . josslyn : oh , well , do n't worry , oscar 's mom took about a thousand and one pictures of me accepting it , so ... carly : well , i 'm gon na want those pictures . josslyn : are you gon na hang them in a place of honor , too ? carly : just 999 of them . [ laughs ] [ door closes ] sonny : i got to say , coming home and seeing these smiles , it 's , uh ... it 's the greatest thing . josslyn : um , uncle sonny , there 's ... there 's something you should know . those clothes of mine that mike found in his room ... i stole them . sonny : what ? what do you mean ? josslyn : well , i was shoplifting for a while . i 'm not anymore , but i did it a few times . i guess i was just overwhelmed by everything , and ... that was just my way of ... taking back some control . i 'm really sorry . sonny : i 'm sorry , too . josslyn : why ? sonny : because you should 've been able to come to me , and i should 've been -- you know , i should 've asked you a lot more questions . josslyn : no . no , you ca n't blame yourself for my bad decisions . i made them , and i own them . sonny : okay , but you know enough about what i do that preaching to you about following the laws seems hypocritical . but you got to understand something . now that -- that -- that you are my step - daughter ... fair or unfair ... you got to be held to a different standard . people that are gunning for me usually come after the people that are close to me . ask your mother . half of what she went through is because her last name is corinthos . josslyn : well , good thing i stuck with `` jacks . `` sonny : [ laughs ] you know what i mean . josslyn : i do . sonny : i know it 's not fair , but it 's just , uh , you know , it 's the way it has to be . so , next time you think about breaking the law ... call me , come to me . just do n't do it . josslyn : okay . sonny : and that applies to everything else , like ... speeding and drinking and driving ... carly : trespassing . sonny : and breaking and entering . carly : jaywalking . sonny : all of it . josslyn : oh , should i just become a nun ? sonny : well , that does n't -- that 's not the worst idea . both ( carly & josslyn ) : yes , it is !

[ scene_break ] michael : you know , i 'm just so mad at myself . kristina : why ? michael : because i knew better . i mean , nelle -- nelle , she -- she -- she drugged our father , krissy , and i -- and i decided this is the woman i want to be with ? not only that , but create a child with ? kristina : you did n't get nelle pregnant on purpose . michael : all that matters is that it happened , and -- and i created this whole situation and got my mom sent to a mental institution . kristina : but she got out because of you . well , initially because of jason , but she stayed out thanks to you . michael : yeah , and my `` brilliant `` sting , right ? kristina : it worked , michael . michael : and it got my child killed ! [ dramatic music plays ] michael : [ sighs ] kristina : hear me out . and if you ca n't , i 'm just gon na keep saying it until you do . i checked with everyone . jonah did not die because of that accident . michael : kristina , you do n't -- you do n't understand . kristina : he was n't injured . there was no bruising , no lack of oxygen , nothing . driving the car off that road is n't why he did n't make it . you want to regret your choices ? sure , go ahead . you and i can start a club , but you can not blame yourself for your son 's death . [ scene_break ] [ door opens ] [ door closes ] sam : thanks for coming . i 'm sure this is n't your first choice of venue . jason : yeah , for you , either . sam : yeah , curtis picked it . anyway , i ... have danny 's permission slip for a field trip for you to sign since he 's gon na be with you the night before and in the morning . jason : ah . sam : why do n't you ... jason : oh . sam : sign off . jason : got it .

[ scene_break ] jason : gossett farms , huh ? sam : yeah , danny actually thinks he 's gon na bring a pig home as a pet , and i told him it 's definitely not happening . jason : uh , okay , well , if it does , that thing goes straight to your place . sam : you know , i hear they make for good pets . jason : straight to your place . sam : [ quietly ] leave it up to julian to cozy up to the new d.a . is it me , or is there something off with her ? [ scene_break ] elizabeth : i have n't even asked you . how 's work going ? terry : it 's great . elizabeth : yeah ? terry : most of my patients are doing well . i have one case that 's especially challenging . but medicine is the business of hope , right ? elizabeth : yes . kim : hey , elizabeth . elizabeth : hey . hey , how are you ? kim : i 'm -- i 'm a little crazy , but i 'm good . terry , i am so sorry that i 'm late . do you still have time to go over that blood work , or do we need to reschedule ? terry : no , i have a half - hour before my next appointment . kim : okay , great . [ chuckles ] terry : see you soon ? elizabeth : definitely . kim : have a good one , elizabeth . elizabeth : you , too . [ scene_break ] sonny : i did n't think this was going on . i mean , you - you 're so well put together , you were going to school , and ... you were winning your games , you got an award . i thought that you were handling this , you know , your mom 's absence better than i was . josslyn : well , yeah , except for the shoplifting . carly : which was a huge mistake . and i think we all can agree that it could 've been worse , you know ? you could 've made a life mistake that you could n't take back . sonny : you dealt with it with poise and grace . carly : and incredible courage . sonny : we 're very proud of you . carly : well , not the stealing part . sonny : well , no . you know , with everything else . you are a rock star . josslyn : well , i guess i take after my mom . carly : yeah ! josslyn : [ chuckles ] carly : [ laughs ] [ scene_break ] kristina : you messed up with nelle . so did a lot of other people from what i hear . and i know you feel responsible for that crash , which you were n't , but even if you lost control of the car out of sheer negligence , it still would n't be the reason why your son is gone . michael : [ exhales deeply ] you know , i - i thought that he was gon na be the one good thing to come out of all of this ... that nelle would be caught , that i would have my -- my child , i would be able to raise him , i 'd be able to keep him safe . [ sighs ] and then when nelle ... put him in my arms , i , uh ... she told me that -- that -- that he -- he was gone . they told me that he was gone , and i just -- it -- it did n't compute . it did n't compute . it did n't -- my brain , like , refused it . i was looking -- i was looking down at this -- this ... this perfect , beautiful little boy . and i thought -- i thought , `` he was gon na open his eyes . he 's gon na open his eyes . he 's -- he 's ... `` `` he 's gon na move . `` `` he 's gon na breathe . `` but he did n't .

[ scene_break ] elizabeth : i know , right ? i 'm the biggest hypocrite coming down on cameron when i was a holy terror as a teenager .

[ scene_break ] stella : grief of the kind you 're facing , support helps . but it can be hard to ask for . that 's why there are special groups for parents who have lost infants , post , during , and pre - birth . people tend to think that they did n't have the baby long enough to love it . but you know better than anyone that is n't true , and so will the other members of your group . michael : hey , look , stella , um ... [ clears throat ] i really appreciate you coming here . i - i do . it 's just , uh , i 'm gon na be fine . i am . i - i - i got a handle on what happened and -- and how to move forward , so ... stella : huh . you may not look like your father , but you act just like him . so , i 'm gon na tell you a variation of what i told sonny . grief does n't exist on anyone 's timetable . it 's insidious , waiting , and if you do n't deal with it , it can ambush you when you least expect it . between you and me , i 've had some losses in my life that i 'm still dealing with . so , be aware , from one grieving person to another ... you wo n't see the traps that are right in front of you till you step in them . take these , michael . michael : [ quietly takes pamphlets ] stella : okay . and do n't throw them in the trash when i walk out the door . michael : [ normal voice ] i 'll wait five minutes . how 's that ? stella : [ chuckles ] you have my number . call me . any time , day or night . michael : hey , stella ? stella : yes ? michael : take care . stella : you , too , michael . [ scene_break ] sam : you know the night of the earthquake ... [ sighs ] jason and i , we almost died , and ... that was it , kristina . i - i - i could n't hide it anymore . i told him i - i loved him , i always have , i always will , and that i knew it was him all along . kristina : and drew ? sam : i had to tell him the truth , too , obviously . kristina : that must have been a heavy conversation . sam : [ chuckles ] you have no idea . but i did it . i said it . i - i said the words , i put it out there , and ... drew , you know , he -- he could n't live with it , not that i blame him . so ... he left me . kristina : wait , it was drew 's choice to end things ? sam : yeah , and it was -- it was the right decision . kristina : must have been . you seem really strong . i mean , more than that . you seem free . sam : `` free `` ? wow . [ chuckles ] probably because i can ... [ inhales deeply ] i can breathe again , and i 've got to say , it feels pretty good . [ scene_break ] carly : there 's nothing wrong with you . josslyn : how can you say that ? carly : because nelle is the one to blame . she used that kidney transplant to mess with your head . she acted like it was a gift , and it was n't . josslyn : well , she saved my life . carly : oh , my god , no , your father saved your life ! and we can debate till the cows come in whether jax was morally correct , but that 's not your responsibility . jax took that from you because he loves you . josslyn : yes , i know all that . but what nelle 's dad did to her -- carly : was terrible and awful , but that is not your problem . that is between nelle and frank , and i am so sorry that she made you feel like you owed her because you do not owe her , okay ? none of us do . josslyn : yeah , but you were grateful in the beginning . carly : yes , because i thought nelle was an innocent , kind person . but she snowed me , and she snowed michael , too . i want you to stop feeling like you should 've known better . josslyn : well , you did . might have taken you a second to get there , but , yeah , you figured it out , and so did michael . carly : baby , you 're barely 15 . and nelle showed you nothing but kindness . why would you believe anything else ? josslyn : because you told me ! carly : and nelle insisted the exact opposite . look , she 's a master manipulator , and nelle is sick . she 's ill . she 's a sociopath who tried to kill your brother . josslyn : and i chose her over you . why do n't you hate me ? [ scene_break ] sam : do i miss having a partner ? yes , i do . but , to be honest , working on who i am and what i want ... it 's worth it . kristina : so , that 's what you think i should do ? sam : i do n't know . is that what you need to do ? what 's going on with you and parker ? kristina : parker 's great . i mean , she got a guest professor spot in the english department at u of o , and they 're happy with her work , the students love her . she 'll be there for at least another year , and she may even get a chance at tenure . sam : okay . i was talking about your relationship . kristina : there 's nothing wrong with our relationship . parker 's been really supportive , and we have a lot of fun together . [ sighs ] it 's just that she 's a professor . she has a life , and ... i just feel like i 'm drifting . [ scene_break ] terry : not that i would know , but i hear being the perfect one comes with its own stresses . elizabeth : i know . i know , and i 've given it a lot of thought . i have . i 've spent a lot of time with jake because of his issues , and aiden -- aiden 's the baby of the family , and he 's super high - maintenance and gets into everything . terry : so , the most like you . elizabeth : [ chuckles ] exactly , yeah . but i 've given those two the bulk of my attention because they needed it , and with cameron , i just never had to do that . he 's always on top of his studies , and he knows what needs to be done , and he just does it . terry : no nagging required . elizabeth : he 's just a kid . it 's not fair . he deserves as much attention as his brothers . terry : you 're a wonderful mother , elizabeth . and i 'm sure cameron would be the first to say it . elizabeth : maybe after he gets his phone back . terry : okay , yeah , do n't ask until then . elizabeth : [ laughs ] [ scene_break ] carly : there is nothing you could ever do to make me stop loving you . i could be sad and disappointed about some of the choices or decisions you make , upset because i was n't there to guide you . i could never stop loving you . just like you could never stop loving me . josslyn : if you thought that for even a second -- carly : i did n't . josslyn : you promise ? carly : i promise . promise . [ laughs ] honey , people say that we 're so much alike , you know ? you have my fire and determination , killer good looks . [ chuckles ] but there 's one crucial difference . it was a long time in my life before i had unconditional love . did n't happen for me till i was in my 20s . josslyn : with jason ? carly : yeah . he was the first . and then after that , i felt it again , you know , with my mom and sonny and your dad . it 's having this incredible feeling of security . like , you could mess up big - time ... [ chuckles ] and those people are n't going to leave . and you had that kind of security your whole life , that unwavering support . and i do n't mean enabling or looking the other way when you do something destructive . i mean knowing that you are there . i do n't love you because you have my back or because you 're my biggest champion . i love you because you 're you . just like i know you love me because i 'm me . josslyn : [ sniffles ] [ tearfully ] i missed you so much . carly : [ softly ] i missed you , too . josslyn : [ sniffles ] carly : [ sighs ] [ scene_break ] sonny : i never had a problem eliminating a legitimate threat . jason : it is a necessary part of the business . sonny : yeah , i - i understood that . but the funny thing is that out of everything , right , what comes back to bite me , i thought it would be , like , a decision i made ... something i did because of my own ambition . i would never have thought that it would be an order from joe scully . jason : we just have to make sure ... that does n't happen . okay ? that one way or another , that body never resurfaces . sonny : so , you 're saying we got -- we -- we -- we got a lot of options . jason : always . we always do . sonny : all right . jason : [ cellphone vibrates ] oh , man , i told sam that i 'd meet with her . sonny : yeah , go . go . jason : you 'll let me know if you need anything , right ? sonny : you know i will . jason : we 're gon na handle this . [ scene_break ] margaux : so , sonny wants to buy this place ? what 's so interesting about charlie 's pub ? i -- sorry . no offense or anything . it is a great place . i just would n't say that it 's in sonny 's wheelhouse . kim : um , well , sonny 's father has alzheimer 's , and charlie 's pub is meaningful to him . it has a history , so he wanted to buy it for him . margaux : like a gift ? julian : yeah , like a gift he wo n't remember . kim : julian ! julian : ohh ! did you hear that ? she called me julian . she never calls me julian . i must be in trouble . kim : okay , but not every gesture the man makes has to lead to something sinister . margaux : maybe not . but let 's be real , most of them do . [ scene_break ] jordan : stella 's never gon na like me , and i ca n't have someone at our wedding who 's secretly wishing that you were marrying someone else . curtis : so , what do we do ? jordan : we take a stand . i do n't want her there . curtis : baby jordan : i do n't . no . i 'm -- i am done tip - toeing around aunt stella . i just want our wedding day to be the best day of our lives , baby . do n't you want that , too ? curtis : you know i do . jordan : then tell your aunt that she ca n't come . [ scene_break ] elizabeth : i think i need to carve out a little time for me and cameron to just talk . just the two of us , no distractions about life and school , friends , girls ... terry : so , basically his worst nightmare ? elizabeth : [ chuckles ] i just do n't want him to feel invisible . terry : he wo n't . elizabeth : how do you know ? terry : because of this very conversation . you 're concerned about your son 's behavior , you 've pinpointed a probable cause , and now you 're brainstorming ways to make it better . that 's a parent , biz . and a damn good one . [ scene_break ] josslyn : i just missed talking to you . carly : i missed talking to you , too . josslyn : i even missed fighting with you . carly : [ laughs ] oh , really ? there 's a first . what , did you miss having me around , policing how short your skirts are ? josslyn : yeah , actually . at least then i knew where you stood . i could take your opinion and weigh it against mine , but not knowing what you thought ... i felt ... carly : lost . josslyn : more than anything , i wanted that to stop . carly : baby . [ sighs ] josslyn : [ sniffles ] carly : is that when you started , um , shoplifting ? i get -- i get that , you know , the during was the rush . realizing that you were n't caught . but , you know , there was emptiness afterwards , was n't there ? josslyn : totally . you know , you 're sitting there with the shirt , and you 're like , `` what is this ? `` `` why did i just do that ? `` i do n't know . everything else in my life was just spinning out of control . i thought , maybe this , i can regain some more control over my life , but ... i do n't know . i thought it 'd make things better . carly : it was n't the answer . josslyn : [ quietly ] i know . [ normal voice ] i mean , if it helps , i have n't done it since you got back . carly : that helps . helps a lot . josslyn : i just did n't know where to put the clothes . carly : i can tell you where you 're gon na put the clothes . you 're going to take back every item , and you 're going to admit what happened . i 'm going to compensate the vendor for each item , and you 're gon na pay me back with the money you 've made from lila 's kids . and if that 's not enough , you 're gon na bus tables at the metro court until you pay me back . josslyn : so , there is n't like , a `` forget it all happened `` option ? carly : oh , no . we 're going to start first thing in the morning . [ scoffs ] you wanted me back . i 'm back ! josslyn : [ softly ] thank god . carly : [ laughs ] josslyn : [ sighs ] [ scene_break ] michael : [ sighs ] kristina : michael ? michael : kristina ? hey . i did n't know you were , uh ... kristina : well , i had to come see you . i 'm sorry . i 'm so , so sorry . [ scene_break ] kim : do n't let the d.a . talk you into picking a fight with sonny . [ sighs ] okay , charlie ? because you know where that 'll end . you 'll be going back to the mob , and i ... i 'll be gone . julian : is that a threat ? kim : no , it 's not a threat . it 's just the truth . look , i 've been honest with you from the beginning . julian : [ sighs ] kim : look ... babe , we are -- we are in such a good place right now . i mean , we are going towards an even better place , i hope . and i would just really , really hate for us to miss out on that opportunity . julian : yeah . me , too . kim : you know , and then i 'd have to go somewhere else for my cortados . that would be such a pain . julian : yeah , well , that 's because they would n't be nearly as good . kim : no , they would n't be . julian : mm - hmm . kim : so , we on the same page ? julian : mm - hmm . kim : mm - hmm . good . [ scene_break ] stella : is that what you want , curtis ? you 'd prefer i not attend your wedding ? curtis : no , of course not , aunt stella . but i got to say , you 're not giving us much choice with that nonsense you pulled with chandra . stella : i owned up to my mistake . what else do you want from me ? jordan : oh , i think it 's a little late for apologies now . do n't you think ? i mean , how am i supposed to trust a word that comes out of your mouth yet again ? stella : i do n't know , jordan . how am i supposed to trust that you wo n't cheat on your husband yet again ? jordan : that 's it , i 'm done . i 'm good . i 'm done . curtis : look , look , look , listen . listen . no one 's going anywhere until we figure this out .

atone for your past sins , for goodness sake ? is that it , huh ? you think that she 's gon na come back to you no matter what happens ? i mean , if you do something honorable in your life . what is this ? taylor : i do n't think ej knew that that man was going to hurt mom . nicole : you are unbelievable . taylor : what ? nicole : you 're buying it . you 're buying the whole `` i did n't kill myself so i 'm not responsible `` act from ej . taylor : okay , i did not say that . nicole : then what did you say , please ? taylor : look , what i 'm having an issue with , what i 'm reacting to right now , nic , is that the man who did kill mom is n't going to go to prison . i 'm not saying ej is blameless . i 'm not saying it 's okay what he did . nicole : okay , fine . but that man pretended to be rafe and did god only knows what to sami all that time , on ej 's orders . so ej does n't have to pay for that ? brady : not to mention ej let his kids be in that apartment with that creep the whole time . nicole : ej betrayed me . he betrayed you . and he put i do n't know how many lives at stake before mom got in the way and lost hers . so ej does n't deserve to be punished because he did n't have his hand on mom 's back on the top of the stairs when she was pushed down ? taylor : i am not saying that . okay , i just do n't think it 's right that that imposter gets to go free . nicole : no . you 're having second thoughts about giving up the love of your life . listen to me . that imposter will probably cut a deal with the cops . and if he does , then ej and stefano go to jail for good . and that 's suddenly making you feel some kind of forgetful . brady : ladies ... not that anybody asked me , but all this bickering and sniping you 're doing is n't gon na make any difference . rafe : sami , come on . come on . really , sophia was undercover , that 's why i did n't tell you about it . and when she was n't undercover anymore , i told you . and ... uh , listen , i know that her personality is a little bit outgoing . sami : [ scoffs ] you think ? rafe : well , that 's just the way she is . what ? sami : i would 've described her more as being obnoxiously flirtatious , but that 's just because she was flirting with my husband right in front of me . rafe : she was n't flirting with me , she 's just ... she was happy to see me , sami . i mean , she was the same way with dario . sami : yeah , yeah . right . mucho gusto , rafa . rafe : sami . sami : rafa . rafe : sa -- would you -- okay , listen . we were co - workers and we were friends . that 's it . sami : okay . okay , so at what point in the friendship did she think it was appropriate to talk to you about what kind of husband and father you would make ? rafe : i do n't even remember that conversation . sami : she sure does . rafe : well , obviously it meant more to her than it does to me . sami : okay , well then why did you act like you remembered it ? rafe : because . what was i supposed to say ? huh ? `` sophia , i do n't remember that , `` or `` you 're making that up . `` come on . sami . sami : well , i mean , i think she also remembered your reaction , right ? does n't she remember that you laughed when she said that ? rafe : okay , whatever ... my reaction was , whatever i said to her or did n't say , i do n't know . it was a long time ago , all right ? sami : rafe , she obviously had a major thing for you . rafe : okay , maybe she did . maybe she did n't . i do n't know . it does n't matter . but like i said before , we were friends and that 's it . all right ? you do n't believe me . sami : no , i do . rafe : no , you do n't . look at you , look at -- the look on your face , i can tell you do n't believe me . sami , come on . it was a long time ago . nothing happened . and even -- it did n't , but even if it did , would it matter ? i mean , i did n't even know you then . but i 'm telling you we were just friends , that 's it . sami : okay . okay , you were just friends . look , i get it , okay . i see why she 's interested in you . look at you , you 're b -- you 're you . and obviously , i do n't blame her . i mean , i just ca n't help but be suspicious that she 's gon na try to steal you from me because that 's what i would do if i were her . rafe : oh , my god . look at you . you ... are the cutest thing in the whole world , you know that ? i love you so much . i love you more than anything , and everything . and nothing is ever gon na change that . i promise . okay ? hmm ? all right ? abe : now i give a statement to the press . lexie : are you sure you 're ready for the inevitable conflict of interest questions ? abe : i 'm an old hand at it by now . lexie : [ sighs ] good luck . ah . mr. district attorney . d.a . woods : interesting day for you , is n't it ? lexie : i am not gon na get into that with you . d.a . woods : this is not gon na go away after the rest are made , you know ? lexie : sorry ? d.a . woods : the fact that your husband is putting his brother - in - law and father - in - law in prison could prove tricky come next election day . lexie : [ scoffs , sigh ] you wan na know what i 'm thinking ? d.a . woods : sure , why not ? lexie : i 'm thinking ... that the boy you raised is about to lose his father and his brother . chad 's already lost his mother . so maybe just once you could show him a little decency and be there for him . d.a . woods : go to hell . stefano : you 're working on your legal defense . ej : hmm ? yeah , no , sorry . i might finally put that law degree to some good use . stefano : you have a plan . all right . you know , if those two cops out there had anything on us , we would not be standing here . and our former employee has not confessed , and perhaps ... he never will . nicole : taylor , what are you gon na do ? taylor : whatever i can . look , i am going to go down to the station and i am going to protest their decision to set our mother 's killer free . nicole : wait , wait , wait , if you do that , if you try to stop what the cops are doing , then ej and stefano will get away with murder . taylor : devil 's bargain . right ? nicole : taylor , do n't . stop , do n't you ! taylor : no , no , no , no , no . brady : let her go . let her go . my doctor told me calcium brady : sorry . nicole : she came to me . this morning , after she found out the truth about ej . and she said she hated him . [ chuckles ] brady : sit . well , nic , you know about that thin line between love and hate . nicole : yes . brady , i do . brady : mm . nicole : but she wanted him to pay . she even blamed him for our mother 's death . but now she 's all fired up about the double being in jail , knowing full well that if he stays in there then ej and stefano will be free again . brady : listen , taylor ca n't change what 's already been set in motion , nicole . ej ca n't change it , i ca n't , you ca n't ... what 's done is done . go ahead , let your sister raise holy hell , it 's not gon na make one damn bit of difference . rafe : well , sami , there are reams of paperwork going back and forth between the d.a .

[ chuckles ] stefano : have you lost your mind , elvis ? ej : what do you want me to do , huh ? let marco shoot them ? stefano : you know , i just do n't know what 's going on with you . what are you trying to do , huh ? atone for your past sins , for goodness sake ? is that it , huh ? you think that she 's gon na come back to you no matter what happens ? i mean , if you do something honorable in your life . what is this ? taylor : i do n't think ej knew that that man was going to hurt mom . nicole : you are unbelievable . taylor : what ? nicole : you 're buying it . you 're buying the whole `` i did n't kill myself so i 'm not responsible `` act from ej . taylor : okay , i did not say that . nicole : then what did you say , please ? taylor : look , what i 'm having an issue with , what i 'm reacting to right now , nic , is that the man who did kill mom is n't going to go to prison . i 'm not saying ej is blameless . i 'm not saying it 's okay what he did . nicole : okay , fine . but that man pretended to be rafe and did god only knows what to sami all that time , on ej 's orders . so ej does n't have to pay for that ? brady : not to mention ej let his kids be in that apartment with that creep the whole time . nicole : ej betrayed me . he betrayed you . and he put i do n't know how many lives at stake before mom got in the way and lost hers . so ej does n't deserve to be punished because he did n't have his hand on mom 's back on the top of the stairs when she was pushed down ? taylor : i am not saying that . okay , i just do n't think it 's right that that imposter gets to go free . nicole : no . you 're having second thoughts about giving up the love of your life . listen to me . that imposter will probably cut a deal with the cops . and if he does , then ej and stefano go to jail for good . and that 's suddenly making you feel some kind of forgetful . brady : ladies ... not that anybody asked me , but all this bickering and sniping you 're doing is n't gon na make any difference . rafe : sami , come on . come on . really , sophia was undercover , that 's why i did n't tell you about it . and when she was n't undercover anymore , i told you . and ... uh , listen , i know that her personality is a little bit outgoing . sami : [ scoffs ] you think ? rafe : well , that 's just the way she is . what ? sami : i would 've described her more as being obnoxiously flirtatious , but that 's just because she was flirting with my husband right in front of me . rafe : she was n't flirting with me , she 's just ... she was happy to see me , sami . i mean , she was the same way with dario . sami : yeah , yeah . right . mucho gusto , rafa . rafe : sami . sami : rafa . rafe : sa -- would you -- okay , listen . we were co - workers and we were friends . that 's it . sami : okay . okay , so at what point in the friendship did she think it was appropriate to talk to you about what kind of husband and father you would make ? rafe : i do n't even remember that conversation . sami : she sure does . rafe : well , obviously it meant more to her than it does to me . sami : okay , well then why did you act like you remembered it ? rafe : because . what was i supposed to say ? huh ? `` sophia , i do n't remember that , `` or `` you 're making that up . `` come on . sami . sami : well , i mean , i think she also remembered your reaction , right ? does n't she remember that you laughed when she said that ? rafe : okay , whatever ... my reaction was , whatever i said to her or did n't say , i do n't know . it was a long time ago , all right ? sami : rafe , she obviously had a major thing for you . rafe : okay , maybe she did . maybe she did n't . i do n't know . it does n't matter . but like i said before , we were friends and that 's it . all right ? you do n't believe me . sami : no , i do . rafe : no , you do n't . look at you , look at -- the look on your face , i can tell you do n't believe me . sami , come on . it was a long time ago . nothing happened . and even -- it did n't , but even if it did , would it matter ? i mean , i did n't even know you then . but i 'm telling you we were just friends , that 's it . sami : okay . okay , you were just friends . look , i get it , okay . i see why she 's interested in you . look at you , you 're b -- you 're you . and obviously , i do n't blame her . i mean , i just ca n't help but be suspicious that she 's gon na try to steal you from me because that 's what i would do if i were her . rafe : oh , my god . look at you . you ... are the cutest thing in the whole world , you know that ? i love you so much . i love you more than anything , and everything . and nothing is ever gon na change that . i promise . okay ? hmm ? all right ? abe : now i give a statement to the press . lexie : are you sure you 're ready for the inevitable conflict of interest questions ? abe : i 'm an old hand at it by now . lexie : [ sighs ] good luck . ah . mr. district attorney . d.a . woods : interesting day for you , is n't it ? lexie : i am not gon na get into that with you . d.a . woods : this is not gon na go away after the rest are made , you know ? lexie : sorry ? d.a . woods : the fact that your husband is putting his brother - in - law and father - in - law in prison could prove tricky come next election day . lexie : [ scoffs , sigh ] you wan na know what i 'm thinking ? d.a . woods : sure , why not ? lexie : i 'm thinking ... that the boy you raised is about to lose his father and his brother . chad 's already lost his mother . so maybe just once you could show him a little decency and be there for him . d.a . woods : go to hell . stefano : you 're working on your legal defense . ej : hmm ? yeah , no , sorry . i might finally put that law degree to some good use . stefano : you have a plan . all right . you know , if those two cops out there had anything on us , we would not be standing here . and our former employee has not confessed , and perhaps ... he never will . nicole : taylor , what are you gon na do ? taylor : whatever i can . look , i am going to go down to the station and i am going to protest their decision to set our mother 's killer free . nicole : wait , wait , wait , if you do that , if you try to stop what the cops are doing , then ej and stefano will get away with murder . taylor : devil 's bargain . right ? nicole : taylor , do n't . stop , do n't you ! taylor : no , no , no , no , no . brady : let her go . let her go . my doctor told me calcium brady : sorry . nicole : she came to me . this morning , after she found out the truth about ej . and she said she hated him . [ chuckles ] brady : sit . well , nic , you know about that thin line between love and hate . nicole : yes . brady , i do . brady : mm . nicole : but she wanted him to pay . she even blamed him for our mother 's death . but now she 's all fired up about the double being in jail , knowing full well that if he stays in there then ej and stefano will be free again . brady : listen , taylor ca n't change what 's already been set in motion , nicole . ej ca n't change it , i ca n't , you ca n't ... what 's done is done . go ahead , let your sister raise holy hell , it 's not gon na make one damn bit of difference . rafe : well , sami , there are reams of paperwork going back and forth between the d.a .

[ door opens ] chelsea : oh , hey ! so , chloe and i just had the best meeting . i do n't know who 's more excited about resurrecting my line , her or me . i mean , we have all these ideas and definitely a ton of work to do , but , you know , pr and all these different things ... adam . you okay ? adam : hm ? chelsea : what are you thinking about ? kansas ? adam : look , i 've been thinking about something you said on our flight home . you asked me whether my mom or cliff had borrowed money from aj montalvo ... and maybe that would explain why she decided to skip the funeral . chelsea : had she ? adam : not as far as i know . but , then again , i was a kid at the time , so i would n't have been privy to discussions like that about something like that with cliff and my mom . chelsea : right . it really makes you wonder . adam : it 's just -- it would help fill in some of the blanks , you know ? chelsea : is that what you 've been doing all day , wondering ? adam : actually , i got in touch with an old friend who works at the bank back home , and she was able to help me get access to mom and cliff 's archive records . chelsea : really ? they were digitized ? adam : mm - hmm , and it turns out , my stepfather was in some pretty severe financial trouble in the year in question , and then suddenly he was n't after a large deposit was dropped into his account . chelsea : hmm . adam : mm - hmm . chelsea : paying for a crop , or something ? adam : no . it was not the right time of year . chelsea : uh , would cliff have asked aj for money ? adam : i do n't know . i ca n't be certain by the bank records , but it could be one possible explanation . chelsea : does it look like cliff was able to pay back the money ? adam : for a while , there was regular cash withdrawals , which could have been loan payments , and there was big business expenses . and when the money ran out , the loan payments , if that 's what they were ... they stopped . chelsea : sure that would n't make aj very happy . adam : no , i do n't believe it would . chelsea : so , wait , i mean , if hope and cliff were in trouble , would n't they have reached out to victor for help ? adam : my guess is cliff would have been too proud to tell my mother what was really going on . and even if he was going to humble himself enough to go to victor for help ... you know , it might have been too late . chelsea : do you think this wreck that cliff was in was n't really an accident ? additional sponsorship phyllis : okay , well , who are you trying to track down ? deadbeat client ? long- lost love ? who ? amanda : no , no , nothing that dramatic . just someone who is taken on a little too much . i want to make sure he 's okay . phyllis : all right , how long is this someone been missing ? amanda : a couple days . ugh , i should n't even use that word . he 's probably just crashing at a friend 's house and he does n't want to be crowded . so if i go and i hire an investigator , at this point , it would be overkill . so , yeah , i 'm going to wait and hopefully he 'll show up , and then i can breathe easier . phyllis : yeah . hey , listen , you been in worry mode for a really long time . everything that 's gone on with you , it 's enough to rattle anyone . so i get it . amanda : yeah , i guess you 're right . phyllis : but , you know what , that 's in the past , and you need to savor the moment . you have a lot to look forward to . amanda : thank you , phyllis . that 's really good advice . phyllis : yes , it is good advice . you want to show me how much you appreciate that advice ? amanda : how ? phyllis : by having a cocktail with me . it 's on me . amanda : all right . i accept . phyllis : great . good . um , i 'm just gon na -- i 'm going to go -- i 'm gon na head upstairs and drop off some of this stuff . all right ? i 'll see you in a bit . phyllis : all right . adam : my mind is being conjuring up some pretty dark scenarios . chelsea : i ca n't say that surprises me . adam : it 's just -- there 's no hard evidence to support them yet . but as far as i 'm concerned , nothing is outside the realm of possibility . chelsea : well , this is victor we 're talking about . i mean , what are -- what are your instincts telling you ? adam : if cliff borrowed money from aj and he could not pay it back , then aj would not be above threatening him or making an example out of him . at least that 's always been my impression of loan sharks operate . chelsea : well , that part makes sense , but are you actually insinuating aj arranged for the car wreck that killed your stepfather ? i mean , that 's just really out there . adam : maybe . maybe not . chelsea : and did n't you tell me that the man died on the scene , the one who caused the crash and he had high blood alcohol content ? i mean , you ca n't plan that . adam : i do recall that the driver knew aj . in fact , i 'm pretty sure that he worked with the guy . so that is another piece to the puzzle . chelsea : okay , well , let 's just -- let 's just think this through . adam : look , i know this is a lot , and i have the same questions and the same doubts that you do . chelsea : yeah . adam : but just let 's set all that aside and just picture the scene . victor comes back to town . he sees cliff in the hospital battling for his life . he 's got his ex - wife and his young son , devastated . now , granted , i 'm speculating . but what if victor learned from cliff that aj was behind it all ? hmm ? chelsea : hmm . victor would have been furious with aj and he would have wanted to keep you and hope safe from him . so aj goes to jail , problem solved . adam : mnh - mnh . for a while . what if aj came after my mother to get the money he was owed after he was released ? could be a coincidence . aj dies in an accident when victor 's there visiting my mother . then again , maybe not . chelsea : the bottom line is , i mean , you 're not gon na really prove any of this or disprove any of this . adam : well , i 'm not the one that 's gon na do that . alyssa is on her way here as we speak . chelsea : aj 's daughter ? you 're getting her involved in this ? victoria : thank you for coming to see me and putting my parents ' minds at ease . nate : not a problem . victoria : well , if you 'll excuse me , i 'd like to go make something to eat . nate : if you have any questions or concerns before our next visit ... victoria : oh , i 'll be in touch , do n't worry . victor : okay , sweetheart . nikki : victor and i really appreciate the house call . nate : my pleasure . nikki : when victoria got home from the office , she just seemed so exhausted . victor : she seems to be doing better . nikki : i do n't know . i think that may have been for your benefit because she does n't want to let you down . victor : mm . you think she was putting on a show for us ? nate : well , you can see for yourself , she 's doing well , physically . i 'll keep an eye on her fatigue , but that may have an emotional component to it , which is n't my area of expertise . nikki : understood . nate : would victoria considered going back to see her therapist to work through the trauma she experienced ? nikki : she has been talking to sharon , unofficially , but she said today that she would be willing to see her for actual counseling sessions . victor : wait a minute . what does sharon have to do with any of this ? she 's barely out of school . if we go down that road , she needs to see a shrink , a real shrink . nate : it would be up to victoria to let us know what 's working and what isn't . however , she 's not likely to be honest about that unless she believes you are open to hearing what she has to say . victor : [ inhales deeply ] i 'm phil mickelson . nikki : i 've been thinking about ways that we can help victoria get past this terrible incident . victor : mm . what have you come up with ? nikki : well , what if we sent her someplace restful , like a spa ? you know , warmer weather , ocean breeze . it could do her a world of good . victor : mm . somehow , i do n't think that 's a good idea . nikki : darling , you did n't see her at the office today . i did . i mean , that used to be the place where she felt most confident . and i think that 's why she was determined to go back there today , to feel that again . but that is not what happened . i mean , it did n't energize her , it drained her . i could see in her eyes and her body language how overwhelmed she was . victor : huh . she probably just pushed herself too hard , you know ? that does n't mean that going away is the solution . victoria : who 's talking about sending me away ? victor : sweetheart , your father and i were just discussing whether you might want a change of scenery . i mean , you 've been cooped up here for so long . victoria : i can only imagine how nick might feel -- he 's busting his butt , trying to fill in for me at newman while i 'm swinging in some hammock , sipping a mai tai ? nikki : victoria , you should never feel guilty for taking the time to heal . victoria : i do n't feel guilty . that 's not what i 'm saying . i just -- i 'm anxious to get back where i belong so that nicholas can reclaim his life and so that you guys can stop worrying about me . i really do n't want to talk about this . i 'm tired . victor : okay , sweetheart . do n't -- do n't get upset . okay ? adam : thank you so much for flying in on the spur - of - the - moment like this . alyssa : well , when you dangle that giant scoop in front of me , how could i resist ? adam : can i get you something to drink ? alyssa : no , i 'd rather get to work . adam : okay . have a seat . alyssa : mind if i take notes ? adam : no , not at all . no laptop ? alyssa : when it comes to reporting , i 'm old - school . we could have even have done this over the phone . adam : ah . i am old - school myself . i learned in my wall street days that face- to - face meetings are usually more productive . alyssa : so , tell me about this potential white - collar crime network stretching from here all the way to kansas . you said you have a high - level source who 's willing to be interviewed ? adam ? adam : what ? oh , i 'm -- alyssa , i am so sorry . i 'm just -- i 'm a little distracted today , so ... alyssa : because of our meeting ? adam : actually , was another story that you mentioned . it was , um ... the one that got away about your dad . i mean , how serious were you about pursuing that ? alyssa : it bothers me not knowing who my father really was , why he made the choices he did . adam : well , it might bother you even more if you were to look into it and find something unpleasant . alyssa : is that the real reason you invited me here ? do you know something ? adam : it is nothing solid . it 's just -- it 's a lot of dots that i 'm not even sure can be connected . alyssa : give it a whirl . adam : look , i 've gone back and forth for two days on whether i should share this or not , so ... alyssa : i 'm a reporter . not much surprises me . adam : but we are talking about your dad . alyssa : not much would surprise me about him , either . vic ... i know we have n't been in touch since we graduated high school , but i want you to feel comfortable sharing your thoughts with me . anything you think could be useful . you want to keep this in the vault , make your name stay out of it , i can do that . whatever works for you . adam : i mean , i trust you , alyssa . alyssa : just be straightforward . get whatever this is off your chest . adam : okay . okay . it 's like this . i did some research into my mother 's financial records . you know , she was kind of lady that would never throw away a canceled check or a bank statement . alyssa : it 's that generation , pack rats , never know when you might need fill- in - the - blank . so , what did you find ? adam : well , as it turns out , my stepfather , cliff wilson -- he was in some pretty dire straights , money - wise . and he might have gone to your father for a loan without telling my mother about it . i mean , maybe that 's not news to you . alyssa : i mean , i 've never been able to track down aj 's financial records , if they even exist . aside from rumors , i do n't know who he lent money to . adam : got it . alyssa : finding out that he targeted my good friend 's father would be depressing , but not that shocking . what time frame are we talking ? adam : it was shortly before cliff got in that car wreck , the one that i 'm pretty sure was caused by the man that worked for aj . alyssa : [ scoffs ] wait . i hope you 're not suggesting that my father had something to do with that accident . adam : look , i knew that this idea would upset you , okay ? alyssa : well , of course it would upset me . adam : like i said , there 's just a lot of dots that may or may not be connected . alyssa : they most certainly are not . phyllis : to us and our amazing careers and to this incredibly productive new phase that we are both entering . [ squeals ] amanda : okay , okay . you 're right , that was definitely worth drinking to . phyllis : cheers . [ giggles ] amanda : cheers . amanda : mm . phyllis : oh , my gosh . so things are probably picking up for you now that everybody knows that you were n't involved in colin 's scheme . amanda : yes , um , a lot of potential clients . they have contacted me . they want to sit down and have a meeting . it 's devon . devon has been kindly steering people in my direction . phyllis : that 's great . he 's one of the good guys , amanda : so it seems . phyllis : so that all worked out , right ? are you going to open a new office in town ? amanda : um , i 'm actually reconsidering that plan . phyllis : why 's that ? amanda : oh , opening a new law practice from scratch ? it is a huge undertaking . so i thought maybe i 'll go and work for somebody else 's in - house counsel . phyllis : mm . amanda : it 's less risky . and who knows ? i might even end up with a life . that would be something , phyllis : a social life . amanda : i know . phyllis : oh , my goodness . so , who is the person who sparked this motivation , huh ? amanda : uh ... phyllis : could it be that super - hot doctor , dr . nate hastings ? 'cause i saw there was , like , a spark between the two of you . amanda : i do n't know . i do n't know what you saw , but it is not what you 're thinking . phyllis : oh , really ? all right . so , what is it ? amanda : i do n't know , phyllis . would you tell me ? because i 've never heard you mention any of the men in your life , and i am sure that there is at least one . [ laughing ] oh ! oh , i knew it . okay , come on . spill . who is he ? what 's his name ? nick : all right . thanks for joining me . we got a lot accomplished here . [ sighs ] okay . chelsea : hey there . nick : hey . chelsea : what ? oh , come on . you do n't think i 'm actually trying to spy on you ? nick : it 's just habit . although i am on red alert . i know adam 's up to something . chelsea : if you say so . nick : you really do n't know what i 'm talking about , do you ? chelsea : what has he done to make you suspicious ? nick : [ sighs ] did you know adam showed up to the ranch last night , uninvited ? chelsea : i know he wanted to talk to victor about his mom 's farm . we were just there , and it 's gotten really run down . adam did n't want to show connor how upset he was , but it was hard on him seeing how bad it looked . nick : yeah , then he , uh , gave me a pat on the back for the job i 'm doing at newman . claimed dad made the right call at picking me to lead the company over him . chelsea : gee , nick , i can see how that would offend you . nick : it 's suspicious as hell . i 'm surprised you do n't see that . chelsea : why ca n't you just trust that adam actually just wants peace ? nick : because i know him , chelsea . chelsea : and i think i know him a little better . nick : oh , you absolutely do . i know you realize how warped and twisted he is , but for whatever reason does n't seem to faze you . adam : look , believe me , i understand how you feel . i mean , my own father has done things that i 've been hard for me to accept , and there 's been times i 've been ashamed to be his son . and i apologize for springing this on you years after the fact . but you are the one that wanted answers . alyssa : no , you have no answers . this is nothing but wild speculation . character assassination . i want no part of it . adam : okay , alyssa , please do n't go . there 's more , if you would just hear me out . alyssa : do you have facts , data ? any actual solid evidence of a crime of any kind ? i did n't think so . `` the young and the restless `` will continue . hy - a - lur - onic acid . phyllis : you want to jump to conclusions about my personal life , you go ahead . i 'm just gon na drink my drink . amanda : oh , come on ! i know a cheshire cat grin when i see one . phyllis : [ giggles ] i plead the fifth . amanda : oh , come on . okay , well , you do know that that only makes me more curious , right ? phyllis : yeah . yeah , i 'm sure it does . i 'm just having fun . amanda : playing the field ? hmm ? phyllis : um ... [ sighs ] oh , gosh , it 's been so hard for so long . really , i 'm happy right now . i 'm happy . phyllis has finally risen from the ashes . amanda : which is fitting since you named the hotel the grand phoenix . phyllis : the grand phoenix . i know . and it took a lot longer than i thought it would , but it was worth every bit of effort that i put into it . amanda : well , i 'm delighted for you . phyllis : thank you . i 'm delighted for me . [ giggles ] amanda : okay , so , a stunning hotel for you to manage as you see fit .... phyllis : mm - hmm . amanda : a possible male companion to keep you amused in your off hours . so what 's next ? what 's next on your list ? phyllis : you know , i 'm just going to revel in my triumph because i 'm happy , my daughter 's happy . my friend amanda 's happy . amanda : i 'm getting there . phyllis : [ chuckles ] ah , a toast to getting there ! amanda : be it a scenic route . phyllis : yes . toast to getting there . you have to clink . it 's bad luck if you don't . amanda : this is the last toast ? phyllis : okay , yes . pinky swear . and you have to give me your pinky . [ glasses clink ] [ both giggle ] phyllis : so , you -- what are you going to do ? what kind of place do you want to work ? what kind of environment ? do you want a corporate scene or do you want to run a boutique agency , firm ? amanda : no , i do n't think that i can be too particular . i mean , i just came to town and i 've already burnt several bridges . phyllis : yeah , but devon , he -- he forgave you . amanda : true . yes , that 's very true . but i doubt that he wants to see this face in his office every day . phyllis : ah . right . i guess working for newman is out after what happened to victoria . amanda : did abby mention anything about how she 's doing ? phyllis : i think that she 's recuperating at the newman ranch . but , listen , if you had any idea about going over there and , you know , talking to her or giving her your sympathy , i 'm going to tell you from personal experience , please do not do it . the last thing any newman wants is for you to see them in a moment of weakness . victor : i did n't mean to wake you , my sweetheart . victoria : no , it 's all right . i ca n't sleep anyway . i 've got too many thoughts swirling around . victor : you know , i 've got to tell you , initially i was a little skeptical , but i think your mother 's idea of you taking a trip is not bad . victoria : dad ... victor : no , do n't dismiss it . i think it 's good for you to be away from a place where you 're constantly reminded of what happened . victoria : it 's no use trying to run from it . there 's -- i carry the reminders with me wherever i go . victor : i know what you mean , my baby . i know what you mean . chelsea : there 's nothing warped or twisted about adam offering to help out at newman . he wanted to help his family , nick . he wanted to pitch in during victoria 's crisis . i actually found a pretty decent of him , considering we knew none of you would have appreciated the gesture . nick : you done ? chelsea : you know what , adam predicted that you would call him self - serving . he predicted that victor would use him as leverage to try to get you to take the job , and what do you know ? that 's exactly what happened . you did n't want the position . you just did n't want adam to have it . all of you . you 'll always make him feel like such an outsider in his own family . how noble of you . nick : i am protecting this family against someone who has repeatedly and viciously attacked us . the last time you went after my father , it affected everyone , including your son . chelsea : well , there was plenty of blame to go around . do n't forget that . nick : i 'm just amazed at how loyal you are to this guy . it does n't matter what he does or who he hurts . you stand by him . you 're a completely different person when you 're with him . maybe this is who you were the whole time and i just did n't want to see it . chelsea : [ scoffs ] wow . okay , well ... i 'm sorry to disappoint you . nick : what is concerning to me , chelsea , is you 're going to be the one who 's gon na wind up disappointed . that 's the way it always works with adam . victoria : [ sighs ] dad , what is it gon na take for you and mom to stop worrying about me ? maybe you two should go to the spa and relax . victor : what ? you 're not gon na get rid of us that easily . victoria : that knife attack was ... terrifying . it was barely three seconds of my life , and i refused to let that change me . you -- you already think that it has , do n't you ? you see me as weak . i mean , do you think -- do you not want me to go back to newman ? victor : no , that is not what i 'm saying at all . i just want you to know that you are not alone in this . victoria : well , thank you . victor : i mean , i share your feelings . i know what it is like . people tried to kill me , tried to go after other members of our family . i know how enraging that is . victor : well , did you reach out for help when it was happening to you the same way you want me to ? victor : no , i didn't . foolishly , i dealt with it myself . but ... one instance that i kind of have lived to regret . victor : and what instance was that ? victor : my sweetheart , we are talking about you , not about me . okay ? & now , you promise -- promise that you will rely on your family . we will all help you to get better . take all the time you need to recover , okay ? come here . victoria : all right , i will . victor : okay , come here . victoria : okay , i promise . victor : come here . promise ? victoria : i promise . victor : my sweet girl . hmm ? chelsea : oh , alyssa ! hi . alyssa : hello . chelsea : it 's to good to see you again . is adam parking the car ? alyssa : no . i cut our meeting short . chelsea : oh . so he told you about his suspicions ? you must be so upset . i told him it was n't a good idea . you know what , let me -- let me buy you a drink . alyssa : stinger , please . chelsea : make it two . alyssa : [ sighs ] chelsea : i really should have stayed . maybe i could have helped adam deliver that news to you a little more delicately . alyssa : i 'm hard - pressed to imagine a delicate way to accuse my father of murder . chelsea : i know . and then to hear that maybe he was murdered himself , i .... alyssa : what ? chelsea : i mean , i know adam really does n't want to believe that his father could be capable of something like that . alyssa : adam thinks his father , victor newman , may have killed my father ? chelsea : well , is n't that what -- he did n't tell you that ? oh , my god , i 'm so sorry . he must have decided not to tell you , and then now i just blurted that out . um ... alyssa : i 'm sorry . you 're obviously confused . my father was n't murdered . chelsea : absolutely . absolutely . i guess i just -- i thought a lot of it was strange . you know , he died from that fall , but then adam found out that victor was in town at the same time . so he thought maybe those things were connected . but i 'm sure they 're not . i 'm sure they 're not . um ... i am absolutely mortified . and i , uh , wish we could just forget i said anything . alyssa : [ scoffs ] chelsea : oh , god ... um , you know what , maybe i should -- i should head home and explain to adam that i just put my foot in it . i 'm so sorry . amanda : come on ! just one little peek ... phyllis : it 's private . amanda : you 're texting a guy , admit it . phyllis : i mean ... if you insist , yes . amanda : mm , does this guy have a name ? phyllis : you 're pushing your luck . amanda : okay , fine . what are you -- what are you saying to him ? phyllis : oh , my gosh , um ... amanda : come on ! phyllis : all i have so far is `` hi . `` amanda : oh ! okay . yeah , now i totally get why you wanted to keep that a secret . phyllis : [ giggles ] i had more , but i erased it . amanda : okay . what do you want to say to him ? phyllis : what do i want to say ? um ... i want to say , `` hey , you 're super hot . get your hot body over here and make my day . `` amanda : that 's cute . phyllis : it 's cute ? amanda : yes ! it 's perfect . phyllis : what ? i ca n't say that . i have to be more subtle . what if somebody sees it ? amanda : why ? where is he ? phyllis : at work , i 'm sure . amanda : mm . okay . phyllis : yeah ? amanda : i got it . how about this ? [ cellphone chimes ] amanda : what did he say ? phyllis : `` i 'm intrigued . later . `` amanda : okay ! no , that 's -- that 's good . nice job , nice job . no , that is good . phyllis : yeah ? amanda : yeah . mm - hmm . phyllis : okay . um ... why do n't we send nate a text ? i mean , by we i mean , you . amanda : um , nate and i are n't dating . phyllis : well , do you want to be ? amanda : no . no . i 'm not -- chasing after a guy , that is not my thing , okay ? if he -- he knows where i am if he 's interested , which i doubt that he is . phyllis : well , maybe he does n't know that you 're possibly interested . amanda : who says that i am ? phyllis : i do n't know , but ... it 's just a fun , flirty text . it 's just fun . amanda : no . no . nate and i , we do n't have that kind of relationship . phyllis : okay , if you say so . hm . amanda : hey . phyllis : mm . amanda : okay . hey . you looking for me ? nate : matter of fact , i am . amanda : really ? um , so , what 's up ? nate : jered 's been on my mind . amanda : oh , yes , um , i know . yeah , me too . nate : i decided to stop by his apartment yesterday one more time , see if he was still there . amanda : any luck ? nate : he did n't answer the door , so i went looking for his landlord , figuring he might know something . amanda : okay . good thinking . did he know where to find jered ? nate : unfortunately , yes . amanda : why `` unfortunately ? `` nate : he 's in jail . adam : how 'd it go ? chelsea : really good . adam : so i got to her , then ? chelsea : oh , yeah . oh , yeah . let 's put it this way . after talking to you , alyssa went straight to the bar to order a cocktail . adam : and at which point you let the rest slip out . chelsea : yeah . `` adam just does n't want to think that his father would be capable of such a thing . `` bam ! adam : wow , i 'm surprised you were able to say that with a straight face . we both know how far victor will go to protect his family . chelsea : well , before i left , i told alyssa that none of it was probably true , and then i really should n't have said anything , and that i was just mortified . adam : wow , you laid it on thick . chelsea : yeah . i mean , full finesse . she totally thought i was sincere . adam : no , what i meant is , i hope you were n't so convincing that she lets it go for real . chelsea : not a chance . not a chance . i did n't want it to look like we with eager ones trying to dig up dirt on victor . adam : so she will not suspect that we might use anything she finds against my father . chelsea : nope . absolutely not . adam : and you think she took the bait ? chelsea : oh , yeah . victoria : all right , dad . i 'm going to go take a shower , check on the kids . make sure they 're doing their homework . victor : you get well , okay ? victoria : all right . i love you . victor : okay , my sweet love . | nate gave victoria a check up , her physical healing was going well , but he was concerned her exhaustion might have a mental component . nikki and victor debated whether victoria should see sharon or a more experienced professional . victoria refused to let the knife attack change her life . victor urged victoria to rely on her family , and she agreed . he mentioned to victoria that he 'd once done something he regretted after someone went after him or someone in his family . adam told chelsea his theory that cliff borrowed money from aj , who then killed him for defaulting on the loan . he speculated that victor killed aj . adam told alyssa that her father may have killed cliff . she did n't believe him . chelsea told alyssa that adam was worried victor had caused aj 's death . adam and chelsea were pleased their plan to bait alyssa into investigating victor worked . chelsea defended adam to nick . he told her adam would disappoint her . victor pulled out a file that contained old newspaper clippings about cliff and aj 's death . amanda and phyllis had cocktails . amanda was thinking about joining a law firm instead of opening her own . they talked about their love lives , and phyllis sent a text to nick asking him to come over later . he was intrigued . phyllis encouraged amanda to text nate . amanda said nate was n't interested in her , and she did n't like to chase men . nate told amanda that jered was in jail . | <s>[INST] [ previously_on ] adam : it was n't long after he got out of prison that your dad died . he fell from a barn loft . it was a freak accident . chelsea : do you think victor could have had something to do with that man 's death ? adam : i even ran into an old friend -- alyssa montalvo . victor : does n't ring a bell . nate : we just want to say , if it was n't clear , we 're here to help in any way we can . amanda : i know you guys are just trying to help this kid , but you 're being completely tone - deaf . his grandfather just died . and if we come on too strong , it 's not going to end well . victoria : i thought that if i got back to my job and back to who i was before ... obviously , i 'm not ready yet . i ca n't do this alone . i need your help . nate : blood pressure is good . how are you sleeping ? victoria : better than i have been . nate : what about your appetite ? oh , it 's -- it 's back with a vengeance . nikki : i asked need to come over and check on victoria , make sure she did n't over - exert herself . nick : that 's a good call . when she showed up here , she seemed pretty weak and vulnerable . nikki : [ sighs ] it just broke my heart . but i think she did have a breakthrough , and she was honest about her fears and asked us to help her . nick : all right , mom . keep me posted , okay ? let me know if there 's anything i can do . nikki : all right , darling . victoria : mom , you can come back in here now ! victor : well , what about me ? victoria : yes , of course . you , too , dad . would you please reassure my parents that i 'm doing better ? nate : her wound is healing well . vital signs are good . and i heard you got in a little exercise today . victoria : yeah , just like you asked me to . nate : not quite . i cleared you to take the occasional walk around the grounds , not go back to work . victoria : well , it 's not like i did any work , it was just a brief visit to check on things . nikki : well , even that was a little overly ambitious . victoria : mom , you ca n't expect me to park it here indefinitely . i am going to get back to the office , for real , very soon . i 'm going to be back in charge . victor : i love to hear that . that 's my girl . amanda : hey , you . phyllis : hey ! amanda : how 's it going ? phyllis : it 's going great . it 's going great . i just got rid of some dead weight on the payroll , so i 'm loving life right now . amanda : wow . being in charge becomes you . phyllis : i always thought so . amanda : um ... question for you . phyllis : okay . shoot . amanda : chance chancellor . phyllis : what about him ? amanda : is he still a guest here ? phyllis : yeah . why ? amanda : i have n't seen him around the lobby much . phyllis : yeah , well , he 's not hanging out in the lobby because his girlfriend is now a silent partner . amanda : i see . phyllis : what do you want with chance chancellor ? amanda : i just -- i realized that he could probably help me find somebody who 's gone missing . [ door opens ] chelsea : oh , hey ! so , chloe and i just had the best meeting . i do n't know who 's more excited about resurrecting my line , her or me . i mean , we have all these ideas and definitely a ton of work to do , but , you know , pr and all these different things ... adam . you okay ? adam : hm ? chelsea : what are you thinking about ? kansas ? adam : look , i 've been thinking about something you said on our flight home . you asked me whether my mom or cliff had borrowed money from aj montalvo ... and maybe that would explain why she decided to skip the funeral . chelsea : had she ? adam : not as far as i know . but , then again , i was a kid at the time , so i would n't have been privy to discussions like that about something like that with cliff and my mom . chelsea : right . it really makes you wonder . adam : it 's just -- it would help fill in some of the blanks , you know ? chelsea : is that what you 've been doing all day , wondering ? adam : actually , i got in touch with an old friend who works at the bank back home , and she was able to help me get access to mom and cliff 's archive records . chelsea : really ? they were digitized ? adam : mm - hmm , and it turns out , my stepfather was in some pretty severe financial trouble in the year in question , and then suddenly he was n't after a large deposit was dropped into his account . chelsea : hmm . adam : mm - hmm . chelsea : paying for a crop , or something ? adam : no . it was not the right time of year . chelsea : uh , would cliff have asked aj for money ? adam : i do n't know . i ca n't be certain by the bank records , but it could be one possible explanation . chelsea : does it look like cliff was able to pay back the money ? adam : for a while , there was regular cash withdrawals , which could have been loan payments , and there was big business expenses . and when the money ran out , the loan payments , if that 's what they were ... they stopped . chelsea : sure that would n't make aj very happy . adam : no , i do n't believe it would . chelsea : so , wait , i mean , if hope and cliff were in trouble , would n't they have reached out to victor for help ? adam : my guess is cliff would have been too proud to tell my mother what was really going on . and even if he was going to humble himself enough to go to victor for help ... you know , it might have been too late . chelsea : do you think this wreck that cliff was in was n't really an accident ? additional sponsorship phyllis : okay , well , who are you trying to track down ? deadbeat client ? long- lost love ? who ? amanda : no , no , nothing that dramatic . just someone who is taken on a little too much . i want to make sure he 's okay . phyllis : all right , how long is this someone been missing ? amanda : a couple days . ugh , i should n't even use that word . he 's probably just crashing at a friend 's house and he does n't want to be crowded . so if i go and i hire an investigator , at this point , it would be overkill . so , yeah , i 'm going to wait and hopefully he 'll show up , and then i can breathe easier . phyllis : yeah . hey , listen , you been in worry mode for a really long time . everything that 's gone on with you , it 's enough to rattle anyone . so i get it . amanda : yeah , i guess you 're right . phyllis : but , you know what , that 's in the past , and you need to savor the moment . you have a lot to look forward to . amanda : thank you , phyllis . that 's really good advice . phyllis : yes , it is good advice . you want to show me how much you appreciate that advice ? amanda : how ? phyllis : by having a cocktail with me . it 's on me . amanda : all right . i accept . phyllis : great . good . um , i 'm just gon na -- i 'm going to go -- i 'm gon na head upstairs and drop off some of this stuff . all right ? i 'll see you in a bit . phyllis : all right . adam : my mind is being conjuring up some pretty dark scenarios . chelsea : i ca n't say that surprises me . adam : it 's just -- there 's no hard evidence to support them yet . but as far as i 'm concerned , nothing is outside the realm of possibility . chelsea : well , this is victor we 're talking about . i mean , what are -- what are your instincts telling you ? adam : if cliff borrowed money from aj and he could not pay it back , then aj would not be above threatening him or making an example out of him . at least that 's always been my impression of loan sharks operate . chelsea : well , that part makes sense , but are you actually insinuating aj arranged for the car wreck that killed your stepfather ? i mean , that 's just really out there . adam : maybe . maybe not . chelsea : and did n't you tell me that the man died on the scene , the one who caused the crash and he had high blood alcohol content ? i mean , you ca n't plan that . adam : i do recall that the driver knew aj . in fact , i 'm pretty sure that he worked with the guy . so that is another piece to the puzzle . chelsea : okay , well , let 's just -- let 's just think this through . adam : look , i know this is a lot , and i have the same questions and the same doubts that you do . chelsea : yeah . adam : but just let 's set all that aside and just picture the scene . victor comes back to town . he sees cliff in the hospital battling for his life . he 's got his ex - wife and his young son , devastated . now , granted , i 'm speculating . but what if victor learned from cliff that aj was behind it all ? hmm ? chelsea : hmm . victor would have been furious with aj and he would have wanted to keep you and hope safe from him . so aj goes to jail , problem solved . adam : mnh - mnh . for a while . what if aj came after my mother to get the money he was owed after he was released ? could be a coincidence . aj dies in an accident when victor 's there visiting my mother . then again , maybe not . chelsea : the bottom line is , i mean , you 're not gon na really prove any of this or disprove any of this . adam : well , i 'm not the one that 's gon na do that . alyssa is on her way here as we speak . chelsea : aj 's daughter ? you 're getting her involved in this ? victoria : thank you for coming to see me and putting my parents ' minds at ease . nate : not a problem . victoria : well , if you 'll excuse me , i 'd like to go make something to eat . nate : if you have any questions or concerns before our next visit ... victoria : oh , i 'll be in touch , do n't worry . victor : okay , sweetheart . nikki : victor and i really appreciate the house call . nate : my pleasure . nikki : when victoria got home from the office , she just seemed so exhausted . victor : she seems to be doing better . nikki : i do n't know . i think that may have been for your benefit because she does n't want to let you down . victor : mm . you think she was putting on a show for us ? nate : well , you can see for yourself , she 's doing well , physically . i 'll keep an eye on her fatigue , but that may have an emotional component to it , which is n't my area of expertise . nikki : understood . nate : would victoria considered going back to see her therapist to work through the trauma she experienced ? nikki : she has been talking to sharon , unofficially , but she said today that she would be willing to see her for actual counseling sessions . victor : wait a minute . what does sharon have to do with any of this ? she 's barely out of school . if we go down that road , she needs to see a shrink , a real shrink . nate : it would be up to victoria to let us know what 's working and what isn't . however , she 's not likely to be honest about that unless she believes you are open to hearing what she has to say . victor : [ inhales deeply ] i 'm phil mickelson . nikki : i 've been thinking about ways that we can help victoria get past this terrible incident . victor : mm . what have you come up with ? nikki : well , what if we sent her someplace restful , like a spa ? you know , warmer weather , ocean breeze . it could do her a world of good . victor : mm . somehow , i do n't think that 's a good idea . nikki : darling , you did n't see her at the office today . i did . i mean , that used to be the place where she felt most confident . and i think that 's why she was determined to go back there today , to feel that again . but that is not what happened . i mean , it did n't energize her , it drained her . i could see in her eyes and her body language how overwhelmed she was . victor : huh . she probably just pushed herself too hard , you know ? that does n't mean that going away is the solution . victoria : who 's talking about sending me away ? victor : sweetheart , your father and i were just discussing whether you might want a change of scenery . i mean , you 've been cooped up here for so long . victoria : i can only imagine how nick might feel -- he 's busting his butt , trying to fill in for me at newman while i 'm swinging in some hammock , sipping a mai tai ? nikki : victoria , you should never feel guilty for taking the time to heal . victoria : i do n't feel guilty . that 's not what i 'm saying . i just -- i 'm anxious to get back where i belong so that nicholas can reclaim his life and so that you guys can stop worrying about me . i really do n't want to talk about this . i 'm tired . victor : okay , sweetheart . do n't -- do n't get upset . okay ? adam : thank you so much for flying in on the spur - of - the - moment like this . alyssa : well , when you dangle that giant scoop in front of me , how could i resist ? adam : can i get you something to drink ? alyssa : no , i 'd rather get to work . adam : okay . have a seat . alyssa : mind if i take notes ? adam : no , not at all . no laptop ? alyssa : when it comes to reporting , i 'm old - school . we could have even have done this over the phone . adam : ah . i am old - school myself . i learned in my wall street days that face- to - face meetings are usually more productive . alyssa : so , tell me about this potential white - collar crime network stretching from here all the way to kansas . you said you have a high - level source who 's willing to be interviewed ? adam ? adam : what ? oh , i 'm -- alyssa , i am so sorry . i 'm just -- i 'm a little distracted today , so ... alyssa : because of our meeting ? adam : actually , was another story that you mentioned . it was , um ... the one that got away about your dad . i mean , how serious were you about pursuing that ? alyssa : it bothers me not knowing who my father really was , why he made the choices he did . adam : well , it might bother you even more if you were to look into it and find something unpleasant . alyssa : is that the real reason you invited me here ? do you know something ? adam : it is nothing solid . it 's just -- it 's a lot of dots that i 'm not even sure can be connected . alyssa : give it a whirl . adam : look , i 've gone back and forth for two days on whether i should share this or not , so ... alyssa : i 'm a reporter . not much surprises me . adam : but we are talking about your dad . alyssa : not much would surprise me about him , either . vic ... i know we have n't been in touch since we graduated high school , but i want you to feel comfortable sharing your thoughts with me . anything you think could be useful . you want to keep this in the vault , make your name stay out of it , i can do that . whatever works for you . adam : i mean , i trust you , alyssa . alyssa : just be straightforward . get whatever this is off your chest . adam : okay . okay . it 's like this . i did some research into my mother 's financial records . you know , she was kind of lady that would never throw away a canceled check or a bank statement . alyssa : it 's that generation , pack rats , never know when you might need fill- in - the - blank . so , what did you find ? adam : well , as it turns out , my stepfather , cliff wilson -- he was in some pretty dire straights , money - wise . and he might have gone to your father for a loan without telling my mother about it . i mean , maybe that 's not news to you . alyssa : i mean , i 've never been able to track down aj 's financial records , if they even exist . aside from rumors , i do n't know who he lent money to . adam : got it . alyssa : finding out that he targeted my good friend 's father would be depressing , but not that shocking . what time frame are we talking ? adam : it was shortly before cliff got in that car wreck , the one that i 'm pretty sure was caused by the man that worked for aj . alyssa : [ scoffs ] wait . i hope you 're not suggesting that my father had something to do with that accident . adam : look , i knew that this idea would upset you , okay ? alyssa : well , of course it would upset me . adam : like i said , there 's just a lot of dots that may or may not be connected . alyssa : they most certainly are not . phyllis : to us and our amazing careers and to this incredibly productive new phase that we are both entering . [ squeals ] amanda : okay , okay . you 're right , that was definitely worth drinking to . phyllis : cheers . [ giggles ] amanda : cheers . amanda : mm . phyllis : oh , my gosh . so things are probably picking up for you now that everybody knows that you were n't involved in colin 's scheme . amanda : yes , um , a lot of potential clients . they have contacted me . they want to sit down and have a meeting . it 's devon . devon has been kindly steering people in my direction . phyllis : that 's great . he 's one of the good guys , amanda : so it seems . phyllis : so that all worked out , right ? are you going to open a new office in town ? amanda : um , i 'm actually reconsidering that plan . phyllis : why 's that ? amanda : oh , opening a new law practice from scratch ? it is a huge undertaking . so i thought maybe i 'll go and work for somebody else 's in - house counsel . phyllis : mm . amanda : it 's less risky . and who knows ? i might even end up with a life . that would be something , phyllis : a social life . amanda : i know . phyllis : oh , my goodness . so , who is the person who sparked this motivation , huh ? amanda : uh ... phyllis : could it be that super - hot doctor , dr . nate hastings ? 'cause i saw there was , like , a spark between the two of you . amanda : i do n't know . i do n't know what you saw , but it is not what you 're thinking . phyllis : oh , really ? all right . so , what is it ? amanda : i do n't know , phyllis . would you tell me ? because i 've never heard you mention any of the men in your life , and i am sure that there is at least one . [ laughing ] oh ! oh , i knew it . okay , come on . spill . who is he ? what 's his name ? nick : all right . thanks for joining me . we got a lot accomplished here . [ sighs ] okay . chelsea : hey there . nick : hey . chelsea : what ? oh , come on . you do n't think i 'm actually trying to spy on you ? nick : it 's just habit . although i am on red alert . i know adam 's up to something . chelsea : if you say so . nick : you really do n't know what i 'm talking about , do you ? chelsea : what has he done to make you suspicious ? nick : [ sighs ] did you know adam showed up to the ranch last night , uninvited ? chelsea : i know he wanted to talk to victor about his mom 's farm . we were just there , and it 's gotten really run down . adam did n't want to show connor how upset he was , but it was hard on him seeing how bad it looked . nick : yeah , then he , uh , gave me a pat on the back for the job i 'm doing at newman . claimed dad made the right call at picking me to lead the company over him . chelsea : gee , nick , i can see how that would offend you . nick : it 's suspicious as hell . i 'm surprised you do n't see that . chelsea : why ca n't you just trust that adam actually just wants peace ? nick : because i know him , chelsea . chelsea : and i think i know him a little better . nick : oh , you absolutely do . i know you realize how warped and twisted he is , but for whatever reason does n't seem to faze you . adam : look , believe me , i understand how you feel . i mean , my own father has done things that i 've been hard for me to accept , and there 's been times i 've been ashamed to be his son . and i apologize for springing this on you years after the fact . but you are the one that wanted answers . alyssa : no , you have no answers . this is nothing but wild speculation . character assassination . i want no part of it . adam : okay , alyssa , please do n't go . there 's more , if you would just hear me out . alyssa : do you have facts , data ? any actual solid evidence of a crime of any kind ? i did n't think so . `` the young and the restless `` will continue . hy - a - lur - onic acid . phyllis : you want to jump to conclusions about my personal life , you go ahead . i 'm just gon na drink my drink . amanda : oh , come on ! i know a cheshire cat grin when i see one . phyllis : [ giggles ] i plead the fifth . amanda : oh , come on . okay , well , you do know that that only makes me more curious , right ? phyllis : yeah . yeah , i 'm sure it does . i 'm just having fun . amanda : playing the field ? hmm ? phyllis : um ... [ sighs ] oh , gosh , it 's been so hard for so long . really , i 'm happy right now . i 'm happy . phyllis has finally risen from the ashes . amanda : which is fitting since you named the hotel the grand phoenix . phyllis : the grand phoenix . i know . and it took a lot longer than i thought it would , but it was worth every bit of effort that i put into it . amanda : well , i 'm delighted for you . phyllis : thank you . i 'm delighted for me . [ giggles ] amanda : okay , so , a stunning hotel for you to manage as you see fit .... phyllis : mm - hmm . amanda : a possible male companion to keep you amused in your off hours . so what 's next ? what 's next on your list ? phyllis : you know , i 'm just going to revel in my triumph because i 'm happy , my daughter 's happy . my friend amanda 's happy . amanda : i 'm getting there . phyllis : [ chuckles ] ah , a toast to getting there ! amanda : be it a scenic route . phyllis : yes . toast to getting there . you have to clink . it 's bad luck if you don't . amanda : this is the last toast ? phyllis : okay , yes . pinky swear . and you have to give me your pinky . [ glasses clink ] [ both giggle ] phyllis : so , you -- what are you going to do ? what kind of place do you want to work ? what kind of environment ? do you want a corporate scene or do you want to run a boutique agency , firm ? amanda : no , i do n't think that i can be too particular . i mean , i just came to town and i 've already burnt several bridges . phyllis : yeah , but devon , he -- he forgave you . amanda : true . yes , that 's very true . but i doubt that he wants to see this face in his office every day . phyllis : ah . right . i guess working for newman is out after what happened to victoria . amanda : did abby mention anything about how she 's doing ? phyllis : i think that she 's recuperating at the newman ranch . but , listen , if you had any idea about going over there and , you know , talking to her or giving her your sympathy , i 'm going to tell you from personal experience , please do not do it . the last thing any newman wants is for you to see them in a moment of weakness . victor : i did n't mean to wake you , my sweetheart . victoria : no , it 's all right . i ca n't sleep anyway . i 've got too many thoughts swirling around . victor : you know , i 've got to tell you , initially i was a little skeptical , but i think your mother 's idea of you taking a trip is not bad . victoria : dad ... victor : no , do n't dismiss it . i think it 's good for you to be away from a place where you 're constantly reminded of what happened . victoria : it 's no use trying to run from it . there 's -- i carry the reminders with me wherever i go . victor : i know what you mean , my baby . i know what you mean . chelsea : there 's nothing warped or twisted about adam offering to help out at newman . he wanted to help his family , nick . he wanted to pitch in during victoria 's crisis . i actually found a pretty decent of him , considering we knew none of you would have appreciated the gesture . nick : you done ? chelsea : you know what , adam predicted that you would call him self - serving . he predicted that victor would use him as leverage to try to get you to take the job , and what do you know ? that 's exactly what happened . you did n't want the position . you just did n't want adam to have it . all of you . you 'll always make him feel like such an outsider in his own family . how noble of you . nick : i am protecting this family against someone who has repeatedly and viciously attacked us . the last time you went after my father , it affected everyone , including your son . chelsea : well , there was plenty of blame to go around . do n't forget that . nick : i 'm just amazed at how loyal you are to this guy . it does n't matter what he does or who he hurts . you stand by him . you 're a completely different person when you 're with him . maybe this is who you were the whole time and i just did n't want to see it . chelsea : [ scoffs ] wow . okay , well ... i 'm sorry to disappoint you . nick : what is concerning to me , chelsea , is you 're going to be the one who 's gon na wind up disappointed . that 's the way it always works with adam . victoria : [ sighs ] dad , what is it gon na take for you and mom to stop worrying about me ? maybe you two should go to the spa and relax . victor : what ? you 're not gon na get rid of us that easily . victoria : that knife attack was ... terrifying . it was barely three seconds of my life , and i refused to let that change me . you -- you already think that it has , do n't you ? you see me as weak . i mean , do you think -- do you not want me to go back to newman ? victor : no , that is not what i 'm saying at all . i just want you to know that you are not alone in this . victoria : well , thank you . victor : i mean , i share your feelings . i know what it is like . people tried to kill me , tried to go after other members of our family . i know how enraging that is . victor : well , did you reach out for help when it was happening to you the same way you want me to ? victor : no , i didn't . foolishly , i dealt with it myself . but ... one instance that i kind of have lived to regret . victor : and what instance was that ? victor : my sweetheart , we are talking about you , not about me . okay ? & now , you promise -- promise that you will rely on your family . we will all help you to get better . take all the time you need to recover , okay ? come here . victoria : all right , i will . victor : okay , come here . victoria : okay , i promise . victor : come here . promise ? victoria : i promise . victor : my sweet girl . hmm ? chelsea : oh , alyssa ! hi . alyssa : hello . chelsea : it 's to good to see you again . is adam parking the car ? alyssa : no . i cut our meeting short . chelsea : oh . so he told you about his suspicions ? you must be so upset . i told him it was n't a good idea . you know what , let me -- let me buy you a drink . alyssa : stinger , please . chelsea : make it two . alyssa : [ sighs ] chelsea : i really should have stayed . maybe i could have helped adam deliver that news to you a little more delicately . alyssa : i 'm hard - pressed to imagine a delicate way to accuse my father of murder . chelsea : i know . and then to hear that maybe he was murdered himself , i .... alyssa : what ? chelsea : i mean , i know adam really does n't want to believe that his father could be capable of something like that . alyssa : adam thinks his father , victor newman , may have killed my father ? chelsea : well , is n't that what -- he did n't tell you that ? oh , my god , i 'm so sorry . he must have decided not to tell you , and then now i just blurted that out . um ... alyssa : i 'm sorry . you 're obviously confused . my father was n't murdered . chelsea : absolutely . absolutely . i guess i just -- i thought a lot of it was strange . you know , he died from that fall , but then adam found out that victor was in town at the same time . so he thought maybe those things were connected . but i 'm sure they 're not . i 'm sure they 're not . um ... i am absolutely mortified . and i , uh , wish we could just forget i said anything . alyssa : [ scoffs ] chelsea : oh , god ... um , you know what , maybe i should -- i should head home and explain to adam that i just put my foot in it . i 'm so sorry . amanda : come on ! just one little peek ... phyllis : it 's private . amanda : you 're texting a guy , admit it . phyllis : i mean ... if you insist , yes . amanda : mm , does this guy have a name ? phyllis : you 're pushing your luck . amanda : okay , fine . what are you -- what are you saying to him ? phyllis : oh , my gosh , um ... amanda : come on ! phyllis : all i have so far is `` hi . `` amanda : oh ! okay . yeah , now i totally get why you wanted to keep that a secret . phyllis : [ giggles ] i had more , but i erased it . amanda : okay . what do you want to say to him ? phyllis : what do i want to say ? um ... i want to say , `` hey , you 're super hot . get your hot body over here and make my day . `` amanda : that 's cute . phyllis : it 's cute ? amanda : yes ! it 's perfect . phyllis : what ?

[ sighs ] okay , well ... you got what you wanted . ciara : trust me , this is not what i wanted . i did not want to believe that you could do that to me . i couldn't . when ben first told me i said , `` no , you are so wrong . `` that she is my best friend . she 's my family , and no matter what we go through we love each other . claire , why ? claire : i did not mean to ! ciara : why did you try to kill me ? claire : i did n't mean to ! you know -- i swear ! i swear to god . look , i -- when i got here that night i was -- i was here to save you ! ciara : how did you even know where i was ? claire : b - because i -- i was on my laptop and your cellphone location popped up . ciara : that 's exactly what i thought , but why did n't you tell anyone ? claire : you know , 'cause i wanted to be the hero for once . ciara : well , if you wanted to be the hero you should have skipped the arson . the attempted murder . claire : god , see ? even now you just ca n't help it . ciara : help what , claire ? claire : it 's that superior attitude of yours . it -- it just drives me absolutely crazy ! you know , you treat me like i am incompetent . like you are so much more pretty and smart and popular than i am , and ... [ long inhale ] god , i do n't know , when -- when i got here that night and saw you ... you were just ...

[ sniffs ] then ... [ laughs ] i realized that i could stop you . ciara , i could make all of this pain and all of this rejection just go away . and then it was like fate . 'cause i saw ben 's lighter ... and i -- i do n't really remember picking it up , but i must have because there it was in my hand . and then ... the next thing i knew i was just -- i was setting everything on fire . you would be out of my life . forever . what patients do n't realize is rex : hi . sarah : [ laughs ] rex : what 's this hanging around your neck ? sarah : oh , god , here we go . rex : is that , um -- that new ? sarah : oh , yeah , this ? is n't it stunning ? and the guy who gave it to me is so generous . and he has excellent taste . i mean , it must have cost a fortune . rex : stunning . hmm . no , i was thinking more garish . sarah : oh , well , i can take it off . rex : no , no , please , leave it on . i mean , i have no problem with you wearing a piece of jewelry that some other man gave to you even when he knew that you were married to me . by all means , wear it . i just think it 's a little gaudy , that 's all . sarah : okay , you know what ? it is not gaudy or garish , and all joking aside , i could n't exactly spit in xander 's face after he gave us the diary that saved will 's life . rex : okay , okay . i -- i understand , you 're right . but let 's be real here . he did n't give that diary to you in the interest of science . we both know what he 's interested in . sarah : oh , my god . can we please not fight about a stupid necklace ? not on our wedding night . rex : okay , yeah . can i say one more thing ? sarah : can i please stop you ? rex : okay , you may not have been able to stop him from buying it . you may not have been able to stop him from giving it to you , but you could have said no . you did n't have to wear it . 'cause now this sick creep has got it in his sick creep mind that he 's branded you as his . sarah : oh , my god , that is so ridiculous . rex : really ? you 're wearing his necklace . sarah : it 's a necklace , rex . not an engagement ring . he knows damn well that i am married and that i basically ca n't stand him . rex : and you still accepted his gift . sarah : because of will ! can we just drop this please ? can you just trust me enough to not obsess over xander and a stupid piece of jewelry ? rex : damn it , i trust you . i do n't trust him . you need to realize how dangerous this man is . sarah : okay . okay , fine . i should n't wear the damn thing . it 's just -- especially not now that there 's suspicion over how it came into his possession . xander : i buried them in the woods on the far end of town . kristen : yeah , and you sure no one 's gon na find them there ? xander : look , do n't second - guess me when i 'm doing your dirty work for you . get your own hands dirty for a change . kristen : calm down , all right ? xander : sorry . killing people does n't exactly put me in the best mood . kristen : oh , yeah , you being so fragile and moral and all . look , i did n't come planning on killing ted and kate . it was either them or us , and you know it . and now you have to make sure that no one goes looking for kate . that 's all .

[ sighs ] ted : i 'm sorry . rex : cheers . mm . so going back , do you think that xander stole this necklace from ted ? sarah : or he could have bought it off of him . rex : i think it 's safer to assume the worst from this guy . no ? you do n't think so ? sarah : maybe he 's trying to change . rex : [ laughs ] do you really believe that ? sarah : my mom does ! rex : your mom sees the best in , like , everybody . except for me . sarah : oh , she 'll come around . rex : yeah , i 'm not gon na hold my breath .

[ scene_break ] nick : this was a bald - faced attempt to manipulate the savaneur stock price by circulating unfounded rumors . arnold : just how unfounded those rumors are has yet to be determined . i have a report that says victor newman suffered a serious life - threatening setback the morning of the stockholders ' meeting . at the same time , ms. newman was reassuring you all that it was merely a minor setback , and that he remained c.e.o . of newman enterprises and savaneur . victoria : at the time i made that statement , i had every confidence in my father 's improvement and recovery . and it turned out that i was right . so , uh , my father 's out of the hospital , and we expect him back to work any day . nick : i 'm going to stipulate that i 'm not going to discuss my father 's personal medical history . now that being said , does anyone at this stockholders ' meeting or on this conference call have any questions ? very well . then i believe we are finished here . deacon : i have something i 'd like to say . arnold : and you are ? deacon : i 'm deacon sharpe . i 'm a savaneur stockholder . i 've had some personal dealings with ms. newman , and i 'd like to make a statement for the record .

[ scene_break ] nick : mr. sharpe , i hope you 're prepared to show some evidence of your holdings in savaneur . deacon : well , as a matter of fact , i brought the certificates in case there 's any question . victoria : uh , mr. sharpe is an art dealer . i 've purchased some pieces from him for the newman foundation . that has nothing to do with savaneur , and we 've certainly never discussed my father 's health . deacon : that 's true . i have no inside knowledge of these accusations . arnold : then i 'm not sure what your purpose is in coming forward . deacon : i guess i 'm what you 'd call a character witness . victoria newman is a straight shooter . let me tell you something -- every deal that we 've done , she 's been the soul of integrity , beyond reproach . and any of my clients who worked with her would say the exact same thing . so if she says that her father was getting better , then that 's exactly what happened . and i , for one , feel very confident that my investment is in such capable , incredible hands . victoria : thank you , mr. sharpe . um , i appreciate your confidence . deacon : well , you 've earned it . deacon : hi .

( door closes ) michael : you know , whoever made that phone call could easily have borrowed someone else 's phone . nick : and then just happened to volunteer to lead the search for the caller ? michael : then it 's occurred to you that it might be adam ? nick : well , of course it has , but i ca n't jump to that conclusion in front of dad , and who knows ? maybe we 're wrong . he does have his hands full right now . victor : i do see the difference . you seem more confident . but , ashley , for you to claim that all the anxieties have left now after a few sessions with a therapist -- ashley : it 's not about the sessions , victor . it 's because i had the baby . i mean , everything that was going on , it was very stressful . i was constantly worried that it would hurt her , or that it would even kill her . i was just always feeling so guilty , constantly filled with guilt . victor : it must have been excruciating . ashley : it was actually unbearable . and then i would have those dreams .

[ scene_break ] victor : i told you i was thinking of making some drastic changes . i 'm not taking this decision lightly . i 'm very carefully weighing the concerns of the company and my family and my health . michael : well , not necessarily in that order . victor : no . i 'm mostly concerned with ashley 's well - being . michael : ( sighs ) ashley . victor : i just came from seeing her -- very difficult for her , very difficult for her to her recover , considering all the breakdowns and nightmares and anxieties and pregnancies . michael : victor , you 're not holding yourself responsible , are you ? victor : ( sighs ) it 's not a question of affixing blame . i just want to make sure that she 's all right , because if she 's all right , then the children will be , and i 'll do whatever is necessary to make that happen . michael : when you say `` whatever 's necessary '' -- victor : ( sighs ) i 'm gon na leave genoa city for a while .

( sighs ) [ scene_break ] adam : you know , it is very strange to me that you would want to protect whoever made that call to the s.e.c . michael : i guess you could go with that approach when you talk to victor . ( sighs ) the only problem is , victor trusts me implicitly and you not at all . adam : i am working to regain his trust . michael : i know , and that concerns me . nick : adam , any word from your friend at the s.e.c . ? adam : uh , yeah , i was able to find the number that , uh , that made the call , but , uh , to link it to a name , there 's been no luck so far . nick : it could only have been a few people . hardly anyone knew of dad 's condition . what 's the number ? adam : right here . nick : see , that 's the same company prefix that most of the phones around here use . go get the records from connie . adam : you got it . ( door closes ) michael : you know , whoever made that phone call could easily have borrowed someone else 's phone . nick : and then just happened to volunteer to lead the search for the caller ? michael : then it 's occurred to you that it might be adam ? nick : well , of course it has , but i ca n't jump to that conclusion in front of dad , and who knows ? maybe we 're wrong . he does have his hands full right now . victor : i do see the difference . you seem more confident . but , ashley , for you to claim that all the anxieties have left now after a few sessions with a therapist -- ashley : it 's not about the sessions , victor . it 's because i had the baby . i mean , everything that was going on , it was very stressful . i was constantly worried that it would hurt her , or that it would even kill her . i was just always feeling so guilty , constantly filled with guilt . victor : it must have been excruciating . ashley : it was actually unbearable . and then i would have those dreams . ( sighs ) sabrina was telling me that the baby was dead , and i would wake up in such a panic . but , okay , she 's fine . she 's here .

[ scene_break ] phyllis : oh , i 'm sorry . i told them to leave it at the tack house . ashley : oh , that 's okay . no worries . shh , shh , shh . phyllis : mm . they forget . she 's so sweet . ashley : ( whispering ) she 's sleeping . phyllis : i know .

[ scene_break ] victor : i told you i was thinking of making some drastic changes . i 'm not taking this decision lightly . i 'm very carefully weighing the concerns of the company and my family and my health . michael : well , not necessarily in that order . victor : no . i 'm mostly concerned with ashley 's well - being . michael : ( sighs ) ashley . victor : i just came from seeing her -- very difficult for her , very difficult for her to her recover , considering all the breakdowns and nightmares and anxieties and pregnancies . michael : victor , you 're not holding yourself responsible , are you ? victor : ( sighs ) it 's not a question of affixing blame . i just want to make sure that she 's all right , because if she 's all right , then the children will be , and i 'll do whatever is necessary to make that happen . michael : when you say `` whatever 's necessary '' -- victor : ( sighs ) i 'm gon na leave genoa city for a while .

dylan : [ sighs ] sharon : morning . dylan : hey . sharon : oh . did n't you get any sleep ? dylan : [ chuckles ] what kind of guard would i be if i 'd done that ? sharon : a well - rested one ? dylan : yeah , i 'm used to pulling all nighters for watch duty . fortunately , things were quiet . sharon : thank you again for staying . it was really unsettling for me to think someone could get past security , break into my house , leave a message that 's threatening on my mirror . dylan : well , i hope you were able to get some sleep . sharon : actually , i slept the best that i have since ... dylan : since when ? noah : decaf . summer : i 'm fine . i 'm not gon na let what your mom said get to me . noah : okay . summer : but , you know , it is possible that she could have made up that whole story about dad and sandy what 's - her - name . noah : possibly . unlikely . summer : it 's much more likely than dad nearly killing a girl and then trying to cover it up . noah : look , i ca n't imagine dad doing something like this , either , okay ? but ... mom was just so specific on the facts . when the party took place , dad getting sandy drunk , daring her to dive off the balcony . summer : do i need to remind you all the times that sharon 's lied for her own selfish reasons ? noah : no , you do n't . my mom is not perfect . and neither is dad , as much as i hate to admit it . but i believe that my mom is telling the truth , summer , and i think -- i think you do , too . summer : [ sighs ] you know , i just -- i need to talk to dad . noah : summer , you ca n't . summer : why not ? noah : because if dad finds out about the documentary footage , he 's gon na know we 've been covering this whole thing up , and we ca n't risk that . summer : i hate this . thinking the worst of dad . noah : yeah , i do , too . i mean , no matter how old we get , i -- it sucks hearing that he 's less than perfect . nick : i need to ask you a question , dad . i need you to tell me the truth . victor : all right . truth about what ? nick : remember a party i held here at the ranch my senior year of high school ? victor : party ? son , you had many parties . nick : yeah , well , this was a big one . things got out of hand . mom was out of town . i guess the security guys called you out to the ranch . when you showed up , i was passed out and there was a girl from my school who was injured . victor : so ... what 's the point ? nick : i want to know what you did that night . victoria : good morning . billy : hey . victoria , nikki , nice to see you both . nikki : you too . victoria : are you celebrating ? billy : oh , just having breakfast . victoria : well , congratulations , by the way . i heard about your engagement . i 'm very happy for both of you . chelsea : thank you . billy : yeah , thanks , vick . victoria : so , we wo n't intrude on your breakfast . nikki : good to see you . chelsea : bye . billy : [ chuckles ] nikki : well , that was very gracious of you . i know it could n't have been easy . victoria : billy and i are in a good place . nikki : it really does n't bother you that he 's going to be marrying chelsea ? victoria : mom , i 'm happy for him . billy being in a solid relationship is good for him and the kids -- everyone . what ? nikki : nothing . chelsea : that was nice of victoria to wish us well . billy : yeah . yeah . chelsea : maybe we should have told her we decided to put the wedding on hold . billy : well , she 'd still be happy for us . unlike your permanent shadow , bingham , who practically danced a jig when he found out we were waiting . chelsea : i thought you were n't gon na let gabe get to you . billy : no , he does n't . not in the slightest . what ? [ sighs ] adam : what are you doing here ? sage : oh , nice to see you , too . look , i just got a call from our old pal tipton and he wants to know when we 're moving back into our apartment . apparently the other residents have already moved into their units . adam : really ? what 'd you tell them ? sage : do you mean did i tell them that you bribed the contractor to slow down repairs to our penthouse so you and chelsea could keep living under the same roof ? adam : mm - hmm . sage : no , i did n't tell him that , and you 're lucky -- adam : come here . shh ! keep your voice down . sage : okay , do n't shush me . i 'm not four . mr. tipton 's not gon na let this go , gabe . adam : okay , well , you know what ? i 'll worry about him later . i 'm concerned with something much more important right now . sage : oh , another opportunity to get closer to chelsea ? adam : no , actually , this just sort of fell right into my lap , but , uh , using it to my advantage would be a bonus . chelsea : you 're okay with us not rushing to the altar , right ? billy : yeah , yeah . i 'm good . you ? chelsea : would i have suggested this romantic breakfast celebrating our decision if i was n't ? billy : well , in that case , to us and to waiting . chelsea : to waiting . [ cell phone rings ] billy : of course . what do you want , gabe ? adam : billy , is chelsea there with you ? billy : yeah . adam : there 's an emergency here at jabot . just get over here whenever you can , thanks . billy : okay , but what -- jackass . chelsea : what 'd he say ? billy : that we need to get to jabot right away . chelsea : did he say why ? billy : no , he did n't . i 'm sure that it 's nothing , but i guess i should get down there anyway , just in case there really is a problem . chelsea : so much for our romantic breakfast . billy : and i think that is the point . nikki : good . now you wo n't be distracted . victoria : i was n't distracted . okay . maybe their engagement bothers me more than i admitted . nikki : honey , you have every reason to be upset . what you and billy had was -- victoria : and i need to move on , and i can start by not making him a topic of conversation when i 'm trying to have breakfast with my mother . i 'd much rather talk about you . nikki : oh . not much to say there . victoria : well , how about the fact that the charges against you in christine 's accident have been dropped . that must be a huge relief . nikki : is that your subtle way of asking me if i 've been drinking ? victoria : well , since you brought it up . nikki : i am clean and sober . not to say that i have n't been tempted , but i 've been going to meetings , i have a new sponsor , and i am trying very hard not to let your father 's shenanigans get to me . victoria : did you hear about his attempt to buy jabot ? nikki : oh , yes . victoria : did you also hear that jack turned him down ? nikki : i have heard this so many times i can not even count . your father 's not gon na give up until he gets what he wants . what worries me , as usual , is how far he will go to get it . nick : you always taught me to step up , own my mistakes . then you go and do something like this . victor : something like what ? nick : you 're gon na deny culpability till the end . well , i ca n't do that . victor : you ca n't do what ? nick : deny that i 'm responsible for what happened to sandra allen that night . victor : wait a minute . that 's the girl who had that diving accident , right ? nick : an accident ? ! dad , an accident is when you slip and fall . this girl -- i got drunk and i dared her to dive off our balcony , into our swimming pool . it was a dumb move on my part , one that put her in the hospital for a year . it cost her a chance at a college scholarship . her olympic dreams were gone . i changed this girl 's life forever that night . victor : son , why are you talking to me like this ? huh ? that girl said that she had made that decision on her own to take that dive . nick : i always wondered why she never told everyone it was my fault . victor : because it was n't ! nick : i tried for years to get in touch with her . she would n't return any of my calls , any of my letters , and i always found that weird since she did n't blame me . victor : she probably wanted to put the whole thing behind her . victor : no , you paid her off ! you bribed the entire allen family . and part of that deal was no contact with me , right , dad ? how much did that cost you ? victor : watch it , son . i 'm not denying a damn thing , okay ? nick : really ? victor : i will not discuss this with you . nor will i apologize for what i 've done . nick : well , of course you wo n't . victor : why the hell should i apologize ? i did this to protect you , protect her , protect her family . in fact , the family thanked me for resolving this quickly and quietly . you should thank me , too . nick : what the hell should i thank you for ? victor : for protecting your future , son . nick : it 's a future you bought and paid for ! victor : you would n't have done any differently with any of your children , would you , now ? sharon : you sure i ca n't make you breakfast ? dylan : oh , no , i 'm good . thank you . hey , you never answered me before . you said you had n't slept that well since -- since when ? sharon : um , i was just gon na say since nick threatened to take faith away from me . the idea of losing all that time with her just keeps me awake at night . dylan : well , now that nick has agreed to give you more time with faith , you should be able to rest easy . sharon : i slept like a baby last night . dylan : well , uh , i have to stop by work . i 'll come back and check on you later , okay ? sharon : you do n't have to do that . i 've kept you away from your fiancée long enough . dylan : yeah , you know , avery 's been , uh ... just really busy with a new client , so ... i 'll come back . it 's no problem . sharon : i do n't know how to thank you . dylan : uh , i have n't done much . sharon : you stood by me , did n't you ? you did n't judge me . you believed in me . and i do n't know what i would have done without you . dylan : you 're a survivor . you will always find a way to take care of yourself . sharon : are you talking about how i convinced nick to give me more time with faith ? dylan : i was pretty surprised you were able to do that . sharon : well , thank you for not asking what i 'm holding over him . dylan : do n't want to know . sharon : i agree . it 's better off that you do n't know what someone you love is capable of doing . i 'm gon na go get dressed . nick 's bringing faith over later . sage : i know that your entire life is all about getting back together with chelsea , but we need to take a couple of minutes and figure out our stories for tipton . adam : i think you worry too much about that stuffed shirt . sage : you 're the one who wants to keep this whole fake marriage charade going . adam : you know what , sweetheart ? i really -- and maybe it 's just me -- i feel like you committing adultery with my brother is gon na send up more red flags than us not moving back into our smoke - damaged apartment . sage : you think i like sneaking around ? adam : some women get off on it . sage : okay . yeah . but i 'm not one of them . i do n't like lying , okay ? ! adam : do n't do anything stupid . billy : all right , we 're here . what 's the big emergency ? chelsea : hi , sage . sage : hi . guys , i was just leaving . we 'll talk later . billy : so ... what 's going on ? and where 's jack ? if this is a crisis , why is n't he here ? adam : right , uh ... truthfully , i did n't want to bother him with it , you know ? he 's still dealing with kelly 's death and ... actually thought you might want to tackle this one since it involves your ex - wife . billy : what does victoria have to do with this ? adam : somebody hacked into jabot 's mainframe . billy : and you think it was victoria ? adam : i think victoria knows who it was . victoria : i know how driven dad can be when he wants something , but jack is not gon na let go of his family 's company . nikki : well , that 's what worries me , 'cause your father is not going to give up . victoria : do you think he would try to steal jabot from jack ? nikki : he said he would n't . victoria : well , there you go then . nikki : he also said that some day jack would come to him , begging for his help and he would give it to him . in exchange for everything that jack had . victoria : he said something similar to me . nikki : how would your father even know what jack is gon na do in the future unless he is planning something ? i 'm afraid that war between the two of them has started all over again . victoria : dad is definitely up to something . he asked me to gather all the information i could on jabot . nikki : does n't he realize how stressful it is for me when he does things like this ? victoria : dad is never gon na change . you just need to learn how to not let it affect you . nikki : well , it would be a lot easier if i knew what he was up to . nick : you really think what you did was protecting me ? victor : you 're damn right i do . nick : you let a young girl take the blame for something that was my fault . victor : the accident happened , okay ? it was done . what good would it do now to hold you responsible for it ? nick : especially when you can buy my way out of it . victor : i did that to protect you ! and her and her family . and for your information , they 're taken care of for the rest of their lives . and i made sure that you have a future . nick : it 's a future i did n't deserve . victor : you 're not that naive , are you ? do you think we all get what we deserve ? nick : i had a right to choose what kind of life i wanted , but you made that choice for me . victor : why are you bringing all this up now ? has that girl contacted you ? nick : no . sharon told me . victor : oh , for heaven 's sake . nick : apparently she was there that night , hiding and listening . she heard you get on the phone and tell your henchmen to do whatever was necessary to keep me out of trouble . victor : i hope you 're glad that i 've seen to it that that woman stays away from you ! nick : you 've done the exact opposite , dad . sharon and i are connected forever now because she will always have this to hold over me . victor : do you know how damage that woman has done to our family ? i 'll see to it that she stays away from you . nick : no . you stay out of it . you 've done enough already . victor : i suggest you and i both forget this conversation . nick : you might be able to do that , but now that i know the truth , i 'll never be able to forget . [ door opens , closes ] courtney : i found a report filed by the gcfd back in the fall of nick and sharon 's senior year of high school . noah : what did it say ? courtney : that sandra allen was injured at the newman ranch . she dove off the balcony into the swimming pool . nick : broken neck ? courtney : yep . sharon : did the report mention my dad at all ? courtney : no . and i could n't find any record of his involvement in police files , either . summer : see ? dad had nothing to do with it . courtney : or what sharon told austin was the truth . and victor paid someone to keep nick 's name out of it . [ knock on door ] noah : i 'll get it . dylan ? dylan : i thought i might find you all here . [ door closes ] dylan : i know everything . austin 's murder , hiding the body , the messages . summer : wait , who -- who told you ? was it ... kevin ? mariah ? dylan : it was abby . summer : [ sighs ] great . proving once again that she ca n't be trusted . dylan : if abby had n't told me , stitch would have . noah : okay , that 's great . so are you gon na go to the cops ? dylan : uh , give me a good reason not to . kyle : well , we then would all be in 10 kinds of trouble . summer : yeah , or dead like austin . dylan : look , i get that you guys are freaked out because of what you 've done and the threats you 've been getting , but you have to understand you 're not the only ones involved now . sharon 's been threatened , too . noah : no , she has n't . dylan : she did n't write that message herself ! noah : you 're right . she did n't . kyle did . tried to scare her into confessing . dylan : you son of a -- noah : dylan ! dylan ! kyle knows he messed up . he knows . he knows . kyle : i got the message . noah was very persuasive . dylan : this is n't a joke , you little punk . you have any idea how dangerous it is to play head games with sharon ? you could have pushed her over the edge . what the hell were you thinking ? kyle : that i could force sharon to admit that she killed austin so that nick would never find out what she said in that interview . faith : mommy ! sharon : sweetie ! hi ! faith : daddy said i 'm gon na have an extra day with you every week . sharon : yes , we agreed on that . faith : daddy , does this mean you stopped fighting ? nick : it means you get to spend more time with your mom . faith : i 'm so glad you and mommy do n't hate each other anymore . sharon : of course we do n't , sweetie . faith : can we play a game ? sharon : um , as soon as you finish your homework . faith : i 'll do it right now . sharon : [ chuckles ] okay . nick : love you . see you tomorrow , faith . faith : bye , daddy ! sharon : you wo n't regret this . nick : i already regret it . in fact , i 'm thinking of going to the authorities and telling them everything that you saw and heard with what happened with sandra that night . sharon : that 's a pretty big can of worms to open . nick : it 'd be worth it . sharon : are you sure ? you 'd have a hard time proving you did n't know about the hush money victor paid to sandra and her family . you could lose custody of faith completely . nick : you 'd really do that to faith ? sharon : you did . nick , the arrangement we have works . there 's no reason to dig up the past . we can keep the truth about what happened to sandy between you and me and victor . it 's up to you . courtney : sandra allen was definitely injured at that accident at the ranch . noah : courtney pulled up some old accident reports and it was pretty much exactly how my mom described it . dylan : could nick have found out austin knew what happened that night ? courtney : it 's possible . noah : no , it 's not possible , okay ? there 's no way either of my parents killed austin . summer : well , it could n't have been dad . he was trapped under a ton of rubble that night at the underground . kyle : hey , that still leaves sharon . noah : kyle , lay off my mom . kyle : why ? because you say so , noah ? dylan : no , because i say so . let it go . all of it . forget austin , forget the murder , who might have done it . courtney : and what ? go on with our lives like nothing happened ? dylan : because if you do n't , one of you might get hurt . whoever 's threatening you does n't realize i know anything . that gives me free rein to take care of this . kyle : and how ? by going to paul ? 'cause , see , that does n't really work for me , dylan . dylan : maybe i did n't make myself clear . back off . kyle : why ? and let you play rambo ? dylan : your lies made this mess . i 'm gon na do my best to clean it up . stay out of my way . [ door closes ] adam : the hacker used something called a root kit to access the mainframe , and i guess once they were in , they were able to steal some pretty sensitive files . chelsea , they got your latest designs . chelsea : no . adam : i 'm sorry . chelsea : no ! billy : this just smells like victor . and jack said he thought he was up to something . adam : of course . he 's always up to something . does n't care who he hurts as long as he gets what he wants . we ca n't let him get away with this . billy : i do n't intend to . chelsea : i 'm not sure victoria shares your feelings . billy : what does that mean ? chelsea : well , i mean , she 's been asking you to watch the kids a lot lately so she can spend time at newman . it stands to reason . billy : oh , come on . victoria would never do anything to hurt my family . chelsea : i 'm just saying i think her loyalty is to her father . that 's clear . billy : okay , fine . if that 'll make you happy , i 'll talk to her about it , but i can guarantee you she did n't have anything to do with this . look , thanks for giving me the information about the breach , you know ? talk to you later . adam : all right . victor . should have known . chelsea : i 'm sorry . i mean , this must be painful for you . dredging up old memories of your father losing his business . adam : my father , harrison , did n't lose his software company . it was stolen from him -- by victor . destroyed the man in the process . chelsea : well , i 'm sure victor regrets that . adam : i do n't think victor newman regrets anything that he ever does . he 's as cold and heartless as he ever was . i just wish i would have figured that out a little bit sooner , you know ? it would have saved me a little heartache . chelsea : what about your father ? you loved him . adam : idolized him . actually is a better word . i used to think we would work side - by - side together one day . that was before i realized what a son of a bitch he was . [ chuckles ] victor : i will leave the information at the usual place . i will text you when i get there , all right ? you retrieve it immediately and call me when you 've got it , okay ? i did n't hear you come in . nikki : oh , i just got here . victor : how was your breakfast with victoria ? nikki : oh , it was interesting . victor : yeah ? let 's discuss it when i come back . i got some business to take care of , okay ? nikki : okay . victor : okay . bye , baby . nikki : bye . nick : i already gave you an extra day with faith . now you 're talking about joint custody ? sharon : let 's just take things one day at a time , okay ? i 'm happy with the arrangement . for now .

[ both chuckle ] billy : i could never hate you , either . victoria : okay . it 's official , then . we 're madly in non - hate . billy : [ chuckles ] yeah . something like that . courtney : okay . [ chuckles ] trying not to freak out over here . noah : why ? courtney : it 's just that since we decided to stop obsessing over austin 's murder there 's been this weird lull in our conversation . noah : sorry . i was just thinking about something . courtney : like what i 'm wearing under my clothes ? noah : [ chuckles ] i 'm always thinking about that . courtney : [ laughs ] noah : i did have something on my mind , though . courtney : more important than my lingerie ? noah : yeah . yeah , i 'd really like to talk to you about it . courtney : what is it ? noah : it 's about us . courtney : okay . noah : [ chuckles ] um ... remember like about a year ago we were here at crimson lights and i gave you the key to my apartment ? and you were just like completely freaking out because you thought that i was giving you an engagement ring ? courtney : yeah . [ laughs ] i was so not ready to get married then . noah : no , neither was i . it 's just a lot 's happened since then . some were really great . and some ... courtney : not so great . noah : it 's just austin 's death just made me think about life and how everything changes and how it can just end ... [ snaps fingers ] ... like that . courtney : what does that have to do with us ? noah : you know , i 've been standing still for so long that i convinced myself that i 'm comfortable , that just working at my dad 's club and hanging out with my friends , with you was enough . courtney : and it 's not ? noah : i do n't want to wake up one day or -- not wake up -- with regrets . especially ... when the best thing that ever happened to me is sitting right here in front of me . courtney : noah . wait . [ chuckles ] noah : um ... courtney : you 're not gon na -- noah : [ chuckles ] [ clears throat ] courtney ... will you marry me ? courtney : oh , my god . oh , my god !

[ sighs ] adam : what are you doing here ? sage : oh , nice to see you , too . look , i just got a call from our old pal tipton and he wants to know when we 're moving back into our apartment . apparently the other residents have already moved into their units . adam : really ? what 'd you tell them ? sage : do you mean did i tell them that you bribed the contractor to slow down repairs to our penthouse so you and chelsea could keep living under the same roof ? adam : mm - hmm . sage : no , i did n't tell him that , and you 're lucky -- adam : come here . shh ! keep your voice down . sage : okay , do n't shush me . i 'm not four . mr. tipton 's not gon na let this go , gabe . adam : okay , well , you know what ? i 'll worry about him later . i 'm concerned with something much more important right now . sage : oh , another opportunity to get closer to chelsea ? adam : no , actually , this just sort of fell right into my lap , but , uh , using it to my advantage would be a bonus . chelsea : you 're okay with us not rushing to the altar , right ? billy : yeah , yeah . i 'm good . you ? chelsea : would i have suggested this romantic breakfast celebrating our decision if i was n't ? billy : well , in that case , to us and to waiting . chelsea : to waiting .

billy : that we need to get to jabot right away . chelsea : did he say why ? billy : no , he did n't . i 'm sure that it 's nothing , but i guess i should get down there anyway , just in case there really is a problem . chelsea : so much for our romantic breakfast . billy : and i think that is the point . nikki : good . now you wo n't be distracted . victoria : i was n't distracted . okay . maybe their engagement bothers me more than i admitted . nikki : honey , you have every reason to be upset . what you and billy had was -- victoria : and i need to move on , and i can start by not making him a topic of conversation when i 'm trying to have breakfast with my mother . i 'd much rather talk about you . nikki : oh . not much to say there . victoria : well , how about the fact that the charges against you in christine 's accident have been dropped . that must be a huge relief . nikki : is that your subtle way of asking me if i 've been drinking ? victoria : well , since you brought it up . nikki : i am clean and sober . not to say that i have n't been tempted , but i 've been going to meetings , i have a new sponsor , and i am trying very hard not to let your father 's shenanigans get to me . victoria : did you hear about his attempt to buy jabot ? nikki : oh , yes . victoria : did you also hear that jack turned him down ? nikki : i have heard this so many times i can not even count . your father 's not gon na give up until he gets what he wants . what worries me , as usual , is how far he will go to get it . nick : you always taught me to step up , own my mistakes . then you go and do something like this . victor : something like what ? nick : you 're gon na deny culpability till the end . well , i ca n't do that . victor : you ca n't do what ? nick : deny that i 'm responsible for what happened to sandra allen that night . victor : wait a minute . that 's the girl who had that diving accident , right ? nick : an accident ? ! dad , an accident is when you slip and fall . this girl -- i got drunk and i dared her to dive off our balcony , into our swimming pool . it was a dumb move on my part , one that put her in the hospital for a year . it cost her a chance at a college scholarship . her olympic dreams were gone . i changed this girl 's life forever that night . victor : son , why are you talking to me like this ? huh ? that girl said that she had made that decision on her own to take that dive . nick : i always wondered why she never told everyone it was my fault . victor : because it was n't ! nick : i tried for years to get in touch with her . she would n't return any of my calls , any of my letters , and i always found that weird since she did n't blame me . victor : she probably wanted to put the whole thing behind her . victor : no , you paid her off ! you bribed the entire allen family . and part of that deal was no contact with me , right , dad ? how much did that cost you ? victor : watch it , son . i 'm not denying a damn thing , okay ? nick : really ? victor : i will not discuss this with you . nor will i apologize for what i 've done . nick : well , of course you wo n't . victor : why the hell should i apologize ? i did this to protect you , protect her , protect her family . in fact , the family thanked me for resolving this quickly and quietly . you should thank me , too . nick : what the hell should i thank you for ? victor : for protecting your future , son . nick : it 's a future you bought and paid for ! victor : you would n't have done any differently with any of your children , would you , now ? sharon : you sure i ca n't make you breakfast ? dylan : oh , no , i 'm good . thank you . hey , you never answered me before . you said you had n't slept that well since -- since when ? sharon : um , i was just gon na say since nick threatened to take faith away from me . the idea of losing all that time with her just keeps me awake at night . dylan : well , now that nick has agreed to give you more time with faith , you should be able to rest easy . sharon : i slept like a baby last night . dylan : well , uh , i have to stop by work . i 'll come back and check on you later , okay ? sharon : you do n't have to do that . i 've kept you away from your fiancée long enough . dylan : yeah , you know , avery 's been , uh ... just really busy with a new client , so ... i 'll come back . it 's no problem . sharon : i do n't know how to thank you . dylan : uh , i have n't done much . sharon : you stood by me , did n't you ? you did n't judge me . you believed in me . and i do n't know what i would have done without you . dylan : you 're a survivor . you will always find a way to take care of yourself . sharon : are you talking about how i convinced nick to give me more time with faith ? dylan : i was pretty surprised you were able to do that . sharon : well , thank you for not asking what i 'm holding over him . dylan : do n't want to know . sharon : i agree . it 's better off that you do n't know what someone you love is capable of doing . i 'm gon na go get dressed . nick 's bringing faith over later . sage : i know that your entire life is all about getting back together with chelsea , but we need to take a couple of minutes and figure out our stories for tipton . adam : i think you worry too much about that stuffed shirt . sage : you 're the one who wants to keep this whole fake marriage charade going . adam : you know what , sweetheart ? i really -- and maybe it 's just me -- i feel like you committing adultery with my brother is gon na send up more red flags than us not moving back into our smoke - damaged apartment . sage : you think i like sneaking around ? adam : some women get off on it . sage : okay . yeah . but i 'm not one of them . i do n't like lying , okay ? ! adam : do n't do anything stupid . billy : all right , we 're here . what 's the big emergency ? chelsea : hi , sage . sage : hi . guys , i was just leaving . we 'll talk later . billy : so ... what 's going on ? and where 's jack ? if this is a crisis , why is n't he here ? adam : right , uh ... truthfully , i did n't want to bother him with it , you know ? he 's still dealing with kelly 's death and ... actually thought you might want to tackle this one since it involves your ex - wife . billy : what does victoria have to do with this ? adam : somebody hacked into jabot 's mainframe . billy : and you think it was victoria ? adam : i think victoria knows who it was . victoria : i know how driven dad can be when he wants something , but jack is not gon na let go of his family 's company . nikki : well , that 's what worries me , 'cause your father is not going to give up . victoria : do you think he would try to steal jabot from jack ? nikki : he said he would n't . victoria : well , there you go then . nikki : he also said that some day jack would come to him , begging for his help and he would give it to him . in exchange for everything that jack had . victoria : he said something similar to me . nikki : how would your father even know what jack is gon na do in the future unless he is planning something ? i 'm afraid that war between the two of them has started all over again . victoria : dad is definitely up to something . he asked me to gather all the information i could on jabot . nikki : does n't he realize how stressful it is for me when he does things like this ? victoria : dad is never gon na change . you just need to learn how to not let it affect you . nikki : well , it would be a lot easier if i knew what he was up to . nick : you really think what you did was protecting me ? victor : you 're damn right i do . nick : you let a young girl take the blame for something that was my fault . victor : the accident happened , okay ? it was done . what good would it do now to hold you responsible for it ? nick : especially when you can buy my way out of it . victor : i did that to protect you ! and her and her family . and for your information , they 're taken care of for the rest of their lives . and i made sure that you have a future . nick : it 's a future i did n't deserve . victor : you 're not that naive , are you ? do you think we all get what we deserve ? nick : i had a right to choose what kind of life i wanted , but you made that choice for me . victor : why are you bringing all this up now ? has that girl contacted you ? nick : no . sharon told me . victor : oh , for heaven 's sake . nick : apparently she was there that night , hiding and listening . she heard you get on the phone and tell your henchmen to do whatever was necessary to keep me out of trouble . victor : i hope you 're glad that i 've seen to it that that woman stays away from you ! nick : you 've done the exact opposite , dad . sharon and i are connected forever now because she will always have this to hold over me . victor : do you know how damage that woman has done to our family ? i 'll see to it that she stays away from you . nick : no . you stay out of it . you 've done enough already . victor : i suggest you and i both forget this conversation . nick : you might be able to do that , but now that i know the truth , i 'll never be able to forget .

'cause , see , that does n't really work for me , dylan . dylan : maybe i did n't make myself clear . back off . kyle : why ? and let you play rambo ? dylan : your lies made this mess . i 'm gon na do my best to clean it up . stay out of my way .

[ laughs ] i was so not ready to get married then . noah : no , neither was i . it 's just a lot 's happened since then . some were really great . and some ... courtney : not so great . noah : it 's just austin 's death just made me think about life and how everything changes and how it can just end ... [ snaps fingers ] ... like that . courtney : what does that have to do with us ? noah : you know , i 've been standing still for so long that i convinced myself that i 'm comfortable , that just working at my dad 's club and hanging out with my friends , with you was enough . courtney : and it 's not ? noah : i do n't want to wake up one day or -- not wake up -- with regrets . especially ... when the best thing that ever happened to me is sitting right here in front of me . courtney : noah . wait .

isabella : i have n't a clue . paul : are you sure ? i mean , there 's got ta be some reason . total stranger walks in here , pretending to be someone she 's not and then starts interrogating you about your ex - husband . why ?

kay : elizabeth , tell me something . are you , um ... are you all right with what 's going on over there ? liz : well , i probably never should have told you she was adopted , but i never thought that she would just move heaven and earth to find her birth parents . kay : well , i 'll tell you something . i 'm very furious . my god , she already has a mother , and you are a wonderful mother . liz : thank you , my dear , but -- kay : she has a good life . a good life -- far better than she deserves , and you think jill would be content to accept that ? no , no , no . miss jill has to go around digging up the past . liz : well , it 's her choice . i mean , if she thinks that she really needs to know -- kay : listen to me . i am not thinking about her , elizabeth . i think about that poor woman who gave birth to her . i mean ... jill : are you my mother ? charlotte : i was ... a long time ago . technically . jill : sit down , please . jill : i 'm jill . oh , you know that . charlotte : i 'm charlotte . charlotte ramsey . jill : it 's very nice to meet you . charlotte : i , uh , i never dreamed this would happen . jill : you did n't ? ever ? charlotte : well , i wondered . i mean ... how about you ? jill : i dn ' n't even find out i was adopted until very recently . i know . it 's unbelievable . charlotte : no one told you ? jill : no , well , my real mother -- i mean , you 're my real mother . the woman who was my -- is ... i 'm sorry . this is so strange . charlotte : are you okay ? jill : i have to ask you something . charlotte : go ahead . jill : no . i am not gon na start grilling you as soon as we 've sat down . let 's , um , relax into this a little bit . charlotte : all right . no rush . jill : no , there really is no rush , is there ? charlotte : and since we 're taking things slowly , why do n't we have just a little drop of something to ... loosen us up ? jill : you want a drink ? of course . um , mm . waiter ! good afternoon . the americans have launched what 's being called the mother of all bombing campaigns on baghdad today . and there are reports the iraqis have executed all the american and british pow 's .. we 'll have the latest on the war at six . + + + the sars scare is escalating in canada - stores in toronto are sold out of surgical masks ... and the concern is spreading here to edmonton . we 'll tell you what health officials are doing to stop the spread of the deadly illness tonight at six . paul : you know , i do n't understand why talking about this should spoil our evening . i mention the name kelly mmmmons , and you get all bent out of shape . isabella : i 'm not bent out of shape . that woman 's a fake . she admitted it . paul : fake or not , she was here . she questioned you about your ex - husband , a guy you have n't been married to in years , a guy who 's been in jail for ages . why ? isabella : is this how you question people on the job , paul ? you just keep asking them even though they do n't have an answer ? you just go at it until they make something up or go nuts ? paul : she gave you no idea why she was curious about james ? isabella : no , other than her story about him being considered for parole . paul : which was a lie . isabella : no , kelly simmons is a lie . why do n't you put all this energy into finding out who she really is ? paul : what kind of questions did she ask about james ? isabella : she wanted to know what i thought about james being integrated back into society . and i told her i had n't communicated with him in years . i had no idea if he should be released or not . why is it so important to you ? paul : i just keep wondering what she 's after . isabella : did you ever consider the possibility that she was trying to get dirt on me ? paul : no , why ? isabella : for whoever hired her , probably the same person who despises me enough to get mary to break into michael baldwin 's office and steal his files . paul : oh , lynne ? you think lynne hired kelly simmons ? isabella : paul , paul , besides your mother , who else hates me that much ? if it were up to lynne , you and christine would still be married . you know that 's how she feels . michael : i love you , christine , and it makes me ill ... michael : it makes me ill to think of that man touching you , much less doing it without your permission . chris : will you tell me really , from your point of view , which is worse ? michael : oh , god . look at you . you 're suffering from this . am i supposed to just let that go , let him go ? chris : yes , because he 's suffering , too . michael : oh , please . chris : what ? you think he 's not ? this is something paul 's gon na have to live with for the rest of his life . chris : what ? michael : oh ... oh , ho . michael : oh , my god . michael : i guess if anyone understands how a man can love you so much that he 'd lose control ... chris : don't . do n't do that . that was so long ago . michael : no , no , no . oh , guilt like that does strange things to a man . i 've felt it for all these years . even today , it 's still with me . like a nightmare , it never , never quite goes away . chris : so then maybe you 'll understand that paul will be punishing himself far more than you or i ever could . michael : good . do n't get me wrong . i despise that man , and i always will . and i 'll never forgive him for hurting you like he did . i ca n't believe i 'm actually saying this , but ... chris : but what ? michael : if i 'm brutally honest with myself , who am i to judge paul williams ? j.t . : all right , be straight with me , colleen . you made that up , right ? colenen : what ? j.t . : that stuff about yo dad . colleen : why would i make it up ? j.t . : because lauren was here . you do n't have to worry about her . she 's cool . she 's not gon na say anything to your folks . colleen : no , j.t . , i did n't make it up . my dad and ashley really know i 'm here with you . j.t . : and they 're really okay with it ?

colleen : well , it 's not exactly like that , but very close . j.t . : how did this happen ? colleen : after we saw each other this afternoon , i went home . they wanted to know where i was , and i decided to be honest for a change . j.t . : that was pretty risky . colleen : you know , i do n't want my dad and ashley to be suspicious of me all the time , so i wanted to start over , and i told them that i would try a lot harder this time , and i meant it . j.t . : and they actually said yes ? colleen : you do n't seem very happy . j.t . : no , i 'm ... i 'm cool . this is great . i 'm stoked . it 's just -- colleen : i know . it 's so bizarre . everything 's different now . i mean , no more hiding our feelings for each other . we can actually go on a date and act like any couple any time we want . is n't it great ? j.t . : yeah , it 's great . hey , uh , why do n't i get us some coffee ? colleen : okay , thksks . anita : lauren . lauren : well , anita , hello . anita : i did n't expect to find you here so late . lauren : the price of being the boss . anita : looks like you 're ready to close up . lauren : something i can help you with ?

jill : well , do you mind ? charlotte : well , i 'd rather not drink alo , but as long as you 're not going to lecture me . might i have another ? jill : oh , sure . uh , where 's the waiter ? charlotte : oh , never mind . he 'll show up . in the meantime , always be prepared . i learned that from the girl scouts . jill : you were a girl scout ? charlotte : oh , yes , yes . what ? jill : nothing . it 's just so amazing to see you . charlotte : ah ! ] show . anyway out on the west coast ther the weather . a mad scram tbl to get over here . claire : i just cut my finger . so , it was called cattle point . of the nation , and subsequentlyne of th here . your cruise director , ron ca n't believe you really think lynne is behind all this . isabella : who else could it have been ? paul : i have no idea , but there 's got to be a better explanation than that . isabella : like what ? paul : i 'm just wondering if there 's something you 're not telling me . isabella : what are you talking about ? paul : about your ex - husband james . isabella : what about him ? paul : have you told me the whole story about your past with him ? isabella : i do n't believe you . now you suspect me of hiding something ? paul : you know , i am just thinking out loud . i 'm trying to get a handle on this . isabella : well , i 'll say it again . i do n't know why kelly simmons , if that 's even her real name , was here . i do n't know what she was after , but i do know that she is a total and complete fraud . and why you would give her a second thought is beyond me . paul : because it 's a puzzle , isabella , and the pieces do n't fit . isabella : fine . play detective . but i refuse to put any more time and energy into that woman . your son needs me . michael : you 've been through so much . chris : i 'll survive . michael : do n't do that . chris : what ? michael : pretend it does n't matter . chris : well , of course it matters , but life goes on , right ? michael : yeah . we are gon na have such a great future together . chris : you still believe that ? michael : oh , my goodness . whatever does n't kill us makes us stronger , right ? i 've got so many plans for us . you wait and see . it 's gon na be nothing t t blue skies . we 'll figure it out together . i just know that with you by my side , there are no limits . michael : why are you looking at me that way ?

listen , j.t . , you do n't have to worry about me , oy ? y ? look , i 'm not gon na get jealous just because a couple cute girls hit on you . i know that there 's more to your life than just me . it 's the price i pay for having a boyfriend all the girls are crazy about . j.t . : knock it off , colleen . colleen : no , no , i 'm serious . look , i know you could be with any girl u u want , which is why i feel so lucky that you want to be with me . so i 'm not gon na be the type of girlfriend who 's all clingy and possessive . i trust you , and i know you love me . j.t . : hey , come on , colleen . colleen : what ?

anita : look , i do n't need a new friend or a sparring partner or a confidant to share my deepest thoughts with . if i gave you that impression earlier , i do apologize . lauren : so what do you need ? what 's misn ng from your life , anita ? a husband that pays attention to you ? well , that we know . anita : what is missing is brittany . i 'm desperate to find out information , and that is why i came here . lauren : to get it from j.t . ? you really think he can help ? anita : he phoned me earlier to say he had a thought about brittany . i 'd like to follow up . lauren : hmm , i see . anita : if you see him this evening , could you please tell him to call me on my cell ? he has the number . lauren : will do . lauren : leaving so soon ? anita : well , i ca n't imagine what else we 'd have to talk about . lauren : i suppose you 're right , and i really hate to say it . you seem better this evening . you seem more alive . anita : do i ? well , actually when you saw me earlier this afternoon , lauren , i was a little under the weather , which could account for my mood . but is n't life fascinating ? the changes ? how a gray day can turn sunny in the blink of an eye ? lauren : mmm . and vice - versa . anita : have a lovely evenin lauren : hmm . what are you up to , lady ? and what does it have to do with j.t . ? jill : charlotte , why do n't we call it a night ? charlotte : we just got here . jill : well , i know . buw why do n't we take it slow ? you know , if we get too fast it gets stressful , and i want it to be fun . charlotte : ( slurring ) well , i 'm having fun . are n't you ? jill : oh , i am . it is just amazing to sit here with you . charlotte : yeah . you 're a lovely person , and i really am pleased i 'm here . jill : thank you . um , so why do n't i drive you home ? charlotte : i do n't wan na go home . it 's too early . jill : well , you should . it 's late . charlotte : well , no , it isn't . i 've got a couple stop offs i have to make to visit some very close friends . gina : you know what ? i have a great idea . there 's usually a cab parked out front . why do n't i go check about that ? charlotte : gina , that 's a wonderful idea . yes . and you have a lovely place here . gina : well , thank you , and i hope you come back soon . charlotte : well , yeah . yeah , certainly . jill : would you mind ? gina : uh , certainly . i 'll be right back . jill : good . charlotte : jill , honey , i am fresh out of cab fare . jill : oh , no problem . i do n't know where you live , so how much will it take ? charlotte : $ 50 would do it . jill : um , here 's $ 100 . c charlotte : well , thank you very , very much . jill : oh , you 're welcome , and i 've tucked my card in there , so would you please call me tomorrow morning ? charlotte : yes . jill : you wo n't forget ? charlotte : oh , i never forget anything . that was $ 100 you said , was n't it ? you 're a lovely , generous woman , and i like you , i really do . and i wo n't forget to call you , i solemnly promise . gina : well , my dear , your chariot awaits . charlotte : oh . thank you very much . thank you . i 'm going now . gina : here we go . let me help you , please . charlotte : oh , thank you very much . gina : oh , it 's my pleasure . oh , wait a minute . let 's not forget this . charlotte : addio . addio , gina roma . gina : here we go . charlotte : addio . arrivederci . i 'm fine . i 'm wonderful . gina : yes , you are . charlotte : i 'm thinking seriously of taking up my singing . ah da do gina : you used to sing ? charlotte : oh , i still do . gina : well , you have a lovely voice . liz : katherine , why does it bother you so much ? kay : it just does , elizabeth . i firmly believe that ancient history should be left where it is -- buried , locked away , over and done with . liz : yes , but if jill and her birth mother agree that meeting one another is a good idea , then -- kay : please , please , please , please , elizabeth , my gosh . that woman is probably driven by remorse and guilt or what she did a number of years ago , not anything that is happy and advantageous today , nothing positive . that is what jill is taking advantage of . liz : oh , you do n't know that . kay : oh , yes , i do . liz : how can you possibly -- kay : believe me , i do . i know how it would feel to be ... here i am yelling at you . oh , god . uh , my darling , i 'm very , very tired , and i 'm going to go to bed . and , um , your room is ready if you want to stay , and i pray god that you will . hmm ? good night , my precious friend . kay : oh ... liz : oh , dear god . paul : you 're right . asking for forgiveness is a lot to ask . chris : i do n't mean that i 'm full of resentment , or that i want you to suffer . paul : well , i 'm suffering . look , i understand this has not been easy on any of us , least of all my marriage . chris : i 'm sure that 's true . paul : i have been pretty honest with isabella about what happened . i told her what i did to you . chris : probably a good idea . paul : yeah , well , it went a long way to explaining why i was acting the way i was all the months you were out of town . chris : so are things better between the two of you now that you 've told her the truth ? paul : well , i 'm told things are gon na get worse before they get better . i guess we 'll have to wait and see . um , look , the reason i 'm here is there are some questions i have to ask . it 's the only way i 'm going to be able to get on with my life . chris : what does it have to do with me ? paul : chris , yoyou 're the only person that knows the answers . look , you put on a disguise , you went to see my wife , you started asking her a lot of questions about things from her past , things that i ca n't imagine you ever needing to know about . so what in the hell were you looking for ? what did you expect to find ? | michael is furious as he learns that chris was sexually assaulted by paul . she does n't actually say it was rape but alludes that it was a horrible situation . michael then realizes he has no right to judge paul since he did the same thing to chris . she says that she 'll survive and she forgot how much she needs him . paul shows up at chris ' looking for forgiveness . colleen lets jt know that they can see each other now without having to sneak around . lauren wonders why anita looks so happy and why she 's looking for jt . jill meets her biological mother at gina 's . she seems very carefree and a brings her own alcohol with her to the restaurant . jill gives her $ 100 for cab fare . | <s>[INST] michael : well ... that explains everything -- paul 's mooththese past months . the things he said to me . michael : that 's it , is n't it ? that scum attacked you . that bastard . well , say something . is that what happened ? chris : what happened was ugly and shameful . it was not lovmamaking . michael : then it was rape . chris : that 's s a loaded word . michael : well , okay , if it 's not rape , then what ? tell me . tell me . chris : why do you have to label it ? we 've been married for years . paul and i have been intimate hundreds of times . michael : all right , all right , thank you , thank you ! i needed to he chris : michael , who is this about -- you or me ? michael : it 's about us , or at least i hope it is . chris : okay , so we do n't have to talk about what happened between paul a m me . look , what happened was ... michael : what ? what , uh ... last dying gasp of that relationship ? chris : look , i do n't know . something like that . michael : you 're not just saying that so i d't't go over there and attack paul with a hammer . chris : do n't you dare . michael : why not ? how am i supposed to live with this ? chris : stop , would you ? damn it ! this is not about you . i am warning you , michael . do n't get all macho on me . you made that mistake once . do n't make it again ! paul : how 's ricky ? isabella : oh , he 's tired . he went right to sleep . can i fix you a drink ? paul : no , maybe later . you know , um , i still wan na talk to you . isabella : about what ? paul : kelly simmons . isabella : paul , is it necessary that we have to discuss that woman ? paul : why is it you get so upset when i bring her up ? isabella : because she 's a liar . she lied the first time she came here , posing as a parole officer , asking me all kinds of questions about james . does n't that bother you ? paul : well , yeah . why would she ask you esestions about your ex - husband ? isabella : i have n't a clue . paul : are you sure ? i mean , there 's got ta be some reason . total stranger walks in here , pretending to be someone she 's not and then starts interrogating you about your ex - husband . why ? isabella : i told you . i have no idea . paul : well , there has to be a reason . maybe it 's something you 've forgotten . maybe it 's something from your past . something that you buried . isabella : damn it , paul . i said i do n't know . i do n't know what she was after . colleen : i 'm so happy to see you . j.t . : hey , colleen . colleen : and i bet you 're surprised to see me . j.t . : yeah , definitely . what are you doing out so late ? lauren : actually , i was kind of wondering that myself . colleen : oh , do n't worry , lauren . my dad knows i 'm here . j.t . : bet he does n't know i am . colleen : actually , he does . j.t . : yeah , right . colleen : he 's totally fine with it . j.t . : really ? that 's a good one . colleen : no , i 'm not kidding . that 's why i came to see you -- to tell you the great news . j.t . : what news ? colleen : my dad is okay with us seeing each other . j.t . : what ? how ? lauren : uh , you know , maybe i 'll leave the two of you alone . colleen : oh , no , it 's okay . you can stay . lauren : do you want me to stay ? colleen : did i interrupt something ? j.t . : no , we were talking about the situation with brittany . colleen : oh , right . did you ever get ahold of mrs . hodges ? j.t . : yeah , i did . colleen : well , you never did say why you needed to talk to her . > j.t . ; : well , i remembered something that might help her track britt down . colleen : oh , great ! really ? j.t . : yeah , it did n't pan out , though . colleen : oh . well , at least you tried . i 'm sure she really appreciated it . lauren : hey , you know , i have to go close up the boutique , so good night , colleen . colleen : good night . lauren : and we 'll finish our conversation another time . colleen : i 'm so happy to see you . kay : thank you again , larry . kay : well , elizabeth , i heard you were up and around . liz : good as new . kay : well , i am pleased . liz : oh , katherine , your visits to the hospital were a real tonic . thank you so much . kay : my pleasure . so , uh , no aftereffects like memory loss or ... liz : it does n't seem to be . although there are a few things i 'd like to forget . kay : yeah , well ... oh , i know the feeling . liz : but i 'm glad to be alive . no complaints . kay : i would n't have any complaints either , t , t , uh ... i ran into jill . liz : oh , dear . at gina 's ? kay : elizabeth , tell me something . are you , um ... are you all right with what 's going on over there ? liz : well , i probably never should have told you she was adopted , but i never thought that she would just move heaven and earth to find her birth parents . kay : well , i 'll tell you something . i 'm very furious . my god , she already has a mother , and you are a wonderful mother . liz : thank you , my dear , but -- kay : she has a good life . a good life -- far better than she deserves , and you think jill would be content to accept that ? no , no , no . miss jill has to go around digging up the past . liz : well , it 's her choice . i mean , if she thinks that she really needs to know -- kay : listen to me . i am not thinking about her , elizabeth . i think about that poor woman who gave birth to her . i mean ... jill : are you my mother ? charlotte : i was ... a long time ago . technically . jill : sit down , please . jill : i 'm jill . oh , you know that . charlotte : i 'm charlotte . charlotte ramsey . jill : it 's very nice to meet you . charlotte : i , uh , i never dreamed this would happen . jill : you did n't ? ever ? charlotte : well , i wondered . i mean ... how about you ? jill : i dn ' n't even find out i was adopted until very recently . i know . it 's unbelievable . charlotte : no one told you ? jill : no , well , my real mother -- i mean , you 're my real mother . the woman who was my -- is ... i 'm sorry . this is so strange . charlotte : are you okay ? jill : i have to ask you something . charlotte : go ahead . jill : no . i am not gon na start grilling you as soon as we 've sat down . let 's , um , relax into this a little bit . charlotte : all right . no rush . jill : no , there really is no rush , is there ? charlotte : and since we 're taking things slowly , why do n't we have just a little drop of something to ... loosen us up ? jill : you want a drink ? of course . um , mm . waiter ! good afternoon . the americans have launched what 's being called the mother of all bombing campaigns on baghdad today . and there are reports the iraqis have executed all the american and british pow 's .. we 'll have the latest on the war at six . + + + the sars scare is escalating in canada - stores in toronto are sold out of surgical masks ... and the concern is spreading here to edmonton . we 'll tell you what health officials are doing to stop the spread of the deadly illness tonight at six . paul : you know , i do n't understand why talking about this should spoil our evening . i mention the name kelly mmmmons , and you get all bent out of shape . isabella : i 'm not bent out of shape . that woman 's a fake . she admitted it . paul : fake or not , she was here . she questioned you about your ex - husband , a guy you have n't been married to in years , a guy who 's been in jail for ages . why ? isabella : is this how you question people on the job , paul ? you just keep asking them even though they do n't have an answer ? you just go at it until they make something up or go nuts ? paul : she gave you no idea why she was curious about james ? isabella : no , other than her story about him being considered for parole . paul : which was a lie . isabella : no , kelly simmons is a lie . why do n't you put all this energy into finding out who she really is ? paul : what kind of questions did she ask about james ? isabella : she wanted to know what i thought about james being integrated back into society . and i told her i had n't communicated with him in years . i had no idea if he should be released or not . why is it so important to you ? paul : i just keep wondering what she 's after . isabella : did you ever consider the possibility that she was trying to get dirt on me ? paul : no , why ? isabella : for whoever hired her , probably the same person who despises me enough to get mary to break into michael baldwin 's office and steal his files . paul : oh , lynne ? you think lynne hired kelly simmons ? isabella : paul , paul , besides your mother , who else hates me that much ? if it were up to lynne , you and christine would still be married . you know that 's how she feels . michael : i love you , christine , and it makes me ill ... michael : it makes me ill to think of that man touching you , much less doing it without your permission . chris : will you tell me really , from your point of view , which is worse ? michael : oh , god . look at you . you 're suffering from this . am i supposed to just let that go , let him go ? chris : yes , because he 's suffering , too . michael : oh , please . chris : what ? you think he 's not ? this is something paul 's gon na have to live with for the rest of his life . chris : what ? michael : oh ... oh , ho . michael : oh , my god . michael : i guess if anyone understands how a man can love you so much that he 'd lose control ... chris : don't . do n't do that . that was so long ago . michael : no , no , no . oh , guilt like that does strange things to a man . i 've felt it for all these years . even today , it 's still with me . like a nightmare , it never , never quite goes away . chris : so then maybe you 'll understand that paul will be punishing himself far more than you or i ever could . michael : good . do n't get me wrong . i despise that man , and i always will . and i 'll never forgive him for hurting you like he did . i ca n't believe i 'm actually saying this , but ... chris : but what ? michael : if i 'm brutally honest with myself , who am i to judge paul williams ? j.t . : all right , be straight with me , colleen . you made that up , right ? colenen : what ? j.t . : that stuff about yo dad . colleen : why would i make it up ? j.t . : because lauren was here . you do n't have to worry about her . she 's cool . she 's not gon na say anything to your folks . colleen : no , j.t . , i did n't make it up . my dad and ashley really know i 'm here with you . j.t . : and they 're really okay with it ? colleen : we have their complete blessing . j.t . : you know , for the last six months , your dad 's treated me like something that got left in the refrigerator too long , and now he 's like , `` bye , sweetheart . have a good time with j.t. `` ? colleen : well , it 's not exactly like that , but very close . j.t . : how did this happen ? colleen : after we saw each other this afternoon , i went home . they wanted to know where i was , and i decided to be honest for a change . j.t . : that was pretty risky . colleen : you know , i do n't want my dad and ashley to be suspicious of me all the time , so i wanted to start over , and i told them that i would try a lot harder this time , and i meant it . j.t . : and they actually said yes ? colleen : you do n't seem very happy . j.t . : no , i 'm ... i 'm cool . this is great . i 'm stoked . it 's just -- colleen : i know . it 's so bizarre . everything 's different now . i mean , no more hiding our feelings for each other . we can actually go on a date and act like any couple any time we want . is n't it great ? j.t . : yeah , it 's great . hey , uh , why do n't i get us some coffee ? colleen : okay , thksks . anita : lauren . lauren : well , anita , hello . anita : i did n't expect to find you here so late . lauren : the price of being the boss . anita : looks like you 're ready to close up . lauren : something i can help you with ? anita : yes , actually , i 'm here about brittany . lauren : has there been any word ? anita : no , unfortunately . lauren : you know , raraul just left . do you want his phone number ? anita : no , thanks . what about j.t . ? is he around ? charlotte : ah ! oh , that 's better . i 've been , uh , a little nervous all afternoon . jill : oh , so have i , believe me . charlotte : but the sun 's set over the yardarm . jill : yes , i enjoy a cocktail after work , too . charlotte : but you 're not drinking . you 're just drinking wine . not really drinking that , are you ? jill : well , do you mind ? charlotte : well , i 'd rather not drink alo , but as long as you 're not going to lecture me . might i have another ? jill : oh , sure . uh , where 's the waiter ? charlotte : oh , never mind . he 'll show up . in the meantime , always be prepared . i learned that from the girl scouts . jill : you were a girl scout ? charlotte : oh , yes , yes . what ? jill : nothing . it 's just so amazing to see you . charlotte : ah ! ] show . anyway out on the west coast ther the weather . a mad scram tbl to get over here . claire : i just cut my finger . so , it was called cattle point . of the nation , and subsequentlyne of th here . your cruise director , ron ca n't believe you really think lynne is behind all this . isabella : who else could it have been ? paul : i have no idea , but there 's got to be a better explanation than that . isabella : like what ? paul : i 'm just wondering if there 's something you 're not telling me . isabella : what are you talking about ? paul : about your ex - husband james . isabella : what about him ? paul : have you told me the whole story about your past with him ? isabella : i do n't believe you . now you suspect me of hiding something ? paul : you know , i am just thinking out loud . i 'm trying to get a handle on this . isabella : well , i 'll say it again . i do n't know why kelly simmons , if that 's even her real name , was here . i do n't know what she was after , but i do know that she is a total and complete fraud . and why you would give her a second thought is beyond me . paul : because it 's a puzzle , isabella , and the pieces do n't fit . isabella : fine . play detective . but i refuse to put any more time and energy into that woman . your son needs me . michael : you 've been through so much . chris : i 'll survive . michael : do n't do that . chris : what ? michael : pretend it does n't matter . chris : well , of course it matters , but life goes on , right ? michael : yeah . we are gon na have such a great future together . chris : you still believe that ? michael : oh , my goodness . whatever does n't kill us makes us stronger , right ? i 've got so many plans for us . you wait and see . it 's gon na be nothing t t blue skies . we 'll figure it out together . i just know that with you by my side , there are no limits . michael : why are you looking at me that way ? chris : you know something ? michael : hmm ? chris : i had forgotten how much i appreciate you and how much i need you . cody : there you go . j.t . : thanks , cody . colleen : hey , cody . cody : hey . colleen : i missed you out there . j.t . : all right , so let me get this straight . your dad said that you could see me anytime you want . colleen : well -- j.t . : all right , come on . truth . what did he say ? colleen : truth . there are some ground rules . school comes first , meaning i have to keep up my grades , and i ca n't break curfew . j.t . : which has probably been changed to , like , 6 : 00 . colleen : no , wise guy , they just want to know my plans . it might be a little bit of a drag , but i do n't think what they 're asking is that unreasonable . besides , it 's worth it to be with you . j.t . : it 's gon na be weird , though . colleen : what is ?

paul : well , i 'm told things are gon na get worse before they get better . i guess we 'll have to wait and see . um , look , the reason i 'm here is there are some questions i have to ask . it 's the only way i 'm going to be able to get on with my life . chris : what does it have to do with me ?

brooke : i 'm so glad that you two took me up on my invitation . karen : oh , we 're just happy to get a chance to see you both . ridge : same here . you have turned into a lovely young woman . caroline : oh , thank you . brooke : ridge and i love your designs . caroline : oh , that means so much coming from you . forrester is legend . brooke : we 're ready to make an offer -- short - term at first until we get to know each other . caroline : seriously ? a - an offer brooke : if you 're interested . caroline : as a designer , as opposed to an intern ? karen : it does seem a little sudden . brooke : well , things move pretty quickly around here . karen : do n't get me wrong . i - it 's not that we do n't think it 's wonderful that a design house like forrester , of your caliber , is interested in my daughter , but she is just starting . she does n't have a track record . brooke : ( giggles ) ridge : we see a lot of potential in caroline 's designs . karen : again , i mean , it 's really wonderful , but i ca n't help feeling like there might be a hidden agenda somewhere ... maybe yours , brooke ? [ scene_break ] amber : it did n't even o - occur to me that brooke would call in a replacement . ( sighs ) you did n't know about this , did you ? rick : i had no idea . amber : but you like her . rick : i never even met her before today . amber : i saw the way your eyes popped out of your head the second she stepped out of the car , all leggy and new york - stylish . rick : ( chuckles ) she is beautiful . amber : you do like her . you -- which is exactly what brooke is counting on . rick : ( scoffs ) amber : oh , my -- you know , she 's trying to push me out , rick . she 's trying to push me out of forrester and out of your life . [ scene_break ] rick : hey , hey , hey . amber : ( sighs ) rick : just stop . stop . you 're making yourself crazy for no reason . amber : no reason ? no reason , really ? rick : yeah . amber : you were there . you heard brooke . she said she wants me out of your life and out of forrester , and obviously she meant it , because she went and she hand - picked my replacement . rick : you know , i have a say in this , too . look , you got me this far in my line . i 'm not gon na say `` thanks `` by dumping you . amber : you 're the best , rick . rick : i know . amber : ( chuckles ) now go and tell brooke and ridge that . then we can go have our little , uh , celebration dinner , and we can pretend that caroline spencer does n't even exist , hmm ? rick : all right . amber : okay . rick : mm - hmm . amber : bye . rick : ( mouths words ) amber : ( sighs ) [ scene_break ] marcus : ( grunts ) thomas : what 's up , man ? are you getting ready for the honeymoon ? marcus : ( chuckles ) hey . the most beautiful woman in the world just agreed to be my wife . i just got to make sure i 'm right for her , you know ? thomas : no second thoughts ? marcus : are you serious ? thomas : i 'm just asking , you know . marcus : ( chuckles ) ( grunts ) thomas : so did you set a date yet ? marcus : no , not yet , but rosey and dayzee , they 're the best thing to ever happen to me , so i 'm kind of just ready to get the thing moving , you know ? thomas : ( exhales deeply ) marcus : yo , what about you ? why are you so , uh ... excited lately ? thomas : ( sighs ) getting engaged , man , did n't strike you blind , did it ? marcus : oh , i see . somebody got their eye set for caroline spencer . thomas : that 's a woman i 'd like to get to know . [ scene_break ] brooke : my agenda 's out in the open . i see this as a great opportunity for both caroline and rick . caroline : i thought rick was in paris heading up forrester international . brooke : he decided to move closer to home . caroline : so he 's back to stay ? ridge : he surprised us with some designs he 's been working on . brooke : this is a new area for him . he needs a new partner , somebody who understands the mechanics of transferring the concepts to paper and to fabric and so on and so on . and that 's where you come in . i think you 'd be a good fit . karen : and how do you see this partnership working ? i mean , it 's rick 's line , and they 're both designers . now i would n't be happy , and i know caroline would not be happy being relegated to his sketch artist . brooke : i envisioned a collaboration -- the beginning of a new edgy design team . caroline : has anyone asked rick what he thinks ? rick : ( sighs ) not really . but i 'd love to tell you . i - i 'm sure that you 're -- you 're very talented , but that 's not the only reason my mother summoned you here . you walked in on a power play . ( sighs ) my mother is trying to strong - arm amber , my collaborator , out of the business . [ scene_break ] brooke : i am not backing down , rick . amber 's been nothing but pain and heartache ever since you met her . rick : you know , i - i 've let go of the past . you should try it . brooke : we have tried . we 've forgiven her time and time again . and what does she do ? she takes a little time out , and then she comes back and she sabotages us all over again . rick : ( sighs ) karen : okay , here 's my concern . you use my daughter as a weapon against amber , and then where does that leave caroline once your mission has been accomplished ? brooke : i would like to hire caroline based on her merit . i think she has a very bright future , and i 'd like forrester to be a part of that . it 'd be advantageous for all of us . rick : except amber . brooke : ( sighs ) all right . ( sighs ) look , i have an idea . why do n't we throw a party in caroline 's honor ? and we 'll invite the family -- bill , katie , liam -- and you can get to meet everybody and just see how you feel . ridge : great idea , logan . we can use mother and dad 's house . i 'm sure they wo n't mind . caroline , you really should see this house . it was , uh , very special to your aunt caroline . she and i lived there , you know . caroline : oh , i 'd love to . i 'd like to know as much about aunt caroline as i can take in . in fact , i was hoping that you could fill in some of the blanks . ridge : i 'd be happy to . brooke : so everyone 's agreed ? karen : sure . why not ? caroline : a party sounds wonderful , brooke . thank you so much . [ scene_break ] thomas : ( grunting ) marcus : yeah , i knew i saw that twinkle in your eye when you saw miss caroline spencer . thomas : yeah . ( grunts ) she got my attention . ( grunts ) marcus : what about hope ? thomas : i do n't know if you noticed , man , but she 's ... ( grunts ) living with liam . marcus : you 're not gon na wait ? thomas : for what , man ? you know , hope 's totally hung up on the guy . you know , it 's time to get a clue and just move on . and i wish steffy would do the same . marcus : well , that 's not gon na happen . thomas : you never know , man . all it takes is someone else . marcus : oh , look at you . i see the gloves are off for miss caroline . thomas : oh , yeah . total k.o . ( chuckles ) marcus : ( mouths words ) [ scene_break ] ridge : i think brooke has a right to be concerned . amber 's caused a lot of damage . caroline : i got the impression that rick and amber have been dealing with each other for a long time . ridge : since he was a teenager -- she was his babysitter , for a lack of a better word , a position of trust that she violated by seducing him . and so it all began -- lies and betrayal , business and professional . caroline : is he in love with her ? ridge : oh , he has feelings for her . i think you could tell that . i would n't necessarily call them healthy . karen : well , as a mother , i totally get where brooke is coming from . i would do everything in my power to keep that amber away from my son , too . [ scene_break ] rick : i do n't want to talk about this . brooke : please . rick : do n't you have a party to plan ? brooke : i have a son to get straight first . rick : well , it 's not up for debate . brooke : it certainly is . rick : ( sighs ) look , amber gets me , okay ? she knows how to translate my ideas . she 's bright , she 's talented , and she 's easy to be with . brooke : she 's no caroline spencer . caroline is an up - and - coming young designer that people actually respect . now that 's the kind of partner that you need , not an amber moore . rick : you 're controlling me , mom ... but i love you anyway . brooke : mm . nice try . but you 're not gon na charm me out of this one . i do n't want somebody here that we ca n't trust . amber : okay , that 's it . rick : ( sighs ) amber : you 're gon na call me out . well , i 'm gon na defend myself . rick : ( sighs ) [ scene_break ] karen : well , at least you and brooke seem very happy . ridge : we are , after a sometimes difficult getting - here . karen : well , it 's good to know that my sister picked such a wonderful woman for you . ridge : your sister caroline 's instincts were always impeccable . you remind me so much of her . caroline : really ? ridge : the way you carry yourself with grace , class , dignity , so much style . it 's fitting that she named you caroline . caroline : i wish i had known her . ridge : she was an extraordinary woman like no other . i hope you give forrester a chance . it would be nice having another caroline around . [ scene_break ] amber : you know , you 're supposed to be a business woman , but you are forgetting one of the most important rules -- do n't let personal feelings influence professional decisions . brooke : oh , boy . this is rich -- a lecture on professionalism from you . amber : look , rick wants me here . brooke : he has n't made an informed decision . rick , come on . rick : ( sighs ) brooke : you got ta spend a little time with caroline . just get to know her . talk about designs . i really think the two of you will spark . but you ca n't take my word for it . you 're gon na have to check it out yourself . rick : i suppose i could do that . amber : rick ! rick : my mom 's right . ( sighs ) i got to form my own opinion . she did fly all the way across the country . it 's only polite . brooke : just like i raised you to be . amber : rick , could you just , uh , excuse us for a minute ? i 'd like a moment alone with brooke . brooke : ( sighs ) [ scene_break ] thomas : ( grunts ) marcus : okay , so why do n't you handle your business ? take caroline spencer out on the town for a night she wo n't forget before she goes to new york . thomas : if she goes back . marcus : what , there 's a chance she wo n't ? thomas : marcus , you saw brooke when she met them at the limo . it 's a woman on a mission . this is n't just a casual visit . caroline and karen are here for a reason . marcus : well , i can see why forrester would court her . i mean , the girl 's got mad skills . thomas : that 's it . marcus : what you thinking ? thomas : dude , brooke ca n't stand amber , and she hates the fact that she 's collaborating with rick . enter caroline spencer . marcus : yeah , but what if rick do n't drop amber to the curb ? thomas : i 'm guessing he wo n't , leaving yours truly , and i 'll just get her to work with me . marcus : oh , well , hot diggity dog , my man . [ scene_break ] caroline : well , whatever happens , i want you to know how exciting it is that a design firm like forrester is interested in my work . ridge : well , we 're only the first . that 's why we 're hoping to ace the competition . rick : oh . am i interrupting ? ridge : not at all . rick : i 'd like to speak to caroline alone , if that 's okay . caroline : sure . rick : ( clears throat ) karen : excuse me , sweetie . rick : ( clears throat ) ( door closes ) caroline : why do i get the feeling that we 're being set up ? rick : because we are . i kind of like it . [ scene_break ] brooke : you 're wasting your breath . amber : i - i do n't care . look , i have to get through to you . i know i 've done things to hurt you and your family , e - esp -- especially rick . but i 'm not that person anymore . look , my only motivation here is to help him be successful , and i can . i can help him . and maybe -- maybe it 'll help make up for all those mistakes that i made . please , brooke , just -- just give me a chance here . [ scene_break ] { flash back } ridge : why did it take me so long ? caroline : ridge , please do n't do this to me . this is n't good for me . ridge : oh , yes , it is . caroline : you obviously do n't understand the power that you still have over me . ridge , i 'm fighting this every day and every night , and i wo n't give in to my fantasies or my feelings . it 's just that i 'm vulnerable today , because it 's the holidays . and when i - i got your message , i just -- i responded without -- without even thinking . and i should n't have done that . and i 'm sorry that i did . ridge , please do n't call me anymore . i just ca n't take this anymore . ridge : marry me . i love you , and i want you to be my wife . marry me , caroline . marry me .

[ chuckles ] you know , ana called while you were in the kitchen . elena : yeah ? devon : mm - hmm . elena : what did she say ? devon : she said that everything was going smooth . they landed in detroit ataround midnight , and jett was able to get a good night 's sleep , and he is very excited to start his comeback tour . elena : i am so happy for him . devon : me , too . elena : it has me thinking , though . devon : what ? elena : do you think that part of the reason why ana joined jett on tour was because she wanted to give us some alone time , like maybe she could sense that we were getting closer ? devon : i have n't said anything to her . have you ? elena : we kind of dance around the subject . devon : mm - hmm . elena : [ chuckles ] devon : she 's not stupid , so , i mean , i 'm -- i 'm sure she 's noticed the way i look at you ... or the way you blush when you 're around me , just like you 're doing right now . elena : [ laughing ] stop . you 're making me feel self - conscious . devon : i 'm sorry . i do n't mean to do that . we can change the subject . what , uh -- what do you have going on for the rest of the day ? elena : hmm . remember those interviews that i had lined up ? devon : yes , i do . elena : well , i have a meeting with the chief of staff at memorial . devon : nice . elena : yeah . he wants to meet at 11 : 00 to go over a job in hospital administration . devon : wow ! elena : mm - hmm . devon : you 're gon na get that job on the spot . elena : would n't that be something ? devon : [ chuckles ] you 're not still thinking about moving out , though , are you ? elena : not after you made such a convincing argument for me to stay . nate : you ready for your check - up ? victor : yep . i got some news for you first . nate : okay . victor : nikki is going to join us , and i told her about my diagnosis , all right ? nate : very nice to hear . i 'll gladly answer -- victor : well , that 's what i want to talk to you about . uh , do n't go into details . um ... nate : okay . i hope you 're not asking me to lie to your wife . victor : no , no , no , no . i 'm not asking you to do that . nate : thank you . victor : in fact , i want you to tell her everything about my condition , about the disease , but since we just started treatment , um ... i do n't want you to scare her with , you know , possibly a negative outcome . nate : so , in other words , you have n't been candid about your prognosis ? victor : let me explain something to you , doc . i do n't give a damn how long the odds against me are . i 'm a fighter . i 'll defeat them . but there 's no sense in upsetting my wife unnecessarily . clear ? nate : [ sighs ] [ knock on door ] victor : come in ! nikki : oh ! victor : hi , sweetheart . nikki : hi . hell , nate . nate : nikki , how are you ? nikki : grateful that victor is in your care . i 'm reading everything i can on his pnh . seems like it might be hard to diagnose . nate : when a doctor hears hoofbeats , we 're trained to look for horses , not zebras . nikki : mm . nate : this is a zebra . nikki : well , it 's a good thing you found it as quickly as you did . i 'm hoping that that means the treatment is more likely to succeed . what do you think ? nate : [ sighs ] additional sponsorship devon : [ smooches ] well , i should probably go take a shower and get ready for my day . elena : need someone to help you scrub your back ? devon : yes . elena : oh . devon : i would love that . but then i do n't think we would ever leave the house . elena : mm , yeah . maybe we should n't risk it . devon : mm . elena : i do have that interview . and what would the chief of staff say if i did n't show up ? devon : well , i could write him a really nice note if you 'd like me to . elena : go . devon : yeah ? elena : i 'll clear the dishes . devon : okay . [ clears throat ] oh . the train left . [ chuckles ] elena : [ chuckles ] nikki : so , now that victor has begun treatment , what can we expect ? he does seem to be much more refreshed and relaxed than he has in a while . is it possible the treatment can work that fast , or am i just seeing what i want to see ? nate : well , it 's possible to notice an immediate effect . and if there is one , that tends to be a good sign . i 'll have a much clearer sense of things once the latest test results come back . nikki : when will that be ? nate : later this afternoon . victor : now , meanwhile , would you mind telling nikki to stop researching stuff on the internet ? nate : [ chuckles ] i can understand why nikki would want to get caught up quickly , given the fact that you 've been withholding information from her . but reading about worst - case scenarios can fuel anxiety , which would n't be helpful to either of you . nikki : so , are you saying i have nothing to worry about ? victor : no ! what the doctor is saying is that , you know , the statistics that you unearth on the internet -- i mean , they may be out of date , based on data and therapies that are long out of date . i mean , he 's administering cutting- edge therapy to me , you know ? it 's more than most patients get . nate : that 's right . that 's right . victor : thank you . nate : well , i will be back once i have more information for you , good or bad . victor : thank you , nate . nikki : yes , thank you so much . nate : i 'll keep in touch . victor : yep . nate : no worries . [ door opens , closes ] victor : so , does that reassure you a little ? nikki : um , yes , um ... kind of . it , uh ... really has convinced me that the kids need to know what 's going on . i mean , now is the time when everybody needs to pull together to support you . victor : yeah , but what i 'm afraid of is that the news of my disease is going to increase the animosity between adam and our other children . so ... i 'm not looking forward to that . but ... i 'm so happy that i have your love , my baby . nikki : oh , darling . victor : and you by my side , fighting this . nikki : of course . victor : okay ? nikki : i will be here for anything you need . summer : okay , wait . so , you were n't able to get ahold of her , either ? nick : not that i expect your mother to return any of my calls , but if she did hear my messages , she knows i 'm pissed . summer : well , i 'm surprised you felt the need to chew her out more after the fight you guys had at society . nick : since then , i have found out something else she has done . and , no , i 'm not gon na tell you what it is , but your mother has caused me a very serious problem , and i 'm just trying to figure out a way to solve it . summer : god . she just keeps digging herself into a deeper and deeper hole . it 's like she 's trying to alienate the last few people who care about her . nick : well , maybe she 's starting to cool off , you know -- realize her mistakes.-maybe she just went out of town to get her head straight . summer : i do n't know . you know , actually , i 'm gon na call that spa that she wanted to take me to a while back , see if she 's there or -- i do n't know -- someplace like it . nick : all right . keep me posted . just do n't forget , the one thing your mother 's extremely good at is taking care of herself . summer : yeah . thanks . nick : bye . adam : [ clears throat ] i have to say , i 'm disappointed . i ca n't imagine you have anything that i want . kevin : you 'd be surprised . adam : all right , then , kevin . surprise me . devon : would you like to go to the club later and meet me for lunch ... elena : yes . devon : ... so you can tell me how well your interview went ? elena : that sounds great . devon : good . [ cellphone chimes ] elena : is that me or you ? devon : i think that 's you . what 's wrong ? elena : i just got ... an e - mail congratulating me on paying off my student - loan debt . devon : well , congratulations , then . it sounds like we have another reason to celebrate today . elena : you did this . there 's no one else in my life who could have . devon : i mean , if you -- if you 're feeling that way , yeah , maybe i did [ chuckling ] do it . elena : you think this is funny ? devon : are you upset that i did it ? elena : how do you not see how big of a problem this is ? that 's a massive amount of money , devon . devon : s - sure , elena . i 've been trying to pay things forward in life , though . you know that . elena : uh - huh . and when exactly did you decide to do this ? devon : i 've been thinking about doing it for a while . elena : for a while ? devon : yeah . elena : you know what ? it does n't even matter when you did it or why you did it . you acted without consulting me . you meddled with my -- my personal and private affairs without my knowledge or consent ? devon : elena , just -- elena : no . you need to call up that loan company and undo this . devon : i ca n't undo it . elena : why ca n't you ? devon : because , like you said , it 's a lot of money . you ca n't just call the company and say , `` i want it back . `` it does n't work that way . elena : so , i have no say ? so , you get to go behind my back and take over my finances without even asking me how i feel about it ? what the hell is wrong with you ? devon : i saw it as a burden that was holding you back , and i thought that you would be happy or at least relieved that i did it . elena : there is no way that you cold have possibly thought that . and if you did , you do not know me at all . devon : well , can i explain to you why i did it ? elena : no , because i 'm too upset to talk about it . nick : so , my brother , adam -- he has recently given me cause for concern that he may try and approach christian when i 'm not around , so i want you to be extra vigilant but not in a way that makes christian feel , you know , nervous or upset . monique : i understand . nick : cool . uh , i 've hired a new bodyguard . his name 's pete , but i do n't want you to refer to him as that , all right ? he 's just the driver , pete , and he will take you wherever you want to go , but just keep me apprised of where you 're at at all times , okay ? monique : you can count on me , mr . newman . nick : i know i can . thanks . i really hope all these extra precautions are overkill , but where my brother is concerned ... i ca n't afford to take any chances . adam : i presume you want to make some kind of deal . it 's amazing how many people who once despised you are willing to do business if the price is right . kevin : oh , i still despise you . adam : mm . thanks for the clarification . let 's get down to it , shall we ? this place is quickly losing its charm . kevin : all right . adam : so , what 's on the table ? kevin : not `` what . `` who ? adam : oh , you have some connection you think might be of use to me ? you hardly seem like the kind of person who has friends in high places , especially in genoa city . you do n't live here . kevin : well , i 've been back long enough to see how and where you spend your time ... who 's important to you . adam : if that was a threat , then you 're thinking about going after someone i care about . kevin : did you think she stopped coming around because she suddenly lost interest ? adam : `` she `` ? kevin : your new girlfriend . phyllis . adam : you have phyllis ? victor : i 'm very happy that you invited me to brunch today . nikki : well , i 'm glad to hear you say that , since i did have an ulterior motive getting you away from the office . victor : oh , yeah ? nikki : how much better do you feel right now ... while you 're relaxed , spending time with somebody who loves you ? i mean , should n't that tell you that it 's much better for your health to be away from the tension and stress of work ? victor : i know , but , sweetheart , how often have i told you i love to work and i love to make deals ? nikki : i know . i know . victor : i do . nikki : but , at the very least , you should cut back -- i mean , way back . give the treatment a chance to work . victor : i 'll take it under advisement . nikki : no , no , no . you 're not gon na put me off that easily , victor . this is very important . this could be a matter of life and death . victor : [ breathes deeply ] summer : yeah , no . i 'm just reaching out to anyone who might have heard from my mom . and i know that she 's upset with you , too . i just figured that since you guys have been friends for so long that she would have reached out to you . yeah , no . i know . um , thank you . just , yeah , if she talks to you or you see her , just let her know that i want to -- i want to speak to her , okay ? okay . thanks , lauren . bye . jack : hey , you all right ? summer : yeah . yeah . i 've , uh , just been trying to get in touch with my mom , but she 's giving me the silent treatment , so ... jack : that 's kind of a relief , after a string of public tirades these last few days . okay , i 'm sorry . i can see you 're upset . summer : i 'm not upset , exactly . jack : it is n't like phyllis to be incommunicado , and i know you 're concerned . summer : no , i - i just do n't get her lately . you know , she 's been so weird and desperate . jack : well , maybe this period of radio silence is her acknowledging that . maybe she realizes her behavior 's been inappropriate and she 's kind of embarrassed to face you . summer : well , i do n't know . i do n't think so . i think it 's just as likely that she 's still livid with me . jack : you did the right thing coming to me . you were protecting jabot collective and all of your hard work there from your mother 's scheming . summer : no , i know . i know . i - i would do it again . i just do n't -- i do n't think i ought to rat her out to my dad . jack : wait . what happened there ? summer : ohh . he blew up at my mom , and then she got back at him somehow with something , apparently , and -- i do n't know -- the whole thing just keeps escalating . jack : summer , look at me . you are not to blame for any of this . if anyone is , it 's adam . kevin : give the man a cigar . adam : i really hope for your sake you 're bluffing . kevin : i heard you were a big - time poker player in vegas . you ought to know better . adam : well , in that case , you have screwed yourself . phyllis is n't my girlfriend . we did a little business together , and she was my plus - one at a family event i crashed . that 's as far as it went . so , if you abducted her looking for a big payoff , i do n't know what to tell you , kev . her company 's not in high demand these days . kevin : this is n't about money . but you know that . i 'm looking for an even trade -- phyllis for chloe . adam : chloe ? chloe ? this is very confusing . i 've been told by many , many people that she died . kevin : yeah . just like you did . adam : if , in fact , she faked her death to avoid going to prison , i 'd guess she 'd be hiding out with you and your kid . kevin : you did n't guess . you tracked her down and had her kidnapped . and now you 're gon na give her back to me . `` the young and the restless `` will continue . elena : did n't think you 'd still be here . devon : yeah . well ... i was n't gon na leave without ... having a chance to explain things to you . elena : i 'm listening . devon : okay . to start , i did n't decide to help you because i have feelings for you . and you 're not obligated to keep dating me because i did what i did . elena : yeah . you 're right about that . devon : you know how i keep saying that i want to pay things forward in life ? do you know where i get that from ? elena : neil 's will . ana told me about the message he left for you . devon : yeah . it 's -- that 's -- that 's where it 's from . and in his message to me , um , in short ... he said that ... the best gift that you can ever give to another person is an opportunity in life . and i 've been on the other side of that because i had a very rough life before neil and his wife dru found me and adopted me . and then i had a grandmother who i never knew , but she accepted me , and then when she passed away , she left me all of her money , which set my life on a path that it would never have been on otherwise . and neil wants me to do that for other people , and i 've been doing it . before i helped you , i helped ana out . i helped jett . i helped my friend mariah . but way before neil passed away , i was paying for the school of this girl named shauna who hilary was mentoring . so , you know , people say that you ca n't buy happiness , but i do n't really agree with that because using what i have to give somebody an opportunity to do what they want to do with their life -- that makes me really happy , and that 's all i was trying to do with you , 'cause i know how much you can do with your medical career . elena : it 's not up to you to decide what i do with my life . devon : i - i 'm not trying to decide what you do with your life , but i thought by getting rid of your debt , it would let you be able to make whatever decision you wanted to make . i screwed up . i - i get that . and i really wish that i would have thought about it and thought about how it looked , 'cause it was n't me trying to control you or invade your privacy . that was the farthest thing from my mind . but i can see that you feel betrayed , and that makes me feel horrible . it was a gift . that 's all i wanted it to be , was a gift with no strings attached whatsoever , and if you 're that upset that you really want to leave and walk out of my life , you can do it , but i hope that you know that 's the last thing that i want you to do . elena : you know , i was upstairs , fuming ... packing my bags ... until it dawned on me ... i ca n't go anywhere because i do n't have a job yet . no income ... nowhere to go . this is exactly what i was talking about when i said i did n't want to be dependent on you ... or anyone . because you can do something like this that makes me feel so violated ... and patronized , and what can i do ? nothing . devon : i understand . i really do understand , and i really wish that i would have looked at things from your point of view , 'cause i promise you i would have done things very different . i am very , very sorry that i did this . i mean it . jack : still thinking about your mother ? summer : uh , no . adam , actually . you guys are friends , right ? jack : as hard as he makes it sometimes , yes . why ? summer : i mean , i do n't know . when he and mom walked in to society together , did you know that they had started hanging out ? jack : no . that was a surprise . summer : right ? jack : look , as much as i value my friendship with adam , i ca n't help but think he 's been a bad influence on your mother . i ca n't imagine it was her idea to disrupt victoria and billy 's event . summer : doubtful . jack : adam has an innate genius for knowing how to push people 's buttons . summer : mm . yeah . cosmic payback . seriously , after all those years of my mom telling me not to get involved with the wrong crowd and about peer pressure , now i 'm gon na have to give her that same lecture , assuming that i can even find her . [ groaning ] i do n't know . maybe i should ... talk to adam -- see if he 's seen her around . do you have his number handy ? adam : i did hire someone to find chloe , because a few weeks ago , she shot me ... as you 're no doubt aware . i wanted to make sure she was n't plotting her fourth attempt on my life . such a nasty habit she 's got . i could n't go to the police to help . they 'd never believe she was still alive . unfortunately , my search was unsuccessful . kevin : you 're lying . adam : my p.i . located the house you 've been staying with bella , but you had cleared out already . kevin : yeah . i moved them out as soon as i heard you were alive . we went into hiding , and now chloe 's disappeared , as you 're , no doubt , aware . adam : i am no happier about that than you are . i mean , i have to keep watching my back . kevin : i know she did n't leave us willingly . adam : where 's bella ? did you involve her in this sordid little crime spree ? kevin : i 'm gon na tell chloe 's kidnapper where our daughter is ? adam : okay , kevin . i think we 've wasted enough time together . [ clears throat ] kevin : you 're gon na give chloe back to me . adam : i do n't have her ... dude . and even if i did , that would mean i went through a lot of trouble and expense to get her . why would i let her go ? and do n't bother bringing up phyllis . i have no further use for the woman . do whatever you want with her . kevin : mm . your local fan club is going to be thrilled to hear you 're already committing crimes that can land you back in prison . adam : once again , you are not using the brains that god gave you . to even accuse me of kidnapping chloe , which i did n't do , you 'd have to admit she 's alive , that you 're harboring a fugitive , and that she 's guilty for attempted murder . again , i promise you the end result would be far worse for you two than for me . and then little bella would have to visit both her parents in the state pen . poor kid . that 's a tough break . [ cellphone chimes ] oh . someone who actually has something i want is ready to talk . good luck finding chloe . you two deserve each other . [ clears throat ] elena : i believe your heart was in the right place when you paid my loans off . devon : i appreciate you looking at it from my side . i just wish i would have done the same thing before i acted so impulsively . elena : so do i , 'cause i would have talked you out of it . then we would n't be in this situation now . [ sighs ] and if it 's true that you ca n't reverse the payment -- devon : i swear to you , i ca n't do it . elena : okay . then i 'll just have to figure something else out . the first thing i need to do is go to my interview and get the job so i can regain my financial independence . devon : yeah . i know that 's important to you . elena : and i 'm gon na negotiate a start date ... so that i can ... fly and join ana and jett on their tour . devon : why are you gon na do that ? elena : you just said i could walk out that door whenever i want . devon : i know i said that , but is that what you 're thinking of doing ? are you still planning to move ? elena : i do n't know yet . i just know that i need distance from this ... time to figure out if i can handle being in a relationship where the power differential is so extreme . devon : do you not think it 's a bit much , though ? 'cause you just said that you know that my intentions were good , and if you 're worried about what anybody else thinks , nobody has to know what i 've done for you . elena : okay , you 're -- you 're still not listening to me . you keep trying to explain this away or dismiss it . maybe you 're used to doing whatever you want and not getting any pushback . devon : no pushback ? have you met my sister before ? elena : ana 's on your payroll . i never wanted to be . and now , in some ways , i am , against my will . you put me in the most awkward situation , and you do n't get to tell me to just shut up about it . devon : no one 's trying to tell you to shut up about anything . i 've been trying to help you . that 's all i 've been trying to do , is help you , okay ? and if it makes me a bad guy trying to do that , i do n't know what more i can say . i really don't . i know i ca n't keep debating this with you 'cause i do have to get to work , but if you 're gon na take that trip , i hope you enjoy yourself , and i do hope i get to see you when you come back . summer : why wo n't you give me adam 's number ? i 'm just gon na ask him where mom is . i 'm not gon na let him mess with me . jack : that 's not the point . summer : okay . then what is the point ? jack : things are very tense between your father and adam right now . i think your father would like you to keep your distance from your uncle , and i 'm gon na respect that . i hate the way you are obsessing about your mother 's problems . you said earlier , you had joked , that you were parenting her ? the way i see it , there 's some truth to that , and i do n't think that 's right . summer : okay . well , i 'm -- i 'm it , jack . i 'm the only person that she can turn to anymore . jack : and what about you ? who do you have to turn to ? summer : i mean , i have dad ... and you . jack : you 've had some pretty impressive triumphs lately -- your work at jabot ... you saved lola 's life . summer : yeah . jack : you 've also had some pretty big disappointments . look , i know kyle 's father is n't the first person you want to talk to about the end of your marriage . summer : mm . yeah . i 'm -- i 'm dealing with it . and i think i 'm doing a ... pretty good job . jack : i think you are , too . i would n't argue with that at all . i just hate that you 're doing it without your mother 's support . i know phyllis , and she 's gon na look back on this time and regret that she was n't there for her daughter . summer : yeah , well , that 's all the more reason why i got to find her . adam : i hope this summons means you 've reconsidered yesterday 's decision . nick : i will not give up christian under any circumstances , even with dark horse on the line . adam : then what was the point in you bringing me over here ? nick : when 's the last time you talked to phyllis ? adam : she stopped by my place for a bit last night . why ? nick : well , i would really like to talk to her . i want to know how you convinced her to hack in to my corporate files . adam : i didn't . not that you 're paranoid or anything , nick . nick : well , she has n't returned my calls , or summer 's . she has n't posted anything on social media , and the last time anyone saw her , she was at your place waiting for you . adam : what are you saying , nick -- that i packed her off somewhere , told her to lay low till the heat was off ? nick : that 's the optimistic scenario . adam : hmm . you 've been watching too many true - crime shows . nick : really ? adam : i do n't know where phyllis is or what she 's doing , but it 's got nothing to do with me . nick : okay . if i find out differently , adam ... i will bring down a world of hurt on you . nikki : you wo n't even consider taking the afternoon off for me ? victor : sweetheart , i 'm just afraid that ... if i go home with you ... you wo n't let me leave again . nikki : well , would that be so awful ? victor : of course not , but i have so much to do here . you know , people are counting on me . nikki : well , i am counting on you , also , to be here a long , long time , so if that means that you need to take a rest after you 've had your treatments -- victor : i 'm fine , you know . i really feel fine . nikki : darling , you have taken leaves before -- recently , in fact . i mean , you left victoria in charge , and she did a magnificent job . victor : she did a damn good job . nikki : think about neil 's family and what they have had to endure . none of them , including neil , had any idea what was coming . but you , on the other hand , know exactly what you 're facing . darling , you owe it to your family to give this fight your full attention . victor : i take it under consideration . come here . nikki : all right . thank you . elena : [ sighs ] nate : elena . elena : hey , neighbor . nate : how are you today ? elena : i 'm ... good . how are you ? nate : overbooked . elena : just how you like it ? nate : [ chuckles ] i 'm just finishing up a house call . now off to the hospital . elena : oh . so am i , as it turns out . i have an interview with the chief of staff . nate : oh , russell davies ? elenaah . nate : i know him well . i think i 'm on his good side . elena : i bet you are . nate : hey , if you like , i 'd be more than happy to put in a good word for you . elena : that would be great . thank you . nate : after you . elena : thanks . summer : mom ? devon : hello ? ! hello , hello ! there 's nobody here . summer : thank you for letting me check . i know i must seem paranoid . my mom has n't been out of touch for that long . devon : yeah . no . i - i want to make sure that she 's okay , too . summer : thank you . i appreciate that . devon : i talked to housekeeping , and they said the bed has n't been slept in , so is there a chance that she stayed somewhere else last night , or ... ? summer : um ... you know what ? can i just take a look around , see if i can find a clue as to where she went -- a spa brochure ? devon : yeah , of course . please , please , take your time . summer : thank you . okay . devon : hmm ? summer : my mom 's makeup is still here and her creams and her serums and her toothbrush , and her suitcase is still here and ... devon : really ? summer : ... all of her clothes are here and there 's no empty hangers . devon : is there a chance that she crashed at a friend 's place ? summer : no . i called all of her friends , which is a pretty short list , and no one has seen or heard from her , so ... wait . hold on . wait . okay , these are my mom 's keys . no matter where she went , she would have never left without these . [ cellphone rings ] nick : hey , supergirl . what 's up ? summer : hey , dad . um , i 'm at mom 's room at the club , and something definitely has happened to her . adam : hey . it 's me . there 's been a change of plans . because kevin fisher is an idiot . that 's why . | at nick 's place summer fills him in on phyllis arriving with adam at society . summer is worried she can not reach her mother . nick wo n't give her details but tells summer that phyllis has made some huge problems for him . meanwhile adam receives an anonymous text that says i have something you want ' . adam agrees to meet . at devon 's , he and elena share a breakfast when elena tells him of her interview for that morning with the chief of staff at memorial . shortly after elena receives a text that her student loan has been paid off . elena realizes it was devon and is furious that he meddled in her life , but devon insists he was paying it forward as neil had asked . elena insists she feels violated and patronized . devon apologizes profusely and they hug . elena goes off to her interview . meanwhile nate arrives at victor 's office , where victor informs him that nikki will be joining them for his treatment . nate is happy he told nikki but victor corrects him and tells him nikki is not to know the full extend of his illness . | <s>[INST] [ previously_on ] victor : i have a rare blood disease . nikki : oh , my god . victor : i do n't want you to talk to anyone about this . nick : you won . you beat me . you bought dark horse right out from underneath me , and it was very clever . but , see , right now -- right now 's the time when you realize it does n't change anything . you do n't have any more control over me . it 's not gon na affect what i do or what i say or how i choose to raise my son . phyllis : can anyone hear me ? ! help ! nick : hey . thanks for helping me get christian squared away this morning . summer : yeah . oh , my god . he 's gon na have the best day . i 'm actually tempted to go hang out with him and monique at the splash park instead of going to work . nick : no kidding . i would think jabot 's the place to be right now , with the collective and all the positive press it 's getting . summer : yeah . yeah . it 's great . i love it . nick : that almost sounded convincing . summer : it shows , huh ? nick : what 's going on ? what 's wrong ? talk to me . summer : well , mom is what 's wrong , dad . you will not believe what she did to me . nick : try me . summer : well , jack decided to have a bash at his place to celebrate , and -- i do n't know -- somehow she found out about it , and she came barreling in , creating a scene , blasting everybody , including me , about being disloyal right in front of theo and this social - media influencer that we were hoping to sign . i mean , dad , it was beyond cringe - y . nick : i 'm sorry . your mom 's out of control right now . you must be furious . summer : yeah , i am . i am . but right now i 'm ... more worried than i am mad . devon : this fruit tastes extra good this morning for some reason . ca n't tell why . [ chuckles ] you know , ana called while you were in the kitchen . elena : yeah ? devon : mm - hmm . elena : what did she say ? devon : she said that everything was going smooth . they landed in detroit ataround midnight , and jett was able to get a good night 's sleep , and he is very excited to start his comeback tour . elena : i am so happy for him . devon : me , too . elena : it has me thinking , though . devon : what ? elena : do you think that part of the reason why ana joined jett on tour was because she wanted to give us some alone time , like maybe she could sense that we were getting closer ? devon : i have n't said anything to her . have you ? elena : we kind of dance around the subject . devon : mm - hmm . elena : [ chuckles ] devon : she 's not stupid , so , i mean , i 'm -- i 'm sure she 's noticed the way i look at you ... or the way you blush when you 're around me , just like you 're doing right now . elena : [ laughing ] stop . you 're making me feel self - conscious . devon : i 'm sorry . i do n't mean to do that . we can change the subject . what , uh -- what do you have going on for the rest of the day ? elena : hmm . remember those interviews that i had lined up ? devon : yes , i do . elena : well , i have a meeting with the chief of staff at memorial . devon : nice . elena : yeah . he wants to meet at 11 : 00 to go over a job in hospital administration . devon : wow ! elena : mm - hmm . devon : you 're gon na get that job on the spot . elena : would n't that be something ? devon : [ chuckles ] you 're not still thinking about moving out , though , are you ? elena : not after you made such a convincing argument for me to stay . nate : you ready for your check - up ? victor : yep . i got some news for you first . nate : okay . victor : nikki is going to join us , and i told her about my diagnosis , all right ? nate : very nice to hear . i 'll gladly answer -- victor : well , that 's what i want to talk to you about . uh , do n't go into details . um ... nate : okay . i hope you 're not asking me to lie to your wife . victor : no , no , no , no . i 'm not asking you to do that . nate : thank you . victor : in fact , i want you to tell her everything about my condition , about the disease , but since we just started treatment , um ... i do n't want you to scare her with , you know , possibly a negative outcome . nate : so , in other words , you have n't been candid about your prognosis ? victor : let me explain something to you , doc . i do n't give a damn how long the odds against me are . i 'm a fighter . i 'll defeat them . but there 's no sense in upsetting my wife unnecessarily . clear ? nate : [ sighs ] [ knock on door ] victor : come in ! nikki : oh ! victor : hi , sweetheart . nikki : hi . hell , nate . nate : nikki , how are you ? nikki : grateful that victor is in your care . i 'm reading everything i can on his pnh . seems like it might be hard to diagnose . nate : when a doctor hears hoofbeats , we 're trained to look for horses , not zebras . nikki : mm . nate : this is a zebra . nikki : well , it 's a good thing you found it as quickly as you did . i 'm hoping that that means the treatment is more likely to succeed . what do you think ? nate : [ sighs ] additional sponsorship devon : [ smooches ] well , i should probably go take a shower and get ready for my day . elena : need someone to help you scrub your back ? devon : yes . elena : oh . devon : i would love that . but then i do n't think we would ever leave the house . elena : mm , yeah . maybe we should n't risk it . devon : mm . elena : i do have that interview . and what would the chief of staff say if i did n't show up ? devon : well , i could write him a really nice note if you 'd like me to . elena : go . devon : yeah ? elena : i 'll clear the dishes . devon : okay . [ clears throat ] oh . the train left . [ chuckles ] elena : [ chuckles ] nikki : so , now that victor has begun treatment , what can we expect ? he does seem to be much more refreshed and relaxed than he has in a while . is it possible the treatment can work that fast , or am i just seeing what i want to see ? nate : well , it 's possible to notice an immediate effect . and if there is one , that tends to be a good sign . i 'll have a much clearer sense of things once the latest test results come back . nikki : when will that be ? nate : later this afternoon . victor : now , meanwhile , would you mind telling nikki to stop researching stuff on the internet ? nate : [ chuckles ] i can understand why nikki would want to get caught up quickly , given the fact that you 've been withholding information from her . but reading about worst - case scenarios can fuel anxiety , which would n't be helpful to either of you . nikki : so , are you saying i have nothing to worry about ? victor : no ! what the doctor is saying is that , you know , the statistics that you unearth on the internet -- i mean , they may be out of date , based on data and therapies that are long out of date . i mean , he 's administering cutting- edge therapy to me , you know ? it 's more than most patients get . nate : that 's right . that 's right . victor : thank you . nate : well , i will be back once i have more information for you , good or bad . victor : thank you , nate . nikki : yes , thank you so much . nate : i 'll keep in touch . victor : yep . nate : no worries . [ door opens , closes ] victor : so , does that reassure you a little ? nikki : um , yes , um ... kind of . it , uh ... really has convinced me that the kids need to know what 's going on . i mean , now is the time when everybody needs to pull together to support you . victor : yeah , but what i 'm afraid of is that the news of my disease is going to increase the animosity between adam and our other children . so ... i 'm not looking forward to that . but ... i 'm so happy that i have your love , my baby . nikki : oh , darling . victor : and you by my side , fighting this . nikki : of course . victor : okay ? nikki : i will be here for anything you need . summer : okay , wait . so , you were n't able to get ahold of her , either ? nick : not that i expect your mother to return any of my calls , but if she did hear my messages , she knows i 'm pissed . summer : well , i 'm surprised you felt the need to chew her out more after the fight you guys had at society . nick : since then , i have found out something else she has done . and , no , i 'm not gon na tell you what it is , but your mother has caused me a very serious problem , and i 'm just trying to figure out a way to solve it . summer : god . she just keeps digging herself into a deeper and deeper hole . it 's like she 's trying to alienate the last few people who care about her . nick : well , maybe she 's starting to cool off , you know -- realize her mistakes.-maybe she just went out of town to get her head straight . summer : i do n't know . you know , actually , i 'm gon na call that spa that she wanted to take me to a while back , see if she 's there or -- i do n't know -- someplace like it . nick : all right . keep me posted . just do n't forget , the one thing your mother 's extremely good at is taking care of herself . summer : yeah . thanks . nick : bye . adam : [ clears throat ] i have to say , i 'm disappointed . i ca n't imagine you have anything that i want . kevin : you 'd be surprised . adam : all right , then , kevin . surprise me . devon : would you like to go to the club later and meet me for lunch ... elena : yes . devon : ... so you can tell me how well your interview went ? elena : that sounds great . devon : good . [ cellphone chimes ] elena : is that me or you ? devon : i think that 's you . what 's wrong ? elena : i just got ... an e - mail congratulating me on paying off my student - loan debt . devon : well , congratulations , then . it sounds like we have another reason to celebrate today . elena : you did this . there 's no one else in my life who could have . devon : i mean , if you -- if you 're feeling that way , yeah , maybe i did [ chuckling ] do it . elena : you think this is funny ? devon : are you upset that i did it ? elena : how do you not see how big of a problem this is ? that 's a massive amount of money , devon . devon : s - sure , elena . i 've been trying to pay things forward in life , though . you know that . elena : uh - huh . and when exactly did you decide to do this ? devon : i 've been thinking about doing it for a while . elena : for a while ? devon : yeah . elena : you know what ? it does n't even matter when you did it or why you did it . you acted without consulting me . you meddled with my -- my personal and private affairs without my knowledge or consent ? devon : elena , just -- elena : no . you need to call up that loan company and undo this . devon : i ca n't undo it . elena : why ca n't you ? devon : because , like you said , it 's a lot of money . you ca n't just call the company and say , `` i want it back . `` it does n't work that way . elena : so , i have no say ? so , you get to go behind my back and take over my finances without even asking me how i feel about it ? what the hell is wrong with you ? devon : i saw it as a burden that was holding you back , and i thought that you would be happy or at least relieved that i did it . elena : there is no way that you cold have possibly thought that . and if you did , you do not know me at all . devon : well , can i explain to you why i did it ? elena : no , because i 'm too upset to talk about it . nick : so , my brother , adam -- he has recently given me cause for concern that he may try and approach christian when i 'm not around , so i want you to be extra vigilant but not in a way that makes christian feel , you know , nervous or upset . monique : i understand . nick : cool . uh , i 've hired a new bodyguard . his name 's pete , but i do n't want you to refer to him as that , all right ? he 's just the driver , pete , and he will take you wherever you want to go , but just keep me apprised of where you 're at at all times , okay ? monique : you can count on me , mr . newman . nick : i know i can . thanks . i really hope all these extra precautions are overkill , but where my brother is concerned ... i ca n't afford to take any chances . adam : i presume you want to make some kind of deal . it 's amazing how many people who once despised you are willing to do business if the price is right . kevin : oh , i still despise you . adam : mm . thanks for the clarification . let 's get down to it , shall we ? this place is quickly losing its charm . kevin : all right . adam : so , what 's on the table ? kevin : not `` what . `` who ? adam : oh , you have some connection you think might be of use to me ? you hardly seem like the kind of person who has friends in high places , especially in genoa city . you do n't live here . kevin : well , i 've been back long enough to see how and where you spend your time ... who 's important to you . adam : if that was a threat , then you 're thinking about going after someone i care about . kevin : did you think she stopped coming around because she suddenly lost interest ? adam : `` she `` ? kevin : your new girlfriend . phyllis . adam : you have phyllis ? victor : i 'm very happy that you invited me to brunch today . nikki : well , i 'm glad to hear you say that , since i did have an ulterior motive getting you away from the office . victor : oh , yeah ? nikki : how much better do you feel right now ... while you 're relaxed , spending time with somebody who loves you ? i mean , should n't that tell you that it 's much better for your health to be away from the tension and stress of work ? victor : i know , but , sweetheart , how often have i told you i love to work and i love to make deals ? nikki : i know . i know . victor : i do . nikki : but , at the very least , you should cut back -- i mean , way back . give the treatment a chance to work . victor : i 'll take it under advisement . nikki : no , no , no . you 're not gon na put me off that easily , victor . this is very important . this could be a matter of life and death . victor : [ breathes deeply ] summer : yeah , no . i 'm just reaching out to anyone who might have heard from my mom . and i know that she 's upset with you , too . i just figured that since you guys have been friends for so long that she would have reached out to you . yeah , no . i know . um , thank you . just , yeah , if she talks to you or you see her , just let her know that i want to -- i want to speak to her , okay ? okay . thanks , lauren . bye . jack : hey , you all right ? summer : yeah . yeah . i 've , uh , just been trying to get in touch with my mom , but she 's giving me the silent treatment , so ... jack : that 's kind of a relief , after a string of public tirades these last few days . okay , i 'm sorry . i can see you 're upset . summer : i 'm not upset , exactly . jack : it is n't like phyllis to be incommunicado , and i know you 're concerned . summer : no , i - i just do n't get her lately . you know , she 's been so weird and desperate . jack : well , maybe this period of radio silence is her acknowledging that . maybe she realizes her behavior 's been inappropriate and she 's kind of embarrassed to face you . summer : well , i do n't know . i do n't think so . i think it 's just as likely that she 's still livid with me . jack : you did the right thing coming to me . you were protecting jabot collective and all of your hard work there from your mother 's scheming . summer : no , i know . i know . i - i would do it again . i just do n't -- i do n't think i ought to rat her out to my dad . jack : wait . what happened there ? summer : ohh . he blew up at my mom , and then she got back at him somehow with something , apparently , and -- i do n't know -- the whole thing just keeps escalating . jack : summer , look at me . you are not to blame for any of this . if anyone is , it 's adam . kevin : give the man a cigar . adam : i really hope for your sake you 're bluffing . kevin : i heard you were a big - time poker player in vegas . you ought to know better . adam : well , in that case , you have screwed yourself . phyllis is n't my girlfriend . we did a little business together , and she was my plus - one at a family event i crashed . that 's as far as it went . so , if you abducted her looking for a big payoff , i do n't know what to tell you , kev . her company 's not in high demand these days . kevin : this is n't about money . but you know that . i 'm looking for an even trade -- phyllis for chloe . adam : chloe ? chloe ? this is very confusing . i 've been told by many , many people that she died . kevin : yeah . just like you did . adam : if , in fact , she faked her death to avoid going to prison , i 'd guess she 'd be hiding out with you and your kid . kevin : you did n't guess . you tracked her down and had her kidnapped . and now you 're gon na give her back to me . `` the young and the restless `` will continue . elena : did n't think you 'd still be here . devon : yeah . well ... i was n't gon na leave without ... having a chance to explain things to you . elena : i 'm listening . devon : okay . to start , i did n't decide to help you because i have feelings for you . and you 're not obligated to keep dating me because i did what i did . elena : yeah . you 're right about that . devon : you know how i keep saying that i want to pay things forward in life ? do you know where i get that from ? elena : neil 's will . ana told me about the message he left for you . devon : yeah . it 's -- that 's -- that 's where it 's from . and in his message to me , um , in short ... he said that ... the best gift that you can ever give to another person is an opportunity in life . and i 've been on the other side of that because i had a very rough life before neil and his wife dru found me and adopted me . and then i had a grandmother who i never knew , but she accepted me , and then when she passed away , she left me all of her money , which set my life on a path that it would never have been on otherwise . and neil wants me to do that for other people , and i 've been doing it . before i helped you , i helped ana out . i helped jett . i helped my friend mariah . but way before neil passed away , i was paying for the school of this girl named shauna who hilary was mentoring . so , you know , people say that you ca n't buy happiness , but i do n't really agree with that because using what i have to give somebody an opportunity to do what they want to do with their life -- that makes me really happy , and that 's all i was trying to do with you , 'cause i know how much you can do with your medical career . elena : it 's not up to you to decide what i do with my life . devon : i - i 'm not trying to decide what you do with your life , but i thought by getting rid of your debt , it would let you be able to make whatever decision you wanted to make . i screwed up . i - i get that . and i really wish that i would have thought about it and thought about how it looked , 'cause it was n't me trying to control you or invade your privacy . that was the farthest thing from my mind . but i can see that you feel betrayed , and that makes me feel horrible . it was a gift . that 's all i wanted it to be , was a gift with no strings attached whatsoever , and if you 're that upset that you really want to leave and walk out of my life , you can do it , but i hope that you know that 's the last thing that i want you to do . elena : you know , i was upstairs , fuming ... packing my bags ... until it dawned on me ... i ca n't go anywhere because i do n't have a job yet . no income ... nowhere to go . this is exactly what i was talking about when i said i did n't want to be dependent on you ... or anyone . because you can do something like this that makes me feel so violated ... and patronized , and what can i do ? nothing . devon : i understand . i really do understand , and i really wish that i would have looked at things from your point of view , 'cause i promise you i would have done things very different . i am very , very sorry that i did this . i mean it . jack : still thinking about your mother ? summer : uh , no . adam , actually . you guys are friends , right ? jack : as hard as he makes it sometimes , yes . why ? summer : i mean , i do n't know . when he and mom walked in to society together , did you know that they had started hanging out ? jack : no . that was a surprise . summer : right ? jack : look , as much as i value my friendship with adam , i ca n't help but think he 's been a bad influence on your mother . i ca n't imagine it was her idea to disrupt victoria and billy 's event . summer : doubtful . jack : adam has an innate genius for knowing how to push people 's buttons . summer : mm . yeah . cosmic payback . seriously , after all those years of my mom telling me not to get involved with the wrong crowd and about peer pressure , now i 'm gon na have to give her that same lecture , assuming that i can even find her . [ groaning ] i do n't know . maybe i should ... talk to adam -- see if he 's seen her around . do you have his number handy ? adam : i did hire someone to find chloe , because a few weeks ago , she shot me ... as you 're no doubt aware . i wanted to make sure she was n't plotting her fourth attempt on my life . such a nasty habit she 's got . i could n't go to the police to help . they 'd never believe she was still alive . unfortunately , my search was unsuccessful . kevin : you 're lying . adam : my p.i . located the house you 've been staying with bella , but you had cleared out already . kevin : yeah . i moved them out as soon as i heard you were alive . we went into hiding , and now chloe 's disappeared , as you 're , no doubt , aware . adam : i am no happier about that than you are . i mean , i have to keep watching my back . kevin : i know she did n't leave us willingly . adam : where 's bella ? did you involve her in this sordid little crime spree ? kevin : i 'm gon na tell chloe 's kidnapper where our daughter is ? adam : okay , kevin . i think we 've wasted enough time together . [ clears throat ] kevin : you 're gon na give chloe back to me . adam : i do n't have her ... dude . and even if i did , that would mean i went through a lot of trouble and expense to get her . why would i let her go ? and do n't bother bringing up phyllis . i have no further use for the woman . do whatever you want with her . kevin : mm . your local fan club is going to be thrilled to hear you 're already committing crimes that can land you back in prison . adam : once again , you are not using the brains that god gave you . to even accuse me of kidnapping chloe , which i did n't do , you 'd have to admit she 's alive , that you 're harboring a fugitive , and that she 's guilty for attempted murder . again , i promise you the end result would be far worse for you two than for me . and then little bella would have to visit both her parents in the state pen . poor kid . that 's a tough break . [ cellphone chimes ] oh . someone who actually has something i want is ready to talk . good luck finding chloe . you two deserve each other . [ clears throat ] elena : i believe your heart was in the right place when you paid my loans off . devon : i appreciate you looking at it from my side . i just wish i would have done the same thing before i acted so impulsively . elena : so do i , 'cause i would have talked you out of it . then we would n't be in this situation now . [ sighs ] and if it 's true that you ca n't reverse the payment -- devon : i swear to you , i ca n't do it . elena : okay . then i 'll just have to figure something else out . the first thing i need to do is go to my interview and get the job so i can regain my financial independence . devon : yeah . i know that 's important to you . elena : and i 'm gon na negotiate a start date ... so that i can ... fly and join ana and jett on their tour . devon : why are you gon na do that ? elena : you just said i could walk out that door whenever i want . devon : i know i said that , but is that what you 're thinking of doing ? are you still planning to move ? elena : i do n't know yet . i just know that i need distance from this ... time to figure out if i can handle being in a relationship where the power differential is so extreme . devon : do you not think it 's a bit much , though ? 'cause you just said that you know that my intentions were good , and if you 're worried about what anybody else thinks , nobody has to know what i 've done for you . elena : okay , you 're -- you 're still not listening to me . you keep trying to explain this away or dismiss it . maybe you 're used to doing whatever you want and not getting any pushback . devon : no pushback ? have you met my sister before ? elena : ana 's on your payroll . i never wanted to be . and now , in some ways , i am , against my will . you put me in the most awkward situation , and you do n't get to tell me to just shut up about it . devon : no one 's trying to tell you to shut up about anything . i 've been trying to help you . that 's all i 've been trying to do , is help you , okay ? and if it makes me a bad guy trying to do that , i do n't know what more i can say . i really don't . i know i ca n't keep debating this with you 'cause i do have to get to work , but if you 're gon na take that trip , i hope you enjoy yourself , and i do hope i get to see you when you come back . summer : why wo n't you give me adam 's number ?
