all that sweetness and light , it 's all an act . it 's all a way for her to dig her claws deeper into eli . she does n't have a conscience , jj . she does n't care about whose life she destroys , as long as she gets what she wants . do n't you get it ? we ca n't trust her as far as we could throw her . gabi : apparently nobody knocks in this house . you 're right . abigail : we live here , gabi . gabi : oh , i thought you moved to the backyard . chad : i asked you a question . who is this guy ? what are you guys up to ? what are you doing ? gabi : well , this is my jeweler , if you must know . see , i bought a watch for eli , and he needed my approval so he could start the engraving process . abigail : of course she has a jeweler who makes house calls . chad : let me see it . gabi : no , actually , nobody 's gon na see it until eli does . chad : right . okay . very thoughtful of you . gabi : yeah . you know , he loves vintage timepieces . chad : who does n't ? gabi : you can start with the engraving . and make sure to give it a final tune- up , because i just want to make sure it 's running like clockwork . chris : i 'm on it . gabi : i can trust the two of you to not spoil the surprise , right ? chad : of course . abigail : do n't worry . we know what happens when people get in your way , gabi . shawn : oh , my god , i ca n't even take all this in . rafe : i know . i know . shawn : so tell me what princess -- god , i ca n't even say that . i do n't even -- no . tell me what that thing in there that 's taken over my mom 's soul , what did she say about her ? rafe : yeah , well , when i was taking gina into custody , i said to her , i said she 's gon na be gone forever and hope is coming back . shawn : and ? rafe : and she seemed unfazed by that . and she said ... shawn : what ? she said what ? rafe : [ chuckles ] she said that hope 's gone forever . shawn : no . no . no . no . no . if rolf did something to her , then he can undo it , okay ? he has to . rafe : i hope so . i really do . but obviously we do n't -- we do n't know what the hell we 're dealing with here . so i just want to warn you . gina said what rolf did was permanent . shawn : damn it , no . no . no , there 's no way that -- there 's no way that you can just permanently erase a woman 's personality and then just hand her over to some wack job . rafe : right . shawn : and princess bitch in there , she makes grand pronouncements . so you know what ? there 's no way in hell i 'm gon na believe that my mom is gone and that -- that thing in there has taken over and she 's gon na win . well , you know what i 'm gon na do ? i 'm gon na go find rolf . i 'm gon na find him ; i 'm gon na make him turn her back . and then i 'm gon na kill him . [ dramatic music ] kayla : whoa . you ca n't let me leave ? you actually have said that to me twice . steve as stefano : i 'm sorry , sweetness . kayla : you know what ? you can just take `` sweetness `` out of your vocabulary , all right ? who the hell do you think you are , talking to me like that ? steve as stefano : [ sighs ] i misspoke . kayla : misspoke ? okay , okay , you know what ? we can just skip how offensive that is and go straight to how stupid it is . do you not get it ? do you not get how completely dependent you are on me ? how maybe the only reason i am helping you is because i want to see stefano taken down for all the things that he has done ? but do n't you forget for one second that you dumped me and you did n't even bother to come back here and tell me to my face . that you did n't bother to come back for your own sister 's funeral . steve as stefano : kayla , you need to calm down . kayla : calm down ? do n't tell me to calm down . and do n't order me around , and do n't threaten me . i should n't even be talking to you , never mind helping you . you hurt me . you were cruel . you signing those divorce papers shattered me . i laid in bed night after night for days , for weeks , wondering how on earth the man that i love , the father of my children , could turn into such a heartless bastard . so you know what i did ? i would go to work . and i would try to just get through every single day . and then when i would get home and i would think of you , i would think , `` what happened ? `` how we were so in love . how could you just throw that away ? and i fell apart . steve as stefano : that 's very sad . kayla : is n't it ? but you know what 's sadder ? your life and what lies ahead for you when you finally come down to earth and you realize what you 've done and how you convinced yourself that this marriage was n't working for you . but i - i know . and i know you , deep down in your heart , know that the kind of love we had was extraordinary , was passionate , and it was tender . and we had a friendship . you were my best friend . and you told me that i was yours . and even now , when you could hide , maybe , i know that you feel damn guilty for abandoning that and abandoning me and your life and your family . steve as stefano : [ sighs ] people grow apart , kayla . you know , it 's a fact of life . kayla : my god . what has happened to you ? steve as stefano : is that a rhetorical question ? kayla : you can change your own damn bandages . steve as stefano : kayla , wait , wait ! listen to me . think . do n't you see ? do n't you comprehend that you 're in just as much danger as john and marlena ? i 'm not threatening you . stefano is . jj : lani , i 'm doing everything i can to make sure gabi does n't do any more harm . i am helping you . lani : i know . jj : but it does n't help to hear another tirade about how much you hate her . lani : [ sighs ] i know . you 're right , and i 'm sorry . jj : okay . so to that end , i 'm gon na go to the hospital . keep an eye on things . gabi shows up , i 'll handle it . lani : right . jj : she probably won't . she thinks she 's getting married today . she 'll probably spend the whole day getting ready , right ? lani : yeah . i did . jj : you will again . lani : jj . i am so sorry for just dumping all of my misery on you . you have been great . above and beyond great . jj : did the same for me . if it was n't for you , i 'd be in an italian prison right now . so i hope i can return the favor . lani : you already have . julie : what do you mean , kayla 's missing ? doug : has anyone called justin ? eli : i left him a message . grandma , look , i did n't mean to upset you . i 'm sure it 's nothing . she probably just got tied up . julie : but does this mean i ca n't have my procedure today ? eli : no , everything is still going according to schedule . a cardiologist will do it . doug : well , should n't we at least wait until we hear from kayla ? eli : i think it 's more important to get her pacemaker inserted . julie : well , right . i have a wedding to perform tonight . eli : grandma , i was talking about your health . julie : oh . you 're such a doll . is n't he a doll ? doug : yes , yes , but i think we should wait for kayla . julie : honey , please do n't be negative . remember the last time we had this procedure ? it was easier than a trip to the dentist . it 's a piece of cake . wedding cake . gabi : [ sighs ] right , well , if you are done grilling me about the watch , i have things to do . i have to go . chad : i have something i need to tell you . gabi : well , ca n't it wait ? this is my wedding day . arianna 's sick , so sonny ca n't go , and then eli 's worried about julie . i 'm worried about everything , so please cut me some slack . chad : it 's about the company . thought that would get your attention . gabi : all right , chad . what is it about my company ? spit it out . chad : stefano 's back . steve as stefano : kayla , listen . i 'm sorry if i used the wrong tone of voice , but i 'm begging you to think about what 's happening here . all right ? you 're right . we have our children to consider . if stefano is on the loose , he 's after me , he 's gon na target the people i love : you and our children . kayla : you 're just trying to scare me . steve as stefano : no , i 'm trying to protect you . kayla : well , i 'm not the isa or anything like that , but nobody followed us last night . nobody knows you 're here . steve as stefano : this is stefano we 're talking about . you 're not gon na see him in your rearview mirror . you wo n't have any idea where he is until he 's face - to - face with you . he is closer , much closer , than you think . oh , oh , oh , ozempic ® ! eli : all right , everything is set . you 'll be in and out in no time . julie : ah , good . ca n't wait to blow this joint . eli : grandma , do you mind if i take off ? i still have some stuff to do . julie : go . go , go , go . eli : all right . julie : and in a few hours , i 'm gon na marry you to the girl of your dreams . eli : ca n't wait . you take care of her . doug : [ laughs ] i always do , eli . eli : all right . doug : my dear , are you sure you 're up for this ? surgery and officiating a wedding in the same day ? julie : darling , it 's not surgery . it 's a procedure . they run a little line up my leg . anyway , my grandson does not get married every day , so that 's that . doug : julie , like zarathustra , has spoken . julie : exactly . is n't it wonderful ? you know , when lani ditched eli , he was so down . i thought he was down for the count . and then along came gabi and ... doug : yeah . julie : i have never been so wrong about another human being in my entire life . chris : sorry , man . jj : whoa . hey . do n't i know you from somewhere ? [ tense music ] gabi : i just -- right . no , right . yes . yes , of course . stefano came back from the dead and he 's taken over steve johnson 's body . thank you . thank you for sharing that . i 'm gon na go check on the cartoon mice and see if they 're done making my dress . chad : it 's not funny . gabi : of course it 's not funny , because it 's not real , okay ? what , did he go to kristen 's mask maker and ask for a steve johnson mask ? chad : it 's not a mask . he tried to kill hattie adams . gabi : oh , of course he did . well , anybody that 's had her as a waitress would want to kill her . abigail : did you hear what he said ? stefano tried to kill her . chad : if he 's that pissed off at a waitress , imagine how he feels about you , the woman who is currently running his company . kayla : you do n't have to tell me how stefano operates . i have dealt with him and his stooges before . they want to come after me , well , they 're gon na find out that they are barking up the wrong tree . steve as stefano : this time is different . he 's desperate . believe me . he 's got nothing to lose . kayla : so what do you propose ? that i just bunk in here with you and hide from him and my patients , my boyfriend ? justin . justin must be worried sick about me . steve as stefano : well , you know , if you really care about him , you 'll stay right here , at least for a little while . kayla : do you think that stefano 's gon na go after him ? steve as stefano : well , he 's gon na go after anyone you care about . he wants to know what you know . right ? kayla : i need to call justin , tell him what 's going on . [ dramatic music ] [ cell phone ringing ] is that my phone ? steve as stefano : yeah . please do n't answer it . kayla : why not ? steve as stefano : there 's something i need to say to you . kayla : well , what is it ? steve as stefano : just want to tell you i really appreciate you patching me up like this . but i 'm afraid there 's one more favor i need to ask . i need you to hide me . [ knock at door ] kayla : it 's kayla . steve as stefano : thanks . thanks a lot . kayla : yeah . why do n't you let me help you put them on so you do n't pull out a stitch ? steve as stefano : all right . kayla : where the hell is my phone ? shawn : anything ? rafe : nothing substantial . roman 's leading the search for rolf , and in the meantime , not much we can do . shawn : what are you talking about ? yes , there is . why do n't we -- let 's take my mom to the university hospital , have kayla do a brain scan on her . i mean , that 's what they did last time when they found the microchip . rafe : you really think she 's gon na consent to that ? shawn : well , it does n't matter ; it 's not her body . it 's my mom 's body . rafe : we need a court order . shawn : okay , well , then we 'll get one . rafe : shawn , listen to me . i only have 48 hours until i have to charge her with a crime . i can only put off the da for so long . shawn : then that means that we need to get my mom back before then . jj : yeah , really , your face looks familiar . chris : yeah , a lot of people say that . maybe i have a twin i do n't know about . it is salem . jj : huh . point taken . jj deveraux . i work here . chris : chris choi . i work for a medical device company . i 'm here a lot ; maybe you saw me making a delivery . jj : yeah , i guess that was it . chris : so ... off to work . eli : best man . best man . hey , you remember to pick up your tux ? jj : hey . what ? eli : you psyched about tonight or what ? jj : yeah . yeah . yeah . definitely . eli : well , you definitely do n't seem like it . gabi : you think stefano 's gon na come after me ? abigail : yeah . we do . and by the way , you 're welcome for the heads - up . he is dangerous , and he looks like my uncle steve johnson . gabi : this is payback , right ? you 're trying to freak me out on my wedding day . chad : we 're just trying to give you a fair warning . gabi : okay , well , maybe it 's not stefano . maybe steve 's lost his mind . he thinks he 's somebody else . it happens , you know ? abigail : why do n't we just wrap this up ? chad : look , the man in steve 's body is stefano . he knew things that only my father would know . gabi : no . i 'm sorry . that 's just too crazy . i do n't believe that . chad : you do n't believe me ? call rafe . he just arrested hope . gabi : what ? chad : although it 's not really hope , 'cause dr . rolf turned her into princess gina -- again . gabi : wait . right . okay , hold on . so ... okay . so steve is stefano , right ? and then hope is a princess . and you spoke to steve , but he was actually your father . so is that why you were asking me who my jeweler was ? you thought it was your great - aunt poopsie dimera or something ? you know what ? both of you should try looking into getting a room -- at bayview .

does he not see what is so obvious to anybody with a brain that she is just a selfish little slut ? i mean , my god , her husband died , like , five minutes ago and she 's already gon na marry somebody else ? how does he trust someone like that ? does he not see that everything that comes out of her mouth is a disgusting lie ? jj : apparently not . lani : yeah , because he 's so in love . do you know how sick it makes me to think of them together ? to picture them celebrating their engagement together ? toasting with champagne ? getting in bed together ? jj : you need to stop . stop doing this to yourself . lani : no , no , jj , i ca n't , okay ?

by then , julie 's gon na have a new pacemaker . she 's gon na be out of danger . lani : damn it , jj . oh , my -- do you not understand that gabi knows about the new pacemaker ? you do n't think she 's gon na try to screw with that one ? [ dramatic music ] chris : so is this your `` something new `` ? gabi : what ? chris : you know , something old , something new , something borrowed , something lethal ? gabi : i do n't pay you for your witty commentary . so please go do what you 're paid to do . and do n't screw up . chris : hard to screw up . just have to get this to the hospital and to the doctor doing the procedure . gabi : right , well , get going . oh , and do n't forget , this is strictly between the two of us . it is our little secret . chad : what little secret is that ? kayla : what did you say to me ? steve as stefano : i said you ca n't go . kayla : how dare you tell me what i can and can not do ? you did n't even do that when we were married . steve as stefano : oh . i must have from time to time . just like you probably did it to me . kayla : no . never . steve as stefano : really ? i seem to recall you being pretty bossy . yeah . yeah , but , you know , i - i did n't take it personally . i figured you were chief of staff of a big hospital . you were used to ordering people around . i forgave you for it . kayla : you have really turned into a first - class jerk , have n't you ? steve as stefano : you do n't really think that , do you ? kayla : yeah , i really do . and i 'm leaving . steve as stefano : no . i need you . kayla : so does julie . she is getting her pacemaker changed out today and i am doing the procedure . steve as stefano : but you 're not a cardiologist . kayla : and you have nothing to say about it . steve as stefano : come on . ca n't somebody else do it ? julie 's a tough old bird . i mean , does she really need to be coddled ? kayla : oh , because you do , right ? `` oh , do n't help julie . just help me . `` is that it ? steve as stefano : all right . sorry . kayla : trust me . you will be just fine until i get back . steve as stefano : kayla , listen , listen . i may have put it badly . but the fact remains . i ca n't let you leave . jj : look . i think you 're overreacting . i think gabi , by now , has had enough revenge . she thinks she 's getting married . she thinks that she 's won . so why would she go after julie again ? lani : why would she go after abigail , okay ? why would she go after me ? because she is insane , jj . that 's why . jj : but she thinks you 're gone and she 's in the clear . lani : [ scoffs ] you are talking about her like she is normal . that woman is driven by hate . jj : she and julie , they 're close now . lani : no . no , she has hated julie for years . sociopaths , they do n't just forgive and forget , okay ? all that sweetness and light , it 's all an act . it 's all a way for her to dig her claws deeper into eli . she does n't have a conscience , jj . she does n't care about whose life she destroys , as long as she gets what she wants . do n't you get it ? we ca n't trust her as far as we could throw her . gabi : apparently nobody knocks in this house . you 're right . abigail : we live here , gabi . gabi : oh , i thought you moved to the backyard . chad : i asked you a question . who is this guy ? what are you guys up to ? what are you doing ? gabi : well , this is my jeweler , if you must know . see , i bought a watch for eli , and he needed my approval so he could start the engraving process . abigail : of course she has a jeweler who makes house calls . chad : let me see it . gabi : no , actually , nobody 's gon na see it until eli does . chad : right . okay . very thoughtful of you . gabi : yeah . you know , he loves vintage timepieces . chad : who does n't ? gabi : you can start with the engraving . and make sure to give it a final tune- up , because i just want to make sure it 's running like clockwork . chris : i 'm on it . gabi : i can trust the two of you to not spoil the surprise , right ? chad : of course . abigail : do n't worry . we know what happens when people get in your way , gabi . shawn : oh , my god , i ca n't even take all this in . rafe : i know . i know . shawn : so tell me what princess -- god , i ca n't even say that . i do n't even -- no . tell me what that thing in there that 's taken over my mom 's soul , what did she say about her ? rafe : yeah , well , when i was taking gina into custody , i said to her , i said she 's gon na be gone forever and hope is coming back . shawn : and ? rafe : and she seemed unfazed by that . and she said ... shawn : what ? she said what ? rafe : [ chuckles ] she said that hope 's gone forever . shawn : no . no . no . no . no . if rolf did something to her , then he can undo it , okay ? he has to . rafe : i hope so . i really do . but obviously we do n't -- we do n't know what the hell we 're dealing with here . so i just want to warn you . gina said what rolf did was permanent . shawn : damn it , no . no . no , there 's no way that -- there 's no way that you can just permanently erase a woman 's personality and then just hand her over to some wack job . rafe : right . shawn : and princess bitch in there , she makes grand pronouncements . so you know what ? there 's no way in hell i 'm gon na believe that my mom is gone and that -- that thing in there has taken over and she 's gon na win . well , you know what i 'm gon na do ? i 'm gon na go find rolf . i 'm gon na find him ; i 'm gon na make him turn her back . and then i 'm gon na kill him . [ dramatic music ] kayla : whoa . you ca n't let me leave ? you actually have said that to me twice . steve as stefano : i 'm sorry , sweetness . kayla : you know what ? you can just take `` sweetness `` out of your vocabulary , all right ? who the hell do you think you are , talking to me like that ? steve as stefano : [ sighs ] i misspoke . kayla : misspoke ? okay , okay , you know what ? we can just skip how offensive that is and go straight to how stupid it is . do you not get it ? do you not get how completely dependent you are on me ? how maybe the only reason i am helping you is because i want to see stefano taken down for all the things that he has done ? but do n't you forget for one second that you dumped me and you did n't even bother to come back here and tell me to my face . that you did n't bother to come back for your own sister 's funeral . steve as stefano : kayla , you need to calm down . kayla : calm down ? do n't tell me to calm down . and do n't order me around , and do n't threaten me . i should n't even be talking to you , never mind helping you . you hurt me . you were cruel . you signing those divorce papers shattered me . i laid in bed night after night for days , for weeks , wondering how on earth the man that i love , the father of my children , could turn into such a heartless bastard . so you know what i did ? i would go to work . and i would try to just get through every single day . and then when i would get home and i would think of you , i would think , `` what happened ? `` how we were so in love . how could you just throw that away ? and i fell apart . steve as stefano : that 's very sad . kayla : is n't it ? but you know what 's sadder ? your life and what lies ahead for you when you finally come down to earth and you realize what you 've done and how you convinced yourself that this marriage was n't working for you . but i - i know . and i know you , deep down in your heart , know that the kind of love we had was extraordinary , was passionate , and it was tender . and we had a friendship . you were my best friend . and you told me that i was yours . and even now , when you could hide , maybe , i know that you feel damn guilty for abandoning that and abandoning me and your life and your family . steve as stefano : [ sighs ] people grow apart , kayla . you know , it 's a fact of life . kayla : my god . what has happened to you ? steve as stefano : is that a rhetorical question ? kayla : you can change your own damn bandages . steve as stefano : kayla , wait , wait ! listen to me . think . do n't you see ? do n't you comprehend that you 're in just as much danger as john and marlena ? i 'm not threatening you . stefano is . jj : lani , i 'm doing everything i can to make sure gabi does n't do any more harm . i am helping you . lani : i know . jj : but it does n't help to hear another tirade about how much you hate her . lani : [ sighs ] i know . you 're right , and i 'm sorry . jj : okay . so to that end , i 'm gon na go to the hospital . keep an eye on things . gabi shows up , i 'll handle it . lani : right . jj : she probably won't . she thinks she 's getting married today . she 'll probably spend the whole day getting ready , right ? lani : yeah . i did . jj : you will again . lani : jj . i am so sorry for just dumping all of my misery on you . you have been great . above and beyond great . jj : did the same for me . if it was n't for you , i 'd be in an italian prison right now . so i hope i can return the favor . lani : you already have . julie : what do you mean , kayla 's missing ? doug : has anyone called justin ? eli : i left him a message . grandma , look , i did n't mean to upset you . i 'm sure it 's nothing . she probably just got tied up . julie : but does this mean i ca n't have my procedure today ? eli : no , everything is still going according to schedule . a cardiologist will do it . doug : well , should n't we at least wait until we hear from kayla ? eli : i think it 's more important to get her pacemaker inserted . julie : well , right . i have a wedding to perform tonight . eli : grandma , i was talking about your health . julie : oh . you 're such a doll . is n't he a doll ? doug : yes , yes , but i think we should wait for kayla . julie : honey , please do n't be negative . remember the last time we had this procedure ? it was easier than a trip to the dentist . it 's a piece of cake . wedding cake . gabi : [ sighs ] right , well , if you are done grilling me about the watch , i have things to do . i have to go . chad : i have something i need to tell you . gabi : well , ca n't it wait ? this is my wedding day . arianna 's sick , so sonny ca n't go , and then eli 's worried about julie . i 'm worried about everything , so please cut me some slack . chad : it 's about the company . thought that would get your attention . gabi : all right , chad . what is it about my company ? spit it out . chad : stefano 's back . steve as stefano : kayla , listen . i 'm sorry if i used the wrong tone of voice , but i 'm begging you to think about what 's happening here . all right ? you 're right . we have our children to consider . if stefano is on the loose , he 's after me , he 's gon na target the people i love : you and our children . kayla : you 're just trying to scare me . steve as stefano : no , i 'm trying to protect you . kayla : well , i 'm not the isa or anything like that , but nobody followed us last night . nobody knows you 're here . steve as stefano : this is stefano we 're talking about . you 're not gon na see him in your rearview mirror . you wo n't have any idea where he is until he 's face - to - face with you . he is closer , much closer , than you think . oh , oh , oh , ozempic ® ! eli : all right , everything is set . you 'll be in and out in no time . julie : ah , good . ca n't wait to blow this joint . eli : grandma , do you mind if i take off ? i still have some stuff to do . julie : go . go , go , go . eli : all right . julie : and in a few hours , i 'm gon na marry you to the girl of your dreams . eli : ca n't wait . you take care of her . doug : [ laughs ] i always do , eli . eli : all right . doug : my dear , are you sure you 're up for this ? surgery and officiating a wedding in the same day ? julie : darling , it 's not surgery . it 's a procedure . they run a little line up my leg . anyway , my grandson does not get married every day , so that 's that . doug : julie , like zarathustra , has spoken . julie : exactly . is n't it wonderful ? you know , when lani ditched eli , he was so down . i thought he was down for the count . and then along came gabi and ... doug : yeah . julie : i have never been so wrong about another human being in my entire life . chris : sorry , man . jj : whoa . hey . do n't i know you from somewhere ? [ tense music ] gabi : i just -- right . no , right . yes . yes , of course . stefano came back from the dead and he 's taken over steve johnson 's body . thank you . thank you for sharing that . i 'm gon na go check on the cartoon mice and see if they 're done making my dress . chad : it 's not funny . gabi : of course it 's not funny , because it 's not real , okay ? what , did he go to kristen 's mask maker and ask for a steve johnson mask ? chad : it 's not a mask . he tried to kill hattie adams . gabi : oh , of course he did . well , anybody that 's had her as a waitress would want to kill her . abigail : did you hear what he said ? stefano tried to kill her . chad : if he 's that pissed off at a waitress , imagine how he feels about you , the woman who is currently running his company . kayla : you do n't have to tell me how stefano operates . i have dealt with him and his stooges before . they want to come after me , well , they 're gon na find out that they are barking up the wrong tree . steve as stefano : this time is different . he 's desperate . believe me . he 's got nothing to lose . kayla : so what do you propose ? that i just bunk in here with you and hide from him and my patients , my boyfriend ? justin . justin must be worried sick about me . steve as stefano : well , you know , if you really care about him , you 'll stay right here , at least for a little while . kayla : do you think that stefano 's gon na go after him ? steve as stefano : well , he 's gon na go after anyone you care about . he wants to know what you know . right ? kayla : i need to call justin , tell him what 's going on . [ dramatic music ] [ cell phone ringing ] is that my phone ? steve as stefano : yeah . please do n't answer it . kayla : why not ? steve as stefano : there 's something i need to say to you . kayla : well , what is it ? steve as stefano : just want to tell you i really appreciate you patching me up like this . but i 'm afraid there 's one more favor i need to ask . i need you to hide me .

judge powers : the defendant is facing multiple murder charges . i 'll need to refer to my notes here . diane : actually , your honor , that wo n't be necessary . i move to dismiss all charges . judge powers : [ laughs ] on what grounds ? diane : regardless of franco quartermaine 's actions , he is not responsible for those crimes . judge powers : enlightened me , ms. miller . if your client is not responsible , who is ? diane : i 'm so glad you asked , your honor , and i will be happy to show you . carly : what the hell is that ? franco : it looks my 8th - grade art project . carly : i hope you flunked . lazaro : your honor , we 're not here to play show - and - tell . we 're here to put the defendant on trial for multiple crimes . diane : a trial would amount to a gross miscarriage of justice , your honor . lazaro : no more gross than whatever 's in that jar . diane : in this jar is the proof that franco quartermaine , a.k.a . robert frank , is innocent . the true culprit , liable for all of that death and destruction , is not my client ... but his tumor . britt : thought i recognized the stench of industrial - strength relaxer . now kindly take your chemically treated rough and holier - than - though attitude back to the mainland and inflict them on someone else . [ door slams ] sabrina : i 'm not going anywhere . emma : hurry , daddy ! patrick : i 'm coming . what 's the rush ? emma : i want to get back to decorating baby brother 's room . where 's the changing table ? did sabrina finish putting it together ? patrick : we had to take it back , sweetheart . emma : but babies need changing tables , daddy . patrick : well , not here , they do n't . emma : why not ? patrick : okay , listen . [ sighs ] we have to have a little talk about your little brother . nikolas : bradley cooper . time for you to man up . brad : man up ? nikolas : that 's right . brad : um , i think if you look closely , you 'll find that i 'm all man , even in the midst of a day as bad as this one . nikolas : well , it 's about to go from bad to worse unless you do what you 're told . brad : i 'm open - minded . your order to give is ... mine to take . nikolas : he 's your order . step up and take care of your son . michael : all right . thanks , enrique . i understand . morgan : well , what 's going on ? any sign of dad down on his island ? michael : [ sighs ] his rooms are still closed up . enrique sent somebody to the beach to check for him . no sign of him . olivia : we 've checked all of sonny 's usual places . you guys , we 're running out of time . the longer that sonny 's left on his own , the bigger the chance he 's gon na do something terrible to himself . lazaro : your honor , this is revolting . franco : oh , now , now . this is my tumor we 're talking about . lazaro : if that is indeed a tumor , and if it is the defendant 's , it still has no bearing on this trial ! it 's a cheap , obvious stunt that absolutely reeks of diane miller . franco : and formaldehyde . britt : you might want to get your prescription checked , sabrina . sabrina : i can see just fine , thank you . britt : no , i meant your anti - psychotics , because you clearly have no grasp where you are . sabrina : nikolas cassadine 's mansion . britt : exactly , where i am a guest and you are trespassing . now get out . sabrina : not until i say what i came here to say . britt : i do n't care what you have to say . i am extremely pregnant , extremely alone , and extremely fed up with you and your roommate and your high - and- mighty boyfriend that used to be mine . patrick already gave me an earful . i have had it . sabrina : oh , well , you know what ? that 's too bad , because you 're about to get an earful from me . how could you cheat patrick out of his son ? britt : it 's not his son ! sabrina : you know what ? it was bad enough that you dangled him in front of patrick and made him fall in love with that baby , but you did that to emma , too . you let them imagine a life with a little brother and a son , and that was all a lie . that baby was never gon na be a part of their lives , and you knew it ! britt : and your point ? ! sabrina : my point is how can you do this to a man that you claim to love ? patrick : well , before we have a little chat about your brother , you , uh -- you want something to drink or some ice cream or something ? emma : daddy , just tell me . what 's wrong ? patrick : okay . okay . look , um ... [ sighs ] i did n't think this was gon na be so difficult to tell you . emma : there 's no baby again , is there ? patrick : no . well , not exactly . i mean , britt 's still having a baby . emma : and he 'll come live with us ? patrick : no , he 's not gon na come and live with us . emma : why not ? patrick : because i 'm not the father of britt 's baby . it 's -- it 's someone else . brad : i - i - i do n't know what westbourne told you , but , uh , this -- nikolas : whoa , whoa , whoa . you 're the father of the baby . is that not the case ? britt told me that the two of you struck a deal . right ? she would secure your promotion here at the hospital in exchange for your ... dna . brad : i - i - is that judgment i hear ? [ chuckles ] that 's rather rich , prince nikolas , coming from an heir to a legacy of inbreeding , fratricide , and , uh , fringe meteorology . oh , yeah . i read the whole tell - all about your family , and , you know , frankly , i 'm shocked that the so - called white sheep of that mad clan -- nikolas : playing the class card wo n't get you off the hook here , pal . you wo n't shirk your responsibility with your son . i do n't care what arrangement you made . brad : hey , hey , hey . that kid is not my responsibility . nikolas : really ? tell me how you can say that . olivia : what if he 's already done it ? you guys , what if it 's already too late ? dante : whoa , whoa , whoa , whoa , whoa . would you calm down ? just try to clear your head -- for sonny 's sake , okay ? olivia : okay , okay . i 'm sorry . i 'm sorry . and i 'm sorry , boys . i should n't be freaking out like this . michael : oh , hey . it 's okay . we 're all on edge . olivia : i just do n't get it . how could this thing get so out of control ? i mean , i - i thought that sonny and connie put this whole thing behind them -- all of this stuff with joe jr. and with connie 's son and with the d.i.d . morgan : yeah . i mean , from what i could see , they looked pretty happy . olivia : well , yeah . they were happy . they were finally gon na make good on the promise that they made all those years ago when they were kids . then that stupid article about kiki came out . michael : wait , what do you -- what do you mean ? what does that article have to do with anything ? sonny : [ sighs ] connie , this is -- it 's all me . everything i touch , i destroy . every woman that i love , i ... i hurt . not anymore . i 'm not gon na let you die for nothing . this has to end now ... with me . connie : [ echoing ] hey . it 's me , baby . i 'm back . sonny : connie . michael : i do n't understand . did my father have a problem with connie 's article about kiki not being franco 's daughter ? morgan : who cares ? what does that have to do with anything ? ! michael : okay , why do n't you just calm down , all right ? we 're trying to figure this whole thing out . morgan : well , what is there to figure out , mikey ? ! dante : morgan . morgan : okay , why are we sitting here gossiping about dad and connie 's problems ? ! they do n't matter , all right ? ! connie 's dead ! and dad 's gon na be , too , if we do n't find him soon ! sonny : connie . you 're alive . connie : i 'm back . sonny : i love you so much . connie : i love you , too , sonny . sonny : i never stopped . connie : i know . neither did i , not for one second . sonny : do n't leave me again . connie : oh , sonny . i never meant to leave you in the first place . i 'm so sorry . sonny : no , hey . it 's not your fault . you could have never known -- connie : no , i knew how you felt about me running the article , and i printed it anyway . i made you doubt my love for you . sonny : it was -- it was my fault . i -- connie : you do n't have to doubt me , sonny . i loved you then , and i love you now . i always have , and i always will . britt : how could i lie to patrick like that when i claim i love him ? go to hell . sabrina : no wonder patrick washed his hands of you . britt : patrick would have never left me if you had n't weaseled your way in between us in the first place . oh , but that 's right -- you could n't turn his head with your looks , could you ? so you created your little whisper campaign . sabrina : wow ! you 've rewritten history so many times that you actually believe it yourself . britt : you deny that you wanted patrick the entire time that i was with him ? sabrina : look , i do n't deny that i had feelings for patrick , but i knew that he was still mourning his wife . i even kept quiet when it was clear to me and everybody else that being with you was the worst mistake patrick could ever make . britt : oh , right , of course -- because how could patrick pass up perfect little sabrina ? you call me the britch , but , honey , i ai n't got nothing on you . sabrina : you know , i knew that you were awful for patrick , but he was able to make that decision on his own when he realized that you hated his little girl . emma : what do you mean ? why is n't the baby yours ? patrick : well , sometimes when parents are expecting a baby , they , um -- they get confused who the dad is . emma : how ? patrick : [ sighs ] sometimes they think it 's gon na be one person , and it turns out that it 's another person . it 's like a mix - up . you know when you brought your friend 's backpack home from school and it looked exactly like yours but then when you opened it up inside it , you realized that it was n't yours ? emma : a baby is n't a backpack , daddy . patrick : [ chuckles ] i know it 's not , baby . emma : this is silly . how did everyone get so confused ? patrick : doctors do little tests on babies when they 're still growing inside their mommy 's stomach , and , um , sometimes they get them wrong . emma : so , you failed the test ? patrick : i guess you could kind of say that , yeah . but the important thing is , is that britt 's baby is n't going to be part of our family like we thought . emma : whose family does he get to be a part of ? patrick : [ sighs ] a man named brad . emma : he 's not gon na be as good of a daddy as you . patrick : [ smooches ] thank you for saying that , sweetheart . he 's gon na be just right for britt , though . nikolas : in what universe is the baby you share with britt not your responsibility ? brad : the universe in which -- you know , it 's like -- nikolas : no , no . i do n't know what it 's like . brad : look , westbourne and i had an agreement , okay ? she supplied the promotion . i supplied the sperm . nikolas : mm - hmm , which makes you the baby 's father . brad : no . there was no discussion of hand - holding , child - birthing , diaper- changing , or child support . drake was gon na handle all that . nikolas : well , that ceased to be the case once he found out that he was n't the father and that you were . brad : so what ? nikolas : so , you 're gon na see to britt and that baby 's every need , starting with putting a roof over their head . britt 's moving in with you . brad : [ chuckles ] judge powers : ms. miller , is it your contention that this ... so - called brain tumor caused the defendant to commit the litany of crimes for which he 's been charged ? diane : it is , your honor , and this tumor is the genuine article . lazaro : are we supposed to take your word for that ? diane : these affidavits , your honor , are from accredited neurologists . they confirm the authenticity of the tumor -- that it did come from franco quartermaine -- and the site from which it was removed . without the malevolent influence of this tumor on his cognitive and sensory faculties , along with his personality , none of the crimes attributed to him would ever have been committed . lazaro : your honor , the defendant 's crimes go back years . diane : indeed . and medical analysis of this tumor has determined its existence predates any allegations of crimes done . lazaro : how convenient . diane : the tumor has been growing , your honor , bit by bit , insidiously . all these years , franco has been at war with himself -- a war against his darker impulses spurred on by this tumor . lazaro : this man can not be allowed to escape trial on the defense that his tumor made him do it . diane : i can cite precedent , your honor -- trichter vs . the state of new york , glickfeld vs . the united states of america . lazaro : whose combined crimes do n't add up to half of what the accused is charged with here . diane : bottom line , your honor -- my client can not be held responsible for any crimes while he was afflicted . the charges must be vacated . he must be released . release my client , your honor . free franco . patrick : what are you thinking about , sweetheart ? emma : i wonder if the baby will miss us . patrick : that 's a good question . i do n't know what the little guy 's gon na be thinking ... but i do know that he missed out on having the best big sister in the entire world that anybody would be lucky to have . emma : i guess . patrick : [ chuckles ] i know you 're disappointed . this whole situation 's giving you a little whiplash . emma : what 's whiplash ? patrick : whiplash is the feeling you get when you think you 're gon na get something and then you realize that you 're not gon na get it . emma : it 's not fair . patrick : no , it 's not fair . and i know it took you a little bit of time to warm up to the idea , but you were looking forward to having a little brother , were n't you ? emma : you were excited , too . you really wanted to have a little boy -- someone to play catch with and take camping . you must have whiplash , too . patrick : [ sniffles ] yeah . i got a little whiplash . emma : maybe you could still have a baby boy -- your own baby boy with sabrina . patrick : [ chuckles ] britt : i do not hate emma . i am not fond of the little brat , but i do not hate her . sabrina : you treated emma like the enemy . britt : she treated me like i had cooties . sabrina : you called her names , britt -- a little girl . and then you turn your head when she runs away to escape your bullying . britt : i tried to be nice to that kid , okay ? sabrina : oh , come on ! britt : but i did n't stand a chance next to you , the maker of rainbows and everything nice ! sabrina : you frightened her . and then she ran away at night in the dead of winter . do you have any idea what could have happened to that little girl ? britt : she 's a spoiled little brat , okay ? sabrina : oh , well , that 's something that you obviously managed to say in front of patrick . oh , yeah . he finally saw you for the bitch you are and dropped you . but instead of taking no for an answer , you hatched up this little plan to trap him and recruited brad to help . brad : dr. westbourne ca n't move in with me . nikolas : and yet she is , so you better make room . brad : i live in a railroad apartment . there 's barely enough room for me , let alone britt or -- nikolas : you should have thought of that before you started doling out sperm samples . brad : why do you care where britt lives ? wh - what are you -- in love with her or something ? sabrina : you know , it would have been one thing if you had actually gotten pregnant after jumping patrick in the shower , but this ? what kind of person thinks of a plan as sick as this ? britt : apparently , you 're looking at her . sabrina : you knew that in order to redeem yourself with patrick , you had to prove that you could be a parental figure , so instead of doing the hard work of rebuilding a relationship with emma , you go and take the easy way out and go and get pregnant yourself . britt : you think this is easy ? ! sabrina : oh , but it backfired , did n't it ? you were found out , ostracized , and dumped . and now you 're alone and pregnant by a guy who probably wants even less to do with you than patrick . britt : ohh . yeah , exactly . i got everything i had coming to me . are n't you happy ? [ groans ] sabrina : you know , i really should despise you for everything that you 've done . but the truth is i pity you and that poor baby you 're carrying . with you as a mother , that little boy is in for a lifetime of nothing but grief . britt : [ groans ] damn . sabrina : yeah . the truth hurts , does n't it ? britt : it 's not the truth , you moron . it 's my baby . sonny : everything that happened was on me . connie : no , sonny . sonny : you told me not to get between my -- my sons michael and morgan , that i would hurt them both , and i did n't listen . connie : it was n't my place to tell you how to raise your boys . sonny : you knew i was making a mistake . i did n't listen . i - i wanted to protect my son . instead , i helped him marry someone who does n't love him -- not real love , like what we have . connie : sonny , what are you doing ? sonny : two weddings -- two weddings -- two weddings , two times we should have been married -- making promises to each other every time . i lost you . maybe i can find you again . i 'm gon na be with you now , connie . kiki : michael 's right . morgan , you need to chill . [ cell phone rings ] dante : uh , yeah . falconeri . what do you got ? kiki : listen to what your brother dante said . we all need to stick together . michael : kiki , it 's okay . morgan 's right . i did n't mean to get under your skin . morgan : it 's not about getting under my skin , michael . it 's just about finding dad , so can we please just drop everything else ? michael : of course . yeah . consider it dropped . olivia : what is it ? dante , is it sonny ? franco : you really think this is gon na work ? diane : well , i ca n't take all the credit for dreaming this up on my own . there is a font of recent legal precedent in neuroscience that backs me up . judge powers : approach . it would seem that your contention is not without merit and warrants further examination . lazaro : then ms. miller can make her case at trial . she can not circumvent due process . diane : i 'm attempting to do no such thing , your honor -- merely to exercise my client 's legal rights . lazaro : and what about the rights of franco 's victims ? the ones he stands accused of traumatizing and murdering deserve their day in court , and their families deserve to be heard from . carly : i 'm one of his victims . i can tell the court what you need to hear . brad : come on . level with me , prince . you got a thing for the britch ? nikolas : call her by her proper name or not at all . brad : lighten up . she likes it . nikolas : no , she does n't , actually , and neither do i . brad : um , because you wo n't have your lady 's honor besmirched ? nikolas : my friend 's honor . brad : sure . you 're such great friends , you ca n't wait to unload her on me . well , wh - what 's wrong ? did n't she live up to your lofty standards ? sure , it was fine when she was the poor , abandoned mother - to - be , but once you got a look inside of what makes her tick -- nikolas : bottom line , brad -- you 're the dad , so britt and the baby are now your responsibility . brad : i do n't see it that way . and if britt has a problem with that , she can take it up with me herself . sabrina : do you really expect me to believe this ? after the fake morning sickness and the fake dna test , now you 're faking braxton hicks ? britt : [ voice breaking ] sabrina , i 'm not faking . something is wrong . sabrina : okay . you know what ? look , if you want to continue to play this game , go ahead . keep playing . but you 're gon na play all by yourself . britt : no ! sabrina , sabrina , please ! i 'm not -- sabrina , i 'm not faking ! something 's wrong . [ crying ] please do n't go . please do n't go . emma : you and sabrina can have your own baby . and this time , when the doctors do the test , you can study extra hard and make sure the baby 's yours . patrick : well , i -- emma : would n't you like that ? patrick : yeah , i think that would be very nice . but i think that parents need to talk about having a baby together to make sure it 's the right situation , and i think for sabrina and me , it 's a little premature . emma : but you love sabrina , right ? patrick : yeah . i do love sabrina . emma : this much ? patrick : more than that . emma : this much ? patrick : that much ! yes . do you love sabrina ? emma : even more than this . patrick : yeah ? wow . that 's a lot . emma : so , if you love sabrina and sabrina loves you , maybe it 's not pre -- pre -- um ... patrick : premature . it means when something happens too soon . emma : since you love sabrina , maybe someday it wo n't be premature to have a baby brother . patrick : [ chuckles ] maybe , baby . [ smooches ] olivia : dante , who was that on the phone ? dante : that was the p.d . they may have spotted sonny . michael , morgan , you guys want to come with me ? olivia : wait , wait . you 're not gon na tell me where you 're going ? dante : why do n't you stay here in case he comes back here and we miss him , okay ? olivia : okay . i 'll wait . dante : kiki , do you mind waiting here with my mother ? kiki : no prob . i hope you find your dad . dante : thanks . let 's go . dante : uh , just one thing you guys should know before we go . morgan : why ? what 's going on ? michael : someone thinks they saw dad , but either he 's injured or -- dante : gunshot victim admitted to the e.r . matching sonny 's description . let 's go to the hospital . connie : sonny , do n't do this . sonny : i have to , 'cause i do n't think i can live without you . connie : you 've lived without me before for a very long time . you can keep living without me . think of all the reasons to live -- michael , morgan , dante , kristina . sonny : but i wo n't have you . connie : but you have me now , hmm ? in the place we were gon na get married . sonny : supposed to . that 's not gon na happen again . connie : says who ? you 're here . i 'm here . put the gun down , sonny . live . marry me . diane : so , you and carly . franco : we 're getting along better - ish . diane : but she is carly , after all . is she about to save our case or ruin it ? carly : i do . franco : i wish i could tell you , but right now , she 's just a mystery . judge powers : ms. jacks , you stated you were one of the defendant 's victims . please elaborate . carly : well , i 'm not gon na list all of franco 's crimes . it 's in the file right in front of you . i can tell you there was no end to the pain that franco caused my friends , myself -- worst of all , my children . judge powers : it is ms. miller 's position that the defendant 's actions were caused by a brain tumor and since it 's been excised , he 's no longer a threat to anyone . how do you feel about that ? carly : i 'm not a doctor . judge powers : no , but you 've had dealings with the defendant before and after the surgery , correct ? carly : i have . judge powers : then can you attest to any change in his personality positive or otherwise ? carly : yes . positive . judge powers : then you are confident that your family is no longer at risk ? carly : i - i have not observed any violent behavior . judge powers : let me put it this way . do you trust the defendant in the presence of your children ? carly : no , i do not . lazaro : your honor , i must renew my objection for the defense 's motion for dismissal . carly : excuse me . i would to like -- diane : your honor , ms. jacks was the one witness -- franco : let her talk . let her talk . hey . forgive me . i 'm sorry , your honor . it 's just that ms. jacks has something to say , and i , for one , would like to hear it . dot you want to hear what she has to say ? diane : mm . judge powers : ms. jacks , you wanted to add something . carly : i do . uh , i , uh ... i wanted to say that before the surgery , i witnessed behavior that i did n't think was possible -- guilt , remorse . franco stated that he wanted to make amends , you know , tumor or no tumor . judge powers : for example ? carly : when he found out his nephew had leukemia and needed a bone - marrow transplant , franco desperately wanted to help . the only thing he wanted more was a relationship with his daughter . she had been kept from him her whole life . and then after he found out that he could n't help danny , he also found out that his daughter was n't really his . judge powers : and how did he respond to these disappointments -- with anger or rage ? carly : both , but not against anyone -- i mean , not that i saw at all . judge powers : what did you see ? carly : i saw franco at his lowest point , thinking about ending it all . franco -- this franco ... is haunted by the things that he 's done . so , when i look at ... him and i think about the monster he used to be , i just do n't see that man anymore . judge powers : and yet you express reservations . carly : yes . yes . i - i - i do . i - i mean , i see this , and i do n't understand . did you choose to commit all those crimes , or did the tumor make you do it ? i do n't know . i do n't know , okay ? i - i - i -- judge powers : as someone who observed the defendant from a unique vantage point , what do you think ? carly : i think ... he could be a better man . but then i wonder ... is this some kind of a game ? is this tumor just a convenient excuse ? i mean , is franco still that genius psychopath ? does he have me fooled ? sonny : you want to marry me ? connie : [ chuckles ] do n't you ? sonny : it 's what i always wanted . connie : then what are you waiting for ? hmm ? make me your wife . dante : [ sighs ] was n't him . morgan : then who was it ? dante : some other poor bastard same height and build as sonny who tried to stop a robbery . michael : meanwhile , dad 's still out there . dante : we 'll find him , okay ? why do n't you guys head back to sonny 's house ? we 'll regroup later . morgan : whoa , whoa , whoa . where are you going ? dante : i 'm in the hospital . i got five minutes . i 'd like to see my wife and my child . michael : should we wait , or ... ? dante : no . you guys go back to sonny 's place , okay ? check in with kiki and my mother . who knows ? maybe they stumbled upon a lead while we were gone . kiki : i found some iced tea in the fridge . olivia : thanks . kiki , what are you doing ? kiki : what do you mean ? olivia : what are you doing in connie 's dress ? kiki : what dress ? olivia : her wedding dress ! kiki : [ chuckles ] olivia , i do n't know what you mean . olivia : okay . i got to go . i got to go . kiki : have to go where ? olivia : i think i know where sonny is . sonny : i do n't think i 've ever seen you look more beautiful . connie : right back at you , handsome . sonny : you ready ? connie : you remember your vows ? sonny : every word . do you ? connie : michael `` sonny `` corinthos ... sonny : constanza louise falconeri ... connie : ... i take you to be my husband and my partner from this day forward ... sonny : ... i will be true to you and cherish you . connie : ... share my thoughts , my hopes , my dreams with you . sonny : i will spend the rest of my life with you . connie : you 're my best friend . i will love you forever . sonny : i love you ... forever , in this life ... connie : and the next life . you may kiss your bride . patrick : hey , sabrina . it 's , uh -- it 's me . i know you 're still at work . i just wanted to let you know that i told emma about britt and the baby . and i wish you were here , 'cause it was n't easy , but , uh ... emma : daddy ? patrick : i got to call you back . what 's up , buddy ? emma : you do n't have to wait to get a little boy to play catch . patrick : [ chuckles ] you are the best . emma : [ giggles ] [ laughs ] patrick : this is awesome . what do you say we go outside and play a little catch , huh ? emma : yeah . [ laughs ] i love you , daddy . patrick : i love you , sweetheart . brad : uh , detective falconeri , i need to speak to you about something . britt : [ groaning ] [ breathing rhythmically ] nikolas : hey , what 's going on ? sabrina : we 're baking a cake . britt 's in labor . britt : [ breathing continues ] judge powers : thank you for your statement , ms. jacks . you 've given me much to consider . i need a day to review the materials the defense has provided as well as ms. jacks ' testimony before i can rule on the motion to dismiss . mr. lazaro , please feel free to use this time to fashion a rebuttal . lazaro : i have already started , your honor . judge powers : i wait with bated breath . ms. miller , next time , photographs . court is in recess . [ bangs gavel ] bailiff : all rise ! diane : well , i guess we know where carly stands . franco : do we ? i do n't think i have any idea where carly stands . carly : i guess i owe you an apology . franco : for what ? you were asked to tell the truth . that 's what you did . diane : oh , i 'm so glad you can be so sanguine about it . i hope you feel exactly the same way when you 're serving a life sentence in pentonville , because i 'm pretty sure that that 's exactly what your testimony just assured . connie : how does it feel to finally be married ? sonny : it feels right . connie : remember that feeling . keep it with you . sonny : do n't go . stay . connie : i 'll always be with you , sonny -- in your heart and in your memory . sonny : connie . i want more . connie : i wish i had more to give . i love you , sonny . goodbye . sonny : [ sighs ] kiki : hey ! did you find your dad ? morgan : no , it was n't him . michael : where 's olivia ? sonny : connie ... i love you ... in this life and the next . olivia : sonny ! no ! | at franco 's arraignment , diane argues that franco 's tumor was responsible for his actions and asks for all charges to be dropped . the judge agrees that diane 's assertion warrants further consideration . the prosecutor says franco 's victims deserve consideration , too . carly stands up and identifies herself as one of franco 's victims . she takes the stand . in answering the judge 's questions , carly says she believes franco has changed in a positive way and that she has not seen any violent behavior , but that she would n't trust him with her children . she adds that she saw remorse and a desire to make amends . she says she saw him desperately want to help his nephew who has leukemia and to forge a relationship with the daughter whose mother kept her from him her whole life . she says she saw him at his lowest point , wanting to take his own life and that he did n't turn his anger toward anyone else . she says she wants to believe that franco can be a better man , but she is n't sure if this is just another one of his games . the judge says she needs a day to consider . she tells diane to bring a photograph instead of a real tumor in a jar next time . | <s>[INST] judge powers : the defendant is facing multiple murder charges . i 'll need to refer to my notes here . diane : actually , your honor , that wo n't be necessary . i move to dismiss all charges . judge powers : [ laughs ] on what grounds ? diane : regardless of franco quartermaine 's actions , he is not responsible for those crimes . judge powers : enlightened me , ms. miller . if your client is not responsible , who is ? diane : i 'm so glad you asked , your honor , and i will be happy to show you . carly : what the hell is that ? franco : it looks my 8th - grade art project . carly : i hope you flunked . lazaro : your honor , we 're not here to play show - and - tell . we 're here to put the defendant on trial for multiple crimes . diane : a trial would amount to a gross miscarriage of justice , your honor . lazaro : no more gross than whatever 's in that jar . diane : in this jar is the proof that franco quartermaine , a.k.a . robert frank , is innocent . the true culprit , liable for all of that death and destruction , is not my client ... but his tumor . britt : thought i recognized the stench of industrial - strength relaxer . now kindly take your chemically treated rough and holier - than - though attitude back to the mainland and inflict them on someone else . [ door slams ] sabrina : i 'm not going anywhere . emma : hurry , daddy ! patrick : i 'm coming . what 's the rush ? emma : i want to get back to decorating baby brother 's room . where 's the changing table ? did sabrina finish putting it together ? patrick : we had to take it back , sweetheart . emma : but babies need changing tables , daddy . patrick : well , not here , they do n't . emma : why not ? patrick : okay , listen . [ sighs ] we have to have a little talk about your little brother . nikolas : bradley cooper . time for you to man up . brad : man up ? nikolas : that 's right . brad : um , i think if you look closely , you 'll find that i 'm all man , even in the midst of a day as bad as this one . nikolas : well , it 's about to go from bad to worse unless you do what you 're told . brad : i 'm open - minded . your order to give is ... mine to take . nikolas : he 's your order . step up and take care of your son . michael : all right . thanks , enrique . i understand . morgan : well , what 's going on ? any sign of dad down on his island ? michael : [ sighs ] his rooms are still closed up . enrique sent somebody to the beach to check for him . no sign of him . olivia : we 've checked all of sonny 's usual places . you guys , we 're running out of time . the longer that sonny 's left on his own , the bigger the chance he 's gon na do something terrible to himself . lazaro : your honor , this is revolting . franco : oh , now , now . this is my tumor we 're talking about . lazaro : if that is indeed a tumor , and if it is the defendant 's , it still has no bearing on this trial ! it 's a cheap , obvious stunt that absolutely reeks of diane miller . franco : and formaldehyde . britt : you might want to get your prescription checked , sabrina . sabrina : i can see just fine , thank you . britt : no , i meant your anti - psychotics , because you clearly have no grasp where you are . sabrina : nikolas cassadine 's mansion . britt : exactly , where i am a guest and you are trespassing . now get out . sabrina : not until i say what i came here to say . britt : i do n't care what you have to say . i am extremely pregnant , extremely alone , and extremely fed up with you and your roommate and your high - and- mighty boyfriend that used to be mine . patrick already gave me an earful . i have had it . sabrina : oh , well , you know what ? that 's too bad , because you 're about to get an earful from me . how could you cheat patrick out of his son ? britt : it 's not his son ! sabrina : you know what ? it was bad enough that you dangled him in front of patrick and made him fall in love with that baby , but you did that to emma , too . you let them imagine a life with a little brother and a son , and that was all a lie . that baby was never gon na be a part of their lives , and you knew it ! britt : and your point ? ! sabrina : my point is how can you do this to a man that you claim to love ? patrick : well , before we have a little chat about your brother , you , uh -- you want something to drink or some ice cream or something ? emma : daddy , just tell me . what 's wrong ? patrick : okay . okay . look , um ... [ sighs ] i did n't think this was gon na be so difficult to tell you . emma : there 's no baby again , is there ? patrick : no . well , not exactly . i mean , britt 's still having a baby . emma : and he 'll come live with us ? patrick : no , he 's not gon na come and live with us . emma : why not ? patrick : because i 'm not the father of britt 's baby . it 's -- it 's someone else . brad : i - i - i do n't know what westbourne told you , but , uh , this -- nikolas : whoa , whoa , whoa . you 're the father of the baby . is that not the case ? britt told me that the two of you struck a deal . right ? she would secure your promotion here at the hospital in exchange for your ... dna . brad : i - i - is that judgment i hear ? [ chuckles ] that 's rather rich , prince nikolas , coming from an heir to a legacy of inbreeding , fratricide , and , uh , fringe meteorology . oh , yeah . i read the whole tell - all about your family , and , you know , frankly , i 'm shocked that the so - called white sheep of that mad clan -- nikolas : playing the class card wo n't get you off the hook here , pal . you wo n't shirk your responsibility with your son . i do n't care what arrangement you made . brad : hey , hey , hey . that kid is not my responsibility . nikolas : really ? tell me how you can say that . olivia : what if he 's already done it ? you guys , what if it 's already too late ? dante : whoa , whoa , whoa , whoa , whoa . would you calm down ? just try to clear your head -- for sonny 's sake , okay ? olivia : okay , okay . i 'm sorry . i 'm sorry . and i 'm sorry , boys . i should n't be freaking out like this . michael : oh , hey . it 's okay . we 're all on edge . olivia : i just do n't get it . how could this thing get so out of control ? i mean , i - i thought that sonny and connie put this whole thing behind them -- all of this stuff with joe jr. and with connie 's son and with the d.i.d . morgan : yeah . i mean , from what i could see , they looked pretty happy . olivia : well , yeah . they were happy . they were finally gon na make good on the promise that they made all those years ago when they were kids . then that stupid article about kiki came out . michael : wait , what do you -- what do you mean ? what does that article have to do with anything ? sonny : [ sighs ] connie , this is -- it 's all me . everything i touch , i destroy . every woman that i love , i ... i hurt . not anymore . i 'm not gon na let you die for nothing . this has to end now ... with me . connie : [ echoing ] hey . it 's me , baby . i 'm back . sonny : connie . michael : i do n't understand . did my father have a problem with connie 's article about kiki not being franco 's daughter ? morgan : who cares ? what does that have to do with anything ? ! michael : okay , why do n't you just calm down , all right ? we 're trying to figure this whole thing out . morgan : well , what is there to figure out , mikey ? ! dante : morgan . morgan : okay , why are we sitting here gossiping about dad and connie 's problems ? ! they do n't matter , all right ? ! connie 's dead ! and dad 's gon na be , too , if we do n't find him soon ! sonny : connie . you 're alive . connie : i 'm back . sonny : i love you so much . connie : i love you , too , sonny . sonny : i never stopped . connie : i know . neither did i , not for one second . sonny : do n't leave me again . connie : oh , sonny . i never meant to leave you in the first place . i 'm so sorry . sonny : no , hey . it 's not your fault . you could have never known -- connie : no , i knew how you felt about me running the article , and i printed it anyway . i made you doubt my love for you . sonny : it was -- it was my fault . i -- connie : you do n't have to doubt me , sonny . i loved you then , and i love you now . i always have , and i always will . britt : how could i lie to patrick like that when i claim i love him ? go to hell . sabrina : no wonder patrick washed his hands of you . britt : patrick would have never left me if you had n't weaseled your way in between us in the first place . oh , but that 's right -- you could n't turn his head with your looks , could you ? so you created your little whisper campaign . sabrina : wow ! you 've rewritten history so many times that you actually believe it yourself . britt : you deny that you wanted patrick the entire time that i was with him ? sabrina : look , i do n't deny that i had feelings for patrick , but i knew that he was still mourning his wife . i even kept quiet when it was clear to me and everybody else that being with you was the worst mistake patrick could ever make . britt : oh , right , of course -- because how could patrick pass up perfect little sabrina ? you call me the britch , but , honey , i ai n't got nothing on you . sabrina : you know , i knew that you were awful for patrick , but he was able to make that decision on his own when he realized that you hated his little girl . emma : what do you mean ? why is n't the baby yours ? patrick : well , sometimes when parents are expecting a baby , they , um -- they get confused who the dad is . emma : how ? patrick : [ sighs ] sometimes they think it 's gon na be one person , and it turns out that it 's another person . it 's like a mix - up . you know when you brought your friend 's backpack home from school and it looked exactly like yours but then when you opened it up inside it , you realized that it was n't yours ? emma : a baby is n't a backpack , daddy . patrick : [ chuckles ] i know it 's not , baby . emma : this is silly . how did everyone get so confused ? patrick : doctors do little tests on babies when they 're still growing inside their mommy 's stomach , and , um , sometimes they get them wrong . emma : so , you failed the test ? patrick : i guess you could kind of say that , yeah . but the important thing is , is that britt 's baby is n't going to be part of our family like we thought . emma : whose family does he get to be a part of ? patrick : [ sighs ] a man named brad . emma : he 's not gon na be as good of a daddy as you . patrick : [ smooches ] thank you for saying that , sweetheart . he 's gon na be just right for britt , though . nikolas : in what universe is the baby you share with britt not your responsibility ? brad : the universe in which -- you know , it 's like -- nikolas : no , no . i do n't know what it 's like . brad : look , westbourne and i had an agreement , okay ? she supplied the promotion . i supplied the sperm . nikolas : mm - hmm , which makes you the baby 's father . brad : no . there was no discussion of hand - holding , child - birthing , diaper- changing , or child support . drake was gon na handle all that . nikolas : well , that ceased to be the case once he found out that he was n't the father and that you were . brad : so what ? nikolas : so , you 're gon na see to britt and that baby 's every need , starting with putting a roof over their head . britt 's moving in with you . brad : [ chuckles ] judge powers : ms. miller , is it your contention that this ... so - called brain tumor caused the defendant to commit the litany of crimes for which he 's been charged ? diane : it is , your honor , and this tumor is the genuine article . lazaro : are we supposed to take your word for that ? diane : these affidavits , your honor , are from accredited neurologists . they confirm the authenticity of the tumor -- that it did come from franco quartermaine -- and the site from which it was removed . without the malevolent influence of this tumor on his cognitive and sensory faculties , along with his personality , none of the crimes attributed to him would ever have been committed . lazaro : your honor , the defendant 's crimes go back years . diane : indeed . and medical analysis of this tumor has determined its existence predates any allegations of crimes done . lazaro : how convenient . diane : the tumor has been growing , your honor , bit by bit , insidiously . all these years , franco has been at war with himself -- a war against his darker impulses spurred on by this tumor . lazaro : this man can not be allowed to escape trial on the defense that his tumor made him do it . diane : i can cite precedent , your honor -- trichter vs . the state of new york , glickfeld vs . the united states of america . lazaro : whose combined crimes do n't add up to half of what the accused is charged with here . diane : bottom line , your honor -- my client can not be held responsible for any crimes while he was afflicted . the charges must be vacated . he must be released . release my client , your honor . free franco . patrick : what are you thinking about , sweetheart ? emma : i wonder if the baby will miss us . patrick : that 's a good question . i do n't know what the little guy 's gon na be thinking ... but i do know that he missed out on having the best big sister in the entire world that anybody would be lucky to have . emma : i guess . patrick : [ chuckles ] i know you 're disappointed . this whole situation 's giving you a little whiplash . emma : what 's whiplash ? patrick : whiplash is the feeling you get when you think you 're gon na get something and then you realize that you 're not gon na get it . emma : it 's not fair . patrick : no , it 's not fair . and i know it took you a little bit of time to warm up to the idea , but you were looking forward to having a little brother , were n't you ? emma : you were excited , too . you really wanted to have a little boy -- someone to play catch with and take camping . you must have whiplash , too . patrick : [ sniffles ] yeah . i got a little whiplash . emma : maybe you could still have a baby boy -- your own baby boy with sabrina . patrick : [ chuckles ] britt : i do not hate emma . i am not fond of the little brat , but i do not hate her . sabrina : you treated emma like the enemy . britt : she treated me like i had cooties . sabrina : you called her names , britt -- a little girl . and then you turn your head when she runs away to escape your bullying . britt : i tried to be nice to that kid , okay ? sabrina : oh , come on ! britt : but i did n't stand a chance next to you , the maker of rainbows and everything nice ! sabrina : you frightened her . and then she ran away at night in the dead of winter . do you have any idea what could have happened to that little girl ? britt : she 's a spoiled little brat , okay ? sabrina : oh , well , that 's something that you obviously managed to say in front of patrick . oh , yeah . he finally saw you for the bitch you are and dropped you . but instead of taking no for an answer , you hatched up this little plan to trap him and recruited brad to help . brad : dr. westbourne ca n't move in with me . nikolas : and yet she is , so you better make room . brad : i live in a railroad apartment . there 's barely enough room for me , let alone britt or -- nikolas : you should have thought of that before you started doling out sperm samples . brad : why do you care where britt lives ? wh - what are you -- in love with her or something ? sabrina : you know , it would have been one thing if you had actually gotten pregnant after jumping patrick in the shower , but this ? what kind of person thinks of a plan as sick as this ? britt : apparently , you 're looking at her . sabrina : you knew that in order to redeem yourself with patrick , you had to prove that you could be a parental figure , so instead of doing the hard work of rebuilding a relationship with emma , you go and take the easy way out and go and get pregnant yourself . britt : you think this is easy ? ! sabrina : oh , but it backfired , did n't it ? you were found out , ostracized , and dumped . and now you 're alone and pregnant by a guy who probably wants even less to do with you than patrick . britt : ohh . yeah , exactly . i got everything i had coming to me . are n't you happy ? [ groans ] sabrina : you know , i really should despise you for everything that you 've done . but the truth is i pity you and that poor baby you 're carrying . with you as a mother , that little boy is in for a lifetime of nothing but grief . britt : [ groans ] damn . sabrina : yeah . the truth hurts , does n't it ? britt : it 's not the truth , you moron . it 's my baby . sonny : everything that happened was on me . connie : no , sonny . sonny : you told me not to get between my -- my sons michael and morgan , that i would hurt them both , and i did n't listen . connie : it was n't my place to tell you how to raise your boys . sonny : you knew i was making a mistake . i did n't listen . i - i wanted to protect my son . instead , i helped him marry someone who does n't love him -- not real love , like what we have . connie : sonny , what are you doing ? sonny : two weddings -- two weddings -- two weddings , two times we should have been married -- making promises to each other every time . i lost you . maybe i can find you again . i 'm gon na be with you now , connie . kiki : michael 's right . morgan , you need to chill . [ cell phone rings ] dante : uh , yeah . falconeri . what do you got ? kiki : listen to what your brother dante said . we all need to stick together . michael : kiki , it 's okay . morgan 's right . i did n't mean to get under your skin . morgan : it 's not about getting under my skin , michael . it 's just about finding dad , so can we please just drop everything else ? michael : of course . yeah . consider it dropped . olivia : what is it ? dante , is it sonny ? franco : you really think this is gon na work ? diane : well , i ca n't take all the credit for dreaming this up on my own . there is a font of recent legal precedent in neuroscience that backs me up . judge powers : approach . it would seem that your contention is not without merit and warrants further examination . lazaro : then ms. miller can make her case at trial . she can not circumvent due process . diane : i 'm attempting to do no such thing , your honor -- merely to exercise my client 's legal rights . lazaro : and what about the rights of franco 's victims ? the ones he stands accused of traumatizing and murdering deserve their day in court , and their families deserve to be heard from . carly : i 'm one of his victims . i can tell the court what you need to hear . brad : come on . level with me , prince . you got a thing for the britch ? nikolas : call her by her proper name or not at all . brad : lighten up . she likes it . nikolas : no , she does n't , actually , and neither do i . brad : um , because you wo n't have your lady 's honor besmirched ? nikolas : my friend 's honor . brad : sure . you 're such great friends , you ca n't wait to unload her on me . well , wh - what 's wrong ? did n't she live up to your lofty standards ? sure , it was fine when she was the poor , abandoned mother - to - be , but once you got a look inside of what makes her tick -- nikolas : bottom line , brad -- you 're the dad , so britt and the baby are now your responsibility . brad : i do n't see it that way . and if britt has a problem with that , she can take it up with me herself . sabrina : do you really expect me to believe this ? after the fake morning sickness and the fake dna test , now you 're faking braxton hicks ? britt : [ voice breaking ] sabrina , i 'm not faking . something is wrong . sabrina : okay . you know what ? look , if you want to continue to play this game , go ahead . keep playing . but you 're gon na play all by yourself . britt : no ! sabrina , sabrina , please ! i 'm not -- sabrina , i 'm not faking ! something 's wrong . [ crying ] please do n't go . please do n't go . emma : you and sabrina can have your own baby . and this time , when the doctors do the test , you can study extra hard and make sure the baby 's yours . patrick : well , i -- emma : would n't you like that ? patrick : yeah , i think that would be very nice . but i think that parents need to talk about having a baby together to make sure it 's the right situation , and i think for sabrina and me , it 's a little premature . emma : but you love sabrina , right ? patrick : yeah . i do love sabrina . emma : this much ? patrick : more than that . emma : this much ? patrick : that much ! yes . do you love sabrina ? emma : even more than this . patrick : yeah ? wow . that 's a lot . emma : so , if you love sabrina and sabrina loves you , maybe it 's not pre -- pre -- um ... patrick : premature . it means when something happens too soon . emma : since you love sabrina , maybe someday it wo n't be premature to have a baby brother . patrick : [ chuckles ] maybe , baby . [ smooches ] olivia : dante , who was that on the phone ? dante : that was the p.d . they may have spotted sonny . michael , morgan , you guys want to come with me ? olivia : wait , wait . you 're not gon na tell me where you 're going ? dante : why do n't you stay here in case he comes back here and we miss him , okay ? olivia : okay . i 'll wait . dante : kiki , do you mind waiting here with my mother ? kiki : no prob . i hope you find your dad . dante : thanks . let 's go . dante : uh , just one thing you guys should know before we go . morgan : why ? what 's going on ? michael : someone thinks they saw dad , but either he 's injured or -- dante : gunshot victim admitted to the e.r . matching sonny 's description . let 's go to the hospital . connie : sonny , do n't do this . sonny : i have to , 'cause i do n't think i can live without you . connie : you 've lived without me before for a very long time . you can keep living without me . think of all the reasons to live -- michael , morgan , dante , kristina . sonny : but i wo n't have you . connie : but you have me now , hmm ? in the place we were gon na get married . sonny : supposed to . that 's not gon na happen again . connie : says who ? you 're here . i 'm here . put the gun down , sonny . live . marry me . diane : so , you and carly . franco : we 're getting along better - ish . diane : but she is carly , after all . is she about to save our case or ruin it ? carly : i do . franco : i wish i could tell you , but right now , she 's just a mystery . judge powers : ms. jacks , you stated you were one of the defendant 's victims . please elaborate . carly : well , i 'm not gon na list all of franco 's crimes . it 's in the file right in front of you . i can tell you there was no end to the pain that franco caused my friends , myself -- worst of all , my children . judge powers : it is ms. miller 's position that the defendant 's actions were caused by a brain tumor and since it 's been excised , he 's no longer a threat to anyone . how do you feel about that ? carly : i 'm not a doctor . judge powers : no , but you 've had dealings with the defendant before and after the surgery , correct ? carly : i have . judge powers : then can you attest to any change in his personality positive or otherwise ? carly : yes . positive . judge powers : then you are confident that your family is no longer at risk ? carly : i - i have not observed any violent behavior . judge powers : let me put it this way . do you trust the defendant in the presence of your children ? carly : no , i do not . lazaro : your honor , i must renew my objection for the defense 's motion for dismissal . carly : excuse me . i would to like -- diane : your honor , ms. jacks was the one witness -- franco : let her talk . let her talk . hey . forgive me . i 'm sorry , your honor . it 's just that ms. jacks has something to say , and i , for one , would like to hear it . dot you want to hear what she has to say ? diane : mm . judge powers : ms. jacks , you wanted to add something . carly : i do . uh , i , uh ... i wanted to say that before the surgery , i witnessed behavior that i did n't think was possible -- guilt , remorse . franco stated that he wanted to make amends , you know , tumor or no tumor . judge powers : for example ? carly : when he found out his nephew had leukemia and needed a bone - marrow transplant , franco desperately wanted to help . the only thing he wanted more was a relationship with his daughter . she had been kept from him her whole life . and then after he found out that he could n't help danny , he also found out that his daughter was n't really his . judge powers : and how did he respond to these disappointments -- with anger or rage ? carly : both , but not against anyone -- i mean , not that i saw at all . judge powers : what did you see ? carly : i saw franco at his lowest point , thinking about ending it all . franco -- this franco ... is haunted by the things that he 's done . so , when i look at ... him and i think about the monster he used to be , i just do n't see that man anymore . judge powers : and yet you express reservations . carly : yes . yes . i - i - i do . i - i mean , i see this , and i do n't understand . did you choose to commit all those crimes , or did the tumor make you do it ? i do n't know . i do n't know , okay ? i - i - i -- judge powers : as someone who observed the defendant from a unique vantage point , what do you think ? carly : i think ... he could be a better man . but then i wonder ... is this some kind of a game ? is this tumor just a convenient excuse ? i mean , is franco still that genius psychopath ? does he have me fooled ? sonny : you want to marry me ? connie : [ chuckles ] do n't you ? sonny : it 's what i always wanted . connie : then what are you waiting for ? hmm ? make me your wife . dante : [ sighs ] was n't him . morgan : then who was it ? dante : some other poor bastard same height and build as sonny who tried to stop a robbery . michael : meanwhile , dad 's still out there . dante : we 'll find him , okay ?

[ bangs gavel ] bailiff : all rise ! diane : well , i guess we know where carly stands . franco : do we ? i do n't think i have any idea where carly stands . carly : i guess i owe you an apology . franco : for what ? you were asked to tell the truth . that 's what you did . diane : oh , i 'm so glad you can be so sanguine about it . i hope you feel exactly the same way when you 're serving a life sentence in pentonville , because i 'm pretty sure that that 's exactly what your testimony just assured . connie : how does it feel to finally be married ? sonny : it feels right . connie : remember that feeling . keep it with you . sonny : do n't go . stay . connie : i 'll always be with you , sonny -- in your heart and in your memory . sonny : connie . i want more . connie : i wish i had more to give . i love you , sonny . goodbye . sonny : [ sighs ] kiki : hey ! did you find your dad ? morgan : no , it was n't him . michael : where 's olivia ? sonny : connie ... i love you ... in this life and the next . olivia : sonny ! no !Summarize.[/INST]at franco 's arraignment , diane argues that franco 's tumor was responsible for his actions and asks for all charges to be dropped . the judge agrees that diane 's assertion warrants further consideration . the prosecutor says franco 's victims deserve consideration , too . carly stands up and identifies herself as one of franco 's victims . she takes the stand . in answering the judge 's questions , carly says she believes franco has changed in a positive way and that she has not seen any violent behavior , but that she would n't trust him with her children . she adds that she saw remorse and a desire to make amends . she says she saw him desperately want to help his nephew who has leukemia and to forge a relationship with the daughter whose mother kept her from him her whole life . she says she saw him at his lowest point , wanting to take his own life and that he did n't turn his anger toward anyone else . she says she wants to believe that franco can be a better man , but she is n't sure if this is just another one of his games . the judge says she needs a day to consider . she tells diane to bring a photograph instead of a real tumor in a jar next time .</s> | 11,455 |

john : well , perhaps you need a memory aid . see , here is a picture of you and a gentleman by the name of giorgis papadopoulos right outside his import / export business in athens . so obviously , you know the man . and apparently , you did business with him many years ago . brady : this would be the part where you start explaining things . summer : theresa ?

i ca n't wrap my arms around him , and ... and sometimes i wake up in the middle of the night and i 've forgotten that he 's gone .

[ laughs ] you want to know what books i read at night before i go to sleep ? dario : [ chuckles ] nicole : definitely not romance novels anymore . it 's more like , um , you know , how to go on living after someone you loved has died , or overcoming grief by living in the now , or something like that , i do n't know . [ laughs ] dario : well , these books , are they helping you ? nicole : i guess . they give advice . you know , words of encouragement from people who have been through it . but i guess time is the only thing that could help heal the pain . dario : time . nicole : mm - hmm . dario : and maybe falling in love again . you know , when you said before ... about being honest with daniel . even though you knew it was going to hurt him . that brought you closer together . i was impressed by that . nicole : why do i get the feeling we 're not talking about daniel anymore ? deimos : why ? what changed your mind ? victor : does it matter ? deimos : i 'm just curious . was it maggie ? victor : not just maggie . everybody thought it was a good idea . deimos : everybody but you . victor : i 'm tired of the fighting , deimos . i want it over . behind me . behind us . i want to enjoy my life again , spend time with my wife , who 's not filled with anger and anxiety over you . she deserves better . deimos : we agree on that . victor : so ... you give me back half my fortune and titan , and you keep this house and basic black . deimos : that was the deal . victor : you know , you 've been saying for some time now that you want to make amends . this offer is a good step in putting the past behind us . but if i 'm to move on with my life , i , uh ... i need to do the same thing . i accept my guilt . i was responsible for the argument that caused helena to lose her life . i was so hurt and angry by the fact that you stole her from me , that i let you spend 30 years in prison for a crime that you did n't commit . over the years , i convinced myself that i had done nothing wrong . now i know that i did . so the question is ... can we truly move on ? joey : dad ! what 're you doing ? steve : what 's it look like ? joey : tending bar is what it looks like . steve : yeah . i 'm not with black patch anymore . kayla : what 're you two doing together ? fynn : we just ran into each other , offered him coffee . kayla : that was nice of you .

theresa : i do n't know , i just have this very overpowering , overwhelming feeling that tate was here . i do n't know , call it a -- like , a strong connection , like a mother 's intuition . i just think this is where she brought him . that she had to have brought him here when she stole him from us that day . brady : summer has been denying that she took our son . i mean , why would she have us come to this room when she 's been trying so hard to convince us that she did n't ? summer : i know i 'm not wanted here by anyone . maggie : that 's not exactly true . summer : no , i 'm sure i 'm right . but i want you to know how much it meant for me to have met you and gotten to know you . and for a time , i felt an acceptance and affection from you that i have never experienced before . maggie : that was all genuine , summer . that time meant so much for me , too . summer : you do n't have to say that . maggie : i meant it . summer : i do want to say that i am sorry for everything i put you through . i am so sorry for the nightmare that brady and theresa are facing . i 'm sorry for coming between you and your husband and that he hates me so much . but i will never be sorry for having met you . maggie : [ cries ] deimos : i am genuinely sorry for the hell i put you and maggie through . will you accept my apology ? victor : no . deimos : no ? victor : you heard me . deimos : but you just said that you wanted to move on . victor : i could do that without accepting your apology . i can and i will discipline myself not to think about you one way or the other . deimos : i see . well , that 's disappointing . victor : you 'll get over it . deimos : victor ... i honestly want to wipe the slate clean . start fresh . so why do n't we at least do this , all right ? after maggie 's operation , once she can walk again , can we try to finally put all the terrible things between us behind us ? victor : i think what we can try is to stay out of each other 's way . i do n't need your brotherly devotion , and i 'm sure you can get along just fine without mine . you 've agreed to move on . let 's just leave it at that . kayla : i have talked to marlena , and i told her what 's going on with you , and the charges that you 're still facing . joey : did you tell her about jade ? how much you hate her ? kayla : joey , i do not hate her . she 's a kid . you know , i actually feel sorry for her . and i really hope that someday she can make something of her life . but i just do n't think that it 's helpful for you to be around people who do n't have any direction and they do n't have any goals . i mean , why would any mother want that for her son ? joey : why would any mother want her son to give up the girl he loves ? kayla : joey . this is about you and about your future . and about getting your life back on track , emotionally , with marlena 's help . and you know what ? to answer your question , yes i did tell her about jade , because i wanted to be honest with her , like i want you to be . joey : i ca n't take it anymore . i feel like i 'm gon na explode . it does n't ... nothing makes sense , it 's just -- everything 's so screwed up . it 's so screwed up . my family , jade , her family . sometimes i wonder if i 'm going insane . kayla : joey ... joey , listen to me . joey . you know what we 're gon na do ? we 're gon na see marlena , and we 're gon na get through this . joey : i do n't want to . kayla : and we 're gon na get you the counseling that you need , baby . joey : what about you ? when are you and dad gon na get the counseling you need ? fynn : if you 're gon na talk to me about kayla , you might as well just -- steve : no , no , no , no , no . i ca n't do anything about whatever 's going on between you and kayla . but i draw the line at you trying to use my son . fynn : that 's not what 's going on . i 'm sorry if you misunderstood . steve : oh , i do n't think i misunderstood anything . my boy is going through a rough time right now . and the last thing he needs is to be more confused by some guy sucking up to him because he 's trying to seduce his mother . dario : who do you think i 'm talking about ? deimos ? nicole : who else ? dario : well , his name is bound to come up every once in a while , given how you seem to feel about him . nicole : dario . i just got finished telling you how much i miss daniel , and i ca n't seem to wrap my head around the fact that he 's not coming back . i mean , even talking about some guy , i feel like i 'm betraying him somehow . dario : you think you can betray someone who 's not alive anymore ? nicole : actually , i 've been asking myself that question lately . dario : maybe i can help you ? the answer 's no . you ca n't . the only way you can betray someone who 's dead and that loved you is by shutting down . and giving up on your own life . and daniel would want you to find love again . do n't you think ? nicole : i console myself by believing that . you know , but sometimes i feel like ... it 's irrational , i know , but wherever he is , he would be terribly hurt and disappointed if i fell in love with someone else . and sometimes i feel like he wants me to wait for him . dario : you would be waiting your whole life , nicole . wasting your life . nicole : i know . when i snap out of it , i know . dario : [ sighs ] i 'm really glad that you feel like you can open up to me the way you do . and be so honest about what you 're thinking . and feeling . i want to be honest with you , too . about my thoughts and feelings . nicole : [ chuckles ] okay . so be honest . dario : [ sighs ] well , right now , i 'm thinking and feeling that i want to kiss you . nicole : dario , you are so sweet and understanding and attractive , but we 're just friends , that 's all . and i do n't want you ... i just do n't want to encourage you to think that there could be anything more . [ cell phone rings ] dario : you want to pick it up , do n't you ? [ cell phone ringing ] go on right ahead . [ cell phone ringing ] nicole : hello ? deimos : my life has taken a turn for the better since we last spoke . i want to tell you about it . nicole : this is n't a good time to talk . deimos : i need to see you in person . i think you 'll be very pleased . nicole : we 'll see . steve : let me be crystal clear -- i have no intention of giving up on kayla . joey : you guys are just as messed up as i am , you just wo n't admit it . it 's the truth . kayla : come on , joey . joey : dad 's trying to be something he 's not and you 're trying to pretend like you do n't even love him anymore , and you turn to fynn instead . kayla : i am not trying to pretend anything . joey : sure you are , it 's pretty obvious . kayla : i 'm just trying to not invite misery into my life . i mean , enough misery comes to you uninvited , as you know better than anybody . i 'm just trying to accept the fact that maybe your dad and i are just not compatible on a basic level . and although we still love each other , it 's just inevitable that eventually we will make each other very unhappy . joey : that sounds like a bunch of bull . `` we 're not compatible on a basic level . `` `` inevitable that we 'll make each other unhappy . `` you get that from a self - help book ? kayla : it 's not fair that you mock me , joey . joey : you know , it 's not fair to you or me or dad to pretend like i 'm the only one who has problems . this entire family 's screwed up and miserable . and they all need help . brady : summer promised . she promised to do everything she could to help us find our son . i mean ... is she bringing us here to help us find the real kidnapper ? what is she doing ? theresa : no ! i mean , maybe that 's what she wants us to think , but , brady , she threatened me because she knew that i was onto her , despite all of her efforts to throw us off . come on ... brady : hey , come here . i 'm sorry . you were right about summer , and i 'm sorry , i should have listened to you , all right ? i 'm sorry . theresa . oh , god , theresa , look at it . that 's his , is n't it ? that 's his . theresa : i knew it . god , i knew tate was here the whole time ! i mean , this means i was right . i was right , summer brought him here , and she -- brady : but obviously , she has n't been with him all the time , so she must 've delivered him to someone here . whoever was in this room on that day has our boy . | john and brady questioned deimos about being involved in tate 's kidnapping . deimos denied being involved . brady threatened to kill deimos if he found out that he took tate . theresa tried to get away from summer , but she tripped and hit her head on a table . summer panicked because she thought theresa was dead . summer ended up leaving theresa in the room by herself . steve wanted to start over with kayla . they ended up talking about joey . jade 's father did n't want jade to be with joey . fynn got involved when it looked like hal was fighting with joey . maggie ran into summer at the town square . victor went to deimos to accept his offer . | <s>[INST] kayla : you 're kidding me . steve : what 's your pleasure ? kayla : so this is really true ? you 're a bartender now ? steve : uh - huh . in a sedate club in a quiet neighborhood . you know , the light from adventure and danger would take about eight million years to reach this job . kayla : do you know what bartenders do ? they take orders . you hate taking orders . you will have to take orders and it will drive you crazy , and you will start smashing things . steve : that 's in my past , baby . come here . sit down . please ? come here . this is the first day of my new life . and i am gon na prove to you that there 's nothing more important to me in this world ... than getting you back . joey : i just -- i do n't get why you left . it was really great being with you . i wanted you to spend the whole night . jade : joey , there will be lots more nights . joey : look , i checked my mom 's schedule . she has a medical conference out of town next weekend , which means we can spend the whole weekend together . wake up together ... jade : you 're such a romantic . joey : you make me one . hal : get your filthy hands off my daughter . nicole : so did you have a good time at camp ? parker : yeah . it was pretty cool . nicole : awesome . parker : did you get the picture i sent you ? nicole : i sure did . but it looked like you were getting some kind of award . you did n't tell me what it was for . parker : swimming . i was the fastest minnow . nicole : what ? that 's awesome ! five it out . bam . parker : my dad was a good swimmer . nicole : i know . how 's your mom doing ? parker : better . she 's not as sad as she was . dario : so , nicole ... who 's the other man ? nicole : [ laughs ] deimos : the chopin group ? never heard of them . brady : we think they might be involved in my son 's kidnapping . deimos : brady ... i wish i can help you , but , as i said , i 've never heard of them . john : well , how about a man by the name of giorgis papadopoulos ? deimos : you do realize how common a name like that is in greece , right ? that 's like me asking you if you know george smith . john : yeah , well , this george smith runs an import / export business out of athens . deimos : there are literally dozens of import / export businesses in athens . brady : so you do n't even know one giorgis papadopoulos that does business in athens ? john : well , perhaps you need a memory aid . see , here is a picture of you and a gentleman by the name of giorgis papadopoulos right outside his import / export business in athens . so obviously , you know the man . and apparently , you did business with him many years ago . brady : this would be the part where you start explaining things . summer : theresa ? oh , my god , what have i done ? male announcer : like sands through the hourglass , so are the `` days of our lives . `` [ soft orchestration ] kayla : look , i know you think that you can do this job . but you ca n't . i was a bartender , i know it 's repetitive , it 's tedious . the customer 's always right . you have to listen and agree with any moron for the price of a drink . i think that you ... you will self - destruct . steve : no , i wo n't . kayla : people with short fuses should n't be bartenders . look , i know that you 're upset about this thing with fynn -- steve : no , come on -- kayla : but this is not the answer . steve : you know what , to hell with fynn . to hell with him . i know he wants you . but you still love me . and when i show you that i can change , you 'll be ready to admit it . kayla : this is n't about changing jobs . it 's about changing you as a person . it 's not possible . steve : watch me . kayla : and what happens when john calls you up , and he wants you to go undercover in , like , bangkok or something ? or you see some bully picking on somebody -- not that you could ever really turn your back in a situation like that , but just to say you did . eventually , you would resent me . for not letting you be ... you . steve : i 'm not me without you , sweetness . without my family . i ca n't lose you again . i wo n't . joey : hi , i 'm joey johnson . hal : you do n't think i know who you are , boy ? joey : look , i just want you to know , i care a lot about jade . and i do n't -- hal : you do n't give a damn about her . you ruined her . you put us through hell -- running away , breaking the law , jumping bail . she was never raised like that . jade : dad , i was n't raised at all . hal : you know what , do n't start with me . this is your fault . jade : no , it is n't , okay ? it was n't his idea to run away , it was mine . hal : well , then you should 've stopped her ! she 's had problems before , but she 's never been in trouble with the law till she met you . but now you 're coming home -- joey : hey , now you keep your filthy hands off her ! deimos : yes , that is me . and i 'll take your word that 's papadopoulos . but i did business with a lot of people . i really do n't remember him . john : the man has ties to the greek mob . deimos : again , i 'll take your word for it . but if i did business with this man , it was over 30 years ago . back then , i was totally legit . you do know the reason i went to prison had nothing to do with business , right ? your grandfather lied , and i was found guilty of murdering the woman i loved . if that man has any connection whatsoever to this kidnapping , i know nothing about it . john : well , you know , you 're gon na have to forgive me if i do n't just take your word for it . now , if there 's a connection , i 'm gon na find it . so i think you 'd be better off if you just told us right now , because you 'd save us all a lot of time and heartache , you know ? deimos : is that how it 's gon na be from now on ? every crime , every injustice against the kiriakis family is immediately attributed to me ? brady : i think that started when you decided to poison maggie . deimos : i know i ca n't make you believe this , but i would never have anything to do with having an innocent child kidnapped . never . summer : oh , thank god . thank god . okay , theresa . theresa . theresa ? no , i ca n't ... sorry . every year we look for a better way nicole : this is daniel 's son , parker . parker , this is my friend , dario . dario : hey . parker . i 'm sorry , i should n't have interrupted . looks like you guys were having a pretty serious conversation . nicole : well , it 's okay . actually , i was just gon na tell parker that i would love for him and his mom to come over for dinner sometime soon . parker : chicken fingers ? nicole : uh , they 're your favorite , are n't they ? dario : uh , they 're everybody 's favorite . parker : can you come , too ? dario : yeah , if nicole wants me to . parker : please ? deimos : as i told your grandfather , i know it 's gon na take some time before all of you trust me after what i did . brady : you are very right about that . deimos : and if i knew something , brady , i would certainly tell you , but i do n't . you 're wasting your time here with me . but i do hope to god that you find your son . and soon . brady : deimos ... if you 're lying to me , i will come back here , and i will kill you . theresa : [ gasping ] [ breathing heavily ] [ cell phone ringing ] brady : theresa , where are you ? theresa : summer 's room . she attacked me , brady . she 's gone . brady : we 're on our way . steve : can you tell me what 's going on with joe ? i do n't know if he 's deliberately avoiding me , or if he 's just busy , but i have n't talked to him in a while . kayla : things have n't been very good . we fight all the time about jade . he wanted her to move in with us when her parents kicked her out . i said no . steve : yeah . well , i know it 's hard for you , but i think you ... i do n't know , you need to cool it about jade . nicole : really ? what , like make the guest room up for her ? steve : no , no , i mean , just be careful what you say about her to joe . when you trash her , it just makes him more defensive . okay , listen , i 'll tell you what . i 'll keep calling him . you should n't have to handle all this on your own . kayla : i think it 's bigger than just the two of us helping him . last night , i heard him crying in his sleep . steve : what ? kayla : he 's still having those nightmares about ava . and he wo n't see the therapist that he saw before . steve : well , he 's got to see someone . kayla : i know . that 's why i made an appointment with marlena tonight . steve : good . jade : tell me something , hal , okay ? when did you decide to start being a dad ? hal : look , your mom wants you home now , and i 'm gon na take you home . get you away from this little creep . joey : hey , you know what 's creepy ? kicking your own daughter out of the house and then showing up to drag her back . you ca n't just be a dad when you feel like it . hal : you do n't know what you 're talking about . joey : i know you 're a terrible father ! hal : i never laid a finger on her ! joey : you made her life miserable ! did that make you feel like a man ? putting her down ? hal : look , you little jerk -- joey : newsflash , neither one of us gives a damn about what you think . you ca n't keep up apart . hal : somebody needs to teach you -- fynn : what the hell is going on here , huh ? brady : theresa , are you okay ? are you -- what happened to you ? do you need an ambulance ? theresa : brady , stop ! do n't worry about me , we need to find summer . maggie : summer ? are you running away again ? summer : you 'll all be happy to know that i 'm leaving . maggie : what is this really all about ? deimos : victor ? victor : bad time ? deimos : not at all . wo n't you come in ? victor : no , we can talk right here . deimos : about ?

you 're in enough trouble as it is with the law . hal : so is my daughter , thanks to him ! jade : why do n't you calm down , okay ? we 'll find someplace to talk . hal : not around him . jade : fine . joey : no . jade : joey . he 's right . you calm down , i 'll handle my dad . hal : you ai n't gon na handle me , girl ! fynn : are you sure ? jade : yeah . come on . joey : no , jade , wait . jade ! fynn : joey , joey , she 's right , okay ? just cool down , man . tell me what happened . joey : nothing happened . her dad showed up looking for her . he 's a total jerk . fynn : come on , i 'll get you some coffee , you can tell me about it . joey : there 's nothing to tell ! fynn : damn it , joey ! you 're still facing charges , vandalizing that car and jumping bail . you think you need any more trouble ? come on . brady : okay , tell me what happened after you left . theresa : um , well , the first thing i did was , i got rid of the pi , 'cause i wanted to speak to her privately , and , um ... i told her what i told you . that i remembered seeing her , that she had the hat and the sunglasses , and that shirt , and the more i said , the more she freaked out , because she knew that i was right , and she said -- that bitch said that i did n't deserve you and tate and then she threatened me and so i turned to run away and escape , and i tripped and i hit my head and , i ... i do n't know , that 's all i can remember before i came to -- brady : listen , listen , you did hit your head , and we need to get you checked out . theresa : no , brady , we have to find summer ! she knows that i know . i mean , look around -- like , she took all of her stuff . she knows where tate is . brady : `` salem inn , room 1019 . `` theresa : okay , john , you need to go track down summer ; and , brady , we 're gon na go to that room . deimos : that parker ... sweet kid . nicole : yes , he is . i see a lot of daniel in him . dario : yeah . nicole : not just in his eyes and his smile , but in his sweet little heart . you know , there were times when i was with parker when daniel had to work late . we would just hang out , the two of us , and you know , sometimes , i feel sad or upset , and of course i try to cover it up , but oh no , he sensed it . he totally could tell . and , you know , he would just say things to me like , `` nicole , how can i make you feel better ? i just want to make you feel happy . `` really ? he 's so sweet , he 's so cute . deimos : well , he obviously loves you . nicole : oh , i love that kid like crazy . and i am so glad that he 's around melanie , too . you know , 'cause it feels like part of daniel lives on in them , you know ? and it 's really comforting . dario : i 'm sure . nicole : when i woke up this morning , uh ... i found myself thinking about a year ago today . that was a day when i handled things differently than i would 've in the past . i did something to daniel that would 've hurt him . but instead of lying and trying to hide it , i actually told the truth . and i thought that i was gon na lose him forever . but it actually brought us closer together . that 's when things began for us . he still wanted to marry me . become a family together . be together for the rest of our lives . dario : i know how much you miss him . nicole : yeah , especially at night , you know , when there 's no distractions and i 'm just lying in bed , and ... and it just feels so wrong that he 's not there with me , you know ? i ca n't wrap my arms around him , and ... and sometimes i wake up in the middle of the night and i 've forgotten that he 's gone . [ laughs ] because i 'm still , you know , kind of asleep , and so i roll over to his side of the bed , and i try to cuddle with him , and then ... and then i remember what happened , and i -- i 'm sorry . dario : no , do n't be sorry . nicole : it 's like a shock all over again , every time . dario : it must be so hard . nicole : oh . you have no idea . [ laughs ] you want to know what books i read at night before i go to sleep ? dario : [ chuckles ] nicole : definitely not romance novels anymore . it 's more like , um , you know , how to go on living after someone you loved has died , or overcoming grief by living in the now , or something like that , i do n't know . [ laughs ] dario : well , these books , are they helping you ? nicole : i guess . they give advice . you know , words of encouragement from people who have been through it . but i guess time is the only thing that could help heal the pain . dario : time . nicole : mm - hmm . dario : and maybe falling in love again . you know , when you said before ... about being honest with daniel . even though you knew it was going to hurt him . that brought you closer together . i was impressed by that . nicole : why do i get the feeling we 're not talking about daniel anymore ? deimos : why ? what changed your mind ? victor : does it matter ? deimos : i 'm just curious . was it maggie ? victor : not just maggie . everybody thought it was a good idea . deimos : everybody but you . victor : i 'm tired of the fighting , deimos . i want it over . behind me . behind us . i want to enjoy my life again , spend time with my wife , who 's not filled with anger and anxiety over you . she deserves better . deimos : we agree on that . victor : so ... you give me back half my fortune and titan , and you keep this house and basic black . deimos : that was the deal . victor : you know , you 've been saying for some time now that you want to make amends . this offer is a good step in putting the past behind us . but if i 'm to move on with my life , i , uh ... i need to do the same thing . i accept my guilt . i was responsible for the argument that caused helena to lose her life . i was so hurt and angry by the fact that you stole her from me , that i let you spend 30 years in prison for a crime that you did n't commit . over the years , i convinced myself that i had done nothing wrong . now i know that i did . so the question is ... can we truly move on ? joey : dad ! what 're you doing ? steve : what 's it look like ? joey : tending bar is what it looks like . steve : yeah . i 'm not with black patch anymore . kayla : what 're you two doing together ? fynn : we just ran into each other , offered him coffee . kayla : that was nice of you . [ cell phone ringing ] fynn : excuse me . kayla : joey ... i need you to do something with me tonight . joey : mom , i ca n't , i 'm sorry . i had a bad day , and i do n't really feel like -- steve : joe , hang on a second . your mom and i need to talk to you about something . we 're very concerned about you . there 's some things that you need to deal with that you have n't . and i know you went to a therapist after what happened with ava . but then you let it drop . i know you have n't wanted to talk about it . but we 're afraid that the more you avoid talking about what you went through , the deeper the scars can get . so your mom made an appointment for you for tonight with dr. evans . joey : mom ! steve : you have to go . we 're insisting on it . joey : guess i do n't have a choice then , right ? steve : no . joey : well ... looks like we 're gon na have to get coffee another time . steve : hey , fynn . hold up a minute . brady : this better not be summer playing another game , distracting us while she runs away again . theresa : that 's why i asked your dad to track her down . brady : there 's nothing here . there 's nothing . theresa : yeah , but brady , i have this feeling . this -- brady : what are you talking about ? theresa : i do n't know , i just have this very overpowering , overwhelming feeling that tate was here . i do n't know , call it a -- like , a strong connection , like a mother 's intuition . i just think this is where she brought him . that she had to have brought him here when she stole him from us that day . brady : summer has been denying that she took our son . i mean , why would she have us come to this room when she 's been trying so hard to convince us that she did n't ? summer : i know i 'm not wanted here by anyone . maggie : that 's not exactly true . summer : no , i 'm sure i 'm right . but i want you to know how much it meant for me to have met you and gotten to know you . and for a time , i felt an acceptance and affection from you that i have never experienced before . maggie : that was all genuine , summer . that time meant so much for me , too . summer : you do n't have to say that . maggie : i meant it . summer : i do want to say that i am sorry for everything i put you through . i am so sorry for the nightmare that brady and theresa are facing . i 'm sorry for coming between you and your husband and that he hates me so much . but i will never be sorry for having met you . maggie : [ cries ] deimos : i am genuinely sorry for the hell i put you and maggie through . will you accept my apology ? victor : no . deimos : no ? victor : you heard me . deimos : but you just said that you wanted to move on . victor : i could do that without accepting your apology . i can and i will discipline myself not to think about you one way or the other . deimos : i see . well , that 's disappointing . victor : you 'll get over it . deimos : victor ... i honestly want to wipe the slate clean . start fresh . so why do n't we at least do this , all right ? after maggie 's operation , once she can walk again , can we try to finally put all the terrible things between us behind us ? victor : i think what we can try is to stay out of each other 's way . i do n't need your brotherly devotion , and i 'm sure you can get along just fine without mine . you 've agreed to move on . let 's just leave it at that . kayla : i have talked to marlena , and i told her what 's going on with you , and the charges that you 're still facing . joey : did you tell her about jade ? how much you hate her ? kayla : joey , i do not hate her . she 's a kid . you know , i actually feel sorry for her . and i really hope that someday she can make something of her life . but i just do n't think that it 's helpful for you to be around people who do n't have any direction and they do n't have any goals . i mean , why would any mother want that for her son ? joey : why would any mother want her son to give up the girl he loves ? kayla : joey . this is about you and about your future . and about getting your life back on track , emotionally , with marlena 's help . and you know what ? to answer your question , yes i did tell her about jade , because i wanted to be honest with her , like i want you to be . joey : i ca n't take it anymore . i feel like i 'm gon na explode . it does n't ... nothing makes sense , it 's just -- everything 's so screwed up . it 's so screwed up . my family , jade , her family . sometimes i wonder if i 'm going insane . kayla : joey ... joey , listen to me . joey . you know what we 're gon na do ? we 're gon na see marlena , and we 're gon na get through this . joey : i do n't want to . kayla : and we 're gon na get you the counseling that you need , baby . joey : what about you ? when are you and dad gon na get the counseling you need ? fynn : if you 're gon na talk to me about kayla , you might as well just -- steve : no , no , no , no , no . i ca n't do anything about whatever 's going on between you and kayla . but i draw the line at you trying to use my son . fynn : that 's not what 's going on . i 'm sorry if you misunderstood . steve : oh , i do n't think i misunderstood anything . my boy is going through a rough time right now . and the last thing he needs is to be more confused by some guy sucking up to him because he 's trying to seduce his mother . dario : who do you think i 'm talking about ? deimos ? nicole : who else ? dario : well , his name is bound to come up every once in a while , given how you seem to feel about him . nicole : dario . i just got finished telling you how much i miss daniel , and i ca n't seem to wrap my head around the fact that he 's not coming back . i mean , even talking about some guy , i feel like i 'm betraying him somehow . dario : you think you can betray someone who 's not alive anymore ? nicole : actually , i 've been asking myself that question lately . dario : maybe i can help you ? the answer 's no . you ca n't . the only way you can betray someone who 's dead and that loved you is by shutting down . and giving up on your own life . and daniel would want you to find love again . do n't you think ? nicole : i console myself by believing that . you know , but sometimes i feel like ... it 's irrational , i know , but wherever he is , he would be terribly hurt and disappointed if i fell in love with someone else . and sometimes i feel like he wants me to wait for him . dario : you would be waiting your whole life , nicole . wasting your life . nicole : i know . when i snap out of it , i know . dario : [ sighs ] i 'm really glad that you feel like you can open up to me the way you do . and be so honest about what you 're thinking . and feeling . i want to be honest with you , too . about my thoughts and feelings . nicole : [ chuckles ] okay . so be honest . dario : [ sighs ] well , right now , i 'm thinking and feeling that i want to kiss you . nicole : dario , you are so sweet and understanding and attractive , but we 're just friends , that 's all . and i do n't want you ... i just do n't want to encourage you to think that there could be anything more .

[ scene_break ] liam : this is so not a good idea . steffy : you know , the bedroom line needs a spokesmodel . and now that ivy 's been rehired thanks to my wonderful granddad ... liam : yeah , which is what this is really about , is n't it ? because you would n't have rehired ivy . steffy : the point is she 's here . she 's free . she 's available . why not put her front and center ? i mean , she 's wanted to be the face of forrester , so much so that she blackmailed me for the position . so , not only will she be the face of the bedroom line , she will show off her entire body . what 's the problem here ? liam : you do realize ivy 's not like you , right ? i mean , she 's shy . prancing around in tiny underwear in front of cameras is not exactly her thing . steffy : she 'll get over it . liam : yeah , or she 'll die trying . steffy : [ chuckles ] she 'll be fine . liam : you keep saying that , steffy , but what if she 's not ? steffy : you have nothing to worry about . liam : i know what you 're doing . steffy : what ? liam : you are making ivy 's life a living hell , because you can . steffy : [ sighs ] [ scene_break ] rick : surrogacy . maya : i want our child to be part of you , ideally part of both of us . what do you think ? rick : i think that would be great . but it ca n't really happen . maya : maybe it can . i 've been reading online about surrogacy . and obviously our situation is unique , but it -- it might not be impossible . would you be willing ? rick : yeah . first we 'd have to find a suitable surrogate mother , someone we trust , someone who 's comfortable with us , someone we 're comfortable with . maya : i - i might be a step ahead of you . rick : have you already contacted someone ? maya : no , no . i would n't do that without talking to you first . but i do have someone in mind . rick : someone that we know ? maya : someone who would make it possible for our baby to be both avant and forrester , who has the genes and the eggs -- the only person who could really do that for us . rick : uh , you 're talking about ... maya : would you be okay with that ? rick : well , i have n't really -- have n't really thought about it . i think it would be a great answer . maya : i think so , too .

[ scene_break ] wyatt : ivy ? you okay in there ? yeah . there it is . let 's get it . yeah . [ door opens ] ivy : [ chuckles ] wyatt : wow . ivy : [ chuckles ] wyatt : you look ... wow . ivy : thanks . where we you when i was battling all my body issues ? wyatt : trust me . you won that battle . and then some . look at this . ivy : yeah , i -- it 's just -- look , modeling this in front of my boyfriend is one thing , but in front of photographers , on a runway , on television ... do you actually think i can do this ? wyatt : not only can you do this , you are gon na be the sexiest spokesmodel forrester has ever seen . ivy : [ sighs ] wyatt : steffy who ? brooke what ? ivy : [ chuckles ] wyatt : that is nonsense . okay . and i 'm not trying to pressure you . ivy : mm - hmm . wyatt : i promise . ivy : mm - hmm . wyatt : this is totally your , like -- this is your decision . but in my unbiased opinion ...

[ scene_break ] nicole : are you sure i 'm not interrupting something ? maya : actually , you are . nicole : well , then , i will head back to the office . maya : no , no , no , no . you live here , and besides , we wanted to talk to you about something . nicole : okay ... rick : your sister and i were just discussing our future . maya : obviously , we 're very happy together . and if our lives stayed the way they were right now , i would still feel so blessed . nicole : listen , i do n't know what this is about , but i -- maya : it 's about family . it 's about sisters and how close we 've become and ... how much i love you . nicole : i love you , too . maya : and i know i was n't always there for you , but i am now . nicole : me , too . whatever you need . maya : i hope you mean that . rick : nicole , what would you say if maya and i told you that we 're having a baby ? nicole : what ? maya : rick and i want to start a family of our own . nicole : really ? maya : yeah . we 're -- we 're both ready for it , and -- and it 's something that we 've been looking into . nicole : wow . that 's awesome . i mean , you two would be great parents . and with all of the kids that need adopting -- maya : well , yeah . adoption is a way to go . but we 're also thinking about surrogacy so that our little one can be part rick . nicole : a forrester child . maya : and i wanted to tell you first because of how much you mean to me and all of the support that you 've given me and -- and how you 've defended me and nicole : hey . what are little sisters for ? besides , you 're the brave one . if anyone deserves to have their dreams come true , including a baby -- maya : a baby with both of our genes -- rick 's and mine -- so that it can be completely part of our family . nicole : right , i mean , that 's certainly doable for rick . only it 's not really possible for you . rick : that 's what i thought , too , until your sister suggested otherwise . nicole : i do n't understand . maya : a baby that is part avant and part forrester . and since i ca n't do that ... honey , i - i know that you 're young , and you just moved to la , and you 're just starting your life . and i know that this is a huge thing for me to ask . but it would be the best and biggest gift that you could possibly give me . would you be my surrogate ? would you have our baby ?Summarize.[/INST]zende and nicole share kisses at work and he teases her about the other interns he has kissed . maya springs the news on rick that she is ready to start a family and she 'd like a baby . rick thinks that is fine and says he has already been looking into adoption since it worked out so well with zende . she agrees but asks how he would feel abut surrogacy as then it would be part of both of them . ivy assures steffy that she will do whatever she wants . steffy hands her a little almost nothing and tells her to get ready to walk the runway , she will model the bedroom lingerie line . ivy shows it to wyatt and says it was steffy 's idea , classic and she walked straight into it . she is scared of staring at everyone in her underwear . wyatt says this is exactly the reaction steffy wants out of her , pulling her strings . she should not let her do that . she is gorgeous and ivy does not have to be self conscious . whatever she wears will fly off the shelves . he dares her to put the outfit on or he will . liam is shocked that steffy assumed ivy would want to do this or die trying . he knows what she is doing making ivy 's life a living hell just because she can . she 's having too much fun .</s> | 5,600 |

[ scene_break ] maxie : so , what kind of incriminating evidence are we looking for ? spinelli : something we can use to end the destructive affair between stone cold and the slavic seductress . maxie : spinelli , do n't you think you 're overreacting ? i mean , jason 's not even sleeping with sasha . spinelli : okay , stone cold 's repeated denials may have convinced maximista , but the jackal sees the torrid truth that lies beneath . it is evident that the master is throwing caution to the wind , seeking solace by courting oblivion . but the thing is , this affair could get him killed . oh . [ scene_break ] sonny : looks like the coffee business has its best number in years , thank you very much . max : congratulations , mr. c . sonny : nothing more from karpov , right ? max : it looks like he 's going to let you pull out of your deal with him without any consequences . kate : so i have to say , it 's a little over the top , but it has a kitschy sort of charm , and i think it might be made out of solid gold , so in the right spot , i could learn to love it . sonny : what are you talking about ? kate : the wedding gift that was just delivered from your friend , andrei karpov .

[ scene_break ] sonny : the woman who was here the other day , right ? sasha donev -- she 's andrei karpov 's attorney . kate : so karpov is the man with mob ties who lied to you ? begs the question , why 'd you get involved with him in the first place ? sonny : it was a simple , legitimate business arrangement , and he came here , and we negotiated a deal . kate : mm - hmm , to distribute coffee beans to eastern europe ? sonny : andrei karpov misrepresented himself from start to finish . i -- i acted in good faith , and i realized that the deal was bait to pull me back into the life , and i -- i said no , we 're done . and then , you know , i do n't have to deal with it anymore . kate : and he let you ? sonny : well , he 's not happy . that -- you know , that wedding present is not a gift . it 's probably a reminder that i blew the deal . kate : well , i 'm sorry it did n't work out for you . i wish you had told me . sonny : i was doing everything with good intentions , and , you know , i wanted everything to work out for everybody , and i just took karpov at his word , and i -- i should have done more research . kate : mm - hmm . well , then , it 's good you sent the wedding gift back , right ? sonny : okay , yeah , yeah . kate : i 'm glad that you stuck to your principles , that you recognize that we have enough , so you do n't have to go back to the mob . but what i 'm most grateful about is that i do n't have to worry at night that you 're going to be dragged back into the danger . [ scene_break ] maxie : everything spinelli does is out of loyalty to you . spinelli : okay , it 's kind of maximista to speak for the jackal , but he must take -- maxie : he 's the best friend you have . has he or has he not done everything you 've ever asked him to do , jason , without one complaint ? spinelli : maximista 's observations are genuine but not necessarily -- maxie : i ca n't count the number of times he 's broken the law for you doing all that hacking stuff . it 's not exactly like he 's a risk - taker by nature . so if he 's worried about you , i just think you should listen to him . jason : spinelli , i appreciate your concern . you 're right . i 'm handling a lot right now , but am not sleeping with karpov 's attorney . maxie : great , now that that 's finished , we can talk about something else , like lulu . i went to visit her at shadybrook yesterday . she 's about one good therapy session away from spilling the beans , and if that happens , i will be arrested for accessory to murder . i though you said you were going to fix this , and now would probably be a good time . jason : i 'll see what i can do . you , stop researching sasha , and please finish that project i asked you to do . maxie : i 'm really sorry , spinelli . i hope you were n't offended . i was n't trying to say that you were wrong . i was just trying to explain that you were mistaken about that whole jason and sasha having sex thing . spinelli : it is maximista who is mistaken . she has been deceived by stone cold 's ability to cover up his secret pain , but it is apparent to the discerning observer . witness how stone cold doth protest too much . he is ensnared by the slavic seductress , and nothing good lies down that road . [ scene_break ] alexis : scott , this is my case to prosecute , and i ca n't let you jeopardize it by confusing all the issues . scott : there 's no confusion . this punk killed my son , end of story . alexis : it 's a conflict of interest for you , and any effort that you make to get him convicted is going to end up in appeals court . scott : conflict of interest ? come on , alexis . trevor lansing is the grandfather of your child , not to mention the fact that you have pretty much jumped into bed with every mobster in this town or you 've worked for them , so you see , i want to make sure that my son gets justice . alexis : you 're a grieving father , and for that , you have all my sympathies . in fact , this office has given you a lot of leeway out of respect for your loss . but scott , the law is the law , and i ca n't have you twist things around for your own sense of revenge . scott : what are you -- alexis , you looking for some kind of a loophole so that you can let johnny walk ? alexis : no , scott , i 'm trying to do my job . scott : well , then do your job . subpoena lulu spencer as a hostile witness . alexis : i 'm not going to discuss my legal strategy in front of john here . if you have a suggestion , and i 'm sure you do -- send a memo . i will give it my -- my fullest consideration . scott : yeah . alexis : i 'll try to keep him out of here from now on . johnny : if lulu 's forced to testify , it could push her right over the edge .

[ door slams ] [ scene_break ] spinelli : i 'm sorry . how can my appreciation for the divine one possibly hurt maximista ? lulu : you 're going on and on about brenda , just like how you did about maxie , so it just makes her feel unappreciated . spinelli : i was devoted to my non - wife . it was maximista who withdrew her feelings and has since taken up with the glib and depressingly shallow dr. hunter for reasons that i will never comprehend . lulu : i know . maxie hurt you . spinelli : yes . my parting with maximista was most painful . but ... i have seen light , love , and happiness at the end of the proverbial tunnel . lulu : you 're falling in love with brenda ? spinelli : one of the tenets of courtly love is utter devotion to an unattainable lady . and the divine one sits high atop a glorious throne of unattainability . and she has captured the jackal 's wounded heart and made it whole again . lulu : well , maybe that 's what this is . you 're so hurt about losing maxie that you 're trying too quickly to replace her . spinelli : love does not conform to the laws of time . lulu : i just think that you 're rebounding , and you 're making brenda so perfect -- spinelli : if you would just take the time to meet the former mrs. stone cold , you would quickly realize that she more than warrants my devotion .

[ scene_break ] iris : now , i 'm no lawyer , but it seems to me that if you plan on taking a newborn baby from his mama 's arms , you 're gon na have to prove that you 're qualified . and once they find out what you 've done , how you killed my boy , no judge in his right mind will give you custody . iris : where 's the baby ? you were supposed to stay with him ! where is he ? where 's my boy ? carly : what do you want ? iris : it 's about what you want , carly . and what you 're willing to do to get it . [ scene_break ] margo : i 'm not really , um -- i do n't think i understand this . you 're telling me that casey is the father of your child ? gwen : i 'm really sorry , mrs. hughes . you and mr. hughes have been so nice to me and i never meant for you to find out like this . casey : why come here ? huh ? why bring it up ? gwen : because i did n't have a choice . casey : that 's a lie . you could 've let them keep the baby . you 're not even fit to raise it anyway . tom : casey ! that 's enough . casey : it was all solved . all she had to do was leave it alone . but no , you had to go and get yourself an attorney and drag me into it . margo : just tell me this is a mistake , honey . just tell me this is a mistake . tom : son ? gwen : the way it happened , it was an accident . casey : shut up , gwen . just stay out of it ! [ scene_break ] lucinda : i -- i have a rather a lot of -- acquaintance with hospitals . maybe i should watch my step . what makes this one different ? bev : well , this place , they do an extremely detailed work - up . then they set a course of treatment that could involve anything from oxygen or metabolic therapies , hyperthermia , detoxification or nutritional therapies . they 're all designed to inhibit the cancer and to stimulate healing . lucinda : inhibit the cancer ? i 've read about that . i know that , i mean , keep the cancer cells asleep or whatever . but it -- no , it 's too nice . too simplistic . bev : well , my experience may not be every patient 's experience , but after my first stay at the clinic i -- i felt better . i know my body pretty well . and i swear to you that i could feel the tumors shrinking . i know i looked better . and my energy was back . lucinda : of course , i 've had a lumpectomy and a clear margin . darling , you 're so -- you 're so young . and who 's to say that you would n't have just self- healed anyway ? bev : no one . and -- and maybe the traditional approach , the chemo and the radiation , is right for you . i know it 's what meg would recommend . but it was n't for me . i just -- i could n't face the side effects . [ scene_break ] lily : the doctors have given mother a very good prognosis . they got the mass , the margins are clear and the chemo is just to make sure they catch anything they missed . i think this meltdown that mother had is more about losing control than about fear of the cancer . we just ha to expect we 're going to have good days and bad days and just help her through them . sierra : right . well , maybe this massage today will help . we should get going , see how she 's doing . lily : you know , before we go , can i ask you a question ? have you had a mammogram recently ? sierra : well , to tell you the truth , i 've never had one . lily : really ? sierra : my doctor in montega thought that it was n't necessary at my age . lily : well , my doctor here says i should start getting them regularly . i thought maybe the two of us could go together for an appointment . sierra : i 'd like that . lily : and it 's good for our health , but we 'll also be supporting mother . sierra : right . right . you know , lily , i do n't say it that often , but i love you . i 'm really glad we 're in this together . lily : i love you , too . lily : she 's going to be all right , our mom . just believe it .

[ scene_break ] tom : gwen , we obviously need to have a conversation with our son . gwen : i understand . just know that i did n't want this to happen . i really did n't . but the court is going to contact you . or maybe just casey . either way , the judge wants to speak to him . tom : okay . then thank you for letting us know . casey : do n't look at me like that . margo : how am i supposed to look at you ? that girl -- and she is still just a little girl -- had a child all by herself . she put it up for adoption all by herself . she went to court all by herself . so forgive me if i 'm having a little trouble with all of this , but casey , you abandoned someone that you had been intimate with . that is so cowardly . that is cruel ! we did n't raise you to be a person like that you turned your back on your own son . casey : i did n't do that . margo : you did n't help her . you did n't stand up and take responsibility . you did n't come to us . casey : that 's because i did n't know ! first i did n't know she was pregnant . and then when i did know , will said he was the father . and then she said she was giving it up for adoption . i did n't have anything to do with any of it . margo : wait a minute . so -- so what are you saying ? are you saying , then , that you are not the father ? casey : right . i 'm not . i 'm not the father . [ scene_break ] carly : i 'm not playing games with you , iris . tell me straight out what you want , or this conversation is over . iris : when i read about your poor sister in a coma , i thought it was so sad . it 's like sleepin ' beauty or something . carly : my sister will recover . it 's just a matter of time . iris : which is why you want to take care of her kid . and that 's very , very noble of you . taking care of another woman 's child because you 're hoping that someday she 's going to wake up and you 're going to dress him in a little t - shirt and shorts and you 're going to bring him to the hospital . and your sister , she 'll laugh and she 'll cry and she 'll kiss you from today until next sunday and be real , real grateful . carly : what are you implying ? iris : just that you want to do the right thing by your sister . and it 'd be a shame if anything were to mess it up . in fact , i bet you would do just about anything to keep that birth mother from taking back that kid . which is what she would do if she knew what i knew . you been to the mall lately ? you know , the president says things are getting better , but i swear , prices are goin ' nowhere but up . i have n't bought myself a new dress in months . carly : you want money . iris : is that what i said ? i thought we were just havin ' a conversation . carly : about what i would be willing to do to keep your mouth shut ? well , the answer is nothing . except maybe call my husband and tell him that you just tried to blackmail me . iris : you know , you 're probably right . i 'm just thinking about myself . when that poor girl is in there just sweating it out , trying to get back her kid . do you know how upset she would be if she knew that her son was living with a baby killer ? do you know what that tells me ? that tells me that i 've got a civic duty to tell that poor girl . now , you would n't happen to have her name and address , would you ? carly : will ? what are you doing here ? will : i forgot my bag . not that it 's any of your business . iris : um , excuse me , young man . were you in that courtroom today ? carly : he has nothing to do with this . will : yeah . i was . why ? are you involved ? iris : well , you could say that . [ scene_break ] meg : i surprised you . dusty : you always do . meg : you see , you have n't been married before . i have . so it takes some time to get over it , even if the divorce is n't messy , which mine was . so i 'm not quite ready to open myself up . and it has nothing to do with you . you are a great guy . it 's me . i just want some time to think of me for a change , you know ? see how that feels . dusty : uh - hmm . so the other night , what was that about ? meg : oh , was i being too girlfriendy ? i 'm sorry . i just wanted to have an easy evening . you know , dinner at home . maybe spend an hour or two with someone 's undivided attention . i guess i was greedy , but we have fun when we have fun . dusty : we certainly do . meg : and the setting -- the farm , all those childhood memories -- dusty : your mother . meg : well , she means well . dusty : she thinks you can do better . meg : well , i 'm not ready to do anything more than what i 'm already doing . dusty : that 's good . i 'm glad we talked . meg : yeah , me , too . so we 'll keep it loose . and if we want to get together on the spur of the moment , that 'll be great . for instance , tonight . i do n't know if you 're free -- dusty : no , i 've got a lot of calls to make , actually . you know , while the rest of the world is still awake . meg : what 's -- what 's this ? i thought street jeans was jeans . dusty : we 're diversifying . meg : wow . dusty : those are just prototypes . meg : these are beautiful . is this silk ? dusty : i do n't know what that is , i mean , it 's a microfiber . you can roll it up in a ball and it still looks great . meg : it 's wonderful . is this your idea , adding the dresses ? dusty : yeah , it was . you know , jeans are nice , but it 's good to see a woman on a dress -- or in a dress . or out of a dress . meg : well , a dress does make you feel different . you know , it gives you a whole different feel . influences the way you move . you ca n't hide much in a dress . do n't you have work to do ? dusty : well , which one do you like best ? meg : well , they 're all beautiful . dusty : well , pick one . i want you to have one . meg : you 're kidding . well , this is going to take some time . do you have time ? dusty : yeah .

[ laughing ] what ? you look so skeptical . adrienne : uh , no . no , not about that . it just -- well , you -- you -- you -- the way you 're smiling , you ... something is different . brady : actually , i 'm not sure why ej did n't try to blow my head off when he had the chance , but , uh , he did n't . victor : brady , this is very serious . brady : it 's very , very serious . he had a gun . victor : he what ? brady : it was mine , actually . taylor had taken it from me when she hit me over the head with a vase . victor : good god . wait . so she basically handed your gun to ej ? she wanted him to use it ? brady : no , i think this was her way of testing whether ej was reformed or not . victor : [ sighs ] very dangerous test . brady : i agree , but he passed , and i 'm still here . oh , and then he , uh ... he gave me the gun back . victor : he did ? brady : sure did . victor : he say why ? brady : he said he wanted to play fair the next time . victor : so he threatened you ? brady : one could make a case for that theory i suppose . victor : [ scoffs ] this has gone far enough . brady : oh , hell , there 's always tomorrow , right ? victor : just stop it , brady . we have to solve this problem once and for all . roman : a woman was attacked last night . she was beaten and stabbed in the stomach . hope : my god . roman : she 's a prostitute with a record , and the uniform on the scene says , uh , that she 's not saying much of anything about what happened to her . bo : you think she knew her attacker ? roman : no idea , but i need you two to canvass the crime scene and try to get her to talk , okay ? and we need this case closed very quickly . hope : we 're on it . can i take a look at that ? bo : we 'll be in touch . roman : all right . rafe : well , all my cases are cleared . so what can i do to help ? roman : i did give that case to bo and hope , but i need you to do something else . maggie : uh , i suppose something is different . adrienne : maggie ... have you met someone ? maggie : i met him a long time ago . adrienne : you and victor ? maggie : is it really that much of a shock ? adrienne : oh , not a -- not a shock , no . well , just , you know , you two always seemed to have something come up between you that kept you from getting more serious . maggie : yeah , we did . i , um ... i was ambivalent about being involved with someone , and he was , too -- i mean , for very different reasons . um , mine was that i just ... felt disloyal to mickey . to care about another man was a betrayal . adrienne : oh , maggie . maggie : but i 've worked on it -- those feelings . and i 've decided that that does n't make any sense ... that being shut down and sad -- life -- it 's too short , right ? adrienne : definitely . maggie : hmm . i know mickey would want me to feel loved and cherished . adrienne : hmm . maggie : victor makes me feel that way . adrienne : well ... i - i do n't know what to say . maggie : well , you could tell me that you 're happy for me , adrienne . brady : so what are you gon na do ? victor : you let me worry about that . in the meantime , stay away from ej dimera . brady : well , i was n't exactly planning to hang out with the guy . victor : things are already near the breaking point with that family and ours . brady : [ sighs ] victor : the trick here is to move our knight before they move theirs . brady : do n't you think ej would 've taken me out when he had the chance ... if that 's what he was planning to do ? victor : maybe he was feeling you out ... on someone else 's orders . brady : you mean stefano . victor : [ sighs ] ej 's not the one i 'm worried about , brady . ej : look , father , i 'm not protecting anybody . i do n't remember the actual attack . stefano : [ sighs ] i do n't believe you . ej : well , there 's not much i can do about that , is there ? stefano : you lied to me at the hospital , and you are lying to me now . and you know what ? i know why . you want to handle this on your own . ej : [ scoffs ] i can assure you i do not . stefano : another lie . ej : oh , for goodness ' sake , father , come on , please . stefano : and what am i supposed to do -- just stand back and let you go ahead and try to solve this the way you solved the rafael mess ? ej : i thought that was moot . stefano : that 's not the point . the point here is that i know what 's best in situations like this , so you have to trust me to handle it for you . so ... tell me who is responsible for hurting you . taylor : i think ej 's changed a lot . i do n't think he 's gon na do anything to brady to get back at him for what he did . nicole : but you gave him brady 's gun . taylor : not so he would use it . nicole : okay , uh , i see . because ej has this long and storied career of doing the right and honorable thing ? taylor : okay , listen to me , nicole , i never , ever would 've let him walk away with it if i thought he planned to do anything to brady . nicole : you are such a dreamer . taylor : i wanted ej to make the right decision . nicole : taylor , you are only doing this because of who you want ej to be , not for who he really is . i have a suggestion for you that will not be hard , because at least it 's truthful . taylor : okay , what 's that ? nicole : the only way you 're gon na help ej and brady from killing each other and to stop this war with the kiriakis and dimera family is -- is to go to ej , tell him you love him and you forgive him and you want to spend the rest of your days as his wife ... right now . hey ! adrienne : uh , um ... maggie , you know i want you to be happy . maggie : i hear a `` but . `` adrienne : victor kiriakis ? maggie : you married his nephew . adrienne : oh , and they are like night and day , and you know it . maggie : no , i do n't , adrienne . i mean , victor has been proving himself a lot lately ... in small ways and large . adrienne : look , you know i love the guy . it 's just ... maggie : look , did you hear what he did ? i mean , did anyone really tell you how he handled that arrogant young man who gave your son a hard time about being gay ? adrienne : yes , sonny told me that victor was incredible , completely supportive . maggie : he was . and when i saw that , adrienne , i ... i was reminded how good and honorable victor is ... how kind and loving . adrienne : especially to you . maggie : he 's very caring with me , adrienne . it 's not just that . we make each other laugh . adrienne : [ chuckles ] that 's -- that 's very important . maggie : i just feel lighthearted when i 'm with him . he makes me feel young . i think i do the same for him . adrienne : [ exhales sharply ] maggie : so how about it ? can you be happy for me ? adrienne : oh , of course i can . maggie : [ laughing ] adrienne : and for victor , too . maxine : miss green is in 316 . hope : she 's in stable condition . maxine : yeah , somehow . she must be strong as an ox . we 're monitoring her now for internal infection and to make sure there 's no bleeding . bo : okay , thank you , maxine . maxine : no problem . you guys find the monster that did this , okay ? bo : i 'm gon na let you go in there alone . hope : you sure ? bo : yeah , yeah , i 'll check the crime scene , see if i can find any witnesses . i 'm sure that woman 's frightened . she does n't want some strange man in her room . hope : yeah , you 're probably right . you 're not some strange man . bo : hmm . hope : and you 're not just any cop . if she 's gon na talk to anyone , she 'll talk to you . hope : okay . bo : catch you later . hope : okay . roman : well , i 'm sorry i took so long . here you go . rafe : what 's all this ? roman : pending cases -- they 're going to trial within the month , and i want to make sure everything is handled with each and every one of those before they 're passed on to an assistant district attorney . rafe : these are all misdemeanors -- petty theft , domestic disputes . roman : that 's right . and the d.a . 's office wants those closed a.s.a.p . rafe : okay . [ chuckles ] that 's great , but , uh , do n't we have someone else in the office who can handle this stuff ? roman : budget cuts , so some of you guys are gon na have to pull double duty . sorry about that . rafe : no , you 're not . i know what this is about , roman . adrienne : hey . justin : hey . there you are . adrienne : i hope you were n't waiting too long . justin : oh , just a few minutes . where were you ? adrienne : with maggie . justin : oh . how 's she doing ? adrienne : really good , actually . um , she 's seeing someone . justin : is she ? adrienne : mm - hmm . justin : mm , my uncle . adrienne : mm - hmm . your uncle .

[ cell phone ringing ] stefano : ah ! what ? victor : have i called too late ? stefano : [ sighs ] what do you want , victor ? victor : a civil conversation . stefano : about ? victor : about the situation we both find ourselves in . stefano : i 'm listening . victor : i want it to stop . hold the bloodshed . taylor : you want me to tell ej that i want to marry him ? nicole : i thought you said you wanted to protect brady . so , if ej knows that you have a change of heart and that he has a shot at his fantasy , storybook ending , then maybe he 'll forget all about brady beating the crap out of him . taylor : okay , nicole , we have been through this before . there is no way ej and i are going to make it , because i 'm not gon na get past what happened to mom . nicole : even if that means you 're saving brady ? and by saving brady , you 're saving ej as well . and let 's face it -- is n't ej the one you 're really worried about ? hope : miss green ? charity : charity -- no one calls me anything else . hope : charity . hi . i 'm hope brady . i 'm a detective with the salem p.d . charity : that much i figured out . hope : i 'd like to ask you some questions about what happened . charity : i gave my statement in the e.r . when they brought me to surgery . nothing 's changed . hope : i saw your statement . it said you did n't see the person who attacked you . charity : i did n't . i 'm really careful all the time . i mean , you have to be . but this -- this came out of nowhere . hope : the person attacked you from behind . charity : it was dark , and ... he grabbed me . and i felt this ... white - hot pain in my stomach . i do n't know how it happened . i was unconscious pretty fast . hope : you think it was just one person ? charity : i think so . hope : you said , `` he . `` are you sure it was a man ? charity : no . just ... an enemy . someone called 911 . i do n't know who or why . hope : what do you mean ? charity : you know what i do . you know who i am . hope : and what ? you think you should 've been left to bleed to death ? you think you do n't matter ? charity : whatever . hope : you do . you matter . you matter to me . i 'm gon na find the person who did this to you . charity : good luck . there 's plenty more where this one came from . there always are . rafe : you do n't think i 'm ready to back on active duty . roman : i do have my concerns . you know that . rafe : what ? hmm ? think i 'm gon na go after the dimeras , use the badge for a cover , huh ? roman : you said it , not me . rafe : okay . i 'm frustrated they got off . well , surprise , surprise . but that does n't mean that i 'm gon na do something stupid . so , uh , why do n't you just give me a real case , and then i 'll show you , okay ? roman : show me with those files . just get it done . rafe : [ chuckles ] justin : what happened , son ? sonny : oh , nothing happened . it 's all good . it 's about a decision i made . adrienne : what decision ? sonny : i 'm staying for the summer . adrienne : where ? sonny : in salem . where do you think ? adrienne : oh , god , honey . oh , that 's wonderful . justin : so i guess you 'll be staying with us while you 're here . sonny : well , actually , i 'd rather get my own place -- sublet an apartment for the summer , if possible ... which means i 'll need a job . but i had an interview today . justin : really ? that 's where you just were ? sonny : yeah , and i think they liked me . i 'm just waiting to hear from them . [ justin and adrienne laugh ] justin : where 's the job ? what 's the job ? sonny : well , how about i let you know after they tell me they -- they want me or do n't ?

[ laughing ] what ? you look so skeptical . adrienne : uh , no . no , not about that . it just -- well , you -- you -- you -- the way you 're smiling , you ... something is different . brady : actually , i 'm not sure why ej did n't try to blow my head off when he had the chance , but , uh , he did n't . victor : brady , this is very serious . brady : it 's very , very serious . he had a gun . victor : he what ? brady : it was mine , actually . taylor had taken it from me when she hit me over the head with a vase . victor : good god . wait . so she basically handed your gun to ej ? she wanted him to use it ? brady : no , i think this was her way of testing whether ej was reformed or not . victor : [ sighs ] very dangerous test . brady : i agree , but he passed , and i 'm still here . oh , and then he , uh ... he gave me the gun back . victor : he did ? brady : sure did . victor : he say why ? brady : he said he wanted to play fair the next time . victor : so he threatened you ? brady : one could make a case for that theory i suppose . victor : [ scoffs ] this has gone far enough . brady : oh , hell , there 's always tomorrow , right ? victor : just stop it , brady . we have to solve this problem once and for all . roman : a woman was attacked last night . she was beaten and stabbed in the stomach . hope : my god . roman : she 's a prostitute with a record , and the uniform on the scene says , uh , that she 's not saying much of anything about what happened to her . bo : you think she knew her attacker ? roman : no idea , but i need you two to canvass the crime scene and try to get her to talk , okay ? and we need this case closed very quickly . hope : we 're on it . can i take a look at that ? bo : we 'll be in touch . roman : all right . rafe : well , all my cases are cleared . so what can i do to help ? roman : i did give that case to bo and hope , but i need you to do something else . maggie : uh , i suppose something is different . adrienne : maggie ... have you met someone ? maggie : i met him a long time ago . adrienne : you and victor ? maggie : is it really that much of a shock ? adrienne : oh , not a -- not a shock , no . well , just , you know , you two always seemed to have something come up between you that kept you from getting more serious . maggie : yeah , we did . i , um ... i was ambivalent about being involved with someone , and he was , too -- i mean , for very different reasons . um , mine was that i just ... felt disloyal to mickey . to care about another man was a betrayal . adrienne : oh , maggie . maggie : but i 've worked on it -- those feelings . and i 've decided that that does n't make any sense ... that being shut down and sad -- life -- it 's too short , right ? adrienne : definitely . maggie : hmm . i know mickey would want me to feel loved and cherished . adrienne : hmm . maggie : victor makes me feel that way . adrienne : well ... i - i do n't know what to say . maggie : well , you could tell me that you 're happy for me , adrienne . brady : so what are you gon na do ? victor : you let me worry about that . in the meantime , stay away from ej dimera . brady : well , i was n't exactly planning to hang out with the guy . victor : things are already near the breaking point with that family and ours . brady : [ sighs ] victor : the trick here is to move our knight before they move theirs . brady : do n't you think ej would 've taken me out when he had the chance ... if that 's what he was planning to do ? victor : maybe he was feeling you out ... on someone else 's orders . brady : you mean stefano . victor : [ sighs ] ej 's not the one i 'm worried about , brady . ej : look , father , i 'm not protecting anybody . i do n't remember the actual attack . stefano : [ sighs ] i do n't believe you . ej : well , there 's not much i can do about that , is there ? stefano : you lied to me at the hospital , and you are lying to me now . and you know what ? i know why . you want to handle this on your own . ej : [ scoffs ] i can assure you i do not . stefano : another lie . ej : oh , for goodness ' sake , father , come on , please . stefano : and what am i supposed to do -- just stand back and let you go ahead and try to solve this the way you solved the rafael mess ? ej : i thought that was moot . stefano : that 's not the point . the point here is that i know what 's best in situations like this , so you have to trust me to handle it for you . so ... tell me who is responsible for hurting you . taylor : i think ej 's changed a lot . i do n't think he 's gon na do anything to brady to get back at him for what he did . nicole : but you gave him brady 's gun . taylor : not so he would use it . nicole : okay , uh , i see . because ej has this long and storied career of doing the right and honorable thing ? taylor : okay , listen to me , nicole , i never , ever would 've let him walk away with it if i thought he planned to do anything to brady . nicole : you are such a dreamer . taylor : i wanted ej to make the right decision . nicole : taylor , you are only doing this because of who you want ej to be , not for who he really is . i have a suggestion for you that will not be hard , because at least it 's truthful . taylor : okay , what 's that ? nicole : the only way you 're gon na help ej and brady from killing each other and to stop this war with the kiriakis and dimera family is -- is to go to ej , tell him you love him and you forgive him and you want to spend the rest of your days as his wife ... right now . hey ! adrienne : uh , um ... maggie , you know i want you to be happy . maggie : i hear a `` but . `` adrienne : victor kiriakis ? maggie : you married his nephew . adrienne : oh , and they are like night and day , and you know it . maggie : no , i do n't , adrienne . i mean , victor has been proving himself a lot lately ... in small ways and large . adrienne : look , you know i love the guy . it 's just ... maggie : look , did you hear what he did ? i mean , did anyone really tell you how he handled that arrogant young man who gave your son a hard time about being gay ? adrienne : yes , sonny told me that victor was incredible , completely supportive . maggie : he was . and when i saw that , adrienne , i ... i was reminded how good and honorable victor is ... how kind and loving . adrienne : especially to you . maggie : he 's very caring with me , adrienne . it 's not just that . we make each other laugh . adrienne : [ chuckles ] that 's -- that 's very important . maggie : i just feel lighthearted when i 'm with him . he makes me feel young . i think i do the same for him . adrienne : [ exhales sharply ] maggie : so how about it ? can you be happy for me ? adrienne : oh , of course i can . maggie : [ laughing ] adrienne : and for victor , too . maxine : miss green is in 316 . hope : she 's in stable condition . maxine : yeah , somehow . she must be strong as an ox . we 're monitoring her now for internal infection and to make sure there 's no bleeding . bo : okay , thank you , maxine . maxine : no problem . you guys find the monster that did this , okay ? bo : i 'm gon na let you go in there alone . hope : you sure ? bo : yeah , yeah , i 'll check the crime scene , see if i can find any witnesses . i 'm sure that woman 's frightened . she does n't want some strange man in her room . hope : yeah , you 're probably right . you 're not some strange man . bo : hmm . hope : and you 're not just any cop . if she 's gon na talk to anyone , she 'll talk to you . hope : okay . bo : catch you later . hope : okay . roman : well , i 'm sorry i took so long . here you go . rafe : what 's all this ? roman : pending cases -- they 're going to trial within the month , and i want to make sure everything is handled with each and every one of those before they 're passed on to an assistant district attorney . rafe : these are all misdemeanors -- petty theft , domestic disputes . roman : that 's right . and the d.a . 's office wants those closed a.s.a.p . rafe : okay . [ chuckles ] that 's great , but , uh , do n't we have someone else in the office who can handle this stuff ? roman : budget cuts , so some of you guys are gon na have to pull double duty . sorry about that . rafe : no , you 're not . i know what this is about , roman . adrienne : hey . justin : hey . there you are . adrienne : i hope you were n't waiting too long . justin : oh , just a few minutes . where were you ? adrienne : with maggie . justin : oh . how 's she doing ? adrienne : really good , actually . um , she 's seeing someone . justin : is she ? adrienne : mm - hmm . justin : mm , my uncle . adrienne : mm - hmm . your uncle .

jack : so , where were you when the lights went out ? ashley : traci , abby , and i were sitting down to watch `` it 's a wonderful life , `` but by the time the power came back on , we were too tired to finish it . jack : spoiler alert -- the angel got his wings . ashley : what about you and phyllis ? what did you guys do to survive ? jack : we ended up at crimson lights . ashley : yeah , i heard it was the only place in town that did n't lose power . jack : yeah . that must be why half the town showed up there , including victor newman . ashley : uh - huh . jack : well , actually , he was on his best behavior for a change . ashley : i 'm sure -- probably 'cause he thinks he 's pulling something over on us . jack : why would he think that ? ashley : because my lab assistant , tobias , has been secretly taking pictures of our files and handing them over to victor . jack : what ? ! ashley : it 's okay , though . jack : i told you we needed to beef up security and that victor wanted intel on this new project of ours . if he gets the jump on us -- ashley : he 's not going to . jack : we have a chance to take jabot to a whole new level -- a level we never dreamed of . ashley : okay , stop . stop . stop . stop . you think you have to remind me of this ? you do n't think i know what 's at stake , like my future as co - ceo of jabot ? this is so important to me , believe me . i 'm not gon na let anything get in my way . victor : you 're late . come in . tobias : i got here as soon as i could . victor : well , you 're lucky my wife is n't home . tobias : if this is about the formula i stole from ashley 's files , i hope it was useful . victor : it was . sage : well , that went well , huh ? the attorney was very reassuring , do n't you think ? adam : well , it 's his job to be reassuring . sage : well , you may not care , but constance will be relieved to know that her will is in order . we do n't need any more surprises at this point . what ? adam : were you really in the dark about my father ? sage : what , that he was behind the taking over mr. bingham 's company ? yeah . i was as shocked as you were . adam : so , you had no idea that gabriel 's dad was driven to suicide ? sage : why would i keep that from you ? adam : [ sighs ] well , where i 'm from , everyone has secrets . sage : well , i think it 's good that constance kept this one , after what gabriel went through when he lost his father . if he knew the truth ... it 's no wonder constance seemed to overnight . adam : well , that 's my dear old dad for you -- toxic to every life he touches . sage : you know , for once , i 'm glad you 're not gabriel . adam : why ? sage : because constance wants victor newman to suffer for what he did , and gabriel would n't have had it in him to do it . you , on the other hand -- you 're very capable of it . adam : oh , it 'll be my pleasure . avery : could n't get enough of us after yesterday ? nick : i actually wanted to thank you for letting me spend the day here . dylan : dang ! i forgot to lock the door . nick : hey , you got to be quicker than that . i mean , the sign said , `` closed , `` but you ca n't always believe what you read . [ clicks tongue ] dylan : actually ... it was nice having everybody here . i 'm glad that we could open up a place to family and friends . hopefully people will realize what this place means . avery : well , you 've definitely got the press talking about you . they 're calling what happened here `` a christmas miracle . `` nick : well , i mean , come on . your place is the only joint in town with electricity and without a generator . i mean , i knew this place was always special . a lot of magic happened for me here , but what went down yesterday -- wow ! avery : yeah . there 's a reporter that 's saying it 's a sign from god that the coffeehouse should n't be closed . nick : can i get an `` amen `` for that ? ! both : [ laughing ] amen . dylan : look , i do n't know who or what was behind it , but i figure why not take it and run with it ? joe : hey , merry christmas , michael . michael : oh . joe : how was your holiday ? michael : very meaningful . thanks . yours ? joe : yeah , it was good . you know , i worked , but i 'll rest once you get the green light on this project , huh ? michael : yeah . uh , i need to talk to you about that . joe : great . then we 're in sync . i was just getting ready to head over to your office . there 's a paragraph in the purchase agreement that needs to be reworded . michael : you 're gon na need to find someone else to help you with that . i quit . joe : you quit , just like that , in the 11th hour ? you 're gon na leave me high and dry ? michael : if you check your inbox , you 'll find that i 've already e - mailed you the names of attorneys who can more than meet your needs . joe : and why leave ? why now ? michael : well , i 've given it a great deal of thought , and i finally came to the conclusion that it 's best for everyone . joe : it 's best for everyone or best for your wife ? michael : my wife ? joe : you know , when i met with lauren , she was very enthusiastic about this redevelopment project , and i have n't heard from her since . so , i can only assume that dylan and his group of supporters got to her , which , in turn , got to you . michael : i can assure you that has nothing to do with my decision . joe : and so that 's it ? nothing more to say ? michael : that 's all you need to know . joe : if we increase your rate , would that persuade you to reconsider ? michael : for me , it 's not about the money . joe : you know , there 's a huge potential here , michael . this could secure your entire future . michael : joe ... good luck on your project . dylan : first thing this morning , i had these made up . nick : `` where the lights are always on for you . `` i dig it . dylan : all right . anything to help the cause and get the word out . like you said , this place is magic . nick : yeah . i always thought so . but my last big moment here , proposing to sharon here , was n't so magical . dylan : well , you did a really nice and good thing christmas eve , showing up at sharon 's place . nick : hey , any excuse to dress up like santa , right ? dylan : right , 'cause it 's so much fun putting on a fat suit and a scratchy beard . nick : hey , do n't knock it till you try it . dylan : and you did n't have to stay afterward , either , but you did , and i can see how much that meant to faith . nick : i hope so . we still have a long way to go before she accepts the fact that i 'm not getting back with her mother . avery : that was judge britner . nick : oh , cool . did she set a date for our custody hearing ? avery : uh , there 's not gon na be a hearing . nick : what ? avery : her honor mandates that we seek mediation instead . nick : mediation ? can she do that ? avery : yes . it 's not uncommon , especially when both sides are so far apart . she 's hoping that it will temper your emotions . nick : when is it ? avery : next week . nick : oh , cool . the sooner we can get this thing going , the sooner we can all get on with our lives . dylan : i know this is a tough situation . just remember , when you 're in the room with all those lawyers , just remember how you and sharon worked together over the holiday . nick : yeah . i 'm not gon na act like a big jerk , if that 's what you 're thinking . but i have to fight for what i think is best , and that is getting full custody of my daughter . adam : victor thinks he can just toy with everyone , decimate lives , without repercussion . sage : has n't anyone ever stood up to him before ? adam : they 've tried . they failed . sage : you , too ? adam : [ clears throat ] well , it 'll be different this time . victor 's a force to be reckoned with , for sure , but he 's not without his weaknesses . and i know them better than anyone . this time he wo n't see me coming . sage : well , i just hope that it happens before constance ... it would bring her a lot of peace . adam : what about your peace ? sage : my peace ? adam : yeah . you 're always so concerned about constance . have you ever stopped to think about what it is that you want out of all of this ? i mean , you seemed pretty calm at the attorney 's office when they said that i stand to inherit the bulk of the estate . sage : well , i was n't surprised . it 's not like she left me with nothing . adam : well , it 's hardly a fortune . i mean , it does n't burn you up , i mean , just a little bit ? you 've spent most of your life taking care of this old lady . sage : okay , let 's just be clear right now . this old lady is n't leaving you anything . it 's all for gabriel . so , if you want to keep on being him , you stick to the deal we made . adam : do n't threaten me . sage : oh , i 'm not threatening you . i just want you to remember that i can reveal your identity at any time , so do not push me . do n't forget , i 'm all you have right now . jack : i know you feel you have things handled , but you 've already given victor an inroad . ashley : i have done no such thing , jack . jack : he has pictures of your files , ash ! for all we know , he has the formula to your serum ! ashley : okay , would you please just calm down ? jack : do n't tell me to calm down . you do n't understand . nobody understands . my life finally makes sense , after a year of hell . i 'm not gon na let it be upended again . now , what did you tell victor 's minion before you fired him ? ashley : i did n't fire him . i do n't need to . jack : what do you mean , you do n't need to ? ashley : because the only files that tobias has had access to are bogus . so , if victor tries to make something up out of them , he 's gon na end up with split pea soup . feel a little bit better now ? jack : i should have known that you would n't put the company at risk . ashley : was that an apology ? i 'm just wondering . jack : yeah . that was an apology . with all due respect , though , keep your guard up with victor . you may have won this round . he 's not gon na let it end here . victor : i had the formulas you brought me analyzed . it seems they 're working on a product that involves an ethyl alcohol compound . tobias : there are probably a million uses for something like that . victor : mm - hmm , but they added a few impurities that stem from a plant -- a native plant of mexico ... agave . tobias : interesting . do your chemists have any idea what it could be used for ? victor : yeah . tequila . tobias : i - i beg your pardon ? victor : you heard me . it 's used to make tequila . so , either they found out what my drink of choice is or they 're playing you for a fool . tobias : no , no , no . that 's impossible . ashley could not have possibly known . victor : yes , she has , and she can . you bet . tobias : i 'm sorry . mr. newman -- victor : just remember that my ex - wife is a very bright lady . you 're not the first young man who has lost a battle of wits with her , okay ? tobias : i 'll turn in my resignation this afternoon . victor : oh , no . i do n't want you to do that . tobias : but if she 's on to me -- victor : no , i want you to stay where you are . i want her to feel that she is in control . just pretend to be an idiot . tobias : i can do that . victor : oh , i 'm sure you can . michael : well , i was headed back to the office , and i thought to myself , `` i have got to stop by crimson lights and see it for myself . avery : see what ?

miracles will go a long way to making that happen . avery : you sound happy about this . michael : should n't i be ? avery : not if you 're representing the opposition . michael : ohh . well , if there was a conflict of interest , there no longer is . i dropped joe as a client today . avery : you did ? michael : mm - hmm . dylan : wow . the good news just keeps on coming . i 'm just glad we do n't have to go up against you . michael : i do n't need that kind of karma , especially now . avery : why ? what 's going on ? victor : so , michael baldwin walked , did he ? joe : yes , he did . victor : hmm . joe : does he always leave his clients high and dry ? victor : not to my knowledge . please have a seat . huh . he 's a brilliant lawyer , but there are others who can take his place . joe : hopefully one with the clout to see this project through . victor : yeah . listen , since the district was not declared a landmark , what 's holding up the sale ? joe : well , we 're waiting on city permits , and , unfortunately , your friend the mayor has yet to assist as expected . victor : why has n't he ? joe : bowing to community pressure , i suppose . you know , now with all this media coverage on this christmas miracle at crimson lights , it 's not gon na help . victor : no electric surge is gon na prevent me from selling that damn property . joe : what happens when your family finds out that you 're behind this , that you sold the building out from underneath dylan and cost him his business ? is that gon na be a problem for you ? ashley : do you really think that you have to warn me about victor ? do n't you think i know better than most people what he 's capable of ? jack : then you agree that he will likely match your brilliant move with one of his own . ashley : absolutely , jack ! he loves the game too much ! i know that ! jack : particularly when he has a worthy adversary . ashley : okay . well , this adversary is ready for any and all victor moves , okay ? i 've worked too hard on this product . if i 'm gon na have to stand guard at this lab , i will 24/7 , except for maybe new year 's eve . i 'll take a couple hours off and give you that shift . jack : what , and miss the chance to ring in 2015 with phyllis ? not on your life . ashley : you could bring her with you . jack : yeah , that 'd work out real well . `` hey , phyllis , how 'bout we spend our first new year together in a laboratory ? `` we 'll pass . thanks . ashley : so , does that mean that you 're not gon na be going to the club , either ? jack : well , considering that that was arranged by kelly , i think we 'll miss that , too . we 'll leave the fireworks to the pyrotechnic experts . you know , i 'd really just like to have a quiet evening at home with phyllis . ashley : this is so incredible -- i mean , to actually have somebody back in your life that you never thought you 'd see again . i mean , what a way to start off the year -- right ? -- so unexpectedly . you must think anything 's possible . jack : you have no idea . so , what about you ? what are your new year 's plans ? ashley : well , i 've got a date with my tv and big glittery ball in times square . jack : no date ? ashley : mnh - mnh , and i 'm gon na keep it that way . jack : talk like that and you might as well tough it out here in the lab after all . ashley : i might . jack : do n't you dare . all work and no play -- ashley : oh , no , no , no . do n't you call me `` dull . `` jack : oh , god forbid . ashley , outside these walls are lots of lovely people who would love to spend time with you . is n't that what you and traci told me last year ? ashley : we did make you come out with us , did n't we ? jack : it worked out pretty well for me . you need a break , too . come on . get dressed up . ask somebody to go out with you . do some dancing . drink some champagne . ashley : maybe next year . jack : ash ! ashley : do n't worry about me . i 'm okay . you have enough on your plate . adam : you really believe that -- that you 're all i 've got ? sage : who else do you have -- bugatti ? even man 's best friend does n't trust you . adam : [ chuckles ] you know the first mistake people in a supposed position of power make ? overestimating their importance . sage : where are you going ? adam : you do n't need to know . find your own way home . i 'm taking the car . sage : what ? ! come back here ! come on ! nick : hey . hey . you okay ? who was that ? michael : i can actually taste the difference in your coffee . i mean , there really is something spiritual going on . it 's amazing . avery : uh - huh . yeah . now , what about my question ? michael : your question ? avery : yeah . why are you trying to avoid negative karma ? michael : i thought everybody tried to avoid that . dylan : yeah , but you said you did n't need it in your life , especially now . avery : did something happen ? michael : duh . christmas happened . opening presents yesterday morning with fenmore and lauren and seeing the joy on their faces and hearing their crazy laughter ... it put me in mind that i almost let that all slip between my fingers . it just shows you that you have to make the most of what you have while you have it because it could be all gone in an instant . like phyllis -- here she was , a force of nature one second , and the next ... avery : well , thank god we have her back . michael : yeah , but it makes you think about what 's important in life . and it 's certainly not representing people and causes that i do n't believe in . avery : michael , you 've always said it 's all about business . michael : that 's not enough . do n't you think ? i mean , i have to believe that i was put on this earth for something more than earning a salary . and , well , you know , helping people like joe and his investors rob you of something you put your whole heart into -- i 'm not gon na do it . dylan : thank you , michael . avery : yes . thank you so much . michael : oh . oh . whoa ! what is -- what is that ? is that what i think it is ? avery : oh . um , well , i 've been meaning to tell you , but we 've both been so busy . yes , dylan and i are getting married . michael : oh , my -- congratulations ! avery : thank you ! michael : congratulations ! avery : well , it took us a while , but we finally got there . dylan : just proves you should never give up . michael : well ... i wish you both a long and happy life together . avery : thank you . [ chuckles ] victor : just so that we understand each other , you 'd do well not to delve into issues that are none of your concern . joe : i did n't mean to overstep . i 've just known people that have backed out in the 11th hour as a result of personal conflict of interest . victor : do n't you worry about a damn thing . no one knows that my holding company owns that property downtown . joe : or that 's your hope . victor : they wo n't know ... unless someone tells them . now , you wo n't do that , will you ? joe : well , you wo n't hear it from me . i did n't get where i am today by breaking confidences . victor : then you sell the damn property and everything will be cool . got it ? you have a nice day . sage : where did you come from ? nick : sorry . sorry if i startled you . no . i just , uh -- i just -- i did n't -- well , we have been running in to each other . i should have figured we 'd cross paths at some point . nick : yeah . what was that earlier ? who was that guy ? sage : i just had a disagreement with a friend . nick : well , whatever he said to you , it seems like it got to you . sage : no , it 's not something that he said . um ... someone very close to me is dying , and , um ... why am i telling you this ? you do n't even know me . nick : you saved my life . that 's all i need to know . sage : yeah . i do n't need to dump my problems on you right now , so ... nick : well , i kind of did that to you the other day , so it 's your turn . and my two greatest skills in life are listening and pretending to listen , so ... sage : is that right ? which one do i get ? nick : well , you 're gon na have to give me a shot to find out . i could buy you a hot chocolate . sage : with marshmallows ? nick : do n't push it . sage : [ chuckles ] nick : is there any other way to have hot chocolate than with marshmallows ? sage : [ chuckles ] thanks , nick . nick : sure . uh ... you know , you 've never told me your name . sage : sage . nick : sage . all right . i 'll , uh -- i 'll be right back . adam : i 've been waiting . jack : i was wondering when you were gon na show up . adam : no one 's home , jack . i 've already checked . jack : come on . adam : sorry i have n't been in touch . jack : what the hell are you thinking , adam ? ! you drop a bomb on me like that and then you disappear ? adam : i have n't been able to make it back here until just now . and do n't call me `` adam . `` i 'm gabriel bingham from now on , remember ? now , i need to make sure you 're not gon na reveal my true identity to anyone . jack : i have thought of little else since the last time i saw you , and i 've come to a decision . adam : good . tell me you 're gon na help me , jack . ashley : were you checking me out ? joe : well , when i see a beautiful woman , i ca n't help myself . ashley : joe clark , you have n't changed at all . joe : ashley abbott . ashley : [ laughs ] joe : damn , it is good to see you . ashley : hi . sage : it just happened out of the blue , or at least it felt that way . no one wants to think their time with someone is limited . nick : who is she to you ? sage : she 's my guardian . she took me in and raised me when my parents died . nick : oh , my gosh . i 'm so sorry . the other day , i told you to tell me that your parents were divorced and you turned out great . what a terrible thing to say at the wrong time . sage : oh , god , no . no . you did n't know . nick : i 'm sorry . sage : it 's all right . nick : i ca n't imagine what you 're facing , having to say goodbye to the one person in your life who never left you . sage : i think we got to go get some more marshmallows . nick : well , you -- you obviously love her very much . sage : i do . she was like a mother to me in some ways but not in others . i guess it 's true what they say about blood . it does matter ... 'cause there was always this -- this thing in the way , this boundary that i could n't cross . i mean , she let me in , but i could only go so far . and just knowing that her end is near ... nick : hurts like hell to have to say goodbye . it 's too bad your -- your friend there could have been more supportive . sage : oh , no . he 's , uh -- he 's very upset . the woman who 's dying is his grandmother , and ... we 're just on edge . he just deals with it in a different way . jack : this is n't easy for me . adam : yeah . i understand . put yourself in my position . jack : no , i tried . i keep coming back to the same thing -- we have to tell the authorities that you 're alive . adam : let 's -- let 's just slow down here for a second . i think i understand what 's going on . you 're in shock , jack . you 're in shock . you 've become accustomed to an idea of dead adam newman . jack : it has nothing to do with that . adam : why do n't you give yourself a couple of days to regroup , okay ? jack : i 'm not going to change my mind . adam : jack ... jack : i ca n't set aside what you did with delia . even if it was an accident , you did n't come forward ! you did n't tell anyone ! billy searched for months for the driver ! he was obsessed with it -- so obsessed , he ignored his marriage ! he and victoria could be together now if you 'd just come forward ! and chloe -- think what you did to chloe ! she had no place for her pain or anger ! it drove her to an institution ! adam : are you trying to get me to suffer ? is that what you want , jack ? because i 'm already there . i 'm already there . i am riddled with guilt , and i wake up every morning from a nightmare starring delia . there are n't enough apologies or jail cells in the world to make what i did right . nothing is ever gon na make it right . but my actions cost me everything , too -- almost cost me my life , and maybe there 's some justice in that . but , jack , i 've been given a second chance here with gabriel -- a second chance . now , i 'm asking you -- i 'm begging you -- please ... help me bring some kind of positive into the world . help me be a part of chelsea 's life , a part of my son 's life . jack : you have n't earned `` happily ever after , `` adam ! i am happy you 're alive . adam : yeah . jack : i really wish you had n't told me . i had -- i wish you had n't dumped this on me . adam : i had to tell you , jack . you 're the only one i can tell . you 're the only one i can trust . i got no one else , jack . we were like family , damn it . have you forgotten that ? jack : no , i have n't forgotten . adam : well , then , show me some compassion -- a modicum of understanding , of forgiveness ! my god , jack ! you , of all people , should be able to do that ! when stephanie wheeler o.d . 'd in this room , who 'd you call , huh ? did you call phyllis ? was billy on your speed dial ? jack : no . no . i called you . adam : no . you called me . and what happened ? i came . i came straightaway , and i did everything that i could do to help you out , right ? i kept your secret at my own expense , and then when you came forward and you wanted to tell everyone the truth , who was standing there right beside you ? well , that was me , too , was n't it ? i never left your side , jack -- not once . i would n't have . and did you go to prison for what you did ? no , because as horrible as that was , it was an accident . jack , i had your back when you were at your absolute worst , and i stood right by your side when you could barely hold your life together . i never turned my back on you . and you do n't get to turn your back on me now . michael : so , i 'll see you back at the office ? avery : uh , no , probably not . my meeting is at the athletic club , so , uh , i 'll just call you -- let you know how it goes . michael : yeah , good . thanks . i 'm gon na get some cream for this , and ... congratulations again . avery : i love how excited everybody is for us . dylan : well , it 's only gon na get crazier from here . avery : oh . well , then , we should plan on some quiet time , just the two of us . dylan : i 'm all for that . avery : yeah ? dinner tonight , just the two of us ? dylan : i ca n't think of anything i would like more , except for maybe dessert . avery : ohh . then i 'll be home early . dylan : mm - hmm . avery : very early . mmm . bye . dylan : bye . dylan : what if things never do settle down ? what if it 's just -- just life ? i - i think it 's okay ... because together , you and i -- we can -- we can handle anything . we can handle the good , the bad , and whatever else comes our way . but all i know is i want to face it with you , wherever our future takes us . dylan : hey , uh , michael , can i talk to you ? i have a favor to ask . michael : well , i 'm guessing it does n't entail legal advice , since you can get plenty of that at home . dylan : [ chuckles ] no . its , uh -- it 's been one thing after another for a while , and i think avery and i could use some time away . i mean , we 've been places for the weekend , but we 've never been on a real trip . michael : so , you want my advice -- somewhere private , somewhere romantic ? dylan : uh , actually , i think a little bit more than that . you know , i thought once we get a resolution to the whole redevelopment situation , i 'd like to take avery on an extended vacation . michael : hmm . how long do you have in mind ? dylan : maybe a month . i mean , that means that most of the workload would fall on you . so , i guess what i 'm asking is , could you swing that , or is it too much for you to handle ? ashley : thank you . so , how long has it been , anyway ? joe : too long . but you look just as stunning as the day that we said goodbye , which , by the way , i still have n't gotten over . ashley : i guess we 'll always have new york , right ? joe : yes , we will . what -- what brings you to genoa city ? are you visiting family ? ashley : permanently . i 've been back for a few months . joe : wow . i wish i 'd have known . i 've been here for a while myself . ashley : really ? what are you working on ? joe : representing a group of investors who are looking to redevelop the warehouse district . ashley : wow . that 's you ? i 've been so busy at jabot , i had no idea you were involved . it 's kind of controversial , is n't it ? joe : yeah . enough about that . let 's talk about you . you know , i 've wondered about you from time to time . ashley : sure , you have . joe : no , i 'm serious . we had a good thing going until you just up and disappeared on me . ashley : yeah , well , you know life . things happen . joe : yes , they do . and , as luck would have it , here you are , sitting right across from me . sage : that hit the spot . so did our talk . thanks . nick : it 's the least i could do . sage : i should go . i think my friend 's probably cooled down enough to take my call , and we have to get back to the grandmother . nick : well , i really hope the end is peaceful . sage : me , too . what 's her name ? nick : who , constance ? sage : just seeing if you 're listening or pretending . thank you . nick : sure . well , if you need anything else , you know where to find me . sage : yeah . i 'm sure we 'll bump in to each other anyway . nick : i hope so . bye , sage . [ cell phone rings ] sage : hello ? oh , no .

[ next_on ] lily : if he did n't have hilary , he would n't have just thought about drinking . neil : i saw my shadow . phyllis : you saw ? ! neil : okay , shh . adam : want to know why billy made it home safe and i did n't ? this is why -- billy shot me . | jack goes into the lab and finds out that tobias is working for victor and filmed the papers with the formula for the new fragrance which ashley was perfecting . jack fears that victor got his foot in the door to gain access to the new fragrance , but ashley assures him that the formula was bogus . tobias visits victor to discuss the formula and how he filmed the papers with the formula . adam and sage walk into the park . sage lets adam know that constance 's will is all in order . sage asks adam how he feels about what constance told him about victor killed his father . adam tells sage that it will be his pleasure to make victor pay for what he did to gabriel 's father . dylan and avery are at crimson lights when nick comes in to join them and thanks them for letting him come there the night before when the lights went out . nick calls it a miracle that crimson lights was the only place in town which did not lose the lights . joe and michael meet at the athletic club and discuss the project . michael lets joe know that he will have to find other legal representation since he was stepping down as their legal counsel . joe blames lauren for getting to him and changing his mind about the project . dylan shows nick a t - shirt that he just made to gain support for his cause . avery joins them and tells nick that there will be no custody hearing that instead they will have a mediation hearing next week . adam tells sage that victor thinks that he can toy with everyone 's life . sage asks if anyone has ever been able to beat him . adam asks sage what she will gain out of all this . sage reminds adam that she is all he has . victor lets tobias know that the formula that he filmed is used to make tequila . tobias threatens to quit his job at jabot , but victor urges him to stay on to gain ashley 's trust . michael stops by the coffeehouse to witness for himself the miracle that occurred the night before . michael lets avery and dylan know that he dropped joe as a client . avery and dylan are surprised by michael 's sudden change of attitude . joe drops by victor 's to fill him in that michael dropped him as a client . joe asks victor what his family will think when they find out that he is behind this project . victor tells him that no one must ever know that he owns the holding company that is behind this . sage yells at adam not to leave when nick walks up behind her and asks her who the man is . sage just looks at nick , startled by his sudden appearance . | <s>[INST] jack : so , where were you when the lights went out ? ashley : traci , abby , and i were sitting down to watch `` it 's a wonderful life , `` but by the time the power came back on , we were too tired to finish it . jack : spoiler alert -- the angel got his wings . ashley : what about you and phyllis ? what did you guys do to survive ? jack : we ended up at crimson lights . ashley : yeah , i heard it was the only place in town that did n't lose power . jack : yeah . that must be why half the town showed up there , including victor newman . ashley : uh - huh . jack : well , actually , he was on his best behavior for a change . ashley : i 'm sure -- probably 'cause he thinks he 's pulling something over on us . jack : why would he think that ? ashley : because my lab assistant , tobias , has been secretly taking pictures of our files and handing them over to victor . jack : what ? ! ashley : it 's okay , though . jack : i told you we needed to beef up security and that victor wanted intel on this new project of ours . if he gets the jump on us -- ashley : he 's not going to . jack : we have a chance to take jabot to a whole new level -- a level we never dreamed of . ashley : okay , stop . stop . stop . stop . you think you have to remind me of this ? you do n't think i know what 's at stake , like my future as co - ceo of jabot ? this is so important to me , believe me . i 'm not gon na let anything get in my way . victor : you 're late . come in . tobias : i got here as soon as i could . victor : well , you 're lucky my wife is n't home . tobias : if this is about the formula i stole from ashley 's files , i hope it was useful . victor : it was . sage : well , that went well , huh ? the attorney was very reassuring , do n't you think ? adam : well , it 's his job to be reassuring . sage : well , you may not care , but constance will be relieved to know that her will is in order . we do n't need any more surprises at this point . what ? adam : were you really in the dark about my father ? sage : what , that he was behind the taking over mr. bingham 's company ? yeah . i was as shocked as you were . adam : so , you had no idea that gabriel 's dad was driven to suicide ? sage : why would i keep that from you ? adam : [ sighs ] well , where i 'm from , everyone has secrets . sage : well , i think it 's good that constance kept this one , after what gabriel went through when he lost his father . if he knew the truth ... it 's no wonder constance seemed to overnight . adam : well , that 's my dear old dad for you -- toxic to every life he touches . sage : you know , for once , i 'm glad you 're not gabriel . adam : why ? sage : because constance wants victor newman to suffer for what he did , and gabriel would n't have had it in him to do it . you , on the other hand -- you 're very capable of it . adam : oh , it 'll be my pleasure . avery : could n't get enough of us after yesterday ? nick : i actually wanted to thank you for letting me spend the day here . dylan : dang ! i forgot to lock the door . nick : hey , you got to be quicker than that . i mean , the sign said , `` closed , `` but you ca n't always believe what you read . [ clicks tongue ] dylan : actually ... it was nice having everybody here . i 'm glad that we could open up a place to family and friends . hopefully people will realize what this place means . avery : well , you 've definitely got the press talking about you . they 're calling what happened here `` a christmas miracle . `` nick : well , i mean , come on . your place is the only joint in town with electricity and without a generator . i mean , i knew this place was always special . a lot of magic happened for me here , but what went down yesterday -- wow ! avery : yeah . there 's a reporter that 's saying it 's a sign from god that the coffeehouse should n't be closed . nick : can i get an `` amen `` for that ? ! both : [ laughing ] amen . dylan : look , i do n't know who or what was behind it , but i figure why not take it and run with it ? joe : hey , merry christmas , michael . michael : oh . joe : how was your holiday ? michael : very meaningful . thanks . yours ? joe : yeah , it was good . you know , i worked , but i 'll rest once you get the green light on this project , huh ? michael : yeah . uh , i need to talk to you about that . joe : great . then we 're in sync . i was just getting ready to head over to your office . there 's a paragraph in the purchase agreement that needs to be reworded . michael : you 're gon na need to find someone else to help you with that . i quit . joe : you quit , just like that , in the 11th hour ? you 're gon na leave me high and dry ? michael : if you check your inbox , you 'll find that i 've already e - mailed you the names of attorneys who can more than meet your needs . joe : and why leave ? why now ? michael : well , i 've given it a great deal of thought , and i finally came to the conclusion that it 's best for everyone . joe : it 's best for everyone or best for your wife ? michael : my wife ? joe : you know , when i met with lauren , she was very enthusiastic about this redevelopment project , and i have n't heard from her since . so , i can only assume that dylan and his group of supporters got to her , which , in turn , got to you . michael : i can assure you that has nothing to do with my decision . joe : and so that 's it ? nothing more to say ? michael : that 's all you need to know . joe : if we increase your rate , would that persuade you to reconsider ? michael : for me , it 's not about the money . joe : you know , there 's a huge potential here , michael . this could secure your entire future . michael : joe ... good luck on your project . dylan : first thing this morning , i had these made up . nick : `` where the lights are always on for you . `` i dig it . dylan : all right . anything to help the cause and get the word out . like you said , this place is magic . nick : yeah . i always thought so . but my last big moment here , proposing to sharon here , was n't so magical . dylan : well , you did a really nice and good thing christmas eve , showing up at sharon 's place . nick : hey , any excuse to dress up like santa , right ? dylan : right , 'cause it 's so much fun putting on a fat suit and a scratchy beard . nick : hey , do n't knock it till you try it . dylan : and you did n't have to stay afterward , either , but you did , and i can see how much that meant to faith . nick : i hope so . we still have a long way to go before she accepts the fact that i 'm not getting back with her mother . avery : that was judge britner . nick : oh , cool . did she set a date for our custody hearing ? avery : uh , there 's not gon na be a hearing . nick : what ? avery : her honor mandates that we seek mediation instead . nick : mediation ? can she do that ? avery : yes . it 's not uncommon , especially when both sides are so far apart . she 's hoping that it will temper your emotions . nick : when is it ? avery : next week . nick : oh , cool . the sooner we can get this thing going , the sooner we can all get on with our lives . dylan : i know this is a tough situation . just remember , when you 're in the room with all those lawyers , just remember how you and sharon worked together over the holiday . nick : yeah . i 'm not gon na act like a big jerk , if that 's what you 're thinking . but i have to fight for what i think is best , and that is getting full custody of my daughter . adam : victor thinks he can just toy with everyone , decimate lives , without repercussion . sage : has n't anyone ever stood up to him before ? adam : they 've tried . they failed . sage : you , too ? adam : [ clears throat ] well , it 'll be different this time . victor 's a force to be reckoned with , for sure , but he 's not without his weaknesses . and i know them better than anyone . this time he wo n't see me coming . sage : well , i just hope that it happens before constance ... it would bring her a lot of peace . adam : what about your peace ? sage : my peace ? adam : yeah . you 're always so concerned about constance . have you ever stopped to think about what it is that you want out of all of this ? i mean , you seemed pretty calm at the attorney 's office when they said that i stand to inherit the bulk of the estate . sage : well , i was n't surprised . it 's not like she left me with nothing . adam : well , it 's hardly a fortune . i mean , it does n't burn you up , i mean , just a little bit ? you 've spent most of your life taking care of this old lady . sage : okay , let 's just be clear right now . this old lady is n't leaving you anything . it 's all for gabriel . so , if you want to keep on being him , you stick to the deal we made . adam : do n't threaten me . sage : oh , i 'm not threatening you . i just want you to remember that i can reveal your identity at any time , so do not push me . do n't forget , i 'm all you have right now . jack : i know you feel you have things handled , but you 've already given victor an inroad . ashley : i have done no such thing , jack . jack : he has pictures of your files , ash ! for all we know , he has the formula to your serum ! ashley : okay , would you please just calm down ? jack : do n't tell me to calm down . you do n't understand . nobody understands . my life finally makes sense , after a year of hell . i 'm not gon na let it be upended again . now , what did you tell victor 's minion before you fired him ? ashley : i did n't fire him . i do n't need to . jack : what do you mean , you do n't need to ? ashley : because the only files that tobias has had access to are bogus . so , if victor tries to make something up out of them , he 's gon na end up with split pea soup . feel a little bit better now ? jack : i should have known that you would n't put the company at risk . ashley : was that an apology ? i 'm just wondering . jack : yeah . that was an apology . with all due respect , though , keep your guard up with victor . you may have won this round . he 's not gon na let it end here . victor : i had the formulas you brought me analyzed . it seems they 're working on a product that involves an ethyl alcohol compound . tobias : there are probably a million uses for something like that . victor : mm - hmm , but they added a few impurities that stem from a plant -- a native plant of mexico ... agave . tobias : interesting . do your chemists have any idea what it could be used for ? victor : yeah . tequila . tobias : i - i beg your pardon ? victor : you heard me . it 's used to make tequila . so , either they found out what my drink of choice is or they 're playing you for a fool . tobias : no , no , no . that 's impossible . ashley could not have possibly known . victor : yes , she has , and she can . you bet . tobias : i 'm sorry . mr. newman -- victor : just remember that my ex - wife is a very bright lady . you 're not the first young man who has lost a battle of wits with her , okay ? tobias : i 'll turn in my resignation this afternoon . victor : oh , no . i do n't want you to do that . tobias : but if she 's on to me -- victor : no , i want you to stay where you are . i want her to feel that she is in control . just pretend to be an idiot . tobias : i can do that . victor : oh , i 'm sure you can . michael : well , i was headed back to the office , and i thought to myself , `` i have got to stop by crimson lights and see it for myself . avery : see what ? michael : the place where miracles happen . dylan : you heard about that , too ? michael : everybody has . i have a feeling you are about to become one of the biggest attractions in all of genoa city . avery : well , we can only hope . michael : hmm . i would like to have your largest cup of coffee , please . i want whatever it is you 're putting in the water . dylan : good , old - fashioned pride of ownership . michael : well , for what it 's worth , people have taken notice , and i think they 're on your side . dylan : now we just have to get the planning commission on our side . michael : well , you know what ? miracles will go a long way to making that happen . avery : you sound happy about this . michael : should n't i be ? avery : not if you 're representing the opposition . michael : ohh . well , if there was a conflict of interest , there no longer is . i dropped joe as a client today . avery : you did ? michael : mm - hmm . dylan : wow . the good news just keeps on coming . i 'm just glad we do n't have to go up against you . michael : i do n't need that kind of karma , especially now . avery : why ? what 's going on ? victor : so , michael baldwin walked , did he ? joe : yes , he did . victor : hmm . joe : does he always leave his clients high and dry ? victor : not to my knowledge . please have a seat . huh . he 's a brilliant lawyer , but there are others who can take his place . joe : hopefully one with the clout to see this project through . victor : yeah . listen , since the district was not declared a landmark , what 's holding up the sale ? joe : well , we 're waiting on city permits , and , unfortunately , your friend the mayor has yet to assist as expected . victor : why has n't he ? joe : bowing to community pressure , i suppose . you know , now with all this media coverage on this christmas miracle at crimson lights , it 's not gon na help . victor : no electric surge is gon na prevent me from selling that damn property . joe : what happens when your family finds out that you 're behind this , that you sold the building out from underneath dylan and cost him his business ? is that gon na be a problem for you ? ashley : do you really think that you have to warn me about victor ? do n't you think i know better than most people what he 's capable of ? jack : then you agree that he will likely match your brilliant move with one of his own . ashley : absolutely , jack ! he loves the game too much ! i know that ! jack : particularly when he has a worthy adversary . ashley : okay . well , this adversary is ready for any and all victor moves , okay ? i 've worked too hard on this product . if i 'm gon na have to stand guard at this lab , i will 24/7 , except for maybe new year 's eve . i 'll take a couple hours off and give you that shift . jack : what , and miss the chance to ring in 2015 with phyllis ? not on your life . ashley : you could bring her with you . jack : yeah , that 'd work out real well . `` hey , phyllis , how 'bout we spend our first new year together in a laboratory ? `` we 'll pass . thanks . ashley : so , does that mean that you 're not gon na be going to the club , either ?

-- so unexpectedly . you must think anything 's possible . jack : you have no idea . so , what about you ? what are your new year 's plans ? ashley : well , i 've got a date with my tv and big glittery ball in times square . jack : no date ? ashley : mnh - mnh , and i 'm gon na keep it that way . jack : talk like that and you might as well tough it out here in the lab after all . ashley : i might . jack : do n't you dare . all work and no play -- ashley : oh , no , no , no . do n't you call me `` dull . `` jack : oh , god forbid . ashley , outside these walls are lots of lovely people who would love to spend time with you . is n't that what you and traci told me last year ?

michael : duh . christmas happened . opening presents yesterday morning with fenmore and lauren and seeing the joy on their faces and hearing their crazy laughter ... it put me in mind that i almost let that all slip between my fingers . it just shows you that you have to make the most of what you have while you have it because it could be all gone in an instant . like phyllis -- here she was , a force of nature one second , and the next ... avery : well , thank god we have her back . michael : yeah , but it makes you think about what 's important in life . and it 's certainly not representing people and causes that i do n't believe in . avery : michael , you 've always said it 's all about business . michael : that 's not enough . do n't you think ? i mean , i have to believe that i was put on this earth for something more than earning a salary . and , well , you know , helping people like joe and his investors rob you of something you put your whole heart into -- i 'm not gon na do it . dylan : thank you , michael . avery : yes . thank you so much . michael : oh . oh . whoa ! what is -- what is that ?

[ chuckles ] victor : just so that we understand each other , you 'd do well not to delve into issues that are none of your concern . joe : i did n't mean to overstep . i 've just known people that have backed out in the 11th hour as a result of personal conflict of interest . victor : do n't you worry about a damn thing . no one knows that my holding company owns that property downtown . joe : or that 's your hope . victor : they wo n't know ... unless someone tells them . now , you wo n't do that , will you ? joe : well , you wo n't hear it from me . i did n't get where i am today by breaking confidences . victor : then you sell the damn property and everything will be cool . got it ? you have a nice day . sage : where did you come from ? nick : sorry . sorry if i startled you . no . i just , uh -- i just -- i did n't -- well , we have been running in to each other . i should have figured we 'd cross paths at some point . nick : yeah . what was that earlier ? who was that guy ? sage : i just had a disagreement with a friend . nick : well , whatever he said to you , it seems like it got to you . sage : no , it 's not something that he said . um ... someone very close to me is dying , and , um ... why am i telling you this ? you do n't even know me . nick : you saved my life . that 's all i need to know . sage : yeah . i do n't need to dump my problems on you right now , so ... nick : well , i kind of did that to you the other day , so it 's your turn . and my two greatest skills in life are listening and pretending to listen , so ... sage : is that right ? which one do i get ? nick : well , you 're gon na have to give me a shot to find out . i could buy you a hot chocolate . sage : with marshmallows ? nick : do n't push it . sage : [ chuckles ] nick : is there any other way to have hot chocolate than with marshmallows ? sage : [ chuckles ] thanks , nick . nick : sure . uh ... you know , you 've never told me your name . sage : sage . nick : sage . all right . i 'll , uh -- i 'll be right back . adam : i 've been waiting . jack : i was wondering when you were gon na show up . adam : no one 's home , jack . i 've already checked . jack : come on . adam : sorry i have n't been in touch . jack : what the hell are you thinking , adam ? ! you drop a bomb on me like that and then you disappear ? adam : i have n't been able to make it back here until just now . and do n't call me `` adam . `` i 'm gabriel bingham from now on , remember ? now , i need to make sure you 're not gon na reveal my true identity to anyone . jack : i have thought of little else since the last time i saw you , and i 've come to a decision . adam : good . tell me you 're gon na help me , jack . ashley : were you checking me out ? joe : well , when i see a beautiful woman , i ca n't help myself . ashley : joe clark , you have n't changed at all . joe : ashley abbott . ashley : [ laughs ] joe : damn , it is good to see you . ashley : hi . sage : it just happened out of the blue , or at least it felt that way . no one wants to think their time with someone is limited . nick : who is she to you ? sage : she 's my guardian . she took me in and raised me when my parents died . nick : oh , my gosh . i 'm so sorry . the other day , i told you to tell me that your parents were divorced and you turned out great . what a terrible thing to say at the wrong time . sage : oh , god , no . no . you did n't know . nick : i 'm sorry . sage : it 's all right . nick : i ca n't imagine what you 're facing , having to say goodbye to the one person in your life who never left you . sage : i think we got to go get some more marshmallows . nick : well , you -- you obviously love her very much . sage : i do . she was like a mother to me in some ways but not in others . i guess it 's true what they say about blood . it does matter ... 'cause there was always this -- this thing in the way , this boundary that i could n't cross . i mean , she let me in , but i could only go so far . and just knowing that her end is near ... nick : hurts like hell to have to say goodbye . it 's too bad your -- your friend there could have been more supportive . sage : oh , no . he 's , uh -- he 's very upset . the woman who 's dying is his grandmother , and ... we 're just on edge . he just deals with it in a different way . jack : this is n't easy for me . adam : yeah . i understand . put yourself in my position . jack : no , i tried . i keep coming back to the same thing -- we have to tell the authorities that you 're alive . adam : let 's -- let 's just slow down here for a second . i think i understand what 's going on . you 're in shock , jack . you 're in shock . you 've become accustomed to an idea of dead adam newman . jack : it has nothing to do with that . adam : why do n't you give yourself a couple of days to regroup , okay ? jack : i 'm not going to change my mind . adam : jack ... jack : i ca n't set aside what you did with delia . even if it was an accident , you did n't come forward ! you did n't tell anyone ! billy searched for months for the driver ! he was obsessed with it -- so obsessed , he ignored his marriage ! he and victoria could be together now if you 'd just come forward ! and chloe -- think what you did to chloe ! she had no place for her pain or anger ! it drove her to an institution ! adam : are you trying to get me to suffer ? is that what you want , jack ? because i 'm already there . i 'm already there . i am riddled with guilt , and i wake up every morning from a nightmare starring delia . there are n't enough apologies or jail cells in the world to make what i did right . nothing is ever gon na make it right . but my actions cost me everything , too -- almost cost me my life , and maybe there 's some justice in that . but , jack , i 've been given a second chance here with gabriel -- a second chance . now , i 'm asking you -- i 'm begging you -- please ... help me bring some kind of positive into the world . help me be a part of chelsea 's life , a part of my son 's life . jack : you have n't earned `` happily ever after , `` adam ! i am happy you 're alive . adam : yeah . jack : i really wish you had n't told me . i had -- i wish you had n't dumped this on me . adam : i had to tell you , jack . you 're the only one i can tell . you 're the only one i can trust . i got no one else , jack . we were like family , damn it . have you forgotten that ? jack : no , i have n't forgotten . adam : well , then , show me some compassion -- a modicum of understanding , of forgiveness ! my god , jack ! you , of all people , should be able to do that ! when stephanie wheeler o.d .

theo : please . it was obvious from the moment you walked in -- what , about 15 seconds before kyle ? summer : i do n't have time for this . theo : and do n't pretend like you did n't wake up together , drive over here , and stage that little piece of theater . you know , i 'm not sure who you 're trying to fool , but i certainly wasn't . hey , i 'm not judging . now i think it 's about time you and the golden boy acknowledge what 's really going on . you know , it 's been clear to me and lola for weeks now . kyle : [ sighs ] jack : i wish you 'd talk to me . kyle : what more is there to say ? jack : i 'd like to hear your side of the story . kyle : there are no sides . lola and i ... were just not meant to be together . jack : simple as that ? kyle : nothing about this is simple . jack : look , i [ sighs ] i went by society last night around closing time and ... found theo there consoling your wife . i warned him not to take advantage of whatever problems you two were having . kyle : believe it or not , i really could n't get worked up about the guy . jack : that 's a switch . kyle : well , i 've come to realize that what i was so ticked off about was partially my own fault . the problems i was having with my marriage had very little to do with theo and everything to do with me . jack : okay . you 're gon na have to explain that one to me . kyle : because i was n't honest about what was going on , it was creating tension and distance with lola . theo was more than happy to worm his way in . or maybe intruding into our lives is ... what it took for us to finally face the truth . rey : no . yeah , no . i 'm at the restaurant now . yes , i will . yes . okay . i love you , too . hey . this a bad time ? lola : no . [ clears throat ] what 's up ? rey : well , i know you talked to mom because [ sighs ] i just talked to her and she told me to check on you . seems like her mother 's intuition is working overtime . said it sounded like something was bothering you but you would n't tell her . what happened ? what 's wrong ? whoa , whoa , whoa , whoa . what is it ? what is it ? what happened ? what happened ? okay . okay . lola : [ crying ] rey : okay . okay . it 's okay . it 's okay . look , this is n't my first rodeo ... theo : i saw the look on your face when you first walked in , no matter how hard you tried to hide it . bit of an extra kick , sleeping with a married man -- guy you 've been chasing for months now , putting one over on lola . summer : the only one putting one over on lola would be you , theo . theo : oh , i would never . summer : you are wearing a look that i am very familiar with . theo : oh ? summer : blatant opportunist and manipulator who 's ready to just pounce on his unsuspecting prey . theo : you know , you could be a little more gracious . summer : i 'm sorry . what ? theo : well , instead of giving me grief , you ought to be thanking me for stirring things up the way that i did . brought things to a head a hell of a lot sooner . and to be clear , i respect lola . i went to sleep alone last night . summer : oh . do you want a medal for that ? theo : well , this latest wrinkle does change things a bit . summer : stay away from lola . do you hear me ? she 's too good for you , theo . theo : now you want to protect her ? seriously ? [ chuckles ] jack : let 's forget about theo . kyle : yeah , gladly . jack : i want to focus on you . the problems you are confronting with your wife -- i know you 've had a difficult time lately . kyle : yeah , it 's more than that , dad . pjack : i know it feels like more than that . marriage is a process , kyle . there are ups , and there downs . well , it 's all about couples growing together , facing and working through their problems together , becoming stronger in the process . marriage is about commitment and patience and compromise . kyle : it 's too late for that , dad . lola and i are getting a divorce . elyce : how 'd it go with dr . blakely . sharon : fine . she was very thorough . elyce : everything you always wanted to know about chemo but were afraid to ask ? sharon : [ chuckles ] pretty much . elyce : your b.p . is slightly elevated , but it 's common on the first day of treatment . they even have a name for it . sharon : white coat syndrome ? elyce : [ laughing ] that 's the one . sharon : i 've read a lot about the procedure , so i basically know what to expect -- uh , well , on paper . elyce : do you have any questions ? and just so you know , there 's no bad ones . that 's what i 'm here for . sharon : um ... i really do n't have any . elyce : fair enough . sharon : okay . let 's get this started . lola : that 's it . the end . our marriage is over . rey : i ca n't believe him . lola : it is what it is . kyle and i -- we just were n't meant to be . rey : yeah , i 'd -- i 'd like to wring his -- his lying neck . lola : rey . rey : no . this is why i did n't want him around during the surgery . i knew the guy was trouble . i - i - i let him convince me that he was n't some lying ... spoiled jerk . it was a big mistake . big mistake . you know , he -- he told me that you made him want to be a better man , that he was going to cherish and treat you right . and i warned him on multiple occasions what would happen if he didn't . lola : kyle convinced himself , too , okay ? that 's the problem . it was n't malicious . rey : do n't -- do n't -- do n't defend the guy . lola : rey , please . at the time , he truly meant what he said ... to you and to me . he wanted it to work . there was , um ... just too much history to overcome . and we were wrong to think that it was going to last . rey : hey , lola , you are being way too generous . lola : [ sighs ] as much as this hurts , it 's better that we ... made a clean break . okay ? that we did n't try to fix something that couldn't . and i 'm glad that i do n't want to -- i do n't want to hold on like mom did with adrian . that was such a waste of time . rey : you are so strong . you know that ? so much more fair and kind than kyle deserves . and someday you are going to find a man ... who is worthy of you . lola : i know , but that 's the last thing that i want to think about , you know ? rey : of course . of course . sorry . sorry . your head must be spinning . you -- you want to take the day off ? lola : what ? are you kidding ? no . i 'm not gon na let this bring me down . rey : attagirl . lola : in fact , i got to get back to work . rey : [ chuckles ] you want me to arrest the bum ? lola : for what ? rey : for being a monumental jackass . a couple of nights behind bars would do the guy some good . lola : no . not now . but i 'll reserve the right to ask . rey : i love you . lola : thank you , rey . rey : i 'll see you later , okay ? lola : see ya . [ sighs ] tums vs. mozzarella stick ! `` the young and the restless `` will continue . sharon : i would say my biggest turn - on is ... when a man wears sweat pants . there 's just something about the way they fit in all the right places . mariah : okay , okay . tmi . tmi ! sharon : you did n't have to ask the question . what about you ? mariah : okay . i am going to find a quiz that is a little bit more `` g '' -rated than this . sharon : chicken . mariah : let 's see . `` what hot star does this sexy body part belong to ? `` uh , no . no , thank you . um ... oh ! this is great . the ultimate ' 90s movie trivia quiz . perfect . jack : i 'm sorry . i do n't understand this . after everything you two went through to be together , everything you overcame . kyle : it was a good story with a happy ending , and , dad , i got to play the hero . jack : you do n't believe that , and neither do i . you know it was real -- the feelings you had , the vows you two made to each other . kyle : it felt real ... as long as i tuned out that little voice inside that kept telling me something was off . jack : oh , dear god . kyle : thing is ... i got into my relationship with lola for ... all the wrong reasons . i 'd ... i 'd never gotten summer out of my system . no matter how hard i tried , no matter how many other women i went out with in new york , she was always there in the back of my mind , and ... i - i refused to acknowledge it because i - i could n't see a way forward for us . jack : and now you do ? kyle : when i came back to genoa city ... and summer showed up in town ... i was determined not to resurrect anything . i do n't know -- self - preservation , i guess . and then i met lola , and she was everything summer wasn't . she was focused and down to earth . she was from a different world . being with her was exciting , a constant challenge . lola was ... lola was a challenge . jack : because you 'd never been part of that world . kyle : and then , little by little ... i was embracing a different way of life . i discovered things about myself i never knew . and ... when lola looked at me ... i wanted to be the man she saw , the man she wanted to see , because , deep down ... i was always holding something back . i could n't really be myself . that tension was always under the surface . it was always right there . summer ... summer was always right there . lola and i both felt it . jack : how could you not ? kyle : and then lola had her accident and almost died , and all i could think about was bringing her back . jack : so you married summer to make that happen , thinking you had no option . kyle : at the time , i kind of didn't . jack : you never thought that summer would do the right thing eventually -- help lola without dangling that carrot ? kyle : i was n't willing to take that chance . lola needed that transplant . okay , and then she made it through the surgery and opened her eyes and looked at me like i was the most important thing in her world . jack : and you were in turmoil ... in love with two women , one you 're married to , the other , you 're drawn to . kyle , this is -- this is a very human situation . kyle : [ voice breaking ] i was a mess . everything changed . and nothing had . so ... i ended things with summer , and i married lola . i wanted to be that hero she saw , the amazing , selfless guy who would sacrifice anything for the woman he loves . i think i ... was almost addicted to that feeling . i - if nothing else , it ... distracted me from thinking about summer . jack : but in the end ... kyle : in the end ... it was n't enough . once the ... drama was behind us and -- and ... we settled into a routine , that became clear . [ sighs ] it worked for a while , until ... jack : until it didn't . kyle : i - i know ... i know the type of marriage lola wanted ... the kind of husband she deserved . dad , it -- it hurts like hell ... to admit it , but ... i ca n't give her that . theo : i had to see you -- make sure you 're okay . i 'm just so pissed off this is happening to you . you deserve to be treated better . lola : you found out that kyle and i -- kyle : i mean , at least he waited until you threw him out . i mean , not long , but he waited . that way he could tell himself that he did n't cheat on you with summer . lola : kyle and summer ? theo : yeah . lola : how do you know ? theo : i saw them in the office . look , it does n't matter how i found out . it 's ... true . lola : no , yeah . no . of course he 's with her . i mean , that 's what he wanted all along . he just could n't bring himself to admit it , right ? mariah : see ? it 's still here . we checked . so , can we go home now , please ? sharon : what 's your hurry ? rey : we do n't want to overdo it . sharon : okay . i have been lounging in a recliner all day . i do n't think i 'm in any danger of collapse . mariah : hey , hey . would you please let -- let brenda do that , please , please , please ? well , i know that she likes to keep busy , and , you know , she says it makes her shift go faster . rey : okay . how 'bout the two of you grab a table ? i 'll get us some drinks . how 's tea sound ? mariah : herbal tea . uh , no caffeine . rey : even better . sharon : since when do either of you drink herbal tea ? mariah : well [ sighs ] it 's good , you know , sometimes , on rare occasions , like this one . it 's also good for you . rey : food ? are you hungry , or is it too early for -- for lunch ? sharon : um , i 'm not hungry , but you two go ahead . rey : uh , you 're not hungry because it 's too early or because -- mariah : or because we had breakfast at like 3 : 30 a.m . precisely ? because if that 's the reason , 'cause you 're full because of breakfast , then -- sharon : okay , you guys . stop , please . rey : what do you mean ? sharon : you 're both hovering , and you pretending like you 're not hovering . so if you -- if you want to ask me how i feel , then just go ahead and ask . do n't dance around it . mariah : okay . um ... how do you feel ? you did n't get much sleep last night , and you just had chemo . rey : yeah . are you feeling any side effects , like nausea , fatigue ? sharon : [ sighs ] believe it or not , i feel okay right now , both physically and emotionally . mariah : that 's good . that 's -- rey : yeah . mariah : thank you for -- sharon : for being honest ? rey : we have n't been through what you 're grappling with . we do n't know what it 's like to be you right now . sharon : okay . well ... it was a pretty weird morning , scary on and off . [ sighs ] you know , i tried to pretend like it was no big deal when nobody was looking , you know , as if i had a handle on everything , which i totally didn't . i guess that 's not completely honest , but how else am i supposed to function ? i have a long , long road ahead of me . we all do , ahead of all of us . my team . i do n't know what i would do without both of you . this whole cancer business has been ... unsettling and strange and ... terrifying . mariah : yeah , no kidding . sharon : you know , when we were sitting in the infusion room , chatting and laughing and doing our best to distract ourselves from the tedium of having to sit there quietly while i receive this treatment , i - i would once in a while look up ... at the chemo pump and have this flash of what 's really happening . i 'd get this jolt in the pit ofmy stomach . you know , this powerful medication is being fed into my body to fight this tumor in me , and that 's the reality . there 's no escaping it . so ... the only thing left to do is just try to make the best of it . jack : thanks for sharing this with me . kyle : thanks for listening . jack : it 's a lot to take in for me .

jack : smilin ' jack . i almost cringe when i hear that now . kyle : really ? jack : i broke a lot of hearts -- more than my share . and i say that in no prideful way at all . i -- frankly , i 'm ... mostly ashamed . i was reckless with other people 's feelings . i did real damage to some lovely ladies who did n't for a minute deserve it . i regret that more than you know . kyle : i 'll always regret what i 've done to lola ... for the rest of my life . i hurt summer , too . there 's no escaping that . i need to find a way to move forward ... without causing any more agony than i already have . theo : if we do this now , you 'll wish we hadn't . lola : how do you know ? theo : i just -- i know , okay ? i know you . lola : theo ... theo : look , as much as i want you , lola -- and i do -- knowing that you would have regrets -- that would kill me . lola : you 're right . sharon : i know from talking to dr . blakely and my online support group and plus all the research i 've done that the effects of chemo are cumulative . i 'll start to feel tired and then whatever else as time goes on , and things will just get worse from there . mariah : they may get worse . rey : yeah , yeah . it affects everyone differently . sharon : that 's true . yep , that 's true . but , you know , let 's live in reality . very few people go through this process and have zero discomfort . and i understand all of that , and , you know , i 'm prepared for it . but right now , today , in this moment , i 'm okay . i feel good . i have energy . i feel normal . i 'm just gon na live in this moment and have gratitude -- thankful for all the professionals that are helping me ... thankful for you two and nick and faith and everybody else who 's supporting me ... thankful that my taste buds are still functioning normally . mariah : [ laughs ] is somebody thinking about lunch soon ? sharon : yeah , i am ! you know what ? i 'm gon na order our favorite sandwiches ... mariah : oh , yes ! sharon : ... and , for dessert , brownies and ice cream , and i 'm going to enjoy every second of it . mariah : [ laughs ] well , that sounds like a plan . rey : sounds like a fine plan . | mariah and rey accompanied sharon to her first chemotherapy appointment . sharon was bothered that rey took a step back at work to be there for her . she did n't want him to put his life on hold . he made it clear that being there for her was his life . sharon felt fine after her chemotherapy , but she knew that the effects were cumulative and she accepted that she 'd likely feel worse as time went on . jack reiterated that theo should n't take advantage of kyle and lola 's issues . theo said he would n't . summer was relieved when kyle told her he did n't feel regret the break up or being with her . they decided to keep this quiet for now , because they did n't want to cause any unnecessary pain . theo tried to get information about what kyle did last night , but kyle said to mind his own business . summer and kyle showed up at work around the same time , and theo surmised that it was because they 'd spent the night together and ridden to work together . he confronted summer , and she accused him of trying to manipulate lola . theo thought summer should thank him for stirring things up and bringing things to a head sooner . summer told theo he was n't good enough for lola , so he should stay away from her . | <s>[INST] [ previously_on ] sharon : i may not know what tomorrow will bring , but i do know one thing for sure . i 'm the luckiest woman in the world . lola : kyle is moving out . it 's over . really need a friend right now . kyle : we did n't want to hurt each other , but we both knew the truth . summer : which is what ? kyle : that we do n't belong together because there 's someone else i 've never gotten over . theo : morning , jack . jack : ah . you 're here bright and early . theo : well , i wanted to update summer on a situation that we 've been dealing with -- you know , get a jump on things . jack : i have n't seen her yet . theo : oh ? what about kyle ? jack : he 's not here , either . theo : well , that 's surprising . he 's usually first up the elevator . could be a good sign . jack : what you mean by that ? theo : maybe kyle and lola were up late dealing with their problems . jack : you 're saying this as lola 's friend ? theo : i heard you loud and clear about staying out of the situation , and i have . but , yes , speaking as lola 's friend , i want them both to be happy . jack : hmm . lola : mom , please tell me you have n't been running around on that ankle before it heals . okay . good . how am i ?

sharon : okay . well , still , paul relies on you . rey : babe , it 's really not an issue . sharon : why do you say it that way ? rey : [ sighs ] i have taken a step back at work . i handed my cases off to other detectives . sharon : you did what ? ! rey : paul could n't have been more understanding . he agreed to lighten my workload right away without me having to give details about why . sharon : okay . rey , we talked about this . i asked you and everyone else around me to just keep things as normal as possible . rey : and paul understood without me having to say it that this had to take priority , that this was a family situation . sharon : yeah , but you 're missing the point . i do n't want you putting your life on hold for me . rey : sharon , that 's not what i 'm doing . this is my life . this is what 's important to me -- standing by the woman that i love , supporting her however i can . now , i did n't say anything earlier because you made it clear that you did n't want to lean on other people too much . sharon : yes , exactly . rey : sharon ... listen to me . you are facing a lot of unknowns right now . and it 's natural for you to have these feelings of being overwhelmed . that 's why you were having those upsetting dreams earlier . that was your mind 's way of blowing off a little steam . now i have to have the flexibility to be here for you , and i - i ca n't do that if i 'm knee - deep in a big case , pulling stakeout duty . instead , i get the freedom to enjoy a middle - of - the - night breakfast with the entire family . sharon : well ... ca n't argue with that . rey : other times when you need to be alone , i can go to the squad room and put in the hours -- be here for you as much or as little as you need me to be . this is how it 's gon na be , okay ?

jack : i 'd like to hear your side of the story . kyle : there are no sides . lola and i ... were just not meant to be together . jack : simple as that ? kyle : nothing about this is simple . jack : look , i [ sighs ] i went by society last night around closing time and ... found theo there consoling your wife . i warned him not to take advantage of whatever problems you two were having . kyle : believe it or not , i really could n't get worked up about the guy . jack : that 's a switch . kyle : well , i 've come to realize that what i was so ticked off about was partially my own fault . the problems i was having with my marriage had very little to do with theo and everything to do with me . jack : okay . you 're gon na have to explain that one to me . kyle : because i was n't honest about what was going on , it was creating tension and distance with lola . theo was more than happy to worm his way in . or maybe intruding into our lives is ... what it took for us to finally face the truth . rey : no . yeah , no . i 'm at the restaurant now . yes , i will . yes . okay . i love you , too . hey . this a bad time ? lola : no . [ clears throat ] what 's up ? rey : well , i know you talked to mom because [ sighs ] i just talked to her and she told me to check on you . seems like her mother 's intuition is working overtime . said it sounded like something was bothering you but you would n't tell her . what happened ? what 's wrong ? whoa , whoa , whoa , whoa . what is it ? what is it ? what happened ? what happened ? okay . okay . lola : [ crying ] rey : okay . okay . it 's okay . it 's okay . look , this is n't my first rodeo ... theo : i saw the look on your face when you first walked in , no matter how hard you tried to hide it . bit of an extra kick , sleeping with a married man -- guy you 've been chasing for months now , putting one over on lola . summer : the only one putting one over on lola would be you , theo . theo : oh , i would never . summer : you are wearing a look that i am very familiar with . theo : oh ? summer : blatant opportunist and manipulator who 's ready to just pounce on his unsuspecting prey . theo : you know , you could be a little more gracious . summer : i 'm sorry . what ? theo : well , instead of giving me grief , you ought to be thanking me for stirring things up the way that i did . brought things to a head a hell of a lot sooner . and to be clear , i respect lola . i went to sleep alone last night . summer : oh . do you want a medal for that ? theo : well , this latest wrinkle does change things a bit . summer : stay away from lola . do you hear me ? she 's too good for you , theo . theo : now you want to protect her ? seriously ? [ chuckles ] jack : let 's forget about theo . kyle : yeah , gladly . jack : i want to focus on you . the problems you are confronting with your wife -- i know you 've had a difficult time lately . kyle : yeah , it 's more than that , dad . pjack : i know it feels like more than that . marriage is a process , kyle . there are ups , and there downs . well , it 's all about couples growing together , facing and working through their problems together , becoming stronger in the process . marriage is about commitment and patience and compromise . kyle : it 's too late for that , dad . lola and i are getting a divorce . elyce : how 'd it go with dr . blakely . sharon : fine . she was very thorough . elyce : everything you always wanted to know about chemo but were afraid to ask ? sharon : [ chuckles ] pretty much . elyce : your b.p . is slightly elevated , but it 's common on the first day of treatment . they even have a name for it . sharon : white coat syndrome ? elyce : [ laughing ] that 's the one . sharon : i 've read a lot about the procedure , so i basically know what to expect -- uh , well , on paper . elyce : do you have any questions ? and just so you know , there 's no bad ones . that 's what i 'm here for . sharon : um ... i really do n't have any . elyce : fair enough . sharon : okay . let 's get this started . lola : that 's it . the end . our marriage is over . rey : i ca n't believe him . lola : it is what it is . kyle and i -- we just were n't meant to be . rey : yeah , i 'd -- i 'd like to wring his -- his lying neck . lola : rey . rey : no . this is why i did n't want him around during the surgery . i knew the guy was trouble . i - i - i let him convince me that he was n't some lying ... spoiled jerk . it was a big mistake . big mistake . you know , he -- he told me that you made him want to be a better man , that he was going to cherish and treat you right . and i warned him on multiple occasions what would happen if he didn't . lola : kyle convinced himself , too , okay ? that 's the problem . it was n't malicious . rey : do n't -- do n't -- do n't defend the guy . lola : rey , please . at the time , he truly meant what he said ... to you and to me . he wanted it to work . there was , um ... just too much history to overcome . and we were wrong to think that it was going to last . rey : hey , lola , you are being way too generous . lola : [ sighs ] as much as this hurts , it 's better that we ... made a clean break . okay ? that we did n't try to fix something that couldn't . and i 'm glad that i do n't want to -- i do n't want to hold on like mom did with adrian . that was such a waste of time . rey : you are so strong . you know that ? so much more fair and kind than kyle deserves . and someday you are going to find a man ... who is worthy of you . lola : i know , but that 's the last thing that i want to think about , you know ? rey : of course . of course . sorry . sorry . your head must be spinning . you -- you want to take the day off ? lola : what ? are you kidding ? no . i 'm not gon na let this bring me down . rey : attagirl . lola : in fact , i got to get back to work . rey : [ chuckles ] you want me to arrest the bum ? lola : for what ? rey : for being a monumental jackass . a couple of nights behind bars would do the guy some good . lola : no . not now . but i 'll reserve the right to ask . rey : i love you . lola : thank you , rey . rey : i 'll see you later , okay ? lola : see ya . [ sighs ] tums vs. mozzarella stick ! `` the young and the restless `` will continue . sharon : i would say my biggest turn - on is ... when a man wears sweat pants . there 's just something about the way they fit in all the right places . mariah : okay , okay . tmi . tmi ! sharon : you did n't have to ask the question . what about you ? mariah : okay . i am going to find a quiz that is a little bit more `` g '' -rated than this . sharon : chicken . mariah : let 's see . `` what hot star does this sexy body part belong to ? `` uh , no . no , thank you . um ... oh ! this is great . the ultimate ' 90s movie trivia quiz . perfect . jack : i 'm sorry . i do n't understand this . after everything you two went through to be together , everything you overcame . kyle : it was a good story with a happy ending , and , dad , i got to play the hero . jack : you do n't believe that , and neither do i . you know it was real -- the feelings you had , the vows you two made to each other . kyle : it felt real ... as long as i tuned out that little voice inside that kept telling me something was off . jack : oh , dear god . kyle : thing is ... i got into my relationship with lola for ... all the wrong reasons . i 'd ... i 'd never gotten summer out of my system . no matter how hard i tried , no matter how many other women i went out with in new york , she was always there in the back of my mind , and ... i - i refused to acknowledge it because i - i could n't see a way forward for us . jack : and now you do ? kyle : when i came back to genoa city ... and summer showed up in town ... i was determined not to resurrect anything . i do n't know -- self - preservation , i guess . and then i met lola , and she was everything summer wasn't . she was focused and down to earth . she was from a different world . being with her was exciting , a constant challenge . lola was ... lola was a challenge . jack : because you 'd never been part of that world . kyle : and then , little by little ... i was embracing a different way of life . i discovered things about myself i never knew . and ... when lola looked at me ... i wanted to be the man she saw , the man she wanted to see , because , deep down ... i was always holding something back . i could n't really be myself . that tension was always under the surface . it was always right there . summer ... summer was always right there . lola and i both felt it . jack : how could you not ? kyle : and then lola had her accident and almost died , and all i could think about was bringing her back . jack : so you married summer to make that happen , thinking you had no option . kyle : at the time , i kind of didn't . jack : you never thought that summer would do the right thing eventually -- help lola without dangling that carrot ? kyle : i was n't willing to take that chance . lola needed that transplant . okay , and then she made it through the surgery and opened her eyes and looked at me like i was the most important thing in her world . jack : and you were in turmoil ... in love with two women , one you 're married to , the other , you 're drawn to . kyle , this is -- this is a very human situation . kyle : [ voice breaking ] i was a mess . everything changed . and nothing had . so ... i ended things with summer , and i married lola . i wanted to be that hero she saw , the amazing , selfless guy who would sacrifice anything for the woman he loves . i think i ... was almost addicted to that feeling . i - if nothing else , it ... distracted me from thinking about summer . jack : but in the end ... kyle : in the end ... it was n't enough . once the ... drama was behind us and -- and ... we settled into a routine , that became clear . [ sighs ] it worked for a while , until ... jack : until it didn't . kyle : i - i know ... i know the type of marriage lola wanted ... the kind of husband she deserved . dad , it -- it hurts like hell ... to admit it , but ... i ca n't give her that . theo : i had to see you -- make sure you 're okay . i 'm just so pissed off this is happening to you . you deserve to be treated better . lola : you found out that kyle and i -- kyle : i mean , at least he waited until you threw him out . i mean , not long , but he waited . that way he could tell himself that he did n't cheat on you with summer . lola : kyle and summer ? theo : yeah . lola : how do you know ? theo : i saw them in the office . look , it does n't matter how i found out . it 's ... true . lola : no , yeah . no . of course he 's with her . i mean , that 's what he wanted all along . he just could n't bring himself to admit it , right ? mariah : see ? it 's still here . we checked . so , can we go home now , please ? sharon : what 's your hurry ? rey : we do n't want to overdo it . sharon : okay . i have been lounging in a recliner all day . i do n't think i 'm in any danger of collapse . mariah : hey , hey . would you please let -- let brenda do that , please , please , please ? well , i know that she likes to keep busy , and , you know , she says it makes her shift go faster . rey : okay . how 'bout the two of you grab a table ? i 'll get us some drinks . how 's tea sound ? mariah : herbal tea . uh , no caffeine . rey : even better . sharon : since when do either of you drink herbal tea ? mariah : well [ sighs ] it 's good , you know , sometimes , on rare occasions , like this one . it 's also good for you . rey : food ? are you hungry , or is it too early for -- for lunch ? sharon : um , i 'm not hungry , but you two go ahead . rey : uh , you 're not hungry because it 's too early or because -- mariah : or because we had breakfast at like 3 : 30 a.m . precisely ? because if that 's the reason , 'cause you 're full because of breakfast , then -- sharon : okay , you guys . stop , please . rey : what do you mean ? sharon : you 're both hovering , and you pretending like you 're not hovering . so if you -- if you want to ask me how i feel , then just go ahead and ask . do n't dance around it . mariah : okay . um ... how do you feel ? you did n't get much sleep last night , and you just had chemo . rey : yeah . are you feeling any side effects , like nausea , fatigue ? sharon : [ sighs ] believe it or not , i feel okay right now , both physically and emotionally . mariah : that 's good . that 's -- rey : yeah . mariah : thank you for -- sharon : for being honest ? rey : we have n't been through what you 're grappling with . we do n't know what it 's like to be you right now . sharon : okay . well ... it was a pretty weird morning , scary on and off . [ sighs ] you know , i tried to pretend like it was no big deal when nobody was looking , you know , as if i had a handle on everything , which i totally didn't . i guess that 's not completely honest , but how else am i supposed to function ? i have a long , long road ahead of me . we all do , ahead of all of us . my team . i do n't know what i would do without both of you . this whole cancer business has been ... unsettling and strange and ... terrifying . mariah : yeah , no kidding . sharon : you know , when we were sitting in the infusion room , chatting and laughing and doing our best to distract ourselves from the tedium of having to sit there quietly while i receive this treatment , i - i would once in a while look up ... at the chemo pump and have this flash of what 's really happening . i 'd get this jolt in the pit ofmy stomach . you know , this powerful medication is being fed into my body to fight this tumor in me , and that 's the reality . there 's no escaping it . so ... the only thing left to do is just try to make the best of it . jack : thanks for sharing this with me . kyle : thanks for listening . jack : it 's a lot to take in for me . [ exhales sharply ] i can only imagine what it 's like for lola . must be quite a shock for someone like her . kyle : [ chuckles ] someone who takes her commitments seriously , someone who understands what loyalty means , unlike me ?

theo : i just -- i know , okay ? i know you . lola : theo ... theo : look , as much as i want you , lola -- and i do -- knowing that you would have regrets -- that would kill me . lola : you 're right . sharon : i know from talking to dr . blakely and my online support group and plus all the research i 've done that the effects of chemo are cumulative . i 'll start to feel tired and then whatever else as time goes on , and things will just get worse from there . mariah : they may get worse . rey : yeah , yeah . it affects everyone differently . sharon : that 's true . yep , that 's true . but , you know , let 's live in reality . very few people go through this process and have zero discomfort . and i understand all of that , and , you know , i 'm prepared for it . but right now , today , in this moment , i 'm okay . i feel good . i have energy . i feel normal . i 'm just gon na live in this moment and have gratitude -- thankful for all the professionals that are helping me ... thankful for you two and nick and faith and everybody else who 's supporting me ... thankful that my taste buds are still functioning normally . mariah : [ laughs ] is somebody thinking about lunch soon ?

christopher : a friend . reva : well , i 'm glad you came . how did you hear ? christopher : ed bauer told me when i checked in on another patient . he said that shayne 's surgery went well . reva : yeah , thank god . christopher : it 's good to see you and josh so comfortable together just now . reva : you know , i have to give you credit for that . no , really i do . if it had n't been for all of your help and advice , i do n't think i 've ever would have gotten past the anger that i built up . christopher : you did all the work , reva . reva : but you made me believe that it could happen . that in time i could find all that love that i had for the man . christopher : are you saying you 're there ? reva : yes , i am . all those old memories just came flooding back and the feelings . i guess it 's a miracle . i am one satisfied customer . christopher : well , i 'm happy for you . i 'm sure that shayne 's going to be okay . reva : oh , i hope so . i should probably go and peek in on him . thank you again . you know something ? you have been wonderful . bill : all right , well , ladies first . campaign . eden : have you 've gotten any threatening emails or weird phone messages , stuff like that ? bill : threatening emails ? no . everyone in springfield loves me . no , i 'm kidding . i have n't gotten a thing . why ? you really worried about me ? eden : enough to ask . bill : well , i am fine . we are fine . no , wait a minute . we are better than fine . we are indestructible . eden : oh , really ? bill : yeah . give me some of this . all right , now i need to talk to you about tony . eden : sure . bill : well , it 's nothing new really . i just ... i do n't think he nor his image are good for danny 's campaign . now danny 's not too worried about it , but i am . eden : and why are you talking to me about this ? bill : well , i was just thinking the more time he spends on bad girl photo shoots at his ranch , the less time he has to be front and center of this campaign . eden : oh . so in other words , you want me to cut down on his visibility . bill : well , out of sight , out of mind . at least that 's what i 'm hoping for . so come on , if you do n't mind , you would need to keep tony under wraps . call it a public service . marah : you did n't answer my question , because there 's the answer right there . jeffrey : i did n't answer your question because it was ridiculous . i mean , did i sleep with you out of pity ? come on . that 's insulting that you would even think that let alone ask me that . marah : first insult of the new year and it 's still new year 's day . ca n't accuse me of wasting time . jeffrey : marah , i ... marah : what ? what were you going to say ? jeffrey : how you felt last night and this morning , cherished , is because i do , i do cherish you . marah : he said as she picks up the last pieces of clothing off his hotel room floor . jeffrey : you want a fight ? i 'm a good fighter , you know . marah : no . no , i do n't want to fight . i just ... i want to get back in bed with you . we made our own rules last night . why ca n't we do it again ? jeffrey : it does n't work that way , marah . marah : not for you . but , jeffrey , i 'm not begging . i just really ... i really enjoyed being with you . jeffrey : and i really enjoyed being with you . and it 's memory that i 'm going to treasure and i hope it 's one that you will , too . marah : can you do that ? can you cherish someone one night and then not the next day ? can you turn it on and off like a switch like that ? seriously . i want to know . jeffrey : if you 're asking if this could turn into something , i 'd have to say no . hey , but you know what ? it 's a brand new year . who knows , right ? anything could happen . weird stuff happened last year . weird stuff is going to happen this year . i might even get out from under ... marah : out from under what ? jeffrey : your other shoe is over there . marah : jeffrey ... jeffrey : no , no , marah , i ca n't tell you , okay . i wish i could , but that 's one thing i know will never happen . josh : how 's he doing ? ed : he 's sleeping peacefully . his vital signs are strong . josh : how long will he be out for ? ed : could be awhile . josh : okay . ed , has michelle talked to you at all about maryanne since the photograph came out in the newspaper ? ed : no , she has n't made any connection . if she had , she 'd be all over me . i just wish this would all fade away . but that 's not going to happen , is it ? josh : i have an idea . if you talk to billy or buzz just let me know what they say , okay ? tammy : so what 's with you today ? joey : i think you 're amazingly great . and i 'm glad we got together . tammy : this is getting better . joey : and i wanted to give you something . tammy : ooh , a present . joey : oh , man . here . tammy : wow . joey , it 's your baseball ring . joey : you can have it if you want . tammy : are you kidding ? ( laughs ) i would love to . this is great . joey : here . ( laughs ) it 's a little big , but it looks good . not the most romantic presentation in the world , but least you got it on . tammy : did you just say `` presentation `` ? joey : yeah , why ? tammy : just sounds like something my uncle edmund would say . and this kind of looks like something he would carry around . joey : do n't get mad at me , okay ? i 'm ... i just wanted it to be great . bill : josh . happy new year . josh : hi , there . happy new year to you , too . both of you . eden : thanks . i have to check on those arrangements for the shoot . bill : okay . eden : excuse me . bill : well , what 's going on with you ? you look like you 've been up all night partying . josh : shayne had to have emergency surgery last night . bill : oh , he what ? josh : it went very well . i think he 's going to be fine though . bill : he 's fine ? josh : yeah . bill : good . well , give him my best . and i will check in on him later . in the meantime , i 'm sure you 've got a lot on your mind . so do n't worry about lewis , because everything 's under control over there . josh : you mind if i sit down for just a second ? bill : yeah , please . come on , sit down . josh : i wanted to talk to you about something . i 'm glad you brought it up . i 'm concerned that perhaps you 're overextending yourself a little too much . bill : what you mean with running lewis and managing the campaign ? josh : well , those are both full time jobs . bill : working twice as hard . i bet mom would be proud . josh : you work very hard and i appreciate that . but my real concern is for the company . i think maybe we 're taking on too much work . and with too many crews that we do n't know that do n't have a proven track record with us . i 'm not sure i feel comfortable with that . bill : josh , there 's no need to worry . i mean we can handle it . josh : bill , lewis construction has been very successful . and part of the key to that success has been that we have not overextended the company . now i want to keep it that way . i do n't want you to take on any new projects or make any major changes unless i personally have signed off . bill : all right , josh , why did you ask me to step in for you over at lewis ? so you could focus on shayne 's recovery without any distractions . well , you have that . and , yes , i am managing danny campaign , but i think i 've more than proven myself that i could run things over at lewis . you know better than i that emergencies pop up all the time . what if something happens ? we 're going to stop everything to try to track you down ? we ca n't do that . now you ca n't expect me to run this operation then micromanage every step of the way . it 's just ... it 's not going to work . unless of course , you just do n't trust me . is that what 's going here ? is this a trust issue ? josh : bill ... bill : because let me tell you , since i 've filled in for you ... josh : bill ... bill : the projects that ... josh : just stop . i trust you . if i did n't trust you , you would n't be running the show . now we can leave things the way they are for the time being . but i do n't want you to be a cowboy . i do n't want you losing my company . bill : of course not . in fact , i will copy you on every memo and i will fill you in on every detail the best i can . listen , beyond that it 's got to be my call , and that 's for the company 's sake . josh : okay . eden : tony , i asked bill point blank . he 's gotten no threats . but mr. machine knows somebody that 's got something on him or danny or both . and we got to find out who it is . marah : get out from under what ? your job ? being a lawyer ? jeffrey : you know , it 's getting closer to afternoon every minute . marah : well , you should tell me . the sooner you tell me , the sooner i go . jeffrey : look , marah , we 're not going top spend the little bit of time we have left together talking about our stupid careers , are we ? marah : i 'm not interested in that either . jeffrey : well , why do you keep asking ? marah : does n't it feel good to know that somebody cares about what makes you you ? jeffrey : i never thought about it before . marah : how is that possible ? i do n't think it is . because the way you looked at me last night and the way you touched me only a man with a whole world of feelings inside of him could have done that . jeffrey : well , it was just me . marah : i liked him . the man you were last night . you 're so much more than i expected . jeffrey : no extra charge . marah : would it really be so bad to open up to me ? jeffrey : what am i suppose to just open up to you , right ? open my heart up to you . pour out all my feelings . is that what i 'm supposed to do ? marah : i could stay the afternoon . jeffrey : marah , do n't go looking for that man from last night . because you 'll never see him again . tammy : so what 's new in the world ? edmund : hey , tammy . oh , everything . nothing , you know , usual . tammy : i do n't know if i agree with the nothing part . edmund : why ? do you have some news ? tammy : uh - uh . nope . just had breakfast with a bunch of baseball guys and their girlfriends . pretty crazy . jeffrey : yes , i could i can only imagine . tammy : we watched so many ball games , i ca n't even remember who played in them now . edmund : hmm . that 's nice . tammy : uncle edmund , do you know what 's really romantic ? edmund : what ? tammy : when a guy makes a big fuss over you . i mean , what girl would n't love it if a guy decided to show how much he cared by giving her a super special gift and a sweet little speech to go along with it . especially when she knows he planned the whole thing entirely by himself . edmund : hmm . is that my handkerchief ? tammy : is it ? i was wondering how i got a hold of that . edmund : why , tammy winslow , what is that on your finger ? my goodness , that is quite a ring . you did n't have that on when you left this morning . tammy : have you ever seen a baseball team ring before ? edmund : why , no i never have . ( both laugh ) tammy : nice try . and thank you . edmund : my pleasure . did joey do me proud ? tammy : proud enough . cassie : reva ? why did n't you call me the minute this happened ? reva : well , because that 's the way shayne wanted it , you know , kind of low key . cassie : low key ? he had surgery . reva : exactly . he did n't want to ruin everyone else 's new year 's eve . cassie : i 'm not everyone . i 'm family . i 'm your sister . reva : okay , okay . are you finished ? cassie : how is he ? reva : he 's still sleep . but ed said that his vitals are strong . and we wo n't really know how the operation affected his overall condition for another day or so . cassie : poor kid . he 's just been through so much . and so have you and josh . how are you guys doing ? reva : we 're okay . at least i 'm not the one pushing us apart anymore . in fact , i 'd like to be moving closer . cassie : but josh is pulling away . reva : josh , yeah . yeah . i mean he just ... you know , if it were up to me , i 'd ask him to move back in today , but he does n't seem to be ready for it . cassie : that 's so weird . you 'd think he would be so relieved that you want to get closer to him . reva : yeah , yeah , you think . cassie : so why ? why does n't josh want things to go back to normal ? reva : i do n't know . i do n't know , cassie . it may be that i finally push him too far . marah : well ... jeffrey : come here . let me do that . marah : you do n't have to do that . jeffrey : it 's not a hardship . marah : i will never forget last night . it was everything i wanted it to be . except for the last part . gift , right ? and i should n't be greedy . jeffrey : all i said was that it was a gift for both of us . marah : was it ? jeffrey : and there 's nothing wrong with being greedy . be greedy with life , marah . you know , just go for it . just take out a big chunk of it and go for it . that 's what it 's for . you 're young . you 're young . so be young . be crazy . dance every dance . never sit out a song . do you understand ? just live . you 're young , you 're beautiful and you 're vibrant . so live like that . marah : jeffrey . jeffrey : goodbye . marah : ( crying ) desk clerk : ms. lewis ? you 're mother left a message in case you showed up here . your brother had emergency surgery . marah : what ? desk clerk : you should head to the hospital as soon as possible . marah : thank you . ( phone ringing ) jeffrey : yeah ? yeah , it 's me . who did you think i was ? well , what is it ? did you run the plates ? and ? interesting . all right . i 'll be right down there . yeah , i know what day it is . you 're working , are n't you ? okay , good . see you in a bit . marah : mom ? reva : oh , marah , honey , i 'm so glad you 're here . marah : i 'm sorry i did n't get here sooner . reva : yeah , we were trying to reach you all night last night . marah : yeah , i did n't have my phone on me . i just got your message . i just ... i just got your message . is shayne okay ? cassie : he 's still sleeping . reva : right . marah : what happened ? reva : he was doing some exercises on his own on christmas eve . marah : are you serious ? on his own ? reva : yes , he ... he was trying to walk again for marina on christmas morning as a gift to her . marah : oh , shayne . reva : he fell off the parallel bars and bruised his back and fluid started to collect at the spot of the trauma , and it compressed the spine to point where he could barely even hold on to his own pencil . marah : and surgery was the only option ? reva : shayne did n't want to wait . especially when he heard the surgeon talk about the fact that there could be a chance of radical improvement to his condition once the compression on his spine was released . marah : what else was there a chance of ? reva : permanent paralysis . but ed said that the surgery went okay . cassie : and his vitals are strong . which is really good news . reva : and all we could do is wait and pray for more of that . marah : dad 's not here ? reva : he was . he went over to company to get something to eat . marah : is he okay ? are you ? reva : yeah . yeah , we 're hanging in . marah : what about with each other ? are you okay ? reva : well , that depends on who you ask . i mean , i think we 're fine , but your father may not agree with that . marah : why not ? reva : well , something is bothering him . i do n't know what it is . it might be me . but whatever it is it 's creating a problem . marina : i think i told you already . but that band , on track , did n't show up at the last minute , so sandy dee - jayed . he was actually really great . i mean he was great . and everybody was up and dancing . and nico and i ... nico and i were dancing , but i pretended that you were my real partner . i closed my eyes and i could almost see you right there in front of me . so we 're going to have to go dancing when you get out of here . which will be very soon . because it is a new year . it 's your year . and everything that you have been working so hard for is going to happen . i can feel it . i want it to . hey . hey . shayne : ( mumbling ) marina : you had the surgery and they said it went fine . so you 're not going to really know anything for a couple of days , but you 're going to be great . and i 'm going to be here with you , i promise . josh : next on guiding light : alan : you have got to figure out some way to deal with this . ed : it 's too late for that , alan . it 's too late . michelle : shayne 's fine , but my dad has gone over the edge . and i need to find carrie . | happy new year ! ! ! | <s>[INST] marah : hi . jeffrey : hi . marah , it 's ... it 's morning . marah : no , it 's still dark out . jeffrey : ( laughs ) no . it really is morning . happy new year . marah : if it we were in california , it would n't be morning yet . it 's two hours earlier there . jeffrey : yeah , well , unfortunately we 're not in california . marah : let 's pretend like we are . we 're in a house on the ocean and near the surface . jeffrey : coming through the window . marah : yeah . the winds are crashing in . they 're kissing the sand . kiss ... jeffrey : ( sighs ) oh , damn it . eden : yes , i 'm worried . mr. machine man says that bill and danny are looking for serious trouble and that 's the least we hear from him ? i do n't like it . bill : hey . eden : i 've got to go . hey , you . what a surprise . bill : what are you doing ? setting up a late date ? eden : i am prepping a shoot for bad girl at tony 's ranch . bill : oh , yeah . really ? and that was tony ? eden : yeah . how about you come on the shoot and afterwards we go skiing ? bill : i 'd love to . i would love to , but i am swamped . this campaign is taking up more and more of my time . eden : actually there 's something i want to talk to you about . bill : sure . and i need to talk to you about tony . joey : happy new year , mrs. winslow . cassie : same to you , joey . tammy will be right down . she 's running late . joey : that 's tammy . nice flowers . cassie : thank you . edmund gave them to me . so did you guys have fun at the dance last night ? joey : it was great . cassie : what time did you get in ? joey : not too late . around 12 : 30 . edmund : it was exactly 1 : 37 . i know because i was very much awake at the time . the happiest of new years . tammy : so much for that new year 's resolution about not being late . hey . joey : happiest of new years . you know what ? i ca n't do this . josh : hi . shayne 's still sleeping . reva : is there any change ? josh : only on the calendar . happy new year . reva : ( laughs ) poor marina . josh : she 's young . she 'll be fine . reva : how about you ? josh : oh , i 'm old , but fine . ( laughter ) reva : you know i had a dream that we were fine . we were in the state room of this big ship . and we were in the bed and the only thing you could hear was the thrum of the engines . it was just like time had stopped . josh : i 've had dreams like that . reva : you know , yesterday when we were talking about shayne growing up , i felt so honored and so proud that he 's my son and that you 're his dad . and i guess one way to start the new year is by saying thank you . marah : i fell back asleep . jeffrey : yes , you did . marah : are you going to tell me that it 's morning again . jeffrey : well , it really is . i ca n't lie . marah : i guess it 's time to go . jeffrey : yeah , that 's probably a good idea . marah : back to our regular lives , whatever they are . jeffrey : yeah , well , that 's ... that 's who we really are . this ... well , this is like a gift that we gave to each other . marah : right . a holiday treat . jeffrey : marah , are you sorry ? marah : no . are you ? jeffrey : are you kidding ? of course not . marah : then everything 's great . you did everything you said you were going to do last night . you made me feel cherished . that was the word you used . i love that word . jeffrey : i meant it . marah : and you made me feel special . and beautiful . jeffrey : you are . marah : even this morning . jeffrey : all the time , every day . marah : but a deal 's a deal . and now i 've got to live up to my end of it . so ... jeffrey : are you all right ? marah : all the time , every day . i would n't mind cleaning up a little bit first , but , yeah , other than that i am fine . what , you do n't believe me ? jeffrey : just checking . marah : we are two adults who had a wonderful night together . and as you pointed out , it 's morning now ... somewhere out there . there 's just one other thing that i want to know . jeffrey : what ? marah : did you sleep with me out of pity ? tammy : you ca n't what ? go out to breakfast with all the guys from the baseball team ? you do n't want to go . joey : yeah , yeah , i want to go . tammy : so what is it ? joey : it 's nothing . tammy : i left my bag upstairs . i 'll be right back . edmund : cassie , will you excuse me for a minute . i think joey and i need to have a little chat . cassie : yeah , okay . edmund : hey , joey . so what seems to be the problem ? just spit it out . joey : i want today to be really special for tammy . except i 'm no good when it comes to being mr . romance , you know . edmund : well , it does take some work . joey : maybe you can help . because i 'm not even sure tammy 's ready for this . i mean it 's a big step for a girl . especially for her first time . and if there 's anyone who can make the right moves with tammy , it 's definitely you . edmund : oh , my god . josh : no . no . no , no , no , no , no . i 'm not talking about that . if i was talking about that , i would n't talk about that with you . edmund : all right , fine . then what exactly are you talking about , joey ? joey : this . edmund : a balled up bunch of tissue paper . joey : no , it 's my baseball ring . i want to give it to tammy , but i 'm not sure what to say or how to do it . edmund : oh . well , what did you have in mind ? show me . pretend i 'm tammy . joey : ( laughs ) all right . tammy ? edmund : hmm ? joey : i think you 're really great , so here . edmund : well , that 's a very good jumping off point . it has sincerity , which is a plus . but presentation could never be underestimated . so am i correct in assuming this ring came in a box ? joey : i do n't know where it is . edmund : right . right . there . hold and wait . and this top ... there . simple . it 's striking . joey : wow . that 's like ... that 's like magic . edmund : yeah , well , hold your applause until we work on the verbal portion of the program . so here just seems to lack certain poetry . joey : so what i say to tammy is suppose to rhyme ? reva : did you get any sleep at all ? josh : oh , no . not really . reva : you know what ? why do n't you go over to company and get something to eat and i 'll come and get you if there 's any news . josh : okay . thanks . ( laughs ) marina : hey . what happened ? reva : nothing yet , sweetie . josh : shayne was pretty heavily sedated last night . he 's still sleeping . marina : i got ta call my dad , let him know where i am . josh : well , i 'm going that way . i 'll walk with you . marina : all right . christopher : happy new year , reva . reva : christopher . happy new year . so are you checking up on a patient ?

i 'm a good fighter , you know . marah : no . no , i do n't want to fight . i just ... i want to get back in bed with you . we made our own rules last night . why ca n't we do it again ? jeffrey : it does n't work that way , marah . marah : not for you . but , jeffrey , i 'm not begging . i just really ... i really enjoyed being with you . jeffrey : and i really enjoyed being with you . and it 's memory that i 'm going to treasure and i hope it 's one that you will , too . marah : can you do that ? can you cherish someone one night and then not the next day ? can you turn it on and off like a switch like that ? seriously . i want to know . jeffrey : if you 're asking if this could turn into something , i 'd have to say no . hey , but you know what ? it 's a brand new year . who knows , right ? anything could happen . weird stuff happened last year . weird stuff is going to happen this year . i might even get out from under ... marah : out from under what ? jeffrey : your other shoe is over there . marah : jeffrey ... jeffrey : no , no , marah , i ca n't tell you , okay . i wish i could , but that 's one thing i know will never happen . josh : how 's he doing ? ed : he 's sleeping peacefully . his vital signs are strong . josh : how long will he be out for ? ed : could be awhile . josh : okay . ed , has michelle talked to you at all about maryanne since the photograph came out in the newspaper ? ed : no , she has n't made any connection . if she had , she 'd be all over me . i just wish this would all fade away . but that 's not going to happen , is it ? josh : i have an idea . if you talk to billy or buzz just let me know what they say , okay ? tammy : so what 's with you today ? joey : i think you 're amazingly great . and i 'm glad we got together . tammy : this is getting better . joey : and i wanted to give you something . tammy : ooh , a present . joey : oh , man . here . tammy : wow . joey , it 's your baseball ring . joey : you can have it if you want . tammy : are you kidding ? ( laughs ) i would love to . this is great . joey : here . ( laughs ) it 's a little big , but it looks good . not the most romantic presentation in the world , but least you got it on . tammy : did you just say `` presentation `` ? joey : yeah , why ? tammy : just sounds like something my uncle edmund would say . and this kind of looks like something he would carry around . joey : do n't get mad at me , okay ? i 'm ... i just wanted it to be great . bill : josh . happy new year . josh : hi , there . happy new year to you , too . both of you . eden : thanks . i have to check on those arrangements for the shoot . bill : okay . eden : excuse me . bill : well , what 's going on with you ? you look like you 've been up all night partying . josh : shayne had to have emergency surgery last night . bill : oh , he what ? josh : it went very well . i think he 's going to be fine though . bill : he 's fine ? josh : yeah . bill : good . well , give him my best . and i will check in on him later . in the meantime , i 'm sure you 've got a lot on your mind . so do n't worry about lewis , because everything 's under control over there . josh : you mind if i sit down for just a second ? bill : yeah , please . come on , sit down . josh : i wanted to talk to you about something . i 'm glad you brought it up . i 'm concerned that perhaps you 're overextending yourself a little too much . bill : what you mean with running lewis and managing the campaign ? josh : well , those are both full time jobs . bill : working twice as hard . i bet mom would be proud . josh : you work very hard and i appreciate that . but my real concern is for the company . i think maybe we 're taking on too much work . and with too many crews that we do n't know that do n't have a proven track record with us . i 'm not sure i feel comfortable with that . bill : josh , there 's no need to worry . i mean we can handle it . josh : bill , lewis construction has been very successful . and part of the key to that success has been that we have not overextended the company . now i want to keep it that way . i do n't want you to take on any new projects or make any major changes unless i personally have signed off . bill : all right , josh , why did you ask me to step in for you over at lewis ? so you could focus on shayne 's recovery without any distractions . well , you have that . and , yes , i am managing danny campaign , but i think i 've more than proven myself that i could run things over at lewis . you know better than i that emergencies pop up all the time . what if something happens ? we 're going to stop everything to try to track you down ? we ca n't do that . now you ca n't expect me to run this operation then micromanage every step of the way . it 's just ... it 's not going to work . unless of course , you just do n't trust me . is that what 's going here ? is this a trust issue ? josh : bill ... bill : because let me tell you , since i 've filled in for you ... josh : bill ... bill : the projects that ... josh : just stop . i trust you . if i did n't trust you , you would n't be running the show . now we can leave things the way they are for the time being . but i do n't want you to be a cowboy . i do n't want you losing my company . bill : of course not . in fact , i will copy you on every memo and i will fill you in on every detail the best i can . listen , beyond that it 's got to be my call , and that 's for the company 's sake . josh : okay . eden : tony , i asked bill point blank . he 's gotten no threats . but mr. machine knows somebody that 's got something on him or danny or both . and we got to find out who it is . marah : get out from under what ? your job ? being a lawyer ? jeffrey : you know , it 's getting closer to afternoon every minute . marah : well , you should tell me . the sooner you tell me , the sooner i go . jeffrey : look , marah , we 're not going top spend the little bit of time we have left together talking about our stupid careers , are we ? marah : i 'm not interested in that either . jeffrey : well , why do you keep asking ? marah : does n't it feel good to know that somebody cares about what makes you you ? jeffrey : i never thought about it before . marah : how is that possible ? i do n't think it is . because the way you looked at me last night and the way you touched me only a man with a whole world of feelings inside of him could have done that . jeffrey : well , it was just me . marah : i liked him . the man you were last night . you 're so much more than i expected . jeffrey : no extra charge . marah : would it really be so bad to open up to me ? jeffrey : what am i suppose to just open up to you , right ? open my heart up to you . pour out all my feelings . is that what i 'm supposed to do ? marah : i could stay the afternoon . jeffrey : marah , do n't go looking for that man from last night . because you 'll never see him again . tammy : so what 's new in the world ? edmund : hey , tammy . oh , everything . nothing , you know , usual . tammy : i do n't know if i agree with the nothing part . edmund : why ? do you have some news ? tammy : uh - uh . nope . just had breakfast with a bunch of baseball guys and their girlfriends . pretty crazy . jeffrey : yes , i could i can only imagine . tammy : we watched so many ball games , i ca n't even remember who played in them now . edmund : hmm . that 's nice . tammy : uncle edmund , do you know what 's really romantic ? edmund : what ? tammy : when a guy makes a big fuss over you . i mean , what girl would n't love it if a guy decided to show how much he cared by giving her a super special gift and a sweet little speech to go along with it . especially when she knows he planned the whole thing entirely by himself . edmund : hmm . is that my handkerchief ? tammy : is it ? i was wondering how i got a hold of that . edmund : why , tammy winslow , what is that on your finger ? my goodness , that is quite a ring . you did n't have that on when you left this morning . tammy : have you ever seen a baseball team ring before ? edmund : why , no i never have . ( both laugh ) tammy : nice try . and thank you . edmund : my pleasure . did joey do me proud ? tammy : proud enough . cassie : reva ? why did n't you call me the minute this happened ? reva : well , because that 's the way shayne wanted it , you know , kind of low key . cassie : low key ? he had surgery . reva : exactly . he did n't want to ruin everyone else 's new year 's eve . cassie : i 'm not everyone . i 'm family . i 'm your sister . reva : okay , okay . are you finished ? cassie : how is he ? reva : he 's still sleep . but ed said that his vitals are strong . and we wo n't really know how the operation affected his overall condition for another day or so . cassie : poor kid . he 's just been through so much . and so have you and josh . how are you guys doing ? reva : we 're okay . at least i 'm not the one pushing us apart anymore . in fact , i 'd like to be moving closer . cassie : but josh is pulling away . reva : josh , yeah . yeah . i mean he just ... you know , if it were up to me , i 'd ask him to move back in today , but he does n't seem to be ready for it . cassie : that 's so weird . you 'd think he would be so relieved that you want to get closer to him . reva : yeah , yeah , you think . cassie : so why ? why does n't josh want things to go back to normal ? reva : i do n't know . i do n't know , cassie . it may be that i finally push him too far . marah : well ... jeffrey : come here . let me do that . marah : you do n't have to do that . jeffrey : it 's not a hardship . marah : i will never forget last night . it was everything i wanted it to be . except for the last part . gift , right ? and i should n't be greedy . jeffrey : all i said was that it was a gift for both of us . marah : was it ? jeffrey : and there 's nothing wrong with being greedy . be greedy with life , marah . you know , just go for it . just take out a big chunk of it and go for it . that 's what it 's for . you 're young . you 're young . so be young . be crazy . dance every dance . never sit out a song . do you understand ? just live . you 're young , you 're beautiful and you 're vibrant . so live like that . marah : jeffrey . jeffrey : goodbye . marah : ( crying ) desk clerk : ms. lewis ? you 're mother left a message in case you showed up here . your brother had emergency surgery . marah : what ? desk clerk : you should head to the hospital as soon as possible . marah : thank you . ( phone ringing ) jeffrey : yeah ? yeah , it 's me . who did you think i was ? well , what is it ? did you run the plates ? and ? interesting . all right . i 'll be right down there . yeah , i know what day it is . you 're working , are n't you ? okay , good . see you in a bit . marah : mom ? reva : oh , marah , honey , i 'm so glad you 're here . marah : i 'm sorry i did n't get here sooner . reva : yeah , we were trying to reach you all night last night . marah : yeah , i did n't have my phone on me . i just got your message . i just ... i just got your message . is shayne okay ? cassie : he 's still sleeping . reva : right . marah : what happened ? reva : he was doing some exercises on his own on christmas eve . marah : are you serious ? on his own ? reva : yes , he ... he was trying to walk again for marina on christmas morning as a gift to her . marah : oh , shayne . reva : he fell off the parallel bars and bruised his back and fluid started to collect at the spot of the trauma , and it compressed the spine to point where he could barely even hold on to his own pencil . marah : and surgery was the only option ? reva : shayne did n't want to wait . especially when he heard the surgeon talk about the fact that there could be a chance of radical improvement to his condition once the compression on his spine was released . marah : what else was there a chance of ? reva : permanent paralysis . but ed said that the surgery went okay . cassie : and his vitals are strong . which is really good news . reva : and all we could do is wait and pray for more of that . marah : dad 's not here ? reva : he was . he went over to company to get something to eat . marah : is he okay ? are you ? reva : yeah . yeah , we 're hanging in . marah : what about with each other ? are you okay ? reva : well , that depends on who you ask . i mean , i think we 're fine , but your father may not agree with that . marah : why not ? reva : well , something is bothering him . i do n't know what it is . it might be me . but whatever it is it 's creating a problem . marina : i think i told you already . but that band , on track , did n't show up at the last minute , so sandy dee - jayed . he was actually really great . i mean he was great . and everybody was up and dancing . and nico and i ... nico and i were dancing , but i pretended that you were my real partner . i closed my eyes and i could almost see you right there in front of me . so we 're going to have to go dancing when you get out of here . which will be very soon . because it is a new year . it 's your year . and everything that you have been working so hard for is going to happen . i can feel it . i want it to . hey . hey . shayne : ( mumbling ) marina : you had the surgery and they said it went fine . so you 're not going to really know anything for a couple of days , but you 're going to be great . and i 'm going to be here with you , i promise . josh : next on guiding light : alan : you have got to figure out some way to deal with this . ed : it 's too late for that , alan . it 's too late . michelle : shayne 's fine , but my dad has gone over the edge . and i need to find carrie .Summarize.[/INST]happy new year ! ! !</s> | 12,326 |

[ scene_break ] daniel : i ca n't believe you ca n't find the donor . it 's unconscionable . how could they volunteer for something like this , knowing how bad bo 's condition is , and then just simply disappear after being tested ? lexie : i 'm sure there 's a good reason . daniel : only if they 've been abducted by aliens . short of that one excuse , there is not one damn decent reason . because the minute you are tested , you wait by the phone and you stay ready . otherwise , do n't waste my time . lexie : they 'll be found . i 'm sure of it . daniel : and if they 're not ? lexie : well , as you are so fond of saying , doctor , let 's just take this one step at a time .

austin : since carrie and i decided to stay in salem , and since she 's busy helping john against ej 's class - action lawsuit , there 's really no reason for me to turn down salem u 's offer to teach . abigail : yeah , right , great . austin : and i know that i 'm making the right decision . i 'm just a little worried about the whole ... teaching part . and ... that 's what i wanted to talk to you about . abigail : okay . i 'm just not really sure how i can help you . austin : what do you think makes a good teacher ? abigail : um ... someone who ... someone who loves what they teach ... austin : mm - hmm . abigail : and , uh , who cares about their students , who cares that they 're actually going to learn stuff , i think . austin : [ laughs ] and that 's it ? abigail : yes , that 's it . will you relax already ? your students are going to love you ... especially the girls . austin : oh , yeah . yeah , right . no , i just -- i just do n't want to appear ... out of touch to the students , you know ? abigail : ah , well , stay away from tweed and bow ties , and i think you 'll do just fine . austin : somehow i think it 's a little more involved than that . abigail : all right , um ... let me think . do n't drink the coffee at cougar grill . i mean , uh , senior skip day 's at the end of the year normally . austin : no , that 's -- that 's what -- no , that kind of stuff right there -- that 's what i 'm talking about . that 's the gold . i want you to be my teacher . abigail : i would love that . sami : kate , do me a favor and go ruin someone else 's day , okay ? kate : what ? what , are you too busy being abused by madison ? sami : look , she could be back any minute . kate : well , i do n't care . i 'm not afraid of her . are you ? sami : i just want you to leave me alone . that 's all i want . leave me alone , okay ? kate : okay , sami ... sami , wait a second . does she treat you like this all the time ? sami : no , of course not . but , you know , if she 's mad and -- she should n't see me talking to you , 'cause you 're just going to get me in trouble . kate : okay , i do n't get this . i do n't get this at all . where is your backbone , your spine , your grit ? sami : how many mimosas have you had today ? kate : the sami that i used to know would have chewed her up and spit her out in a salem second . sami : yeah , well , that sami did n't have four kids to support and bills to pay . kate : okay , then be true to yourself and stand up to her . demand that she treat you with respect and dignity . sami : are you serious ? then she 'll fire me , just like she 's threatening to . that 's , of course , exactly what you want , is n't it ? hope : tapping susan 's phone -- it 's the only way you could have known i called her . stefano : oh , maybe susan called me to warn me about your snooping . you see , hope , you are so predictable that i knew you were going to call susan in england the moment you realized that your grandmother helped elvis . hope : no , no , no , you knew that susan wrote gran a letter asking for help . stefano : okay , that 's no secret . it 's also no secret that she did n't want me around my son at that time . bo : why did n't you just kidnap elvis ? i mean , i 'm sure the thought crossed your mind . stefano : a lot of thoughts cross my mind , bo . you 'd be very surprised at what i 'm thinking right now . and when it comes to susan and elvis , i have kept an eye on them , but i really thought it was very wise of susan to ask for alice 's help . hope : and you did n't interfere ? stefano : why would i ? i mean , she had so many connections in the -- in the medical field . i mean , she could pull more strings than anyone . bo : even you . stefano : i realize , just as you do , that alice was someone that would help anyone , even a dimera . bo : so you let mrs. h help junior . stefano : he 's my son . why would i turn away anyone that could possibly help save his life ? hope : why did n't you tell me that before ? stefano : i told you -- i already told you that if she wanted you to know , she would have told you , but she did not . hope : i 'm not so sure about that . stefano : oh , come on , she had decades to tell you , if she wanted to -- decades , all right ? but she did not , so why do n't you take that as a clue and just let it go ? bo : you know , i bet he was good at dodgeball when he was younger and thinner . hope : i 'm sure my grandmother had a very good reason for waiting to tell me , and i trust that . but whatever that reason , she made damn sure she left clues behind for me to follow . stefano : oh , do n't tell me you 're going to go back to the paperweights and my supposed bond with your grandmother . hope : oh , no . i thought maybe we 'd move on to this . want to tell me why my grandmother had it ? stefano : interesting . may i ask how this ended up in your hands ? bo : it does n't matter . the point is , mrs. h had it , and we 'd like you to tell us why . stefano : because i know everything , right ? past , future ... bo : just answer the question . hope : we 've heard a lot of stories about these vouchers , but we always wrote them off ... as part of your mythology . stefano : `` mythology . `` [ chuckles ] i love it . [ sighs ] hope : that 's the first time we 've actually seen one in person . i ca n't imagine for the life of me why my grandmother had it . bo : why did you give mrs. h your version of a `` get out of jail free `` card ? stefano : i understand ... how very much this means to you . but ... you 'll get no answers from me . abigail : and your students will think it 's totally cool when you casually mention that you used to be a stud boxer . [ both chuckle ] abigail : do you still box ? austin : no , no , that 's in the past ... along with several teeth . abigail : oh , yeah . austin : no , i do n't -- i do n't regret boxing . i mean , it led to other things , and those things led me back here to salem . abigail : which led to us here now , talking . austin : right , right . but one thing 's for certain . i 'm a much better forensic accountant than i ever was a boxer . abigail : and i 'm sure you 'll make an even better professor , austin . austin : [ sighs ] i hope so . abigail : you know , it 's funny ... speaking of one thing leading to another , i came to salem and was interning at the hospital originally . i just -- i wanted to help people , you know ? and then i got there , and there were all these tubes and needles and -- and those hospital gowns , which never hide what they are supposed to , if you know what i mean ? austin : oh , yeah . no , i understand . abigail : so ... i do n't know . austin : so it 's not going to be health care for you . what do you think it 's going to be ? abigail : well , right now i 'm kind of thinking journalism . austin : you gon na follow in your parents ' footsteps , yeah ? abigail : i guess , yeah . it 's funny -- i just wrote this article for the salem u sports website , and my father submitted it to a journalism competition , unbeknownst to me , of course . but i , um ... well , long story short , i , uh -- i won . austin : well , abby , come on , congratulations . abigail : thanks . austin : no , that 's great . abigail : thanks . the ceremony 's tonight . austin : oh , you 've got to be so excited . abigail : i am . i am -- very excited . do you want to come ? melanie : i was going to call abigail and see where she is , but i ca n't find my phone . maybe i left it -- gabi : oh , it 's not a big deal . i mean , she 's -- she 's been gone pretty much the whole day . melanie : no , no , no , i just got a new phone . if i lost another one , i 'm gon na freak out . gabi : so go get it . melanie : like this ? gabi : yeah , i mean , we 're in a spa . does n't matter if you come out in a towel or a robe . melanie : that 's true . it 's not like i 'm naked .
