[ exhales ] [ scene_break ] will : okay . i know you do n't like either one of them , and i understand that , but i have to be around gabi and nick , and i 'm gon na have to be around them for the rest of my life , so i got ta deal with that . and i think we worked it out . you know , gabi has been nothing but great , you know ? she 's the one who gave me this . sonny : well , i hope you 're right . i really do . will : mm - hmm . sonny : but was n't working it out just a little too easy ? will : no , because we only want what 's best for the baby . sonny : but nick and gabi are teamed up . did you ever think maybe they could be stringing you along ? will : i know you have this thing about gabi that you ca n't tell me about -- sonny : i 'm just saying that she 's not as sweet and innocent as you think she is . forget about what i know about her . what about the fact that they tried to get you to give up the rights to your own child ? will : it 's a little bit more -- sonny : over and over , they lie and manipulate people to get what they want . to hell with whoever stands in their way -- will : sonny , i did n't give up the baby for them . man , i gave up the baby for you .

[ scene_break ] kristen : so then , nicole and i called a truce . maybe it did n't seem like it at the time , but it did hit home with me about her being in pain . and i know that she was looking out for you , so -- brady : you are truly , truly not the tough chick that you want everybody to believe you are . kristen : i only care what you believe about me . so , did i do my one good deed for the day ? brady : you were great to agree not to press charges against nicole . but this whole truce thing ? are you kidding me ? you went above and beyond , kristen . kristen : i do n't want you to lose one more person from your life because of me . brady : you know , i 'm gon na have to figure out something very , very special to reward you for all the good work you did today . kristen : [ laughs ] oh , really ? brady : yeah . kristen : good . i 'm sure you 'll think of something .

[ scene_break ] nicole : well , the only good thing about this morning -- and i mean , the only good thing -- is that you were there . eric : for spiritual guidance . nicole : so can i call you in as my witness in my civil suit against the city of salem and hope `` drunk with power `` brady ? eric : i 'll testify that she asked you to answer a couple questions . nicole : she dragged me in here without a shred of evidence . eric : because you cut her off before she could finish her sentence , and it seemed like a little bit by design . nicole : whose side are you on , anyway ? eric : i 'm on yours . nicole : okay . eric : but you 're playing it as if you have something to hide . i mean , all this outrage and protestation . i mean , if you can just dial it down a few decibels . brady : okay , i 'm here . really ? what is she doing here ? nicole : ugh . do n't play innocent with me . you set me up . you and that sea witch you 're shagging . eric : really good about dialing it down , nicole . brady : good to see you too , nicole . what is that i apparently set up ? nicole : you set me up for stealing those files . eric : she 's on a roll . hope : so you admit you stole them ? nicole : i did n't admit to anything , first of all . and i know you are angry with me , but how could you do this to me ? i have a record . this could be really bad . brady : i am very aware of that . that 's why i did n't turn you in . nicole : no . you had kristen do it for you . [ scene_break ] kristen : and he shot down the whole concept of getting married in secret . stefano : in secret ? was n't the idea of your -- look , i 'm gon na be polite now and call it your plan , okay ? was n't the idea to humiliate him in front of the church , huh ? and when you have humiliation , what do you have ? you have a lot of people . i mean , john dumped you in a room filled with people . kristen : yeah , i kinda remember that , so i guess i probably would 've found a way to make the private ceremony public . i 'm not stupid . stefano : no , but sometimes i know you get caught up in emotion , okay ? i mean , this idiot does not even want to marry you . kristen : you know , i really hate talking to you . stefano : you know , what i 'm doing right now , talking to you , is not fun either . somehow or another you know what this is like ? this is like old times , for goodness ' sake . when you used to have an idea , you would follow through with it , and you would never even think that the whole thing could possibly blow up in your face . kristen : okay , so you do n't have any faith in me . what else is new ? i do n't care . because i 'm gon na get what i want no matter what .

[ scene_break ] claudia : you think i deserve this , do n't you ? johnny : you know that 's not true . claudia : no , you think that this is karma because i 'm responsible for michael getting shot . johnny : i 'm just saying both situations were accidents . claudia : no , john , you 're saying this is justice . you 're saying that i 'm getting what i deserve because i put the hit out on sonny and michael got shot instead . johnny : you 're putting words in my mouth . claudia : i do n't think i am . i 'm allowed to be angry , johnny . johnny : i 'm not saying that you 're not . claudia : maybe when this night started it does n't matter who was behind the wheels . sonny and i had a baby , and now we do n't , and someone 's gon na pay for that . johnny : michael already paid , claudia . he paid with a year of his life because of what we did to him . now he 's gone and turned himself in to the cops for -- claudia : so what ? so what ? i 'm supposed to feel sorry for michael ? he killed my son . johnny : again , it was an accident . and if you ca n't find any compassion for michael , just know that he has been punished enough already . claudia : you never wanted me to have this baby to begin with . johnny : i never wanted you to get hurt . i never wanted you to marry a man who was n't gon na love you genuinely . and i 'm not saying that everybody 's even now , but i am saying it 's over . your baby is gone , and now the truth about that shooting is gon na come out . it 's bound to , and there 's nothing we can do to stop it .

[ monitor beeping loudly ] carly : you just set aside your investigation of the brilliant attorney who has gotten away with murder before ? do you remember luis alcazar ? do you ? because she claimed to be nuts then . how do we know she did n't freak out tonight ? jax : okay , okay , okay . you know what ? you 've given mac your statement , and that is all -- carly : okay , listen . people have filed false confessions before . michael is scared , and he was n't thinking . mac : i 'll take that into consideration . carly : michael did n't do this , mac !

[ scene_break ] carly : you got in a fight with the mayor 's wife , and then you pulled on to harbor view road driving like a maniac . you 're the one who drove claudia off the road . then you showed up later to check out the evidence . alexis : carly , where are you getting this from ? carly : i was there . it was n't michael 's car , and i 'm beginning to think it was yours . alexis : i saw the report -- the description that you gave to lucky . in that report , you said that you could n't clearly recall the car -- carly : i said that it was a small , light - colored car , kind of like the new white hybrid you 're driving around . alexis : i understand your need to protect your son . i would do the same thing if i were in your position . carly : you know what mac told me ? you were the only suspect until michael confessed . alexis : carly , i did n't do it , nor was i charged . carly : and now you 're taking advantage of michael , who is confused and -- alexis : michael walked into that police station on his own and -- carly : michael is innocent , and i am not gon na let you frame him , you self- righteous bitch , 'cause it 's not gon na happen ! do you hear me ? jax : alexis ? what are you doing here this late ? alexis : jax , i 'm sorry . carly : alexis is the one that caused the accident , and now she 's trying to frame michael .

[ cellphone beeps ] katie : gosh . belt testing tonight . he 's a little nervous . donna : whoo . brooke : nice . liam : oh , my god . he 's gon na kill it . he 's gon na do great . donna : well , liam , you know you -- you have our support , right ? no matter how you decide to handle this . katie : yeah , you do , and -- and , brooke , you do , too . i mean , i just hate that this is causing tension in your relationship with ridge . it 's .. donna : he really did n't believe you at first . he -- he thought that you pushed thomas over the cliff on purpose . brooke : he was just upset . i mean , his son was in the hospital , fighting for his life . liam : okay , but what , like , is that supposed to excuse what thomas did , keeping the truth from hope and me all that time ? ah , hey , i understand a father wanting to be supportive of his child , but thomas is not a child . he 's a full - grown man , a full - grown man who has been manipulating all of us to get what he wants , which is -- which is hope . i mean , hope is the one thing that 's been driving all of his behavior . hope is the reason that he showed up at steffy 's , 'cause she told him that she was annulling the marriage , and he would n't accept that . in fact , it 's not even clear if he has yet , or if he ever will . katie : so you agree he has not changed . liam : yes ! of course not . what , you fall from a cliff , and then your whole personality changes ? no , it does n't work like that . he 's not a different person . he wants everybody to think he 's a different person , but it 's the same guy , which is why i 'm worried about what 's gon na happen when he 's released , like what 's he gon na pull next ? donna : what ? he -- he ca n't do anything , can he ? i mean , the whole marriage to hope was a fraud . if he fights the annulment , he 'll -- he 'll lose . katie : well , i think what liam is trying to say is that thomas is ... unpredictable and ... calculating . liam : exactly . donna : yeah . liam : that 's exactly what he is . i mean , that 's -- that 's why he cleared brooke of any fault for his fall , right ? 'cause he 's trying to score points . and not just points with hope or with his dad , but , like , us , too . brooke : it did n't work , at least not with me . i watched while he took advantage of hope 's suffering , and if he thinks i 'm gon na just move past that , if ridge expects me to ... donna : brooke ... brooke ... you and ridge love each other so much . you ca n't let this come between you . brooke : i do n't wan na let it come between us , donna . but what happens when thomas comes back from the hospital ? i mean , this has been his home . he and douglas have been living here ever since they came back from new york . and ridge is gon na want him here , close , recuperating . i mean , what happens then ? [ cup clatters ] liam : i mean ... [ sighs ] ridge has to see that that 's a terrible idea , right ? hope and i are living down there in the cabin with beth , and so thomas is gon na come and stay here and just totally respect that ? no , of course he 's not . he 's gon na try to insinuate himself again . katie : yeah , this is -- this is not gon na end well . liam : then what happens ? we 're all supposed to just act like it 's fine , like turn a blind eye , act like him coming back from the hospital is some kind of fresh start ? no . the man systematically targeted my wife , and he used his -- his innocent child as a puppet . now i - i - i can not let that keep happening , and , brooke , i ... i do n't know if you can either . [ scene_break ] alex : when i was here before , it was about thomas 's fall and what happened . i have n't had a chance yet to question him about emma 's accident , if that 's really what it was . ridge : it was . tragic accident . alex : well , how can you be clear ? were you there ? how about you , thomas ? thomas : what about me ? alex : well , as you 're undoubtedly aware , xander avant says that you were there that fateful night when emma 's car went off mulholland . ridge : detective , i know this is still an ongoing investigation , and you wan na follow every lead , but xander and thomas -- there was no love lost between those two , so it would n't surprise me -- alex : if he was pointing a finger at thomas for retaliation for threatening xander . ridge : well , it 's your words , not mine . alex : yeah , but that 's what you think , right ? that 's what you both think . you let xander 's contention that not only was thomas there that night , he was also chasing emma , trying to stop her from telling hope the truth about her baby , a secret that you wanted kept because you wanted hope for yourself . is that what happened ? ridge : okay . i think that 's enough , do n't you ? my son is recovering from a very serious accident . but if you wan na question him now , i 'll just make sure my lawyer 's present . alex : that 's fine . the facts always have a way of coming out , do n't they ? ridge : is that all , detective ? alex : you know , there 's just one more thing . we have flo fulton in custody , as you 're both aware . i 've spoken with her . ridge : and ? alex : thomas ' name did come up . she does n't paint a very pretty picture of you . her testimony could be damaging . look , i understand a father 's need to protect his son . quite frankly , mr. forrester , in the end , i believe that emma barber 's death and the lie and conspiracy about hope and liam spencer 's baby -- it 's gon na catch up with thomas . you guys have a good day . [ scene_break ] liam : [ sighs ] i 'm ... i 'm sorry . i do n't ... mean to put you on the spot , 'cause i know what a difficult position you 're in , being married to thomas ' father . donna : ha . you think ? liam : but i also know how much you love your daughter and how protective you 've been of hope as a mother , and just the idea that you would let this guy get away with what he 's done to your family -- brooke : liam , i -- i 'm not going to just sit back and do nothing . the question is ... katie : how do you do something without undermining your marriage ? brooke : [ sighs ] donna : you and ridge have fought so hard to get where you are now . we 'd hate to see you risk all that . brooke : but i do n't wan na risk it . it 's just this whole thing with thomas . ridge swears he does n't have blinders on where thomas is concerned , and he realizes the harm that thomas has done to so many . but he wo n't hold him accountable . he gets defensive , and i push back , and i do n't want it to be that way . but it 's that way because of thomas . thomas put me in that awful position . i either have to fight to protect my daughter , or i have to fight for my marriage to ridge . [ scene_break ] thomas : can you believe this guy ? he just -- he comes over here , and he 's dredging up all this stuff about emma 's death , thinking he can what , he can -- he can convince me to confess to something i did n't do ? what a joke . ridge : joke ? it 's a joke to you ? you think you can just shrug this off ? these are serious accusations . thomas : you just told detective sanchez that -- ridge : i know what i told him . i talked to flo also , and she can make life very difficult for you , even -- even from jail . thomas : i thought you were on my side . ridge : you 're my son . that does n't give you a pass , not for what you did to hope or what you did to emma . thomas : i ca n't believe this . wait , you -- that you could actually think i would kill -- ridge : does n't matter what i think . you got ta think . this -- this could be potentially very , very dangerous for you . you could lose your freedom . i do n't want that for you . thomas : i do n't want it either . i hate that all this happened , okay ? that i -- that i got caught up in something , and i kept lying and ... i 'm sorry . i 'm sorry to all the people that i hurt , but i 'm sorry to you for letting you down . i 'm scared , dad . look , i ca n't go to prison . i got a whole life ahead of me , but more importantly , douglas -- that little boy needs a father , just like i need you . you 're the only one who 's here for me . you 're it . help me , dad . please ? help me . [ scene_break ] liam : yeah . yeah , no , it should be any second now . well , you -- you can . i just do n't know if they like vegan . [ laughs ] then you should give 'em one anyway and just -- and do , like , a little taste test , see if they like it . all right . you good ? okay . see you soon . [ cellphone beeps ] liam : that was hope . i 'm just letting her know that katie and donna are on their way down . brooke : oh , good . liam : yeah . brooke : she and beth are gon na be excited to see them . liam : [ chuckles ] yeah . yeah , it 'll be good . what about you , though ? not -- i mean , i - i know that ... [ laughs ] i know that you 're -- you 're happy for hope and beth and me , just ... with thomas still in the picture ... listen , i do n't want -- i do n't want anything bad to happen between you and ridge as a couple , but enough is enough , right ? and -- and thomas keeps committing crime after crime . let 's be honest . that -- that is what they are . he 's committing crimes , like what he did with emma , running her off the road . brooke : okay , wait . the police are still investigating . no charges have been made . liam : yes , but until charges have been made , he 's a free man , brooke , and that 's got ta scare you as much as it scares me , 'cause i - i do n't want him anywhere near hope and beth , right ? so if he moves in here , then -- then what ? like , we got ta move out . brooke : oh . [ sighs ] liam : and -- which is crazy , because i am trying to give them time as mother and daughter to bond , so that 's like the last thing i want right now . but i 'm still convinced that thomas is just as devious as ever . and ridge does n't see it , but you see it , and i see it , so ... [ sighs ] i do n't know . can we just -- can we -- can we work together to make sure that thomas does n't do any more damage to our family ? [ scene_break ] thomas : look , i know you -- you defended me , like with detective sanchez just now . and i 'm not worthy . i do n't deserve it . look , i 've done horrible things , things that i am ashamed of . but you 're still here . you 're here for me , and ... that means a lot , 'cause i need you . dad , i need you now more than ever . ridge : can i ask you a question ? but you need to be honest with me . sanchez was talking about the night that emma died , and we all know that xander thinks that you 're responsible . look at me and tell me the truth about that night . did you do it ? did you chase emma ? emma : i 'm telling hope . ridge : did you follow her all the way up to mulholland ? [ horn honks ] ridge : did you run her off the road ? thomas : come on , emma . pull over ! [ engine revving ] [ tires screech , crash ] ridge : are you responsible for the young woman 's death ? [ crickets chirping , dog barking in distance ] ridge : tell me the truth .Summarize.[/INST]thomas sits up in his hospital bed and asks the doc if he is better and good enough to go home . he says he is impatient and wants to get back to his life . he has a young son at home wanting to see him . dr. armstrong says he would normally like to keep him another day or two but considering his son he will check out a few vital signs and then probably will release him . before ridge leaves , detective sanchez comes in and says he hears thomas might be released soon so he assumes he is up to answering a few more questions . brooke meets with donna and katie and they want to know anything new with thomas or ridge . she says she thinks ridge is still waiting for her to go and apologize to thomas . katie says surely when thomas is released he does not expect to go home as if nothing ever happened . donna says he can not escape the consequences of what he has done . liam walks in and says thomas will not escape . he is going to make sure of it . he says thomas is a full grown man , not a child , and he has used all this time to keep him and hope apart and from beth . he is not a different person , he is the same guy . and he worries what he might do when he is released . yes he cleared brooke of pushing him but he did that to gain brownie points . he does not want to turn a blind eye to what might happen now . he reminds brooke that thomas will expect to come back and stay in the only home he has known since returning to l.a. and that will be only a few feet from the cabin with he and hope . and thomas will spend time insinuating himself in hope 's life again . brooke has spent so much time trying to protect hope so do not sit by and let thomas get his way . brooke says she has no intention of doing that , but it seems like she may be fighting thomas but also ridge and for her marriage .</s> | 5,293 |

[ scene_break ] valentin : i apologize . i know that sometimes i can be overly passionate . anna : well , i do n't have any objection to passion . valentin : yeah , that 's definitely been my impression of you . nina : why are you passionate about this photograph ? valentin : because it is a ... memento . it 's a relic from my past . it reminds me of how far i 've come , how far i 've yet to go .

[ scene_break ] anna : what do you think ? andré : you found this ? in valentin 's possession ? anna : not me , no . uh , a representative , but , yeah , they confirmed that it was in his possession . andré : and you have no idea how he got it ? anna : that 's where you come in . andré : how ? i mean , i 'd like to help , but you 've been at the wsb much longer than me . your connections are a lot stronger than mine . anna : okay , this was taken when i was a trainee . and -- and i 've had robert look into it . and he says that there 's no record valentin ever went through the program , either as himself or as an alias . but this photograph proves that he was there . and he at least has a relationship with the school . andré : not necessarily . for all we know , he could have gotten that information from someone else , someone who did know you back in the day . [ scene_break ] nina : when you say you have far to go , what are you talking about ? career goals ? life goals ? valentin : when i was younger , i set certain goals for myself . some of them i 've realized , and ... some i 've yet to achieve . nina : what does that have to do with the photograph ? valentin : it had sentimental value to me . nina : you 're doing that again . valentin : what ? what am i doing ? nina : the mysterious thing . that . you -- you drop something like a hint , then you pull back . and that does n't work for me anymore . valentin : i apologize . there are certain things that i protect from my past very possessively . i do n't trust people very easily . nina : okay , well , do n't we have to take a leap of faith ? i mean , should n't you take a leap of faith ? do n't we both have to do that ? do n't we have to trust each other to have a relationship ? [ scene_break ] lulu : i could lose custody of charlotte ? i 'm gon na need to hear that from the lawyer in person . laura : i told her not to come . lulu : why ? laura : because i think we need the chance to talk through this together , you know ? we need to come up with sort of a plan before we start racking up legal fees and all -- lulu : there 's nothing to talk about . i am charlotte 's mom . i want her with me . laura : i know , honey , but there are different ways to get charlotte . lulu : are you saying that the lawyer thinks my case is weak ? laura : no , no , it 's just not the slam dunk that you think it is . lulu : i 'm her mother . i am happily married . i can offer her a safe , stable home with -- with a father who 's a decorated police detective and a brother who already loves her . valentin is a single parent and he is a murderer . laura : i know . i understand all of that . but charlotte is old enough that the family court judge could take her wishes into consideration , and clearly , she adores valentin . lulu : because she 's a child , and she has no idea what he is capable of . laura : yes . yes . right . which is why we have to have our very best strategy to win before we declare war . lulu : meaning ? laura : meaning strike a deal with valentin . share custody .

[ clears throat ] what about the world where you kissed me last night ? or are you going to deny that ever happened ? [ scene_break ] sam : all right , so we 're done talking about julian . lucas : yes , please . sam : okay . well , what are you doing for new year 's ? lucas : working . sam : oh , bummer . lucas : yeah , i know . hey , did danny like his christmas present ? sam : he loved his presents , yes . yes ! he really wants to thank you in person , but i 'm gon na give you fair warning . ever since he found out that i was pregnant , he 's super into being a big brother . [ chuckles ] and he keeps pestering me about when you and brad are gon na have kids because he wants to be a big cousin . lucas : nope . not gon na happen . sam : no ? lucas : no , brad keeps bringing up that topic , and every time he does , i change the subject . sam : why ? that 's silly . you guys are great with danny . you would be great dads . lucas : no . i mean , thank you , but every time i think about kids , i think about family . sam : yeah . lucas : and every time i think about family , i think about julian . sam : yeah . lucas : yeah . and i know that he would want to place himself into my hypothetical child 's life , and i do n't want that . sam : i do n't blame you . julian only cares about what he wants . lucas : yeah , that 's exactly my point . i do n't trust anyone or anything with him at this point . it 's too dangerous . [ scene_break ] julian : so you were , uh , too drunk to remember kissing me last night . alexis : it meant nothing . julian : ah , so it 's just the booze that was talking . is that it ? alexis : i was n't drunk , unfortunately . just trying to give you a tiny , tiny taste of how you treat me . julian : oh , alexis , i ... [ sighs ] i wish i could make you understand . alexis : understand what ? you keep saying something like it 's some profound thing you have to tell me . just spit it out . what are you waiting for ? [ doorbell rings ] alexis : i guess the bombshell is gon na have to wait . who the hell is that ? julian : i have no idea . alexis : get over there . julian : [ sighs ] [ sighs ] bombshell is , i 'm protecting you and the kids . alexis : hello . julian : hello . i 'm here to see julian . alexis : do you work for him ? because i 've never seen you before . julian : i work with him , not for him . curtis : damn , that 's just weird . [ scene_break ] sam : i 'm gon na kill you right now with some pictures . danny -- adorable . lucas : yeah , that 's not danny . sam : what ? lucas : that 's a picture of a plastic chinese food bag . sam : oh . oh , that 's nothing . it 's just something i 'm working on . lucas : okay , well , is that a client of yours ? because if they are , you should definitely have a talk with them and tell them that they need to get a new translator , because those characters do not come close to translating to `` good taste `` in chinese . not even close . [ scene_break ] curtis : whoa , look at this boat right here . how much does this cost ? rudge : oh , uh , that 's not for sale . well , i mean , it is -- it is for sale , but i 'm -- i 'm holding it for one of my , uh -- my regular customers .

[ scene_break ] rudge : thank you . alexis : there he is . rudge : [ sighs ] you never told me what a lovely wife you have , julian . alexis : ex - wife . rudge : ah . sorry for you . although , you must be doing something right if your ex - wife is here looking after you after your accident . my darling , would you mind giving us a minute ? we need to talk shop . alexis : you do n't have to ask me twice . julian : how 'd you know i was here ? rudge : we have our ways . you , uh ... julian : ow ! rudge : ... failed to tell me that you would be relocating when i saw you at your sister 's the other day . julian : yeah , well , i , uh -- i did n't know about it then , so ... rudge : hmm . well , you 've had plenty of time to inform us of your new address since , have n't you ? julian : mm . rudge : it does n't look good , julian -- you keeping secrets . so , in the spirit of ... open - mindedness , our boss has asked me to show you something that we 've been keeping from you . [ scene_break ] andré : the hints valentin has dropped about your early days with the wsb , the reference to the academy motto , the story about you learning russian -- any one of your former classmates or instructors could have been feeding him that information . anna : that 's very reasonable , yeah . andré : but you do n't buy it . anna : no . because valentin enjoys provoking me . every word out of his mouth is calculated , and he watches me for my reaction . so whatever happened between us , it 's very personal for him . [ scene_break ] nina : i 've been warned by everybody i know not to trust you , but i am here -- i 'm in your life , i 'm in your house . so i 'm the one taking a big risk here . valentin : and you have n't learned that i will never hurt you . nina : and i 'm just supposed to trust you ? valentin : i hope so . nina : okay , good . then you have to trust me . valentin : i have a whole lifetime of experience to teach me not to trust anybody . but i seem to be making an exception for you , my darling nina . [ scene_break ] lulu : i ca n't believe that you , of all people , would ask me to do this . laura : hear me out , honey . lulu : how can you ask me to share custody of my daughter with the man who murdered my brother ? laura : because i 'm afraid of the consequences you might face if you do n't win . you 're asking the court to take a little girl away from the only family she 's ever known and place her full - time with you , a stranger . lulu : i 'm her mother . laura : i know , but charlotte does n't know that , sweetie . she only knows valentin and claudette . lulu : that is exactly why i need to get custody of her right now so she can start bonding with me . laura : right , and joint custody -- it 's a temporary solution . you strike a deal with valentin , so that you have time to build some trust with charlotte and lull him into a false state of security . and then we bide our time until the circumstances favor us . lulu : and when they do ? laura : we pull the rug right out from under the bastard , and we take our girl home for good . and we have to be a little bit patient , but the wsb will get enough information on him to throw him in a hole so deep that he will never be able to crawl out of it . and with valentin gone , you will be free and clear to have charlotte . lulu : this is n't just about me having custody of charlotte . if valentin was an ordinary man , a good man , of course , i would share with him . i honestly believe that he is a danger to charlotte . every day that passes is another day that my daughter is in danger . i have to fight for charlotte now . one way or another , i will win . [ scene_break ] nina : wow , valentin cassadine trusts me . valentin : you have no idea how rare it is for me to say it , but , yes , i trust you . nina : enough to tell me about the photograph ? valentin : ca n't a guy have a few secrets ? nina : so it bothers you ? valentin : yeah . yeah , it bothers me . nina : just tell me about it , please . valentin : some pain is useful . it can help me from making the same mistake again . nina : are you gon na tell me ? valentin : there was a person , somebody i trusted . nina : and you should n't have ? valentin : i let her in . i let her see the real me . and she made me pay a steep price . nina : it was a `` her . `` and you have n't trusted anybody else since ? valentin : charlotte . nina : n - nobody else ? nobody to confide in or to be real with ? valentin : well , it sounds very sad when you put it like that , yeah . nina : there 's good news . valentin : how do you figure ? nina : well , if you let charlotte in ... ... then maybe you 're willing to let somebody else in , too .

[ laughing ] oh ! yeah . right into you . what , you do n't want to see the rest when she drives off up the road and leaves you to die ? julian : she called 911 . rudge : oh , that was very big of her . julian : yeah . police said that the footage from the security camera was unusable . rudge : oh , well , perhaps someone got there before and took all the good bits . i would n't be very good at my job if i did n't keep tabs on things . look , no one wants the truth about your accident to come out , now , do they ? imagine what that would do to your ex - wife 's standing with the bar association . julian : listen to me . alexis may be my ex - wife , but i love her very much . so if you harm her ... rudge : oh . julian : ... in any way ... rudge : no , nothing 's going to happen . do n't you worry . because you 're not going to let it happen . right ? i 'll let myself out . [ door opens , closes ] [ scene_break ] laura : well , then , the next step for you would be to sit down with your husband and your lawyer and chart your case . lulu : that 's it ? laura : what 's it ? lulu : i thought you would fight me harder , say that i 'm pushing too much , that i should be more open to compromise . i mean , that is what you just said . you 're backing off faster than i would expect you to . laura : well , you know , honey , you 're a mother and charlotte is your daughter , and you should do whatever you need to do to protect her . lulu : even if you think my method is wrong ? laura : bottom line , lulu -- i 've got your back . your daughter belongs with you , no matter what .

[ scene_break ] laura : how was olivia 's visit with rocco and his new dog ? lulu : well , you know olivia . she rolls with the punches . and apparently , leo loves yankee . laura : it 's so cute that he named his dog after his favorite team . lulu : i think that dante may have had a hand in that . laura : oh . lulu : but rocco is on cloud nine . laura : he was so happy on christmas morning . lulu : i know . the only thing that was missing was charlotte . i have to get her away from valentin as soon as possible . laura : i spoke to scott . he gave me the name of the very best family attorney around . lulu : great , well , we 've got a solid case . i mean , what court is gon na keep that little girl from her mother ? especially when they find out the truly insane way that charlotte was conceived . and her childhood ? no way . laura : actually , according to our attorney , plenty of courts would do just that . [ scene_break ] anna : what do you think ? andré : you found this ? in valentin 's possession ? anna : not me , no . uh , a representative , but , yeah , they confirmed that it was in his possession . andré : and you have no idea how he got it ? anna : that 's where you come in . andré : how ? i mean , i 'd like to help , but you 've been at the wsb much longer than me . your connections are a lot stronger than mine . anna : okay , this was taken when i was a trainee . and -- and i 've had robert look into it . and he says that there 's no record valentin ever went through the program , either as himself or as an alias . but this photograph proves that he was there . and he at least has a relationship with the school . andré : not necessarily . for all we know , he could have gotten that information from someone else , someone who did know you back in the day . [ scene_break ] nina : when you say you have far to go , what are you talking about ? career goals ? life goals ? valentin : when i was younger , i set certain goals for myself . some of them i 've realized , and ... some i 've yet to achieve . nina : what does that have to do with the photograph ? valentin : it had sentimental value to me . nina : you 're doing that again . valentin : what ? what am i doing ? nina : the mysterious thing . that . you -- you drop something like a hint , then you pull back . and that does n't work for me anymore . valentin : i apologize . there are certain things that i protect from my past very possessively . i do n't trust people very easily . nina : okay , well , do n't we have to take a leap of faith ? i mean , should n't you take a leap of faith ? do n't we both have to do that ? do n't we have to trust each other to have a relationship ? [ scene_break ] lulu : i could lose custody of charlotte ? i 'm gon na need to hear that from the lawyer in person . laura : i told her not to come . lulu : why ? laura : because i think we need the chance to talk through this together , you know ? we need to come up with sort of a plan before we start racking up legal fees and all -- lulu : there 's nothing to talk about . i am charlotte 's mom . i want her with me . laura : i know , honey , but there are different ways to get charlotte . lulu : are you saying that the lawyer thinks my case is weak ? laura : no , no , it 's just not the slam dunk that you think it is . lulu : i 'm her mother . i am happily married . i can offer her a safe , stable home with -- with a father who 's a decorated police detective and a brother who already loves her . valentin is a single parent and he is a murderer . laura : i know . i understand all of that . but charlotte is old enough that the family court judge could take her wishes into consideration , and clearly , she adores valentin . lulu : because she 's a child , and she has no idea what he is capable of . laura : yes . yes . right . which is why we have to have our very best strategy to win before we declare war . lulu : meaning ? laura : meaning strike a deal with valentin . share custody .

[ scene_break ] andré : the hints valentin has dropped about your early days with the wsb , the reference to the academy motto , the story about you learning russian -- any one of your former classmates or instructors could have been feeding him that information . anna : that 's very reasonable , yeah . andré : but you do n't buy it . anna : no . because valentin enjoys provoking me . every word out of his mouth is calculated , and he watches me for my reaction . so whatever happened between us , it 's very personal for him .

[ samantha laughs ] samantha : so because it did n't fit into your timetable , that gave you the right to take it away ? why do n't you be honest for just once in your life , mother . you were n't protecting me . it was about you . it 's always been about you . and that 's all you have now . deacon : jackie , i 'm doing this for your own good . you got a good head on those pretty shoulders . i want you think real carefully about the ramifications of keeping this secret . jackie : yeah ? like what ? deacon : i do n't know . like , ah , what if something happens to the kid down the road ? jackie : oh ! deacon : i 'm not the grim reaper here , but i am a realist . if he goes to the hospital and they take a blood test -- come on , with all the technology they have now , the entire secret blows up . jackie : yeah , but it could still blow up in my face if i tell them now -- deacon : we are talking about a much bigger disaster ! come on , look , by this time , nick is bonded with this kid . they 've spent years together . they 're attached . you not only -- jackie , you not only have ruined your son 's life , he 'll never speak to you again . massimo : dominick , your mother and i were only trying to help . believe me . but i promise you , from now on , we will keep our nose out of your business . nick : i know you just want to be a good father , but you do n't have to try so hard . you already are . massimo : well , that certainly is nice to hear . but i wish your brother felt the same way . nick : ridge is mad at me , not you . massimo : oh , that 's what i thought , until -- [ massimo sighs ] he gave me back his marone ring . we 're not in a very good place right now , i 'm afraid . nick : i did n't mean to tear this family apart like this . i 'm sorry . massimo : no , no , dominick , you have nothing to feel guilty about . you are doing what is best for your son , and that is honorable ! and ridge -- well , ridge will come to see that . nick : well , i hope you 're right . you know , i can be a real `` payne `` sometimes , do n't you think ? massimo : oh , come on . nick : no ? well , i for one am tired of being a `` payne `` -- in the neck , or any kind for that matter . massimo : what are you talking about ? nick : what do you think of the name nick marone ? massimo : wait a second . are you saying -- ? nick : i 'd like to carry on the family name . i 'd like my son to carry the name on as well . massimo : oh , god , dominick . you have no idea how badly i have wanted that . have you , my son and my grandson , to take on the family name -- oh , god ! i just did n't want to pressure you . nick : i appreciate that . massimo : but now that you brought it up , i would like to case my vote on your son 's first name . if you do n't mind , all right ? now , see , this is what i think . i think that dominick marone , jr. has a nice ring to it . what do you say ? nick : junior ? massimo : yeah . nick : maybe i ought to pass that by brooke first . [ massimo laughs ] massimo : oh ! who would 've ever guessed it , huh -- two old salts standing around , coming up with a name for your son -- my grandson of all things . nick : i think this kid 's making me soft . massimo : no . no , dominick . no , not at all . what this kid is doing is making you stronger . he 's changing your life , for the better . jackie : okay , okay , okay ! you have made your gruesome point , all right ? but how do you plan to get the samples anyway to run another bloody paternity test ? deacon : come here . check this out . listen . although this is not the preferred method , you can still get results by taking a hair from one of the potential father 's scalps . you then extract the dna or something from the follicle . jackie : oh , okay . oh ! so you 're going to start pulling hairs from nick and ridge 's heads ? deacon : it says that `` if only one of the potential fathers is available , you can still get a conclusive result . `` and so , we just need one potential daddy , one potential hair . you know what occurs to me is that nick has been under a tremendous amount of stress lately . i 'm sure he 's gotten a few new gray hairs . we would n't want to tarnish that golden boy image . jackie : oh . deacon : jackie -- jackie , listen . you can do this . you can do this . all you have to do is discreetly pull a hair -- it can be gray , it can be blond . jackie : oh , god . deacon : come on . all you got ta do is , you know , play the pestering mother routine . that should n't be too hard . he 's never gon na know what hit him . or plucked him . [ jackie sighs ] jackie : ca n't i just take one from his pillow ? deacon : no , no , no , no , no , no ! it 's got ta be a live follicle . now here 's the tricky part -- we have to get the original results . we have to be able to match it from nick 's hair to the baby 's dna . jackie : well , that 's impossible , is n't it ? i mean , we ca n't just march into dr. paxson 's old office and demand the paternity test results . deacon : all right , all right . you might be right about that . we may have to -- we might have to be a little more creative . priscilla : how can you think my motives were purely selfish , when i have helped you gain so much ? just look at what you 've been able to achieve since then . you 've become a world - renowned interior designer , not to mention traveling around the world . samantha : because nothing ever felt like home . because i was searching for something that was missing from my life . i was desperately trying to fill this hole in my heart . do you even know what that is , mother -- a heart ? i always thought there was something wrong with me . i did n't date . i never seemed to love . when you knew what i needed -- my family was here all along . how could you take that away from your own daughter ? priscilla : you 're not the only one who has suffered . i left my life in los angeles and moved across the country , so i could give you a fresh start . samantha : am i supposed to feel sorry for you ? priscilla : i just want you to understand that it has n't been easy for me , either . samantha : i will never understand your sick , twisted mind . or how you could do the things that you did to me -- to my child -- to hector . never . priscilla : not a day has gone by that i did n't think about what i had done . the damage that i have caused . and it has weighed very heavily on my heart . and yes , i do have one . samantha : so that 's supposed to be your pathetic attempt at an apology ? priscilla : i regret what i have done , more than i can say . but that was a long time ago . things were different then . it was a different time . and i hope that i 'm a different person now . that being said , i think it 's time to put it everything behind us and move on . samantha : just like that . priscilla : the sooner we move on , the better . i assume you 're going to see your daughter tomorrow . i 'd like to be there . perhaps i can help . samantha : no . i do n't want you to inflict any more of your so - called `` help `` on my daughter . you 're not family to me anymore . samantha : i have a new family -- the one that you kept from me . and i want you to stay away from them . and while you 're at it , stay the hell away from me , too ! priscilla : samantha ! please , do n't shut me out of your life ! samantha : you told me that my daughter was dead . but she is n't . you 're the one who is dead . good - bye , mother . priscilla : she does n't mean that . she 's just emotional . stephanie : no , priscilla . i 'm afraid not . i do n't think she 's ever gon na forgive you .

there 's a sure - fire way to kill the mood . chelsea : it felt like -- like i was cheating on him or something . billy : what about me ? you dream about me a lot ? chelsea : okay , stop . that 's not why i called . billy : sounds to me like that 's exactly why you called -- let me know that deep , deep , deep down inside , you just ca n't cut me out of your life . chelsea : i called because ... because -- i do n't know . because i 'm an idiot . billy : with excellent timing . i have some news . chelsea : okay . billy : victoria and i are officially divorced . chelsea : oh . billy : okay . i am an unmarried , single person , and that 's all you got ? `` oh `` ? chelsea : um ... what -- what is it , mom ? is -- is connor okay ? oh , you know what , billy ? i 'm really sorry . i got to go . sharon : devon is n't making this harder for you , is he ? hilary : no , not at all . sharon : it 's just -- the look on your face . you know , family tensions can be tricky , especially in times like this . hilary : no . devon is -- he 's -- devon : hey , you two . hey , sharon . uh , lily wanted me to let you know that she has some paperwork she 's finishing up , but she 's on her way . sharon : oh , okay . great . thanks . devon : and , uh , is malcolm with neil ? hilary : yeah . they had some time last night and then again this morning . devon : well , the good thing is malcolm knows how to cut to the chase , so he 'll be honest with him , no matter how difficult it is to deal with . hilary : whatever makes things easier for my husband . devon : right . hilary : that 's all i want . lily : hi . sorry i 'm late . devon : hi . jabot meeting means i 'm gon na take off . lily : no , actually . um , you should stay . there 's something i have to say to hilary about dad . devon : we 've heard it all . it 's getting old . lily : no . i need to say this . and this is very new . thank you . nick : your mother was worried sick about you last night . mariah : are you really gon na guilt me about this by calling sharon my mother ? nick : well , that 's what she is , so ... mariah : she 's not my mother . nick : faith was extremely worried about you , too . mariah : playing the faith card . that 's a low blow . nick : she knows that you are her sister now . she could n't be more excited about that . mariah : so get her a new doll and she 'll forget about it . look , i said that i would stay in town , but i never said that i would stay with you people . nick : look , you are an adult . and this has been a huge change in your life , but i am asking you to please come home . mariah : why ? because suddenly i owe mommy undying love ? i do n't know her . nick : sharon has forgiven you over and over again . i really do n't know what else you need to know about her . mariah : and then she treated me like a crazy slut . so i guess it 's a wash . nick : all right , where did you stay last night , because it does n't seem like you were at the athletic club or your crummy hotel . mariah : i got tipsy and i crashed on some guy 's couch because that 's the type of irresponsible floozy i am . nick : mariah -- mariah : no , no . do n't play daddy with me . i 'm not interested . i 'm an adult . nick : fine , then start acting like one . do you want ian to be able to track you down again ? mariah , you were able to get away from him last time 'cause sharon and i were there to help you . who knows what 's gon na happen next time . and i know it seems like you do n't care about what happens to you , but trust me , sharon sure as hell does . mariah : oh , my god . sharon , sharon , sharon , sharon . she wo n't marry you and you worship her . stop acting like she is the center of the world for you , because she 's not , and she sure as hell is not for me . neil : now that you 've broken me down so you can build me back up , are you proud of yourself ? malcolm : neil , you got a long road in front of you . you just got to face it head on . neil : ca n't i just be miserable for a minute ? malcolm : no . no , neil . your minute 's up . and besides , that 's not my big brother . you do n't wallow , neil . the man i know takes action , just like when devon had meningitis and he lost his hearing . you had learned sign language before he even got out of the hospital . you know why ? because that 's your son . and now you do what you need to do for yourself . braille , computer programming , whatever it takes , but you embrace your weakness and you make it your strength . neil : it sounds so easy on paper . malcolm : so flip the script . but no more self - pity , neil , no more denial , and no more grouchy old bear . you got a whole team of people here who love you . neil , you are a husband and a father . people are depending on you . right now is your time to step it up . neil : you 're right . i might have a long road to travel . i admitted i 'm scared to you . it 's not denial . it 's optimism -- that i got you and i can beat this with you and a whole lot of other people that i 'm walking on this road with , so i thank you . and i love you , man . malcolm : you 're my brother , man . you 're all i got . lily : [ sighs ] you hurt us all last year . and the things that you did were cruel and they were awful . and i thought that 's all you were capable of was hurting our father . sharon : maybe i should step away . you know , we can have this meeting later . lily : no , it 's fine . please stay . i mean , you know better than anyone that families are complicated . and sometimes , you have to bend and shift . sharon : well , that 's true . it 's the only thing that helps a family grow . and it either grows or it dies . lily : exactly . hilary , i thought you were killing this family . and meanwhile , i was just hacking at it with insults and cheap shots , even if it hurt my dad . but you 've been patient and you 've been kind , and it 's obvious that you love him . and as hard as it is for me to say this ... i 'm really glad that neil has you to count on . kevin : coffee is good . it can distract you . you , uh , stir stuff in and it alleviates the need for conversation . nick : did n't you sell this place , kevin ? kevin : i did . but i like to feel needed . are you okay ? mariah : yeah . i 'm fantastic . i 'm fine . nick : you made a friend . mariah : yeah , well , he does n't throw me a pity party or tell me what to do . or ... try to marry me and drug me , so , yeah . nick : might seem like there is n't anyone you can trust right now . mariah : you think ? nick : you have seen sharon with noah and faith . you can let yourself trust her . mariah : she 's just someone i owe money to . nick : fine , then pay her back . come to your job , make some money , earn some tips . be an adult . and do n't you think you should , instead of crashing on random people 's couches , come home to a nice , safe bed that 's free of charge ? did you hear any of that ? kevin : she 'd freak out over a pity party , but , um , that was kind of harsh . nick : it was meant to be . she 's gon na need a friend . looks like that person is you . [ cell phone rings ] billy : hey . is connor okay ? chelsea : yep . that was a lie before . and a bad one . connor 's not even here . [ chuckles ] i ... panicked . and now i 'm confessing . billy : you hung up on me . chelsea : yeah . billy : because i 'm divorced and that freaks you out . chelsea : divorcing victoria does n't mean you stop loving her . i guess that 's why i hung up . billy : and you 're right . i will always love her . and if she 's carrying my baby , then i 'm gon na love that kid like crazy , but ... we 're not married anymore . victoria and i do n't have a future , and that 's a fact . and , um ... [ sighs ] i miss you . [ jazz music plays ] neil : oh , yeah , yeah , yeah . you hear that ? that 's it right there . yeah . [ chuckles ] malcolm : it sure is . neil : hilary ? hilary : yes , it 's me . neil : hi , baby . is that devon i hear ? devon : yeah , dad , how you doing ? lily : and me . neil : oh , hey . hi , lily . lily : we just wanted to check in on your guys . you having a good visit ? malcolm : i think we got some things squared away . besides , listen -- good music must mean a good visit , right ? neil : listen , you guys are n't gon na believe this , but your uncle malcolm -- he knows how to shut up once in a while when , uh -- when he has to . especially if the music 's right . [ chuckling ] devon : good to know . neil : and he got me thinking . i 've been so hell bent on doing everything myself that i pushed everyone in the family away . and i - i 'm sincerely sorry about that , all of you . i 'm sorry . hilary : neil , nobody blames you for that . neil : well , they should . 'cause i ca n't see . someday , i 'm gon na look -- i 'm gon na look you all in the eye and let you know how much you mean to me . kevin : as far as dads go , you could do a lot worse than nick newman . mariah : except he 's not my father . turns out he 's the adoptive father of the girl who i look like . he 's not even married to the woman who i share genetic material with . so he 's just a guy who owns a bar that pays me to pour drinks . kevin : yeah , yeah , yeah . so , are you gon na keep your job ? mariah : well , since sharon so desperately needs her money , i have no choice . kevin : really interesting . i mean , because you 're an adult , blah , blah , blah , nobody can make you do anything you do n't want to -- [ snores ] mariah : [ chuckles ] are you trying to say that you think i want to stay here ? kevin : i 'm saying that you talked me into putting you on the back of my bike and leaving town . there 's nothing stopping you . you could probably still leave if you want to , so i 'm asking . do you want to ? faith : and there 's a guinea pig that 's fluffy and a new boy who just moved here . it 's okay , mommy . we were nice to the new boy . do n't be sad . sharon : you 're such a sweet , good girl . and i love hearing all about your first day at school . i 'm very lucky to get to hear all of it . [ door opens ] sharon : did you find her ? nick : yeah . found her at the coffee house . she 's okay . sharon : is mariah coming home ? nick : you know what ? faith -- faith : she 's my sister . nick : fair enough . um ... i got mariah to agree to continue working at the underground , and i would be very surprised if she did n't end up coming back here tonight to sleep in her bed . sharon : you 're amazing . thank you . well , i think that we should celebrate faith 's first day at school and other very good news just the three of us . nick : yeah , sorry , but that 's not gon na happen . billy : so , how does connor like new york ? chelsea : he loves riding the subway . he likes the big giant pretzels . he squealed like crazy on an indoor ferris wheel . it 's amazing -- you know , him seeing and experiencing all this for the first time through these beautiful eyes . that was -- i 'm so sorry , billy . i - i should n't -- i should n't have said that . billy : yeah . yeah , those eyes . it 's okay , chels . delia is a part of connor now . they 're family , and ... it 's reassuring . chelsea : [ sighs ] um ... oh , you know what ? i just -- i just realized the time . i 've -- i 've kept you on the phone for so long . i should go check on my mom and connor . plus , i have to get to another show , so ... billy : so , when fashion week is over ... then what ? chelsea : oh , you know . it 's always fashion week somewhere . billy : yeah , i know . i 'm talking about , um ... chelsea : i - i know what you 're talking about , billy . i got to go . billy : bye . neil : thanks for the album . you -- you still know me . malcolm : yeah , i do . and i also know you 're not gon na thank me for what really matters , so i 'll just say , `` you 're welcome `` and leave it at that . hilary : thank you so much for coming . you know , neil seems better already -- just a little more free . malcolm : listen . my brother 's tough . sometimes he 's too tough . but he let you in , not just on the surface . he let you all the way in , and that 's a big deal . hey , old man . neil : yeah ? malcolm : i 'm just letting your blind little self know that i 'm over here hugging on your wife . [ chuckling ] neil : that 's okay . you can hug her as much as you want , because you 're about to walk out the door and she 's staying here forever . malcolm : you win . lily : all right . it 's my turn . will you please , please , please stay in touch ? malcolm : you keep sending me pictures of those beautiful little twins , and i 'll send you pictures of my photo shoots , whatever they are , wherever they are . because you know that 's just what i do . when i send you a photo ... lily : i know . you 're sending your heart . malcolm : that 's right . [ smooches ] hey , youngster . devon : yeah , man ? malcolm : man to man ... what do you think of hilary ? devon : i think she 's a great woman . and i know she wants to do right by neil , no matter what . malcolm : all right . that 's good to know . all right . listen up , my family . y'all know i ca n't be here every week to make things all right , as much as i would like to . that old man right there -- he got a long way to go , and he 's gon na need some help . but he 's hard - headed . he 's never gon na ask for it . you know that . hey , hilary . it was really nice to meet you . take care of my big brother . devon , i 'm proud of you , man . devon : thanks . malcolm : and lily , uh , you mean the world to me . you know that . i love you guys . lily : love you . neil : love you , too . mariah : is that your way of making me an offer ? kevin : i 'm just asking if you still want to leave town . mariah : do you have an extra helmet ? kevin : you just told nick that -- mariah : yes or no to the helmet ? kevin : yeah . so , we 're leaving town together ? mariah : [ chuckles ] slow your roll . i 'm asking you to drive me to work . i have a debt to pay off . but if you want to split town , you can do that after you drop me off . kevin : and then how are you gon na get home ? great , so now i 'm stuck in town being your taxi driver ? thanks a lot . mariah : you 're welcome . sharon : you ca n't spend the rest of the day with us ? nick : no . sharon : and that 's all you 're gon na say about it ? nick : yep . faith : we have to get school supplies . nick : school supplies . sharon : number - two pencils and -- wow . that 's a big list of supplies . faith : can we go now ? sharon : i do n't know . does daddy want to go with us ? nick : i 'd like to , but i ca n't . sharon : well , you 're being very mysterious , whatever you 're up to . guess we 'll see you later . nick : yep . see you later . faith : bye , daddy . nick : bye .

'cause they always end up wanting to punch each other ? lily : i think he 'll be different this time . i think dad needs someone other than you or me to make things clear to him . devon : clear about what ? his blindness ? do you think malcolm 's gon na make neil drop the denial about it ? lily : he 's our best shot , do n't you think ? devon : if he does n't want to hear it , then no . i do n't think malcolm or anyone , for that matter , is gon na get through to neil until he 's ready . malcolm : chancellor park , huh ?

sharon : if mariah still is in town , i have got to find her . nick : she is still in town . sharon : she did n't come home last night , nick . nick : it does n't mean she left town . sharon : [ sighs ] what if ian 's come back and he 's tracked her down ? nick : ian 's not that stupid . the police are still on his tail . sharon : i do n't like the idea of my daughter out there alone , nick . nick : okay . then i 'll go find her . you take faith to her first day of school . this is a big day for her and for you . faith is growing up so fast . you do n't want to miss any of it . sharon : okay . the second you bring her home , i want to know . nick : i will find her . that does n't mean i can make her come back here . neil : you know , malcolm , it 's been seven years . i 've made peace with dru 's death . malcolm : okay . how often do you think about her ? neil : i mean , there 's some sort of connection that i have with her , some kind of spiritual connection , that i think about her at least once a day . and there 's everything normal with that . malcolm : maybe . but how many serious relationships have you been in since then and how many have you rushed ? neil : i do n't know . malcolm : come on . neil : a few . malcolm : neil , you are the king of jumping in too quickly . you are so desperately trying to rekindle the magic that you once had with dru . you put so much pressure on yourself and your new relationships . you set yourself up to fail . neil : not this time . not with hilary . malcolm : you went on , what -- what did i hear -- two dates before you proposed to her ? neil : so what ? you do n't know her . malcolm : no , but i know you . neil : so you 're saying my marriage is doomed ? malcolm , is that what you 're saying to me ? malcolm : neil , it has n't occurred to you that this is not what she signed up for ? this is just no big deal to you ? neil : hell , yeah , it 's a big deal . but , you see , i 'll tell you just like i 've been telling everybody else . this is just temporary , okay , man ? i - i 'm gon na get my vision back . malcolm : what happens after that ? everything goes back to normal ? neil : yeah , you 're damn right it 's gon na go back to normal . why would n't it go back to normal ? malcolm : hilary loves you . i 'll give you that . but , neil , this has got to be hurting her right now . neil : [ sighs ] malcolm : just because you ca n't see it does n't mean it 's not there , not for her , not for lily , not for devon . neil : i can hear it . i can hear it in their voices . you 're not telling me anything that i do n't know . malcolm : so what are you gon na do about it ? neil : when i get my sight back , everything 's gon na -- malcolm : no , neil . neil , what are you gon na do about it right now ? your beautiful wife may not be there by the time you recover . you ca n't see today . you probably wo n't be able to see tomorrow and who knows how long thereafter . so how long are you gon na make your wife and your family miserable by putting up these walls ? neil , you have to let them help you adjust . neil : you say the word `` adjust `` and what you really mean is `` accept . `` man , now i can hear it . i can hear it in your voice . malcolm : you do n't hear a damn thing in my voice except the truth , which is something you need to face . neil : no . what i need to face is that you came here to help me somehow deal with my impairment . well , i 'm not having it , man . i 'm done . i 'm through . i 'm going home . either you can help me or you can stay here . malcolm : neil . neil , come on . neil . this is silly . come on . billy : so , any update on neil ?

neil : yeah , i know that . that 's what 's gon na get me through this , you know ? i 'm too stubborn to give up and just accept this condition . malcolm : neil , nobody 's saying anything about you giving up . we 're talking about you living the rest of your life . neil : yeah ? live it how ? i mean , since you got all the answers , malcolm . i got two grown kids , one little son , and a brand - new , young , beautiful wife . you know , i have -- i have thought about this six ways from sunday . malcolm : but , see , that 's the thing . you 're always trying to outthink any problem . neil : yeah , and you 're always trying to out - muscle it . what are you gon na do ? huh ? you gon na pin me to the floor and -- and make me admit that i do n't know what i 'm doing , that -- that i 'm scared as hell ? malcolm : neil , do n't make me wrestle a blind man . neil : shut up ! malcolm : okay , all right . that was my bad . but will you just listen to me , please ? neil , we know how strong you are . we know how brave you are . we all respect you for it . but part of being strong is being able to admit when you 're scared . and there 's nothing wrong with it , man . it 's okay . none of us are gon na think less of you because you say , `` i 'm scared . `` you just ca n't deny it any longer . neil : you do n't know what it 's like . you do n't know what it 's like in my world . it 's -- it 's like a black hole , malcolm . i mean , i wake up every morning and there 's no sunshine in my life . and then i get up out of bed and i move around and i know that my wife is watching my every move . do you know how that feels ? and then there 's my son , who i have n't seen since this whole thing happened , and i - i 'm afraid that he 's gon na look me in the eye , and i 'm -- i 'm not gon na be able to look back at him and see his beautiful face . and he 's gon na look at me and say , `` daddy , why ca n't you see ? `` i do n't want to be a burden on my family . i do n't want to be a nuisance at work . but most of all , i do n't want to cheat my wife out of a - a beautiful future that i promised her . is that what you wanted to hear me say ? malcolm : i did n't want to hear it , neil . i needed you to say it . you need to hear yourself say it , so just say the words . say it . it 's for yourself . if you ca n't say it for you , say it for them -- for moses , for lily , for devon . say it for hilary . come on , man . just say it . neil : [ sobbing ] i 'm scared . i 'm scared that i 'm gon na be blind forever , man . i 'm so scared that i 'm not gon na be able to see again . i do n't want to be like this . billy : so , adam showed up in the shower ? there 's a sure - fire way to kill the mood . chelsea : it felt like -- like i was cheating on him or something . billy : what about me ? you dream about me a lot ? chelsea : okay , stop . that 's not why i called . billy : sounds to me like that 's exactly why you called -- let me know that deep , deep , deep down inside , you just ca n't cut me out of your life . chelsea : i called because ... because -- i do n't know . because i 'm an idiot . billy : with excellent timing . i have some news . chelsea : okay . billy : victoria and i are officially divorced . chelsea : oh . billy : okay . i am an unmarried , single person , and that 's all you got ? `` oh `` ? chelsea : um ... what -- what is it , mom ? is -- is connor okay ? oh , you know what , billy ? i 'm really sorry . i got to go . sharon : devon is n't making this harder for you , is he ? hilary : no , not at all . sharon : it 's just -- the look on your face . you know , family tensions can be tricky , especially in times like this . hilary : no . devon is -- he 's -- devon : hey , you two . hey , sharon . uh , lily wanted me to let you know that she has some paperwork she 's finishing up , but she 's on her way . sharon : oh , okay . great . thanks . devon : and , uh , is malcolm with neil ? hilary : yeah . they had some time last night and then again this morning . devon : well , the good thing is malcolm knows how to cut to the chase , so he 'll be honest with him , no matter how difficult it is to deal with . hilary : whatever makes things easier for my husband . devon : right . hilary : that 's all i want . lily : hi . sorry i 'm late . devon : hi . jabot meeting means i 'm gon na take off . lily : no , actually . um , you should stay . there 's something i have to say to hilary about dad . devon : we 've heard it all . it 's getting old . lily : no . i need to say this . and this is very new . thank you . nick : your mother was worried sick about you last night . mariah : are you really gon na guilt me about this by calling sharon my mother ? nick : well , that 's what she is , so ... mariah : she 's not my mother . nick : faith was extremely worried about you , too . mariah : playing the faith card . that 's a low blow . nick : she knows that you are her sister now . she could n't be more excited about that . mariah : so get her a new doll and she 'll forget about it . look , i said that i would stay in town , but i never said that i would stay with you people . nick : look , you are an adult . and this has been a huge change in your life , but i am asking you to please come home . mariah : why ? because suddenly i owe mommy undying love ? i do n't know her . nick : sharon has forgiven you over and over again . i really do n't know what else you need to know about her . mariah : and then she treated me like a crazy slut . so i guess it 's a wash . nick : all right , where did you stay last night , because it does n't seem like you were at the athletic club or your crummy hotel . mariah : i got tipsy and i crashed on some guy 's couch because that 's the type of irresponsible floozy i am . nick : mariah -- mariah : no , no . do n't play daddy with me . i 'm not interested . i 'm an adult . nick : fine , then start acting like one . do you want ian to be able to track you down again ? mariah , you were able to get away from him last time 'cause sharon and i were there to help you . who knows what 's gon na happen next time . and i know it seems like you do n't care about what happens to you , but trust me , sharon sure as hell does . mariah : oh , my god . sharon , sharon , sharon , sharon . she wo n't marry you and you worship her . stop acting like she is the center of the world for you , because she 's not , and she sure as hell is not for me . neil : now that you 've broken me down so you can build me back up , are you proud of yourself ? malcolm : neil , you got a long road in front of you . you just got to face it head on . neil : ca n't i just be miserable for a minute ? malcolm : no . no , neil . your minute 's up . and besides , that 's not my big brother . you do n't wallow , neil . the man i know takes action , just like when devon had meningitis and he lost his hearing . you had learned sign language before he even got out of the hospital . you know why ? because that 's your son . and now you do what you need to do for yourself . braille , computer programming , whatever it takes , but you embrace your weakness and you make it your strength . neil : it sounds so easy on paper . malcolm : so flip the script . but no more self - pity , neil , no more denial , and no more grouchy old bear . you got a whole team of people here who love you . neil , you are a husband and a father . people are depending on you . right now is your time to step it up . neil : you 're right . i might have a long road to travel . i admitted i 'm scared to you . it 's not denial . it 's optimism -- that i got you and i can beat this with you and a whole lot of other people that i 'm walking on this road with , so i thank you . and i love you , man . malcolm : you 're my brother , man . you 're all i got . lily : [ sighs ] you hurt us all last year . and the things that you did were cruel and they were awful . and i thought that 's all you were capable of was hurting our father . sharon : maybe i should step away . you know , we can have this meeting later . lily : no , it 's fine . please stay . i mean , you know better than anyone that families are complicated . and sometimes , you have to bend and shift . sharon : well , that 's true . it 's the only thing that helps a family grow . and it either grows or it dies . lily : exactly . hilary , i thought you were killing this family . and meanwhile , i was just hacking at it with insults and cheap shots , even if it hurt my dad . but you 've been patient and you 've been kind , and it 's obvious that you love him . and as hard as it is for me to say this ... i 'm really glad that neil has you to count on . kevin : coffee is good . it can distract you . you , uh , stir stuff in and it alleviates the need for conversation . nick : did n't you sell this place , kevin ? kevin : i did . but i like to feel needed . are you okay ? mariah : yeah . i 'm fantastic . i 'm fine . nick : you made a friend . mariah : yeah , well , he does n't throw me a pity party or tell me what to do . or ... try to marry me and drug me , so , yeah . nick : might seem like there is n't anyone you can trust right now . mariah : you think ? nick : you have seen sharon with noah and faith . you can let yourself trust her . mariah : she 's just someone i owe money to . nick : fine , then pay her back . come to your job , make some money , earn some tips . be an adult . and do n't you think you should , instead of crashing on random people 's couches , come home to a nice , safe bed that 's free of charge ? did you hear any of that ? kevin : she 'd freak out over a pity party , but , um , that was kind of harsh . nick : it was meant to be . she 's gon na need a friend . looks like that person is you . [ cell phone rings ] billy : hey . is connor okay ? chelsea : yep . that was a lie before . and a bad one . connor 's not even here . [ chuckles ] i ... panicked . and now i 'm confessing . billy : you hung up on me . chelsea : yeah . billy : because i 'm divorced and that freaks you out . chelsea : divorcing victoria does n't mean you stop loving her . i guess that 's why i hung up . billy : and you 're right . i will always love her . and if she 's carrying my baby , then i 'm gon na love that kid like crazy , but ... we 're not married anymore . victoria and i do n't have a future , and that 's a fact . and , um ... [ sighs ] i miss you . [ jazz music plays ] neil : oh , yeah , yeah , yeah . you hear that ? that 's it right there . yeah . [ chuckles ] malcolm : it sure is . neil : hilary ? hilary : yes , it 's me . neil : hi , baby . is that devon i hear ? devon : yeah , dad , how you doing ? lily : and me . neil : oh , hey . hi , lily . lily : we just wanted to check in on your guys . you having a good visit ? malcolm : i think we got some things squared away . besides , listen -- good music must mean a good visit , right ? neil : listen , you guys are n't gon na believe this , but your uncle malcolm -- he knows how to shut up once in a while when , uh -- when he has to . especially if the music 's right . [ chuckling ] devon : good to know . neil : and he got me thinking . i 've been so hell bent on doing everything myself that i pushed everyone in the family away . and i - i 'm sincerely sorry about that , all of you . i 'm sorry . hilary : neil , nobody blames you for that . neil : well , they should . 'cause i ca n't see . someday , i 'm gon na look -- i 'm gon na look you all in the eye and let you know how much you mean to me . kevin : as far as dads go , you could do a lot worse than nick newman . mariah : except he 's not my father . turns out he 's the adoptive father of the girl who i look like . he 's not even married to the woman who i share genetic material with . so he 's just a guy who owns a bar that pays me to pour drinks . kevin : yeah , yeah , yeah . so , are you gon na keep your job ? mariah : well , since sharon so desperately needs her money , i have no choice . kevin : really interesting . i mean , because you 're an adult , blah , blah , blah , nobody can make you do anything you do n't want to -- [ snores ] mariah : [ chuckles ] are you trying to say that you think i want to stay here ? kevin : i 'm saying that you talked me into putting you on the back of my bike and leaving town . there 's nothing stopping you . you could probably still leave if you want to , so i 'm asking . do you want to ? faith : and there 's a guinea pig that 's fluffy and a new boy who just moved here . it 's okay , mommy . we were nice to the new boy . do n't be sad . sharon : you 're such a sweet , good girl . and i love hearing all about your first day at school . i 'm very lucky to get to hear all of it . [ door opens ] sharon : did you find her ? nick : yeah . found her at the coffee house . she 's okay . sharon : is mariah coming home ? nick : you know what ? faith -- faith : she 's my sister . nick : fair enough . um ... i got mariah to agree to continue working at the underground , and i would be very surprised if she did n't end up coming back here tonight to sleep in her bed . sharon : you 're amazing . thank you . well , i think that we should celebrate faith 's first day at school and other very good news just the three of us . nick : yeah , sorry , but that 's not gon na happen . billy : so , how does connor like new york ? chelsea : he loves riding the subway . he likes the big giant pretzels . he squealed like crazy on an indoor ferris wheel . it 's amazing -- you know , him seeing and experiencing all this for the first time through these beautiful eyes . that was -- i 'm so sorry , billy . i - i should n't -- i should n't have said that . billy : yeah . yeah , those eyes . it 's okay , chels . delia is a part of connor now . they 're family , and ... it 's reassuring . chelsea : [ sighs ] um ... oh , you know what ? i just -- i just realized the time . i 've -- i 've kept you on the phone for so long . i should go check on my mom and connor . plus , i have to get to another show , so ... billy : so , when fashion week is over ... then what ? chelsea : oh , you know . it 's always fashion week somewhere . billy : yeah , i know . i 'm talking about , um ... chelsea : i - i know what you 're talking about , billy . i got to go . billy : bye . neil : thanks for the album . you -- you still know me . malcolm : yeah , i do . and i also know you 're not gon na thank me for what really matters , so i 'll just say , `` you 're welcome `` and leave it at that . hilary : thank you so much for coming . you know , neil seems better already -- just a little more free . malcolm : listen . my brother 's tough . sometimes he 's too tough . but he let you in , not just on the surface . he let you all the way in , and that 's a big deal . hey , old man . neil : yeah ? malcolm : i 'm just letting your blind little self know that i 'm over here hugging on your wife . [ chuckling ] neil : that 's okay . you can hug her as much as you want , because you 're about to walk out the door and she 's staying here forever . malcolm : you win . lily : all right . it 's my turn . will you please , please , please stay in touch ? malcolm : you keep sending me pictures of those beautiful little twins , and i 'll send you pictures of my photo shoots , whatever they are , wherever they are . because you know that 's just what i do . when i send you a photo ... lily : i know . you 're sending your heart . malcolm : that 's right .

eric : [ chuckles ] nicole : you know , i was n't sure how holly would do spending the night away from me , but judging by the way she was dancing with ari in our video chat this morning , i think the girls are having a great time at grandma maggie 's . eric : that 's nice to hear . nicole : mm - hmm . eric : well , i had a little sleepover last night . can i tell you about it ? nicole : oh . mm , yeah . [ laughs ] but , um , i 'm so glad we had extra time together , and ... it 's really cute that maggie wanted to take the girls to the museum . eric : you know , she seems happier than she 's ever been , and i 'm right there with her . nicole : oh , eric , this is like a dream come true after having to hide from the world for so long and ... ugh , well i guess at some point we 're gon na have to get to real life . eric : this is real life . this is now and forever . could n't be more perfect . nicole : aw . [ gentle guitar music ] sarah : whoa . [ exhales heavily ] mm . xander : sarah . are you all right ? sarah : go away , please . xander : you 're not gon na throw up on my shoes , are you ? sarah : i ca n't make any promises . xander : you are aware that stress can exacerbate morning sickness ? sarah : you are aware i 'm a doctor ? xander : i 'm just saying , i -- you ca n't go on like this . you 're a complete mess . sarah : [ laughs ] thanks . xander : i did n't mean to insult you , i ... i just hate seeing you struggle like this . and not to pressure you , but ... when last we spoke , you seemed a little conflicted . have you decided what you 're going to do about your pregnancy ? kristen : you need to hear this . brady : i 'm not interested . kristen : no , no , no , no , no . brady : it 's not -- kristen : why do you keep running away from me ? brady : i 'm not -- that 's not what i 'm doing , all right ? kristen : okay , then prove it . prove it to me . stay here and listen to what i have to say . [ cell phone ringing ] jennifer : [ panting ] [ muffled yelling ] [ cell phone continues ringing ] [ cell phone beeps ] no ! no . [ breathing heavily ] [ muffled screaming ] help me ! help me ! male announcer : like sands through the hourglass , so are the `` days of our lives . `` [ soft orchestration ] sarah : shush ! will you stop shouting about how i 'm ... pregnant . xander : you still have n't told anyone ? sarah : no . and you would n't know either if you had n't gone digging through my trash and found my test results . xander : as i said , i was just concerned about you . i still am . sarah : well , do n't be , and if you say a word to anyone -- xander : i already promised that i would n't , but , sarah , as i said before when we discussed this , there 's only so long where you can keep your condition a secret . once you start to show , people are going to know , and by people , i mean eric and nicole . nicole : [ chuckling ] abe : hello . eric : hey . nicole : abe , hi . oh , it 's so good to see you . abe : oh ! [ both laugh ] it 's so wonderful to see you too . aww . look , i -- i 'm so sorry to interrupt , but i ... i just had to say hello . i 'm so happy to hear you 're back and so real . nicole : that makes two of us . abe : real this time . nicole : i am . eric : that 's three of us , actually . abe : [ laughing ] nicole : oh , how are you ? how is -- how is brandon ? i left him a couple of voice messages , but , you know , it 's so hard to connect with the time change , and i just -- i know he 's probably confused about the situation , so i just wan na put his mind at ease . abe : see , that 's -- that 's the nicole i know . caring , compassionate . as opposed to that awful kristen dimera . nicole : i ca n't believe jack gave her that immunity deal . she could have been totally playing him . abe : well , i heard that jack thought that he could regain his memory if kristen led him to dr . rolf . and i just hope that gamble pays off just as handsomely as yours did . jack : jennifer , it 's me . you left me a text earlier saying that you were busy on a story , and i talked to adrienne and she said there was no story . so , um ... i mean , nobody knows where you are , so we 're -- i 'm concerned . so , give me a call and let me know what 's going on . thank you . [ cell phone beeps ] jj : straight to voicemail ? jack : no , no , it actually rang a couple times , so she must have seen it was me and hit ignore . jj : no . no , mom would not ignore a call from you . jack : well , maybe she just -- she could n't answer the phone . maybe she 's so deep undercover on this story , she could n't even tell adrienne about it . jj : that does n't make sense . they 're equal partners in the paper . they keep each other in the loop with everything . jack : then how do you explain the text ? jj : my guess ... mom 's not the one who sent it . [ dramatic music ] jack : so you think someone else sent that text on jennifer 's phone . jj : look , i sure as hell hope not , but think about all the weird stuff that 's gone down lately . someone trashed that lab . rolf is missing . jack : you 're saying you think your mother 's in trouble . jj : look , i do n't -- i do n't want to jump to conclusions , okay ? when i was a cop , i was trained to think through every possible scenario . jack : all right , all right , so maybe -- so your mom and rolf could be together , or he could be holding her against her will . jj : dad , we need to stop speculating . we need to go to the police . jack : right . right , right . i 'll tell you what . we 'll have the police make it a top priority . we -- rolf . rolf : i have returned . brady : go ahead . talk . kristen : well , i was just at the courthouse . brady : they 're not throwing your ass back in jail ? kristen : no . no , no . i 'm still free . i went to testify on behalf of tony . and i 'm happy to report that the charges against him have been dropped . he 's been released . brady : well , that 's great . i 'm happy for tony . i 'm happy for anna . but really has nothing to do with me , kristen , so -- kristen : no , it does . it has everything to do with you because i did it for you . nicole : i wish i could say i 'm not worried about kristen , but knowing she 's out there ... eric : hey , that psycho 's never going to hurt you again . right now , kristen 's laser focus is on one thing . my brother . abe : and getting back dimera . i made the mistake of accepting a job there . chief communications officer . nicole : really ? abe : well , stefan made this big pitch on how he wanted to clean up the company , erase the awful legacy of his father , create a better -- better place . and i thought i would honor lexie by helping him do that . and i could look out for you . nicole : i 'm touched that you did that for me , abe . it just makes me sick that kristen deceived everyone . pretending to be a grieving mother . abe : well , she wanted an in at dimera . and now that kate 's in a coma , she probably sees the ceo position as hers for the taking . and i might be in the market for a new line of work . nicole : [ chuckles ] you and me both . abe : well , what are your plans ? nicole : i do n't know . i have n't made any other than spending as much time as possible with eric and holly . abe : those sound like fine planes to me , and i 'm going to leave you both to it . nicole : hey , please do n't be a stranger . abe : same to you . nicole , welcome home . nicole : thank you . oh , you know what ? we should go pick up holly . i told maggie we 'd meet them at her place . eric : oh . nicole : hey . what is it ? are you worried that we 'll run into sarah ? eric : no , it 's just , you know , us being happy being together , hand in hand , seems a bit cruel . nicole : oh , i understand . if it makes it easier , i can pick her up on my own . eric : no . actually you know what ? i think sarah can handle it . besides , you know what ? i ca n't imagine being away from you one more minute than i already have been . nicole : okay . all right , let 's go . let 's go . eric : come on . sarah : i am well aware that i have to make a decision . it 's all i think about . and ... after a lot of tears and lost sleep and soul searching , i -- i made my decision . xander : you have ? sarah : yeah . i 'm gon na terminate the pregnancy . copd makes it hard to breathe . abe : well ... that 's a lot of food for one person . eve : you 're point ? abe : i just know that you 're living alone now . eve : well , if you 're asking me if this food is for jack , no , it 's not . it 's not like we socialize much now that he has fired me , dumped me , and basically ruined my life . abe : well , that 's really -- it ai n't my business . eve : but the mayor 's race was . and i truly regret ever encouraging jack to run against you , abe , and now i am sorry that you -- that you lost . abe : well , maybe if he did n't have such a ruthless campaign manager . eve : i thought at the time that he was the right man for the job . it just turns out he 's not the man i thought he was . abe : well , jack is not the man he used to be . that 's for sure . eve : hmm . you know , i 'm thinking here . since we were both wronged by the new and not - so - improved jack deveraux , how about if we team up , bring him down ? jack : rolf . where the hell have you been ? rolf : decompressing . after my lab was vandalized and my serum destroyed , i was distraught . i had to go somewhere quiet so i could recover from the stress . jack : you were supposed to lie down in the on - call room and you disappeared . rolf : yes , well , that room was insufficient -- look this is my life 's work we are talking about . to see it so violently decimated , i -- i contemplated going to a meditation retreat . but then i received a phone call from madame , and she told me -- jack : madame , madame , i got it , i got it , madame , right . so just tell me , do you have any idea where jennifer is ? rolf : ms. horton ? no , why ? jj : she might be missing . rolf : missing ? jj : we figured since you were both unaccounted for ... jack : what have you done to jennifer ? jennifer : [ panting ] [ muffled yelling ] xander : are you ... are you sure about this ? sarah : look , i 'm ... i know that you 're just trying to help , right ? but , honestly , this is none of your concern . all i need from you is your word that you will just keep your mouth shut . i do not want eric to know about this child because he 'll just feel obligated , and that 's the last thing that i want . xander : but if he -- sarah : no , xander , please do n't try to talk me out of this or talk me into anything else either , okay ? just ... i am not going to have eric 's baby , and he will never find out that i was pregnant . sarah : eric , i did n't want you -- eric : xander , are you harassing her ? xander : what ? sarah : no , he 's not . xander : why would you think that ? nicole : because you 're you . eric : and sarah 's clearly upset . sarah : this has nothing to do with xander . xander : have you ever considered that this might have something to do with you ? eric : sarah -- sarah : no , i really do n't want to talk right now . xander : you left her high and dry . and you think i 'm the bad guy . rolf : of course i did n't do anything to ms . horton . why would i bite the hand that feeds me ? jj : especially with your appetite . rolf : look , you and jennifer brought me back to salem , attended to my every need , offered to fund my research , provided me with a state - of - the - art laboratory , which , granted , it 's in a bit of a shambles , but i know that 's not your fault . jack : so , despite this setback , you 're willing to continue ? rolf : oh , absolutely . i am eager to get back to work on the serum , which will , i have no doubt , restore your memory . jj : that 's great , rolf . thank you . rolf : well , i best get back to the lab and see if i can salvage anything . jack : do you think he 's lying about your mom ? jj : he 's a weird dude . but my gut says he 's telling the truth . what reason would he have to hurt mom ? jack : well , we both know there 's one person who 's made it very clear that she wants to ruin your mother 's life . eve . jj : i 'm not gon na let that happen . and i 'm gon na go to the police , see what i can find out as well . jack : right . while you do that , i 'm gon na go to the source . i 'm gon na get the truth out of eve , one way or the other . whatever it takes . eve : come on , abe . it 'll be a blast . we 'll boot jack out of office , and then we will take over this town . abe : you know , i think the people that voted for jack might take issue with that . eve : i don't . i think maybe they might be happy that we 're righting a wrong . you know , i got a man with no memory elected on a landslide and there 's no telling what i can do for you . we can do together . we can rule this town , abe . come on . abe : i did n't run for public office to rule anything . i wanted to serve the people . eve : and no one does that better than you , abe . abe : if you believe that , why did you work so hard to push me out . eve : [ sighs ] well that was one of my many mistakes . abe : no , eve . you knew exactly what you were doing . because you wanted power , fame , fortune . all the wrong reasons to get into politics . eve : but , abe , hey , this time it would be different because i would be working on the side of good , bringing corrupt , crooked jack deveraux to his knees . abe : i read that you lost your lawsuit against jack . and i also read that dr . rolf is hard at work on a new batch of serum to help jack regain his memory . and on top of everything else , you 're really angry , are n't you ? eve : you 're damn right i am . abe : you 're lonely too . i understand loneliness . i understand anger too . and i know that giving into it , seeking revenge , spreading fear and hate is not gon na bring me or you or anyone else a sense of peace . eve : so what do you suggest i do with all the rage inside me , abe ? abe : let it go . kristen : i 'm trying to be a better person . someone worthy of your love , brady . brady : mm . in other words , you would n't have had the basic decency to try to help your brother out of a murder rap unless you were trying to prove something to me ? kristen : that 's not what i said . brady : kristen , that 's exactly what you said . you -- you 're desperate . you 're trying to throw anything you can against the wall and you 're hoping it 'll stick . just last night you were trying to convince me that we should be together because we both have , what , dark sides ? kristen : yes ! yes , we do have a dark side . we do , and i wanted you to -- encourage you to embrace that because i was n't listening to you , but i am now . i hear you , brady . i understand that you want to live in the light , and i want so much to live there with you . and i know i ca n't change overnight . but i am trying . just like you are . you 're the bad boy doing his damnedest to be better , and i 'm just a bad girl trying to do the same . brady : it 's gon na take a hell of a lot more than one good deed , kristen . kristen : i 've done more . i have . not only did i set tony free , but i also did the same with jennifer . brady : what in the hell are you talking about ? kristen : [ laughs ] jennifer : [ muffled grunts ] [ heavy breathing ] jack : you 're getting all worked up here . jennifer : jack , would you stop it , all right ? just admit it . after all this time , they finally caught up with us . the brick through the window , the man who attacked me , they were all warnings , but i did n't listen . i mean , and now , jack , who knows what 's gon na happen . we 're probably both gon na di -- jack : no , nothing 's gon na happen because we 're gon na find the alternative . jennifer : [ breathing heavily ] [ muffled cries ] eve : [ sighs ] [ mysterious music ] [ knocking at door ] jack : eve ? open up . i know you 're in there . eve : okay , jack . what do you want now ? jack : what the hell did you do with jennifer ? jennifer : [ muffled screams ] [ panting ] it could be our last night together . and if it is , if we really do never get out of this room , do you know what would be the saddest thing of all about it ? jack : you mean other than just death in general ? jennifer : we 'll have missed our chance forever . and i 'm not gon na let that happen . i ca n't let that happen , jack . [ muffled grunting ] [ yells ] [ breathing heavily ] [ intense music building ] rolf : dr. johnson , do you have a moment ? kayla : no , actually i don't . i have several critical patients that i need to deal with . can we talk about this later , please ? rolf : i will be quick . i 'm sure you 're aware that the beautiful laboratory you 've provided me has been vandalized and my work destroyed . kayla : i heard . hospital security is on it . rolf : well , while i 'm hopeful that the culprit is brought to justice , my main concern is that i 'm able to continue with my research . aside from the serum , to restore jack 's memory , i have several other projects i 'm in the middle of , and , um , i need some supplies . kayla : there is something that you need to understand . i 'm not happy that you 're here , rolf . i 'm not happy that you were working on your own projects in my hospital . i authorized this so that you could work on the serum . rolf : so ... the supplies ? kayla : make me a list . i 'll get you what you need . brady : did you do something to jennifer ? kristen : no ! brady : did you ? kristen : no ! no , i just meant that she was living in a kind of prison since jack came back without his memory . when i found out that dr . rolf went awol , i contacted him immediately and i told him to get right back to the hospital . brady : out of the kindness of your heart . kristen : yes . and jennifer 's an old friend . brady : an old friend , yeah . you do n't have any friends in this town , kristen . all you 're telling me is that you 're still running around giving orders , making demands , pulling strings . that 's a mob boss . kristen : [ sighs ] well , if that 's the case , then i do n't have a single soul left on my payroll . brady : what about your partner in crime , xander ? kristen : bless your little heart . you 're jealous of him , are n't you ? brady : you are insane . kristen : am i ? eric : why was sarah upset ? xander : as if you care . eric : i do care ! now answer me . xander : sarah was quite clear that she did n't wan na discuss it with you , but is n't it obvious why she 's upset ? nicole : okay , all right , enough with the phony outrage . if you did n't help kristen with her crazy plan to take over my life , eric and i never would have separated . you know what , you admit it that you were thrilled that eric and i got back together because that meant you had a chance with sarah . eric : if you lay one finger on her -- xander : been there , done that , mate . eric : i 'm warning you , i will -- xander : will what , eric ? on sah . now she 's ripe for the picking . eric : you son of a bitch ! brady : i could not care less about xander . kristen : but you do care about jennifer . brady : yeah . yeah , i 'm glad rolf is making the serum . i 'm even glad tony 's free . that 's great , but that has nothing to do with us -- if you think these things are gon na change anything between us -- kristen : it has everything to do with us because what i did , i did it for love . once jack gets back his memory , he and jennifer will be reunited , and i already reunited eric and nicole and tony and anna . the only two people left are you and me . brady : kristen . there is no you and me . all right ? kristen : you finally admitted that you want me . and i understand that being together has been a problem for you , but not anymore , brady . not anymore . brady : you need to stop -- kristen : no , i need you to listen to me . brady : stop with your -- kristen : please . i have been redeemed in the eyes of so many people in this town . you do n't have to be ashamed of me anymore . you know , no more guilt . no more regrets or resisting . we can be out there , free to live our truth as soul mates , and i know that you want that , brady . we can have that . we can show the world our love . abe : brady . kristen : oh . [ laughs ] what are you doing ? should n't you be doing damage control at dimera ? i 'm sure the company must be in crisis with the ceo fighting for her life . if you need me to step up , i 'll be right there . abe : stefan and gabi have things under control . kristen : yeah , i doubt that . but you and me , we made a pretty good team , did n't we ? abe : i thought you were nicole . i would never work with you . now get out of here . i need brady alone . kristen : i 'm not going anywhere . brady : if you wo n't , i will . kristen : thanks a lot . abe : it 's the least i could do . nicole : eric , stop ! stop , please ! just forget it . he 's not -- he 's not worth it . xander : my wife is talking to you . nicole : excuse me ? you agreed to divorce me . i have new papers being drawn up as we speak , and then you will be officially and permanently out of my life . xander : it 's been real , love , but , as i said earlier , i 'm over you . eric can have my sloppy seconds . nicole : okay , okay , wait . please , please , stop . do n't , eric . let 's go get holly . come on . [ tense music ] jj : you have n't had a minute to rest , have you ? kayla : no , i haven't . and i do n't plan to . i just saw julie . jj : how is she ? kayla : well , you know , she 's putting on a brave face , but i know that she 's scared . jj : i know the feeling . kayla : what are you scared about ? jj : kayla , my mom might be missing . kayla : what ? what do you mean ? jj : when dr . rolf saw what happened to his lab , he had a melt down and took off , and dad and i were supposed to meet mom this morning at the brady pub to coordinate a search for him . at the last minute , she text dad saying that she 's off covering a story , but aunt adrienne says that 's not true . kayla : well , did adrienne say where she thought your mom might really be ? jj : no one does . and i talked to lani . she said it 's too early to file a missing person 's report . kayla : well , when was the last time you saw your mom ? jj : last night . i was helping her clean up the lab , but since then , silence . i ca n't reach her . kayla : well , what about that text that she sent ? jj : i do n't think it came from mom . i think it was eve . so does dad . kayla : you think that she 's involved in this -- in your mom 's disappearance ? jj : we 're not sure , but if she 's the one who trashed the lab ... kayla : you think that she did that too ? jj : well , it makes sense that she would try to destroy the serum because she did it once before . look , dad went to go question her . i doubt she 'll cop to anything . she did n't when she confronted to her about the lab . kayla : so she denied that she 's involved ? jj : yeah , but that does n't mean anything because we ca n't believe a damn word out of her mouth . kayla : you know , this might be the first time in her life that she actually is telling the truth . jack : jennifer 's missing . you made it clear you 're gon na ruin her life , so you 're the number one suspect . eve : [ sighs ] well , if that 's the case , jack , why are you banging on my door and not the cops ? jack : because i -- you got two bags of food . eve : wait , hey , hey , hey ! hey ! you think one of these is for jennifer , huh ? jack : is it ? jennifer : [ screams ] help ! somebody ! help ! abe : hey , buddy . brady : hey . abe : i 'm gon na get some -- some water . you care for some ? brady : no , i 'm kind of resisting the urge to get something a little stronger than that , abe . abe : hey , um ... can i call somebody ? brady : no . no , i 'm good , i 'm good . but thank you for coming by when you did . i , um ... i really hate the draw that that woman has over me . it 's -- it 's hard for me to deal with . she 's very -- she 's very tempting for me . abe : well , you know , she really did a number on you . it 'll take some time , that 's all . brady : i hope to hell you 're right . xander : kristen . kristen : that 's right . i 'm free . despite you throwing me under the bus to get yourself out of jail . i 'm still gon na make you pay for that . xander : what are you doing here ? kristen : i 'm looking for brady . xander : oh . well , he 's out . i 'll be sure to tell him you stopped by . kristen : no , you won't . xander : look , i 'm getting tired of this , the power games , the threats . i say we call a truce . kristen : why ? xander : because i 'm trying to turn over a new leaf and prove to sarah that i can be a better person . kristen : yeah , well i 'm trying to do the same thing with brady . i mean , i 'm doing all these wonderful things , but he does n't give me credit . xander : yeah , you 're a veritable saint . kristen : who -- who did i really hurt by doing this , hm ? nobody . holly and nicole and jack . they 're all alive and happy because of me . xander : you wan na know who got hurt ? sarah horton . while eric and nicole are riding off into the sunset , she 's left with nothing but a broken heart . kristen : mm . that puts you in a really good place , does n't it ? see , once again , thanks to me , you 're getting everything you want . xander : i wish people would stop saying that . it 's not that simple . kristen : why not ? xander : 'cause sarah 's pregnant with a baby she does n't even want -- kristen : i beg your pardon ? [ cell phone beeps ] [ cell phone trilling ] sarah : hi , um ... yeah , i would like to make an appointment . to have an abortion . eric : is she asleep ? nicole : she 's resting . she wants to play peek - a - boo with you again , and i told her you would play with her after she takes a nap . eric : well , get over here . nicole : oh ! eric : peek - a - boo marathon ! nicole : oh , my gosh !

when i was a cop , i was trained to think through every possible scenario . jack : all right , all right , so maybe -- so your mom and rolf could be together , or he could be holding her against her will . jj : dad , we need to stop speculating . we need to go to the police . jack : right . right , right . i 'll tell you what . we 'll have the police make it a top priority . we -- rolf . rolf : i have returned . brady : go ahead . talk . kristen : well , i was just at the courthouse . brady : they 're not throwing your ass back in jail ?

abe : well , stefan made this big pitch on how he wanted to clean up the company , erase the awful legacy of his father , create a better -- better place . and i thought i would honor lexie by helping him do that . and i could look out for you . nicole : i 'm touched that you did that for me , abe . it just makes me sick that kristen deceived everyone . pretending to be a grieving mother . abe : well , she wanted an in at dimera . and now that kate 's in a coma , she probably sees the ceo position as hers for the taking . and i might be in the market for a new line of work . nicole : [ chuckles ] you and me both . abe : well , what are your plans ?

jack : rolf . where the hell have you been ? rolf : decompressing . after my lab was vandalized and my serum destroyed , i was distraught . i had to go somewhere quiet so i could recover from the stress . jack : you were supposed to lie down in the on - call room and you disappeared . rolf : yes , well , that room was insufficient -- look this is my life 's work we are talking about . to see it so violently decimated , i -- i contemplated going to a meditation retreat . but then i received a phone call from madame , and she told me -- jack : madame , madame , i got it , i got it , madame , right . so just tell me , do you have any idea where jennifer is ?

sarah : look , i 'm ... i know that you 're just trying to help , right ? but , honestly , this is none of your concern . all i need from you is your word that you will just keep your mouth shut . i do not want eric to know about this child because he 'll just feel obligated , and that 's the last thing that i want . xander : but if he -- sarah : no , xander , please do n't try to talk me out of this or talk me into anything else either , okay ? just ... i am not going to have eric 's baby , and he will never find out that i was pregnant . sarah : eric , i did n't want you -- eric : xander , are you harassing her ? xander : what ? sarah : no , he 's not . xander : why would you think that ? nicole : because you 're you . eric : and sarah 's clearly upset . sarah : this has nothing to do with xander . xander : have you ever considered that this might have something to do with you ? eric : sarah -- sarah : no , i really do n't want to talk right now . xander : you left her high and dry . and you think i 'm the bad guy . rolf : of course i did n't do anything to ms . horton . why would i bite the hand that feeds me ? jj : especially with your appetite . rolf : look , you and jennifer brought me back to salem , attended to my every need , offered to fund my research , provided me with a state - of - the - art laboratory , which , granted , it 's in a bit of a shambles , but i know that 's not your fault . jack : so , despite this setback , you 're willing to continue ? rolf : oh , absolutely . i am eager to get back to work on the serum , which will , i have no doubt , restore your memory . jj : that 's great , rolf . thank you . rolf : well , i best get back to the lab and see if i can salvage anything . jack : do you think he 's lying about your mom ? jj : he 's a weird dude . but my gut says he 's telling the truth . what reason would he have to hurt mom ? jack : well , we both know there 's one person who 's made it very clear that she wants to ruin your mother 's life . eve . jj : i 'm not gon na let that happen . and i 'm gon na go to the police , see what i can find out as well . jack : right . while you do that , i 'm gon na go to the source . i 'm gon na get the truth out of eve , one way or the other . whatever it takes . eve : come on , abe . it 'll be a blast . we 'll boot jack out of office , and then we will take over this town . abe : you know , i think the people that voted for jack might take issue with that . eve : i don't . i think maybe they might be happy that we 're righting a wrong . you know , i got a man with no memory elected on a landslide and there 's no telling what i can do for you . we can do together . we can rule this town , abe . come on . abe : i did n't run for public office to rule anything . i wanted to serve the people . eve : and no one does that better than you , abe . abe : if you believe that , why did you work so hard to push me out . eve : [ sighs ] well that was one of my many mistakes . abe : no , eve . you knew exactly what you were doing . because you wanted power , fame , fortune . all the wrong reasons to get into politics . eve : but , abe , hey , this time it would be different because i would be working on the side of good , bringing corrupt , crooked jack deveraux to his knees . abe : i read that you lost your lawsuit against jack . and i also read that dr . rolf is hard at work on a new batch of serum to help jack regain his memory . and on top of everything else , you 're really angry , are n't you ?

dylan : i 'm sorry you have to go through this , paul . paul : yeah , thanks . i mean , i do n't even know really why i 'm here . i just think that , uh , maybe her seeing me will help somehow . dylan : yeah , you 're doing everything you can for your sister . and she knows that even if she ca n't express it . paul : okay , i , uh , i 'll give you a call on my way home . dylan : okay . sounds good . sharon : is everything okay ? dylan : uh , no . there was a problem with patty 's transfer . mariah : what was the trouble ? dylan : well , apparently , you know , everything was fine . she was acting fine both before she got picked up and on her way to rivercrest . she was calm , she was cooperative . but when she got through the doors at the new facility , she completely lost it . nobody has any idea why . paul : hey , pattycake . patty : [ gasps ] paulie ! something went very , very wrong . paul : what 's the matter ? patty : it went very wrong . it was n't supposed to happen like this . paul : i do n't understand . how was it supposed to happen ? neil : hey , you know , nikki , i ca n't thank you enough for helping us out . nikki : oh , planning charity luncheons is right up my alley . and it 's for such a good cause . i 'm really proud of you with your foundation . neil : i am , too . it 's been rough , you know , keeping the ball rolling without my partner . nikki : jack will be back . neil : you think so ? nikki : yeah . in the meantime , i can pitch in . whatever you need . neil : has anyone ever told you how wonderful you are ? nikki : oh , my . well , one can never hear that enough , can one ? [ laughs ] neil : you 're wonderful . [ laughs ] hilary : nikki . neil . nikki : oh . hello , hilary . hilary : i just wanted to make sure there was no hard feelings about the story that we just aired . nikki : um , about my husband ? hilary : that 's the one . nikki : well , to be honest , i -- are you recording this ? hilary : yes , i am . neil : what are you doing , hilary ? you do n't need to do this . hilary : well , i did n't think that there would be a problem . i mean , come on . nikki newman afraid of the spotlight ? nikki : [ sighs ] hilary : i figured that you 'd want your opinion on camera . so , how do you feel about your husband 's unethical -- i 'm sorry . i mean , alleged unethical business practices ? devon : how bad is it ? leslie : i mean , i 'd like to sugarcoat , but it 's not really possible . so ... you broadcast a disparaging story without checking the source first . it 's like journalism 101 . they probably teach you that the first day of class . devon : okay . um , just tell me what this means for -- for everything that i have , from my inheritance from katherine . leslie : it 's all vulnerable , devon . victor is suing you for every penny he can get . victor : the source of the leak is not my family . natalie : but travis said we need to think -- victor : i do n't care what travis said . he is looking in the wrong places . natalie : i 'm just wondering if maybe you 're a little too close . sometimes it 's hard to be objective when it comes to the people we care about . victor : my dear girl , the leak does not come from a member of my family . they tried some rather destructive tactics against me before , and it ended disastrously for them . so no one in my family would do this . natalie : so you trust them completely ? victor : as i do you . natalie : really ? victor : yeah . you brought this information to me . that means you 're loyal . and i reward loyalty . natalie : i feel like i just entered the inner sanctum . victor : [ laughs ] natalie : i 'll get back to work , then . no more leaks for newman enterprises , not on my watch . victor : okay . natalie ? i have a better idea . additional sponsorship nikki : my husband has been accused of many things through the years . that 's what happens when you 're successful . hilary : true , but not all those accusations were unfounded . i mean , the man did spend the last few months in prison , right ? nikki : oh , is that -- i did not know that . hilary : it would be such a shame if he had to go back again and so soon . neil : okay , hey , hey , that 's enough . there 's no way that devon signed off on this , accosting guests at his own club . last time i checked , the press has been banned from here . i think that means you , too . now go on . get out of here . hilary : okay , relax , neil . i 'm just trying to get to the truth . neil : i am relaxed . she gave you her statement . now beat it . hilary : in case you want a real sitdown . have a nice day . neil : you , too . nikki : [ sighs ] neil : wow . are you all right ? huh ? nikki : listen , if i let it get to me every time i was in gc buzz , or any member of my family , for that matter , i just would n't even be standing anymore . i 'm afraid it 's just one of those unfortunate facts of life . neil : not if i have anything to say about it . leslie : the easiest way to make this disappear would be to track down the source to verify the authenticity of the documents , negating victor 's entire suit . devon : yeah , well , i 'd love to , uh , to do that , but we have no idea where they came from . it just ended up on a desk here with no name , address , or stamp . leslie : you 're gon na have to somehow make peace with victor . devon : yeah , have you met victor newman ? leslie : go to him , devon , okay , hat in hand , offer him up some kind of deal . devon : what kind of deal ? leslie : i do n't know . but i 'm sure there 's something victor wants . there must be . find it . figure out a way to use it . victor : see what i 'm getting at ? natalie : not really . now you want there to be a leak ? i thought my whole purpose was to seal this place shut . victor : i want you to continue sealing this place shut , okay ? i want you to protect our servers . but ... i want you to leave some sensitive files vulnerable . just not obviously vulnerable . but vulnerable enough for someone to download them or perhaps transfer them or print them out . natalie : so they 're traceable . victor : you got it . natalie : that way we snag enough evidence to find this traitor and deliver him to the police . victor : no , no , no , no , no . we wo n't deliver them to the police . whoever the mole is will be delivered to me . i 'll deal with him . dylan : [ sighs ] sharon : are you thinking about going to see paul and patty ? dylan : i mean , yeah . i 'm thinking about it . i just do n't know if there 's anything i can do . mariah : what did paul say about her ? was she saying anything outrageous ? dylan : i do n't think he actually saw her yet . he was right about to go in . you know , i 'm just hoping that he can get through to her , give her some peace of mind . [ cell phone rings ] dylan : that 's the station . i got to take this . mcavoy . yeah . sharon : this can not be happening . mariah : patty was already a loose cannon . now that she thinks that we 're playing her ? sharon : what 's to stop her from telling paul everything now ? mariah : if she has n't already , sharon . sharon : god , what do we do ? what do we do ? mariah : we ca n't go there and stop her . sharon : i know . but maybe we can get paul to come home , some kind of an emergency , a reason why he has to leave patty right away . mariah : and when he gets here and sees that everything is fine ? sharon : just fake something . we 'll take sully to the e.r . mariah : you ca n't use sully . sharon : no , you 're right . dylan knows that sully 's fine . we 'll just come up with something . mariah : we have already got caught in so many lies , sharon . inventing one this huge , it 's gon na be the last straw . i know it . sharon : if we would just get on the same page , i know -- mariah : no , no more pages . no more . i 'm out . i ca n't . i ca n't do it anymore . i - i ca n't keep coming up with cover stories and spin stories . my god , i ca n't even keep track of the ones that i 've already told . and dylan ? looking at him in the eyes is excruciating . he 's gon na know . he 's gon na see . he 's gon na figure out that something is very , very wrong . sharon : this is not easy . believe me . i know . but what is the alternative ? mariah : i do n't know . i do n't know . i just ca n't be here . sharon : wait . mariah . mariah : i 'm sorry , sharon . i 'm sorry . i really am . [ door closes ] patty : but why ca n't i go back to fairview ? paul : patty , i think you know the answer to that . you need a more secure facility after what happened to dr. anderson . patty : she is a very bad person , paulie . she should be locked up , not me ! paul : calm down . it 's not about dr. anderson anymore . when i first explained this to you , you were excited . you were looking forward to something new . is that not right ? patty : right , right ! no ! but that was before ! paul : before what ? patty : no ! before i knew that this was gon na be for good ! i 'm never gon na get out of here , paulie ! never ! paul : you do n't know that it 's for good . the transfer was not about getting out . it was about getting better . i do n't -- i do n't ... wait a minute . patty : what ? paul : were you planning on escaping ? is that what was going through your head ? talk to me . patty : you want to know what 's going through my head ? you wonder what i 'm thinking about , paulie ? ! paul : i just asked what 's going through your head . patty : i 'm thinking about exposing the dirty secrets once and for all . paul : okay , patty , uh ... let 's talk about the paintings . that 's where your secrets are , right ? patty : i told you , they 're in my head . paul : i know they 're in your head , but you expressed yourself through ... okay , you do n't want to talk about the paintings ? let 's not talk about the paintings . just tell me what the secrets are . if you tell me the truth , it 'll help me help you . that 's all i want . patty : why am i here ? paul : you 're here to get better . patty : you 're lying , paulie . paul : i am not lying . patty : places like this , they do n't make me better . they dim me . i 'm never going to get help . i 'm never going to be free . they -- they want me never to exist ! paul : patty , do you trust me ? patty : [ breathing heavily ] paul : do you ? there is no ulterior motive here . i love you . patty : i know , paulie , but i 'm not talking about you , paul ! i 'm talking about them ! they want me to rot away in here ! i just need you to protect me ! paul : patty , patty . patty : no , paulie . please let me go ! paul : come on , sweetheart . patty : i just need help . paul : just stay with me . patty : [ gasping ] paul : there you go . you make it harder on yourself , sweetheart . attagirl . you okay ? patty : sharon . paul : shar -- patty : bring her here . i have to talk to her . please , paulie . [ computer keys clacking ] natalie : if you do n't say hello to me , i might have to hack your e - mail . mariah : hey , swizzlestick . natalie : hi . mariah : when did you get back ? natalie : who says i ever left ? mariah : okay , then . natalie : if you 're dying to tell me `` i told you so `` about kevin , then this is your chance . mariah : no , i 'm good . natalie : really ? mariah : my intentions were legit . okay , they were legit - ish . i was honestly trying to warn you that there 's no competing with the kevin and chloe show . natalie : i 've given up on competing . he 's a non - entity , and i 'm too busy moving on with my life . mariah : in genoa city ? natalie : why not ? mariah : i just thought you 'd be jetting off to europe , taking in another safari , hoverboarding across the country . natalie : actually , there is something keeping me here . a new job . mariah : cool office . natalie : coffee break . mariah : so what 's your new gig ? natalie : i 'm working for newman enterprises . devon : hi . hilary : hey . devon : so you ambushed nikki newman at the club ? hilary : wow . neil moves fast . devon : so you did do that ? hilary : it was hardly an ambush , devon . it was an opportunity for nikki to defend her husband , which she technically did n't do , by the way . leslie : okay , i 'm going to have to suggest that you avoid any more future opportunities , at least until the lawsuit is over . devon : or forever . leslie : yeah , harassing the plaintiff 's wife like that could very well destroy our defense . dylan : so you know detective ratchford ? sharon : uh , shelly . yeah . dylan : right . yeah . well , her husband is a baker , and he is gon na pull out all the stops for sully 's birthday cake . he 's gon na make it in the shape of a race car kind of like the one he plays with here . and , oh , he 's adding a smash cake . sharon : smash cake ? dylan : yeah , you know , apparently 1-year - olds now get their own mini cake to destroy for , uh , a photo op . sharon : oh , okay . smash cake . good . dylan : i ca n't believe he 's gon na be 1 , sharon . a whole year . i mean , where -- where does the time go ? sharon : yeah , it just flew by . dylan : flew by . our boy 's walking . i mean , really , it seems like yesterday i held him for the first time . my life changed forever in that moment . everything i 've ever wanted is under this roof , and that 's because of you . [ knock on door ] dylan : [ sighs ] hey . paul : hey . sorry i did n't call . dylan : is everything okay with patty ? paul : no . she 's not all right . and she 's insisting on seeing you . hilary : my interview with nikki was good journalism . devon : i know you do n't believe that , hon . hilary : yes , i do , devon ! she could have let something slip , something that could have thrown out this whole lawsuit . devon : and did she ? hilary : no . devon : no . no , she did n't , because nikki newman is a smart woman who would n't say anything to incriminate her husband . hilary : you do n't know that . devon : i do know that , okay ? and please , you need to stop making these big decisions behind my back , because now this is about more than just protecting this business . it 's about protecting everything we have , all of our money , my inheritance , katherine 's legacy . hilary : where are you going ? devon : i 'm gon na end this . hilary : [ sighs ] sharon : no way am i going to rivercrest . i ca n't . dylan : did patty say why she wanted to see sharon ? paul : no . no , she did n't . but she was adamant . at first there was the usual delusion . i mean , she went on about the transfer , her lack of freedom , and this whole conspiracy against her . but when she asked to see you , it was the first time she actually seemed coherent . sharon : well , that 's great , paul , but that 's not enough to convince me to go . i just do n't see what good it would do anyone , especially patty . dylan : look , i 'm not gon na push you to do something that you 're uncomfortable with . but we really need to put this behind us . paul , i 'll go see patty , settle this myself . mariah : so , you 're working for victor ? natalie : yep . mariah : newman ? natalie : yep . mariah : the same guy who almost had you strangled for selling out to the competition . natalie : that 's the one . and it 's all water under the bridge . mariah : [ chuckling ] right . if that bridge was on fire and endangering the lives of everybody around it . so , what exactly does victor have you working on ? some cutting - edge , new security program that lasers any non - newmans on sight ? natalie : i 'm victor 's new assistant . mariah : as in getting coffee , sorting mail , answering phones type of assistant ? i do n't mean to be rude , but is n't -- natalie : do you have another setting ? mariah : is n't that sort of a downgrade ? natalie : i have bills to pay . mariah : so pay them with the pass key fortune . oh , i 'm sorry . did you forget the financial landslide that you cut me out of it ? natalie : it 's gone . mariah : how is that even remotely possible ? natalie : i put all the money in a silicon valley startup . needless to say , it crashed and burned . it was a stupid app . mariah : so now it 's back to the working world . natalie : more specifically back to the office . see you around . mariah : see you . nikki : well , we could always do one of those walkathons to raise awareness for addiction . those are always very successful . neil : yeah . how do you do that ? nikki : um , do what ? neil : you know , just black out everything that happened with hilary . nikki : [ scoffs ] that was nothing . neil : was it ? nikki : are you insinuating that i ca n't take a little muck - raking ? neil : well , you see here , i 'm just more concerned about the actual muck . nikki : ah , ah . do n't do that . neil : what ? nikki : do n't lecture me on victor . neil : no , no , no , no . no lecture . i 'm just , uh , i want you to be careful , you know ? his actions and subsequent fallout has always been a trigger for you . nikki : i know that you 're saying that out of love for me , but believe me , i am in no danger of falling off the wagon . neil : [ laughs ] yeah . you do n't believe that any more than i do . devon : thanks . victor : hello , devon . devon : hello , mr. newman . i , uh , i was just wondering if you had time to get lunch . victor : wow . just the two of us ? devon : just the two of us . i thought that you and i can discuss our disagreement civilly . victor : yeah . does that mean you 're willing to give up the source of this slanderous information ? devon : i literally ca n't do that because we do n't know who dropped those documents off . victor : oh , i 'll be damned . then why did you come to see me ? devon : well , i came to see you because even though i do n't have the name of the source , i do have a proposition for you . victor : ah . nikki : thank you . you 're very sweet , but you did n't have to buy me tea . neil : oh , yes , i did . it 's penance for trying to give you a lecture after i said i would n't . nikki : i know it 's coming from a good place . neil : it 's coming from a personal place . more personal than you know . nikki : what do you mean ? what 's going on ? neil : i saw my mother . nikki : my god . when ? neil : a couple of months ago . she was barely hanging on , nikki . nikki : oh . i am so sorry . neil : i got there in time , you know . i made peace with her before she died . nikki : well , that 's good . that 's very important . i just had no idea . again , i 'm so sorry . neil : i 'm not . and i did n't tell you this to get your sympathy . this experience has totally changed me , nikki . it steered me in a different direction . i want to make the most out of my time while i 'm here , spend it with family and friends . i want to leave my imprint before i go . nikki : as we all do . neil : let me ask you something . is this what you want your imprint to be ? the woman who defended victor newman at all costs ? nikki : neil , that is not fair . neil : oh , really ? why not ? nikki : because it 's just not that cut and dried . neil : well , see , it is , and that 's what i 'm saying . if you look at it , life has a way of -- paul : hey , you two . nikki : hi , paul . neil : hey , paul . paul : am i interrupting or can i join you ? neil : pull up a chair . go ahead . paul : all right . so , how are you guys ? what are we talking about ? neil : well , we 're talking about victor . care to weigh in ? victor : well , i 'm intrigued , devon . i mean , what could you possibly have that would make up for the damage done by that preposterous gc buzz show of yours that has done so much damage to me and my company ? devon : well , it would only be damaging if the information is not true . victor : now you 're pointing more fingers . you 're making my case much easier now . devon : i want you to know that i 'm very aware of all the legal ramifications , and i have discussed this with my attorney thoroughly , and her advice to me was that i need to uncover who the source is . victor : well , you keep that attorney . that 's good advice . devon : it really is . it 's obvious , you know ? so what i 'm gon na do is i 'm gon na take it a step further . i 've hired of team of private investigators to probe into every facet of your life , personal and professional , so that we can find anything , anyone , something to validate our story , or debunk it . victor : ah . so you hired a group of snoops to investigate me . devon : because i figure what better way to get to the truth . now , with all of that digging , who 's to say what they might unearth ? accidentally , of course . that is , unless you drop the lawsuit . victor : mm - hmm . devon : because then i would have no need to investigate you . victor : devon , you 're threatening me . that 's never a good idea . nikki : my husband has been accused of many things through the years . that 's what happens when you 're successful . hilary : [ sighs ] mariah : i have a tip . hilary : good for you . mariah : it 's about newman . hilary : i 'm listening . mariah : it 's big , but it 's gon na come at a price . hilary : okay , how much ? mariah : i would like a job here . hilary : okay , i was thinking more along the lines of a couple hundred bucks . mariah : not that i could n't use it , but i 'm more interested in the long run . hilary : do you even have any experience in television ? mariah : about as much as you did when you took over as host . hilary : i had some professional experience . mariah : and all that experience landed you in the middle of a lawsuit , by the way . hilary : we 're handling that . mariah : i know , and i can help . i have dirt on the guy who 's suing you for everything you 're worth . call me crazy , but i think a job is a small price to pay . dylan : hey . i can do this alone . you do n't have to go in . sharon : if you can handle doing this , um , so can i . dylan : okay . ready ? sharon : yeah . patty : you . [ breathing heavily ] you stabbed me in the back , you liar ! dylan : hey , hey , hey . just take it easy . take it easy . patty : i got new accessories . [ laughs ] what do you think ? very fashionable , huh ? dylan : we just came to talk to you . patty : talk away . dylan : uh , i do n't know what you were saying . sharon did n't stab you in the back . she did n't really do anything to you . patty : well , maybe not to me . but she 's done something to you . sharon : we 're on the same side . when we were at fairview , remember ? why invent reasons for us to be enemies now ? patty : inventing ? ohh ! like i 'm a magician or a scientist . now you see something . [ laughs ] you can even hold it . and then poof ! it 's gone . but you are right about those days at fairview . they were very special . and dr. anderson taking such sweet , good care of us . oh , and that healthy , strapping baby boy of yours . oh , a gift from the stork . sharon : that 's right . sully -- sully was a gift . a gift that his father and i cherish very much . patty : of course . what parent would n't cherish their little flesh and blood , hmm ? dylan : okay , what 's going on here ? it seems like you 're dancing around something . patty : [ laughs ] i love to dance , but i ca n't with these ! there 's no more dancing ! yeah , i just sit here and i think about my life . i think about your life . all our lives . i 'm just mulling around , mulling around the choices that led us to this place . dylan : i 'm gon na check in with your doctor . you gon na be okay ? sharon : mm - hmm . dylan : okay . be right back . sharon : patty . i am so sorry . this was not part of the plan at all . the -- the transfer , it happened . it came out of nowhere . there was n't enough time to plan an escape . [ sighs ] just please be patient . i promise you i will find a way to get you your freedom . sharon : patty , please . please do n't crush dylan 's soul . sully is our child in every way that matters . we would be devastated . time for a vitals check . it 's good to see you so calm . dylan : was it something sharon said ? patty : yeah . she reminded me how much more i would gain by following the rules instead of fighting them . right , sharon ? sharon : that 's right . dylan : so was this all you needed from sharon ? patty : yep . thank you for bringing her to visit me . sharon : we should go . dylan : all right . take care , patty . patty : oh , i will . perfectly steady and even . very good . patty : you should check the pulse of the woman that left here . i bet it 's racing . mariah : you wo n't regret it . hilary : fine . you 're hired . but only in a gofer position . mariah : i will take it . hilary : okay , so , what 's this life - changing scoop that you have ? mariah : natalie soderberg is victor newman 's new assistant . hilary : who ? mariah : natalie . from the whole pass key debacle . you had to have read about her . hilary : okay , she 's -- the computer whiz ? mariah : yes , exactly . now , why would victor newman need to hire a world- renowned hacker to answer his phone ? hilary : [ sighs ] it 's a front . and it explains why victor was so willing to open up his servers for inspection . mariah : i mean , when you have natalie on the case , why not ? she could probably wipe those clean before breakfast . hilary : god , this is so juicy . mariah : i told you . hilary : but we ca n't use it . we ca n't use any of it . mariah : why not ? hilary : because our lawyers wo n't let us air anything unflattering about newman unless we have solid proof . mariah : okay . i get it . but there 's got to be a way around it . paul : you know , nik , it 's just that we do n't want to see you dragged into yet another one of victor 's messes . nikki : have i told you two lately how much i love you ? paul : [ chuckles ] neil : well , you can tell us again and again if you want .

[ chuckles ] she 's my golden ticket out of here . and i am getting out . how else do you think i 'll get my cat back ? dylan : you and patty . must have been a very intense conversation after i left the room . sharon : everything 's intense with patty . dylan : what were you talking about ? sharon : just exactly what she said . she needs to be careful how she conducts herself when she 's there . dylan : and that 's all ? sharon : well , i mean , i might have gotten a little bit heated with her when i warned her to stop creating trouble , you know , all these paintings and these pictures and requesting to see me . it 's too much . it 's got to stop . dylan : well , you know , sharon , when i came back , she was really calm . sharon : are you accusing me of something ? dylan : you just seem a little on edge . sharon : well , yeah , of course , i 'm on edge , dylan . do you know what it 's like being in a place like that ? i 'm gon na have nightmares now tonight about feeling trapped and being around people who are out of their mind , drugs running through my body , constantly aware of the fact that if you do n't follow the rules exactly , you 're gon na be back at square one ! it 's terrifying ! dylan : okay , all right . everything 's okay . sharon : no , it 's not okay ! i do n't want to think about things like this anymore . i 've done my time ! now i 'm falling apart at the seams ! i 'm not gon na lose everything , dylan ! i wo n't ! dylan : okay . sharon . sharon : [ sighs ] dylan : it 's all right . i got you . i got you .

[ laughs ] neil : you 're wonderful . [ laughs ] hilary : nikki . neil . nikki : oh . hello , hilary . hilary : i just wanted to make sure there was no hard feelings about the story that we just aired . nikki : um , about my husband ? hilary : that 's the one . nikki : well , to be honest , i -- are you recording this ? hilary : yes , i am . neil : what are you doing , hilary ? you do n't need to do this . hilary : well , i did n't think that there would be a problem . i mean , come on . nikki newman afraid of the spotlight ? nikki : [ sighs ] hilary : i figured that you 'd want your opinion on camera . so , how do you feel about your husband 's unethical -- i 'm sorry . i mean , alleged unethical business practices ? devon : how bad is it ? leslie : i mean , i 'd like to sugarcoat , but it 's not really possible . so ... you broadcast a disparaging story without checking the source first . it 's like journalism 101 . they probably teach you that the first day of class . devon : okay . um , just tell me what this means for -- for everything that i have , from my inheritance from katherine . leslie : it 's all vulnerable , devon . victor is suing you for every penny he can get . victor : the source of the leak is not my family . natalie : but travis said we need to think -- victor : i do n't care what travis said . he is looking in the wrong places . natalie : i 'm just wondering if maybe you 're a little too close . sometimes it 's hard to be objective when it comes to the people we care about . victor : my dear girl , the leak does not come from a member of my family . they tried some rather destructive tactics against me before , and it ended disastrously for them . so no one in my family would do this . natalie : so you trust them completely ? victor : as i do you . natalie : really ? victor : yeah . you brought this information to me . that means you 're loyal . and i reward loyalty . natalie : i feel like i just entered the inner sanctum . victor : [ laughs ] natalie : i 'll get back to work , then . no more leaks for newman enterprises , not on my watch . victor : okay . natalie ? i have a better idea . additional sponsorship nikki : my husband has been accused of many things through the years . that 's what happens when you 're successful . hilary : true , but not all those accusations were unfounded . i mean , the man did spend the last few months in prison , right ? nikki : oh , is that -- i did not know that . hilary : it would be such a shame if he had to go back again and so soon . neil : okay , hey , hey , that 's enough . there 's no way that devon signed off on this , accosting guests at his own club . last time i checked , the press has been banned from here . i think that means you , too . now go on . get out of here . hilary : okay , relax , neil . i 'm just trying to get to the truth . neil : i am relaxed . she gave you her statement . now beat it . hilary : in case you want a real sitdown . have a nice day . neil : you , too . nikki : [ sighs ] neil : wow . are you all right ? huh ? nikki : listen , if i let it get to me every time i was in gc buzz , or any member of my family , for that matter , i just would n't even be standing anymore . i 'm afraid it 's just one of those unfortunate facts of life . neil : not if i have anything to say about it . leslie : the easiest way to make this disappear would be to track down the source to verify the authenticity of the documents , negating victor 's entire suit . devon : yeah , well , i 'd love to , uh , to do that , but we have no idea where they came from . it just ended up on a desk here with no name , address , or stamp . leslie : you 're gon na have to somehow make peace with victor . devon : yeah , have you met victor newman ? leslie : go to him , devon , okay , hat in hand , offer him up some kind of deal . devon : what kind of deal ? leslie : i do n't know . but i 'm sure there 's something victor wants . there must be . find it . figure out a way to use it . victor : see what i 'm getting at ? natalie : not really . now you want there to be a leak ? i thought my whole purpose was to seal this place shut . victor : i want you to continue sealing this place shut , okay ? i want you to protect our servers . but ... i want you to leave some sensitive files vulnerable . just not obviously vulnerable . but vulnerable enough for someone to download them or perhaps transfer them or print them out . natalie : so they 're traceable . victor : you got it . natalie : that way we snag enough evidence to find this traitor and deliver him to the police . victor : no , no , no , no , no . we wo n't deliver them to the police . whoever the mole is will be delivered to me . i 'll deal with him . dylan : [ sighs ] sharon : are you thinking about going to see paul and patty ? dylan : i mean , yeah . i 'm thinking about it . i just do n't know if there 's anything i can do . mariah : what did paul say about her ? was she saying anything outrageous ? dylan : i do n't think he actually saw her yet . he was right about to go in . you know , i 'm just hoping that he can get through to her , give her some peace of mind . [ cell phone rings ] dylan : that 's the station . i got to take this . mcavoy . yeah . sharon : this can not be happening . mariah : patty was already a loose cannon . now that she thinks that we 're playing her ? sharon : what 's to stop her from telling paul everything now ? mariah : if she has n't already , sharon . sharon : god , what do we do ? what do we do ? mariah : we ca n't go there and stop her . sharon : i know . but maybe we can get paul to come home , some kind of an emergency , a reason why he has to leave patty right away . mariah : and when he gets here and sees that everything is fine ? sharon : just fake something . we 'll take sully to the e.r . mariah : you ca n't use sully . sharon : no , you 're right . dylan knows that sully 's fine . we 'll just come up with something . mariah : we have already got caught in so many lies , sharon . inventing one this huge , it 's gon na be the last straw . i know it . sharon : if we would just get on the same page , i know -- mariah : no , no more pages . no more . i 'm out . i ca n't . i ca n't do it anymore . i - i ca n't keep coming up with cover stories and spin stories . my god , i ca n't even keep track of the ones that i 've already told . and dylan ? looking at him in the eyes is excruciating . he 's gon na know . he 's gon na see . he 's gon na figure out that something is very , very wrong . sharon : this is not easy . believe me . i know . but what is the alternative ? mariah : i do n't know . i do n't know . i just ca n't be here . sharon : wait . mariah . mariah : i 'm sorry , sharon . i 'm sorry . i really am . [ door closes ] patty : but why ca n't i go back to fairview ? paul : patty , i think you know the answer to that . you need a more secure facility after what happened to dr. anderson . patty : she is a very bad person , paulie . she should be locked up , not me ! paul : calm down . it 's not about dr. anderson anymore . when i first explained this to you , you were excited . you were looking forward to something new . is that not right ? patty : right , right ! no ! but that was before ! paul : before what ? patty : no ! before i knew that this was gon na be for good ! i 'm never gon na get out of here , paulie ! never ! paul : you do n't know that it 's for good . the transfer was not about getting out . it was about getting better . i do n't -- i do n't ... wait a minute . patty : what ? paul : were you planning on escaping ? is that what was going through your head ? talk to me . patty : you want to know what 's going through my head ? you wonder what i 'm thinking about , paulie ? ! paul : i just asked what 's going through your head . patty : i 'm thinking about exposing the dirty secrets once and for all . paul : okay , patty , uh ... let 's talk about the paintings . that 's where your secrets are , right ? patty : i told you , they 're in my head . paul : i know they 're in your head , but you expressed yourself through ... okay , you do n't want to talk about the paintings ? let 's not talk about the paintings . just tell me what the secrets are . if you tell me the truth , it 'll help me help you . that 's all i want . patty : why am i here ? paul : you 're here to get better . patty : you 're lying , paulie . paul : i am not lying . patty : places like this , they do n't make me better . they dim me . i 'm never going to get help . i 'm never going to be free . they -- they want me never to exist ! paul : patty , do you trust me ? patty : [ breathing heavily ] paul : do you ? there is no ulterior motive here . i love you . patty : i know , paulie , but i 'm not talking about you , paul ! i 'm talking about them ! they want me to rot away in here ! i just need you to protect me ! paul : patty , patty . patty : no , paulie . please let me go ! paul : come on , sweetheart . patty : i just need help . paul : just stay with me . patty : [ gasping ] paul : there you go . you make it harder on yourself , sweetheart . attagirl . you okay ? patty : sharon . paul : shar -- patty : bring her here . i have to talk to her . please , paulie .

[ knock on door ] dylan : [ sighs ] hey . paul : hey . sorry i did n't call . dylan : is everything okay with patty ? paul : no . she 's not all right . and she 's insisting on seeing you . hilary : my interview with nikki was good journalism . devon : i know you do n't believe that , hon . hilary : yes , i do , devon ! she could have let something slip , something that could have thrown out this whole lawsuit . devon : and did she ? hilary : no . devon : no . no , she did n't , because nikki newman is a smart woman who would n't say anything to incriminate her husband . hilary : you do n't know that . devon : i do know that , okay ? and please , you need to stop making these big decisions behind my back , because now this is about more than just protecting this business . it 's about protecting everything we have , all of our money , my inheritance , katherine 's legacy . hilary : where are you going ? devon : i 'm gon na end this . hilary : [ sighs ] sharon : no way am i going to rivercrest . i ca n't . dylan : did patty say why she wanted to see sharon ? paul : no . no , she did n't . but she was adamant . at first there was the usual delusion . i mean , she went on about the transfer , her lack of freedom , and this whole conspiracy against her . but when she asked to see you , it was the first time she actually seemed coherent . sharon : well , that 's great , paul , but that 's not enough to convince me to go . i just do n't see what good it would do anyone , especially patty . dylan : look , i 'm not gon na push you to do something that you 're uncomfortable with . but we really need to put this behind us . paul , i 'll go see patty , settle this myself . mariah : so , you 're working for victor ? natalie : yep . mariah : newman ? natalie : yep . mariah : the same guy who almost had you strangled for selling out to the competition . natalie : that 's the one . and it 's all water under the bridge . mariah : [ chuckling ] right . if that bridge was on fire and endangering the lives of everybody around it . so , what exactly does victor have you working on ? some cutting - edge , new security program that lasers any non - newmans on sight ? natalie : i 'm victor 's new assistant . mariah : as in getting coffee , sorting mail , answering phones type of assistant ? i do n't mean to be rude , but is n't -- natalie : do you have another setting ? mariah : is n't that sort of a downgrade ? natalie : i have bills to pay . mariah : so pay them with the pass key fortune . oh , i 'm sorry . did you forget the financial landslide that you cut me out of it ? natalie : it 's gone . mariah : how is that even remotely possible ? natalie : i put all the money in a silicon valley startup . needless to say , it crashed and burned . it was a stupid app . mariah : so now it 's back to the working world . natalie : more specifically back to the office . see you around . mariah : see you . nikki : well , we could always do one of those walkathons to raise awareness for addiction . those are always very successful . neil : yeah . how do you do that ? nikki : um , do what ? neil : you know , just black out everything that happened with hilary . nikki : [ scoffs ] that was nothing . neil : was it ? nikki : are you insinuating that i ca n't take a little muck - raking ? neil : well , you see here , i 'm just more concerned about the actual muck . nikki : ah , ah . do n't do that . neil : what ? nikki : do n't lecture me on victor . neil : no , no , no , no . no lecture . i 'm just , uh , i want you to be careful , you know ? his actions and subsequent fallout has always been a trigger for you . nikki : i know that you 're saying that out of love for me , but believe me , i am in no danger of falling off the wagon . neil : [ laughs ] yeah . you do n't believe that any more than i do . devon : thanks . victor : hello , devon . devon : hello , mr. newman . i , uh , i was just wondering if you had time to get lunch . victor : wow . just the two of us ? devon : just the two of us . i thought that you and i can discuss our disagreement civilly . victor : yeah . does that mean you 're willing to give up the source of this slanderous information ? devon : i literally ca n't do that because we do n't know who dropped those documents off . victor : oh , i 'll be damned . then why did you come to see me ? devon : well , i came to see you because even though i do n't have the name of the source , i do have a proposition for you . victor : ah . nikki : thank you . you 're very sweet , but you did n't have to buy me tea . neil : oh , yes , i did . it 's penance for trying to give you a lecture after i said i would n't . nikki : i know it 's coming from a good place . neil : it 's coming from a personal place . more personal than you know . nikki : what do you mean ? what 's going on ? neil : i saw my mother . nikki : my god . when ? neil : a couple of months ago . she was barely hanging on , nikki . nikki : oh . i am so sorry . neil : i got there in time , you know . i made peace with her before she died . nikki : well , that 's good . that 's very important . i just had no idea . again , i 'm so sorry . neil : i 'm not . and i did n't tell you this to get your sympathy . this experience has totally changed me , nikki . it steered me in a different direction . i want to make the most out of my time while i 'm here , spend it with family and friends . i want to leave my imprint before i go . nikki : as we all do . neil : let me ask you something . is this what you want your imprint to be ? the woman who defended victor newman at all costs ? nikki : neil , that is not fair . neil : oh , really ? why not ? nikki : because it 's just not that cut and dried . neil : well , see , it is , and that 's what i 'm saying . if you look at it , life has a way of -- paul : hey , you two . nikki : hi , paul . neil : hey , paul . paul : am i interrupting or can i join you ? neil : pull up a chair . go ahead . paul : all right . so , how are you guys ? what are we talking about ? neil : well , we 're talking about victor . care to weigh in ? victor : well , i 'm intrigued , devon . i mean , what could you possibly have that would make up for the damage done by that preposterous gc buzz show of yours that has done so much damage to me and my company ? devon : well , it would only be damaging if the information is not true . victor : now you 're pointing more fingers . you 're making my case much easier now . devon : i want you to know that i 'm very aware of all the legal ramifications , and i have discussed this with my attorney thoroughly , and her advice to me was that i need to uncover who the source is . victor : well , you keep that attorney . that 's good advice . devon : it really is . it 's obvious , you know ? so what i 'm gon na do is i 'm gon na take it a step further . i 've hired of team of private investigators to probe into every facet of your life , personal and professional , so that we can find anything , anyone , something to validate our story , or debunk it . victor : ah . so you hired a group of snoops to investigate me . devon : because i figure what better way to get to the truth . now , with all of that digging , who 's to say what they might unearth ? accidentally , of course . that is , unless you drop the lawsuit . victor : mm - hmm . devon : because then i would have no need to investigate you . victor : devon , you 're threatening me . that 's never a good idea . nikki : my husband has been accused of many things through the years . that 's what happens when you 're successful . hilary : [ sighs ] mariah : i have a tip . hilary : good for you . mariah : it 's about newman . hilary : i 'm listening . mariah : it 's big , but it 's gon na come at a price . hilary : okay , how much ? mariah : i would like a job here . hilary : okay , i was thinking more along the lines of a couple hundred bucks . mariah : not that i could n't use it , but i 'm more interested in the long run . hilary : do you even have any experience in television ? mariah : about as much as you did when you took over as host . hilary : i had some professional experience . mariah : and all that experience landed you in the middle of a lawsuit , by the way . hilary : we 're handling that . mariah : i know , and i can help . i have dirt on the guy who 's suing you for everything you 're worth . call me crazy , but i think a job is a small price to pay . dylan : hey . i can do this alone . you do n't have to go in . sharon : if you can handle doing this , um , so can i . dylan : okay . ready ? sharon : yeah . patty : you .

[ scene_break ] dylan : can i get you anything else ? nikki : oh ! um ... well , i have had my eye on those cooki -- dylan : whoa ! nikki : oh , i 'm so sorry ! dylan : no , no , no , no , no ! it 's okay ! it 's okay . i got a towel right here . nikki : no , i 'm sorry for spilling , and ... i 'm sorry for bringing up chelsea and connor earlier . that 's a private matter , and i 'm sorry if i was intrusive . dylan : i - i appreciate that . i guess i 'm not used to the tables being turned . before doing this , i was a bartender -- you know , pouring drinks , pouring coffee . people want to talk . they tell you things . i 'm the one used to asking questions , not -- not answering them . nikki : then , i suppose , in the natural order of things ... i owe you a confession . [ scene_break ] victoria : chancellor and newman have some overlap . but they really could complement each other in so many ways -- manufacturing and distribution . we could put the entire division under a lifestyles umbrella , with beauty of nature as the crown jewel . oh ! and a fashion line -- a fantastic fashion line that would trump the line at jabot ! victor : so , are you interested ? victoria : yeah , daddy . [ both chuckle ] victoria : i 'm interested . what gave it away ? victor : i love your enthusiasm , my baby . can you handle all this , raising a kid and all ? victoria : yes , i can do it . it 's not 1955 . victor : okay .

[ scene_break ] adam : hey . listen to me . i swear to you , we will get a donor in time . chelsea : [ voice breaking ] you do know what that means , though , do n't you ? i mean , people do n't just hand over corneas . so waiting and wishing at it just feels wrong . [ sniffles ] we have to wait for someone to die . and then connor goes into surgery . and then we wait more , and then we pray , and ... hope that we 're lucky enough -- please , god , let us be lucky enough -- [ breathes deeply ] that we get to walk out with our son , and he 's perfect , and he 's seeing perfectly . [ sniffles ] [ sighs ] and that he grows up to recognize our faces . and maybe he likes the color red more than he likes the color blue . and he 'll know the names of 20 dinosaurs before he knows how to tie his shoelaces . but then what d -- what do the donor 's family -- what -- what about them ? what do they get ? they just get pain and -- and grief and memories . but i 'm still wishing . i 'm a horrible person ! adam : no , you 're not . no , you 're not . chelsea : [ sniffles , sighs ] adam : you 're his mom . i 'm his dad . and we 're just focusing on him right now , concentrating on our family . chelsea : but are we ? you did n't answer me before . are we a family ? or is it like johnny ? am i just the woman that gave him life ? adam : no , this is not like johnny . we 're both his parents . and with him , we are a family . chelsea : i 'm asking you , adam , if you are going to try to take him from me . are you going to cut me out of connor 's life ? [ scene_break ] dylan : the fine print says i 'm just a coffee shop owner , not a priest . i can listen , but i ca n't absolve . nikki : listening is more than enough . dylan : then i 'm your man . nikki : well , over the years , um ... i 've pretty much drowned myself in charity work and partly because i could . i had the time and the money and the sources . and i understood the importance of giving back . but part of my giving back ... was really about ... shame and fear . i just thought that maybe if i did enough good , i could wash away the bad , you know ? dylan : yeah , i know what that feels like . nikki : i 'm sorry . i wish you did n't . dylan : if -- if you want to stop , it 's -- nikki : i made a decision many years ago that i thought was the best one , but -- dylan : now what -- what 's changed ? nikki : i have . i 've changed . i thought that i could keep this decision in the past , but -- but now i - i - i realize that i ca n't . the sin of omission and -- and of deception -- i - i - i - i just ca n't live with it anymore . i mean , how do i tell the people that i love the most ... the truth ? i do n't know if they 'll forgive me .

[ doorbell rings ] chelsea : huh ? what do you think ? adam : what do you want ? victor : just your signature on my document here . then ... my acquisition of newman is complete . chelsea : adam , we do n't have time for this right now . adam : so , you 're delivering papers . that 's a courier 's job . are you a courier now , or you just here to agitate ? victor : you know , i thought that now that business is almost concluded ... we could meet as family , you know ? i 'd like to get to know my grandchild there . connor : [ grunts quietly ] chelsea : no . no way are you getting near my son . i 've seen how you treat your own . connor : [ grunts quietly ] [ scene_break ] billy : here she goes ! `` i 'm melting ! i 'm melting ! `` delia : [ shrieks ] i 'm melting ! i 'm melting ! why ? ! billy : that is amazing ! you 're gon na steal the show ! that is so good ! that is so good . okay . wait , wait , wait . it 's dash 's turn . are you ready ? are you ready ? get the basket . all right . this is your chance , buddy . this is your chance to strut your stuff ! okay . let 's see . let 's see . get in there , all four paws ! and stay , dash ! stay ! delia : dash ? ! billy : [ whimpers , sighs ] victoria : oh , hey ! hey , any sign from hannah ? billy : no , honey . uh , and we are late . we got to get to the school . you know what ? just bring the flying monkey with us -- he 'll be fine ! victoria : i ca n't ! he 's too cranky from teething . i 'll be in the hall . i 'll miss the whole performance . you guys go ahead . i 'll wait for hannah . i 'll be there before the curtain goes up , i promise , okay ? billy : sounds like a plan , ma'am ! mwah ! all right . hey , little witchy - poo ! let 's get a move on ! we got to go ! victoria : you sure you do n't need any help ? billy : no ! i 've got this ! victoria : dee dee , break a leg ! delia : that means good luck . billy : oh ! well , thank you for clearing that up . i feel so much better now . okay . goodbye ! goodbye ! victoria : goodbye ! billy : goodbye ! let 's go ! victoria : you guys have everything , right ? okay . see you later ! billy : bye , little buddy .

'cause delia 's spending the night at billy 's . kevin : nothing . why ? did you have something in mind ? chloe : well , only the most amazing night ever . `` pretty in pink `` is playing at the riverside theater , and , i mean , just picture it -- andie and duckie , two stories high . kevin : and you 'd be okay with that -- the two of us seeing that movie together ? chloe : i could wear my red andie wig like the one i wore on halloween . kevin : i 'd want to see the movie , but with you , not andie . and i do n't want to be duckie . do n't make me be duckie . chloe : so , are you in ? kevin : yeah , i 'm in . the movies , tonight , with you -- it 's a date . chloe : yeah ! it is . [ scene_break ] nikki : i 'm so sorry that chelsea was n't honest with you . dylan : h - how did you know -- adam . nikki : to love a child and then have to let it go -- i 've seen that up close , and it 's devastating . you just give your heart to this precious , little infant , and then to suddenly have to walk away ? i am sorry . dylan : connor is adam 's son . always was . you know , it 's like you said . better to know now . to have a kid grow up living a lie -- well , that 's not love . that 's just being selfish . [ scene_break ] billy : how you doing back there , champ ? little opening night jitters , huh ? well , i tell you what . what you might should do when you get up on that stage and you look out at the audience of all those people , if you start to get freaked out , you should do what your dad does before he has to speak in public . you know what that is ? delia : picture them in their underpants ? billy : what ? ! who taught you that ? ! delia : mommy . billy : mommy ? of course she did ! that might work for some people , i guess , but what i was gon na say is before i have to speak in public , i take one second , and i think of the one thing that makes me the happiest . and then i know no matter what i do , it 's gon na be great ! even if i mess up a little bit , it 's gon na be fine , because i have that one great thing in my life , so nothing else matters . delia : so i could think of dash ! billy : you could think of dash . you could think of pinkerton pony . you could think of anything that makes your little heart happy . delia : what 's your happy thing ? billy : well , that 's you , little witchy . i think of you , and i realize i 'm the luckiest guy in the world . [ scene_break ] chelsea : a real father actually cares about his own child 's happiness , makes decisions based on what works for the kid , not himself . adam has bent over backwards to try to get your approval and your acceptance , and you just smack him down every single time , disown him every other week . so forget you have a grandson . victor : that 's a hell of a song you 're singing , especially after you tried to deny that boy his real father . i suggest you do n't play house with this scam artist , son . get yourself a lawyer . make sure you demand your rights as a parent . adam : chelsea , why do n't you make it out to that appointment ? we do n't want to miss it . chelsea : you 're not coming ? ! adam : no , i 'm gon na handle him , and i 'll be there as soon as i can . i 'll see you soon , peanut . [ sighs ] chelsea : [ sighs ] victor : you have full custody , son ? adam : why do n't you do like chelsea suggested , and you just forget you have another grandson ? you know , you and i have cut ties -- business , personal , family . and i certainly do n't want you anywhere near my son . victor : he 's a newman , you know . adam : yeah , so am i ! lucky me and that special last name . victor : the newman name could open many doors for you . that 's an advantage i did not have . i am gon na pass on that legacy to my children and grandchildren . and what did you do as a newman ? you brought in jack - ass abbott into my company , who descended upon it like a plague of locusts ! adam : now , see , i did n't have the advantage of the newman last name , just like you , and i 've done a lot . but that 's not the point . the point is , this is about jack 's money , is n't it ? and without jack 's money , that company would still be a publicly traded company , and you would have zero power . so how dare i get that company back and help you out ? victor : you thought you could con me , son . did n't you ? now newman is out of your hands . adam : i 'm gon na start focusing on my family , which is a novel concept i should 've picked up on a long time ago . i spent too much time trying to make nice with you . victor : you gon na try to make a family with that scam artist ? good luck to you . you trust her ? neither of you deserve to be parent to that boy . now , you sign these papers , or you do n't sign these papers -- it does n't make a damn bit of difference . the deal is done . adam : you 're right about that -- it 's done . thanks , dad , for being the kind of father that nobody should ever aspire to be . adam : so if the doctor 's not quite ready to see connor yet , then that 'll give me time to get there . i 'll see you soon . [ scene_break ] delia : mommy ! kevin ! kevin : [ laughing ] delia : i 'm gon na break a leg ! chloe : yeah , looks like someone 's gon na be right behind you ! billy : do n't worry about me . kevin : one drama queen is enough .

[ grunts ] victoria : you were there to see connor ? victor : and also to have adam sign the transfer papers of newman . he will never be part of the family business again . victoria : i honestly do n't know how you can be so sure he wo n't try to weasel his way back into newman . victor : are you kidding ? after he sold a piece of my empire to jack - ass abbott , do you honestly think i would let him near the company again ? not gon na happen . you know what , big boy ? you 're a newman ! you 're strong ! your mommy is going to ensure the future of our family . [ scene_break ] chelsea : is there any blood at home i need to know about ? adam : uh , i signed the papers . sold my shares of newman . cut ties for good . chelsea : with the company or with victor ? adam : as far as i 'm concerned , there is no difference . chelsea : but there is . with your mom gone , victor is your family . adam : and that 's where you 're wrong . i have my own family now . connor : [ grunts ] chelsea : when you say your family ... am i a part of that , adam ? [ door opens ] dr. lintz : i 'm sorry to keep you waiting . please , have a seat . chelsea : thank you . um , adam ? adam : yeah . chelsea : thank you so much for meeting with us so quickly . adam : yeah , you understand the urgency . so i 'd just like to know . what is exactly wrong with our son 's vision ? dr. lintz : it 's called peters anomaly . chelsea : how serious is it ? dr. lintz : very . connor has severe opacity in both corneas . if it 's left untreated , he will lose all sight . adam : so we treat it . dr. lintz : the good news is we 've caught it relatively early , while there 's still a treatment option . connor : [ fussing ] adam : which is ... ? dr. lintz : corneal transplant . straightforward procedure , 30 minutes for each eye . adam : so if we 're talking about a transplant , a corneal transplant , there 's still a chance of rejection . dr. lintz : yes , there is . chelsea : can -- can you try again after that ? dr. lintz : it 's possible . adam : possible . dr. lintz : if a newborn does n't achieve sight in the first six weeks of life , there 's the chance the brain may not accept images later . adam : so what you 're saying is we should just take a chance ? this is our one shot , and if we mess this up , then our son is blind for life ? so , suddenly , my son 's treatable disease is n't so treatable anymore ? dr. lintz : it is with a corneal transplant . without it , your son will go blind . chelsea : well , uh , c -- uh , we need a donor , right ? so , connor 's three weeks old . that -- that gives us three weeks to find a match ! dr. lintz : there 's no blood in the cornea , so there 's no need to match type , as in the case of an organ transplant . adam : no , i want this thing done , and i want it done tomorrow . dr. lintz : ocular tissue is in high demand . it does n't stay in the donor bank long -- a day or two at most . adam : doctor , look at me . what will it take to put my son at the top of the list ? what do you need ? you want a new operating room , a new wing ? you tell me . dr. lintz : it does n't work that way . chelsea : how does it work ? dr. lintz : i 'll call the donor bank and check availability . in the meantime , here are consent forms for you to sign . then we wait . adam : we wait . [ voice breaking ] we just wait for our son to go blind . i swear to you , chelsea , he will see again . i will do whatever it takes . [ scene_break ] victoria : okay . johnny 's in his crib for now , but his teething usually gets worse at night . victor : i saw his brother earlier , you know . victoria : dad , yeah , i know . connor and johnny are related biologically , but chelsea 's connor 's mom , and i 'm johnny 's mom . victor : well , but they 're newmans -- one by blood , one by love ! victoria : aww . that is so lovely ! but , you know , it sounds an awful lot like you 're envisioning the next generation of newman leadership . victor : i am , indeed ! i had a meeting with noah , and i have some big plans for him . but as much as i love seeing johnny , i 'd like to get to know connor , as well , you know ? victoria : i just do n't think that 's wise . i do n't ! i 'm sorry ! i think it 's just a - a way for adam to use the baby to slither back into newman ! victor : sweetheart , that is not gon na happen . i do n't trust adam , okay ? but his son is innocent . victoria : and you want me to what -- to book playdates so that you can have access to connor ? i 'm sorry , but if -- if that 's what you 're talking about when you say my big role in -- in the future of newman , thank you , dad , but no . victor : i want you to listen carefully now . bringing newman back into chancellor industries is going to require a massive restructuring . i want you to head up that effort . i want you to be in charge of the merger -- you alone . does that sound like babysitting to you ? [ scene_break ] dylan : can i get you anything else ? nikki : oh ! um ... well , i have had my eye on those cooki -- dylan : whoa ! nikki : oh , i 'm so sorry ! dylan : no , no , no , no , no ! it 's okay ! it 's okay . i got a towel right here . nikki : no , i 'm sorry for spilling , and ... i 'm sorry for bringing up chelsea and connor earlier . that 's a private matter , and i 'm sorry if i was intrusive . dylan : i - i appreciate that . i guess i 'm not used to the tables being turned . before doing this , i was a bartender -- you know , pouring drinks , pouring coffee . people want to talk . they tell you things . i 'm the one used to asking questions , not -- not answering them . nikki : then , i suppose , in the natural order of things ... i owe you a confession . [ scene_break ] victoria : chancellor and newman have some overlap . but they really could complement each other in so many ways -- manufacturing and distribution . we could put the entire division under a lifestyles umbrella , with beauty of nature as the crown jewel . oh ! and a fashion line -- a fantastic fashion line that would trump the line at jabot ! victor : so , are you interested ? victoria : yeah , daddy . [ both chuckle ] victoria : i 'm interested . what gave it away ? victor : i love your enthusiasm , my baby . can you handle all this , raising a kid and all ? victoria : yes , i can do it . it 's not 1955 . victor : okay . [ telephone rings ] victoria : okay . [ sighs ] kids . delia . her play . i should be there . victor : okay , sweetheart . victoria : i should be there now ! hey ! billy : hey ! you on your way ? victoria : listen . hannah texted . family emergency . billy : well , is there anyone else we can call ? victoria : no ! and you know what ? it 's just so late . i already put johnny down . you know , i really want to be there , but i - it 's just -- it 's not gon na work . billy : it 's cool , it 's cool . we 've got to go , and i 've got the camera , and we can always have delia lip - sync the parts when we get home . victoria : yes ! okay . good . and i am gon na throw a dynamic , one - woman cast party . i 'm gon na start decorating now . and would you do me a favor and would you grab some ice cream on the way home ? billy : oh , honey , ice cream is my middle name ! i 'll call you when we 're on our way . [ scene_break ] adam : hey . listen to me . i swear to you , we will get a donor in time . chelsea : [ voice breaking ] you do know what that means , though , do n't you ? i mean , people do n't just hand over corneas . so waiting and wishing at it just feels wrong . [ sniffles ] we have to wait for someone to die . and then connor goes into surgery . and then we wait more , and then we pray , and ... hope that we 're lucky enough -- please , god , let us be lucky enough -- [ breathes deeply ] that we get to walk out with our son , and he 's perfect , and he 's seeing perfectly . [ sniffles ] [ sighs ] and that he grows up to recognize our faces . and maybe he likes the color red more than he likes the color blue . and he 'll know the names of 20 dinosaurs before he knows how to tie his shoelaces . but then what d -- what do the donor 's family -- what -- what about them ? what do they get ? they just get pain and -- and grief and memories . but i 'm still wishing . i 'm a horrible person ! adam : no , you 're not . no , you 're not . chelsea : [ sniffles , sighs ] adam : you 're his mom . i 'm his dad . and we 're just focusing on him right now , concentrating on our family . chelsea : but are we ? you did n't answer me before . are we a family ? or is it like johnny ? am i just the woman that gave him life ? adam : no , this is not like johnny . we 're both his parents . and with him , we are a family . chelsea : i 'm asking you , adam , if you are going to try to take him from me . are you going to cut me out of connor 's life ? [ scene_break ] dylan : the fine print says i 'm just a coffee shop owner , not a priest . i can listen , but i ca n't absolve . nikki : listening is more than enough . dylan : then i 'm your man . nikki : well , over the years , um ... i 've pretty much drowned myself in charity work and partly because i could . i had the time and the money and the sources . and i understood the importance of giving back . but part of my giving back ... was really about ... shame and fear . i just thought that maybe if i did enough good , i could wash away the bad , you know ? dylan : yeah , i know what that feels like . nikki : i 'm sorry . i wish you did n't . dylan : if -- if you want to stop , it 's -- nikki : i made a decision many years ago that i thought was the best one , but -- dylan : now what -- what 's changed ? nikki : i have . i 've changed . i thought that i could keep this decision in the past , but -- but now i - i - i realize that i ca n't . the sin of omission and -- and of deception -- i - i - i - i just ca n't live with it anymore . i mean , how do i tell the people that i love the most ... the truth ? i do n't know if they 'll forgive me . [ crying ] i mean , they might even hate me . and i need them so much . the thought of losing them -- it just upsets me . [ crying ] victor : what 's the matter ? nikki : [ crying ] oh ! victor : what 's the matter ? nikki : [ whimpers quietly ] victor : what did you do to my wife ? what did this man say to you ? nikki : nothing , nothing . victor : what do you mean `` nothing ? `` nikki : you just walked in at the wrong moment . victor : sweetheart , you 're not supposed to be under stress , okay ? the doctors told you that ! what did you do to her ? first , you disrupt my son 's wedding . now you make his mother cry ? what 's the matter with you ? dylan : sir , um , i 'll let mrs. newman explain . i got to get back to work . victor : who is this guy ? why did he make you cry ? nikki : i - i was crying . he -- he was an innocent bystander . victor : what do you mean , he 's innocent ? you tell nicholas that ! nikki : nicholas ' broken heart was avery . that was her decision . victor : what is this guy doing here ? ! he upsets you . he cozies up to you . now you 're in tears . what 's he doing here ? what ? nikki : he has nowhere else to go , victor . he has no family . he has no home . nothing ! no one ! victor : why do you care about that ? nikki : please leave him alone ! victor : why did he upset you so much ? nikki : why should i tell you anything when you 'd rather bully a stranger ? ! [ scene_break ] adam : do n't think that i do n't see that you moving in with me was -- was part of your plan . you wanted to be near the baby , and you wanted me to see how much he needs you . chelsea : i - i did n't have a plan . adam : you always have a plan . but this one was bang on . i see you with this kid . he knows you . he knows your voice . he knows your touch . when he 's with you ... everything is perfect . my mother -- that 's how things were . when i was with her , things were perfect and safe . i 'm a hell of a jerk . but i 'm not so much of a jerk that i would take that away from him . chelsea : but i lied to you . adam : you did . and that 's gon na be hard to forgive . and i take this to court . i 'll win . you 'll be wrong . i 'll be proven right . and what 'll he have to show for it ? no mom to sing to him . no mom to hold him at night . chelsea : s - so , uh , what -- what are you saying ? are you saying i - it 's over ? y - you wo n't fight for sole custody ? adam : [ voice breaking ] i 'm gon na give him the sun ... the moon and the stars ... and a family . he deserves that the most . a family . chelsea : thank you . adam , thank you !

bob : are we getting married or not ? kim : well , i -- i think , now that everything has changed , that we should take advantage of this opportunity and examine our options separately . bob : be reasonable . look , i - i know this minister that married us was a fraud 25 years ago , that our marriage is not legal , but instead of correcting that mistake , you 're gon na walk out on me ? kim : well , i do n't know what i 'm gon na do . i 'm having as much trouble absorbing this as you are . all i know right now is i need some space . bob : where are you going ? kim : well , i - i think i 'll go to barbara 's , if that 's all right with you . barbara : of course . whatever you need . bob : look , do n't do this . we 'll go home . we 'll talk this over . leaving is not gon na solve anything . kim : but then what will ? what will solve our problems ? i -- i want to thank you all for this party , and i love you all very much . lisa : for heavens sake , bob ! are you gon na stop her or not ? bob : i 'm gon na try . do n't go . kim : why should n't i ? bob : you 're blowing this way out of proportion . kim : am i ? bob : look , you say you want to spend more time with me , you want the marriage to be our number - one priority . i can do that . kim : really ? bob : yeah . we correct the mistake and we get married for real tomorrow . kim : how ? bob : how ? i clear my schedule at the hospital , take a few days off , and we just focus on each other . what do you say ? margo : wait , wait , wait , wait . you ca n't go out there . you ca n't go . katie : why not ? tom : because dad and kim are still out on the patio talking , and i do n't want you to do anything to interrupt them . chris : at least they 're talking . that 's a good thing , right ? margo : let 's hope so . tom : i think we should be prepared for pretty much anything right now . margo : oh , would n't it be nice if something went right in this family , especially a wedding ? kim : i was really serious about this being a blessing in disguise . bob : how can any of this be a blessing ? kim : because it 's given us an opportunity to think about our lives , to think about what we really want and where our relationship is going . bob : no , no , no . i want to be married to you like i thought i was for the last 25 years . kim : we have a lot to think about . sleep well , dear . bob : well , my wife , or whatever kim is calling herself now , is not sure that she wants to marry me . chris : yeah , but mom 's gon na marry you again at some point , right ? bob : how the hell do i know ? nancy : bob . bob : i 'm sorry , mom , but whatever she 's thinking , whatever she 's doing , it seems to mean that she thinks our marriage is over . maybe she 's right . lisa : no . that ca n't be . susan : no . it 's a crazy misunderstanding . chris : yeah , dad . all you got to do is apologize . she 'll forgive you . bob : apologize for what ? she walked out on me . chris : just talk to her . tom : dad , you ca n't just give up like this . nancy : everyone quiet . ca n't you understand , kim 's just trying to make a point ? bob : well , i got her point loud and clear , mom . lisa : well , you 're gon na go after her and make it right , are n't you ? bob : you know what i 'm gon na do ? i 'm gon na go have a drink . maybe i 'll have a whole bottle . [ chris sighs ] chris : what now ? tom : we put our heads together and do whatever it takes to get them married . chris : how ? tom : divide and conquer . casey : maybe we should just leave them alone . tom : maybe no . chris : no . we got to fix this . casey : why ? tom : because if dad and kim ca n't make it , what hope is there for the rest of us . margo : amen . [ chris sighs ] chris : so , what 's the plan ? margo : well , tom is going to find your dad , and he 'll call the two of you if he needs backup , hmm ? casey : what am i gon na say to granddad ? chris : well , you could just remind him that he and my mom belong together . casey : maybe they do n't . hey , i 'm sorry . i thought they were rock - solid , too , but guess what ? they 're not . henry : case . casey : oh , thank you . i 'm just -- there 's no such thing as a happy ending . margo : well , i 'll be sure and tell your dad that . casey : i 'm not talking about you and dad . i 'm just -- katie : you 're just still mad at alison . casey : yes , i am , and what 's with you inviting her here without warning me ? margo : whoa . you did that ? chris : why ? casey : do not act like you did n't put her up to this , okay ? chris : casey , i did n't . oh . what did you do ? margo : you know , i 'd really like to hear the answer to that myself , but i got to get over to barbara 's , so wish me luck . katie : good luck . chris : you invited alison here and she showed up ? katie : mm - hmm . chris : oh . katie : she really cares about bob and kim , and they like her , too , and if casey had n't sent her away , i think it would have been fine . henry : casey 's just a bit cynical right now , okay , and who can blame him ? things did n't work out with the woman that he loved , and it 's maddening , longing for that someone who accepts you for who you are , seems to know everything that you need . katie : you 're talking about vienna , are n't you ? that 's so sweet . [ cellphone ringing ] henry : yes , i 'm talking about vienna . chris : tom ? tom : i found dad . chris : where ? tom : at the lakeview . chris : how is he ? tom : how do you think ? chris : right . okay , i 'll be right over . [ scene_break ] kim : does anybody know where bob went ? margo : yeah , he 's right downstairs . tom 's keeping an eye on him . kim : oh . well , that 's good . that makes me feel a lot better . barbara : you know , kim , now that you have gotten bob good and scared , do n't you think it 's time that you put the poor guy out of his misery ? kim : no . margo : well , come on . what does he have to do , huh ? what are you waiting for ? kim : you think i 'm gon na tell you so you can tell tom and tom will tell bob and then bob will come up here and try to appease me ? no , thank you . barbara : would that really be so bad ? kim : yes . barbara : you know , if we do n't let bob know what he 's done wrong , you might spend the next 25 years apart . kim : if he ca n't figure that out for himself that might be just as well . barbara : you do n't mean that . margo : okay , okay . all jokes aside here . why ca n't you just forgive him ? kim : i have . i mean , just as he 's forgiven me , many times . [ kim remembering ] bob : and then i found out you were pregnant . why did n't you tell me that the child was mine ? kim : how could i do that to you ? how could i do that to my sister ? oh , god . i had done so much already . bob : so you 've carried this all these years alone . [ scene_break ] margo : so , if you 've already forgiven him , then why wo n't you marry him again ? kim : because i love him . barbara : i really do n't understand . kim : it 's his job . it 's gon na kill him . he leaves the house long before breakfast in the morning . he comes back long after i 've gone to sleep . i have tried everything . i 've tried sweet talk , i 've tried threats , i 've tried nagging , and nothing works . he simply wo n't slow down , and i will be damned if i 'm gon na stand around and watch my husband work himself into an early grave ! barbara : so instead you 're just gon na fight with him ? margo : kim , wo n't he work even harder if he does n't have you to come home to ? i mean , what if you lose him because you walked away , huh ? kim : i 'm praying that he loves me more than anything and that means more than the hospital and that somehow he 'll realize that and then he 'll come back to me tonight . [ scene_break ] [ bob remembering ] kim : i know that i am going to just love being your wife , but we can still be friends , too , ca n't we ? bob : i think so . [ scene_break ] tom : hmm - hmm . bob : i figured one of you would find me . tom : [ laughs ] you okay that it 's me ? bob : could have been worse . tom : oh , thanks . bob : join me . tom : what are you doing here , dad ? bob : listen , do n't worry about me , okay ? why do n't we have some fun ? this could be a bachelor party . i could be a bachelor for the rest of my life . tom : well , maybe kim just needs a little time . bob : time ? to decide whether to marry a man that she 's been married to for 25 years ? you talk about stubborn . tom : so she 's the stubborn one . did you apologize ? bob : yeah . tom : did you mean it ? bob : i wo n't have my wife running my life . tom : it just does n't sound like kim 's style . bob : well , leaving me was n't her style until tonight , but she has . so be it . lisa : there you two are . i thought i 'd find you here . bob : i thought you 'd be upstairs trying to talk some sense into my wife . lisa : no , no . i decided i wanted just to come here and talk with you . tom , would you mind leaving me alone with your father for a few minutes , please ? tom : sure . i 'll be out in the lobby if you need me . lisa : how are you doing , bob ? bob : i 'm swell . not a care in the world . lisa : no , no , no , no , no . i 'm just so sorry about what happened . bob : do n't give it a second thought . lisa : well , i have been thinking about it . i 've been thinking about what kim said , and i think maybe she 's right . bob : about what ? lisa : i think this mix - up with that fake minister is a gift . i mean , it 's a gift for us . bob : which us ? lisa : you and me . bob : you and me ? lisa : bob , a long time ago , you and i had quite a spark going between us , and something -- something like that does n't just go away . it 's -- it 's probably still there , and maybe this is our chance to find out bob : we were something , the two of us . lisa : yes . we were more than that . we were something else . oh , but , bob , what we did best were those quiet times we had together , just loving each other . [ lisa remembering ] lisa : talking about the baby and things , it just makes me feel warm all over . bob : you 're pretty cute , you know that ? lisa : oh , oh . we 're so very , very lucky . bob : do you really mean that ? lisa : of course i do . bob : well , sometimes , mrs. hughes , to hear you talk , i wonder . [ scene_break ] lisa : oh , you know better than that . it could be our chance to rekindle what we had . bob : i 'm -- i 'm flattered that you feel that way . lisa : you -- you mean you do n't -- you 're not interested . bob : i 'd rather remember us fondly , because i -- i 'm a better man , a better father , a better husband because lisa miller once loved me . lisa : lisa miller can still love you . bob : but i love kim , whether she 's my wife or not . lisa : okay . so , i guess that 's your choice , is n't it ? bob : it is , and i 'm positive . lisa : okay . ca n't blame a girl for trying . [ scene_break ] barbara : let me help you . what can i do ? tell me , please . kim : kiddo , i wish you could , but this is between bob and me . barbara : you know , you might think that this is just between you and bob , but it 's not . you two are the cornerstone of our family . everyone is affected by what 's going on here . kim : well , it may be true , but i 'm not gon na cave in and go back to bob just to make everybody else happy . barbara : you mean everything to him . [ kim sobs ] kim : i used to think i did . barbara : so go to him . talk to him . kim : i ca n't . barbara : how about just for me now ? kim : bob and i have to handle this ourselves , and not just because everybody we love expects of us . [ scene_break ] alison : so , what happened at the party ? katie : i 'll tell you the details later . i was just wondering why you never came in . alison : well , uh , before i even got to the door , casey saw me , and he came out . we talked , and he did n't exactly make me feel welcome . katie : well , i 'm sure he was just tense with everything that was happening inside . alison : no . i do n't think it was about that . katie : it was a crazy day , trust me . i 'm sure casey did n't have a problem with you being there . i know chris did n't . alison : okay . why are you pushing this ? katie : well , it 's just all about peace . alison : peace . katie : yes , between you and casey , the hughes and the stewarts . bob and kim just want everybody to get along . alison : yeah . that would be nice . katie : casey still cares about you , and i know chris does , too , and i know you care about them , do n't you ? alison : of course . katie : so do n't give up on this . [ scene_break ] tom : you need to tell kim you 'll do whatever she wants . chris : definitely . you know how much mom loves it when you tell her she 's right . casey : yes , and it might help if you get her a present , like flowers or something . bob : you asked these guys over to give me marital advice ? tom : dad , we all care about you . bob : i know you 're the only one who 's happily married . gentlemen , how would you rate your long - term relationship with women ? chris : zero . casey : less than zero . bob : thank you . casey : mm - hmm . bob : listen , i really do n't need any more advice from you guys today , all right ? no offense . chris : wait a minute . this is crazy . dad , i know how much you and mom love each other , okay ? no matter how much you argue , no matter how much you disagree . bob : this is n't a little disagreement . she walked out on me . chris : yeah . and i remember when you walked out on mom , after your affair with susan . tom : chris ! chris : no , let me finish , please . look , i was young , dad , but i remember . bob : of course you do . yeah . i 'm sorry we put you through that . we tried to shield you from our problems . chris : look , i know you did , but you know what i remember most about it ? bob : what ? chris : the day you and mom decided to renew your vows . [ bob remembering ] bob : you are my life -- you , our love , our family , our marriage . i promise that i will continue to share all that i have , all that i am , all that i ever might be with you for the rest of our lives . kim : you are my life mate , my lover , my best , my ever friend , my dearest , dearest husband . i love you , and i promise to share the rest of my life , all of it , with you for as long as we live . [ scene_break ] tom : you two really have been through so much . bob : well , we were apart for a long while . it took a long time to find each other again , but we did . we were lucky . chris : yeah , and that ceremony , it really meant something to all of us , and especially the part you swore you 'd always deal with each other openly and honestly . bob : well , i have to the best of my ability . chris : is that what you 're doing now ? you and mom , you 're lying to yourselves . you 're lying to each other . unless you start telling the truth , dad , you could lose everything . bob : my son just called me a liar . perfect ending to a perfect day . chris : do you want me to explain ? bob : yes , i do , doctor . psychoanalyze me . what 's the basis of your diagnosis ? chris : you and mom , you 're both scared to death , and you wo n't admit it . bob : i see . what am i afraid of ? chris : getting old . casey : nice , nice . bob : how can i be afraid of something that 's already happened ? chris : that is the same reason that you do n't step down at the hospital , because you 're afraid that if you do for even a second , everything 's gon na slip away . bob : well , there 's nothing new about that . i 've felt that since i was 20 . tom : yeah , but you have something now that you did n't have when you were 20 . bob : kim . tom : no one can replace you in your relationship with kim . bob : well , what about kim ? what is she afraid of ? tom : it 's obvious , dad . losing you . bob : then why would she leave me ? casey : dude , when was the last time you told kim she was hot ? tom : you know , i really do n't think that 's the problem . casey : i do . i do . i 'm sorry . chris : no , no . bob : please . you two have had your turn . let 's hear what he has to say . casey : thank you . so , kim 's the one , right ? the great love of your life . there 's no other woman that exists for you . bob : yes . tom : just do n't let mom hear you say that . casey : so , how is she supposed to know that if you keep spending all your time , like , thinking about and being at the hospital ? i mean , if you 're not putting her first , how do you expect her to feel ? chris : well . tom : i 'm impressed . casey : yes . thank you . bob : okay . so what do i do ? tom : the same thing you did 25 years ago . woo her . [ bob remembering ] bob : we should have been together . i just want to show you how much i love you . marry me . marry me , kim . what 's your answer ? kim : you know what my answer is . bob : i want to hear you say it . kim : yes ! [ both laugh ] kim : yes , yes ! i want to marry you more than anything else in the world . [ scene_break ] bob : i already asked her to marry me tonight , and she turned me down flat . casey : well , this time , do n't ask your wife . ask the woman you love . [ scene_break ] katie : what happened between you and casey was unfortunate . alison : unfortunate ? katie , it was a train wreck . i mean , i basically dumped him at the altar . that 's kind of a big thing to ask someone to forgive , much less an entire family . katie : okay . here 's one thing i know for sure . there 's not one person in the hughes family who has n't made an enormous mistake once or twice or more than that . you are not the only person in this town who 's ever messed up , alison . alison : yeah . well , sometimes it feels like it . katie : you got to get passed this . you work with bob and chris and casey . you ca n't just avoid them . so you 're gon na have to try to get along . why do n't you come to the wedding ? alison : i 'll think about it . [ scene_break ] bob : may i come in ? barbara : i will be in my bedroom . bob : so , how are you ? kim : single , and you ? bob : the same . i 'm drowning in unsolicited advice . kim : was any of it any good ? bob : most of it was useless . tom suggested that i woo you . i kind of like that . kim : woo ? was that his word or yours ? bob : his , his . i think he was trying to , uh , cross the generational divide . kim : and that 's why you came ? bob : to woo you ? no , no . unless you 'd be receptive . kim : there 's something i 'd like a lot better . bob : hmm . i suppose another apology would be kind of weak and ordering you to go home would be a bad thing to -- kim : would probably really tick me off . bob : okay . then let 's just tell it like it is . kim : okay . bob : even the slightest chance of losing you shakes me up . whether it 's legal or illegal , the last 25 years with you in my heart have been the happiest and most fulfilling , and -- kim : and ? bob : i do n't want that to continue . kim : you do n't ? bob : no . i do n't want things to be the same with you . i want a new beginning . kim : with somebody else ? bob : what ? where did you get that ? kim : well , you just said you want a new beginning . bob : no , no . with you . kim : oh , oh . bob : i want you , just you , always you . you 're a part of me , the better part . kim : gosh . that 's a two - way street . you make me better , too . and i really love everything you 're saying , but i ca n't let you say anymore , because i ca n't let myself be sucked in by romance . bob : why not ? kim : because i need more than sweet words . i need you . oh , my god , i need years with you , and if you keep working the way you are , you 're gon na kill yourself , and then i 'm gon na be spending whatever is left of my life kicking myself because i settled for a promise and lost the man i love ! bob : well , i guess you 'd -- i guessed that you 'd be stubborn about this , so casey thought that i should give you a cool present . kim : that 's very sweet , but do you really think that presents are gon na solve our problems ? bob : no . but this might . it 's my resignation as chief of staff at the hospital , and i 'll turn it in to the board of directors tomorrow if you 'll marry me . what are you doing ? kim : i 'm not gon na let you give up your work . bob : what do you want ? kim : i want -- i want a dinner once in a while uninterrupted by telephone calls . i want date nights and weekend rendezvous and kisses and wooing . bob : well , make that mutual wooing and i 'm aboard . kim : oh , darling . years ago , 25 years ago , it seemed like the time that we had together was infinite , and we 're so much older now , and we know better . we just ca n't let what we have be taken for granted . i need you to understand that . bob : and i do . so , will you officially marry me tomorrow in front of our kids , family , our friends , at a sunrise ceremony like it was 25 years ago ? [ kim laughs ] kim : of course i will . of course . [ scene_break ] barbara : auntie kim , are you ready ? kim : you bet i am . ta - da ! bob : thank you . susan : bob , you know i 've always cared deeply about you . bob : well , it 's mutual , susan . susan : and since this might be our last chance and you just happen to be single at the moment -- bob : i love kim . susan : oh . bob : we 'll always be friends , but never more than that . lisa : nicely done , my friend . susan : i do n't know why i had to go through that . do you know how foolish i felt ? that man obviously wants to stay married to kim . lisa : well , look , if i had to hit on him , so did you . that was our deal . bob : what are you two talking about ? lisa : well , actually , we were testing you to see if you really wanted to be married to kim , and guess what ? you passed . susan : congratulations . we both hope that you and kim will be very , very happy .

[ kim remembering ] bob : and then i found out you were pregnant . why did n't you tell me that the child was mine ? kim : how could i do that to you ? how could i do that to my sister ? oh , god . i had done so much already . bob : so you 've carried this all these years alone . [ scene_break ] margo : so , if you 've already forgiven him , then why wo n't you marry him again ? kim : because i love him . barbara : i really do n't understand . kim : it 's his job . it 's gon na kill him . he leaves the house long before breakfast in the morning . he comes back long after i 've gone to sleep . i have tried everything . i 've tried sweet talk , i 've tried threats , i 've tried nagging , and nothing works . he simply wo n't slow down , and i will be damned if i 'm gon na stand around and watch my husband work himself into an early grave ! barbara : so instead you 're just gon na fight with him ? margo : kim , wo n't he work even harder if he does n't have you to come home to ? i mean , what if you lose him because you walked away , huh ? kim : i 'm praying that he loves me more than anything and that means more than the hospital and that somehow he 'll realize that and then he 'll come back to me tonight .

[ lisa remembering ] lisa : talking about the baby and things , it just makes me feel warm all over . bob : you 're pretty cute , you know that ? lisa : oh , oh . we 're so very , very lucky . bob : do you really mean that ? lisa : of course i do . bob : well , sometimes , mrs. hughes , to hear you talk , i wonder . [ scene_break ] lisa : oh , you know better than that . it could be our chance to rekindle what we had . bob : i 'm -- i 'm flattered that you feel that way . lisa : you -- you mean you do n't -- you 're not interested . bob : i 'd rather remember us fondly , because i -- i 'm a better man , a better father , a better husband because lisa miller once loved me . lisa : lisa miller can still love you . bob : but i love kim , whether she 's my wife or not . lisa : okay . so , i guess that 's your choice , is n't it ? bob : it is , and i 'm positive . lisa : okay . ca n't blame a girl for trying . [ scene_break ] barbara : let me help you . what can i do ? tell me , please . kim : kiddo , i wish you could , but this is between bob and me . barbara : you know , you might think that this is just between you and bob , but it 's not . you two are the cornerstone of our family . everyone is affected by what 's going on here . kim : well , it may be true , but i 'm not gon na cave in and go back to bob just to make everybody else happy . barbara : you mean everything to him .

[ scene_break ] katie : what happened between you and casey was unfortunate . alison : unfortunate ? katie , it was a train wreck . i mean , i basically dumped him at the altar . that 's kind of a big thing to ask someone to forgive , much less an entire family . katie : okay . here 's one thing i know for sure . there 's not one person in the hughes family who has n't made an enormous mistake once or twice or more than that . you are not the only person in this town who 's ever messed up , alison . alison : yeah . well , sometimes it feels like it . katie : you got to get passed this . you work with bob and chris and casey . you ca n't just avoid them . so you 're gon na have to try to get along . why do n't you come to the wedding ? alison : i 'll think about it . [ scene_break ] bob : may i come in ? barbara : i will be in my bedroom . bob : so , how are you ? kim : single , and you ? bob : the same . i 'm drowning in unsolicited advice . kim : was any of it any good ? bob : most of it was useless . tom suggested that i woo you . i kind of like that . kim : woo ? was that his word or yours ? bob : his , his . i think he was trying to , uh , cross the generational divide . kim : and that 's why you came ? bob : to woo you ? no , no . unless you 'd be receptive . kim : there 's something i 'd like a lot better . bob : hmm . i suppose another apology would be kind of weak and ordering you to go home would be a bad thing to -- kim : would probably really tick me off . bob : okay . then let 's just tell it like it is . kim : okay . bob : even the slightest chance of losing you shakes me up . whether it 's legal or illegal , the last 25 years with you in my heart have been the happiest and most fulfilling , and -- kim : and ? bob : i do n't want that to continue . kim : you do n't ? bob : no . i do n't want things to be the same with you . i want a new beginning . kim : with somebody else ? bob : what ? where did you get that ? kim : well , you just said you want a new beginning . bob : no , no . with you . kim : oh , oh . bob : i want you , just you , always you . you 're a part of me , the better part . kim : gosh . that 's a two - way street . you make me better , too . and i really love everything you 're saying , but i ca n't let you say anymore , because i ca n't let myself be sucked in by romance . bob : why not ? kim : because i need more than sweet words . i need you . oh , my god , i need years with you , and if you keep working the way you are , you 're gon na kill yourself , and then i 'm gon na be spending whatever is left of my life kicking myself because i settled for a promise and lost the man i love ! bob : well , i guess you 'd -- i guessed that you 'd be stubborn about this , so casey thought that i should give you a cool present . kim : that 's very sweet , but do you really think that presents are gon na solve our problems ? bob : no . but this might . it 's my resignation as chief of staff at the hospital , and i 'll turn it in to the board of directors tomorrow if you 'll marry me . what are you doing ? kim : i 'm not gon na let you give up your work . bob : what do you want ? kim : i want -- i want a dinner once in a while uninterrupted by telephone calls . i want date nights and weekend rendezvous and kisses and wooing . bob : well , make that mutual wooing and i 'm aboard . kim : oh , darling . years ago , 25 years ago , it seemed like the time that we had together was infinite , and we 're so much older now , and we know better . we just ca n't let what we have be taken for granted . i need you to understand that . bob : and i do . so , will you officially marry me tomorrow in front of our kids , family , our friends , at a sunrise ceremony like it was 25 years ago ?

sonny : [ exhales deeply ] franco : hey , sonny . how 's it going ? here to blow off some steam ? sonny : who the hell let you in here ? franco : oh , come on . we both know i can get in all kinds of places you think belong to you . sonny : okay , now get out of here . franco : why ca n't you just accept the fact that carly chose me over you ? me , a serial killer . that 's what gets you , is n't it ? that 's -- that 's the rub , right ? 'cause if she can overlook my true nature , then she 's probably doing the same with you . or maybe -- maybe she ca n't find the good in you because maybe there 's no good in you to begin with . sonny : shut up , franco . franco : at least i can blame the tumor . all you have to blame is your -- your temper and the sweet nothings that ava whispered in your ear right after she -- that 's all you got ? sonny : [ grunting ] shawn : sonny ? you all right , man ? sonny : yeah , fine . any news on ava ? shawn : unfortunately , no . i mean , jordan 's still stonewalling me as much as she possibly can . jordan : okay , would you just relax , okay ? i gave ava the medication . there 's nothing to worry about . rosalie : i have to tell you what 's been going on with your brother michael and kiki . you see , it 's -- it 's all because of my boss . mrs. clay is nothing like -- ava : morgan ! help . rosalie : oh , my god . who is that ? ava : i need help . morgan : it 's okay . it 's okay . it 's okay . it 's okay . it 's okay . [ cell phone rings ] jordan : oh , give it a rest , nurse santiago . geez . anna : oh , this is such a good idea . this is great . duke : yeah , i 'm surprised that i was able to get you away from your desk . you 've been working night and day . anna : i 've been swamped . we all have . i have n't been able to spend as much time with you as i wanted to . it 's really good . duke : quality time . [ both chuckle ] anna : this is nice -- a little lunch date , just the two of us . lucy : oh . hi . i am so sorry i 'm late . i do n't know why i 'm always late , but i 'm always late . hello . hi . bobbie : hello , my darling . carly : hi . so , to what do i owe this surprise ? bobbie : well , i 'm having lunch with scott . carly : oh . bobbie : i do n't suppose you 'd like to join us ? carly : oh , come on . you know me and scott ... bobbie : yeah , i know , but i really could use the moral support . i 'm worried that i 'll crack . carly : why ? what 's going on ? bobbie : well , i mean , i just feel so guilty , you know ? scott and i just made it official , and already , i 'm lying to him ... about how you cheated on his son . franco : you should feel guilty . scott : hey . what 's got you ticked off now ? nina : rosalie , please call me back . i need to talk to you . call me as soon as you get this , please . i think silas is on to me . sam : silas ? is everything okay ? what 's the matter ? did you get danny 's blood work back ? silas : no , but i 'll have them for you soon . sam : okay . well , then why are you calling ? silas : sam , i think you might have been right about nina . sam : what do you mean ? right about what ? silas : about how much she needed that wheelchair . nina : si has been asking me all these questions about how long i 've been able to walk and how long you knew , and , you know , if i had been hiding it -- you know , the walking -- longer than i said . so , we need to talk . we need to make sure our stories track . please call me . it does n't matter where you are . i 'll come to you . morgan : it 's okay . it 's okay . ava : [ groans ] morgan : i got you . nina : kiki 's mom -- i have to work on her . she 's disappeared . that baby is gon na pop any time . rosalie : i think i just found her . franco : i was just facetiming with josslyn . scott : josslyn ? she -- is n't she kind of young to have that , uh , tone with ? franco : well , let 's just say she had less than an enthusiastic reaction to the news of my engagement to her mother . scott : well , let me give you a piece of advice here . you know , i raised a little girl by myself , and , uh , you know , you catch more flies with honey . they think they 've got you wrapped around their finger , but , really , it 's the opposite . you get them to do what you want them to do . franco : oh . honey . scott : honey . franco : you do n't say . i 'll keep that in mind . what are you doing here , pops ? bobbie does n't work here anymore . scott : no , but you do . i 'm taking bobbie to lunch . i want you to join us . franco : well , thank you . but i 'd rather swallow glass . scott : oh , wait . hold on a second . what -- you 've got a problem with bobbie ? franco : you should have a problem with bobbie . you chose the wrong woman , dad . anna : it 's lovely that you could join us . lucy : oh , it -- it is . thank you . i - i just think it 's so kind of duke to ask me to join you . thank you so much . i know the reason you probably -- picture . you know what ? you two just look so darn dashing , i 've got to capture the moment in a picture . i 'm gon na take your picture . anna : please do n't . duke : she sounded so distraught on the telephone . i did n't know what else to do . anna : you invited her to a private lunch . duke : i thought it would be a way to take her mind off scott and maybe give her an outlet . lucy : wait a minute . okay . let 's do -- [ sighs ] bobbie . carly : i am so sorry that i had to drag you into this , all right ? but you were my only hope . can you ever forgive me ? bobbie : only if you swear that this is all in the past -- that you and sonny have been put to bed ... so to speak . sonny : jordan 's not one of my favorite people . she interfered when she should n't have . she stopped you from going after ava . shawn : yeah . sonny : but you know what ? she did tell you that the shooter was going after michael . so i owe you , and i owe her for keeping him safe . shawn : yeah , well , i still ca n't figure out why she would cross the lines to protect your son . sonny : there 's a lot about the jeromes that i 'm questioning lately . shawn : what do you mean ? sonny : well , sam told me a little while back that she thinks luke is working with them . shawn : luke spencer working with the jeromes ? sonny : i know it sounds crazy . but i 'll tell you what -- i told her to stay in the loop and figure out what 's going on . alexis : hi . i 'm alexis davis . i have an appointment with dr. morrucci to see if he 'll consult as an expert witness . uh , he did mention that he might be running late . julian : if you 'll excuse us ... alexis : you can be excused . i have business here . julian : this 'll only take a moment , unless you want to make a scene . alexis : i 'll be right back . julian : [ sighs ] alexis : what the hell are you doing ? julian : i have to talk to you . alexis : no , you do n't . we discussed this last night . i 'm done . we 're done . julian : if you would just let me explain . the situation is much more complicated than -- alexis : tell me more lies ? no , thank you . you have lied to me enough to last me a lifetime , so stop calling , stop texting , and spare me the tedium of deleting any communication from you . julian : what -- you think i 'm gon na make it that easy for you ? alexis : apparently not . you 're here . how did you know where i was , anyway ? julian : well , i followed you . alexis : you 're stalking me ? julian : if that 's what it takes . alexis : i guess i do n't have to point out that stalking is a criminal offense because you 're a mobster , and criminal offenses are what you do . julian : you know , it does n't have to be like this . alexis : no , it does n't , and if you had followed me last night , you would have seen that i was having a lovely time with ned . he 's the man i 'm seeing ... not you . sam : i 'm sorry . what ? silas : nina was walking last night . running would be more accurate . sam : running ? silas : she was chasing after franco at the hospital . i saw her . she did n't expect to see me . i could tell she did n't want me to know . sam : i - i really do n't know what to say . silas : you do n't have to say anything , sam . why do n't you let me say it , okay ? sam : okay . silas : nina told me she was only able to walk for about three weeks . i 'm starting to think it 's been a lot longer than that . nina : i know you 're upset with me . i know you are . i was pushing you to go after michael . i was n't concerned about your needs . i 'm so sorry . i just did n't think that you would be so shaken up by a lone gunman . come on . but i - i really would love to talk . we could talk about this . rosie , i need you . please . i need you . you 've been such a good friend to me -- such a great , great friend . and my list , all my plans . rosie , i ca n't -- i ca n't do any of this without you . morgan : ava , we have -- we have to go to the hospital . ava : no ! i ca n't . morgan : i - i - i know it 's dangerous , but it 's -- we do n't have a choice . ava : aah ! [ sighs ] sonny will see us . morgan : you know what ? if we do n't go , the baby could be hurt . you could be hurt , okay ? this is a risk that we have to take . nina : rosalie , i need you . please ? i really need you . let me tell you something . if appealing to your humanity does n't work , i 'm just gon na have to let the world know about your dirty little secret . that 's right . let 's see what your friend morgan thinks about you when he finds out everything that you 've been keeping from him . ava : i 'm not going to the hospital . aah ! morgan : you 're a nurse , right ? can you help her ? rosalie : i do n't know what 's wrong with her . ava : it 's -- they 're just cr - cramps . it happened before . i went to the hospital . they said it was nothing . it 's n - no big deal . i just -- i need my pills . that 's -- morgan : okay , but you 're really hurting , and maybe a doctor can help you out . ava : morgan , i do n't need a hospital . i do n't need a nurse . i just need the pills . sonny : this whole luke thing is another reason to get ava back so i can question her about any ties between julian and luke . shawn : you think she 'll tell you ? sonny : well , you know what ? you ask somebody enough , eventually , they 're gon na slip . but the thing is ... luke 's an old friend , and before i go after him , i need proof . shawn : is that why you 're pushing yourself so hard ? because of luke ? or because of carly ? carly : sonny and i are done . bobbie : more or less done than after the first time you got married ... or the second or the third or the fourth ? carly : that is not fair . bobbie : more or less done than when you cheated on jax with sonny ? carly : that was an emotional time , mom . come on . bobbie : it 's always an emotional time between you and sonny . carly : okay , well , not anymore . bobbie : okay , so , are you telling me that , from the moment franco proposed to you , absolutely nothing else happened between you and sonny ? carly : okay , well , there was this one unfortunate slip . bobbie : carly . [ sighs ] duke : uh , why do n't we go somewhere else ? anna : i do n't want to -- lucy : no . no , no , no . oh , pooh . we 're all adults -- at least , you two are . and , besides , i really -- i really want to take your picture . duke : i do n't think you need to put yourself through this . lucy : i am going to take a picture . get closer , please . i 'm taking a pic -- oh . oh , look at you . good . good . no , here . anna : you 'll have to excuse me . there 's a suspect that i need to talk to . lucy : come on . come back . anna : my eyes were closed ? lucy : yes . oh , i got it . duke : why do n't we take a look ? franco : lucy 's been in my corner since day one . bobbie -- not so much . lucy was always encouraging you to have a relationship with me . bobbie , on the other hand -- when heather went cuckoo for cocoa puffs and kidnapped carly , bobbie was the first one in line with a pitchfork . scott : okay . i chose bobbie . i want to be with bobbie . i 'm sorry you have misgivings towards her , but i will buy you a t - bone if you show up at the metro court for lunch . franco : i 'm not someone who changes his mind . scott : let me give you another piece of advice here , okay ? uh , you are gon na marry carly . that makes bobbie your mother - in - law . so , you should try and get along with her if you want to have a happy marriage . carly and bobbie were on the outs , but now they 're thick as thieves . i 'll see you . franco : yeah , thick as thieves . nina : there you are . franco : what ? nina : why is no one returning my phone calls ? franco : what are you doing standing up ? someone could see you . silas could see you . nina : he already has . sam : silas , i really do n't think that i should be the one that you 're talking to about nina . you know how i feel about her , and i do n't want to put any more doubts into your head . silas : they 're already there , sam . i keep replaying how i felt compelled to defend her the night we ended things . i was cruel . i was blind . and i realize now you were the one that was seeing things clearly . i just wanted you to know . sam : thank you . silas : that night , you asked me if i thought nina was exaggerating her condition in order to manipulate me . what if she 's been able to walk all along , sam ... and she just made up that story when i caught her ? sam : i do n't know . you know , it was just sort of a gut feeling i had . i could have been wildly off -- off base . except there 's ... silas : except what ? sam : i never got a chance to tell you . i was able to screen the , um -- the security footage from our conversation on the roof at the hospital , and there was definitely someone eavesdropping behind the door . silas : and you think that person was nina . julian : [ scoffing ] please . you 're not interested in ned ashton . you 're doing this to get back at me . alexis : you are a narcissist , are n't you ? you know what ? ned understands me in a way that you apparently will never be able to do . because ned has been with me through the best of times and the worst of times , and even when we hurt each other , even when we failed each other , we stayed connected . julian : and yet he was n't even an afterthought when you and i found each other again . alexis : ned is unique in my life . you are a type . julian : you do n't really mean that . alexis : oh , but i do . you see , i have a weakness for arrogant , deceitful , destructive men . my father was one , my brothers were two and three . then there was sonny corinthos and ric lansing and jerry jacks . and you , julian jerome , are just one in a long line of very bad choices , but guess what . i do n't have to choose you anymore . silas : why did n't you tell me what you saw on the security footage ? sam : i wanted to . i went to your apartment that night , and i - i knocked on your door . and i know i should n't have . i - i opened it , and i know i should n't have done that . silas : that was the night you walked in on nina and me . sam : yeah . silas : i still do n't even know how that happened . it 's just one of -- one of a lot of things that i 've had questions about . you and i had just ended things , and i was hurt . it just does n't make a lot of sense . but that does n't change the fact that i hurt you . i 'm sorry . i 'm sorry , sam . i 'm sorry for so many things . i know you 're on a case right now , and you 're out of town , but i was wondering if maybe when you got back , maybe we could talk about this . maybe there 's some way that i can make it right . maybe there 's some way i can make this up to you . nina : yeah , i had to tell silas something when he saw me running around this hub . franco : well , what were you thinking , running around the hub ? nina : [ scoffs ] what was i thinking ? i was going after you . you were so upset . you ran out of the room after you saw sonny and carly 's private sex show . bobbie : you did it in your own son 's apartment ? carly : i 'm not gon na have this conversation with you if you keep saying `` did it . `` we had sex . and michael was n't home . bobbie : oh , well , then i suppose that makes it perfectly acceptable . carly : i 'm already beating myself up enough about this . i do n't need you to pile it on . bobbie : honey , i 'm sorry . i 'm not trying to make you feel guilty . i just -- i just want you to face reality . i mean , if you 're already cheating on franco , what chance do the two of you possibly ever have to be happy ? carly : i told sonny that it could never happen again . sonny : so , carly insists she 's still gon na marry that freak . shawn : while she 's sneaking around with you ? sonny : well , she has put an end to everything . you know , so she says . shawn : you think she 'll come around ? sonny : do you know how many times carly has said that she does n't want to be anywhere near me , much less ... have sex with me ? you know how many times i 've said the same thing ? i 'll tell you one thing . it 's never over between me and carly . but i do want to end something . shawn : such as ? sonny : franco needs to be taken out once and for all . nina : i was worried about you . you were upset . franco : you thought i was gon na do something crazy . nina : i thought you were gon na do something crazy . franco : i really wanted to . i was on my way , and then i realized i have to save something for my wedding day . bobbie : you have been telling me that you were finished with sonny since before the first time you were married . so what 's different now ? carly : well , there are many reasons why i have to choose franco , and i think i finally got through to sonny . he knows it can not happen again . duke : i thought you were n't eating gluten . lucy : i 'm not . i 've sworn off of it . but gluten has a very calming effect on me , and seeing bobbie spencer over there is exactly the opposite of calming effect on me . duke : you should n't let her get to you like that . i mean , you may be misinterpreting that . like , for all you know , there could be trouble in paradise . it looks to me like bobbie 's pouring out her heart to carly . lucy : you really think so ? duke : well , i do n't see scott over there , do you ? bobbie : i 'm glad sonny came to his senses and accepted it . scott : uh , accepted what ? duke : uh - oh . looks like i spoke too soon . anna : you did n't answer my question . is n't this a little upscale for a heroin dealer ? jordan : alleged heroin dealer , commissioner . are you here to harass me or ... ? anna : i do n't know . i have n't decided . any news on ava jerome ? jordan : yeah , i was able to get her medication to her . anna : so you know where she is ? jordan : no . no , but she used an intermediary , morgan corinthos . anna : so he knows where ava 's hiding ? ava : aah ! it hurts . damn it . rosalie : the cramps come and go , right ? you just have to ride them out . morgan : here . here . have you ever seen a pregnant woman like this , or ... ? rosalie : obstetrics is not really my thing . ava : i 'm fine . [ panting ] morgan : are you sure these are gon na make you feel better ? ava : that 's what the -- nurse santiago said . morgan : all right . ava : [ sighs ] morgan : better ? ava : not yet . just give it a minute to kick in . [ panting ] who 's this ? morgan : just -- ro -- rosalie martinez . she 's just -- she 's a friend . ava : [ continues panting ] friend ? morgan : yeah . rosalie , this is -- this is -- ava : morgan ! rosalie : it 's okay , ms. jerome . i know who you are . you 're , uh , kind of famous , at least in port charles . ava : that 's lovely . well , it 's a pleasure , i 'm sure . now forget you ever saw me . julian : you and i share a daughter , a grandson . alexis : that 's true , and as long as sam wants a relationship with you , i will do nothing to discourage that . but you can make things a lot more comfortable for everyone involved if you will accept the fact that , aside from family , you and i do n't know each other . julian : but we do know each other . how can you act like none of this matters ? alexis : i can . i can focus on something -- someone that 's good for me , someone that makes me smile , someone that appreciates my ethics or remembers that i used to have them . julian : ned ashton -- he ca n't give you what i can . alexis : no , he ca n't . he ca n't give me the terror of coming home and finding that my house has exploded or -- or give me that sick feeling in the pit of my stomach that i 've been duped again . what ned can do is make me laugh . he can order a decent bottle of wine . he can take me danc -- and he 's a wonderful dancer . what ned can do for me is remind me that i am actually capable of enjoying my life . excuse me . sam : make it up to me ? look , that would be very sweet , but , i mean , you do n't have to do that . patrick : hey . so , i scoped out the -- sorry , i did n't know you were on the phone . sam : it 's okay . silas : is that drake ? sam : yeah . silas : it 's okay . i know you two are , uh ... i do n't want to keep you . all right , i just wanted to say ... i do n't know what i wanted to say . sam : you do n't have to hang up . silas : no , it 's okay , sam . i should , um -- i should probably get to work , all right ? just , um ... do me a favor and be safe , okay ? sam : okay . thanks for calling , silas . patrick : is that danny 's blood work ? sam : no , it had nothing to do with danny 's blood work . patrick : is he calling about the case ? sam : he was calling about nina . nina : you 're still going through with the wedding ? franco : all set for halloween . nina : what do you have planned ? franco : nina , the less you know , the better . nina : franco . franco : nina . nina : franco . franco : nina , you just spent two decades in a coma . i ca n't be responsible for you losing your freedom . the last thing i need is an accomplice . nina : an accomplice ? what -- are you gon na hurt someone ? franco : it 's not like i have n't done that before . nina : come on . you 're not -- you 're not really gon na hurt anybody ? franco : obviously , you do n't know me as well as you think you do . scott : what are you two talking about ? what did sonny accept ? carly : my marriage to franco . everyone knows that sonny is not my fiancé 's biggest fan . right , mom ? bobbie : mm . carly : thankfully , sonny came around . shawn : so , you think carly is marrying franco to keep him quiet ? sonny : yeah , i think that 's the real reason -- not that carly will admit it -- because carly says she 's been leaning in to her feelings for franco -- whatever the hell that means . look , however carly feels about franco , it does n't change what he is . the second they get in a fight , something sets him off , he 's gon na go running to michael , and he 's gon na tell him what i did to aj . shawn : i mean , why would n't he ? it 's the easiest way to hurt you and carly both . sonny : ca n't risk that . he 's got to be taken out . the only way to ensure his silence . shawn : not to mention freeing carly up to be with you again . nina : i know you . you 're one of the few people that i feel i 've , um , gotten to know since i 've come to port charles . inside and out -- i know you inside and out . uh , 'cause you -- you would never ruin anyone -- i mean , or hurt them . you would ruin them . you would n't -- you would n't hurt anybody ... franco : here . nina : ... intentionally . you would n't do that . franco : take it . nina : i do n't want to see sonny and carly have sex . franco : no . you google me . okay . forgive me . i - i 've lost my manners . you -- okay , google -- yeah , i 'm not really sure how it works , but you just type my name here in this window , and then you 're about to find out just how wrong you are . shawn : okay , if franco 's in the ground , and the wedding never happens , you 'd be free to pursue carly . sonny : well , that could be a fringe benefit . but the goal is to eliminate the leech so , you know , he can never hurt carly , michael , or anybody else that i love . shawn : like you wanted all along , right ? sonny : right . but here 's the problem -- if carly knew that i had a hand in this , she 'd never speak to me again . shawn : we 'll make it look like an accident . sonny : well , you know what ? i think something cleaner . you know , like , if he -- if he fell in the shower . shawn : [ chuckles ] sonny : okay ? or let 's say he was driving his car , and he went over a cliff , and it was just an accident . but then again , carly -- she 's too smart . she 's gon na know that i had ... shawn : she knows how you eliminate your enemies , right . sonny : so , here 's what i think -- what we need is someone to do the dirty work for us . nina : um , this is ... franco : twisted ? proof of my galloping insanity ? nina : you did these things ? you killed people ? franco : well , if it 's on the internet , it must be true . scott : well , it 's nice to hear that sonny 's not gon na cause any trouble , but somebody , uh , should remind him that people that live in glass houses should n't throw stones . his reputation is not exactly squeaky clean . carly : you 're not seriously comparing anything that sonny has done in his entire life to the crimes that franco committed before his tumor was removed ? scott : franco is a new man . sonny is still a criminal and belongs in a cage . carly : you know what ? ! bobbie : stop . stop . stop . that 's enough sonny talk for one day , okay ? i just want to have a nice lunch with my daughter and my boyfriend . lucy : oh , look at this . this is so sweet . what a lovely sight . you 're having lunch with your daughter and your ... boyfriend . do n't -- please -- let little old me stop you , please . rosalie : i 'm sorry ? ava : did i stutter ? forget ... you ... saw me . you know full well ... who i am and with whom i associate . i need to be sure -- i need to trust that you wo n't tell anybody that you saw me here . if not , i 'll have to make sure you stay silent . morgan : okay , okay . she 's just in a lot of pain . come on . i 'll handle this . come on . come on . all right . rosalie : what was that about ? morgan : she 's in hiding , okay ? people are trying to kill her , so i need you to promise me that you wo n't say anything . anna : do you think morgan 's gon na tip off sonny as to where ava is ? jordan : it 's doubtful . i think that morgan is on the outs with sonny again . anna : well , then we can have him followed to find out where she is . jordan : i do n't think it 's a good idea to know where ava 's location is until we , uh , make our move . has n't sonny flipped people in the pcpd before ? i mean , who 's to say he does n't have anybody on his payroll right now ? anna : yeah . okay . good point . i ca n't be seen to be fraternizing with a criminal . jordan : of course . got to say , this is , uh , better than a park bench . anna : indeed . i 'll just go back to my table . duke : uh , lucy , they 're ready to take our order . lucy : oh , well , that -- that 's okay . i - i just stopped by to say hi . um , hello , carly . carly : hi . lucy : hi , scott . scott : hiya , lucy . lucy : bobbie , you look so nice today . bobbie : thank you , lucy . you , too . lucy : you know , i 've been meaning to ask you about your hair . it 's just so red , you know , and i want to know about your colorist because it just almost seems like maybe , at one time , like , a long , long time ago , you were a natural redhead . bobbie : oh , well , that 's very nice of you to say . and i just want to tell you that i think that 's a lovely dress . i mean , most women of a certain age would find it a little tacky to go sleeveless , but i admire your courage . lucy : thank you . i think you 're the brave one , though . i mean , letting carly near your boyfriend after she slept with tony . wait -- was that your last husband ? carly : well , excuse me . what the hell do you think you 're doing ? bobbie : how is kevin , anyway ? i heard he moved out . gee , your lighthouse is so big . it must get awfully lonely living in there all by yourself . lucy : ohh ! duke : hey ! let 's get back to our table . lucy : i am not finished . i am not finished . duke : let 's not keep anna waiting . come on . scott : well , that ... escalated quickly . morgan : you ca n't tell anyone that ava 's here -- not even your boss . okay ? 'cause i do n't know if you know this , but ava and nina have a rivalry that goes way back . rosalie : yeah , i heard something about it . do n't worry . you can trust me . morgan : can i really , though ? because you told nina about my parents getting back together . rosalie : i 'm sorry . i - i did n't mean to go behind your back . it 's just franco and nina are friends . i thought she would want to know . morgan : okay , can you see why i 'm worried ? rosalie : i promise -- i am done doing anything for nina . i 've realized that my boss only looks out for one person -- herself . nina : so you 're a serial killer ? franco : reformed serial killer ... supposedly . nina : it said on the internet that you had a brain tumor and you were n't responsible for what you did . and you got that tumor taken out , right ? so you 're a different person . franco : you know what ? i take back what i said before . you ca n't believe everything you read on the internet . [ keys jingling ] silas : how 'd it break ? nina : and i went to grab it and stand , and that 's when i fell . nina : no , no , i got -- shh ! just ... [ grunts ] [ sighs ] ta - da . silas : [ sighs ] patrick : so , silas thinks that nina has been able to walk this whole time ? what -- did he call you to tell you that you were right all along ? sam : not in so many words , but he knows that i was n't paranoid to have doubts about her now that he has doubts of his own , but ... patrick : but what ? sam : i think he was looking for something else . patrick : like what ? sam : i do n't know . maybe absolution or ... patrick : or if there was a chance for you two . sam : yeah . maybe . patrick : i mean , what if you 're right ? what are you gon na tell silas ? is there a chance for you two ? sam : well , it -- it does n't really matter if i want to give silas another chance or not . anyway , i do n't think he was looking for that . i mean , after all , he 's still -- he -- he is married . patrick : that 's not an answer , sam . i do n't think that silas would call you if he did n't think that there was hope for you two . and let 's be honest -- if nina 's been lying this whole time , they 're not gon na be married for too much longer . sam : come on . that 's a lot to assume . patrick : [ sighs ] sam : [ sighs ] anyway ... i should probably get dressed if we 're gon na make , uh , this rendezvous with luke on time . silas : nina . i thought you were visiting your brother . what are you doing here ? nina : if appealing to your humanity does n't work , i 'm just gon na have to let the world know about your dirty little secret . let 's see what your friend morgan thinks about you when he finds out everything that you 've been keeping from him . morgan : are you feeling any better ? ava : no . i do n't know why the pill 's taking so long to kick in . [ exhales sharply ] morgan : okay , well , it says you can take another one if needed . ava : yeah . i suppose it ca n't hurt , right ? morgan : right . jordan : [ sighs ] lucy : i do not know why i continue to let bobbie spencer push all my buttons . i 'd like to push her really hard off a giant parapet . anna : oh , lucy , i realize this is just hyperbole , but , really , you do n't want to be discussing murder in front of the police commissioner . duke : well , lucy 's only just venting . anna : mm . duke : are n't you , lucy ? lucy : yes , i am . no , i 'm not . i do n't -- i do n't know what i 'm doing . i do n't know why i keep doing this . i really do want to kill them . i ca n't keep doing this and running into them everywhere . i ca n't do it . so , okay , this is what i 'm gon na do . [ inhales deeply ] i 'm leaving town . i 'm gon na move out . but where would i go ? i -- no one would take me in . aunt charlene . i 'm gon na move in with aunt charlene . she lives in a lovely old - persons ' condo in fort lauderdale . it 's a retirement community , but i could live there . i could do bridge and shuffleboard , and i - i hate bridge , and i hate shuffleboard . i do n't even know how to play them . duke : you 're not going anywhere except home , and i am going to drive you . anna : we did n't order . duke : i know . sorry , darling . i ca n't let lucy embarrass herself again . so i 'm gon na get her out of here . i 'll see you later . anna : do you really have ... bobbie : well , with that out of the way , this 'll be nice -- just the three of us for lunch . carly : mm . scott : well , i - i did invite franco . carly : really ? scott : i do n't know if he 's gon na make it or not , though . bobbie : oh , why not ? franco : i , uh -- i had a class to teach . but i hope that there 's still room for me . sonny : there 's a long list of people with motive to kill franco . we just have to find someone to pin it on . carly : this is a nice surprise . franco : oh . carly : what about your class ? franco : uh , i rearranged my schedule . there should n't be anything in my life more important than family , right ? and it 'll give us a chance to make some wedding plans . i want everything to be perfect on my bride 's special day . [ next_on ] lulu : hey , what 's wrong ? maxie : nathan . nathan : ( to dante ) it did n't work . not even close . sam : ( to patrick ) nina still managed to destroy my relationship . nina : ( to silas ) i want you now , and i 'm not taking no for an answer . elizabeth : ( to jason ) there might be another way to find out who you are . | while sonny is punching the heavy bag at the gym , he imagines that he is punching franco . julian follows alexis to general hospital and tells her that they have to talk . she tells him that she is done with him and that she is seeing ned now . sonny tells shawn that jordan crossed a line by protecting ava , but that he owes her one for protecting michael . he reveals that sam suspects that luke spencer is working with the jeromes . sonny tells shawn that he thinks the only reason carly is marrying franco is to keep him quiet , but the only way to truly ensure his silence is to take him out . he says the only problem is that carly ca n't know that he had anything to do with franco 's demise so they need to find someone else to pin it on . | <s>[INST] sonny : [ exhales deeply ] franco : hey , sonny . how 's it going ? here to blow off some steam ? sonny : who the hell let you in here ? franco : oh , come on . we both know i can get in all kinds of places you think belong to you . sonny : okay , now get out of here . franco : why ca n't you just accept the fact that carly chose me over you ? me , a serial killer . that 's what gets you , is n't it ? that 's -- that 's the rub , right ? 'cause if she can overlook my true nature , then she 's probably doing the same with you . or maybe -- maybe she ca n't find the good in you because maybe there 's no good in you to begin with . sonny : shut up , franco . franco : at least i can blame the tumor . all you have to blame is your -- your temper and the sweet nothings that ava whispered in your ear right after she -- that 's all you got ? sonny : [ grunting ] shawn : sonny ? you all right , man ? sonny : yeah , fine . any news on ava ? shawn : unfortunately , no . i mean , jordan 's still stonewalling me as much as she possibly can . jordan : okay , would you just relax , okay ? i gave ava the medication . there 's nothing to worry about . rosalie : i have to tell you what 's been going on with your brother michael and kiki . you see , it 's -- it 's all because of my boss . mrs. clay is nothing like -- ava : morgan ! help . rosalie : oh , my god . who is that ? ava : i need help . morgan : it 's okay . it 's okay . it 's okay . it 's okay . it 's okay . [ cell phone rings ] jordan : oh , give it a rest , nurse santiago . geez . anna : oh , this is such a good idea . this is great . duke : yeah , i 'm surprised that i was able to get you away from your desk . you 've been working night and day . anna : i 've been swamped . we all have . i have n't been able to spend as much time with you as i wanted to . it 's really good . duke : quality time . [ both chuckle ] anna : this is nice -- a little lunch date , just the two of us . lucy : oh . hi . i am so sorry i 'm late . i do n't know why i 'm always late , but i 'm always late . hello . hi . bobbie : hello , my darling . carly : hi . so , to what do i owe this surprise ? bobbie : well , i 'm having lunch with scott . carly : oh . bobbie : i do n't suppose you 'd like to join us ? carly : oh , come on . you know me and scott ... bobbie : yeah , i know , but i really could use the moral support . i 'm worried that i 'll crack . carly : why ? what 's going on ? bobbie : well , i mean , i just feel so guilty , you know ? scott and i just made it official , and already , i 'm lying to him ... about how you cheated on his son . franco : you should feel guilty . scott : hey . what 's got you ticked off now ? nina : rosalie , please call me back . i need to talk to you . call me as soon as you get this , please . i think silas is on to me . sam : silas ? is everything okay ? what 's the matter ? did you get danny 's blood work back ? silas : no , but i 'll have them for you soon . sam : okay . well , then why are you calling ? silas : sam , i think you might have been right about nina . sam : what do you mean ? right about what ? silas : about how much she needed that wheelchair . nina : si has been asking me all these questions about how long i 've been able to walk and how long you knew , and , you know , if i had been hiding it -- you know , the walking -- longer than i said . so , we need to talk . we need to make sure our stories track . please call me . it does n't matter where you are . i 'll come to you . morgan : it 's okay . it 's okay . ava : [ groans ] morgan : i got you . nina : kiki 's mom -- i have to work on her . she 's disappeared . that baby is gon na pop any time . rosalie : i think i just found her . franco : i was just facetiming with josslyn . scott : josslyn ? she -- is n't she kind of young to have that , uh , tone with ? franco : well , let 's just say she had less than an enthusiastic reaction to the news of my engagement to her mother . scott : well , let me give you a piece of advice here . you know , i raised a little girl by myself , and , uh , you know , you catch more flies with honey . they think they 've got you wrapped around their finger , but , really , it 's the opposite . you get them to do what you want them to do . franco : oh . honey . scott : honey . franco : you do n't say . i 'll keep that in mind . what are you doing here , pops ? bobbie does n't work here anymore . scott : no , but you do . i 'm taking bobbie to lunch . i want you to join us . franco : well , thank you . but i 'd rather swallow glass . scott : oh , wait . hold on a second . what -- you 've got a problem with bobbie ? franco : you should have a problem with bobbie . you chose the wrong woman , dad . anna : it 's lovely that you could join us . lucy : oh , it -- it is . thank you . i - i just think it 's so kind of duke to ask me to join you . thank you so much . i know the reason you probably -- picture . you know what ? you two just look so darn dashing , i 've got to capture the moment in a picture . i 'm gon na take your picture . anna : please do n't . duke : she sounded so distraught on the telephone . i did n't know what else to do . anna : you invited her to a private lunch . duke : i thought it would be a way to take her mind off scott and maybe give her an outlet . lucy : wait a minute . okay . let 's do -- [ sighs ] bobbie . carly : i am so sorry that i had to drag you into this , all right ? but you were my only hope . can you ever forgive me ? bobbie : only if you swear that this is all in the past -- that you and sonny have been put to bed ... so to speak . sonny : jordan 's not one of my favorite people . she interfered when she should n't have . she stopped you from going after ava . shawn : yeah . sonny : but you know what ? she did tell you that the shooter was going after michael . so i owe you , and i owe her for keeping him safe . shawn : yeah , well , i still ca n't figure out why she would cross the lines to protect your son . sonny : there 's a lot about the jeromes that i 'm questioning lately . shawn : what do you mean ? sonny : well , sam told me a little while back that she thinks luke is working with them . shawn : luke spencer working with the jeromes ? sonny : i know it sounds crazy . but i 'll tell you what -- i told her to stay in the loop and figure out what 's going on . alexis : hi . i 'm alexis davis . i have an appointment with dr. morrucci to see if he 'll consult as an expert witness . uh , he did mention that he might be running late . julian : if you 'll excuse us ... alexis : you can be excused . i have business here . julian : this 'll only take a moment , unless you want to make a scene . alexis : i 'll be right back . julian : [ sighs ] alexis : what the hell are you doing ? julian : i have to talk to you . alexis : no , you do n't . we discussed this last night . i 'm done . we 're done . julian : if you would just let me explain . the situation is much more complicated than -- alexis : tell me more lies ? no , thank you . you have lied to me enough to last me a lifetime , so stop calling , stop texting , and spare me the tedium of deleting any communication from you . julian : what -- you think i 'm gon na make it that easy for you ? alexis : apparently not . you 're here . how did you know where i was , anyway ? julian : well , i followed you . alexis : you 're stalking me ? julian : if that 's what it takes . alexis : i guess i do n't have to point out that stalking is a criminal offense because you 're a mobster , and criminal offenses are what you do . julian : you know , it does n't have to be like this . alexis : no , it does n't , and if you had followed me last night , you would have seen that i was having a lovely time with ned . he 's the man i 'm seeing ... not you . sam : i 'm sorry . what ? silas : nina was walking last night . running would be more accurate . sam : running ? silas : she was chasing after franco at the hospital . i saw her . she did n't expect to see me . i could tell she did n't want me to know . sam : i - i really do n't know what to say . silas : you do n't have to say anything , sam . why do n't you let me say it , okay ? sam : okay . silas : nina told me she was only able to walk for about three weeks . i 'm starting to think it 's been a lot longer than that . nina : i know you 're upset with me . i know you are . i was pushing you to go after michael . i was n't concerned about your needs . i 'm so sorry . i just did n't think that you would be so shaken up by a lone gunman . come on . but i - i really would love to talk . we could talk about this . rosie , i need you . please . i need you . you 've been such a good friend to me -- such a great , great friend . and my list , all my plans . rosie , i ca n't -- i ca n't do any of this without you . morgan : ava , we have -- we have to go to the hospital . ava : no ! i ca n't . morgan : i - i - i know it 's dangerous , but it 's -- we do n't have a choice . ava : aah ! [ sighs ] sonny will see us . morgan : you know what ? if we do n't go , the baby could be hurt . you could be hurt , okay ? this is a risk that we have to take . nina : rosalie , i need you . please ? i really need you . let me tell you something . if appealing to your humanity does n't work , i 'm just gon na have to let the world know about your dirty little secret . that 's right . let 's see what your friend morgan thinks about you when he finds out everything that you 've been keeping from him . ava : i 'm not going to the hospital . aah ! morgan : you 're a nurse , right ? can you help her ? rosalie : i do n't know what 's wrong with her . ava : it 's -- they 're just cr - cramps . it happened before . i went to the hospital . they said it was nothing . it 's n - no big deal . i just -- i need my pills . that 's -- morgan : okay , but you 're really hurting , and maybe a doctor can help you out . ava : morgan , i do n't need a hospital . i do n't need a nurse . i just need the pills . sonny : this whole luke thing is another reason to get ava back so i can question her about any ties between julian and luke . shawn : you think she 'll tell you ? sonny : well , you know what ? you ask somebody enough , eventually , they 're gon na slip . but the thing is ... luke 's an old friend , and before i go after him , i need proof . shawn : is that why you 're pushing yourself so hard ? because of luke ? or because of carly ? carly : sonny and i are done . bobbie : more or less done than after the first time you got married ... or the second or the third or the fourth ? carly : that is not fair . bobbie : more or less done than when you cheated on jax with sonny ? carly : that was an emotional time , mom . come on . bobbie : it 's always an emotional time between you and sonny . carly : okay , well , not anymore . bobbie : okay , so , are you telling me that , from the moment franco proposed to you , absolutely nothing else happened between you and sonny ? carly : okay , well , there was this one unfortunate slip . bobbie : carly . [ sighs ] duke : uh , why do n't we go somewhere else ? anna : i do n't want to -- lucy : no . no , no , no . oh , pooh . we 're all adults -- at least , you two are . and , besides , i really -- i really want to take your picture . duke : i do n't think you need to put yourself through this . lucy : i am going to take a picture . get closer , please . i 'm taking a pic -- oh . oh , look at you . good . good . no , here . anna : you 'll have to excuse me . there 's a suspect that i need to talk to . lucy : come on . come back . anna : my eyes were closed ? lucy : yes . oh , i got it . duke : why do n't we take a look ? franco : lucy 's been in my corner since day one . bobbie -- not so much . lucy was always encouraging you to have a relationship with me . bobbie , on the other hand -- when heather went cuckoo for cocoa puffs and kidnapped carly , bobbie was the first one in line with a pitchfork . scott : okay . i chose bobbie . i want to be with bobbie . i 'm sorry you have misgivings towards her , but i will buy you a t - bone if you show up at the metro court for lunch . franco : i 'm not someone who changes his mind . scott : let me give you another piece of advice here , okay ? uh , you are gon na marry carly . that makes bobbie your mother - in - law . so , you should try and get along with her if you want to have a happy marriage . carly and bobbie were on the outs , but now they 're thick as thieves . i 'll see you . franco : yeah , thick as thieves . nina : there you are . franco : what ? nina : why is no one returning my phone calls ? franco : what are you doing standing up ? someone could see you . silas could see you . nina : he already has . sam : silas , i really do n't think that i should be the one that you 're talking to about nina . you know how i feel about her , and i do n't want to put any more doubts into your head . silas : they 're already there , sam . i keep replaying how i felt compelled to defend her the night we ended things . i was cruel . i was blind . and i realize now you were the one that was seeing things clearly . i just wanted you to know . sam : thank you . silas : that night , you asked me if i thought nina was exaggerating her condition in order to manipulate me . what if she 's been able to walk all along , sam ... and she just made up that story when i caught her ? sam : i do n't know . you know , it was just sort of a gut feeling i had . i could have been wildly off -- off base . except there 's ... silas : except what ? sam : i never got a chance to tell you . i was able to screen the , um -- the security footage from our conversation on the roof at the hospital , and there was definitely someone eavesdropping behind the door . silas : and you think that person was nina . julian : [ scoffing ] please . you 're not interested in ned ashton . you 're doing this to get back at me . alexis : you are a narcissist , are n't you ? you know what ? ned understands me in a way that you apparently will never be able to do . because ned has been with me through the best of times and the worst of times , and even when we hurt each other , even when we failed each other , we stayed connected . julian : and yet he was n't even an afterthought when you and i found each other again . alexis : ned is unique in my life . you are a type . julian : you do n't really mean that . alexis : oh , but i do . you see , i have a weakness for arrogant , deceitful , destructive men . my father was one , my brothers were two and three . then there was sonny corinthos and ric lansing and jerry jacks . and you , julian jerome , are just one in a long line of very bad choices , but guess what . i do n't have to choose you anymore . silas : why did n't you tell me what you saw on the security footage ? sam : i wanted to . i went to your apartment that night , and i - i knocked on your door . and i know i should n't have . i - i opened it , and i know i should n't have done that . silas : that was the night you walked in on nina and me . sam : yeah . silas : i still do n't even know how that happened . it 's just one of -- one of a lot of things that i 've had questions about . you and i had just ended things , and i was hurt . it just does n't make a lot of sense . but that does n't change the fact that i hurt you . i 'm sorry . i 'm sorry , sam . i 'm sorry for so many things . i know you 're on a case right now , and you 're out of town , but i was wondering if maybe when you got back , maybe we could talk about this . maybe there 's some way that i can make it right . maybe there 's some way i can make this up to you . nina : yeah , i had to tell silas something when he saw me running around this hub . franco : well , what were you thinking , running around the hub ? nina : [ scoffs ] what was i thinking ? i was going after you . you were so upset . you ran out of the room after you saw sonny and carly 's private sex show . bobbie : you did it in your own son 's apartment ? carly : i 'm not gon na have this conversation with you if you keep saying `` did it . `` we had sex . and michael was n't home . bobbie : oh , well , then i suppose that makes it perfectly acceptable . carly : i 'm already beating myself up enough about this . i do n't need you to pile it on . bobbie : honey , i 'm sorry . i 'm not trying to make you feel guilty . i just -- i just want you to face reality . i mean , if you 're already cheating on franco , what chance do the two of you possibly ever have to be happy ? carly : i told sonny that it could never happen again . sonny : so , carly insists she 's still gon na marry that freak . shawn : while she 's sneaking around with you ? sonny : well , she has put an end to everything . you know , so she says . shawn : you think she 'll come around ? sonny : do you know how many times carly has said that she does n't want to be anywhere near me , much less ... have sex with me ? you know how many times i 've said the same thing ? i 'll tell you one thing . it 's never over between me and carly . but i do want to end something . shawn : such as ? sonny : franco needs to be taken out once and for all . nina : i was worried about you . you were upset . franco : you thought i was gon na do something crazy . nina : i thought you were gon na do something crazy . franco : i really wanted to . i was on my way , and then i realized i have to save something for my wedding day . bobbie : you have been telling me that you were finished with sonny since before the first time you were married . so what 's different now ? carly : well , there are many reasons why i have to choose franco , and i think i finally got through to sonny . he knows it can not happen again . duke : i thought you were n't eating gluten . lucy : i 'm not . i 've sworn off of it . but gluten has a very calming effect on me , and seeing bobbie spencer over there is exactly the opposite of calming effect on me . duke : you should n't let her get to you like that . i mean , you may be misinterpreting that . like , for all you know , there could be trouble in paradise . it looks to me like bobbie 's pouring out her heart to carly . lucy : you really think so ? duke : well , i do n't see scott over there , do you ? bobbie : i 'm glad sonny came to his senses and accepted it . scott : uh , accepted what ? duke : uh - oh . looks like i spoke too soon . anna : you did n't answer my question . is n't this a little upscale for a heroin dealer ? jordan : alleged heroin dealer , commissioner . are you here to harass me or ... ? anna : i do n't know . i have n't decided . any news on ava jerome ? jordan : yeah , i was able to get her medication to her . anna : so you know where she is ? jordan : no . no , but she used an intermediary , morgan corinthos . anna : so he knows where ava 's hiding ? ava : aah ! it hurts . damn it . rosalie : the cramps come and go , right ? you just have to ride them out . morgan : here . here . have you ever seen a pregnant woman like this , or ... ? rosalie : obstetrics is not really my thing . ava : i 'm fine . [ panting ] morgan : are you sure these are gon na make you feel better ? ava : that 's what the -- nurse santiago said . morgan : all right . ava : [ sighs ] morgan : better ? ava : not yet . just give it a minute to kick in . [ panting ] who 's this ? morgan : just -- ro -- rosalie martinez . she 's just -- she 's a friend . ava : [ continues panting ] friend ? morgan : yeah . rosalie , this is -- this is -- ava : morgan ! rosalie : it 's okay , ms. jerome . i know who you are . you 're , uh , kind of famous , at least in port charles . ava : that 's lovely . well , it 's a pleasure , i 'm sure . now forget you ever saw me . julian : you and i share a daughter , a grandson . alexis : that 's true , and as long as sam wants a relationship with you , i will do nothing to discourage that . but you can make things a lot more comfortable for everyone involved if you will accept the fact that , aside from family , you and i do n't know each other . julian : but we do know each other . how can you act like none of this matters ? alexis : i can . i can focus on something -- someone that 's good for me , someone that makes me smile , someone that appreciates my ethics or remembers that i used to have them . julian : ned ashton -- he ca n't give you what i can . alexis : no , he ca n't . he ca n't give me the terror of coming home and finding that my house has exploded or -- or give me that sick feeling in the pit of my stomach that i 've been duped again . what ned can do is make me laugh . he can order a decent bottle of wine . he can take me danc -- and he 's a wonderful dancer . what ned can do for me is remind me that i am actually capable of enjoying my life . excuse me . sam : make it up to me ? look , that would be very sweet , but , i mean , you do n't have to do that . patrick : hey . so , i scoped out the -- sorry , i did n't know you were on the phone . sam : it 's okay . silas : is that drake ? sam : yeah . silas : it 's okay . i know you two are , uh ... i do n't want to keep you . all right , i just wanted to say ... i do n't know what i wanted to say . sam : you do n't have to hang up . silas : no , it 's okay , sam . i should , um -- i should probably get to work , all right ? just , um ... do me a favor and be safe , okay ? sam : okay . thanks for calling , silas . patrick : is that danny 's blood work ? sam : no , it had nothing to do with danny 's blood work . patrick : is he calling about the case ? sam : he was calling about nina . nina : you 're still going through with the wedding ? franco : all set for halloween . nina : what do you have planned ? franco : nina , the less you know , the better . nina : franco . franco : nina . nina : franco . franco : nina , you just spent two decades in a coma . i ca n't be responsible for you losing your freedom . the last thing i need is an accomplice . nina : an accomplice ? what -- are you gon na hurt someone ? franco : it 's not like i have n't done that before . nina : come on . you 're not -- you 're not really gon na hurt anybody ? franco : obviously , you do n't know me as well as you think you do . scott : what are you two talking about ? what did sonny accept ? carly : my marriage to franco . everyone knows that sonny is not my fiancé 's biggest fan . right , mom ? bobbie : mm . carly : thankfully , sonny came around . shawn : so , you think carly is marrying franco to keep him quiet ? sonny : yeah , i think that 's the real reason -- not that carly will admit it -- because carly says she 's been leaning in to her feelings for franco -- whatever the hell that means . look , however carly feels about franco , it does n't change what he is . the second they get in a fight , something sets him off , he 's gon na go running to michael , and he 's gon na tell him what i did to aj . shawn : i mean , why would n't he ? it 's the easiest way to hurt you and carly both . sonny : ca n't risk that . he 's got to be taken out . the only way to ensure his silence . shawn : not to mention freeing carly up to be with you again . nina : i know you . you 're one of the few people that i feel i 've , um , gotten to know since i 've come to port charles . inside and out -- i know you inside and out . uh , 'cause you -- you would never ruin anyone -- i mean , or hurt them . you would ruin them . you would n't -- you would n't hurt anybody ... franco : here . nina : ... intentionally . you would n't do that . franco : take it . nina : i do n't want to see sonny and carly have sex . franco : no . you google me . okay . forgive me . i - i 've lost my manners . you -- okay , google -- yeah , i 'm not really sure how it works , but you just type my name here in this window , and then you 're about to find out just how wrong you are . shawn : okay , if franco 's in the ground , and the wedding never happens , you 'd be free to pursue carly . sonny : well , that could be a fringe benefit . but the goal is to eliminate the leech so , you know , he can never hurt carly , michael , or anybody else that i love . shawn : like you wanted all along , right ? sonny : right . but here 's the problem -- if carly knew that i had a hand in this , she 'd never speak to me again . shawn : we 'll make it look like an accident . sonny : well , you know what ? i think something cleaner . you know , like , if he -- if he fell in the shower . shawn : [ chuckles ] sonny : okay ? or let 's say he was driving his car , and he went over a cliff , and it was just an accident . but then again , carly -- she 's too smart . she 's gon na know that i had ... shawn : she knows how you eliminate your enemies , right . sonny : so , here 's what i think -- what we need is someone to do the dirty work for us . nina : um , this is ... franco : twisted ? proof of my galloping insanity ? nina : you did these things ? you killed people ? franco : well , if it 's on the internet , it must be true . scott : well , it 's nice to hear that sonny 's not gon na cause any trouble , but somebody , uh , should remind him that people that live in glass houses should n't throw stones . his reputation is not exactly squeaky clean . carly : you 're not seriously comparing anything that sonny has done in his entire life to the crimes that franco committed before his tumor was removed ? scott : franco is a new man . sonny is still a criminal and belongs in a cage . carly : you know what ? ! bobbie : stop . stop . stop . that 's enough sonny talk for one day , okay ? i just want to have a nice lunch with my daughter and my boyfriend . lucy : oh , look at this . this is so sweet . what a lovely sight . you 're having lunch with your daughter and your ... boyfriend . do n't -- please -- let little old me stop you , please . rosalie : i 'm sorry ? ava : did i stutter ? forget ... you ... saw me . you know full well ... who i am and with whom i associate . i need to be sure -- i need to trust that you wo n't tell anybody that you saw me here . if not , i 'll have to make sure you stay silent . morgan : okay , okay . she 's just in a lot of pain . come on . i 'll handle this . come on . come on . all right . rosalie : what was that about ? morgan : she 's in hiding , okay ? people are trying to kill her , so i need you to promise me that you wo n't say anything . anna : do you think morgan 's gon na tip off sonny as to where ava is ? jordan : it 's doubtful . i think that morgan is on the outs with sonny again . anna : well , then we can have him followed to find out where she is . jordan : i do n't think it 's a good idea to know where ava 's location is until we , uh , make our move . has n't sonny flipped people in the pcpd before ? i mean , who 's to say he does n't have anybody on his payroll right now ? anna : yeah . okay . good point . i ca n't be seen to be fraternizing with a criminal . jordan : of course . got to say , this is , uh , better than a park bench . anna : indeed . i 'll just go back to my table . duke : uh , lucy , they 're ready to take our order . lucy : oh , well , that -- that 's okay . i - i just stopped by to say hi . um , hello , carly . carly : hi . lucy : hi , scott . scott : hiya , lucy . lucy : bobbie , you look so nice today . bobbie : thank you , lucy . you , too . lucy : you know , i 've been meaning to ask you about your hair . it 's just so red , you know , and i want to know about your colorist because it just almost seems like maybe , at one time , like , a long , long time ago , you were a natural redhead . bobbie : oh , well , that 's very nice of you to say . and i just want to tell you that i think that 's a lovely dress . i mean , most women of a certain age would find it a little tacky to go sleeveless , but i admire your courage . lucy : thank you . i think you 're the brave one , though . i mean , letting carly near your boyfriend after she slept with tony . wait -- was that your last husband ? carly : well , excuse me . what the hell do you think you 're doing ? bobbie : how is kevin , anyway ? i heard he moved out . gee , your lighthouse is so big . it must get awfully lonely living in there all by yourself . lucy : ohh ! duke : hey ! let 's get back to our table . lucy : i am not finished . i am not finished . duke : let 's not keep anna waiting . come on . scott : well , that ... escalated quickly . morgan : you ca n't tell anyone that ava 's here -- not even your boss . okay ? 'cause i do n't know if you know this , but ava and nina have a rivalry that goes way back . rosalie : yeah , i heard something about it . do n't worry . you can trust me . morgan : can i really , though ? because you told nina about my parents getting back together . rosalie : i 'm sorry . i - i did n't mean to go behind your back . it 's just franco and nina are friends . i thought she would want to know . morgan : okay , can you see why i 'm worried ? rosalie : i promise -- i am done doing anything for nina . i 've realized that my boss only looks out for one person -- herself . nina : so you 're a serial killer ? franco : reformed serial killer ... supposedly . nina : it said on the internet that you had a brain tumor and you were n't responsible for what you did . and you got that tumor taken out , right ? so you 're a different person . franco : you know what ? i take back what i said before . you ca n't believe everything you read on the internet .

[ both laugh ] victor : i sincerely hope you 're not jealous of kate because i 've told you over and over again , there 's no reason to be . maggie : i 'm not questioning your commitment to our marriage . but your judgment on the other hand ? victor : she cares about titan . maggie : kate cares about kate . i 'm warning you , victor , you 're letting the fox into the hen house . victor : i know who and what kate is . maggie : do you ? or do i need to remind you that she is the most deceitful , predatory witch that ever darkened your doorstep . victor : maggie -- maggie : kate roberts dimera has absolutely no regard for anyone but herself and her own selfish whims . she is a poison to this town . she deserves to die penniless and alone with her regrets . kate : [ clapping ] [ soft dramatic music ] kate : go ahead . do n't stop on my account . i think you were , what , `` predatory witch , `` were n't you ? maggie : my husband knows what i think of you . and most of salem agrees with me . victor : something i can do for you , kate ? kate : yes , contract details . luckily i had a second copy because brady tore up the one that i was working on . maggie : good for him . kate : you can go now , maggie . i 'm sure you have something to do -- baking cookies or poking your nose into other people 's business . maggie : well , i may not be a part of titan , but this is my family , and you 're a threat . kate : well , victor does n't think so . maggie : i 'm gon na keep an eye on you , kate . victor may have forgiven you , but i haven't . and i will never trust you . kate : well , that 's a shame because i am here to make titan successful again and to honor our son 's legacy . maggie : i do n't believe that for a second . you want something more , and it 's just gon na be a matter of time before i figure out what it is . gabi : i swear i thought brady just wanted to protect chloe . i never thought he wanted to do anything sneaky . you believe me , chloe , do n't you ? chloe : well , yeah , brady has lied to me before , so he 's certainly not above it . gabi : i never , ever thought he wanted to trick you . if that ever happened to me , i 'd be really upset as well . stefan : okay , gabi , you have your button . for the last time , go . gabi : well , you know , you told me you were gon na walk me out so we could finish our business discussion . stefan : fine . [ suspenseful music ] hey . thank you for not telling chloe we slept together . gabi : are you kidding me ? i do n't want anyone to know that we slept together . it 's humiliating . stefan : you did n't seem to mind it when we were in bed . gabi : neither did you . stefan : yeah , well , uh , it 's not happening again . gabi : damn right it 's not . like i said , we both needed to get that out of our system , and now that it 's gone , there 's nothing left between us , right ? stefan : right . gabi : chloe 's waiting for you . will : so if the tumor 's benign , what does that mean ? rex : well , no chemotherapy for starters . will : okay , that 's -- what about the symptoms i 've been experiencing ? rex : you mean the seizure ? sonny : well , and just now at the pub , will kind of had a -- like an angry outburst . sarah : you think that the tumor is starting to affect your behavior ? will : [ sighs ] yeah , and i do n't want that to keep happening . i do n't wan na snap in front of ari . rex : no , that 's totally understandable , but , as you know , i could n't remove the tumor in its entirety . it 's size and location -- it was just too risky , too dangerous . but we believe that we can shrink it . will : how ? sarah : well , that 's where it gets a bit tricky . not many things have the power that food has . will : `` tricky `` is not a word that i would prefer to hear when it comes to the tumor in my head . sarah : right , well , we have a lot of options as far as treatments . will : okay , what kind of options ? sarah : well , we 'll start with radiation , which i 'm sure you know is not exactly the most pleasant experience . sonny : and what are the side effects ? rex : fatigue , nausea , some patients complain of foggy brain , memory loss . will : well , i 've been there . is my hair gon na fall out ? rex : maybe , not necessarily . sonny : and then how will we know if the radiation is actually working . sarah : well , by monitoring the size of the tumor . rex : tumors grow differently and we 're hoping that yours is a slow growing one . will : okay , what if radiation does n't work ? sarah : well , let 's try it first before we talk about other treatment options . rex : yeah , guys , i know that this is a lot to take in all at once , but let 's focus on the fact that this was the best possible news that we could have received today . sarah : but you know what , we will give you a few minutes to process it . rex : yeah , you know what , let 's go for a walk . as soon as we come back , we can start setting appointments , okay ? will : that 's great . if you see my grandmother , can you give her the news ? rex : absolutely , guys . sarah : of course . sonny : well , i mean , you heard him . this is the best possible outcome we could hope for . will : right , yeah . i know . stefan : sorry . dealing with somebody as self - centered as gabi can be exhausting . chloe : i hear ya . stefan : if you ask me , the wrong hernandez got the bullet . chloe : stefan . stefan : was that out loud ? sorry . she just drives me crazy . gabi : do n't insult me again ! stefan : yeah ? what are you gon na do about it ? gabi : [ moaning ] stefan : anyway , why are we talking about gabi ? i want to know about you . how are you feeling ? chloe : i guess i 'm feeling much better . the police are keeping me in the loop , and they 've told me that hector 's cooperating and he even made a call to the cartel to tell them to leave me and the kids alone . stefan : oh , that 's fantastic . chloe : yeah , i mean , i do n't know if i 'm gon na believe it for a while , but it is good news , right ? stefan : yeah . good news for your safety and also for us i hope . chloe : us ? stefan : yeah , i mean , you said that once the threat of the cartel was over that we could pursue a relationship . chloe : i said that once the threat is over i would think about pursuing a relationship . stefan : okay , well , here we are , and the threat is gone . unless the cartel was an excuse ? i do n't know . brady has made it pretty clear he wants you back . am i competing with him ? brady : hey . gabi : you are the worst conspiracy partner i 've ever had , and i 've had a few lame ones . brady : okay , what 's your problem ? gabi : well , my problem is , you showed chloe the text that i sent you about her being at the park with holly . brady : it was an accident . holly took the phone actually . gabi : well that accident ? it almost blew up our plan . thank god that i convinced stefan and chloe you were just worried about her safety , but we really need to talk about what we 're gon na do after this 'cause i really need to know -- brady : gabi , gabi , gabi . the plan is -- the plan is off . gabi : the plan is what ? brady : plan is off . i 'm sorry , but chloe made it very clear to me that we are not gon na have a future together and it does n't really have to do with stefan , it has to do with the fact that i deceived her and she feels like she can never trust me again . gabi : oh , okay . i mean , what , you 're gon na let this go without a fight ? is that what you 're gon na do ? brady : no , no , i 've been fighting , and i 'm not getting anywhere . if she wants to have a relationship with stefan , she 's gon na do it . it 's her life . i 'm out . i mean , there 's nothing -- gabi : oh , hold on a second . brady : there 's nothing i can do about it . gabi : what about me ? brady , what about my revenge on stefan ? brady : it 's your problem now , gabi . gabi : oh , yeah , my problem ? the hell it is . you sold me on this plan . you convinced me that i could steal his company and make it my own , and now you leave me high and dry the day after ... brady : the day after what ? will : [ sighs ] i know in my head this is good news . i just wish there was like a magic potion i can inject in the tumor and make it go away . sonny : that 'd be nice , would n't it ? will : do n't you ever wonder when our lives are ever gon na be normal ? sonny : normal , here in salem ? i do n't think that 's ever gon na happen . but what we have is better than that . will : well , i 'm lucky to have you . sonny : you 're always gon na have me . will : really ? sonny : mm - hmm . will : even if my hair falls out and i scream at you for no reason ? sonny : yeah , i 'll get you a hat and me some ear plugs . will : i love you , sonny . sonny : i love you . and we 're gon na get through this the way we always do . together . [ soft music ] kate : i have to say that i am pleasantly surprised that you were okay with most of my red - line changes . victor : well , i 'm a very reasonable man . kate : [ chuckles ] yes , you can be at times . victor : i 'm just happy that you 're back at titan . kate : and i 'm happy to be back . may i borrow your pen , sir ? victor : it 's all yours . kate : it does feel like coming home . we were a great team . victor : when we were n't trying to murder each other . [ both laugh ] kate : bygones . victor , i have a really good feeling about this . it 's never too late to recapture the magic . chloe : trust me , brady and i do n't have a future . he used gabi to spy on me when i made it very clear that i ca n't be with someone that i do n't trust . stefan : you 're not gon na have that problem with me . chloe : call me crazy but i believe you . stefan : okay . crazy . so when i asked you on a date , you said that we would discuss it later , and ... yeah , according to my watch , it 's later . chloe : oh , is it ? stefan : yeah , it 's actually half past later to be exact . chloe : oh , okay , well in that case , i 'm very much looking forward to a date . stefan : really ? chloe : yeah . [ laughs ] stefan : wow . chloe : i guess i 'll check my calendar for next week . stefan : next week ? wait , why wait ? how about tonight ? chloe : tonight ? stefan : yeah . chloe : oh , i do n't know . i do n't feel comfortable leaving the kids yet . stefan : okay . how about the kids stay upstairs and you and i can have an evening together here in the house ? what do you say ? chloe : that sounds perfect . gabi : last night i , um , nearly died putting our plan into effect , okay ? but i am still all in on taking down stefan . brady : i get that . i 'm just gon na be completely honest with you . i may have oversold you on what was actually possible here . gabi : oversold ? brady : taking stefan 's company , it 's ... that 's -- it 's a long shot , gabi . it 's really -- i mean , even if you were to get him into bed ... gabi : chloe is so right . you are a rat . brady : stop , stop . i do n't mean to bail on you . i really do n't , but look on the bright side of this whole thing . he disgusts you , right ? you hate stefan so this way now you do n't have to sleep with him . gabi : [ breathing heavily ] you really are a -- brady : you do n't understand . victor has hired kate at titan . i have to put out that fire . i have to deal with that . i have to put all of my energy into that , and i 'm sorry . i 'm gon na move on , gabi . i think you should too . gabi : you go ahead and move on , brady . i am not letting go . i will have my revenge on stefan . roman : where 'd brady disappear to ? i was worried he came in for a drink . eric : he was upset , but he 'll be okay . roman : what about you ? eric : i 'm fine . roman : [ chuckles ] come on . it 's your dad here , all right ? i know when something 's eaten at ya . talk to me . eric : i had to lie to somebody , somebody that i care about . roman : that does n't sound like you . eric : dad , i hated doing it . but if i would have been honest , more people would have been hurt and i just could n't let that happen . sarah : [ sighs ] rex : you 're awfully quiet . sarah : i , uh -- i was just thinking about will 's treatment plan . rex : he 's gon na be okay . sarah : i hope so . rex : it 's been a long shift . i 'm gon na head home , get some sleep . but i would love to have dinner with you later . sarah : sure . i look forward to it . rex : see ya . marlena : hello , sarah . sarah : i was just about to come find you . we got the results from will 's biopsy , and the tumor is benign .

victor : i see how upset you are . maggie : oh , yes , i am upset because this is nothing short of a betrayal . victor : are you sure that 's it 's brady who feels betrayed ? or is it you ? sarah : i thought that we 've moved past me sleeping with xander . eric : you know , looking at these photos of nicole reminded me of how much i missed her . and then for you to go sleep with the man who tortured and killed her ? sarah : i -- eric . i do n't know what else to say other than i 'm sorry . eric : i was just wanting my mom not to say anything . i did n't want to hurt your feelings . looks like i have . gabi : the reason i 'm here is because -- stefan : is because once again gabi showed up unannounced . now i honestly have no idea what 's going on with her , but it 's not appropriate . gabi : not appropriate ?

stefan : right . gabi : chloe 's waiting for you . will : so if the tumor 's benign , what does that mean ? rex : well , no chemotherapy for starters . will : okay , that 's -- what about the symptoms i 've been experiencing ? rex : you mean the seizure ? sonny : well , and just now at the pub , will kind of had a -- like an angry outburst . sarah : you think that the tumor is starting to affect your behavior ? will : [ sighs ] yeah , and i do n't want that to keep happening . i do n't wan na snap in front of ari . rex : no , that 's totally understandable , but , as you know , i could n't remove the tumor in its entirety . it 's size and location -- it was just too risky , too dangerous . but we believe that we can shrink it . will : how ? sarah : well , that 's where it gets a bit tricky . not many things have the power that food has . will : `` tricky `` is not a word that i would prefer to hear when it comes to the tumor in my head . sarah : right , well , we have a lot of options as far as treatments . will : okay , what kind of options ? sarah : well , we 'll start with radiation , which i 'm sure you know is not exactly the most pleasant experience . sonny : and what are the side effects ? rex : fatigue , nausea , some patients complain of foggy brain , memory loss . will : well , i 've been there . is my hair gon na fall out ? rex : maybe , not necessarily . sonny : and then how will we know if the radiation is actually working . sarah : well , by monitoring the size of the tumor . rex : tumors grow differently and we 're hoping that yours is a slow growing one . will : okay , what if radiation does n't work ? sarah : well , let 's try it first before we talk about other treatment options . rex : yeah , guys , i know that this is a lot to take in all at once , but let 's focus on the fact that this was the best possible news that we could have received today . sarah : but you know what , we will give you a few minutes to process it . rex : yeah , you know what , let 's go for a walk . as soon as we come back , we can start setting appointments , okay ? will : that 's great . if you see my grandmother , can you give her the news ? rex : absolutely , guys . sarah : of course . sonny : well , i mean , you heard him . this is the best possible outcome we could hope for . will : right , yeah . i know . stefan : sorry . dealing with somebody as self - centered as gabi can be exhausting . chloe : i hear ya . stefan : if you ask me , the wrong hernandez got the bullet . chloe : stefan . stefan : was that out loud ? sorry . she just drives me crazy . gabi : do n't insult me again ! stefan : yeah ? what are you gon na do about it ? gabi : [ moaning ] stefan : anyway , why are we talking about gabi ? i want to know about you . how are you feeling ? chloe : i guess i 'm feeling much better . the police are keeping me in the loop , and they 've told me that hector 's cooperating and he even made a call to the cartel to tell them to leave me and the kids alone . stefan : oh , that 's fantastic . chloe : yeah , i mean , i do n't know if i 'm gon na believe it for a while , but it is good news , right ? stefan : yeah . good news for your safety and also for us i hope . chloe : us ? stefan : yeah , i mean , you said that once the threat of the cartel was over that we could pursue a relationship . chloe : i said that once the threat is over i would think about pursuing a relationship . stefan : okay , well , here we are , and the threat is gone . unless the cartel was an excuse ? i do n't know . brady has made it pretty clear he wants you back . am i competing with him ? brady : hey . gabi : you are the worst conspiracy partner i 've ever had , and i 've had a few lame ones . brady : okay , what 's your problem ? gabi : well , my problem is , you showed chloe the text that i sent you about her being at the park with holly . brady : it was an accident . holly took the phone actually . gabi : well that accident ? it almost blew up our plan . thank god that i convinced stefan and chloe you were just worried about her safety , but we really need to talk about what we 're gon na do after this 'cause i really need to know -- brady : gabi , gabi , gabi . the plan is -- the plan is off . gabi : the plan is what ? brady : plan is off . i 'm sorry , but chloe made it very clear to me that we are not gon na have a future together and it does n't really have to do with stefan , it has to do with the fact that i deceived her and she feels like she can never trust me again . gabi : oh , okay . i mean , what , you 're gon na let this go without a fight ? is that what you 're gon na do ? brady : no , no , i 've been fighting , and i 'm not getting anywhere . if she wants to have a relationship with stefan , she 's gon na do it . it 's her life . i 'm out . i mean , there 's nothing -- gabi : oh , hold on a second . brady : there 's nothing i can do about it . gabi : what about me ? brady , what about my revenge on stefan ? brady : it 's your problem now , gabi . gabi : oh , yeah , my problem ? the hell it is . you sold me on this plan . you convinced me that i could steal his company and make it my own , and now you leave me high and dry the day after ... brady : the day after what ? will : [ sighs ] i know in my head this is good news . i just wish there was like a magic potion i can inject in the tumor and make it go away . sonny : that 'd be nice , would n't it ? will : do n't you ever wonder when our lives are ever gon na be normal ? sonny : normal , here in salem ? i do n't think that 's ever gon na happen . but what we have is better than that . will : well , i 'm lucky to have you . sonny : you 're always gon na have me . will : really ? sonny : mm - hmm . will : even if my hair falls out and i scream at you for no reason ? sonny : yeah , i 'll get you a hat and me some ear plugs . will : i love you , sonny . sonny : i love you . and we 're gon na get through this the way we always do . together .

| while carly and jack are hiding in a closet , jack asks carly if she got him to detroit to seduce him . she explains that she told craig that to make him leave , but she does ask him why they always end up being drawn to one another like now . jack and carly almost kiss , but when hayden and her mom leave the room , jack and carly race out of the closet with sage 's cd . sage is watching hayden 's act when she seems to be having second thoughts . carly and jack give her a pep talk , but sage finally admits that this was a ruse and she has no interest in the miss snowflake pageant . jack and carly are angry , as sage explains why she did it and how she is sure they still love one another and they just needed to spend time together to remember that , as carly and jack are speechless . outside the hotel where the pageant is being held , parker and liberty walk in the woods and talk about how they have been forced to grow up quickly due to circumstances in their lives . however , trying to have fun makes them lose track of their surroundings and they get turned around . parker is then hurt , as he tries to hide how badly to not alarm liberty , as they try to find a way out of the woods . clarissa tries to coax simon back into their long - standing deal that is about to payoff , but simon wants to stay in town and make a life , as he turns her down . clarissa offers him some money tempting him to think about it . katie is feeling more positive about life these days , as she tells henry about kim being back in town and how they are due to meet about her show . however , her happiness is short lived when she sees simon with clarissa . an annoyed katie wants to forget so she abruptly heads home . soon after , simon heads to katie 's to ask her out now that he has some green , but she ca n't help but ask about clarissa . simon explains who she is , but that he wants to stay in town to be there for her instead . henry approaches clarissa and tries to strike up a deal with her for him to replace simon in this mysterious deal . clarissa is not biting at first , but henry is persistent . carly and jack talk to sage about their disapproval of her behavior . sage presses them to admit their feelings , as they admit they will always care for one another because they have history , but then carly 's attention is turned when hayden 's mother eggs her on . sage is happy to see this interaction and heads onstage and sings a song , never surrender , dedicated to her parents . later , carly and jack seem to be trying to convince themselves of a reason they ca n't get back together , but they seem to not have a reason off the top of their heads . they are about to share a kiss when janet interrupts . after a sad carly leaves them to talk , janet explains that she has come to fight for their marriage , but she ca n't help but notice the vibe between him and carly . parker and liberty get more lost but find a place to stay , as parker 's leg gets worse and liberty has to care for him . getting colder , they huddle for body warmth and are about to kiss when parker passes out . katie tells simon that she ca n't make any promises , as simon claims to accept that , but he wants to be there for her , as he kisses her . henry continues to try to convince clarissa that simon will never change his mind because of katie , but if simon has never met the mark then he can play a fill in as the mysterious australian . sage is upset to hear from carly that janet is with her dad , as carly seems to not be able to hide her disappointment either . however , she is becoming more worried about where parker and liberty are now . | <s>[INST] bridget : that 's good ! hayden : more eyeliner ?

'cause if she wants the play the kind of games that victor wants to play ... and she loses , so be it . neil : got to do what you got to do . devon : i know i said that we 'd tell neil before valentine 's day , but i do n't think that 's gon na be enough time . 'cause the man 's had devastating news , and we need to see him be in a better place before we start laying the groundwork . hilary : my heart is falling through the floor here , and you say that ? devon : baby -- hilary : what do you want me to do in the meantime , huh ? do you want me to -- to just pretend like i 'm swept away by his grand romantic gesture ? is that what you want ? devon : you know i do n't . hilary : we agreed , okay ? we had a plan . devon : okay , how about this -- how about we do a family trip ? hilary : a family trip ? devon : yeah . well , it 's a business trip for jill and cane . they 're gon na go to chicago for chancellor and they were gon na take lily and colin along . they 're gon na do it up . they 're gon na have a private jet , stay in a nice hotel . i 'll just insist on being there as the primary investor . and you can invite neil to come . hilary : why ? neither of us has anything to do with chancellor . devon : i understand that , but like i said , it 'll be a family trip . and i 'm sure jill and cane wo n't mind . hilary : [ sighs ] devon , i do n't know . devon : it 'll be perfect . trust me . just hype it up to neil how much of a good time we 'll have . that way , you wo n't have to be alone with him and i 'll at least be able to spend part of valentine 's day with you . hilary : i guess i can make it work . devon : i know you can make it work . okay ? this 'll be a holiday to remember . victor : i am hardly a selfless man . i 'm thinking of my family here . please , sit . phyllis : i imagine you 're speaking of summer . victor : you know , after you went into a coma , that poor girl was a lost soul . became very vulnerable , did n't know who to turn to . that 's why she got involved with that messed - up kid austin . worst of all , she turned to someone else for a mother . phyllis : sharon . victor : do you know how much damage that woman has done to this family , over and over again , and most of all , to nicholas ? and i 'm going to straighten that mess out . having said that , i think the most important thing for you now is to stay away from jack abbott . it 's good for you , good for summer , good for the whole newman family . phyllis : victor , these are all ... very pretty sentiments , and i believe they 're true . but i also know that by me staying here , it 's having an effect on jack , and i think you 're enjoying that . victor : you know , jack abbott 's feelings are utterly irrelevant to me . phyllis : is that because they are small potatoes in the grand scheme of things -- me and jack , and summer and -- we 're all just smaller pieces of the larger ... picture ? victor : that what you think ? phyllis : i think you 're a big - picture kind of guy . and i think there is more to all of this , a lot more than you 're saying . victor : [ chuckles ] jack : phyllis fired you ? avery : i 'm afraid so . jack : what the hell happened ? avery : well , i was trying to get her to see how dire her situation is when victor walked in and complete undermined me . because , you know , he supports her fully . he 's the only one who truly understands her . jack : yeah , she 's frightened and confused , and he 's taking full advantage of it . avery : jack , i am scared for my sister . i do n't know what i can do for her now . we ca n't have her committed because dr. barrett declared her mentally competent . jack : and you know why . kelly . she denies it , of course , but i guarantee you she convinced this doctor that phyllis is determined to get rid of all the competition . she painted her in the worst possible light . avery : phyllis is not responsible for her actions . how a trained psychiatrist could not see that -- jack : yeah , well , the hell of it is when i 'm with her , according to phyllis , it only gets worse . i ca n't reach her . avery : yeah . that makes two of us . jack : yeah , and i do n't know how we 're gon na convince a judge that phyllis really is unstable . avery : actually , there might be a way . ashley : i 'm surprised you were brave enough to answer your door . victor : have you ever known me to be a coward ? ashley : yeah . yeah , what you did was exceedingly cowardly . victor : oh , yeah ? ashley : mm - hmm . victor : what did i do ? ashley : theft . victor : oh . really ? ashley : uh - huh . victor : huh . ashley : i do n't know who you bribed or who you blackmailed at the environmental security bureau , but when those guys came in to my lab and confiscated my prototype and my notes , you somehow got your hands on them . you copied my fragrance after you stole it , and you know it . victor : that 's absurd . ashley : i saw your ad -- brash & sassy 's new fragrance . `` cast a spell over your man . it 'll make you irresistible . `` you did n't even try to be subtle , did you ? victor : well , whatever you think i did -- ashley : you know , i worked on that fragrance for more than a year . i tested it , i retested it , i developed it , i sweat blood over it . you do n't give a damn , do you ? you have no respect for that . you planted spies in jabot , you bugged my lab , and when that did n't do the trick , you had government agents do your dirty work for you . you took my fragrance and slapped your name on it , and now you 're going to market ahead of us . victor : i 'd be very careful pointing fingers in public , okay ? ashley : you know what , victor ? you forget who you 're talking to . i know exactly what you 're capable of doing . i know exactly how low you will stoop . and so do you . why the hell are you doing this ? ! why are you letting victor use you this way ? phyllis : you know , i 'm getting sick and tired of people saying that . i 'm not being used . i know what i 'm doing . avery : the slightest thing throws phyllis off these days . if we can come up with a way for you to trigger that unstable behavior in front of witnesses ... jack : to make her look crazy ? avery : to prove that kelly is lying , to show the court that phyllis really does need help . jack : whoa , stop , stop . what are you talking about ? we ca n't set phyllis up that way . avery : you said it yourself , jack . victor is now her salvation . we 're the enemy . there 's no reasoning with her . she 's irrational . jack : then we 'll find some other way to help her . avery : we 're past that point . we 're out of time , jack . jack : do you realize what you 're asking me ? this is n't even up for discussion . avery : okay , so what 's the alternative ? we 're gon na let kelly win ? jack : i will do whatever i have to do to help phyllis . there has got to be some other way to keep her out of prison . avery : jack , she is looking at attempted murder . the judge could put her in jail for many years . kelly has played this whole thing beautifully . i am telling you -- my approach is the only way . jack : to incite the woman i love to break down , to become violent in public after everything that she has been through -- this is a victor move . i wo n't hurt phyllis this way . end of discussion . avery : jack -- jack : no . end of discussion . kelly : lily . hi . um , i was hoping we could talk . lily : um , yeah . what 's wrong ? kelly : you know , you 've been an amazing friend to me -- always telling me the truth even when it hurts . i really owe you for that . lily : what 's going on ? kelly : well , you know , lately i 've been wondering whether i 've been ... reading too much into what i had with jack , clinging to something that did n't exist , maybe deserved all the things that phyllis did to me . lily : um ... yeah , i just -- i think it 's a shame that things got taken that far . kelly : you mean that phyllis took it that far -- poisoning me . [ chuckles ] i mean , like -- like she had n't threatened me enough already . lily : i just -- i understand the kind of rage that can drive someone to hurt someone else ... or themselves . kelly : what are you saying ? you think i spiked my own tea with antifreeze ? lily : i 'm just saying that we all do things to hold on to the people that we love . and you were in an impossible situation , and i supported you , but up until a point , because now phyllis could be facing jail time . kelly : [ sighs ] so you actually think -- you know what ? it 's okay . i - i said that i appreciated your candor , and i meant it , but the fact is i did n't need to do anything , especially not something that extreme , to fend off phyllis . lily : why would you say that ? kelly : there is more to this story than you know , lily . the truth is i 'm not the only one who thinks that jack and i have something real , something that 's meant to last . devon : i hate lying to neil as much as you do . hilary : but you do n't have to live with him . you do n't have to try and say the loving things that a wife is supposed to say when your heart 's not in it . you do n't have to sleep beside him every night just praying that he does n't touch you because then you 're gon na have to pull away or come up with another stupid excuse . i 'm starting to hate myself . okay ? and i care about neil . i just -- i do n't -- i do n't want to do this anymore . devon : honey , honey , honey , honey . listen to me . i promise you we 're gon na find a way to get through this and a way to tell neil the truth when the time is right . hilary : did n't you hear anything that i just said ? i do n't know how much longer i can keep pretending . devon : come here . come here . it 's okay . hilary : [ sniffles ] devon : it 's okay . hilary : hey , neil . it 's me . i 've been thinking about you . neil : that 's funny . i 've been thinking about you , too . what were you thinking ? hilary : um , just , you know , how lucky i am to have a man who loves me as much as you do . neil : you do n't what it means to hear you say that to me . hilary : um ... you know , i 've been distant lately . and it 's just like you said back at the office . it 's been a difficult time for all of us . neil : yes , it has . it 's been extremely difficult . hilary : yeah . [ sighs ] so ... about valentine 's day . i 've been brainstorming , and ... there 's something special that i 'm excited to tell you about . neil : lovers ' day . yeah , i ca n't wait to hear what you have in mind . ashley : phyllis , i know that you 've been through so much . you lost an entire year of your life . but when you go through an experience like that , do n't you come to some kind of an understanding about what 's important ? i mean , did n't you reach an epiphany of some kind ? phyllis : i had an understanding , but look where it got me . i got lied to , tricked . i was just locked in a psych ward , heading to prison . victor : you do not owe her an explanation . ashley : you 're not the only one who lost something . after your accident , jack went into mourning . i mean , he basically gave up on his life . do you know that he worships you ? i do n't understand why you 're lashing out at him like this . phyllis : while i was in a coma , he had a nice warm body to mourn with . so forgive me if i am not weeping tears over him . ashley : really , phyllis ? i mean , that 's what this is about ? you 're punishing jack because he finally managed to move on with his life ? kelly : avery , hi . um ... we should talk . avery : bad idea . kelly : i know you 're probably angry at me for talking to that doctor , the one who evaluated phyllis at fairview , but he called me . avery : and you were n't about to miss an opportunity to bury my sister . kelly : i did n't press charges , okay ? that was the d.a . 's decision . i do n't want phyllis to go to prison . avery : oh , spare me , kelly . kelly : you 're an attorney . this is a criminal investigation . what are you suggesting ? that i should have lied ? avery : my sister was in a coma for over a year . she was treated with highly experimental medication , her family did n't know , and she 's still suffering the aftereffects of that . her whole world moved on without her , and , yes , she 's still struggling , kelly . you could have told all that to dr. barrett so phyllis could get the help that she needs . instead , you made it sound like she 's capable of attempted murder because you want her locked up , do n't you ? so you can go after jack . kelly : that is not true . avery : it 's sick and you 're sick and if anybody needs a stay at fairview , it 's you , lady . kelly : stop saying that . avery : oh , i seem to have hit a nerve . kelly : it 's not right . it 's not right . nikki : how could you let phyllis move into my home ? ! jack : hello to you , too . nikki : answer the question . jack : you know it was not my choice . nikki : she 's your fiancée . jack : was my fiancée . she gave me the ring back . your hubby is pulling the strings now . take this up with him . nikki : victor and i are not responsible for taking care of her complications . i want her the hell out of my house . now , if you ca n't take -- jack : what do you want me to do ? you want me to issue an ultimatum ? you want me to knock her over the head and drag her out by the hair ? which do you prefer ? nikki : i do n't really care . i just want her gone . if i 'm not making myself clear enough , i 'll do . lily : [ sighs ] i 'm so excited about our trip . cane : i can not wait to get on the plane . lily : i know . it 's been forever since we 've had time away from the kids . cane : and we are gon na make the most of this . lily : oh , we definitely will . something tells me this will be an anniversary to remember . hilary : so , it will be a group of people that we love the most traveling by private jet , showered with all of the perks . neil : mm . perks are always good . so , tell me -- who exactly is going on this trip ? hilary : uh , jill , devon , cane -- it 's their business trip -- and lily and colin and you and me , if you agree to tag along . neil : hmm . well , i -- [ clears throat ] yeah , all of us together in one place -- yeah . that sounds perfect . victor : ashley , your business plan failed . you 're obviously very upset about it . and here you are raging at poor phyllis . i suggest you take your attitude and go . ashley : i 'm not talking business anymore , victor . this is personal . it 's obvious why you 're doing this . you 're angry with jack because you think he abandoned you . now you 're throwing in with somebody like victor , who 's so happy , so willing and able and eager to torment my family and my brother any chance he gets . phyllis : this is totally not your business , ashley . ashley : no , but jack and avery are working so hard to convince the world that you 're crazy , but we both know that 's not the case , right ? we both know that you know exactly what you 're doing . jack : listen , i 've been doing some more thinking about your plan . avery : and ? jack : i still do n't like it , but ... you 're right . we have to do something . avery : [ sighs ] what changed your mind ? jack : i realized if we do n't act now , phyllis ' situation is only gon na get worse , and i 'm fresh out of better ideas . avery : i know . i am not thrilled with this , either , jack , but the thought of my sister losing her freedom over a crime she 's not responsible for -- that 's far worse . jack : agreed . avery : okay , we 'll work out the details , but this is gon na have to happen fast . jack : this probably goes without saying , but phyllis ca n't know this . she would think this is the ultimate betrayal , and it probably is . avery : we 'll do our best to keep it from her , but , jack , it 's for her own good . and do n't worry . you wo n't be alone in this . [ next_on ] adam : happy valentine 's day . noah : does anybody else think it 's weird that we got invitations to drive all the way up here and we have no idea who sent them ? neil : [ thinking ] i gave you both a chance to do the honorable thing , but you 're cowards . | avery visits with phyllis at the newman ranch to discuss her trial and their options . jack finds ashley in his office at jabot . they discuss how the new fragrance will make her ceo of jabot again . thanks to a text she receives , she finds out that victor has stolen her fragrance `` hex `` and is marketing it before she can . victor tells kelly that he does n't want jack with phyllis or in summer 's life . he wants her to have a life with jack , but kelly wonders why . at the athletic club bar , lily asks devon his plans for valentine 's day . neil remembers hilary being in bed with devon . he sees her at the offices at jabot but acts as though he ca n't . neil asks if that is hilary , but she does n't answer . neil apologizes and tells her that he thought he smelled hilary 's perfume . when he starts to walk off , she admits it is her . neil and hilary discuss what happened yesterday and how devastated he felt afterwards . neil tells hilary that he appreciates her and wants to take her out for a big elaborate dinner for valentine 's day . jack tells ashley about victor moving phyllis into the ranch . ashley becomes angry with victor and tells jack that she has had it with him . as ashley rushes out , jack calls after her . kelly asks victor if he and phyllis have something going . victor denies the accusation and reminds kelly of all sharon did to their family in the past . kelly reminds victor of all the things phyllis did . victor tells kelly to consider his offer . nikki allows avery to see phyllis . they discuss jack wanting to help . phyllis does n't think jack is an `` ally . `` avery thinks their only option is a `` plea deal `` but phyllis angrily refuses . victor walks in on them arguing and tells avery that phyllis no longer requires her services . phyllis tells her to go away . nikki comes in laughing and confronts phyllis about her trusting victor . nikki warns her that victor never does anything for anyone unless there is something in it for him . nikki leaves . phyllis asks victor if he is going to deny it . victor says `` no . `` devon finds out from cane that the chancellor offices are now in chicago and that colin is there with jill . devon tells them that a condition of him giving jill the money was that colin would not be around chancellor industries . hilary tells devon neil 's plans for valentine 's day . | <s>[INST] nikki : victor ? oh . have you seen my husband ? phyllis : not for a while , no . nikki : well , that 's surprising . i thought he would have been busy doting over his latest pet project . phyllis : victor 's doing me a huge favor . i 'm very grateful . but , nikki , if you do n't want me here , all you have to do is -- nikki : i do n't want you here . [ doorbell rings ] nikki : oh , of course . [ sighs ] it 's for you . sissy . avery : actually , i 'm here as your attorney today . ashley : there you are . jack : you waiting for me ? ashley : yeah . i have the first mockups for hex 's print campaign . i think you should look them over before i give the green light to the art department . jack : you certainly seem pleased with it . ashley : oh , they had an easy job of it . the product does sell itself , after all . jack : we get it on the shelves , it 'll fly right off . ashley : mm , that 's the idea . jack : i 'm incredibly proud of you , ash . you worked your tail off to get this thing to market , and if this love potion of yours sells anything like we expect it to ... ashley : co - ceo again . jack : i will be thrilled to make that announcement . [ computer chimes ] jack : who is sending off e - mails at this hour ? ashley : it 's my assistant . `` see attached and try not to explode `` ? jack : uh - oh . ashley : [ gasps ] oh , god . no . jack : what ? what is it ? ashley : it 's a magazine ad for brash & sassy 's new fragrance . jack : `` cast a spell over your man that 'll make you irresistible . `` ashley : that is the dictionary definition for hex -- `` to cast a spell over . `` jack : that crafty son of a -- ashley : that is our marketing concept , jack . he stole it . victor stole it ! just like he stole the fragrance . i - i created this ! this is corporate espionage ! do you see that ? jack : he 's done a lot more than that . kelly : i 'm sorry , sir . um , what do you mean we want the same things ? victor : i do n't want phyllis in jack 's life any more than you do . he 's done terrible things to her . he did n't tell her the truth that he was having an affair with you all the while she was lying in a coma . kelly : [ chuckles ] that 's very true . uh ... but i do n't -- why would you care about my feelings ? victor : i do n't . but i care about my granddaughter 's feelings . and jack has done terrible things to her mother . now , if you want jack abbott in your life , i can help you make it happen . kelly : [ chuckles ] why would you do that ? what 's in it for you ? lily : so , what are you plans for valentine 's day ? devon : it 's a much bigger day for you . what are you guys doing for your anniversary ? cane : i am sweeping my beautiful wife off to chicago and going to mix business with pleasure . lily : well , small parts of the former and large quantities of the latter . cane : mm - hmm . devon : i 'm sure that 's all the details i need about that . lily : well , that 's all i really know anyway . cane : well , after we finish with jill , i have an evening planned . lily : do i get a hint ? cane : no . lily : oh , well , ask devon what he has planned for his valentine , gwen . cane : mm . neil : hilary . is that you ? neil : if you 're not hilary , please forgive me . i thought i - i recognized my wife 's perfume . hilary : neil . neil : ah . it is you . huh . i - i was afraid that i was making a fool of myself . hilary : no , no . of course not . neil : well , you came home so late last night , and then you slipped out before i had a chance to give you a good - morning kiss . you know , we really had n't talked since yesterday when -- when you left like a bat out of hell . hilary : yeah , about that -- neil : no , no . no . no . do n't you dare apologize . you have nothing to apologize for . we had just received some devastating news , and i - i know it 's a lot for you to process . i know . i - i handled things very poorly . and if i 'm being honest with you , which i always am , i was shattered when the doctor told me that i 'd never see again . i realize that you needed some time alone , away from me , away from everything . this has all been so -- so very , very painful . hilary : yeah , well , that 's very understanding of you . neil : i know how hard this has been for you and why you 'd want to keep some distance from me . hilary : neil , i 'm -- i 'm not trying to avoid you , okay ? i 'm just -- i 'm just busy . neil : yeah . hilary : i 've really been neglecting my work with everything else that 's been going on . neil : we 've both been struggling ever since my accident . and ... i want to show you how -- how much i appreciate all that you 've done for me and , you know , how much you 've sacrificed , and i want to take away all this pain , even if it 's for one day . hilary : yeah ? how do you want to do that ? neil : i would like to take you out for a very special valentine 's day and show you how much i adore you and that i am grateful for sticking by me and all that you 've done and having you in my life . ashley : what do you mean victor moved phyllis in ? to the ranch ? what was she thinking ? jack : she was thinking that i betrayed her , that i was the one that sent her to fairview for the psychiatric evaluation , even thought michael and i agreed it was her only shot at an insanity defense . ashley : well , it 's because she thinks you abandoned her . and you know what ? that 's how she views everything nowadays . phyllis has always been defensive , but i think she 's becoming paranoid . jack : and capitalizing on her fear and vulnerability , victor is underlining and reinforcing every negative feeling she 's ever had about me . ashley : you know , it 's just not enough for him , is it , to screw us over with this sleazy business maneuver . he has to butt his nose into your personal life . jack : no , the mustache is n't fully alive until he thinks he has something up on me . ashley : you know what ? i 'm a very competitive person , but i 've had it with victor 's vindictive attacks on our family . jack : wait , wait . what are you doing , ash ? ash ! [ door closes ] victor : i already told you what i want . i want phyllis to be free of that destructive jackass . kelly : [ chuckles ] you know , i bet most people find you pretty persuasive . victor : but you do n't ? kelly : well ... forgive me , but , um , are you and phyllis having a thing ? victor : [ chuckles ] no , we 're not romantically involved . kelly : i just -- it 's a little hard to wrap my head around it . i mean , you say that it 's because phyllis is summer 's mom , but i thought you hated noah and faith 's mom . victor : ca n't stand her . sharon has done some dreadful things to my family . and she is the one who pushed phyllis down that flight of stairs so phyllis ended up in a coma . and it took me a long time to find ways to get phyllis out of that coma . and i 'm not going to allow jack abbott to destroy her now . kelly : oh , my -- phyllis is the one who is destroying jack . she is completely out of -- i know you do n't like jack , [ chuckles ] but jack has gone above and beyond the call of duty . he has stood by her . he has been more patient and understanding than that woman deserves . victor : oh , my god . it warms the cockles of my heart to hear that . kelly : respectfully , phyllis has done things in order to keep jack in her life , things that involve harming me . victor : phyllis is out of jack 's life . ever since she was released from fairview , she has been staying at the ranch with me and with nikki . kelly : phyllis left jack ? victor : mm - hmm . so you think about my offer , okay ? have a nice day . kelly : [ chuckles ] sir . victor : thank you . kelly : thank you . [ chuckles ] avery : i need to speak to my client , nikki . would you mind giving us some time alone ? nikki : oh , not at all . of course not . whatever phyllis wants . avery : okay , she seems pleased with this arrangement . phyllis : oh , i have my reasons for being here . avery : mm - hmm . is one of them jack ? because i ca n't think of a better way to hurt him than coming to stay here . phyllis : me , hurt jack ? avery : phyllis , listen to me . you need all the allies you can get right now . phyllis : jack is no ally . he 's proven that . avery : really ? you do n't think he was acting on your behalf when he was trying to keep you out of jail ? phyllis : well , so he claims , but i do n't know . trying to trick your fiancée into committing herself into an insane asylum really is n't sitting well with me these days . avery : phyllis . phyllis : now , come on . you said you were here as my lawyer . i want an update . where do things stand ? avery : the psychiatrist 's report is in . phyllis : yes , i heard . jack seemed disappointed to learn that i 'm not crazy . avery : do you not grasp what this means for your case ? the doctor has said you 're a cold and calculating person who was not impaired that day at the club , that you knew exactly what you were doing . phyllis : when i allegedly poisoned kelly , something i have no recollection of . but there was antifreeze in her body , so it must have been me . you think i 'm lying , and i can see it in your eyes . you think i tried to kill her . avery : phyllis , that report is all christine needs to convict you of a violent crime . is that what you want ? phyllis : what 's the alternative ? avery : we need to discuss a plea deal . phyllis : no . no way in hell . phyllis : there is no way i am going to admit to something i do n't believe i did . avery : phyllis , you should not be held accountable for what happened to kelly . phyllis : yeah , because i did n't put poison in her tea . avery : but dr. barrett feels that you are sane and calculating enough to have done it . phyllis : okay , then we get another shrink . we get a second opinion . avery : no , you are in serious trouble here . okay ? the da has a very strong case against you , and christine wants to hang you from the highest tree ! phyllis : oh , my god . that 's another thing . cricket hates me . she should n't even be allowed anywhere near my case . i mean , seriously , is that not your job as my lawyer ? avery : even if christine were to rescue herself , the case against you is very compelling . phyllis : okay , then i want you to tell me the truth . do you think i poisoned kelly ? avery : uh ... phyllis ... phyllis : avery . you are no longer my lawyer . [ door opens ] avery : phyllis . phyllis : no , i do n't need any help going to prison . avery : no , you ca n't do this . phyllis : well , i just did . you 're fired . avery : but ... victor : hello . i think she 's no longer in need of your legal services . avery : phyllis , my god , listen to me . phyllis : no . victor 's been through this . he believes in me . avery : you 're not thinking this through . dismissing me does n't make these charges go away . phyllis : well , then i will settle for you going away . there 's the door . avery : [ scoffs ] if you need me -- phyllis : i wo n't . victor : you have a nice day . [ door opens ] victor : well , well , well . [ door closes ] victor : the last thing you need is someone on your defense team who thinks that you 're mentally unbalanced . nikki : [ laughs ] good one , victor . way to go . oh , for heaven 's sake . i thought you were smart enough to understand what was going on here . phyllis : i think what 's going on is that your husband is doing me a very big favor , and that seems to be upsetting you . nikki : i love that man . but i have to say that in all the years i have known him , i can count on one hand the number of times he has done something for somebody out of the kindness of his heart . because there are always strings attached , phyllis . always . you used to know that about him . but then there is something in this for you , too , is n't there ? you have the added bonus of sticking it to jack because he has wounded you so . victor : you finished ? nikki : why , yes , i believe i am . for now . i 'm off to get a massage . please , do n't wait up for me . [ door opens , closes ] phyllis : are you going to deny any of that ? victor : no . nikki is right . there is something in this for me . devon : so , chancellor might move to chicago ? cane : yeah , there 's a , uh , real - estate mogul that 's trying to woo us into his building . has , uh , views of the lake , the river . devon : well , that sounds tempting . cane : yeah , he 's going all out to impress us , even sending his private jet . lily : you never told me that . cane : well , stick with me , baby , and travel in style . [ chuckling ] devon : when do you guys leave ? cane : uh , plane picks us up at 5 : 00 tomorrow , get on site by 6 : 30 , and then , after i finish meeting with jill and colin -- devon : oh , wait , wait , wait . jill said that colin had nothing to do with chancellor . lily : i guess she changed her mind . is that a problem ? devon : well , it was one of the conditions of my investing -- no colin . cane : well , i thought he was supposed to be a private partner , so what does it matter ? devon : um ... for now . excuse me , guys . lily : yeah . devon : what 's wrong ? hilary : everything . see , this is exactly why i wanted to tell neil before valentine 's day . devon : what 's going on ? hilary : he 's planning some big , elaborate surprise . i do n't know how much longer i can keep up this charade , devon . i just -- i feel -- i feel like he 's gon na see right through me . nikki : got your usual . neil : thanks . [ sighs ] need that . nikki : oh , i 'd ask how things were going , but it 's fairly obvious . neil : i ca n't get that image out of my head -- my wife and my son having sex like that . you know what ? she 's been avoiding me like the plague . nikki : so , they still do n't know that you know ? neil : mnh - mnh . totally in the dark , like i was . i tracked her down at jabot . i wanted to scream at her that i knew . but i held it all in -- what i was thinking , what i was feeling . and instead , i told her that i wanted to plan this very beautiful , lovely valentine 's dinner . nikki : hmm . what did she say to that ? neil : oh , she did n't have to say anything at all , you know ? the ... look on her face said it all -- all the guilt , all the panic . i swear to god i 'd have more respect for that woman if she 'd just literally stab me in the back . i wanted to call her out right then and there . i wanted to look her in the eye and tell her what i saw . i wanted to choke -- [ slams ] choke the truth out of her . nikki : listen to me . if you were this angry , it 's a good thing you did n't . 'cause no good can come from that . neil : you 're right . would n't be worth it ... and not nearly satisfying enough . oh , no , no , no , no , no , no . hilary is not -- she 's not gon na get off that easy . nikki : why , thank you . neil : yep . so ... how are things going with you and victor ? nikki : please do not ask . neil : that good , huh ? nikki : he 's constantly telling me how much the marriage means to him , and then he turns around and inflicts more pain . i mean , i am so over it . i 'm over it . i 'm over him . and then , when i needed my husband the most , he is trying to resurrect phyllis . i forgave him that . i forgave him , and you know where phyllis is living now ? my house . neil : phyllis , uh -- she left jack ? nikki : oh , she made the decision when she was at fairview , and when they released her , victor offered her one of our guest rooms . neil : holy smokes . temporarily , i 'm assuming , right ? nikki : oh , no , no . make no assumptions . this is indefinite . i mean , as long as little miss phyllis needs a room , she 's got a room . neil : oh . nikki : and let me tell you this -- he did n't even ask me about it . neil : how much is one person supposed to take ? nikki : i am done making excuses for him . i mean , everything that he does , he says is in the name of protecting the family and all that . i 'm -- i 'm so over it . neil : how can a person be married to someone , take -- take vows , and then treat them with such contempt ? nikki : neil , i do n't know . i 'll tell you -- i 'll tell you phyllis is on her own . 'cause if she wants the play the kind of games that victor wants to play ... and she loses , so be it . neil : got to do what you got to do . devon : i know i said that we 'd tell neil before valentine 's day , but i do n't think that 's gon na be enough time . 'cause the man 's had devastating news , and we need to see him be in a better place before we start laying the groundwork . hilary : my heart is falling through the floor here , and you say that ? devon : baby -- hilary : what do you want me to do in the meantime , huh ? do you want me to -- to just pretend like i 'm swept away by his grand romantic gesture ? is that what you want ? devon : you know i do n't . hilary : we agreed , okay ? we had a plan . devon : okay , how about this -- how about we do a family trip ? hilary : a family trip ? devon : yeah . well , it 's a business trip for jill and cane . they 're gon na go to chicago for chancellor and they were gon na take lily and colin along . they 're gon na do it up . they 're gon na have a private jet , stay in a nice hotel . i 'll just insist on being there as the primary investor . and you can invite neil to come . hilary : why ? neither of us has anything to do with chancellor . devon : i understand that , but like i said , it 'll be a family trip . and i 'm sure jill and cane wo n't mind . hilary : [ sighs ] devon , i do n't know . devon : it 'll be perfect . trust me . just hype it up to neil how much of a good time we 'll have . that way , you wo n't have to be alone with him and i 'll at least be able to spend part of valentine 's day with you . hilary : i guess i can make it work . devon : i know you can make it work . okay ? this 'll be a holiday to remember . victor : i am hardly a selfless man . i 'm thinking of my family here . please , sit . phyllis : i imagine you 're speaking of summer . victor : you know , after you went into a coma , that poor girl was a lost soul . became very vulnerable , did n't know who to turn to . that 's why she got involved with that messed - up kid austin . worst of all , she turned to someone else for a mother . phyllis : sharon . victor : do you know how much damage that woman has done to this family , over and over again , and most of all , to nicholas ? and i 'm going to straighten that mess out . having said that , i think the most important thing for you now is to stay away from jack abbott . it 's good for you , good for summer , good for the whole newman family . phyllis : victor , these are all ... very pretty sentiments , and i believe they 're true . but i also know that by me staying here , it 's having an effect on jack , and i think you 're enjoying that . victor : you know , jack abbott 's feelings are utterly irrelevant to me . phyllis : is that because they are small potatoes in the grand scheme of things -- me and jack , and summer and -- we 're all just smaller pieces of the larger ... picture ? victor : that what you think ? phyllis : i think you 're a big - picture kind of guy . and i think there is more to all of this , a lot more than you 're saying . victor : [ chuckles ] jack : phyllis fired you ? avery : i 'm afraid so . jack : what the hell happened ? avery : well , i was trying to get her to see how dire her situation is when victor walked in and complete undermined me . because , you know , he supports her fully . he 's the only one who truly understands her . jack : yeah , she 's frightened and confused , and he 's taking full advantage of it . avery : jack , i am scared for my sister . i do n't know what i can do for her now . we ca n't have her committed because dr. barrett declared her mentally competent . jack : and you know why . kelly . she denies it , of course , but i guarantee you she convinced this doctor that phyllis is determined to get rid of all the competition . she painted her in the worst possible light . avery : phyllis is not responsible for her actions . how a trained psychiatrist could not see that -- jack : yeah , well , the hell of it is when i 'm with her , according to phyllis , it only gets worse . i ca n't reach her . avery : yeah . that makes two of us . jack : yeah , and i do n't know how we 're gon na convince a judge that phyllis really is unstable . avery : actually , there might be a way . ashley : i 'm surprised you were brave enough to answer your door . victor : have you ever known me to be a coward ? ashley : yeah . yeah , what you did was exceedingly cowardly . victor : oh , yeah ? ashley : mm - hmm . victor : what did i do ? ashley : theft . victor : oh . really ? ashley : uh - huh . victor : huh . ashley : i do n't know who you bribed or who you blackmailed at the environmental security bureau , but when those guys came in to my lab and confiscated my prototype and my notes , you somehow got your hands on them . you copied my fragrance after you stole it , and you know it . victor : that 's absurd . ashley : i saw your ad -- brash & sassy 's new fragrance . `` cast a spell over your man . it 'll make you irresistible . `` you did n't even try to be subtle , did you ? victor : well , whatever you think i did -- ashley : you know , i worked on that fragrance for more than a year . i tested it , i retested it , i developed it , i sweat blood over it . you do n't give a damn , do you ? you have no respect for that . you planted spies in jabot , you bugged my lab , and when that did n't do the trick , you had government agents do your dirty work for you . you took my fragrance and slapped your name on it , and now you 're going to market ahead of us . victor : i 'd be very careful pointing fingers in public , okay ? ashley : you know what , victor ? you forget who you 're talking to . i know exactly what you 're capable of doing . i know exactly how low you will stoop . and so do you . why the hell are you doing this ? ! why are you letting victor use you this way ? phyllis : you know , i 'm getting sick and tired of people saying that . i 'm not being used . i know what i 'm doing . avery : the slightest thing throws phyllis off these days . if we can come up with a way for you to trigger that unstable behavior in front of witnesses ... jack : to make her look crazy ? avery : to prove that kelly is lying , to show the court that phyllis really does need help . jack : whoa , stop , stop . what are you talking about ? we ca n't set phyllis up that way . avery : you said it yourself , jack . victor is now her salvation . we 're the enemy . there 's no reasoning with her . she 's irrational . jack : then we 'll find some other way to help her . avery : we 're past that point . we 're out of time , jack . jack : do you realize what you 're asking me ? this is n't even up for discussion . avery : okay , so what 's the alternative ? we 're gon na let kelly win ? jack : i will do whatever i have to do to help phyllis . there has got to be some other way to keep her out of prison . avery : jack , she is looking at attempted murder . the judge could put her in jail for many years . kelly has played this whole thing beautifully . i am telling you -- my approach is the only way . jack : to incite the woman i love to break down , to become violent in public after everything that she has been through -- this is a victor move . i wo n't hurt phyllis this way . end of discussion . avery : jack -- jack : no . end of discussion . kelly : lily . hi . um , i was hoping we could talk . lily : um , yeah . what 's wrong ? kelly : you know , you 've been an amazing friend to me -- always telling me the truth even when it hurts . i really owe you for that . lily : what 's going on ? kelly : well , you know , lately i 've been wondering whether i 've been ... reading too much into what i had with jack , clinging to something that did n't exist , maybe deserved all the things that phyllis did to me . lily : um ... yeah , i just -- i think it 's a shame that things got taken that far . kelly : you mean that phyllis took it that far -- poisoning me . [ chuckles ] i mean , like -- like she had n't threatened me enough already . lily : i just -- i understand the kind of rage that can drive someone to hurt someone else ... or themselves . kelly : what are you saying ? you think i spiked my own tea with antifreeze ? lily : i 'm just saying that we all do things to hold on to the people that we love . and you were in an impossible situation , and i supported you , but up until a point , because now phyllis could be facing jail time . kelly : [ sighs ] so you actually think -- you know what ? it 's okay . i - i said that i appreciated your candor , and i meant it , but the fact is i did n't need to do anything , especially not something that extreme , to fend off phyllis . lily : why would you say that ? kelly : there is more to this story than you know , lily . the truth is i 'm not the only one who thinks that jack and i have something real , something that 's meant to last . devon : i hate lying to neil as much as you do . hilary : but you do n't have to live with him . you do n't have to try and say the loving things that a wife is supposed to say when your heart 's not in it . you do n't have to sleep beside him every night just praying that he does n't touch you because then you 're gon na have to pull away or come up with another stupid excuse . i 'm starting to hate myself . okay ? and i care about neil . i just -- i do n't -- i do n't want to do this anymore . devon : honey , honey , honey , honey . listen to me . i promise you we 're gon na find a way to get through this and a way to tell neil the truth when the time is right . hilary : did n't you hear anything that i just said ? i do n't know how much longer i can keep pretending . devon : come here . come here . it 's okay . hilary : [ sniffles ] devon : it 's okay . hilary : hey , neil . it 's me . i 've been thinking about you . neil : that 's funny . i 've been thinking about you , too . what were you thinking ? hilary : um , just , you know , how lucky i am to have a man who loves me as much as you do . neil : you do n't what it means to hear you say that to me . hilary : um ... you know , i 've been distant lately . and it 's just like you said back at the office . it 's been a difficult time for all of us . neil : yes , it has . it 's been extremely difficult . hilary : yeah . [ sighs ] so ... about valentine 's day . i 've been brainstorming , and ... there 's something special that i 'm excited to tell you about . neil : lovers ' day . yeah , i ca n't wait to hear what you have in mind . ashley : phyllis , i know that you 've been through so much . you lost an entire year of your life . but when you go through an experience like that , do n't you come to some kind of an understanding about what 's important ? i mean , did n't you reach an epiphany of some kind ? phyllis : i had an understanding , but look where it got me . i got lied to , tricked . i was just locked in a psych ward , heading to prison . victor : you do not owe her an explanation . ashley : you 're not the only one who lost something . after your accident , jack went into mourning . i mean , he basically gave up on his life . do you know that he worships you ? i do n't understand why you 're lashing out at him like this . phyllis : while i was in a coma , he had a nice warm body to mourn with . so forgive me if i am not weeping tears over him . ashley : really , phyllis ? i mean , that 's what this is about ? you 're punishing jack because he finally managed to move on with his life ? kelly : avery , hi . um ... we should talk . avery : bad idea . kelly : i know you 're probably angry at me for talking to that doctor , the one who evaluated phyllis at fairview , but he called me . avery : and you were n't about to miss an opportunity to bury my sister . kelly : i did n't press charges , okay ? that was the d.a . 's decision . i do n't want phyllis to go to prison . avery : oh , spare me , kelly . kelly : you 're an attorney . this is a criminal investigation . what are you suggesting ? that i should have lied ? avery : my sister was in a coma for over a year . she was treated with highly experimental medication , her family did n't know , and she 's still suffering the aftereffects of that . her whole world moved on without her , and , yes , she 's still struggling , kelly . you could have told all that to dr. barrett so phyllis could get the help that she needs . instead , you made it sound like she 's capable of attempted murder because you want her locked up , do n't you ? so you can go after jack . kelly : that is not true . avery : it 's sick and you 're sick and if anybody needs a stay at fairview , it 's you , lady . kelly : stop saying that . avery : oh , i seem to have hit a nerve . kelly : it 's not right . it 's not right . nikki : how could you let phyllis move into my home ? ! jack : hello to you , too . nikki : answer the question . jack : you know it was not my choice . nikki : she 's your fiancée . jack : was my fiancée . she gave me the ring back . your hubby is pulling the strings now . take this up with him . nikki : victor and i are not responsible for taking care of her complications . i want her the hell out of my house . now , if you ca n't take -- jack : what do you want me to do ? you want me to issue an ultimatum ? you want me to knock her over the head and drag her out by the hair ? which do you prefer ? nikki : i do n't really care . i just want her gone . if i 'm not making myself clear enough , i 'll do . lily : [ sighs ] i 'm so excited about our trip . cane : i can not wait to get on the plane . lily : i know . it 's been forever since we 've had time away from the kids . cane : and we are gon na make the most of this . lily : oh , we definitely will . something tells me this will be an anniversary to remember . hilary : so , it will be a group of people that we love the most traveling by private jet , showered with all of the perks . neil : mm . perks are always good . so , tell me -- who exactly is going on this trip ? hilary : uh , jill , devon , cane -- it 's their business trip -- and lily and colin and you and me , if you agree to tag along . neil : hmm . well , i -- [ clears throat ] yeah , all of us together in one place -- yeah . that sounds perfect . victor : ashley , your business plan failed . you 're obviously very upset about it . and here you are raging at poor phyllis . i suggest you take your attitude and go . ashley : i 'm not talking business anymore , victor . this is personal . it 's obvious why you 're doing this . you 're angry with jack because you think he abandoned you . now you 're throwing in with somebody like victor , who 's so happy , so willing and able and eager to torment my family and my brother any chance he gets . phyllis : this is totally not your business , ashley . ashley : no , but jack and avery are working so hard to convince the world that you 're crazy , but we both know that 's not the case , right ? we both know that you know exactly what you 're doing . jack : listen , i 've been doing some more thinking about your plan . avery : and ? jack : i still do n't like it , but ... you 're right . we have to do something . avery : [ sighs ] what changed your mind ? jack : i realized if we do n't act now , phyllis ' situation is only gon na get worse , and i 'm fresh out of better ideas . avery : i know . i am not thrilled with this , either , jack , but the thought of my sister losing her freedom over a crime she 's not responsible for -- that 's far worse . jack : agreed . avery : okay , we 'll work out the details , but this is gon na have to happen fast . jack : this probably goes without saying , but phyllis ca n't know this . she would think this is the ultimate betrayal , and it probably is . avery : we 'll do our best to keep it from her , but , jack , it 's for her own good . and do n't worry . you wo n't be alone in this .

taylor : i do n't know . to get rafe to confess , i think . he was acting so weird . it was like he was on drugs or something . and then hope told sami to get me out of there , and he -- and he -- she took me to her place . and ... she tried to convince me that i did n't see what i saw . and so i asked her . i said , `` why were you laying on the floor , then ? why were you laying on the floor , the same spot mom died , wearing her cameo ? `` nicole : she was wearing mom 's cameo ? taylor : yeah . and that 's when she finally admitted that rafe had taken it . nicole : because he pushed her down the stairs . taylor : she had to admit that he was n't innocent after that . nicole : [ sighs ] god , taylor . mom ... she was so ... she was so scared . taylor : i know . nicole : sami , she believes rafe did it ? taylor : you know , i do n't know what the hell she believes . she -- she would n't say anything , but i know that it 's -- it 's got to be awful to believe that your husband 's capable of such a thing . nicole : since he never would have done it before . taylor : before what ?

[ previously_on ] billy : what the hell are you doing here at my daughter 's grave ? you 're the reason that she 's here . billy : oh , my sweet girl . i miss you so bad . delia : [ echoing ] poor daddy . billy : i 'm hearing dee 's voice . she 's calling out for me . i do n't know what 's happening . wh - why am i here ? chloe : because you tried to kill adam and i stopped you from doing it . victoria : i 'm right here , and i 'm not going anywhere -- not without a fight . this person was created to do the things that you could n't do , that your conscious mind would not let you do . billy : no . no . that is not happening . victoria : no , it is . just admit it . billy : i can't . victoria : you tried to kill adam . you stole the car , you told him to meet you where delia was hit , and you tried to run him over ! billy : [ sniffles ] it happened . all of them happened . [ exhales sharply ] i did n't want it to be true . i just saw it in my mind so clearly -- all of it ... how i tried to set up adam ... how i lured him to the road where delia died ... how i tried to kill him . [ crying ] i did n't want it to be , vick . i did n't want it to be true . it 's not who i am . it 's not who i want to be . i do n't want to be that anymore . [ breathing heavily ] clearly , there 's something inside of me that has unfinished business with him . [ sniffles , sighs ] how could i do something like that and not know ? [ sighs ] victoria : no . remembering what happened is huge . it 's huge . it means you can start to heal . billy : it 's like there 's just something else inside of me ... takes over my mind . it 's like a whole other person ... this whole other billy that has his own free will ... his own scores to settle ... and it wants me to do bad things -- things that are gon na ruin my life ... cost me my children ... and you . victoria : you wo n't lose me . i promise . billy : [ sighs ] it 's one thing , though , when that person 's inside of me , but what if i ca n't make him go away ? victoria : billy , i want you to listen to me . do n't let yourself think that that dark part of you is gon na take over . he 's out in the open now . billy : vick , i 've seen what i 'm capable of . okay ? and it scares me . it ought to scare you , too . victoria : it doesn't . it does n't scare me . it does n't scare me one bit because i know the real billy abbott ... the man who struggled so hard after the death of delia but fought his way out of it . billy ... you 're an addict . this is what you 're gon na do . you 're gon na backslide . but this time , it 's not gambling -- it 's grief . there are so many different stages when someone loses a child , and not one of them is a straight line . billy : you think i 'd know that by now , after all the times i 've lost you . victoria : listen to me , billy . you need to confront the part of yourself that has not healed . you can do it . i know you can do it , and i will help you . i 'm right here . billy : [ sighs ] maybe i swallowed all those feelings down before . [ sighs ] the truth is i did it . i tried to kill adam . and i would have if chloe had n't stopped me , and there 's no way to know if i might not try it again . victoria : you have to just take it one step at a time , alright ? you 're forgetting you have me . i 'm your partner . that 's why i 'm here . that 's why i 'm working so hard to try to get you to remember . billy : you 're right . i need to take it easy . victoria : i know you have it in you to do this , billy . [ sighs ] when is the last time [ sniffles ] that you 've eaten ? billy : i do n't know . i do n't remember . victoria : you know what ? i think this whole stressful situation of being isolated with this leg injury has just taken it out of you . [ sniffles ] you just need a little time to come to terms with what you 've learned . & that 's all . billy : if you say so . victoria : i say so . billy : [ sniffles ] victoria : i 'm gon na go get some food , and i 'll come back . we can talk more while you eat . okay ? we 'll figure out what 's next . billy : okay . victoria : okay . [ sniffles ] so just ... sit back and relax . i 'll be back very soon . [ sniffles ] billy , you might be worried that you do n't have the strength to move through this , but ... i 'm not worried at all . i believe in you . [ door closes ] billy : [ sighs ] [ inhales deeply ] [ sighs ] [ sighs ] [ rustling ] did you forget something ? delia ? additional sponsorship billy : i dreamed about you so many times . kept you alive for me . [ voice breaking ] now here you are ... this strong ... confident young woman -- everything i wanted for you . i 'm sorry . it 's just , uh , i missed you so much . and we would have had such a great life together ... if it was n't for the accident ... if it was n't for adam . delia : is that why this is happening all over again ? when you tried to get back at adam the first time , it was understandable . i cried for you when i saw how much pain you were in . i - i longed to -- to put my arms around you and comfort you , tell you that the grief would fade in time . only i couldn't . i could n't stop you from doing the terrible things that you did . i could n't help you find a way through it . billy : but i did get through it . it was hard ... but i did . i mean , at least i thought i did . because just adam coming back into town brought up all this agony from inside of me again , like acid in a wound . [ sniffles ] he gets to live his life , and you don't . you do n't get to grow up into this beautiful woman in front of me . [ voice breaking ] and that 's all i ever wanted for you . delia : how did victoria describe it -- you backslid , like an addict would ? all that work you 'd done on yourself , gone . it 's like starting from scratch . what a great excuse to do anything you want . billy : i 'm not making excuses . i 'm not . i want to know what 's happening inside me so i can get better . delia : who tried to run adam over ? billy : i do n't know . delia : why not be honest ? you wanted the guy dead . it 's the truth , is n't it ? and since you did it because of me , how am i supposed to feel ? you think i 'd be happy that i turned my dad into a cold - blooded killer ? grief 's a powerful thing , but time has passed . adam or no adam , you 're supposed to be healed by now . you 're clearly not , so your excuse is to blame some invisible part of you that you ca n't control ? sorry , dad . if you 're capable of doing something like this years after i died , then this is who you are ... billy : sweetheart . delia : ... period . billy : sweetheart . please , dee . do n't say that . that 's what this is tonight , okay ? that 's what i 'm trying to do . victoria came here . she told me that i need to try and push the darkness out of me , okay ? that 's what i 'm doing . delia : if mom had n't pushed adam out of the way , he 'd be dead right now . [ voice breaking ] you would have finished the job . that 's the reality ... [ crying ] not some crazy alter ego who puts you to sleep and takes over your body like sybil or whoever . if mom had been even a second late , you would have committed murder . why wo n't you admit it ? billy : i was struggling . i saw writings on grandma jill 's wall -- your writing . i kept seeing you ... telling me that you wanted adam stopped . delia : oh , so now it 's my fault . great . billy : i 'm not saying that . i 'm saying that i know that i need to get better . that 's the first step , is n't it -- admitting that i 'm powerless over my hatred for adam ? delia : mom dealt with her grief . she got better . [ voice breaking ] it took her a long time , but she did it . [ crying ] but you could n't , dad . you never will . do n't you get what this means ? have n't you figured out why -- why you are n't able to touch me or give me a hug ? the other side is indescribably beautiful . when i left this world to go there , i dreamed of the day that you and mom and i would be reunited . i 'm there with katherine ... and colleen ... and grandpa john . and i prayed that when it was time , you would be there , too . billy : [ sighs ] delia : but now it 's not gon na happen . billy : [ sighs ] delia : you wo n't be able to join us ... if this is who you are ... if your heart and soul are full of malice . you wo n't be allowed in . we 'll never be together again ... billy : dee , do n't say that . delia : ... because you ... billy : dee . delia : ... can never change . billy : dee , do n't say that . dee , do n't say that , please . jack : well , look who i found -- the world 's leading screw - up , in the flesh . billy : just take it easy , okay ? i know i messed up . i know i got to fix it . at least i got to try and figure out if i 'm able to fix it . jack : let me save you some time . you can't . you 're not fixable , billy . i 've been saying this since you were a teenager . you 're never going to amount to anything . you 're the ultimate slacker . well , thanks for proving me right once again . billy : that was n't my intention , jack . jack : it never is ! you 're not a kid anymore ! you 're a grown man ! and somehow you have n't learned that actions have consequences ! you 're a walking disaster , and what 's more , i think you like it that way . it absolves you of having to rise to life 's challenges , the challenges that are thrown everyone 's way ! billy : you know , maybe you feel -- i do n't know -- warranted in this moment to rip in to me like this , but , to be honest , jack , i could really use some help , not more judgment , not more condescension -- you know , some actual concrete help , maybe with just a little bit of compassion . jack : why bother ? ! time and again , that is wasted effort . you want help ? you could n't climb your way out of an 8-inch hole with a brigade of firemen to help you ! billy : wow . you 're really going for it , are n't you ? jack : you finally had everything turned around -- your work life , your love life , your family life ! hell , even i forgave you , like so many other poor saps you 've wronged over the years , and what did you do ? you set a torch to it by letting your hate for adam run the whole show ! you called forth your worst demons , and you let them run amok . what is wrong with you ? it 's like you ca n't stand to be happy or enjoy life for more than a month or so before you have to blow the whole thing up ... undermine everything you 've worked so hard for ! why ? ! i 'll tell you why -- because you 're weak . billy : you 're wrong . jack : when you 're in prison for attempted murder ... billy : you 're wrong , jack . jack : ... you 'll get used to seeing your kids maybe on visitation day . victoria will have moved on . she 'll have found somebody who 's worthy of her , someone she can count on . billy : [ breathing heavily ] [ exhales sharply ] [ breathing heavily ] i 'm not a screw - up , jack . ask your friend adam ... the piece of garbage that cost my sweet little girl her life . what is weak about wanting to protect someone that you love ? jack : are you finished ? billy : you 're letting your friendship with adam cloud the real focus here . this is about family . you know , jack ? jack : if you gave a damn about family , you would n't be working so hard to hurt your own . you 're so obsessed with what happened to delia that you 're not even thinking about how your actions affect the two kids you have left -- and victoria ! billy : you think this is obsessed ? you think that i am obsessed , jack ? screw you , jack ! jack : wow . here 's the real william foster abbott ... the guy whose back is against the wall so he starts swinging instead of admitting who he really is , the guy who pretends to be an effective c.e.o . , while , behind the scenes , he 's losing the company yacht in a poker game , the guy who carries on a torrid affair with his brother 's wife , the guy who claims to be avenging his daughter 's death by trying to kill the father of a boy roughly delia 's age . you know something ? when i sent you to hong kong all those years ago to get you out of harm 's way , i made one big mistake -- i should never have let you come back to genoa city . your exile should have been permanent . billy : you sent me to hong kong for one reason -- because you 're threatened by me . jack : give me a break . billy : oh , come on , jack . you just be honest right now . you do n't like having a brother that is younger ... smarter ... and who can steal his wife with a snap of a finger . jack : who are you ? who are you ? ! you need to ask yourself that and answer honestly . you can only be one person , billy . are you the good guy you claim to be , or are you the slacker who has proven time and again he 's going nowhere fast ? pick one ! and be done with it . jill : billy . billy , get up . billy : mom . is this still a dream , or are you really here ? jill : well , now , the question you should be asking yourself is why are you still here ? victoria will be back soon . billy : i do n't understand . jill : oh , yes , you do . you understand exactly what i mean . if you go now and leave no trace , no one will know where you 've gone . victoria 's heart will be broken , yes , but , eventually , it 'll mend . in the long run , that 's really what 's best for her , is n't it ? billy : you 're telling me to walk away from the best thing that ever happened to me ? jill : yeah , but , see , you are the worst thing that ever happened to her , billy , so do n't hurt the poor woman any more than you already have . just go . billy : mom ... you 've always been -- jill : your biggest supporter ? that 's true . nobody was more thrilled than i was at the thought of you two reconciling . that was back when i thought you were worthy of her . but , you see [ chuckles ] i made a big mistake now that i see the real you . billy : come on , mom . please do n't say that , okay ? jill : no , no , no . i misjudged you . as a partner for that wonderful , special woman , you were a dismal failure . billy : where is she ? i need to find her . [ doorknob rattles ] jill : you ca n't leave , billy . you 've got to listen . billy : [ sniffles ] if i stay here , then you will be the one listening to me , okay ? i had a breakthrough today . i finally realized that there is a darkness inside of me that is capable of horrendous things , okay ? i - i know that , and i need to conquer it . jill : `` horrendous things `` ? wait a second . say the words -- `` i tried to kill adam again . `` billy : yes , i tried to kill adam ... again . and the person that got me to admit that was victoria , okay ? i need victoria . she is my rock , okay ? jill : you 're my son . i love you so much . you think it 's easy for me to say these things to you ? how much further are you gon na go down this endless road of fixing yourself ? i mean , will there be an end ? do you have even the slightest chance of success ? do n't answer that . i 'll tell you . no , you don't . billy : how can you say that to me ? jill : because , like jack , i have witnessed every one of your spectacular wash- outs up close . and you pick yourself up and you dust yourself off and you vow to do better . but every time , every single damn time , billy , you end up right back where you started -- in the gutter with a mountain to climb . and , oh , my baby , that 's where you are right now . billy : i do n't want that anymore . jill : yeah , yeah , yeah . billy : i do . mom , listen to me . i want to be better . jill : that 's what you say , honey . talk is cheap . but you and i both know you will never reform .

[ sniffles ] [ exhales sharply ] | this is a stand alone episode focusing on billy and his struggle with his alter ego that tried to run over adam and almost killed him . billy has a nightmare in which a teenage delia , jack , jill , adam and phyllis basically all tell him the same thing he has messed up his life again and they are all disappointed in him . they also tell billy that there is no way to fix his life and it is best that he give in to his dark side . in the dream billy fights his dark alter ego because he knows he can get better because victoria believes in him he eventually punches his dark self out and wakes up from the nightmare startled and victoria is there by his side . billy tells her he is ready to do what it takes to get well for the sake of his family . billy tells victoria if there is any good left inside of him its because of her . | <s>[INST] [ previously_on ] billy : what the hell are you doing here at my daughter 's grave ? you 're the reason that she 's here . billy : oh , my sweet girl . i miss you so bad . delia : [ echoing ] poor daddy . billy : i 'm hearing dee 's voice . she 's calling out for me . i do n't know what 's happening . wh - why am i here ? chloe : because you tried to kill adam and i stopped you from doing it . victoria : i 'm right here , and i 'm not going anywhere -- not without a fight . this person was created to do the things that you could n't do , that your conscious mind would not let you do . billy : no . no . that is not happening . victoria : no , it is . just admit it . billy : i can't . victoria : you tried to kill adam . you stole the car , you told him to meet you where delia was hit , and you tried to run him over ! billy : [ sniffles ] it happened . all of them happened . [ exhales sharply ] i did n't want it to be true . i just saw it in my mind so clearly -- all of it ... how i tried to set up adam ... how i lured him to the road where delia died ... how i tried to kill him . [ crying ] i did n't want it to be , vick . i did n't want it to be true . it 's not who i am . it 's not who i want to be . i do n't want to be that anymore . [ breathing heavily ] clearly , there 's something inside of me that has unfinished business with him . [ sniffles , sighs ] how could i do something like that and not know ? [ sighs ] victoria : no . remembering what happened is huge . it 's huge . it means you can start to heal . billy : it 's like there 's just something else inside of me ... takes over my mind . it 's like a whole other person ... this whole other billy that has his own free will ... his own scores to settle ... and it wants me to do bad things -- things that are gon na ruin my life ... cost me my children ... and you . victoria : you wo n't lose me . i promise . billy : [ sighs ] it 's one thing , though , when that person 's inside of me , but what if i ca n't make him go away ? victoria : billy , i want you to listen to me . do n't let yourself think that that dark part of you is gon na take over . he 's out in the open now . billy : vick , i 've seen what i 'm capable of . okay ? and it scares me . it ought to scare you , too . victoria : it doesn't . it does n't scare me . it does n't scare me one bit because i know the real billy abbott ... the man who struggled so hard after the death of delia but fought his way out of it . billy ... you 're an addict . this is what you 're gon na do . you 're gon na backslide . but this time , it 's not gambling -- it 's grief . there are so many different stages when someone loses a child , and not one of them is a straight line . billy : you think i 'd know that by now , after all the times i 've lost you . victoria : listen to me , billy . you need to confront the part of yourself that has not healed . you can do it . i know you can do it , and i will help you . i 'm right here . billy : [ sighs ] maybe i swallowed all those feelings down before . [ sighs ] the truth is i did it . i tried to kill adam . and i would have if chloe had n't stopped me , and there 's no way to know if i might not try it again . victoria : you have to just take it one step at a time , alright ? you 're forgetting you have me . i 'm your partner . that 's why i 'm here . that 's why i 'm working so hard to try to get you to remember . billy : you 're right . i need to take it easy . victoria : i know you have it in you to do this , billy . [ sighs ] when is the last time [ sniffles ] that you 've eaten ? billy : i do n't know . i do n't remember . victoria : you know what ? i think this whole stressful situation of being isolated with this leg injury has just taken it out of you . [ sniffles ] you just need a little time to come to terms with what you 've learned . & that 's all . billy : if you say so . victoria : i say so . billy : [ sniffles ] victoria : i 'm gon na go get some food , and i 'll come back . we can talk more while you eat . okay ? we 'll figure out what 's next . billy : okay . victoria : okay . [ sniffles ] so just ... sit back and relax . i 'll be back very soon . [ sniffles ] billy , you might be worried that you do n't have the strength to move through this , but ... i 'm not worried at all . i believe in you . [ door closes ] billy : [ sighs ] [ inhales deeply ] [ sighs ] [ sighs ] [ rustling ] did you forget something ? delia ? additional sponsorship billy : i dreamed about you so many times . kept you alive for me . [ voice breaking ] now here you are ... this strong ... confident young woman -- everything i wanted for you . i 'm sorry . it 's just , uh , i missed you so much . and we would have had such a great life together ... if it was n't for the accident ... if it was n't for adam . delia : is that why this is happening all over again ? when you tried to get back at adam the first time , it was understandable . i cried for you when i saw how much pain you were in . i - i longed to -- to put my arms around you and comfort you , tell you that the grief would fade in time . only i couldn't . i could n't stop you from doing the terrible things that you did . i could n't help you find a way through it . billy : but i did get through it . it was hard ... but i did . i mean , at least i thought i did . because just adam coming back into town brought up all this agony from inside of me again , like acid in a wound . [ sniffles ] he gets to live his life , and you don't . you do n't get to grow up into this beautiful woman in front of me . [ voice breaking ] and that 's all i ever wanted for you . delia : how did victoria describe it -- you backslid , like an addict would ? all that work you 'd done on yourself , gone . it 's like starting from scratch . what a great excuse to do anything you want . billy : i 'm not making excuses . i 'm not . i want to know what 's happening inside me so i can get better . delia : who tried to run adam over ? billy : i do n't know . delia : why not be honest ? you wanted the guy dead . it 's the truth , is n't it ? and since you did it because of me , how am i supposed to feel ? you think i 'd be happy that i turned my dad into a cold - blooded killer ? grief 's a powerful thing , but time has passed . adam or no adam , you 're supposed to be healed by now . you 're clearly not , so your excuse is to blame some invisible part of you that you ca n't control ? sorry , dad . if you 're capable of doing something like this years after i died , then this is who you are ... billy : sweetheart . delia : ... period . billy : sweetheart . please , dee . do n't say that . that 's what this is tonight , okay ? that 's what i 'm trying to do . victoria came here . she told me that i need to try and push the darkness out of me , okay ? that 's what i 'm doing . delia : if mom had n't pushed adam out of the way , he 'd be dead right now . [ voice breaking ] you would have finished the job . that 's the reality ... [ crying ] not some crazy alter ego who puts you to sleep and takes over your body like sybil or whoever . if mom had been even a second late , you would have committed murder . why wo n't you admit it ? billy : i was struggling . i saw writings on grandma jill 's wall -- your writing . i kept seeing you ... telling me that you wanted adam stopped . delia : oh , so now it 's my fault . great . billy : i 'm not saying that . i 'm saying that i know that i need to get better . that 's the first step , is n't it -- admitting that i 'm powerless over my hatred for adam ? delia : mom dealt with her grief . she got better . [ voice breaking ] it took her a long time , but she did it . [ crying ] but you could n't , dad . you never will . do n't you get what this means ? have n't you figured out why -- why you are n't able to touch me or give me a hug ? the other side is indescribably beautiful . when i left this world to go there , i dreamed of the day that you and mom and i would be reunited . i 'm there with katherine ... and colleen ... and grandpa john . and i prayed that when it was time , you would be there , too . billy : [ sighs ] delia : but now it 's not gon na happen . billy : [ sighs ] delia : you wo n't be able to join us ... if this is who you are ... if your heart and soul are full of malice . you wo n't be allowed in . we 'll never be together again ... billy : dee , do n't say that . delia : ... because you ... billy : dee . delia : ... can never change . billy : dee , do n't say that . dee , do n't say that , please . jack : well , look who i found -- the world 's leading screw - up , in the flesh . billy : just take it easy , okay ? i know i messed up . i know i got to fix it . at least i got to try and figure out if i 'm able to fix it . jack : let me save you some time . you can't . you 're not fixable , billy . i 've been saying this since you were a teenager . you 're never going to amount to anything . you 're the ultimate slacker . well , thanks for proving me right once again . billy : that was n't my intention , jack . jack : it never is ! you 're not a kid anymore ! you 're a grown man ! and somehow you have n't learned that actions have consequences ! you 're a walking disaster , and what 's more , i think you like it that way . it absolves you of having to rise to life 's challenges , the challenges that are thrown everyone 's way ! billy : you know , maybe you feel -- i do n't know -- warranted in this moment to rip in to me like this , but , to be honest , jack , i could really use some help , not more judgment , not more condescension -- you know , some actual concrete help , maybe with just a little bit of compassion . jack : why bother ? ! time and again , that is wasted effort . you want help ? you could n't climb your way out of an 8-inch hole with a brigade of firemen to help you ! billy : wow . you 're really going for it , are n't you ? jack : you finally had everything turned around -- your work life , your love life , your family life ! hell , even i forgave you , like so many other poor saps you 've wronged over the years , and what did you do ? you set a torch to it by letting your hate for adam run the whole show ! you called forth your worst demons , and you let them run amok . what is wrong with you ? it 's like you ca n't stand to be happy or enjoy life for more than a month or so before you have to blow the whole thing up ... undermine everything you 've worked so hard for ! why ? ! i 'll tell you why -- because you 're weak . billy : you 're wrong . jack : when you 're in prison for attempted murder ... billy : you 're wrong , jack . jack : ... you 'll get used to seeing your kids maybe on visitation day . victoria will have moved on . she 'll have found somebody who 's worthy of her , someone she can count on . billy : [ breathing heavily ] [ exhales sharply ] [ breathing heavily ] i 'm not a screw - up , jack . ask your friend adam ... the piece of garbage that cost my sweet little girl her life . what is weak about wanting to protect someone that you love ? jack : are you finished ? billy : you 're letting your friendship with adam cloud the real focus here . this is about family . you know , jack ? jack : if you gave a damn about family , you would n't be working so hard to hurt your own . you 're so obsessed with what happened to delia that you 're not even thinking about how your actions affect the two kids you have left -- and victoria ! billy : you think this is obsessed ? you think that i am obsessed , jack ? screw you , jack ! jack : wow . here 's the real william foster abbott ... the guy whose back is against the wall so he starts swinging instead of admitting who he really is , the guy who pretends to be an effective c.e.o . , while , behind the scenes , he 's losing the company yacht in a poker game , the guy who carries on a torrid affair with his brother 's wife , the guy who claims to be avenging his daughter 's death by trying to kill the father of a boy roughly delia 's age . you know something ? when i sent you to hong kong all those years ago to get you out of harm 's way , i made one big mistake -- i should never have let you come back to genoa city . your exile should have been permanent . billy : you sent me to hong kong for one reason -- because you 're threatened by me . jack : give me a break . billy : oh , come on , jack . you just be honest right now . you do n't like having a brother that is younger ... smarter ... and who can steal his wife with a snap of a finger . jack : who are you ? who are you ? ! you need to ask yourself that and answer honestly . you can only be one person , billy . are you the good guy you claim to be , or are you the slacker who has proven time and again he 's going nowhere fast ? pick one ! and be done with it . jill : billy . billy , get up . billy : mom . is this still a dream , or are you really here ? jill : well , now , the question you should be asking yourself is why are you still here ? victoria will be back soon . billy : i do n't understand . jill : oh , yes , you do . you understand exactly what i mean . if you go now and leave no trace , no one will know where you 've gone . victoria 's heart will be broken , yes , but , eventually , it 'll mend . in the long run , that 's really what 's best for her , is n't it ? billy : you 're telling me to walk away from the best thing that ever happened to me ? jill : yeah , but , see , you are the worst thing that ever happened to her , billy , so do n't hurt the poor woman any more than you already have . just go . billy : mom ... you 've always been -- jill : your biggest supporter ? that 's true . nobody was more thrilled than i was at the thought of you two reconciling . that was back when i thought you were worthy of her . but , you see [ chuckles ] i made a big mistake now that i see the real you . billy : come on , mom . please do n't say that , okay ? jill : no , no , no . i misjudged you . as a partner for that wonderful , special woman , you were a dismal failure . billy : where is she ? i need to find her . [ doorknob rattles ] jill : you ca n't leave , billy . you 've got to listen . billy : [ sniffles ] if i stay here , then you will be the one listening to me , okay ? i had a breakthrough today . i finally realized that there is a darkness inside of me that is capable of horrendous things , okay ? i - i know that , and i need to conquer it . jill : `` horrendous things `` ? wait a second . say the words -- `` i tried to kill adam again . `` billy : yes , i tried to kill adam ... again . and the person that got me to admit that was victoria , okay ? i need victoria . she is my rock , okay ? jill : you 're my son . i love you so much . you think it 's easy for me to say these things to you ? how much further are you gon na go down this endless road of fixing yourself ? i mean , will there be an end ? do you have even the slightest chance of success ? do n't answer that . i 'll tell you . no , you don't . billy : how can you say that to me ? jill : because , like jack , i have witnessed every one of your spectacular wash- outs up close . and you pick yourself up and you dust yourself off and you vow to do better . but every time , every single damn time , billy , you end up right back where you started -- in the gutter with a mountain to climb . and , oh , my baby , that 's where you are right now . billy : i do n't want that anymore . jill : yeah , yeah , yeah . billy : i do . mom , listen to me . i want to be better . jill : that 's what you say , honey . talk is cheap . but you and i both know you will never reform .

[ scene_break ] whitney : there you are . i 've been looking for you all over town . i just made a major decision that i 'm afraid i 'm going to regret for the rest of my life . theresa : ok , what happened ? whitney : well , it started with simone last night walking in on me and chad when we were on the couch together . theresa : oh , you guys were n't -- whitney : no , no , no , but it definitely looked like were about to , right ? we made up some lame excuse , but it really upset simone . theresa : honey , i 've told you a hundred times , you ca n't keep sneaking around . whitney : that 's exactly what chad keeps on telling me . and for the first time , i know that you two are absolutely right . theresa : ok , so , when are you going to tell her the truth ? or did you already tell her ? whitney : no . and i 'm not going to , at least not for the foreseeable future . theresa : but you just said that -- whitney : i said that i 'm not going to sneak around behind my sister 's back anymore , all right ? listen , you remember liz , right ? the woman that lives above our garage apartment ? theresa : yes , antonio 's friend . whitney : well , she was telling us this story about her sister and how she betrayed her and that it ruined her life completely . i ca n't do that to my baby sister . theresa : ok , you 're losing me , whitney . whitney : chad and i had already decided that we were just going to come clean with simone right now and tell her the truth . but then i walked into simone 's room , and there she was laying on her bed asleep with an empty bottle of aspirin next to her . theresa : no . whitney : she claimed she was n't trying to do herself in , and i believe her . but the point is , is that seeing me with chad shook her up so much that it made her do something that was potentially dangerous . and she already admitted to me that it scared her so much that she ca n't even sleep or think straight anymore . that 's how deeply the fear affected her of me and chad being together . imagine if she did know that it was true . i ca n't do that to my kid sister . i love chad with all my heart , but i love my sister , too . and i ca n't do something that could jeopardize her very life . [ scene_break ] t.c . : i guess some men can forgive their wives for anything . but if i 'm going to be perfectly honest with myself and everybody here , i could n't do it if i was married to your sister . now , i 'm sorry , guys , for being so judgmental , but your sister -- she crossed the line . liz was a victim here . liz was the victim of incest , the most heinous crime in this world . she was left home by herself with a sick and disgusting man who called himself her father . eve : but her sister did n't know that . t.c . : she would have known if liz 's sister would 've shown the least bit of compassion . when she left home , when liz tried to track her down at the nightclubs -- but , no , this lady -- hell , if you want to call her a lady -- she was too busy , too busy with her sex life , her music , and getting high . i 'm sorry , guys . i 'm sorry that i am not a bigger person about this , ok ? but i could n't do it . if i was married to your sister , i could not do it . i do n't care how much i loved her , i could n't do it . it 's no wonder that you despise her so much . ivy : we 've got her now , david . there 's no way eve can ever tell t.c . she 's liz 's sister . david : well , i 'm glad you 're happy , ivy . ivy : oh , do n't get so self - righteous . what 's good for me is good for you , and do n't forget it . t.c . : i have heard enough . i want to know who this pitiful excuse of a woman is . what kind of woman would throw her own little sister out to the wolves , only to be raped by her own father ?

[ laughter ] antonio : especially you . i told you , i 'm as good as new . you look like an angel from heaven , mama . i wish i could say the same for you , too , luis , but we both know that 's not true . hank : you were n't lying . you really do have your sight back . antonio : what , did you think that i would stay blind when i 'm married to the most gorgeous woman on earth ? no offense , beth . i 'm sure that luis thinks you 're the most beautiful woman on the planet . pilar : i knew the good lord would not take you from me when you had only just come home . antonio : well , the good lord knows not to tangle with my mama . pilar : antonio , that 's blasphemy . antonio : oh , i think i can break a few rules today , do n't you ? pilar : yes , i do . today anything is possible . today i have received my miracle . antonio : me , too . i 'm home now , and nothing 's ever going to take me away from any of you ever again . beth 's voice : now i 'll lose luis . he 'll tell antonio that he 's in love with sheridan . then i 'll lose luis forever .

[ scene_break ] theresa : so , what are you going to do ? whitney : well , i 've already done it . i did n't intend to make a choice , but it just sort of happened . theresa : ok , you 're talking in circles . what happened ? whitney : chad was already frustrated with me about not coming clean with simone to begin with . but then when i told him i think that , you know , we should take a little time apart from one another -- theresa : oh , you did n't , whitney . whitney : look , i did n't know what else to do . only now i 'm afraid i 've lost chad for good . i mean , i do n't know what else i possibly could 've done . i ca n't knowingly do something to my sister that could literally kill her . theresa : i 'm sorry . i wish i knew what to say to , you know , make you feel better . whitney : there 's -- there 's nothing that you could say . whoa . wait a second . wait a second . this is the first time in our entire lives that you have n't been bursting with romantic advice for me to take . normally , you 'd be telling me to hang in there and that love will conquer any problem , that true love ca n't be torn asunder , and all that jazz . what 's wrong ? theresa : who said anything was wrong ? whitney : theresa , it 's me . theresa : you think that you made a mess out of things with chad ? well , i made a bigger mess . not only does ethan hate me , but i could go to prison for trying to kill his mother . [ scene_break ] grace : you 're going to stand here and tell me this girl that we 've known her whole life actually pushed ivy down the stairs in her wheelchair ? sam : well , someone unlocked the brake lever . grace : sam , that 's just ridiculous . i mean , you know when theresa confessed to killing julian , you refused to believe her then . so how can you so quickly jump to the conclusion that she 's guilty of the same crime now ? sam : you know , the fact is i do n't know what theresa is capable of anymore . i mean , at her tender age , she 's gone through more than most people go through in a lifetime . i mean , for heaven 's sakes , grace , she was almost executed for julian 's so - called murder . she was tricked into marrying him and having his child , when the only man she 's ever really loved is ethan . and all through this , ivy 's been her strongest , most vocal adversary . i would say theresa has motive . grace : motive ? sam , come on , that is not fair . you know , all of our lives have been turned upside down the last couple years . sam : well , you can say that again . nothing 's the way that it 's supposed to be , especially between us . grace : sam , do n't say that . sam : no , no , no , it 's true . i mean , we used to talk about anything and everything . grace , i feel that -- gosh , i 'm losing you . i feel like our marriage is slipping right through our fingers . grace : i do n't know what 's happened to everybody 's relationships . i mean , luis and sheridan , and charity and miguel . it 's -- sam : well , thank god there 's still one solid relationship in this town . i mean , t.c . and eve -- i mean , thank god for them .

[ scene_break ] whitney : what are you talking about ? who 's saying that you tried to kill ivy crane ? theresa : ethan , chief bennett , and of course , ivy herself . whitney : well , that 's crazy . i mean , it 's not like you guys are pals or best friends or anything , but nobody could possibly think that you hate her enough to kill her . theresa : well , see , that 's the problem , whitney , because it looks like i 've got all the motive in the world . you know , remember a few nights ago when i kicked ivy out of the house ? whitney : yeah , and you and i both know that you did her a favor . thanks to you , she 's living in chief bennett 's house . theresa : right . and i tried to explain to ethan that ivy manipulated the whole thing , but he would n't believe me . so i set a trap to expose her as the scheming home wrecker she really is . whitney : what kind of trap ? theresa : i came here and i apologized for my hasty actions , and i invited her to come back to the mansion in front of ethan . whitney : brilliant . you knew that she would decline to stay near chief bennett , and ethan would know what she was up to . what 's the problem ? theresa : ivy figured out what i was up to . my plan backfired , whitney . you know , she said that she would love to come back to the mansion . i would n't believe it . not only was i about to get stuck with ivy , but it made ethan positive that i was wrong about her from the start . whitney : oh , boy . theresa : anyway , ivy was upstairs , and i got into it with her about what she had done . she admitted everything . she loved how she turned the tables on me . you 'd never see anyone more smug and self - satisfied . and all of a sudden , she went crashing down the stairs , right into the bennett living room . i mean , she almost died , whitney . in fact , she did die , and they brought her back to life . and now everyone thinks that i pushed her . whitney : oh , my god . theresa : you know , at first i thought it was an accident , ok , but now i 'm sure that it was n't . when we were up at the top of the stairs arguing , i got nervous that her wheelchair would roll , so i made sure that the brake was on . and then less than a minute later , ivy yells out for no reason , `` do n't do it , theresa , `` and then , she went rolling backwards down the stairs . whitney : well , i do n't get it . theresa : she must 've released the brake on her wheelchair herself . whitney : why would she do that ? she could 've killed herself . theresa : see , that 's how desperate ivy is to get sam back and make me look bad . you know what , whitney ? she pulled it off because i tried to tell ethan and sam bennett what happened , but with my track record -- whitney : you poor thing . theresa : you should 've seen the way ethan looked at me -- like i was some disgusting bug that should be stepped on . i mean , he 's been angry with me before , whitney , but he 's never looked at me like this . ivy 's definitely going to pull this off . whitney : no , no , that 's impossible . you are innocent . theresa : what jury is going to believe me ? ok , a woman who has made false statements under oath when i was convicted of julian 's so - called death ? or ivy , a true bitch on wheels but a pillar of the community , daughter of the late state governor , in a wheelchair these days , no less . i 'm dead meat , whitney .

[ scene_break ] ivy : you know , i am dying to know . why are you sticking around , when any moment eve could blurt out the truth about your nasty , nasty togetherness all those years ago ? do n't tell me you 've actually developed a conscience . julian : you do n't even understand the word . ivy : oh , that 's a good one coming from you . julian : if you must know , i feel a tremendous responsibility for the torture eve is suffering -- unlike you and liz , who seem all too eager to exploit it . ivy : do you think that liz made up that awful story about her father ? julian : no . she seemed genuinely torn up . but in her case , she has a personal reason for wanting to see eve in pain , unlike you . you 're just a heartless monster . has n't eve been through enough without you digging in the knife even further ?

[ scene_break ] eve : i brought you this . i thought it might make you feel better . liz : the only thing that 's going to make me feel better is for you to feel the same pain that i do , to see your life destroyed the same way mine was by you . eve : i did n't know , liz . liz : that our father molested me ? eve : if i had known , i would have done everything in my power to rescue you . you must know that . liz : the only thing i know is what happened , that you deserted me in my time of need . a total stranger would have shown more compassion than that . eve : liz , that 's not fair . t.c . : are you warm enough , liz ? liz : yes , t.c . thank you . you 're very lucky to have a man like t.c . in your life , eve . eve : i know that . liz : better not let him too far out of your sight . he 's way too good of a catch . eve : i need to speak to ivy . excuse me .

's office is looking to investigate enchantment . boyd : yeah , i heard . but erica assures me she had nothing to do with it , and , well , i believe her . lena : and so do i . which means that someone from inside enchantment has been misusing company funds . and as c.f.o . , it 's my job to find out who . boyd : would n't you also like to know why ?

erica : no , of course not . i absolutely agree . chris : yeah , well , i 'm sure whatever falling - out you two had , you 'll patch it up . erica : no . no , not this time . this was different . you see , jackson asked me to marry him and i turned him down . chris : you turned him down ? erica : yes . and -- well , he just -- he does n't want to listen to the reasons why . i think he just wants to make me feel responsible for his heartache . chris : you know , i 'm -- i 'm surprised you said no . erica : of course i would say no . i mean , it was n't very long ago that -- that you and i were -- chris : yeah . i remember . so -- so what happened when you turned him down ? erica : well , he was very angry and he was very hurt , and so he lashed out , and he said that if he could n't have me the way he wanted to have me , then i could n't have him at all . and no matter what we 've been to each other , he just severed all ties . chris : why -- why are you telling me all this , erica ?

boyd : i do n't know . i only know who erica suspects . lena : who 's that ? boyd : michael cambias . lena : oh . well , he did make a move on enchantment . boyd : and failed . lena : well , that does n't make sense , though . the lawsuit is against fusion . is n't that his girlfriend 's company ? boyd : do you really think a small detail like that matters to a man like cambias ? i mean , let 's face it , he 's tried to pit erica and kendall against each other since he got to pine valley . lena : be fair , boyd . it 's not as though erica and kendall need cambias for that . boyd : look , do n't kid yourself , lena . cambias has done more than his share to stir the waters , believe me . lena : he 's also managed to create a wedge between you and kendall , yes ? boyd : look , i know where you 're going with this , but this has nothing to do with me and kendall . lena : boyd , it 's obvious you still have feelings for her . i can tell just by the way you talk about her . it 's how i knew i never stood a chance with you . boyd : you know what ? i also care about erica and this company , both of whom have been very good to me . lena : and kendall has n't ? boyd : lena , i just want to find who 's responsible for this , make sure they 're punished , that 's it . lena : well , as soon as i find out who 's behind this money transfer , we 'll know if cambias is to blame or not . boyd : good . you do n't mind if stick around , do you ? see what you find out ? lena : no , no , not at all . chris : i just want to say , you 're not as alone as you think you are . erica : thank you . chris : and -- and for what it 's worth , i sometimes find myself picking up a phone because i want to -- want to call you . erica : well , that 'll pass , i 'm sure , in time . chris : yeah . and i 'm sorry that things have n't worked out for you and jackson . erica : oh -- you are such a bad liar . chris : what ? erica : you did n't want anything good to happen between jackson and me . who are you trying to kid ? chris : that 's true , but i 'm just trying to be polite . erica : anyway , that 's probably for the best . because what jackson and i had -- it was very , very hard to even define . you know that . chris : yes , i do . erica : and it really interfered with a lot of situations unnecessarily . chris : like ours ? erica : yeah . but who knows ? i mean , i also ca n't imagine my life without jack in it . and i know that 's not what you want to hear . chris : erica , all right , it does n't matter what your answer is right now . i mean , it 's over between us . erica : i am so truly sorry . chris : yeah . so am i , sweetheart . so am i . what ?

[ jack laughs ] anna : well , what do you need ? have you asked yourself that ? jack : sure , i have . you bet i have . i -- i thought i needed her , too , you know ? but maybe what i needed , actually , was a challenge or maybe i 'm just a masochist . anna : you do n't honestly believe that 's what 's kept you around all these years , do you ? jack : no . anna : no . see ? jack : no , i do n't . because when we were together , it was just -- anna : amazing . jack : yeah , it was amazing . it was amazing . but it was also amazingly painful . anna : maybe the reason it 's so difficult to love someone completely is because it 's so rare . maybe that 's why we struggle , and we give them chance after chance . i mean , what 's the alternative ? a life of misery and scotch ? jack : hey , do n't knock the scotch . anna : i know . single malt ? never . jack : you know , for a long time , i thought it was me . i thought i just was n't enough for her , but lately i 've realized that 's not it . it 's just that she -- for some reason , she just ca n't allow herself to do it . you know , she just ca n't allow herself to give herself to me , so i 've decided to find somebody , you know , who can . i mean , i -- i want somebody in my life . i want somebody to love , so i 'm going to go out and find that person . anna : good . good luck . jack : hmm . thank you . anna : and i envy her , whoever she is . she 's a lucky lady . i mean that . jack : well , are n't you so kind to say so ?

anna : no , never . never . erica : lena . i thought that was you . lena : erica . erica : i saw the light on from outside . are you working on the project ? lena : yes , but i 'm having very little luck in working out exactly how enchantment money ended up funding the lawsuit against fusion . erica : well , as you said , you would know more when the banks open . believe me , i have full confidence in your abilities . lena : thank you . erica : boyd , i 'm so glad that you 're here . boyd : i was just here to give lena any support she may need . erica : well , that 's wonderful . that 's wonderful . but now that you are here , may i have a word with you , please ? boyd : oh , absolutely . erica : privately , if you do n't mind ? boyd : oh , sure . erica : excuse us , lena . erica : boyd , i know why lena is here , but why are you here -- really ? boyd : i wanted to see what she would come up with . erica : you think that she is still somehow involved ? boyd : it 's just a feeling . i ca n't explain it . erica : has she ever asked you about the formula ? boyd : lena ? nothing specific or out of place , no . erica : well , i found her with bianca earlier . boyd : you did ? erica : yes , i did . they were actually in lena 's hotel room , so i know that they 're together now . boyd : and you 're worried ? erica : i want bianca to be careful . i mean , bianca is so open . boyd : right , and lena 's not . i 've already tried to warn bianca about that . erica : you have ? boyd : yeah . erica : what did she say ? boyd : well , you want the polite version ? mind my own business . erica : uh - huh . yes , well , that 's just about what she said to me , too . boyd , i swear , if that woman hurts bianca or this company , i will kill her . i will kill her with my own bare hands . so , lena , have you made any progress ? lena : yes . erica : well , what -- what did you find ? lena : erica , i 'm afraid everything that 's happened between fusion and enchantment is all my fault . greenlee : wait a minute . whoa , whoa , whoa , whoa ! girlfriend , where are you going , and why are you so happy ? maggie : me ? kendall : yes . you have a disgustingly sick grin on your face . greenlee : would n't have anything to do with that guy you came in here with , would it ? maggie : maybe just a little . kendall : oh , i knew it ! i knew it . greenlee : no , i knew it . i told you . maggie : henry is playing with the band tonight . greenlee : his name is henry ? maggie : yes . and can you please be really supportive ? because he 's so nervous , ok ? greenlee : even if he stinks ? maggie : especially if he stinks . and he wo n't because he 's really , really good . greenlee : oh ! cute and talented -- not bad . kendall : oh , you guys are so cute together . really , you are . either that or this drink is making me sick . maggie : thank you . greenlee : so , is it love ?

anna : being out , with people . david : yeah . i kind of forgot that there was a whole other world out there apart from diapers and feedings and lullabies . anna : me , too . i 'm so happy that you 've given us this night to focus on each other . i really appreciate it . david : yeah , that 's great , but i want to be able to see the phone , ok , just in case -- anna : please , david , you do n't need to see it . you 'll hear it if it rings . david : over the band ? anna : the band 's not playing right now . come on , just can we have a couple of hours to ourselves , just for us ? david : oh , anna . leora is a part of us , all right ? anna : i know that . but there 's more to us than just being her parents . david : i know . i know that . anna : do you ? because i feel like i have n't had your full attention for weeks now and i need to reconnect with you . i really need it . david : you always have that . you know it . anna : do i ? david : yes . anna : maybe a little reminder every now and again would be nice . david : look , i 'm sorry , all right ? just because we 're here does n't mean that i 'm going to stop worrying about leora . anna : she 's fine . she is . she 's with the nurse . and if anything should happen -- which it wo n't -- she knows where to reach us . please , be here with me . hello ?

[ applause ] lena : look -- someone 's managed to access our network and move funds from our account into the plaintiff 's account . boyd : but that 's a pretty obvious money trail , is n't it ? erica : do you know who 's responsible ? lena : well , luckily , as boyd says , this man was n't very good at covering his tracks . his name is barton phillips . erica : well , who is that ? lena : he 's a consultant from an outside accounting firm . i had to let him go about a month ago . i 'm afraid he did n't take it very well . boyd : so this barton phillips , he 's behind this whole lawsuit ? lena : it looks like it . boyd : and he set all this up because he was fired ? erica : well , actually , boyd , i have seen this kind of thing in the past . i mean , not this extreme , of course , but it happens . lena : look , erica , i was the one who fired him . this is my fault . erica : no , really , lena , do n't -- do n't do that . do n't blame yourself , please . listen , can you download this and give me a printout ? i 'd like to take it to the district attorney 's office and show it to them in the morning . lena : certainly . i can do it straightaway . erica : wonderful . then maybe jackson will drop the ridiculous charges against me for somehow being involved with this bogus lawsuit and go after the man who is really responsible . michael : we need to talk -- now . greenlee : go , henry ! kendall : whoo ! man : you got yourself one hell of a fan club , kid . that 's henry chin on the guitar tonight , folks , as if you could n't tell . [ cheers and applause ] man : not bad for a blues virgin , huh ? anna : i thought he was very good . david : yeah , he 's not half - bad . anna : what are you doing ? david : the nurse has n't called . i just want to check to make sure leora 's ok . anna : of course she has n't called , everything 's fine . david : i 'll be back in two seconds . man : we 're going to slow things down now , change the mood a little . what do you say , henry ? you up for it ? all right . david : we got to go . leora has a fever . come on . anna : she does ? oh , my goodness . well , leave some money . [ music plays ] [ music plays ] [ gunshot ] [ next_on ] kendall : i want to join forces with you . anna : i signed the consent forms . leora 's scheduled for surgery . erica : jackson is missing . jack : help me . someone help me . | everyone seems to be at sos tonight . kendall and greenlee are having a great time , drinking their sorrows away . jackson is drinking alone and is approached by anna . she encourages him not to give up on erica . flanders is quietly nursing a drink , keeping his eye on jackson . later , jackson tells kendall that trey has been moved to a minimum security prison . he also tells kendall that he and erica are not engaged . david comes in and anna is glad to see he finally agreed to a night out . henry is asked by the mc to fill - in for a missing blues guitarist that was supposed to play with the band that night . henry hesitates at first , but maggie encourages him to take the opportunity and show his talent to the world . he finally gets up on stage and is amazing . everyone there enjoys his music . henry and maggie celebrate his success by going back to maggie 's place . after calling the babysitter , david finds out that leora has a fever and rushes out with anna . erica sees chris at the bar and says hello . she lets him know that she had a falling out with jackson when she turned down his proposal . although chris is glad to hear it , he politely offers erica his sympathy . they both agree that although they were very happy for a while , things are now over between them . erica kisses chris good - bye and goes back to enchantment . chris tries to call flanders , hoping that he wo n't make any stupid moves . at enchantment , boyd catches lena working on erica 's computer . lena informs him that she was asked by erica to find out who paid for fusion 's lawsuit . erica comes in and tells lena she has full confidence that she will get to the bottom of things . she talks to boyd alone , telling him that she 's a little suspicious of lena . she says that if lena ever hurts bianca , she will kill her with her own hands . meanwhile , lena sneaks a cd into erica 's computer and seems to be covering her tracks . she later tells erica that she has tracked down the paper trail . she says she had recently fired an accountant named barton phillips . he did n't take the firing too well , and it seems that he 's the one behind the whole conspiracy . erica asks for her to print out the details so she can later show it to jackson . lena later goes to see michael . she is seen going into michael 's apartment by kendall . jackson is the last one to leave sos . just as he comes out , he gets shot and falls to the ground bleeding . | <s>[INST] [ previously_on ] carlos : how is it someone capable of such kindness can be so cold ? kendall : you ruined us . this is about your cheating and your lying and your ridiculous need to control everybody . erica : liza colby was just here and she has accused me of bankrolling that lawsuit against fusion . boyd : it was lena , was n't it ? flanders : you say the word and jack montgomery 's a dead man .

[ greenlee and kendall laugh ] greenlee and kendall : cheers ! kendall : drink up . greenlee : so -- mmm . kendall : mmm . greenlee : mmm . who do you think she is ? kendall : who do i think who is ? greenlee : the woman michael 's sleeping with . kendall : ok , if this is your way of -- of cheering me up -- greenlee : no -- come on , come on , come on . come on , i 've been to therapy . it 's good to talk about these things . kendall : ugh . greenlee : pretend i 'm in a hammock . kendall : what ? whatever . you know what ? look , i even told you -- i told you that he would n't even admit that he was sleeping with somebody . he would n't . and i heard him on the phone with her . greenlee : do you think it 's someone we know ? kendall : someone we know ? greenlee : mm - hmm . kendall : no . no . you know what ? it does n't even matter . the fact is he was sleeping with somebody else . that 's all i need to know . greenlee : oh . kendall , kendall , kendall . kendall : oh , do n't even start with me . greenlee : a man like michael -- what spoon he uses to stir his coffee with is just as important to him as the knife he stabs in your back . kendall : yeah , well , i -- i did n't even see the knife coming , so -- greenlee : no , no , no -- my point is that michael chose you for a reason . kendall : mm - hmm . greenlee : and it was n't your quick wit . kendall : go to hell . twice . greenlee : no . you 're -- and i hate to admit this -- but you 're a woman with major connections in this town . and if boyd is right and michael is behind this bogus lawsuit , then there 's a reason he chose this other woman , too , whoever the hell she is . lena : you startled me . boyd : i 'm sorry . you thought you were alone ? lena : yes , i did , but i 'm always happy to see you . you know that . boyd : so , what are you doing here ? lena : oh , i 'm just doing a job for erica . how about you ? you usually keep such long hours at the lab ? boyd : it happens every now and then . lena : still working on your breakthrough formula ? boyd , is something the matter ? boyd : i do n't know . is there ? lena : are you -- are you upset that i 'm seeing bianca ? boyd : well , i did n't know it was official , but no . you made your feelings clear about the both of us . whatever you -- whatever choice you made , well , it 's up to you . lena : thank you for being so understanding . i know bianca considers you to be a close friend . boyd : yeah , well , my only concern has always been that bianca not get caught in the middle . lena : but those are my concerns . boyd : good . so you left her tonight to come here for -- for work ? lena : oh , yes . there was just something that could n't wait . boyd : oh , right , like the lawsuit against fusion ? lena : you know about that ? boyd : erica told me . lena : well , it seems quite serious . it looks like the d.a . 's office is looking to investigate enchantment . boyd : yeah , i heard . but erica assures me she had nothing to do with it , and , well , i believe her . lena : and so do i . which means that someone from inside enchantment has been misusing company funds . and as c.f.o . , it 's my job to find out who . boyd : would n't you also like to know why ? chris : thank you . i was going to say hello . erica : well , what stopped you ? chris : um -- you were on the phone . erica : how are you ? chris : doing all right . erica : good . chris : you ? erica ? erica : well , not that i would expect you to particularly care , but i am going through rather a difficult time . chris : oh , yeah , i heard something about a connection between enchantment and a lawsuit against fusion . erica : yes , yes . that and -- jackson and i had a terrible falling - out . chris : oh . and -- erica : i know you blame him for everything that happened between us . chris : yeah , well -- no , no , no -- not entirely , erica , no . i mean , but looking to -- to point -- someone to finger at right now does n't make any sense , does it ? erica : no , of course not . i absolutely agree . chris : yeah , well , i 'm sure whatever falling - out you two had , you 'll patch it up . erica : no . no , not this time . this was different . you see , jackson asked me to marry him and i turned him down . chris : you turned him down ? erica : yes . and -- well , he just -- he does n't want to listen to the reasons why . i think he just wants to make me feel responsible for his heartache . chris : you know , i 'm -- i 'm surprised you said no . erica : of course i would say no . i mean , it was n't very long ago that -- that you and i were -- chris : yeah . i remember . so -- so what happened when you turned him down ? erica : well , he was very angry and he was very hurt , and so he lashed out , and he said that if he could n't have me the way he wanted to have me , then i could n't have him at all . and no matter what we 've been to each other , he just severed all ties . chris : why -- why are you telling me all this , erica ? because i -- erica : i -- chris : i do n't know what makes you think that i really care about what goes on between you and jackson . erica : i told you , i know that you do n't care . i told you that . i began by saying that . i just guess that i -- i feel very comfortable talking to you . i -- i really feel comfortable confiding in you . i 'm sorry . i do n't have the right to do that anymore . i 'm sorry . chris : yeah . look , do n't -- do n't -- do n't go beating yourself up about it . erica : all right , i wo n't . enjoy your drink . chris : yeah . he 'll come around . trust me . erica : no . no , i 've lost him . i 've lost everyone . lena : well , it seems that the lawsuit was designed to undermine erica and her company . boyd : well , it 's inventive , that 's for sure . lena : who do you think is behind it ? boyd : i do n't know . i only know who erica suspects . lena : who 's that ? boyd : michael cambias . lena : oh . well , he did make a move on enchantment . boyd : and failed . lena : well , that does n't make sense , though . the lawsuit is against fusion . is n't that his girlfriend 's company ? boyd : do you really think a small detail like that matters to a man like cambias ? i mean , let 's face it , he 's tried to pit erica and kendall against each other since he got to pine valley . lena : be fair , boyd . it 's not as though erica and kendall need cambias for that . boyd : look , do n't kid yourself , lena . cambias has done more than his share to stir the waters , believe me . lena : he 's also managed to create a wedge between you and kendall , yes ? boyd : look , i know where you 're going with this , but this has nothing to do with me and kendall . lena : boyd , it 's obvious you still have feelings for her . i can tell just by the way you talk about her . it 's how i knew i never stood a chance with you . boyd : you know what ? i also care about erica and this company , both of whom have been very good to me . lena : and kendall has n't ? boyd : lena , i just want to find who 's responsible for this , make sure they 're punished , that 's it . lena : well , as soon as i find out who 's behind this money transfer , we 'll know if cambias is to blame or not . boyd : good . you do n't mind if stick around , do you ? see what you find out ? lena : no , no , not at all . chris : i just want to say , you 're not as alone as you think you are . erica : thank you . chris : and -- and for what it 's worth , i sometimes find myself picking up a phone because i want to -- want to call you . erica : well , that 'll pass , i 'm sure , in time . chris : yeah . and i 'm sorry that things have n't worked out for you and jackson . erica : oh -- you are such a bad liar . chris : what ? erica : you did n't want anything good to happen between jackson and me . who are you trying to kid ? chris : that 's true , but i 'm just trying to be polite . erica : anyway , that 's probably for the best . because what jackson and i had -- it was very , very hard to even define . you know that . chris : yes , i do . erica : and it really interfered with a lot of situations unnecessarily . chris : like ours ? erica : yeah . but who knows ? i mean , i also ca n't imagine my life without jack in it . and i know that 's not what you want to hear . chris : erica , all right , it does n't matter what your answer is right now . i mean , it 's over between us . erica : i am so truly sorry . chris : yeah . so am i , sweetheart . so am i . what ? erica : i just miss hearing you call me that . [ erica sighs ] erica : listen , you have to promise me something . please , that you be happy . chris : i was happy . erica : i was too . i was -- we were very happy there for a little while , were n't we ? chris : a long while . chris : ok . erica : yeah . well , it was good seeing you . chris : you were always easy on my eyes . erica : listen , i hope that -- i mean , maybe it 's too much to hope and maybe too much to ask for , but i really hope that sometime , sometime in the future , that -- that we can be friends again . chris : so do i . erica : night . maggie : why wo n't you consider playing ? henry : well , in case you forgot , i do n't exactly perform well under pressure . maggie : ok , playing guitar is not the same as taking an o - chem test . this is your chance to show everybody how unbelievably talented you are . henry : come on , do n't look at me like that . maggie : ok . it 's your decision . you know ? i wo n't say anything about it . henry : you 're going to be disappointed in me if i say no , are n't you ? maggie : ok , a , that 's impossible . and , b , i just do n't want you to be disappointed in yourself , that 's all . henry : ok , fine , i 'll do it . maggie : really ? henry : yeah , for you . dan : yes . jack : i understand what you 're saying , anna , i do . but i 've spent most of my adult life pursuing erica , trying to convince her that she needs me . [ jack laughs ] anna : well , what do you need ? have you asked yourself that ? jack : sure , i have . you bet i have . i -- i thought i needed her , too , you know ? but maybe what i needed , actually , was a challenge or maybe i 'm just a masochist . anna : you do n't honestly believe that 's what 's kept you around all these years , do you ? jack : no . anna : no . see ? jack : no , i do n't . because when we were together , it was just -- anna : amazing . jack : yeah , it was amazing . it was amazing . but it was also amazingly painful . anna : maybe the reason it 's so difficult to love someone completely is because it 's so rare . maybe that 's why we struggle , and we give them chance after chance . i mean , what 's the alternative ? a life of misery and scotch ? jack : hey , do n't knock the scotch . anna : i know . single malt ? never . jack : you know , for a long time , i thought it was me . i thought i just was n't enough for her , but lately i 've realized that 's not it . it 's just that she -- for some reason , she just ca n't allow herself to do it . you know , she just ca n't allow herself to give herself to me , so i 've decided to find somebody , you know , who can . i mean , i -- i want somebody in my life . i want somebody to love , so i 'm going to go out and find that person . anna : good . good luck . jack : hmm . thank you . anna : and i envy her , whoever she is . she 's a lucky lady . i mean that . jack : well , are n't you so kind to say so ?

[ cell phone chimes ] wyatt : yeah , and now your sexy c.e.o . video is on the verge of being a global success . nicole : but our older clients or more conservative clients may want something a little more buttoned down . wyatt : yeah , which is why nicole and i came up with some proposals , if you want to hear them . steffy : uh , you both are amazing , but i 'm gon na have to hear that later . my grandfather wants to see me . wyatt : everything okay ? steffy : yeah . i 'm sure he just wants to talk . nicole : give him my best . wyatt : yeah . we 'll just reschedule with pam . we 'll pick up later . steffy : okay . all right . nicole : i could not do what you 're doing . wyatt : what ? what , v.r . ? come on . what are you talking about ? you 're a natural . nicole : i mean working hour after hour , day after day , with the person who broke your heart . wyatt : i 'm your supervisor , and i 'm not sure that it 's appropriate to talk about this at work . nicole : okay . got it . wyatt : yeah . it 's okay . nicole : i can just tell it 's a labor of love for you . wyatt : [ sighs ] nicole : it 's got to be difficult knowing steffy 's going home to liam every night . wyatt : nicole ? nicole : okay . wyatt : seriously ? nicole : got it . also not appropriate . wyatt : yeah . nicole : sorry . wyatt : [ chuckles ] eric : did you say something to him ? steffy : to dad about quinn ? no . eric : still , your willingness to work with quinn could easily have a domino effect on the rest of the company . that 's terrific . steffy : she fell , and dad looked after her . it 's common decency . is that what you wanted to talk to me about ? eric : no , no . no , it 's not , although it does fall into the heading of `` common decency . `` you are a married woman , right ? steffy : technically . i 'm in the process of divorcing . eric : and if you were to hear of a married woman who was shacking up with her husband 's brother , what would you think ? steffy : granddad . eric : hypothetically . steffy : i would think it 's none of my business . eric : no , you would n't . you would think it was shameful . and you 'd be right . liam : you 're not wrong . it 's that come - hither look she gave you . it sends chills down my spine . i do n't have to tell you why that is , but ... how do you get quinn to give you more than a smile and a wink ? she 's crazy . she 's not stupid . ridge : no , she 's not . but she also ca n't help but betray anyone who 's ever put faith in her . that includes my dad . i 'm just speeding up the process . quinn : knock , knock . are n't you gon na say , `` who 's there ? `` quinn : why are you staring ? oh ! my ankle . you know , your father is one of the great artists in the history of fashion and , little did i know , in ankle wraps . [ chuckles ] what ? ridge : you really should learn how to knock . quinn : oh , i 'm sorry . i was too busy eavesdropping . oh , pam and charlie had the most epic fight . she 's like , `` i am woman ! hear me roar ! `` why ? did i interrupt a meeting of my own personal anti - fan club ? ridge : no . no . we -- we -- we were doing an internet search on wholesale poison suppliers , and did you know -- what is it , half a million hits ? liam : yeah . yeah . ridge : results ? what are they called ? liam : i do n't know . but why are we buying in bulk ? we only need a little bit . quinn : you know , i once had a boyfriend -- well , he was n't really a boyfriend , but he put arsenic in my gumbo . i think it was arsenic . best night 's sleep i ever had . liam : scratch `` arsenic . `` ridge : okay . quinn : you think i should put a sock over this ? ridge : you know , i could help you with that . i know how to treat a woman , all the way down to her feet . nicole : how about a day in the life -- follow steffy around the building with some cameras ? most people do n't know what c.e.o.s do . wyatt : yeah , well , most c.e.o.s do n't even know what c.e.o.s do . nicole : you do n't like it . wyatt : no , no . i do . nicole : you 're still mad at me . wyatt : no . no . it 's just you got me thinking . how do you really know when it 's over with someone that you just really thought you 'd go the distance with ? you say you 're over zende , but how do you really know ? nicole : you know that it 's over ... when it hurts too much for it not to be . wyatt : so , basically , the more hurt you can take , the longer it 'll last ? nicole : something like that . steffy : why is this coming up now ? eric : well , it 's coming up now because i did n't want to bring it up when i was so estranged from all of you from so long . i did n't want to subject myself to a lot of abuse from people who thought i had lost my mind . steffy : i never thought that . eric : yes , you did . steffy : no , i did not . i think you 're strong and generous . and i judge every man i meet by the standard of you . i was just scared that quinn was using you for her own purpose . eric : and have those fears resolved now ? steffy : this new concern about my private life -- is that coming from you , or is it coming from quinn ? eric : it came up . has she asked me to talk to you about it ? no , she has n't . look , i 'm saying this to you now from me . your private life is not private anymore . steffy : but you know quinn wants me back with wyatt . that 's not a secret . eric : the fact of the matter is i 'd like to see you give your marriage a second chance , too . steffy : what about what i want ? what about what makes me happy ? eric : what about the promises you made ? steffy : [ sighs ] eric : and as far as liam goes , you know , i 'm no big fan of his anymore -- not since he showed up right before christmas , borderline abusive . steffy : to you ? eric : i realize that he and my wife have a ... conflicted past , and he could have pressed charges , but he did n't . i think it 's unfair of him to show up now and start throwing around accusations . look , wait until your divorce is final . steffy : [ sighs ] maybe i should have done it before , but ... it 's too late now . eric : no , it 's not . it 's never too late to align your values with your behavior . move out of liam 's house . move out tonight . quinn : i do n't know if this is helping . it did n't hurt before , but it does now . ridge : why do n't you put your foot up here and have an expert have a look at it ? quinn : you can do that ? i 'm so glad you have something to fall back on if this whole fashion - designer thing does n't work out for you . ridge : thank you . i 've never taken a class , per se , but i almost watched a video , so ... liam : yeah . uh , i 'm -- i 'm gon na -- i 'm gon na go back to work . quinn : oh , i 'm sorry . i did n't mean to interrupt . you 're in a hurry . liam : no , no , no . no . i 'm sure ridge will fill me in later . quinn : ooh . oh , you 're serious ?

nicole : she 's fierce . wyatt : that she is . nicole : and smart , funny , honest . wyatt : yep . nicole : and you know what else i see ? wyatt : what ? nicole : she relies on you -- a lot . no one else 's opinion matters more than yours . wyatt : what are you saying , exactly ? nicole : well , whatever feels like it 's over between you two ... maybe it 's just a chapter , not the whole story . steffy : i promise you i 'll think about what you 're saying . eric : not the response i was hoping for . steffy : granddad , i was crashing at thomas ' loft . please do n't ask that of me again . i 'm finally at home . i 'm finally sleeping in my own bed . eric : your proper bed is with the man you pledged to love and honor , for better or for worse . steffy : is that really fair , really ? eric : i believe in marriage . i believe in divorce . i 've had occasion to , anyway . i 'm not criticizing you on that count . but do you think it 's really ... fair , in your heart of hearts , to humiliate the person you loved enough to marry by going home to another man 's bed every night for the whole world to see ? steffy : and yet a man can do it ? dad did . unless i 'm mistaken , so did you . eric : then be better than we were . you may think that a marriage in limbo is just a technicality , but i can assure you it 's more than that to wyatt . do n't make a show of being with another man until your divorce is final . move out tonight . steffy : i should go . eric : oh , steffy , one more thing . i spoke to payroll this morning . you 're not drawing a paycheck . steffy : well , yeah . i thought i 'd just leave it to you . eric : that 's a mistake for you now , too . always strive for clear expectations on all sides . if you do n't value yourself , nobody else will . i 'm starting you at $ 1 million a year , with bonuses for performance . steffy : i - i ... i do n't know what to say . eric : i ca n't put a price on how much it means to me to have somebody in that job that i can trust to follow my guidance . i look down the vista of the years , and i think of the things i 've done , the people i 've known , the children i 've raised and loved ... and you know what i think ? i think you 're the best of all of us . ridge : all right . come on . do n't bite me . quinn : i told eric how nice you were being to me , how civilized . ridge : you know what that was ? low blood sugar . i get that sometimes . quinn : he thinks maybe you 're coming around . are you ... starting to see that maybe i 'm not so hateful ? ridge : i think you 're psychotic and criminal but not hateful . quinn : come on , ridge . i know you like to tease me , but just tell the truth . i mean ... do n't you see that i may have some qualities that might be endearing to your father ? ridge : i think any man can see those qualities . what they ca n't see are all the reasons why i hate you so much . quinn : do you ever think about ... ridge : think about what ? quinn : ... combing your hair ? ridge : ah . you want to run your fingers through it , do n't you ? quinn : mm , i do n't think there 's enough hand sanitizer in the building . ridge : we got plenty of hand sanitizer , and that 's not what that is . i can wash the cooties out later . quinn : [ chuckles ] ridge : you know what this reminds me of ? quinn : what ? ridge : that sexual - harassment video we all have to watch when we first get here . try to remember something -- you 're my boss now . take it easy .

ridge : you know , i could help you with that . i know how to treat a woman , all the way down to her feet . nicole : how about a day in the life -- follow steffy around the building with some cameras ? most people do n't know what c.e.o.s do . wyatt : yeah , well , most c.e.o.s do n't even know what c.e.o.s do . nicole : you do n't like it . wyatt : no , no . i do . nicole : you 're still mad at me . wyatt : no . no . it 's just you got me thinking . how do you really know when it 's over with someone that you just really thought you 'd go the distance with ? you say you 're over zende , but how do you really know ? nicole : you know that it 's over ... when it hurts too much for it not to be . wyatt : so , basically , the more hurt you can take , the longer it 'll last ? nicole : something like that . steffy : why is this coming up now ? eric : well , it 's coming up now because i did n't want to bring it up when i was so estranged from all of you from so long . i did n't want to subject myself to a lot of abuse from people who thought i had lost my mind . steffy : i never thought that . eric : yes , you did . steffy : no , i did not . i think you 're strong and generous . and i judge every man i meet by the standard of you . i was just scared that quinn was using you for her own purpose . eric : and have those fears resolved now ? steffy : this new concern about my private life -- is that coming from you , or is it coming from quinn ? eric : it came up . has she asked me to talk to you about it ? no , she has n't . look , i 'm saying this to you now from me . your private life is not private anymore . steffy : but you know quinn wants me back with wyatt . that 's not a secret . eric : the fact of the matter is i 'd like to see you give your marriage a second chance , too . steffy : what about what i want ? what about what makes me happy ? eric : what about the promises you made ? steffy : [ sighs ] eric : and as far as liam goes , you know , i 'm no big fan of his anymore -- not since he showed up right before christmas , borderline abusive . steffy : to you ? eric : i realize that he and my wife have a ... conflicted past , and he could have pressed charges , but he did n't . i think it 's unfair of him to show up now and start throwing around accusations . look , wait until your divorce is final . steffy : [ sighs ] maybe i should have done it before , but ... it 's too late now . eric : no , it 's not . it 's never too late to align your values with your behavior . move out of liam 's house . move out tonight . quinn : i do n't know if this is helping . it did n't hurt before , but it does now . ridge : why do n't you put your foot up here and have an expert have a look at it ? quinn : you can do that ? i 'm so glad you have something to fall back on if this whole fashion - designer thing does n't work out for you . ridge : thank you . i 've never taken a class , per se , but i almost watched a video , so ... liam : yeah . uh , i 'm -- i 'm gon na -- i 'm gon na go back to work . quinn : oh , i 'm sorry . i did n't mean to interrupt . you 're in a hurry . liam : no , no , no . no . i 'm sure ridge will fill me in later . quinn : ooh . oh , you 're serious ? ridge : yeah . quinn : oh , no , no , no . that 's okay . i think you 've done more than enough . ridge : really ? quinn : mm - hmm . ridge : and here i thought we were just getting started . quinn : [ sighs ] nicole : after working more closely with her , i like steffy . i did n't know if i would . wyatt : why ? nicole : she 's fierce . wyatt : that she is . nicole : and smart , funny , honest . wyatt : yep . nicole : and you know what else i see ? wyatt : what ? nicole : she relies on you -- a lot . no one else 's opinion matters more than yours . wyatt : what are you saying , exactly ? nicole : well , whatever feels like it 's over between you two ... maybe it 's just a chapter , not the whole story . steffy : i promise you i 'll think about what you 're saying . eric : not the response i was hoping for . steffy : granddad , i was crashing at thomas ' loft . please do n't ask that of me again . i 'm finally at home . i 'm finally sleeping in my own bed . eric : your proper bed is with the man you pledged to love and honor , for better or for worse . steffy : is that really fair , really ? eric : i believe in marriage . i believe in divorce . i 've had occasion to , anyway . i 'm not criticizing you on that count . but do you think it 's really ... fair , in your heart of hearts , to humiliate the person you loved enough to marry by going home to another man 's bed every night for the whole world to see ? steffy : and yet a man can do it ? dad did . unless i 'm mistaken , so did you . eric : then be better than we were . you may think that a marriage in limbo is just a technicality , but i can assure you it 's more than that to wyatt . do n't make a show of being with another man until your divorce is final . move out tonight . steffy : i should go . eric : oh , steffy , one more thing . i spoke to payroll this morning . you 're not drawing a paycheck . steffy : well , yeah . i thought i 'd just leave it to you . eric : that 's a mistake for you now , too . always strive for clear expectations on all sides . if you do n't value yourself , nobody else will . i 'm starting you at $ 1 million a year , with bonuses for performance . steffy : i - i ... i do n't know what to say . eric : i ca n't put a price on how much it means to me to have somebody in that job that i can trust to follow my guidance . i look down the vista of the years , and i think of the things i 've done , the people i 've known , the children i 've raised and loved ... and you know what i think ? i think you 're the best of all of us . ridge : all right . come on . do n't bite me . quinn : i told eric how nice you were being to me , how civilized . ridge : you know what that was ? low blood sugar . i get that sometimes . quinn : he thinks maybe you 're coming around . are you ... starting to see that maybe i 'm not so hateful ? ridge : i think you 're psychotic and criminal but not hateful . quinn : come on , ridge . i know you like to tease me , but just tell the truth . i mean ... do n't you see that i may have some qualities that might be endearing to your father ? ridge : i think any man can see those qualities . what they ca n't see are all the reasons why i hate you so much . quinn : do you ever think about ... ridge : think about what ? quinn : ... combing your hair ? ridge : ah . you want to run your fingers through it , do n't you ? quinn : mm , i do n't think there 's enough hand sanitizer in the building . ridge : we got plenty of hand sanitizer , and that 's not what that is . i can wash the cooties out later . quinn : [ chuckles ] ridge : you know what this reminds me of ?

[ door slams ] victor : you make this ridiculous declaration and walk out on me ? what 's the matter with you ? nikki : it was n't ridiculous . i meant every word of it . you 're no longer a part of this family . victor : i think you need to calm down and we talk about it quietly . nikki : no , no , no , no . this is non - negotiable . i 'm not gon na change my mind . never again . those days are over . nicholas and victoria agree . the world will continue to see a close , loving family , but when we do n't have to put on a show , the reality will be very different . you 'll be alone , on your own . victor : you finished ? nikki : oh , no . i 'm just getting started . [ tuning guitar ] tessa : what 's up , reed ? reed : hey . um , my machine head 's busted , so i 've been messing with it , but it 's not working . tessa : huh . reed : um , what are you doing ? tessa : oh , i was just getting some tea before our lesson . reed : oh , man . i 'm sorry . i totally lost track of time . tessa : eh , no , that 's all right . uh , here . let me see . i 've had this happen a few times . i know a life hack that might work . reed : awesome . tessa : so , all right . reed : hey , kendall . kendall : happy birthday , reed . reed : thank you . kendall : it 's hella cool you got your license today . let 's go for a ride ! mariah : thank you for the late lunch . it was delicious . devon : of course . of course . this is as far as i go . mariah : oh , stop . it 's fine . devon : i 'm just not up for another round with hilary . mariah : just do n't let her intimidate you , all right ? devon : it 's not even that . it 's just every time she sees me , it puts her in a mood , and i get to leave , where you have to stay here and deal with her , so i really just do n't want her ruining the rest of your day . hilary : okay , a little higher . mariah : wait , what is she up to now ? hilary : [ sighs ] no , no , a little to the left . that 's perfect . perfect . so , what do you think ? jordan : it 's hot . but not as hot as those more revealing pics that we took that night . hilary : [ chuckles ] oh , you mean the pictures that are never seeing the light of day ? jordan : now , that 's too bad . i 'm glad i got a private showing , though . mariah : hilary ? what the hell ? you 're changing the name of the show ? ! hilary : rebranding . and part of that is highlighting the key draw for the audience . as you can see , it 's me . mariah : according to who ? ! you ? ! hilary : according to focus groups , research , ratings . mariah : so that 's it ? i 'm out ? hilary : no , you are not out . okay , you are a valuable member of this team . and this poster reflects that . see ? there 's your name right there . mariah : the only thing that that poster reflects is that i am way less important than you ! hilary : this is what 's best for the show . mariah : bull . hilary : in this business , things move fast , okay ? you have to be reactive . chelsea newman 's interview , it went national . that gave us credibility with all of the major news outlets . they requested some footage and sound bytes of me , and i want to capitalize on that . mariah : what happened at kevin and chloe 's wedding was my story . i brought it to you ! hilary : a bit of a revisionist history , do n't you think ? i had to drag that story out of you . and when chelsea wanted to go on air , you had reservations . mariah : so this is punishment . hilary : i do n't think you understand who calls the shots here . i do . i own the show . scott : chloe 's father was a plumber . katherine chancellor was her godmother . she went away to boarding school , changed her name , and worked in new york . phyllis : apparently she 's an expert in blowing things up . you doing all this research for your journal ? scott : you know , it started out as a journal entry , but , you know , now it 's more notes for the book . phyllis : you 're writing a book ? scott : yeah . victor newman 's biography . phyllis : what ? he 's writing a tell - all ? scott : well , i 'd like to think of it as a well - written , in - depth , and touching account of one man 's life . but i 'm biased . phyllis : and you 're helping him ? oh , you 're gon na need a bigger bottle . scott : wait , i thought he used to be your father - in - law . phyllis : oh , yeah , a couple times . scott : so is that why i 'm sensing tension ? phyllis : oh , uh , something like that . scott : you know , victor and i talked about adam 's death before the truth came out , so just have to sit back down with him and see how his feelings might have changed now that he knows it was murder . phyllis : oh , you think he 's got feelings ? uh , even a new heart would not make him human . he 's the biggest and baddest of all the baddies . scott : can i quote you ? phyllis : [ chuckles ] no . that is strictly off the record . scott : is there anything i can do to get you to go on the record , get your take on victor ? [ sighs ] phyllis : [ sighs ] like the subject of your book so fondly says , `` not gon na happen . `` scott : [ chuckles ] nick : i mean , chelsea wanted to start a website and then go on gc buzz regularly and hire a p.i . to find chloe . i told her that paul and his guys will find her . she can not get obsessed with this . victoria : did she buy it ? nick : yeah , i guess . but , i mean , i felt like a real ass , you know , lying to her . victoria : well , technically , nothing that you said to her was a lie . nick : well , i was definitely withholding the truth , and relationships need to be built on honesty . victoria : you 're honorable , nick . you are . keeping this secret just means protecting your loved ones . nick : you know , lying to chelsea 's bad enough , but to my kids and to abby ? victoria : well , if it gets unbearable , you can always come over here . we got each other to lean on and mom . nick : better keep that fridge stocked with beer , then . victoria : what 's going on in your head ? nick : it 's just more stuff with chelsea . i mean , dad summoned her earlier to talk to him . victoria : oh . preemptive strike . nick : i guess . she said he was sweet and seemed , you know , crushed by what chloe did , but we know the truth . victoria : he was trying to make sure that chelsea did n't know about his connection to chloe . nick : yeah . he 's so two - faced . like father , like son , huh ? victoria : no . this is different , nick . nick : you know , we can tell ourselves that , but if chloe ever gets caught , all these people that we lied to can call us self - serving hypocrites , and they would be right . nikki : the sleeping arrangements of last night were not a one - time thing . you 'll need to have your things moved from the master . the rest of the time , you will stay in your wing or go to the office or the club or wherever the hell you want to go . i really do n't care as long as you steer clear of me . the staff have already signed nondisclosure agreements . they can not legally reveal what goes on in this house . and nicholas and victoria , well , we certainly do n't have to worry about them . victor : i know i 've hurt you . but i think you 're overreacting now . nikki : you ca n't overreact to what you 've done , victor . you brought a psychopath into our lives . her original victim was adam , but who knows what can happen ? victor : do n't you think i know that ? it has been haunting me ! i 'm upset about this whole thing , just as you are ! you rehashing it now rips up old wounds ! i do n't need that ! i need your help to heal it ! nikki : you need me to stand by you , to forgive and forget like i always have ? victor : right . nikki : i 'll be damned if i will make that mistake again . for once in my life , i am putting my family first , not you . victor : you 're being very unreasonable . nikki : i 'm doing what i have to do to ensure the happiness of my family . oh , to that end , you are not invited to reed 's birthday party tonight . victor : what the hell are you talking about ? nikki : the days of you calling all the shots are over . victor : you do n't tell me that i ca n't go to my grandson 's birthday party ! [ door closes ] nikki : well ... faith : i 'm home ! is everything okay ? reed : wait , so , like , how 'd you know about my license ? kendall : um , you posted an update . i gave the thumbs up . reed : i have n't checked my page in awhile . kendall : i check it all the time . reed : you check my page all the time ? kendall : what ? no . i meant mine . let 's go to henderson park . there 's a carnival in town , so there 's tons of rides . reed : that sounds fun . kendall : yay ! reed : problem is i do n't have wheels . kendall : well , that 's a total suckfest . reed : i 'm sorry to disappoint you . kendall : i was kidding . um , maybe we can go another time . who knows ? maybe we 'll have something else to celebrate other than your birthday . reed : like what ? kendall : like my uncle signing you to a multi - million - dollar music contract . reed : it 'd be super sweet . um , did you send him the link to that video of me performing ? kendall : i promised i would . reed : did he get back to you ? kendall : not yet . but he 's swamped all the time . i 'll check in with him soon . you 're too good not to be a star . reed : thank you . kendall : birthday selfie ! [ cell phone rings ] kendall : ooh . bad timing , zoey . i 'll hit decline so we can take the pic . reed : no , no , no . answer it . i want to tell her about my license . kendall : fabu . what up , girl ? hold on . reed wants to get at you . reed : hey . i got my license . i know . you should have seen the instructor . yeah , are you still planning on coming to my party tonight ? awesome . cool . then i 'll see you soon . yeah , here she is . she wants to talk to you about , like , dresses or something . kendall : hey . tessa : hey . ooh ! fixed for now , but you should get it replaced . reed : yeah , no , i was planning on it . tessa : uh , happy birthday , by the way . reed : thank you . tessa : um , are you ready to head over your grandma 's , or do you need more time with your girlfriend ? reed : oh , no . kendall 's not my girlfriend . she 's just a friend . tessa : okay . reed : thank you . i 'll see you at the party . kendall : ca n't wait ! maybe you should n't come tonight . because reed 's mom 's gon na be there , and , well , you know she hates you . totally . it 's all about reed . you should walk in there like you own the place . who cares what that wicked witch thinks ? victoria : i have n't had to lie to billy yet , but i 'm sure that day is coming . he 's not gon na let this go . nick : the stakes are just as high for him as they are for chelsea . victoria : i 'm sure that he would love to have this kind of artillery to use against dad . nick : he ca n't sit on something like that , not that big . victoria : maybe . maybe if i explain how it 's gon na affect johnny and katie . nick : are you wavering ? victoria : no . nick : vick . victoria : i 'm not . nick : he ca n't know . victoria : i know . [ sighing ] oh , god . this is so frustrating . nick : easy for you to say . you can avoid dad . i live on the same property as him . victoria : oh , my gosh . i forgot faith lives in the same house with dad . that must be killing you . nick : at least mom 's there . but who knows how long it 's gon na be till she cracks and starts getting us to , you know , try and forgive dad . victoria : i do n't know . i have never seen mom more determined to hold dad accountable for his actions . nick : i hope she makes him suffer . it 's about time somebody teaches dad a lesson . nikki : here you go . your favorite . faith : thanks , grandma . nikki : how was school ? hey , did n't you have a math quiz today ? faith : mm - hmm . i only missed two questions . nikki : good job . faith : [ chuckles ] nikki : homework tonight ? faith : no , but i want to start working on my essay . i 'm really excited about it . nikki : oh , yeah ? victor : what 's your assignment ? faith : i get to pick someone and write about why i admire them . guess who i picked ? victor : who ? faith : you , grandpa . victor : me ? faith : mm - hmm . victor : that 's so sweet of you . faith : honey , i 'm sure that your teacher meant somebody from history , somebody who made an impact on the world . faith : she said we could write about anybody . and i want to write about grandpa . victor : i 'm happy to hear that , my sweetheart , okay ? i 'm very touched . now , just know that your grandpa is far from perfect , but i try hard . faith : you can help me with the essay if you want . my teacher said it was okay . victor : i would love to . okay ? faith : may i be excused ? the drama club is having a video chat to talk about the school play . nikki : yes , of course you may . victor : okay , my darling . nikki : i suggest that you find a way to change her mind about that essay she has to write . victor : listen to me . you may have poisoned nicholas and victoria against me . i 'll be damned if i allow you to poison my grandchildren against me . you got it ? ! hilary : i developed the new format and direction of the show , which means that i 'm entitled to rebrand in a way that , yes , it may put me front and center . devon : hilary , come on . this rebranding is not for the good of the show , all right ? this is classic hilary . you 're not satisfied , and you 're reaching for more when you already have it all . jordan : hilary 's finally living up to her potential now that she does n't have you holding her back . shame when a man 's threatened by his lady 's drive and ambition . devon : you should put him on payroll . you can never have too many yes men around you . hilary : okay , that 's enough , all right ? i do n't have time for this . hire a photographer . show me a mock - up of a publicity poster that works for you . but remember this -- i get final approval . happy ? mariah : ecstatic . hilary : now , i would suggest jordan , but i think he 's a bit pricey for you . mariah : you know what ? this is n't about publicity posters . it 's not even about a new name for the show . the only reason that you pulled this power play is because i am dating devon . scott : so you do n't have to drink from the bottle and i can have some . phyllis : aww , you think i 'm gon na share this ? you 're so cute . scott : you know , victor gave me permission to , uh , interview friend and foe , so there 's really no reason for you to fear retribution -- oh . oh -- if you participate . phyllis : go ahead . i 'm not afraid of victor , but , you know , he has a lot of other foes you can interview , like chloe , if they ever find her . scott : now , there 's a mystery even sherlock will have trouble solving . phyllis : though i have a theory . scott : you do ? phyllis : i do . it 's a secret . come here .

[ chuckles ] mishael morgan ( hilary ) : my favorite moment was when lily dumped the ice water on hilary . it was freezing . hilary : aah ! lily : get your skinny butt out of bed , 'cause we have some things to settle . morgan : another great moment for bryton and me was devon and hilary 's wedding . devon and hilary finally got to say what they wanted to say to each other in front of everyone . james : she was quite pregnant at the time . i wish you guys could have seen in real life how big that bouquet really was to hide that belly . devon : i did n't know you knew how to sign . kay : i learned because i wanted to talk to my grandson . james : devon losing his hearing was a very powerful storyline , and i finally was able to hear without the use of an external cochlear implant . that was probably one of my favorite moments . devon : [ chuckles ] i can hear . lily : wait , how -- how is it ? is it clearer than before ? devon : yeah . neil : yeah . devon : [ laughs ] neil : and i want to thank god for you . yeah , you , this guy right here for proving that you are gon na keep my daughter safe and you 're gon na keep her loved . cane : come here , baby . lily : [ laughs ] daniel goddard ( cane ) : the wedding we had at greystone , which was set in france . it was just a treat . absolutely treat . lily : cane ! goddard : when you stand back and you look at cane and his relationship with lily , that girl for him is the be all and end all . and no matter what happens , he 'll fight for her . morgan : it 's amazing that we 're celebrating 11,000 episodes . james : it 's an incredible milestone . khalil : thank you so much ... goddard : ... for being part of this journey , for being part of our lives ... khalil : ... for watching the show . james : we all do this show and we 're all here because of you . st. john : from all of us at `` young and the restless , `` thank you . i love you . goddard : now please join us for this episode ... khalil : ... of `` the young and the restless . `` paul : okay , so this is great . not only does adam escape , but his wife and child give our guys the slip . they 're probably with him right now . this is unbelievable . why do n't you go home and get some rest ? dylan : i 'm fine . paul : you 've been at this all night . dylan : i know . i said i 'm fine . paul : okay . then where are we ? dylan : well , uh , we know that chelsea took off through the secret passageway , but where she went -- nobody knows . paul : so you 've obviously checked the security cameras in the building ? dylan : yeah , and all the traffic cameras in the area , but there 's nothing yet . paul : what about her car ? dylan : car is in the usual spot . nobody saw chelsea and connor get into another car . obviously there 's other modes of transportation . i mean , they got to get to the airport , the bus , or train stations , but i doubt that they would do it on foot . paul : [ sighs ] so , what did victor give her , anyway ? an invisible cloak ? dylan : yeah , well , i questioned victor , and he denied everything . paul : of course he does . you do n't believe that any more than i do . listen , dylan , the clock is ticking . we need to get a lead on chelsea 's whereabouts before adam disappears completely . dylan : all right . i 'm on it . paul : oh , these two . okay , i 'm just going over your statement . honestly , it , uh , kind of reads like a bedtime story . kevin : [ sighs ] i 'm sorry it was n't to your liking . chloe : hey , we 've been here for hours . can we please go home ? i would like to get back to my daughter . kevin : at least we know she 's in good hands . but yeah , finishing up would be great . paul : you know what , kevin ? i am just getting started . sharon : i come with sandwiches and coffee . dylan tends to forget to eat when he 's busy . paul : he 's in there . he just needs a break in the case . sharon : stop what you 're doing and eat . dylan : [ sighs ] sharon : what was that ? did you find a lead ? devon : dad , can you believe what 's going on with chelsea and adam newman ? she 's on the run with her 3-year - old son . i wonder where the hell they 're going . and was it planned or did it just happen ? hey . neil : hey . devon : this family drama not exciting enough for you ? neil : unfortunately , my son , i got my own family drama right now . [ clears throat ] devon : you 're still upset about the cards and letters from your mom ? neil : yeah , you 're damn right i 'm upset . hilary had no right to give lily those letters . as a matter of fact , she had no right to fish them out of the trash in the first place . if i choose not to have contact with that woman , then that 's my business . lily : actually , you 're wrong about that , dad . it 's not just about you . it 's about the entire family . adam : hey . chelsea : hi . i 'm making sure i was n't dreaming . adam : you 're not dreaming . i 'm right here . we 're free ... ish . chelsea : [ chuckles ] adam : pretty soon that plane is gon na take us to our whole new life . no one will be able to find us , no matter what . chelsea : this is it . it 's really happening . it 's all gon na work out this time . neil : hilary completely betrayed my trust by hanging on to those letters . devon : look , she was your wife . neil : so what ? devon : so she cared about you . neil : not for long . devon : regardless of how your marriage ended , i know for a fact that she always wanted what was best for you . and she was scared that you 'd regret pushing your mom away , so she gave lily those letters and cards , hoping she would convince you to reach out to her . lily : and as much as i hate to admit it , hilary had the right idea . neil : what 's going on ? what -- what do you mean ? what did you do ? cane : we did what you should have done a long time ago . lily : we went to see your mother . chelsea : hey . adam : hey . guy 's looking good . chelsea : my big man . adam : you know , we 're not too far away before a fancy , little plane 's gon na land , take us away to our whole new life . chelsea : mm - hmm . connor : it do n't happen all ! chelsea : yeah . and the plane 's gon na take us to our new home , and we 're gon na find you a new school and make you some new friends . adam : yeah , we 're gon na do all that important stuff . chelsea : yeah . adam : the most important thing you need to know is daddy 's never gon na have to leave again . all right ? your grandpa victor 's got this whole little excursion planned down to the minute , i can tell you that much . chelsea : what time does the plane land ? adam : later tonight . chelsea : i just wish we could go now , you know ? adam : i know what you 're talking about , but i kind of trust my father on this one , you know ? i know it sounds crazy , but he 's come through so far , right ? he 's got nikki working with him , so ... chelsea : yeah , i know . and i do n't think she would hurt our family . i really do n't . adam : i do n't think so , either . you guys , look at that . i mean , there is literally not a cloud in the sky . it 's like , uh -- what do you call it ? it 's like a -- like an omen , you know ? chelsea : an omen ? to wear sunscreen ? adam : well , that 's always a good idea , but i was thinking more along the lines of , you know , getting this whole family thing started , you know ? get out there , do something as a family . you know , we , uh , we got the equipment . we could ... we could easily just go fishing . chelsea : [ chuckles ] adam : i 'm sorry . what are you laughing about ? what 's so funny ? chelsea : [ chuckles ] nothing . adam : you do n't think i know how to fish ? chelsea : i think you can do anything . adam : i 'm a master fisherman , okay ? i catch lunkers , babe . big ones . chelsea : lunkers means big ones . adam : yeah , no . i know . big lunkers . come on , boy . let 's go . we 're gon na go fishing . we 're gon na show your mom what it 's all about . we 're gon na catch a shark . chelsea : [ chuckles ] adam : you 're gon na be scared when the fish are bigger than you . come on . paul : so , do you really expect me to believe that you and chloe were in the same apartment as chelsea when she slipped out with connor and you do n't know anything ? kevin : yes , because it 's true . chloe : i was the one who discovered that chelsea was gone . i mean , if i was trying to aid and abet , why would i tell dylan ? does n't that defeat the purpose ? kevin : not to mention if anyone has a reason not to give adam a happily ever after , it 's chloe . paul : you know , maybe the happy ending was for chelsea . kevin : or maybe you 're grilling us because you do n't feel comfortable grilling anybody else . paul : oh . what are you trying to say , kevin ? kevin : nikki was there right before chelsea disappeared . why are n't you harassing her , or do old friends get the benefit of the doubt ? paul : right now everyone is a potential accessory . chloe : okay , well , we did what you asked , paul . please . paul : all right , you can go . but if you have happen to know where chelsea is meeting adam , it does n't do anybody any favors to keep it a secret . victor is most likely behind the escape , which means it will end badly . right ? kevin : right . sharon : well , it must have been something , dylan , but you closed the screen so fast , i did n't get a chance to look at it . was it about chelsea and connor being on the run ? because that 's all over the news . dylan : yeah , i just -- you know , i 've been staring at surveillance footage and traffic cameras for hours . i really have n't been able to confirm anything . sharon : well , you 're not gon na be any use to paul in an investigation if you 're falling asleep at your desk , so come on . take a walk with me . get some air . and that 's an order , detective . dylan : uh , well , i can , uh , fight my dad , but i know better than to fight you . sharon : you 're a smart man . lily : cane and i tracked down lucinda using the return address on the letters . she 's in an assisted living facility . devon : close by ? lily : yeah , just an hour away . devon : you knew about this and you never said anything ? neil : wow . some things are better left in the past . lily : not family , dad . neil : okay , yeah , right . you had no right to interfere , lily . lily : i disagree . you have been nursing this wound since you were a kid . it 's time to let it heal . neil : okay , listen to me . `` a , `` it was n't your call . `` b , `` you should have asked me first . cane : yeah , but you would have said no . neil : [ loudly ] yeah , you 're damn right i -- [ quietly ] you 're damn right i would have said no . it 's -- it 's my life . lily : she is our grandmother and the twins ' great - grandmother . and not only is she alive , but she 's close by . she has a right to know about us and for us to know about her . neil : oh , man . this is rich . why do n't you take her some flowers , show her the photo albums , and listen to all of her excuses ? i want nothing to do with that lady ! lily : actually , we already tried that . neil : you -- you -- you -- you went to -- you went to the facility ? ! cane : they would n't let us see her 'cause we 're not immediate family . devon : did they say anything about her , how she 's doing or ... ? lily : just that she 's sick and she never has any visitors . cane : and they seemed surprised we even existed . lily : are you really okay with that , dad ? are you prepared to let your mother die alone ? chloe : hi , mom . we thought that you would be here with bella . esther : i know , honey . i 'm so sorry , but we just lost track of time . did n't we , honey ? 'cause we were having so much fun , right ? we went to the park and we fed the ducks brown rice bread . chloe : i 'm sure the birds loved the extra nutritional value . but could you please just give bella normal food like , i do n't know , a banana or a pear ? nothing weird , please ? esther : uh , okay . chloe : it 's too late , is n't it ? did you give her quinoa for breakfast or something ? esther : maybe . but we 're doing something else now . we 're fingerpainting . do n't worry , honey . i 'll bring her to chelsea 's later this afternoon , okay ? chloe : okay . give her a hug for me . love you . i 'll see you later . bye . kevin : oh , all good ? chloe : yeah . i just miss her . it has n't even been a day . kevin : that 's sweet . your daughter means the world to you . chloe : yeah . i mean , she 's everything to me . she changed my whole world . kevin : look , i know i pushed dylan to find chelsea and connor because i did n't want them to end up in some kind of showdown with the cops , but the more i think about it , maybe nick was right . dylan should back off and let adam and his family get away . mariah : you ca n't be serious . kevin : yes , i am . mariah : why would dylan do that ? it 's his job to find criminals and bring them to justice . kevin : adam is n't a criminal in this case . he was framed and locked up for a crime he did n't commit . is that justice ? mariah : no . it sucks . but the fact is , adam attacked a prison guard . he nearly choked the guy to death , and now a hard - working family man is in a coma . i do n't know about you , but i feel like somebody should answer for that . dylan : just do n't know what to do . i got a photo from a traffic camera , visual evidence of chelsea putting connor into a car . and if i follow that lead , it could take me right to adam . sharon : so what 's stopping you ? dylan : nick . [ sighs ] made a pretty good argument for staying quiet . sharon : nick wants you to let adam go free ? dylan : i know , right ? that 's why i 'm taking it so seriously . not only is there no love lost between those two guys , but nick is so furious with victor , he wants him nailed for what he did to adam . sharon : and with all that , nick 's willing to let victor skate so that adam can live a new life . wow . i 'm impressed . it must have taken him a lot to get there . but there 's more , is n't there ? dylan : yeah . yeah , when i went to question victor , i just got this feeling that nikki was n't totally up front , that she 's involved in this somehow . sharon : so then pursuing this investigation could mean bad things for nikki . dylan : just when things have settled down for her . you know , she 's happy , she 's back on the wagon , she 's back with her husband . but i have -- i have a responsibility to the public . you know , i want to live up to paul 's standards . i want -- i want to be what he expects me to be . what the hell am i supposed to do ? adam : see , these are some of the things that we 're gon na be able to do , father / son things like fishing . so , uh , all right . first thing you do -- i mean , how hard could it be , right ? first thing you do is you take the spinny thingie dingie and you ... you put the ... that 's not ... the way . i know . anyway , we 'll just worry about that later . anyway , you get that guy out there like that , okay ? and then you throw the ... this is a little bit more difficult than i thought . anyway , listen , here 's the point , all right ? you and i are gon na have plenty of time to figure out fishing , horseback riding , anything you want to do , all right ? we 're gon na be together forever as a family . family is important . connor : fishing ! adam : we 're gon na go fishing , all right ? daddy 's got to figure it out first . family is important , okay ? it 's the most important thing . and that 's what i want to tell you . it 's gon na be you , me , and mommy , like a super team , all right ? neil : you think because she 's sick all should be forgiven ? lily : no , dad , but you can at least hear your mother out . neil : it 's too late for that , lily . devon : why ? lily : it 's never too late , and it 's obvious that she cares . neil : really ? if she cared so much , why did she abandon me , huh ? lily : do n't you think her trying to contact you is saying that she 's sorry ? neil : i told you . it 's too late . now , i 'm -- i 'm not happy that she 's sick . but i can tell you this . if my mother 's alone , she caused this herself . lily : well , that went well . cane : you gave it your best shot . lily : it 's your turn . devon : you think he 's gon na listen to me ? lily : he 's not listening to me . maybe you can get through to him . was that a huge mistake ? cane : you 're just trying to get through to your father . lily : i feel like instead of helping things , i made it worse . mariah : could i do a coffee to go , please ? chloe : sticking adam behind bars wo n't bring that guard back to his family . instead it 's just gon na take another father away from his son , which is just gon na cause more pain and more misery . mariah : i thought you were all about pain and misery where adam was concerned . i mean , you did use him as a human speed bump . kevin : mariah . mariah : well , i 'm wrong ? kevin : look , she has worked really hard to get to a place of forgiveness . i 'm very proud of her . i 'm also very protective . mariah : you do n't say . kevin : and i think it would be best for all of us if adam were gone and never came back . mariah : he would be gone if he was in prison ! kevin : for 10 years ! and he would find a way to get out sooner . if he is off the grid forever , chloe and bella can live their lives . mariah : here ? kevin : yes , here . without the constant reminder of the daughter that was taken from her ! there is justice in that also ! sharon : this is n't your fault . you know that , dylan . dylan : not all of it , no . but i did play a role in helping adam get convicted for a crime that he did n't commit , a crime his father set him up for to teach him a lesson . sharon : there are no depths to which victor wo n't sink . dylan : you know , the part that does n't make any sense is -- is him helping chelsea and connor because , i mean , if they successfully go on the run , victor -- he 'll never see his son and his grandson again . sharon : i 'm surprised that adam even trusts victor . at this point , how he could feel he can ever trust him again ? dylan : i think he felt like he had no choice . i mean , i would -- i would make a deal with the devil himself if it was the only way to stay with you and sully . you know , i could n't imagine spending 10 years cut off from you guys when my son needs me the most . no way . it 's no way . sharon : luckily that 's not gon na happen , 'cause sully and i are n't going anywhere . dylan : i do n't know . i do n't think i can look the other way . if i do n't turn over this lead , i 'm gon na be violating my oath , not to mention helping victor get away with everything . sharon : you 'll be helping a family stay together . deal with the devil , remember ? nick was right . let them go . neil : hey , thanks a lot . devon : hey , man . you mind if i join you ? neil : not if you 're here as lily 's mouthpiece . devon : well , you do know that she is just trying to help you , right ? neil : yeah , well , how helpful is she when she expressly goes against my wishes ? as a matter of fact , she goes behind my back and tries to visit you- know - who . devon : you - know - who has a name . lucinda is a person just like you and me with a heart and soul and a whole life story , man . neil : yeah , i already know the story . devon : i do n't know the story . neil : i told you what she did . devon : yeah , but there 's always two sides to everything , though , right ? neil : you do n't believe me , do you ? devon : no , that 's not what i 'm saying at all . i just -- she might have a different take on what happened . you know ? but hey , even if you 're right and she did abandon your family the way you said , there 's always this little thing called forgiveness . i mean , you and i are a living example of that . if we can get past all the things we did to each other , all the hurt and lying and deceit and pain caused , you know , i really think that you could do the same thing with your mom . sharon : you 've been so quiet . dylan : [ sighs ] look , i get what nick 's talking about . i really do . but it costs him nothing if i let adam go . and what about me ? you know , it 's my career and my conscience on the line . i mean , i want to see adam with his family . he deserves that . but what about us ? you know , what about our family ? withholding evidence -- that 's a felony . if i do n't give paul this photo and he finds out , i should and i could be charged as an accessory . and then adam goes free , i go to jail . is that -- is that what we want ? sharon : what kind of question is that ? of course that 's not what we want . but this picture you 're painting , this is the worst - case scenario . that 's not likely what 's gon na happen . dylan : i know , but it might happen . i 'm not -- i 'm not willing to risk it . sharon : i - i wish i had answers for you . i really do . dylan : [ sighs ] yeah , you and me both . it 's -- it 's getting late . come on . you should get home to sully , and i - i got to get back to work . sharon : what are you gon na do ? dylan : honestly , i do n't know . adam : i do n't know who manufactures these things . this is not at all made right . chelsea : hmm . adam : you want to hear something weird ? chelsea : i would love to . what is that ? adam : [ sighs ] i 'm actually grateful for my time in prison . chelsea : are you being serious ? adam : i 'm being serious , yeah . it helps me appreciate moments like this , you know ? sunset , cool breeze , fresh air . fishing . [ both laugh ] adam : being here with you . i 'm very lucky , you know . chelsea : we are very lucky . [ sighs ] you know ... adam : hmm ? chelsea : i think i changed my mind . adam : really ? about me ? chelsea : yeah , i want a divorce . adam : no . chelsea : no . about paradise . i used to think it was on the left bank in paris , but after today ... adam : it could be anywhere , could n't it ? chelsea : yeah . i mean ... have you ever felt so peaceful ? adam : no . no , i have n't . chelsea : [ sighs ] well , i should go check on our boy . adam : okay . adam : there 's got to be a way to get this . chelsea : adam . adam : huh ? chelsea : does he feel warm to you ? adam : uh ... yeah , yeah , kind of . chelsea : he does , right ? adam : well , we 've been out in the sun all day , though . chelsea : yeah , but it 's different . it 's different kind of warm . i feel like -- i feel like he might have a fever . adam : okay . chelsea : come here . look at me . let me see . you know what ? it 's fine . i brought extra medicine , though , so it 'll be fine . adam : okay , yeah . chelsea : i mean , kids -- kids get fevers all the time . come here , baby . it 's okay . chloe : i missed you so much , my sweet little girl . did you have fun with grandma ? esther : well , grandma definitely had a good time with you . chloe : [ chuckles ] esther : i 'm wiped out . kevin : mission accomplished , bella . esther : what ? ! kevin : [ laughs ] esther : who knew that fingerpainting could be such hard work ? it 's -- it 's not really the painting so much as the cleanup . my gosh , it took it all out of me . chloe : yeah , i can see that . you , uh , missed a spot back there . esther : oh , no . she was covered in blue paint . i thought i got it all . well , here . chloe : uh , no . that 's okay . i 'll take her upstairs , give her a nice , good wash before we go to bed . esther : okay . good night , bella . see you soon . chloe : say , `` night , grandma . `` esther : hey . chloe : [ chuckles ] kevin : bye , esther . chloe : thanks , mom . esther : yeah . kevin : [ sighs ] what do you say ? you hungry ? i could whip up something to eat . chloe : no , thanks . that 's sweet . um , i 'm hungry for kisses from this little one . mm ! i missed you so much . [ sighs ] it feels so empty in here without chelsea and connor . kevin : well , you do n't have to stay here . i know a very cozy place nearby that has plenty of room for you and bella . and the rent ? dirt cheap . chloe : [ chuckles ] um , i mean , that 's a lot to ask . kevin : you 're not asking . i 'm offering . bella , come here . what if we told mommy how much fun it would be if we all lived together and we could play pattycake anytime we want and we could sing `` the itsy bitsy spider `` anytime we want . chloe : oh , well , how am i supposed to say no to that face ? kevin : you 're not supposed to . chloe : oh ! kevin : that 's the point . chloe : you know what ? i really ca n't think past tonight . it 's been a long 24 hours . and this one needs to get to bed . and , well , i could use a good night 's sleep myself . kevin : okay . well , the offer stands . chloe : thank you . i do n't deserve you . no , i really do n't . the way that you defended me to mariah . kevin : well , mariah is a good friend , but she does n't know you the way i do . chloe : same here . i mean , i bet she does n't know how skilled you are at pattycake . kevin : it 's a gift . chloe : right ? [ both chuckle ] kevin : okay , what do you say we go upstairs ? you ready to play some more pattycake before bed ? chloe : [ chuckles ] no . kevin : [ laughs ] [ telephone rings ] sharon : hello ? hello ? mariah : i do n't know about you , but i could use some tea to help put me to sleep tonight . sharon : well , i do n't think it 's going to help me 'cause i am not going to relax until dylan gets home . mariah : well , that 'll probably be sooner than you think . i ran into kevin and chloe . they think that adam has suffered enough and dylan should just let him go . when i said that that was ridiculous and dylan had a job to do , kevin nearly bit my head off . he says with adam gone , chloe 's life will be easier , because that 's who the world revolves around . kevin 's world , at least . sharon : part of me agrees with him . mariah : what ? sharon : not about the chloe situation , but about connor needing his father , like sully does . you know , the idea of that little boy growing up without him ... mariah : is sad . but does that really excuse everything ? sharon : whatever dylan decides , i trust that he will do the right thing . he always does . paul : yeah , all right . i figured . dylan : how 's it going ? paul : busy . got all kinds of eyewitnesses who claim they saw chelsea and connor on a bus , on a train , even on a plane to rio . all of them dead ends . the truth is , we 're no closer to finding adam and his family than we were 24 hours ago . dylan : i may have something . chelsea : hey , um , i do n't understand what 's going on . the medicine 's not working , and his fever 's getting worse . adam : okay . chelsea : did you notice earlier , too , when he kept rubbing his ear ? adam : i saw that . it 's probably an ear infection . you know , he needs antibiotics for that . chelsea : okay , then we 'll -- we 'll get more when -- when we -- when we get to where we 're going . adam : he ca n't fly with an ear infection , babe . it 'll break his eardrum . chelsea : of course . no . of course . and we -- we ca n't risk that . um , so if we ca n't get on the plane and we ca n't stay here , what -- what are we supposed to do ? adam : there 's only one thing we can do . devon : hey . lily : hey . how 'd it go with dad ? did he curse me the whole time for meddling in his personal life ? devon : the meddling actually might have turned out to be a good thing . cane : yeah , why ? lily : did he change his mind about lucinda ? devon : you can ask him when he gets back . lily : from where ? devon : from visiting her . neil : it 's me . neil . your son . chloe : [ laughs ] you still got the touch . kevin : [ chuckles ] chloe : bella was out cold before itsy bitsy spider could climb the spout again . kevin : okay , i have that effect on women sometimes . lay off . chloe : not always . thank you . kevin : for what ? chloe : [ sighs ] for , like , everything . kevin : hey , can i add one more thing to the list ? chloe : no . i 'm not hungry . i do n't want to eat . kevin : no , but , uh , it would make me feel better if somebody stayed here with you and bella tonight in case there 's any news on chelsea and connor . chloe : you would n't mind ? kevin : you kidding ? this , uh , sofa 's got my name all over it . chloe : we would really love that , the both of us . kevin : good . chloe : i 'll just grab you a pillow and a -- kevin : hey , hey , hey . go to bed . i got it . chloe : you 're sure ? kevin : yes . chloe : good night . kevin : good night , chloe . sharon : i know it 's hard to accept that you ca n't stop kevin from feeling responsible for chloe and bella any more than i could stop dylan from feeling responsible for me and sully . mariah : oh , my gosh . i wish this family thing came with instructions . i mean , before i realized i had one of my own , i just thought that i was the kid that was n't invited to the birthday party . everybody 's around the table eating cake , holding hands , being happy . and now that i actually have a seat at the table ... sharon : it 's a lot more complicated . mariah : yeah . a lot . all right , i 'm toast . i 'm gon na go to bed . see you . sharon : mariah . i 'm really glad you 're at our table . mariah : me , too . now get some sleep . dylan 's probably in for a long night , okay ? dylan : you know , i 've been staring at surveillance footage and traffic cameras until everything just became a blur , and that 's probably why i missed it . paul : w - what exactly did you miss ? dylan : the car chelsea used for her getaway . adam : i made a lot of selfish decisions in my life , but connor comes first . chelsea : of course . always . adam : we have to get him to the hospital , babe , and get him the medicine that he needs . chelsea : okay , but you do realize what you 're saying , right ? the police are looking everywhere for you , so the second you step back into town , this is over . you 're arrested . adam : i wo n't be arrested . i got to turn myself in . [ next_on ] neil : you never wanted to be a part of my life , so why did you bother keeping up with it ? christine : i 'm here on behalf of the citizens of the city to offer you a deal . chloe : hello , adam . adam : ah ! | devon persuades neil to go see his mother whom lily discovered is living in an assisted living facility nearby and is very ill . dylan wonders if he should tell paul that he found video camera footage of chelsea putting connor inside a car . dylan finally decides to tell paul about the video footage giving them their first lead to finding adam and chelsea . when connor gets an ear infection , adam decides to turn himself in to the police so that chelsea can take connor to the hospital . | <s>[INST] neil : and so it begins . kristoff st. john ( neil ) : the masquerade ball was one of the coolest things that i 've ever been a part of as an actor . announcer : please welcome dionysus , the greek god of wine . st. john : it was one of the rare occasions that everyone was on stage . i 'll never forget it . there will never be another memory like that . lily : and i 'm old enough now to make my own choices . st. john : christel khalil is brought onto the show . lily : that 's why you have to trust me , because i 'm not stupid . christel khalil ( lily ) : one of my favorite moments was with michael graziadei when we had to go on location to malibu , and it was when lily and daniel ran away . lily : it 's so beautiful here . khalil : i felt like that was a very pivotal point for my character , as well . st. john : when devon first came on the canvas , i did n't know he would become one of the closest people to neil of all time . lily : thank you . devon : yeah . st. john : and i knew that he was going to be a wonderful inclusion into the winters family . i do n't know about lately . he 's done a lot of bad things . neil : i think i 'm gon na spend some alone time with my wife . you go on ahead , have a drink . bryton james ( devon ) : literally over a decade i 've gone from sleeping on the floor in victor 's office to being a billionaire sleeping with my blind father 's wife . [ chuckles ] mishael morgan ( hilary ) : my favorite moment was when lily dumped the ice water on hilary . it was freezing . hilary : aah ! lily : get your skinny butt out of bed , 'cause we have some things to settle . morgan : another great moment for bryton and me was devon and hilary 's wedding . devon and hilary finally got to say what they wanted to say to each other in front of everyone . james : she was quite pregnant at the time . i wish you guys could have seen in real life how big that bouquet really was to hide that belly . devon : i did n't know you knew how to sign . kay : i learned because i wanted to talk to my grandson . james : devon losing his hearing was a very powerful storyline , and i finally was able to hear without the use of an external cochlear implant . that was probably one of my favorite moments . devon : [ chuckles ] i can hear . lily : wait , how -- how is it ? is it clearer than before ? devon : yeah . neil : yeah . devon : [ laughs ] neil : and i want to thank god for you . yeah , you , this guy right here for proving that you are gon na keep my daughter safe and you 're gon na keep her loved . cane : come here , baby . lily : [ laughs ] daniel goddard ( cane ) : the wedding we had at greystone , which was set in france . it was just a treat . absolutely treat . lily : cane ! goddard : when you stand back and you look at cane and his relationship with lily , that girl for him is the be all and end all . and no matter what happens , he 'll fight for her . morgan : it 's amazing that we 're celebrating 11,000 episodes . james : it 's an incredible milestone . khalil : thank you so much ... goddard : ... for being part of this journey , for being part of our lives ... khalil : ... for watching the show . james : we all do this show and we 're all here because of you . st. john : from all of us at `` young and the restless , `` thank you . i love you . goddard : now please join us for this episode ... khalil : ... of `` the young and the restless . `` paul : okay , so this is great . not only does adam escape , but his wife and child give our guys the slip . they 're probably with him right now . this is unbelievable . why do n't you go home and get some rest ? dylan : i 'm fine . paul : you 've been at this all night . dylan : i know . i said i 'm fine . paul : okay . then where are we ? dylan : well , uh , we know that chelsea took off through the secret passageway , but where she went -- nobody knows . paul : so you 've obviously checked the security cameras in the building ? dylan : yeah , and all the traffic cameras in the area , but there 's nothing yet . paul : what about her car ? dylan : car is in the usual spot . nobody saw chelsea and connor get into another car . obviously there 's other modes of transportation . i mean , they got to get to the airport , the bus , or train stations , but i doubt that they would do it on foot . paul : [ sighs ] so , what did victor give her , anyway ? an invisible cloak ? dylan : yeah , well , i questioned victor , and he denied everything . paul : of course he does . you do n't believe that any more than i do . listen , dylan , the clock is ticking . we need to get a lead on chelsea 's whereabouts before adam disappears completely . dylan : all right . i 'm on it . paul : oh , these two . okay , i 'm just going over your statement . honestly , it , uh , kind of reads like a bedtime story . kevin : [ sighs ] i 'm sorry it was n't to your liking . chloe : hey , we 've been here for hours . can we please go home ? i would like to get back to my daughter . kevin : at least we know she 's in good hands . but yeah , finishing up would be great . paul : you know what , kevin ? i am just getting started . sharon : i come with sandwiches and coffee . dylan tends to forget to eat when he 's busy . paul : he 's in there . he just needs a break in the case . sharon : stop what you 're doing and eat . dylan : [ sighs ] sharon : what was that ? did you find a lead ? devon : dad , can you believe what 's going on with chelsea and adam newman ? she 's on the run with her 3-year - old son . i wonder where the hell they 're going . and was it planned or did it just happen ? hey . neil : hey . devon : this family drama not exciting enough for you ? neil : unfortunately , my son , i got my own family drama right now . [ clears throat ] devon : you 're still upset about the cards and letters from your mom ? neil : yeah , you 're damn right i 'm upset . hilary had no right to give lily those letters . as a matter of fact , she had no right to fish them out of the trash in the first place . if i choose not to have contact with that woman , then that 's my business . lily : actually , you 're wrong about that , dad . it 's not just about you . it 's about the entire family . adam : hey . chelsea : hi . i 'm making sure i was n't dreaming . adam : you 're not dreaming . i 'm right here . we 're free ... ish . chelsea : [ chuckles ] adam : pretty soon that plane is gon na take us to our whole new life . no one will be able to find us , no matter what . chelsea : this is it . it 's really happening . it 's all gon na work out this time . neil : hilary completely betrayed my trust by hanging on to those letters . devon : look , she was your wife . neil : so what ? devon : so she cared about you . neil : not for long . devon : regardless of how your marriage ended , i know for a fact that she always wanted what was best for you . and she was scared that you 'd regret pushing your mom away , so she gave lily those letters and cards , hoping she would convince you to reach out to her . lily : and as much as i hate to admit it , hilary had the right idea . neil : what 's going on ? what -- what do you mean ? what did you do ? cane : we did what you should have done a long time ago . lily : we went to see your mother . chelsea : hey . adam : hey . guy 's looking good . chelsea : my big man . adam : you know , we 're not too far away before a fancy , little plane 's gon na land , take us away to our whole new life . chelsea : mm - hmm . connor : it do n't happen all ! chelsea : yeah . and the plane 's gon na take us to our new home , and we 're gon na find you a new school and make you some new friends . adam : yeah , we 're gon na do all that important stuff . chelsea : yeah . adam : the most important thing you need to know is daddy 's never gon na have to leave again . all right ? your grandpa victor 's got this whole little excursion planned down to the minute , i can tell you that much . chelsea : what time does the plane land ? adam : later tonight . chelsea : i just wish we could go now , you know ? adam : i know what you 're talking about , but i kind of trust my father on this one , you know ? i know it sounds crazy , but he 's come through so far , right ? he 's got nikki working with him , so ... chelsea : yeah , i know . and i do n't think she would hurt our family . i really do n't . adam : i do n't think so , either . you guys , look at that . i mean , there is literally not a cloud in the sky . it 's like , uh -- what do you call it ? it 's like a -- like an omen , you know ? chelsea : an omen ? to wear sunscreen ? adam : well , that 's always a good idea , but i was thinking more along the lines of , you know , getting this whole family thing started , you know ? get out there , do something as a family . you know , we , uh , we got the equipment . we could ... we could easily just go fishing . chelsea : [ chuckles ] adam : i 'm sorry . what are you laughing about ? what 's so funny ? chelsea : [ chuckles ] nothing . adam : you do n't think i know how to fish ? chelsea : i think you can do anything . adam : i 'm a master fisherman , okay ? i catch lunkers , babe . big ones . chelsea : lunkers means big ones . adam : yeah , no . i know . big lunkers . come on , boy . let 's go . we 're gon na go fishing . we 're gon na show your mom what it 's all about . we 're gon na catch a shark . chelsea : [ chuckles ] adam : you 're gon na be scared when the fish are bigger than you . come on . paul : so , do you really expect me to believe that you and chloe were in the same apartment as chelsea when she slipped out with connor and you do n't know anything ? kevin : yes , because it 's true . chloe : i was the one who discovered that chelsea was gone . i mean , if i was trying to aid and abet , why would i tell dylan ? does n't that defeat the purpose ? kevin : not to mention if anyone has a reason not to give adam a happily ever after , it 's chloe . paul : you know , maybe the happy ending was for chelsea . kevin : or maybe you 're grilling us because you do n't feel comfortable grilling anybody else . paul : oh . what are you trying to say , kevin ? kevin : nikki was there right before chelsea disappeared . why are n't you harassing her , or do old friends get the benefit of the doubt ? paul : right now everyone is a potential accessory . chloe : okay , well , we did what you asked , paul . please . paul : all right , you can go . but if you have happen to know where chelsea is meeting adam , it does n't do anybody any favors to keep it a secret . victor is most likely behind the escape , which means it will end badly . right ? kevin : right . sharon : well , it must have been something , dylan , but you closed the screen so fast , i did n't get a chance to look at it . was it about chelsea and connor being on the run ? because that 's all over the news . dylan : yeah , i just -- you know , i 've been staring at surveillance footage and traffic cameras for hours . i really have n't been able to confirm anything . sharon : well , you 're not gon na be any use to paul in an investigation if you 're falling asleep at your desk , so come on . take a walk with me . get some air . and that 's an order , detective . dylan : uh , well , i can , uh , fight my dad , but i know better than to fight you . sharon : you 're a smart man . lily : cane and i tracked down lucinda using the return address on the letters . she 's in an assisted living facility . devon : close by ? lily : yeah , just an hour away . devon : you knew about this and you never said anything ? neil : wow . some things are better left in the past . lily : not family , dad . neil : okay , yeah , right . you had no right to interfere , lily . lily : i disagree . you have been nursing this wound since you were a kid . it 's time to let it heal . neil : okay , listen to me . `` a , `` it was n't your call . `` b , `` you should have asked me first . cane : yeah , but you would have said no . neil : [ loudly ] yeah , you 're damn right i -- [ quietly ] you 're damn right i would have said no . it 's -- it 's my life . lily : she is our grandmother and the twins ' great - grandmother . and not only is she alive , but she 's close by . she has a right to know about us and for us to know about her . neil : oh , man . this is rich . why do n't you take her some flowers , show her the photo albums , and listen to all of her excuses ? i want nothing to do with that lady ! lily : actually , we already tried that . neil : you -- you -- you -- you went to -- you went to the facility ? ! cane : they would n't let us see her 'cause we 're not immediate family . devon : did they say anything about her , how she 's doing or ... ? lily : just that she 's sick and she never has any visitors . cane : and they seemed surprised we even existed . lily : are you really okay with that , dad ? are you prepared to let your mother die alone ? chloe : hi , mom . we thought that you would be here with bella . esther : i know , honey . i 'm so sorry , but we just lost track of time . did n't we , honey ? 'cause we were having so much fun , right ? we went to the park and we fed the ducks brown rice bread . chloe : i 'm sure the birds loved the extra nutritional value . but could you please just give bella normal food like , i do n't know , a banana or a pear ? nothing weird , please ? esther : uh , okay . chloe : it 's too late , is n't it ? did you give her quinoa for breakfast or something ? esther : maybe . but we 're doing something else now . we 're fingerpainting . do n't worry , honey . i 'll bring her to chelsea 's later this afternoon , okay ? chloe : okay . give her a hug for me . love you . i 'll see you later . bye . kevin : oh , all good ? chloe : yeah . i just miss her . it has n't even been a day . kevin : that 's sweet . your daughter means the world to you . chloe : yeah . i mean , she 's everything to me . she changed my whole world . kevin : look , i know i pushed dylan to find chelsea and connor because i did n't want them to end up in some kind of showdown with the cops , but the more i think about it , maybe nick was right . dylan should back off and let adam and his family get away . mariah : you ca n't be serious . kevin : yes , i am . mariah : why would dylan do that ? it 's his job to find criminals and bring them to justice . kevin : adam is n't a criminal in this case . he was framed and locked up for a crime he did n't commit . is that justice ? mariah : no . it sucks . but the fact is , adam attacked a prison guard . he nearly choked the guy to death , and now a hard - working family man is in a coma . i do n't know about you , but i feel like somebody should answer for that . dylan : just do n't know what to do . i got a photo from a traffic camera , visual evidence of chelsea putting connor into a car . and if i follow that lead , it could take me right to adam . sharon : so what 's stopping you ? dylan : nick . [ sighs ] made a pretty good argument for staying quiet . sharon : nick wants you to let adam go free ? dylan : i know , right ? that 's why i 'm taking it so seriously . not only is there no love lost between those two guys , but nick is so furious with victor , he wants him nailed for what he did to adam . sharon : and with all that , nick 's willing to let victor skate so that adam can live a new life . wow . i 'm impressed . it must have taken him a lot to get there . but there 's more , is n't there ? dylan : yeah . yeah , when i went to question victor , i just got this feeling that nikki was n't totally up front , that she 's involved in this somehow . sharon : so then pursuing this investigation could mean bad things for nikki . dylan : just when things have settled down for her . you know , she 's happy , she 's back on the wagon , she 's back with her husband . but i have -- i have a responsibility to the public . you know , i want to live up to paul 's standards . i want -- i want to be what he expects me to be . what the hell am i supposed to do ? adam : see , these are some of the things that we 're gon na be able to do , father / son things like fishing . so , uh , all right . first thing you do -- i mean , how hard could it be , right ? first thing you do is you take the spinny thingie dingie and you ... you put the ... that 's not ... the way . i know . anyway , we 'll just worry about that later . anyway , you get that guy out there like that , okay ? and then you throw the ... this is a little bit more difficult than i thought . anyway , listen , here 's the point , all right ? you and i are gon na have plenty of time to figure out fishing , horseback riding , anything you want to do , all right ? we 're gon na be together forever as a family . family is important . connor : fishing ! adam : we 're gon na go fishing , all right ? daddy 's got to figure it out first . family is important , okay ? it 's the most important thing . and that 's what i want to tell you . it 's gon na be you , me , and mommy , like a super team , all right ? neil : you think because she 's sick all should be forgiven ? lily : no , dad , but you can at least hear your mother out . neil : it 's too late for that , lily . devon : why ? lily : it 's never too late , and it 's obvious that she cares . neil : really ? if she cared so much , why did she abandon me , huh ? lily : do n't you think her trying to contact you is saying that she 's sorry ? neil : i told you . it 's too late . now , i 'm -- i 'm not happy that she 's sick . but i can tell you this . if my mother 's alone , she caused this herself . lily : well , that went well . cane : you gave it your best shot . lily : it 's your turn . devon : you think he 's gon na listen to me ? lily : he 's not listening to me . maybe you can get through to him . was that a huge mistake ? cane : you 're just trying to get through to your father . lily : i feel like instead of helping things , i made it worse . mariah : could i do a coffee to go , please ? chloe : sticking adam behind bars wo n't bring that guard back to his family . instead it 's just gon na take another father away from his son , which is just gon na cause more pain and more misery . mariah : i thought you were all about pain and misery where adam was concerned . i mean , you did use him as a human speed bump . kevin : mariah . mariah : well , i 'm wrong ? kevin : look , she has worked really hard to get to a place of forgiveness . i 'm very proud of her . i 'm also very protective . mariah : you do n't say . kevin : and i think it would be best for all of us if adam were gone and never came back . mariah : he would be gone if he was in prison ! kevin : for 10 years ! and he would find a way to get out sooner . if he is off the grid forever , chloe and bella can live their lives . mariah : here ? kevin : yes , here . without the constant reminder of the daughter that was taken from her ! there is justice in that also ! sharon : this is n't your fault . you know that , dylan . dylan : not all of it , no . but i did play a role in helping adam get convicted for a crime that he did n't commit , a crime his father set him up for to teach him a lesson . sharon : there are no depths to which victor wo n't sink . dylan : you know , the part that does n't make any sense is -- is him helping chelsea and connor because , i mean , if they successfully go on the run , victor -- he 'll never see his son and his grandson again . sharon : i 'm surprised that adam even trusts victor . at this point , how he could feel he can ever trust him again ? dylan : i think he felt like he had no choice . i mean , i would -- i would make a deal with the devil himself if it was the only way to stay with you and sully . you know , i could n't imagine spending 10 years cut off from you guys when my son needs me the most . no way . it 's no way . sharon : luckily that 's not gon na happen , 'cause sully and i are n't going anywhere . dylan : i do n't know . i do n't think i can look the other way . if i do n't turn over this lead , i 'm gon na be violating my oath , not to mention helping victor get away with everything . sharon : you 'll be helping a family stay together . deal with the devil , remember ? nick was right . let them go . neil : hey , thanks a lot . devon : hey , man . you mind if i join you ? neil : not if you 're here as lily 's mouthpiece . devon : well , you do know that she is just trying to help you , right ? neil : yeah , well , how helpful is she when she expressly goes against my wishes ? as a matter of fact , she goes behind my back and tries to visit you- know - who . devon : you - know - who has a name . lucinda is a person just like you and me with a heart and soul and a whole life story , man . neil : yeah , i already know the story . devon : i do n't know the story . neil : i told you what she did . devon : yeah , but there 's always two sides to everything , though , right ? neil : you do n't believe me , do you ? devon : no , that 's not what i 'm saying at all . i just -- she might have a different take on what happened . you know ? but hey , even if you 're right and she did abandon your family the way you said , there 's always this little thing called forgiveness . i mean , you and i are a living example of that . if we can get past all the things we did to each other , all the hurt and lying and deceit and pain caused , you know , i really think that you could do the same thing with your mom . sharon : you 've been so quiet . dylan : [ sighs ] look , i get what nick 's talking about . i really do . but it costs him nothing if i let adam go . and what about me ? you know , it 's my career and my conscience on the line . i mean , i want to see adam with his family . he deserves that . but what about us ? you know , what about our family ? withholding evidence -- that 's a felony . if i do n't give paul this photo and he finds out , i should and i could be charged as an accessory . and then adam goes free , i go to jail . is that -- is that what we want ? sharon : what kind of question is that ? of course that 's not what we want . but this picture you 're painting , this is the worst - case scenario . that 's not likely what 's gon na happen . dylan : i know , but it might happen . i 'm not -- i 'm not willing to risk it . sharon : i - i wish i had answers for you . i really do . dylan : [ sighs ] yeah , you and me both . it 's -- it 's getting late . come on . you should get home to sully , and i - i got to get back to work . sharon : what are you gon na do ? dylan : honestly , i do n't know . adam : i do n't know who manufactures these things . this is not at all made right . chelsea : hmm . adam : you want to hear something weird ? chelsea : i would love to . what is that ? adam : [ sighs ] i 'm actually grateful for my time in prison . chelsea : are you being serious ? adam : i 'm being serious , yeah . it helps me appreciate moments like this , you know ? sunset , cool breeze , fresh air . fishing . [ both laugh ] adam : being here with you . i 'm very lucky , you know . chelsea : we are very lucky . [ sighs ] you know ... adam : hmm ? chelsea : i think i changed my mind . adam : really ? about me ? chelsea : yeah , i want a divorce . adam : no . chelsea : no . about paradise . i used to think it was on the left bank in paris , but after today ... adam : it could be anywhere , could n't it ? chelsea : yeah . i mean ... have you ever felt so peaceful ? adam : no . no , i have n't . chelsea : [ sighs ] well , i should go check on our boy . adam : okay . adam : there 's got to be a way to get this . chelsea : adam . adam : huh ? chelsea : does he feel warm to you ? adam : uh ... yeah , yeah , kind of . chelsea : he does , right ? adam : well , we 've been out in the sun all day , though . chelsea : yeah , but it 's different . it 's different kind of warm . i feel like -- i feel like he might have a fever . adam : okay . chelsea : come here . look at me . let me see . you know what ? it 's fine . i brought extra medicine , though , so it 'll be fine . adam : okay , yeah . chelsea : i mean , kids -- kids get fevers all the time . come here , baby . it 's okay . chloe : i missed you so much , my sweet little girl . did you have fun with grandma ? esther : well , grandma definitely had a good time with you . chloe : [ chuckles ] esther : i 'm wiped out . kevin : mission accomplished , bella . esther : what ? ! kevin : [ laughs ] esther : who knew that fingerpainting could be such hard work ? it 's -- it 's not really the painting so much as the cleanup . my gosh , it took it all out of me . chloe : yeah , i can see that . you , uh , missed a spot back there . esther : oh , no . she was covered in blue paint . i thought i got it all . well , here . chloe : uh , no . that 's okay . i 'll take her upstairs , give her a nice , good wash before we go to bed . esther : okay . good night , bella . see you soon . chloe : say , `` night , grandma . `` esther : hey . chloe : [ chuckles ] kevin : bye , esther . chloe : thanks , mom . esther : yeah . kevin : [ sighs ] what do you say ? you hungry ? i could whip up something to eat . chloe : no , thanks . that 's sweet . um , i 'm hungry for kisses from this little one . mm ! i missed you so much . [ sighs ] it feels so empty in here without chelsea and connor . kevin : well , you do n't have to stay here . i know a very cozy place nearby that has plenty of room for you and bella . and the rent ? dirt cheap . chloe : [ chuckles ] um , i mean , that 's a lot to ask . kevin : you 're not asking . i 'm offering . bella , come here . what if we told mommy how much fun it would be if we all lived together and we could play pattycake anytime we want and we could sing `` the itsy bitsy spider `` anytime we want . chloe : oh , well , how am i supposed to say no to that face ? kevin : you 're not supposed to . chloe : oh ! kevin : that 's the point . chloe : you know what ? i really ca n't think past tonight . it 's been a long 24 hours . and this one needs to get to bed . and , well , i could use a good night 's sleep myself . kevin : okay . well , the offer stands . chloe : thank you . i do n't deserve you . no , i really do n't . the way that you defended me to mariah . kevin : well , mariah is a good friend , but she does n't know you the way i do . chloe : same here . i mean , i bet she does n't know how skilled you are at pattycake . kevin : it 's a gift . chloe : right ? [ both chuckle ] kevin : okay , what do you say we go upstairs ? you ready to play some more pattycake before bed ? chloe : [ chuckles ] no . kevin : [ laughs ] [ telephone rings ] sharon : hello ? hello ? mariah : i do n't know about you , but i could use some tea to help put me to sleep tonight . sharon : well , i do n't think it 's going to help me 'cause i am not going to relax until dylan gets home . mariah : well , that 'll probably be sooner than you think . i ran into kevin and chloe . they think that adam has suffered enough and dylan should just let him go . when i said that that was ridiculous and dylan had a job to do , kevin nearly bit my head off . he says with adam gone , chloe 's life will be easier , because that 's who the world revolves around . kevin 's world , at least . sharon : part of me agrees with him . mariah : what ? sharon : not about the chloe situation , but about connor needing his father , like sully does . you know , the idea of that little boy growing up without him ... mariah : is sad . but does that really excuse everything ? sharon : whatever dylan decides , i trust that he will do the right thing . he always does . paul : yeah , all right . i figured . dylan : how 's it going ? paul : busy . got all kinds of eyewitnesses who claim they saw chelsea and connor on a bus , on a train , even on a plane to rio . all of them dead ends . the truth is , we 're no closer to finding adam and his family than we were 24 hours ago . dylan : i may have something . chelsea : hey , um , i do n't understand what 's going on . the medicine 's not working , and his fever 's getting worse . adam : okay . chelsea : did you notice earlier , too , when he kept rubbing his ear ? adam : i saw that . it 's probably an ear infection . you know , he needs antibiotics for that . chelsea : okay , then we 'll -- we 'll get more when -- when we -- when we get to where we 're going . adam : he ca n't fly with an ear infection , babe . it 'll break his eardrum . chelsea : of course . no . of course . and we -- we ca n't risk that . um , so if we ca n't get on the plane and we ca n't stay here , what -- what are we supposed to do ? adam : there 's only one thing we can do . devon : hey . lily : hey . how 'd it go with dad ? did he curse me the whole time for meddling in his personal life ? devon : the meddling actually might have turned out to be a good thing . cane : yeah , why ? lily : did he change his mind about lucinda ? devon : you can ask him when he gets back . lily : from where ? devon : from visiting her . neil : it 's me . neil . your son . chloe : [ laughs ] you still got the touch . kevin : [ chuckles ] chloe : bella was out cold before itsy bitsy spider could climb the spout again . kevin : okay , i have that effect on women sometimes . lay off . chloe : not always . thank you . kevin : for what ? chloe : [ sighs ] for , like , everything . kevin : hey , can i add one more thing to the list ? chloe : no . i 'm not hungry . i do n't want to eat . kevin : no , but , uh , it would make me feel better if somebody stayed here with you and bella tonight in case there 's any news on chelsea and connor . chloe : you would n't mind ? kevin : you kidding ? this , uh , sofa 's got my name all over it . chloe : we would really love that , the both of us . kevin : good . chloe : i 'll just grab you a pillow and a -- kevin : hey , hey , hey . go to bed . i got it . chloe : you 're sure ? kevin : yes . chloe : good night . kevin : good night , chloe . sharon : i know it 's hard to accept that you ca n't stop kevin from feeling responsible for chloe and bella any more than i could stop dylan from feeling responsible for me and sully . mariah : oh , my gosh . i wish this family thing came with instructions . i mean , before i realized i had one of my own , i just thought that i was the kid that was n't invited to the birthday party . everybody 's around the table eating cake , holding hands , being happy . and now that i actually have a seat at the table ... sharon : it 's a lot more complicated . mariah : yeah . a lot . all right , i 'm toast . i 'm gon na go to bed . see you . sharon : mariah . i 'm really glad you 're at our table . mariah : me , too . now get some sleep . dylan 's probably in for a long night , okay ? dylan : you know , i 've been staring at surveillance footage and traffic cameras until everything just became a blur , and that 's probably why i missed it . paul : w - what exactly did you miss ? dylan : the car chelsea used for her getaway . adam : i made a lot of selfish decisions in my life , but connor comes first . chelsea : of course . always . adam : we have to get him to the hospital , babe , and get him the medicine that he needs . chelsea : okay , but you do realize what you 're saying , right ? the police are looking everywhere for you , so the second you step back into town , this is over . you 're arrested . adam : i wo n't be arrested . i got to turn myself in .

nikolas : wearing a path on the floor wo n't make lucky come back any sooner . elizabeth : i know , but he 's been gone an awfully long time , and i do n't know if that 's a good or a bad thing . emily : it has to be good . nikolas : well , it 'll work one way or another . elizabeth : oh , here he is . hey . so ? what happened ? emily : oh . oh , i do n't want to hear this , do i ? lucky : i 'm sorry , but the judge considers you a flight risk . nikolas : what ? lucky : he wo n't release you for any reason , including the marriage . nikolas : well , fine . then i 'll just have to find a way to escape . [ scene_break ] heather : i 'm sorry it had to come to this , edward . but we were never exactly candidates for happily ever after , were we ? ours was a marriage of convenience , and unfortunately for you it 's become inconvenient for me . luke : get that out of my face ! [ scene_break ] sam : jason warned me , but i have to find a way to deal with things , so i went to the nursery . i must have fell asleep . sonny , i heard a baby . sonny : was she crying ? sam : no . no , they were happy noises . and i looked over to the mobile , and it was turning . it just -- it felt so real . i got up and i went over to the crib . and i reached inside , and it was empty . i guess i just screamed myself awake . sonny : i 'm sorry . can i get you some water ? sam : the empty crib -- i mean , that -- that was the real part . our baby 's gone . i never knew her , but i miss her . i miss her so much . sonny : hey -- [ scene_break ] [ keys rattle ] [ knock on door ] ric : listen , if you were the source of that file that incriminates sonny , i 'm sure you kept a copy for your own insurance . i want it now . otherwise , he 's not only going to walk , i 'm going to lose custody of my stepdaughter . john : i 'm sorry to disappoint you , but i ca n't help you , lansing . i ca n't hand over a file that 's supposed to incriminate sonny if i never had it to begin with . ric : there 's no reason to lie , all right ? you wanted me to go after sonny so you would n't get your hands dirty and possibly alienate your daughter . john : well , that 's an interesting theory . of course , i still have n't seen anything in the way of proof . ric : ok , this is the way it 's going to boil down . you either find a copy of that file or i 'm going to charge your daughter with arson . [ scene_break ] carly : i 'd appreciate an answer , and the simple truth will do here . steven : all right . john never mentioned stealing the file that ric 's using against sonny . carly : ok , that 's a small relief . now , i need to ask you something else , and i am trusting you for the truth on this one , too . did john come here to get to know me , or was it all about putting sonny in prison ? steven : he came for sonny . [ scene_break ] sonny : i know something about how you feel . i miss our little girl every minute . sometimes , you know , i feel like -- [ sonny sighs ] sam : please , sonny , just tell me . sonny : i just feel like -- like it was completely my fault that we lost her . sam : it 's not your fault . there 's nothing you could have done . sonny : no , there were the things ; i could have done some things . you know , i could have reassured you , right , instead of always telling you my rights as a father , you know ? i could have -- i do n't know . sam : look , dr. meadows said that there was nothing anyone could have done , that the abruptio placentae would have happened regardless . i just do n't see how something so awful was meant to be , so -- sonny : i do n't know , yeah . i just realized i was n't -- i was n't there to help you out , and i just -- sam : no , sonny , you had your own pain to process . sonny : well , i know but , you know -- sam : kristina getting so sick , i just -- i understand . i do . sonny : but the good thing is that you -- jason was there for you . you were n't alone , hmm ? sam : jason 's been incredible , consistent . even when i tried to shut him out , he was still there . i do n't really know how i would have gotten through the first few days without him . sonny : from what i understand , jason 's going to be around as long as you need him . well , i should be going . sam : thanks for stopping by . sonny : i know you 're probably thinking it 's a lot easier for me because now i know that kristina 's my daughter , but that 's not true . no one can ever take the place of the child we lost . alexis : ahem . [ scene_break ] carly : so sonny and jason were right ? my father , who i defended , is a lying snake who only came here to use me to destroy my husband and my family . steven : no , no , no , no . it 's true . initially , john came to work an angle against sonny . but that was before he got to know his daughter . carly , you have touched him in a way that no one else has . carly : right . steven : he genuinely cares for you . he even loves you . and you got to believe me , you got to believe me . for john durant , that is something that does not happen often , and it does not happen easily . carly : ok , fine , fine , fine . steven : no , carly , he does not want to lose you . carly : fine ! well , say that i believe it , all right ? say that 's true . it does n't prove that he did n't steal that file . it only proves that he was slick enough to get it to ric without alienating me . then john durant -- he can cover his tracks across the board . does that sound like that could be what happened here ? steven : look , carly , look -- carly : you know , i 'm only asking you because it 's really important to me right now . steven : i think john is capable of maneuvering the situation . but whether or not he did in this case , i do n't know . you have to ask him . [ scene_break ] john : all right , look , i can certainly understand why you 're desperate to get your hands on that file , but i ca n't help you , lansing , because i never saw the damn thing . and as far as pressing charges against carly for arson , i 've already told you she was here with me when the fire in your apartment started . ric : ok , i kind of figured you were going to stonewall . you really should run for office , durant . john : oh , you know , maybe i would , except for i 'm telling the truth . ric : ok , well , we need to make that official . i need a sworn statement from you about your whereabouts with your daughter that night , including a detailed explanation of how you passed the time . john : hey , yeah , i got no problem with that . set it up . ric : well , we 're going to do it right here and right now . see , i 'm not going to give you and carly a chance to synchronize your stories . i 'm going to get a statement from you , then i 'm going to get a statement from her . and if they differ , i mean , even slightly , then that means you , carly , and dr. steven webber are going to be in for one rough ride . [ scene_break ] steven : carly , no , i do not like that look in your eyes . carly , do not go say something to your father that you ca n't take back . carly : ok , listen , it 's really nice of you to worry about me , but please do n't , ok ? i already got what i came for , and i appreciate it , but i will take care of it from here , ok ? you should get into bed anyway before you catch a draft or something . steven : what , what , you going to turn this around on me to make me conspicuous and feel ridiculous ? carly : i will be in touch . ofc . murphy : carly corinthos ? carly : yeah ? ofc . murphy : i was ordered to bring you downtown . carly : yeah ? for what ? ofc . murphy : the d.a . would like to speak to you about the fire inside his apartment .

[ scene_break ] heather : i do n't understand what just happened . luke : that 's because you do n't pay attention . you were supposed to wait for me to come back before you tried to kill anybody . heather : why are you treating me like i 'm the enemy here ? anything i 've done or tried to make happen was out of love for you . acting alone , trying to go after edward -- that was to protect you . in case you missed it , i 'm completely and totally in love with you . i thought you understood that . luke : well , let 's find out exactly what i do understand . i understand that you love me enough to kill edward . you love me enough to ice - pick detective duncan and frame skye for it . do you love me enough to kidnap my wife from the nut farm and use her for cover ? to frame her as a stalker and a killer ? was that for me , heather ? was it ? heather : yes ! yes , all right ! i did all that , and i 'd do even more , whatever it takes to get back to who we were that beautiful caribbean weekend . i 've never forgotten it . you ruined me for any other man . ok , let 's forget about edward 's money . let 's just run away together . we 'll make our own money . we 'll have a blast doing it . luke : there is only one thing that you can do for me , and that is tell me where my wife is . heather : i 'd start being a little nicer to me if i were you , or you 'll never see your precious laura again . [ scene_break ] sonny : why are you here ? alexis : it 's a legal matter . is this a bad time ? sonny : now is as good a time as any . sam : how 's kristina ? alexis : she 's much better , sam , thanks to you . sam : no need for any thanks , really . alexis : if there 's anything that i can do for you -- sam : i 'm fine . thank you . alexis : i checked the judge 's calendar . he has an opening in two days , so i moved up the hearing . sonny : alexis -- alexis : i did n't think you 'd have any objections . sonny : what 's the big rush ? you do n't trust your blackmailing tactics ? you getting a little nervous now that you , you know , you got to throw down with me ? alexis : i 've taken the liberty of preparing testimony for you . i 've left no room for improvisation , so i 'd like to go over it with you word for word . i need you to have the same mea culpa moment that you had with carly and her sons , and then i need you to come to the conclusion that kristina is safer with her mother and that her mother should retain full and permanent custody . no need for furtive looks . i 'm quite certain that sonny filled you in . jason : yeah , on how you 're blackmailing him to give up his daughter ? nice . alexis : if that look and that tone is supposed to make me feel like some sort of a monster , it does n't . i 'm acting in the best interest of kristina , and i 'm quite certain that if you were in my place you would be making this so - called blackmail look like child 's play .

[ scene_break ] emily : we 're not mounting some elaborate scheme to run away . all we want to do is get married , mac . mac : it 's my understanding the judge already turned you down . emily : he did , but elizabeth suggested that we come to you . mac : i 'm flattered , but i 'm afraid i do n't have as much influence as you might think . emily : maybe you underestimate yourself , mac . i mean , everyone knows how fair and balanced you are . and if you made a personal appeal to the judge on our behalf , then he might at least consider changing his mind . helena did everything in her evil power to make sure that nikolas and i never became husband and wife . just please help us win this small victory , mac , and convince the judge to let us have a proper ceremony -- outside this place . mac : i ca n't make any promises , but i 'll ask . nikolas : thank you . emily : so much . mac : you can thank me when i 've done something . nikolas : listen , no matter what happens with all this , no matter where i go , i promise that i 'll love you forever , ok ? [ scene_break ] luke : where is laura ? heather : i realize you still love her , but laura 's gone , luke . she ca n't take in your love . she 's moved so far inside herself she ca n't be reached , and you should move on , too . let me make you happy . i know i can . is that so distasteful to you ?

[ scene_break ] ric : carly . thanks for coming down . carly : yeah , like i had a choice . ric : well , actually , you 're right ; you did n't , no more than your father did . carly : what does john have to do with this ? ric : well , this is your alibi provided by john durant for the night that my apartment went up in flames . now , what i want from you is your version of the events during that time , and if there appears even the slightest discrepancy between his story and yours , i 'm going to charge you with arson . ric : what time did you meet john durant ? carly : not sure . it was dark . 6 : 30 or so ? [ scene_break ] john : what time was it ? well , let 's see -- evening news was on , so it would make it , what , half past 6 : 00 .

[ scene_break ] carly : john invited me over to look at some old family photos . [ scene_break ] john : well , i 've been anxious to show carly more family photos . we talked about it and -- in particular , i wanted to show her her cousin rosemary and her great - aunt gwen . [ scene_break ] carly : my cousin rosemary lived in florida , so close to me we probably ran into each other without even knowing it . and my father -- he 's got an aunt gwen and she lives in chicago . she owns a restaurant there .

[ sonny sighs ] sonny : you want me to tell you what i think went down ? meyer : yes . sonny : i think someone made copies of that file when the original went missing , right ? then they brought it -- someone brought it -- they brought it here so it would magically reappear . does that theory sound feasible to you ? meyer : well , i -- i do n't really know , because i did n't -- sonny : now , meyer , you better answer this very carefully . you gave that file to durant , did n't you ? [ scene_break ] [ knock on door ] john : hey . carly : congratulations . it worked . john : excellent . what worked ? carly : ric called me into the station for questioning -- on my alibi , where i was the night of the fire , and he was grilling me the whole time , waiting to pounce on me if our answers did n't match up , but miraculously , they did . john : oh . well , that is excellent . great . carly : mm - hmm . yep . you know what also helped , though , right , that you were showing me the pictures of the family and everything ? john : right . carly : i will say , though , it tripped me up a little bit when he asked me if we 'd had anything to eat . john : you said no ? carly : just like you . john : great minds . carly : i do n't know . i do n't know if it was that or if it was the way that ric asked me the question . it kind of seemed like it was a trick , and i just thought the safest thing to say would be no . john : oh , you got good instincts , just like your old man ! carly : ok . of course , you did know what ric was going to do . you were right , and it did save me from going to prison for arson . i do n't know how i 'm going to thank you . john : hey , you do n't have to thank me . besides , i get the feeling you 're here for something else . something else is bothering you , right ? carly : yeah , actually , but i think you know what it is . it 's the file that almost sent sonny to prison for life . [ scene_break ] ric : i do n't get it . that file contains strong evidence and enough rico violations to put sonny away for the rest of his life , which solves the custody issue . alexis , no sane judge in the country is going to give kristina to somebody who 's facing sentencing in pentonville . why are you stalling me on this ? alexis : i think that he 's going to back down at the last minute , just like he did with carly and the boys . ric : well , i think you 're wrong . i mean , in that case , sonny still loved carly . it 's a different situation with you . alexis : he did what was best for the children , and i think this is all going to work out . ric : oh , my god . you have the file , do n't you ? [ scene_break ] luke : no sign of either one of them . edward : time to call the police . luke : no ! edward , no cops . heather 's future just blew up in her face . she 's got nothing left to lose now . if she 's cornered , two lives are in danger -- skye 's and laura 's . that 's a risk we ca n't take . [ scene_break ] heather : i could have killed you , you know ? i still might . after all , you blatantly tried to take luke away from me . skye : oh , luke was never yours to take , heather . heather : oh , he 's been mine since the day we met . he 's my husband . he loves me , only me . skye : did you say your husband ? heather : you must still be too groggy from the medication i gave you to realize who you 're talking to . i noticed you called me heather . skye : what else would i call you ? heather : try my name . skye , take a closer look . it 's me , laura . [ scene_break ] meyer : i swear , mr. corinthos , i did n't steal that file , and i never gave it to durant . he -- he just had it . i -- i do n't know how . but he handed it to me , and he said that if i put it back he 'd keep me away from any fallout . i 'm an accountant . my work is with numbers . i -- i was scared so i did what he wanted . i see now that i made a grave mistake , but at the time doing what durant wanted seemed like the only solution . sonny : i need to be able to trust the people that i employ , meyer . if i ca n't , they 're useless . meyer : please do n't kill me . there must be something i can do to make this right . sonny : yeah . we might be able to work something out , meyer . meyer : anything . you just name it , i 'll do it . sonny : you bring me proof of what you just told me -- that durant came here and stole that file and gave it to ric -- and i 'll let you live . meyer : thank you , sir . thank you . sonny : now get out of here . one more thing , meyer . if you think you can just disappear , right , i want you to remember something . bam -- no bullets . [ scene_break ] carly : look , i asked steven point - blank if you were capable of stealing the evidence from sonny and giving it to ric . john : carly , why ? why would i do something like that ? carly : so ric could prosecute sonny and i 'd never know that you were really behind it . look , steven told me that if i wanted to know the truth , i should ask you . so i 'm asking you , did you steal the file from sonny and give it to ric ? [ scene_break ] ric : so somehow after the fire you got into my filing cabinet and you took the evidence against sonny . you 're using it to blackmail him into giving up custody of kristina . alexis : that 's right . that 's exactly what i did . ric : you need to give me that file , alexis . alexis : no . ric : no ? alexis : no . what if you ca n't make the charges stick ? ric : oh , well , thanks for the vote of confidence . alexis : this is n't a personal attack . this is from bitter experience . you are not the first person that thought they had sonny cornered only for him to walk out of prison and back into his life . if he manages to maneuver his way out of this , he will take kristina . but if i have that file , he understands that he needs to cooperate , and if he does n't , i will hand the file over to you . there is n't a doubt in my mind that he would n't give up kristina to stay out of prison . ric : what did you promise him in return ? alexis : once i get full custody , the files disappear . however , i have no intention of honoring that agreement . ric : what ? alexis : once kristina is safe , i 'll hand the file to you , and you can prosecute him to the full extent of the law . ric : you realize you 're talking about open betrayal against sonny , right ? alexis : i understand that . ric : do you really ? do you really know what you 're risking here ? alexis : i will risk my life , but i wo n't risk my daughter 's . you want me to be fair ? you want me to be ethical ? do you think sonny 's going to be fair ? do you think the courts are going to be ethical ? i need to do whatever is necessary to keep kristina safe from sonny 's world , and my chances of doing that improve immeasurably if he is out of the picture for good . [ next_on ] emily : i 'm getting married today . nikolas : i 've never been more sure of anything in my life . alexis : i just want this to be over . ric : i think there 's a way to make it go faster . john : your backstabbing did n't work . carly believes me . carly : he did not steal the file . | as heather is telling the comatose edward how much she regrets all this , luke stops her , hitting her with all the accusations he has against her . she admits it all , adding that he will never see laura again if he is not nice . steve admits that john 's motives began badly , then changed , but carly is too mad to believe the last half . on her way to ream him out , a cop arrives to take her for questioning . nik wants to escape jail , but emily is afraid that it is too risky , so they ask mac to help at least let them marry . when edward and luke threaten heather , she takes skye hostage . thanks to mac , the wedding will be wednesday . they can have some alone time afterwards , but it will be guarded all the way . sam gives away the baby stuff . sonny tries to track down the file in question . carly and her father 's stories match , so ric 's case is a wash . during a diatribe against laura , heather has a flip out and claims to be laura . alexis tells ric she has the file , but wants it for blackmail , then betrayal . | <s>[INST] nikolas : wearing a path on the floor wo n't make lucky come back any sooner . elizabeth : i know , but he 's been gone an awfully long time , and i do n't know if that 's a good or a bad thing . emily : it has to be good . nikolas : well , it 'll work one way or another . elizabeth : oh , here he is . hey . so ? what happened ? emily : oh . oh , i do n't want to hear this , do i ? lucky : i 'm sorry , but the judge considers you a flight risk . nikolas : what ? lucky : he wo n't release you for any reason , including the marriage . nikolas : well , fine . then i 'll just have to find a way to escape .

[ scene_break ] carly : so sonny and jason were right ? my father , who i defended , is a lying snake who only came here to use me to destroy my husband and my family . steven : no , no , no , no . it 's true . initially , john came to work an angle against sonny . but that was before he got to know his daughter . carly , you have touched him in a way that no one else has . carly : right . steven : he genuinely cares for you . he even loves you . and you got to believe me , you got to believe me . for john durant , that is something that does not happen often , and it does not happen easily . carly : ok , fine , fine , fine . steven : no , carly , he does not want to lose you . carly : fine ! well , say that i believe it , all right ? say that 's true . it does n't prove that he did n't steal that file . it only proves that he was slick enough to get it to ric without alienating me . then john durant -- he can cover his tracks across the board . does that sound like that could be what happened here ? steven : look , carly , look -- carly : you know , i 'm only asking you because it 's really important to me right now . steven : i think john is capable of maneuvering the situation . but whether or not he did in this case , i do n't know . you have to ask him . [ scene_break ] john : all right , look , i can certainly understand why you 're desperate to get your hands on that file , but i ca n't help you , lansing , because i never saw the damn thing . and as far as pressing charges against carly for arson , i 've already told you she was here with me when the fire in your apartment started . ric : ok , i kind of figured you were going to stonewall . you really should run for office , durant . john : oh , you know , maybe i would , except for i 'm telling the truth . ric : ok , well , we need to make that official . i need a sworn statement from you about your whereabouts with your daughter that night , including a detailed explanation of how you passed the time . john : hey , yeah , i got no problem with that . set it up . ric : well , we 're going to do it right here and right now . see , i 'm not going to give you and carly a chance to synchronize your stories . i 'm going to get a statement from you , then i 'm going to get a statement from her . and if they differ , i mean , even slightly , then that means you , carly , and dr. steven webber are going to be in for one rough ride .

[ sonny sighs ] sonny : you want me to tell you what i think went down ? meyer : yes . sonny : i think someone made copies of that file when the original went missing , right ? then they brought it -- someone brought it -- they brought it here so it would magically reappear . does that theory sound feasible to you ? meyer : well , i -- i do n't really know , because i did n't -- sonny : now , meyer , you better answer this very carefully . you gave that file to durant , did n't you ? [ scene_break ] [ knock on door ] john : hey . carly : congratulations . it worked . john : excellent . what worked ? carly : ric called me into the station for questioning -- on my alibi , where i was the night of the fire , and he was grilling me the whole time , waiting to pounce on me if our answers did n't match up , but miraculously , they did . john : oh . well , that is excellent . great . carly : mm - hmm . yep . you know what also helped , though , right , that you were showing me the pictures of the family and everything ? john : right . carly : i will say , though , it tripped me up a little bit when he asked me if we 'd had anything to eat . john : you said no ? carly : just like you . john : great minds . carly : i do n't know . i do n't know if it was that or if it was the way that ric asked me the question . it kind of seemed like it was a trick , and i just thought the safest thing to say would be no . john : oh , you got good instincts , just like your old man ! carly : ok . of course , you did know what ric was going to do . you were right , and it did save me from going to prison for arson . i do n't know how i 'm going to thank you . john : hey , you do n't have to thank me . besides , i get the feeling you 're here for something else . something else is bothering you , right ? carly : yeah , actually , but i think you know what it is . it 's the file that almost sent sonny to prison for life . [ scene_break ] ric : i do n't get it . that file contains strong evidence and enough rico violations to put sonny away for the rest of his life , which solves the custody issue . alexis , no sane judge in the country is going to give kristina to somebody who 's facing sentencing in pentonville . why are you stalling me on this ? alexis : i think that he 's going to back down at the last minute , just like he did with carly and the boys . ric : well , i think you 're wrong . i mean , in that case , sonny still loved carly . it 's a different situation with you . alexis : he did what was best for the children , and i think this is all going to work out . ric : oh , my god . you have the file , do n't you ? [ scene_break ] luke : no sign of either one of them . edward : time to call the police . luke : no ! edward , no cops . heather 's future just blew up in her face . she 's got nothing left to lose now . if she 's cornered , two lives are in danger -- skye 's and laura 's . that 's a risk we ca n't take . [ scene_break ] heather : i could have killed you , you know ? i still might . after all , you blatantly tried to take luke away from me . skye : oh , luke was never yours to take , heather . heather : oh , he 's been mine since the day we met . he 's my husband . he loves me , only me . skye : did you say your husband ? heather : you must still be too groggy from the medication i gave you to realize who you 're talking to . i noticed you called me heather . skye : what else would i call you ? heather : try my name . skye , take a closer look . it 's me , laura . [ scene_break ] meyer : i swear , mr. corinthos , i did n't steal that file , and i never gave it to durant . he -- he just had it . i -- i do n't know how . but he handed it to me , and he said that if i put it back he 'd keep me away from any fallout . i 'm an accountant . my work is with numbers . i -- i was scared so i did what he wanted . i see now that i made a grave mistake , but at the time doing what durant wanted seemed like the only solution . sonny : i need to be able to trust the people that i employ , meyer . if i ca n't , they 're useless . meyer : please do n't kill me . there must be something i can do to make this right . sonny : yeah . we might be able to work something out , meyer . meyer : anything . you just name it , i 'll do it . sonny : you bring me proof of what you just told me -- that durant came here and stole that file and gave it to ric -- and i 'll let you live . meyer : thank you , sir . thank you . sonny : now get out of here . one more thing , meyer . if you think you can just disappear , right , i want you to remember something . bam -- no bullets . [ scene_break ] carly : look , i asked steven point - blank if you were capable of stealing the evidence from sonny and giving it to ric . john : carly , why ? why would i do something like that ? carly : so ric could prosecute sonny and i 'd never know that you were really behind it . look , steven told me that if i wanted to know the truth , i should ask you . so i 'm asking you , did you steal the file from sonny and give it to ric ? [ scene_break ] ric : so somehow after the fire you got into my filing cabinet and you took the evidence against sonny . you 're using it to blackmail him into giving up custody of kristina . alexis : that 's right . that 's exactly what i did . ric : you need to give me that file , alexis . alexis : no . ric : no ? alexis : no . what if you ca n't make the charges stick ? ric : oh , well , thanks for the vote of confidence . alexis : this is n't a personal attack . this is from bitter experience . you are not the first person that thought they had sonny cornered only for him to walk out of prison and back into his life . if he manages to maneuver his way out of this , he will take kristina . but if i have that file , he understands that he needs to cooperate , and if he does n't , i will hand the file over to you . there is n't a doubt in my mind that he would n't give up kristina to stay out of prison . ric : what did you promise him in return ? alexis : once i get full custody , the files disappear . however , i have no intention of honoring that agreement . ric : what ? alexis : once kristina is safe , i 'll hand the file to you , and you can prosecute him to the full extent of the law . ric : you realize you 're talking about open betrayal against sonny , right ? alexis : i understand that . ric : do you really ? do you really know what you 're risking here ? alexis : i will risk my life , but i wo n't risk my daughter 's . you want me to be fair ? you want me to be ethical ? do you think sonny 's going to be fair ? do you think the courts are going to be ethical ? i need to do whatever is necessary to keep kristina safe from sonny 's world , and my chances of doing that improve immeasurably if he is out of the picture for good . [ next_on ] emily : i 'm getting married today . nikolas : i 've never been more sure of anything in my life . alexis : i just want this to be over . ric : i think there 's a way to make it go faster . john : your backstabbing did n't work . carly believes me . carly : he did not steal the file .Summarize.[/INST]as heather is telling the comatose edward how much she regrets all this , luke stops her , hitting her with all the accusations he has against her . she admits it all , adding that he will never see laura again if he is not nice . steve admits that john 's motives began badly , then changed , but carly is too mad to believe the last half . on her way to ream him out , a cop arrives to take her for questioning . nik wants to escape jail , but emily is afraid that it is too risky , so they ask mac to help at least let them marry . when edward and luke threaten heather , she takes skye hostage . thanks to mac , the wedding will be wednesday . they can have some alone time afterwards , but it will be guarded all the way . sam gives away the baby stuff . sonny tries to track down the file in question . carly and her father 's stories match , so ric 's case is a wash . during a diatribe against laura , heather has a flip out and claims to be laura . alexis tells ric she has the file , but wants it for blackmail , then betrayal .</s> | 12,097 |

[ scene_break ] tracy : luke made a pass at you ? that 's ridiculous . kiki : yeah , and to think i did n't want to tell you , given what your family 's going through , but it 's true . tracy : you 're lying . kiki : i do n't care what you think about me . i 'm not lying . tracy : luke would n't do that ! kiki : i hope you wake up , because i 'm telling you the truth . tracy : look , i do n't know what game you 're playing , but whatever this scheme is , it 's not gon na work , so if you 're smart , you 're gon na drop it right now . silas : get your hands off my daughter . tracy : then you tell your daughter to stop lying . kiki : [ scoffs ] silas : you okay ? kiki : i 'm fine , but thank you for scaring her off . silas : do you want to talk about it ? kiki : tracy does n't like what her fiancé did behind her back .

[ chuckles ] [ scene_break ] madeline : what are you talking about ? nathan : i 'm starting to think that nina 's death was n't clay 's fault . madeline : of course , it was . how can you doubt that ? nathan : clay has an alibi for the assault on the pharmacist , henry nakamura . now , if he was n't trying to shut him up , then it may be that he 's the one who killed nina . madeline : is it a credible alibi ? nathan : he was talking to a patient at the time that nakamura was injected . madeline : well , maybe the patient is lying . nathan : no , it seems that the phone records back him up , too . madeline : that does n't mean that silas did n't kill nina . maybe he put ava up to killing the pharmacist . nathan : see , from the beginning , clay has been saying that ava 's trying to frame him . now , if they were working together , why would he do that ? madeline : so people would n't think they were working together . honestly , james , you 're usually such a thorough investigator . has n't the thought ever entered your mind that -- that maybe silas ' hatred toward ava is all for show ? i 'm beginning to think he 's playing you . nathan : and was he playing me when he told me he signed that document for you ? madeline : [ sighs ] [ scene_break ] sonny : monica 's always hated me , ever since jason came to work for me . even she does n't believe that , um , i would break my word to my son and shoot aj . ava : oh , sonny . you have to stop torturing yourself . sonny : how am i supposed to do that , after what i did ? how am i supposed to do that ? ava : what , exactly , did you do ? yes , you -- you broke your word to michael , but aj had it coming . he murdered connie . now , i know how much you loved her , and you will never know how sorry i am for your loss , but you have absolutely nothing to feel guilty about . sonny : i was ready to kill ... aj the night connie died . i found him at the quartermaines ' . he was so drunk he could n't stand . i was -- oh , he was on his knees . i was ready to shoot him . michael and dante walked in . ava : well , it 's good -- it 's good that you did n't kill him in front of your son , the cop . sonny : no , it was n't -- it was n't dante who got through to me . it was michael . he did n't defend aj . he did n't , uh -- he just wanted me to spare his life , and i knew that if i killed that bastard that it would always be there , with me and my son . so i promised him . i gave him my word . you know what that means ? do you know what that means ? ava : sonny , it was n't your fault . aj was acting like a madman that night . sonny : i have four children . michael is the only one who grew up with me in my house . dante i met when he was a man . alexis always kept a distance between me and kristina , like carly did with morgan . [ sniffles ] michael was the only one that i taught to tie his shoes , to swim , to throw a baseball . among other things , i taught him honor . `` you have to keep your word , 'cause it 's the only thing you got , and if you do n't keep your word , you 're not a man . `` so what did i do ? i broke my word to my son . ava : sonny . it 's not as if you planned to shoot aj . and , besides ... what michael does n't know wo n't hurt him . [ scene_break ] michael : what did aj want to tell you ? what was so important that he stopped you from getting the doctors ? carly : he -- he wanted me to tell you that he loved you . michael : [ inhales sharply ] [ sighs ] yeah , i was n't there . [ sighs ] carly : no . stop . okay ? you stop that , because aj knew how much you loved him , okay ? he did , and he would n't want you blaming yourself . michael : [ sighs ] this past year , he really was my father . [ sighs ] carly : you know what ? you hold on to that , okay ? because that was the best of aj , and he loved you so much , sweetie . look at me . he loved you . i 'm so sorry . michael : [ sighs ] carly : oh , i 'm so sorry . michael : mom , i want to go be with aj . carly : of course . okay . hey . i 'm so sorry . i love you . michael : yeah , i love you , too .

[ scene_break ] nathan : clay told me that he signed that document giving up his claim to nina 's money . is that not true ? madeline : it is true . he did sign it , but that does not mean that silas did n't try to kill nina 20 years ago , so he could be with his pregnant mistress . nathan : look , i know that it seems strange to consider that silas is not the one that took nina from us . all these years , we thought he was guilty . madeline : because he is guilty . james , you were a child . you -- you did n't really know silas back then . he was an opportunist who tried to drive a wedge between nina and her family , and then when he got tired of her , he just got rid of her . do n't let him try to fool you . i know the real silas clay . nathan : it 's possible that he is guilty , but it 's also possible that ava has been the guilty party this whole time and that we 've been blaming the wrong person . [ scene_break ] julian : oh , i would forget about luke . like most of ava 's clients , i ca n't really explain him . sam : luke can be very eccentric . i know -- i know because i know him very well . that was strange , even for him . julian : yeah , well , he is engaged to tracy quartermaine . what 's stranger than that , hmm ? sam : that 's true . [ chuckles ] julian : so , what can i do for you ? sam : okay , um , remember when you told me that you would do anything to help me prove that ava was framing silas ? julian : yes . i meant it then , and i have n't changed my mind . sam : okay . well , i have an idea about how to bring ava down , and i was hoping that maybe you could help me . julian : whatever it is , i 'm in . you just tell me what you need . [ scene_break ] sonny : michael may not know what i did , but i do . ava : i understand . sonny : [ sighs ] ava : i do . it can be painful , living with a guilty conscience . most people have done things they regret , including myself . i 'm sure it would n't surprise you to hear that i have done plenty of things i regret . sonny : it sounds like you 're talking about something specific . you got something to feel guilty about ? carly : sonny ? what are you still doing here ? ava : well , carly , i 'm still here supporting my daughter , just like sonny is here supporting his son . carly : well , your support is n't needed anymore . aj 's dead .

[ scene_break ] nathan : i understand how you feel about silas clay . it 's just that the more i investigate , the more it seems like ava is the guilty party . and is n't that the most important thing -- that we -- we punish the right person ? do n't we owe that to nina ? madeline : and how do we make that happen ? nathan : [ sighs ] i have something in the works .

[ sighs ] nikolas : thank you . elizabeth : okay , you 're inside . start talking . nikolas : okay . [ sighs ] once the shock of britt 's lies had passed , the -- the only thing that i could think about was the unconscionable way i treated you , and ... you just told me what i needed to hear . and you kept me from making a terrible mistake , but -- but my -- my point is , that even if you had n't , liz , we 've -- we 've known each other too long . we -- we mean too much to each other for me to have treated you that way , and i 'm just -- i 'm -- i 'm sorry . elizabeth : you 're the only person who can use the word `` unconscionable `` and still sound sincere . nikolas : [ scoffs ] yeah . maybe you 're right . maybe i am turning into my uncle . elizabeth : no . nikolas : the way i acted last night -- that 's something he would have done . elizabeth : no , do n't go that far . nikolas : it 's just -- it 's no excuse . but , liz , i had been planning a life together with britt . i was gon na let her be a mother to spencer , but as it turns out , i had no idea who she really is . so , you see , i was really angry with her , but i -- but i took it out on you instead , and you did n't deserve that , and i 'm completely wrong , and i am beyond -- beyond sorry . can you ever forgive me ? [ scene_break ] tracy : luke made a pass at you ? that 's ridiculous . kiki : yeah , and to think i did n't want to tell you , given what your family 's going through , but it 's true . tracy : you 're lying . kiki : i do n't care what you think about me . i 'm not lying . tracy : luke would n't do that ! kiki : i hope you wake up , because i 'm telling you the truth . tracy : look , i do n't know what game you 're playing , but whatever this scheme is , it 's not gon na work , so if you 're smart , you 're gon na drop it right now . silas : get your hands off my daughter . tracy : then you tell your daughter to stop lying . kiki : [ scoffs ] silas : you okay ? kiki : i 'm fine , but thank you for scaring her off . silas : do you want to talk about it ? kiki : tracy does n't like what her fiancé did behind her back .

[ chuckles ] [ scene_break ] madeline : what are you talking about ? nathan : i 'm starting to think that nina 's death was n't clay 's fault . madeline : of course , it was . how can you doubt that ? nathan : clay has an alibi for the assault on the pharmacist , henry nakamura . now , if he was n't trying to shut him up , then it may be that he 's the one who killed nina . madeline : is it a credible alibi ? nathan : he was talking to a patient at the time that nakamura was injected . madeline : well , maybe the patient is lying . nathan : no , it seems that the phone records back him up , too . madeline : that does n't mean that silas did n't kill nina . maybe he put ava up to killing the pharmacist . nathan : see , from the beginning , clay has been saying that ava 's trying to frame him . now , if they were working together , why would he do that ? madeline : so people would n't think they were working together . honestly , james , you 're usually such a thorough investigator . has n't the thought ever entered your mind that -- that maybe silas ' hatred toward ava is all for show ? i 'm beginning to think he 's playing you . nathan : and was he playing me when he told me he signed that document for you ? madeline : [ sighs ] [ scene_break ] sonny : monica 's always hated me , ever since jason came to work for me . even she does n't believe that , um , i would break my word to my son and shoot aj . ava : oh , sonny . you have to stop torturing yourself . sonny : how am i supposed to do that , after what i did ? how am i supposed to do that ? ava : what , exactly , did you do ? yes , you -- you broke your word to michael , but aj had it coming . he murdered connie . now , i know how much you loved her , and you will never know how sorry i am for your loss , but you have absolutely nothing to feel guilty about . sonny : i was ready to kill ... aj the night connie died . i found him at the quartermaines ' . he was so drunk he could n't stand . i was -- oh , he was on his knees . i was ready to shoot him . michael and dante walked in . ava : well , it 's good -- it 's good that you did n't kill him in front of your son , the cop . sonny : no , it was n't -- it was n't dante who got through to me . it was michael . he did n't defend aj . he did n't , uh -- he just wanted me to spare his life , and i knew that if i killed that bastard that it would always be there , with me and my son . so i promised him . i gave him my word . you know what that means ? do you know what that means ? ava : sonny , it was n't your fault . aj was acting like a madman that night . sonny : i have four children . michael is the only one who grew up with me in my house . dante i met when he was a man . alexis always kept a distance between me and kristina , like carly did with morgan . [ sniffles ] michael was the only one that i taught to tie his shoes , to swim , to throw a baseball . among other things , i taught him honor . `` you have to keep your word , 'cause it 's the only thing you got , and if you do n't keep your word , you 're not a man . `` so what did i do ? i broke my word to my son . ava : sonny . it 's not as if you planned to shoot aj . and , besides ... what michael does n't know wo n't hurt him . [ scene_break ] michael : what did aj want to tell you ? what was so important that he stopped you from getting the doctors ? carly : he -- he wanted me to tell you that he loved you . michael : [ inhales sharply ] [ sighs ] yeah , i was n't there . [ sighs ] carly : no . stop . okay ? you stop that , because aj knew how much you loved him , okay ? he did , and he would n't want you blaming yourself . michael : [ sighs ] this past year , he really was my father . [ sighs ] carly : you know what ? you hold on to that , okay ? because that was the best of aj , and he loved you so much , sweetie . look at me . he loved you . i 'm so sorry . michael : [ sighs ] carly : oh , i 'm so sorry . michael : mom , i want to go be with aj . carly : of course . okay . hey . i 'm so sorry . i love you . michael : yeah , i love you , too . [ scene_break ] [ elevator dings , door opens ] luke : i thought i 'd find you here . how you holding up ? tracy : where have you been ? luke : i ca n't tell you . tracy : why ? luke : it 's a surprise for your birthday . tracy : oh . you remembered . luke : well , of course . tracy : [ chuckles ] that is not a foregone conclusion . luke : fair enough . [ sighs ] but i told you -- i 'm a new man determined to do things differently this time . tracy : then i guess i 'll just have to let it slide . luke : i have always appreciated your flexibility ... in all areas . [ both chuckle ] tracy : i ran into your little friend kiki . luke : oh ? and ? tracy : i confronted her about , uh , making a pass at you . luke : okay . what 'd she say ? tracy : she said you were the one that made a pass at her . luke : [ scoffs ] [ sighs ] [ scene_break ] kiki : thanks again for stepping in with tracy . silas : no problem . kiki : i should probably get back to michael at the icu . you need to get back to work , too , right ? silas : no , actually , i was gon na try to go in there for a minute . kiki : is everything okay ? silas : no , it 's not . nina passed away . kiki : are you kidding me ? i 'm so sorry . silas : so am i . kiki : you want me to go in there with you ? silas : no . i 'm fine . you -- you go be with michael , okay ? [ scene_break ] nathan : clay told me that he signed that document giving up his claim to nina 's money . is that not true ? madeline : it is true . he did sign it , but that does not mean that silas did n't try to kill nina 20 years ago , so he could be with his pregnant mistress . nathan : look , i know that it seems strange to consider that silas is not the one that took nina from us . all these years , we thought he was guilty . madeline : because he is guilty . james , you were a child . you -- you did n't really know silas back then . he was an opportunist who tried to drive a wedge between nina and her family , and then when he got tired of her , he just got rid of her . do n't let him try to fool you . i know the real silas clay . nathan : it 's possible that he is guilty , but it 's also possible that ava has been the guilty party this whole time and that we 've been blaming the wrong person . [ scene_break ] julian : oh , i would forget about luke . like most of ava 's clients , i ca n't really explain him . sam : luke can be very eccentric . i know -- i know because i know him very well . that was strange , even for him . julian : yeah , well , he is engaged to tracy quartermaine . what 's stranger than that , hmm ? sam : that 's true . [ chuckles ] julian : so , what can i do for you ? sam : okay , um , remember when you told me that you would do anything to help me prove that ava was framing silas ? julian : yes . i meant it then , and i have n't changed my mind . sam : okay . well , i have an idea about how to bring ava down , and i was hoping that maybe you could help me . julian : whatever it is , i 'm in . you just tell me what you need . [ scene_break ] sonny : michael may not know what i did , but i do . ava : i understand . sonny : [ sighs ] ava : i do . it can be painful , living with a guilty conscience . most people have done things they regret , including myself . i 'm sure it would n't surprise you to hear that i have done plenty of things i regret . sonny : it sounds like you 're talking about something specific . you got something to feel guilty about ? carly : sonny ? what are you still doing here ? ava : well , carly , i 'm still here supporting my daughter , just like sonny is here supporting his son . carly : well , your support is n't needed anymore . aj 's dead .

[ scene_break ] sam : the police will probably show up soon . any time there 's a break - in or unsolved shooting , you get picked up for questioning . jason : yeah , well , the district attorney can add three more names to the list of people he thinks i killed . sam : no , you can not believe a word out of durant 's mouth . he hates you , and maybe you did kill some of the people he 's talking about , jason , but they 're far from innocent . jason : how can you be so sure ? you know , i thought i did n't talk about my work with you . sam : you did n't . jason : well , maybe that 's why . maybe , you know , i wanted you to love me , so i could n't tell you that the people i killed were innocent , that the only thing they did wrong was get in sonny 's way . sam : why are you so determined to believe the worst in yourself ? jason : because of what just happened . i shot three people . i did n't even stop and think . you know , maybe that 's what i do . i just shut down , i do the work , i do n't think , i do n't question anything , i do n't feel sorry for any -- what happened to your wrist ? that 's where i grabbed you when i ran away . i hurt you .

[ scene_break ] lucky : i trust your love . in fact , the person i do n't trust is myself . my out- of - control , over - the - top pride is what got us here in the first place and -- elizabeth : oh , no , please , there is plenty of blame to go around . i was in such a hurry to solve our money problems , i did n't really stop and consider this particular situation . but it 's too late for second thoughts . this baby is a part of me . but it 's also a part of jax . i 'm not about to give this child up , and i do n't see how i can take it away from jax , either . at the very least , this baby 's going to want to know where he or she came from . i 'm not going to be able to lie , just like i 'm not going to lie to cameron and tell him that you 're his biological father or that zander and i were ever married . my children deserve the truth , and that means that this baby is going to grow up knowing that jax is his father . i guess that joint custody just seems to be the best solution . lucky : have you considered what this child 's life is going to be ? bouncing back and forth between a life of luxury with jax and barely scraping by with you and me ? i mean , how long do you think it 's going to be before he or she is going to want to live with jax permanently ? [ scene_break ] courtney : you know , i think you misunderstood me earlier when i was talking about us being together at your house this winter . i was n't planning on moving in , you know . i was n't even anticipating that we would be together months from now . nikolas : well , why would n't we be ? courtney : because you still love emily . nikolas , you wish you would have stayed together , you wish you would have stayed committed to your marriage , it 's -- nikolas : you 're wrong . courtney : look , i know that there were problems , and maybe they were insurmountable . but you 'll never know that now , because you had a weak moment and you lied to her about going to new york instead of the bahamas , and then you -- we had another weak moment and emily walked in . hey , it was an artificial breaking point . i mean , instead of you guys leaving each other or staying together and working on things , you -- nikolas : i disagree . courtney : look , i 'm not imagining the look on your face when you see emily . no , i mean , it 's a look of longing and regret and , look , maybe you just gave up a little too soon and you 're sorry , and that 's ok . it is . really . i mean , i do n't want you to feel obligated to be with me . you do n't have to be with me .

victoria : you left fairview ? sharon : obviously . nick : you did n't go through with the evaluation ? sharon : no , i did . it does n't actually take three days . i - i mean , it would , i suppose , if there were something wrong , but in my case , no . oh , hmm . made yourself at home , i see . well , just be careful when you 're packing up your personal things , because i would n't want anything to go missing and then you two accuse me of stealing it . victoria : does the judge even know that you 've been released ? sharon : if he does n't , he will soon , and once he hears from dr. laurents that i 'm in perfect mental health , i will be back in charge , where i belong . victoria : ( scoffs ) [ scene_break ] nina : thanks . man : good to see your face again . paul : hey , thanks , dave . dave : for what it 's worth , nobody who 's ever met you is gon na buy this story . the idea that you 'd hurt somebody for no reason -- it just would n't happen . paul : thank you again . i really appreciate that . nina : you see ? people know you . they believe in you . paul : the jury does n't know me , and if they were to see the videotape that ricky made accusing me of being obsessive and out to get him ... nina : ( sighs ) paul : i could have the pope testify for me , and it would n't make any difference . [ scene_break ] ronan : you 're absolutely positive ? okay . yeah , all right . keep me posted , okay ? ronan : michael . michael : huh ? ronan : daisy carter is alive . daisy carter is alive . i just got confirmation . ( sighs ) michael : how did they find -- w - was she hurt ? where did they find her ? ronan : she 's been in a mental hospital under an assumed name . she 's been pretending to be a head case , and apparently , she decided that she 's had enough and she told them who she really is . michael : you know what this means ? ronan : i know . michael : this changes everything for paul . [ scene_break ] nikki : well , my guess is that it 's been something of a relief to you , having victor gone . billy : i would n't say that . nikki : now i 'm not asking to take over your entire show , just a short segment where we can tell people that victor is missing and flash a number they could call if they have seen him . i 'm sure you 'll get a lot of publicity . billy : yeah , that 's kind of the least of my concerns . nikki : oh , you 're thinking the same way i am , that victor might be in serious trouble . look , i have not shared that with victoria . please do n't . i want her to think that he 's fine ...

[ scene_break ] michael : the last time anyone saw daisy before that ? it -- all -- fine , just keep me apprised of the situation . ronan : daisy tried killing herself ? michael : yeah . she took a whole bunch of pills . they found her passed out . ronan : okay , so maybe she was n't pretending to be unstable . was she going to make it ? michael : they think so , but she 's still in a coma , so who knows when that 'll change or if she 'll ever remember anything when she does come to ? ronan : so not only is daisy alive , which disproves paul 's story that ricky killed her , she 's in a coma , so she ca n't tell us what in the hell happened or who she 's hiding from . michael : which matters ... because if daisy were hiding from the law and the arrest warrant out for her . ronan : means that ricky was trying to help her , and that 's why he had her wallet and her phone ? michael : but if she were hiding from ricky and can corroborate that he was a threat to her or eden ... ronan : or the both of them . michael : then paul has enough to justify shooting ricky . ronan : at the very least , it would go a long way towards counteracting that video ricky made . michael : is it too much to hope that paul will catch a break just this once ? [ scene_break ] victor : genny . genevieve : ( clears throat ) okay , so , um ... you -- you 're not gon na go work this shift , are you ? victor : yep , i 'm going to . genevieve : but what about your hand ? victor : ( exhales slowly ) it feels a little better because of you . thank you . genevieve : yes , but still , you know , i - it needs some time to heal . just -- just take this time off . victor : thank you , thank you . genevieve : you 're welcome . victor : i 'm not gon na give management the satisfaction . besides , i need the money . genevieve : ( chuckles ) okay , well , just be careful . victor : okay , all right . bye . genevieve : that was him leaving . you know , every time he walks out of here , i 'm afraid that he might not come back in one piece . tucker : are n't you being a little dramatic ? genevieve : he was jumped from behind and badly beaten . tucker : victor can take care of himself . genevieve : ( laughs ) victor does n't know his own name , and your plan i - is n't working , you know ? he was supposed to come back to town in a blaze of glory and -- and -- and the stock price was meant to shoot up . how do you think the people are going to react when they find out that he has lost his memory ? tucker : we can orchestrate how much people find out about that and when . it 's also possible he 'll recover once he 's back in familiar surroundings . genevieve : well , then let 's bring him back now . tucker : listen , the stock price is about to go over a cliff if sharon is reinstated as c.e.o . now i am ready to back up the truck when that happens and buy as much as i can . then we can start planning the great one 's triumphant return ... and our big payday . genevieve : then send me some help . i need bodyguards to keep victor alive . you know , if nothing else , he 's an asset you need to protect . tucker : eh , when it comes right down to it , there are a number of people who could run newman at least as well as victor could . what 's this ? genevieve : are you talking to me ? tucker : no , hold on . there 's a courier here . sit down .

[ scene_break ] victoria : so the doctor showed you his report on you , or told you what he was gon na say to the judge ? sharon : i think the fact that he released me ahead of schedule tells you all you need to know . nick : it says he does n't think you need to be hospitalized . victoria : which is huge progress and something you should definitely be proud of , sharon , but there 's kind of a wide spectrum between not needing a straitjacket and ready to run a major corporation . nick : it sounds like you do n't have confirmation what the evaluation will say . sharon : i think you two are the ones who need evaluating if you seriously think that the nasty lies you 've been spreading about me would cost me my position . victoria : i 'm just saying i think it 's a little soon for you to be redecorating , is all .

[ scene_break ] victoria : i mean , whether or not sharon was able to convince the doctor that she 's fine , she stole those things . she knows that she 's losing it . i mean , should n't that be enough to convince her to just step back and let the people that know how to run the company run it ? billy : but see , that wo n't solve her problem . victoria : yes , it would . billy : no , it would n't , because her problem is your father humiliated her . from her perspective , he abandoned her on their wedding night , made a fool out of her . so now she 's out to prove that he 's wrong , that everybody 's wrong , and that she 's stronger and smarter and better than any of us ever realized . now i 'm sure , in her fantasies , victor comes crawling back and he begs for her forgiveness and then he stops and asks for her investment advice . victoria : have you talked to sharon about this ? billy : let 's just say ... ( sighs ) i understand how being pissed off at your father might push someone over the edge , make 'em do some things they would n't normally do . victoria : it does n't let her off the hook . billy : no . nobody 's off the hook . victoria : i mean , look at you . you have more right to be pissed off at my dad than anybody . but are you lashing out ? are you letting it take over your life and change who you are ?

[ door opens ] jordan : back in the day , i worked with three counterfeiters who specialized in passports . one 's dead , but i reached out to the other two . chelsea : and ? did either one of them sell chloe a fake ? jordan : i promised you i 'd ask , and i did . but you 're not gon na like what i found out . victor : and now to the last item on the agenda . i 've been interested for a while in acquiring a digital - media company . i think we need one to be part of the newman portfolio . scott : i 'm surprised there is n't one already . victor : it 's an oversight . needs to be rectified . both of you , together . abby : wonderful . victor : your expertise in journalism , scott , will allow you to look at some good prospects . and you , my darling , with your financial expertise , will look at the financial health of whatever company we target . abby : since i 'm mentoring scott , i should be the one to make decisions , agreed ? victor : yes , but i want you to make use of his real - life experience . abby : yes , yes . it 'll be very interesting to see what scott brings to the table . scott : likewise . abby : hmm . so , uh , i 'd like a list of 10 different companies newman should be interested in , with supporting research data . i 'll take it from there . i have somewhere to be . is this meeting adjourned ? victor : that does it , my darling . abby : great . cane : okay , uh ... move victoria 's quote to the second paragraph , and the press release will be done . juliet : okay . well , let 's hope there are n't any more changes , like her taking billy 's suggestions back out . cane : yeah , well , that 's vindictive , and she 's too professional for that . juliet : the other night , over drinks , she mentioned she wanted a future with billy . now that she 's lost him to this phyllis woman ... cane : well , she 's not gon na cut us out . juliet : glad to hear it . cane : she keeps giving billy chances , and he keeps letting her down . the other night , i told her i was in her corner , and she said she would rely on me more . juliet : hmm . well , play things right , who knows ? maybe she 'll make you second in command . victoria : there 's really nothing to debate . i mean , i said you can see the kids whenever you want . billy : yeah , as long as it 's just me and not phyllis . no , i get that . i just ... i want to make sure it 's not weird for you , seeing me that much outside the office . i thought maybe an official schedule might -- victoria : uh , `` official `` ? billy : well , i would like to see johnny and katie as much as i 've been seeing them lately . and when they 're here , it would be great if i could come say good night to them on nights that you were okay with . victoria : yeah . i 'd like that , too . billy : yeah ? victoria : yeah . i mean , you know ... we want to do what 's best for the kids . in fact , if you want to stop by every night to say good night to them , it 's fine with me . although i ... [ sighs ] billy : no , please . i want to be as open and honest as possible . victoria : i just doubt that phyllis will love you being unavailable for a chunk of every evening . billy : vic , they 're my kids . she 'll understand . and she did raise a child after her divorce , so i think she gets the drill . victoria : okay , great . so , then we 're on the same page . billy : this went a lot easier than i expected . but we 're in a good place . hopefully , we can keep that . victoria : mm - hmm . why should n't we ? nick : got to ask -- i mean , are you sure this is what you and billy want ? phyllis : nick , it 's not a rebound . nick : okay . i believe you . phyllis : billy and i are the real deal . and we are just very glad that it 's finally out in the open . and we know that some people are gon na have a hard time accepting it , but ... like you said , that 's the way things shook out . we 're really not trying to hurt anyone . nick : well , vic was hurt , you know , the way things went down . she really thought she and billy were building something together . she never meant to push billy away . phyllis : i know , but she did , over and over . nick : well , there are reasons for that -- good ones . phyllis : well , you can only ride that roller coaster for so long before you need to walk away . jack : well , you seem more worked up about this epic love affair than i am . am i thrilled they 're together ? no . am i taking it out on phyllis ? no . i got past that . as for billy , i have said all along , i do n't care what he does . they want to be together , fine . actually , it is n't that big a surprise . it kind of feels like we 've come full circle . ashley : i just do n't understand how you could be so nonchalant about the whole thing . jack : phyllis and i never stood a chance . we had one perfect moment in our marriage -- the wedding . after that , we were doomed by what victor did to us . there was a chasm there we could never overcome . and billy , ever the opportunist , took full advantage of it . so now he thinks they 're gon na live happily ever after . good luck to that . ashley : well , you could act like you do n't care all you want , but i still know , deep down inside , you would 've preferred if billy stayed far away from phyllis . stupid question , jacky . now that everything is out in the open , what are the chances that you and billy can find a way back to each other as brothers ? jack : between slim and none . victoria : great job on these revisions . let 's get this out there right away . cane : all right , consider it done . billy : yeah , i 'd like to echo what victoria said -- excellent job implementing the ideas . really good . juliet : thank you . cane : all right . if that 's everything ... billy : actually , uh , while everybody 's here , there 's an idea i 'd like to pitch , if that 's all right . victoria : yeah , by all means . billy : well , lily 's professional tour that she 's on right now promoting our pro hockey tie - in has been going extremely well . sales are on the rise , and i think it 's time that we capitalize on it . victoria : how ? billy : national tv ads . we promote dare as the official men 's grooming line of pro hockey . we can get a couple of the players to appear with lily . i 've already been in contact with callie weston -- juliet : the movie director ? billy : she 's a huge hockey fan . we shoot in l.a. , she 's on board . and if we move on this now , we can get it done by the time the finals roll around . so , what do you say ? cane : uh , i say it 's a good idea , but it sounds expensive . i mean , can you quantify the return on investment , or is this money just going out the door ? billy : our partnership with hockey has enormous potential to really expand our brand , not only to our demographic but for men 35 and over . callie said she 'll work for scale . she 's that excited about it . so , what do you say ? can i run with this ? victoria : i love it . i love it . let 's get it out there this season . i do n't want to wait till the next winter . billy : fantastic . yeah , i 'll move on it right now , fast - track it . victoria : okay . would you grab lily and jordan ? i want to share the good news with them . it 's a really good idea . chelsea : you have nothing ? how can that be ? jordan : both of my guys are out of the passport game now . with all the new material that the feds are using , they ca n't keep up . they do n't have the skill set anymore . chelsea : i do n't believe this . jordan : creating a forgery nowadays is just damn near impossible . whoever hooked up your friend has to have major underground connections and some serious cash . chelsea : chloe does n't know anybody who would be willing to put themselves on the line like that . at least not that i know of . i mean , god knows she was a master at keeping secrets . [ raps desk ] jordan : sorry i could n't help . chelsea : do n't apologize . you tried .

did a behind - the - scenes , making - of video , something to show exclusively on our website ? billy : it could be a great way to drive traffic . victoria : yeah , let 's do it . cane : i just do n't want to be a broken record here , but i 'm just concerned about the cost of all this . victoria : okay , look -- i 'm not ignoring your concerns . we 'll just tell the director at the ad agency that they ca n't blow through our budget for the year . sometimes you have to take some risks in order to get the payoff . am i right ? billy : yeah , cane , come on . go big or go home , right ? victoria : i think that we should all get behind this . i want us working together as a team , both here and in los angeles . cane : absolutely . i am behind you 100 % . chelsea : oh , you 're so sweet , but i do n't think doughnuts are the answer . nick : all right , well , they 're here if you change your mind . look , uh ... you know , i know you 're upset . those letters that chloe sent billy and kevin ... chelsea : yeah , i mean , i just do n't get it . two letters postmarked in two different countries . so now not only can we not tell where she is , but we ca n't even tell she is actually the person that sent the letters . it just -- it just makes me crazy , 'cause now i ca n't stop thinking about where she is . i 'm thinking about what she 's doing ... nick : look , there are some questions we may never get an answer to . chelsea : well , i ca n't accept that . nick : you 're obsessing , all right ? it 's not good for you . chelsea : look , i know you wish i would just drop this , but i ca n't sit back and do nothing while the woman who killed my husband and her accomplice are just roaming the streets . nick : accomplice ? chelsea : someone had to help her get away . i need to find them -- both of them . i need to track them down , nick . and i want you to help me . lily : i 'm so excited . l.a. is so much fun . what do you think about wrapping a few vacation days around the shoot ? you know , we can go up the coast to santa barbara . we can visit some wineries . cane : sounds like a great getaway , does n't it ? lily : is that a yes ? cane : all right , look , it 's not that i do n't want to go , okay ? it 's just ... lily : no , i get it . it 's billy . you 're upset this got greenlighted after you objected . cane : all right , he humiliated her , okay ? and she still would n't say no to him . lily : victoria is a big girl . their relationship is their business . cane : okay . why do n't you understand this ? lily : hey , you are creating a competition where none exists . victoria has approved plenty of your ideas . she 's judging them purely based on merit . cane : no , that 's not why she 's doing this . she wants him back . and she 's prepared to put the company out on a limb financially to do it . we can barely afford to hire juliet . lily : you know what ? all of this talk about budgets and billy and victoria ... has it even occurred to you this commercial 's a great opportunity for me ? why ca n't you be happy for me the way i was for you when you closed the asian deal ? cane : i 'm sorry . okay . i 'm sorry . i 'm happy for you , i am . come here . i 'm sorry . i 'm sorry . jordan : sorry to interrupt . i 'm just on my way out . cane : [ sighs ] lily : look , you know what ? you 're busy . you have a lot of work to do , so i 'm gon na take off , too , okay ? cane : all right . cane : oh , man . victoria : because of the tight timeframe , i 'm pulling you off your other project so you can assist billy full time . billy : that 's a great idea . could definitely use the help . juliet : it 's -- it 's a terrific opportunity . victoria : is there a problem ? juliet : it 's gon na leave cane a little shorthanded in the marketing area . billy : well , it 's a good thing you work for the company and not cane , then . juliet : i do n't want to upset him . victoria : i know that he helped you get this job . and i admire your loyalty , but you do n't have to worry about cane . i 'll handle him . phyllis : hey . scott : hey . phyllis : what dark corner of victor 's mind are you writing about ? scott : he 's actually reassigned me . phyllis : oh . that does n't sound good . scott : well , the book is dead , and in its place , i have an office at newman with a fancy new title to go along with it . phyllis : how bizarre . scott : yeah . tell me about it . phyllis : well , i do n't know . really ca n't see you joining the suit - and - tie brigade . scott : well , as long as i have a debt to repay ... no , please . phyllis : yeah . $ 10 million worth of listening to victor every day , all day ? i feel for you , my friend . scott : i 've had far more tough assignments than that . phyllis : [ chuckles ] you say that now ... scott : hey , but you and billy abbott . the last time we spoke , you had no love life . and then , the other night , i see you two all smiles on your date . what 's sad about it ? is that something new ? phyllis : well , we had a little second go - around . we have quite a history . scott : well , i like to see you happy , so ... i hope it works out this time . phyllis : thank you . hey . not that it 's any of my business , but ... would you mind a little free advice ? scott : yeah , the price is right . phyllis : um , i know that you think that you owe victor because he paid your ransom . scott : he saved my life . yeah . phyllis : but now you are the one he 's holding hostage . scott : that 's blunt . phyllis : he uses people . he manipulates them . do not forget who you are , and do not let him make your life into something you do n't want it to be . chelsea : chloe needed funds and a really good fake passport to be able to get out of the country . there 's no way she got all that on her own . nick : well , a fake passport means a new identity , and that 's gon na make it even harder to find her . chelsea : what is up with this defeatist attitude all of a sudden ? why are you being so negative ? nick : i 'm not . i just think we should let the professionals handle this . they 're better equipped to find her and bring her in . chelsea : when you wanted to prove that chloe killed adam , you were relentless . and now , what is going on with you ? nick : look , i 'm not happy about any of this , but my hands are tied . what do you want me to do ? chelsea : adam was your brother . do n't you want justice for him ? nick : you know i do , chelsea . chelsea : then why are you insisting to not go after chloe ? nick : i just told you , i -- chelsea : yeah , well , it was n't a good enough reason . it feels like you 're hiding something from me , nick . ashley : you hired scott grainger , who has far less experience than abby , to work with her as her equal . victor : she 'll be mentoring him . ashley : that 's not what it sounds like to me . victor : then you do n't know the whole story . ashley : victor , look , you told abby that you trust her , right ? and then , out of nowhere , you 're paying somebody to follow her around , somebody who has been trained to investigate people . do you not see how that could be very demeaning to her ? victor : for your information , scott grainger has certain talents that no one else in the company has , okay ? i think abby is overreacting . ashley : this company is her entire life . she has worked so hard to prove herself . i just hope you 're not doing something to undermine her . victor : if our daughter wants to play on the top level of the corporate world , she needs to take what goes with it -- my guidance , my criticism . she does n't need her mother to protect her . you know that . ashley : this is our daughter . victor : okay . do me a favor . kindly get ahold of scott grainger , okay ? i want him to come back to my office . yep . [ knock on door ] victor : come in . scott : i got your message . you needed to , uh ... ashley : hi , scott . it 's been a long time . i think since your mother 's wedding . scott : ah , yeah . good to see you again . victor : scott . ashley seems to have some reservations about my decision to hire you ... and what ramifications that it might have for our daughter . so would you kindly explain your new position to her and what that will mean so we allay her fears ? nick : look , chelsea , i hate that this situation with chloe is coming between us . i do n't want to upset you . chelsea : but you 're more than willing to just pawn it off to the authorities , let chloe get away with murder . nick : that is not what i 'm doing . chelsea : you are not doing anything . well , i 'm sorry . i ca n't live with myself if i do n't , so ... i think you should leave . nick : chelsea , please ... chelsea : please , nick , go . jack : just the woman i have been looking for . phyllis : is that a good thing or a bad thing ? jack : it 's a work thing . uh , this is a recent report from my old b - school -- an analysis of the economic impact of e - commerce on brick - and - mortar retail chains from 1990 to present . the findings are pretty provocative , i must say . phyllis : mm . sounds titillating . jack : i would like you to apply those findings to fenmore 's stores . make up your own mini analysis . phyllis : okay . jack , i , uh ... am not an economist . i do n't have an mba , and -- jack : if i wanted an economist 's opinion , i would 've asked for one . i 'm asking you . phyllis : why ? jack : because you are in the internet trenches . you know what 's passé , you know what is cutting edge . i am asking , as part owner of fenmore 's , that you gaze into your cyber crystal ball and tell me to what extent technology is going to get in the way of retail . phyllis : that sounds challenging . jack : it is , if you do it right . and i want it done by june 1st . phyllis : that 's in three weeks . jack : yeah , it might require some overtime . in fact , it will require overtime . it 's a lot of research and a lot of writing . phyllis : jack , is this a punishment because of billy and i getting back together again . jack : this is recognition on my part that you are the right person for this particular project . phyllis : i see . jack : i think i made it very clear that your personal life is of no interest to me . i 'm a little insulted you would think otherwise . phyllis : jack ... jack : or maybe you 're feeling a little prickly because , as we speak , victoria is putting the screws to billy downstairs at brash & sassy , just as i predicted . phyllis : actually , she 's not letting what happened affect their work dynamic at all -- or billy 's relationship with the kids . jack : really ? phyllis : yeah . jack : i find that admirable . on the surface . phyllis : meaning ? jack : victoria 's a newman . they do n't like to lose . but if your relationship is as solid as you think it is , that should n't be an issue . victoria : i assume you can delegate as needed until the commercial 's put to bed . cane : as long as juliet 's fine with it , sure . victoria : she 's excited about the opportunity . cane : okay . well , whatever it takes to get the job done . billy : you 're a good man , cane . cane : yeah . billy : he 's being a real mensch about this , is n't he ? victoria : in front of me , would you just refrain from rubbing his face in it ? billy : moi ? okay . i 'll play nice -- as a way to thank you for signing off on my idea . victoria : very expensive idea . billy : well , the best ones usually are . listen , i appreciate the fact that we can still work together like this , the fact that you can keep an open mind , considering the position i put you in . victoria : yeah , well , i told you , i did n't want things to change here . billy : well , that means a lot to me . not everybody would be able to follow through . victoria : i have a meeting with the lawyers across town , the one that i had to reschedule , so ... i 'm gon na do that . you can get to work and call the agency . billy : roger that . victoria : it 's gon na be nice going to california , getting out of town for a bit , do n't you think ? billy : i do . i think everything will go perfectly . victoria : yeah . billy : bye . victoria : bye . hi . i assume you 're here to see billy . phyllis : yes . before i go in , do you have a second ? victoria : not really . phyllis : this wo n't take long . lily : i am so excited about this commercial . i probably did n't any more caffeine . jordan : yeah , i could n't get a read on cane . you sure he 's down with you doing this ? i mean , kind of did n't sound like it , from the little bit i heard of y ' all conversation . lily : yeah , he 'll be supportive when the time comes . just whenever billy 's involved ... jordan : yeah . i kind of got that . lily : whatever . i 'm not gon na let their stuff get in the way of my awesome assignment . jordan : yeah . lily : one thing i 'm nervous about is messing up . i 've never acted before , so i 'm pretty nervous . jordan : this is a commercial , not `` hamlet . `` lily : yeah , easy for you to say . you 're behind the camera . jordan : all right . well , if you get nervous , just look at me , like you do when you 're feeling off on a regular shoot . lily : that 's true . you do have a way of keeping me steady . jordan : yeah , and this wo n't be any different , all right ? i 'm gon na be right there with you the whole way . billy : can you ask her to give me a call as soon as possible ? i 'd like to go over casting . great . thank you . cane : where 's victoria ? billy : she 's not here . looks like you 're on your own . cane : oh , hang on a sec . was that , like , one of those cracks to make me feel , you know , bad that you poached juliet from me ? billy : oh , no , that was victoria 's idea . cane : oh . billy : and it was a good one , actually , so before you start getting all antsy , why do n't you just be happy that the company 's raising its profile ? or was that comment about backing the boss 100 % a load of crap ? cane : no , no , no . you want to know what it was ? see , that was me just biding my time until the inevitable happens , and that 's when you screw up , and i have to step in and save the day . you know what ? and then we 're gon na see what it feels like to be left on the outside , billy . phyllis : i should 've let you and billy hash things out instead of me jumping in and preaching at you . it was n't productive or kind or even classy . i should 've just kept my mouth shut . end of apology . victoria : yeah . thanks . well , it was n't really my finest hour , and i think all of us let our emotions get the best of us . phyllis : thank you for being cool about it . victoria : that 's fine . billy and i have worked through everything . in fact , we had a really great conversation this morning when he dropped by to see the kids . phyllis : oh , good . i 'm glad he stopped by the house . victoria : you know , we 're just determined to keep things normal for johnny and katherine . in fact , he wants to come by every evening and tuck them in at night . i hope that 's not gon na be a problem for you two . phyllis : no . no , no , no . his whole world revolves around them . of course not . victoria : you know , phyllis , you just really have an amazing attitude about this . i ca n't imagine that many women would be very happy about their boyfriend hanging out at their ex - wife 's place every night . phyllis : oh . [ laughs ] i do n't know . i mean , think about how much time the two of you have spent together , and billy and i still wound up together . i mean , it 's crazy . [ chuckles ] victoria : yeah , it 's crazy . yeah , he went back to you , so i guess i just have to accept that , do n't i ? phyllis : you 're making a real effort . i see that . you know , actually , he texted me today , said he got some good news at work . sounded like he was really ready to celebrate with me . victoria : yeah , i approved his idea for a commercial . so we 'll be traveling to l.a . together for a shoot . should be a trip to remember . scott : this is all new territory for me . i have a lot to learn about business . ashley : well , you 're lucky that you 've got abby to show you the ropes . you 're in very good hands . i think you 'd make a great addition to the team . scott : i appreciate that . victor : well , then ... now that you 're satisfied our daughter is not being slighted , you 'll have to excuse me . i have an appointment to go to . so you can show yourselves out . ashley : thank you . scott : if it helps , i was just as thrown by victor 's offer as you and abby were . ashley : just so you know , you seem like a really good person . i have nothing but respect for you as a journalist . and i 'm sure you 're gon na try to hold on to your hard - won integrity . scott : thank you . i fully intend to . ashley : good . just make sure you do n't do anything to make my daughter look bad , because then you 're gon na have to answer to me . and if you think victor 's tough ... abby : hi , dad . victor : hi , sweetheart . i just left your mother in the office with scott . abby : mom 's here ? why ? victor : to protect you . she thought that i might have had ulterior motive when i hired scott . abby : did n't you ? victor : did you ever give me reason to doubt your loyalty to me or to the company ? abby : no . victor : good . in that case , you have nothing to worry about . chelsea : our new last name . it 's short for `` erasmus . `` it means `` beloved . `` when i was tending bar overseas , there was this hipster expat . his name was erasmus , and he made sure to let me know that it means `` beloved . `` i guess he thought i 'd be impressed . it 's interesting that that 's the name victor chose for us . i mean , it must mean that he wants us to know why he did this for us . [ next_on ] abby : i 'm sure he 's drooling at the thought of finding proof that i 'm not this loyal daughter . ashley : well , only if there 's proof to be found . jack : are you keeping him at brash & sassy for business or personal reasons ? phyllis : do you know where he went ? juliet : victoria 's house . | abby tells jack that she thinks victor hired scott at the company so that he would spy on her . jack advises her to be very careful and keep her eyes open so victor does n't have any reason to doubt her . ashley tells victor that she hopes he did n't hire scott to undermine abby . billy gets approval from victoria to shoot a national commercial with lily and some pro hockey players highlighting the fact that brash and sassy is the official men 's line of the pro hockey league . cane is upset that victoria considers billy 's ideas more important than his concerns about the expense of the commercial . lily is also hurt that cane is n't happy that she has such a great opportunity for her career . phyllis apologizes to victoria for the way she talked to her when she found out that she and billy were back together . victoria tells phyllis that she has to accept their relationship , and she hopes that she will be fine with the fact that billy wants to tuck the kids in every night . victoria also tells phyllis that she and billy will be going to los angeles to supervise the shoot of a national commercial . jordan tells chelsea that his contacts were unable to help him figure out who gave chloe her fake passport . chelsea is determined to find chloe no matter what it takes , even though nick wants her to let the police handle it . chelsea finds the fake passport that she was going to use to leave the country with adam and wonders if victor helped chloe with her fake passport . | <s>[INST] [ doorbell rings ] victoria : oh , hey . billy : hey . victoria : come on in . billy : morning . sorry . maybe i should 've called first . victoria : no , it 's fine . what 's up ? what 's going on ? billy : how 's katie , after our phone conversation last night ? victoria : well , your little talk did the trick , because she slept like a log . billy : good . do you mind if i pop up and say hi before they take off to school ? victoria : hannah actually picked them up early because they have a special assembly this morning . billy : oh , right . right . victoria : yeah . billy : well , now that i 'm here , there is something else on my mind . maybe we could has that out now ? phyllis : hey . how 's it going ? nick : well , i do n't know . i guess you 're the one with the news , right ? phyllis : i assume victoria told you about billy and me . nick : it 's quite a shock . especially the way she found out . phyllis : yeah . we were n't too thrilled about it , either . phyllis : are you ... like , blaming us for how upset she is ? ashley : are you kidding me ? jack : it is what it is . ashley : i thought billy and victoria were actually -- jack : yeah , you , me , and everyone else in town . ashley : did you have any idea that it was billy and phyllis ? jack : that they were together ? no . i did n't . at least they had the class this time to come up here and tell me to my face . ashley : oh , yeah , right . first - class all the way . when did you find out about this ? jack : couple of day ago . ashley : a couple days ago . and you 're just telling me now ? jack : we had more important things to talk about . ashley : come on , jack , this is me . after everything that 's -- jack : phyllis and i are done . a long time ago . whatever she and billy want to do , they can do it . i encouraged her to move on , remember ? ashley : i know . but that 's a long way away from finding out that your ex - wife is back in your brother 's bed . how are you really feeling about this , jack ? [ door opens ] jordan : back in the day , i worked with three counterfeiters who specialized in passports . one 's dead , but i reached out to the other two . chelsea : and ? did either one of them sell chloe a fake ? jordan : i promised you i 'd ask , and i did . but you 're not gon na like what i found out . victor : and now to the last item on the agenda . i 've been interested for a while in acquiring a digital - media company . i think we need one to be part of the newman portfolio . scott : i 'm surprised there is n't one already . victor : it 's an oversight . needs to be rectified . both of you , together . abby : wonderful . victor : your expertise in journalism , scott , will allow you to look at some good prospects . and you , my darling , with your financial expertise , will look at the financial health of whatever company we target . abby : since i 'm mentoring scott , i should be the one to make decisions , agreed ? victor : yes , but i want you to make use of his real - life experience . abby : yes , yes . it 'll be very interesting to see what scott brings to the table . scott : likewise . abby : hmm . so , uh , i 'd like a list of 10 different companies newman should be interested in , with supporting research data . i 'll take it from there . i have somewhere to be . is this meeting adjourned ? victor : that does it , my darling . abby : great . cane : okay , uh ... move victoria 's quote to the second paragraph , and the press release will be done . juliet : okay . well , let 's hope there are n't any more changes , like her taking billy 's suggestions back out . cane : yeah , well , that 's vindictive , and she 's too professional for that . juliet : the other night , over drinks , she mentioned she wanted a future with billy . now that she 's lost him to this phyllis woman ... cane : well , she 's not gon na cut us out . juliet : glad to hear it . cane : she keeps giving billy chances , and he keeps letting her down . the other night , i told her i was in her corner , and she said she would rely on me more . juliet : hmm . well , play things right , who knows ? maybe she 'll make you second in command . victoria : there 's really nothing to debate . i mean , i said you can see the kids whenever you want . billy : yeah , as long as it 's just me and not phyllis . no , i get that . i just ... i want to make sure it 's not weird for you , seeing me that much outside the office . i thought maybe an official schedule might -- victoria : uh , `` official `` ? billy : well , i would like to see johnny and katie as much as i 've been seeing them lately . and when they 're here , it would be great if i could come say good night to them on nights that you were okay with . victoria : yeah . i 'd like that , too . billy : yeah ? victoria : yeah . i mean , you know ... we want to do what 's best for the kids . in fact , if you want to stop by every night to say good night to them , it 's fine with me . although i ... [ sighs ] billy : no , please . i want to be as open and honest as possible . victoria : i just doubt that phyllis will love you being unavailable for a chunk of every evening . billy : vic , they 're my kids . she 'll understand . and she did raise a child after her divorce , so i think she gets the drill . victoria : okay , great . so , then we 're on the same page . billy : this went a lot easier than i expected . but we 're in a good place . hopefully , we can keep that . victoria : mm - hmm . why should n't we ? nick : got to ask -- i mean , are you sure this is what you and billy want ? phyllis : nick , it 's not a rebound . nick : okay . i believe you . phyllis : billy and i are the real deal . and we are just very glad that it 's finally out in the open . and we know that some people are gon na have a hard time accepting it , but ... like you said , that 's the way things shook out . we 're really not trying to hurt anyone . nick : well , vic was hurt , you know , the way things went down . she really thought she and billy were building something together . she never meant to push billy away . phyllis : i know , but she did , over and over . nick : well , there are reasons for that -- good ones . phyllis : well , you can only ride that roller coaster for so long before you need to walk away . jack : well , you seem more worked up about this epic love affair than i am . am i thrilled they 're together ? no . am i taking it out on phyllis ? no . i got past that . as for billy , i have said all along , i do n't care what he does . they want to be together , fine . actually , it is n't that big a surprise . it kind of feels like we 've come full circle . ashley : i just do n't understand how you could be so nonchalant about the whole thing . jack : phyllis and i never stood a chance . we had one perfect moment in our marriage -- the wedding . after that , we were doomed by what victor did to us . there was a chasm there we could never overcome . and billy , ever the opportunist , took full advantage of it . so now he thinks they 're gon na live happily ever after . good luck to that . ashley : well , you could act like you do n't care all you want , but i still know , deep down inside , you would 've preferred if billy stayed far away from phyllis . stupid question , jacky . now that everything is out in the open , what are the chances that you and billy can find a way back to each other as brothers ? jack : between slim and none . victoria : great job on these revisions . let 's get this out there right away . cane : all right , consider it done . billy : yeah , i 'd like to echo what victoria said -- excellent job implementing the ideas . really good . juliet : thank you . cane : all right . if that 's everything ... billy : actually , uh , while everybody 's here , there 's an idea i 'd like to pitch , if that 's all right . victoria : yeah , by all means . billy : well , lily 's professional tour that she 's on right now promoting our pro hockey tie - in has been going extremely well . sales are on the rise , and i think it 's time that we capitalize on it . victoria : how ? billy : national tv ads . we promote dare as the official men 's grooming line of pro hockey . we can get a couple of the players to appear with lily . i 've already been in contact with callie weston -- juliet : the movie director ? billy : she 's a huge hockey fan . we shoot in l.a. , she 's on board . and if we move on this now , we can get it done by the time the finals roll around . so , what do you say ? cane : uh , i say it 's a good idea , but it sounds expensive . i mean , can you quantify the return on investment , or is this money just going out the door ? billy : our partnership with hockey has enormous potential to really expand our brand , not only to our demographic but for men 35 and over . callie said she 'll work for scale . she 's that excited about it . so , what do you say ? can i run with this ? victoria : i love it . i love it . let 's get it out there this season . i do n't want to wait till the next winter . billy : fantastic . yeah , i 'll move on it right now , fast - track it . victoria : okay . would you grab lily and jordan ? i want to share the good news with them . it 's a really good idea . chelsea : you have nothing ? how can that be ? jordan : both of my guys are out of the passport game now . with all the new material that the feds are using , they ca n't keep up . they do n't have the skill set anymore . chelsea : i do n't believe this . jordan : creating a forgery nowadays is just damn near impossible . whoever hooked up your friend has to have major underground connections and some serious cash . chelsea : chloe does n't know anybody who would be willing to put themselves on the line like that . at least not that i know of . i mean , god knows she was a master at keeping secrets . [ raps desk ] jordan : sorry i could n't help . chelsea : do n't apologize . you tried . [ sighs ] i guess it 's just ... another dead end . jordan : what happened to the chelsea i used to know ? she would n't let anyone or anything get in her way . nothing would 've stopped her . chelsea : yeah , i guess -- i guess you 're right . you 're absolutely right . i ca n't stop . i ca n't stop it . i 'm not going to . there has to be another way that i can find chloe and whoever 's backing her . victor : scott , i 'm sure you 'll feel more comfortable in your new position once you 've settled in . scott : and by `` position , `` you mean spying on abby . victor : i just want you to monitor her ... activities , all right ? that 's all . any questions ? scott : what kind of intelligence are you looking for ? victor : i want to know who she associates with ... what tasks she takes on herself , what she delegates to others . scott : anything else ? victor : if there are areas in which she is less than transparent , i want to know about it . scott : look , i -- i get that you do n't trust abby , but ... why ? i mean , she 's devoted to you . victor : i 've been in the business for a long time , okay ? ambition does strange things to people , especially when they 're after quick success . abby : how soon until my mom 's out of her meeting ? jack : uh , hard to tell . can i help ? abby : i have news . jack : good or bad ? abby : well ... dad cancelled his biography . jack : wow . that 's interesting . i guess having a competent , principled , investigative reporter like scott grainger around was playing with fire . it 's too bad . abby : only scott 's not going anywhere . jack : what do you mean ? abby : my dad hired him . yeah , apparently , someone with zero experience in the corporate world is a perfect fit for a senior v.p . position at newman . jack : whoa . i 'm not following . abby : no , my dad gave him some bogus title -- special projects -- and now he expects us to work together . jack : and what is victor 's rationale ? abby : i do n't know . he says it 'll give me experience developing new talent . translation -- jack : he thinks you need a babysitter . abby : but do you want to know what this is really about ? this is about my dad 's attitude towards women . yeah . he does n't think that us delicate flowers are capable of running a multinational . yeah , look how he was with victoria when adam came back . and now he 's pushing me aside . nick does n't want the position , so he has a new surrogate son , who , once he 's trained , i will be out in the cold , and he will have a new flavor of the month . jack : okay . i understand that you 're upset . but there is no way victor is going to let anyone without the name `` newman `` in the top spot . scott could be brilliant at what he does . he 's got the wrong last name . victor cares more about that than anything else . abby : what if you 're wrong , uncle jack ? jack : you just be careful . keep your eye on both of them . they 're both bloodhounds -- one by trade , the other by disposition . if they sense anything wrong -- if they sense you 've done anything wrong -- you 're gon na have to play this very carefully . ashley : play what carefully ? abby : fait accompli . dad just sprang it on me . it 's so insulting . ashley : i can understand why you would be angry and maybe why you 'd feel a little insecure . but if there is a glass ceiling , the one way to not break through it is to listen whatever bad , shady advice your uncle 's giving . jack : hey , hey , hey . you are way off base . i gave her the same advice you would -- to watch her back and look out for herself . abby : now that we know that dad does n't trust me as much as he says he does . ashley : is there a reason for that ? is there something going on at newman ? because if you want to talk about it , we can leave here and go someplace private . abby : mom , you know what ? um , dad and i are fine . we 've been fine up until now , okay ? thank you . ashley : okay . if that 's true , then i would tell you to just focus on your work and do the best job you can , and whatever doubts your father may have will just take care of themselves . scott : thanks for your time . victor : all right , scott . oh , by the way , before you go ... a little word about your attire . scott : again ? what 's wrong with this ? victor : what 's wrong with it is that you tell the world that you do n't give a damn . which is okay when you do journalistic work , but when you work in the corporate world , you wear a suit . have you got one ? scott : one . for weddings and funerals . victor : wear it . victoria : so , this is billy 's idea . what do you think ? lily : it 's amazing . i think it 's great for the men 's line . billy : i think it 's gon na be great for you , your first national spot . it 's exciting . jordan : this is gon na take your career to the next level . you are gon na be a shooting star , lily . [ both laugh ] victoria : i need you to arrange your schedule so you can be there for the shoot . i want you to grab some stills . jordan : sure . i definitely can make that happen . victoria : okay . wonderful . juliet : what if we went beyond that ? did a behind - the - scenes , making - of video , something to show exclusively on our website ? billy : it could be a great way to drive traffic . victoria : yeah , let 's do it . cane : i just do n't want to be a broken record here , but i 'm just concerned about the cost of all this . victoria : okay , look -- i 'm not ignoring your concerns . we 'll just tell the director at the ad agency that they ca n't blow through our budget for the year . sometimes you have to take some risks in order to get the payoff . am i right ? billy : yeah , cane , come on . go big or go home , right ? victoria : i think that we should all get behind this . i want us working together as a team , both here and in los angeles . cane : absolutely . i am behind you 100 % . chelsea : oh , you 're so sweet , but i do n't think doughnuts are the answer . nick : all right , well , they 're here if you change your mind . look , uh ... you know , i know you 're upset . those letters that chloe sent billy and kevin ... chelsea : yeah , i mean , i just do n't get it . two letters postmarked in two different countries . so now not only can we not tell where she is , but we ca n't even tell she is actually the person that sent the letters . it just -- it just makes me crazy , 'cause now i ca n't stop thinking about where she is . i 'm thinking about what she 's doing ... nick : look , there are some questions we may never get an answer to . chelsea : well , i ca n't accept that . nick : you 're obsessing , all right ? it 's not good for you . chelsea : look , i know you wish i would just drop this , but i ca n't sit back and do nothing while the woman who killed my husband and her accomplice are just roaming the streets . nick : accomplice ? chelsea : someone had to help her get away . i need to find them -- both of them . i need to track them down , nick . and i want you to help me . lily : i 'm so excited . l.a. is so much fun . what do you think about wrapping a few vacation days around the shoot ? you know , we can go up the coast to santa barbara . we can visit some wineries . cane : sounds like a great getaway , does n't it ? lily : is that a yes ? cane : all right , look , it 's not that i do n't want to go , okay ? it 's just ... lily : no , i get it . it 's billy . you 're upset this got greenlighted after you objected . cane : all right , he humiliated her , okay ? and she still would n't say no to him . lily : victoria is a big girl . their relationship is their business . cane : okay . why do n't you understand this ? lily : hey , you are creating a competition where none exists . victoria has approved plenty of your ideas . she 's judging them purely based on merit . cane : no , that 's not why she 's doing this . she wants him back . and she 's prepared to put the company out on a limb financially to do it . we can barely afford to hire juliet . lily : you know what ? all of this talk about budgets and billy and victoria ... has it even occurred to you this commercial 's a great opportunity for me ? why ca n't you be happy for me the way i was for you when you closed the asian deal ? cane : i 'm sorry . okay . i 'm sorry . i 'm happy for you , i am . come here . i 'm sorry . i 'm sorry . jordan : sorry to interrupt . i 'm just on my way out . cane : [ sighs ] lily : look , you know what ? you 're busy . you have a lot of work to do , so i 'm gon na take off , too , okay ? cane : all right . cane : oh , man . victoria : because of the tight timeframe , i 'm pulling you off your other project so you can assist billy full time . billy : that 's a great idea . could definitely use the help . juliet : it 's -- it 's a terrific opportunity . victoria : is there a problem ? juliet : it 's gon na leave cane a little shorthanded in the marketing area . billy : well , it 's a good thing you work for the company and not cane , then . juliet : i do n't want to upset him . victoria : i know that he helped you get this job . and i admire your loyalty , but you do n't have to worry about cane . i 'll handle him . phyllis : hey . scott : hey . phyllis : what dark corner of victor 's mind are you writing about ? scott : he 's actually reassigned me . phyllis : oh . that does n't sound good . scott : well , the book is dead , and in its place , i have an office at newman with a fancy new title to go along with it . phyllis : how bizarre . scott : yeah . tell me about it . phyllis : well , i do n't know . really ca n't see you joining the suit - and - tie brigade . scott : well , as long as i have a debt to repay ... no , please . phyllis : yeah . $ 10 million worth of listening to victor every day , all day ? i feel for you , my friend . scott : i 've had far more tough assignments than that . phyllis : [ chuckles ] you say that now ... scott : hey , but you and billy abbott . the last time we spoke , you had no love life . and then , the other night , i see you two all smiles on your date . what 's sad about it ? is that something new ? phyllis : well , we had a little second go - around . we have quite a history . scott : well , i like to see you happy , so ... i hope it works out this time . phyllis : thank you . hey . not that it 's any of my business , but ... would you mind a little free advice ? scott : yeah , the price is right . phyllis : um , i know that you think that you owe victor because he paid your ransom . scott : he saved my life . yeah . phyllis : but now you are the one he 's holding hostage . scott : that 's blunt . phyllis : he uses people . he manipulates them . do not forget who you are , and do not let him make your life into something you do n't want it to be . chelsea : chloe needed funds and a really good fake passport to be able to get out of the country . there 's no way she got all that on her own . nick : well , a fake passport means a new identity , and that 's gon na make it even harder to find her . chelsea : what is up with this defeatist attitude all of a sudden ? why are you being so negative ? nick : i 'm not . i just think we should let the professionals handle this . they 're better equipped to find her and bring her in . chelsea : when you wanted to prove that chloe killed adam , you were relentless . and now , what is going on with you ? nick : look , i 'm not happy about any of this , but my hands are tied . what do you want me to do ? chelsea : adam was your brother . do n't you want justice for him ? nick : you know i do , chelsea . chelsea : then why are you insisting to not go after chloe ? nick : i just told you , i -- chelsea : yeah , well , it was n't a good enough reason . it feels like you 're hiding something from me , nick . ashley : you hired scott grainger , who has far less experience than abby , to work with her as her equal . victor : she 'll be mentoring him . ashley : that 's not what it sounds like to me . victor : then you do n't know the whole story . ashley : victor , look , you told abby that you trust her , right ? and then , out of nowhere , you 're paying somebody to follow her around , somebody who has been trained to investigate people . do you not see how that could be very demeaning to her ? victor : for your information , scott grainger has certain talents that no one else in the company has , okay ? i think abby is overreacting . ashley : this company is her entire life . she has worked so hard to prove herself . i just hope you 're not doing something to undermine her . victor : if our daughter wants to play on the top level of the corporate world , she needs to take what goes with it -- my guidance , my criticism . she does n't need her mother to protect her . you know that . ashley : this is our daughter . victor : okay . do me a favor . kindly get ahold of scott grainger , okay ? i want him to come back to my office . yep . [ knock on door ] victor : come in . scott : i got your message . you needed to , uh ... ashley : hi , scott . it 's been a long time . i think since your mother 's wedding . scott : ah , yeah . good to see you again . victor : scott . ashley seems to have some reservations about my decision to hire you ... and what ramifications that it might have for our daughter . so would you kindly explain your new position to her and what that will mean so we allay her fears ? nick : look , chelsea , i hate that this situation with chloe is coming between us . i do n't want to upset you . chelsea : but you 're more than willing to just pawn it off to the authorities , let chloe get away with murder . nick : that is not what i 'm doing . chelsea : you are not doing anything . well , i 'm sorry . i ca n't live with myself if i do n't , so ... i think you should leave . nick : chelsea , please ... chelsea : please , nick , go . jack : just the woman i have been looking for . phyllis : is that a good thing or a bad thing ? jack : it 's a work thing . uh , this is a recent report from my old b - school -- an analysis of the economic impact of e - commerce on brick - and - mortar retail chains from 1990 to present . the findings are pretty provocative , i must say . phyllis : mm . sounds titillating . jack : i would like you to apply those findings to fenmore 's stores . make up your own mini analysis . phyllis : okay . jack , i , uh ... am not an economist . i do n't have an mba , and -- jack : if i wanted an economist 's opinion , i would 've asked for one . i 'm asking you . phyllis : why ? jack : because you are in the internet trenches . you know what 's passé , you know what is cutting edge . i am asking , as part owner of fenmore 's , that you gaze into your cyber crystal ball and tell me to what extent technology is going to get in the way of retail . phyllis : that sounds challenging . jack : it is , if you do it right . and i want it done by june 1st . phyllis : that 's in three weeks . jack : yeah , it might require some overtime . in fact , it will require overtime . it 's a lot of research and a lot of writing . phyllis : jack , is this a punishment because of billy and i getting back together again . jack : this is recognition on my part that you are the right person for this particular project . phyllis : i see . jack : i think i made it very clear that your personal life is of no interest to me . i 'm a little insulted you would think otherwise . phyllis : jack ... jack : or maybe you 're feeling a little prickly because , as we speak , victoria is putting the screws to billy downstairs at brash & sassy , just as i predicted . phyllis : actually , she 's not letting what happened affect their work dynamic at all -- or billy 's relationship with the kids . jack : really ? phyllis : yeah . jack : i find that admirable . on the surface . phyllis : meaning ? jack : victoria 's a newman . they do n't like to lose . but if your relationship is as solid as you think it is , that should n't be an issue . victoria : i assume you can delegate as needed until the commercial 's put to bed . cane : as long as juliet 's fine with it , sure . victoria : she 's excited about the opportunity . cane : okay . well , whatever it takes to get the job done . billy : you 're a good man , cane . cane : yeah . billy : he 's being a real mensch about this , is n't he ? victoria : in front of me , would you just refrain from rubbing his face in it ? billy : moi ? okay . i 'll play nice -- as a way to thank you for signing off on my idea . victoria : very expensive idea . billy : well , the best ones usually are . listen , i appreciate the fact that we can still work together like this , the fact that you can keep an open mind , considering the position i put you in . victoria : yeah , well , i told you , i did n't want things to change here . billy : well , that means a lot to me . not everybody would be able to follow through . victoria : i have a meeting with the lawyers across town , the one that i had to reschedule , so ... i 'm gon na do that . you can get to work and call the agency . billy : roger that . victoria : it 's gon na be nice going to california , getting out of town for a bit , do n't you think ? billy : i do . i think everything will go perfectly . victoria : yeah . billy : bye . victoria : bye . hi . i assume you 're here to see billy . phyllis : yes . before i go in , do you have a second ? victoria : not really . phyllis : this wo n't take long . lily : i am so excited about this commercial . i probably did n't any more caffeine . jordan : yeah , i could n't get a read on cane . you sure he 's down with you doing this ? i mean , kind of did n't sound like it , from the little bit i heard of y ' all conversation . lily : yeah , he 'll be supportive when the time comes . just whenever billy 's involved ... jordan : yeah . i kind of got that . lily : whatever . i 'm not gon na let their stuff get in the way of my awesome assignment . jordan : yeah . lily : one thing i 'm nervous about is messing up . i 've never acted before , so i 'm pretty nervous . jordan : this is a commercial , not `` hamlet . `` lily : yeah , easy for you to say . you 're behind the camera . jordan : all right . well , if you get nervous , just look at me , like you do when you 're feeling off on a regular shoot . lily : that 's true . you do have a way of keeping me steady . jordan : yeah , and this wo n't be any different , all right ? i 'm gon na be right there with you the whole way . billy : can you ask her to give me a call as soon as possible ? i 'd like to go over casting . great . thank you . cane : where 's victoria ? billy : she 's not here . looks like you 're on your own . cane : oh , hang on a sec . was that , like , one of those cracks to make me feel , you know , bad that you poached juliet from me ? billy : oh , no , that was victoria 's idea . cane : oh . billy : and it was a good one , actually , so before you start getting all antsy , why do n't you just be happy that the company 's raising its profile ? or was that comment about backing the boss 100 % a load of crap ? cane : no , no , no . you want to know what it was ? see , that was me just biding my time until the inevitable happens , and that 's when you screw up , and i have to step in and save the day . you know what ? and then we 're gon na see what it feels like to be left on the outside , billy . phyllis : i should 've let you and billy hash things out instead of me jumping in and preaching at you . it was n't productive or kind or even classy . i should 've just kept my mouth shut . end of apology . victoria : yeah . thanks . well , it was n't really my finest hour , and i think all of us let our emotions get the best of us . phyllis : thank you for being cool about it . victoria : that 's fine . billy and i have worked through everything . in fact , we had a really great conversation this morning when he dropped by to see the kids . phyllis : oh , good . i 'm glad he stopped by the house . victoria : you know , we 're just determined to keep things normal for johnny and katherine . in fact , he wants to come by every evening and tuck them in at night . i hope that 's not gon na be a problem for you two . phyllis : no . no , no , no . his whole world revolves around them . of course not . victoria : you know , phyllis , you just really have an amazing attitude about this . i ca n't imagine that many women would be very happy about their boyfriend hanging out at their ex - wife 's place every night . phyllis : oh . [ laughs ] i do n't know . i mean , think about how much time the two of you have spent together , and billy and i still wound up together . i mean , it 's crazy . [ chuckles ] victoria : yeah , it 's crazy . yeah , he went back to you , so i guess i just have to accept that , do n't i ? phyllis : you 're making a real effort . i see that . you know , actually , he texted me today , said he got some good news at work . sounded like he was really ready to celebrate with me . victoria : yeah , i approved his idea for a commercial . so we 'll be traveling to l.a . together for a shoot . should be a trip to remember . scott : this is all new territory for me . i have a lot to learn about business . ashley : well , you 're lucky that you 've got abby to show you the ropes . you 're in very good hands . i think you 'd make a great addition to the team . scott : i appreciate that . victor : well , then ... now that you 're satisfied our daughter is not being slighted , you 'll have to excuse me . i have an appointment to go to . so you can show yourselves out . ashley : thank you . scott : if it helps , i was just as thrown by victor 's offer as you and abby were . ashley : just so you know , you seem like a really good person . i have nothing but respect for you as a journalist . and i 'm sure you 're gon na try to hold on to your hard - won integrity . scott : thank you . i fully intend to . ashley : good . just make sure you do n't do anything to make my daughter look bad , because then you 're gon na have to answer to me . and if you think victor 's tough ... abby : hi , dad . victor : hi , sweetheart . i just left your mother in the office with scott . abby : mom 's here ? why ? victor : to protect you . she thought that i might have had ulterior motive when i hired scott . abby : did n't you ? victor : did you ever give me reason to doubt your loyalty to me or to the company ? abby : no . victor : good . in that case , you have nothing to worry about . chelsea : our new last name . it 's short for `` erasmus . `` it means `` beloved . `` when i was tending bar overseas , there was this hipster expat . his name was erasmus , and he made sure to let me know that it means `` beloved . `` i guess he thought i 'd be impressed . it 's interesting that that 's the name victor chose for us . i mean , it must mean that he wants us to know why he did this for us . [ next_on ] abby : i 'm sure he 's drooling at the thought of finding proof that i 'm not this loyal daughter . ashley : well , only if there 's proof to be found . jack : are you keeping him at brash & sassy for business or personal reasons ? phyllis : do you know where he went ? juliet : victoria 's house .Summarize.[/INST]abby tells jack that she thinks victor hired scott at the company so that he would spy on her . jack advises her to be very careful and keep her eyes open so victor does n't have any reason to doubt her . ashley tells victor that she hopes he did n't hire scott to undermine abby . billy gets approval from victoria to shoot a national commercial with lily and some pro hockey players highlighting the fact that brash and sassy is the official men 's line of the pro hockey league . cane is upset that victoria considers billy 's ideas more important than his concerns about the expense of the commercial . lily is also hurt that cane is n't happy that she has such a great opportunity for her career . phyllis apologizes to victoria for the way she talked to her when she found out that she and billy were back together . victoria tells phyllis that she has to accept their relationship , and she hopes that she will be fine with the fact that billy wants to tuck the kids in every night . victoria also tells phyllis that she and billy will be going to los angeles to supervise the shoot of a national commercial . jordan tells chelsea that his contacts were unable to help him figure out who gave chloe her fake passport . chelsea is determined to find chloe no matter what it takes , even though nick wants her to let the police handle it . chelsea finds the fake passport that she was going to use to leave the country with adam and wonders if victor helped chloe with her fake passport .</s> | 17,075 |

[ cellphone rings ] adam : why are n't you picking up , chelsea ? victor : hey there , my boy . nick : hey . victor : so ... how are things ? nick : good . you excited for your big night ? v oh , very excited . should be something . nick : where 's mom ? she is back , right ? victor : her plane just landed from london . victoria is picking her up , so she should be here plenty of time . if you do n't mind , my boy , i have some questions for you . nick : if you 're looking for details about your night , you 're gon na have to go to mom and vick . i 'm definitely third string on this team . victor : no , there 's something else i 'd like to ask you about . nick : sure . if i can help . sharon : how is sharon 's treatment progressing ? [ knocking on door ] sharon : it 's open ! rey : am i late ? sharon : no , you 're right on time . rey : okay . i got you traci abbott 's new novel that came out today for you to read for your chemo session . sharon : oh ! i love all her books . rey : i know . sharon : well , you 're a lifesaver . thank you . mwah ! rey : mm . i do n't know about that , but ... what you 're doing today sure is . how you feeling ? sharon : i 'm just trying not to think about it too much . rey : well , first time out of the gate , there was n't too many side effects . hopefully , it 'll be the same this time . sharon : a $ 99 i really appreciate how optimistic you are , but we both know every patient is different , and so is every infusion . so i just have to be ready for anything . rey : i will be by your side . sharon : and this will be a great distraction , though you may have to read it to me out loud depending on how things go . rey : oh , you can count on me for that . i think you 're getting pretty good at it , the way i do all the little voices and characters . sharon : you 're the best . rey : let 's do it . [ sneeze and sniffles ] additional sponsorship nick : sharon 's treatment ? victor : yeah . you know what i 'm talking about . nick : look , i do n't know what you heard . i 'm sure it 's the wrong idea . victor : well , i know that , um , sharon is undergoing treatment for breast cancer . nick : i guess i should n't be surprised that victor newman knows everything that 's going on in this town . look , uh , sharon does n't want anyone outside of this very small circle that she 's told to know about this . so please do n't talk about it , especially to mom . victor : i wo n't talk to anyone about it , all right ? but i 'm concerned you and about faith . does she know ? nick : faith knows . victor : how 's she coping ? nick : uh , it 's hard for her . you know , she 's at a vulnerable age . she 's not a little girl anymore . she 's certainly not an adult . so there 's days when she 's strong , and then there 's days when she falls apart . victor : mm - hmm . nick : i meant what i said . please do n't talk about this to other people . victor : son , you do n't have to worry about that , okay ? but i want you to promise me one thing . you come to me if you need help with anything . all right ? nikki : help with what ? victor : there you are . nikki : hi ! victor : my goodness . come here , my sweetheart . come here , my sweetheart . nikki : oh ! victor : oh , my baby . tonight 's events , of course . nikki : oh , well , no need to worry . victoria and i have everything under control . victoria : yeah . do n't worry , dad . we 're on top of it . victor : i have no doubt about that . so now i can rest easy . two of the most capable woman that i know are in charge of tonight 's events . what can possibly go wrong ? phyllis : hey , listen , chelsea , do n't feel bad that you do n't know what i 'm talking about . i know that adam loves you , and , you what what , even the closest of couples , they all have secrets from each other . chelsea : well , we don't . phyllis : okay . you used to be a better liar . chelsea : oh , my god , phyllis , just get to the point . what is it ? phyllis : oh , well , all right . i will . or adam can tell you . was that him who just called you ? we could call him and put him on speaker . chelsea : whatever this whole thing is , it 's not going to work . phyllis : okay . um , adam and chance talking about some very sensitive things together in vegas , and i happened to be listening in . chelsea : oh . of course . okay . more hacking and espionage . that sounds familiar . look , at least remitting it this time . phyllis : yeah . well , if you go to adam , he will confirm that everything i 'm saying is true . but i will give you the condensed version . um ... apparently a man went missing in vegas , and not just a man , a really mean , nasty guy , and his wife was told that he went into the witness protection program , and she believed that until she didn't . and then she was looking for some payoff , right ? so she did n't go to the police . and then adam apparently did pay her off so she would n't talk . and , apparently , it was , like , seven figures . wow . and we both know that adam is n't the charitable type . so you know where this story is going . you understand this kind of thing because you know about money and blackmail . but there 's even more to this story . i guess adam was trying to protect chance , which is just lovely . but it does n't make it any less of a crime , does it ? [ chuckles ] oh ! chelsea : what the hell do you want ? phyllis : oh , you want to get to the bottom of -- phyllis : what , phyllis ? what do you want ? phyllis : let 's cut to the chase . it 's real easy . i want your 25 % of the grand phoenix . chelsea : you want my shares ? phyllis : yeah , that 's what i want for keeping quiet , and , you know what , keep your voice down because people here might overhear , just like i overheard adam and chance . phyllis : you 're not getting my shares of anything , and i am so over your smug attitude . phyllis : no , i 'm not being smug , i 'm being fair , and i really do n't have to . chelsea : how is blackmailing me fair ? phyllis : well , i 'm offering to buy your shares at market value . i just want to be on equal footing with abby , that 's it . chelsea : okay . okay , i see . i see . so this is all about revenge ? phyllis : no , it 's about business , which is about power and leverage , and i have everything right now . really , you do n't have a lot to consider , but i will give you time as a courtesy to think about all of this . chelsea : this -- phyllis : it 's your only option . and honestly , chelsea , you should really think about your son . that poor boy , what he went through . [ sighs ] i ca n't imagine how he would feel . he must have horrible memories of this place . everything that went down with simon black and all that danger that you put us in . and when you decide to give up being a hotelier , you can go back to , i do n't know , fashion or grifting or whatever you do . chelsea : phyllis , if i 've learned one thing from grifting , it 's that you never only have one option . so if i were you , i would watch your back . phyllis : [ laughs ] i like your spunk . the clock is ticking . [ cellphone rings ] chelsea : adam . adam : hey . i tried calling you earlier . chelsea : i 'm on my way home . we have to talk . adam : well , i 'm not at home . i got a suite at the hotel . chelsea : you 're upstairs ? adam : room 407 . i got the friends and family discount . chelsea : okay . do n't move . i 'll be right up . [ cellphone rings ] & chance : hello ? phyllis : hey . got a minute ? abby : about the lawsuit you mentioned before ? no . i 'll handle it . phyllis : no . i have some ideas about sprucing up the place . abby : okay , phyllis , if i do n't have time to talk about the lawsuit , do you really think i have time to discuss interior design , especially with you ? no . and as the majority stakeholder , i like the hotel the way it is . phyllis : okay . you are the boss . adam : okay . looks like you 've had a rough day , but i 'm here to take your mind off it . chelsea : why did you get a room ? where 's connor ? adam : he 's with the nanny . i figured we could relax a little before the gala , and we could change clothes . we could come back here after we got our fill of everybody at the top of the tower . chelsea : i ca n't even think about that right now . adam : all right . well , tell me what happened . chelsea : phyllis . phyllis happened . adam : phyllis . of course . chelsea : remember when you said you would tell me what happened in las vegas when it was time for me to know ? well , that time is now . nikki : london was fabulous . i saw a play in the west end , i ate at some amazing restaurants , and i may spent a little too much time shopping . victor : whoa , whoa , whoa ... now , how much time do you spend ? nikki : oh , just to make sure that i will look stunning for your party . victoria : you must feel so jetlagged . nikki : i may be running on adrenaline , but tonight is gon na be a night to remember , and i can not wait . and why are you two still in your street clothes ? nick : 'cause we 're dudes . it takes , like , five minutes to get ready . victor : exactly . nikki : that is decidedly unfair . victor : oh , yeah . nikki : but seeing as victoria and i are part of the fairest of the land , you and i better start getting ready . victor : no , no , no , no . whoa , whoa , whoa , whoa . you 've been preparing this surprise for days now . ca n't you give us a hint ? victoria : no , dad , you 're going to have to wait . but i will tell you this . mom has gone all out . tonight is gon na be an event to end all events . victor : ooh ! baby , come here . nikki : mm . victor : really ? managing lipids like very high triglycerides , can be tough . chelsea : so it 's true . everything phyllis said . adam : well -- chelsea : wait , wait . hold on . hold on . before you say anything else , i need you to know i love you . adam : and i love you , too . and i wish that i could tell you that this was just phyllis messing with us , but ... chelsea : okay . adam : she -- she made it sound more sinister than it really was , okay ? i did n't tell you earlier because i was trying to protect you . chelsea : i understand your intention , adam , but you did n't need to protect me . i 've been around my fair share of shady characters , not to mention i 'm no saint myself . if you had just told me earlier , phyllis could n't have blindsided me the way she did . adam : well , i knew that she was hovering . i knew that she was trying to dig up dirt . i thought i 'd shut her down . chelsea : so she found another way to find the information she was looking for . adam : yeah , and now she 's using it to go after you . and , you know what , i am not going to stand for that . so i will be back . chelsea : wait . no , no ! don't . you do n't get to be mad . i get to be mad . it would have been really helpful to know this information before tonight , and i really want to be angry at you . it would help me get out some pent up frustration , but i 'm not going to do that . for several reasons . one being the fact that you did n't do that to me . when simon black came to town , you supported me through all of that and you never lost trust in me , so ... i am not going to lose trust in you . adam : i do n't know what to say . chelsea : you do n't have to say anything . this is what love looks like . [ sighs ] adam : well , i can -- i can fill you in on some things that phyllis left out . for one , it was an accident . i promise . okay ? i was in vegas and i was playing poker . or , should i say , spider was . chance was there . he was working undercover on the money - laundering case . when he saw me , he obviously knew who i really was , but i was in no position to hear it at the time . so he recognized that , he never pushed . he never told anyone . we were just two people living under assumed identities in some strange place . and we became friends . you know ? he looked out for me . he came to my rescue more than once . so when he got himself into a bad spot with a bad guy one night , i returned the favor . there was was a fight , and all i wanted to do is scare the guy off , but things -- they just started to spiral out of control . okay ? i saw the look in the guy 's eyes . he would have killed us both . that 's the truth . chelsea : um ... and afterwards ? adam : we did what had to be done . chelsea : [ exhales sharply ] adam : and if i could go back , if i could change it , i would . chelsea : it 's okay . i understand . adam : [ sighs ] so ... you and chance the only people who know about this . adam : well , and now phyllis . and , look , i meant what i said . i can handle phyllis . chelsea : no . phyllis is coming after me now . i will deal with her . adam : what are you gon na do ? chance : sorry if i 'm interrupting . abby : no , you 're just in time . chance : speaking of time , we should probably go . abby : ah , yes . it 's the newman gala . we do n't want to be late . everyone in town will be there . phyllis : oh , that sounds like fun . a whole evening centered around , victor newman patting himself on the back . that should be a gas . abby : bye , phyllis . uh , when can i talk to you about my ideas ? abby : my gosh , you are so obsessed with this interior design stuff . okay , fine . i have an idea . why do n't you write it up ? i 'll put it in a very special file . it 's round and it 's metal , and it sits right next to my desk . [ cellphone chimes ] phyllis : is that chelsea ? you should take care of that . i 'll keep chance company . abby : i 'll just be a minute . chance : what 's going on with you ? phyllis : why do n't you join me for a bellini ? we make the best in town . that is something that is not going to change . chance : when you 're in charge of the bar menu ? phyllis : come on , big guy . join me . abby : hi . chelsea : hey . abby : your text could n't have come at a better time . phyllis is being extra tiresome tonight . chelsea : is she now ? abby : yeah , but at least we have the gala this evening , so we wo n't be available to her for the rest of the night . what 's going on ? something serious ? i 'm not sure how to say this , so i 'm just gon na say it . i 'm selling my shares in the hotel . abby : you 're what ? chelsea : uh ... abby : okay , look . if you 're not happy , that 's one thing , but i -- but i love being partners with you . if this is a cash flow problem , maybe i can float you a loan . chelsea : no , it 's not that . and there 's more . abby : there 's more than selling your shares ? chelsea : i 'm selling my shares to phyllis . abby : okay , wait . you 're -- you 're kidding , right ? because i was talking about how annoying she is . chelsea : i wish i was kidding you , but , no , i am being serious . abby : chelsea , why would you do something like that ? chelsea : i 'm so sorry . i wish i could explain , but this is just the way things have to be . abby : oh . she 's blackmailing you . does this have something to do with you ? adam : huh ? chelsea : my dream was to push phyllis out so we could run the place together . it really was . the last thing i wanted was for phyllis to get such a big stake in the hotel that she could cause trouble for you . abby : chelsea , what does she have on you ? maybe we can figure this out . chelsea : it wo n't work . i have to step down as manager , as well . abby : so that 's it . chelsea : if you get the chance , i want you to take her down , big time . abby : okay , then , um , well , i -- i have to go get ready for tonight , so ... chelsea : ab -- [ door slams ] challenge what soft can be . `` the young and the restless `` will continue . sharon : whew ! who that boredom could be so exhausting ?

sharon : yes , i am . rey : well , do n't you think it 's a better idea to rest ? i mean , listen , i 'm sure if you set your mind to it , you can run a mile but why -- why push yourself if you do n't have to ? sharon : because ... tonight , i feel fine , you know ? and there may be some nights in the future where i do n't feel so great . that 's the reality of it . i would just like to go out and be there with the people that i love , you know , while i can . does that make sense ? rey : it makes perfect sense . you know , if we get dressed now , we could probably make it in time for those hors d'oeuvres . sharon : oh , wait . um , not so fast . i -- i do n't mind being a little late . i mean , if it means i can spend a few more moments with you . chelsea : i enjoyed owning a piece of the hotel , but i can live without it . if the choice is handing it over & to phyllis or being with you ... i choose you . every time . now , let 's get to that party . adam : we do n't have to go . chelsea : i want to . i 'm proud to be on your arm . phyllis : mm . is it -- rude . so rude . chance : hey . what 's the matter ? what did chelsea want ? abby : she can tell you . phyllis : oh , i think abby is having a hard time forming the words . i 'll do it for you . i will soon be 50 % owner of this fine establishment . chance : wait a minute . chelsea is selling you -- you -- her shares of this hotel ? why would she do that ? abby : that 's a great question , chance . phyllis : you should ask chelsea . abby : she would n't tell me . she said she could n't , so i 'm guessing that you 're blackmailing her . phyllis : what do you have on her , phyllis . phyllis : chance , would you like to weigh on this ? abby : no , leave him out of this because this is between you and me . and i 'm not going to take this lying down . i 'm gon na have a very long conversation with my lawyer tonight . phyllis : well , that is a very bad way to start a partnership . abby : well , this will be the shortest partnership in history because i 'm gon na find a way to undo this . phyllis : she 's upset . chance : what did you do ? phyllis : well , you know , chance , it 's not what i did , it 's what spider did , and it 's what you did to cover it up . & chelsea has decided to sell me her shares to protect adam . just in case , you know , one day i forget and i spill the information . chance : you are -- phyllis : a winner ? you are correct . chance : no . i was n't going to say `` winner . `` i was gon na say that you 're ruthless . phyllis : more ruthless than what you and adam did in vegas ? seriously ? thank you . chance : okay . you finally got what you wanted . does that mean that this is over ?

[ chuckles ] oh ! chelsea : what the hell do you want ? phyllis : oh , you want to get to the bottom of -- phyllis : what , phyllis ? what do you want ? phyllis : let 's cut to the chase . it 's real easy . i want your 25 % of the grand phoenix . chelsea : you want my shares ? phyllis : yeah , that 's what i want for keeping quiet , and , you know what , keep your voice down because people here might overhear , just like i overheard adam and chance . phyllis : you 're not getting my shares of anything , and i am so over your smug attitude . phyllis : no , i 'm not being smug , i 'm being fair , and i really do n't have to . chelsea : how is blackmailing me fair ? phyllis : well , i 'm offering to buy your shares at market value . i just want to be on equal footing with abby , that 's it . chelsea : okay . okay , i see . i see . so this is all about revenge ? phyllis : no , it 's about business , which is about power and leverage , and i have everything right now . really , you do n't have a lot to consider , but i will give you time as a courtesy to think about all of this . chelsea : this -- phyllis : it 's your only option . and honestly , chelsea , you should really think about your son . that poor boy , what he went through . [ sighs ] i ca n't imagine how he would feel . he must have horrible memories of this place . everything that went down with simon black and all that danger that you put us in . and when you decide to give up being a hotelier , you can go back to , i do n't know , fashion or grifting or whatever you do . chelsea : phyllis , if i 've learned one thing from grifting , it 's that you never only have one option . so if i were you , i would watch your back . phyllis : [ laughs ] i like your spunk . the clock is ticking .

[ sighs ] adam : well , i can -- i can fill you in on some things that phyllis left out . for one , it was an accident . i promise . okay ? i was in vegas and i was playing poker . or , should i say , spider was . chance was there . he was working undercover on the money - laundering case . when he saw me , he obviously knew who i really was , but i was in no position to hear it at the time . so he recognized that , he never pushed . he never told anyone . we were just two people living under assumed identities in some strange place . and we became friends . you know ? he looked out for me . he came to my rescue more than once . so when he got himself into a bad spot with a bad guy one night , i returned the favor . there was was a fight , and all i wanted to do is scare the guy off , but things -- they just started to spiral out of control . okay ? i saw the look in the guy 's eyes . he would have killed us both . that 's the truth . chelsea : um ... and afterwards ? adam : we did what had to be done . chelsea : [ exhales sharply ] adam : and if i could go back , if i could change it , i would . chelsea : it 's okay . i understand . adam : [ sighs ] so ... you and chance the only people who know about this . adam : well , and now phyllis . and , look , i meant what i said . i can handle phyllis . chelsea : no . phyllis is coming after me now . i will deal with her . adam : what are you gon na do ? chance : sorry if i 'm interrupting . abby : no , you 're just in time . chance : speaking of time , we should probably go . abby : ah , yes . it 's the newman gala . we do n't want to be late . everyone in town will be there . phyllis : oh , that sounds like fun . a whole evening centered around , victor newman patting himself on the back . that should be a gas . abby : bye , phyllis . uh , when can i talk to you about my ideas ? abby : my gosh , you are so obsessed with this interior design stuff . okay , fine . i have an idea . why do n't you write it up ? i 'll put it in a very special file . it 's round and it 's metal , and it sits right next to my desk . [ cellphone chimes ] phyllis : is that chelsea ? you should take care of that . i 'll keep chance company . abby : i 'll just be a minute . chance : what 's going on with you ? phyllis : why do n't you join me for a bellini ?

abby : yeah , but at least we have the gala this evening , so we wo n't be available to her for the rest of the night . what 's going on ? something serious ? i 'm not sure how to say this , so i 'm just gon na say it . i 'm selling my shares in the hotel . abby : you 're what ? chelsea : uh ... abby : okay , look . if you 're not happy , that 's one thing , but i -- but i love being partners with you . if this is a cash flow problem , maybe i can float you a loan . chelsea : no , it 's not that . and there 's more . abby : there 's more than selling your shares ? chelsea : i 'm selling my shares to phyllis . abby : okay , wait . you 're -- you 're kidding , right ? because i was talking about how annoying she is . chelsea : i wish i was kidding you , but , no , i am being serious . abby : chelsea , why would you do something like that ? chelsea : i 'm so sorry . i wish i could explain , but this is just the way things have to be . abby : oh . she 's blackmailing you . does this have something to do with you ? adam : huh ? chelsea : my dream was to push phyllis out so we could run the place together . it really was . the last thing i wanted was for phyllis to get such a big stake in the hotel that she could cause trouble for you . abby : chelsea , what does she have on you ? maybe we can figure this out . chelsea : it wo n't work . i have to step down as manager , as well . abby : so that 's it . chelsea : if you get the chance , i want you to take her down , big time . abby : okay , then , um , well , i -- i have to go get ready for tonight , so ... chelsea : ab -- [ door slams ] challenge what soft can be . `` the young and the restless `` will continue . sharon : whew ! who that boredom could be so exhausting ? rey : it 's okay to be tired . sharon : actually , i feel fine , and ... chemo is boring . rey : listen , how about you just settle in , and i will make up some dinner ? sharon : that sounds nice . but , you know , the newman gala is tonight . rey : are you saying you want to go ? sharon : yes , i am . rey : well , do n't you think it 's a better idea to rest ? i mean , listen , i 'm sure if you set your mind to it , you can run a mile but why -- why push yourself if you do n't have to ? sharon : because ... tonight , i feel fine , you know ? and there may be some nights in the future where i do n't feel so great . that 's the reality of it . i would just like to go out and be there with the people that i love , you know , while i can . does that make sense ? rey : it makes perfect sense . you know , if we get dressed now , we could probably make it in time for those hors d'oeuvres . sharon : oh , wait . um , not so fast . i -- i do n't mind being a little late . i mean , if it means i can spend a few more moments with you . chelsea : i enjoyed owning a piece of the hotel , but i can live without it . if the choice is handing it over & to phyllis or being with you ... i choose you . every time . now , let 's get to that party . adam : we do n't have to go . chelsea : i want to . i 'm proud to be on your arm . phyllis : mm . is it -- rude . so rude . chance : hey . what 's the matter ? what did chelsea want ? abby : she can tell you . phyllis : oh , i think abby is having a hard time forming the words . i 'll do it for you . i will soon be 50 % owner of this fine establishment . chance : wait a minute . chelsea is selling you -- you -- her shares of this hotel ? why would she do that ? abby : that 's a great question , chance . phyllis : you should ask chelsea . abby : she would n't tell me . she said she could n't , so i 'm guessing that you 're blackmailing her . phyllis : what do you have on her , phyllis . phyllis : chance , would you like to weigh on this ? abby : no , leave him out of this because this is between you and me . and i 'm not going to take this lying down . i 'm gon na have a very long conversation with my lawyer tonight . phyllis : well , that is a very bad way to start a partnership . abby : well , this will be the shortest partnership in history because i 'm gon na find a way to undo this . phyllis : she 's upset . chance : what did you do ?

diane : it 's on me . scott : well ... diane miller . it 's been awhile . diane : mm - hmm . but absence does make the heart grow fonder , does it not ? just came by to tell you that you got my vote . scott : in exchange for what ? diane : [ chuckles ] oh , baldwin ! you are too much . i 'm actually thinking of the greater good . a win for you might be a nice change of pace for this city . instead of lazaro , we have somebody in office who actually understands , i do n't know , the meaning of `` trumped - up charges , `` for instance . like , take my client , aj quartermaine . scott : yes . i read up on that . diane : well , then , you know that it 's entirely circumstantial . i mean , it 's all smoke and mirrors , totally unprovable . scott : is that what you think ? diane : well , what do you think ? scott : i will let you know when i 'm in office . put that on . diane : oh . scott : thank you . diane : [ sighs ] michael : wait , morgan 's saying that you defrauded him . kiki : he is claiming that i married him under false pretenses because i was in love with someone else . and the truth is , is that he 's right . morgan : i know we 're both on the rebound and our physical relationship is new , but i 've always cared about you , ava , and i know you cared about me . i mean , you took care of me in new york , and i think we 've always had something for each other . we 're just now realizing it . ava : what are you talking about ? you 're in love with my daughter . morgan : yeah , but that does n't mean that my feelings for you are n't real . ava : morgan , i -- morgan : what ? what are you -- what 's going on ? ava : i have to go . morgan : where are you going ? ava : to see derek . morgan : derek ? ava : it 's just business . derek : see , the reason sonny can rake in all these millions without ever catching heat is simple . he funnels everything through corinthos coffee . carlos : oh , like ava 's gallery and your publishing wing . derek : exactly . except print is dying . now , ava and i had hoped that elq could be our new front , but unfortunately that is not gon na happen . carlos : that 's too bad . i mean , you could launder a lot of money through an international like that , right ? derek : yeah . well , what are you gon na do ? right now i have bigger fish to fry . carlos : corinthos coffee . derek : yeah , you see , when you take out a front business , it does n't matter how much money a family brings in . they ca n't spend it without alerting the authorities . those millions are useless to them . it 's like having a gun without bullets . sonny : julian jerome was killed in a shootout with a guy named jonathan paget . his body was found by the chief of police , robert scorpio . lazaro : i remember . it was big news back then . sonny : okay , so , there must be a file on it . robert scorpio must have an account of everything that happened . i just -- i just need you to pull it for me . lazaro : i ca n't . those records are confidential . sonny : so ? lazaro : you 're talking about something that happened 20 years ago . odds are all we have is a hard copy . i 'd have to sneak the file out of pcpd , which is next to impossible with commissioner devane on watch . sonny : i have faith in you . last thing that you want to do is disappoint me . lucy : what can i do for you ? sam : well , actually , we were hoping you could answer a few questions for us . alexis : and we would n't ask unless it were very important . lucy : okay . okay . um ... consider me intrigued . what do you want to know ? alexis : uh , we 're inquiring about a certain individual with whom you were reputedly acquainted with . sam : what do you know about victor jerome ? lucy : victor jerome ? well , that 's a blast from the past . what about him ? alexis : duke mentioned that you were , uh , involved with him . lucy : oh , no , no , no , no . i do n't mean to be mean or anything , 'cause i love duke , but he had to misspeak or he has to remember it differently , 'cause i was never , ever involved with victor jerome . sam : you were n't ? lucy : no . no , i was n't . really . i promise . i admit , i was , uh , making bad relationship choices at the time , but happily i was never involved with him . i was not wanting him , but he -- he kind of wanted me . he was actually head over heels in love with me . and unfortunately when i rejected his affections , he ate it . sam : he did ? wait , what do you mean ? he -- he died when you rejected him ? lucy : yeah . i - i -- i guess so . technically he did . he literally ... ate it . he -- he choked on my necklace . sam : [ gasps ] alexis : he did . lucy : okay , but you still have not said why do you want to know about him ? sam : um , okay , this is gon na sound a little bit awkward , and i 'm sorry for being so crass about this , but is it possible that victor had other relationships ? a mistress , possibly ? lucy : oh , um , let me think . yeah . [ gasps ] there was a woman . her name was , um , dimetria . and she actually bore his love child . franco : all right , what did i do now ? heather : you said that you wanted my paintings because you admire my work , my artistic genius . and now based on what you were telling carly , it sounds like you 're just trying to pass them off as your own . franco : i had to tell carly that , right ? i mean , i had to . i -- [ sighs ] i ca n't show her my real work , 'cause it would ruin the mystique . heather : so , you are planning an art show ? franco : yeah , of course , but , you know , not with these . it 'll be with my artwork . heather : new pieces . from the franco . can i see them ? franco : yeah , well , no , it 's like i said . it would ruin the mystique . heather : you 're not comparing me to carly , are you ? franco : no , not at all . it 's just that my work is very contextual , and it has to be in a context . and if i showed it to you now , it would be like giving you your christmas present in october . heather : say no more . besides , i 've already had my present for today . carly 's seeing someone else . franco : yeah , i already told you that . heather : and what 's going on with you and diane miller ? from what i hear , she 's quite promiscuous . franco : well , she 's a fantastic attorney . heather : no question . franco : yeah . heather : but a lousy gossip columnist . did you know that her former publisher fired her and hired me to do her job ? he was thrilled with it ! in fact , we became quite close . his name is actually -- franco : i do n't need to know his name . heather : well , i guess i ca n't complain . jumping from carly to diane is a step in the right direction . franco : yes , it is ! in fact , you know what ? diane is on her way over right now . so now would be a great time for you to leave . heather : now ? franco : yes . heather : i thought we could grab some blts . franco : i 'll take a rain check on that . okay ? because i do n't want to send diane mixed signals . not now . not during the honeymoon phase of our new relationship . heather : fine . and , by the way , yes , you are very welcome . franco : hmm . heather : for the paintings . franco : yeah . heather : ca n't wait to see your big show . [ door closes ] sam : so , victor and dimetria had a child . lucy : uh , yeah , a boy . a son unfortunately named dino . what ? that 's not the information you wanted ? what ? alexis : actually , we 're trying to find out if victor fathered an illegitimate daughter . lucy : well , not with dimetria . [ gasps ] but there was that other mistress . sam : what other mistress ? ava : you mind telling me why you 're ignoring my -- carlos rivera . i heard you were in town . carlos : ava jerome ! mm ! still as gorgeous as the day we met . ava : you always did know just what to say . carlos : [ chuckles ] ava : so , any luck with that old love of yours ? carlos : it 's an uphill battle . ava : i do know what that 's like . carlos : well , yeah . derek tells me you got a new situation of your own . a little young for you , no ? derek : okay , excuse me , but if you 're both done , uh , carlos has some work to do . carlos : like i said , always business with you . see you around . ava : yeah . so ... you can update carlos on the family business but not your little sister ? derek : you want an update ? it 's done . corinthos is down for the count . carly : what happened ? shawn : our friends paid another visit . carly : the same people who destroyed the coffee shipment ? sonny : we got it covered . what are you doing here , carly ? carly : do you have any idea about morgan ? shawn : i 'll go check on something . carly : okay . all right , so , i 'm guessing that you know where our son is . sonny : morgan is staying at ava 's new place . carly : why did n't you tell me ? sonny : because i knew how you would react . carly : oh , really ? sonny : which is pretty much the way you 're reacting . uh , so i had -- you know , i went over there and i had words with morgan . carly : is he still there ? sonny : he does not want to come home , so , i 'm just telling you , if you go over there all hot - headed -- carly : i just want to make sure he 's okay , sonny . please . tell me exactly where he is . derek : we still have sonny to , uh , take care of . ava : did you get the job done or not ? carly : please , please do n't be so naive , okay ? this woman -- look at her . she 's a predator . she goes after impressionable people like you . sonny : you are an adult now , and i ca n't -- i ca n't protect you from all the harm that 's gon na happen out there . especially this woman . watch your back . kiki : diane ? we 're all set . diane : well , kiki , that was awfully fast . you sure you do n't want to -- kiki : oh , i 'm sure . no , it 's better this way . diane : okay . i 'll have these filed by this afternoon . michael : you okay ? kiki : um , yeah , i 'm okay . it 's just -- it 's a lot to process . michael : do you want to get out of here ? kiki : okay . diane : what 's all this ? franco : this is my new work . a dozen or so paintings just like the one sebastian said he loved so much . we are ready to put this show on the road . diane : yes . we would be , except we have one big problem . franco : what 's that ? diane : you did n't paint any of these . scott : excuse me , ma'am . have you , um , given any thought as to who you -- heather : scotty . scott : heather ? sam : okay , wait a minute . so this mistress who is from new york -- you mean the city ? lucy : what else would i mean ? alexis : what else can you tell us about her ? lucy : uh , not much . i think they met at a bar near the george washington bridge . sam : okay , do you remember its name ? lucy : uh , wait . it 'll come to me . it was irish . wait , wait , wait , wait . riley 's ? rogan 's ? ryan 's . sam : ryan 's . ryan 's . are you sure ? lucy : yeah . it was ryan 's . i 'm 100 % sure it was ryan 's . i hope . ava : sounds like you 've got the sonny situation well in hand . derek : is that approval i hear ? ava : do n't get cocky . how are things with carly jacks ? derek : making progress every day . before long , she 'll be in my pocket , too . carly : morgan ? morgan ! derek : okay , enough about me and carly . how are things with you and the kid ? ava : well , you 're not gon na believe this , but i think the kid is actually falling for me . sonny : we got to deal with what 's in front of us right now . nobody hits us like this , gets away with it . somebody is gon na pay for what they did last night . shawn : you say the word and it 's done . sonny : we got to be smart , though . you understand what i 'm saying ? shawn : okay . so what you want to do ? sonny : we 're gon na wait for lazaro to come back with that file . once we 're sure that derek wells is julian jerome , we are gon na strike . we are gon na make him wish he stayed dead . ava : you wo n't believe this , but morgan thought we were sleeping together . derek : you and me ? ava : yeah . [ laughs ] i nearly choked . do you believe that , julian ? he actually thought i was sleeping with my own brother . | alexis has gotten the lab results to prove that julian jerome ( whom she believes is dead and has no clue is derek wells ) is sam 's biological father . sam is also ready to connect the dots that silas ' daughter kiki 's mother , ava , has a brother who might be the same man in question . they wonder if sam could have siblings out there who are her deceased father 's kids . they find out about julian jerome 's family , mistresses , and illegitimate children he may have had with them from lucy coe who was seeing victor jerome many years ago . | <s>[INST] kiki : hello , handsome . michael : oh , hey . kiki : [ chuckles ] how 'd your visit with aj go ? michael : he 's , uh -- he 's hanging in there . i keep telling him it 's gon na be over soon . kiki : hey , the power of positive thinking , right ? so , do you think his chances are good ? michael : i do n't know . i mean , he 's not even convinced that he did n't kill connie . how is he gon na convince 12 other people ? kiki : well , that 's what the lawyer 's job is , right ? michael : she 's the best at what she does , but i mean , it all depends on how hard this lazaro d.a . guy goes after him . lucy : oh , did i just happen to hear the word `` d.a. `` ? hey , you two lovely , gorgeous , wonderful people . have you decided who possibly you might be voting for in the upcoming race for district attorney ? may i suggest this gentleman here -- scott baldwin ? he is courageous , and he is a pillar of our community . but i tell you this , he will have the defense attorneys running for them thar hills . what do you say ? [ sighs ] sam : hey . alexis : hi . sam : hi . alexis : thanks for meeting me here . sam : of course . what 's so urgent ? alexis : [ sighs ] i , uh , wanted you to be here with me when i opened it . sam : lab results . okay . i 'm assuming it 's the dna . alexis : yeah , they put a - a rush on it , although it certainly did n't feel like that . i mean , what 's the point anyway ? i waited your whole life to find out who your father -- sam : um , you 're -- you 're rambling , mom . alexis : yeah , i know . i mean ... [ chuckles ] really ? it 's not like it 's gon na change anything , right ? i mean , he 's -- he -- he -- he -- he 's either your father or he 's not . sam : right . okay . so , uh ... let 's just get this over with ? go ahead . what does it say ? what ? alexis : you and lucas are a match . he 's your brother . which means that julian jerome is your father . derek : you know , last night , when i said we should get breakfast , i just assumed that you 'd be , uh ... staying over . carly : really ? derek : mm - hmm . carly : it 's only our second date . you know , i like to take things slow . derek : hmm . so that 's the only reason why you would n't come home with me ? or is it because you were still hung up on that psychopath , franco ? franco : what the hell ? heather : give me your honest opinion . franco : aaaah ! heather : do you like them ? carly : franco ? [ laughs ] uh , he 's busy with his attorney , diane . derek : and if he were n't ? carly : i could n't care less about franco . derek : oh . well , i hope that 's true . because , um [ clears throat ] i am really enjoying ... getting to know you . [ cell phone rings ] derek : uh ... carly : business , huh ? derek : in a matter of speaking . but ... it can wait . derek : leave a message . [ beep ] ava : it 's me . why are n't you picking up ? i just have one question . did you get the job done or not ? sonny : son of a bitch . shawn : hold on . damn . what the hell happened here ? sonny : what 's it look like ? we 've been hit . again . michael : okay , look , about the d.a . -- i have n't really thought about who i 'll be voting for . um , and i 'm not sure kiki is registered to vote in port charles . lucy : oh . that 's okay . we still have plenty of time to just march you right down and get you registered . kiki : actually , i 'm sorry , but we 're in the middle of something . lucy : oh . oh , i gotcha . you got bigger things to be worried about . not that you 're really worried . i - i just mean your mind is probably on your father . well , not that father . i mean your biological father . i mean -- i guess aj -- poor thing . that was all he could ever be to you , really , right ? and i know how awkward it must be to have your father kill your other father 's girlfriend that -- shut up , lucy . i will . sorry . shut up . i 'm done . michael : you know , actually i 'm sorry , but i think i might sit this election out . lucy : yeah , right . i - i 'm -- i 'm so sorry . but if you change your mind , hey , you know what ? at least i can give you a button ! here . button , button . okay , excuse me . uh , here . button . here . here you go . kiki : if this scott baldwin wins , do you think that it could help aj or hurt him ? scott : so , a vote for scott baldwin is a vote for law and order in this town . here . thank you . lucy : [ scoffs ] wow . is that the very best you can do ? scott : i - i ca n't promise everybody a brand - new washer and dryer , lucy . lucy : oh , no , but you could do something with a little more energy , a little more charisma , sex appeal . you know , a little more warmth . scott : it 's a little chilly out . lucy : oh , it is not . it 's a beautiful indian summer afternoon . scott : thank you for the weather report . lucy : listen to me , you . no one is going to vote for mr. grumpy . scott : well , in a perfect world ... my wife would be by my side . this town loves laura . i loved her . that 's over . [ sighs ] lucy : i know . i 'm very , very sorry . but , hey ! you got your ex - wife , and might i add , i better be your favorite ex - wife . come on , pal . i am not leaving your side until every single voter in port charles knows that you are absolutely the very best candidate for d.a . ever . scott : i appreciate all your work . have i mentioned that lately ? lucy : oh , it does n't hurt to say it over and over again . scott : you 've got your own work to do . i 'm sure you need to get back to deception . lucy : no , we 're good . we 're good . i think we 're almost up and running . i just have a few `` i '' s to dot and a few `` t '' s to cross , and , unfortunately , i have this little thing with the origin of some tile , but you know me . i can get that done . everything 's gon na be fine . and i love staying busy - busy . scott : are you sure that 's it ? lucy : what ? what do you mean ? scott : are you sure you 're not using this as a distraction because your husband is off being very busy - busy ? alexis : talk to me . sam : i do n't know . i guess i always thought i was gon na find out who my father was and i -- i would be able to meet him , you know ? but he 's -- he 's dead . i 'm never gon na have that closure . alexis : i 'm so sorry . all i can tell you is that when i met him , he was handsome and nice . and considering what he became , maybe it 's best that you never did have a chance to know him . julian jerome was a very dangerous man . carlos : oh . you ready for me , boss ? derek : uh , carly , i 'd like you to meet one of my associates , carlos rivera . carlos , ms . jacks . carlos : pleasure . carly : likewise . derek : listen , carlos , give us a few minutes , will you ? carly : oh , that 's okay . that 's okay . i ca n't keep you from business all day . derek : oh , no , no , no , no . i - it 's fine . he can wait . carly : i know , but i have some things i need to take care of , so i 'll see you later . derek : uh , carly . hope to see you soon .

[ pen clicks ] diane : fantastic . all right . well , i just wish the two of you a ... lovely day . morgan : you tell me that derek wells is buying art from you and then i found out that he 's your silent partner ? ava : what goes on in my gallery , morgan , is none of your business . morgan : yeah , but you lied to me . why ? what 's going on between you guys ? carly : franco , open up or i 'm gon na use my key card . heather : you gave her a key ? franco : she owns the hotel ! she has a key to every room ! i -- i need you to hide . heather : no , what i need to do is have a little chat with your uninvited guest and make it clear to her that you 're not interested . franco : please do n't do that . please , heather . just let me handle this . the last thing i need is for anybody to see you here in this room . carly : that 's it , franco . fair warning . i 'm coming in . oh , my god . franco : hi , carly . carly : uh , you did n't open the door , so ... franco : yeah , i was in the shower . what are you doing here ? i thought you never wanted to see me again . carly : i do n't want to see ... you again . you know , i , um , your bill . it 's past due . you owe me money . so when am i getting my money ? franco : soon . really soon . i got a big show coming up . carly : this what you been working on ? franco : yep . these ... are my masterpieces . alexis : listen , according to duke , victor only had one daughter , olivia , and she 's dead . sam : so ? what if he had a mistress ? it 's possible he had a daughter with another woman . alexis : [ sighs ] from what i understand , he had a fondness for a lot of women . [ footsteps ] alexis : and there 's one now . lucy : hi . excuse me . i 'm here to see dr. kevin collins . to tell you the truth , i 'm a little early , but that 's okay . just do n't bug him if he 's got a patient or anything . i 'll just kind of wait , i guess . i 'm lucy coe . i 'm sure you 've heard of me . sonny : what do you know about julian jerome ? lazaro : oh , victor 's son ? i do n't think he 's your man . he 's ... how do i put this ? sonny : dead ? yeah , people think he is . lazaro : what makes you think he 's not ? sonny : okay , this is just a theory . what if -- what if he 's been hiding out , right ? and he 's back with a new identity . lazaro : i do n't suppose you have any proof . sonny : well , that 's where you come in , mr. district attorney . diane : thank you both for agreeing to meet with me on the fly , as it were , and i do have another appointment , so i will be brief . [ clears throat ] i want you to hear it from me first that i 'm going to try and stall aj 's trial yet again . michael : he 's being held without bail . diane : i know , and being in county lockup is ... inconvenient , but i am hoping that there are greater benefits . michael : what kind of benefits ? diane : him . michael : you think scott baldwin is gon na be elected d.a . ? diane : i think there 's a strong chance . mm . scotty baldwin was never the most reputable of district attorneys , but he and i had a sort of love / hate relationship that i fully intend to exploit at trial . michael : okay , do what you have to do . diane : you know , underneath that very sweet exterior , michael , you 've always been a realist , and i 've always appreciated that about you . your father would never allow it , d neither would i , but i think you would have done very well in his business . you remind me of jason morgan in that way . it 's always the quiet ones that are the most dangerous . oh , excuse me . by the way , i also have something for you . kiki : oh . thank you . it 's from morgan . michael : divorce papers ? kiki : annulment papers . michael : morgan wants an annulment ? on what grounds ? kiki : fraud . ava : what do you mean what 's going on between me and derek ? morgan : are you sleeping with him ? ava : no ! morgan : okay , so , he was n't the `` my darling `` on your phone call just now ? ava : morgan , i can assure you i am not having sex with derek wells . in fact , the idea of it is revolting to me . morgan : okay , then , what 's with all the secrets ? why do n't you just tell me the truth ? ava : you know something , morgan , if i did n't know any better , i 'd say you were jealous . morgan : jealous ? no . ava : good . because you 've got no reason to be . regardless of my relationship with derek . what we have is n't serious . morgan : yeah . well , maybe i want it to be . carly : well , you seem to have gotten over your artistic pretense . i mean , your agent , sebastian , wanted more pieces like that , and you certainly delivered . wow . franco : yeah , well , you know , you got to give the people what they want , and i think i have . i think i 'm gon na make a bunch of money and i 'm gon na be able to pay you back with interest . carly : well , i 'll be waiting with bated breath . franco : all right . that 's great . 'cause i was hoping to see you there . carly : i might come , yeah . i might be there . sure . i 'm sure you 'll be taking your girlfriend , diane . franco : okay , carly , look , i tried to tell you before . carly : and i 'll be going with my own plus one . over breakfast this morning , derek and i were discussing where to go on our third date . heather : mind telling me what that was about ? diane : it 's on me . scott : well ... diane miller . it 's been awhile . diane : mm - hmm . but absence does make the heart grow fonder , does it not ? just came by to tell you that you got my vote . scott : in exchange for what ? diane : [ chuckles ] oh , baldwin ! you are too much . i 'm actually thinking of the greater good . a win for you might be a nice change of pace for this city . instead of lazaro , we have somebody in office who actually understands , i do n't know , the meaning of `` trumped - up charges , `` for instance . like , take my client , aj quartermaine . scott : yes . i read up on that . diane : well , then , you know that it 's entirely circumstantial . i mean , it 's all smoke and mirrors , totally unprovable . scott : is that what you think ? diane : well , what do you think ? scott : i will let you know when i 'm in office . put that on . diane : oh . scott : thank you . diane : [ sighs ] michael : wait , morgan 's saying that you defrauded him . kiki : he is claiming that i married him under false pretenses because i was in love with someone else . and the truth is , is that he 's right . morgan : i know we 're both on the rebound and our physical relationship is new , but i 've always cared about you , ava , and i know you cared about me . i mean , you took care of me in new york , and i think we 've always had something for each other . we 're just now realizing it . ava : what are you talking about ? you 're in love with my daughter . morgan : yeah , but that does n't mean that my feelings for you are n't real . ava : morgan , i -- morgan : what ? what are you -- what 's going on ? ava : i have to go . morgan : where are you going ? ava : to see derek . morgan : derek ? ava : it 's just business . derek : see , the reason sonny can rake in all these millions without ever catching heat is simple . he funnels everything through corinthos coffee . carlos : oh , like ava 's gallery and your publishing wing . derek : exactly . except print is dying . now , ava and i had hoped that elq could be our new front , but unfortunately that is not gon na happen . carlos : that 's too bad . i mean , you could launder a lot of money through an international like that , right ? derek : yeah . well , what are you gon na do ? right now i have bigger fish to fry . carlos : corinthos coffee . derek : yeah , you see , when you take out a front business , it does n't matter how much money a family brings in . they ca n't spend it without alerting the authorities . those millions are useless to them . it 's like having a gun without bullets . sonny : julian jerome was killed in a shootout with a guy named jonathan paget . his body was found by the chief of police , robert scorpio . lazaro : i remember . it was big news back then . sonny : okay , so , there must be a file on it . robert scorpio must have an account of everything that happened . i just -- i just need you to pull it for me . lazaro : i ca n't . those records are confidential . sonny : so ? lazaro : you 're talking about something that happened 20 years ago . odds are all we have is a hard copy . i 'd have to sneak the file out of pcpd , which is next to impossible with commissioner devane on watch . sonny : i have faith in you . last thing that you want to do is disappoint me . lucy : what can i do for you ? sam : well , actually , we were hoping you could answer a few questions for us . alexis : and we would n't ask unless it were very important . lucy : okay . okay . um ... consider me intrigued . what do you want to know ? alexis : uh , we 're inquiring about a certain individual with whom you were reputedly acquainted with . sam : what do you know about victor jerome ? lucy : victor jerome ? well , that 's a blast from the past . what about him ? alexis : duke mentioned that you were , uh , involved with him . lucy : oh , no , no , no , no . i do n't mean to be mean or anything , 'cause i love duke , but he had to misspeak or he has to remember it differently , 'cause i was never , ever involved with victor jerome . sam : you were n't ? lucy : no . no , i was n't . really . i promise . i admit , i was , uh , making bad relationship choices at the time , but happily i was never involved with him . i was not wanting him , but he -- he kind of wanted me . he was actually head over heels in love with me . and unfortunately when i rejected his affections , he ate it . sam : he did ? wait , what do you mean ? he -- he died when you rejected him ? lucy : yeah . i - i -- i guess so . technically he did . he literally ... ate it . he -- he choked on my necklace . sam : [ gasps ] alexis : he did . lucy : okay , but you still have not said why do you want to know about him ? sam : um , okay , this is gon na sound a little bit awkward , and i 'm sorry for being so crass about this , but is it possible that victor had other relationships ? a mistress , possibly ? lucy : oh , um , let me think . yeah . [ gasps ] there was a woman . her name was , um , dimetria . and she actually bore his love child . franco : all right , what did i do now ? heather : you said that you wanted my paintings because you admire my work , my artistic genius . and now based on what you were telling carly , it sounds like you 're just trying to pass them off as your own . franco : i had to tell carly that , right ? i mean , i had to . i -- [ sighs ] i ca n't show her my real work , 'cause it would ruin the mystique . heather : so , you are planning an art show ? franco : yeah , of course , but , you know , not with these . it 'll be with my artwork . heather : new pieces . from the franco . can i see them ? franco : yeah , well , no , it 's like i said . it would ruin the mystique . heather : you 're not comparing me to carly , are you ? franco : no , not at all . it 's just that my work is very contextual , and it has to be in a context . and if i showed it to you now , it would be like giving you your christmas present in october . heather : say no more . besides , i 've already had my present for today . carly 's seeing someone else . franco : yeah , i already told you that . heather : and what 's going on with you and diane miller ? from what i hear , she 's quite promiscuous . franco : well , she 's a fantastic attorney . heather : no question . franco : yeah . heather : but a lousy gossip columnist . did you know that her former publisher fired her and hired me to do her job ? he was thrilled with it ! in fact , we became quite close . his name is actually -- franco : i do n't need to know his name . heather : well , i guess i ca n't complain . jumping from carly to diane is a step in the right direction . franco : yes , it is ! in fact , you know what ? diane is on her way over right now . so now would be a great time for you to leave . heather : now ? franco : yes . heather : i thought we could grab some blts . franco : i 'll take a rain check on that . okay ? because i do n't want to send diane mixed signals . not now . not during the honeymoon phase of our new relationship . heather : fine . and , by the way , yes , you are very welcome . franco : hmm . heather : for the paintings . franco : yeah . heather : ca n't wait to see your big show . [ door closes ] sam : so , victor and dimetria had a child . lucy : uh , yeah , a boy . a son unfortunately named dino . what ? that 's not the information you wanted ? what ? alexis : actually , we 're trying to find out if victor fathered an illegitimate daughter . lucy : well , not with dimetria . [ gasps ] but there was that other mistress . sam : what other mistress ? ava : you mind telling me why you 're ignoring my -- carlos rivera . i heard you were in town . carlos : ava jerome ! mm ! still as gorgeous as the day we met . ava : you always did know just what to say . carlos : [ chuckles ] ava : so , any luck with that old love of yours ? carlos : it 's an uphill battle . ava : i do know what that 's like . carlos : well , yeah . derek tells me you got a new situation of your own . a little young for you , no ? derek : okay , excuse me , but if you 're both done , uh , carlos has some work to do . carlos : like i said , always business with you . see you around . ava : yeah . so ... you can update carlos on the family business but not your little sister ? derek : you want an update ? it 's done . corinthos is down for the count . carly : what happened ? shawn : our friends paid another visit . carly : the same people who destroyed the coffee shipment ? sonny : we got it covered . what are you doing here , carly ? carly : do you have any idea about morgan ? shawn : i 'll go check on something . carly : okay . all right , so , i 'm guessing that you know where our son is . sonny : morgan is staying at ava 's new place . carly : why did n't you tell me ? sonny : because i knew how you would react . carly : oh , really ? sonny : which is pretty much the way you 're reacting . uh , so i had -- you know , i went over there and i had words with morgan . carly : is he still there ? sonny : he does not want to come home , so , i 'm just telling you , if you go over there all hot - headed -- carly : i just want to make sure he 's okay , sonny . please . tell me exactly where he is . derek : we still have sonny to , uh , take care of . ava : did you get the job done or not ? carly : please , please do n't be so naive , okay ? this woman -- look at her . she 's a predator . she goes after impressionable people like you . sonny : you are an adult now , and i ca n't -- i ca n't protect you from all the harm that 's gon na happen out there . especially this woman . watch your back . kiki : diane ? we 're all set . diane : well , kiki , that was awfully fast . you sure you do n't want to -- kiki : oh , i 'm sure . no , it 's better this way . diane : okay . i 'll have these filed by this afternoon . michael : you okay ? kiki : um , yeah , i 'm okay . it 's just -- it 's a lot to process . michael : do you want to get out of here ? kiki : okay . diane : what 's all this ? franco : this is my new work . a dozen or so paintings just like the one sebastian said he loved so much . we are ready to put this show on the road . diane : yes . we would be , except we have one big problem . franco : what 's that ? diane : you did n't paint any of these . scott : excuse me , ma'am . have you , um , given any thought as to who you -- heather : scotty . scott : heather ? sam : okay , wait a minute . so this mistress who is from new york -- you mean the city ? lucy : what else would i mean ? alexis : what else can you tell us about her ? lucy : uh , not much . i think they met at a bar near the george washington bridge . sam : okay , do you remember its name ? lucy : uh , wait . it 'll come to me . it was irish . wait , wait , wait , wait . riley 's ? rogan 's ? ryan 's . sam : ryan 's . ryan 's . are you sure ? lucy : yeah . it was ryan 's . i 'm 100 % sure it was ryan 's . i hope . ava : sounds like you 've got the sonny situation well in hand . derek : is that approval i hear ? ava : do n't get cocky . how are things with carly jacks ? derek : making progress every day . before long , she 'll be in my pocket , too . carly : morgan ? morgan ! derek : okay , enough about me and carly . how are things with you and the kid ? ava : well , you 're not gon na believe this , but i think the kid is actually falling for me . sonny : we got to deal with what 's in front of us right now . nobody hits us like this , gets away with it . somebody is gon na pay for what they did last night . shawn : you say the word and it 's done . sonny : we got to be smart , though . you understand what i 'm saying ? shawn : okay . so what you want to do ? sonny : we 're gon na wait for lazaro to come back with that file . once we 're sure that derek wells is julian jerome , we are gon na strike . we are gon na make him wish he stayed dead . ava : you wo n't believe this , but morgan thought we were sleeping together . derek : you and me ? ava : yeah .

[ scene_break ] daniel : i , uh , i do n't know . salem seems like a pretty cool place to hang , oh , but major drawback -- no waves . i usually do the dawn patrol , shred a few lefts , goofy - footed , yeah ? and then i am ready to do my doc thing . salt water just lays me in the zone a little bit , so ... kate : so i have no idea what you just said . chelsea : oh , well , allow me to translate . um ... he likes to go surfing every morning around dawn . and he likes to face the wave when he surfs , and he surfs with his right foot in front . kate : ah . daniel : yeah , yeah , but in answer to your question -- no , i probably wo n't be staying around too long . but long enough to see this thing with your father all the way through , but ... i 'm going . chelsea : we 're grateful for that . daniel : no worries . chelsea : i mean , in regards to salem , you could always just say here and take surfing vacations . not that i want to tell you how to run your life or anything , because if you need to surf every day , i get it , but maybe you do n't need to do the everyday thing as much as you think you do . daniel : hmm . well , maybe that 's true . i could shake things up a little bit , right ? explore a new town . you guys got a pier and some water . maybe a wave will break one of these days , right ? and then that 's it . slip in my trips , starting with nicaragua . kate : what ? daniel : it 's the new costa rica . kate : there 's a new costa rica ? daniel : oh , there 's a new costa rica and there are some killer waves out there . unless you want to rent a boat to get outside of the line - up , but it 's just a total monkey cage . chelsea : there 's a lot of other surfers . daniel : okay , she 's good . huh ? is she good ? kate : yeah , she 's good . daniel : ah , there they are . there 's my colleagues . i guess i should schmooze a little bit , hmm ? well , it 's nice meeting you , kate . kate : very nice meeting you , too . well , he certainly does n't sound like a doctor . chelsea : did you hear what he just said ? he thinks i 'm good .

[ sniffles ] even when i w -- got into trouble ... you were there for me . you never bailed me out , but ... you showed me how to bail myself out . and now i 'm in a little trouble again . but , you know , i think you 'd be proud of how i 'm handling it . and i 'm not sorry that i 'm in trouble . because i did it for someone who i love , and , uh ... i 'd do anything for her .

[ scene_break ] max : you would have understood 'cause you always understood . even when you took me in as your son and you treated me like your own flesh and blood ... i always knew i was n't . 'cause i have someone else 's blood running through my veins , and i hate that . and i -- maybe i 'm a little selfish . because i think the brady bloodline is something special . but also because i do n't want that other guy 's blood running through my veins . stephanie : max . sorry to intrude . but ... no matter what you say or what you think , he was your dad and you were his son . [ scene_break ] chelsea : okay , can we just get off the topic of dr. dan and start talking about your new company again ? kate : okay . okay . well , everything 's in place . i mean , it 's perfect . everything just fell into place , actually . all i need to do is get an ad campaign going now and we 'll be off and running . chelsea : well , good . what kind of campaign were you looking at ? something serious and sexy or something light and funny ? kate : well , that all depends on what kind of advertising agency i hire . i was thinking about maybe anna 's firm or maybe tony 's company . chelsea : hmm . kate : is there something wrong with that ? chelsea : nothing wrong , so much as interesting . kate : how so ? chelsea : well , my two best friends are interning for both of those firms . kate : they 're working for both of them ? chelsea : mm - hmm . stephanie works for lumburg advertising , and morgan works for tony dimera 's firm , which should be interesting because they 're already competitive . kate : wow . your life is a regular novella , chelsea . chelsea : yeah , well , i 'm trying to stay out of the middle of it . i already have enough drama in my life . the only thing i can concentrate on right now is dad getting better .

[ scene_break ] sonny : duke was just giving me an update on what happened on the pier . how 's our guy ? shawn : yeah , we were able to patch him up . he 's at a safe house . he should recover . duke : well , that 's good news . sonny : we were also discussing how anna could be involved . shawn : i think i may know . sonny : are you telling me jordan is anna 's snitch ? shawn : i do n't have hard evidence . it 's just a gut feeling . duke : based on what ? shawn : a lot of little things that do n't add up . look , for example -- jordan 's late today , but arrives just as anna devane clears us all out . and th -- that 's just too damn easy . sonny : what else ? shawn : every time we 're picked up for questioning , jordan always seems to come out on the other side smelling like a rose . sonny : have you confronted her ? shawn : look , if it 'd been anyone else , all right , i would have played it differently . but she 's tj 's mom , and i needed to give her a chance to clear her name . duke : i assume she has denied everything . shawn : yeah . she made a good case for why she 's not to blame for the leaks . sonny : a good case ? you believe her ? [ scene_break ] jordan : shawn has been suspicious before in the past , and i 've always been able to talk him down , but i do n't think i was able to do that this time . anna : you think he 's gon na take his concerns to duke or sonny ? jordan : if he does , i 'm in a world of trouble . it 's a risk that i ca n't take anymore , anna . you got to pull me out . you got to put our operation to rest . [ scene_break ] carly : so , have you thought about giving georgie a little brother or sister ? spinelli : curious . carly : oh , about having another baby ? spinelli : oh -- uh , um , no . your friend jake -- there 's something about him just seems so familiar . carly : i know . it 's weird , is n't it ? the first time i met him , i instantly felt comfortable . spinelli : wait . where -- where did you meet him ? carly : here . i - i was in the art therapy room the day before the biggest mistake of my life . spinelli : oh . franco ? carly : yes , franco . what i can tell you is that , you know , it 's been a rough couple of months and a lot of loss , and having jake to talk to and bounce things off of , it 's been -- it 's been really helpful . spinelli : never has he reminded you of ... you know , jason ? carly : well , yeah , there 's some similarities . jake has a way of cutting through what does n't matter and getting to the truth . spinelli : like jason . carly : jake 's not jason . spinelli , jason 's gone . he 's not coming back . [ scene_break ] sam : you want to work for julian jerome ? jake : well , having no memory gives you limited options . i do n't even have a social - security card , so finding work has been tough at best . and carly had the idea that , uh , there are some employers out there who might be willing to overlook my sketchy résumé . sam : some ? i - i can think of two . jake : well , carly also said that sonny does n't have a very high opinion of me , so that leaves your dad . what do you think ? think i 'd be a good fit for jerome 's business ? [ scene_break ] carlos : lavery hates you . you have to eliminate him before he comes gunning for you . [ doorbell rings ] julian : it 's kiki . make yourself scarce . i do n't think she 's in any mood to forgive you , since you shot her mother . carlos : i 'm gone . julian : hey , kiki . what can i do for you ? kiki : we need to talk about avery . we have to get her back from michael . [ scene_break ] michael : i do n't believe for one second that you hurt aj . just the opposite -- you understand how vulnerable and how fragile she is , and you 'll do everything in your power to protect her . sabrina : it does n't matter . i lost my mind . i lost my moral compass . i gave ava those drugs to send her into premature labor . michael : but it did n't happen . ava was fine , and so was avery . sabrina : it was still wrong . michael : look , i understand . i - i do . p - please , sit down . look , i 've been wrong . i 've done things i regret . but you know what ? i ca n't go back and change what i did . but you can pay it forward , you know ? [ baby crying ] michael : you can do something good to balance out the scales , okay ? and i happen to think you 'd be very good for my little sister . sabrina : you heard kiki . she thinks i 'm a psycho . michael : well , it does n't matter what kiki thinks . unless you do n't want the job because how she said i got custody . sabrina : is it true ? did you arrange for your grandmother 's boyfriend to hear the case ? michael : absolutely . [ scene_break ] ava : i 'll be damned if i 'm gon na stand by and watch michael and sonny use my daughter as some kind of prize in their petty feud . you know there 's even a rumor that michael is calling her aj ? i wo n't stand for it . silas : i understand your frustration . i do . but unless we can come up with a cure , i do n't think there 's anything you can do for avery right now . ava : well , there may not be something that i can do , but there 's something you can do . silas : okay . what ? ava : raise avery yourself . silas : i 'm not sure what to say . ava : then do n't say anything right now . just hear me out . i 'll be gone soon , and avery will need somebody to love her , to be a father to her in a way that sonny and michael ca n't be . in a way that i did n't let you be to kiki . silas : listen to me . i want nothing more for avery than for her to be cared for and protected by the people who will love her and put her above all else . ava : that 's you . silas : listen , this is crazy . this is ... crazy . ava , i do n't even have legal grounds to fight for custody . ava : well , kiki does . kiki 's her sister . you 're kiki 's father . so she can make the claim . silas : kiki opted not to fight for custody . ava : yeah , because of some crazy idea that she belonged with sonny , and we know how that turned out , do n't we ? silas : kiki 's young . you 'd be asking her to take on a huge responsibility . ava : you 'll be there to help her . silas : if we do take on this custody fight , it 's gon na be an uphill battle . i mean , i have doctor money , but this michael quartermaine , the quartermaines , they have money -- real money and power and influence . ava : so does my brother . if you and kiki , if you team up with julian , you will be more than a match for michael . [ scene_break ] kiki : avery is your blood . she needs to be back where she belongs -- with her real family . that 's us , the jeromes . julian : okay , listen . i 'm behind you 100 % , but if the decision is overturned , you know , custody 's just gon na revert back to sonny , who 's her father . kiki : we have to do something . avery is not safe with michael . julian : o - okay , well , you j -- i 'm sorry , but you just lost me there . okay , look . michael may have pulled a fast one with the judge , but , you know , he 's never given me any indication that he would be dangerous to avery . kiki : what about the fact that michael wants to make the woman who tried to kill my sister her nanny ? [ scene_break ] michael : you already know i want sonny punished for killing my father . sabrina : is that why you took his daughter ? michael : well , that 's what he thinks , but he 's wrong . yes , i want sonny to pay . i want him to suffer . but more importantly , i want aj to grow up free . sabrina : free ? michael : free of the threats , the danger of the next kidnapping , the next car bombing . just free of the secrecy and all those conversations you 're not supposed to hear . free of realizing little by little that your father has people killed for business . i - i - i tried to keep my brother morgan out of that world . for a long time , i did n't even know i was supposed to try . so i talked to my grandmother , and she spoke to her boyfriend , the judge , and now i have custody , and aj 's safe . [ scene_break ] shawn : i want to believe that jordan 's telling the truth . i care about her . sonny : we have gone over this how many times , shawn ? you have questioned her loyalty in the past . duke : you vouched for her when she joined the organization . shawn : look , at the end of the day , if jordan 's a rat , it 's on me . i 'll pay the consequences . look , i just ca n't be sure that jordan 's the reason that anna showed up when she did . i have a suspicion , that 's all . and i felt it was my duty to let you know . [ scene_break ] anna : you realize no one has ever -- ever -- been this far inside the corinthos organization ? jordan : anna , they are suspicious . they could come after me . do you get that ? anna : yes , but if you quit now , you 're -- you 're burning our most valuable asset . jordan : there wo n't be an asset if i 'm dead ! if you 're not gon na pull me , then i 'm gon na go straight to sonny and duke and tell them that i want out . anna : no , you can not do that under any circumstances . jordan : it 's the only chance that i have to save my own life . anna : no , it is n't . listen -- shawn does n't have any proof . not yet . but if you go and you try to cut ties with them , then that is proof of your guilt , and sonny will have you eliminated . jordan : which could happen regardless . anna : i know that you feel your life is on the line -- do you ? jordan : do you ? anna : yes , i do . that is why we have to play this very , very carefully . [ scene_break ] sam : i ca n't say what julian 's hiring practices are , but the kind of work experience that he 's looking for normally ends up on a rap sheet . jake : i 'm aware of his reputation . sam : are you aware you almost went to prison for life because of what helena made you do ? and now , all of a sudden , you want to voluntarily break the law ? jake : i do n't want to do anything illegal . i just need to work . i can drive a car , but i do n't even have a license . i 'll sweep floors , i 'll count boxes , i 'll do whatever . i just need something to pay my bills until i figure out the next step . sam : okay . you are -- you are just hustling , trying to stay afloat . jake : yeah , pretty much . sam : i have been there many times , and i know it 's not easy . jake : that explains why i 'm swallowing my pride to hit you up for a job recommendation . sam : okay . i will talk to my father . i 'll see what i can do . jake : all right . that means a lot to me . [ scene_break ] elizabeth : oh , she 's beautiful . spinelli : she is . elizabeth : you all done ? jake : yeah . ready to go . spinelli : well , now it 's time for my highly anticipated dessert . if you 'll excuse me . jake : he 's special , is n't he ? carly : spinelli 's one of a kind . everything okay with sam ? jake : yeah . everything 's great . she 's gon na help me find a job . sam : um , would you save me a seat ? spinelli : as you wish . um , dr. drake ? would you fancy a tasty treat ? patrick : i 'm okay . thanks , man . sam : hey . patrick : hey . sam : long day ? patrick : average . sam : well , i was maybe thinking you would like to grab some dinner at kelly 's ? patrick : why ? do n't you have plans ? sam : oh , with jake ? no . that -- that was about something else . he just needed a favor . [ scene_break ] elizabeth : a job ? jake : yeah . that would be the first step towards paying the rent , paying my bills . elizabeth : right , but do you really want to work for julian jerome ? jake : i -- i mean , there 's not a lot of demand for bad bartenders . carly : and he 's really bad . [ laughs ] elizabeth : but you know what he does , right ? jake : he -- he has other legitimate businesses . that 's why i 'm hoping sam can help me . i mean , i can push a mean broom . elizabeth : why jump into something with julian when a better opportunity could be right around the corner ? carly : jake does n't have an id , and he has no work history . he - he 's known for taking hostages and trying to blow up the haunted star . elizabeth : he was exonerated . carly : i understand that , but what employer is going to give a man with that résumé a job ? jake : why , thank you for that bleak yet accurate ... carly : okay , i 'm just -- sorry , i 'm just saying that we need to support jake in whatever he needs to do to survive . elizabeth : okay , well , who am i to question your decision ? i guess good luck . jake : thanks . i 'm gon na need it . [ scene_break ] ava : kiki and julian would stand a much better chance of getting custody of avery together than they would apart . silas : i am absolutely willing to support kiki taking care of avery . julian , i 'm not so sure about . ava : oh , he 's her uncle . he will do what 's best for her , unlike sonny and michael . silas : yeah , well , from what i know of julian , he manipulates everything to his own benefit . ava : so what if he does ? this is my last chance at safeguarding my little girl 's future after i 'm gone . avery is not a corinthos . she 's not a quartermaine . she is a jerome , and i will spend my last breath making sure she stays that way . [ scene_break ] kiki : sabrina santiago drugged my mother and wanted my baby sister to die . now michael wants to make her avery 's nanny ? it 's -- it 's so wrong . julian : i understand how you feel . problem is , i 'm just not sure we could prove that in court . kiki : we have to try . we have to show that michael is not acting in avery 's best interest . do n't you see , uncle julian ? you are the only one who stands a chance at getting avery away from michael . julian : okay , kiki , a custody battle , i mean , i - i - it could take years . kiki : so that 's it ? you 're just gon na give up before we 've even started ? julian : all i 'll say is that i 'll consider it , okay ? i mean , i do n't know . maybe -- maybe there is a way . kiki : oh , my god . that would be great . julian : okay , i 'm -- i 'm not making any promises . kiki : no , i 'm -- i 'm not even worried , you know ? i know that you are gon na come through for my sister . thank you , uncle julian . julian : you 're welcome . [ door closes ] carlos : do yourself a favor , julian . stay out of this custody thing . julian : okay . and why is that ? carlos : emotions are high . people are n't thinking clearly , including your niece . no matter what she says , sabrina would never hurt that baby . [ scene_break ] sabrina : i believe you did everything you felt you had to do for your sister , but i still do n't think i should be her nanny . michael : i disagree . i want her to have someone who 's kind and compassionate . someone who -- who can sing to her and -- and play with her and hold her when i ca n't . i want her to feel safe and secure and , most of all , happy , and given what you 've been through , you are uniquely qualified to give her those things . and you know what ? you are easy to be around . who knows what kind of intimidating nannies the agency will send over ? sabrina : [ laughs ] michael : what 's that ? yeah ? would n't you rather have sabrina ? she says yes . she said yeah , so , i mean -- what do you think ? what do -- what do -- what do you want to do ? sabrina : children are precious . they should be safeguarded at all costs . and if i can help you do that , then i will . michael : so that 's a yes ? sabrina : yes . michael : okay . look , you 'll see -- we 'll make a better life for my sister than the people who made her ever could . [ scene_break ] sonny : thanks , shawn , for , you know , bringing this up , telling me about jordan . i 'm gon na -- i 'll take it under consideration . shawn : i 'm gon na head over to the warehouse , check on wilson , make sure he has everything he needs . sonny : what do you think ? duke : we invited her into the organization . we gave her full access . she knows the inner workings . if shawn 's suspicions are correct and jordan ashford is indeed an officer of the law , she could bring us all down . [ scene_break ] anna : there is no lack of suspicion or paranoia on both sides . tensions between the jerome and the corinthos organization is reaching boiling point . jordan : i know that because i 'm trapped between them both . anna : well , what i 'm saying is that one wrong move could spark something that could easily be the bloodiest conflict this city has ever seen . [ scene_break ] julian : all right , let 's just table the avery discussion , okay ? we 've got bigger problems to solve right now . carlos : lavery . it 's your move , julian . you gon na make it ? julian : we 're gon na kill duke lavery .

[ scene_break ] julian : oh , i am so done with this crap ! i 'm sick of this damn interference . [ sighs ] i 'm sick of duke lavery . [ scene_break ] duke : sonny ? is this not a good time ? sonny : why would you think that ? duke : i heard you had a setback in court . sonny : michael stole custody of avery . but do n't count me out , 'cause i 'm gon na get my daughter back -- no matter what it takes . [ scene_break ] michael : how would you like to be aj 's nanny ? sabrina : me ? michael : you . i ca n't run elq and take care of little aj at the same time , as much as i 'd love to stay home with her . she needs a nanny . sabrina : i 'm not really qualified . michael : sabrina , you 've had a child of your own . you 've been a mother figure to emma drake . you are exactly what my little sister needs .

[ scene_break ] michael : what do you think , aj ? you like sabrina ? would you want her to help take care of you ? sabrina : it 's a generous offer . it just feels a little -- michael : sudden ? yeah , i know . the whole custody situation happened a lot faster than i expected . but i need somebody here full time . the agency 's supposed to send over candidates next week , but , i mean , why bother ? i mean , you 're perfect . sabrina : no , i 'm not , but she sure is . michael : so think about it , sabrina . you need a job . i need somebody here . and look , wh - wh - wh - when you 're -- when you 're done , i will give you a excellent reference . sabrina : well , as long as you write me a reference . michael : what do you -- what do you say ? i ca n't think of anyone better suited to help take care of my sister . kiki : is that a fact ?

[ scene_break ] jordan : we 've had this conversation before . i thought the subject was closed . shawn : well , not for me . jordan : really ? so you think that i 'm a mole , that i would risk my relationship with thomas ? shawn : maybe , if it meant getting you a bigger prize at the end of the game . jordan : were you suspicious of me when you brought me to bed ? shawn : come on . jordan : hmm ? or did you think that i was -- i was gon na talk in my sleep ? shawn : stop deflecting , jordan , and explain why is it that every time the heat is on , you just -- you turn out just fine . jordan : guess i 'm just lucky like that . shawn : or lucky enough to have friends in high places -- say , city hall ? jordan : oh , yeah , that would be nice . shawn : come on and stop with the crap , jordan . you never really worked for the jeromes , and you are n't working for sonny now . you 're working for the cops , are n't you ?

[ scene_break ] julian : i want full accounting on the corinthos holdings on all fronts -- legal and otherwise . carlos : well , sonny 's taken himself out of the game , at least temporarily . so that leaves duke lavery as your biggest competition . julian : well , why do n't you tell me something i do n't know ? carlos : why do n't we kill him ? [ scene_break ] silas : ava -- avery is the best -- perhaps your only chance at beating cancer . ava : forget it . you 're not cutting open my baby daughter to save me . silas : you 're all mixed up , all right ? we 're not talking about harvesting organs . we 're talking about a simple blood test to determine if she 's a match . ava : okay , so say that she is a match . this procedure to get the bone marrow -- are you telling me , you 're gon na promise me that that causes avery no suffering whatsoever ? silas : there 's always a small risk . ava : any risk is unacceptable to me . silas : okay . ava : you will not be using avery 's bone marrow or her anything else to save me , and that is the end of the story , then . that 's it . silas : all right ! that 's the end of the story , all right ? you happy ? will you at least let me start you on a course of chemo ? ava : damn it , i do n't even -- i do n't want to discuss any treatment options , really , right now . i 'm worried about my daughter . in her short life , she 's already been kidnapped and dragged off to canada by two lunatics . now she 's got sonny and michael fighting over her like she 's some kind of trophy . i want better for her . silas : we all do . ava : then help me , silas . avery has already lost her mother . all i can do now is try to make sure that she does n't lose the rest of her family , too . [ scene_break ] michael : and you 're very selective with your forgiveness and understanding , are n't you ? kiki : what are you talking about ? michael : you can forgive your mother for framing aj for a murder she committed , just like you can forgive and understand sonny for murdering aj . kiki : stop . stop saying that word . michael : it 's an ugly word , is n't it ? but it 's a fact of sonny 's life , just like it 's a fact of ava 's . she took credit for the accident that caused sabrina 's baby 's death . kiki : yeah , and that bitch retaliated by trying to kill avery . sabrina : look , i wanted ava to go into premature labor , but i did n't set out to kill her baby . that does n't excuse what i did , and i 'll regret it for the rest of my life . kiki : do you think i care how sorry you are ? michael : okay , you know what ? aj was n't hurt as a result of sabrina 's actions . ava had a few cramps . that was it . so to call sabrina a killer when you look the other way at real killers like sonny and ava and franco , that makes you a hypocrite . kiki : and what if you 're wrong ? what if she still wants to hurt avery ? sabrina : i do n't . i swear . michael : i am aj 's guardian . i 'll make sure that she has a loving and nurturing caretaker . kiki : you want to talk about hypocrites ? the only reason you got to be avery 's guardian is because you had the judge replaced by some guy who your grandmother was sleeping with . michael : no , i got custody because i proved that i can act in my sister 's best interest . kiki : avery 's my little sister , too , and i 'm not gon na let you or her forget that . michael : all right , well , i hope what kiki said does not affect your -- your decision . sabrina : stop . i 'm sorry , but i do n't think i can take this job .

[ scene_break ] julian : well , i was thinking more along the lines of hijacking a shipment or , uh , i do n't know , burning down warehouses . carlos : minor losses . you take out lavery , you cripple sonny . julian : it is a big risk , carlos . a lot -- a lot could go wrong . carlos : this war , this vendetta , it 's no longer about taking over territories . this is about keeping you around to control the territory that is rightfully yours . it 's about keeping you alive . lavery 's got to go . [ scene_break ] sonny : you and shawn believe that anna 's working with somebody on the inside ? duke : well , anna showing up this morning was just too convenient . i mean , not unless we were followed by law enforcement . sonny : that 's not gon na happen , 'cause you guys are too good for that . duke : well , okay . back to the question ... sonny : mm - hmm . duke : ... do we have a traitor on the inside ? sonny : answer 's yes . question is who ? [ knock on door ] shawn : got a minute ? we need to talk . [ scene_break ] anna : hi . jordan : hey . anna : your tip this morning prevented something that could have ended in a lot of bloodshed . jordan : well , yeah . uh , the trouble is , i might have triggered my own . anna : what are you talking about ? jordan : i may be busted . [ scene_break ] sonny : duke was just giving me an update on what happened on the pier . how 's our guy ? shawn : yeah , we were able to patch him up . he 's at a safe house . he should recover . duke : well , that 's good news . sonny : we were also discussing how anna could be involved . shawn : i think i may know . sonny : are you telling me jordan is anna 's snitch ? shawn : i do n't have hard evidence . it 's just a gut feeling . duke : based on what ? shawn : a lot of little things that do n't add up . look , for example -- jordan 's late today , but arrives just as anna devane clears us all out . and th -- that 's just too damn easy . sonny : what else ? shawn : every time we 're picked up for questioning , jordan always seems to come out on the other side smelling like a rose . sonny : have you confronted her ? shawn : look , if it 'd been anyone else , all right , i would have played it differently . but she 's tj 's mom , and i needed to give her a chance to clear her name . duke : i assume she has denied everything . shawn : yeah . she made a good case for why she 's not to blame for the leaks . sonny : a good case ? you believe her ? [ scene_break ] jordan : shawn has been suspicious before in the past , and i 've always been able to talk him down , but i do n't think i was able to do that this time . anna : you think he 's gon na take his concerns to duke or sonny ? jordan : if he does , i 'm in a world of trouble . it 's a risk that i ca n't take anymore , anna . you got to pull me out . you got to put our operation to rest . [ scene_break ] carly : so , have you thought about giving georgie a little brother or sister ? spinelli : curious . carly : oh , about having another baby ? spinelli : oh -- uh , um , no . your friend jake -- there 's something about him just seems so familiar . carly : i know . it 's weird , is n't it ? the first time i met him , i instantly felt comfortable . spinelli : wait . where -- where did you meet him ? carly : here . i - i was in the art therapy room the day before the biggest mistake of my life . spinelli : oh . franco ? carly : yes , franco . what i can tell you is that , you know , it 's been a rough couple of months and a lot of loss , and having jake to talk to and bounce things off of , it 's been -- it 's been really helpful . spinelli : never has he reminded you of ... you know , jason ? carly : well , yeah , there 's some similarities . jake has a way of cutting through what does n't matter and getting to the truth . spinelli : like jason . carly : jake 's not jason . spinelli , jason 's gone . he 's not coming back . [ scene_break ] sam : you want to work for julian jerome ? jake : well , having no memory gives you limited options . i do n't even have a social - security card , so finding work has been tough at best . and carly had the idea that , uh , there are some employers out there who might be willing to overlook my sketchy résumé . sam : some ? i - i can think of two . jake : well , carly also said that sonny does n't have a very high opinion of me , so that leaves your dad . what do you think ? think i 'd be a good fit for jerome 's business ? [ scene_break ] carlos : lavery hates you . you have to eliminate him before he comes gunning for you .

[ scene_break ] michael : i do n't believe for one second that you hurt aj . just the opposite -- you understand how vulnerable and how fragile she is , and you 'll do everything in your power to protect her . sabrina : it does n't matter . i lost my mind . i lost my moral compass . i gave ava those drugs to send her into premature labor . michael : but it did n't happen . ava was fine , and so was avery . sabrina : it was still wrong . michael : look , i understand . i - i do . p - please , sit down . look , i 've been wrong . i 've done things i regret . but you know what ? i ca n't go back and change what i did . but you can pay it forward , you know ? [ baby crying ] michael : you can do something good to balance out the scales , okay ? and i happen to think you 'd be very good for my little sister . sabrina : you heard kiki . she thinks i 'm a psycho . michael : well , it does n't matter what kiki thinks . unless you do n't want the job because how she said i got custody . sabrina : is it true ? did you arrange for your grandmother 's boyfriend to hear the case ? michael : absolutely . [ scene_break ] ava : i 'll be damned if i 'm gon na stand by and watch michael and sonny use my daughter as some kind of prize in their petty feud . you know there 's even a rumor that michael is calling her aj ? i wo n't stand for it . silas : i understand your frustration . i do . but unless we can come up with a cure , i do n't think there 's anything you can do for avery right now . ava : well , there may not be something that i can do , but there 's something you can do . silas : okay . what ? ava : raise avery yourself . silas : i 'm not sure what to say . ava : then do n't say anything right now . just hear me out . i 'll be gone soon , and avery will need somebody to love her , to be a father to her in a way that sonny and michael ca n't be . in a way that i did n't let you be to kiki . silas : listen to me . i want nothing more for avery than for her to be cared for and protected by the people who will love her and put her above all else . ava : that 's you . silas : listen , this is crazy . this is ... crazy . ava , i do n't even have legal grounds to fight for custody . ava : well , kiki does . kiki 's her sister . you 're kiki 's father . so she can make the claim . silas : kiki opted not to fight for custody . ava : yeah , because of some crazy idea that she belonged with sonny , and we know how that turned out , do n't we ? silas : kiki 's young . you 'd be asking her to take on a huge responsibility . ava : you 'll be there to help her . silas : if we do take on this custody fight , it 's gon na be an uphill battle . i mean , i have doctor money , but this michael quartermaine , the quartermaines , they have money -- real money and power and influence . ava : so does my brother . if you and kiki , if you team up with julian , you will be more than a match for michael . [ scene_break ] kiki : avery is your blood . she needs to be back where she belongs -- with her real family . that 's us , the jeromes . julian : okay , listen . i 'm behind you 100 % , but if the decision is overturned , you know , custody 's just gon na revert back to sonny , who 's her father . kiki : we have to do something . avery is not safe with michael . julian : o - okay , well , you j -- i 'm sorry , but you just lost me there . okay , look . michael may have pulled a fast one with the judge , but , you know , he 's never given me any indication that he would be dangerous to avery . kiki : what about the fact that michael wants to make the woman who tried to kill my sister her nanny ? [ scene_break ] michael : you already know i want sonny punished for killing my father . sabrina : is that why you took his daughter ? michael : well , that 's what he thinks , but he 's wrong . yes , i want sonny to pay . i want him to suffer . but more importantly , i want aj to grow up free . sabrina : free ? michael : free of the threats , the danger of the next kidnapping , the next car bombing . just free of the secrecy and all those conversations you 're not supposed to hear . free of realizing little by little that your father has people killed for business . i - i - i tried to keep my brother morgan out of that world . for a long time , i did n't even know i was supposed to try . so i talked to my grandmother , and she spoke to her boyfriend , the judge , and now i have custody , and aj 's safe . [ scene_break ] shawn : i want to believe that jordan 's telling the truth . i care about her . sonny : we have gone over this how many times , shawn ? you have questioned her loyalty in the past . duke : you vouched for her when she joined the organization . shawn : look , at the end of the day , if jordan 's a rat , it 's on me . i 'll pay the consequences . look , i just ca n't be sure that jordan 's the reason that anna showed up when she did . i have a suspicion , that 's all . and i felt it was my duty to let you know . [ scene_break ] anna : you realize no one has ever -- ever -- been this far inside the corinthos organization ? jordan : anna , they are suspicious . they could come after me . do you get that ? anna : yes , but if you quit now , you 're -- you 're burning our most valuable asset . jordan : there wo n't be an asset if i 'm dead ! if you 're not gon na pull me , then i 'm gon na go straight to sonny and duke and tell them that i want out . anna : no , you can not do that under any circumstances . jordan : it 's the only chance that i have to save my own life . anna : no , it is n't . listen -- shawn does n't have any proof . not yet . but if you go and you try to cut ties with them , then that is proof of your guilt , and sonny will have you eliminated . jordan : which could happen regardless . anna : i know that you feel your life is on the line -- do you ? jordan : do you ? anna : yes , i do . that is why we have to play this very , very carefully . [ scene_break ] sam : i ca n't say what julian 's hiring practices are , but the kind of work experience that he 's looking for normally ends up on a rap sheet . jake : i 'm aware of his reputation . sam : are you aware you almost went to prison for life because of what helena made you do ? and now , all of a sudden , you want to voluntarily break the law ? jake : i do n't want to do anything illegal . i just need to work . i can drive a car , but i do n't even have a license . i 'll sweep floors , i 'll count boxes , i 'll do whatever . i just need something to pay my bills until i figure out the next step . sam : okay . you are -- you are just hustling , trying to stay afloat . jake : yeah , pretty much . sam : i have been there many times , and i know it 's not easy . jake : that explains why i 'm swallowing my pride to hit you up for a job recommendation . sam : okay . i will talk to my father . i 'll see what i can do . jake : all right . that means a lot to me .

[ scene_break ] elizabeth : a job ? jake : yeah . that would be the first step towards paying the rent , paying my bills . elizabeth : right , but do you really want to work for julian jerome ? jake : i -- i mean , there 's not a lot of demand for bad bartenders . carly : and he 's really bad . [ laughs ] elizabeth : but you know what he does , right ? jake : he -- he has other legitimate businesses . that 's why i 'm hoping sam can help me . i mean , i can push a mean broom . elizabeth : why jump into something with julian when a better opportunity could be right around the corner ? carly : jake does n't have an id , and he has no work history . he - he 's known for taking hostages and trying to blow up the haunted star . elizabeth : he was exonerated . carly : i understand that , but what employer is going to give a man with that résumé a job ? jake : why , thank you for that bleak yet accurate ... carly : okay , i 'm just -- sorry , i 'm just saying that we need to support jake in whatever he needs to do to survive . elizabeth : okay , well , who am i to question your decision ? i guess good luck . jake : thanks . i 'm gon na need it .

[ scene_break ] kiki : sabrina santiago drugged my mother and wanted my baby sister to die . now michael wants to make her avery 's nanny ? it 's -- it 's so wrong . julian : i understand how you feel . problem is , i 'm just not sure we could prove that in court . kiki : we have to try . we have to show that michael is not acting in avery 's best interest . do n't you see , uncle julian ? you are the only one who stands a chance at getting avery away from michael . julian : okay , kiki , a custody battle , i mean , i - i - it could take years . kiki : so that 's it ? you 're just gon na give up before we 've even started ? julian : all i 'll say is that i 'll consider it , okay ? i mean , i do n't know . maybe -- maybe there is a way . kiki : oh , my god . that would be great . julian : okay , i 'm -- i 'm not making any promises . kiki : no , i 'm -- i 'm not even worried , you know ? i know that you are gon na come through for my sister . thank you , uncle julian . julian : you 're welcome .

jack : something is off at the newman house . i can feel it . phyllis : okay . can you be more vague ? jack : it 's a feeling i have , but it 's a moment we have to capitalize on . everything i learned from nikki and from abby tell me i 'm right . phyllis : oh , okay , that 's it . i 'm in . let 's go get him . jack : you and i both know victor never was properly punished for his crimes . that time he spent in jail was a joke . phyllis : i thought we got past all of this vengeance . jack : i tried . i did . the truth is , payback was never far from my mind , and i think the same is true for you . when you think of what that man did to us , what he took from us , from you ... phyllis : i try not to . jack : and how 's that working for you ? we deserve some kind of justice . we took the high road with victor . what has that given us ? phyllis : you know what ? it gives us this chance to look at people like scott grainger and sharon buy into the act that victor is a changed man . jack : exactly . first , i do n't buy for one minute that victor suddenly has a soul . and even if he did , i do n't care . he ca n't get away with what he did to us . i have n't forgotten . i never will . will you ? phyllis : no . i think he should burn in hell for what he did . jack : listen , we have been patient . the last thing he expects is an attack from us -- the last thing . right now he 's vulnerable . right now he 's -- he 's burnishing his legacy for this ... biography he 's making with scott , making abby his acting c.e.o . oh , and i have n't told you . he 's also taken off on a melodramatic mystery road trip . phyllis : what ? jack : as far as i know , his family has no idea where he is right now . phyllis : well , with abby acting as c.e.o . , chances are that victor is not away on business . jack : let 's talk about business . in the last few months between jabot and brash & sassy , how many deals have we closed ? newman ? nothing . nada . zilch . they are vulnerable . and if victor gave a damn , he would have put up a stronger firewall than my niece . look , abby 's bright , she 's clever , she 's eager , but she 's also green . phyllis : then what , jack ? what kind of damage can you really do to newman enterprises ? victor always comes out on top . you tell me how it 's different this time . jack : because this time he wo n't have his family backing him up . scott : who would possibly be a threat to victor ? i mean , jack abbott mentioned he wanted to give me some materials for the book , but ... nikki : no . a threat worse than that . victor needs protection from himself . scott : you lost me . nikki : victor admires you . when your mother came to us for help with your ransom , victor did it because , yes , he cares for her . but he also respects your integrity . and having you write his biography would ensure its credibility . i know that he wants something that will withstand the test of time . scott : exactly . victor requested an honest portrait . i would n't have taken on the project if he had n't . nikki : yes , but i assume you do n't expect schoolchildren to be reading about victor newman 100 years from now . scott : no , i do n't expect that . i just -- i ca n't say what victor intends , but he does have a healthy ego . most powerful people do . nikki : victor is n't like any other powerful person . in fact , victor is n't like anybody . scott : you obviously know him better than anyone . nikki : victor is very self - motivated . nothing is impossible in his mind . the rules do n't apply to him . they never have . they never will . the problem is that 's not true , even though he does n't see that . so this book , this legacy could really damage our family . it could tear us apart . that 's why i wanted to see you alone , scott -- to make sure this book dies . because the true story of victor newman can never be told . ashley : of course i 'll have dinner with you . next time you come to genoa city , just give me a call . we 'll set something up . hochman : you 're leaving ? just like that ? ashley : oh . well , yes . we have got plans . i 'm not gon na cancel them . hochman : and this is the guy that you 'd rather go out with ? ashley : good night , benjamin . hochman : [ scoffs ] ravi : you sure about this ? ashley : what ? tonight ? of course i am . ravi : benjamin hochman is an important businessman . ashley : please . no businessman is that important . except in his own mind . i 've been looking forward to this . i 'm not gon na miss it . shall we ? ravi : we shall . [ camera shutter clicks ] [ cell phones chime ] zoey : oh ! he 's ridiculously cute even with tears . [ chuckles ] kendall : are you and reed hanging out tonight ? zoey : i wish . stupid chem test tomorrow . but i was over at his house earlier today , and mama bear was n't there , thank god . [ chuckles ] i had to make him feel better , even though she took his car away . kendall : how much better did you make him feel ? zoey : we did n't do it , kendall . but i 'm not gon na tell you the details . [ chuckles ] [ cell phone chimes ] zoey : okay , i 'll tell you the details since you 're dying to know . kendall : uh , just got a text from my mom . she 's being so annoying . i got to go . good luck with your chem test tomorrow . zoey : bye . billy : if you 're mad at me , say it . do n't shut me out of a business decision because you want to put me in my place ! victoria : i know how to separate my business life from my personal life . billy : are you sure about that ? victoria : you know what ? you 're sounding about as bitter as cane did a month ago , and guess what ? he got over it . i hope you can , too , because i am so sick and tired of coddling your ego . billy : right , vick . that does n't sound personal at all , does it ? victoria : juliet had a good idea , maybe a great idea . she 's a solid addition to this team . approving her idea was about the concept . it was n't about us ! billy : good ! victoria : i do n't have a problem with you , billy ! billy : glad to hear it ! cane : congratulations . it looks like you 're achieving rock - star status around here . juliet : hmm . yeah . victoria 's easy to talk to . she 's so open to new ideas . cane : you know , that 's a , uh , an interesting perspective , but hey , kudos to you . but thank you for making me look good , 'cause the faster your star rises , the , uh , the smarter i look for recommending you , so thank you . juliet : well , victoria likes me , but billy is not a fan . cane : yeah , well , i would n't take that personally . it 's kind of who he is . he , uh , thinks he has extra pull around here because he 's victoria 's ex . juliet : hmm . well , not according to what just happened . cane : yeah , do n't worry about hothea who does n't know how to pick his battles . juliet : work environment . cane : [ chuckles ] juliet : does victoria ever play you two off each other ? cane : eh , not on purpose . um , kind of goes with the territory , though , because , you see , uh , billy and i have this ... well , we have a history . juliet : hmm . well , just so you know , my loyalties are clear . if any battles ever come up , i am team cane all the way . cane : well , i appreciate that . it 's nice to have an ally around here . juliet : you know , i 'm so relieved that things can be normal between us now . tokyo is already ancient history . cane : okay , in that case , let 's not bring it up again . hey . victoria : you know , juliet , if you 're free , why do n't you join me for a drink ? juliet : really ? yeah , that 's -- that 's great . let 's do it . victoria : great . it 'll give us a chance to get to know each other outside of the office . you know , just some wine and talk . juliet : yeah , i 'd love that . but fair warning -- i have to pace myself . yeah , i 'm a lightweight , so a couple drinks and i might talk way too much . victoria : oh , well , even better . [ both chuckle ] victoria : come on . let 's get out of here . juliet : okay . see you tomorrow . cane : yeah , see you . billy : have fun , kids . 5 bucks they spend the whole night talking about us . reed : hey . kendall : did i miss any good previews ? reed : um , no . uh , zoey did n't tell me you were coming . is she getting popcorn ? kendall : oh , uh , zoey 's mom made her stay home and study for some dumb test . she did n't want you to be all lonely , so she told me to take her ticket . that 's okay , right ? reed : um , yeah . no , no , it 's fine . um , she just could have told me . sent me a text or something . kendall : so , you do mind ? reed : no , no , i 'll just text her . [ trumpet fanfare plays ] kendall : oh , uh , you better power down . they get all militant in here about cell phones . reed : all right . victoria : so what 's it like to have that kind of freedom , you know , to -- to move across the world on such short notice ? juliet : well , if it means i can have drinks with a role model like you , it 's worth the packing . victoria : honestly , i do n't know if anybody would want to follow in my footsteps . when i 'm at home , i feel like i should be at work . and when i 'm at work , i feel like i 'm missing something at the kids ' school or a milestone . i do n't know . it can just get really complicated . juliet : well , from the outside , all i see is a strong , smart , capable businesswoman who is n't intimidated by anyone or anything . and that 's a role model . and brash & sassy being female owned and operated is ... it 's inspiring . victoria : that 's nice to hear . juliet : i 've been wanting to say that for a while . it 's easier to talk like this just over drinks . i want to be as professional as possible in the office . victoria : well , you are . you are fantastic , and you are a great addition to our team . and i want you to know that my door is always open . i 'm happy to hear any of your new ideas or any hurdles that you run up against or [ chuckles ] if a man is driving you crazy . ohh ! so there is a man . tell me about him . cane : do n't tell me you 're upset that you did n't get invited out for girls ' night , 'cause i 'm not gon na make up for it with a bonding beer . billy : that 's too bad . i pictured us throwing darts and talking football . cane : oh , really ? is that how bachelors use their free time ? i did n't know that . thanks . billy : yep . that 's right , cane . i 'm mr . sad and lonely . you gon na come and give me a hug now ? cane : [ laughs ] billy : look , do yourself a favor . do n't make assumptions about my personal life . nobody wants to be wrong that many times in one day . phyllis : you 're telling me that victor 's family is abandoning him now ? he just learned that his son was murdered . jack : yeah , and he left town ! no one knows where ! you do n't think that 's weird ? phyllis : well , he 's victor . it 's all weird . jack : if ever there was a time for this family to bond together , to hold each other 's hand to get through a tough time , this is it ! that is not happening . you know this family . you do n't think that 's strange ? phyllis : that family 's always been strange to me . okay , who knows why they do what they do ? jack : i 'm telling you . something is off . way off . phyllis : okay . i am not gon na deny that the idea of revenge is tempting . jack : okay , so work with me on this . let 's make our move . phyllis : what move are you suggesting ? jack : i - i - i do n't even know . i need to know that you 're with me . phyllis : i hate what victor did to us . and to dredge all of that up again ... so what if he 's having a dark night of the soul ? you tell me how that 's an opening ! jack : i saw a fundamental change in nikki . i did n't just feel it . i saw it in her eyes . phyllis : did she tell you that they were having problems ? jack : no , no , not in so many words . phyllis : he has been acting like the new , revised , loving patriarch -- jack : yeah , and how long can he keep that up ? eventually the mustache is gon na come out , fangs and all . oh , by the way , abby told me he never even told victoria he was leaving town . she showed up at his office furious . phyllis : about what ? jack : that i do n't know . phyllis : the newmans always keep it in the family . jack : someone 's gon na crack ! one of them will crack ! phyllis : believe it or not , i care about you . and i just hate to see you get caught up in all of this revenge again . jack : something about this is different . something that could put victor off his game in a way nothing else ever has . that something is nikki . scott : i just got a generic recording that victor 's phone is n't taking voice messages ? does he do that often ? nikki : victor does whatever he wants , whenever he wants . clearly right now he does n't want to be contacted . scott : when victor , uh , asked me to write his biography , i did n't say yes with some sleazy idea to do a hatchet job on him . i just want to tell an accurate portrait of a complicated man . nikki : oh , i am not accusing you of anything . please know that . it 's just that the more complicated moments in victor 's life are the problem . he feels that every event has added to the man that he is , and he 's very proud of the obstacles that he has gotten out of -- with good reason . but there are many chapters of victor newman that can never be known by the public . it would destroy our family , right down to the youngest grandchild . scott : look , victor obviously feels differently about that . am i right in assuming that he has no idea that you would try to get me to back off ? nikki : my husband has selective hearing when it comes to opposing views . i knew that i had to meet with you directly to kill this project for the sake of my family , for the sake of victor . scott : this is n't some general anxiety about the past . there 's something specific that you do n't want to have come out . surely you must realize that by telling me this that now i 'm gon na want to dig deeper . what are you trying to hide , nikki ? victoria : so there 's not a man in your life ? juliet : i ca n't even think about dating . between this job and the city , it is more than enough to keep me busy . victoria : you want my tip ? keep it that way . i mean it . because men ? men are ridiculous . mm - hmm . they really are . they take up all of your time and energy , and it 's always about them . and you know what that means . they 're the ones in the clear while you 're the one making all of the mistakes . mm - hmm . and by `` you , `` i mean me . if i trust a man , he 's lying to me . and if i set boundaries or rules , i am a stone - cold bitch . but they -- i mean , guys can do whatever they want . they lie , and it 's , `` oh , why wo n't you please forgive me ? `` if they set boundaries , they look like the hero because they 're so level - headed . and the worst -- the worst is when i let a man know that i 'm interested in him . i mean , they can profess their love all day long . but the minute i let on that i 'm even just a little bit open to the idea , no , no , no . that 's a huge mistake . it 's like the kiss of death , actually . cane : it must be a shock to your system to actually have victoria side with someone else for a change . billy : victoria blows hot and cold . i 'm used to it . cane : i am glad you 're taking it so well , but it 's got to sting , you know , being three against one . billy : was it really three against one ? cane : pretty much was three against one . billy : juliet 's an employee . her vote does n't necessarily register . it was her idea . [ cell phone vibrates ] billy : so if you think the balance of power has shifted , i hate to break it to you , cane , but you 're wrong once again . cane : oh , i 'm sorry . were you saying something ? i just got this e - mail from juliet about the style influencers . billy : have fun learning how to contour your cheekbones . i 'm out of here . nikki : there is no deep , dark secret that i 'm worried about being uncovered . unfortunately , all of this family 's mistakes and problems have been read by the public for years -- lawsuits , arrests , squabbles . and , sure , there 's a long line of enemies . they 'd love to tell you stories , and many of them would be false . scott : research is my specialty . i would n't print anything untrue . nikki : yeah , but what if there 's a little germ of truth ? what then ? your integrity would n't let you cherry - pick the facts . scott : victor 's faced scrutiny from the press before . he 's -- he 's not worried . nikki : yeah , but that 's because he 's not looking at the big picture . there is more to this family than victor newman . our children and our grandchildren are already fodder for the tabloids . grandpa 's mistakes will become their legacy , and they do n't deserve that . listen , i know coming back to genoa city was not your dream . you 'd rather be somewhere off in the world telling stories that affect change . so , why do n't you just let me give you the money that victor agreed to pay you for writing his book and a little extra for your troubles ? you go tell some stories that deserve to be heard . phyllis : nikki and victor are on the outs because you say so ? jack : i would stake my life on it . those two are not on solid ground right now . phyllis : but nikki never said anything specific ? jack : no . in fact , she evaded when i asked about him . phyllis : oh , well , call the divorce lawyers . that marriage is toast . jack : nikki never had any problem taking me on when i made comments about victor . never . this time ? she changed the subject . she would n't engage . she is covering something , i 'm telling you ! phyllis : okay , you want to punish victor . if he is stepping away from newman , and nikki is annoyed with him , all he has left is the rest of his family , and that is the only important thing to him . family is how you are gon na cause him pain . think about what he did to you and me . he did n't destroy our business . he destroyed us . he ripped out our heart and soul . the damage was permanent for both of us . jack : you 're right . forget about newman enterprises . this is personal . we have to hit him where he lives . karen : i never knew it could be like this . nobody ever kissed me the way you do . milton : nobody ? karen : no . nobody . milton : not even one ? out of all the men you 've been kissed by ? karen : [ chuckles ] now , that 'll take some figuring . how many men do you think there have been ? milton : i would n't know . ca n't you give me a rough estimate ? [ song ends ] reed : [ sighs ] um ... do you want to , uh , do you want to stay for the credits ? kendall : i 'm so sorry . i do n't know what happened . i guess it was just the music and the actors , and he realized how much he loved her . i 'm so embarrassed . i 've never done anything like that . i 've never had a kiss like that before . please do n't tell zoey . reed : no . i wo n't . but you ca n't , either . um , but it 's -- it 's really no big deal . um , we can just both forget about it . kendall : thank you . like it never happened . reed : exactly . kendall : now i get why zoey 's so into you . that kiss was insane . reed : you 're not so bad yourself . ashley : that ending -- i mean , the crescendo ? ravi : you really liked it ? ashley : are you kidding me ? it was thrilling . it really was . it was so intense and passionate . that was the thing . the characters were so passionate . and the performers ! are you kidding ? i mean , they were so devoted and so into it and -- and oh ! it was just amazing ! ravi : you 're right . the devotion and the passion . ashley : yes . there was one story point , though . maybe you could help me with that . i mean ... okay , why was it that violetta 's relationship with alfredo meant that his sister could n't get married ? ravi : oh , well , violetta was a courtesan . a - a paid mistress . ashley : i know what it means . i did take a few history classes in my time . ravi : sorry . [ both chuckle ] ravi : well , alfredo 's connection to a courtesan would taint the whole family . it would render his sister less desirable as a bride . it 's all very old- fashioned . family honor and that stuff . things are n't like that now . or they should n't be . romance is -- it 's between two people . period . ashley : the reality is that sometimes it does matter what other people think . ravi : yeah , but it should n't . people can be so opinionated . if you spend all your time worrying about what others think , where do your own choices fit in ? how can you truly can your life your own ? phyllis : victor is never going to admit what he took from us . if he could suffer finally , even just a little bit ... jack : you 're right . the way to get to him is family . phyllis : it 's the only way . if there is unrest in the newman house , we have to pinpoint it . we have to figure out what 's causing it . jack : yeah , we need more information . i 've talked to nikki . i 've talked to abby . maybe you could get something out of nick . phyllis : it 's worth a try . victoria will be daddy 's perfect daughter , and she will say nothing , unless she has talked to someone . jack : billy . phyllis : yeah , he might know something . jack : well , i 'm not going to him . i doubt you want to deal with him , either . noah left newman enterprises on bad terms with victor . maybe he 's a good source of information . phyllis : jack , what is going on here , okay ? we -- [ sighs ] this is crazy . this is crazy . i can not do this . jack : wait , wait , wait . what are you talking about ? phyllis : i want victor to feel the kind of pain he caused us . i do . but i can not go down that hole again . you 're gon na have to do this without me . jack : two seconds ago , you were fine with all of this . what the hell changed your mind ? scott : a little extra ? nikki : you deserve it . you can write about whatever you want , wherever you want . write stories that the world deserves to hear . if that 's not enough , i can tear that up and write a new one . scott : i ca n't take your money . nikki : why ? because you 're working for victor ? scott : because i owe him . he saved my life . nikki : the best way of thanking him is to protect him . just walk away . scott : victor gave up $ 10 million to save me . i 'll never be able to repay that kind of money . but this book is something i can do . and it means a great deal to victor . this is something i can give in return . it 's an obligation to me . it 's a responsibility that i must uphold . it 's the only way i can repay this debt . nikki : evidently i am not making myself clear . i 'm not asking you . i 'm telling you . i wo n't have that book written . i wo n't allow it ! scott : victor hired me . what 's gon na happen when he comes home and he wants to get to work ? nikki : it wo n't be an issue . my husband will honor my request . victor newman may rule the world , but i rule this family . victoria : oh . i 'm fine . [ chuckles ] i 'm fine . do i not seem fine ? juliet : you had a little trouble with the lock just now , but other than that ... victoria : you are right . i am as bad with locks as i am with men . you know , you can not live without a lock on the door , but you can live without a man in the house . oh , hi , honey ! reed : hi . victoria : hi ! reed , this is juliet . she 's our new marketing exec . she has such good ideas . [ chuckles ] reed : um , it 's nice to meet you . juliet : nice to meet you , too . well , the cab 's waiting outside , so i will see you in the office , victoria . victoria : okay . bye - e - e ! juliet : bye . nice to meet you . reed : have a good one . mom , are you all right ? victoria : huh ? yeah , i 'm fine . i 'm fine . are you fine ? oh , you 're still mad about the car , are n't you ? you are . reed : are you drunk ? victoria : no ! no . [ chuckles ] no , i 'm not . [ sighs ] maybe just a little bit . reed : oh , my god . you 're wasted ! victoria : no ! i do n't get wasted , reed . reed : you 're totally plastered . victoria : am i ? reed : you know , you start throwing keggers , i 'm gon na have to take your car away . victoria : [ chuckles ] ashley : ravi , i seriously have to thank you . if i could have thought a few months ago that i would be going to the met and actually loving it ... [ laughs ] i think it was the perfect ending to a great business trip . ravi : i should really be thanking you for bringing me here to new york and including me in this conference . ashley : no , you were invaluable to me . we had some fun , right ? ravi : what ? are you kidding ? great food and the opera . it was incredible . ashley : yeah . i think it was a wildly successful business trip . ravi : i agree . 100 % . ashley : okay , well , we should probably say good night . ravi : yeah . ashley : the jabot 's gon na be , you know , ready to take off first thing in the morning . [ keys jingle ] ravi : good night . ashley : good night . jack : we both know something 's wrong with victor . you were totally onboard . then you turned on a dime . why ? phyllis : because it 's not smart , jack -- you and i working together , going after retribution from victor . i mean , why are we gon na do that to ourselves ? jack : what ? you do n't think we deserve it ? phyllis : of course , we do . but i become so easily obsessed with that man . it 's like he 's an addiction that i need to shake . i need to get past it . you said so yourself . as much as i would love to make victor feel the kind of pain that he caused us , i ca n't go back there . i 'm pulling my life together , and i do n't want to go backwards . and i 'm gon na stand here cheering you on from the sidelines , but i can not be a part of this . jack : yeah . i guess i 'm on my own , then . [ telephone rings ] jack : where is it ? you did n't put it back in the cradle ? you never do . phyllis : come on . [ doorbell rings ] phyllis : you want me to get that ? [ next_on ] ravi : you always this much of a pompous ass ? chelsea : i came as soon as i got your message . paul : i wanted to give you an update on the search for chloe . christine : i 'm glad you 're safe and doing well . scott : but that 's not what this is about . cut to the chase . what do you want from me ? | at the newman ranch , nikki tells scott that she hopes she had n't cut his evening short , because she wanted to talk to him about the book . nikki tells scott that victor has left town . scott asks nikki why she wants to protect victor concerning this book . phyllis comes home and texts billy that life is too short and tells him to call her . jack interrupts her by telling her that he has an opportunity that is ripe for the picking . in new york , ashley and ravi are getting ready to attend the opera when benjamin joins them and asks to talk to ashley alone . benjamin tells her about his daughter and the problem that he has been having since the divorce . he invites her out to dinner as a way of saying he is sorry . reed calls billy and asks him if he talked to victoria about him getting his car back , but billy tells him that is victoria 's decision . billy reads the text message from phyllis . cane and juliet join victoria in the lab to let her know how well lily is doing . billy comes out of the office and is less than enthused about the news . victoria pulls him into her office and asks him what is his problem . billy tells her that she is lashing out at him , because he did n't immediately jump back into her bed . jack explains everything that is going on over at the newman household and that there is more to the story than they are telling . jack admits that he wants vengeance over what victor did to him and phyllis . jack also tells phyllis that victor is out of town . nikki tells scott that victor needs protection from himself and there are things that could come out in that book that would destroy their family . ravi asks ashley if she ready to go to the opera and she tells him that she is so ready . at the coffeehouse , kendall asks zoey about reed . zoey lets her know that yesterday they spent the day together at reed 's , because victoria was n't at home . when zoey leaves the table for just a moment , kendall takes her cell phone and texts reed to join her at a movie to which he readily agrees . zoey rejoins her and is none the wiser about what kendall has just done . | <s>[INST] nikki : i hope you did n't cut your evening short on my account . scott : no , no . sharon understood . she , uh , she knows how important my work is to me . you made it seem urgent that we speak in private . nikki : did you know that victor has left town ? scott : he did n't mention any plans . where 'd he go ? nikki : that 's not important right now . but i asked for you to come over to take advantage of this moment to protect my husband . scott : victor needs protecting ? nikki : he most certainly does . scott : who could be a threat to victor newman ? phyllis : [ sighs ] [ knock on door ] phyllis : oh ! hi . jack : you expecting someone ? phyllis : what are you doing here ? jack : may i ? phyllis : uh - oh . [ door closes ] phyllis : what could n't wait until tomorrow ? jack : this is not an appropriate conversation for the workplace . phyllis : what 's going on , jack ? jack : i have some new information and an opportunity that is ripe for the picking . ashley : i promise we wo n't be late . ravi : you look incredible . ashley : thank you . i ca n't believe how excited i am to go to the opera . ravi : oh , not just any opera . one of the greatest operas in one of the greatest opera houses in one of the greatest cities with one of the greatest bosses in the whole world . ashley : hey , we 're not talking about work tonight , okay ? it 's off the table . ravi : as you wish . you got the tickets ? ashley : i sure do . here they are . car 's out front . let 's go . ravi : sure . hochman : ashley , i 'm glad i caught you . ashley : well , hi , benjamin . it 's so good to see you . i mean , you know , without your phone . we 're actually on our way someplace , so ... hochman : oh , ashley , wait . hear me out . reed : ai n't got no car because my mean , old mom took it away [ sighs ] [ telephone rings ] billy : hello ? reed : billy , um , i was hoping it was you . please tell me that you convinced mom to let me keep the car . billy : look , reed , that 's not gon na happen , okay ? the car is history . reed : that 's so unfair . i mean , if you guys were married , she totally would listen to you . billy : well , that 's not the way it works . does n't matter what you tell yourself . reed : man , you know how much that car meant to me . billy : yeah , i do , reed . but i 'm just a guy that works with your mother , okay ? she 's the one in charge . sometimes boundaries need to be drawn . reed : what happened ? i mean , you guys were so chummy . you were basically making out the day you took the kids to the arcade . you have a chance with her , billy . you should hurry up and take it . [ cell phone chimes ] cane : so , juliet and i just had a conference call with lily from the road , and the promotional tour is going off without a hitch . juliet : we are getting 10 times the social media mentions . i put together a marketing proposal for next quarter to capitalize on the momentum . we can discuss it when you have time . victoria : actually , now works fine . cane : okay , let 's do it . juliet : well , first up is the teen line . we should look into partnering with social media influencers . billy : wow . 10 feet away and i do n't get invited to a marketing meeting . victoria : it 's not a formal meeting , billy . you 're welcome to join us . billy : may i ? juliet : yeah . cane : these bloggers have tens of thousands of followers , okay ? billy : tens of thousands ? that should put us over the top . victoria : turn to page three , because these makeup tutorials generate a lot of buzz , and they go viral on a regular basis . they might use 1 to 10 products during a demonstration , so there 's no reason why the viewer would n't want to try these techniques and test the products for themselves . billy : so we hand over free product to media influencers , and then what ? they bash us online ? could do more harm than good . victoria : well , evidently i have more confidence in our products than you do . cane : yeah , and i 'm with you . i think the risk is low and the reward is high . billy : well , look at that . i guess i 'm outnumbered , so good luck with your experiment . victoria : okay , would you please just run more numbers and send me some links ? juliet : okay . billy : guess i was n't needed after all . victoria : is there a problem ? because juliet 's idea is solid . billy : is it ? really ? or is that just a power play because i did n't jump back into your arms ? you proved yourself , vick . you 're the boss . hochman : i 'm sorry about the other night . my behavior was inexcusable . ashley : you do n't have to offer me any excuses , honestly . hochman : an explanation . my daughter has been acting out since the divorce . of course , my ex and i are n't seeing eye to eye on how to handle it . [ chuckles ] big surprise there . well , unfortunately , it just all came to a head during our dinner the other night . ashley : i 'm so sorry . i know parenting can be difficult . trying to do it with an ex is almost impossible sometimes . hochman : i knew you would understand if you let me explain . ashley : of course i do . hochman : now , let me make it up to you , all right ? i 'll take you to a great place for dinner and then music afterwards , some drinks , the perfect night . i owe you that . phyllis : would i love to wipe off that smug look on victor 's face ? absolutely . it is one of my all - time favorite fantasies . but that 's all it is ! a fantasy . jack : no , if we work together , we could make it a reality . you were interested the other day , before you wimped out . phyllis : wimped out ? i think you 've got me confused with sharon . i did not suddenly develop a well of sympathy for that guy . now , i told you at the coffeehouse , all of this is just bringing up misery for us , okay ? that is a fact . jack : conversation we had at crimson lights was a dress rehearsal . it does n't matter . this is the real thing . we actually have a real opening to take that bastard down ! phyllis : okay , what kind of opening ? jack : something is off at the newman house . i can feel it . phyllis : okay . can you be more vague ? jack : it 's a feeling i have , but it 's a moment we have to capitalize on . everything i learned from nikki and from abby tell me i 'm right . phyllis : oh , okay , that 's it . i 'm in . let 's go get him . jack : you and i both know victor never was properly punished for his crimes . that time he spent in jail was a joke . phyllis : i thought we got past all of this vengeance . jack : i tried . i did . the truth is , payback was never far from my mind , and i think the same is true for you . when you think of what that man did to us , what he took from us , from you ... phyllis : i try not to . jack : and how 's that working for you ? we deserve some kind of justice . we took the high road with victor . what has that given us ? phyllis : you know what ? it gives us this chance to look at people like scott grainger and sharon buy into the act that victor is a changed man . jack : exactly . first , i do n't buy for one minute that victor suddenly has a soul . and even if he did , i do n't care . he ca n't get away with what he did to us . i have n't forgotten . i never will . will you ? phyllis : no . i think he should burn in hell for what he did . jack : listen , we have been patient . the last thing he expects is an attack from us -- the last thing . right now he 's vulnerable . right now he 's -- he 's burnishing his legacy for this ... biography he 's making with scott , making abby his acting c.e.o . oh , and i have n't told you . he 's also taken off on a melodramatic mystery road trip . phyllis : what ? jack : as far as i know , his family has no idea where he is right now . phyllis : well , with abby acting as c.e.o . , chances are that victor is not away on business . jack : let 's talk about business . in the last few months between jabot and brash & sassy , how many deals have we closed ? newman ? nothing . nada . zilch . they are vulnerable . and if victor gave a damn , he would have put up a stronger firewall than my niece . look , abby 's bright , she 's clever , she 's eager , but she 's also green . phyllis : then what , jack ? what kind of damage can you really do to newman enterprises ? victor always comes out on top . you tell me how it 's different this time . jack : because this time he wo n't have his family backing him up . scott : who would possibly be a threat to victor ? i mean , jack abbott mentioned he wanted to give me some materials for the book , but ... nikki : no . a threat worse than that . victor needs protection from himself . scott : you lost me . nikki : victor admires you . when your mother came to us for help with your ransom , victor did it because , yes , he cares for her . but he also respects your integrity . and having you write his biography would ensure its credibility . i know that he wants something that will withstand the test of time . scott : exactly . victor requested an honest portrait . i would n't have taken on the project if he had n't . nikki : yes , but i assume you do n't expect schoolchildren to be reading about victor newman 100 years from now . scott : no , i do n't expect that . i just -- i ca n't say what victor intends , but he does have a healthy ego . most powerful people do . nikki : victor is n't like any other powerful person . in fact , victor is n't like anybody . scott : you obviously know him better than anyone . nikki : victor is very self - motivated . nothing is impossible in his mind . the rules do n't apply to him . they never have . they never will . the problem is that 's not true , even though he does n't see that . so this book , this legacy could really damage our family . it could tear us apart . that 's why i wanted to see you alone , scott -- to make sure this book dies . because the true story of victor newman can never be told . ashley : of course i 'll have dinner with you . next time you come to genoa city , just give me a call . we 'll set something up . hochman : you 're leaving ? just like that ? ashley : oh . well , yes . we have got plans . i 'm not gon na cancel them . hochman : and this is the guy that you 'd rather go out with ? ashley : good night , benjamin . hochman : [ scoffs ] ravi : you sure about this ? ashley : what ? tonight ? of course i am . ravi : benjamin hochman is an important businessman . ashley : please . no businessman is that important . except in his own mind . i 've been looking forward to this . i 'm not gon na miss it . shall we ? ravi : we shall . [ camera shutter clicks ] [ cell phones chime ] zoey : oh ! he 's ridiculously cute even with tears . [ chuckles ] kendall : are you and reed hanging out tonight ? zoey : i wish . stupid chem test tomorrow . but i was over at his house earlier today , and mama bear was n't there , thank god . [ chuckles ] i had to make him feel better , even though she took his car away . kendall : how much better did you make him feel ? zoey : we did n't do it , kendall . but i 'm not gon na tell you the details . [ chuckles ] [ cell phone chimes ] zoey : okay , i 'll tell you the details since you 're dying to know . kendall : uh , just got a text from my mom . she 's being so annoying . i got to go . good luck with your chem test tomorrow . zoey : bye . billy : if you 're mad at me , say it . do n't shut me out of a business decision because you want to put me in my place ! victoria : i know how to separate my business life from my personal life . billy : are you sure about that ? victoria : you know what ? you 're sounding about as bitter as cane did a month ago , and guess what ? he got over it . i hope you can , too , because i am so sick and tired of coddling your ego . billy : right , vick . that does n't sound personal at all , does it ? victoria : juliet had a good idea , maybe a great idea . she 's a solid addition to this team . approving her idea was about the concept . it was n't about us ! billy : good ! victoria : i do n't have a problem with you , billy ! billy : glad to hear it ! cane : congratulations . it looks like you 're achieving rock - star status around here . juliet : hmm . yeah . victoria 's easy to talk to . she 's so open to new ideas . cane : you know , that 's a , uh , an interesting perspective , but hey , kudos to you . but thank you for making me look good , 'cause the faster your star rises , the , uh , the smarter i look for recommending you , so thank you . juliet : well , victoria likes me , but billy is not a fan . cane : yeah , well , i would n't take that personally . it 's kind of who he is . he , uh , thinks he has extra pull around here because he 's victoria 's ex . juliet : hmm . well , not according to what just happened . cane : yeah , do n't worry about hothea who does n't know how to pick his battles . juliet : work environment . cane : [ chuckles ] juliet : does victoria ever play you two off each other ? cane : eh , not on purpose . um , kind of goes with the territory , though , because , you see , uh , billy and i have this ... well , we have a history . juliet : hmm . well , just so you know , my loyalties are clear . if any battles ever come up , i am team cane all the way . cane : well , i appreciate that . it 's nice to have an ally around here . juliet : you know , i 'm so relieved that things can be normal between us now . tokyo is already ancient history . cane : okay , in that case , let 's not bring it up again . hey . victoria : you know , juliet , if you 're free , why do n't you join me for a drink ? juliet : really ? yeah , that 's -- that 's great . let 's do it . victoria : great . it 'll give us a chance to get to know each other outside of the office . you know , just some wine and talk . juliet : yeah , i 'd love that . but fair warning -- i have to pace myself . yeah , i 'm a lightweight , so a couple drinks and i might talk way too much . victoria : oh , well , even better . [ both chuckle ] victoria : come on . let 's get out of here . juliet : okay . see you tomorrow . cane : yeah , see you . billy : have fun , kids . 5 bucks they spend the whole night talking about us . reed : hey . kendall : did i miss any good previews ? reed : um , no . uh , zoey did n't tell me you were coming . is she getting popcorn ? kendall : oh , uh , zoey 's mom made her stay home and study for some dumb test . she did n't want you to be all lonely , so she told me to take her ticket . that 's okay , right ? reed : um , yeah . no , no , it 's fine . um , she just could have told me . sent me a text or something . kendall : so , you do mind ? reed : no , no , i 'll just text her . [ trumpet fanfare plays ] kendall : oh , uh , you better power down . they get all militant in here about cell phones . reed : all right . victoria : so what 's it like to have that kind of freedom , you know , to -- to move across the world on such short notice ? juliet : well , if it means i can have drinks with a role model like you , it 's worth the packing . victoria : honestly , i do n't know if anybody would want to follow in my footsteps . when i 'm at home , i feel like i should be at work . and when i 'm at work , i feel like i 'm missing something at the kids ' school or a milestone . i do n't know . it can just get really complicated . juliet : well , from the outside , all i see is a strong , smart , capable businesswoman who is n't intimidated by anyone or anything . and that 's a role model . and brash & sassy being female owned and operated is ... it 's inspiring . victoria : that 's nice to hear . juliet : i 've been wanting to say that for a while . it 's easier to talk like this just over drinks . i want to be as professional as possible in the office . victoria : well , you are . you are fantastic , and you are a great addition to our team . and i want you to know that my door is always open . i 'm happy to hear any of your new ideas or any hurdles that you run up against or [ chuckles ] if a man is driving you crazy . ohh ! so there is a man . tell me about him . cane : do n't tell me you 're upset that you did n't get invited out for girls ' night , 'cause i 'm not gon na make up for it with a bonding beer . billy : that 's too bad . i pictured us throwing darts and talking football . cane : oh , really ? is that how bachelors use their free time ? i did n't know that . thanks . billy : yep . that 's right , cane . i 'm mr . sad and lonely . you gon na come and give me a hug now ? cane : [ laughs ] billy : look , do yourself a favor . do n't make assumptions about my personal life . nobody wants to be wrong that many times in one day . phyllis : you 're telling me that victor 's family is abandoning him now ? he just learned that his son was murdered . jack : yeah , and he left town ! no one knows where ! you do n't think that 's weird ? phyllis : well , he 's victor . it 's all weird . jack : if ever there was a time for this family to bond together , to hold each other 's hand to get through a tough time , this is it ! that is not happening . you know this family . you do n't think that 's strange ? phyllis : that family 's always been strange to me . okay , who knows why they do what they do ? jack : i 'm telling you . something is off . way off . phyllis : okay . i am not gon na deny that the idea of revenge is tempting . jack : okay , so work with me on this . let 's make our move . phyllis : what move are you suggesting ? jack : i - i - i do n't even know . i need to know that you 're with me . phyllis : i hate what victor did to us . and to dredge all of that up again ... so what if he 's having a dark night of the soul ? you tell me how that 's an opening ! jack : i saw a fundamental change in nikki . i did n't just feel it . i saw it in her eyes . phyllis : did she tell you that they were having problems ? jack : no , no , not in so many words . phyllis : he has been acting like the new , revised , loving patriarch -- jack : yeah , and how long can he keep that up ? eventually the mustache is gon na come out , fangs and all . oh , by the way , abby told me he never even told victoria he was leaving town . she showed up at his office furious . phyllis : about what ? jack : that i do n't know . phyllis : the newmans always keep it in the family . jack : someone 's gon na crack ! one of them will crack ! phyllis : believe it or not , i care about you . and i just hate to see you get caught up in all of this revenge again . jack : something about this is different . something that could put victor off his game in a way nothing else ever has . that something is nikki . scott : i just got a generic recording that victor 's phone is n't taking voice messages ? does he do that often ? nikki : victor does whatever he wants , whenever he wants . clearly right now he does n't want to be contacted . scott : when victor , uh , asked me to write his biography , i did n't say yes with some sleazy idea to do a hatchet job on him . i just want to tell an accurate portrait of a complicated man . nikki : oh , i am not accusing you of anything . please know that . it 's just that the more complicated moments in victor 's life are the problem . he feels that every event has added to the man that he is , and he 's very proud of the obstacles that he has gotten out of -- with good reason . but there are many chapters of victor newman that can never be known by the public . it would destroy our family , right down to the youngest grandchild . scott : look , victor obviously feels differently about that . am i right in assuming that he has no idea that you would try to get me to back off ? nikki : my husband has selective hearing when it comes to opposing views . i knew that i had to meet with you directly to kill this project for the sake of my family , for the sake of victor . scott : this is n't some general anxiety about the past . there 's something specific that you do n't want to have come out . surely you must realize that by telling me this that now i 'm gon na want to dig deeper . what are you trying to hide , nikki ? victoria : so there 's not a man in your life ? juliet : i ca n't even think about dating . between this job and the city , it is more than enough to keep me busy . victoria : you want my tip ? keep it that way . i mean it . because men ? men are ridiculous . mm - hmm . they really are . they take up all of your time and energy , and it 's always about them . and you know what that means . they 're the ones in the clear while you 're the one making all of the mistakes . mm - hmm . and by `` you , `` i mean me . if i trust a man , he 's lying to me . and if i set boundaries or rules , i am a stone - cold bitch . but they -- i mean , guys can do whatever they want . they lie , and it 's , `` oh , why wo n't you please forgive me ? `` if they set boundaries , they look like the hero because they 're so level - headed . and the worst -- the worst is when i let a man know that i 'm interested in him . i mean , they can profess their love all day long . but the minute i let on that i 'm even just a little bit open to the idea , no , no , no . that 's a huge mistake . it 's like the kiss of death , actually . cane : it must be a shock to your system to actually have victoria side with someone else for a change . billy : victoria blows hot and cold . i 'm used to it . cane : i am glad you 're taking it so well , but it 's got to sting , you know , being three against one . billy : was it really three against one ? cane : pretty much was three against one . billy : juliet 's an employee . her vote does n't necessarily register . it was her idea . [ cell phone vibrates ] billy : so if you think the balance of power has shifted , i hate to break it to you , cane , but you 're wrong once again . cane : oh , i 'm sorry . were you saying something ? i just got this e - mail from juliet about the style influencers . billy : have fun learning how to contour your cheekbones . i 'm out of here . nikki : there is no deep , dark secret that i 'm worried about being uncovered . unfortunately , all of this family 's mistakes and problems have been read by the public for years -- lawsuits , arrests , squabbles . and , sure , there 's a long line of enemies . they 'd love to tell you stories , and many of them would be false . scott : research is my specialty . i would n't print anything untrue . nikki : yeah , but what if there 's a little germ of truth ? what then ? your integrity would n't let you cherry - pick the facts . scott : victor 's faced scrutiny from the press before . he 's -- he 's not worried . nikki : yeah , but that 's because he 's not looking at the big picture . there is more to this family than victor newman . our children and our grandchildren are already fodder for the tabloids . grandpa 's mistakes will become their legacy , and they do n't deserve that . listen , i know coming back to genoa city was not your dream . you 'd rather be somewhere off in the world telling stories that affect change . so , why do n't you just let me give you the money that victor agreed to pay you for writing his book and a little extra for your troubles ? you go tell some stories that deserve to be heard . phyllis : nikki and victor are on the outs because you say so ? jack : i would stake my life on it . those two are not on solid ground right now . phyllis : but nikki never said anything specific ? jack : no . in fact , she evaded when i asked about him . phyllis : oh , well , call the divorce lawyers . that marriage is toast . jack : nikki never had any problem taking me on when i made comments about victor . never . this time ? she changed the subject . she would n't engage . she is covering something , i 'm telling you ! phyllis : okay , you want to punish victor . if he is stepping away from newman , and nikki is annoyed with him , all he has left is the rest of his family , and that is the only important thing to him . family is how you are gon na cause him pain . think about what he did to you and me . he did n't destroy our business . he destroyed us . he ripped out our heart and soul . the damage was permanent for both of us . jack : you 're right . forget about newman enterprises . this is personal . we have to hit him where he lives . karen : i never knew it could be like this . nobody ever kissed me the way you do . milton : nobody ? karen : no . nobody . milton : not even one ? out of all the men you 've been kissed by ? karen : [ chuckles ] now , that 'll take some figuring . how many men do you think there have been ? milton : i would n't know . ca n't you give me a rough estimate ? [ song ends ] reed : [ sighs ] um ... do you want to , uh , do you want to stay for the credits ? kendall : i 'm so sorry . i do n't know what happened . i guess it was just the music and the actors , and he realized how much he loved her . i 'm so embarrassed . i 've never done anything like that . i 've never had a kiss like that before . please do n't tell zoey . reed : no . i wo n't . but you ca n't , either . um , but it 's -- it 's really no big deal . um , we can just both forget about it . kendall : thank you . like it never happened . reed : exactly . kendall : now i get why zoey 's so into you . that kiss was insane . reed : you 're not so bad yourself . ashley : that ending -- i mean , the crescendo ? ravi : you really liked it ? ashley : are you kidding me ? it was thrilling . it really was . it was so intense and passionate . that was the thing . the characters were so passionate . and the performers ! are you kidding ? i mean , they were so devoted and so into it and -- and oh ! it was just amazing ! ravi : you 're right . the devotion and the passion . ashley : yes . there was one story point , though . maybe you could help me with that . i mean ... okay , why was it that violetta 's relationship with alfredo meant that his sister could n't get married ? ravi : oh , well , violetta was a courtesan . a - a paid mistress . ashley : i know what it means . i did take a few history classes in my time . ravi : sorry . [ both chuckle ] ravi : well , alfredo 's connection to a courtesan would taint the whole family . it would render his sister less desirable as a bride . it 's all very old- fashioned . family honor and that stuff . things are n't like that now . or they should n't be . romance is -- it 's between two people . period . ashley : the reality is that sometimes it does matter what other people think . ravi : yeah , but it should n't . people can be so opinionated . if you spend all your time worrying about what others think , where do your own choices fit in ? how can you truly can your life your own ? phyllis : victor is never going to admit what he took from us . if he could suffer finally , even just a little bit ... jack : you 're right . the way to get to him is family . phyllis : it 's the only way . if there is unrest in the newman house , we have to pinpoint it . we have to figure out what 's causing it . jack : yeah , we need more information . i 've talked to nikki . i 've talked to abby . maybe you could get something out of nick . phyllis : it 's worth a try . victoria will be daddy 's perfect daughter , and she will say nothing , unless she has talked to someone . jack : billy . phyllis : yeah , he might know something . jack : well , i 'm not going to him . i doubt you want to deal with him , either . noah left newman enterprises on bad terms with victor . maybe he 's a good source of information . phyllis : jack , what is going on here , okay ? we -- [ sighs ] this is crazy . this is crazy . i can not do this . jack : wait , wait , wait . what are you talking about ? phyllis : i want victor to feel the kind of pain he caused us . i do . but i can not go down that hole again . you 're gon na have to do this without me . jack : two seconds ago , you were fine with all of this . what the hell changed your mind ? scott : a little extra ? nikki : you deserve it . you can write about whatever you want , wherever you want . write stories that the world deserves to hear . if that 's not enough , i can tear that up and write a new one . scott : i ca n't take your money . nikki : why ? because you 're working for victor ? scott : because i owe him . he saved my life . nikki : the best way of thanking him is to protect him . just walk away . scott : victor gave up $ 10 million to save me . i 'll never be able to repay that kind of money . but this book is something i can do . and it means a great deal to victor . this is something i can give in return . it 's an obligation to me . it 's a responsibility that i must uphold . it 's the only way i can repay this debt . nikki : evidently i am not making myself clear . i 'm not asking you . i 'm telling you . i wo n't have that book written . i wo n't allow it ! scott : victor hired me . what 's gon na happen when he comes home and he wants to get to work ? nikki : it wo n't be an issue . my husband will honor my request . victor newman may rule the world , but i rule this family . victoria : oh . i 'm fine . [ chuckles ] i 'm fine . do i not seem fine ? juliet : you had a little trouble with the lock just now , but other than that ... victoria : you are right . i am as bad with locks as i am with men . you know , you can not live without a lock on the door , but you can live without a man in the house . oh , hi , honey ! reed : hi . victoria : hi ! reed , this is juliet . she 's our new marketing exec . she has such good ideas .

ashley : you think i sent you flowers ? travis : i know you had something to do with it . ashley : well , i did n't send you flowers . i did n't send you anything . why would you think it was from me ? was there a card ? travis : yeah . i figured you were trying to mess with me . ashley : not my style . who was the card from ? travis : michelle . i was under the impression you two were n't very close . ashley : no , that 's not true . i called her and i told her that i ran into you . travis : oh , just out of the blue , for no reason ? ashley : why is that a big deal ? michelle and i are friends . travis : right . ashley : i told her that you were living in genoa city and that you were working at newman , something that you did n't tell me when we were trapped in the elevator . travis : why would that matter , ashley ? ashley : it matters because you 're involved with my brother 's ex and you 're living with my niece and my nephew , and frankly , i do n't think you 've been completely honest with everybody . travis : i 've been upfront about everything . ashley : really ? travis : yeah . ashley : even the real reason why you left new york ? and ditched your wall street career ? nikki : are you saving this seat for travis , or may i have it ? victoria : no , it 's all yours . he has his nose to the grindstone at the moment . nikki : yes , i know . today 's his first day at newman enterprises . have you heard anything ? victoria : well , when i stopped by earlier , he seemed to be totally in his element . nikki : yeah ? what did you father have to say ? victoria : i think that dad and travis are getting along really well . he even gave travis adam 's old office . nikki : uh - huh . i would think you 'd be a little happier that your father seems to like your new man so much . victoria : mom , look , i want to be . i just feel a little wary . and can you blame me ? i mean , most of my life , anyone that i 've ever been with has never been good enough for dad . nikki : i ca n't deny that . victoria : when it comes to travis and me , i just want to make sure that dad does n't have some other agenda . victor : and , sweetheart , follow up with legal on the rest of the contracts . i want to know where the deal stands , okay ? sweetheart , are you listening ? abby : i 'm sorry , what ? victor : you seem distracted . what 's going on ? abby : how do you do it ? victor : how do i do what ? abby : you and nikki -- how do you make it work after all these years ? victor : how do i -- you 're asking me for advice about marriage ? abby : is that totally weird ? victor : well , you know , i 've been married i do n't know how many times . the more important question is -- why are you asking ? hey , girl with the gloves ! you left your phone . mariah : thanks a bunch . that would have been a pain . kevin : oh , mariah ! what are you doing here ? and why do you look so nervous ? sharon : stonevale . yeah . now that you mention it , i think that is the facility that patty 's staying in . dylan : and does n't it seem strange that the guy 's phone that we 're looking for passed through there ? sharon : well , you just said that this plumber works on a lot of different properties . can i see that list again ? dylan : mm - hmm . hey . your hands are shaking . sharon : no . no . i 'm fine . dylan : no , no , obviously you 're not fine . whoever 's been calling , harassing you -- it 's shaken you up a lot more than you 're willing to admit . time for your art therapy , patty . another chance to express whatever 's on your mind . there has to be so much more you want to get out , so let 's see it . yeah . mariah : me ? i 'm -- i 'm not nervous . you 're nervous . kevin : what are you talking about ? mariah : i -- i just do n't know [ chuckles ] where you would get that from . kevin : oh , from the way your eyes keep darting around and the tiny beads of sweat that are breaking out on your forehead . mariah : um ... you know what ? you caught me . i 'm nervous . i was meeting a guy here . kevin : a date ? at a dump like this ? nice ! mariah : yeah . drinks . a beer . i do have a life of my own , you know . what about you ? what are you doing here ? this is n't exactly your scene . kevin : uh , i was trying to track down that stolen cell phone sharon 's stalker is using . mariah : since when are you about shoe leather and not your computer ? kevin : well , this is personal for me . i did n't want to just stay in the office and bang on my keyboard , you know ? mariah : so , this bar was one of the locations that the phone might have been ? kevin : that 's right . mariah : and the cops are really gon na check every single one of the locations on the list . kevin : it 's what cops do . how else are we gon na find this creep who 's been stalking your mom ? of course , if he would just turn the phone on , i could triangulate the location , but i promise you , we 're not gon na stop until we find this guy . mariah : i appreciate that . kevin : you 're welcome . mariah : i 'll talk to you later . kevin : wait , wait , wait . what about your date ? mariah : you know , turns out , i came here for nothing , so i 'm just gon na go home . kevin : he did n't show up ? who is this guy ? anyone i know ? mariah : nope . i met him online , and yes , he stood me up . are you happy ? kevin : ah - ta - ta . what 's with the attitude ? mariah : i 'm sorry . um ... am i supposed to be full of happiness and sunshine because i got stood up in the middle of the day at a place like this ? i 'm kind of mad at the world right now , i apologize . i 'll talk to you later . kevin : later . excuse me . hi . uh , do you know vince milani , the plumber ? sure . he was here a few weeks ago . why are you asking ? kevin : he lost his cell phone , and it 's important that we find it . sorry . i have n't seen it . kevin : do you know if anyone has left a cell phone here recently ? uh , the gal you were just talking to almost left hers , but i have n't seen any others . kevin : thanks . sharon : i did n't want to make a big deal out of this ... but i just ca n't help it . a stalker -- it 's not something that you just ignore . dylan : that 's for sure . sharon : um , you know , what if -- what if he comes here sometime ? when i 'm here alone . or when i 'm with the kids ? i do n't know what he wants with me , dylan . dylan : i 'm gon na put an end to this as soon as possible . sharon : i just need to know that we 're gon na be okay . abby : things with ben and i , they 're not where they should be . thank you . victor : well ... i guess losing the baby was tough , you know ? and then the problems with his boy . i mean , these are hard issues to deal with . abby : yeah , but i was hoping we 'd be in a better place by now . victor : and you 're asking me , your father -- who 's been married many times -- for advice ? abby : you and nikki have been together for decades now . married , divorced , married again . you always find your way back to each other , even when it seems impossible . victor : i guess we do , do n't we ? abby : so how do you do it ? how do you get through the hard stuff ? victor : [ laughing ] oh . well ... we fight a lot . abby : i 'm serious . victor : so am i . listen . if you no longer have fights in a marriage , in a relationship , it means there 's no longer any conflict . that means , you know , things are getting too comfortable . kind of , you know , boring , maybe , at times . humdrum . very often , that kind of , you know , status quo in a marriage covers up a lot of deep problems . the question you have to ask yourself -- is it worthwhile delving into those problems , trying to solve them , to save your marriage ? if you can answer that , then you know what to do . nikki : well , what exactly do you think your father 's going to do ? drive a wedge between you and travis ? victoria : no , just the opposite , actually . i think that maybe it 's part of some master plan of his to lure me back to newman . and when i told him that , he flat - out denied it , which completely contradicts anything that he 's ever said about his children working alongside of him . nikki : so you think he 's giving you mixed messages . victoria : do n't you , mom ? look , i 'm not gon na be jumping up and down and clapping like the happiest seal in the zoo that dad has hired my new boyfriend . nikki : well , i can understand why you 'd be skeptical . but humor me for just a minute , will you ? i 'd like to present a very different scenario . victoria : uh - huh . one that gives dad the benefit of the doubt . nikki : actually , no . it gives travis the benefit of the doubt . now , think of all the things you 've told me about him . that he 's honest , he 's patient , he 's kind , he 's all these wonderful things , and now that i have gotten to know him , i would like to add charming and likable to that listen . ah , ah ! just a minute . do you agree with my assessment ? victoria : is this a trap , mom ? nikki : no . i want you to consider how a guy like travis would appear to a possible employer . i mean , is n't it possible that your father could have met him and thought , `` wow , look at this bright young guy who 's not afraid to say what he thinks and he could be an excellent addition to my team ? `` you have to admit that that is a possibility . and if your father is willing to extend that kind of opportunity to a man who makes his daughter happy , is n't that just icing on the cake ? victoria : you make a very compelling case . nikki : yeah , but you 're still ... victoria : no . no buts . i wish it could be as simple as that . and i would really like to believe every word that 's coming out of your mouth . nikki : but you 're still a skeptic . victoria : well , i mean , this camaraderie between them is just so damn sudden . and given dad 's history , i think i would be a little naive if i did n't have some questions . travis : i did tell the truth . the longer i worked on wall street , the less i liked the person i was becoming . ashley : a person that sleeps with the boss ' wife ? travis : so michelle told you . ashley : she sure did . she also told me that the minute her husband found out , he fired you , blackballed you so you could n't find work anywhere in town . so it seems to me that you did n't leave big business as much as you were forced out of it . so then i started wondering if maybe you found your way back in using victoria . nikki : well , your father has put you through the wringer for years , so if it takes you some time to see that he 's coming from a good place with travis , it 's totally understandable . victoria : hmm . reverse psychology . works every time , does n't it ? nikki : mm . victoria : look , mom . i 'm sorry . i know you did n't ask to sit down here with me so i can give you an earful about dad . nikki : oh , no . i 'm glad . i 'm glad you told me . if you ca n't talk to your mother , who can you talk to ? victoria : that 's true . nikki : i 'll tell you a secret . i was a little surprised myself . victoria : that dad accepted travis so quickly ? nikki : that it was ... i 'm not sure how to put it . victoria : weird ? nikki : well ... kind of . it was very fast . i think that in order to know if he 's really sincere , you 're just gon na have to spend some time with him . victoria : well , i could , um , bug the office , i guess , because i ca n't exactly lurk around newman enterprises and observe the two of them in their natural habitat , can i ? nikki : no , but i have a better idea that 's a much more relaxed , social evening . victoria : ooh . what did you have in mind ? nikki : just a fabulous dinner out . victoria : oh . yeah . dad already suggested that . nikki : he did ? great . we 'll do it tonight . victoria : oh . [ chuckles ] abby : it 's not like i have n't asked myself these questions before . `` is our marriage worth fighting for , or is it already too far gone ? `` victor : well , have you concluded ? abby : i do n't know . [ sighs ] i was hoping that you 'd give me some better advice other than `` decide whether or not i want him `` and `` drink some water . `` victor : sweetheart . i could tell you all kinds of wonderful stories that you read in romance novels , you know , that love conquers all . that is n't real . abby : no , it is n't . victor : you know , when you fall in love with someone , you think that 's the only person you want to be with . that 's someone you ca n't be without for the rest of your life . abby : and then you get married and it 's gone ? victor : well , now , that 's the other extreme . i think the truth is somewhere in between . you know what one forgets very often is what one was attracted to in the other person . remember that . remind yourself of why you married him in the first place . okay ? and hold on to that . you have to learn to accept each other for who you are . weaknesses and all . i mean , i can assure you that many a night nikki sits at home and wonders where the hell i am . i 'm here in my office working . that 's a priority for me sometimes . abby : yeah . [ cell phone rings ] victor : oh , speak of the devil . yes ? nikki : hey . listen , i know you 're swamped , but i was hoping you could break away for a little bit . victor : what for , darling ? nikki : i was thinking that we could have an early dinner with victoria and travis . it 's important to me that we spend time together . victor : okay , why do n't we do that ? okay ? i agree . nikki : great . we 'll see you at top of the tower . victor : i 'll see you there , and i love you . goodbye . see ? even i know how to compromise . that 's another key to a successful marriage , you know . knowing when to compromise . abby : yeah . well , you have given me a lot to think about . so if you 're gon na head out , i will take off , too . victor : but ... let me tell you this . try your hardest to make things work out . but if they do n't ... if you feel that your problems are insurmountable , then you got to look out for yourself . abby : yeah . thank you . victor : careful , sweetheart . things always work out in the end , okay ? nikki : one down , one to go . victoria : okay , well , i hope that travis is up to spending even more time with dad now that he 's put a full day in with him . nikki : i have a feeling he 'll be just fine with it . travis : okay , for the last time with this , i did n't use victoria to get into newman , all right ? i would n't use her for anything . ashley : well , history might suggest otherwise . travis : are you saying that i used michelle for business reasons ? is that what you 're saying right now ? you 're wrong . ashley : it was just a coincidence ? seriously ? you slept with the boss ' wife , and now you 're sleeping with the boss ' daughter ? travis : okay , for your information , victor approached me . the life i intend to build out here is gon na be a lot different than the one i had back east , okay ? i learned my lessons . i know how lucky i am to have a chance to start over with victoria , so whatever game it is that you 're trying to play right now ... ashley : i do n't play games , travis . i was sincerely concerned about your motives . travis : of course you were . so what 's the plan now , ashley ? hmm ? you 're just gon na hold this over my head , threaten to tell victoria if i do n't , what , if i do n't spy on victor for you ? ashley : no , never crossed my mind . travis : yeah , that 's not a bad idea though , right ? everybody in this town knows about the famous newman - abbott war . well , i do n't want any part of it , okay ? ashley : well , if you 're working for victor newman , you might not have a choice . dylan : all right . i made a little comfort food . mac and cheese . sharon : oh . nice . cassie 's favorite recipe ? dylan : that 's right . one of the few things besides toast i do a decent job making . sharon : [ chuckles ] well , that 's not true . your blts are legendary . dylan : well , yeah ! toast ! [ chuckling ] there you go . sharon : you know , this is really nice of you -- thank you -- but you did n't have to go to the trouble . dylan : oh , it 's no problem at all . i mean , we had to eat at some point . i wanted to do something to make you feel better . all right , you get to taste it and test it out for me . sharon : mmm ! dylan : come on ! sharon : mm - hmm . dylan : right ? sharon : mm - hmm . that 's really good . dylan : i should open a restaurant -- comfort food . 10 different versions of mac and cheese . sharon : and toast ! dylan : [ laughing ] yeah . and toast . sharon : and i think that with every dessert , you should get a whole can of whipped cream . dylan : i like that idea . sharon : you know , i 've -- i did n't mean to worry you earlier . i was just a little bit jittery . and before you ask , no i have not gone off my meds . i actually feel a lot better having gotten this stress off my chest . dylan : i give you my word that i 'm gon na find this creep and everything 's gon na be okay . i am not gon na let anything happen to you or mariah or faith or sully , and i 'm gon na do whatever it takes to protect my family , and you can count on that . [ patty humming ] stitch : after the day i 've had , a glass of wine 's gon na taste real good . abby : yeah , i know what you mean . nikki : oh , i wonder what the specials are tonight . victor : where ? where do you see them ? oh , right there . stitch : you want to go say hi ? abby : not really . i was hoping that tonight would just be about the two of us . stitch : i was hoping you 'd say that . you 've been on my mind all day . abby : oh ? stitch : i 've been thinking about the conversation we had -- what we have to do to get things back to the way they used to be . i was n't sure where to start , and then i realized , hey , doctor mode -- triage . that 's what we have to do now , abby . we have to identify and treat the most pressing problems first . abby : ben , wait . i really do n't think that 's gon na work . nikki : oh , look . victor : what ? nikki : the fish special is trout almondine . victor : oh , yeah . victoria : uh , guys , ben and abby are at the bar . maybe we should ask them to join us for dinner . victor : no , sweetheart . i think it 's important for abby to spend some time with her very busy husband . victoria : oh . nikki : well , i 'm just glad that we all had a chance to get together . travis : yeah , thanks for inviting us . nikki : i just thought that your first day at newman enterprises was an occasion to be celebrated . victor : as a matter of fact , it is . why do n't we have a toast to our newest executive ? victoria : that 's a good idea . nikki : hear , hear . victor : travis . victoria : cheers . oh , i dropped my napkin . travis : i got it . victoria : are you okay ? travis : yeah , everything 's fine . victoria : okay . nikki : so , how did it go ? your first day . was it a success ? travis : well , i think if i say so myself , it was , yeah . victor : in fact , it was a great success . i think travis will do very well in our company . victoria : wow , that 's very high praise . i do n't think i 've ever heard you talk about a new hire in that way . victor : it 's unprecedented but i mean it . now , i hope , my sweetheart , that you will be doing very well at brash & sassy ! nikki : so , what areas will you be concentrating on at the company ? travis : well , i do n't have a single focus . right now , i 'm learning about the company as a whole and all the interconnected parts . i think we should discuss how we 're gon na protect the company from external threats , specifically from jabot . victor : well , you know , i 'm not worried about that . jack abbott will not pose a threat . nothing we ca n't deal with . travis : i do n't think it 's that cut - and - dry . the situation may be less tense than in the past , but it 's still volatile . i wo n't be underestimating them . victor : all right . then i suggest you deal with it . how 's that ? travis : yes , sir . victor : all right . sharon : mm - hmm . mariah : hey . dylan : hey yourself . hey , there 's some mac and cheese in the kitchen . help yourself . mariah : thanks . i 'm good . any more news about that pervy caller ? dylan : um , i wish i could say yes . but now that you 're home with sharon to keep her company , i should head back to the station . mariah : yeah . dylan : you gon na be okay ? sharon : yeah , we 'll be fine . i feel a lot of comfort just knowing you 're doing everything you can to stop this . dylan : okay . i 'll see you later . [ door closes ] sharon : were you able to dump that phone ? mariah : not only did i dump the phone , i made sure that it would be found . and now nobody 's ever gon na know the truth about what happened . victor : tomorrow , i shall introduce you to the senior vps of our tech division . travis : bradshaw , mobley , and carruthers . or is she still on maternity leave ? victor : you did your homework , did n't you ? she 'll be back next week . nikki : so , travis , tell us a little bit more about yourself . i feel like we 've barely scratched the surface . travis : oh , what would you like to know ? nikki : oh , i do n't know . tell us about your family , where you 're from , what it was like growing up . victoria : but you can feel free to give the condensed version , of course . travis : [ chuckles ] well , let 's see . i came from a working - class family . victor : what 'd your father do , travis ? travis : he sold boats . victor : oh , yeah ? private enterprise . i admire that . travis : well , he did n't always work for himself . sometimes , though . victor : hmm . victoria : is that why you love to sail so much ? travis : good guess . victoria : [ chuckles ] nikki : did your mother work outside the home ? travis : part - time only . she was an elementary school teacher . victor : so , how did you get into finance ? travis : well , my dad taught me bookkeeping , and i 'd come back from school breaks and i 'd work for him , and that 's when i realized i was pretty good at numbers . victor : huh . travis : yeah . so i got a job and put myself through school . i got started on wall street . did okay for a while . victor : travis is being very modest right now . he rose through the ranks of hazelton and crestwood in no time at all . nikki : really ? what did you do there ? travis : i was a trader . energy stocks mostly . nikki : mm . travis : yeah . victoria : yeah , but then he left it all behind . nikki : now , why would you do that ? travis : well , you know , the world was just really taking a toll on me . there 's no such thing as balance or even having a life , so eventually , i just lost my taste for it . victor : well , now , you can have it all back , travis . the sky 's the limit . stitch : why wo n't trying to fix things work ? abby : it 's your whole approach . stitch : meaning ? abby : meaning at the hospital , you have to put your emotions on hold . you have to be scientific and analytical , but ... ben , this is us . we have to be able to talk about our feelings . we have to let all the walls down . we have to be real . stitch : i see your point . sure . abby : i 'm glad . stitch : so , where do we start ? abby : we could start with something positive . we can start at the beginning . that moment we realized we were meant to be with each other . do you remember ? stitch : well , yeah , that 's easy . you know , i never told you this , but it happened a long time before i ever admitted i was in love with you . i was acting as your bodyguard . we were staying at the club together , and there was this one morning , i woke up before you did , and i just -- i watched you sleeping . it was like this wave of feeling hit me so hard , it took my breath away . then , of course , you woke up and teased me about hovering , and i ... i told you i wanted to stay close , i wanted to look out for you . make you feel safe . make you happy . you gave me the most beautiful smile , the most incredible kiss . so , when was the moment you knew ? abby : it was the same for me . kevin : i hit six of the eight places on that damn list . nobody 's seen the phone . dylan : maybe one of our patrol officers will have better luck . kevin : yeah , maybe . [ sighs ] [ computer beeping ] kevin : hey , the signal ! it 's triangulating ! the guy turned the phone on . dylan : where 's the location ? kevin : uh , give me a minute . the machine 's got to do its thing . dylan : okay , okay . where is it ? kevin : all right , it 's close , it 's close ! chancellor park . dylan : let 's go . kevin : okay . mariah : actually , i 'm glad the bartender said something . the park was definitely the way to go . sharon : okay , so , you just turned the phone on and you , what , dumped it in the grass somewhere ? mariah : no , in the trash bin . the police are gon na find it any second , and when they do , they 're not gon na be able to connect it to patty . they 're gon na think it was some random jerk calling and then he abandoned the phone . problem solved . nightmare 's over . thank god . sharon : it is not over , mariah . mariah : why ? sharon : this just bought me some time . i still have to figure out what to do about all of patty 's demands . mariah : her demands ? stitch : that was a good suggestion , going back to the beginning . [ chuckles ] and how amazing is it that we both felt the same way at the exact same moment ? abby : yeah . pretty amazing . [ cell phone chimes ] stitch : [ sighs ] damn it . i got to get back to the hospital . abby : i thought you were done for the day . stitch : so did i . something came up . this was a good first step . i want to talk more tonight , okay ? abby : of course . bye . stitch : bye , baby . ashley : hi . stitch : hey . ashley : see you later . wow . ben 's in a good mood . and that kiss was certainly a positive sign . abby : yeah , um ... well , we 're gon na work on our problems . work on our marriage in general . ashley : well , that 's a very good thing . abby : it sure is . ashley : then why do n't you seem happy about it ? travis : thanks again for dinner . this was great . victor : you 're very welcome , travis . you put in hard day 's work . you deserve a good dinner . are you ready to go , my sweetheart ? nikki : well , yes , i am . i 'm sure they would like to spend time together . victor : thank you . victoria : yeah . nikki : i 'd like to spend some time with my husband , actually . victor : there we go . victoria : that sounds good , mom . victor : travis . see you tomorrow . travis : yes , you will . victoria : mama . nikki : love you . victoria : i love you , too . victor : bye , my sweetheart . travis : good night . nikki : good to see you . victoria : okay . nikki : bye - bye . victor : good to go ?

travis : um ... i saw ashley today . victoria : and ... ? travis : well , it was a tricky conversation that 's been hanging over my head all day . victoria : oh , i see . travis : yeah . victoria : well , is that why you brought up jabot ? is there some eminent threat against my dad ? travis : no . no , no . it 's not that . victoria : okay , then it was just ashley sticking her nose into our personal business . travis : you 're right , but ... well , she found something out about me . victoria : about you . travis : yeah . i need you to hear this from me , okay ? and i ca n't risk her using this against me in this feud between the families . victoria : yeah . okay . well , just tell me whatever it is , and we 'll face it together . travis : okay . um ... i have n't been completely honest with you . nikki : travis seems to be a good match for victoria . victor : seems to have a lot of good qualities , yeah . nikki : mm - hmm . thank you for agreeing to come to dinner . i know it was a lot for you to get away from work . victor : i 'm glad i did . nikki : and to be truthful , i did n't arrange it just for us . i kind of did it for victoria because she 's had some concerns that maybe you have something up your sleeve about travis . victor : me ? something up my sleeve ? like what ? nikki : maybe hiring travis as a way to get victoria back at newman enterprises . is she right about that ? travis : the reason i left my career behind in new york ... there 's more to the story . victoria : yeah , well , seeing as a i do n't know a whole lot of the details , i 'm sure there is more to it . so go ahead . tell me . travis : um ... i had an affair with my boss ' wife . and when he found out , he fired me , blackballed me all over wall street . no one would touch me . the whole thing was a disaster . and i was forced to take a long look at myself , and i realized i could n't even look in the mirror . i knew i had to make a change . i do n't know how i got caught up in something like that . with a married woman , and ... and her husband was a friend . he was my mentor . and ... victoria : i ca n't even really believe what i 'm hearing . i mean , this does n't sound like you at all . travis : i do n't know . i just -- i was really different back then . victoria : you just decided to tank your whole life and your whole career because you could n't stay away from a married woman . travis : michelle just -- she was n't just any woman . i thought we had a real shot at something . when everything hit the fan , she chose to stay with her husband . victoria : this is the woman that you told me about . the only other woman that you 've ever loved . ashley : you actually went to victor for advice about your marriage ? abby : the irony was n't lost on him , either , but something he said , it really stuck with me . ashley : what ? abby : well , he said to go back to the moment when you realize that you 're meant to be with each other . and when times get tough , you hang on to that moment . ashley : that is shocking . i mean , sorry , but it is a little bit more insight than i thought victor was capable of . abby : well , sometimes i think he surprises himself . ashley : so what happened ? i mean , after you met with ben . something go wrong ? abby : no . when i asked him what his moment was , he did n't hesitate . he knew exactly when it was . he described every detail . and how much it meant to him . and then ... he asked me what my moment was . and i said it was the same . but , mom , it was a lie . i realized i do n't think i have a moment like that with ben . dylan : hey . hey . hold up ! stitch : wait ! what -- i 'm almost there . i 'll follow up with the patient when i arrive . what -- what 's going on ? dylan : hey . sorry . i thought you were somebody else . stitch : yeah , well , it 's a new hat . dylan : i 'll fill you in later , okay ? it sounds like you were in a rush to get to the hospital . i do n't want you to be late for work . stitch : all right . see you later . kevin : i found it ! dylan : do n't touch it ! kevin : i know , i know . you thinking what i 'm thinking ? dylan : somebody wanted us to find this phone . kevin : mm - hmm . sharon : patty wants me to get her out of that mental facility in exchange for keeping my secret that sully is n't really mine . mariah : are you kidding me ? she literally wants you to bust her out ? sharon : no , i mean , she did n't say anything like that . i - i assume that she just wants me to intervene on her behalf and maybe get her released to paul or something . mariah : are you actually gon na try ? sharon : to keep my secret , to keep my baby boy , to keep my husband , i 'll do anything that patty wants . [ next_on ] victoria : you slept with the boss ' wife , you got blackballed . you sleep with the boss ' daughter , maybe it 'll get you back in the game . is that the kind of man that you are ? victor : talking about clean hands , how dirty are your husband 's hands ?

travis : michelle . i was under the impression you two were n't very close . ashley : no , that 's not true . i called her and i told her that i ran into you . travis : oh , just out of the blue , for no reason ? ashley : why is that a big deal ? michelle and i are friends . travis : right . ashley : i told her that you were living in genoa city and that you were working at newman , something that you did n't tell me when we were trapped in the elevator . travis : why would that matter , ashley ? ashley : it matters because you 're involved with my brother 's ex and you 're living with my niece and my nephew , and frankly , i do n't think you 've been completely honest with everybody . travis : i 've been upfront about everything . ashley : really ? travis : yeah . ashley : even the real reason why you left new york ? and ditched your wall street career ? nikki : are you saving this seat for travis , or may i have it ? victoria : no , it 's all yours . he has his nose to the grindstone at the moment . nikki : yes , i know . today 's his first day at newman enterprises . have you heard anything ? victoria : well , when i stopped by earlier , he seemed to be totally in his element . nikki : yeah ? what did you father have to say ? victoria : i think that dad and travis are getting along really well . he even gave travis adam 's old office . nikki : uh - huh . i would think you 'd be a little happier that your father seems to like your new man so much . victoria : mom , look , i want to be . i just feel a little wary . and can you blame me ? i mean , most of my life , anyone that i 've ever been with has never been good enough for dad . nikki : i ca n't deny that . victoria : when it comes to travis and me , i just want to make sure that dad does n't have some other agenda . victor : and , sweetheart , follow up with legal on the rest of the contracts . i want to know where the deal stands , okay ?

victor : how do i -- you 're asking me for advice about marriage ? abby : is that totally weird ? victor : well , you know , i 've been married i do n't know how many times . the more important question is -- why are you asking ? hey , girl with the gloves ! you left your phone . mariah : thanks a bunch . that would have been a pain . kevin : oh , mariah ! what are you doing here ? and why do you look so nervous ? sharon : stonevale . yeah . now that you mention it , i think that is the facility that patty 's staying in . dylan : and does n't it seem strange that the guy 's phone that we 're looking for passed through there ?

i 'm -- i 'm not nervous . you 're nervous . kevin : what are you talking about ? mariah : i -- i just do n't know [ chuckles ] where you would get that from . kevin : oh , from the way your eyes keep darting around and the tiny beads of sweat that are breaking out on your forehead . mariah : um ... you know what ? you caught me . i 'm nervous . i was meeting a guy here . kevin : a date ? at a dump like this ? nice ! mariah : yeah . drinks . a beer . i do have a life of my own , you know . what about you ? what are you doing here ? this is n't exactly your scene . kevin : uh , i was trying to track down that stolen cell phone sharon 's stalker is using . mariah : since when are you about shoe leather and not your computer ? kevin : well , this is personal for me . i did n't want to just stay in the office and bang on my keyboard , you know ? mariah : so , this bar was one of the locations that the phone might have been ? kevin : that 's right . mariah : and the cops are really gon na check every single one of the locations on the list . kevin : it 's what cops do . how else are we gon na find this creep who 's been stalking your mom ? of course , if he would just turn the phone on , i could triangulate the location , but i promise you , we 're not gon na stop until we find this guy . mariah : i appreciate that . kevin : you 're welcome . mariah : i 'll talk to you later . kevin : wait , wait , wait . what about your date ? mariah : you know , turns out , i came here for nothing , so i 'm just gon na go home . kevin : he did n't show up ? who is this guy ? anyone i know ? mariah : nope . i met him online , and yes , he stood me up . are you happy ? kevin : ah - ta - ta . what 's with the attitude ? mariah : i 'm sorry . um ... am i supposed to be full of happiness and sunshine because i got stood up in the middle of the day at a place like this ? i 'm kind of mad at the world right now , i apologize . i 'll talk to you later . kevin : later . excuse me . hi . uh , do you know vince milani , the plumber ? sure . he was here a few weeks ago . why are you asking ? kevin : he lost his cell phone , and it 's important that we find it . sorry . i have n't seen it . kevin : do you know if anyone has left a cell phone here recently ? uh , the gal you were just talking to almost left hers , but i have n't seen any others . kevin : thanks . sharon : i did n't want to make a big deal out of this ... but i just ca n't help it . a stalker -- it 's not something that you just ignore . dylan : that 's for sure . sharon : um , you know , what if -- what if he comes here sometime ? when i 'm here alone . or when i 'm with the kids ? i do n't know what he wants with me , dylan . dylan : i 'm gon na put an end to this as soon as possible . sharon : i just need to know that we 're gon na be okay . abby : things with ben and i , they 're not where they should be . thank you . victor : well ... i guess losing the baby was tough , you know ? and then the problems with his boy . i mean , these are hard issues to deal with . abby : yeah , but i was hoping we 'd be in a better place by now . victor : and you 're asking me , your father -- who 's been married many times -- for advice ? abby : you and nikki have been together for decades now . married , divorced , married again . you always find your way back to each other , even when it seems impossible . victor : i guess we do , do n't we ? abby : so how do you do it ? how do you get through the hard stuff ? victor : [ laughing ] oh . well ... we fight a lot . abby : i 'm serious . victor : so am i . listen . if you no longer have fights in a marriage , in a relationship , it means there 's no longer any conflict . that means , you know , things are getting too comfortable . kind of , you know , boring , maybe , at times . humdrum . very often , that kind of , you know , status quo in a marriage covers up a lot of deep problems . the question you have to ask yourself -- is it worthwhile delving into those problems , trying to solve them , to save your marriage ? if you can answer that , then you know what to do . nikki : well , what exactly do you think your father 's going to do ? drive a wedge between you and travis ? victoria : no , just the opposite , actually . i think that maybe it 's part of some master plan of his to lure me back to newman . and when i told him that , he flat - out denied it , which completely contradicts anything that he 's ever said about his children working alongside of him . nikki : so you think he 's giving you mixed messages . victoria : do n't you , mom ? look , i 'm not gon na be jumping up and down and clapping like the happiest seal in the zoo that dad has hired my new boyfriend . nikki : well , i can understand why you 'd be skeptical . but humor me for just a minute , will you ? i 'd like to present a very different scenario . victoria : uh - huh . one that gives dad the benefit of the doubt . nikki : actually , no . it gives travis the benefit of the doubt . now , think of all the things you 've told me about him . that he 's honest , he 's patient , he 's kind , he 's all these wonderful things , and now that i have gotten to know him , i would like to add charming and likable to that listen . ah , ah ! just a minute . do you agree with my assessment ? victoria : is this a trap , mom ? nikki : no . i want you to consider how a guy like travis would appear to a possible employer . i mean , is n't it possible that your father could have met him and thought , `` wow , look at this bright young guy who 's not afraid to say what he thinks and he could be an excellent addition to my team ? `` you have to admit that that is a possibility . and if your father is willing to extend that kind of opportunity to a man who makes his daughter happy , is n't that just icing on the cake ? victoria : you make a very compelling case . nikki : yeah , but you 're still ... victoria : no . no buts . i wish it could be as simple as that . and i would really like to believe every word that 's coming out of your mouth . nikki : but you 're still a skeptic . victoria : well , i mean , this camaraderie between them is just so damn sudden . and given dad 's history , i think i would be a little naive if i did n't have some questions . travis : i did tell the truth . the longer i worked on wall street , the less i liked the person i was becoming . ashley : a person that sleeps with the boss ' wife ? travis : so michelle told you . ashley : she sure did . she also told me that the minute her husband found out , he fired you , blackballed you so you could n't find work anywhere in town . so it seems to me that you did n't leave big business as much as you were forced out of it . so then i started wondering if maybe you found your way back in using victoria . nikki : well , your father has put you through the wringer for years , so if it takes you some time to see that he 's coming from a good place with travis , it 's totally understandable . victoria : hmm . reverse psychology . works every time , does n't it ? nikki : mm . victoria : look , mom . i 'm sorry . i know you did n't ask to sit down here with me so i can give you an earful about dad . nikki : oh , no . i 'm glad . i 'm glad you told me . if you ca n't talk to your mother , who can you talk to ? victoria : that 's true . nikki : i 'll tell you a secret . i was a little surprised myself . victoria : that dad accepted travis so quickly ? nikki : that it was ... i 'm not sure how to put it . victoria : weird ? nikki : well ... kind of . it was very fast . i think that in order to know if he 's really sincere , you 're just gon na have to spend some time with him . victoria : well , i could , um , bug the office , i guess , because i ca n't exactly lurk around newman enterprises and observe the two of them in their natural habitat , can i ? nikki : no , but i have a better idea that 's a much more relaxed , social evening . victoria : ooh . what did you have in mind ? nikki : just a fabulous dinner out . victoria : oh . yeah . dad already suggested that . nikki : he did ? great . we 'll do it tonight . victoria : oh . [ chuckles ] abby : it 's not like i have n't asked myself these questions before . `` is our marriage worth fighting for , or is it already too far gone ? `` victor : well , have you concluded ? abby : i do n't know . [ sighs ] i was hoping that you 'd give me some better advice other than `` decide whether or not i want him `` and `` drink some water . `` victor : sweetheart . i could tell you all kinds of wonderful stories that you read in romance novels , you know , that love conquers all . that is n't real . abby : no , it is n't . victor : you know , when you fall in love with someone , you think that 's the only person you want to be with . that 's someone you ca n't be without for the rest of your life . abby : and then you get married and it 's gone ? victor : well , now , that 's the other extreme . i think the truth is somewhere in between . you know what one forgets very often is what one was attracted to in the other person . remember that . remind yourself of why you married him in the first place . okay ? and hold on to that . you have to learn to accept each other for who you are . weaknesses and all . i mean , i can assure you that many a night nikki sits at home and wonders where the hell i am . i 'm here in my office working . that 's a priority for me sometimes . abby : yeah . [ cell phone rings ] victor : oh , speak of the devil . yes ? nikki : hey . listen , i know you 're swamped , but i was hoping you could break away for a little bit . victor : what for , darling ? nikki : i was thinking that we could have an early dinner with victoria and travis . it 's important to me that we spend time together . victor : okay , why do n't we do that ? okay ? i agree . nikki : great . we 'll see you at top of the tower . victor : i 'll see you there , and i love you . goodbye . see ? even i know how to compromise . that 's another key to a successful marriage , you know . knowing when to compromise . abby : yeah . well , you have given me a lot to think about . so if you 're gon na head out , i will take off , too . victor : but ... let me tell you this . try your hardest to make things work out . but if they do n't ... if you feel that your problems are insurmountable , then you got to look out for yourself . abby : yeah . thank you . victor : careful , sweetheart . things always work out in the end , okay ? nikki : one down , one to go . victoria : okay , well , i hope that travis is up to spending even more time with dad now that he 's put a full day in with him . nikki : i have a feeling he 'll be just fine with it . travis : okay , for the last time with this , i did n't use victoria to get into newman , all right ? i would n't use her for anything . ashley : well , history might suggest otherwise . travis : are you saying that i used michelle for business reasons ? is that what you 're saying right now ? you 're wrong . ashley : it was just a coincidence ? seriously ? you slept with the boss ' wife , and now you 're sleeping with the boss ' daughter ? travis : okay , for your information , victor approached me . the life i intend to build out here is gon na be a lot different than the one i had back east , okay ? i learned my lessons . i know how lucky i am to have a chance to start over with victoria , so whatever game it is that you 're trying to play right now ... ashley : i do n't play games , travis . i was sincerely concerned about your motives . travis : of course you were . so what 's the plan now , ashley ? hmm ? you 're just gon na hold this over my head , threaten to tell victoria if i do n't , what , if i do n't spy on victor for you ? ashley : no , never crossed my mind . travis : yeah , that 's not a bad idea though , right ? everybody in this town knows about the famous newman - abbott war . well , i do n't want any part of it , okay ? ashley : well , if you 're working for victor newman , you might not have a choice . dylan : all right . i made a little comfort food . mac and cheese . sharon : oh . nice . cassie 's favorite recipe ? dylan : that 's right . one of the few things besides toast i do a decent job making . sharon : [ chuckles ] well , that 's not true . your blts are legendary . dylan : well , yeah ! toast ! [ chuckling ] there you go . sharon : you know , this is really nice of you -- thank you -- but you did n't have to go to the trouble . dylan : oh , it 's no problem at all . i mean , we had to eat at some point . i wanted to do something to make you feel better . all right , you get to taste it and test it out for me . sharon : mmm ! dylan : come on ! sharon : mm - hmm . dylan : right ? sharon : mm - hmm . that 's really good . dylan : i should open a restaurant -- comfort food . 10 different versions of mac and cheese . sharon : and toast ! dylan : [ laughing ] yeah . and toast . sharon : and i think that with every dessert , you should get a whole can of whipped cream . dylan : i like that idea . sharon : you know , i 've -- i did n't mean to worry you earlier . i was just a little bit jittery . and before you ask , no i have not gone off my meds . i actually feel a lot better having gotten this stress off my chest . dylan : i give you my word that i 'm gon na find this creep and everything 's gon na be okay . i am not gon na let anything happen to you or mariah or faith or sully , and i 'm gon na do whatever it takes to protect my family , and you can count on that . [ patty humming ] stitch : after the day i 've had , a glass of wine 's gon na taste real good . abby : yeah , i know what you mean . nikki : oh , i wonder what the specials are tonight . victor : where ? where do you see them ? oh , right there . stitch : you want to go say hi ? abby : not really . i was hoping that tonight would just be about the two of us . stitch : i was hoping you 'd say that . you 've been on my mind all day . abby : oh ? stitch : i 've been thinking about the conversation we had -- what we have to do to get things back to the way they used to be . i was n't sure where to start , and then i realized , hey , doctor mode -- triage . that 's what we have to do now , abby . we have to identify and treat the most pressing problems first . abby : ben , wait . i really do n't think that 's gon na work . nikki : oh , look . victor : what ? nikki : the fish special is trout almondine . victor : oh , yeah . victoria : uh , guys , ben and abby are at the bar . maybe we should ask them to join us for dinner . victor : no , sweetheart . i think it 's important for abby to spend some time with her very busy husband . victoria : oh . nikki : well , i 'm just glad that we all had a chance to get together . travis : yeah , thanks for inviting us . nikki : i just thought that your first day at newman enterprises was an occasion to be celebrated . victor : as a matter of fact , it is . why do n't we have a toast to our newest executive ? victoria : that 's a good idea . nikki : hear , hear . victor : travis . victoria : cheers . oh , i dropped my napkin . travis : i got it . victoria : are you okay ? travis : yeah , everything 's fine . victoria : okay . nikki : so , how did it go ? your first day . was it a success ? travis : well , i think if i say so myself , it was , yeah . victor : in fact , it was a great success . i think travis will do very well in our company . victoria : wow , that 's very high praise . i do n't think i 've ever heard you talk about a new hire in that way . victor : it 's unprecedented but i mean it . now , i hope , my sweetheart , that you will be doing very well at brash & sassy ! nikki : so , what areas will you be concentrating on at the company ? travis : well , i do n't have a single focus . right now , i 'm learning about the company as a whole and all the interconnected parts . i think we should discuss how we 're gon na protect the company from external threats , specifically from jabot . victor : well , you know , i 'm not worried about that . jack abbott will not pose a threat . nothing we ca n't deal with . travis : i do n't think it 's that cut - and - dry . the situation may be less tense than in the past , but it 's still volatile . i wo n't be underestimating them . victor : all right . then i suggest you deal with it . how 's that ? travis : yes , sir . victor : all right . sharon : mm - hmm . mariah : hey . dylan : hey yourself . hey , there 's some mac and cheese in the kitchen . help yourself . mariah : thanks . i 'm good . any more news about that pervy caller ? dylan : um , i wish i could say yes . but now that you 're home with sharon to keep her company , i should head back to the station . mariah : yeah . dylan : you gon na be okay ? sharon : yeah , we 'll be fine . i feel a lot of comfort just knowing you 're doing everything you can to stop this . dylan : okay . i 'll see you later . [ door closes ] sharon : were you able to dump that phone ? mariah : not only did i dump the phone , i made sure that it would be found . and now nobody 's ever gon na know the truth about what happened . victor : tomorrow , i shall introduce you to the senior vps of our tech division . travis : bradshaw , mobley , and carruthers . or is she still on maternity leave ? victor : you did your homework , did n't you ? she 'll be back next week . nikki : so , travis , tell us a little bit more about yourself . i feel like we 've barely scratched the surface . travis : oh , what would you like to know ? nikki : oh , i do n't know . tell us about your family , where you 're from , what it was like growing up . victoria : but you can feel free to give the condensed version , of course . travis : [ chuckles ] well , let 's see . i came from a working - class family . victor : what 'd your father do , travis ? travis : he sold boats . victor : oh , yeah ? private enterprise . i admire that . travis : well , he did n't always work for himself . sometimes , though . victor : hmm . victoria : is that why you love to sail so much ? travis : good guess . victoria : [ chuckles ] nikki : did your mother work outside the home ? travis : part - time only . she was an elementary school teacher . victor : so , how did you get into finance ? travis : well , my dad taught me bookkeeping , and i 'd come back from school breaks and i 'd work for him , and that 's when i realized i was pretty good at numbers . victor : huh . travis : yeah . so i got a job and put myself through school . i got started on wall street . did okay for a while . victor : travis is being very modest right now . he rose through the ranks of hazelton and crestwood in no time at all . nikki : really ? what did you do there ? travis : i was a trader . energy stocks mostly . nikki : mm . travis : yeah . victoria : yeah , but then he left it all behind . nikki : now , why would you do that ? travis : well , you know , the world was just really taking a toll on me . there 's no such thing as balance or even having a life , so eventually , i just lost my taste for it . victor : well , now , you can have it all back , travis . the sky 's the limit . stitch : why wo n't trying to fix things work ? abby : it 's your whole approach . stitch : meaning ? abby : meaning at the hospital , you have to put your emotions on hold . you have to be scientific and analytical , but ... ben , this is us . we have to be able to talk about our feelings . we have to let all the walls down . we have to be real . stitch : i see your point . sure . abby : i 'm glad . stitch : so , where do we start ? abby : we could start with something positive . we can start at the beginning . that moment we realized we were meant to be with each other . do you remember ? stitch : well , yeah , that 's easy . you know , i never told you this , but it happened a long time before i ever admitted i was in love with you . i was acting as your bodyguard . we were staying at the club together , and there was this one morning , i woke up before you did , and i just -- i watched you sleeping . it was like this wave of feeling hit me so hard , it took my breath away . then , of course , you woke up and teased me about hovering , and i ... i told you i wanted to stay close , i wanted to look out for you . make you feel safe . make you happy . you gave me the most beautiful smile , the most incredible kiss . so , when was the moment you knew ? abby : it was the same for me . kevin : i hit six of the eight places on that damn list . nobody 's seen the phone . dylan : maybe one of our patrol officers will have better luck . kevin : yeah , maybe . [ sighs ] [ computer beeping ] kevin : hey , the signal ! it 's triangulating ! the guy turned the phone on . dylan : where 's the location ? kevin : uh , give me a minute . the machine 's got to do its thing . dylan : okay , okay . where is it ? kevin : all right , it 's close , it 's close ! chancellor park . dylan : let 's go . kevin : okay . mariah : actually , i 'm glad the bartender said something . the park was definitely the way to go . sharon : okay , so , you just turned the phone on and you , what , dumped it in the grass somewhere ? mariah : no , in the trash bin . the police are gon na find it any second , and when they do , they 're not gon na be able to connect it to patty . they 're gon na think it was some random jerk calling and then he abandoned the phone . problem solved . nightmare 's over . thank god . sharon : it is not over , mariah . mariah : why ? sharon : this just bought me some time . i still have to figure out what to do about all of patty 's demands . mariah : her demands ? stitch : that was a good suggestion , going back to the beginning . [ chuckles ] and how amazing is it that we both felt the same way at the exact same moment ? abby : yeah . pretty amazing . [ cell phone chimes ] stitch : [ sighs ] damn it . i got to get back to the hospital . abby : i thought you were done for the day . stitch : so did i . something came up . this was a good first step . i want to talk more tonight , okay ? abby : of course . bye . stitch : bye , baby . ashley : hi . stitch : hey . ashley : see you later . wow . ben 's in a good mood . and that kiss was certainly a positive sign . abby : yeah , um ... well , we 're gon na work on our problems . work on our marriage in general . ashley : well , that 's a very good thing . abby : it sure is . ashley : then why do n't you seem happy about it ? travis : thanks again for dinner . this was great . victor : you 're very welcome , travis . you put in hard day 's work . you deserve a good dinner . are you ready to go , my sweetheart ? nikki : well , yes , i am . i 'm sure they would like to spend time together . victor : thank you . victoria : yeah . nikki : i 'd like to spend some time with my husband , actually . victor : there we go . victoria : that sounds good , mom . victor : travis . see you tomorrow . travis : yes , you will . victoria : mama . nikki : love you . victoria : i love you , too . victor : bye , my sweetheart . travis : good night . nikki : good to see you . victoria : okay . nikki : bye - bye . victor : good to go ? victoria : thanks . travis : that was nice . victoria : yeah , well ... you say that . but i can tell something 's bothering you . travis : no , i 'm just tired , you know ? victoria : no , you 're not just tired . i know something 's wrong . would you please just tell me what it is ? travis : um ... i saw ashley today . victoria : and ... ? travis : well , it was a tricky conversation that 's been hanging over my head all day . victoria : oh , i see . travis : yeah . victoria : well , is that why you brought up jabot ? is there some eminent threat against my dad ? travis : no . no , no . it 's not that . victoria : okay , then it was just ashley sticking her nose into our personal business . travis : you 're right , but ... well , she found something out about me . victoria : about you . travis : yeah . i need you to hear this from me , okay ? and i ca n't risk her using this against me in this feud between the families . victoria : yeah . okay . well , just tell me whatever it is , and we 'll face it together . travis : okay . um ... i have n't been completely honest with you . nikki : travis seems to be a good match for victoria . victor : seems to have a lot of good qualities , yeah . nikki : mm - hmm . thank you for agreeing to come to dinner . i know it was a lot for you to get away from work . victor : i 'm glad i did . nikki : and to be truthful , i did n't arrange it just for us . i kind of did it for victoria because she 's had some concerns that maybe you have something up your sleeve about travis . victor : me ? something up my sleeve ? like what ? nikki : maybe hiring travis as a way to get victoria back at newman enterprises . is she right about that ? travis : the reason i left my career behind in new york ... there 's more to the story . victoria : yeah , well , seeing as a i do n't know a whole lot of the details , i 'm sure there is more to it . so go ahead . tell me . travis : um ... i had an affair with my boss ' wife . and when he found out , he fired me , blackballed me all over wall street . no one would touch me . the whole thing was a disaster . and i was forced to take a long look at myself , and i realized i could n't even look in the mirror . i knew i had to make a change . i do n't know how i got caught up in something like that . with a married woman , and ... and her husband was a friend . he was my mentor . and ... victoria : i ca n't even really believe what i 'm hearing . i mean , this does n't sound like you at all . travis : i do n't know . i just -- i was really different back then . victoria : you just decided to tank your whole life and your whole career because you could n't stay away from a married woman . travis : michelle just -- she was n't just any woman . i thought we had a real shot at something . when everything hit the fan , she chose to stay with her husband . victoria : this is the woman that you told me about . the only other woman that you 've ever loved . ashley : you actually went to victor for advice about your marriage ? abby : the irony was n't lost on him , either , but something he said , it really stuck with me . ashley : what ? abby : well , he said to go back to the moment when you realize that you 're meant to be with each other . and when times get tough , you hang on to that moment . ashley : that is shocking . i mean , sorry , but it is a little bit more insight than i thought victor was capable of . abby : well , sometimes i think he surprises himself . ashley : so what happened ? i mean , after you met with ben . something go wrong ? abby : no . when i asked him what his moment was , he did n't hesitate . he knew exactly when it was . he described every detail . and how much it meant to him . and then ... he asked me what my moment was . and i said it was the same . but , mom , it was a lie . i realized i do n't think i have a moment like that with ben . dylan : hey . hey . hold up ! stitch : wait ! what -- i 'm almost there . i 'll follow up with the patient when i arrive . what -- what 's going on ? dylan : hey . sorry . i thought you were somebody else . stitch : yeah , well , it 's a new hat . dylan : i 'll fill you in later , okay ? it sounds like you were in a rush to get to the hospital . i do n't want you to be late for work . stitch : all right . see you later . kevin : i found it ! dylan : do n't touch it ! kevin : i know , i know . you thinking what i 'm thinking ? dylan : somebody wanted us to find this phone . kevin : mm - hmm . sharon : patty wants me to get her out of that mental facility in exchange for keeping my secret that sully is n't really mine . mariah : are you kidding me ? she literally wants you to bust her out ? sharon : no , i mean , she did n't say anything like that . i - i assume that she just wants me to intervene on her behalf and maybe get her released to paul or something . mariah : are you actually gon na try ? sharon : to keep my secret , to keep my baby boy , to keep my husband , i 'll do anything that patty wants . [ next_on ] victoria : you slept with the boss ' wife , you got blackballed . you sleep with the boss ' daughter , maybe it 'll get you back in the game . is that the kind of man that you are ? victor : talking about clean hands , how dirty are your husband 's hands ? jack : something i can help you with ? summer : why are you researching newman enterprises ?Summarize.[/INST]travis met ashley in the park and accused her of sending the flowers and signing the name `` michelle `` on the card . ashley revealed that her friend michelle had told her the truth about why travis left ny . travis had slept with michelle , who was his boss 's wife . the boss found out and fired travis and blackballed him , so he was n't able to find another job . ashley was concerned that travis was using victoria in order to get back into the corporate world . travis said he 'd never use victoria . travis suspected that ashley was going to blackmail him into spying on victor , but she said she would n't . mariah tried to ditch patty 's cell phone at the bar , but the bartender noticed and gave the phone back to her . kevin ran into mariah at the bar and asked why she was there . mariah came up with a cover story , then she rushed off . kevin asked the bartender if anyone had lost a phone there recently , and the bartender told him that mariah had almost left hers . dylan noticed that sharon was acting jumpy . he comforted her and said he 'd never let anything happen to her or the kids . abby confided in victor about her marriage and asked him for advice on making a relationship work . he told her to remember why she fell in love with ben and hold onto that . victor also advised her to think about whether or not the marriage could be fixed . mariah dropped the phone at the park and turned it on so the police would find it and assume the stalker dumped it . sharon told mariah that patty wanted sharon to help her get out of stonevale . sharon did n't want to lose sully and dylan , so she said she would to do anything patty wanted . at stonevale , patty painted a picture of herself , and a pet cat , outside enjoying the sun .</s> | 18,240 |

quinn : `` stay away from steffy `` ? you realize i 'm married to her grandfather and we work at the same company . liam : at the same company . yeah , i know . and you 'll nod and smile politely in the hallway and you 'll say `` happy this or that holiday `` or whatever when required . but that 's it . i 'm not gon na let you manipulate your way back into steffy 's life . quinn : [ scoffs ] this is a tremendous opportunity for steffy . you should be so proud of her . liam : i am proud of steffy . i 'm very proud of her . and she absolutely deserves to be c.e.o . but having you attached to the offer is a huge red flag that i see even if she does n't . quinn : oh , so that 's why you 're here puffing up your chest , making all these threats . she 's not listening to all your dire warnings , is she ? [ scoffs ] she 's planning on taking the job . ridge : you ca n't trust quinn . she 's up to something . steffy : she always is . but if i 'm one step ahead of her , i 'll figure this all out . ridge : how you gon na do that ? steffy : i know what quinn is thinking , and so do you . she wants me back with wyatt , but she does n't get to decide who i spend the rest of my life with . i do . my eyes are wide open . trust me . ridge : i just do n't know why you want to do anything to do with that woman . steffy : because like it or not , she 's part of the equation . she 's married to granddad , and he -- he trusts her with his life . and he trusts me running this company . i mean , he really -- he really believes in me . i heard his praises , and it -- it helps me believe in myself . [ knock on door ] eric : hello , neighbor . what took you so long ? it 's been a full five minutes since you texted saying you were coming over . katie : uh , well , you have a very long driveway . eric : yes , i do . katie : this is for you . eric : what is this ? katie : a little motivation . eric : oh , katie , these are beautiful . thank you . katie : i 'm sure you 're drowning in sketching supplies , but i thought , you know , what the heck . you 're recovering well . let 's get you drawing again . i 'm sure you 're eager to go back to work , start designing , running the company . eric : designing -- maybe . running the company -- i 'm not so sure . and i wo n't be if steffy accepts my offer . katie : what offer ? eric : to take over as c.e.o . katie : ah . steffy as c.e.o . , not ridge ? eric : ridge and i have some trust issues to work on . katie : i would think that that would apply to steffy , as well . eric : steffy was just following along in her father 's footsteps there . she thought she was protecting me . but ridge -- ridge was a betrayal . besides , steffy has something that her father does n't , and that 's my wife 's blessing . offering her the c.e.o . job was quinn 's idea . katie : [ sighs ] ridge : hey . you should always believe in yourself . granddad is right to trust you with the company . look at you -- you 're smart , you 're fierce , you 're compassionate , which maybe something that i was lacking . but do n't let anyone talk you into something you 're not ready for . steffy : i think i 'm ready . ridge : okay , well , maybe you are . but do n't forget where this idea came from . this came from quinn . and i do n't think she wants you to do this because she thinks you deserve it . quinn : steffy 's planning on taking the job , is n't she ? liam : oh , she 'll be c.e.o . someday when you 're no longer a part of the company . quinn : she does n't want to be c.e.o . someday . she wants to be c.e.o . now . why would n't she ? liam : i think it 's pretty obvious , do n't you ? you . quinn : you tried to talk her out of it , and that did n't work , and that 's why you 're here in my kitchen bullying me . liam : [ chuckles ] bullying you ? okay . well , if that 's what you want to call protecting steffy , that 's fine . quinn : you mean interfering with her happiness . liam : no , there is no happiness when it comes to you . this is stress , looking over her shoulder all the time , wondering when and how you 're gon na screw her over next . quinn : i understand how you can say that about the woman that i used to be . liam : oh , do n't do -- do n't do that . do n't -- do n't pull the `` i 've changed `` card . this ridiculous job offer is a perfect example of how you have n't . steffy : do you know of a better idea to get quinn out of the driver 's seat ? yeah , i 'm gon na have to work with her , but not as much . she 'll be focused on the jewelry line and doting on granddad . ridge : ugh . steffy : i know , i know . but it 's better than what we have now . it 's the first thing we can do to get quinn entirely out of our lives . first we 'll get her out of the c.e.o . chair . we do n't want her in it when granddad comes back , when he sees her true colors . ridge : i 'm losing confidence that that 's ever gon na happen . steffy : it will . honestly , i ca n't picture granddad spending his entire life with quinn . he 's gon na catch on . and when he does , i 'm gon na be right beside him to push her out . katie : steffy 's an interesting choice . she 's very driven . she 'll be an effective leader . i think this could be very successful for forrester . eric : for the company and for the family , too . katie : you 're optimistic . eric : well , i 'm realistic . i think there 's gon na be a lot of , um , lot of stuff to muddle through . katie : sure . rick and ridge drama . but at least you 're going into it with a smile . eric : yes , i am . well , i do n't know how else i can do it , not really . and what about you ? are you all unpacked ? what 's going on ? katie : yeah , mostly . eric : well , something 's been keeping you very busy , 'cause when you moved in , i thought i was gon na have you popping in all the time . katie : well , i do n't want to be that annoying neighbor . i mean , you 're trying to have a quiet evening , and i 'm knocking on the door . eric : are you kidding me ? you 're always welcome . katie : well , thank you for saying that . seriously , though , i mean , you can just kick me out of here if i ever overstay my welcome . eric : not possible . katie : [ chuckles ] well , i 'm not sure your wife would agree . liam : you 're using steffy . it 's obvious . i mean , dangling the title of c.e.o . in front of her face is proof that you have n't changed at all . quinn : [ scoffs ] why ? because i want steffy to believe that i 'm not the monster everybody makes me out to be , that i 'm really good for her grandfather , that i want to bring the -- the family together ? that -- that 's my big manipulation ? oh ! liam , so scary . what is so wrong with me wanting to unify this family ? liam : [ chuckles ] you 're not trying to unify the family . you 're trying to solidify your place in it -- and wyatt 's . quinn : you are so worried that steffy is gon na go back to wyatt . liam : no , no . i 'm worried that you 're gon na spend the rest of our lives trying to make that happen . quinn : because of a job offer ? being a little paranoid , are n't you ? liam : oh , the job . the job offer is just the first step in whatever plan you 've got percolating in your head . okay , so steffy takes the job . then what ? then what ? how long before i 'm pushed off a bridge or locked in a cabin somewhere ? quinn : okay , look , i have made some very questionable decisions in my life . liam : `` questionable decisions `` ? ! quinn : i have made some very bad decisions in my life ! liam : thank you very much ! quinn : and i have apologized for them ! liam : apologizing does not make people forget what you do or how you operate ! quinn : so what have i done lately , huh ? what horrible things have i done since i have been with eric ? liam : quinn , nobody is buying that eric changed you . quinn : give me one example of the old quinn . liam : [ sighs ] quinn : you ca n't . liam : [ chuckles ] because part of the problem is nobody knows what you 're up to until it 's too late ! quinn : i guess we 'll just have to wait and see . liam : no , i 'm not taking that risk . i 'm sorry . quinn : eric really has changed me . liam : so did i ... when you kidnapped me , remember ?

[ scene_break ] judge robinson : please sit down , mr. lavery . ryan : i apologize for the outburst , your honor , i really do , ok , but with all due respect , i happen to know annie lavery better than anybody else in this courtroom , ok ? and six months for what she 's done is completely unacceptable . adam : your honor , my fiancée should n't have to put up with this verbal abuse from her vindictive ex - husband . ryan : i am here to make sure justice is served . adam : no . you 're here to slander annie and sway the court 's decision . jesse : your honor , i 'd be happy to escort mr. lavery out of the building . ryan : this ruling affects my daughter just as much as it does annie , your honor , and i believe that i have the right to make a statement on her behalf . ada pierce : mr. lavery is on my witness list . i can call him now . judge robinson : that wo n't be necessary . go ahead , mr. lavery . ryan : thank you , your honor . i mean , you look at annie , and what do you see ? you see a kind face , and you see a warm smile , and you figure the woman has got it all together , but she does n't , your honor . it 's an act , and i know that because i was married to her , and i can see past the facade to the woman that she really is , and that woman is hiding an enormous amount of pain , your honor , pain that is a result of a life spent in constant fear , constant fear from a brother that used to terrorize her and her first husband that ended up being a pedophile and a psychiatrist that tried to kill her . you know all this , and these people , they left scars in her so deep that i honestly did not believe that she could ever recover , and yet , with determination and the courage that she has , she 's finally got to a place where she can just put all that pain behind her , and i realize that she 's got some really serious issues to work through . i understand that , but i guess i 'm just asking you if you would allow her to work on those things in a safe , supportive environment . do n't send her to a place where she 's just gon na get so scared and so discouraged that she 's gon na shut down again . i 'm asking you to make the right decision here , your honor , for my little girl , you know ? she really needs her mom . jesse : is he high ? i mean , i thought he wanted annie out of emma 's life . zach : uh - huh , but not for six months . he wants her to go down for murder , something she ca n't plead her way out of . judge robinson : sit . unless anyone else would like to address the court , i 'm ready to make my ruling . ms. lavery , i do n't take any decisions lightly , especially those that involve a child . it is true you have made tremendous progress in your recovery . however , there is still a great deal of work to be done . therefore , after taking everything into careful consideration , i 'm sentencing you to six months of outpatient therapy . you must remain in pine valley during that time , but i am removing you from monitored custody on your own recognizance . this court is adjourned . annie : [ laughs ] adam : thank you , judge . annie : thank you .

[ sighs ] you have babies on the brain . hope and wyatt are starting their little family . you were a witness to will almost choking to death . brooke : i was , and you were there , and katie was there , and you were a family together -- bill : and we will always be there for will -- just not as a couple . brooke : look , i 've had some time to -- to think about this . i 've been thinking about you and about me , and -- and i realize that we 're the same . we both love adventure . we love to live life to the fullest , and there 's nothing wrong with that . really , there is n't . it 's just sometimes we need to slow down , and we need to think , and we need to take a deep breath . that 's why i am going to italy alone . i have one shot in this life ... and this time , i have to get it right . quinn : wow . your hormones must be working overtime , are n't they ? hope : excuse me ? quinn : well , i mean , obviously , you 're not yourself , speaking to me this way . hope : i am just trying to set some very clear boundaries . quinn : well , like it or not , we 're family , and this baby just reinforces that . you ca n't exclude me . wyatt would never allow it . hope : well , wyatt has a wife now -- a wife and a baby that you carefully orchestrated for him to have , so you can not be shocked or upset that the baby and i come first . we are his top priority -- not you . do you know where he is right now ? he went to tell you exactly what i 'm telling you -- you need to stay away . john : is that true ? [ both chuckle ] eric : stop it . stop it . aly : well , he 's making liam laugh . ivy : yeah , well , my dad does have that effect on people . aly : at least he 's keeping liam 's mind off hope . ivy : yeah . aly : yeah . oliver : uh , do you want to get a beer ? liam : i 'm gon na need one after that story . john : [ chuckles ] seems like a good kid . eric : he is a good kid . he really is . so , john , how long are you staying ? john : uh , i 'm not sure . i do n't like to be gone away too long from ivy 's mom . eric : mm - hmm . well , i 'm very glad you finally found a wife you could stick with . john : yes , yes . hey , listen , um , this foxy sister - in - law of yours -- she gets that i 'm married , right ? seems to be flirting with me . eric : [ chuckles ] ivy : hello . john : how 's my girl fitting in ? eric : oh , she 's fitting in like she was born into the business . and it goes way beyond talent . it really does . you have a drive and determination . it 's wonderful . and you 're poised . you do the forrester name proud . ivy : oh . well , thanks . that means , uh -- it means that i 'm now very embarrassed . [ both chuckle ] eric : well , do n't be . it 's all true . it 's a privilege to have your daughter staying here with us . in fact , having ivy and aly living with me -- it 's like a new generation of forresters here . it makes this house a home again . quinn : you joined my family , and if anyone is going to be setting the boundaries for this relationship , it 's gon na be me . [ cell phone rings ] hope : w - wow ! we are so done with this conversation . quinn : we are done with the conversation after you apologize ! hope : oh , look , it 's wyatt . i 'm gon na answer . quinn : please do . let him hear how you 're speaking to me . hope : hi , babe . no , do n't wait around the warehouse , actually , because she 's here . yeah , i made our position very clear . quinn : [ scoffs ] `` our `` ? hope : how i feel and that you agree . not very well , but i think i can handle it . okay . i 'll tell her . bye . quinn : putting words in my son 's mouth ? hope : not even a little bit . quinn : yeah , you know what ? he would never cut me out of his life -- never . this is all you , and i am not letting you get away with this . brooke : please know this is n't just about me . i want you to take the time , too , to figure out what 's right for you . bill : i 'm looking at what 's right for me . brooke : your son , his mother . bill : katie and i could never go back to what we were , brooke . brooke : yeah , with me in the picture . bill : [ sighs ] okay . now i get it . brooke : can you just be open to -- bill : do you love me ? brooke : [ sighs ] bill , that has nothing to do with -- bill : do you love me ? brooke : always . but i 'm stealing you from my sister . bill : you 're not stealing me from katie . she 's with ridge . she 's happy . brooke : no , i do n't know that . they 're not married , are they ? and deep down , i keep thinking she wants to be with you . she wants to be a family again . bill : even if that were true , i would have to want it , too , would n't i ? brooke : yeah , well , maybe you do . maybe you just do n't know it . i 'm in the way . bill : [ sighs ] how can you say that ? you 're not in the way . katie and i -- we -- we are over , brooke . we -- we do n't have to fight our feelings anymore . you do n't have to feel guilty . brooke : [ sighs ] bill : you 're right . we have one shot in this life . please do n't run away from it . bill : i understand why recent events are making you start to panic . brooke : [ sighs ] bill : you think that will deserves a chance to grow up with his parents together . family 's important . but what good does it do anyone if i 'm with katie when all that i do is think of you ? brooke : please do n't . bill : will needs to see a true loving relationship . that 's more important than parents sticking it out and just faking it . brooke : you care about katie . bill : yes , as the mother of my child , as a woman that i was married to . but that 's not the kind of example that i want to set for will . look , when he grows up some day , and he chooses the woman he wants to spend his life with , i want him to remember -- i want him to remember that his father pursued the woman of his dreams , and he did n't give up until he got her . so run to italy . run away from us . that 's not gon na make me go back to katie . listen to me . you have spent your life as the dutiful sister -- always being there for katie , fixing all her problems -- but she is a grown - up , brooke , and she makes her own decisions . and you do n't have to give up on your happiness for her . brooke : i 'm not . i 'm not giving up on anything . i 'm gaining something . i 'm gaining insight . i 'm gaining self - respect . if you and katie could just find your way back to each other -- and i 'm not talking about anything forced . i would n't want that for will . i 'm just saying , if you could be the way you were before aspen -- you were an example to all of us . that 's what i want will to see -- his parents loving each other , adoring him , raising him , loving him , embracing each other . now , if there 's just one small chance that -- bill : there is n't . brooke : there 's always a chance . i have to go now . bill : you 're not leaving me . brooke . brooke : [ sighs ] [ door closes ] liam : so , your dad 's a fun guy . happy to meet him . ivy : yeah . [ both chuckle ] liam : i 'm glad i -- i 'm glad i came . ivy : really ? liam : yeah , we ca n't all be so lucky as to have fun parents . ivy : [ chuckles ] you just ca n't help it , can you ? worrying about hope . liam : yeah , sorry . force of habit . ah , it 's just with this baby on the way , it 's not like she 's tied to wyatt alone for the rest of her life . she 's tied to his -- his evil , crazy , psychotic mother . i mean , that -- that 's hope 's mother - in - law . how could i not be worried about that ? quinn turns on people . that 's -- that 's what she does , and -- and if one day , she turns on hope , what then ? quinn : i have been the most important person in wyatt 's life since day one . he 's never going to cut me out of it , especially not now , with a grandchild on the way . hope : that 's exactly why he needs to . he has a child to protect . quinn : from me ? hope : yes ! you tried to kill his brother ! why are you surprised that we do n't want you around our baby ? ! quinn : that was before i got help . hope : oh , and what about pushing ivy into the river ? that was after your little stint in therapy , if you ever actually checked yourself in . quinn : you 're questioning my therapy now ? hope : yes , i am . it could easily be another lie . just add it to everything else you 've done . you 've been manipulating my life since the beginning . quinn : do you regret being with wyatt ? hope : when did i ever say that ? quinn : oh , well , of course you do n't because you have a wonderful husband and a beautiful baby on the way . hope : who i have a responsibility to protect ! quinn : i am this baby 's grandmother ! i have rights ! hope , i love you . you 're my daughter - in - law , but when you speak to me this way , it makes me so angry . hope : okay . quinn : so do n't you try and cut me out of his life or my grandchild 's life because that would be a mistake , missy ... a very big mistake .Summarize.[/INST]quinn tells hope that she ca n't do that . she 's the baby 's grandmother ; she has rights . hope says she can do it . she does not want quinn in her baby 's life . perhaps the child will have quinn 's eyes as she can not control that . what she can control is not having her in the baby 's life and having anything to do with it 's mental wellbeing . and that 's the way it has to be . quinn sees that she is serious . quinn says she sees hope is still upset with her . hope says no , it is more than being upset . quinn says she knows she was a bad , bad girl and hope needs to punish her but this is not the way to do it . someday her child will thank her . hope says no because she is not going to get that opportunity as quinn will have nothing to do with her child . bill repeats what brooke told him . she is leaving today for the milan office . he says not without him . she can go home and pack as they are not coming back until they are married . aly giggles when she tells oliver that pam is excited about the dinner tonight and she thinks it has to do with ivy .. and she is bringing liam . ivy thanks liam for telling her that hope is pregnant . all along she though hope was just crazy . they laugh at going to the party tonight and she wo n't hear of liam not going and leaving her alone with pam and her lemon bars . john is welcomed by eric and then aly who he says he has not seen since she was a little ankle biter . he makes mention of `` the boyfriend `` . then he looks at the portrait of stephanie . eric says she is keeping them in line . john winks and says she always did . ivy comes in and is surprised to see her dad in town . they sit around and reminisce . charlie brings out the medieval turkey legs and aly explains to john about their joisting . john says he used to love that too . ivy sticks a lemon bar in his mouth before he can go on more about his three marriages and her mom . john tells pam she should be sharing these . eric says she does every day . john says he meant with the world . he could set her up in a business . think big , her face on the box of lemon bars . he says a face like hers could sell anything . she eats it up ; charlie not so much . he seems to approve of liam as a good kid . eric says with aly and ivy both there this house is like a home again .</s> | 5,546 |

john : no , no . no . hope as gina : the person you 're about to make love to ... it was me . that 's how it should be . you and i belong together , john . steve as stefano : i 'm simply trying to comfort you , marlena . you know , john was your husband and my best friend , and because of his death , we 're both in terrible pain . it 's only natural that we be here for each other , huh ? hattie as marlena : wait , wait , wait , no , no . stop doing that . god . look , i know we 're both hurting , but -- but kissing , and -- wow . it 's just not the answer . so yeah , depression . rafe : what are you doing here ? kate : stefano promised me that we would rule dimera together , once he got rid of gabi . and i wanted that . i wanted it . but now , because of that , marlena is in danger . oh . wanted to join the hunt for stefano . i 'm sure you 're here for the very same reason . rafe : actually , i 'm here to find princess gina . john : no . you 're wrong . the only woman that i 'm meant to be with is marlena . why is my head so messed up ? hope as gina : it 's all right . i gave you a little something to help you relax . john : [ groans ] hope as gina : do n't fight it . john : doc , where is she ? hope as gina : john , she 's gone . whether you wan na admit it ... i know you had feelings for me . john : [ sighs ] i love -- i only love marlena . hope as gina : i understand . you shared a lot . but when she was in europe working for the institute , you and i ... we shared so many wonderful evenings together . john : [ stammers ] we 're just friends , hope . hope as gina : remember the night that we walked to the square to watch the outdoor screening of `` charade `` ? it was a chilly night , and you wrapped that blanket around us . john : god , what is happening here ? hope as gina : [ laughs ] i think of you as ... my own cary grant . i do . handsome and dashing . that little devilish streak you have . john : we 're just friends . hope as gina : oh , no , john . we 're so much more than that . i 'm gon na prove it to you . i am . kristen : what on earth is this ? chad : well , we 're hoping you can tell us . abigail : have you ever seen that portrait before ? kristen : never . where 'd you find it ? abigail : in the dimera gatehouse . we 're not sure how it got there . chad : does n't look familiar ? kristen : other than it looks like steve johnson , minus the patch . chad : look at the ring . kristen : mm - hmm . chad : and the pose . does it , um , does it resemble any of the portraits that you might remember ? kristen : i mean , i guess it looks like fathers , although i have n't seen it in a while . chad : yeah , it looks exactly like father 's . kristen : mm . but why would someone want to paint a portrait of steve johnson to match stefano dimera ? abigail : that 's exactly what we wan na know . chad : and you 're the only person that 's seen him face - to - face . kristen : so ? chad : so , when you met him here that day , did he happen to look like the guy in this portrait ? hattie as marlena : look , we are friends , steve , but we 're never gon na be more than that . steve as stefano : even just to get each other through this terrible tragedy ? hattie as marlena : kayla 's my friend . i mean , kissing , you -- any of that , that would be wrong . steve as stefano : kayla and i are n't together anymore . she 's -- she 's with justin . i signed the divorce papers months ago . hattie as marlena : yes , but you were still connected . i mean , that would be like a double betrayal of her and of john . steve as stefano : john is gone . hattie as marlena : it does n't mean i 've stopped loving him . it does n't mean that i 've stopped feeling like his wife . steve as stefano : yeah , i 'll miss him for the rest of my life , too . but i know my old friend . he would want someone to take care of his beautiful wife . he would n't want you to suffer alone . hattie as marlena : well , perhaps anybody but steve johnson . steve as stefano : what if i told you i was n't steve johnson ? you know , new customers save over $ 1,000 on average will : do you think clyde 's plan could actually work ? ben : you say what you want about my father , but he knows how to skirt the law . will : so then once you get back to the ozarks , then -- ben : yeah , we 'll be able to disappear . will : have you told ciara ? ben : no , no , no . she ca n't know about that , will . ben : she -- ben , she thinks you 're gon na die . ben : and i hate that more than i can say . will , she 's already risked so much for me . i -- i ca n't involve her in any of this . will : okay . i mean , i understand . ben : only reason why i 'm telling you all this is because i wanted to say good- bye . and thank you . i would n't have been able to survive in here without you . will : are you serious ? i -- i -- ben : no , will , it 's true . my god , out of all the people in this world , i could 've never imagined that you and i would be the ones helping each other through this nightmare . will : i mean , i admit it was unlikely , given our history . ben : will , you did n't have to forgive me , but you did . i 'm always gon na be grateful for that . and for our time spent in here together . will : yeah , me too . i ca n't believe it 's come to this that you got ta escape , otherwise they 're gon na execute you for something you did n't do . i mean , that 's -- that 's so unfair . ben : you 're innocent , too . why do n't you come with us ? kate : oh , my god . okay , so your working theory is -- rafe : is that rolf has turned hope into gina . kristen : so you mean that he brainwashed her . rafe : yeah , he 's done it before . kristen : so why is she here ? why is she in prague ? is she with john ? rafe : we think so . we think she 's also taken marlena with her . kristen : does that mean -- i mean , are you saying that she kidnapped marlena ? rafe : it 's a real possibility , yeah . we 're just hoping they 're still here . kristen : god , well , we have to find them . rafe : well , we 're trying , okay , believe me when i tell you we 're trying . roman 's out there right now looking for them . kate : the whole thing is a mess , rafe . rafe : you know , that 's not even the worst part . i have n't even told you the worst part yet . kate : [ sighs ] please , what ? there 's more ? rafe : hope is not the only person who was infested with a new host . kate : [ sighs ] okay , what the hell does that mean ? rafe : we think that steve johnson has been compromised as well . hattie as marlena : what do you mean you 're not steve johnson ? steve as stefano : you see , marlena ... i am a new man . hattie as marlena : oh . wow , your eye is fixed . steve as stefano : it is . dr. rolf devised it . hattie as marlena : oh . why did n't you say anything earlier ? steve as stefano : 'cause i needed to play the part . hattie as marlena : what part ? steve as stefano : well , up until now , you and almost everyone else in salem thought i was steve johnson . but i 've told you the truth . i no longer have to pretend to be that clown . and i do n't need this ridiculous accoutrement . hattie as marlena : what truth ? what is the truth ? steve as stefano : i am not steve johnson , marlena . dr. rolf put me , my consciousness , my essence into his body . johnson is just a vessel . hattie as marlena : i -- essence ? vessel ? what the hell does all that mean ? no . no , it ca n't be . steve as stefano : it is i , marlena . stefano dimera . and it is so good to be back . hope as gina : it 's just the two of us now , john , trapped in this place who knows if we 'll ever be able to leave . john : hope -- hope -- hope as gina : we can make the most of it , you know . just like we did the last time we were trapped together . remember how we made love ? john : we never slept together . hope as gina : john ... look at me . really ... look at me . do you not remember ? our time together was up -- under the sea . john : under the sea . hope as gina : yes . john : you 're not hope . hope as gina : yes , yes , that is right , i am not . i am princess gina von amberg and my gosh , john i never -- i never stopped loving you . not ever . not ever . [ sobs ] john . john : what have you done to hope ? hope as gina : she 's gone . john : where is she ? hope as gina : oh , she 's in here somewhere , but i have complete control of her body and her thoughts , john . hope is never coming back . john : you took over her body ? hope as gina : yes , yes , that is right . john : you took over her body . hope as gina : i have , thanks to our dear , old friend , dr . wilhelm rolf . john , he 's brought me back to the land of the living . he 's given us another chance at love . john : i knew -- i should 've known , i should 've seen this coming . hope as gina : i have worked so hard to get you back . so hard . now it is our time . you wanted me back then . i know you want me now . i know you do . please , john . kristen : you 're asking me if our father looks like steve johnson . chad : well , it 's just 'cause the last time i saw you , you said that you did n't recognize him . abigail : yeah , and the last time i was here , uncle steve was here , and you were supposedly meeting with stefano . chad : so has our father somehow made himself look like steve johnson ? kristen : well as far as i know , the man that was here was steve johnson . chad : so stefano -- kristen : yeah , still looks like stefano . abigail : so how come you said you did n't recognize him ? kristen : a lot of time has gone by , people tend to be different in our memories than in real life . chad : she 's saying that we 're wrong . abigail : yeah . kristen : i 'm saying that this is completely insane . why would our father wan na morph into steve johnson ? abigail : hm , yeah , we thought it was totally unfathomable also , but then i remembered that you 've been walking around for for months with nicole walker 's mask on , so -- kristen : so ? it would take a lot more than a mask to turn stefano into steve johnson . you see , nicole and i were roughly the same body type , and steve and stefano , not so much . chad : maybe it 's not a mask . kristen : then what ? chad : maybe it is steve johnson 's body . kristen : [ laughs ] what , you think father possessed it ? abigail : different personalities have been known to inhabit a given body . kristen : oh . i 'm aware of your struggles , abigail , but this has nothing to do with me or our father . and you know what , chad ? [ laughs ] if i knew something , i would tell you . chad : see , i do n't think that you would . i do n't think she would . abigail : mm - mm . kristen : so you think i 'm lying right now ? chad : well , i think that you 're definitely hiding something . why do n't you just come clean ? get it off your chest . kate : so steve johnson was compromised how ? rafe : okay , roman and i spoke to anna and tony dimera . they had an odd encounter with steve . kate : odd how ? rafe : well , anna was railing against stefano , and steve started defending him , almost became defensive . kate : yeah , no , that is strange , that 's very strange . steve would never defend stefano . rafe : right . exactly . so if hope is n't really hope , then maybe steve is n't really steve . hattie as marlena : no . stefano ? how is that even possible ? steve as stefano : it was n't easy . you see , though my passion for life has never wavered , my body was breaking down . i was barely holding on . my loyal and brilliant scientist dr . rolf found a way to preserve me . hattie as marlena : you mean preserve your essence . steve as stefano : my essence , my consciousness , whatever you wan na call it . rolf arranged for the kidnap of steve johnson , and then he put my very being inside of him . he gave me a new body and a fresh perspective on life . hattie as marlena : well then , why ? steve as stefano : why ? hattie as marlena : why would you go through all that and then just throw it in the trash ? steve as stefano : i do n't understand . hattie as marlena : you 've got a new face . you 've got a new body . and yet , you 're still committing crimes . i mean , prison is prison . they do n't really care what vessel you 're in . steve as stefano : it was risky , i 'll admit that . i could 've taken over steve 's life and lived as a law - abiding citizen . but that would never satisfy me . my wants are too powerful . hattie as marlena : what is it you want ? steve as stefano : what i 've always wanted . i could never leave this earth without possessing the one thing i have desired since i set foot in salem all these years ago . you , marlena . my queen of the night . i 'm jimmy dean and uh , kristen : well , i 'm not hiding anything , i mean , you can search my room , i 'm an open book . chad : ah , i wish i could believe you . kristen : well ... whatever father was planning , he did n't share with me . chad : see , i think that there 's more to this than you 're saying , so we 're not gon na stop until we figure out what that is . kristen : well , good luck . you 're wasting your time . chad : clearly . you ready ?

steve as stefano : i think you liked being desired and cherished and i think you might 've given into me , had you not been so loyal to my pawn . hattie as marlena : you know , he may have been a pawn to you , but to me , he is a knight in shining armor . steve as stefano : was . your great love is dead . that life is over , but a new life is waiting for you . would it be so terrible to let down your guard ... and see what it is you 've been missing ?

kate : well , because i 've always heard that he was pretty feral before kayla -- rafe : feral ? kate : yeah , feral before kayla tamed him , you know , and now that they 're broken up , maybe he 's reverted back to his original self . rafe : steve 's a good man . kate : okay , maybe he 's a good man , but in my run - ins with him , he 's always been kind of a jerk . rafe : or maybe he was brainwashed like he was once before , thinking he was one of stefano 's mercenaries . what if that 's happened again ? kate : i do n't know , i guess that 's possible . rafe : well , either way , we need to find him , and we need to find john and marlena because they could be in trouble . kate : [ sighs ] god . rafe , look , i can , uh ... i can help with that . rafe : with what ?

we would roam the world as king and queen of the night . we would live a life of luxury , a life of passion . oh , i want you . and i know you want me . just give in . let go . hattie as marlena : oh ! john : get out of my way . hope as gina : and if you were to make it out , you would not get very far , john . the drugs in your system have not fully kicked in yet . john : you ca n't keep me here . hope as gina : oh , but i can . i have . so why not do the noble thing and surrender . john : i told you , fool . i 'm never gon na be with you . hope as gina : you have no idea how much that hurts me . because i am certain that we belong together . i can feel it in my soul , john . john : [ laughs ] hope as gina : if you do not give yourself to me , then -- then i have no choice but to eliminate you . john : no . hope as gina : yes , john ! as much as it will break my heart , i can not let you leave here alive . john : you ca n't stop me . hope as gina : i am sorry , but i can ! as a struggling actor , clyde : ah , almost done . ben : come on , hurry up , pops . clyde : patience . ben : we 're gon na get spotted if we do n't get a move on here . clyde : patience , son . couple more minutes , we will bust out of here and be home free . guard : let 's see how weston is doing . will : no , i -- i -- i said he 's sick . you do n't want him to puke on you or catch a bug or something . guard : code 7 . we have an escape in progress . kristen : i 'm sorry , father . i did my best to protect you . but chad is onto you . and he may not be the only one . rafe : what do you mean steve is stefano ? kate : okay , i get it , it sounds really crazy , it does . but it 's -- it 's true . steve is stefano . and hope is princess gina . and the two of them have been working together for quite some time now . rafe : you knew about this ? kate : okay , it does n't matter , what matters is that i 'm here right now , and i wan na fix it and i wan na make things right . rafe : okay , and how do you plan on doing that ? kate : [ sighs ] steve as stefano : marlena , i have dreamt about this moment for so long ! hattie as marlena : [ laughs ] [ grunting ] steve as stefano : ah . [ grunts ] it 's over . hattie as marlena : mm , mm ! wait a minute ! wait a minute . steve as stefano : why are you stopping ? hattie as marlena : i ca n't do this . steve as stefano : yes , you can . hattie as marlena : no , no . i ca n't do this to him . i ca n't do it to him . steve as stefano : no , forget about john ! he 's gone . it 's just us . hattie as marlena : it 's about roman . steve as stefano : roman ? what does he have to do with this ? hattie as marlena : everything . he 's the one that i love . he 's the man of my dreams . yes , it 's always been roman . always been roman . steve as stefano : you 're not marlena , are you ? are you ? hattie as marlena : oh ! oh ! john : what do you think you 're gon na do with that knife ? hope as gina : actually , it is a dagger ... that once belonged to the countess elizabeth bathory of hungary . john : gina . gina . hope as gina : i am sorry , john , but if i can not have you , then i can not let you live .

[ sweeping orchestral music ] will : i did n't think it 'd be so soon . ben : yeah . well , it 's not like i get to ... pick the date of my own execution . will : yeah , i know . i -- i -- i do n't know , i just thought you had more time , i -- ben : so did i will : i 'm sorry , ben . ben : me too . i 'm out of options , will . i decided to take clyde up on his offer to break us out of prison . john : no , you 're -- you 're not -- marlena , i was just with her , she -- you 're not her . you 're not her . hope as gina : john ... she 's gone . stefano shot her . do you not remember ? john : no , no . no . hope as gina : the person you 're about to make love to ... it was me . that 's how it should be . you and i belong together , john . steve as stefano : i 'm simply trying to comfort you , marlena . you know , john was your husband and my best friend , and because of his death , we 're both in terrible pain . it 's only natural that we be here for each other , huh ? hattie as marlena : wait , wait , wait , no , no . stop doing that . god . look , i know we 're both hurting , but -- but kissing , and -- wow . it 's just not the answer . so yeah , depression . rafe : what are you doing here ? kate : stefano promised me that we would rule dimera together , once he got rid of gabi . and i wanted that . i wanted it . but now , because of that , marlena is in danger . oh . wanted to join the hunt for stefano . i 'm sure you 're here for the very same reason . rafe : actually , i 'm here to find princess gina . john : no . you 're wrong . the only woman that i 'm meant to be with is marlena . why is my head so messed up ? hope as gina : it 's all right . i gave you a little something to help you relax . john : [ groans ] hope as gina : do n't fight it . john : doc , where is she ? hope as gina : john , she 's gone . whether you wan na admit it ... i know you had feelings for me . john : [ sighs ] i love -- i only love marlena . hope as gina : i understand . you shared a lot . but when she was in europe working for the institute , you and i ... we shared so many wonderful evenings together . john : [ stammers ] we 're just friends , hope . hope as gina : remember the night that we walked to the square to watch the outdoor screening of `` charade `` ? it was a chilly night , and you wrapped that blanket around us . john : god , what is happening here ? hope as gina : [ laughs ] i think of you as ... my own cary grant . i do . handsome and dashing . that little devilish streak you have . john : we 're just friends . hope as gina : oh , no , john . we 're so much more than that . i 'm gon na prove it to you . i am . kristen : what on earth is this ? chad : well , we 're hoping you can tell us . abigail : have you ever seen that portrait before ? kristen : never . where 'd you find it ? abigail : in the dimera gatehouse . we 're not sure how it got there . chad : does n't look familiar ? kristen : other than it looks like steve johnson , minus the patch . chad : look at the ring . kristen : mm - hmm . chad : and the pose . does it , um , does it resemble any of the portraits that you might remember ? kristen : i mean , i guess it looks like fathers , although i have n't seen it in a while . chad : yeah , it looks exactly like father 's . kristen : mm . but why would someone want to paint a portrait of steve johnson to match stefano dimera ? abigail : that 's exactly what we wan na know . chad : and you 're the only person that 's seen him face - to - face . kristen : so ? chad : so , when you met him here that day , did he happen to look like the guy in this portrait ? hattie as marlena : look , we are friends , steve , but we 're never gon na be more than that . steve as stefano : even just to get each other through this terrible tragedy ? hattie as marlena : kayla 's my friend . i mean , kissing , you -- any of that , that would be wrong . steve as stefano : kayla and i are n't together anymore . she 's -- she 's with justin . i signed the divorce papers months ago . hattie as marlena : yes , but you were still connected . i mean , that would be like a double betrayal of her and of john . steve as stefano : john is gone . hattie as marlena : it does n't mean i 've stopped loving him . it does n't mean that i 've stopped feeling like his wife . steve as stefano : yeah , i 'll miss him for the rest of my life , too . but i know my old friend . he would want someone to take care of his beautiful wife . he would n't want you to suffer alone . hattie as marlena : well , perhaps anybody but steve johnson . steve as stefano : what if i told you i was n't steve johnson ? you know , new customers save over $ 1,000 on average will : do you think clyde 's plan could actually work ? ben : you say what you want about my father , but he knows how to skirt the law . will : so then once you get back to the ozarks , then -- ben : yeah , we 'll be able to disappear . will : have you told ciara ? ben : no , no , no . she ca n't know about that , will . ben : she -- ben , she thinks you 're gon na die . ben : and i hate that more than i can say . will , she 's already risked so much for me . i -- i ca n't involve her in any of this . will : okay . i mean , i understand . ben : only reason why i 'm telling you all this is because i wanted to say good- bye . and thank you . i would n't have been able to survive in here without you . will : are you serious ? i -- i -- ben : no , will , it 's true . my god , out of all the people in this world , i could 've never imagined that you and i would be the ones helping each other through this nightmare . will : i mean , i admit it was unlikely , given our history . ben : will , you did n't have to forgive me , but you did . i 'm always gon na be grateful for that . and for our time spent in here together . will : yeah , me too . i ca n't believe it 's come to this that you got ta escape , otherwise they 're gon na execute you for something you did n't do . i mean , that 's -- that 's so unfair . ben : you 're innocent , too . why do n't you come with us ? kate : oh , my god . okay , so your working theory is -- rafe : is that rolf has turned hope into gina . kristen : so you mean that he brainwashed her . rafe : yeah , he 's done it before . kristen : so why is she here ? why is she in prague ? is she with john ? rafe : we think so . we think she 's also taken marlena with her . kristen : does that mean -- i mean , are you saying that she kidnapped marlena ? rafe : it 's a real possibility , yeah . we 're just hoping they 're still here . kristen : god , well , we have to find them . rafe : well , we 're trying , okay , believe me when i tell you we 're trying . roman 's out there right now looking for them . kate : the whole thing is a mess , rafe . rafe : you know , that 's not even the worst part . i have n't even told you the worst part yet . kate : [ sighs ] please , what ? there 's more ? rafe : hope is not the only person who was infested with a new host . kate : [ sighs ] okay , what the hell does that mean ? rafe : we think that steve johnson has been compromised as well . hattie as marlena : what do you mean you 're not steve johnson ? steve as stefano : you see , marlena ... i am a new man . hattie as marlena : oh . wow , your eye is fixed . steve as stefano : it is . dr. rolf devised it . hattie as marlena : oh . why did n't you say anything earlier ? steve as stefano : 'cause i needed to play the part . hattie as marlena : what part ? steve as stefano : well , up until now , you and almost everyone else in salem thought i was steve johnson . but i 've told you the truth . i no longer have to pretend to be that clown . and i do n't need this ridiculous accoutrement . hattie as marlena : what truth ? what is the truth ? steve as stefano : i am not steve johnson , marlena . dr. rolf put me , my consciousness , my essence into his body . johnson is just a vessel . hattie as marlena : i -- essence ? vessel ? what the hell does all that mean ? no . no , it ca n't be . steve as stefano : it is i , marlena . stefano dimera . and it is so good to be back . hope as gina : it 's just the two of us now , john , trapped in this place who knows if we 'll ever be able to leave . john : hope -- hope -- hope as gina : we can make the most of it , you know . just like we did the last time we were trapped together . remember how we made love ? john : we never slept together . hope as gina : john ... look at me . really ... look at me . do you not remember ? our time together was up -- under the sea . john : under the sea . hope as gina : yes . john : you 're not hope . hope as gina : yes , yes , that is right , i am not . i am princess gina von amberg and my gosh , john i never -- i never stopped loving you . not ever . not ever . [ sobs ] john . john : what have you done to hope ? hope as gina : she 's gone . john : where is she ? hope as gina : oh , she 's in here somewhere , but i have complete control of her body and her thoughts , john . hope is never coming back . john : you took over her body ? hope as gina : yes , yes , that is right . john : you took over her body . hope as gina : i have , thanks to our dear , old friend , dr . wilhelm rolf . john , he 's brought me back to the land of the living . he 's given us another chance at love . john : i knew -- i should 've known , i should 've seen this coming . hope as gina : i have worked so hard to get you back . so hard . now it is our time . you wanted me back then . i know you want me now . i know you do . please , john . kristen : you 're asking me if our father looks like steve johnson . chad : well , it 's just 'cause the last time i saw you , you said that you did n't recognize him . abigail : yeah , and the last time i was here , uncle steve was here , and you were supposedly meeting with stefano . chad : so has our father somehow made himself look like steve johnson ? kristen : well as far as i know , the man that was here was steve johnson . chad : so stefano -- kristen : yeah , still looks like stefano . abigail : so how come you said you did n't recognize him ? kristen : a lot of time has gone by , people tend to be different in our memories than in real life . chad : she 's saying that we 're wrong . abigail : yeah . kristen : i 'm saying that this is completely insane . why would our father wan na morph into steve johnson ? abigail : hm , yeah , we thought it was totally unfathomable also , but then i remembered that you 've been walking around for for months with nicole walker 's mask on , so -- kristen : so ? it would take a lot more than a mask to turn stefano into steve johnson . you see , nicole and i were roughly the same body type , and steve and stefano , not so much . chad : maybe it 's not a mask . kristen : then what ? chad : maybe it is steve johnson 's body . kristen : [ laughs ] what , you think father possessed it ? abigail : different personalities have been known to inhabit a given body . kristen : oh . i 'm aware of your struggles , abigail , but this has nothing to do with me or our father . and you know what , chad ? [ laughs ] if i knew something , i would tell you . chad : see , i do n't think that you would . i do n't think she would . abigail : mm - mm . kristen : so you think i 'm lying right now ? chad : well , i think that you 're definitely hiding something . why do n't you just come clean ? get it off your chest . kate : so steve johnson was compromised how ? rafe : okay , roman and i spoke to anna and tony dimera . they had an odd encounter with steve . kate : odd how ? rafe : well , anna was railing against stefano , and steve started defending him , almost became defensive . kate : yeah , no , that is strange , that 's very strange . steve would never defend stefano . rafe : right . exactly . so if hope is n't really hope , then maybe steve is n't really steve . hattie as marlena : no . stefano ? how is that even possible ? steve as stefano : it was n't easy . you see , though my passion for life has never wavered , my body was breaking down . i was barely holding on . my loyal and brilliant scientist dr . rolf found a way to preserve me . hattie as marlena : you mean preserve your essence . steve as stefano : my essence , my consciousness , whatever you wan na call it . rolf arranged for the kidnap of steve johnson , and then he put my very being inside of him . he gave me a new body and a fresh perspective on life . hattie as marlena : well then , why ? steve as stefano : why ? hattie as marlena : why would you go through all that and then just throw it in the trash ? steve as stefano : i do n't understand . hattie as marlena : you 've got a new face . you 've got a new body . and yet , you 're still committing crimes . i mean , prison is prison . they do n't really care what vessel you 're in . steve as stefano : it was risky , i 'll admit that . i could 've taken over steve 's life and lived as a law - abiding citizen . but that would never satisfy me . my wants are too powerful . hattie as marlena : what is it you want ? steve as stefano : what i 've always wanted . i could never leave this earth without possessing the one thing i have desired since i set foot in salem all these years ago . you , marlena . my queen of the night . i 'm jimmy dean and uh , kristen : well , i 'm not hiding anything , i mean , you can search my room , i 'm an open book . chad : ah , i wish i could believe you . kristen : well ... whatever father was planning , he did n't share with me . chad : see , i think that there 's more to this than you 're saying , so we 're not gon na stop until we figure out what that is . kristen : well , good luck . you 're wasting your time . chad : clearly . you ready ? abigail : yeah . chad : mm - hmm . kristen : uh , brother , dear , are n't you forgetting something ? chad : consider it a gift . kristen : what are you looking at ? hattie as marlena : you know , your essence or whatever you call it must not be firing on all cylinders if you think that you could possess me . steve as stefano : oh , marlena . hattie as marlena : i do n't care how you 've changed your looks . there is no way on god 's green earth i would ever be with you . does n't matter how you look . i still hate you . steve as stefano : and we both know there 's a thin line between love and hate . hattie as marlena : hm , not so thin for me . steve as stefano : marlena ... we have danced this dance for so long . you , the bastion of goodness and light , and me , the symbol of all things decadent and dark . you can deny it all you want . but i know there 's a part of you that has always been drawn to me . from our time at the opera , to -- hattie as marlena : to when you had me locked in a cage . steve as stefano : a beautiful , gilded cage . hattie as marlena : did you think i would like that ? steve as stefano : i think you liked being desired and cherished and i think you might 've given into me , had you not been so loyal to my pawn . hattie as marlena : you know , he may have been a pawn to you , but to me , he is a knight in shining armor . steve as stefano : was . your great love is dead . that life is over , but a new life is waiting for you . would it be so terrible to let down your guard ... and see what it is you 've been missing ? hope as gina : john , john , careful , you 'll hurt yourself . john : you drugged me ! hope as gina : medicated . john : you drugged me ! hope as gina : john -- john : i do n't love you . i do n't love you . hope as gina : no . that is not true . john : all the way up here by being with a woman like you , as if my brain was altered and all of my memories were erased , never of my own free will . hope as gina : you do not mean that . john : i do mean that . the only woman i ever loved is marlena . hope as gina : she 's gone . she is gone ! she is gone . and i am happy that i am the one who made that happen . john : you killed her ? hope as gina : i killed her . john : you wo n't get away with this . you -- i 'll make you -- you won't . i 'll make you pay . there 's a way out of here , i -- hope as gina : actually , there is not , there is not . you ... are not going ... anywhere . will : i appreciate the offer , but i ca n't -- i ca n't break out of prison with you . ben : you 're still thinking you might let ciara tell the truth about the accident ? that maggie is responsible for the crash and for adrienne 's death ? will : i do n't know , but i do n't wan na put maggie through that hell . ben : and you sure as hell do n't wan na spend the rest of your life in here , will . will : well , that 's true , but if i go with you , that 's a decision that i ca n't take back . and while i -- what am i gon na do without my daughter and without sonny ? what kind of life could i even lead out there on the run ? i mean , i -- i -- thank you , but i got ta stay put for now . ben : okay . will : well , good luck . i really hope you make it , so -- you deserve to be free . ben : thank you . you too . clyde : all right , girls , break it up . ben : what do you want , dad ? clyde : you and i have some business to attend to . ben : i already told will what the business is . we were just saying good - bye . clyde : what the hell did you do that for ? what if your little boyfriend here rats us out ? will : i wo n't , clyde . ben is my friend , and i got his back . clyde : nice night , huh ? ben : should n't we get a move on before the guard comes back ? clyde : do n't you worry , i paid old tommy to leave us alone for a while . ben : you told him we were escaping . clyde : of course not . he thinks we have a little father - son bonding to attend to . as long as we move before bed check , we 'll be okay . not everyone 's for sale , you know . ben : so what now ?

duke : so , johnny zacchara is in business with julian jerome . shawn : yeah , i guess johnny 's been shooting off at the mouth at pentonville . he 's taken julian 's share of the market . next thing you know , jerome 's former right hand makes an appearance . duke : carlos rivera ? shawn : [ chuckles ] bails him out . duke : well , that in itself is not suspicious , is it ? shawn : no , it would n't be if carlos had n't just been in pentonville with johnny . now , how 's an ex - con like rivera get the funds to put together to rescue a high - profile player like julian ? duke : mm , i do n't see why i 'm surprised . i tried to warn anna . julian 's up to his old tricks . he 's not gon na let a few charges stop him from running the criminal empire that he 's worked so hard to build up . shawn : julian 's as big a threat now as ever . anna 's gon na have her hands full . duke : well , better with julian than with us . jordan : more work for me ? i - i -- is there word on faison , or ... ? anna : uh , the fbi have taken the lead on the manhunt , which is -- is fine for now . you know , i 've been so busy dealing with the fallout from faison 's escape , so ... jordan : thank you . um , wh - what about the guy that broke him out , the one that shot west ?

anna : that 's where you come in , jordan . i need your help to find him . julian : taking ric was ill - advised at best , disastrous at worst . you do realize that both local and federal authorities are searching for him , right ? carlos : yeah . julian : then what the hell , carlos ? ! bringing me to the scene of a -- of a kidnapping ? why ? carlos : it was johnny 's call . julian : you know what ? screw zacchara . you do n't work for him . you work for me . carlos : yeah , but what -- julian : but ? but nothing . just because i threw in with zacchara does n't mean that we have to answer to him . you understand ? carlos : i get that . and i got your back . julian : yeah , you better . carlos : you want to walk from this ? we 'll walk away . i 'm just saying johnny 's not gon na be too happy about it . that 's all . julian : [ chuckles ] have i not made myself clear ? i do n't give a rat 's ass about zacchara . and i 'm certainly not gon na let his vendetta against corinthos be my undoing . you get that ? carlos : so , you 're objecting for , uh ... strategic reasons ? julian : what other reason would there be , carlos ? carlos : alexis . alexis : you want me to represent nina ? nathan : she 's gon na be arraigned soon , and i do n't think she has a competent defense . my sister is in serious trouble , alexis . alexis : yeah , that 's what happens when you kidnap an infant . nathan : i know . i know . trust me . and i think that what she did was terrible . and it 's a miracle that the baby 's okay . alexis : you 're right . thank god for that . nathan : but nina is sick . i think she 's been sick since the day she got out of that coma . from some of the stuff that our mother is saying , maybe even before she went into it . alexis : well , you 're her brother . did you see any signs ? nathan : [ sighs ] i was young . all i saw when i looked at nina was my amazing big sister . i worshipped the ground she walked on . alexis : i 'm sorry , nathan . i mean , for what 's happening to your family . nathan : thanks . alexis : and you 're right . your sister is not in her right mind , and i do hope she gets the help that she needs . nathan : but you 're not gon na be the one to give it . alexis : nina 's done a lot of horrible things to a lot of people , including my daughter . sam : look , if you 've said what you needed to say -- elizabeth : i just do n't get it . why are you doing this ? sam : i was used by one maniac to set another one free . does n't it bother you that faison 's on the loose ? elizabeth : of course it does . i loathe that monster as much as anyone . sam : okay , so why are arguing with me ? elizabeth : the things he did to lucky alone is -- sam : lucky ? lucky survived . not everyone was able to say that . or have you forgotten about jason ? elizabeth : do n't even go there . sam : he 's gone because of faison . faison shot him , threw him into the harbor , and left him to drown . lucky came back . jason never will . jason : sam did n't say anything to you about me ? patrick : sam and i have n't seen much of each other lately . jason : ah . everything okay ? patrick : that remains to be seen . jason : well , i 'm sorry . i hope it all works out . patrick : yeah , me , too . so , what is it that you thought sam might have told me about you ? elizabeth : how dare you suggest that i 've forgotten about jason or i do n't care about him . sam : i should n't have said that . elizabeth : i loved him , too , sam . sam : i know , i know , and i am sorry . i should n't have brought it up . this is personal to me . elizabeth : and it 's not for me ? jake is my friend . sam : what do you mean your friend ? how can you say that ? you barely know this guy . elizabeth : i know this -- i know that he was in a terrible , life - changing accident , and when he woke up , he had no memory , he was all alone , he had a changed face . the man was terrified , not that he would admit it . instead he slaps on this brave face and he goes about his life the best way he knows how . and then you show up . and for some reason , you 're just fixated on him , and you 're accusing him of all these things he did n't do . sam : he did it . i know he did it . elizabeth : based on what ? the fact that jake and the gunman said the same phrase ? that does n't prove guilt . hell , that does n't prove anything . sam : i ca n't explain it , okay ? elizabeth : no , it 's not okay . sam : it 's just a feeling that i have . elizabeth : i have a feeling , too , and jake swore that he is not the man you 're looking for , and i believe him . sam : why ? why do you believe this guy ? how does he have such a hold on you ? what did he -- oh . i get it . elizabeth : what ? sam : you 're falling for him , are n't you ? sam : are you into jake ? elizabeth : what ? sam : you heard me . elizabeth : this is ridiculous . sam : is it ? because you personally nursed him back to health . elizabeth : it 's my job . sam : and then you moved him in to your home . elizabeth : he had no place to go , no family , no money . sam : you spent all this time together , and it 's obvious you have a connection . elizabeth : it 's called friendship . sam : why are you being so defensive ? elizabeth : because you 're accusing me of being in love with some criminal . sam : [ chuckling ] well , it certainly would n't be the first time . elizabeth : excuse me ? sam : you have a history for falling for unsavory men , elizabeth . elizabeth : wow , you 're one to talk . sam : okay , yeah , it 's true . we have both had our moments . but you know what ? you 've had a really rough year , starting with -- with aj . and then ric , and things are obviously over between you and nikolas . elizabeth : so ? sam : so , i 'm just saying that it would n't shock me if you fell for somebody before you even figured out who they were . elizabeth : i 'm sorry . are -- are you implying that i am rebounding so hard that i 'll take anyone , regardless of the danger signs ? sam : hey ... elizabeth : that i am so desperate to have a man in my life , i 'll do anything ? sam : the same way you did anything to hold on to jason ? jason : actually , i - i 'm not here to talk about sam . i was ... hoping to talk about me with you . more specifically , in your capacity as a neurosurgeon . uh , although i still have an outstanding bill here at the hospital . i 'm not quite sure dr . o would approve . patrick : well , dr . o does n't need to know . jason : thanks . patrick : what is it ? jason : well , you know about my memory loss , right ? patrick : yeah , you ca n't remember anything prior to the accident . jason : right . well , if it 's possible , i think it might be getting worse . i - i - i do n't know if i can trust my memories of what 's happening right now . patrick : i 'm not sure i follow . jason : is it possible for me to do something now and completely forget about it tomorrow ? shawn : we need a game plan and fast . i mean , johnny gave sonny 48 hours to turn everything over , and that was yesterday . duke : so , we 've got 24 hours until ric dies . well , that 's precious little time to find him and steal him back . shawn : agreed . so , how you want to play this ? duke : i 'm gon na give johnny and julian exactly what they want . anna : i spoke to alexis about -- about ric 's disappearance , and she said that she would talk to julian , see if she could get him to confess to being behind it . jordan : oh , let me guess . he denied it ? yeah . deny , deny . do you believe it ? anna : i do n't know what i believe anymore . according to my intel , ric is -- is no threat to julian , so why would he go to the lengths of kidnapping him ? jordan : well , ric might be more useful to julian than we actually know . anna : in any case , he 's our best -- he 's our only suspect , and now he 's out on bail thanks to carlos rivera . so if i 'm going to find out if julian has ric , i need someone in there with him and carlos , someone that they trust . jordan : someone like me . anna : i know you 're done . i get it . jordan : i 'm more than done . i am burnt out . anna : i do n't blame you . but there is not one other person that can do this job . what do you say ? will you do it ? julian : alexis and i are through . carlos : yeah . [ clears throat ] well , sabrina and i have n't been together for years , and i still love her . [ chuckles ] hell , i even went to prison for her . and i bet you would do the same thing for alexis . julian : look , the man in that trunk is important to a lot of people , namely alexis ' daughter . molly 's been put through enough by me . she deserves to have her father back . carlos : yeah . and if everything goes according to plan , she will . julian : that 's a pretty big `` if . `` i trust zacchara 's plans about as much as i trust him . carlos : [ sighs ] all right , well , how about this ? why do n't we sit tight , see how this whole thing shakes out ? if sonny do n't play ball , i let ric go . screw johnny . [ cell phone rings ] julian : jerome . duke : julian , this is duke lavery . i think it 's time that we discussed things face to face . do n't you agree ? nathan : i 'm not in denial when it comes to nina . i know the trouble that she caused silas and sam . alexis : she turned their lives upside down . nathan : i know , and it was wrong and it was manipulative and it was a laundry list of other things . alexis : hateful things . nathan : i know that , but nina is my sister and i love her . i just want to protect her . you 'd do the same for yours if you could . alexis : how did you know i have a sister ? nathan : i 'm a detective . it 's my job to detect . just think about , okay ? if you had the choice to go e to go back , to change things for her , to save her ... alexis : i would do it in a heartbeat . nathan : okay . we i know it 's a lot to ask . just -- if you wo n't do it for her , do it for me . alexis : because we 're so close ? nathan : because we 're family . alexis : oh , wow . pulling out the cassadine card and -- and trading on the blood tie ? nathan : did it work ? nina : you lied to me . you said i 'd have my family and that it would be just the two of us and baby jaime and nothing would get in our way , and something did . franco : [ sighs ] you 're right . nina : ava , silas , morgan -- they took my little girl from me . franco : i wanted to distract them . i - i wanted to call attention to myself so that you could be with jaime , so you could at least have her . nina : i do n't have anything now . franco : and i failed you , and i ca n't tell you how sorry i am . nina : do n't be sorry . just please let it go . franco : but you may be the only friend that i 've ever had in my life . nina : we 're not friends . we 're not friends . franco : you 're certainly the only friend i have right now . and you ca n't turn your back on me . nina . you ca n't . nina : even if i wanted to be friends with you , it does n't matter . franco : how can you say it does n't matter ? nina : because we 're waiting for our arraignment . franco : so what ? nina : we 're not gon na make bail after everything that we did . we 're -- we 're gon na be in different prisons , waiting for our own trials . we 're not gon na beat these charges , franco . franco : there 's always a way to beat the charges . nina : no , there 's not . it 's over . this is the last time we 're gon na see each other . [ voice breaking ] our story is already written . it ends here . nathan : i know my sister seems like a lost cause , but underneath her illness , nina 's a good person . she 's -- she 's caring , she 's loyal , she 's hilarious . she just got a raw deal from our mother . alexis : well , i know a little something about that . i mean , not my mother . my mother was wonderful . and then there 's nikolas , but the rest of my family -- they 're insane . nathan : okay , well , then you know where i 'm coming from . alexis : yeah . nathan : look , i just hate the thought that nina 's out there alone with nobody to fight for her or -- alexis : all right , nathan . you can let up now . nathan : i can ? alexis : i will represent your sister . nathan : [ sighs ] thank you . you have no idea what this -- alexis : do n't thank me yet , because if half of what you say is true about her , then to say i 'm facing an uphill battle is an understatement . nathan : but you 'll try . alexis : i will do what i can . what i wo n't do is make promises that i ca n't keep . nathan : i wish i 'd learned that lesson before i opened my mouth to maxie . elizabeth : what exactly are you accusing me of ? looking past jason 's line of work ? sam : no . elizabeth : excusing it ? ignoring it ? because you , sam , built a life sam : [ chuckles ] i was referring to you keeping the truth about danny from jason and me because you were scared it would bring us back together . elizabeth : and that 's a decision i will regret until the day i die . but i have done everything i can to make amends with you and jason . but i 'm not the only one who makes mistakes , sam . sam : i agree . elizabeth : you want to talk about questionable acts to hang on to the man you love ? how about standing by and doing nothing while an innocent child is being kidnapped while his mother is terrified and frantic for her child ? sam : you 're right . i was in no position to throw stones . elizabeth : thank you . but i do n't get it . i do n't -- none of this ancient history has anything to do with jake . they are not the same people . sam : no , i agree . jake is no jason . patrick : so , let me clarify . are you experiencing short - term memory loss or blackouts ? jason : i honestly do n't know . i mean , i thought everything was fine , [ chuckles ] aside from not knowing who i am . patrick : right . jason : but something happened . patrick : like what ? jason : i have this crystal - clear image of everything that i 've done since the moment i woke up until when the light went out , but ... i do n't know . i do n't know even what you 'd call it . i had this , uh , flicker -- an image of something i 've done that is completely contradictory to what i remember doing . and ... i mean , do you -- do you think that could be an after effect of the hit - and - run , like , my mind playing tricks on me ? or do you think that -- do you think that could be a real memory ? jordan : so , my son has been living with the assumption that i 'm a drug dealer . that has damaged our relationship in ways that i ca n't even describe , and to just continue on -- anna : i 'm not asking for an indefinite commitment . i just need to know whether julian is behind ric 's disappearance . that 's all i need . jordan : that , in itself , is indefinite , okay ? because it took us months -- months to find out who julian was really working for . who 's -- who 's to say that we 're gon na fare any better ? anna : well , we know who the players are , so that puts us ahead of the game , and we have a plan of attack . what 's the difference , jordan , to you coming clean to your son tonight and waiting a few days and bringing ric home to his daughter ? and that 's , uh -- is n't that t.j. 's girlfriend ? i mean , you 'd be a bona fide hero in your son 's eyes , would n't you ? jordan : [ chuckles ] you play dirty . anna : dirty but effective ? jordan : man . [ chuckles ] just when i thought i was out , you bring me back in . anna : i 'm good like that . duke : gentlemen . sit . relax . we 're on neutral territory . carlos : unlike the graveyard . shawn : always time to relocate . duke : now , now , let 's not get off on the wrong foot . julian : meeting in a hotel that 's home to sonny 's office , owned by his ex ? yeah . [ clears throat ] very neutral . duke : well , sonny 's not here , is he ? julian : no . no , he is n't . but i am , so the question is why ? duke : shawn 's informed me about what 's going on at pentonville . it seems that johnny zacchara wants to take over sonny 's territory much as he has yours . julian : [ chuckles ] well , that 's not even remotely accurate . duke : regardless , in exchange , ric lansing goes free , unharmed . are those still the terms ? julian : [ sighs ] they are . duke : well ... you 'll be pleased to know that i have instructions from sonny to agree . julian : just like that ? duke : i 'm as surprised as you are , but then again , i , uh -- i 'm only following orders . julian : well , this might be a first -- a transfer of territory without any bloodshed . duke : do n't misunderstand . this is just one round that you have won . this is far from over . ric lansing goes free and unharmed , and you and your boss , johnny zacchara , will get what you deserve . alexis : any news on ric ? anna : oh . no . um ... not yet . when there is , you 'll definitely be the first to know . alexis : if that 's your way of telling me to stop checking , that 's not gon na happen because the pcpd has n't exactly been forthcoming on the subject . anna : well , we 're trying to keep things quiet to keep ric safe , and the rest of his family . we are treating this with the utmost gravity . alexis : i certainly hope so . anna : i am allocating every resource , exhausting every avenue of investigation , and when that one fails , i move on to the next . we will find him . julian : quite the eager beaver , are n't you ? duke : sonny 's anxious to have his brother returned . julian : we 're happy to make that happen after we get what we want . duke : we 're acting in good faith . julian : you 're in no position to argue ... unless you place a lower value on ric 's life than sonny does . and i do n't think that would go over very well . so , you 'll get ric back as soon as i 'm satisfied that we 've got sonny -- or should i say sonny 's territory ? -- and not a moment before . jordan : hello . it 's nice to see you both out from behind bars . so , what 's the word , hmm ? is it time to get back to work ? franco : you really think that you and i -- we 're gon na go to separate prisons , i 'm never gon na see you again in my life ? that 's what you think ? nina : do n't you ? franco : [ chuckling ] no . you know what i think ? nina : stop talking . stop talking . stop talking . just -- i do n't -- please stop trying to make this better . it - it 's making my head hurt . i 'm so tired . franco : no , the drugs are making your head hurt , nina . they gave you drugs because they want to take the fight out of you . nina : let them take it . franco : no , no . do n't let them . all right , you know what ? go ahead . go ahead . le - let them . give them another two decades of your life while you 're at it . do n't let them win , nina . do n't let them have the last laugh . you can have a life . i can have a life . you and i -- we can have a life together . nina : i do n't understand how you do this . how do you think there 's still hope for us ? franco : there 's hope for us . i 'll go first . nina clay -- nina : nina reeves . franco : nina reeves , i promise you that i will stick by you no matter what . and i know that i have broken a lot of -- i 've broken every promise i 've ever made in my life . and it does n't seem to be working so well for me , so i 'm gon na change that . and , um ... things are gon na be okay . [ keys jangling ] franco : you 'll see . [ door opens ] alexis : nina ? nina : yes ? alexis : i 'm alexis davis . your brother sent me . i 'm here to help . jason : how could i remember something that i did n't do ? patrick : well , your injuries were extensive to say the least . your scan showed prior signs of brain surgery . both could be messing with your perception and memory . we could run some more tests , if you 'd like . jason : would they be any different from the tests i 've already had ? patrick : the fact that they were done in last three months -- probably not . jason : then it seems like a waste of your time to run yet more tests that i can not pay for . patrick : have you ever thought about seeing a therapist , jake ? dr. collins is the best in the business . jason : a psychiatrist ? patrick : he 's had a lot of success working with patients , helping their memory loss using hypnotherapy . jason : i do n't know if that 's the way i want to go . patrick : well , that 's your prerogative , but in my professional opinion , i highly recommend you sit down with him . jason : highly , huh ? patrick : look , truth is we do n't know who you are . jason : but if you had to guess ? patrick : i would guess that teacher or stockbroker are n't on your résumé . you 're in great physical shape . you 'd have to be to recover the way you did . jason : so , that somehow makes me a criminal . patrick : i 'm not saying you 're a bad guy , jake , but here in port charles , we have a high organized - crime presence , and you were found wandering route 31 in the middle of the night , so i would say that it 's a possibility . jason : you know what ? uh ... thank you , but i - i do n't think i - i need this . you know , the more i think about it , i was remembering something that did n't actually happen . someone just ... put it in my mind . sam : jake helped him escape . all i want is to bring him to justice . elizabeth : [ sighs ] okay . this conversation is getting us nowhere . i 'm gon na go . fair warning . sam : please . elizabeth : if you keep making trouble for jake , dragging his name through the mud , we 'll be forced to sue you for harassment . sam : [ chuckles ] did you hear yourself ? you just said `` we . `` so -- so you and jake -- it 's `` we `` now ? elizabeth : i 'm not screwing around , sam . sam : neither am i , elizabeth . you do what you have to do . i know i will . anna : where are you , ric ? what have they done with you ? [ muffled grunting , thumping ] jordan : you look good for a guy fresh from a stint . carlos : you just look good . jordan : [ chuckles ] you look good , too , julian . julian : thanks . jordan : so what did the lawyers say ? i mean , can they beat the charges ? julian : well , they certainly have their work cut out for them . which reminds me -- you need to keep your nose clean . cops are gon na come after you to cement their case against me . carlos : i 'm surprised they have n't picked you up already . jordan : luck . [ chuckles ] julian : maybe . i choose to believe it 's just 'cause you 're that good . jordan : well , good . i 'm glad to hear it , 'cause i am just itching to get back in the game . so tell me -- is there -- is there actually money to be made or ... ? julian : a lot , actually . jordan : ah , excellent . so , loop me in . loop me in . i want to know everything that i missed . duke : well , i knew it was a long shot -- requesting that julian hand over ric . shawn : had to try . what now ? duke : i 'll string julian along , give him the impression that i 'm complying with johnny 's wishes . well , god willing , that will give you enough time to find ric . jason : thanks for hearing me out . patrick : well , i 'm not sure i did any good . jason : well , actually , it helped a lot -- talking to a professional . patrick : it would help more to talk to dr . collins . jason : yeah , no need , but , uh , thanks . patrick : okay . jason : hey . elizabeth : hey . i 'm just dropping off my toys for tots donation . jason : that 's very cool . elizabeth : did i just see you with patrick ? jason : yeah , i was hoping he could help with the whole memory thing . elizabeth : and ... ? jason : unfortunately , there 's not a lot he can do . i might just have to live with the possibility that i may never remember who i was . sam : deny it all you want , elizabeth . jake is not a good guy . and i 'm gon na prove it . nina : j ? j sent you ? alexis : j ? nina : nathan . sorry , that 's -- his name is nathan . alexis : yes , your brother made quite a case for you . franco : told you so . alexis : i told him that i will do what i can to try to keep you out of prison . nina : wow . uh , i 'm really shocked . uh ... i - i thought that , um , j had written me off , i mean , after all the lies that i told . alexis : your brother loves you . nina : i guess . alexis : it must be nice to know that there 's still someone looking out for you . nina : it is nice . alexis : well , all right . so , all we need to do now is for you to consent to my representation , and then we 'll get down to the business of defending you . nina : okay , um , thank you . it 's really nice to have you on my team . thank you very much . um , but i 'll sign that only on one condition . alexis : well , that 's a first . what condition would that be ? nina : that you represent my friend franco . nathan : hey , it 's nathan . alexis was n't able to help . and the judge is not gon na let maxie see her daughter because of my screw - up . i got to fix this , okay , and i ca n't do this without you . [ next_on ] franco : ( to alexis ) what 's your big game plan for me ? julian : ( to sam ) i came here to see you . nathan : ( on phone ) i really want to do this for maxie . maxie : do what for maxie ? morgan : ( to silas ) do you know who the father is ? sonny : ( to johnny ) i just need more proof that ric 's still alive . shawn : ( to jordan ) do you want to help me save him ? carlos : it 'll all be over soon . | alexis tells nathan that she is going to appeal maxie 's case . nathan asks alexis to represent nina . nina is moved to the cell across from franco 's . franco says they are going to beat the charges . nina thinks this is the last time they will ever see each other . he assures her that he will stick by her and that everything will be ok . alexis goes to the jail and tells nina that her brother asks her to represent her . nina says she will accept alexis ' help if she also represents franco . nathan calls someone to ask for their help with maxie 's case . | <s>[INST] duke : oh , you can just leave the box . i 'll choose the flavor later . thank you . shawn : novel way of taking collection . [ sighs ] duke : i 'm trying to keep attention away from the warehouse . what with faison on the loose and julian jerome about to face trial , i reckon the authorities will be focusing all their attention on our business . shawn : yeah , well , if johnny zacchara gets his way , wo n't be our business much longer . carlos : hey , boss . welcome to the garage , johnny 's home away from home . julian : yeah . why am i here ? carlos : johnny sent a message . he 's got a delivery for us . julian : of ? carlos : the thing that 's gon na be the end of sonny corinthos . julian : oh , my god . alexis : i 'm really sorry , nathan . i wish there was more that i could do . nathan : but this is outrageous . alexis : i agree . nathan : judge walters thinks that he can just keep maxie from her daughter ? alexis : he does n't think . he can . nathan : but how ? this is so obviously just some petty ax he has to grind . ca n't you , i do n't know , get him thrown off the case , or -- or argue bias or incompetence ? alexis : i could try , but it 's the legal equivalent of the cubs beating the knicks in the super bowl . nathan : [ sighs ] a baseball team ca n't beat a basketball team in a football championship . alexis : my point exactly . defining futility . nathan : there 's got to be something we can do . i promised maxie that she would spend christmas with her daughter . alexis : i 'm going to appeal , but i 'm afraid that 's all i can do . nathan : i guess that 's better than nothing . alexis : i 'm not gon na give up , nathan . i promise . nathan : neither am i . look , in the meantime , there 's another reason i asked to see you . i need you to represent my sister . anna : mind your step . there you go . these are gon na be your new accommodations . franco : nina ? [ doorbell rings ] sam : elizabeth . elizabeth : we need to talk about jake . sam : [ muffled ] no ! patrick : jake . you okay ? jason : hey , dr . drake . patrick : please call me patrick . we spent a holiday together . that upgrades you to first - name basis . jason : lucky me . um ... thanksgiving was a good time , though , huh ? patrick : yeah . elizabeth went all out . jason : i still ca n't believe how much turkey danny ate . i mean , the kid matched me bite for bite . patrick : the kid can eat . jason : yeah . he 's a cool kid . you 're lucky to spend so much time with him . i 'm gon na have to take full advantage next time . patrick : do n't know that there 's gon na be a next time . jason : i take it sam already told you . patrick : told me what ? sam : please , make yourself at home . elizabeth : sorry to barge in like this , but you kind of set the tone when you went after jake . sam : oh , he told you . elizabeth : when are you gon na let this go ? your theory that jake is the gunman who took you hostage is absurd . sam : uh , says who ? elizabeth : me . i say . sam : [ chuckles ] how can you be so sure ? elizabeth : i just am . sam : oh , elizabeth , you probably know your mailman better than you know jake , the stranger that you moved in to your home to live with you and your kids . elizabeth : are you judging me ? sam : no , i 'm concerned about you . elizabeth : oh , right , right . concerned . well , my personal life is none of your business , and you know what ? neither is jake 's . sam : no , jake made it my business when he shoved a gun to my side and shot nathan west , who , in case you do n't know , happens to be my cousin . elizabeth : oh , my god ! jake did neither of those things , okay ? so you just back off . sam : no , i ca n't . duke : so , ric lansing was not only innocent but anna knew it ? shawn : faked his death and smuggled him into protective custody . duke : wow . she 's not one to be underestimated , is she ? shawn : did n't quite work out the way she wanted . johnny 's people found out where ric was and snatched him without anyone knowing . duke : so now johnny zacchara 's threatening to murder ric unless sonny plays ball . shawn : man , talk about a rock and a hard place . i mean , sonny and ric are n't close , but sonny refuses to have another death on his conscience . duke : well , it does n't make sense to me . i mean , there is no zacchara organization . johnny 's serving a murder sentence . and even if they had the infrastructure in place , from pentonville , he 's in no position to run an organization . shawn : no . but julian jerome is . julian : that 's ric lansing . carlos : yep . julian : you know , alexis told me that he vanished from protective custody , thought i knew something about it , but i had no idea . carlos : until now . julian : so , what the hell is he doing bound and gagged in the trunk of this car ? carlos : safe keeping . johnny gave sonny 48 hours to give over his territory . sonny 's got 24 hours left to comply . julian : okay , and if he does n't ? carlos : bye - bye , ric . alexis : i 'm sorry , nathan , but i ca n't represent your sister . nathan : uh , can i ask why not ? alexis : well , for one thing , it 's a conflict of interest . nikolas is my nephew . nathan : oh , i 'm not asking about britt . britt can take care of herself . alexis : i just assumed when you mentioned your sister -- nathan : i know . i meant my other sister . i 'm asking you to help nina . anna : here you go . yeah . it 's all kind of self - explanatory . franco : nina ! anna : keep going . franco : hey ! nina ! [ lock engages ] franco : what 's going on ? what 's with the relocation ? anna : it 's temporary until your arraignment . franco : should n't she be with the other female prisoners ? anna : well , i thought you 'd be pleased , being reunited with your partner in crime and all that . franco : it 's just -- she does n't seem okay . what did you do to her ? anna : well , she did it to herself . she took a stand against ava jerome , and we were forced to give her a mild sedative . franco : i 'm pretty sure there are laws against that . anna : yeah , there are laws to protect all inmates , including ava . so if you 're uncomfortable with this proximity , then i can make arrangements to transfer one of you to pentonville . franco : no , i 'm glad she 's here . it 's just -- she does n't seem okay . anna : really ? how can you tell ? perhaps by some grotesque twist , you could actually soothe her . enjoy your time together while you have it . [ door closes ] franco : nina . nina ! come on . what 's going on ? say something . nina : you lied to me . anna : all right . thanks for coming in . jordan : i was n't given much of a choice . anna : no , i know . i apologize for that . but i - i needed to maintain appearances . your treatment is commensurate with another jerome associate being brought in for questioning . jordan : well , except i no longer am a jerome associate . dea . cut me loose , remember ? anna : mm - hmm . did you compromise your cover ? jordan : no , not yet . but i am coming clean to my son today . i mean , i only held out this long to make sure that , uh , faison did n't resurface . anna : so , you do n't believe this operation is over ? jordan : does it matter ? i mean , it is for me , at least . i mean , if this investigation is still going on , i 'm no longer a part of it . anna : what if i said that is n't so , that there was still work for you to do ? duke : so , johnny zacchara is in business with julian jerome . shawn : yeah , i guess johnny 's been shooting off at the mouth at pentonville . he 's taken julian 's share of the market . next thing you know , jerome 's former right hand makes an appearance . duke : carlos rivera ? shawn : [ chuckles ] bails him out . duke : well , that in itself is not suspicious , is it ? shawn : no , it would n't be if carlos had n't just been in pentonville with johnny . now , how 's an ex - con like rivera get the funds to put together to rescue a high - profile player like julian ? duke : mm , i do n't see why i 'm surprised . i tried to warn anna . julian 's up to his old tricks . he 's not gon na let a few charges stop him from running the criminal empire that he 's worked so hard to build up . shawn : julian 's as big a threat now as ever . anna 's gon na have her hands full . duke : well , better with julian than with us . jordan : more work for me ? i - i -- is there word on faison , or ... ? anna : uh , the fbi have taken the lead on the manhunt , which is -- is fine for now . you know , i 've been so busy dealing with the fallout from faison 's escape , so ... jordan : thank you . um , wh - what about the guy that broke him out , the one that shot west ? is there any leads ? anna : no . theory is that he escaped with faison . but i still have people investigating locally . anyway , we -- we have a bigger priority . ric lansing . jordan : he 's still missing ? anna : that 's where you come in , jordan . i need your help to find him . julian : taking ric was ill - advised at best , disastrous at worst . you do realize that both local and federal authorities are searching for him , right ? carlos : yeah . julian : then what the hell , carlos ? ! bringing me to the scene of a -- of a kidnapping ? why ? carlos : it was johnny 's call . julian : you know what ? screw zacchara . you do n't work for him . you work for me . carlos : yeah , but what -- julian : but ? but nothing . just because i threw in with zacchara does n't mean that we have to answer to him . you understand ? carlos : i get that . and i got your back . julian : yeah , you better . carlos : you want to walk from this ? we 'll walk away . i 'm just saying johnny 's not gon na be too happy about it . that 's all . julian : [ chuckles ] have i not made myself clear ? i do n't give a rat 's ass about zacchara . and i 'm certainly not gon na let his vendetta against corinthos be my undoing . you get that ? carlos : so , you 're objecting for , uh ... strategic reasons ? julian : what other reason would there be , carlos ? carlos : alexis . alexis : you want me to represent nina ? nathan : she 's gon na be arraigned soon , and i do n't think she has a competent defense . my sister is in serious trouble , alexis . alexis : yeah , that 's what happens when you kidnap an infant . nathan : i know . i know . trust me . and i think that what she did was terrible . and it 's a miracle that the baby 's okay . alexis : you 're right . thank god for that . nathan : but nina is sick . i think she 's been sick since the day she got out of that coma . from some of the stuff that our mother is saying , maybe even before she went into it . alexis : well , you 're her brother . did you see any signs ? nathan : [ sighs ] i was young . all i saw when i looked at nina was my amazing big sister . i worshipped the ground she walked on . alexis : i 'm sorry , nathan . i mean , for what 's happening to your family . nathan : thanks . alexis : and you 're right . your sister is not in her right mind , and i do hope she gets the help that she needs . nathan : but you 're not gon na be the one to give it . alexis : nina 's done a lot of horrible things to a lot of people , including my daughter . sam : look , if you 've said what you needed to say -- elizabeth : i just do n't get it . why are you doing this ? sam : i was used by one maniac to set another one free . does n't it bother you that faison 's on the loose ? elizabeth : of course it does . i loathe that monster as much as anyone . sam : okay , so why are arguing with me ? elizabeth : the things he did to lucky alone is -- sam : lucky ? lucky survived . not everyone was able to say that . or have you forgotten about jason ? elizabeth : do n't even go there . sam : he 's gone because of faison . faison shot him , threw him into the harbor , and left him to drown . lucky came back . jason never will . jason : sam did n't say anything to you about me ? patrick : sam and i have n't seen much of each other lately . jason : ah . everything okay ? patrick : that remains to be seen . jason : well , i 'm sorry . i hope it all works out . patrick : yeah , me , too . so , what is it that you thought sam might have told me about you ? elizabeth : how dare you suggest that i 've forgotten about jason or i do n't care about him . sam : i should n't have said that . elizabeth : i loved him , too , sam . sam : i know , i know , and i am sorry . i should n't have brought it up . this is personal to me . elizabeth : and it 's not for me ? jake is my friend . sam : what do you mean your friend ? how can you say that ? you barely know this guy . elizabeth : i know this -- i know that he was in a terrible , life - changing accident , and when he woke up , he had no memory , he was all alone , he had a changed face . the man was terrified , not that he would admit it . instead he slaps on this brave face and he goes about his life the best way he knows how . and then you show up . and for some reason , you 're just fixated on him , and you 're accusing him of all these things he did n't do . sam : he did it . i know he did it . elizabeth : based on what ? the fact that jake and the gunman said the same phrase ? that does n't prove guilt . hell , that does n't prove anything . sam : i ca n't explain it , okay ? elizabeth : no , it 's not okay . sam : it 's just a feeling that i have . elizabeth : i have a feeling , too , and jake swore that he is not the man you 're looking for , and i believe him . sam : why ? why do you believe this guy ? how does he have such a hold on you ? what did he -- oh . i get it . elizabeth : what ? sam : you 're falling for him , are n't you ? sam : are you into jake ? elizabeth : what ? sam : you heard me . elizabeth : this is ridiculous . sam : is it ? because you personally nursed him back to health . elizabeth : it 's my job . sam : and then you moved him in to your home . elizabeth : he had no place to go , no family , no money . sam : you spent all this time together , and it 's obvious you have a connection . elizabeth : it 's called friendship . sam : why are you being so defensive ? elizabeth : because you 're accusing me of being in love with some criminal . sam : [ chuckling ] well , it certainly would n't be the first time . elizabeth : excuse me ? sam : you have a history for falling for unsavory men , elizabeth . elizabeth : wow , you 're one to talk . sam : okay , yeah , it 's true . we have both had our moments . but you know what ? you 've had a really rough year , starting with -- with aj . and then ric , and things are obviously over between you and nikolas . elizabeth : so ? sam : so , i 'm just saying that it would n't shock me if you fell for somebody before you even figured out who they were . elizabeth : i 'm sorry . are -- are you implying that i am rebounding so hard that i 'll take anyone , regardless of the danger signs ? sam : hey ... elizabeth : that i am so desperate to have a man in my life , i 'll do anything ? sam : the same way you did anything to hold on to jason ? jason : actually , i - i 'm not here to talk about sam . i was ... hoping to talk about me with you . more specifically , in your capacity as a neurosurgeon . uh , although i still have an outstanding bill here at the hospital . i 'm not quite sure dr . o would approve . patrick : well , dr . o does n't need to know . jason : thanks . patrick : what is it ? jason : well , you know about my memory loss , right ? patrick : yeah , you ca n't remember anything prior to the accident . jason : right . well , if it 's possible , i think it might be getting worse . i - i - i do n't know if i can trust my memories of what 's happening right now . patrick : i 'm not sure i follow . jason : is it possible for me to do something now and completely forget about it tomorrow ? shawn : we need a game plan and fast . i mean , johnny gave sonny 48 hours to turn everything over , and that was yesterday . duke : so , we 've got 24 hours until ric dies . well , that 's precious little time to find him and steal him back . shawn : agreed . so , how you want to play this ? duke : i 'm gon na give johnny and julian exactly what they want . anna : i spoke to alexis about -- about ric 's disappearance , and she said that she would talk to julian , see if she could get him to confess to being behind it . jordan : oh , let me guess . he denied it ? yeah . deny , deny . do you believe it ? anna : i do n't know what i believe anymore . according to my intel , ric is -- is no threat to julian , so why would he go to the lengths of kidnapping him ? jordan : well , ric might be more useful to julian than we actually know . anna : in any case , he 's our best -- he 's our only suspect , and now he 's out on bail thanks to carlos rivera . so if i 'm going to find out if julian has ric , i need someone in there with him and carlos , someone that they trust . jordan : someone like me . anna : i know you 're done . i get it . jordan : i 'm more than done . i am burnt out . anna : i do n't blame you . but there is not one other person that can do this job . what do you say ? will you do it ? julian : alexis and i are through . carlos : yeah . [ clears throat ] well , sabrina and i have n't been together for years , and i still love her . [ chuckles ] hell , i even went to prison for her . and i bet you would do the same thing for alexis . julian : look , the man in that trunk is important to a lot of people , namely alexis ' daughter . molly 's been put through enough by me . she deserves to have her father back . carlos : yeah . and if everything goes according to plan , she will . julian : that 's a pretty big `` if . `` i trust zacchara 's plans about as much as i trust him . carlos : [ sighs ] all right , well , how about this ? why do n't we sit tight , see how this whole thing shakes out ? if sonny do n't play ball , i let ric go . screw johnny . [ cell phone rings ] julian : jerome . duke : julian , this is duke lavery . i think it 's time that we discussed things face to face . do n't you agree ? nathan : i 'm not in denial when it comes to nina . i know the trouble that she caused silas and sam . alexis : she turned their lives upside down . nathan : i know , and it was wrong and it was manipulative and it was a laundry list of other things . alexis : hateful things . nathan : i know that , but nina is my sister and i love her . i just want to protect her . you 'd do the same for yours if you could . alexis : how did you know i have a sister ? nathan : i 'm a detective . it 's my job to detect . just think about , okay ? if you had the choice to go e to go back , to change things for her , to save her ... alexis : i would do it in a heartbeat . nathan : okay . we i know it 's a lot to ask . just -- if you wo n't do it for her , do it for me . alexis : because we 're so close ? nathan : because we 're family . alexis : oh , wow . pulling out the cassadine card and -- and trading on the blood tie ? nathan : did it work ? nina : you lied to me . you said i 'd have my family and that it would be just the two of us and baby jaime and nothing would get in our way , and something did . franco : [ sighs ] you 're right . nina : ava , silas , morgan -- they took my little girl from me . franco : i wanted to distract them . i - i wanted to call attention to myself so that you could be with jaime , so you could at least have her . nina : i do n't have anything now . franco : and i failed you , and i ca n't tell you how sorry i am . nina : do n't be sorry . just please let it go . franco : but you may be the only friend that i 've ever had in my life . nina : we 're not friends . we 're not friends . franco : you 're certainly the only friend i have right now . and you ca n't turn your back on me . nina . you ca n't . nina : even if i wanted to be friends with you , it does n't matter . franco : how can you say it does n't matter ? nina : because we 're waiting for our arraignment . franco : so what ? nina : we 're not gon na make bail after everything that we did . we 're -- we 're gon na be in different prisons , waiting for our own trials . we 're not gon na beat these charges , franco . franco : there 's always a way to beat the charges . nina : no , there 's not . it 's over . this is the last time we 're gon na see each other . [ voice breaking ] our story is already written . it ends here . nathan : i know my sister seems like a lost cause , but underneath her illness , nina 's a good person . she 's -- she 's caring , she 's loyal , she 's hilarious . she just got a raw deal from our mother . alexis : well , i know a little something about that . i mean , not my mother . my mother was wonderful . and then there 's nikolas , but the rest of my family -- they 're insane . nathan : okay , well , then you know where i 'm coming from . alexis : yeah . nathan : look , i just hate the thought that nina 's out there alone with nobody to fight for her or -- alexis : all right , nathan . you can let up now . nathan : i can ? alexis : i will represent your sister . nathan : [ sighs ] thank you . you have no idea what this -- alexis : do n't thank me yet , because if half of what you say is true about her , then to say i 'm facing an uphill battle is an understatement . nathan : but you 'll try . alexis : i will do what i can . what i wo n't do is make promises that i ca n't keep . nathan : i wish i 'd learned that lesson before i opened my mouth to maxie . elizabeth : what exactly are you accusing me of ? looking past jason 's line of work ? sam : no . elizabeth : excusing it ? ignoring it ? because you , sam , built a life sam : [ chuckles ] i was referring to you keeping the truth about danny from jason and me because you were scared it would bring us back together . elizabeth : and that 's a decision i will regret until the day i die . but i have done everything i can to make amends with you and jason . but i 'm not the only one who makes mistakes , sam . sam : i agree . elizabeth : you want to talk about questionable acts to hang on to the man you love ? how about standing by and doing nothing while an innocent child is being kidnapped while his mother is terrified and frantic for her child ? sam : you 're right . i was in no position to throw stones . elizabeth : thank you . but i do n't get it . i do n't -- none of this ancient history has anything to do with jake . they are not the same people . sam : no , i agree . jake is no jason . patrick : so , let me clarify . are you experiencing short - term memory loss or blackouts ? jason : i honestly do n't know . i mean , i thought everything was fine , [ chuckles ] aside from not knowing who i am . patrick : right . jason : but something happened . patrick : like what ? jason : i have this crystal - clear image of everything that i 've done since the moment i woke up until when the light went out , but ... i do n't know . i do n't know even what you 'd call it . i had this , uh , flicker -- an image of something i 've done that is completely contradictory to what i remember doing . and ... i mean , do you -- do you think that could be an after effect of the hit - and - run , like , my mind playing tricks on me ? or do you think that -- do you think that could be a real memory ? jordan : so , my son has been living with the assumption that i 'm a drug dealer . that has damaged our relationship in ways that i ca n't even describe , and to just continue on -- anna : i 'm not asking for an indefinite commitment . i just need to know whether julian is behind ric 's disappearance . that 's all i need . jordan : that , in itself , is indefinite , okay ? because it took us months -- months to find out who julian was really working for . who 's -- who 's to say that we 're gon na fare any better ? anna : well , we know who the players are , so that puts us ahead of the game , and we have a plan of attack . what 's the difference , jordan , to you coming clean to your son tonight and waiting a few days and bringing ric home to his daughter ? and that 's , uh -- is n't that t.j. 's girlfriend ? i mean , you 'd be a bona fide hero in your son 's eyes , would n't you ? jordan : [ chuckles ] you play dirty . anna : dirty but effective ? jordan : man . [ chuckles ] just when i thought i was out , you bring me back in . anna : i 'm good like that . duke : gentlemen . sit . relax . we 're on neutral territory . carlos : unlike the graveyard . shawn : always time to relocate . duke : now , now , let 's not get off on the wrong foot . julian : meeting in a hotel that 's home to sonny 's office , owned by his ex ? yeah . [ clears throat ] very neutral . duke : well , sonny 's not here , is he ? julian : no . no , he is n't . but i am , so the question is why ? duke : shawn 's informed me about what 's going on at pentonville . it seems that johnny zacchara wants to take over sonny 's territory much as he has yours . julian : [ chuckles ] well , that 's not even remotely accurate . duke : regardless , in exchange , ric lansing goes free , unharmed . are those still the terms ? julian : [ sighs ] they are . duke : well ... you 'll be pleased to know that i have instructions from sonny to agree . julian : just like that ? duke : i 'm as surprised as you are , but then again , i , uh -- i 'm only following orders . julian : well , this might be a first -- a transfer of territory without any bloodshed . duke : do n't misunderstand . this is just one round that you have won . this is far from over . ric lansing goes free and unharmed , and you and your boss , johnny zacchara , will get what you deserve . alexis : any news on ric ? anna : oh . no . um ... not yet . when there is , you 'll definitely be the first to know . alexis : if that 's your way of telling me to stop checking , that 's not gon na happen because the pcpd has n't exactly been forthcoming on the subject . anna : well , we 're trying to keep things quiet to keep ric safe , and the rest of his family . we are treating this with the utmost gravity . alexis : i certainly hope so . anna : i am allocating every resource , exhausting every avenue of investigation , and when that one fails , i move on to the next . we will find him . julian : quite the eager beaver , are n't you ? duke : sonny 's anxious to have his brother returned . julian : we 're happy to make that happen after we get what we want . duke : we 're acting in good faith . julian : you 're in no position to argue ... unless you place a lower value on ric 's life than sonny does . and i do n't think that would go over very well . so , you 'll get ric back as soon as i 'm satisfied that we 've got sonny -- or should i say sonny 's territory ? -- and not a moment before . jordan : hello . it 's nice to see you both out from behind bars . so , what 's the word , hmm ? is it time to get back to work ? franco : you really think that you and i -- we 're gon na go to separate prisons , i 'm never gon na see you again in my life ? that 's what you think ? nina : do n't you ? franco : [ chuckling ] no . you know what i think ? nina : stop talking . stop talking . stop talking . just -- i do n't -- please stop trying to make this better . it - it 's making my head hurt . i 'm so tired . franco : no , the drugs are making your head hurt , nina . they gave you drugs because they want to take the fight out of you . nina : let them take it . franco : no , no . do n't let them . all right , you know what ? go ahead . go ahead . le - let them . give them another two decades of your life while you 're at it . do n't let them win , nina . do n't let them have the last laugh . you can have a life . i can have a life . you and i -- we can have a life together . nina : i do n't understand how you do this . how do you think there 's still hope for us ? franco : there 's hope for us . i 'll go first . nina clay -- nina : nina reeves . franco : nina reeves , i promise you that i will stick by you no matter what . and i know that i have broken a lot of -- i 've broken every promise i 've ever made in my life . and it does n't seem to be working so well for me , so i 'm gon na change that . and , um ... things are gon na be okay . [ keys jangling ] franco : you 'll see . [ door opens ] alexis : nina ? nina : yes ? alexis : i 'm alexis davis . your brother sent me . i 'm here to help . jason : how could i remember something that i did n't do ? patrick : well , your injuries were extensive to say the least . your scan showed prior signs of brain surgery . both could be messing with your perception and memory . we could run some more tests , if you 'd like . jason : would they be any different from the tests i 've already had ? patrick : the fact that they were done in last three months -- probably not . jason : then it seems like a waste of your time to run yet more tests that i can not pay for . patrick : have you ever thought about seeing a therapist , jake ? dr. collins is the best in the business . jason : a psychiatrist ? patrick : he 's had a lot of success working with patients , helping their memory loss using hypnotherapy . jason : i do n't know if that 's the way i want to go . patrick : well , that 's your prerogative , but in my professional opinion , i highly recommend you sit down with him . jason : highly , huh ? patrick : look , truth is we do n't know who you are . jason : but if you had to guess ? patrick : i would guess that teacher or stockbroker are n't on your résumé . you 're in great physical shape . you 'd have to be to recover the way you did . jason : so , that somehow makes me a criminal . patrick : i 'm not saying you 're a bad guy , jake , but here in port charles , we have a high organized - crime presence , and you were found wandering route 31 in the middle of the night , so i would say that it 's a possibility . jason : you know what ? uh ... thank you , but i - i do n't think i - i need this . you know , the more i think about it , i was remembering something that did n't actually happen . someone just ... put it in my mind . sam : jake helped him escape . all i want is to bring him to justice . elizabeth : [ sighs ] okay . this conversation is getting us nowhere . i 'm gon na go . fair warning . sam : please . elizabeth : if you keep making trouble for jake , dragging his name through the mud , we 'll be forced to sue you for harassment . sam : [ chuckles ] did you hear yourself ? you just said `` we . `` so -- so you and jake -- it 's `` we `` now ? elizabeth : i 'm not screwing around , sam . sam : neither am i , elizabeth . you do what you have to do . i know i will . anna : where are you , ric ? what have they done with you ?

[ chuckles ] julian : maybe . i choose to believe it 's just 'cause you 're that good . jordan : well , good . i 'm glad to hear it , 'cause i am just itching to get back in the game . so tell me -- is there -- is there actually money to be made or ... ? julian : a lot , actually . jordan : ah , excellent . so , loop me in . loop me in . i want to know everything that i missed . duke : well , i knew it was a long shot -- requesting that julian hand over ric . shawn : had to try . what now ? duke : i 'll string julian along , give him the impression that i 'm complying with johnny 's wishes . well , god willing , that will give you enough time to find ric . jason : thanks for hearing me out . patrick : well , i 'm not sure i did any good . jason : well , actually , it helped a lot -- talking to a professional . patrick : it would help more to talk to dr . collins . jason : yeah , no need , but , uh , thanks . patrick : okay . jason : hey . elizabeth : hey . i 'm just dropping off my toys for tots donation . jason : that 's very cool . elizabeth : did i just see you with patrick ? jason : yeah , i was hoping he could help with the whole memory thing . elizabeth : and ... ? jason : unfortunately , there 's not a lot he can do . i might just have to live with the possibility that i may never remember who i was . sam : deny it all you want , elizabeth . jake is not a good guy . and i 'm gon na prove it . nina : j ? j sent you ? alexis : j ? nina : nathan . sorry , that 's -- his name is nathan . alexis : yes , your brother made quite a case for you . franco : told you so . alexis : i told him that i will do what i can to try to keep you out of prison . nina : wow . uh , i 'm really shocked . uh ... i - i thought that , um , j had written me off , i mean , after all the lies that i told . alexis : your brother loves you . nina : i guess . alexis : it must be nice to know that there 's still someone looking out for you . nina : it is nice . alexis : well , all right . so , all we need to do now is for you to consent to my representation , and then we 'll get down to the business of defending you . nina : okay , um , thank you . it 's really nice to have you on my team . thank you very much . um , but i 'll sign that only on one condition . alexis : well , that 's a first . what condition would that be ? nina : that you represent my friend franco . nathan : hey , it 's nathan . alexis was n't able to help . and the judge is not gon na let maxie see her daughter because of my screw - up . i got to fix this , okay , and i ca n't do this without you .
