[ scene_break ] brad : hey , katie , are you still alive in there ? no , really . are you okay ? because i 'm getting a little worried here . this has nothing to do with reindeer . this is hormones . you 're -- katie : no , do n't , do n't . please do n't say it . brad : what 's wrong ? katie : it 's not working . i 'm not pregnant . brad : yet . you 're not pregnant , yet . katie : we 're a failure , brad . brad : hardly . we just got started . we 've been working on this project , what , for how long ? we 've barely gotten good at it . so , i 'm not going to let you throw in the towel . katie : you sound like you 're coaching little league . brad : would you stop ? look , everything -- it 's going to be fine . it 's like -- it 's like working out . the hardest part is getting to the gym . once you 're there , you feel better . katie : it 's nothing like that . brad : uh - huh . the hardest part is getting from dressed to undressed . and , you know , once you 're naked , you 'll feel much , much better . so -- come on , peretti . katie : i 'm not in the mood . brad : well , you know what , neither am i . but i will rise to the occasion for you , of course . katie : i had trouble getting pregnant when i was married to mike . and i just thought in that instance , it was probably a good thing . but maybe there 's something really wrong with me . brad : there is nothing wrong with you . katie : we 've done everything right . we timed it perfectly . statistically , i should be pregnant . if it 's not working -- brad : i 'm not letting you give up . katie : and everybody thinks that what we 're doing is a huge mistake . brad : vienna does n't . she loves the idea . katie : well , jack and carly do . brad : jack and carly ? did you honestly just say `` jack and carly `` ? they got their own agenda . jack knows how much you want to have a kid . so every time he tries to talk you out of it , that 's just him being selfish . forget about me and jack and everyone else who thinks they know what 's best for your life . this is -- we 're talking about your dreams here . and if you wait around for some guy to come along and make that happen , you 're going to miss the window entirely . do you really want to go through the rest of your life without having kids ? [ scene_break ] carly : i was n't talking about a romantic christmas eve in front of a fire wrapping presents and drinking eggnog . i am not that pathetic . but christmas is everything to children . and i would like to give them some nice memories so that when they 're older -- jack : when they 're older , they 'll see it was all a show , carly . parker already sees it . so the answer is no . i 'm sorry . we ca n't give the kids the wrong signal . especially sage . carly : she 'll be crushed . jack : and when she wakes up on christmas morning expecting to see a happy family all wrapped up with a ribbon under a tree , how do you think she 's going to feel when she finds out it 's just a doll instead ? carly : it 's christmas . the only thing better than being a kid on christmas is being a parent . you wo n't let the kids anywhere near the house . now , i can handle my christmas being ruined . but sage , it 's different for her . she needs to know she 's loved . she needs to know she 's part of a family . especially at christmas . [ scene_break ] [ sofie screams ] aaron : she sounds like she 's in a lot of pain , ali . alison : the doctors will take care of her , aaron , okay ? aaron : i know that , i know that . but it just feels like there 's something wrong .

[ scene_break ] katie : maybe this is god just telling me i 'd be a terrible mother . brad : he would n't say that . he 'd be wrong anyway . do n't over think this . you know what you want , so do n't give up at the first speed bump . just because you 're not pregnant now does n't mean you wo n't be soon . maybe the test was wrong . katie : i took five . brad : we can do this . we 're good , you and me . you ca n't deny that . you know that we have the right stuff . katie : yeah , i know , we 're good together . in bed , at least . and if i 'm not getting pregnant , then what 's the point ? brad : well , i would say -- i could say , you know , fun , but we have to think -- we have to think , you know , beyond that . this is going to happen . you wan na know why ? because bratie rules . katie : who ? brad : bratie . bratie . yeah , we need a handle . like brangelina , bennifer , tomkat . you know , it was either bratie or kad . katie : well , then now , it 's nothing . because this is just -- it was n't meant to be . it 's over . brad : do i get a say in this ? katie : no , brad , you do n't . i 'm sorry . you should just go . [ scene_break ] jack : how about this ? you can have the children for christmas eve as long as kit and sam are nowhere near the house . carly : not a problem . thank you . jack : christmas eve day -- they come back here to sleep . i have them all christmas day . carly : what if they slept at my place and i brought them over -- jack : christmas eve day , carly . that 's it . take it or leave it . carly : okay . no , that 's good , actually . it 'll be like having two christmases , right ? an embarrassment of riches . oh , sage . sage : mommy . jack : wow , somebody looks beautiful . sage : i 'm the christmas angel . i make all your wishes come true ! carly : well , my christmas wish has already come true . i get to spend christmas eve day with my three favorite children . sage : are you coming , too , daddy ? jack : well , i do n't want you to get sick of me , you know ? sage : we ca n't get sick of you . jack : oh . you know , i 've got to get to work early . so , do you think you could take sage to school ? carly : it 'd be my pleasure . sage : can we get donuts on the way ? carly : oh , shh , shh , shh -- do n't give all of our secrets away . you go put on your school clothes and we 'll see if we have time , okay ? jack : donuts , huh ? carly : you handled that well . jack : i 'd do anything for my kids . and i know you would , too .

jason : yeah . carly : you ca n't fix this ? there 's no other way ? jason : we agreed to talk to the lawyers . no one 's gon na contest anything . it should be a very simple process . carly : okay , josslyn , honey , we need to go . jason : what are you doing ? carly : i 'm gon na go talk to sam . jason : no , you 're not . it 's okay , josslyn . keep drawing . see , this is exactly why i wanted to talk to you . carly : so you could restrain me ? jason : i want to thank you . i appreciate everything you did . carly : i did n't do anything . jason : you were happy for me . when things started to fall apart , you tried to help me repair it . carly : because i love you . you 're my best friend , and i would do anything in the world for you . you know that . jason : i know that . do not try to fix this . just let it happen . carly : you know what kills me is that sam swore up and down that she could accept you and your life no matter what , and the first time something goes wrong , she takes off . jason : just stop . carly : no ! because you 're a good man . and sam should have faith in you . she should have known that you were gon na love that baby instead of shacking up with john mcbain . jason : i do n't want to talk about it . carly : you should want to talk about it . 'cause sam 's a victim . sam 's always a victim . let 's feel sorry for sam ! jason : we made the choice to stop hurting each other . when something 's broken this badly , you just got to let it go . carly : but you love her , jason . regardless of whether you should or i think she 's right for you , you love her . so do you want to give up ? steve : so my mother 's accomplice was jason morgan ? luke : no , jason voorhees . steve : who ? luke : tall , wears a hockey mask , carries a machete . steve : you mean from `` friday the 13th . `` luke : yeah . that 's the one . steve : so my mother 's accomplice wore a hockey mask and carried a machete . luke : which he used to split open a pineapple . steve : so why wear a mask ? luke : he did n't want me to see his face . todd : i 'm the one with the problem ? i have a problem ? heather : yeah . if you ca n't get me released , i have no choice . i 'll have to let my fingers do the walking . i 'm sure i 've got samantha 's number around here somewhere . todd : fine . you go ahead . but you 're only hurting tea . heather : yes . tea will lose her baby , and , well , she 'll probably hate you forever . but you 're used to that , are n't you ? todd : [ clears throat ] heather : and i suppose i 'll end up locked up here forever . but i 'm used to that , too . and you 'll be arrested for kidnapping . but you 've been in prison before . is n't that right , todd ? only this time you 're gon na go away for a lot longer . todd : what is it that you expect me to do ? heather : you figure it out . i certainly ca n't stay here . i mean , i have get to the people that i love . todd : you do n't really think that anybody wants to see you . heather : i 've made mistakes . i understand that . but i have to try to make it up to luke and steven lars . todd : you shot luke in the back ! heather : well , love does mean never having to say you 're sorry . todd : and steven lars ' girlfriend -- you shot her up with lsd ! she 's probably running naked through the woods right now , looking for a drum circle ! no , that 's actually -- yeah , that -- that 'd be -- heather : are you suggesting that they wo n't forgive me ? todd : i 'm saying that what you 've done might require more than , you know , a `` say it with flowers `` kind of apology . heather : i 'm steven lars ' mother . todd : oh , boy . heather : he needs me . no one can take care of steven lars the way i can . no one would go to the lengths that i have . i 've done everything to protect him . i saved his medical career . no , i saved his life . he 'd be rotting in a jail in memphis if it were n't for me . todd : wait a minute . what did you just say ? heather : i was simply just trying to explain the depths of a mother 's love . but i could hardly expect you to understand that . todd : [ laughs ] heather : i know that steven lars will forgive me . after everything i 've done for him , he has to . todd : because , um , [ chuckles ] you made it look like some woman -- maggie wurth -- killed a man in memphis . heather : with a brilliantly composed suicide note , if i do say so myself . todd : oh , go ahead . say so yourself . [ laughs ] but now the whole world knows that maggie wurth did n't write that letter , and so the whole world knows that she did n't eighty - six that patient . heather : what are you getting at ? todd : well , you know , the cops -- they love to arrest people . so , uh , i 'm sure now that they 're reopening the case , they will go back to looking after the first suspect that they had , your beloved steven lars . steve : so , my mother 's accomplice wearing the mask -- you never saw his face ? luke : nope . just a hockey mask . lulu : dr. lee is running a little late , but she knows i 'm here . dante : all right . i just went and checked on my mom . she 's still sleeping . but , uh , you want to go see your dad ? lulu : yeah , just , uh , remember . it 's our secret . dante : yeah , i know . i 'll keep it between the three of us . i will . lulu : okay . dante : i mean it . lulu : okay . dante : all right . lulu : knock - knock . luke : hi . steve : hey . perfect timing . i was just gon na go check on olivia . dante : oh , she 's sound asleep . steve : good . good . rest is the best medicine in this place . why do n't you spend some time with your dad ? dante : hey , i 'll be right back . hey , steve . steve : yeah ? what 's going on ? dante : have the memphis police contacted you ? steve : not yet . dante : i have n't said anything because of my mother 's situation , but that stuff 's all gon na have to come out . steve : yeah , i understand . dante : all right . steve : dante ? dante : yeah ? steve : make sure luke tells you about the accomplice . lulu : what accomplice ? luke : heather webber 's partner in crime . todd : is n't it funny -- and i do n't mean like funny `` ha - ha . `` i mean funny `` ah `` that steven lars has n't been arrested already since , you know , the memphis police department -- they were ready to prosecute before you came up with your -- you had a word for it . what was your scheme ? what did you call it ? brilliant ! your brilliant scheme ! heather : nothing could happen to steven lars . i will not allow it . todd : yeah , well , there 's probably nothing to worry about . i 'm sure that the memphis police department 's real busy , you know , eating donuts and going to graceland . but they could open the case again , you know , eventually . heather : you really think the police will come after steven lars again ? todd : it 's just a matter of time , you know . and then your precious baby boy will be just like you and just like me -- locked up forever . heather : no . that ca n't happen . sam : you know how hard it was for me to marry jason . i was only able to do it because of how much i loved him and how strong i thought we were together . [ sniffles ] i thought we were gon na be married forever . alexis : sweetie , i get it . you just started thinking about this . you still have time to change your mind . sam : i know . no matter how much i want things to go back to the way they were -- my marriage is broken . no amount of trying is gon na be able to fix that . alexis : is john mcbain a part of this ? sam : yeah , mom . obviously . i mean , i do n't think that john set out to hurt my marriage intentionally . i mean , he did n't even know me before he got here . but , yeah , there 's this connection between us , and because of that , it provoked jason . and what he did from it i wo n't ever be able to forgive him . alexis : but what if john went back to llanview and was n't at the rendezvous motel ? sam : it 's still too late for me and jason . i mean , that 's what we talked about yesterday . he 's sorry . i know he is . he 's truly sorry . but i ca n't get past it , mom . i miss my baby so much and the pain is so deep that every time i look in jason 's eyes , i see the guy who abandoned me when i needed him the most . alexis : i 'm sorry , sweetie . sam : i mean , it 's over . i ca n't believe it . i ca n't believe we 're getting a divorce . jason : there 's nothing left to fight for . you know , what sam and i had is , uh -- it 's gone , carly . carly : i 'm sorry . jason : it 's okay . carly : no , it 's not okay . you do n't deserve this . you do n't deserve this . hey ! [ chuckles ] look , i 'm sorry that i got really loud and emotional there , but jason 's just kind of sad right now , and i was trying to make him feel better . want to give jason a hug ? yeah ? [ chuckles ] jason : ah . carly : there you go . jason : thank you . i feel better already . carly : yes . yes , you 're a good girl . ooh , what -- what 's that ? what happened ? ewen : now , what have you got in here ? jerry : can i help you with that ? watch out , wishful thinking ewen : yes . i need to know what you injected alexis and josslyn with . jerry : oh , why do n't you take it to the lab , have it analyzed ? but i could spare your hospital the expense . give it to me . there we go . mm . ah . very refreshing . perhaps you 've heard of it . it 's called h2o . ewen : very funny . jerry : you were the one who wanted to know what was in the vial . ewen : and i - it 's nothing but water ? what is this , a test ? jerry : think of it as an educational exercise . see , i knew you 'd be blundering about , looking for answers , so this is a safe and sane way to let you know that i 'm always one step ahead of you . ewen : and i 'm just supposed to blindly follow your orders ? jerry : it would make things simpler . time is of the essence , and i ca n't have you slowing me down . alexis : i completely understand . i also understand why you do n't want to drag this out . so to answer your question , yes , i will represent you . sam : thank you . i just -- i want to keep it as simple as possible . alexis : how does jason feel about this ? sam : um , he 's gon na have diane represent him . alexis : yeah , i do n't know if that 's such a good idea . she does n't do amicable . sam : she 'll do whatever jason says . i just hope he does n't force me to take alimony or a settlement or something . i do n't want any of that . alexis : i 'm just sorry that you have to go through this at all , after the baby . sam : i 'll be okay . alexis : you are always so strong . i just wish that you did n't have to be . sam : [ chuckles ] that makes two of us . alexis : all right , listen . so , your fairy godmother has the day off . i 'm gon na do my best to fill in , try to make this divorce as painless for you as possible . sam : okay . thank -- thank you . i appreciate that . i mean , i - i appreciate you . carly : sweetie , how did you get this red mark on your arm ? it was n't here yesterday . did you bump it on something ? jason : maybe she got bit by something when she was playing outside . carly : it does n't look like a mosquito bite . i wonder what it could be . i 'm not trying to overreact , but she 's still on antirejection meds , and the doctor said i should be really , really careful , so -- jason : okay , then maybe we should take her -- to the hospital . carly : okay . hey , let 's go for a ride , okay ? yeah ? come on . lulu : so , this guy wore a hockey mask , and you did n't think to mention that before ? luke : [ chuckles ] honey , i just -- i just remembered . i 've been sort of out of it . lulu : okay . dante : okay , so you do n't know what he looked like , but did he say anything to you ? luke : no , the conversation was limited to monosyllabic grunts , and i was n't really paying that much attention . i was focused on the food and water that he brought . lulu : it 's bad enough that i did n't know you were missing , but to think of you starving -- luke : actually -- dante : you remember something ? luke : yeah , i was trying to negotiate with him , you know , trying to get him to let me go . and for a while , i thought he might . dante : like he was showing remorse ? luke : well , he was showing some kind of humanity behind the mask . i mentioned that i have a daughter and that i wanted to get back to her , i needed to see her again , and -- that 's when he kind of softened up . i mean , i do n't know . it was almost like maybe he 's got a daughter , too . lulu : hmm , maybe that 's helpful . dante : if he was telling the truth . this guy works for heather webber . it 's not really , you know , a reliable source . luke : no , all i know is that when i mentioned lulu -- i thought he was gon na let me go . lulu : you were really thinking about me when you were tied up . luke : you find that surprising ? lulu : i guess i just do n't expect you to be sentimental . luke : i do n't think it 's sentimental to think of the people you love when you 're dying . you 're my only daughter , baby . you 're on my mind more than you know . lulu : [ chuckles ] heather : i wo n't let them arrest steven lars . they are not sending my baby to prison . todd : it 's okay , all right ? you know , do n't worry about it . they probably have their hands full down there . heather : so , the whole case might just fall through the cracks . todd : well , there 's a lot of cracks , you know . and a lot of files . and , you know , it 's easy for them probably to lose track . heather : right . i 've seen the way the p.d . operates in this town . it 's a miracle they get anything done . todd : unless , you know , someone were to point them in the right direction -- you know , somebody who had influence and a lot of money , let 's say somebody who owned a newspaper . heather : what are you saying ? todd : oh , no , no . i 'm only speaking hypothetically here , but , you know , hypothetically speaking , what if there were a hypothetical newspaperman who hypothetically would , uh , you know , put pressure on the memphis police department to arrest steven lars ? heather : you would n't ! todd : oh , well , i 'm only speaking hypothetically here , but , again , hypothetically , what if there were another hypothetical newspaperman who would put money in the right pockets and make sure that steven 's case actually fell through those cracks and that the whole thing went away entirely ? i mean , i know that we 're only speaking hypothetically here , but -- tell me something . what would you do ? sweetie , you have to scrub it first . carly : steve ? do you have a minute ? steve : sure . what 's going on ? carly : i may be overreacting , but can you take a look at josslyn 's arm ? steve : yeah . let me see . jerry : are you gon na join me , doctor ? it 's oolong from down under . it 's very soothing . ewen : i 'm sure it is . you know , i do n't care , okay , what games you 're playing . you -- you did not have me kidnap josslyn jacks to bring her all the way out here to inject her and alexis davis with just plain water . jerry : you know , it 's astonishing how much my niece has grown up . she 's gon na be very tall , like her father . ewen : i do n't care . i will not take part in hurting a child . jerry : look -- you took an oath . right ? i give you my word that no harm will befall josslyn or alexis . satisfied ? ewen : no . jerry : i can understand . most people in this town think that my word is n't worth much . [ both laugh ] sam : thank you for everything . alexis : you do n't ever have to thank me , my darling . sam : i knew you would say that . really , what you 're doing , it means so much . alexis : you do have to let me go , though , if you need me to get to the office so that i can file the appropriate paperwork . sam : whoa . you okay ? alexis : uh -- yow . i do n't really feel so good at the moment . [ sighs ] sam : mom ? mom ? heather : is that a threat ? todd : you mean , will i start pressuring the memphis police department to arrest steven lars , the way you 've been threatening to tell sam the truth about what i did to her baby ? heather : yes . todd : i 'm only speaking hypothetically . [ clears throat ] but just so you know , you 're not the only one in the loony bin right now who has some power . heather : well , then , mr. manning , what are your terms ? todd : heather , i ca n't get you out of here . but i can help your son . heather : how ? todd : well , first , you have to promise to not call sam . and then if you love steven lars as much as you say you do -- heather : and then what ? todd : well , i 'll keep him out of trouble . heather : how ? w - what do you mean ? todd : you just stay here and macramé pot holders , and i 'll make sure that no one knows that steven lars killed a patient . heather : i 'd do anything to save steven lars . even stay in this miserable place . todd : so we 're agreed , then . it ends here ? heather : agreed . dante : so , who would work for heater ? lulu : someone as crazy as she is . luke : or someone she 's got something on . dante : or a professional . luke : what about that guy that looked like anthony , the one that she claimed she met on the internet ? luke : does he have kids ? dante : [ sighs ] look , there 's a file on archie boles at the station . but this internet date she had -- that 'll be tougher to track down . but if you ask me , both these guys are just down - and - outs working for heather for the money . luke : well , i 'd say the guy with the machete is pretty well off . dante : how could you tell ? he was wearing a mask . luke : he was wearing expensive shoes . todd : uh , heather ? no one needs to know about our little association .	dante and lulu wake up and call each other `` mommy `` and `` dad . `` dante says it 's the best mistake ever and that he ca n't wait to tell everybody . lulu does n't thing that 's a good idea until after she confirm it with a doctor . steve overhears luke advising anna not to listen to heather 's lies . steve asks luke what his mother did . luke says heather played one last mind game on anna before getting shipped back to ferncliff . steve apologizes to luke and says he is glad that both luke and olivia will be fine and that his mother is locked up where she ca n't hurt anyone else . luke reveals that heather had an accomplice wearing a hockey mask bring him food and water . dante and lulu go to visit luke . dante tells steve that the memphis police are going to be contacting him . steve tells dante to ask luke about the accomplice . luke retells his story to lulu and dante . he remembers that the accomplice seemed as if was going to let him go when he talked about lulu . he wonders if the man has a daughter , too . lulu says anyone who would help heather has to be crazy . luke says heather might have something on the man . lulu wonders about the man that gave heather an alibi for the anthony zacchara case . dante thinks both men were probably in it for the money . luke says the one with the machete was wearing expensive shoes . todd visits heather at ferncliff . heather says that if he does n't get her out of there , then she will call sam and tell her that her baby is alive and living in llanview and todd will go to prison in llanview . he reviews her laundry list of crimes and says that even he ca n't get her out of it . she says she has to get back to the people she loves . he says no one will want to see her . she tells him that steven lars will forgive her after she has done so much to protect him . she mentions keeping steve out of prison in memphis . todd puts it together that heather framed maggie wurth . he tells her that since the police know that maggie did n't write her suicide note , they will resume investigating steve and then he will be locked up forever just like the two of them . he tells her that a hypothetical rich newspaper man could either point the memphis police in steve 's direction or he could make the case go away . he tells her that if she stays in ferncliff and does n't call sam , he will save steve . she agrees .	<s>[INST] dante : [ groans ] morning already ? lulu : mm - hmm . you should get used to waking up early , dad . dante : it was n't a dream , was it ? lulu : we 're having a baby ! dante : o - o - okay . [ both laugh ] luke : hey , slim , i 'm going stir - crazy in here . i have n't seen you since heather told you that robin was alive . let me know how you 're doing , will you ? and please do n't buy into heather 's lies . [ door opens ] steve : so , what 's my mother done now ? heather : at least tell me what 's going on here . i mean , who 's here to see me ? could it be luke ? could it be steven lars ? am i forgi -- ven ? todd : no . no . and no . sam : [ sighs ] jason : [ sighs ] [ clears throat ] carly : hey ! what are you doing here ? come in . come in . so good to see you . jason : hey , joss . looks great . carly : [ chuckles ] i know it 's a beautiful day and she should be out playing , but i 'm not letting you out of my sight for one minute . jason : what happened ? carly : last night , she went missing . alexis : [ exhales ] coffee . sam : oh , there 's -- there 's more in the kitchen . you okay ? alexis : i 'm tired . i think i got enough sleep last night , but i 'm so tired , and i do n't know why . sam : well , you did have a long day . and what happened at wyndemere ? the security company called and said the alarm was tripped . everything okay ? alexis : actually , i do n't think things are okay at all . jerry : [ coughing ] [ door slams ] jerry : oh , dr. keenan . why are you back so early ? ewen : we need to talk about the sick business that went down here last night . dante : breakfast is ready . lulu : i hope you 're not expecting me to drink that . dante : yeah , you got to get your recommended daily allowance of calcium . lulu : i do n't like milk . dante : well , but the baby does , so you got to drink up , mama . maybe we could lay off on the `` mama , `` `` dad `` stuff . dante : well , sure , but , you know , you started it . lulu : yeah , i just think i might need to ease into it . we 're gon na be somebody 's parents . dante : i know . some kid is gon na be completely dependent on us . lulu : i 'm starting to get freaked out . dante : well , i 'm scared . it 's scary . i mean , parents do n't know how to do it the first time , right ? it 's -- it 's all on - the - job training . lulu : i just do n't want to mess him up . dante : or her . lulu : you have a preference ? dante : just that she 's as sweet -- or he -- as sweet and as smart and beautiful as their mother -- you -- are . lulu : or like you . sam : what was the problem at wyndemere ? anything missing ? alexis : you know what ? i do n't know . i think i fainted . sam : wait . you think ? what happened ? alexis : i went over to wyndemere . i called out for security . the next thing i know , i wake up on the -- on the sofa . must have gotten dizzy and passed out . sam : well , how do you feel now ? alexis : i 'm really tired . sam : okay . did you have the security company call you a doctor ? alexis : i never saw them . sam : wait . wyndemere security company called you to say that the alarm was tripped , but they never showed up ? alexis : i do n't know why nikolas has an alarm system in the first place . anyone who wants to row their boat over to that house of horrors is welcome to whatever they can fit in their boat . sam : you still do n't know what tripped the alarm . alexis : i have no idea . and you know what ? i 'm chalking the whole thing up to the place is cursed . ewen : a - are you going to answer me ? jerry : oh , i 'm sorry . i did n't realize you asked a question . so , what was it about last night 's events that troubles you ? ewen : troubles me , uh -- all of it . that you drugged alexis davis and your own niece . jerry : oh , come on . josslyn just had a little adventure . it 's in the blood . it 's in the family . both my parents were quite the risk takers . i mean , lady jane still is . she 's trekking through the jungle , looking for orchids . jax , i mean , has never met a mountain he did n't want to climb or a wave he did n't want to surf . josslyn was just -- honoring a family tradition . ewen : family tradition , eh ? is that by being snatched from her bed and dragged to an abandoned house in the middle of the night and drugged by her own uncle ? jerry : well , she 's back with her mother , is n't she ? last night 's events was nothing more than a pleasant dream to josslyn . jason : what time did you realize josslyn was missing ? how long was she gone , and where did you find her ? carly : i went to check on her last night , and she was n't in her bed , and johnny and i went looking for her . jason : johnny was here ? carly : johnny was here , and thank god he was here , 'cause i would have lost my mind . jason : who found her ? carly : johnny found her , and he had nothing to do with her disappearance . he was with me the whole time . jason : where did johnny find her ? carly : out by the swing set . she must have been sleepwalking . jason : has she ever done that before ? carly : no . no . and i hope to god she never does it again . jason : are you sure she got out there by herself ? carly : why ? what are you thinking ? jason : [ sighs ] you know , jax . maybe he wanted to visit her without anybody knowing . carly : but jax would n't take her outside . jason : well , i mean , if he missed her and wanted to see her -- yeah . carly : okay . all right . hey , girl . [ chuckles ] um , you know last night , when you were outside and johnny found you ? was there anybody else with you ? it 's okay . you can tell me . dante : we 're gon na love this kid , and that 's all anyone can ask . lulu : you 're right . dante : are you still freaked out ? lulu : yeah . but i did n't know i could be so happy about something i did n't even know i wanted . dante : right ? it 's like the best accident that could ever happen . i mean , you heard me . i was ready to shout it from the rooftops . lulu : you kind of did . dante : i ca n't help it . i just wanted everyone to know . lulu : actually , i do n't think that 's a good idea . luke : heather did n't go to ferncliff quietly . she tried one final mind game on anna . i 'd tell you all the details , but you probably do n't want to hear them . steve : you 're probably right about that . [ sighs ] i owe you an apology . luke : if it 's for all the blood you people have been siphoning of , apology accepted . steve : if i had n't agreed to supervise my mother , she never would have been released from ferncliff . luke : you screwed up . the doctors at ferncliff screwed up worse . steve : i 've been wanting to say something to you ever since you were released from i.c.u . i 've been so busy with olivia -- luke : how is she doing ? steve : she 's on the mend . i told her how sorry i am . i wanted to do the same to you . luke : well , from what i hear , you saved my life . so -- we 'll call it even . steve : i 'm just glad you and olivia should both make a full recovery and that my mother is locked up in ferncliff , where we wo n't have to worry about her hurting anyone else . luke : maybe . but what about mother 's little helper ? heather : todd manning . and i thought you were avoiding me . todd : what ever gave you that idea ? heather : you do n't return my calls . i leave you messages . todd : do you ? really ? heather : mm . todd : oh . yeah , you 're right . there 's only 97 of them , though . heather : it 's not healthy , you know . todd : what ? being away from you ? [ chuckles ] helps my well - being . heather : i was referring to your state of denial . we talk about it often in group . you can never get rid of your problems by sticking your head in the sand . todd : so where do you stick your head ? [ chuckles ] i 'm sorry . where were we ? heather : i would n't be so cavalier if i were you . i may be locked up in this hell hole , but i can still ruin your life . todd : all right . what is it that you want ? heather : my terms remain the same . todd : you want me to get you out of here . heather : if you do n't , you give me no choice . i 'll have to call samantha and tell her that that baby of hers is alive and well and living in llanview . alice the cat is about to explore . dante : you do n't want to tell people about the baby yet ? lulu : at least until we have something to tell . i have n't even seen a doctor yet . dante : you said that test was , like , 99 % accurate , right ? lulu : yeah , but , still , i do n't want to jinx it . dante : since when are you superstitious ? lulu : i just do n't want to rush into anything . i do n't want to give my dad an unnecessary heart attack . dante : all right . yeah . yeah . you have a point there . i do n't want to flip my mother into overdrive when she 's just getting back on her feet . lulu : so you agree . we should get the facts straight before we say anything . dante : actually , you know , i think -- i think that 's a great idea , you know , keeping it between us -- just our little family . it 's like the three of us against the world . lulu : [ chuckles ] luke : for all we know , that spud could still be out there , doing your mother 's bidding . steve : okay , i have no idea what you 're talking about . luke : well -- [ chuckles ] moving bodies around , terrorizing people , holding me hostage , writing a newspaper column -- your mother had a lot on her plate . at some point , she had to delegate . steve : are you saying my mother had an accomplice ? todd : in case the doctors have n't explained this to you already , you 've been diagnosed as being not just a danger to yourself but to others . so no one -- not even me -- i ca n't get you out of here . heather : do n't underestimate yourself , todd . come on . remember when i was supposed to go to the big house for anthony zacchara 's murder ? hey , you got me out of that . you found me a look - alike , and you had him come on down to the station and give me an alibi . todd : no , i just paid the guy . you found him . heather : that 's true . i did . i can be quite brilliant at times . you know , i used to do very well on those standardized tests in school . you know the ones where you fill in the little dots ? todd : clearly they were n't testing for sanity . heather : your sarcasm can be very hurtful at times . but i have faith in you . i know you can get me out of here . todd : okay , let me walk you through this , and try with that fine mind of yours to grasp all the facts , okay ? when you killed anthony zacchara , the cops -- they could n't build a case against you . but they caught you red - handed . you shot a woman up with lsd . heather : yeah , well , her son is not a very objective witness . todd : you shot a guy . heather : by accident ! i love luke . todd : well , sure , nothing says love more than hog - tying you in a shack . luke spencer almost died in that fire . so did the police commissioner , after you hit her on the head and took her gun . that 's attempted murder and assault on a -- on a police officer with a british accent ! this is way , way beyond anything that i can clean up . heather : then i guess you 've got a problem . todd : okay . luke : at one point , when i was in that garden shed , turning into mulch , heather , apparently overbooked , sent a friend of hers to feed and water me . steve : i 'm sorry . i did n't know this . did you tell the police ? luke : i do n't know . i do n't -- i do n't think so . my head 's been pretty fuzzy , you know . steve : yeah , you 've been on some powerful medication . luke : thank you for that , by the way . steve : so you do n't remember anything . luke : well , i did n't . but i think it 's starting to come back to me . steve : do you know who my mother 's accomplice was ? luke : as a matter of fact , i do . it was jason . carly : you sure you did n't see anybody ? not even daddy ? i know you miss daddy . and i miss him , too . so if you talked to him , i would n't be upset with you . it would be okay , and you can tell me . jason : you know , whatever happened , she does n't remember . it 's okay . carly : it 's okay , baby . you can keep coloring . you 're doing a great job . [ sighs ] see ? it does n't make sense . jason : no , it does n't make any sense . but at least she seems okay . carly : thank god . so -- you did n't tell me what you 're doing here . jason : yeah , um -- i just wanted to tell you this in person . i did n't want you to hear it from somebody else . carly : this sounds bad . what 's going on ? jason : sam and i are , uh , getting a divorce . sam : sure you do n't want to go back to bed and rest up a little ? alexis : nah . i 'm good . i 'm gon na get down to the office and work on the restraining order . sam : [ sighs ] well , i know anything you can do , john will appreciate it . alexis : did he say where he 's staying ? sam : yes , he called and left a message and said he was staying at the rendezvous motel . alexis : good . i 'm glad he did n't go running back to llanview and he took my advice . in the meantime , i 'm gon na make this case my priority . sam : yeah . mom , i do n't want to overload you , but you 're about to have another client . me . jason and i are getting a divorce . ewen : i 'm sick of your riddles , jerry . what are in the vials ? jerry : well , you 're hardly in a position to interrogate me . ewen : i 'm your accomplice . i - if anything happens to them , i 'm looking at murder charges . jerry : oh , you already are . but not for josslyn or alexis . they wo n't feel any of the aftereffects after their time at wyndemere last night . ewen : so why those two ? jerry : why not ? ewen : what 's -- what 's the connection ? jerry : you see , it 's the little mysteries that keep life entertaining . but i can assure you , it will become clear very soon . lulu : thank you . so , dr. lee has a cancelation . we have an appointment in an hour . dante : wow . we get to find out everything there is to know about this little guy . lulu : or girl . dante : yeah . is dr. lee gon na be able to -- tell us what we 're gon na have ? lulu : uh , i do n't know . but i 'm sure she 'll be able to tell us my due date . dante : really ? you hear that , little one ? get to find out when we get to meet you . ewen : i took an oath , jerry , to first do no harm . jerry : but you 've already broken that oath , have n't you ? look , you need something a little more calming . so why do n't i make you a nice cup of tea , all right ? good . ewen : is n't there something easier to drug me with ? jerry : i 'm not going to drug you . i need you to be in full possession of your faculties if you 're gon na be of any use . also , it would be very helpful if you were n't always on the verge of a panic attack . so sit down , close your eyes , modulate your breathing , and i 'll make you a cuppa . all right , mate ? sam : jason came by yesterday . alexis : was john here ? sam : it got uncomfortable for a minute . alexis : how uncomfortable ? sam : well , john was upset about the restraining order and not being able to see his son and natalie , and i was comforting him and gave him a hug , and jason walked in right in the middle of it . alexis : this is n't why you 're getting divorced , is it ? sam : no , but he is n't exactly thrilled about it . alexis : well , i get that , but does n't he get that you might need someone to talk to ? sam : yeah , we talked about it . alexis : you and jason . sam : mm - hmm . we -- we did it yesterday . we talked about everything . alexis : and ? sam : and with the way things are now , the loss of the baby , i ca n't get past it . it 's just too much . alexis : you do n't even want to try ? sam : i have , mom . i ca n't get past what jason did . we agreed to have a divorce . will you take my case ? alexis : you know that i 'll do anything i can to help you . but you know once the paperwork gets filed and the lawyers get involved , a divorce has a life of its own . i want you to be very sure that this is what you want . carly : a divorce ? jason : yeah . carly : you ca n't fix this ? there 's no other way ? jason : we agreed to talk to the lawyers . no one 's gon na contest anything . it should be a very simple process . carly : okay , josslyn , honey , we need to go . jason : what are you doing ? carly : i 'm gon na go talk to sam . jason : no , you 're not . it 's okay , josslyn . keep drawing . see , this is exactly why i wanted to talk to you . carly : so you could restrain me ? jason : i want to thank you . i appreciate everything you did . carly : i did n't do anything . jason : you were happy for me . when things started to fall apart , you tried to help me repair it . carly : because i love you . you 're my best friend , and i would do anything in the world for you . you know that . jason : i know that . do not try to fix this . just let it happen . carly : you know what kills me is that sam swore up and down that she could accept you and your life no matter what , and the first time something goes wrong , she takes off . jason : just stop . carly : no ! because you 're a good man . and sam should have faith in you . she should have known that you were gon na love that baby instead of shacking up with john mcbain . jason : i do n't want to talk about it . carly : you should want to talk about it . 'cause sam 's a victim . sam 's always a victim . let 's feel sorry for sam ! jason : we made the choice to stop hurting each other . when something 's broken this badly , you just got to let it go . carly : but you love her , jason . regardless of whether you should or i think she 's right for you , you love her . so do you want to give up ? steve : so my mother 's accomplice was jason morgan ? luke : no , jason voorhees . steve : who ? luke : tall , wears a hockey mask , carries a machete . steve : you mean from `` friday the 13th . `` luke : yeah . that 's the one . steve : so my mother 's accomplice wore a hockey mask and carried a machete . luke : which he used to split open a pineapple . steve : so why wear a mask ? luke : he did n't want me to see his face . todd : i 'm the one with the problem ? i have a problem ? heather : yeah . if you ca n't get me released , i have no choice . i 'll have to let my fingers do the walking . i 'm sure i 've got samantha 's number around here somewhere . todd : fine . you go ahead . but you 're only hurting tea . heather : yes . tea will lose her baby , and , well , she 'll probably hate you forever . but you 're used to that , are n't you ? todd : [ clears throat ] heather : and i suppose i 'll end up locked up here forever . but i 'm used to that , too . and you 'll be arrested for kidnapping . but you 've been in prison before . is n't that right , todd ? only this time you 're gon na go away for a lot longer . todd : what is it that you expect me to do ? heather : you figure it out . i certainly ca n't stay here . i mean , i have get to the people that i love . todd : you do n't really think that anybody wants to see you . heather : i 've made mistakes . i understand that . but i have to try to make it up to luke and steven lars . todd : you shot luke in the back ! heather : well , love does mean never having to say you 're sorry . todd : and steven lars ' girlfriend -- you shot her up with lsd ! she 's probably running naked through the woods right now , looking for a drum circle ! no , that 's actually -- yeah , that -- that 'd be -- heather : are you suggesting that they wo n't forgive me ? todd : i 'm saying that what you 've done might require more than , you know , a `` say it with flowers `` kind of apology . heather : i 'm steven lars ' mother . todd : oh , boy . heather : he needs me . no one can take care of steven lars the way i can . no one would go to the lengths that i have . i 've done everything to protect him . i saved his medical career . no , i saved his life . he 'd be rotting in a jail in memphis if it were n't for me . todd : wait a minute . what did you just say ? heather : i was simply just trying to explain the depths of a mother 's love . but i could hardly expect you to understand that . todd : [ laughs ] heather : i know that steven lars will forgive me . after everything i 've done for him , he has to . todd : because , um , [ chuckles ] you made it look like some woman -- maggie wurth -- killed a man in memphis . heather : with a brilliantly composed suicide note , if i do say so myself . todd : oh , go ahead . say so yourself . [ laughs ] but now the whole world knows that maggie wurth did n't write that letter , and so the whole world knows that she did n't eighty - six that patient . heather : what are you getting at ? todd : well , you know , the cops -- they love to arrest people . so , uh , i 'm sure now that they 're reopening the case , they will go back to looking after the first suspect that they had , your beloved steven lars . steve : so , my mother 's accomplice wearing the mask -- you never saw his face ? luke : nope . just a hockey mask . lulu : dr. lee is running a little late , but she knows i 'm here . dante : all right . i just went and checked on my mom . she 's still sleeping . but , uh , you want to go see your dad ? lulu : yeah , just , uh , remember . it 's our secret . dante : yeah , i know . i 'll keep it between the three of us . i will . lulu : okay . dante : i mean it . lulu : okay . dante : all right . lulu : knock - knock . luke : hi . steve : hey . perfect timing . i was just gon na go check on olivia . dante : oh , she 's sound asleep . steve : good . good . rest is the best medicine in this place . why do n't you spend some time with your dad ? dante : hey , i 'll be right back . hey , steve . steve : yeah ? what 's going on ? dante : have the memphis police contacted you ? steve : not yet . dante : i have n't said anything because of my mother 's situation , but that stuff 's all gon na have to come out . steve : yeah , i understand . dante : all right . steve : dante ? dante : yeah ? steve : make sure luke tells you about the accomplice . lulu : what accomplice ? luke : heather webber 's partner in crime . todd : is n't it funny -- and i do n't mean like funny `` ha - ha . `` i mean funny `` ah `` that steven lars has n't been arrested already since , you know , the memphis police department -- they were ready to prosecute before you came up with your -- you had a word for it . what was your scheme ? what did you call it ? brilliant ! your brilliant scheme ! heather : nothing could happen to steven lars . i will not allow it . todd : yeah , well , there 's probably nothing to worry about . i 'm sure that the memphis police department 's real busy , you know , eating donuts and going to graceland . but they could open the case again , you know , eventually . heather : you really think the police will come after steven lars again ? todd : it 's just a matter of time , you know . and then your precious baby boy will be just like you and just like me -- locked up forever . heather : no . that ca n't happen . sam : you know how hard it was for me to marry jason . i was only able to do it because of how much i loved him and how strong i thought we were together . [ sniffles ] i thought we were gon na be married forever . alexis : sweetie , i get it . you just started thinking about this . you still have time to change your mind . sam : i know . no matter how much i want things to go back to the way they were -- my marriage is broken . no amount of trying is gon na be able to fix that . alexis : is john mcbain a part of this ? sam : yeah , mom . obviously . i mean , i do n't think that john set out to hurt my marriage intentionally . i mean , he did n't even know me before he got here . but , yeah , there 's this connection between us , and because of that , it provoked jason . and what he did from it i wo n't ever be able to forgive him . alexis : but what if john went back to llanview and was n't at the rendezvous motel ? sam : it 's still too late for me and jason . i mean , that 's what we talked about yesterday . he 's sorry . i know he is . he 's truly sorry . but i ca n't get past it , mom . i miss my baby so much and the pain is so deep that every time i look in jason 's eyes , i see the guy who abandoned me when i needed him the most . alexis : i 'm sorry , sweetie . sam : i mean , it 's over . i ca n't believe it . i ca n't believe we 're getting a divorce . jason : there 's nothing left to fight for . you know , what sam and i had is , uh -- it 's gone , carly . carly : i 'm sorry . jason : it 's okay . carly : no , it 's not okay . you do n't deserve this . you do n't deserve this . hey ! [ chuckles ] look , i 'm sorry that i got really loud and emotional there , but jason 's just kind of sad right now , and i was trying to make him feel better . want to give jason a hug ? yeah ? [ chuckles ] jason : ah . carly : there you go . jason : thank you . i feel better already . carly : yes . yes , you 're a good girl . ooh , what -- what 's that ? what happened ? ewen : now , what have you got in here ? jerry : can i help you with that ? watch out , wishful thinking ewen : yes . i need to know what you injected alexis and josslyn with . jerry : oh , why do n't you take it to the lab , have it analyzed ? but i could spare your hospital the expense . give it to me . there we go . mm . ah . very refreshing . perhaps you 've heard of it . it 's called h2o . ewen : very funny . jerry : you were the one who wanted to know what was in the vial . ewen : and i - it 's nothing but water ? what is this , a test ? jerry : think of it as an educational exercise . see , i knew you 'd be blundering about , looking for answers , so this is a safe and sane way to let you know that i 'm always one step ahead of you . ewen : and i 'm just supposed to blindly follow your orders ? jerry : it would make things simpler . time is of the essence , and i ca n't have you slowing me down . alexis : i completely understand . i also understand why you do n't want to drag this out . so to answer your question , yes , i will represent you . sam : thank you . i just -- i want to keep it as simple as possible . alexis : how does jason feel about this ? sam : um , he 's gon na have diane represent him . alexis : yeah , i do n't know if that 's such a good idea . she does n't do amicable . sam : she 'll do whatever jason says . i just hope he does n't force me to take alimony or a settlement or something . i do n't want any of that . alexis : i 'm just sorry that you have to go through this at all , after the baby . sam : i 'll be okay . alexis : you are always so strong . i just wish that you did n't have to be . sam : [ chuckles ] that makes two of us . alexis : all right , listen . so , your fairy godmother has the day off . i 'm gon na do my best to fill in , try to make this divorce as painless for you as possible . sam : okay . thank -- thank you . i appreciate that . i mean , i - i appreciate you . carly : sweetie , how did you get this red mark on your arm ? it was n't here yesterday . did you bump it on something ? jason : maybe she got bit by something when she was playing outside . carly : it does n't look like a mosquito bite . i wonder what it could be . i 'm not trying to overreact , but she 's still on antirejection meds , and the doctor said i should be really , really careful , so -- jason : okay , then maybe we should take her -- to the hospital . carly : okay . hey , let 's go for a ride , okay ? yeah ? come on . lulu : so , this guy wore a hockey mask , and you did n't think to mention that before ? luke : [ chuckles ] honey , i just -- i just remembered . i 've been sort of out of it . lulu : okay . dante : okay , so you do n't know what he looked like , but did he say anything to you ? luke : no , the conversation was limited to monosyllabic grunts , and i was n't really paying that much attention . i was focused on the food and water that he brought . lulu : it 's bad enough that i did n't know you were missing , but to think of you starving -- luke : actually -- dante : you remember something ? luke : yeah , i was trying to negotiate with him , you know , trying to get him to let me go . and for a while , i thought he might . dante : like he was showing remorse ? luke : well , he was showing some kind of humanity behind the mask . i mentioned that i have a daughter and that i wanted to get back to her , i needed to see her again , and -- that 's when he kind of softened up . i mean , i do n't know . it was almost like maybe he 's got a daughter , too . lulu : hmm , maybe that 's helpful . dante : if he was telling the truth . this guy works for heather webber . it 's not really , you know , a reliable source . luke : no , all i know is that when i mentioned lulu -- i thought he was gon na let me go . lulu : you were really thinking about me when you were tied up . luke : you find that surprising ? lulu : i guess i just do n't expect you to be sentimental . luke : i do n't think it 's sentimental to think of the people you love when you 're dying . you 're my only daughter , baby . you 're on my mind more than you know . lulu : [ chuckles ] heather : i wo n't let them arrest steven lars . they are not sending my baby to prison . todd : it 's okay , all right ? you know , do n't worry about it . they probably have their hands full down there . heather : so , the whole case might just fall through the cracks . todd : well , there 's a lot of cracks , you know . and a lot of files . and , you know , it 's easy for them probably to lose track . heather : right . i 've seen the way the p.d . operates in this town . it 's a miracle they get anything done . todd : unless , you know , someone were to point them in the right direction -- you know , somebody who had influence and a lot of money , let 's say somebody who owned a newspaper . heather : what are you saying ? todd : oh , no , no . i 'm only speaking hypothetically here , but , you know , hypothetically speaking , what if there were a hypothetical newspaperman who hypothetically would , uh , you know , put pressure on the memphis police department to arrest steven lars ? heather : you would n't ! todd : oh , well , i 'm only speaking hypothetically here , but , again , hypothetically , what if there were another hypothetical newspaperman who would put money in the right pockets and make sure that steven 's case actually fell through those cracks and that the whole thing went away entirely ? i mean , i know that we 're only speaking hypothetically here , but -- tell me something . what would you do ? sweetie , you have to scrub it first . carly : steve ? do you have a minute ? steve : sure . what 's going on ? carly : i may be overreacting , but can you take a look at josslyn 's arm ? steve : yeah . let me see . jerry : are you gon na join me , doctor ? it 's oolong from down under . it 's very soothing . ewen : i 'm sure it is . you know , i do n't care , okay , what games you 're playing . you -- you did not have me kidnap josslyn jacks to bring her all the way out here to inject her and alexis davis with just plain water . jerry : you know , it 's astonishing how much my niece has grown up . she 's gon na be very tall , like her father . ewen : i do n't care . i will not take part in hurting a child . jerry : look -- you took an oath . right ? i give you my word that no harm will befall josslyn or alexis . satisfied ? ewen : no . jerry : i can understand . most people in this town think that my word is n't worth much . [ both laugh ] sam : thank you for everything . alexis : you do n't ever have to thank me , my darling . sam : i knew you would say that . really , what you 're doing , it means so much . alexis : you do have to let me go , though , if you need me to get to the office so that i can file the appropriate paperwork . sam : whoa . you okay ? alexis : uh -- yow . i do n't really feel so good at the moment . [ sighs ] sam : mom ? mom ? heather : is that a threat ? todd : you mean , will i start pressuring the memphis police department to arrest steven lars , the way you 've been threatening to tell sam the truth about what i did to her baby ? heather : yes . todd : i 'm only speaking hypothetically . [ clears throat ] but just so you know , you 're not the only one in the loony bin right now who has some power . heather : well , then , mr. manning , what are your terms ? todd : heather , i ca n't get you out of here . but i can help your son . heather : how ? todd : well , first , you have to promise to not call sam . and then if you love steven lars as much as you say you do -- heather : and then what ? todd : well , i 'll keep him out of trouble . heather : how ? w - what do you mean ? todd : you just stay here and macramé pot holders , and i 'll make sure that no one knows that steven lars killed a patient . heather : i 'd do anything to save steven lars . even stay in this miserable place . todd : so we 're agreed , then . it ends here ? heather : agreed . dante : so , who would work for heater ? lulu : someone as crazy as she is . luke : or someone she 's got something on . dante : or a professional . luke : what about that guy that looked like anthony , the one that she claimed she met on the internet ? luke : does he have kids ? dante : [ sighs ] look , there 's a file on archie boles at the station . but this internet date she had -- that 'll be tougher to track down . but if you ask me , both these guys are just down - and - outs working for heather for the money . luke : well , i 'd say the guy with the machete is pretty well off . dante : how could you tell ? he was wearing a mask . luke : he was wearing expensive shoes . todd : uh , heather ? no one needs to know about our little association .Summarize.[/INST]dante and lulu wake up and call each other `` mommy `` and `` dad . `` dante says it 's the best mistake ever and that he ca n't wait to tell everybody . lulu does n't thing that 's a good idea until after she confirm it with a doctor . steve overhears luke advising anna not to listen to heather 's lies . steve asks luke what his mother did . luke says heather played one last mind game on anna before getting shipped back to ferncliff . steve apologizes to luke and says he is glad that both luke and olivia will be fine and that his mother is locked up where she ca n't hurt anyone else . luke reveals that heather had an accomplice wearing a hockey mask bring him food and water . dante and lulu go to visit luke . dante tells steve that the memphis police are going to be contacting him . steve tells dante to ask luke about the accomplice . luke retells his story to lulu and dante . he remembers that the accomplice seemed as if was going to let him go when he talked about lulu . he wonders if the man has a daughter , too . lulu says anyone who would help heather has to be crazy . luke says heather might have something on the man . lulu wonders about the man that gave heather an alibi for the anthony zacchara case . dante thinks both men were probably in it for the money . luke says the one with the machete was wearing expensive shoes . todd visits heather at ferncliff . heather says that if he does n't get her out of there , then she will call sam and tell her that her baby is alive and living in llanview and todd will go to prison in llanview . he reviews her laundry list of crimes and says that even he ca n't get her out of it . she says she has to get back to the people she loves . he says no one will want to see her . she tells him that steven lars will forgive her after she has done so much to protect him . she mentions keeping steve out of prison in memphis . todd puts it together that heather framed maggie wurth . he tells her that since the police know that maggie did n't write her suicide note , they will resume investigating steve and then he will be locked up forever just like the two of them . he tells her that a hypothetical rich newspaper man could either point the memphis police in steve 's direction or he could make the case go away . he tells her that if she stays in ferncliff and does n't call sam , he will save steve . she agrees .</s>	11,267

[ indistinct chatter ] sally : uh ... coco : hey . sally : hey . coco : i was just coming to wish you good luck . and say , however today goes ... i 'm really proud of you . and aunt sally would be , too . you know , she trusted you to do this , and -- and here you are ! i feel like a lot of people would have just given up after that bad review , but ... but not you . and now , today , the whole world can see your true talent . sally : listen , coco ... about that ... coco : no , no , no . it 's -- it 's okay . it 's okay . i - i get emotional , too . especially thinking , um , about everything that you sacrificed for me . like , being left with grams like we were . you just -- you really had to be , um , a parent and a sister all rolled up in one , and i ... i ca n't thank you enough . sally : do n't thank me . [ scoffs ] i 'm not the sister that you think i am . or the designer . miss coco ? coco : yes ? yes . coco spectra ? a delivery . coco : oh , thank you . thanks . mm - hmm . coco : `` my family doubted you , and you proved them wrong . your sister , too . here 's to an awesome spectra fashion show . xoxo , r.j. `` [ sighs ] hey , the forresters did n't think we could be trusted . but we showed them we can be . [ chuckles ] sally : yeah . coco : you know , it 's -- it 's ... it 's not official or anything , but i just ... i really feel like r.j. 's , like , my boyfriend . like , i re -- i really care for him . just like you care for thomas . you know , it can still work out with you two . i know it can . sally : no , it ca n't . it 's impossible now . shirley : coco , honey , we need you out front . oh ... mr. jarrett is here , and we want you to go make a big fuss . coco : all right . i 'm so excited for you ! [ giggles ] i 'm so excited . i love you , sally . sally : i love you . coco : okay . okay .Summarize.[/INST]there is plenty of hustle and bustle around spectra . sally calls the troops around and she wants them all to be nice to everybody who attend the fashion show . bill tells wyatt that today is the day spectra 's last stand and then the property will be his . he tells cj that sally is going to be a flop and he will be doing spectra a big favor . cj says it depends on the show , of course , but if it is that bad he will accept a check from bill and close the whole thing down . jarrett comes in and makes mention that he just saw cj leave the building . bill says the misfits will fall today and the building will be his . now jarrett should rush off to this grand event . rj calls coco and wants to come over and see the showing with her . but shirley and saul say that would be a bad idea . cj visits sally and says this is a big risk . she is losing money . spectra fashions closes its doors today if this is another bad showing . rj does n't understand why he can not be there for coco . it is not like the designs are a big secret . the rest of the world will see them soon . shirley tells coco that she is glad she got the day off to be here today for sally 's showing . she is spending a lot of time with those hoity - toity people but if it all comes to an end coco needs to be ready to accept that . shirley tells her no matter how much time she spends cozying up to the forrester 's she will always be a spectra and never ever apologize for that . they scratch and fight their way to the top and sometimes they do things they wish they did n't have to do . jarrett tells bill that he knows it is not reasonable but it is just possible spectra will not tank today . bill tells him to just get the agreement signed that rj left . shirley tells sally they are about to change history . do not think about the knockoffs ..</s>	4,024

[ scene_break ] nicole : rule number one -- i do n't want our problems to affect our kids . i want johnny and my child -- the child that e.j . and i consider a miracle -- i want very much -- i want them to bond as siblings . i mean , how fun it would be for johnny to join e.j . , me , and my child on family vacations and such . sami : are you kidding me ? you think i 'm going to allow that ? i know that you do n't care about my son . i do n't think you care about e.j . i do n't think you care about that baby you 're carrying . everything is a means to an end to you . all you care about is money . nicole : and here i thought we could have a civilized conversation . sami : give me a break . that baby is a dollar sign to you . all you hear is `` ka- ching . `` money , money , money . nicole : and whereas everything you do is for the noblest of reasons . sami : your history speaks for itself . it is obvious to everyone in salem why you married victor , though , of course , we 're all wondering what possessed you to marry that creepy guy trent . oh , speaking of your dearly departed , i think it would be really interesting , if he were still alive , what he would say to e.j . about that baby . nicole : what trent would say -- what -- who cares ? sami : i 'm sure e.j . would care if trent explained to him what a lying , scheming , lowlife slut you really are . nicole : if you 're trying to make the idiotic point that trent would try to persuade e.j . that this baby is n't his , why , that really -- that really would n't work -- now , would it , sami ? -- since there is a paternity test that proves that e.j . is , in fact , the father . and what trent has to say is irrelevant -- is n't it ? -- because that cold - blooded bastard is dead and he is never coming back ! [ scene_break ] melanie : here she is , just like i predicted . stephanie : i thought you might be up here . melanie : wow , you must just be psychic or something . stephanie : are you two done ? max : yes . melanie : no . fine . he 's all yours , princess . i 'm trusting you with my life . max : i know . stephanie : so , how 'd it go ? did she tell you what happened with trent ? max : you know , i do n't want to talk about it -- not right now . stephanie : do n't shut me out , max . do n't you know how much i love you and i want what 's best for you ? max : steph -- stephanie : let me finish . you may think this is about me hating melanie , but it 's not . it 's about you and protecting you . that 's all i care about . so , please , tell me what melanie told you about that night .

[ scene_break ] max : she asked me not to say anything , stephanie . i ca n't . i ca n't say anything . stephanie : we had an agreement . does n't that mean anything to you ? max : yeah , of course it means something to me , but if you told me something in confidence , i ca n't say anything to anybody . stephanie : we are talking about a murder . a man was killed . max : melanie is all alone , okay ? she has nobody . she has no friends . she has no family , except for me . that 's it . that 's all she has , all right ? she needs me . stephanie : i need you , too . does n't that mean anything to you anymore ? max : how can you even ask me that ? stephanie : max , i love you so much , but all this stuff around your father has gone completely out of control . i am worried . i 'm worried that you 're in way over your head . max : i know what i 'm doing . stephanie : i thought we were a team , that i can trust you to tell me everything . you ca n't do this on your own , so , please , let me help you . talk to me .

[ snorts softly ] if you 've changed your mind about me coming here for my -- my daily jolt -- sharon : no , it 's all right . adam : good . it 's the best coffee in town . sharon : i just ran into phyllis . adam : mm . how is she ? sharon : elated . because you just hired her to be c.e.o . of nick 's old company . adam : yeah . i , uh -- i thought nick was on our list of things we do n't talk about . sharon : i 'll make an exception when phyllis is involved . i mean , really ? of all the people you could have chosen ? adam : she 's got experience . sharon : in breaking rules and tanking corporations . is she ... blackmailing you ? adam : sharon , you know me better than that . sharon : i thought i did . adam : i think phyllis should be added to the list of things we do n't talk about . matter of fact , why do n't you add me to that list , too , since all i seem to do is disappoint you . forget you ever knew me . best if we stay away from each other for a while . nick : time is running out . i need something that will bury adam . rey : we do n't have many options . nick : well , i still think riza is the key . rey : she practically hung up on me . nick : why do n't you go see her in person ? you know , pay her a little visit . she might be more willing to fill in some of the blanks in adam 's past . rey : and point me to the people who ran in his inner circle . nick : make sure they know it 's adam we want . rey : yeah . i 'm on it . nick : all right . [ cellphone chimes ] `` the young and the restless `` will continue . devon : i am more than capable of managing a relationship with elena and honoring hilary at the same time . and for you guys to assume that i ca n't do that does n't -- ana : that 's not what we 're saying . nate : all we 're trying to do is help . it 's your life . devon : you 're right . it is . i know you guys are trying to help . you 're trying to help me , and i thank you for it . but i got it . ana : no . you do n't get to act like i 'm the criminal because i give a damn about you . i love you . and if you 'd stop being so stubborn , you 'd see for yourself that you 're in trouble . what happens if you have another panic attack and there 's no one around to help you because you 've pushed us all away ? you know what ? forget it . you ca n't help someone who does n't want to be helped . devon : guys , hey . [ sighs ] ana : what are those ? devon : [ sighs ] hilary . this is hilary . this is , um ... these are episodes of `` gc buzz , `` um ... that i watch sometimes . and i watch them 'cause , in the moments that i do , she 's -- it 's like she 's alive . it 's like she 's here . and i can hear her laugh , i can see her smile . ana : oh , devon ... devon : uh ... they cause me to have a panic attack sometimes , but i ca n't help watching them . i really can't . 'cause ... i just -- i just want to see her . billy : okay . you do n't want me to go take care of adam , then i 'll go to the cops . chloe : no , you can't . billy : yes , i can . chloe , he had you held hostage . he kidnapped you . chloe : no , you do n't understand , billy , i -- billy : i do understand . believe me . he stood right there with these crocodile tears and this fake regret about what he did to our daughter . he did n't mention that he had you locked away . that did n't matter to him . and now you 're telling me that he 's making kevin 's life hell , too ? he needs to be stopped . chloe : yeah , but i 'm the one who 's gon na pay the price . the cops will put me away for trying to kill him . billy : no , they won't . they wo n't do that . chloe : it could . billy : [ sighs ] they 'll remember what happened to delia , okay ? they 'll understand that you 've been grieving this whole time , that there was absolutely no justice . okay ? they will understand . chloe : i 'm gon na have to plead temporary insanity . billy : we 'll get you a good lawyer . chloe : billy , you and i both know that i would be lying . i knew exactly what i was doing when i pulled that trigger . and let 's say , by some miracle , i manage to avoid prison time . bella 's entire life would be turned upside down . and ... she can never know what i 've done . kevin , he 'll be destroyed . no . it will ruin him . everything he did to help me . no . billy : i mean , that 's it , then , right ? adam gets away with it once again . chloe : it 's not up to me . and it 's not up to you . i just know i have to get away from this place . far away from the temptation of trying to bury him once and for all . because we know that if i stay here , it 's not gon na turn out well . billy : so what are you gon na do ? you just gon na go back to portland , chloe ? chloe : i have to . i have to be the mother to bella that i ca n't be to delia . i know . i know you 're angry . listen , i am angry , too . but i did not bring you into this to help me get revenge , okay ? please . please just let someone else take care of adam . all i need you to do is make sure that kevin comes home to me and bella . can i please count on you ? adam : man , what a difference a day makes . yesterday , it seemed like battling out in court would have been a fair fight . but once i found this ... well , game over . nick : is this why you asked me here ? to show me some video ? adam : well , and to tell you to bring my son to my place tonight . his room 's all ready for him . nick : christian is n't going anywhere . adam : it 's too late , nick . you lost . okay ? so let 's put an end to this ridiculous fight . before someone gets hurt . devon : all these mementos i have of hilary , they ... remind me of the intangible moments . like when her zipper would get caught in her favorite dress , and i would have to come to the rescue for her . and when she 'd leave her lipstick stains on her coffee mug every morning . and i feel like , if i lose these things , i lose those moments . ana : it 's human to miss someone you love that much . devon : i 'm never gon na get to hear my dad laugh again . eh - heh ... i 'm never gon na get to dance with hilary . and i just -- i 'm never gon na get to share anything with them ever again . ana : they 're memories . they do n't live in those things , devon . they live in you . in your heart . nate : the last thing they 'd want is for you to bury yourself in the past . they 'd want you out there , grabbing life the way they would . sharing your love . lighting up the dark places in other people 's lives . do n't you think ? devon : i do , yeah . nate : you 've got a lot to live for , man . good things are waiting for you right outside that door . ana : yeah . nate : and right inside this home . make some room . devon : i know . i know you 're right . and i know that , no matter how much i wish it , hilary 's not gon na come back . and neil wo n't , either . they -- they , uh ... they were both once - in - a - lifetime forces of nature . ana : their love did n't make you weak . it made you strong . and everything that 's in your way , you take that strength they gave you , and you clear yourself a path . kevin : [ huffs ] phyllis : kevin ! kevin : aah ! phyllis . hi . good to see you . phyllis : are you sure ? because it seems like you just saw a ghost . kevin : what ? no . nothing like that . i was just ... thinking . phyllis : you have a lot on your plate ? kevin : yes . phyllis : yeah , i know the feeling . when was the last time we saw each other ? kevin : not sure . been a while , though . phyllis : seems like just yesterday . kevin : no . longer than that . much . phyllis : i heard you were back in town . kevin : i 'm surprised we have n't run into each other . phyllis : well , i was indisposed . kevin : you do n't say . phyllis : mm - hmm . are you okay ? kevin : yes . why would n't i be ? phyllis : i do n't know . you seem a little agitated . kevin : i just -- i have a lot on my plate . like you said . [ sighs ] i , uh -- i have to go . we should get together sometime . phyllis : okay . whenever . rey : you want more wine ? sharon : mnh - mnh . rey : are you hungry ? tired ? you want me to go away ? sharon : now there 's an idea . rey : wow . okay , that was -- [ chuckles ] that was a joke . sharon : i was talking about you and me . just the two of us . why do n't we get away ? faith is away at camp . we could take a few days , and we could get a house on the lake , grab a boat , do some fishing , watch the sunset over the water , do some hiking . why do you look so glum ? rey : nick wants me to follow up on some leads in vegas . sharon : oh . rey : i was gon na tell you . sharon : when ? rey : just trying to find the right words . sharon : you 're going to vegas to do some more snooping around about adam . rey : [ sighs ] sharon : seems easy to me . rey : every time he comes up in a conversation , we -- sharon : we fight ? rey : we disagree . look , nick just gave me the assignment tonight . he -- he 's under the gun . if i could get him to push for a couple days so we could get away , you know i would . sharon : yeah , but we can't . i get it . fine . rey : look , this is my work . sharon : i know . rey : then why are you so upset ? sharon : because i just ... i wanted you all to myself , and we need to get away . rey : you sound more like you want to run away . i know you are on nick 's side with this custody thing . so why did going away suddenly become life or death ? sharon : because i love you , and i just want us to come first . rey : well , when you put it that way ... i 'll call nick , see if he can push the vegas thing . sharon : no , keep it as scheduled . you 're just gon na have to book an extra seat on that flight . i 'm going with you . billy : i think you 're wrong , not letting me deal with adam , making him pay for what he 's done to you . chloe : billy , please -- billy : but i will back off . i 'll let him be . chloe : maybe the scales of justice will finally balance it all out , and he will get what he finally deserves . billy : [ sighs ] where 's your justice ? chloe : [ scoffs ] well , i ... i get to spend some time with my mom . billy : esther knows ? chloe : well , heh , she knows enough . but she 'll be with me through those hard nights when those dark thoughts start to overwhelm me . billy : sounds like you got it all figured out . chloe : well , now that i know that you 're gon na help me with kevin , and you 're going to keep a hands - off approach with adam , yes , i do . thank you . billy : you 've been through enough , chloe . more than anyone should ever have to go through . chloe : hey , i could say the same for you . billy : yeah , you know me . i 'll figure out a way to live through it . chloe : [ scoffs ] [ sighs ] billy : i do n't want to let you go now . chloe : [ sniffles ] i 'm fine , okay ? i 'm gon na be fine , i promise . billy : [ sniffles ] it 's just ... [ sighs ] seeing you , it -- it just ... chloe : i know . i know . [ sighs ] billy : [ sniffles ] chloe : hmph . billy : take care of yourself , okay ? chloe : yeah . you too . [ chuckles ] billy : i 'll be in touch . chloe : i 'm counting on it . nick : christian 's not going anywhere except to sleep in his own bed , under my roof . adam : do you really want to drag this out ? make it a legal issue ? once people see that footage , nick -- nick : the police already know about it . so you want to use it ? take it to court ? go ahead . waste your time . adam : right . i will use the court of public opinion to get the word out , okay ? the good folks of social media will eat this up , get their tongues wagging about the crazy rich guy who tried to terrorize his father by posing as the guy that tried to kill him . that 's when my attorney will start suggesting that you 're unstable . got some undiagnosed mental - health issues , and you 're not fit to be a father . fantastic evidence . compelling story . pretty convincing , do n't you think ? nick : i am convinced of one thing -- it is time for you to go . devon : [ sighs ] [ keys jingle ] rey : [ groans ] if this is what i have to look forward to in vegas ... sharon : you do your snooping around , and i will massage your stress away . rey : yeah ? sharon : we need this . some time away . no distractions . so we can focus on each other . you have n't forgotten how persuasive i can be , have you ? rey : on second thought , spending all that time in vegas just working would be a real shame . sharon : i knew that you would see things my way . rey : uh - huh . sharon : let 's just start packing . rey : let 's do it . sharon : but maybe we should start with these clothes . rey : oh . yeah . i like that . kevin : chloe ? chloe : it 's just so hard to say goodbye . kevin : i know , babe . but we do n't want to miss your flight . chloe : [ sniffles ] my mom ? kevin : she 's in the car . packed and ready to go . chloe : i really wish you could come with us . kevin : me too . chloe : [ sighs ] kevin : but i 'm gon na see you before you know it . chloe : when ? kevin : soon as i can . right now , all that matters is that you are free . chloe : i love you so much . kevin : [ chuckles softly ] i love you , too . and everything is going to work out , i promise you . billy : jack ? traci ? jack ? anybody here ? jack ? adam : yeah , a few weeks ago , i was ready to leave town . i laid out my terms . nick : i do n't negotiate with blackmailers , especially when one of their demands is for me to give up my son . adam : no , your nephew . you really ought to start using the correct terminology , nick . sure , it 'll hurt the first few times , but it 's really important christian knows the truth about who you really are . nick : he knows who i am . just like i know who you are . you are a poor , pathetic afterthought who never knew where he belonged . adam : and i 'm wrong for trying to save my own child of the same fate ? nick : he belongs with me . adam : look , if you 're worried about losing touch with him , do n't be . i will have him send you a post card wherever we land . `` dear uncle nicholas , daddy and i are having the best time ever . `` nick : see , connor and chelsea , they 've moved on . so now you 're coming for christian . i am very sorry for your loss , but that is not gon na happen . adam : okay , any court in the country would agree that a child belongs with his biological parent . nick : if they did a background check , they would quickly realize you do n't deserve custody of a houseplant . adam : oh , you think i 'm dangerous ? nick : to a poor , defenseless boy ? yeah , i do . but to me , you 're a waste of time . adam : you have been dying for a fight ever since i got my memory back . you want to do this , nick ? nick : be careful what you ask for . adam : okay . okay . listen -- chelsea : stop this ! stop ! now . next week on `` the young and the restless `` ... chelsea : that 's not why i came back . adam : why , then ? chelsea : to tell you to let me go . abby : i got a message from dad to meet him here . is this about his health ? it 's bad news , is n't it ? phyllis : you son of a bitch ! it was you !	ana and nate have a heart to heart with devon about moving on with his life and packing away hilary 's things at first he is resistant but then he admits he watches old videos of gc buzz so that he can see hilary . devon later begins to pack up hilary 's things but he ca n't finish doing it and he leaves the penthouse . chloe has a long talk with billy at delia 's gravesite and she tells him she has been living in portland with kevin and bella since she faked her death . chloe tells billy that when she found out adam was alive he hatred for adam rose up again and she came to town to shoot him . chloe then explains to billy how adam kidnapped her and recently let her go but she has to go back to portland and stay away from him . chloe tells billy she thinks adam is using kevin to do his dirty work and asks billy to make sure kevin stays out of trouble and returns home safely to her and bella . billy does n't see any other solution so he goes to the abbott mansion to get a gun then heads off somewhere . kevin wants his freedom from adam in exchange for the information he found in victor 's files about nick . adam tells kevin he has to see the information first so kevin shows him the video of nick taking off the jt mask . adam tells kevin that if he does n't continue to help him he will tell phyllis who really kidnapped her . rey and sharon head to las vegas to dig up dirt on adam . nick arrives at dark horse where adam plays him the video and demands that he give him christian but nick tells him no and adam continues to taunt nick about how happy christian will be with his real father and how christian will send postcards to his uncle nick from all the places he will be traveling to with his father . the two are ready to come to blows in the dark horse office until chelsea arrives and tells them to stop this right now .	<s>[INST] [ previously_on ] devon : it 's more like she 's not gone at all , because i feel her everywhere in the house . rey : you need some recent evidence that proves that adam is still of dubious character . nick : i think if you go to vegas and turn over enough stones , you will find some shady behavior . adam : i may be the black sheep of my family , but i know there is something out there that proves nick is n't the perfect father . kevin : i 'll see what i can find out about nick . chloe : since i faked my death , i 've been -- i 've been in hiding . -billy : chloe . chloe : it 's really me . billy : what 's going on right now ? because ... you 're supposed to be -- chloe : i 'm -- i 'm alive . i know this must be really weird for you right now . billy : you have no idea . i d -- who knows ? chloe : a few people . billy : [ sighs ] do n't tell me one of them is adam . you 're the one that shot him . chloe : and adam is the reason why we 're here right now . billy : [ scoffs ] what is this ? chloe : i need your help . you 're the only one i can trust . nick : how 'd it go in vegas ? rey : i followed up again with adam 's associate . nick : riza . rey : i only spoke to her on the phone , but ... she would n't budge . said she was done answering questions about adam . nick : well , who else beside you is still asking ? rey : victor ? nick : or some other enemy we do n't know about . rey : well , a man like adam 's bound to have a few . nick : but she would n't say who they might be ? rey : mnh - mnh . she made one thing perfectly clear , though . she said she 's moved on , and suggested i do the same . nick : well , that 's easy for her to say . adam 's not trying to steal her son . adam : you promised me dirt on nick that i could use in court . you want to tell me what we 're waiting for ? kevin : give me my freedom . adam : i gave you chloe 's . that was the deal . kevin : well , considering what i 've dug up , i want to be done with you , too . all debts erased . adam : oh , that is a lot to ask for considering i have n't even seen this little discovery of yours . kevin : give me your word . adam : show me what you found . then we 'll talk . kevin : [ sighs ] okay ? now let 's talk . nate : you know how devon 's gon na react . ana : you scared ? nate : the guy 's upset with me for selling neil 's penthouse without running it by him first . ana : and he flipped out on me for making a music video without his approval . but that 's just it -- this is not the devon we know and love . nate : maybe you ought to let him just figure things out on his own . ana : he 's in denial about the panic attack he just had . nate : if timing on this is n't perfect , he 's gon na shut down . all right ? shut us out . ana : the worst thing we can do is nothing at all . nate : i agree . but right now , it 's late . why do n't we just , like , table this discussion for another day ? ana : we do n't have time . [ front door opens ] nate : hey , we 're doing this now ? ana : no time like the present . devon : what 's going on ? ana : we wanted to talk to you . devon : can it wait till tomorrow , please ? ana : no . devon : okay . um ... it 's about the panic attack ? nate : and hilary . phyllis : right , so you should send everything to 1228 market street . okay . thank you . sharon : is n't that the address to dark horse ? phyllis : it is indeed . sharon : you working there now ? phyllis : i run the place . sharon : you are running nick 's company ? phyllis : it is no longer nick 's company . i 'm the new c.e.o . of dark horse . feel free to congratulate me . sharon : congratulations . on once again planting your ladder to success in somebody else 's back . additional sponsorship phyllis : clearly i 'm no match for your level of ignorance . i was offered the job . i took it . sharon : just like that ? who offered ? phyllis : the new owner . [ whispers ] adam . sharon : simple as that , right ? phyllis : okay . what conspiracy theory is your bored little brain conjuring up ? sharon : you see , adam did n't come back to town planning on blowing things up . no , that started happening after he got here . right about the time when he connected with you . phyllis : so you 're saying that i brought adam to the dark side ? sharon : well , he 's not the same adam that i met in las vegas . that man was hurt , and he was wounded , and there was just a kindness about him . and something like that does n't evaporate , not without an assist . phyllis : and then i came in . sharon : adam was starting to put his life back together . he was reuniting with friends . he was rebuilding his relationships . and then you came along . bitter and vindictive , looking for someone to help you get payback on all the people who wronged you . phyllis : okay , so let me get this straight -- if it were n't for me , adam and the rest of the newman clan would be sitting around a campfire singing `` kumbaya `` ? sharon : he could have just [ sighs ] been good and done good . he could have had everything . phyllis : and you were right there to lend a helping hand . sharon : i was helping him , yeah . that 's something that you do n't really understand . phyllis : [ chuckles ] oh , no , i understand a lot more than you want me to . poor adam can do no wrong . it 's unconditional love . i wonder what rey thinks about that . billy : i do n't know what 's going on right now . i do n't know what to say . chloe : just say that you 'll help me . billy : hold on a second . because as far as i 'm ... as far as i know , you 're dead , okay , and now you 're here . chloe : i know . i 'm sorry . billy : and you 're telling me that you shot adam -- chloe : i 'm sorry , i just do n't have a lot of time . billy : why ? why ? what -- what 's going on ? what 's the rush ? chloe : i need to catch a flight back to portland . [ sighs ] to bella . billy : how is she ? chloe : [ chuckles ] oh , she 's so great . bella , you -- you would -- oh ! she 's beautiful . and she 's bright , and she 's funny . she reminds me so much of our little girl . [ sighs ] but kevin will be staying here for a little bit . billy : kevin ? yeah , of course . chloe : he 's been really good to me . he 's been so good . he takes great care of me , he protects me . helped create a new identity when i needed to start over . and we were living a really great life in portland , until ... until i learned that he was alive . [ huffs ] adam . the man ... that took delia from me . from us . i have [ inhales sharply ] tried so hard . because the life ... i mean , the life that kevin and i have built is so important to me . but i could n't just ignore the fact that he was -- he was alive . that he could just pick up right where he left off , and he 's just walking around getting a second chance . he has a future . [ voice breaking ] that 's something that our little girl deserves . and it crushed me , billy . it absolutely crushed me . billy : i know . chloe : [ sobs ] i mean , i ca n't eat . could n't sleep . life is so unfair . take delia away . but her killer gets a second pass . so , yeah . i took matters into my own hands and i shot him . billy : there 's a gambling rival of his that admitted to it , and that 's sitting in prison right now . chloe : yeah , well . [ scoffs ] adam knew that i was the one who shot him . he just did n't want the police to know , because he wanted to punish me himself . so he tracked me down ... and he held me prisoner . billy : that son of a bitch . he is insane , chloe . chloe : well , i thought third time 's a charm , you know , and that he would finally pay . billy : so why 'd he let you go ? chloe : [ inhales deeply ] because of kevin . adam : oh , this is incredible . just what i needed . mm . [ chuckles ] [ sighs ] it kind of kills the fantasy of nick being the kindler , gentler newman . devon : hilary doe't have some kind of grip over me , okay ? and she was my wife , so am i not allowed to miss her ? ana : of course you are . that 's not what we 're talking about . devon : [ sighs ] what are we talking about , then ? ana : you had another panic attack . thank goodness elena was around to help you out . devon : right . thank god she was . and i told you that it was brought on by neil 's dedication , and it probably would n't have happened at all if i had n't stopped taking my meds . nate : have you spoken to your therapist about that ? devon : i have not , o. i stopped seeing him a while ago . nate : there 's no shame in seeking help to get through this . the combo of medication and talking things through can help you make sense of everything . devon : i agree with that . and i 'm gon na make an appointment when i get some time . ana : make time . you 're not gon na get better all by yourself . devon : are you guys gon na make me better with this little bootleg intervention you 're having for me ? i know you 're the smart one , so why do n't you tell me what else i 'm doing wrong with my life ? ana : this . devon : picture ? i ca n't have a picture ? ana : and this . and this . how much longer ? devon : how much longer ? is there a time limit on grief ? nate : of course not , as long as you remember that part of grieving is moving on and letting go . devon : yeah , i do . i know that . but do you know that this is happening to me and not you ? i lost my wife and my kid , so i get to decide how long i mourn and when i move on . nate : you 're right , all right , but -- ana : it 's more than just a few pictures around the living room . hilary 's all over this place . her perfume is still in the powder room . her clothes are still hanging up in the closet . her favorite blend of coffee in the kitchen . it 's like you 're waiting for her to come home . nate : you got a new woman in your life . and that 's exactly how it should be . but you ca n't look backward and forward at the same time . sooner or later , you 've got to rise up , move on , a - and be free . phyllis : if you drone on like this in front of rey about how much you want to help defenseless adam , you 're gon na be shopping for a new boyfriend real quick . sharon : [ scoffs ] there is absolutely nothing going on between me and adam . phyllis : it almost sounds like you believe it . keep that up . practice makes perfect . sharon : well , pardon me if i do n't take advice from a woman who ca n't keep a man . or a job . phyllis : i am the c.e.o . of one of the biggest companies in this town . sharon : pbht ! a job that you will no doubt foul up , like you have everything else in your life in the last few years . do you need a reminder ? there 's billy . jabot . oh , nick . and i 'm pretty sure that you 're gon na botch things with your daughter pretty soon , if you have n't already . but something tells me that you actually already have . phyllis : i 'm not gon na win any popularity contests in this town . i 'm well aware of that . but it does n't matter to me . because when people hate you , that means you 're in control , and you have nothing left to lose and all the power that you could ever need . sharon : what twisted rule book did you get that from ? phyllis : that came compliments of your secret heartthrob , adam . [ sighs ] must be really hard for you , loving him and fearing him all at the same time . but so exciting , right ? just even being in the same room as adam . but then you got to drag yourself to your devoted detective . and just forget that that bad boy makes you feel so alive . good luck with that , sharon . you 're gon na need it . chloe : kevin said that he has to stick around .

[ scene_break ] téa : your honor , mr. manning just admitted in open court that he only married me to keep starr manning , his daughter , away from her mother , blair mcbain . todd : yes , i have a canceled check to prove it . téa : your honor , i ask you , what kind of father would boast about committing fraud ? todd : my point is that she 's stealing a page from my book . téa : i loved that man , your honor . that is why i married him . look at me . are you saying that you did n't love me ? [ scene_break ] dorian : no , no . honey , i 'm -- i 'm not distracted . not at all . i 'm -- i 'm , uh , hanging on your every word . how did the audition go ? oh , i see . i 'm so sorry , darling . they obviously have no taste , do they ? yeah , uh -- yeah , it was very -- you 're right . i am very excited about how things are going for blair and the children and -- but i do n't have time to talk to you about it , not right now . because i 'm very busy . yes . i -- i 'm babysitting blair 's boys . right , right , okay . yeah , got to go . bye - bye . ray : you are a world - class liar . [ scene_break ] todd : our marriage had nothing to do with love . téa : maybe not for you , but i loved you . i still -- remember that very clearly . and just because you are cynical does n't give you the right to accuse me , or john , or anyone else of misrepresentation . morgan : okay , okay , okay . counselor , it 's a very , very pretty speech , but the fact remains -- blair manning only chose to marry john mcbain after she was served with papers letting her know that my client was seeking temporary custody . todd manning has every right to be cynical . judge : i agree , mr. guthrie . [ scene_break ] blair : this marriage is about one thing , mom , and that 's keeping your grandkids away from todd manning . téa : you marry blair and todd loses his leverage . dorian : it 's not as if the two of you are strangers . téa : you two have a legitimate relationship . blair : okay -- dorian : come on , why not marry blair ? blair : dorian , stop it . leave him alone , please , and get out of here . dorian : i 'm sorry honey , do n't say i 'm controlling , but this is a great idea -- blair : get out of here . téa : you two talk it over , okay ? dorian : yes , talk it over . blair : dorian , stop . dorian : blair , please do n't make it any more complicated than it is already -- blair : get out ! addie : so no one even mentioned the word love ? [ scene_break ] john : your honor , may i say something ? judge : only if it 's pertinent , mr. mcbain . john : yeah , i think it is . you know , they 're saying the timing of all this stinks , and they 're right . it 's not the way i would have done it if i had the choice , but sometimes you do n't , your honor . when blair was attacked and she almost died , seeing her there in that i.c.u . -- let 's just say i realized how important she was to me . todd : oh god , what a load of -- your honor , he married her so she could take away my kids . morgan : are you admitting collusion , mr. mcbain ? téa : absolutely not , your honor . judge : do you love your wife , mr. mcbain ? john : yes i do , very much . [ scene_break ] marty : john 's been great , not that i deserve it . i -- i did everything -- i pushed him a way , i paraded wes around in front of him . i mean the fact that he 's even talking to me is a miracle . jessica : after what you 've been through , the fact that you 're interested in any man is a miracle . marty : true . after life with todd , i was n't really out there , but i 'm getting there . jessica : have you shared any of this with john ? marty : oh no , no . i do n't think i 'm ready for that . [ scene_break ] gigi : stacy claims she saw rex first . brody : what is she , 14 ? gigi : i do n't even remember any of this , but she swears that when she was a freshman in high school , she was madly in love with rex . he was a senior at the time , did n't even know she existed , and that she told me how she felt and i went after him to ruin her life . brody : and she thinks that , what , you dump rex and he 's going to turn around and fall for her and they 're going to ride off into the sunset ? gigi : i know how it sounds , but that 's the deal , rex for shane . what am i going to do ? brody : you 're going to tell rex the truth . gigi : i ca n't . i ca n't . if i tell rex , he 'll go off on stacy and the deal is off . she wo n't agree to the transplant . brody : so she 's blackmailing you . gigi : and if i do n't do what she wants , shane pays with his life . brody : please do n't tell me you 're thinking about doing this . geege -- gigi : i ca n't let my son die . [ scene_break ] stacy : she 's not picking up ? do you know where she went ? rex : she said there was something she had to do . stacy : yeah , but you 'd think she 'd keep her phone on . rex : mike , any luck ? michael : we 're still waiting to hear from some of the more remote registries , but so far there has n't been another match . i 'm so sorry , man . rex : it 's not your fault . michael : i 'm going to keep looking . stacy : wait , but i thought shane said something about a donor in australia . rex : it did n't work out . stacy : so , you 're just not going to tell him ? rex : do you want to tell him that we lost the donor , huh ? that he could die ? [ scene_break ] blair : it 's not about love , mama . blair : look , john , you do n't have to worry . you 're not going to have to marry me . and please do n't let téa and dorian pressure you into anything . john : they wo n't . blair : you have to really be committed to the other person to get married . and i mean , look . we just broke up . john : yeah , if you call it that . blair : this is n't about you and me anyway . it 's the fact that i got hurt . todd 's on the warpath , and that 's certainly not a reason to get married . come on , we never lied to each other , so why should we start now , right ? john : you want the truth ? according to the lawyer , he 's going to get the kids , and you may not get them back again . i do n't know if you 're in any shape to fight this yourself . this seems like the only way to fix it . so unless you got a better idea , let 's do it . blair : are n't you forgetting something here ? addie : what was he forgetting ? [ scene_break ] todd : and what about marty ? john : marty is none of your concern , manning . téa : your honor , marty saybrooke has no bearing on this custody hearing . morgan : ms. saybrooke is absolutely relevant , your honor . you yourself questioned the integrity of mr. mcbain 's marriage . if he is still involved with somebody else -- téa : mr. mcbain has n't been romantically involved with marty saybrooke since her accident . todd : he carried a torch the whole time . judge : what about it , mr. mcbain ? are you involved with ms. saybrooke ? john : marty and i are friends now . nothing more . [ scene_break ] jessica : so you do n't think you can trust john ? i mean , i think he 's a pretty stand - up guy . marty : oh , he is . he is -- he 's wonderful . but he 's also seeing blair . jessica : well , that 's because he thought that you were gone . marty : well , i think there 's more to it than that . i mean , they 've gotten really close . and i 've just been getting in the way . i mean , he was with me when she was stabbed , and i know how awful he feels about that . jessica : that 's not your fault . marty : yeah , but i called him , and he -- jessica : but it was his choice . [ scene_break ] addie : so what did john say about marty ? blair : i know you have feelings for marty . and if that van had n't blown up in ireland , who knows ? you may -- you guys may have been married by now . john : i left you alone , and you almost got killed . i 'm not walking away from you again . blair : you know , i 'm not that noble a person , okay ? and you also know -- you know how i feel about you , do n't you ? so , if you insist on marrying me , i might just say yes , out of pure selfishness . i 'm just warning you right now . [ blair laughs ] john : will you marry me ? blair : you know i will . addie : well ? blair : well , he 's giving up marty for me and the kids . [ scene_break ] marty : i just do n't think i can put myself out there , when i know that he 's still interested in blair . jessica : i get that , you know , but if john does n't know that you have feelings for him -- i mean , he is a man , after all . i just -- i do n't know , i say if you have feelings for him , you should go for it . you know , do n't miss out on love because you 're being too cautious . marty : uh - huh . you sound like you 've put a lot of thought into this . are you sure you 're just talking about john and me ? [ scene_break ] gigi : it 's not like i have a choice . there is no other donor . shane needs that transplant . brody : do you really think your sister would let shane die ? gigi : brody , she is so out there . i do n't know what she 'd do . she could disappear . that 's what she 's threatening -- to just take off . and then what ? brody : we hunt her down . gigi : and what ? you ca n't force someone to donate . they have to volunteer . brody : there must be another way . gigi : trouble is , there is n't any time . he needs that transplant as soon as possible . oh , god , i have to take the deal . i have to give rex up . [ scene_break ] rex : it 's probably better that gigi is n't here . if shane sees her , he 'll know something 's wrong . and the doctor said that a positive attitude can help , so as long as he thinks there 's an angel of mercy out there who can save his life , the better . [ scene_break ] brody : okay , so what 's to stop you and rex from staging some sort of breakup ? then stacy donates the bone marrow , and the two of you get back together ? it 's not like she can take the bone marrow back . gigi : and if the transplant does n't take ? and he needs another one ? all those years when shane would have his asthma attacks , i 'd tell god that i would do anything if he 'd just breathe . maybe i did n't do enough . maybe this is payback . brody : god 's not like that . at least i do n't think so . gigi : i did it again -- i said i 'd do anything , give anything , if he 'd save shane . brody : it 's not god asking you to give up rex , it 's stacy . gigi : she may as well be god -- she 's holding all the cards . brody : what i do n't get is how she thinks she can get him to give her a second look . he 's in love with you . gigi : and how am i going to get him to believe that it 's over ? he knows how much i love him . brody : i wish i could help you , gigi . you know i would do anything for shane . gigi : do you mean that ? brody : are you kidding me ? you just tell me what you need . i 'm there . [ scene_break ] téa your honor , you 've examined the documents , questioned the groom . if you have any further doubts , feel free to question starr manning . she 'll be happy to testify . judge : ms. manning , do you have anything to add ? starr : your honor , please do n't make us live with todd . i know he is my father , but he has never been taught how to think of anyone but himself . when he gets mad , he freaks out . he threw me down a flight of stairs when i was pregnant , because i was trying to stop him from hurting my boyfriend . and then , once i was going to have the baby , he was planning on stealing her from me because he did n't agree with me giving her up for adoption . please , do not make my brothers and me go back with him . they are younger than i am . they want to be home where they feel safe , and john mcbain is a really good person , and i feel like he 'll be a better father than my dad ever was . judge : i 'm calling a short recess . i 'll return with my ruling momentarily . [ gavel bangs ] todd : happy now ? you turned my child against me . téa oh , you did that all on your own , todd . todd : she loved me . téa : until she found out who you really were . todd : you know , téa , i used to think that you walked out on me because you hated me . but i 'm thinking that 's not right , is it ? i think you 're angry about blair and marty . [ téa scoffs ] todd : and anyone else who 'd get in your way , because this is payback . you 're still in love with me . [ scene_break ] addie : i do n't think it 's selfish to follow your heart . blair : well , this is about the kids , mama . as soon as i knew that starr was on board , i was good to go . blair : one , two , three . addie : maybe i 'll marry again -- someday . but the next time , i 'll do it for the right reason . [ scene_break ] dorian : david is not concerned with trivialities . and he 's 3,000 miles away . ray : what is happening here is not trivial . there has been a fire between us from the moment we met . dorian : i hated you from the moment i set eyes on you . you were going to steal my daughter away from me . ray : no , no , you did not hate me . you were afraid of me . dorian : what i feel or do n't feel is immaterial . i 'm married . ray : uh - huh , to a man who would rather play at being an actor than to be here with you ? dorian : get out of my house ! ray : this is n't your house . dorian : we 'll just see about that . and in the meantime , you -- you stay away from me . [ scene_break ] judge : in light of today 's testimony , i see no reason to amend the custody agreement . the children will remain with blair cramer - mcbain and her husband , john mcbain .

[ scene_break ] dorian : no , no . honey , i 'm -- i 'm not distracted . not at all . i 'm -- i 'm , uh , hanging on your every word . how did the audition go ? oh , i see . i 'm so sorry , darling . they obviously have no taste , do they ? yeah , uh -- yeah , it was very -- you 're right . i am very excited about how things are going for blair and the children and -- but i do n't have time to talk to you about it , not right now . because i 'm very busy . yes . i -- i 'm babysitting blair 's boys . right , right , okay . yeah , got to go . bye - bye . ray : you are a world - class liar . [ scene_break ] todd : our marriage had nothing to do with love . téa : maybe not for you , but i loved you . i still -- remember that very clearly . and just because you are cynical does n't give you the right to accuse me , or john , or anyone else of misrepresentation . morgan : okay , okay , okay . counselor , it 's a very , very pretty speech , but the fact remains -- blair manning only chose to marry john mcbain after she was served with papers letting her know that my client was seeking temporary custody . todd manning has every right to be cynical . judge : i agree , mr. guthrie . [ scene_break ] blair : this marriage is about one thing , mom , and that 's keeping your grandkids away from todd manning . téa : you marry blair and todd loses his leverage . dorian : it 's not as if the two of you are strangers . téa : you two have a legitimate relationship . blair : okay -- dorian : come on , why not marry blair ? blair : dorian , stop it . leave him alone , please , and get out of here . dorian : i 'm sorry honey , do n't say i 'm controlling , but this is a great idea -- blair : get out of here . téa : you two talk it over , okay ? dorian : yes , talk it over . blair : dorian , stop . dorian : blair , please do n't make it any more complicated than it is already -- blair : get out ! addie : so no one even mentioned the word love ? [ scene_break ] john : your honor , may i say something ? judge : only if it 's pertinent , mr. mcbain . john : yeah , i think it is . you know , they 're saying the timing of all this stinks , and they 're right . it 's not the way i would have done it if i had the choice , but sometimes you do n't , your honor . when blair was attacked and she almost died , seeing her there in that i.c.u . -- let 's just say i realized how important she was to me . todd : oh god , what a load of -- your honor , he married her so she could take away my kids . morgan : are you admitting collusion , mr. mcbain ? téa : absolutely not , your honor . judge : do you love your wife , mr. mcbain ? john : yes i do , very much . [ scene_break ] marty : john 's been great , not that i deserve it . i -- i did everything -- i pushed him a way , i paraded wes around in front of him . i mean the fact that he 's even talking to me is a miracle . jessica : after what you 've been through , the fact that you 're interested in any man is a miracle . marty : true . after life with todd , i was n't really out there , but i 'm getting there . jessica : have you shared any of this with john ? marty : oh no , no . i do n't think i 'm ready for that . [ scene_break ] gigi : stacy claims she saw rex first . brody : what is she , 14 ? gigi : i do n't even remember any of this , but she swears that when she was a freshman in high school , she was madly in love with rex . he was a senior at the time , did n't even know she existed , and that she told me how she felt and i went after him to ruin her life . brody : and she thinks that , what , you dump rex and he 's going to turn around and fall for her and they 're going to ride off into the sunset ? gigi : i know how it sounds , but that 's the deal , rex for shane . what am i going to do ? brody : you 're going to tell rex the truth . gigi : i ca n't . i ca n't . if i tell rex , he 'll go off on stacy and the deal is off . she wo n't agree to the transplant . brody : so she 's blackmailing you . gigi : and if i do n't do what she wants , shane pays with his life . brody : please do n't tell me you 're thinking about doing this . geege -- gigi : i ca n't let my son die . [ scene_break ] stacy : she 's not picking up ? do you know where she went ? rex : she said there was something she had to do . stacy : yeah , but you 'd think she 'd keep her phone on . rex : mike , any luck ? michael : we 're still waiting to hear from some of the more remote registries , but so far there has n't been another match . i 'm so sorry , man . rex : it 's not your fault . michael : i 'm going to keep looking . stacy : wait , but i thought shane said something about a donor in australia . rex : it did n't work out . stacy : so , you 're just not going to tell him ? rex : do you want to tell him that we lost the donor , huh ? that he could die ? [ scene_break ] blair : it 's not about love , mama . blair : look , john , you do n't have to worry . you 're not going to have to marry me . and please do n't let téa and dorian pressure you into anything . john : they wo n't . blair : you have to really be committed to the other person to get married . and i mean , look . we just broke up . john : yeah , if you call it that . blair : this is n't about you and me anyway . it 's the fact that i got hurt . todd 's on the warpath , and that 's certainly not a reason to get married . come on , we never lied to each other , so why should we start now , right ? john : you want the truth ? according to the lawyer , he 's going to get the kids , and you may not get them back again . i do n't know if you 're in any shape to fight this yourself . this seems like the only way to fix it . so unless you got a better idea , let 's do it . blair : are n't you forgetting something here ? addie : what was he forgetting ? [ scene_break ] todd : and what about marty ? john : marty is none of your concern , manning . téa : your honor , marty saybrooke has no bearing on this custody hearing . morgan : ms. saybrooke is absolutely relevant , your honor . you yourself questioned the integrity of mr. mcbain 's marriage . if he is still involved with somebody else -- téa : mr. mcbain has n't been romantically involved with marty saybrooke since her accident . todd : he carried a torch the whole time . judge : what about it , mr. mcbain ? are you involved with ms. saybrooke ? john : marty and i are friends now . nothing more . [ scene_break ] jessica : so you do n't think you can trust john ? i mean , i think he 's a pretty stand - up guy . marty : oh , he is . he is -- he 's wonderful . but he 's also seeing blair . jessica : well , that 's because he thought that you were gone . marty : well , i think there 's more to it than that . i mean , they 've gotten really close . and i 've just been getting in the way . i mean , he was with me when she was stabbed , and i know how awful he feels about that . jessica : that 's not your fault . marty : yeah , but i called him , and he -- jessica : but it was his choice . [ scene_break ] addie : so what did john say about marty ? blair : i know you have feelings for marty . and if that van had n't blown up in ireland , who knows ? you may -- you guys may have been married by now . john : i left you alone , and you almost got killed . i 'm not walking away from you again . blair : you know , i 'm not that noble a person , okay ? and you also know -- you know how i feel about you , do n't you ? so , if you insist on marrying me , i might just say yes , out of pure selfishness . i 'm just warning you right now . [ blair laughs ] john : will you marry me ? blair : you know i will . addie : well ? blair : well , he 's giving up marty for me and the kids . [ scene_break ] marty : i just do n't think i can put myself out there , when i know that he 's still interested in blair . jessica : i get that , you know , but if john does n't know that you have feelings for him -- i mean , he is a man , after all . i just -- i do n't know , i say if you have feelings for him , you should go for it . you know , do n't miss out on love because you 're being too cautious . marty : uh - huh . you sound like you 've put a lot of thought into this . are you sure you 're just talking about john and me ? [ scene_break ] gigi : it 's not like i have a choice . there is no other donor . shane needs that transplant . brody : do you really think your sister would let shane die ? gigi : brody , she is so out there . i do n't know what she 'd do . she could disappear . that 's what she 's threatening -- to just take off . and then what ? brody : we hunt her down . gigi : and what ? you ca n't force someone to donate . they have to volunteer . brody : there must be another way . gigi : trouble is , there is n't any time . he needs that transplant as soon as possible . oh , god , i have to take the deal . i have to give rex up . [ scene_break ] rex : it 's probably better that gigi is n't here . if shane sees her , he 'll know something 's wrong . and the doctor said that a positive attitude can help , so as long as he thinks there 's an angel of mercy out there who can save his life , the better . [ scene_break ] brody : okay , so what 's to stop you and rex from staging some sort of breakup ? then stacy donates the bone marrow , and the two of you get back together ? it 's not like she can take the bone marrow back . gigi : and if the transplant does n't take ? and he needs another one ? all those years when shane would have his asthma attacks , i 'd tell god that i would do anything if he 'd just breathe . maybe i did n't do enough . maybe this is payback . brody : god 's not like that . at least i do n't think so . gigi : i did it again -- i said i 'd do anything , give anything , if he 'd save shane . brody : it 's not god asking you to give up rex , it 's stacy . gigi : she may as well be god -- she 's holding all the cards . brody : what i do n't get is how she thinks she can get him to give her a second look . he 's in love with you . gigi : and how am i going to get him to believe that it 's over ? he knows how much i love him . brody : i wish i could help you , gigi . you know i would do anything for shane . gigi : do you mean that ? brody : are you kidding me ? you just tell me what you need . i 'm there . [ scene_break ] téa your honor , you 've examined the documents , questioned the groom . if you have any further doubts , feel free to question starr manning . she 'll be happy to testify . judge : ms. manning , do you have anything to add ? starr : your honor , please do n't make us live with todd . i know he is my father , but he has never been taught how to think of anyone but himself . when he gets mad , he freaks out . he threw me down a flight of stairs when i was pregnant , because i was trying to stop him from hurting my boyfriend . and then , once i was going to have the baby , he was planning on stealing her from me because he did n't agree with me giving her up for adoption . please , do not make my brothers and me go back with him . they are younger than i am . they want to be home where they feel safe , and john mcbain is a really good person , and i feel like he 'll be a better father than my dad ever was . judge : i 'm calling a short recess . i 'll return with my ruling momentarily . [ gavel bangs ] todd : happy now ? you turned my child against me . téa oh , you did that all on your own , todd . todd : she loved me . téa : until she found out who you really were . todd : you know , téa , i used to think that you walked out on me because you hated me . but i 'm thinking that 's not right , is it ? i think you 're angry about blair and marty . [ téa scoffs ] todd : and anyone else who 'd get in your way , because this is payback . you 're still in love with me . [ scene_break ] addie : i do n't think it 's selfish to follow your heart . blair : well , this is about the kids , mama . as soon as i knew that starr was on board , i was good to go . blair : one , two , three . addie : maybe i 'll marry again -- someday . but the next time , i 'll do it for the right reason . [ scene_break ] dorian : david is not concerned with trivialities . and he 's 3,000 miles away . ray : what is happening here is not trivial . there has been a fire between us from the moment we met . dorian : i hated you from the moment i set eyes on you . you were going to steal my daughter away from me . ray : no , no , you did not hate me . you were afraid of me . dorian : what i feel or do n't feel is immaterial . i 'm married . ray : uh - huh , to a man who would rather play at being an actor than to be here with you ? dorian : get out of my house ! ray : this is n't your house . dorian : we 'll just see about that . and in the meantime , you -- you stay away from me .

last time i saw you , you were happy for me . phyllis : i was . i 'm sorry . i just -- love is really busting my chops right now . scott : you met someone ? phyllis : which was great , until it was n't . but actually ... you may be able to help me out . neil : yes , sir . and the best news is , construction is well ahead of schedule . you know that never happens . devon : we 'll be laying out our whole floor of offices before you know it . neil : hamilton - winters . i ca n't wait to get this thing off the ground . devon : me neither . neil : uh - oh . did you already find a company to acquire ? devon : yes , i did . neil : you sure did . that is fast . how 'd you make the selection ? devon : i channeled you , thought about which company you would pick and why , and that 's what i did . i think you 'll be impressed , too . neil : oh ? so i 'm more impressed with the fact that you moved as fast as you did on this . what 's the name of the company ? devon : hang on . neil : let me see . mergeron enterprises . devon : are you familiar with it ? neil : very much so . incredibly successful . and the owner has quite a history with the abbotts . jack : i 'm gon na have to give mrs. martinez a raise . if people find out how good her muffins are , she 's gon na leave me and open her own bakery . ashley : well , i 'm sure gloria would be happy to fill in . jack : now why 'd you just do that ? we just had a lovely breakfast together . ashley : and it was lovely because gloria was n't there . jack : would you just drop it ? ashley : no , i just ca n't , jack . please , give me a valid -- jack : we have already exhausted this subject . ashley : no , we have n't . we have n't even scratched the surface . jack : okay , i 'm gon na ask this nicely . would you please not talk about gloria ? ashley : only if you have something more pressing going on in your life . jack : nikki invited me out to the ranch last night . ashley : and you went ? jack : well , yeah . victor was out of town . ashley : oh , my god , you never learn . devon : so , yeah , how is mergeron enterprises connected to the abbotts ? neil : dina mergeron , c.e.o . she was once married -- thanks -- to john abbott . devon : really ? i did n't read anything about that when i was researching the company . neil : it was probably because she 's responsible for that . devon : so jack , traci , and ashley are dina mergeron 's kids ? neil : mm . she 's an excellent leader , you know . mergeron is a powerhouse in the world of technology . devon : well , yeah , and they also have a number of diverse interests , which work for what we 're doing . neil : all this seems to have happened since dina took over . devon : well , after mr. mergeron passed away . but it 's the streaming service that she developed that initially attracted me to the company because i would love to incorporate that into our music division . neil : right , right . no , i know . she 's got her faults , but she 's the real deal . she 's a savvy businesswoman . devon : what kind of faults you talking about ? neil : well , from what i know , she walked out on john and the kids when they were very young . jack and his sisters , they , you know , they never forgave her . devon : so acquiring dina 's company could be a problem for the abbotts . jack : nikki needed my help . ashley : with what ? jack : in her words , to get her mojo back . ashley : you did n't . jack : i believe i did . ashley : you 're messing with me -- do n't do it . it 's a bad day for obvious reasons . jack : okay , nikki asked for some suggestions on how to improve her life . ashley : well , did you tell her to divorce her husband ? again ? jack : yes . and then when her husband walked in on us ... ashley : no . jack : i noticed a distinct chill in the air . there is trouble in paradise . ashley : no . i do n't believe that , jackie . there 's no way . it 's victor and nikki . it 's a lovers ' quarrel . jack : no , no , no , no , no . this is different this time . this time it appears nikki has had it with his domineering ways . anyway , enough about that . let 's talk about you . you seem happy . or you certainly seemed happy when ravi got here last night . ashley : oh , you want to talk about ravi ? we could do that . but it 's not gon na stop me from talking about gloria . scott : if i can offer up some help , then it 's all yours . what do you need ? phyllis : you 're writing victor 's biography , which requires you talking with his family , right ? scott : right . phyllis : has anyone mentioned anything about nikki 's health ? scott : i 'm not sure how that relates to your love life , unless you and nick are thinking about getting back together . phyllis : no . no , no . that 's not in the cards . scott : sorry . it 's just the journalist in me . phyllis : right now , i need a friend more than a journalist . scott : of course . phyllis : nikki 's health ? scott : as a friend , as far as i can tell , nikki 's fine . phyllis : so you do n't know for sure if there 's been an incident about the m.s . flaring up . scott : i saw her the other day . did n't seem to be anything physically wrong with her . michael : hey ! either of you seen kevin ? mm , am i interrupting ? scott : not at all . i was actually about ready to head out . i got an appointment . but , uh , hey , you gon na be okay ? phyllis : absolutely . thank you . scott : yeah . michael : holding it in is n't going to help . so , um , start talking . billy : so , go ahead , cane . look deep into my soul , share these profound insights . cane : i do n't know , just at last night 's dinner , you and victoria seemed to be getting closer together . it 's just a shame that jill was n't there to see it , right ? billy : oh , you care about my relationship with vicki all of a sudden ? cane : yeah , why would n't i ? you 're my co - worker . she 's my boss . billy : well , i 'm not buying that , so why do n't you tell me what 's really going on ? cane : okay . so , tell me , is something going on between you and victoria ? billy : it 's got you spun out , huh ? cane : uh - huh . billy : so how do we really get you around the bend ? maybe i tell you that vicki and i are getting back together ... ... or maybe i tell you we 're playing nice for the sake of the kids . cane : or maybe you could go against your natural instinct to lie and tell the truth for a change , billy . maybe you could do that , do n't you think ? victor : what you call control i call love . victoria : love ? love ? buying my 16-year - old an expensive car , making abby temporary c.e.o . victor : it 's a loving gesture . victoria : investing in chelsea 's company . victor : it 's ensuring my grandson 's future . victoria : so , what are you gon na do for nick 's kids ? are you gon na buy them nobel prizes ? victor : do n't exaggerate , okay ? victoria : you 're bribing my son . victor : will you listen to me ? you 're a busy mother . you run a company . i thought you 'd be happy if reed had a car that needs to take him where he needs to go ! victoria : if i wanted to buy my son a car , i would have done it myself . so why do n't you just admit -- admit , dad , what you 're really doing . victor : i 'm a loving , generous grandfather . that 's what i 'm doing ! victoria : mm - hmm , yeah . you 're attempting to bribe every single family member that has no idea what the truth is about you . i do n't know why i bother . victor : what , you 're just gon na walk out on me , or what ? victoria : you know that forgiving you accomplishes nothing ? you turned our forgiveness into a blank check , carte blanche so you could do whatever you want ! and when adam would n't bend to your will ... victor : i was trying to help him ! victoria : after you made a pact with the woman who killed him , dad ! victor : she killed my son . that affected me greatly . do n't you understand that ? victoria : yes , i do . what if one of us cost you your son ? would you be able to forgive that ? phyllis : billy claimed that he could n't tell victoria we were back together because nikki was ill with an m.s . flare - up . michael : maybe it 's true . phyllis : according to jack and scott , nikki is looking perfectly healthy . michael : nikki knows how to power through illness . it 's what she does . but you think billy 's lying to you . phyllis : i saw him hugging victoria . michael : define hugging . phyllis : okay . it was n't a pat on the back kind of hug . it was a genuine hug- hug , michael . trust me . michael : if it was that intimate , why would they do it in front of you ? phyllis : they did n't know i was there . michael : so you were spying on them . phyllis : define spying . okay , fine . i was watching them . michael : which should n't surprise me at all because that 's what you do when you 're feeling insecure . phyllis : or when i feel like i 'm being played . michael : if you do n't trust the man , why would you even want to be with him ? phyllis : because we have a connection , all right ? a soul connection . there is a spark . it feels right when we 're together . michael : you do n't have all the facts . phyllis : i know what i saw . michael : is it possible that nikki really is ill and billy was hugging victoria because he was comforting her ? before you go crazy , maybe you ought to try talking to the guy . phyllis : oh , we are gon na talk , all right . we 're gon na talk . jack : believe it or not , i always have jabot 's best interest at heart . ashley : how can you say that to me when you 're sleeping with gloria ? jack : i 'm toeing the abbott line . what is it that dad always said ? `` never let personal life get in the way of business . `` it is n't easy . i 'm managing . ashley : no , you 're not ! you 're horrible at it . our father , he was great at it . even after dina broke his heart . jack : yeah . ashley : abandoned us without even a glance backwards . jack : somehow dad always managed to keep family and business together . ashley : i know . we were so lucky to have him as a father . i mean , he made us feel loved . jack : and cherished . ashley : daddy ... unlike dina . can you imagine ? walking out on your children like that ... i mean , i try to forget that we came from that , but we did . and i 'm sure we 're making our own mistakes where our kids are involved . jack : well , we 'd never turn our backs on them . we never would . ashley : i know , jack , but i mean , how can you be a great parent when we had such an absent role model ? jack : you just said it yourself -- because we had such an incredible father . ashley : but we have dina 's dna . jack : yeah , you got me there . you know , i only have one picture of me with mom from my childhood ? ashley : really ? i 've never seen it . jack : well , it 's in the back of a drawer . i would n't display it . ashley : why do you keep it at all ? jack : to remind me i will never let another human being do to me what our mother did to us . ashley : aww , jackie . is that why you hated divorcing all those women ? just pushed all your abandonment issues ? jack : at least i 'm not alone . you got the same issues . ashley : yep . well , i guess it 's the ultimate fear , is n't it ? jack : that the people we love will leave us . ashley : well , here 's to our mother . thanks for screwing us up , mom ! jack : [ chuckles ] ashley : cheers . [ knocks on door ] scott : victor . uh , your secretary said i should just come on in , but if it 's a bad time , i -- victor : come on in . how 's the book coming ? scott : you know , i think it 's going well . victor : i 'd like to read a few chapters . scott : and i look forward to showing them to you , but i 'm a bit confused by something that happened while you were away . victor : what 's that ? scott : nikki told me to stop working on the book . victor : why ? scott : you know , i get the sense that she was trying to protect you and the family , but when i asked her if there was something specific she was worried about , she denied it . victor : and you believed her ? scott : yeah , and no . cane : you know , i think as victoria suggested , the content for juliet 's press release should focus on how many new customers we 've acquired . billy : i think the year - to - year increase in what customers spend is a more compelling story . cane : well , it 's not your project , is it , billy ? victoria : you know , we can table this for now . cane , if you can document what we 've discussed , i have to check in with marketing before my meeting with the lawyers this afternoon . billy , can i speak with you alone for one minute , please ? billy : yeah , of course . what 's going on ? you all right ? victoria : yeah , i 'm okay . johnny 's teacher just texted me . you know that little boy howie whose family just moved here ? billy : yeah . the one who 's having a hard time finding friends , making friends ? victoria : yeah , his new classmate . well , today 's his birthday , and johnny made him a birthday card and asked him if he wanted to be friends . billy : he did ? victoria : yes . [ cell phone vibrates ] scott : nikki believes there will be this massive wave of people that you 've done wrong rallying to tell all . victor : and you doubt that ? scott : i expect it , but i do n't think that worries you . victor : do i look worried ? scott : what about your wife , your kids ? i mean , online harassment can be something . victor : well , scott , you 've got to know that my family has been in the limelight for a long time . scott : [ scoffs ] this is the limelight on steroids , amped by the news of chloe mitchell 's responsibility in adam 's death . victor : very unpleasant , indeed . but it 's over . scott : until , uh , chloe 's found and brought back here . victor : you think she may be found ? scott : there was a new development while you were gone . chloe reached out to kevin and your former son - in - law billy abbott . victor : contacted them how ? scott : she sent letters stating that either one of those men could be her child 's father . victor : and ? scott : kevin turned out to be the real dad . victor : that should make kevin happy . scott : yeah . yeah , he loves that little girl . victor : are the cops aware of it ? scott : they are all over those letters , man . they 're hoping to find any clue that can track down chloe . but being that the letters were mailed from two different places in the world , it might take some time . i 'm certain they 're gon na be able to find her eventually . victor : i 'll be very happy to know that the woman who killed my son gets what she deserves . anything else ? scott : no , i 'm just surprised . victor : by what ? scott : when nikki told me you were away , i would have laid odds that you were out searching for chloe . victor : interesting idea . scott : it 's logical . one , you 've got resources . two , you are n't saddled by rules like law enforcement . victor : and three ? scott : victor newman would never let anyone get away with murdering his son . michael : oh ! thanks . kevin : hi . thanks for squeezing me in . michael : it sounded important . kevin : it 's a dad thing . michael : mm . have a seat . kevin : thanks . i need advice on how to talk to bella about what happened to her mom . michael : what have you told her so far ? have you told her anything so far ? kevin : mostly esther and i have been playing `` distract the toddler . `` michael : kevin -- kevin : but she keeps asking questions , she 's not sleeping through the night anymore ... [ sighs ] nobody understands bella like chloe . michael : are you talking about bella , or you ? kevin : both of us , i guess . a part of me was ripped apart when chloe left . michael : kevin , she did n't just leave , she ran . kevin : the rational part of me gets that . [ sighs ] she murdered adam . that 's heinous . but the part of me that loves her understands why she did it and forgives her . i do n't know which part of me should be explaining this to my daughter . billy : you see my phone ? cane : unh - unh . billy : i got to take off for a second , all right ? [ cell phone rings ] victoria : victoria newman . yes . phyllis : two seconds . tell me why you have been lying to me . billy : what are you talking about ? phyllis : you told me that you could n't tell victoria that we were back together because nikki was sick . billy : nikki is sick . phyllis : nikki is n't sick ! i have proof . billy : okay , hold on a second . what are you talking about right now ? phyllis : is this whole m.s . flare - up just something that you concocted so you can play your two - women - against - each - other thing ? billy : i 'm telling you what victoria told me . phyllis : ohh ! okay , so she 's the one who 's lying now . billy : i do n't know who 's lying , okay ? i did n't concoct anything . i will tell victoria once i know that nikki 's health is stabilized . phyllis : stabilized from what ? a non - relapse ? i told you ! i told you i will not be the other woman . you are not gon na play me that way ! stop it ! michael : [ chuckles ] kevin : what ? what 's that look ? michael : oh , me being proud of my little baby brother . kevin : oh ! that 's what i do n't recognize it . [ sighs ] so you do n't think i 'm gon na mess things up with bella ? michael : listen to me . forgiving chloe is the very best thing you can do for that little girl . you 're allowing her to grow up knowing that she has a loving mother with a big heart . kevin : and the rest of it ? michael : well , wait till she 's older . listen , you 're good at this . kevin : thanks . i love my kid . my kid -- i ca n't believe i get to say that . i 'm gon na give her everything she needs , especially the non - tangibles . unconditional love ... michael : things we did n't get form our mother . kevin : gloria . michael : you have n't told her . kevin : well , can you blame me ? she hated chloe even before all this went down . michael : listen , bella is her granddaughter , and , you know , she has tried not -- kevin : i know , and she was amazing after the whole wedding fell apart . ugh , she 's gon na lose it when she finds out i 'm chloe 's baby daddy . michael : what 's gon na happen when the entire town knows about this and not gloria ? kevin : that would be bad . michael : no , you tell her , kevin . you tell her before she finds out from someone else . gloria : are you unhappy with my work ? jack : actually , i ca n't believe i kept you around this long . gloria : beg your pardon ? jack : what i meant to say was you 're doing great work and i 'm grateful that you 're here . gloria : just wondering . we have n't met at the athletic club lately . jack : i 've been busy . i 'm sorry if i made you feel abandoned . gloria : relax , jack . we agreed this is a relationship , friends with benefits . you do n't owe me anything . jack : but ... ? gloria : our late - night tryst made life more interesting . jack : on that , we are in full accord . gloria : [ chuckles ] mmm ! who 'd have thought we 'd ever get to this place ? jack : not me . and certainly not john abbott . neil : dina has n't been in the abbotts ' lives for years . devon : then why would jack and ashley have a problem , then , if we acquired the company ? neil : you know how it is . families are complicated . devon : yeah , but i mean , this is business . you and i are businessmen . i 'm not gon na back away from the deal just 'cause there could be a chance the abbotts have a problem or get mad . neil : you know ... you are absolutely right . this mergeron deal ? victor newman would be all over it . victor : well , as much as i 'd like to make the person who killed my son pay for what they did ... i will not go after chloe . scott : you 're that forgiving ? victor : i 'm not gon na go to prison again . scott : can i quote you for the book ? victor : unless i fire you before . scott : in that case , i 'll make sure to e - mail you those brilliant chapters right away . thank you , victor . victor : welcome . and scott ? scott : hmm ? victor : just remember one thing . i call the shots . no one else . scott : you got it . cane : hey . victoria : hey . cane : hey , uh , you should get going if you want to make the meeting with the lawyers , okay ? victoria : oh , no , i -- i still have time , actually . cane : no , i just checked the traffic , and there 's a big accident across town , so you 're gon na have to take an alternate route . victoria : oh , my goodness . thank you for the heads up . i should leave now , then . cane : what 's wrong ? victoria : the damn elevator does n't seem to be working . the call button wo n't light up . cane : all right , uh , i 'll call maintenance for you , okay ? victoria : okay . thanks . phyllis : every time that i get angry , you try to stop me by kissing me , and i 'm not gon na let you do that anymore . i want the truth . billy : okay , you want the truth ? phyllis : yes ! billy : this is the truth . i will tell victoria because i ca n't stand the fact that we have to lie about wanting to be together . i ca n't stop thinking about you . when you turn to me in the middle of the night ... ... the taste of your perfume when i kiss your neck ... ... your voice when you whisper and even when you yell at me like that , i pull you towards me and i never want to let go . neil : you 're right , son . mergeron would be an excellent acquisition for our company . but let 's not forget , there 's gon na be a lot of larger companies with established reputations that are gon na be bidding on it , as well . devon : well , that 's why we 're gon na be first in line . is your passport up to date ? neil : yeah . why ? devon : 'cause we 're flying to paris to meet dina mergeron . you in ? neil : damn right , i 'm in . devon : let 's do it , man . neil : yeah . ashley : hey , you ! ravi : hey ! ravi : thanks so much for dropping by and bringing me that rose . it was very sweet . no pun intended . ravi : now , a month ago , i would never have had the nerve to just drop by , certainly not with a rose or , you know , any other flower . ashley : [ laughs ] well , i 'm glad you did . ravi : sometimes it 's good to take a risk . ashley : yeah , i 've been taking some of those lately myself . ravi : yeah , i 've noticed . ashley : right ? i was talking to jack , and i kind of realized that maybe i 've lived my life in a certain way out of fear . ravi : what frightens you ? ashley : honestly , possibly ending up like my mother , maybe . ravi : huh . you 've just never mentioned her before . ashley : i know , and you were always too polite to ask . ravi : well , if you want to talk about her now , you can . ashley , why have you never mentioned her before ? ashley : because i hate her . jack : no , i have n't checked the news . yeah , ashley knocked it out of the park with that conference . we 're still getting all kinds of press for our products . yeah , i 'm pulling it up right now . all right . perfect . i 'll talk to you soon , then . gloria : so , what 's so important we have to talk now ? i have a job , you know . kevin : i know , mom . gloria : was chloe found ? kevin : no . have a seat . gloria : [ sighs ] kevin : this is about bella . gloria : oh , yeah ? she all right ? she 's not sick , is she ? well , whatever it is , just keep the child away from me because i do n't need to catch it . kevin : she 's fine , mom , except for missing her mother . gloria : of course she does . say what you will about chloe . for all appearances , she was a loving mother . i 'll give her that . and it is awful that that little girl 's going to grow up without either of her parents . kevin : actually , she wo n't . well , it turns out that i 'm bella 's biological father . gloria : hmm . victor : no more interruptions today , okay ? chloe : how did you find me ? you said you never wanted to see me again . victor : did n't i tell you that if i ever crossed your path again , you would lose everything ? chloe : victor ... victor : did you think you could hide from me ? chloe : you wanted me gone to protect yourself . victor : i wanted away from your insanity . chloe : i 'm better . victor : if that were the case , the institution that housed you would have released you on their own . without my involvement . admit it . chloe : i 'm not crazy . victor : ohh . well , if you 're not crazy , then you killed my son while you were sane . so what do you think the next thing is going to be ? chloe : you 're gon na kill me ? ashley : i just want to make sure that i get everything that jack needs . ravi : ashley ... hate is a strong , especially when applied to one 's mother . ashley : yes , it is a strong word , but she deserted jack , traci , and me when we were very , very young children . ravi : oh , i 'm sorry . ashley : she just walked out and she never looked back . ravi : you never kept in contact ? ashley : well , we were children , and she never acknowledged our birthdays or graduations or anything . ravi : i 'm so sorry to hear that . sounds like you had a mother who was thoughtless and unkind . ashley : and what does that say about me ? ravi : hey . it says that despite all that , you are brilliant , you are considerate , you are loving ... you know what else ? you 're nothing like your mother . nothing at all . gloria : [ chuckles ] so you and billy had dna tests , and you 're the daddy . that 's it ? kevin : [ exhales sharply ] you 're freaking me out right now , mom . you have n't said a word about how this permanently connects me to chloe . gloria : are you happy about this , kevin ? kevin : what do you think ? gloria : then i am happy for you . kevin : you are gon na be a terrific -- well , interesting grandmother to your first granddaughter . do you know how much fun you and bella could have together ? gloria : i will do my best . really . kevin : i know . i appreciate it . gloria : in fact , we are going to give that little girl the best family we can . kevin : i just wish i could talk to chloe one more time , tell her that bella is mine , and let her know how happy i am about it . victor : tell me . chloe : he never suffered , okay ? i promise you . adam never suffered . victor : you 've lied to me before . chloe : i swear on my daughter 's life . your son never suffered . victor : unlike you , i 'm not a murderer . you take this and disappear . that 's enough money in there for you . chloe : but i ca n't -- victor : i will drag you back to genoa city . chloe : yeah , but you ca n't because when they find out that you used me for framing adam , you 'll be arrested . victor : i 've survived prison . i seriously doubt you will survive maximum security . chloe : okay . okay , i 'll leave . [ sighs ] you have to do me one thing . my daughter . i do n't want bella growing up an orphan . there are two men that might be her father . i just -- i want to tell them , let them know , and then they can find out the truth , and then she can be raised by her biological father . victor : let me tell you something . do n't ever play games with me . i will do this for your daughter 's sake . you write a letter to both of these guys , and i 'll see to it that they get it . chloe : why should i trust you ? victor : what choice do you have ? victoria : [ sighs ] this is weird . i 'm just gon na take the stairs . cane : hang on , i 'm on the phone with maintenance . they said someone locked out the elevator . victoria : who would do that in the middle of a work day ? cane : they do n't know , but they said it was n't them , and they 're gon na override the lock right now . victoria : thank you . oh , my god . [ next_on ] jack : you 're not even a little curious as to why our mother has her company up for sale ? neil : let 's not get ahead of ourselves . there is no guarantee that we 're gon na make this deal close . victor : we have n't made a big acquisition for a while . maybe this might be a good time .	neil and devon meet at the athletic club to discuss their upcoming business venture . at home , ashley and jack discuss nikki asking him for help in getting her spunk back . jack still insists that something is going on between nikki and victor that they are trying to hide from the public . ashley also asks jack about gloria . phyllis and scott meet at the coffeehouse for small talk and what is going on in their lives . billy , cane , and victoria have a short strategy meeting in her office . cane mentions to billy that he and victoria are getting closer . in his office at newman , victoria and victor discuss the gift that he bought for reed without first asking her and also the fact that he made abby ceo of newman . michael interrupts scott and phyllis to find out where kevin is . michael and phyllis discuss that she saw billy give victoria a hug . phyllis is steaming with jealousy . michael tries to calm her down advising her to talk to billy about the matter . jack assures ashley that he will always have jabot 's best interest at heart . scott visits victor to discuss the book 's progress . scott tells him that nikki asked him to stop writing the book . when victoria and billy leave the room to discuss johnny 's birthday party , cane reads a text from phyllis to billy to meet in the elevator .	<s>[INST] victor : a dozen roses within the hour , okay ? yep . hi , sweetheart . victoria : i hope you know a dozen roses is n't gon na buy mom 's forgiveness . victor : these roses are meant for an employee who 's in the hospital . victoria : well , i 'm sorry to hear that . victor : some coffee ? victoria : no , i 'm not here for a visit . i came by to make sure you got the car key i dropped off for you . victor : i did . and i 'm gon na give that car key and the car back to reed where it belongs . victoria : what ? no . dad . victor : that was a gift to my grandson ! victoria : as his mother , i 'm not gon na let you control him the same way you tried to control me . cane : hey . phyllis : you need to tell victoria about us . right now . and i 'm very sorry that nikki is suffering . i really feel bad . but i am not going to be the other woman , sneaking around . billy : hey , hey ... phyllis : it 's not gon na happen . billy : there is no other woman . you 're the only woman in my life , you hear me ? cane : hey , you 're here early , huh ? billy : wrapping up some work from last night . cane : yeah ? that was a good night . we got to know each other a little bit better . billy : i know enough about you already , cane , thank you very much . cane : well , that 's the difference between you and me , 'cause i keep myself open to new ideas . you know what , as a matter of fact , i even have a new insight about you . billy : is that right ? what would those insights be ? scott : hey , phyllis ! phyllis : oh , you 're way too cheery this early in the morning . scott : well , i got some , uh , pretty cool -- phyllis : [ sighs ] do n't tell me it 's because things are happening in your love life . scott : whoa ! what happened ? last time i saw you , you were happy for me . phyllis : i was . i 'm sorry . i just -- love is really busting my chops right now . scott : you met someone ? phyllis : which was great , until it was n't . but actually ... you may be able to help me out . neil : yes , sir . and the best news is , construction is well ahead of schedule . you know that never happens . devon : we 'll be laying out our whole floor of offices before you know it . neil : hamilton - winters . i ca n't wait to get this thing off the ground . devon : me neither . neil : uh - oh . did you already find a company to acquire ? devon : yes , i did . neil : you sure did . that is fast . how 'd you make the selection ? devon : i channeled you , thought about which company you would pick and why , and that 's what i did . i think you 'll be impressed , too . neil : oh ? so i 'm more impressed with the fact that you moved as fast as you did on this . what 's the name of the company ? devon : hang on . neil : let me see . mergeron enterprises . devon : are you familiar with it ? neil : very much so . incredibly successful . and the owner has quite a history with the abbotts . jack : i 'm gon na have to give mrs. martinez a raise . if people find out how good her muffins are , she 's gon na leave me and open her own bakery . ashley : well , i 'm sure gloria would be happy to fill in . jack : now why 'd you just do that ? we just had a lovely breakfast together . ashley : and it was lovely because gloria was n't there . jack : would you just drop it ? ashley : no , i just ca n't , jack . please , give me a valid -- jack : we have already exhausted this subject . ashley : no , we have n't . we have n't even scratched the surface . jack : okay , i 'm gon na ask this nicely . would you please not talk about gloria ? ashley : only if you have something more pressing going on in your life . jack : nikki invited me out to the ranch last night . ashley : and you went ? jack : well , yeah . victor was out of town . ashley : oh , my god , you never learn . devon : so , yeah , how is mergeron enterprises connected to the abbotts ? neil : dina mergeron , c.e.o . she was once married -- thanks -- to john abbott . devon : really ? i did n't read anything about that when i was researching the company . neil : it was probably because she 's responsible for that . devon : so jack , traci , and ashley are dina mergeron 's kids ? neil : mm . she 's an excellent leader , you know . mergeron is a powerhouse in the world of technology . devon : well , yeah , and they also have a number of diverse interests , which work for what we 're doing . neil : all this seems to have happened since dina took over . devon : well , after mr. mergeron passed away . but it 's the streaming service that she developed that initially attracted me to the company because i would love to incorporate that into our music division . neil : right , right . no , i know . she 's got her faults , but she 's the real deal . she 's a savvy businesswoman . devon : what kind of faults you talking about ? neil : well , from what i know , she walked out on john and the kids when they were very young . jack and his sisters , they , you know , they never forgave her . devon : so acquiring dina 's company could be a problem for the abbotts . jack : nikki needed my help . ashley : with what ? jack : in her words , to get her mojo back . ashley : you did n't . jack : i believe i did . ashley : you 're messing with me -- do n't do it . it 's a bad day for obvious reasons . jack : okay , nikki asked for some suggestions on how to improve her life . ashley : well , did you tell her to divorce her husband ? again ? jack : yes . and then when her husband walked in on us ... ashley : no . jack : i noticed a distinct chill in the air . there is trouble in paradise . ashley : no . i do n't believe that , jackie . there 's no way . it 's victor and nikki . it 's a lovers ' quarrel . jack : no , no , no , no , no . this is different this time . this time it appears nikki has had it with his domineering ways . anyway , enough about that . let 's talk about you . you seem happy . or you certainly seemed happy when ravi got here last night . ashley : oh , you want to talk about ravi ? we could do that . but it 's not gon na stop me from talking about gloria . scott : if i can offer up some help , then it 's all yours . what do you need ? phyllis : you 're writing victor 's biography , which requires you talking with his family , right ? scott : right . phyllis : has anyone mentioned anything about nikki 's health ? scott : i 'm not sure how that relates to your love life , unless you and nick are thinking about getting back together . phyllis : no . no , no . that 's not in the cards . scott : sorry . it 's just the journalist in me . phyllis : right now , i need a friend more than a journalist . scott : of course . phyllis : nikki 's health ? scott : as a friend , as far as i can tell , nikki 's fine . phyllis : so you do n't know for sure if there 's been an incident about the m.s . flaring up . scott : i saw her the other day . did n't seem to be anything physically wrong with her . michael : hey ! either of you seen kevin ? mm , am i interrupting ? scott : not at all . i was actually about ready to head out . i got an appointment . but , uh , hey , you gon na be okay ? phyllis : absolutely . thank you . scott : yeah . michael : holding it in is n't going to help . so , um , start talking . billy : so , go ahead , cane . look deep into my soul , share these profound insights . cane : i do n't know , just at last night 's dinner , you and victoria seemed to be getting closer together . it 's just a shame that jill was n't there to see it , right ? billy : oh , you care about my relationship with vicki all of a sudden ? cane : yeah , why would n't i ? you 're my co - worker . she 's my boss . billy : well , i 'm not buying that , so why do n't you tell me what 's really going on ? cane : okay . so , tell me , is something going on between you and victoria ? billy : it 's got you spun out , huh ? cane : uh - huh . billy : so how do we really get you around the bend ? maybe i tell you that vicki and i are getting back together ... ... or maybe i tell you we 're playing nice for the sake of the kids . cane : or maybe you could go against your natural instinct to lie and tell the truth for a change , billy . maybe you could do that , do n't you think ? victor : what you call control i call love . victoria : love ? love ? buying my 16-year - old an expensive car , making abby temporary c.e.o . victor : it 's a loving gesture . victoria : investing in chelsea 's company . victor : it 's ensuring my grandson 's future . victoria : so , what are you gon na do for nick 's kids ? are you gon na buy them nobel prizes ? victor : do n't exaggerate , okay ? victoria : you 're bribing my son . victor : will you listen to me ? you 're a busy mother . you run a company . i thought you 'd be happy if reed had a car that needs to take him where he needs to go ! victoria : if i wanted to buy my son a car , i would have done it myself . so why do n't you just admit -- admit , dad , what you 're really doing . victor : i 'm a loving , generous grandfather . that 's what i 'm doing ! victoria : mm - hmm , yeah . you 're attempting to bribe every single family member that has no idea what the truth is about you . i do n't know why i bother . victor : what , you 're just gon na walk out on me , or what ? victoria : you know that forgiving you accomplishes nothing ? you turned our forgiveness into a blank check , carte blanche so you could do whatever you want ! and when adam would n't bend to your will ... victor : i was trying to help him ! victoria : after you made a pact with the woman who killed him , dad ! victor : she killed my son . that affected me greatly . do n't you understand that ? victoria : yes , i do . what if one of us cost you your son ? would you be able to forgive that ? phyllis : billy claimed that he could n't tell victoria we were back together because nikki was ill with an m.s . flare - up . michael : maybe it 's true . phyllis : according to jack and scott , nikki is looking perfectly healthy . michael : nikki knows how to power through illness . it 's what she does . but you think billy 's lying to you . phyllis : i saw him hugging victoria . michael : define hugging . phyllis : okay . it was n't a pat on the back kind of hug . it was a genuine hug- hug , michael . trust me . michael : if it was that intimate , why would they do it in front of you ? phyllis : they did n't know i was there . michael : so you were spying on them . phyllis : define spying . okay , fine . i was watching them . michael : which should n't surprise me at all because that 's what you do when you 're feeling insecure . phyllis : or when i feel like i 'm being played . michael : if you do n't trust the man , why would you even want to be with him ? phyllis : because we have a connection , all right ? a soul connection . there is a spark . it feels right when we 're together . michael : you do n't have all the facts . phyllis : i know what i saw . michael : is it possible that nikki really is ill and billy was hugging victoria because he was comforting her ? before you go crazy , maybe you ought to try talking to the guy . phyllis : oh , we are gon na talk , all right . we 're gon na talk . jack : believe it or not , i always have jabot 's best interest at heart . ashley : how can you say that to me when you 're sleeping with gloria ? jack : i 'm toeing the abbott line . what is it that dad always said ? `` never let personal life get in the way of business . `` it is n't easy . i 'm managing . ashley : no , you 're not ! you 're horrible at it . our father , he was great at it . even after dina broke his heart . jack : yeah . ashley : abandoned us without even a glance backwards . jack : somehow dad always managed to keep family and business together . ashley : i know . we were so lucky to have him as a father . i mean , he made us feel loved . jack : and cherished . ashley : daddy ... unlike dina . can you imagine ? walking out on your children like that ... i mean , i try to forget that we came from that , but we did . and i 'm sure we 're making our own mistakes where our kids are involved . jack : well , we 'd never turn our backs on them . we never would . ashley : i know , jack , but i mean , how can you be a great parent when we had such an absent role model ? jack : you just said it yourself -- because we had such an incredible father . ashley : but we have dina 's dna . jack : yeah , you got me there . you know , i only have one picture of me with mom from my childhood ? ashley : really ? i 've never seen it . jack : well , it 's in the back of a drawer . i would n't display it . ashley : why do you keep it at all ? jack : to remind me i will never let another human being do to me what our mother did to us . ashley : aww , jackie . is that why you hated divorcing all those women ? just pushed all your abandonment issues ? jack : at least i 'm not alone . you got the same issues . ashley : yep . well , i guess it 's the ultimate fear , is n't it ? jack : that the people we love will leave us . ashley : well , here 's to our mother . thanks for screwing us up , mom ! jack : [ chuckles ] ashley : cheers . [ knocks on door ] scott : victor . uh , your secretary said i should just come on in , but if it 's a bad time , i -- victor : come on in . how 's the book coming ? scott : you know , i think it 's going well . victor : i 'd like to read a few chapters . scott : and i look forward to showing them to you , but i 'm a bit confused by something that happened while you were away . victor : what 's that ? scott : nikki told me to stop working on the book . victor : why ? scott : you know , i get the sense that she was trying to protect you and the family , but when i asked her if there was something specific she was worried about , she denied it . victor : and you believed her ? scott : yeah , and no . cane : you know , i think as victoria suggested , the content for juliet 's press release should focus on how many new customers we 've acquired . billy : i think the year - to - year increase in what customers spend is a more compelling story . cane : well , it 's not your project , is it , billy ? victoria : you know , we can table this for now . cane , if you can document what we 've discussed , i have to check in with marketing before my meeting with the lawyers this afternoon . billy , can i speak with you alone for one minute , please ? billy : yeah , of course . what 's going on ? you all right ? victoria : yeah , i 'm okay . johnny 's teacher just texted me . you know that little boy howie whose family just moved here ? billy : yeah . the one who 's having a hard time finding friends , making friends ? victoria : yeah , his new classmate . well , today 's his birthday , and johnny made him a birthday card and asked him if he wanted to be friends . billy : he did ? victoria : yes . [ cell phone vibrates ] scott : nikki believes there will be this massive wave of people that you 've done wrong rallying to tell all . victor : and you doubt that ? scott : i expect it , but i do n't think that worries you . victor : do i look worried ? scott : what about your wife , your kids ? i mean , online harassment can be something . victor : well , scott , you 've got to know that my family has been in the limelight for a long time . scott : [ scoffs ] this is the limelight on steroids , amped by the news of chloe mitchell 's responsibility in adam 's death . victor : very unpleasant , indeed . but it 's over . scott : until , uh , chloe 's found and brought back here . victor : you think she may be found ? scott : there was a new development while you were gone . chloe reached out to kevin and your former son - in - law billy abbott . victor : contacted them how ? scott : she sent letters stating that either one of those men could be her child 's father . victor : and ? scott : kevin turned out to be the real dad . victor : that should make kevin happy . scott : yeah . yeah , he loves that little girl . victor : are the cops aware of it ? scott : they are all over those letters , man . they 're hoping to find any clue that can track down chloe . but being that the letters were mailed from two different places in the world , it might take some time . i 'm certain they 're gon na be able to find her eventually . victor : i 'll be very happy to know that the woman who killed my son gets what she deserves . anything else ? scott : no , i 'm just surprised . victor : by what ? scott : when nikki told me you were away , i would have laid odds that you were out searching for chloe . victor : interesting idea . scott : it 's logical . one , you 've got resources . two , you are n't saddled by rules like law enforcement . victor : and three ? scott : victor newman would never let anyone get away with murdering his son . michael : oh ! thanks . kevin : hi . thanks for squeezing me in . michael : it sounded important . kevin : it 's a dad thing . michael : mm . have a seat . kevin : thanks . i need advice on how to talk to bella about what happened to her mom . michael : what have you told her so far ? have you told her anything so far ? kevin : mostly esther and i have been playing `` distract the toddler . `` michael : kevin -- kevin : but she keeps asking questions , she 's not sleeping through the night anymore ... [ sighs ] nobody understands bella like chloe . michael : are you talking about bella , or you ? kevin : both of us , i guess . a part of me was ripped apart when chloe left . michael : kevin , she did n't just leave , she ran . kevin : the rational part of me gets that . [ sighs ] she murdered adam . that 's heinous . but the part of me that loves her understands why she did it and forgives her . i do n't know which part of me should be explaining this to my daughter . billy : you see my phone ? cane : unh - unh . billy : i got to take off for a second , all right ? [ cell phone rings ] victoria : victoria newman . yes . phyllis : two seconds . tell me why you have been lying to me . billy : what are you talking about ? phyllis : you told me that you could n't tell victoria that we were back together because nikki was sick . billy : nikki is sick . phyllis : nikki is n't sick ! i have proof . billy : okay , hold on a second . what are you talking about right now ? phyllis : is this whole m.s . flare - up just something that you concocted so you can play your two - women - against - each - other thing ? billy : i 'm telling you what victoria told me . phyllis : ohh ! okay , so she 's the one who 's lying now . billy : i do n't know who 's lying , okay ? i did n't concoct anything . i will tell victoria once i know that nikki 's health is stabilized . phyllis : stabilized from what ? a non - relapse ? i told you ! i told you i will not be the other woman . you are not gon na play me that way ! stop it ! michael : [ chuckles ] kevin : what ? what 's that look ? michael : oh , me being proud of my little baby brother . kevin : oh ! that 's what i do n't recognize it . [ sighs ] so you do n't think i 'm gon na mess things up with bella ? michael : listen to me . forgiving chloe is the very best thing you can do for that little girl . you 're allowing her to grow up knowing that she has a loving mother with a big heart . kevin : and the rest of it ? michael : well , wait till she 's older . listen , you 're good at this . kevin : thanks . i love my kid . my kid -- i ca n't believe i get to say that . i 'm gon na give her everything she needs , especially the non - tangibles . unconditional love ... michael : things we did n't get form our mother . kevin : gloria . michael : you have n't told her . kevin : well , can you blame me ? she hated chloe even before all this went down . michael : listen , bella is her granddaughter , and , you know , she has tried not -- kevin : i know , and she was amazing after the whole wedding fell apart . ugh , she 's gon na lose it when she finds out i 'm chloe 's baby daddy . michael : what 's gon na happen when the entire town knows about this and not gloria ? kevin : that would be bad . michael : no , you tell her , kevin . you tell her before she finds out from someone else . gloria : are you unhappy with my work ? jack : actually , i ca n't believe i kept you around this long . gloria : beg your pardon ? jack : what i meant to say was you 're doing great work and i 'm grateful that you 're here . gloria : just wondering . we have n't met at the athletic club lately . jack : i 've been busy . i 'm sorry if i made you feel abandoned . gloria : relax , jack . we agreed this is a relationship , friends with benefits . you do n't owe me anything . jack : but ... ? gloria : our late - night tryst made life more interesting . jack : on that , we are in full accord . gloria : [ chuckles ] mmm ! who 'd have thought we 'd ever get to this place ? jack : not me . and certainly not john abbott . neil : dina has n't been in the abbotts ' lives for years . devon : then why would jack and ashley have a problem , then , if we acquired the company ? neil : you know how it is . families are complicated . devon : yeah , but i mean , this is business . you and i are businessmen . i 'm not gon na back away from the deal just 'cause there could be a chance the abbotts have a problem or get mad . neil : you know ... you are absolutely right . this mergeron deal ? victor newman would be all over it . victor : well , as much as i 'd like to make the person who killed my son pay for what they did ... i will not go after chloe . scott : you 're that forgiving ? victor : i 'm not gon na go to prison again . scott : can i quote you for the book ? victor : unless i fire you before . scott : in that case , i 'll make sure to e - mail you those brilliant chapters right away . thank you , victor . victor : welcome . and scott ? scott : hmm ? victor : just remember one thing . i call the shots . no one else . scott : you got it . cane : hey . victoria : hey . cane : hey , uh , you should get going if you want to make the meeting with the lawyers , okay ?

phyllis : yes ! billy : this is the truth . i will tell victoria because i ca n't stand the fact that we have to lie about wanting to be together . i ca n't stop thinking about you . when you turn to me in the middle of the night ... ... the taste of your perfume when i kiss your neck ... ... your voice when you whisper and even when you yell at me like that , i pull you towards me and i never want to let go . neil : you 're right , son . mergeron would be an excellent acquisition for our company . but let 's not forget , there 's gon na be a lot of larger companies with established reputations that are gon na be bidding on it , as well . devon : well , that 's why we 're gon na be first in line . is your passport up to date ? neil : yeah . why ? devon : 'cause we 're flying to paris to meet dina mergeron . you in ? neil : damn right , i 'm in . devon : let 's do it , man . neil : yeah . ashley : hey , you ! ravi : hey ! ravi : thanks so much for dropping by and bringing me that rose . it was very sweet . no pun intended . ravi : now , a month ago , i would never have had the nerve to just drop by , certainly not with a rose or , you know , any other flower . ashley : [ laughs ] well , i 'm glad you did . ravi : sometimes it 's good to take a risk . ashley : yeah , i 've been taking some of those lately myself . ravi : yeah , i 've noticed . ashley : right ? i was talking to jack , and i kind of realized that maybe i 've lived my life in a certain way out of fear . ravi : what frightens you ? ashley : honestly , possibly ending up like my mother , maybe . ravi : huh . you 've just never mentioned her before . ashley : i know , and you were always too polite to ask . ravi : well , if you want to talk about her now , you can . ashley , why have you never mentioned her before ? ashley : because i hate her . jack : no , i have n't checked the news . yeah , ashley knocked it out of the park with that conference . we 're still getting all kinds of press for our products . yeah , i 'm pulling it up right now . all right . perfect . i 'll talk to you soon , then . gloria : so , what 's so important we have to talk now ? i have a job , you know . kevin : i know , mom . gloria : was chloe found ? kevin : no . have a seat . gloria : [ sighs ] kevin : this is about bella . gloria : oh , yeah ? she all right ? she 's not sick , is she ?

chloe : how did you find me ? you said you never wanted to see me again . victor : did n't i tell you that if i ever crossed your path again , you would lose everything ? chloe : victor ... victor : did you think you could hide from me ? chloe : you wanted me gone to protect yourself . victor : i wanted away from your insanity . chloe : i 'm better . victor : if that were the case , the institution that housed you would have released you on their own . without my involvement . admit it . chloe : i 'm not crazy . victor : ohh . well , if you 're not crazy , then you killed my son while you were sane . so what do you think the next thing is going to be ? chloe : you 're gon na kill me ? ashley : i just want to make sure that i get everything that jack needs . ravi : ashley ... hate is a strong , especially when applied to one 's mother . ashley : yes , it is a strong word , but she deserted jack , traci , and me when we were very , very young children . ravi : oh , i 'm sorry . ashley : she just walked out and she never looked back . ravi : you never kept in contact ? ashley : well , we were children , and she never acknowledged our birthdays or graduations or anything . ravi : i 'm so sorry to hear that . sounds like you had a mother who was thoughtless and unkind . ashley : and what does that say about me ? ravi : hey . it says that despite all that , you are brilliant , you are considerate , you are loving ... you know what else ? you 're nothing like your mother . nothing at all . gloria : [ chuckles ] so you and billy had dna tests , and you 're the daddy . that 's it ? kevin : [ exhales sharply ] you 're freaking me out right now , mom . you have n't said a word about how this permanently connects me to chloe . gloria : are you happy about this , kevin ? kevin : what do you think ?

[ scoffs ] i knew that guy was bad news . jordan : okay , well , we ca n't jump to any conclusions . amy : i think we can . i read some of the report on my way up to you . i saw the results of the fingerprint testing . jordan : nurse driscoll , you are not a police officer , okay ? you were told to deliver these files , not read them . valerie : what 's it say , boss ? jordan : uh , that the only fingerprints on the vial ... ... were franco 's . [ scene_break ] franco : [ blows ] elizabeth : so , where exactly are we ? franco : this is my studio . and , uh , i brought you here because this is a place where i feel very alive -- truly alive . i 've been here a lot lately . i ca n't eat . i ca n't sleep . i 've just been making art . and , uh , in those moments , nothing else matters . all the rules and judgments of the world just fall away . elizabeth : franco , what do you want with me ? [ scene_break ] [ slow - tempo music playing ] nina : [ sniffles ] bartender : i 've heard of crying in your beer , but this is your first drink . you okay ? nina : thank you . yeah , i 'm fine . i just , um -- i 'm reading all of these responses that i got to the organ - donor story that i wrote for crimson , and , um ... it just spurred all these people to tell me their stories . i mean , they 're ... [ voice breaking ] these are incredible , incredible parents who , um , were willing to do anything for their children . i 'm just inspired by them . while other parents -- they 'll do anything to exploit their children .

[ scene_break ] valerie : franco had a plausible explanation for why he was in the patient 's room . he said he was bringing her a small statue that she made in art therapy . and amy checked and confirmed that the statue was in her room . curtis : you know , um , ms . prescott could have taken the statue into the room herself . did , um , she confirm franco 's story ? valerie : no , she was sleeping . amy : i checked . ms. prescott was fine . all of her vitals were stable , and her monitors were functioning normally . curtis : what made you suspicious in the first place ? amy : franco , obviously . i saw him go into the patient 's room , and he was acting all ... shifty . curtis : shifty . would you say he was acting suspicious , maybe , or on edge ? amy : no . he was just ... ominous . and he was holding a flower , like one you 'd put on someone 's grave . valerie : a flower ? or like you 'd give to someone who 's in the hospital . amy : i guess . but i was right , was n't i ? he killed her . jordan : okay , we do n't know that for sure . curtis : where exactly did you find that vial ? jordan : curtis . it 's fine . i 'll take it from here . curtis : right . uh ...

[ chuckles ] franco : yeah ? okay . i mean , i wanted to create a space that was separate from the world , that was separate from reality , and , yeah , it 's a little weird , because i 'm a little weird . and i brought you here because i was hoping you 'd get to know me a little better 'cause i really want to get to know you a little better . and the floating rib -- i 'm just not comfortable there , where half the hospital staff goes after work for a drink . a drink . elizabeth : [ chuckles ] franco : a drink . i did promise you champagne , right ? [ clatter ] franco : all right . so , uh , be prepared to be impressed by how well i can pop a cork . unless -- i 'll tell you what , why do n't -- why do n't you do this , and , uh , i 'll let you pour it in the glasses , too , if you want . elizabeth : okay , that -- that sounds good . [ chuckles ] franco : except that ... elizabeth : okay . franco : ... i do n't have the glasses . so , i 'll go get them . that 'll give you a chance to call the cops . elizabeth : oh , i 'm sure that 's not gon na be necessary . franco : yeah , you wo n't get through to anybody , anyway . the reception 's lousy in here . [ scene_break ] carly : welcome back ! um , i was n't expecting to see you tonight . i -- i thought you said your trip was open - ended . finn : i got everything done in record time . and thank you so much for looking after roxy . did you cause any trouble while i was gone ? carly : [ chuckles ] well , the staff is finally getting used to her , right ? finn : oh , yeah ? carly : and josslyn loved having her . she 's at lacrosse camp and at a game , so i 'm just filling in , and roxy was great company . definitely a conversation starter . finn : that she is . [ telephone ringing ] carly : oh , sorry . finn : sure . carly : metro court . carly corinthos . okay , calm -- calm down . i - i thought that that was taken care of . okay , yeah , no , no . i will be right there , i promise . okay . i 'm so sorry . you have to excuse me . i have business to take care of , okay ? finn : no , no , when duty calls . thank you again for looking after roxy . carly : sure . no problem . finn : [ sighs ] i 'm -- i 'm sorry i did n't bring you anything . it was n't really that kind of trip . do n't act all standoffish . i know you missed me . come on . [ smooches ] jax : from the way that lizard 's looking at you , i 'd say it 's true love . finn : this is roxy , my service animal . jax : and a lovely one at that . may i ? finn : s - sure . jax : ohh . finn : you seem to have an affinity for bearded dragons . jax : well , how could you not ? i mean , they 're very intelligent , and they scare away anyone not worth having a conversation with . finn : huh . that 's a very interesting viewpoint . jax : i grew up in australia . i saw these lizards all the time . you know , sometimes i thought about keeping one as a pet , but they seemed so content roaming wild that i just -- i never wanted to . i mean , not that i blame you . if i needed a service animal , i 'm sure that , uh -- roxy , was it ? finn : mm - hmm . jax : roxy would be my choice . finn : i must say , you have fantastic taste . carly : jax ? what are you doing here ? [ scene_break ] jordan : we need to find franco now . valerie : okay . willis and i will go to his place and pick him up . jordan : okay . amy : you could do that , but you wo n't find him there . jordan : and why is that , nurse driscoll ? amy : he 's on a date with elizabeth webber . jordan : mm . amy : i have a feeling that she would only agree to go on a date with him if it was in a very public place . i may have heard something in passing . jordan : right . call elizabeth webber , please . do you have her contact number ? we need to find out where franco could have gone . does he have an office ? amy : not really . he mostly keeps to the art - therapy room . jordan : i mean , what about -- what about coworkers ? i mean , there must be someone that we can talk to who he shared his information with , his plans . amy : franco usually works alone . besides elizabeth and dr. obrecht , everyone who works here pretty much wants nothing to do with him . jordan : okay , well , there must be someone -- someone who can give us a little insight into franco 's plans . valerie : do you think he 'd hurt elizabeth ? jordan : well , i mean , who can really say , right ? franco -- he has a well- documented history of violence . he got off on a technicality . i mean , people believe that getting rid of the tumor did not get rid of the threat . [ elevator dings ] amy : dr. maddox does the psych evaluations on everyone on staff , which i think is pretty smart [ chuckles ] 'cause some of the people here are real doozies . [ chuckles ] not that i 've ever peeked at any of their files . jordan : elizabeth 's phone number . amy : right . jordan : dr. maddox . andré : commissioner ashford . were you looking for me ? jordan : uh , not exactly . okay . but i - i could use your help . [ scene_break ] franco : sorry about that . i thought i had the glasses ready , but they were still packed up . here you go . elizabeth : mm . franco : how 'd that phone call to the cops go ? elizabeth : i 'm texting my babysitter . franco : mm - hmm . with your exact location ? i get it . elizabeth : well , i do like her to know where i am . it 's just not going through right now . franco : i told you . reception 's crappy down here . elizabeth : oh , there it goes . it went through . [ chuckles ] franco : great . you feel better ? come on . [ glasses clatter ] pour us these glasses of champagne . elizabeth : oh , right . of course . it 's kind of dark in here . do you want to turn the lights on so i can see what i 'm doing ? franco : yeah , sure . no problem . elizabeth : what is all this stuff ? franco : just stuff . stuff i found inspiring , stuff i found along the way and just held onto . [ champagne fizzes ] elizabeth : is this all new ? franco : mm , i do n't know . i mean , kind of . i have n't been here that long . i only got the space after nina broke up with me . been painting like a madman . i mean -- okay , i 've been very productive . that 's what i mean . it 's just that , to date , my work has always been very dark , very angry . that seems to bother a lot of people . [ scene_break ] curtis : nina , what are you doing ? nina : hey . i told you when i texted you , i 'm working on something for carly . curtis : is this still that , um , organ - transplant story you 've been working on ? nina : mm - hmm . yeah . carly told me not to pursue it , but i think she 's getting some pushback from family members . i 'm not related to any of those people , so i do n't have to consider their feelings . curtis : so you 're pursuing it . nina : yeah . curtis : okay . nina : carly needs my help , and i 'm gon na help her . curtis : by doing the very thing she clearly asked you not to do . nina : yeah . you want to help me ? [ scene_break ] sam : jason could be disoriented . he could be walking in the wrong direction . i have to find him . dante : sam , sam . you have to face the fact that jason might not have made it . sam : he got off of that plane before it exploded . dante : he stayed behind to shut the engines down to try and prevent an explosion . ava : and he failed . lulu : shut up , ava . laura : sam has every right to hold out hope , ava . ava : sam is delusional . and you 're not doing her any favors by enabling her . it 's sad . it is . we all owe jason our lives . he gave us time to get away , but there 's no way he -- he could have gotten away himself . i 'm sorry , sam . jason 's got to be dead . [ scene_break ] finn : you -- you two know each other ? jax : yeah , you could -- you could say that . carly : dr. finn -- dr. hamilton finn -- this is my ex - husband , jasper jacks . of course . josslyn 's father . finn : she talks about visiting you all the time , and she certainly shares your appreciation for bearded dragons . jax : i was just complimenting dr. finn on his companion . carly : josslyn was watching roxy for dr. finn . jax : of course . this is who she 's been telling me about during our phone conversations . carly : does josslyn know you 're here ? because she did n't mention it to me . jax : well , i texted her earlier tonight , but she 's probably too busy on the lacrosse field to notice . i just had some business in town , so i thought i 'd surprise her . finn : i do n't have to tell you , but you have a great daughter . jax : i 'd have to agree . carly : dr. finn is , the , uh , one who helped me uncover the name of the administrator who assisted in josslyn 's transplant . jax : well , thank you for your efforts , but we wo n't need you to look into that anymore . [ scene_break ] nina : so , these e - mails are just the tip of the iceberg . i know that if i pursue this , i can help carly find the organ donor . curtis : okay , so -- and you want me to look , too . what exactly do you want me to do ? nina : well , i mean , i do n't want you to do anything illegal . but , um , you 've been so great on all the other investigations i 've given you . what 's one more ? curtis : all right . as long as you 're paying . i suppose i could ride along and fact - check and find out what these fools have been telling you . what are you doing here , anyway ? you 're a beautiful woman . why are you at the bar alone ? [ pool balls clacking ] nina : it turns out that my life partner -- he was n't in it for life , which means he 's not much of a partner at all . curtis : mm . [ scene_break ] franco : so , i - i had brain surgery , right ? and i thought , when they removed the tumor , that they 'd removed my motivation and my ability to paint . but lately , i just -- i - i really feel the urge to paint again , and i have all these new feelings that i 'm trying to express . it must feel so good to just paint . franco : it might be terrible . i do n't know . i ca n't tell anymore . well , no , art is subjective . everybody might not like or appreciate your work , but you certainly have n't lost your talent . your confidence , on the other hand , is -- franco : really ? you think i lack confidence ? it sounds to me like you 're getting it back . art is how we see the world . franco : i really hope you 're right . there 's something i want to show you . okay . franco : it 's , uh ... [ sighs ] it 's something that i made , and it 's not motivated by anger . it 's motivated by a whole - new set of feelings , and i just hope that it is n't something that you find too disturbing . [ scene_break ] andre : so , the latest victim died after a visit from franco . jordan : and a vial that he was carrying tested positive for traces of derisifol . valerie : commish . elizabeth 's phone keeps going to voicemail . jordan : what ? damn it . andre : elizabeth webber ? jordan : yes . we think that she might be with franco , but , obviously , we need to talk to him , but we 're having a little difficulty tracking him down . so , in the interim , i 'm just trying to cover as much ground as possible here at the hospital . andre : well , i did do a psych eval on franco when he was first reinstated at the hospital . jordan : and ... i suppose those records are confidential ? andre : well , not necessarily . they 're a part of franco 's employee history , so it 's at the discretion of the hospital whether or not to release them . jordan : okay , well , we all know about franco 's violent past . is there anything that you found unusual about franco ? andre : [ sighs ] franco did seem to have an unnatural fixation with death . [ elevator dings , doors open ] amy : here are the keys to franco 's art - therapy room . jordan : thank you . uh , valerie , can you check all of the supply closets here with nurse driscoll ? see if franco left anything behind in one of them . i will check the art - therapy room . valerie : okay . andre : good luck . jordan : hey , uh [ clears throat ] would you join me ? i mean , i do n't -- i do n't know if we 'll find anything , but it sure would help to have a professional there to analyze it . andre : of course . jordan : i really do appreciate this . i do . uh , are you sure you do n't mind ? andre : why would i mind ? we 're just working together in a strictly professional sense . we 'll leave our personal lives out of it . [ clears throat ] [ elevator dings ] [ scene_break ] sam : i mean , i made the mistake of giving up on jason once before . i will never make that mistake again . he is alive , and i 'm gon na find him . ava : well , you -- you ca n't search in the dark . you should at least wait till morning . dante : look , if you go looking now , something could happen to you . then we have to come searching for you . you become a liability . sam : oh , gee , thanks . dante : look , look . just wait for the sun to come up . it wo n't be long . i 'll go with you . i 'll be right with you searching for him . sam : no , you can wait for the sun to come up . i 'm not . i 'm going now . [ breathing heavily ] dante : whoa , whoa , whoa , whoa . you all right ? [ scene_break ] valerie : commissioner . the closets appear to be undisturbed . nothing out of the ordinary . jordan : i wish i could say the same . we need to track down franco asap . valerie : what did you find ? amy : that 's mr. ellis . he was the first derisifol victim . wait , is he dead in that picture ? jordan : no , it -- it would appear that franco has drawn this portrait in the style of a death mask . valerie : what 's in the corner ? jordan : it 's a number 1 . and this is mrs. jenkins , number 2 . dr. mayes -- number 3 . amy : ohh . i ca n't believe it . franco 's drawing pictures of all his victims ? jordan : well [ sighs ] only the ones who have died . he did n't draw anything of bobbie spencer or lucas jones . andre : well , truth be told , this does n't mean franco had anything to do with the murders . valerie : well , you use inkblots to determine a patient 's mental health . an actual picture of victims is n't good enough for you ? andre : franco works in a place where people are dying in a frightening way . amy : so does the rest of the staff . i do n't draw any creepy photos . andre : franco is used to expressing himself through his art . this could be viewed as a coping mechanism . jordan : well , that does n't really explain the next page . `` 4 . `` valerie : and it 's blank . how would he know there 'd be another victim ? jordan : we need to question franco now and find out where exactly is he taking nurse webber ? [ scene_break ] you want to show me one of your new paintings ? franco : i did . yeah , i ... [ stammers ] i do . [ sighs ] i 'm a little nervous . [ chuckling ] why ? why are you nervous ? you 've shown your art all over the world . franco : yeah , but this is you . what ? franco : i painted you . i told you on the elevator , i think about you . [ sighs ] i just ... promise me you wo n't laugh . yeah , n - no , i 'm not gon na laugh . franco . it 's beautiful . [ scene_break ] curtis : you 're still hurting over franco ? [ slow - tempo music playing ] nina : [ chuckles ] yeah . franco is one of the few people in my life who really understood me , who really loved me for who i was . i just ... [ sighs ] i got to a point in my life -- i think i outgrew him , and i changed . and i just do n't think he could follow . i mean , do n't get me wrong . i 'm far from perfect . i have a lot of faults , but i 'm working on them . but i 'm proud of what i 've done . i 'm proud of what i 've accomplished as a woman . and i really like myself . i do n't think franco could deal with that . curtis : why do you think that is ? nina : i think there 's a part of franco that even he 's afraid of -- a part of him that he ca n't trust . curtis : so franco ca n't trust himself ? nina : um , i think there 's a part of franco that even he ca n't control . [ scene_break ] finn : um , sorry . carly was the one who asked for my help , not you . carly : i - i was gon na tell you when -- when you got back from your trip that i was dropping the search . finn : you were so insistent about finding josslyn 's donor . why the sudden change of mind ? jax : well ... because joss asked us to stop , and as her parents , we respect her wishes . finn : yes . that is one way of looking at it , but you 're making a mistake . [ scene_break ] laura : poor thing 's probably dehydrated . lulu : we should try to find some freshwater . laura : yeah . dante : hey . you okay ? sam : what happened ? lulu : you fainted . just stay still and rest , okay ? sam : no . no , i got to find jason . lulu : no . you are in no condition to go wandering off looking for him . laura : yeah , they 're right , honey . you should stay here . what if you were to faint again ? sam : i appreciate your concern . i was just a little bit dizzy . but i 'm fine now . [ rumbling ] ava : wait ! do you hear that ? i think there 's a boat out there . we 're saved . [ scene_break ] finn : i , uh , certainly understand that josslyn might be -- [ sighs ] what 's the word ? -- embarrassed about her transplant , and , certainly , the decision about finding the donor is ultimately up to you , but i - i just want to make sure it 's an informed decision . jax : well , thank you for everything you 've done for us , doctor . we do appreciate it , but we 'll take it from here . finn : of course . of course . well , i - i 'll be on my way . i 'll ... such a beautiful night . i think i 'll take roxy for a walk . carly : good night . jax : good night . carly : you did n't have to push so hard . i told you i was dropping the search . i was just about to tell finn . jax : you were ? carly : yes , of course . why would n't i ? jax : [ scoffs ] well , it depends . i mean , you 're not one to give in easily . have you really changed your mind ? are you backing off the search ? [ scene_break ] nina : hi , there . what 's up ? curtis : [ chuckles ] commissioner . i did n't think i 'd be seeing you again so soon . jordan : really ? you 're always one step ahead of me . curtis : you know me . jordan : nina , uh , i 'm actually really glad to see you . perhaps you could help . we 've been trying to track down franco . [ pool balls clacking ] jordan : we need to ask him some questions . there was a coworker who thought maybe he 's bringing elizabeth here . nina : uh , i ca n't help you with that . he 's not here . see ? they are n't here . curtis : we have n't , um , seen either one of them . why is this so urgent ? valerie : i know where franco is . jordan : you managed to reach elizabeth ? valerie : no , but i called her house . the babysitter said that elizabeth texted her that she and franco are at the art studio . jordan : okay , uh , thank you . sorry to interrupt . let 's go . nina : wow . wow . well , franco is not wasting any time moving on , is he ? curtis : screw franco , okay ? besides being a psychopath , the guy 's a damn idiot . [ chuckles ] nina : you think so ? curtis : yeah . well ... you are a beautiful , intelligent , vivacious woman . i ca n't believe you 're at the bar alone drowning out your sorrows . look , i 'm gon na find you a cab . come on . come on . nina : uh , no , no , no , no . i 'm -- i 'm okay . thank you . i 'm gon na finish my drink . i 'm just gon na cut my losses . i 'm good . [ chuckles ] curtis : that does n't sound smart , okay ? look , you 're not losing me . i will be around tomorrow . [ scene_break ] elizabeth : i always knew objectively you were talented , but i did n't know until this very moment -- you 're really gifted . franco : you 're not just saying that ? you really think that ? elizabeth : no . yes , i really , really think that . what made you paint me like this ? franco : you 're beautiful . this is how i see you . you 're a vision of beauty in a world of chaos . elizabeth : i never expected to see myself like this . it kind of reminds me of a renoir . [ both laugh ] franco : that 's funny . [ chuckles ] all my old - school , back - in - the - day , new york , snobby art friends -- they 'd scoff at the impressionists . they said they were prosaic , that their eyes were gauzed with romanticism . i 've always secretly admired their work , as like an escape to another world . as a kid , i spent hours just wishing i were part of `` the boating party . `` elizabeth : is there a reason you wanted to escape ? franco : i think the impressionists -- you know , they had -- they had the right idea . art should be about finding beauty in an imperfect world . or -- or , if the world fails you , you know , just creating an entirely improved reality . elizabeth : well , i think the impressionists were masters of light and that they did n't try to improve reality . i think they painted it accurately for the first time . franco : really ? elizabeth : mm - hmm . franco : wow . you 're completely wrong . elizabeth : [ chuckles ] franco : but i had no idea you knew so much about art . elizabeth : i used to dream about being an artist . franco : really ? elizabeth : mm - hmm . franco : you should do that . why did n't you tell me that ? elizabeth : [ scoffs ] i do n't know . i ... [ sighs ] i became a nurse and then i had three kids , and it 's just not who i see myself as anymore . and i kind of like to think that i have n't completely lost my talent . [ chuckles ] franco : i 'm sure someone as beautiful as you would have no problem creating beautiful things . elizabeth : why would you think that would be disturbing ? franco : because i painted you without you knowing that i was painting you . i do n't know , i can see why someone would that that was a little stalker - y . elizabeth : i do n't think so . franco : that 's great . elizabeth : [ chuckles ] franco : 'cause i 'd really like to paint you again . elizabeth : on one condition . franco : okay . what ? elizabeth : i get to paint you . [ scene_break ] [ indistinct conversations ] amy : hi , dr. finn . finn : oh , hi . amy : oh , you 've got your lizard again . i do . she , uh -- she has a name . she prefers `` roxy , `` and the kids down on the fourth floor , they love her . amy : what if she runs away and jumps on somebody ? finn : you have nothing to worry about . or does she ? amy : [ chuckles nervously ] well , you look a lot better than the last time i saw you . finn : well , thank you . thank you for noticing . and i was wondering if maybe you could help me . amy : with what ? finn : re - establishing my lab . amy : [ scoffs ] [ scene_break ] ava : there goes our one chance at rescue . lulu : okay , first of all , that is not our only chance . second of all , for all we know , those could have been valentin 's men out searching for us . dante : well , unfortunately , we 're not gon na be able to tell if a boat is hostile or not . laura : i 'm gon na go check on kevin . dante : hey , are you okay ? lulu : yeah , i 'm fine . do n't worry about me . dante : all right , well , that 's not possible . what happened ? did you get hurt or something and you did n't tell me ? lulu : no , no , no . i , um ... i found something back on cassadine island that upset me . dante : are those luke 's ? lulu : i sure hope not . i found it in one of the access tunnels . it was on a skeleton .

[ scoffs ] i knew that guy was bad news . jordan : okay , well , we ca n't jump to any conclusions . amy : i think we can . i read some of the report on my way up to you . i saw the results of the fingerprint testing . jordan : nurse driscoll , you are not a police officer , okay ? you were told to deliver these files , not read them . valerie : what 's it say , boss ? jordan : uh , that the only fingerprints on the vial ... ... were franco 's . [ scene_break ] franco : [ blows ] elizabeth : so , where exactly are we ? franco : this is my studio . and , uh , i brought you here because this is a place where i feel very alive -- truly alive . i 've been here a lot lately . i ca n't eat . i ca n't sleep . i 've just been making art . and , uh , in those moments , nothing else matters . all the rules and judgments of the world just fall away . elizabeth : franco , what do you want with me ? [ scene_break ] [ slow - tempo music playing ] nina : [ sniffles ] bartender : i 've heard of crying in your beer , but this is your first drink . you okay ? nina : thank you . yeah , i 'm fine . i just , um -- i 'm reading all of these responses that i got to the organ - donor story that i wrote for crimson , and , um ... it just spurred all these people to tell me their stories . i mean , they 're ... [ voice breaking ] these are incredible , incredible parents who , um , were willing to do anything for their children . i 'm just inspired by them . while other parents -- they 'll do anything to exploit their children .

[ scene_break ] valerie : franco had a plausible explanation for why he was in the patient 's room . he said he was bringing her a small statue that she made in art therapy . and amy checked and confirmed that the statue was in her room . curtis : you know , um , ms . prescott could have taken the statue into the room herself . did , um , she confirm franco 's story ? valerie : no , she was sleeping . amy : i checked . ms. prescott was fine . all of her vitals were stable , and her monitors were functioning normally . curtis : what made you suspicious in the first place ? amy : franco , obviously . i saw him go into the patient 's room , and he was acting all ... shifty . curtis : shifty . would you say he was acting suspicious , maybe , or on edge ? amy : no . he was just ... ominous . and he was holding a flower , like one you 'd put on someone 's grave . valerie : a flower ? or like you 'd give to someone who 's in the hospital . amy : i guess . but i was right , was n't i ? he killed her . jordan : okay , we do n't know that for sure . curtis : where exactly did you find that vial ? jordan : curtis . it 's fine . i 'll take it from here . curtis : right . uh ...

[ chuckles ] franco : yeah ? okay . i mean , i wanted to create a space that was separate from the world , that was separate from reality , and , yeah , it 's a little weird , because i 'm a little weird . and i brought you here because i was hoping you 'd get to know me a little better 'cause i really want to get to know you a little better . and the floating rib -- i 'm just not comfortable there , where half the hospital staff goes after work for a drink . a drink . elizabeth : [ chuckles ] franco : a drink . i did promise you champagne , right ? [ clatter ] franco : all right . so , uh , be prepared to be impressed by how well i can pop a cork . unless -- i 'll tell you what , why do n't -- why do n't you do this , and , uh , i 'll let you pour it in the glasses , too , if you want . elizabeth : okay , that -- that sounds good . [ chuckles ] franco : except that ... elizabeth : okay . franco : ... i do n't have the glasses . so , i 'll go get them . that 'll give you a chance to call the cops . elizabeth : oh , i 'm sure that 's not gon na be necessary . franco : yeah , you wo n't get through to anybody , anyway . the reception 's lousy in here .

[ smooches ] jax : from the way that lizard 's looking at you , i 'd say it 's true love . finn : this is roxy , my service animal . jax : and a lovely one at that . may i ? finn : s - sure . jax : ohh . finn : you seem to have an affinity for bearded dragons . jax : well , how could you not ? i mean , they 're very intelligent , and they scare away anyone not worth having a conversation with . finn : huh . that 's a very interesting viewpoint . jax : i grew up in australia . i saw these lizards all the time . you know , sometimes i thought about keeping one as a pet , but they seemed so content roaming wild that i just -- i never wanted to . i mean , not that i blame you . if i needed a service animal , i 'm sure that , uh -- roxy , was it ? finn : mm - hmm . jax : roxy would be my choice . finn : i must say , you have fantastic taste . carly : jax ? what are you doing here ? [ scene_break ] jordan : we need to find franco now . valerie : okay . willis and i will go to his place and pick him up . jordan : okay . amy : you could do that , but you wo n't find him there . jordan : and why is that , nurse driscoll ? amy : he 's on a date with elizabeth webber . jordan : mm . amy : i have a feeling that she would only agree to go on a date with him if it was in a very public place . i may have heard something in passing . jordan : right . call elizabeth webber , please . do you have her contact number ? we need to find out where franco could have gone . does he have an office ? amy : not really . he mostly keeps to the art - therapy room . jordan : i mean , what about -- what about coworkers ? i mean , there must be someone that we can talk to who he shared his information with , his plans . amy : franco usually works alone . besides elizabeth and dr. obrecht , everyone who works here pretty much wants nothing to do with him . jordan : okay , well , there must be someone -- someone who can give us a little insight into franco 's plans . valerie : do you think he 'd hurt elizabeth ? jordan : well , i mean , who can really say , right ? franco -- he has a well- documented history of violence . he got off on a technicality . i mean , people believe that getting rid of the tumor did not get rid of the threat . [ elevator dings ] amy : dr. maddox does the psych evaluations on everyone on staff , which i think is pretty smart [ chuckles ] 'cause some of the people here are real doozies . [ chuckles ] not that i 've ever peeked at any of their files . jordan : elizabeth 's phone number . amy : right . jordan : dr. maddox . andré : commissioner ashford . were you looking for me ? jordan : uh , not exactly . okay . but i - i could use your help . [ scene_break ] franco : sorry about that . i thought i had the glasses ready , but they were still packed up . here you go . elizabeth : mm . franco : how 'd that phone call to the cops go ? elizabeth : i 'm texting my babysitter . franco : mm - hmm . with your exact location ? i get it . elizabeth : well , i do like her to know where i am . it 's just not going through right now . franco : i told you . reception 's crappy down here . elizabeth : oh , there it goes . it went through . [ chuckles ] franco : great . you feel better ? come on . [ glasses clatter ] pour us these glasses of champagne . elizabeth : oh , right . of course . it 's kind of dark in here . do you want to turn the lights on so i can see what i 'm doing ? franco : yeah , sure . no problem . elizabeth : what is all this stuff ? franco : just stuff . stuff i found inspiring , stuff i found along the way and just held onto . [ champagne fizzes ] elizabeth : is this all new ? franco : mm , i do n't know . i mean , kind of . i have n't been here that long . i only got the space after nina broke up with me . been painting like a madman . i mean -- okay , i 've been very productive . that 's what i mean . it 's just that , to date , my work has always been very dark , very angry . that seems to bother a lot of people . [ scene_break ] curtis : nina , what are you doing ? nina : hey . i told you when i texted you , i 'm working on something for carly . curtis : is this still that , um , organ - transplant story you 've been working on ? nina : mm - hmm . yeah . carly told me not to pursue it , but i think she 's getting some pushback from family members . i 'm not related to any of those people , so i do n't have to consider their feelings . curtis : so you 're pursuing it . nina : yeah . curtis : okay . nina : carly needs my help , and i 'm gon na help her . curtis : by doing the very thing she clearly asked you not to do . nina : yeah . you want to help me ? [ scene_break ] sam : jason could be disoriented . he could be walking in the wrong direction . i have to find him . dante : sam , sam . you have to face the fact that jason might not have made it . sam : he got off of that plane before it exploded . dante : he stayed behind to shut the engines down to try and prevent an explosion . ava : and he failed . lulu : shut up , ava . laura : sam has every right to hold out hope , ava . ava : sam is delusional . and you 're not doing her any favors by enabling her . it 's sad . it is . we all owe jason our lives . he gave us time to get away , but there 's no way he -- he could have gotten away himself . i 'm sorry , sam . jason 's got to be dead . [ scene_break ] finn : you -- you two know each other ? jax : yeah , you could -- you could say that . carly : dr. finn -- dr. hamilton finn -- this is my ex - husband , jasper jacks . of course . josslyn 's father . finn : she talks about visiting you all the time , and she certainly shares your appreciation for bearded dragons . jax : i was just complimenting dr. finn on his companion . carly : josslyn was watching roxy for dr. finn . jax : of course . this is who she 's been telling me about during our phone conversations . carly : does josslyn know you 're here ? because she did n't mention it to me . jax : well , i texted her earlier tonight , but she 's probably too busy on the lacrosse field to notice . i just had some business in town , so i thought i 'd surprise her . finn : i do n't have to tell you , but you have a great daughter . jax : i 'd have to agree . carly : dr. finn is , the , uh , one who helped me uncover the name of the administrator who assisted in josslyn 's transplant . jax : well , thank you for your efforts , but we wo n't need you to look into that anymore . [ scene_break ] nina : so , these e - mails are just the tip of the iceberg . i know that if i pursue this , i can help carly find the organ donor . curtis : okay , so -- and you want me to look , too . what exactly do you want me to do ? nina : well , i mean , i do n't want you to do anything illegal . but , um , you 've been so great on all the other investigations i 've given you . what 's one more ? curtis : all right . as long as you 're paying . i suppose i could ride along and fact - check and find out what these fools have been telling you . what are you doing here , anyway ? you 're a beautiful woman . why are you at the bar alone ? [ pool balls clacking ] nina : it turns out that my life partner -- he was n't in it for life , which means he 's not much of a partner at all . curtis : mm . [ scene_break ] franco : so , i - i had brain surgery , right ? and i thought , when they removed the tumor , that they 'd removed my motivation and my ability to paint . but lately , i just -- i - i really feel the urge to paint again , and i have all these new feelings that i 'm trying to express . it must feel so good to just paint . franco : it might be terrible . i do n't know . i ca n't tell anymore . well , no , art is subjective . everybody might not like or appreciate your work , but you certainly have n't lost your talent . your confidence , on the other hand , is -- franco : really ? you think i lack confidence ? it sounds to me like you 're getting it back . art is how we see the world . franco : i really hope you 're right . there 's something i want to show you . okay . franco : it 's , uh ... [ sighs ] it 's something that i made , and it 's not motivated by anger . it 's motivated by a whole - new set of feelings , and i just hope that it is n't something that you find too disturbing . [ scene_break ] andre : so , the latest victim died after a visit from franco . jordan : and a vial that he was carrying tested positive for traces of derisifol . valerie : commish . elizabeth 's phone keeps going to voicemail . jordan : what ? damn it . andre : elizabeth webber ? jordan : yes . we think that she might be with franco , but , obviously , we need to talk to him , but we 're having a little difficulty tracking him down . so , in the interim , i 'm just trying to cover as much ground as possible here at the hospital . andre : well , i did do a psych eval on franco when he was first reinstated at the hospital . jordan : and ... i suppose those records are confidential ? andre : well , not necessarily . they 're a part of franco 's employee history , so it 's at the discretion of the hospital whether or not to release them . jordan : okay , well , we all know about franco 's violent past . is there anything that you found unusual about franco ? andre : [ sighs ] franco did seem to have an unnatural fixation with death . [ elevator dings , doors open ] amy : here are the keys to franco 's art - therapy room . jordan : thank you . uh , valerie , can you check all of the supply closets here with nurse driscoll ? see if franco left anything behind in one of them . i will check the art - therapy room . valerie : okay . andre : good luck . jordan : hey , uh [ clears throat ] would you join me ? i mean , i do n't -- i do n't know if we 'll find anything , but it sure would help to have a professional there to analyze it . andre : of course . jordan : i really do appreciate this . i do . uh , are you sure you do n't mind ? andre : why would i mind ? we 're just working together in a strictly professional sense . we 'll leave our personal lives out of it . [ clears throat ] [ elevator dings ] [ scene_break ] sam : i mean , i made the mistake of giving up on jason once before . i will never make that mistake again . he is alive , and i 'm gon na find him . ava : well , you -- you ca n't search in the dark . you should at least wait till morning . dante : look , if you go looking now , something could happen to you . then we have to come searching for you . you become a liability . sam : oh , gee , thanks . dante : look , look . just wait for the sun to come up . it wo n't be long . i 'll go with you . i 'll be right with you searching for him . sam : no , you can wait for the sun to come up . i 'm not . i 'm going now . [ breathing heavily ] dante : whoa , whoa , whoa , whoa . you all right ? [ scene_break ] valerie : commissioner . the closets appear to be undisturbed . nothing out of the ordinary . jordan : i wish i could say the same . we need to track down franco asap . valerie : what did you find ? amy : that 's mr. ellis . he was the first derisifol victim . wait , is he dead in that picture ? jordan : no , it -- it would appear that franco has drawn this portrait in the style of a death mask . valerie : what 's in the corner ? jordan : it 's a number 1 . and this is mrs. jenkins , number 2 . dr. mayes -- number 3 . amy : ohh . i ca n't believe it . franco 's drawing pictures of all his victims ? jordan : well [ sighs ] only the ones who have died . he did n't draw anything of bobbie spencer or lucas jones . andre : well , truth be told , this does n't mean franco had anything to do with the murders . valerie : well , you use inkblots to determine a patient 's mental health . an actual picture of victims is n't good enough for you ? andre : franco works in a place where people are dying in a frightening way . amy : so does the rest of the staff . i do n't draw any creepy photos . andre : franco is used to expressing himself through his art . this could be viewed as a coping mechanism . jordan : well , that does n't really explain the next page . `` 4 . `` valerie : and it 's blank . how would he know there 'd be another victim ? jordan : we need to question franco now and find out where exactly is he taking nurse webber ? [ scene_break ] you want to show me one of your new paintings ? franco : i did . yeah , i ... [ stammers ] i do . [ sighs ] i 'm a little nervous . [ chuckling ] why ? why are you nervous ? you 've shown your art all over the world . franco : yeah , but this is you . what ? franco : i painted you . i told you on the elevator , i think about you . [ sighs ] i just ... promise me you wo n't laugh . yeah , n - no , i 'm not gon na laugh . franco . it 's beautiful . [ scene_break ] curtis : you 're still hurting over franco ? [ slow - tempo music playing ] nina : [ chuckles ] yeah . franco is one of the few people in my life who really understood me , who really loved me for who i was . i just ... [ sighs ] i got to a point in my life -- i think i outgrew him , and i changed . and i just do n't think he could follow . i mean , do n't get me wrong . i 'm far from perfect . i have a lot of faults , but i 'm working on them . but i 'm proud of what i 've done . i 'm proud of what i 've accomplished as a woman . and i really like myself . i do n't think franco could deal with that . curtis : why do you think that is ? nina : i think there 's a part of franco that even he 's afraid of -- a part of him that he ca n't trust . curtis : so franco ca n't trust himself ? nina : um , i think there 's a part of franco that even he ca n't control . [ scene_break ] finn : um , sorry . carly was the one who asked for my help , not you . carly : i - i was gon na tell you when -- when you got back from your trip that i was dropping the search . finn : you were so insistent about finding josslyn 's donor . why the sudden change of mind ? jax : well ... because joss asked us to stop , and as her parents , we respect her wishes . finn : yes . that is one way of looking at it , but you 're making a mistake . [ scene_break ] laura : poor thing 's probably dehydrated . lulu : we should try to find some freshwater . laura : yeah . dante : hey . you okay ? sam : what happened ? lulu : you fainted . just stay still and rest , okay ? sam : no . no , i got to find jason . lulu : no . you are in no condition to go wandering off looking for him . laura : yeah , they 're right , honey . you should stay here . what if you were to faint again ? sam : i appreciate your concern . i was just a little bit dizzy . but i 'm fine now . [ rumbling ] ava : wait ! do you hear that ? i think there 's a boat out there . we 're saved . [ scene_break ] finn : i , uh , certainly understand that josslyn might be -- [ sighs ] what 's the word ? -- embarrassed about her transplant , and , certainly , the decision about finding the donor is ultimately up to you , but i - i just want to make sure it 's an informed decision . jax : well , thank you for everything you 've done for us , doctor . we do appreciate it , but we 'll take it from here . finn : of course . of course . well , i - i 'll be on my way . i 'll ... such a beautiful night . i think i 'll take roxy for a walk . carly : good night . jax : good night . carly : you did n't have to push so hard . i told you i was dropping the search . i was just about to tell finn . jax : you were ? carly : yes , of course . why would n't i ? jax : [ scoffs ] well , it depends . i mean , you 're not one to give in easily . have you really changed your mind ? are you backing off the search ? [ scene_break ] nina : hi , there . what 's up ? curtis : [ chuckles ] commissioner . i did n't think i 'd be seeing you again so soon . jordan : really ? you 're always one step ahead of me . curtis : you know me . jordan : nina , uh , i 'm actually really glad to see you . perhaps you could help . we 've been trying to track down franco . [ pool balls clacking ] jordan : we need to ask him some questions . there was a coworker who thought maybe he 's bringing elizabeth here . nina : uh , i ca n't help you with that . he 's not here . see ? they are n't here . curtis : we have n't , um , seen either one of them . why is this so urgent ? valerie : i know where franco is . jordan : you managed to reach elizabeth ? valerie : no , but i called her house . the babysitter said that elizabeth texted her that she and franco are at the art studio . jordan : okay , uh , thank you . sorry to interrupt . let 's go . nina : wow . wow . well , franco is not wasting any time moving on , is he ? curtis : screw franco , okay ? besides being a psychopath , the guy 's a damn idiot . [ chuckles ] nina : you think so ? curtis : yeah . well ... you are a beautiful , intelligent , vivacious woman . i ca n't believe you 're at the bar alone drowning out your sorrows . look , i 'm gon na find you a cab . come on . come on . nina : uh , no , no , no , no . i 'm -- i 'm okay . thank you . i 'm gon na finish my drink . i 'm just gon na cut my losses . i 'm good . [ chuckles ] curtis : that does n't sound smart , okay ? look , you 're not losing me . i will be around tomorrow .

[ scene_break ] nikolas : you should n't be here . hayden : if i followed the list of things i should n't do , you would n't be nearly as happy a camper as you have been since you met me . i would n't be , either . nikolas : i still have n't heard an explanation for your presence in my bed . hayden : you were there at the nurses ' ball tonight . you saw everything go down . ca n't you figure it out ? i 'm homeless . carly told the world i 'm not jake 's wife , and then she evicted me for good measure . would n't even let me go to my room and pack my bags . nikolas : yes , carly takes offense when someone tries to deceive a friend of hers . hayden : i need a bed . i figured yours must be extra - comfy ... what with you being a prince and all . so , come on . do n't be stingy . give it up . come share what the good lord gave you . [ scene_break ] spinelli : are you all right ? maxie : yeah . i 'm fine .

[ scene_break ] nathan : we got to rethink our strategy . ellie : clearly . i mean ... damian and maxie remain united despite our many displays of affection . you nuzzled me all night , and it did n't garner so much as a peep of protest . nathan : maxie hates to admit when she 's wrong . ellie : [ sighs ] so does damian . nathan : well , we need to up our game . i thought for sure that the whole magic milo thing was gon na make him jealous . ellie : [ scoffs ] as did i when i brazenly copped a feel of your marble - hard rear . nathan : well , it 's gon na take more than that to get through their stubborn shells . ellie : okay . but what ?

[ as spinelli & maxie walk past , nathan grabs ellie and plants a big kiss on her ] ellie : ooh ! spinelli : unhand her , you foul miscreant ! [ scene_break ] jake : carly was onto hayden from day one . you remember that scene when she barged into hayden 's hotel room . elizabeth : it 's hard to forget . jake : yeah . well , carly knew that hayden was n't my wife , and she would n't back down . not even when presented with medical records which , somehow , ric must have gotten from a hospital . elizabeth : carly would never be swayed by a little thing like medical evidence . jake : no , i guess not . she 's got good instincts . she always seems to give me the exact right advice . you know , if i 'd have just listened to her , this whole mess would have been avoided . elizabeth : no . no , do n't -- do n't blame yourself . hayden offered you something that you 've been looking for ... something that no one else can provide -- a past . jake : [ clears throat ] you know ... you also knew that hayden was n't my wife . i mean , maybe you did n't tell me that , not in so many words , but deep down , you knew she was hustling me . elizabeth : too deep for it to do any good . think it was just wishful thinking . [ sighs ] maybe this is all on me . maybe -- maybe if i just listened to my intuition , i could have save you the heartache . but instead i listened to ric , and i should have -- i should have known not to trust him . this was all about him wanting to -- to get me at any cost . and i did n't help by wavering , and i gave him a - a -- i made him think that he had a chance . god , everything he did to you is my fault . jake : okay . th - that 's where you need to stop . you need to stop right there . elizabeth : he -- he wanted you to believe a pack of lies . jake : okay . well , now those lies are out in the open . they no longer exist . okay ? look , it 's not your fault that i 'm still in the dark about who i am . [ scene_break ] nikolas : get dressed , hayden . hayden : so tense . i can see your knots from here . let me untie them . then you can tie me . nikolas : i 'm not in the mood . hayden : want to run that by me again ?

[ scene_break ] olivia : you want to talk to me about julian ? sam : to you and -- and to ned , actually . ned : what about me ? sam : uh ... [ sighs ] it 's about the secret you 're keeping from my father . olivia : what secret ? sam : that ned is n't the father of your baby . julian is . i overheard your conversation at general hospital . olivia : well , you obviously misunderstood something i was saying . sam : no , i heard it loud and clear . you were telling ned that dante does n't suspect that julian is the father of your baby . let 's just accept that i know the truth now . so , do n't you think it 's time my father knows , too ? [ scene_break ] julian : i did n't go after you , jordan . i have no reason to . jordan : you really expect me to believe that ? shawn : you tried to kill her before . julian : she betrayed luke . he demanded that her treachery be punished . i was forced -- the man was threatening my family , all right ? shawn : who 's pulling your strings now ? julian : i 'm my own man . and if i wanted a cipher like jordan dead , she would be dead . alexis : you know what ? this is n't helping . julian : [ sighs ] if i were to target anybody in sonny 's crew , it certainly would n't be jordan . jordan : and what the hell does that mean ? julian : you 're not worth my bullet . that 's what it means . so you do n't have to worry about your piece of ass , shawn -- [ shawn decks julian ] alexis : what -- [ scene_break ] anna : regardless of how we feel , we ca n't be together if you 're gon na continue along this path with sonny corinthos . duke : oh , but , anna , sonny and i -- anna : no , you are running a criminal empire that i have been charged to bring to justice . god . all those years we spent trying to extract you from the mob , and here we are right back where we started -- on opposite sides ... like when we first met . duke : anna ... what if i 've come up with a way to -- to -- to fix that ? what if i 've come up with a way to remove the obstacle that stops us from being together ? anna : what are you saying ? duke : i 'll leave the mob . [ scene_break ] jake : hey . hey . [ clears throat ] you realize my troubles are not your problem , right ? they 're not your fault . nikolas : i do n't know if i can watch you do this . elizabeth : it 's not your choice to make anymore . it 's mine . finally , after all these years , i get a chance to be with jason . i 'm -- i get a chance to be happy . please , nikolas ... if you ever loved me ... tell me you 'll keep our secret . [ sighs ] i would n't go that far . jake : okay , tell you what . would it help if i went out and found ric , beat the hell out of him -- i mean beat the hell out of him ? elizabeth : what ? no . no . jake : i could do that . now , before , i did n't really see the point because , well , he lost you . and there 's not really much more i could do to him that 's worse than that . but now that i see you standing here blaming yourself for what he did , i got to tell you , it 's starting to really piss me off . elizabeth : no , i do n't want you to go beat ric up . please . jake : okay . elizabeth : he had to be desperate to do what he did . not that it 's an excuse , but ... you 're right . he 's already lost . jake : [ sighs ] okay . i 'll back off . but you have to agree that this is on ric and not you . elizabeth : [ chuckles ] agreed . jake : and you have to agree that this is over . elizabeth : over ? wh -- jake : it 's over . ric , hayden -- they are gone . they 're out of our lives . so that leaves us to -- i do n't know ... start fresh . or better yet , pick up where we left off . i mean , i really do n't see a reason why we should n't . do you ? [ scene_break ] hayden : you 've had a rough night . mine has n't been a picnic , either . but we both know a way to salvage it . a lot of ways , actually . come on , do n't worry so much . we 'll keep the noise down . nikolas : [ chuckles ] hayden : unless you do that thing with your tongue ... in which case all bets are off . nikolas : hayden ... hayden : come on . you want me . stop fighting it . stop fighting me . just take me .

[ sighs ] this whole thing could have been avoided if you had n't agreed to that ridiculous boxing match . nathan , i was on my way to tell you that you are the one for me . and then i walked in on you and spinelli fighting like neanderthals , and this whole thing got out of whack . spinelli : maxie ... is this truly how you feel ? maxie : spinelli ... i 'm sorry to do this to you yet again . i thought i was over you . i thought i had let you go , and ... and i should have . i really want us to be friends and appreciate each other and be the best co - parents to georgie that we could possibly be . but you -- you deserve so much better than me . so much more . you deserve someone like ellie . and i 'm really sorry that i hurt your feelings again . i - i will always feel love for you . but my heart belongs with nathan . spinelli : maxie ... you do n't have to be sorry ... because the truth is ... ... my heart lies with ellie .

[ scene_break ] jake : you 're a good sandwich maker . this sandwich is better than the sandwich we had on our first date . elizabeth : well , it 's a new kind . maybe it 's the maple . jake : maybe . or maybe it 's the fact that the odds are against anybody ringing your doorbell and coming in and claiming that they 're my wife . or your dead husband . or -- i do n't know -- a kid , a missing pet , an accountant . elizabeth : are you saying you do n't care about your past anymore ? jake : i 'm saying that i 'm interested in living my life in the present . do you remember when we were doing this before hayden came in and dropped her bomb ? elizabeth : yeah . you -- you were talking about leaving your past behind . jake : and then i thought my past came to find me . and i was horrified because i was staring at my wife and i had no feeling for her . actually , sometimes i just plain did n't like her . elizabeth : [ chuckles ] jake : and now i know there was nothing to remember . now that hayden 's out of my life , her lies are gone [ clears throat ] i 'm free to live my life . elizabeth : and now that i permanently kicked ric out of my life , i can do the same . jake : mm , well , almost . but not exactly . elizabeth : what do you mean ? jake : there will always be jason . [ scene_break ] olivia : please , i ca n't let julian find out that i 'm carrying his baby . patrick : you do n't think the father has a right to know , olivia ? olivia : not every father . patrick ... no . ... ned : this is n't your business . sam : this is n't any of your business , either . this has to do with olivia and julian and the baby that he does n't know about . olivia : but please , please , just for a minute -- just for a minute , sam , please consider my reasons . okay ? julian is a mob boss . people get hurt and killed because of him . his -- his loved ones are targets . you were there , sam , when his enemies shot up your family dinner . lucas almost died . when i was a teenager , i came up pregnant with dante . [ sighs ] i could see the road that sonny was on . he was in the mob . he was getting worse every single day , and i did n't want that for myself . i did n't want that for my baby . of course , i felt terrible that sonny did n't get to -- to know dante growing up , but , sam , i never regretted that decision . not for one single second . because dante grew up safe and he grew up happy . and you ca n't say that for a single one of sonny 's other kids , especially michael . ned : yes . olivia : [ crying ] this baby deserves the chance to have that kind of life like dante had -- safe and happy and away from bullets and car bombs and kidnapping threats . it 's not gon na get that with julian .

[ scene_break ] duke : i 'll leave sonny and the organization . i 'll throw them away for you -- tonight . anna : you 've been hell - bent on taking julian down . what 's to stop you now ? why ? duke : this vendetta with julian has cost me so much . it 's cost me my relationship with you . julian jerome is not worth another moment without you in my life . anna : you have a real enemy in julian . how are you gon na walk away from that ? and cut ties with sonny ? that 's almost impossible . i - i mean , i 'm not saying that my situation is any easier . i 'm not the commissioner , but i 'm a federal agent now . i 'm spearheading this case against you . we ca n't wish all that away . duke : they ca n't follow through with a case against me if i 'm not around . leave here with me . let 's leave here . anna : what ? duke : come away with me tonight . [ scene_break ] olivia : i 'm begging you , sam , mother to mother , forget what you heard . let me do right by my kid . sam : but you doing right by your baby means doing wrong by my father . and i - i have a responsibility to him ... to my family . what , am i supposed to lie to them for the rest of our lives ? how can i keep a child from him ? it 's been done to him twice already . olivia : your conscience can be clear because you 're gon na see this kid grow up safe and happy .

[ scene_break ] nikolas : you should n't be here . hayden : if i followed the list of things i should n't do , you would n't be nearly as happy a camper as you have been since you met me . i would n't be , either . nikolas : i still have n't heard an explanation for your presence in my bed . hayden : you were there at the nurses ' ball tonight . you saw everything go down . ca n't you figure it out ? i 'm homeless . carly told the world i 'm not jake 's wife , and then she evicted me for good measure . would n't even let me go to my room and pack my bags . nikolas : yes , carly takes offense when someone tries to deceive a friend of hers . hayden : i need a bed . i figured yours must be extra - comfy ... what with you being a prince and all . so , come on . do n't be stingy . give it up . come share what the good lord gave you .

[ scene_break ] nathan : we got to rethink our strategy . ellie : clearly . i mean ... damian and maxie remain united despite our many displays of affection . you nuzzled me all night , and it did n't garner so much as a peep of protest . nathan : maxie hates to admit when she 's wrong . ellie : [ sighs ] so does damian . nathan : well , we need to up our game . i thought for sure that the whole magic milo thing was gon na make him jealous . ellie : [ scoffs ] as did i when i brazenly copped a feel of your marble - hard rear . nathan : well , it 's gon na take more than that to get through their stubborn shells . ellie : okay . but what ?

[ scene_break ] jake : carly was onto hayden from day one . you remember that scene when she barged into hayden 's hotel room . elizabeth : it 's hard to forget . jake : yeah . well , carly knew that hayden was n't my wife , and she would n't back down . not even when presented with medical records which , somehow , ric must have gotten from a hospital . elizabeth : carly would never be swayed by a little thing like medical evidence . jake : no , i guess not . she 's got good instincts . she always seems to give me the exact right advice . you know , if i 'd have just listened to her , this whole mess would have been avoided . elizabeth : no . no , do n't -- do n't blame yourself . hayden offered you something that you 've been looking for ... something that no one else can provide -- a past . jake : [ clears throat ] you know ... you also knew that hayden was n't my wife . i mean , maybe you did n't tell me that , not in so many words , but deep down , you knew she was hustling me . elizabeth : too deep for it to do any good . think it was just wishful thinking . [ sighs ] maybe this is all on me . maybe -- maybe if i just listened to my intuition , i could have save you the heartache . but instead i listened to ric , and i should have -- i should have known not to trust him . this was all about him wanting to -- to get me at any cost . and i did n't help by wavering , and i gave him a - a -- i made him think that he had a chance . god , everything he did to you is my fault . jake : okay . th - that 's where you need to stop . you need to stop right there . elizabeth : he -- he wanted you to believe a pack of lies . jake : okay . well , now those lies are out in the open . they no longer exist . okay ? look , it 's not your fault that i 'm still in the dark about who i am . [ scene_break ] nikolas : get dressed , hayden . hayden : so tense . i can see your knots from here . let me untie them . then you can tie me . nikolas : i 'm not in the mood . hayden : want to run that by me again ? [ scene_break ] duke : so , there 's nothing between you and kyle ? anna : oh , no . less than nothing . it 's -- it 's -- but what does it matter ? because you have an actual relationship , do n't you ? with lucy . duke : no . no . we just brought a gentle end to our blossoming romance . uh ... it was n't right . we were treading water . i came to your room to tell you that lucy and i were no longer together . anna : was there anything else you were intending to tell me ? duke : one more thing . my life 's been empty without you . i 've been completely lost . i should have tried much harder to hold onto you . if i had a chance again , i would n't make the same mistakes . i ... i would n't let us down this time , anna . anna : so ... there 's no lucy ? duke : there 's no lucy . there 's no kyle . so there 's nothing to stop us from coming back together . anna : well , there is . [ sniffles ] there is one thing in our way . stop . [ scene_break ] alexis : stop it right now . jordan : come on . alexis : or i 'm gon na have you arrested . shawn : do it . [ clears throat ] but your boyfriend 's gon na have a lot of explaining to do . jordan : shawn , enough . julian : [ coughing ] alexis : what is he talking about ? shawn : oh , julian does n't discuss his business with you ? alexis : would you like to chime in ? julian : i have no idea what he 's talking about . shawn : his people took a shot at jordan yesterday at the docks . tried to take her out . julian : [ scoffs ] whoa . that is the first time hearing about that . shawn : oh , you want us to believe you had no knowledge about this ? huh ? that any of your people can keep a secret from you ? [ scene_break ] olivia : you want to talk to me about julian ? sam : to you and -- and to ned , actually . ned : what about me ? sam : uh ... [ sighs ] it 's about the secret you 're keeping from my father . olivia : what secret ? sam : that ned is n't the father of your baby . julian is . i overheard your conversation at general hospital . olivia : well , you obviously misunderstood something i was saying . sam : no , i heard it loud and clear . you were telling ned that dante does n't suspect that julian is the father of your baby . let 's just accept that i know the truth now . so , do n't you think it 's time my father knows , too ? [ scene_break ] julian : i did n't go after you , jordan . i have no reason to . jordan : you really expect me to believe that ? shawn : you tried to kill her before . julian : she betrayed luke . he demanded that her treachery be punished . i was forced -- the man was threatening my family , all right ? shawn : who 's pulling your strings now ? julian : i 'm my own man . and if i wanted a cipher like jordan dead , she would be dead . alexis : you know what ? this is n't helping . julian : [ sighs ] if i were to target anybody in sonny 's crew , it certainly would n't be jordan . jordan : and what the hell does that mean ? julian : you 're not worth my bullet . that 's what it means . so you do n't have to worry about your piece of ass , shawn -- [ shawn decks julian ] alexis : what -- [ scene_break ] anna : regardless of how we feel , we ca n't be together if you 're gon na continue along this path with sonny corinthos . duke : oh , but , anna , sonny and i -- anna : no , you are running a criminal empire that i have been charged to bring to justice . god . all those years we spent trying to extract you from the mob , and here we are right back where we started -- on opposite sides ... like when we first met . duke : anna ... what if i 've come up with a way to -- to -- to fix that ? what if i 've come up with a way to remove the obstacle that stops us from being together ? anna : what are you saying ? duke : i 'll leave the mob . [ scene_break ] jake : hey . hey . [ clears throat ] you realize my troubles are not your problem , right ? they 're not your fault . nikolas : i do n't know if i can watch you do this . elizabeth : it 's not your choice to make anymore . it 's mine . finally , after all these years , i get a chance to be with jason . i 'm -- i get a chance to be happy . please , nikolas ... if you ever loved me ... tell me you 'll keep our secret . [ sighs ] i would n't go that far . jake : okay , tell you what . would it help if i went out and found ric , beat the hell out of him -- i mean beat the hell out of him ? elizabeth : what ? no . no . jake : i could do that . now , before , i did n't really see the point because , well , he lost you . and there 's not really much more i could do to him that 's worse than that . but now that i see you standing here blaming yourself for what he did , i got to tell you , it 's starting to really piss me off . elizabeth : no , i do n't want you to go beat ric up . please . jake : okay . elizabeth : he had to be desperate to do what he did . not that it 's an excuse , but ... you 're right . he 's already lost . jake : [ sighs ] okay . i 'll back off . but you have to agree that this is on ric and not you . elizabeth : [ chuckles ] agreed . jake : and you have to agree that this is over . elizabeth : over ? wh -- jake : it 's over . ric , hayden -- they are gone . they 're out of our lives . so that leaves us to -- i do n't know ... start fresh . or better yet , pick up where we left off . i mean , i really do n't see a reason why we should n't . do you ? [ scene_break ] hayden : you 've had a rough night . mine has n't been a picnic , either . but we both know a way to salvage it . a lot of ways , actually . come on , do n't worry so much . we 'll keep the noise down . nikolas : [ chuckles ] hayden : unless you do that thing with your tongue ... in which case all bets are off . nikolas : hayden ... hayden : come on . you want me . stop fighting it . stop fighting me . just take me . [ breathes deeply ] [ scene_break ] spinelli : you brute ! you varmint ! you cur ! how dare you ? ! how dare you press your grotesque physique upon the delicate creature of ellie ? ! nathan : press myself ? spinelli : yes . could n't you see her squirming in your wanton grasp ? writhing in your thuggish grip ? nathan : i think those were squirms of ecstasy . ellie : yes . ecstasy . spinelli : you are in no emotional state to allow this villain to paw at you . you 're -- you 're on the rebound ! ellie : who cares ? nathan : well , spinelli , obviously . but why ? ellie : [ sighs ] yes , damian . why should it matter if nathan and i share a heated embrace ? i thought you were blissful with maxie . spinelli : i only worry about your -- your feelings . you 're -- you 're liable to get hurt . maxie : yeah . you know what ? you two , you do n't even know each other . nathan : look , why do n't you do us a favor and worry about your own love story ? all right ? spinelli : love story ? nathan : ellie and i are starting our own -- tonight . ellie : that 's right . and the next chapter begins with nathan taking me home and rocking my world . maxie : [ scoffs ] nathan : you 're damn right . let 's get out of here , and let 's get down to it . maxie : wait ! nathan : wait ? for what ? maxie : i do n't want you to go home with ellie . i want you to come home with me . nathan : maxie , i came to you before and told you i wanted you back . why 'd you turn me away ? maxie : because ! i had made a commitment to spinelli a measly five minutes before you showed up at my door and told me everything that i wanted to hear ... everything i already knew -- that we 're good together ... that we make each other happy . [ sighs ] this whole thing could have been avoided if you had n't agreed to that ridiculous boxing match . nathan , i was on my way to tell you that you are the one for me . and then i walked in on you and spinelli fighting like neanderthals , and this whole thing got out of whack . spinelli : maxie ... is this truly how you feel ? maxie : spinelli ... i 'm sorry to do this to you yet again . i thought i was over you . i thought i had let you go , and ... and i should have . i really want us to be friends and appreciate each other and be the best co - parents to georgie that we could possibly be . but you -- you deserve so much better than me . so much more . you deserve someone like ellie . and i 'm really sorry that i hurt your feelings again . i - i will always feel love for you . but my heart belongs with nathan . spinelli : maxie ... you do n't have to be sorry ... because the truth is ... ... my heart lies with ellie .

[ scene_break ] jake : you 're a good sandwich maker . this sandwich is better than the sandwich we had on our first date . elizabeth : well , it 's a new kind . maybe it 's the maple . jake : maybe . or maybe it 's the fact that the odds are against anybody ringing your doorbell and coming in and claiming that they 're my wife . or your dead husband . or -- i do n't know -- a kid , a missing pet , an accountant . elizabeth : are you saying you do n't care about your past anymore ? jake : i 'm saying that i 'm interested in living my life in the present . do you remember when we were doing this before hayden came in and dropped her bomb ? elizabeth : yeah . you -- you were talking about leaving your past behind . jake : and then i thought my past came to find me . and i was horrified because i was staring at my wife and i had no feeling for her . actually , sometimes i just plain did n't like her . elizabeth : [ chuckles ] jake : and now i know there was nothing to remember . now that hayden 's out of my life , her lies are gone [ clears throat ] i 'm free to live my life . elizabeth : and now that i permanently kicked ric out of my life , i can do the same . jake : mm , well , almost . but not exactly . elizabeth : what do you mean ? jake : there will always be jason . [ scene_break ] olivia : please , i ca n't let julian find out that i 'm carrying his baby . patrick : you do n't think the father has a right to know , olivia ? olivia : not every father . patrick ... no . ... ned : this is n't your business . sam : this is n't any of your business , either . this has to do with olivia and julian and the baby that he does n't know about . olivia : but please , please , just for a minute -- just for a minute , sam , please consider my reasons . okay ? julian is a mob boss . people get hurt and killed because of him . his -- his loved ones are targets . you were there , sam , when his enemies shot up your family dinner . lucas almost died . when i was a teenager , i came up pregnant with dante . [ sighs ] i could see the road that sonny was on . he was in the mob . he was getting worse every single day , and i did n't want that for myself . i did n't want that for my baby . of course , i felt terrible that sonny did n't get to -- to know dante growing up , but , sam , i never regretted that decision . not for one single second . because dante grew up safe and he grew up happy . and you ca n't say that for a single one of sonny 's other kids , especially michael . ned : yes . olivia : [ crying ] this baby deserves the chance to have that kind of life like dante had -- safe and happy and away from bullets and car bombs and kidnapping threats . it 's not gon na get that with julian .

[ scene_break ] duke : i 'll leave sonny and the organization . i 'll throw them away for you -- tonight . anna : you 've been hell - bent on taking julian down . what 's to stop you now ? why ? duke : this vendetta with julian has cost me so much . it 's cost me my relationship with you . julian jerome is not worth another moment without you in my life . anna : you have a real enemy in julian . how are you gon na walk away from that ? and cut ties with sonny ? that 's almost impossible . i - i mean , i 'm not saying that my situation is any easier . i 'm not the commissioner , but i 'm a federal agent now . i 'm spearheading this case against you . we ca n't wish all that away . duke : they ca n't follow through with a case against me if i 'm not around . leave here with me . let 's leave here . anna : what ? duke : come away with me tonight . [ scene_break ] olivia : i 'm begging you , sam , mother to mother , forget what you heard . let me do right by my kid . sam : but you doing right by your baby means doing wrong by my father . and i - i have a responsibility to him ... to my family . what , am i supposed to lie to them for the rest of our lives ? how can i keep a child from him ? it 's been done to him twice already . olivia : your conscience can be clear because you 're gon na see this kid grow up safe and happy . [ sighs ] ned is a good man . he will love this baby . he will protect it . ned : i will . sam , i will . you have my word . olivia : julian can not promise those things . he will always be a threat to the people he loves , not to mention the people that he does n't . [ voice breaking ] sam , please . i 'm begging you , please do n't tell julian . [ scene_break ] julian : sonny has no end of enemies . if we started speculating about who jordan pissed off , we 'd be here until next year 's nurses ' ball . look , i did n't take a shot at you , jordan . but if you do n't check your attitude , butler , next time i might be . [ scene_break ] anna : go away with you ? duke : [ sighs ] there 's too much stacked against us here , anna . we 've got sonny and julian on one side and the fbi on the other . let 's go someplace where nobody knows us . it 's our only chance of survival . we can start all over again . we can do it . you have the connections . you can keep us hidden . you can keep us one step ahead of anybody who 's trying to follow us . anna : but we 'd be leaving -- leaving all our family , our -- our loved ones . duke : i know leaving emma will be very hard , but we 'll still find a way to see her . we can do it . anna , we are worth it . i know it 's a life - altering decision , but do n't we deserve it ? i know it sounds selfish , but we have to start all over again . after all the unhappiness , all the decades of unhappiness , do n't we deserve something ? do n't we deserve to be together ? we can do this . do this with me . come away with me . then we never have to be apart again . please . anna : okay . yes . let 's just go away .

[ kiss ] [ scene_break ] elizabeth : [ breathes deeply ] what does jason have to do with anything ? jake : well ... i 've always known the guy is important to you . but when i saw you up on that stage at the nurses ' ball , i ... there was something different in your voice . and when you told that story about jason carrying robin off the stage , there was something about how you said his name . and then i knew just how important his memory is to you . i do n't want you to have to leave that behind . elizabeth : i wo n't . i ca n't . i realized that tonight . life goes on . but jason will never be far from me . he 'll always be in my heart .

[ rama giggles ] [ scene_break ] bo : everything 's ok for the moment . nora : how can you even say that ? bo : for the moment . at least we have some alone time now , and we can think about what we got ta do . nora : do you have any suggestions ? bo : we ca n't just sit on it . i 'm the commissioner of police . you 're the district attorney . nora : i know that . i know . and it got me thinking . when matthew shot eddie , matthew was distraught . i mean , he was upset before he even got to the motel . bo : that 's because he thought that i was cheating on you with inez . nora : right . right . and then he runs into eddie , and eddie taunts him and tells him all about the filthy things that he 's done to me . i mean , my god , it had to confuse and terrify matthew even more . this is just a child who 's thinking that the life that he 's always known is over , you know ? he is n't a cold - blooded killer . the shooting was impulsive . it was n't premeditated . matthew 's not a danger to anyone . bo : no , but -- nora : but clint is . clint is . if clint had n't manipulated matthew , got him all riled up , matthew never would 've pulled that trigger . matthew never , ever would 've shot eddie . everything that happened that night was clint 's fault , not matthew 's . [ scene_break ] rex : damn . now you 're trespassing . clint : i am not going until you tell me how shane is doing . rex : why would i do that ? clint : because he 's my grandson , damn it . rex : since when ? you did everything you could to cover up the fact that we were related . so when you hired your little loyal sidekick vimal to change test results , covering up the fact that you were my father , you got rid of shane , too . clint : rex , come on . rex : so you do n't get to come over here pretending that you care about your grandson . sorry , gramps , it does n't work that way , ok ? so just get the hell out of here and leave my son alone . clint : rex , my argument was never with shane . rex : i 'm sure he 'll be thrilled to hear that . clint : i 'm not allowed to be concerned ? rex : where was all this concern back when shane needed a stem cell transplant ? clint : i was going to come forward -- discreetly . stacy simply got the jump on me , that 's all . rex : [ scoffs ] that was convenient , was n't it ? does n't make it any more convincing . clint : it 's the truth . rex : come on , clint . we both know that you do n't give a damn about shane . the only reason you 're here is because you screwed over everybody else in your family , and they all hate you . trying to score points with shane -- that 's just pathetic . clint : you have no idea what i 'm trying to do . rex : i do n't care ! you understand ? in fact , if it was n't for all the crap you pulled , shane might not be in the condition he 's in right now . clint : are you trying to blame me for something that a schoolyard bully did to your son ? rex : that is just the beginning of what i blame you for . [ scene_break ] bo : honey , look . we can blame clint for what matthew did all we want , but the truth is it was matthew that fired the gun . now , we ca n't change that . nora : we ca n't give up . bo : no . no . what we do , we hire a hotshot lawyer to help you build a strong defense . nora : a hotshot lawyer ? bo : yeah . like téa . well , somebody even better than that . we use everything that you just said about extenuating circumstances . nora : you think that 'll work ? bo : if matthew throws himself on the mercy of the court , asks for leniency . red , he 's a first - time offender . he 's a minor . nora : it 's not that simple , bo . it 's just not that simple . i mean , first of all , we could end up with a judge who would like to make an example out of matthew just because he is our son . and even if we got leniency , even if we could get him charged as a juvenile , which , by the way , is not a slam dunk , given that he covered up a crime . even if we could establish extenuating circumstances , he does what you suggest , matthew goes to prison for life . [ scene_break ] destiny : you do n't think f your mom and dad would really do that , do you ? drop the charges against your uncle just because he 's family ? that does n't sound like your dad the commissioner to me . matthew : you 're right . it does n't . destiny : your dad 's an honest guy . besides , are n't he and your uncle on the outs anyway ? phyllis : i 'll come back to the eddie ford murder case in a little while , but do n't worry , ducks . i have n't forgotten the extra that i promised you in this special all bukes , all the time edition of `` a.l. `` waitress : here you go . matthew : thanks . destiny : whoa . you look like you got the shakes . why are you so jittery ? matthew : it 's nothing . i 'm fine . destiny : no , you 're not . phyllis : was jessica there to get a workout ? was tess ? either way , was on the arm of her new husband and baby 's daddy , the very hunky robert ford .

[ scene_break ] cristian : are you really sure it 's over between you and john ? natalie : oh , it is now . i went crazy on him . why does marty get to have all the fun ? cristian : what happened ? [ scene_break ] marty : what happened ? john : i do n't remember all of it , but it started when natalie found liam 's sonogram in one of my folders . marty : you kept that ? john : i did but she ripped it up . marty : but you held onto the sonogram all this time . why ? [ scene_break ] phyllis : is tess putting on a good show with her new hubby to win their custody suit ? or has jess really thrown over one of llanview 's very finest -- brody lovett ? more importantly , which couple are you rooting for ? go to our web site and cast your vote for jody or fess . destiny : you know , i think you 're freaking out because you know what phyllis said is true . matthew : can i please just drink this milkshake in peace ? destiny : it 'll taste a lot better if you tell me what 's bothering you . so if you want to stop being a basket case , just let it out already . matthew : there 's nothing to let out . destiny : matthew , you 're a terrible liar . you know that ? so you might as well just tell me what 's bothering you . your dad 's covering for your uncle , right ? matthew : no , that 's not who he 's protecting . [ scene_break ] nora : even if matthew turned himself in and entered a plea , even if téa or some other brilliant , mythical , hotshot lawyer and i could figure out how to possibly cut the deal of the century for matthew , i can see no way for matthew to avoid prison time . and he 's just a baby . he 's just a baby . a how can he possibly survive that ? bo : honey , we do n't have a choice . we ca n't just keep quiet about this forever . and even if we try , how would we live with that ? nora : how would we live with ourselves if we sent our son to prison ? [ scene_break ] marty : after all this time , i mean , after natalie admitted that the baby is brody 's , why are you still holding onto the sonogram ? john : you playing shrink ? marty : i am a shrink . i 'm also your friend . least that 's what i 'm hoping . john : i kept the sonogram because ... when natalie gave it to me , i thought liam was my son . [ scene_break ] natalie : so after i finished ripping up the sonogram , i gave him back the ring . cristian : i get the ring , but what 's the problem with the sonogram ? natalie : because if john wants to see liam , he can come here , and he can see liam in person . cristian : true . natalie : it 's not just that , you know ? i hate seeing john with something from our past , something that 's so intimate , while he 's pushing me away at the same time . cristian : i get that . natalie : well , whatever . i 'm sure it 's just one more reason that john 's probably happy to be rid of me . and marty ? if she thinks that she 's gon na cause any more problems by waving that dna test at me and john , good luck . cristian : breakups really suck , do n't they ? natalie : yeah . yeah , they do . cristian ? cristian : yeah ? natalie : why are you on tv ? phyllis : that 's right , ducks . he 's cristian vega -- cristian : what ? phyllis : painter , bartender , professor , and all - around throbbing hunk of manhood . so what compelled professor vega to pay a visit to statesville prison ? and why was he escorting one mrs. rama patel , the comely wife of vimal patel , a.k.a . the dna demon , the mad scientist doing time for scrambling the buchanan twins ' paternity tests ? natalie : care to comment ? phyllis : is rama taking comfort in another man 's arms ? llanview 's best arms , that is ? all while the dna demon rots in jail ? or is vimmy getting what he deserves , destroying the lives and loves of our beloved buchanan twins ? [ scene_break ] marty : john , i have to ask . if you found out the paternity test was a mistake and that liam was your son , would you forgive natalie and take her back ? [ scene_break ] bo : nora , we 're both in shock right now over what matthew has done . nora , i know it hurts , but we ca n't pretend this did n't happen . nora : i ca n't help it because that 's all i got . bo : nora , no . hey , no . it is n't . listen to me . i want you to imagine that matthew is not your son . he 's your client , ok ? you 're defending him , and you know what you would do . you would work on a plea , and then you would do everything you could to minimize the jail time . nora : he 's not some client , though . he 's my baby . bo : nora , honey , he 's not a anymore . he 's almost grown . nora : he 's still our son . bo : yeah . ok . what about what this is gon na do to him ? what kind of a man do you think he 's gon na grow into knowing that he killed someone and he got away with it ? nora : bo , this is n't getting away with it . bo : and what about the ford boys ? nora : oh , my god , eddie ford terrorized those kids . bo : i know that . eddie ford was nothing but pure evil , but he was their father , and i think they deserve a resolution . and what do you think this is gon na do to us , knowing that we covered up a murder ? that goes against everything that we stand for , everything that we believe in . nora : well , then i have to ask you ... bo : what ? nora : when it comes to crunch time , when that moment comes , can you actually see turning in your own son ?

[ scene_break ] rex : what do i blame you for ? well , let me count the crimes . there 's assault and battery , kidnapping , false imprisonment . i almost forgot extortion , and on top of all that , there 's the crime of playing fast and loose with a kid 's life . clint : i never meant to hurt shane . rex : no , of course not . he was just collateral damage . do you have any idea what you 've done to him ? ok . you let him believe charlie was his grandpa . you stood by , and you watched them bond and get close , and then suddenly -- oh , wait -- charlie is not his grandpa . you have any idea what that does to a kid ? no wonder shane 's fragile now . clint : it 's not my fault that shane is fragile . if you 're looking for blame , you might want to look in the mirror . if you were a better father , maybe you would 've taught shane to roll with the punches or , better yet , to stand up for himself . rex : oh , a man like you ? you 're nothing but an overgrown bully yourself . clint : at least i know how to teach a kid to take care of himself on the playground , all right ? give that kid to me for an hour , not even an hour , and i would make sure he 'd never getting bullied again . rex : you 're not teaching my kid anything . stay away from him . the last thing he needs is you . clint : well , it sounds to me like he needs a little advice . rex : my son tried to kill himself last night , ok ? do you honestly think i would let you anywhere near him ? clint : shane tried to kill himself ? what happened ? is shane all right ? is he getting the help that he needs ? rex : no . you do n't get details . you did n't want anything to do with us before . let 's just leave it that way . clint : rex , like i said , i never had anything against shane . rex : like i said , shane is my blood . we are a package deal . you reject me , you reject him , too . clint : i had good reason to keep you out of my family . came to town to scam jessica . rex : yeah . you 're right , ok ? i was a textbook gold - digger , exactly the kind of trash you 're afraid of . that was a long time ago . clint : not that long . rex : i 've changed . thanks to bo , i have changed . i 've changed for the better . you 've changed for the worse .

[ scene_break ] john : would i take natalie back if i found out liam -- why would you even ask that ? would i like to go back to the day before i found out the truth ? absolutely . life does n't work that way . what 's done is done . [ scene_break ] destiny : that 's why you 've been so weird lately , because you know who killed eddie ford , been trying to keep it quiet , so go because he did n't do it , but they have n't arrested the real murderer because it 's someone you know . matthew : destiny , you do n't know what you 're talking about , ok ? destiny : oh , yes , i do . i watch `` castle `` every week . it has to be someone with a good reason for doing what they did , and your parents are trying to keep it quiet . it has to be someone with means , motive , and opportunity . matthew : we should not be talking about this right now . destiny : we have to , matthew . it 's obviously tearing you apart . oh , my gosh ! i know who the killer is . [ scene_break ] dorian : bo . oh , good . you 're both here . bo : now is . not a good time , dorian . dorian : oh , i am sure it is not . speculation is running rampant in this town as to why the two of you dropped charges against clint fueled , of course , in large part by that biatch phyllis rose . bo : is it ? dorian : yes . popular opinion is that the two of you decided to get those wagons in a circle around clint . is that what happened ? bo , did you talk nora into dropping charges against clint after what he did to my husband , your son ? bo : dorian , believe me , the last thing that we tried to do was protect clint . dorian : you have video of clint leaving the murder scene carrying a weapon , and yet , for no reason , you released him ? bo : we had our reasons for letting clint go , and i think that you deserve to know what they are . [ scene_break ] john : thanks . i have to get back to the station . thank you for the coffee . marty : well , i 'll walk you out . what do you think ? we 're starting to be friends again ? john : yeah . we 're getting there .

[ scene_break ] nigel : madam , how did you hurt your husband ? rama : i told him i was -- nigel : yeah ? rama : perfectly happy living in the buchanan mansion and the lap of luxury . oh , my god , poor vimal . that must have made him feel so awful , you know , living in his 9-by-9 cell . nigel : if i may be so bold , madam , i believe mr. patel should have thought about that before he tampered with this test result . [ scene_break ] clint : balsom , you can tell yourself over and over that you have changed for the better , but in my experience , the leopard does n't change its spots . once a con man , always a con man . rex : do n't worry your little , gray head about it . i have zero interest in your money . in fact , i have as much interest in the buchanan fortune as you have in me . clint : that 's good to know . rex : glad that 's settled . now i can go look in on my son , and you can go . oh , and do n't get any ideas about reaching out to shane because -- i swear to god -- if you go anywhere near -- clint : ok . you made your point . rex : good . you can go . leave us alone .

[ scene_break ] destiny : you do n't think f your mom and dad would really do that , do you ? drop the charges against your uncle just because he 's family ? that does n't sound like your dad the commissioner to me . matthew : you 're right . it does n't . destiny : your dad 's an honest guy . besides , are n't he and your uncle on the outs anyway ? phyllis : i 'll come back to the eddie ford murder case in a little while , but do n't worry , ducks . i have n't forgotten the extra that i promised you in this special all bukes , all the time edition of `` a.l. `` waitress : here you go . matthew : thanks . destiny : whoa . you look like you got the shakes . why are you so jittery ? matthew : it 's nothing . i 'm fine . destiny : no , you 're not . phyllis : was jessica there to get a workout ? was tess ? either way , was on the arm of her new husband and baby 's daddy , the very hunky robert ford .

[ scene_break ] natalie : so after i finished ripping up the sonogram , i gave him back the ring . cristian : i get the ring , but what 's the problem with the sonogram ? natalie : because if john wants to see liam , he can come here , and he can see liam in person . cristian : true . natalie : it 's not just that , you know ? i hate seeing john with something from our past , something that 's so intimate , while he 's pushing me away at the same time . cristian : i get that . natalie : well , whatever . i 'm sure it 's just one more reason that john 's probably happy to be rid of me . and marty ? if she thinks that she 's gon na cause any more problems by waving that dna test at me and john , good luck . cristian : breakups really suck , do n't they ? natalie : yeah . yeah , they do . cristian ? cristian : yeah ? natalie : why are you on tv ? phyllis : that 's right , ducks . he 's cristian vega -- cristian : what ? phyllis : painter , bartender , professor , and all - around throbbing hunk of manhood . so what compelled professor vega to pay a visit to statesville prison ? and why was he escorting one mrs. rama patel , the comely wife of vimal patel , a.k.a . the dna demon , the mad scientist doing time for scrambling the buchanan twins ' paternity tests ? natalie : care to comment ? phyllis : is rama taking comfort in another man 's arms ? llanview 's best arms , that is ? all while the dna demon rots in jail ? or is vimmy getting what he deserves , destroying the lives and loves of our beloved buchanan twins ?

[ scene_break ] valentin : you notified the social worker ? lulu : of course , i did . you think i 'm going to use this situation to just swoop in and grab charlotte without permission ? no , i did it by the book , which meant checking in with ms. watkins and getting her blessing before i stepped foot on school grounds . valentin : you thought of everything . lulu : that 's what a responsible parent does . so , now it 's your turn -- wake our daughter up or let her have a good night 's sleep before school tomorrow . valentin : i 'll be back first thing with fresh clothes . lulu : no need . i have clothes for her here . i hope you like pancakes .

[ scene_break ] martina : thanks for allowing me to come up . i was worried i 'd be turned away at the gate . sonny : you do n't have to worry about that 'cause max knows that we 're on good terms . martina : are we ? sonny : ah , well , i mean ... i guess . you have n't told me what brings you here . martina : i , uh -- i came to say goodbye .

[ scene_break ] anna : i 'm anna . i 'm not sick . i 'm being held here against my will , okay , and you really need to help me . dr. lancaster : what 's going on here ? i heard voices . did alex regain consciousness ? sister crane : doctor , you heard one voice -- mine . i was trying to get alex to relax . her heart rate was ticking up . she 's probably responding to all this fuss . i know you have other patients . alex is n't going anywhere . dr. lancaster : well , if she becomes agitated or regains consciousness , you 're to find me immediately . sister crane : of course , doctor . i always follow your instructions to the letter . but today , not so much . he 's gone . tell me what 's going on . i can have dr. lancaster back in a moment 's notice . [ scene_break ] nina : i hope you mean it when you say you 're finished with anna . valentin : i do . nina : because she 's a lying bitch who has you tied up in knots and preyed on your disabilities , and that kills me . but it does n't change anything . it does n't change what you did . it does n't change all the lies that you told to me . valentin : i hate myself for hurting you , for jeopardizing everything that we care about . but i 'm not going to leave it like this . i ca n't not fix this . i will get you to trust me again . nina : i ... i ca n't . valentin : and for what it 's worth , i did n't intend to fall in love with you . i certainly did n't intend to get married to you . i do n't know , maybe it all came so easy . maybe after a lifetime of sitting on the sidelines , always watching the game , i was afraid to embrace it , because i was just afraid it was going to get taken away . nina : it does n't matter anymore . valentin : it does . it does if it 's the reason that you insist on letting me go . because if you 're worried that charlotte and i are going to leave , we 're not . i love you . charlotte loves you , and i will spend my life convincing you to come back to us . nina : do n't worry about me . worry about charlotte .

[ scene_break ] carly : you make it sound like i 'm deliberately dragging my feet . bobbie : well , carly , you are wasting time trying to figure out this lawyer 's motives . good riddance to her . and this tactic of trying to hold on to sonny 's assets ? for what ? so you can stretch this out for years ? carly : okay , so , i 'm just supposed to let sonny get away with what he did to jax and josslyn ? i do n't think so . bobbie : oh , what are you , the karma police ? carly : mom , he has to pay ! bobbie : and you deserve some peace and happiness . and all the money in the world , including sonny 's ill - gotten fortune , wo n't give you that . you may get some temporary peace from hurting sonny , but he wo n't be the only one you hurt . carly : i can handle the pain . bobbie : i 'm talking about michael and joss . your children love you , and they 'll defend you . they 'll even sit on their true feelings . but this is taking a toll on them . carly : did they say something to you ? bobbie : they did n't have to . you told me that joss was pressuring you to divorce sonny . and michael defends and supports you , but he still loves his father . carly : yeah , i do n't want him to go through any more pain ever . you know ? bobbie : well , then , just make a quick , clean break . put sonny in the rearview mirror . let everyone get on with their lives . is n't what you 've been telling michael to do with nelle ?

[ scene_break ] sonny : you can -- why do n't you stay ? martina : you just called me a one - night stand . sonny : well , but we got another night . martina : [ scoffs ] oh , god . you do n't want me . you just want a distraction . sonny : no . can you give us a little more credit than that ? martina : a distraction from the mess you 're in . sonny : i 'm not in a mess , and if i was in a mess , you cared enough to come all the way out here to my house at night . you could 've just texted . listen , listen to me . i 'm not playing around right now , okay ? we 're good together , we enjoy each other 's company , you have n't left yet . you know , i mean , we still have time for one more act of friendship . martina : maybe more than one .

[ laughs ] besides his daughter . but i think he knows that . and he 's going to regret the day he ever laid eyes on anna devane . so will she . [ scene_break ] valentin : you notified the social worker ? lulu : of course , i did . you think i 'm going to use this situation to just swoop in and grab charlotte without permission ? no , i did it by the book , which meant checking in with ms. watkins and getting her blessing before i stepped foot on school grounds . valentin : you thought of everything . lulu : that 's what a responsible parent does . so , now it 's your turn -- wake our daughter up or let her have a good night 's sleep before school tomorrow . valentin : i 'll be back first thing with fresh clothes . lulu : no need . i have clothes for her here . i hope you like pancakes .
