[ precious shrieks ] sheridan : well , when i left earlier , when martin called to tell me that my mother was leaving on the crane jet , it turns out that rebecca stowed gwen away on the same jet with theresa 's baby . beth : they left harmony , too ? sheridan : yes . my mother , gwen , theresa 's baby -- they 're all gone . and the note that my mother left said that she was leaving for good and she did n't want to come between luis and me . beth : hmm . so that 's what the fight was about ? sheridan : well , this is all luis ' fault . i mean , he 's always blamed my mother for making it seem like she 's the reason that his father walked out on his family all those years ago . and what luis does n't understand is that i love my mother no matter what , and i 've always felt like he 's been making me choose between the two of them . beth : hmm . sheridan : and my mother felt that same way , and so that 's why she 's left . i 'm just -- i 'm so angry at luis . i still am . beth : yeah , gosh , i just hate -- i hate it that you and luis are having problems . sheridan : thank you for being so understanding . beth : oh -- sheridan : i mean , you , your mother , and precious . mrs. wallace : well , you know what precious and i always say -- beth will kill you with kindness ! sheridan : thank you for being such a great friend to both luis and me . mrs. wallace 's voice : `` fiend `` is more like it . sheridan : i really need your advice . beth : oh -- um -- no . i do n't want to make a bad situation worse . sheridan : trust me , beth , things could not get any worse between luis and me . beth : well , ok . sheridan : so what should i do ? i mean , should i give up on having a relationship with my mother so i can have one with luis , or should i just tell luis to get over it or get lost ? please , help me . what should i do ? mrs. wallace : that 's like asking the devil himself for advice , huh ? [ scene_break ] luis : i can almost understand sheridan wanting her mother back in her life , but what i do n't understand is , how did sheridan expect me to handle it ? you know , katherine ruined sheridan 's childhood , not to mention the fact that she dragged papa away from our family . pilar : i know . es la verdad , mijo . that 's where forgiveness comes in . we have to practice what the church teaches us . luis : yeah , but are n't some things unforgivable , like what papa and katherine did ? pilar : buenos , luis , everyone makes mistakes and everyone deserves a second chance , especially if they regret what they 've done . luis : then count out papa and katherine because they 've been making the same mistake every day for years . pilar : but they obviously regret it now . luis : maybe . pilar : your father has tried to make amends , luis . he wants us back in his life . he wants to do whatever it takes to win us back . luis : i do n't care . i do n't want to have anything to do with him . pilar : you 're angry -- you are angry at your father because you do n't approve of what he did , right ? just like you 're angry with sheridan because you do n't approve of her loving her mother after what her mother did . but love , mijo , love means offering forgiveness and understanding when it 's really hard to . luis : so you 're talking about me and sheridan now or you and papa ? pilar : both . your father told me that if it were n't for katherine , we 'd be together right now , we 'd be a family . luis : ok , so , what , now that katherine 's gone , you 're just willing to forgive papa for everything that he 's done to us ? pilar : i 'm willing to try . [ scene_break ] beth : you know , before i give you any advice , i really need to know exactly what you said to luis . sheridan : oh , it 's too horrible to repeat . all i can say is that it was the worst fight that we 've ever had . i mean , i still ca n't believe how dismissive luis was about my feelings to my mother . i mean , he knows how hard it was for me when my mother died and how difficult it was for me to grow up without her , and then to have her back -- i mean , luis all but ordered me to stay away from her . i do n't know , is it just me ? it just does n't seem fair to me . am i wrong for wanting to have my mother in my life ? beth : you know , sheridan , you and luis are both my friends . maybe i should just keep my opinions to myself . sheridan : beth , really , anything you say will stay in my confidence . beth : promise ? sheridan : i promise . so what should i do ? should i stand my ground and risk losing luis ? or should i just promise to never see my mother again if she comes back to harmony ? mrs. wallace : oh , whatever beth says , sheridan should do the opposite . hey , looks like somebody 's been shopping ! [ scene_break ] julian : fox , chad , please just relax . eve simply misspoke . ivy : are you sure ? julian : well , yes . she was understandably upset because chad kept saying that he and whitney should be together . fox : chad , stop asking whitney to live with you , ok ? it 's weird . chad : never mind that right now . i want to know what my mother meant . eve : yes , i misspoke . i did n't mean to -- to say that whitney should n't risk having a second baby with chad . i did n't want to imply that chad was this baby 's father . i just meant that whitney should n't take the chance of having a second baby with chad because it would be horrible . ivy : oh , it would be ghastly . eve : and as everyone knows who was at the hospital , i already told you that fox is whitney 's baby 's father . tabitha : and eve would n't lie about that , now , would she , hmm ? fox : yeah , i 'm sure tabitha 's right . all this crazy talk from you has everybody reeling here . i 'm sure that 's why that you -- ahem -- misspoke , right ? whitney : exactly . fox : what the hell 's the matter with you , huh ? you still want to be with your sister ? chad : you know , it 's not just me . whitney wants to be with me , too . ask her if you do n't believe me . fox : huh , think i will . listen , we need to talk . whitney : um -- you know what , if i could just have a minute to myself . tonight has been so stressful . ok ? fox : right . fox : ok . you know ? ahem . as soon as whitney stops shaking from chad 's latest insanity , i 'll ask her to marry me again and all our problems will be solved , right ? ivy : yeah . tabitha : we have news for fox , do n't we , my little witchling ? even if whitney says yes to being his wife , their troubles wo n't be over by a long shot . oh , no . they 'll just simmer for a bit , and then they 'll finally ignite . [ scene_break ] luis : fine . you try and forgive papa for what he did to us , ok , because i ca n't . pilar : you ca n't or you wo n't ? luis : look , why are we even talking about him ? it 's sheridan that i 'm worried about . pilar : forgiveness , luis . martin wants ours and you want sheridan 's . luis : no , you ca n't compare the two . mama , nothing justifies a man running out on his family . pilar : well , we still do n't really know why he left . all he 's been able to tell us is that he had no other choice , luis . luis : all right , look , can we please just not get into that again ? pilar : i still think your father is trying to protect us , the same way he was when he left town . luis : how was leaving us protecting us , especially when he ran off with katherine ? pilar : i do n't know , mijo . but i have had time to deal with -- with the shock of your father 's return , with his new face , his unwavering devotion to us , and i am reassured that your father is still the good man he 's always been . i can see the pain in his eyes , luis , the torture that leaving us has caused him . and deep in my heart , when i look past the anger , past all the hurt , the upset , the unanswered questions , i know that your father left harmony to protect us , that for him to vanish without a trace really , truly was what was best for us , his family . luis : all right . you know what ? for the sake of argument , let 's say that that 's true . i still do n't understand how sheridan could defend her mother 's position to run off with another woman 's husband or how leaving sheridan at alistair 's mercy was somehow protecting her . [ scene_break ] sheridan : so , beth , what should i do ? i mean , you 're a woman . mrs. wallace 's voice : a nasty , crazy one . sheridan : what should i do about luis and my mother ? beth : you love luis , right ? sheridan : oh , god , yes . i love luis with all of my heart and soul . i just never thought i would ever meet a man as wonderful as him . you know , the way he holds me , you know , when i 'm in his arms , i just feel so safe and special . and , oh , god , the way that he makes love to me just -- oh . beth : ok , ok . you love your mother , too , right ? sheridan : oh , yes . i mean , i love my mother so much . i know that she made mistakes , but i buy that my father abused her to the point where she had to leave him the way that she did . you know , it was hard for me growing up without her . i always thought that she was dead . but now that i know that she 's alive , i just -- i want to make up for lost time . beth : yeah . i mean , the bond between a mother and daughter is just really special . mrs. wallace 's voice : yeah , in this house , it 's crazy glue . beth : and then look at luis and pilar . they 're really close . sheridan : and i think that 's wonderful . beth : well , so it 's ok , then , for luis to tell you you ca n't be close to your mother ? mrs. wallace : uh - oh . beth : i mean , if luis can tell you that you ca n't be close to katherine , i 'm sorry -- my opinion -- but i think you have every right to tell him that he ca n't ever see pilar again . [ scene_break ] luis : look , you want to forgive papa , you can , ok ? but i ca n't . because i remember the pain that you went through when he disappeared , and -- you suffered . pilar : all right , so then what you 're saying is that you wish your father had never left us ? luis : of course ! of course i wish he 'd never left us . pilar : so that 's where your anger comes from ? you hate that your life is not what it could have been had your father stayed ? luis : look , mama , nothing good came from papa leaving us , ok , nothing . and that 's why i still hate him . pilar : what if something good did come from your father 's absence ? would you forgive him then ? [ scene_break ] sheridan : i ca n't tell luis to never see pilar again . beth : but it 's ok for luis to tell you that you ca n't see your mother ? sheridan : well , that 's just different , you know ? pilar has never been anything but good to luis . she 's never hurt him the way that my mother has hurt me . and not only did i have to suffer in her absence , but luis blames her for luring his father into disappearing with her , leaving his family high and dry . beth : wow . seems like you 've already decided that you 're going to do what luis wants and agree never to see your mother again , so -- sheridan : what ? beth : do you want me to drive you back to the cottage so you can see luis and tell him he was right and you were wrong ? sheridan : no , no , beth , that 's not what i mean . i 'm not saying that i agree with luis . i 'm just saying that his relationship with his mother is far different than mine with my mother . beth : oh , ok . so you do want to be close to your mother , despite what luis wants ? sheridan : yes , i mean , i love my mother , but at the same time , what if she never comes back to harmony ? what if i never see her again ? then the whole point becomes moot . beth : what if she does come back ? what if she calls you , wants to meet you someplace ? sheridan : i guess i had n't considered that . beth : nothing 's really solved if you do n't . sheridan : what should i do ? beth : well , you asked me for my advice , ok , so i 'm going to give it to you . mrs. wallace : here we go . beth : like i said , the bond between a mother and a child is super strong , like you and your mother , like luis and his mother , me and my mother . mrs. wallace : it 's a good thing that beth is not attached to a lie - detector . sheridan : thank you , officer simian . well , ms. wallace , are you ready to begin ? beth : yes . i have no reason to lie . sheridan : very well . did you hide the gin ? beth : ok . yes , i hid the gin . sheridan : all right . are you a good fake mother to marty ? beth : yes . sheridan : all right . are you a scheming psycho who lives to hurt me ? beth : no . mrs. wallace : i wonder where beth did hide that gin . beth : i mean , if someone tried to stop me from being close to my mother , i would have to assume that they did n't love me enough to want me to be happy . sheridan : i just do n't think that luis is like that . beth : i 'm sorry , i hate to say it , but you have to . sheridan , luis says he loves you , but now he 's going to make you choose between him and katherine ? look , there 's only one thing you can do . sheridan : what ? beth : you can never see luis again . [ scene_break ] julian : for the last time , son , living together with your sister as a couple is wrong . chad : we 'd be platonic . julian : well , initially , perhaps , but as father lonigan said , eventually the desire to be together as a man and a woman would win out . chad : father lonigan is celibate . i will be , too . julian : father lonigan is not in love with a woman , chad . you are -- your sister -- and it 's wrong . chad : no , what 's wrong is being kept away from the woman i love by people who do n't understand that whitney is the one who 's in love with me . [ scene_break ] whitney : look , i know what a mess this whole thing is , and thank you for covering for me again . eve : whitney , we ca n't keep this a secret forever . sooner or later , fox and chad are going to find out that chad is the father of your baby . whitney : they can never find out . eve : never say never , whitney . this baby will probably be born with a host of health problems related to incest , if it even comes to term since you do n't eat and you do n't take your vitamins . whitney : ok , i do n't want to think about that right now , ok ? look , fox is going to ask me to marry him again . what do i do ? eve : well , you ca n't be with chad . i mean , there 's no way for you to justify taking a baby that 's supposedly fox 's and raising it with your brother . whitney , no . tabitha : it 's a pity conjuring togas would give us away as witches . how better to watch a modern - day greek tragedy at its most dramatic moment , huh ? fox : whitney , ok if we talk now ? whitney : yes , yes , of course . fox : ahem . all right , so anyway , this really is n't what i had in mind , you know , with everybody watching , so -- tabitha : oh , never mind us , dear . fox : thank you , tabitha , that 's nice . uh -- ahem . anyway , whitney , you know , with chad pushing himself on you and everything , i wanted to -- well , what i planned on doing was coming over here and making my case and then just asking you to do what you want . i just -- i just love you . i just do . and ever since that night i heard you singing at the blue note , i fell in love with you . and i 've tried to ask myself why you , why me , why us . i do n't know . i do n't know the answers to that . i just know that to me , you 're perfect . so , i 'm going to get down on my knees and i 'm going to ask you one more time . will you do me the honor of being my wife ? will you marry me ? just say yes .

[ scene_break ] sheridan : beth , i could never not see luis again . mrs. wallace : this is why beth never wrote an advice column . beth : look , i know what i 'm suggesting -- it 's extreme , and i would never totally expect you to , you know , not see luis , but you 've got to get your own life with your own friends , people who love you whether luis approves of them or not . sheridan : you 're right . and i appreciate your honesty . which is why i have to be honest with you now , because there 's still one person that i want to have in my life that is a problem for both you and luis . beth : oh ? mrs. wallace : who ? sheridan : marty . i still ca n't stop thinking that he is my little boy . and i 'm so sorry , i 've tried , but i just ca n't stop thinking of him that way . beth 's voice : so much for letting you live . beth : well , i know you 've had a really hard time , losing your baby and antonio , your mother . sheridan : yeah , it 's been really hard . and , you know , i know that luis keeps telling me that marty is your son and that i should believe him , but there are just times that i ca n't . i 'm sorry . and you , beth , i mean , all the times that i 've accused you of stealing my baby -- can you ever forgive me ? beth : yeah . of course i 'll forgive you . sheridan : thank you . thank you for being so kind and understanding . beth : oh , i 'm just glad to help . sheridan : you have , believe me . beth : what are you doing ? sheridan : i 'm going to call luis . i 'm going to tell him i want to get things back on track , that i do n't want to fight anymore . you know , i just love luis so much , and i ca n't stand the thought of spending one night away from him . beth : no , you ca n't call luis . sheridan : why , beth ? why ca n't i call luis ?

[ precious shrieks ] sheridan : well , when i left earlier , when martin called to tell me that my mother was leaving on the crane jet , it turns out that rebecca stowed gwen away on the same jet with theresa 's baby . beth : they left harmony , too ? sheridan : yes . my mother , gwen , theresa 's baby -- they 're all gone . and the note that my mother left said that she was leaving for good and she did n't want to come between luis and me . beth : hmm . so that 's what the fight was about ? sheridan : well , this is all luis ' fault . i mean , he 's always blamed my mother for making it seem like she 's the reason that his father walked out on his family all those years ago . and what luis does n't understand is that i love my mother no matter what , and i 've always felt like he 's been making me choose between the two of them . beth : hmm . sheridan : and my mother felt that same way , and so that 's why she 's left . i 'm just -- i 'm so angry at luis . i still am . beth : yeah , gosh , i just hate -- i hate it that you and luis are having problems . sheridan : thank you for being so understanding . beth : oh -- sheridan : i mean , you , your mother , and precious . mrs. wallace : well , you know what precious and i always say -- beth will kill you with kindness ! sheridan : thank you for being such a great friend to both luis and me . mrs. wallace 's voice : `` fiend `` is more like it . sheridan : i really need your advice . beth : oh -- um -- no . i do n't want to make a bad situation worse . sheridan : trust me , beth , things could not get any worse between luis and me . beth : well , ok . sheridan : so what should i do ? i mean , should i give up on having a relationship with my mother so i can have one with luis , or should i just tell luis to get over it or get lost ? please , help me . what should i do ? mrs. wallace : that 's like asking the devil himself for advice , huh ? [ scene_break ] luis : i can almost understand sheridan wanting her mother back in her life , but what i do n't understand is , how did sheridan expect me to handle it ? you know , katherine ruined sheridan 's childhood , not to mention the fact that she dragged papa away from our family . pilar : i know . es la verdad , mijo . that 's where forgiveness comes in . we have to practice what the church teaches us . luis : yeah , but are n't some things unforgivable , like what papa and katherine did ? pilar : buenos , luis , everyone makes mistakes and everyone deserves a second chance , especially if they regret what they 've done . luis : then count out papa and katherine because they 've been making the same mistake every day for years . pilar : but they obviously regret it now . luis : maybe . pilar : your father has tried to make amends , luis . he wants us back in his life . he wants to do whatever it takes to win us back . luis : i do n't care . i do n't want to have anything to do with him . pilar : you 're angry -- you are angry at your father because you do n't approve of what he did , right ? just like you 're angry with sheridan because you do n't approve of her loving her mother after what her mother did . but love , mijo , love means offering forgiveness and understanding when it 's really hard to . luis : so you 're talking about me and sheridan now or you and papa ? pilar : both . your father told me that if it were n't for katherine , we 'd be together right now , we 'd be a family . luis : ok , so , what , now that katherine 's gone , you 're just willing to forgive papa for everything that he 's done to us ? pilar : i 'm willing to try . [ scene_break ] beth : you know , before i give you any advice , i really need to know exactly what you said to luis . sheridan : oh , it 's too horrible to repeat . all i can say is that it was the worst fight that we 've ever had . i mean , i still ca n't believe how dismissive luis was about my feelings to my mother . i mean , he knows how hard it was for me when my mother died and how difficult it was for me to grow up without her , and then to have her back -- i mean , luis all but ordered me to stay away from her . i do n't know , is it just me ? it just does n't seem fair to me . am i wrong for wanting to have my mother in my life ? beth : you know , sheridan , you and luis are both my friends . maybe i should just keep my opinions to myself . sheridan : beth , really , anything you say will stay in my confidence . beth : promise ? sheridan : i promise . so what should i do ? should i stand my ground and risk losing luis ? or should i just promise to never see my mother again if she comes back to harmony ? mrs. wallace : oh , whatever beth says , sheridan should do the opposite . hey , looks like somebody 's been shopping !

[ scene_break ] luis : fine . you try and forgive papa for what he did to us , ok , because i ca n't . pilar : you ca n't or you wo n't ? luis : look , why are we even talking about him ? it 's sheridan that i 'm worried about . pilar : forgiveness , luis . martin wants ours and you want sheridan 's . luis : no , you ca n't compare the two . mama , nothing justifies a man running out on his family . pilar : well , we still do n't really know why he left . all he 's been able to tell us is that he had no other choice , luis . luis : all right , look , can we please just not get into that again ? pilar : i still think your father is trying to protect us , the same way he was when he left town . luis : how was leaving us protecting us , especially when he ran off with katherine ? pilar : i do n't know , mijo . but i have had time to deal with -- with the shock of your father 's return , with his new face , his unwavering devotion to us , and i am reassured that your father is still the good man he 's always been . i can see the pain in his eyes , luis , the torture that leaving us has caused him . and deep in my heart , when i look past the anger , past all the hurt , the upset , the unanswered questions , i know that your father left harmony to protect us , that for him to vanish without a trace really , truly was what was best for us , his family . luis : all right . you know what ? for the sake of argument , let 's say that that 's true . i still do n't understand how sheridan could defend her mother 's position to run off with another woman 's husband or how leaving sheridan at alistair 's mercy was somehow protecting her . [ scene_break ] sheridan : so , beth , what should i do ? i mean , you 're a woman . mrs. wallace 's voice : a nasty , crazy one . sheridan : what should i do about luis and my mother ? beth : you love luis , right ? sheridan : oh , god , yes . i love luis with all of my heart and soul . i just never thought i would ever meet a man as wonderful as him . you know , the way he holds me , you know , when i 'm in his arms , i just feel so safe and special . and , oh , god , the way that he makes love to me just -- oh . beth : ok , ok . you love your mother , too , right ? sheridan : oh , yes . i mean , i love my mother so much . i know that she made mistakes , but i buy that my father abused her to the point where she had to leave him the way that she did . you know , it was hard for me growing up without her . i always thought that she was dead . but now that i know that she 's alive , i just -- i want to make up for lost time . beth : yeah . i mean , the bond between a mother and daughter is just really special . mrs. wallace 's voice : yeah , in this house , it 's crazy glue . beth : and then look at luis and pilar . they 're really close . sheridan : and i think that 's wonderful . beth : well , so it 's ok , then , for luis to tell you you ca n't be close to your mother ? mrs. wallace : uh - oh . beth : i mean , if luis can tell you that you ca n't be close to katherine , i 'm sorry -- my opinion -- but i think you have every right to tell him that he ca n't ever see pilar again . [ scene_break ] luis : look , you want to forgive papa , you can , ok ? but i ca n't . because i remember the pain that you went through when he disappeared , and -- you suffered . pilar : all right , so then what you 're saying is that you wish your father had never left us ? luis : of course ! of course i wish he 'd never left us . pilar : so that 's where your anger comes from ? you hate that your life is not what it could have been had your father stayed ? luis : look , mama , nothing good came from papa leaving us , ok , nothing . and that 's why i still hate him . pilar : what if something good did come from your father 's absence ? would you forgive him then ? [ scene_break ] sheridan : i ca n't tell luis to never see pilar again . beth : but it 's ok for luis to tell you that you ca n't see your mother ? sheridan : well , that 's just different , you know ? pilar has never been anything but good to luis . she 's never hurt him the way that my mother has hurt me . and not only did i have to suffer in her absence , but luis blames her for luring his father into disappearing with her , leaving his family high and dry . beth : wow . seems like you 've already decided that you 're going to do what luis wants and agree never to see your mother again , so -- sheridan : what ? beth : do you want me to drive you back to the cottage so you can see luis and tell him he was right and you were wrong ? sheridan : no , no , beth , that 's not what i mean . i 'm not saying that i agree with luis . i 'm just saying that his relationship with his mother is far different than mine with my mother . beth : oh , ok . so you do want to be close to your mother , despite what luis wants ? sheridan : yes , i mean , i love my mother , but at the same time , what if she never comes back to harmony ? what if i never see her again ? then the whole point becomes moot . beth : what if she does come back ? what if she calls you , wants to meet you someplace ? sheridan : i guess i had n't considered that . beth : nothing 's really solved if you do n't . sheridan : what should i do ? beth : well , you asked me for my advice , ok , so i 'm going to give it to you . mrs. wallace : here we go . beth : like i said , the bond between a mother and a child is super strong , like you and your mother , like luis and his mother , me and my mother . mrs. wallace : it 's a good thing that beth is not attached to a lie - detector . sheridan : thank you , officer simian . well , ms. wallace , are you ready to begin ? beth : yes . i have no reason to lie . sheridan : very well . did you hide the gin ? beth : ok . yes , i hid the gin . sheridan : all right . are you a good fake mother to marty ? beth : yes . sheridan : all right . are you a scheming psycho who lives to hurt me ? beth : no . mrs. wallace : i wonder where beth did hide that gin . beth : i mean , if someone tried to stop me from being close to my mother , i would have to assume that they did n't love me enough to want me to be happy . sheridan : i just do n't think that luis is like that . beth : i 'm sorry , i hate to say it , but you have to . sheridan , luis says he loves you , but now he 's going to make you choose between him and katherine ? look , there 's only one thing you can do . sheridan : what ? beth : you can never see luis again . [ scene_break ] julian : for the last time , son , living together with your sister as a couple is wrong . chad : we 'd be platonic . julian : well , initially , perhaps , but as father lonigan said , eventually the desire to be together as a man and a woman would win out . chad : father lonigan is celibate . i will be , too . julian : father lonigan is not in love with a woman , chad . you are -- your sister -- and it 's wrong . chad : no , what 's wrong is being kept away from the woman i love by people who do n't understand that whitney is the one who 's in love with me . [ scene_break ] whitney : look , i know what a mess this whole thing is , and thank you for covering for me again . eve : whitney , we ca n't keep this a secret forever . sooner or later , fox and chad are going to find out that chad is the father of your baby . whitney : they can never find out . eve : never say never , whitney . this baby will probably be born with a host of health problems related to incest , if it even comes to term since you do n't eat and you do n't take your vitamins . whitney : ok , i do n't want to think about that right now , ok ? look , fox is going to ask me to marry him again . what do i do ? eve : well , you ca n't be with chad . i mean , there 's no way for you to justify taking a baby that 's supposedly fox 's and raising it with your brother . whitney , no . tabitha : it 's a pity conjuring togas would give us away as witches . how better to watch a modern - day greek tragedy at its most dramatic moment , huh ? fox : whitney , ok if we talk now ? whitney : yes , yes , of course . fox : ahem . all right , so anyway , this really is n't what i had in mind , you know , with everybody watching , so -- tabitha : oh , never mind us , dear . fox : thank you , tabitha , that 's nice . uh -- ahem . anyway , whitney , you know , with chad pushing himself on you and everything , i wanted to -- well , what i planned on doing was coming over here and making my case and then just asking you to do what you want . i just -- i just love you . i just do . and ever since that night i heard you singing at the blue note , i fell in love with you . and i 've tried to ask myself why you , why me , why us . i do n't know . i do n't know the answers to that . i just know that to me , you 're perfect . so , i 'm going to get down on my knees and i 'm going to ask you one more time . will you do me the honor of being my wife ? will you marry me ? just say yes . [ scene_break ] luis : nothing good came from papa leaving us . nothing . i remember we barely scraped by week to week . and i 'll bet if papa had never left us , you 'd be the mother of four college grads and paloma would be working on her degree right now . no . all of our lives would 've been so much better . it would 've been so different . pilar : i agree with you , mijo , our lives would 've been different . but i do n't know that they would 've been better . luis : well , how could they not be ? pilar : because if your father had stayed , you probably would be married to beth right now . would that be better than having met and fallen in love with sheridan ? [ scene_break ] sheridan : beth , i could never not see luis again . mrs. wallace : this is why beth never wrote an advice column . beth : look , i know what i 'm suggesting -- it 's extreme , and i would never totally expect you to , you know , not see luis , but you 've got to get your own life with your own friends , people who love you whether luis approves of them or not . sheridan : you 're right . and i appreciate your honesty . which is why i have to be honest with you now , because there 's still one person that i want to have in my life that is a problem for both you and luis . beth : oh ? mrs. wallace : who ? sheridan : marty . i still ca n't stop thinking that he is my little boy . and i 'm so sorry , i 've tried , but i just ca n't stop thinking of him that way . beth 's voice : so much for letting you live . beth : well , i know you 've had a really hard time , losing your baby and antonio , your mother . sheridan : yeah , it 's been really hard . and , you know , i know that luis keeps telling me that marty is your son and that i should believe him , but there are just times that i ca n't . i 'm sorry . and you , beth , i mean , all the times that i 've accused you of stealing my baby -- can you ever forgive me ? beth : yeah . of course i 'll forgive you . sheridan : thank you . thank you for being so kind and understanding . beth : oh , i 'm just glad to help . sheridan : you have , believe me . beth : what are you doing ? sheridan : i 'm going to call luis . i 'm going to tell him i want to get things back on track , that i do n't want to fight anymore . you know , i just love luis so much , and i ca n't stand the thought of spending one night away from him . beth : no , you ca n't call luis . sheridan : why , beth ? why ca n't i call luis ?

[ scene_break ] ej : so mia was lying to him . he did n't say what about specifically , but it 's obviously very painful for him . nicole : yeah , it 's terrible . ej : i mean , having been raised by samantha , you can only imagine how difficult it is for him to be lied to by somebody else that he cares about . nicole : well , hopefully someday sami can learn to be honest with him . but as for mia , do you have any idea what she was lying about ? ej : why would you care to know that ?

brady : she did . it 's got ta stop , okay ? xander : what exactly did she say i was doing to bother her ? brady : why do n't we start with the bizarre gift that you gave her , the wrestling mask ? xander : oh . lucha libre . well , i hope i did n't offend her . the nights that we spent in nashville were long . and we had to keep them ... interesting . brady : i do n't need to know about that . xander : well , it 's yours if you want it . i called myself el erotico . she seemed to dig it , but you can make up your own gimmick if you want . brady : there 's a lot wrong with you . do n't know what you 're missing , mate . el erotico vanquishes the men and seduces the women ! brady : wow . xander : does n't anybody here know how to have fun ? [ roars ] sonny : [ yelps ] xander ? xander : oh , it 's you . i was hoping it 'd be victor and i 'd give him a heart attack . sonny : what the hell are you doing ? xander : oh , you know , just hanging out . sonny : is n't that the mask that susan gave you ? xander : susan ? oh , yeah . why ? sonny : well , she said she was gon na ask you to give it back to her , so why do you still have it ? tony : listen . you saved my life and i shall be eternally grateful . but i have no interest in subjecting myself to the stress of dimera enterprises . kristen : [ laughs ] okay , hang on . hang on there . you know , i think i need to clear something up . i 'm not asking you to take over the company . tony : you 're not ? kristen : no . no , i knew you would n't be interested in that . and besides , i 've worked way too hard to be someone else 's sidekick . tony : and what is it you want ? kristen : what i need you to do is marry me . xander : come on , everybody likes a bit of roleplay now and then . you and will should try it , spice things up a bit . sonny : i 'm just gon na return it to susan actually . xander : thanks . i 'll be happy to never see it or her ever again . i 'm going for a jog . enjoy the rest of your day . [ grunts ] brady : oh , god . what are you doing with that thing ? sonny : oh , xander gave it to me . i think i 'm just gon na send it to susan . brady : why would you do that ? jack : i loved you . i trusted you . and you used me . eve : did n't you -- you did n't use me ? i made you the mayor , jack . i gave you a life when you had absolutely nothing . all i asked -- all i asked was for you to put me first . jack : [ sighs ] i tried . i really tried . eve : you did n't try hard enough . jack : [ groans ] eve : i 'm here , jack , and i love you . i love you . and we can still have an amazing life together . i 'm not gon na give up on you . do you hear me ? i 'm not gon na give up on you . jack : you do n't know . oh , my god . you do n't know . you do n't know what you did . eve : jack . jack : what did you do ? you destroyed these vials . and you destroyed us . you destroyed us . our marriage is over . i want a divorce . eve : jack . jack : i want a divorce . eve : jack . jack : no . no . eve : jack . jack . [ sobs ] stefan : okay , gabi , you do make a compelling case for a marriage of convenience . gabi : but it 's more than that , is n't it ? stefan : gabi , we both know why we 'd be doing this . gabi : all i 'm saying is that we -- we 've gotten close recently . and you ca n't deny that we enjoy spending time together . i do care about you and i know that you care about me . stefan : i do . but of course , there 'd have to be a prenup . gabi : a prenup ? why ? abe : well , it 's the smart thing to do . gabi : [ scoffs ] abe : protects you both . gabi : uh , whose side are you on ? stefan : i 'm sorry , gabi , i thought we were all on the same side . gabi : we are all on the same side . we just do n't have a lot of time here . stefan : great . i 'll have my lawyer draw up the papers this afternoon . gabi : your lawyer . stefan : yes . gabi : okay , so then do i even get to look at this ? stefan : gabi , this is the way it 's gon na be . are we gon na have a problem with that ? tony : you want to marry me ? kristen : yes . so that i can be officially a dimera in the eyes of the board . tony : wow . kristen : as a dimera , i can take over as ceo . you can be involved as much or as little as you 'd like . tony : may i remind you that stefano , all those years ago , groomed us to be husband and wife ? kristen : mm - hmm . i remember . tony : and although we are not blood related , the incestuous implications were rather troubling . kristen : yeah , but obviously , we 'd be married in name only . as far as the world 's concerned , you 'd be married to nicole walker . tony : that 's even worse . do you realize that it was her face that i last saw on the docks before i was impaled ? kristen : okay , so when we 're alone together , i 'll make sure i take off the mask . tony : oh . that 's so considerate of you . kristen : tony . stefan is ruining our legacy . he 's not one of us . tony : kristen . kristen : hm ? tony : i 'm sorry . i find your plan is commendable . but you 'll just have to find another dimera to help you execute it . i will not marry you . sonny : look , it belongs to susan , so i 'm just gon na send it to her . brady : [ stammers ] i do n't want to mention susan anymore . let 's not talk about susan after the way she threw herself at me in my own bedroom . that was weird . let 's talk about something else . shall we ? sonny : gladly . look , um ... i do n't want to get into the whole titan business , but i understand that stefan 's being shoved out at dimera . brady : that 's the word , yes . sonny : well , i hope you 're planning on taking advantage of the situation . brady : absolutely . as a matter of fact , i think now is the time when titan will finally put its foot on dimera 's throat . gabi : i do n't -- i do n't have a problem with a prenup . stefan : that 's not how you 're acting . gabi : no , i know , i 'm just -- you know , i 'm trying to save your ass and your company , and it really feels like you do n't trust me . abe : [ chuckles ] it 's pretty standard , gabi . stefan : gabi , this is n't about you and me . this is business . gabi : oh . okay , so this whole time when -- when you 've been set up for this kidnapping thing , i 've stood by you . was that business ? stefan : no . and i 've made it abundantly clear how much your support means to me . gabi : you also told me that since your mom died , no one 's believed in you . until me . you know , we 've got kate and ted swearing that you 're the one behind the kidnapping . i stood by you . i trusted you . it does n't feel like you could do the same for me . kristen : [ groans ] what do you mean , you wo n't marry me ? tony : because i already have a wife -- that 's what i mean . kristen : tony -- tony : i 'm married to anna . kristen : yeah , but you were declared dead . legally dead . which means your marriage is legally dead . which means you are not married to anna or anyone else . tony : all right , so in the eyes of the law ... i 'm single . but my heart belongs to anna . kristen : [ scoffs ] oh , my god . why are you being so difficult ? you owe me . i saved your life . tony : and for that , i shall be forever grateful . do you know how long i 've been waiting , thinking when i was gon na come back out and find my anna ? mm . she 's all i ever thought about when i was hidden away . [ sighs ] what happens when i come back to salem with a young wife in my arms ? she 'll be devastated . and i ca n't do that to her . and i won't . xander : boo ! eve : [ yelps ] what the hell , xander ? get away from me , you 're -- you 're all sweaty and gross . xander : just the way -- eve : stay away . xander : just the way you like me . eve : [ groans ] xander : so how 'd it go with jack and the fake serum ? eve : it went to hell . xander : what do you mean ? eve : he caught me burning rolf 's diary . xander : oh , no . eve : oh , yeah , and it got worse from there . it 's over . he wants ... he wants a divorce . xander : mm . that 's a bummer . eve : oh , do n't act like you care . xander : you 're really upset . eve : of course i 'm upset . my marriage just ended , you stooge . xander : i thought ... you did n't really love him , did you ? this was all about making jennifer pay , right ? eve : oh , she 's gon na pay all right . because he 's never gon na get his memory back . because i destroyed the serum and the formula . xander : are you sure ? there is still one loose end . jennifer : kayla , there is no guarantee that the serum will work , and what about all the side effects that he could have ? kayla , well , you know what , we learned a lot from will 's case and i know that you are scared . listen to me . if jack does get his memory back , it 's gon na be a lot to deal with . he 's going to need your help . jennifer : no , you 're right . okay , it 's okay if i have a little hope then . kayla : yeah . jennifer : [ laughs ] feelin ' like , oh stefan : gabi , this not a matter of trust . i would be an idiot not to sign a prenup . gabi : fine . fine . i will -- i will do whatever it takes to keep gabi chic in the family legacy . i 'll sign what you want . stefan : thank you . abe : you 've made the right decision . gabi : we 'll see . so before brady or nicole or anybody else shows up , will you please give me my answer ? stefan dimera , will you marry me ? brady : nicole and i were actually talking about ways in which to exert our power over dimera and she pitched me the idea of going after the position of ceo . yeah , thereby playing mole for titan . sonny : yeah , but does n't the ceo of dimera have to be a member of the family ? brady : mm - hmm . she seems to think that there 'd be a way around that . she referenced marrying a dimera . the problem is , there 's no eligible dimeras out there . kristen : you and i ... this is not a love match . this is a business deal between family members . i just need the dimera name so i can get my foot in the door . tony : and what will that mean ? that you 'll be nicole walker dimera forever ? kristen : no , of course not . of course not . no , when i get into place , i 'll work my way out of legal jeopardy . tony : did n't you try to murder marlena ? kristen , all right , let 's just stay on topic . this is temporary . okay ? [ laughs ] and once i 'm cleared , i can reveal to the world who i really am . and we can end this marriage and you can run straight back into the arms of anna . tony : and what if it 's too late ? kristen : oh ! does n't it beat the alternative of sitting around here staring at these four walls ? assuming you still have that . tony : what is that supposed to mean ? kristen : it means , dear brother , that if you continue to be unreasonable , i may just decide to take away my protection and this apartment . which means you will be out on the street . just you and your little cane . mm . so what 's it gon na be ? will you marry me ? jack : i thought you had a date with henry the handsome doctor guy . jennifer : it did n't end well . jack : oh . i 'm sorry to hear that . um , what happened ? was he inappropriate ? jennifer : no , no , not at all . jj told me that you decided to take the serum , so it kinda wrecked the whole date game . jack : [ stammers ] yeah , i asked him not to say anything . jennifer : yeah , but ... you really did n't expect him not to tell me , right ? jack : no , i guess not . jennifer : so , uh ... have you remembered anything ? jack : no . no . eve ... eve injected me with a placebo and she destroyed the original serum . jennifer : what ? jack . mm - hmm . then ... she admitted that she took rolf 's diary from seth burns ' office all those months ago and she ... she held on to it for months without telling me and then she burned it . jennifer : i know that that woman is cruel , but that is -- jack : no , no , she -- she ... she was afraid . that 's all she was . she was just afraid that i was gon na leave her if i got my memory back . kayla : i do not believe this . jack : i did n't believe it either . and then it happened . and now i ca n't forgive her . it 's over . jennifer : you mean you 're divorcing her ? jack : as soon as i possibly can . kayla : what are you doing here , jack ? jack : uh ... i ... i thought -- i hoped ... you made the original serum here in the hospital at your lab . i was -- i was hoping . i was hoping , i was praying that maybe you might have some notes left from that original serum . kayla : i 'm sorry -- [ stammers ] i gave the formula back to will and we were only authorized to make one dose and an antidote . and then rest was destroyed . jack : so it 's gone . it 's gone , it 's gone . gone forever . kayla : you know , maybe -- maybe there 's one thing . jennifer : what ? what do you mean ? kayla : the private lab that manufactured the serum may be able to help you . jack : the lab ! of course , of course ! thank you , thank you . [ stammering ] i 'm gon na call them right now . thank you . hello , hello . this is mayor jack deveraux . i 'd like to talk to the supervisor there at the lab . [ stutters ] he ... [ sighs ] no . [ sighs ] thank you , thank you . thank you . jennifer : jack , what -- what is it ? kayla : what 's wrong ? jack : it 's over . i 'm never gon na get my memory back . eve : well , well , well . not surprised . the two of you together . jennifer : what is wrong with you ? eve : i 'm sure you 're gon na tell me , jennifer . eve : withholding medical treatment from jack ? eve : oh , are you talking about the brain tumor inducing drug that almost killed will ? uh , how dare i ? jennifer : do n't you even act like you 're doing this out of the goodness of your heart because you do n't have one . jack : you shut down the lab that made the serum . your people seized the notes so they ca n't make it again . eve : well , jack , i heard a rumor that , um , that lab was manufacturing drugs that are n't , you know , approved by the fda so i was just ... public hazard here . jack : what did you do with the formula ? jennifer : you shredded it ? eve : just doing my sworn duties protecting the public . jack : i 'm relieving you of your duties as police commissioner . you 're fired . gabi : all right , you know what ? if you got ta think about marrying me this long , i -- forget it . forget i brought it up . stefan : no , gabi . wait . i am grateful for you and all the support that you 've shown me , everything you 've brought into my life and the company . you 're brilliant and creative and i ... yes . i will marry you , let 's do it . gabi : [ sighs ] tony : you would n't throw me out on the street , would you ? i know you 're not that cold - hearted . kristen : just as i know that you are not cold - hearted to deny me my dreams . tony : dimera enterprises is that important to you , is it ? kristen : it 's father 's legacy . and you ca n't tell me that you 're okay with it being run into the ground by someone like stefan dimera . tony : [ sighs ] all right . all right , i 'll marry you . kristen : you wo n't regret it . tony : i 'm not quite sure about that , but let me ask you a question . kristen : okay , what is it ? tony : how in the world are you going to explain as nicole walker that you crossed paths with a dead man and wound up married to him ? kristen : oh , do n't you worry , dear brother . i have it all figured out . | kristen went to see tony . he was surprised to see nicole . she revealed herself to be kristen . he was shocked . she wanted him to help her get dimera from stefan . jack begged eve not to destroy the real serum . they argued back and forth about it . he tried to tell her that he loved her to keep her from destroying the serum . gabi suggested that she and stefan get married . he was n't sure that was a good idea at all . she continued to convince him that it was a good idea because the board would still have a dimera in charge . she thought she could fill in as head of the company until he could be reinstated . kayla and jennifer talked about what happened with henry . jennifer told her how jack agreed to take the serum . jack kissed eve to keep her from destroying the serum . kristen continued to convince tony to go after stefan to stop him from destroying dimera . gabi asked abe to marry her and stefan . he agreed to marry them if they went through with it . jennifer thought that jack did n't like her , but kayla thought he would remember her . after eve pulled away from the kiss , she destroyed the serum . he yelled at her for destroying it . she realized the real jack emerged . | <s>[INST] [ dramatic music ] tony : nicole walker . what the hell are you doing here ? xander : oh , looks like someone 's long sad drought with women is finally over . brady : grow up , xander . xander : wonder if i know the lucky lady . oh , wait . i think i know her very well . [ elevator bell dings ] jennifer : oh , kayla . hey . kayla : hey . hi . jennifer : have you seen dr . shah ? kayla : i thought he was on a date with you . jennifer : well , we were . and it ended abruptly and he left his phone on the table . do you think that you could give this to him . 'cause i 'm pretty sure he does n't want to see me right now . kayla : wow . that bad , huh ? jennifer : i wanted to go on a date with him because jack made it perfectly clear that he was not interested in getting his memory back . kayla : okay . jennifer : but then i ran into jj before the date and he told me that jack changed his mind . kayla : that he took the serum ? jennifer : yeah , i mean , he could be remembering everything as we speak . jack : give it to me ! eve : wait , no ! jack : eve , no ! no , eve ! eve , stop ! stop ! stop ! stop ! stop ! please . please . i did n't mean to hurt you . eve : you told me i did n't love my daughter , jack , my dead daughter . of course you meant to hurt me . jack : i know , i know . i know . i know you loved her , but you say you love me too . eve : i do love you , jack . i love you . jack : then why ? why are you doing this ? eve : because i want to hold on to us . [ sighs ] jack : do n't ruin it . eve : jack , it 's ... it 's too late . jack : no , no , no . it 's not too late . eve : yes . jack : no . no , you are my wife . i love you . you do n't have to destroy the serum . gabi : if we 're gon na hold on to this company , then i need to be mrs . stefan dimera . stefan : mrs. stefan dimera . gabi : yeah , the board says a family member needs to be in charge , right ? abe : it 's in the company by - laws . gabi : okay , they 've -- they 've frozen you out while we 're fighting these phony kidnapping charges . i can stand in as temporary placeholder . stefan : you want to marry me . gabi : okay , i know that it 's drastic , but if you do n't do something about this right now , somebody could come in , take your company , and you could never get it back . tony : ah , just stand back . nicole : okay , easy . let 's not go hitting people with canes or anything . tony : how did you get in here ? nicole : i had a key . tony : there are only two keys to this apartment . one that i have and the other one is kept by ... nicole : [ gasps ] tony . do n't you recognize your very own sister ? oh . [ sighs ] tony : kristen . kristen : hello , brother . long time no see . male announcer : like sands through the hourglass , so are the `` days of our lives . `` [ soft orchestration ] stefan : shin and his cronies would never make you ceo of dimera , even if you were my ... wife . gabi : uh , why not ? gabi chic is the best - performing company under the dimera banner . the board loves me . abe : she 's right about that . gabi : we need to do something about this right now . because when they officially remove you from power , they 're gon na install somebody else , and that 's when it 's gon na be too late to do anything about this . tony : that 's quite a convincing mask you have there . i presume it 's the work of dr . rolf ? kristen : mm - hmm . he was a wonder . tony : but why are you passing yourself off as nicole , of all people ? kristen : when kristen dimera died , she was at the top of salem 's most wanted list . and i had to assume another identity so that i could walk around freely . tony : so nicole was just a convenient choice ? kristen : seeing as she did n't survive the warehouse explosion , i figured she would n't be needing her face any time soon . tony : why are you here ? kristen : [ chuckles ] i wanted to check on your progress . how are you doing ? tony : about the same . kristen : well , you seem much improved to me , considering how devastating your injuries were . i mean , if it were n't for dr . rolf , i mean , you would n't be here at all . tony : yeah , i 'm just glad to be out of that room in nashville . kristen : antony dimera . mm . i always thought that had a lovely ring to it . tony : too formal for me . i least like calling me antony . but with many lives as i 've had , i just like simply tony . kristen : [ chuckles ] copd makes it hard to breathe . kristen : i can see the changes in you , tony . tony : well , i 'm not gon na be happy until i 'm 100 % . kristen : you were almost there before the warehouse caught fire . andre : yeah . if you had n't pulled me out of that fire ... kristen : i know . we 're family . and that 's what we do for each other . that 's why i set you up here . to get back to 100 % . and return to anna like you always wanted . tony : mm . i think staying away from her was the hardest thing i 've ever done . kristen : you do n't have to wait any long . it 's time you return to the land of the living . abe : shin likes gabi . he trusts her . gabi : mm - hmm . yeah , what about you , stefan ? do you like me ? do you trust me ? stefan : most of the time . gabi : most of the time . come on . would being married to me be such a hardship ? stefan : what about you ? gabi : what about me ? stefan : you 're okay marrying me given all of our history ? abe : you know this ... idea , there 's -- there 's merit behind it . but i think we should all probably just take a minute and think it through . gabi : we do n't have a minute to think this through . stefan : hey , gabi , no , abe 's right . what if this whole thing backfire ? what if the board not only wants me out but they want my wife out ? then you lose gabi chic . you lose everything . xander : i 'm gon na take a stab in the dark and guess that my erstwhile ex - wife was throwing herself at you . brady : i do n't know what you 're talking about . xander : nicole . lipstick . ring a bell ? brady : why do you think it was nicole ? xander : why come back as nicole walker ? you could have come back as anybody you wanted . kristen : she gives me the in i need to get what i really , really want . xander : brady black . kristen : [ chuckles ] oh , i love hearing that name . xander : that lipstick i saw you wiping off . who else but nicole would wear that shade ? brady : you recognize the lipstick ? xander : it made its way onto my person more than once . brady : she was disgusted by you , by the way . xander : well , i 'm no fan of hers either these days . but , uh ... ever since she made her divorce me , she 's been very smitten with you and i say go for it . tony : i 'm not ready to go back . kristen : oh , i know you have your doubts . it 's been a long time . but i can see how strong you are now . tony : yeah , but i 've got a ways to go . kristen : [ stammers ] here . take the first step and get up out of that chair . tony : what 's the rush ? kristen : stefan o dimera is the rush tony : father 's son with vivian alamain . kristen : his bastard son . the interloper at dimera . he 's on the verge of being kicked out of power . tony : so you feel you 're in the position to take the company back from him . kristen : yes , i deserve it . i do , but the only problem is , i ca n't reveal my true self without being arrested . and sure , as you remember , the board stipulates that only a dimera can be ceo . tony : so you 've come here for my help . kristen : you can do this , tony . we can do this together . come on . tony : oh , kristen . i 'm sorry . but if you want me to take that job , my answer is no . kayla : so did henry pull the plug or did you ? jennifer : he did . and rightly so . i should n't even have gone out on a date with him . i thought that i was ready to move on and obviously , i 'm not . kayla : well , you would n't know unless you tried . jennifer : well , uh ... i have tried . i know that jack is my one true love . kayla : and you were his too . i really believe that . jennifer : no . kayla , he 's got eve now . kayla : he only has eve because he does n't remember who he is . but if he gets his memory back , all bets are off . jennifer : yeah , but that 's what 's so scary . kayla : what , that he would get his memory back ? jennifer : the only thing worse than jack not getting his memory back is what if he remembers and he does n't want to come back to me ? eve : do you still love me jack ? jack : i do . i 'm mad as hell at you , but i do . eve : then why do you want to remember your past ? jack : because it 's mine . because everybody in this town knows me better than i do . because i got kids . eve : but your children -- jack : kids i do n't even know . eve : jack , jack , jack , your children are here . you can reestablish a relationship with them , build memories , even stronger ones than you have now . jack : there are so many memories , eve , so many memories i do n't have . eve : you would be risking your own life . i mean , you know what happened to will ; he almost died . jack : there 's an antidote now . will has been saved . eve : yes , yes , but what if it does n't work ? what if you get sick ? jack , think about that . jack : eve , i do n't know . i do n't know . eve : well , `` i do n't know `` does n't work for me . i do n't want to lose you . jack , please . ca n't you hear that ? jack you never will . you never will . eve : [ exhales ] jack : you just ... just please . do n't smash the vial . do n't break the serum . please . eve : [ exhales ] jack : [ sighs ] i did n't have to shout out for help . eve : [ moaning ] jack : [ moans ] [ exhales ] what ? eve . what is it ? we got everything we want . money , power , everything . we got our whole future together i do n't want that to change . eve : neither do i . jack : no ! no , eve ! you bitch . how could you do this to me ? eve : [ sighs ] bitch . bitch ? there it is . there 's how you really feel about me . it was all a lie , was n't it , jack ? you ... you did n't love me . well , you know what ? if i ca n't have you , neither can jennifer . jennifer : jack did n't even want me to know that he was taking the serum . he told jj not to tell me . kayla : well , maybe he did n't want you to worry . jennifer : right , and that 's what jj said . but you know what ? i do n't think jack cares . i do n't think he cares about my hopes . i mean , since he 's been back , he 's been so hostile . i really do n't believe he would want to be with me . i do n't even thinks he likes me , kayla . gabi : why are you fighting this , stefan ? we can do this together , i know we can ! stefan : you really want to marry me . right now . gabi : abe can do it . right now . i mean , unless you think that 's crossing the line . abe : ah , well ... after marrying john and hattie adams , i ca n't argue that it is . stefan : you 're not mayor anymore . abe : well , i do still have a license to officiate . i 'm willing to perform the ceremony if you both wan na do it , so just give me the word . xander : so , uh ... can we expect a wedding in the near future ? brady : me and nicole ? absolutely not . xander : why not ? you make such an adorable couple . brady : xander , why are you all up in nicole 's business anyway ? she says that you are harassing her . xander : she told you that ? brady : she did . it 's got ta stop , okay ? xander : what exactly did she say i was doing to bother her ? brady : why do n't we start with the bizarre gift that you gave her , the wrestling mask ? xander : oh . lucha libre . well , i hope i did n't offend her . the nights that we spent in nashville were long . and we had to keep them ... interesting . brady : i do n't need to know about that . xander : well , it 's yours if you want it . i called myself el erotico . she seemed to dig it , but you can make up your own gimmick if you want . brady : there 's a lot wrong with you . do n't know what you 're missing , mate . el erotico vanquishes the men and seduces the women ! brady : wow . xander : does n't anybody here know how to have fun ? [ roars ] sonny : [ yelps ] xander ? xander : oh , it 's you . i was hoping it 'd be victor and i 'd give him a heart attack . sonny : what the hell are you doing ? xander : oh , you know , just hanging out . sonny : is n't that the mask that susan gave you ? xander : susan ? oh , yeah . why ? sonny : well , she said she was gon na ask you to give it back to her , so why do you still have it ? tony : listen . you saved my life and i shall be eternally grateful . but i have no interest in subjecting myself to the stress of dimera enterprises . kristen : [ laughs ] okay , hang on . hang on there . you know , i think i need to clear something up . i 'm not asking you to take over the company . tony : you 're not ? kristen : no . no , i knew you would n't be interested in that . and besides , i 've worked way too hard to be someone else 's sidekick . tony : and what is it you want ? kristen : what i need you to do is marry me . xander : come on , everybody likes a bit of roleplay now and then . you and will should try it , spice things up a bit . sonny : i 'm just gon na return it to susan actually . xander : thanks . i 'll be happy to never see it or her ever again . i 'm going for a jog . enjoy the rest of your day . [ grunts ] brady : oh , god . what are you doing with that thing ? sonny : oh , xander gave it to me . i think i 'm just gon na send it to susan . brady : why would you do that ? jack : i loved you . i trusted you . and you used me . eve : did n't you -- you did n't use me ? i made you the mayor , jack . i gave you a life when you had absolutely nothing . all i asked -- all i asked was for you to put me first . jack : [ sighs ] i tried . i really tried . eve : you did n't try hard enough . jack : [ groans ] eve : i 'm here , jack , and i love you . i love you . and we can still have an amazing life together . i 'm not gon na give up on you . do you hear me ? i 'm not gon na give up on you . jack : you do n't know . oh , my god . you do n't know . you do n't know what you did . eve : jack . jack : what did you do ? you destroyed these vials . and you destroyed us . you destroyed us . our marriage is over . i want a divorce . eve : jack . jack : i want a divorce . eve : jack . jack : no . no . eve : jack . jack . [ sobs ] stefan : okay , gabi , you do make a compelling case for a marriage of convenience . gabi : but it 's more than that , is n't it ? stefan : gabi , we both know why we 'd be doing this . gabi : all i 'm saying is that we -- we 've gotten close recently . and you ca n't deny that we enjoy spending time together . i do care about you and i know that you care about me . stefan : i do . but of course , there 'd have to be a prenup . gabi : a prenup ? why ? abe : well , it 's the smart thing to do . gabi : [ scoffs ] abe : protects you both . gabi : uh , whose side are you on ? stefan : i 'm sorry , gabi , i thought we were all on the same side . gabi : we are all on the same side . we just do n't have a lot of time here . stefan : great . i 'll have my lawyer draw up the papers this afternoon . gabi : your lawyer . stefan : yes . gabi : okay , so then do i even get to look at this ? stefan : gabi , this is the way it 's gon na be . are we gon na have a problem with that ? tony : you want to marry me ? kristen : yes . so that i can be officially a dimera in the eyes of the board . tony : wow . kristen : as a dimera , i can take over as ceo . you can be involved as much or as little as you 'd like . tony : may i remind you that stefano , all those years ago , groomed us to be husband and wife ? kristen : mm - hmm . i remember . tony : and although we are not blood related , the incestuous implications were rather troubling . kristen : yeah , but obviously , we 'd be married in name only . as far as the world 's concerned , you 'd be married to nicole walker . tony : that 's even worse . do you realize that it was her face that i last saw on the docks before i was impaled ? kristen : okay , so when we 're alone together , i 'll make sure i take off the mask . tony : oh . that 's so considerate of you . kristen : tony . stefan is ruining our legacy . he 's not one of us . tony : kristen . kristen : hm ? tony : i 'm sorry . i find your plan is commendable . but you 'll just have to find another dimera to help you execute it . i will not marry you . sonny : look , it belongs to susan , so i 'm just gon na send it to her . brady : [ stammers ] i do n't want to mention susan anymore . let 's not talk about susan after the way she threw herself at me in my own bedroom . that was weird . let 's talk about something else . shall we ? sonny : gladly . look , um ... i do n't want to get into the whole titan business , but i understand that stefan 's being shoved out at dimera . brady : that 's the word , yes . sonny : well , i hope you 're planning on taking advantage of the situation . brady : absolutely . as a matter of fact , i think now is the time when titan will finally put its foot on dimera 's throat . gabi : i do n't -- i do n't have a problem with a prenup . stefan : that 's not how you 're acting . gabi : no , i know , i 'm just -- you know , i 'm trying to save your ass and your company , and it really feels like you do n't trust me . abe : [ chuckles ] it 's pretty standard , gabi . stefan : gabi , this is n't about you and me . this is business . gabi : oh . okay , so this whole time when -- when you 've been set up for this kidnapping thing , i 've stood by you . was that business ? stefan : no . and i 've made it abundantly clear how much your support means to me . gabi : you also told me that since your mom died , no one 's believed in you . until me . you know , we 've got kate and ted swearing that you 're the one behind the kidnapping . i stood by you . i trusted you . it does n't feel like you could do the same for me . kristen : [ groans ] what do you mean , you wo n't marry me ? tony : because i already have a wife -- that 's what i mean . kristen : tony -- tony : i 'm married to anna . kristen : yeah , but you were declared dead . legally dead . which means your marriage is legally dead . which means you are not married to anna or anyone else . tony : all right , so in the eyes of the law ... i 'm single . but my heart belongs to anna . kristen : [ scoffs ] oh , my god . why are you being so difficult ? you owe me . i saved your life . tony : and for that , i shall be forever grateful . do you know how long i 've been waiting , thinking when i was gon na come back out and find my anna ? mm . she 's all i ever thought about when i was hidden away . [ sighs ] what happens when i come back to salem with a young wife in my arms ? she 'll be devastated . and i ca n't do that to her . and i won't . xander : boo ! eve : [ yelps ] what the hell , xander ? get away from me , you 're -- you 're all sweaty and gross . xander : just the way -- eve : stay away . xander : just the way you like me . eve : [ groans ] xander : so how 'd it go with jack and the fake serum ? eve : it went to hell . xander : what do you mean ? eve : he caught me burning rolf 's diary . xander : oh , no . eve : oh , yeah , and it got worse from there . it 's over . he wants ... he wants a divorce . xander : mm . that 's a bummer . eve : oh , do n't act like you care . xander : you 're really upset . eve : of course i 'm upset . my marriage just ended , you stooge . xander : i thought ... you did n't really love him , did you ? this was all about making jennifer pay , right ? eve : oh , she 's gon na pay all right . because he 's never gon na get his memory back . because i destroyed the serum and the formula . xander : are you sure ? there is still one loose end . jennifer : kayla , there is no guarantee that the serum will work , and what about all the side effects that he could have ? kayla , well , you know what , we learned a lot from will 's case and i know that you are scared . listen to me . if jack does get his memory back , it 's gon na be a lot to deal with . he 's going to need your help . jennifer : no , you 're right . okay , it 's okay if i have a little hope then . kayla : yeah . jennifer : [ laughs ] feelin ' like , oh stefan : gabi , this not a matter of trust . i would be an idiot not to sign a prenup . gabi : fine . fine . i will -- i will do whatever it takes to keep gabi chic in the family legacy . i 'll sign what you want . stefan : thank you . abe : you 've made the right decision . gabi : we 'll see . so before brady or nicole or anybody else shows up , will you please give me my answer ? stefan dimera , will you marry me ? brady : nicole and i were actually talking about ways in which to exert our power over dimera and she pitched me the idea of going after the position of ceo . yeah , thereby playing mole for titan . sonny : yeah , but does n't the ceo of dimera have to be a member of the family ? brady : mm - hmm . she seems to think that there 'd be a way around that . she referenced marrying a dimera . the problem is , there 's no eligible dimeras out there . kristen : you and i ... this is not a love match . this is a business deal between family members . i just need the dimera name so i can get my foot in the door . tony : and what will that mean ? that you 'll be nicole walker dimera forever ? kristen : no , of course not . of course not . no , when i get into place , i 'll work my way out of legal jeopardy . tony : did n't you try to murder marlena ? kristen , all right , let 's just stay on topic . this is temporary . okay ? [ laughs ] and once i 'm cleared , i can reveal to the world who i really am . and we can end this marriage and you can run straight back into the arms of anna . tony : and what if it 's too late ? kristen : oh ! does n't it beat the alternative of sitting around here staring at these four walls ? assuming you still have that . tony : what is that supposed to mean ? kristen : it means , dear brother , that if you continue to be unreasonable , i may just decide to take away my protection and this apartment . which means you will be out on the street . just you and your little cane . mm . so what 's it gon na be ? will you marry me ? jack : i thought you had a date with henry the handsome doctor guy . jennifer : it did n't end well . jack : oh . i 'm sorry to hear that . um , what happened ? was he inappropriate ? jennifer : no , no , not at all . jj told me that you decided to take the serum , so it kinda wrecked the whole date game . jack : [ stammers ] yeah , i asked him not to say anything . jennifer : yeah , but ... you really did n't expect him not to tell me , right ? jack : no , i guess not . jennifer : so , uh ... have you remembered anything ? jack : no . no . eve ... eve injected me with a placebo and she destroyed the original serum . jennifer : what ? jack . mm - hmm . then ... she admitted that she took rolf 's diary from seth burns ' office all those months ago and she ... she held on to it for months without telling me and then she burned it . jennifer : i know that that woman is cruel , but that is -- jack : no , no , she -- she ... she was afraid . that 's all she was . she was just afraid that i was gon na leave her if i got my memory back . kayla : i do not believe this . jack : i did n't believe it either . and then it happened . and now i ca n't forgive her . it 's over . jennifer : you mean you 're divorcing her ? jack : as soon as i possibly can . kayla : what are you doing here , jack ? jack : uh ... i ... i thought -- i hoped ... you made the original serum here in the hospital at your lab . i was -- i was hoping . i was hoping , i was praying that maybe you might have some notes left from that original serum . kayla : i 'm sorry -- [ stammers ] i gave the formula back to will and we were only authorized to make one dose and an antidote . and then rest was destroyed . jack : so it 's gone . it 's gone , it 's gone . gone forever . kayla : you know , maybe -- maybe there 's one thing . jennifer : what ? what do you mean ? kayla : the private lab that manufactured the serum may be able to help you . jack : the lab ! of course , of course ! thank you , thank you . [ stammering ] i 'm gon na call them right now . thank you . hello , hello . this is mayor jack deveraux . i 'd like to talk to the supervisor there at the lab . [ stutters ] he ... [ sighs ] no . [ sighs ] thank you , thank you . thank you . jennifer : jack , what -- what is it ? kayla : what 's wrong ? jack : it 's over . i 'm never gon na get my memory back . eve : well , well , well . not surprised . the two of you together . jennifer : what is wrong with you ? eve : i 'm sure you 're gon na tell me , jennifer . eve : withholding medical treatment from jack ? eve : oh , are you talking about the brain tumor inducing drug that almost killed will ? uh , how dare i ? jennifer : do n't you even act like you 're doing this out of the goodness of your heart because you do n't have one . jack : you shut down the lab that made the serum . your people seized the notes so they ca n't make it again . eve : well , jack , i heard a rumor that , um , that lab was manufacturing drugs that are n't , you know , approved by the fda so i was just ... public hazard here . jack : what did you do with the formula ? jennifer : you shredded it ? eve : just doing my sworn duties protecting the public . jack : i 'm relieving you of your duties as police commissioner . you 're fired . gabi : all right , you know what ? if you got ta think about marrying me this long , i -- forget it . forget i brought it up . stefan : no , gabi . wait . i am grateful for you and all the support that you 've shown me , everything you 've brought into my life and the company . you 're brilliant and creative and i ... yes . i will marry you , let 's do it . gabi : [ sighs ] tony : you would n't throw me out on the street , would you ? i know you 're not that cold - hearted . kristen : just as i know that you are not cold - hearted to deny me my dreams . tony : dimera enterprises is that important to you , is it ? kristen : it 's father 's legacy . and you ca n't tell me that you 're okay with it being run into the ground by someone like stefan dimera . tony : [ sighs ] all right . all right , i 'll marry you . kristen : you wo n't regret it . tony : i 'm not quite sure about that , but let me ask you a question . kristen : okay , what is it ? tony : how in the world are you going to explain as nicole walker that you crossed paths with a dead man and wound up married to him ? kristen : oh , do n't you worry , dear brother . i have it all figured out .Summarize.[/INST]kristen went to see tony . he was surprised to see nicole . she revealed herself to be kristen . he was shocked . she wanted him to help her get dimera from stefan . jack begged eve not to destroy the real serum . they argued back and forth about it . he tried to tell her that he loved her to keep her from destroying the serum . gabi suggested that she and stefan get married . he was n't sure that was a good idea at all . she continued to convince him that it was a good idea because the board would still have a dimera in charge . she thought she could fill in as head of the company until he could be reinstated . kayla and jennifer talked about what happened with henry . jennifer told her how jack agreed to take the serum . jack kissed eve to keep her from destroying the serum . kristen continued to convince tony to go after stefan to stop him from destroying dimera . gabi asked abe to marry her and stefan . he agreed to marry them if they went through with it . jennifer thought that jack did n't like her , but kayla thought he would remember her . after eve pulled away from the kiss , she destroyed the serum . he yelled at her for destroying it . she realized the real jack emerged .</s> | 8,107 |

[ scene_break ] natalia : big day for my dad and angie , huh ? randi : i know . it kind of gives us all hope . natalia : yeah . you know , is it wrong for me to hope that there might be a little niece or nephew in the not - too - distant future ? free babysitting . randi : that is good to know . but frankie and i , we spoke about it . we 're just not ready . with our careers -- i do n't know . there 's just so much going on . natalia : i know . the life of a supermodel . randi : it 's not just me . your brother is pulling every single extra shift that he can just so that he can make up hours that he lost when david was in charge . natalia : huh . well , it 's good he 's keeping busy . the busier the better -- it keeps that guy out of trouble . randi : what kind of trouble are we talking about ? [ scene_break ] madison : are you ok ? ryan : yeah , yeah . no , i 'm -- i am ok . they 're about to close the investigation into david 's death . so -- madison : and rule it a suicide ? ryan : yes . madison : are you ok with that ? ryan : yeah . i mean , who am i to question authority . right ? madison : you were pretty sure that david did n't kill himself . ryan : i could spend the rest of my life trying to find answers that i may never get , but there 's a lot better things to focus on . there just is -- like this . as soon as the case is officially closed , david 's case is officially closed , i officially get my life back and i am free . we are all free . madison : including greenlee . [ scene_break ] greenlee : david wrote those letters , not me . tad : ryan refuses to believe that a guy like david would take himself out . and as much as i wish he did , i see his point . greenlee : i know it 's hard . it 's an awful thought . tad : the david i knew was always concerned about winning , you know , about gloating , victory . greenlee : he had a lot of sides to him . tad : true enough . true enough . but it 's kind of hard to imagine a man like that , in that situation , taking the time to sit down and write not one but three good - bye letters . greenlee : i do n't know what you want me to say . he was in a lot of pain . i rejected him . marissa had rejected him . i was just as surprised as jesse when we found those letters . tad : when i was watching you with marissa just now , how you were doing your best to comfort her , make her feel better , i was watching you very closely . tad : it 's not her guilt i 'm concerned about , it 's yours , and it was written all over your face . guilt because she believes her letter is real , and you know it is n't . you were lying to her . those letters do a lot of things . they give good people closure . they get ryan and everybody else off the hook . and on top of it all , they even make david look like a decent guy at the end of things . there 's very few people around that would care enough to take care of all of that . there 's even fewer who have the courage to do it . i understand why you did it , and i want to help you , but you have to be honest with me . you wrote the letters , did n't you ? [ scene_break ] natalia : i 'm just jabbering . i really should get back to work . randi : no , you meant something by that . why should frankie stay busy ? natalia : uh , i 'm just glad he is -- busy . randi : because ? natalia : you 're not gon na let me out of this one , are you ? randi : no . natalia : fine . madison . whenever i see frankie , there 's a real good chance that she is not too far away . randi : they 're friends . we 're all friends . natalia : yeah . ok . there 's friends , and then there 's `` friends . `` ok , i 'm sorry , but i think madison and frankie are spending way too much time together , honey . randi : you think that there 's something going on between them ? natalia : oh , no . no , not a chance . absolutely not . randi : well , there is n't . natalia : look , i 'm sorry . ok ? i really am . i 'm probably just overreacting -- the whole overprotective sister thing . it 's just -- [ sighs ] it seems like madison always needs his help . randi : look , she 's been through a lot . natalia : and she made your life hell and frankie 's life hell , and now you 're all bffs ? randi : agreed , but madison has changed . natalia : people do n't change that much , honey . randi : i did . and in case you have n't noticed , madison is absolutely crazy for ryan . and my husband and i are crazy about each other , so there is nothing for you to worry about . natalia : i guess you 're right . randi : i got to get back to fusion . natalia : hey , i hope i did n't ruin your day . randi : it 'll take a lot more than that . natalia : ohh . brot : ahh . ahem . i ca n't believe you just did that . natalia : did what ? brot : you know what ? why do n't you just pin a target on frankie 's ass , and then give randi your weapon ?

[ jesse and frankie chuckle ] [ scene_break ] ryan : look , i 'm so sorry that i made you feel like you 've been on the sidelines through a lot of this stuff . no , i am . i never , ever intended that . madison : you wanted to make sure that greenlee was all right . i understand . ryan : look . with david 's case about to be closed , we 're good . no more greenlee popping into our lives , popping into the apartment . all right ? and kendall has signed her plea deal , which means her parole is over , so she 's good . she 's moving back into wildwind . so other than a little blond girl about this high , you are the only woman in my life from now on . ok ? no distractions , just us . madison : what will we do with ourselves ? ryan : oh , man . i do n't know . i think we should just take our time , see where it takes us . madison : i like the sound of that . ryan : i think we should start with that trip that you were talking about . the palm trees , the beaches , vineyards -- whatever you want . whatever you want . from now on , you and the kids , my priority . madison : does greenlee know that ? ryan : she will . she will . [ kiss ] [ scene_break ] greenlee : i did n't know what else to do . tad : and forging suicide letters seemed like a viable option ? greenlee : david 's death has been complicated for a lot of people . tad : it 's certainly been complicated for you . greenlee : and with no concrete evidence , there will always be questions on top of grief . at least this way , the questions go away . tad : yeah , but if david did n't commit suicide , if he was murdered , is n't that a question that you want answered ? greenlee : think about the answers . 90 % of them involve someone we care about being carted off to prison . i hate that i had to do this . i feel like i 'm disrespecting david 's memory , but maybe somehow i 'm not . somehow i 'm helping david help the people he loved . tad : and helping the people you love in the process . greenlee : this needs to be over . tad : and maybe it will be , with a little help from you . but there is this pesky thing called `` obstruction of justice . `` greenlee : do you want to know what justice is ? the way that people can move on . a.j . and marissa and anyone else that cared about david can mourn him . they can grieve . they can move on without worrying about what happens next . tad : but , greenlee , if i can figure out you forged the letters , then so could jesse , and liza . greenlee : jesse has his own reasons for wanting this to go away . david was always out for angie and frankie 's blood at the hospital , and now she 's got her own problems . the last thing jesse needs is an investigation that puts more stress on his wife . tad : true enough . greenlee : i did n't kill david , if that 's what you 're thinking . tad : maybe you know who did . greenlee : and maybe i think it 's time to give everyone some peace . tad : how careful were you when you planted the letters ? greenlee : very . tad : fingerprints ? witnesses ? greenlee : i wore gloves . no witnesses . tad : i 'm not gon na lie for you . it 's your mess . greenlee : but you wo n't expose me ? tad : no . greenlee : thank you . you 're doing the right thing . david : how could you do this to me ? fake letters ? suicide ? huh . thank you very much for making me look like a coward . greenlee : no , you do n't . you look like a man who loved deeply and could n't handle it when that love was n't returned . david : oh , please . do n't ask me to believe this has anything to do with my image . greenlee : i did n't write those letters to hurt you , but it 's time that everyone put this behind them . david : `` this `` ? my death ? i 'm sorry it 's such an inconvenience . greenlee : no , i do n't mean that . i am sad for you , david , no matter how you died . david : even if ryan killed me ? greenlee : you provoked him . you provoked everyone , david . why could n't you just let go ? david : ha ! `` let go . `` as in kill myself , right ? greenlee : i have a lot to make up for . i 'm trying . david : oh , greenlee , give me a break . the only thing you 're trying to do is save ryan , and you may very well do that . but before that happens , you look me in the eye right now , and you tell me that you could live with the guilt . [ scene_break ] natalia : all i 'm saying is that if somebody was honing in on my man , i 'd want to know about it . brot : but randi just told you , she and frankie are just friends with madison . i do n't understand what the big deal is . natalia : mm - hmm . when madison gets in trouble or she needs advice , who does she latch onto ? her friend randi , who she sees every day at work ? uh - uh . she 's always running straight to frankie . brot : did you ever think that maybe it 's because she wants a guy 's opinion ? natalia : did you ever think maybe she just wanted the guy in case things do n't work out with ryan ? brot : listen , natalia , frankie is beyond in love with randi . natalia : and that 's the way it 's gon na stay . give randi a little heads - up so she can shut it down before anything comes of it . brot : comes of what ? a few smiles between madison and frankie ? natalia : i know what i 've seen , brot . brot : you know what ? and that suspicion makes you a great cop . natalia : thank you . brot : but it 's not one of your better qualities when you take this badge off . natalia : you know , almost all we see in this job is the ugly in relationships . love and promises turn to anger and hate . what ? brot : what are you , some cynic ? natalia : at least i 'm not gullible . brot : or maybe i just have a little bit more faith in human nature .

[ sighs ] i had a lot of difficulties lately . i 've been absentminded a lot because problems with my business and , um ... problems with other family members and trying to rescue them and all that . meredith : it sounds busy . who rescued you ? victor : but i 'm not complaining . i really am not . i mean , i took my role as father and head of the company very seriously . i loved it , embraced it with open arms . but now to deal with my children turning against me during the trial -- tough . meredith : that must have hurt . victor : more than i ever imagined . adam : dylan , you realize this whole damn thing is a setup , right ? dylan : [ scoffs ] what -- what are you talking about ? adam : are you serious ? my father . he 's pissed off at me 'cause i would n't lie on the witness stand to keep him out of prison . dylan : so you 're saying victor convinced sage to write those things -- adam : no , no , no . not sage . i 'm not saying sage did it . i 'm saying he had the journal doctored . dylan : and he was able to do this from prison ? chelsea : think about it , dylan . of all people , victor would be able to do this . adam : you 're damn right . just like he was able to manipulate the newman board members from prison to sell victoria 's company right out from under her nose . dylan : and this is all for revenge ? chelsea : with victoria , a company that was so important to her , brash & sassy , he was able to do it . and then with adam -- adam : well , with me , he 'll just go the extra mile to screw me over . there 's no big shocker there . dylan : come on . setting you up for murder ? that 's -- adam : these charges are n't gon na stick , all right ? that 's not the point . i 'm innocent . this investigation 's gon na be a nuisance . that 's exactly what he wants , right ? he wants to piss me off . i let my guard down . and then he comes in with something more devastating . that 's the plan . dylan : so this is the warning shot ? chelsea : or a trap . it 's classic sleight of hand . distract over there while you make the real move right here . adam : i 'm not falling for it , you know . so while you guys are looking at constance 's body for evidence , i suggest you also look at the diary , try to find some forensic evidence that proves that it was falsified . while you 're at it , maybe add a few more years to that son of a bitch 's sentence . could you do that for me ? chelsea : you -- you do believe us , right ? dylan : i mean , i would n't put anything past victor newman . adam : there you go . dylan : all right . if the autopsy report shows no signs of foul play , we 'll drop the whole thing . adam : all right . you 're not gon na find anything , man . i appreciate that . thanks for coming over , and , uh , let me know when this is over . dylan : yeah , i 'll do that . adam : thank you . [ door opens ] [ door closes ] chelsea : you 're worried , are n't you ? adam : i 'm not worried . i 'm surprised . i 'm angry . chelsea : how can you be surprised that victor would go after you ? adam : no , i 'm not surprised that he 'd come after me . it was just a matter of time before that anvil dropped . what i 'm angry about is the fact that he would use sage like this to get what he wants . sweetheart , we just buried that poor woman . you were great , though , you know . you and me both , actually , keeping dylan on track there . teamwork . [ chuckles ] chelsea : yeah . adam : listen , i do n't want you to worry about this , okay ? chelsea : no , no , it 's not that . i ... i do n't believe anything in that journal . adam : good . chelsea : and i think the truth will come out eventually , that , you know , that it 's all lies . adam : what 's the matter ? chelsea : you know , it 's -- it 's just that that lie , that accusation , it takes me back to that place , that time ... that long period of time when you let me think that you were dead . you know , you were hiding from the police , you were hiding behind another man 's identity even when you came back to genoa city . you know , it just makes me think back on that time when everything you said to me was a lie . i mean , everything about -- adam : not everything . baby , if you want , if you need to do that , you can ask me . chelsea : i do n't want to ask you . adam : okay , well , then i 'll just tell you . i would never hurt constance bingham , all right ? i have nothing but affection for that woman . she helped me get back to you and connor . she gave me a second chance at life . why -- i 'm not a killer . you know that , right ? you know me . meredith : so , how was that meeting with adam ? victor : oh . let 's say very confrontational . meredith : [ chuckles ] no kidding . victor : yep . you know , i 'd say he 's my most difficult child . he was always fascinated between trying to get my approval and trying to best me . but what he said to me last time he was in the visiting room was downright vicious . meredith : as you know , i had n't spoken to my dad in years . i mean , we had nothing . but sometimes anger is a place to start . now , it may not have been the most pleasant conversation you had with your son , but ... victor : but it was a conversation . hmm . meredith : adam makes the effort to show up . i think you need to look past the angry tone and the threats and see that for what it is . summer : grandpa has every right to be angry . his whole family turned their backs on him . nikki : and he has turned his back on us . summer : no , actually , he -- he has n't . he loves all of us so much , grandma . we are his whole life . and he has just given and given to us , and he 's never asked for anything in return . nikki : my darling . there has been a very high price . and how can you set aside all the crimes he 's committed , the people he has hurt ? summer : i am not forgetting any of that -- who we lost or what my mom has been through . but grandpa did n't expect those things to happen . nikki : victor set those things in motion . summer : okay , so we all have reasons not to forgive grandpa , especially me . but if i go my whole life blaming grandpa , then i am ignoring every good thing he 's ever done for any of us , especially the fact that he wants to make things right right now . all he wants is a chance , and i am just asking you to give him that chance . please . for your family . for yourself , okay ? do you really want to go the rest of your life without him ? nikki : i do n't want to go another day without him . summer : okay , then do n't . nikki : darling , it 's much more complicated than that . and i understand it would be [ sighs ] just futile for me to try to explain to you why i have to break away from victor . but , honey , i need to do it . i have to do this for me . victoria : hank 's tavern . [ sighs ] victoria , we were so impressed with the proposal you submitted . victoria : uh , thanks , dan . i 'm glad you liked it . i was n't sure if you understood our concerns , but this proposal definitely demonstrates otherwise . victoria : well , i 'm glad we could finally come to a meeting of the minds . [ chuckles ] it 's the kind of thing victor would have done . i understand now why you keep that picture up there . motivation . victoria : uh , yes . that 's it . exactly . [ chuckles ] victoria : hmm . [ cell phone rings ] luca : hello ? victoria : luca ? why are you answering summer 's phone ? luca : she 's busy at the moment . victoria : well , tell her to get over here now . [ slams phone ] [ sighs ] dylan : thanks for agreeing to meet me , michael . michael : you piqued my curiosity . what could i possibly do for the gcpd ? dylan : well , i am , uh , gathering information for a case , and i was hoping you can enlighten me with some of the things you may have seen or heard while being retained by victor or in your ongoing role as adviser to victoria and the family . michael : all right , all right , all right . you know what ? i may be a suspended lawyer , but i 'm not quite ready to confide in the gcpd as my best friend . dylan : well , i 'm not asking you to violate attorney / client privilege . [ sighs ] i 'm trying to determine if victor is working with somebody on the outside , a contact who can engineer an elaborate plot to frame somebody . michael : well , that depends on who victor is framing and why . dylan : well , possibly adam because -- michael : oh , hoo , hoo , hoo , wait . i know that particular `` because . `` because victor is out for revenge against his entire family . victor : you 've given me a new perspective . meredith : well , you did the same for me . so it 's only fair . without your encouragement , i never would have reached out to my father . victor : talking to you about all this seems very easy and very natural . meredith : well , i 'm an easy set of ears . victor : you are . i enjoyed kissing you . meredith : yeah , about that ... victor : i think i know what you 're about to say . i think we need to keep this on a professional level . [ telephone rings ] meredith : infirmary . okay . thank you . you have a visitor . victor : okay . victoria : where 's summer ? luca : i did n't tell her about the call . victoria : you did n't tell her ? luca : i did n't think summer should have to stand here and be berated by you for doing a good job . victoria : and how do you know that she did a good job ? luca : i know summer . i know her attributes . victoria : i do n't suppose you had anything to do with an e - mail that she sent . luca : i may have read an early draft of it . victoria : an early draft . you know , appeasing newman 's oil division is not a job that my niece is authorized to handle , and it 's not a job that she 's capable of handling on her own , so she must have had some help . your plan is transparent , luca , and it 's futile . luca : my plan ? victoria : let 's drop all the pretense , shall we ? luca : as you wish . victoria : close the door . victor : hi , my sweetheart . summer : hi , grandpa . victor : hmm . i 'm so happy . so happy you came by . hmm ? summer : i 'm not so happy to be here . victor : sit down , sweetheart . summer : not under these circumstances . i just -- i came here to prepare you . um ... victor : for what ? summer : grandma is filing for divorce . victor : where 'd you hear that ? summer : michael . he came and broke the news to victoria and me , and then i saw michael and grandma together just now . victor : i see . summer : i went to talk to grandma myself to beg her not to go through with it , and i tried to remind her of all the amazing things you 've ever done for all of us . i just ... i do n't know why she would do this to you . i do n't understand her . i - i do n't understand any of them . victor : nor do i . [ sighs ] i guess she 's willing to throw it all away . summer : grandpa , i 'm really , really sorry . victor : thank you , sweetheart , for coming by and telling me , okay ? thank you for your loyalty . summer : you 're always gon na have it . victor : it is all falling apart around me . except you . you 're the one constant . you 're the future of this family . victoria : you 're using summer , and you 've somehow convinced her that you can be trusted . you 've turned her head to the extent where she 's feeding you company secrets , specifics on private phone calls that she overheard in this office . luca : let me ask you something . how was the proposal received by the executives from the oil division ? victoria : that 's beside the point . luca : that 's exactly the point . the proposal worked . and please note that we put your name on it . i was n't after any sort of credit . victoria : well , of course you were n't , especially since you do n't work here , do you ? luca : but summer does . victoria : what is your motive , luca ? luca : to help your company . victoria : that is such bull . luca : look , victoria , you 're in the unenviable position of stepping in for your father , managing executives who are fiercely loyal to victor and dubious of your leadership style , even after all these years . is it fair ? probably not . but you 've already had one of your prized divisions sold out from under you . and since oil production is of no particular interest to you -- victoria : summer told you all that . luca : your niece was understandably concerned about her family 's company . victoria : and you were quick to guide her and show her how she could just make everything all better . luca : no , summer grasped the problem and the solution . i simply provided the particulars . victoria : what if you had gotten her fired ? luca : you would n't do that . she 's a good worker . she 's smart , she 's capable , and her last name is newman . your father would have been in full support of what she did . victoria : the last thing my father would want is luca santori involved in newman enterprises . that 's one thing that he and i can both agree on . luca : and yet here i am . victoria : stay the hell away from my company . luca : anything else ? victoria : stop using my niece . luca : or you 'll fire her ? got it . look , victoria , a bit of advice before i go . i know what it 's like to be dismissed , underestimated . but it would be a mistake for you to do that with summer . not only is she smart and talented . she 's also a direct conduit to victor , the only newman he still trusts . why would n't you use that to your advantage ? victoria : get out . [ door closes ] chelsea : we 've got to figure out how victor was able to pull this off . adam : mm - hmm . yeah , starting with when he was able to get his hands on that journal . and i 'm guessing before the trial would have been his best opportunity . chelsea : but why would he even want to do that then ? adam : well , to punish me . yeah . chelsea : long before there was something to punish you for ? adam : well , victor likes to play the long game , right ? so he probably -- he -- he -- he forged that journal so he had leverage , right ? sort of like an insurance policy against me given our history . chelsea : i just do n't understand . you guys were on relatively good terms at that point . and this is n't about threatening blackmail to keep you in check . adam : no , this is about me being convicted of first - degree murder . chelsea : i ca n't believe that victor would go this far this time . i mean , it must -- [ scoffs ] it must be because all of his family members turned on him , and now his main focus in life is revenge . adam : yeah . [ sighs ] chelsea : adam . do n't do this . do n't let him get in your head . do n't let him hurt you . let 's just focus , okay ? let 's just -- let 's think . let 's -- let 's think like he would . adam : okay , yeah . um ... well , i guess after the sentencing , that 's when he would have been angry enough to do something like this , right ? chelsea : right , but he would have needed help from the outside , somebody who would be willing to do it for a price . adam : someone who had it in for me . chelsea : and , unfortunately , that 's not a short list . adam : you know , it would have to be somebody who wanted to prove themselves to victor , right , had no qualms about sacrificing me in the process . chelsea : you do n't think that -- adam : i do n't know . i do n't know , but i 'm sure as hell gon na find out . chelsea : i 'm coming with you . adam : come on . nikki : how are you ? victor : that 's what you 're here to ask me ? say it . nikki : i love you . victor : say it . nikki : i do n't want to do this , but i have to -- victor : say it ! nikki : i 'm filing for divorce . i tried , victor . i tried everything to save our marriage , to save you from yourself , but you do n't want to be saved . victor : what 's the real reason ? nikki : i do n't know what you mean by that . victor : i want the truth . nikki : you think there 's another man ? there is n't . victor : the truth , please . nikki : you said that you would n't forgive me . you made that very clear . and i ca n't live that way , not anymore . so i 'm just asking that you please not fight me on this . victor : i wo n't fight you on this , okay ? long past that time . you and i have nothing to fight about anymore . nothing left . travis : guess you just ca n't stay away . victoria : uh , yeah . i tried . but it turns out that i need a huge favor . travis : name it . victoria : okay , well , i left my phone at your place , and i was hoping that maybe i could just -- travis : you mean this phone ? victoria : yes ! thank you . my life is on that phone . what are you doing ? travis : negotiating . victoria : i do n't have time for this . i have to get back to work . travis : i 'm good playing this your way , tori . anonymous , no questions . victoria : okay , great . so then what 's the problem ? travis : i 'm not the kind of guy that sleeps with a married woman . victor : [ chuckles ] i spent years digging you out of a bottle , and now you insult me . nikki : insult you ? for asking for a divorce that you just agreed was the -- victor : you insult me by your alliances with people like jack abbott ! nikki : this has nothing to do with jack . victor : you have got me exactly where you want me , do n't you ? nikki : victor , that is not true ! victor : you have actually manipulated my children to turn against me ! nikki : all right , stop ! now you are rewriting history . let me remind you , i did n't bring that criminal to town . i did n't have jack kidnapped . and i did n't -- victor : you cavorted with other men ! nikki : that is not true . victor : that ended it for me ! nikki : all right , enough . victor : do n't you worry about this ! no fight about property , no fight about money , nothing ! nikki : that 's fine . i do n't want or need anything from you . victor : you may regret saying those words . trust me . nikki : i already have what 's important to me . my family and my children . victor : great . good for you . nikki : you were supposed to be a part of that family . victor : you come here and serve me divorce papers , and now you tell me i was supposed to be a part of that family ? are you serious ? ! nikki : all i did was have the papers expedited . that 's it . victor : good ! nikki : someday when you finally snap out of it and realize that you 're all alone , you 'll have nobody to blame but yourself ! victor : get the hell out of here ! nikki : do n't worry . michael : there were detailed emotional entries in sage 's diary documenting her realization that adam , who was posing as constance 's grandson gabriel at the time , poisoned the old woman . dylan : because constance figured out that adam was n't gabriel and she was gon na expose him to the police . michael : and yet sage remained silent this whole time . dylan : yeah , she remained silent , but it was laid out in the pages about her own fears of what adam would do to her if he knew she was on to him . that 's why she remained silent . michael : that is a compelling story , but a bit of a reach , do n't you think , since the woman was what -- 300 , 400 years old ? dylan : that 's a bit of a reach . michael : yeah , it 's a bit -- you know what ? the point being , everything is moot if constance died of natural causes , which is very likely since she was ... about 200 years old . dylan : my point is that there 's motive , method , and opportunity for murder laid out in those pages . which means there 's a possibility that adam actually did this . luca : where 's victoria ? adam : i 'm sure my sister wo n't mind us using her office to take care of you . luca : what are you talking about ? adam : the journal that you had forged . it was you , right ? luca : journal ? i -- what journal ? adam : oh , come on , luca . you 've been working on the outside doing my father 's bidding ever since you had me fired from that hedge fund . luca : i have no idea what you 're talking about . journals ? forgery ? i -- and i already told you . i did n't get you fired . adam : uh - huh . like hell you did n't . chelsea : adam . adam : now , why do n't you tell me what you did , and why do n't you tell me what you know ?

dylan : as we speak . adam : huh . dylan : are you disappointed ? adam : i 'm thrilled . i can put this crazy accusation behind me and start collecting my apologies . dylan : what 's wrong ? is that how you feel , chelsea ? chelsea : uh , right now , i 'm feeling a little suspicious , actually , dylan . dylan : of your husband ? chelsea : no , of you . i mean , you could have called to let us know about the body being exhumed . why did you feel the need to tell us in person ? dylan : well , because sage was very specific in her diary about , you know , how and why adam may have killed constance . adam : may have killed ? i -- chelsea : oh , god . adam : i did n't kill anyone , all right ? killing an old woman to protect my iden -- this is ridiculous ! it makes no sense ! not to mention the fact that it 's a lie , dylan . chelsea : why are you here ? dylan : well , i wanted to give you a second chance to add to your statement before the forensic results are in . so , if there 's anything else you want to say , adam , now 's the time . luca : we are celebrating your successful handling of the unrest in the newman energy division . summer : oh , well , then we should be celebrating you . victoria said all those guys needed was to be dazzled with facts , figures , and projections . luca : which you supplied . summer : okay , but without you , i would not have been able to put together that comprehensive of a proposal that fast . luca : well , i was raised around all kinds of commodity trading . well , that 's actually a nice way to state what my family was involved in , but oil is just another commodity . that part was easy . summer : okay , but still . luca : look , stop dismissing your achievement . you had the smarts to circumvent what was about to be a catastrophic problem for newman enterprises . and you had the guts to communicate with those executives . you addressed their concerns , summer . summer : yeah , well , sending an e - mail from my aunt -- the c.e.o . -- without her knowledge , i do not think that she 's gon na see that as brave . she 'll probably end up firing me . luca : yeah , but do you think you did the right thing ? summer : yeah , especially after seeing the initial responses hitting my aunt victoria 's inbox praising her diplomacy . i just hope that she 'll be more happy than angry . luca : no matter what victoria says , you saved her , summer . you kept her from making a huge mistake because she 's too distracted by things going on in her personal life . summer : okay , well , that 's kind of random . what do oil rigs have to do with my aunt victoria 's personal life ? [ door closes ] victoria : [ sighs ] [ sighs ] no . luca : it 's no secret that victoria and billy 's messy relationship turned ugly when she had him removed from jabot . summer : okay , yeah , but that does n't -- luca : i mean , your uncle retaliated by buying her prized brash & sassy out from under her . summer : yes , that bothered her , but -- luca : so it 's personal . summer : okay , you 're making it seem like my aunt victoria got all weepy just because -- luca : who said anything about weepy ? no , i - i ca n't see victoria going in that direction . i just -- she just certainly has n't been rational at the office . summer : what are you talking about ? my aunt would never let her personal life affect her work . luca : you 're the one who told me that she was n't exactly professional when she responded to the oil executives ' concerns and that she said herself that the thing with billy -- summer : okay , yes , i know what i said , but maybe i should n't have blabbed those things to you since they 're so personal . luca : [ sighs ] you 're feeling guilty , right ? look , do n't . summer : yeah , i am feeling a little guilty . i mean , maybe i should n't have gone behind her back . maybe i should have run the proposal by her before sending it out . luca : summer , summer , you made a tough decision , but the right decision for the company , for every employee and member of the newman family . you can be sure your grandfather would see it that way . victor would be so proud and so grateful that you 're looking out for his company . summer : yeah , i - i hope so . i ... luca : what ? what is it ? summer : [ sighs ] my grandma 's over there talking to michael baldwin . they 're probably talking about the divorce . luca : try not to let it upset you . summer : yeah , i 'm trying , but it 's hard . i mean , have n't they punished my grandpa enough ? i mean , he 's paying for what he did in prison . i do n't know how she can turn her back on him like this . luca : i do n't know . having been sucker - punched like that by my own ex ... summer : i know , and i know how awful that was for you , and i just want to convince my grandma how wrong she is for doing this to him . luca : maybe you can . michael : i have known you and victor a very long time . nikki : are you about to advise me to drop this ? michael : it 's not like you have n't tried divorcing before . nikki : yes , that 's true . we always found our way back to each other . this time , it 's very different . michael : i hope you 're taking into account how very different it is this time . nikki : okay , now that sounds like a warning . michael : victor 's in a very , very bad place , nikki . nikki : i know , michael . he is very angry with everybody . michael : he is utterly betrayed , and he feels yours is the worst betrayal of all . nikki : yes , i know . he refuses to believe that i did what i did to try to help him , to show him where he went wrong . he thinks i should just ignore all of the heinous things that he did , i should have stood up with him against the children , against the law , against what was right . michael : he feels if you had taken his side , he would be a free man now . nikki : well , that may or may not be true . i do n't know . but i could n't condone the things he had done , michael . i just could n't . michael : there is something you can do . put off filing . nikki : no . michael : i 'm not saying you should do it for him . nikki : i know you 're trying to look after me . i know that . michael : if you divorce him now , that may be it between you . he wo n't forgive . there will be no turning back . you need to be very sure about this . nikki : i love him . i will always love him . and that 's why i have to do this , michael . michael : knowing the risk ? nikki : there is no risk . he has made it abundantly clear that he is not ever going to forgive me -- ever . so then what 's the point in hanging on ? summer : because you love him . no matter what grandpa has said in anger and no matter what has happened , you are the love of his life . victor : i have n't been this open and honest with anyone for a long time . meredith : what about your wife ? victor : yeah ? what about my wife ? [ sighs ] i had a lot of difficulties lately . i 've been absentminded a lot because problems with my business and , um ... problems with other family members and trying to rescue them and all that . meredith : it sounds busy . who rescued you ? victor : but i 'm not complaining . i really am not . i mean , i took my role as father and head of the company very seriously . i loved it , embraced it with open arms . but now to deal with my children turning against me during the trial -- tough . meredith : that must have hurt . victor : more than i ever imagined . adam : dylan , you realize this whole damn thing is a setup , right ? dylan : [ scoffs ] what -- what are you talking about ? adam : are you serious ? my father . he 's pissed off at me 'cause i would n't lie on the witness stand to keep him out of prison . dylan : so you 're saying victor convinced sage to write those things -- adam : no , no , no . not sage . i 'm not saying sage did it . i 'm saying he had the journal doctored . dylan : and he was able to do this from prison ? chelsea : think about it , dylan . of all people , victor would be able to do this . adam : you 're damn right . just like he was able to manipulate the newman board members from prison to sell victoria 's company right out from under her nose . dylan : and this is all for revenge ? chelsea : with victoria , a company that was so important to her , brash & sassy , he was able to do it . and then with adam -- adam : well , with me , he 'll just go the extra mile to screw me over . there 's no big shocker there . dylan : come on . setting you up for murder ? that 's -- adam : these charges are n't gon na stick , all right ? that 's not the point . i 'm innocent . this investigation 's gon na be a nuisance . that 's exactly what he wants , right ? he wants to piss me off . i let my guard down . and then he comes in with something more devastating . that 's the plan . dylan : so this is the warning shot ? chelsea : or a trap . it 's classic sleight of hand . distract over there while you make the real move right here . adam : i 'm not falling for it , you know . so while you guys are looking at constance 's body for evidence , i suggest you also look at the diary , try to find some forensic evidence that proves that it was falsified . while you 're at it , maybe add a few more years to that son of a bitch 's sentence . could you do that for me ? chelsea : you -- you do believe us , right ? dylan : i mean , i would n't put anything past victor newman . adam : there you go . dylan : all right . if the autopsy report shows no signs of foul play , we 'll drop the whole thing . adam : all right . you 're not gon na find anything , man . i appreciate that . thanks for coming over , and , uh , let me know when this is over . dylan : yeah , i 'll do that . adam : thank you . [ door opens ] [ door closes ] chelsea : you 're worried , are n't you ? adam : i 'm not worried . i 'm surprised . i 'm angry . chelsea : how can you be surprised that victor would go after you ? adam : no , i 'm not surprised that he 'd come after me . it was just a matter of time before that anvil dropped . what i 'm angry about is the fact that he would use sage like this to get what he wants . sweetheart , we just buried that poor woman . you were great , though , you know . you and me both , actually , keeping dylan on track there . teamwork . [ chuckles ] chelsea : yeah . adam : listen , i do n't want you to worry about this , okay ? chelsea : no , no , it 's not that . i ... i do n't believe anything in that journal . adam : good . chelsea : and i think the truth will come out eventually , that , you know , that it 's all lies . adam : what 's the matter ? chelsea : you know , it 's -- it 's just that that lie , that accusation , it takes me back to that place , that time ... that long period of time when you let me think that you were dead . you know , you were hiding from the police , you were hiding behind another man 's identity even when you came back to genoa city . you know , it just makes me think back on that time when everything you said to me was a lie . i mean , everything about -- adam : not everything . baby , if you want , if you need to do that , you can ask me . chelsea : i do n't want to ask you . adam : okay , well , then i 'll just tell you . i would never hurt constance bingham , all right ? i have nothing but affection for that woman . she helped me get back to you and connor . she gave me a second chance at life . why -- i 'm not a killer . you know that , right ? you know me . meredith : so , how was that meeting with adam ? victor : oh . let 's say very confrontational . meredith : [ chuckles ] no kidding . victor : yep . you know , i 'd say he 's my most difficult child . he was always fascinated between trying to get my approval and trying to best me . but what he said to me last time he was in the visiting room was downright vicious . meredith : as you know , i had n't spoken to my dad in years . i mean , we had nothing . but sometimes anger is a place to start . now , it may not have been the most pleasant conversation you had with your son , but ... victor : but it was a conversation . hmm . meredith : adam makes the effort to show up . i think you need to look past the angry tone and the threats and see that for what it is . summer : grandpa has every right to be angry . his whole family turned their backs on him . nikki : and he has turned his back on us . summer : no , actually , he -- he has n't . he loves all of us so much , grandma . we are his whole life . and he has just given and given to us , and he 's never asked for anything in return . nikki : my darling . there has been a very high price . and how can you set aside all the crimes he 's committed , the people he has hurt ? summer : i am not forgetting any of that -- who we lost or what my mom has been through . but grandpa did n't expect those things to happen . nikki : victor set those things in motion . summer : okay , so we all have reasons not to forgive grandpa , especially me . but if i go my whole life blaming grandpa , then i am ignoring every good thing he 's ever done for any of us , especially the fact that he wants to make things right right now . all he wants is a chance , and i am just asking you to give him that chance . please . for your family . for yourself , okay ? do you really want to go the rest of your life without him ? nikki : i do n't want to go another day without him . summer : okay , then do n't . nikki : darling , it 's much more complicated than that . and i understand it would be [ sighs ] just futile for me to try to explain to you why i have to break away from victor . but , honey , i need to do it . i have to do this for me . victoria : hank 's tavern . [ sighs ] victoria , we were so impressed with the proposal you submitted . victoria : uh , thanks , dan . i 'm glad you liked it . i was n't sure if you understood our concerns , but this proposal definitely demonstrates otherwise . victoria : well , i 'm glad we could finally come to a meeting of the minds . [ chuckles ] it 's the kind of thing victor would have done . i understand now why you keep that picture up there . motivation . victoria : uh , yes . that 's it . exactly . [ chuckles ] victoria : hmm . [ cell phone rings ] luca : hello ? victoria : luca ? why are you answering summer 's phone ? luca : she 's busy at the moment . victoria : well , tell her to get over here now . [ slams phone ] [ sighs ] dylan : thanks for agreeing to meet me , michael . michael : you piqued my curiosity . what could i possibly do for the gcpd ? dylan : well , i am , uh , gathering information for a case , and i was hoping you can enlighten me with some of the things you may have seen or heard while being retained by victor or in your ongoing role as adviser to victoria and the family . michael : all right , all right , all right . you know what ? i may be a suspended lawyer , but i 'm not quite ready to confide in the gcpd as my best friend . dylan : well , i 'm not asking you to violate attorney / client privilege . [ sighs ] i 'm trying to determine if victor is working with somebody on the outside , a contact who can engineer an elaborate plot to frame somebody . michael : well , that depends on who victor is framing and why . dylan : well , possibly adam because -- michael : oh , hoo , hoo , hoo , wait . i know that particular `` because . `` because victor is out for revenge against his entire family . victor : you 've given me a new perspective . meredith : well , you did the same for me . so it 's only fair . without your encouragement , i never would have reached out to my father . victor : talking to you about all this seems very easy and very natural . meredith : well , i 'm an easy set of ears . victor : you are . i enjoyed kissing you . meredith : yeah , about that ... victor : i think i know what you 're about to say . i think we need to keep this on a professional level . [ telephone rings ] meredith : infirmary . okay . thank you . you have a visitor . victor : okay . victoria : where 's summer ? luca : i did n't tell her about the call . victoria : you did n't tell her ? luca : i did n't think summer should have to stand here and be berated by you for doing a good job . victoria : and how do you know that she did a good job ? luca : i know summer . i know her attributes . victoria : i do n't suppose you had anything to do with an e - mail that she sent . luca : i may have read an early draft of it . victoria : an early draft . you know , appeasing newman 's oil division is not a job that my niece is authorized to handle , and it 's not a job that she 's capable of handling on her own , so she must have had some help . your plan is transparent , luca , and it 's futile . luca : my plan ? victoria : let 's drop all the pretense , shall we ? luca : as you wish . victoria : close the door . victor : hi , my sweetheart . summer : hi , grandpa . victor : hmm . i 'm so happy . so happy you came by . hmm ? summer : i 'm not so happy to be here . victor : sit down , sweetheart . summer : not under these circumstances . i just -- i came here to prepare you . um ... victor : for what ? summer : grandma is filing for divorce . victor : where 'd you hear that ? summer : michael . he came and broke the news to victoria and me , and then i saw michael and grandma together just now . victor : i see . summer : i went to talk to grandma myself to beg her not to go through with it , and i tried to remind her of all the amazing things you 've ever done for all of us . i just ... i do n't know why she would do this to you . i do n't understand her . i - i do n't understand any of them . victor : nor do i . [ sighs ] i guess she 's willing to throw it all away . summer : grandpa , i 'm really , really sorry . victor : thank you , sweetheart , for coming by and telling me , okay ? thank you for your loyalty . summer : you 're always gon na have it . victor : it is all falling apart around me . except you . you 're the one constant . you 're the future of this family . victoria : you 're using summer , and you 've somehow convinced her that you can be trusted . you 've turned her head to the extent where she 's feeding you company secrets , specifics on private phone calls that she overheard in this office . luca : let me ask you something . how was the proposal received by the executives from the oil division ? victoria : that 's beside the point . luca : that 's exactly the point . the proposal worked . and please note that we put your name on it . i was n't after any sort of credit . victoria : well , of course you were n't , especially since you do n't work here , do you ? luca : but summer does . victoria : what is your motive , luca ? luca : to help your company . victoria : that is such bull . luca : look , victoria , you 're in the unenviable position of stepping in for your father , managing executives who are fiercely loyal to victor and dubious of your leadership style , even after all these years . is it fair ? probably not . but you 've already had one of your prized divisions sold out from under you . and since oil production is of no particular interest to you -- victoria : summer told you all that . luca : your niece was understandably concerned about her family 's company . victoria : and you were quick to guide her and show her how she could just make everything all better . luca : no , summer grasped the problem and the solution . i simply provided the particulars . victoria : what if you had gotten her fired ? luca : you would n't do that . she 's a good worker . she 's smart , she 's capable , and her last name is newman . your father would have been in full support of what she did . victoria : the last thing my father would want is luca santori involved in newman enterprises . that 's one thing that he and i can both agree on . luca : and yet here i am . victoria : stay the hell away from my company . luca : anything else ? victoria : stop using my niece . luca : or you 'll fire her ? got it . look , victoria , a bit of advice before i go . i know what it 's like to be dismissed , underestimated . but it would be a mistake for you to do that with summer . not only is she smart and talented . she 's also a direct conduit to victor , the only newman he still trusts . why would n't you use that to your advantage ? victoria : get out . [ door closes ] chelsea : we 've got to figure out how victor was able to pull this off . adam : mm - hmm . yeah , starting with when he was able to get his hands on that journal . and i 'm guessing before the trial would have been his best opportunity . chelsea : but why would he even want to do that then ? adam : well , to punish me . yeah . chelsea : long before there was something to punish you for ? adam : well , victor likes to play the long game , right ? so he probably -- he -- he -- he forged that journal so he had leverage , right ? sort of like an insurance policy against me given our history . chelsea : i just do n't understand . you guys were on relatively good terms at that point . and this is n't about threatening blackmail to keep you in check . adam : no , this is about me being convicted of first - degree murder . chelsea : i ca n't believe that victor would go this far this time . i mean , it must -- [ scoffs ] it must be because all of his family members turned on him , and now his main focus in life is revenge . adam : yeah . [ sighs ] chelsea : adam . do n't do this . do n't let him get in your head . do n't let him hurt you . let 's just focus , okay ? let 's just -- let 's think . let 's -- let 's think like he would . adam : okay , yeah . um ... well , i guess after the sentencing , that 's when he would have been angry enough to do something like this , right ? chelsea : right , but he would have needed help from the outside , somebody who would be willing to do it for a price . adam : someone who had it in for me . chelsea : and , unfortunately , that 's not a short list . adam : you know , it would have to be somebody who wanted to prove themselves to victor , right , had no qualms about sacrificing me in the process . chelsea : you do n't think that -- adam : i do n't know . i do n't know , but i 'm sure as hell gon na find out . chelsea : i 'm coming with you . adam : come on . nikki : how are you ? victor : that 's what you 're here to ask me ? say it . nikki : i love you . victor : say it . nikki : i do n't want to do this , but i have to -- victor : say it ! nikki : i 'm filing for divorce . i tried , victor . i tried everything to save our marriage , to save you from yourself , but you do n't want to be saved . victor : what 's the real reason ? nikki : i do n't know what you mean by that . victor : i want the truth . nikki : you think there 's another man ? there is n't . victor : the truth , please . nikki : you said that you would n't forgive me . you made that very clear . and i ca n't live that way , not anymore . so i 'm just asking that you please not fight me on this . victor : i wo n't fight you on this , okay ? long past that time . you and i have nothing to fight about anymore . nothing left . travis : guess you just ca n't stay away . victoria : uh , yeah . i tried . but it turns out that i need a huge favor . travis : name it . victoria : okay , well , i left my phone at your place , and i was hoping that maybe i could just -- travis : you mean this phone ? victoria : yes ! thank you . my life is on that phone . what are you doing ? travis : negotiating . victoria : i do n't have time for this . i have to get back to work . travis : i 'm good playing this your way , tori . anonymous , no questions . victoria : okay , great . so then what 's the problem ? travis : i 'm not the kind of guy that sleeps with a married woman . victor : [ chuckles ] i spent years digging you out of a bottle , and now you insult me . nikki : insult you ? for asking for a divorce that you just agreed was the -- victor : you insult me by your alliances with people like jack abbott ! nikki : this has nothing to do with jack . victor : you have got me exactly where you want me , do n't you ? nikki : victor , that is not true ! victor : you have actually manipulated my children to turn against me ! nikki : all right , stop ! now you are rewriting history . let me remind you , i did n't bring that criminal to town . i did n't have jack kidnapped . and i did n't -- victor : you cavorted with other men ! nikki : that is not true . victor : that ended it for me ! nikki : all right , enough . victor : do n't you worry about this ! no fight about property , no fight about money , nothing ! nikki : that 's fine . i do n't want or need anything from you . victor : you may regret saying those words . trust me . nikki : i already have what 's important to me . my family and my children . victor : great . good for you . nikki : you were supposed to be a part of that family . victor : you come here and serve me divorce papers , and now you tell me i was supposed to be a part of that family ? are you serious ? ! nikki : all i did was have the papers expedited . that 's it . victor : good ! nikki : someday when you finally snap out of it and realize that you 're all alone , you 'll have nobody to blame but yourself ! victor : get the hell out of here ! nikki : do n't worry . michael : there were detailed emotional entries in sage 's diary documenting her realization that adam , who was posing as constance 's grandson gabriel at the time , poisoned the old woman . dylan : because constance figured out that adam was n't gabriel and she was gon na expose him to the police . michael : and yet sage remained silent this whole time . dylan : yeah , she remained silent , but it was laid out in the pages about her own fears of what adam would do to her if he knew she was on to him . that 's why she remained silent . michael : that is a compelling story , but a bit of a reach , do n't you think , since the woman was what -- 300 , 400 years old ? dylan : that 's a bit of a reach . michael : yeah , it 's a bit -- you know what ? the point being , everything is moot if constance died of natural causes , which is very likely since she was ... about 200 years old . dylan : my point is that there 's motive , method , and opportunity for murder laid out in those pages . which means there 's a possibility that adam actually did this . luca : where 's victoria ? adam : i 'm sure my sister wo n't mind us using her office to take care of you . luca : what are you talking about ? adam : the journal that you had forged . it was you , right ? luca : journal ? i -- what journal ? adam : oh , come on , luca . you 've been working on the outside doing my father 's bidding ever since you had me fired from that hedge fund . luca : i have no idea what you 're talking about . journals ? forgery ? i -- and i already told you . i did n't get you fired . adam : uh - huh . like hell you did n't . chelsea : adam . adam : now , why do n't you tell me what you did , and why do n't you tell me what you know ? [ scribbling ] [ cell phone rings ] dylan : yeah , this is mcavoy . well , i 'm waiting on constance bingham 's autopsy . so if you 're gon na tell me there 's another delay , i just ca -- you got the results ? was she poisoned ? nikki : honey , i know this is going to upset you , and that 's why i want to tell you myself . i served your grandfather with divorce papers . summer : he must have been really upset . nikki : actually , he could n't have cared less . summer : grandma , that was all an act . when i went to the prison to tell him , he was -- nikki : wait , wait , wait . you went and warned him about this ? summer : yes , i went to prepare him , and when i told him , he was devastated . nikki : okay . he was not devastated . that was an act for you . he does n't want to risk losing the only person who still sees him as the man he was . but he is not that man anymore . summer : yes , he is ! nikki : honey , i know it 's difficult for you to accept . it 's been difficult for me . i 've spent most of my life with victor newman , and i 've never stopped loving him . summer : okay , so then how can you be doing this to him ? nikki : because he 's not victor anymore , all right ? he 's changed . he 's turned into somebody who is just obsessed with revenge . i do n't know what he 's capable of . i do n't even recognize him anymore .

[ voice breaking ] i 'm the one who lost my child . i 'm the one who 's paying the life sentence . billy : i 'm not going after newman anymore . victoria : wait a second . what ? billy : i 'm canceling the orders in the pipeline and selling off all the assets at zero profit . i 'm undoing the damage that paragon has done to your family 's business as -- as much as i can . victoria : billy , i ... i honestly have no idea what to say . what made you come to this decision ? billy : i guess it 's all part of finding forgiveness , is n't it ? when we were standing there at delia 's tree , i felt so much like she was there with us , and it felt so good just to let go . and this trying to put one over on victor , it feels like so much more of the same . i hated living like that . i hated the guy that i was becoming , and i - i do n't want to go back to that . victoria : well , then i guess something good came out of this disaster if it got you to this place . billy : yeah . that was you . i have you to thank for that . lily : you 're moving out ? cane : i ca n't stay in the house with you if you do n't believe a word that 's coming out of my mouth . lily : i have said i 'm sorry over and over . i know what i did was wrong . i 'll say it as many times as i need to . cane : it 's too late , 'cause what is done is done . lily : [ sighs ] okay . so , instead of working on our marriage like a committed couple -- with children , by the way -- you 're gon na sneak off to a hotel room . cane : [ sighs ] lily : you are only hurting the kids . it was bad enough explaining to them why their dad spent a night in jail . cane : we would not be in this situation if you came to me instead of going straight to dylan . lily : oh , so it 's my fault , even though every day the police are finding more evidence ? cane : i do n't care about the evidence . what i care about is the fact that at the first sign of trouble , you went to another man . you did n't come to me with it . this does not concern you ! it does n't concern you ! joe : this is n't the time or the place , all right ? and fighting about this is n't gon na solve the problem at all . cane : of course that 's directed to me , because all you want to do is suck up to her . joe : no , actually , it was directed towards lily . cut the guy a break . abby : is n't it beautiful ? ashley : it 's breathtaking . abby : [ chuckles ] stitch : i did my best . abby : you did great . this is the most gorgeous ring i have ever seen in my whole life , and that means something coming from me . stitch : i guess it does . abby : [ laughs ] ashley : i 'm gon na throw you guys the most amazing wedding ever . so happy for the both of you . abby : thank you . i 'm kind of happy for us , too . stitch : hey , uh , now that my tour duty here is done for the night , i want to take my brand - new fiancée out for a romantic celebration , so let me wrap some things up and then we can scram , all right ? abby : all right . mwah . sounds like a plan . stitch : all right . ashley : congratulations . stitch : yeah . abby : are you really happy for me ? i need to know . ashley : are you happy for you ? are you positive ben 's the one ? i 'm only saying that because , i mean , in all the excitement and everything , you know , maybe you 're not giving yourself a chance to weigh everything properly . have you thought this through ? abby : [ chuckles ] i mean , this is n't sudden . it was n't love at first anything . ben and i have been through a lot . we even walked away from each other , but we could n't stay apart . i have had my doubts . i 'm sure he 's had his . but ben has seen me at my worst . i know about his past . i know everything i need to know , and i do n't need to think about this anymore . i love him , he loves me . we want to be together forever . and we will be . [ chuckles ] ashley : of course , i 'm happy for you . i take that back . i 'm thrilled for you . abby : thank you . neil : well ? gwen : her hand moving -- it was n't some involuntary spasm , was it ? i mean , she 's getting better , right ? dr. neville : the patient is responding to my custom course of treatment very nicely . better than expected , actually . gwen : that 's fantastic . dr. neville : no , miss randall . no , it 's science . neurochemistry , more precise . it 's fascinating , actually . the receptors in the brain are like -- neil : hey , come on . when 's she gon na wake up ? dr. neville : soon . when exactly , i ca n't say . could be a few hours or a few days . the good news is that the patient is on her way back to you . joe : i know what it 's like to be in your situation , cane , all right ? to have your reputation thrown in the gutter , especially when there 's no proof . lily : oh , actually , in this case , there 's a lot of proof . and i was still willing to stand by my husband . cane : you were willing to stand by me ? do you realize how different that is to actually believing in me ? lily : well , you know what ? you 're making it really hard for me to believe in you . cane : what ? you expect me to say thank you ? kevin : chloe is not a danger to anyone . she 's not some violent criminal . mariah : tell that to adam . kevin : well , after she heard about the way he was practically canonized in that courtroom , people pleading for him to go free , as if he was the victim , it got to her ! how could it not ? ! she 's a grieving mother ! paul : right , and now she 's a would - be executioner . kevin : [ sighs ] that 's not fair . she was in a panic . paul : exactly . so listen , kevin , we do n't know how she 's gon na react . we do n't know what she 's gon na do when she 's cornered . trust me . kevin : paul , please -- paul : it would be a mistake to protect her . i 'm telling you . odds are , she 's gon na reach out to you , and i want you to help me put an end to this now , before someone else gets hurt , okay ? kevin : yes . paul : okay ? kevin : okay . paul : okay . [ cell phone vibrates ] yeah . mariah : hey . i hope i did n't upset you with what i said to paul . kevin : no . um ... chloe 's not herself . i realize that . she 's crossed a bunch of lines . and i 'm sorry that she hurt you . mariah : no , it 's not your fault she 's a quick , little minx , but thank you . kevin : how 's your head ? mariah : starting to throb , actually . i 'm gon na go get more ice . chelsea : chloe , you 've come so far . you have worked so hard to put your life back together -- chloe : do n't ! do n't -- do n't act like you know anything about me or what my life is like now , okay ? you are not my friend . friends do n't treat each other like this . chelsea : you kidnapped my son ! i had every reason to hate you , to turn my back on you , but i did n't . i could n't , because we do n't have that kind of relationship . [ sighs ] do you remember the day you were leaving town ? remember , i brought connor by to see you , but not to say goodbye , because i would n't do that . i would n't say goodbye to you . you were the best friend i 've ever had . i told you that day , i told you that we would always stay connected , we would have more time , we would have more dreams because that 's who we are with each other . we 're not enemies ! we 're not strangers ! i care about you too much to let that happen , chloe ! chloe : [ voice breaking ] the only person you care about is adam . the only person that you 're dreaming dreams with is adam , protecting him . chelsea : i am so sorry you 're in so much pain . i really am . but pulling a gun on my husband , running him over with your car , it 's not gon na make things better , and it 's not bringing delia back . chloe : [ sighs ] chelsea : no , you 're not leaving , chloe ! no ! not like this . chloe : let -- let go ! i need to get out of here ! chelsea : there 's no point in running . the police are already looking for the driver . they will figure out it was you if they have n't already , chloe . you 're not gon na get away with trying to kill adam . stop it ! stop ! calm down and think ! this is gon na end ! do n't you want it to be on your terms ? chloe : will you just get out of my way ? i need to go . chelsea : go where ? chloe : i need to be with my daughter , okay ? billy : you 've been there the whole time , patiently nudging me in the right direction , putting up with my toxic attitude . victoria : i knew that you 'd be ready when you were ready . and not one minute sooner . it 's how it is with someone that 's unhappy . they think that they want revenge , but what they really want is peace . nobody wants to feel something that 's fundamentally wrong . ashley : that sounds like me right about now . abby : i love champagne . stitch : yeah ? abby : i love the suite . stitch : [ chuckles ] abby : and i love you . stitch : yeah ? abby : mm - hmm . stitch : i thought you 'd want some bubbly . abby : hmm . what i want right now , it does n't come in a bottle . mnh - mnh . stitch : it 'll keep . abby : [ chuckles ] i wo n't .

'cause you ca n't get your nose out of my marriage . that 's why . joe : you know , i admire lily for the tolerance that she 's displayed here , the love and the devotion she 's given you , because god knows you sure as hell do n't deserve it , and that 's for damn su -- kevin : chloe ? chloe : oh , kevin . kevin . thank god you 're here . kevin : i heard you were looking for me . chloe : yeah , chelsea wo n't let me leave . i just need to get home to my daughter . kevin : your daughter ? chloe : ours .

victoria : okay . my mistake . ashley : yes , your mistake . victoria : or maybe i 'm right and you just do n't want to admit it . ashley : okay . that 's enough . i do n't have to stay and listen to this . victoria : ashley , how long have we known each other ? you 're really not that good at hiding your feelings . but i could understand why you 'd want to . it 's not like we 're best friends . we do n't have to be enemies , though . i 've seen it with my own eyes , the way that you look at ben and the way that he looks at you . ashley : what does that mean ?

john : come on , he 's a grown man . what am i gon na do , force my way into his life ? marlena : well , the man i know , the man i love ... just stood on a dance floor with me and held me in his arms when doctor after doctor said he would never even walk again . so you know what that tells me ?

sami ? marlena : i did , for just a moment . oh , my gosh , i could n't get over seeing them together , actually talking and sort of carrying on together . roman : talk about a miracle , huh ? marlena : i thought it 'd never happen . it was good . it was good . roman : yeah . uh ... how are you ? i mean , the last couple years could n't have been easy for you . marlena : well , i was n't the one trying to rebuild my life . roman : no , no . but you were part of john 's journey , his main support system . you were there when things were good and bad . marlena : yeah , well , there were some hard times ... just in trying to stay strong , not get caught up in the frustration or the anger . and there were times when i did n't know if things would ever get better . roman : but they did . marlena : they did . and now i can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel . wow . roman : doc ... are you sure everything 's okay ? marlena : sure . of course everything 's okay . john : not even a hello for your old man ? brady : i must have missed the big surprise . john : are you surprised ? brady : yeah , i 'm very surprised to see you . john : it 's good to see you , son . brady : it 's good to see you , dad . you 're up and out of the chair , i see . john : yeah , getting stronger every day . brady : i can see that . that 's good . john : so i hear you 've been staying busy at work . brady : oh , yeah . i 've been trying . trying to stay busy . so how did you get out of the chair ?

i 'm really something this day too , i think . hope : you got that right . bo : what was that for ? hope : the other day . for knowing that i needed some time alone to think about gran and grandpa ... before celebrating with everyone else . bo : yeah , i 've been thinking an awful lot about them . you know , how they spent their entire adult life loving only each other . it just kinda makes me think of what my life would be like without you in it . or worse yet ... if i had lost you for good . hope : but you know what , you do n't have to think about that . because that is never , ever going to happen . bo : yeah . i have n't always been the man you deserve , and i have hurt you . taken -- taken some things for granted . hope : bo ... you apologized . i apologized . that 's all in the past . bo : i need you to know that being with you , loving you is the best thing i have ever done . being your husband , the father of your children . that is the most important thing to me in this world . and i promise you in front of these two very important witnesses that i will never take what we have together for granted again . i will never forget how much i love you . chloe : i do n't know how to do this , how to say good - bye to you ... and to salem , again . daniel : well , maybe you need to just focus on what 's ahead of you . jennifer : yeah . i mean , this job in chicago , it sounds amazing . chloe : yeah , it is . i still ca n't believe they picked me . daniel : what ?

marlena : we were just catching up . i saw you with brady . how did that go ? john : about as well as could be expected . marlena : oh , i 'm sorry . i know how much you were looking forward to seeing him . john : i wish the feeling was mutual . marlena : well , maybe he 'll come around . john : come on , doc , he 's my son . he got himself involved in situations he knew he should n't have . he does n't want to admit it , he does n't want to hear me say it , so he 's putting up walls and keeping me at a distance . marlena : and all you want to do is be his father . john : i do n't think he 's gon na give me that chance . marlena : oh . so that 's it ? john : come on , he 's a grown man . what am i gon na do , force my way into his life ? marlena : well , the man i know , the man i love ... just stood on a dance floor with me and held me in his arms when doctor after doctor said he would never even walk again . so you know what that tells me ? john : that i 'm incredibly stubborn ? marlena : that you never give up . you just do n't . not on yourself , and not on your family . kate : austin ? hi . austin : ma ! kate : it 's so good to see you . austin : so good to see you . kate : is carrie with you ? austin : yeah . yes , she is . kate : why did n't you tell me you were coming ? i would have met you at the airport . austin : i know . it was all last - minute . carrie had a trial that got postponed , i had something at work that got put off . and , um ... there 's actually another reason why i did n't say anything . kate : well , what 's that ? austin : because , honestly we did n't know if you were invited here today . kate : oh , come on . so what 's that face ? give me something . it 's a public square , is n't it ? austin : yeah . kate : yeah . okay . so what about billie ? were you able to convince her to come ? austin : i tried , but she could n't make it . but her and chelsea both say hi . kate : i would really have liked to have seen them . austin : no , i know she wanted to . she has n't forgotten and alice and maggie were her first two investors in countess wilhelmina , so she would have loved to have been here to honor that . kate : well , you know , speaking of that ... you see that building over there ? austin : uh , it 's kind of hard to miss . kate : yeah , i know . austin : what about it ? kate : billie did n't tell you , did she ? austin : tell me what ? kate : i -- i am re - launching countess wilhelmina . new -- some twists with it , but this is going to be the headquarters . austin : wow . that 's awesome . kate : yeah . you do n't know how awesome it is . chloe : justin , thank you so much for everything you 've done for me . thank you to the both of you . adrienne : well , it was our pleasure . justin : yeah . chloe : you know , i never really knew what it was to love somebody until parker was born . not like this . adrienne : that little boy 's gon na be so lucky to have you back in his life . i 'll miss you . ej : hey . nicole : hmm . ej : fancy seeing you here . nicole : uh , at the bar ?

gus is the guy . when he took me hostage , my pathetic , sad life passed in front of me , okay ? thank you for picking me up off the floor and all that . that was great . thank you . but i -- i just realized , ej , that i need to rely on myself . i do n't know -- i do n't know what will happen . maybe -- i do n't know what 's going on . maybe i 'm having some sort of spiritual awakening . ej : so you 're staying away from guys for a bit ? nicole : no . just the wrong ones . hope : okay , i 've got the doughnuts . let 's head back before anyone notices we 're gone . bo : hey , with carrie and austin and john and marlena and that millionaire matchmaker person , nobody 's gon na know if we 're gone . hope : they 're gon na notice we 're gone because we 've got the doughnuts . bo : i stand corrected . hope : here . that 's right , you get to carry these . i 'll grab -- oh , you got the keys ?

the same amount 's been deposited every month . bo : and withdrawn a few days later . we 've got a phone number here . hope : but wait , that 's overseas . wait a second , why are these being sent here ?

brady , what are you thinking ? tell me . bo : you 're not gon na like it . hope : no , probably not , but whatever it is , i need to hear it . bo : you know i love your grandma , and i know what kind of integral person she is . but if i were to find this in any other circumstance , anyone else 's home -- an account hidden away for over 20 years ... money coming in , going out , same time every month ... there 's only one conclusion i could draw . hope : i 'm thinking the same thing . is it even possible ? is it ? could someone have been blackmailing my grandmother ? kinsey : so what do you think ? chloe : are you serious ? kinsey : yeah . i mean , i could use a fresh start too . boy , could i . and , god , i would be so helpful . i swear . you know , i could watch parker for you while you 're working at the club . chloe : i mean , hey , if you really want to , i 'm all for it . kinsey : really ?

paul : so , nick , the investigation into adam 's death was closed months ago . a propane leak caused the explosion . nick : and i accepted that conclusion at the time . paul : what 's changed ? nick : well , i have some serious questions about that night at the cabin , and i think dylan did , too . can you get him on the phone ? paul : well , um ... he and i were equally involved in this investigation . nick : all right . will you hear me out then ? paul : of course . i just hope it 's more than a gut feeling . because it 's gon na need something solid to re - open this investigation . nick : i 'd say this qualifies . michael : tomorrow ? your wedding 's tomorrow ? kevin : yep . we decided we love each other much too much to wait . michael : well -- you certainly do n't have any respect for your wedding guests , giving them one day 's notice . kevin : the only ones we care about are coming no matter what , right ? michael : well , you know i 'll be there . kevin : see ? michael : whatever happened to `` make it nice , make it special , do this one right ? `` kevin : it can be all that ! spontaneity is not wrong . michael : [ chuckles ] all right , spill . which one of you brought up fast- tracking this , you or chloe ? chloe : thank you so much . esther : oh , sweetheart , i would not let you down . i will take care of everything . this is so exciting ! chloe : i know ! [ squeals ] esther : [ laughs ] i love it ! chelsea : knock , knock , ladies ! esther : chelsea ! chelsea : what is going on in here ? chloe : i 'm getting married ! chelsea : i know ! chloe : tomorrow ! [ laughs ] chelsea : what ? chloe : i know . i know . but mom promised that she 's going to make it happen . esther : yes . you should have seen the dinner parties that i threw together for mrs. c. i 've so got this . chelsea : i wish i could say the same . um , chloe , you know your dress is n't finished , right ? so why the hurry all of a sudden ? lily : hello again . juliet : lily . hi ! lily : hi , um ... i just spoke to cane , and he told me . juliet : he told you ? lily : yeah , some people would say it 's inappropriate , but we have a really close relationship so he tells me everything . juliet : i want to clarify , i did n't force cane to do anything . lily : well , of course you did n't . juliet : and this does n't upset you ? lily : no . i mean , if you 're good as cane says you are , then i doubt this will slow you down . juliet : lily , you have the wrong impression of me . lily : uh , i do n't think so . victoria : what 's going on ? you did like a complete 180 when i brought up a new role for juliet in genoa city . cane : no , it 's just -- i know how much she wanted to stay in tokyo as the division head , that 's all . victoria : yeah , but i think that this job would be a hefty consolation prize , do n't you ? cane : yeah . absolutely i do . um , i just do n't want to like , you know , deliver any bad news to her , but you know what ? hey , she may not see it that way , and if that 's the case , it 's , uh -- it 's fantastic , is n't it ? victoria : is it ? i mean , is that how you really feel ? cane : she has my endorsement in any way , you know ? i think , um ... we 'd be lucky to have her in any position -- [ clears throat ] any capacity you think is best . victoria : good . that 's what i want to hear . for a minute there , i thought you did n't want juliet here . nick : detectives do n't like coincidences , right ? paul : sure . could you get to your point , nick ? nick : how about the cabin ? you know , it exploded moments after chelsea and i got there . one minute later , and she and connor would have been inside . instead , they were spared . paul : i do n't trust coincidences , but i do believe in lucky breaks . nick : well , to me , that seems incredibly convenient . paul : but for whom , then ? i mean , saying that she and the kid were spared implies that someone set off the explosion . so do you have any proof ? nick : how about the propane leak ? paul : underneath the floorboards ? maybe from the seal connecting the line from the tank to the appliances in the cabin . nick : so , what 's the difference between a defective seal and one that someone maybe sabotaged with , like , a wrench ? paul : forensically speaking , probably nothing . but the csi team may be able to uncover any alterations , but then you know what they 'd want ? nick : proof . paul : which is what we need to get to pull this out of the realm of conjecture . proof or motive . nick : so , if there was a convincing motive , would that be enough to reopen this case ? paul : if it were solid . nick , you got a life -- a full life -- and you 're not a conspiracy theorist . so something had to spark this . nick : you 're right . and it 's not something i just pulled out of thin air . paul : there 's something you 're not telling me , and i think it 's a name , and it might be the first step to reopening this case . so tell me , nick . who do you think did this ? chloe : so , i had this dream last night , and i was getting married and i swear it was so vivid , i could smell the flowers . and i woke up this morning and i thought , `` i do n't want to wait another minute to start the next chapter of our lives , `` so ... i told kevin , i kissed him , and i told him i did n't want to wait , and he said , `` okay , well , if you think that we can get it done , then let 's do it ! `` esther : uh , wait . well , uh , tell the truth , sweetheart . she wanted to have it tonight . chelsea : what ? ! chloe : yes . guilty . i know , that was ridiculously demanding . but my mother is a certified miracle worker . esther : right on both counts . chelsea : well , as the mere mortal seamstress in charge of making this dress that you 're going to be rocking , i 'd say good call , esther . that was well done . chloe : you know , and the other reason -- the sooner that we get married , the sooner that kevin can start the adoption process with bella , and just to think that she can start calling him `` daddy `` ... chelsea : chloe , that 's really wonderful . chloe : but i am not getting married unless i can wear the beautiful gown that you designed for me , so ... it 's kind of up to you . chelsea : it 's , yeah , no pressure or anything . chloe : i know ! surprise ! and it 's the kind of surprise that seems stressful and ... and really not fun until , maybe , you 've had a wonderful cup of coffee . and now maybe it seems like a good surprise , you know ? like the kind that makes life worth living . chelsea : mm - hmm , kind of like the taste of this unbelievably delicious coffee . [ sighing ] oh , you ... you know i 'm in ! [ laughter ] your wedding is going to be unbelievable , and you are going to spend every minute of it in the most stunning wedding dress , looking gorgeous , even if i have to stay up all night making it ! chloe : yay ! esther : oh ! chloe : [ squeals ] esther : [ sighs ] kevin : chloe is not dragging me into this . remember how eager i was to propose ? michael : remember when i advised you to take your time ? that , you forgot . kevin : no , i did n't . i appreciate that . i was just too excited to get started on this new life . michael : yeah , the revised wedding date is a big tip - off . and you never told me whose idea it was ... kevin : chloe , for the record , but i signed on right away because less wedding planning , the better . this way , we get right to the honeymoon -- tahiti , 14 days , one over - water bungalow , 5 million fish . michael : okay , no more questions . save the grilling for the fish . i am behind you 100 % , you know that . kevin : mm - hmm . and you believed in me way before i did . back when i would n't have felt worthy of any of this . michael : i can see that 's changed . and if chloe helped with that , big points for her . kevin : she 's a huge part of it . she believes me , she believes in us . she knows all my flaws and loves me anyway . michael : devil 's advocate . attorney , big brother ... lots of people would say that chloe 's flaws far outnumber your own . kevin : well , they can say it to my face when i 'm chloe 's husband . sharon : uh , i 'm sorry . did -- did kevin just say he 's marrying chloe ? kevin : yep ! tomorrow . is n't it great ? michael : yay . [ chuckles ] kevin : sharon . is there a problem ? sharon : uh , no . no . no , no , no . i 'm just -- i 'm very happy for you . sharon : here ! let me give you a hug . michael : hug it out ! yeah . victoria : i was hoping for better numbers from marketing . they 've been over budget every quarter . cane : so you ca n't afford to create a job in that department , huh ? victoria : bottom line is , hiring juliet will blow the budget , unfortunately . cane : sorry to hear that . victoria : so am i. i really like her . juliet has a very appealing vibe , and i know she 'd be an asset . that report that you gave about the way she performed in tokyo just confirmed it , but unfortunately , we ca n't handle this financial hit . [ sighs ] wait a minute . aha ! cane : what is it ? victoria : [ chuckles ] that 's what it is . finance and accounting has been running a budget surplus for the last three fiscals . so if i move a little money around ... ... then i can make juliet affordable . just like that . voilà ! now , you just have to make sure that she takes the job . lily : okay , i 'll see you next time . wait , wait ! do n't leave . juliet : i am wasting your time . lily : no , no , no . wait , stop . let me finish . i was gon na say that my impression of you is that you 're a bright , driven , resourceful woman who deserved that job today . juliet : the job ? lily : yeah , the one that cane said you lost out on . juliet : [ laughs ] that 's what he told you . lily : yeah ! what did you think he told me ? juliet : i 'm sorry , uh , lily . jet lag is just setting in . i 'm a bit of a wreck . lily : no , it 's fine . and , look , if you need any help , just give me your info and i can keep you in the loop on brash & sassy ! juliet : that 's very sweet of you , but i ca n't impose . lily : no , you 're not . trust me . juliet : well , as much as i love the company , i needed something permanent , like , yesterday . lily : well , it seems to me like you 're a very desirable applicant . juliet : who ca n't get an executive - level position without management experience . but nobody wants to hire a freelancer to manage anything . [ cell phone rings ] lily : uh , go ahead . take it . please . juliet : hello ? victoria : juliet . hi , it 's victoria newman . could you come back to the office ? juliet : it 's okay , victoria . cane explained . you 're not hiring me . victoria : no , not for that position , but how would you feel if i found something else for you ? chloe : `` you are cordially invited to kevin and chloe 's pop - up wedding ! `` chelsea : i love it . chloe : it 's perfect ! esther : okay , chloe , you know ... chloe : oh , right ! yes . okay . sorry . um , flowers on the stairs . stairs and flowers ? yes . i love it all . i love it . esther : okay , good . i just hope i do n't forget everything i just thought of . chelsea : oh , no ! do n't sweat it . i took notes . esther : oh , chelsea , you 're a genius and an artist . chloe : an artistic genius . chelsea : oh , stop . esther : [ laughs ] oh , gosh , this place is just gon na burst into life tomorrow . fun and festive have been in short supply since we lost mrs. c . chloe : oh , look ! someone 's rsvp'ing . [ cell phone ringing ] esther : oh , gosh . the photographer . i 'll be right back . chelsea : okay , so , uh ... i have to confess something . chloe : what ? chelsea : the reason i 'm not fully finished with your dress yet is because i actually took a little detour and i made one for bella . chloe : what ? no . chelsea : yeah ! yeah . it 's the cutest thing ever . it 's so tiny , it 's so pretty , and i 'm just , like , picturing her with that little box , you know , with , like , rose petals ? chloe : mm - hmm . chelsea : great , now i 'm getting emotional . [ laughs ] oh , my goodness gracious . chloe : [ laughs ] chelsea : thank you . you , too ? chloe : yeah , i just ca n't help it . chelsea : oh , gosh . [ sighs ] chloe : let 's be honest . none of this would be happening if it were n't for you . you know , you 're -- you 're my guardian angel . you are . you -- you opened up your home and your business and your heart to bella and me , and your capacity for forgiveness -- i am just in awe of it . chelsea : everybody deserves a second chance . chloe : oh , but it 's so beyond that . i mean , the two of us and the time that we 've spent these past few months , it has taught me more than ever about what it really means to be a friend , and ... you just need to know that i would anything for you . chelsea : okay , you really better knock it off , or we 're gon na need a much bigger box of tissues . chloe : well , that 's too bad , okay , because i 'm always gon na have your back , no matter what , no questions asked . i mean , the hell that i 've been through ... the fact that i could actually feel that about someone ... it 's more healing than you know . honestly . it 's changed my life . so thank you for being my best friend . i love you . chelsea : i love you , too . michael : so , gloria knows nothing about your bumped - up nuptials . kevin : well , you know , i have a list i was working down , and you 're at the top . michael : does this list even include that font of nurturing warmth we call our mother ? kevin : it could if you would add it to your best man duties , which , come on , really just include taking care of the rings , right ? michael : oh , really . you seem to be forgetting my other rather important duty -- planning the bachelor party . kevin : that is a biggie . michael : mm . kevin : okay . leave gloria to me . michael : so , about these rings you mentioned ... have you picked them out ? 'cause you better get on it . kevin : well , i 've narrowed it down to two , which i have on my phone . chloe told me to decide , and i was hoping you could come with me to fenmore 's ... michael : where your best man just happens to have a platinum - level corporate discount ? kevin : exactly . you are the best best man . i 'm also gon na need you to help me pick out something nice to wear to the wedding . michael : it 's called a suit . kevin : yeah , one of those . and i need swim trunks for tahiti . michael : sure . sharon : hi , nick . this is sharon . call me as soon as you get this . paul : so , um ... you never answered me , nick . do you have a name ? nick : if i do n't have a name right now , i hope that means you wo n't dismiss what i 'm telling you . there are some things about the way my brother died that night that do n't sit right with me . paul : well , i 'm sure you get that if we reopen this investigation , there will be certain repercussions for victor . nick : my father would want to know if adam 's death was n't an accident . paul : so , i can infer from that that you do n't suspect him ? nick : zero chance he was involved in that . paul : but someone else was , or so you believe . i also have a theory why you do n't want to name them . you 're worried about spooking this person if they find out they 're a suspect . and you 're also hoping that the gcpd can look into this very quietly without scaring suspect x into hiding . nick : it 's been months , and i 'm worried that your chances at proving something are slipping away . look , please , can you just look into it ? do n't turn your back on adam . i know i ca n't . paul : you know , nick , i have n't forgotten about adam , either , but i need something more -- physical evidence , something that 'll hold up in court . nick : yeah , i understand . paul : short of that , maybe a confession of some kind . a statement that connects the person or persons to the crime . nick : a confession , like , on tape ? paul : mm . anything i can work with would help . nick : hmm . all right . thanks . paul : yeah . listen , i appreciate your gratitude , but you might want to hold off on that a second . you know what we 're up against . sharon : come on , nick ! kevin : thanks . [ sighs ] thank you so much for everything , especially the rings ! chloe is going to freak when i put this on her finger . let me buy you a coffee . any size you want . michael : oh , that sounds like a fair trade . kevin : i will pay you back , i swear . michael : forget it . how many times does my little brother get married ? let me see . 3 , 4 ... you know what ? never mind . as they say in the courtroom , `` withdrawn . `` kevin : ah ! amazing . the resort i was trying to book in tahiti , somebody cancelled ! we 're in ! michael : well , that 's great ! how did you manage to get two weeks off on such short notice ? the red tape of the gcpd and ... [ gasps ] oh , you have n't even put in for it . kevin : i am dealing with a lot today . michael : go talk to paul now because even if esther can make the chancellor pool like look french polynesia , it is still wisconsin in april . kevin : i 'm going . just do me a favor first . well , one more favor . michael : [ sighs ] kevin : i want to send chloe a picture of the rings so that 's one less thing for her to worry about . michael : how does that involve me ? kevin : as a hand model . hey , sharon , will you come here for a sec ? okay . just put chloe 's ring on your finger like so ... great . michael : you know , as a child , when i imagined my life as a model , this was n't it . kevin : will you stop moving your hand ? perfect . and ... sent ! thank you . michael : mm - hmm . kevin : thanks . [ sighs ] so , what do you think ? of the ring ! sharon : it 's lovely . kevin : it is , is n't it ? i got to go . honeymoon awaits . sharon : i hope it 's perfect . kevin : thanks . it 's gon na be . michael : rings . kevin : thank you . this , this , this . see ya . michael : well , i hope it is . esther : okay , girls . you 've got your orders . chelsea : yes , picking up some take - out , then going straight home to put the finishing touches on the dress . chloe : i 'm gon na call the caterer and finalize the rsvps . esther : okay , and i 'm gon na put a deposit with the photographer and then i 'm gon na crack the whip over that florist . chloe : [ laughs ] you guys are so amazing . chelsea : nick does n't even know any of this is happening . i have to call him on the way home . chloe : oh , please do , and tell him i 've never been happier ! chelsea : uh - huh . chloe : oh , mom , uh , where is the caterer 's number ? esther : oh , gosh . oh , it 's on that purple card over there on chelsea 's sketches . chloe : yep . i got it . chelsea : bye ! chloe : bye ! [ chuckles ] [ cell phone vibrates ] victoria : oh , juliet ! welcome . we know how much you wanted to be division manager , but i think we 've come up with a solution that will please everyone . is n't that right , cane ? cane : yeah . yeah , that 's right . victoria : uh , would you give us a few minutes ? cane : sure . it 's good to see you again . victoria : so , please , have a seat . have a seat . i 'm gon na try to make this brief so that you can get off this roller coaster . after you left today , i told cane that i agreed that you 'd be a great asset to brash & sassy ! juliet : thank you . victoria : so we 've been trying to think of a fit for your considerable skills . we need a great marketing person that can focus on our u.s . teen demos and our men 's line . juliet : i 'm sorry . just to be clear , this is n't a job in japan ? victoria : no , it would be right here in genoa city working with our core team . you 'd have to relocate . jordan : i 'm so flattered . victoria : are you flattered enough to take the job ? would moving back to the states be a problem for you ? juliet : if you do n't mind , i 'd like to learn before labeling anything a problem . victoria : that 's a really great answer . look , i know it 's not the role that you were hoping for , but i think it would be an excellent opportunity . juliet : well , that 's intriguing . victoria : your title would be marketing executive and there would be unlimited room for advancement , especially if you perform in this position as dynamically as you did for cane in tokyo . juliet : well , there is plenty of dynamic performance where that came from . years worth . victoria : you see , this is why you are ideal to market this line . juliet : [ chuckles ] victoria : so , i 'm sure you have lots of questions . juliet : just 300 or 400 . victoria : okay . jump right in . juliet : would i be working with cane ? victoria : well , i 'm guessing that it would n't be a deal - breaker , seeing how hand - in - glove you worked with cane in tokyo , plucking sato - san off the tree . juliet : no . not a deal - breaker at all . sharon : nick ! call me back ! [ sighs ] oh ! chloe : i -- i did n't mean to scare you . sharon : oh , my goodness . thank you ! what brings you by ? chloe : are we gon na lie to each other now ? chloe : my wedding ! hello ? you hand - modeled my ring ! i have photographic proof . sharon : oh . yes ! yes ! i 'm sorry , you know , i 've just -- i have been on my feet for seven hours , so i 'm fried . chloe : [ chuckles ] sharon : i 'm happy for you , though , and for kevin , too . both of you . i mean , it 's a little sudden , but , you know , obviously you know what you want , right ? chloe : well , what we both do n't want is to wait . i 'm sure that kevin told you that . sharon : yes , he said something like that . you know , it 's funny . when you and bella came back into town , could you ever have imagined that you 'd be marrying kevin so soon ? chloe : again ? no . but , i mean , a lot has changed since then . sharon : yes . that 's true . a lot has . chloe : so , i -- i did n't come here to yank your chain . are you coming to the wedding ? chelsea : nick ! nick : oh . hey . chelsea : hi ! i was just about to call you . what are you doing here ? nick : i had some errands to run . thought i 'd come in for a late lunch . chelsea : mm . nick : you hungry ? chelsea : i 'm actually getting some take - out because i need to put the finishing touches on chloe 's wedding dress in a matter of hours . nick : really ? why ? chelsea : because she and kevin are getting married tomorrow and then jetting off to tahiti for two weeks . nick : why the sudden change of plans ? chelsea : i do n't know , i guess she could n't wait an extra second , and kevin could n't , either . nick : wow . chloe must be bouncing off the walls . chelsea : yeah . she 's really excited . and it 's nice to see . we also were able to have another really great talk . it was really raw and deep and emotional ... nick : another one ? chelsea : well , yeah . i mean , i talked to her about the phone records that put her near the cabin the night of the explosion . nick : you confronted her about that ? chelsea : yeah , i mean , i -- i could n't make it seem like i was n't aware of what the phone company told you . but , listen to me , i asked her point - blank and i looked chloe directly in the eyes . nick : obviously she had a good explanation . chelsea : she said it was a mistake , nick . she said she never left my building that night . kevin , he would have said so , you know ? he would have known that , and i believe her . we 've had a lot of great alone time , and she 's told me how important our friendship is , and i really believe her . i mean , it really moved me to tears . she 's telling the truth . that girl would do anything for me . so -- [ sighs ] it just feels good to have that stress relief off of my shoulders . i 'm just bummed it took confronting her about it to truly understand that chloe is my best friend . what are you doing ? do you still seriously have doubts about her ? i thought you -- nick : no . no . look , you told her exactly how you feel . chelsea : yeah . nick : you had your talk with her , and i think it 's time i do the same . chelsea : you want to tell chloe how you feel ? uh , can i get like a preview of how that conversation is gon na go , or ... ? nick : look , i could say something , but i think a gesture would mean more , especially considering the occasion . chelsea : a gesture ? nick : yeah . so she 's getting married tomorrow , which means the bachelorette party has to be tonight , right ? and i would like to do that for her . chelsea : you want to throw chloe a party ? nick : well , i mean , the throwing -- that 's a little girly . you guys could kind of plan a casual outing , and i will provide the venue . chelsea : really ? we could use the underground ? nick : yeah , we 'll get you a prime spot , you know , totally vip . , bottle service ... chelsea : that 's actually really sweet . that 's a really nice gesture , but i have to work on chloe 's dress tonight . nick : sounds important . maybe you should n't go . chelsea : are you trying to talk me out of going now ? nick : no . it 's just -- the last thing i would want for you is to have any regrets , you know ? you 'd see chloe walking down the aisle , maybe the dress is n't exactly perfect ... chelsea : i do n't have any regrets , and i 'm not going to . i am going to this bachelorette party , thrown by the host of the year , and if i have to wake up early tomorrow to finish the dress , so be it . nick : you sure ? chelsea : yeah , i 'm positive . i 'm a really fast worker . nick : i have no doubt . chelsea : this really means a lot to me that you 're doing this for chloe . thank you . nick : well , you tell chloe that she 's welcome , and , uh ... i hope this night is as unforgettable as her wedding . sharon : if you knew how packed my days and nights are -- between running this place and taking classes at gcu -- much harder than i thought it would be , and fyi , you ca n't flirt to get extra credit anymore . apparently , it 's a law suit or something , so ... you know , so i do n't think i 'm gon na be able to get away . chloe : yeah , it 's -- it 's okay . i get it . i mean , it 's the downside of spontaneity . we 'll miss you . sharon : well , i 'm sorry i ca n't make it , but i do wish you all the best . chloe : i mean , really ? you just -- you do n't really seem into it . i do n't know , maybe you were more invested in kevin and mariah 's relationship . sharon : no . no , but there is something else . there is something that has been eating away at me . um , it was something you said the other day . do you remember when we talked ? chloe : yeah . i remember telling you that i was totally psyched and happy about kevin and me . sharon : yeah , but you said something else , too . you said that you were worried about `` blowing it `` with kevin . your words . what made you say that ? paul : the conclusion is death by misadventure , specifically a propane leak resulting in accidental ignition and total destruction of the property at 29 lake ephraim road . [ knocks on door ] kevin : hey , boss . paul : hi , kevin . are n't you off today ? kevin : uh , i am , but i need to ask you a really big favor . paul : oh , well , do n't hold back . kevin : well , as you know , i 'm getting married . as you do n't know , it 's happening tomorrow . paul : oh ! well , congratulations . kevin : thanks . paul : so i guess you need another day off . kevin : 14 of them , actually . in a row . and i know i 'm supposed to put in requests a week in advance ... paul : uh , 10 days , officially . kevin : oh . right . well , chloe and i had a sudden change of plans , and i really hate to ask , but if you could override deenie in hr and approve my vacation request , i would consider that the greatest wedding gift in the history of the world . paul : well , normally , the way to get gifts is to invite people to the wedding . kevin : check your e - mail ! chancellor house tomorrow , free food , no cover charge . paul : how could i come to that ? i would have had to put in a request 10 days ago ! i take these regulations very seriously . unlike some people i know . [ laughs ] kevin : [ sighs ] that was cruel . which i guess i deserve for springing this on you . paul : relax , kevin . you know something ? i would not do this for anyone , but you have earned it . kevin : thank you , paul . paul : and i 'm not gon na be the guy to stand between chloe and her honeymoon . kevin : [ laughs ] after the ceremony , we 're grabbing our passports , luggage , minimal clothing , and heading to tahiti . a getaway to paradise where no one can reach us , just like chloe wanted . paul : so , tomorrow night , you 're getting married , and then you 're leaving the country . kevin : [ laughing ] yes . paul : my question is -- are you ever coming back ? kevin : [ scoffs ] cane : where 's victoria ? juliet : she ran off to a quick meeting . hey , i do n't know what you said to her , but it must have been magic . i mean , first , i do n't have a job , and then you talked to her , and the next thing you know , i 'm hired , so i ca n't thank you enough . cane : so you , uh -- you took the job , huh ? juliet : uh , not yet . victoria wants me to think about it and call her back later . cane : look , you know , um ... i know that you love working in tokyo , and i just do n't know if you 'll be happy if you , you know , relocate here for a marketing job , that 's all . juliet : i was wrong . creating that other position for me ? that was -- that was all victoria . you do n't want me working here in the office , do you ? cane : nah , no , that 's not true . i just -- you know , whatever you end up doing , i just want you to be happy , you know ? i just think if you take this job here , you might get some buyer 's remorse , that 's it . juliet : oh , is that what you have ? even though you ca n't fully remember the shopping spree ? cane : [ chuckles ] you realize if you do take this job , you 'll end up with less autonomy , a lower title , and less money , right ? juliet : and those can all improve . this is a way in , and victoria said that there 's plenty of potential for growth . cane : okay . juliet : and who knows ? maybe in two years , i could be your boss . cane : do you want to have some full disclosure here ? juliet : yeah . cane : it may be a little uncomfortable if you and i have to see each other every day , do n't you think ? juliet : not for me . these things happen . we 're adults . ca n't we just agree that it was meaningless and move on , drama free ? i 'm fine with it , and it literally made no impression on you , so ... whatever . cane : so ... are you gon na take this job or not ? juliet : well , certainly not to cause any trouble for you . or for lily . she 's really nice . and i am , too . lily : hi . can i interrupt you for a second ? uh , victoria and i grabbed coffee , and i have some interesting news . cane : okay . let 's hear it . lily : well , if juliet accepts that job , victoria wants her to work with me . cane : why ? i mean [ chuckles ] doing what ? lily : well , marketing , obviously , for the men 's line or whatever else victoria needs . so it looks like i 'll be even more involved here . which i 'm sure victoria and juliet will have plenty of ideas on how to make that happen . cane : i 'm glad you 're excited . lily : i 'm thrilled ! i mean , to have my own point - person here ? and i know i only met juliet once , but i really liked her . i think her and i will be great friends . cane : you know , let 's hold off on getting the matching tattoos . you know , she may not take the job , you know ? 'cause she may be aiming , you know , a little higher , i do n't know , so ... lily : oh , well -- victoria : hey ! that was juliet . lily : hi ! did she say yes ? victoria : yeah . several times . she 's as stoked as we are . lily : that 's great ! so when does she start ? victoria : right away . you know what , cane , you were right . she 's gon na be a huge asset . kevin : maybe the old me would have considered becoming an expat in tahiti , or trying it on for a month or two , but i take my job here very seriously , and if you do n't think ... paul : [ laughing ] kevin . relax . i 'm just giving you a bad time . kevin : oh . good . thank you , for everything -- the job , the time off , helping me turn my life around . try and come to the wedding , please . paul : well , i 'll be in court most of the day , but i promise you , i will be there in spirit . and i wish you and chloe a great day and a great trip . kevin : aside from you not being there , i think it 's gon na be perfect . paul : [ chuckles ] congratulations . kevin : thank you . chloe : yeah , i -- i think i can explain what i meant when -- when i mentioned that i was afraid of blowing it with kevin . i -- i 'm glad that you 're the one asking because i do n't think that anyone else would get it . sharon : why 's that ? chloe : well , you and me , we 've had similar struggles , and we 've both been to darker places . we 've fought really hard to get our life back . i do n't know , do n't you worry , even with all of the gratitude and counted blessings that it 's gon na happen again ? sharon : the thought creeps in now and then . chloe : yeah , so i just always have that nagging thing in my mind . i have that little whisper , always wondering if i 'm gon na mess things up , or ... i do n't know , sabotage the first good thing that comes around . it 's this self - doubt that i think is just part of me now . so when i said that i was afraid of blowing it , i was n't talking about that specifically . i just really hope that i do n't . sharon : i hope that for you , too . chloe : you 're a really good listener . thank you . i 've appreciated that so many times . i feel like i 've said everything that i have to , and i 'm really happy with where i 'm at , and i hope that you could be happy for me , too . sharon : i want to be , chloe . i really do . chelsea : here is the list for tonight . i kept it very small and intimate so we do n't drink you out of business . nick : well , uh , before you send that text , you should call someone first . chelsea : what are you talking about ? this is the whole recipients list . nick : mm , maybe a certain bachelorette . chelsea : [ gasps ] oh ! [ laughing ] i forgot -- i forgot chloe , the bride . yeah , she does n't even realize we are throwing this party in her honor . [ cell phone ringing ] chloe : hey . chelsea : do you have a minute for some astounding news ? chloe : astounding ? always . chelsea : nick newman just made you the sweetest offer a bride could possibly ask for . okay . yeah . you 're gon na freak out . so , we want to throw you a bachelorette party tonight ! [ giggles ] i know . so it 's gon na be a great group of us . it 'll be sharon and me and your mom ... nick : hey . it 's me . i need you to meet me at the underground as soon as you can . i need your help . chelsea : no , it 'll be so much fun . nick : things have changed . [ next_on ] gloria : this is going to be something a little less subtle . i need you seduce my son tonight . paul : why , nick suddenly suspects that adam 's death was n't an accident ... chelsea : you are no longer our designated driver , and the second we exit that door , the party begins . | nick shares his suspicions with paul about adam 's death without giving him the name of the murderer . paul tells nick he is going to need solid evidence to reopen adam 's case . nick thinks quickly and starts to put a plan in motion until chelsea tells him chloe and kevin want to get married tomorrow and then leave for their honeymoon to tahiti . nick tells chelsea she can give chloe a bachelorette party at the underground . nick asks someone on the phone to meet him at the underground because he needs help . juliet takes the marketing job that victoria offers her and promises cane not to cause any trouble in his marriage . cane gets worried when victoria asks juliet to work directly with lily promoting the men 's line . | <s>[INST] paul : so , nick , the investigation into adam 's death was closed months ago . a propane leak caused the explosion . nick : and i accepted that conclusion at the time . paul : what 's changed ? nick : well , i have some serious questions about that night at the cabin , and i think dylan did , too . can you get him on the phone ? paul : well , um ... he and i were equally involved in this investigation . nick : all right . will you hear me out then ? paul : of course . i just hope it 's more than a gut feeling . because it 's gon na need something solid to re - open this investigation . nick : i 'd say this qualifies . michael : tomorrow ? your wedding 's tomorrow ? kevin : yep . we decided we love each other much too much to wait . michael : well -- you certainly do n't have any respect for your wedding guests , giving them one day 's notice . kevin : the only ones we care about are coming no matter what , right ? michael : well , you know i 'll be there . kevin : see ? michael : whatever happened to `` make it nice , make it special , do this one right ? `` kevin : it can be all that ! spontaneity is not wrong . michael : [ chuckles ] all right , spill . which one of you brought up fast- tracking this , you or chloe ? chloe : thank you so much . esther : oh , sweetheart , i would not let you down . i will take care of everything . this is so exciting ! chloe : i know ! [ squeals ] esther : [ laughs ] i love it ! chelsea : knock , knock , ladies ! esther : chelsea ! chelsea : what is going on in here ? chloe : i 'm getting married ! chelsea : i know ! chloe : tomorrow ! [ laughs ] chelsea : what ? chloe : i know . i know . but mom promised that she 's going to make it happen . esther : yes . you should have seen the dinner parties that i threw together for mrs. c. i 've so got this . chelsea : i wish i could say the same . um , chloe , you know your dress is n't finished , right ? so why the hurry all of a sudden ? lily : hello again . juliet : lily . hi ! lily : hi , um ... i just spoke to cane , and he told me . juliet : he told you ? lily : yeah , some people would say it 's inappropriate , but we have a really close relationship so he tells me everything . juliet : i want to clarify , i did n't force cane to do anything . lily : well , of course you did n't . juliet : and this does n't upset you ? lily : no . i mean , if you 're good as cane says you are , then i doubt this will slow you down . juliet : lily , you have the wrong impression of me . lily : uh , i do n't think so . victoria : what 's going on ? you did like a complete 180 when i brought up a new role for juliet in genoa city . cane : no , it 's just -- i know how much she wanted to stay in tokyo as the division head , that 's all . victoria : yeah , but i think that this job would be a hefty consolation prize , do n't you ? cane : yeah . absolutely i do . um , i just do n't want to like , you know , deliver any bad news to her , but you know what ? hey , she may not see it that way , and if that 's the case , it 's , uh -- it 's fantastic , is n't it ? victoria : is it ? i mean , is that how you really feel ? cane : she has my endorsement in any way , you know ? i think , um ... we 'd be lucky to have her in any position -- [ clears throat ] any capacity you think is best . victoria : good . that 's what i want to hear . for a minute there , i thought you did n't want juliet here . nick : detectives do n't like coincidences , right ? paul : sure . could you get to your point , nick ? nick : how about the cabin ? you know , it exploded moments after chelsea and i got there . one minute later , and she and connor would have been inside . instead , they were spared . paul : i do n't trust coincidences , but i do believe in lucky breaks . nick : well , to me , that seems incredibly convenient . paul : but for whom , then ? i mean , saying that she and the kid were spared implies that someone set off the explosion . so do you have any proof ? nick : how about the propane leak ? paul : underneath the floorboards ? maybe from the seal connecting the line from the tank to the appliances in the cabin . nick : so , what 's the difference between a defective seal and one that someone maybe sabotaged with , like , a wrench ? paul : forensically speaking , probably nothing . but the csi team may be able to uncover any alterations , but then you know what they 'd want ? nick : proof . paul : which is what we need to get to pull this out of the realm of conjecture . proof or motive . nick : so , if there was a convincing motive , would that be enough to reopen this case ? paul : if it were solid . nick , you got a life -- a full life -- and you 're not a conspiracy theorist . so something had to spark this . nick : you 're right . and it 's not something i just pulled out of thin air . paul : there 's something you 're not telling me , and i think it 's a name , and it might be the first step to reopening this case . so tell me , nick . who do you think did this ? chloe : so , i had this dream last night , and i was getting married and i swear it was so vivid , i could smell the flowers . and i woke up this morning and i thought , `` i do n't want to wait another minute to start the next chapter of our lives , `` so ... i told kevin , i kissed him , and i told him i did n't want to wait , and he said , `` okay , well , if you think that we can get it done , then let 's do it ! `` esther : uh , wait . well , uh , tell the truth , sweetheart . she wanted to have it tonight . chelsea : what ? ! chloe : yes . guilty . i know , that was ridiculously demanding . but my mother is a certified miracle worker . esther : right on both counts . chelsea : well , as the mere mortal seamstress in charge of making this dress that you 're going to be rocking , i 'd say good call , esther . that was well done . chloe : you know , and the other reason -- the sooner that we get married , the sooner that kevin can start the adoption process with bella , and just to think that she can start calling him `` daddy `` ... chelsea : chloe , that 's really wonderful . chloe : but i am not getting married unless i can wear the beautiful gown that you designed for me , so ... it 's kind of up to you . chelsea : it 's , yeah , no pressure or anything . chloe : i know ! surprise ! and it 's the kind of surprise that seems stressful and ... and really not fun until , maybe , you 've had a wonderful cup of coffee . and now maybe it seems like a good surprise , you know ? like the kind that makes life worth living . chelsea : mm - hmm , kind of like the taste of this unbelievably delicious coffee . [ sighing ] oh , you ... you know i 'm in ! [ laughter ] your wedding is going to be unbelievable , and you are going to spend every minute of it in the most stunning wedding dress , looking gorgeous , even if i have to stay up all night making it ! chloe : yay ! esther : oh ! chloe : [ squeals ] esther : [ sighs ] kevin : chloe is not dragging me into this . remember how eager i was to propose ? michael : remember when i advised you to take your time ? that , you forgot . kevin : no , i did n't . i appreciate that . i was just too excited to get started on this new life . michael : yeah , the revised wedding date is a big tip - off . and you never told me whose idea it was ... kevin : chloe , for the record , but i signed on right away because less wedding planning , the better . this way , we get right to the honeymoon -- tahiti , 14 days , one over - water bungalow , 5 million fish . michael : okay , no more questions . save the grilling for the fish . i am behind you 100 % , you know that . kevin : mm - hmm . and you believed in me way before i did . back when i would n't have felt worthy of any of this . michael : i can see that 's changed . and if chloe helped with that , big points for her . kevin : she 's a huge part of it . she believes me , she believes in us . she knows all my flaws and loves me anyway . michael : devil 's advocate . attorney , big brother ... lots of people would say that chloe 's flaws far outnumber your own . kevin : well , they can say it to my face when i 'm chloe 's husband . sharon : uh , i 'm sorry . did -- did kevin just say he 's marrying chloe ? kevin : yep ! tomorrow . is n't it great ? michael : yay . [ chuckles ] kevin : sharon . is there a problem ? sharon : uh , no . no . no , no , no . i 'm just -- i 'm very happy for you . sharon : here ! let me give you a hug . michael : hug it out ! yeah . victoria : i was hoping for better numbers from marketing . they 've been over budget every quarter . cane : so you ca n't afford to create a job in that department , huh ? victoria : bottom line is , hiring juliet will blow the budget , unfortunately . cane : sorry to hear that . victoria : so am i. i really like her . juliet has a very appealing vibe , and i know she 'd be an asset . that report that you gave about the way she performed in tokyo just confirmed it , but unfortunately , we ca n't handle this financial hit . [ sighs ] wait a minute . aha ! cane : what is it ? victoria : [ chuckles ] that 's what it is . finance and accounting has been running a budget surplus for the last three fiscals . so if i move a little money around ... ... then i can make juliet affordable . just like that . voilà ! now , you just have to make sure that she takes the job . lily : okay , i 'll see you next time . wait , wait ! do n't leave . juliet : i am wasting your time . lily : no , no , no . wait , stop . let me finish . i was gon na say that my impression of you is that you 're a bright , driven , resourceful woman who deserved that job today . juliet : the job ? lily : yeah , the one that cane said you lost out on . juliet : [ laughs ] that 's what he told you . lily : yeah ! what did you think he told me ? juliet : i 'm sorry , uh , lily . jet lag is just setting in . i 'm a bit of a wreck . lily : no , it 's fine . and , look , if you need any help , just give me your info and i can keep you in the loop on brash & sassy ! juliet : that 's very sweet of you , but i ca n't impose . lily : no , you 're not . trust me . juliet : well , as much as i love the company , i needed something permanent , like , yesterday . lily : well , it seems to me like you 're a very desirable applicant . juliet : who ca n't get an executive - level position without management experience . but nobody wants to hire a freelancer to manage anything . [ cell phone rings ] lily : uh , go ahead . take it . please . juliet : hello ? victoria : juliet . hi , it 's victoria newman . could you come back to the office ? juliet : it 's okay , victoria . cane explained . you 're not hiring me . victoria : no , not for that position , but how would you feel if i found something else for you ? chloe : `` you are cordially invited to kevin and chloe 's pop - up wedding ! `` chelsea : i love it . chloe : it 's perfect ! esther : okay , chloe , you know ... chloe : oh , right ! yes . okay . sorry . um , flowers on the stairs . stairs and flowers ? yes . i love it all . i love it . esther : okay , good . i just hope i do n't forget everything i just thought of . chelsea : oh , no ! do n't sweat it . i took notes . esther : oh , chelsea , you 're a genius and an artist . chloe : an artistic genius . chelsea : oh , stop . esther : [ laughs ] oh , gosh , this place is just gon na burst into life tomorrow . fun and festive have been in short supply since we lost mrs. c . chloe : oh , look ! someone 's rsvp'ing . [ cell phone ringing ] esther : oh , gosh . the photographer . i 'll be right back . chelsea : okay , so , uh ... i have to confess something . chloe : what ? chelsea : the reason i 'm not fully finished with your dress yet is because i actually took a little detour and i made one for bella . chloe : what ? no . chelsea : yeah ! yeah . it 's the cutest thing ever . it 's so tiny , it 's so pretty , and i 'm just , like , picturing her with that little box , you know , with , like , rose petals ? chloe : mm - hmm . chelsea : great , now i 'm getting emotional . [ laughs ] oh , my goodness gracious . chloe : [ laughs ] chelsea : thank you . you , too ? chloe : yeah , i just ca n't help it . chelsea : oh , gosh . [ sighs ] chloe : let 's be honest . none of this would be happening if it were n't for you . you know , you 're -- you 're my guardian angel . you are . you -- you opened up your home and your business and your heart to bella and me , and your capacity for forgiveness -- i am just in awe of it . chelsea : everybody deserves a second chance . chloe : oh , but it 's so beyond that . i mean , the two of us and the time that we 've spent these past few months , it has taught me more than ever about what it really means to be a friend , and ... you just need to know that i would anything for you . chelsea : okay , you really better knock it off , or we 're gon na need a much bigger box of tissues . chloe : well , that 's too bad , okay , because i 'm always gon na have your back , no matter what , no questions asked . i mean , the hell that i 've been through ... the fact that i could actually feel that about someone ... it 's more healing than you know . honestly . it 's changed my life . so thank you for being my best friend . i love you . chelsea : i love you , too . michael : so , gloria knows nothing about your bumped - up nuptials . kevin : well , you know , i have a list i was working down , and you 're at the top . michael : does this list even include that font of nurturing warmth we call our mother ? kevin : it could if you would add it to your best man duties , which , come on , really just include taking care of the rings , right ? michael : oh , really . you seem to be forgetting my other rather important duty -- planning the bachelor party . kevin : that is a biggie . michael : mm . kevin : okay . leave gloria to me . michael : so , about these rings you mentioned ... have you picked them out ? 'cause you better get on it . kevin : well , i 've narrowed it down to two , which i have on my phone . chloe told me to decide , and i was hoping you could come with me to fenmore 's ... michael : where your best man just happens to have a platinum - level corporate discount ? kevin : exactly . you are the best best man . i 'm also gon na need you to help me pick out something nice to wear to the wedding . michael : it 's called a suit . kevin : yeah , one of those . and i need swim trunks for tahiti . michael : sure . sharon : hi , nick . this is sharon . call me as soon as you get this . paul : so , um ... you never answered me , nick . do you have a name ? nick : if i do n't have a name right now , i hope that means you wo n't dismiss what i 'm telling you . there are some things about the way my brother died that night that do n't sit right with me . paul : well , i 'm sure you get that if we reopen this investigation , there will be certain repercussions for victor . nick : my father would want to know if adam 's death was n't an accident . paul : so , i can infer from that that you do n't suspect him ? nick : zero chance he was involved in that . paul : but someone else was , or so you believe . i also have a theory why you do n't want to name them . you 're worried about spooking this person if they find out they 're a suspect . and you 're also hoping that the gcpd can look into this very quietly without scaring suspect x into hiding . nick : it 's been months , and i 'm worried that your chances at proving something are slipping away . look , please , can you just look into it ? do n't turn your back on adam . i know i ca n't . paul : you know , nick , i have n't forgotten about adam , either , but i need something more -- physical evidence , something that 'll hold up in court . nick : yeah , i understand . paul : short of that , maybe a confession of some kind . a statement that connects the person or persons to the crime . nick : a confession , like , on tape ? paul : mm . anything i can work with would help . nick : hmm . all right . thanks . paul : yeah . listen , i appreciate your gratitude , but you might want to hold off on that a second . you know what we 're up against . sharon : come on , nick ! kevin : thanks . [ sighs ] thank you so much for everything , especially the rings ! chloe is going to freak when i put this on her finger . let me buy you a coffee . any size you want . michael : oh , that sounds like a fair trade . kevin : i will pay you back , i swear . michael : forget it . how many times does my little brother get married ? let me see . 3 , 4 ... you know what ? never mind . as they say in the courtroom , `` withdrawn . `` kevin : ah ! amazing . the resort i was trying to book in tahiti , somebody cancelled ! we 're in ! michael : well , that 's great ! how did you manage to get two weeks off on such short notice ? the red tape of the gcpd and ... [ gasps ] oh , you have n't even put in for it . kevin : i am dealing with a lot today . michael : go talk to paul now because even if esther can make the chancellor pool like look french polynesia , it is still wisconsin in april . kevin : i 'm going . just do me a favor first . well , one more favor . michael : [ sighs ] kevin : i want to send chloe a picture of the rings so that 's one less thing for her to worry about . michael : how does that involve me ? kevin : as a hand model . hey , sharon , will you come here for a sec ? okay . just put chloe 's ring on your finger like so ... great . michael : you know , as a child , when i imagined my life as a model , this was n't it . kevin : will you stop moving your hand ? perfect . and ... sent ! thank you . michael : mm - hmm . kevin : thanks . [ sighs ] so , what do you think ? of the ring ! sharon : it 's lovely . kevin : it is , is n't it ? i got to go . honeymoon awaits . sharon : i hope it 's perfect . kevin : thanks . it 's gon na be . michael : rings . kevin : thank you . this , this , this . see ya . michael : well , i hope it is . esther : okay , girls . you 've got your orders . chelsea : yes , picking up some take - out , then going straight home to put the finishing touches on the dress . chloe : i 'm gon na call the caterer and finalize the rsvps . esther : okay , and i 'm gon na put a deposit with the photographer and then i 'm gon na crack the whip over that florist . chloe : [ laughs ] you guys are so amazing . chelsea : nick does n't even know any of this is happening . i have to call him on the way home . chloe : oh , please do , and tell him i 've never been happier ! chelsea : uh - huh . chloe : oh , mom , uh , where is the caterer 's number ? esther : oh , gosh . oh , it 's on that purple card over there on chelsea 's sketches . chloe : yep . i got it . chelsea : bye ! chloe : bye ! [ chuckles ] [ cell phone vibrates ] victoria : oh , juliet ! welcome . we know how much you wanted to be division manager , but i think we 've come up with a solution that will please everyone . is n't that right , cane ? cane : yeah . yeah , that 's right . victoria : uh , would you give us a few minutes ? cane : sure . it 's good to see you again . victoria : so , please , have a seat . have a seat . i 'm gon na try to make this brief so that you can get off this roller coaster . after you left today , i told cane that i agreed that you 'd be a great asset to brash & sassy ! juliet : thank you . victoria : so we 've been trying to think of a fit for your considerable skills . we need a great marketing person that can focus on our u.s . teen demos and our men 's line . juliet : i 'm sorry . just to be clear , this is n't a job in japan ? victoria : no , it would be right here in genoa city working with our core team . you 'd have to relocate . jordan : i 'm so flattered . victoria : are you flattered enough to take the job ? would moving back to the states be a problem for you ? juliet : if you do n't mind , i 'd like to learn before labeling anything a problem . victoria : that 's a really great answer . look , i know it 's not the role that you were hoping for , but i think it would be an excellent opportunity . juliet : well , that 's intriguing . victoria : your title would be marketing executive and there would be unlimited room for advancement , especially if you perform in this position as dynamically as you did for cane in tokyo . juliet : well , there is plenty of dynamic performance where that came from . years worth . victoria : you see , this is why you are ideal to market this line . juliet : [ chuckles ] victoria : so , i 'm sure you have lots of questions . juliet : just 300 or 400 . victoria : okay . jump right in . juliet : would i be working with cane ? victoria : well , i 'm guessing that it would n't be a deal - breaker , seeing how hand - in - glove you worked with cane in tokyo , plucking sato - san off the tree . juliet : no . not a deal - breaker at all . sharon : nick ! call me back ! [ sighs ] oh ! chloe : i -- i did n't mean to scare you . sharon : oh , my goodness . thank you ! what brings you by ? chloe : are we gon na lie to each other now ? chloe : my wedding ! hello ? you hand - modeled my ring ! i have photographic proof . sharon : oh . yes ! yes ! i 'm sorry , you know , i 've just -- i have been on my feet for seven hours , so i 'm fried . chloe : [ chuckles ] sharon : i 'm happy for you , though , and for kevin , too . both of you . i mean , it 's a little sudden , but , you know , obviously you know what you want , right ? chloe : well , what we both do n't want is to wait . i 'm sure that kevin told you that . sharon : yes , he said something like that . you know , it 's funny . when you and bella came back into town , could you ever have imagined that you 'd be marrying kevin so soon ? chloe : again ? no . but , i mean , a lot has changed since then . sharon : yes . that 's true . a lot has . chloe : so , i -- i did n't come here to yank your chain . are you coming to the wedding ? chelsea : nick ! nick : oh . hey . chelsea : hi ! i was just about to call you . what are you doing here ? nick : i had some errands to run . thought i 'd come in for a late lunch . chelsea : mm . nick : you hungry ? chelsea : i 'm actually getting some take - out because i need to put the finishing touches on chloe 's wedding dress in a matter of hours . nick : really ? why ? chelsea : because she and kevin are getting married tomorrow and then jetting off to tahiti for two weeks . nick : why the sudden change of plans ? chelsea : i do n't know , i guess she could n't wait an extra second , and kevin could n't , either . nick : wow . chloe must be bouncing off the walls . chelsea : yeah . she 's really excited . and it 's nice to see . we also were able to have another really great talk . it was really raw and deep and emotional ... nick : another one ? chelsea : well , yeah . i mean , i talked to her about the phone records that put her near the cabin the night of the explosion . nick : you confronted her about that ? chelsea : yeah , i mean , i -- i could n't make it seem like i was n't aware of what the phone company told you . but , listen to me , i asked her point - blank and i looked chloe directly in the eyes . nick : obviously she had a good explanation . chelsea : she said it was a mistake , nick . she said she never left my building that night . kevin , he would have said so , you know ? he would have known that , and i believe her . we 've had a lot of great alone time , and she 's told me how important our friendship is , and i really believe her . i mean , it really moved me to tears . she 's telling the truth . that girl would do anything for me . so -- [ sighs ] it just feels good to have that stress relief off of my shoulders . i 'm just bummed it took confronting her about it to truly understand that chloe is my best friend . what are you doing ? do you still seriously have doubts about her ? i thought you -- nick : no . no . look , you told her exactly how you feel . chelsea : yeah . nick : you had your talk with her , and i think it 's time i do the same . chelsea : you want to tell chloe how you feel ? uh , can i get like a preview of how that conversation is gon na go , or ... ? nick : look , i could say something , but i think a gesture would mean more , especially considering the occasion . chelsea : a gesture ? nick : yeah . so she 's getting married tomorrow , which means the bachelorette party has to be tonight , right ? and i would like to do that for her . chelsea : you want to throw chloe a party ? nick : well , i mean , the throwing -- that 's a little girly . you guys could kind of plan a casual outing , and i will provide the venue . chelsea : really ? we could use the underground ? nick : yeah , we 'll get you a prime spot , you know , totally vip . , bottle service ... chelsea : that 's actually really sweet . that 's a really nice gesture , but i have to work on chloe 's dress tonight . nick : sounds important . maybe you should n't go . chelsea : are you trying to talk me out of going now ? nick : no . it 's just -- the last thing i would want for you is to have any regrets , you know ? you 'd see chloe walking down the aisle , maybe the dress is n't exactly perfect ... chelsea : i do n't have any regrets , and i 'm not going to . i am going to this bachelorette party , thrown by the host of the year , and if i have to wake up early tomorrow to finish the dress , so be it . nick : you sure ? chelsea : yeah , i 'm positive . i 'm a really fast worker . nick : i have no doubt . chelsea : this really means a lot to me that you 're doing this for chloe . thank you . nick : well , you tell chloe that she 's welcome , and , uh ... i hope this night is as unforgettable as her wedding . sharon : if you knew how packed my days and nights are -- between running this place and taking classes at gcu -- much harder than i thought it would be , and fyi , you ca n't flirt to get extra credit anymore . apparently , it 's a law suit or something , so ... you know , so i do n't think i 'm gon na be able to get away . chloe : yeah , it 's -- it 's okay . i get it . i mean , it 's the downside of spontaneity . we 'll miss you . sharon : well , i 'm sorry i ca n't make it , but i do wish you all the best . chloe : i mean , really ? you just -- you do n't really seem into it . i do n't know , maybe you were more invested in kevin and mariah 's relationship . sharon : no . no , but there is something else . there is something that has been eating away at me . um , it was something you said the other day . do you remember when we talked ? chloe : yeah . i remember telling you that i was totally psyched and happy about kevin and me . sharon : yeah , but you said something else , too . you said that you were worried about `` blowing it `` with kevin . your words . what made you say that ? paul : the conclusion is death by misadventure , specifically a propane leak resulting in accidental ignition and total destruction of the property at 29 lake ephraim road .

rafe : yes . roman : there 's also a video of the incident . nicole : well , then , why the hell am i here ? you saw the recording , did n't you ? okay , we fought , and it was bad , but then i took off . tell me you saw that in the video . rafe : no , we did n't . roman : unfortunately , there was no footage showing you leaving the confrontation . the witness dropped the phone . nicole : you got to be kidding me . roman : and also claims to have see which means you can help us fill in the blanks here . can you tell us what that witness could have seen ? rafe : right now would probably be a good time to call an attorney . [ cell phone ringing ] belle : hello ? nicole : hi , belle . it 's nicole walker . listen , brady said i could call you with any legal troubles we have with dj wear . belle : right , yeah . he mentioned that . i thought he bought you out . nicole : he did . i was wondering if you could help me with a very serious issue . i 'm down at the station , and i 'm being questioned about the man i currently work for , deimos kiriakis . according to some video someone took , i 'm the last person to have seen him alive . belle : oh . then ... nicole : yeah . can you come down here ? belle : on my way . nicole : thanks . i 'll see you soon . well , i just spoke to belle . she 's on her way down here . that is , if she does n't remember how much she hates me and leaves me here to rot . rafe : all right . off the record . what is going on between you and deimos , huh ? nicole : rafe , it 's complicated . rafe : well , yeah , i 'll bet it is . why would a witness follow you and deimos down to the river ? nicole : why would anyone follow anyone ? because they want to spy on them . wait . oh , my -- oh , my god . the witness . please tell me it 's not kate . damn it . of course it is . you know what , this makes perfect sense now . rafe : what does ? nicole : you 've known all along , and you did n't see it ? that bitch is setting me up . understanding of our ways , our process . you stand here before me , criticizing what you know nothing about . kayla : let me just say , first off , this little mysterious process that you have , i have no desire to understand it . i am sure that you bullied my son into driving all your juvenile delinquents around . simone : a lone arrest , only your son . question him , not me , not my children . this is a place of peace . your child had a lapse in judgment . he veered from the family code , rules that we abide by . when he returns to us , he -- john : oh , god , woman . you are so full of it . you think anybody 's really buying this peace and love charade ? simone : [ scoffs ] i 'm not selling . john : of course you are . you just sold one of your new members down the river . he 's gon na take the rap . you 're gon na get off squeaky clean , right ? simone : like i 've said , this is a place of peace and tranquility . take your baseless accusations elsewhere . kayla : baseless ? i think that that desert sun has fried your brain , lady . you know what , i am glad . i 'm glad that my son was arrested . give him one more second here under your idiotic spell , and god knows what he would have done , and he might have ended up in prison for years . you know what , that is not my son 's future . but it will be yours . shawn : huh . detective brady , what is it ? [ dramatic music ] rafe : so you , kate , and deimos ? nicole : yes , my ex - business partner , now boss , is jealous because deimos showed interest in me . rafe : hope mentioned a while back she saw you with deimos . care to explain that ? nicole : it 's a long story . belle : and it 'll have to wait . nicole : thank you for coming . belle : if you do n't mind , detective , i 'd like to speak to my client alone . rafe : fair enough . let me know if you need anything . belle : well , start at the beginning . rafe : helena tasso . nicole : because i look so much like her , deimos became infatuated with me , so i used that to my advantage , but not for my own purpose . i did it for maggie , like i said , and daniel , because he loved her so much . i mean , daniel would have hated what deimos did to her . rafe : so your connection to deimos was because of your resemblance to the late helena tasso ? now , do you think that made kate jealous ? nicole : yes . she hated it . you saw the video . deimos asked me to make love to him on the riverbank . i 'd be his princess . roman : but you refused ? nicole : i walked away . belle : and then , as the witness supposedly , and very conveniently i might add , dropped the phone and , therefore , stopped recording , she saw you push deimos kiriakis into the river . well , listen . i think , since you have no reasonable proof that my client committed murder , we 're done here . and i 'd like to speak to my client alone . rafe : take your time . roman : but , nicole , i 'd suggest not leaving town . joey : is mom coming ? steve : should n't be long now . joey : i 'm gon na go grab some snacks for the road . steve : well , make it quick . as soon as john and your mom get here , we 're splitting . joey : gotcha . fynn : i 'll make sure there 's some gas in the tank . steve : hey , before you do that , how about you and i clear the air ? fynn : right . steve : i know i 've been a jerk to you , but you have n't been that cool with me , either . but now i know it was because you were looking out for kayla . and i appreciate that . i owe you . fynn : yeah , no worries , man . simone : well , it is crystal clear now . i see what drove your son to come here with my niece and join our family . he was desperate the escape the lack of spirituality in his former life , the tedium . oh , the boy is his father , no doubt . kayla : what the hell are you getting at ? simone : i 'm just point out the simple fact that your son is a soulful young man who craves adventure , not to mention connection with like - minded people , just like his father does . kayla : you do n't know my son , and you for sure do n't know -- simone : your ex - husband ? steve `` patch `` johnson . i know he could n't get enough of my kombucha . it 's a tea . and then he told me about his son joey running away from home . and more notably , he told me about his attraction to danger . but you , kayla , seem to want to cage the tiger , because you no longer have the courage to live life on the wild side . you did steve a favor by leaving him . now he 's free to run , explore , embrace the beast within . and he 's welcome here anytime he pleases . john : trust me , you do n't want any part of what 's caged up inside of this woman . kayla : how dare her ? she does n't know a damn thing about me or steve . the nerve , telling me what steve needs or that i did him a favor by leaving him . i mean , that 's just outrageous . what ? why are you looking at me like that ? john : just wondering why you 're so upset . have n't you moved on with fynn ? nicole : i know that kate is n't a highly moral person . no , i 'd like to amend that . she is a completely amoral person . but to pin this on me ? why would she do that ? belle : listen , you have to stop trying to analyze kate . okay , you need to go home , go to bed , and in the morning , deimos will , we hope , show up , dead or alive , and then we 'll have more information . nicole : i 'm not gon na sleep tonight , believe me . belle : okay , well , you are gon na go straight home , and you 're gon na turn off that phone . you will not look for kate . you will not call her , skype her , text her , email her , or contact her by carrier pigeon . got it ? rafe : nicole 's statement matches the video . roman : yeah , we gained nothing concrete on the supposed murder . shawn : well , we may have found something that changes everything . john : oh -- forget i said that . i 'm sorry . it 's just that -- it 's just breaking my heart , kayla . kayla : what is ? john : just knowing that you mean everything to steve . he loves you with every cell in his body . and it 's just breaking my heart . the two of you ca n't seem to work things out . kayla : you know why that is , john . it 's because -- it 's just like that woman , that obnoxious , ridiculous woman just said . she was right on the woman . steve craves adventure and danger , so much so that he will put our family at risk . he needs that thrill more than he needs me . john : no , not true . kayla : yes , it is . i 've accepted it . and you should too . john : oh , damn it , kayla . you do n't get it , do you ? you are part of that adventure . you are the biggest part . not to mention that you are and always will be the most important person in his life . so would you quit being so damn stubborn and just give the man a chance to make things right ? lani : with all the evidence , i mean , it 's clear that there was a struggle . rafe : well , once the blood results are in , we can move forward . roman : by making an arrest . belle : we 're done . roman : nicole , remember what i said about leaving town . nicole : i 'm not running . belle : i 'll contact you later . nicole : okay . shawn : hey , how you feeling ? belle : uh , better . sorry i had to cancel on dinner last night . shawn : oh , it 's fine . i 'm almost done here . are you available tonight ? belle : sorry , i 'm not . kayla : [ sighs ] i am so glad that you are all right . joey : i 'm doing a lot better now that you 're here safe . i 'm glad you let the doctor tag along . kayla : fynn 's a good guy . i would n't be here if he had n't brought me . steve : yeah , thanks again , fynn . joey : mom , you should n't have come to l.a. , not in your condition . kayla : well , you should have thought about that before you ran away . were you just trying to hurt your father and me ? were you trying to punish us ? joey : no . not exactly . i mean ... i do n't know . i just had to . kayla : i do n't understand . joey : it 's hard to explain . i had to find myself . kayla : i hate that expression . joey : i 'm sorry . i do n't know how else to put it . but anyway , i did find a part of myself . and it made me realize the man i want to be . kayla : you want to elaborate on that ?

[ door opens ] simone : oh , excuse me . may i help you ? dirk : who the hell are these people ? kayla : jade ? jade : uh , hey . this is awkward . kayla : well , it 's gon na get a lot more awkward unless you start talking . where is joey ? simone : ah , you must be the mother . kayla : are you in charge here ? can you tell me where my son is ? jade ? jade : it beats me . i have n't seen him since he got arrested . kayla : arrested . what did you persuade him to do this time ? jade : i did n't persuade him to do anything . simone : okay , everyone . let 's release our negative energy and relax . jade , let me handle this , please . i 'm simone . you are ? kayla : kayla . simone : it seems , kayla , that you 've been kept out of the loop . do you not speak to the boy 's father ? he was here when the police took your son . roman : they dredged the riverbank where the witness said deimos fell in . they found no body . lani : okay , well , he may have drifted further down the stream . roman : yeah , well , the dive team 's gon na check it again first thing in the morning . shawn : so , what 's the next step ? roman : i need you two to head down there , canvass the scene . lani : yes , sir . shawn : okay , listen . we all know nicole has caused a lot of trouble over the years , but do you really think she did this guy in ? rafe : no , i do n't . deimos : i would have loved you like you 've never been loved before . passionate , raw , honest emotion . not that simplistic surface crap you had with daniel . nicole : i loved daniel . deimos : oh , please . you would have been bored within six months of marrying him . playing the good wife , having dinner ready on the table for hubby when he came home from work ... the two of you sitting together on the couch , watching the latest dance competition on tv . nicole : that sounds wonderful , actually . deimos : but that is n't you , nicole , and you know it . you settled . you became the woman everyone thought you should be . you 've been living a lie , and you 're still living it . and for what ? what , for maggie ? for victor ? would hurting me help her walk again , help him become a better man ? oh , please . either way , nicole ... you lose . nicole : i failed victor and maggie . but i did n't kill you , deimos . deimos : you and i were never about love . we were always about power , control . nicole : for me , that was true too . and love . deimos : i 'm sorry if you misunderstood that . nicole : i wanted love ... the same way you wanted nicole to love you . but love makes fools of us all . and i 'll keep looking for my king , and you 'll keep looking for helena . and we 're both doomed to fail . deimos : well , then i guess we really do deserve each other , do n't we ? so , what do you say ? maybe we should get on that flight to vegas after all , huh ? i mean , it 's flashy , sexy , superficial . and at its heart , it 's all about money , right ? i 'm sure you 'll be right at home . nicole : you go to hell ! deimos : ugh . [ water splashes ] joey : a subdural hematoma ? how long has she had it ? steve : ever since ava bashed her on the head . joey : but that 's serious , right ? i mean , is she gon na be okay ? steve : yes , of course she is . you know how tough your mom is . fynn : with time , the leftover be in some discomfort for a while . headaches , migraines . she 'll need to be closely monitored . fynn : you 're a doctor . you could n't stop her from coming ? steve : hey , hey , come on . easy now . it 's not his fault . you know , your mom would travel the world three times over to find you . joey : mom 's out here searching for me , suffering because of ava . it 's all my fault . steve : no . stop talking like that . ava used you to get to me . she 's my past and my responsibility . joe . nothing 's gon na happen to your mom . trust me , all right ? i need to make a call . can i borrow your phone , fynn ? kayla : my son was an accomplice in a robbery ? simone : i 'm afraid so . kayla : i do n't believe th on this woman . probably ordered some of her lackeys here to put joey simone : your accusations are laughable . john : is that a fact ? unfortunately for you , one of your members just got busted . you do n't think he 's giving you up to the police right now ? simone : joey 's one of us now . he 's family . john : [ laughs ] he 's family ? family . let me ask you something . how much loyalty do you think that kid 's gon na have to a bunch of thieves he 's known for , what , been a couple days ? let me tell you how this is gon na play out . your `` family `` is going down . in fact , i 'll bet the cops are on their way over here right now to bust all of you . simone : let them come . we do n't fear the police . kayla : so , steve , joey 's okay ? steve : yeah , he 's all right . kayla : thank god . can you put him on the phone ? steve : sure . here you go . joey : hi , mom . kayla : joey . oh , it is such a relief to hear your voice . i 'm so glad you 're okay . joey : hanging in there . kayla : good , that 's good . now , why do n't you tell me what on earth you were thinking ? shawn : you ready ? lani : let 's go . rafe : you know , roman , if i 'd walked in on this conversation a few years back , i would n't have questioned a thing . nicole walker killing deimos kiriakis ? it just does n't add up . she is not that person anymore . roman : rafe , we have a witness putting nicole at the scene . she was arguing with deimos down by the river off the park . there 's a video . rafe : of a fight , not a murder . roman : that 's fact . but said witness claimed she was actually there . says she saw it happen , nicole killing deimos . rafe : oh , that 's convenient , do n't you think ? roman : rafe , the witness is kate roberts . nicole : oh , rafe . please tell your commander there 's been a misunderstanding . i had nothing to do with deimos ' disappearance . kayla : but , joey , i mean , were n't things bad enough ? i mean , why would you run off with a girl that you hardly even know ? joey : mom , i know , i messed up . this is my second arrest in two months . i 'm not even done getting nailed for vandalizing judge mcnair 's car , and then -- kayla : yeah , and now you have been arrested for robbery here . so you may be out on bail right now , but you 're gon na have to come back to los angeles to stand trial . joey : i know . i know i disappointed you and dad and the family . this is me , your loser son . kayla : do n't you dare say that about yourself . it 's self - pitying , and it 's manipulative . you just want me to feel bad for you so that i will forget this whole thing and let you off the hook , but that 's not happening . you are gon na take responsibility for what you did . do you understand me ? you are gon na muster up every little bit of strength and self - respect you have , and you are gon na get your life back on track . do you understand me , joe johnson ? joey : yes , i do . i 'll figure things out . kayla : you 're damn right you 're gon na figure it out . joey : i will . but right now i 'm thinking about you and what i 've put you through . i 'm really sorry . kayla : well ... we 'll figure this out . joey : yeah . kayla : all right , put your dad on the phone , would you , please ? and joey ... joey : yeah ? kayla : i want you to know that i -- i have faith that you are gon na turn this around . and i love you with all my heart . joey : i love you too . here . steve : hey . good work . pretty sure you got through to him . kayla : i hope so . steve : so is john there ? the two of you need to get back to the motel . kayla : we 're on our way . jade : look , dude . you might think you know joey , but guess what ? he 's no snitch . whatever you think you know , you do n't . and you surely do n't know us . the cops have n't -- they do n't have anything on our family . kayla : well , maybe they do n't today , but someday they will . joey obviously has some kind of weird loyalty to you . but the next little lovesick boy that you bring in here to your troupe , he may not be so committed to your cause . jade : you have n't got a clue . kayla : you know what , jade ? you 're right . i do n't have a clue . i do n't have a clue how a pretty , intelligent girl like you , who has her whole life in front of her , is squandering it in a place like this . stealing , making trouble . and i do n't know if you have any goals . what , are you sitting around getting high all day ? i mean , it 's sad . it 's really sad . and you , is this the life you want for your niece , for all these kids ? what kind of woman are you ? shawn : hey , hey , think i got something here . good find . shawn : there , we got it . got an earring . hmm . let 's bag this up . investigator : yes , sir . rafe : roman and i have to ask you a few questions . we need you to listen carefully and to tell the truth . nicole : you got it , rafe . rafe : okay . nicole : we all know this is n't my first time . roman : nicole , what happened between you and deimos down by the river this evening ? nicole : you ca n't seriously be telling me that was the last time he was seen . roman : hey , we have a witness saying you were the last one to see him alive , that there was a fight . nicole : someone saw us fight ? rafe : yes . roman : there 's also a video of the incident . nicole : well , then , why the hell am i here ? you saw the recording , did n't you ? okay , we fought , and it was bad , but then i took off . tell me you saw that in the video . rafe : no , we did n't . roman : unfortunately , there was no footage showing you leaving the confrontation . the witness dropped the phone . nicole : you got to be kidding me . roman : and also claims to have see which means you can help us fill in the blanks here . can you tell us what that witness could have seen ? rafe : right now would probably be a good time to call an attorney . [ cell phone ringing ] belle : hello ? nicole : hi , belle . it 's nicole walker . listen , brady said i could call you with any legal troubles we have with dj wear . belle : right , yeah . he mentioned that . i thought he bought you out . nicole : he did . i was wondering if you could help me with a very serious issue . i 'm down at the station , and i 'm being questioned about the man i currently work for , deimos kiriakis . according to some video someone took , i 'm the last person to have seen him alive . belle : oh . then ... nicole : yeah . can you come down here ? belle : on my way . nicole : thanks . i 'll see you soon . well , i just spoke to belle . she 's on her way down here . that is , if she does n't remember how much she hates me and leaves me here to rot . rafe : all right . off the record . what is going on between you and deimos , huh ? nicole : rafe , it 's complicated . rafe : well , yeah , i 'll bet it is . why would a witness follow you and deimos down to the river ? nicole : why would anyone follow anyone ? because they want to spy on them . wait . oh , my -- oh , my god . the witness . please tell me it 's not kate . damn it . of course it is . you know what , this makes perfect sense now . rafe : what does ? nicole : you 've known all along , and you did n't see it ? that bitch is setting me up . understanding of our ways , our process . you stand here before me , criticizing what you know nothing about . kayla : let me just say , first off , this little mysterious process that you have , i have no desire to understand it . i am sure that you bullied my son into driving all your juvenile delinquents around . simone : a lone arrest , only your son . question him , not me , not my children . this is a place of peace . your child had a lapse in judgment . he veered from the family code , rules that we abide by . when he returns to us , he -- john : oh , god , woman . you are so full of it . you think anybody 's really buying this peace and love charade ? simone : [ scoffs ] i 'm not selling . john : of course you are . you just sold one of your new members down the river . he 's gon na take the rap . you 're gon na get off squeaky clean , right ? simone : like i 've said , this is a place of peace and tranquility . take your baseless accusations elsewhere . kayla : baseless ? i think that that desert sun has fried your brain , lady . you know what , i am glad . i 'm glad that my son was arrested . give him one more second here under your idiotic spell , and god knows what he would have done , and he might have ended up in prison for years . you know what , that is not my son 's future . but it will be yours . shawn : huh . detective brady , what is it ? [ dramatic music ] rafe : so you , kate , and deimos ? nicole : yes , my ex - business partner , now boss , is jealous because deimos showed interest in me . rafe : hope mentioned a while back she saw you with deimos . care to explain that ? nicole : it 's a long story . belle : and it 'll have to wait . nicole : thank you for coming . belle : if you do n't mind , detective , i 'd like to speak to my client alone . rafe : fair enough . let me know if you need anything . belle : well , start at the beginning . rafe : helena tasso . nicole : because i look so much like her , deimos became infatuated with me , so i used that to my advantage , but not for my own purpose . i did it for maggie , like i said , and daniel , because he loved her so much . i mean , daniel would have hated what deimos did to her . rafe : so your connection to deimos was because of your resemblance to the late helena tasso ? now , do you think that made kate jealous ? nicole : yes . she hated it . you saw the video . deimos asked me to make love to him on the riverbank . i 'd be his princess . roman : but you refused ? nicole : i walked away . belle : and then , as the witness supposedly , and very conveniently i might add , dropped the phone and , therefore , stopped recording , she saw you push deimos kiriakis into the river . well , listen . i think , since you have no reasonable proof that my client committed murder , we 're done here . and i 'd like to speak to my client alone . rafe : take your time . roman : but , nicole , i 'd suggest not leaving town . joey : is mom coming ? steve : should n't be long now . joey : i 'm gon na go grab some snacks for the road . steve : well , make it quick . as soon as john and your mom get here , we 're splitting . joey : gotcha . fynn : i 'll make sure there 's some gas in the tank . steve : hey , before you do that , how about you and i clear the air ? fynn : right . steve : i know i 've been a jerk to you , but you have n't been that cool with me , either . but now i know it was because you were looking out for kayla . and i appreciate that . i owe you . fynn : yeah , no worries , man . simone : well , it is crystal clear now . i see what drove your son to come here with my niece and join our family . he was desperate the escape the lack of spirituality in his former life , the tedium . oh , the boy is his father , no doubt . kayla : what the hell are you getting at ? simone : i 'm just point out the simple fact that your son is a soulful young man who craves adventure , not to mention connection with like - minded people , just like his father does . kayla : you do n't know my son , and you for sure do n't know -- simone : your ex - husband ? steve `` patch `` johnson . i know he could n't get enough of my kombucha . it 's a tea . and then he told me about his son joey running away from home . and more notably , he told me about his attraction to danger . but you , kayla , seem to want to cage the tiger , because you no longer have the courage to live life on the wild side . you did steve a favor by leaving him . now he 's free to run , explore , embrace the beast within . and he 's welcome here anytime he pleases . john : trust me , you do n't want any part of what 's caged up inside of this woman . kayla : how dare her ? she does n't know a damn thing about me or steve . the nerve , telling me what steve needs or that i did him a favor by leaving him . i mean , that 's just outrageous . what ? why are you looking at me like that ? john : just wondering why you 're so upset . have n't you moved on with fynn ? nicole : i know that kate is n't a highly moral person . no , i 'd like to amend that . she is a completely amoral person . but to pin this on me ? why would she do that ? belle : listen , you have to stop trying to analyze kate . okay , you need to go home , go to bed , and in the morning , deimos will , we hope , show up , dead or alive , and then we 'll have more information . nicole : i 'm not gon na sleep tonight , believe me . belle : okay , well , you are gon na go straight home , and you 're gon na turn off that phone . you will not look for kate . you will not call her , skype her , text her , email her , or contact her by carrier pigeon . got it ? rafe : nicole 's statement matches the video . roman : yeah , we gained nothing concrete on the supposed murder . shawn : well , we may have found something that changes everything . john : oh -- forget i said that . i 'm sorry . it 's just that -- it 's just breaking my heart , kayla . kayla : what is ? john : just knowing that you mean everything to steve . he loves you with every cell in his body . and it 's just breaking my heart . the two of you ca n't seem to work things out . kayla : you know why that is , john . it 's because -- it 's just like that woman , that obnoxious , ridiculous woman just said . she was right on the woman . steve craves adventure and danger , so much so that he will put our family at risk . he needs that thrill more than he needs me . john : no , not true . kayla : yes , it is . i 've accepted it . and you should too . john : oh , damn it , kayla . you do n't get it , do you ? you are part of that adventure . you are the biggest part . not to mention that you are and always will be the most important person in his life . so would you quit being so damn stubborn and just give the man a chance to make things right ? lani : with all the evidence , i mean , it 's clear that there was a struggle . rafe : well , once the blood results are in , we can move forward . roman : by making an arrest . belle : we 're done . roman : nicole , remember what i said about leaving town . nicole : i 'm not running . belle : i 'll contact you later . nicole : okay . shawn : hey , how you feeling ? belle : uh , better . sorry i had to cancel on dinner last night . shawn : oh , it 's fine . i 'm almost done here . are you available tonight ? belle : sorry , i 'm not . kayla : [ sighs ] i am so glad that you are all right . joey : i 'm doing a lot better now that you 're here safe . i 'm glad you let the doctor tag along . kayla : fynn 's a good guy . i would n't be here if he had n't brought me . steve : yeah , thanks again , fynn . joey : mom , you should n't have come to l.a. , not in your condition . kayla : well , you should have thought about that before you ran away . were you just trying to hurt your father and me ? were you trying to punish us ? joey : no . not exactly . i mean ... i do n't know . i just had to . kayla : i do n't understand . joey : it 's hard to explain . i had to find myself . kayla : i hate that expression . joey : i 'm sorry . i do n't know how else to put it . but anyway , i did find a part of myself . and it made me realize the man i want to be . kayla : you want to elaborate on that ? joey : i do n't want to go looking for trouble anymore . i do n't want to disappoint you , or dad . kayla : you 're gon na make better choices . joey : yeah , i 'm gon na try . john : you know , making mistakes here and there , not a soul on earth is immune to that . but what 's important is what you take away from them . joey : yeah , i get that now . nice to see you , mom and dad . kayla : i love you . [ knock at door ] kate : adams , you 're supposed to answer the door .

[ scene_break ] elizabeth : for just an instant tonight , i looked into lucky 's eyes , and i saw the man i fell in love with . and i wanted to wrap my arms around him and say `` where have you been ? `` emily : why did n't you ? elizabeth : because i know exactly where he 's been . he 's been in a room above kelly 's and in our bed with maxie jones . i 'm not saying i 'm perfect . but that night that i spent with jason would have never happened if i thought there was anything left to me and lucky . emily : elizabeth , i thought nikolas and i had lost everything , too . but nothing is set in stone . people change for the better and then for the worst , and then back again sometimes . but the love never really goes away . elizabeth : i know , and that 's what makes it so difficult . because i do still love him . a part of me always will , but it 's not enough . i have to think about my kids , and little cameron -- his life has been so disrupted by me trying to help lucky , and i 'm not going to do it again . i have to be fair to this baby . emily : does n't that include letting the baby 's father be present in its life ?

[ scene_break ] elizabeth : for just an instant tonight , i looked into lucky 's eyes , and i saw the man i fell in love with . and i wanted to wrap my arms around him and say `` where have you been ? `` emily : why did n't you ? elizabeth : because i know exactly where he 's been . he 's been in a room above kelly 's and in our bed with maxie jones . i 'm not saying i 'm perfect . but that night that i spent with jason would have never happened if i thought there was anything left to me and lucky . emily : elizabeth , i thought nikolas and i had lost everything , too . but nothing is set in stone . people change for the better and then for the worst , and then back again sometimes . but the love never really goes away . elizabeth : i know , and that 's what makes it so difficult . because i do still love him . a part of me always will , but it 's not enough . i have to think about my kids , and little cameron -- his life has been so disrupted by me trying to help lucky , and i 'm not going to do it again . i have to be fair to this baby . emily : does n't that include letting the baby 's father be present in its life ?

[ scene_break ] alexis : robin , you have n't even examined me . how are you so sure that i ca n't represent sam ? robin : well , because i 've seen your chart . you have stage - two lung cancer . you 're starting out with a 50 % survival rate . sam : hey , what -- are you trying to upset her ? robin : no , i 'm just being realistic . you have a surgical procedure on one lung . then you developed post - op pneumonia . we had to induce a coma so we can fight yet another infection . overall , you 've been slow to respond to any treatment . and on top of that , you have a lot of stress , which complicates everything . sam : that 's enough . robin : you should n't be thinking about representing your daughter . you should be thinking about enjoying what could very well be your last days . patrick : thank you very much for your opinion , dr. scorpio . i apologize . my colleague -- she 's obviously lost her mind . alexis : i ca n't argue with the facts . patrick : the facts are you 're showing remarkable courage in the face of a serious illness . i 'm very impressed with your tenacity and determination from the start . alexis : but dr. scorpio just said -- patrick : dr. scorpio 's not herself at the moment . and she 's speculating , and i 'm sorry . in my opinion , your prognosis is great . you 'll live as long and as well as you choose to . [ scene_break ] [ christmas music plays ] nikolas : so listen , i -- i 'm not trying to discourage you or anything . i just want you to be prepared for what might happen , that 's all . lucky : did n't you just say i should have kissed elizabeth ? nikolas : i did . but i guess you felt like you knew better . lucky : well , the longer i stay clean , the easier it 'll be for elizabeth to see the man she married again , the man who loves her . nikolas : but this is putting a lot of pressure on yourself , do n't you think ? lucky : it 's faith . i am the father of elizabeth 's baby , and that baby one day will lead us back into each other 's arms , and we 'll be a family again . elizabeth : i do n't want to keep trashing lucky , but look at the kind of family man he 's become . i mean , he 's a drug addict who conceived another child with his girlfriend -- probably in my bed . he 's disrespected me for months . he 's tried to frame jason for drug possession , and almost got me shot in the process . emily : my father did terrible things , elizabeth , when he was addicted to hydrocodone . it was really tough for a while , but he and my mom -- they got through it . elizabeth : yeah , but monica 's children were almost grown when that happened . i have a toddler and a baby on the way , and they deserve a stable home . how do i know if lucky 's going to relapse ? how does he even know ? emily : that 's where faith comes in . elizabeth : and if it were just me , then i guess i could take that chance , but i have to consider my children . and they deserve to have a father who 's loving and consistent and who 's not going to sleep with another woman for a handful of pills . i guess my problem is i just have n't really forgiven him yet . and i do n't want my children to grow up with anger and resentment and just waiting for the other shoe to drop . you know , i want to give them a home with two parents who love and respect each other . and if i ca n't do that , then i 'd rather raise my kids alone . emily : alone ? or with someone besides lucky ?

[ scene_break ] robin : there 's no reason to do this . i do n't want to talk to you right now . patrick : well , you 're going to listen . damn it , robin , this is a hospital . you are a doctor . your job it so heal people , not use them for your own private ethical dilemma . robin : there is no dilemma . patrick : what were you thinking telling alexis that ? robin : well , alexis happened to ask me for my opinion . patrick : so you deliver her eulogy ? not to mention , set yourself up for a malpractice suit ? robin : i do n't believe a doctor can be sued for telling the truth . patrick : you did n't even examine her . robin : that 's because i 've read her chart , several times , and it 's very clear . patrick : oh , and you 're always right , are n't you ? robin : oh . i forgot . you always have to be right . you are the brilliant doctor who suddenly decided that i 've given up on everyone because i could n't cure laura spencer . patrick : unfortunately , this goes much further than laura spencer . this is about you being alive and stone being dead . [ scene_break ] jason : i understand you did n't cause any of this , and you did n't mean to be involved , but we 'll be spending a lot of time together . so whatever is bothering you , just say it , ok ? or set it aside until later . lulu : and what are you going to do , send me back ? jason : if i have to , yes . your attitude attracts too much attention . you 're being mean to the night clerk for no reason . lulu : hmm . so that 's why you gave her a $ 100 tip ? jason : no , i 'm a fugitive , lulu , and alcazar wants you dead . i 'd rather have her happy than in tears . lulu : and you think it 's ok that she brings a baby with her on the graveyard shift ? jason : it 's not -- it 's not my choice -- or yours . lulu : well , she probably did n't even want the kid , and now the kid is well aware of it . jason : oh , ok . well , maybe you 're right . all right ? or maybe abigail wanted to be a mother more than anything in the world . lulu : she obviously could n't afford it . otherwise , she would n't be here . jason : well , she 's making a sacrifice for her child . maybe her life got a whole lot more difficult when she got pregnant , and she had to realize she had to deal with it alone . so she 's doing what she has to do to take care of her child . maybe she 's glad that she has a kid . you know how many women who would give anything to have a kid ? i mean , especially women who thought they had a kid once , and all of the sudden , it was gone . lulu : what do you know ? you 're a guy . you do n't have the first clue about any of this .

i said it . call me an idiot . justin : okay , idiot . i 'm gon na tell you what you tell your sons -- do something about it . bill : it 's too late . justin : it 's never too late -- your mantra , not mine . bill : no . no , i waited too long ... chasing a dream . all the while , it was right there in front of me -- beautiful wife and family . and now she 's putting a life together with a dressmaker . katie : it 's okay . caroline gives you something that i ca n't . ridge : it 's different . it 's not the same thing . katie : you speak the same language . you feel the same things . you 're artists . it 's only natural that you would be drawn to each other . ridge : katie ... i love you . katie : and i love you , too . but it 's not enough . i understand , ridge . i - i really do . and i 'm not angry and i 'm not blaming you for anything , and i would never , ever , ever tell you to stop working with caroline , because this -- this -- this is who you are . this is what makes you happy , and i want more than anything for you to be happy . i 'm gon na take this off . ridge : please do n't do that . katie : i -- it 's okay . it really is , because i 've known that this moment was coming . i was just trying to put it off for a little while longer . ridge : you do n't have to do that . katie : i do ... because i know how this ends , and i do n't ever want to regret loving you . i do n't ever want to regret being loved by you . you came in to my life at a time when i really needed to be loved by somebody , and i will never forget that . see ? that was n't so hard . ridge : i 'm sorry . katie : i 'm not . ridge : this thing with caroline -- it 's professional . we 're working together . katie : i do n't need you to lie to me to make me feel better . and i certainly do n't want you to lie to yourself . i wish ... so badly that i could be the one who inspires you ... but i 'm not . and that 's just the truth . you ca n't change it , no matter how much you want to , because ... it 's the truth . ridge : i do n't know what my truth is anymore . katie : well , then , i hope you find it . our time together has been magical -- the way we found each other , the way we opened our hearts to each other . and you have to know that i will never forget a single second of it . ridge : neither will i . katie : [ chuckle softly ] katie : `` the fountains mingle with the river and the rivers with the ocean , the winds of heaven mix for ever with a sweet emotion . nothing in this world is single ; all things by a law divine in one spirit meet and mingle . why not i with thine ? `` maya : you ca n't be doing this . rick : please do n't take this personally . maya : what am i supposed to do -- go back to waiting tables ? ! rick : we 'll give you a good recommendation . i 'm sure you can get a great job at another fashion house . maya : you ca n't be doing this . this is because of her . she made you do this ! rick : no . caroline , have we even discussed this ? caroline : no . rick : this was my decision . this is the right decision . you made inflated allegations against caroline and ridge . you disrupted our design team . i 'm doing this for the good of the company , and i 'm doing this for my wife . maya : i have committed myself to this company ! was n't it bad enough that you dumped me , and now you 're firing me ? ! rick : maya , this is n't easy for me , either . i 'm back together with my wife . you have to understand that i love her . maya : look , i - i promise i wo n't be a problem for you . i will stay away from both of you . rick : you and i both know that 's not gon na work . one of us has to go . it 's not gon na be caroline . it 's certainly not gon na be me . eric : no , rick . maya stays . rick : dad . eric : i appreciate your devotion to the company and to your wife , but what happened between you and maya took two . maya does not lose her job over this . maya : thank you , eric . eric : now , if there 's nothing else , this meeting is adjourned . caroline : thank you . your loyalty to me -- i ca n't tell you what it means . rick : you deserve it . every bit of it .Summarize.[/INST]eric looks over the papers and repeats that rick wants him to sign this . rick says yes , it would be a leap of faith on his part . eric says yes but he 'd lose all leverage he had with the company . rick points out that due to eric 's generosity he no longer owns the company but he is the company and does own the voting rights . eric points out again rick would have final say in everything . rick asks if that bothers him as he took it to heart everything his dad said about forgiving caroline and ridge . he opines that he is ready to run this company with caroline into the future but it is awfully hard to do that with ridge trying to undermine him . bill is not listening or paying attention to business details with justin . he assumes it is brooke until grumpy bill says no it is katie . she had her place all laid out for a seduction when he left . forrester is a pig and she deserves better than that loser . justin senses this is more than a friendly concern for his ex - wife ; he wants katie back . well it is never too late . that is bill 's mantra , not justin 's , so do something about it . bill grumbles that he spent too much time chasing a dream when this was always right in front of him . now she is putting her life together with the dressmaker . ridge shows katie a new design he is proud of and working on . she asks if he did it alone , and he has to admit no , caroline helped as his dad insisted they stay and work together . she asks how does he feel about that . he says he just wants what is best for caroline , that she be happy and do her work without feeling awkward . katie admits he should continue doing that . then she adds that ridge came into her life at just the right time and she into his . but when he talks about his work , there is a light that comes on inside him . and it is not because of katie but caroline and it 's more than gratitude . she asks him if he loves caroline . if he does she understands as they are both artists and feel the same thing . caroline gives him something that she ca n't . he tells her that he loves her . she says she loves him too but now it 's not enough . she tells him that she understands and she is not angry and would never tell him to stop working with caroline as that is who he is . she wants more than anything for him to be happy and this makes him happy . she looks at the ribbon in her finger and says she is going to take it off . he asks her not to . she says it is all right . she has known for some time but wanted to put it off a little longer . she cries that he came into her life when she really needed to be loved and she will never forget that . slowly she unravels the ribbon and lays it in her palm . she tells him she wishes so badly she could be the one who inspires him but she is not . they can not change that . he says he is sorry and she says she is n't . she hopes he finds his truth . she says their time was magical and she will never forget a single moment of it . they share a goodbye kiss before he leaves .</s> | 6,210 |

as you know , we 've been doing this for many years , a tradition which started by a very generous and gracious woman who is sadly no longer with us . katherine crane . tabitha : maybe everyone in this town is as dumb as a post . huh . you 'd think they 'd be able to figure out who mrs .. wheeler is now . sam : before katherine crane died , she and her very young daughter , sheridan , would light the christmas tree every year . tabitha : dear , dear katherine crane . what a woman . just like sam bennett said -- generous and gracious to the core . no wonder her son and daughter could n't get over her death . but then , of course , there are those rumors . katherine : what rumors ? tabitha : oh , you know , rumors that she did n't die at all -- she just up and left harmony on her own one dark and dreary night . but i do n't think that 's possible , do you , mrs .. wheeler ? i mean , what woman would abandon her children like that ? especially a vulnerable little girl like sheridan . i ca n't imagine leaving my little girl under any circumstances . can you ? endora : boo . tabitha : boo ? endora : boo . tabitha : oh , no need to answer that , dear . we all know what you 'd do . sam : and tonight we 're fortunate to have one of harmony 's newest residents to help me light the christmas tree . paloma lopez - fitzgeralds . luis : yay ! woo - hood ! paloma : are -- are these for me ? sam : actually , the tradition was started by a very young sheridan crane when she was selected the first tree lighter . she would always give the flowers to her mother and invite her up here to share in the honor with her . paloma : ahem -- i have to give these to my mother ? sam : that 's the way we 've always done it . luis : come on , maybe this will help you break the ice with paloma . paloma : you 've been more like a mother to me all my life than my real mother . would you light the christmas tree with me ? pilot : we 'll be taking off as soon as the rest of your luggage is stored in the baggage compartment . julian : thank you , shawn . eve : who knew shopping could be such hard work ? julian : as long as you 're happy . eve : oh , julian , i have never in my whole life been so spoiled or so taken care of . julian : god , you are cared for . i loved you all those years ago . i love you now . eve , i will always love you . paloma : will you ? will you act as my mother and help me turn on the christmas tree lights ? katherine : paloma , i 'm honored , truly . but this is something you should be doing with your mother . paloma : but she has never been a mother to me . you have . will you do it ? please ? katherine : yes , of course . kay : you know , it 's funny . as mad as i was at mom before she left , i really miss her right now . jessica : me , too . simone : i miss mine , too , even after everything she did . sheridan : hey . gwen : hey . sheridan : so when are you going to find out about the d.n.a . test ? gwen : normally , we would have found out already . but with the holiday -- i mean , sheridan , how did things come to this ? sheridan : i do n't know , but i am so sorry . i ca n't even imagine how you must feel about ethan being with theresa . gwen : you know , i ca n't even deal with that part of it right now . right now i am just focusing on my daughter and making sure theresa does not take her away from me . katherine : paloma , i wish you would make peace with your mother . paloma : i hate her . she means nothing to me , just as i mean nothing to her . martin : this must be hard , i know . katherine : it 's so much harder for pilar . and the irony is , i know exactly what she 's going through -- desperate to connect with he daughter , and she 's not able to get through . something else , martin -- i think that tabitha lenox knows who i am . martin : oh , she could n't possibly . katherine : no , no , no -- she 's something else . i 'm not so sure . sheridan : hey , look , please , do n't be angry with me for talking to gwen . luis : i 'm not . she 's your oldest and closest friend . sheridan : good . i was afraid that you would think i was being disloyal again . luis : of course not . it was completely different when you sided with mrs .. wheeler . i mean , she 's no one to you . she 's not a friend , and she 's certainly not family . beth : `` mother . `` what could alistair have meant , huh ? luis : so , are you going to be all right ? i mean , if your father does n't make it through the night ? sheridan : after everything he 's done to keep us apart , i think i 'll be fine . luis : good . well , no matter what happens , nothing is going to stop us from getting married , you know that . tabitha : oh , maybe alistair wo n't stop the wedding , but someone will . sam : well , paloma , you 're on . sam : yeah ! simone : oh , it 's beautiful ! tabitha : oh -- oh , no . do n't look , endora . * on the next passions * gwen : i was wondering if you have the d.n.a . test results that you did on my daughter . theresa : i am calling to get the results of the d.n.a . test that was done on my baby . rebecca : if you let sam give luis ' job back , i will destroy you . tabitha : i would like to tell you a little story about your mother and where she is today . | as the community gathers to light the town christmas tree , there are a lot of un - christmasy feelings in the air . gwen and rebecca literally throw pilar and theresa out of the crane mansion , then keep theresa from taking her son to the celebration . martin and katherine show up at paloma 's urging , since she has been picked to light the tree , and luis is n't happy to see them there . pilar is even less happy at seeing them kissing in public , giving them both early presents - although not the good kind . tabitha is stirring up trouble right and left , and sam has to come to the rescue . all 's well that ends well , however . | <s>[INST] kay : where 's the angel ? i know there 's got to be an angel somewhere . tabitha : do n't look , endora . jessica : look , endora . look at all the pretty lights . tabitha : this is the price we have to pay for living with muggles . kay : she 's a baby witch who 's going to grow up to be a big one just like her mother . she ca n't tolerate anything to do with the birth of christ . tabitha : hello , hello -- whose side are you on anyway ? last i knew , you 'd just joined us on the dark side . kay : well , not if it means giving up christmas . i want maria to enjoy it the same way i did growing up . tabitha : you were young and naive then , kay . you 'd better remember where your loyalties lie now , girl . kay : you know , i do n't know what good it 's done me to join up with you and your nasty crowd anyway in the basement . miguel 's off on some ridiculous search for charity . my mom is in europe with a man that she thinks is her first husband -- tabitha : mm - hmm . kay : and poor simone over there is in just as bad a shape about her family . i do n't want to even talk about the lopez - fitzgeralds ' messes . i would n't even know where to start . tabitha : yes , i know . is n't it absolutely perfect ? kay : no , it 's horrible . tabitha : yes , i know . that 's what i 'm saying -- perfect . it 's going to be an ever so miserable christmas for everyone , maybe even worse than thanksgiving if we 're lucky . hmm ? eh , endora ? jessica : found it ! it was at the bottom of the box . [ endora growls ] tabitha : shh . jessica : what was that ? simone : it 's the baby . oh , my god . julian : wake up , beautiful . eve : julian . julian : would you like some coffee ? the chef 's almost finished making a really terrific meal . eve : where are you taking me ? julian : well , that 's a surprise . eve : oh , now , that 's hardly fair . whisking me off to some super - secret destination on the brand - new crane jet . i did n't even have a chance to say goodbye to the girls . julian : you wo n't be gone that long . eve : well , i guess it does n't matter . they would n't miss me anyway . julian : all right , now , no sad thoughts , not today . you see , the idea is to forget everything that has been worrying you and just leave it back home in harmony . eve : would that it were so easy . i would love to forget that my sister tore up my marriage and that my daughters hate me . i do n't think any getaway could accomplish that . julian : can you try , just for me ? eve : if it means that much to you . so where are you taking me ? julian : you 'll know soon enough . ethan : oh . theresa : what 's going on ? ethan : there 's something i got to tell you . rebecca : hey , you two -- get out ! you are trespassing on private property . theresa : what are you talking about , rebecca ? mom and i live here . rebecca : wrong again ! and if you are n't off this property in five minutes , i am going to have security toss you out . theresa : wait a minute . ok , we were just thrown out of the hospital , ok ? my things are in there , my mother 's things are in there . rebecca : uh -- not anymore , they are n't . theresa : oh , my god . do you see this ? gwen : damn , you missed her . maybe the next one . theresa : no , you ca n't do this , rebecca ! rebecca : oh , no ? watch me . good riddance to bad rubbish . theresa : oh , my god . [ rebecca laughs ] katherine : oh , my gosh . it 's the tree lighting tonight . martin : are you ok ? katherine : but it just caught me off guard . it 's been such a long time . i remember i used to bring sheridan here when she was a little girl . we loved it . paloma : papa ! tia ! katherine : oh ! hi , darling . paloma : i 'm so glad you could meet me here . martin : i 'm just not sure why you asked us . paloma : it 's christmas , my first christmas in harmony since i was a baby , and i was asked to light the christmas tree when it is time , and i wanted you to be here with me . katherine : i 'm sorry , paloma , but i just ca n't . i ca n't . i 'm sorry . mrs. wallace : i know why you ca n't stop yawning today -- because you could n't sleep a wink last night thinking about sheridan and her little boy , now , could you ? beth : you know what ? i 'm never going to forgive you for bringing him to be with her . mrs. wallace : like i care . beth : it does n't matter . i just have to figure out what alistair meant by the word `` mother `` and how it can break up luis and sheridan . luis : hey . hey , hey , hey . hey , champ . sheridan : hey , look at daddy . luis : you all ready for the tree lighting , huh ? sheridan : aw . luis : huh , huh ? sheridan : what a little angel . luis : yay . beth : i was n't sure if you two would make it . luis : what , are you kidding ? we 're not going to miss this for the world , are we ? huh , bud ? sheridan : beth , are -- are you ok ? you look a little tired . beth : i 'm just a little cold , that 's all . sheridan : oh , you ca n't get sick . i mean , we need you to be a part of the wedding . luis : that 's right . beth : of course . you know , i would n't let anything get in the way of your big day . in fact , i thought of the perfect present for you guys . sheridan : oh , beth , that 's not necessary . beth : oh , of course it is . and -- you know what ? it 's a doozy . i might even call it a showstopper . singer : i would hold the hand of the one who could lead me places and kiss the lips of the one who could sing so sweet and i would fly on the wings of the bird i knew could take me highest breathe in , breathe out you keep me alive you are the fire burning inside of me you are my passion for life julian : turn around . eve : oh -- are you going to blindfold me ? julian : uh - huh . eve : i 'm not rebecca , julian . julian : well , you do n't have to tell me that . i mean , it 's just to maximize the surprise . eve : all right , if it 'll make you happy . julian : you make me happy , eve . i just want to return the favor . sam : i need a tall volunteer . one of the strings of lights at the top got tangled up . luis : oh , i guess that 'd be me ? sam : not necessarily . mrs. wallace : heavens to murgatroid . precious , you want to help ? beth : marty , look ! precious is climbing the tree . luis : hey , by the way , is there any news on alistair ? sam : as a matter of fact , there is . luis : yeah ? sam : yeah , it looks like your father has taken a turn for the worse . does n't look like he 'll be around long enough to tell us that word that was going to break you and sheridan up , or who poisoned him . look , christmas or no , i want you all to be aware that this case is my top priority . nobody in harmony gets away with attempted murder or murder . katherine : i 'm sorry , paloma , that i ca n't stay for the tree lighting . paloma : but everyone says it 's the best part of the christmas season in harmony . martin : yeah , but -- i know , it 's just not a good idea , sweetheart . you know , if your mother and luis come , they wo n't want to see us . paloma : but i need you here with me . it 's my first time lighting the tree . being with you makes me feel less homesick for puerto arena . it takes some of the pain away . please , papi ? please , tia ? rebecca : ha - ha ! ethan : gwen , rebecca , stop it , will you ? that 's enough ! you made your point , all right ? rebecca : oh , i have not even begun , ethan . oh , and , theresa , you can take your not - so - saintly long - suffering mother with you . gwen : theresa , you better be out of here by the time we come down . ethan : look , maybe it 's best . you should probably just leave , all right , before they get out here . pilar : no , mija . no . gwen : why are you still here ? theresa : i am not going anywhere without my son . rebecca : oh , did you hear this , gwennie ? she actually thinks that we 're going to let her take little ethan with her . theresa : you know what ? you ca n't do this . i promised him that i would take him to the ceremony . gwen : in your dreams ! he 's never going anywhere with you ever again . theresa : you know what ? you ca n't do this . little ethan ! gwen : get the hell out of here ! theresa : you know what ? i 'm going in to see my son . gwen : over my dead body , theresa ! ethan : gwen ! pilar : no ! gwen : get out of here ! do n't you ever come back , do you hear me ?

you 've got a wrong impression , ok ? and just for the record , mama and i were thrown out of the mansion tonight by gwen and rebecca . and they wo n't even let me be with my son for christmas . martin : maybe there 's another room at the bed - and - breakfast that you and pilar could stay in . theresa : you know what ? we will work it out on our own . we have been fine so far . sheridan : ok , everybody , look -- please , would you stop all this fighting ? i mean , it 's almost christmas . tabitha : looks like the fourth of july with all those fireworks , not this awful christmas holiday that everyone makes such a fuss about . gwen : sweetheart , let 's go this way . little ethan : mommy ! that 's my mommy ! theresa : it 's little ethan . rebecca : oh , you can see her later , sweetheart . come on , i 'm going to take you to see santa , remember ?

look , yes . i could 've told daniel about liam sooner , and i tried . but he did n't make it easy . i mean , he treated me like i was a lying piece of garbage , kind of like you 've been doing this whole night . brady : all i 've done is ask you to tell me the truth . that 's it . theresa : yeah , over and over and over again , when really , i 'm not involved . [ cell phone trills ] brady : the police found liam frazer . i guess it 's all gon na come out now . nicole : well , um ... i ran into liam a few times , you know . and ... i -- well , you know , he -- oh , thank you . thank you for this . look , can we just all go down to the docks or something ? hope : no , let 's just finish this first , okay ? did liam make any threats ? jennifer : nicole ... she was investigating him for her tv show , i 'm sure . nicole : right , yes . jennifer : i mean , she 'd even talked to his ex - wife . nicole : yeah . debra . it seems that liam was dumped by the love of his life , and he spent the rest of his life trying to find a replacement . and i guess debra looked a lot like his old flame . and then he got weird , and she divorced him . and then debra told me that jennifer looked exactly like his ex . hope : why did n't you call the police ? nicole : well , 'cause i just started piecing everything together . and i talked to maggie , and she said jenn was already on her way , and i tried calling her , and i swear i heard liam 's voice in the background . hope : then you should 've called the police . nicole : well , i tried to , but then i was already on the ferry over here , and i had lousy reception . daniel : okay , well , thank god she made it out . if she had n't come -- jennifer : yes , we would n't even be having this discussion . hope : yeah , it 's great that you came , but i 'm still a little lost here . why 'd you suspect liam enough ? i mean , what -- why ? nicole : let 's put it this way . i know there 's no way that daniel would use drugs . so who do i run into in the elevator at daniel 's apartment ? liam . and he tells me some story that he has some secret affair going on with another doctor in the building . so i checked the story out , right ? totally bogus . hope : so you saw liam by daniel 's apartment , and you discovered that his alibi was a lie , and it still never dawned on you to call the police ? daniel : okay , just take it easy . she did n't have any proof . i mean , a reporter has to be careful about lawsuits . detective , the medevac 's coming in , and forensics is 15 minutes out . hope : okay , great . thanks . that 's it for now . the chopper will land by the dock . you guys head that way . nicole , we 'll finish later . nicole : okay . jennifer : come on . let 's go . eric : hey . do n't worry . he 's not gon na hurt you anymore . want a fiber that 's clearly healthy ? bev : hey , if you want to go somewhere else , i am totally down for that . jj : um -- no . no , no . we 're good . my cousin sonny owns this place , so , you know , support the family . bev : right . got it . do you think he could at least slip us some booze ? jj : um , you know , i do n't think sonny 's working today . and i would n't ask anyway 'cause he has a license to protect , you know . but if you 're thirsty , i can -- i can get us some sodas . bev : no , no , i 'm fine . i - i -- jj : well , you know , you know , no , actually i want one . so i 'll be right back . paige : [ sighs ] i do n't get it , jj . jj : what ? paige : why are you so mad at me ? everything was great with us . then i tell you i 'm going to stanford this fall , and you get all weird . jj : i 'm not mad or weird . paige : could 've fooled me . i mean , it 's not like i kept it secret . as soon as i found out i made it off the wait list , i told you . why 'd you blow up ? jj : i - i did n't . okay , here 's how i see it , okay ? i mean , why put a whole lot of time into getting to know someone when she 's just going to disappear in the next few months , seriously ? and if there 's no future , then just move on . paige : so you 're just not gon na talk to me ? jj : no , of course . it 's -- i mean , we 're cool . paige : yeah . right . you know what really sucks ? i had fun when i was with you . when we got together , it meant something ... to me . obviously not to you . abigail : oh , it 's my mom . finally . there you are . we 've been trying to get ahold of you . what ? right . okay , yeah , we 'll be right there . maggie : what happened ? abigail : okay , i do n't want you to get upset , but everyone is all right . maggie : okay . abigail : but we have to go to the hospital . maggie : oh . that does n't sound good . daniel : ah , hey , there . jennifer : hey . what 'd they say ? daniel : well , 14 stitches , antibiotic regimen ... jennifer : what ? daniel : bandage , and a new scar , new shirt . got it out of my locker . how was your checkup ? jennifer : it was great . i just have a couple of bruises . but i think nicole 's gon na need some x - rays . daniel : yeah . jennifer : thank god you 're okay . i mean , when i heard that gun go off and i saw you lying there bleeding -- daniel : hey , hey . when i got out to the island and i saw your cabin a mess , i went out of my mind . jennifer : i still ca n't figure out how you knew i was in trouble . i mean , how did you know it was liam ? eric : i wish you would 've told me you suspected liam frazer . i mean , i was never sold on the idea that you thought theresa was the one who drugged daniel , but still . nicole : okay , but next time , you 'll be the first to know , okay ? eric : good , 'cause i 'm gon na hold you to it . you know , people never really give you the credit you deserve , always helping your friends , totally being selfless . nicole : no , no . not -- not really . eric : you saved jennifer 's life , do n't you remember ? nicole : well , she saved mine . and i still ca n't believe i grabbed that gun and almost killed daniel . eric : hey , hey . he said he was fine . nicole : could you go check on him and make sure ? i 'm really scared it 's worse than what they 're saying . eric : yeah , sure . i 'll be right back . [ door closes ] nicole : liam . all right . where is that damn picture ? oh , god . it 's gone now . maybe not . [ cracking phone ] nicole : [ exhales ] [ taps phone ] okay , definitely gone . now if i just knew what liam did with the real letter . daniel : well , theresa suspected liam for some time now , but she kept it to herself . theresa : because i did n't have any proof . daniel : but today , she finally told us what she knew , which is why eric and i headed out to smith island . brady : and hope was n't far behind . she had broken into liam 's room and realized what was going on . jennifer : yeah . i - i thought liam had me trapped out there , and ... then nicole showed up and then you . theresa : all i know is the guy was a creep , okay ? i 'm surprised you did n't pick up on that yourself . i mean , for god 's sakes , you dated him . so what happened ? is liam in jail ? daniel : liam did n't survive . he and i fought , he pulled himself free , and he fell onto a sharp branch , and he died . theresa : [ sighs ] well , good . look , the guy was out there trying to kill people , right ? i 'm just saying he got what he deserved . abigail : mom ! maggie : daniel ! jennifer : my baby . maggie : what happened ? abigail : oh , my god . jennifer : mm . jj : hey , i never said that it was n't fun hanging out with you . it was , definitely . paige : then why not see where things go ? why cut me out like that ? jj : well -- i do n't -- i do n't know . i do n't -- paige : forget it . you just needed an excuse to dump me . and you got it . i just wish you 'd been up front with me . jj : no , paige , i did n't -- bev : so sorry to interrupt , guys , but , jj , you got a missed call and text from your mom . jj : what ? bev : well , i just figured you should call her back or something , so she does n't worry about you . how are you , paige ? paige : fine , thanks . jj : oh , no freaking way . abigail : oh , my god , i remember now , mom . liam came by the house once when you were n't there , and jj said that he was acting weird , but i did n't even pick up on it . i should 've paid more attention . then i could 've at least warned you . jennifer : honey , this is hardly your fault . liam is really good at fooling people . abigail : god , you must have been so scared , mom . you were out there all alone . jennifer : i was pretty scared . and if it were n't for nicole and then daniel , i would n't even be here . abigail : god , mom . i 'm so glad you 're okay . thank god . i do n't know what i would 've done if i lost you . i love you . jennifer : i love you , baby . but listen , it 's okay . everything 's okay now . abigail : yeah . [ indistinct chatter ] maggie : i still ca n't believe that theresa did n't say something earlier or nicole . daniel : well , they had no proof , and the main thing is , we made it , we 're fine . maggie : well , i 'm still not . i just ca n't believe that -- daniel : [ groans ] maggie : oh . uh - oh . uh - oh . are you hurt ? daniel : okay , do n't be upset . but i had a little run - in with a bullet tonight . maggie : what ? nicole : maggie ... it 's -- it 's my fault . daniel and liam were fighting . liam had a gun . daniel knocked it out of his hand . of course i wanted to help , so i picked it up , and i pointed it at them . daniel : and the bullet grazed me . maggie : you shot my son ? daniel : okay , mom , you see me standing right here . they checked me out . i 'm fine . i 'm fine . nicole : i 'm sorry . daniel , i know you keep telling me to stop apologizing , but i ca n't . i feel awful . i never wanted to hurt you . you mean so much to me . daniel : okay , nicole , listen to me . you are about the best friend anybody could ask for , you hear me ? there 's no way you tried to hurt me . you have to let that go , okay ? i do want to ask you one favor , though . nicole : what ? daniel : yeah , could you have rafe take you down to the shooting range , so you can practice your aim ? [ laughter ] nicole : well , at least you 're not mad at me . hope : hey , guys . brady : hope . hope : hey , brady . brady : hey , any news ? hope : well , so far , forensics has managed to do a complete search of liam 's belongings -- everything he had on him plus what was in his apartment , and they found a few , well , let 's just say very interesting things . trying to stay fit but miss real pleasure ? brady : hope , did any of the evidence they found point to liam possibly having an accomplice ? hope : there 's plenty to link him to the drugs , stalking jennifer , but it looks like he was acting alone . there was a slew of recordings on his laptop . jenn , i 'm sorry to have to tell you this , but he did n't just bug daniel 's apartment . he had listening devices in your place too . abigail : oh , my god . jennifer : what ? hope : there is one thing we did find in frazer 's possessions that was absolutely incriminating -- it was a key . on a hunch , i tested it . it went to your apartment , daniel . daniel : well , that figures . that 's why i ordered my locks changed . but i ca n't just -- i ca n't fathom how he got his hands on the key , though . liam : what 's that ? theresa : key to dr. dan 's apartment . hope : i have forensics checking it for prints . we might still get lucky . nicole : and that 's it ? nothing else ? no paper trail ? hope : nope , that 's it . no , that 's it . daniel : all right , well , then , you know what ? i think we should get out of here and go home . do you need anything else from us ? hope : no , no . if i need to follow up , i 'll call you . theresa : hey , hey , hey . before everyone leaves , there 's something i have to say . paige : what 's wrong ? bev : jj ? jj : it 's -- i 'm not sure yet . but i think everything 's okay . it 's just so -- bev , i 've got ta go . bev : yeah , sure , it 's fine . we can meet up tomorrow or the next day . just do what you got ta do . go . jj : right , i 'll see you . paige : the rest is for you . thanks . bev : hang on a second . we 're gon na get something straight . theresa : [ sighs ] jennifer , i 'm -- i 'm really sorry that i did n't tell anyone about liam sooner . maybe this whole thing could 've been avoided . well , actually i did try to tell daniel . but ... i should 've tried harder , no matter how nasty he was being . i just hope that you can find a way to forgive me . thanks . well , at least now everyone knows that i was n't the one who was trying to hurt you and daniel . really is terrible , being accused of something you did n't do . jennifer : theresa , i owe you an apology . i did n't mean to blame you , and i am sorry . theresa : okay , well , it 's over and done with . brady : why do n't i take you home , all right ? theresa : sure . nicole : see you later , guys . abigail : you do n't really trust her now , do you ? jennifer : no , i do n't . but i do n't want to think about her right now because starting tomorrow morning , i want to make sure that daniel 's name is cleared and everyone in this hospital knows exactly what happened . because the sooner he is performing surgery again , the better . maggie : absolutely . daniel : well , i can live with that . maggie : [ laughs ] jennifer : and ... i want to thank you again . nicole : i should be thanking you . jennifer : mm - mm . no . you are a great friend to both of us . eric : yeah , she 's an angel . bev : jj and i are really close . and , sure , okay , when a pretty , little thing walks by , he 's got eyes . might even give her , like , 15 minutes . but then he comes home to me because i give him something other girls ca n't or wo n't . now , whatever you had going on with jj is obviously over , so it 's time for you to leave him alone . if you do n't , you will be sorry . paige : [ scoffs ] jennifer : mm . jj : so you 're okay ? you were n't hurt or anything ? abigail : aside from almost dying , you mean ? jj : well , i came as soon as i read the text . abigail : yeah , but you sure took your sweet time . what took you so long ? what were you doing ? jennifer : no , never mind . you 're here , okay . we 're all here . i am so happy to be with both of you right now . daniel : okay , chloe , chloe , everything is fine . i 'm fine . yeah . no , we 'll get into it more tomorrow . yes , i will call you first thing in the morning . i miss hearing his little voice . all right , okay . bye . jj : hey , man . from what i hear , we all owe you big - time . daniel : yeah ? yeah ? well , do n't think i wo n't collect , pal .

no , sweetheart . that stuff 's right here . nicole : um ... can we talk about this later ? eric : yeah . yeah , yeah . understood . you 're still upset ? nicole : you know what i do need ? i need my purse , and i left it back at the cabin . eric : okay , do n't move . i 'll get it . nicole : okay . hope : what are you doing ? nicole ? jj : so how many letters have you gotten so far ? bev : [ laughs ] just one . salem u. i mean , they probably would 've turned me down . my grades are , like , nonexistent , but my dad pulled some strings , so i 'm in . jj : good , good . i got my acceptance letter today . bev : really ? jj : mm - hmm . bev : that is great . jj : yeah . yeah , it is . you know , especially since i spent so many years in london at that boarding school . bev : i get it . stick close to home . jj : right , yeah . i 'm just sort of reconnecting with my family , you know . bev : sure . hey , rory -- he got wait - listed . i mean , if he gets in , we could be like the three musketeers again . except we 'd only have , like , three or four classes instead of high school . jj : well , i think the classes will be a little harder , bev . bev : no , seriously , we can just skate through . you buy your papers online , and when it comes to taking tests , you go to this website where , like , everyone has -- nicole : what am i doing ? i - i -- i thought liam moved . hope : you thought he 'd come back to life ? nicole : well , i 'm not an expert on dead bodies , okay ? but he 's still dead . hope : this is a crime scene . do n't touch anything . nicole : yeah , sure . hope : okay , can i get your statement now ? nicole : mm - hmm , i guess . hope : why 'd you come up to smith island ? nicole : why did i -- for the same reason as everyone else . i was worried about jenn . daniel : you knew about liam ? that he was a threat ? nicole : uh ... yeah . daniel : well , how did you know that ? i mean before anybody else did ? theresa : you 're never gon na believe that i 'm telling the truth , so you can just leave now . brady : i do n't want to leave . i 'm not trying to judge you . theresa : i 've already told you , i did n't do anything wrong , okay ? look , yes . i could 've told daniel about liam sooner , and i tried . but he did n't make it easy . i mean , he treated me like i was a lying piece of garbage , kind of like you 've been doing this whole night . brady : all i 've done is ask you to tell me the truth . that 's it . theresa : yeah , over and over and over again , when really , i 'm not involved . [ cell phone trills ] brady : the police found liam frazer . i guess it 's all gon na come out now . nicole : well , um ... i ran into liam a few times , you know . and ... i -- well , you know , he -- oh , thank you . thank you for this . look , can we just all go down to the docks or something ? hope : no , let 's just finish this first , okay ? did liam make any threats ? jennifer : nicole ... she was investigating him for her tv show , i 'm sure . nicole : right , yes . jennifer : i mean , she 'd even talked to his ex - wife . nicole : yeah . debra . it seems that liam was dumped by the love of his life , and he spent the rest of his life trying to find a replacement . and i guess debra looked a lot like his old flame . and then he got weird , and she divorced him . and then debra told me that jennifer looked exactly like his ex . hope : why did n't you call the police ? nicole : well , 'cause i just started piecing everything together . and i talked to maggie , and she said jenn was already on her way , and i tried calling her , and i swear i heard liam 's voice in the background . hope : then you should 've called the police . nicole : well , i tried to , but then i was already on the ferry over here , and i had lousy reception . daniel : okay , well , thank god she made it out . if she had n't come -- jennifer : yes , we would n't even be having this discussion . hope : yeah , it 's great that you came , but i 'm still a little lost here . why 'd you suspect liam enough ? i mean , what -- why ? nicole : let 's put it this way . i know there 's no way that daniel would use drugs . so who do i run into in the elevator at daniel 's apartment ? liam . and he tells me some story that he has some secret affair going on with another doctor in the building . so i checked the story out , right ? totally bogus . hope : so you saw liam by daniel 's apartment , and you discovered that his alibi was a lie , and it still never dawned on you to call the police ? daniel : okay , just take it easy . she did n't have any proof . i mean , a reporter has to be careful about lawsuits . detective , the medevac 's coming in , and forensics is 15 minutes out . hope : okay , great . thanks . that 's it for now . the chopper will land by the dock . you guys head that way . nicole , we 'll finish later . nicole : okay . jennifer : come on . let 's go . eric : hey . do n't worry . he 's not gon na hurt you anymore . want a fiber that 's clearly healthy ? bev : hey , if you want to go somewhere else , i am totally down for that . jj : um -- no . no , no . we 're good . my cousin sonny owns this place , so , you know , support the family . bev : right . got it . do you think he could at least slip us some booze ? jj : um , you know , i do n't think sonny 's working today . and i would n't ask anyway 'cause he has a license to protect , you know . but if you 're thirsty , i can -- i can get us some sodas . bev : no , no , i 'm fine . i - i -- jj : well , you know , you know , no , actually i want one . so i 'll be right back . paige : [ sighs ] i do n't get it , jj . jj : what ? paige : why are you so mad at me ? everything was great with us . then i tell you i 'm going to stanford this fall , and you get all weird . jj : i 'm not mad or weird . paige : could 've fooled me . i mean , it 's not like i kept it secret . as soon as i found out i made it off the wait list , i told you . why 'd you blow up ? jj : i - i did n't . okay , here 's how i see it , okay ? i mean , why put a whole lot of time into getting to know someone when she 's just going to disappear in the next few months , seriously ? and if there 's no future , then just move on . paige : so you 're just not gon na talk to me ? jj : no , of course . it 's -- i mean , we 're cool . paige : yeah . right . you know what really sucks ? i had fun when i was with you . when we got together , it meant something ... to me . obviously not to you . abigail : oh , it 's my mom . finally . there you are . we 've been trying to get ahold of you . what ? right . okay , yeah , we 'll be right there . maggie : what happened ? abigail : okay , i do n't want you to get upset , but everyone is all right . maggie : okay . abigail : but we have to go to the hospital . maggie : oh . that does n't sound good . daniel : ah , hey , there . jennifer : hey . what 'd they say ? daniel : well , 14 stitches , antibiotic regimen ... jennifer : what ? daniel : bandage , and a new scar , new shirt . got it out of my locker . how was your checkup ? jennifer : it was great . i just have a couple of bruises . but i think nicole 's gon na need some x - rays . daniel : yeah . jennifer : thank god you 're okay . i mean , when i heard that gun go off and i saw you lying there bleeding -- daniel : hey , hey . when i got out to the island and i saw your cabin a mess , i went out of my mind . jennifer : i still ca n't figure out how you knew i was in trouble . i mean , how did you know it was liam ? eric : i wish you would 've told me you suspected liam frazer . i mean , i was never sold on the idea that you thought theresa was the one who drugged daniel , but still . nicole : okay , but next time , you 'll be the first to know , okay ? eric : good , 'cause i 'm gon na hold you to it . you know , people never really give you the credit you deserve , always helping your friends , totally being selfless . nicole : no , no . not -- not really . eric : you saved jennifer 's life , do n't you remember ? nicole : well , she saved mine . and i still ca n't believe i grabbed that gun and almost killed daniel . eric : hey , hey . he said he was fine . nicole : could you go check on him and make sure ? i 'm really scared it 's worse than what they 're saying . eric : yeah , sure . i 'll be right back . [ door closes ] nicole : liam . all right . where is that damn picture ? oh , god . it 's gone now . maybe not . [ cracking phone ] nicole : [ exhales ] [ taps phone ] okay , definitely gone . now if i just knew what liam did with the real letter . daniel : well , theresa suspected liam for some time now , but she kept it to herself . theresa : because i did n't have any proof . daniel : but today , she finally told us what she knew , which is why eric and i headed out to smith island . brady : and hope was n't far behind . she had broken into liam 's room and realized what was going on . jennifer : yeah . i - i thought liam had me trapped out there , and ... then nicole showed up and then you . theresa : all i know is the guy was a creep , okay ? i 'm surprised you did n't pick up on that yourself . i mean , for god 's sakes , you dated him . so what happened ? is liam in jail ? daniel : liam did n't survive . he and i fought , he pulled himself free , and he fell onto a sharp branch , and he died . theresa : [ sighs ] well , good . look , the guy was out there trying to kill people , right ? i 'm just saying he got what he deserved . abigail : mom ! maggie : daniel ! jennifer : my baby . maggie : what happened ? abigail : oh , my god . jennifer : mm . jj : hey , i never said that it was n't fun hanging out with you . it was , definitely . paige : then why not see where things go ? why cut me out like that ? jj : well -- i do n't -- i do n't know . i do n't -- paige : forget it . you just needed an excuse to dump me . and you got it . i just wish you 'd been up front with me . jj : no , paige , i did n't -- bev : so sorry to interrupt , guys , but , jj , you got a missed call and text from your mom . jj : what ? bev : well , i just figured you should call her back or something , so she does n't worry about you . how are you , paige ? paige : fine , thanks . jj : oh , no freaking way . abigail : oh , my god , i remember now , mom . liam came by the house once when you were n't there , and jj said that he was acting weird , but i did n't even pick up on it . i should 've paid more attention . then i could 've at least warned you . jennifer : honey , this is hardly your fault . liam is really good at fooling people . abigail : god , you must have been so scared , mom . you were out there all alone . jennifer : i was pretty scared . and if it were n't for nicole and then daniel , i would n't even be here . abigail : god , mom . i 'm so glad you 're okay . thank god . i do n't know what i would 've done if i lost you . i love you . jennifer : i love you , baby . but listen , it 's okay . everything 's okay now . abigail : yeah . [ indistinct chatter ] maggie : i still ca n't believe that theresa did n't say something earlier or nicole . daniel : well , they had no proof , and the main thing is , we made it , we 're fine . maggie : well , i 'm still not . i just ca n't believe that -- daniel : [ groans ] maggie : oh . uh - oh . uh - oh . are you hurt ? daniel : okay , do n't be upset . but i had a little run - in with a bullet tonight . maggie : what ? nicole : maggie ... it 's -- it 's my fault . daniel and liam were fighting . liam had a gun . daniel knocked it out of his hand . of course i wanted to help , so i picked it up , and i pointed it at them . daniel : and the bullet grazed me . maggie : you shot my son ? daniel : okay , mom , you see me standing right here . they checked me out . i 'm fine . i 'm fine . nicole : i 'm sorry . daniel , i know you keep telling me to stop apologizing , but i ca n't . i feel awful . i never wanted to hurt you . you mean so much to me . daniel : okay , nicole , listen to me . you are about the best friend anybody could ask for , you hear me ? there 's no way you tried to hurt me . you have to let that go , okay ? i do want to ask you one favor , though . nicole : what ? daniel : yeah , could you have rafe take you down to the shooting range , so you can practice your aim ? [ laughter ] nicole : well , at least you 're not mad at me . hope : hey , guys . brady : hope . hope : hey , brady . brady : hey , any news ? hope : well , so far , forensics has managed to do a complete search of liam 's belongings -- everything he had on him plus what was in his apartment , and they found a few , well , let 's just say very interesting things . trying to stay fit but miss real pleasure ? brady : hope , did any of the evidence they found point to liam possibly having an accomplice ? hope : there 's plenty to link him to the drugs , stalking jennifer , but it looks like he was acting alone . there was a slew of recordings on his laptop . jenn , i 'm sorry to have to tell you this , but he did n't just bug daniel 's apartment . he had listening devices in your place too . abigail : oh , my god . jennifer : what ? hope : there is one thing we did find in frazer 's possessions that was absolutely incriminating -- it was a key . on a hunch , i tested it . it went to your apartment , daniel . daniel : well , that figures . that 's why i ordered my locks changed . but i ca n't just -- i ca n't fathom how he got his hands on the key , though . liam : what 's that ? theresa : key to dr. dan 's apartment . hope : i have forensics checking it for prints . we might still get lucky . nicole : and that 's it ? nothing else ? no paper trail ? hope : nope , that 's it . no , that 's it . daniel : all right , well , then , you know what ? i think we should get out of here and go home . do you need anything else from us ? hope : no , no . if i need to follow up , i 'll call you . theresa : hey , hey , hey . before everyone leaves , there 's something i have to say . paige : what 's wrong ? bev : jj ? jj : it 's -- i 'm not sure yet . but i think everything 's okay . it 's just so -- bev , i 've got ta go . bev : yeah , sure , it 's fine . we can meet up tomorrow or the next day . just do what you got ta do . go . jj : right , i 'll see you . paige : the rest is for you . thanks . bev : hang on a second . we 're gon na get something straight . theresa : [ sighs ] jennifer , i 'm -- i 'm really sorry that i did n't tell anyone about liam sooner . maybe this whole thing could 've been avoided . well , actually i did try to tell daniel . but ... i should 've tried harder , no matter how nasty he was being . i just hope that you can find a way to forgive me . thanks . well , at least now everyone knows that i was n't the one who was trying to hurt you and daniel . really is terrible , being accused of something you did n't do . jennifer : theresa , i owe you an apology . i did n't mean to blame you , and i am sorry . theresa : okay , well , it 's over and done with . brady : why do n't i take you home , all right ? theresa : sure . nicole : see you later , guys . abigail : you do n't really trust her now , do you ? jennifer : no , i do n't . but i do n't want to think about her right now because starting tomorrow morning , i want to make sure that daniel 's name is cleared and everyone in this hospital knows exactly what happened . because the sooner he is performing surgery again , the better . maggie : absolutely . daniel : well , i can live with that . maggie : [ laughs ] jennifer : and ... i want to thank you again . nicole : i should be thanking you . jennifer : mm - mm . no . you are a great friend to both of us . eric : yeah , she 's an angel . bev : jj and i are really close . and , sure , okay , when a pretty , little thing walks by , he 's got eyes . might even give her , like , 15 minutes . but then he comes home to me because i give him something other girls ca n't or wo n't . now , whatever you had going on with jj is obviously over , so it 's time for you to leave him alone . if you do n't , you will be sorry . paige : [ scoffs ] jennifer : mm . jj : so you 're okay ? you were n't hurt or anything ? abigail : aside from almost dying , you mean ? jj : well , i came as soon as i read the text . abigail : yeah , but you sure took your sweet time . what took you so long ? what were you doing ? jennifer : no , never mind . you 're here , okay . we 're all here . i am so happy to be with both of you right now . daniel : okay , chloe , chloe , everything is fine . i 'm fine . yeah . no , we 'll get into it more tomorrow . yes , i will call you first thing in the morning . i miss hearing his little voice . all right , okay . bye . jj : hey , man . from what i hear , we all owe you big - time . daniel : yeah ? yeah ? well , do n't think i wo n't collect , pal .

's own good . if you love somebody , you do n't just stand by and watch them doing something wrong . that 's bad for their soul . and mine , too , my soul , too , if i just watch and do n't do anything . jamie : can i ask you a question ? stuart : yeah . jamie : how does babe seem to you lately ? stuart : well , she 's just babe , always trying to turn everybody 's lemons into lemon meringue pie , like always . jamie : you do n't see anything different about her ? stuart : well , she 's been through a tough time lately . j.r. was -- well , treated her very badly . but deep down inside , no , i do n't see anything different . that 's not the answer you wanted , is it ? jamie : it 's just i ca n't figure her out lately . stuart : yeah . people have always had a hard time figuring me out , too , because they think i do everything backwards . and maybe i do , but it always makes sense to me . but she 's kind of like that , you know ? she does n't do anything in a straight line . she does n't live in a straight line . she sometimes -- she forgets where she 's going and makes mistakes , like marrying j.r. before her other marriage was over . she did n't mean any harm . she just loved j.r. so much , she could n't wait . but her heart 's always in the right place . jamie : here you go . how can you be sure ? stuart : because i look for the good first . and sometimes that 's hard to find . sometimes you need x - ray vision to even know it 's there . but not babe . her good just glows . she 'd never hurt anybody on purpose . jamie : see , that 's exactly it . that 's the way i always felt about her . i just needed a reality check from one of the most real guys i know . stuart : well , take my word for it , whatever mistakes babe makes , she makes them out of love , one way or another . jamie : yeah . so who is it that she loves that much ? [ scene_break ] babe : do you think they 're taking good care of my baby ? david : ace ? what brought that on ? babe : well , it 's just that infants are hard to care for . they take a lot of work to make sure that they 're happy and healthy . they 're totally high- maintenance , and at this age that ace and bess are , they 're completely dependent on adults . i know that i would absolutely move mountains to do anything for bess , but how do i know that somebody 's doing the same for ace ? david : well , he does have kevin buchanan . babe : yeah , and it 's obvious that kevin loves him , but kevin 's out campaigning and raising money and kissing other people 's babies . how much time is he really spending with my little boy ? david : babe , you saw ace . he 's doing great . babe : yeah . and the nanny , she seems nice , but it 's not the same as a mother 's love . you ca n't fake that . nobody could pay me to feel how i feel about bess . loving her , it 's so natural . it 's like breathing . and who 's doing that for ace ? maybe i should just go see him , just make sure he 's ok . david : babe , do n't even think it . first , we do n't have proof yet that this baby is yours . babe : i do n't need it . i do n't need some dumb test . i know the truth . he 's right there . he 's in llanview ! david : for heaven 's sake , stay away from llanview . babe , i get that you want to see him , but you have to be patient . babe : this is n't just for me , david . i want to make things right for bianca . no matter what happens , she deserves to know the truth about bess . david : and nothing would make me happier than for things to work out for the two of you . babe : bianca 's going to get miranda back . what ? what , you think that maybe i 'm not going to get my little boy back , even with everything that we know ? david : i just want the proof in my hands , that 's all . babe : what if we do n't get it ? oh , god , what if this is my punishment for what i 've done to bianca ?

[ scene_break ] david : our first priority is to figure out a way to get miranda back where she belongs without incriminating ourselves . babe : i just want bianca to have her baby back . i do n't even care what happens to me . david : i know you mean that , but you 've got to think this through , babe . bianca 's not the problem here . j.r. is . no , if you or your mother or even i let on that we knew bess ' real identity even for five minutes and did nothing about it , j.r. would take that and he would run with it . he would use that to keep ace away from you , and get us thrown in jail in the process . now , we 're all co - conspirators in keeping bess under false circumstances , all right ? j.r. , he could paint us as criminals , and no one would care what our motives were . so you 've got to hang low . i 'll tell you , i 'll be damned if i 'm going to put that baby back in your arms only to see j.r. take him away again . babe : ok . so i 'll keep it quiet from bianca , but why ca n't i just go make sure ace is ok , go see him ? david : and you do n't think that kevin buchanan 's going to feel it 's suspicious that you 're hanging around all the time ? babe : he was really nice to me before . he even set up a play date with the babies . david : well , that 's really cozy , but what about when paul cramer sees you hanging around , buddying up to buchanan again ? i mean , paul 's already suspicious , babe . i mean , if he sees you hanging around that baby all over again , he 's going to know that you 're on to him . it 's just -- it 's too dangerous . babe : i 've handled paul before . david : babe , hear what i 'm saying to you . going to llanview is way too risky . now , first , we have to get proof positive that ace is yours . then we establish paternity . now , until those two things are in place , we can not make a move . babe : this is my baby , david . i need him , and he needs me . david : i know . i understand , and i 'm sorry , but we can not chance it . and if you want this to work out , no matter how hard it is , you 're just going to have to wait .

's not going to get away with anything like that again . you 've got my promise , and you know i 'll keep it . jamie : so babe got you to turn on him , too , huh ? stuart : oh , no , no , i 'd never turn on my nephew . i 'm doing this for j.r. 's own good . if you love somebody , you do n't just stand by and watch them doing something wrong . that 's bad for their soul . and mine , too , my soul , too , if i just watch and do n't do anything . jamie : can i ask you a question ? stuart : yeah . jamie : how does babe seem to you lately ? stuart : well , she 's just babe , always trying to turn everybody 's lemons into lemon meringue pie , like always . jamie : you do n't see anything different about her ? stuart : well , she 's been through a tough time lately . j.r. was -- well , treated her very badly . but deep down inside , no , i do n't see anything different . that 's not the answer you wanted , is it ? jamie : it 's just i ca n't figure her out lately . stuart : yeah . people have always had a hard time figuring me out , too , because they think i do everything backwards . and maybe i do , but it always makes sense to me . but she 's kind of like that , you know ? she does n't do anything in a straight line . she does n't live in a straight line . she sometimes -- she forgets where she 's going and makes mistakes , like marrying j.r. before her other marriage was over . she did n't mean any harm . she just loved j.r. so much , she could n't wait . but her heart 's always in the right place . jamie : here you go . how can you be sure ? stuart : because i look for the good first . and sometimes that 's hard to find . sometimes you need x - ray vision to even know it 's there . but not babe . her good just glows . she 'd never hurt anybody on purpose . jamie : see , that 's exactly it . that 's the way i always felt about her . i just needed a reality check from one of the most real guys i know . stuart : well , take my word for it , whatever mistakes babe makes , she makes them out of love , one way or another . jamie : yeah . so who is it that she loves that much ? [ scene_break ] babe : do you think they 're taking good care of my baby ? david : ace ? what brought that on ? babe : well , it 's just that infants are hard to care for . they take a lot of work to make sure that they 're happy and healthy . they 're totally high- maintenance , and at this age that ace and bess are , they 're completely dependent on adults . i know that i would absolutely move mountains to do anything for bess , but how do i know that somebody 's doing the same for ace ? david : well , he does have kevin buchanan . babe : yeah , and it 's obvious that kevin loves him , but kevin 's out campaigning and raising money and kissing other people 's babies . how much time is he really spending with my little boy ? david : babe , you saw ace . he 's doing great . babe : yeah . and the nanny , she seems nice , but it 's not the same as a mother 's love . you ca n't fake that . nobody could pay me to feel how i feel about bess . loving her , it 's so natural . it 's like breathing . and who 's doing that for ace ? maybe i should just go see him , just make sure he 's ok . david : babe , do n't even think it . first , we do n't have proof yet that this baby is yours . babe : i do n't need it . i do n't need some dumb test . i know the truth . he 's right there . he 's in llanview ! david : for heaven 's sake , stay away from llanview . babe , i get that you want to see him , but you have to be patient . babe : this is n't just for me , david . i want to make things right for bianca . no matter what happens , she deserves to know the truth about bess . david : and nothing would make me happier than for things to work out for the two of you . babe : bianca 's going to get miranda back . what ? what , you think that maybe i 'm not going to get my little boy back , even with everything that we know ? david : i just want the proof in my hands , that 's all . babe : what if we do n't get it ? oh , god , what if this is my punishment for what i 've done to bianca ? [ scene_break ] bianca : i 'm not going to go around accusing someone just because you say so . jonathan : you made your choice days ago -- you and your sister , both of you . you chose to side with a stranger over ryan . bianca : i did n't choose anything . i was going to walk away from ethan until the evidence just cleared him . why do n't you just let the police do their jobs ? jonathan : chief frye ? chief frye ? i need to talk to you , please . derek : we 're working on your brother 's shooting . we just do n't have anything new at this time . jonathan : that 's not good enough . derek : go spend time with him . watch a ballgame . have a few beers . just be grateful he survived . jonathan : yeah , you 'd like that , would n't you , and let your department off the hook ? what , it was n't murder , so it does n't matter , is that it ? what kind of bogus cop are you ? derek : you know what ? i 'm just going to assume that you 're overwrought . excuse me . maggie : hi . jonathan : oh , god , you 're here . maggie : thank god i was home . is everything ok ? jonathan : no , everything 's not ok . this place -- this place reeks . it 's like it 's one incompetent move after another . they let go of the guy who shot ryan . maggie : are you serious ? jonathan : can we get out of here , please ? my head 's about to explode , ok ? maggie : ok , let 's go . bianca : maggie . maggie : hi . bianca : could i talk to you for a second ? maggie : can you wait for me outside ? i 'll be there in a minute . jonathan : yeah . maggie : hi . what 's up ? bianca : how with jonathan are you ? maggie : i do n't know . why ? bianca , if you have something to say , say it now . [ scene_break ] tad : let me straighten you out , cupcake . by choosing to keep this big secret a secret from me , you 're intentionally placing yourself between a rock and an even bigger , harder rock , and i 'm thinking about something along the scale of everest here . krystal : i 'm thinking that you 're making a mountain out of a grain of sand , tad . tad : oh , really ? well , ok , here 's what i know . you refused to say yes to being mrs. tad martin , because you 're afraid i 'm going to find out about your big secret and start thinking bad things about you . but if you wo n't tell me what this big secret is , you 're not going to know whether i think bad things about you or not , and the problem is as long as there 's the remotest possibility that i might think something bad about you , you 're going to keep on saying no , or rather not yes to being mrs. tad martin , i 'm going to continue not to know why because you wo n't take the big step and just trust me . and you 're putting yourself in a no - win , or rather a lose - lose situation , and that 's a bad place to be , sweetheart . what , are you laughing because i amuse you or because you can finally admit that this thing , whatever it was , was n't worth the drama in the first place . it 's time for you to start believing in old thaddeus . krystal : all right ! all right , ok ? i hate no - win situations . all right , i 'll tell you . tad : only if you insist . krystal : that cotton swab is n't to fix my mascara or to clean out bess ' ears . it 's for a dna sample . tad : whose ? krystal : david 's . tad : what , he 's thinking about dumping more progeny on pine valley ? krystal : no , no . quite the opposite . tad : how 's that work ? krystal : well , it occurred to me the only test that we have that shows that david is babe 's father -- who did that test ? tad : he did . krystal : exactly . which means we only have his word that it 's accurate , and he ca n't be trusted . tad : uh - huh - huh . nobody ever accused you of being slow on the uptake . so you think that david was lying about being babe 's father from the get - go ? krystal : yeah . tad : well , what would he stand to gain from that ? krystal : think about it , tad . loneliness is a very powerful state of mind , right ? maybe -- maybe he saw this as a chance to replace that little girl that he lost and he decided to take it . tad : hmm . whoa . well , if that 's the case , then we 're just going to have to take it back , wo n't we , sweetheart ? [ scene_break ] david : our first priority is to figure out a way to get miranda back where she belongs without incriminating ourselves . babe : i just want bianca to have her baby back . i do n't even care what happens to me . david : i know you mean that , but you 've got to think this through , babe . bianca 's not the problem here . j.r. is . no , if you or your mother or even i let on that we knew bess ' real identity even for five minutes and did nothing about it , j.r. would take that and he would run with it . he would use that to keep ace away from you , and get us thrown in jail in the process . now , we 're all co - conspirators in keeping bess under false circumstances , all right ? j.r. , he could paint us as criminals , and no one would care what our motives were . so you 've got to hang low . i 'll tell you , i 'll be damned if i 'm going to put that baby back in your arms only to see j.r. take him away again . babe : ok . so i 'll keep it quiet from bianca , but why ca n't i just go make sure ace is ok , go see him ? david : and you do n't think that kevin buchanan 's going to feel it 's suspicious that you 're hanging around all the time ? babe : he was really nice to me before . he even set up a play date with the babies . david : well , that 's really cozy , but what about when paul cramer sees you hanging around , buddying up to buchanan again ? i mean , paul 's already suspicious , babe . i mean , if he sees you hanging around that baby all over again , he 's going to know that you 're on to him . it 's just -- it 's too dangerous . babe : i 've handled paul before . david : babe , hear what i 'm saying to you . going to llanview is way too risky . now , first , we have to get proof positive that ace is yours . then we establish paternity . now , until those two things are in place , we can not make a move . babe : this is my baby , david . i need him , and he needs me . david : i know . i understand , and i 'm sorry , but we can not chance it . and if you want this to work out , no matter how hard it is , you 're just going to have to wait . [ scene_break ] bianca : things have gotten pretty close with you and jonathan pretty fast , and -- i do n't know , it 's like we barely know him . maggie : you do n't know him . i do . what 's really going on , bianca ? is there something that you want to tell me ? i mean , why do n't you want me to be with him ? bianca : i just ca n't help but wondering why things have gotten so intense with you guys . i mean , it seems like you 're rushing into something with somebody that you barely know . why ? i know that sometimes it 's -- it 's hard being alone . maggie : i 'm not alone . i have jamie . i have other friends . i thought you were one of them . bianca : i am , maggie . i just think that there 's something about jonathan . maggie : yeah , he 's hot . and he 's a lavery . bianca : he 's on a mission . he wants to nail somebody for ryan 's shooting . maggie : his brother was just shot . he almost died . he has every right to want to blame someone . bianca : even if they 're innocent ? that is something that ryan would never do . maggie : well , i do n't blame him because i 've been there before . i know what it feels like , with my sister . bianca : maggie , this is different . it 's like he wanted to nail kendall as soon as he found out . he was absolutely sure that she had done it . maggie : she pointed a gun at him ! she pulled the trigger ! call me crazy , but i do n't think that 's unreasonable . bianca : well , it turns out he was wrong . i just do n't want you to get hurt . maggie : well , the most dangerous thing he 's ever done is fix me a drink at bj 's after hours . thank you , but i 'm fine . you have nothing to worry about . actually , things could n't be better . bianca : hi . babe : what are you doing here ? bianca : i came here looking for kendall . she had come with ethan , but i think i missed them . babe : it 's a sign . i know it is . bianca : it 's a sign ? a sign of what ? babe : running into you here . bianca , i need you to go somewhere with me . bianca : where ? babe : llanview . bianca : what 's in llanview ? babe : i got lost there the other night and i ended up there , and i ran into this guy , kevin buchanan . bianca : kevin buchanan , who 's running for lieutenant governor ? babe : yeah , and he was really nice and -- and he had the sweetest little boy . his name 's ace . but anyway , we -- we exchanged numbers for a play date , but then i lost the number . bianca : well , i 'm sure you can get it again . babe : well , the thing is it 's not listed in the phone book , so i thought , it 's such a beautiful drive , maybe that we could go down there together , and i could just show up where he works or where he lives and -- he was just a really nice guy . i just do n't want him to think that i dropped the ball or anything . bianca : and you need me to go with you ? babe : i want bess to go . and with everything that 's going on , i 'd sort of feel a lot better if you were there . so what do you say ? come on , maybe -- maybe bess and ace , they could have that play date together . would n't it be good for her ? bianca : sounds like a plan . let 's go . [ scene_break ] tad : come here . come here , sweetheart . you know , i hate to say i told you so , but -- krystal : but you will , anyway . tad : well , i warned you -- david is a bad guy . krystal : yeah . does n't deserve a daughter like babe , i know . tad : hmm . never , ever believe that anything he says remotely resembles the truth . krystal : i just do n't know what got into him . he was n't around for most of babe 's life , and now he 's trying to make up for lost time ? which would n't be so bad , except he 's such a control freak . tad : yeah , `` freak `` being the operative word in the sentence . krystal : we were just fine without a daddy in babe 's life . in fact , we were more than fine , you know , because neither one of us likes to be told what 's what . tad : i got that loud and clear . krystal : now he 's trying to snake his way into both of our lives . he actually tried to move into the chandler mansion to protect babe . huh , as if she 's not stressed out enough without daddy - come - lately making her crazy . i tell you , if i had known -- if i 'd known that it was going to come to this , i would have gone to my grave before letting on that david might be her daddy . tad : yeah , but now you think he might not be . krystal : exactly . which is why i need that cotton swab . if i can prove that he 's not related , then i can kick that rat out of our lives for good . tad : oh , where do i sign up for that ? krystal : you love being right , do n't you ? tad : well , it does n't suck . the only thing that confuses me now is i had no idea that david was driving you so crazy . i kind of got the feeling you two were sharing something . krystal : well , i had to pretend that i was grateful for his so - called support so he would n't catch on that i was suspicious . tad : hmm . krystal : who knows what he would have done to keep us in his grip . tad : like what ? krystal : i do n't know . you 're the one with all the genius insight .

victor : [ sighs ] you should n't be here . chloe : well , i am . bravo , victor . you pulled it off . you 're walking free and adam is locked up in your place . victor : i want those two journal pages . where are they ? i want them now . chloe : you just got out of prison . you should n't be worrying about the details . you should be having a nice steak with a hot woman . i mean , you got some tequila . that 's a good call . victor : listen to me . you 're in my territory now . you hold up your end of our bargain . i want those two pages . you got that ? chloe : why do you want those pages so badly ? that 's a rhetorical question . i mean , i know you want them to clear adam 's name . you know , it just makes you a lying liar , because you told me that you wanted him to suffer . so i said , `` please sign me up . `` and then you used me , all that talk about dee dee . victor : keep your voice down now . chloe : good for you , victor . you 're free . but i am going to make sure that adam serves every single day of that 30 years . victor : you 're playing a very dangerous game , girl . i want those pages . chloe : you keep on talking about the pages . i mean , i told you i was gon na burn them . victor : shh , shh , shh , shh , shh , shh , shh . what do you mean , you 're gon na burn them ? what the hell are you talking about ? it 's a bluff . chloe : well , it was . and then it was n't . because i burned the pages . victor : you did what ? michael : there were some surprises , but at the end -- adam : he just let him go . judge gates just let him go right now . and then my father 's at home and he 's just enjoying his life . he 's free as a bird . he 's reveling in it . and i 'm stuck in here , right ? we got to prove that he set me up , michael , all right ? we got to find those pages , and he 'll be back in here where he belongs , and i 'll be free ! michael : you know what ? i appreciate your determination . and , as always , i need you to know what we 're up against . now , victor clearly did a good job of hiding these pages . natalie and kevin have used their not - inconsiderable brain power to try to locate the evidence , but they have nothing . we need a cohort , the forger , something -- adam : no , or , you know , victor could just admit that he set me up , tell us who he 's working with . michael : well , you know , that does n't seem likely because he would have to implicate himself . [ clears throat ] and the truth is , adam , we may never find those pages . adam : that is not what i want to hear you say , all right ? not right now . i 'm not gon na rot in here ! michael , my family needs me ! anita : baby , i just heard the news . victor 's out roaming the streets . [ scoffs ] does adam know ? chelsea : it 's awful , mom . he 's already shutting down . he told me he does n't want me to bring connor to visit him . what am i supposed to tell my son ? `` daddy does n't want to see you `` ? anita : no ! no , that 's not it . he wants to see connor . he just does n't want connor to see him in there . and can you even blame him , trying to explain why he ca n't go home with mommy and connor ? chelsea : what am i supposed to tell my son , though , mom ? anita : well , we 'll just think of a cover story . that 's what we 're gon na do . daddy went away for business for -- for 30 years . chelsea : no , i 'm not lying to connor . it just teaches him that he ca n't trust the things i say . i have to tell him the truth . i have to tell him daddy has been framed and daddy is a loving , kind , amazing man who is innocent . anita : okay , kiddo . i know you 're in love . but let 's not go crazy here . adam is not innocent ! and connor is gon na know that the minute he figures out the internet ! okay , so he did n't murder old lady bingham , but he did plenty enough to land his butt in jail ! chelsea : do not speak that way about adam . he 's still my husband . anita : and i 'm your mother . and i 'm just telling you the truth . 30 years is a long time to be alone , chelsea ! chelsea : it 's not -- i 've been telling you , mom ! it 's not gon na be 30 years ! it 's not ! i - i 'm gon na find this evidence to clear adam 's name , and then he will be home . he will be back with me and connor in this room where he belongs , okay ? and then you 'll do your thing . you 'll fawn all over him , and then you 'll lie and say you had faith in him and in us the entire time . i can see it happening already . you know what you are ? you are a hypocrite . anita : listen , you . i 'm on your side . do n't you see that ? do n't you get it ? i am your mother . we are family . chelsea : family . yeah . well , victor and adam are family . sometimes family tears you apart . victoria : [ sighs ] come on . one more . nick : mm , no , no . i think we 've celebrated dad 's freedom enough . victoria : it 's not for a toast . it 's liquid courage . if i 'm lucky , maybe i 'll be so hung over tomorrow that i wo n't know when dad fires me . nick : ah , there 's that bright - eyed optimism you 're famous for . victoria : i 'm a grown woman terrified that my daddy 's gon na be mad at me . how is this my life , nick ? nick : they named you victoria newman . you never had a chance . victoria : very helpful . i appreciate that . i 'm sure dad is plotting a dozen different ways in which to punish us right now . nick : look , vick , dad 's gon na do what dad 's gon na do , and whatever it is , we 'll deal with it . trust me -- morning 's gon na be here soon enough . victoria : no , it wo n't be . i 'm gon na be staring at the ceiling all night dreading sunrise . i 'm gon na go talk to him tonight . nick : hmm , no , no . that idea is just the worst . jack : billy is a grown man . he does n't need his mommy playing matchmaker between him and his ex - wife . jill : victoria is the only one that 's ever been able to get billy to grow up . jack : yes , and billy blew it up again , and here we are . you ca n't force them to be together any more than you can force him to make nice and work with cane . jill : i do n't want him to make nice ! i want him to remember that he hates to lose . i 'm trying to light a fire under his competitive instincts , okay ? maybe once he claws his way to what he wants , he 'll be ready to do the same thing with the woman he loves . billy : want to hear you say it . i want to hear you say that you 're here to be with me , not to get back at jack . phyllis : you need proof i want you ? take me upstairs . i 'll give you all the proof you victor : for your sake and your other daughter 's sake , you better be bluffing . chloe : delia lived inside of my heart . and do you know what exists there now ? it is a white , burning hate for adam . so i took those damn pages , and i burned them , and now adam will pay for everything that he deserves . victor : what about your other daughter ? i had her taken care of . that was our agreement . i have the ability to take her away , as well . chloe : yeah , go ahead . you try and take bella away from me , and i will tell every single person that you hired me to frame adam . i mean , how many laws did we break together ? um , uh , too many to count . and all of this ? all of this will go away for good . no one can hurt me , victor , not even you . victor : you have overstayed your welcome , okay ? nikki : victor , dinner 's ready ! chloe : oh ! you know what ? i 'm starving . should we just have a nice homecoming dinner ? victor : get out . now . get out . nikki : victor , who are you talking to ? michael : we 're fine . my client had a very emotional visit from his wife , but he 's under control now . you have my word . adam : all good . michael : you want to get written up already ? adam : i 'd like to kick the walls down and get out of here is what i 'd like to do . michael : yeah , well , as your lawyer , i would suggest that that would not work . day at a time . yeah , i know . it sounds impossible . but right now , you do n't have any other options . adam : just tough it out , right ? chelsea said she wanted to bring connor by . michael : and you said never . and that did n't go well . adam : you 've spoken to her ? michael : hmm . i 've sat in this chair . i 've sat in that one . you do what you have to to survive -- emotionally , mentally , physically . to see your son , to have him see you -- adam : i 'm not gon na let him see me like this . michael : i understand that . adam : look at me . michael : i understand that . but chelsea only sees connor 's confusion . and she -- she wants to fix it . she wants to fix your confusion . adam : why do n't you fix it ? you 're the one who can help me . figure out a way , michael . find those pages . get me out of here , man . i 'm begging you . nick : look , dad just got home , all right ? let 's give him a little time to get settled in , at least for mom 's sake . you know , they could use some time alone . with any luck , tomorrow morning dad will be focused on newman enterprises and not us . victoria : is that what you expect or just what you hope ? in court , you said that you wanted to fix things with dad , and that 's great . but what if he was behind the oil spills ? maybe he 's trying to see how we would handle things . and he 'll say that we failed . nick : newman enterprises is still afloat . we did not fail . victoria : what if luca gets to dad and tells him that i was n't around and that he had to fill in ? nick : so what ? you 're gon na get to dad before luca does ? dad knows luca is full of it . we ca n't go around scrambling for dad 's approval . that 'll look weak . dad hates weakness . victoria : yeah , but he also hates excessive confidence . nick : true . so basically we can never win with him . victoria : the question is , what dad are we getting ? the loving and protective father [ sighs ] or the wrathful one ? nick : impossible to predict , so we stay hopeful but wary . victoria : then we do n't predict . we go right now . nick : no , no . sit down . victoria : i will go without you if i have to . nick : [ sighs ] well , you know i 'm never gon na let you do that alone 'cause i 'm a sucker , so let 's go . hey . jack : there was a time i thought billy and victoria had a chance to put things back together . they have tried time and again . they make each other miserable , jill . jill : ah . look at that lonely , unmarried woman . does she look happy and content to you ? jack : her father just got out of prison . i 'm sure she has more on her mind than just romance . jill : you know , billy used to be victoria 's support system against victor , which she sorely needs . and victoria was billy 's common sense , which obviously he needs . the truth is , the two of them are better together . they 're just too stubborn to admit it . jack : if he figures out what you are up to , he is going to run in the other direction . and god knows how badly he 's gon na spin out this time . jill : as far as i 'm concerned , things could n't get any worse . > > you 're every fruit on the vine intoxicating , so sublime oh , oh , oh you 're the ecstasy i 'm searching for you 're the fire burning through my core you 're my ecstasy and so much michael : i 'll make a deal with you . i will go to dylan . i will appeal to him to redouble his efforts to find the woman who met with victor , the missing journal pages , whatever it takes to prove that you were set up . but you have to promise me something in return . adam : anything . michael : stop punishing yourself for being in here . adam : i 'm not punishing myself . this is victor 's doing . i know that . michael : no , no , no , no . you know that intellectually . but every time you push chelsea away , you 're beating up on yourself , not victor . know who the real enemy is here . adam : the real enemy is victor . and right now , he 's at home at the ranch enjoying it , enjoying his maids and his -- and his -- and his home - cooked meals and his tequila and his ... family . i 'm stuck in here . you know , it makes me miss the days when sharon set that place on fire . makes me want to do the same , actually . michael : [ chuckles ] not quite the things you want to say within earshot of a guard . adam : i 'll be on my best behavior , all right ? you have my word . just get me out of here . michael : no one 's giving up on you . not me . [ chuckling ] and certainly not chelsea . anita : baby , you ca n't avoid the inevitable . that 's why it 's called the inevitable . chelsea : you really do n't think adam is coming home , do you ? anita : no . no , i do n't . and neither does the judge , and neither does the prison warden . chelsea : okay , you know what ? i ca n't be around this right now , mom . i ca n't be around this negativity . anita : it 's reality ! chelsea : adam and connor need positive thoughts . we need to work together as a family , to stick together . anita : okay , sweetie . whatever . fine , chelsea . chelsea : okay , do n't humor me . anita : no , i 'm not . i -- chelsea : do n't ! adam is coming home . and as for me , i 'm gon na go see my son and kiss him good night . you should go . anita : listen , you want to be mad at me , go ahead . be mad at me . you want to cry to me , that 's okay , too . but whatever you do , chelsea , do n't shut me out , because you can not do this alone . chelsea : you 're right , mom . i ca n't do this alone . that 's why i need adam to come back . anita : [ sighs ] phyllis : you still think i 'm here to get back at jack ? billy : if you are , good job . phyllis : [ chuckles ] billy : so what happens now ? you bolt for the door again ? say this is a mistake ? phyllis : no . it 's not a mistake . it 's incredibly selfish and incredibly dishonest , but it is not a mistake . you know , i realized tonight that jack is n't the man i married . that man would have cheered me on . he would never have let me go after victor on my own . he would have smashed that mustache right into the dust before i even said a word . this jack thinks everything is about revenge , and the old jack would have just called it justice , you know ? billy : it 's still all about jack . phyllis : that 's because he 's not you . you do n't treat me like i 'm damaged . billy : you 're not . phyllis : i 'm serious . you 're not trying to cure me . billy : you 're perfect ... in your fired up , brilliant , pissed off , sexy way . phyllis : [ chuckles ] we want the same things . including each other . billy : [ sighs ] victor : that was my assistant . i just wanted to make sure that she had all the necessary files on my desk in the morning . would you kindly tell celia i do n't feel like dinner tonight ? sit down , sweetheart . nikki : really ? victor : i 'd rather have a drink with my wife . nikki : your wife . still and always . i like that . victor : it was touch and go for a while , was n't it ? nikki : i do n't know . was it ? victor : yeah . it was . nikki : did you and i both know deep down that we would end up together like this ? victor : [ sighs ] nikki : so many times we 've filed divorce papers . i just ca n't picture my life without you in it . victor : why do we do this ? nikki : i do n't know . victor : why do we get into these fights ? do n't you think we 've reached an age where we should get over that ? nikki : you 'd think . victor : or is it so deeply ingrained ? nikki : [ chuckles ] victor : huh ? you know why we have these fights ? nikki : why ? victor : because we feel passionately about each other . that 's why . nikki : no one can deny that . so , what 's gon na happen tomorrow at the office ? victor : i do n't know . i 'm just out of prison . you want to talk about business ? nikki : [ chuckles ] i just want to make sure that you understand how hard the kids worked for newman . and it would be very important that they understand that you appreciate their hard work . nick : is that how it 's gon na go , dad ? victoria : before you answer , there 's a few things that you jack : focus on chancellor . take colin for a cruise . start a hostile takeover . leave billy and cane alone . jill : i do n't worry about cane . jack : has it ever occurred to you to just tell billy you want him to succeed and forget this puppet show , yanking his chain ? jill : of course i 've tried that , jack . jack : let billy live his life the way he sees he needs to . jill : you really love your brother , do n't you ? jack : yes , i do . and i have faith in him . can you say the same ? jill : [ scoffs ] how can you be all daffodils and sunshine when your own personal life is so -- jack : in flux . jill : well , it 's fluxed , all right . you know something ? phyllis better straighten out or some other woman 's gon na snap you up . jack : i 'm not interested in some other woman . phyllis is it for me . and deep down , i know she knows that . billy : there it is . phyllis : what ? [ laughs ] what 's what ? billy : that look . phyllis : hmm ? billy : the look in your eye i 've been waiting to see , that you 're here , that you 're all in . every other time you 've been holding back , but now i can see in your eyes that ... you 're here . phyllis : it 's gon na be so hard telling jack it 's really over . i do n't know what choice we have . we ca n't keep lying and hiding this way , you know ? i want this . i want you . and i want a life and a future and everything that comes with it . billy : no doubts ? phyllis : no doubts . i 've made so many mistakes in my life . i made so many . but this , you ... this is not one of them . nick : sorry if we 're interrupting . we wanted to see you tonight . hope you 've been celebrating . nikki : everything 's back to normal . it 's even better now that you 're here . we can have a real celebration . we have champagne and sparkling cider on ice , so let 's do a toast . victor : uh , you have something on your mind ? you want to tell me something ? victoria : yes , actually . um , i have -- these are the company actions regarding the oil spills , the press releases , and the transcripts , et cetera , et cetera . victor : okay , well , together we 'll sort out this mess . nick : it 's clear someone was trying to damage newman enterprises , but victoria would not let it happen . victoria : yes , well , that does n't answer the question -- who wants to see us fail ? adam : anita , what are you doing here ? is something wrong ? something happen to connor or chelsea ? anita : no , they 're fine . this is just me visiting you . oh , brings back memories . old boyfriends . adam : oh , oh . okay . well , you know , i 'm not -- i 'm not gon na be here very much longer anyway , so ... anita : yeah , i 've heard . chelsea 's all fired up about proving you 're innocent . adam : yeah . she will . the thought of going home to her , that 's -- that 's what keeps me going . anita : i hear you . the thing is ... what does that mean for chelsea , waiting alone at home for the next 30 years ? adam : that 's not gon na happen . i told you . i 'm not gon na be in here much longer anyway . anita : adam ... you 're a realist . and realistically speaking , you are stuck . and that means chelsea is stuck , too . i am watching my tough , little girl crack into a million pieces . [ voice breaking ] adam , i ca n't ... i ca n't watch her just shrivel up and wait for a day that 's never gon na come . [ sighs ] i 'm sorry . i just ... do you see what i 'm saying ? adam : you want me to let her go ? [ knock on door ] chelsea : [ sighs ] mom , i told you i do n't feel like talking about it anymore chelsea : chloe . chloe : how great is this ? oh ! reunited , and it feels so good ! i know . i 'm sorry . i should have called . but then i just thought that this would be so much more fun . so , surprise ! chelsea : i ca n't believe -- uh , when did you -- chloe : when did i get sprung from whackoland ? um , i did the work . it was hard . it was a lot . a lot of therapy . [ chuckles ] one on one , group , music therapy , art therapy , talk therapy . therapy , therapy , therapy . but then the doctor said that i was okay finally and ready to go back into the world . chelsea : good for you . um , when did you get back into town ? chloe : you 're my first stop . chelsea : you came here first . because of me or because of -- chloe : i 'm not here to cause any trouble with adam , if that 's what you 're asking . listen , i 'm never gon na forget what he did , but i 've learned that hate is toxic and it poisons the brain . it also makes you want to run down people with your car , which is illegal and generally not a very good idea . chelsea : well , i - i do understand the feeling . recently i was tempted to do something not so great to victor , so ... chloe : [ chuckles ] see ? we still have so much in common . chelsea : hurting victor 's not gon na bring adam back . chloe : back ? from where ? did he -- did he go somewhere ? chelsea : you have n't heard ? chloe : no . chelsea : adam is in prison . he was convicted for a murder , a murder that he did not commit . chloe : adam was punished for something that he did n't do ? [ laughing ] victor : you know , of course , i had nothing to do with those leaks . nikki : oh , they know that . it was never even a possibility . victor : is there anyone you think might have caused the sabotage ? victoria : luca santori has been on the list , but he was also very helpful in handling the fallout . victor : oh , yeah ? well , that 's why he probably caused it -- because he wanted to seem like a hero afterward . nick : it 's a fair point . summer believes in him , though . just when i thought she was done with him , she now thinks he is reformed . victor : oh , boy . i will talk to her tomorrow . i guess i 'm gon na have a busy schedule . [ doorbell rings ] nick : you expecting someone , mom ? nikki : no . nick : i 'll take care of it . victoria : those files include a proposal for further action . victor : thank you , sweetheart . i will deal with it in due time , okay ? victoria : how ? what 's the plan ? victor : we will discuss it tomorrow . victoria : we 're all here now , dad . i have a right to know what the plan is . jack : and hopefully that plan includes an end to victor 's feud with my wife . jill : billy ! [ laughs ] billy . are you and bethany having one for the road , honey ? ooh . that 's too upscale for that little ditz . who is she this time , son ? phyllis : i have to leave in a couple hours . billy : no , no , you can stay . phyllis : [ chuckles ] you 're not gon na get sick of me ? billy : we 'll play it by ear . phyllis : you love me . billy : so bad . phyllis : [ laughs ] billy : you have no idea . i do n't want you to leave . even if when you get back , i know that you 're gon na be here for good . phyllis : tomorrow i 'm gon na be free , and then there will be nothing that will be keeping you and i apart . jill : [ breathing heavily ] michael : i spoke with dylan . adam : and he 's gon na help us find the pages , right ? he 's gon na continue to look for them ? michael : officially this case is closed . you have been convicted . word has come down that the officers need to focus on other cases . adam : but he knows i did n't do this . he knows that . and those pages , they 're out there , michael . i 'm telling you . michael : unless they are n't . you 're forgetting victor is not incarcerated anymore . he can come and go as he pleases , which means he can hide these pages for as long as he wants -- if they have n't been destroyed already . adam : no , no , no , no , no . he did n't destroy anything . listen , that 's not how he works . his partner that he 's working with , something went wrong there , okay ? they 're not seeing eye to eye . michael : well , did he give you any indication that was the case ? listen to me . natalie and kevin have n't come up with any new information . until something changes , dylan has nothing to go on and he is not permitted to investigate further . adam : you said you were n't gon na give up on me , too . remember that ? you remember you said that to me ? michael : and i meant it . i 'm not giving up on you . there 's no way . look , we just ... we just have to face reality here . adam : i am facing reality , which is why i need one more thing from you . victor : i do n't think anyone invited you over , now did they , jack ? next time you come over , kindly make an appointment with my secretary . nick : you know , vick and i were just heading out . jack , why do n't you come with us ? jack : i 'll leave as soon as i 've had a chance to talk with your father . nikki : see ? your father 's not angry with you . victoria : uh , yeah , well , just because he 's not yelling does n't mean he 's not angry . nick : all right . vick , let 's go . jack , i know you 're not staying too long , right ? victoria : coming . victor : how dare you come here and defend your wife after she nearly ruined my appeal ? nikki : victor , jack has made it very clear he 's not interested in a war . victor : i 'm asking you again . what are you doing here ? you just said your piece in front of the judge . jack : i just counseled a friend to be up front and honest whenever it truly mattered . what matters to me is phyllis . and here 's the truth . she is scarred , deeply scarred , and your saving her from ian ward does n't undo the damage . victor : what 's your point ? jack : even if phyllis is n't ready to move on , you can be . call it a truce . walk away . this feud has gone on too long . victor : a truce only works if both parties agree . now , i have better things to do than discuss your wife . but for your information , if you think that she is not contemplating revenge , then you do n't know your wife . phyllis : i do n't want to go . billy : then stay . phyllis : no . i need some time alone to think about what i want to say to jack . and when you kiss me like that , i really ca n't think . billy : you already moved out . jack knows that things are n't right . tomorrow you 'll tell him that your marriage is broken and that there 's no way to fix it . phyllis : he 's -- he 's not gon na let go easily . billy : i do n't blame him . i know this is gon na hurt him . but in time , we 'll be together and be out in public , and he 'll see us and he 'll accept it . phyllis : he 's gon na accept that his ex - wife and his brother have fallen in love ? billy : well , maybe not accept it . does it change your decision ? phyllis : no . billy : i love you . i wish i could tell everybody i know , but i love jack . and i do n't want to hurt him unnecessarily . phyllis : this is gon na hurt him . billy : i know . and i 'm sorry . but you and me are necessary . we need each other . jack : you 're finally home with your wife , with your family . focus on them rather than giving me marital advice . [ cell phone rings ] nikki : please answer that , jack . and remember , i - i 'd like to be alone with my husband on his first night home . jack : i know you think you deserve her . i hope you 're right . this is jack . yeah . nikki : you almost make it sound like you 're not interested in revenge . victor : jack and phyllis abbott are hypocrites . nikki : what about the kids ? you holding a grudge against them ? victor : they did well by newman enterprises , you know ? but now i 'm back . nick : dad seemed ... calm . victoria : yeah , like a cobra about to attack its prey . nick : you know , dad is who he is , all right ? he 's either gon na freak out or he 's not . he 's either gon na make our lives a living hell or he 's not . victoria : adam 's in jail . we 're about to be fired . because , of course , at the end of the day , there can only be one newman standing when everything 's said and done . chelsea : this is n't funny . chloe : [ laughs ] chelsea : victor framed adam . no matter what you may think of my husband , he 's not capable of premeditated murder . chloe : i know what he 's capable of . chelsea : chloe . chloe : i mean , how did victor even frame him ? i heard that he 's in jail . chelsea : well , apparently he got out today . you know victor and his money . he can pay for whatever he wants , including some jerk who wants to frame an innocent man , and now adam is in jail . chloe : [ laughs ] chelsea : stop . this is n't funny . chloe , you ca n't come into my house and laugh about my family 's tragedy . think about my little boy . i know how you feel . i know that you hate adam . i 'm just asking you for a little bit of support right now . chloe : i 'm sorry . how -- how is connor ? chelsea : he 's sweet and perfect and innocent , and he 's wondering where his dad is . so what am i supposed to say to him ? [ voice breaking ] how am i supposed to tell him that he ca n't see his dad because there are vicious people out there in the world that want to hurt people , selfish people ?

[ clears throat ] and the truth is , adam , we may never find those pages . adam : that is not what i want to hear you say , all right ? not right now . i 'm not gon na rot in here ! michael , my family needs me ! anita : baby , i just heard the news . victor 's out roaming the streets . [ scoffs ] does adam know ? chelsea : it 's awful , mom . he 's already shutting down . he told me he does n't want me to bring connor to visit him . what am i supposed to tell my son ? `` daddy does n't want to see you `` ? anita : no ! no , that 's not it . he wants to see connor . he just does n't want connor to see him in there . and can you even blame him , trying to explain why he ca n't go home with mommy and connor ? chelsea : what am i supposed to tell my son , though , mom ? anita : well , we 'll just think of a cover story . that 's what we 're gon na do . daddy went away for business for -- for 30 years . chelsea : no , i 'm not lying to connor . it just teaches him that he ca n't trust the things i say . i have to tell him the truth . i have to tell him daddy has been framed and daddy is a loving , kind , amazing man who is innocent . anita : okay , kiddo . i know you 're in love . but let 's not go crazy here . adam is not innocent ! and connor is gon na know that the minute he figures out the internet ! okay , so he did n't murder old lady bingham , but he did plenty enough to land his butt in jail ! chelsea : do not speak that way about adam . he 's still my husband . anita : and i 'm your mother . and i 'm just telling you the truth . 30 years is a long time to be alone , chelsea ! chelsea : it 's not -- i 've been telling you , mom ! it 's not gon na be 30 years ! it 's not ! i - i 'm gon na find this evidence to clear adam 's name , and then he will be home . he will be back with me and connor in this room where he belongs , okay ? and then you 'll do your thing . you 'll fawn all over him , and then you 'll lie and say you had faith in him and in us the entire time . i can see it happening already . you know what you are ? you are a hypocrite . anita : listen , you . i 'm on your side . do n't you see that ? do n't you get it ? i am your mother . we are family . chelsea : family . yeah . well , victor and adam are family . sometimes family tears you apart . victoria : [ sighs ] come on . one more . nick : mm , no , no . i think we 've celebrated dad 's freedom enough . victoria : it 's not for a toast . it 's liquid courage . if i 'm lucky , maybe i 'll be so hung over tomorrow that i wo n't know when dad fires me . nick : ah , there 's that bright - eyed optimism you 're famous for . victoria : i 'm a grown woman terrified that my daddy 's gon na be mad at me . how is this my life , nick ? nick : they named you victoria newman . you never had a chance . victoria : very helpful . i appreciate that . i 'm sure dad is plotting a dozen different ways in which to punish us right now . nick : look , vick , dad 's gon na do what dad 's gon na do , and whatever it is , we 'll deal with it . trust me -- morning 's gon na be here soon enough . victoria : no , it wo n't be . i 'm gon na be staring at the ceiling all night dreading sunrise . i 'm gon na go talk to him tonight . nick : hmm , no , no . that idea is just the worst . jack : billy is a grown man . he does n't need his mommy playing matchmaker between him and his ex - wife . jill : victoria is the only one that 's ever been able to get billy to grow up . jack : yes , and billy blew it up again , and here we are . you ca n't force them to be together any more than you can force him to make nice and work with cane . jill : i do n't want him to make nice ! i want him to remember that he hates to lose . i 'm trying to light a fire under his competitive instincts , okay ? maybe once he claws his way to what he wants , he 'll be ready to do the same thing with the woman he loves . billy : want to hear you say it . i want to hear you say that you 're here to be with me , not to get back at jack . phyllis : you need proof i want you ? take me upstairs . i 'll give you all the proof you victor : for your sake and your other daughter 's sake , you better be bluffing . chloe : delia lived inside of my heart . and do you know what exists there now ? it is a white , burning hate for adam . so i took those damn pages , and i burned them , and now adam will pay for everything that he deserves . victor : what about your other daughter ? i had her taken care of . that was our agreement . i have the ability to take her away , as well . chloe : yeah , go ahead . you try and take bella away from me , and i will tell every single person that you hired me to frame adam . i mean , how many laws did we break together ? um , uh , too many to count . and all of this ? all of this will go away for good . no one can hurt me , victor , not even you . victor : you have overstayed your welcome , okay ? nikki : victor , dinner 's ready ! chloe : oh ! you know what ? i 'm starving . should we just have a nice homecoming dinner ? victor : get out . now . get out . nikki : victor , who are you talking to ? michael : we 're fine . my client had a very emotional visit from his wife , but he 's under control now . you have my word . adam : all good . michael : you want to get written up already ? adam : i 'd like to kick the walls down and get out of here is what i 'd like to do . michael : yeah , well , as your lawyer , i would suggest that that would not work . day at a time . yeah , i know . it sounds impossible . but right now , you do n't have any other options . adam : just tough it out , right ? chelsea said she wanted to bring connor by . michael : and you said never . and that did n't go well . adam : you 've spoken to her ? michael : hmm . i 've sat in this chair . i 've sat in that one . you do what you have to to survive -- emotionally , mentally , physically . to see your son , to have him see you -- adam : i 'm not gon na let him see me like this . michael : i understand that . adam : look at me . michael : i understand that . but chelsea only sees connor 's confusion . and she -- she wants to fix it . she wants to fix your confusion . adam : why do n't you fix it ? you 're the one who can help me . figure out a way , michael . find those pages . get me out of here , man . i 'm begging you . nick : look , dad just got home , all right ? let 's give him a little time to get settled in , at least for mom 's sake . you know , they could use some time alone . with any luck , tomorrow morning dad will be focused on newman enterprises and not us . victoria : is that what you expect or just what you hope ? in court , you said that you wanted to fix things with dad , and that 's great . but what if he was behind the oil spills ? maybe he 's trying to see how we would handle things . and he 'll say that we failed . nick : newman enterprises is still afloat . we did not fail . victoria : what if luca gets to dad and tells him that i was n't around and that he had to fill in ? nick : so what ? you 're gon na get to dad before luca does ? dad knows luca is full of it . we ca n't go around scrambling for dad 's approval . that 'll look weak . dad hates weakness . victoria : yeah , but he also hates excessive confidence . nick : true . so basically we can never win with him . victoria : the question is , what dad are we getting ? the loving and protective father [ sighs ] or the wrathful one ? nick : impossible to predict , so we stay hopeful but wary . victoria : then we do n't predict . we go right now . nick : no , no . sit down . victoria : i will go without you if i have to . nick : [ sighs ] well , you know i 'm never gon na let you do that alone 'cause i 'm a sucker , so let 's go . hey . jack : there was a time i thought billy and victoria had a chance to put things back together . they have tried time and again . they make each other miserable , jill . jill : ah . look at that lonely , unmarried woman . does she look happy and content to you ? jack : her father just got out of prison . i 'm sure she has more on her mind than just romance . jill : you know , billy used to be victoria 's support system against victor , which she sorely needs . and victoria was billy 's common sense , which obviously he needs . the truth is , the two of them are better together . they 're just too stubborn to admit it . jack : if he figures out what you are up to , he is going to run in the other direction . and god knows how badly he 's gon na spin out this time . jill : as far as i 'm concerned , things could n't get any worse . > > you 're every fruit on the vine intoxicating , so sublime oh , oh , oh you 're the ecstasy i 'm searching for you 're the fire burning through my core you 're my ecstasy and so much michael : i 'll make a deal with you . i will go to dylan . i will appeal to him to redouble his efforts to find the woman who met with victor , the missing journal pages , whatever it takes to prove that you were set up . but you have to promise me something in return . adam : anything . michael : stop punishing yourself for being in here . adam : i 'm not punishing myself . this is victor 's doing . i know that . michael : no , no , no , no . you know that intellectually . but every time you push chelsea away , you 're beating up on yourself , not victor . know who the real enemy is here . adam : the real enemy is victor . and right now , he 's at home at the ranch enjoying it , enjoying his maids and his -- and his -- and his home - cooked meals and his tequila and his ... family . i 'm stuck in here . you know , it makes me miss the days when sharon set that place on fire . makes me want to do the same , actually . michael : [ chuckles ] not quite the things you want to say within earshot of a guard . adam : i 'll be on my best behavior , all right ? you have my word . just get me out of here . michael : no one 's giving up on you . not me . [ chuckling ] and certainly not chelsea . anita : baby , you ca n't avoid the inevitable . that 's why it 's called the inevitable . chelsea : you really do n't think adam is coming home , do you ? anita : no . no , i do n't . and neither does the judge , and neither does the prison warden . chelsea : okay , you know what ? i ca n't be around this right now , mom . i ca n't be around this negativity . anita : it 's reality ! chelsea : adam and connor need positive thoughts . we need to work together as a family , to stick together . anita : okay , sweetie . whatever . fine , chelsea . chelsea : okay , do n't humor me . anita : no , i 'm not . i -- chelsea : do n't ! adam is coming home . and as for me , i 'm gon na go see my son and kiss him good night . you should go . anita : listen , you want to be mad at me , go ahead . be mad at me . you want to cry to me , that 's okay , too . but whatever you do , chelsea , do n't shut me out , because you can not do this alone . chelsea : you 're right , mom . i ca n't do this alone . that 's why i need adam to come back . anita : [ sighs ] phyllis : you still think i 'm here to get back at jack ? billy : if you are , good job . phyllis : [ chuckles ] billy : so what happens now ? you bolt for the door again ? say this is a mistake ? phyllis : no . it 's not a mistake . it 's incredibly selfish and incredibly dishonest , but it is not a mistake . you know , i realized tonight that jack is n't the man i married . that man would have cheered me on . he would never have let me go after victor on my own . he would have smashed that mustache right into the dust before i even said a word . this jack thinks everything is about revenge , and the old jack would have just called it justice , you know ? billy : it 's still all about jack . phyllis : that 's because he 's not you . you do n't treat me like i 'm damaged . billy : you 're not . phyllis : i 'm serious . you 're not trying to cure me . billy : you 're perfect ... in your fired up , brilliant , pissed off , sexy way . phyllis : [ chuckles ] we want the same things . including each other . billy : [ sighs ] victor : that was my assistant . i just wanted to make sure that she had all the necessary files on my desk in the morning . would you kindly tell celia i do n't feel like dinner tonight ? sit down , sweetheart . nikki : really ? victor : i 'd rather have a drink with my wife . nikki : your wife . still and always . i like that . victor : it was touch and go for a while , was n't it ? nikki : i do n't know . was it ? victor : yeah . it was . nikki : did you and i both know deep down that we would end up together like this ? victor : [ sighs ] nikki : so many times we 've filed divorce papers . i just ca n't picture my life without you in it . victor : why do we do this ? nikki : i do n't know . victor : why do we get into these fights ? do n't you think we 've reached an age where we should get over that ? nikki : you 'd think . victor : or is it so deeply ingrained ? nikki : [ chuckles ] victor : huh ? you know why we have these fights ? nikki : why ? victor : because we feel passionately about each other . that 's why . nikki : no one can deny that . so , what 's gon na happen tomorrow at the office ? victor : i do n't know . i 'm just out of prison . you want to talk about business ? nikki : [ chuckles ] i just want to make sure that you understand how hard the kids worked for newman . and it would be very important that they understand that you appreciate their hard work . nick : is that how it 's gon na go , dad ? victoria : before you answer , there 's a few things that you jack : focus on chancellor . take colin for a cruise . start a hostile takeover . leave billy and cane alone . jill : i do n't worry about cane . jack : has it ever occurred to you to just tell billy you want him to succeed and forget this puppet show , yanking his chain ? jill : of course i 've tried that , jack . jack : let billy live his life the way he sees he needs to . jill : you really love your brother , do n't you ? jack : yes , i do . and i have faith in him . can you say the same ? jill : [ scoffs ] how can you be all daffodils and sunshine when your own personal life is so -- jack : in flux . jill : well , it 's fluxed , all right . you know something ? phyllis better straighten out or some other woman 's gon na snap you up . jack : i 'm not interested in some other woman . phyllis is it for me . and deep down , i know she knows that . billy : there it is . phyllis : what ? [ laughs ] what 's what ? billy : that look . phyllis : hmm ? billy : the look in your eye i 've been waiting to see , that you 're here , that you 're all in . every other time you 've been holding back , but now i can see in your eyes that ... you 're here . phyllis : it 's gon na be so hard telling jack it 's really over . i do n't know what choice we have . we ca n't keep lying and hiding this way , you know ? i want this . i want you . and i want a life and a future and everything that comes with it . billy : no doubts ? phyllis : no doubts . i 've made so many mistakes in my life . i made so many . but this , you ... this is not one of them . nick : sorry if we 're interrupting . we wanted to see you tonight . hope you 've been celebrating . nikki : everything 's back to normal . it 's even better now that you 're here . we can have a real celebration . we have champagne and sparkling cider on ice , so let 's do a toast . victor : uh , you have something on your mind ? you want to tell me something ? victoria : yes , actually . um , i have -- these are the company actions regarding the oil spills , the press releases , and the transcripts , et cetera , et cetera . victor : okay , well , together we 'll sort out this mess . nick : it 's clear someone was trying to damage newman enterprises , but victoria would not let it happen . victoria : yes , well , that does n't answer the question -- who wants to see us fail ? adam : anita , what are you doing here ? is something wrong ? something happen to connor or chelsea ? anita : no , they 're fine . this is just me visiting you . oh , brings back memories . old boyfriends . adam : oh , oh . okay . well , you know , i 'm not -- i 'm not gon na be here very much longer anyway , so ... anita : yeah , i 've heard . chelsea 's all fired up about proving you 're innocent . adam : yeah . she will . the thought of going home to her , that 's -- that 's what keeps me going . anita : i hear you . the thing is ... what does that mean for chelsea , waiting alone at home for the next 30 years ? adam : that 's not gon na happen . i told you . i 'm not gon na be in here much longer anyway . anita : adam ... you 're a realist . and realistically speaking , you are stuck . and that means chelsea is stuck , too . i am watching my tough , little girl crack into a million pieces . [ voice breaking ] adam , i ca n't ... i ca n't watch her just shrivel up and wait for a day that 's never gon na come . [ sighs ] i 'm sorry . i just ... do you see what i 'm saying ? adam : you want me to let her go ? [ knock on door ] chelsea : [ sighs ] mom , i told you i do n't feel like talking about it anymore chelsea : chloe . chloe : how great is this ? oh ! reunited , and it feels so good ! i know . i 'm sorry . i should have called . but then i just thought that this would be so much more fun . so , surprise ! chelsea : i ca n't believe -- uh , when did you -- chloe : when did i get sprung from whackoland ? um , i did the work . it was hard . it was a lot . a lot of therapy . [ chuckles ] one on one , group , music therapy , art therapy , talk therapy . therapy , therapy , therapy . but then the doctor said that i was okay finally and ready to go back into the world . chelsea : good for you . um , when did you get back into town ? chloe : you 're my first stop . chelsea : you came here first . because of me or because of -- chloe : i 'm not here to cause any trouble with adam , if that 's what you 're asking . listen , i 'm never gon na forget what he did , but i 've learned that hate is toxic and it poisons the brain . it also makes you want to run down people with your car , which is illegal and generally not a very good idea . chelsea : well , i - i do understand the feeling . recently i was tempted to do something not so great to victor , so ... chloe : [ chuckles ] see ? we still have so much in common . chelsea : hurting victor 's not gon na bring adam back . chloe : back ? from where ? did he -- did he go somewhere ? chelsea : you have n't heard ? chloe : no . chelsea : adam is in prison . he was convicted for a murder , a murder that he did not commit . chloe : adam was punished for something that he did n't do ? [ laughing ] victor : you know , of course , i had nothing to do with those leaks . nikki : oh , they know that . it was never even a possibility . victor : is there anyone you think might have caused the sabotage ? victoria : luca santori has been on the list , but he was also very helpful in handling the fallout . victor : oh , yeah ? well , that 's why he probably caused it -- because he wanted to seem like a hero afterward . nick : it 's a fair point . summer believes in him , though . just when i thought she was done with him , she now thinks he is reformed . victor : oh , boy . i will talk to her tomorrow . i guess i 'm gon na have a busy schedule . [ doorbell rings ] nick : you expecting someone , mom ? nikki : no . nick : i 'll take care of it . victoria : those files include a proposal for further action . victor : thank you , sweetheart . i will deal with it in due time , okay ? victoria : how ? what 's the plan ? victor : we will discuss it tomorrow . victoria : we 're all here now , dad . i have a right to know what the plan is . jack : and hopefully that plan includes an end to victor 's feud with my wife . jill : billy !

[ cell phone rings ] nikki : please answer that , jack . and remember , i - i 'd like to be alone with my husband on his first night home . jack : i know you think you deserve her . i hope you 're right . this is jack . yeah . nikki : you almost make it sound like you 're not interested in revenge . victor : jack and phyllis abbott are hypocrites . nikki : what about the kids ? you holding a grudge against them ? victor : they did well by newman enterprises , you know ? but now i 'm back . nick : dad seemed ... calm . victoria : yeah , like a cobra about to attack its prey . nick : you know , dad is who he is , all right ? he 's either gon na freak out or he 's not . he 's either gon na make our lives a living hell or he 's not . victoria : adam 's in jail . we 're about to be fired . because , of course , at the end of the day , there can only be one newman standing when everything 's said and done . chelsea : this is n't funny . chloe : [ laughs ] chelsea : victor framed adam . no matter what you may think of my husband , he 's not capable of premeditated murder . chloe : i know what he 's capable of . chelsea : chloe . chloe : i mean , how did victor even frame him ? i heard that he 's in jail . chelsea : well , apparently he got out today . you know victor and his money . he can pay for whatever he wants , including some jerk who wants to frame an innocent man , and now adam is in jail . chloe : [ laughs ] chelsea : stop . this is n't funny . chloe , you ca n't come into my house and laugh about my family 's tragedy . think about my little boy . i know how you feel . i know that you hate adam . i 'm just asking you for a little bit of support right now . chloe : i 'm sorry . how -- how is connor ? chelsea : he 's sweet and perfect and innocent , and he 's wondering where his dad is . so what am i supposed to say to him ?

[ both chuckle ] [ scene_break ] silas : you never told me we shared a daughter because you love me so much . ava : which part do n't you believe ? silas : all of it ! the last time we talked about kiki , you threatened to cut me . was that because you loved me so much ? hmm ? ava : passion is n't always a pretty emotion . and i 'm extremely passionate about you , silas . silas : [ scoffs ] oh , are you ? [ sighs ] ava : oh , you ca n't possibly doubt my feelings for you -- after everything we 've been through . you knew very well how much i loved you . and you loved me back in equal measure .

[ scene_break ] holly : i do n't understand . if you and jerry got the money , where 's the cure ? luke : and what 's this stopgap ? anna : when jerry jacks went to make the buy , he was told production on the cure had been stopped . some kind of snafu . they had a temporary measure -- a serum that could hold the effects of the polonium temporarily at bay while they continued to work towards a real cure . luke : how do you know he is n't just conning you ? anna : the serum works . i 'd have lost my father a long time ago if not for this medicine . holly : what about your mother ? where 's tiffany ? anna : she does n't trust mr. jacks , or his mysterious doctors . she 's in london -- seeking an alternative cure , but so far there 's been no progress . luke : okay , look . you tell me where jerry jacks is , and i 'll get that cure for both of us . [ scene_break ] silas : you know better than to put words in my mouth . ava : if you do n't like my take on our relationship , give me yours . tell me how much you did n't love me . what 's the matter ? you do n't have the words ? of course . you never really were one for talking . [ scene_break ] morgan : what are you talking about ? michael : you rushed the wedding . morgan : i wanted to marry my girl , and i bet you 'd do the same if you found someone you cared about as much . michael : or you read the paper , and you wanted to tie kiki down before she found out . morgan : okay , first of all , that 's not what happened . second , why do i care if kiki saw the paper ? what does it matter if she 's not a quartermaine ? michael : because it changes things . morgan : for who ? michael : for kiki . morgan : what things ? kiki married me . she loves me . she chose me . she wants to be with me . not you , michael . whether you 're her cousin or not , it does n't matter . does n't make a difference . right , kiki ? kiki : [ sighs ] did you know ? [ scene_break ] nurse : i know that epiphany pretty much covered everything , of all the basics , so today why do n't we focus on labor and delivery ? labor is just what it sounds like -- hard work . and between contractions , a massage from your birthing partner can really help . why do n't you demonstrate ? maxie : a little lower . to the left . yep . [ sighs ] wow . you have been doing your homework . [ both chuckle ] lulu : do n't get too used to it . nurse : good . good . now , the important thing to remember is to be supportive . tell the mother she 's doing great . tell her how much you love her and your baby . and when she 's scared , soothe her , breathe with her . that 's it . lulu : you are , without a doubt , the best friend in the world . maxie : [ chuckles ] lulu : [ chuckles ] dante : you are gon na get the baby through this like a champ . we know it .

[ scene_break ] sabrina : hey . okay . what 's the news on britt 's mother ? spinelli : well , as i was just explaining to felix , i was able to find britt 's birth certificate in switzerland . and her mother 's name was given , but her father 's was absent , and he remains a mystery . sabrina : okay , so , who is britt 's mother ? spinelli : one liesl westbourne . [ scene_break ] duke : any word on obrecht ? anna : technically , she 's out of my jurisdiction . duke : oh , that 's never stopped you before . anna : i know . i 've done a little digging . yeah . um , talked to some people over at the wsb . duke : and ? [ scene_break ] spinelli : the daughter of simple bernese ski instructors -- swiss pot heads -- she rebelled against their carefree ways , excelling at piano , orienteering , animal husbandry . she had a great aptitude for science , graduating with honors from the biozentrum , a research institute at the university of basel . felix : lady do n't play . spinelli : yes and no . i mean , she was certainly a diligent student , but she was later stripped of her medical license for performing unethical , unsanctioned , dangerous experiments on live patients . sabrina : i 'm sorry , what ? spinelli : how 's your german ? [ scene_break ] anna : liesl obrecht is a bit of a cipher . i managed to get hold of her employment records , and she was working at that swiss clinic for quite some time . duke : and before that ? anna : nothing . i mean , it 's almost as if , prior to the clinic , she did n't even exist . duke : hmm . [ scene_break ] felix : tell her the rest . spinelli : that 's it . besides her name on britt 's birth certificate , i can find no evidence of liesl westbourne elsewhere . it 's as if after she had her medical license stripped , she just ceased to exist . sabrina : i know this woman . [ scene_break ] dr. obrecht : we could have been a family , cesar .

[ scene_break ] patrick : so , felix is certainly going the distance . sabrina : you want him to back off ? patrick : look , i understand that you two are friends and that he cares about you , but britt and the baby do n't need any more added stress . sabrina : but do n't you want to know if she 's up to something ? patrick : yeah , of course , i do . i just -- i do n't know what it would be or how her mother would be involved .

[ laughs ] dante : point is , she 'll be here for the birth , and so will your dad , right ? lulu : yeah . well , you know , my dad 's time - management skills are unreliable . he could get caught up in something and three months will go by before he even notices . dante : you know what ? he 's always there for you , and he will be now . lulu : i refuse to spend the last couple days of our pregnancy wondering where my dad is . i have lots of homework to catch up on . dante : aha ! you know , i am way ahead of you . lulu : what is that ? dante : these are spinelli 's notes . he actually took some pretty darn good notes . lulu : you have had this whole time , and you did n't tell me ? parents are supposed to be a team ! dante : we are a team . but this player right here , he needed some extra prep time . so , give me those back , please . you think that 's actually gon na work ? get over here . lulu : [ squeals , laughs ] you better remember -- maxie may be carrying this baby , but we are gon na raise her -- together . dante : speaking of our surrogate -- lulu : mm - hmm . dante : class is about to start . where is she ? [ scene_break ] spinelli : yes , i know that the baby is n't mine , but i ca n't help worrying about both of you . maxie : i 'm sorry , spinelli . i should n't have snapped at you . it 's probably just my hormones . spinelli : the fault is mine . i guess i got a little carried away after filling in for dante at childbirth class . absorbing all the information , you know , guiding you through mock labor -- i guess i just felt a little bit fatherly is all .

[ chuckles ] kiki : [ sighs ] morgan : hey , babe ? are you okay ? kiki : this does n't make sense . i do n't know what it means . what does it mean ? michael : it means that you 're not a quartermaine . you never were . kiki : so , franco is not jason 's brother ? was it just one of franco 's games ? michael : franco -- franco is a quartermaine . you 're not . kiki : how does that even work ? michael : franco is not your father . your -- your father is silas clay . [ scene_break ] luke : how did it happen ? anna : a criminal named the balkan targeted my father for execution . he 's -- luke : yes , we know who he is . holly : how did you run afoul of him ? anna : back when my dad was still with the wsb , he shut down the balkan 's human - trafficking organization . balkan paid him back by having him shot . he survived the bullet , but he became sick not long after . luke : let me guess . he had a raft of symptoms seemingly unrelated to the gunshot wound . anna : the doctors could n't figure it out at first . but then they zeroed in on the cause . holly : polonium poisoning . anna : [ scoffs ] they said the best they could do was make him comfortable . but he was n't gon na accept that . my dad was gon na fight to save his life . luke : and so he did it -- by getting in touch with one of the balkan 's other victims , jerry jacks . anna : my dad 's sources at the wsb put us on jerry jacks ' trail . last year , we caught up to him . found out he was close to obtaining the cure from a third party . he lacked the funds to finalize the transaction , but he had a plan to obtain them . luke : you knew what he planned to unleash on port charles , and you just stood by ? anna : we did n't have a choice . [ scene_break ] felix : thanks for meeting me . spinelli : oh , of course . felix : so , you got something on britt 's mother ? spinelli : do i ever .

[ scene_break ] felix : tell her the rest . spinelli : that 's it . besides her name on britt 's birth certificate , i can find no evidence of liesl westbourne elsewhere . it 's as if after she had her medical license stripped , she just ceased to exist . sabrina : i know this woman .

only this time , to change it up , you 'd actually be worried about her . franco : hey , i get it , all right ? ! i understand ! i have not seen carly , let alone do anything to her , okay ! we need to retrace her steps . that 's what we need to do . michael : we ? there is -- franco : hold on ! when was the last time you saw your mother ? michael : when me and kiki left the restaurant . franco : where did you go ? kiki : we went back to michael 's , we went on a hike , and then -- and then we -- we just got home . we were tired , we watched tv , and we never -- we never heard from anyone . no one called us . carly never came by . franco : okay , the last time i saw carly , she left the restaurant because she was gon na find you at your dad 's place . maybe somebody saw something there . that 's where we need to start . michael : no , there is no `` we , `` franco . i 'm gon na look at my dad 's place . all right , if i find out this is some sort of wild goose chase and my mom was never even there , i am gon na come back for you . and i promise you this time you 're not gon na get off so easy . shawn : i 'm only gon na say this once . you and your people stay away from tj forget you ever saw him at the warehouse , and i 'll forget your lackey carlos had a gun on him and used him as a human shield . understood ? julian : you 're telling me what to do ? hmm ? is n't that a little foolish ? considering what i know about sonny 's youngest son ? what if i go to the cops and tell them who shot sonny 's trusted bodyguard ? sonny : what 's going on , morgan ? you ca n't tell me that you walked away from the jeromes and i catch you here looking into her eyes . what were you whispering , sweet nothings in her ear ? like how to bring me down ? is that what you were doing ? morgan : come on ! sonny : then what were you doing ? ! morgan : we 're not sitting here , talking how to bring you down . all right ? i was telling this bleach - blond nympho to stay the hell away from me . that 's what i was doing . felix : i definitely did n't say that . i said sabrina 's pleasant . she 's most definitely a pleasant person -- patrick : stop it . you said `` pregnant . `` robin : are you sure ? felix : please do n't ask me to say anything more . patrick : hey , no . it 's a little late for that , okay ? what happened ? what 's going on ? how do you know ? felix : okay , sabrina was violently ill , and after eliminating not only the contents of her stomach but every other reason why she might be sick , we concluded the inevitable . and a test confirmed it . but , you know , those tests are n't that accurate . robin : yeah , only 99 % of the time . felix : see ? false alarm . i mean , she could have had a faulty test , or she could have done it incorrectly . robin : sabrina is a nurse . she would n't get that wrong . felix : ca n't you humor me ? robin : no . felix : okay , but sabrina was determined to keep it a secret . she insisted that you two never know about the pregnancy . patrick : why not ? felix : because she does n't even want a hit of britt to waft off of her . you 're back with your wife , and she does n't want you to think she 's trying to trap you or rend you two asunder in any way . she does n't intend to attempt to lure you back by dangling the baby between you two . and she 's definitely not gon na let me live long enough to break my new year 's resolutions , which is fair , because , you know , i deserve it after breaking her confidence . and if i do n't get to work , not only am i gon na be dead and remorseful , but i 'm gon na be fired , too . look , i 'm out . robin : oh , my god . patrick : i 'm sorry . robin : no , i - i should have known that it was all too good to be true -- having our family back together -- you and me and emma , a life with no complications . i was just waiting for the other shoe to drop , and ... now it has . carlos : just hear me out . why should you have to give your baby up for adoption just to make things easier on patrick ? sabrina : you do n't understand . carlos : yes , i do . you ca n't have him . so you want to protect him . this is how you 're gon na show him that you love him . you 've sacrificed enough already , querida . i know you want to have this baby . this is the way to do it . sabrina : it 's not gon na work . it 's not gon na work . because patrick 's gon na see that i 'm pregnant , and he 's gon na have questions about the timing . carlos : not if we leave port charles . morgan : what part of `` we 're through `` did you not understand last night ? because now you 're coming here to my father 's place of business , and you 're begging for me back . did you really think i was ever into you ? ava : i had that impression , yes . morgan : ava , you were my mother - in - law . okay , i was sleeping with you to get back at kiki and my dad because they screwed me over , and you just made yourself all too available . and i thought , `` wow , this is perfect . i can sleep with my wife 's mom , and then it was just bonus points that your brother happens to be a man that my father hates . okay , but sleeping with a cougar and doing business with your cold - fish brother got to be a little too much misery , so i stepped out . and then , thanks to my father , he did me , you know , a solid by telling kiki that i lied to her . because i do n't want a girl that does n't really love me . and i 'm over her . so now you need to do yourself a favor , and you need to get over me . i do n't want you now . i never wanted you then . so i need you to go . and please never come back here again . franco : michael , i understand how you feel about me . and i 've never given you any reason to believe in me . michael : yeah , you 're right . you 've never given me any reason to believe you . franco : i would never hurt your mother . kiki : calm down . he honestly seems concerned . michael : i warned her . i warned her being with you would only get her hurt , and , what , 24 hours later , she vanishes . franco : i would never hurt her . michael : yeah , like you never hurt anybody else . let 's go . kiki : do n't you think i should stay in case your mom comes back here ? michael : with franco ? kiki : franco 's not gon na hurt me . do n't worry about me , okay ? go to your dad 's house . go check there , okay ? i 'll be fine . michael : i meant what i said . if you did this , i am finally gon na make you pay . kiki : come on . love you . [ sighs ] franco : can i ask you something ? you believe me , right ? you know i 'd never do anything to hurt carly . a.j . : i - i found this . i do n't know . i guess some kids came out here . they must have been partying and left it . monica : oh , do n't insult my intelligence , a.j . i know you 've been drinking . a.j . : i have n't been drinking , mom . monica : well , then why do i smell alcohol all over you ? how could you do this , a.j . , after all that 's happened ? did n't you learn anything ? a.j . : i 'm sorry . i 'm sorry , mom . heather : neither rain nor snow nor darkness of night ... nor monica nor her wayward son will keep me from getting this to my wayward son . carly : [ sighs ] monica : come on . a.j . : where ? monica : we 're going to get rid of the booze . a.j . : all right . heather : you know ... sometimes i think that sons were born to hurt their mothers . but i can get even with mine . i have the letter you wrote ... i have the master key to the hotel ... and my gun . do n't go anywhere . i 'll be back soon . franco : michael 's mother is the best thing that 's ever happened to me . i would n't do anything to screw that up . kiki : michael 's just freaking out because he 's worried about his mom . to be honest , i think you 're both worked up over what could be nothing because there could be a logical explanation . carly could walk in the door any minute now . franco : i do n't know about that . i ca n't shake this feeling that something 's really wrong . you know , maybe someone 's out to get carly . she 's not exactly the ambassador of goodwill and -- kiki : oh , my god ! oh , my -- my mom could have something to do with this . ava : oh , you 've certainly made it clear where you stand . morgan : come on . pack it in . let 's go . ava : all right , morgan . i guess i was just hoping that there was more to this , to -- to us than this . i understand now . and make no mistake . you are on the losing side of this war . and for the record , you will never find another woman who even comes close to me . morgan : bye ! [ sighs ] julian : morgan , the little pissant went `` whee , whee , whee `` all the way home to hide behind his daddy . the kid shot max , and now he 's hiding behind sonny . come on . shawn : you gon na tell the cops about morgan ? hmm ? tell them that you were at the warehouse , armed to the teeth ? that you sent your little soldier boy carlos to take a high - school kid hostage ? or that you ordered morgan to kill his own father ? how many charges is that , hmm ? assault with a deadly weapon , kidnapping , attempted murder , conspiracy to commit murder . no , i do n't think so , jerome . but what i do think is you 're gon na stay away from my boy . one step towards tj 's direction , i swear , you wo n't live to see the light of another day . sonny : i 'm not a fan of ava 's , but you came down pretty hard on her . morgan : well , what did you want me to do ? i meant what i told you . i 'm done with her and -- and julian , so , you know , i did what i had to do . i - i 'd do anything to make up for shooting max . [ cell phone rings ] morgan : i 'm sorry . sonny : i got to get this . it 's , uh , shawn . he 's having trouble with your old boss . morgan : yeah . sonny : all right ? morgan : yeah . sonny : yeah , shawn . [ door opens ] michael : morgan , what are you doing here ? morgan : i split with the jeromes . i 'm with dad . michael : you just changed your mind , decided to come home ? was dad okay with it ? sonny : hey . so , uh ... just want you to know that morgan had some bad times with the jeromes , but he finally realizes who his real family is . i could not be any happier . so i want both of you to resolve your differences . michael : actually , right now we got a bigger problem . mom 's missing . carly : [ grunts ] monica : am i gon na find anymore bottles were left by wayward teenagers ? a.j . : no , i usually only like to hide one at a time . monica : what ? what , this has been going on for a while ? since when , a.j . ? a.j . : since i was acquitted of murdering connie . tracy , uh , left a glass of champagne on the table . monica : are you blaming this on tracy ? a.j . : [ chuckles ] come on , mom . i mean , by now you do n't know ? i 'll blame anyone . anyone but myself . tracy was , uh , she was celebrating , assuming that i was gon na be convicted , and when i turned out to be acquitted , she and luke left the room , and she left the -- the champagne there . you and kiki and michael went into the kitchen for the big celebratory dinner that i did n't deserve . flipped on the tv , and they were interviewing one of the jurors . and she said that they were all convinced that i had murdered connie , but they just did n't have enough evidence to convict . i just ... i just felt so worthless . i ... mom , i killed her . i must have . you know , i just -- i could n't deal with it , you know . i mean -- i mean , she 's dead , and you guys are making me this dinner , and i just -- i just grabbed the champagne , and i chugged it , and i have been buzzed ever since . [ clatter ] a.j . : did you hear that ? monica : what ? a.j . : in the boathouse . i just -- i thought it was raccoons before , but i 'm not so sure now . [ lock beeps ] heather : [ groans ] franco : shh . heather : franco , why did you try to kill me ? why did you make me do this ? you drove me to it . i 'm sorry . but this is all your fault . carlos : we leave tonight . patrick never even has to find out about the baby . sabrina : uproot both of our lives just like that ? carlos : [ chuckling ] yeah . why not ? i 'm a marked man . i 'm hiding out here , afraid for my life . and you -- your baby daddy is happily married to someone else . now , we got nothing to lose but heartache . sabrina : where would we go ? carlos : puerto rico . home . sabrina : but could you really raise another man 's child ? carlos : yes . that 's how much i love you . i would raise it as if it were my own . it 's a fresh start for both of us . i get to leave this vida loca with the jeromes , and you -- you get to keep the baby . it 's the perfect solution . what do you say , carita ? let 's go home . patrick : i 'm sorry . i do n't know how this is happening right now . i mean , we were -- we were safe . we were -- we were being careful . robin : well , apparently one of you was n't careful enough . [ scoffs ] what are you gon na do ? patrick : i do n't know yet . okay ? we -- we do n't even know for sure if this is true . robin : well , just a wild guess -- i think it might be . patrick : okay . listen to me , okay ? i love you , all right ? this is not gon na come between us . we have spent too much time apart , and i am so happy to have you back that this is not gon na stop that . robin : patrick , it 's not just about us anymore . patrick : sabrina 's a good person . i mean , you heard felix . she did n't even want to tell us , all right ? she does n't want to come in between us . this is gon na be okay , robin . robin : how ? patrick : i just promise you , okay ? it will be . robin : [ sighs ] franco : your mother -- your lethal mother -- i should have thought of her before . kiki : i should have , too . michael and i ran in to her at the metro court yesterday , and she was all over carly . franco : ava said that carly was all over her . kiki : [ scoffs ] franco : she did . that 's what she said . and , okay , i know that this is a sensitive subject . you probably do n't want to talk about it right now , but let 's face it , morgan -- kiki : okay . no . no , no , no . carly 's just angry with ava because she 's with morgan , but that 's completely understandable . franco : carly has every right to be angry . kiki : right . franco : all right . so , maybe ava 's just retaliating . kiki : well , she was in full threat mode . franco : okay . when ? when was that ? let 's put a timeline on it . all right ? you and michael , you show up , you see that ava and carly are mixing it up . what happens next ? kiki : right . then carly led us to our table and ava left , and then that 's when you showed up . franco : okay . so , i show up , and then you all leave , all right ? and i stay at the restaurant because i 'm waiting for carly to come back or at least call , and she does n't do anything . all right . ava shows up , okay ? and she makes a point of sitting at my table and chatting me up and making it clear to me that she got into it with carly . kiki : so , what happened next ? franco : i defended carly . i let ava know that if she -- if she goes after carly , that she deserves everything she gets , and then ava left . kiki : that could be it right there . ava could be mad and went after carly . franco : it 's possible . let 's go find her . kiki : let 's go . let 's do it . franco : wait . wait . hold on a second . `` we ? `` you should stay here . you said you wanted to stay here in case carly comes back . kiki : this is not the first place carly 's going to go . franco : you 're probably right about that . kiki : right . so , let 's go talk to that lying , manipulative ... franco : scheming , cradle - robbing ... kiki : [ growls ] ... mother of mine . michael : mom invited me and kiki to lunch at the metro court to tell us that she 's dating franco . morgan : whoa . whoa , whoa , whoa . wait up . she 's -- she 's dating that psycho ? michael : she 's convinced the only reason he was dangerous is because of the brain tumor . with it gone , he 's just -- he 's a new , changed man . morgan : that 's a load of crap . michael : that 's basically what i said . i mean , i tried to warn her that franco was gon na hurt her , but she kept making all these excuses for him . and then he showed up for lunch . morgan : mikey , do n't -- please do n't tell me that you sat there like a good little boy and had lunch with that freak , because it 's one thing to coexist with the guy . it 's a whole ' nother thing to accept the fact that he 's dating our mom . michael : no . kiki and i took off . and that 's the thing . that 's the last time that i saw mom . [ sighs ] that night , i went to the house to try and talk to her , but grandma bobbie said that she had n't seen her all night . sonny : carly -- wait . carly was with franco ? michael : well , according to franco , mom left right after kiki and i left . and that she came here to talk to me . sonny : carly was here yesterday . she was looking for you . and she did tell me about franco . monica : a.j . -- a.j . , it is obvious you do n't want to talk about your drinking . a.j . : mom , i heard something . monica : okay . yes , and you 're probably right . it 's raccoons . they 're here all the time . a.j . : i think i should check it out . monica : no . you do n't have to . if they 're there , alice will take care of it . now come on . a.j . : [ sighs ] monica : now , if you ca n't remember whether or not you killed connie , why do n't you start believing that you did n't ? a.j . : do n't you think i 've tried ? i keep having this -- this fantasy in my head that somebody else went into connie 's office and shot her with the gun that i was holding . monica : well , maybe that 's exactly what happened . a.j . : oh , come on , mom ! we both know that i was the star of that security footage , right ? i mean , the only -- the only thing that was missing were the frames where i shot her . look , you know , it 's like i said . it 's a fantasy that i 'm innocent . the simple fact of the matter is -- the simple truth -- i got away with murder , and the only way that i can stop thinking about it is to stop thinking . and the only way that i can stop thinking is -- is to stay drunk or die . monica : is that what you want to do ? you want to die ? well , you will if you keep on drinking . or maybe you will just blackout and go and really kill somebody or maim them for life . my god , the least you 're gon na do is hurt the people you love . because you already have . a.j . : mom , i -- a.j . : come on . it does n't work ! it does n't work . i 've done it for years , and look at me . monica : it kept you sober . a.j . : oh , stop . until it did n't . you know , it 's useless . it 's -- it 's hopeless . monica : okay . i am done . i am done with your excuses . i 'm done with your self- pitying . you are not gon na do this again , a.j . -- not to you , not to me , and , most importantly , not to your son . you go to that meeting , a.j . , for michael 's sake . you go . michael : so , mom was here ? sonny : franco was n't lying about that much . michael : [ sighs ] do you -- do you know where she went after , by any chance ? sonny : no . she insisted that she -- you know , that she was gon na get through to you about franco , and then she -- i thought she went to track you down . michael : i never saw her . sonny : well ? morgan : well , what ? why did n't you call her or send her a text message ? michael : my -- my phone was off for most of the afternoon . i mean , kiki and i went for a hike , but i turned it back on afterwards . i had no missed calls or texts . [ sighs ] wait , dad . when mom came over here to , uh , tell you about franco , did she ... and you -- did you guys -- did you guys fight ? sonny : well , i certainly do n't think it 's a good idea for her to be going out with that psycho freak . michael : okay . did you use those words ? morgan : oh , was that not polite enough for dad to say that ? michael : no . i 'm just asking . was it -- was it an argument or were you guys , like screaming at each other ? sonny : michael , are you asking me if she stomped out here 'cause she was so upset , went straight to franco to prove me wrong ? michael : yeah . sonny : okay . we had a disagreement . we yelled a little bit -- not any more than what we usually do -- and we did n't get out of control . i told her that i thought she was lying to herself about franco , that he 's dangerous . she said i 'm entitled to my own opinion , and , yeah , i think i did push her a little bit . michael : okay . so , how ? sonny : [ sighs ] i told her that -- is franco worth losing you and if she keeps dating him , she 's gon na alienate you . and then she said , `` i 'm not gon na let that happen . `` and then she left . michael : dad , i think you might have been the last person to see mom . julian : [ sighs ] why are you still here ? shawn : wanted to make sure you heard me . julian : i heard you . shawn : and ? julian : and ... i have no interest in your kid . now ... get out of my way . sonny : you know i love your mother . she 's strong , she 's independent , but she can be impulsive and reckless . look , you have n't heard from her . that does n't -- michael : yeah , in 24 hours , i have n't heard from her . morgan : well , michael , have you called the hotel ? 'cause 24 hours -- she could have just stayed the night there . michael : she did n't a room comped . sonny : let 's not assume the worst about her and franco . that 's all i 'm saying . michael : mom would n't just take off like this without at least texting . morgan : mikey is right about that . mom would have at least texted him and let him know what she was doing . michael : look , we both know that -- that franco snowed mom into trusting him . we both know that was a huge mistake . i mean , what -- what other explanation is there for her randomly disappearing like this ? morgan : is that the plan , julian ? you 're gon na eliminate me for disloyalty ? why do n't you try ? 'cause my dad will bury you before i 've bled out . julian : who says i need to kill you ? there 's so many other options . you got , uh , your mother . sonny : where are you going ? morgan : i ca n't -- i - i ca n't -- i ca n't sit here . i got to go look for mom . michael : can your people look to this ? sonny : i do n't -- i do n't want you to think that i 'm taking this lightly , i just do n't want you and your brother overreacting , doing something you 're gon na regret . michael : it 's a little late for that . sonny : okay . you and your brother have both made mistakes . nothing that ca n't be fixed . michael : [ sighs ] like morgan coming home ? sonny : yeah . like that . michael : and leaving the jeromes . look , dad , i 'm thrilled about that , obviously , but , i mean , it was really sudden . is he seriously finished with them ? ava : [ muttering ] i know it was all an act ... but did you really have to go out your way to make me feel so ... what do you want ? what are you doing here with my daughter ? franco : we 're here to talk to you . ava : well , i think we 've covered all of our bases yesterday , franco . franco : yeah . you made yourself perfectly clear to me and kiki . ava : what do you mean you and kiki ? i never even saw the two of you together . there 's no reason that you should be together . kiki : you 're the reason . franco : you threatened carly , ava . did you make good on those threats ? monica : the only way you 're gon na turn this around , a.j . , is by dealing with your illness one day at a time the way i do . a.j . : okay . all right . there 's a lunchtime meeting downtown . monica : oh , thank you . thank you . [ rattling ] a.j . : did you hear that ? monica : now i heard it . a.j . : i told you . let 's go before i change my mind . monica : yeah , okay . heather : [ sighs ] hi , there , sunshine . did somebody have a good time while i was gone ? it looks like somebody tried to get rescued . i guess somebody failed . well , i did n't . the letter got delivered . that 's one item off the to- do list . now onto the next one . there we have it . felix : oh . um , hey . i 'm sorry about the news about sabrina . i - i should n't have said anything . but if you want to know the truth , i felt like patrick had the right to know . robin : it 's okay . i 'm not gon na shoot the messenger . it 's not your fault . you 're not the one who 's pregnant . sabrina : i have a life here with friends that i cherish . carlos : you -- you 'll make new ones . i mean , that 's gon na happen anyway with the baby -- the new mothers . i 'll get us a beautiful house on the beach , and we 'll make a home there together . sabrina : look , it 's a very sweet picture that you 're -- i appreciate what you 're offering me . i really do . look , carlos , you have been -- you 've been a lifeline to me ever since robin walked in to that church and stopped the wedding . but , baby , you 're not -- i do n't want to spend my life with you , and it -- carlos : why ? 'cause -- 'cause my life is a mess , hmm ? i do n't blame you . but i promise you , carita , i will change . i promise , sabrina , i will make you happy . i will be there for you and that baby . and this way , we leave town tonight , patrick will never even know you 're pregnant . [ knock on door ] patrick : sabrina , it 's patrick . can we talk ? sonny : look , i spoke to morgan at the hospital , okay ? and he was there to check up on max . he was broken up about that . i think i got through to him . he also told me he -- he 's done with the jerome family . i hope he is , and i hope he can , uh -- he can do it . michael : okay , so despite what morgan says , you 're not sure he 's being honest ? sonny : okay , you know what ? first things first . we got to figure out what 's going on with your mom . did you talk to everybody at the hotel ? michael : yeah . uh , yeah . i mean , everyone who there . i mean , i can go back again and talk to people who worked on the later shifts . sonny : okay . i 'm gon na have my people look into it . here 's the thing -- if your mom was spending the day at some spa or something , she 's gon na be pissed 'cause , you know , i got involved , so you 're gon na have to help me out on that one . michael : i will . i will . sonny : just tell her that you came to me for help -- michael : i 'll tell her that if she has to scream at anyone , she can scream at me . sonny : no , do n't worry about it , because if she 's safe , who cares , right ? michael : yeah . sonny : that 's all the matters . michael : i hope you 're right and i 'm overreacting . i just -- i - i do n't think i am . sonny : let me tell you something . even though , you know , your mother and i -- we could n't make our marriage work , four tries , does n't mean that we do n't love each other . she would walk through fire for me , and i would walk through fire for her . if somebody did anything to her , they 'd have to answer to me . michael : me , too . sonny : [ sighs ] morgan : you hurt my mom , hmm ? ava : i have no idea where carly is . franco : yesterday , you threatened her . kiki : yeah . i heard you . franco : and today , she 's missing . ava : i have no idea what this has to do with me . kiki : okay . ava : get your hand off me ! franco : what did you do to her ? kiki : franco , franco , please , let go of her . stop . stop . stop . i need -- i need to talk to her alone , okay ? i should . franco : sorry . ava : [ scoffs ] he 's an animal . thank you . shall we go somewhere and talk ? could we go somewhere and talk ? i want to mend fences with you . kiki : i was n't trying to protect you . i was n't trying to mend anything with you . i wanted you alone for one reason , and that is for you to tell me , your only child , the daughter that you supposedly love so much , what happened to carly . heather : this is the knife i was gon na use to kill you when you were in the shower , but franco stopped me from completing my mission . my own son used my own knife to kill me . the only difference is i came back from the dead . | sonny walks into pozzulo 's and finds morgan with ava . morgan says he was telling ava to stay away from him . ava plays along . julian opens his door . shawn rushes him , pushes him down on the sofa , and aims his gun at him . shawn tells julian to leave tj alone , and he will forget that carlos used him as a human shield . julian threatens to tell the police that morgan shot max . shawn doubts that . he tells julian that if he takes one step toward tj , he wo n't live to see the next day . the next time julian opens his door , shawn is still standing outside . julian says he has no interest in shawn 's kid and leaves . | <s>[INST] [ knock on door ] julian : [ grunts ] morgan : this -- this is not what it looks like . sonny : looks like something . what 's going on here ? 'cause you swore to me that you were gon na get away from the jeromes . and i thought that included this one . michael : what the hell did you do to my mother ? ! where is she ? ! franco : i do n't know ! have n't you seen her ? ! michael : no , you know i have n't because you did something to her ! carly : no way . i 'm not signing that . there 's no way i 'm signing that . heather : sign it . or die . that 's what i thought . okay . special delivery time ! here we go . carly : [ grunts ] heather : sit tight . a.j . : what the hell are you doing here ? monica : a.j . ? how dare you talk to me like that ? carlos : you do it my way , patrick never has to find out about the baby . and you do n't have to take a leave of absence or hide your pregnancy . and the best part is you get to keep the kid . sabrina : how ? carlos : we raise the baby together . sabrina : together ? carlos : yeah . we start a family . yes . you , me , the baby . patrick : i know you 're her best friend , okay , and i can only imagine what you think of me , especially after the way everything shook out . but i care about her , okay ? i love her . felix : i love her , too . patrick : okay , then if something 's wrong , you need to tell me so i can help . felix : fine . but remember , you asked for it . patrick : okay . felix : sabrina 's pregnant . robin : sorry , i was just ... standing a few feet away . did i hear you right ? did you just say sabrina is pregnant ? kiki : stop ! michael , stop ! stop ! michael : not until he answers me ! my mom never slept in her own bed last night ! franco : the last time i saw your mother was yesterday afternoon at the restaurant , okay ? she left me to go find you . michael : that 's what you told kiki , and she might believe you , but i know better . my mom never went looking for me because i never saw her . franco : then something must have happened to her . a.j . : i 'm sorry , mom . you startled me . monica : well , obviously . what are you hiding ? heather : you thought i 'd been caught and you 'd be rescued . hallelujah ! but it was only that lug of a baby daddy of yours and his annoying mother . i just wish those quartermaines would keep their dysfunction inside . oh , well . no harm done . it 's not like they 're gon na be riding to your rescue anytime soon . no one will . michael : you think something happened to my mom on the way to see me , like what ? franco : i do n't know . something happened . she was carjacked , something . michael : yeah , or you 're lying to my face , pretending to be concerned ! franco : michael , i get it . i 've been paranoid in my life . i can see you have earned the right -- michael : the right ? you broke into this house ! little sister was six months old . my mom walked into her nursery and saw this freak holding her . kiki : michael , and i 'm sure that was horrible , but that was before -- michael : and then what happened then ? then what happened then ? or did getting that brain tumor removed magically erase all the other crap that you pulled ? well , here 's a reminder in case you forgot . you kidnapped her ! you held her hostage . and , what , it was so much fun the first time , you thought you 'd give it another go ? only this time , to change it up , you 'd actually be worried about her . franco : hey , i get it , all right ? ! i understand ! i have not seen carly , let alone do anything to her , okay ! we need to retrace her steps . that 's what we need to do . michael : we ? there is -- franco : hold on ! when was the last time you saw your mother ? michael : when me and kiki left the restaurant . franco : where did you go ? kiki : we went back to michael 's , we went on a hike , and then -- and then we -- we just got home . we were tired , we watched tv , and we never -- we never heard from anyone . no one called us . carly never came by . franco : okay , the last time i saw carly , she left the restaurant because she was gon na find you at your dad 's place . maybe somebody saw something there . that 's where we need to start . michael : no , there is no `` we , `` franco . i 'm gon na look at my dad 's place . all right , if i find out this is some sort of wild goose chase and my mom was never even there , i am gon na come back for you . and i promise you this time you 're not gon na get off so easy . shawn : i 'm only gon na say this once . you and your people stay away from tj forget you ever saw him at the warehouse , and i 'll forget your lackey carlos had a gun on him and used him as a human shield . understood ? julian : you 're telling me what to do ? hmm ? is n't that a little foolish ? considering what i know about sonny 's youngest son ? what if i go to the cops and tell them who shot sonny 's trusted bodyguard ? sonny : what 's going on , morgan ? you ca n't tell me that you walked away from the jeromes and i catch you here looking into her eyes . what were you whispering , sweet nothings in her ear ? like how to bring me down ? is that what you were doing ? morgan : come on ! sonny : then what were you doing ? ! morgan : we 're not sitting here , talking how to bring you down . all right ? i was telling this bleach - blond nympho to stay the hell away from me . that 's what i was doing . felix : i definitely did n't say that . i said sabrina 's pleasant . she 's most definitely a pleasant person -- patrick : stop it . you said `` pregnant . `` robin : are you sure ? felix : please do n't ask me to say anything more . patrick : hey , no . it 's a little late for that , okay ? what happened ? what 's going on ? how do you know ? felix : okay , sabrina was violently ill , and after eliminating not only the contents of her stomach but every other reason why she might be sick , we concluded the inevitable . and a test confirmed it . but , you know , those tests are n't that accurate . robin : yeah , only 99 % of the time . felix : see ? false alarm . i mean , she could have had a faulty test , or she could have done it incorrectly . robin : sabrina is a nurse . she would n't get that wrong . felix : ca n't you humor me ? robin : no . felix : okay , but sabrina was determined to keep it a secret . she insisted that you two never know about the pregnancy . patrick : why not ? felix : because she does n't even want a hit of britt to waft off of her . you 're back with your wife , and she does n't want you to think she 's trying to trap you or rend you two asunder in any way . she does n't intend to attempt to lure you back by dangling the baby between you two . and she 's definitely not gon na let me live long enough to break my new year 's resolutions , which is fair , because , you know , i deserve it after breaking her confidence . and if i do n't get to work , not only am i gon na be dead and remorseful , but i 'm gon na be fired , too . look , i 'm out . robin : oh , my god . patrick : i 'm sorry . robin : no , i - i should have known that it was all too good to be true -- having our family back together -- you and me and emma , a life with no complications . i was just waiting for the other shoe to drop , and ... now it has . carlos : just hear me out . why should you have to give your baby up for adoption just to make things easier on patrick ? sabrina : you do n't understand . carlos : yes , i do . you ca n't have him . so you want to protect him . this is how you 're gon na show him that you love him . you 've sacrificed enough already , querida . i know you want to have this baby . this is the way to do it . sabrina : it 's not gon na work . it 's not gon na work . because patrick 's gon na see that i 'm pregnant , and he 's gon na have questions about the timing . carlos : not if we leave port charles . morgan : what part of `` we 're through `` did you not understand last night ? because now you 're coming here to my father 's place of business , and you 're begging for me back . did you really think i was ever into you ? ava : i had that impression , yes . morgan : ava , you were my mother - in - law . okay , i was sleeping with you to get back at kiki and my dad because they screwed me over , and you just made yourself all too available . and i thought , `` wow , this is perfect . i can sleep with my wife 's mom , and then it was just bonus points that your brother happens to be a man that my father hates . okay , but sleeping with a cougar and doing business with your cold - fish brother got to be a little too much misery , so i stepped out . and then , thanks to my father , he did me , you know , a solid by telling kiki that i lied to her . because i do n't want a girl that does n't really love me . and i 'm over her . so now you need to do yourself a favor , and you need to get over me . i do n't want you now . i never wanted you then . so i need you to go . and please never come back here again . franco : michael , i understand how you feel about me . and i 've never given you any reason to believe in me . michael : yeah , you 're right . you 've never given me any reason to believe you . franco : i would never hurt your mother . kiki : calm down . he honestly seems concerned . michael : i warned her . i warned her being with you would only get her hurt , and , what , 24 hours later , she vanishes . franco : i would never hurt her . michael : yeah , like you never hurt anybody else . let 's go . kiki : do n't you think i should stay in case your mom comes back here ? michael : with franco ? kiki : franco 's not gon na hurt me . do n't worry about me , okay ? go to your dad 's house . go check there , okay ? i 'll be fine . michael : i meant what i said . if you did this , i am finally gon na make you pay . kiki : come on . love you . [ sighs ] franco : can i ask you something ? you believe me , right ? you know i 'd never do anything to hurt carly . a.j . : i - i found this . i do n't know . i guess some kids came out here . they must have been partying and left it . monica : oh , do n't insult my intelligence , a.j . i know you 've been drinking . a.j . : i have n't been drinking , mom . monica : well , then why do i smell alcohol all over you ? how could you do this , a.j . , after all that 's happened ? did n't you learn anything ? a.j . : i 'm sorry . i 'm sorry , mom . heather : neither rain nor snow nor darkness of night ... nor monica nor her wayward son will keep me from getting this to my wayward son . carly : [ sighs ] monica : come on . a.j . : where ? monica : we 're going to get rid of the booze . a.j . : all right . heather : you know ... sometimes i think that sons were born to hurt their mothers . but i can get even with mine . i have the letter you wrote ... i have the master key to the hotel ... and my gun . do n't go anywhere . i 'll be back soon . franco : michael 's mother is the best thing that 's ever happened to me . i would n't do anything to screw that up . kiki : michael 's just freaking out because he 's worried about his mom . to be honest , i think you 're both worked up over what could be nothing because there could be a logical explanation . carly could walk in the door any minute now . franco : i do n't know about that . i ca n't shake this feeling that something 's really wrong . you know , maybe someone 's out to get carly . she 's not exactly the ambassador of goodwill and -- kiki : oh , my god ! oh , my -- my mom could have something to do with this . ava : oh , you 've certainly made it clear where you stand . morgan : come on . pack it in . let 's go . ava : all right , morgan . i guess i was just hoping that there was more to this , to -- to us than this . i understand now . and make no mistake . you are on the losing side of this war . and for the record , you will never find another woman who even comes close to me . morgan : bye ! [ sighs ] julian : morgan , the little pissant went `` whee , whee , whee `` all the way home to hide behind his daddy . the kid shot max , and now he 's hiding behind sonny . come on . shawn : you gon na tell the cops about morgan ? hmm ? tell them that you were at the warehouse , armed to the teeth ? that you sent your little soldier boy carlos to take a high - school kid hostage ? or that you ordered morgan to kill his own father ? how many charges is that , hmm ? assault with a deadly weapon , kidnapping , attempted murder , conspiracy to commit murder . no , i do n't think so , jerome . but what i do think is you 're gon na stay away from my boy . one step towards tj 's direction , i swear , you wo n't live to see the light of another day . sonny : i 'm not a fan of ava 's , but you came down pretty hard on her . morgan : well , what did you want me to do ? i meant what i told you . i 'm done with her and -- and julian , so , you know , i did what i had to do . i - i 'd do anything to make up for shooting max . [ cell phone rings ] morgan : i 'm sorry . sonny : i got to get this . it 's , uh , shawn . he 's having trouble with your old boss . morgan : yeah . sonny : all right ? morgan : yeah . sonny : yeah , shawn . [ door opens ] michael : morgan , what are you doing here ? morgan : i split with the jeromes . i 'm with dad . michael : you just changed your mind , decided to come home ? was dad okay with it ? sonny : hey . so , uh ... just want you to know that morgan had some bad times with the jeromes , but he finally realizes who his real family is . i could not be any happier . so i want both of you to resolve your differences . michael : actually , right now we got a bigger problem . mom 's missing . carly : [ grunts ] monica : am i gon na find anymore bottles were left by wayward teenagers ? a.j . : no , i usually only like to hide one at a time . monica : what ? what , this has been going on for a while ? since when , a.j . ? a.j . : since i was acquitted of murdering connie . tracy , uh , left a glass of champagne on the table . monica : are you blaming this on tracy ? a.j . : [ chuckles ] come on , mom . i mean , by now you do n't know ? i 'll blame anyone . anyone but myself . tracy was , uh , she was celebrating , assuming that i was gon na be convicted , and when i turned out to be acquitted , she and luke left the room , and she left the -- the champagne there . you and kiki and michael went into the kitchen for the big celebratory dinner that i did n't deserve . flipped on the tv , and they were interviewing one of the jurors . and she said that they were all convinced that i had murdered connie , but they just did n't have enough evidence to convict . i just ... i just felt so worthless . i ... mom , i killed her . i must have . you know , i just -- i could n't deal with it , you know . i mean -- i mean , she 's dead , and you guys are making me this dinner , and i just -- i just grabbed the champagne , and i chugged it , and i have been buzzed ever since .

[ scoffs ] what are you gon na do ? patrick : i do n't know yet . okay ? we -- we do n't even know for sure if this is true . robin : well , just a wild guess -- i think it might be . patrick : okay . listen to me , okay ? i love you , all right ? this is not gon na come between us . we have spent too much time apart , and i am so happy to have you back that this is not gon na stop that . robin : patrick , it 's not just about us anymore . patrick : sabrina 's a good person . i mean , you heard felix . she did n't even want to tell us , all right ? she does n't want to come in between us . this is gon na be okay , robin . robin : how ? patrick : i just promise you , okay ? it will be . robin : [ sighs ] franco : your mother -- your lethal mother -- i should have thought of her before . kiki : i should have , too . michael and i ran in to her at the metro court yesterday , and she was all over carly . franco : ava said that carly was all over her . kiki : [ scoffs ] franco : she did . that 's what she said . and , okay , i know that this is a sensitive subject . you probably do n't want to talk about it right now , but let 's face it , morgan -- kiki : okay . no . no , no , no . carly 's just angry with ava because she 's with morgan , but that 's completely understandable . franco : carly has every right to be angry . kiki : right . franco : all right . so , maybe ava 's just retaliating . kiki : well , she was in full threat mode . franco : okay . when ? when was that ? let 's put a timeline on it . all right ? you and michael , you show up , you see that ava and carly are mixing it up . what happens next ? kiki : right . then carly led us to our table and ava left , and then that 's when you showed up . franco : okay . so , i show up , and then you all leave , all right ? and i stay at the restaurant because i 'm waiting for carly to come back or at least call , and she does n't do anything . all right . ava shows up , okay ? and she makes a point of sitting at my table and chatting me up and making it clear to me that she got into it with carly . kiki : so , what happened next ? franco : i defended carly . i let ava know that if she -- if she goes after carly , that she deserves everything she gets , and then ava left . kiki : that could be it right there . ava could be mad and went after carly . franco : it 's possible . let 's go find her . kiki : let 's go . let 's do it . franco : wait . wait . hold on a second . `` we ? `` you should stay here . you said you wanted to stay here in case carly comes back . kiki : this is not the first place carly 's going to go . franco : you 're probably right about that . kiki : right . so , let 's go talk to that lying , manipulative ... franco : scheming , cradle - robbing ... kiki : [ growls ] ... mother of mine . michael : mom invited me and kiki to lunch at the metro court to tell us that she 's dating franco . morgan : whoa . whoa , whoa , whoa . wait up . she 's -- she 's dating that psycho ? michael : she 's convinced the only reason he was dangerous is because of the brain tumor . with it gone , he 's just -- he 's a new , changed man . morgan : that 's a load of crap . michael : that 's basically what i said . i mean , i tried to warn her that franco was gon na hurt her , but she kept making all these excuses for him . and then he showed up for lunch . morgan : mikey , do n't -- please do n't tell me that you sat there like a good little boy and had lunch with that freak , because it 's one thing to coexist with the guy . it 's a whole ' nother thing to accept the fact that he 's dating our mom . michael : no . kiki and i took off . and that 's the thing . that 's the last time that i saw mom . [ sighs ] that night , i went to the house to try and talk to her , but grandma bobbie said that she had n't seen her all night . sonny : carly -- wait . carly was with franco ? michael : well , according to franco , mom left right after kiki and i left . and that she came here to talk to me . sonny : carly was here yesterday . she was looking for you . and she did tell me about franco . monica : a.j . -- a.j . , it is obvious you do n't want to talk about your drinking . a.j . : mom , i heard something . monica : okay . yes , and you 're probably right . it 's raccoons . they 're here all the time . a.j . : i think i should check it out . monica : no . you do n't have to . if they 're there , alice will take care of it . now come on . a.j . : [ sighs ] monica : now , if you ca n't remember whether or not you killed connie , why do n't you start believing that you did n't ? a.j . : do n't you think i 've tried ? i keep having this -- this fantasy in my head that somebody else went into connie 's office and shot her with the gun that i was holding . monica : well , maybe that 's exactly what happened . a.j . : oh , come on , mom ! we both know that i was the star of that security footage , right ? i mean , the only -- the only thing that was missing were the frames where i shot her . look , you know , it 's like i said . it 's a fantasy that i 'm innocent . the simple fact of the matter is -- the simple truth -- i got away with murder , and the only way that i can stop thinking about it is to stop thinking . and the only way that i can stop thinking is -- is to stay drunk or die . monica : is that what you want to do ? you want to die ? well , you will if you keep on drinking . or maybe you will just blackout and go and really kill somebody or maim them for life . my god , the least you 're gon na do is hurt the people you love . because you already have . a.j . : mom , i -- a.j . : come on . it does n't work ! it does n't work . i 've done it for years , and look at me . monica : it kept you sober . a.j . : oh , stop . until it did n't . you know , it 's useless . it 's -- it 's hopeless . monica : okay . i am done . i am done with your excuses . i 'm done with your self- pitying . you are not gon na do this again , a.j . -- not to you , not to me , and , most importantly , not to your son . you go to that meeting , a.j . , for michael 's sake . you go . michael : so , mom was here ? sonny : franco was n't lying about that much . michael : [ sighs ] do you -- do you know where she went after , by any chance ? sonny : no . she insisted that she -- you know , that she was gon na get through to you about franco , and then she -- i thought she went to track you down . michael : i never saw her . sonny : well ? morgan : well , what ? why did n't you call her or send her a text message ? michael : my -- my phone was off for most of the afternoon . i mean , kiki and i went for a hike , but i turned it back on afterwards . i had no missed calls or texts . [ sighs ] wait , dad . when mom came over here to , uh , tell you about franco , did she ... and you -- did you guys -- did you guys fight ? sonny : well , i certainly do n't think it 's a good idea for her to be going out with that psycho freak . michael : okay . did you use those words ? morgan : oh , was that not polite enough for dad to say that ? michael : no . i 'm just asking . was it -- was it an argument or were you guys , like screaming at each other ? sonny : michael , are you asking me if she stomped out here 'cause she was so upset , went straight to franco to prove me wrong ? michael : yeah . sonny : okay . we had a disagreement . we yelled a little bit -- not any more than what we usually do -- and we did n't get out of control . i told her that i thought she was lying to herself about franco , that he 's dangerous . she said i 'm entitled to my own opinion , and , yeah , i think i did push her a little bit . michael : okay . so , how ? sonny : [ sighs ] i told her that -- is franco worth losing you and if she keeps dating him , she 's gon na alienate you . and then she said , `` i 'm not gon na let that happen . `` and then she left . michael : dad , i think you might have been the last person to see mom . julian : [ sighs ] why are you still here ? shawn : wanted to make sure you heard me . julian : i heard you . shawn : and ? julian : and ... i have no interest in your kid . now ... get out of my way . sonny : you know i love your mother . she 's strong , she 's independent , but she can be impulsive and reckless . look , you have n't heard from her . that does n't -- michael : yeah , in 24 hours , i have n't heard from her . morgan : well , michael , have you called the hotel ? 'cause 24 hours -- she could have just stayed the night there . michael : she did n't a room comped . sonny : let 's not assume the worst about her and franco . that 's all i 'm saying . michael : mom would n't just take off like this without at least texting . morgan : mikey is right about that . mom would have at least texted him and let him know what she was doing . michael : look , we both know that -- that franco snowed mom into trusting him . we both know that was a huge mistake . i mean , what -- what other explanation is there for her randomly disappearing like this ? morgan : is that the plan , julian ? you 're gon na eliminate me for disloyalty ? why do n't you try ? 'cause my dad will bury you before i 've bled out . julian : who says i need to kill you ? there 's so many other options . you got , uh , your mother . sonny : where are you going ? morgan : i ca n't -- i - i ca n't -- i ca n't sit here . i got to go look for mom . michael : can your people look to this ? sonny : i do n't -- i do n't want you to think that i 'm taking this lightly , i just do n't want you and your brother overreacting , doing something you 're gon na regret . michael : it 's a little late for that . sonny : okay . you and your brother have both made mistakes . nothing that ca n't be fixed . michael : [ sighs ] like morgan coming home ? sonny : yeah . like that . michael : and leaving the jeromes . look , dad , i 'm thrilled about that , obviously , but , i mean , it was really sudden . is he seriously finished with them ? ava : [ muttering ] i know it was all an act ... but did you really have to go out your way to make me feel so ... what do you want ? what are you doing here with my daughter ? franco : we 're here to talk to you . ava : well , i think we 've covered all of our bases yesterday , franco . franco : yeah . you made yourself perfectly clear to me and kiki . ava : what do you mean you and kiki ? i never even saw the two of you together . there 's no reason that you should be together . kiki : you 're the reason . franco : you threatened carly , ava . did you make good on those threats ? monica : the only way you 're gon na turn this around , a.j . , is by dealing with your illness one day at a time the way i do . a.j . : okay . all right . there 's a lunchtime meeting downtown . monica : oh , thank you . thank you .

[ both chuckle ] nate : [ exhales sharply ] hey , sorry i 'm late . elena : no , you 're right on time . nate : i do n't know about that . did you give him the grand tour ? elena : i sure did . so , what do you think ? should we pop open a bottle of champagne and celebrate our new clinic ? devon : i think we should take one step at a time . elena : i think we should take devon outside and show the exterior so i can see how well constructed this building is . nate : back out there ? oh , no , thank you . elena : the storm got worse , huh ? nate : mm , that might be the understatement of the year . devon : really ? elena : really ? nick : so , this innocent act might work on somebody who does n't know you , but i 'm not buying it . phyllis : mm ! nick : so out with it . phyllis : all right . yeah , i have a hidden agenda . you were right . i do . and ... it , um ... you 're the man -- the only man who can help me . nick : here we go . phyllis : uh , so , you know , i have the grand phoenix now , and , um ... that 's going great . but , uh , i want to expand , and i have so many great ideas , and i just wanted to know if you still have those dark horse properties that i returned to you . nick : yeah , i heard something about abby and chelsea having to walk away from that , but i did n't any of the specifics . how exactly did that happen ? phyllis : well , it was a mutual understanding . everybody 's okay with it . nick : so you 're just leaving out the part about how you probably did something underhanded or borderline unethical to make them walk away . phyllis : huh . oh , wow . thank you for your confidence . nick : i ca n't condone this . that 's my sister . phyllis : yeah , your sister and your ex - girlfriend , and i totally understand . they 're fantastic . and guess what ? i do n't need your approval or your praise . and so i did what i came here to do , to feed you and here 's some moo shu pork and some vegetables . and definitely -- oh , you want the fortune cookies . and i will take -- no , i 'll just leave it al . there you go . that 's it . i 'll see you later . um ... bye . i 'll talk to you soon . sharon : wow . was that thunder ? mariah : it 's the perfect backdrop to the hell my life just became . i thought tessa was busy hooking up with tanner . she almost never answered my calls , and i thought she was moving on with her life . and i was so wrong . and i was selfish , which apparently is a pattern because here i am laying all of this on you when you already have so much to deal with . sharon : hey , you know , i 'm still your mother , and i care very much about you . mariah : no , i know , but ... sharon : you know , i think that tessa should have been very clear about what was or was not going on between her and tanner . especially considering everything that you 're having to handle here with me . mariah : uh ... yeah , uh , about that . sharon : you never told her about my cancer ? mariah : i tried . i wanted to , i did , but every time i -- i wanted a moment alone with tessa , tanner kept popping up . be honest with me . how badly did i screw up ? okay , next question . how do i fix this ? what do i do ? sharon : you already know the answer to that one , too . adam : let 's hear it . what hoops are you gon na make me jump through this time ? victor : victoria can not go back to work unless she has fully recovered , you know , so ... adam : mm - hmm . victor : we need to discuss what 's next for the company , what 's best . adam : what is there to discuss ? victor : we need to talk about the necessary steps that we have to take in order to protect my company . adam : okay , i came here to negotiate , so why do n't we just put all the cards out on the table ? i knew about the tremors . elena : so we 're stuck here ? nate : well , look on the bright side -- we get to find out if this building can withstand a full - on act - of - god weather crisis . strap yourselves in , kids . it 's gon na be a bumpy night . [ sighs deeply ] phyllis : oh , wow . okay . change of plans . nick : are you ever going to give me back my spare key ? phyllis : uh , no , i keep it for emergencies , and this is the biggest one of them all . nick : is it that bad outside ? phyllis : yeah , it 's horrible . i mean , it 's ice everywhere and every twig on every branch of every tree . it 's beautiful , but ... you do n't want to drive in it , so , uh , all right , go ahead and throw a log on the fire because i 'm not going anywhere . mariah : you 're right . i love tessa , and it 's up to me to try to save our relationship . she flew all of this way to see me because she loves me , or at least she used to . sharon : stay positive . adam : why -- why do i get the feeling like you 're stalling ? adam : i think we should get connor and we should go home -- victor : please . please . have a seat . have a seat . victor : this is the part where i 'm supposed to beg you to stay , is that it ? you know damn well that , in victoria 's absence while she 's recuperating , i need someone to run the company . so who 's playing games now ? adam : okay , i 'm not -- [ boom ! ] nikki : [ gasps ] what was that ? chelsea : i 'll go check on the kids . sharon : that sounded like the sky broke apart . faith : oh , my god . what was that ? what happened ? victor : yeah , kindly check it out . uh - huh . victoria : adam . what was that noise ? adam : i have no idea . nikki : the kids are all right . victor : so , wait a minute , you 're talk -- okay . thank you . that was security . apparently , the largest tree on the ranch came down . nikki : the cedar ? victor : yeah , the cedar , indeed . nikki : oh , my god . chelsea : all that noise from a tree ? victor : well , that must be a hell of a storm to bring a tree down of that size . victoria : yeah , i guess so . i can only imagine what 's happened to the other houses and power lines and trees around town . adam : well , it 's too dangerous to go out now . all we can do is hunker down . i guess we have all night to hash things out . | tessa tells mariah that she did n't sleep with tanner and mariah tells tessa she did n't sleep with lindsay but tessa does n't believe her and leave = s the apartment . mariah goes to talk to talk to sharon and after their talk mariah decides she should try to make things right with tessa and try to save their relationship . a bad snow storm traps the newmans at the ranch while adam and victor discuss adam taking over the company while victoria gets back on her feet . devon , elena , and nate get stuck at a building they are considering buying for the free clinic . nick and phyllis are stuck eating chinese food at his place where they decide to remain friends and pretend the kiss they shared at victor 's party never happened . victoria is happy reed came home for a visit but reed is angry with billy because once again he broke victoria 's heart . | <s>[INST] [ previously_on ] devon : you want to open up a new hope clinic . adam : i want to help out at newman . i want to step up . i want to take charge while victoria recovers . lindsay : is it possible that maybe tessa has a performance tonight , and she just , you know , did n't have time to get back to you ? mariah : i checked , which does n't mean that she 's not with tanner . lindsay : i do n't think you should be alone . tessa : what 's going on here ? mariah : tessa . what are you doing here ? tessa : i live here , last i checked . mariah : no , i mean -- i mean tonight . tessa : well , i thought i 'd surprise you . surprise ! it 's pretty late to be entertaining , is n't it ? mariah : well , you know me ? i 'm always entertaining . tessa : what are you doing here ? mariah : hey ! lindsay does n't owe you any explanations . tessa : true . true . yeah . [ clears throat ] but you do . victoria : you know , i do n't think that i 've experienced ever a more rousing welcome . nikki : it was like christmas morning for johnny and katie having you home again . victoria : yeah , johnny and katie , you know , they tried to talk me through a recipe for , unicorn toast . victoria : oh , no . nikki : oh , yes . well , i convince them that it would be better to greet you with a cup of hot chocolate on a night like this . i hope they did n't wear you out . victoria : no , not at all . when i was in the hospital , all i could picture were their sweet little faces . that 's the best medicine that i could ever ask for . victor : now , if that was a warm welcome , just get ready for the next one . reed : hi , mom . victoria : reed ! how did you get here ? reed : you think anything could keep me away ? victoria : [ sighs ] reed : you must be sore . can you hug ? victoria : oh ! you think i 'm gon na say no to that ? it 's just like -- it 's an answer to my prayers . rey : you know , they 're saying that this could be the worst ice storm the last 10 years . lucky for you , you have a fridge full of ginger ale and an assortment of crackers that 's gon na last you till spring . sharon : if i last that long . hey , look , you -- you hit a minor setback . all right ? you 'll get some rest , some vitamin - rich smoothies , a few good movies , and you 're gon na rally . sharon : i feel like i got hit by a truck . i am just so exhausted . i wonder if someone at victor 's party had a cold . rey : i wish there was something more i could do . sharon : no matter how much i mentally prepare myself for this or tell myself that this is going to pass and i 'll feel better , it just gets worse . and i want my body back . rey : you do look a little stronger than you did earlier . sharon : but if the doctors check my numbers and they 're not where they need to be , they might cancel my next chemo session . rey : they can do that ? sharon : and as bad as it makes me feel , i need it . phyllis : you look tired . amanda : come in . and thank you for noticing . they arrested ripley . phyllis : well , that 's great news . amanda : yeah , i -- i mean , i 'm glad that they caught him , but he was on his way back to genoa city because even though he knew that everyone was looking for him , he was determined to murder me . so , you know , that 's a little unsettling . phyllis : oh , god . that 's one hell of an understatement . amanda : so now i am -- i am vacillating between ... relief and fear and anger and ... phyllis : listen , um ... he 's behind bars , and ... you are okay . that 's all that matters , right ? devon : hey . i hope i did n't keep you waiting long . elena : oh , you know i 'd wait a lifetime for you , darling . devon : oh , that 's very , very sweet of you , honey . it 's almost sweet enough to melt the ice patches on the road out there . elena : is it that bad ? devon : yeah , it 's horrible . but i would go through whatever weather threw at me to find out with this cryptic message means . elena : cryptic ? you must mean tantalizing . devon : well , that depends on the surprise . if it 's good , it 's tantalizing . if it 's bad .... elena : what does my smile say ? devon : that you love me . elena : and do you know how hard it is to surprise you ? devon : i do . yeah . elena : and what do you get the man who has everything he 's ever wanted ? devon : what is that ? elena : this is the key that could unlock thousands of dreams . chelsea : to friendship . adam : all right . whose friendship ? because you and i , we are a little more than friends . chelsea : i am toasting our son 's new friend at school because , without him , we would be having dinner for three at home . adam : well , i will definitely drink to that . good thing he inherited his mother 's charm . chelsea : hmm . i wonder if he also inherited his mother 's expert intuition . adam : oh , you 're not using your mind - reading technique on me , are you ? chelsea : mm . right now , you are .... upset that victor did n't immediately take you up on your offer to run newman . adam : i mean , who else is he going to get ? i am the best candidate . no , i am the only candidate . i mean , abby 's got her own thing going on . nick does n't even want it . and he 's never gon na put anybody in charge whose last name is n't newman . i 'm sorry . chelsea : no , it 's -- it 's okay . adam : no , i just -- i know . i should n't let this get to me . but if my father wants to let his company fall to pieces rather than put me in charge ... let the chips fall where they may . additional sponsorship victoria : i ca n't believe that you 're actually here . it 's so good to see you in person . reed : i missed you so much . victoria : i missed you . reed : i missed all of you . nikki : i was worried that you might not make it with that ice storm that 's coming . reed : yeah , well , uncle nick fill me in on most of what 's going on , but ... victoria : oh , that 's good . i -- i really do n't feel like talking about it . reed : so , how are you doing ? really ? victoria : i 'm fine . i 'm much better now that i 'm out of the hospital and i 've got my family around me . reed : not your whole family . nick : we do n't need to talk about that right now . reed : please . i mean , dad hurt you , and you tried to keep me in the dark , and now billy 's running -- he 's running around behind your back . nick : reed . it 's not the time . reed : i just want to know how the hell billy let this happen . victoria : i ca n't talk about it . reed : his new girlfriend has a violent ex , and this happens ? he was supposed to protect you , but instead he put you in danger . victor : reed , please . no more talk of billy boy abbott . no more talk of amanda sinclair . all right ? your mother is here to recuperate , and we do n't want to open fresh wounds , all right ? you agree ? okay . i 'm sorry . victoria : it 's okay . amanda : i think i want to deal with this on my own . phyllis : okay . i 'm sorry . i come on strong . i know i do . [ sighs deeply ] sorry . you 're a lone wolf . i get it . i also want you to know that you are not the first woman to suffer at the hands of a very controlling man . amanda : yes , i -- i read all about your involvement in the j.t . hellstrom case . phyllis : yeah , i mean , i did n't go through what victoria did or what you have ... but i do know abuse . amanda : what happened to victoria because of me .... what ripley did to her -- trust me , it was way more than he 'd ever done to -- phyllis : oh , no , no , no , no , no , no . you 're not saying that , are you ? no , no , no . just because you were n't injured does not mean that you were n't a victim . you were traumatized by this man . amanda : i am fine . phyllis : no , you 're not . amanda : yes , i am . phyllis : no , you 're not . listen , i understand what you 're doing , but this guy 's behind bars and you are safe , and you do n't have to look over your shoulder anymore . be thankful for that . amanda : trust me , i am . phyllis : good . and you have worked way too hard . you 've worked way too hard to build an amazing life for yourself . please , please do n't let this guy bring you down . amanda : no . it 's been a lot for me to process , but i will bounce back . that 's what i do . phyllis : i know you will . all right . hey , listen , i 'm walking out the door , but i do n't walk out on my friends , an i want you to know that , and i will be back . amanda : is that a warning ? phyllis : that is a promise . rey : look , what you need is a good movie and a little rest , and you 'll feel better in the morning . sharon : it 's not that easy , rey . i 'm trying my best to fight this , but , no matter what i do . my body just keeps betraying me . rey : hey , look . you hit a roadblock . we just need to figure a way around it , okay ? sharon : i 'm not in control of this . if my blood cell counts are not where they need to be , the doctors may force me to take a break from chemo , and i want this cancer out of me . i want to be happy again . i want to know what to expect from my body , and i do n't want to see any more doctors , and i 'm not a baby , so just stop it . faith : mom ? rey . what 's wrong ? somebody say something . sharon : um , i just -- i had a little tantrum . faith : scale from 1 to 10 . sharon : it was a 10 , but it 's falling . i 'm sorry . sometimes i 'm not myself . rey : there 's -- there 's no need to apologize .

[ both chuckle ] nate : [ exhales sharply ] hey , sorry i 'm late . elena : no , you 're right on time . nate : i do n't know about that . did you give him the grand tour ? elena : i sure did . so , what do you think ? should we pop open a bottle of champagne and celebrate our new clinic ? devon : i think we should take one step at a time . elena : i think we should take devon outside and show the exterior so i can see how well constructed this building is . nate : back out there ? oh , no , thank you . elena : the storm got worse , huh ? nate : mm , that might be the understatement of the year . devon : really ? elena : really ? nick : so , this innocent act might work on somebody who does n't know you , but i 'm not buying it . phyllis : mm ! nick : so out with it . phyllis : all right . yeah , i have a hidden agenda . you were right . i do . and ... it , um ... you 're the man -- the only man who can help me . nick : here we go . phyllis : uh , so , you know , i have the grand phoenix now , and , um ... that 's going great . but , uh , i want to expand , and i have so many great ideas , and i just wanted to know if you still have those dark horse properties that i returned to you . nick : yeah , i heard something about abby and chelsea having to walk away from that , but i did n't any of the specifics . how exactly did that happen ? phyllis : well , it was a mutual understanding . everybody 's okay with it . nick : so you 're just leaving out the part about how you probably did something underhanded or borderline unethical to make them walk away . phyllis : huh . oh , wow . thank you for your confidence . nick : i ca n't condone this . that 's my sister . phyllis : yeah , your sister and your ex - girlfriend , and i totally understand . they 're fantastic . and guess what ? i do n't need your approval or your praise . and so i did what i came here to do , to feed you and here 's some moo shu pork and some vegetables . and definitely -- oh , you want the fortune cookies . and i will take -- no , i 'll just leave it al . there you go . that 's it . i 'll see you later . um ... bye . i 'll talk to you soon . sharon : wow . was that thunder ? mariah : it 's the perfect backdrop to the hell my life just became . i thought tessa was busy hooking up with tanner . she almost never answered my calls , and i thought she was moving on with her life . and i was so wrong . and i was selfish , which apparently is a pattern because here i am laying all of this on you when you already have so much to deal with . sharon : hey , you know , i 'm still your mother , and i care very much about you . mariah : no , i know , but ... sharon : you know , i think that tessa should have been very clear about what was or was not going on between her and tanner . especially considering everything that you 're having to handle here with me . mariah : uh ... yeah , uh , about that . sharon : you never told her about my cancer ? mariah : i tried . i wanted to , i did , but every time i -- i wanted a moment alone with tessa , tanner kept popping up . be honest with me . how badly did i screw up ? okay , next question . how do i fix this ? what do i do ? sharon : you already know the answer to that one , too . adam : let 's hear it . what hoops are you gon na make me jump through this time ? victor : victoria can not go back to work unless she has fully recovered , you know , so ... adam : mm - hmm . victor : we need to discuss what 's next for the company , what 's best . adam : what is there to discuss ? victor : we need to talk about the necessary steps that we have to take in order to protect my company . adam : okay , i came here to negotiate , so why do n't we just put all the cards out on the table ? i knew about the tremors . elena : so we 're stuck here ? nate : well , look on the bright side -- we get to find out if this building can withstand a full - on act - of - god weather crisis . strap yourselves in , kids . it 's gon na be a bumpy night . [ sighs deeply ] phyllis : oh , wow . okay . change of plans . nick : are you ever going to give me back my spare key ? phyllis : uh , no , i keep it for emergencies , and this is the biggest one of them all . nick : is it that bad outside ? phyllis : yeah , it 's horrible . i mean , it 's ice everywhere and every twig on every branch of every tree . it 's beautiful , but ... you do n't want to drive in it , so , uh , all right , go ahead and throw a log on the fire because i 'm not going anywhere . mariah : you 're right . i love tessa , and it 's up to me to try to save our relationship . she flew all of this way to see me because she loves me , or at least she used to . sharon : stay positive . adam : why -- why do i get the feeling like you 're stalling ? adam : i think we should get connor and we should go home -- victor : please . please . have a seat . have a seat . victor : this is the part where i 'm supposed to beg you to stay , is that it ? you know damn well that , in victoria 's absence while she 's recuperating , i need someone to run the company . so who 's playing games now ? adam : okay , i 'm not -- [ boom ! ] nikki : [ gasps ] what was that ? chelsea : i 'll go check on the kids . sharon : that sounded like the sky broke apart . faith : oh , my god . what was that ? what happened ? victor : yeah , kindly check it out . uh - huh . victoria : adam . what was that noise ? adam : i have no idea . nikki : the kids are all right . victor : so , wait a minute , you 're talk -- okay . thank you . that was security . apparently , the largest tree on the ranch came down . nikki : the cedar ? victor : yeah , the cedar , indeed . nikki : oh , my god . chelsea : all that noise from a tree ? victor : well , that must be a hell of a storm to bring a tree down of that size . victoria : yeah , i guess so . i can only imagine what 's happened to the other houses and power lines and trees around town . adam : well , it 's too dangerous to go out now . all we can do is hunker down . i guess we have all night to hash things out .Summarize.[/INST]tessa tells mariah that she did n't sleep with tanner and mariah tells tessa she did n't sleep with lindsay but tessa does n't believe her and leave = s the apartment . mariah goes to talk to talk to sharon and after their talk mariah decides she should try to make things right with tessa and try to save their relationship . a bad snow storm traps the newmans at the ranch while adam and victor discuss adam taking over the company while victoria gets back on her feet . devon , elena , and nate get stuck at a building they are considering buying for the free clinic . nick and phyllis are stuck eating chinese food at his place where they decide to remain friends and pretend the kiss they shared at victor 's party never happened . victoria is happy reed came home for a visit but reed is angry with billy because once again he broke victoria 's heart .</s> | 16,551 |
fox : i have to get miguel out of kay 's life before i lose her kay : miguel , no , i am engaged to fox . miguel : but you 're in love with me . i know you are . siren : talk about nerve . what if fox walked in and saw them ? maybe he does n't have to . siren : what is that earthling cliche about a picture being worth a thousand words ? i 'd say this one is worth 1001 . siren : even better , maybe fox can catch the show for himself . fancy : hey , um , well , i should get going . chris : you do n't need to rush off . fancy : did you get james to sleep ? chris : yeah , he fell asleep in the middle of a list of favorite ice creams . fancy : oh , he 's a great kid . chris : yeah , he is . you know , sheridan usually is the one that tucks him in . i 'm kind of surprised she 's not home yet . fancy : i 'm sure she will be soon . do n't tell me you 're worrying about sheridan and luis . chris : maybe we can take turns . fancy : hmm . chris : you know , it 's tough sometimes though . you move to a town like this and everybody seems to talk about how much in love luis and sheridan were . fancy : hmm , yeah . harmony 's very own romeo and juliet . but she chose you , chris . chris : i know . it 's probably just because i lost my first wife , and , i do n't know , it just makes me more fearful that something could happen to sheridan . fancy : you ca n't think that way , chris . you told me that not two hours ago . sheridan 's made it very clear to luis and everyone that she 's moved on . you 're her husband and she thinks of james as her own son . she 's not going to do anything to break up her family . she 's over luis . luis : sheridan . sheridan , wait ! sheridan . sheridan : i have to go home , luis . luis : not like this you do n't . do you understand how much i love you ? do you understand you ca n't run away from something that 's so deep inside you ? stop it . why do n't you stop this madness and come back to me where you belong . gwen : jared . jared : gwen . gwen : i 'm looking for ethan . jared : that 's funny . i ca n't find theresa . she was supposed to come to my office and she never showed up . gwen : really , 'cause i thought ethan was supposed to meet you and theresa and go over the lawsuit . jared : well , that 's news to me . i know what you 're thinking . gwen : yeah , if you 'd lived through the past few years , you 'd be thinking the same thing . jared : she 's over him . and if she was n't before the lawsuit , she is now . war has been declared . gwen : well , you never know with those two . although i am completely suffering from post - traumatic stress disorder . jared : it must have been tough . gwen : jared , words ca n't even describe it . jared : well , then there 's nothing left to do but look for 'em and reassure ourselves that they 're not together . gwen : is n't that chris ' office ? jared : yeah . i do n't know if he 's working this late . gwen : maybe he 's seen theresa and ethan . jared : yeah . chris ? it 's jared casey . any chance you 've seen theresa or ethan in the last hour or so ? jared : chris ? fox : kay ? siren : here come the fireworks . kay : hey . fox : hey . siren 's voice : crud , she must have heard him coming . kay : what are you doing back so soon ? i thought you were going to work . fox : hey , well , ca n't a guy in love change his mind ? figured i 'd rather spend it with my little bride - to - be . siren 's voice : boy , she 's good at dodging bullets . fancy : did you have a fire lit earlier ? chris : no , why ? fancy : somebody did . chris : what are you looking at ? fancy : i guess it was sheridan who made the fire . it looks like she 's burned up all these mementos of her and luis . chris : so she did . fancy : well , if that does n't prove she 's serious about being totally committed to you , i do n't know what does . she does n't want anything in her life to remind her of luis . it proves she 's completely over him . sheridan : i ca n't do this , luis . i 'm a married woman . luis : and you 're married to the wrong man . you love me . i know you do . i can feel it when you kiss me . sheridan : it 's not what you think it is . i just kissed you because i was tired . you caught me off - guard . i did n't know what i was doing . luis : come on , you expect me to believe that ? nothing 's changed between us . our love is too strong . there 's nothing that is going to tear us apart . sheridan : it does n't matter that i love you . luis : oh , so you admit it ? sheridan : what difference does it make ? i 'm still married to chris . i 'm a mother to james . we 're a family . we have to stay a family . luis : and you and i were a family first . sheridan : we had our chance , luis , and we lost it . i 'm sorry , but that 's what happened . and there 's nothing in the world that can change that . luis : that 's not true . sheridan , we can make things right again . we still have another chance . sheridan : i have a chance with chris , and you have one with fancy . she 's crazy about you . luis : i like fancy , i do . but still , i love you . sheridan : oh , stop saying that . you 're making it so much harder . what is it going to take for you to realize that we 're not meant to be ? luis : nothing . i 'm never going to accept that . sheridan : how many times have we tried and failed ? how many fights do we have to have ? how many tears do we have to cry ? i 'm tired . as much as i love you , i 'm tired . we 're lucky , luis . we 're lucky we survived a relationship that almost killed us . and i 'm lucky that i found a man that cares about me -- chris . and i 'm even more fortunate to be a mother to his son that i love as if he was my own . luis : i know . but you know we -- sheridan : and now you have another chance at life and love with my niece , fancy . luis : i love you . sheridan : but it does n't matter . we have to walk away from each other . it 's the only hope we have of ever finding happiness again . jared : you in there , chris ? gwen and i are looking for theresa and ethan . ethan : god . theresa : i think that we should just let them see us together . ethan : are you out of your mind ? theresa : no , no , no , i 'm not out of my mind . i think that they should know that we are together now -- ethan : theresa . theresa : and that we 're not going to let anything stand in our way now , ethan . you know what ? yeah , i 'm into- ethan : no you 're not . no , you 're not doing that . theresa : just tell me why first . theresa : i 'll you why , because i 'm married to gwen and i 'm not leaving her . theresa : no , no . no , no , no , no , no , no , no . you ca n't just -- you ca n't just make love to me , ethan , and then say that you 're going to stay with another woman . ethan : she 's not another woman , she 's my wife out there . theresa : a wife who does n't make you feel the way i do . and that is obvious . so why ca n't you just be man enough to admit that ? ethan : i 'm just trying to do the right thing . theresa : then do the right thing , ethan . stop cheating ethan and please be honest . tell her the truth . theresa : and just break her heart , just crush every dream she 's ever -- just -- just crush her , theresa ? theresa : what about my heart ? it 's ok for you to break my hopes and my dreams ? why do you do this to me ? gwen : do you hear anything ? jared : i thought i did , but i do n't now . gwen : the light 's still on . jared : chris . well , it 's locked . gwen : do you have a key ? jared : no , it 's all done by a security code there . i think i remember it from accounting . it 's three , five , seven . ethan : oh , my god . theresa : it looks you wo n't have to tell gwen about us . she 's about to see us with her own eyes . theresa : look , i know that you do n't want to hurt gwen , but it is better this way . no more lies . no more covering up how you 'll be . ok , so it is going to be rough at first , but you do n't love her the way that you love me , everything is going to start getting better . gwen : i thought you knew the code . jared : well , i thought i did , too . it 's probably backwards . seven , five , three . gwen : is it theresa ? jared : no , i 'm wanted in the office . it 's probably valerie telling me theresa 's waiting for me . gwen : yeah , what about chris then ? jared : he went home . it was probably just our imaginations that we heard voices . i do n't hear anything now . gwen : i 'll just feel a whole lot better when i find ethan and you find theresa and hopefully they 're not together . jared : gwen , cut it out . being paranoid about the two of them is n't going to help your marriage or my relationship , which , as far as i know , is going great . gwen : jared , i would love to be as confident as you are . but i 've seen the two of them go back and forth with each other for years . i just do n't know if i can trust that they 're over each other . jared : well , i do n't think either one of us have anything to worry about . and if it 'll make you feel any better , why do n't you come back with me to my office and you could see theresa 's waiting there for me , all by herself . gwen : ok . jared : ok ? let 's go . ethan : i think they 're leaving . theresa : you ca n't put this off forever , ethan . i do n't know how you can stand to be so hypocritical . ethan : hypocrite -- i 'm not . theresa : come on , ethan . you ca n't just make passionate love to me and then say , not two minutes later , that you have to stay married to gwen . ethan : well , i should n't have made love to you . and i took a vow to be gwen 's husband . theresa , i -- theresa : a vow that you break every opportunity you get . does n't that tell you something ? ethan : yeah , it tells me something . it tells me i 'm a bad husband . it tells me i 'm weak . and it tells me that i need to be a better man . theresa : you really do n't get it , do you ? this is n't about gwen . this is about you , ethan . this is about how you feel , what 's in your heart . you made a mistake when you married gwen , ethan . it 's the kind of mistake that 's hard to admit , much less do something about . ethan : it 's just -- it 's just impossible , theresa . theresa : if you do n't see it that way , it 's not . it 's ok , ethan . people get divorces . and yeah , it 's unpleasant , but sometimes that 's the best solution all the way around . you can right the wrong that you made the day that you walked down the aisle with gwen instead of me . it 's not right to stay married to a woman that you do n't love . it 's right to be a family with me , little ethan , and jane . please do the right thing . fox : darling , have you told our friends that we 're moving up the wedding date ? kay : fox , you know , we just decided earlier , so i have n't really had the chance . siren 's voice : oh , she 's had the chance , all right . she 's just been tied up making out with miguel . fox : well , it 's true . kay 's made me the happiest guy on earth . we 're going to get married as soon as we can get all the arrangements together . c ' to start our lives siren : what can i say ? fox : congratulations . miguel ? miguel : best of luck . siren 's voice : i think you 're going to need it , fox . fox : well , if you 'll excuse us , we 're going to head upstairs . there are some things that ca n't wait for the honeymoon . kay : fox . fox : kay , do n't be shy . we 're all but married anyway . i 'm sure miguel and siren can appreciate our feelings for each other . siren 's voice : should i show fox or not ? hmm , let 's see . what does kay deserve ? fancy : this has to prove it to you , chris . sheridan meant it when she told you she 's putting her relationship with luis in the past . she 's literally burned it to ashes . chris : i wonder . fancy : why ? how could she make it any clearer ? chris : what if sheridan felt the need to burn all these mementos because she ca n't think of anything but luis ? what if she 's desperately trying to get him out of her mind but ca n't because her love for him is too deep ? fancy : that 's what i call looking at the glass half empty . chris : i know , but it 's just that i love her so much . i do n't know what i 'd do if she were n't over luis . luis : the only way i 'll be truly happy is with you . sheridan : you can be happy with fancy , luis . you just have to let it happen . luis : no . sheridan : stop fighting it . she loves you . i see the way she looks at you . she 'll be good for you . luis : i like fancy , i really do . but it 's just completely different from the way that i feel about you . i love you . it 's not going to change . sheridan : but it 's got to , because i ca n't leave chris . he 's probably wondering where i am . i should go . luis : no , no , no . not yet . sheridan : i have to . luis , what happened tonight , kissing you , it was a slip . it was a mistake . i have to honor my commitment to my husband . luis : you just admitted that you love me . sheridan : please do n't make this any more difficult than it is . if you really love me the way you say you love me , help me . you have to let me go . luis : no . sheridan . sheridan , come back here , please . fe t dorian : hmm . rex : look , do n't think that i 'm sad about dorian being arrested . and you seem to be ok with it , too , but i know you better . kay 's voice : what 's she smiling about ? siren 's voice : the photo can wait . while fox is upstairs with kay , i can move in on miguel . kay : fox , what are you doing ? fox : have n't you ever seen `` gone with the wind `` ? i 'm taking you to bed , scarlet . kay : ok , put me down . fox : i will , once we 're in bed . siren : no ! fox : oh , i 'll get it . siren : no , no , fox , wait . chris : you know , you 're right . there 's no reason for me to be so negative about sheridan and luis . fancy : exactly . chris : you know , i should believe her when she tells me that she loves me . fancy : you 're an incredible man , too , chris . i just meant -- chris : i know what you meant . luis is every woman 's dreamboat . fancy : mine at least . i want things to work out between us so much . sheridan : sorry i 'm so late tonight . fancy , what are you doing here ? fancy : chris and i met up in town . we came back to the estate together . sheridan : that 's nice . chris : so where have you been ? you know , i went out looking for you . sheridan : oh , i , um , i went for a walk to clear my head . chris : oh , is everything all right ? sheridan : everything 's fine now that i 'm home with you . luis : is that really what you want , sheridan ? jared : well , i 'm sorry i dragged you all the way back to my office with me . gwen : i was really hoping you 'd find theresa there . jared : yeah , me , too . gwen : you know , i know you do n't want to hear it , but having the two of them missing together ... theresa : you really can have it all . ethan : theresa . theresa : ethan , it 's going to be rough at first . but then it 'll just be you , me , little ethan , and jane . it 's going to be paradise . ethan : theresa , i ca n't . i just ca n't . theresa : no . ethan : i 'm married to gwen . and i got -- i got to try to be loyal . theresa : and how is that working out for you ? you know , the loyalty part . ethan : not too well , theresa do n't do this to me , please . theresa : is this how you want to spend the rest of your life ? you know , acting like everything is just hunky - dory at home with gwen , and sneaking out to make love to me ? ethan : no . theresa : do you want to cheat on her ? ethan : absolutely not . and it 's not going to happen again . it 's not going to happen again . theresa : and how many times have you said that to me , ethan ? how many times two , three , 10 , 100 ? ethan : all right , enough . theresa : i 'll never have enough of you . the same way you will never have enough of me . and that 's why you staying married to gwen is so wrong . because you 're not only cheating on your wife , you 're cheating on your heart . theresa : well , why do n't you just stop trying to do the impossible ? do you honestly think that you can stay away from me ? because i do n't . all those years that everyone said that i was the one who was hanging on to the fantasy of being with you , it was you all along . you 're the one who ca n't let me go . you 're the one who ca n't get me out of your mind . in those last moments before you fall asleep at night . in those first moments when you awaken in the morning . and i know i am in your dreams . and i know exactly what we 're doing in your dreams . ethan : do n't . do n't . theresa : when are you going to stop fighting what you want more than anything in this world ? make love to me . make love to me and never stop . you ' trying to cover up how you really feel about it , are n't you ? kay : fox , what is it ? siren 's voice : your comeuppance , kay . it has some crazy angle . the phone must have taken it in the air . that 's a beautiful shot of me and my baby in a pre - marital smooch . siren 's voice : i just hope it did n't erase the one i took before it . siren : thanks , fox . fox : well , at least it 's not broken . all right , now me and my lady are going upstairs . nobody disturb us . not for anything . and we 'll see you in the morning . maybe . come on . miguel : if i did n't know any better , i 'd think fox knew how i felt about kay . siren : anything wrong , miguel ? miguel : tired , that 's all . siren : you look so wound up , so tense . i know just how to make you relax . fox : finally alone at last , huh ? kay : right . fox : is there something wrong ? kay : no , no , i was just thinking , you know , you never did tell me why you decided to change your mind and not work late tonight . fox : are you disappointed that i decided to come home and be with you ? kay : no , no , i 'm just surprised . fox : well then , the truth is theresa and ethan changed my mind . when i got to work , i overheard the two of them talking . kay : about us ? fox : no . kay : then what ? fox : theresa was saying how much she regretted the fact that ethan and gwen remained close after they first got engaged . kay : well , how could she have stopped it ? i mean , they had a lot of history together . they were engaged first . fox : still , theresa blames their continuing friendship for the fact that they never managed to get married . kay : this is about miguel , is n't it ? fox : what ? kay : you 're worried that if i spend too much time with him , that it 's going to ruin our engagement . fox : where did you come up with an idea like that ? kay : i do n't know . i mean , it just sounded -- fox : you are way out in left field . when i heard theresa and ethan talking , it just -- it made me realize how precious and how fleeting that true love is . and it made me realize it was more important to be with you tonight than trying to catch up on work . kay : are you sure this is n't about miguel ? fox : yes , i 'm sure it 's not about miguel . why would it be , unless there 's something going on between the two of you that i do n't know about . kay : no , no , of course not . fox : i trust you , kay . and i hope that we can trust each other . kay : absolutely . fox : honesty is the only way that this relationship is going to thrive . are you sure there 's nothing you want to tell me about ? luis : what are you doing , sheridan ? i know you still love me . sheridan : and he went right to sleep ? chris : yeah , even before i finished the bit about where robin hood saves maid marian from the sheriff of nottingham . sheridan : i wish i could have been there to tuck him in . fancy : i 've got to go . sheridan : already ? fancy : yeah , it 's late . i 'll see you soon , ok ? sheridan : all right . maybe tomorrow . fancy : mm , what is that perfume you 're wearing ? is it new ? sheridan : a friend sent it to me from paris . you can borrow it any time . fancy : thank you , i will . good night , chris . chris : thanks for everything . fancy : mm - hmm . chris : take care . fancy : you , too . chris : i wanted to ask you something . sheridan : what 's that ? chris : i saw the embers in the fireplace . sheridan : oh . chris : why were you burning the mementos of luis ? sheridan : because they 're not important anymore . chris : is it that , or is it that you just ca n't get him out of your mind ? sheridan , is there a part of you that 's still in love with luis even though you 're married to me ? luis : look me in the eyes and tell me that i 'm not the love of your life . sheridan : i ca n't say that , because you are the love of my life . chris : i need to know , sheridan . do you still love luis ? fox : i know that i 've been completely up front with you kay : i never said you were n't . fox : and i 'm assuming it 's the same way with you . unless there 's something that you 're holding out on me about . kay : no , no , of course not . i love you . fox : god , i love you , too , babe . fox : what ? kay : you know , i was just thinking , it would be nice to have a little glass of wine before we go to bed , so -- fox : fine . i know exactly where tabitha keeps it . i 'll go get it . kay : no , that 's ok , no , no , no . you stay here . i 'm going to go get it . i 'll be right back . miguel : whoa , whoa , whoa . siren : i 'm part fish , not horse . what 's wrong ? miguel : siren , you know what 's wrong . me and you are not like that anymore . look , i want to be friends , but you ca n't just -- siren : all i was doing was trying to help you relax . miguel : uh - huh . siren : honest . you do n't have to treat me like yesterday 's newspaper . miguel : i 'm sorry if i hurt your feelings , ok ? i just want to make things clear . siren : [ singing siren song ] kay 's voice : oh , no . i was sure that reverse spell worked . miguel : do you mind ? siren : oh , what ? miguel : no offense , but if i were you , i would n't audition for `` america 's got talent `` when they come to harmony . kay : i should n't care what miguel does . fox is my fiancé . still . miguel : hey , what are you doing ? gwen : maybe they have been in chris ' office together this entire time . jared : that 's crazy . what would they be ... you know , there 's a bunch of other offices we have n't even checked . maybe ethan 's down in his office . gwen : ok , look , i 'm going to go check and if i do n't find him , i 'll just meet you back at chris ' office , ok ? jared : all right . theresa : see ? you ca n't deny it now . we belong together . kay : thank you . fox : to me . kay : what about `` to us `` ? fox : this toast is for me . may the luck i 've had finding the woman of my dreams and capturing her hold out forever and ever . kay : i 'm not crazy about the word `` capture , `` but for you , i will drink to your toast anyway . fox : it 's true though . i do n't know what i 'd ever do if -- if i lost you . kay : fox , why do you say things like that ? fox : maybe it 's because i sometimes doubt if i deserve somebody as perfect as you . kay : i 'm far from perfect , fox . fox : you are to me . you 're my angel . you are my love . you are my life . now that i 've found you , i 'll never let you go . never . miguel : you never heard that no means no , siren ? siren : i thought that was only for women . miguel : no , it 's -- it 's across the board , ok ? you used to think i was cute and sexy . miguel : you still are . siren : just not enough for you ? miguel : look , it 's not that , ok ? it 's just i have ... siren : i know what it is . miguel : i do n't think so . siren : want to bet ? i did n't want to have to show you this , but it seems you 've left me no choice . good , it 's still there . miguel : how could you do something like that , siren ? siren : i would n't act so indignant about what i did . you 're the one making out with some other man 's fiancée . miguel : erase the picture . siren : that 's not exactly what i had in mind . miguel : erase the picture , siren . damn it , what do you want from me , siren ? siren : i told you what i want . everyone 's got needs . miguel : you 're going to blackmail me into having sex with you ? siren : well , maybe fox will want me after i show him this picture of you and his fiancée kissing . miguel : oh , that is low . siren : then do n't make me show fox the picture . make love to me , miguel . miguel : forget it . go upstairs . go show fox the picture . be my guest . luis : she admits she still loves me , and then she runs home to chris . how am i supposed to deal with that ? fancy : luis . hey . luis : hey . fancy : you -- you want to go get some coffee ? the book cafe is not far . luis : you know the rules . no dating between police officers and recruits . fancy : a cup of coffee is not a date . we can bend the rules a little bit , ca n't we ? luis : no , we ca n't . fancy : hey , i like you and i think you like me . and i know when a stupid rule is meant to be broken . fancy : wait , that 's sheridan 's perfume . you -- you were with her tonight , were n't you ? damn it , luis , she 's married . are you ever going to get over her ? chris : talk to me , sheridan . i need to know how you feel . sheridan : my heart belongs to you . all of it . i love you and i love being married to you . chris : you do n't know how relieved that makes me feel . sheridan : was that james ? chris : he 's probably talking in his sleep again . i 'll go check on him . then we 're going to go to bed . and i 'm going to show you how sheridan : i ca n't wait . sheridan : my last vestige of my life with luis . i ca n't destroy it . it 's all i have left of him . theresa : tell me that you want me . ethan : god , help me , i want you more than i 've ever wanted anyone . jared : well , i gather you did n't run into ethan . gwen : he has n't been back downstairs . jared : maybe you 're right . maybe they 've been in chris ' office all along . gwen : damn it . they 're probably just working on stuff . god knows there 's enough accounting issues in this -- in this lawsuit . there 're probably just going over financial rights . gwen : this is the only office we have n't been into . jared : well , i got the right so i guess we 'll find out . ivy : sam loves me . kay : then you just keep your little mouth shut . fancy : since you 're still in love with sheridan | ethan and theresa were making love again when jared and gwen came looking for them . the door was locked and jared could n't remember the code , so they went away without finding them , but ethan was ready to run back to gwen before he got in trouble . theresa wanted to tell them both the truth , once and for all , then blasted ethan for his wimpy ways , and wanting to stay married to gwen while keeping theresa around , too . she said they either tell the truth or end it . ethan , as usual , is vascillating , and then begins making love to her all over again . jared and gwen return after not finding them anywhere else , and this time he has the code in hand . kay and miguel were making out in the living room until fox showed up . siren got a picture of them , and wondered whether to show fox or not , then decided not to until she can bag miguel . fox took kay upstairs and talked about how they have to be honest with each other . she agreed , but did n't tell him the truth about miguel , and does n't seem to know which man she really wants . miguel rebuffed siren 's advances and then found the picture on her phone . when she said she 's show fox if miguel does n't sleep with her , miguel was more than happy to let her do just that . | <s>[INST] fox : i have to get miguel out of kay 's life before i lose her kay : miguel , no , i am engaged to fox . miguel : but you 're in love with me . i know you are . siren : talk about nerve . what if fox walked in and saw them ? maybe he does n't have to . siren : what is that earthling cliche about a picture being worth a thousand words ? i 'd say this one is worth 1001 . siren : even better , maybe fox can catch the show for himself . fancy : hey , um , well , i should get going . chris : you do n't need to rush off . fancy : did you get james to sleep ? chris : yeah , he fell asleep in the middle of a list of favorite ice creams . fancy : oh , he 's a great kid . chris : yeah , he is . you know , sheridan usually is the one that tucks him in . i 'm kind of surprised she 's not home yet . fancy : i 'm sure she will be soon . do n't tell me you 're worrying about sheridan and luis . chris : maybe we can take turns . fancy : hmm . chris : you know , it 's tough sometimes though . you move to a town like this and everybody seems to talk about how much in love luis and sheridan were . fancy : hmm , yeah . harmony 's very own romeo and juliet . but she chose you , chris . chris : i know . it 's probably just because i lost my first wife , and , i do n't know , it just makes me more fearful that something could happen to sheridan . fancy : you ca n't think that way , chris . you told me that not two hours ago . sheridan 's made it very clear to luis and everyone that she 's moved on . you 're her husband and she thinks of james as her own son . she 's not going to do anything to break up her family . she 's over luis . luis : sheridan . sheridan , wait ! sheridan . sheridan : i have to go home , luis . luis : not like this you do n't . do you understand how much i love you ? do you understand you ca n't run away from something that 's so deep inside you ? stop it . why do n't you stop this madness and come back to me where you belong . gwen : jared . jared : gwen . gwen : i 'm looking for ethan . jared : that 's funny . i ca n't find theresa . she was supposed to come to my office and she never showed up . gwen : really , 'cause i thought ethan was supposed to meet you and theresa and go over the lawsuit . jared : well , that 's news to me . i know what you 're thinking . gwen : yeah , if you 'd lived through the past few years , you 'd be thinking the same thing . jared : she 's over him . and if she was n't before the lawsuit , she is now . war has been declared . gwen : well , you never know with those two . although i am completely suffering from post - traumatic stress disorder . jared : it must have been tough . gwen : jared , words ca n't even describe it . jared : well , then there 's nothing left to do but look for 'em and reassure ourselves that they 're not together . gwen : is n't that chris ' office ? jared : yeah . i do n't know if he 's working this late . gwen : maybe he 's seen theresa and ethan . jared : yeah . chris ? it 's jared casey . any chance you 've seen theresa or ethan in the last hour or so ? jared : chris ? fox : kay ? siren : here come the fireworks . kay : hey . fox : hey . siren 's voice : crud , she must have heard him coming . kay : what are you doing back so soon ? i thought you were going to work . fox : hey , well , ca n't a guy in love change his mind ? figured i 'd rather spend it with my little bride - to - be . siren 's voice : boy , she 's good at dodging bullets . fancy : did you have a fire lit earlier ? chris : no , why ? fancy : somebody did . chris : what are you looking at ? fancy : i guess it was sheridan who made the fire . it looks like she 's burned up all these mementos of her and luis . chris : so she did . fancy : well , if that does n't prove she 's serious about being totally committed to you , i do n't know what does . she does n't want anything in her life to remind her of luis . it proves she 's completely over him . sheridan : i ca n't do this , luis . i 'm a married woman . luis : and you 're married to the wrong man . you love me . i know you do . i can feel it when you kiss me . sheridan : it 's not what you think it is . i just kissed you because i was tired . you caught me off - guard . i did n't know what i was doing . luis : come on , you expect me to believe that ? nothing 's changed between us . our love is too strong . there 's nothing that is going to tear us apart . sheridan : it does n't matter that i love you . luis : oh , so you admit it ? sheridan : what difference does it make ? i 'm still married to chris . i 'm a mother to james . we 're a family . we have to stay a family . luis : and you and i were a family first . sheridan : we had our chance , luis , and we lost it . i 'm sorry , but that 's what happened . and there 's nothing in the world that can change that . luis : that 's not true . sheridan , we can make things right again . we still have another chance . sheridan : i have a chance with chris , and you have one with fancy . she 's crazy about you . luis : i like fancy , i do . but still , i love you . sheridan : oh , stop saying that . you 're making it so much harder . what is it going to take for you to realize that we 're not meant to be ? luis : nothing . i 'm never going to accept that . sheridan : how many times have we tried and failed ? how many fights do we have to have ? how many tears do we have to cry ? i 'm tired . as much as i love you , i 'm tired . we 're lucky , luis . we 're lucky we survived a relationship that almost killed us . and i 'm lucky that i found a man that cares about me -- chris . and i 'm even more fortunate to be a mother to his son that i love as if he was my own . luis : i know . but you know we -- sheridan : and now you have another chance at life and love with my niece , fancy . luis : i love you . sheridan : but it does n't matter . we have to walk away from each other . it 's the only hope we have of ever finding happiness again . jared : you in there , chris ? gwen and i are looking for theresa and ethan . ethan : god . theresa : i think that we should just let them see us together . ethan : are you out of your mind ? theresa : no , no , no , i 'm not out of my mind . i think that they should know that we are together now -- ethan : theresa . theresa : and that we 're not going to let anything stand in our way now , ethan . you know what ? yeah , i 'm into- ethan : no you 're not . no , you 're not doing that . theresa : just tell me why first . theresa : i 'll you why , because i 'm married to gwen and i 'm not leaving her . theresa : no , no . no , no , no , no , no , no , no . you ca n't just -- you ca n't just make love to me , ethan , and then say that you 're going to stay with another woman . ethan : she 's not another woman , she 's my wife out there . theresa : a wife who does n't make you feel the way i do . and that is obvious . so why ca n't you just be man enough to admit that ? ethan : i 'm just trying to do the right thing . theresa : then do the right thing , ethan . stop cheating ethan and please be honest . tell her the truth . theresa : and just break her heart , just crush every dream she 's ever -- just -- just crush her , theresa ? theresa : what about my heart ? it 's ok for you to break my hopes and my dreams ? why do you do this to me ? gwen : do you hear anything ? jared : i thought i did , but i do n't now . gwen : the light 's still on . jared : chris . well , it 's locked . gwen : do you have a key ? jared : no , it 's all done by a security code there . i think i remember it from accounting . it 's three , five , seven . ethan : oh , my god . theresa : it looks you wo n't have to tell gwen about us . she 's about to see us with her own eyes . theresa : look , i know that you do n't want to hurt gwen , but it is better this way . no more lies . no more covering up how you 'll be . ok , so it is going to be rough at first , but you do n't love her the way that you love me , everything is going to start getting better . gwen : i thought you knew the code . jared : well , i thought i did , too . it 's probably backwards . seven , five , three . gwen : is it theresa ? jared : no , i 'm wanted in the office . it 's probably valerie telling me theresa 's waiting for me . gwen : yeah , what about chris then ? jared : he went home . it was probably just our imaginations that we heard voices . i do n't hear anything now . gwen : i 'll just feel a whole lot better when i find ethan and you find theresa and hopefully they 're not together . jared : gwen , cut it out . being paranoid about the two of them is n't going to help your marriage or my relationship , which , as far as i know , is going great . gwen : jared , i would love to be as confident as you are . but i 've seen the two of them go back and forth with each other for years . i just do n't know if i can trust that they 're over each other . jared : well , i do n't think either one of us have anything to worry about . and if it 'll make you feel any better , why do n't you come back with me to my office and you could see theresa 's waiting there for me , all by herself . gwen : ok . jared : ok ? let 's go . ethan : i think they 're leaving . theresa : you ca n't put this off forever , ethan . i do n't know how you can stand to be so hypocritical . ethan : hypocrite -- i 'm not . theresa : come on , ethan . you ca n't just make passionate love to me and then say , not two minutes later , that you have to stay married to gwen . ethan : well , i should n't have made love to you . and i took a vow to be gwen 's husband . theresa , i -- theresa : a vow that you break every opportunity you get . does n't that tell you something ? ethan : yeah , it tells me something . it tells me i 'm a bad husband . it tells me i 'm weak . and it tells me that i need to be a better man . theresa : you really do n't get it , do you ? this is n't about gwen . this is about you , ethan . this is about how you feel , what 's in your heart . you made a mistake when you married gwen , ethan . it 's the kind of mistake that 's hard to admit , much less do something about . ethan : it 's just -- it 's just impossible , theresa . theresa : if you do n't see it that way , it 's not . it 's ok , ethan . people get divorces . and yeah , it 's unpleasant , but sometimes that 's the best solution all the way around . you can right the wrong that you made the day that you walked down the aisle with gwen instead of me . it 's not right to stay married to a woman that you do n't love . it 's right to be a family with me , little ethan , and jane . please do the right thing . fox : darling , have you told our friends that we 're moving up the wedding date ? kay : fox , you know , we just decided earlier , so i have n't really had the chance . siren 's voice : oh , she 's had the chance , all right . she 's just been tied up making out with miguel . fox : well , it 's true . kay 's made me the happiest guy on earth . we 're going to get married as soon as we can get all the arrangements together . c ' to start our lives siren : what can i say ? fox : congratulations . miguel ? miguel : best of luck . siren 's voice : i think you 're going to need it , fox . fox : well , if you 'll excuse us , we 're going to head upstairs . there are some things that ca n't wait for the honeymoon . kay : fox . fox : kay , do n't be shy . we 're all but married anyway . i 'm sure miguel and siren can appreciate our feelings for each other . siren 's voice : should i show fox or not ? hmm , let 's see . what does kay deserve ? fancy : this has to prove it to you , chris . sheridan meant it when she told you she 's putting her relationship with luis in the past . she 's literally burned it to ashes . chris : i wonder . fancy : why ? how could she make it any clearer ? chris : what if sheridan felt the need to burn all these mementos because she ca n't think of anything but luis ? what if she 's desperately trying to get him out of her mind but ca n't because her love for him is too deep ? fancy : that 's what i call looking at the glass half empty . chris : i know , but it 's just that i love her so much . i do n't know what i 'd do if she were n't over luis . luis : the only way i 'll be truly happy is with you . sheridan : you can be happy with fancy , luis . you just have to let it happen . luis : no . sheridan : stop fighting it . she loves you . i see the way she looks at you . she 'll be good for you . luis : i like fancy , i really do . but it 's just completely different from the way that i feel about you . i love you . it 's not going to change . sheridan : but it 's got to , because i ca n't leave chris . he 's probably wondering where i am . i should go . luis : no , no , no . not yet . sheridan : i have to . luis , what happened tonight , kissing you , it was a slip . it was a mistake . i have to honor my commitment to my husband . luis : you just admitted that you love me . sheridan : please do n't make this any more difficult than it is . if you really love me the way you say you love me , help me . you have to let me go . luis : no . sheridan . sheridan , come back here , please . fe t dorian : hmm . rex : look , do n't think that i 'm sad about dorian being arrested . and you seem to be ok with it , too , but i know you better . kay 's voice : what 's she smiling about ? siren 's voice : the photo can wait . while fox is upstairs with kay , i can move in on miguel . kay : fox , what are you doing ? fox : have n't you ever seen `` gone with the wind `` ? i 'm taking you to bed , scarlet . kay : ok , put me down . fox : i will , once we 're in bed . siren : no ! fox : oh , i 'll get it . siren : no , no , fox , wait . chris : you know , you 're right . there 's no reason for me to be so negative about sheridan and luis . fancy : exactly . chris : you know , i should believe her when she tells me that she loves me . fancy : you 're an incredible man , too , chris . i just meant -- chris : i know what you meant . luis is every woman 's dreamboat . fancy : mine at least . i want things to work out between us so much . sheridan : sorry i 'm so late tonight . fancy , what are you doing here ? fancy : chris and i met up in town . we came back to the estate together . sheridan : that 's nice . chris : so where have you been ? you know , i went out looking for you . sheridan : oh , i , um , i went for a walk to clear my head . chris : oh , is everything all right ? sheridan : everything 's fine now that i 'm home with you . luis : is that really what you want , sheridan ? jared : well , i 'm sorry i dragged you all the way back to my office with me . gwen : i was really hoping you 'd find theresa there . jared : yeah , me , too . gwen : you know , i know you do n't want to hear it , but having the two of them missing together ... theresa : you really can have it all . ethan : theresa . theresa : ethan , it 's going to be rough at first . but then it 'll just be you , me , little ethan , and jane . it 's going to be paradise . ethan : theresa , i ca n't . i just ca n't . theresa : no . ethan : i 'm married to gwen . and i got -- i got to try to be loyal . theresa : and how is that working out for you ? you know , the loyalty part . ethan : not too well , theresa do n't do this to me , please . theresa : is this how you want to spend the rest of your life ? you know , acting like everything is just hunky - dory at home with gwen , and sneaking out to make love to me ? ethan : no . theresa : do you want to cheat on her ? ethan : absolutely not . and it 's not going to happen again . it 's not going to happen again . theresa : and how many times have you said that to me , ethan ? how many times two , three , 10 , 100 ? ethan : all right , enough . theresa : i 'll never have enough of you . the same way you will never have enough of me . and that 's why you staying married to gwen is so wrong . because you 're not only cheating on your wife , you 're cheating on your heart . theresa : well , why do n't you just stop trying to do the impossible ? do you honestly think that you can stay away from me ? because i do n't . all those years that everyone said that i was the one who was hanging on to the fantasy of being with you , it was you all along . you 're the one who ca n't let me go . you 're the one who ca n't get me out of your mind . in those last moments before you fall asleep at night . in those first moments when you awaken in the morning . and i know i am in your dreams . and i know exactly what we 're doing in your dreams . ethan : do n't . do n't . theresa : when are you going to stop fighting what you want more than anything in this world ? make love to me . make love to me and never stop . you ' trying to cover up how you really feel about it , are n't you ? kay : fox , what is it ? siren 's voice : your comeuppance , kay . it has some crazy angle . the phone must have taken it in the air . that 's a beautiful shot of me and my baby in a pre - marital smooch . siren 's voice : i just hope it did n't erase the one i took before it . siren : thanks , fox . fox : well , at least it 's not broken . all right , now me and my lady are going upstairs . nobody disturb us . not for anything . and we 'll see you in the morning . maybe . come on . miguel : if i did n't know any better , i 'd think fox knew how i felt about kay . siren : anything wrong , miguel ? miguel : tired , that 's all . siren : you look so wound up , so tense . i know just how to make you relax . fox : finally alone at last , huh ? kay : right . fox : is there something wrong ? kay : no , no , i was just thinking , you know , you never did tell me why you decided to change your mind and not work late tonight . fox : are you disappointed that i decided to come home and be with you ? kay : no , no , i 'm just surprised . fox : well then , the truth is theresa and ethan changed my mind . when i got to work , i overheard the two of them talking . kay : about us ? fox : no . kay : then what ? fox : theresa was saying how much she regretted the fact that ethan and gwen remained close after they first got engaged . kay : well , how could she have stopped it ? i mean , they had a lot of history together . they were engaged first . fox : still , theresa blames their continuing friendship for the fact that they never managed to get married . kay : this is about miguel , is n't it ? fox : what ? kay : you 're worried that if i spend too much time with him , that it 's going to ruin our engagement . fox : where did you come up with an idea like that ? kay : i do n't know . i mean , it just sounded -- fox : you are way out in left field . when i heard theresa and ethan talking , it just -- it made me realize how precious and how fleeting that true love is . and it made me realize it was more important to be with you tonight than trying to catch up on work . kay : are you sure this is n't about miguel ? fox : yes , i 'm sure it 's not about miguel . why would it be , unless there 's something going on between the two of you that i do n't know about . kay : no , no , of course not . fox : i trust you , kay . and i hope that we can trust each other . kay : absolutely . fox : honesty is the only way that this relationship is going to thrive . are you sure there 's nothing you want to tell me about ? luis : what are you doing , sheridan ? i know you still love me . sheridan : and he went right to sleep ? chris : yeah , even before i finished the bit about where robin hood saves maid marian from the sheriff of nottingham . sheridan : i wish i could have been there to tuck him in . fancy : i 've got to go . sheridan : already ? fancy : yeah , it 's late . i 'll see you soon , ok ? sheridan : all right . maybe tomorrow . fancy : mm , what is that perfume you 're wearing ? is it new ? sheridan : a friend sent it to me from paris . you can borrow it any time . fancy : thank you , i will . good night , chris . chris : thanks for everything . fancy : mm - hmm . chris : take care . fancy : you , too . chris : i wanted to ask you something . sheridan : what 's that ? chris : i saw the embers in the fireplace . sheridan : oh . chris : why were you burning the mementos of luis ? sheridan : because they 're not important anymore . chris : is it that , or is it that you just ca n't get him out of your mind ? sheridan , is there a part of you that 's still in love with luis even though you 're married to me ? luis : look me in the eyes and tell me that i 'm not the love of your life . sheridan : i ca n't say that , because you are the love of my life . chris : i need to know , sheridan . do you still love luis ? fox : i know that i 've been completely up front with you kay : i never said you were n't . fox : and i 'm assuming it 's the same way with you . unless there 's something that you 're holding out on me about . kay : no , no , of course not . i love you . fox : god , i love you , too , babe . fox : what ? kay : you know , i was just thinking , it would be nice to have a little glass of wine before we go to bed , so -- fox : fine . i know exactly where tabitha keeps it . i 'll go get it . kay : no , that 's ok , no , no , no . you stay here . i 'm going to go get it . i 'll be right back . miguel : whoa , whoa , whoa . siren : i 'm part fish , not horse . what 's wrong ? miguel : siren , you know what 's wrong . me and you are not like that anymore . look , i want to be friends , but you ca n't just -- siren : all i was doing was trying to help you relax . miguel : uh - huh . siren : honest . you do n't have to treat me like yesterday 's newspaper . miguel : i 'm sorry if i hurt your feelings , ok ? i just want to make things clear . siren : [ singing siren song ] kay 's voice : oh , no . i was sure that reverse spell worked . miguel : do you mind ? siren : oh , what ? miguel : no offense , but if i were you , i would n't audition for `` america 's got talent `` when they come to harmony . kay : i should n't care what miguel does . fox is my fiancé . still . miguel : hey , what are you doing ? gwen : maybe they have been in chris ' office together this entire time . jared : that 's crazy . what would they be ... you know , there 's a bunch of other offices we have n't even checked . maybe ethan 's down in his office . gwen : ok , look , i 'm going to go check and if i do n't find him , i 'll just meet you back at chris ' office , ok ? jared : all right . theresa : see ? you ca n't deny it now . we belong together . kay : thank you . fox : to me . kay : what about `` to us `` ? fox : this toast is for me . may the luck i 've had finding the woman of my dreams and capturing her hold out forever and ever . kay : i 'm not crazy about the word `` capture , `` but for you , i will drink to your toast anyway . fox : it 's true though . i do n't know what i 'd ever do if -- if i lost you . kay : fox , why do you say things like that ? fox : maybe it 's because i sometimes doubt if i deserve somebody as perfect as you . kay : i 'm far from perfect , fox . fox : you are to me . you 're my angel . you are my love . you are my life . now that i 've found you , i 'll never let you go . never . miguel : you never heard that no means no , siren ? siren : i thought that was only for women . miguel : no , it 's -- it 's across the board , ok ? you used to think i was cute and sexy . miguel : you still are . siren : just not enough for you ? miguel : look , it 's not that , ok ? it 's just i have ... siren : i know what it is . miguel : i do n't think so . siren : want to bet ? i did n't want to have to show you this , but it seems you 've left me no choice . good , it 's still there . miguel : how could you do something like that , siren ? siren : i would n't act so indignant about what i did . you 're the one making out with some other man 's fiancée . miguel : erase the picture . siren : that 's not exactly what i had in mind . miguel : erase the picture , siren . damn it , what do you want from me , siren ? siren : i told you what i want . everyone 's got needs . miguel : you 're going to blackmail me into having sex with you ? siren : well , maybe fox will want me after i show him this picture of you and his fiancée kissing . miguel : oh , that is low . siren : then do n't make me show fox the picture . make love to me , miguel . miguel : forget it . go upstairs . go show fox the picture . be my guest . luis : she admits she still loves me , and then she runs home to chris . how am i supposed to deal with that ? fancy : luis . hey . luis : hey . fancy : you -- you want to go get some coffee ? the book cafe is not far . luis : you know the rules . no dating between police officers and recruits . fancy : a cup of coffee is not a date . we can bend the rules a little bit , ca n't we ? luis : no , we ca n't . fancy : hey , i like you and i think you like me . and i know when a stupid rule is meant to be broken . fancy : wait , that 's sheridan 's perfume . you -- you were with her tonight , were n't you ? damn it , luis , she 's married . are you ever going to get over her ? chris : talk to me , sheridan . i need to know how you feel . sheridan : my heart belongs to you . all of it . i love you and i love being married to you . chris : you do n't know how relieved that makes me feel . sheridan : was that james ? chris : he 's probably talking in his sleep again . i 'll go check on him . then we 're going to go to bed . and i 'm going to show you how sheridan : i ca n't wait . sheridan : my last vestige of my life with luis . i ca n't destroy it . it 's all i have left of him . theresa : tell me that you want me . ethan : god , help me , i want you more than i 've ever wanted anyone . jared : well , i gather you did n't run into ethan . gwen : he has n't been back downstairs . jared : maybe you 're right . maybe they 've been in chris ' office all along . gwen : damn it . they 're probably just working on stuff . god knows there 's enough accounting issues in this -- in this lawsuit . there 're probably just going over financial rights . gwen : this is the only office we have n't been into . jared : well , i got the right so i guess we 'll find out . ivy : sam loves me . kay : then you just keep your little mouth shut . fancy : since you 're still in love with sheridanSummarize.[/INST]ethan and theresa were making love again when jared and gwen came looking for them . the door was locked and jared could n't remember the code , so they went away without finding them , but ethan was ready to run back to gwen before he got in trouble . theresa wanted to tell them both the truth , once and for all , then blasted ethan for his wimpy ways , and wanting to stay married to gwen while keeping theresa around , too . she said they either tell the truth or end it . ethan , as usual , is vascillating , and then begins making love to her all over again . jared and gwen return after not finding them anywhere else , and this time he has the code in hand . kay and miguel were making out in the living room until fox showed up . siren got a picture of them , and wondered whether to show fox or not , then decided not to until she can bag miguel . fox took kay upstairs and talked about how they have to be honest with each other . she agreed , but did n't tell him the truth about miguel , and does n't seem to know which man she really wants . miguel rebuffed siren 's advances and then found the picture on her phone . when she said she 's show fox if miguel does n't sleep with her , miguel was more than happy to let her do just that .</s> | 15,711 |

[ scene_break ] hope : vitali is very dangerous . he really is responsible for everything that we think he is . and he truly is a monster . kayla : you know , i saw ava 's toxicology report . the drug that her shrink prescribed for her was responsible for her behavior . hope : still ... she and steve share a past , not to mention the fact that she is martino vitali 's daughter . look , even though she 's off the drugs , it would n't hurt to be careful around her . kayla : so you think that she 's still a threat . hope : what i think is that it would be -- here , sit down -- it would be a lot better to be safe than sorry . but you know what ? i do n't want you thinking about the vitalis , okay ? because roman , abe , and i -- we 're on it . the only thing you need to focus on is you and this beautiful baby growing inside of you . kayla : okay , i 'll do that . hope : oh , my gosh . we need to go . i do n't want you to be late for your appointment . kayla : all right , let 's go .

[ scene_break ] bo : clint was in bed with someone ? nora : his assistant . bo : sandra ? nora : oh , god , no . it was a younger , trampier piece of work that clint hired to replace her . i thought he was sick -- that 's why he was n't returning our calls and why he was in bed so early -- until she came slithering out from underneath the covers . hmm ! ohh . he was all like it 's just another day at the office , you know ? `` nora , dear , do you mind waiting outside while my whore gets dressed ? and , oh , by the way , i know what you did last summer . `` bo : oh , man . that must 've been fun . nora : the fun was just beginning . after his slut left , he proceeded to tell me how they -- how they got together . the first kiss was the -- the night at the lodge before our wedding . how he -- how he continued to marry me and make me believe that he was happy , and that he -- he loved me . all the while , he was falling more deeply in love with her . bo : so this assistant let him use her to -- to pay you back ? nora : hmm . it gets better than that , bo . you see , clint and kim -- nora : that 's her name . kim . nice . anyway , they -- they were n't having an affair at all . they were just putting it all on for show so that i would know how he felt . and it worked . bo : i 'm so sorry . nora : you know , it was n't the -- it was n't so much the shock of seeing another woman in my bed . it was more the depth of the anger and the bitterness that was in clint 's eyes . and how much i hurt him by falling in love with you . [ scene_break ] schuyler : do you think maybe we could start over ? like , hit the rewind button and just go back to the part where you said -- gigi : no , we ca nt , schuyler . we 're past that : redos , do - overs . you did n't trip and fall on my lips . you wanted to kiss me . and i -- schuyler : and you did n't . gigi : i did not say that . schuyler : yeah , but me putting the moves on you is -- is kind of gon na complicate things . gigi : this whole situation 's complicated . schuyler : yeah , but it 's not sleazy . not yet . gigi : meaning ? schuyler : i -- i want to be with you so badly , you have no idea . but you 're still with rex . gigi : i 'm trying to figure it out , how i feel about him . ohh ! schuyler : i know how you feel about him . you love him . you share a child . gigi : and how i feel about you . schuyler : well , you know what ? you want me . but other than that , we do n't know . and you cheating on rex with me is not gon na help you figure this out . gigi : so what do we do ? go on a date ? schuyler : actually , i have a better idea . [ scene_break ] natalie : it 's nights like this there are just so many memories . i mean , just a little over a year ago , jared and i were camped out here trying to figure out how we were gon na take care of bree and chloe while jessica was in the hospital . yeah , we were so exhausted from the midnight feedings and the changing of the diapers and chasing bree all over the house . but we were loving it , you know ? it kind of made us wonder what it would be like to have kids of our own . and , you know , what -- what 's crazy is i started wishing that jared got me pregnant . you know , like jessica was when nash died ? because i ju -- i just want something of jared to hold onto . i want his baby . rex : is it possible you could be pregnant ? [ scene_break ] mitch : it 's good to have an ally . i believe you 're the only one i have in this town . stacy : me your ally ? on what planet ? mitch : do n't play games with me . i know my son impregnated you . stacy : okay , everybody in this town knows i 'm pregnant with rex 's baby . mitch : i also know that this baby is the only chance you have at winning rex . stacy : still not seeing how that makes me your ally . mitch : all right . you want rex at any cost , so let 's make a deal . you give me what i want , and i will make sure that rex and you spend the rest of your lives together . [ scene_break ] oliver : uh , where were you ? ofc . johns : i walked mayor lord to the elevator . i was just gone a few minutes . oliver : okay , you 're not supposed to leave laurence alone . [ scene_break ] stacy : you can help me get rex ? how ? mitch : i 've been watching you . i know the extreme measures you have taken to steal my son 's heart . i even know the lengths that you went to to procure the stem cells that saved my grandson 's life . stacy : and you have a problem with that ? [ scene_break ] natalie : jared and i were waiting to start a family . so there 's no way i 'm pregnant unless there 's some miracle or the birth control malfunctioned . so i have nothing left . rex : nattie , you might not believe this now , but you 've got plenty left . okay ? you 've got this huge , big family that loves you . you have me . natalie : but now you 're jessica 's blood brother . rex : and you 're her blood sister . so do you know what that makes all of us ? natalie : screwed up ? connected to mitch ? rex : family by blood and by choice . best of both worlds . [ scene_break ] mitch : i admire your tenacity , stacy . i applaud your insidious plotting . i even helped with your endeavor . stacy : that nurse . that -- that weird woman that showed up out of nowhere with all that extra blood in case shane needed it . huh . she did n't just show up out of nowhere , did she ? you sent her to me , right ? [ scene_break ] gigi : we are in a cabin in the middle of the woods where no one can hear me scream . so what is your idea ? throwing a hockey mask on and chasing me around with that thing ? schuyler : gigi , you need to make this place feel more like home before -- before shane comes up . so what do you say ? [ country accent ] we head out into them there woods ? we find us a perfect tree that we can cut down and decorate ? gigi : christmas tree ? schuyler : [ normal voice ] yeah . why not ? gigi : i was totally wishing for one . [ scene_break ] stacy : you made sure i got that blood , did n't you ? mitch : it hardly matters , does it ? you allowed rex to steal the blood right out of your hands . stacy : ohh . he hated me more than ever after that . mitch : yes , but now you 're carrying his child , and he will cleave to you . stacy : i would love that more than anything . why should i believe you when rex does n't want anything to deal with you ? mitch : yes , but remember he once felt the same way about you . and look where you are today . stacy : you 're really creepy . you know that ? so how do you know so much about me ? what do you want from me ? [ scene_break ] renee : the last thing i ever thought would happen is that nora would cheat on clint with his brother . nigel : shattering . renee : you know , clint should not be alone at a time like this . do you know where he is ? nigel ? nigel : i 'm sorry , but i have even more disconcerting news to report . [ scene_break ] clint : i pulled a shotgun on bo and nora tonight . kim : you did n't ... clint : shoot ? no , no . but , by god , i could have . kim : you are one crazy dude . [ scene_break ] nora : what a night , huh ? bo : do you think that clint 's assistant could 've found out about us and then she told him ? nora : i have -- i do n't know how she could 've . i 've never even seen this woman before . it does n't matter how he found out . he found out . and his reaction was worse than either one of us even imagined . [ scene_break ] clint : the gun was n't loaded . but in that moment -- in that moment , i wanted to blow their heads off . kim : who can blame you ? clint : i can , according to bo . according to bo , there 's no one to blame for all of this except me . [ scene_break ] nora : i knew clint would be hurt and furious . but it 's one thing to think about it , another to live through it . i was scared to death . bo : clint never would 've fired that gun . nora : but he wanted to . i could see it in his eyes . god . that 's what i pushed him to : jumping into bed with a flunky on the payroll , having him pull a shotgun on his brother . he 's right . i have destroyed the family . [ scene_break ] clint : maybe bo is right . maybe i never should 've married his ex - wife to begin with . [ scene_break ] bo : we 're not gon na do this . we both hate that we hurt clint , but we 're not gon na blame ourselves . [ scene_break ] kim : hey , you ca n't blame yourself . you never know who you 're gon na fall in love with . [ scene_break ] bo : we fell in love , nora . now , i do n't regret it . do you ? [ scene_break ] kim : you fell for nora . she played with your heart fast and loose . that makes her a fool in my book . look , i know you 're hurting , but she 's the one who lost . i mean that . [ scene_break ] nora : i will never be sorry for loving you . because i ca n't fight this . god knows i 've tried . bo : i do n't want to fight it . nora : but how do we get past the hurt that we caused your brother when he needed us the most ? when his daughter was grieving for her husband ? [ scene_break ] rex : all i want to do is help you . natalie : i know . and i wish you could . but you should go . gigi is waiting for you at home . rex : no , she is n't . [ scene_break ] schuyler : i could n't do it . i could not bring myself to make the first cut to that innocent little tree . gigi : i had no idea you were a tree - hugger . schuyler : i ca n't fish either . road kill makes this grown man cry . and if a wildlife fund or a humane society calls me asking for money ? pfft . forget it . i 'll give them the shirt off my back . gigi : you know what ? schuyler : what ? gigi : i 'm just realizing that our relationship has been all about rex or stacy or me , and i -- i really do n't know you at all . schuyler : well , you know , some chicks dig mystery . gigi : i 'm gon na dig finding out more secrets even bigger than the fact that you ca n't kill a fly . schuyler : why would i care what idiot she slept with ? kim : because , you big dummy , it 's you . you 're the father . schuyler : oh , i 've got a few whoppers . gigi : like what ? [ scene_break ] stacy : yeah , i 've heard a lot about you , too . at least enough to know that having you on my side is n't necessarily a good thing . mitch : yes , well , the game of telephone is over . so judge for yourself what you see and what you hear . stacy : i will once you tell me what your deal is . mitch : rex has fathered a brand - new baby child , my own flesh and blood . do you know what a gift that is ? stacy : yep . it 's a gift , all right . i just do n't know what that has to do with you . mitch : my daughter jessica has shown me nothing but disloyalty . stacy : she 's sort of a bitch . mitch : and rex ... stacy : okay , look , if you think you 're gon na take rex off to some compound and stick him with 15 wives , think again , buddy . mitch : who said anything about returning to my flock with rex or you ? it 's your baby , my grandchild , that i want to take back with me . [ scene_break ] oliver : you left your post ? ofc . johns : so what ? no one 's in there . oliver : how do you know that ? [ scene_break ] stacy : you want my baby ? you want me to just give you rex 's baby ? mitch : this baby is a fresh start for me , a new beginning . stacy : of what ? mitch : neither jessica nor rex is interested in building my ministry or carrying on my work after i 'm gone . but this new baby can be nurtured by me from birth , shaped and molded so that my rightful heir will continue my work after i leave this earth . stacy : are you serious ? mitch : spare me the disbelief and righteous indignation . you do n't want that baby . what difference does it make to you ? that baby is a means to an end for you , just a way for you to keep a hold on rex . stacy : and when you take it away , what hold will i have ? why do n't you take my sister 's little brat shane ? he 's your grandkid , too . mitch : shane is too old , and rex has already poisoned him against me . i 'm offering you my promise , my word . `` in the beginning was the word , and the word was god . `` stacy : oh , get to the point . your word about what ? mitch : in return for the gift of your baby , i will make sure that you share your life with rex . stacy : rex hates you more than he hates me . and what kind of guarantee can you give me ? mitch : so you 're considering it ? oliver : stacy ? what are you doing here ? this man is very dangerous . you have to go now . stacy : that 's what i was just telling this creep . stay away from me and my baby . i have to go . [ scene_break ] natalie : wait a minute . did something happen between you and gigi ? rex : no . we 're good . we 're great . natalie : rex , come on . rex : look , i 'm not gon na put this on you . natalie : look , i know that when i asked you to go out of town to help me find jared , that you guys were going through kind of a rough patch . did -- did she leave you ? rex : no , she did n't leave me . natalie : then what happened ? rex : her friend , schuyler , that helped get her through this rocky time . natalie : oh . rex : so i -- i told her that she -- that we needed to take a breather so she could figure out who she wants to be with : him or me . natalie : have you lost your mind ? [ scene_break ] schuyler : oh - oh . oh , no . no -- gigi : yes . come on , truth or dare . what 's one of those whopper secrets you 're keeping ? schuyler : you do not seriously expect me to play truth or dare with you . gigi : either answer my question or head back out into the woods in nothing but a sock to cut down my christmas tree . which will it be ? schuyler : i -- i think we previously established that i can harm neither flora nor fauna . gigi : the truth it is . schuyler : i did n't like the idea of you being up here without a christmas tree . gigi : not budging , joplin . schuyler : gigi , if i told you everything there is to know , you would run screaming back to rex . gigi : i already know that you were in love with my witch of a sister who has caused me more grief than any human being ever has . if i got past that , i can get past anything . schuyler : hey . look . the perfect tree . [ scene_break ] oliver : hey . you seem upset . did -- did mitch threaten you ? stacy : no . oliver : hey , you got to be careful , stacy . he 's -- he 's sick . and you 've got that baby to think about . stacy : that 's what i 'm doing : thinking about my baby . oliver : listen , i do n't mean to be -- i do n't know . i just -- i feel sort of connected to you . that night that we spent together , when you took me home with you after rodi 's , my whole life was turned around . and i ca n't help but think that -- you know , i mean if things had been even a little different , that -- that could 've been my baby that you 're carrying . stacy : right . well , um , i 'd better get home . [ scene_break ] nigel : i fear mr. buchanan is with his new assistant kimberly . renee : kimberly ? nigel : a young woman from las vegas who maneuvered her way into the company by claiming jared hired her before he died . renee : i have n't even met the girl , and already i want to slap her . nigel : oh , that 's not all . i have no doubt she 's responsible for the news about commissioner buchanan and ms. nora coming out . renee : young female from vegas . va - va - voom , i presume ? nigel : if you find refuse appealing . renee : mm - hmm . yeah . i know the type . ha ha ha . back in the days when i was still in the game , i knew hookers with hearts of gold and hookers who sold their hearts and everything else for gold . nigel : i can assure you kimberly is of the latter variety . what can we do about this -- this ... renee : slut ? nigel : precisely . [ scene_break ] [ music plays ] kim : you know what ? you 're a great guy . clint : i 'm old enough to be your father . kim : but you 're not . clint : i got boots older than you . i should be going . kim : right . you should be home in that stuffy old study of yours , and i should be out at some dance club with some young , creepy dude slobbering all over me . is that it ? clint : if that 's what you want . kim : no , thanks . i had enough of that while i was st -- clint : while you were what ? kim : uh , when i was ... dating a younger guy -- clint : do n't even bother . kim : excuse me ? clint : i had you checked out . your résumé . it 's fiction . you were a stripper in sin city . kim : so why did n't you fire me ? clint : i did n't fire you because , well , i thought you 'd come in handy someday . and you did . i liked having you in my bed tonight when nora walked in . kim : i wanted to do that for you . clint : but i have several other questions that i 'd like an answer to . kim : shoot . clint : did you actually have an interview with my son - in - law ? and did jared really hire you before he died ? or is that a lie , too ? [ scene_break ] renee : this house is not going to seem like a home anymore without matthew and nora . nigel : around this time i 'd be making up a snack for young matthew , helping him hide his christmas presents for the family . why did this have to happen ? renee : oh , nigel , love is a runaway train . it waits for nothing and no one . asa , you always believed that bo and nora would get together . you wanted it . huh . but not at clint 's expense . [ scene_break ] nora : i got to find a place to live . we ca n't live in this hotel forever . dani and matthew need a home . bo : one step at a time , okay ? nora : that 's the problem . i -- i do n't have a clue what the next step is . god , i wish we could 've controlled how clint found out about this . bo : yeah , but do you know what ? he would 've been hurt no matter what . and now it -- it 's out : we love each other . and to deny that would 've hurt all of us , including my brother . [ scene_break ] kim : no . i never interviewed with jared . clint : okay . so my daughter saw right through you even in her grief . what else ? kim : what do you mean ? clint : you did n't stop with only one lie , did you ? what else did you do ? kim : um , like , um -- clint : um , like pencil yourself into jared 's calendar , and then slip a bogus thank - you note into his mail ? kim : oh . right . right . that 's what i was doing in his office . i wanted to make it look like we 'd met . but i guess all i did was make you suspicious and natalie want to poke my eyes out . not that she did n't have every right to be mad at me . clint : why did you do all of this ? the private investigator said that you 're not connected to anyone who 's trying to harm or take over b.e . so why ? kim : to meet you . are you gon na fire me ? stacy : oh . kim : oh , hi . stacy : god , i 'm starving . you know what ? i 'm gon na -- i 'm gon na go get a bite to eat . clint : do n't -- do n't leave on my account . i 'm on my way out . kim : uh , you can spend the night if you want . clint : might want to quit while you 're ahead . kim : got it . get out ! see ? i 'm a quick study . stacy : is that your limo downstairs ? clint : it is , yeah . kim , thank you . i needed this . kim : should i come by b.e . tomorrow ? clint : well , yeah . of course . but the next time you tell your boss that you 're gon na match him shot for shot , make sure you 're up to the challenge . kim : i 'm really sorry about your wife and your brother . it really sucks . clint : it does . it does . stacy : holy crap , you work fast ! uh , do i even need to ask how it went ? kim : you first . what happened with mitch laurence ? stacy : um , well , he promised me rex . [ scene_break ] rex : i could n't think of what else to do ! gigi has feelings for another man . they 're not going away . how can i live with that ? how can she ? natalie : she 's confused . i mean , maybe this thing with schuyler 's just a crush . it 'll pass . rex : okay . when ? natalie : life is too short for you just to let go of gigi . okay ? you need to go after her and tell her that you love her , that you guys belong together . because do you know how much i regret every second i did n't spend with jared ? go get gigi and bring her home . rex : how about i go pay the sitter , grab shane , get a movie , and come back here ? you could use the distraction , right ? natalie : no . i 'm okay . rex : you want to stay here and remember jared ? natalie : that 's the plan . rex : i love you , sis . natalie : i love you , too , rex . gigi is still here , rex . do n't let her become a memory .

[ scene_break ] natalie : jared and i were waiting to start a family . so there 's no way i 'm pregnant unless there 's some miracle or the birth control malfunctioned . so i have nothing left . rex : nattie , you might not believe this now , but you 've got plenty left . okay ? you 've got this huge , big family that loves you . you have me . natalie : but now you 're jessica 's blood brother . rex : and you 're her blood sister . so do you know what that makes all of us ? natalie : screwed up ? connected to mitch ? rex : family by blood and by choice . best of both worlds .

[ scene_break ] clint : the gun was n't loaded . but in that moment -- in that moment , i wanted to blow their heads off . kim : who can blame you ? clint : i can , according to bo . according to bo , there 's no one to blame for all of this except me . [ scene_break ] nora : i knew clint would be hurt and furious . but it 's one thing to think about it , another to live through it . i was scared to death . bo : clint never would 've fired that gun . nora : but he wanted to . i could see it in his eyes . god . that 's what i pushed him to : jumping into bed with a flunky on the payroll , having him pull a shotgun on his brother . he 's right . i have destroyed the family . [ scene_break ] clint : maybe bo is right . maybe i never should 've married his ex - wife to begin with .

[ scene_break ] schuyler : i could n't do it . i could not bring myself to make the first cut to that innocent little tree . gigi : i had no idea you were a tree - hugger . schuyler : i ca n't fish either . road kill makes this grown man cry . and if a wildlife fund or a humane society calls me asking for money ? pfft . forget it . i 'll give them the shirt off my back . gigi : you know what ? schuyler : what ? gigi : i 'm just realizing that our relationship has been all about rex or stacy or me , and i -- i really do n't know you at all . schuyler : well , you know , some chicks dig mystery . gigi : i 'm gon na dig finding out more secrets even bigger than the fact that you ca n't kill a fly . schuyler : why would i care what idiot she slept with ? kim : because , you big dummy , it 's you . you 're the father . schuyler : oh , i 've got a few whoppers . gigi : like what ? [ scene_break ] stacy : yeah , i 've heard a lot about you , too . at least enough to know that having you on my side is n't necessarily a good thing . mitch : yes , well , the game of telephone is over . so judge for yourself what you see and what you hear . stacy : i will once you tell me what your deal is . mitch : rex has fathered a brand - new baby child , my own flesh and blood . do you know what a gift that is ? stacy : yep . it 's a gift , all right . i just do n't know what that has to do with you . mitch : my daughter jessica has shown me nothing but disloyalty . stacy : she 's sort of a bitch . mitch : and rex ... stacy : okay , look , if you think you 're gon na take rex off to some compound and stick him with 15 wives , think again , buddy . mitch : who said anything about returning to my flock with rex or you ? it 's your baby , my grandchild , that i want to take back with me .

[ scene_break ] stacy : you want my baby ? you want me to just give you rex 's baby ? mitch : this baby is a fresh start for me , a new beginning . stacy : of what ? mitch : neither jessica nor rex is interested in building my ministry or carrying on my work after i 'm gone . but this new baby can be nurtured by me from birth , shaped and molded so that my rightful heir will continue my work after i leave this earth . stacy : are you serious ? mitch : spare me the disbelief and righteous indignation . you do n't want that baby . what difference does it make to you ? that baby is a means to an end for you , just a way for you to keep a hold on rex . stacy : and when you take it away , what hold will i have ? why do n't you take my sister 's little brat shane ? he 's your grandkid , too . mitch : shane is too old , and rex has already poisoned him against me . i 'm offering you my promise , my word . `` in the beginning was the word , and the word was god . `` stacy : oh , get to the point . your word about what ? mitch : in return for the gift of your baby , i will make sure that you share your life with rex . stacy : rex hates you more than he hates me . and what kind of guarantee can you give me ? mitch : so you 're considering it ? oliver : stacy ? what are you doing here ? this man is very dangerous . you have to go now . stacy : that 's what i was just telling this creep . stay away from me and my baby . i have to go .

[ scene_break ] [ telephone rings in distance ] michael : willow ? hey . willow : uh , hi . michael : uh , no workbooks today ? willow : schools on break . i did have a stack of books i just dropped off at the pediatric ward . uh , did you make it back to your parents ' house after the group meeting ? michael : yes , i did . we had , uh -- we had a fun holiday . uh , you ? willow : it was better than i expected . the grief meeting really helped . michael : hey , uh , willow , um ... speaking about your son , that was -- that was a really big step . willow : it felt good , you know , being able to say my dreams for him out loud . i did n't dare before . i just wish i could have made them all come true . [ scene_break ] ava : pink [ keys jingle in distance ] [ door opens ] ava : your favorite ... what do you want ? anna : are you packing up kiki 's things ? maybe there 's something we can do . ava : do n't touch that ! anna : i 'm sorry . i only meant to help . ava : i read somewhere once about a woman whose husband died in their apartment , and she left his book open to the page that he 'd last read . she called it an act of wishful thinking as if leaving their lives exactly as they were just before he died would keep him alive for her . i thought it was ridiculous when i read it . you know ... i thought she was weak . [ voice breaking ] and now , i pray that woman 's same prayers . well , we know something about prayers ... do n't we , father ? we know they only work for the faithful , so i guess that leaves you and i out of luck . [ scene_break ] michael : i 'm glad i went to that meeting . it was -- it was helpful to be around other people who are missing their children . willow : be honest . you went 'cause you saw i was going and you felt bad . michael : [ chuckles ] yeah , i 'll admit you were a deciding factor . because about this , uh -- this one terrible thing , we , uh ... we understand each other . willow : my , um ... my pregnancy came as a surprise , and all through it , i just kept wondering about what kind of life my baby and i would have . michael : yeah , i do n't -- i - i do n't -- i do n't know if i 'll ever stop wondering about it . [ exhales sharply ] imagining what it would 've been like to see my son grow up . [ scene_break ] nelle : what are you doing here ? are n't you a fugitive ? obrecht : no . i had an unfortunate misunderstanding with law enforcement , but it 's all cleared up . is n't it funny how life works ? one moment , i am on my way to prison , and the next i am delivering your beautiful , healthy baby in the middle of nowhere . and now , you are in prison , and i 'm asking myself , `` where is that beautiful baby boy ? `` [ scene_break ] kevin : laura . where 's laura ? ryan : ah , ah , ah ! we 'll -- we 'll get to laura . first , i want to share with you my news , which is ... i am totally pulling this off ! [ laughs ] oh , but i do have to say , you must be one heck of a shrink . i barely have to talk through those sessions . i mean , your patients know exactly how you 're going to respond . kevin : you 're in no position to treat patients ryan : well , neither are you . kevin : wait . laura -- is she okay ? what have you done ? ryan : i 've been nothing but a gentleman with my brother 's wife . she is lovely . a little staid for my taste . i had to put a little distance between us . however ... [ groans ] ... once the divorce is final , we 'll hardly have to interact at all . kevin : you 're divorcing my wife ? [ scene_break ] laura : the way kevin 's been acting , i ca n't help but be concerned about his mental health . carly : well , it would put some things into perspective . laura : like what ? carly : well , i mean , i think kevin 's been distracted and detached , at least since i 've been released from ferncliff . i told him that i wanted to set up an appointment with him to talk about the anniversary of morgan 's death , and he basically blew me off . laura : that 's not kevin . it 's not . you know , there have been so many things that are just not kevin . mm . [ sighs ] i keep worrying that ... what ? carly : what are you worried about ? laura : ugh . a few years after ryan died , kevin had a psychotic break . he was confusing his identity with his brother 's , so now the way he 's been acting , i 'm afraid that he 's headed for another breakdown . carly : that would make sense . i mean , it would explain his odd behavior . but it does n't explain his romantic interest in ava . unless you think it 's all a part of his , you know ... losing it . laura : could n't it be ? carly : sure . but is it possible you 're looking for a reason to believe that kevin does n't really want a divorce ? [ scene_break ] ryan : laura 's having trouble accepting the end of our marriage , but i 'm hopeful she 'll make peace with things . otherwise , i 'll have to employ other means of problem - solving . kevin : no . leave her alone . ryan : that 's precisely what i 'm trying to do . laura 's safe -- for now . it 's just that ... [ sighs ] ... there 's really only so much i can take . i 've already had to dispense with two problems , and i 'm really hoping to avoid a third . kevin : what do you -- what do you mean ? ryan , w -- you did n't kill anybody , did you ? felicia -- is -- is felicia okay ? ryan : felicia ? oh ! [ laughs ] ye - yes , felicia 's fine . it 's -- it 's so funny . i 'm not into her at all . but , to answer your question , yes . twice . kevin : you murdered two people ? ryan : all those years , you were trying so hard to fix me , and it turns out i was n't even broken . this is just who i am . [ exhales sharply ] ah , no , no , no . no . now , take it easy . you could hurt yourself . as much as i 'm enjoying the irony of this situation , i do need you healthy and somewhat lucid . you see , there are some gaps in my knowledge of your life -- gaps that only you can fill . kevin : i 'll never help you . ryan : of course you will . laura 's life depends on it . [ scene_break ] oscar : more wrapping paper . [ chuckles ] a five - year planner ? josslyn : yeah , well , open it . oscar : okay . [ chuckles ] ah . january 1st -- ring up the new year with joss . huh . january 11th -- bake cookies with joss . mm - hmm . [ pages rustling ] february 9th -- take joss for a quick hike . are you serious ? you know how cold it gets in february ? josslyn : okay , well , thus the `` quick . `` and that 's if we do n't get snowed in . oscar : [ chuckles ] february 14th -- watch valentine 's day movies and bake truffles . [ scoffs ] take psats , go to the movies ... you did this for the whole year ? josslyn : yeah , well , just the first year . i figured the rest of them we 'd plan together . [ scene_break ] lulu : [ chuckles ] happy belated birthday . laura : oh , sweetheart . thank lulu : charlotte and rocco made you cards , and there 's a little gift in there from me . laura : aww . oh , they 're just wonderful . lulu : i know i 'm biased , but i totally agree . [ both laugh ] lulu : dig in , dig in . laura : okay , all right . oh , i see it . [ gasps ] oh -- oh , my goodness . oh , i love it . lulu : aww , and we love you . never , ever forget that . i know things are hard with everything you 're dealing with kevin , so i wanted you to know how special and loved you are by me and the grandkids , spencer included . laura : thank you , sweetheart . this means so much , especially now . you know that . i mean , a year ago , kevin and i were in love and we were happy , and now we are unrecognizable , and i just ca n't fathom what happened to bring us to this place . lulu : the name begins with `` a `` and ends with `` a. `` laura : yeah , i know that ava is certainly a factor , but they both insist that they did n't start seeing each other until after we had separated . this is something else . i just have n't figured it out yet . [ scene_break ] griffin : kiki would n't want us tearing each other apart . ava : probably not . but she 's dead , so she ca n't really call the shots . anna : you know , ava , if you do n't want to do this right now , there are services that will come and pack everything up for you . ava : oh , no , no . no , i do n't ... i do n't want anybody touching her things . anna : all right , well , we 'll just leave you to it , then . griffin : look , if you 're gon na -- if you 're gon na give that book away , i 'd like to have something of hers . ava : but you 've ... you 've already had plenty , have n't you ? days and nights of kiki after you drove a wedge between us . you know , you may not have killed my daughter , but you took her from me just the same . anna : let 's go . come on . let 's go . ava : no ! let him stay ! i dare you to stay and watch me as i put every bit of kiki into these boxes ! [ voice breaking ] how does it feel to be left empty- handed -- the same way i was when you stole her away from me ? [ scene_break ] anna : ava you are in terrible pain , i get that . but it does n't give you license to attack him . griffin : look , anna , it 's fine . we are both grieving . ava : do n't you dare compare your grief to mine . do you wan na know what grief looks like ? kiki , she saved every bit of her childhood . all of it . every scrape , all the stuff that i jammed into draws , back of closets . to mommy , who holds my hands when i 'm afraid . dan medals , report cards , stacks of cards . you know she saved every card i ever gave her . she used to say she was going to make a collage one day . for all of the kiki 's i knew and loved , are here . the 3-year - old ballet dancer . the 6-year old that loved roller coasters even know she was too tired to ride the ones she really wanted . this short story was written when she was 10 . the hat that she tried to knit . i did n't burry just one child , i buried all the little girls that she was when she was growing up . [ crying ] anna : aww ava is n't there someone we can call for you ? your brother or someone ? please . ryan : it 's all right , i 'm here . ava : [ crying ] [ scene_break ] laura : how did you get your hands on this privileged information ? lulu : i was dropping off a care package to dante 's old partner . laura : ah ha and you just happen to see the case file on mary pat ingle 's murder ? lulu : no ! i just happen to be taking a peek at kiki 's file . laura : ohh no . lulu : and i saw mary pat 's name . apparently , there are similarities between the cases that the police are suspecting is the beginning of a pattern . laura : so what , the police think there might be one killer ? lulu : think about it , in both instances the bodies were moved and left somewhere to be found at a party or a public event . and they were both killed with a knife or a blade of some sort . carly : ok , i 'm sorry to interrupt but are you saying that the police are investigating a serial killer ? [ scene_break ] oscar : so hard to believe how different everything was last christmas . we found my mom 's cd and then the letter . i did n't even know drew was my dad . josslyn : that is crazy . seems like drew 's been your dad for a lot longer than a year . oscar : yea josslyn : do you still wish that your mom and dad got back together ? oscar : i know it sounds dumb but yea . josslyn : it 's not dumb . oscar : childish then , immature . i sound like a little kid . but still , it would make me feel a lot better about everything if my dad was looking after my mom . but she still has julian . josslyn : well like you said , a lot can change in a year . [ scene_break ] drew : so this is the last week of the trial . teri should be able to quantify the results and let us know if there 's been any benefits . kim : i am praying , praying that the treatment works . but if she comes back and she says that tumor has n't reduced in size , i ... drew : hey , if there 's nothing left to be done for oscar , then we 'll just have to find a way to squeeze the world in whatever time he has left . [ scene_break ] willow : i got to hold my son for a while . the weight of him and the warmth helped . perfect and fragile he was . i knew i had to give him up but i physically could n't make my arms let go . i finally ask the nurse to take him . and my arms felt so empty afterward . at night i dream i am holding him again . michael : i ah , i do that too . i dream that jonah is alive and i am holding him . and when i wake up and remember , it 's like you said . my arms feel so empty . [ scene_break ] nelle : you are mistaken . i gave birth in the woods after a car accident . my baby did n't survive . obrecht : your baby was born strong and vital . if i would have given him an apt it would have been a ten . trauma did n't kill him , perhaps you did . nelle : you are crazy if you think i would ever hurt my child . everything i ever did was to protect him a wonderful life . obrecht : why does n't it sound like your child is dead now ? nelle : because i still feel like he 's with me . i miss him . i am still in mourning . why are you trying to mock my grief ? obrecht : well , while we are on the subject of grief . maxi tells me that michael corinthos is devastated by the loss of his child . but do n't you imagine the gratitude if he was to learn the truth . [ scene_break ] ava : i need to do that . i - i need to go through everything . ryan : and you shall , but not everything needs to be done today . anna : i 'm glad you 're here , kevin . you know , we came . we thought maybe we could help in some way . ryan : well , i do n't know how much help he can offer . let 's go , ava . you can look through kiki 's things later at home . ava : y - yes , i think i -- that 's a good idea . ryan : oh , uh , do lock up when you leave . thank you . anna : oh , griffin . [ sighs ] do n't let her anger and -- and ... bitterness get to you . you know , i mean , that is the last thing that kiki would 've wanted , you know ? [ scene_break ] kim : parents entering ! oscar : all clear ? as you can see . drew : [ chuckles ] where 's joss ? oscar : i do n't know . she took off with some errand to run or something , but check this out . kim : [ chuckles ] [ scene_break ] josslyn : [ sighs ] julian : hey , josslyn . everything okay with oscar ? josslyn : uh , yeah , he 's doing pretty good today , actually . julian : ah , glad to hear it . actually , i 'm gon na stop by the hospital later when my manager gets in to cover me . i 'd like to bring , uh , oscar his favorite sandwich . plus , it 'd be nice to be there for kim , as well . josslyn : yeah , well , the best way to help kim is to help oscar , right ? julian : yeah , actually , i 'd really like to help oscar . any idea how i might be able to do that ? josslyn : actually , i do . you need to give up kim . [ scene_break ] carly : how closely have the police been able to link the murders ? lulu : i 'm not sure . i 'm -- [ quietly ] i know they 're investigating them together , but i do n't know the specifics . carly : i was questioned twice for mary pat ingles . poor griffin munro was held overnight as a suspect . i 'm just wondering , what if it 's a part of the pattern -- that the killer frames an obvious suspect ? lulu : oh , see , now , that 's an angle i had n't considered , 'cause you were an obvious suspect for mary pat ... carly : yeah . lulu : ... just like griffin is for kiki . yeah , and there 's a strong possibility that the killer is n't finished and they 're gon na target somebody else . why have n't the police said anything ? laura : i do n't know . ah . maybe the mayor can enlighten us . [ scene_break ] nelle : you 're a disgraced doctor , a felon . michael would never believe anything that you had to say . obrecht : and you framed his mother for attempted murder . i do n't think it 's a far stretch for michael to believe you gave him a dead baby instead of his own . however , i do n't need to convince him . all i need to do is suggest they perform a dna test on the poor deceased child . nelle : michael is not worthy of my son . he betrayed me . he wanted to steal my baby and let his bitch of a mother help raise him . well , that 's not gon na happen , all right ? carly does n't get to win . obrecht : my concern is with the baby i delivered that night . huh . if you do n't tell me where he is , i shall feel compelled to tell the police everything . your move . since you refuse to answer , i can only assume that you dispatched with some poor child to switch him with your own . nelle : stop saying that . i did n't kill any baby . obrecht : prove it . nelle : [ sighs ] after you left me , i made my way back to the road . i thought maybe i could hitch a ride to sawyer and then figure out some way across the border . but even as i was trying to make a plan , i knew that it would never work . michael 's family would never allow me to keep my baby . and then fate stepped in . obrecht : and how did fate come to your assistance ? nelle : brad cooper was on the side of the road . he had the newborn that he and lucas were going to adopt , and the baby had died . brad was a wreck . lucas had n't even seen him because he was at the hospital . obrecht : perhaps fate showed up for you after all . you gave brad your healthy baby and passed the other poor child off as your own . nelle : my son is with people who truly want him and love him -- people more deserving than michael and his mother . [ scene_break ] michael : you know , you should meet my godson . you know , he 's adorable . [ chuckles ] and i got to admit , just holding him makes me feel so good . you know , my family is crazy about him . willow : sounds like a very lucky little boy to have so many people who love him . michael : he came into our -- our lives right when we were at our lowest , and he really brought joy back into our hearts . so i think that we 're the lucky ones to be able to love wiley the way that we do . [ scene_break ] josslyn : oscar 's parents have a real connection . they rely on each other . they 're getting closer all the time , and for oscar , that is the one upside of him being sick . julian : but it 's a fantasy . kim and drew -- they 're not together . josslyn : well , they could be if you 'd step aside . you are the one person that can make oscar 's wish come true . [ scene_break ] laura : have the police advised you that there 's a possible serial killer on the loose ? ned : laura , please . keep your voice down . your reaction is exactly the response i 'm trying to avoid . lulu : so you admit the police are investigating a serial killer . ned : the police suspect that there may be one , yes . laura : well , do n't you think people have a right to know that ? ned : i 'm trying to avoid a panic , okay ? look , the investigation is ongoing . nothing has been confirmed yet . lulu : can i quote you on that ? my story comes out tomorrow . ned : tomo -- lulu , look , that is completely irresponsible journalism . do you really want to create a wave of panic and paranoia just to sell a few extra newspapers ? olivia : lulu , lulu , lulu , lulu . -really ? i - i would really love to give you an exclusive sneak peek at our preparations for the upcoming benefit . it 's on behalf of pediatric cancer , which , as you can imagine , is a cause near and dear to the quartermaine 's heart . i just thought that maybe you 'd really like to write about some of the good things that people are doing in this town for a change . [ scene_break ] ryan : excuse me . two vodka martinis , please -- dry , extra olives . there 's , um , a situation that requires my attention . should n't take long . [ scene_break ] kevin : laura . laura , you 're not safe . give him what he wants . walk away . laura : i took a vow to stand by you through whatever life had in store for us -- the sunshine and the sorrow . i will keep my promise because i will love you every day for the rest of my life . kevin : your love for me will get you killed . i have to do something to save laura . [ scene_break ] carly : [ gasps ] oh , my ... kevin ! you scared me . ryan : why so jumpy ? carly : i do n't know , i - i guess it 's just the day that i 'm [ chuckling ] having . so , uh , what can i do for you ? ryan : well , you wanted information on your neighbor at ferncliff . carly : did you find something out besides a name ? ryan : i did . and i could n't wait to share the truth with you personally . [ scene_break ] nelle : now that you know everything ... what are you going to do ? please leave my son with brad and lucas . they deserve him . michael does n't . obrecht : not to worry , my dear . i find the truth is best left unsaid ... ... until one really needs it . [ scene_break ] willow : [ breathes shakily ] what did -- what did you say your godson 's name is ? michael : it 's , uh , wiley cooper - jones . actually , i have something here . michael : [ chuckles ] it 's , uh , a bit of a mouthful , but it definitely suits him . willow : it 's beautiful . [ scene_break ] griffin : i remember the afternoon kiki and i became neighbors . [ sighs ] my radiator was n't working . came down here to see what was going on , and her -- hers was broken , too . steam - heat in midsummer . anna : [ chuckles ] griffin : she tried to teach me the subtle art of banging on it with a wrench . [ chuckles ] ohh . even frustrated and overheated , doing battle with the radiator , she was gorgeous . impossible to look away . yeah , i did n't know it then , but i was already in love with her . anna : well , someday , those memories wo n't hurt so much , and you 'll be glad for them . griffin : i 'll have to take your word on that . anna : yeah . griffin : we should go . anna : yeah . [ dvd player opens ] anna : oh , what 's that ? griffin : i knew it would still be here . it 's `` from here to eternity . `` kiki -- she loved this movie . she insisted that i watch it . she said she was a hopeless romantic and proud of it . anna : are you ready to go ? griffin : yeah , there 's nothing left for me here . anna : okay , come on . [ scene_break ] olivia `` it was a real struggle to rebuild port charles after the earthquake , but everyone pitched in , and we are finally just now starting to make a comeback . that is why i am hoping that my daughter - in - law will make the right choice and write about some of the ways that people are coming together in this city . lulu : i write the truth . olivia : the truth is that there 's more going on in this town right now than a couple of murder investigations , okay ? the truth is that there 's a lot of good things going on here , and maybe you could choose to write about some of that . [ scene_break ] drew : easter - egg bowling ? what is that ? [ both chuckle ] kim : oh , and , uh , i see a lot of baking and cookies and candies and ... how about we add in there , uh , `` get your teeth cleaned `` ? drew : how about we add in there `` fly a plane `` ? kim : yeah , that 's fine with me , as long as it has a remote control . [ laughter ] [ scene_break ] julian : i understand that you want to do something for oscar , but i am not walking away from kim , okay ? she needs me . josslyn : wrong . you refuse to walk away from kim because you 're selfish . you do n't care that you 're taking away oscar 's dream . julian : okay , kim and drew are not getting back together just because oscar wants them to . josslyn : well , did it ever occur to you that they need each other , that they 're oscar 's parents , and they want to spend as much time as they can with their son who could be dying ? kim , oscar , and drew are a family , so why do n't you step aside and let them be a family for as much time as they 've got left ? [ scene_break ] kevin : see , there are some gaps in my knowledge of your life -- gaps that only you can fill . there may be a way to save laura .

[ groans ] ... once the divorce is final , we 'll hardly have to interact at all . kevin : you 're divorcing my wife ? [ scene_break ] laura : the way kevin 's been acting , i ca n't help but be concerned about his mental health . carly : well , it would put some things into perspective . laura : like what ? carly : well , i mean , i think kevin 's been distracted and detached , at least since i 've been released from ferncliff . i told him that i wanted to set up an appointment with him to talk about the anniversary of morgan 's death , and he basically blew me off . laura : that 's not kevin . it 's not . you know , there have been so many things that are just not kevin . mm . [ sighs ] i keep worrying that ... what ? carly : what are you worried about ? laura : ugh . a few years after ryan died , kevin had a psychotic break . he was confusing his identity with his brother 's , so now the way he 's been acting , i 'm afraid that he 's headed for another breakdown . carly : that would make sense . i mean , it would explain his odd behavior . but it does n't explain his romantic interest in ava . unless you think it 's all a part of his , you know ... losing it . laura : could n't it be ? carly : sure . but is it possible you 're looking for a reason to believe that kevin does n't really want a divorce ? [ scene_break ] ryan : laura 's having trouble accepting the end of our marriage , but i 'm hopeful she 'll make peace with things . otherwise , i 'll have to employ other means of problem - solving . kevin : no . leave her alone . ryan : that 's precisely what i 'm trying to do . laura 's safe -- for now . it 's just that ...

[ laughs ] ye - yes , felicia 's fine . it 's -- it 's so funny . i 'm not into her at all . but , to answer your question , yes . twice . kevin : you murdered two people ? ryan : all those years , you were trying so hard to fix me , and it turns out i was n't even broken . this is just who i am .

[ gasps ] oh -- oh , my goodness . oh , i love it . lulu : aww , and we love you . never , ever forget that . i know things are hard with everything you 're dealing with kevin , so i wanted you to know how special and loved you are by me and the grandkids , spencer included . laura : thank you , sweetheart . this means so much , especially now . you know that . i mean , a year ago , kevin and i were in love and we were happy , and now we are unrecognizable , and i just ca n't fathom what happened to bring us to this place . lulu : the name begins with `` a `` and ends with `` a. `` laura : yeah , i know that ava is certainly a factor , but they both insist that they did n't start seeing each other until after we had separated . this is something else . i just have n't figured it out yet . [ scene_break ] griffin : kiki would n't want us tearing each other apart . ava : probably not . but she 's dead , so she ca n't really call the shots . anna : you know , ava , if you do n't want to do this right now , there are services that will come and pack everything up for you . ava : oh , no , no . no , i do n't ... i do n't want anybody touching her things . anna : all right , well , we 'll just leave you to it , then . griffin : look , if you 're gon na -- if you 're gon na give that book away , i 'd like to have something of hers . ava : but you 've ... you 've already had plenty , have n't you ? days and nights of kiki after you drove a wedge between us . you know , you may not have killed my daughter , but you took her from me just the same . anna : let 's go . come on . let 's go . ava : no ! let him stay ! i dare you to stay and watch me as i put every bit of kiki into these boxes ! [ voice breaking ] how does it feel to be left empty- handed -- the same way i was when you stole her away from me ? [ scene_break ] anna : ava you are in terrible pain , i get that . but it does n't give you license to attack him . griffin : look , anna , it 's fine . we are both grieving . ava : do n't you dare compare your grief to mine . do you wan na know what grief looks like ? kiki , she saved every bit of her childhood . all of it . every scrape , all the stuff that i jammed into draws , back of closets . to mommy , who holds my hands when i 'm afraid . dan medals , report cards , stacks of cards . you know she saved every card i ever gave her . she used to say she was going to make a collage one day . for all of the kiki 's i knew and loved , are here . the 3-year - old ballet dancer . the 6-year old that loved roller coasters even know she was too tired to ride the ones she really wanted . this short story was written when she was 10 . the hat that she tried to knit . i did n't burry just one child , i buried all the little girls that she was when she was growing up . [ crying ] anna : aww ava is n't there someone we can call for you ? your brother or someone ? please . ryan : it 's all right , i 'm here . ava : [ crying ] [ scene_break ] laura : how did you get your hands on this privileged information ? lulu : i was dropping off a care package to dante 's old partner . laura : ah ha and you just happen to see the case file on mary pat ingle 's murder ? lulu : no ! i just happen to be taking a peek at kiki 's file . laura : ohh no . lulu : and i saw mary pat 's name . apparently , there are similarities between the cases that the police are suspecting is the beginning of a pattern . laura : so what , the police think there might be one killer ? lulu : think about it , in both instances the bodies were moved and left somewhere to be found at a party or a public event . and they were both killed with a knife or a blade of some sort . carly : ok , i 'm sorry to interrupt but are you saying that the police are investigating a serial killer ? [ scene_break ] oscar : so hard to believe how different everything was last christmas . we found my mom 's cd and then the letter . i did n't even know drew was my dad . josslyn : that is crazy . seems like drew 's been your dad for a lot longer than a year . oscar : yea josslyn : do you still wish that your mom and dad got back together ? oscar : i know it sounds dumb but yea . josslyn : it 's not dumb . oscar : childish then , immature . i sound like a little kid . but still , it would make me feel a lot better about everything if my dad was looking after my mom . but she still has julian . josslyn : well like you said , a lot can change in a year . [ scene_break ] drew : so this is the last week of the trial . teri should be able to quantify the results and let us know if there 's been any benefits . kim : i am praying , praying that the treatment works . but if she comes back and she says that tumor has n't reduced in size , i ... drew : hey , if there 's nothing left to be done for oscar , then we 'll just have to find a way to squeeze the world in whatever time he has left . [ scene_break ] willow : i got to hold my son for a while . the weight of him and the warmth helped . perfect and fragile he was . i knew i had to give him up but i physically could n't make my arms let go . i finally ask the nurse to take him . and my arms felt so empty afterward . at night i dream i am holding him again . michael : i ah , i do that too . i dream that jonah is alive and i am holding him . and when i wake up and remember , it 's like you said . my arms feel so empty . [ scene_break ] nelle : you are mistaken . i gave birth in the woods after a car accident . my baby did n't survive . obrecht : your baby was born strong and vital . if i would have given him an apt it would have been a ten . trauma did n't kill him , perhaps you did . nelle : you are crazy if you think i would ever hurt my child . everything i ever did was to protect him a wonderful life . obrecht : why does n't it sound like your child is dead now ? nelle : because i still feel like he 's with me . i miss him . i am still in mourning . why are you trying to mock my grief ? obrecht : well , while we are on the subject of grief . maxi tells me that michael corinthos is devastated by the loss of his child . but do n't you imagine the gratitude if he was to learn the truth . [ scene_break ] ava : i need to do that . i - i need to go through everything . ryan : and you shall , but not everything needs to be done today . anna : i 'm glad you 're here , kevin . you know , we came . we thought maybe we could help in some way . ryan : well , i do n't know how much help he can offer . let 's go , ava . you can look through kiki 's things later at home . ava : y - yes , i think i -- that 's a good idea . ryan : oh , uh , do lock up when you leave . thank you . anna : oh , griffin . [ sighs ] do n't let her anger and -- and ... bitterness get to you . you know , i mean , that is the last thing that kiki would 've wanted , you know ? [ scene_break ] kim : parents entering ! oscar : all clear ? as you can see . drew : [ chuckles ] where 's joss ? oscar : i do n't know . she took off with some errand to run or something , but check this out . kim : [ chuckles ] [ scene_break ] josslyn : [ sighs ] julian : hey , josslyn . everything okay with oscar ? josslyn : uh , yeah , he 's doing pretty good today , actually . julian : ah , glad to hear it . actually , i 'm gon na stop by the hospital later when my manager gets in to cover me . i 'd like to bring , uh , oscar his favorite sandwich . plus , it 'd be nice to be there for kim , as well . josslyn : yeah , well , the best way to help kim is to help oscar , right ? julian : yeah , actually , i 'd really like to help oscar . any idea how i might be able to do that ? josslyn : actually , i do . you need to give up kim . [ scene_break ] carly : how closely have the police been able to link the murders ? lulu : i 'm not sure . i 'm -- [ quietly ] i know they 're investigating them together , but i do n't know the specifics . carly : i was questioned twice for mary pat ingles . poor griffin munro was held overnight as a suspect . i 'm just wondering , what if it 's a part of the pattern -- that the killer frames an obvious suspect ? lulu : oh , see , now , that 's an angle i had n't considered , 'cause you were an obvious suspect for mary pat ... carly : yeah . lulu : ... just like griffin is for kiki . yeah , and there 's a strong possibility that the killer is n't finished and they 're gon na target somebody else . why have n't the police said anything ? laura : i do n't know . ah . maybe the mayor can enlighten us . [ scene_break ] nelle : you 're a disgraced doctor , a felon . michael would never believe anything that you had to say . obrecht : and you framed his mother for attempted murder . i do n't think it 's a far stretch for michael to believe you gave him a dead baby instead of his own . however , i do n't need to convince him . all i need to do is suggest they perform a dna test on the poor deceased child . nelle : michael is not worthy of my son . he betrayed me . he wanted to steal my baby and let his bitch of a mother help raise him . well , that 's not gon na happen , all right ? carly does n't get to win . obrecht : my concern is with the baby i delivered that night . huh . if you do n't tell me where he is , i shall feel compelled to tell the police everything . your move . since you refuse to answer , i can only assume that you dispatched with some poor child to switch him with your own . nelle : stop saying that . i did n't kill any baby . obrecht : prove it . nelle : [ sighs ] after you left me , i made my way back to the road . i thought maybe i could hitch a ride to sawyer and then figure out some way across the border . but even as i was trying to make a plan , i knew that it would never work . michael 's family would never allow me to keep my baby . and then fate stepped in . obrecht : and how did fate come to your assistance ? nelle : brad cooper was on the side of the road . he had the newborn that he and lucas were going to adopt , and the baby had died . brad was a wreck . lucas had n't even seen him because he was at the hospital . obrecht : perhaps fate showed up for you after all . you gave brad your healthy baby and passed the other poor child off as your own . nelle : my son is with people who truly want him and love him -- people more deserving than michael and his mother . [ scene_break ] michael : you know , you should meet my godson . you know , he 's adorable . [ chuckles ] and i got to admit , just holding him makes me feel so good . you know , my family is crazy about him . willow : sounds like a very lucky little boy to have so many people who love him . michael : he came into our -- our lives right when we were at our lowest , and he really brought joy back into our hearts . so i think that we 're the lucky ones to be able to love wiley the way that we do . [ scene_break ] josslyn : oscar 's parents have a real connection . they rely on each other . they 're getting closer all the time , and for oscar , that is the one upside of him being sick . julian : but it 's a fantasy . kim and drew -- they 're not together . josslyn : well , they could be if you 'd step aside . you are the one person that can make oscar 's wish come true . [ scene_break ] laura : have the police advised you that there 's a possible serial killer on the loose ? ned : laura , please . keep your voice down . your reaction is exactly the response i 'm trying to avoid . lulu : so you admit the police are investigating a serial killer . ned : the police suspect that there may be one , yes . laura : well , do n't you think people have a right to know that ? ned : i 'm trying to avoid a panic , okay ? look , the investigation is ongoing . nothing has been confirmed yet . lulu : can i quote you on that ? my story comes out tomorrow . ned : tomo -- lulu , look , that is completely irresponsible journalism . do you really want to create a wave of panic and paranoia just to sell a few extra newspapers ? olivia : lulu , lulu , lulu , lulu . -really ? i - i would really love to give you an exclusive sneak peek at our preparations for the upcoming benefit . it 's on behalf of pediatric cancer , which , as you can imagine , is a cause near and dear to the quartermaine 's heart . i just thought that maybe you 'd really like to write about some of the good things that people are doing in this town for a change .

[ scene_break ] carly : [ gasps ] oh , my ... kevin ! you scared me . ryan : why so jumpy ? carly : i do n't know , i - i guess it 's just the day that i 'm [ chuckling ] having . so , uh , what can i do for you ? ryan : well , you wanted information on your neighbor at ferncliff . carly : did you find something out besides a name ? ryan : i did . and i could n't wait to share the truth with you personally . [ scene_break ] nelle : now that you know everything ... what are you going to do ? please leave my son with brad and lucas . they deserve him . michael does n't . obrecht : not to worry , my dear . i find the truth is best left unsaid ... ... until one really needs it . [ scene_break ] willow : [ breathes shakily ] what did -- what did you say your godson 's name is ? michael : it 's , uh , wiley cooper - jones . actually , i have something here . michael : [ chuckles ] it 's , uh , a bit of a mouthful , but it definitely suits him . willow : it 's beautiful .

[ dvd player opens ] anna : oh , what 's that ? griffin : i knew it would still be here . it 's `` from here to eternity . `` kiki -- she loved this movie . she insisted that i watch it . she said she was a hopeless romantic and proud of it . anna : are you ready to go ? griffin : yeah , there 's nothing left for me here . anna : okay , come on .

[ laughter ] [ scene_break ] julian : i understand that you want to do something for oscar , but i am not walking away from kim , okay ? she needs me . josslyn : wrong . you refuse to walk away from kim because you 're selfish . you do n't care that you 're taking away oscar 's dream . julian : okay , kim and drew are not getting back together just because oscar wants them to . josslyn : well , did it ever occur to you that they need each other , that they 're oscar 's parents , and they want to spend as much time as they can with their son who could be dying ? kim , oscar , and drew are a family , so why do n't you step aside and let them be a family for as much time as they 've got left ?

[ scene_break ] mac : why am i the key ? jill : we have to make katherine realize the harm she 's doing -- to her health , to her family , to her friends . mac : no , i understand that , but why do i have to be a part of it ? jill : because you have so much influence with your grandmother . mac : when were you planning on doing this ? jill : this evening . mac : fine . i have no problem being here . jill : well , you might when you hear what 's involved . mac : what do you mean ? jill : we 're not gathering here just to talk katherine out of drinking . i mean , we 've tried that till we 're blue in the face . we 're staging what is called an intervention . mac : what 's the difference ? jill : we all get together and we tell katherine that if she does n't get help , if she does n't go into rehab , if she continues down her destructive path ... she 's gon na lose us , gon na lose every one of us . mac : you mean we abandon her ? jill : if that 's what it takes , mackenzie , yes . mac : is n't that a little extreme ? jill : i do n't know . i do n't know . it seems to have worked for the families of some other alcoholics . sometimes it 's the only thing that does work . mac : i know , but -- jill : hopefully , by threatening to sever our ties with her , it 'll scare some sense into katherine . and then , if she agrees to get help , we do n't have to go through with it anyway . mac : if you ask me , jill , it 's awful -- getting everyone to gang up on my grandma like that . jill : think this is easy for me ? she 's my mother . i love her , too . mac : oh , yeah . that 's why you 're so nice to her all the time . jill : mackenzie , please listen to me ! mac : no ! this intervention stuff -- it 's mean . i can not hurt my grandma like that . jill : do you think the rest of us want to hurt her ? we 're trying to save her life ! mac : sure , you say that , but for all i know , you could be trying to get rid of her for awhile . jill : why would i want to do that ? mac : you 'd have your father and this house to yourself . jill : oh , my god , that 's absurd ! mac : maybe it is . maybe you have changed , jill . maybe you are this wonderful , loving daughter . but i still ca n't do it . i ca n't walk away from my grandma . i ca n't . jill : do n't you understand you have to ? we all have to , or she 's gon na die . this is deadly serious , mackenzie . this is the end of the road for her . please , please , be at the intervention . do n't let us down . kay : hmph . so you think you 're going to stage an intervention for me .

( sighs ) sharon : so you 're saying you do n't think i should turn myself in ? michael : i 'm just saying that things are a lot more uncertain now . i mean , they might not charge you with murder . but they could charge you with obstruction of justice , tampering with the evidence . i mean , who knows what else ? nick : i think you should do it . sharon : really ? nick : yeah . we do n't have a lot of options here . we could sit around and hope that cameron does n't find the body , but that is taking too big of a chance . sharon : what do you think , michael ? michael : okay . before i say anything , i need to know , are you officially retaining my services ? nick : you 're hired . michael : okay . which means from now on , you will do exactly as i say , even if you do n't like it . nick : fine . michael : okay . then let 's get down to the police station and get this over with .

[ scene_break ] valentin : this is in answer to your list . it 's a pledge , a contract , if you will . all the things that i can promise you , starting at the top , because it was your top concern . i will never turn to anna again in desire or desperation . and if i see her , which i 'm sure to do , i will be polite , and i will move on without a second glance or a second thought . nina : that sounds great in theory . valentin : no , no , no . i 'm not -- i 'm not done . this is my top concern . i promise you that charlotte will always come first . ahead of my own work , my own ambition . and if that 's not enough , i 've actually added a few more . i promise to value , support , and honor you , not by putting you on a pedestal , but by accepting that you are a complicated , flesh - and - blood woman who is my equal in every way , with a life , career , and dreams of her own . nina : that 's every woman 's fantasy . valentin : i do n't care about every woman . i care about you . and if you put my ring back on your finger , and if you come back to me , i 'll spend the rest of my life making sure you do n't regret that . this is my solemn vow . nina : this is a great pledge . it 's amazing . it 's missing something . i want you to tell me this . what if i do come back to you and charlotte and we rebuild a life together ? can you promise me you wo n't do anything to disrupt that life ? do you promise me that you wo n't do anything to take you away from me ? valentin : no . no , i ca n't make that promise . [ scene_break ] kiki : franco , you have a catalog of work that could bring in hundreds of thousands , if not millions , of dollars . think about everything that you could do for elizabeth and her boys . franco : i am thinking about it , but i 'm not sure that elizabeth would appreciate that kind of ... kiki : all right . well , if the money 's no good to you , then you could always give it to me to help me cover the rent you 've left me with now that you 've ditched me for another roommate . or you could always float me a loan for med school . franco : med schools ? seriously ? kiki : yeah , i 'm considering it . franco : well , for what my vote is worth , i think you 'd do great . kiki : thanks . and for what my vote is worth , i think you should exhibit and sell your paintings . it 's a way to turn something bad into something good . not just for you and my mom , but elizabeth and her boys . i mean , you could just put the money in a trust for them . but most of all , i think it would be good for you . franco : kiki , i just finished telling you how looking at those paintings makes me feel about myself . kiki : okay , but destroying the paintings is n't gon na change your past . if you -- if you give them back to the art world , you might be able to redeem them . i mean , your work , it forces people to confront themselves . it makes them step out of their comfort zones . that 's a gift , franco . a lot of artists strive their whole lives to achieve that . you owe it to the world to just put your work out there and let people react to it the way they 're gon na react to it . and i think this exhibit could be a good way for you and my mom both to find beauty in the world again . franco : `` beauty `` is the last thing i think of when i look at these paintings . kiki : yeah ? 'cause , you know , you once told me that an artist does n't own his work . franco : [ laughs ] kiki : you remember . it 's something that he takes from the world and he transforms in his own way , and then he gives back . you remember ? i ... yeah , so , what was that ? a load of bull over wine and cheese ? or did you mean it ? oh , uh , and , by the way , welcome back . i missed you . [ scene_break ] griffin : [ sighs ] look , i am sorry if my insisting we go to the concert led to your getting sick . ava : that 's what i get for leaving the house . i should have trusted my instincts . so , the next time you get some bright idea for an excursion to expand my horizons , why do n't you take pity on somebody else instead , all right ? griffin : ava , you know i do n't pity you . come on . friends do n't let friends hide from the world or suffer allergic reactions to bee stings . look , by the way , i ca n't thank you enough for the lavender oil . the least i can do is repay you and give you a ride home . ava : i do n't want your thanks . and i do n't need a ride home . i 'll wait outside for kiki to pick me up . and in the meantime ... [ elevator bell dings , door opens ] ava : ... why do n't you find some other soul to save , huh ? elizabeth : what was that about ? griffin : uh ... i wish i knew . [ scene_break ] valentin : you asked for the truth . here it is : i can give you my life . i can give you my love . i can share with you my heart , my most precious daughter . but i ca n't promise you that i will always stay within the confines of the law . it 's actually too late , because i 've already done things that ca n't be undone , things that come with certain associations , commitments that still resonate . nina : are you admitting that you 're a criminal ? valentin : i 'm saying there are certain circumstances in my life that make me complicated . i love you . i love you . when i 'm away from you , i just want to see you again . nina : if i allow myself to believe you and you pull the rug out from under me again ... valentin : i screwed up . i admit that , but i never stopped loving you . nina , i 'm a man who spent his life chasing money as a substitute for happiness , because i just did n't believe that happiness was attainable . then i had charlotte . and i met you . and now i know what happiness is . and i want you in my life for the rest of my life . but i wo n't do that making false promises . nina , i 'm a man who 's done some bad things , and i ca n't promise you that i 'll never do bad things again . but i can promise you that i 'll never , ever do bad things to you or charlotte . can you accept that ? can you take me for who i am ? [ elevator whirs ] nina : valentin ... [ sighs ] valentin : right on time . watch me ignore her . [ scene_break ] anna : so , thank you very much for agreeing to meet with me . you want a seat ? man : sure . how could i refuse when you mentioned the `` berlin diamonds `` ? anna : right . i know that you consult with the wsb and that you did , in fact , examine those same diamonds when they were brought in to the authorities . my question to you is ... do you think it 's possible that there was a stray stone ? [ scene_break ] nina : maybe i do n't want to turn a blind eye to the worst part of you . maybe i think you can do better than that . maybe i believe that charlotte and i deserve better than that . valentin : better than me ? oh . i 'm sure of it . [ sighs ] the only thing i can give you is the truth about myself . i love you . my love for you is very real . i think you know that . and i will do everything that 's written down on that page . but i wo n't beg . not anymore . and i think you know that , too . [ scene_break ] anna : is it a berlin diamond ? man : how did you get ahold of this ? [ scene_break ] ava : first you insist on taking me to the hospital . then you abandon me there ! [ door slams ] kiki : i 'm sorry . i had something i had to take care of . but i asked griffin to bring you home . ava : i was two minutes from calling an uber . kiki : well , then i 'm glad i got there when i did . and you got a chance to fill your prescription . you know what ? why do n't you hop into bed ? i 'll grab you something to eat , and then you can take your medication . ava : why does everybody think that i need constant attention ? am i that helpless ? that needy ? kiki : no . that 's not it at all . griffin and i want to help . why push us away ? ava : not you . never you . kiki : well , then , why do n't you give us imperfect humans a chance to help you , okay ? ava : okay . but just let me take care of myself . i 'll have something to eat , i 'll take my medication , i 'll climb into bed , but you should go , please . i do n't want you getting the flu . kiki : okay , fine . but i 'm gon na check in with you later , okay ? love you . ava : love you . mwah . bye . [ door closes ] ava : what could anyone ever feel for you but pity ? [ scene_break ] elizabeth : it 's only natural that ava is struggling with her recovery . it 's a huge adjustment . do n't take her attitude personally . griffin : all right , i should n't , but i [ sighs ] i have to admit i did n't see that one coming . i thought we were getting somewhere . elizabeth : with the recovery ? griffin : she needs to see that her life is n't over . elizabeth : oh , and because you 're you , you volunteered to be the someone to help her see it ? griffin : look , ava ... ava accused me of trying to `` save her soul . `` that 's an exaggeration , but i ... i want to help her realize that she can still live a productive life . and i genuinely like the woman . elizabeth : she 's lucky to have you on her side . i remember when you used to talk to me about redemption and forgiveness with franco . you were right . so just hang in there with ava . if anyone can save her soul , it 's you .

mattie : turns out dad is a master detective . can i be excused ? i need to brush my teeth . charlie : what did dad do now ? ashley : so , graham told both dina and me -- and everybody else -- that both his parents were dead . but i did just a little bit of digging , and i found out that his mother is very much alive . victor : hmmm . would n't be the first son who would want one of his parents out of the way . ashley : that 's true , but it 's just the opposite . he 's taking excellent care of her , victor . he 's footing the bill for a very expensive senior - living facility in florida . victor : really ? why would he lie ? what 's his angle ? ashley : i have n't figured that out . but i do know that he 's gone to a lot of trouble to worm his way into my mother 's life . they did not meet by accident . he honed in on her , and then gave her some sob story about being an orphan . victor : so , what was your mother 's reaction when she found out the truth ? ashley : well , i 'm just about to find that out . victor : you 're on the way to see her now ? ashley : yes , i am . hopefully , with a little bit of luck , my mother 's gon na realize that she 's been played , and she 's gon na give this companion the boot . dina : come in . graham : were n't we scheduled to meet later ? dina : uh , this -- this ca n't wait . graham : what is it , dina ? dina : i 've made a terrible , terrible mistake . i never should have told you about ashley not being john abbott 's daughter . graham : there 's no harm done . since ashley 's aware , and has been for years . dina : that does n't make it public knowledge . nor is what i did to my husband and my daughter any less horrid . graham : well , i 'm glad you opened up to me . dina : well , i 'm not . because i swore i would take this to my grave . graham : you know you can entrust any and all of your secrets to me . you must know that . dina : you can never tell a living soul what i shared with you . and if you tell anyone , especially ashley , what we have together will end . you will be dead to me . charlie : so you 're not gon na tell me what went down between mattie and dad ?

charlie : psh ... i do n't get her deal with the guy . i mean , dudes with guitars ? come on . lily : well , not the first girl to fall for a musician . charlie : yeah , but mattie 's got big brains . and do n't tell her i said this , but she 's pretty . and witty and ... fun to be around . she 's in a whole nother hemisphere from this wannabe rockstar . lily : that 's really sweet of you . i agree . charlie : yet , and that being said ... mattie 's pretty good at sizing people up , right ?

ashley 's made it clear she has n't forgiven you . how do you expect to forge a relationship with her ? dina : perhaps a little time , hm ? graham : ashley will always feel that you ruined the one thing that meant the most to her -- her relationship with john abbott . dina : i am not going back to europe , and that 's final . and furthermore , i do n't need you instructing me about my own daughter . graham : consider the matter dropped . dina : good . graham : can i give you a ride in to work later ? dina : oh , no . i 'm too wiped out . i 'm not going in today . i do n't think jack will be there , either . well , he went out of town last night with victor newman 's wife . graham : i thought victor and his wife -- what was her name again ? dina : nikki . graham : right . i was under they impression that they were separated ? dina : so does jack , but , uh , i 'm not so sure . graham : you think nikki 's leading on your son while she 's ... ? dina : when you have an unhappy marriage , it 's still a marriage . and i sure learned that the hard way . but what 's even more frustrating is the fact that my children are making the same mistakes that i did .

[ stammering ] ... he has a -- a distant aunt or something . ashley : it 's his mother . dina : well , this is -- this is foolishness . ashley : look , i made a call last night to confirm my suspicions . dina : you spoke to this woman ? and she told you that she was graham 's mother ? ashley : not exactly . but it was obvious from what she said on the phone . dina : oh , i see . now you 're jumping again , as usual , to these ridiculous , erroneous conclusions . ashley : if you had heard what she said on the phone , mother , it was very clear . dina : oh , well , i do n't believe it . ashley : look , i 'm trying to put this together . he has a mother who 's very much alive , after he told us all she was dead . the way that he set it up for him to meet you at that party in monte carlo . dina : you 're twisting facts . ashley : you know what i see ? i see a man who has inserted himself into every aspect of your life . who is ingratiated himself to the point where you are leaving him the bulk of your estate . dina : you know , all this talk about graham 's agenda ... why do n't we focus on yours ? ashley : i do n't have an agenda , except i 'm trying to look out for you . dina : oh , by sowing doubt and mistrust ? ashley : that is what graham 's doing . ca n't you see that ? he 's trying to turn you against your own children . dina : you know , with all your foolishness , ashley ... that might just work ! victor : good . good . good . turn it over . turn the right over . look . like that . good . good . all right . damn good job . graham : coming from victor newman , that 's high praise indeed . victor : [ chuckles ] you should keep it up . graham : will do . victor : yep . good for you . excuse me . were you home last night ? nikki : oh , hi . victor : did n't answer your phone . nikki : my -- my phone was turned off . victor : oh . was that the case this morning , as well ? nikki : and that 's your business because ... ? victor : because when i call you and leave a message , i expect you to return my call . nikki : oh , well , i would have gotten around to it . eventually . i think maybe i 'm just following your example . throughout our marriage , you always decided where we would go , when we would go , what we would do . and i find it quite exhilarating to do the same . victor : well , i 'm so happy to know that you 're feeling exhilarated , okay ? where were you last night ? nikki : [ laughs ] if i 'm not going to jump to answer my phone when you call , why on earth would i run my itinerary past you ? victor : so , this new freedom allows you to not answer phone calls , not return them , and , uh , disappear overnight . nikki : i enjoyed myself . the peace and the quiet . let 's just leave it at that . victor : were you with jack abbott last night ? mattie : unlock the car . charlie : oh , she speaks ! mattie : what do you want , charlie ? charlie : look , are you mad about the stuff i said about you cutting class ? 'cause , believe me , i never saw that coming . mattie : it was under extreme and urgent circumstances . mom and dad were being unfair in their demands . it was torture missing reed that much . skipping first period was the only way i could see him . charlie : well , i just wish you would have told me about it first . mattie : why ? so you could 've told me to `` dump that loser `` like you always do ? charlie : no , so i could teach you how to beat the system so you would n't get busted . i mean , that 's how you got caught , right ? school called ? they always do . mattie : wish i 'd know that . charlie : well , you 're an innocent who never breaks the rules . me ? i 'm an expert . mattie : i 'll remember that for next time . charlie : so , uh ... what went down between you and dad ? mom did n't want to get into it . mattie : oh , not much . he just made everything a million times worse . cane : is it okay i stopped by ? lily : um , sure . but the -- the kids are n't here . cane : yeah , i know . i timed it that way , that they 're gone . lily : oh . did you want to talk about mattie ? cane : no , actually , i - i need to talk about , uh ... you and me and the kids , yeah . lily : uh ... yeah . i do n't know if i 'm ready for anything that deep right now . cane : all right , look , the clock is ticking on our marriage . and we ca n't just keep putting this off , okay ? we need to talk about this . lily : i 'm not . you come by when you want . you see the kids when you want . cane : but we never talk about what 's wrong . lily : well , we did plenty of that before i asked you to move out , and it got us nowhere . cane : all right , see , that 's why this needs to change , all right ? because this separation is affecting the kids . you know that , right ? lily : yes , i do . and it 'll take them some time to get used to it . cane : you know mattie 's acting out . could you imagine months ago that you and i would have said that mattie 's acting out ? lily : cane , it 's no great revelation that our daughter 's been affected , and charlie , too . the other day , he blamed himself for not making the football team . cane : yeah , i know . he said the same to me . and you think it 's my fault , do n't you ? [ scoffs ] it 's okay . you do n't have to say it . it is my fault he did n't make the team . i know that . 'cause all this turmoil , it 's taking its toll on the kids . which is why we need to address this now , not later . cane : lily . lily : no , cane . i - i know what you 're gon na say . you 're gon na ask if you can move back in . and the answer is no . i 'm sorry . it might be better for you , or for the kids , but i -- i ca n't do it . okay ? [ stammers ] we ca n't just press the panic button because this is hard . cane : i know . lily : i told you that i needed time away from you to see how i feel . i ca n't just move that process along . cane : and i understand . lily : then why are you forcing this ? cane : because this is n't just about me . this is about our kids . look , we 're in the kitchen and , you know , there 's the spot that charlie hit his head on when he was a little toddler , you remember that ? and we panicked , and we rushed him to the hospital . and out on the sofa there is where mattie used to read to us when she was 4 years old , and it 's where you and i would sit , and we would laugh and we would make love . and i want that back . i want to come home . i want to come home to you . i want to be in the bed with you at night . i want to be with the woman that i chose for the rest of my life . listen to me , i know -- i know this is a lot of hard work . but we ca n't fix our marriage , baby , if i 'm not here . we ca n't do it . lily : cane , i just know ... i need this home to be a safe space for me . and i need you to respect that . cane : [ scoffs ] i should 've known that this would be a tough sell . lily : well , you could have saved yourself a trip . cane : it 's just , what you and i have is too precious not to fight for . lily : i do n't want to fight . cane : i do n't want to fight . that 's why i think , you know , there 's a compromise . and -- and if we make that compromise , maybe we can fix this . mattie : after dad got that call from walnut grove , he went straight to reed 's house on a hunch . charlie : so , he caught you there ? mattie : no . i - i 'd left by then . charlie : so then how did dad know you were there for sure ? mattie : i dropped my headband . charlie : amateur . anyway , reed 's mom came home in the middle of dad yelling at reed , so it was this massive mess . talk about humiliating . charlie : i 'm sorry , sis , but maybe it 's no surprise that dad went off on you . you already know you 're not supposed to be with reed . mattie : we were just hanging out . so what ? charlie : and ? mattie : listening to music . charlie : and ? mattie : kissing a little . but that 's it . charlie : yeah , that better be it . you 're only 16 . mattie : so are you , twin . charlie : yeah , but i 'm so much more worldly . mattie : ugggh ! let me out of this car ! charlie : okay , how about this . you want to date a guy dad wo n't hate , i 'll ask around . mattie : sure . if you let me pick out your dates . charlie : whatever . honestly , reed ca n't be worth all this trouble . mattie : you never liked him because you both were once into the same girl . charlie : and he 's obnoxious . he 's got this huge ego . mattie : this is about dad . reed 's mom hates him because of what he did to the company . if he had n't messed up so badly , nobody would be saying anything . victor : you running away or what ? nikki : no , i am walking away from a conversation that has digressed into something i 'm not interested in . victor : a simple question . where were you last night ? nikki : you are way out of line . victor : really ? where were you last night ? nikki : we are living apart . and that means that my personal life is none of your concern . nor is it your concern the time that i choose to spend with my friends , like jack . victor : you are still my wife ! nikki : well , if you want it to stay that way , you better not speak to me like i 'm one of your minions , because i am not . now , about these phone messages . victor : important messages . nikki : yes . about nicholas and faith . that is something we need to deal with . victor : right here , right now . unless , of course , you want to play with your friends . nikki : i will always have time to speak to you about our children or grandchildren , without fail . victor : then let 's do it right now , right here . nikki : fine . but i will not discuss jack with you . victor : spare me . jack : you 're sure about this ? ashley : i made a call , and i spoke to a woman that i 'm certain is graham 's mother . jack : good . now mother ca n't deny -- ashley : no , i already spoke with her , and she shut me down . jack : this is absolute proof , ash . ashley : not according to our mother . she ca n't even begin to entertain the possibility that graham could have been lying to her this whole time , jack . jack : well , would n't it be nice if she gave the same benefit of the doubt to her children that she gives to this guy . ashley : yes , it would be . so what are we gon na do ? jack : we keep digging . if this guy would lie about his mother being gone -- ashley : then he 's lying about other things , obviously . jack : why would it be important to him that mother think both his parents are gone ? ashley : that was bugging me , too . i almost booked a flight down to boca today . till i realized that graham 's poor mother probably has no idea about these lies that he 's been spinning . jack : yeah , i 'm not sure pressuring her is the right thing to do right now . ashley : so ? i - i 've hit a wall . jack : if only we knew if mother had some connection with her before . ashley : i watched her very carefully when i said the words `` boca `` and `` florida . `` jack : and ? nothing ? ashley : nothing . well , except she was wondering if we were gon na ship her there or something . jack : you know what ? maybe mother does n't have such a bad idea , after all . cane : what if we go and see a marriage counselor ? lily : [ scoffs ] i ca n't believe you 're saying this . cane : why ? 'cause i did n't want to go the last time , after -- lily : yeah , after my affair . cane : okay . lily : and , you know , maybe if we had gone then , we would n't be here right now . cane : okay . it 's not too late . lily : cane , you 're having a child with another woman . how are we gon na bounce back from that ? cane : if -- if we do n't talk about this , we 're not gon na be able to fix our marriage . and i ca n't just step back and just let my marriage just lay down and die . and i ca n't imagine that you want to do that , either . lily : i just do n't know if i have it in my to go and re - live everything in front of a stranger . cane : but it ca n't be any harder than it already is . if we do n't talk about this , we ca n't fix our marriage . look ... i know this is n't easy for you , but ... i know every time you see juliet walking around , it reminds you of how i betrayed you . i know this . lily : and you think that can be fixed ? cane : i think we can face this if we go into a room that 's a controlled environment , with a professional who can help facilitate the conversation . we can acknowledge each other 's hurt , and we can acknowledge each other 's truth . and we can push past the pain . and if we can do that , sweetheart , then maybe somehow we can save our marriage and put our family back together . and then i can just ... you 'll trust me again . lily : okay . i 'll try it . nikki : tell me this . why was it so very imperative that we talk about nicholas and faith this very minute ? victor : because i wanted to tell you in person . you had no right to interfere . not your place . nikki : really ? it 's my family , too . victor : what , that means that you go to nick and tell him that i visited her in camp ? nikki : i was upset that you went around our son . victor : then you should have come to me and discussed it with me . nikki : nicholas deserved to know . victor : you know what this has done ? this has ruined my relationship with that adorable granddaughter of mine , okay ? she no longer trusts me . it 's the only relationship that she could count on . nikki : and who 's fault is that ? she can count on me . she always has . victor : now , does that mean you 're throwing in your lot with nicholas ? nikki : oh , god ! why does everything always have to come down to either your side or his side ? victor : because it does ! you 're making a mistake . a big mistake . nikki : you just made a scene in the gym . good going . victor : to hell with it . i do n't care . dina : [ sighs ] jack : we 're so grateful for your offer to , uh , tour your complex so we can see if any of the models work for our mother . ashley : yeah , it seems like it would be a great fit for her . jack : listen , we were turned on to boca pointe by a friend of ours . his mother is there . it 's myrna bloodworth ? lloyd : oh , yes . mrs. bloodworth has our most luxurious unit . jack : i 've no doubt . how long has she been there ? lloyd : since boca pointe opened in 2012 . jack : uh , i 'll look into flights from genoa city to boca raton , and i 'll get back to you with a schedule . lloyd : mrs. bloodworth is from genoa city , as well . i 'm sure she 'll be excited to have a visitor from her old hometown . jack : thank you very much for your help . we 'll see you soon . did you know that ? ashley : what , that myrna bloodworth was from genoa city ? of course not ! jack , that means graham 's from here , too . jack : yeah , funny he never mentioned that in conversation . ashley : you know , i 've been thinking all this time that graham latched onto our mother just a few years ago . but what if this obsession goes back even further ? and what the hell started it ? [ next_on ] nick : when my dad is involved , you have to be prepared for anything . victor : have you arrived in genoa city yet ? i 'm at the ranch , so get here as soon as possible . hilary : lily 's busy . they 're going to marriage counseling today . why do n't we take a final moment -- lily : sorry , i - i can't . | nikki and jack spend quality time together at the cabin . they also share a kiss and then she snuggles in his arms . ashley meets victor at the athletic club and she congratulates him on business venture . dina , in bed asleep , dreams of the argument that she had with ashley over her real father . dina wakes up and calls for graham . lily and cane discuss their getting back together but lily is reluctant to take him back after him having a child with another woman . cane reminds her of all the good times they had with the children . cane finally manages to talk her into going to a marriage counselor with him . lily , mattie and charlie have breakfast together but then mattie tells charlie that cane is n't the only one who had messed up . charlie wants to know what is going on . mattie tells him that she had been caught seeing reed when she was forbidden to see him . ashley fills victor in that graham had lied to dina about his mother being dead when she was n't dead at all . dina tells graham that she had made a mistake in telling him about ashley 's real father . she forbids graham from telling anyone else about this conversation or he will be dead to her . ashley tells victor that she will have a talk with dina about graham and the lies he had been telling . when ashley confronts dina about graham and his mother , dina is less than happy about ashley still meddling in her business . | <s>[INST] jack : sleep well ? nikki : oh . in that bed with this blissful quiet ? how could i not ? jack : well , you could pretend you missed having me in that bed with you . nikki : [ chuckles ] no pretense necessary . you and i agreed -- jack : hey , hey , hey . you can make it all up to me with a good - morning kiss . nikki : oh . well ... good morning . thank you for remembering my tea . jack : always . always . i need the java in the morning , even if it comes out of a coffeemaker we 've had here for decades . nikki : hmm . jack : no double - shot , no - foam soy lattes for me . nikki : well , i 'll stick with my tried and true any time . jack : that almost sounds like a reference to victor . nikki : tried ? yes . true ? not so much . why do you think i 'm here ? [ jack chuckles ] ashley : [ sighs ] victor . victor : hi . ashley : hi . congratulations on your brilliant idea . victor : what idea ? ashley : well , the idea you had to have abby move into the ranch with you . she loves it there . victor : oh ! i love having her there . you know that . looking at her beautiful face every day , i love it . ashley : yeah , that 's great . you know , there 's one more thing . victor : hmm ? ashley : do you remember your first take when you met graham bloodworth ? victor : i suggested that he was after dina 's money . ashley : yeah . well , i 've been keeping a closer eye on him . victor : and was i correct ? ashley : mm - hmm . victor : wow . are you going to do something about it ? ashley : it 's more difficult than you 'd think . victor : is your mother all right ? dina : brent , if you ever say one word -- one word about our secret -- i 'll kill you . brent : i want my daughter to know me . to look at me as her father . dina : you 're not going to see ashley again . you 're not going to try to reach out to her in any way . you 've done all the damage i intend to allow . and you will never , never be a father to her . dina : [ gasps ] graham ? graham ! [ whimpers ] lily : charlie , what 's taking you so long ? charlie : are you finished yet ? lily : no , she 's not . and your breakfast is getting cold . charlie : well , i 'm just gon na grab a protein bar . lily : no , sit down and eat , please . charlie : mom , i -- lily : hey . having meals together is important , okay ? we have to spend more time together , not less . charlie : [ snapping ] mattie : do n't snap your fingers at me . i have a name . charlie : yeah , and if i have to get in on this `` family togetherness `` deal , so do you . so , tell us , mattie . how 's your life ? mattie : you so do n't want to go there right now . lily : mattie , we 've discussed this . mattie : and yet i am still grounded . charlie : say what ? mattie : turns out dad 's not the only one who can mess up around here . additional sponsorship charlie : okay , look , somebody throw me a spoiler . what 's up ? lily : your sister cut class yesterday . charlie : okay , good one . what 's the real story ? so , i 'm being pranked ? joke 's on charlie . everybody yell `` gotcha ! `` okay , you 're saying my sister , the multiple - ap - class - taking , curve - setting , super - straight arrow , cut ? for what ? to build a robot ? to have a quick consult with nasa ? what ? mattie : i was with reed . charlie : i thought you were n't seeing him anymore . mattie : that was the edict . charlie : which you ignored and got caught ? mattie : turns out dad is a master detective . can i be excused ? i need to brush my teeth . charlie : what did dad do now ? ashley : so , graham told both dina and me -- and everybody else -- that both his parents were dead . but i did just a little bit of digging , and i found out that his mother is very much alive . victor : hmmm . would n't be the first son who would want one of his parents out of the way . ashley : that 's true , but it 's just the opposite . he 's taking excellent care of her , victor . he 's footing the bill for a very expensive senior - living facility in florida . victor : really ? why would he lie ? what 's his angle ? ashley : i have n't figured that out . but i do know that he 's gone to a lot of trouble to worm his way into my mother 's life . they did not meet by accident . he honed in on her , and then gave her some sob story about being an orphan . victor : so , what was your mother 's reaction when she found out the truth ? ashley : well , i 'm just about to find that out . victor : you 're on the way to see her now ? ashley : yes , i am . hopefully , with a little bit of luck , my mother 's gon na realize that she 's been played , and she 's gon na give this companion the boot . dina : come in . graham : were n't we scheduled to meet later ? dina : uh , this -- this ca n't wait . graham : what is it , dina ? dina : i 've made a terrible , terrible mistake . i never should have told you about ashley not being john abbott 's daughter . graham : there 's no harm done . since ashley 's aware , and has been for years . dina : that does n't make it public knowledge . nor is what i did to my husband and my daughter any less horrid . graham : well , i 'm glad you opened up to me . dina : well , i 'm not . because i swore i would take this to my grave . graham : you know you can entrust any and all of your secrets to me . you must know that . dina : you can never tell a living soul what i shared with you . and if you tell anyone , especially ashley , what we have together will end . you will be dead to me . charlie : so you 're not gon na tell me what went down between mattie and dad ? lily : i would rather hear about you . this time last year , you were never around for breakfast . charlie : well , i mean , i had early - morning practice . not anymore , though . lily : how do you like cross - country ? charlie : i mean ... it 's a great team . they went to state champions last year , and , uh ... this practice schedule 's easier to handle . lily : but ? charlie : [ sighs ] i miss football . the guys , hanging out . lily : yeah , but you still see them . charlie : it 's different now . lily : well , i 'm sure once , you know , season 's over , everything will go back to normal . charlie : you know , i just keep kicking myself . you know , if i was just a little better , i would have made the team . look , do n't be too hard on mattie . she 's smart enough to skip a few lousy classes . lily : what do you think of reed ? charlie : psh ... i do n't get her deal with the guy . i mean , dudes with guitars ? come on . lily : well , not the first girl to fall for a musician . charlie : yeah , but mattie 's got big brains . and do n't tell her i said this , but she 's pretty . and witty and ... fun to be around . she 's in a whole nother hemisphere from this wannabe rockstar . lily : that 's really sweet of you . i agree . charlie : yet , and that being said ... mattie 's pretty good at sizing people up , right ? lily : right . that 's true . charlie : so ... i might not have much use for the guy , but there 's got to be something to him . mattie : i 'm ready to go . but since you have n't finished your breakfast yet , if i hurry , i can make the bus . lily : wait , mattie . hold on . why do n't you take two more bites and then take your sister to school , okay ? you guys can take my car . mattie : making sure i get there , mother ? charlie : well , i 'm full , so ... let 's waltz , matilda . mattie : you are so lame . charlie : which is why i need my own personal einstein to help me study for the math quiz . dina : come . sit down . i want to apologize for sounding so harsh . i 'm sorry . graham : well , it 's obvious that you can trust me with your most sensitive information . this will be no different . dina : well , that 's very comforting . graham : you know , i 'm surprised that something that happened so long ago still has such a strong impact on you to this day . dina : i was a terrible , terrible wife . and i really resented john 's devotion to his company , so i had several affairs . graham : you just wanted attention , and for someone to put you first . dina : the issue is ashley . and the price she had to pay for my failings . graham : your daughter 's goal seems to be settling up accounts where you 're concerned . it 's obvious how much her attitude pains you . and i know you 've rejected my thoughts on this before , but -- dina : i 'm not leaving genoa city . graham : what do you gain by staying ? ashley 's made it clear she has n't forgiven you . how do you expect to forge a relationship with her ? dina : perhaps a little time , hm ? graham : ashley will always feel that you ruined the one thing that meant the most to her -- her relationship with john abbott . dina : i am not going back to europe , and that 's final . and furthermore , i do n't need you instructing me about my own daughter . graham : consider the matter dropped . dina : good . graham : can i give you a ride in to work later ? dina : oh , no . i 'm too wiped out . i 'm not going in today . i do n't think jack will be there , either . well , he went out of town last night with victor newman 's wife . graham : i thought victor and his wife -- what was her name again ? dina : nikki . graham : right . i was under they impression that they were separated ? dina : so does jack , but , uh , i 'm not so sure . graham : you think nikki 's leading on your son while she 's ... ? dina : when you have an unhappy marriage , it 's still a marriage . and i sure learned that the hard way . but what 's even more frustrating is the fact that my children are making the same mistakes that i did . [ knock on door ] graham : i 'll get it . dina : thank you . ashley : is my mother here ? graham : looks like you came to the right room this time . dina : ashley , please . join us . you know , i do n't know why you made up that convoluted lie last night when you were coming out of graham 's room . ashley : i was n't sure what i was supposed to say , mother . dina : well , at least i was truthful when i gave you his room key . so , now that that 's taken care of and i know that you have found nothing that graham is hiding , then we can put that to rest . correct ? ashley : of course . dina : good . ashley : however , there are times when i prefer to speak with my mother alone , and this is one of those times . would you please excuse yourself , graham ? graham : i was thinking of having a workout , anyway . dina : good . graham : call me when you need me . dina : [ sighs ] you know , it would have been so much easier if you had been up front with graham last night . ashley : did you ever think that maybe i was trying to protect you ? because i did n't want him to get mad at you ? dina : good lord , ashley . when are you ever gon na give up this notion that graham 's out to get me ? ashley : after last night , not ever . jack : i could call off my meetings for the rest of the day . we could stay up here and just relax . nikki : mm . i love that idea , but i have appointments , too . i ca n't be late . jack : `` appointments . `` can i hope that maybe one of them is with a lawyer to make this separation official ? nikki : well , actually , i am meeting with a trainer at the gym . it 's imperative that i stay healthy . jack : oh , yes . to ward off a relapse . you get no argument from me . whatever you 've been doing lately , it 's sure working . nikki : you 're part of what 's working . and coming to a place like this , the peace that it gives me ... that 's good , too . very healing . jack : i know abby 's intrusion was , uh , not exactly soothing . i 'm sorry about that . nikki : hey , we do n't have to apologize to anybody . anyway , i like the pace you and i have set for ourselves . jack : slow and easy . victor : [ grunting ] you 're graham bloodworth . graham : good memory . good to see you again , mr . newman . victor : yeah , good to see you . you box ? graham : oh , well , not in the true sense . i do n't spar much . but i do find that working out with a heavy bag is a good way to sort through my thoughts . victor : you bet . it 's a great way to release tension , you know . graham : ca n't argue with that . victor : that 's right . dina : you know , you are just so stubborn . ashley : well , maybe you need to blame it on genetics , mother . dina : oh , please . ashley : would you please just listen to me ? dina : no , i won't . i sent you to graham 's room so that you would stop picking on his past . and obviously you found nothing . so let 's put an end to that . ashley : who says i did n't find anything ? dina : oh ! well , what could you have possibly found ? what , an overdue phone bill ? or maybe he was just overindulging in the minibar . ashley : are you familiar with boca pointe active living residence in boca raton ? dina : what ? florida ? [ scoffs ] what are you talking about ? ashley : it 's a very nice place , apparently very expensive . have you ever heard of it ? dina : i see what you 're doing . you and jack are going to ship me off to this senior residence , right ? is that what this is all about , ashley ? ashley : it 's where a certain mrs . bloodworth lives . graham 's mother . which i think is highly disturbing , considering he told all of us that she was dead . `` the young and the restless `` will continue . dina : oh , graham 's hiding another parent in another state . now , why in the world would you think of that ? ashley : because i found a monthly statement from that residence in the amount of $ 8,000 that graham had paid . dina : well , perhaps it , uh ... [ stammering ] ... he has a -- a distant aunt or something . ashley : it 's his mother . dina : well , this is -- this is foolishness . ashley : look , i made a call last night to confirm my suspicions . dina : you spoke to this woman ? and she told you that she was graham 's mother ? ashley : not exactly . but it was obvious from what she said on the phone . dina : oh , i see . now you 're jumping again , as usual , to these ridiculous , erroneous conclusions . ashley : if you had heard what she said on the phone , mother , it was very clear . dina : oh , well , i do n't believe it . ashley : look , i 'm trying to put this together . he has a mother who 's very much alive , after he told us all she was dead . the way that he set it up for him to meet you at that party in monte carlo . dina : you 're twisting facts . ashley : you know what i see ? i see a man who has inserted himself into every aspect of your life . who is ingratiated himself to the point where you are leaving him the bulk of your estate . dina : you know , all this talk about graham 's agenda ... why do n't we focus on yours ? ashley : i do n't have an agenda , except i 'm trying to look out for you . dina : oh , by sowing doubt and mistrust ? ashley : that is what graham 's doing . ca n't you see that ? he 's trying to turn you against your own children . dina : you know , with all your foolishness , ashley ... that might just work ! victor : good . good . good . turn it over . turn the right over . look . like that . good . good . all right . damn good job . graham : coming from victor newman , that 's high praise indeed . victor : [ chuckles ] you should keep it up . graham : will do . victor : yep . good for you . excuse me . were you home last night ? nikki : oh , hi . victor : did n't answer your phone . nikki : my -- my phone was turned off . victor : oh . was that the case this morning , as well ? nikki : and that 's your business because ... ? victor : because when i call you and leave a message , i expect you to return my call . nikki : oh , well , i would have gotten around to it . eventually . i think maybe i 'm just following your example . throughout our marriage , you always decided where we would go , when we would go , what we would do . and i find it quite exhilarating to do the same . victor : well , i 'm so happy to know that you 're feeling exhilarated , okay ? where were you last night ? nikki : [ laughs ] if i 'm not going to jump to answer my phone when you call , why on earth would i run my itinerary past you ? victor : so , this new freedom allows you to not answer phone calls , not return them , and , uh , disappear overnight . nikki : i enjoyed myself . the peace and the quiet . let 's just leave it at that . victor : were you with jack abbott last night ? mattie : unlock the car . charlie : oh , she speaks ! mattie : what do you want , charlie ? charlie : look , are you mad about the stuff i said about you cutting class ? 'cause , believe me , i never saw that coming . mattie : it was under extreme and urgent circumstances . mom and dad were being unfair in their demands . it was torture missing reed that much . skipping first period was the only way i could see him . charlie : well , i just wish you would have told me about it first . mattie : why ? so you could 've told me to `` dump that loser `` like you always do ? charlie : no , so i could teach you how to beat the system so you would n't get busted . i mean , that 's how you got caught , right ? school called ? they always do . mattie : wish i 'd know that . charlie : well , you 're an innocent who never breaks the rules . me ? i 'm an expert . mattie : i 'll remember that for next time . charlie : so , uh ... what went down between you and dad ? mom did n't want to get into it . mattie : oh , not much . he just made everything a million times worse . cane : is it okay i stopped by ? lily : um , sure . but the -- the kids are n't here . cane : yeah , i know . i timed it that way , that they 're gone . lily : oh . did you want to talk about mattie ? cane : no , actually , i - i need to talk about , uh ... you and me and the kids , yeah . lily : uh ... yeah . i do n't know if i 'm ready for anything that deep right now . cane : all right , look , the clock is ticking on our marriage . and we ca n't just keep putting this off , okay ? we need to talk about this . lily : i 'm not . you come by when you want . you see the kids when you want . cane : but we never talk about what 's wrong . lily : well , we did plenty of that before i asked you to move out , and it got us nowhere . cane : all right , see , that 's why this needs to change , all right ? because this separation is affecting the kids . you know that , right ? lily : yes , i do . and it 'll take them some time to get used to it . cane : you know mattie 's acting out . could you imagine months ago that you and i would have said that mattie 's acting out ? lily : cane , it 's no great revelation that our daughter 's been affected , and charlie , too . the other day , he blamed himself for not making the football team . cane : yeah , i know . he said the same to me . and you think it 's my fault , do n't you ? [ scoffs ] it 's okay . you do n't have to say it . it is my fault he did n't make the team . i know that . 'cause all this turmoil , it 's taking its toll on the kids . which is why we need to address this now , not later . cane : lily . lily : no , cane . i - i know what you 're gon na say . you 're gon na ask if you can move back in . and the answer is no . i 'm sorry . it might be better for you , or for the kids , but i -- i ca n't do it . okay ? [ stammers ] we ca n't just press the panic button because this is hard . cane : i know . lily : i told you that i needed time away from you to see how i feel . i ca n't just move that process along . cane : and i understand . lily : then why are you forcing this ? cane : because this is n't just about me . this is about our kids . look , we 're in the kitchen and , you know , there 's the spot that charlie hit his head on when he was a little toddler , you remember that ? and we panicked , and we rushed him to the hospital . and out on the sofa there is where mattie used to read to us when she was 4 years old , and it 's where you and i would sit , and we would laugh and we would make love . and i want that back . i want to come home . i want to come home to you . i want to be in the bed with you at night . i want to be with the woman that i chose for the rest of my life . listen to me , i know -- i know this is a lot of hard work . but we ca n't fix our marriage , baby , if i 'm not here . we ca n't do it . lily : cane , i just know ... i need this home to be a safe space for me . and i need you to respect that . cane : [ scoffs ] i should 've known that this would be a tough sell . lily : well , you could have saved yourself a trip . cane : it 's just , what you and i have is too precious not to fight for . lily : i do n't want to fight . cane : i do n't want to fight . that 's why i think , you know , there 's a compromise . and -- and if we make that compromise , maybe we can fix this . mattie : after dad got that call from walnut grove , he went straight to reed 's house on a hunch . charlie : so , he caught you there ? mattie : no . i - i 'd left by then . charlie : so then how did dad know you were there for sure ? mattie : i dropped my headband . charlie : amateur . anyway , reed 's mom came home in the middle of dad yelling at reed , so it was this massive mess . talk about humiliating . charlie : i 'm sorry , sis , but maybe it 's no surprise that dad went off on you . you already know you 're not supposed to be with reed . mattie : we were just hanging out . so what ? charlie : and ? mattie : listening to music . charlie : and ? mattie : kissing a little . but that 's it . charlie : yeah , that better be it . you 're only 16 . mattie : so are you , twin . charlie : yeah , but i 'm so much more worldly . mattie : ugggh ! let me out of this car ! charlie : okay , how about this . you want to date a guy dad wo n't hate , i 'll ask around . mattie : sure . if you let me pick out your dates . charlie : whatever . honestly , reed ca n't be worth all this trouble . mattie : you never liked him because you both were once into the same girl . charlie : and he 's obnoxious . he 's got this huge ego . mattie : this is about dad . reed 's mom hates him because of what he did to the company . if he had n't messed up so badly , nobody would be saying anything . victor : you running away or what ? nikki : no , i am walking away from a conversation that has digressed into something i 'm not interested in . victor : a simple question . where were you last night ? nikki : you are way out of line . victor : really ? where were you last night ? nikki : we are living apart . and that means that my personal life is none of your concern . nor is it your concern the time that i choose to spend with my friends , like jack . victor : you are still my wife ! nikki : well , if you want it to stay that way , you better not speak to me like i 'm one of your minions , because i am not . now , about these phone messages . victor : important messages . nikki : yes . about nicholas and faith . that is something we need to deal with . victor : right here , right now . unless , of course , you want to play with your friends . nikki : i will always have time to speak to you about our children or grandchildren , without fail . victor : then let 's do it right now , right here . nikki : fine . but i will not discuss jack with you . victor : spare me . jack : you 're sure about this ?

jack : we keep digging . if this guy would lie about his mother being gone -- ashley : then he 's lying about other things , obviously . jack : why would it be important to him that mother think both his parents are gone ? ashley : that was bugging me , too . i almost booked a flight down to boca today . till i realized that graham 's poor mother probably has no idea about these lies that he 's been spinning . jack : yeah , i 'm not sure pressuring her is the right thing to do right now . ashley : so ? i - i 've hit a wall . jack : if only we knew if mother had some connection with her before . ashley : i watched her very carefully when i said the words `` boca `` and `` florida . `` jack : and ? nothing ? ashley : nothing . well , except she was wondering if we were gon na ship her there or something . jack : you know what ? maybe mother does n't have such a bad idea , after all . cane : what if we go and see a marriage counselor ? lily : [ scoffs ] i ca n't believe you 're saying this . cane : why ? 'cause i did n't want to go the last time , after -- lily : yeah , after my affair . cane : okay . lily : and , you know , maybe if we had gone then , we would n't be here right now . cane : okay . it 's not too late . lily : cane , you 're having a child with another woman . how are we gon na bounce back from that ? cane : if -- if we do n't talk about this , we 're not gon na be able to fix our marriage . and i ca n't just step back and just let my marriage just lay down and die . and i ca n't imagine that you want to do that , either . lily : i just do n't know if i have it in my to go and re - live everything in front of a stranger . cane : but it ca n't be any harder than it already is . if we do n't talk about this , we ca n't fix our marriage . look ... i know this is n't easy for you , but ... i know every time you see juliet walking around , it reminds you of how i betrayed you . i know this . lily : and you think that can be fixed ? cane : i think we can face this if we go into a room that 's a controlled environment , with a professional who can help facilitate the conversation . we can acknowledge each other 's hurt , and we can acknowledge each other 's truth . and we can push past the pain . and if we can do that , sweetheart , then maybe somehow we can save our marriage and put our family back together . and then i can just ... you 'll trust me again . lily : okay . i 'll try it . nikki : tell me this . why was it so very imperative that we talk about nicholas and faith this very minute ? victor : because i wanted to tell you in person . you had no right to interfere . not your place . nikki : really ? it 's my family , too . victor : what , that means that you go to nick and tell him that i visited her in camp ? nikki : i was upset that you went around our son . victor : then you should have come to me and discussed it with me . nikki : nicholas deserved to know . victor : you know what this has done ? this has ruined my relationship with that adorable granddaughter of mine , okay ? she no longer trusts me . it 's the only relationship that she could count on . nikki : and who 's fault is that ? she can count on me . she always has . victor : now , does that mean you 're throwing in your lot with nicholas ? nikki : oh , god ! why does everything always have to come down to either your side or his side ? victor : because it does ! you 're making a mistake . a big mistake . nikki : you just made a scene in the gym . good going . victor : to hell with it . i do n't care . dina : [ sighs ] jack : we 're so grateful for your offer to , uh , tour your complex so we can see if any of the models work for our mother . ashley : yeah , it seems like it would be a great fit for her . jack : listen , we were turned on to boca pointe by a friend of ours . his mother is there . it 's myrna bloodworth ? lloyd : oh , yes . mrs. bloodworth has our most luxurious unit . jack : i 've no doubt . how long has she been there ? lloyd : since boca pointe opened in 2012 . jack : uh , i 'll look into flights from genoa city to boca raton , and i 'll get back to you with a schedule . lloyd : mrs. bloodworth is from genoa city , as well . i 'm sure she 'll be excited to have a visitor from her old hometown . jack : thank you very much for your help . we 'll see you soon . did you know that ? ashley : what , that myrna bloodworth was from genoa city ? of course not ! jack , that means graham 's from here , too . jack : yeah , funny he never mentioned that in conversation . ashley : you know , i 've been thinking all this time that graham latched onto our mother just a few years ago . but what if this obsession goes back even further ? and what the hell started it ? [ next_on ] nick : when my dad is involved , you have to be prepared for anything . victor : have you arrived in genoa city yet ? i 'm at the ranch , so get here as soon as possible . hilary : lily 's busy . they 're going to marriage counseling today . why do n't we take a final moment -- lily : sorry , i - i can't .Summarize.[/INST]nikki and jack spend quality time together at the cabin . they also share a kiss and then she snuggles in his arms . ashley meets victor at the athletic club and she congratulates him on business venture . dina , in bed asleep , dreams of the argument that she had with ashley over her real father . dina wakes up and calls for graham . lily and cane discuss their getting back together but lily is reluctant to take him back after him having a child with another woman . cane reminds her of all the good times they had with the children . cane finally manages to talk her into going to a marriage counselor with him . lily , mattie and charlie have breakfast together but then mattie tells charlie that cane is n't the only one who had messed up . charlie wants to know what is going on . mattie tells him that she had been caught seeing reed when she was forbidden to see him . ashley fills victor in that graham had lied to dina about his mother being dead when she was n't dead at all . dina tells graham that she had made a mistake in telling him about ashley 's real father . she forbids graham from telling anyone else about this conversation or he will be dead to her . ashley tells victor that she will have a talk with dina about graham and the lies he had been telling . when ashley confronts dina about graham and his mother , dina is less than happy about ashley still meddling in her business .</s> | 18,102 |

[ scene_break ] sami : yeah , look . i mean , i ca n't help wondering why you did it . even though you said it was because it was the right thing , you 're still ... sorry . look , i 'm sorry , i should n't be cynical . nicole : no , sami . listen , we have a long history . and i do n't think either one of us expected this , that we would be ... i do n't even know what to call it -- that we ... bonded , found common ground . sami : both ? nicole : i asked ej to drop the custody suit because ... i wanted to ease your pain . you had already lost grace , and ... i did n't think it would be fair for you to lose johnny too . sami : being a mom has changed you . nicole : yeah , it has . it 's changed everything ... you know , the way i see my life , the way i see other people 's ... lives . but most important , i ... i feel a special kinship ... with you . sami : kinship . nicole : we 've both suffered a lot of pain , you and i . we both lost our little girls .

[ scene_break ] melanie : [ scoffs ] well , now i 'm truly offended , so i suggest you leave before i decide to raise my voice . nathan : why do you even want to be a nurse ? melanie : why do i want to be a nurse ? because i 'm broke , so it 's either have a temp job or be a waitress . and in this economy , people stop going to restaurants , but they do n't stop getting sick . nathan : you do n't take anything seriously , do you ? melanie : and you take everything seriously , and it 's kind of a buzzkill , nathan . nathan : [ sighs ] did maggie ever tell you about the car accident she was in ? melanie : no . nathan : no ? she was a kid when it happened , and it killed both of her parents and left her paralyzed . yeah . she could n't walk , okay ? she thought she was gon na be confined to a wheelchair for a long time , for the rest of her life . but my uncle bill , being the amazing surgeon that he was , operated on her , and she recovered . she walked again . melanie : i had no idea . nathan : look , my point is doctors and nurses , they do what they do because they have a passion for it , okay ? because they love to help people , just like my great - grandfather . tom horton 's been gone a long time , but you bring up his name , and people remember him with such respect . why ? because he took pride in what he did . he considered it a privilege to help people who were sick . now , if you do n't have that same passion , then i suggest you find another career . [ scene_break ] sami : yeah , look . i mean , i ca n't help wondering why you did it . even though you said it was because it was the right thing , you 're still ... sorry . look , i 'm sorry , i should n't be cynical . nicole : no , sami . listen , we have a long history . and i do n't think either one of us expected this , that we would be ... i do n't even know what to call it -- that we ... bonded , found common ground . sami : both ? nicole : i asked ej to drop the custody suit because ... i wanted to ease your pain . you had already lost grace , and ... i did n't think it would be fair for you to lose johnny too . sami : being a mom has changed you . nicole : yeah , it has . it 's changed everything ... you know , the way i see my life , the way i see other people 's ... lives . but most important , i ... i feel a special kinship ... with you . sami : kinship . nicole : we 've both suffered a lot of pain , you and i . we both lost our little girls .

god knows i wish i did , but it appears as if he 's been taken by some terrorists . brooke : terrorists ? massimo : yes , they want cash money , power , i do n't know , whatever the hell they want . brooke : stop it , i do not believe you ! massimo : it is the truth . nick : believe him , brooke . brooke : nick . nick : he 's being straight with you . we 're dealing with a dangerous bunch here . forrester 's gon na need help from all of us . stephanie : yes , i can see that you 're an artiste . wish you could fix my life as easily as you seem to be able to fix my hair . samantha : stephanie 's had a few personal and professional setbacks lately . rafael : oh , well , then , perhaps your blitz barber 's done you a favor , really . i mean , sometimes you need to get down to your lowest point , really stripped of all your defenses , like samson shorn of all his hair , before you can recognize and really reclaim your inner strength . stephanie : hmm . psychiatrist in the disguise of a hairstylist , i see . rafael : oh , it 's all one and the same , really . i mean , true style is about feeling at ease with yourself on every level . i mean , knowing who you are in here and then just recognizing it and reflecting it out here . stephanie : so you practice and you preach , no pretense . rafael : uh - huh . i mean , your hair color , for instance -- is it natural ? stephanie : oh , come on now . you know as well as i it 's natural from the bottle . rafael : well , how would you feel about throwing it away ? stephanie : you mean go silver ? rafael : uh - huh . samantha : great idea . stephanie : what ? samantha : very modern . oh , very chic . rafael : oh , yeah . and you 'd be making a bold statement . stephanie : oh , really ? rafael : uh , huh . stephanie : all right , what the hell ? why not take a chance ? [ laughter ] brooke : i do n't understand . nick : there 's a lot we still do n't know . brooke : terrorists ? massimo : look , that 's what someone wants us to believe . whether it 's true or not , we 'll find out soon enough . brooke : you , you did this . he 's the one . nick : no , he 's as worried as you are . brooke : you do n't -- you do n't know what he 's done . all these years , trying to come between ridge and me . he even bribed my own father to lie to me . nick : you think i 'd be a part of something like that ? brooke : no . oh , god , nick . nick : do n't panic . brooke : what 's happened to him ? nick : he 's all right . massimo : you do n't know that for sure . nick : i do know that . if they wanted to kill him , they would have done it down here . then they 'd lose their product . brooke : product ? nick : product . ridge is what we want . they want cash . they ca n't let anything happen to him . then they do n't get their cash . brooke : they ? who ? who 's they ? nick : look at this . ever seen it before ? brooke : no . what is it ? massimo : company logo , so to speak . they plastered it on the hull of a marone tanker a couple of days ago , and that 's the reason we came down here . this group specializes in kidnapping big business executives overseas . brooke : how did they know ridge was here ? nick : you think they just got lucky ? massimo : no , no , no , too much of a coincidence . nick : you 're probably right . brooke : we did n't tell anybody where we were going . i did n't even know until we got here . massimo : yes , but the pilot knew , the people here at the hotel knew , the people on the island know because they have resources everywhere . brooke : well , then , how do you know who to trust ? nick : you do n't . that 's why you deal with me , massimo and no one else . brooke : you really think he 's all right ? nick : yeah , i do . brooke : okay , so now what ? nick : we wait . brooke : what ? massimo : they happen to be in charge here at the moment . that does n't sit well with any of us , but it 's the reality . brooke : how do they contact us ? nick : the bigger question right now is when . brooke : well , it 's got to be pretty soon if they want the ransom so badly . nick : let 's hope . brooke : why would n't it be soon ? nick : because they 're tricky . they play games . they try to gain power . they could make us sweat it out for months . brooke : months ? nick : it 's possible , but not likely . brooke : oh , my god . i ca n't believe this is happening . nick : come on , keep it together . brooke : no -- nick : keep it together . brooke : he 's there one minute and he 's gone the next . he said he would never leave . oh , my god , i 'm gon na have to tell his children . massimo : brooke , come on , take it easy , will you ? you 're getting ahead of yourself here . the first thing we have to do is concentrate on getting ridge back . nick : stay with me now . look , hey , stay focused . brooke : what if i never see him again . nick : you will . i promise . i 'm gon na bring him back . i 'm gon na do that for you . ridge : look , whatever it is you 're after , holding me hostage is n't the answer . you do n't think anybody 's really gon na cooperate with you , do you ? you 're only gon na end up getting yourselves killed .

[ scene_break ] scott : as manager of the metro court , i 'm gon na need you to authenticate that this originated from there . diane : objection , your honor . what is the prosecution referring to ? scott : security footage that provides frame - by - frame account of the night that aj quartermaine murdered connie falconeri . diane : objection , your honor . the defense was never made aware of the existence of this footage . scott : if it pleases your honor , here 's the footage . now you 're aware of it . diane : your honor ! judge chua : let 's see where this goes , ms. miller . the minutes we waste today may save us hours in the days to come . mr. district attorney , make this worth the court 's while . scott : yes , i will , your honor . can you confirm that this is the security footage from august 23 , 2013 ? olivia : it looks like it to me . scott : and it will look like it to the jury , as well . diane : objection ! the council is testifying . scott : your honor , this will bring this trial to a speedy end , justice will be served , and the victim 's loved ones will be at ease . diane : move to strike ! judge chua : mr. baldwin . the district attorney 's comment will be stricken from the record . scott : i apologize for my passion . judge chua : let it happen again , and it 'll be a contempt charge . scott : understood . well ... let 's go to the video tape . diane : you can not admit a piece of evidence that was held back in discovery . scott : my office just came into possession of this footage . diane : well , how fortuitous for you ! especially since my team requested copies of the metro court footage of the night in question months ago , and we were told by the management that that footage had been lost . so , of course , that begs the question -- scott : my staff was a little more persistent . i went back to the good people at the metro court , had them take another look . monica : yes , and miraculously , the tape showed up . judge chua : ms. falconeri , why was the defense not granted access to the security footage while the prosecution was ? olivia : there was a small flood in our security office the night of connie 's murder . a number of our records were either lost or misplaced in the cleanup , including those . scott : there you have it . diane : your honor , i hope you find the prosecution 's assertion just as flimsy as i do . i move that you do not allow this into evidence . sonny : a woman 's dead , okay ? why ca n't -- if you got evidence that proves who did it , why ca n't you use it ? judge chua : order . mr. corinthos , i respect your bereavement , but you must sit down . scott : mr. corinthos is right . in the sake of justice , the jury should see the security footage to show what happened the night of connie falconeri 's murder . show that the defendant is a cold - blooded murderer . [ scene_break ] elizabeth : aj thought i was there to support him . he did n't realize that the prosecution had subpoenaed me . patrick : so , wait , diane did n't warn him ? elizabeth : oh , i 'm sure she did . but knowing aj , he did n't believe her or he just heard what he wanted to hear . patrick : that probably did n't go well . elizabeth : i had to tell the truth . but i had to explain that even though aj said he wanted to hurt her , he was just blowing off steam . patrick : so how did that go over ? elizabeth : the damage was already done . i 'm afraid i might have sent aj away for the rest of his life . [ scene_break ] felix : carlos is still dogging you ? sabrina : yeah . felix : damn , girl . what kind of alien pheromones are you giving off that this guy ca n't get enough of you , and how can i bottle some of it for myself ? sabrina : are you kidding me ? carlos is nothing but trouble . you should want to get as close to him as i want to get close to brad . felix : [ sighs ] maybe i should take a crack at carlos . sabrina : absolutely not . he 's working for that mob boss who 's all over the front page of the paper , julian jerome . felix : so if he 's a mobster , that means he really is ... sabrina : oh , my god . do n't . felix : ... carlos danger ! i 'm sorry . sabrina : wow . felix : i could n't resist . sabrina : well , hopefully you can resist the urge to confront him , because i do n't want you or patrick or anybody i care about anywhere near carlos . i 'll just -- i 'll deal with him myself . felix : do n't deal with him at all . he 's just doing this for attention , so why let him ? just show him how unimportant he is , and he 'll go away . sabrina : i do n't think that 's gon na work , because every single time i shut carlos down , he comes back with something crazier and bigger than before . felix : so , what 's crazy carlos up to now ? sabrina : he 's saying robin is alive . [ scene_break ] nikolas : sabrina must have sent my and britt 's invitation by carrier pigeon . how 'd you come by yours ? robin : i swiped it . nikolas : ooh , and you used to be such a good little girl . robin : what was i supposed to do , nikolas ? i mean , there was an invitation right there sitting in front of me to my husband 's wedding . nikolas : well , i hope that its intended recipient is n't missing it . any idea who it 's for ? robin : yeah , someone named ellie trout . sabrina left it in the lab for her . nikolas : hopefully not while you were there . robin : oh , yeah . while i was there . i had to cram myself into this teeny , tiny little place underneath the desk . nikolas : she could have seen you . robin : yeah . you know , it 's lucky patrick did n't see me , either . nikolas : what do you mean ? patrick came into the lab while you were hiding ? robin : yes . and from what i can tell , he 's still really into the whole pda thing . nikolas : well , at least i know why you 've been so snippy all day . robin : patrick and sabrina were very ... sweet to each other . i mean , what couple is n't on the eve of their wedding ? nikolas : i 'm really sorry . i know this has been hell for you . robin : [ scoffs ] you got that right . nikolas : but considering what 's at stake here , it 's really a good thing that they did n't discover you . robin : yeah , well ... at least they did n't . [ scene_break ] ava : your ex is marrying patrick drake , is n't she ? i thought his wife died a couple of years ago . carlos : yeah , well , that 's the general consensus . but dr. robin scorpio - drake is very much alive . ava : well [ chuckles ] julian came back from the dead , so to speak . what 's one more ? carlos : yeah . exactly . ava : mm . but , still , you know , everyone in town , including her husband , thinks that robin is very much dead . so what is it that makes you suspect that she still walks among the living ? carlos : i saw her with my own two eyes . robin 's alive ? ! [ scene_break ] sabrina : oh , my god . indoor voice ! felix : carlos said that robin is alive ? sabrina : yes ! just keep it down . felix : okay , when and where exactly did carlos see the late scorpio - drake ? sabrina : yesterday at the hospital in the lab . i guess he was looking for me , and he says that he found robin instead . felix : well , how would he even know what she looks like ? sabrina : from a picture that he saw at patrick 's house on one of his many uninvited visits . felix : honey , carlos did not see robin . in the flesh , anyway . but maybe , just maybe , he saw her in a more ... supernatural form ? sabrina : wait . are you saying that carlos saw robin 's ghost ? felix : why not ? sabrina : because ghosts are n't real . felix : what if they were ? i mean , where would robin 's spirit be hanging out ? at the hospital , in the lab , where she died . sabrina : what ? ! felix : what ? it could happen . and it 's a hell of a lot more believable than her coming back from the dead like a zombie . [ scene_break ] nikolas : who is this carlos ? robin : he 's sabrina 's ex . and he 's still in love with her in that `` i really do n't want her to marry patrick drake `` kind of way . nikolas : what was he doing in the lab ? robin : someone told him that sabrina was in there , and he found me instead . nikolas : well , why did n't you tell me about this last night ? robin : because i was still a little freaked out , and it 's fine . i mean , carlos has no idea who i am . nikolas : you 're sure ? you 're absolutely positive ? robin : [ sighs ] i do n't know . he did mention something about me looking familiar . nikolas : oh , robin , he could have seen pictures of you . robin : nikolas , it 's done , okay ? we ca n't make him un - see me , so now all we can do is cross our fingers and hope that he does n't put it all together . [ scene_break ] carlos : robin tells me that her name is epiphany johnson . well , then i ran into a picture of the real epiphany , and that 's when i realized that robin was lying about who she was . and then i remembered where i had seen her before . in a picture at patrick 's house . ava : so , did you go back and confront her ? carlos : [ sighs ] i tried ! but by the time i got there , she had already cleared out . ava : so , you have no proof , then . carlos : you do n't think it 's possible ? ava : i think it 's possible that you saw this robin . i think it 's possible that your mind is playing tricks . i mean , you 've been wanting to get back together with sabrina for how long now ? carlos : years . ever since we broke up . ava : right . now you 've come all the way to port charles to win her back , only to discover that she 's moved on , with a man who not too long ago lost his wife . and now right before their wedding , this not - so - dead wife conveniently appears to you out of the blue . carlos : yeah , sabrina did n't believe me , either . i mean , i barely believe it myself . who would ? who would ? [ scene_break ] patrick : look , if aj spends the rest of his life in prison , that 's his fault . a woman is dead , right ? elizabeth : yeah , but i do n't know that he killed her . patrick : but you told the truth on the stand ? elizabeth : yes . patrick : then you did your job . now the jury has to do theirs and diane has to do hers . you ca n't defend aj , and he needs to understand that . elizabeth : yeah , but i do n't know that he does . patrick : [ sighs ] well , then , that is on him . elizabeth : but you should have seen him when i was on the stand . he looked miserable . like he knew that this is how his life was going to end -- alone . patrick : but he 's not alone . i mean , he has his mother , he has michael . elizabeth : and me , right ? patrick : well ... elizabeth : no . no , i ca n't do it anymore . whatever happened between aj and me , it 's over . [ scene_break ] judge chua : i 'm going to dismiss the jury while we view the recordings . we 'll see what they contain without contaminating the jury . after which , i 'll rule on the admissibility . scott : uh , your honor , now it 's my turn to object . judge chua : overruled . scott : you have n't heard my grounds . judge chua : you do n't have any . ms. miller , how about you ? any objections ? diane : none whatsoever , your honor . in fact , this will be quite a time - saver for the defense . judge chua : thank you . now , bailiff . kiki : are you sure you want to stay here for this ? michael : yeah , no , i have to be here . for both my fathers . kiki : okay . you be here for your fathers , and i 'll be here for you . judge chua : mr. district attorney , it 's your show . olivia : do you want to get out of here ? sonny : why would i want to do that ? olivia : because we do n't know what 's on that tape . sonny , what if it 's connie ? we do n't know that it 's not her getting murdered -- sonny : you want to go ? 'cause if you want to go , go ahead , 'cause i 'm gon na stay here . it 's something i need to do for connie . olivia : sonny , i do n't think connie would want you watching her in a snuff film . sonny : it 's not about -- it 's more than that . i just -- i just feel that connie 's not gon na be at rest until i know what happened . until that son of a bitch is locked away for life . [ scene_break ] ava : you already told sabrina that you saw robin ? carlos : i ran into sabrina , literally , right after it all happened . what was i supposed to do ? ava : you 're supposed to keep your mouth shut and come to me , and we think together . we think and we come up with a way for you to break the news . carlos : there 's no time . sabrina is getting married tomorrow to a married man . now , even if i did n't want her for myself , she deserves to know . ava : well , i do n't blame you for having impulse to act . but i do n't blame sabrina for being skeptical , either . carlos : it 's beyond skepticism . she wo n't even listen to me . ava : well , then , maybe sabrina is n't the person you should be talking to . you want results ? you want someone to take to heart what you 're saying ? then you bypass sabrina altogether . you go to the husband , and you tell patrick his wife is alive . [ scene_break ] nikolas : i 'll keep an eye on the carlos situation , but if he does realize who you are , he 's not just gon na sit on his hands and do nothing if he 's in love with sabrina the way you say . robin : oh , he is . but she does n't want to have anything to do with him , because she 's in love with my husband ... who 's apparently in love with her ... who are getting married tomorrow , and then once they exchange vows and rings , well , that 'll be it . nikolas : robin , the only reason the wedding is still happening is 'cause patrick does n't realize you 're still alive . but once you get the cure for jerry , we 'll trade it in for your parents , and you 'll be in the clear . you can go to patrick and tell him everything . robin : nikolas , it does n't matter what i tell him . he 's still fallen in love with another woman . [ scene_break ] sabrina : as much as i 'd like to chalk up carlos ' claim to a visit from the spirit world , it makes more sense that he 's just lying to me to get at patrick . i mean , he tried it before with patrick 's wedding ring , and then he tried it again with that stupid prank phone call that he staged from robin . he 's just trying to stop this wedding . felix : he 'll have to try harder than that , 'cause the only thing that 's gon na scuttle these nuptials is the seating arrangement . if epiphany and i are sitting too close , it 's gon na be clash of the titans . sabrina : [ laughs ] felix : speaking of arrangements , can i escort you to the restaurant , so we can check it out ? sabrina : yes . in a second . felix : in a second ? we 're already an hour late . sabrina : i know , i know , but ... i need to talk to you about something . felix : yes , sabrina , we 're going to use birdseed instead of rice for the happy couple , so the birds do n't explode . sabrina : thank you . this is n't about the birdseed , although i really do appreciate that . felix : [ chuckles ] sabrina : this is about you . i need you to do me a favor . felix : after everything else , what 's one more ? what can i do ? sabrina : i need you to be my maid of honor . [ scene_break ] patrick : look , whether aj is innocent or guilty , i know this is really difficult on you . too difficult to make it work . elizabeth : just thought things were gon na be different this time . you know , because we actually had something in common . patrick : which was ? elizabeth : we both wanted to change our lives . we were looking for redemption , which now i know is not a great basis for any relationship . [ chuckles ] guess we were doomed from the start . unlike you and sabrina . patrick : [ chuckles ] elizabeth : i 'm really happy for you guys . patrick : thank you . i am , too . elizabeth : you 've come a long way since you lost robin . patrick : [ chuckles ] elizabeth : and i 'm really excited to be at the church tomorrow and watch you get married . patrick : which is why i 'm so glad that i ran into you , because i would really like you to be there , but as more than a guest . elizabeth : oh . patrick , if you want me to be your flower girl , you might have to speak with emma about that . patrick : [ laughs ] well , i have something better , actually , i think . will you be my best man ? [ scene_break ] diane : you need to do exactly as i say . when the jury comes back , they 're going to gauge the room 's mood . they 're gon na be looking for clues from you , as to your guilt or innocence . so you need to just keep it together , no matter what 's on these tapes . aj : okay . scott : we 're ready , your honor . olivia : this is it . are you sure you 're ready ? sonny : yeah . are you ? olivia : i 'm not going anywhere . judge chua : all right , mr. baldwin . press play . scott : with pleasure . please note date and time stamp . august 23 , 2013 -- the night of the murder . oh . you can clearly see the defendant in the mishap . diane : objection , your honor . it is in no way clear that the man on the screen is my client . are we supposed to take the d.a . 's word for it ? this could be anyone who simply bears a passing resemblance to my client , who was just wandering through . scott : your honor , the people have a signed affidavit from an expert in facial - recognition software , who has matched the man on the video tape with the defendant . we also have a statement from the bellhop , who picked the defendant out of a lineup , who will testify for the prosecution . judge chua : overruled . d.a . baldwin , please proceed . scott : your honor , that is the defendant on his way to commit an execution . [ scene_break ] diane : if the district attorney wants to persecute my client , then let him issue a citation for public drunkenness . to classify this as evidence is malicious prosecution . any conviction influenced by this footage is a gross miscarriage of justice . scott : your honor , i think the next tape speaks for itself . not only did the defendant have the opportunity to murder , but he also had the means . judge chua : i 'll allow it . scott : you 'll note that the defendant selected the third floor , where the crimson offices are , where the victim worked and where sonny corinthos would find that victim bleeding to death . there you have it . the defendant with weapon , motive , opportunity , at the scene of the crime . your honor , i give you connie falconeri 's murderer . aj : oh , my god . i really did it . i -- i killed connie . [ scene_break ] ava : seems to me you have two options . you keep quiet and let sabrina naively trip down the aisle , only to have her heart broken . or you spare her that pain , and you tell patrick that his wife is alive . carlos : do n't you think i already thought of that ? just last night , i was standing outside his house . i was about to knock on his door . ava : why did n't you ? carlos : [ sighs ] i could n't think of a way to tell him that would convince him . ava : well , that would take some doing . carlos : patrick knows i want sabrina . he 's not gon na believe a word i say . and now it 's even more impossible that everybody knows i 'm julian jerome 's right- hand man . no offense . ava : i would take it as a compliment . carlos : yeah . nothing left to be done . sabrina 's fate is out of my hands and into robin 's . [ scene_break ] nikolas : i honestly do n't know how you survived being separated from patrick and emma without going completely crazy . robin : [ chuckles ] who says i have n't ? nikolas : i do . i think that you are as strong and as grounded as ever , and i know it feels like eternity to you , but you 're almost there . your hope 's right across the water . patrick does n't know it yet , but he 's waiting for you . robin : that 's just it , nikolas . he is n't . i mean , patrick 's feelings for sabrina wo n't disappear just because i 've come back into his life . [ scene_break ] elizabeth : i 'm touched . i think . patrick : [ laughs ] elizabeth : you want me to be your best man ? patrick : yes . i mean , just from a practical standpoint . you 're very organized . i know you 're not gon na forget the rings . elizabeth : oh , right . so , you 're not really looking for a best man , but more a caddy . patrick : no , of course not . listen , i would ask my brother , but he 's not really in the position to do this . [ sighs ] in all honesty , when i was thinking about this , i started asking the questions , `` who 's always been there for me ? who always lent me their ear when i wanted to vent ? whose shoulder did i always cry on ? `` and every answer i got was you . elizabeth : patrick . patrick : seriously , though . you 're a very dear friend of mine . you helped me and emma after robin died . you had my back . you had -- you had both of our backs , and i could n't imagine standing at that altar without knowing that you were there with me . elizabeth : how can i say no ? patrick : good answer . [ scene_break ] felix : you want me to -- wait , what ? sabrina : will you be my maid of honor ? felix : oh , honey , that 's so sweet of you to ask . but i did drag once . once . [ chuckles ] and i went all in . i had a platinum beehive wig and six - inch stilettos , and a sensational , zebra - striped , sequin gown , and i went by the name shantay au lait . sabrina : [ laughs ] wow . that sounds amazing , but i 'm not asking -- felix : great on paper . a disaster in heels . and i 'm not gon na do it again unless you want to spring for the emergency calf implants . in which case , maybe . sabrina : okay , let 's forget `` maid . `` how about person ? person of honor ? felix : person of honor . i like it . sabrina : [ chuckles ] felix : me ? sabrina : duh ! who else ? felix : i thought that was a privilege you gave to your family . sabrina : i am . felix , this is the most important day of my life . i ca n't move forward with patrick without my best friend , whom i love with all of my heart , standing by my side . so , what do you say ? felix : no . [ scene_break ] scott : the defense has seen the footage . now it is time for the jury to see the footage , to see the defendant wielding the murder weapon , exiting onto the floor where the victim , moments later , was killed . judge chua : ms. miller . diane : that 's fine , your honor . monica : it is ? kiki : did she just say that ? michael : just let her finish . she has to be working some kind of an angle . diane : the defense has absolutely no objection to the jury seeing this footage . scott : good . bring in the jury . diane : provided we see the rest of the footage . monica : what are you doing ? diane : my job , thank you very much . now pipe down , mother . d.a . baldwin , the rest of the footage , please . scott : the rest of what footage ? diane : the footage which shows my client disembarking from the elevator . i mean , that must be even more damning . certainly it shows my client shooting connie falconeri in cold blood . monica : what the hell is she doing ? michael : it 's okay . it 's okay . kiki : is it ? michael : yeah , she 's got this . judge chua : i 'd like to see the rest of this footage , too , mr. baldwin . do you have any idea where it is ? scott : it 's gone , your honor . judge chua : gone where ? scott : well , i 'm gon na have to refer to olivia falconeri 's testimony about the flood , that everything , after what we saw , was either lost or destroyed in that flood . diane : does the district attorney mean to say that there 's no evidence of my client actually entering the crimson offices ? no footage of him killing the deceased ? no indication of how he might have exited the hotel ? scott : your honor , the jury needs to see this footage . diane : this footage , which is incomplete and dangerously prejudicial . while the footage which might exonerate my innocent client has somehow gone missing ? i think not , your honor . the jury can not be allowed to see these tapes , and i move that you bar them from this trial . [ scene_break ] ava : carlos , carlos , carlos , carlos . what are we gon na do with you ? carlos : nothing to do . sabrina 's made her choice . i have to accept it . ava : mm . but you 're in pain . when you have a void like that inside of you , it can eat you alive slowly . bit by bit . till it consumes you entirely . carlos : what do you know about it ? ava : well , i know what it 's like ... to have your whole world wrapped up in someone who does n't love you anymore . who 's made it perfectly clear that his future does not include you , and someone who will probably ruin their life because he 's spurned you . carlos : what idiot would possibly spurn you ? ava : [ laughs ] not an idiot . just ... arrogant . unwilling to compromise . i do n't want to talk about him . i want to talk about you . and how i do n't want you to end up like me . carlos : oh , come on . you 're doing all right from where i 'm standing . ava : i 'm not . but you can . so let me help you . let me go to patrick on your behalf . if he wo n't take your word for it , maybe he 'll take mine . [ scene_break ] sabrina : no ? okay , no , yeah , i mean ... [ chuckles ] you 've already done so much to make sure that this wedding is gon na happen , and i should n't have just assumed that you -- felix : girl , i 'm messing with you . [ laughs ] you 're too easy . of course , i 'll be your person of honor . sabrina : what ? ! felix : [ laughs ] sabrina : really ? felix : like never before . sabrina : [ laughing ] oh , my god ! thank you . felix : you 're welcome . i 'm so privileged to have you as a friend . and i 'm proud to stand with you on your wedding day . sabrina : thank you so much . felix : you deserve all the joy your life can bring . so , spread some of it around , okay ? because some of us are still woefully unengaged . sabrina : [ laughs ] i promise . once this wedding is done , i will resume full wing man responsibilities and get you hooked up . felix : yeah , well , speaking of weddings , we have a restaurant to get squared away . now , where the hell 's the groom ? [ scene_break ] patrick : ha . yes . settled . elizabeth : i 'll do it . patrick : perfect . now i really got to get to the metro court before felix puts out a bounty . elizabeth : real quick . can i ask you a favor ? patrick : of course . you can ask me anything . elizabeth : can you call me your best person ? 'cause i do n't really like being called a man . patrick : yes . of course . i 'll call you anything you want . okay , i 'll see you tomorrow . elizabeth : no . no , no , no , no . no . um , you are gon na see me in about three hours . patrick : why 's that ? elizabeth : well , i think i have to throw you a bachelor party . patrick : no , you do n't have to do that . elizabeth : yes , i do . we 're gon na go out for drinks and whatever else transpires . patrick : ooh . okay . in that case , i 'll see you in three hours . elizabeth : all right . cab 's gon na pick you up at your house .

[ scene_break ] judge chua : while the content of the tapes is intriguing , as evidence , the footage is incomplete and prejudicial . showing it to the jury would taint the trial and any verdict that results . as such , the defense council 's motion is sustained , and the recordings are barred from the trial . this court is in recess until tomorrow morning . bailiff : all rise . judge chua : [ sighing ] michael : hey . congratulations . and nice work , diane . kiki : the jury is never going to see the tapes ? aj : yeah , but i have . and now i know . monica : now you know what ? aj : look , i did it . i killed connie . michael : do you remember killing connie ? aj : no , but what other explanation is there ? diane : do n't assume the worst . until and unless those tapes are found , no one really knows what happened . | elizabeth tells patrick that she feels badly about having to testify against aj but their relationship is over . at aj 's trial , scott presents as evidence the security tapes from the metro court for the night of connie 's murder . diane objects because the prosecution never made the tape available to the defense beforehand . the judge sends the jury out and allows da baldwin to show the tape to the defense and the spectators . the video shows drunken aj stumbling into the metro court and onto an elevator where he presses the button for the floor that connie 's office was on and loads a pistol . diane asks to see the rest of the footage that shows aj getting off the elevator and shooting connie . scott says it was destroyed in a flood at the metro court . diane says the judge ca n't allow the jury to see it . the judge agrees that the footage is prejudicial and that the jury ca n't see it . aj believes he really did it . diane tells him not to assume the worst , because no one will know what really happened until the rest of the footage turns up . | <s>[INST] sabrina : i am so sorry . you 'll never believe what -- felix : i do n't care . sabrina : you do n't care ? felix : i just want to know how you 're gon na make it up to me for leaving me hanging for -- sabrina : massages . by a very handsome , licensed massage therapist at deception spa . felix : deception spa has n't opened . sabrina : i throw in mani - pedis . honestly , felix , i 'm sorry that i 'm late . i just could n't help -- felix : this is n't late . this is left for dead . i mean , with lackadaisical way you 're handling this wedding , it 's as if you 're not even gon na get married tomorrow . sabrina : well , if carlos has his way , i wo n't be .

[ scene_break ] scott : as manager of the metro court , i 'm gon na need you to authenticate that this originated from there . diane : objection , your honor . what is the prosecution referring to ? scott : security footage that provides frame - by - frame account of the night that aj quartermaine murdered connie falconeri . diane : objection , your honor . the defense was never made aware of the existence of this footage . scott : if it pleases your honor , here 's the footage . now you 're aware of it . diane : your honor ! judge chua : let 's see where this goes , ms. miller . the minutes we waste today may save us hours in the days to come . mr. district attorney , make this worth the court 's while . scott : yes , i will , your honor . can you confirm that this is the security footage from august 23 , 2013 ? olivia : it looks like it to me . scott : and it will look like it to the jury , as well . diane : objection ! the council is testifying . scott : your honor , this will bring this trial to a speedy end , justice will be served , and the victim 's loved ones will be at ease . diane : move to strike ! judge chua : mr. baldwin . the district attorney 's comment will be stricken from the record . scott : i apologize for my passion . judge chua : let it happen again , and it 'll be a contempt charge . scott : understood . well ... let 's go to the video tape . diane : you can not admit a piece of evidence that was held back in discovery . scott : my office just came into possession of this footage . diane : well , how fortuitous for you ! especially since my team requested copies of the metro court footage of the night in question months ago , and we were told by the management that that footage had been lost . so , of course , that begs the question -- scott : my staff was a little more persistent . i went back to the good people at the metro court , had them take another look . monica : yes , and miraculously , the tape showed up . judge chua : ms. falconeri , why was the defense not granted access to the security footage while the prosecution was ? olivia : there was a small flood in our security office the night of connie 's murder . a number of our records were either lost or misplaced in the cleanup , including those . scott : there you have it . diane : your honor , i hope you find the prosecution 's assertion just as flimsy as i do . i move that you do not allow this into evidence . sonny : a woman 's dead , okay ? why ca n't -- if you got evidence that proves who did it , why ca n't you use it ? judge chua : order . mr. corinthos , i respect your bereavement , but you must sit down . scott : mr. corinthos is right . in the sake of justice , the jury should see the security footage to show what happened the night of connie falconeri 's murder . show that the defendant is a cold - blooded murderer . [ scene_break ] elizabeth : aj thought i was there to support him . he did n't realize that the prosecution had subpoenaed me . patrick : so , wait , diane did n't warn him ? elizabeth : oh , i 'm sure she did . but knowing aj , he did n't believe her or he just heard what he wanted to hear . patrick : that probably did n't go well . elizabeth : i had to tell the truth . but i had to explain that even though aj said he wanted to hurt her , he was just blowing off steam . patrick : so how did that go over ? elizabeth : the damage was already done . i 'm afraid i might have sent aj away for the rest of his life . [ scene_break ] felix : carlos is still dogging you ? sabrina : yeah . felix : damn , girl . what kind of alien pheromones are you giving off that this guy ca n't get enough of you , and how can i bottle some of it for myself ? sabrina : are you kidding me ? carlos is nothing but trouble . you should want to get as close to him as i want to get close to brad . felix : [ sighs ] maybe i should take a crack at carlos . sabrina : absolutely not . he 's working for that mob boss who 's all over the front page of the paper , julian jerome . felix : so if he 's a mobster , that means he really is ... sabrina : oh , my god . do n't . felix : ... carlos danger ! i 'm sorry . sabrina : wow . felix : i could n't resist . sabrina : well , hopefully you can resist the urge to confront him , because i do n't want you or patrick or anybody i care about anywhere near carlos . i 'll just -- i 'll deal with him myself . felix : do n't deal with him at all . he 's just doing this for attention , so why let him ? just show him how unimportant he is , and he 'll go away . sabrina : i do n't think that 's gon na work , because every single time i shut carlos down , he comes back with something crazier and bigger than before . felix : so , what 's crazy carlos up to now ? sabrina : he 's saying robin is alive . [ scene_break ] nikolas : sabrina must have sent my and britt 's invitation by carrier pigeon . how 'd you come by yours ? robin : i swiped it . nikolas : ooh , and you used to be such a good little girl . robin : what was i supposed to do , nikolas ? i mean , there was an invitation right there sitting in front of me to my husband 's wedding . nikolas : well , i hope that its intended recipient is n't missing it . any idea who it 's for ? robin : yeah , someone named ellie trout . sabrina left it in the lab for her . nikolas : hopefully not while you were there . robin : oh , yeah . while i was there . i had to cram myself into this teeny , tiny little place underneath the desk . nikolas : she could have seen you . robin : yeah . you know , it 's lucky patrick did n't see me , either . nikolas : what do you mean ? patrick came into the lab while you were hiding ? robin : yes . and from what i can tell , he 's still really into the whole pda thing . nikolas : well , at least i know why you 've been so snippy all day . robin : patrick and sabrina were very ... sweet to each other . i mean , what couple is n't on the eve of their wedding ? nikolas : i 'm really sorry . i know this has been hell for you . robin : [ scoffs ] you got that right . nikolas : but considering what 's at stake here , it 's really a good thing that they did n't discover you . robin : yeah , well ... at least they did n't . [ scene_break ] ava : your ex is marrying patrick drake , is n't she ? i thought his wife died a couple of years ago . carlos : yeah , well , that 's the general consensus . but dr. robin scorpio - drake is very much alive . ava : well [ chuckles ] julian came back from the dead , so to speak . what 's one more ? carlos : yeah . exactly . ava : mm . but , still , you know , everyone in town , including her husband , thinks that robin is very much dead . so what is it that makes you suspect that she still walks among the living ? carlos : i saw her with my own two eyes . robin 's alive ? ! [ scene_break ] sabrina : oh , my god . indoor voice ! felix : carlos said that robin is alive ? sabrina : yes ! just keep it down . felix : okay , when and where exactly did carlos see the late scorpio - drake ? sabrina : yesterday at the hospital in the lab . i guess he was looking for me , and he says that he found robin instead . felix : well , how would he even know what she looks like ? sabrina : from a picture that he saw at patrick 's house on one of his many uninvited visits . felix : honey , carlos did not see robin . in the flesh , anyway . but maybe , just maybe , he saw her in a more ... supernatural form ? sabrina : wait . are you saying that carlos saw robin 's ghost ? felix : why not ? sabrina : because ghosts are n't real . felix : what if they were ? i mean , where would robin 's spirit be hanging out ? at the hospital , in the lab , where she died . sabrina : what ? ! felix : what ? it could happen . and it 's a hell of a lot more believable than her coming back from the dead like a zombie . [ scene_break ] nikolas : who is this carlos ? robin : he 's sabrina 's ex . and he 's still in love with her in that `` i really do n't want her to marry patrick drake `` kind of way . nikolas : what was he doing in the lab ? robin : someone told him that sabrina was in there , and he found me instead . nikolas : well , why did n't you tell me about this last night ? robin : because i was still a little freaked out , and it 's fine . i mean , carlos has no idea who i am . nikolas : you 're sure ? you 're absolutely positive ? robin : [ sighs ] i do n't know . he did mention something about me looking familiar . nikolas : oh , robin , he could have seen pictures of you . robin : nikolas , it 's done , okay ? we ca n't make him un - see me , so now all we can do is cross our fingers and hope that he does n't put it all together . [ scene_break ] carlos : robin tells me that her name is epiphany johnson . well , then i ran into a picture of the real epiphany , and that 's when i realized that robin was lying about who she was . and then i remembered where i had seen her before . in a picture at patrick 's house . ava : so , did you go back and confront her ? carlos : [ sighs ] i tried ! but by the time i got there , she had already cleared out . ava : so , you have no proof , then . carlos : you do n't think it 's possible ? ava : i think it 's possible that you saw this robin . i think it 's possible that your mind is playing tricks . i mean , you 've been wanting to get back together with sabrina for how long now ? carlos : years . ever since we broke up . ava : right . now you 've come all the way to port charles to win her back , only to discover that she 's moved on , with a man who not too long ago lost his wife . and now right before their wedding , this not - so - dead wife conveniently appears to you out of the blue . carlos : yeah , sabrina did n't believe me , either . i mean , i barely believe it myself . who would ? who would ? [ scene_break ] patrick : look , if aj spends the rest of his life in prison , that 's his fault . a woman is dead , right ? elizabeth : yeah , but i do n't know that he killed her . patrick : but you told the truth on the stand ? elizabeth : yes . patrick : then you did your job . now the jury has to do theirs and diane has to do hers . you ca n't defend aj , and he needs to understand that . elizabeth : yeah , but i do n't know that he does . patrick : [ sighs ] well , then , that is on him . elizabeth : but you should have seen him when i was on the stand . he looked miserable . like he knew that this is how his life was going to end -- alone . patrick : but he 's not alone . i mean , he has his mother , he has michael . elizabeth : and me , right ? patrick : well ... elizabeth : no . no , i ca n't do it anymore . whatever happened between aj and me , it 's over . [ scene_break ] judge chua : i 'm going to dismiss the jury while we view the recordings . we 'll see what they contain without contaminating the jury . after which , i 'll rule on the admissibility . scott : uh , your honor , now it 's my turn to object . judge chua : overruled . scott : you have n't heard my grounds . judge chua : you do n't have any . ms. miller , how about you ? any objections ? diane : none whatsoever , your honor . in fact , this will be quite a time - saver for the defense . judge chua : thank you . now , bailiff . kiki : are you sure you want to stay here for this ? michael : yeah , no , i have to be here . for both my fathers . kiki : okay . you be here for your fathers , and i 'll be here for you . judge chua : mr. district attorney , it 's your show . olivia : do you want to get out of here ? sonny : why would i want to do that ? olivia : because we do n't know what 's on that tape . sonny , what if it 's connie ? we do n't know that it 's not her getting murdered -- sonny : you want to go ? 'cause if you want to go , go ahead , 'cause i 'm gon na stay here . it 's something i need to do for connie . olivia : sonny , i do n't think connie would want you watching her in a snuff film . sonny : it 's not about -- it 's more than that . i just -- i just feel that connie 's not gon na be at rest until i know what happened . until that son of a bitch is locked away for life . [ scene_break ] ava : you already told sabrina that you saw robin ? carlos : i ran into sabrina , literally , right after it all happened . what was i supposed to do ? ava : you 're supposed to keep your mouth shut and come to me , and we think together . we think and we come up with a way for you to break the news . carlos : there 's no time . sabrina is getting married tomorrow to a married man . now , even if i did n't want her for myself , she deserves to know . ava : well , i do n't blame you for having impulse to act . but i do n't blame sabrina for being skeptical , either . carlos : it 's beyond skepticism . she wo n't even listen to me . ava : well , then , maybe sabrina is n't the person you should be talking to . you want results ? you want someone to take to heart what you 're saying ? then you bypass sabrina altogether . you go to the husband , and you tell patrick his wife is alive . [ scene_break ] nikolas : i 'll keep an eye on the carlos situation , but if he does realize who you are , he 's not just gon na sit on his hands and do nothing if he 's in love with sabrina the way you say . robin : oh , he is . but she does n't want to have anything to do with him , because she 's in love with my husband ... who 's apparently in love with her ... who are getting married tomorrow , and then once they exchange vows and rings , well , that 'll be it . nikolas : robin , the only reason the wedding is still happening is 'cause patrick does n't realize you 're still alive . but once you get the cure for jerry , we 'll trade it in for your parents , and you 'll be in the clear . you can go to patrick and tell him everything . robin : nikolas , it does n't matter what i tell him . he 's still fallen in love with another woman . [ scene_break ] sabrina : as much as i 'd like to chalk up carlos ' claim to a visit from the spirit world , it makes more sense that he 's just lying to me to get at patrick . i mean , he tried it before with patrick 's wedding ring , and then he tried it again with that stupid prank phone call that he staged from robin . he 's just trying to stop this wedding . felix : he 'll have to try harder than that , 'cause the only thing that 's gon na scuttle these nuptials is the seating arrangement . if epiphany and i are sitting too close , it 's gon na be clash of the titans . sabrina : [ laughs ] felix : speaking of arrangements , can i escort you to the restaurant , so we can check it out ? sabrina : yes . in a second . felix : in a second ? we 're already an hour late . sabrina : i know , i know , but ... i need to talk to you about something . felix : yes , sabrina , we 're going to use birdseed instead of rice for the happy couple , so the birds do n't explode . sabrina : thank you . this is n't about the birdseed , although i really do appreciate that . felix : [ chuckles ] sabrina : this is about you . i need you to do me a favor . felix : after everything else , what 's one more ? what can i do ? sabrina : i need you to be my maid of honor . [ scene_break ] patrick : look , whether aj is innocent or guilty , i know this is really difficult on you . too difficult to make it work . elizabeth : just thought things were gon na be different this time . you know , because we actually had something in common . patrick : which was ? elizabeth : we both wanted to change our lives . we were looking for redemption , which now i know is not a great basis for any relationship . [ chuckles ] guess we were doomed from the start . unlike you and sabrina . patrick : [ chuckles ] elizabeth : i 'm really happy for you guys . patrick : thank you . i am , too . elizabeth : you 've come a long way since you lost robin . patrick : [ chuckles ] elizabeth : and i 'm really excited to be at the church tomorrow and watch you get married . patrick : which is why i 'm so glad that i ran into you , because i would really like you to be there , but as more than a guest . elizabeth : oh . patrick , if you want me to be your flower girl , you might have to speak with emma about that . patrick : [ laughs ] well , i have something better , actually , i think . will you be my best man ? [ scene_break ] diane : you need to do exactly as i say . when the jury comes back , they 're going to gauge the room 's mood . they 're gon na be looking for clues from you , as to your guilt or innocence . so you need to just keep it together , no matter what 's on these tapes . aj : okay . scott : we 're ready , your honor . olivia : this is it . are you sure you 're ready ? sonny : yeah . are you ? olivia : i 'm not going anywhere . judge chua : all right , mr. baldwin . press play . scott : with pleasure . please note date and time stamp . august 23 , 2013 -- the night of the murder . oh . you can clearly see the defendant in the mishap . diane : objection , your honor . it is in no way clear that the man on the screen is my client . are we supposed to take the d.a . 's word for it ? this could be anyone who simply bears a passing resemblance to my client , who was just wandering through . scott : your honor , the people have a signed affidavit from an expert in facial - recognition software , who has matched the man on the video tape with the defendant . we also have a statement from the bellhop , who picked the defendant out of a lineup , who will testify for the prosecution . judge chua : overruled . d.a . baldwin , please proceed . scott : your honor , that is the defendant on his way to commit an execution . [ scene_break ] diane : if the district attorney wants to persecute my client , then let him issue a citation for public drunkenness . to classify this as evidence is malicious prosecution . any conviction influenced by this footage is a gross miscarriage of justice . scott : your honor , i think the next tape speaks for itself . not only did the defendant have the opportunity to murder , but he also had the means . judge chua : i 'll allow it . scott : you 'll note that the defendant selected the third floor , where the crimson offices are , where the victim worked and where sonny corinthos would find that victim bleeding to death . there you have it . the defendant with weapon , motive , opportunity , at the scene of the crime . your honor , i give you connie falconeri 's murderer . aj : oh , my god . i really did it . i -- i killed connie . [ scene_break ] ava : seems to me you have two options . you keep quiet and let sabrina naively trip down the aisle , only to have her heart broken . or you spare her that pain , and you tell patrick that his wife is alive . carlos : do n't you think i already thought of that ? just last night , i was standing outside his house . i was about to knock on his door . ava : why did n't you ? carlos : [ sighs ] i could n't think of a way to tell him that would convince him . ava : well , that would take some doing . carlos : patrick knows i want sabrina . he 's not gon na believe a word i say . and now it 's even more impossible that everybody knows i 'm julian jerome 's right- hand man . no offense . ava : i would take it as a compliment . carlos : yeah . nothing left to be done . sabrina 's fate is out of my hands and into robin 's . [ scene_break ] nikolas : i honestly do n't know how you survived being separated from patrick and emma without going completely crazy . robin : [ chuckles ] who says i have n't ? nikolas : i do . i think that you are as strong and as grounded as ever , and i know it feels like eternity to you , but you 're almost there . your hope 's right across the water . patrick does n't know it yet , but he 's waiting for you . robin : that 's just it , nikolas . he is n't . i mean , patrick 's feelings for sabrina wo n't disappear just because i 've come back into his life . [ scene_break ] elizabeth : i 'm touched . i think . patrick : [ laughs ] elizabeth : you want me to be your best man ? patrick : yes . i mean , just from a practical standpoint . you 're very organized . i know you 're not gon na forget the rings . elizabeth : oh , right . so , you 're not really looking for a best man , but more a caddy . patrick : no , of course not . listen , i would ask my brother , but he 's not really in the position to do this . [ sighs ] in all honesty , when i was thinking about this , i started asking the questions , `` who 's always been there for me ? who always lent me their ear when i wanted to vent ? whose shoulder did i always cry on ? `` and every answer i got was you . elizabeth : patrick . patrick : seriously , though . you 're a very dear friend of mine . you helped me and emma after robin died . you had my back . you had -- you had both of our backs , and i could n't imagine standing at that altar without knowing that you were there with me . elizabeth : how can i say no ? patrick : good answer . [ scene_break ] felix : you want me to -- wait , what ? sabrina : will you be my maid of honor ? felix : oh , honey , that 's so sweet of you to ask . but i did drag once . once . [ chuckles ] and i went all in . i had a platinum beehive wig and six - inch stilettos , and a sensational , zebra - striped , sequin gown , and i went by the name shantay au lait . sabrina : [ laughs ] wow . that sounds amazing , but i 'm not asking -- felix : great on paper . a disaster in heels . and i 'm not gon na do it again unless you want to spring for the emergency calf implants . in which case , maybe . sabrina : okay , let 's forget `` maid . `` how about person ? person of honor ? felix : person of honor . i like it . sabrina : [ chuckles ] felix : me ? sabrina : duh ! who else ? felix : i thought that was a privilege you gave to your family . sabrina : i am . felix , this is the most important day of my life . i ca n't move forward with patrick without my best friend , whom i love with all of my heart , standing by my side . so , what do you say ? felix : no . [ scene_break ] scott : the defense has seen the footage . now it is time for the jury to see the footage , to see the defendant wielding the murder weapon , exiting onto the floor where the victim , moments later , was killed . judge chua : ms. miller . diane : that 's fine , your honor . monica : it is ? kiki : did she just say that ? michael : just let her finish . she has to be working some kind of an angle . diane : the defense has absolutely no objection to the jury seeing this footage . scott : good . bring in the jury . diane : provided we see the rest of the footage . monica : what are you doing ? diane : my job , thank you very much . now pipe down , mother . d.a . baldwin , the rest of the footage , please . scott : the rest of what footage ? diane : the footage which shows my client disembarking from the elevator . i mean , that must be even more damning . certainly it shows my client shooting connie falconeri in cold blood . monica : what the hell is she doing ? michael : it 's okay . it 's okay . kiki : is it ? michael : yeah , she 's got this . judge chua : i 'd like to see the rest of this footage , too , mr. baldwin . do you have any idea where it is ? scott : it 's gone , your honor . judge chua : gone where ? scott : well , i 'm gon na have to refer to olivia falconeri 's testimony about the flood , that everything , after what we saw , was either lost or destroyed in that flood . diane : does the district attorney mean to say that there 's no evidence of my client actually entering the crimson offices ? no footage of him killing the deceased ? no indication of how he might have exited the hotel ? scott : your honor , the jury needs to see this footage . diane : this footage , which is incomplete and dangerously prejudicial . while the footage which might exonerate my innocent client has somehow gone missing ? i think not , your honor . the jury can not be allowed to see these tapes , and i move that you bar them from this trial . [ scene_break ] ava : carlos , carlos , carlos , carlos . what are we gon na do with you ? carlos : nothing to do . sabrina 's made her choice . i have to accept it . ava : mm . but you 're in pain . when you have a void like that inside of you , it can eat you alive slowly . bit by bit . till it consumes you entirely . carlos : what do you know about it ? ava : well , i know what it 's like ... to have your whole world wrapped up in someone who does n't love you anymore . who 's made it perfectly clear that his future does not include you , and someone who will probably ruin their life because he 's spurned you . carlos : what idiot would possibly spurn you ? ava : [ laughs ] not an idiot . just ... arrogant . unwilling to compromise . i do n't want to talk about him . i want to talk about you . and how i do n't want you to end up like me . carlos : oh , come on . you 're doing all right from where i 'm standing . ava : i 'm not . but you can . so let me help you . let me go to patrick on your behalf . if he wo n't take your word for it , maybe he 'll take mine . [ scene_break ] sabrina : no ? okay , no , yeah , i mean ... [ chuckles ] you 've already done so much to make sure that this wedding is gon na happen , and i should n't have just assumed that you -- felix : girl , i 'm messing with you . [ laughs ] you 're too easy . of course , i 'll be your person of honor . sabrina : what ? ! felix : [ laughs ] sabrina : really ? felix : like never before . sabrina : [ laughing ] oh , my god ! thank you . felix : you 're welcome . i 'm so privileged to have you as a friend . and i 'm proud to stand with you on your wedding day . sabrina : thank you so much . felix : you deserve all the joy your life can bring . so , spread some of it around , okay ? because some of us are still woefully unengaged . sabrina : [ laughs ] i promise . once this wedding is done , i will resume full wing man responsibilities and get you hooked up . felix : yeah , well , speaking of weddings , we have a restaurant to get squared away . now , where the hell 's the groom ? [ scene_break ] patrick : ha . yes . settled . elizabeth : i 'll do it . patrick : perfect . now i really got to get to the metro court before felix puts out a bounty . elizabeth : real quick . can i ask you a favor ? patrick : of course . you can ask me anything . elizabeth : can you call me your best person ? 'cause i do n't really like being called a man . patrick : yes . of course . i 'll call you anything you want . okay , i 'll see you tomorrow . elizabeth : no . no , no , no , no . no . um , you are gon na see me in about three hours . patrick : why 's that ? elizabeth : well , i think i have to throw you a bachelor party . patrick : no , you do n't have to do that . elizabeth : yes , i do . we 're gon na go out for drinks and whatever else transpires . patrick : ooh . okay . in that case , i 'll see you in three hours . elizabeth : all right . cab 's gon na pick you up at your house . [ scene_break ] nikolas : patrick loves you . for almost two years , he believed you were dead . once he sees that you 're alive , he 's not just gon na shrug that off . robin : yeah , but he 's not gon na sweep me into his arms , either , and forget about sabrina . i mean , my family is not going to pick up just where it left off . patrick is moving on . nikolas : he did n't know , robin . none of us did . robin : [ sighs ] it 's just so ironic , is n't it ? that patrick is only doing exactly what i asked him to do in that dvd that i left him . nikolas : i know . you told him to move on with someone else , so he and emma can build a life together with someone else . you thought you were doing the right thing . robin : and now emma and patrick , they are happy . they have someone in their life that cares about them and by all accounts is a good person , so , what , i 'm just supposed to waltz in there and take all that away from them ? i mean , how is it fair of me to demand our old life back when they 've worked so hard to build a new one that i 'm not a part of ? nikolas : hey . hey . hey . patrick and emma still need you . robin : they have sabrina . they do n't need me . [ scene_break ] felix : come on . we have work to do . elizabeth : oh , no . you have work to do . i am officially ... off duty . felix : [ scoffs ] work - work can wait . i 'm talking wedding work . you 're the best person , right ? elizabeth : oh , i see good news travels fast . felix : well , patrick and i had a small exchange of information when he showed up an hour late to walk through the reception venue . elizabeth : why did n't you stay ? felix : it was a bride / groom moment . besides , i 'm the person of honor . you and i have tons of coordinating to do . elizabeth : we do ? felix : yes , not to mention hair , nails , and peels . elizabeth : i 'm sorry . not tonight . the groom and i have plans for a pub crawl . felix : uh , you can beautify before you indulge . how do you feel about a spray tan ? great . i knew you 'd go for it . [ scene_break ] sabrina : so , what do you think ? patrick : i think it looks great . i think felix did a really , really great job . sabrina : well , was there ever any doubt ? patrick : i would n't say `` doubt , `` no . so , that 's it . so , the venue 's set . sabrina : mm - hmm . patrick : yeah ? and , um , seating chart ? sabrina : i ran it by elizabeth to make sure we 're not sitting any exes near enemies . patrick : how 'd that go ? sabrina : well , it is port charles . patrick : mm - hmm . sabrina : we did what we could . patrick : [ sighs ] all right . sabrina : mm - hmm . patrick : so , time to go home . sabrina : yeah . for me , too . patrick : mm ... we 're not going to the same place ? sabrina : are you kidding me ? it 's the night before the wedding . that 's bad luck . patrick : it 's superstitious . sabrina : look , after everything it took for us to get here , i 'm not taking any chances . patrick : look , it does n't matter what happens or where we sleep -- this wedding is going to be perfect . believe me . sabrina : [ chuckles ] it 's gon na be perfect even if it 's not perfect . patrick : i 'm gon na miss you tonight . unless , of course , you ... sabrina : [ laughs ] i 'm not changing my mind . patrick : all right , then . i will live with your whims . from this day forward . et cetera , et cetera . sabrina : [ laughs ] patrick : 'cause we have the rest of our lives now , right ? sabrina : yeah . [ scene_break ] nikolas : i know you 're really nervous about seeing patrick and emma . you 're afraid that you wo n't get the response that you 're hoping to , but there 's one thing that you have to remember here . okay ? robin : what ? at least i have my health ? nikolas : no . you are still the woman that patrick fell in love with and married . i mean , come on . you have a little girl together . robin : but sabrina is the next woman that he 's fallen in love with and marrying . and emma already sees sabrina as her new mommy , so what am i supposed to do with that ? nikolas : you will figure it out . in the meantime , just focus on getting that cure for jerry , and in 24 hours , this will all be over , jerry will be out of your life , and you 'll be back in patrick and emma 's . come here . robin : [ sighs ] [ scene_break ] carlos : thanks for the offer , but ... ava : thanks , but no thanks . carlos : yeah . drake would n't believe you any more than he 'd believe me . and in the end , sabrina would only hate me even more . ava : you 're probably right . carlos : oh , i know i 'm right . patrick and sabrina wo n't believe that robin 's alive until they see her with their own eyes . just like i did . thanks for the offer , though . you 're a true friend . [ scene_break ] judge chua : while the content of the tapes is intriguing , as evidence , the footage is incomplete and prejudicial . showing it to the jury would taint the trial and any verdict that results . as such , the defense council 's motion is sustained , and the recordings are barred from the trial . this court is in recess until tomorrow morning . bailiff : all rise . judge chua : [ sighing ] michael : hey . congratulations . and nice work , diane . kiki : the jury is never going to see the tapes ? aj : yeah , but i have . and now i know . monica : now you know what ? aj : look , i did it . i killed connie . michael : do you remember killing connie ? aj : no , but what other explanation is there ? diane : do n't assume the worst . until and unless those tapes are found , no one really knows what happened .Summarize.[/INST]elizabeth tells patrick that she feels badly about having to testify against aj but their relationship is over . at aj 's trial , scott presents as evidence the security tapes from the metro court for the night of connie 's murder . diane objects because the prosecution never made the tape available to the defense beforehand . the judge sends the jury out and allows da baldwin to show the tape to the defense and the spectators . the video shows drunken aj stumbling into the metro court and onto an elevator where he presses the button for the floor that connie 's office was on and loads a pistol . diane asks to see the rest of the footage that shows aj getting off the elevator and shooting connie . scott says it was destroyed in a flood at the metro court . diane says the judge ca n't allow the jury to see it . the judge agrees that the footage is prejudicial and that the jury ca n't see it . aj believes he really did it . diane tells him not to assume the worst , because no one will know what really happened until the rest of the footage turns up .</s> | 12,062 |

[ sighs ] heather : are you trying to say it was something else ? olivia : let 's just say i 'm a little surprised at the way things turned out . steven : i - i - i know . i know maggie was troubled about what happened in memphis . but i - i had no idea she 'd kill herself . it just makes no sense . olivia : you -- you know that i was never maggie 's biggest fan . but it just really seemed like she loved her work . she was so good at what she did helping all those kids . she had so much to live for . i ... heather : it just goes to show you , you never really know someone . you know , you told me once that maggie was in love with steven lars . well , all i 'm saying is , some women commit desperate acts when they ca n't be with the man they want .

[ sighs ] epiphany : i have been cutting you slack because i knew that you needed time to deal with robin 's death . but what you 're doing right now is the opposite of dealing . you need to take a long , hard look in the mirror so that you know what your little girl sees when she looks at you . then you need to decide if that 's the person you want to be .

[ scene_break ] elizabeth : that was an update on dr. keenan 's condition . he needs brain surgery . jason : because of what kate did ? elizabeth : i know she 's sick . i know she had no control over what happened . but , god , that attack was so violent . it 's just -- it 's -- it 's unsettling . anna : oh , wow ! hi . hey . look who 's here . how 's my granddaughter ? mwah . luke : wow . he looks more like lucky every time i see him . emma : do you want to color with me ? anna : sure . i 'd love to color . that would be awesome . let 's do some coloring . did you do all these drawings ? emma : yes . epiphany : you got a minute ? elizabeth : yeah . of course .

[ scene_break ] did you sign in with the desk sergeant ? todd : of course i -- no , i mean -- i - i thought he was having some coffee or something . and , y - you know , i - i could n't wait because i need to talk to the woman that -- that 's in that room . what business do you have with kate howard ? todd : it 's a crime that 's been committed . yeah , well , she 's with her lawyer right now , so you 're gon na have to leave . todd : well , now , wait . hold on . hold on . um , i can explain . see , i - i , uh -- i own a little newspaper . it 's called the sun . come back when there 's a press conference . todd : i 'm a publisher . it 's the first amendment ! look , i - it 's a really high amendment , the first amendment ! i - it 's higher even than -- than the right to bear arms ! [ scene_break ] alexis : why do you think connie was responsible ? kate : because the night of the crash , when anthony 's car forced cole thornhart 's off the road , i had two blackouts , which gave connie opportunity . she certainly had motive . and if what i am most afraid of is true ... [ sniffles ] [ voice breaking ] she had the means to do it . [ scene_break ] mcbain : well , sam , it 's kind of a long story . sam : what , are you afraid i 'm gon na tell jason ? because that 's not really an issue right now . you know we 're barely even speaking . mcbain : i 'm sorry . you deserve better . sam : look , it is what it is . i just want you to know that just because jason works for sonny , it does n't mean that he 's an accomplice in every crime that he commits . mcbain : i never said that he was . sam : you know , at one point , i halfway wanted sonny to be found guilty for causing that accident . mcbain : i like the way you think . sam : no , it 's very selfish . i thought maybe if jason was n't working for sonny , then we could start a new life together for the baby . but sonny was acquitted , and the baby is n't ours , so ... very smooth , lieutenant . mcbain : what ? sam : you just managed to avoid answering any questions about yourself . mcbain : did i ? sam : so , this issue with sonny , it 's an old fbi thing ? mcbain : sonny hurt someone i cared about . sam : a woman ? mcbain : i have limited time here to investigate , and it 's running out . but i 'll tell you one thing . i 'm not leaving here empty - handed . [ scene_break ] elizabeth : so , the news report said that ronnie used sam as a shield and that his gun was in her side when john mcbain killed him ? jason : yeah , he , uh , saved sam 's life . elizabeth : hmm . jason : i guess she , uh , feels like she does n't really need me right now . elizabeth : jason , do n't say that . i mean , come on . she 's having a baby . jason : and she asked me again if i could love the baby ... franco 's baby , like it was my own , and ... i just -- i told her the truth . i just -- i just do n't know if i can . elizabeth : it must have been really difficult for her to hear . i mean , we always say we want complete honesty in a relationship and that truth and trust are essential . and i - i mean , they are . but sometimes you just want to hear that everything 's gon na be okay . jason : and i could n't say what sam needed to hear . that 's -- that 's why she left . elizabeth : you guys have a lot to work through . does n't mean you do n't love each other . jason : i know . i - i love sam . but somehow , at least for now , we just got to figure out how to be apart .

[ sighs ] heather : are you trying to say it was something else ? olivia : let 's just say i 'm a little surprised at the way things turned out . steven : i - i - i know . i know maggie was troubled about what happened in memphis . but i - i had no idea she 'd kill herself . it just makes no sense . olivia : you -- you know that i was never maggie 's biggest fan . but it just really seemed like she loved her work . she was so good at what she did helping all those kids . she had so much to live for . i ... heather : it just goes to show you , you never really know someone . you know , you told me once that maggie was in love with steven lars . well , all i 'm saying is , some women commit desperate acts when they ca n't be with the man they want . [ scene_break ] luke : yes , that 's great . i have the new number . perfect . thank you . anna : heather had your gun ? luke : she found it when she tossed our place . anna : i do n't like the thought of her just prowling around our place like that . luke : tell me about it . anna : no , i mean , i 'm gon na have to check and make sure that nothing of mine is missing , 'cause -- luke : i 'm telling you , it really creeps me out to think that she 's in there rummaging through our stuff . but i - i - i do think that her treasure hunt ended when she found my gun . i was able to talk her out of taking it with her to memphis to bust steve out of jail . [ chuckles ] no , it 's not funny . anna : [ chuckles ] luke : it 's not funny . anna : no , it 's not funny . luke : no . [ stifled laugh ] anna : just the thought of her , you know , storming away into the memphis police station , it 's really good . luke : rambo in high heels .

[ sighs ] epiphany : i have been cutting you slack because i knew that you needed time to deal with robin 's death . but what you 're doing right now is the opposite of dealing . you need to take a long , hard look in the mirror so that you know what your little girl sees when she looks at you . then you need to decide if that 's the person you want to be . [ door closes ] [ scene_break ] jason : you know , when i -- when i think about the baby , i mean , all i see is franco . and i - i wish that i could get past it , but i just ... i just -- i just do n't know how . elizabeth : it would take a saint not to feel what you 're feeling right now . jason : you know , sam said it 's not fair for the baby . the baby did n't ask for it . she right -- she 's right . it deserves to be loved . but ... i do n't know . i guess i - it 's my fault that i ca n't promise to do that . elizabeth : jason , i know you . as soon as that baby is born , when you see it and you hold it , you 're gon na fall in love . jason : but by then , it might be too late for me and sam .

[ chuckles ] bye . mcbain : happy birthday . [ scene_break ] alexis : you said you had two blackouts on the night of the incident . kate : sonny had been shot , which was bad enough . and he was so intent on going after anthony , i - i told him that i could n't take the violence anymore , and i walked out on him . and i do n't remember where i went or what i did until i found myself on the elm street pier in a bloody wedding dress . alexis : a wedding dress ? kate : the wedding dress and veil that i was shot in the day sonny and i were supposed to be married . alexis : you kept them ? kate : i know . it sounds morbid . but i kept it because it reminded me how close i came to almost dying . and for a while , it was incentive enough to stay away from sonny , but now i realize that once i let myself get back with him , that that 's when connie started to manifest . alexis : all right . stay with me . we were talking about the night of the incident . kate : dr. keenan found me on the pier . he tried to help me , but i ran away . and the next thing i remember , i was in my office . and that gave connie ample enough time to go after anthony . alexis : but why ? kate : because connie wanted sonny out of our life . and she knew that i would eventually forgive him . and she was right . the next day , i took sonny back . and that 's when we were in my office , when -- where we made love . alexis : but that night , what happened between the time you left the pier and you found yourself in your office ? kate : connie must have been trying to get rid of sonny by framing him for anthony 's murder , only anthony did n't die . a young man and his child did . and i keep saying connie 's responsible , but if this is the truth , then it was my hand that pulled the trigger . i am the murderer . [ scene_break ] carly : todd told me about the complicated situation between you and your husband , todd 's brother . téa : my late husband . and there 's nothing complicated about it . todd killed victor in cold blood . carly : todd said he was suffering from post - traumatic stress , and he did n't know what he was doing . téa : [ scoffs ] carly , is it ? carly : yeah . téa : you do n't know a thing about todd . my child is gon na grow up without a father because of him , so do n't you dare defend that man to me . carly : my mistake . i 'm sorry for your loss . téa : i 'm gon na go over to the police station . and hopefully , todd has n't caused even more damage that i wo n't be able to fix . ugh .

[ scene_break ] alexis : all right . look . let 's not get ahead of ourselves . you do n't know for a fact that you 're responsible for anything . kate : even if it 's the only explanation that makes sense ? alexis : if you were n't aware of what was going on , if you did n't remember committing the act , then it 's all speculation . kate : they found a gun in my office , alexis . sonny swore that it was n't his . alexis : do you know how you got the gun ? kate : no ! i do n't know ! i do n't know what connie does , how she does it . how did she get in bed with johnny ? alexis : that appears to be a straightforward attempt to drive sonny away . to -- to frame him for murder is a little extreme . kate : you never met connie , have you ? alexis : is she capable of getting a black - market gun ? kate : when dr. keenan questioned her under hypnosis , she did n't give him a straight answer . when jason asked me about the gun , i was so afraid of the possibility that the gun was mine , that brought connie out . i think she was doing damage control , getting anyone who asked off the subject of the gun . alexis : it appears there 's only one person who knows for certain if the gun was yours . and maybe we need to speak to her . connie . [ scene_break ] elizabeth : that was an update on dr. keenan 's condition . he needs brain surgery . jason : because of what kate did ? elizabeth : i know she 's sick . i know she had no control over what happened . but , god , that attack was so violent . it 's just -- it 's -- it 's unsettling . anna : oh , wow ! hi . hey . look who 's here . how 's my granddaughter ? mwah . luke : wow . he looks more like lucky every time i see him . emma : do you want to color with me ? anna : sure . i 'd love to color . that would be awesome . let 's do some coloring . did you do all these drawings ? emma : yes . epiphany : you got a minute ? elizabeth : yeah . of course . [ scene_break ] jason : i got something to say to you ... about jake . sam : molly does n't know that i moved out . i do n't think my mom wanted to upset her . mcbain : molly worries about you . sam : molly thinks of jason and my relationship as this big fairytale romance , and she is so , so , so excited about this baby . mcbain : she 's a little sister . sam : yes . mcbain : your mom probably did n't tell her , because she 's hoping you and jason will work these things out . sam : you 're probably right . but one thing is true -- that i am absolutely not a big birthday fan at all . i was n't lying to molly about that . mcbain : you 're not a fan of cakes and funny hats ? sam : no . unh - unh . no . and molly wanted to bring something over , of course , and i did n't have the heart to tell her that this is probably going to be the worst birthday of my life . i 'm sorry to be such a downer . hey . good thing -- you 're alive . mcbain : sam ? wait . [ scene_break ] olivia : if johnny had n't gone and stirred everything up by talking to the memphis police , none of this would be happening . steven : as much as i hate to admit it , this is n't johnny 's fault . olivia : yeah , but he still took advantage of the situation . steven : i pulled the plug on the patient . i committed the crime . maggie took her own life to cover for me . olivia : i feel so terrible for maggie . at least johnny ca n't come after you anymore . steven : yeah , neither can the memphis police . olivia : it 's just all so neatly tied up . heather : are we still talking about poor maggie ? i do n't think you 're doing anybody any good by dwelling on it , dear . olivia : it 's just a lot to process , heather . heather : yes , but you 're obviously upsetting steven lars . he not only lost a patient . he lost a friend . so i say we lighten up the mood , miss downer . let 's get out of here . let 's go grab ourselves a blt at kelly 's and celebrate your freedom .

[ scene_break ] curtis : that was wise of you , man , to ask her to marry you . finn : yeah . [ coughs ] yeah , well , no , actually , somehow things got a little turned around , and somehow , she ended up asking me . curtis : well , that was n't wise at all . look , i 'd like to think that i 'm as enlightened as the next guy , but there 's something to be said about tradition . now , beneath hayden 's hardened exterior , she 's really mushy , you know ? she 's a softy , and it 'd have been a good look if you asked her . finn : i was going to . she beat me to the punch , all right , but i 'm gon na make it up to her . curtis : good , 'cause she 's a hell of a woman . finn : you do n't have to tell me . curtis : the first time i met her ... finn : i suspect you 're gon na tell me . curtis : ... that girl was a hot mess . she had issues . some of them self- inflicted , some not so much . now , i will say , no one has worked harder to turn it all around . no one .

[ scene_break ] carly : you kidnapped sonny 's nephew . you used a child to lure sonny somewhere , because you wanted to ambush him . but i know sonny . he figured out that it was a trap . hell , you could n't kill him in puerto rico . i know you could n't do it here . garvey : [ breathing heavily ] i did . i killed him . carly : okay , let 's say you got the jump on sonny . so maybe he 's ... hurt or you left him somewhere . let me tell you how it 's gon na go down . sonny 's people , they know you 're here , and they know you 're vulnerable . and if i can get to you , they can , too . and they 're a -- well , they 're a lot more persuasive than i am . they will make you tell them what happened to sonny . and you may not be able to walk when you 're finished , and you may need more surgery . hell , you may just bleed to death , but you will tell them . so why not spare yourself a whole lot of pain and just tell me ? garvey : [ breathing heavily ] [ door opens ] dante : carly ? what the hell you doing ? [ scene_break ] sonny : i been thinking a lot about you over the years ... ... you know , the life you could have had . the way you died was so unfair . stone : i had a great life , sonny , and a lot of that was because of you . sonny : stone , i was n't there to save you . you know that . i should have been . stone : you 're wrong . you did save me . it is not how long you live . it 's what you do with the life you were given . sooner or later , everybody dies . sonny : is that why you 're here ? because i 'm dying ? stone : that 's up to you .

[ scene_break ] julian : so you said that , um ... sam did n't seem like herself . how so ? ava : well , she ... she seemed fragile . and she seemed ... feverishly , um , determined . and when i say `` feverish , `` i mean literally . julian : can you remember what she said ? ava : i remember that she seemed to be very angry with sonny . julian : yeah , she 's -- she 's been going on about that . ava : sam made a point of blaming him for this , for the fire . she also gave me sort of a pep talk , and i really could n't tell if she was encouraging me to -- to move on from all that sonny has done to me or encouraging me to destroy him . [ scene_break ] finn : there was a time that hayden and i had more baggage than an airport at christmastime . curtis : hm . i hear you . finn : somehow , hayden was able to unload hers just in time to help me through my addiction . curtis : it 's a process . finn : hey , you were there for a lot of that , and i just want you to know , i 'll always appreciate it . curtis : well , you know , i ai n't going nowhere . but i do have some expert advice to give you . finn : let me stop you there . am i gon na find any of this advice either `` a , `` preachy , or `` b , `` annoying ? curtis : almost certainly . finn : okay , that 's good to know ahead of time . go ahead , lay it on me . curtis : about the aforementioned addiction ... happiness ai n't gon na protect you from a relapse .

[ scene_break ] curtis : addiction is complex . you can never let your guard down , you know ? you got ta stay in control of those cravings and go to meetings . finn : i been doing all that . curtis : good . because then the need to use will fade , and it will sound less like a scream and feel more like an echo . sometimes that echo is far away . sometimes it 's up close . finn : yeah , it 's getting really close . curtis : but either way , it 's always there . finn : you still think that ? you hear the echoes ? curtis : from time to time , man , i think we all do . but the important thing is that we fought it once , we can fight it again . but , uh , as for now , yeah . i , uh , got mine under control . finn : for now ? what ... what 's going on ? curtis : man , while hayden 's been able to push her past off a cliff so successfully , jordan and i , we , uh ... we have n't been so successful with that .. finn : what happened ? curtis : my aunt stella is what happened . she moved to port charles , and she unearthed all this history between jordan and me , and it ripped us clean apart . [ scene_break ] carly : just got off the phone with michael . he confirmed that no one has seen sonny , not one of his associates . jordan : i have every available resource at the pcpd looking for sonny , okay ? now , we have n't been able to locate his car or where he might have met garvey , but i am telling you , i am working so hard until i find out . carly : since when did you become so diligent on sonny 's behalf ? you 've been trying to put him in jail since you came to town . jordan : carly -- carly : so if he winds up dead , you can cross your big search for him off your to - do list . [ scene_break ] dante : you come clean about what you did to sonny , and i 'll see about getting you a reduced sentence . garvey : no , no prison . dante : no prison ? no prison ? what do you mean ? yes , prison . yes . you broke parole . you bribed u.s . marshals . you took a child . you took a child from a park , and you kept him as your prisoner alone overnight . garvey : i do n't know what you 're talking -- dante : i do n't think you understand . we have enough dna evidence to secure a conviction , okay ? what i 'm saying is , i can maybe send you to a nicer prison , or i can make sure you do n't go to that prison for the rest of your life if you talk to me , okay ? so i 'm gon na ask you one more time . one more time , garvey . you tell me . you tell me what you did to my father . garvey : [ breathing heavily ] i -- [ monitor beeping ] [ scene_break ] sonny : you know about my boy ? stone : tell me about him , anyway . sonny : morgan stone corinthos . named after my two best friends , you and jason . stone : i 'm honored . sonny : he was a sweet little boy . he loved baseball and penguins . and [ sighs ] he 's the only boy in the world that ate his broccoli . [ laughs ] but as he got -- as he got older , he started getting reckless and impulsive and volatile . not that he was a mean kid , 'cause he had a generous heart , but for a long time , i did n't see what was right in front of me . i did n't recognize what i had passed to him . carly was the first to face it . he was -- he was bipolar , like i am . he had that darkness , and , you know , the high highs and the lows that were crushing . and i thought the bipolar was gon na destroy my boy , but he was so strong . he just fought his demons , and he won . but he died . for no good reason . and i guess i been -- i been trying to figure out how to live in a world without him . maybe i just found out . [ scene_break ] josslyn : [ sighs ] oh , my god . nelle : it 's okay , joss . josslyn : no . no . all i 've been doing is bad - mouthing sonny up and down to mom . like -- i thought -- i mean , since the way he 's lived his life , you know , he deserves whatever 's coming to him . i 'm sorry , michael . i 'm so , so sorry . michael : oh , hey , it 's okay . look , sonny understands why you 're mad at him , and he 'd be the first one to forgive you . [ scene_break ] jordan : carly , i understand why you think i have a bias towards sonny . carly : yeah , 'cause you view him as a criminal . jordan : no , because sonny is a citizen of this town , and it is my responsibility to protect and serve him , regardless of what i think about his business practices . and that 's not even why i have people working double shifts . carly : then why ? why would you spare even one of your men to save my husband ? jordan : because of my son . sonny was a friend to him when he really needed somebody by his side , so that makes this search personal to me . trust me when i tell you , carly , i 'm doing my very best . [ scene_break ] [ monitor beeping ] dante : what 's happening with him ? doctor : he 's bleeding internally . we need to get him back into surgery . your questions will have to wait till tomorrow . [ monitor beeping ] [ scene_break ] hayden : you want clarity ? fine . yes , i was the one . jared : oh , we 've already been over this -- hayden : i was the one who was so upset about you running around on me , i got drunk and made the biggest mistake of my life . jared : i 'd say it 's hardly comp -- hayden : but you were the one who told the cops that you were driving the car . -i did that for you . -are you kidding me ? you did it for the money . you wanted me to owe you , so you took the most horrible thing i 've ever done in my life , and you used it to wrangle a big payout . and part of you thought that i would forgive you in the process . well , it 's too bad now , is n't it ? because right now , i ca n't give you money or mercy . i 'm empty . jared : you always were good at getting your hands on money . why do n't you figure out a way to pay me ? or else dr. fiancé finds out that there 's a girl out there that 's never gon na walk again because of you . [ door slams ] hayden : [ crying ] [ scene_break ] finn : regrettably , curtis , it 's probably my turn to tell you a few things that you probably do n't want to hear . curtis : aw , damn . finn : i know . curtis : turnabout , right ? finn : yeah . curtis : okay , lay it on me , brother . finn : you think there 's any chance that your aunt is using her convalescence to control you a little bit and maybe get back at jordan for whatever it is she did to her ? curtis : the woman is sick . i never thought about motives . finn : just saying , i 've seen patients do this , even subconsciously use their illness to manipulate loved ones . they do n't even know they 're doing it . curtis : i do n't really care what my auntie 's movies are . i 'm with jordan . it makes her sick . finn : uh ... no . no , it does n't . curtis : what do you mean ? i was there . finn : [ chuckles ] uh , listen , last time i checked , i 'm a doctor , one who actually specialized in illnesses that makes people sick . curtis : it 's not my day today . finn : bacteria , viruses , mutant cells , cheese fries -- these are all things that make people sick . curtis : okay , what about stress , emotions , all that kind of stuff ? finn : well , stress can undermine a compromised immune system , but her body was already under siege by something physical . neither you or jordan caused her stroke . curtis : okay , but the events and the relationships that cause the stress , what about that ? finn : well , of course , it does . look , i 'm not talking to you as a doctor right now . i 'm talking to you as a -- a friend . if you want to be with her , do n't let your aunt stand in the way of you being with jordan . [ scene_break ] jordan : for what it 's worth , i 'm so sorry this is happening . carly : thank you . and anything you can do to find sonny will be greatly appreciated . dante . jordan : what 's going on in there ? dante : internal bleeding . they have to open him up to stop it , so there 's nothing we can do till morning . carly : did they say how long the surgery would take ? jordan : why do you ask ? dante : they do n't know , and you 're not waiting around . carly : garvey said he killed sonny . dante : garvey could be lying . like you said , sonny 's smart enough to not let that guy get the jump on him . carly : we have to be sure , dante . dante : you have to go home , carly , be with your family . they need you now . [ scene_break ] sonny : can you take me to morgan ? stone : is that what you want ? sonny : yeah . stone : are you sure ? are you ready to give up ? on the rest of your life , on your other kids ? dante , michael and kristina , and little avery ? she 's not gon na remember morgan . she wo n't remember you , either . you will be just a face in a picture frame . a lot of stories , and not all of them good . there are a lot of people that hate you , sonny , people that will want to tell your daughter the worst about you . sonny : what if avery 's better off without me , safe from the pain that i 've caused my other kids ? stone : if you believe that ... we can go right now . it 's your call . [ scene_break ] carly : josslyn , what are you doing here ? josslyn : i got your text , and i thought you might be here with sonny , so i came over . and then michael told me sonny 's disappeared . i 've just been so mean to you , mom . that was unfair . i 'm sorry . carly : come here . it 's okay . hey , everything 's gon na be okay . everything 's gon na be okay .

[ scene_break ] jordan : hey , dante . did garvey make it through surgery ? dante : yeah , he did . i 'm on my way to question him right now . any word on sonny ? jordan : i just was with the csi team working on garvey 's car for evidence . dante : and ? jordan : no blood , no fingerprints , no sign of sonny . dante : [ sighs ] does n't mean he did n't try to kill sonny .

[ scene_break ] sonny : am i dreaming ? that 's one possibility . i do n't care why it 's happening . i 'm just happy to see you . stone : it 's good to see you , too . sonny : i 've missed you , stone . [ scene_break ] julian : when was sam here ? ava : this morning . she was looking for you . julian : what ? did she say why ? ava : no . no , i do n't have any idea . i can tell you that she did not seem like herself . julian : yeah . that 's because sam is sick . [ sighs ] sam 's in the hospital , ava . she might be dying . ava : oh , my god . what 's wrong with her ? julian : something called toxoplasmosis . ava : what the hell is that ? julian : some kind of an infection . she , uh ... she got it when our sister ... pushed her off that bridge . [ scene_break ] hayden : we have nothing to talk about , jared . jared : mm . hayden : i 'm having a baby , and i 'm marrying the father of my child . jared : and i 'm happy for you . no , no , i really am . kind of feel bad for the good doctor , though . yeah . i know who he is and what he does . you ca n't erase me along with the rest of your past . hayden : everybody knows about my past . jared : do they , hayden barnes ? hayden : i was tired of being rachel berlin . everybody knows that 's my real name , and finally , nobody cares . jared : well , i could think of a few who might , myself included . do n't tell me that you 've forgotten what i did for you and how much you owe me for it . [ scene_break ] curtis : that was wise of you , man , to ask her to marry you . finn : yeah . [ coughs ] yeah , well , no , actually , somehow things got a little turned around , and somehow , she ended up asking me . curtis : well , that was n't wise at all . look , i 'd like to think that i 'm as enlightened as the next guy , but there 's something to be said about tradition . now , beneath hayden 's hardened exterior , she 's really mushy , you know ? she 's a softy , and it 'd have been a good look if you asked her . finn : i was going to . she beat me to the punch , all right , but i 'm gon na make it up to her . curtis : good , 'cause she 's a hell of a woman . finn : you do n't have to tell me . curtis : the first time i met her ... finn : i suspect you 're gon na tell me . curtis : ... that girl was a hot mess . she had issues . some of them self- inflicted , some not so much . now , i will say , no one has worked harder to turn it all around . no one . [ scene_break ] jordan : so , here 's what we know . we think garvey transported spencer in the trunk of his car . dante : just like spencer said . jordan : okay , and the team found strands of hair . now , they need to be tested , but it looks like they may belong to spencer . so , that along with the fact that garvey had spencer 's phone , it should be enough to put him on trial for nabbing spencer . dante : great , good , we 'll get that son of a bitch for something . but nothing on sonny ? jordan : i 'm sorry . i 'm afraid at this juncture , there 's just nothing concrete to connect garvey to your father 's disappearance . i 'm sorry . [ scene_break ] carly : you kidnapped sonny 's nephew . you used a child to lure sonny somewhere , because you wanted to ambush him . but i know sonny . he figured out that it was a trap . hell , you could n't kill him in puerto rico . i know you could n't do it here . garvey : [ breathing heavily ] i did . i killed him . carly : okay , let 's say you got the jump on sonny . so maybe he 's ... hurt or you left him somewhere . let me tell you how it 's gon na go down . sonny 's people , they know you 're here , and they know you 're vulnerable . and if i can get to you , they can , too . and they 're a -- well , they 're a lot more persuasive than i am . they will make you tell them what happened to sonny . and you may not be able to walk when you 're finished , and you may need more surgery . hell , you may just bleed to death , but you will tell them . so why not spare yourself a whole lot of pain and just tell me ? garvey : [ breathing heavily ] [ door opens ] dante : carly ? what the hell you doing ? [ scene_break ] sonny : i been thinking a lot about you over the years ... ... you know , the life you could have had . the way you died was so unfair . stone : i had a great life , sonny , and a lot of that was because of you . sonny : stone , i was n't there to save you . you know that . i should have been . stone : you 're wrong . you did save me . it is not how long you live . it 's what you do with the life you were given . sooner or later , everybody dies . sonny : is that why you 're here ? because i 'm dying ? stone : that 's up to you . [ scene_break ] dante : carly , what are you doing here ? carly : i 'm trying to find out what happened to sonny . dante : go call michael . i need to deal with the suspect . carly : he 's not a suspect , dante . he did it ! dante : call michael . that 's what 's important right now , okay ? carly : yeah , okay . if you ca n't get this bastard to talk , i 'm gon na find someone who can . garvey : [ breathing heavily ] she 's crazy . dante : carly ? yeah , she 's pretty upset . i mean , i ca n't really blame her , you know ? she is married to sonny . so , very emotional , you know , but she 's gone now . it 's just you and me , okay ? garvey : you -- you a cop ? i 'm a cop ? dante : i 'm a detective . also happen to be sonny corinthos ' son . yeah , yeah , so i see you understand how personal this can be . i can put a guard outside that door , or i can deem that completely unnecessary , and carly would be free to send in whoever she wants after you . garvey : are you threatening me ? dante : threatening you ? oh , no , no . i 'm just giving you your options . you cooperate , you stay safe . you do n't cooperate , i do n't know what happens after that . so why do n't you tell me , garvey , what did you do to my father ? [ scene_break ] julian : so you said that , um ... sam did n't seem like herself . how so ? ava : well , she ... she seemed fragile . and she seemed ... feverishly , um , determined . and when i say `` feverish , `` i mean literally . julian : can you remember what she said ? ava : i remember that she seemed to be very angry with sonny . julian : yeah , she 's -- she 's been going on about that . ava : sam made a point of blaming him for this , for the fire . she also gave me sort of a pep talk , and i really could n't tell if she was encouraging me to -- to move on from all that sonny has done to me or encouraging me to destroy him . [ scene_break ] finn : there was a time that hayden and i had more baggage than an airport at christmastime . curtis : hm . i hear you . finn : somehow , hayden was able to unload hers just in time to help me through my addiction . curtis : it 's a process . finn : hey , you were there for a lot of that , and i just want you to know , i 'll always appreciate it . curtis : well , you know , i ai n't going nowhere . but i do have some expert advice to give you . finn : let me stop you there . am i gon na find any of this advice either `` a , `` preachy , or `` b , `` annoying ? curtis : almost certainly . finn : okay , that 's good to know ahead of time . go ahead , lay it on me . curtis : about the aforementioned addiction ... happiness ai n't gon na protect you from a relapse . [ scene_break ] hayden : i 'm sorry if i do n't seem prepared to be having this conversation , but i was n't expecting you to get paroled for another two years . jared : yet here i am , ready to collect my bonus . hayden : every penny i had went to making restitution for what my father did . the feds cleaned me out , jared . jared : yeah , well , that was then . you got a job now , do n't you ? hayden : [ laughs ] you got me . i have a salaried position at the hospital where i make nowhere near the kind of money i promised you . i 'm sorry , jared -- truly , i am -- but i have nothing to give you . [ scene_break ] sonny : you telling me i get to choose whether i live or die ? stone : it wo n't be the first time . sonny : no . stone : you have faced death before . sonny : yeah . stone : you 've been weak and in pain . you could 've let go , but you always chose to stay and fight . sonny : this is different . stone : 'cause i 'm here ? sonny : a few minutes ago , maybe even a few hours ago -- i lost track of time -- i was stuck here in the dark , and i was afraid . but i am not afraid right now , because i 'm with my buddy . and i know that if i go with you , i 'll get to see my son morgan . [ scene_break ] josslyn : what are you guys doing here ? michael : you first . i thought you were grounded . josslyn : well , mom sent me some lame text about how `` something came up , `` and she could n't make it home . michael : well , that 's -- that 's true . josslyn : okay , well , i 'm sure she just wanted to spend the evening with sonny and did n't want to hear what i had to say about it . so where is mom and your good - for - nothing father ? michael : josslyn , um ... the man who wants sonny dead was on the loose . no one has seen or heard from my father since this morning . [ scene_break ] jared : we had a deal , rache . you were gon na pay me enough to get back on my feet and start over the investment business . hayden : i remember the terms . jared : all in exchange for me taking the rap for you . hayden : if i could give you what i promised , i 'd do it this second if only to get you out of my house and out of my life for good . jared : there she is . there 's the rachel berlin i married , all venom and sass . hayden : mm . jared : if memory serves , that rachel berlin , the acerbic spitfire , picked a fight and caused a scene at our country club after drinking who knows how many manhattans . hayden : if memory serves , i had every reason to be upset . jared : yeah , and you never let me forget it . just always criticizing me . i mean , always yipping and yapping about my business practices , my ethics , the deals that i made on the tennis court . what a joke . hayden : i was right about every word i said to you . jared : so that makes what happened next okay ? hayden : of course not . jared : are you sure about that ? let 's -- let 's review , shall we ? hayden : i know what i did , jared . jared : no , no , no , i do n't think you remember . hayden : i remember it perfectly . jared : okay , so let 's see . now , now , who was the one that got behind the wheel of her pretty red porsche and floored it , blind drunk , down dark roads ? was that -- was that me or -- hayden : it was me . jared : oh , oh , so i was n't the one who was driving like a maniac , serving this way and that , whose headlights were illuminating the colorful autumn leaves . hayden : i told you . jared : yeah , ah , so i was n't the one who was too out of control to see that girl walking her dog on the side of the road . and it was n't me who hit her so hard that she went flying through the air and crashed against that tree . that was n't me . hayden : it was me , okay ! i did it ! i hurt that little girl ! will you please just shut up ? ! [ sobs ] jared : thank you for admitting what you did . hayden : why , are you wearing a wire ? jared : [ chuckles ] you know , i wish i 'd thought of that . aw , rache , you always were smarter than me . hayden : why the hell did you -- jared : but no . hayden : why the hell did you just put me through that ? jared : to solidify my position in this negotiation . you did the crime , but i did the time , so do n't you dare tell me that it was all for nothing . [ scene_break ] curtis : addiction is complex . you can never let your guard down , you know ? you got ta stay in control of those cravings and go to meetings . finn : i been doing all that . curtis : good . because then the need to use will fade , and it will sound less like a scream and feel more like an echo . sometimes that echo is far away . sometimes it 's up close . finn : yeah , it 's getting really close . curtis : but either way , it 's always there . finn : you still think that ? you hear the echoes ? curtis : from time to time , man , i think we all do . but the important thing is that we fought it once , we can fight it again . but , uh , as for now , yeah . i , uh , got mine under control . finn : for now ? what ... what 's going on ? curtis : man , while hayden 's been able to push her past off a cliff so successfully , jordan and i , we , uh ... we have n't been so successful with that .. finn : what happened ? curtis : my aunt stella is what happened . she moved to port charles , and she unearthed all this history between jordan and me , and it ripped us clean apart . [ scene_break ] carly : just got off the phone with michael . he confirmed that no one has seen sonny , not one of his associates . jordan : i have every available resource at the pcpd looking for sonny , okay ? now , we have n't been able to locate his car or where he might have met garvey , but i am telling you , i am working so hard until i find out . carly : since when did you become so diligent on sonny 's behalf ? you 've been trying to put him in jail since you came to town . jordan : carly -- carly : so if he winds up dead , you can cross your big search for him off your to - do list . [ scene_break ] dante : you come clean about what you did to sonny , and i 'll see about getting you a reduced sentence . garvey : no , no prison . dante : no prison ? no prison ? what do you mean ? yes , prison . yes . you broke parole . you bribed u.s . marshals . you took a child . you took a child from a park , and you kept him as your prisoner alone overnight . garvey : i do n't know what you 're talking -- dante : i do n't think you understand . we have enough dna evidence to secure a conviction , okay ? what i 'm saying is , i can maybe send you to a nicer prison , or i can make sure you do n't go to that prison for the rest of your life if you talk to me , okay ? so i 'm gon na ask you one more time . one more time , garvey . you tell me . you tell me what you did to my father . garvey : [ breathing heavily ] i -- [ monitor beeping ] [ scene_break ] sonny : you know about my boy ? stone : tell me about him , anyway . sonny : morgan stone corinthos . named after my two best friends , you and jason . stone : i 'm honored . sonny : he was a sweet little boy . he loved baseball and penguins . and [ sighs ] he 's the only boy in the world that ate his broccoli . [ laughs ] but as he got -- as he got older , he started getting reckless and impulsive and volatile . not that he was a mean kid , 'cause he had a generous heart , but for a long time , i did n't see what was right in front of me . i did n't recognize what i had passed to him . carly was the first to face it . he was -- he was bipolar , like i am . he had that darkness , and , you know , the high highs and the lows that were crushing . and i thought the bipolar was gon na destroy my boy , but he was so strong . he just fought his demons , and he won . but he died . for no good reason . and i guess i been -- i been trying to figure out how to live in a world without him . maybe i just found out . [ scene_break ] josslyn : [ sighs ] oh , my god . nelle : it 's okay , joss . josslyn : no . no . all i 've been doing is bad - mouthing sonny up and down to mom . like -- i thought -- i mean , since the way he 's lived his life , you know , he deserves whatever 's coming to him . i 'm sorry , michael . i 'm so , so sorry . michael : oh , hey , it 's okay . look , sonny understands why you 're mad at him , and he 'd be the first one to forgive you . [ scene_break ] jordan : carly , i understand why you think i have a bias towards sonny . carly : yeah , 'cause you view him as a criminal . jordan : no , because sonny is a citizen of this town , and it is my responsibility to protect and serve him , regardless of what i think about his business practices . and that 's not even why i have people working double shifts . carly : then why ? why would you spare even one of your men to save my husband ? jordan : because of my son . sonny was a friend to him when he really needed somebody by his side , so that makes this search personal to me . trust me when i tell you , carly , i 'm doing my very best . [ scene_break ] [ monitor beeping ] dante : what 's happening with him ? doctor : he 's bleeding internally . we need to get him back into surgery . your questions will have to wait till tomorrow . [ monitor beeping ] [ scene_break ] hayden : you want clarity ? fine . yes , i was the one . jared : oh , we 've already been over this -- hayden : i was the one who was so upset about you running around on me , i got drunk and made the biggest mistake of my life . jared : i 'd say it 's hardly comp -- hayden : but you were the one who told the cops that you were driving the car . -i did that for you . -are you kidding me ? you did it for the money . you wanted me to owe you , so you took the most horrible thing i 've ever done in my life , and you used it to wrangle a big payout . and part of you thought that i would forgive you in the process . well , it 's too bad now , is n't it ? because right now , i ca n't give you money or mercy . i 'm empty . jared : you always were good at getting your hands on money . why do n't you figure out a way to pay me ? or else dr. fiancé finds out that there 's a girl out there that 's never gon na walk again because of you . [ door slams ] hayden : [ crying ] [ scene_break ] finn : regrettably , curtis , it 's probably my turn to tell you a few things that you probably do n't want to hear . curtis : aw , damn . finn : i know . curtis : turnabout , right ? finn : yeah . curtis : okay , lay it on me , brother . finn : you think there 's any chance that your aunt is using her convalescence to control you a little bit and maybe get back at jordan for whatever it is she did to her ? curtis : the woman is sick . i never thought about motives . finn : just saying , i 've seen patients do this , even subconsciously use their illness to manipulate loved ones . they do n't even know they 're doing it . curtis : i do n't really care what my auntie 's movies are . i 'm with jordan . it makes her sick . finn : uh ... no . no , it does n't . curtis : what do you mean ? i was there . finn : [ chuckles ] uh , listen , last time i checked , i 'm a doctor , one who actually specialized in illnesses that makes people sick . curtis : it 's not my day today . finn : bacteria , viruses , mutant cells , cheese fries -- these are all things that make people sick . curtis : okay , what about stress , emotions , all that kind of stuff ? finn : well , stress can undermine a compromised immune system , but her body was already under siege by something physical . neither you or jordan caused her stroke . curtis : okay , but the events and the relationships that cause the stress , what about that ? finn : well , of course , it does . look , i 'm not talking to you as a doctor right now . i 'm talking to you as a -- a friend . if you want to be with her , do n't let your aunt stand in the way of you being with jordan . [ scene_break ] jordan : for what it 's worth , i 'm so sorry this is happening . carly : thank you . and anything you can do to find sonny will be greatly appreciated . dante . jordan : what 's going on in there ? dante : internal bleeding . they have to open him up to stop it , so there 's nothing we can do till morning . carly : did they say how long the surgery would take ? jordan : why do you ask ? dante : they do n't know , and you 're not waiting around . carly : garvey said he killed sonny . dante : garvey could be lying . like you said , sonny 's smart enough to not let that guy get the jump on him . carly : we have to be sure , dante . dante : you have to go home , carly , be with your family . they need you now . [ scene_break ] sonny : can you take me to morgan ? stone : is that what you want ? sonny : yeah . stone : are you sure ? are you ready to give up ? on the rest of your life , on your other kids ? dante , michael and kristina , and little avery ? she 's not gon na remember morgan . she wo n't remember you , either . you will be just a face in a picture frame . a lot of stories , and not all of them good . there are a lot of people that hate you , sonny , people that will want to tell your daughter the worst about you . sonny : what if avery 's better off without me , safe from the pain that i 've caused my other kids ? stone : if you believe that ... we can go right now . it 's your call . [ scene_break ] carly : josslyn , what are you doing here ? josslyn : i got your text , and i thought you might be here with sonny , so i came over . and then michael told me sonny 's disappeared . i 've just been so mean to you , mom . that was unfair . i 'm sorry . carly : come here . it 's okay . hey , everything 's gon na be okay . everything 's gon na be okay . [ scene_break ] finn : hi , honey , i 'm home . you know , i really like the sound of that . oh , and , you know , i ran into curtis over at the floating rib . talked about his aunt and jordan , you know ? i hope i 'm not becoming one of those people that wants everyone else to be happy 'cause they 're happy , 'cause that -- enough . hayden : finn . finn : yeah ? hayden : we should talk . finn : may i do something first ? it 's kind of a do - over of an earlier conversation , and -- it 's not complete , because i do n't really have the prop i need . all the jewelry stores are closed , but you know , if you 'll -- if you 'll indulge me . hayden , you 're all i ever wanted . you 've forgiven me for my mistakes , and i forgive you for yours . and you are beautiful , and you are strong , and you are kind . and you make me laugh , and you love roxy , and i love you . hayden , will you marry me ? [ scene_break ] jordan : that 's garvey 's car leaving the gas station where madison highway and fox roads meet . check the time stamp . dante : that 's the same time sonny left his house . jordan : exactly . dante : so garvey was heading north toward the waterfront . there 's miles and miles between there and the river . jordan : at least we 've narrowed down the search , and i 've already sent over a fleet of units out there . dante : okay , great , i 'll go join . jordan : no , listen to me . you 're gon na go home . you 're gon na get some rest . dante : commissioner , he 's my father . jordan : i know , and i also know that you also ordered detective west to go home earlier today . dante : yeah , i did . jordan : okay , so now it 's your turn . you 're not gon na be any help to me or your father if you 're out here falling all over the place . dante : commissioner , i appreciate the concern , but i 'm not gon na stop .

[ scene_break ] kay : their offer is less than what jack was willing to pay , yet their offer is closer to jabot 's actual worth . jack 's bid was inflated by his obsession to get back what he thinks is his personal playground . michael : jack 's offer also came with the promise of a lawsuit that would probably cost more than he was offering . kay : i agree . this offer is much cleaner .

[ chuckles ] ridge : do n't let me stop you . caroline : i 'm stopping you . i 'm stopping you ! you have to go back to the office . ridge : i 'm right where i want to be . steffy : liam , i 'm sorry to put you on the spot . that 's -- that 's not even how it happened . ivy : well , it 's a very simple question . steffy thinks you 're still in love with her , so do you want to set her straight ? nicole : so , you 're not leaving town . maya : i take it you spoke to carter . nicole : yeah . he told me you were splitting . maya : well , obviously , i 'm not . any other questions ? nicole : you 're in a pretty good mood . maya : that 's not a question . nicole : oh , okay . well , why are you in a pretty good mood ? you talked to rick , did n't you ? rick : if you ally with me and my dad , we control 50 % of the company . bill : and you stay on as c.e.o . rick : well , it takes a majority to get rid of me . bill : which ridge has now . rick : with your stock , yes . but if you side with me -- bill : you get to keep your post , and i get to choose the president . wow . you must despise me less than you despise your own brother . rick : [ chuckles ] not much , but yeah . so , who 's giving you the bigger , better deal ? us or your , uh , buddy ridge ? caroline : you 're awfully quiet . am i losing you ? ridge : hmm ? no . no way . no . caroline : wow . can lie , too . ridge : [ chuckles ] caroline : you 're thinking about work . ridge : a little . caroline : and another lie . it 's all right . i forgive you . you 've only been waiting for this your whole , entire life . so , that 's okay . ridge : it 's big . one formal vote , and rick is out and i 'm in . caroline : with steffy as president and liam as v.p . i wonder how ivy will feel about that . liam : oh , my god , guys ! steffy : this -- this is just getting ridiculous . ivy , liam obviously has lots of love for you . i simply said that i will always love liam . we shared a lot . i 'm not afraid to express my feelings . ivy : just because you 're not demanding he love you in return for your stock , you 're still convinced , somehow , that there 's gon na be more than just business between you two . steffy : honey , i live in the present . what happens in the future is anyone 's guess . ivy : well , that 's -- that 's great for you , but when it comes to our relationship , there is no guessing game . bill : it is tempting . rick : it 's a no - brainer to me . bill : yeah , well , if i do this , i 'm gon na have more influence at forrester . i will be more active . rick : that wo n't be a problem . the bottom line is i 'm all about business . i 'm about making money , period . bill : right . and you would do whatever necessary in that pursuit , would n't you ? rick : everything legal . bill : like say , for example , publishing information that was both truthful and provocative , would create viral interest , sell a ton of magazines . rick : i think it 's best we stay on topic . no need to be nasty . bill : well , you know , at least the good news is she 's out of your life , and down the road , i 'm sure we 'll have a good chuckle over this . rick : yeah , not likely . she 's still in my life . bill : really ? rick : i 'm still in love with her , bill . maya : so , rick dressed up like a waiter , just like when we first met . nicole : aww . that 's so sweet . and you 're not mad that i told him where you were ? maya : no . after hearing his side of the story , i get why you did . thanks . nicole : so , you guys worked things out ? maya : i would n't go that far . nicole : but it was all just a big misunderstanding . maya : i know . he told me about the accident . i - i ca n't believe that that 's the reason he did n't answer when i asked if he still wanted to marry me . nicole : yeah , so what 's the problem ? maya : it 's complicated . nicole : complicated ? maya , life is complicated . love uncomplicates it . maya : that 's a little naive , nicole . i 'm transgender , and i think that i should have told rick earlier . but i did n't , and so he 's parading me around town , online , in the trades , and i just -- i just felt like it was too late to tell him . and so i convinced myself to wait until he proposed . nicole : but then i told wyatt and wyatt told his dad and pretty soon , the whole world knew . maya : yeah . everyone but rick . nicole : you 're right . i am naive to have trusted wyatt . and i am so sorry . i do n't know what i was thinking . maya : i think we both have trust issues . you trust everyone , and i do n't trust anyone ... even the man i love . ridge : all right . i got water for you , food . here 's a phone . whoa ! caroline : [ laughs ] ridge : take it easy . caroline : i 'm getting really good with this thing . [ laughs ] ridge : i missed you . caroline : i could n't wait to get back home . ridge : why did n't you tell me ? caroline : 'cause there was nothing you could have done , and i knew that you 'd -- you were busy . ridge : tell me now . caroline : i do n't know . you know , you 're just -- one minute , you 're walking on the sidewalk , and ... i do n't know . the next minute , there 's a car on top of you . kind of just changes -- you know , changes your perspective pretty quickly . ridge : i imagine it would . caroline : and at first , um ... i victimized myself . you know , i kept thinking , like ... like , `` why me ? why did this happen to me ? what -- what did i do to deserve it ? `` and then i just , um ... then , like , a bell went off in my head , and i was just kind of like , `` everything happens for a reason , `` and it was n't particularly something that i believed in before , but now i do . i also believe that it allowed me to feel all the love that was surrounding me , you know , especially yours . liam : well , to answer your question -- steffy : oh , this is n't high school , liam . you have a girlfriend . big deal . we have a job to do . ivy : uh , yeah , that i apparently will have to remind you of from time to time . eric : liam , steffy . ivy , these two have been filling you in on the proposed changes around here ? ridge 's proposed hostile takeover of the company ? we can talk about it openly . i was just on the phone with him , and he wants to meet with us . liam : uh , yeah , well , i - i 'm sure he wants to call for the vote and make it official . eric : i would n't get too far ahead of myself on that . rick : maya really is n't the issue . bill : i would sure as hell hope not . rick : i need an answer , bill . who are you siding with ? me or ridge ? i mean , you 're a business man . who would you rather prefer , a marginalized position under ridge or a position of , uh , authority and influence ? i mean , come on . who 's giving you more power ? liam : uh , uh , mr. forrester , we recognize that this is difficult for you . steffy : but it should n't be . dad 's more than capable of running this company . eric : it 's the way he 's going about it , steffy . steffy : yes , and -- and that is unfortunate . liam : it is unfortunate , and it 's not the way that ridge would have -- eric : it 's wrong . it 's wrong . steffy : with all due respect , granddad , rick wrote the book on wrong -- the way he 's treated people , manipulated them , put them in danger . and let 's not forget taking down grandma 's portrait off the living room wall . i 'm sorry . and i know he 's your son , and i know you want to believe in him , but how can you approve some of the things he 's done ? eric : i do n't . and he knows that . and he 's learned it . now it 's all about the issue of the stock , who has what , who controls what . we 'll settle all this very soon . [ cell phones beeping ] eric : ridge is on his way in . this will all be settled by the end of the day . maya : i still have n't forgiven myself . nicole : for what ? maya : nicole , look at what i did . rick was at the top of his game , the company was thriving , the whole world was praising him , and now he 's a laughingstock . he 's the man who fell in love with the woman who did n't tell him she was transgender . nicole : that should n't be an issue . maya : no , of course it should n't , but it is . it 's the reality , and rick is paying the price . if only i had told him from the beginning . nicole : you said so yourself . there is no timeline for when to disclose . what difference would it have made ? nicole : he would have had a choice . nicole : what choice ? maya : whether or not to get involved with me . nicole : maya , he has that same choice . and he still wants you . he 's always wanted you . the way that the world is reacting does n't matter to him because he loves you . bill : have you really thought this through ? rick : i 'm doing what 's best for the company . um , for your company . bill : yeah , do n't oversell . rick : [ chuckles ] bill : yeah , you did a pretty good job ... up until maya came along . rick : actually , she 's a major part of my success story . bill : you have no idea what you 're up against . rick : oh , i 'm well aware of it , thanks to you . bill : yeah , it is thanks to me . i did you a favor publishing that information . now it 's out in the public , where it should be . can you imagine the flack you would have gotten if you had gotten married and then this all came out ? rick : come on . we 're wasting time . what 's it gon na be ? you in or out ? bill : [ chuckles ] oh , i 'm in either way . i either throw my lot in with your idiot brother or his idiot brother . [ cell phone rings ] rick : it 's ridge . what ? ridge : hey , ricky . show time . i 'm calling a meeting . rick : when ? ridge : i 'm leaving for the office now . i suggest you do the same . [ beeps ] rick : ridge is making his move . but you need to make a choice . is it gon na be me or ridge ? bill : eeny , meeny , miny , moe . you know the rest , right ? nicole : you both have come so far , and you 've moved past all of that . you 're beautiful together . maya : oh , god . i just want him so badly . and every moment that we 're away from each other gets worse . i 've gone online , and i see what everyone 's saying . nicole : no , wait . stay away from the internet , maya . maya : i ca n't help it . it 's my only connection to rick . and i see the pictures of us together . i just -- i would give anything to have another chance . nicole : you do have another chance . maya : no . i mean a chance to relive the past and tell him sooner , protect him from everything he 's going through right now . nicole : he is stronger than you think . all of this nasty publicity -- he can handle it . maya : it 's more than that . he 's fighting for his company . nicole : what ? maya : ridge is trying to take control . nicole : how ? maya : i do n't know . some kind of hostile takeover . i told rick to fight him with everything he 's got . eric : rick , you -- you saw bill ? rick : i was right . bill still has control of his shares of forrester . and he can do what he wants . eric : and ... ? rick : and i made my pitch , but it was n't easy . that bastard likes to watch me squirm . eric : so , what 's the bottom line ? is he with us or -- rick : i do n't know , dad . eric : [ sighs ] look , rick , you know there 's absolutely nothing i can do if ridge retains controlling interest . all right . ridge : okay . let 's wrap this up . carter drew up the papers , and i would like to do this with the least amount of fanfare . eric : we 're doing nothing , ridge . ridge : i hope we can work through this . no matter how ashamed you are of me , you 're still my father and i 'm still your son . eric : and he 's still your brother . ridge : and who knows ? maybe all this will help us . rick : i 'm sure that 's one of your highest priorities . ridge : you had your moment in the spotlight , rick . now it 's my turn . liam , tell him what the numbers are . liam : okay . eric : we know all that . we 've been over all that . ridge : he 's been working on this for months . just give him a break . rick : really ? liam : uh , it did n't happen overnight . it took some ... negotiating . but the , uh , bottom line is that steffy 's , ridge 's , and thomas ' shares , along with my father 's , which i control , give us majority interest in the company . steffy , you 're up . steffy : dad will be the new c.e.o . he 's appointing me president and liam vice president . rick : how disgustingly cozy . ridge : and we 'll have a job for you , depending on your attitude . let 's sign some papers . liam : dad . what are you doing here ? bill : you want to tell him , rick ? ridge : tell him what ? bill : your brother paid me a visit earlier . we had a nice chat . and he made me a very interesting offer . ridge : what offer ? rick : turns out that you 've been misinformed , ridge . you see , liam -- he does n't have control of his -- of his father 's stock . i went ahead and made bill the offer to choose the next president for forrester . we 'll have 50 % of the shares and putting a stop to this , uh , well , clever little maneuver of yours , ridge . bill : brooke . son of a brooke . he 's brooke 's son . get it ? it 's funny . oh , come on . where 's everybody 's senses of humor ? you see , the world needs more levity and less rudeness and nastiness , ridge . see , i still have a decision to make . do i throw in with my boys , rick and eric , who extended a olive branch and made me a very attractive proposal , or , conversely , do i throw in with you , ridge , who does n't talk to me and , quite frankly , hurts my feelings . it 's crazy , is n't it ? i mean , it all comes down to little ol ' dollar bill and his measly 12.5 % . i hold in my well - jeweled hands the very future of forrester creations .Summarize.[/INST]bill knows that rick is desperate . his 12.5 percent of stock can keep rick in the driver 's seat . rick thinks it is a no brainer as bill would get to pick the president . rick guesses that bill despises him less than rick does his own brother . bill is tempted and says this will go down easier now that maya is out of rick 's life . rick has to tell him that he is still in her love with her and technically she is not out of his life . rick continues to ride bill of which side he is on . ridge rubs caroline 's shoulders and they share some fun time . she knows he has a lot on his mind and wants him to get to work . she knows ridge has been waiting for this a long time and all it will take is one formal vote and ridge is in and rick is out . liam looks scared when ivy asks him to explain why steffy thinks he is still in love with her . steffy says that is not how it happened . she simply said that she loved liam and always would but that he had lots of love for ivy . she does not know what will happen in future . ivy says neither does she but there is no guessing game in their relationship now .</s> | 427 |

[ scene_break ] david : as soon as i 'm strong enough , i 'll take you to a private clinic . greenlee : the same place as before ? david : no . but it has all the same equipment . greenlee : where ? david : you do n't have to worry about that . you 'll be comfortable there . i 'll give you back your life , again , and you 'll live for a very long time . i promise . greenlee : this is n't just about a cure to you , is it ? david : what else could it possibly be about ? greenlee : you getting me alone . david : now , that sounds like ryan talking . only he 's not the one with the health issue , is he ? perhaps you 'd be better off listening to someone who 's already been where you 've been , someone who knows exactly what you 're going through . greenlee : and who would that be , david ? there was someone else in that room with me , was n't there ? my symptoms have kept me up at night . but when i finally do fall asleep , i almost always dream -- at least , i think it 's a dream . david : what are they about ? greenlee : i 'm in the room where you treated me , but i 'm not alone . david : of course , you were n't . i was right there by your side . greenlee : no , it 's not you that i see . david : ok . then it was nurse gayle ? greenlee : no , no , it 's not her . it 's blurry . it 's just someone on a gurney . you have to tell me , david . was i the only one there , or was there another patient ? [ scene_break ] griffin : stem cells are unique in that they have the ability to divide and differentiate into any type of tissue . early work focused on blood diseases . ryan : leukemia . i 've read some of that research . griffin : right . and there has been promise in the area of spinal cord injuries . ryan : like with greenlee ? griffin : right . but david has taken it even further . when the heart stops , heart and organ tissue die . if the damage is extensive enough , then resuscitation becomes impossible . ryan : so what you 're talking about is bringing people back from the dead . griffin : i know this sounds like science fiction , but the potential has always been there . it just took someone like david hayward to make that happen . ryan : no wonder the guy thinks he 's god . so essentially what you 're saying is all the people that we think are dead could still be alive ? griffin : that 's why i could n't confide in kendall . ryan : you think one of the people hayward saved might be zach .

[ scene_break ] kelly : i ca n't let myself believe that joey is jealous . that would mean i still have a chance with him . dorian : the power of positive thinking . try it . kelly : it 's hard to be positive about joey planning a wedding to someone else , or that he stood up to his father for her . and after that big stunt that aubrey pulled at the church , he 's even more gaga over her . dorian : because she got clint to back down . kelly : i think she 's -- i do n't know -- i think she has something on him . dorian : so you mentioned . kelly : okay , stop doing that . stop doing that . every time i mention clint , you 're shutting down . what do you know ?

[ dixie chuckles ] tad : it 's the truth . all the lies , snide comments , the finger pointing -- i did it , because i was trying to protect you -- dixie : you know -- tad : not hurt you . dixie : it 's official -- you lost your damn mind . tad : maybe , unless everything worked out the way it was supposed to -- thank god . and the only reason you were n't convicted , the only reason you walked out of that courtroom , was because i got you acquitted . dixie : you know , i -- i think i 'm just going to get out of here , because i think you 're crazy . tad : madden 's blood was in the trunk of your car . zach 's fingerprint was on the lid of his coffin . they even had a deathbed accusation . i do n't care how innocent you were . i do n't care how brilliant livia is . i do n't care how scandalous your alibi with zach was . you stood a better - than - even chance of being convicted for premeditated murder , and that was too big a risk . i could n't stand by and let the odds -- dixie : you expect me to believe that your screaming to anybody that would listen that i did it was your way of achieving my salvation ? i do n't -- what , you want me to thank you ? is that what you want ? my life would be over if my lawyer had n't proved that you were lying on the stand . tad : exactly . derek and summerhill were convinced they had a solid - gold witness , somebody who was reliable albeit reluctant , somebody the jury could believe in no matter how much it killed me to testify , maybe because it did kill me to testify . the best lie is always the one that 's wrapped in the truth . i did n't have to manufacture my anger at you for what you had done . i did n't have to come up with any resentment . it was all right there . all i had to do was use it to sell a lie -- that i saw you and zach with madden 's body the night he disappeared . and i knew that derek was going to eat it up . i knew the state was going to jump on it . i mean , it was -- it was so easy . they had a murder , a guy that was buried alive . they were n't going to go for a win on forensics . they needed a slam - dunk conviction , and they were going to get it -- unless their star witness turned out to be a vindictive liar on the stand . after that , you ca n't exactly argue against reasonable doubt . dixie : so this was all some sort of strategy ? to keep me and zach out of prison ? tad : and it worked . thank god it worked . i knew that if i could keep the jury 's eyes on me , we stood a chance . i just had to be more compelling than all that dry forensic evidence . dixie : so everything that you have been doing , saying -- tad : i did for you . i did it , because i wanted to keep you out of prison . i 'm sorry , dixie . i know it hurt , but it was the best i could come up with . i knew i did n't have any guarantees . all i could do was run around town ranting and raving and pray that everything fell into place , that derek would go for it , that he would n't see the truth of what i was doing , that -- that livia would run for it -- dixie : livia was in on it ? tad : no , no , no , no , no , no . god , no . she never had a clue , but she 's a damn good attorney . i knew that if i showed up in court with the possibility of a lie , that she would run with it . she would destroy any credibility that i had with the jury . you got to admit , she did a great job , better than i even hoped for . dixie : zach brought me here . he told me to listen to you . did he know about this ? what are you saying ? are you saying that he was in on this ? tad : yep , and the fight that we staged in here to keep derek fooled . somehow , i do n't think zach was too put out by it . dixie : i do n't -- just , no -- that does n't make any sense , you and zach working together . tad : working together -- i know . i would n't go fitting us for friendship rings just yet . you do n't have to like somebody to respect them . god knows i ca n't stand that man . dixie : because you think we 're having an affair ? tad : no . i 've known your alibi was a sham from the get - go . as much as you wish it were true , zach would never cheat on kendall . [ scene_break ] zach : i 'm not perfect . no surprise there -- i knew that . there is something that you need to know . i still love you like crazy , and i want to spend the rest of my life with you and spike . kendall : but if you 're capable of killing a man -- zach : tad did n't see dixie and me with madden 's body . he 's making it up . kendall : just because tad lied does n't mean that you 're innocent . you could still be a murderer . [ scene_break ] josh : zach and dixie killed greg -- that 's what the cops told me . and the da promised me justice , so i sat through that trial as a final favor to the man who gave me life and raised me and now , it 's all just shot to hell . babe : so that 's it ? they just give up ? josh : hey , i 'm stuck with this nightmare . you know , i was so ready to move on , put this mess behind me . and now , i do n't know what i 'm going to do . i have no idea what comes next . babe : i wish i had an answer for you . josh : you 're not talking about the investigation . you 're talking about us . [ scene_break ] dixie : but did you have to keep me in the dark ? did you have to let our boys think that i 'm a murdering home - wrecker and that you 're some sort of bitter , vindictive son of a bitch ? tad : yes . absolutely . if the alternative was letting you in on the plan , it was a stone - cold necessity , because god knows you could n't fool anybody . dixie : oh . tad : not zach , not livia , not derek , not kendall , not a judge , not a jury . you 're good at a lot of things , dixie -- very good -- but lying is n't one of them unless you 're lying to me .

[ scene_break ] dixie : hang on a second . just wait a minute . there is no way that you have done this all on your own . in order to be exposed as a liar in court , you had to have had help . tad : yep . you think it was a coincidence that jamie showed up with that videotape ? dixie : jamie ? tad : dixie , it killed me to include him . i did n't see any other way . i needed somebody . i needed somebody that did n't have an ax to grind , somebody the jury would n't think would turn on me . who better than my own son ? and you know something ? in a perverse way , i 'm proud of him . he really pulled it off . it sure as hell could n't have been easy for him to stand in front of all those people and call his father a liar . dixie : yeah , i was pretty convinced he 'd turned against you . tad : yeah , he played it just right . we owe him a lot . if it were n't for jamie and aidan , you would n't be standing right here . dixie : aidan ? tad : mm - hmm . i do n't know how he did it , i do n't think i 'm supposed to ask , but somehow he was able to call in a marker with this guy kagan at the airport . dixie : the security guy 's testimony was all lies ? tad : uh - uh , not all of it . i was locked in that office overnight , but it did n't happen by accident . it sure as hell was n't june 5 . it was last week . all kagan did was alter the time stamp -- that 's what everybody looked at , or at least the jury . dixie : oh . tad : you 're angry . dixie : no , i -- i do n't know how -- i feel like -- i feel like a fool ! tad : i can relate . how do you think i felt when i found out you let me believe you were dead all those years ?

[ scene_break ] dixie : god , tad . if you hate me so much , why not just let me go to prison ? tad : i could n't let you take the fall . dixie : why ? what is going on ? tad : i could n't let you be convicted for a crime that you did n't commit . i knew you were innocent . i knew it from the start . you did n't do it . i did . i killed greg madden . dixie : you killed madden ? tad , it 's impossible . tad : why ? the whole town was looking for him . i just happened to be the lucky person who found him . dixie : no -- no . tad : i found him on his jet . he was prepping for takeoff . he had erica with him . she was unconscious . he must have drugged her somehow . he had her strapped to a sofa . he was this close to taking off to god only knows where . dixie : tad -- tad : i knew -- dixie : you 're not a killer . tad : i had to act fast . because as soon as that plane lifted off , he was going to disappear all over again with erica and every hope we would ever have of seeing kate . i did n't have time to think about it . i just grabbed the nearest thing i could and smashed him in the head with it . he dropped like a ton of bricks . and then for a minute , i stood there , just looking down at him , thinking about all the things that he 'd done , all the things he 'd gotten away with . people he 'd hurt . people i care about . and something came over me that was so ugly . so -- evil . scares the hell out of me just to think about it , even now . i was going to get an answer . if it had n't been for his connection to kate , i 'd have finished it right then . i 'd have happily torn him to shreds with my bare hands . [ scene_break ] josh : you know , when j.r. came up here -- found you standing there naked in that pool , you know why i did n't show myself ? do you know why i did n't flaunt what we had done in that smug face of his ? babe : you were trying to protect me . josh : i was trying to protect me . because i knew if i blew your cover to him that night , i would have lost you forever . babe : good call . josh : you still have n't said it . babe : i love my husband . and i really want to make it work with him . josh : and i love you . i want a life with you , babe . but until you tell me that definitely it 's over -- babe : you need to move on with your life , josh . josh : i 'm not going to be the one to walk away , babe . if you really want this to end , you 're going to have to be the one to do it . [ scene_break ] tad : i had to make a decision quickly . i knew i could n't kill madden , and i knew i could n't let him go . i just had to come up with a way to make him tell us where our daughter was . the only thing that made sense in that moment was to get him off that plane , so i carried him to the cargo storage area and went back for erica . you must have been there that night . dixie : yeah . well , we were . we were all over the airport . tad : that 's how zach 's fingerprint got on the lid of the crate . the same crate i put madden into , with erica . put it on a dolly and wheeled them out of the airport . after all , i could n't exactly leave the building with a couple of bodies , so i took them to the parking lot that was furthest away from the terminal . could n't use my own car , so i had to steal one . decided that the first unlocked car i found was the lucky winner . put erica in the front seat and madden in the trunk and tried to hot - wire the damn thing . been a long time since i had to hot - wire a car . things have obviously gotten more sophisticated since -- dixie : tad , by any chance , was that car the one that i had been renting ? tad : ai n't that a kick in the head ? dixie : so that 's how madden 's blood got in the trunk of my car . tad : oh -- dixie , i swear , i -- i swear to you , i had no idea . i was just so determined to get the hell out of there , i was so scared , you know ? to this day , i do n't even think i could tell you what the car looked like . and i kept thinking about kate , where she was , if she was lost -- imagining her in all these awful , awful situations . i knew whatever i was going to do with madden , it had to be in a place that was quiet , someplace empty . that 's why i thought of the park . it 's a hell of a thing . it was n't until i was there that i realized -- the exact same park ray gardner dropped me off at when i was 6 years old . hell of a thing . exact same spot my father left me with a broken arm . and here i was , all over again . had n't thought about it for years . and yet , there i was with another monster . a complete psychopath determined to take away everything i had , everything i was going to have . only this time -- you know , this time was different . this time , i could fight back . so i decided my friend the doctor was -- would n't go anywhere . the city was digging trenches all over the park . i guess they were putting in some kind of new drainage system , and -- all i had to do was choose one , you know ? so i just drove to a convenience store , picked up some food , some water , and i stripped a stereo out of the dashboard , rewired the receiver , tore a speaker out of the door . stopped by a construction site . you know , i had to get a length of pipe . something i could use as an air hose . and then after that , it was -- it was so easy . i just went back to the park , and one , two , three . and i set up the box . put him in it . and i buried the bastard . after that , it was just a question of rearranging a few flowers . leaving erica on a park bench covered with some newspapers . i knew she was going to wake up eventually on her own . so i drove home . parked the van a few blocks away , and walked in . set myself up a voice filter right over there . recorded a few choice messages for the good doctor , encouraging him to spill his guts , and then waited . waited for that pile of crap to wake up . [ scene_break ] zach : madden was gone . dixie and i searched for him all night , but no luck . i had a feeling he was still in pine valley . so i sent my men after him , to listen for him . they had scanning devices . maybe they could find his cell phone . then i would know when he was ready to leave . all night , could n't find anything . then one of my men struck gold . found a frequency , but it was n't a cell phone , it was something else . i listened in . and it turned out madden had been kidnapped by somebody who needed information about kate . so now , i had a pipeline to everything . and i recorded it . kendall : did you know that greg was buried alive ? zach : yeah , i figured it out . kendall : and you did n't do anything about it ? zach : we needed to find information about kate . unfortunately , the good doctor died before he could give it up . anyway , you asked me how i made a recording . that 's it . that 's how . kendall : you knew that he was being tortured . and you did n't try to -- to help him , or find him ? dig him up , save him ? zach : no . kendall : why ? zach : because i did n't care . madden stole children from their mothers . he denied fathers the right to raise their son or their daughter , and no one has the right to do that , no one . kendall : including your father . zach : huh . kendall : this is about ethan . zach : yeah , you 're damn right it is . my father was no better than that lunatic . my father robbed my son from me . i did n't know ethan existed until it was too late . he took my son from me the same way that madden took hundreds and hundreds of children from their parents ! kendall : so you just sat back and did nothing while he died ? zach : yeah . and i 'm sorry . i 'm sorry it was n't me that buried him . i 'm sorry it was n't me that tortured him until he squealed for mercy , begging to tell me where kate is . and i 'm so sorry that it was n't me that put him in that box and left him there to die . [ scene_break ] tad : i swear to you , i never meant to kill anybody . all i wanted to do was break him . and i was so close . god , i was so close . he was going to talk , i know he was . well , you know the rest . for a while , i thought about confessing or running away . and then i decided that the jerk had already taken so much away from me , i did n't want him to take anything else , so i just decided not to do anything . you know . did n't do a thing . until you got arrested . then things started to get interesting . [ tad sighs ] tad : i panicked . i did n't know what to do , except maybe let you take the rap . i would never do that to you . i 'd never ask you to pay for something that i had done . so i decided that nobody was going to pay . all i had to do is move a few pieces around . you 'd be amazed how -- how resourceful you can get after you commit murder . but the fact is , we 're still paying for it , and we 're always going to pay for it . because kate 's gone . sorry , dix . madden 's dead . we 're never going to find her . how 's that for ironic ? after everything you 've done , i 'm the one that lost our little girl . [ scene_break ] josh : just tell me , babe . tell me it 's over . babe : i just -- i need some time to sort things out and make sense of everything . i -- josh : babe , tell me it 's over ! babe : i ca n't , ok ? i do n't want it to be . i do n't .

[ scene_break ] dixie : hang on a second . just wait a minute . there is no way that you have done this all on your own . in order to be exposed as a liar in court , you had to have had help . tad : yep . you think it was a coincidence that jamie showed up with that videotape ? dixie : jamie ? tad : dixie , it killed me to include him . i did n't see any other way . i needed somebody . i needed somebody that did n't have an ax to grind , somebody the jury would n't think would turn on me . who better than my own son ? and you know something ? in a perverse way , i 'm proud of him . he really pulled it off . it sure as hell could n't have been easy for him to stand in front of all those people and call his father a liar . dixie : yeah , i was pretty convinced he 'd turned against you . tad : yeah , he played it just right . we owe him a lot . if it were n't for jamie and aidan , you would n't be standing right here . dixie : aidan ? tad : mm - hmm . i do n't know how he did it , i do n't think i 'm supposed to ask , but somehow he was able to call in a marker with this guy kagan at the airport . dixie : the security guy 's testimony was all lies ? tad : uh - uh , not all of it . i was locked in that office overnight , but it did n't happen by accident . it sure as hell was n't june 5 . it was last week . all kagan did was alter the time stamp -- that 's what everybody looked at , or at least the jury . dixie : oh . tad : you 're angry . dixie : no , i -- i do n't know how -- i feel like -- i feel like a fool ! tad : i can relate . how do you think i felt when i found out you let me believe you were dead all those years ?

[ scene_break ] dixie : god , tad . if you hate me so much , why not just let me go to prison ? tad : i could n't let you take the fall . dixie : why ? what is going on ? tad : i could n't let you be convicted for a crime that you did n't commit . i knew you were innocent . i knew it from the start . you did n't do it . i did . i killed greg madden . dixie : you killed madden ? tad , it 's impossible . tad : why ? the whole town was looking for him . i just happened to be the lucky person who found him . dixie : no -- no . tad : i found him on his jet . he was prepping for takeoff . he had erica with him . she was unconscious . he must have drugged her somehow . he had her strapped to a sofa . he was this close to taking off to god only knows where . dixie : tad -- tad : i knew -- dixie : you 're not a killer . tad : i had to act fast . because as soon as that plane lifted off , he was going to disappear all over again with erica and every hope we would ever have of seeing kate . i did n't have time to think about it . i just grabbed the nearest thing i could and smashed him in the head with it . he dropped like a ton of bricks . and then for a minute , i stood there , just looking down at him , thinking about all the things that he 'd done , all the things he 'd gotten away with . people he 'd hurt . people i care about . and something came over me that was so ugly . so -- evil . scares the hell out of me just to think about it , even now . i was going to get an answer . if it had n't been for his connection to kate , i 'd have finished it right then . i 'd have happily torn him to shreds with my bare hands . [ scene_break ] josh : you know , when j.r. came up here -- found you standing there naked in that pool , you know why i did n't show myself ? do you know why i did n't flaunt what we had done in that smug face of his ? babe : you were trying to protect me . josh : i was trying to protect me . because i knew if i blew your cover to him that night , i would have lost you forever . babe : good call . josh : you still have n't said it . babe : i love my husband . and i really want to make it work with him . josh : and i love you . i want a life with you , babe . but until you tell me that definitely it 's over -- babe : you need to move on with your life , josh . josh : i 'm not going to be the one to walk away , babe . if you really want this to end , you 're going to have to be the one to do it . [ scene_break ] tad : i had to make a decision quickly . i knew i could n't kill madden , and i knew i could n't let him go . i just had to come up with a way to make him tell us where our daughter was . the only thing that made sense in that moment was to get him off that plane , so i carried him to the cargo storage area and went back for erica . you must have been there that night . dixie : yeah . well , we were . we were all over the airport . tad : that 's how zach 's fingerprint got on the lid of the crate . the same crate i put madden into , with erica . put it on a dolly and wheeled them out of the airport . after all , i could n't exactly leave the building with a couple of bodies , so i took them to the parking lot that was furthest away from the terminal . could n't use my own car , so i had to steal one . decided that the first unlocked car i found was the lucky winner . put erica in the front seat and madden in the trunk and tried to hot - wire the damn thing . been a long time since i had to hot - wire a car . things have obviously gotten more sophisticated since -- dixie : tad , by any chance , was that car the one that i had been renting ? tad : ai n't that a kick in the head ? dixie : so that 's how madden 's blood got in the trunk of my car . tad : oh -- dixie , i swear , i -- i swear to you , i had no idea . i was just so determined to get the hell out of there , i was so scared , you know ? to this day , i do n't even think i could tell you what the car looked like . and i kept thinking about kate , where she was , if she was lost -- imagining her in all these awful , awful situations . i knew whatever i was going to do with madden , it had to be in a place that was quiet , someplace empty . that 's why i thought of the park . it 's a hell of a thing . it was n't until i was there that i realized -- the exact same park ray gardner dropped me off at when i was 6 years old . hell of a thing . exact same spot my father left me with a broken arm . and here i was , all over again . had n't thought about it for years . and yet , there i was with another monster . a complete psychopath determined to take away everything i had , everything i was going to have . only this time -- you know , this time was different . this time , i could fight back . so i decided my friend the doctor was -- would n't go anywhere . the city was digging trenches all over the park . i guess they were putting in some kind of new drainage system , and -- all i had to do was choose one , you know ? so i just drove to a convenience store , picked up some food , some water , and i stripped a stereo out of the dashboard , rewired the receiver , tore a speaker out of the door . stopped by a construction site . you know , i had to get a length of pipe . something i could use as an air hose . and then after that , it was -- it was so easy . i just went back to the park , and one , two , three . and i set up the box . put him in it . and i buried the bastard . after that , it was just a question of rearranging a few flowers . leaving erica on a park bench covered with some newspapers . i knew she was going to wake up eventually on her own . so i drove home . parked the van a few blocks away , and walked in . set myself up a voice filter right over there . recorded a few choice messages for the good doctor , encouraging him to spill his guts , and then waited . waited for that pile of crap to wake up . [ scene_break ] zach : madden was gone . dixie and i searched for him all night , but no luck . i had a feeling he was still in pine valley . so i sent my men after him , to listen for him . they had scanning devices . maybe they could find his cell phone . then i would know when he was ready to leave . all night , could n't find anything . then one of my men struck gold . found a frequency , but it was n't a cell phone , it was something else . i listened in . and it turned out madden had been kidnapped by somebody who needed information about kate . so now , i had a pipeline to everything . and i recorded it . kendall : did you know that greg was buried alive ? zach : yeah , i figured it out . kendall : and you did n't do anything about it ? zach : we needed to find information about kate . unfortunately , the good doctor died before he could give it up . anyway , you asked me how i made a recording . that 's it . that 's how . kendall : you knew that he was being tortured . and you did n't try to -- to help him , or find him ? dig him up , save him ? zach : no . kendall : why ? zach : because i did n't care . madden stole children from their mothers . he denied fathers the right to raise their son or their daughter , and no one has the right to do that , no one . kendall : including your father . zach : huh . kendall : this is about ethan . zach : yeah , you 're damn right it is . my father was no better than that lunatic . my father robbed my son from me . i did n't know ethan existed until it was too late . he took my son from me the same way that madden took hundreds and hundreds of children from their parents ! kendall : so you just sat back and did nothing while he died ? zach : yeah . and i 'm sorry . i 'm sorry it was n't me that buried him . i 'm sorry it was n't me that tortured him until he squealed for mercy , begging to tell me where kate is . and i 'm so sorry that it was n't me that put him in that box and left him there to die . [ scene_break ] tad : i swear to you , i never meant to kill anybody . all i wanted to do was break him . and i was so close . god , i was so close . he was going to talk , i know he was . well , you know the rest . for a while , i thought about confessing or running away . and then i decided that the jerk had already taken so much away from me , i did n't want him to take anything else , so i just decided not to do anything . you know . did n't do a thing . until you got arrested . then things started to get interesting . [ tad sighs ] tad : i panicked . i did n't know what to do , except maybe let you take the rap . i would never do that to you . i 'd never ask you to pay for something that i had done . so i decided that nobody was going to pay . all i had to do is move a few pieces around . you 'd be amazed how -- how resourceful you can get after you commit murder . but the fact is , we 're still paying for it , and we 're always going to pay for it . because kate 's gone . sorry , dix . madden 's dead . we 're never going to find her . how 's that for ironic ? after everything you 've done , i 'm the one that lost our little girl . [ scene_break ] josh : just tell me , babe . tell me it 's over . babe : i just -- i need some time to sort things out and make sense of everything . i -- josh : babe , tell me it 's over ! babe : i ca n't , ok ? i do n't want it to be . i do n't .
