( cell phone rings ) excuse me . hey , mallet ? if you 're still waiting on an answer on the police force , man i still need some time . mallet : there is something else we need to discuss . edmund 's death . you know you two are still my only witnesses . remy : i told you , we were out by the river , we heard voices , but we did n't see anybody . mallet : that does n't matter . those voices are my best leads . you know what , come down to the station and i 'll explain it all then . all right . bye . [ scene_break ] jeffrey : what 's up ? olivia : i need a favor . jeffrey : do i need to sit down for this ? olivia : it 's about rafe . i was wondering if you could speak at his hearing . you know , since you were the victim , that it might help , and since you have a new little boy of your own i thought you would be a little more sympathetic to natalia and her son . jeffrey : i like rafe . of course i will . be glad to do that . olivia : good . jeffrey : but you know , you did n't have to come all the way over here to ask me that . so what else is on your mind ? olivia : do n't go all black ops on me . i 'm just talking to a friend . jeffrey : uh - huh . olivia : this hearing could change everything , and i 'm not just talking to rafe . jeffrey : oh , you mean when rafe comes home , he might discover that you and his mom are closer than ... olivia : we 're not even a couple , yet , really . jeffrey : well , what are you ? olivia : we 're two people who are together , and we 're friends . and a bit more . jeffrey : a couple . olivia : we 're just ... we do n't want to label it . jeffrey : that 's what all couples say in the beginning . olivia : okay , all i want is for natalia to be happy . but i also know that rafe coming back could keep us apart . rafe and emma , i do n't know how this is going to affect them . jeffrey : everything changes when there 's a child involved . you know , you do everything you can to protect them , but sometimes you go too far . olivia : are we still talking about me ? i messed this up , right . i should never have told you i saw reva with edmund right before he died . reva : hello , olivia . olivia : reva ? reva : so you 're the rat , i should have known .

[ scene_break ] olivia : i 'm sorry . i was n't trying to stab you in the back . reva : of course not . no worries . besides what could you have seen ? olivia : just saw you and edmund from a distance , and it seemed like you were arguing . reva : so you did n't see me push him in the lake , hang him , shoot him , kick him till he dropped ? well , but if you want to go to the police , that 'll make your day . jeffrey : no one 's going to the police . olivia : why , do you have something to hide ? jeffrey : no .

[ scene_break ] dinah : i hope lightning does n't strike us down right now . shayne : you know , we have to give a proper send off otherwise we 'll never get rid of him . right ? dinah : yeah . shayne : he 's going to linger if we do n't , like a bad ... you know , like a bad what . josh : hey . shayne : hey . josh : i got your message . shayne : thanks for coming . josh : sure , sure . edmund made a big impact on all of us while he was alive . i guess it makes some sense to acknowledge his death . dinah : yes , i think you are right . josh : how are you doing , are you okay ? shayne : i 'm okay . i 'm okay . you know , he ... i do n't know , for me he gave me connection to lara when i badly needed one , but he was who he was , right ? people do n't change . josh : well , he 's gone now . he 's not going to hurt anybody ever again . mallet : what have we got here ? marina : hey . shayne : hey . marina : i hope we 're not late . shayne : no , you are just in time . marina : good , good , i am glad to be here to help send edmund off to wherever it is that he is going . and hey , after today we wo n't have to worry about him causing any more trouble , right ? did you say i hi to uncle shayne ? dinah : you would never know he 's been sick . he looks great , he looks wonderful . marina : yeah . you know , the doctors say they get sick fast , they get healthy fast , you know ? in our case , we 're lucky we found a blood donor fast . josh : sorry . marina : come to me . shayne : he 's all right , is n't he ? josh : he 's a cute kid . marina : yes . he 's fine . he 's fine . we 've got another check up today , huh , bud ? shayne : he does n't need another blood donation or anything like that , does he ? marina : no , no i mean hopefully not . we 'll find out today . what can i do to help ? shayne : nothing . here , we 're going to have a toast . actually all you need to do is get ready to rock ' n ' roll . to life . one of edmund 's problems was he did n't allow himself to connect with anyone . we were all very lucky to have each other . here to knowing that we 'll never be alone . cheers . everyone : cheers . [ scene_break ] reva : wow , it looks like they already started without us . jeffrey : are you sure you want to do this ? reva : absolutely . what about you , olivia ? are you ready to dance ? olivia : i can twist , tango , i do it all . reva : hey . shayne : hey , you came . reva : yeah , hi , baby . did you go ahead and open the champagne without us ? you did , but guess what ? there 's plenty . just a little bit for me because i 'm supposed to be a good girl . olivia : you know , i actually thought that he had changed , become more of a human being . shayne : we had fun that day , did n't we ? olivia : yeah . i just hoped that being a parent would have lightened him up , you know , even though he did n't have a lot of time with his daughter . shayne : five minutes with lara would change your life . olivia : well , being a parent changed me . i guess it was just a little too late for him . shayne : you know , i am ... i wish that things did n't end so badly for him . but i think it 's time for all of us to move on . so jeffrey , would you like to say anything about edmund ? jeffrey : no , that 's okay , shayne . you go ahead . i think that out of all the people here , he might have actually cared about you the most . shayne : okay . edmund ... edmund let his hatred and his mistrust run his life . and because of that , he died alone and no one misses him . i do n't think he ever understood what he was missing out on by not ... by not letting good people into his life . so i hope that ... i hope that we all can learn from edmund 's mistakes . that man was a tortured soul , and i just hope he 's at peace now . josh : i guess most of us are stronger for having survived him . dinah : he left me to die in a burning house . i think it made me stronger . jeffrey : one of my highlights was a burning barn . reva : tried to drown me and my baby . he tried to drive us off the side of a cliff . so i say to his killer , job well done , sir . christina : i do n't know about this , mallet . remy : yeah , we know those people , man . they 're good people . mallet : listen , that 's all the pore reason to rule them out of this murder investigation , okay ? just think of this as , like , an audio line - up . just forget the faces , forget the friendships . you just concentrate on that voice . that 's all that matters , okay ? all right . come on , let 's do it . maybe something will jog your memory so you can identify the killer 's voice . all right ? remy , you can do this , right ? remy : yeah , yeah , i 'm always up for a party . mallet : let 's do it . remy : is this a private ceremony or can anyone join in ? shayne : oh , no , you 're more than welcome . thank you for coming . jeffrey : are you on the clock , mallet ? marina : no , he is not . he 's just here as a friend to show some support . no shop talk . mallet : no , i wanted to give shayne something . i guess since you 're the closest thing edmund had to the next of kin , this was found among his personal affects . i guess it 's a speech he taped . he was going to put in the time capsule for the foundation of lara 's hospital wing . josh : wait , wait , wait , just a second . because i do n't know that shayne should see that right now . it 's ... shayne : dad , it 's all right . i 'm okay . go ahead and cue it up , let 's watch it . edmund : for future generations , you 've obviously discovered our time capsule . its consents i think do a pretty good job of saying who we were , and what we were , but i do n't think it does a very good job of saying why we were . and that 's ... that is what i would like to try and do here . my name is edmund winslow , and the lara project was established to honor the memory of my daughter . i ... i did n't know lara for very long . indeed i met her when she was a grown woman . she was a lovely , beautiful , accomplished young lady who dedicated her life to helping others . i could talk for hours about her but that 's not why i 'm here . i 'm here to talk about you . we are ... all of us now living , we are all of us dust now . but that does n't mean you ca n't learn from us . from our successes and our failures , from our sacrifices and our selfishness . i lived most of my life as a very selfish man . all i thought about was me , and that left me empty and alone . i was a prince . they called me prince edmund and i valued that title pretty much over everything in the world . but if i could spend just a few seconds , a few moments making my daughter 's life happier , i would gladly give up the palace and such titles . why is it we do n't value the precious moments in life ? why do we waste so much time with things ? the things that really matter are those ... are those moments that bind us together . if you learn from us ... from me , learn from me . if you are lucky enough to be loved ... if you 're lucky enough to be loved , hold on to it . hold it in your heart . if you value things over the laughter of a child , over the touch of a loved one , think of my daughter . think of lara and fill your life the way she filled hers . and if you 're searching , if you 're one of the many people searching , never give up . never , never , never , never give up . even when the world seems to turn its back on you , there 's hope . take it from this old saying , there 's hope . josh : well , as bad as edmund was , he obviously loved his daughter , and it 's unfortunate that he did n't have a chance to spend more time with her while she was growing up . maybe it would have changed him . maybe if he had had the chance to do those things that really stay with a father , you know , helping her blow out her birthday candles or watching her take her first steps . jeffrey : maybe if he had , things would have been different for him and his victims . shayne : maybe if that were the case , that he would have been able to rise above the terrible things that he 's done to everyone . i do n't know . i mean , i understand how you guys must feel . it 's a little different for me . i got to see him at his best . watching him express true love for his daughter . but i wish it would 've changed him . reva : well , i hated the man . jeffrey : okay , reva , maybe we should -- reva : no , really , let me finish . come on . we all know . he was a bastard , right , he was a monster . and seeing the way it ended for him made me aware of all of the blessings that i have . maybe he had to die to make us all realize that we 're not alone like he was . that we 're all loved unlike he was . and maybe finally with him dying , he made something worthwhile of his life . he did n't die in vain , right ? cheers to that . christina : that 's the voice i heard by the river with edmund . it was reva . reva : he has too big a heart . he still wants to believe that there was good in edmund . josh : edmund deserved everything he got . [ scene_break ] marina : all right , i am going to stop by the restaurant and make sure that my grandpa is okay and then i 'll take henry over to the hospital . i 'll see you there , yeah ? he 's going to be okay , honey . mallet : yeah . yeah . all right , sport , i got to go . all right , papa 's got to go back to work . i will see you and your mama later at the doctor 's office , all right ? do n't you worry about a thing . nobody 's ever going to hurt you , ever . [ scene_break ] shayne : hey . marina : i hope today helped . shayne : it did . dinah : did it help ? shayne : it did . thank you for being a good friend . marina : of course . shayne : i 'm not really sure that i believe in closure , really , but i 'm happy that ... i 'm happy that i could do one last thing for lara , to send her dad off in a proper way . marina : good . i 'll see you guys . shayne : marina ? good luck at the doctor with henry . marina : thanks . dinah : what are you thinking ? shayne : i 'm thinking you are right . i ca n't go on like this . i have to tell marina . i mean it 's not like i 'm taking henry away from her , right ? it 's just ... i need to get her on her own and explain . dinah : i 'll go with you , if you want . shayne : no . no , no , no , no , no . i need to do this alone . how do i find the right words to do this ? marina and i grew up together . when we were young , she helped me through so many things . i mean day after day , she kept me going , she stuck by me . how do i look her in the eyes and destroy her whole world ? how do i -- dinah : you 're not going it to destroy her . shayne , we all find a way to make it work . you tell the truth , that 's all you can do . and then you look at the bright side of things . shayne : the bright side of things . dinah : yes . shayne : what the hell is that going to mean ? dinah : without you , marina would n't have a child . shayne : see you soon . [ scene_break ] josh : was that really necessary ? really , that little slideshow of edmund 's ? you had to put my son through that right now . mallet : a man 's dead . granted not a very nice man , but maybe people in this town need to be reminded that everyone 's death does have consequences . [ scene_break ] olivia : hi , natalia , it 's me . look , i know we ca n't move in together right now , not yet anyway . but i ... i want you to know one thing . nothing is going to get in our way because you are way too important to me . and if you need anything , you know , you or rafe , you can count on me because we 're in this together , right ? whatever this is ? it 's what i want more than anything . [ scene_break ] mallet : hey , so you sure that was reva 's voice that you heard ? christina : yeah , i wish it was n't , but that was the voice i heard in the park with edmund . mallet : wow , so edmund and reva down by the river together . christina : it does n't mean she 's guilty . you 're going to talk to her first , right ? mallet : yeah , yeah , yeah , yeah , do n't worry about that . it 's just the start of the murder investigation . thanks for your help . christina : are you okay ? remy : uh - huh . just edmund , the guy had all the riches , you know , and all he did was hurt people . he did n't deserve them . christina : well , it 's like they say , money does n't bring happiness . remy : not so sure about that . [ scene_break ] reva : hey , what 's the rush ? jeffrey : no rush , just got to get back to colin , and lillian 's got to get back to the hospital so ... mallet : hey , reva , wait . you know , i 'm working on edmund 's case , and a few things have come up and i think that we need to talk . [ scene_break ] shayne : marina . marina : hey , what are you doing here ? did i leave something at the park ? shayne : no , no , nothing like that . marina : his binky -- he 's always dropping that thing . i should buy them by the case . shayne : no , no , just something that i needed to talk to you about , something on my mind . marina : okay . what is it ? we could always tell each other anything , right ?

you did , but guess what ? there 's plenty . just a little bit for me because i 'm supposed to be a good girl . olivia : you know , i actually thought that he had changed , become more of a human being . shayne : we had fun that day , did n't we ? olivia : yeah . i just hoped that being a parent would have lightened him up , you know , even though he did n't have a lot of time with his daughter . shayne : five minutes with lara would change your life . olivia : well , being a parent changed me . i guess it was just a little too late for him . shayne : you know , i am ... i wish that things did n't end so badly for him . but i think it 's time for all of us to move on . so jeffrey , would you like to say anything about edmund ? jeffrey : no , that 's okay , shayne . you go ahead . i think that out of all the people here , he might have actually cared about you the most . shayne : okay . edmund ... edmund let his hatred and his mistrust run his life . and because of that , he died alone and no one misses him . i do n't think he ever understood what he was missing out on by not ... by not letting good people into his life . so i hope that ... i hope that we all can learn from edmund 's mistakes . that man was a tortured soul , and i just hope he 's at peace now . josh : i guess most of us are stronger for having survived him . dinah : he left me to die in a burning house . i think it made me stronger . jeffrey : one of my highlights was a burning barn . reva : tried to drown me and my baby . he tried to drive us off the side of a cliff . so i say to his killer , job well done , sir . christina : i do n't know about this , mallet . remy : yeah , we know those people , man . they 're good people . mallet : listen , that 's all the pore reason to rule them out of this murder investigation , okay ? just think of this as , like , an audio line - up . just forget the faces , forget the friendships . you just concentrate on that voice . that 's all that matters , okay ? all right . come on , let 's do it . maybe something will jog your memory so you can identify the killer 's voice . all right ? remy , you can do this , right ? remy : yeah , yeah , i 'm always up for a party . mallet : let 's do it . remy : is this a private ceremony or can anyone join in ? shayne : oh , no , you 're more than welcome . thank you for coming . jeffrey : are you on the clock , mallet ? marina : no , he is not . he 's just here as a friend to show some support . no shop talk . mallet : no , i wanted to give shayne something . i guess since you 're the closest thing edmund had to the next of kin , this was found among his personal affects . i guess it 's a speech he taped . he was going to put in the time capsule for the foundation of lara 's hospital wing . josh : wait , wait , wait , just a second . because i do n't know that shayne should see that right now . it 's ... shayne : dad , it 's all right . i 'm okay . go ahead and cue it up , let 's watch it . edmund : for future generations , you 've obviously discovered our time capsule . its consents i think do a pretty good job of saying who we were , and what we were , but i do n't think it does a very good job of saying why we were . and that 's ... that is what i would like to try and do here . my name is edmund winslow , and the lara project was established to honor the memory of my daughter . i ... i did n't know lara for very long . indeed i met her when she was a grown woman . she was a lovely , beautiful , accomplished young lady who dedicated her life to helping others . i could talk for hours about her but that 's not why i 'm here . i 'm here to talk about you . we are ... all of us now living , we are all of us dust now . but that does n't mean you ca n't learn from us . from our successes and our failures , from our sacrifices and our selfishness . i lived most of my life as a very selfish man . all i thought about was me , and that left me empty and alone . i was a prince . they called me prince edmund and i valued that title pretty much over everything in the world . but if i could spend just a few seconds , a few moments making my daughter 's life happier , i would gladly give up the palace and such titles . why is it we do n't value the precious moments in life ? why do we waste so much time with things ? the things that really matter are those ... are those moments that bind us together . if you learn from us ... from me , learn from me . if you are lucky enough to be loved ... if you 're lucky enough to be loved , hold on to it . hold it in your heart . if you value things over the laughter of a child , over the touch of a loved one , think of my daughter . think of lara and fill your life the way she filled hers . and if you 're searching , if you 're one of the many people searching , never give up . never , never , never , never give up . even when the world seems to turn its back on you , there 's hope . take it from this old saying , there 's hope . josh : well , as bad as edmund was , he obviously loved his daughter , and it 's unfortunate that he did n't have a chance to spend more time with her while she was growing up . maybe it would have changed him . maybe if he had had the chance to do those things that really stay with a father , you know , helping her blow out her birthday candles or watching her take her first steps . jeffrey : maybe if he had , things would have been different for him and his victims . shayne : maybe if that were the case , that he would have been able to rise above the terrible things that he 's done to everyone . i do n't know . i mean , i understand how you guys must feel . it 's a little different for me . i got to see him at his best . watching him express true love for his daughter . but i wish it would 've changed him . reva : well , i hated the man . jeffrey : okay , reva , maybe we should -- reva : no , really , let me finish . come on . we all know . he was a bastard , right , he was a monster . and seeing the way it ended for him made me aware of all of the blessings that i have . maybe he had to die to make us all realize that we 're not alone like he was . that we 're all loved unlike he was . and maybe finally with him dying , he made something worthwhile of his life . he did n't die in vain , right ? cheers to that . christina : that 's the voice i heard by the river with edmund . it was reva . reva : he has too big a heart . he still wants to believe that there was good in edmund . josh : edmund deserved everything he got .

[ silenced gunshot ] sami : i was n't even really thinking about it . i just did it . and i 'm just staring there , and he 's ... and then i 'm just staring at his head and the blood , and all i could think about was getting out of there . and i ended up at the pier , and i threw the gun away in the river , and ... [ water splashes ] and even knowing what a horrible thing i had done ... i knew i had protected my kids . i had stopped him from hurting them . and i went back to rafe 's and , uh ... and he was still asleep and i thought , oh , my god , maybe i 'm gon na get away with this . maybe -- maybe god is on my side this time . maybe he thinks it 's okay because -- because no one saw me do it . but obviously , i was wrong . i do n't -- i do n't think that god thinks it 's okay .

[ scene_break ] arianna : okay , so i actually think i can say this , because my brother 's not here and , well , you 're unconscious . the two of you are a lot alike . and maybe that 's why , in spite of everything everyone says about you , in spite of the horrible things that you 've done , i think there 's one hell of a guy in there .

[ scene_break ] will : okay , i get that you had to stop him . but that did n't mean you had to try and kill him . sami : that was n't my plan . will : you -- you could have told -- you could have told rafe . sami : no ! will : why not ? sami : because i did n't know what he would do , and i certainly was n't gon na let him get in trouble for me . he 's already paid enough for getting mixed up with me . will : yeah , that 's true . maybe you could have gone to a lawyer . you could have told grandpa roman . you could have told uncle bo . sami : right , 'cause we 've done such a great job of stopping the dimeras ? i was n't thinking clearly . someday you 're gon na have a kid of your own , and you 're gon na know what it feels like . i just reacted . will : you really think he would do that ? sami : he already has . will : yeah , i know . sami : look , i did n't go there to kill him , i swear to you . i swear that it was not my plan . i went there to argue with him . to negotiate , to beg . to plead . but no one was around . i could n't find him , so i went upstairs , looking for him and , uh , and i found him in my bedroom . he was passed out on my bed . get up ! i am not letting you take my children from me ! it is not happening , ej ! you get up ! and he reeked of alcohol ... and there was stuff from the wedding there , and -- and this picture that johnny had drawn of all of us together ... and he had a gun in his hand . i think he was gon na kill himself . will : what ? sami : i do n't know if he changed his mind or if he just passed out . but even laying there , all i could think about is how he 's always in control , how it 's always his way , and he does n't care who he hurts . and that every morning he woke up , knowing that sydney was okay . and every morning , i woke up with one split second of peace before the world would come crashing back to me , and i would realize that my daughter was gone , and i did n't know if she was okay , and i did n't know if she was alive or dead . i did n't know if someone was taking care of her or ... she or if they were hurting her . all i knew , looking at ej lying there is that i could n't let it happen again . i picked up the gun ... and i shot him . [ silenced gunshot ] sami : i was n't even really thinking about it . i just did it . and i 'm just staring there , and he 's ... and then i 'm just staring at his head and the blood , and all i could think about was getting out of there . and i ended up at the pier , and i threw the gun away in the river , and ... [ water splashes ] and even knowing what a horrible thing i had done ... i knew i had protected my kids . i had stopped him from hurting them . and i went back to rafe 's and , uh ... and he was still asleep and i thought , oh , my god , maybe i 'm gon na get away with this . maybe -- maybe god is on my side this time . maybe he thinks it 's okay because -- because no one saw me do it . but obviously , i was wrong . i do n't -- i do n't think that god thinks it 's okay .

[ stammers ] but wait a minute . why would xander want that diary in the first place ? jennifer : because he thought it could be valuable to him , but then he had a change of heart when he heard about will . jack : so he gave the diary to will 's doctors ? jennifer : yes , so then they had rolf 's formula , and they made an antidote that saved will 's life , which means they have the original serum , jack . which means you could get your memory back . is n't that incredible ? jack : not interested . no , not interested . eve : i 'm listening . i 'm here on behalf of ben weston . he asked me to represent him . eve : and you agreed ? justin ! why on earth would you help a maniac after what he did to -- to will and sonny ? ! justin : i 'm well aware of what ben weston did , which is why i almost turned down . but i did n't , because of you . eve : me ? ! son of a bitch murdered my daughter and strangled sonny 's husband ! justin : eve , you violated his civil rights . have you ever heard of habeas corpus ? ! eve : that is the da 's issue . justin : well , there is no da ! ted laurent quit , and he has n't been replaced . eve : got an idea . what if you became the new da ? justin : [ laughs ] nicole : knock yourself out , nancy drew . oh , a dress . a pile of ashes . a handshake to cement my divorce with xander . ooh ! if you look hard enough , maybe you 'll find professor plum somewhere around here . kate : oh , so you think this is funny . nicole : no , i think you 're trespassing , and i want you to get the hell out . kate : okay , then why do n't you call the cops and have them drag me out ? but you 're not gon na do that , are you ? because there 's something here that you do n't want me to see , and you know why ? because you are guilty as sin . downtherecare with cottonelle . justin : eve , there 's another thing you need to learn about your new job . the police commissioner does n't appoint the da . the mayor does . eve : i think jack would be on board for it . i do . i think , actually , he would be thrilled to have someone as skilled and experienced at the job as you , and guess what , you know ? you guys are family . jack : yeah , yeah . jack has n't exactly embraced his family . eve : well he cares about you . and he loves jj . actually , i do n't think he really wants the book thrown at his son , to be honest . justin : oh , i see . you want me to come on board to take it easy on jj , but ben weston , not so much . eve : ben was just caught trying to burn two other people alive . you really want to see him get off , justin ? justin : well , that depends on whether he 's guilty or not . eve : eli caught him at the scene of the crime , a can of kerosene at his feet , and a lighter in his hand . justin : eve , i do know what you went through when paige died . and i understand why you think ben weston has n't paid , but -- eve : but what ? ! you think he has ? because he gets to wander the streets of salem with a hot girlfriend in tow , acting all smug and arrogant ? no , justin . having lost my only child to that son of a bitch 's hand , he has n't paid nearly enough . but you can rest assured he will . jennifer : you do n't want your memory back ? jack : i did n't say that . i did n't say that . but this miracle drug has a very serious side effect . will has a brain tumor . what is the point of me getting my memories back if i 'm just gon na die ? jennifer : i told you that there 's an antidote , and will is improving every day . jack : but the ant -- there could be a side effect of that . i mean , you can not tell me that will wo n't just drop dead . jennifer : let 's talk to kayla . let 's go to the hospital . she 'll discuss all your options . [ phone beeps ] jack : no , no .

[ whispering ] justin -- justin agreed to represent ben weston . jack : well , you had to know that he was gon na hire a lawyer . eve : i did n't know he was gon na hire the best lawyer in salem . jack : and the most connected . eve : just -- the last thing i need is for him to get ben off . and worse , jack , i mean , what if he finds out that i set him up ? jack : adrienne is team jennifer all the way . how are we supposed to trust him ? eve : okay , look , we have to fill the slot . it 's important that he is the best guy out there , and he 's a good guy . he 's reasonable , and he 's always been an advocate to -- to get justice for paige , so can you just ... will you just trust me on this one ? please ? jack : uh , okay , okay . okay . ah ... congratulations , counselor . job is yours . justin : thanks , jack . but i would rather gargle glass than work for you .

[ foreboding music ] kate : she was definitely hiding something . and victor and i got ta find out what . kirsten : [ sighs ] [ chuckles ] oh , kate , you clueless old hag . you 'll never guess my secret in a million years .

[ ominous music ] oh , man . look , i -- we got ta keep an eye on that one , i 'm telling you . i 'm sorry that i offered justin the job without talking to you first ; it 's just when he said he was gon na represent ben , i just went ape ... like , rargh ! hey . you okay ? what 's going on ? did something happen at the rally ? jack : yes . jennifer showed up . eve : well , of course she did . did she come galloping in on her high horse ? jack : she said they found dr . rolf 's diary . sarah : we got it . we got rolf 's diary ! kayla : where did you get that ? maggie : from xander . sarah : we have to get it to the lab . maggie : yeah , go , go . eve : maggie , um ... the diary -- did xander happen to say where he got it ? wow . that 's , um ... that 's ... that 's exciting news , jack . but , you know , even if he were to give you that serum , you ... we both know it 's not safe after what happened with will . jack : jennifer told me that they came up with an antidote . eve : it could have side effects , too , you know , just like the original serum . jack : yeah . yeah , i know . i just said the same thing . eve : you know , i ... i thought we already talked about that possibility , and you said you were that happy with the life that you were building with me . and then you did n't want your memory back . you have n't changed your mind , have you ? kayla : i 'm sure that jack is perfectly miserable in his new life . jennifer : uh , no , i do n't think so , because i just saw him at his rally , and he is eating it up , kayla . kayla : well , that 's because that 's all that eve is feeding him . it 's not what jack really wants . he just does n't know how much happier he could be . jennifer : kayla , he does n't want to know . kayla : i disagree with you . i -- i think that he is just scared to get anywhere close to true happiness . jennifer : i do n't know what you 're talking about , kayla . kayla : you know , when you grow up like jack did , with no genuine affection , you do n't believe that it exists and then later in life , when love comes your way , you do n't believe it 's real or that you deserve it . he is settling for eve because it 's easier and safer . but believe me , it is not going to last . xander : say it is n't so . maggie : is it ? i mean , is this true ? rex : sarah and i decided that we did n't want to wait any longer . we 're in love . we would 've been married months ago , so why not start our lives together right now ? xander : where do i begin ? maggie : what are you doing here ? kate : i 'm looking for victor . maggie : of course . he 's not home . kate : am i interrupting something ? rex : uh , sarah and i just got married . kate : married , as in -- as in -- rex : as in we said our vows , and now we 're husband and wife . kate : you got married and invited maggie and not me ? maggie : they invited no one . kate : why not ? rex : look , can we -- there 's a whole lot of reasons why that i wo n't get into right now , but just , can you be happy for us , please ? kate : well , of course i am happy for you . i 'm absolutely happy for you . it 's just that , you know , i have to get -- i have to get used to it . and , uh , it 's a little bit hurtful that i was n't invited as mother of the groom . rex : look , we know that you were focused on will , rightfull so . so we did n't want to distract from that . kate : okay , well that 's fine , that really is , as long as i can throw a huge party for you . rex : then you know what ? that sounds great . we 'll do that . kate : oh , my gosh . congratulations . ah , it 's wonderful . rex : thank you , mom . thank you . kate : wonderful , wonderful , wonderful . and i wish you every happiness . rex : appreciate it . kate : as i 'm sure xander does as well . so interesting to see you here . xander : i live here . kate : smack in the middle of everything , right ? [ tense music ] kristen : ugh . ah , this is so much better . [ giggling ] ted 's phone is dead . and he 'd better be too . jennifer : i do n't know , i just really thought i was making progress with jack because , see , i sort of kidnapped him to spark his memory , and i really believed that he was remembering , and i was so happy , and then he went off and married eve . kayla : like i said , i think he 's just putting up walls because he 's scared . i mean , it 's got to be overwhelming , right ? all this love being thrust at him . friends , family , kids , grandkids . jennifer : that 's supposed to be a good thing , right ? kayla : well , of course it is , but maybe he just needs time to , you know , ease back into it . i think you need to be patient . he will come back to you . no doubt about it . you hear me ? jennifer : yes . thank you , kayla . kayla : yeah . jennifer : i hope you 're right . jack : of course i have n't changed my mind . i love being mayor , being married -- to you . our life together . we -- we 're full steam ahead . you and me . i have no reason to look back , ever , ever . eve : sweetheart , i 'm just so sorry i 've been on edge lately . it 's just that i do n't want anything to get in the way of putting ben weston behind bars . jack : you do n't have to explain that to me . i -- i understand how important this is to you . eve : thank you , jack . thank you so much . you know , it just seems like every day , somebody 's telling me that i 'm abusing my power , but i swear to you i 'm not . i 'm just trying to get justice for my little girl . she was everything to me . jack : i know , i know . i know . oh , i know , i know . oh , i know . eve : oh , now i 've got to go put out a fire over at that damn courthouse . jack : okay . eve : see you later . jack : i 'll see you . eve : ugh ! jack : [ laughs ] [ reflective music ] jennifer : honey , if you 'd just give me a chance , i bought this , um ... photo album of our life together and of our family , and if we can just look at it ... just look . no expectations . eric : i 'm sorry . i filled sami in earlier . i just think it 's time for everyone to give up hope that nicole and i have a future together , and sami , she agreed . roman : oh , please . come on . do n't tell me you are taking advice on love from your sister . eric : not exactly . but she could see that i had feelings for sarah . she said i should come clean . roman : and ? eric : and i 've learned that denial and dishonesty makes things worse . so i went over to the hospital , and when i got there , rex announced he and sarah were getting married . and he asked me to do the honors . roman : oh , wow . that had to hurt . eric : yeah , it did , and ... they were just so excited and determined to get married that there was nothing i could say . roman : eric , you are such a good man . putting your brother 's happiness ahead of your own ... and i 'm sure sarah is torn , but i ca n't believe she would have married rex if she did n't love him . eric : that 's what i keep telling myself . xander : why are you treating me like the enemy ? we 're colleagues . kate : can you even spell it ? xander : when you go low , i go high , and in response to your hostility , i 'll be kind . in fact , i already gave sarah a gift . sarah : which i told you i can not accept . xander : oh , no , please keep it . i insist . it 's , um , a wedding gift . for both of you . a piece of jewelry . rex : how the hell is that for the both of us ? xander : you can enjoy looking at your beautiful wife while she wears it .

[ stammers ] but wait a minute . why would xander want that diary in the first place ? jennifer : because he thought it could be valuable to him , but then he had a change of heart when he heard about will . jack : so he gave the diary to will 's doctors ? jennifer : yes , so then they had rolf 's formula , and they made an antidote that saved will 's life , which means they have the original serum , jack . which means you could get your memory back . is n't that incredible ? jack : not interested . no , not interested . eve : i 'm listening . i 'm here on behalf of ben weston . he asked me to represent him . eve : and you agreed ? justin ! why on earth would you help a maniac after what he did to -- to will and sonny ? ! justin : i 'm well aware of what ben weston did , which is why i almost turned down . but i did n't , because of you . eve : me ? ! son of a bitch murdered my daughter and strangled sonny 's husband ! justin : eve , you violated his civil rights . have you ever heard of habeas corpus ? ! eve : that is the da 's issue . justin : well , there is no da ! ted laurent quit , and he has n't been replaced . eve : got an idea . what if you became the new da ? justin : [ laughs ] nicole : knock yourself out , nancy drew . oh , a dress . a pile of ashes . a handshake to cement my divorce with xander . ooh ! if you look hard enough , maybe you 'll find professor plum somewhere around here . kate : oh , so you think this is funny . nicole : no , i think you 're trespassing , and i want you to get the hell out . kate : okay , then why do n't you call the cops and have them drag me out ? but you 're not gon na do that , are you ? because there 's something here that you do n't want me to see , and you know why ? because you are guilty as sin . downtherecare with cottonelle . justin : eve , there 's another thing you need to learn about your new job . the police commissioner does n't appoint the da . the mayor does . eve : i think jack would be on board for it . i do . i think , actually , he would be thrilled to have someone as skilled and experienced at the job as you , and guess what , you know ? you guys are family . jack : yeah , yeah . jack has n't exactly embraced his family . eve : well he cares about you . and he loves jj . actually , i do n't think he really wants the book thrown at his son , to be honest . justin : oh , i see . you want me to come on board to take it easy on jj , but ben weston , not so much . eve : ben was just caught trying to burn two other people alive . you really want to see him get off , justin ? justin : well , that depends on whether he 's guilty or not . eve : eli caught him at the scene of the crime , a can of kerosene at his feet , and a lighter in his hand . justin : eve , i do know what you went through when paige died . and i understand why you think ben weston has n't paid , but -- eve : but what ? ! you think he has ? because he gets to wander the streets of salem with a hot girlfriend in tow , acting all smug and arrogant ? no , justin . having lost my only child to that son of a bitch 's hand , he has n't paid nearly enough . but you can rest assured he will . jennifer : you do n't want your memory back ? jack : i did n't say that . i did n't say that . but this miracle drug has a very serious side effect . will has a brain tumor . what is the point of me getting my memories back if i 'm just gon na die ? jennifer : i told you that there 's an antidote , and will is improving every day . jack : but the ant -- there could be a side effect of that . i mean , you can not tell me that will wo n't just drop dead . jennifer : let 's talk to kayla . let 's go to the hospital . she 'll discuss all your options .

[ scene_break ] nathan : that 's not claudette 's metro court keycard , is it ? maxie : no . nathan : [ sighs ] maxie : [ laughing ] no . my fiancé is a detective , and i would never do something illegal like swipe claudette 's , uh , metro court card . and i would never put you in the awkward position of knowing that , so you better get going to the metro court , so that you 're not late . nathan : yeah , yeah . maxie : okay . um , try the lobster salad . it 's the special , and i hear it 's great . nathan : love you .

[ scene_break ] griffin : i do n't know much about franco except by reputation . valerie : well , i 've done some research . he was sick and smart , and he liked to play games . he once staged a performance - art piece where he staged his own death and framed another man for murder . now , could that really be the result of a tumor , or was it just an excuse ? and now that the tumor 's out , is he still the same sick freak he 's always been ? [ scene_break ] elizabeth : what is wrong with you ? are you trying to scare me ? franco : you and i , right ? you and i made toast together . you and i kissed . elizabeth : we both agreed that was a mistake . franco : okay . i -- i felt close to you . i did . and i thought we were friends , and that meant something to me . elizabeth : yeah , i - i know you do n't have many , but -- franco : because if you and i were friends , that somehow meant to me that i changed . if guy like me could have a friend like you ... that meant i was okay . elizabeth : no . no . you ca n't make me the reason you believe in yourself . franco : elizabeth , you are the reason . when i asked you if you thought i was the hospital killer , you said that you believed in me . elizabeth : i - i - i did . and i still do . i do , but are -- what the hell is going on ? what is your problem ? franco : what is your problem ? why do n't you believe in me anymore ? [ scene_break ] jordan : tj . tj : mom . jordan : look , i know i 'm the last person that you want to see right now , but you 're my son and i love you . i miss you . would you at least let me explain ? tj : i 'd like that . jordan : really ? tj : yeah . i would love for you to explain to me why you never told me shawn was my father . [ scene_break ] molly : so ... what 's the deal with you and aaron ? i mean , now you 're not only dating , but you 're also working together . you sure it 's not too much too soon ? kristina : well , the thing that took you and tj years to do , we did in a matter of weeks . molly : you had sex ? kristina : that 's been known to happen when people are dating . molly : but what about parker ? [ scene_break ] sonny : i got -- i got a feeling that kid is going to make me a lot of money . not that it matters , it 's just , you know , getting involved in this business place gives morgan a job and kristina has a guy who ... what 's going on ? carly : i 'm sorry . i 'm sorry , but nina 's already put out feelers for josslyn 's kidney donor .. in crimson on their website , and -- and i 'm already getting people responding . [ scene_break ] maxie : hello ? okay , claudette . what are you doing in port charles ? oh , wow . this is really cute . [ scene_break ] [ indistinct conversation ] nathan : hey . claudette : hi . look , it 's the county mounty . [ laughs ] remember when i used to call you that ? nathan : i do . claudette : because of my canadian heritage and , well , our ... i 'm sorry . that 's completely inappropriate . i should not be using those pet names , especially ... [ sighs ] ... the way things ended . i 'm sorry . i 'm -- i 'm flustered . nathan : [ chuckles ] that 's , uh , that 's okay . claudette : i was surprised to get your invitation to lunch . i - i 'm not complaining at all . it 's just a big change from you ordering me out of town . nathan : yeah , yeah . [ clears throat ] i , uh , may have overreacted . i 'm sorry about that . i just -- i thought you were setting me up for a fall . claudette : i do n't blame you for being suspicious . i mean , you did me a big favor by marrying me , and then you made a sincere effort to make it work , and i paid you back by being unfaithful . if i was to do it all over , nathan ... i never would have cheated on you . i would have seen our marriage for what it was -- the best thing that ever happened to me . [ scene_break ] griffin : my predecessor , dr. drake , left me his patients ' files . in franco 's case , it appears the tumor was -- it was resting on the frontal lobe . valerie : which means ? griffin : it 's the part of the brain that helps us decide right from wrong . uh , it is possible that franco 's tumor could have caused his behavioral problems . i - i 'd like to ... think people can change , or go from -- from good to bad , or -- or in franco 's case , from bad to good . do n't you believe that , too ? [ scene_break ] elizabeth : what are you talking about ? i do n't have a problem with you . at least i did n't before you trapped me in here . okay , yeah . i was a little upset about the whole jake art - camp thing , but -- franco : elizabeth stop it . hey , cut it out . do n't do that to me , please ? i heard you speaking with epiphany about changing your shifts . i know you do n't want to be here when i 'm here . elizabeth : are you spying on me ? franco : are you avoiding me ? why would you do that ? elizabeth : [ sighs ] franco : what ? you think i would hurt you ? you think i 'm the same guy that i used to be ? elizabeth : no , i do n't think you 're the same guy you used to be . franco : okay , why would you abandon me ? elizabeth : because i do n't trust myself . [ scene_break ] jordan : so , your uncle curtis -- he accused me of lying to you because it was more convenient for me . and maybe he was right . he was , you know ? it was better for me if you did n't know the truth . tj : but our family was based on a lie . jordan : no . baby , please . that does n't mean that the love was n't real , tj . tommy -- he loved you with everything that he had . i could n't take you away from him . i could n't take away the one person that he could love without condition , without compromise . the one person that -- that could love him the same way . tommy was a good man . you know that . and when he found out about shawn and i , our affair ... it literally shattered him . i mean , it ended up killing him . tj : i know . and i did love dad ... with all my heart . and now i can see why you would n't tell him . but , uh ... after he died and when i got older , why did n't you tell me about shawn then ? [ scene_break ] kristina : parker 's married . nothing ever happened between us . molly : but what about your feelings for her ? kristina : what about them ? i 've got a really good thing going with aaron . i mean , it 's fun , it 's easy , and the sex is amazing . i just have to be more careful about talking in my sleep . [ chuckling ] molly : what does that mean ? kristina : [ sighs ] i said parker 's name , and he overheard . molly : did you tell aaron about her ? kristina : i told him everything ... except her gender . molly : well , that 's kind of a big omission . you might want to mention that . kristina : why ? i mean , parker is the only woman that i 've ever been attracted to . maybe it was just a fluke . really , what is there to tell ? [ scene_break ] carly : thank you . sonny : okay , carly , it 's obvious you want to read something to me , so go ahead . carly : well , i just -- i made a special page that people can click a link from the crimson website and send me a message . sonny : but , carly , it 's not like ... what are the chances of somebody that has information on josslyn 's transplant 's gon na be reading a fashion magazine ? carly : okay , i know , but the only thing that ramona or -- or theresa -- whatever her name is -- she already told us that josslyn 's donor kidney was obtained illegally a - and that it came from helena . sonny : we already knew that . carly : i know that , and confirmation is great . a - and i am so happy that you did that for me , and i appreciate you trying . it 's just this time , i kind of want to do things my way . sonny : of course , you do . carly : [ laughs ] sonny : and i - i want it to work out . carly : okay . sonny : you just need to promise me one thing . [ scene_break ] claudette : you know , i never had more fun in my whole life than when you took me around all the famous places in new york . and i ca n't believe you had n't done most of things before . nathan : ah ... when you live there , you kind of take them for granted . and people think you 're a tourist . claudette : you know what i was remembering today ? the time we were on the ellis island ferry . you were telling me why you became a cop ... [ inhales deeply ] ... because of your sister . it meant so much to meet her today . it was so nice to see her awake and healthy . i had no idea she was so tall . [ chuckles ] nathan : yeah , it is , uh , it 's pretty amazing . we used to go visit her , she was always so ... helpless and still . i - i always appreciated you coming with me to see her . claudette : i was happy to . i knew how much she meant to you , and i just wanted to support you . unfortunately , she did n't think too much of me today . well , she did at first , and then as she found out that i was your ex , and she literally almost threw me out of her office . nathan : [ chuckles ] claudette : but maxie was there to smooth things over . nathan : yeah , nina can be a little , uh , impulsive , you know ? like she was in coma for so long , and all that energy was just bottled up . and it just has to come out now . [ sighs ] claudette : nathan ... i 'm so happy for you . [ scene_break ] maxie : curtis , what are you doing here ? ! i 'm going to call security . curtis : oh , right . and , um , what were you going to tell them about why you 're here ? maxie : why , i 'm picking something up and claudette gave me her key . so ... curtis : oh . okay . so i can go to the restaurant right now and tell claudette that i saw you going through her stuff and she 'd be cool with that , right ? maxie : yes . curtis : dope . i 'm - a go holler at her . maxie : no ! obviously , i 'm snooping around her room . why are you here ? curtis : nina hired me to do the same thing . she can not stand cj boland . something about her , uh , being a lying , cheating witch . hurting her baby brother . maxie : right . curtis : yeah . maxie : well , okay . let 's do this . curtis : let 's get it . [ scene_break ] valerie : i guess i do n't have as much faith in people as you do . but , then again , i 'm not a priest . griffin : i 've sent several people to franco for art therapy , and i hear nothing but good things . valerie : i guess even psychos have layers . griffin : valerie ... a person should n't be defined by the worst thing they did in their life . tumor or no tumor , franco has changed . and maybe he found faith or maybe he found love or just his soul . but i think we need to take a look at his actions now . [ footsteps approaching ] officer : spencer , break 's over . there 's a report that franco trapped a nurse in one of the elevators . valerie : what ? griffin : maybe the elevator is just stuck . officer : franco covered the security camera . [ scene_break ] franco : you do n't trust yourself . what do you mean when you say that ? elizabeth : what am i doing ? what am i doing laughing with you , making toast with you ? for years , i considered you a monster -- a horrible , violent , disgusting sadist . franco : okay . all right . elizabeth : how could i let you into jake 's life ? how could i let you into my life ? i have made so many mistakes with men , and i ca n't help but think you 're just one more . and that is why i 'm avoiding you , because my feelings for you are growing . and no , franco , i 'm not afraid of you , but i am afraid of how i feel about you . franco : so you 're not avoiding me ? you 're just avoiding your feelings for me ? elizabeth : yes . franco : [ chuckles ] i am ... i ca n't tell you how happy that makes me . i kind of ca n't stop thinking about you , elizabeth . i ca n't stop thinking about kissing you . i think about you . and when i thought that you were avoiding me when i -- i thought you hated me . and so i kind of -- you know , i ... yeah , i lost it a little bit , as you can ... see . elizabeth : i care about you . probably a little too much . franco : well , probably not a little too much . elizabeth : but i need ... time .

[ scene_break ] maxie : any luck ? curtis : no . it 's password - protected . and i do n't know claudette well enough to make an educated guess . yo , yo , yo . comb through the stuff , okay ? do n't rummage . we got to leave it exactly the way it was . maxie : why does she have this stuff ? who does she think is gon na see it ? curtis : maybe she just likes nice drawers . maxie : and she 's on the pill . oh , wow . with a ... chaser of prophylactics . [ both sigh ] curtis : why do i feel like i 'm forgetting -- i 'm missing something . maxie : with maybe the password to the tablet ? curtis : nina tried to fire claudette ... but you , uh , you fought for her to stay . and now i find you here rummaging through her stuff . maxie : yeah , okay . i 'm going to put everything back . curtis : is this a case of keeping your enemies close ? maxie : something like that . curtis : why ? you and nathan ai n't solid ? you think nathan is going to leave you for claudette .

[ scene_break ] maxie : no , i do not think nathan is gon na leave me for claudette . he loves me . and i love him . claudette being here out of nowhere is just a pothole in the inevitable path to the altar for me and nathan . curtis : then why are you violating this woman 's privacy ? if you 're not worried about losing nathan , then why the b and e ? maxie : because she 's a snake who might as well be wearing a giant , screaming neon sign that says `` agenda . `` curtis : a screaming sign . maxie : you know what i mean . claudette could very easily cause trouble for nathan . [ scene_break ] claudette : there is ... ... a reason why he never reported the shooting , nathan . nathan : look , i just need to know if he 's okay , all right ? that he did n't suffer any long - term injuries from the wound . claudette : i 'm sure he 's fine . look , he 's not going to say anything . why would he after all these years ? nathan : come on . just give me some peace of mind here , okay ? tell me who i shot . tell me his name .

( sighs ) ... i guess i just never want to have to say good- bye to you again . ( door slams ) gus : are you kidding ? who told you ? harley : do you really think that matters ? the point is i had to find out from somebody else that you 're staying on at spaulding ? is that true ? gus : god . harley : because , see , that 's the kind of thing i think you would tell me directly . i think we have that kind of relationship . gus : i am staying on at spaulding . harley : what did you think ? did you think i would n't notice ? ! gus : could you calm down , please ? i was driving on the way ... i was coming over here to ... that 's what i 'm trying to do ! okay , i was even rehearsing how to say it to you outside ! harley : that is so lame . you could have called me from the office . gus : called you ? sorry , i did n't call you , i should have called ... oh , sue me ! what ? ! you never had something that was difficult for you to say to me and you did n't , you held it back for some reason or another ? come on . harley : no , no , no , no , no . do n't do that . no , no , no . let 's focus here on what i had to hear from somebody else , not whether you were planning on telling me or what i might say or anything . what , spaulding enterprises ? what , forever ? do you have any idea what a complete disaster this is ? do you have any idea what is going on ? gus : yes , i know exactly what i 'm doing . harley : no , i do n't think you do . gus : oh , oh , you know so much more than me . you know better for me . harley : you 're damn right i do ! gus : honey , is this one of the same , old , standard , generic spaulding warnings ? because if it is , i got to tell you , it is really getting old , okay ? do you really think you know that much more about these people than i do ? because i do , i know a lot . okay ? harley : what is there why this ? they do n't care . they do n't care . and they 're not going to be impressed , and you 're fooling yourself if you think they will be . gus : honey , this is not the way i thought it was going to play out , okay , but this is the way it 's going . this is the way it is . harley : well , what is that supposed to mean ? you act like you have no choice . gus : i do n't have a choice ! harley : no , you do have a choice ! we all have a choice , sweetie . and i 'm telling you something , if you are choosing alan spaulding and anybody else in that family over anything in our lives , well , i 'm not letting you walk out the door ! marina : okay , good , good , good .

marah : oh , as much as i would love to see you sprint across the room , it 's not going to happen . shayne : come on . hey , tell me what was wrong with luke anyway ? marah : nothing , nothing was wrong with luke . it 's , you know , it 's my problem . i hate blind dates . besides , you do n't need any incentive from me to walk . you 've got marina . shayne : yes , i do . and she 's too good to be true . marina : what 'd i tell you about saying that ? marah : it 's true . he 's right . marina : do n't . i just ... yeah , well , i do n't want him thinking he 's just lucky , you know , or i 'm like some angel or whatever . we 're doing all of this through hard work . marah : yeah , i know , but ... marina : are you okay ?

`` reva : um - hmm . that once you left , you were n't coming back again -- ever . josh : i know , i 'm sorry , i said a lot of things last night . but it 's going to be okay . it 's not something we have to worry about . reva : you made the meeting sound so important and yet you were so vague . josh : i 'm not going anywhere . reva : does that mean you want to move back in ? josh : there 's still a lot of things that i have to work through , some things that i have to tie up . it 's going to take up a lot of my time . it may be disruptive . reva : it 's okay . josh : i 'm not going to be on ... reva : it 's okay . josh : ... a regular schedule , you know . and it may seem , at times , like our life is unpredictable . reva : joshua ... josh : i 'm just saying that once i get through all of this , all of our problems will be in the past . jeffrey : you know , i got a thing about bad news , chris . it 's that i do n't like to hear it . christopher : who does ? jeffrey : is this about reva ? christopher : you 've been counting on me to deliver her , having her work for you without her knowledge . jeffrey : sounds simple enough . christopher : well , it 's not . jeffrey : chris , you 're one of the best profilers we have . christopher : no . this is something different . jeffrey : how ? were you wrong about reva ? christopher : no , reva 's one of the most talented psychics i 've ever come across . jeffrey : well , that 's exactly why we want to use her on this case . christopher : and so do i . look , i signed on for this because i wanted to serve my country , maybe help put some bad guys behind bars . jeffrey : so far , we 're still on the same page . christopher : reva was just a name on a file when i started working with you . but i 've ... i 've become friends with her . she 's been going through a lot with her son shayne 's accident and then the sudden appearance of her other son . i do n't want to do anything that might jeopardize her well - being . jeffrey : i think you underestimate just how strong reva really is . christopher : well , i am not going to push her to the limit to find out . jeffrey : well , then , we do have a problem , doc . it 's you . christopher : maybe i am the problem , but i 'm not going to do anything that might harm reva . jeffrey : yeah , neither would i . okay , she 's one of the few people in this town that i actually like , so you can drop the sanctimony and this hippocratic oath nonsense , okay ? because it 's not flying . christopher : jeffrey ... jeffrey : listen to me , okay . if i have to leverage you , i will ! okay , i will find whatever i have to find and i will do whatever it takes to complete this investigation ! christopher : you are not threatening me . jeffrey : oh , no , i 'm not , i 'm telling you how it is , okay ? i want reva ! and you 're going to deliver her to me . okay , so , and i do n't want any of your personal feelings or any of your intuitions falling into the mix . now , have you approached her ? christopher : i 've broached the topic with her . jeffrey : okay , good . so stick to the plan , feel her out , okay ? if she decides she wants to continue with her séances with you , well , then that 's what you 're going to do , okay ? christopher : and if she says no ? jeffrey : then you will convince her otherwise ! that incident with shayne was a couple of months ago , okay ? the kid has gone through a couple of major operations already . the kid is going to walk again . her long lost son is integrating nicely into the community . and even josh is coming around , okay ? reva 's life is on an upswing . christopher : and if she says no ? jeffrey : well , then , we 'll have to improvise , okay ? i mean , i ... does n't this run in the family , this gift ? christopher : sometimes . jeffrey : well , good , then we 'll check out the sister . find out about cassie winslow . test her out , okay ? maybe she 's got the sight and does n't even know about it . christopher : it 's doubtful . if she had it , it would have manifested by now . jeffrey : well , it 's worth a try . christopher : then we should also test reva 's daughter . jeffrey : marah , yeah . of course . test them both . but reva is a proven entity , so make sure you get an honest read on her before you bail , right ? so , that 's all . marah : what can i say , marina ? i do n't trust carrie . marina : well , i do trust michelle . and she does n't necessarily think that carrie had anything to do with it . marah : michelle was losing oxygen to her brain when she saw carrie standing above her . i do n't know why or how she could even think carrie was trying to help her . marina : well , maybe because it 's true . i mean , what does carrie have to gain by hurting any of us ? without us , her story never gets out . maryanne caruthers ' death does n't mean anything . she needs us to trust her . marah : no , i still think we need to keep carrie on her toes and let her know that we are not her puppets . marina : fine . i 'm going to go check on shayne . marah : i swear i put you away . you 're really getting on my nerves . this time i 'm going to put you in the back of my closet in a box . gus : is that the best you can come up with ? that you 're going to keep me a prisoner in the house ? harley : if that 's what it takes to keep you from spaulding enterprises , yes ! gus : you sound like a nut - job , you know that ? harley : no , you do . gus : you 're crazy . harley : you are ! gus : look at yourself ! what , you make all the rules , now , is that it ? harley : maybe i make the rules because i know that snake pit of a family better than you do ! hey , i 'm not the crazy person here walking around with a misguided , romantic notion : i 'm a spaulding and i 'm going to live happily ever after . gus : oh , listen to you ! now , you 're just being mean - spirited , honey . you 're being mean - spirited ! harley : that would be you . whatever it takes , i do n't care . gus : well , how about this , how about you 're just being an irrational woman ? i 'd like that . harley : i 'm being irrational ? well , next , you 're going to tell me it must be that time of the month . gus : well , i think i 'm going to start keeping track . harley : you are breaking a promise to me . that 's why i am so upset , okay ? that 's what this whole thing is about . you are picking alan and the rest of that family above me , and you 're not even asking me my opinion ! gus : ( mumbling ) oh , my ... harley : huh ? yeah , well , who 's saying what now ? convince me i 'm wrong . go ahead , answer me . say something . and you know why you ca n't say anything ? because you know i 'm right ! gus : hi , zach . zach : mommy , why are you and gus yelling ? harley : hey , buddy . oh , zach , i 'm sorry . did me and gus yelling , did that scare you , hon ? zach : why were you yelling ? harley : well , you know what ? gus : yeah , we were yelling . we were yelling . you know , we did everything , but almost punch each other in the head and then pull each other 's hair . it 's fun , it 's scary , right ? huh ? scary when you hear people who love each other sound that way , like they do n't love each other or something ? but you know what ? that 's what people who are in love do . they get all riled up , you know . and i 'll be thinking one thing , and your mom here , she 'll be thinking another . and then i 'll get loud about my idea , and then your mom gets even louder , and before you know , we 're both so loud nobody can even hear each other ! that 's what happens . zach : no more yelling . gus : got it . no more yelling . harley : no more yelling , we promise . gus : all right . harley : okay ? gus : you 're going upstairs . you want a piggyback ? get on , let 's go . harley : back to bed . gus : that 's it . okay . harley : hold him . gus : i got him . harley : ( laughs ) beth : well , i do n't know about you , but i am definitely starting to feel better . lizzie : yeah , because you 're so simple that they give you chocolate and everything 's peachy again . beth : honey , the sooner you start to enjoy the simpler things in life , the happier you 'll be . you know , i worry about you sometimes , because growing up in the spaulding mansion , i do n't think you understand that . lizzie : look , mom , i know you 're trying to help me and everything . just being here is making me feel even worse . okay , i really , really want to go . beth : oh , well , okay , okay . you go ahead . lizzie : are n't you coming with me ? beth : no , i think i 'm going to stay here . i might even have another chocolate mousse . lizzie : do n't you dare . ( laughter ) lizzie : are you sure it 's okay ? beth : it 's fine , it 's fine . just send the car back for me . i might have a little glass of wine . lizzie : all right . beth : things are going to get better , honey . lizzie : i do n't think either of us believe that . now , you behave yourself , all right ? beth : i am so glad i have you to look out for me . billy : oh , hey , assistant prosecutor right there . josh : yeah , well , you know what ? you looking over at him with a guilty expression on your face is n't going to help the situation . billy : this guy thinks everybody 's guilty . josh : that 's his job , billy . billy : look , what 's he doing here ? josh : i do n't know . a man 's got to eat . what ... i do n't know what he 's doing here . billy : or maybe he 's just checking us out . josh : billy , i do n't appreciate the paranoia , okay ? billy : look , josh , i 've talked to some people in the know , and they said once this guy hit town , he 's got his finger in all the pies . josh : jeffrey is not a threat to marah . why do n't we keep focused on the task at hand , okay ? we have to figure out these plans . billy : all right . beth : mind if i share something with you ? jeffrey : beth . beth : jeffrey . jeffrey : sitting ? beth : why not ? jeffrey : to what do i owe this pleasure ? beth : well , i was hoping that by the end of the conversation , we could kiss and make up . josh : right here , there 's a spur adjacent to the museum . i 'm going to grab a flashlight and i 'm going to start down ... billy : why do n't you grab two flashlights ? josh : no . i 'll do this alone . you need to stick around , keep an eye on the girls . billy : okay , look , josh , just one thing about reva . josh : what ? billy : i just ... i just do n't think you should spend too much time , you know ... josh : you know what ? you do n't have to worry about reva , okay . i 'll handle reva . but do n't worry about me , either . i 'm not going to give into my ... billy : your noble nature . josh : that 's right . i 'll try not to make that mistake again . billy : okay . ( knock at door ) reva : hey . christopher : hi . i 'm sorry to be pressuring you . reva : you 're not . please come in . so , you want to know whether i 'm ready to go back to work . and you need to know this , what , like , right now ? christopher : i got a call from the board that funds my research . they need me to move on if i 'm going to continue my funding , so i needed to confirm with you that you 're still on hiatus . because if you are , i have to find somebody else to work with . reva : you do n't have to , because i am ready to get back to work . christopher : are you sure ? i do n't ... i do n't want to force you into an answer . reva : do you think anybody forces me into anything ? i love the work we did together , and i want it to continue . the sooner the better . so , i 've pretty much turned myself down to low simmer . i have n't really made any great efforts to read anyone , and i have n't had any overwhelming visions . christopher : well , you 've been dealing with a lot of personal problems , so turning yourself off for a while was a good idea . reva : i think so . and having you give me permission made it a whole lot easier for me to take a break . christopher : and how are you feeling now ? reva : more in control . i feel like i can make a psychic sweep of my life now every day and everyone in it . christopher : picking up anything interesting ? reva : just vibes . or lack thereof . christopher : how do you mean ? reva : well , you know , i always pick up something from everyone i encounter , whether they 're related to me or not , but sandy is very odd . i get nothing from him . he 's my son , and i get absolutely nothing . christopher : he 's a pretty guarded young man . reva : i know , but nothing . i do n't know , maybe i just need to pay more attention to sandy . but as far as we 're concerned , i 'm so ready to flex my muscles again . honestly , without your guidance , i 've felt a bit lost . christopher : i do n't want to push . reva : you 're not . i feel like i 'm getting my life back again , and it 's making me greedy for more . christopher : well , i 'll be in touch . reva : good . christopher : oh , before i go , i 'm curious : has cassie ever mentioned having any kind of abilities like yours ? reva : oh , we 've discussed it , but , no , i think she 's too practical . christopher : what about marah ? reva : no , why ? christopher : well , sometimes this trait runs in families . reva : yeah , i mean , cassie and i have joked around about what it would be like if she could read people 's minds , too , but , i do n't know , i can ask her again . christopher : good . would you ? reva : yes . christopher : and talk to marah , too . reva : okay . christopher : i can arrange some tests later in the week just to be sure . reva : well , i 'll find out whether or not they 're interested first . thank you so much for coming by . i feel like you 're giving me a second chance . and i ca n't wait to find out where we 'll take it this time . christopher : me , too . reva : ' night . jeffrey : forgive me if i 'm just a little bit slow on the uptake , but it just sounded like you were ... beth : coming on to you ? jeffrey : yeah . as a matter of fact , it was very close to that . so what 's going on ? beth : just trying out my wings , testing the waters . jeffrey : uh . beth : they 're both fine . simply put , what happened between us , as annoying and painful as it was ... jeffrey : beth , come on , the ground rules were always clear , were they not ? beth : yes , yes , they were . but talking about having an open relationship and actually having an open relationship are two different things . my pride was on the line and my heart . i needed you to need me . jeffrey : well , you know , those feelings are n't .. are n't so bad , you know , to want someone so much , to need to be fulfilled inside . beth : whoa . ( laughs ) are n't i talking to mr. no commitment , mr. everything- does n't - have - to - be - fraught - with - meaning ? jeffrey : yeah , well , i might have been wrong about some of that . beth : i see . well , let 's talk about me first , and then we 'll pry your heart open . jeffrey : well , have n't you heard ? my heart is closed for business , so onto you , okay ? beth : you wanted a casual affair . i was n't ready to throw myself out there like that . i 've spent my life investing in one man , loving one man . jeffrey : well , like i said , that 's not so bad , right ? well , unless it really is that bad . beth : we 're not talking about you , yet . jeffrey : who said anything about me ? beth : i 'm smarter than that , you know it . the short story is that at this point in my life , i should be having something with someone different every month if i feel like it . do you know how many men i 've been tied to ? jeffrey : are you free now ? beth : you were right . giving into the moment , giving into whomever you find happiness with at the moment is very liberating . and for me right now , it would be very healthy . jeffrey : so is this the part where i get to sleep with the new beth ? beth : now how would marah feel about that ? ( laughs ) it 's funny , is n't it ? i 'm finally at a place in my life where i can enjoy the possibility of seeing more than one man , while you -- irony of ironies -- are heavily invested in one woman . do you remember when you told me that romance is about the freedom to love , the freedom to leave ? jeffrey : i still believe that . beth : but it 's getting harder all the time , is n't it ? i 'm going to pry into your heart now . are you ready ? ( laughs ) jeffrey : oh , i ca n't wait . beth : you do n't know how it happened , but something about marah does something to you . maybe it 's not love , i do n't know . but whatever it is , whether it 's her youth , her innocence , her talent , whatever it is , it defies your sense of logic . but yet you ca n't tear yourself away . jeffrey : and you know all this because ? beth : because bill was my marah . he was older than she is , but ... jeffrey : you were older than he was . beth : and it 's uncomfortable . jeffrey : god , you have no idea . ( laughs ) beth : yes , i do . i mean , who else in this town could you talk to about this ? you 'll thank me when you figure out what to do with marah . marah : hey , you guys going out ? shayne : yeah . this girl gave me enough physical therapy to last for weeks . marina : oh , you can handle it . shayne : yeah ? you know what , i should almost make you serve me dinner in bed . marina : you know , they say that bed is only for two things : sleeping and ... ( laughs ) ... not eating . marah : oh , my gosh . marina : did you solve your doll problem ? shayne : doll problem ? marah : uh , yeah , i put it away , out of sight , out of mind . you guys go , have a good time . marina : we 'll leave the diva to her designs . marah : all right . shayne : see you later . marina : bye . marah : ( gasps ) that is not where i put you . harley : did he go down all right ? gus : yeah , it took half a story . look at me . we do n't do that again , okay ? harley : you were amazing with him . you were . i mean , it did n't matter how mad you were , how much you thought you were right , you dropped everything , and you gave him all of your love and attention . gus : it 's my job , right ? harley : you 're not even his father . and i 'm an idiot , because that 's exactly why i fell in love with you in the first place . because that 's who you are . even though i 'm the only one who really gets to see that side of you most of the time . but i mean , that love that you showed him is the same love that you show me , and that you show alan and that you 're showing phillip by being so good to him . gus : well , i do n't know about all that . harley : i 'm sorry . i 'm sorry . you know what i do . i filter all of the spaulding stuff through my own lens . i do . i admit that . but i ... honey , i 'm just so afraid , you know . you 're hitching your wagon at these people . you have no idea , they are in it up to their ... gus : listen , i know . okay ? harley : you do ? gus : yeah . spaulding 's a big company . it 's overwhelming . harley : but you can handle yourself . gus : yes , yes , i can handle myself . harley : then i 'm just going to have to trust you . i mean , because we have to trust each other . gus : ... each other . are we done ? please ? harley : i do n't know . did i say i 'm sorry ? gus : yes , i think you did . harley : because usually when i feel like we 're done , i get this feeling ... gus : yeah , the feeling . harley : mm - hmm . gus : i know the feeling . jeffrey : well , forgive me , but there 's still one obvious question here , beth : why do you care so much about marah and me ? beth : because i know what you 're thinking . i know what i was thinking when i heard about you two . jeffrey : oh , what , that my feelings that i might or might not have border on illegality or perversion ? beth : whoo , hold on . you 're dating a younger woman . that 's hardly new in the history of the world . unorthodox , possibly deadly if her uncle or father find out . but marah is a grown woman . i 'm sure she can take care of herself . marah : ( gasps ) gus : ( sighs ) sorry . all right , let 's see what kind of drug you really are . josh : next on guiding light ... cassie : olivia ... lizzie : do n't ... cassie : ... happens ... lizzie : just do n't say her name in front of me , all right ? she took advantage of my grandfather . she 's ruined the chances of my parents ever getting back together , and she tried putting me away . and now this ? jeffrey : marah , where are you ? what 's going on ? marah : you know what ? never mind . it 's ... it 's no big deal . i just freaked out . it 's my problem . beth : well , what are you waiting for ? go to her . | harley is furious with gus for deciding to stay on at spaulding and for having had to find it out from someone else . gus defends but he 's unable to tell her the real reason he 's staying that he 's undercover for jeffrey . likewise , harley 's unable to tell him the real reason she wants him out of the company : she does n't want him caught up in the dirty business she 's investigating . frustration mixed with anger and hurt makes for a volatile mix and they argue loudly as zach happens onto the scene , upset that they are yelling at each other . harley 's the observer as gus talks to zach about it and she realizes he 's only doing what he feels he must . she apologizes for trying to order him not to stay at the company . they make love but harley 's words have n't been a solace for gus . jeffrey reveals his last undercover operative to his federal cohorts : christopher who is to help shepherd reva and her talents into their investigation . but christopher is clearly reluctant and tells jeffrey he thinks she 's had too unstable a life recently to risk harming her any further . jeffrey encourages christopher to try once more and christopher goes to reva trying to give her every out , but she wants to continue with their work . meanwhile , billy and josh confer over the tunnels they believe are being used by the person pulling the stings with marah , michelle and marina to uncover what happened to maryanne caruthers . beth finds jeffrey and confesses she 's had an epiphany : he was right about her she should have lived more in the moment and taken their affair for what it was an affair . this catches jeffrey off - guard who is in the midst of trying to get marah off his mind . as he wishes what beth is saying to be true , they make love one more time . meanwhile , marah experiences a series of spooky moments when her childhood doll that she keeps trying to put away reappears without any explanation . she puts the doll away in her closet only to find it again in her desk drawer . she reaches for it and pulls back she 's been cut , badly . | <s>[INST] jeffrey : the connection between spaulding pharmaceuticals and illicit drug trafficking has eluded us for many years , gentlemen . but guess what ? that is all going to come to an end . we are currently in the process of pulling a lot of seemingly unrelated areas together . dr. langham here is going to be of critical importance in delivering to us the unique abilities of a certain individual by the name of reva shayne lewis . fbi agent : we 'll have to do our own vetting . jeffrey : yeah , well , that 's done , okay ? anyone got a problem , see me . no one -- i repeat no one -- is to approach her . dr. langham here is her handler . is that clear ? cia agent : we 're in the dark about a lot of this . jeffrey : yeah , well , that 's 'cause you 're not running the show . and that 's just something you 're going to have to get used to , okay ? this is my investigation , and i 'm not going to let go of it . cia agent : you 're using too many civilians . jeffrey : these are people that are well - placed in the community to arouse the least suspicion , and they 're people that i trust . dea agent : the undercovers that you have at spaulding ? jeffrey : gus aitoro and harley cooper . dea agent : yeah . he 's tough , but he 's a loose cannon . she 's brilliant , but she 's a flake . and reva lewis ... jeffrey : yeah , well , yeah . you know , i 've been described as a loose cannon my whole career , jim , and i outrank you . as far as harley cooper 's concerned , she 's about as flaky as a barracuda . and reva lewis , well , she 's not on anyone 's radar , and that 's the way i want to keep it . so , unless there are any other questions , that ... that 'll be all , gentlemen . christopher : promising reva on a silver platter ? i do n't think i like that . jeffrey : something on your mind , doc ? christopher : yeah , and i 'm sure you 're not going to like it . billy : this is the best i 've been able to come up with so far . josh : this tunnel system is unbelievable . look at the patterns here . it criss- crosses the entire town . billy : yeah . i think this guy that 's torturing us really does not want to be found . you could take a long time to figure out your way down there . josh : ( sighs ) i 'll find him . billy : good . hey , you know , i 'm glad to have you back on board . and just ... you 're not going to talk to ... josh : no . billy : okay . josh : no , i 'm not going to talk to frank . do n't worry about it . i 'm not going to squeal , billy . billy : hey , i 'm just glad you came to your senses , that 's all . the girls are in real danger . josh : yeah , and that 's the only reason i am here . and i think the problem is they do n't realize the danger that they 're in . billy : well , now , i think we can make that work for us . reva : have what work ? billy : hey , hello . reva : you guys are working out some big mega - million - dollar mall or something ? billy : shame on you , girl . you know i 'm against urban sprawl . reva : unless you 're being paid to build it . billy : that 's right . ( laughter ) reva : so you 're hiding the blueprints . what do you think , i 'm a spy for the competition ? billy : no , i 'm actually just clearing away here so you can have a little lunch and keep my blueprints clean . i 'll leave these with you and let you guys catch up . josh : okay . billy : all right . josh : do n't even ... do n't even worry about him , okay ? why do n't you have a seat ? reva : oh , um ... josh : just ... just for a minute . reva : okay . josh : see , i was planning to call you about last night . i 'm just sorry . i did n't like the way things ended . i ... ( sighs ) ... i guess i just never want to have to say good- bye to you again . ( door slams ) gus : are you kidding ? who told you ? harley : do you really think that matters ? the point is i had to find out from somebody else that you 're staying on at spaulding ? is that true ? gus : god . harley : because , see , that 's the kind of thing i think you would tell me directly . i think we have that kind of relationship . gus : i am staying on at spaulding . harley : what did you think ? did you think i would n't notice ? ! gus : could you calm down , please ? i was driving on the way ... i was coming over here to ... that 's what i 'm trying to do ! okay , i was even rehearsing how to say it to you outside ! harley : that is so lame . you could have called me from the office . gus : called you ? sorry , i did n't call you , i should have called ... oh , sue me ! what ? ! you never had something that was difficult for you to say to me and you did n't , you held it back for some reason or another ? come on . harley : no , no , no , no , no . do n't do that . no , no , no . let 's focus here on what i had to hear from somebody else , not whether you were planning on telling me or what i might say or anything . what , spaulding enterprises ? what , forever ? do you have any idea what a complete disaster this is ? do you have any idea what is going on ? gus : yes , i know exactly what i 'm doing . harley : no , i do n't think you do . gus : oh , oh , you know so much more than me . you know better for me . harley : you 're damn right i do ! gus : honey , is this one of the same , old , standard , generic spaulding warnings ? because if it is , i got to tell you , it is really getting old , okay ? do you really think you know that much more about these people than i do ? because i do , i know a lot . okay ? harley : what is there why this ? they do n't care . they do n't care . and they 're not going to be impressed , and you 're fooling yourself if you think they will be . gus : honey , this is not the way i thought it was going to play out , okay , but this is the way it 's going . this is the way it is . harley : well , what is that supposed to mean ? you act like you have no choice . gus : i do n't have a choice ! harley : no , you do have a choice ! we all have a choice , sweetie . and i 'm telling you something , if you are choosing alan spaulding and anybody else in that family over anything in our lives , well , i 'm not letting you walk out the door ! marina : okay , good , good , good . ( laughs ) marah : oh , look at you . marina : i know , is n't it amazing ? marah : well , you want to do it again , because i did n't get to see it . shayne : well , i 'll do it again if you promise to let me set you up with another one of my friends . how about that ? marah : oh , as much as i would love to see you sprint across the room , it 's not going to happen . shayne : come on . hey , tell me what was wrong with luke anyway ? marah : nothing , nothing was wrong with luke . it 's , you know , it 's my problem . i hate blind dates . besides , you do n't need any incentive from me to walk . you 've got marina . shayne : yes , i do . and she 's too good to be true . marina : what 'd i tell you about saying that ? marah : it 's true . he 's right . marina : do n't . i just ... yeah , well , i do n't want him thinking he 's just lucky , you know , or i 'm like some angel or whatever . we 're doing all of this through hard work . marah : yeah , i know , but ... marina : are you okay ? marah : i thought i put that away . actually , i 'm positive that i did . marina : i do n't know . you probably just forgot or something , you know . it 's not like you have n't been distracted . marah : yeah , i guess . so have you talked to michelle ? marina : she 's ... she 's okay . marah : nobody 's tried to gas her again ? marina : you still think that thing was n't an accident ? marah : would i trust carrie with my life ? would i trust her to save me if i was about to die ? marina : she might have saved michelle . marah : yeah , so she says . lizzie : this is n't going to help , mom . not at all . beth : honey , your father married olivia . life goes on . let 's not ruin our lives because somebody else made a questionable choice . billy : you listen to your mother , young lady . lizzie : hi , mr. lewis . billy : how you doing ? lizzie : see , my mom thinks that shrimp cocktail and some chocolate mousse is going to make me forget that my dad married the wicked witch of springfield . beth : olivia . billy : whoo , definitely wicked witch of the west . well , we 'll just have to wish your dad luck , huh ? lizzie : see , mom , everybody knows . beth : uh , lizzie , our table is ready , so , it was nice seeing you , billy . billy : nice to see you , too , beth . and even though your dad and i do n't see eye to eye , he 's a pretty smart guy . i think he may just realize what he 's got himself into pretty soon . lizzie : thanks , i hope so . hey , why do n't you join us ? beth : uh , honey , billy does n't want to listen to our problems . billy : actually , i 'm going to go back and join my brother . i 'm just letting him and his wife get a few moments together . y'all enjoy yourself . thank you . beth : take care , billy . lizzie : josh and reva are so romantic . you know , losing each other and then finding each other again . i just wish you and dad could be more like that . reva : you know , i would love to never hear you say good - bye to me again . so , from now on , i want to hear you say `` see you later `` or `` i 'll be back in a minute . `` i 'm just as tired of good - byes as you are . josh : i 'm glad to hear that . reva : you know , i had a feeling about you last night . josh : `` a feeling ? `` reva : um - hmm . that once you left , you were n't coming back again -- ever . josh : i know , i 'm sorry , i said a lot of things last night . but it 's going to be okay . it 's not something we have to worry about . reva : you made the meeting sound so important and yet you were so vague . josh : i 'm not going anywhere . reva : does that mean you want to move back in ? josh : there 's still a lot of things that i have to work through , some things that i have to tie up . it 's going to take up a lot of my time . it may be disruptive . reva : it 's okay . josh : i 'm not going to be on ... reva : it 's okay . josh : ... a regular schedule , you know . and it may seem , at times , like our life is unpredictable . reva : joshua ... josh : i 'm just saying that once i get through all of this , all of our problems will be in the past . jeffrey : you know , i got a thing about bad news , chris . it 's that i do n't like to hear it . christopher : who does ? jeffrey : is this about reva ? christopher : you 've been counting on me to deliver her , having her work for you without her knowledge . jeffrey : sounds simple enough . christopher : well , it 's not . jeffrey : chris , you 're one of the best profilers we have . christopher : no . this is something different . jeffrey : how ? were you wrong about reva ? christopher : no , reva 's one of the most talented psychics i 've ever come across . jeffrey : well , that 's exactly why we want to use her on this case . christopher : and so do i . look , i signed on for this because i wanted to serve my country , maybe help put some bad guys behind bars . jeffrey : so far , we 're still on the same page . christopher : reva was just a name on a file when i started working with you . but i 've ... i 've become friends with her . she 's been going through a lot with her son shayne 's accident and then the sudden appearance of her other son . i do n't want to do anything that might jeopardize her well - being . jeffrey : i think you underestimate just how strong reva really is . christopher : well , i am not going to push her to the limit to find out . jeffrey : well , then , we do have a problem , doc . it 's you . christopher : maybe i am the problem , but i 'm not going to do anything that might harm reva . jeffrey : yeah , neither would i . okay , she 's one of the few people in this town that i actually like , so you can drop the sanctimony and this hippocratic oath nonsense , okay ? because it 's not flying . christopher : jeffrey ... jeffrey : listen to me , okay . if i have to leverage you , i will ! okay , i will find whatever i have to find and i will do whatever it takes to complete this investigation ! christopher : you are not threatening me . jeffrey : oh , no , i 'm not , i 'm telling you how it is , okay ? i want reva ! and you 're going to deliver her to me . okay , so , and i do n't want any of your personal feelings or any of your intuitions falling into the mix . now , have you approached her ? christopher : i 've broached the topic with her . jeffrey : okay , good . so stick to the plan , feel her out , okay ? if she decides she wants to continue with her séances with you , well , then that 's what you 're going to do , okay ? christopher : and if she says no ? jeffrey : then you will convince her otherwise ! that incident with shayne was a couple of months ago , okay ? the kid has gone through a couple of major operations already . the kid is going to walk again . her long lost son is integrating nicely into the community . and even josh is coming around , okay ? reva 's life is on an upswing . christopher : and if she says no ? jeffrey : well , then , we 'll have to improvise , okay ? i mean , i ... does n't this run in the family , this gift ? christopher : sometimes . jeffrey : well , good , then we 'll check out the sister . find out about cassie winslow . test her out , okay ? maybe she 's got the sight and does n't even know about it . christopher : it 's doubtful . if she had it , it would have manifested by now . jeffrey : well , it 's worth a try . christopher : then we should also test reva 's daughter . jeffrey : marah , yeah . of course . test them both . but reva is a proven entity , so make sure you get an honest read on her before you bail , right ? so , that 's all . marah : what can i say , marina ? i do n't trust carrie . marina : well , i do trust michelle . and she does n't necessarily think that carrie had anything to do with it . marah : michelle was losing oxygen to her brain when she saw carrie standing above her . i do n't know why or how she could even think carrie was trying to help her . marina : well , maybe because it 's true . i mean , what does carrie have to gain by hurting any of us ? without us , her story never gets out . maryanne caruthers ' death does n't mean anything . she needs us to trust her . marah : no , i still think we need to keep carrie on her toes and let her know that we are not her puppets . marina : fine . i 'm going to go check on shayne . marah : i swear i put you away . you 're really getting on my nerves . this time i 'm going to put you in the back of my closet in a box . gus : is that the best you can come up with ? that you 're going to keep me a prisoner in the house ? harley : if that 's what it takes to keep you from spaulding enterprises , yes ! gus : you sound like a nut - job , you know that ? harley : no , you do . gus : you 're crazy . harley : you are ! gus : look at yourself ! what , you make all the rules , now , is that it ? harley : maybe i make the rules because i know that snake pit of a family better than you do ! hey , i 'm not the crazy person here walking around with a misguided , romantic notion : i 'm a spaulding and i 'm going to live happily ever after . gus : oh , listen to you ! now , you 're just being mean - spirited , honey . you 're being mean - spirited ! harley : that would be you . whatever it takes , i do n't care . gus : well , how about this , how about you 're just being an irrational woman ? i 'd like that . harley : i 'm being irrational ? well , next , you 're going to tell me it must be that time of the month . gus : well , i think i 'm going to start keeping track . harley : you are breaking a promise to me . that 's why i am so upset , okay ? that 's what this whole thing is about . you are picking alan and the rest of that family above me , and you 're not even asking me my opinion ! gus : ( mumbling ) oh , my ... harley : huh ? yeah , well , who 's saying what now ? convince me i 'm wrong . go ahead , answer me . say something . and you know why you ca n't say anything ? because you know i 'm right ! gus : hi , zach . zach : mommy , why are you and gus yelling ? harley : hey , buddy . oh , zach , i 'm sorry . did me and gus yelling , did that scare you , hon ? zach : why were you yelling ? harley : well , you know what ? gus : yeah , we were yelling . we were yelling . you know , we did everything , but almost punch each other in the head and then pull each other 's hair . it 's fun , it 's scary , right ? huh ? scary when you hear people who love each other sound that way , like they do n't love each other or something ? but you know what ? that 's what people who are in love do . they get all riled up , you know . and i 'll be thinking one thing , and your mom here , she 'll be thinking another . and then i 'll get loud about my idea , and then your mom gets even louder , and before you know , we 're both so loud nobody can even hear each other ! that 's what happens . zach : no more yelling . gus : got it . no more yelling . harley : no more yelling , we promise . gus : all right . harley : okay ? gus : you 're going upstairs . you want a piggyback ? get on , let 's go . harley : back to bed . gus : that 's it . okay . harley : hold him . gus : i got him . harley : ( laughs ) beth : well , i do n't know about you , but i am definitely starting to feel better . lizzie : yeah , because you 're so simple that they give you chocolate and everything 's peachy again . beth : honey , the sooner you start to enjoy the simpler things in life , the happier you 'll be . you know , i worry about you sometimes , because growing up in the spaulding mansion , i do n't think you understand that . lizzie : look , mom , i know you 're trying to help me and everything . just being here is making me feel even worse . okay , i really , really want to go . beth : oh , well , okay , okay . you go ahead . lizzie : are n't you coming with me ? beth : no , i think i 'm going to stay here . i might even have another chocolate mousse . lizzie : do n't you dare . ( laughter ) lizzie : are you sure it 's okay ? beth : it 's fine , it 's fine . just send the car back for me . i might have a little glass of wine . lizzie : all right . beth : things are going to get better , honey . lizzie : i do n't think either of us believe that . now , you behave yourself , all right ? beth : i am so glad i have you to look out for me . billy : oh , hey , assistant prosecutor right there . josh : yeah , well , you know what ? you looking over at him with a guilty expression on your face is n't going to help the situation . billy : this guy thinks everybody 's guilty . josh : that 's his job , billy . billy : look , what 's he doing here ? josh : i do n't know . a man 's got to eat . what ... i do n't know what he 's doing here . billy : or maybe he 's just checking us out . josh : billy , i do n't appreciate the paranoia , okay ? billy : look , josh , i 've talked to some people in the know , and they said once this guy hit town , he 's got his finger in all the pies . josh : jeffrey is not a threat to marah . why do n't we keep focused on the task at hand , okay ? we have to figure out these plans . billy : all right . beth : mind if i share something with you ? jeffrey : beth . beth : jeffrey . jeffrey : sitting ? beth : why not ? jeffrey : to what do i owe this pleasure ? beth : well , i was hoping that by the end of the conversation , we could kiss and make up . josh : right here , there 's a spur adjacent to the museum . i 'm going to grab a flashlight and i 'm going to start down ... billy : why do n't you grab two flashlights ? josh : no . i 'll do this alone . you need to stick around , keep an eye on the girls . billy : okay , look , josh , just one thing about reva . josh : what ? billy : i just ... i just do n't think you should spend too much time , you know ... josh : you know what ? you do n't have to worry about reva , okay . i 'll handle reva . but do n't worry about me , either . i 'm not going to give into my ... billy : your noble nature . josh : that 's right . i 'll try not to make that mistake again . billy : okay . ( knock at door ) reva : hey . christopher : hi . i 'm sorry to be pressuring you . reva : you 're not . please come in . so , you want to know whether i 'm ready to go back to work . and you need to know this , what , like , right now ? christopher : i got a call from the board that funds my research . they need me to move on if i 'm going to continue my funding , so i needed to confirm with you that you 're still on hiatus . because if you are , i have to find somebody else to work with . reva : you do n't have to , because i am ready to get back to work . christopher : are you sure ? i do n't ... i do n't want to force you into an answer . reva : do you think anybody forces me into anything ? i love the work we did together , and i want it to continue . the sooner the better . so , i 've pretty much turned myself down to low simmer . i have n't really made any great efforts to read anyone , and i have n't had any overwhelming visions . christopher : well , you 've been dealing with a lot of personal problems , so turning yourself off for a while was a good idea . reva : i think so . and having you give me permission made it a whole lot easier for me to take a break . christopher : and how are you feeling now ? reva : more in control . i feel like i can make a psychic sweep of my life now every day and everyone in it . christopher : picking up anything interesting ? reva : just vibes . or lack thereof . christopher : how do you mean ? reva : well , you know , i always pick up something from everyone i encounter , whether they 're related to me or not , but sandy is very odd . i get nothing from him . he 's my son , and i get absolutely nothing . christopher : he 's a pretty guarded young man . reva : i know , but nothing . i do n't know , maybe i just need to pay more attention to sandy . but as far as we 're concerned , i 'm so ready to flex my muscles again . honestly , without your guidance , i 've felt a bit lost . christopher : i do n't want to push . reva : you 're not . i feel like i 'm getting my life back again , and it 's making me greedy for more . christopher : well , i 'll be in touch . reva : good . christopher : oh , before i go , i 'm curious : has cassie ever mentioned having any kind of abilities like yours ? reva : oh , we 've discussed it , but , no , i think she 's too practical . christopher : what about marah ? reva : no , why ? christopher : well , sometimes this trait runs in families . reva : yeah , i mean , cassie and i have joked around about what it would be like if she could read people 's minds , too , but , i do n't know , i can ask her again . christopher : good . would you ? reva : yes . christopher : and talk to marah , too . reva : okay . christopher : i can arrange some tests later in the week just to be sure . reva : well , i 'll find out whether or not they 're interested first . thank you so much for coming by . i feel like you 're giving me a second chance . and i ca n't wait to find out where we 'll take it this time . christopher : me , too . reva : ' night . jeffrey : forgive me if i 'm just a little bit slow on the uptake , but it just sounded like you were ... beth : coming on to you ? jeffrey : yeah . as a matter of fact , it was very close to that . so what 's going on ? beth : just trying out my wings , testing the waters . jeffrey : uh . beth : they 're both fine . simply put , what happened between us , as annoying and painful as it was ... jeffrey : beth , come on , the ground rules were always clear , were they not ? beth : yes , yes , they were . but talking about having an open relationship and actually having an open relationship are two different things . my pride was on the line and my heart . i needed you to need me . jeffrey : well , you know , those feelings are n't .. are n't so bad , you know , to want someone so much , to need to be fulfilled inside . beth : whoa . ( laughs ) are n't i talking to mr. no commitment , mr. everything- does n't - have - to - be - fraught - with - meaning ? jeffrey : yeah , well , i might have been wrong about some of that . beth : i see . well , let 's talk about me first , and then we 'll pry your heart open . jeffrey : well , have n't you heard ? my heart is closed for business , so onto you , okay ? beth : you wanted a casual affair . i was n't ready to throw myself out there like that . i 've spent my life investing in one man , loving one man . jeffrey : well , like i said , that 's not so bad , right ? well , unless it really is that bad . beth : we 're not talking about you , yet . jeffrey : who said anything about me ? beth : i 'm smarter than that , you know it . the short story is that at this point in my life , i should be having something with someone different every month if i feel like it . do you know how many men i 've been tied to ? jeffrey : are you free now ? beth : you were right . giving into the moment , giving into whomever you find happiness with at the moment is very liberating . and for me right now , it would be very healthy . jeffrey : so is this the part where i get to sleep with the new beth ? beth : now how would marah feel about that ? ( laughs ) it 's funny , is n't it ? i 'm finally at a place in my life where i can enjoy the possibility of seeing more than one man , while you -- irony of ironies -- are heavily invested in one woman . do you remember when you told me that romance is about the freedom to love , the freedom to leave ? jeffrey : i still believe that . beth : but it 's getting harder all the time , is n't it ? i 'm going to pry into your heart now . are you ready ? ( laughs ) jeffrey : oh , i ca n't wait . beth : you do n't know how it happened , but something about marah does something to you . maybe it 's not love , i do n't know . but whatever it is , whether it 's her youth , her innocence , her talent , whatever it is , it defies your sense of logic . but yet you ca n't tear yourself away . jeffrey : and you know all this because ? beth : because bill was my marah . he was older than she is , but ... jeffrey : you were older than he was . beth : and it 's uncomfortable . jeffrey : god , you have no idea . ( laughs ) beth : yes , i do . i mean , who else in this town could you talk to about this ? you 'll thank me when you figure out what to do with marah . marah : hey , you guys going out ? shayne : yeah . this girl gave me enough physical therapy to last for weeks . marina : oh , you can handle it . shayne : yeah ? you know what , i should almost make you serve me dinner in bed . marina : you know , they say that bed is only for two things : sleeping and ... ( laughs ) ... not eating . marah : oh , my gosh . marina : did you solve your doll problem ? shayne : doll problem ? marah : uh , yeah , i put it away , out of sight , out of mind . you guys go , have a good time . marina : we 'll leave the diva to her designs . marah : all right . shayne : see you later . marina : bye . marah : ( gasps ) that is not where i put you . harley : did he go down all right ? gus : yeah , it took half a story . look at me . we do n't do that again , okay ? harley : you were amazing with him . you were . i mean , it did n't matter how mad you were , how much you thought you were right , you dropped everything , and you gave him all of your love and attention . gus : it 's my job , right ? harley : you 're not even his father . and i 'm an idiot , because that 's exactly why i fell in love with you in the first place . because that 's who you are . even though i 'm the only one who really gets to see that side of you most of the time . but i mean , that love that you showed him is the same love that you show me , and that you show alan and that you 're showing phillip by being so good to him . gus : well , i do n't know about all that . harley : i 'm sorry . i 'm sorry . you know what i do . i filter all of the spaulding stuff through my own lens . i do . i admit that . but i ... honey , i 'm just so afraid , you know . you 're hitching your wagon at these people . you have no idea , they are in it up to their ... gus : listen , i know . okay ? harley : you do ? gus : yeah . spaulding 's a big company . it 's overwhelming . harley : but you can handle yourself . gus : yes , yes , i can handle myself . harley : then i 'm just going to have to trust you . i mean , because we have to trust each other . gus : ... each other . are we done ? please ? harley : i do n't know . did i say i 'm sorry ? gus : yes , i think you did . harley : because usually when i feel like we 're done , i get this feeling ... gus : yeah , the feeling . harley : mm - hmm . gus : i know the feeling . jeffrey : well , forgive me , but there 's still one obvious question here , beth : why do you care so much about marah and me ? beth : because i know what you 're thinking . i know what i was thinking when i heard about you two . jeffrey : oh , what , that my feelings that i might or might not have border on illegality or perversion ? beth : whoo , hold on . you 're dating a younger woman . that 's hardly new in the history of the world . unorthodox , possibly deadly if her uncle or father find out . but marah is a grown woman . i 'm sure she can take care of herself . marah : ( gasps ) gus : ( sighs ) sorry . all right , let 's see what kind of drug you really are . josh : next on guiding light ... cassie : olivia ... lizzie : do n't ... cassie : ... happens ... lizzie : just do n't say her name in front of me , all right ? she took advantage of my grandfather . she 's ruined the chances of my parents ever getting back together , and she tried putting me away . and now this ? jeffrey : marah , where are you ? what 's going on ? marah : you know what ? never mind . it 's ... it 's no big deal . i just freaked out . it 's my problem . beth : well , what are you waiting for ? go to her .Summarize.[/INST]harley is furious with gus for deciding to stay on at spaulding and for having had to find it out from someone else . gus defends but he 's unable to tell her the real reason he 's staying that he 's undercover for jeffrey . likewise , harley 's unable to tell him the real reason she wants him out of the company : she does n't want him caught up in the dirty business she 's investigating . frustration mixed with anger and hurt makes for a volatile mix and they argue loudly as zach happens onto the scene , upset that they are yelling at each other . harley 's the observer as gus talks to zach about it and she realizes he 's only doing what he feels he must . she apologizes for trying to order him not to stay at the company . they make love but harley 's words have n't been a solace for gus . jeffrey reveals his last undercover operative to his federal cohorts : christopher who is to help shepherd reva and her talents into their investigation . but christopher is clearly reluctant and tells jeffrey he thinks she 's had too unstable a life recently to risk harming her any further . jeffrey encourages christopher to try once more and christopher goes to reva trying to give her every out , but she wants to continue with their work . meanwhile , billy and josh confer over the tunnels they believe are being used by the person pulling the stings with marah , michelle and marina to uncover what happened to maryanne caruthers . beth finds jeffrey and confesses she 's had an epiphany : he was right about her she should have lived more in the moment and taken their affair for what it was an affair . this catches jeffrey off - guard who is in the midst of trying to get marah off his mind . as he wishes what beth is saying to be true , they make love one more time . meanwhile , marah experiences a series of spooky moments when her childhood doll that she keeps trying to put away reappears without any explanation . she puts the doll away in her closet only to find it again in her desk drawer . she reaches for it and pulls back she 's been cut , badly .</s> | 12,428 |

[ laughs ] julian : exactly . so do it . seriously , just let go of that resentment , okay ? that lust for revenge . liv , we can finally get together and be a family again . that 's what you want . olivia : you 're forgetting that ... alexis and -- and your whole family loathe and despise you , because you tried to kill alexis . julian : these -- liv , these are all things that you forced me to do -- you . olivia : you deserved it . julian : and does ava deserve to go down for killing morgan ? olivia : why not ? she 's avoided punishment for so many of the crimes she actually did commit . why not let her take the fall for this one of mine ? i have years and years ahead of me and lots and lots of life to make up for . and i will . [ scene_break ] michael : you said there 's a recording of julian talking to his sister . that has to be ava . carly : i agree , but jason said there are so many things that just do n't make sense . michael : like what ? carly : okay , well , we always believed there was a woman in charge . you know , a woman calling the shots . but jason was never able to get any information on her . and when he was finally able to tail julian to a meeting with her , the audio was bad . he got a picture , but they could n't see her face , just hair that was blond . michael : that sounds a lot like ava to me . carly : i know , but supposedly there are other elements . like , there 's some kind of involvement with an asian quarter that does n't connect to ava . and why would they have a secret meeting ? they live together . michael : probably to give them both deniability . carly : maybe . i do n't know . i do n't know . i just know that ava is in police custody and that police are investigating . michael : she 's been in custody before . i know . i want to believe in the system , i do , but if she finds another technicality , another way to get away with it , like her brother did when -- when he killed duke . carly : hey , she wo n't . michael : how -- how can you be so sure ? because your father promised me that if ava is responsible for the bomb that killed morgan , she will pay . [ scene_break ] nelle : is that mine ? i - i had no idea . where did you find it ? sonny : in my bed , where you left it . nelle : did carly see it ? sonny : no . nelle : oh , thank god . again , i am so sorry . i - i - i had no idea that i forgot it . sonny : you did n't forget it . you planted it when you went to get the tax documents for morgan 's foundation . so , basically , you used morgan 's death as an excuse to go into the room , plant this , so carly would see it . you were setting me up . that 's a problem for me . and you know how i solve problems ? [ scene_break ] ava : i never signed any lease . what is this ? i 've never even been to an herb shop in the asian quarter . jordan , i 'm telling you -- somebody is setting me up . jordan : who ? ava : i do n't know . but julian , he 's made vague references to somebody else being in charge . he 's been worried about the safety of his family . jordan : is that so ? he never mentioned that when he was here . ava : then bring him back ! jordan : we 're gon na talk to julian again . do n't you worry . ava : [ clears throat ] you know , maybe it 's the pcpd that 's setting me up . maybe you 're behind that fake lease . after all , your brother - in - law , curtis , he showed up at my gallery today , pretending to be interested in buying a piece of art . jordan : he did ? ava : uh - huh . or maybe he was there to plant evidence so you could haul me in for a crime i did n't commit . [ door opens ] dante : the team lifted dna from a martini glass found at the herb shop . it 's ava 's .

[ scene_break ] hayden : you 're offering to help ? in what way ? you 're no longer on staff here . amy : oh , i 'm all too aware . but as soon as i heard that the other nurses were out sick , i knew that the patients would still need care . hayden : and you thought of a way to get your job back . amy : from what i can see , you need all the help you can get . hayden : true . i think we can work something out since we 're so shorthanded . amy : great . hayden : but when the other nurses find out , you 're gon na be more disliked than me around here .

[ scene_break ] nelle : why are you attacking me ? i hate that we slept together , but really i -- i did n't do anything all that wrong . you know , you 're the -- you 're the one that cheated on your wife . sonny : i made a drunken mistake . you planted this bra in my bed . you are not the innocent , little , sweet thing you pretend to be . nelle : what are you gon na do to me ?

[ scene_break ] ava : this is absurd . dante : then prove it . repeat the line . come on , ava . let 's do this . ava : kill the homeless loser who planted the bomb . jordan : well ? did you recognize the voice ? is this the voice of the woman who used you to kill morgan corinthos ?

[ scene_break ] olivia jerome : call me when it 's done . julian : so , tell me , what 's this buzz character 's plan in your game ? olivia : he was paid to plant a gps device under your car . julian : hmm . and instead he planted a bomb ? olivia : yes , and he started causing trouble when he realized what he 'd done , whining about having blood on his hands . julian : so , jason tracked him down and buzz talked . olivia : briefly . but then it got complicated when buzz left the state . but now he 's back . he has straightened out his priorities , and he 's helping the police -- or us , depending on how you look at it . suffice it to say , he 's not helping ava . julian : he 's with the police right now , sinking ava ? olivia : as we speak . julian : [ sighs ] liv . hey , you ca n't do this . olivia : i had to do this . i gave you a job to do -- to stop jason morgan 's investigation -- and you failed . i had no choice but to do damage control . julian : so , now you 're gon na frame ava -- our sister -- to take the fall for you ? olivia : maybe now you know how serious i am about taking care of myself and getting my hands on general hospital . [ scene_break ] hayden : no , i did n't fire the entire nursing staff . apparently , the nurses got wind of the layoffs and called a sick - out . it 's not an official strike -- no picket lines or union reps -- but , basically , the hospital 's paralyzed . finn : yes . how do we care for our patients without nursing care ? without their support , who 's gon na change the ivs or update these charts ? hayden : well , i guess you 'll just have to do it yourself . finn : thank you . that 's very helpful . hayden : [ sighs ] this day just gets better and better . finn : [ drops chart and checks his medicine bottle ] [ sniffles ] ugh . damn it . where did it go ? where 'd that go ?

[ scene_break ] michael : i agreed to lay off good people who are doing good work . and i tell myself , without the layoffs , the whole hospital will close and everyone will be out of a job . then i wonder if the -- the end justifies he means , you know ? i - i 'm sure you 've never had to ask yourself that question . nelle : i think you 're overestimating me . i 've made some ... questionable choices , and i 've had to rationalize them . michael : well , do you make excuses for yourself ? nelle : i mean , that 's human nature , you know ? we always have to convince ourselves that we 're doing the right thing , even if we know ... it 's gon na hurt a lot of people . michael : yeah , but deep down , you know what you 're doing is n't right .

[ lid closes ] [ scene_break ] michael : ava killed morgan ? it 's not enough that -- that she completely destroyed his life ? she killed my little brother ? carly : i know . michael : does -- does dad know ? what did he do ? carly : he broke house -- he broke house arrest and he went to ava 's gallery to kill her . jason found him and was able to talk him down . michael : [ sighs ] okay , that 's -- that 's -- that 's good . the last thing dad needs is getting himself implicated in ava 's murder . carly : i know . michael : do the police know about this recording ? yeah , i called jason on the way over here . he gave the recording to dante and dante took ava into custody . michael : okay , now , is this recording enough to charge ava with -- with morgan 's murder ? carly : i 'm not sure . but the crazy thing is , jason 's not convinced that the sister in the recording is ava . [ scene_break ] dante : the search team we sent to ava 's gallery , penthouse , and the herb shop are back . ava : and they found nothing , so i can go . dante : what they found is in the lab getting processed . should have answers back any minute . there is one thing they found that does n't need to go to the lab . ava : what ? what is this ? dante : it 's a lease agreement from the herb shop in the asian quarter where the recording of you and julian was made . that 's your signature . [ scene_break ] olivia jerome : i would have loved to have been part of your family ... to get to know my sister . i could 've been that eccentric aunt that comes to the door with armloads of toys and a song on her lips .

[ scene_break ] michael : you said there 's a recording of julian talking to his sister . that has to be ava . carly : i agree , but jason said there are so many things that just do n't make sense . michael : like what ? carly : okay , well , we always believed there was a woman in charge . you know , a woman calling the shots . but jason was never able to get any information on her . and when he was finally able to tail julian to a meeting with her , the audio was bad . he got a picture , but they could n't see her face , just hair that was blond . michael : that sounds a lot like ava to me . carly : i know , but supposedly there are other elements . like , there 's some kind of involvement with an asian quarter that does n't connect to ava . and why would they have a secret meeting ? they live together . michael : probably to give them both deniability . carly : maybe . i do n't know . i do n't know . i just know that ava is in police custody and that police are investigating . michael : she 's been in custody before . i know . i want to believe in the system , i do , but if she finds another technicality , another way to get away with it , like her brother did when -- when he killed duke . carly : hey , she wo n't . michael : how -- how can you be so sure ? because your father promised me that if ava is responsible for the bomb that killed morgan , she will pay .

[ scene_break ] ava : i never signed any lease . what is this ? i 've never even been to an herb shop in the asian quarter . jordan , i 'm telling you -- somebody is setting me up . jordan : who ? ava : i do n't know . but julian , he 's made vague references to somebody else being in charge . he 's been worried about the safety of his family . jordan : is that so ? he never mentioned that when he was here . ava : then bring him back ! jordan : we 're gon na talk to julian again . do n't you worry . ava : [ clears throat ] you know , maybe it 's the pcpd that 's setting me up . maybe you 're behind that fake lease . after all , your brother - in - law , curtis , he showed up at my gallery today , pretending to be interested in buying a piece of art . jordan : he did ? ava : uh - huh . or maybe he was there to plant evidence so you could haul me in for a crime i did n't commit .

[ scene_break ] pam : how dare you disrespect my sister like this ! rick : that 's not what i 'm doing . this is about me -- it 's about me running the company and running the family . pam : oh , and did eric sign off on you sleeping in his bed with your mistress ? or replacing my sister 's portrait with maya ? ! rick : i 'm not my father . i do n't do things his way . and while i 'm here , i 'm the man of the house , and i would like it to reflect me . so with that said , i do n't need your permission or anybody else 's permission to move in or do whatever i want . because this is my family home . pam : whoa . [ scoffs ] okay , fine , rick . sleep in that bedroom with maya . sleep in all the bedrooms . it does n't matter . because this little fling that you 're having is never gon na last anyway , which is what makes that all the more upsetting -- that you replaced my sister 's portrait with a home wrecker ? ! rick : stephanie chose favorites . that was ridge , the same man who destroyed my marriage that i was supposed to value so much . i do n't want to come downstairs every morning to be reminded of that ! so i hung a beautiful picture of maya . when dad comes home , i 'll put stephanie back on the wall , but until then , maya stays ! end of discussion !

[ cell phone chimes ] natalie : this is fun and all , playing cops and kidnappers with you , but there 's really nothing else i can tell you . dylan : uh , this other investor , the one who grabbed adam , what do you know about her ? natalie : how do you know it 's a woman ? what ? 50 % chance ? 52.3 % if you want to be -- dylan : well , the kidnapper told us himself . and he turned over a burner phone that she contacted him on , and he said it was definitely a woman who contracted him to do the job . natalie : my contact was web - based . no voice . dylan : well , maybe you can recall something from , uh , some of your exchanges . natalie : like if i could tell whether they were wearing fingernail polish by the way they input text ? dylan : all right . i get it . you 're scared to talk . natalie : what ? no , i just -- dylan : look , you 're in genoa city . people get into your business a lot here . but they also look out for you . so , if you 're afraid that this woman might come after you again , do n't be . we 're gon na protect you , because i promise you we 're gon na put the pieces together . and you know better than anyone there 's no way to erase something that 's in cyberspace . so , if you know anything about the plan , now would be a good time to say something , because i guarantee we 're gon na figure it out . and if it turns out you knew something , i would just hate to see you go down with the rest of them . luca : our plan ? well , it 's a business acquisition . you know , small outlay , very little risk . chelsea : really ? in what division ? adam : yeah , buddy , you know what ? just the timing is not good . chelsea : is that the problem here ? the timing ? or is the problem that i 'm in the room so you 're gon na have to come up with a cover story , and then i 'm gon na have to call you out on it in front of luca , and things are just gon na get weird ? adam : okay , honey ... chelsea : so i 'll tell you what . i 'm gon na make things easy on all of us and , uh , i 'll just leave . adam : okay , slow down . just , you know -- chelsea : no , no , i am not gon na slow down , because this is n't about newman business . you are keeping something from victor . why is that , adam ? may i remind you you were just kidnapped , and now you want to enter a secret alliance with a very dangerous family ? ! adam : i 'm not in danger , okay ? keep your voice down , please . i was never in danger . chelsea : you promised me you would n't do anything to risk being taken from me again . you think getting involved with the santoris is really the safest path , do you ? adam : i 'm not putting anyone 's life at risk , okay ? i 'm not putting my life at risk , your life at risk . i would never do that . you know that . chelsea : i used to know that . i do n't know . maybe the fear wore off and now you 're just back to being you . this is so like you , adam . and i hate it . adam : thank you very much for that . what the hell 's the matter with you ? you just show up unannounced , uninvited , just start talking ? luca : soon secrecy will be a moot point . you 'll be running newman , and i 'll be running all santori endeavors . adam : yeah , well , you know what ? we 're not there yet . luca : yeah , but we 're close . adam : what the hell 's this ? luca : records , contracts , communications . proof of illegal business practices by my father . adam : where 'd you get all this ? luca : marisa . she 's beautiful and resourceful . she and i want the same things in life , and that starts with these . adam : this is good . this is ... this is beyond good . luca : i held up my end of the deal . what about you ? dylan : i think maybe you do know something about this woman . natalie : how ? i did n't even know it was a her . maybe she did n't know i was a her , either . dylan : except she asked for `` the girl `` in the trade . natalie : okay , good point . but i still do n't know anything about her . dylan : so you were gon na hand a random person a revolutionary idea ? natalie : none of it was random . there was a lot of vetting on both sides to prove that i had a legit idea and she had serious money . dylan : without ever meeting in person ? natalie : it was all online accounts , routing numbers , wire transfer instructions . but then the deal tanked and i went to work for victor . i guess `` her `` does n't take rejection well . [ door opens ] victoria : what are you doing in here ? dylan : uh , victor offered his office so natalie and i could talk . victoria : well , i hope she was helpful . dylan : i 'll let you know if i have any more questions . natalie : super . ca n't wait . dylan : [ sighs ] victoria : please tell me that you 're building a case to throw her in jail . dylan : for what ? she did n't kidnap adam . victoria : but she 's the reason someone did . she 's shady and she 's careless and she pissed off the wrong investor . dylan : yeah , shady is one thing . illegal activity is another . victoria : whatever she 's telling you , i 'm sure she 's working another angle . dylan : well , i do n't doubt that . victoria : you do n't ? dylan : no . i 'm gon na do my job , and i 'm gon na find out what that angle is . victoria : good . billy : hey . what 's going on with you two ? jack : well , someone ruined my appetite , and my wife suggested we check on you instead . billy : fantastic timing . i just finished counting the ceiling tiles , and it was amazing . jack : nice to know you still have priorities . so , listen , i want to talk to you about what you 're gon na do once you get out of here . billy : i already have plans . victoria 's forcing me to sit on the couch and let the kids crawl all over me . jack : well , that 'll do for a while . but then i want you to come back and work at jabot . billy : jack . do n't start getting crazy on me , okay ? i did n't walk into the light . jack : no , this is n't crazy . this is sanity . it may be too little too late , but it 's all i have . billy , i should have backed your investment when you asked . billy : why would you do that ? i only came to you because my horse did n't come in , literally . and that was after i ended up costing you and jabot millions of dollars going after victor with this new and improved paragon . none of that changes because i 'm here , because i was somebody 's speed bump . phyllis : okay , take it easy there . jack : intentions matter . you did the wrong thing with paragon for a hell of a good reason -- to wipe that smug look off of victor 's face and to hand him a loss . billy : and look where it got us , jack . i ended up handing him a bigger and better win . phyllis : we both did . jack : so we rebuild . together . we rebuild the business our father started , remembering what makes our family strong . what do you say ? billy : the fact that you 're asking me this right now means the world to me . and if i get weepy , i will blame the meds . phyllis : you 're not on any pain meds . billy : you 're not helping . jack : i 'm not telling you to put your pants on and get to work . i 'm just saying ... billy : let me think about it . jack : okay . but whenever you 're ready , so is your office . adam : do n't worry . i 'll have enough proof of malfeasance to bury victor . no problem . luca : by when ? the clock is ticking , my friend . adam : yeah . yeah , i know , but , you know , unlike you , i do n't have marisa gathering my information . i got to do that on my own , right ? and i do n't know , maybe you 've heard something about this , but i had myself taped to a chair in some damn motel room all week , so it 's hard to , you know , do stuff . luca : yeah . granted . but now it 's time to hold up your end . adam : yeah , i know . it 's tricky . you know , we got to be methodical , complete about this . i got one shot to nail victor , all right ? if i tip my hand , if i hit anything less than a home run , i 'm roadkill . luca : yeah , we both would be . my father would use every resource he has to hunt me down . i 'd never see the light of day again . but what about this latest move with your father ? yeah , just add that to the list of victor 's crimes . he -- he kidnapped my wife . he blamed my family for your kidnapping . adam : here 's the thing , though . do n't make it personal , okay ? just keep it strictly business . you bring emotion into this whole thing , you lose control of the situation . how 'd they nail al capone ? was it body count ? no . it was tax evasion . so that 's what we need . we need proof of any kind of illegal activity via mail , e - mail , phone records . we 'll have federal fraud charges . that 's how we get him , okay ? we open up this whole `` he said , she said `` kidnapping thing , that 's a -- that 's a hole , we start digging , we do n't want to crawl down into , okay ? luca : yeah , and i wo n't have marisa be a target , not for the police and not for victor . adam : exactly . we 're on the same page . i just need a little more time here , okay ? luca : keep that . make the case indisputable . adam : exactly . that 's when we move in for the kill , right ? our lives will be forever changed . [ cell phone rings ] abby : oh . look , it 's the senior vp of marketing reporting to me . yeah , i better take this . marisa : the way you talk now , always so angry -- you do n't think people are gon na notice and wonder what 's happened to you ? noah : what did i say ? abby is a lapdog . come on , you heard what she said . she does n't give a damn about what happened to you . i do . you know , after i realized that my grandfather just stashed you away somewhere , i was willing to do anything to get you back . that includes going to the police . marisa : to report your own grandfather ? noah : yeah . yeah . you know , marisa , you can be married to luca , but that does n't change how i feel about you . and the idea of victor just getting away with this -- marisa : he wo n't . he 'll pay for everything . noah : what does that mean ? what do you know ? marisa : uh , i mean , karma . no one can run forever . noah : [ scoffs ] marisa , is -- is luca and his family planning a move against newman enterprises ? marisa ? marisa : [ sighs ] it 's not the santoris , okay ? the threat is from the inside . noah : the inside ? really ? who 's that ? how do you know that ? chelsea : hey , guys . uh , excuse me . marisa , i need to talk to you . marisa : uh , about the fashion line ? of course . yeah . uh , i have to do this . chelsea : after you . marisa : what is it ? chelsea : i need to know what 's going on between luca and adam . and do n't you dare waste my time saying nothing , because luca is in my home right now with my husband . marisa : chelsea , whatever you 're suspecting -- chelsea : no . do not do this to me . marisa : i 'm sorry . i do n't -- i do n't know . chelsea : fine . fine . i 'll find out some other way . but if i expose both of our husbands in doing so , then oh , well . marisa : okay , okay . all right . stop . i will tell you myself . abby : yes , yes , i am just getting off my call with the senior v.p . who called me because she trusts my judgment and knows that i 'm good at my job because everybody knows that i 'm good at my job , including victor newman . you know , he would n't just hand me a job that i was n't capable of doing . i - i have had some huge successes , and i am having to deal with max and stitch and ... [ cell phone chimes ] abby : yeah , yeah , see ? more work texts are coming in because people need me . well , this is -- this is , um , actually uncle jack , but normally it 's business texts . chelsea : adam is still ... still going after victor ? with luca ? they 're both trying to go after their father 's companies ? marisa : i am only telling you this so you do n't run around saying things or asking questions . if luca or your husband feels cornered , somebody could get hurt . chelsea : oh , let me promise you , if they go after these men , somebody will most definitely get hurt . this is dangerous and -- and stupid . and infuriating . adam looked me in the dead in the eyes and promised me he was done going after victor . well , little does he know he will be done . marisa : i understand how you feel , but it may already be too late to stop them . victoria : just to be clear , i do n't like doing business with people like you . natalie : people smarter than you ? victoria : conniving , backstabbing , completely lacking in ethics . natalie : yeah . i 'm the worst . i 'm a monster . but your father owns me , so i need to do my job . victoria : gosh , you know , this whole nerd act is such a joke . natalie : uh , i write code . my social life is hacker message boards . you know , i hate face to face conversation , especially this one . what part of that is an act to you ? victoria : i can see right through you . this poor , victimized genius act is not working on me . you 're a con artist who has done nothing but cause trouble since you came to town . natalie : [ scoffs ] victor : what 's going on here ? natalie : we 're bonding . victoria : dad , since we own her idea and the work she 's done so far , why do n't we just find someone to finish what she started ? dylan : so , the kidnapper , the guy who physically detained adam , admits that he was taking orders from a woman , and she specifically told him not to hurt adam . kevin : bossy yet protective . sounds kind of hot . dylan : kevin . kevin : sorry . dylan : okay , so we 've been working off the assumption that the , uh , person who had adam grabbed was natalie 's other investor , but , you know , that 's not necessarily true because there 's a lot of people who want to stick it to victor . kevin : right . billy was in the hospital being , well , almost dead . dylan : plus we know that it was a woman . kevin : who knew that victor would cave if adam was in danger . and you think it was someone close to home . dylan : i do n't know , man . i do n't know . this is gon na be a long process , but we got to narrow it down . phyllis : well , natalie is playing it absolutely perfect . i just ran into her at the top of the tower with victor , and she is not playing the good , little soldier , which would tip off victor . she 's smart , she 's prickly , she 's awkward in a way , and he is eating it up . when he realizes that he has been screwed and he knows by whom , i tell you , it is gon na be spectacular . we have earned this . we deserve this . billy : phyllis . phyllis : [ sighs ] you have second thoughts , do n't you ? victor : once natalie has worked the bug out of her program , the , uh , return of investment will be substantial . but she is the one who should see it through to the end , all right , baby ? natalie : [ sighs ] and i ca n't really do that just standing here . victor : there 's an office ready for you . natalie : [ scoffs ] like the last one ? where the door locked on the outside ? thanks , but i think i 'll work better in my hotel room with my mini bar . victoria : newman employees work in newman tower . victor : wherever natalie feels comfortable doing her job , that 's where her office will be . i 'll have my driver take you . natalie : i like the cold . i 'll walk . victor : you do as you wish . victoria : it 's not worth it , dad . this deal has already gotten billy in the hospital and adam kidnapped . victor : you know what got billy in the hospital ? he 's dealing with bookies . they beat the crap out of him . that 's what happened . i 've not forgotten that . maybe you have . victoria : how much longer is this gon na take with natalie ? and how much more chaos is she gon na cause ? [ cell phone rings ] victoria : [ sighs ] it 's memorial . hello ? this is she . okay , great . i 'll be right there . one step closer to billy 's release . they want to brief me on his aftercare , so i have to get going . victor : you convey one message to billy boy . he 's not part of this deal . dylan : we definitely have our locals that could have arranged adam 's kidnapping , so we got to consider motives and opportunity . we sure about all these men 's names ? kevin : well , the woman could have been a go - between and not the puppet master . we need to take that into consideration . dylan : well , i questioned the kidnapper , and , you know , i got the vibe that it was the woman calling the shots . ashley abbott . i mean , she knows the dynamic between victor and adam . kevin : here 's the thing . i do n't see ashley saying not to hurt him , though . she has reason to see him hurt , just like the rest of us . why not take a couple of shots at him while he 's in captivity ? and the abbotts were at the hospital worried about billy . dylan : which is the perfect cover . jack and phyllis . also at the hospital . and jack would never put adam in danger . kevin : yes , but per the instructions , adam never was in danger . dylan : nikki newman ? kevin : uh - huh . dylan : are you -- are you being serious ? that 's ridiculous . kevin : what ? she owes victor payback after all these years . dylan : that 's my mom ! kevin : i know ! would n't it be great to see her pull one over on him ? dylan : you 're really gon na do with this ? oh , okay . well , uh , nikki was very upset that she was left in the dark about adam 's kidnapping and exchange . there . kevin : i need the hope of this possibility in my life . dylan : [ sighs ] kevin : and we still have a bunch of question marks . well , that 's been helpful . dylan : well , the one person who would have wanted to stick it to victor and adam both is the only person who could n't have done it . billy : i 'm the reason why jabot 's in the toilet . i also wanted to be the reason why we sent him to the stratosphere so high that victor could never screw us again . phyllis : you have already won , billy . you have everything you could ever need . billy : need ? yeah . want ? it 's a little trickier , is n't it ? what about you ? you have a lot to risk here . phyllis : if i do n't do it , i risk more . i lose my dignity , i lose my self- respect . i owe this to victor . i am not going to back away now . i am going to take him down on my own . i will , and you 're gon na watch and cheer , and it 'll still be fantastic . billy : watch and cheer . from the stands . phyllis : the timing is n't right . okay , i get it . billy : timing ? yeah . so what do i do ? wait for a better chance to stick it to victor ? no . i 'm gon na do this with you . let 's take him down . victor : this is impressive . adam : it 's fantastic is what it is , right ? luca was able to assemble enough information . we 're gon na be able to burn the santori business to the ground . victor : you did all this while being kidnapped ? adam : yeah . why not ? i 'm a multi - tasker . you know that . besides , as far as kidnappings go , this one was -- was almost pleasant , actually . victor : but you know i was worried about you . that 's why i allowed the cops to become involved . dylan convinced me it would be more effective that way . adam : and you listened to him ? imagine that . victor : will miracles never cease ? i actually listened to him . adam : i 'd still like to know who snagged me , though , you know , and why . victor : it 's not gon na happen again . whoever was involved in that and the santoris will soon learn the same lesson . and then you and i will devote ourselves to this internet security project . adam : which i was already a part of . i just did n't realize it when i was strapped to that chair , right ? victor : you know it 's gon na revolutionize the internet world . you know that , do n't you ? and you 'll be right by my side when it happens . [ door slams ] chelsea : that sounds amazing . victor : hello , chelsea . chelsea : working side by side with victor . what do you say , adam ? chelsea : this is what you 've been waiting for . it 's the reason we 're not in paris or anywhere else -- so you can work with victor . it 's great . victor : this is an exciting , new venture , okay ? i 'll give you a status report soon . meanwhile , you spend some time with your family , all right ? adam : sure . victor : okay . chelsea : family . that means a lot to you both . family . it 's really something you have in common , is n't it ? victor : that 's very true . speak with you soon , all right ? adam : very good . victor : okay . bye , chelsea . chelsea : bye . victor : nice to see you . chelsea : you , too .

[ door closes ] adam : you know my father and i are n't the `` hug it out and shed a tear `` kind of type . chelsea : no . you 're more the chronic liar type . adam : what -- what the hell are you talking about now ? chelsea : i know , adam . about your plan with luca santori to take down both of your fathers . and yet again you lied to my face ! adam : no , i did n't . chelsea : you always do . adam : babe , hold on ! slow down , okay ? you got it all wrong . i 'm actually working with victor against the santoris . we 're working together to try to get them out of newman . chelsea : you actually expect me to believe that ? adam : it 's the truth . noah : so , what was that with chelsea ? was it adam ? marisa : we were just talking about work . noah : okay . is adam the inside threat to newman ? marisa : noah , please . noah : he is , right ? marisa : no more . noah : [ chuckles ] yeah . wow . adam is smart . he 's played the loyal son to perfection . and after all this time , my grandfather lets his guard down , as much as he can let his guard down , and now adam is just going straight for the jugular . and luca is working with him . that 's what 's happening , right ? luca : there you are . i dropped off that work file . we can go now . noah : no , no , no . you 're not going anywhere , unless you want me to make one phone call and blow your little plan sky high . jack : hey . hope i did n't take you away from anything . abby : uh , no . i was just handling an issue , and it was handled . jack : well , uncle billy sends his love . abby : you were at the hospital ? jack : yeah . i asked billy to come back to jabot . abby : as a valid , contributing member of the family , i hope . i mean , i hope you did n't just throw him a job as a consolation prize . like , `` here 's a title with no respect , `` because that -- that 's not a job offer . that 's an insult . jack : i am well aware of billy 's value to the company . i should never have cut him loose . he 's an abbott . like all abbotts , he has jabot in his blood . every abbott has something to contribute . that 's why i want you to come back to jabot . look , the compensation package will not be as good as it is at newman , but you 'll have a chance to help rebuild a family company . i know newman has the capital , but it 's not safe to work there right now between the kidnapping and the santori family . abby : so you want to protect me . like a pet . jack : no , abby . i want you to bust your butt for jabot because we need you . abby : i have a job . jack : i 'm offering you more than a job . i 'm offering you a future with meaning and purpose , working with family , with billy , with me , all of us . what do you say ? billy : i 'm in . you 're not scooping victor without me . phyllis : you do n't have to do this . you do n't have to do this . the result will be the same with or without you . i will beat victor at his own game , okay ? billy : as i sit on the sidelines and watch ? no , that 's not gon na happen . phyllis : i am feeling like a really bad influence right now . billy : you ? you revel in it . phyllis : a little . billy : come a long way , have n't we ? since almost killing each other at restless style . phyllis : i know . we are so alike . we 're so alike , and it 's a little annoying sometimes . billy : yeah , but sometimes we create big things , and this is gon na be one of those times , if you let me in . phyllis : this was your deal . i just kept it warm for you . but it is not without risk . billy : of course it is n't . there 's no fun in that . adam : baby , the santoris are n't just gon na quietly let us buy them out of newman . they have to be forced out . chelsea : and victor knows about this plan ? adam : victor and i orchestrated the whole plan , yeah . chelsea : you created this with victor together . adam : right . sweetheart , i told you , i 'm done going after my father . i meant it . chelsea : okay , so marisa ? she was just wrong ? adam : well , marisa and luca believe exactly what victor and i want them to believe . and you need to make sure that marisa continues to think that i 'm teaming up with her husband , okay , to go after victor . you need to do that for your own safety . chelsea : all right , so this is all just one big master plan between you and victor . adam : yeah . it 's what i told you . you believe me , right ? chelsea : i do . i believe you . but this is all very troubling . adam : troubling how ? chelsea : because you do n't even see what victor is doing to you . noah : that 's right . i make one phone call to my grandfather and i give him about -- what -- two minutes before he takes you down , luca . luca : what 's he talking about ? you 're not making any sense . noah : i 'm not , really ? [ chuckles ] you want to play games with me right now ? think that 's smart ? marisa : noah figured it out , luca . most of it . noah : you 're working with adam , which is why chelsea ran in here and dragged you off to talk . you and adam are making a move on victor . luca : so , go on , then . make your call . noah : you 're not denying it ? you are making a move on my grandfather , are n't you ? yeah . good . i want in . victor : hi , sweetheart . abby : jack offered me a job at jabot . victor : what do you mean , he offered you a job ? you already have a job . abby : no , i have a title . i 'm coo , and adam has shoved me aside . he does all the big deals , the contracts , the negotiations . i did n't even know about this hostage exchange . victor : sweetheart , the reason you did n't know about it is because only those who were directly involved were informed . everyone else i wanted to keep safe . abby : dad , i am an adult . i am a member of this family . and if i 'm not valued enough to consult and inform , then i 'm gon na go someplace where i am , where i 'm respected and brought in on those decisions . i 'm going to jabot . kevin : we should go to where adam was held . recreate the scene or subpoena phone records or -- dylan : wait a second . maybe -- maybe it 's not somebody in the area . maybe this all originated back in geneva . that 's where you met natalie , right ? kevin : online first , then in person at a café when i was there with jack , yeah . dylan : and then the mystery investor contacted her after that , so maybe this goes back to switzerland . let 's retrace your steps . let 's retrace natalie 's . we can work backwards and find the mastermind that way . billy : a little danger is good for you .

[ knock on door ] i 'll get it . luca : we need to talk about the next stage of our plan . adam : yeah , uh ... now 's not a good time , so ... chelsea : no . it 's okay . go on . the plan to do what , exactly ? billy : i do have someplace to be . victoria : well , home will still be there when the doctors sign your release , and you know the kids and i are n't going anywhere . billy : yeah , you sure about that ? johnny 's getting big . he 'll probably be in college by the time i get out of here . victoria : nope . you 'll be there for every milestone , every memory . no visitation . just permanent togetherness . billy : how are you gon na put up with me ? victoria : [ sighs ] i do n't know . it 's gon na be brutal . but i really do n't have a choice . it 's obvious that we do n't work apart . so you 'll just have to come home and you 'll have to tell the kids that your boo - boos are all better .

[ sighs ] and now i have to trust that you 're gon na stay in this bed . billy : off to work , huh ? victoria : yeah . but since i know you 'll be climbing the walls , i brought you a few things to keep you company . billy : aww . so sweet . victoria : yes . billy : so , what 's going on in newman enterprises today ? victoria : oh , probably more drama with this so - called computer genius . the double dealings this woman is capable of is totally disgusting . billy : you go get 'em , tiger . keep them in line . victoria : oh , yeah . i will . thank god you 're not involved with this woman and her program . no money is worth the trouble that she 's brought to this town . jack : why would you bring us to this , of all places , when you know i have had enough of this building and its owner for a lifetime ? phyllis : [ sighs ] and here i just ran into a vendor who thinks this place is magical . i think he 's intrigued with the scandal and the drama . jack : a jabot vendor who would rather hang out at a newman facility ? tell me who it is . we 'll cut him loose . victor : well . jack : oh , finally . some service . maybe you could get us a couple of menus or tell us what the specials are today . victor : how about some dry crackers from the vending machine ? that 'd be more appropriate , considering your rather limited budget these days . phyllis : did you just make a joke ? did he just make a joke ? i saw dylan here before . how many laws did you break today , victor ? jack : maybe it 'd take less time for you to tell us how many laws you did n't break . unless this was about adam . are we any closer to finding out who 's behind the kidnapping ? victor : whoever 's behind it will pay . they 'll pay dearly . but you stay away from my son and the project . jack : ooh , we have dug our heels in awfully quickly , ready for any attack , imagined or real . victor : this is nothing , jack . there once was a family , whole family , that tried to destroy my entire empire , and now they barely have enough money to order dry crackers . jack : he 's right , you know . phyllis : jabot is not dead , not by a long shot . jack : no , the next time we 're hungry , we 're better off at a vending machine than coming to this place . phyllis : agreed . [ cell phone chimes ] natalie : this is fun and all , playing cops and kidnappers with you , but there 's really nothing else i can tell you . dylan : uh , this other investor , the one who grabbed adam , what do you know about her ? natalie : how do you know it 's a woman ? what ? 50 % chance ? 52.3 % if you want to be -- dylan : well , the kidnapper told us himself . and he turned over a burner phone that she contacted him on , and he said it was definitely a woman who contracted him to do the job . natalie : my contact was web - based . no voice . dylan : well , maybe you can recall something from , uh , some of your exchanges . natalie : like if i could tell whether they were wearing fingernail polish by the way they input text ? dylan : all right . i get it . you 're scared to talk . natalie : what ? no , i just -- dylan : look , you 're in genoa city . people get into your business a lot here . but they also look out for you . so , if you 're afraid that this woman might come after you again , do n't be . we 're gon na protect you , because i promise you we 're gon na put the pieces together . and you know better than anyone there 's no way to erase something that 's in cyberspace . so , if you know anything about the plan , now would be a good time to say something , because i guarantee we 're gon na figure it out . and if it turns out you knew something , i would just hate to see you go down with the rest of them . luca : our plan ? well , it 's a business acquisition . you know , small outlay , very little risk . chelsea : really ? in what division ? adam : yeah , buddy , you know what ? just the timing is not good . chelsea : is that the problem here ? the timing ? or is the problem that i 'm in the room so you 're gon na have to come up with a cover story , and then i 'm gon na have to call you out on it in front of luca , and things are just gon na get weird ? adam : okay , honey ... chelsea : so i 'll tell you what . i 'm gon na make things easy on all of us and , uh , i 'll just leave . adam : okay , slow down . just , you know -- chelsea : no , no , i am not gon na slow down , because this is n't about newman business . you are keeping something from victor . why is that , adam ? may i remind you you were just kidnapped , and now you want to enter a secret alliance with a very dangerous family ? ! adam : i 'm not in danger , okay ? keep your voice down , please . i was never in danger . chelsea : you promised me you would n't do anything to risk being taken from me again . you think getting involved with the santoris is really the safest path , do you ? adam : i 'm not putting anyone 's life at risk , okay ? i 'm not putting my life at risk , your life at risk . i would never do that . you know that . chelsea : i used to know that . i do n't know . maybe the fear wore off and now you 're just back to being you . this is so like you , adam . and i hate it . adam : thank you very much for that . what the hell 's the matter with you ? you just show up unannounced , uninvited , just start talking ? luca : soon secrecy will be a moot point . you 'll be running newman , and i 'll be running all santori endeavors . adam : yeah , well , you know what ? we 're not there yet . luca : yeah , but we 're close . adam : what the hell 's this ? luca : records , contracts , communications . proof of illegal business practices by my father . adam : where 'd you get all this ? luca : marisa . she 's beautiful and resourceful . she and i want the same things in life , and that starts with these . adam : this is good . this is ... this is beyond good . luca : i held up my end of the deal . what about you ? dylan : i think maybe you do know something about this woman . natalie : how ? i did n't even know it was a her . maybe she did n't know i was a her , either . dylan : except she asked for `` the girl `` in the trade . natalie : okay , good point . but i still do n't know anything about her . dylan : so you were gon na hand a random person a revolutionary idea ? natalie : none of it was random . there was a lot of vetting on both sides to prove that i had a legit idea and she had serious money . dylan : without ever meeting in person ? natalie : it was all online accounts , routing numbers , wire transfer instructions . but then the deal tanked and i went to work for victor . i guess `` her `` does n't take rejection well . [ door opens ] victoria : what are you doing in here ? dylan : uh , victor offered his office so natalie and i could talk . victoria : well , i hope she was helpful . dylan : i 'll let you know if i have any more questions . natalie : super . ca n't wait . dylan : [ sighs ] victoria : please tell me that you 're building a case to throw her in jail . dylan : for what ? she did n't kidnap adam . victoria : but she 's the reason someone did . she 's shady and she 's careless and she pissed off the wrong investor . dylan : yeah , shady is one thing . illegal activity is another . victoria : whatever she 's telling you , i 'm sure she 's working another angle . dylan : well , i do n't doubt that . victoria : you do n't ? dylan : no . i 'm gon na do my job , and i 'm gon na find out what that angle is . victoria : good . billy : hey . what 's going on with you two ? jack : well , someone ruined my appetite , and my wife suggested we check on you instead . billy : fantastic timing . i just finished counting the ceiling tiles , and it was amazing . jack : nice to know you still have priorities . so , listen , i want to talk to you about what you 're gon na do once you get out of here . billy : i already have plans . victoria 's forcing me to sit on the couch and let the kids crawl all over me . jack : well , that 'll do for a while . but then i want you to come back and work at jabot . billy : jack . do n't start getting crazy on me , okay ? i did n't walk into the light . jack : no , this is n't crazy . this is sanity . it may be too little too late , but it 's all i have . billy , i should have backed your investment when you asked . billy : why would you do that ? i only came to you because my horse did n't come in , literally . and that was after i ended up costing you and jabot millions of dollars going after victor with this new and improved paragon . none of that changes because i 'm here , because i was somebody 's speed bump . phyllis : okay , take it easy there . jack : intentions matter . you did the wrong thing with paragon for a hell of a good reason -- to wipe that smug look off of victor 's face and to hand him a loss . billy : and look where it got us , jack . i ended up handing him a bigger and better win . phyllis : we both did . jack : so we rebuild . together . we rebuild the business our father started , remembering what makes our family strong . what do you say ? billy : the fact that you 're asking me this right now means the world to me . and if i get weepy , i will blame the meds . phyllis : you 're not on any pain meds . billy : you 're not helping . jack : i 'm not telling you to put your pants on and get to work . i 'm just saying ... billy : let me think about it . jack : okay . but whenever you 're ready , so is your office . adam : do n't worry . i 'll have enough proof of malfeasance to bury victor . no problem . luca : by when ? the clock is ticking , my friend . adam : yeah . yeah , i know , but , you know , unlike you , i do n't have marisa gathering my information . i got to do that on my own , right ? and i do n't know , maybe you 've heard something about this , but i had myself taped to a chair in some damn motel room all week , so it 's hard to , you know , do stuff . luca : yeah . granted . but now it 's time to hold up your end . adam : yeah , i know . it 's tricky . you know , we got to be methodical , complete about this . i got one shot to nail victor , all right ? if i tip my hand , if i hit anything less than a home run , i 'm roadkill . luca : yeah , we both would be . my father would use every resource he has to hunt me down . i 'd never see the light of day again . but what about this latest move with your father ? yeah , just add that to the list of victor 's crimes . he -- he kidnapped my wife . he blamed my family for your kidnapping . adam : here 's the thing , though . do n't make it personal , okay ? just keep it strictly business . you bring emotion into this whole thing , you lose control of the situation . how 'd they nail al capone ? was it body count ? no . it was tax evasion . so that 's what we need . we need proof of any kind of illegal activity via mail , e - mail , phone records . we 'll have federal fraud charges . that 's how we get him , okay ? we open up this whole `` he said , she said `` kidnapping thing , that 's a -- that 's a hole , we start digging , we do n't want to crawl down into , okay ? luca : yeah , and i wo n't have marisa be a target , not for the police and not for victor . adam : exactly . we 're on the same page . i just need a little more time here , okay ? luca : keep that . make the case indisputable . adam : exactly . that 's when we move in for the kill , right ? our lives will be forever changed .

[ cell phone rings ] victoria : [ sighs ] it 's memorial . hello ? this is she . okay , great . i 'll be right there . one step closer to billy 's release . they want to brief me on his aftercare , so i have to get going . victor : you convey one message to billy boy . he 's not part of this deal . dylan : we definitely have our locals that could have arranged adam 's kidnapping , so we got to consider motives and opportunity . we sure about all these men 's names ? kevin : well , the woman could have been a go - between and not the puppet master . we need to take that into consideration . dylan : well , i questioned the kidnapper , and , you know , i got the vibe that it was the woman calling the shots . ashley abbott . i mean , she knows the dynamic between victor and adam . kevin : here 's the thing . i do n't see ashley saying not to hurt him , though . she has reason to see him hurt , just like the rest of us . why not take a couple of shots at him while he 's in captivity ? and the abbotts were at the hospital worried about billy . dylan : which is the perfect cover . jack and phyllis . also at the hospital . and jack would never put adam in danger . kevin : yes , but per the instructions , adam never was in danger . dylan : nikki newman ? kevin : uh - huh . dylan : are you -- are you being serious ? that 's ridiculous . kevin : what ? she owes victor payback after all these years . dylan : that 's my mom ! kevin : i know ! would n't it be great to see her pull one over on him ? dylan : you 're really gon na do with this ? oh , okay . well , uh , nikki was very upset that she was left in the dark about adam 's kidnapping and exchange . there . kevin : i need the hope of this possibility in my life . dylan : [ sighs ] kevin : and we still have a bunch of question marks . well , that 's been helpful . dylan : well , the one person who would have wanted to stick it to victor and adam both is the only person who could n't have done it . billy : i 'm the reason why jabot 's in the toilet . i also wanted to be the reason why we sent him to the stratosphere so high that victor could never screw us again . phyllis : you have already won , billy . you have everything you could ever need . billy : need ? yeah . want ? it 's a little trickier , is n't it ? what about you ? you have a lot to risk here . phyllis : if i do n't do it , i risk more . i lose my dignity , i lose my self- respect . i owe this to victor . i am not going to back away now . i am going to take him down on my own . i will , and you 're gon na watch and cheer , and it 'll still be fantastic . billy : watch and cheer . from the stands . phyllis : the timing is n't right . okay , i get it . billy : timing ? yeah . so what do i do ? wait for a better chance to stick it to victor ? no . i 'm gon na do this with you . let 's take him down . victor : this is impressive . adam : it 's fantastic is what it is , right ? luca was able to assemble enough information . we 're gon na be able to burn the santori business to the ground . victor : you did all this while being kidnapped ? adam : yeah . why not ? i 'm a multi - tasker . you know that . besides , as far as kidnappings go , this one was -- was almost pleasant , actually . victor : but you know i was worried about you . that 's why i allowed the cops to become involved . dylan convinced me it would be more effective that way . adam : and you listened to him ? imagine that . victor : will miracles never cease ? i actually listened to him . adam : i 'd still like to know who snagged me , though , you know , and why . victor : it 's not gon na happen again . whoever was involved in that and the santoris will soon learn the same lesson . and then you and i will devote ourselves to this internet security project . adam : which i was already a part of . i just did n't realize it when i was strapped to that chair , right ? victor : you know it 's gon na revolutionize the internet world . you know that , do n't you ? and you 'll be right by my side when it happens .

ashley : that 's true . as much as he hates victor , maybe it does n't really run that deep . jack : then again , he does blame victor for destroying his family . ashley : yeah , so he came to town with a grudge against victor . but you know what ? what we 're talking about , this planned , vindictive attack ? that takes a lifetime of animosity , jack . it really does . i mean , that 's something intense and personal , you know ? that 's not gabe . the more i think about it , i do n't think he 's our man . you know why ? he has no finesse . he fell so hard and so fast from that lofty c.e.o . position . that 's not the work of a mastermind . you know what ? we got to get to the office . do you want to grab a coffee on the way ? jack : uh , no , you go ahead . i have something i have to take care of . ashley : okay . see you later . chelsea : this is an ambush with real estate and champagne . it was supposed to be simple , adam . this was supposed to be just one week , not a whole new beginning . adam : listen , i know that forgiveness was n't supposed to be on the table , okay ? i get that . but what would you have us do ? go back to genoa city , live separate lives ? does n't that sound like hell ? chelsea , we can be together as long as we stay here , but that 's the only way we can be together , okay ? and in order to do that , i need you to get over the past . i know that sounds crazy . i know what i 'm asking you to do is a lot . i do . but i want you to think for a second about the reward , okay ?

[ scene_break ] luke : and whenever i made alliances with people like jerry jacks and julian jerome , i always told them that there was this ... guy in port charles who looked just like me . and then i 'd take all that darkness and stuff it so deeply inside that it became a different identity . i told myself that it would never touch my life here . lulu : that 's why you were always disappearing when i was growing up . you were n't being neglectful . you did n't want us to see that side of you . luke : sweetheart , i just did n't want any of that to touch my family . tracy : but something happened last year to make that part of you take over .

[ scene_break ] dante : do n't call security . she suffered a huge loss . she 's grieving . she 's not dangerous . elizabeth : [ scoffs ] i would n't be so sure . i ca n't have her disturb the patients . dante : i will handle it , okay ? please . elizabeth : okay . valerie : i do n't need to be handled . i need to find luke . dante : okay , i thought you were , uh -- i thought you were still downstairs . valerie : in the morgue with my mom 's body ? dante : i turned around to do some paperwork , i looked back , and you were gone . valerie : somebody has to make him pay ! dante : okay , look , there 's gon na be consequences for luke . valerie : like what ? believe me . having him eat hospital food ? dante : luke 's under arrest . okay , no one 's gon na forget what he 's done , but you confronting him -- that 's not gon na make you feel any better . valerie : yes , it will . dante : you want to place blame on somebody for your loss . i get that . but -- but luke 's -- you 're not gon na find it there . okay , the crazy son of a bitch that tied you to a chair and held you at gunpoint -- that guy is gone . all that 's left in that room is a shell . and all you 're doing now is not letting yourself feel the pain that you need to feel . valerie : not letting myself ? ! that pain , that loss ? that 's the only thing i can feel . [ crying ] my mother is dead because of -- my mother 's dead because of that son of a bitch . [ sobs ] [ scene_break ] luke : i would n't even allow myself to remember what patricia did for me . tracy : patricia understood that your father was responsible for your mother 's death . luke : oh , no , he was n't . i did it . i killed her . lulu : no , you did n't . luke : lulu , i did n't mean to , but i hit her with a bat . and i - i could n't face what i had done , so i ... locked it away somewhere in my head until ... bill eckert was dying , and he told me i should forgive myself for what i did to my mother . and then i still could n't face it , so i ... stashed it away along with that part of me that was like my father . and i hoped that it would just die , disappear , wither away . tracy : it did n't stay gone , did it ? luke : no . every year -- year or so , it would start to surface , and ... i could feel the hate and the anger and the disappointment boiling up inside of me . so i would vanish . i 'd go hang out with people like cesar faison , julian jerome . [ scene_break ] carlos : i was just surprised , that 's all . i mean , i thought he 'd be mopping floors at the gallery or something . julian : hmm . well , jake was at the right place at the right time . carlos : well , you found a way to make yourself useful , huh , chacho ? julian : very useful . you know , his skills are even more impressive then , uh -- then i was led to believe . carlos : what happened ? julian : what ha -- [ chuckles ] [ clears throat ] you see , i walked in to find this place ransacked courtesy of shawn butler . yeah , he and his two no - necks were about ready to drag me down to the marshlands for a beating . yeah , apparently , we boosted a truck of his , you know , which is funny , 'cause [ chuckles ] that was -- that was the first i 'd heard about it . carlos : maybe we should n't talk about this in front of him . jake : hmm . you know , i 'm already involved , so my neck is on the line . you can trust me . carlos : maybe i do n't consider your word to be good enough . [ scene_break ] patrick : where 's all your stuff , by the way ? i thought you were bringing it with you . sam : it 's at the garage . patrick : oh , yeah ? jake could n't just throw it in the back of the car for you ? sam : um ... well ... he did n't have a car . there was a motorcycle in the shop , and we borrowed it . patrick : sam ... what ? you got on the back of a motorbike with a guy that probably ca n't remember if he knows how to ride one ? sam : there are some things that jake just knows how to do . patrick : yeah , like taking hostages and shooting cops . sam : patrick ! patrick : what ? sam : stop . patrick : i 'm concerned , sam . sam : there 's nothing to be concerned about . it was a sweet bike . it was in really good condition . and once i climbed on behind jake , it was clear he knew exactly what he was doing . [ scene_break ] jake : okay , i get it . i can take a hint . [ sighs ] carlos : i do n't like that guy . julian : well , he 's the least of your concerns . [ clears throat ] did you go behind my back and hit one of the corinthos shipments ? carlos : damn right , i did . [ scene_break ] ric : sounds like jake is trying to prove himself above and beyond to julian . sonny : and carly 's tripping all over herself promising that , you know , this guy is legit , that him working with julian is not gon na cause any trouble . i 've seen -- i 've seen this a mile away . a guy that good -- he 's gon na sell himself to the highest bidder . ric : well , with any luck , jake will be leaving town soon ... with his wife . [ scene_break ] nikolas : i do n't need to justify myself to you . you 're the one perpetrating the fraud here . hayden : now , why would i want to claim some man is my husband if he was n't ? do i look like i have a problem getting guys ? i mean , sure , jake 's easy on the eyes , but he has no memory , he has no friends in high places , no money . he just dodged a laundry list -- nikolas : money . hayden : right . as in jake has none . nikolas : oh , he might not , but the person who paid you off does . and i know exactly who that is . [ scene_break ] elizabeth [ sighs as she answers ric 's texts ] ric : you know , jake 's wife could be the answer to all of our problems . [ cell phone chimes ] ric : oh . and this is where i leave you . sonny : elizabeth ? ric : yeah . i 'll be in touch . [ scene_break ] morgan : wow . kiki : [ chuckles ] what ? morgan : [ sighs ] we just -- we still have chemistry off the charts . michael : well , well , well . is n't this whole thing cozy ? [ sighs ] [ scene_break ] hayden : you 're back to being boring . time to go . nikolas : no , unh - unh . come on . it 's obvious who set you up to run this con against jake . somebody with motive , somebody with connections , the means to make all your lies seem valid . hayden : really ? and who would that be ? nikolas : my grandmother . hayden : i beg your pardon ? nikolas : helena cassadine is bankrolling you , is n't she ? hayden : you got me . [ scene_break ] sam : i could tell right away that jake was an experienced rider . patrick : okay . not helping . sam : are you kidding me ? ! stop it . this is coming from the guy who used to race stock cars ? if there was one sitting in a garage , you would find any excuse to drive it , right ? patrick : yes , i would . sam : okay . well , that 's exactly what happened . i was in a garage , there was a bike , and i got to ride it , and it was fun ! patrick : okay . i get it , adventure girl . sam : adventure buddy . we 're a team , remember ? patrick : yeah , we are . which is why i do n't want anything to happen to you . sam : okay . look ... not a scratch . i 'm in one piece . patrick : [ chuckles ] sam : i 'm here . for you . i 'm ready to move in . patrick : yeah , you are . [ scene_break ] julian : so , you went behind my back ? carlos : i saw an opportunity to strike , and i took it . come on . did n't you tell me you wanted me to be more proactive ? julian : hijacking shipments is only gon na alert the corinthos family that we are up to something , and i do not want them to find out that we are planning a hit on one of their key people until it is done . [ scene_break ] luke : and whenever i made alliances with people like jerry jacks and julian jerome , i always told them that there was this ... guy in port charles who looked just like me . and then i 'd take all that darkness and stuff it so deeply inside that it became a different identity . i told myself that it would never touch my life here . lulu : that 's why you were always disappearing when i was growing up . you were n't being neglectful . you did n't want us to see that side of you . luke : sweetheart , i just did n't want any of that to touch my family . tracy : but something happened last year to make that part of you take over . [ scene_break ] valerie : [ voice breaking ] my mom was all i had . my parents broke up before i was even born . as far back as i can remember , it 's always been me and my mom . first , she took care of me . then , when she got sick , i took care of her . i did n't want her to go to oak hill . she insisted . she said it was time , that i could love and support her and still have my own life . dante : sounds like your mother loved you a lot . valerie : she wanted the best for me . but i did n't do the best for her . dante : hey , no , no , no , no . you said she was the one who decided -- valerie : i left my mom , my brave , beautiful , helpless mom vulnerable to her crazy brother . and now she 's gone . and i do n't know what i 'm gon na do without her . [ scene_break ] sabrina : we were just leaving . excuse me . sonny : can you wait just ... i ... i - i just -- can i -- i 'd like to see my daughter . [ avery coos ] [ scene_break ] michael : you know what , keeks ? you should have saved your money . i 'm sorry , i 'm sorry -- my money on that annulment diane got you if you were just gon na go right back to morgan . o - or did you ever leave morgan in the first place ? kiki : michael , you know that 's not true . i loved you , and you are the one that ruined our relationship . michael : what relationship ? you only wanted me , because you could n't have me , because i was -- i was forbidden . we were cousins . [ cell phone beeps ] michael : but , oh , oops , oops . no , no , no , we were n't . and morgan knew that . and he tricked you into marrying him . and you were so sad , and you hated morgan . he -- he was gon na let me drown in the pier that night , and you said you were never gon na forgive him , but it sure as hell looks like you forgave him now . you know , maybe it 's more simple than that . maybe you just want the brother you ca n't have , and now -- now -- now it 's -- now it 's morgan 's turn . morgan : watch it , mikey , or -- michael : michael ! michael ! my name is michael . it 's been that my whole damn life . and you only started calling me `` mikey `` when she showed up . was -- was that -- is that a way to -- to impress her , to make yourself look superior so she 'd overlook the fact that you have no job , no education , and your greatest accomplishment was losing $ 50,000 in online poker ? that 's fantastic . kiki : really ? morgan : it 's okay . it 's all right . no -- no , it 's all right . kiki : we 're just trying to have a nice lunch here , michael . michael : no , you 're not . no , you 're not . you 're trying to rub this in my face . i know exactly what you two are doing . kiki : are you drunk ? our little sister was just here . is this how you take care of avery ? michael : i - i -- aj . aj . and do you see her anywhere ? 'cause i sure do n't . morgan : is this what you do ? huh ? you fight to take our sister away just so you can pawn her off on the -- on -- on the nanny , michael ? michael : is that how you see me ? kiki , i loved you . do you get that ? do you -- do you understand that i - i loved you ? morgan : okay , you know what , michael ? i think it 's time for you to go , bud . michael : i 'm not going anywhere , jackass . [ swings at morgan but ends up falling on a bench ] [ scene_break ] dante : you know , my mother was a single mother , too . i mean , we were lucky enough we had her family around to support us , but when i -- when i think of my life , my family , that 's me and my mother . valerie : so , you get it . dante : yeah , i do . my mother -- she 's a -- she 's a force of nature . valerie : [ chuckles ] dante : i ca n't imagine my life without her . and i 'm married now , and i got a son , but ... i 'll always be her son . i do n't know what i would do if something were to happen to her . valerie : here 's a guess . you might hate the person responsible for her death . you might want them to suffer the way they made her suffer . dante : i ca n't say i know exactly how you 're feeling , but i can tell you that vengeance is n't gon na bring your mother back . valerie : so , what ? i 'm wrong for wanting justice ? dante : you want justice , valerie , you got to find it in your heart , in everything she told you , in every moment you had with her . those moments -- the moments -- no one can take those moments away from you . valerie : like she was taken from me ? [ scene_break ] lulu : things changed when you were in that psych ward . after you found carly on the quartermaine boathouse and heather 's orderlies locked you up , you were drugged and electroshocked . luke : yeah , i think heather did that to make me docile , but it had the opposite effect . it brought back all those childhood memories , but i could n't handle all that darkness . so i stuffed the real me in some prison in my mind and gave in to the brutality . and i turned into that son of a bitch ... tim spencer . tim : hey , son . take a look at this . tracy : luke ? luke : [ sighs ] now the wall 's broken . what if that part of me wo n't go away ? what if it 's -- what if it 's gon na be with me always ? what if i ca n't put that monster back in the cage ? [ scene_break ] sabrina : mr. corinthos , i 'm sorry , but michael gave me strict instructions that if i were to run into you , i 'm supposed to get aj out of here . sonny : i do n't want to cause any trouble for you , but i 'm the little girl 's father . sabrina : uh , the court made michael her guardian . sonny : we both know why -- 'cause the judge is in the quartermaines ' pocket . i love this little girl . i just want to spend one minute with her . i 'm not asking to -- i 'm not asking to hold her .

[ scene_break ] nikolas : of course , helena put you up to this . here i thought confining her to an island might slow her down . and evidently i was n't naive enough to believe that i truly stopped her . i - i 'm just curious . how did she even contact you ? hayden : oh , you know her . [ chuckles ] she has her ways . nikolas : [ sighs ] damn it . i thought i made it clear to grandmother that she 's not in charge anymore -- i am . hayden : that must really piss you off , huh ? nikolas : all she does is cause problems . [ sighs ] as if the situation were n't complicated enough , right ? hayden : i just cash the checks . nikolas : right . well , i 'm sure she told you how important it is that jake not remember who he really is . hayden : obviously . nikolas : then you must understand that this needs to stop . i was handling this . you coming here only aroused the suspicion of the people close to him . jake 's history was a closed issue before you showed up on elizabeth 's doorstep . what did you think would happen when someone starts to dig a little deeper into this , trying to confirm your story ? hayden : hey , this is between you and your grandmother . nikolas : yeah , well , i 'm calling her and ending your charade as jake 's wife . i 'm sure she 'll take care of you financially , but you 've got to go . hayden : okay , i 'm gon na stop you right there before this goes any further . i have no idea who the hell you 're talking about . it 's called bluffing , and it worked . [ scene_break ] kiki : did we go too far ? morgan : what do you mean `` too far ? `` kiki : you saw michael . you saw how bad he looked . i mean , he was wasted . what -- what if he hurts himself ? okay ... or what if he hurts someone else ? morgan : relax , okay ? you heard michael . he 's a quartermaine . that includes drivers 24/7 . the only thing that michael 's gon na hurt today is his pride and his reputation when that video hits `` access port charles . `` that 's it . kiki : you sure ? morgan : yes . i 'm positive . i mean , come on , kiki . this could n't have gone better if we scripted it . i only wish he caused that scene in front of avery and this would all be over .

katie : no , it was great . dinner was great . it 's just , i 'm used to having it after a cocktail party . jack : yeah , see , that 's what i 'm talking about , though . cocktail parties are a big mistake . usually people are coming home after work , they have n't had anything to eat . empty stomach , they knock a couple back , all of a sudden they 're acting silly and all they 've got to eat are those little thingies on the toothpicks . this way you eat , you get it over with . what ? what are you laughing at me for ? katie : just 'cause you 're right . cocktail parties are the worst . i never thought about it , but i 'm always trying to hold my purse and my drink and the napkin -- jack : do n't forget the little thingy on the toothpick . this way we 're good . katie : we 're so good . jack : well , we should probably get going . katie : oh my god , look , fitas ! jack : oh , knock yourself out . i could not eat another bite . katie : they 're not food . they 're umm -- brazilian , right ? you tie one around your wrist while making a wish , and by the time it falls off , the wish is supposed to come true . what are you doing ? jack : oh , how about an orange one ? oh , sure , hang on a second . oh , okay , hold on a second . there , it 's all you . thank you . let me have your wrist , madam . this way , we both get to make a wish . katie : and what are we wishing for ? jade : you did this . you ran will off the road and you 're trying to make it look like i was trying to kill him . cleo : i do n't even have a car . jade : you stole one . just like you stole my necklace . you planted it at the scene . cleo : that 's a lie ! jade : it 's not . you did this . you 're trying to set me up . maddie : why would cleo want to set you up ? jade : because i read her diary . dallas : what diary ? cleo : it 's my diary , but it 's never seen , never read . jade : her diary that proves i did n't do this . dallas : and where 's this diary ? cleo : it 's in my locker at work . i would n't just leave it lying around . and i certainly would n't write the horrible things that she said i did . jade : oh , yeah . like about how you 're in love with will ? and how you 're going to try to get rid of gwen so the two of you can be together ? cleo : of course i love will . look at him ? he 's a wonderful person . but i love gwen , too . i would never do anything to hurt them . they 're like my dream couple . jade : oh , please . would you just save that for somebody else ? for somebody who does n't know who you are and why you 're here and how you got here ? noah : okay , i 'm hooked . why is she here ? jade : do you want to tell them , cleo ? or should i ? cleo : there 's nothing to tell ! she 's making this all up ! jade : i could n't make this up if i tried . cleo is one of a kind , no matter how much you think you look like gwen , not that you looked anything like gwen when you answered my ad months ago -- gwen : you met cleo when ? jade : before you did . i 'm the reason cleo came to oakdale . cleo : she 's making this all up ! i came because of you , gwen , and your singing . jade : you came here because you did n't have a life and you wanted gwen 's , and i can prove that without your precious diary . it 's over , cleo . it 's finished . cleo : i 'm not lying about anything and i 'm not gon na let you stand there and threaten my very good friends . will needs to go home , he 's hurt . jade : yeah , by you . dallas : you said you had proof . i 'd like to see it . jade : a few months ago , i took some space on a website and i posted a picture -- i posted gwen 's picture . i was really angry about a lot of things and i thought i was going to do this -- something to make me feel better . i was just so sick of her getting away with everything and i thought , maybe if i could -- gwen : you could what ? jade : i thought if i could find somebody that looked like you , i could get her to do something -- something really , really bad and then you could get blamed for it . will : so you advertised for someone who looks like gwen and cleo showed up ? jade : yeah , and then i realized she was a complete nut job . cleo : i 'm not a nut job . jade : at first , i did n't think she looked like gwen at all , but she could sound like gwen . i got to admit , it was -- it was pretty amazing and she already had a wig and i got her some teeth and clothes . and then i made the mistake of telling her why i was doing this and she went completely bananas , until she realized that if she helped me sideline gwen , she could be with you . cleo : that is so untrue ! i was never working with her and i would never , ever hurt you , gwen . jade : at first , no , she did n't want to do anything to hurt gwen . but then she fell for will and she realized she would do whatever it took . and that 's when i woke up . i realized this was completely insane and i tried to stop her . i told her to leave oakdale . i even bought her a bus ticket . gwen : so did we . i mean , at least we gave her enough money for one . jade : yeah , and she did n't go , because by the time she got her foot in the door , she did n't want to give up . look , she even got herself in their house . cleo : that 's because they invited me to stay with them . they like me and that 's what you ca n't stand . they do n't like you . noah : so cleo , that 's why you think jade ran will off the road , because he 's friends with you now and not her ? cleo : exactly . i mean , i do n't know their entire history , but she 's jealous of them . i mean , at least that 's what gwen said . maddie : and you claim that it 's all spelled out in cleo 's diary ? jade : that 's right . you want proof , go get the diary . jack : well , i ca n't say that it goes with your outfit . katie : that 's okay . i love it . thank you . jack : as for the wish , darling ? katie : hmm , i do n't think you 're supposed to tell . jack : ah , i guess i 'm just gon na have to stick around till that thing falls off . have i told you how beautiful you look tonight ? katie : mmm , twice , i think , but who 's counting ? jack : come on , let 's go . let 's go . the sooner they take your picture , the sooner we can get out of there . come on . katie : oh , i 'm just dreading it . dreading sharing the spotlight with your oh- so - shy brother . jack : yes , imagine what it was like growing up with him . katie : i 'm having a feeling that it was a lot harder on him growing up with someone who 's so smart and handsome and decent . that 's probably why he developed all that charm . jack : wow , i do n't whether to feel bad about that or good . katie : i 'm just saying there 's a reason i think he 's always working all the angles , you know ? he knows you 've got him beat . jack : uh - huh , katie peretti , you are stalling . you do n't want to go to this cocktail party for some reason . katie : what ? no , it 's just been so nice . just you and me , no phone calls , no drama . jack : yeah , i know . i know we have n't spent a lot of time together since carly 's been back . but all that 's gon na come to an end . now , that parker 's turning himself around , maybe the kids will spend more time with her . which leaves more time for you and me . katie : i 'm actually glad she 's back . [ jack laughs ] katie : no , i am , really . especially if it means more nights like this . carly : did it ever occur to you that i got dolled up for myself ? brad : well , hey , i love the mirror as much as the next handsome guy . carly : this is n't about vanity , it 's about my career . i 'm a designer , i have to look like one , like a good one . brad : well , i 'm all for seducing the customer . carly : yeah , i know . i 've caught your act . i have to show the world that i have style and class , and after this afternoon , i could certainly use a little fun . brad : yeah , you know what kills me is that guy let you go through your whole sales pitch before lowering the bill . he was a jerk . he was a jerk . carly : well , he did have a point . i have a criminal record . not many people are going to want to hire me . which is why i have to advertise the fact that i 'm back and that i can be trusted and i 'm worth the risk . brad : that sounds really good . when did you think of that , after you found out that jack was going to be there tonight with katie ? carly : now , wait a minute , you invited me to this party . i did n't invite myself . the question is why would you want me there ? brad : hey , i am just lookin ' out for your career . carly : right . brad : okay , you know , i felt really bad for you today after your business meeting fell apart . i mean , i know you thought it was going to be the first big assignment for your new company . and you know , but you know , then the guy told you to take a hike . that hurts . carly : so you want to stroke my wounded ego . brad : i 'll stroke whatever you got . okay , come on , carly , there 's no mystery here . you 're a beautiful woman . why would n't i want to show up someplace with you on my arm ? carly : oh , i 'm not on your arm , brad . i 'm three steps ahead of you . dallas : this diary . where 'd you say it was ? cleo : i keep it in my locker , but it 's mine and it 's very private . jade : oh , i 'm sure he wo n't tell anybody that you dot your is with hearts . cleo : that is so mean and so untrue . dallas : did you find anything ? cop # 1 : nothing . jade : what do you mean ? cop # 1 : nothing at the web address you gave me , at least not anymore . jade : well , check the server . maybe they took it down . dallas : thanks . jade : i wrote it , it was there , she saw it . do n't you have people that can break through firewalls and track web history ? dallas : yeah , we do , and i also have a sworn statement from will munson stating that you broke into his house . jade : i admitted that . dallas : witnesses that say you threatened his life . jade : i was trying to get him to listen to me . dallas : and it was your necklace at the scene of the crime . jade : i did n't run will 's car off the road . will , come on , you got to know i did n't do this to you . will ? dallas : jade , i 'm sorry , but i 'm gon na have to hold you for further questioning . the rest of you can do go for now . jade : i need to make a phone call . dallas : good idea . you 're gon na need a lawyer . jade : i do n't need a lawyer , i need somebody to believe me . dallas : good luck . noah : so , you can do an imitation of gwen ? cleo : but not a very good one . i came here because of gwen 's music , that 's all . and the fact that somebody would take something so beautiful and turn it into something ugly -- will : its okay , cleo . maddie : jade is kind of notorious around here . nobody believes her . cleo : the police believe her . will : no , they 're just trying to do their job . maddie : hey , we should get going . we have a lot to do before we leave tomorrow . noah : oh , that 's right . branson 's tomorrow . maddie : are you going to be able to go ? cleo : you have to go , will . gwen needs you there , to support her , to listen to her . will : i 'll be fine . cleo : i ca n't believe that jade would try to spoil this for you guys and blame me . i would never ruin gwen 's concert . i mean , me , of all people . will : nobody thinks that , cleo . gwen : hey , it 's okay . cleo : she 's the meanest girl i 've ever met . gwen : she 's up there . cleo : but you do n't believe her , do you , gwen ? gwen : no , of course not . noah : so , a long time ago , jade went after will ? maddie : yup , and she got him for about a minute . actually , she pretended that she was pregnant with will 's baby . noah : that 's hard to pull off . maddie : which is why she staged an accident and faked a miscarriage and blamed everything on gwen . so , setting cleo up to make it look like she forced will off the road , straight out of her playbook . noah : and she bought cleo to oakdale . see , that makes sense to me , especially if cleo can imitate gwen , although that 's really hard to believe . maddie : so , you think that jade brought cleo to oakdale but cleo had her own agenda ? noah : it sounds like you do n't think cleo could set up jade . maddie : well , come on , cleo 's a little bit scattered . i have a really hard time believing that she could pull any of this off . noah : if she 's so hopeless , how 'd she get to oakdale ? i know you do n't want to take jade 's side on this -- maddie : no , hey , not true . okay , maybe it is , a little bit , but we have some really bad blood . noah : does anybody like that girl ? maddie : her cousin , luke , which is probably best that he 's not going to branson , because he would n't leave if jade 's in jail . noah : they 're close ? maddie : very . noah : that 's interesting . i mean , if she 's such a big nightmare -- maddie : oh , no , she is , she is . but , you know , she 's family to luke . noah : hmm , yeah , well , i know how that goes . maddie : and , i mean , do n't get me wrong . luke is not stupid , it 's just that he 's really fair . if he hears both sides , he will listen and then he will support both sides . so , he 's just a great person and i just hope that he can see through jade 's act . noah : if it is an act . maddie : well , either way , i just do n't want luke to get hurt . he 's been through enough . cop # 1 : you 've got ten minutes . jade : oh , my god , luke . thank you so much for coming . i thought you were n't coming when i called . luke : of course , of course , what 's going on ? when dallas came by earlier , you said that this would amount to nothing . jade : nothing , i thought , because i did n't do anything wrong . luke : well , obviously somebody thinks you did something . jade , are you under arrest ? jade : no , not yet , but do you remember when i came by w.o.a.k . and i told you about the necklace that i lost ? luke : yeah . jade : would you be willing to swear , tell dallas , swear that i told you about the `` j `` necklace before he even ever came over ? luke : okay , yeah , yeah , fine . whatever . you told me about the necklace . but what 's going on ? jade : well , nothing , if dallas believes you . luke : believes me ? jade : yeah , somebody 's setting me up . i 'm being framed , but i can prove it . luke : wait , whoa , whoa , whoa , whoa , whoa . who 's setting you up ? jade : cleo babbitt . cleo : i would never steal her stupid necklace . i 'm the one that they steal from . they took my purse from me , remember , will ? will : i remember . cleo : and i would never do anything to hurt you . you know that , right ? gwen : cleo , why do n't we just get you inside ? you can take a hot bath . cleo : ow , my head ! will : what 's wrong ? cleo : oh , it 's like knives . will : you want some aspirin ? cleo : no , no , no , i 'm highly allergic to aspirin . i 'll just -- i 'll go get something else in town . gwen : you 're going to walk all the way back to town ? will : its okay , i 'll go . you stay here with cleo . cleo : no , you could get in another accident . she could do something to you . will : jade 's in jail . gwen : and you actually have a concussion , so you ca n't drive . will : i 'm fine . cleo : please , gwen , go with him . i absolutely could never live with myself if something happened to him . i 'll stay here and i 'll tidy up and i 'll take a bath . and you can bring me back some -- here , i 'll write it down . i used to take it when i was back home . it 's absolutely the only thing that would work for me . gwen : all right . will : okay , fine . so , come with me and we 'll get food on the way back . gwen : okay . are you sure you 're gon na be okay ? cleo : oh , yes , i 'll be fine . thank you . [ cleo gets her diary out of her purse and writes in it ] thank god i had j 's necklace to leave behind and prove it was her , not me , and that the website is gone . she 's going to ruin everything . if she 'd shown w and g what i 'd written about them , they 'd hate me . but now j 's in jail and nobody can hurt me as long as i do one last thing . good - bye . thank you for being my friend . [ she starts ripping up her diary ] katie : you 're such a good sport to do this for me . jack : are you kidding me ? you fed me . i 'm good for at least an hour . katie : do i have anything in my teeth ? jack : no , you 're camera ready . you 're beautiful . oh . katie : thank you everyone for being here and making `` oakdale now `` such a huge success . reporter : where 's brad ? ca n't celebrate without your co - star . katie : oh , i 'm sure brad 's on his way . he loves a party . photographer : so katie , who 's your date ? katie : this is detective snyder . reporter : are you just a friend , detective , or something more ? katie : oh , now , let 's not go there . the detective is nice enough to escort me here tonight , let not -- jack : hold on a second , we can answer that question , can we ? katie and i have been friends for a very long time and just recently , things changed . we 're an item ? katie : we 're an item . jack : there you go , we 're an item . officially , i am the man in her life and i could n't be happier about that . gwen : hey , are you sure you do n't want any of cleo 's pills ? will : ah , i 'm okay . gwen : i ca n't believe that the hospital did n't give you anything for pain . will : no , i 'm really fine . i 'm just hungry . we should eat . are you okay ? gwen : yeah , i 'm like fine . i 'm just really -- i 'm really glad that you did n't get seriously hurt . will : well , i 'm still going to branson , so you do n't have to worry about that . gwen : i do n't -- i do n't care about branson . i mean , you could have been killed . i honestly do n't know what i would do if anything ever happened to you . will : oh , gwen , i just bumped my head . gwen : the entire car could have flipped over . i mean , you were run off the road . will : yeah , well , jade 's being charged with vehicular whatever right now as we speak , probably . so , whatever , i 'm hungry . let 's just go , okay ? will : we ca n't stop lily from bailin ' her out ? gwen : that 's not -- that 's not what i was thinking . i was thinking about what jade said , about teaching cleo how to impersonate me . will : it was pretty weird that she knew about cleo 's little impersonations , but it 's got to be what she said , that she was watching us , right ? gwen : i mean , maybe , but when she said that she was gon na kill you -- i mean , did you take that literally ? will : i was n't really thinkin ' about it . what 's going on ? gwen : i do n't know . look , you know how i feel about jade , but there 's a giant difference between being angry and being violent . i know her necklace was here , but that means that she had to have driven you off the road , stopped , gotten out of the car and then left you there for dead . i mean , do you really think that she 's capable of that ? will : it 's a stretch . if she did n't do it , though , who did ? luke : wait , you advertised for a look - alike ? jade : yes , and for whatever reason , they ca n't find the website . luke : okay , you know what ? forget about the website . what the hell were you thinking ? jade : i was n't thinking , that 's the point . i was mad . i knew it was a mistake the minute cleo showed up . luke : so what ? so what , jade ? if someone pretty and trendy had come , you 'd like -- you 'd install her in will 's life and try to get rid of gwen ? jade : listen , i 'm not perfect , okay ? i 'm sorry . i get mad , i get hurt and i do stupid things , but i would n't hurt anybody . you have to know that . and i would n't be violent . i 'm not asking you to lie . i 'm just asking you to tell dallas the truth that i told you about the necklace . and maybe , he 'll spend a little bit more time looking for the website . luke : okay . well , i still do n't understand how that proves anything . jade : it proves that i brought cleo to town . it gives her a motive . she tried to set me up because i want to tell gwen and will the truth . luke : yeah , but , jade , you already told them the truth . jade : yeah , but they do n't believe me because my necklace was at the accident site ! luke : okay , look , do n't yell at me ! jade : luke , i 'm just really , really worried . if you do n't believe me , i do n't know what i 'm gon na do ! luke : okay , i did n't say -- i did n't say -- i never said that i did n't believe you . i just -- you need proof . jade : the diary -- the diary is proof . you got to talk to will and you got to tell him to find out where the hell it is , because she lays it all out in there . when he reads it , he 'll know that i did n't do this to him , that he 's in danger from cleo . cleo : i 'm so sorry . but you understand , right ? i mean , because if will and gwen ever found you , they 'd hate me . it would be just like we were when we were back in turlock . but i 'll never forget you . you 're the only one that i could ever talk to . the only one who ever loved me . but now will loves me . and i have to trust that . i do n't have to write about it anymore . i can live it ! katie : you okay ? jack : yeah , i 'm fine . photographer : if i could have katie and brad ? katie : be right back . jack : no problem . brad : yes , katie , come over here . excuse me , carly . i have to take some pictures -- jack : what are you doing here ? carly : brad needed an escort . jack : and you thought you 'd step in and do him a favor ? carly : yeah , well , it ca n't be bad for my career to have my picture on the style page . jack : so this is for your career ? carly : among other things . jack : please tell me you 're not dating my brother . carly : would that be a problem ? jack : for you . look what happened the last time you two hooked up . carly : we have n't hooked up . jack : yet . you know that 's his m.o . carly : his m.o . ? he 's not a criminal . jack : he 's done a lot of damage . carly : okay , i 'll consider myself warned , again . this is the second time that you 've warned me . you really have a problem with me seeing him , do n't you ? reporter : so , detective snyder would be your brother , brad ? brad : sad but true . reporter : so obviously you 've got a thing for the snyder men . brad : obviously . katie : well , brad and jack are brothers , but they 're really nothing alike . i mean , they 're both good looking and smart and funny , but jack is a grown - up and brad is -- brad . brad : nothing against my brother -- he makes the world a safer place for , you know , you and me and everybody else . but if you had to tune in every day and watch him , it would be like -- [ snores ] katie : okay , everyone , i think i need to get my co - star a cup a coffee . brad : how about a drink ? a drink would be nice . katie : what are you trying to prove ? brad : what , i mean , what ? jack could no more carry a show than i could wear your pumps . katie : i 'm talking about you walking in here with carly as your date . brad : oh , well , you know , i felt sorry for her . she 's all alone and she does n't have a job , and with her record , who 's gon na hire her ? you know , so i thought , you know , raise her profile , let her show up , do some networking . maybe it 'll help . katie : oh , yeah . she 's networking , all right . carly : i did n't mean to chase you off . jack : you did n't . drink ? carly : i just wanted to tell you i think it 's sweet how you worry about me . jack : old habits die hard . carly : nothing has to die . katie : you brought carly here for one reason , to stick it to jack . brad : yeah , he looks real stuck . ( alarm sounds ) brad : look at how upset he is , talking to his ex - wife . so upset he 's getting her a drink . reporter : if i could follow up about your ratings . katie : oh , you 'll want to talk to brad about that . he 's a whiz with numbers . brad : well , the only thing i know about the numbers , is that they 've gone way up since i came onboard . carly : we have the kids and a lot of memories . katie : carly , this is a surprise . carly : well , you know brad , did n't want to show up empty - handed . katie : right . jack : would you like something to drink ? katie : i would love something to drink . a water , please . jack : wonderful . excuse me . carly : that 's a pretty dress . katie : thank you . carly : and the fita 's an interesting choice . katie : oh , you know about fitas ? carly : and making a wish ? and waiting for the string to rot ? katie : jack bought it for me . carly : oh , my goodness . that 's so sweet . katie : yes , it was . but it was more than that , actually . see , this is n't a huge diamond pendant or anything . but i 've never really been one to go for that sort of thing . and the look on jack 's face when he gave it to me , when he tied this around my wrist ? that was something i will treasure for the rest of my life . noah : so you think will and gwen will press charges ? maddie : absolutely . and then it 's good - bye jade and hopefully , if we 're lucky , luke will get his sense of humor back . noah : luke 's funny ? maddie : when he 's not worried about something ? hilarious . noah : i 'll make a note . maddie : you 'll really like him when you get to know him . noah : well , i really liked his idea for the cell phone project . maddie : i know , me too , which is why i really want him to come down to branson with us , so we could work on it together . but i guess we 'll just have to do it when we get back . noah : we better . because before you know it , summer 's going to be over . and we 're all going to go off to college . maddie : right . oh , hey , i totally forgot to ask you , where are you going ? noah : northwestern . maddie : very impressive . noah : i got lucky , very lucky . i 've wanted to go there ever since i was 14 , and my next door neighbor got accepted there . but he was , you know , captain of the football team , you know , straight a 's , president of the class . and it took me awhile , but finally , i got in . maddie : oh , did you get wait - listed ? noah : no . i had the grades . i had the scores . i even had the killer essay . it was just ' um , just a question of finances . maddie : tell me about it . if i did n't have a scholarship , i would not be going to wesleyan . noah : yeah , i did n't qualify for a scholarship . maddie : oh , so -- student loan ? sorry , that 's totally not my business . i 'm sorry . noah : no , no , please do n't worry about it . it was -- it was just family stuff . but it all got worked out and i ca n't wait . maddie : good . so , is your neighbor still there ? noah : he 's actually taking a semester abroad in london . they have all these amazing exchange programs . and it 's a great school , you should come visit . maddie : i ca n't . i mean , because i 'm going to be in -- all the way in connecticut . noah : i was n't trying to hit on you , if that 's what you think . maddie : no , no , it 's not it . it has nothing to do with you . i like you , noah , i do , and i would love to come visit you . just not in chicago . gwen : do you feel dizzy ? will : yeah . do you have your key ? gwen : no . will : where 's cleo ? gwen : cleo ? carly : jack is a very special man . katie : yes , he is . carly : i 'm glad you have that fita to remind you . katie : oh , i do n't need any reminding . carly : i know what you mean . every time i see my children , i think of him . jack : the photographer over there wants another -- wants another picture . katie : thank you . all right , one more . then we 're out of here . carly : so , tell me what 's it like , dating a superstar ? jack : well , i guess you 're going to find out . you want to date brad , that 's your business . carly : i 'm not dating brad . jack : whatever . we 're divorced . you can date whoever you want . good night , carly . brad : okay , this party did not rock . so , let me guess , you 're tired and want to call it a night ? carly : i am tired , now that you mention it . brad : what a surprise . carly : but you know what ? i think we should do it again . katie : thank you so much . carly : very soon . noah : so , what 's wrong with chicago ? maddie : nothing , nothing , i used to live there . just a lot of bad memories . noah : so , we 'll meet in london . maddie : that sounds great . noah : do you want to get another half - calf mochaccino ? maddie : yes , please . i can not believe that you are a mochaccino lover . noah : um , what 's not to love ? maddie : ask casey , he 'll give you a complete list . noah : hey , would we 'd be overdoing it if we split a blondie ? maddie : i have been craving a blondie all afternoon , how did you know ? noah : you were fighting me for the sugar bowl , maybe ? maddie : you know , i am so happy that you 're here and that we 're working together . i 've been so lonely the past few weeks and we just -- we get along so well and you never pry , which i really appreciate . so , i 'm just -- i 'm really happy that you 're here . noah : i feel the same way . jade : i 'm so glad you 're here . you got to call luke . he was just here and he had to go . dallas : luke snyder ? your cousin ? jade : yes . he can confirm that i lost the necklace before tonight . dallas : because that 's what you told him to say ? jade : no , because that 's the truth . i told him yesterday afternoon that i was concerned because i could n't find the necklace anywhere . and he can confirm that it 's true . dallas : listen , what you told luke and when -- jade : dallas , i did n't do this . you have to call luke , you have to look for the website -- dallas : jade , even if we find the website , if even we found the ad -- even if you told luke that you lost your necklace , it does n't change the fact that you broke into gwen and will munson 's house . jade : i was trying to prove that cleo is after them and she is ! dallas : you have no proof . jade : the diary is proof . dallas : the diary that you do n't have and cleo does n't want to surrender . jade : of course she does n't want to surrender it , because it 's incriminating . you have to get a search warrant before she destroys it . dallas : no , what i have to do is read you your rights . jade taylor , you 're under arrest . anything you say , can and will be used against you . will : cleo ? cleo : sorry , i 'm so sorry , um , i fell -- i fell asleep . i know i should n't have . i was just -- i was tidying up and then i got really sleepy and my head started hurting because of that awful jade , and i just kind of sat down on the bed , and i fell asleep . but do n't worry , i smoothed it up . will : that 's not a problem . cleo : what 's that ? will : it 's your medicine . cleo : oh , right . thank you . will : we got some burgers , too , if you 're hungry . cleo : you guys really are too good to me , i do n't deserve it . gwen : it 's just a burger , cleo . cleo : i do n't think you really understand . where i come from , the girls are -- they 're so mean . that 's why i came here , to start over . i mean , that 's why i was -- oh , thank you -- that was why i was on my way to chicago . but you guys have both have been so good to me . and i just made everything worse . now , will is hurt and the car is damaged and -- jade is in jail and that 's all because of me . will : it 's a good thing i like your cookies . gwen : cleo , he 's kidding . cleo : oh . well , if that is a joke , in that case , i want to make a big batch for you to take to branson . gwen : i thought you had a headache ? cleo : oh , yeah , i do . i mean , i did . it got better when i took a nap . you know what ? i 'm going to go outside . i 'm going to go for a walk and look at the stars and get some fresh air . and oh , gwen , i washed that little top of yours , with the paisleys on it ? and you have to bring that because it looks -- it looks so cool on you . will : yeah , i like that top , too . gwen : i 'll take it . will : so , do you still think jade is telling the truth ? gwen : oh , no , no , you were right . cleo could never do anything like that . announcer : on the next `` as the world turns . `` craig : what can i do for you ? meg : take me home . and then get out of my life , forever . emily : last night you kissed me , dusty . why ? alison : i do n't want to tell you what i did after we split . what i turned into . but i 'm going to . brad : so is this new campaign to get jack back or to pay katie back ? carly : sometimes you kill two birds with one stone . | brad arrives to pick up carly to take her to the woak party , and she is dressed to the nines . jack buys katie a wish ' bracelet . jade pleads with will and gwen to believe her that cleo is out to get them , but cleo plays on their sympathy . carly claims her appearance is not about jack but for her career . dallas has enough evidence to hold jade especially after her website does n't show up where jade claims it would be , to prove she posted an ad to hire cleo . noah learns of jade 's history with everyone , but thinks that jade may be telling somewhat of the truth . jade tells luke that cleo is framing her . cleo feigns a migraine so she can be left alone where she tears up her journal . jack and katie make their relationship official , just as brad and carly arrive arm and arm . gwen is concerned about jade 's comments about cleo and thinks that it is a big leap for jade from anger to premeditated violence . luke is stunned when jade explains how she hired cleo . she begs him to believe her , back her up and find the journal . cleo talks to her journal as if it were a person and even goes as far as kissing it before she rips it up and tossing it in trash bags . she tries to throw them away , but will and gwen come home . katie is irritated that brad brought carly , as jack warns carly about how she should n't date brad . kate and carly toss subtle barbs . in the end though , jack tells carly she can date whomever she wants because they are divorced after all . carly tells brad they should do this again . noah and maddie bond some more . noah invites maddie to visit him at school in chicago , which leads her to admit to having bad memories there . dallas arrests jade . gwen thinks she was crazy to doubt cleo . cleo throws out the trash with the ripped up pieces of her journal , while luke secretly watches her . | <s>[INST] [ knocking on door ] brad : hurry up , we 're gon na be -- wow . carly : late ? well , are n't you a guest of honor ? they ca n't start the party without you . oh , come on now , brad . take a breath . people will start to think you 've never seen a girl in a dress before . brad : well , that 's some dress . carly : just a little something i whipped up for the occasion . you like ? brad : did you do this for me ? this is all for me ? carly : i did it for the cameras . you 're a public figure now , brad . presentation is half the battle . brad : hmm , yeah , what 's the other half , campaign for jack 's attention ? katie : no , it was great . dinner was great . it 's just , i 'm used to having it after a cocktail party . jack : yeah , see , that 's what i 'm talking about , though . cocktail parties are a big mistake . usually people are coming home after work , they have n't had anything to eat . empty stomach , they knock a couple back , all of a sudden they 're acting silly and all they 've got to eat are those little thingies on the toothpicks . this way you eat , you get it over with . what ? what are you laughing at me for ? katie : just 'cause you 're right . cocktail parties are the worst . i never thought about it , but i 'm always trying to hold my purse and my drink and the napkin -- jack : do n't forget the little thingy on the toothpick . this way we 're good . katie : we 're so good . jack : well , we should probably get going . katie : oh my god , look , fitas ! jack : oh , knock yourself out . i could not eat another bite . katie : they 're not food . they 're umm -- brazilian , right ? you tie one around your wrist while making a wish , and by the time it falls off , the wish is supposed to come true . what are you doing ? jack : oh , how about an orange one ? oh , sure , hang on a second . oh , okay , hold on a second . there , it 's all you . thank you . let me have your wrist , madam . this way , we both get to make a wish . katie : and what are we wishing for ? jade : you did this . you ran will off the road and you 're trying to make it look like i was trying to kill him . cleo : i do n't even have a car . jade : you stole one . just like you stole my necklace . you planted it at the scene . cleo : that 's a lie ! jade : it 's not . you did this . you 're trying to set me up . maddie : why would cleo want to set you up ? jade : because i read her diary . dallas : what diary ? cleo : it 's my diary , but it 's never seen , never read . jade : her diary that proves i did n't do this . dallas : and where 's this diary ? cleo : it 's in my locker at work . i would n't just leave it lying around . and i certainly would n't write the horrible things that she said i did . jade : oh , yeah . like about how you 're in love with will ? and how you 're going to try to get rid of gwen so the two of you can be together ? cleo : of course i love will . look at him ? he 's a wonderful person . but i love gwen , too . i would never do anything to hurt them . they 're like my dream couple . jade : oh , please . would you just save that for somebody else ? for somebody who does n't know who you are and why you 're here and how you got here ? noah : okay , i 'm hooked . why is she here ? jade : do you want to tell them , cleo ? or should i ? cleo : there 's nothing to tell ! she 's making this all up ! jade : i could n't make this up if i tried . cleo is one of a kind , no matter how much you think you look like gwen , not that you looked anything like gwen when you answered my ad months ago -- gwen : you met cleo when ? jade : before you did . i 'm the reason cleo came to oakdale . cleo : she 's making this all up ! i came because of you , gwen , and your singing . jade : you came here because you did n't have a life and you wanted gwen 's , and i can prove that without your precious diary . it 's over , cleo . it 's finished . cleo : i 'm not lying about anything and i 'm not gon na let you stand there and threaten my very good friends . will needs to go home , he 's hurt . jade : yeah , by you . dallas : you said you had proof . i 'd like to see it . jade : a few months ago , i took some space on a website and i posted a picture -- i posted gwen 's picture . i was really angry about a lot of things and i thought i was going to do this -- something to make me feel better . i was just so sick of her getting away with everything and i thought , maybe if i could -- gwen : you could what ? jade : i thought if i could find somebody that looked like you , i could get her to do something -- something really , really bad and then you could get blamed for it . will : so you advertised for someone who looks like gwen and cleo showed up ? jade : yeah , and then i realized she was a complete nut job . cleo : i 'm not a nut job . jade : at first , i did n't think she looked like gwen at all , but she could sound like gwen . i got to admit , it was -- it was pretty amazing and she already had a wig and i got her some teeth and clothes . and then i made the mistake of telling her why i was doing this and she went completely bananas , until she realized that if she helped me sideline gwen , she could be with you . cleo : that is so untrue ! i was never working with her and i would never , ever hurt you , gwen . jade : at first , no , she did n't want to do anything to hurt gwen . but then she fell for will and she realized she would do whatever it took . and that 's when i woke up . i realized this was completely insane and i tried to stop her . i told her to leave oakdale . i even bought her a bus ticket . gwen : so did we . i mean , at least we gave her enough money for one . jade : yeah , and she did n't go , because by the time she got her foot in the door , she did n't want to give up . look , she even got herself in their house . cleo : that 's because they invited me to stay with them . they like me and that 's what you ca n't stand . they do n't like you . noah : so cleo , that 's why you think jade ran will off the road , because he 's friends with you now and not her ? cleo : exactly . i mean , i do n't know their entire history , but she 's jealous of them . i mean , at least that 's what gwen said . maddie : and you claim that it 's all spelled out in cleo 's diary ? jade : that 's right . you want proof , go get the diary . jack : well , i ca n't say that it goes with your outfit . katie : that 's okay . i love it . thank you . jack : as for the wish , darling ? katie : hmm , i do n't think you 're supposed to tell . jack : ah , i guess i 'm just gon na have to stick around till that thing falls off . have i told you how beautiful you look tonight ? katie : mmm , twice , i think , but who 's counting ? jack : come on , let 's go . let 's go . the sooner they take your picture , the sooner we can get out of there . come on . katie : oh , i 'm just dreading it . dreading sharing the spotlight with your oh- so - shy brother . jack : yes , imagine what it was like growing up with him . katie : i 'm having a feeling that it was a lot harder on him growing up with someone who 's so smart and handsome and decent . that 's probably why he developed all that charm . jack : wow , i do n't whether to feel bad about that or good . katie : i 'm just saying there 's a reason i think he 's always working all the angles , you know ? he knows you 've got him beat . jack : uh - huh , katie peretti , you are stalling . you do n't want to go to this cocktail party for some reason . katie : what ? no , it 's just been so nice . just you and me , no phone calls , no drama . jack : yeah , i know . i know we have n't spent a lot of time together since carly 's been back . but all that 's gon na come to an end . now , that parker 's turning himself around , maybe the kids will spend more time with her . which leaves more time for you and me . katie : i 'm actually glad she 's back . [ jack laughs ] katie : no , i am , really . especially if it means more nights like this . carly : did it ever occur to you that i got dolled up for myself ? brad : well , hey , i love the mirror as much as the next handsome guy . carly : this is n't about vanity , it 's about my career . i 'm a designer , i have to look like one , like a good one . brad : well , i 'm all for seducing the customer . carly : yeah , i know . i 've caught your act . i have to show the world that i have style and class , and after this afternoon , i could certainly use a little fun . brad : yeah , you know what kills me is that guy let you go through your whole sales pitch before lowering the bill . he was a jerk . he was a jerk . carly : well , he did have a point . i have a criminal record . not many people are going to want to hire me . which is why i have to advertise the fact that i 'm back and that i can be trusted and i 'm worth the risk . brad : that sounds really good . when did you think of that , after you found out that jack was going to be there tonight with katie ? carly : now , wait a minute , you invited me to this party . i did n't invite myself . the question is why would you want me there ? brad : hey , i am just lookin ' out for your career . carly : right . brad : okay , you know , i felt really bad for you today after your business meeting fell apart . i mean , i know you thought it was going to be the first big assignment for your new company . and you know , but you know , then the guy told you to take a hike . that hurts . carly : so you want to stroke my wounded ego . brad : i 'll stroke whatever you got . okay , come on , carly , there 's no mystery here . you 're a beautiful woman . why would n't i want to show up someplace with you on my arm ? carly : oh , i 'm not on your arm , brad . i 'm three steps ahead of you . dallas : this diary . where 'd you say it was ? cleo : i keep it in my locker , but it 's mine and it 's very private . jade : oh , i 'm sure he wo n't tell anybody that you dot your is with hearts . cleo : that is so mean and so untrue . dallas : did you find anything ? cop # 1 : nothing . jade : what do you mean ? cop # 1 : nothing at the web address you gave me , at least not anymore . jade : well , check the server . maybe they took it down . dallas : thanks . jade : i wrote it , it was there , she saw it . do n't you have people that can break through firewalls and track web history ? dallas : yeah , we do , and i also have a sworn statement from will munson stating that you broke into his house . jade : i admitted that . dallas : witnesses that say you threatened his life . jade : i was trying to get him to listen to me . dallas : and it was your necklace at the scene of the crime . jade : i did n't run will 's car off the road . will , come on , you got to know i did n't do this to you . will ? dallas : jade , i 'm sorry , but i 'm gon na have to hold you for further questioning . the rest of you can do go for now . jade : i need to make a phone call . dallas : good idea . you 're gon na need a lawyer . jade : i do n't need a lawyer , i need somebody to believe me . dallas : good luck . noah : so , you can do an imitation of gwen ? cleo : but not a very good one . i came here because of gwen 's music , that 's all . and the fact that somebody would take something so beautiful and turn it into something ugly -- will : its okay , cleo . maddie : jade is kind of notorious around here . nobody believes her . cleo : the police believe her . will : no , they 're just trying to do their job . maddie : hey , we should get going . we have a lot to do before we leave tomorrow . noah : oh , that 's right . branson 's tomorrow . maddie : are you going to be able to go ? cleo : you have to go , will . gwen needs you there , to support her , to listen to her . will : i 'll be fine . cleo : i ca n't believe that jade would try to spoil this for you guys and blame me . i would never ruin gwen 's concert . i mean , me , of all people . will : nobody thinks that , cleo . gwen : hey , it 's okay . cleo : she 's the meanest girl i 've ever met . gwen : she 's up there . cleo : but you do n't believe her , do you , gwen ? gwen : no , of course not . noah : so , a long time ago , jade went after will ? maddie : yup , and she got him for about a minute . actually , she pretended that she was pregnant with will 's baby . noah : that 's hard to pull off . maddie : which is why she staged an accident and faked a miscarriage and blamed everything on gwen . so , setting cleo up to make it look like she forced will off the road , straight out of her playbook . noah : and she bought cleo to oakdale . see , that makes sense to me , especially if cleo can imitate gwen , although that 's really hard to believe . maddie : so , you think that jade brought cleo to oakdale but cleo had her own agenda ? noah : it sounds like you do n't think cleo could set up jade . maddie : well , come on , cleo 's a little bit scattered . i have a really hard time believing that she could pull any of this off . noah : if she 's so hopeless , how 'd she get to oakdale ? i know you do n't want to take jade 's side on this -- maddie : no , hey , not true . okay , maybe it is , a little bit , but we have some really bad blood . noah : does anybody like that girl ? maddie : her cousin , luke , which is probably best that he 's not going to branson , because he would n't leave if jade 's in jail . noah : they 're close ? maddie : very . noah : that 's interesting . i mean , if she 's such a big nightmare -- maddie : oh , no , she is , she is . but , you know , she 's family to luke . noah : hmm , yeah , well , i know how that goes . maddie : and , i mean , do n't get me wrong . luke is not stupid , it 's just that he 's really fair . if he hears both sides , he will listen and then he will support both sides . so , he 's just a great person and i just hope that he can see through jade 's act . noah : if it is an act . maddie : well , either way , i just do n't want luke to get hurt . he 's been through enough . cop # 1 : you 've got ten minutes . jade : oh , my god , luke . thank you so much for coming . i thought you were n't coming when i called . luke : of course , of course , what 's going on ? when dallas came by earlier , you said that this would amount to nothing . jade : nothing , i thought , because i did n't do anything wrong . luke : well , obviously somebody thinks you did something . jade , are you under arrest ? jade : no , not yet , but do you remember when i came by w.o.a.k . and i told you about the necklace that i lost ? luke : yeah . jade : would you be willing to swear , tell dallas , swear that i told you about the `` j `` necklace before he even ever came over ? luke : okay , yeah , yeah , fine . whatever . you told me about the necklace . but what 's going on ? jade : well , nothing , if dallas believes you . luke : believes me ? jade : yeah , somebody 's setting me up . i 'm being framed , but i can prove it . luke : wait , whoa , whoa , whoa , whoa , whoa . who 's setting you up ? jade : cleo babbitt . cleo : i would never steal her stupid necklace . i 'm the one that they steal from . they took my purse from me , remember , will ? will : i remember . cleo : and i would never do anything to hurt you . you know that , right ? gwen : cleo , why do n't we just get you inside ? you can take a hot bath . cleo : ow , my head ! will : what 's wrong ? cleo : oh , it 's like knives . will : you want some aspirin ? cleo : no , no , no , i 'm highly allergic to aspirin . i 'll just -- i 'll go get something else in town . gwen : you 're going to walk all the way back to town ? will : its okay , i 'll go . you stay here with cleo . cleo : no , you could get in another accident . she could do something to you . will : jade 's in jail . gwen : and you actually have a concussion , so you ca n't drive . will : i 'm fine . cleo : please , gwen , go with him . i absolutely could never live with myself if something happened to him . i 'll stay here and i 'll tidy up and i 'll take a bath . and you can bring me back some -- here , i 'll write it down . i used to take it when i was back home . it 's absolutely the only thing that would work for me . gwen : all right . will : okay , fine . so , come with me and we 'll get food on the way back . gwen : okay . are you sure you 're gon na be okay ? cleo : oh , yes , i 'll be fine . thank you . [ cleo gets her diary out of her purse and writes in it ] thank god i had j 's necklace to leave behind and prove it was her , not me , and that the website is gone . she 's going to ruin everything . if she 'd shown w and g what i 'd written about them , they 'd hate me . but now j 's in jail and nobody can hurt me as long as i do one last thing . good - bye . thank you for being my friend . [ she starts ripping up her diary ] katie : you 're such a good sport to do this for me . jack : are you kidding me ? you fed me . i 'm good for at least an hour . katie : do i have anything in my teeth ? jack : no , you 're camera ready . you 're beautiful . oh . katie : thank you everyone for being here and making `` oakdale now `` such a huge success . reporter : where 's brad ? ca n't celebrate without your co - star . katie : oh , i 'm sure brad 's on his way . he loves a party . photographer : so katie , who 's your date ? katie : this is detective snyder . reporter : are you just a friend , detective , or something more ? katie : oh , now , let 's not go there . the detective is nice enough to escort me here tonight , let not -- jack : hold on a second , we can answer that question , can we ? katie and i have been friends for a very long time and just recently , things changed . we 're an item ? katie : we 're an item . jack : there you go , we 're an item . officially , i am the man in her life and i could n't be happier about that . gwen : hey , are you sure you do n't want any of cleo 's pills ? will : ah , i 'm okay . gwen : i ca n't believe that the hospital did n't give you anything for pain . will : no , i 'm really fine . i 'm just hungry . we should eat . are you okay ? gwen : yeah , i 'm like fine . i 'm just really -- i 'm really glad that you did n't get seriously hurt . will : well , i 'm still going to branson , so you do n't have to worry about that . gwen : i do n't -- i do n't care about branson . i mean , you could have been killed . i honestly do n't know what i would do if anything ever happened to you . will : oh , gwen , i just bumped my head . gwen : the entire car could have flipped over . i mean , you were run off the road . will : yeah , well , jade 's being charged with vehicular whatever right now as we speak , probably . so , whatever , i 'm hungry . let 's just go , okay ? will : we ca n't stop lily from bailin ' her out ? gwen : that 's not -- that 's not what i was thinking . i was thinking about what jade said , about teaching cleo how to impersonate me . will : it was pretty weird that she knew about cleo 's little impersonations , but it 's got to be what she said , that she was watching us , right ? gwen : i mean , maybe , but when she said that she was gon na kill you -- i mean , did you take that literally ? will : i was n't really thinkin ' about it . what 's going on ? gwen : i do n't know . look , you know how i feel about jade , but there 's a giant difference between being angry and being violent . i know her necklace was here , but that means that she had to have driven you off the road , stopped , gotten out of the car and then left you there for dead . i mean , do you really think that she 's capable of that ? will : it 's a stretch . if she did n't do it , though , who did ? luke : wait , you advertised for a look - alike ? jade : yes , and for whatever reason , they ca n't find the website . luke : okay , you know what ? forget about the website . what the hell were you thinking ? jade : i was n't thinking , that 's the point . i was mad . i knew it was a mistake the minute cleo showed up . luke : so what ? so what , jade ? if someone pretty and trendy had come , you 'd like -- you 'd install her in will 's life and try to get rid of gwen ? jade : listen , i 'm not perfect , okay ? i 'm sorry . i get mad , i get hurt and i do stupid things , but i would n't hurt anybody . you have to know that . and i would n't be violent . i 'm not asking you to lie . i 'm just asking you to tell dallas the truth that i told you about the necklace . and maybe , he 'll spend a little bit more time looking for the website . luke : okay . well , i still do n't understand how that proves anything . jade : it proves that i brought cleo to town . it gives her a motive . she tried to set me up because i want to tell gwen and will the truth . luke : yeah , but , jade , you already told them the truth . jade : yeah , but they do n't believe me because my necklace was at the accident site ! luke : okay , look , do n't yell at me ! jade : luke , i 'm just really , really worried . if you do n't believe me , i do n't know what i 'm gon na do ! luke : okay , i did n't say -- i did n't say -- i never said that i did n't believe you . i just -- you need proof . jade : the diary -- the diary is proof . you got to talk to will and you got to tell him to find out where the hell it is , because she lays it all out in there . when he reads it , he 'll know that i did n't do this to him , that he 's in danger from cleo . cleo : i 'm so sorry . but you understand , right ? i mean , because if will and gwen ever found you , they 'd hate me . it would be just like we were when we were back in turlock . but i 'll never forget you . you 're the only one that i could ever talk to . the only one who ever loved me . but now will loves me . and i have to trust that . i do n't have to write about it anymore . i can live it ! katie : you okay ? jack : yeah , i 'm fine . photographer : if i could have katie and brad ? katie : be right back . jack : no problem . brad : yes , katie , come over here . excuse me , carly . i have to take some pictures -- jack : what are you doing here ? carly : brad needed an escort . jack : and you thought you 'd step in and do him a favor ? carly : yeah , well , it ca n't be bad for my career to have my picture on the style page . jack : so this is for your career ? carly : among other things . jack : please tell me you 're not dating my brother . carly : would that be a problem ? jack : for you . look what happened the last time you two hooked up . carly : we have n't hooked up . jack : yet . you know that 's his m.o . carly : his m.o . ? he 's not a criminal . jack : he 's done a lot of damage . carly : okay , i 'll consider myself warned , again . this is the second time that you 've warned me . you really have a problem with me seeing him , do n't you ? reporter : so , detective snyder would be your brother , brad ? brad : sad but true . reporter : so obviously you 've got a thing for the snyder men . brad : obviously . katie : well , brad and jack are brothers , but they 're really nothing alike . i mean , they 're both good looking and smart and funny , but jack is a grown - up and brad is -- brad . brad : nothing against my brother -- he makes the world a safer place for , you know , you and me and everybody else . but if you had to tune in every day and watch him , it would be like -- [ snores ] katie : okay , everyone , i think i need to get my co - star a cup a coffee . brad : how about a drink ? a drink would be nice . katie : what are you trying to prove ? brad : what , i mean , what ? jack could no more carry a show than i could wear your pumps . katie : i 'm talking about you walking in here with carly as your date . brad : oh , well , you know , i felt sorry for her . she 's all alone and she does n't have a job , and with her record , who 's gon na hire her ? you know , so i thought , you know , raise her profile , let her show up , do some networking . maybe it 'll help . katie : oh , yeah . she 's networking , all right . carly : i did n't mean to chase you off . jack : you did n't . drink ? carly : i just wanted to tell you i think it 's sweet how you worry about me . jack : old habits die hard . carly : nothing has to die . katie : you brought carly here for one reason , to stick it to jack . brad : yeah , he looks real stuck . ( alarm sounds ) brad : look at how upset he is , talking to his ex - wife . so upset he 's getting her a drink . reporter : if i could follow up about your ratings . katie : oh , you 'll want to talk to brad about that . he 's a whiz with numbers . brad : well , the only thing i know about the numbers , is that they 've gone way up since i came onboard . carly : we have the kids and a lot of memories . katie : carly , this is a surprise . carly : well , you know brad , did n't want to show up empty - handed . katie : right . jack : would you like something to drink ? katie : i would love something to drink . a water , please . jack : wonderful . excuse me . carly : that 's a pretty dress . katie : thank you . carly : and the fita 's an interesting choice . katie : oh , you know about fitas ? carly : and making a wish ? and waiting for the string to rot ? katie : jack bought it for me . carly : oh , my goodness . that 's so sweet . katie : yes , it was . but it was more than that , actually . see , this is n't a huge diamond pendant or anything . but i 've never really been one to go for that sort of thing . and the look on jack 's face when he gave it to me , when he tied this around my wrist ? that was something i will treasure for the rest of my life . noah : so you think will and gwen will press charges ? maddie : absolutely . and then it 's good - bye jade and hopefully , if we 're lucky , luke will get his sense of humor back . noah : luke 's funny ? maddie : when he 's not worried about something ? hilarious . noah : i 'll make a note . maddie : you 'll really like him when you get to know him . noah : well , i really liked his idea for the cell phone project . maddie : i know , me too , which is why i really want him to come down to branson with us , so we could work on it together . but i guess we 'll just have to do it when we get back . noah : we better . because before you know it , summer 's going to be over . and we 're all going to go off to college . maddie : right . oh , hey , i totally forgot to ask you , where are you going ? noah : northwestern . maddie : very impressive . noah : i got lucky , very lucky . i 've wanted to go there ever since i was 14 , and my next door neighbor got accepted there . but he was , you know , captain of the football team , you know , straight a 's , president of the class . and it took me awhile , but finally , i got in . maddie : oh , did you get wait - listed ? noah : no . i had the grades . i had the scores . i even had the killer essay . it was just ' um , just a question of finances . maddie : tell me about it . if i did n't have a scholarship , i would not be going to wesleyan . noah : yeah , i did n't qualify for a scholarship . maddie : oh , so -- student loan ? sorry , that 's totally not my business . i 'm sorry . noah : no , no , please do n't worry about it . it was -- it was just family stuff . but it all got worked out and i ca n't wait . maddie : good . so , is your neighbor still there ? noah : he 's actually taking a semester abroad in london . they have all these amazing exchange programs . and it 's a great school , you should come visit . maddie : i ca n't . i mean , because i 'm going to be in -- all the way in connecticut . noah : i was n't trying to hit on you , if that 's what you think . maddie : no , no , it 's not it . it has nothing to do with you . i like you , noah , i do , and i would love to come visit you . just not in chicago . gwen : do you feel dizzy ? will : yeah . do you have your key ? gwen : no . will : where 's cleo ? gwen : cleo ? carly : jack is a very special man . katie : yes , he is . carly : i 'm glad you have that fita to remind you . katie : oh , i do n't need any reminding . carly : i know what you mean . every time i see my children , i think of him . jack : the photographer over there wants another -- wants another picture . katie : thank you . all right , one more . then we 're out of here . carly : so , tell me what 's it like , dating a superstar ? jack : well , i guess you 're going to find out . you want to date brad , that 's your business . carly : i 'm not dating brad . jack : whatever . we 're divorced . you can date whoever you want . good night , carly . brad : okay , this party did not rock . so , let me guess , you 're tired and want to call it a night ? carly : i am tired , now that you mention it . brad : what a surprise . carly : but you know what ? i think we should do it again . katie : thank you so much . carly : very soon . noah : so , what 's wrong with chicago ? maddie : nothing , nothing , i used to live there . just a lot of bad memories . noah : so , we 'll meet in london . maddie : that sounds great . noah : do you want to get another half - calf mochaccino ? maddie : yes , please . i can not believe that you are a mochaccino lover . noah : um , what 's not to love ? maddie : ask casey , he 'll give you a complete list . noah : hey , would we 'd be overdoing it if we split a blondie ?

[ scene_break ] alexis : so , what has my ex - husband done now ? and why do i need to know ? jordan : julian 's in the hospital . alexis : oh . is it serious ? jordan : well , yes , someone hit him with their car last night . molly : please tell me he 's dead . alexis : molly . molly : he tried to kill you , mom . it 's okay to wish for bad things to happen to him , so , yes , if he 's not dead , then i hope he 's dying , slowly and painfully . why do n't you ? alexis : because he 's a human being . molly : only in the literal biological sense . alexis : do you know who hit him ? jordan : not yet . whoever it was took off . alexis : were there , uh , security footage ? any traffic cameras , witnesses ? jordan : nope . not yet . molly : well , if you find whoever did this , and , honestly , i kind of hope you do n't , you can tell them that i will help them raise money for their defense . alexis : so is julian conscious ? does he remember anything ? jordan : just getting a drink at a roadhouse in branford . probably to get away from the people staring at him at the metro court . alexis : mmm . jordan : unfortunately , he has no recollection of the accident . anyway , the main reason that i 'm here , i 'm concerned that this may have been another attempt on his life . alexis : really ? jordan : yes . we 're trying to determine if maybe this hit and run had some connection to the car bomb that killed morgan corinthos . alexis : well , that 's a good idea . you can never be too careful . [ scene_break ] dr. obrecht : you know something , franco ? you are actually quite an honorable man . franco : thank you , liesl . i do try . dr. obrecht : it was n't a compliment . it was a statement of fact . as an honorable man , you must resist taking action . until baker makes a move , there is nothing you can do . he is free to languish in his brother 's living room until the kuhe kommen nach hause [ cows come home ] . franco : oh ! he 's on the move .

[ sighs ] carly : you and i , we 're going to be miserable . i mean , i know we 're going to keep up appearances with the kids -- sonny : mm - hmm . carly : and for everyone else 's sake , but ... when you feel like your heart is splitting open , i 'm going to be going through the same thing . so maybe we can ... look out for each other , you know ? maybe we can make each other feel a little better . sonny : mm - hmm . [ scene_break ] tracy : well , that could have gone better . but on the bright side , she 's certainly keeping a positive attitude about things . finn : you really believe that ? tracy : not even as i was saying it . finn : i did n't think so . she needs to face what 's happening . tracy : why ? finn : do you really have to ask me that ? tracy : she is infected with a disease that is going to kill her at some point . there are no symptoms to treat , thank god , and there is no known cure at the moment , so there 's nothing for her to do . finn : yeah , except for live in a state of denial . tracy : well , you are working to find a cure . finn : yes . although it 's going rather slow without having access to a lab . tracy : oh , gee , too bad you quit general hospital when you did ! finn : i only quit before i could be escorted from the premises . tracy : well , what 's the board supposed to do after brad found zen - zen in your lab ? finn : zekenestrol . zekenestrol . it 's not like i 'm taking it for kicks . it 's keeping me alive . and now it 's going to have to keep hayden alive . tracy : do you have enough ? finn : not even close . [ scene_break ] elizabeth : it looks like you 're doing a lot better . you beat sepsis in record time , especially if you 're able to come back to work . i 'm sure you 'll be back at 100 percent ... hayden : [ crying ] elizabeth : hayden .

[ mimics explosion ] hattie : [ mimics explosion ] shawn : yeah , are n't we kind of dancing around the obvious here ? i mean , stefano was , what , 100 years old ? i mean , any life insurance company would deny him coverage . kate : i would n't be so sure about that . a few years back , when we were still married , we both took out enormous policies on each other . i could n't sleep unless i had one eye open for six months after that . rafe : why did stefano want more life insurance ? kate : maybe he knew that his death was imminent . rafe : but if he knew that there was no hope , that he was dying ... kate : believe me , he 's not the type of person to sit around and wait for that . rafe : the person who made hope believe that he had tortured bo was stefano . kate : and you 're sure about that ? rafe : yeah , i 'm sure about that . i kept trying to calm her down , and he kept throwing gasoline on the fire . it was like he knew when she showed up at his place that she was eventually gon na -- shawn : she was playing right into his hands . rafe : he goaded her into shooting him . shawn : i mean , ca n't justin call that suicide instead of murder ? rafe : well , we would have to prove it , but , if we could , that could be hope 's ticket to freedom .Summarize.[/INST]shawn and rafe investigated stefano 's emails . they noticed that he was emailing the same person . hattie told hope why she was in jail . hattie was arrested for embezzlement . hope suspected that her boyfriend set her up . coco and sheila watched them talking . a new inmate spotted hope and hattie together . the inmates told her that hope is high and mighty . the inmate wanted to take hope down a peg . rafe and shawn talked to kate about george kline . kate wondered if stefano was sick before he died . chille approached hope about her seat . hattie defended hope from chille . chille thought hope was enough meat for her . abe , theo , and valerie spent time together at the town square . valerie 's phone messed up so theo offered to fix it for her . while he was looking at her phone , he read her text messages . chille pulled out a shank to attack hope . hattie threatened her , but she did n't listen . hope got the drop on chille and pushed her down on the table .</s> | 9,186 |

( chuckles ) hope : ( sighs ) mom , look , i know you 're worried about steffy , but you really do n't need to be . there is nothing she can do to hurt us . brooke : i guess i 'm just being overly cautious . hope : i feel like that 's my fault . brooke : what ? of course not . why would you say that ? hope : yes . no , it is . i kept coming to you , telling you how insecure i was about steffy being around oliver , which , you know , i was , but you were always there watching out for me . and now oliver and i have never been better , so you see ? i mean , steffy 's got nothing on us . brooke : yeah . you 're right . hope : and do n't forget . you and donna have never been better . ridge : we haven forgotten about that . hope : mm - hmm . so you see , steffy 's fantasy mission to split you guys up is just that . it 's a fantasy . you guys are indestructible . steffy knows that . brooke : my wise , beautiful daughter . you 're so positive and so full of light . thank you .

[ scene_break ] donna : you do n't really think that brooke has a vendetta against you . katie : i just -- i do n't know who she is anymore . donna : it 's funny . she says the same thing about you . katie : you know , i keep thinking that the next time we 're gon na get together , it 'll be different . we 'll be able to come to some kind of a understanding , to have a normal conversation . but every single time i 'm with her , every word out of her mouth just drips with contempt . donna : she does n't mean it that way , okay ? she 's your big sis . katie : well , i 'm not a little kid anymore . it 's not okay to talk to me like that . donna : you asked eric to demote her . katie : no , i asked eric to stop playing matchmaker . donna : and you do n't think she has a right to be angry about that ? katie : well , why do n't we make a list and see who gets to be angrier ? donna : you 're angry ? i thought you were in love with ridge and you could n't be happier . katie : i am . and i 'm not gon na apologize about that -- not to brooke or anyone else . [ scene_break ] brooke : you put katie in charge to punish bill for getting involved with me . karen : i did n't trust his judgment anymore . brooke : but look what 's happened to the company . and can you trust katie 's judgment now that she 's involved with ridge ? karen : look , katie 's done some wonderful things with spencer , and the employees happen to love her . brooke : then make her the head of human resources . karen : i doubt she 's gon na stay on if i give bill her position . brooke : if spencer publications was really her passion in life , she would . but it 's not . but it is bill 's passion and it always has been . you and i both know what it takes to succeed . i know because i ran forrester creations . you have to have that fire , you have to have that intensity , and my children do . i see it in your daughter , as well . but with katie , it 's very different . she just wanted to make sure everybody knew that she was right and all of us were wrong . especially me . do you really want that in a mind - set as a c.e.o . ? bill : brooke , what 's going on ? [ scene_break ] liam : do you know why wyatt and i will never get along ? quinn : because you 're jealous and judgmental . liam : because he 's nothing like me . and in the end , that 's why hope 's gon na choose me . quinn : but you begged her to come back , and she did n't . liam : yeah , well , she will . it 's only a matter of time . you see , i have this philosophy that decency and honesty wins out in the end , that people have this tendency to gravitate toward what 's good . quinn : and that 's you . liam : at least i try . so , no , i do n't have to do anything to lure hope back to me . i just have to be me . let 's try an experiment . you and wyatt , you can be you . and in the end , we 'll see who it 's more obvious hope should be with . quinn : oh . but , liam , it already is obvious . and that man is my son . [ scene_break ] katie : [ sighs ] you 're upset with me for talking to eric ? donna : yeah . and i do n't even see the point . if you and ridge are as committed as you say you are and bill is back with brooke -- katie : oh , what ? then there 's nothing to worry about ? come on . eric just gave her the opportunity to have her cake and eat it , too . she gets to live with bill and work with ridge . i mean , why have one man when you can dig your claws into two ? donna : oh , katie , come on . you are reading way too much into this . katie : are you kidding me ? after everything that 's happened ? you remember the last time i was reading too much into things when i accused brooke of having feelings for bill , and she denied it and denied it to me ? well , maybe she did n't deny it to you . listen , donna , i 'm sorry . i do n't want to put you in the middle of things . but you can not keep things from me . if you hear that brooke is up to something , you have got to let me know . [ scene_break ] brooke : bill , look who 's here . bill : yes , my long - lost sister karen . you two just happened to run into each other ? karen : brooke invited me to lunch . bill : did she ? me too . brooke : you wanted to talk to her , and karen seemed reluctant to get on the phone . karen : i 've been busy . bill : helping katie run my company -- our company -- into the ground ? brooke : why do n't you two talk about business later ? let 's just spend the time to catch up . come on . karen : i do n't think this is a very good idea . brooke : karen , wait . please , just hear bill out . bill : what happened , karen ? why 'd you turn on me ? i mean sure , all right . we had our differences over the years , but with all the big stuff ? i was there for you . i supported you and dani . i stepped in with caroline . made you a ton of money . i mean , does n't that count for something ? instead you -- you turn on me , you team up with katie . you -- you take spencer from me . you know what that company means to me . it 's like -- it 's like kidnapping my child . you want to teach me a lesson ? lesson learned . you ca n't handle people like you handle business . i was wrong , the way that i treated you and katie . i ca n't take it back . all i can do is learn from what this experience has taught me . brooke : i became very close to your sister towards the end of her life , and family meant everything to her . i 'm sure she would hate to see this . the way you and your brother are . you two should be happy . you should be working together . karen : what about you and katie ? you 're family , too . brooke : yes , but spencer publications is your family business , not hers . bill : is this why you asked us here today ? to try and get karen to reinstate me as c.e.o . ? brooke : yes , bill . that 's exactly what i 'm asking your sister to do . | liam tells quinn to get out or he will throw her out . she is just there to do damage control for her son to get liam to back off . that is not going to happen . he emphasizes there is nothing she can do or say that will get him to give up on hope ; nothing ! quinn tells him that hope does n't need him to protect her . she needs a man and does n't need some whiney little boy who throws temper tantrums every time he does n't get what he wants . his father gave him a position in the company and just spoiled him . he should be grateful for what he does have and not hold onto what is n't his . she knows he thinks the worst of her and wyatt . but she declares they are not evil . they may not be squeaky clean but when you have worked for so long and hard then it is not easy to be . they had to fight and claw and hustle their way to the top and she is not going to apologize for that and she 's not going to let him judge her for that either . he went too far today . he scoffs that she is the last person who should be lecturing him about going too far . quinn says do not compare the two . if she has made any mistakes at all it is because she has let her passion and ambition get the better of her . he tried to get hope alone so he could beg her to get back to him . he says she is right .. all hope is to her is ambition , a connection to one of the most prestigious companies in the world . she points out that fc works with them because they have an exceptional product . she and wyatt have earned their respect .everyone except for liam .which is a shame as she was hoping he could get along with wyatt as brothers . hope tells wyatt that liam is out of control . wyatt agrees . that is exactly how he would describe it too kidnapping her , stealing his camper but it is okay now as they are back in the office safe and sound . hope adds and not pregnant and she could have been . and she realizes that liam over - reacted . wyatt adds and liam calls him and his mom crazy . they do n't know if liam ever towed and rv before . he had no idea what he was doing and could have hurt hope . donna drops in on katie who tells her she can not have lunch today . she has a million things to do . donna says and the most important is to deal with brooke . katie says sorry , she has a business to run and can not think about brooke and her vendetta . and that is what it is to get back together with bill and then call her in the middle of the night to brag about it . she is surprised brooke did not put her on the speaker phone so ridge could hear it all too . so just leave her out of it . she and bill have a son and that is all that they share . every time she thinks the next time will be different . they will be able to have an understanding and have a normal conversation . but every time she is with brooke every word out of her mouth drips with contempt . she 's not that little kid anymore so brooke does n't get to talk to her that way . so why do n't they make a list and see who gets to be angrier . she is in love with ridge and she is not going to apologize to brooke or anyone . karen is shocked that brooke wants her to fire her sister . brooke says she wants what is best for both families and spencer publications . it sounds harsh , but she 's not being vindictive . katie just should not be running the family business . karen should give bill back his job and he will take charge . she only put katie in charge to punish bill for being involved with brooke . karen says she could not trust his judgment anymore . katie has done a good job and the employees love her and she doubts she will stay on if she gives bill her job . brooke argues that sp is not katie 's passion , but it is bill 's and always has been . justin tells bill during a workout that the company numbers do n't look good . he better hurry back to the job or there will be nothing to come back to . justin says karen is back in town . he needs to set up a meeting with her . find his mojo and their next meeting will be at the spencer gym . brooke calls bill and asks how quickly can he get cleaned up and meet her at il giardino . he laughs and says he just had lunch there with justin but he will meet her . karen inquires and brooke says it 's just a project she is working on . | <s>[INST] liam : you either get out or i throw you out . quinn : go ahead , liam . you put your hands on me and see what happens . liam : quinn , do you think i 'm afraid of you ?

[ scene_break ] liam : do you know why wyatt and i will never get along ? quinn : because you 're jealous and judgmental . liam : because he 's nothing like me . and in the end , that 's why hope 's gon na choose me . quinn : but you begged her to come back , and she did n't . liam : yeah , well , she will . it 's only a matter of time . you see , i have this philosophy that decency and honesty wins out in the end , that people have this tendency to gravitate toward what 's good . quinn : and that 's you . liam : at least i try . so , no , i do n't have to do anything to lure hope back to me . i just have to be me . let 's try an experiment . you and wyatt , you can be you . and in the end , we 'll see who it 's more obvious hope should be with . quinn : oh . but , liam , it already is obvious . and that man is my son . [ scene_break ] katie : [ sighs ] you 're upset with me for talking to eric ? donna : yeah . and i do n't even see the point . if you and ridge are as committed as you say you are and bill is back with brooke -- katie : oh , what ? then there 's nothing to worry about ? come on . eric just gave her the opportunity to have her cake and eat it , too . she gets to live with bill and work with ridge . i mean , why have one man when you can dig your claws into two ? donna : oh , katie , come on . you are reading way too much into this . katie : are you kidding me ? after everything that 's happened ? you remember the last time i was reading too much into things when i accused brooke of having feelings for bill , and she denied it and denied it to me ? well , maybe she did n't deny it to you . listen , donna , i 'm sorry . i do n't want to put you in the middle of things . but you can not keep things from me . if you hear that brooke is up to something , you have got to let me know .

brooke : why do n't you two talk about business later ? let 's just spend the time to catch up . come on . karen : i do n't think this is a very good idea . brooke : karen , wait . please , just hear bill out . bill : what happened , karen ? why 'd you turn on me ? i mean sure , all right . we had our differences over the years , but with all the big stuff ? i was there for you . i supported you and dani . i stepped in with caroline . made you a ton of money . i mean , does n't that count for something ? instead you -- you turn on me , you team up with katie . you -- you take spencer from me . you know what that company means to me . it 's like -- it 's like kidnapping my child . you want to teach me a lesson ? lesson learned . you ca n't handle people like you handle business . i was wrong , the way that i treated you and katie . i ca n't take it back . all i can do is learn from what this experience has taught me . brooke : i became very close to your sister towards the end of her life , and family meant everything to her . i 'm sure she would hate to see this . the way you and your brother are . you two should be happy . you should be working together . karen : what about you and katie ? you 're family , too . brooke : yes , but spencer publications is your family business , not hers . bill : is this why you asked us here today ? to try and get karen to reinstate me as c.e.o . ? brooke : yes , bill . that 's exactly what i 'm asking your sister to do .Summarize.[/INST]liam tells quinn to get out or he will throw her out . she is just there to do damage control for her son to get liam to back off . that is not going to happen . he emphasizes there is nothing she can do or say that will get him to give up on hope ; nothing ! quinn tells him that hope does n't need him to protect her . she needs a man and does n't need some whiney little boy who throws temper tantrums every time he does n't get what he wants . his father gave him a position in the company and just spoiled him . he should be grateful for what he does have and not hold onto what is n't his . she knows he thinks the worst of her and wyatt . but she declares they are not evil . they may not be squeaky clean but when you have worked for so long and hard then it is not easy to be . they had to fight and claw and hustle their way to the top and she is not going to apologize for that and she 's not going to let him judge her for that either . he went too far today . he scoffs that she is the last person who should be lecturing him about going too far . quinn says do not compare the two . if she has made any mistakes at all it is because she has let her passion and ambition get the better of her . he tried to get hope alone so he could beg her to get back to him . he says she is right .. all hope is to her is ambition , a connection to one of the most prestigious companies in the world . she points out that fc works with them because they have an exceptional product . she and wyatt have earned their respect .everyone except for liam .which is a shame as she was hoping he could get along with wyatt as brothers . hope tells wyatt that liam is out of control . wyatt agrees . that is exactly how he would describe it too kidnapping her , stealing his camper but it is okay now as they are back in the office safe and sound . hope adds and not pregnant and she could have been . and she realizes that liam over - reacted . wyatt adds and liam calls him and his mom crazy . they do n't know if liam ever towed and rv before . he had no idea what he was doing and could have hurt hope . donna drops in on katie who tells her she can not have lunch today . she has a million things to do . donna says and the most important is to deal with brooke . katie says sorry , she has a business to run and can not think about brooke and her vendetta . and that is what it is to get back together with bill and then call her in the middle of the night to brag about it . she is surprised brooke did not put her on the speaker phone so ridge could hear it all too . so just leave her out of it . she and bill have a son and that is all that they share . every time she thinks the next time will be different . they will be able to have an understanding and have a normal conversation . but every time she is with brooke every word out of her mouth drips with contempt . she 's not that little kid anymore so brooke does n't get to talk to her that way . so why do n't they make a list and see who gets to be angrier . she is in love with ridge and she is not going to apologize to brooke or anyone . karen is shocked that brooke wants her to fire her sister . brooke says she wants what is best for both families and spencer publications . it sounds harsh , but she 's not being vindictive . katie just should not be running the family business . karen should give bill back his job and he will take charge . she only put katie in charge to punish bill for being involved with brooke . karen says she could not trust his judgment anymore . katie has done a good job and the employees love her and she doubts she will stay on if she gives bill her job . brooke argues that sp is not katie 's passion , but it is bill 's and always has been . justin tells bill during a workout that the company numbers do n't look good . he better hurry back to the job or there will be nothing to come back to . justin says karen is back in town . he needs to set up a meeting with her . find his mojo and their next meeting will be at the spencer gym . brooke calls bill and asks how quickly can he get cleaned up and meet her at il giardino . he laughs and says he just had lunch there with justin but he will meet her . karen inquires and brooke says it 's just a project she is working on .</s> | 4,057 |

( sighs ) actually , i ... ( sighs ) i was in the gym yesterday , and i opened up the steam room door , and ... long story short , thomas was in there with summer . ridge : oh . okay . maybe that 's what he meant . brooke : what ? ridge : oh , last night he was talking about following in my footsteps . i guess he was talking about meeting some girl in the steam room . brooke : ( sighs ) classic ridge . thomas has learned from the best . ridge : well , it was a pretty good move , was n't it ? next , i 'll have to have him learn , uh , forrester jet seduction . he does seem to be enjoying himself , though . i 'm glad to see he 's getting out and seeing different girls . brooke : well , he ... ( sighs ) certainly does n't seem to be tying himself down . ridge : no , but it seems kind of strange , because he said there was someone special in his life ... but maybe that 's summer . brooke : or maybe that 's madison . he 's been seeing a lot of her . ridge : or ... maybe this someone special is , uh , someone else entirely . i wonder . [ scene_break ] nick : well , if that 's all , i will -- i 'll see you next time . dr. lewis : nick , you have options . if you 're having trouble quitting , make an appointment with me . we can talk about prescriptions that are available to you -- nick : doc , listen , i 'm gon na -- i 'm gon na do this my way for right now , so if i quit smoking , great . if not , it -- well , just whatever 's meant to be is meant to be , okay ? stephanie : that 's a hell of an attitude . nick : well , stephanie , lovely to see you at my doctor 's appointment . why am i not surprised ? stephanie : i wanted to talk to you , and a little tiny bird just happened to tell me where you were . nick : little bird , huh ? english accent , boy toy husband ? stephanie : mm - hmm . how did you know ? i also wanted to see you . that support group that we talked about , i 'm going to try and put it together . dr. lewis : oh , that 's wonderful . nick : that sounds like a great idea , stephanie . stephanie : good , because i 'm gon na ask you to come . nick : me ? why ? because of my cigars ? stephanie : duh . dr. lewis : nick seems to feel a cigar now and then is n't so bad . i wonder what the people in this support group would say about that . nick : ( sighs ) stephanie : i 'm sure that they would be , uh , very interested . ( chuckles ) i want you to come . look , it -- i do n't know them yet . we 're just going to get to know one another . they 'll share their stories with me , and maybe , if you would listen , you 'd learn something . nick : well , i do n't know why they 'd want me there . stephanie : why would n't they want you there ? the whole idea of a support group is to support . nick : i know . stephanie : nick , i - i have n't met them yet . we 'll talk . we 'll exchange stories . one of them is -- is six years free of cancer , and the other was just recently diagnosed . this is important for you , nick . you gave me your word that you would stop smoking . you stood on that boat , and you said you 'd quit . nick : ( sighs ) stephanie : now maybe if you were to meet these people and listen to what they 've been through , maybe it would help you . and you 've got to think about that little boy . [ scene_break ] brooke : i do n't think thomas is seeing any one girl in particular right now . ridge : well , that 's as it should be . i just hope that once he decides to settle down , it 'll be with the right woman ... someone like you . brooke : me ? ridge : last night , i told thomas how much you mean to me , what you bring to my life all the time . i hope someday he finds a logan of his own . brooke : now what got you talking to him about all that ? ridge : oh , i do n't know . maybe it was being at ... donna and justin 's wedding . you know i 'm a sentimental kind of guy . brooke : oh , please . ridge : well , i can be . brooke : ( giggles ) ridge : i think it was watching the two of them standing up there , committing the rest of their lives to each other and seeing you there standing there as beautiful as ever . it made me realize just how thankful i am to have you in my life , how lucky i am . so i guess i felt motivated to ... impart that wisdom to my son .

[ scene_break ] alexis : i 'm just going over some of nikolas ' papers . he never had a chance to change his will . emily : what does that mean ? alexis : it means that the cassadine estate -- or what 's ever left of it -- is being equally divided between kristina and lesley lu . emily : mm - hmm . luke and helena are both going to hate that . alexis : well , finally they have something in common . emily : will there be enough money to send the girls to college ? [ alexis sighs ] alexis : i obviously had planned to send kristina to college myself , but it was very generous of nikolas to provide for her . he also left a trust to cover laura 's medical expenses so that she 'll be able to remain in her present facility . emily : that 's good . alexis : emily , you -- you bought him this house . i know he wants you to have it , and if you want it , it 's yours . i will do whatever -- emily : no , no , no , no , i do n't -- i do n't need money . if the quartermaines went bankrupt tomorrow , jason would give me anything i wanted . he has more money than he needs and he never spends it on anything anyway . yeah , i knew it would be him . alexis : excuse me ? emily : coming out of that hotel . they pulled all the firefighters out , and they said that -- they said anyone left in that building was dead . and i kept explaining that nikolas and jason were still in there , but no one would listen . and then i saw someone through the smoke . and i wanted it to be nikolas , but i knew -- even before courtney ran in , i knew that it was jason and that only one of them could live . when courtney ran in , he was holding her so tightly , and i was screaming inside because i knew that nikolas would never hold me again .

[ scene_break ] alexis : i 'm just going over some of nikolas ' papers . he never had a chance to change his will . emily : what does that mean ? alexis : it means that the cassadine estate -- or what 's ever left of it -- is being equally divided between kristina and lesley lu . emily : mm - hmm . luke and helena are both going to hate that . alexis : well , finally they have something in common . emily : will there be enough money to send the girls to college ? [ alexis sighs ] alexis : i obviously had planned to send kristina to college myself , but it was very generous of nikolas to provide for her . he also left a trust to cover laura 's medical expenses so that she 'll be able to remain in her present facility . emily : that 's good . alexis : emily , you -- you bought him this house . i know he wants you to have it , and if you want it , it 's yours . i will do whatever -- emily : no , no , no , no , i do n't -- i do n't need money . if the quartermaines went bankrupt tomorrow , jason would give me anything i wanted . he has more money than he needs and he never spends it on anything anyway . yeah , i knew it would be him . alexis : excuse me ? emily : coming out of that hotel . they pulled all the firefighters out , and they said that -- they said anyone left in that building was dead . and i kept explaining that nikolas and jason were still in there , but no one would listen . and then i saw someone through the smoke . and i wanted it to be nikolas , but i knew -- even before courtney ran in , i knew that it was jason and that only one of them could live . when courtney ran in , he was holding her so tightly , and i was screaming inside because i knew that nikolas would never hold me again .

neil : i knew you were n't my wife or my daughter . i can smell their perfumes . it 's gon na sound kind of strange , but when you walked in , i could tell by your shoes that you were a man . brian : that 's not strange at all . that 's impressive . you 're already using your other senses to help you figure things out . neil : yeah , well , i 'm kind of cheating . i work for jabot cosmetics , so i 'm trained to smell perfumes . brian : your professional expertise will come in handy . you do n't have to rely solely on that . i can teach you how to live a full life even though you ca n't see . neil : that 's really not necessary . brian : there are adjustments that you 're going to have to make now that you 're blind . neil : i 'm not blind . victoria : um , hi . i did n't realize you were there . stitch : you look like you have some important things to discuss . i 'll let you get back to your conversation . victoria : you heard . that i asked abby to be my labor coach . stitch : yeah , that -- that 's great , you know . i 'm glad you found somebody you can trust . victoria : you know , i could n't ask you and not ask billy . and having you both in the delivery room would just be , um ... stitch : interesting . and not in a good way . abby : more like a nightmare . victoria : it would n't be fair to be choosing between either of you , so i just -- i asked -- i asked abby . stitch : you do n't have to explain . i already told you , i want what 's best for you and the baby , and if that 's having abby as your coach , then she should be . victoria : okay . thank you for understanding . stitch : i 'd never do anything to hurt you , victoria . abby : ha ! after what you did ? never mind . i 'm sorry . i do n't want to upset you , either . victoria : um , okay , well , i , um , i have to go . i 'm gon na pick up johnny . i 'm gon na show him my new office . stitch : office ? abby : as in a job ? victoria : yes . i went back to work for dad . and before either of you says anything , no , it 's not adding to a stressful situation . in fact , it 's helping me forget a few stressful things in my life . abby : well , i am all for anything that does that . please give johnny a kiss for me . i 'm sure he 's excited to be a big brother . victoria : yes , he is . thank you . bye , ben . stitch : bye . abby : so , tell me -- how does a murderer get into a respectable club like this ? billy : so , let me guess . designer 's block ? chelsea : i was hoping a change of scenery would inspire me . billy : not so much , huh ? chelsea : i ca n't come up with a single design that i like for my upcoming line at forrester . billy : you creative types . you act like coming up with an original idea is so hard . chelsea : why do n't you try it sometime ? billy : no , i 'd rather critique other people 's work . it 's much more rewarding . chelsea : yeah . not to mention easier . billy : you know what you need ? chelsea : oh , i bet you 're gon na tell me . that 's what you executives excel at , hmm ? billy : seriously , you need to figure out what 's got you blocked , what 's holding you back . chelsea : let me think about it . i always love humoring a suit . uh , i do n't know . maybe it 's post - birthday party blues . maybe it 's the thought of facing connor 's next year without adam . billy : there 's your problem . you need to focus on the positive aspects of yesterday , you know , how -- how happy connor was and having friends and family around him with gifts . speaking of , has he had a chance to play with the soccer ball that grumpy grandpa gave him ? chelsea : nonstop . he 's obsessed with it . but i called victor to thank him for the ball , and he said it was n't from him . i guess it must be from jack . he 's the only one i have n't gotten a gift from yet . billy : no , that ca n't be it . i saw his gift on the hall table this morning . he said he wanted to deliver it to connor personally . chelsea : oh . well , now i 'm curious . connor loves soccer , and he loves that ball , so whoever sent it to him knows exactly what to get him . wonder who it was . sharon : is there a problem at the club ? nick : no , everything 's fine there . uh , do you want some ? sharon : no thanks . are you sure you 're okay ? because you did n't sleep that well last night , and then you got up early this morning . nick : sorry . i hope i did n't keep you awake . sharon : you did n't . but if there 's something on your mind , i wish you 'd tell me . nick : you do n't need to worry about it . i 'm gon na figure it out . sharon : maybe i can help . nick : it 's okay . i got this . sharon : if there were something , though , you would tell me , right ? nick : absolutely . sharon : i got to go to a meeting . gon na be home kind of late . nick : okay . sharon : okay . nick : bye . sharon : bye .

devon : when the time is right , that 's when we 'll tell neil about us . hilary : no , he should hear it from me . i 'm the one who 's gon na break his heart . devon : i 'm just as much to blame . and i hate lying to him . especially now . hilary : devon ... he 's gon na get his sight back . devon : i know i keep saying that we need to stay positive . but what if he does n't ? hilary : i do n't know . you 're neil winters ' family , right ? devon : yes , we are . you must be his daughter . we 're all taking really good care of your dad . you 're lucky you have such a loving husband to support you . stitch : well , you certainly live up to the hype . abby : oh , saying what everyone else is thinking ? stitch : speaking before you think . abby : hmm , beats plotting a murder and then going through with it . stitch : you know , i do n't owe you any explanation . but what happened with my father was n't premeditated . abby : oh , so it was more like , `` oops , i slipped and killed daddy ? `` that kind of thing ? stitch : i 've paid my dues here , which means i have , you know , full access to the club , as well as the swimming pool . if you have a problem with that , maybe you can feel free to go someplace else . abby : why do n't you go someplace else so i can focus on being victoria 's labor coach ? stitch : [ sighs ] you know , if , uh ... if vicki 's carrying my baby , that 'll be the second time that i miss the birth of my child . abby : it 's not surprising your wife did n't want you in the delivery room , either . stitch : i was deployed . abby : good use of your skills . stitch : even though i was deployed when my son was born , i still did a lot of research for jenna when i was in afghanistan . so many things i never thought about before i started reading all these articles and this literature . it 's -- it -- [ sighs ] look , if -- just make sure that vicki has plenty of ice . abby : i know . stitch : you know , if there 's a pillow that helps her get comfortable , you know , bring it to the hospital . and music -- music . you know , that can -- that can help a mother , too . abby : yeah , that 's what i said . stitch : i still have a list of songs i made for jenna . if you want , i - i ... i 'm sure you 've got everything under control . abby : you know what ?

abby : yeah , you know , you and my mom . stitch , ashley . stitch : [ chuckles ] stashley . all right . i get it . abby : i thought you 'd be good with her . stitch : but not with victoria ? abby : victoria 's meant to be with billy . i could never see her with anyone else . billy : well , look , maybe whoever gave connor the ball will call to see how he liked it . chelsea : i hope so . i 'd really like to thank them . billy : well , as long as the kid 's happy , that 's all that matters . i just wish i could make his mom smile . chelsea : [ sighs ] i just wish i could come up with some new designs . i 've never had this problem before . billy : i could be your sounding board or drawing board or whatever . chelsea : uh , the last time i asked you to critique my work , you were anything but helpful , so i think i 'll pass . thank you . billy : i have grown since then . professionally . i mean , i - i am the head of research and development at jabot , you know . chelsea : interim head . billy : i 'm doing the job ! pretty well , i might add . i mean , if you do n't believe me , you can just ask me . i will tell you how wonderful i am . chelsea : i have a feeling you will . mm - hmm . billy : seriously , though , working in cosmetics has opened me up artistically . in fact , right now , i 'm developing a line of eyeshadows for millennials . chelsea : really ? billy : yeah . silver -- wait for it -- with glitter . hey , you know , you could develop like a - a silvery glittery dress to go along with it . chelsea : i think that 's a little too space - age for me . billy : i 've got plenty more . this one 's top secret , but glow - in - the - dark eyeshadow . chelsea : for vampires ? billy : you wait . it 's gon na be all the rage . you 're gon na be kicking yourself that you did n't develop a neon dress to match it . chelsea : no , i wo n't . billy : yeah , i 've got some ideas what it could look like . let me show you . chelsea : you 're not drawing on my -- i 'm the artistic one . billy : you are in my personal space , so -- chelsea : you 're in my personal space .

it 's just a ring ? i mean , honey , our relationship is so much more solid than that . hilary : i know how much this ring means to you . neil : well , yeah , but it symbolizes our love . at the end of the day , it 's just a ring . hilary : i was afraid that if you did n't see it on my finger , you 'd be hurt , and , god , that 's the last thing that i want . neil : that 's very sweet of you . devon : it 's all good , though , because she called a plumber , and he was able to open the pipe , and he found the ring , so it 's back on her finger right where it belongs . neil : well , i 'm very glad about that . here . give me your hand . you should n't feel afraid to tell me something like that , ever . hilary : i should have known that you 'd forgive me . neil : there 's nothing ... that you could do that i would n't forgive . abby : how long have you been stuffing down that nasty anger ?

billy : seriously , you need to figure out what 's got you blocked , what 's holding you back . chelsea : let me think about it . i always love humoring a suit . uh , i do n't know . maybe it 's post - birthday party blues . maybe it 's the thought of facing connor 's next year without adam . billy : there 's your problem . you need to focus on the positive aspects of yesterday , you know , how -- how happy connor was and having friends and family around him with gifts . speaking of , has he had a chance to play with the soccer ball that grumpy grandpa gave him ? chelsea : nonstop . he 's obsessed with it . but i called victor to thank him for the ball , and he said it was n't from him . i guess it must be from jack . he 's the only one i have n't gotten a gift from yet . billy : no , that ca n't be it . i saw his gift on the hall table this morning . he said he wanted to deliver it to connor personally . chelsea : oh . well , now i 'm curious . connor loves soccer , and he loves that ball , so whoever sent it to him knows exactly what to get him . wonder who it was . sharon : is there a problem at the club ? nick : no , everything 's fine there . uh , do you want some ? sharon : no thanks . are you sure you 're okay ? because you did n't sleep that well last night , and then you got up early this morning . nick : sorry . i hope i did n't keep you awake . sharon : you did n't . but if there 's something on your mind , i wish you 'd tell me . nick : you do n't need to worry about it . i 'm gon na figure it out . sharon : maybe i can help . nick : it 's okay . i got this . sharon : if there were something , though , you would tell me , right ?

stitch : speaking before you think . abby : hmm , beats plotting a murder and then going through with it . stitch : you know , i do n't owe you any explanation . but what happened with my father was n't premeditated . abby : oh , so it was more like , `` oops , i slipped and killed daddy ? `` that kind of thing ? stitch : i 've paid my dues here , which means i have , you know , full access to the club , as well as the swimming pool . if you have a problem with that , maybe you can feel free to go someplace else . abby : why do n't you go someplace else so i can focus on being victoria 's labor coach ?

[ scene_break ] victor : sometimes i wondered if i 'd made a mistake . i wondered if the day would come that he and i would meet each other as father and son , and that the truth would come out . i never thought that would happen because hope was dying of cancer . [ victor remembering ] hope : i regret that i never told our son all these years that you were his father . i 'm so sorry . i just wanted something different for him . i wanted him to be a normal person , to grow up in a simple home with the right values . victor : you gave him more than that . you gave him love . hope : but i deprived you of him in your life , all those years of watching him grow up and his childhood ... i 'm so sorry . tell me that you agree with me , victor , that we should tell our son the truth . [ scene_break ] victor : ( sighs ) i did agree , and that decision changed our lives . nikki : you 've never really talked about that day when hope passed away . victor : to have to sit there and watch her suffer ... all i could think about is how i 'd be able to save her -- nothing i could do . and then i thought about our boy , how he would take the news of his mother dying . [ victor remembering ] hope : i asked victor to be here today , honey , because you -- you need to ... ( sighs ) you deserve to know the truth . victor and i -- we were married a long time ago . he 's your father . adam : ( sighs ) mom , you 're not making any sense . my father 's dead . hope : no . cliff wilson is dead , and he loved you like a son . but he was not your biological father , honey . victor is . adam : ( breathing rapidly ) wha ... okay . okay , i know -- i know what you 're doing , mom . ( sighs ) you 're afraid of leaving me alone . but it 's okay . you do n't have to do this . hope : i do n't have much time , sweetheart , and there are only two things i can leave you with that really matter -- my love for you , which will go on and on ... and the truth ... the truth . [ scene_break ] nikki : adam could n't accept it . victor : i did n't expect him to . he was in shock . nikki : and then all of a sudden , there 's the father he never knew existed . victor : yeah . [ victor remembering ] hope : it was my decision to keep victor away from you . i forced him out of your life . adam : you 've already told me that . hope : do n't you see how easily he could have taken you away from me legally with ... me being blind and his money and power ? adam : he probably did n't want me . victor : that is not true . hope : it 's not true , and i was wrong to think you would be all right without him in your life . your father ... adam : mom .

( sighs ) [ scene_break ] victor : `` take care of each other '' -- it 's the last words she ever spoke , and i promised her that i 'd do it . nikki : yeah , well , adam did n't . victor : he had a hard time with his mother 's death . he was overwhelmed . but i told him that i 'd be there for him if he needed me . [ victor remembering ] adam : how could you leave me like this , mom ? ( sighs ) what am i supposed to do now ? i hardly know who i am without you .

[ scene_break ] victor : adam was utterly lost that day . i was praying that he would come around eventually . if i 'd only known then what i know now . nikki : well , do n't forget , after hope 's funeral , you did offer adam a job . [ victor remembering ] adam : i did n't come here to bond with you or make up for lost time . victor : so you 're not looking for a father . adam : just a career move . victor : then tomorrow morning , i 'll gather the staff and you can meet senior management . adam : okay . uh , before you do that , you should know that i will be changing my name . victor : oh . to what ? adam : i 'm gon na be using my middle name adam and my father 's last name wilson ... victor : ah . adam : the only father i ever knew . victor : i do understand . ( purses lips ) i hope , though , that in ... months or years to come , you will take on the name newman with pride . adam : ( sighs ) [ scene_break ] victor : in that moment , i believed that he would come around . but i should have listened to him . he told me in blunt terms what he wanted , and it was n't his family . nikki : nicholas and victoria knew right from the beginning that adam was n't interested in them as siblings . i think he viewed them more as obstacles , people he would have to compete with . victor : and i think he always felt cheated once he realized how they had grown up , although he denied it . nikki : the first of a long string of lies . i tell you , when we thought you were dead in mexico , that 's when adam started showing his true colors . victor : and when i came back , i dealt with it . [ nikki remembering ] heather : victor ... adam ... adam : mm . heather : newman . mm . adam : victor . nikki : adam stirred up so much trouble . victor : he ran roughshod over my business , not just at home . while i was gone , did neil winters keep the company on track ? michael : until your will was read . victor : what do you mean by that ? michael : as you know , you gave newman to adam . his first orders of business were to fire victoria and neil . [ scene_break ] victor : i was so angry with nicholas and victoria , i handed the keys to the kingdom to adam . nikki : yes , but when you realized your mistake , you did take action . [ victor remembering ] victor : ( sighs ) you can tell a great deal about a man by what he does when he thinks no one is watching . the way you treated not only neil , but nicholas and victoria and even zapato speaks volumes about your character , son . i 'm very disappointed in you , and you ought to be ashamed of yourself . i 'm very glad your mother is n't around to see what has become of you . adam : victor ... dad , please -- victor : i not only want you out of my business , i want you out of this house . [ scene_break ] victor : i did n't know what he would do in retaliation , nor did i care . nikki : was n't that the same time when he joined forces with jack to get back at you ? victor : yeah , when they concocted that diary . mm - hmm . he was so full of bitterness and so arrogant , he turned out to be the perfect patsy . [ victor remembering ] adam : from the minute i got here , your family has treated me like dirt . now i 'm fine with that , okay ? i can take it . but you ... you playing the loving father and then turning on me ... you ruined my life . you did n't just take newman . you laid waste to everything -- my whole life i had scraped together to build , no thanks to you . who the hell are you to do that ? [ scene_break ] victor : and he was smug as hell . i remember him enjoying watching me suffer . nikki : until the tables were turned . was n't it ironic that you were released and he was put in prison for framing you ? victor : and i told him that he would have to do his penance not realizing that that would include inheriting the disease that blinded his mother . [ scene_break ] [ victor remembering ] victor : i 've been afraid of this since before you were born . adam : i grew up knowing this could happen , but that 's ... that 's a lot different than actually believing it . victor : i really am sorry , son . adam : what am i gon na do in here , dad ? how am i gon na survive ? [ scene_break ] victor : he was terrified , utterly helpless , and he 's my son . how could i turn my back on him ? nikki : i suppose you could n't have , but i was shocked when you brought him home . victor : and i thought he would appreciate what i had done . i really thought that ... and that was a fatal error . nikki : you can not blame yourself . adam had a lot of people fooled . victor : he certainly did . i thought things would turn around . instead , they were going straight to hell . [ victor remembering ] nick : ( grunts ) i 've been waiting for this . adam : ( grunts ) nick : ( grunts ) ( office door slams shut ) victor : what the hell is going on here ? adam : ( breathing heavily ) [ scene_break ] victor : they could n't be in the same room without nicholas wanting to beat the crap out of him . nikki : well , being in love with the same woman did n't help . victor : yeah , i was trying to get through to adam in spite of all of that , but he would n't hear any of it . nikki : i 'm just grateful that we were able to put the pieces together and figure out all of the deceitful things that adam did , starting with ashley . what he did to her , it was sick . victor : even then , adam could have redeemed himself in my eyes if he had just been honest when i questioned him . [ victor remembering ] victor : my mind is open , adam . if the accusations against you are true , and you admit to your guilt , there 's always room for forgiveness . adam : i do n't know why we have to be going into this . victor : i 'm giving you a chance to come forth with some honest answers . adam : i 've been giving honest answers to nick and phyllis and ashley over and over , and i 've told them to come to me with some kind of proof that i 'm lying , and they have n't been able to substantiate anything . victor : ( sighs ) then either you 're innocent , or you 're very , very devious . [ scene_break ] victor : he was lying , of course , and hiding so much more . so we had to confront him , get the truth out of him one way or the other . [ victor remembering ] adam : what 's going on ? did you set me up ? victor : you 're in that chair because of your duplicity and lies . that 's about to end . [ scene_break ] victor : he , of course , denied doing anything wrong , denied it over and over again . nikki : even after phyllis showed up with the final piece of the puzzle . victor : ( sighs ) i do n't think any of us were prepared to learn what we learned . [ victor remembering ] phyllis : `` mrs. newman , i may not have much time left . i need you to know the truth . you had a miscarriage . you were not pregnant . after you lost the baby , your mind could n't accept it . you suffered an hysterical pregnancy . you never gave birth . i 'm so sorry i could n't tell you before . adam blackmailed me even to the end to convince you that you 'd had the baby . so much more to tell , but no time . eternal regret . `` ( sighs ) `` may god forgive me . charles taylor . `` [ scene_break ] victor : i could have killed that boy right then and there .

[ scene_break ] victor : it just did n't seem real that ashley had lost her baby , the baby i thought was hers and mine . turned out , it belonged to ... nicholas and sharon . imagine that . only a man without a soul could have done that . [ victor remembering ] victor : when your beautiful mother took you away from me and took you back to the farm in kansas , i was saddened for a while . but i thought it would be a good idea to be raised on a farm , not here , not the spoiled son of a rich man . i honestly thought that hope would do a hell of a job with you because she was just an essentially good woman . now look what happened . the damage you have done to people -- what you have done to ashley , what you have done to sharon , what you tried to do to me . [ scene_break ] victor : i 've heard people say that some -- some kids are just born evil . i never wanted to believe it . i remember holding the little boy in my arms , those big , innocent eyes looking at me . i would have given the world to him . and now i want nothing to do with him . ( telephone rings ) victor : yes ? oh , okay . thank you . yep . thank you . ( sighs heavily ) court is reconvening . judge anderson is about to announce her ruling . [ scene_break ] judge anderson : let 's begin . billy : ( clears throat ) judge anderson : my task was to decide whether there is sufficient evidence to hold adam newman over for trial on a litany of charges -- criminal conspiracy , fraud , kidnapping , an accessory to the murder of richard hightower . there were issues with both counsel and witnesses which taint the case against the defendant . mr. pomerantz had conflicts of interest to contend with both inside his own office as well as in the public defender 's office . because the law required that much of the state 's evidence be excluded , this case hinged on witness testimony . it was claimed that adam newman waged a campaign of terror against ashley abbott as a means of revenge against her husband victor newman , the father he 'd grown to resent . ms. abbott 's psychological state at the time of the alleged assaults casts doubt on her story . the witness has a long history of mental instability . her uncorroborated testimony and retrieved memories only served to underscore the court 's questions about their veracity . victor newman testified about an ungrateful son who committed fraud and betrayed his family . however , many of his statements were unsubstantiated , and the court believes that mr. newman 's testimony was shaded by his own bitter disappointment as a father . certain other accusations appeared to be specious . for instance , abby newman told of finding hidden surveillance equipment that adam newman allegedly planted throughout the newman residence , but adam was living there at the time of the discovery , and therefore no crime was committed . further , there is no forensic evidence that linked adam to the bugs that were found , including one in his own private quarters . jack abbott claimed that he and his brother william were so concerned for their sister 's safety that they were desperate to rescue her from the newman ranch where they felt ashley had fallen under adam 's control . these allegations are unsupported . furthermore , jack abbott 's concerns are tainted by strong and persistent rumors of his own complicity with adam in the creation of a forged diary . finally , nicholas newman testified that both he and his sister victoria shared their father 's harsh assessment of adam , but the court again ca n't help wondering whether adam was n't more a threat to their shares of the newman empire than to the family itself , and in nicholas ' case , a threat to his relationship with his ex - wife sharon . sharon newman 's testimony about adam 's alleged confession might have carried great weight in my decision , but without corroborating evidence , the court must consider the possibility that her decision to come forward and testify for the prosecution might suggest acrimony over a marriage that was ultimately annulled . the real victim in this case is in the courtroom today . an innocent man , richard hightower , is dead , and a young boy is without his father . billy : ( clears throat ) judge anderson : unfortunately , the court ca n't offer them any justice , because it is my decision that the district attorney has not sustained his burden . accordingly , the entire case against adam newman is dismissed without prejudice . ( bangs gavel ) people : ( gasp ) vance : congratulations , pal . you 're free . adam : thank you . skye : congratulations , baby . owen : ( sighs ) victor : what the hell just happened ? jack : a kidnapper , a murderer , is going to walk because of your incompetence . owen : look , i did the best that i could . having a bunch of vengeful witnesses did n't help . victor : even when he loses , he 's pompous . do me a favor -- tell everyone to come to the ranch as soon as possible , all right ? jack : okay . victor : kindly spread the word . vance : how 's it feel to be a free man again ? adam : pretty surreal . skye : thank you so much , vance , for everything . you 're worth every dime . vance : remember that when you get my bill . justin : why 'd you kill my dad ? what 'd he ever do to you ? sally : come away from that man , honey . he 's not a person you want to be anywhere near . jack : i do n't care what any judge says . we are not going to let this stand . abby : yeah , that freak has to pay for what he 's done . jack : listen , victor wants us all to meet out at the ranch . billy : and you 're going ? jack : i 'm kinda curious what he has in mind . sharon : what , are you here to criticize me some more ? nick : i know i 've been pretty harsh with you about adam . but i appreciate you testifying . without you , we never would have even had a chance . sharon : i guess it was n't enough . victor : i just want to tell you how sorry i am , okay ? about you losing your dad . i , too , grew up without having a father -- very lonely sometimes . i just want you to know if you ever need someone to talk to , you call me , all right ? ma'am ? kindly call me . i want to make sure that your nephew grows up without any financial worries . sally : ( chuckles ) i 've never heard of anything so kind and generous in my life . what can i say but thank you ? both of you . we 'll never forget this , will we , justin ? victor : i know that it 's going to be very hard for you , but remember , you 're not alone . justin : thank you , mr. newman . victor : you take care of yourself . victor : how are you feeling ? ashley : i had to relive the most gut - wrenching moments of my life , and for what ? adam : i 'm sure you all have plenty you 'd like to say to me . go ahead . i can take whatever you got . billy : ( chuckles ) [ scene_break ] victor : thank you all for coming . i know this has been an extremely difficult day , to say the least . and we all rightfully have feelings of vengeance and wanting to lash out at adam . i ask you all to do the opposite . let go of it . put it behind you . ashley : so are you actually saying you want us just to forget everything he 's done to us ? victor : if we allow adam to disrupt our lives any more than he already has , if we allow him to goad us into feelings of anger and retaliation , of hatred , he wins . he triumphs . he thrives on creating chaos . so ignore him as if he never existed . put him out of your mind , and we will win . [ scene_break ] skye : i do n't get it , adam . you just said a big `` screw you `` to every one of those jerks who tried to take you down , so what 's up with the crappy mood ? adam : you would n't understand , skye . skye : obviously not . adam : maybe we should reconsider things . skye : if by `` things , `` you mean our marriage , no way . we have an arrangement , adam -- your name , my money , and you 're not backin ' out of that . when i come back , i will have champagne , and we are damn well gon na drink it . adam : ( sighs ) adam : ( sighs ) [ adam remembering ] hope : getting all ready ? adam : well , i do n't want to be late , ma . hope : ( sighs ) i just wish you could have stayed longer , honey . adam : i know . i know . i know . i just -- i got ta get there and get settled into my new place before my job starts . hope : oh , yes , that big job on wall street you 've always wanted .

[ victor remembering ] adam : i think i remember meeting you . victor : yeah , a long time ago . adam : you gave me boxing gloves . victor : you remember that ? adam : and your name -- it 's victor , just like mine . victor : yeah , just like yours . adam : how do you know my mom ? victor : well , i met her on the farm . i used to work for her . [ scene_break ] victor : sometimes i wondered if i 'd made a mistake . i wondered if the day would come that he and i would meet each other as father and son , and that the truth would come out . i never thought that would happen because hope was dying of cancer . [ victor remembering ] hope : i regret that i never told our son all these years that you were his father . i 'm so sorry . i just wanted something different for him . i wanted him to be a normal person , to grow up in a simple home with the right values . victor : you gave him more than that . you gave him love . hope : but i deprived you of him in your life , all those years of watching him grow up and his childhood ... i 'm so sorry . tell me that you agree with me , victor , that we should tell our son the truth . [ scene_break ] victor : ( sighs ) i did agree , and that decision changed our lives . nikki : you 've never really talked about that day when hope passed away . victor : to have to sit there and watch her suffer ... all i could think about is how i 'd be able to save her -- nothing i could do . and then i thought about our boy , how he would take the news of his mother dying . [ victor remembering ] hope : i asked victor to be here today , honey , because you -- you need to ... ( sighs ) you deserve to know the truth . victor and i -- we were married a long time ago . he 's your father . adam : ( sighs ) mom , you 're not making any sense . my father 's dead . hope : no . cliff wilson is dead , and he loved you like a son . but he was not your biological father , honey . victor is . adam : ( breathing rapidly ) wha ... okay . okay , i know -- i know what you 're doing , mom . ( sighs ) you 're afraid of leaving me alone . but it 's okay . you do n't have to do this . hope : i do n't have much time , sweetheart , and there are only two things i can leave you with that really matter -- my love for you , which will go on and on ... and the truth ... the truth . [ scene_break ] nikki : adam could n't accept it . victor : i did n't expect him to . he was in shock . nikki : and then all of a sudden , there 's the father he never knew existed . victor : yeah . [ victor remembering ] hope : it was my decision to keep victor away from you . i forced him out of your life . adam : you 've already told me that . hope : do n't you see how easily he could have taken you away from me legally with ... me being blind and his money and power ? adam : he probably did n't want me . victor : that is not true . hope : it 's not true , and i was wrong to think you would be all right without him in your life . your father ... adam : mom . ( stammers ) hope : no . this is my ... my final ... my only wish -- the two of you together . i have loved you both ... with everything that i am . ( sighs ) take care of each other ... for me ... for me . ( sighs ) [ scene_break ] victor : `` take care of each other '' -- it 's the last words she ever spoke , and i promised her that i 'd do it . nikki : yeah , well , adam did n't . victor : he had a hard time with his mother 's death . he was overwhelmed . but i told him that i 'd be there for him if he needed me . [ victor remembering ] adam : how could you leave me like this , mom ? ( sighs ) what am i supposed to do now ? i hardly know who i am without you . ( breathing rapidly ) adam : ( gasps ) adam : that was my mother . you ... you are nothing to me . victor : i have n't been your father , but i would like to be . [ scene_break ] victor : adam was utterly lost that day . i was praying that he would come around eventually . if i 'd only known then what i know now . nikki : well , do n't forget , after hope 's funeral , you did offer adam a job . [ victor remembering ] adam : i did n't come here to bond with you or make up for lost time . victor : so you 're not looking for a father . adam : just a career move . victor : then tomorrow morning , i 'll gather the staff and you can meet senior management . adam : okay . uh , before you do that , you should know that i will be changing my name . victor : oh . to what ? adam : i 'm gon na be using my middle name adam and my father 's last name wilson ... victor : ah . adam : the only father i ever knew . victor : i do understand . ( purses lips ) i hope , though , that in ... months or years to come , you will take on the name newman with pride . adam : ( sighs ) [ scene_break ] victor : in that moment , i believed that he would come around . but i should have listened to him . he told me in blunt terms what he wanted , and it was n't his family . nikki : nicholas and victoria knew right from the beginning that adam was n't interested in them as siblings . i think he viewed them more as obstacles , people he would have to compete with . victor : and i think he always felt cheated once he realized how they had grown up , although he denied it . nikki : the first of a long string of lies . i tell you , when we thought you were dead in mexico , that 's when adam started showing his true colors . victor : and when i came back , i dealt with it . [ nikki remembering ] heather : victor ... adam ... adam : mm . heather : newman . mm . adam : victor . nikki : adam stirred up so much trouble . victor : he ran roughshod over my business , not just at home . while i was gone , did neil winters keep the company on track ? michael : until your will was read . victor : what do you mean by that ? michael : as you know , you gave newman to adam . his first orders of business were to fire victoria and neil . [ scene_break ] victor : i was so angry with nicholas and victoria , i handed the keys to the kingdom to adam . nikki : yes , but when you realized your mistake , you did take action . [ victor remembering ] victor : ( sighs ) you can tell a great deal about a man by what he does when he thinks no one is watching . the way you treated not only neil , but nicholas and victoria and even zapato speaks volumes about your character , son . i 'm very disappointed in you , and you ought to be ashamed of yourself . i 'm very glad your mother is n't around to see what has become of you . adam : victor ... dad , please -- victor : i not only want you out of my business , i want you out of this house . [ scene_break ] victor : i did n't know what he would do in retaliation , nor did i care . nikki : was n't that the same time when he joined forces with jack to get back at you ? victor : yeah , when they concocted that diary . mm - hmm . he was so full of bitterness and so arrogant , he turned out to be the perfect patsy . [ victor remembering ] adam : from the minute i got here , your family has treated me like dirt . now i 'm fine with that , okay ? i can take it . but you ... you playing the loving father and then turning on me ... you ruined my life . you did n't just take newman . you laid waste to everything -- my whole life i had scraped together to build , no thanks to you . who the hell are you to do that ? [ scene_break ] victor : and he was smug as hell . i remember him enjoying watching me suffer . nikki : until the tables were turned . was n't it ironic that you were released and he was put in prison for framing you ? victor : and i told him that he would have to do his penance not realizing that that would include inheriting the disease that blinded his mother . [ scene_break ] [ victor remembering ] victor : i 've been afraid of this since before you were born . adam : i grew up knowing this could happen , but that 's ... that 's a lot different than actually believing it . victor : i really am sorry , son . adam : what am i gon na do in here , dad ? how am i gon na survive ? [ scene_break ] victor : he was terrified , utterly helpless , and he 's my son . how could i turn my back on him ? nikki : i suppose you could n't have , but i was shocked when you brought him home . victor : and i thought he would appreciate what i had done . i really thought that ... and that was a fatal error . nikki : you can not blame yourself . adam had a lot of people fooled . victor : he certainly did . i thought things would turn around . instead , they were going straight to hell . [ victor remembering ] nick : ( grunts ) i 've been waiting for this . adam : ( grunts ) nick : ( grunts ) ( office door slams shut ) victor : what the hell is going on here ? adam : ( breathing heavily ) [ scene_break ] victor : they could n't be in the same room without nicholas wanting to beat the crap out of him . nikki : well , being in love with the same woman did n't help . victor : yeah , i was trying to get through to adam in spite of all of that , but he would n't hear any of it . nikki : i 'm just grateful that we were able to put the pieces together and figure out all of the deceitful things that adam did , starting with ashley . what he did to her , it was sick . victor : even then , adam could have redeemed himself in my eyes if he had just been honest when i questioned him . [ victor remembering ] victor : my mind is open , adam . if the accusations against you are true , and you admit to your guilt , there 's always room for forgiveness . adam : i do n't know why we have to be going into this . victor : i 'm giving you a chance to come forth with some honest answers . adam : i 've been giving honest answers to nick and phyllis and ashley over and over , and i 've told them to come to me with some kind of proof that i 'm lying , and they have n't been able to substantiate anything . victor : ( sighs ) then either you 're innocent , or you 're very , very devious . [ scene_break ] victor : he was lying , of course , and hiding so much more . so we had to confront him , get the truth out of him one way or the other . [ victor remembering ] adam : what 's going on ? did you set me up ? victor : you 're in that chair because of your duplicity and lies . that 's about to end . [ scene_break ] victor : he , of course , denied doing anything wrong , denied it over and over again . nikki : even after phyllis showed up with the final piece of the puzzle . victor : ( sighs ) i do n't think any of us were prepared to learn what we learned . [ victor remembering ] phyllis : `` mrs. newman , i may not have much time left . i need you to know the truth . you had a miscarriage . you were not pregnant . after you lost the baby , your mind could n't accept it . you suffered an hysterical pregnancy . you never gave birth . i 'm so sorry i could n't tell you before . adam blackmailed me even to the end to convince you that you 'd had the baby . so much more to tell , but no time . eternal regret . `` ( sighs ) `` may god forgive me . charles taylor . `` [ scene_break ] victor : i could have killed that boy right then and there . [ scene_break ] victor : now you tell me the truth . adam : ( grunts ) victor : tell me the truth . you tell me the truth ! jack : victor . victor . not yet . not yet . adam : he lied ! dr. taylor -- how can i confront him ? he 's not even here . nikki : enough ! stop ! nick : sit down right now and shut your mouth , or i am not gon na stop him next time . i 'll help him . [ scene_break ] victor : it just did n't seem real that ashley had lost her baby , the baby i thought was hers and mine . turned out , it belonged to ... nicholas and sharon . imagine that . only a man without a soul could have done that . [ victor remembering ] victor : when your beautiful mother took you away from me and took you back to the farm in kansas , i was saddened for a while . but i thought it would be a good idea to be raised on a farm , not here , not the spoiled son of a rich man . i honestly thought that hope would do a hell of a job with you because she was just an essentially good woman . now look what happened . the damage you have done to people -- what you have done to ashley , what you have done to sharon , what you tried to do to me . [ scene_break ] victor : i 've heard people say that some -- some kids are just born evil . i never wanted to believe it . i remember holding the little boy in my arms , those big , innocent eyes looking at me . i would have given the world to him . and now i want nothing to do with him . ( telephone rings ) victor : yes ? oh , okay . thank you . yep . thank you . ( sighs heavily ) court is reconvening . judge anderson is about to announce her ruling . [ scene_break ] judge anderson : let 's begin . billy : ( clears throat ) judge anderson : my task was to decide whether there is sufficient evidence to hold adam newman over for trial on a litany of charges -- criminal conspiracy , fraud , kidnapping , an accessory to the murder of richard hightower . there were issues with both counsel and witnesses which taint the case against the defendant . mr. pomerantz had conflicts of interest to contend with both inside his own office as well as in the public defender 's office . because the law required that much of the state 's evidence be excluded , this case hinged on witness testimony . it was claimed that adam newman waged a campaign of terror against ashley abbott as a means of revenge against her husband victor newman , the father he 'd grown to resent . ms. abbott 's psychological state at the time of the alleged assaults casts doubt on her story . the witness has a long history of mental instability . her uncorroborated testimony and retrieved memories only served to underscore the court 's questions about their veracity . victor newman testified about an ungrateful son who committed fraud and betrayed his family . however , many of his statements were unsubstantiated , and the court believes that mr. newman 's testimony was shaded by his own bitter disappointment as a father . certain other accusations appeared to be specious . for instance , abby newman told of finding hidden surveillance equipment that adam newman allegedly planted throughout the newman residence , but adam was living there at the time of the discovery , and therefore no crime was committed . further , there is no forensic evidence that linked adam to the bugs that were found , including one in his own private quarters . jack abbott claimed that he and his brother william were so concerned for their sister 's safety that they were desperate to rescue her from the newman ranch where they felt ashley had fallen under adam 's control . these allegations are unsupported . furthermore , jack abbott 's concerns are tainted by strong and persistent rumors of his own complicity with adam in the creation of a forged diary . finally , nicholas newman testified that both he and his sister victoria shared their father 's harsh assessment of adam , but the court again ca n't help wondering whether adam was n't more a threat to their shares of the newman empire than to the family itself , and in nicholas ' case , a threat to his relationship with his ex - wife sharon . sharon newman 's testimony about adam 's alleged confession might have carried great weight in my decision , but without corroborating evidence , the court must consider the possibility that her decision to come forward and testify for the prosecution might suggest acrimony over a marriage that was ultimately annulled . the real victim in this case is in the courtroom today . an innocent man , richard hightower , is dead , and a young boy is without his father . billy : ( clears throat ) judge anderson : unfortunately , the court ca n't offer them any justice , because it is my decision that the district attorney has not sustained his burden . accordingly , the entire case against adam newman is dismissed without prejudice . ( bangs gavel ) people : ( gasp ) vance : congratulations , pal . you 're free . adam : thank you . skye : congratulations , baby . owen : ( sighs ) victor : what the hell just happened ? jack : a kidnapper , a murderer , is going to walk because of your incompetence . owen : look , i did the best that i could . having a bunch of vengeful witnesses did n't help . victor : even when he loses , he 's pompous . do me a favor -- tell everyone to come to the ranch as soon as possible , all right ? jack : okay . victor : kindly spread the word . vance : how 's it feel to be a free man again ? adam : pretty surreal . skye : thank you so much , vance , for everything . you 're worth every dime . vance : remember that when you get my bill . justin : why 'd you kill my dad ? what 'd he ever do to you ? sally : come away from that man , honey . he 's not a person you want to be anywhere near . jack : i do n't care what any judge says . we are not going to let this stand . abby : yeah , that freak has to pay for what he 's done . jack : listen , victor wants us all to meet out at the ranch . billy : and you 're going ? jack : i 'm kinda curious what he has in mind . sharon : what , are you here to criticize me some more ? nick : i know i 've been pretty harsh with you about adam . but i appreciate you testifying . without you , we never would have even had a chance . sharon : i guess it was n't enough . victor : i just want to tell you how sorry i am , okay ? about you losing your dad . i , too , grew up without having a father -- very lonely sometimes . i just want you to know if you ever need someone to talk to , you call me , all right ? ma'am ? kindly call me . i want to make sure that your nephew grows up without any financial worries . sally : ( chuckles ) i 've never heard of anything so kind and generous in my life . what can i say but thank you ? both of you . we 'll never forget this , will we , justin ? victor : i know that it 's going to be very hard for you , but remember , you 're not alone . justin : thank you , mr. newman . victor : you take care of yourself . victor : how are you feeling ? ashley : i had to relive the most gut - wrenching moments of my life , and for what ? adam : i 'm sure you all have plenty you 'd like to say to me . go ahead . i can take whatever you got . billy : ( chuckles ) [ scene_break ] victor : thank you all for coming . i know this has been an extremely difficult day , to say the least . and we all rightfully have feelings of vengeance and wanting to lash out at adam . i ask you all to do the opposite . let go of it . put it behind you . ashley : so are you actually saying you want us just to forget everything he 's done to us ? victor : if we allow adam to disrupt our lives any more than he already has , if we allow him to goad us into feelings of anger and retaliation , of hatred , he wins . he triumphs . he thrives on creating chaos . so ignore him as if he never existed . put him out of your mind , and we will win .

[ scene_break ] victor : adam must pay for his crimes , and he will , but not in our hands -- at his own . the crimes he committed against all of us will weigh so heavily on his shoulders , he will carry those sins for the rest of his life . he will never be a free man .

am i dangerous ? john : that 's not fair . it 's not the same . marlena : well , the twins are not dangerous , either , john . they 're human beings . they need love , and they deserve love . and i will not stand here and let you go through this kind of hypocrisy . john : hey , i am not a hypocrite . yeah , i made it to the other side . i became a husband and a father that i 'm damn proud of . but when i was under stefano 's control , i hurt people that i love , and it 's going to be a dark day in hell before i let those twins hurt you and belle just because -- because i have a little compassion for them . marlena : do you ?

zoey : sonny kiriakis , can i ask where you 're going ? sonny : inside . jordan ridgway 's murderer is about to go on trial and i 'm testifying against evan -- or christian maddox . zoey : hmm . i would n't do that if i were you . eli : what the hell are you thinking , lani ? helping kristen escape , you 're gon na get in so much trouble for this . rafe : what 's wrong ? is it about kristen ? kristen : why else would rex be calling me ? he knows that sarah and rachel are in paris . that 's -- that 's got to be it . lani : it 's a good theory , i guess . kristen : it is more than a theory . this is the break i have been praying for . and when we find rex , we will find sarah , and then we 'll be able to bring my daughter home . rex : how is maggie responsible for your baby 's death ? sarah : i was in labor . adrienne was driving me to the hospital . my mom is the one that ran us off the road . she had been drinking . rex : i know , that -- that 's what she 's in prison for ... oh , my god . she did n't just kill adrienne , did she ? sarah : she killed my baby , too . maggie : if that baby 's alive , where is she ? where is she ? xander : with sarah . it was n't brady and kristen 's baby that died that night . maggie : no . xander : it was sarah 's . maggie : no . that does n't make any sense . mickey is n't dead . mickey 's a beautiful little girl who battled so hard to beat cancer . i miss her so much . but the time i had with her was such a blessing . xander : i love her , too , maggie . maggie : i miss her every day . but i know she has a good life with sarah 'cause sarah 's a wonderful mother . xander : she is , but she 's not that baby 's mother . maggie : how can you say such horrible things ? mickey -- she faced down death and she survived . and she 's getting healthier every day , thanks to sarah 's love and her care . xander : that little girl that sarah brought home from the hospital did beat cancer , and sarah was there with her every step of the way . the baby was never hers . the little girl that eric and sarah thought that was their own was really kristen 's daughter , rachel . male announcer : like sands through the hourglass , so are the `` days of our lives . `` [ soft orchestration ] sonny : i 'm sorry , do i know you ? zoey : we have n't been properly introduced . i 'm zoey burge . sonny : christian 's sister ? zoey : that 's right . sonny : and you 're warning me not to testify because ? zoey : i 'm also his lawyer . so if you go up on that stand , i 'm gon na tear you to shreds . sonny : is that right ? zoey : mm - hmm . because you 're going to try to incriminate christian . sonny : well , he incriminated himself when he confessed to me and will . zoey : according to you . but it 's also my job to discredit you any way that i can , which means dredging up your sexual relationship you had with christian . in fact , i plan to expose every gory detail to the jury . sonny : go ahead . i have nothing to hide . zoey : no ? so you 're okay with your husband hearing every intimate detail about your extramarital relationship with christian ? because from what i hear , it was pretty hot and heavy . sonny : [ ahem ] will and i were separated at that time . he was in prison for a crime he did n't commit . zoey : oh , right , yes , it was actually your uncle 's wife that killed your mother . maggie : you 're saying that kristen is mickey 's mother ? xander : she is . but her name is rachel . maggie : that 's not possible . xander : i wish it were n't true . it breaks my heart to be here telling you this . maggie : but kristen and brady 's baby died at the hospital . xander : the baby that died that night was sarah 's . maggie : no ! xander : the two girls were switched in the nursery and sarah brought home the wrong baby . maggie : how do you know this ? xander : a dna test was run . i can show you the results . they -- they prove that mackenzie -- that rachel is really brady and kristen 's . maggie : oh , i ca n't believe this . how could the hospital make such a terrible mistake ? xander : these things happen , i guess . maggie : no , they don't . it 's not right . my daughter loves mickey . sarah 's been her mother from the day she was born . it 'll destroy her if that little girl is taken away from her . xander : i know . maggie : it 's wrong . it 's so wrong . i need to talk to justin -- xander : he knows about it . maggie : well , then , i hope he 's doing something about it because it 's unacceptable . and whoever on that hospital staff is to blame for this terrible mistake -- xander : it was n't a mistake , maggie ! maggie : what ? xander : the babies were switched on purpose . maggie : on purpose ? by who ? xander : by me . [ eerie off - key notes ] lani : okay , look , kristen , just calm down , okay ? kristen : calm down ? calm down ? no , this is the first lead that we 've had . lani : yes , it 's a lead . but we ca n't just sit here and assume that rex is helping sarah because she flew to london and he 's at a medical conference in paris . kristen : oh , my god , that 's just a big coincidence , huh ? lani : maybe it is . kristen : okay , you know what ? i believe that there is no medical conference in paris . i think that -- that rex made up that story so that he could leave the country and meet up with sarah . lani : they are not even together , so why would sarah reach out to him ? kristen : because sarah -- sarah 's smart and she needs someone to help her disappear again . and she hates xander for lying to her . and , you know , everyone else here in salem is just gon na track her down and try to get her back here . lani : okay . so if rex is helping sarah , why is he calling you ? rex : i know about the accident . like everyone else , i ... i was so relieved and grateful to hear that you ... you and your daughter were okay . sarah : except now everyone knows that mickey is n't my biological child . that xander switched kristen 's healthy baby with mine . rex : and you blame your mom for her death . sarah : of course i do . i do n't know what brady and kristen were told was the cause of death . i just -- when i was in labor on the side of the road , i just knew -- i knew something was wrong . i 've been a doctor too long not to know . i was just -- i was so terrified that i was gon na lose her right then and there . rex : she 's still your mom . sarah : you can say what you want . my daughter would still be alive if my mom had n't run us off the road . these are real people , not actors , sonny : are we done here ? or do you have more insensitive and insulting things to say to me ? zoey : i 'm trying to help you , sonny . as an officer of the court , i 'm glad justice was served and will was exonerated of murder . just like my brother will be . sonny : well , your brother put a gun on me on my husband and he admitted to what he did . zoey : did he ? sonny : in so many words . zoey : `` in so many words . `` sounds vague . sonny : well , it was clear to me what he was saying . evan murdered jordan . and he 's gon na pay for what he did . zoey : well , i have a pretty good win - loss record in there , so ... we 'll see . sonny : if you 'll excuse me . zoey : yeah , go ahead , i 'll see you in the courtroom . orpheus : hello , zoey . zoey : where 's christian ? orpheus : he just texted me , he 's on his way . but before your brother arrives , we need to talk strategy . zoey : that 's not necessary . i have christian 's defense well in hand . orpheus : so what 's your plan ? zoey : you 're not on his legal team , and i 'd rather not share it with you . orpheus : fine . then why do n't i share my ideas ? we know the prosecution 's gon na leap out of the gate with their flimsy case based on circumstantial evidence . so when christian takes the stand , i want you -- zoey : wait , wait , hold on . christian 's not taking the stand . eli : nothing 's wrong . i 'm just -- just frustrated that i have n't been able to find kristen . rafe : are n't we all ? eli : yeah . rafe : yeah . eli : i see you got the go - to suit on . what 's the occasion ? rafe : oh , man , yeah , testifying in court today . eli : oh , yeah , that 's right , the christian maddox trial . rafe : that 's right . trust me when i say i 'd much rather be here focusing on finding kristen . eli : hey , it 's all good , man . i 'm holding down the fort . rafe : okay , good , good . yeah , i know you and lani both are , so ... yeah . no new leads , though , huh ? eli : i questioned brady , but he insists that he did n't know anything about kristen 's whereabouts . rafe : do you believe him ? eli : he seemed pretty -- pretty surprised when i told him that kristen had taken off , but he 's also the person that told us that he stabbed victor , so who the hell knows . rafe : right . he 's also in love with that damn woman , so protecting her is his priority . eli : yeah . what we would n't do for the people we love , right ? rafe : yeah , that 's right . okay , so no new leads , no idea where kristen is or how she got away . kristen : okay , all right , maybe you 're right . and maybe rex did n't fly out there to meet with sarah . maybe he just ran into her and the baby in paris . lani : now that would be a coincidence . kristen : or tracked her down . either way ... either way , he figured out that sarah kidnapped rachel and that is why he 's calling me . lani : okay , i guess that 's possible . but how do we even know ? the call ended . kristen : yeah , it ended -- it ended very abruptly . lani : as if he got caught . kristen : yeah , what if sarah caught him ? lani : again , just a theory . kristen : mm - hmm . and if sarah knows that we are on to her , we 've got to get out there fast because she 's gon na disappear again . i mean , paris is such a huge place , how are we gon na find her ? sarah : i knew my baby was in trouble just from the way that the doctors took her away . but when xander brought her back to me and said that she was healthy , i just -- i ignored my instincts 'cause i wanted so badly for it to be true . rex : do you know the official cause of death ? sarah : we were in a car crash , rex . you and i have both treated enough victims to know the kind of trauma that an accident like that can cause , especially on a newborn . trauma caused by my mother 's recklessness . rex : i just do n't understand why maggie was drinking that night -- she worked so hard to stay sober . and especially with the baby coming , you would think she would be extra vigilant . what happened ? sarah : my sister summer happened . maggie : you ? you 're the one who switched the babies ? xander : i am . maggie : why ? what were you thinking ? xander : i wanted to spare sarah the pain . i knew she 'd be devastated if she lost a child . maggie : oh , so you were sparing her her grief . xander : i love her so much , maggie . she did n't deserve to suffer . so when i saw an opportunity , i took it . maggie : this is n't happening . this is -- xander : i know it was wrong , but it made sense at the time . she 'd been through so much with rex 's infidelities and everything that happened with nicole and eric . maggie : mm - hmm . so she knows what you did . xander : oh , she knows . maggie : so that 's why she called off the wedding . xander : yeah . she hates me for letting her fall in love with a baby that was never hers . maggie : how could you do this to her ? xander : it was all about protecting her . and we wanted to spare you the pain , too . maggie : we ? you did n't do this alone . xander : i -- wait -- wait a minute . [ scoffs ] victor was involved , was n't he ? i knew my daughter could be at risk of certain cancers orpheus : you 're not gon na let your brother tell his story on the stand ? if he does n't testify on his own behalf , he may look guilty . zoey : not after i destroy the prosecution 's case . like you just said , it 's flimsy at best now that the confession 's been thrown out . orpheus : but they still have christian 's dna on jordan 's body . zoey : oh , that can be explained away in a million different ways . orpheus : okay , then why do n't you let him take the stand and do just that ? let him look into the eyes of those sheep and tell them that he 's innocent . otherwise they might think he has something to hide . zoey : but he does have something to hide -- you know that better than anyone , do n't you ? orpheus : so what is that supposed to mean ? eli : kristen can be ... she can be very manipulative . rafe : yeah , do n't i know it . eli : she was desperate to get out of here and find her baby . rafe : she also stabbed victor in the chest . all right . better get down to the damn courthouse . hopefully at least put one killer behind bars today . eli : you worried about how the trial 's gon na go ? rafe : a little bit , yeah . despite not having a confession anymore , i am confident , though , that the dna we have will convict evan of jordan 's murder . eli : a conviction will definitely help you get custody of david . rafe : yes , it will definitely help , but now that evan 's sister zoey is also fighting for custody , it makes things a little trickier . eli : hey , that boy belongs with you , all right ? simple as that . rafe : yeah . yeah . all right , let me know if anything on kristen turns up . eli : i will . good luck with your testimony . rafe : thanks , man . kristen : sarah must have caught rex talking on the phone and realized he was tipping me off , which puts her in a fight or flight mode , and that means she 'll be packing up her stuff right now , and if she goes , our lead is flying right out into the wind . lani : kristen , hey , you are panicking , okay ? just calm down . look , if rex called you once , he 'll call you again . kristen : yeah , but i called him and he was n't picking up . and if he does n't pick up , then he ca n't help us . lani : there are other ways we can track him down . [ phone rings ] lani : hi , you 've reached detective lani price . please leave a message and i 'll get back to you as soon as i can . [ beep ] eli : hey , it 's me -- i need you to come down to the station as soon as you get this . it 's about the kristen dimera case . xander : why would you think victor was involved in switching the babies ? maggie : because you said kristen stabbed victor . so i repeat : was he involved ? xander : yes , he was . maggie : why ? why did he do it ? xander : for you , maggie . maggie : me ? xander : because of your daughter . we both wanted to prevent sarah from being hurt . maggie : so he risked prison to protect sarah ? xander : we both did . maggie : you know , i ca n't begin to fathom how the two of you would think that stealing another woman 's baby would be better for sarah than knowing the truth . xander : it 's complicated . maggie : no , it 's quite simple . what you did was wrong . horribly wrong . xander : we see that now . maggie : well , i 'm glad that sarah found out what you did before she married you . god ! when she found out her baby was dead , it was on her wedding day ? xander : yes . maggie : ha ha -- so that 's what everyone was trying to keep from me . xander : everyone ? maggie : julie was here . she almost told me . but will , he stopped her and made up some story . my poor sarah . i should be there supporting her . helping her get through what has to be the worst time of her life . sarah : i was in labor . my mom was gon na take me to the hospital . just as we were about to walk out the door , summer showed up . it was mother 's day . rex : and she came to visit maggie ? sarah : mm - hmm . not to bring her a card . not to bring her flowers , but to bring her the news that she 's dying of liver disease . rex : what ? sarah : well , summer 's an alcoholic . she blames my mom for it . she blames my mom for everything . even before i -- before i found out the truth about my mom running us off the road , i had so much sympathy for her . to be a mother and to have a child to say such ugly accusations . and then i found out the truth and ... all my sympathy was gone . rex : yeah , but you just said that you -- sarah : do not defend her ! she made a choice to drink . she made a choice to get in a car . my daughter would still be alive if it were not for those choices . seresto , seresto , seresto . maggie : i need to get out here for at least a few days . xander : how would that be possible ? maggie : i do n't know . but sarah needs me and so does victor , and i need to talk to justin to talk to the warden . xander : maggie , i -- maggie : do n't try to talk me out of this . xander : i 'm sorry , but even if you could get out of here , it would n't help . maggie : you do n't know that . and you of all people do n't get to tell me what my daughter needs . not after what you 've done ! xander : what i 'm saying is , even if you were granted leave from prison , you would n't be able to be with sarah . maggie : why ? xander : because she 's gone , maggie ! she took kristen 's baby and ran off . rex : sarah , with everything that 's happened , with you running away with this baby and victor being stabbed , do n't you think someone has told maggie by now ? sarah : [ sniffling ] you think she knows ? rex : and people would n't want her finding out the wrong way . i mean , think about it . finding out that you 're responsible for your granddaughter 's death , i mean , can you imagine what that 's got to be like for her ? sarah : no . rex : i know you 're in a lot of pain , sarah , but maggie is suffering , too . sarah : god , i 've just been so concerned with keeping mickey with me that i have n't even thought about how this must be impacting her . rex : she loves you , sarah . nobody knows it better than me , but news like this , it will break her . sarah : there is this part of me that wants her to suffer . but just -- rex : i know . but the bigger part of you loves her . and always will . sarah : god , if summer just had n't shown up that night with a bottle of booze , everything would be different . my daughter would still be alive . rex : i know , i know , but we ca n't turn back time . look , your mother is hurting , too . you do n't want to lose her as well . you can make this better . only you can make this better . do n't you think you owe that to her ? lani : i really hate lying to eli . kristen : well , he might have a lead on tracking me down . do you think he 's gon na show up here ? eli : no . we 've been really careful . i 'm sure it 's nothing . kristen : okay , do you want to call him back ? lani : no . i will deal with eli later . right now , we need to focus on tracking down rex and luckily , i have a tech genius in my family . actually , so do you . if anybody can help us track down rex , it 's my brother theo . zoey : we both know that christian did kill jordan . orpheus : are you sure that 's all you meant ? or do you think your brother might be hiding something else ? zoey : i do n't know what you mean , dad . i mean , what else would i be referring to ? orpheus : oh , commissioner hernandez . how 's my grandson ? rafe : david 's not your grandson . never will be . orpheus : really ? well , biology suggests otherwise . and soon he 'll be my family legally as well , once my darling daughter here wins custody . rafe : not gon na happen . zoey : you seem awfully confident for a man who just had a restraining order thrown out in court . rafe : i will win custody of david . especially once your brother is convicted of murder . zoey : i do n't see it , commish . because my brother did n't kill jordan . you did . it 's the 6 : 10 rafe : i killed jordan ? [ laughs ] you 're joking , right ? zoey : well , there 's nothing funny about it . you 're the true murderer and i 'm not gon na keep quiet about it . rafe : this is ridiculous . zoey : everybody knows how much you hated jordan . she poisoned you . she attacked your former stepdaughter , ciara brady . she tried to run away with little david . you were frantic . you were furious . so you hunted her down and you strangled her and then you used your position at the salem pd to frame ben weston for the crime . rafe : wow , what are you smoking ? zoey : but that did n't hold up , did it ? and now you 're trying to do the same thing to my brother . rafe : this is insane . orpheus : gee , i do n't know , rafe , makes perfect sense to me . lani : yeah , it 's -- it 's really sad , theo . tragic , actually . and kristen , she just wants to find her little girl and bring her home . but look , theo , here 's the good news . i have a lead on a phone that could help us track down sarah and the baby , so if i give you the number , do you think that you could use your magic and trace its location ? sarah : why do you care so much about my mother ? she did n't even like you . rex : she did n't like me because she 's fiercely protective of you , and i respect that about her . sarah : she did n't protect anyone , because drinking and driving is unforgivable in my book ! is it not in yours ? rex : oh , god , of course in mine ! sarah : then stop defending her ! rex : i 'm not defending her ! she made a terrible mistake . drinking and driving , getting behind the wheel while she was drunk ! but you know what , sarah , she has a disease . she 's an alcoholic . that does not make her a bad person ! and she 's not only dealing with the fact that she killed a friend , she killed her granddaughter ! which is why right now it is so important that you and mckenzie get back to salem and be there for her . maggie : how did she get out of town ? xander : she took mackenzie and fled on the titan jet that was supposed to take us on our honeymoon . maggie : well , do you know where she went ? xander : all we know is that she landed in london . i -- i got her on the phone . i tried to persuade her to let me help her , but she refused . maggie : why would she want your help after what you did ? xander : i get why you blame me but i -- i really thought i was doing the right thing for her . maggie : ha . i 'm not sure i understand that . there is so much i do n't understand . xander : what else ? maggie : i 'm trying to process how sarah 's baby died . xander : how ? maggie : well , she was in the hospital and everything was fine , right ? so what caused her death ? if new financial obstacles stand between you rafe : nobody is gon na buy your preposterous story . zoey : the jury might . rafe : no . no , you 're as bad as your father and your brother . zoey : i 'm just doing my job , and if i can create reasonable doubt , christian walks free . rafe : christian deserves to be in jail -- he 's a liar and a murderer and you know it . zoey : well , you 're entitled to your opinion , not that it matters . rafe : we 'll see . orpheus : that was impressive . zoey : stroke of genius , actually . which is why it 's not necessary for christian to take the stand . orpheus : what are you so afraid of ? zoey : i do n't trust him up there -- he gets jittery when he 's confronted , which will open the door for the prosecution to come at him with guns blazing , and i do n't know what else the d.a . might throw at him . orpheus : there you go again , talking as though you know more than you 're saying . are you referring to something specific ? lani : thank you so much , theo . i knew i could count on you . i love you too . kristen : he 's in ? lani : he 's in . he will call you if he is able to get a hit on rex 's phone . kristen : okay , thank you , thank you . lani : of course . kristen : hmm . wait . are you going somewhere ? lani : i really should get back to eli before he sends a search party out for me . kristen : okay . i want you to know how much i appreciate all your help . lani : we have n't found rachel yet , but hopefully now with theo , we will . kristen : yeah , well , i 'm not just talking about you reaching out to theo . you put yourself on the line for me when you smuggled me out of that police station . lani : oh , kristen , do n't worry about that , okay ? i need you to just focus on getting your little girl back . sarah : i ca n't go back to salem . kristen will take my daughter away from me . rex : you ca n't run forever , sarah , we talked about this . sarah : i 'm not ready , rex . i 'm not ready . rex : i know . but you 've got to think about your mom . look what happened ... when summer confronted her . she got behind the wheel of a car drunk . you need to be there for her . she finds out that she 's responsible for her granddaughter 's death , she 'll punish herself for the rest of her life or ... she 'll die of a broken heart . do you want to see that happen ? xander : i do n't know all the details , but i guess there were complications with the baby . maggie : so something must 've happened to her in the hospital after you brought her in . xander : i do n't know . maggie : yeah , but you delivered her yourself on the side of the road . she was fine when you got her to the e.r . , right ? so you rushed her to the hospital , and -- and if she was in some kind of distress -- xander : maggie , please , just let it go . maggie : the baby was fine when she was born as far as you knew ? but i had -- i had just run adrienne and sarah off the road . oh , god ! xander : there 's no need -- maggie : oh , god , oh , god , oh , god ! the accident . it was a terrible crash . but i not only killed adrienne , i killed my own granddaughter . oh , god . [ sobbing ] oh ... god ! you may not see them , but your itchy eyes know orpheus : did your brother say something to you ? zoey : say something to me about what ?

sarah : she killed my baby , too . maggie : if that baby 's alive , where is she ? where is she ? xander : with sarah . it was n't brady and kristen 's baby that died that night . maggie : no . xander : it was sarah 's . maggie : no . that does n't make any sense . mickey is n't dead . mickey 's a beautiful little girl who battled so hard to beat cancer . i miss her so much . but the time i had with her was such a blessing . xander : i love her , too , maggie . maggie : i miss her every day . but i know she has a good life with sarah 'cause sarah 's a wonderful mother . xander : she is , but she 's not that baby 's mother . maggie : how can you say such horrible things ? mickey -- she faced down death and she survived . and she 's getting healthier every day , thanks to sarah 's love and her care . xander : that little girl that sarah brought home from the hospital did beat cancer , and sarah was there with her every step of the way . the baby was never hers . the little girl that eric and sarah thought that was their own was really kristen 's daughter , rachel . male announcer : like sands through the hourglass , so are the `` days of our lives . `` [ soft orchestration ] sonny : i 'm sorry , do i know you ? zoey : we have n't been properly introduced . i 'm zoey burge . sonny : christian 's sister ? zoey : that 's right . sonny : and you 're warning me not to testify because ? zoey : i 'm also his lawyer . so if you go up on that stand , i 'm gon na tear you to shreds . sonny : is that right ? zoey : mm - hmm . because you 're going to try to incriminate christian . sonny : well , he incriminated himself when he confessed to me and will . zoey : according to you . but it 's also my job to discredit you any way that i can , which means dredging up your sexual relationship you had with christian . in fact , i plan to expose every gory detail to the jury . sonny : go ahead . i have nothing to hide . zoey : no ? so you 're okay with your husband hearing every intimate detail about your extramarital relationship with christian ? because from what i hear , it was pretty hot and heavy . sonny : [ ahem ] will and i were separated at that time . he was in prison for a crime he did n't commit . zoey : oh , right , yes , it was actually your uncle 's wife that killed your mother . maggie : you 're saying that kristen is mickey 's mother ? xander : she is . but her name is rachel . maggie : that 's not possible . xander : i wish it were n't true . it breaks my heart to be here telling you this . maggie : but kristen and brady 's baby died at the hospital . xander : the baby that died that night was sarah 's . maggie : no ! xander : the two girls were switched in the nursery and sarah brought home the wrong baby . maggie : how do you know this ? xander : a dna test was run . i can show you the results . they -- they prove that mackenzie -- that rachel is really brady and kristen 's . maggie : oh , i ca n't believe this . how could the hospital make such a terrible mistake ? xander : these things happen , i guess . maggie : no , they don't . it 's not right . my daughter loves mickey . sarah 's been her mother from the day she was born . it 'll destroy her if that little girl is taken away from her . xander : i know . maggie : it 's wrong . it 's so wrong . i need to talk to justin -- xander : he knows about it . maggie : well , then , i hope he 's doing something about it because it 's unacceptable . and whoever on that hospital staff is to blame for this terrible mistake -- xander : it was n't a mistake , maggie ! maggie : what ? xander : the babies were switched on purpose . maggie : on purpose ? by who ? xander : by me . [ eerie off - key notes ] lani : okay , look , kristen , just calm down , okay ? kristen : calm down ? calm down ? no , this is the first lead that we 've had . lani : yes , it 's a lead . but we ca n't just sit here and assume that rex is helping sarah because she flew to london and he 's at a medical conference in paris . kristen : oh , my god , that 's just a big coincidence , huh ? lani : maybe it is . kristen : okay , you know what ? i believe that there is no medical conference in paris . i think that -- that rex made up that story so that he could leave the country and meet up with sarah . lani : they are not even together , so why would sarah reach out to him ? kristen : because sarah -- sarah 's smart and she needs someone to help her disappear again . and she hates xander for lying to her . and , you know , everyone else here in salem is just gon na track her down and try to get her back here . lani : okay . so if rex is helping sarah , why is he calling you ? rex : i know about the accident . like everyone else , i ... i was so relieved and grateful to hear that you ... you and your daughter were okay . sarah : except now everyone knows that mickey is n't my biological child . that xander switched kristen 's healthy baby with mine . rex : and you blame your mom for her death . sarah : of course i do . i do n't know what brady and kristen were told was the cause of death . i just -- when i was in labor on the side of the road , i just knew -- i knew something was wrong . i 've been a doctor too long not to know . i was just -- i was so terrified that i was gon na lose her right then and there . rex : she 's still your mom . sarah : you can say what you want . my daughter would still be alive if my mom had n't run us off the road . these are real people , not actors , sonny : are we done here ? or do you have more insensitive and insulting things to say to me ? zoey : i 'm trying to help you , sonny . as an officer of the court , i 'm glad justice was served and will was exonerated of murder . just like my brother will be . sonny : well , your brother put a gun on me on my husband and he admitted to what he did . zoey : did he ? sonny : in so many words . zoey : `` in so many words . `` sounds vague . sonny : well , it was clear to me what he was saying . evan murdered jordan . and he 's gon na pay for what he did . zoey : well , i have a pretty good win - loss record in there , so ... we 'll see . sonny : if you 'll excuse me . zoey : yeah , go ahead , i 'll see you in the courtroom . orpheus : hello , zoey . zoey : where 's christian ? orpheus : he just texted me , he 's on his way . but before your brother arrives , we need to talk strategy . zoey : that 's not necessary . i have christian 's defense well in hand . orpheus : so what 's your plan ? zoey : you 're not on his legal team , and i 'd rather not share it with you . orpheus : fine . then why do n't i share my ideas ? we know the prosecution 's gon na leap out of the gate with their flimsy case based on circumstantial evidence . so when christian takes the stand , i want you -- zoey : wait , wait , hold on . christian 's not taking the stand . eli : nothing 's wrong . i 'm just -- just frustrated that i have n't been able to find kristen . rafe : are n't we all ? eli : yeah . rafe : yeah . eli : i see you got the go - to suit on . what 's the occasion ? rafe : oh , man , yeah , testifying in court today . eli : oh , yeah , that 's right , the christian maddox trial . rafe : that 's right . trust me when i say i 'd much rather be here focusing on finding kristen . eli : hey , it 's all good , man . i 'm holding down the fort . rafe : okay , good , good . yeah , i know you and lani both are , so ... yeah . no new leads , though , huh ? eli : i questioned brady , but he insists that he did n't know anything about kristen 's whereabouts . rafe : do you believe him ? eli : he seemed pretty -- pretty surprised when i told him that kristen had taken off , but he 's also the person that told us that he stabbed victor , so who the hell knows . rafe : right . he 's also in love with that damn woman , so protecting her is his priority . eli : yeah . what we would n't do for the people we love , right ? rafe : yeah , that 's right . okay , so no new leads , no idea where kristen is or how she got away . kristen : okay , all right , maybe you 're right . and maybe rex did n't fly out there to meet with sarah . maybe he just ran into her and the baby in paris . lani : now that would be a coincidence . kristen : or tracked her down . either way ... either way , he figured out that sarah kidnapped rachel and that is why he 's calling me . lani : okay , i guess that 's possible . but how do we even know ? the call ended . kristen : yeah , it ended -- it ended very abruptly . lani : as if he got caught . kristen : yeah , what if sarah caught him ? lani : again , just a theory . kristen : mm - hmm . and if sarah knows that we are on to her , we 've got to get out there fast because she 's gon na disappear again . i mean , paris is such a huge place , how are we gon na find her ? sarah : i knew my baby was in trouble just from the way that the doctors took her away . but when xander brought her back to me and said that she was healthy , i just -- i ignored my instincts 'cause i wanted so badly for it to be true . rex : do you know the official cause of death ? sarah : we were in a car crash , rex . you and i have both treated enough victims to know the kind of trauma that an accident like that can cause , especially on a newborn . trauma caused by my mother 's recklessness . rex : i just do n't understand why maggie was drinking that night -- she worked so hard to stay sober . and especially with the baby coming , you would think she would be extra vigilant . what happened ? sarah : my sister summer happened . maggie : you ? you 're the one who switched the babies ? xander : i am . maggie : why ? what were you thinking ? xander : i wanted to spare sarah the pain . i knew she 'd be devastated if she lost a child . maggie : oh , so you were sparing her her grief . xander : i love her so much , maggie . she did n't deserve to suffer . so when i saw an opportunity , i took it . maggie : this is n't happening . this is -- xander : i know it was wrong , but it made sense at the time . she 'd been through so much with rex 's infidelities and everything that happened with nicole and eric . maggie : mm - hmm . so she knows what you did . xander : oh , she knows . maggie : so that 's why she called off the wedding . xander : yeah . she hates me for letting her fall in love with a baby that was never hers . maggie : how could you do this to her ? xander : it was all about protecting her . and we wanted to spare you the pain , too . maggie : we ? you did n't do this alone . xander : i -- wait -- wait a minute . [ scoffs ] victor was involved , was n't he ? i knew my daughter could be at risk of certain cancers orpheus : you 're not gon na let your brother tell his story on the stand ? if he does n't testify on his own behalf , he may look guilty . zoey : not after i destroy the prosecution 's case . like you just said , it 's flimsy at best now that the confession 's been thrown out . orpheus : but they still have christian 's dna on jordan 's body . zoey : oh , that can be explained away in a million different ways . orpheus : okay , then why do n't you let him take the stand and do just that ? let him look into the eyes of those sheep and tell them that he 's innocent . otherwise they might think he has something to hide . zoey : but he does have something to hide -- you know that better than anyone , do n't you ? orpheus : so what is that supposed to mean ? eli : kristen can be ... she can be very manipulative . rafe : yeah , do n't i know it . eli : she was desperate to get out of here and find her baby . rafe : she also stabbed victor in the chest . all right . better get down to the damn courthouse . hopefully at least put one killer behind bars today . eli : you worried about how the trial 's gon na go ? rafe : a little bit , yeah . despite not having a confession anymore , i am confident , though , that the dna we have will convict evan of jordan 's murder . eli : a conviction will definitely help you get custody of david . rafe : yes , it will definitely help , but now that evan 's sister zoey is also fighting for custody , it makes things a little trickier . eli : hey , that boy belongs with you , all right ? simple as that . rafe : yeah . yeah . all right , let me know if anything on kristen turns up . eli : i will . good luck with your testimony . rafe : thanks , man . kristen : sarah must have caught rex talking on the phone and realized he was tipping me off , which puts her in a fight or flight mode , and that means she 'll be packing up her stuff right now , and if she goes , our lead is flying right out into the wind . lani : kristen , hey , you are panicking , okay ? just calm down . look , if rex called you once , he 'll call you again . kristen : yeah , but i called him and he was n't picking up . and if he does n't pick up , then he ca n't help us . lani : there are other ways we can track him down . [ phone rings ] lani : hi , you 've reached detective lani price . please leave a message and i 'll get back to you as soon as i can . [ beep ] eli : hey , it 's me -- i need you to come down to the station as soon as you get this . it 's about the kristen dimera case . xander : why would you think victor was involved in switching the babies ? maggie : because you said kristen stabbed victor . so i repeat : was he involved ? xander : yes , he was . maggie : why ? why did he do it ? xander : for you , maggie . maggie : me ? xander : because of your daughter . we both wanted to prevent sarah from being hurt . maggie : so he risked prison to protect sarah ? xander : we both did . maggie : you know , i ca n't begin to fathom how the two of you would think that stealing another woman 's baby would be better for sarah than knowing the truth . xander : it 's complicated . maggie : no , it 's quite simple . what you did was wrong . horribly wrong . xander : we see that now . maggie : well , i 'm glad that sarah found out what you did before she married you . god ! when she found out her baby was dead , it was on her wedding day ? xander : yes . maggie : ha ha -- so that 's what everyone was trying to keep from me . xander : everyone ? maggie : julie was here . she almost told me . but will , he stopped her and made up some story . my poor sarah . i should be there supporting her . helping her get through what has to be the worst time of her life . sarah : i was in labor . my mom was gon na take me to the hospital . just as we were about to walk out the door , summer showed up . it was mother 's day . rex : and she came to visit maggie ? sarah : mm - hmm . not to bring her a card . not to bring her flowers , but to bring her the news that she 's dying of liver disease . rex : what ? sarah : well , summer 's an alcoholic . she blames my mom for it . she blames my mom for everything . even before i -- before i found out the truth about my mom running us off the road , i had so much sympathy for her . to be a mother and to have a child to say such ugly accusations . and then i found out the truth and ... all my sympathy was gone . rex : yeah , but you just said that you -- sarah : do not defend her ! she made a choice to drink . she made a choice to get in a car . my daughter would still be alive if it were not for those choices . seresto , seresto , seresto . maggie : i need to get out here for at least a few days . xander : how would that be possible ? maggie : i do n't know . but sarah needs me and so does victor , and i need to talk to justin to talk to the warden . xander : maggie , i -- maggie : do n't try to talk me out of this . xander : i 'm sorry , but even if you could get out of here , it would n't help . maggie : you do n't know that . and you of all people do n't get to tell me what my daughter needs . not after what you 've done ! xander : what i 'm saying is , even if you were granted leave from prison , you would n't be able to be with sarah . maggie : why ? xander : because she 's gone , maggie ! she took kristen 's baby and ran off . rex : sarah , with everything that 's happened , with you running away with this baby and victor being stabbed , do n't you think someone has told maggie by now ? sarah : [ sniffling ] you think she knows ? rex : and people would n't want her finding out the wrong way . i mean , think about it . finding out that you 're responsible for your granddaughter 's death , i mean , can you imagine what that 's got to be like for her ? sarah : no . rex : i know you 're in a lot of pain , sarah , but maggie is suffering , too . sarah : god , i 've just been so concerned with keeping mickey with me that i have n't even thought about how this must be impacting her . rex : she loves you , sarah . nobody knows it better than me , but news like this , it will break her . sarah : there is this part of me that wants her to suffer . but just -- rex : i know . but the bigger part of you loves her . and always will . sarah : god , if summer just had n't shown up that night with a bottle of booze , everything would be different . my daughter would still be alive . rex : i know , i know , but we ca n't turn back time . look , your mother is hurting , too . you do n't want to lose her as well . you can make this better . only you can make this better . do n't you think you owe that to her ? lani : i really hate lying to eli . kristen : well , he might have a lead on tracking me down . do you think he 's gon na show up here ? eli : no . we 've been really careful . i 'm sure it 's nothing . kristen : okay , do you want to call him back ? lani : no . i will deal with eli later . right now , we need to focus on tracking down rex and luckily , i have a tech genius in my family . actually , so do you . if anybody can help us track down rex , it 's my brother theo . zoey : we both know that christian did kill jordan . orpheus : are you sure that 's all you meant ? or do you think your brother might be hiding something else ? zoey : i do n't know what you mean , dad . i mean , what else would i be referring to ? orpheus : oh , commissioner hernandez . how 's my grandson ? rafe : david 's not your grandson . never will be . orpheus : really ? well , biology suggests otherwise . and soon he 'll be my family legally as well , once my darling daughter here wins custody . rafe : not gon na happen . zoey : you seem awfully confident for a man who just had a restraining order thrown out in court . rafe : i will win custody of david . especially once your brother is convicted of murder . zoey : i do n't see it , commish . because my brother did n't kill jordan . you did . it 's the 6 : 10 rafe : i killed jordan ? [ laughs ] you 're joking , right ? zoey : well , there 's nothing funny about it . you 're the true murderer and i 'm not gon na keep quiet about it . rafe : this is ridiculous . zoey : everybody knows how much you hated jordan . she poisoned you . she attacked your former stepdaughter , ciara brady . she tried to run away with little david . you were frantic . you were furious . so you hunted her down and you strangled her and then you used your position at the salem pd to frame ben weston for the crime . rafe : wow , what are you smoking ? zoey : but that did n't hold up , did it ? and now you 're trying to do the same thing to my brother . rafe : this is insane . orpheus : gee , i do n't know , rafe , makes perfect sense to me . lani : yeah , it 's -- it 's really sad , theo . tragic , actually . and kristen , she just wants to find her little girl and bring her home . but look , theo , here 's the good news . i have a lead on a phone that could help us track down sarah and the baby , so if i give you the number , do you think that you could use your magic and trace its location ? sarah : why do you care so much about my mother ? she did n't even like you . rex : she did n't like me because she 's fiercely protective of you , and i respect that about her . sarah : she did n't protect anyone , because drinking and driving is unforgivable in my book ! is it not in yours ? rex : oh , god , of course in mine ! sarah : then stop defending her ! rex : i 'm not defending her ! she made a terrible mistake . drinking and driving , getting behind the wheel while she was drunk ! but you know what , sarah , she has a disease . she 's an alcoholic . that does not make her a bad person ! and she 's not only dealing with the fact that she killed a friend , she killed her granddaughter ! which is why right now it is so important that you and mckenzie get back to salem and be there for her . maggie : how did she get out of town ? xander : she took mackenzie and fled on the titan jet that was supposed to take us on our honeymoon . maggie : well , do you know where she went ? xander : all we know is that she landed in london . i -- i got her on the phone . i tried to persuade her to let me help her , but she refused . maggie : why would she want your help after what you did ? xander : i get why you blame me but i -- i really thought i was doing the right thing for her . maggie : ha . i 'm not sure i understand that . there is so much i do n't understand . xander : what else ? maggie : i 'm trying to process how sarah 's baby died . xander : how ? maggie : well , she was in the hospital and everything was fine , right ? so what caused her death ? if new financial obstacles stand between you rafe : nobody is gon na buy your preposterous story . zoey : the jury might . rafe : no . no , you 're as bad as your father and your brother . zoey : i 'm just doing my job , and if i can create reasonable doubt , christian walks free . rafe : christian deserves to be in jail -- he 's a liar and a murderer and you know it . zoey : well , you 're entitled to your opinion , not that it matters . rafe : we 'll see . orpheus : that was impressive . zoey : stroke of genius , actually . which is why it 's not necessary for christian to take the stand . orpheus : what are you so afraid of ? zoey : i do n't trust him up there -- he gets jittery when he 's confronted , which will open the door for the prosecution to come at him with guns blazing , and i do n't know what else the d.a . might throw at him . orpheus : there you go again , talking as though you know more than you 're saying . are you referring to something specific ? lani : thank you so much , theo . i knew i could count on you . i love you too . kristen : he 's in ? lani : he 's in . he will call you if he is able to get a hit on rex 's phone . kristen : okay , thank you , thank you . lani : of course . kristen : hmm . wait . are you going somewhere ? lani : i really should get back to eli before he sends a search party out for me . kristen : okay . i want you to know how much i appreciate all your help . lani : we have n't found rachel yet , but hopefully now with theo , we will . kristen : yeah , well , i 'm not just talking about you reaching out to theo . you put yourself on the line for me when you smuggled me out of that police station . lani : oh , kristen , do n't worry about that , okay ? i need you to just focus on getting your little girl back . sarah : i ca n't go back to salem . kristen will take my daughter away from me . rex : you ca n't run forever , sarah , we talked about this . sarah : i 'm not ready , rex . i 'm not ready . rex : i know . but you 've got to think about your mom . look what happened ... when summer confronted her . she got behind the wheel of a car drunk . you need to be there for her . she finds out that she 's responsible for her granddaughter 's death , she 'll punish herself for the rest of her life or ... she 'll die of a broken heart . do you want to see that happen ? xander : i do n't know all the details , but i guess there were complications with the baby . maggie : so something must 've happened to her in the hospital after you brought her in . xander : i do n't know . maggie : yeah , but you delivered her yourself on the side of the road . she was fine when you got her to the e.r . , right ? so you rushed her to the hospital , and -- and if she was in some kind of distress -- xander : maggie , please , just let it go . maggie : the baby was fine when she was born as far as you knew ? but i had -- i had just run adrienne and sarah off the road . oh , god ! xander : there 's no need -- maggie : oh , god , oh , god , oh , god ! the accident . it was a terrible crash . but i not only killed adrienne , i killed my own granddaughter . oh , god . [ sobbing ] oh ... god ! you may not see them , but your itchy eyes know orpheus : did your brother say something to you ? zoey : say something to me about what ? [ beep beep ] trial is starting soon . so i 'm sure christian 's probably inside by now . we better get in there . lani : hey , you . i brought you your favorite coffee cake muffin . eli : did you get my message ? lani : i was in line at the coffee shop when you called . any leads on kristen ? eli : lani , i saw what you did . i know that you helped kristen escape .

[ chuckles ] tracy : charming . alice : wait -- i got this one . here 's michael . tracy : the noble hero . how charming . alice : oh , and here 's my favorite . you . tracy : fangs ? alice : it 's the prototype . tracy : and what is the purpose of this little exercise ? alice : well , i suggested they do a story about the family coming together in adversity , but maybe a better idea would be a story about betrayal , being that i just heard you plotting to overthrow michael and oust him from the company . maxie & levi : [ chanting ] housing 's for the little guys , too . stop the greed of elq ! housing 's for the little guys , too . stop the greed of elq ! housing is for the little guys , too . stop the greed of elq ! morgan : the demo guys left these , so we 're in luck . michael : uh , no , thanks . um , what was kiki talking about ? i mean , what 's going on with her cousin ? morgan : he 's just -- he 's got problems . michael : what kind ? morgan : uh , it 's -- it 's hard to say . kiki 's not sure , but from the sound of it , she 's not worried for nothing . [ maxie & levi continue chanting ] patrick : so , if you were n't driving your car , then who was ? someone else had access to your car ? silas : slow down . sounds like -- patrick : it sounds like you 're avoiding the question . you were either driving the car , or you 're trying to protect the person that was . maxie : so , like , we 're not gon na pull a gandhi for the waterfront , are we ? because i have to be honest -- i do n't think have a hunger strike in me . levi : i have faith in you . maxie : that 's really sweet of you to say . is that a yes about the hunger strike ? michael : [ sighs ] look , maxie , this is your last chance , all right ? i really -- i really hope you take it . levi : is that a threat ? michael : [ sighs ] once the police show up , and there 's a crime in progress , they 'll take over . it 's gon na be completely out of my hands . levi : the pcpd can do their worst . not a one of them will sway maxie and me from our cause . nathan : not even me ? dante : sweetheart ? hey . how you doing ? lulu : is it over ? dante : yeah . yeah , the orderlies just brought you back in . they said you did pretty good . lulu : did it work ? dante : we do n't know yet . olivia : we 'll know soon -- just as soon as dr. chu gets here . dante : hey . i just want you to know you 're my hero . lulu : no . dante : no , you have been through the wringer for this family . lulu : it wo n't matter if the operation failed . dante : you know , all that matters is that you and rocco are okay . everything else is icing on the cake . [ knock on door ] [ door opens ] dr. chu : how 's the patient ? lulu : ready for the verdict . can i carry our baby ? shawn : ava 's pregnant ? sonny : yeah . we do n't know if the baby 's mine or morgan 's . shawn : well , i 'm sorry to hear that , sonny . sonny : not as sorry as i am ... or morgan or olivia . shawn : i 'm sure they have n't taken the news well . sonny : uh , no , no . they did n't take it well at all . so , uh , ava 's gon na , you know -- i 'm gon na keep her at my place 'cause i do n't want her taking off with the baby . i want the baby to be treated well . but as soon as , uh , the baby 's born ... she 's done . shawn : that 's a long time to cohabitate with her . sonny : well , you know , i 'm patient . she can pull -- ava can pull anything she wants . she can , you know , have her mother move in and -- you know , bring it . shawn : who are we talking about here ? sonny : her pip - squeak mother . she 's got , like , a bird nest . shawn : [ chuckles ] sonny : you know , and she 's , like -- her voice sounds like a blender . shawn : okay . sonny : she thought -- ava thought she could move her in , right , and it would drive me out of my head . but the joke 's on her because i can leave my house . ava ca n't . shawn : [ chuckles ] sonny : so she has to stay with her mother . delia : wait a second . you want my help ? ava : is that so strange ? delia : ava , we 've had , like , two serious conversations , and i 'm not blaming you . i mean , i gave you up for adoption , and you did n't find me till you were a grown - up , so it 's not like i helped you pick out your prom dress . but still , you wanted one thing from me , and i told you who your real father was , and we know how that turned out . ava : i do n't have anybody else . delia : well , what about julian , your brother ? i hear he 's some kind of hot shot . ava : bridge burned . delia : kiki ? ava : well , i 'm not exactly kiki 's favorite person at the moment , and even if i was , i - i ca n't risk involving her in this . delia : oh , so you 're willing to risk your mother ? ava : i 'm trying to protect my daughter ! i 'm sort of hoping you have the same instinct here ! delia : what if i do n't ? ! ava : i 'm dead . and i 'll tell you something -- sonny will be sure that my child never knows his grandmother . delia : well , you never let me meet kiki . ava : and i 'm sorry . and i 'm trying to make amends here . i do n't want to make the same mistake again . please ... mom . if you wo n't do it for me ... would you do it for the baby ? delia : okay , so if i help you ... what do you have in mind for me ? shawn : you know , this -- this play of ava 's -- the irritating mother . sonny : yeah . shawn : there 's got to be more to that . sonny : look , you do n't think i know that , you know , ava did n't just move her mother into the -- into my house for no reason ? i know she has an angle . i 'm just trying to figure out what it is . ava : sonny has an audio recording of a conversation betw -- between me and somebody else . delia : and you were talking about what ? ava : this thing that i did . delia : the thing -- the thing that made sonny so unhappy ? ava : yeah . but there 's another item on the recording ... about sonny ... equally damning . delia : you know , it 's a shame that you and sonny do n't get along because the two of you are made for each other . ava : [ chuckles ] if i could just get my hands on that recording , then i would have the leverage i need to stay alive after i have the baby . delia : okay , well , where does he keep it ? ava : i do n't have the foggiest idea . delia : [ sighs ] that 's not good . ava : but that 's -- that 's just where you come in . delia : oh , yeah , 'cause i 've been known to have a nose for valuable items . ava : i 've searched the house , but the problem is , my minders never leave me alone for very long . but that could work to your advantage because while sonny is watching me ... delia : no one 's watching me . ava : exactly . and sonny would never suspect u . he -- he just thinks that you 're here to annoy him . delia : and why would he think that ? kiki : hi , sam . dr. drake . silas , can i talk to you for a minute ? patrick : actually , we need to talk to you first , kiki . silas : my daughter 's -- patrick : were you driving your father 's car the night of a.j . quartermaine 's funeral ? kiki : yes , i was driving . is -- i 'm -- there was a lot of confusion on how i was getting to the funeral that night . morgan drove me here to the hospital so i could pick up your car . what 's going on ? sam : your father 's car was used to force patrick and his family off the road . kiki : so you think i 'm the one who did it ? sam : no , we are not saying that . no . patrick : what time did you get home from the funeral ? that accident happened about 9 : 20 . kiki : i got home at 10 : 00 , 10 : 30 . patrick : so you had plenty of time to run us off the road and then drop the car off at the gage ? kiki : i did n't even have the car that night . sam : you -- you -- just said that you picked the car up from the hospital . kiki : i know . i - i ended up driving , uh , your car from the hospital to our apartment , and then morgan drove me to the funeral , and michael drove me home . you can ask either one of them . sam : did you take the keys with you , or did you leave them at the apartment ? kiki : no , i left them at the apartment . patrick : was there anybody else at the apartment ? sam : [ sighs ] there was one other person , was n't there ? rafe . levi : well , if it is n't the blue heelers . maxie : i do n't know what that means , but i 'm sure he meant it respectfully . levi : you come to trample our rights , coppers ? silence our voices ? nathan : dunkleman , there is n't a gag big enough . dispatch said there were trespassers ? morgan : yeah , as you can see . michael : you know , they really did n't need to send a detective . levi : well , `` overkill `` is the pcpd 's middle name . nathan : yeah , i saw maxie 's name on the report and thought that i might come down and try and defuse the situation before anybody got in trouble . maxie : the trouble was here before we showed up . morgan : no , i was here trying to get work done . levi : this project is unfair , and wee gon na put a stop to it . michael : mr. dunkleman here seems to have confused himself with che guevara . morgan : yeah , uh , we think he 's trying to impress maxie . nathan : maxie , levi , you need to clear out , okay , before this situation gets out of control . levi : control is what we 're taking . we 're taking control for the people of the waterfront . morgan : dude , okay , name one person that you know on the waterfront . levi : and we 're taking control for maxie . she needs a distraction ever since you sabotaged her bid to see her baby . nathan : that was nobody but you , dunkleman . levi : this again ? maxie : levi had nothing to do with that . morgan : you have any idea what they 're talking about ? michael : no idea . look , maxie , nathan does n't want any trouble . morgan and i certainly do n't want any trouble . the only person who seems to want trouble here is your boyfriend . okay , can you just please take him and go ? levi : ignore me all you want , but maxie and i are staying right here . michael : this is private property . morgan : dude , we are renovating it . levi : you ca n't -- not while we 're squatting over it , with squatters ' rights . nathan : nobody is squatting over anything . maxie : how do you know ? nathan : because we share an apartment . okay , legally , you can not be living there and squatting here . so , vacate the premises now . levi : or ? nathan : or i 'll arrest you . levi : i dare you . nathan : done . [ handcuffs click ] lulu : what was the diagnosis ? dr. chu : it was what we 'd hoped . your issue was a septate uterus , not a bicornuate uterus . repairing it was a very straightforward procedure . you should be up and at 'em soon . olivia : so , there were no complications ? dr. chu : none . olivia : and no side effects to worry about ? lulu : the only side effect i care about is whether i can have a successful pregnancy . olivia : [ sighs ] lulu : can i ? dr. chu : after a short period of rest and recovery , i can see no reason why you should n't be able to carry an embryo to term . congratulations . olivia : did n't i tell you guys that everything was gon na work out all right ? dante : you always do . olivia : well , this time , i was right , right ? and now there can be a little brother or sister for -- for baby rocco . [ chuckling ] and a new grandbaby for me . i was gon na say , `` for me and sonny , `` but , um ... lulu : i 'm sure he 'll be just as pleased . olivia : yeah . i was gon na say maybe we should give him a call , but , uh , i guess he 's got enough to think about with his new baby , huh ? delia : and why would sonny think that i 'm here to annoy him ? ava : [ sighs ] he -- he made me his prisoner . i 'm in no position to stage some kind of escape . so i 'm -- i 'm doing everything i can to make him reconsider forcing me to stay here , and i 'm doing everything i can to drive him crazy . inviting you here was another tactic . delia : meaning you think i 'm a pest . ava : i did n't say that . delia : do i annoy you ? ava : you are doing me a huge , huge favor here . delia : well , i have n't agreed to do that yet , and maybe i should n't do it because you find me so damn annoying ! ava : please ! you have to help me . if you do n't , i 'm dead . and sonny will never , ever let you see this baby . delia : assuming that 's true , which , in your case , is a big , big assumption ... ava : just do n't abandon me again . i need you . sonny : [ sighs ] do n't tell me the family reunion has hit the skids . sam : rafe had access to your car , did n't he ? patrick : rafe -- his nephew rafe ? sam : yes . silas . silas : no , the kid 's not allowed to drive the car . he does n't even have a driver 's license . he 's got a learner 's permit . i ca n't believe he would be involved in this . patrick : well , it sure gives him plenty of motive to not report the accident , does n't it ? sam : kiki , anything to add ? patrick : please , kiki , if you know something , you need to tell us , okay ? my son died because of this accident . i need to know what happened . kiki : i actually came to the hospital to talk to silas about rafe . sam : why ? what happened ? kiki : he has n't been himself lately . i saw him this morning , and he was really upset . sam : you need to tell us everything you know . this is really important . if he 's in trouble , we have to help him . kiki : he said that he stole money out of your purse . silas : have you ever noticed any money missing ? sam : yes , actually . yes , i - i did . i thought i put it in another purse . silas : okay . so the kid stole some money , all right ? sam : no , silas . it was n't the first time . silas : what ? what do you -- sam : the cops brought him to the house a couple of weeks ago . apparently , he stole some money off of a street artist . silas : when was this ? sam : uh , danny 's birthday . he said he was just -- he -- he wanted to get danny a really nice birthday present . silas : why did n't you tell me ? sam : because i could n't . your wife showed up , and then everything got weird . i was gon na say something , but it slipped my mind . patrick : okay , i 'm sorry . can we get back to the accident ? if rafe was the one that drove us off the road , we need to find out . sam : oh , my god . yes . yes , it could have been rafe . tracy : hmm . i think that you are hearing things alice , which is not surprising , considering the number of blows you 've taken to the head . i think you should sue the wrestling federation . now , if you 'll excuse me ... alice : i know what i heard , and i 'm disappointed in you , ms . tracy -- trying to betray your own grandnephew ? tracy : i 'm doing nothing of the kind . alice : well , maybe you 're not in your right mind . maybe this behavior of mr. luke 's has sent you ' round the bend . but , still , that 's no excuse for accepting michael 's generosity and then using it against him to oust him from the company . tracy : it 's my company . he stole it from me . alice : it 's the family 's company , and i just ca n't abide by this . tracy : really ? what 's that supposed to mean ? alice : it means that mr. michael needs to know what 's going on here . tracy : you would n't dare . alice : [ scoffs ] he 's doing good work . he 's doing work that honors your father and his father . tracy : put down the phone , alice . alice : [ sighs ] michael : hello ? alice : mr. michael ? it 's alice gunderson . maxie : wait . wait . let him go ! morgan : get him out of here . levi : i 'm not going anywhere . michael : alice , you there ? alice : yes , sir . i 'm right here . uh , we need to talk . michael : yeah , sure . what 's up ? nathan : read him his rights and take him to the station . maxie : levi . levi , what are you doing ? are you okay ? levi : just making them work for it , dar -- maxie : do n't hurt him ! nathan : maxie , let them do their job . maxie : so they can abuse my boyfriend ? put him down ! nathan : stop making a nuisance of yourself . maxie : let me go ! levi : yeah , you give him what for , maxie ! huh ? how do you like that , west , eh ? nathan : max , you should n't have done that . morgan : yeah , that 's an understatement . you just assaulted a cop in front of two other cops . maxie : well , i did n't -- i did n't mean -- look , you should n't have walked in here like you had the right to tell levi and me what to do . nathan : maxie , i am a detective that was dispatched to the scene of a crime in progress . that is exactly my right . maxie : well , i think that that sucks , and you 're just a bully . and i was always taught to stand up to bullies , so you know what ? i 'm not going anywhere . nathan : i beg to differ . tracy : alice , i ca n't be held responsible if you do n't put down that phone . not another word . michael : alice , you still there ? alice : yes , sir . i 'm here . i 'm here at elq offices . there 's something going on here that you need to know about . michael : what are you talking about ? [ handcuffs click ] maxie : um , get this off of me . nathan : i will uncuff you when you calm down . maxie : morgan . morgan , you are my witness to police brutality . morgan : come on , dude . is this really necessary ? nathan : it 'd be helpful if you 'd stay back . stop moving . morgan : look , look , look . i get that she pushed you , but she 's not dangerous . you do n't really need the cuffs . [ handcuffs click ] maxie : [ sighs ] dante : i gave her strict instructions -- no more grandbaby talk until i give her the okay . lulu : she was excited . dante : i know , but her excitement comes across as pressure . lulu : i promise i do n't feel pressured . dante : that 's good because there 's no need to be . we -- we do n't have to rush into this and make any decisions . we take as much time as we need to figure this out . lulu : yeah . it feels so nice , knowing that we have something to figure out . dante : yeah . it does , does n't it ? lulu : [ chuckles ] sonny : you two are n't getting along ? well , i know that ava can be a little touchy sometimes , uh , but i know how thrilled she is to have you here . she wants as much face time as she can get with you . all right , so , i 'll let you two get back to it . if you need me , holler to max . all right ? oh , and , uh , delia ? delia : yes , mr. corinthos ? sonny : you know , it 's -- it 's gon na -- it 's gon na be great . i - i love that you 're staying here . have fun , girls .

[ sighs ] so , since i brought you into this world , i 'll be damned if i 'm gon na let that bastard take you out . patrick : sam , what is it ? sam : i remembered something . i ran into rafe in the park after gabriel died , and i told him about the baby , and he -- he lost it . i have never seen him like that . he was completely distraught , and i thought he was just emotional because the baby died , and it reminded him of losing his mother , but now i know . it must have been him . it must have been rafe who was driving the car .

[ sighs ] but what i 'd like to do is avoid this whole conflict . maxie , you 're a friend . i do n't want any trouble with you , and i - i definitely do n't want you arrested . maxie : that 's very sweet -- levi : an arrest would give us a media platform . the more attention we can draw to the cause , the better . morgan : yeah , it 's gon na be kind of hard to work the media from a jail cell . i do n't think you 're gon na have too many people tweeting on your behalf . maxie : he has a point . levi : but we have the moral high ground . this revitalization project is just a front for big business . michael : it 's an investment in the city of port charles . morgan : seriously , dude , there 's enough problems in the world . why are you trying to create them where they do n't exist ? kiki : it 's very simple . he 's trying to impress his girlfriend . levi : this is just so that elq can run out the honest , hardworking people of this neighborhood . morgan : what ? you mean the homeless people ? levi : you want to flatten the buildings and replace them with glass towers and wyndhams . i 'm going to stop it . max , i thought you 'd be by my side , but if you 're not committed to this , now is the time to back out . i 'll go it alone . what 'll it be ? tracy : look , i probably should get off the phone in case michael and kiki decide to , uh , rechristen the office . ugh . speaking of which ... luke , when are you coming home ? i know we have a cover to maintain , but i miss your snark . i - i ... i miss you . i - i 'm working as fast as i can . suffice to say the wheels are in motion , and soon enough , michael will be out of elq , and i will be reinstated as c.e.o . michael has absolutely no idea what 's coming . [ alice blows whistle ] tracy : whoa ! levi : well , maxie , are you going to stay and be an agent of change , or are you going to take a backseat while change erupts all around you ? maxie : [ sighs ] an agent of change . levi : that 's my ladylove ! [ chuckles ] morgan : oh , ladylove ? kiki : i - i got to get out of here . we 're not gon na get any work done here -- not as long as `` occupy port charles `` is occupying the brownstone . michael : yeah . kiki : and i really want to talk to my dad . i 'm worried about my cousin . michael : rafe ? what 's going on ? morgan : just -- i 'll -- i 'll fill him in . michael : fill me in on what ? morgan : oh , it 's fine . mikey and i -- we got -- we got it . kiki : okay . good luck with maxie and the revolutionary , okay ? michael : thanks . morgan : good luck with your , uh -- with your family . kiki : yeah . thanks for being there . i really liked our talk . morgan : yeah , if -- you know , if you need anything , just ... michael : let me know . kiki : okay . i will . olivia : sonny blamed his hookup with ava on connie ? dante : not exactly . look , you know how he gets in his head , and he -- i do n't even know what it is . he ca n't speak whatever he 's feeling or whatever it is , but carly came in . he was about to say something , but she came in and got him off the hook . olivia : well , to be fair , carly probably knows what 's going on in sonny 's head better than sonny does . dante : yeah . well , according to carly , sonny slept with ava to sabotage his relationship with you because he felt like he did n't mourn connie 's death long enough , and he got together with you too quickly , and he was trying to handle his own guilt . olivia : yeah ... no . no . no , carly is usually spot - on about this kind of thing , but this time , no , she 's -- she 's just dead wrong . sonny and i -- we went out of our way to always be so respectful of connie 's memory . and -- and -- if anyone had something to be guilty about , that would be me . dante : would you stop it ? you did n't do anything wrong . olivia : and i would go hare krishna before i 'd hang my bad behavior on my poor dead cousin , and so would sonny . no . no . he may have slept with ava , but even he 's not that far gone . no . no . this -- this excuse stinks like last week 's fish fry . shawn : this is for real ? sonny : carly tracked it down for me . [ clears throat ] shawn : ava killed connie , and aj figured it out . that 's when you walked in on them and found them together -- not what ava led you to believe . sonny : ava wanted me to see what she wanted me to see . aj 's dead because of it . i broke my promise to michael . and i shot aj for nothing . shawn : why did you -- why do you even let ava live ? sonny : why ? because , shawn , if i kill her ... i kill my own flesh and blood . delia : you 're telling me that , even if that little bun in the oven is sonny 's , he 's gon na ice you ? i mean , that 's a hell of a grudge for a guy to have against the mother of his baby . unh - unh . i do n't buy it . ava : never could get anything past you , mother . delia : all right , what 's going on here ? ava : [ sighs ] i did something ... that made sonny unhappy . delia : i 'm afraid to ask . what could you have done that made him so unhappy that he wants to kill you ? ava : i think it 's best if i do n't delve into that right now . delia : well , then do n't delve , but do n't end up like jimmy hoffa , either . why do n't you call the cops ? ava : if the cops were a viable option , i would have called them some time ago , believe me . delia : well , why are n't they ? ava : because if the police found out about this thing i did , they would be almost as unhappy with me as sonny is . delia : well , what kind of trouble have you gotten yourself into this time , ava ? ava : does n't get much worse . sonny is keeping me prisoner here until i give birth ... and then he is gon na kill me ... unless you save me . patrick : did you or did you not bring your car in for service the day after the accident ? silas : yeah , i did . patrick : you son of a bitch ! sam : no , no , stop . stop . silas : chill out . i brought my car in . i did n't run anybody off the road . sam : let 's just hear silas out , please . patrick : [ sighs ] silas : there 's not a lot to hear . one morning , i came down to my car . i saw i had a little bit of damage , and i just assumed it got sideswiped in my building 's parking lot . patrick : sideswiped in the garage , silas ? silas : hey , listen , i understand your -- i - i want to know what you think . i need to know what you think . do you think -- do you think there 's any chance i ran this guy 's family off the road -- that i killed a kid , and i just went home , and i parked my car , and i did n't bother telling anybody about it ? sam : no , no . of course i believe you . but , silas , we ca n't ignore the evidence . your car was put at the scene . i mean , the only -- the only question is , was someone else driving your car the night of the accident ? tracy : geez , alice . you practically gave me a heart attack . alice : oh , really ? is that even possible ? tracy : [ scoffs ] why , because i have no heart ? gee , alice , that joke was old when alan was in grade school . alice : well , some things never change , do they ? tracy : i thought you were supposed to be at mother 's camp . alice : well , camp is over for the day . thank god , because those kids really ran me ragged today . [ sighs ] i need to get back in `` dominator `` shape . tracy : hey , i know what -- there 's a gym downstairs . alice : i do n't think i can do that today . my stomach 's kind of hurting . besides , i just brought this by to show michael . the kids are doing a project for him to thank him for funding the camp . it 's a puppet show about the family . monica . [ high - pitched voice ] hello . i 'll take your temperature . tracy : i recognized the hair , if nothing else . alice : [ normal voice ] i like that one . oh , oh . and here 's one . look -- it 's me . do n't mess around with me . [ chuckles ] tracy : charming . alice : wait -- i got this one . here 's michael . tracy : the noble hero . how charming . alice : oh , and here 's my favorite . you . tracy : fangs ? alice : it 's the prototype . tracy : and what is the purpose of this little exercise ? alice : well , i suggested they do a story about the family coming together in adversity , but maybe a better idea would be a story about betrayal , being that i just heard you plotting to overthrow michael and oust him from the company . maxie & levi : [ chanting ] housing 's for the little guys , too . stop the greed of elq ! housing 's for the little guys , too . stop the greed of elq ! housing is for the little guys , too . stop the greed of elq ! morgan : the demo guys left these , so we 're in luck . michael : uh , no , thanks . um , what was kiki talking about ? i mean , what 's going on with her cousin ? morgan : he 's just -- he 's got problems . michael : what kind ? morgan : uh , it 's -- it 's hard to say . kiki 's not sure , but from the sound of it , she 's not worried for nothing . [ maxie & levi continue chanting ] patrick : so , if you were n't driving your car , then who was ? someone else had access to your car ? silas : slow down . sounds like -- patrick : it sounds like you 're avoiding the question . you were either driving the car , or you 're trying to protect the person that was . maxie : so , like , we 're not gon na pull a gandhi for the waterfront , are we ? because i have to be honest -- i do n't think have a hunger strike in me . levi : i have faith in you . maxie : that 's really sweet of you to say . is that a yes about the hunger strike ? michael : [ sighs ] look , maxie , this is your last chance , all right ? i really -- i really hope you take it . levi : is that a threat ? michael : [ sighs ] once the police show up , and there 's a crime in progress , they 'll take over . it 's gon na be completely out of my hands . levi : the pcpd can do their worst . not a one of them will sway maxie and me from our cause . nathan : not even me ? dante : sweetheart ? hey . how you doing ? lulu : is it over ? dante : yeah . yeah , the orderlies just brought you back in . they said you did pretty good . lulu : did it work ? dante : we do n't know yet . olivia : we 'll know soon -- just as soon as dr. chu gets here . dante : hey . i just want you to know you 're my hero . lulu : no . dante : no , you have been through the wringer for this family . lulu : it wo n't matter if the operation failed . dante : you know , all that matters is that you and rocco are okay . everything else is icing on the cake . [ knock on door ] [ door opens ] dr. chu : how 's the patient ? lulu : ready for the verdict . can i carry our baby ? shawn : ava 's pregnant ? sonny : yeah . we do n't know if the baby 's mine or morgan 's . shawn : well , i 'm sorry to hear that , sonny . sonny : not as sorry as i am ... or morgan or olivia . shawn : i 'm sure they have n't taken the news well . sonny : uh , no , no . they did n't take it well at all . so , uh , ava 's gon na , you know -- i 'm gon na keep her at my place 'cause i do n't want her taking off with the baby . i want the baby to be treated well . but as soon as , uh , the baby 's born ... she 's done . shawn : that 's a long time to cohabitate with her . sonny : well , you know , i 'm patient . she can pull -- ava can pull anything she wants . she can , you know , have her mother move in and -- you know , bring it . shawn : who are we talking about here ? sonny : her pip - squeak mother . she 's got , like , a bird nest . shawn : [ chuckles ] sonny : you know , and she 's , like -- her voice sounds like a blender . shawn : okay . sonny : she thought -- ava thought she could move her in , right , and it would drive me out of my head . but the joke 's on her because i can leave my house . ava ca n't . shawn : [ chuckles ] sonny : so she has to stay with her mother . delia : wait a second . you want my help ? ava : is that so strange ? delia : ava , we 've had , like , two serious conversations , and i 'm not blaming you . i mean , i gave you up for adoption , and you did n't find me till you were a grown - up , so it 's not like i helped you pick out your prom dress . but still , you wanted one thing from me , and i told you who your real father was , and we know how that turned out . ava : i do n't have anybody else . delia : well , what about julian , your brother ? i hear he 's some kind of hot shot . ava : bridge burned . delia : kiki ? ava : well , i 'm not exactly kiki 's favorite person at the moment , and even if i was , i - i ca n't risk involving her in this . delia : oh , so you 're willing to risk your mother ? ava : i 'm trying to protect my daughter ! i 'm sort of hoping you have the same instinct here ! delia : what if i do n't ? ! ava : i 'm dead . and i 'll tell you something -- sonny will be sure that my child never knows his grandmother . delia : well , you never let me meet kiki . ava : and i 'm sorry . and i 'm trying to make amends here . i do n't want to make the same mistake again . please ... mom . if you wo n't do it for me ... would you do it for the baby ? delia : okay , so if i help you ... what do you have in mind for me ? shawn : you know , this -- this play of ava 's -- the irritating mother . sonny : yeah . shawn : there 's got to be more to that . sonny : look , you do n't think i know that , you know , ava did n't just move her mother into the -- into my house for no reason ? i know she has an angle . i 'm just trying to figure out what it is . ava : sonny has an audio recording of a conversation betw -- between me and somebody else . delia : and you were talking about what ? ava : this thing that i did . delia : the thing -- the thing that made sonny so unhappy ? ava : yeah . but there 's another item on the recording ... about sonny ... equally damning . delia : you know , it 's a shame that you and sonny do n't get along because the two of you are made for each other . ava : [ chuckles ] if i could just get my hands on that recording , then i would have the leverage i need to stay alive after i have the baby . delia : okay , well , where does he keep it ? ava : i do n't have the foggiest idea . delia : [ sighs ] that 's not good . ava : but that 's -- that 's just where you come in . delia : oh , yeah , 'cause i 've been known to have a nose for valuable items . ava : i 've searched the house , but the problem is , my minders never leave me alone for very long . but that could work to your advantage because while sonny is watching me ... delia : no one 's watching me . ava : exactly . and sonny would never suspect u . he -- he just thinks that you 're here to annoy him . delia : and why would he think that ? kiki : hi , sam . dr. drake . silas , can i talk to you for a minute ? patrick : actually , we need to talk to you first , kiki . silas : my daughter 's -- patrick : were you driving your father 's car the night of a.j . quartermaine 's funeral ? kiki : yes , i was driving . is -- i 'm -- there was a lot of confusion on how i was getting to the funeral that night . morgan drove me here to the hospital so i could pick up your car . what 's going on ? sam : your father 's car was used to force patrick and his family off the road . kiki : so you think i 'm the one who did it ? sam : no , we are not saying that . no . patrick : what time did you get home from the funeral ? that accident happened about 9 : 20 . kiki : i got home at 10 : 00 , 10 : 30 . patrick : so you had plenty of time to run us off the road and then drop the car off at the gage ? kiki : i did n't even have the car that night . sam : you -- you -- just said that you picked the car up from the hospital . kiki : i know . i - i ended up driving , uh , your car from the hospital to our apartment , and then morgan drove me to the funeral , and michael drove me home . you can ask either one of them . sam : did you take the keys with you , or did you leave them at the apartment ? kiki : no , i left them at the apartment . patrick : was there anybody else at the apartment ? sam : [ sighs ] there was one other person , was n't there ? rafe . levi : well , if it is n't the blue heelers . maxie : i do n't know what that means , but i 'm sure he meant it respectfully . levi : you come to trample our rights , coppers ? silence our voices ? nathan : dunkleman , there is n't a gag big enough . dispatch said there were trespassers ? morgan : yeah , as you can see . michael : you know , they really did n't need to send a detective . levi : well , `` overkill `` is the pcpd 's middle name . nathan : yeah , i saw maxie 's name on the report and thought that i might come down and try and defuse the situation before anybody got in trouble . maxie : the trouble was here before we showed up . morgan : no , i was here trying to get work done . levi : this project is unfair , and wee gon na put a stop to it . michael : mr. dunkleman here seems to have confused himself with che guevara . morgan : yeah , uh , we think he 's trying to impress maxie . nathan : maxie , levi , you need to clear out , okay , before this situation gets out of control . levi : control is what we 're taking . we 're taking control for the people of the waterfront . morgan : dude , okay , name one person that you know on the waterfront . levi : and we 're taking control for maxie . she needs a distraction ever since you sabotaged her bid to see her baby . nathan : that was nobody but you , dunkleman . levi : this again ? maxie : levi had nothing to do with that . morgan : you have any idea what they 're talking about ? michael : no idea . look , maxie , nathan does n't want any trouble . morgan and i certainly do n't want any trouble . the only person who seems to want trouble here is your boyfriend . okay , can you just please take him and go ? levi : ignore me all you want , but maxie and i are staying right here . michael : this is private property . morgan : dude , we are renovating it . levi : you ca n't -- not while we 're squatting over it , with squatters ' rights . nathan : nobody is squatting over anything . maxie : how do you know ? nathan : because we share an apartment . okay , legally , you can not be living there and squatting here . so , vacate the premises now . levi : or ? nathan : or i 'll arrest you . levi : i dare you . nathan : done . [ handcuffs click ] lulu : what was the diagnosis ? dr. chu : it was what we 'd hoped . your issue was a septate uterus , not a bicornuate uterus . repairing it was a very straightforward procedure . you should be up and at 'em soon . olivia : so , there were no complications ? dr. chu : none . olivia : and no side effects to worry about ? lulu : the only side effect i care about is whether i can have a successful pregnancy . olivia : [ sighs ] lulu : can i ? dr. chu : after a short period of rest and recovery , i can see no reason why you should n't be able to carry an embryo to term . congratulations . olivia : did n't i tell you guys that everything was gon na work out all right ? dante : you always do . olivia : well , this time , i was right , right ? and now there can be a little brother or sister for -- for baby rocco . [ chuckling ] and a new grandbaby for me . i was gon na say , `` for me and sonny , `` but , um ... lulu : i 'm sure he 'll be just as pleased . olivia : yeah . i was gon na say maybe we should give him a call , but , uh , i guess he 's got enough to think about with his new baby , huh ? delia : and why would sonny think that i 'm here to annoy him ? ava : [ sighs ] he -- he made me his prisoner . i 'm in no position to stage some kind of escape . so i 'm -- i 'm doing everything i can to make him reconsider forcing me to stay here , and i 'm doing everything i can to drive him crazy . inviting you here was another tactic . delia : meaning you think i 'm a pest . ava : i did n't say that . delia : do i annoy you ? ava : you are doing me a huge , huge favor here . delia : well , i have n't agreed to do that yet , and maybe i should n't do it because you find me so damn annoying ! ava : please ! you have to help me . if you do n't , i 'm dead . and sonny will never , ever let you see this baby . delia : assuming that 's true , which , in your case , is a big , big assumption ... ava : just do n't abandon me again . i need you . sonny : [ sighs ] do n't tell me the family reunion has hit the skids . sam : rafe had access to your car , did n't he ? patrick : rafe -- his nephew rafe ? sam : yes . silas . silas : no , the kid 's not allowed to drive the car . he does n't even have a driver 's license . he 's got a learner 's permit . i ca n't believe he would be involved in this . patrick : well , it sure gives him plenty of motive to not report the accident , does n't it ? sam : kiki , anything to add ? patrick : please , kiki , if you know something , you need to tell us , okay ? my son died because of this accident . i need to know what happened . kiki : i actually came to the hospital to talk to silas about rafe . sam : why ? what happened ? kiki : he has n't been himself lately . i saw him this morning , and he was really upset . sam : you need to tell us everything you know . this is really important . if he 's in trouble , we have to help him . kiki : he said that he stole money out of your purse . silas : have you ever noticed any money missing ? sam : yes , actually . yes , i - i did . i thought i put it in another purse . silas : okay . so the kid stole some money , all right ? sam : no , silas . it was n't the first time . silas : what ? what do you -- sam : the cops brought him to the house a couple of weeks ago . apparently , he stole some money off of a street artist . silas : when was this ? sam : uh , danny 's birthday . he said he was just -- he -- he wanted to get danny a really nice birthday present . silas : why did n't you tell me ? sam : because i could n't . your wife showed up , and then everything got weird . i was gon na say something , but it slipped my mind . patrick : okay , i 'm sorry . can we get back to the accident ? if rafe was the one that drove us off the road , we need to find out . sam : oh , my god . yes . yes , it could have been rafe . tracy : hmm . i think that you are hearing things alice , which is not surprising , considering the number of blows you 've taken to the head . i think you should sue the wrestling federation . now , if you 'll excuse me ... alice : i know what i heard , and i 'm disappointed in you , ms . tracy -- trying to betray your own grandnephew ? tracy : i 'm doing nothing of the kind . alice : well , maybe you 're not in your right mind . maybe this behavior of mr. luke 's has sent you ' round the bend . but , still , that 's no excuse for accepting michael 's generosity and then using it against him to oust him from the company . tracy : it 's my company . he stole it from me . alice : it 's the family 's company , and i just ca n't abide by this . tracy : really ? what 's that supposed to mean ? alice : it means that mr. michael needs to know what 's going on here . tracy : you would n't dare . alice : [ scoffs ] he 's doing good work . he 's doing work that honors your father and his father . tracy : put down the phone , alice . alice : [ sighs ] michael : hello ? alice : mr. michael ? it 's alice gunderson . maxie : wait . wait . let him go ! morgan : get him out of here . levi : i 'm not going anywhere . michael : alice , you there ? alice : yes , sir . i 'm right here . uh , we need to talk . michael : yeah , sure . what 's up ?

put him down ! nathan : stop making a nuisance of yourself . maxie : let me go ! levi : yeah , you give him what for , maxie ! huh ? how do you like that , west , eh ? nathan : max , you should n't have done that . morgan : yeah , that 's an understatement . you just assaulted a cop in front of two other cops . maxie : well , i did n't -- i did n't mean -- look , you should n't have walked in here like you had the right to tell levi and me what to do . nathan : maxie , i am a detective that was dispatched to the scene of a crime in progress . that is exactly my right . maxie : well , i think that that sucks , and you 're just a bully . and i was always taught to stand up to bullies , so you know what ?

[ scene_break ] adam : this is between our father and me . victor : son , this tantrum of yours is rather badly timed , okay ? i just lost a very dear friend . adam : i 'm aware of that , and i 'm sorry about the timing , but i ca n't help the fact that my office was bugged . victoria : your office was bugged ? adam : this does n't concern you , victoria ! victoria : actually , i still own a substantial piece of newman enterprises , so if the c.e.o . 's office was bugged , it certainly does concern me . adam : well , good news for you ! because it was n't business . it was just personal -- a simple case of a father not trusting his son . victor : enough , you two . adam : no , no , no , no ! you do n't get to say `` enough . `` okay , dad ? you do n't get to call the shot on this one . i know you think you have the final word at newman , but when you stab me in the back like that -- come on ! you got to be kidding me ! no , i thought it was a partnership ! i thought that 's what we had . victor : what , a partnership with a bunch of mysterious harvard boys ? adam : i said you could talk to them any time you wanted . victor : what do you mean , `` talk to them `` ? who the hell do you think i am ? talk to fish hook ? adam : i gave you names . i gave you contracts . victor : are you out of your mind ? are you trying to pull the wool over my eyes ? who the hell do you think i am ? adam : i just believed that it could be different this time , dad , just this one time . guess what , victoria . you do n't have to be jealous anymore of this ... father - son camaraderie . because it does n't exist . it never did . it was just a figment of our imaginations . just another typical , played - out victor newman move . you want to know something , dad ? when this is all said and done and all the dust clears , i guarantee you i will be the last man standing .

[ clears throat ] all right , fine . so -- so austin leaves carrie . are you guys supposed to just have some great new beginning ? abigail : yeah . you have never seen us together . melanie : okay , i 've seen enough . abigail : melanie ... he 's my soul mate . we are so good together , so right , and -- and we both feel it . we did n't mean for it to happen this way , but it did . melanie : i do n't think he felt it when he pushed you out of the way to go after carrie . abigail : he was feeling guilty . he was confused and upset , okay ? he 'll get over it . melanie : so your dreams come true . he leaves carrie . you guys get married . there 's an old saying , abby -- if you marry a married man who cheated on his wife , you married a married man who cheated on his wife . abigail : maybe that was your story , melanie , but it 's not gon na be like that for us . melanie : how do you know ? abigail : because ... one day he and i will finally be together , and everything 's gon na be perfect . he 'll -- he 'll teach , and i 'll finish school , and we 'll live in a cute little apartment somewhere , and all this bad stuff -- all this bad stuff will be behind us , because we 'll be able to love each other without feeling wrong for it . we can just be together , and then the first time that we make love , it will be amazing . melanie : wait . what do you mean the first time you make love ? abigail : that 's not what i said . melanie : you never slept with him . abigail : i mean when we make love for the first time together , as a couple . melanie : no , no , no , no . you just got so wrapped up in your little fantasy that you finally told me the truth for once . abigail : no , austin knows what happened . melanie : you said he 'd been drinking . how much was he drinking ? wow . so you have austin thinking this too . and now carrie knows ? abigail : you 're twisting my words around -- melanie : stop lying to me ! abigail : all right . fine , all right . it did n't happen . melanie : what ? abigail : it did n't happen . melanie : what did ? abigail : [ sighs ] we were kissing , and it was about to happen . but then he just -- he -- he passed out . melanie : and then ? abigail : and then in the morning , i realized that he -- he did n't remember very much . melanie : so what did you do ? abigail , what did you do ? abigail : he thought that we made love , and i - i did n't want to lose him , melanie , so i just let him believe that we did . [ scene_break ] austin : so you really think i can fix this ? billie : well , i think you better try . austin : how ? how ? unless carrie gets amnesia and forgets what happened , how does she get over this ? billie : time has a way of healing . it really does , almost anything . austin : [ chuckles ] come on . come on , sis . i mean , you heard me when i came in here and i thought you were carrie . you know how lame that sounded ? [ sighs ] billie : well , you said you only slept with abigail once . it 's not like you 're a -- it 's not like you were having an affair with her . austin : carrie and i had an argument , so what did i do ? i went out , and i got loaded , and i slept with this beautiful , young girl who works for me . ready ? i 'm your husband . how do you get past it ? billie : well , you think about all the good things , and what 's right about the relationship . austin : i 'm supposed to convince carrie of how much i love her when what i did was the direct opposite of love . in fact , it took our love , and it shredded it . [ scene_break ] carrie : do n't get me wrong -- i 'm still furious with austin and hurt and confused . what he did was disgusting . but before this happened , we were -- we were already having problems , and i know that 's not news to you . rafe : every couple has problems . carrie : he was the love of my life . unfortunately , sami felt the same way . rafe : yeah , sami told me about some of the things that she did . carrie : when we got married and we got past all -- all that , i thought this was it . this is all i 'm ever gon na need . then i got older , and being married to austin was n't enough . law school was something that i had always dreamed about , and i finally gave it a shot , and i started learning all these things about myself , and i started looking at austin differently too . and i started wondering if the woman i had become was still wanting the same things as the girl who fell in love with him . and those thoughts -- so disloyal . i never admitted them to anyone ... not even to myself . rafe : go on . carrie : but then we decided to move here , and i thought , `` yeah , that 's the answer -- come back to salem , and i 'll fall in love with austin all over again . `` but that 's not what happened , and austin cheated . but in my heart , i was already cheating on him .

[ keys clatter ] john : i 'll stay here and do whatever you want . just let her go back to her husband . stefano : i 'm sorry , but , uh , for this job , i need the both of you . and when the time comes , right , you will get all your instructions . hope : aah ! gah ! [ exhales deeply ] [ scene_break ] billie : listen , i know you feel like you 've lost all hope and there 's no putting it back together , but i do n't want you to think that . and lucky for you , i 'm not going anywhere . austin : thanks , coach . billie : and i 'm not giving up until you and carrie are back together , period . austin : and you know what ? that is the first piece of good news that i 've heard in a long time . you know what else ? i 'm so happy to have my sister back . [ both laughing ] austin : [ sighs ] [ scene_break ] melanie : so it does n't bother you that austin thinks he slept with you even though he did n't ? abigail : of course it bothers me . melanie : okay , good . abigail : i did n't mean to say it . i was n't thinking . i just heard it come out of my mouth , and then i did n't know how to get it back . but the longer this ... melanie : lie . abigail : yeah , the longer this lie went on , i felt like it was ... melanie : real . do you hear yourself ? austin and carrie are in so much trouble because of something he did n't do . abigail : melanie , i keep telling you that they do n't belong together . she totally took him for granted , and -- and when things got bad between them , she went to somebody else . so , yes , yes , it was a lie , and i took a huge risk . you 're right -- i lied . but you know what ? that lie could 've gotten him out of something that has gone completely wrong . melanie : okay . you do n't have a lot of experience lying . i - i do ... a lot . so the thing about lies is they will always come back and bite you in the ass . abigail : so what am i supposed to do ? melanie : you tell him ... now . [ scene_break ] rafe : i 'm not sure i should be hearing this . carrie : please just let me try to get through it . austin sensed that i was pulling away , and that 's why he went off and did what he did with abigail . he -- he could feel what i was feeling , and it made him angry . rafe : mm , and it justified him cheating with a student . carrie : he felt betrayed , and i understand why . i was falling in love with someone else . i was falling in love with you . | abby and melanie were at the town square . abby was looking for austin and melanie wanted to know if abby was nuts . melanie advised her to leave austin and carrie alone . abby said that she did n't mean for carrie to find out the way she did . abby wanted to find austin so she could talk to him , but melanie warned her that she was the last one that he wanted to see . austin was in his hotel room and thought he was pouring his heart out to carrie only to find billie in his bed . carrie was in the office crying and rafe walked in and saw her . he wanted to know what was wrong and she hugged him . stefano ended up being the one that spotted john and hope at the courthouse . stefano was holding on to john and hope 's passports . stefano wanted to know if the passports were what they were looking for . he dangled them in front of john and hope . hope thought that stefano was responsible for what happened to bo . stefano informed her that he would have handled him differently from that . stefano apologized for what happened to bo , but he warned hope and john that they wo n't be able to get a flight out of alamania . melanie told abby that austin and carrie might have made up by now . abby reminded melanie that she did n't forgive philip when he cheated on her . melanie said that was a different situation . austin told billie everything that happened with carrie and abby . meanwhile , carrie explained to rafe what happened between austin and abby . abby explained to melanie that carrie was the reason why she and austin were able to get together . abby blamed carrie 's actions for everything , but melanie was convinced of that . melanie informed abby that austin did n't have to love her just because she loves him . hope and john wanted to know why stefano was targeting them . john thought he did it to go after bo . stefano informed them that he was surprised by bo 's attack . hope begged him to let them go so she could be by bo 's side , but sirens were heard . stefano warned them that it was too late . austin continued to explain to a shocked billie how abby fell in love with him . billie told him that he blew it big time . carrie and rafe continued to talk about what austin did . rafe thought that austin might have been with abby because they almost kissed . carrie did n't think that was reason enough to jump into bed with another woman . carrie said that she was married to austin for five years and was with him for most of her adult life . she feels like she does n't know austin anymore . carrie hugged rafe . | <s>[INST] melanie : slow down . abigail . abigail . are we not getting something to eat ? abigail : i thought that he would be here . he 's always here . i should just go check the hotel . melanie : i 'm sorry -- are you looking for austin ? abigail : of course i 'm looking for austin . melanie : are you nuts ? abigail : can you stop talking to me like that , please ? you 're supposed to be my friend . melanie : i am your friend . i 'm your friend that let you trick me into going to some lodge so you could stalk a married man . abigail : i was n't stalking him . melanie : i 'm also that same friend that did n't get a bathroom break when you gunned it back down from that lodge after you told his wife you slept with him . abigail : will you -- will you stop it and give me a break , please ? melanie : you need to leave them alone , abby . you need to let them work this out . abigail : work this out ? melanie : yes . abigail : have you not heard anything i said to you on the way here ? their marriage is probably already over . carrie was furious when she found out about austin and me . melanie : and you 're okay with that ? abigail : no , i 'm not okay with it . i did n't mean for her to find out this way -- i did n't . but it 's better now . it 's -- it 's better this way . melanie : better for who ? abigail : everyone . it 's better for everyone . now , i have listened to you , but i need to go find austin now . melanie : abigail , no ! this is your fault . you 're the last person austin is going to want to see .

[ laughs ] oh , for goodness ' sake . i am sorry about bo . but the way things are going , i 'm afraid that , uh , you 're not gon na be able to get a flight to be by his side . [ scene_break ] abigail : you are wrong about austin . melanie : abigail ... [ groans in frustration ] when carrie left , austin jumped in a car and drove after her , okay ? he did n't hang out to talk to you . he 's probably begging for her forgiveness right now . abigail : when philip cheated on you , did you forgive him ? melanie : that is not the same thing . abigail : i do n't see how it 's any different , melanie . melanie : i can not believe we 're having this conversation . abigail : why ? why ? because i 'm actually fighting for the man that i love ? melanie : then you 're gon na have to fight really , really hard . do you remember him pushing you out of the way to get after carrie ? abigail : that 's different . that is because he felt guilty . but soon -- soon , when his marriage is over , he wo n't have anything to feel guilty about anymore .

[ scene_break ] abigail : you keep sticking up for carrie , but the truth is , she stopped giving a damn about austin the second that they moved back to salem . melanie : you do n't know that . abigail : she took a job defending john , when she knew that austin was working with the fbi to make a case against him . melanie : so ? abigail : so she was never around . she was always busy with rafe hernandez . he saw them kissing . melanie : i know that . abigail : so then stop acting like i 'm a slut . melanie : you 're not a slut . abigail : i never would 've even had a chance with austin if it was n't for carrie having this thing for rafe . i mean , melanie , austin needed someone , and i was there for him . melanie : what happens when he wants to go back to his wife ? abigail : he and i built something together -- something good , something strong . and that just is n't gon na go away . we did n't mean for it to happen , but we -- it -- it did . melanie : okay , i know you believe this . but i think you 're just seeing what you want to see -- abigail : no , no . melanie : yes ! abigail ... yes ! look , you and austin would never have happened had he not had problems with his wife . i 'm sorry . i 've been here . i 've done this . abigail : done what ? melanie : make something out of nothing . abigail : that is not what i 'm doing , melanie . melanie : i believe you love him , okay ? i do . that -- that does n't mean he loves you back . [ scene_break ] hope : ej 's the mayor . you got what you wanted . why are you doing this to us ? stefano : you are the ones that broke into a government building with just two pieces of gum and a cord , all right ? so i heard that there was something going on , so i came here to investigate . hope : with several of your goons . john : because you 're such a stickler for law and order . stefano : i think i like you better without a brain . john : oh , cut the crap , will you ? you know , we would n't even be here if it were n't for you . you set this whole thing up , and i 'm scratching my head why . was it just to go after bo ? stefano : oh , as i said , what happened to bo is as much a surprise to me as it is to you . hope : stefano , my husband needs me right now . if you have ever loved anyone in your life , please ... please do n't stop me from going to him .

[ scene_break ] rafe : i do n't think seeing who can hurt who the most is a very good idea . carrie : so you 're gon na take the high road again , huh ? rafe : i 've had more time to deal with what sami did . this is brand - new for you . carrie : i do n't see how time is gon na make much of a difference to me . i just found out that the man i was gon na spend the rest of my life with has just played me for a complete fool . i do n't see how that hurt 's gon na go away . rafe : yeah . yeah , i hear you , because when i think about what sami did with ej after everything that he has done to her ... it makes me want to smash his head against the sidewalk . carrie : and what do you want to do to her ? rafe : i try not to think about that . carrie : [ chuckles ] how 's that going for you ? rafe : eh , not very good . i just do n't want to make my life any worse ... than it already is . carrie : you worry about being a good person . rafe : so do you . carrie : i used to . rafe : what are you saying ? carrie : on the drive over here , i just kept thinking about one thought , and i kept pushing it to the back of my brain , and something that you were bringing up earlier , how much of this is my fault -- rafe : no , no , no , no , that 's not what i said . i did not say that this is your fault , carrie . carrie : thanks . but if i 'm totally honest with myself , really honest , i ca n't say that austin is totally to blame . [ scene_break ] billie : so there 's nothing you can do to fix it . you 're just a bum , and there 's nothing you can do . austin : is n't that what you said ? billie : i did n't say there was nothing you could do . austin : you know what kind of person carrie is . i crossed a line with her that can not be uncrossed . billie : no , i do know what kind of person carrie is . she 's the first person i met when i was in salem . she was my roomie . she 's my sister - in - law , for god sakes . austin : yeah , i know . i know . i know . billie : okay , so you 're going through a bad time in your marriage , and this young , beautiful girl falls for you ... hard , and you lost your mind for a little while . austin : and it was n't even a little while . it was one night , sis -- it was one stupid night . billie : well , you 're not a serial cheater . you 're a loving husband . and carrie -- she 'll remember that , as soon as she 's done hating your guts .

[ scene_break ] melanie : abigail , i do n't care how special it felt to you . sleeping with austin was wrong , and you know it . abigail : austin had just seen carrie kissing rafe . he had been drinking . he was upset . melanie : okay , so it was your job to keep your head on straight . abigail : melanie , stop . i do n't want to argue with you about this anymore . melanie : okay . [ clears throat ] all right , fine . so -- so austin leaves carrie . are you guys supposed to just have some great new beginning ? abigail : yeah . you have never seen us together . melanie : okay , i 've seen enough . abigail : melanie ... he 's my soul mate . we are so good together , so right , and -- and we both feel it . we did n't mean for it to happen this way , but it did . melanie : i do n't think he felt it when he pushed you out of the way to go after carrie . abigail : he was feeling guilty . he was confused and upset , okay ? he 'll get over it . melanie : so your dreams come true . he leaves carrie . you guys get married . there 's an old saying , abby -- if you marry a married man who cheated on his wife , you married a married man who cheated on his wife . abigail : maybe that was your story , melanie , but it 's not gon na be like that for us . melanie : how do you know ? abigail : because ... one day he and i will finally be together , and everything 's gon na be perfect . he 'll -- he 'll teach , and i 'll finish school , and we 'll live in a cute little apartment somewhere , and all this bad stuff -- all this bad stuff will be behind us , because we 'll be able to love each other without feeling wrong for it . we can just be together , and then the first time that we make love , it will be amazing . melanie : wait . what do you mean the first time you make love ? abigail : that 's not what i said . melanie : you never slept with him . abigail : i mean when we make love for the first time together , as a couple . melanie : no , no , no , no . you just got so wrapped up in your little fantasy that you finally told me the truth for once . abigail : no , austin knows what happened . melanie : you said he 'd been drinking . how much was he drinking ? wow . so you have austin thinking this too . and now carrie knows ? abigail : you 're twisting my words around -- melanie : stop lying to me ! abigail : all right . fine , all right . it did n't happen . melanie : what ? abigail : it did n't happen . melanie : what did ? abigail : [ sighs ] we were kissing , and it was about to happen . but then he just -- he -- he passed out . melanie : and then ? abigail : and then in the morning , i realized that he -- he did n't remember very much . melanie : so what did you do ? abigail , what did you do ? abigail : he thought that we made love , and i - i did n't want to lose him , melanie , so i just let him believe that we did . [ scene_break ] austin : so you really think i can fix this ? billie : well , i think you better try . austin : how ? how ? unless carrie gets amnesia and forgets what happened , how does she get over this ? billie : time has a way of healing . it really does , almost anything . austin : [ chuckles ] come on . come on , sis . i mean , you heard me when i came in here and i thought you were carrie . you know how lame that sounded ? [ sighs ] billie : well , you said you only slept with abigail once . it 's not like you 're a -- it 's not like you were having an affair with her . austin : carrie and i had an argument , so what did i do ? i went out , and i got loaded , and i slept with this beautiful , young girl who works for me . ready ? i 'm your husband . how do you get past it ? billie : well , you think about all the good things , and what 's right about the relationship . austin : i 'm supposed to convince carrie of how much i love her when what i did was the direct opposite of love . in fact , it took our love , and it shredded it . [ scene_break ] carrie : do n't get me wrong -- i 'm still furious with austin and hurt and confused . what he did was disgusting . but before this happened , we were -- we were already having problems , and i know that 's not news to you . rafe : every couple has problems . carrie : he was the love of my life . unfortunately , sami felt the same way . rafe : yeah , sami told me about some of the things that she did . carrie : when we got married and we got past all -- all that , i thought this was it . this is all i 'm ever gon na need . then i got older , and being married to austin was n't enough . law school was something that i had always dreamed about , and i finally gave it a shot , and i started learning all these things about myself , and i started looking at austin differently too . and i started wondering if the woman i had become was still wanting the same things as the girl who fell in love with him . and those thoughts -- so disloyal . i never admitted them to anyone ... not even to myself . rafe : go on . carrie : but then we decided to move here , and i thought , `` yeah , that 's the answer -- come back to salem , and i 'll fall in love with austin all over again . `` but that 's not what happened , and austin cheated . but in my heart , i was already cheating on him . [ scene_break ] stefano : [ sighs ] why are you running ? i told you that you are safe .

[ exhales deeply ] [ scene_break ] billie : listen , i know you feel like you 've lost all hope and there 's no putting it back together , but i do n't want you to think that . and lucky for you , i 'm not going anywhere . austin : thanks , coach . billie : and i 'm not giving up until you and carrie are back together , period . austin : and you know what ? that is the first piece of good news that i 've heard in a long time . you know what else ? i 'm so happy to have my sister back . [ both laughing ] austin : [ sighs ] [ scene_break ] melanie : so it does n't bother you that austin thinks he slept with you even though he did n't ? abigail : of course it bothers me . melanie : okay , good . abigail : i did n't mean to say it . i was n't thinking . i just heard it come out of my mouth , and then i did n't know how to get it back . but the longer this ... melanie : lie . abigail : yeah , the longer this lie went on , i felt like it was ... melanie : real . do you hear yourself ? austin and carrie are in so much trouble because of something he did n't do . abigail : melanie , i keep telling you that they do n't belong together . she totally took him for granted , and -- and when things got bad between them , she went to somebody else . so , yes , yes , it was a lie , and i took a huge risk . you 're right -- i lied . but you know what ? that lie could 've gotten him out of something that has gone completely wrong . melanie : okay . you do n't have a lot of experience lying . i - i do ... a lot . so the thing about lies is they will always come back and bite you in the ass . abigail : so what am i supposed to do ? melanie : you tell him ... now . [ scene_break ] rafe : i 'm not sure i should be hearing this . carrie : please just let me try to get through it . austin sensed that i was pulling away , and that 's why he went off and did what he did with abigail . he -- he could feel what i was feeling , and it made him angry . rafe : mm , and it justified him cheating with a student . carrie : he felt betrayed , and i understand why . i was falling in love with someone else . i was falling in love with you .Summarize.[/INST]abby and melanie were at the town square . abby was looking for austin and melanie wanted to know if abby was nuts . melanie advised her to leave austin and carrie alone . abby said that she did n't mean for carrie to find out the way she did . abby wanted to find austin so she could talk to him , but melanie warned her that she was the last one that he wanted to see . austin was in his hotel room and thought he was pouring his heart out to carrie only to find billie in his bed . carrie was in the office crying and rafe walked in and saw her . he wanted to know what was wrong and she hugged him . stefano ended up being the one that spotted john and hope at the courthouse . stefano was holding on to john and hope 's passports . stefano wanted to know if the passports were what they were looking for . he dangled them in front of john and hope . hope thought that stefano was responsible for what happened to bo . stefano informed her that he would have handled him differently from that . stefano apologized for what happened to bo , but he warned hope and john that they wo n't be able to get a flight out of alamania . melanie told abby that austin and carrie might have made up by now . abby reminded melanie that she did n't forgive philip when he cheated on her . melanie said that was a different situation . austin told billie everything that happened with carrie and abby . meanwhile , carrie explained to rafe what happened between austin and abby . abby explained to melanie that carrie was the reason why she and austin were able to get together . abby blamed carrie 's actions for everything , but melanie was convinced of that . melanie informed abby that austin did n't have to love her just because she loves him . hope and john wanted to know why stefano was targeting them . john thought he did it to go after bo . stefano informed them that he was surprised by bo 's attack . hope begged him to let them go so she could be by bo 's side , but sirens were heard . stefano warned them that it was too late . austin continued to explain to a shocked billie how abby fell in love with him . billie told him that he blew it big time . carrie and rafe continued to talk about what austin did . rafe thought that austin might have been with abby because they almost kissed . carrie did n't think that was reason enough to jump into bed with another woman . carrie said that she was married to austin for five years and was with him for most of her adult life . she feels like she does n't know austin anymore . carrie hugged rafe .</s> | 6,928 |

bill : forrester can be pretty dense , but he has to know that you did n't want to intentionally hurt thomas . me , on the other hand ... brooke : he could have died , bill . bill : oh , gee , that would have been a real loss . but i 'm glad that you do n't have to live with that . brooke : i do n't think ridge is ever gon na be able to forgive me for that . i mean , i know what it must have looked like . i was running at thomas . i thought that he was attacking my daughter , but hope said that he was just apologizing . bill : so what ? you see a lunatic with his hands on your daughter on the edge of a cliff , and you 've got to act . fast . brooke : ridge does n't see him that way . he does n't see any of this the way that i do . ridge : everyone involved in this travesty is gon na pay . flo : as they should . i 'm not asking for forgiveness , and i do n't want you to take pity on me . but you should know what really happened . i did n't know what reese had done or what he had planned . i did n't know hope or steffy -- ridge : you did know that beth was n't your child , and you signed adoption papers . flo : reese told me i was helping . ridge : you stole a baby , twice . once from hope , once from steffy . flo : you 're right . i should have told the truth . i wanted to so many times , but ... ridge : but you did n't want to give up this new life of yours . flo : no , no , no . that 's -- that 's where you do n't get it . i -- i could n't enjoy this new life that i had because i hated myself every single day for not having the courage to speak up . but , in the end , it was your son who kept me quiet . bill : unbelievable . ridge blames you . brooke : yeah . he thinks i reacted the way i did because i hate his son . bill : well , then he does n't know you at all . or he does n't know thomas . brooke : well , he still sees thomas as a little boy . he does n't see him as a many that would do anything to get my daughter to marry him . bill : and i 'm sure he 's really playing up the helpless sympathy card , laying in that hospital bed . brooke : i do n't feel sorry for him , bill . and i certainly am not going to thank him for showing me mercy . not after what he did to our children . vision 's improved . thomas : the headache 's not . you 'll have that for a while , along with a few aches and pains , considering your broken ribs . but , with the proper treatment and rest , your symptoms should improve . thomas : i 'm just happy to be alive . you should be , thomas . you survived a hell of a fall . this could have been an extremely tragic accident . thomas : hey , i -- brooke : get away from my daughter ! thomas : i just -- brooke : get away from her ! hope : thomas ! ridge : thomas made a bad decision , keeping your secret , but he did n't steal beth . flo : but he did n't want hope to have her back . look , ridge ... i know that thomas is your son , and you care about him , obviously , but ... thomas is n't just a bystander in all of this . he married hope , and he knew the truth , and he chose not to tell her . and he threatened to destroy our lives in anyone wanted to tell her the truth . and after what happened to emma , i mean ... ridge : wait , what does that mean , `` what happened to emma ? `` flo : oh , you -- you don't ... there are a lot of people who think that thomas is responsible for emma 's death . bill : using his weakened state to tug at those heartstrings . so freakin ' transparent . brooke : it did n't work on hope , thank god . but i could see it had a huge impact on ridge . bill : yeah , of course it did . conned by his own kid , yet again . brooke : thomas is his son . i can see why he would want to see the best in him . i get it ! but i ca n't ! not after what he did to hope and liam . it was cruel and it was calculated . and there 's no way i 'm going to apologize for misjudging him because i did n't ! ridge is the one who should open his eyes and see things clearly . bill : [ scoffs ] maybe his ears are n't working , either . you 've told him what happened , and he wants to apologize ? brooke : yes , he wants me to thank thomas for not accusing me of attempted murder . really ? i -- i 'm not a criminal ! thomas is the one acting like a criminal . bill : wow , and i guess this fall did n't have any impact on him , either , if he 's still trying to make inroads with hope . brooke : it was frightening . you should have heard the things that was saying , how much he still loves her , how he hopes that she can forgive him one day ... bill : my nephew and granddaughter were only part of his plan . there is something seriously wrong with thomas , brooke , and if ridge ca n't see that , there 's something wrong with him . thomas is a sociopath . brooke : hope and liam , they are so happy right now . they have their lives back on track , they 're raising beth . the last thing they need is to think about thomas . bill : you leave him to me . brooke : wait . bill ... i 'm not asking you to do anything . bill : well , somebody has to do something . ridge : you are in no position to make accusations against anyone . flo : i 'm just telling you this because thomas is your son , and i think that you need to know . ridge : i need to know what ? what do i need to know ? you think you have something to tell me that i do n't know already ? what could you possibly say ? you lie the moment you open your mouth . from the day you got here , you lie . that 's all you do ! sir ! ridge : i 'm sorry . flo : i think thomas did more than lie to keep this secret . ridge : no . flo : maybe you just do n't know that side of him . i mean , you 're his dad . why -- why would you see that side of him ? but , if you did , you would understand why i kept quiet . ridge : okay , i 'm sorry for interrupting you . so , what is it , exactly ? thomas is responsible for everything ? he 's responsible for emma 's death , for all your lies ? what is it ? flo : he let hope believe that her baby was dead so that she would marry him . he was so obsessed with her that nothing else mattered , not even his own son ! and what do you think someone like that would do if someone got in their way of getting what they want ? because that 's exactly what emma was trying to do , and look what happened to her . she ended up dead . i think your son has some serious issues , ridge . and i think that he 's guilty of a very serious crime . we 're done . guard , i 'm ready . [ door unlocks ] bill : ah ! there 's our bright - eyed boy ! how 's the boo - boo ? thomas : bill ? bill : you recognize me ! that 's good . you 're doing fine . thomas : what do you want ? bill : your full attention . what you did to my granddaughter , her family , my family ... it upsets me . the way you treated my nephew , stealing hope from liam ... you know , i 've been working on myself . number - one priority -- keep the temper in check . everyone says i should do that , and they 're right . they 're right . and i 've made progress . now , normally , i would have walked in here and choked you out . now , i still could , and god knows you deserve it . but i 'm not gon na do that , and i am so proud of myself ! but , on the other hand .. i 'll be damned if i can let this go . that 's what you 'd like , right ? just gon na smooth it over , sweep it under the rug ... apologize for your mistake and move on ? a mistake , right ? i mean , that is what you want to call it . just blink once for yes , twice for no . never mind . just keep lying there , looking stupid . well , this mistake is going to have consequences . and that 's not a concept you 're entirely familiar with . and i ca n't wait to teach you how it works . katie : so ... thomas falls off a cliff , and suddenly , he 's a new man ? brooke : he realized what he was doing , and he regrets it all . katie : so what , he does n't turn you into detective sanchez and that proves that he 's sincere ? brooke : i wish i could believe him . i really do . katie : well , for the sake of your marriage , you need to deal with this . thomas has been a source of tension for a while . brooke : yes , and it got worse since the accident . ridge and i have never been this far apart . and i still ca n't believe what thomas has done to hope . there is a dark side to him , katie , darker than we 've ever seen before . he got as close to hope as he possibly could , and then he watched her suffer . i ca n't forgive that . even for ridge . i 'm not gon na pretend that that 's okay . thomas : are you threatening me ? bill : threatening you ? [ chuckles ] if i was threatening you , you would n't have to ask . but , you know , there you go . you see how easy it is for these things to get misinterpreted . like when brooke saw you on the edge of the cliff with your hands on her daughter . now , if hope really had nothing to fear from you , then you have nothing to fear from me . thomas : i 'm supposed to be resting . bill : and hope was supposed to be a mother , and liam and hope were supposed to be parents . thomas : i did n't steal their baby from them . bill : you did everything you could to make sure she would n't get her back , did n't you ? so , as far as i 'm concerned , it 's the same difference . i mean , i understand how you can fixated on something and lose perspective , but you -- [ laughs ] i mean , you -- you took this to a whole nother level . you keep a baby from its mother , you let parents and their families mourn the loss of a child that you know full well is alive ? well , my man , that 's just a whole nother level of sick . thomas : look , bill , i do n't expect forgiveness , but i apologized to hope . bill : yeah , i know what you did , you twisted freak . you laid it on thick , your poured it out your black heart . well , nobody 's buying it . no , that 's not entirely true . ridge , he -- he 's going with it , but he has to . otherwise , he has to admit to himself that his firstborn son is an obsessive lunatic , a complete loser . now , i know you did n't start this deception , but you did n't do anything to bring it to an end , either . reese and flo , jail . zoe and xander , fired from forrester . everybody is paying a price , but here 's tommy the choo- choo . `` i think i can get away it . i think i can get away it . `` all wrapped up in his father 's ignorance and his own lame excuses . i talked to brooke . and ridge is actually defending you . well , you ca n't defend the indefensible . and i 'm gon na make sure that you pay for what you 've done . ridge : spencer ! there 's no need for you to be here . what is this ? katie : ridge thinks this is okay ? because that 's not how he acted when douglas exposed his father 's lies . brooke : ridge is n't excusing thomas for what he did , but he wants me to thank him for not sending me to jail . katie : what ? brooke : can you believe it ? this is the man that i love , the man that i married , the man that i should rely on . i do n't want to get in a big argument with ridge , i don't . but i do n't trust thomas . in fact , i think that he 's trying to manipulate us all over again . i let him walk away one too many times . i 'm not gon na do that anymore . there 's a lesson to be learned here , and thomas has to learn it . bill : your son stuck a knife through the heart of my family . you do n't think i should object to that , ridge ? ridge : not while he 's in a hospital bed , no . bill : i grieved the loss of my granddaughter . my entire family grieved her loss . ridge : and you should be angry , at buckingham , at flo , but not my son . bill : buckingham and flo have been arrested . they 're paying a price , and he 's gon na have to do the same . ridge : that 's completely different . he kept a secret , that 's all he did . bill : that 's the only thing he cared about , was keeping the secret . are you kidding me ? you see , this is what you do . it 's what you do every time your kid screws up . you give him a blankie and a ba - ba and you coddle him . thomas : look , i can explain . ridge : let me handle it . bill : yeah , let daddy handle it . you just sit there and suck your thumb . but , you know what ... you ca n't protect him this time . i 've been talking to justin . seems there might be a connection between thomas and emma 's death . now , if that proves to be true ... well , he 's gon na have a lot bigger problems on his hand than just keeping a secret . ridge : that is a very serious accusation , bill . bill : one i do n't take lightly . now , come on , forrester , you know me . i do n't bluff , and i do n't blink . ridge : yeah . you can go now . bill : and your mea culpa is n't gon na do jack -- ridge : i said get out ! that 's enough ! bill : i 'm gon na make sure that you rot ! what the hell is going on in here ? mr. forrester , i can hear you out in the hall . ridge : he should n't be here . your son suffered a serious head injury ! he needs rest and quiet . bill : yeah , you know what , doc , you 're absolutely right . you know , ridge ... ridge got out of control , started yelling . this poor kid here , he has a -- he has a headache . listen to the doc , get your rest . and i 'm gon na give you another piece of advice . well , really , it 's more a dose of reality . daddy ca n't save you from this one . daddy ca n't save you from this or from me . justice will be done . i 'm gon na see to it . you 're not doing your son any favors protecting him , ridge . he 's got to learn a lesson . he 's got to pay for what he 's done . to liam , to hope , to steffy ... ridge : i - i know . bill , i 'm worried about him . and not just because of this fall , but because of the decisions he 's made . bill : well , i 'm glad that we agree . he 's got to pay for the crime . ridge : what is the crime ? he kept a secret . it 's awful , but he -- he 's trying to make amends . bill : oh , come on , ridge , you believe him ? you know , i do n't know what 's worse , thomas and his heinous manipulations , or you having raised this poor excuse of a man . ridge : there it is . my son almost died . bill : because of his own actions , the same actions that are gon na land him in jail . now , keeping a secret was one thing . being responsible for a death is something else . and if the police find the evidence linking thomas to emma 's death , he 's going away and there 's not a damn thing you can do to stop it . | brooke tells bill that she does not think ridge will ever forgive her for re- acting so fast . bill says typical of the dressmaker so no big loss . so either ridge does not know her at all or perhaps he does not know thomas . flo sits and tells ridge she wanted to tell the truth so many times . she hated herself every single day . in the end it was his own son that kept her from telling . she knows he is ridge 's son and he will be on his side but thomas was the one who did not want her to tell the truth or he would lose hope . then she happens to mention emma and he wants to know what she had to do with it . flo says many people think thomas had something to do with her death . ridge is shaken . he says everyone connected to this will be prosecuted . she says that is as it should be . she is not asking for pity . he says she stole a baby twice , once from hope and once from steffy . she says maybe he does not know that side of his son but if he did he would know why she had to keep quiet . thomas would stop at nothing to get hope and that included manipulating his own son . so what does ridge think he would do if someone else came along and was in the way . she says she thinks thomas has some very serious issues and is guilty of a very serious crime . the doctor tells thomas that he will have headaches for a while and need rest for the broken ribs but he will mend and be okay . brooke says thomas is using his heartstrings to get back with hope . and ridge is buying it . bill tells brooke that thomas is a sociopath and there is something seriously wrong with him . and if ridge can not see that then something is seriously wrong with him too . flo tells ridge more and that thomas knew all along about beth but did not want hope to know so she would marry him . he used his son to help with that too . with emma out of the way then he started in on flo threatening her of that same end . she tells ridge she is done and she calls the guard to take her away . last thing she does is pick up the logan gal picture . bill goes to see thomas and asks how his boo - boo is . and good , he recognizes him and has his full attention . and he wants him to know he does not like the things he has done to his family . but he has been working on himself . everyone tells him to watch his temper and they are right . normally he would have walked in there and choked him as he deserved and he still could . his eyes glisten as he says he is not going to do that and he is so proud of himself . on the other hand he will be damned if he will let this go which is what he thinks thomas would want ... just smooth it over and sweep it under the rug and apologize for his mistake .that is what he wants to call it a mistake and move on . just blink once for yes and twice for no . better yet just keep lying there looking stupid . this mistake is going to have consequences and he ca n't wait to teach him how . katie tells brooke that thomas has been a source of tension for a while and she needs to deal with that . brooke says and it has gotten worse since thomas 's accident . they have never been this far apart . brooke says she wishes for ridge that she could believe thomas was remorseful and a new man , but she can not believe that . and this is ridge , the man she loves , the man she married and should be able to rely on yet he believes thomas and wants her to even go thank him for keeping her out of jail . thomas had a dark side to him that no one knew how bad it was and even for ridge she can not forgive that . she can not pretend that is okay . she is not going to do that anymore . thomas has to learn a lesson here . thomas asks bill is he threatening him . bill says if he were he would not have to even ask . this is how things get misinterpreted . if hope had nothing to fear from him then he has nothing to fear from bill . | <s>[INST] bill : forrester can be pretty dense , but he has to know that you did n't want to intentionally hurt thomas . me , on the other hand ... brooke : he could have died , bill . bill : oh , gee , that would have been a real loss . but i 'm glad

asking for forgiveness , and i do n't want you to take pity on me . but you should know what really happened . i did n't know what reese had done or what he had planned . i did n't know hope or steffy -- ridge : you did know that beth was n't your child , and you signed adoption papers . flo : reese told me i was helping . ridge : you stole a baby , twice . once from hope , once from steffy . flo : you 're right . i should have told the truth . i wanted to so many times , but ... ridge : but you did n't want to give up this new life of yours . flo : no , no , no . that 's -- that 's where you do n't get it . i -- i could n't enjoy this new life that i had because i hated myself every single day for not having the courage to speak up . but , in the end , it was your son who kept me quiet . bill : unbelievable . ridge blames you . brooke : yeah . he thinks i reacted the way i did because i hate his son . bill : well , then he does n't know you at all . or he does n't know thomas . brooke : well , he still sees thomas as a little boy . he does n't see him as a many that would do anything to get my daughter to marry him . bill : and i 'm sure he 's really playing up the helpless sympathy card , laying in that hospital bed . brooke : i do n't feel sorry for him , bill . and i certainly am not going to thank him for showing me mercy . not after what he did to our children . vision 's improved . thomas : the headache 's not . you 'll have that for a while , along with a few aches and pains , considering your broken ribs . but , with the proper treatment and rest , your symptoms should improve . thomas : i 'm just happy to be alive . you should be , thomas . you survived a hell of a fall . this could have been an extremely tragic accident . thomas : hey , i -- brooke : get away from my daughter ! thomas : i just -- brooke : get away from her ! hope : thomas ! ridge : thomas made a bad decision , keeping your secret , but he did n't steal beth . flo : but he did n't want hope to have her back . look , ridge ... i know that thomas is your son , and you care about him , obviously , but ... thomas is n't just a bystander in all of this . he married hope , and he knew the truth , and he chose not to tell her . and he threatened to destroy our lives in anyone wanted to tell her the truth . and after what happened to emma , i mean ... ridge : wait , what does that mean , `` what happened to emma ? `` flo : oh , you -- you don't ... there are a lot of people who think that thomas is responsible for emma 's death . bill : using his weakened state to tug at those heartstrings . so freakin ' transparent . brooke : it did n't work on hope , thank god . but i could see it had a huge impact on ridge . bill : yeah , of course it did . conned by his own kid , yet again . brooke : thomas is his son . i can see why he would want to see the best in him . i get it ! but i ca n't ! not after what he did to hope and liam . it was cruel and it was calculated . and there 's no way i 'm going to apologize for misjudging him because i did n't ! ridge is the one who should open his eyes and see things clearly . bill : [ scoffs ] maybe his ears are n't working , either . you 've told him what happened , and he wants to apologize ? brooke : yes , he wants me to thank thomas for not accusing me of attempted murder . really ? i -- i 'm not a criminal ! thomas is the one acting like a criminal . bill : wow , and i guess this fall did n't have any impact on him , either , if he 's still trying to make inroads with hope . brooke : it was frightening . you should have heard the things that was saying , how much he still loves her , how he hopes that she can forgive him one day ... bill : my nephew and granddaughter were only part of his plan . there is something seriously wrong with thomas , brooke , and if ridge ca n't see that , there 's something wrong with him . thomas is a sociopath . brooke : hope and liam , they are so happy right now . they have their lives back on track , they 're raising beth . the last thing they need is to think about thomas . bill : you leave him to me . brooke : wait . bill ... i 'm not asking you to do anything .

well , my man , that 's just a whole nother level of sick . thomas : look , bill , i do n't expect forgiveness , but i apologized to hope . bill : yeah , i know what you did , you twisted freak . you laid it on thick , your poured it out your black heart . well , nobody 's buying it . no , that 's not entirely true . ridge , he -- he 's going with it , but he has to . otherwise , he has to admit to himself that his firstborn son is an obsessive lunatic , a complete loser . now , i know you did n't start this deception , but you did n't do anything to bring it to an end , either . reese and flo , jail . zoe and xander , fired from forrester . everybody is paying a price , but here 's tommy the choo- choo . `` i think i can get away it . i think i can get away it . `` all wrapped up in his father 's ignorance and his own lame excuses . i talked to brooke . and ridge is actually defending you . well , you ca n't defend the indefensible . and i 'm gon na make sure that you pay for what you 've done . ridge : spencer ! there 's no need for you to be here . what is this ? katie : ridge thinks this is okay ? because that 's not how he acted when douglas exposed his father 's lies . brooke : ridge is n't excusing thomas for what he did , but he wants me to thank him for not sending me to jail . katie : what ? brooke : can you believe it ? this is the man that i love , the man that i married , the man that i should rely on . i do n't want to get in a big argument with ridge , i don't . but i do n't trust thomas . in fact , i think that he 's trying to manipulate us all over again . i let him walk away one too many times . i 'm not gon na do that anymore . there 's a lesson to be learned here , and thomas has to learn it . bill : your son stuck a knife through the heart of my family . you do n't think i should object to that , ridge ? ridge : not while he 's in a hospital bed , no . bill : i grieved the loss of my granddaughter . my entire family grieved her loss . ridge : and you should be angry , at buckingham , at flo , but not my son . bill : buckingham and flo have been arrested . they 're paying a price , and he 's gon na have to do the same . ridge : that 's completely different . he kept a secret , that 's all he did . bill : that 's the only thing he cared about , was keeping the secret . are you kidding me ? you see , this is what you do . it 's what you do every time your kid screws up . you give him a blankie and a ba - ba and you coddle him . thomas : look , i can explain . ridge : let me handle it . bill : yeah , let daddy handle it . you just sit there and suck your thumb . but , you know what ... you ca n't protect him this time . i 've been talking to justin . seems there might be a connection between thomas and emma 's death . now , if that proves to be true ... well , he 's gon na have a lot bigger problems on his hand than just keeping a secret . ridge : that is a very serious accusation , bill . bill : one i do n't take lightly . now , come on , forrester , you know me . i do n't bluff , and i do n't blink . ridge : yeah . you can go now . bill : and your mea culpa is n't gon na do jack -- ridge : i said get out ! that 's enough ! bill : i 'm gon na make sure that you rot ! what the hell is going on in here ? mr. forrester , i can hear you out in the hall . ridge : he should n't be here . your son suffered a serious head injury ! he needs rest and quiet . bill : yeah , you know what , doc , you 're absolutely right . you know , ridge ... ridge got out of control , started yelling . this poor kid here , he has a -- he has a headache . listen to the doc , get your rest . and i 'm gon na give you another piece of advice . well , really , it 's more a dose of reality . daddy ca n't save you from this one . daddy ca n't save you from this or from me . justice will be done . i 'm gon na see to it . you 're not doing your son any favors protecting him , ridge . he 's got to learn a lesson . he 's got to pay for what he 's done . to liam , to hope , to steffy ... ridge : i - i know . bill , i 'm worried about him . and not just because of this fall , but because of the decisions he 's made . bill : well , i 'm glad that we agree . he 's got to pay for the crime . ridge : what is the crime ? he kept a secret . it 's awful , but he -- he 's trying to make amends . bill : oh , come on , ridge , you believe him ? you know , i do n't know what 's worse , thomas and his heinous manipulations , or you having raised this poor excuse of a man . ridge : there it is . my son almost died . bill : because of his own actions , the same actions that are gon na land him in jail . now , keeping a secret was one thing . being responsible for a death is something else . and if the police find the evidence linking thomas to emma 's death , he 's going away and there 's not a damn thing you can do to stop it .Summarize.[/INST]brooke tells bill that she does not think ridge will ever forgive her for re- acting so fast . bill says typical of the dressmaker so no big loss . so either ridge does not know her at all or perhaps he does not know thomas . flo sits and tells ridge she wanted to tell the truth so many times . she hated herself every single day . in the end it was his own son that kept her from telling . she knows he is ridge 's son and he will be on his side but thomas was the one who did not want her to tell the truth or he would lose hope . then she happens to mention emma and he wants to know what she had to do with it . flo says many people think thomas had something to do with her death . ridge is shaken . he says everyone connected to this will be prosecuted . she says that is as it should be . she is not asking for pity . he says she stole a baby twice , once from hope and once from steffy . she says maybe he does not know that side of his son but if he did he would know why she had to keep quiet . thomas would stop at nothing to get hope and that included manipulating his own son . so what does ridge think he would do if someone else came along and was in the way . she says she thinks thomas has some very serious issues and is guilty of a very serious crime . the doctor tells thomas that he will have headaches for a while and need rest for the broken ribs but he will mend and be okay . brooke says thomas is using his heartstrings to get back with hope . and ridge is buying it . bill tells brooke that thomas is a sociopath and there is something seriously wrong with him . and if ridge can not see that then something is seriously wrong with him too . flo tells ridge more and that thomas knew all along about beth but did not want hope to know so she would marry him . he used his son to help with that too . with emma out of the way then he started in on flo threatening her of that same end . she tells ridge she is done and she calls the guard to take her away . last thing she does is pick up the logan gal picture . bill goes to see thomas and asks how his boo - boo is . and good , he recognizes him and has his full attention . and he wants him to know he does not like the things he has done to his family . but he has been working on himself . everyone tells him to watch his temper and they are right . normally he would have walked in there and choked him as he deserved and he still could . his eyes glisten as he says he is not going to do that and he is so proud of himself . on the other hand he will be damned if he will let this go which is what he thinks thomas would want ... just smooth it over and sweep it under the rug and apologize for his mistake .that is what he wants to call it a mistake and move on . just blink once for yes and twice for no . better yet just keep lying there looking stupid . this mistake is going to have consequences and he ca n't wait to teach him how . katie tells brooke that thomas has been a source of tension for a while and she needs to deal with that . brooke says and it has gotten worse since thomas 's accident . they have never been this far apart . brooke says she wishes for ridge that she could believe thomas was remorseful and a new man , but she can not believe that . and this is ridge , the man she loves , the man she married and should be able to rely on yet he believes thomas and wants her to even go thank him for keeping her out of jail . thomas had a dark side to him that no one knew how bad it was and even for ridge she can not forgive that . she can not pretend that is okay . she is not going to do that anymore . thomas has to learn a lesson here . thomas asks bill is he threatening him . bill says if he were he would not have to even ask . this is how things get misinterpreted . if hope had nothing to fear from him then he has nothing to fear from bill .</s> | 5,287 |

[ both laugh ] epiphany : whoo , milo , that 's a fine specimen , is n't he ? [ laughs ] he turns heads everywhere we go . and there 's no one sweeter or more attentive . elizabeth : aww . epiphany : but i did n't come with three young children in tow . it takes a special kind of man to embrace that responsibility . felix : mm , i have to disagree . i mean , you 're making it sound like jake is marrying our girl in spite of those three boys . epiphany : that 's not what i meant . elizabeth : i know what you meant . [ chuckles ] felix : what she meant to say was , jake is marrying you because he loves you , and the kids just sweeten the deal . elizabeth : and i absolutely know that to be true , but i get what epiphany 's saying . most men would run the other way if a woman sprung a family on them . but i am here to tell you not all guys balk at the idea of raising children who are n't their own . and jake loves my boys . sabrina : obviously . elizabeth : there are some good guys out there , and i think we all have one . [ light laughter ] [ scene_break ] michael : look , sabrina 's reasons for not marrying me have nothing to do with you . sonny : i have a certain reputation . i just got shot . i do n't blame her if she wants to keep her distance . michael : sabrina was the one who kept arguing with me to make peace with you . she knows how much you mean to me . look , truthfully , if anyone put a damper on my proposal to sabrina it was mom . i got a sense she was ... she had her concerns . sonny : your mother just wants you to be happy . she has her own opinions on how to make that happen . does n't mean that you have to follow her advice . michael : the last thing i want to do is to fight with mom , but if she tries to interferes in this at all -- sonny : hey , let me take of your mother , and you work on sabrina . michael : look , dad , if sabrina does n't want to marry me , i have to accept that , that 's her choice . sonny : i understand , but you can show what a great family that you could have together . i do n't want you to go through a custody battle like i 'm going through with ava . as much as i admire a single parent , i think , you know , a kid should be with both parents . michael : i mean , dante turned out just fine . sonny : yeah , but he 's an exception to the rule , michael . [ footsteps approaching ] olivia : sonny , we need to talk . hey , michael . michael : hi . uh , i ca n't step outside if you guys -- olivia : no , no . it 's okay . you might as well hear it . you 're gon na hear it anyway . and believe me , your brother 's gon na need all your love and support . sonny : something happen to dante , olivia ? olivia : he cheated on lulu , and it all came out last night . [ scene_break ] dante : why do n't you focus on the things that are working for you , like starting the police academy ? valerie : might not be . dante : why ? valerie : because half of port charles knows about our night together . add that to how fast gossip travels at the pd . the academy knows by now that i 've had an inappropriate relationship with a detective , and they 're gon na want me to do the right thing and withdraw . dante : do n't do that . valerie : i broke the rules , and it came back to bite me . dante : well , you know , it 's not easy to get into the academy . they chose you for your potential . and they see how honest you are and passionate you are and how good you are with people and your desire to make this city a better place . i see that , too . do n't let our one mistake ruin it for you . [ lulu gasps ] [ scene_break ] michael : okay , well , what did dante say ? olivia : i have n't spoken to him . i stopped by the haunted star this morning . lulu was there , very upset . apparently , she found out about the whole thing in the middle of the party last night . sonny : found out how ? olivia : i guess it was a very public revelation . sonny : ah , dante was supposed to tell lulu . this is just not good . olivia : are you saying you knew about this ? ! sonny , you did n't tell me ? ! sonny : he came here yesterday , he told me everything -- that it was a one - time mistake , that he loves lulu and his family , he was gon na do everything to work it out . michael : what did you say ? sonny : i told him that the longer he keeps quiet , the worse the lie 's gon na get . and if he wants to save his family , he 's got to tell lulu . olivia : no offense , sonny , you could n't have given our son worse advice .

[ chuckles ] felix : what she meant to say was , jake is marrying you because he loves you , and the kids just sweeten the deal . elizabeth : and i absolutely know that to be true , but i get what epiphany 's saying . most men would run the other way if a woman sprung a family on them . but i am here to tell you not all guys balk at the idea of raising children who are n't their own . and jake loves my boys . sabrina : obviously . elizabeth : there are some good guys out there , and i think we all have one . [ light laughter ] [ scene_break ] michael : look , sabrina 's reasons for not marrying me have nothing to do with you . sonny : i have a certain reputation . i just got shot . i do n't blame her if she wants to keep her distance . michael : sabrina was the one who kept arguing with me to make peace with you . she knows how much you mean to me . look , truthfully , if anyone put a damper on my proposal to sabrina it was mom . i got a sense she was ... she had her concerns . sonny : your mother just wants you to be happy . she has her own opinions on how to make that happen . does n't mean that you have to follow her advice . michael : the last thing i want to do is to fight with mom , but if she tries to interferes in this at all -- sonny : hey , let me take of your mother , and you work on sabrina . michael : look , dad , if sabrina does n't want to marry me , i have to accept that , that 's her choice . sonny : i understand , but you can show what a great family that you could have together . i do n't want you to go through a custody battle like i 'm going through with ava . as much as i admire a single parent , i think , you know , a kid should be with both parents . michael : i mean , dante turned out just fine . sonny : yeah , but he 's an exception to the rule , michael . [ footsteps approaching ] olivia : sonny , we need to talk . hey , michael . michael : hi . uh , i ca n't step outside if you guys -- olivia : no , no . it 's okay . you might as well hear it . you 're gon na hear it anyway . and believe me , your brother 's gon na need all your love and support . sonny : something happen to dante , olivia ? olivia : he cheated on lulu , and it all came out last night . [ scene_break ] dante : why do n't you focus on the things that are working for you , like starting the police academy ? valerie : might not be . dante : why ? valerie : because half of port charles knows about our night together . add that to how fast gossip travels at the pd . the academy knows by now that i 've had an inappropriate relationship with a detective , and they 're gon na want me to do the right thing and withdraw . dante : do n't do that . valerie : i broke the rules , and it came back to bite me . dante : well , you know , it 's not easy to get into the academy . they chose you for your potential . and they see how honest you are and passionate you are and how good you are with people and your desire to make this city a better place . i see that , too . do n't let our one mistake ruin it for you . [ lulu gasps ] [ scene_break ] michael : okay , well , what did dante say ? olivia : i have n't spoken to him . i stopped by the haunted star this morning . lulu was there , very upset . apparently , she found out about the whole thing in the middle of the party last night . sonny : found out how ? olivia : i guess it was a very public revelation . sonny : ah , dante was supposed to tell lulu . this is just not good . olivia : are you saying you knew about this ? ! sonny , you did n't tell me ? ! sonny : he came here yesterday , he told me everything -- that it was a one - time mistake , that he loves lulu and his family , he was gon na do everything to work it out . michael : what did you say ? sonny : i told him that the longer he keeps quiet , the worse the lie 's gon na get . and if he wants to save his family , he 's got to tell lulu . olivia : no offense , sonny , you could n't have given our son worse advice . [ scene_break ] lulu : do you need a few more minutes ? i can wait . dante : no , we were just talking . lulu : oh , please do n't stop for me . i just have to grab a few things , and then i 'll be out . dante : lulu , please , nothing is going on . lulu : yeah , i 've heard that before . valerie : i came here to talk to you . lulu : i 'm not interested in anything that you have to say . valerie : there 's nothing going on between dante and me . he loves you . lulu : damn it , valerie ! if i want to talk about my husband , it wo n't be with his whore ! [ zipper opens ] valerie : okay . i 'm gon na let you have that one , because i truly am sorry for the part that i played in all this . but i 'm not gon na apologize anymore . [ sniffles ] i messed up . i made mistakes . lulu : is that what you call it ? you mistakenly screwed your cousin 's husband ! valerie : you can rage and you can cry and you can feel sorry for yourself all you want , but that does n't absolve you from your responsibility . lulu : my responsibility ? i was cheated on . i stupidly trusted my husband and my cousin , and you both betrayed me . valerie : you set this all in motion , lulu ! you lied ! you decided to trust dillon over your own husband . so , if you do n't like the outcome of it , then join the club , because we all feel pretty miserable about it right now . you can embrace the misery and the self - pity , or you can acknowledge your part in all this ... and figure out how to forgive your husband . lulu : oh , who the hell are you to tell me to forgive him ? valerie : think , lulu . what you do does n't only affect you . it affects dante and rocco . lulu : i do not believe that you are making this my fault ! dante : valerie , i need some time with lulu . lulu : yeah , come back in 10 minutes . i 'll be gone , and you guys will be free to do whatever you want . valerie : lulu , you have a man who will lay his life down for you . what 's more important ? your pride or your family ? dante : [ sniffles ] i was waiting for you , and she showed up looking for you . lulu : stop explaining , please . never want to hear an explanation from you for as long as i live . dante : please stop . lulu : what ? dante : i hate myself for what i did to you and our family . lulu : you already said that . it does n't mean any more now than it did before . dante : and i 'm scared , lulu . i do n't know what 's gon na happen to us . lulu : yeah , neither do i . dante : okay , so , let 's just take a breather , okay ? let 's just stay home , and we 'll talk about what to do . lulu : home ? dante : yeah , here . lulu : this is not my home . dante : it 's our home . lulu : no , it 's not , not to me . this is like a crime scene . this is the place where you trashed your wedding vows , where you had sex with another woman in our bed . i 'm not staying here .

[ scene_break ] elizabeth : hey . steven : hey . elizabeth : how 's rachel doing ? steven : well , she 's stabilized , so there 's a pretty good chance she 's going to recover . elizabeth : you did it . steven : yeah , barely . elizabeth : but i ca n't imagine operating on somebody i 've had a relationship with . i mean , it would be tough enough having a stranger 's life in your hands . steven : a life is a life . elizabeth : you 're an excellent surgeon , steven . but i saw you freeze up in there . steven : yeah . remember when i told you that i had performed this operation before when i was a resident ? rachel and i did it together and we botched it and that 's when the patient died . and then when i was looking down at rachel and she was lying on that table , she was in the same condition , it just felt like our lives had come full circle . elizabeth : you were afraid you 'd make the same mistake ? but you did n't . i mean , she pulled through . steven : i was so afraid , liz . i was afraid that i was going to kill her . elizabeth : how come you never told me about this before ? i thought you had a perfect record in the operating room . steven : technically , i still do . no , rachel stepped up and she took full responsibility , so i guess i owe her my career .

[ scene_break ] alexis : carly , i 'm sure you 've heard -- i 'm very worried about my daughter . i 'm seeking permanent custody . carly : michael just died . and you were going to deprive sonny of contact with his only daughter ? alexis : this is n't about sonny , this is about his children . you have always put him first , carly -- his happiness , his sense of ownership -- sometimes over the well - being of your own children . carly : sonny is n't a danger to his children and you know that , alexis . it is an excuse that you use when you are feeling insecure . you 're doing this out of an obsessive fear of losing kristina 's love and you are so determined to be the only important person in her life . you cling to her , you make sure there are no other options because you can not put the needs of your daughter ahead of your own . alexis : i believe that morgan 's life is in jeopardy . i believe that michael may have died because you allowed sonny to adopt him and it breaks my heart that i ca n't protect morgan , but i will damn well do what i need to do to protect my daughter . carly : okay , you know sonny could 've taken kristina away from you before and he did n't . but you know he is not going to hesitate now , and when the dust settles and you 've lost kristina for good , you are only going to have yourself to blame . oh . lorenzo : feel better ? carly : arguing with alexis is a waste of breath . you know , that woman is so sure of her own superiority . she is so convinced that she is right about everything , nothing penetrates . the only way to stop her is to hit her where it hurts . [ scene_break ] sonny : alexis got a judge to bar me from seeing kristina until the new custody agreement is reached . reese : sorry . sonny : yeah . she 's going to attack my whole life , you know , try to prove that i 'm a criminal . reese : well , so far , nobody 's been able to prove that . sonny : yeah , and she 's going to try to get you to testify because i 'm being investigated in the sandoval shootings . reese : oh , right . well , i tried to warn you against moving on the sandovals in the first place , you know ? did n't i ? sonny : yeah . yeah , you did . what are you going to say if they call you to testify ? reese : oh . i 'm going to tell the court that -- that you 're a loving and dedicated father and that you 've been the subject of several f.b.i . investigations but no proof linking you to organized crime or the sandoval shootings has surfaced . i 'm going to say that in the eyes of the law , you 're innocent . sonny : thank you . reese : i 'll only be telling the truth , sonny . you should try it sometime . [ scene_break ] steven : all those times i questioned you about rachel , you never said anything . jax : she 's been blackmailing courtney . courtney : look , when rachel thought i was going to tell someone the truth , she poisoned jax . he had a seizure . elizabeth : oh , that 's horrible . steven : well , rachel 's hated me all these years . elizabeth : i do n't understand . if rachel hates steven , why did she kill a.j . ? steven : okay , rachel and a.j . are complete strangers , so it would be almost impossible to pin a murder on her because she would have no motive . courtney : and no one would suspect me of killing your brother . jax : yeah , rachel was trying to orchestrate two perfect murders with no repercussions . courtney : well , she set it up really good . i mean , the police believe that i had means , motive , and opportunity to kill a.j . jax : and they also have forensic evidence . steven : which rachel may have contaminated . she was around the day i received the forensics on a.j . 's murder . jax : she had access to it ? steven : briefly . jax : well , you have to go to mac with this information . steven : look , i 'm sorry , but this all just seems so unbelievable . okay , rachel 's -- okay , she 's always been a little high - strung , but i just do n't believe that this is a woman who is capable of murder . courtney : well , believe it . rachel killed a.j . in cold blood . [ scene_break ] a.j . : still thinking about jason ? michael : i want to call him . a.j . : fine . but , michael , i want you to know if he comes to get you , it 's not because he loves you . it 's because he wants to take you away from me again . michael : it 's not true . jason loves me . a.j . : why do you think that ? hmm ? is it because he gives you big presents ? michael : no . it 's because he explains stuff , never gets mad , and he read to me about the world when i was a baby . a.j . : that 's not true . jason -- jason did n't read to you , michael . michael : yes , he did . a.j . : no . i did . look , there was a time , right , when you were little , you lived with me at my parents ' house and every night , i would sit up with you and i would read to you from books just like this one . michael : mom said jason read to me . a.j . : yeah , well , she lied about that , too . i know this is -- this is tough to hear . but the only one who has been honest with you the whole time is me .

[ reese sighs ] alexis : if you would testify that he is a prime suspect in an ongoing case , it would create reasonable doubt about his care - giving at this point . reese : there 's been no proof , alexis . alexis : there never is . you and i both know he was involved in those shootings . reese : in this country , sonny is innocent until proven guilty . alexis : the person that is innocent is kristina . she 's just been taken out of her home for weeks by a stranger and you 're the one who brought her back . reese : and i am glad kristina is safe . alexis : how long do you think that 's going to last ? i need you to help me give my daughter a fighting chance by testifying against sonny .

[ scene_break ] kevin : so , best - case scenario -- you find the embryo , it 's viable , and you have this child . lulu : great . i like where that 's headed . kevin : what happens when the idealism of having a new child wears off , and you 're faced with the day to day of the effects that that will have on your marriage ? lulu : having another child to love ? kevin : oh , i do n't doubt that you would love the child . it 's just that the child was n't conceived in love . it was created by someone who performed an invasive procedure on you against your will . lulu : yeah . yeah , stavros . not the baby . the baby is innocent . kevin : i do n't think i need to mince words with you , lulu , when i say that you were assaulted . lulu : [ clears throat ] kevin : the child is a product of a union between you and your attacker . he or she would be a constant reminder of what stavros did , not only to you , but to dante . lulu : well , we 'd get over it . we 'd have to . kevin : what if you ca n't ? what happens the day you look down at that child , and you see stavros ' face looking back at you ? there 's just no way to predict what your emotional reaction to that would be -- or dante 's . lulu : look , i appreciate your concern . i do . but dante and i have already discussed this . kevin : good . i 'm glad you have . but that discussion is purely hypothetical at this point . listen , say you find what you 're looking for , and you have this child . reality may be completely different . are you sure you 're prepared to face that ? [ scene_break ] michael : i do n't know how to do this . i do n't know how to say goodbye . i just got you back . [ breathes sharply ] [ sniffles ] i just want you to know , though , the time that we ... that we had meant everything to me . i thought we 'd have longer . i thought we 'd have forever .

[ sighs ] that 's always been your department , right ? i remember , after my accident , you would sit and talk to me constantly , actually . you would beg me to come back to the family , and that was the last thing i wanted . at the time , i just thought you were hounding me , and all i wanted to do was to be left alone ... for you to let me go off on my own . now i realize how wrong that was . at the time , i could n't understand because ... ... i did n't have kids of my own . and now , with jake and danny , i get it . by the way ... there 's another one on the way . i would go to the end of the earth for my kids . just like you would have done for me . and i never thanked you for that . i never thanked you for how much you love me . well , mom , i 'm thanking you now . [ scene_break ] judge lasser : during the recess , the defense presented a copy of the warrant issued for the wiretap of alexis davis ' house . said warrant appeared to have a critical typo . sam : oh , wait a minute . did she actually just say `` typo `` ? sonny : got to be kidding me ! judge lasser : i have reviewed the original warrant to confirm that ms. davis ' address was , indeed , written incorrectly . alexis : no . no , no . sam : stay -- stay -- stay calm . he 's guilty . we 're gon na prove it . judge lasser : this court has concluded that the recording and any other evidence that was gathered as a result of the improper warrant was obtained illegally . therefore , i have no choice but to throw out mr. jerome 's confession . jordan : your honor , that is impossible ! i filed the warrant myself . i know the address is correct . judge lasser : sit down . the next person that speaks out of turn will be cited for contempt . the jury will disregard any remarks made by the district attorney regarding said confession as he proceeds with his case . scott : your honor , the alleged confession was the crux of the people 's case . and now that it has been deemed inadmissible , i move that the case against my client be thrown out . insufficient evidence . [ scene_break ] lulu : you 're right . dante and i have no idea how this will affect us -- carrying stavros ' baby , raising him or her . but nikolas ... nikolas was stavros ' son . and i loved him so very much . and i know that dante is prepared to love this baby , too . and , i mean , there 's someone else to consider here -- rocco . if i could give him a little brother or sister , i want to give him that gift . kevin : well , good . i 'm glad you 've thought this through . lulu : i have -- most of it . some of what you brought up is actually new . thank you . kevin : you 're welcome . it 's important to consider all of the possibilities , especially when you make a decision like this . lulu : i will . but the bottom line is , part of me is out there , and i need to find it . and then i 'll decide what to do . [ scene_break ] jason : i should have said something before . having you back in my life ... well , mom , i really -- really ca n't tell you what that means to me . it means everything to my kids . [ sighs ] so , i expect you to continue to spoil them , and with this new one on the way , i think you just might have your work cut out for you . this kid needs to see just what a great grandmother you are . so i 'm gon na need you to stick around , because my kids need you ... ... because i need you . hey . hey , there . [ scene_break ] paul : your honor , despite the loss of the wiretap , the people are prepared to proceed . we have extensive evidence and witness testimony that will prove mr. jerome 's guilt . judge lasser : if the people believe they can make their case , i wo n't stand in the way . mr. baldwin , would you care to make your opening statement ? scott : thank you , your honor . ladies and gentlemen of the jury , mr. hornsby is going to try and convince you that my client , julian jerome , is guilty . but he ca n't , because he 's not . my client is an innocent man . thank you , your honor . the defense is ready to proceed . judge lasser : the people can call their first witness . paul : thank you , your honor . i call alexis davis to the stand .

( spectators murmur ) we 're particularly interested in the part that says that when he lies , the machine says he 's telling the truth . ( spectators mutter ) judge : order . ( bangs gavel ) order , please . jeffrey : did you read this file when you were in chicago ? gus : did i read it ? i do n't know what i read back then . jeffrey : you do n't know ? may i remind you that you 're under oath , mr . aitoro ? gus : that has no relevance . judge : overruled . jeffrey : you threw up a hail mary , gus , because you knew you were losing the case . gus : objection , judge . judge : overruled . jeffrey : you tried to pull one over on us , did n't you ? but it did n't work . gus : oh , objection . argumentative . jeffrey : i withdraw . you 're excused . harley : oh , god , it 's true . everything he said is true . holly : you think i 'm upset because you were talking to beth raines ? sebastian : are you ? holly : do n't be ridiculous . kçm sebastian : oh , i 'm sorry . i thought i detected something in your tone , darling . but if i 'm wrong , i 'm wrong . holly : you are 100 % wrong . but i am curious about something you were saying : that we are all judged by our past . sebastian : yes . holly : now , you of all people have a very unique take on remaking yourself . well , so you 're starting over as just a regular guy in little old springfield . sebastian : ( laughs ) you make it sound so dullsville . holly : you know what i would like ? sebastian : hm ? holly : to write a story about you . sebastian : get out . holly : yeah . to chronicle your efforts at starting over . sebastian : are you serious ? holly : yeah . sebastian : wait a minute . let me get this straight . so , after everything we 've been through , you do n't want to turn around and run in the other direction ? you want to get closer to me ? holly : why not ? dinah : let 's do some shopping . maybe we can grab some lunch afterwards . edmund : dinah , this is louise phipps . she works in the consulate . louise , dinah marler . louise : nice to meet you , ms . marler . dinah : pleasure . you can call me dinah . edmund : louise has been briefed on your situation . she knows how soon you may be expecting , and she 's all prepared to take you shopping . dinah : what ? edmund : louise has a wonderful sense of style . she will prove invaluable as you look for a new wardrobe . louise ? be sure to charge everything to my account at the consulate . and do n't forget that dinah is a very close friend of the family . cassie and i want to make sure she is taken care of as best as possible . dinah : yes , indeedy . i 'm their favorite charity case . will you excuse me for a moment , louise ? thank you . why am i not shopping with you ? edmund : because louise is much more helpful and efficient . dinah : yes , she certainly looks efficient . edmund : yes , well ... i 'll be going now . louise : you must be very excited , ms . marler . edmund : have fun , ladies . dinah : overjoyed . sebastian : how would you go about doing this ?

marina : the best thing that could have happened to us . really . i mean , we realized that we loved each other , just not the way that we needed to , to stay together . tammy : last year , i thought joey leaving was the worst thing that could ever happen . then jonathan came along . marina : oh , jonathan . every time i see him , i just want to punch him . i hate him . tammy : well , you do n't have to hate him on my account . marina : hey , what are friends for ? you 're okay now , though , right ? tammy : i 'm trying to take charge of my life rather than just let it happen to me , you know ? marina : that 's very psych 101 of you . tammy : well , i need to find a place to live , and i 'm worried about my mom , but other than that , i 'm okay . i 'm back in school ... marina : you have sandy . tammy : well , we 're just starting out , but it 's been fun . and even though we were roommates for a while , we 're still just getting to know each other . marina : well , i 'm glad he got his life all figured out , you know ?

edmund : it 's a reminder , dinah , as is this . dinah : yes . the 90-year warranty on a baby , guaranteeing you and cassie one baby without any interference from the factory . edmund : exactly . now , i am going to get this over to the lawyer , and then i 'm going to drop by the farmhouse and see if cassie left any messages . dinah : sure . edmund : good . call me if you need anything . dinah : i think i 'm going to get my shopping out of the way . edmund : shopping ? dinah : yeah . i need a new wardrobe . there was a sale downtown at one of the maternity shops , and i thought i might go down , poke my head in , see if i ca n't get anything . edmund : maternity clothes ? dinah : yeah . i 've got to look good carrying your child , do n't i ? i 'm going to be fine . do n't worry about me . go ! i 'll be fine . come on . go . edmund : right . right . no , i ca n't do this . i ca n't let you fend for yourself while you 're carrying my child . i 'm going to make a call . dinah : thanks . i 'll go get dressed . edmund : mm . beth : i ca n't do this . i do n't know what i was thinking . sebastian : well , why do n't you tell me ? what were you thinking ? beth : you ca n't run away from your problems . it wo n't solve anything . sebastian : well , do you want to talk about it ? um , maybe i could help ? or maybe it 's so hideous i wo n't even want you on my bike . beth : too hideous for you , huh ? ( laughter ) sebastian : well , i do have a high threshold . so , beth , what 's up ? beth : ( sighs ) i disappointed someone , a friend . sebastian : yeah , it 's a shame , is n't it ? beth : what 's that ? sebastian : how people tend to judge us for the shortcomings of our past , as opposed to the potential of our future . beth : well - put . i should go . sebastian : are you sure you do n't want that ride ? we can stay the speed limit and i 'll obey all the traffic lights . beth : maybe some other time . sebastian : all right . beth : maybe . sebastian : deal . are you going to say `` hi `` or just lurk there in the shadows ? holly : how 's tricks ? sebastian : i should be asking you that . how long have you been there ? holly : oh , i do n't know . just a while . sebastian : so you saw me with beth ? holly : everything okay ? sebastian : mm - hmm . she was a little upset so i offered her my ear . holly : mm - hmm . sebastian : she 's ... she 's an attractive woman . holly : of course she is . i just ... i just meant ... sebastian : i know what you meant . sandy : so , marina , what 's this i hear about you and mr . danny santos , huh ? i heard he 's a good guy . thanks . what did i do for that ? marina : you actually said something civil about him , and i appreciate it . actually , i kind of sort of like him . sandy : mm . marina : i helped him find an apartment . sandy : yeah ? oh , speaking of finding new homes , did you and tammy come up with any brilliant ideas ? her lousy roommate threw her out . marina : yeah , i heard . the jerk . actually , i threw some ideas her way , but nothing stuck . hey , you know ? i really hate to leave the two of you alone and all , but i should probably go . tammy : well , thank you for coming over and thank you for the suggestions . marina : any time . i 'm just chock full of ideas . and you ... sandy : you ! marina : you . thank you for being so nice about danny . sandy : well , hey , if he 's nice and respectful to you , i like the guy . marina : thank you . sandy : is that where you 're going ? marina : no . actually , i 'm going to go head over and see what 's happening with harley 's trial . hopefully , she 's getting the break she deserves . see you later . jeffrey : you recognize the garage you 're in and the man you 're speaking with , the witness who just gave your client an alibi , jack webster . gus : that 's a parking garage , you know , a public place . i could have passed him at any time , really . jeffrey : your honor , let the record show that the date time- stamped on the photograph shows that it is 9 : 00 last night . buzz : i thought gus was with you last night . harley : where did you go ? gus : where did you go ? who were you with ? what did you do ? harley : shut up . ( laughs ) gus : you still sound like a copper . jeffrey : you and the witness in a parking garage just hours before court convened . gus : i 'm sorry , is it against the rules to go over the testimony of your own witness , because i do n't think ... jeffrey : late at night in a parking garage with no one else around ? gus : the guy 's a night owl . what can i say , you know ? jeffrey : okay , thank you . we 'll move on . now , mr . webster knew that if he did not cooperate with you that he risked the chance of going back to jail , is n't that correct ? gus : the guy wanted a deal ; he got a deal . but not until he passed a lie detector test . jeffrey : yes , i remember . gus : then you also remember that he swore , under oath , that he saw phillip spaulding alive after my client had left company . i mean , the needle does n't lie , you know ? jeffrey : when did you first learn about this story that purportedly clears your client of murder ? gus : i learned it when you did , o'neill . chief cooper brought him into the courtroom . jeffrey : that was the first time ? gus : uh ... yeah . i believe ... i believe it was . jeffrey : thank you . now , mr . aitoro , before you studied law and joined the fbi , where did you live ? gus : chicago . jeffrey : chicago . you were a beat cop there . gus : that 's right . jeffrey : yes . and i want you to take a look at exhibit 13 here , please . okay ? please tell us what that is . gus : it 's an arrest report . jeffrey : that 's right . it 's an arrest report from the chicago police department . now , could you please read for us who the suspect is on that arrest report ? gus : jack webster . jeffrey : thank you . and now please tell us , who is the arresting officer on that report ? gus : ( sighs ) jeffrey : it 's right there on page one , line six , mr . aitoro . gus : yeah . judge : answer the question , counselor . gus : uh , yeah , it 's me . jeffrey : you knew jack webster before he came forward to save your client -- long before . coming up on `` guiding light `` ... gus : i remember jack webster . and i knew exactly what would happen if he took a lie detectorzv test . i remember because i recruited him . it 's the only way that i could save you . bill : you want to tell me what that is ? olivia : i ... um ... bill : never mind , i 'll tell you what it is . that 's my wife trying to nail harley cooper to the wall . oprah : extreme makeovers . jeffrey : what an incredible coincidence . you were jack webster 's arresting officer . gus : i arrested a lot of people . i had a quota , like every other officer . jeffrey : do you remember him ? gus : i don't ... i do n't know . look at the date on that thing . that 's a long time ago . jeffrey : your honor , i would like to have this file marked next in order , please . judge : people 's exhibit 17-b . jeffrey : this is a file from the chicago police department . if you would , please ? it 's a personal profile on the witness , one that the arresting officer would be very familiar with . now , mr . aitoro , would you please read for us the part that details mr . webster 's uncanny ability to beat a lie detector test ?

( bangs gavel ) order , please . jeffrey : did you read this file when you were in chicago ? gus : did i read it ? i do n't know what i read back then . jeffrey : you do n't know ? may i remind you that you 're under oath , mr . aitoro ?

but it did n't work . gus : oh , objection . argumentative . jeffrey : i withdraw . you 're excused . harley : oh , god , it 's true . everything he said is true . holly : you think i 'm upset because you were talking to beth raines ? sebastian : are you ? holly : do n't be ridiculous . kçm sebastian : oh , i 'm sorry . i thought i detected something in your tone , darling . but if i 'm wrong , i 'm wrong . holly : you are 100 % wrong . but i am curious about something you were saying : that we are all judged by our past . sebastian : yes . holly : now , you of all people have a very unique take on remaking yourself . well , so you 're starting over as just a regular guy in little old springfield . sebastian : ( laughs ) you make it sound so dullsville . holly : you know what i would like ? sebastian : hm ? holly : to write a story about you . sebastian : get out . holly : yeah . to chronicle your efforts at starting over . sebastian : are you serious ? holly : yeah . sebastian : wait a minute . let me get this straight . so , after everything we 've been through , you do n't want to turn around and run in the other direction ?
