jason : sonny , if you say you killed claudia in self - defense , you 're just gon na be sending yourself to prison , and you 're gon na force sam and carly to admit that they lied in their original statements . diane : which would make their testimony a lie upon a lie . sonny : carly and sam can sell it . diane : the cross - examination could get very ugly . jason : please , sonny , can you just stick to the cover story ? please . diane : it 's not a good option , but it -- sonny : i 've made up my mind now ! i do n't wan na talk about this ! i 'm pleading self - defense ! it 's the best way to help michael and dante ! [ scene_break ] dante : if i testify in court that i falsified evidence against sonny , my career is over . carly : so find a new career , preferably out of law enforcement , 'cause that would be great for the whole family . dante : oh , you mean that would be great for sonny . carly : no , i mean for your brothers . you lied to michael and morgan about who you were , despite the way morgan worshipped you . you used my kids to build a case against their father . the way i see it , saying you faked the evidence is a good way to pay them back . dante : you know , you make it sound really simple , carly . i mean , so basically i lie . i swear that i 'm a dirty cop , drop - kick my badge and everything i stand for , and move on , and everyone 's happy . carly : i 'm glad you see it my way . [ scene_break ] luke : all bets are off now helena 's back . nikolas : you could n't stay out of this , could you , luke ? you 've been spoiling for a spencer - cassadine war for years . but you yourself said this is n't your fight . this is about me , lucky , and elizabeth . [ scene_break ] lucky : stay away from elizabeth . helena : or what ? oh , really , lucky . you have no jurisdiction at shadybrook . you 're just a small - town police officer who drinks too much and refuses to give up a teenage infatuation when elizabeth has clearly moved on . lucky : i 'll do whatever it takes to protect elizabeth and her children from you . helena : ah , there 's the fantasy , is n't it ? lucky , the great protector of his sweet little family . never mind that elizabeth is a little tramp who will never love you as much as you love her . elizabeth : that 's not true . i do love him . helena : look at her . what do you and nikolas see in her ? and who would imagine that she -- heh -- of all people , would be pregnant with the cassadine heir ? helena : you should be relieved , lucky , that nikolas has released you from any obligation to elizabeth . you do n't need to listen to her lies anymore . now , that should be liberating in itself . no , elizabeth is pregnant with nikolas ' child . that makes her a cassadine responsibility . lucky : this baby could very well be mine , helena . helena : well , i suppose . but imagine nikolas and elizabeth rutting like animals all over wyndemere for many months . i do n't think the odds are in your favor . elizabeth : just stop it . helena : you do not need to paint yourself as a victim anymore . lucky : get out . helena : your love that you two have shared has been dead for a very long time , at least as far as elizabeth is concerned . elizabeth : that 's not true . helena : i suspect that it 's dead for you , too , lucky . you just do n't know how to admit it , so you obliterate the whole situation with drugs and alcohol , anything to avoid the truth . no , you 're sick and tired of elizabeth 's lies and promiscuity . well , in your heart , if you admit it , it 's been over for elizabeth for a very long time , and fortunately , when we prove this child is a cassadine , you 'll be out of the picture . lucky : i 'm going to protect elizabeth whether this baby is mine or not . helena : protect her all you want , but it wo n't change the pattern . elizabeth will whore herself out -- lucky : get out ! helena : ha ! she 'll whore herself out to the next mr . wonderful , and then she 'll come back to you . now , it may be your obligation to take her back , but my only concern is the child , so take good care , elizabeth . lucky : she 's gone . come here . she 's gone . [ scene_break ] luke : once helena swooped in , it became my fight . nikolas : does lucky know that ? luke : lucky lost a year of his life to helena . nikolas : and you still feel guilty because you stopped looking for him . is n't that right ? yeah , you thought he died in the fire . luke : everybody thought he died in that fire , including the fbi . there was a charred body and lucky 's dna all over the room . nikolas : you really are determined to start another war between our families , are n't you ? what , one more round ? one more great adventure ? you go ahead and go up against helena . you leave me out of it . luke : leave you out of it ? how can i do that ? you started it . lucky did n't deserve this . you 're always lookin ' for a woman to save you from yourself , and this time , you found that woman in the arms of your own brother . nikolas : you made your point . luke : he did n't deserve it , nikolas . and now with helena around . i 'm telling you if you or helena mess with any of my family again ... you 've been warned . [ scene_break ] johnny : pier 52 . yeah , tonight . make sure everything 's in place by the time i get there , all right ? and do n't worry . i 'll be out of there before sonny even knows what happened . what is this , 20 questions ? i 'm makin ' a statement . i 'm takin ' back some zacchara territory . pier 52 , just the beginning . [ door opens ] maxie : yes , kate , i understand , okay ? i just got to the garage right now . everything will be fine . johnny : hey . maxie : kate 's car is pinging . i ca n't hear it . the dealer ca n't hear it . the other 4 repair guys i took it to before this ca n't hear it either . but kate insists there is a ping , so you need to fix it immediately . johnny : maxie , i thought you understood what this place really was . maxie : johnny , please . just because this garage is a mob cover does n't mean you do n't know anything about cars . and kate really likes you . so just pop the hood and tinker around there a little and just charge kate an absurd amount of money , give me a receipt that says you fixed it , and maybe she 'll believe me . johnny : okay , i am not a mechanic . this place is a front to help me launder money . it 's designed to cover what i really do . but that 's done . i 'm done hiding . [ scene_break ] dante : well , you got some nerve , i 'll give you that , asking me to lie on the stand , undercut my own evidence on the most important case of my career . carly : you had the nerve to lie to my kids , your brother , for months , and now you wan na suddenly tell the truth and put their father , who happens to be your father , in prison ? i do n't think that 's the kind of person you wan na be . dante : now , come on . i 'm a cop . i mean , i 'm supposed to bring criminals to justice . carly : claudia zacchara was a criminal , and she 's been brought to justice , and why ca n't you leave it at that ? why do you have to take my kids ' father away ? and i do n't believe in your heart that you wan na send your father to prison . that 's why you told the cops that sonny did n't shoot you . dante : look , i bought into the whole fantasy that sonny 's this great father , okay ? he 's not . he 's a thug who 's built an empire on violence and fear , okay ? he kills people and calls it business . he takes fathers away from kids every day . he 's been doin ' it for years , and he keeps getting away with it . michael and morgan will be better off without him . carly : why do n't i call michael and morgan and have you tell them that to their face ? dante : you know , you have to do whatever you have to do , but i 'd rather -- carly : sonny wo n't last in prison . he wo n't last . he has too many enemies . he will be dead in a month . just tell the jury that you falsified the evidence . olivia : do n't you dare ask my son to lie . [ scene_break ] maxie : could you have your existential crisis after you pretend to fix the ping in my car , please ? johnny : what 's it worth to you , hmm ? maxie : here 's a better question . why are you acting like your old self all the sudden ? johnny : you know , when the zaccharas merged with corinthos , i tried to get out of this organization , out of the business . maxie : mm - hmm . i was there , remember ? you were like the worst christmas tree salesman in the history of that holiday . johnny : yeah . well , maybe i realized that life as a law - abiding citizen did n't suit me . i always blamed claudia for gettin ' back into the business , but the truth is i 'm comfortable in this life . maxie : yeah , it 's because you have a self - destructive streak that 's longer than mine . for some reason , it makes you happy to feel like you could die at any minute . johnny : i was a good soldier , maxie . i was loyal to sonny , even after claudia disappeared . i stayed professional , and i did my job , and for what ? not only was claudia murdered . she was thrown out in the woods like she was roadkill , buried , dug up , tossed in a warehouse , and blown up . i will make sonny pay for what he did , and soon . maxie : the life expectancy of people who cross sonny is not very high . but if you ca n't contain yourself , i guess just try to be sneaky . johnny : heh . i want sonny to know exactly what i 'm doing . i want him to watch while i destroy everything he has . [ scene_break ] jason : come on , sonny . willingly sending yourself to prison ? i mean , that 's not gon na help michael or anybody else at this point . sonny : the cops want me . if i say i killed claudia , the investigation will be closed . that 's good for michael . dante will get his bust . hopefully one day , he 'll understand how bad i feel about the whole situation . jason : what about michael ? michael 's a ticking bomb right now . he 's not gon na let you take the fall . he 'll do something desperate . sonny : i 'm not gon na go to prison . okay ? if the trial goes south , i promised carly that i would disappear . jason : if -- that 's a huge risk . once they get dante on the stand and the jury hears his testimony , they 're gon na put guards on you . we might not be able to get you out of here . sonny : the more dante testifies , the further everybody 's gon na be from the truth , and that 's good for michael . dante 's a lot like me . all he 's thinkin ' about right now is the case . maybe one day , he 'll be different . but if i say that i killed claudia , he wo n't have to blame himself for sending me to prison . he was just doin ' his job . it 's good for michael . jason : what about you ? sonny : what do you mean , what about me ? jason : what about you ? sonny : i 'll vanish . but i 'm not gon na disappear from my kids completely . it takes a lot of the pressure off michael is what i -- jason : sonny , this is not the -- sonny : listen to me . okay , you got ta understand . no , no , no . you got ta just listen to what i 'm saying , okay ? here 's the way we 're gon na do this . i 'm gon na say that i killed claudia to protect carly . the jury will buy it , or they wo n't buy it . but it does n't matter , because it will be over . michael and dante can get on with their lives . [ scene_break ] olivia : what the hell are you doin ' tryin ' to guilt my kid into perjuring himself for sonny , trying to get him to wreck his life ? carly : i 'm asking dante to do the right thing . olivia : by lyin ' on the stand ? i do n't think so . carly : he said he does n't want to hurt his brothers . this is his chance to prove it . olivia : you ca n't possibly expect him to lie any more to save sonny 's ass . carly : you want him to send his father to prison ? do you know the guilt he will carry around ? olivia : i want you to leave my son alone . carly : if you would have told the truth about sonny , we would n't be in this situation . if you would have told me the truth that claudia was behind shooting michael , we would n't be in this situation . olivia : well , i did n't , and neither did your husband . and maybe we should have ... carly : yes . olivia : but we had a whole lot of really good reasons not to , carly . carly : your lies got dante into this mess , and now that one simple lie can solve the problem for so many people , you want dante to now tell the truth ? dante : hey , look , just lay off my mother , all right ? olivia : it 's not a simple lie for him to claim he 's a dirty cop . you really think i should have told you the truth about claudia when all your doctors were standing there , telling me and jax it would have killed you and your baby ? carly : you 're damn right . olivia : really ? carly : yes . olivia : well , we did n't . carly : no , you did n't . olivia : no . i should have told my son the truth about his father last july . i did n't . i thought i could find a better way out of it , but i could n't , and i will regret that for the rest of my life . but him lying on the stand is not gon na fix this now . he 's a good man , he 's an excellent cop , and he needs to deal with this the way that he sees fit . carly : well , you really feel that way . you 're okay with him carrying around that kind of guilt . dante : hey , my guilt is my own business , okay , so do n't be dumpin ' your frustration on my mother . carly : i appreciate that you 're gon na do anything you can to help your kid , but you just remember i 'll do the same for mine . dante : carly 's right , you know ? you want everyone else to tell the truth , but you just keep on lying . [ scene_break ] ethan : ooh . lulu : do n't worry . it 's fine . dad expects you to help yourself every now and then . is he around ? ethan : oh , no . he had an errand to run . he asked me to go pick up his cigars for him . lulu : well , that must be some errand . he does n't just trust anyone with his cubans . do you have any idea where he is ? ethan : yes . he went to the mausoleum on skull island . lulu : what is he doing at wyndemere ? ethan : oh , you have n't heard ? lulu : heard what ? ethan : oh , that 's right . you 've been so wrapped up in your new boyfriend , have n't you ? lulu : stop it . you 're seriously starting to scare me . what is this about ? does this have to do with elizabeth and nikolas sleeping together ? ethan : it gets better . elizabeth is pregnant . [ scene_break ] lucky : i 'll do whatever i can to make sure helena does n't come near you again . elizabeth : i 'm sorry . no one would blame you for walking away . lucky : helena has her own agenda . she 's just trying to manipulate both of us . elizabeth : but a lot of what she said was true . you have no obligation to me or to this baby , no matter whose it turns out to be . lucky : elizabeth , i 'm not gon na leave you alone , okay ? i 'm gon na do whatever it takes to keep you safe . okay ? [ scene_break ] olivia : i 've always respected carly , and i understand wanting to protect your kids , but when protecting her kids means wrecking my kid 's life , that 's just not gon na happen . dante : carly 's got guts , though . she 's not afraid to deal with the truth . olivia : and i am ? that 's what you 're sayin ' ? i 'm afraid to deal with the truth ? dante : actually , what i 'm sayin ' is carly never tried to hide who sonny is to her kids . olivia : yeah , and look how that turned out for everybody . do you see what those kids have been through ? michael and morgan grew up , they lived their whole lives behind bulletproof glass , surrounded by bodyguards . you think those kids ever got to play stickball in the street with their friends or go trick - or - treating through the neighborhood on halloween ? no . those kids have been kidnapped and terrorized and god knows what else , and michael 's been through the worst of it . he 's not even sonny 's biological kid . there 's no way that i was gon na choose that life for you . dante : at least michael knew the truth . olivia : oh , yeah . michael did n't know a damn thing for that year that he was in a coma , and he was damn lucky to survive it , too . i should have told you the truth last summer when i came to town , but i did n't want to hurt you . i was afraid of what that truth was gon na do to you , and i did n't want you to have to deal with the fact that your father was a criminal , all right ? i will regret that forever , but anything before that , no . no . i did good . dante : good ? olivia : yeah . dante : you think it was good that you lied to me for my whole life ? i had to grow up thinking that my mother was such a slut ... olivia : hey . dante : that she did n't even know who got her pregnant . i mean , you were one of the most beautiful mothers out of all my friends , and you never had a boyfriend . you never brought a guy home . you never gave anything a chance to actually fall in love with anyone . you know , i thought it was just because you did n't want it . but now i see that it 's just because you were in love with sonny this whole time . olivia : i was in love with the sonny that i grew up with , honey . there 's a part of him that i still see in you . and if you think i enjoy pretending to be the town slut , you wan na think again about that , okay ? i promised myself that i was gon na give you a good life , and i did that surrounded by good , honest people who loved you , and the falconeris might not have a lot of money , and they might not have fancy cars , but they 're decent people who have their lives in order . they go to church . at least , i still do . and i think you should , too . they have dinner together every single night . you did every night of your life growin ' up . and maybe those dinners got a little bit loud , and maybe you have a couple uncles that drink a little bit too much on christmas , but your life was not surrounded by violence , and the mob was n't a part of your daily life . i am so proud of the way that i raised you . i will never apologize for any of that , and if you ca n't see why , then i do n't know what to say . dante : so what now , then , ma ? i mean , you got ta admit it . you should just tell me the truth . you were sort of happy that i lied about sonny shooting me . i mean , you 'd probably be okay if i tanked this case , because you still love him . olivia : you know what ? that 's enough . i did what i did , i made my choices , and i 'm really sorry if you do n't like 'em , but i 'm still your mother , and you 're gon na respect me . and when you get up on that stand and you have the chance to lie or tell the truth , i hope you respect yourself , too . [ scene_break ] lulu : pregnant ? ethan : mm - hmm . lulu : huh . and i 'm sure she does n't know who the father is and she 's milking that for all it 's worth . ethan : actually elizabeth is in shadybrook at the moment . lulu : ah , so lucky and nikolas are falling all over themselves so they can save her . ethan : that 's not exactly fair . all right ? elizabeth fell in love with 2 brothers , and she handled it poorly , yeah , but she 's paying for it . lulu : oh , i do n't feel sorry for elizabeth at all . she 's gon na come out of this looking like the madonna . you just watch . ethan : okay . okay , not to sound cold , but how is this your concern ? lulu : she is tearing our family apart . lucky and nikolas will never stop fighting about her , no matter whose baby it turns out to be . luke : hi , cupcake . did you get those cubans ? ethan : i 'm on my way . lulu : so elizabeth 's pregnant . wow . as if lucky and nikolas did n't have enough problems . luke : yeah . true . well , that 's your brother 's situation to deal with . how are you ? lulu : i 'm better . dante is recovering . luke : good . you should focus on that . lulu : i 'm trying . i just want lucky to know that i love him . luke : he knows . lulu : it just upsets me , because i feel like lucky is gon na blame himself for this mess that elizabeth has created , and then he 's gon na step in and try to fix it . luke : sweetheart , he 's not gon na blame himself . i think he 's smarter than that . i 've talked to him . and , hey , whatever . you know , you have to live the life you live . you make the mistakes you make , and you pay the consequences . [ scene_break ] elizabeth : how can you still love me after i lied to you for so long ? lucky : i knew you had reservations . i should have been listening more closely . elizabeth : you were listening . i just was n't telling the truth . lucky : yeah . but you were scared , you know . all i could think about was marrying the love of my life and living in our dream house out in the country . elizabeth : and those were good things to want . you deserve them . lucky : i should have been paying closer attention to what was really going on with you . i should have trusted my own instincts . and then when i found out the truth , i completely shut you out . elizabeth : i deserved to be shut out . lucky : you walked in on maxie and me having sex in our marriage bed , remember ? elizabeth : you were addicted to pills . i do n't really have an excuse . lucky : well , you 're not an addict , but the pattern is pretty obvious , elizabeth . you self - sabotage . you get close to what you say you want , and then you mess it up . and i do n't know why , but something is very wrong , and you need to face it , and you need to deal with it . i want you to get better . i 'm not gon na turn my back on you now . we 're part of each others ' lives . we always will be . elizabeth : does this mean you forgive me ? [ scene_break ] jason : hey , what are you doin ' here ? carly : i was here trying to talk some sense into dante . jason : okay , see , that 's just the problem , because dante 's a cop , and you can not trust that guy . he could repeat anything that you say to him . carly : somebody has to do something , all right ? i told him he needed to lie at sonny 's trial , say he falsified the evidence -- jason : that 's not gon na happen . carly : you do n't know that . you do n't know that . he 's all over the place . he wants to take sonny down , but he does n't want to send his father to prison . jason : i do n't like sonny 's choices here . if he claims that he killed claudia , he 's going to prison , or he 's gon na have to leave the country , which it 's not gon na be good for michael . and if sonny somehow gets acquitted , the cops are still gon na look at michael for this . carly : no , they wo n't . they 're just gon na think that sonny got away with it again , and we 'll be okay . jason : okay , if sonny says he killed claudia , you 're gon na have to change your testimony to help him . carly : are you worried that i wo n't be able to lie well enough to convince a jury ? jason : no . i know that you 're gon na do what you have to do . i just wish sonny would listen to diane instead of doin ' this the hard way . [ scene_break ] nikolas : that 's it . helena : well , look at you throwing a tantrum . you should be celebrating . nikolas : did you see luke ? helena : not yet , but i take it you have . how is he ? nikolas : well , he thinks that we 're trying to reignite the spencer - cassadine war . [ helena laughs ] helena : oh , dear luke . i 've missed him so terribly . nikolas : is that why you really came back ? to stir up old trouble , have us all hate each other again ? helena : i saw this brewing months ago , nikolas . no , there was definitely something happening between you and elizabeth . no , i warned you . now , i told you how this would end up , but you did n't want to hear any of this at that time . and i was right . my darling , you are a cassadine . stealing your brother 's fiancée simply because you want her is what you do . it 's in your dna . and if that restarts an old forgotten war , you can be hardly be blamed for it . nikolas : really ? so you think it 's inevitable . helena : what i am saying is that i am proud of you for creating an heir ... nikolas : oh , wow . helena : and i consider him worthy of any fight . nikolas : well , first we do n't know if it 's a boy or if it 's even mine . [ scene_break ] lucky : when i found out about you and nikolas , all i could feel was pain . the drinking took the edge off . elizabeth : i 'm so sorry . lucky : no , i 'll always have to deal with the urge to blot everything out with drugs and alcohol . elizabeth : you have every right to be angry . lucky : we 've both made some really , really horrible mistakes , and , elizabeth , we do n't know what the future holds . but that 's okay . that 's okay . everything is gon na be fine . cam and jake are still my boys . we 're still a family . elizabeth : that 's what i want more than anything . lucky : it 's okay . it 's okay . elizabeth : but do you forgive me ? lucky : yes . yes , i forgive you . [ scene_break ] helena : hello , luke . it 's lovely to see you again . luke : likewise . when was the last time ? oh , yes . last summer , when you held me for 3 months in a rat - infested cell and fed me nothing but slop . helena : oh , that was all a dreadful misunderstanding . luke : yes , was n't it ? helena : how are you ? luke : fine . you look better than the last time i saw you . helena : well , if you had n't brought me back from that island , luke . i was dying . [ laughs ] helena : no . luke , i really was . luke : yeah , right . right . yeah , that was a big mistake bringing you back , but i 've made a lot of mistakes when it comes to you . helena : almost like being in love ? luke : almost . not quite . helena : oh , why think about all this unpleasantness when we have so much to celebrate ? luke : may i make you a drink ? helena : well , only if you taste it first . luke : always . helena : are n't you thrilled about elizabeth ? luke : if you harm lucky in any way , and that includes elizabeth , i promise you i will bring our cat - and - mouse game to a very ugly end . helena : oh , i have missed you so much . luke : i 'm serious . i mean it . you 've harmed my son enough for one lifetime . helena : i have no intention of harming lucky . no , in fact i 'm about to make his life much simpler . once i claim elizabeth 's child as a cassadine , lucky will be free . luke : how much easier it would be for everybody if right now i just snapped your lovely neck . helena : well , it 's certainly an option . oh , luke . luke , be patient . lucky will soon be liberated from his devotion to that strumpet . i know that 's what you want for him . so , really , if i think about it , you and i have nothing to fight about at all . in fact , you and i are on the same side . [ scene_break ] carly : okay , assuming the worst happens and sonny has to leave the country before he can be locked up for killing claudia , what happens then ? jason : well , we do what we can do to protect michael and stop him from confessing . carly : i 'm talking about you , jason . what happens to you ? are you gon na take over the business ? jason : yeah . i 'm gon na have to . carly : what about dante ? jason : he 's gon na come after me . carly : he 's a cop . he 's sonny 's son . how are you gon na stop him ? [ scene_break ] lulu : dante , you 're not gon na [ scene_break ] olivia : you got ta keep your people away from dante . sonny : what do you mean , `` my people `` ? olivia : your people . i mean like , uh , carly , morgan , michael , jason . he 's got an endless stream of people marching through his room right now , trying to pressure him out of testifying against you . he does n't need this right now . carly wants him to say that he falsified evidence , wants him to claim he made the whole thing up . sonny : sounds like carly . olivia : look , he 's recovering from a gunshot wound to the chest . he does not need carly in his face trying to guilt him into lying on the stand , sonny . he 's suffered enough . sonny : yeah , he has , but not because of me , because of you . you lied to our son from the very start . you really , really need to own that . [ scene_break ] [ gunfire ] ethan : hey , hey ! whoa ! gents , hey ! heh heh heh . hey , sorry to interrupt you , mates , but you would n't be shooting at my cigar connection , now , would you ? [ scene_break ] sonny : all you had to do was tell me the truth , but you could n't be bothered until after i shot my own son . olivia : i could n't be bothered ? are you freakin ' kidding me ? do you think this was some kind of a casual decision on my part ? i could n't be bothered ? sonny : it would n't have happened if you just told me the truth . olivia : i should have told dante . dante . i should have told him the truth the day that i found him sitting on my sofa in port charles and i knew that he was here to bring down his own father . i should have figured out a way to let him deal with that himself . but i did n't . and that , i will always regret . sonny : you should have told me the truth when you turned up pregnant . olivia : no . sonny : no ? olivia : no . sonny : i missed my son 's entire life ! i never got a chance to know my son ! never got a chance to see him grow up ! watch him play baseball ! get close to him ! but you never told me the truth ! that 's why ! olivia : we were teenagers , sonny . we were teenagers in bensonhurst . you were already workin ' for joe scully when you were n't busy fallin ' all over my cousin connie . sonny : so you were just jealous . is that what -- olivia : you 're damn right i was jealous . sonny : okay . all right . all right . olivia : i was so in love with you , sonny . sonny : yeah . olivia : but even then , a stupid 15-year - old girl , i could see that i did n't want my life to have anything to do with the violence and the corruption of your world , and i would never let that touch my baby . never . so i did n't tell you , and that was a damn good call . sonny : for who ? for you , olivia ? not for dante . not for me . if you had just trusted me , believed in me , things would be different . i would be dante 's father instead of the man that he hates . [ scene_break ] dante : you know what gets me about hospitals is that smell , man . it 's like you ca n't get away from it . i do n't mind the needles , the tubes , the never bein ' alone , but that damn smell . i came up here to get some fresh air . guess it was n't exactly the best time of year to be doin ' that . and probably not the safest height either . sure you saw how icy it is out here . would n't take much for a guy to just slip right off , especially one that needed to be shut up for good .

( chuckles ) it 's legendary . and i think you know i feel the same way about my family . what i 'm trying to say is is it possible that it 's time to put aside all those differences ? it 's only caused us nothing but misery . think of what we could all accomplish if we just focused on -- on ... good , if we just let there be a little peace and love , like the love i have for your sister . pam : steph , i know that you 've always been worried about me , and probably for good reason . but you do n't have to worry anymore . i found my soul mate . he knows me better than i know myself . and i love him . and for the first time in my life , i feel loved . please , tell me that you can accept that . stephanie : donna , do you have anything to say about this ? donna : i just want you to be happy , dad . i mean , that 's all i 've ever wanted , and i ... you are . i - i can see that you are . ( sighs ) stephanie : katie ? katie : ( sighs ) i - i - i guess i have to agree with donna . i ... i just want what 's best for you , and you seem to think that this is , so ... brooke : i think ... ( sighs ) you and i need to talk alone . [ scene_break ] liam : all right . that 's it . we are outta here . hope : wait . what about amber ? liam : i 'm -- i 'm tired of waiting . and i told her i did n't want to talk to her . so maybe she , you know , thought better of it and decided not to show . hope : well , that 's wishful thinking . liam : whatever she has to say , not gon na be that important . she can darken our door some other day . come on . ( sighs ) when you 've been together as long as we have -- [ scene_break ] stephanie : i take it you still have issues with , uh , your father and pam getting married . brooke : you do n't ? stephanie : well , i do n't know what to think anymore . ( chuckles ) i mean , if you tried to convince me that it was a terrible idea , it would n't be a hard sell . brooke : that 's not why i wanted to speak with you alone . stephanie : oh , what do you want to talk to me about ? brooke : it was pretty significant what went on here in this room . stephanie : what almost happened here in this room . you were right when you said everybody should take a step back . brooke : or a step forward . stephanie : so now you approve ? brooke : well , you saw pam and my dad . i mean , there 's no doubt that they have feelings for each other . stephanie : ( scoffs ) oh , this would be a disaster . you 've got to know that . brooke : you know , a few weeks ago , i would have thought the same thing . i never wanted my father to marry that lunatic . stephanie : excuse me . that 's my sister . brooke : sorry . it just slipped out . stephanie : your father 's the lunatic . brooke : ( sighs ) they 've just taken our cue . that 's all . stephanie : oh ? and what cue would that be ? brooke : two people who despise each other , and in a few short months , they 've reinvented their relationship . stephanie : oh , that 's frightening . brooke : ( laughs ) yeah . that 's terrifying . stephanie : so what do you want to do ? brooke : well , you and i could band together , and we could put a stop to those two . stephanie : well , that would be ironic , would n't it ? brooke : or ... ( sighs ) we could take advantage of the situation and put an end to the hostilities between our families once and for all . stephanie : ( sighs ) if they turn out to be the dysfunctional couple that i think the are going to be , then we 'll be at war all over again . brooke : no , no , we wo n't . i mean , look at everything you and i have been through recently . we 're not gon na go back there . stephanie : well , do n't count your chickens . you and i , like my cancer , are n't out of the woods yet . brooke : ( laughs ) that 's a nice analogy . stephanie : who 'd have thought ? ( sighs ) brooke : they 're waiting for a signal . so i think if ... you and i solidly support it , dad and pam , i - i really do believe it would change the dynamics of our families . and is n't that what we want ? stephanie : love conquers all ? brooke : well , yeah . ( laughs ) yes , it worked for you and for me , and i do love you , stephanie . stephanie : oh , stop that . brooke : and you love me , too . stephanie : oh ... brooke : you know it . just think about it , what you and i could do together . this is our time . we can end the battling and the feuding , and think about what it would mean for our children , for your grandchildren , and everything that we could actually accomplish together . forgiveness , stephanie . a wise woman told me about forgiveness this christmas . forgiving is living . yes . so let 's do it . you and me . let 's end this feud between our families . come on . [ scene_break ] amber : you were leaving ? hope : well , did you think we were gon na wait around all day ? liam : ( sighs ) come on in , amber . so what is it ? what 'd you need to see me about ? amber : i told you it was important . liam : yeah . took you long enough getting here . amber : yeah , i was just trying to get my head on straight . hope : maybe you should have done that the night of liam 's party . amber : yeah , maybe i should have . hope : instead , you followed him home and tried to seduce him . you know what ? it -- it was n't even a seduction , really . you just broke into his apartment and crawled into bed with him . amber : he did n't send me away . liam : how could i ? i was completely out of it . hope : yeah , which you should have realized , but obviously , that did n't stop you . liam : hey , can we , uh , can we get to the point ? say what you came here to say . amber : ( sighs ) maybe i should just talk to liam alone . hope : oh , you 'd love that , would n't you ? no , amber . i 'm not going anywhere . i am liam 's girlfriend , and whatever you have to say to him , you can say to me . amber : okay , fine . i 'm pregnant , liam , with your baby . congratulations . you 're gon na be a daddy .Summarize.[/INST]liam tells hope that he does n't know what it is about but amber is on her way over . hope says she knows amber and she is trouble . he still does n't remember what happened that night so it 's his word against amber 's . he was so out of it that he ca n't believe that he could have been that aroused to have done what amber said . stephen asks donna and pam if they have come to an understanding . donna slyly says yes , they do understand each other very well . he wants to be able to bring pam to donna 's wedding . brooke and katie return and tell stephen that they have invited stephanie over . they were sure that pam would want her to know the good news . pam tells stephanie that she is not going to change her mind . she loves this man and they are going to get married . stephen adds his two cents by saying they have all made mistakes and they regret it , but they are good for each other and they are going to be married with or without their blessings .</s> | 3,351 |

[ scene_break ] jackie : what is it , darling ? owen : i 'm just thinking about what you said about katie feeling betrayed . i 'm sure that steffy was just trying to be loyal to her family . jackie : yeah , and family means everything , does n't it ? owen : well , it does to me . but i think you already know that . jackie : still , a wife likes to be reminded just occasionally . owen : just occasionally ? with a big huge thing of flowers ? a bouquet of flowers and , uh , some candy and maybe a nice bottle of champagne ? jackie : i 'll settle for a kiss . owen : mm , that i can do . jackie : maybe you should check in on steffy . she could probably do with a friend right now , you know ? things are probably very tough for her on a lot of fronts .

( chuckles ) katie : so you ready to jump right in ? hope : oh , yeah , just point me towards the mail room . katie : actually , i had another idea . you know the dare campaign ? hope : um , i know it did n't work out . katie : which is why we need to come up with a new approach asap . hope : okay . you want me to sit in on some brainstorming sessions , get a feel for how things work ? katie : how about , just for kicks , you come up with an idea of your own . hope : rea -- really ? but i just got here . katie : well , bill is very interested in going after the youth demographic , and since young people like yourself are our hope for the future -- hope : `` hope for the future . `` the future of forrester . katie : mm . hope : it 's catchy . katie : is n't it ? do you have any pictures of yourself that we could build a presentation around ? hope : you want me to create an entire presentation ? katie : oh , do n't worry . i 'll -- i 'll help get you started . in fact , we can sit down right here and , uh , bounce a few ideas around right now . hope : aunt katie , you really think i can do this ? katie : i know you can . in fact , i 'm counting on it .

you 're going to betray your best friend . whitney : fox , what theresa is doing is horrible . she 's taking the place of the real surrogate , getting pregnant with gwen 's eggs , having ethan and gwen 's biological child , then trading it for little ethan ? that 's sick . fox : just stop and think about this , ok ? whitney : fox , there 's no time to think . theresa 's in the implantation room right now . i got to stop her from doing this . and you know what , it 's not only sickutut it 's illegal . if i do n't stop her from doing it , she 's either going to go to prison or gwen 's going to kill her . fox : ok , but you know what , you 're forgetting about one thing , ok ?

oh , sorry , heather , i do n't know what got into me . sorry , all this talking about this other woman , it just -- it just popped into my head . i 'm sorry . it has to stop . i feel guilty enough about what i did to gwen because i could n't control my feelings for this other woman . and our baby , sarah , she died , and it 's basically my fault because i could n't stay away from this other woman , and i do n't think i 'll ever get over the guilt for that . but this baby -- this baby that you 're going to give us , it just means -- it means so much to us , heather . it 's going to get our marriage back on track , it 's going to heal our wounds . you -- it 's just -- it 's just going to be wonderful , and we wanted to let you know how grateful we are to you . and i 'm sorry for going on and on about my problems . it just feels good to get them out . gwen was telling me earlier that once heather has our baby and she has it in her arms , she 's just -- she 's going to be so unbelievably happy . so thank you . and gooduck . i will -- i 'll see you after the procedure . theresa : well , that was close . when ethan took my hand , i thought for sure he knew it was me . then he started talking about how he still has feelings for me . in spite of everything that 's happened , there 's still a strong connection between us . just forget ethan , theresa . he betrayed me by helping rebecca take my child and then adopting little ethan with gwen . well , i 'm not going to let them have my son . once i have gwen 's eggs implanted in me and i have her baby , then i will force them to trade that child that i 'm having for them with little ethan . nothing is going to stop me from getting my child back . whitney : i ca n't let theresa steal gwen 's baby , i 'm sorry . fox : yeah , but , gwen -- she 's your best friend . she 's your best friend , ok ?

those were wrong things . whitney : i agree , but -- so two wrongs make a right ? fox : yeah , maybe in this case they do . she 's doing it to get little ethan back , whitney . whitney : ok , do you not see that this is a crime ? it 's a crime , and i 'm not going to be a party to it , ok ? i 'm not going to be like my mother . fox : what does your mother have to do with this ? whitney : ok , do you know that she shows absolutely no remorse over having an affair with julian , no conscience at all ?

why would he want me to forget that you 're the man that i love ? luis : well , sheridan , for a lot of reasons . i mean , for one , he hates my family . sheridan : that makes no sense . i mean , if that 's true , then why would he want meo o be with antonio ? i mean , you 're brothers , the same family . why would he choose one brother over the other ? luis : because he 's scared of me . sheridan : scared of you why ? luis : sheridan , he knew that if i got close to you , it would be a lot easier for me to access the crane secrets , you know , find out all the lousy things that he 's done to you , to my father , to everyone else in harmony . and he knows that antonio -- look , antonio would n't expose his secrets . he 's not a threat to him . sheridan : i do n't know , luis . luis : no , sheridan , it 's true . but the one thing that he failed to realize is that the harder he tried to keep me away from you , the more determined i was to bring him down . so i came up with a plan . sheridan , i went into disguise . i found alistair 's secret safe and i found these damn c.d.s . and i 'm telling you , on them is proof -- there 's proof that 'll bring him down . alistair crane will never hurt anyone again . [ computer beeps ] sheridan : what 's happening ? luis : oh , my god . the computer 's breaking the code . sheridan , you see that ? that 's alistair 's plan to have dr . ackland brainwash you . sheridan : oh , my god . luis : sheridan , you see ? sheridan -- sheridan , that is why you were awawn to me even though you thought you loved antonio . sheridan : oh , luis . sheridan : oh , luis , i -- i remember everything . it 's true . you 're the man i want to be with . you 're the man i love . luis : sheridan ? sheridan , what 's wro ? ? sheridan : i was just thinking about what antonio told me . luis : what did he say ? sheridan : that you 're trying to manipulate me , that those c.d.s are fake . luis : well , he 's wrong . sheridan : how do i know that they 're not fake ? luis : sheridan , you have my word . sheridan : but you could 've written up all this stuff all by yourself ! luis : well , i did n't ! sheridan , come on , 'm telling you , this stuff is real . sheridan , i will prove it to you beyond a shadow of a doubt , ok ? i love you . i would n't lie to you . all right , come with me . sheridan : where ? luis : i 'm going to take you to see someone who 's going to show you that everything you just read there is real . ok ? sheridan : ok . luis : come on . gwen : what is going on here ? what -- stop what situation before who gets hurt ? ethan : what 's going on ? you all look so serious . what 's up , fox ? gwen : well , whitney here has something to tell me about theresa and our surrogate . ethan : our surrogate ? i do n't understand . gwen : yeah , well , that makes two of us , because i do n't know what they could possibly have in common . whitney : ok -- ethan : whitney , what 's going on here ? fox : hold on one second . whitney -- excuse us real quick . listen -- do n't do this . whitney : look , fox , i have to . i mean , i ca n't live with myself if i do n't tell gwen whass really going on here . gwen : whitney , what is going on with this whispering ? whitney : look , gwen , i 'm sorry . i mean , i know it seems like i 'm dragging this whole thing out , but -- gwen : seems like it ? whitney : please , i have something very important i need to tell you . um -- since you and ethan are about to have your own child through your surrogate , um , i think that you should let theresa have her son back . i think you need to let her have little ethan , and do it right now , because if you do n't , there 's going to be a lot of heartache with everyone , including yourself , ok ? gwen : so you think i should give little ethan back to theresa , do you ? whitney : oh , i know you should . and it 's the right thing to do , right ? gwen : oh , and you decided this ? you decided this , huh ? whitney : well , i mean , come on , you know in your heart that it 's true . gwen : whitney , are you sure you want to know what 's in my heart , because i 've got a burning desire to tell you to mind your own damn business . i am never giving little ethan back to theresa , do you hear me ? never . doctor : heather ? theresa : yes ? doctor : i 'm dr . simms . s. i 'll be doing your procedure . theresa : oh , i hope right now . dr. simmons : well , we 're ready to begin the procedure if you are . theresa : oh , yeah , i 'm ready -- more than ready . in fact , the sooner , the better . dr. simmons : all right , then . nurse : this is such a wonderfully generous thing you 're doing , heather . theresa : thank you . nurse : how did it come about ? theresa : what do you mean ? nurse : i mean , what process led you to decide to become a surrogate ? what did you have to do ? heather : hello . theresa : how are you feeling ? heather : who are you ? i have n't seen you in rere before . theresa : oh , that 's because my shift just started a few minutes ago . heather : well , i 'm fine . theresa : good . good . um , well , i 'll have to do one test , actually , before we start the procedure and implant the eggs , ok ? heather : oh , ok . theresa : all right . it 's a big night for you , huh ? heather : yes , especially for my couple , ethan and gwen . they 're so nice and generous . theresa : oh , well , that 's great . heather : yeah , i ca n't believe how much money i 'm making doing this for them . my husband and kids are very happy . theresa : oh , yes , that 's it . that 's exactly what i need . heather : ethan is a lawyer , very successful , and gwen is pretty and sweet . they 're just the nicest people you 'd ever want to meet . theresa : oh , you 're very lucky . heather : very . theresa : and , you know , i am sure that they are very , very lucky to have found you , too . heather : they seem to be happy . theresa : ok . all right , well , that 's wonderful , that 's wonderful . so like i said , i have this one test to do . i 'm just going to place this over your face like so and you just breathe in deeply . go ahead , breathe in . oh , gosh . i 'm so sorry . you 're the innocent in all this , but it 's the only thing i can do . sorry . ok , i 'll just take these from you real quick -- yeah , just like that . ok , put these on , and let 's close the door . you know , there was a lot of obstacles that i had to overcome . but in the end , i felt that it was the right thing to do for everyone . nurse : must take a lot of determination on your part , though . theresa : yeah . you got that right . nurse : i can tell from the look in your eyes nothing could 've stopped you . theresa : no , nothing . no , i want to be pregnant with ethan and gwen 's baby in the worst way , so nothing 's going to stop me from having their child .

luis : to let you know you 're finished . dr. ackland : wh ? ? luis : yeah . see , i know everything that you and alistair did to sheridan , how you brainwashed her . dr. ackland : oh , not this again . luis : oh , yeah . i have proof . dr. ackland : what ? luis : mm - hmm , that 's right . yeah , i got proof -- enough to have alistair arrested . and , well , if you want to protect your own behind and not share a jail cell with him , then i 'd suggest you start writing out a confession . dr. ackland : you just -- you 're just not going to give this up , are you ? this is the same insane idea you 've been trumpeting for months . luis : yep . proof . why do n't you read and weep . dr. ackland : where 'd you get this ? luis : hmm , i got it . that 's all you need to worry about . well , except for the fact that you 're going to be busted , and then lose your license to practice medicine and be sent to state prison . well , unless , of course , you turn state 's evidence and testify against alistair . yoknknow , maybe i can get the d.a . to go easy on you . dr. ackland : i ca n't do that . luis : why not ? dr. ackland : testify against alistair crane ? he 's one of the most powerful men in the world . luis : not anymore . you see , this is n't the only c.d . that i have . i 've got reams of information detailing every evil and illegal act that alistair has ever done . so alistair 's going away to prison for a very , very long time , and you are , too -- unless , of course , you wise up . dr. ackland : what do you want to know ? luis : everytngng . dr. ackland : ahem . my association with alistair was extremely limited . luis : yeah ? well , how about we start with this then , ok ? does this information look accurate to you , huh ? is this what alistair made you do to sheridan ? is this what you did to her to make her forget that she loved me ? dr. ackland : well , he -- luis : what , ackland ? i 'm telling you to get it straight , ok ? now , either you can tell me everything or i can make sure that you go to jail for the rest of your life . whitney : gwen , you have to know that it is n't right for you to keep theresa 's son . gwen : why should i care what you think ? ethan : gwen -- gwen : ethan , i 'd like to know . because if whitney is going to stand here all righteous , making these pronouncements -- whitney : that 's not what i 'm doing , gwen . gwen : really ? then what are you doing ? ethan : just give her a chance to talk . gwen : what , are you taking her side ? ethan : no , i 'm not taking her side . fox : just -- shh ! -- let her finish . whitney : i know that you and your mother took little ethan away from theresa for revenge . gwen : no , whitney , the judge took little ethan away from theresa because she 's an unfit mother . whitney : no , everyone knows why that happened -- because you blame theresa for sarah 's death and because you ca n't have any more children , right ? gwen : where are you going with this ? whitney : the point is that since you 're about to have your own child through your surrogate , your own biological child , why not let theresa have her son back ? gwen : why not ? why not ? little ethan was taken away from theresa because the courts of this great state declared her unfit to raise him . why and how is theresa unfit ? well , let me count the ways ! number one , she has no home , number two , she has no job , and number three , she is certifiably insane ! fox : not certifiably . gwen : oh , fox , shut up ! ethan : honey , you got to calm down . gwen : i 'm not going c calm down , ok ? have you guys just , like , forgotten -- all of a sudden forgotten that theresa -- theresa is the one who caused me to fall late in my pregnancy which caused the complications which led to sarah 's death ? theresa killed my little girl , whitney ! whitney : gwen ! everybody knows what happened to sarah was horrible . it was tragic , ok ? but the reason that theresa does n't ha a home or a job right now is because of your mother ! all right , now listen , i understand that theresa does some odd things , but she 's not crazy . gwen : oh , some odd things ? whitney : yeah , and she loves her son . gwen : oh , yeah , she loves her son so much that she dumped him on her mother last summer so she could flit off to los angeles to chase after ethan . or is that just one of those odd things you 're talking about ? whitney , i was nine months pregnant and she tried to steal my husband from me . whitney : gwen , if you wo n't listen to me -- gwen : no , i am not going to listen to you because i do not want to listen to anyone who has anything positive to say about theresa ! she got what she deserved ! i am going to raise her son as my own , and there 's nothing you can do about it , so stop it ! just back off ! whitney : you know what , if you could just get past your anger for one second -- gwen : whitney , i 'm not listening to you . whitney : no , no -- gwen : stop it ! whitney : theresa loves her son ! you know what , if you do n't listen to me , you 're going to cause yourself a lot of pain . gwen : oh , i 'm going to cause myself pain , huh ? whitney : yes ! gwen : is that how it 's going to be ? how about all the pain that theresa caused me ? i can not believe that you have the nerve to stand here in front of my face and defend her ! whitney : theresa did n't mean for sarah to die , gwen ! gwen : she did n't mean it ? fox : hey , hey , hey ! ethan : opop , stop , stop ! gwen : are you crazy ? theresa is a bitch , and do n't you dare defend her ! ethan : stop . dr. simmons : now , heather , you do know that sometimes we have to do this process several times to implant an egg successfully ? theresa : several times ? dr. simmons : yeah , i 'm afraid there are no guarantees . well , i 'm sure that was explained to you , as well as to the winthrops . theresa : no , no , it has to happen this time . it has to happen the first time . it just has to . dr. simmons : well , we all certainly want that , but as i said , we ca n't be certain that this time will -- theresa : no , no no , doctor , please , no , it has to take this time . if it does n't , i 'm going to lose everything ! dr. simmons : i must say , your behavior is certainly unlike that of the other surrogates we 've had in here . is there something you 'd like to tell us , heather ? theresa : no . no , no , i don't . i do n't have anything to say , doctor . dr. simmons : are you sure ? you seem a bit panicky . theresa : you know , no , it 's not that . actually , i 'm just -- i 'm just so impatient sometimes , you know ? i just -- i 'm really anxious to help the winthrops have this baby . that 's what it is . i just , you know- - i just want it to work the first time , for their sake . you know , i want them to be happy . dr. simmons : well , that 's very kind of you , heather , and i will do everything i can to make this happen , i assure you . so just relax , ok ? theresa : ok . dr. simmons : and know that we will do our best to get you pregnant as soon as possible . theresa : thank you . oh , no , i 've got to get pregnant this time . it 's my only chance . i just pray nobody finds the real heather . dr. simmons : what was that ? theresa : i did n't hear anything . dr. simmons : well , i did . check that out , would you , nurse ? nurse : i 'll be right back . good afternoon . tonight on global news at five - it 's a story that sounds likes it out of our strange but true files . an elderly woman has a close encounter with a hawk - a little too close for comfort . the angry bird dug into her arm for over an hour . you 'll hear from her at five . + + + health care frustration . an edmonton man says he was forced to set up and pay for his own mri . + + + and - after months of investigation , a suspect 's arrested in the savage beating of an edmonton senior . wel l have these stories and more - on global luis : is the information on this c.d . correct ?

you were my doctor . i trusted you ! dr. ackland : i am so sorry , sheridan . i do n't know what to say . it -- your father left me no choice . he threatened me , he threatened my family . i hate , i hate what i did to you and i hateysyself for doing it , and -- i just did n't see any other way at the time . i know that makes me look like a coward , and -- luis : well , you 're not the first person to have been intimidated by the cranes , ok ?

is this one of that maniac 's crazy schemes ? whitney : what ? fox : do n't talk about her like that . whitney : no , she -- gwen : excuse me ? whitney : she did n't send me , ok ? i 'm trying to do the right thing for you ! i 'm trying to tell you one of her crazy little schemes because i 'm trying to help you . gwen : by telling me to give her her son back ? how the hell is that helping me ? whitney : if you 'd shut up and listen for a minute , i would tell you ! gwen : well , i do n't want to hear it ! i do n't want to hear it , ok ? just hearing the name theresa makes me want to throw up ! ethan : gwen , please , come on . gwen : theresa lopez - fitzgerald is the bane of my existence , whitney . whitney : oh , my god , if you would just listen , i 'm trying to warn you -- gwen : it 's over ! it 's over ! i will never let that little bitch hurt me or ethan again . her reign of terror on me has come to an end . whitney : i ca n't believe you wo n't even try to listen to me for two seconds so that -- gwen : i am so sick and tired , whit ! i do n't want to hear it ! i am sick of being manipulated by that disgusting lowlife ! ethan : all right , all right , come on , come on . come over here . whitney : god . oh , my god . well , i definitely had no eaea that she 'd react like that . fox : well , hey , you know , you tried to tell her , ok ? you tried to tell her . she would n't listen . whatever theresa 's going to do has already been set in motion , so all we can do is just stand here and watch . whitney : yeah . theresa : you know , i -- you know , i did n't hear anything , actually . i didn't . i didn't . so can we start the procedure ? nurse : wait a minute . i know what 's causing that noise , dr . simmons . i heard it earlier . it 's just the pipes . dr. simmons : yeah , that must be it . i heard the pipes knocking myself in the doctors ' locker room when i took a shower the other day . theresa : oh . well , ok , so now that we know what it is , can we start this , please ? dr. simmons : i know you 're eager , heather , and we 're getting very close . it wo n't be long , now . theresa : all right , thank you . it better not be , or someone 's going to discover that it 's not the pipes knocking , it 's a person . [ knock ] gwen : how dare whitney upset me like that . i have been through enough . ethan : honey , do n't think about whitney . let 's just go to the prep room , ok ? gwen : fine , but if you think i 'm ever going to get over what theresa 's done to us -- ethan : can we not think about this anymore , please ? gwen : and , ethan , if i ever find out that theresa has tried some crazy scheme to win you back or hurt us in any way , i swear i will kill her . i will end her life on the spot if i find out she has done anything else to ruin mine . gwen : she has had it out for me since day one . ethan , she has made it her life 's work to ruin mine . ethan : honey , this is not helping anything . gwen : i know it 's not . i know it 's not . i do n't know why i let her get me so upset . ethan : i do n't know why either , because everything is great . and honestly , i think it 's the hormones , ok , talking here . think about it -- we have a surrogate that 's being implanted with your eggs right now . this is the moment we 've been waiting for . it 's time to be happy , ok ? [ knock ] ethan : what is that ? gwen : i do n't know . ethan : i do n't know , either . gwen : i mean , god , it sounds like someone could be trapped in there . luis : i 've dreamed of this moment for so long . sheridan : luis . luis : i knew it . i knew that alistair and ackland did something to you . sheridan : you were able to prove it . i am so grateful to you . luis : you 're my life . you know , without you , i 'm lost . sheridan : i love you so much . i ca n't spend a minute away from you . luis : i love you , too . i promise we 'll never be apart again , ok ? sheridan : i need you . i feel so safe in your arms . make love to me . make love to me now . dr. simmons : i want you to lie back , heather , and take a deep breath . think positive thoughts . theresa : positive thoughts . ok , i got them . dr. simmons : the best thing you can do for us , heather , to make this implantation successful -- theresa : yes ? dr. simmons : is to stay calm . theresa : ok , calm . dr. simmons : it 'll all go smoothly if you just relax . theresa : calm , relaxed . that 's me , that 's me . ok , just hurry up and do it , please ? fox : hey -- you ok ? whitney : gwen really went off on me , did n't she ? fox : mm - hmm . want me to get you something ? whitney : no , i 'm fine . it 's just , you know , i was trying to help her , that 's all . fox : well , you tried . whitney : she 's got some temper on her , does n't she ? fox : gwen ? whitney : yeah . fox : hmm , a little bit . whitney : but you know what , this is n't good . i mean , if gwen could go off on me like that because she thought i was theresa 's messenger , imagine what she would do when she finds out theresa replaced her surrogate . fox : i do n't even want to think about it . whitney : when gwen finds out what theresa 's up to , she 's going to kill her . gwen is going to end theresa 's life . ethan : it stopped . i guess it 's the pipes , like the nurse said earlier . gwen : i do n't know , honey , it didn'touound like pipes . it sounded like someone was maybe kicking from the inside . god . ethan : all right , yeah , you 're right , that sounds like -- oh , my god . gwen : oh , my god ! ethan : heather , what the hell is going on ? gwen : heather ! what happened ? you 're supposed to be in the implantation room ! theresa : ok . all right , so how are we doing ? ready ? dr. simmons : now , what did i tell you about staying calm , heather ? theresa : i know . i 'm trying . big breaths , stay calm . i know , it 's just , you know -- i 'm trying to . i 'm just really anxious to help the winthrops have this baby . you know , it 's their dream . dr. simmons : and we will try to make their dream co t true , but there 's no big hurry . i mean , it 's not as if someone 's going to come charging through that door and stop the procedure . theresa : thanks . right . oh , god , if you only knew . gwen : what the hell happened here , heather ? how did you get in here ? ethan : let 's take her gag off and find out . gwen : oh , my god . luis : i love you so much . sheridan : i love you , too . luis : sheridan , nothing is ever going to separate us again . we 're going to be together , always . always . always . always . always . it will happen . sheridan will remember our love and we 'll be together . come on . hank : how 's it going ? break the code yet ? luis : no , not yet , but i will . soon , i 'm going to have proof that alistair had dr . ackland brainwash sheridan in that psych ward and made her forget our love . hank : get the proof first , then you can make hipapay . luis : oh , i 'll get the proof , and i 'll make him pay . that bastard took away the woman i love . i 'm not going to stop till i have sheridan in my arms and alistair is destroyed . whitney : i really thought i could reach gwen , you know , but she 's so bitter and nasty . fox : mm - hmm , and she 's rude . whitney : yeah . fox : well , you know what , you did what you could , and it 's obvious she 's not going to change her mind about any of this , so better just stay out of it . whitney : you 're right . this is between theresa and gwen now . fox : you know what , though , if theresa manages to get pregnant with gwen and ethan 's baby -- whitney : that 's going to be one huge explosion . fox : amen . an explosion harmony will probably never recover from . dr. simmons : this is it , heather . the procedure 's about to begin . theresa : hallelujah ! dr. simmons : in a very short time , if everything goes as we hope it will , you 'll be pregnant with ethan and gwen winthrop 's child . theresa : oh , i ca n't wait ! theresa 's voice : when i tell gwen i 'm having her and ethan 's baby , she 'll have no choice but to hand over little ethan , my child for their child . ethan : come on . it 's ok . gwen : oh , heather , are you ok ? heather : i do n't know . i mean , i guess . i was just -- i could n't breathe . ethan : it 's all right , it 's all right . just sit down , sit down . relax . try to relax , ok ? heather : thank you so much . i just did n't think anyone was ever going to hear me or save me . gwen : oh , my god , how did this happen ? hohow 'd you get in there ? heather : you wo n't believe it . gwen : but you 're supposed to be getting implanted with my eggs right now . heather : i wanted to and i was all ready to , and then -- gwen : then ? then what ? heather : then -- gwen : oh , god . oh , god ! if she 's here , ethan , who 's in the implantation room ? theresa 's voice : yes . it 's happening . i 'm getting my son back , gwen , and there 's nothing you can do to stop me . kay : what 's this ? `` simone , i think my luck just changed . `` theresa : this is my only chance to get my son back . nurse : that 's not the woman we just implanted with the winthrops ' embryos . gwen : oh , my god . theresa : i am pregnant with ethan and gwen 's baby . | gwen does not want to hear anything that whitney has to say about theresa , even though whitney was going to tell the truth about theresa 's plan to become the surrogate mother for ethan and gwen . heather is discovered in the closet , bound and gagged . gwen is almost hysterical , wondering who is actually in the implant room . ethan is trying to get her to calm down and tell who it was that chloroformed her and put her in the closet . luis is still working on decoding alistair 's secrets from the disks he took from the safe . sheridan stops by , but luis does not have proof yet to convince her that alistair was behind the shock treatments , the boat explosion , etc . | <s>[INST] hank : man , every time i look at that bandage , i think if antonio would 've aimed 1/4 inch to the right , bye - bye , luis . luis : come on , it barely grazed me . hank : yeah , but his fist didn't . looks like antonio landed a couple there . two brothers like that fighting , dude -- it 's no good . you have to find some other way to work it out . luis : look , hank , that 's why i 'm here , ok ? you know , i 'm just trying to find proof the only reason that sheridan chose antonio over me is because alistair had her brainwashed in the psych ward . once i do that , there wo n't be any reason for us to fight and sheridan will be with me , where she belongs . hank : any luck cracking the code ? luis : no , not yet . i figure it 's just a matter of time . this decoding disk that you stole from the evidence room -- hank : borrowed . luis : yes , well , it 's come close several times , but -- hank : which c.d . you working on ? luis : sheridan in the psych ward . got to find proof . once i do , i 'll get her back . hank : well , good luck . i 'll be back after my shift . luis : all right . luis : come on , break the damn code . give me the proof i need to get sheridan back . [ door opens ] sheridan : luis . luis : sheridan . what are you doing here ? sheridan : i -- i was thinking about what you were saying to me earlier . do you have any proof ? i mean , can you show me , can you prove to me that you 're the one i really want to be with ?

you 're going to betray your best friend . whitney : fox , what theresa is doing is horrible . she 's taking the place of the real surrogate , getting pregnant with gwen 's eggs , having ethan and gwen 's biological child , then trading it for little ethan ? that 's sick . fox : just stop and think about this , ok ? whitney : fox , there 's no time to think . theresa 's in the implantation room right now . i got to stop her from doing this . and you know what , it 's not only sickutut it 's illegal . if i do n't stop her from doing it , she 's either going to go to prison or gwen 's going to kill her . fox : ok , but you know what , you 're forgetting about one thing , ok ? theresa usually manages to screw up her schemes , ok , so f all we know , something 's already happened to stop her . ethan : theresa ? theresa 's voice : oh , god . if ethan has figured out that it 's me and not heather , that i 've replaced the real surrogate , i 'm finished . ethan : theresa . singer : i would hold the hand of the one who could lead me places and kiss the lips of the one who could sing so sweet and i would fly on the wings of the bird i knew could take me highest breathe in , breathe out you keep me alive you are the fire burning inside of me you are my passion for life ethan : theresa ? oh , sorry , heather , i do n't know what got into me . sorry , all this talking about this other woman , it just -- it just popped into my head . i 'm sorry . it has to stop . i feel guilty enough about what i did to gwen because i could n't control my feelings for this other woman . and our baby , sarah , she died , and it 's basically my fault because i could n't stay away from this other woman , and i do n't think i 'll ever get over the guilt for that . but this baby -- this baby that you 're going to give us , it just means -- it means so much to us , heather . it 's going to get our marriage back on track , it 's going to heal our wounds . you -- it 's just -- it 's just going to be wonderful , and we wanted to let you know how grateful we are to you . and i 'm sorry for going on and on about my problems . it just feels good to get them out . gwen was telling me earlier that once heather has our baby and she has it in her arms , she 's just -- she 's going to be so unbelievably happy . so thank you . and gooduck . i will -- i 'll see you after the procedure . theresa : well , that was close . when ethan took my hand , i thought for sure he knew it was me . then he started talking about how he still has feelings for me . in spite of everything that 's happened , there 's still a strong connection between us . just forget ethan , theresa . he betrayed me by helping rebecca take my child and then adopting little ethan with gwen . well , i 'm not going to let them have my son . once i have gwen 's eggs implanted in me and i have her baby , then i will force them to trade that child that i 'm having for them with little ethan . nothing is going to stop me from getting my child back . whitney : i ca n't let theresa steal gwen 's baby , i 'm sorry . fox : yeah , but , gwen -- she 's your best friend . she 's your best friend , ok ? you ca n't tell on her . whitney : i can , fox . i can if what i think she 's doing is wrong . fox : no -- what about all the wrong things that have been done to her lately , huh ? rebecca took her kid awa from her . gwen adopted little ethan , ok ? those were wrong things . whitney : i agree , but -- so two wrongs make a right ? fox : yeah , maybe in this case they do . she 's doing it to get little ethan back , whitney . whitney : ok , do you not see that this is a crime ? it 's a crime , and i 'm not going to be a party to it , ok ? i 'm not going to be like my mother . fox : what does your mother have to do with this ? whitney : ok , do you know that she shows absolutely no remorse over having an affair with julian , no conscience at all ? i got to stop this insanity . this is crazy . gwen : whit , if you want to talk to me , then talk to me . i just do n't have time for this . whitney : ok , look , i know what i 'm doing , ok , and i know that it 's the right thing . fox : hey , whitney , i 'm not so sure . gwen : so , whit , what -- what is it , you know ? what do you want to talk to me about , theresa and my surrogate ? what ? whitney : yeah , i 'm sorry . yeah , i do have something to tell you . um -- gwen : so , whitney , please spit it out . i just -- i do n't have all day here ! whitney : i know , i 'm sorry . i just have to stop this whole thing from happening . gwen : stop what ? whitney : this whole situation , ok , before anyone ends up getting hurt . sheridan luis , have you found any proof yet that you 're the man that i should be with , not antonio ? luis : well , no , not yet , all right ? i have n't broken the code on these c.d.s yet , but when i do , i 'll have all the proof i need . i 'll prove to you that alistair had dr . ackland brainwash you into thinking that you should be with antonio and not me . sheridan : why would my own father do that to me ? why would he want me to forget that you 're the man that i love ? luis : well , sheridan , for a lot of reasons . i mean , for one , he hates my family . sheridan : that makes no sense . i mean , if that 's true , then why would he want meo o be with antonio ? i mean , you 're brothers , the same family . why would he choose one brother over the other ? luis : because he 's scared of me . sheridan : scared of you why ? luis : sheridan , he knew that if i got close to you , it would be a lot easier for me to access the crane secrets , you know , find out all the lousy things that he 's done to you , to my father , to everyone else in harmony . and he knows that antonio -- look , antonio would n't expose his secrets . he 's not a threat to him . sheridan : i do n't know , luis . luis : no , sheridan , it 's true . but the one thing that he failed to realize is that the harder he tried to keep me away from you , the more determined i was to bring him down . so i came up with a plan . sheridan , i went into disguise . i found alistair 's secret safe and i found these damn c.d.s . and i 'm telling you , on them is proof -- there 's proof that 'll bring him down . alistair crane will never hurt anyone again . [ computer beeps ] sheridan : what 's happening ? luis : oh , my god . the computer 's breaking the code . sheridan , you see that ? that 's alistair 's plan to have dr . ackland brainwash you . sheridan : oh , my god . luis : sheridan , you see ? sheridan -- sheridan , that is why you were awawn to me even though you thought you loved antonio . sheridan : oh , luis . sheridan : oh , luis , i -- i remember everything . it 's true . you 're the man i want to be with . you 're the man i love . luis : sheridan ? sheridan , what 's wro ? ? sheridan : i was just thinking about what antonio told me . luis : what did he say ? sheridan : that you 're trying to manipulate me , that those c.d.s are fake . luis : well , he 's wrong . sheridan : how do i know that they 're not fake ? luis : sheridan , you have my word . sheridan : but you could 've written up all this stuff all by yourself ! luis : well , i did n't ! sheridan , come on , 'm telling you , this stuff is real . sheridan , i will prove it to you beyond a shadow of a doubt , ok ? i love you . i would n't lie to you . all right , come with me . sheridan : where ? luis : i 'm going to take you to see someone who 's going to show you that everything you just read there is real . ok ? sheridan : ok . luis : come on . gwen : what is going on here ? what -- stop what situation before who gets hurt ? ethan : what 's going on ? you all look so serious . what 's up , fox ? gwen : well , whitney here has something to tell me about theresa and our surrogate . ethan : our surrogate ? i do n't understand . gwen : yeah , well , that makes two of us , because i do n't know what they could possibly have in common . whitney : ok -- ethan : whitney , what 's going on here ? fox : hold on one second . whitney -- excuse us real quick . listen -- do n't do this . whitney : look , fox , i have to . i mean , i ca n't live with myself if i do n't tell gwen whass really going on here . gwen : whitney , what is going on with this whispering ? whitney : look , gwen , i 'm sorry . i mean , i know it seems like i 'm dragging this whole thing out , but -- gwen : seems like it ? whitney : please , i have something very important i need to tell you . um -- since you and ethan are about to have your own child through your surrogate , um , i think that you should let theresa have her son back . i think you need to let her have little ethan , and do it right now , because if you do n't , there 's going to be a lot of heartache with everyone , including yourself , ok ? gwen : so you think i should give little ethan back to theresa , do you ? whitney : oh , i know you should . and it 's the right thing to do , right ? gwen : oh , and you decided this ? you decided this , huh ? whitney : well , i mean , come on , you know in your heart that it 's true . gwen : whitney , are you sure you want to know what 's in my heart , because i 've got a burning desire to tell you to mind your own damn business . i am never giving little ethan back to theresa , do you hear me ? never . doctor : heather ? theresa : yes ? doctor : i 'm dr . simms . s. i 'll be doing your procedure . theresa : oh , i hope right now . dr. simmons : well , we 're ready to begin the procedure if you are . theresa : oh , yeah , i 'm ready -- more than ready . in fact , the sooner , the better . dr. simmons : all right , then . nurse : this is such a wonderfully generous thing you 're doing , heather . theresa : thank you . nurse : how did it come about ? theresa : what do you mean ? nurse : i mean , what process led you to decide to become a surrogate ? what did you have to do ? heather : hello . theresa : how are you feeling ? heather : who are you ? i have n't seen you in rere before . theresa : oh , that 's because my shift just started a few minutes ago . heather : well , i 'm fine . theresa : good . good . um , well , i 'll have to do one test , actually , before we start the procedure and implant the eggs , ok ? heather : oh , ok . theresa : all right . it 's a big night for you , huh ? heather : yes , especially for my couple , ethan and gwen . they 're so nice and generous . theresa : oh , well , that 's great . heather : yeah , i ca n't believe how much money i 'm making doing this for them . my husband and kids are very happy . theresa : oh , yes , that 's it . that 's exactly what i need . heather : ethan is a lawyer , very successful , and gwen is pretty and sweet . they 're just the nicest people you 'd ever want to meet . theresa : oh , you 're very lucky . heather : very . theresa : and , you know , i am sure that they are very , very lucky to have found you , too . heather : they seem to be happy . theresa : ok . all right , well , that 's wonderful , that 's wonderful . so like i said , i have this one test to do . i 'm just going to place this over your face like so and you just breathe in deeply . go ahead , breathe in . oh , gosh . i 'm so sorry . you 're the innocent in all this , but it 's the only thing i can do . sorry . ok , i 'll just take these from you real quick -- yeah , just like that . ok , put these on , and let 's close the door . you know , there was a lot of obstacles that i had to overcome . but in the end , i felt that it was the right thing to do for everyone . nurse : must take a lot of determination on your part , though . theresa : yeah . you got that right . nurse : i can tell from the look in your eyes nothing could 've stopped you . theresa : no , nothing . no , i want to be pregnant with ethan and gwen 's baby in the worst way , so nothing 's going to stop me from having their child . [ heather groans ] heather : [ muffled ] help . help me . singer : you are my passion for life [ phone buzzes ] dr. ackland : ackland . no , no , tell him i 'm busy . tell him i 'm not here . i do n't care how important it is , i just do n't want to see anybody . just get rid of them . thank you . luis . sheridan . sheridan : hello , dr . ackland . dr. ackland : hello . i wish you 'd called ahead of time . i would 've cleared my schedule . as it is , i 'm extremely -- luis : we 're not going away , ackland . dr. ackland : ok . i 'm not sure i understand . may i ask why you 're here to see me ? luis : to let you know you 're finished . dr. ackland : wh ? ? luis : yeah . see , i know everything that you and alistair did to sheridan , how you brainwashed her . dr. ackland : oh , not this again . luis : oh , yeah . i have proof . dr. ackland : what ? luis : mm - hmm , that 's right . yeah , i got proof -- enough to have alistair arrested . and , well , if you want to protect your own behind and not share a jail cell with him , then i 'd suggest you start writing out a confession . dr. ackland : you just -- you 're just not going to give this up , are you ? this is the same insane idea you 've been trumpeting for months . luis : yep . proof . why do n't you read and weep . dr. ackland : where 'd you get this ? luis : hmm , i got it . that 's all you need to worry about . well , except for the fact that you 're going to be busted , and then lose your license to practice medicine and be sent to state prison . well , unless , of course , you turn state 's evidence and testify against alistair . yoknknow , maybe i can get the d.a . to go easy on you . dr. ackland : i ca n't do that . luis : why not ? dr. ackland : testify against alistair crane ? he 's one of the most powerful men in the world . luis : not anymore . you see , this is n't the only c.d . that i have . i 've got reams of information detailing every evil and illegal act that alistair has ever done . so alistair 's going away to prison for a very , very long time , and you are , too -- unless , of course , you wise up . dr. ackland : what do you want to know ? luis : everytngng . dr. ackland : ahem . my association with alistair was extremely limited . luis : yeah ? well , how about we start with this then , ok ? does this information look accurate to you , huh ? is this what alistair made you do to sheridan ? is this what you did to her to make her forget that she loved me ? dr. ackland : well , he -- luis : what , ackland ? i 'm telling you to get it straight , ok ? now , either you can tell me everything or i can make sure that you go to jail for the rest of your life . whitney : gwen , you have to know that it is n't right for you to keep theresa 's son . gwen : why should i care what you think ? ethan : gwen -- gwen : ethan , i 'd like to know . because if whitney is going to stand here all righteous , making these pronouncements -- whitney : that 's not what i 'm doing , gwen . gwen : really ? then what are you doing ? ethan : just give her a chance to talk . gwen : what , are you taking her side ? ethan : no , i 'm not taking her side . fox : just -- shh ! -- let her finish . whitney : i know that you and your mother took little ethan away from theresa for revenge . gwen : no , whitney , the judge took little ethan away from theresa because she 's an unfit mother . whitney : no , everyone knows why that happened -- because you blame theresa for sarah 's death and because you ca n't have any more children , right ? gwen : where are you going with this ? whitney : the point is that since you 're about to have your own child through your surrogate , your own biological child , why not let theresa have her son back ? gwen : why not ? why not ? little ethan was taken away from theresa because the courts of this great state declared her unfit to raise him . why and how is theresa unfit ? well , let me count the ways ! number one , she has no home , number two , she has no job , and number three , she is certifiably insane ! fox : not certifiably . gwen : oh , fox , shut up ! ethan : honey , you got to calm down . gwen : i 'm not going c calm down , ok ? have you guys just , like , forgotten -- all of a sudden forgotten that theresa -- theresa is the one who caused me to fall late in my pregnancy which caused the complications which led to sarah 's death ? theresa killed my little girl , whitney ! whitney : gwen ! everybody knows what happened to sarah was horrible . it was tragic , ok ? but the reason that theresa does n't ha a home or a job right now is because of your mother ! all right , now listen , i understand that theresa does some odd things , but she 's not crazy . gwen : oh , some odd things ? whitney : yeah , and she loves her son . gwen : oh , yeah , she loves her son so much that she dumped him on her mother last summer so she could flit off to los angeles to chase after ethan . or is that just one of those odd things you 're talking about ? whitney , i was nine months pregnant and she tried to steal my husband from me . whitney : gwen , if you wo n't listen to me -- gwen : no , i am not going to listen to you because i do not want to listen to anyone who has anything positive to say about theresa ! she got what she deserved ! i am going to raise her son as my own , and there 's nothing you can do about it , so stop it ! just back off ! whitney : you know what , if you could just get past your anger for one second -- gwen : whitney , i 'm not listening to you . whitney : no , no -- gwen : stop it ! whitney : theresa loves her son ! you know what , if you do n't listen to me , you 're going to cause yourself a lot of pain . gwen : oh , i 'm going to cause myself pain , huh ? whitney : yes ! gwen : is that how it 's going to be ? how about all the pain that theresa caused me ? i can not believe that you have the nerve to stand here in front of my face and defend her ! whitney : theresa did n't mean for sarah to die , gwen ! gwen : she did n't mean it ? fox : hey , hey , hey ! ethan : opop , stop , stop ! gwen : are you crazy ? theresa is a bitch , and do n't you dare defend her ! ethan : stop . dr. simmons : now , heather , you do know that sometimes we have to do this process several times to implant an egg successfully ? theresa : several times ? dr. simmons : yeah , i 'm afraid there are no guarantees . well , i 'm sure that was explained to you , as well as to the winthrops . theresa : no , no , it has to happen this time . it has to happen the first time . it just has to . dr. simmons : well , we all certainly want that , but as i said , we ca n't be certain that this time will -- theresa : no , no no , doctor , please , no , it has to take this time . if it does n't , i 'm going to lose everything ! dr. simmons : i must say , your behavior is certainly unlike that of the other surrogates we 've had in here . is there something you 'd like to tell us , heather ? theresa : no . no , no , i don't . i do n't have anything to say , doctor . dr. simmons : are you sure ? you seem a bit panicky . theresa : you know , no , it 's not that . actually , i 'm just -- i 'm just so impatient sometimes , you know ? i just -- i 'm really anxious to help the winthrops have this baby . that 's what it is . i just , you know- - i just want it to work the first time , for their sake . you know , i want them to be happy . dr. simmons : well , that 's very kind of you , heather , and i will do everything i can to make this happen , i assure you . so just relax , ok ? theresa : ok . dr. simmons : and know that we will do our best to get you pregnant as soon as possible . theresa : thank you . oh , no , i 've got to get pregnant this time . it 's my only chance . i just pray nobody finds the real heather . dr. simmons : what was that ?

you tried to tell her . she would n't listen . whatever theresa 's going to do has already been set in motion , so all we can do is just stand here and watch . whitney : yeah . theresa : you know , i -- you know , i did n't hear anything , actually . i didn't . i didn't . so can we start the procedure ? nurse : wait a minute . i know what 's causing that noise , dr . simmons . i heard it earlier . it 's just the pipes . dr. simmons : yeah , that must be it . i heard the pipes knocking myself in the doctors ' locker room when i took a shower the other day . theresa : oh . well , ok , so now that we know what it is , can we start this , please ? dr. simmons : i know you 're eager , heather , and we 're getting very close . it wo n't be long , now . theresa : all right , thank you . it better not be , or someone 's going to discover that it 's not the pipes knocking , it 's a person . [ knock ] gwen : how dare whitney upset me like that . i have been through enough . ethan : honey , do n't think about whitney . let 's just go to the prep room , ok ? gwen : fine , but if you think i 'm ever going to get over what theresa 's done to us -- ethan : can we not think about this anymore , please ? gwen : and , ethan , if i ever find out that theresa has tried some crazy scheme to win you back or hurt us in any way , i swear i will kill her . i will end her life on the spot if i find out she has done anything else to ruin mine . gwen : she has had it out for me since day one . ethan , she has made it her life 's work to ruin mine . ethan : honey , this is not helping anything . gwen : i know it 's not . i know it 's not . i do n't know why i let her get me so upset . ethan : i do n't know why either , because everything is great . and honestly , i think it 's the hormones , ok , talking here . think about it -- we have a surrogate that 's being implanted with your eggs right now . this is the moment we 've been waiting for . it 's time to be happy , ok ? [ knock ] ethan : what is that ? gwen : i do n't know . ethan : i do n't know , either . gwen : i mean , god , it sounds like someone could be trapped in there . luis : i 've dreamed of this moment for so long . sheridan : luis . luis : i knew it . i knew that alistair and ackland did something to you . sheridan : you were able to prove it . i am so grateful to you . luis : you 're my life . you know , without you , i 'm lost . sheridan : i love you so much . i ca n't spend a minute away from you . luis : i love you , too . i promise we 'll never be apart again , ok ? sheridan : i need you . i feel so safe in your arms . make love to me . make love to me now . dr. simmons : i want you to lie back , heather , and take a deep breath . think positive thoughts . theresa : positive thoughts . ok , i got them . dr. simmons : the best thing you can do for us , heather , to make this implantation successful -- theresa : yes ? dr. simmons : is to stay calm . theresa : ok , calm . dr. simmons : it 'll all go smoothly if you just relax . theresa : calm , relaxed . that 's me , that 's me . ok , just hurry up and do it , please ? fox : hey -- you ok ? whitney : gwen really went off on me , did n't she ? fox : mm - hmm . want me to get you something ? whitney : no , i 'm fine . it 's just , you know , i was trying to help her , that 's all . fox : well , you tried . whitney : she 's got some temper on her , does n't she ? fox : gwen ? whitney : yeah . fox : hmm , a little bit . whitney : but you know what , this is n't good . i mean , if gwen could go off on me like that because she thought i was theresa 's messenger , imagine what she would do when she finds out theresa replaced her surrogate . fox : i do n't even want to think about it . whitney : when gwen finds out what theresa 's up to , she 's going to kill her . gwen is going to end theresa 's life . ethan : it stopped . i guess it 's the pipes , like the nurse said earlier . gwen : i do n't know , honey , it didn'touound like pipes . it sounded like someone was maybe kicking from the inside . god . ethan : all right , yeah , you 're right , that sounds like -- oh , my god . gwen : oh , my god ! ethan : heather , what the hell is going on ? gwen : heather ! what happened ? you 're supposed to be in the implantation room ! theresa : ok . all right , so how are we doing ? ready ? dr. simmons : now , what did i tell you about staying calm , heather ?

thanks . anne : no , i 'm not accusing you , theresa . i am merely asking you , my assistant , have you seen them ? theresa : okay , well , then , i will repeat myself . anne : mm - hmm . theresa : i do n't have your master keys , nor do i care where they are in the least because i have more important things to focus on , namely raising a child . anne : yes . and since raising that child is gon na be a bit of a challenge , given that your baby daddy wishes you did n't exist , perhaps you were looking , you know , for some pertinent documents regarding said child and using my aforementioned master keys . theresa : oh , you have completely lost it , anne . anne : really ?

abigail : you know , i think that it 's just -- i think it 's just reminding me of how much simpler things were back then , you know ? adrienne : no doubt life tends to get complicated , sweetheart . but you 're young , and you 're in love . you have everything to look forward to . honey , what 's got you so upset ? clyde : all right , look . you , uh , you got to get that cleaned up before abigail brings her things over . i mean , she 's still moving in , right ? you 've talked this thing through ? ben : dad , she has no idea that i know she slept with chad . clyde : she does n't know ? and you 're still letting her move in after she slept with dimera ? why ? ben : because she says she loves me . and i heard her tell chad the exact same thing , that she loves me and that i 'm a better man and that she wanted me . and then last night ... clyde : last night what ? ben : she -- last night , she proved she wanted me . only me . clyde : so you 're convinced it 's over between her and dimera ? even so , son , this is not going to be an easy thing for you to live with . ben : dad , i have to live with it . i love her . i have to make it work . clyde : the next time you see dimera , what then ? ben : it already happened . it already happened . i -- i made sure damn well that he knows abigail 's mine . all mine . stefano : [ chuckles ] chad : done ? stefano : [ exhales deeply ] look , i 'm sorry , but the idea that i would rearrange my life because of your romantic escapades , hey . chad : so it was all just in my imagination that you were furious when i told you i 'd blown abigail off . stefano : well , i was upset that you would throw in the towel for no apparent reason if you really love her . chad : i had a very good reason for breaking things off with abigail . stefano : and what would that reason be ? chad : i 'm looking at him . theresa : i can not believe you are still accusing me of stealing your damn keys . anne : oh , yeah ? 'cause it 's so far fetched that you would doing anything so underhanded ? theresa : i will say it one more time : i do n't have those keys . anne : yeah , well , you better not , honey , because if i find out that you did take my master keys for any nefarious purpose that could come back to bite me , you are going to have a hell of a lot more to worry about than brady black hating on you . eve : ah .

jj : yeah , definitely . i want my yoga pants to smell like i sweat money . bev : [ chuckles ] oh , uh ... jj : paige ? bev : i 'm gon na go , uh ... paige : yeah , just so you do n't forget and say i did n't warn you : once a cheat , always a cheat . go ahead , jj . tell her how you lied to my face . tell her you 're a low - life cheater and a liar . anne : wow . that must have set somebody back a few . eve : it was a gift from my daddy . anne : oh . eve : and yes , anne , it is very valuable . anne : oh , it must be nice to wear your inheritance while your sister works for a living . eve : what the hell does that even mean ? anne : gee , now see here i thought i was speaking english . but obviously you 're not gettin ' my meanin ' , so i 'll simplify it for you . my assistant , she 's on the clock right now . eve : uh - huh . anne : so if she 's just standing around , you know , chatting with her sister ... eve : uh - huh . anne : it 's just not all that professional , you know what i 'm saying ? eve : mm . theresa : oh , anne . look what i found . this is the part where you say thank you . anne : where did you find these ? theresa : in your top drawer of your desk under a pile of paper clips . anne : i looked there . theresa : well , i guess you did n't look very carefully now , did you ? gee , what a relief , huh ? anne : i swear i looked there . theresa : oh , what , what ? you 're sorry ? you 're sorry of accusing me of stealing your keys ? anne : i 'm not listening , theresa . i ca n't hear you . theresa : you 're giving me a raise ? you love me . that was a close call , and i do not like close calls . eve : shh , shh , shh , shh , shh . do n't worry . you 're never going to have to do anything like that again . i got everything i need on jennifer . theresa : did you steal something of hers ? because if you did and anne finds out , jenny is going to be on a warpath , and vengeance -- eve : do n't worry , okay ? nothing i took can be linked back to you in any way . theresa : was it something important ? eve : only to me and jenny . theresa : is it going to knock her down a peg or two ? eve : oh , i 'm counting on it . abigail : i 'm sorry , aunt adrienne . you know , i do n't -- i do n't mean to complain . really , i do n't . and i - i do know how lucky i am to have ben . adrienne : honey , it does n't mean that you 're not under some stress . i mean , just this project alone with jordan leaving town , it 's -- it 's huge . abigail : yeah . adrienne : and i know you 're happy moving in with your boyfriend -- abigail : i am , i am . i 'm really happy about it . i think i 'm just -- i think i 'm just afraid that i 'm disappointing my mom , you know , or maybe i 'm , i do n't know , letting her down or something . adrienne : oh , no . jennifer : honey , please do n't say that . you are not letting me down , i mean it . you 're not . i am so happy for you and ben . adrienne : and so am i. i mean , it 's obvious that you two are a great couple , honey . jennifer : you are , really . and i will miss having you in the house , but you 'll be close by . and like i said before , i am just so happy that you found your soul mate . the man that you are supposed to be with . abigail : [ chuckles ] clyde : ben , i do n't know how you can forgive abigail for making a mistake like that . ben : because i know she 'll never do it again . she 's committed to me . she -- she wo n't go back on that . clyde : son , you never know what a person will or will not do . ben : [ scoffs ] you know what ? i 'm sorry i even told you any of this . clyde : hey , i 'm , uh , i 'm glad you did . i really appreciate you feeling that you could confide in me like that . and i support you , son , whatever you do . ben : thank you . you know , you 're the exact opposite of chad 's father . clyde : what do you mean ? ben : when i was over there at that house , chad heard something . he thought it was his father listening in on his conversation . he totally lashed out . clyde : what did he say ? ben : he said mr. dimera should really stop trying so hard to push him and abigail back together . i know . it 's weird , right ? stefano : ah . you 're my son , hmm ? now it breaks my heart that you would imply somehow -- chad : i 'm not implying anything , father . i 'm stating a fact . you want me to be with abigail . and whatever your reasons are , i 'm worried about them because they sure as hell have nothing to do with me . stefano : as i said , i want you to be with the woman that you love . chad : you think i really love her ? stefano : i know you do . chad : then here 's a reason for me not to be with her . if i really loved her , there is no way that i would make her live in this house of horrors . stefano : your brother and samantha lived here happily . chad : for what ? six weeks before he was killed ? six weeks of happiness together . and in case you did n't notice , abigail is nothing like sami . she is kind and gentle . stefano : and samantha ? chad : is as manipulative and duplicitous as you are . she matches you pretty evenly most of the time . stefano : you 're underestimating abigail . chad : do you really think that that 's a compliment ? sami got -- got tough and nasty and mean because she had to living under your roof with my brother . i would never do that to abigail , so she 's out of my life . and she 's back with ben , and they 're moving in together . stefano : and you approve ? chad : it 's not my business . stefano : look , answer one more question for me , all right ? chad : what is it ? stefano : if you love abigail that much , how do you expect to live without her ? chad : so why , with all of the advantages i have as a dimera , would i want to tie myself down to just one woman ? i got what i wanted from abigail . revenge for sleeping with my brother . i used her . i dumped her . it 's over . let it go . i have . stefano : [ groans ] he loves you enough to give you up . noble . see how long that lasts . clyde : are you telling me stefano dimera is pushing chad to be with abigail ? ben : that 's what i heard chad say . but it does n't matter now 'cause abigail 's with me now . she 's moving in here with me , and that 's the first step . clyde : yeah . okay . well , ahem , i 'll let you get back to what you were doing . just -- just know i want nothing but the best for you , all right ? and you were right . abigail made a mistake , but that does n't mean she 's not the right girl for you . we 're human , right ? ben : yeah . clyde : but she is luckier than she knows to have a man like you loving her . willing to forgive . ben : [ sighs ] clyde : you take care , son . [ sighs ] stefano dimera 's back in town , playing matchmaker . theresa : oh , i 'm so happy that you got what you needed , eve , since it 's all about you . and , i mean , who cares how it affects other people ?

you remain calm and cool , and you go in through the side door with that baby on your hip . because that baby is your key , you feel me ? theresa : this is your advice ? seriously ? eve : it is sound advice , little sister . theresa : oh , okay . well , while you were using those keys that i got you to get whatever it is that you needed to get , i came up with a new plan on how to get brady close to me again . eve : well , that 's wonderful . then you do n't need my calming advice now , do you ? theresa : just -- eve , wait . okay . you know how you said that you owed me ? eve : i do . theresa : all right , well , just -- i 'm just saying somewhere down the road , i might be calling you for that . eve : okay . you know where you can find me . theresa : [ exhales deeply ] anne : well , now that you 're done shooting the breeze with your charming sister while you 're on the clock , i need you to go downstairs to -- theresa : oh . no , it 's my time with tate , sorry . anne : actually it 's not . it 's not your time with tate . it 's your time to work . remember work ?

thanks . anne : no , i 'm not accusing you , theresa . i am merely asking you , my assistant , have you seen them ? theresa : okay , well , then , i will repeat myself . anne : mm - hmm . theresa : i do n't have your master keys , nor do i care where they are in the least because i have more important things to focus on , namely raising a child . anne : yes . and since raising that child is gon na be a bit of a challenge , given that your baby daddy wishes you did n't exist , perhaps you were looking , you know , for some pertinent documents regarding said child and using my aforementioned master keys . theresa : oh , you have completely lost it , anne . anne : really ? theresa : mm - hmm . anne : i 've lost it ? because you ca n't imagine yourself looking for something to make yourself look better in the eyes of tate 's rich and influential progenitor who rues the day he laid eyes on you , let alone made a baby with you ? theresa : wow , you know what , anne ? anne : mm . theresa : i expect everyone in this miserable town to accuse me of stuff like this , but you , you 're supposed to be my friend . anne : oh , yeah . oh , yeah , i am your friend . god help me , i am a good , loyal , and caring friend , and i do not appreciate being taken advantage of , and so ... dónde ... est * ... my keys ?

not yours or anybody else 's . what the hell are you even doing here anyway ? jennifer : i work here . eve : i know you work here . jennifer : my office is -- eve : i know where your office is . so why do n't you get the hell out of here and go to your office and leave me the hell alone ? jennifer : [ sighs ] justin : i did n't ask you here to discuss your son 's seduction of my wife . i just wanted to tell you that i 've repaired some of the damage that you caused by allowing our top designer and distributor to leave the company . kate : oh . hats off to you . justin : so now i need you to close the deal on paul narita and make him the new face of the men 's line yesterday . kate : you know , do n't think you can bully me just because you 're bullying whoever you were talking to on that -- justin : just do your job . adrienne : hey , what is going on ? abigail : do you remember bridget ? adrienne : the woman who took care of you in ireland ? sure . when you and your mom lived there . abigail : yeah . um ... apparently she 's not doing so well . adrienne : oh , honey , i 'm sorry . abigail : she , uh -- i just talked to her . she -- she said she 's doing better , but i really need to see her . she said i should come in september . you know , the village that we lived in , there 's this -- this fall festival that we all used to go to together . adrienne : that 's nice that she wants you to visit for that . unless you think it 's more serious than she 's letting on . oh , honey , is it something else ? abigail : you know , i think that it 's just -- i think it 's just reminding me of how much simpler things were back then , you know ? adrienne : no doubt life tends to get complicated , sweetheart . but you 're young , and you 're in love . you have everything to look forward to . honey , what 's got you so upset ? clyde : all right , look . you , uh , you got to get that cleaned up before abigail brings her things over . i mean , she 's still moving in , right ? you 've talked this thing through ? ben : dad , she has no idea that i know she slept with chad . clyde : she does n't know ? and you 're still letting her move in after she slept with dimera ? why ? ben : because she says she loves me . and i heard her tell chad the exact same thing , that she loves me and that i 'm a better man and that she wanted me . and then last night ... clyde : last night what ? ben : she -- last night , she proved she wanted me . only me . clyde : so you 're convinced it 's over between her and dimera ? even so , son , this is not going to be an easy thing for you to live with . ben : dad , i have to live with it . i love her . i have to make it work . clyde : the next time you see dimera , what then ? ben : it already happened . it already happened . i -- i made sure damn well that he knows abigail 's mine . all mine . stefano : [ chuckles ] chad : done ? stefano : [ exhales deeply ] look , i 'm sorry , but the idea that i would rearrange my life because of your romantic escapades , hey . chad : so it was all just in my imagination that you were furious when i told you i 'd blown abigail off . stefano : well , i was upset that you would throw in the towel for no apparent reason if you really love her . chad : i had a very good reason for breaking things off with abigail . stefano : and what would that reason be ? chad : i 'm looking at him . theresa : i can not believe you are still accusing me of stealing your damn keys . anne : oh , yeah ? 'cause it 's so far fetched that you would doing anything so underhanded ? theresa : i will say it one more time : i do n't have those keys . anne : yeah , well , you better not , honey , because if i find out that you did take my master keys for any nefarious purpose that could come back to bite me , you are going to have a hell of a lot more to worry about than brady black hating on you . eve : ah . [ phone vibrating ] eve : oh , am i interrupting something here ? anne : oh , jeez , i got ta take this . theresa : oh , what a shame . anne : i will talk to you later , theresa . theresa : bye . you showed up just in the nick . anne found out somebody stole her keys , and now she 's on the warpath , thinks that i did it . eve : well , then now you can go back to your office and be the hero who found them . theresa : [ sighs ] you owe me , sis . i took a big risk for you . eve : yeah ? well , so did i . and if i have any luck left at all , it 'll pay off big - time . bev : so we get to hang out together all night tonight , right ? jj : i ca n't 'cause sonny hired me to work at the club , and i just ca n't be out too late . i 'm just not really in a good mood right now . bev : well , i can help you feel better . jj : yeah . bev : seriously , jj ? come on , what is the point in beating yourself up ? it 's not like anyone 's going to give you a medal for it , you know ? jj : you 're right . yeah , there 's no point . you know what , though ? um , being with you is actually really helping . it 's lifting my spirits . bev : oh , yeah ? jj : yeah , definitely . i want my yoga pants to smell like i sweat money . bev : [ chuckles ] oh , uh ... jj : paige ? bev : i 'm gon na go , uh ... paige : yeah , just so you do n't forget and say i did n't warn you : once a cheat , always a cheat . go ahead , jj . tell her how you lied to my face . tell her you 're a low - life cheater and a liar . anne : wow . that must have set somebody back a few . eve : it was a gift from my daddy . anne : oh . eve : and yes , anne , it is very valuable . anne : oh , it must be nice to wear your inheritance while your sister works for a living . eve : what the hell does that even mean ? anne : gee , now see here i thought i was speaking english . but obviously you 're not gettin ' my meanin ' , so i 'll simplify it for you . my assistant , she 's on the clock right now . eve : uh - huh . anne : so if she 's just standing around , you know , chatting with her sister ... eve : uh - huh . anne : it 's just not all that professional , you know what i 'm saying ? eve : mm . theresa : oh , anne . look what i found . this is the part where you say thank you . anne : where did you find these ? theresa : in your top drawer of your desk under a pile of paper clips . anne : i looked there . theresa : well , i guess you did n't look very carefully now , did you ? gee , what a relief , huh ? anne : i swear i looked there . theresa : oh , what , what ? you 're sorry ? you 're sorry of accusing me of stealing your keys ? anne : i 'm not listening , theresa . i ca n't hear you . theresa : you 're giving me a raise ? you love me . that was a close call , and i do not like close calls . eve : shh , shh , shh , shh , shh . do n't worry . you 're never going to have to do anything like that again . i got everything i need on jennifer . theresa : did you steal something of hers ? because if you did and anne finds out , jenny is going to be on a warpath , and vengeance -- eve : do n't worry , okay ? nothing i took can be linked back to you in any way . theresa : was it something important ? eve : only to me and jenny . theresa : is it going to knock her down a peg or two ? eve : oh , i 'm counting on it . abigail : i 'm sorry , aunt adrienne . you know , i do n't -- i do n't mean to complain . really , i do n't . and i - i do know how lucky i am to have ben . adrienne : honey , it does n't mean that you 're not under some stress . i mean , just this project alone with jordan leaving town , it 's -- it 's huge . abigail : yeah . adrienne : and i know you 're happy moving in with your boyfriend -- abigail : i am , i am . i 'm really happy about it . i think i 'm just -- i think i 'm just afraid that i 'm disappointing my mom , you know , or maybe i 'm , i do n't know , letting her down or something . adrienne : oh , no . jennifer : honey , please do n't say that . you are not letting me down , i mean it . you 're not . i am so happy for you and ben . adrienne : and so am i. i mean , it 's obvious that you two are a great couple , honey . jennifer : you are , really . and i will miss having you in the house , but you 'll be close by . and like i said before , i am just so happy that you found your soul mate . the man that you are supposed to be with . abigail : [ chuckles ] clyde : ben , i do n't know how you can forgive abigail for making a mistake like that . ben : because i know she 'll never do it again . she 's committed to me . she -- she wo n't go back on that . clyde : son , you never know what a person will or will not do . ben : [ scoffs ] you know what ? i 'm sorry i even told you any of this . clyde : hey , i 'm , uh , i 'm glad you did . i really appreciate you feeling that you could confide in me like that . and i support you , son , whatever you do . ben : thank you . you know , you 're the exact opposite of chad 's father . clyde : what do you mean ? ben : when i was over there at that house , chad heard something . he thought it was his father listening in on his conversation . he totally lashed out . clyde : what did he say ? ben : he said mr. dimera should really stop trying so hard to push him and abigail back together . i know . it 's weird , right ? stefano : ah . you 're my son , hmm ? now it breaks my heart that you would imply somehow -- chad : i 'm not implying anything , father . i 'm stating a fact . you want me to be with abigail . and whatever your reasons are , i 'm worried about them because they sure as hell have nothing to do with me . stefano : as i said , i want you to be with the woman that you love . chad : you think i really love her ? stefano : i know you do . chad : then here 's a reason for me not to be with her . if i really loved her , there is no way that i would make her live in this house of horrors . stefano : your brother and samantha lived here happily . chad : for what ? six weeks before he was killed ? six weeks of happiness together . and in case you did n't notice , abigail is nothing like sami . she is kind and gentle . stefano : and samantha ? chad : is as manipulative and duplicitous as you are . she matches you pretty evenly most of the time . stefano : you 're underestimating abigail . chad : do you really think that that 's a compliment ? sami got -- got tough and nasty and mean because she had to living under your roof with my brother . i would never do that to abigail , so she 's out of my life . and she 's back with ben , and they 're moving in together . stefano : and you approve ? chad : it 's not my business . stefano : look , answer one more question for me , all right ? chad : what is it ? stefano : if you love abigail that much , how do you expect to live without her ? chad : so why , with all of the advantages i have as a dimera , would i want to tie myself down to just one woman ? i got what i wanted from abigail . revenge for sleeping with my brother . i used her . i dumped her . it 's over . let it go . i have . stefano : [ groans ] he loves you enough to give you up . noble . see how long that lasts . clyde : are you telling me stefano dimera is pushing chad to be with abigail ? ben : that 's what i heard chad say . but it does n't matter now 'cause abigail 's with me now . she 's moving in here with me , and that 's the first step . clyde : yeah . okay . well , ahem , i 'll let you get back to what you were doing . just -- just know i want nothing but the best for you , all right ? and you were right . abigail made a mistake , but that does n't mean she 's not the right girl for you . we 're human , right ? ben : yeah . clyde : but she is luckier than she knows to have a man like you loving her . willing to forgive . ben : [ sighs ] clyde : you take care , son . [ sighs ] stefano dimera 's back in town , playing matchmaker . theresa : oh , i 'm so happy that you got what you needed , eve , since it 's all about you . and , i mean , who cares how it affects other people ? eve : would you stop feeling sorry for yourself , theresa ? i 've been thinking about your situation , okay ? and i hope that you 're playing it cool and keeping your head down now that you and the baby have moved into the kiriakis mansion . theresa : eve , i 'm tate 's mother . it 's not like i 'm gon na blend into the very expensive woodwork . eve : i get that , sweetheart . but if you want to make any headway at all with brady , do n't get in his face about anything , okay ? you remain calm and cool , and you go in through the side door with that baby on your hip . because that baby is your key , you feel me ? theresa : this is your advice ? seriously ? eve : it is sound advice , little sister . theresa : oh , okay . well , while you were using those keys that i got you to get whatever it is that you needed to get , i came up with a new plan on how to get brady close to me again . eve : well , that 's wonderful . then you do n't need my calming advice now , do you ? theresa : just -- eve , wait . okay . you know how you said that you owed me ? eve : i do . theresa : all right , well , just -- i 'm just saying somewhere down the road , i might be calling you for that . eve : okay . you know where you can find me . theresa : [ exhales deeply ] anne : well , now that you 're done shooting the breeze with your charming sister while you 're on the clock , i need you to go downstairs to -- theresa : oh . no , it 's my time with tate , sorry . anne : actually it 's not . it 's not your time with tate . it 's your time to work . remember work ? that thing you get paid for ? theresa : did i ... anne : yeah . theresa : or did i not bring you your master keys ? boop . bev : i 'll catch you later , jj . jj : i 'm sorry you saw that . paige : oh , yeah . i 'm sure you are . jj : paige -- paige : you do know i do n't care what you do , right ? jj : okay , if you just -- paige : i get it , you 're moving on . which , in your case , means using girls and then dumping them . jj : paige -- paige : so let 's see with bev . are you gon na do what you did with me ? make sure she thinks it 's more than just a hookup , let her believe that eventually you 'll actually fall in love with her so that when the cheating happens -- and it will -- it 'll just be that much more devastating ? jj : please stop -- paige : and you know what , i 've been wondering . how many other sluts besides my mom and roxanne were you sleeping with the whole time we were together ? jj : you know what ? paige , stop this and listen to me right now ! living with chronic migraine kate : okay . i got your text , but i do have a meeting . can you make it quick ?

okay , look . sawyer 's your best friend , and friends are really important . okay , so i want you to -- i want you to make sure you guys work it out , whatever happened , okay ? theo : you sound like daddy . chad : well , that 's a compliment because your dad knows what he 's talking about . you think you guys can make up ?

[ scene_break ] jordan : julian , be reasonable here , okay ? not only did i help your sister , ava , when she was pregnant , i - i took the rap for you when you blew away mickey diamond . julian : that is history . in more recent events , you 're the reason why we lost our leverage with sonny . you chose loyalty to your lover over loyalty to us . you 're gon na have to pay the consequences . jordan : you 're smarter than this , julian . you know that killing me gets you nothing . julian : you crossed us . now you get crossed off . i 'm sorry . [ gun clicks ] [ gun clicking ] julian : you looking for these ? [ clattering ] julian : i helped myself to them while you were in the shower . actually , you were in there for a long time . not very green of you . jordan : you 're good . i 'll give you that . almost as impressive as you finding me . how did you know i was here ? fluke : seems ms. ashford was careless . my people spotted her last night , holed up in this dump near the waterfront . julian : well , what do you think ? somebody hooked me up with the address . jordan : oh , and is this the same somebody who gave you the kill order ? i can only assume that faison is still calling the shots from , i do n't know , wherever he is . julian : faison is no longer in the picture . jordan : then who 's the one calling the shots ? [ scene_break ] fluke : well , it 's not an easy task you 've taken on . i understand corinthos ' business is under siege . anna : good afternoon , gentlemen . fluke : oh ! hi , slim . anna : hi . fluke : beautiful and dangerous as ever , i see . anna : oh , it 's nice to see you , too , luke . thanks . [ chuckles ] do you have a moment ? duke : of course . fluke : well , i 'll leave you to it . my regards to your boss . duke : right . how can i help you , commissioner ? anna : commissioner ? oh , it sounds like you almost respect my authority . duke : well , of course , i do . anna : right . so , i heard that you and shawn pulled off quite the rescue last week . duke : well , there was an innocent man being held against his wishes , so i did what i could to help . anna : why did n't you contact the proper authorities ? duke : because there was n't time . and besides , i did n't want to , uh , extend your resources beyond their effectiveness . anna : perhaps we should talk about it a little more over some tea . duke : i 'm fresh out of tea . anna : well , that 's a pity . duke : mm . anna : some other time . duke : anna . it does n't have to be this way between us , you know ? [ scene_break ] nathan : maxie ? i 'm -- hey , i 'm in portland . maxie : i heard . i 'm in port charles . nathan : yeah , i heard . maxie : i ca n't believe you flew all the way across the country to see me . nathan : me ? you 're -- you 're the one who got fogged in . the fact that you even made it home is -- well , it 's , uh , impressive . maxie : well , a lot of good that did us . we 're still on opposite ends of the country . all that effort , and we 're not gon na be together by midnight . nathan : well , we still got a few hours . look , hopefully the kirkland 's plane is still here in portland , and i can get onboard , and i will be back in port charles before the ball drops . maxie : nathan , that 's a really sweet idea , but -- nathan : but nothing , maxie jones . look , we have been through so much for our chance to be together . we went through a hippie con man , aztec daggers , a hard - ass judge with an ax to grind . look , 3,000 miles has got nothing on us . you hear me ? maxie : yeah , i hear you . nathan : good . then i will see you at midnight .

[ scene_break ] julian : who says i 'm working for anybody ? jordan : well , somebody 's got to be calling the shots . right ? it ca n't be carlos , because there 's no way that you would -- you would work for a former subordinate , so who is it ? johnny ? are you the zaccharas ' bitch now ? julian : i am nobody 's bitch , all right ? ! i am my own man . i work for myself . i 'm calling the shots . you understand ? jordan : fine . you 're the boss . but you do n't have to do this . julian : well , it 's flattering that you think i 'm better than this . but i 'm not . i 've come to accept what i do for a living . i 've come to accept the hard decisions i have to make . this is one of them . this right here is what i do ! jordan : it does n't have to be like that , julian . julian : oh , the hell it does n't . no , you 're a lone wolf right now . nobody 's coming to save you . nobody 's gon na protect you , jordan . jordan : that 's not true . no . that 's not true , because i 'm -- i 'm , um -- i 'm under the protection of duke lavery .

[ scene_break ] fluke : so , lavery 's taking over sonny 's territory , huh ? dante : apparently . the commissioner 's not too pleased about it , but i guess duke 's hatred for julian was motivation enough . fluke : mm . dante : you expecting a call ? fluke : oh , no , no . it 's ... just a work thing . dante : work ? lulu never mentioned you got a job .

[ scene_break ] sam : when we kissed on christmas , did that mean anything to you ? patrick : did it mean anything to you ? sam : hey , i - i asked you first . patrick : i think we have something between us , and i would like to explore it . but if you do n't want to , i understand . sam : no , i do . i do . that 's the thing . but i 'm just scared because ... you are really important to me . patrick : and you to me . sam : you know , i tried to move on with silas , and that did n't work out . after i found out the truth about nina , it was too late . everything was done . and just -- you -- you were there for me throughout the whole thing . patrick : oh , yeah . i 've been the stand - up guy . sam : stop . i 'm being serious . if we pursue this , i just -- i do n't want to lose you as a friend . patrick : sam , i understand that . there is a chance that taking our relationship to the next level could ... mess things up a little bit . but there 's also a chance that it could ... get better . sam : [ chuckles ] okay , well , chemistry has certainly never been our problem . patrick : it does n't seem like we ruined anything , does it ? sam : no . not yet , at least . patrick : so , what do you say ? why do n't -- why do n't we just take things ... one step at a time ? sam : one step at a time , huh ? what does that mean ? patrick : well , it means that we , uh , start tonight . you got plans -- new year 's eve ?

[ scene_break ] maxie : oh , no . you missed your flight ? nathan : no , no , it 's okay . the jet 's gon na turn around for me . uh , with any luck , i will be back in port charles no later than 9 : 00 p.m . maxie : great ! i 'll see you at the airport . nathan : maxie , you do n't have to do that . maxie : nathan , we 've come so far . i 'm not gon na let a little traffic get in the way of seeing you at midnight , so just text me your flight details , and i 'll see you there . nathan : yes , ma'am . lulu : [ squeals ] it sounds like all the hopelessness has turned into fierce , unstoppable determination . maxie : this is actually gon na happen , lulu ! i 'm gon na see nathan at midnight . now , the dress is crucial . lulu : okay . maxie : okay . this one says , `` i 'm ready to have fun with you as soon as you get here . `` lulu : sassy without being trashy . maxie : okay . and this one says , `` i 'm ready for a quiet night as we take the next step . `` and this one is kind of a mixture of both , but it does n't go with the shoes he gave me , so ... lulu : [ chuckles ] maxie , relax . nathan is crossing the country two times in one day . all he wants is to be with you . maxie : yeah , but lulu , when i met nathan last new year 's eve , i opened the door to him , and i was at my lowest point , and he still wanted to get to know me . lulu : that is my point . why argue when we agree ? maxie : i 've just dragged him through so much drama that i really want to prove to him this year , i can be fun without the baggage . lulu : you know , maxie , the way nathan tells it , you were gorgeous the first time he saw you . maxie : he said that ? lulu : mm - hmm . it 's not gon na matter what you wear . you could show up in a burlap sack with a garbage bag as a sash , and he will still think that you are beautiful and fun with exactly the right amount of drama . maxie : he would ? lulu : i hate to break it to you , but i think nathan is in it for the long haul . maxie : lulu , that 's so sweet . but seriously , what about my dress ? lulu : the blue one , obvi . maxie : obvi . [ scene_break ] spinelli : i have to agree with maxie . getting a private plane to turn around -- that 's ... impressive . nathan : [ chuckles ] yeah , i told myself that i would never go to my mother for help . spinelli : it 's maxie . nathan : yeah . [ chuckles ] spinelli : [ chuckles ] nathan : i got it bad , huh ? spinelli : oh , pishposh . once upon a time , i had `` it `` worse than you . [ chuckles ] and for good reason . um , maxie 's incredible -- so full of energy and life , but also of the wrong - headed opinion that she is selfish when , in fact , nothing could be further from the truth . nathan : i know why i believe that , but why do you ? spinelli : well , no one who is truly selfish ... could make someone feel like the most important person in the world . nathan : [ chuckles ] spinelli : maxie literally changed me for the better . nathan : i can see how she has that effect on people . spinelli : and i never thought anybody else could make me feel that way until i meet ellie , and this -- this life that i have with ellie and georgie -- it was inconceivable before maxie . nathan : you know , i - i 've been with maxie through every step of this whole custody nightmare , and we 've -- she showed me pictures , and we did that video- chat thing , but ... i 've never actually met georgie in person . spinelli : would you like to ? [ scene_break ] dante : what 's the job ? congratulations . lulu -- she did n't mention anything about it to me . fluke : uh , well , it 's not official , yet , and i 'd rather you did n't mention anything to her . dante : she does n't know ? fluke : no , no . and i do n't want her to know until it 's a real deal . see , uh , tracy and i -- we have decided to start a business together . dante : that 's cool . what kind of business ? fluke : uh , derivatives . dante : derivatives of what ? fluke : i have no idea . [ both chuckle ] fluke : truly . you know , tracy 's the businesswoman . it was her idea . she knows that all i want is an ability to make a quick buck and to make her happy . dante : yeah , yeah . fluke : and tell you the truth , your brother banning her from elq has , uh , really come down hard on her . dante : [ sighs ] yeah , look , i - i have n't really talked to michael about that . i do n't know all the ins and outs . fluke : oh , no , no , no , no . dante , uh , i do n't want you to intervene . believe me , i 'd never ask you to do that . and , truth is , i ca n't blame michael . every time he looks at my face , he 's got to be thinking about that con man that tried to get the family business away from them . dante : yeah , but you know , mikey -- he 's a good kid . okay , it wo n't be long before he realizes that you are n't that guy . fluke : yeah , i hope so . [ scene_break ] anna : your inquiry ? that 's -- that 's interesting , 'cause i think i might have called it more of a witch hunt . [ chuckles ] agent sloane : well , call it whatever you want . it 's on hold . the whole case is under review . anna : you do n't say . agent sloane : seems my superior got a call from the head of the wsb and suddenly our ... history has become a topic of concern , and now [ chuckles ] i 'm being investigated for having a conflict of interest . anna : well , do n't you ? agent sloane : you want to talk about conflicts of interest ? how about the fact that the new head of the wsb just happens to be one of your oldest friends , frisco jones ? you go back further with him than you do with duke lavery , do n't you ? [ scene_break ] duke : why do n't you tell me what 's going on ? lucy : [ inhales deeply ] okay . scott actually asked me to spend new year 's eve with him . duke : well , congratulations . lucy : no ! not congratulations . it 's terrible . [ sighs ] duke : why ? is n't that exactly what you wanted ? lucy : yeah , it was . before he chose booby over me . duke : [ chuckles ] well , now he 's obviously back to choosing you , so win - win . lucy : no . lose - lose . the only reason he 's choosing me is because booby kicked him to the curb . look , i - i do n't want to be someone 's choice by default . i - i - i really want someone to feel they 're madly , madly in love with me , and they 're so blind that they do n't see any other options . i just -- [ sighs ] i 've just come way too far to be bobbie spencer 's sloppy seconds . duke : [ chuckles ] you make that sound like a special at kelly 's . [ laughs ] lucy : that is not funny ! duke : no , you 're right . but you have the chance to spend some time with scott baldwin . are you willing to give that up because -- because of a matter of pride ? [ scene_break ] julian : what the hell are you talking about , jordan ? jordan : i saw the way the wind was blowing . the jerome organization -- it 's crumbling , okay ? so by going against you , i proved my worth to shawn and to duke . julian : you 're lying . jordan : do you really want to risk it ? if you take me out , you will have declared war on duke 's organization . and this -- this whole -- whole cold war that keeps everything in balance will get very , very hot . so ... do you still think that you have to kill me ? do you want to shoot me dead ? [ scene_break ] lulu : [ gasps , claps ] oh ! when i 'm right , i 'm right . maxie : goes with the shoes , too , and that 's the most important thing . lulu : okay , so , nathan 's on his way , you 're dressed to the nines . when will you tell me about your week in portland ? maxie : oh , it was the best week of my life . i mean , i got to feed my daughter , change her , put her to sleep . sometimes those things were a challenge . lulu : i feel your pain . maxie : sometimes we would just do nothing at all , you know ? i 'd look at her face , and she 'd look at mine . we were really just getting to know each other . lulu : you did take her shopping , right ? maxie : of course , i did . i mean , georgie 's clothes are cute and adorable , but more in an `` i 'm being raised by a nerd `` sort of way . so , i , of course , had to supplement all the outfits i got her for christmas . lulu : of course . maxie : and then we went to the portland aquarium , and her face just lit up . you 'd be surprised by how much she can talk . i really think my daughter might be a genius . lulu : look at you . you sound like a mom . maxie : it 's because i 'm actually starting to feel like one . and i do n't know . maybe it 's a good thing that nathan and i got our signals crossed . lulu : why is that ? maxie : because now he has the chance to meet my daughter . [ scene_break ] nathan : i can not get over how much she looks like maxie . spinelli : yeah . it 's uncanny , is n't it ? nathan : hi , georgie . how you doing , baby ? spinelli : you know , you 're quite the natural . nathan : yeah , i guess -- i do n't know . i guess i 've always been good with kids . you know , i ca n't wait to have one of my own . spinelli : wait . one of your own ? are -- i had no idea you and maxie were that serious . nathan : oh , no , no , no . i do n't mean right now . spinelli : oh . nathan : i just -- you know , it 's just something that i want at some point in my life , when i 'm more prepared . spinelli : you know what ? we should probably head to the airstrip if you want to catch your flight , right ? nathan : yeah . hey , listen , thanks for giving me a ride . i really hope i 'm not ... keeping you and ellie from your plans . spinelli : oh , no , no , no . ellie and i will be together long before midnight . and if the gods , the fates , and the jet stream are all on your side , you will be with maxie , as well . [ scene_break ] agent sloane : you can pull all the strings you want to have my inquiry investigated . i have nothing to hide . but you -- you do , anna . and no matter how many friends you have in high places , you still broke the law . and i 'm gon na make sure you pay for that . anna : knock yourself out .

[ chuckles ] excuse me . i see an old friend i need to catch up with . dante : yeah . no problem . fluke : mr. lavery . duke : luke spencer . it 's been a while . fluke : has n't it ? i thought it might be nice if you and i ... had a little discussion about what we 've both been up to recently . lulu : [ sighs ] i am going to come back as soon as i can . it 's , like , a whole thing . dante : okay . no worries . i 'll , uh , take care of your pops . lulu : okay . hi . anna : hi . dante : hey . anna : where 's the fire ? dante : uh , you know , maxie , something going on . uh , i 'm glad i ran into you . have you heard from jordan ashford ? anna : no , i have n't . kind of getting a bit worried , you know ? i mean , if she does n't agree to go undercover at duke 's organization , then ... there 's nothing to stop the jeromes from retaliating against her . [ scene_break ] jordan : damn it , julian . you scared the hell out of me . julian : well , we would n't want that , would we ? jordan : what the hell are you doing here ? julian : is n't it obvious ? i 've come to settle the score . [ scene_break ] sam : hey . patrick : hey . sam : hey . patrick : hi . sam : are you busy ? patrick : i 'm always a little bit busy , but i can find time for you . what 's up ? sam : um ... i think we need to , uh , talk about that kiss . [ scene_break ] elizabeth : jake ? are you home ? jason : i was just about to come find you . uh , i 'm gon na move out . elizabeth : [ sighs ] you 're leaving ? why ? i did n't really expect this . did something happen ? jason : no . but it -- it just occurred to me that i 've , uh , imposed on you long enough . elizabeth : what are you talking about ? the boys and i love having you here . really . i - i mean , seriously , i could list all the ways you help me around the house , not that that matters , 'cause you could never leave my couch and i would still love having you here . jason : this was always supposed to be temporary . i need to go find out what happens next . elizabeth : that 's nice and vague . jason : so is my life , but i got to start somewhere , right ? elizabeth : are you sure you 're not leaving because of me ? [ scene_break ] [ door opens ] lulu : i 'm here , i 'm here , i 'm here . maxie : okay , how could this happen ? i overcame fog and distance and everything air travel does to a person 's hair so that i could be with nathan tonight . i mean , we 're -- we 're supposed to be together on new year 's eve . lulu : yeah , but you 'll still have new year 's day . maxie : new year 's day ? lulu : it 's not new year 's eve , but -- maxie : exactly . and nathan and i are supposed to be together tonight , okay , because it -- it 's supposed to be a sign that this next year , 2015 , will be a good year . it will be our year . lulu : [ sighs ] i know . nathan thinks the same thing . maxie : he said that to you ? lulu : he would n't shut up about it . maxie : oh . lulu : what i do n't understand is if the portland airport was totally fogged in , how did you even get here ? [ scene_break ] nathan : i ca n't believe i came all this way for nothing . spinelli : well , any friend of georgie 's mother is a friend of mine , and ... we are flush with chargers here , and you 're welcome to spend the night , if need be . nathan : i appreciate that . spinelli : let 's see . aha . uh , well , i wish it were under happier circumstances , but it is nice to finally meet you . nathan : yeah , back at you . maxie tells me what a great father you are to georgie . spinelli : oh , on my best days , i hope that 's the case . you know , i - i got to ask . how did you get all the way to portland , given this morning 's atmospheric impediments ? maxie : well , i had to call in a few favors . nathan : i had to exploit someone 's ... connections . spinelli : whose ? [ scene_break ] lulu : favors from who ? maxie : my dad . nathan : my mother 's . spinelli : the villainous liesl obrecht , aka liesl westbourne ? nathan : no , no , i meant , uh -- no , i meant the woman who raised me , madeline reeves . spinelli : ah . is n't she in ... ? nathan : yeah . yeah . she 's in prison . [ scene_break ] lulu : you reached out to your father ? maxie : well , it 's not like he has n't been trying to make up for the fact that he abandoned me at the nurses ' ball . so i just gave him a call . lulu : and the fact that he 's the new head of the wsb had nothing to do with it ? [ scene_break ] spinelli : how did she maintain such connections in the big house ? nathan : well , she , uh -- she was a high - society manhattanite , so i asked her for the number of one of her rich friends , catsy kirkland . spinelli : of kirkland aeronautics and aerospace ? [ gasps ] ellie and i are huge fans . [ chuckles ] nathan : well , catsy was nice enough to send me to a private airstrip outside of portland . spinelli : private airstrip , eh ? [ scene_break ] maxie : there was a plane transporting wsb agents from russia to new york , and my dad called and just had them make a quick layover at a private airstrip in portland . lulu : oh , no . maxie : what ? nathan : what ? spinelli : well , i - i think you and maximista were two planes passing in the night ... or morning , as it were . nathan : [ sighs ] [ scene_break ] dante : is there nothing else we can do to protect jordan ashford ? anna : i do n't know . short of shipping her off to witness protection ... no . jordan 's best bet is to work her way into duke 's circle of trust . [ scene_break ] duke : i 'm not quite sure i know what you 're talking about . what have we both been up to ? fluke : is n't it obvious ? we both have the dubious distinction of having our faces and our freedom stolen by cesar faison . duke : ah . of course . yes , you 're quite right . anytime you 'd like to join a support group , uh , just -- you let me know . fluke : [ chuckles ] that sounds like a good idea . it would be quite entertaining , i think , to commiserate over a fine old bottle of scotch . duke : that sounds like a plan . fluke : the word is that you are stepping in for sonny corinthos . duke : is that the word ? fluke : for what it 's worth , i think he made the right choice . i think the corinthos organization will be in very good hands with you . [ scene_break ] jordan : julian , be reasonable here , okay ? not only did i help your sister , ava , when she was pregnant , i - i took the rap for you when you blew away mickey diamond . julian : that is history . in more recent events , you 're the reason why we lost our leverage with sonny . you chose loyalty to your lover over loyalty to us . you 're gon na have to pay the consequences . jordan : you 're smarter than this , julian . you know that killing me gets you nothing . julian : you crossed us . now you get crossed off . i 'm sorry . [ gun clicks ] [ gun clicking ] julian : you looking for these ? [ clattering ] julian : i helped myself to them while you were in the shower . actually , you were in there for a long time . not very green of you . jordan : you 're good . i 'll give you that . almost as impressive as you finding me . how did you know i was here ? fluke : seems ms. ashford was careless . my people spotted her last night , holed up in this dump near the waterfront . julian : well , what do you think ? somebody hooked me up with the address . jordan : oh , and is this the same somebody who gave you the kill order ? i can only assume that faison is still calling the shots from , i do n't know , wherever he is . julian : faison is no longer in the picture . jordan : then who 's the one calling the shots ? [ scene_break ] fluke : well , it 's not an easy task you 've taken on . i understand corinthos ' business is under siege . anna : good afternoon , gentlemen . fluke : oh ! hi , slim . anna : hi . fluke : beautiful and dangerous as ever , i see . anna : oh , it 's nice to see you , too , luke . thanks . [ chuckles ] do you have a moment ? duke : of course . fluke : well , i 'll leave you to it . my regards to your boss . duke : right . how can i help you , commissioner ? anna : commissioner ? oh , it sounds like you almost respect my authority . duke : well , of course , i do . anna : right . so , i heard that you and shawn pulled off quite the rescue last week . duke : well , there was an innocent man being held against his wishes , so i did what i could to help . anna : why did n't you contact the proper authorities ? duke : because there was n't time . and besides , i did n't want to , uh , extend your resources beyond their effectiveness . anna : perhaps we should talk about it a little more over some tea . duke : i 'm fresh out of tea . anna : well , that 's a pity . duke : mm . anna : some other time . duke : anna . it does n't have to be this way between us , you know ? [ scene_break ] nathan : maxie ? i 'm -- hey , i 'm in portland . maxie : i heard . i 'm in port charles . nathan : yeah , i heard . maxie : i ca n't believe you flew all the way across the country to see me . nathan : me ? you 're -- you 're the one who got fogged in . the fact that you even made it home is -- well , it 's , uh , impressive . maxie : well , a lot of good that did us . we 're still on opposite ends of the country . all that effort , and we 're not gon na be together by midnight . nathan : well , we still got a few hours . look , hopefully the kirkland 's plane is still here in portland , and i can get onboard , and i will be back in port charles before the ball drops . maxie : nathan , that 's a really sweet idea , but -- nathan : but nothing , maxie jones . look , we have been through so much for our chance to be together . we went through a hippie con man , aztec daggers , a hard - ass judge with an ax to grind . look , 3,000 miles has got nothing on us . you hear me ? maxie : yeah , i hear you . nathan : good . then i will see you at midnight . [ scene_break ] patrick : i assume , when you say `` talk about the kiss , `` you mean the one at the christmas party . sam : yeah , of course . i mean , what other one would -- right . patrick : yeah , there was the one where things got a little ... spicy over chinese food . sam : kind of hard to forget that . patrick : and then you -- you said that you , uh -- you wanted to put the brakes on because you did n't ... know if you wanted to be more than friends . sam : i - i - i did say that , but -- patrick : and , sam , i just have to say that i am just excited that you have n't completely kicked me to the curb for not telling you the truth about jason . [ scene_break ] elizabeth : i 've barely seen you this past week . jason : you know what ? um ... i found gainful employment . uh , well , a way to make money , at least . elizabeth : it 's kind of like you 're deliberately staying away since ric came back . jake , if that -- if i made you feel like you were intruding or that you were n't supposed to be here , nothing could be further from the truth . jason : no , no , no . you did n't . you did n't . elizabeth : okay . then i guess i 'm gon na have to ask . are you leaving 'cause you do n't want to see me with ric ? [ scene_break ] julian : who says i 'm working for anybody ? jordan : well , somebody 's got to be calling the shots . right ? it ca n't be carlos , because there 's no way that you would -- you would work for a former subordinate , so who is it ? johnny ? are you the zaccharas ' bitch now ? julian : i am nobody 's bitch , all right ? ! i am my own man . i work for myself . i 'm calling the shots . you understand ? jordan : fine . you 're the boss . but you do n't have to do this . julian : well , it 's flattering that you think i 'm better than this . but i 'm not . i 've come to accept what i do for a living . i 've come to accept the hard decisions i have to make . this is one of them . this right here is what i do ! jordan : it does n't have to be like that , julian . julian : oh , the hell it does n't . no , you 're a lone wolf right now . nobody 's coming to save you . nobody 's gon na protect you , jordan . jordan : that 's not true . no . that 's not true , because i 'm -- i 'm , um -- i 'm under the protection of duke lavery . [ scene_break ] anna : you keep choosing a life that pits me against you . duke : anna , this is not the first time we 've been on opposite sides . we always find our way back to each other . anna : yeah , well , this is different . duke : of course , it 's different . this time it 's about your transgressions , not mine . anna : what ? duke : what you did to faison . you crossed every line , legally and morally , that was important to you . so when you look at me , you do n't see somebody who works for organized crime . you do n't see somebody who runs sonny corinthos ' business . you just see a reminder of your own questionable actions . anna : [ chuckles ] that 's rich . that 's great . trying to turn this around ? duke : no . i 'm trying to get through to you . we need each other . i need you , and you need me . lucy : duke , i am so glad i found you . i 've been looking all over for you . i need you . i need you right now . duke : excuse me , lucy , but anna and i are in the middle of something . lucy : oh . oh . whoops . sorry . how terribly rude of me . i - i 'm so sorry . hi . anna : it 's fine . duke and i are finished . besides , my lunch date has arrived . lucy : uh , `` date `` ? when did that happen ? anna : agent sloane . agent sloane : commissioner devane . thank you for meeting me . anna : i take it it 's not a social call . agent sloane : no . it 's not . anna : thank god . [ chuckles ] agent sloane : i wanted to give you an update on the status of my inquiry against you in person . [ scene_break ] fluke : so , lavery 's taking over sonny 's territory , huh ? dante : apparently . the commissioner 's not too pleased about it , but i guess duke 's hatred for julian was motivation enough . fluke : mm . dante : you expecting a call ? fluke : oh , no , no . it 's ... just a work thing . dante : work ? lulu never mentioned you got a job . [ scene_break ] lulu : maxie , is it possible that you might -- might -- that one 's really cute -- be over - thinking the dress ? maxie : oh , come on ! who are you and what have you done with my friend lulu ? lulu : [ chuckles ] maxie : has motherhood just obliterated all of our years at crimson together ? [ cell phone rings ] lulu : wonder who that could be . maxie : please tell me you are not on the phone while you are driving to the airport . because with our luck , we 'll have to add car accident to the list of transcontinental disasters . nathan : actually , i 'm still at spinelli 's . [ sighs ] the kirkland plane took off 20 minutes ago ... without me on it . [ scene_break ] elizabeth : you and i said some things on christmas eve . jason : okay . hold on . mistletoe is like vegas . what happens there , it stays there . no . you do n't have to -- mnh - mnh . elizabeth : well , it did n't feel like that to me . we said we cared about each other , and then ric showed up . you -- you have to understand that i 'm -- i was very overwhelmed and caught up in the reunion . and maybe you think i regret what i said to you , but the only thing i regret is the timing . 'cause i do care about you . jason : hey , hey , um ... what i said on christmas -- i should n't have said those things . [ scene_break ] sam : when we kissed on christmas , did that mean anything to you ? patrick : did it mean anything to you ? sam : hey , i - i asked you first . patrick : i think we have something between us , and i would like to explore it . but if you do n't want to , i understand . sam : no , i do . i do . that 's the thing . but i 'm just scared because ... you are really important to me . patrick : and you to me . sam : you know , i tried to move on with silas , and that did n't work out . after i found out the truth about nina , it was too late . everything was done . and just -- you -- you were there for me throughout the whole thing . patrick : oh , yeah . i 've been the stand - up guy . sam : stop . i 'm being serious . if we pursue this , i just -- i do n't want to lose you as a friend . patrick : sam , i understand that . there is a chance that taking our relationship to the next level could ... mess things up a little bit . but there 's also a chance that it could ... get better . sam : [ chuckles ] okay , well , chemistry has certainly never been our problem . patrick : it does n't seem like we ruined anything , does it ? sam : no . not yet , at least . patrick : so , what do you say ? why do n't -- why do n't we just take things ... one step at a time ? sam : one step at a time , huh ? what does that mean ? patrick : well , it means that we , uh , start tonight . you got plans -- new year 's eve ? [ scene_break ] jason : you keep calling me jake . you do n't know if that 's my name . i do n't know if that 's my name . [ chuckles ] i do n't know anything about me . elizabeth : you know you can assemble a bike and rewire a light fixture . jason : i could have a family out there . i could wake up tomorrow , and i could remember everything about them . they could come find me . elizabeth : what if you never find them ? what if you never remember ? jason : whatever i did before , those commitments , they still apply . so it would be wrong of me to make a place in your life and your kids ' lives when , for all i know , i 'm not even free . [ scene_break ] maxie : oh , no . you missed your flight ? nathan : no , no , it 's okay . the jet 's gon na turn around for me . uh , with any luck , i will be back in port charles no later than 9 : 00 p.m . maxie : great ! i 'll see you at the airport . nathan : maxie , you do n't have to do that . maxie : nathan , we 've come so far . i 'm not gon na let a little traffic get in the way of seeing you at midnight , so just text me your flight details , and i 'll see you there . nathan : yes , ma'am . lulu : [ squeals ] it sounds like all the hopelessness has turned into fierce , unstoppable determination . maxie : this is actually gon na happen , lulu ! i 'm gon na see nathan at midnight . now , the dress is crucial . lulu : okay . maxie : okay . this one says , `` i 'm ready to have fun with you as soon as you get here . `` lulu : sassy without being trashy . maxie : okay . and this one says , `` i 'm ready for a quiet night as we take the next step . `` and this one is kind of a mixture of both , but it does n't go with the shoes he gave me , so ... lulu : [ chuckles ] maxie , relax . nathan is crossing the country two times in one day . all he wants is to be with you . maxie : yeah , but lulu , when i met nathan last new year 's eve , i opened the door to him , and i was at my lowest point , and he still wanted to get to know me . lulu : that is my point . why argue when we agree ? maxie : i 've just dragged him through so much drama that i really want to prove to him this year , i can be fun without the baggage . lulu : you know , maxie , the way nathan tells it , you were gorgeous the first time he saw you . maxie : he said that ? lulu : mm - hmm . it 's not gon na matter what you wear . you could show up in a burlap sack with a garbage bag as a sash , and he will still think that you are beautiful and fun with exactly the right amount of drama . maxie : he would ? lulu : i hate to break it to you , but i think nathan is in it for the long haul . maxie : lulu , that 's so sweet . but seriously , what about my dress ? lulu : the blue one , obvi . maxie : obvi . [ scene_break ] spinelli : i have to agree with maxie . getting a private plane to turn around -- that 's ... impressive . nathan : [ chuckles ] yeah , i told myself that i would never go to my mother for help . spinelli : it 's maxie . nathan : yeah . [ chuckles ] spinelli : [ chuckles ] nathan : i got it bad , huh ? spinelli : oh , pishposh . once upon a time , i had `` it `` worse than you . [ chuckles ] and for good reason . um , maxie 's incredible -- so full of energy and life , but also of the wrong - headed opinion that she is selfish when , in fact , nothing could be further from the truth . nathan : i know why i believe that , but why do you ? spinelli : well , no one who is truly selfish ... could make someone feel like the most important person in the world . nathan : [ chuckles ] spinelli : maxie literally changed me for the better . nathan : i can see how she has that effect on people . spinelli : and i never thought anybody else could make me feel that way until i meet ellie , and this -- this life that i have with ellie and georgie -- it was inconceivable before maxie . nathan : you know , i - i 've been with maxie through every step of this whole custody nightmare , and we 've -- she showed me pictures , and we did that video- chat thing , but ... i 've never actually met georgie in person . spinelli : would you like to ? [ scene_break ] dante : what 's the job ? congratulations . lulu -- she did n't mention anything about it to me . fluke : uh , well , it 's not official , yet , and i 'd rather you did n't mention anything to her . dante : she does n't know ? fluke : no , no . and i do n't want her to know until it 's a real deal . see , uh , tracy and i -- we have decided to start a business together . dante : that 's cool . what kind of business ? fluke : uh , derivatives . dante : derivatives of what ? fluke : i have no idea . [ both chuckle ] fluke : truly . you know , tracy 's the businesswoman . it was her idea . she knows that all i want is an ability to make a quick buck and to make her happy . dante : yeah , yeah . fluke : and tell you the truth , your brother banning her from elq has , uh , really come down hard on her . dante : [ sighs ] yeah , look , i - i have n't really talked to michael about that . i do n't know all the ins and outs . fluke : oh , no , no , no , no . dante , uh , i do n't want you to intervene . believe me , i 'd never ask you to do that . and , truth is , i ca n't blame michael . every time he looks at my face , he 's got to be thinking about that con man that tried to get the family business away from them . dante : yeah , but you know , mikey -- he 's a good kid . okay , it wo n't be long before he realizes that you are n't that guy . fluke : yeah , i hope so . [ scene_break ] anna : your inquiry ? that 's -- that 's interesting , 'cause i think i might have called it more of a witch hunt . [ chuckles ] agent sloane : well , call it whatever you want . it 's on hold . the whole case is under review . anna : you do n't say . agent sloane : seems my superior got a call from the head of the wsb and suddenly our ... history has become a topic of concern , and now [ chuckles ] i 'm being investigated for having a conflict of interest . anna : well , do n't you ? agent sloane : you want to talk about conflicts of interest ? how about the fact that the new head of the wsb just happens to be one of your oldest friends , frisco jones ? you go back further with him than you do with duke lavery , do n't you ? [ scene_break ] duke : why do n't you tell me what 's going on ? lucy : [ inhales deeply ] okay . scott actually asked me to spend new year 's eve with him . duke : well , congratulations . lucy : no ! not congratulations . it 's terrible . [ sighs ] duke : why ? is n't that exactly what you wanted ? lucy : yeah , it was . before he chose booby over me . duke : [ chuckles ] well , now he 's obviously back to choosing you , so win - win . lucy : no . lose - lose . the only reason he 's choosing me is because booby kicked him to the curb . look , i - i do n't want to be someone 's choice by default . i - i - i really want someone to feel they 're madly , madly in love with me , and they 're so blind that they do n't see any other options . i just -- [ sighs ] i 've just come way too far to be bobbie spencer 's sloppy seconds . duke : [ chuckles ] you make that sound like a special at kelly 's . [ laughs ] lucy : that is not funny ! duke : no , you 're right . but you have the chance to spend some time with scott baldwin . are you willing to give that up because -- because of a matter of pride ? [ scene_break ] julian : what the hell are you talking about , jordan ? jordan : i saw the way the wind was blowing . the jerome organization -- it 's crumbling , okay ? so by going against you , i proved my worth to shawn and to duke . julian : you 're lying . jordan : do you really want to risk it ? if you take me out , you will have declared war on duke 's organization . and this -- this whole -- whole cold war that keeps everything in balance will get very , very hot . so ... do you still think that you have to kill me ? do you want to shoot me dead ? [ scene_break ] lulu : [ gasps , claps ] oh ! when i 'm right , i 'm right . maxie : goes with the shoes , too , and that 's the most important thing . lulu : okay , so , nathan 's on his way , you 're dressed to the nines . when will you tell me about your week in portland ? maxie : oh , it was the best week of my life . i mean , i got to feed my daughter , change her , put her to sleep . sometimes those things were a challenge . lulu : i feel your pain . maxie : sometimes we would just do nothing at all , you know ? i 'd look at her face , and she 'd look at mine . we were really just getting to know each other . lulu : you did take her shopping , right ? maxie : of course , i did . i mean , georgie 's clothes are cute and adorable , but more in an `` i 'm being raised by a nerd `` sort of way . so , i , of course , had to supplement all the outfits i got her for christmas . lulu : of course . maxie : and then we went to the portland aquarium , and her face just lit up . you 'd be surprised by how much she can talk . i really think my daughter might be a genius . lulu : look at you . you sound like a mom . maxie : it 's because i 'm actually starting to feel like one . and i do n't know . maybe it 's a good thing that nathan and i got our signals crossed . lulu : why is that ? maxie : because now he has the chance to meet my daughter . [ scene_break ] nathan : i can not get over how much she looks like maxie . spinelli : yeah . it 's uncanny , is n't it ? nathan : hi , georgie . how you doing , baby ? spinelli : you know , you 're quite the natural . nathan : yeah , i guess -- i do n't know . i guess i 've always been good with kids . you know , i ca n't wait to have one of my own . spinelli : wait . one of your own ? are -- i had no idea you and maxie were that serious . nathan : oh , no , no , no . i do n't mean right now . spinelli : oh . nathan : i just -- you know , it 's just something that i want at some point in my life , when i 'm more prepared . spinelli : you know what ? we should probably head to the airstrip if you want to catch your flight , right ? nathan : yeah . hey , listen , thanks for giving me a ride . i really hope i 'm not ... keeping you and ellie from your plans . spinelli : oh , no , no , no . ellie and i will be together long before midnight . and if the gods , the fates , and the jet stream are all on your side , you will be with maxie , as well . [ scene_break ] agent sloane : you can pull all the strings you want to have my inquiry investigated . i have nothing to hide . but you -- you do , anna . and no matter how many friends you have in high places , you still broke the law . and i 'm gon na make sure you pay for that . anna : knock yourself out . [ scene_break ] lucy : i am going to take the high road . i am going to proceed with dignity . i 'm gon na go home and put on my little feetsie pajamas , and i 'm going to get all the chocolate i have and eat it . and then i 'm gon na have a lovely glass of wine . and then i 'm gon na watch ... [ sighs ] `` rockin ' eve . `` duke : you could do that . or else , you could spend new year 's with me . [ scene_break ] jordan : you shoot me , not only will you start a mob war with lavery , but you 're gon na destroy everything that you 're trying to build with the zaccharas . julian : no , you 've already done that , jordan . jordan : [ chuckles ] jordan : that dream that you have of running all three territories -- that will never happen . but you want to shoot me ? go ahead . i dare you . julian : lucky for you , i have more sense than my old boss . he already would have shot you halfway through your so - called intimidation speech . i 'm not gon na forget this , jordan . i 'll be seeing you around . [ door closes ] [ cell phone ringing ] anna : [ sighs ] this has been lovely , but , uh , duty calls . agent sloane : well , you 'll be hearing from me . [ ringing continues ] anna : lunch is on me . i insist . agent sloane : [ chuckles ] no , i could n't possibly accept a gift from the subject of my inquiry . imagine how that would look , hmm ? anna : [ chuckles ] yeah . what 's up ? jordan : we have a problem . [ scene_break ] jason : i 'm sorry . uh ... i should n't have let this go on as long as i did . elizabeth : do n't you dare apologize . okay , i accept the reasons you 're leaving . but i hope you know how much you mean to me and the boys . do n't you want to say goodbye to cameron and aiden ? jason : could you say goodbye for me ? elizabeth : but they 're gon na be home tomorrow . you should just stay . just for new year 's ?

[ clears throat ] marlena : what ? why ? did myers ask for that ? did he coerce you into saying that that would happen in exchange for anything else ? will : no -- marlena : if he did , i will turn him over to the board . will : no , no , grandma , it was not like that . i - i offered . marlena : why would you do that ? will : because sonny and i , we need to focus on the future . we need to figure out a way to stay married . marlena : and did ... did dr. myers promise that he could make that happen in exchange for the article ? will : not ... exactly . marlena : does sonny want to focus on the future ? will : he wants to stay married . he said it a hundred times . marlena : well , then , what are you worried about ? look , sonny ca n't be as upset about the article as he would about finding out about you and paul . will : no . marlena : [ sighs ] clearly , you want to talk to me . why do n't you just do that ? will : when sonny and i were arguing about the article , he kept pushing , and i blurted something . and sonny figured out that while i was in los angeles , i made another mistake . sonny : paul , i told you before , i 'm not gon na talk about what 's going on . paul : i know , this is n't ab -- sonny : this is n't about me and will ? paul : not exactly . okay , so , it 's more about me , okay ? and something that i figured out and i honestly think that this could help you and will . okay , okay , derrick -- you remember him , from the hotel ? sonny : of course . what a prince that guy is . do n't tell me he 's part of this . paul : no , no , it 's not like what you 're thinking . okay , um , i ran into him , and he and i started talking and he said something to me that really hit me . okay , sonny , just hear me out . lucas : you 're giving me paul ? what does that even mean ? kate : justin forced me to offer an endorsement deal to paul , making him the face of our new men 's line . now , i know countess wilhelmina is coming up with a similar men 's line . lucas : you know that how ? kate : do n't even start with me , okay ? they briefed me while i was still heading dimera . the point is , i think paul would be a better fit with your line than ours . lucas : why is that , mom ? why would n't he be a good fit for your line ? kate : because with mad world , paul will be based in salem . lucas : and if he works for countess wilhelmina , he 'll be based in san diego ... far away from will . kate : i mean , he wo n't be there that long . just for the extent of the campaign . but at least that would give sonny and will some time to work on their marriage without paul interfering . lucas : yeah , yeah , it 'd be great for countess - style brand , right ? it 's a win- win ? kate : yeah , yeah , it is . lucas : no dice . kate : [ scoffs ] lucas , what 's wrong ? lucas : well , first , you 're offering it . that 's what 's wrong . and even worse than that , i was actually considering it for a second . just for a second there , i was starting to think just like you . adrienne : this is just ... stunning ! [ laughs ] but why am i surprised ? you 're a lawyer . you can justify anything , right ? justin : i 'm telling the truth . i never intended to leave you over elsa . and i never meant to humiliate you . adrienne : oh . you just stayed away for months at a time . you think no one knew ? you think it was n't abundantly clear when you did n't make it home for a holiday , or a birthday , or anything ? justin : i e - mailed and called just like -- adrienne : oh , stop -- please , please , please ! if we 're gon na have this discussion , at least be honest . our son was stabbed , near death , and i could n't get you out of that woman 's bed to pick up the phone ! justin : i was on the first -- i was on the first flight out ! adrienne : yes , when you knew ! but where did you go after that ? when you got home , what did you do then ? justin : sonny went to arizona . adrienne : no , but i was here . i was here . the wife that you never wanted to humiliate . i was right here , justin ! justin : with lucas . adrienne : no , not yet . justin : he was around . i could smell it . and more to the point , he is still around . adrienne , i 'm home for good and look where you are ? you did everything but take out an ad in the newspaper . you wanted to punish me . well , you did it ! you wanted to humiliate me . you got it . but you only get to do that for so long . marlena : go on . will : oh , my god , grandma . you 're gon na make me spell it out ? marlena : i 'm funny that way . will : it was one guy . one time , one stupid time . studios , they assigned him to help me with the rewrite . we worked long hours , late nights . one night , we 're at his house and he 's making fun of me because i 'm already married with a kid , and i let it slip that sonny 's the only guy that i 've ever been with . that was it . he was on a mission . he just kept after me . he would n't leave it alone . marlena : did he force himself on you ? will : no , no , not like that . he just could n't believe that someone so young and hot and talented was already married . so obviously he was working me and i fell for it . marlena : it was one time ? will : yeah , it was only one time . and i avoided him after that . we just worked through e - mail . studio fired me right afterwards . i felt so relieved . like , `` at least this is over . it 's buried . `` marlena : did you think about telling sonny about it ? will : i mean , yeah , but , i thought , `` what good would that do ? `` it only happened once . i regretted it two seconds afterwards and it was n't going to happen again . marlena : it did . you came back to salem and you slept with paul . sonny : okay , what is it you came up with ? paul : okay , like i said ... this is more about will . sonny : i ca n't have you in the middle of this . paul : look , i 'm not , okay ? just listen . derrick and i were talking , and he asked me , you know , how coming out was for me . and he asked me how it was going . and then he said that he was surprised that you and will had already settled down together . he said that he could never do that right after coming out , and i realized ... he was right . i could n't either . and i was so surprised because -- i love you , sonny , and i want to be with you , but i realize , even if you were free , i could n't get married . i mean , not yet . and i started thinking about how focused i 've been on you and getting you back and i asked myself , `` why ? `` and it 's because it was easier than dealing with coming out and everything that 's about . sonny : so , you think this is true for will , too ? like he skipped a step ? theo : abigail has to come ! it 's me , chad , and abigail ! she has to , she has to ! abigail : hey , hey , theo ? theo , look at me . come here , look at me over here . look in my eyes , okay ? listen to me . i will go with you to the lake , okay ? i will be there , do n't you worry . theo : you promise ? abigail : i promise . all right ? you feel better now ? okay , can we take a deep breath ?

[ laughs ] well , it is . seriously , can you imagine if those two thugs took each other out ? they 'd be doing the public a great service . clyde : now , the way i see it , you and victor have business interests that are , um ... more international . that 's where each of you have put your attention , which is fine , but it made a vacuum here in salem . my business is more local . i 'm very service oriented , so i have expanded here and i will continue to expand in this local market , and there should n't be ... stefano : in the study , now ! clyde : any problem around that . but if there is , i will resolve it , as to your friend victor can tell you . one more thing ... i 'm seeing kate roberts . there should n't be any hard feelings about that . i hear that you have moved on , as well , several times . so i hope that , uh , you wish us well . stefano : escort this man out . clyde : wait just a second . i 've said my piece , but i came here to listen , as well . whatever you wan na tell me -- stefano : i 've learned everything i have to know about you . get out , now . clyde : easy , big boy . i know the way out . lucas : you almost did it . you almost got me . good job , mom . kate : lucas , we 'll be helping will . lucas : we will be interfering in his life . kate : for his own good . lucas : oh , there 's my mom that i know and love . there you are . nice to see you , again , mom . kate : yeah , that 's right . i am you 're mother and i care about my grandson just as much as i 've always cared about you . lucas : yeah , you tried to run my life , too . kate : sometimes , a parent has to step up . the way you went to prison to protect will , remember that ? lucas : yeah , i remember that . he was young and i did that to protect him , yes . but will is a grown man , now , and he needs to work on his marriage all by himself without anyone butting in . kate : okay , fine . i agree to that , if everyone backs off . but justin pushed this job on paul to keep paul in salem , okay ? he is actively inserting himself between sonny and will . and why do you think he 's doing that , lucas ? lucas : i do n't know . i 'm not gon na start a fight with justin , okay ? i 'm not gon na do that through our sons . kate : yeah , well , justin does n't have that problem . lucas : i 'm not gon na do it . i 'm not going to waste my time wading in on this . kate : no , except you already waded in adrienne , right ? lucas : well there it is . it was a matter of time with you , huh ? you had to cross the line ? well , you did . good luck with your schemes . you know what ? i hope your boss does n't find out about what you 're doing . hope : not exactly the kind of comment we issue from the salem pd . rafe : well , no , no . not out loud . hope : mm . rafe : oh , but trust me . can you imagine if we got a 189 from the dimera mansion right now ? hope : no , personally , i do n't give a damn what stefano and clyde do to each other . it 's the collateral damage . rafe : you 're worried about chad . hope : and abigail . and ben . rafe : did you know that abigail is moving in with ben ? hope : what , really ? rafe : yeah , do n't worry though . he 's a good kid . it just means that she 's gon na be closer to clyde . hope : keep a look out , okay ? informally . you know who else might be very interested in hearing about this little sit - down ? rafe : victor . hope : mm - hmm . rafe : did n't he bite your head off once before for bringing up something like this ? hope : what ? i 'd just be passing on some news that came to me in the course of the salem pd 's routine , lifetime surveillance of all things dimera . no harm in that , right ? rafe : right , no . i guess not . you text me if you need back - up . hope : will do ... partner . kate : god , i could use a double shot of ... paul : [ exhales ] i know will loves you . i do n't doubt that for a minute . sonny : neither do i . paul : it 's just , maybe ... when i just met will , he talked about marrying the first guy he 'd ever been with , and that sounded great , but maybe ... i do n't know , um ... after today , really realizing how it is for me , um ... i guess i kind of get will . not the crummy things that he 's done to try and keep us apart , but ... but what happened between him and me . and i 'm not trying to bring that up -- sonny : no , you do n't have to explain it . i get it . paul : do you ? sonny : i got to get back to work . paul : okay . sonny : i 'll be at home . if there 's an emergency only . sure , everything okay ? sonny : not really . will : so i 'm a slut . i ca n't stay faithful to my husband . that 's what you 're saying , is n't it ? marlena : i 'm not judging you . i 'm stating a fact . you came back from l.a. and thought you 'd had a one - time thing . and then , you slept with somebody else . you need to talk to somebody about this . will : i 'm talking to sonny now . marlena : that 's not what i meant . i meant you need to talk to somebody about this pattern . will : it 's ... it 's not a pattern . it was a mistake both times . i know that now . [ cell phone ringing ] will : i ... [ clears throat ] sonny 's on his way home . marlena : okay . i 'm gon na go . i want to make a suggestion before i do . when sonny gets here , you stay calm and listen to everything he has to say before you react . will : thank you . i love you , grandma . marlena : oh , i love you , too . abigail : i did n't lie . i will go to the lake with the two of you . chad : really ? abigail : yeah . and you know what ? i 'm sure , um , that ben would love to join us because he and theo actually really get along and it would be great . chad : well , we 'll just be one hell of a quartet , then . abigail : how do you do that ? chad : i have an agile mind . something you have n't seen much of these days , but -- abigail : you 're -- you 're so sweet with him and you are compassionate and kind , and then you 're this : cruel . chad : payback 's a bitch . abigail : it really was -- it was all a plan , was n't it ? you came back into town and you were working me from the second you got here . the whole time , you had it in your mind that you were just going to use me -- chad : now , now , we both got what we wanted . abigail : i did n't want that . chad : which time ? come on , abi . you got one last time with a guy that can actually finish sentences . abigail : oh , please . chad : and anything else he starts . so , now you can go play house with ben and i can move on with ... other women . abigail : plural ? chad : it 's been more singular these days . abigail : zoe ? chad : oh , she is hot in ways that you will never get . you should see the things that we do in bed -- abigail : you 're disgusting , chad . what 's the special ? justin : stefano is meeting with clyde weston ? hope : that 's right . as we speak . justin : and why do you want me to pass this on to victor ? hope : he 'll know . please make sure he understands i was n't telling weston . it came up in routine surveillance of stefano . justin : i 'll let him know . hope : thank you . i 'll see you later , justin . hey ... how are things with you ? justin : you mean with me and adrienne ? hope : please tell me if it 's none of my business , but i just -- i want you to know how sorry i am about you two . justin : so , it looks like adrienne and i are headed down the same road as you and bo . hope : adrienne wants a divorce ?

lucas : yeah , i remember that . he was young and i did that to protect him , yes . but will is a grown man , now , and he needs to work on his marriage all by himself without anyone butting in . kate : okay , fine . i agree to that , if everyone backs off . but justin pushed this job on paul to keep paul in salem , okay ?

thorne : well , we were in paris . did n't take us long to reconnect . but we 've kept it under wraps . brooke : because of aly ? thorne : yep . and as things progressed , we knew she , uh , needed to be told . brooke : so , how did it end ? i mean , were you able to reason with her ? thorne : ha . no . there was no reasoning , not about this . she felt betrayed . she even threw darla 's name into it and said that her mother would never approve , and neither would she . brooke : oh , thorne . thorne : so that 's why i had to back away before she just completely lost it . brooke : back away ? thorne : i ca n't hurt my daughter anymore , brooke . she 's too fragile . i ... i broke it off with taylor . taylor : i wish i could tell you how to forgive me , aly . i 've told you many times over the years how sorry i am for my part in your mother 's death . and i do n't believe in living with regret . but i do . when i think about that day ... and i 'll regret it for the rest of my life . aly : why did you do it ? why did you drive when you had been drinking ? you 're a doctor , a psychiatrist . you 're supposed to be responsible . taylor : my daughter . she was out in malibu , and she had a flat tire , and she called me . i just wanted to rush to help her . aly : no , i know the story . why could n't you have called someone else ? taylor : i should have , but as a mother , getting a call from my child when she was in a dangerous situation , i wanted to just get there . that 's all i could think about was getting to phoebe ! i was n't thinking clearly . aly : no , no , you were n't . and now my mother 's dead . can you understand why i ca n't accept you with my father ?

bill : how am i gon na do that if i 'm living with brooke ? ridge : stop living with brooke . it 's simple . bill : ah . now i see . it 's not about r.j. you want me to stay away from brooke . ridge : honestly ... bill : mm - hmm ?

ridge : no . that i do n't want my ex involved with you . and katie obviously understands why . bill : well , i hate to be the , uh , bearer of bad news , my arrogant friend , but you and me , we 're , you know , almost like -- like family . well , actually , you know , we will be family once i marry brooke , which is just a matter of time . brooke : you 're ending it with taylor ? thorne : already have . she 's heading back to paris tonight . brooke : [ sighs ] i 'm sorry . thorne : yeah , well , it needed to be done . i mean , the look in my daughter 's eyes when she heard about us ... i thought she was ready , brooke . i was hoping she was , but she 's not . brooke : so , when do you go back ? thorne : i 'm not . brooke : but you 're the head of forrester international . thorne : not for long . brooke : are you resigning ? thorne : i need to be here for aly . brooke : thorne , you love that job ! thorne : not as much as i love her . and she needs me here , and i 'm going to be here for her . brooke : you can always take aly with you to paris . thorne : taylor 's in paris . it 's another reason why i ca n't be there . we ca n't live in the same city , especially paris . it ...

[ telephone rings ] taylor : ... and your mother answered . darla : hello ? taylor : [ voice breaking ] and she told her that she wanted her to wait right there , she was on her way . and your mother got to phoebe 's car before i did . darla : phoebe ! taylor : phoebe wanted to wait . she wanted to have the service station come out and change the tire . aly : but my mom was n't about to call someone to change a flat tire . that was my mom . taylor : so she started changing the tire herself . aly : on a busy highway in the dark . taylor : and it was foggy . i could barely see in front of me . i was only thinking about my daughter , and i wanted to get to her , and ... i knew i should n't be driving .

i mean , were you able to reason with her ? thorne : ha . no . there was no reasoning , not about this . she felt betrayed . she even threw darla 's name into it and said that her mother would never approve , and neither would she . brooke : oh , thorne . thorne : so that 's why i had to back away before she just completely lost it . brooke : back away ? thorne : i ca n't hurt my daughter anymore , brooke . she 's too fragile . i ... i broke it off with taylor . taylor : i wish i could tell you how to forgive me , aly . i 've told you many times over the years how sorry i am for my part in your mother 's death . and i do n't believe in living with regret . but i do . when i think about that day ... and i 'll regret it for the rest of my life . aly : why did you do it ? why did you drive when you had been drinking ? you 're a doctor , a psychiatrist . you 're supposed to be responsible . taylor : my daughter . she was out in malibu , and she had a flat tire , and she called me . i just wanted to rush to help her . aly : no , i know the story . why could n't you have called someone else ? taylor : i should have , but as a mother , getting a call from my child when she was in a dangerous situation , i wanted to just get there . that 's all i could think about was getting to phoebe ! i was n't thinking clearly . aly : no , no , you were n't . and now my mother 's dead . can you understand why i ca n't accept you with my father ? does that even resonate with you at all ? taylor : yes . that 's why i 'm going to paris . oliver : what about your dad ? aly : what about him ? oliver : he forgave taylor . aly : that i do n't get . oliver : eventually he even wanted to marry her . aly : that i do n't even want to think about . taylor : he forgave me , but it does n't lessen my guilt . the anguish , the utter regret will never leave me . the only reason i was able to go on with my life is because he forgave me . but that also helped him recover so he could be there for you . because he was able to let go of all that anger , he was able to move forward and he was able to be there for you and he was able to help you ... as much as he possibly could ! bill : so , you 're asking the impossible . you do -- you do realize that . ridge : stay away from r.j. why is that so impossible ? bill : how am i gon na do that if i 'm living with brooke ? ridge : stop living with brooke . it 's simple . bill : ah . now i see . it 's not about r.j. you want me to stay away from brooke . ridge : honestly ... bill : mm - hmm ? ridge : ... i would love for you to stay away from both of them . bill : all right , well , listen , i 'm gon na give you a little advice , okay ? i 'm gon na be a bro . you might want to keep that quiet around katie . i 'm telling you , she 's not going to appreciate it . ridge : katie knows how i feel . bill : that you do n't want your ex involved with another man ? ridge : no . that i do n't want my ex involved with you . and katie obviously understands why . bill : well , i hate to be the , uh , bearer of bad news , my arrogant friend , but you and me , we 're , you know , almost like -- like family . well , actually , you know , we will be family once i marry brooke , which is just a matter of time . brooke : you 're ending it with taylor ? thorne : already have . she 's heading back to paris tonight . brooke : [ sighs ] i 'm sorry . thorne : yeah , well , it needed to be done . i mean , the look in my daughter 's eyes when she heard about us ... i thought she was ready , brooke . i was hoping she was , but she 's not . brooke : so , when do you go back ? thorne : i 'm not . brooke : but you 're the head of forrester international . thorne : not for long . brooke : are you resigning ? thorne : i need to be here for aly . brooke : thorne , you love that job ! thorne : not as much as i love her . and she needs me here , and i 'm going to be here for her . brooke : you can always take aly with you to paris . thorne : taylor 's in paris . it 's another reason why i ca n't be there . we ca n't live in the same city , especially paris . it ... [ sighs ] meant too much to us . taylor : aly , before i go ... i want you to know that there is n't a day that goes by that i do n't think about what happened , what i did to your mother ... and your father ... and especially you . [ voice breaking ] if there 's ever anything i can do for you , you let me know . aly : there is something else . tell me about what happened . taylor : what do you want to know ? aly : [ sniffles ] tell me about that night on the road in malibu . taylor : like i said , phoebe called because she had a flat tire . the weather was getting bad , and malibu was fogged in . taylor : phoebe ! answer me ! taylor : i told her to wait right there , that i was on my way . it was the night of your birthday party out at the beach house . aly : i remember . mom and dad were there , grandma and grandpa , grandma sally , everyone . taylor : phoebe was stuck on the highway maybe just a few miles from that house . after she talked to me , she called the house ... [ telephone rings ] taylor : ... and your mother answered . darla : hello ? taylor : [ voice breaking ] and she told her that she wanted her to wait right there , she was on her way . and your mother got to phoebe 's car before i did . darla : phoebe ! taylor : phoebe wanted to wait . she wanted to have the service station come out and change the tire . aly : but my mom was n't about to call someone to change a flat tire . that was my mom . taylor : so she started changing the tire herself . aly : on a busy highway in the dark . taylor : and it was foggy . i could barely see in front of me . i was only thinking about my daughter , and i wanted to get to her , and ... i knew i should n't be driving . [ sobbing ] darla slipped , and she fell while she was changing the tire ... [ tires screech ] taylor : ... right as i was approaching . i could n't stop . it happened so fast . i 'm sorry . aly : [ sobs ] taylor : i 'm sorry ! i am so sorry , honey ! aly : [ sobbing ] brooke : you really were in love with her . thorne : yeah . we had something . brooke : how 's taylor taking it ? thorne : uh , pretty much like me . brooke : she 's not blaming aly , is she ? thorne : no , aly 's the victim , not us . it 's a sacrifice , brooke . the job , the relationship -- none of it matters if my daughter is in pain , and she is in pain . brooke : i know , but , thorne , it was so long ago . thorne : i know , but ... [ sighs ] the night that darla died , so did aly . and , brooke , she 's , um ... she 's never been the same . and she has never forgiven taylor . taylor : i do n't blame you for feeling the way you do . i ca n't forgive myself . i ca n't expect you to forgive me . aly : we were all so happy together . taylor : i know . i know . aly : my dad , he loved her so much . taylor : your mother was very special . aly : she was a saint . a saint of a woman . and then she was gone . oliver : so tragic ... for all of you . aly : obviously i never got over it . oliver : somehow you have to . you all do . aly : dad was my rock . i do n't know how i would have gotten through all those years if he had been as messed up as i was . oliver : how do you think he got through them ? like you said , your father loved your mother . i 'm sure he grieved terribly when she was gone , but he had to be strong for you . he had to grieve , and then he had to move on . who helped him do that ? aly : it was n't me . oliver : you were too young to help your father . he needed someone else . i 'm sure you would n't have wanted your father to be so sad and heartbroken the rest of his life . aly : no . that would have been worse . you helped him . taylor : i tried . aly : the woman who killed my mother ... you gave my father back his life . i miss her so much . taylor : i know . i know . i 'm sorry . i 'm sorry . aly : [ sobbing ] [ sniffles ] ridge : you getting married to brooke ? well , that 's not gon na happen . it ca n't happen . i ca n't have you around my son . i just told you that . bill : well , that 's not your call . i 'm going to be there . r.j. 's going to be there . we 're gon na be hanging out , all right ? i 'm gon na teach him to ride motorcycles , fly a hot - air balloon . come on ! you know that 's cool . he 's a boy , and he 's a great boy . he 's gon na love it . you got to lighten up , grumpy . why -- why do n't you go , uh , sketch a new dress or something ? maybe that 'll make you feel better . you think i want you hanging around my kid ? i do n't . but i am choosing to trust katie . and you need to choose to trust brooke . ridge : my trust in brooke and her judgment went out the window the moment she took up with you . bill : well , get over it , all right ? you 're obsessing . god , i am surrounded by that lately . whether you like it or not , our paths are gon na cross , okay ? brooke is going to be with a man who is 100 % devoted to her . we are getting married . committed , no waffling . she is going to be my wife . brooke will never again be your logan .Summarize.[/INST]with ollie by her side , aly asks taylor how can she can do it ; how can she forgive her for killing her mother . she 's not saying she can or ever will , but just how . ollie says that aly needs to forgive so she can move on , but she does n't know how . taylor tells ollie that he is a good friend . he says he just wants aly at peace . aly is n't sure that is possible since again she blames taylor for killing her mother . people call it an accident but driving while you are drunk is not an accident . taylor agrees that it is not . she cries it was a horrible mistake . brooke runs into thorne and is surprised to see him back in town . she makes sure that he hears the news of her and bill and katie and ridge . when it turns to children , he says he is learning first hand the hard way . she asks if his trip has anything to do with aly . he confides that he did not come here alone . taylor came with him . they have been seeing each other again . aly did not know and that is why they came here to tell her . brooke assumes that did not go well . thorne confesses no , there is no reasoning about this . aly felt betrayed . she even threw darla 's name into it that she would not approve and neither will aly . so he had to back away before she completely lost it . his daughter is too fragile so he had to break it off with taylor . bill clears his calendar and tells his secretary not to schedule anything for three hours , but .. ridge slips in the door . bill is agitated at seeing him . he quips if ridge is selling gowns door to door . he will have to pass . he will congratulate him on being engaged to katie . he did n't exactly kick up his heels but he does want katie to be happy , so if ridge is it cheers . ridge says he appreciates that and he wishes he could say the same about bill and brooke . bill says he feels some separation anxiety . ridge says no , not on his part . bill admits that is what he likes about ridge .he does n't leave home without his ego . but he 's got news for ridge that brooke is over him by light years . he leans in and whispers to bill that he and brooke have something they never experienced . it 's called loyalty . she knows he is not going to go running off to paris over some freaking text message . he knows how to hold onto her . he 's learning and enjoying the process . ridge tells him to enjoy it while he can . ridge says getting with lawyers has n't been ruled out . it would not take long to overturn this . bill tells him to help himself to a little espresso and think about what he is saying . he does not want to go there . that 's right in his wheelhouse . he loves a good battle , especially one in which he knows he will win . and they both know katie was not happy here . it was just something for her to focus on . strange that it is , she is happier now . ridge quips yes now that she is rid of bill . bill says she wo n't be if she drags him into court . ridge says good point as she does want him out of her life . bill says wish granted . they discuss children and how that can not be avoided that they will be in each other 's lives . ridge says there has to be as he can not have him anywhere near his son .</s> | 4,285 |

[ sarah chuckles ] sarah : unfortunately , i keep up on my celebrity gossip . but i did n't recognize him -- he looks much dorkier in person . rex : adriana owns the underwear company he models for . sarah : oh . so , he saw her undies and decided he liked them ? rex : oh -- not quite . close enough . sarah : well , he 's a loser . you 're much cuter than he is . rex : thanks . sarah : and i know you do n't wear headgear . rex : what ? sarah : headgear -- i know these things . see how his upper lip protrudes a little ? overbite . rex : yeah , whatever . sarah : rex ? rex : what ? sarah : your teeth are ok . rex : thanks -- i think . natalie : are you strong enough to do this right now ? jessica : marrying nash is going to give me the strength that i need to fight this . i love him so much . natalie : i can see that . jessica : mm - hmm . natalie , i need you to fight with me . i -- i do n't want you to try to talk me out of this , ok ? natalie : i would n't dream of it . jessica : ok . natalie : i could n't be happier for you . jessica : ok , well , then i have more good news for you . natalie : really ? jessica : yeah . you 're not going to have to wear a bridesmaid dress . [ jessica chuckles ] david : well , let 's see . um -- i guess i can live on one . a lot of people do , right ? paige : that 's your kidneys . no , you only have one liver , so we would just be taking part of your liver -- the right lobe , and transplanting it into jessica . david : just one liver , huh ? but just part of it ? paige : right , just the right lobe . david : just the right lobe of my liver ? well , i tend to only use the left lobe , so -- ok . viki : oh , david . i will never , ever , ever forget this . david : neither will i . dorian : david , this is extraordinary , really generous and brave of you . why , you ca n't even stand the sight of a needle and here you are volunteering to have major invasive surgery . david : you had to use the words `` invasive `` and `` major , `` did n't you ? paige : so let 's get you ready . we 're going to have to do some tests , we 're going to draw some blood , and we 'll get you prepped . david : right now ? paige : yes , david , right now . david : i thought we were talking about the near to distant future . viki : no . no , jessica 's body is rejecting the first transplant . this has to be done immediately . paige : or by tomorrow at the latest . david : why not right now ? i 'm sure clint has a buck knife in his boot . paige : oh . viki : oh . well , we should tell jessica . clint : we have wonderful news . jessica : so do i . miles : you have no right to open my trunk . john : we do n't ? he says we do n't have the right . miles : you need a warrant . i 'm not going to let you search my car . terry : hey , friend , we do n't need a warrant . suspicious behavior gives us probable cause . john : and this is n't your car . give the keys to your car . spencer : you 're only making things worse , miles . you really do n't have a choice , you know ? john : what the hell is that ? cole : all that stuff tonight with blair just makes me really suspicious , mom . marty : yes , it was strange , to say the least . cole : i think miles has something to do with todd 's disappearance . i mean , why else would that hunter guy have given blair our address ? marty : i -- i do n't know . i mean , maybe he just wanted to cause more trouble between me and blair . cole : well , that does n't make sense . why would he care ? marty : look , i do n't know . i do n't know what it is i am supposed to tell you . cole : well , you start by telling me what you 're not telling me . terry : what is that ? miles : it 's a suit bag . i needed my suit cleaned . is that a big deal ? john : open it . [ miles sighs ] terry : step away from the car , please . spencer : good thing you got rid of manning 's body when i told you to , huh ? miles : so what are you looking for ? john : you know a guy named hunter atwood ? spencer : easy , miles . johnny boy 's only fishing . miles : should i ? john : answer the question . miles : no , i 've never heard of him . who is he ? john : he 's been telling people manning 's being held at your address . miles : why would he say something like that ? john : you tell me . spencer : for the money . the double - crossing s.o.b . miles : i told you , i do n't know hunter whatever . i do n't know him . and i do n't know why he would do something like this . but i do know that you 're not going to take my word for it . spencer : do n't piss him off . [ car trunk closes ] terry : nothing in here , man . miles : of course there 's nothing in there . john : cuff him . we 're taking him down to the station . miles : oh , come on . this is harassment . john : shut up ! turn around , put your hands behind your back , or we 'll tack on resisting arrest . spencer : i told you . did n't i tell you , huh , not to piss him off ? sarah : crap . rex : no , some of the food 's really good . sarah : no -- my uncle bo is here . rex : that 's cool . sarah : no , it 's not . the last thing i want to be worrying about right now is family . rex : bo 's cool . he wo n't tell anybody he saw you if you ask him . sarah : no way . is there a back door to this place ? rex : yeah , it 's just past the restrooms . sarah : give me your keys . i 'll meet you back at your place . rex : i think you 're being kind of paranoid . sarah : yeah , whatever . keys . oh , bring me back a tomato soup , and a cuban -- hold the meat . bo : your dad sent word that he wanted to talk to me . tate : did you ? bo : no . tate : ahem -- are you going to ? bo : just before i left the station , the warden called back . tate , i 'm sorry , but there 's -- there 's really no easy way to have to say this , but the warden told me that your father 's been killed . clint : you have good news ? jessica : nash and i are getting married . viki : oh -- clint : honey , that 's wonderful . and we 're going to throw you the best wedding llanview 's seen ever , as soon as we get you back on your feet . viki : and that 's our news . darling , you 're getting a new liver . natalie : oh , my gosh , jessica , this is a perfect day ! jessica : no , mom , i 'm not going to let you do that . viki : it 's not me , sweetheart . i mean , believe me , i would do it if they would let me , but they wo n't , so -- it 's not me . clint : it 's david vickers . viki : they 're prepping him right now . jessica : oh . oh , my god . i have to tell nash . does he know ? nash : i heard . dorian told me . that 's fantastic . it 's beautiful . it 's wonderful . natalie : is n't it amazing ? nash : did i leave out `` amazing `` ? natalie : what are you doing back here so soon ? nash : i -- i -- i got the priest . but then i realized i -- i did n't have a marriage license , so i came running back . i thought maybe that one of the two of you would know how to get a marriage license quickly . clint : nash , nash , now there 's really not that much of a hurry . nash : oh , yes , there is . i want to get married today , before the surgery . bo : they questioned everyone . but you can imagine just how honest the inmates are about something like this . tate : did they say who killed him ? bo : yeah , they know . but the guy who stabbed him says it was self - defense , naturally . adriana : was it a racial thing ? bo : no . the inmate that stabbed him was white . adriana : does this make any sense ? tate : just -- just because the guy was white does n't mean that it was somebody from his brotherhood or whatever . i mean , it could have been for any number of reasons . bo : actually , the killer was a skinhead . tate , look , again , i 'm sorry . i wanted you to know about this before it broke in the news . tate : thank you . i appreciate that . how do i go about claiming the body ? [ john whistles ] talia : what have you got here , lieutenant ? john : oh , just another jerk driving without his license . miles : i have a license . i do n't have it with me . ugh . thank you . talia : well , driving without a license ? really ? john : really . miles : you know , if you 're going to arrest me , i 'd like to speak to my lawyer . if there 's ever a harassment case , you know this is it . john : you think you 're smart , you 're not . i 'm going to find out what you 're hiding . i 'm going to find out what you know about todd manning and why he 's still missing . miles : does that mean i can go ? john : have the lab check out dr. saybrooke 's car , will you ? check for prints , trace evidence . and then have a couple units take it back to her . i 'll drive this slug home . talia : gotcha . john : and , go ahead and give him that ticket for driving without his license . spencer : see ? told you everything would be all right . viki : i do n't understand . why the rush ? i mean , there 'll be plenty of time later , when jessie can at least walk . nash : i am not waiting another day . i am marrying your daughter today . jessica : are you sure you do n't want to wait and get married barefoot on the beach -- nash : no . jessica : at sunset , like we talked about ? nash : no -- yes , i 'm -- i 'm sure . i want to marry you , and that 's what this is about . it does n't matter where we are . we could be on the most beautiful beach in the world with the most stunning sunset , and all i 'd be able to see is you . i would be as lost in those eyes as i am right now . it does n't matter if we have turquoise waters and palm trees , or dirty white walls and beeping machines . all that matters is that it 's you . jessica : i love you . nash : i love you . i 'm sorry about you guys missing your big buchanan party , but , hey , there 'll be plenty of time to throw a big reception once jessica 's back on her feet , right ? viki : yeah -- uh -- i -- i think right now , every -- we need to tone down all this excitement , ok ? i think we have to give her a little quiet , ok ? nash : sure . do you mind if natalie and i stay with jessica ? jessica : no , not at all . clint : viki -- viki : what ? clint : you know a judge , do n't you ? viki : yes , i -- i do . let me call him and see if he can arrange for a license . clint : ok . dorian : license ? clint : yeah . a marriage license . jessica and nash want to get married and they want to do it before the surgery . dorian : oh . oh , well , that 's wonderful , and i am so glad there is going to be another surgery . after all , i was the one who insisted that david get tested . clint : yeah . and we 'll always be grateful to you for that . dorian : mm - hmm . clint : and now , i 'm going to go and tell david how grateful i am to him . excuse me . dorian : i 'm sure he 'll appreciate that . paige : so try to relax while i get these down to the lab . david : last time i gave blood , they gave me a cookie . paige : when this is over -- [ knock on door ] paige : i will bake you a whole batch . hi . clint : paige -- is it all right if i have a word ? paige : of course . clint : thanks . david , we 've had our share of differences , i know . i 'm grateful that you 're able to put them aside so that you can help jessie . and if there 's anything that i can do for you , you just let me know . david : actually , clint , there is something . you can give me the $ 10 million your father promised me . bo : because of the circumstances , there 'll be an investigation and an autopsy . and then i 'll help you make the arrangements after they release the body . adriana : is there anything i can do ? tate : no . i -- i do n't think so -- i do n't know . i got to get some fresh air . adriana : excuse me . rex : he wants to be alone , adriana . adriana : you 're wrong . that 's the last thing he needs right now . jessica : what if -- what if my body rejects this liver , too ? nash : it wo n't . jessica : it rejected the first one . nash : yeah , but the odds are really , really good for this one . jessica : huh -- you do n't know that . nash : well , then i 'll find out what the odds are . jessica : what if they 're bad ? nash : i 'll lie . natalie : jessica , i think you 're jumping the gun just a little bit here . i mean , look , you 're getting a brand - new liver , you 're marrying a wonderful , wonderful man . i mean , this day started out pretty lousy , and it 's turned out to be pretty darn good . jessica : listen to you . you 've always been such a pessimist . natalie : well , you 've always been such an optimist . nash : and i am such a realist , and the reality is that i am marrying the girl i love . viki : oh . dorian : oh , any luck with the marriage license ? viki : well , i spoke to judge burrows , and he said that he would be happy to help , but unfortunately , he does n't think he can get one until -- where 's clint ? dorian : oh , he went in to thank david . viki : oh , dorian , i 'm so grateful to david . [ viki gasps ] dorian : well , i 'm the one who insisted that he be tested . viki : yes . and for that , i am very grateful to you . thank you . thank you so much . dorian : you 're quite welcome . it 's so fortunate that you and david became so close just in time for him to give up a part of his body to save your daughter . viki : it 's a very selfless and generous thing that he 's doing . and if it is due to our new `` friendship `` -- oh , my goodness , the timing could n't have been more fortuitous . and once again , i thank you . i thank you from the bottom of my heart , dorian , for whatever it was you did that made him so angry that he begged to move in with me . clint : we have been over this . david : well , maybe we should go over it again . asa owes me $ 10 million , and unless i get it , the right lobe of my liver stays exactly where it is . clint : you 're a heartless bastard . david : correction -- a greedy bastard . there is a difference . clint : i thought lately , you were a great friend of viki . that 's going to be over once she hears about this . david : viki 's not going to hear about this . no one is going to hear about this , or the deal is off . once you pay me and i 'm gone , tell anyone you like . clint : how do you want the money transferred ? marty : i do n't want to keep going around and around about this with you , ok ? i 'm not keeping anything from you . i do n't know why you think i am . cole : you 've just been real edgy . marty : well , blair barges in here , practically accuses me of kidnapping todd . is that it ? is that what you think i 've done ? cole : no , of course not . marty : then please -- sweetie , please , do n't look for trouble where there is n't any . ok ? cole : ok . john : well , this guy had your car , but there was no sign of manning . miles : and why is everyone looking at me to find todd ? john : because you sent him to chicago to look for his son . miles : spencer told me to do that . i -- i was only the messenger . i mean , if it was a trap , he used me to set it up . maybe -- maybe he used my trust and friendship to get revenge . i mean , that 's the kind of guy spencer was , right ? marty : that 's exactly the kind of guy spencer was . miles : then you believe me that i had nothing to do with todd disappearing ? marty : all i know is that todd was n't here . john : then why did this guy , hunter , tell blair that he was ? tate : when the o.p.p . said that they were going to take care of things , they did n't say they were going to kill my father ! no . no , he -- he pled guilty for everything that i did . he was n't going to tell buchanan anything ! no , you know that i am loyal to the organization , but that was my father . no . i do n't want his death to be for nothing . i 'll do what i 'm supposed to do . adriana : hey . i did n't think that you should be alone . tate : we used to come here a lot when i was a kid . me and my dad . we would -- he 'd push me on that swing over there . and when i was big enough , he 'd bring me out here to play catch . we played it all the time . yeah . sometimes we 'd be out here for hours , you know , and he 'd have stuff to do , but he 'd always say `` ah , it can wait . `` he was -- he was a great guy . he was a great dad . and , you know , i know we went our separate paths , but -- he was my father , and i loved him . and i 'm going to miss him . bo : i did n't like kirk harmon , and i sure did n't like what he believed in , but it does n't make it any easier to break news like that . rex : is it bugging you that he was killed by a white dude ? bo : the white dude that killed him was a supremacist . so yeah , it bugs me . rex : you think they were trying to keep him quiet ? bo : maybe . maybe harmon was ready to cut a deal , start naming names . or maybe -- a name . rex : you do n't think it 'd be anybody we know ? do you ? tate : it 's not right . adriana : at least they caught the guy who did it . tate : yeah , but the guy 's in prison . and he -- and he said it was self- defense . so what 's -- what 's going to happen to him ? maybe a month in solitary ? my father did not deserve to die . it should n't have happened ! i just do n't understand why some people who do n't deserve it die , and the other people who -- who do deserve it , they just never have to pay . adriana : they will pay , either in this life or the next . tate : you think so ? adriana : i know so . and even though your father did some horrible things , he was still your father . and it 's all right for a son to mourn the loss of his father . no matter how bad he was , no one will judge you for that . you 're just a son who loved his dad . miles : look , i do n't know what this hunter guy was thinking . you know , maybe -- maybe he tied me in with todd 's deal so you would waste your time chasing after me instead of him . john : hmm . well , when we catch him -- and we will -- we 'll ask him why he sent blair here . miles : i hope you do . i hope you catch him , because that may be the only opportunity i have to prove my innocence . john : laurence , i would n't leave town till you get that ticket taken care of . miles : hmm . cole : what 'd you do with todd ? miles : he 's being taken care of . listen , cole , thanks for keeping our little secret . cole : i 'm just protecting my mom . miles : so am i , son . paige : i 'm going to schedule a room , put a team together so we can operate as soon as possible . viki : great , great . david : well , i was kind of hoping to take my liver out for one last spin , but i guess you 'll have to do it for me . viki : oh , david -- you do n't have to joke just to prove how brave you 're being . david : i 'm not being brave . this is how i act when i 'm terrified . dorian : you need n't be . the odds are in your favor . i 'm betting on you , and you know i never bet on anything but a sure thing .

[ john whistles ] talia : what have you got here , lieutenant ? john : oh , just another jerk driving without his license . miles : i have a license . i do n't have it with me . ugh . thank you . talia : well , driving without a license ? really ? john : really . miles : you know , if you 're going to arrest me , i 'd like to speak to my lawyer . if there 's ever a harassment case , you know this is it . john : you think you 're smart , you 're not . i 'm going to find out what you 're hiding . i 'm going to find out what you know about todd manning and why he 's still missing . miles : does that mean i can go ? john : have the lab check out dr. saybrooke 's car , will you ? check for prints , trace evidence . and then have a couple units take it back to her . i 'll drive this slug home . talia : gotcha . john : and , go ahead and give him that ticket for driving without his license . spencer : see ? told you everything would be all right . viki : i do n't understand . why the rush ? i mean , there 'll be plenty of time later , when jessie can at least walk . nash : i am not waiting another day . i am marrying your daughter today . jessica : are you sure you do n't want to wait and get married barefoot on the beach -- nash : no . jessica : at sunset , like we talked about ? nash : no -- yes , i 'm -- i 'm sure . i want to marry you , and that 's what this is about . it does n't matter where we are . we could be on the most beautiful beach in the world with the most stunning sunset , and all i 'd be able to see is you . i would be as lost in those eyes as i am right now . it does n't matter if we have turquoise waters and palm trees , or dirty white walls and beeping machines . all that matters is that it 's you . jessica : i love you . nash : i love you . i 'm sorry about you guys missing your big buchanan party , but , hey , there 'll be plenty of time to throw a big reception once jessica 's back on her feet , right ? viki : yeah -- uh -- i -- i think right now , every -- we need to tone down all this excitement , ok ? i think we have to give her a little quiet , ok ? nash : sure . do you mind if natalie and i stay with jessica ? jessica : no , not at all . clint : viki -- viki : what ? clint : you know a judge , do n't you ? viki : yes , i -- i do . let me call him and see if he can arrange for a license . clint : ok . dorian : license ?

paige : of course . clint : thanks . david , we 've had our share of differences , i know . i 'm grateful that you 're able to put them aside so that you can help jessie . and if there 's anything that i can do for you , you just let me know . david : actually , clint , there is something . you can give me the $ 10 million your father promised me . bo : because of the circumstances , there 'll be an investigation and an autopsy . and then i 'll help you make the arrangements after they release the body . adriana : is there anything i can do ? tate : no . i -- i do n't think so -- i do n't know . i got to get some fresh air . adriana : excuse me . rex : he wants to be alone , adriana . adriana : you 're wrong . that 's the last thing he needs right now . jessica : what if -- what if my body rejects this liver , too ? nash : it wo n't . jessica : it rejected the first one . nash : yeah , but the odds are really , really good for this one . jessica : huh -- you do n't know that . nash : well , then i 'll find out what the odds are . jessica : what if they 're bad ? nash : i 'll lie . natalie : jessica , i think you 're jumping the gun just a little bit here . i mean , look , you 're getting a brand - new liver , you 're marrying a wonderful , wonderful man . i mean , this day started out pretty lousy , and it 's turned out to be pretty darn good . jessica : listen to you . you 've always been such a pessimist . natalie : well , you 've always been such an optimist . nash : and i am such a realist , and the reality is that i am marrying the girl i love . viki : oh . dorian : oh , any luck with the marriage license ? viki : well , i spoke to judge burrows , and he said that he would be happy to help , but unfortunately , he does n't think he can get one until -- where 's clint ? dorian : oh , he went in to thank david . viki : oh , dorian , i 'm so grateful to david . [ viki gasps ] dorian : well , i 'm the one who insisted that he be tested . viki : yes . and for that , i am very grateful to you . thank you . thank you so much . dorian : you 're quite welcome . it 's so fortunate that you and david became so close just in time for him to give up a part of his body to save your daughter . viki : it 's a very selfless and generous thing that he 's doing . and if it is due to our new `` friendship `` -- oh , my goodness , the timing could n't have been more fortuitous . and once again , i thank you . i thank you from the bottom of my heart , dorian , for whatever it was you did that made him so angry that he begged to move in with me . clint : we have been over this . david : well , maybe we should go over it again . asa owes me $ 10 million , and unless i get it , the right lobe of my liver stays exactly where it is . clint : you 're a heartless bastard . david : correction -- a greedy bastard . there is a difference . clint : i thought lately , you were a great friend of viki . that 's going to be over once she hears about this . david : viki 's not going to hear about this . no one is going to hear about this , or the deal is off . once you pay me and i 'm gone , tell anyone you like . clint : how do you want the money transferred ? marty : i do n't want to keep going around and around about this with you , ok ? i 'm not keeping anything from you . i do n't know why you think i am . cole : you 've just been real edgy . marty : well , blair barges in here , practically accuses me of kidnapping todd . is that it ? is that what you think i 've done ? cole : no , of course not . marty : then please -- sweetie , please , do n't look for trouble where there is n't any . ok ? cole : ok . john : well , this guy had your car , but there was no sign of manning . miles : and why is everyone looking at me to find todd ? john : because you sent him to chicago to look for his son . miles : spencer told me to do that . i -- i was only the messenger . i mean , if it was a trap , he used me to set it up . maybe -- maybe he used my trust and friendship to get revenge . i mean , that 's the kind of guy spencer was , right ? marty : that 's exactly the kind of guy spencer was . miles : then you believe me that i had nothing to do with todd disappearing ? marty : all i know is that todd was n't here . john : then why did this guy , hunter , tell blair that he was ? tate : when the o.p.p . said that they were going to take care of things , they did n't say they were going to kill my father ! no . no , he -- he pled guilty for everything that i did . he was n't going to tell buchanan anything ! no , you know that i am loyal to the organization , but that was my father . no . i do n't want his death to be for nothing . i 'll do what i 'm supposed to do . adriana : hey . i did n't think that you should be alone . tate : we used to come here a lot when i was a kid . me and my dad . we would -- he 'd push me on that swing over there . and when i was big enough , he 'd bring me out here to play catch . we played it all the time . yeah . sometimes we 'd be out here for hours , you know , and he 'd have stuff to do , but he 'd always say `` ah , it can wait . `` he was -- he was a great guy . he was a great dad . and , you know , i know we went our separate paths , but -- he was my father , and i loved him . and i 'm going to miss him . bo : i did n't like kirk harmon , and i sure did n't like what he believed in , but it does n't make it any easier to break news like that . rex : is it bugging you that he was killed by a white dude ? bo : the white dude that killed him was a supremacist . so yeah , it bugs me . rex : you think they were trying to keep him quiet ? bo : maybe . maybe harmon was ready to cut a deal , start naming names . or maybe -- a name . rex : you do n't think it 'd be anybody we know ?

thomas : caroline 's dying ? no . no . bill : she 's very sick . thomas : how -- how do you know ? that does n't make sense . it just -- bill : i know because she told me , thomas . she did n't want to . but i got it out of her . i could just tell something was wrong . i wanted to help . she does n't want to be a burden to anyone . thomas : oh , my god . bill : it hit me the same way , like it ca n't be real . thomas : caroline ... steffy : okay , just keep me updated , rick . i need everything to come off without a hitch . okay , bye . caroline : spencer summit ? steffy : yeah , rick and maya are en route to monaco , so is zende and nicole . caroline : when is everyone else leaving ?

everything with thomas , i feel for you . caroline : i mean , it could be a lot worse , that 's for sure . i -- i really do have a lot to be thankful for . i am a mommy to the most amazing little boy , and i have my two moms , and everyone 's healthy , and ... that should be enough . it would be enough if ... steffy : if you were n't still in love with my brother . quinn : you 're not going to monaco ?

eric : no . what 's the point of living a lie , really ? besides , everything would have come out in the end , anyway . sheila : i just wish i had n't been put in a position to have to tell you . eric : you really believe that , do n't you ? sheila : you do n't ? quinn : i know it is n't helping , but i keep texting him and i keep calling him , but he 's not picking up . i think he turned his phone off . i -- i just want him to talk to me . ridge : well , i wish he 'd talk to anyone but sheila . i do n't want him confiding in her . quinn : with as vulnerable as eric is right now , god only knows what she 's filling his head with . caroline : thomas and i would be together right now if i had n't pushed him away . steffy : you did n't push him away . you needed time to figure things out . caroline : but look what it cost me and my son . i came back to l.a. to fix things . i did n't care if sally was in the picture . steffy : you know how i feel about sally . i think she 's totally wrong for thomas . caroline : i mean , you and i see that , why does n't he ?

is that what this was about , when you showed up to spectra trying to convince me to get back together with caroline ? is that what this is ? you knew she was dying ! and i get it -- i get it -- that you did n't want to betray her confidence , but why did you try to strong - arm me into leaving sally and spectra ? i know you wanted me to return to my family with caroline and douglas . is that what it is ? bill : you never should have throw in with those yahoos in the first place . then you would have time to be in new york with caroline and your son . you can never get that time back . now that caroline is dying . but you can take a look at your life , thomas , and realize that your only obligation is to your little boy and your son 's mother , a woman who is living on borrowed time . thomas : how much time does caroline have ? bill : i 'm not sure . but i am sure of this -- your only responsibility should be to caroline and douglas , making happy , lasting , loving memories that your son will have long after his mother is gone . you can do that for caroline and douglas , thomas . only you . sheila : you know who i am , eric . i 'm the woman i want to be for you . i -- i know that i 'm not worthy , but i have worked so hard at turning my life around ... eric : sheila , i applaud you for that , i really do . especially given the way things have gone since you came back . we accused you of shooting at quinn , we put you behind bars , even though it was deacon in the end . i mean , at that point , you could have said , `` to hell with the forresters , `` but you came to me . you came to me with the truth about what was going on with my wife and ridge . i 'm ... i 'm grateful . you took a bullet from my granddaughter , and you stand up for her . that speaks volumes about our friendship . look , i 'm sorry ... but too much has happened in our past for us to have anything like we had before . that 's just not gon na happen . i 'm -- i 'm sorry . sheila : yeah , i 'm -- i 'm just glad to hear you call me a friend . that means the world to me . look , i -- i can stay if you want me to , or i -- i can leave if you do n't . eric : i do n't know what i want . i just do n't know . ridge : listen , even if sheila were pulling the strings ... quinn : she is pulling the strings . she came here to get his medication , she has a key to the house . she 's the only person who knows where he is , and she is n't saying ! ridge : because dad told her not to . quinn : i should have followed her . ridge : if you found him , he would run . quinn : [ sighs ] so this horrible woman , his ex - wife , is now his confidant ? no . this is n't good , ridge ! this is n't good at all ! steffy : we 're pulling for you . even your uncle . caroline : what ? steffy : it 's just that bill 's used to getting what he wants , and ... i just do n't want him bullying my brother , that 's all . caroline : well , i do n't want that , either . i mean , thomas has to want to come back to us . i mean , otherwise , it does n't work . and i 'm sure my uncle understands that . does n't he ? bill : if you 're feeling guilty about all the missed opportunities with caroline and douglas , i do n't want to rub salt in the wound , but you should . they 're your family , and you abandoned them . thomas : that 's not true . bill : really ? you think that , uh , video - chatting with your son makes up for not being there ? thomas : damn it , bill ! i wanted a family with caroline ! i wanted that , but it was too soon for her . that 's why she left me for new york ! bill : wow , so you 're putting all this on caroline ?

bill : you might say `` as a heart attack . `` give your uncle bill a hug . caroline : oh ! bill : [ chuckles ] caroline : [ sighs ] how 'd you do it ? bill : simple . i told him you were dying . bill : it 's caroline . she 's dying , thomas . sheila : look , at least you have time to figure out what and who you want without the pressure of your family . as long as steffy and liam , they do n't give up your secret and go to quinn and ridge with your whereabouts ... they would n't do that , would they ? ridge : quinn is starting to fall apart . if we do n't find dad soon ... steffy : where is she ? ridge : i told her to go upstairs , get some rest , but she 's probably texting him , waiting by the phone . she has n't slept since he disappeared . steffy : what about you ? ridge : i 'm okay . steffy : no , you 're not . you have n't eaten and slept in days . ridge : well , i will eat and sleep when i find my father . right now , it 's important to stay hydrated .

'cause it 's worth it . you ... are worth it . kristen : i think you 're worth it too . chloe : i got ta hand it to you , mom . letting daniel think that you 're on his side , it 's inspired . genius , actually . nancy : well , hopefully , it will buy you some time . [ sighs ] maybe daniel will come to trust my opinions ... and , uh , put his family first , instead of snarky old jennifer . chloe : well , so far , so good on that front , because it seems like snarky old jennifer is avoiding daniel like the plague . kayla : daniel ! daniel : ah ! kayla : i 'm so glad you 're here , thank you . daniel : yeah , well , the guest of honor kinda gave me an ultimatum . kayla : well , you know , whatever it takes . daniel : yeah . anne : jennifer ? i - i did n't know you were coming . jennifer : oh , sorry to disappoint you , anne , but i 'm here . maxine : there she is ! jennifer : oh , hey ! look at you ! wow ! you look gorgeous . maxine : thank you . as do you , darling . i knew you 'd be here with me . jennifer : of course . maxine : come on , let 's party ! jennifer : great idea ! let 's go , maxine .

[ chess pieces clatter ] kristen : that 's what you 're thinking ? brady : we should probably start here . kristen : oh , okay . chloe : so what is he saying to her ? anne : how should i know ? he took her outside . chloe : well , can you see them ? anne : yes , but i do n't have bionic ears , chloe . chloe : well , get close enough to them so you can hear them . anne : you know , i played annie sullivan in the miracle worker in high school , and i am pretty good at lip - reading . daniel : i know i put you through a lot , jenn . jennifer : no , it 's not about that . daniel : can you just let me finish , please ? jennifer : okay . daniel : all right , thank you . the whole -- the whole thing with chloe and parker , i know it 's been difficult for you . i do , i know that . but ... just in the last hour or so , something happened that might help us both . jennifer : you sound hopeful . daniel : jenn ... there 's something you need to know . anne : okay , okay . so maybe i 'm not such a good lip - reader . chloe : anne ! anne : but i sure as hell can read body language . chloe : and ? anne : it does n't look good for you , chloe . i 'm sorry . i 've discovered gold . eric : you know , i 'm sorry , nicole ... that i have n't been able to understand what you 've been going through . nicole : and i 'm sorry my reaction was to lash out at you .

'cause it 's worth it . you ... are worth it . kristen : i think you 're worth it too . chloe : i got ta hand it to you , mom . letting daniel think that you 're on his side , it 's inspired . genius , actually . nancy : well , hopefully , it will buy you some time . [ sighs ] maybe daniel will come to trust my opinions ... and , uh , put his family first , instead of snarky old jennifer . chloe : well , so far , so good on that front , because it seems like snarky old jennifer is avoiding daniel like the plague . kayla : daniel ! daniel : ah ! kayla : i 'm so glad you 're here , thank you . daniel : yeah , well , the guest of honor kinda gave me an ultimatum . kayla : well , you know , whatever it takes . daniel : yeah . anne : jennifer ? i - i did n't know you were coming . jennifer : oh , sorry to disappoint you , anne , but i 'm here . maxine : there she is ! jennifer : oh , hey ! look at you ! wow ! you look gorgeous . maxine : thank you . as do you , darling . i knew you 'd be here with me . jennifer : of course . maxine : come on , let 's party ! jennifer : great idea ! let 's go , maxine .

[ chess pieces clatter ] kristen : that 's what you 're thinking ? brady : we should probably start here . kristen : oh , okay . chloe : so what is he saying to her ? anne : how should i know ? he took her outside . chloe : well , can you see them ? anne : yes , but i do n't have bionic ears , chloe . chloe : well , get close enough to them so you can hear them . anne : you know , i played annie sullivan in the miracle worker in high school , and i am pretty good at lip - reading . daniel : i know i put you through a lot , jenn . jennifer : no , it 's not about that . daniel : can you just let me finish , please ? jennifer : okay . daniel : all right , thank you . the whole -- the whole thing with chloe and parker , i know it 's been difficult for you . i do , i know that . but ... just in the last hour or so , something happened that might help us both . jennifer : you sound hopeful . daniel : jenn ... there 's something you need to know . anne : okay , okay . so maybe i 'm not such a good lip - reader . chloe : anne ! anne : but i sure as hell can read body language . chloe : and ? anne : it does n't look good for you , chloe . i 'm sorry . i 've discovered gold . eric : you know , i 'm sorry , nicole ... that i have n't been able to understand what you 've been going through . nicole : and i 'm sorry my reaction was to lash out at you .

[ chuckles ] eli : you know , you seem pretty nonchalant about all this . did it occur to you that that alibi could blow our case up against her ? rafe : oh , i know eve did n't do it . eli : right , you knew she did n't do it . then why 'd you bring her down with no warrant ? rafe : well , okay , here 's the thing . eve 's no dummy . she never would have opened up her purse if she knew the amulet was in it . so obviously someone else put it in there , someone in the kiriakis mansion . so i had to get her and the amulet out of that house . here 's the thing . if someone 's trying to lead you down the wrong path , the best thing to do : pretend like you 're going down the wrong path . you learn a lot that way , right ? 'cause now we have eve and we have the amulet . and she wants to talk to us . eli : so this was a set - up . rafe : well , think about this . did it ever occur to you , now that eve has an alibi , she did n't kill deimos , and she could n't have stolen the amulet . but the amulet was in her bag in the kiriakis mansion . food for thought ? sami : rafe , hey . i need to talk to you . rafe : um -- sami : in private . eli : we 're working here . rafe : well , just -- sami : this is important . rafe : okay . she -- she 's going through a lot right now , so let me just talk to her for a second . it 's all right . you can handle eve , right ? just -- you go talk to her . well , what 's up ? what 's so important ? sami : i ca n't talk to you about it here . we have to go somewhere where no one will hear what i 'm gon na ask you to do . copd makes it hard to breathe . brady : i wo n't have to finger nicole . even if the charges do n't stick with eve , there 's no way she can pin the crime on me . victor : if the charges do n't stick , you still have to get rid of eve . once your brilliant little plan blows up in your face , she 's gon na be on to you . say what you will about her ; she could prove to be a worthy adversary . eve : so have you figured it out yet ? i told you the amulet was n't in my purse , and then , sacré bleu , suddenly the cops show up and it 's there . it was planted there . brady 's the one that called it in , so who do you think was setting me up ? eli : it was henderson who made the discovery . eve : henderson would n't last very long in victor 's employ if he did n't follow orders . he 's told what to discover and when to discover it . eli : so you 're saying victor set you up . eve : victor and/or brady . aw , come on . it does n't take a genius to figure out why they want to set me up for deimos 's murder . they want me out of the company . eli : eve , there are other people in the house . eve : nobody wants me out of that house more than victor and brady . so come on , now . unless your circumstantial evidence is good enough to build a case against me , i suggest you , you know , look toward brady and how he got his hands on that amulet . of course , that is just a little friendly tip from a very , very concerned citizen . eli : [ sighs ] [ door closes ] marlena : wow . heaven only knows what she 's going to do next . she 's been arrested twice since she got here . she held a gun on rolf , and she broke into susan 's house . roman : almost got arrested again . that 's our sami . marlena : yeah . i keep thinking back to the day at the church when ben weston burst in and said that will was still alive . and i remember thinking , `` oh , my gosh , i 'm so glad that sami 's not here . i 'm so glad she 's not hearing this . `` and then as time went on , we had to tell her ourselves . roman : we had no choice , even knowing there was a pretty good chance that ben was lying . marlena : well , i knew that , and you knew that , but sami -- now she has her hopes up , and she will not be able to let this go . you know , i 've missed her so much . and i 'm so glad that she 's home . roman : but how much more of this can we all take ? rafe : i 'm sorry that things did n't work out for you in memphis . sami : susan banks is lying . rafe : okay . but what do you want me to do about it ? sami : look , there 's only one way we 're going to really and truly know if will is gone . i want to have will 's body exhumed after all . chad : unless andre 's made some under - the - table deal with a competitor , huh ? abigail : you know , i think there 's only one thing left to do : put him on double secret probation . chad : what are you doing ? are you trying to make a funny right now ? abigail : i 'm trying to change the subject before we get into a real fight . chad : oh , okay , you want to change the subject . abigail : yes , for ten minutes . i 'm tired of talking about andre . chad : okay , well , then allow me to change the subject , and i 'll start talking about -- abigail : hmm ? andre : oh , i 'm sorry to interrupt . this is an emergency . dimera 's been hit again . that merger that had all our attention has been scuttled by a competitor . abigail : i will start on a press release . chad : no , you know what ? we keep doing that . i think it 's time we try -- we try something new . theo : what are you doing here ? kate : i 'm exercising my prerogative . theo : well , what does that mean ? kate : i 've changed my mind . eve : hello , boys ! i 'm back . brady , would you be a dear and make me a big double scotch ? you know , that expensive stuff that i was never able to afford before ? brady : they let you go . eve : looks like it , right ? yeah , did i ever thank you for putting me in touch with chloe when i was living in new york ? you always thought that we would bond , bond over our music . victor : or trashy clothes . eve : and we did . we actually went to the opera june 29th , the night that deimos was murdered . yeah , took selfies backstage . in fact , right now , down at the station , detective hernandez and grant , they said that i had an icon - clad alibi . so i 'm free as a bird ! [ laughs ] and i flew back to my nest . rafe : you wanted john and paul arrested for trying to exhume will 's body . you said there was no point . you were furious . sami : well , i did n't have all the information then . and i did n't want to desecrate will 's grave on a long shot . rafe : okay . you do n't think it 's a long shot anymore ? sami : rafe , i did n't want to hope . i did n't want to build my hopes up and ... i 've been on this wild goose chase around the world looking for ej , and ... i wanted it to be different . rafe : is it ? sami : i do n't know . but i have an instinct , like a -- like a mother 's instinct . and i would n't be able to live with myself if i did n't follow it . rafe : what about lucas ? he hated the idea . sami : do i need his permission to do it ? rafe : not technically . but do n't you think you should talk to him ? sami : no . i do n't think he could handle it , and certainly he could n't handle saying good - bye to will again . and i do n't want him to say no . rafe : and you never let anyone stand in your way . sami : do n't get all judgy on me now , rafe . rafe : [ chuckles ] sami : you were with me . we lost grace together . you know how that felt . and then the miracle of finding out about sydney . i ca n't help it . i still believe in miracles . rafe : okay . [ sighs ] all right , fine . i 'll see what i can do . chad : i 'm tired of putting out the fires after the house has burned down . it 's time to get ahead of it . andre : i agree . we should find out who is behind this and put a stop to it . chad : yes . so why do n't you just admit it , andre ? it 's you , is n't it ? theo : so you want me to break into the office building ? kate : no , i don't . but i 'm afraid it 's our last , best option to save dimera . so is the offer still good ? [ dramatic music ] eve : mmm ! this stuff is so good . brady , i got a little bit of advice for you . you might want to pour yourself a strong black cup of coffee , because you really do n't want to be muddled when the police show back up here , 'cause they 're very curious on how you got your hands on that amulet . hmm . it 's very clear that the two of you or one of you murdered my husband . and if you did n't , you certainly know who did . chloe : hey , let me call you a cab . lucas : what , why ? why , i did n't do anything . chloe : i 'm doing you a favor . come on . what are you -- you looking for ? lucas : i 'm -- i 'm just looking for will . i only see him when i 'm really , really drunk . i mean , i know it 's not real , but if it 's the only way i get to lay my eyes on him , then ... chloe : then what ? let 's go . rafe : yes . mm - hmm . lucas : you told me that you wanted to be there for your children . do n't forget that . our children are important . you want to be there for them . sami : will is one of my children ! lucas : if you go to her house , you might not make it back ! he 's my child too ! you do n't think i want him to be alive ? of course i do . but if , if rolf brought him back to life -- and that 's a big if -- it does n't mean that he 's still alive . susan could have still gone through with her plan ! yes , hope can be a good thing . but we have to face reality . we have to let our son rest in peace . why do n't you just go home and be there for our children ? our children who are still alive , they need us . sami : but , lucas , i want will to be alive . lucas : i know . i know . rafe : okay , i pulled some strings to expedite the process . sami : and ? rafe : and i was granted the right to exhume will 's body . sami : [ sighs ] when ? when can it happen ? rafe : right now .Summarize.[/INST]chad and abby asked theo if he was working on a secret project at dimera . brady was drinking when victor walked in on him . brady let him know that he took care of eve . he told him that he set her up for deimos ' murder . brady wondered if he would get his job back . victor told him that he would n't get it back . eve was n't cooperative with rafe and eli . she told them that brady would be the one in statesville . lucas was at the club when chloe stopped him from drinking . he did n't understand why she stopped him from having his drink . sami told roman and marlena that she did n't believe that susan was telling the truth about will . chad continued to ask theo if he was working on something . theo thought about his conversation with kate . theo thought that chad and abby were calling him a liar . they denied that they were accusing him of doing anything wrong . theo denied doing anything wrong . chad asked him if andre wanted him to do something . theo let him know that andre did n't ask him to do anything . theo wanted them to leave . andre wanted to help kate get over what happened with will , but she did n't want him to touch her . she thought about andre possibly stabbing her in the back . andre did n't understand why she changed around him . victor wanted to know how much thought he put into his plan to set up eve . brady explained how she had a motive . victor reminded him that he wiped off nicole 's fingerprints so he could n't use it against her . brady did n't think nicole would come back . victor also told him that he could only punish one of them . brady was n't worried about it . victor told him that eve might have had an alibi for the night deimos was murdered . chloe tried to make lucas feel better about what happened to will . lucas told him that he was drinking because of will and adrienne dumping him . marlena did n't want sami to obsess over what happened in memphis . sami felt that susan was lying about will being dead . marlena thought that sami should be thinking about the three kids that she left with austin and carrie . sami was determined to find answers about will . victor told brady that he might be the one who was implicated if eve had an alibi . eve called chloe to the station and she told the police that chloe was her alibi . sami realized what she had to do to find out the truth about will .</s> | 845 |

[ scene_break ] gwen : well , of course , this time around , things are different for me with theresa carrying the babies , but still , i am just as excited as if i were carrying them myself . but you are so lucky , whit , and when you get pregnant , you 'll be able to carry your own baby to term . whitney : yeah , i hope so . theresa : well , knowing whitney , it 'll be a while before she knows what it feels like . i mean , she and chad are two of the most organized , careful people i know . they 'll probably wait a couple of years at least for kids , right , whit ? whitney : who knows , right ? gwen : theresa , wait until you see all the new things i ordered for the nursery . you are going to love the mobiles . ethan : what else did you order ? gwen : ok , you 'll see . ethan : oh -- gwen : ok , everything that i ordered so far has been , you know , something that can be worn by either a boy or a girl . so cute , right ? i mean , just to be on the safe side . theresa : do n't you think you 're jumping the gun a little with all this stuff , gwen ? gwen : why ? you 're not feeling sick again or anything , right ? because we can just -- we can take you right to the hospital . theresa : no , no , no . that 's not necessary . i 'm fine . it 's just that you 're making me a little nervous with all these new clothes and strollers and things . i mean , is n't it supposed to be bad luck to get so far ahead of yourself in a pregnancy ? gwen : well , i refuse to buy into all of that superstition stuff . besides , ethan and i have certainly had more than our fair share of bad luck , so from now on , things are going to be great . ethan : they will be . gwen : yeah . i mean , at first , i was definitely a little bit nervous , but when i heard that theresa was having twins , i just had a feeling that everything is going to be perfect for us . [ scene_break ] chad : wait till i tell whitney we can start planning our wedding right away . yeah , she 's going to be thrilled . fox : not when she hears what i 've got to tell her . chad : what 'd you say ? fox : nothing . i just -- i just do n't think the kind of wedding that whitney wants is going to happen overnight , not with all the bells and whistles that you 've been talking about . chad : well , maybe . however long it takes , as long as it happens -- and as long as you 're there , standing up for me when it does . fox : yeah , sure . chad : no , but i meant what i said . you know , even if i do have blood relatives out there , i could never be as tight with them as i am with you , bro . fox : well , back at you , man . chad : look , i better go and find whitney , you know , tell her about my new contract . you know , the sooner we start planning for our wedding , the sooner i can get to the honeymoon part . fox : which will be , like , never once you both hear what i 've got to tell you .

[ scene_break ] chad : wait till i tell whitney we can start planning our wedding right away . yeah , she 's going to be thrilled . fox : not when she hears what i 've got to tell her . chad : what 'd you say ? fox : nothing . i just -- i just do n't think the kind of wedding that whitney wants is going to happen overnight , not with all the bells and whistles that you 've been talking about . chad : well , maybe . however long it takes , as long as it happens -- and as long as you 're there , standing up for me when it does . fox : yeah , sure . chad : no , but i meant what i said . you know , even if i do have blood relatives out there , i could never be as tight with them as i am with you , bro . fox : well , back at you , man . chad : look , i better go and find whitney , you know , tell her about my new contract . you know , the sooner we start planning for our wedding , the sooner i can get to the honeymoon part . fox : which will be , like , never once you both hear what i 've got to tell you .

[ laughs ] [ door closes ] devon : hilary has humiliated me , she 's infuriated me , but that still did n't stop me from getting jealous and kissing her . jill : hmm . you see , i might call you misguided and foolish , except that i have caved into that very same impulse with colin from time to time . you know that you 'd be better off without the jerk in your life , but the jerk makes life passionate and fun , and it makes you less lonely . ca n't live with , ca n't live without . devon : yeah . pretty much covered it . i really wonder what , uh , katherine would say about me and hilary . jill : ha . if she was being honest , she would tell you about all the mistakes she made in her life . devon : like what ? jill : she was once married to a very , very good man , and i would venture to say that she treated him worse than hilary treated you . and you know , the most cruel and hurtful thing about her was that she let her ego get in the way all the time . she never could admit that she was wrong , not until the day she was dying . devon : i do n't want to get to that point before i figure my own life out . jill : you nearly died in that car accident , okay ? what did that teach you ? devon : to never waste another second . jill : so if you went back to hilary , would it be a joy or a waste ? devon : hmm . you almost died with your heart attack . did you learn anything from it ? jill : [ sighs ] yeah . same as you . we ca n't afford to waste one single precious moment . hilary : thank you again for -- for doing this . jordan : i 'm glad to have the work . nothing going on at brash & sassy today . hilary : are you there exclusively now ? jordan : no , but i do like what they 're doing over there -- taking risks , trying to ride the cutting edge . and lily 's a blast to work with . you 're related to her , right ? hilary : for the moment . my husband is lily 's brother , but now that we 're separated ... jordan : yeah , yeah , yeah . you mentioned that . must be hard to work with the guy . hilary : yeah , right . [ scoffs ] um , but , you know , speaking of work ... jordan : you do n't want to talk about it . hilary : no , not especially . but , um , anyway , some of the promotional packages that we put together so far , they 've been pretty standard , and i 'm looking for something ... a little more current . jordan : hotter ? hilary : sexier , but classy . jordan : i get that . hilary : i bet you do . mariah : i hate to interrupt , but ... jordan : that is quite a transformation . mariah : thank you very much . jordan : let me , uh , grab my meter , and i 'll get started . mariah : so ... what 's going on between you and jordan ? hilary : nothing . mariah : do you want to give me a real answer ? hilary : [ sighs ] why is it any of your business ? mariah : because the word is out all over the place that you and devon were locking lips after our last show . abby : neil ! neil : huh ? abby : hi ! i am so glad i ran into you . my business lunch just stood me up . do you mind if i join ? neil : sure . [ chuckles ] have a seat . abby : [ sighs ] thank you . i am famished . neil : as nice as it is to see you , i got the feeling you got more on your mind than the soup of the day . abby : [ sighs ] this huge corporation that i was courting , they canceled lunch first thing this morning , and i have been doing damage control over texts and e - mail . neil : hmm . and avoiding the office . abby : yeah . as soon as i go back there , i have to break the news to my dad , and , well , i hate disappointing him . neil : so did i . that never changed in all the years that i worked for victor . i have a little advice for you . abby : i know what you 're gon na tell me . you 're gon na say i should quit , that i will never meet up to my father 's expectations . neil : actually , i was gon na suggest the spinach salad with salmon . stamina for your long day ahead . and , abby , i honestly believe that victor -- he finally found the right newman to inherit his throne . abby : [ sighs ] phyllis : heads up ! product number 's on there . ravi : okay , awesome . i 'll , uh , track this and make sure there are no other glitches lurking in the code . phyllis : lurking , like your feelings unrequited for ashley . ravi : [ chuckles ] unless you have psychic powers , you ca n't know how ashley feels . we have a special connection . she responds to me . phyllis : she responds , all right -- to your intellect and skill . ravi : there are other intelligent , skilled guys working here . phyllis : none like you . no , no , i see the bond between the two of you . i do . ravi : then why do you doubt that it could ever work ? phyllis : because i see it as purely friendship . nothing more . ravi : maybe you 're right . maybe not . you 're not the only one who 's concerned with my feelings . abby warned me about also getting involved . phyllis : abby , her daughter ... who 's around your age . ravi : okay . that 's true . i 'm a little younger than ashley . so what ? phyllis : `` a little `` ? ravi : ashley opened up to me about the quality she wants in a man . phyllis : oh , she did ? ravi : i told you we have a special connection . phyllis : mm - hmm . and you have a lot of these qualities ? ravi , i have seen the men that she has been with throughout the years . they are all about power and strength and titans of industry . ravi : and how -- how did her relationships with those cocky alpha males work out ? no , i - i would never hurt her the way that they have . phyllis : you know , i think if she was looking for a nice guy , she probably would have found him by now . i hear what you 're saying , that you like her , you know , and she likes you . just not in that way . you know , i think to protect your sanity , you got to let go of this quest . [ telephone buzzes ] ravi : this is ravi . ashley : hey , it 's ashley . i 'm glad i caught you . ravi : hey , ashley . what can i do for you ? ashley : i was wondering if i could talk to you . it 's kind of important . could you come to my office ? ravi : absolutely . whatever you need . hilary : i have no idea what 's going on with devon . mariah : well , you should have a clue with that kiss . according to trishelle from accounting , it was very steamy . hilary : well , trishelle from accounting did n't hear what he said before the kiss . he was trying to prove that as miserable as we are together , we are more miserable apart . mariah : so , proven ? hilary : i do n't know . [ sighs ] the kiss , it was ... it was amazing . but after the kiss , nothing , okay ? i have n't -- i have n't talked to him . i have n't seen him . totally mixed signals . mariah : well , i have heard of that before , you know , men being confused . he probably does n't know what he wants . hilary : you know what i think ? i think he was jealous of jordan . that 's why he kissed me . just because some other guy was interested . mariah : i think there 's probably a little bit more to it than that . hilary : no , it does n't matter , okay ? i 'm tired of devon and his games . we are gon na be adults . we are gon na move on . so , let 's go . let 's show the world exactly what devon 's missing . abby : your perspective on newman , it 's very eye - opening . neil : i worked there a lot of years , abby . abby : you even ran the place . i 've been studying financial records , company history . neil : you are so like your father . abby : [ chuckles ] neil , why did n't it work out for you ? neil : one essential factor . my last name . you know , victor toyed with the idea of leaving his company to people outside of his family for many , many years , but in the end , it boiled down to blood being thicker than loyalty and seniority . and when i finally realized that , i had to leave for good . abby : and the company suffered without you . neil : hmm . that 's nice of you to say . abby : it 's the truth . i have been dissecting some of the alliances that you scored for newman , and i got to tell you , they are still profiting the company to this day . neil : [ chuckles ] abby : and i was thinking that it would be an amazing coup if i could lure you back . neil : [ coughs ] abby : back to newman . neil : whoa . [ chuckles ] you 're ser -- no , i - i -- abby : yes . neil : no , i 'm gon na pass on that one . abby : why ? neil : uh , been there , left that . but i 'm happy to give you some occasional advice informally if you 'd like . abby : i 'd like that . so , what is your advice for today ? neil : listen to victor . follow your own instincts , and you should be fine . victor may give you hell , but if you survive it , in the end , it 'll pay off . abby : [ sighs ] [ camera shutter clicks ] jordan : love it , ladies . yes . [ camera shutter clicks ] hilary : um , how about this ? jordan : okay , yeah . [ camera shutter clicks ] jordan : okay , ladies . that 's it . mariah : yeah ? was any of that sexy or hot ? 'cause i do n't really know how to do that . [ chuckles ] jordan : we definitely got plenty of that . devon : what 's going on ? mariah : we are taking some publicity shots . oh , wow . hilary : wow . you made us look amazing . thank you . thank you . jordan : any time . hilary : okay , mariah , we have to go get ready for the show . mariah : all right . devon : hey , can i see some of the shots ? jordan : yeah , of course . man , i love these . hilary 's looking particularly hot . impressive . devon : hilary 's hotness ? jordan : you and her , working together with what 's going on . she -- she mentioned that you guys were separated . devon : that 's right . yeah , we are . jordan : hey , i do n't want to make things awkward , but i was thinking about asking hilary out on a date . would that be a problem with you ? devon : no . no , no . uh , she 's on her own , so , uh ... i do n't know if she 's gon na say yes , but do your thing . that 's fine . jordan : that 's fair enough , man . thanks for being so cool about that . devon : sure . jordan : all right , man . i 'll see you later . devon : yeah . lily : hello . cane : hello , there . lily : how are you ? cane : good . how are you ? you know , as , uh , as much as i would like a repeat of yesterday 's goodbye undress rehearsal performance , um , i think you and i need to talk first about , uh , my dad . lily : uh , yeah . i 'm gon na vote no on that . cane : yeah ? we still need to talk about it , baby . we have to talk about it . lily : okay , fine . what does colin want ? cane : he thinks that you want to kick him out of the house . lily : oh , of course . typical . always covering his options . cane : okay , well , are you considering it , or ... ? lily : look , i have been more than generous . cane : okay . and you 've been patient . lily : yes . and it 's just -- it 's too much to have him here if you 're not around . cane : all right . okay . lily : [ sighs ] okay , fine . fine . just tell me how long he 's planning on being here . cane : all right , look , it 's not gon na be much longer 'cause he thinks he 's close to finding a way to pay the money back he took from jill , okay ? then he and jill can patch things up , and they 'll be back together . lily : that 's great , but where did he find so much money so quickly ? cane : i do n't know . but he says it did n't involve any criminal activity , so ... lily : and you believed him . jill : you better have gotten my ring back . colin : too soon ? mariah : how in the world did you make me look that amazing ? jordan : i refuse to take credit for that . i had two beautiful women in front of the camera . all i had to do was aim and shoot . [ laughter ] hilary : i 'm sorry , guys , but i have to review my notes before we go on air . jordan : can i have a word real quick ? hilary : uh , yeah . sure . jordan : i was thinking maybe you and i could go out for drinks later . [ knock on door ] ashley : come in ! ravi : hey . ashley : hey . ravi : i brought my laptop in case you need me to take notes . ashley : oh . that wo n't be necessary . no note - taking today . ravi : okay . what 's up ? ashley : i just hope you know how much i value you , all the contributions you 've made . ravi : yeah , you 've been very generous and complimentary . ashley : i hope i have n't given you the wrong impression , ravi . ravi : about what ? ashley : our friendship . you know , our working relationship . what are you thinking ? ravi : i preferred your original thought . you said friendship . ashley : yeah . we are friends . ravi : good , 'cause i consider you one . ashley : we are definitely friends , but you need to know that we are never gon na be anything more than that . ravi : yeah . uh , was that it ? ashley : yeah . i guess so . is there something else ? ravi : why , ashley ? why is it so impossible for us to be more than friends ? jill : [ sighs ] what a nerve you have , trying to win me back using the wedding ring that phillip intended for me . colin : i meant not harm . i simply wanted to demonstrate that i 'd renew our vows if given the chance . jill , are you all right ? jill : you have no idea . all those years of torment i lived through . this ring could have changed everything . [ sighs ] you know something ? with all your selfishness and your greed , you really did me a huge favor . colin : i did ? jill : i could have died without knowing that this ring or that letter ever existed , because on some level , i do n't really think katherine wanted me to find them . colin : why would you think -- jill : because she hid the key so well . if i had n't kicked you out and if billy had n't sent your clothes off to charity , you never would have found that music box . you never would have found this ring . colin : yeah , well , it is beautiful . but now that you 've seen it and made peace with what it represents , you can use it to get what you really want . jill : what do you mean , what i really want ? colin : it 's worth more than what it would cost to buy control of fenmore 's , and then some . i mean , that ring could make you whole again , and i 'm hoping us whole , too . lily : i 'm just thinking who knows what kind of scam colin pulled to get his hands on all that money . and if he 's doing something illegal while he 's living in this house ? cane : okay , if anything causes danger for you or the kids , he 's out of here . lily : and no more second chances ? cane : not even half a chance . lily : [ sighs ] i miss you already . but you know what ? you 're gon na be brilliant . so knock 'em dead , okay ? cane : i love you . i love you , okay ? lily : i love you , too . cane : okay , baby . hilary : uh , i 'm actually free tonight , so drinks sound great . jordan : all right . perfect . devon : hey , mariah . mariah : hey . devon : hey , what did you think of your photo shoot ? it looked like it went well , right ? what do you think of jordan ? mariah : yeah , he 's an awesome photographer . um , i got to -- devon : he 's considering asking hilary out on a date , and he actually asked if i was okay with it . mariah : he did ? devon : yeah . mariah : oh , my god . oh , that 's -- that 's -- that 's great , 'cause i was worried that it was gon na be a big deal , you know , with them going out and getting drinks tonight , but now that you told him that it 's okay , that 's excellent . devon : hang on a second . she said yes to him ? jordan : i did run this by devon before i asked you out . hilary : you did ? jordan : yeah , i did n't want to make things weird , you know , with us working together . i hope that was cool . hilary : yeah , that was more than cool . jordan : all right , good . hilary : actually , do you want to stick around , watch my show ? jordan : i would love that . mariah : i thought that you gave jordan the green light on asking hilary out . devon : i -- you know , i - i did . i do n't have a problem with it . i just -- i 'm -- i 'm surprised because i did n't think he 's her type , you know ? but that 's what she wants , who am i to stop her ? [ both laugh ] ravi : i do n't want to hear any excuse about you being older than me . i mean , age is merely a number . we spend most of our days juggling numbers and manipulating math to a preferable outcome . ashley : it is more than a number . i mean , there is history , there 's life experience , there 's life lessons , there 's heartbreaks . are you kidding me ? i have lived through so many things you could never possibly imagine . ravi : that could be true of any woman i meet . i mean , if she 's from a different country or background . ashley : okay , that 's true . but if you 're with a younger woman -- ravi : you 've been in relationships with men of the same age with similar backgrounds . how did those work out ? ashley : yeah . okay , look , we have talked before about that line , right , between work and romance , ravi . ravi : take an honest assessment of jabot . i mean , it 's practically an incestuous infrastructure . you really think that line exists here ? ashley : [ laughs ] ravi : see ? and i make you laugh . ashley : [ sighs ] i do n't want to lose that . ravi : then ... ashley : ravi , people are already starting to notice how you feel about me . and for you to think that we could be more than friends is going to complicate things , and i 'm afraid it 's going to potentially ruin what we already have . ravi : of course , i 'll respect your wishes . it just seems to me like you 're more concerned with what people would think instead of what you may actually want . [ sighs ] jill : colin , i 'm not selling this ring . this is beyond priceless . colin : i saw the zeroes on the appraiser 's check . i mean , it 's definitely got -- jill : i 'm never selling this ring ! i 'm refusing to even consider it ! have you got that ? and as much as i 'd like to strangle katherine 's corpse right now ... she gave me this . this is a piece of phillip , and i know how much he loved me . i want to thank you , colin , for placing this ring in my hands . colin : i 'm touched that you 're so generous . does this mean that i 'm forgiven ? jill : i can never forgive katherine for withholding this from me . and i ca n't forgive you for lying to me and for stealing from me . colin : guess i 'm gon na have to accept that for now . but i 'm not giving up on us . phillip : no , jill , you 're not dreaming . i 'll have my freedom , and you and i can be married . jill : yes . yes , phillip .

'cause you do n't want him to get under your skin , and then you start questioning yourself , you lose your confidence . abby : well , um , speaking of confidence , you look great sitting behind uncle jack 's desk . ashley : i mean , it 's been my desk several times over the years , you know ? did i tell you that i 've decided to take a more active role in running the company ? abby : while uncle jack 's in new york ? ashley : mnh - mnh . even when he 's back . you do realize that i 'm the reason why jabot is back on solid ground , because of my ideas and ravi 's execution . i deserve to be here . what ? you do n't think i deserve to be here ? abby : you definitely do . ashley : but ? do you have something to say ? abby : mom , if you keep this up , you 're gon na break ravi 's heart . jill : you see , my relationship with your grandmother was more complicated than you know , and this letter , it just -- pfft -- opened up wounds that occurred long before you were born . devon : but , jill , you know she ca n't heal these wounds from the grave . jill : well , in a lot of ways , she made it worse , okay ? devon : maybe i can help you with it . talk to me . think of me as my grandmother 's proxy . jill : i ca n't ask you to do that . devon : sure you can . i 'm sure your husband robbing you was devastating . you know if you need money , you can ask me , right ? jill : i will not take money from you . devon : you sure ? jill : hmm . devon : 'cause i have plenty of it , and it all belonged to katherine , so anything you need , just let me know . jill : [ chuckles ] hmm . devon : i mean it . jill : as furious as i may be with your grandmother , i have never borne you any ill will . devon : i 'm very fond of you , too , jill . colin , on the other hand , though ... jill : no , i know . i know . you have every right to resent my husband . it may make you happy to know that your occasional blackmailer has been expelled from my loving arms . devon : well , a few weeks ago , maybe , but right now , i think it would be arrogant and tacky for me to celebrate your breakup . jill : that 's right . you married a barracuda of your own . mariah : you are trying to steal the spotlight , looking all glamorous while i look like a ratty sweat sock . hilary : i did not try to sabotage you . mariah : what do you call a surprise photo shoot ? hilary : check your e - mail . mariah : okay . i have this thing on me at all times , and i would -- hilary : oh . are they there , both the e - mails that i sent you ? mariah : i guess i forgot to check my work account . hilary : yeah . guess you did . mariah : all right . i am sorry for jumping down your throat . are you gon na make my life hell for this ? hilary : i should . but i did make you fall flat on your face on air , so i guess you 're allowed to be suspicious . mariah : well , i will try to tone that down from now on . hilary : that thing you said back there about us finally becoming a team , did you mean it ? mariah : i guess . kind of . especially now that i know that you do n't wake up looking like that .

[ cell phone rings ] colin : yeah ? how 'd it go ? oh , my man . yeah , listen , i 'll be right there . cane : you know , i 'm almost afraid to ask what that was about , right ? colin : hey , happy days . i 'm about to pay jill back every cent . cane : oh , how are you gon na do that ? colin : wonder of wonders . it 's quite legal . [ laughs ] [ door closes ] devon : hilary has humiliated me , she 's infuriated me , but that still did n't stop me from getting jealous and kissing her . jill : hmm . you see , i might call you misguided and foolish , except that i have caved into that very same impulse with colin from time to time . you know that you 'd be better off without the jerk in your life , but the jerk makes life passionate and fun , and it makes you less lonely . ca n't live with , ca n't live without . devon : yeah . pretty much covered it . i really wonder what , uh , katherine would say about me and hilary . jill : ha . if she was being honest , she would tell you about all the mistakes she made in her life . devon : like what ? jill : she was once married to a very , very good man , and i would venture to say that she treated him worse than hilary treated you . and you know , the most cruel and hurtful thing about her was that she let her ego get in the way all the time . she never could admit that she was wrong , not until the day she was dying . devon : i do n't want to get to that point before i figure my own life out . jill : you nearly died in that car accident , okay ? what did that teach you ? devon : to never waste another second . jill : so if you went back to hilary , would it be a joy or a waste ? devon : hmm . you almost died with your heart attack . did you learn anything from it ? jill : [ sighs ] yeah . same as you . we ca n't afford to waste one single precious moment . hilary : thank you again for -- for doing this . jordan : i 'm glad to have the work . nothing going on at brash & sassy today . hilary : are you there exclusively now ? jordan : no , but i do like what they 're doing over there -- taking risks , trying to ride the cutting edge . and lily 's a blast to work with . you 're related to her , right ? hilary : for the moment . my husband is lily 's brother , but now that we 're separated ... jordan : yeah , yeah , yeah . you mentioned that . must be hard to work with the guy . hilary : yeah , right . [ scoffs ] um , but , you know , speaking of work ... jordan : you do n't want to talk about it . hilary : no , not especially . but , um , anyway , some of the promotional packages that we put together so far , they 've been pretty standard , and i 'm looking for something ... a little more current . jordan : hotter ? hilary : sexier , but classy . jordan : i get that . hilary : i bet you do . mariah : i hate to interrupt , but ... jordan : that is quite a transformation . mariah : thank you very much . jordan : let me , uh , grab my meter , and i 'll get started . mariah : so ... what 's going on between you and jordan ? hilary : nothing . mariah : do you want to give me a real answer ? hilary : [ sighs ] why is it any of your business ? mariah : because the word is out all over the place that you and devon were locking lips after our last show . abby : neil ! neil : huh ? abby : hi ! i am so glad i ran into you . my business lunch just stood me up . do you mind if i join ? neil : sure . [ chuckles ] have a seat . abby : [ sighs ] thank you . i am famished . neil : as nice as it is to see you , i got the feeling you got more on your mind than the soup of the day . abby : [ sighs ] this huge corporation that i was courting , they canceled lunch first thing this morning , and i have been doing damage control over texts and e - mail . neil : hmm . and avoiding the office . abby : yeah . as soon as i go back there , i have to break the news to my dad , and , well , i hate disappointing him . neil : so did i . that never changed in all the years that i worked for victor . i have a little advice for you . abby : i know what you 're gon na tell me . you 're gon na say i should quit , that i will never meet up to my father 's expectations . neil : actually , i was gon na suggest the spinach salad with salmon . stamina for your long day ahead . and , abby , i honestly believe that victor -- he finally found the right newman to inherit his throne . abby : [ sighs ] phyllis : heads up ! product number 's on there . ravi : okay , awesome . i 'll , uh , track this and make sure there are no other glitches lurking in the code . phyllis : lurking , like your feelings unrequited for ashley . ravi : [ chuckles ] unless you have psychic powers , you ca n't know how ashley feels . we have a special connection . she responds to me . phyllis : she responds , all right -- to your intellect and skill . ravi : there are other intelligent , skilled guys working here . phyllis : none like you . no , no , i see the bond between the two of you . i do . ravi : then why do you doubt that it could ever work ? phyllis : because i see it as purely friendship . nothing more . ravi : maybe you 're right . maybe not . you 're not the only one who 's concerned with my feelings . abby warned me about also getting involved . phyllis : abby , her daughter ... who 's around your age . ravi : okay . that 's true . i 'm a little younger than ashley . so what ? phyllis : `` a little `` ? ravi : ashley opened up to me about the quality she wants in a man . phyllis : oh , she did ? ravi : i told you we have a special connection . phyllis : mm - hmm . and you have a lot of these qualities ? ravi , i have seen the men that she has been with throughout the years . they are all about power and strength and titans of industry . ravi : and how -- how did her relationships with those cocky alpha males work out ? no , i - i would never hurt her the way that they have . phyllis : you know , i think if she was looking for a nice guy , she probably would have found him by now . i hear what you 're saying , that you like her , you know , and she likes you . just not in that way . you know , i think to protect your sanity , you got to let go of this quest . [ telephone buzzes ] ravi : this is ravi . ashley : hey , it 's ashley . i 'm glad i caught you . ravi : hey , ashley . what can i do for you ? ashley : i was wondering if i could talk to you . it 's kind of important . could you come to my office ? ravi : absolutely . whatever you need . hilary : i have no idea what 's going on with devon . mariah : well , you should have a clue with that kiss . according to trishelle from accounting , it was very steamy . hilary : well , trishelle from accounting did n't hear what he said before the kiss . he was trying to prove that as miserable as we are together , we are more miserable apart . mariah : so , proven ? hilary : i do n't know . [ sighs ] the kiss , it was ... it was amazing . but after the kiss , nothing , okay ? i have n't -- i have n't talked to him . i have n't seen him . totally mixed signals . mariah : well , i have heard of that before , you know , men being confused . he probably does n't know what he wants . hilary : you know what i think ? i think he was jealous of jordan . that 's why he kissed me . just because some other guy was interested . mariah : i think there 's probably a little bit more to it than that . hilary : no , it does n't matter , okay ? i 'm tired of devon and his games . we are gon na be adults . we are gon na move on . so , let 's go . let 's show the world exactly what devon 's missing . abby : your perspective on newman , it 's very eye - opening . neil : i worked there a lot of years , abby . abby : you even ran the place . i 've been studying financial records , company history . neil : you are so like your father . abby : [ chuckles ] neil , why did n't it work out for you ? neil : one essential factor . my last name . you know , victor toyed with the idea of leaving his company to people outside of his family for many , many years , but in the end , it boiled down to blood being thicker than loyalty and seniority . and when i finally realized that , i had to leave for good . abby : and the company suffered without you . neil : hmm . that 's nice of you to say . abby : it 's the truth . i have been dissecting some of the alliances that you scored for newman , and i got to tell you , they are still profiting the company to this day . neil : [ chuckles ] abby : and i was thinking that it would be an amazing coup if i could lure you back . neil : [ coughs ] abby : back to newman . neil : whoa . [ chuckles ] you 're ser -- no , i - i -- abby : yes . neil : no , i 'm gon na pass on that one . abby : why ? neil : uh , been there , left that . but i 'm happy to give you some occasional advice informally if you 'd like . abby : i 'd like that . so , what is your advice for today ? neil : listen to victor . follow your own instincts , and you should be fine . victor may give you hell , but if you survive it , in the end , it 'll pay off . abby : [ sighs ] [ camera shutter clicks ] jordan : love it , ladies . yes . [ camera shutter clicks ] hilary : um , how about this ? jordan : okay , yeah . [ camera shutter clicks ] jordan : okay , ladies . that 's it . mariah : yeah ? was any of that sexy or hot ? 'cause i do n't really know how to do that . [ chuckles ] jordan : we definitely got plenty of that . devon : what 's going on ? mariah : we are taking some publicity shots . oh , wow . hilary : wow . you made us look amazing . thank you . thank you . jordan : any time . hilary : okay , mariah , we have to go get ready for the show . mariah : all right . devon : hey , can i see some of the shots ? jordan : yeah , of course . man , i love these . hilary 's looking particularly hot . impressive . devon : hilary 's hotness ? jordan : you and her , working together with what 's going on . she -- she mentioned that you guys were separated . devon : that 's right . yeah , we are . jordan : hey , i do n't want to make things awkward , but i was thinking about asking hilary out on a date . would that be a problem with you ? devon : no . no , no . uh , she 's on her own , so , uh ... i do n't know if she 's gon na say yes , but do your thing . that 's fine . jordan : that 's fair enough , man . thanks for being so cool about that . devon : sure . jordan : all right , man . i 'll see you later . devon : yeah . lily : hello . cane : hello , there . lily : how are you ? cane : good . how are you ? you know , as , uh , as much as i would like a repeat of yesterday 's goodbye undress rehearsal performance , um , i think you and i need to talk first about , uh , my dad . lily : uh , yeah . i 'm gon na vote no on that . cane : yeah ? we still need to talk about it , baby . we have to talk about it . lily : okay , fine . what does colin want ? cane : he thinks that you want to kick him out of the house . lily : oh , of course . typical . always covering his options . cane : okay , well , are you considering it , or ... ? lily : look , i have been more than generous . cane : okay . and you 've been patient . lily : yes . and it 's just -- it 's too much to have him here if you 're not around . cane : all right . okay . lily : [ sighs ] okay , fine . fine . just tell me how long he 's planning on being here . cane : all right , look , it 's not gon na be much longer 'cause he thinks he 's close to finding a way to pay the money back he took from jill , okay ? then he and jill can patch things up , and they 'll be back together . lily : that 's great , but where did he find so much money so quickly ? cane : i do n't know . but he says it did n't involve any criminal activity , so ... lily : and you believed him . jill : you better have gotten my ring back . colin : too soon ? mariah : how in the world did you make me look that amazing ? jordan : i refuse to take credit for that . i had two beautiful women in front of the camera . all i had to do was aim and shoot . [ laughter ] hilary : i 'm sorry , guys , but i have to review my notes before we go on air . jordan : can i have a word real quick ? hilary : uh , yeah . sure . jordan : i was thinking maybe you and i could go out for drinks later . [ knock on door ] ashley : come in ! ravi : hey . ashley : hey . ravi : i brought my laptop in case you need me to take notes . ashley : oh . that wo n't be necessary . no note - taking today . ravi : okay . what 's up ? ashley : i just hope you know how much i value you , all the contributions you 've made . ravi : yeah , you 've been very generous and complimentary . ashley : i hope i have n't given you the wrong impression , ravi . ravi : about what ? ashley : our friendship . you know , our working relationship . what are you thinking ? ravi : i preferred your original thought . you said friendship . ashley : yeah . we are friends . ravi : good , 'cause i consider you one . ashley : we are definitely friends , but you need to know that we are never gon na be anything more than that . ravi : yeah . uh , was that it ? ashley : yeah . i guess so . is there something else ? ravi : why , ashley ? why is it so impossible for us to be more than friends ? jill : [ sighs ] what a nerve you have , trying to win me back using the wedding ring that phillip intended for me . colin : i meant not harm . i simply wanted to demonstrate that i 'd renew our vows if given the chance . jill , are you all right ? jill : you have no idea . all those years of torment i lived through . this ring could have changed everything . [ sighs ] you know something ? with all your selfishness and your greed , you really did me a huge favor . colin : i did ? jill : i could have died without knowing that this ring or that letter ever existed , because on some level , i do n't really think katherine wanted me to find them . colin : why would you think -- jill : because she hid the key so well . if i had n't kicked you out and if billy had n't sent your clothes off to charity , you never would have found that music box . you never would have found this ring . colin : yeah , well , it is beautiful . but now that you 've seen it and made peace with what it represents , you can use it to get what you really want . jill : what do you mean , what i really want ? colin : it 's worth more than what it would cost to buy control of fenmore 's , and then some . i mean , that ring could make you whole again , and i 'm hoping us whole , too . lily : i 'm just thinking who knows what kind of scam colin pulled to get his hands on all that money . and if he 's doing something illegal while he 's living in this house ? cane : okay , if anything causes danger for you or the kids , he 's out of here . lily : and no more second chances ? cane : not even half a chance . lily : [ sighs ] i miss you already . but you know what ? you 're gon na be brilliant . so knock 'em dead , okay ? cane : i love you . i love you , okay ? lily : i love you , too . cane : okay , baby . hilary : uh , i 'm actually free tonight , so drinks sound great . jordan : all right . perfect . devon : hey , mariah . mariah : hey . devon : hey , what did you think of your photo shoot ? it looked like it went well , right ? what do you think of jordan ? mariah : yeah , he 's an awesome photographer . um , i got to -- devon : he 's considering asking hilary out on a date , and he actually asked if i was okay with it . mariah : he did ? devon : yeah . mariah : oh , my god . oh , that 's -- that 's -- that 's great , 'cause i was worried that it was gon na be a big deal , you know , with them going out and getting drinks tonight , but now that you told him that it 's okay , that 's excellent . devon : hang on a second . she said yes to him ? jordan : i did run this by devon before i asked you out . hilary : you did ? jordan : yeah , i did n't want to make things weird , you know , with us working together . i hope that was cool . hilary : yeah , that was more than cool . jordan : all right , good . hilary : actually , do you want to stick around , watch my show ? jordan : i would love that . mariah : i thought that you gave jordan the green light on asking hilary out . devon : i -- you know , i - i did . i do n't have a problem with it . i just -- i 'm -- i 'm surprised because i did n't think he 's her type , you know ? but that 's what she wants , who am i to stop her ? [ both laugh ] ravi : i do n't want to hear any excuse about you being older than me . i mean , age is merely a number . we spend most of our days juggling numbers and manipulating math to a preferable outcome . ashley : it is more than a number . i mean , there is history , there 's life experience , there 's life lessons , there 's heartbreaks . are you kidding me ? i have lived through so many things you could never possibly imagine . ravi : that could be true of any woman i meet . i mean , if she 's from a different country or background . ashley : okay , that 's true . but if you 're with a younger woman -- ravi : you 've been in relationships with men of the same age with similar backgrounds . how did those work out ? ashley : yeah . okay , look , we have talked before about that line , right , between work and romance , ravi . ravi : take an honest assessment of jabot . i mean , it 's practically an incestuous infrastructure . you really think that line exists here ? ashley : [ laughs ] ravi : see ? and i make you laugh . ashley : [ sighs ] i do n't want to lose that . ravi : then ... ashley : ravi , people are already starting to notice how you feel about me . and for you to think that we could be more than friends is going to complicate things , and i 'm afraid it 's going to potentially ruin what we already have . ravi : of course , i 'll respect your wishes . it just seems to me like you 're more concerned with what people would think instead of what you may actually want . [ sighs ] jill : colin , i 'm not selling this ring . this is beyond priceless . colin : i saw the zeroes on the appraiser 's check . i mean , it 's definitely got -- jill : i 'm never selling this ring ! i 'm refusing to even consider it ! have you got that ? and as much as i 'd like to strangle katherine 's corpse right now ... she gave me this . this is a piece of phillip , and i know how much he loved me . i want to thank you , colin , for placing this ring in my hands . colin : i 'm touched that you 're so generous . does this mean that i 'm forgiven ? jill : i can never forgive katherine for withholding this from me . and i ca n't forgive you for lying to me and for stealing from me . colin : guess i 'm gon na have to accept that for now . but i 'm not giving up on us . phillip : no , jill , you 're not dreaming . i 'll have my freedom , and you and i can be married . jill : yes . yes , phillip .

[ rafe scoffs ] at least until jordan is better and healthy ? rafe : ah , i mean , i always did want kids of my own , but ... oh , and i do -- i love taking care of him , even when he 's screaming his head off in the middle of the night , but ... you know , he 's not mine . it 's not my place . lani : why not ? hey , jordan turned to you . she asked you to protect him , and why ca n't you ? rafe : because , well , i , you know . it 's not just my decision . i 'm not sure it 's what hope wants . hope : a lot of the time , i feel like ... i go from one crisis to another , eli . the pressures of this job ... eli : i get it . hope : rafe wants to be everyone 's rock . just not mine . eli ... i should be at the top of his list . eli : so ted laurent ... you 're at the top of his list . hope : eli ... eli : i care about you both , but when you wo n't even look me in the eye when i ask you about ted -- i mean , you wo n't even tell me what 's going on . i got ta admit , i start to think that you 're in love with the guy .

[ chuckles ] nikki : i brought the money you asked for . ian : i 'm sorry it had to turn out this way , nicole . truly , i am . but thank you for being so prompt . well , this is n't $ 5 million . where 's the rest of it ? jack : what has victor done to force you to allow him access to connor ? chelsea : no , he has n't forced me into anything . jack : what are you not saying , chelsea ? victor : chelsea has obviously told you everything she wants to at this moment . jack : and obviously you 'd like to keep me in the dark . i ca n't help but wonder why . you might wonder why , as well . chelsea : all right . i suppose you 're gon na find out about this eventually , anyway . jack : what ? what happened ? chelsea : chloe kidnapped connor and took him to paris . jack : what ? when ? chelsea : the night of the gala . she stole my passport and connor 's passport , and she flew to paris with him . victor : everything is under control right now , okay ? jack : i ca n't believe i 'm just now hearing about this . chelsea : we just -- we just got back . jack : why did n't you contact me as soon as it happened ? and why , in god 's name , did you contact victor ? ! victor : because it 's a family matter ! that 's why ! paul : it feels so good to finally have the carmine basco case closed . michael : mm - hmm . lauren : oh , tell me . we are so relieved that it 's over . paul : well , it would have been over so much sooner if the two of you had told me the truth from the beginning . lauren : well ... we -- we could n't . i mean , it was n't possible . it was just too much a risk . but you and christine were so good to us despite that . paul : over , forgotten . michael : great . so there 's no strain on the friendship . that 's great . paul : no , no . despite the fact that the two of you lied to me through your teeth , causing me to waste countless hours of my time , tearing me away from my new bride . michael : look at that . so there 's no grudge . that 's ... lauren : good . excellent . paul : none whatsoever . michael : but , you know [ clears throat ] if , perchance , there was a grudge , what would it take to make said grudge right ? paul : who 's paying for dinner ? michael : i 'm gon na go out on a limb here and say me . paul : you 're on the path to forgiveness . lauren : [ chuckles ] it was a good thing . kevin : you have to go back to the beginning . chloe : to which beginning ? when delia was born ? her first step ? her first word ? i think about that every day , kevin . kevin : you know what i mean . you have to go back to when you lost delia . chloe : i ca n't do that anymore . kevin : look , if you want to deal with your grief , you have to . chloe : what do you think i 've been doing ? kevin : taking chelsea 's son and going to france ? i think you 've been running . you ca n't do that anymore . you have to face delia 's death the -- the right way . chloe : there is no right way . kevin : fair enough . but there are ways that are less wrong than others , and so far , chloe , you 've been dealing with this the wrong way . i 'm sorry that happened to you . i am . i wish i 'd done more to help you . chloe : you tried . kevin : i should just never have left you alone , ever , and just kept yapping at you until you listened to me . chloe : no . i threw you out of my life more than once . i never even gave you a chance . kevin : i could have pushed harder . chloe : you did . you tried to tell me that my behavior was n't normal or rational , and ... i just did n't want to listen to you . you know , i cut you out of my life . i did n't want to see you , i did n't want to talk to you , and you can not blame yourself . i did all this . [ voice breaking ] my god . oh , what have i done ? kevin : hey . you were consumed by grief . chloe : oh , come on . that 's not an excuse . kevin : i did n't say it was an excuse , but it 's a reason . it 's the reason that all of this happened . i understand that . i think chelsea understands that . chloe : how is chelsea ever gon na understand what i did to her ? kevin : she does . that 's why she has n't pressed charges . look , we all love you , we care about you , and we all want to help you . chloe : [ sighs ] [ doorbell rings ] kevin : hey , edmonds . what are you guys doing here ? come on in . edmonds : chloe fisher ? chloe : yeah ? edmonds : you 're under arrest for kidnapping . kevin : edmonds , this is n't right . something got messed up somewhere . i 'm gon na call chelsea newman , and she 's gon na tell you that she was n't planning on pressing any charges . edmonds : do you understand your rights ? chloe : yeah . kevin : you know what ? call chavez or -- or call the chief . they 'll tell you that this is all just a big misunderstanding . edmonds : fisher , i - i 'm just doing my job . i got to bring her in . kevin : [ sighs ] paul : well , you know , now that things have calmed down , maybe chris and i can finally take that honeymoon we 've been postponing . michael : well , paul , it might help if you stopped micromanaging the station . paul : oh , says the workaholic . michael : really ? is that what i am ? a workaholic ? lauren : okay . there 's a lot to be said for time away with your wife . paul : i agree . fen ! fenmore : hello . michael : hi , fenmore . lauren : hi , baby . fenmore : i did n't know you guys were gon na here for dinner . lauren : yeah . paul : how 's it going ? fenmore : oh , it 's going good , chief . michael : join us . come on . lauren : yeah , come on . fenmore : ah , you know , any other time , sure , but i 'm actually here applying for a job . lauren : doing what ? fenmore : dishwasher , busboy . whatever they 've got while i 'm in between semesters at college . michael : my checkbook and i applaud your initiative . paul : yeah , me too . they could use some backup here . fenmore : on what ? paul : your dad being the biggest workaholic known to man . michael : you know , that 's not true . it is not true . fenmore : since what he does is so important , i understand putting in the long hours . and do n't ever tell him , but ... i 'm kind of proud of him . paul : [ chuckles ] your secret is safe with me . trust me . [ cell phone rings ] paul : i 'm sorry . work . williams . chloe fisher ? wh - what 's the charge ? all right . okay . i 'm on my way . lauren : did something happen with chloe ? [ cell phone rings ] paul : well , uh ... i 'm gon na have to take a rain check on dessert . michael : yeah , kevin . what 's up ? kevin : hey , mike , i need your help . chloe just got arrested . michael : arrested for what ? kevin : for kidnapping connor newman . paul : all right . sorry to cut this short . see you later . michael : all right , kevin . tell me everything you know . jack : a family matter ? is that what you think , chelsea ? victor : we just recovered chelsea 's baby . it had been kidnapped , and you 're now questioning her ? jack : actually , actions that i 've been questioning . victor : you 're questioning why she turned to me . jack : yes , that 's right . i am . victor : for your information , i 'm the grandfather . jack : and i am the child 's legal guardian , per adam 's request . your husband , connor 's father , requested this to avoid a situation just like this . chelsea : jack , i understand why you 're asking , and i 'm sorry that i did n't tell you what was happening in the moment . jack : okay , i do n't need an apology . chelsea : it 's just that adam -- he 's not here . even if he 's alive , he 's not here . all that mattered to me was bringing my son back . that 's all that mattered to me . jack : so , you called victor ? why ? victor : leave it alone , jack . this is petty , even for you . jack : i want to know why you went against your husband 's express wishes and contacted victor , knowing that i had the resources to help . chelsea : i did n't call victor , at first , for help . jack : so , how did he get involved , and how did he convince you to work around me ? chelsea : you 're making it sound like he 's blackmailing me or brainwashing me . he 's not . jack : why did you call him , chelsea ? chelsea : because i thought that he was involved , at first . at first , i thought maybe he was helping chloe to take connor . jack : a reasonable fear . victor : you tread carefully , all right ? nikki : i do n't understand . did i make a mistake ? ian : yes . this is not what i asked for . nikki : i - i must have misunderstood . it was so confusing . ian : no , it was simple . nikki : that 's $ 1 million in cash . ian : excellent . i asked for $ 5 million . nikki : oh , well , that is quite a difference , is n't it ? it -- it 's just -- i 'm confused . what is the arrangement again ? wh - what do i get for my $ 5 million ? ian : you give me the money , i leave town , i stop bothering your family , especially that lovely girl , summer -- so impressionable , so eager . nikki : you did n't touch her . ian : my dealings with your not - quite granddaughter have been chaste . i cross my heart . but if i do n't get the rest of my money , i ca n't promise it 's gon na remain that wholesome . nikki : the rest of the money is downstairs in my car . ian : well , good . you mean that whole `` what did i do wrong ? `` bit was an act ? to what end ? nikki : trying to save myself $ 4 million . you would have done the same . ian : [ chuckles ] i would have . [ chuckles ] come on . let 's go get my money . nikki : hold it . on one condition . i want you to promise that you wo n't manipulate summer the way you did me . ian : oh , now , there you go again , nicole , you know , rewriting history . how can you do that when i have such fond memories of our time together ? nikki : do n't insult my intelligence . ian : i was complimenting your ardor . nikki : [ scoffs ] how dare you ? ian : i was merely ... nikki : lying . you were lying . ian : ... remembering . nikki : stop painting that assault as something consensual . ian : it was . nikki : if you do n't stop lying about me being a willing participant in that encounter , i 'm gon na call the police . ian : and what would that accomplish ? it 's long past the time that you could be making , uh , criminal allegations . and i 'm not doing anything wrong now . nikki : oh , i do n't think paul will see it that way once i tell him what you 've been up to with summer . ian : counseling her ? nikki : i 'll show him the picture that you sent me of you and summer . ian : oh , a little innocent snapshot of two people sitting in a room near a bed . nikki : you know he 's the police chief now . he knows all about you . he knows about everything you did to me . ian : i told you i will leave the girl alone . that 's what you wanted , is n't it ? nikki : i want one more thing . ian : hmm . nikki : i want you to admit the truth about what you did to me . ian : [ sighs , chuckles ] kevin : wait , paul . paul . i do n't get why chloe 's being arrested . paul : she 's being charged with a crime . kevin : so , did chelsea change her mind and decide to press charges ? why is this happening ? paul : it 's not up to her . kevin : sure it is . it 's her kid . it 's her call . paul : the minute chelsea reported her son missing and suspected chloe , it became a federal matter , kevin . she 's being charged with the kidnapping of a minor . chelsea : i was scared . i panicked . jack : and your first instinct was that victor was helping chloe kidnap your child . chelsea : jack , my fears were completely irrational . the second i told victor what chloe had done , that she had taken my son , he took control . jack : oh , i 'll just bet he did . victor : chelsea , you do not owe this man any explanation . chelsea : yes , i do , for two reasons . jack is my son 's godfather , and victor had nothing to do with chloe taking connor . jack : are you sure about that ? chelsea : yes . it was victor 's idea to check about the passports . that 's how we tracked chloe to paris . jack : why did n't you just call the police ? chelsea : i did the second i realized connor was missing , but they could n't act fast enough . victor called his pilot . he called his friend at the state department . they got me an expedited visa . before i knew it , we were on our way to paris . jack : and how did you track chloe down ? chelsea : well , i had n't even considered what i would do once i landed . i had no idea how i would find her . jack : but , somehow , you figured it out . victor : you bet . jack : and chloe just handed you the baby ? chelsea : well , victor was able to talk her down , convince her to give me my son back . if it was n't for him , i mean , i do n't know what would have happened . i could have lost connor forever . victor : this is over now , okay ? do n't you worry anymore . nikki : i want to hear you say it , finally , after all these years . ian : what words do you want , nicole ? i would n't want to misspeak . nikki : that ours was not a consensual relationship . ian : you know , it saddens me to see you abdicating your free will . nikki : abdicating ? ! ian : you 've created this myth that you 're a weak person , a victim . and you spent your whole life retelling that story , enslaving yourself to it . nikki : i was weak back then . i so much wanted to be loved by someone . i wanted to be important to someone . ian : that 's right . and you made a choice then -- nikki : and i 'm making a choice now . i 'm not gon na let you coerce or shame me like you did when i was so young and i could n't talk back to you . here 's an aphorism for you -- the truth will set you free . ian : what , your truth , nicole ? is that what it will take to appease you -- for me to regurgitate your version of what happened between us ? [ chuckles ] nikki : after what you took from me , it 's a hell of a deal . ian : huh . or nikki : or you do n't get your money . put that on your path and step in it . ian : uh - huh . as you say . it was a shame the way things happened -- a missed opportunity for you , nicole . nikki : say it . say what you did . ian : i ... wanted you . i believed you wanted me . nikki : and i did n't want you . say it . ian : if only you had allowed yourself to feel as i did . it would have been a beautiful experience for you . nikki : oh , my god . i overestimated you . you would n't know the truth if it knocked you over . ian : hmm . all right . [ sighs ] nikki : all right . let 's go get your damn money . nick : mom . nikki : oh , nicholas . i got summer out of here . i warned her about ian , so there 's really no need for you two to be here . dylan : sure there is . nick : i found summer 's bracelet in your hotel room . nikki : nothing happened . she 's fine . nick : how about you ? nikki : i 'm fine . he can never hurt me again . dylan : can you , uh , make sure nikki gets home ? i 'd like to have a few words with ian . nikki : he 's not worth it . dylan : no , but you are . nick : come on , mom . let 's go . you gon na finish the conversation i started with this guy ? dylan : sure am . ian : well , it 's a lovely thing that mother / son bond . i mean , how can you call it anything but what it is -- a gift , huh ? fenmore : what do you think is going on with uncle kevin and chloe ? lauren : i do n't know . i 'm sure we 'll get details later . fenmore : yeah , unless it 's privileged . lauren : that 's true . fenmore : dad downplayed that , but ... it sounded seriously legal . lauren : now , i want to tell you . it meant a lot to your dad , what you said earlier . fenmore : oh , i used to be ashamed of dad 's job . lauren : really ? but he helps people . fenmore : no , i - i - i - i get that now , but him being a former d.a . , it was -- lauren : well , i know it did n't help you make friends in prison , but ... fenmore : how did you guess ? lauren : but that 's behind you now . fenmore : yes , yes . um ... but not all the way . lauren : what 's the matter , honey ? are you having , like , nightmares or something ? fenmore : prison made me better , mom . i know -- you never expected that , huh ? [ chuckles ] lauren : you hated that place . fenmore : oh , more than you know . when i was sleeping , eating , showering , or ... just even breathing , i just -- i , um -- i was terrified that , you know , i was gon na die in there , but that made me , maybe for the first time in my life , just appreciate what i 've got . lauren : i 'm really glad to hear that . fenmore : and ... i want to be a lawyer like dad . lauren : [ chuckles ] fenmore : think that sounds crazy . lauren : no . fenmore : well , then , why are you -- lauren : you know , i was -- i was just thinking about the long , hard road that it took your dad to regain his law license , that 's all . fenmore : yeah , but that -- because of prison . and , i mean , but that -- that woke dad up and turned him around , too , right ? i get that . i want to help people who have screwed up like i did , get them their second chance . lauren : you want to be a defense attorney ? fenmore : or a prosecutor , get people justice who have been hurt by guys like carmine or womack . lauren : you have it in you , baby . you do . fenmore : you know , i just -- i want to do it right , so i - i need some help forming some sort of game plan . lauren : okay . what do you want to do ? you want to take a class ? what do you want ? fenmore : actually , summer -- she just started seeing this life coach about finding her path . she seems really excited about what this particular guy can do for her . michael : look , i just need to hear what -- [ knock on door ] summer : uh , hi . uh , please . i need to talk to you . paul : summer , i 'm right in the middle of something important . summer : i know , but it 's about my grandma . i think that she 's in trouble . paul : all right . let 's take this outside . nikki 's in trouble ? what happened ? summer : she made me leave . she 's still with him . paul : she 's where ? where -- who 's she with ? summer : this guy that i met . he 's a life coach . his name is john darwin , except that 's not him name . i do n't know . i was at his office , and then she showed up , and she was really mad and -- paul : what did nikki say ? summer : that he 's not really a life coach . he 's some con man that just preys off of young women , and then when i was leaving , she -- paul : you left her there alone ? summer : she made me , and that 's when i heard her say that she 's gon na pay this guy off . paul : okay , summer . you did the right thing coming to me . have a seat . kevin : oh , whoa , whoa , whoa . no , no , no , no . none of this is gon na be difficult at all . chloe did n't do anything wrong , and i can swear by that . chelsea : i needed help . victor was here , and he gave it . he did n't make any of this happen . there was no manipulation . jack : you sure about that ? chelsea : yeah , jack . i was here . victor : chelsea , please do n't waste your breath with him , okay ? he 's not interested in the truth . he 's only interested in constructing his own version thereof . jack : i 'm only concerned with protecting the child . victor : as is my concern . jack : the way you protected adam ? chelsea : as much as adam wanted to break free from his father , he also desperately wanted a relationship with him . jack : yes , which victor withheld again and again . victor : and , again , you do n't know what the hell you 're talking about . this is none of your business . jack : adam was my friend . it is most certainly my business . chelsea : it 's not as simple as it seems , jack . i mean , not everybody has a great father like you -- you had . jack : wait , that does n't excuse -- victor : there was a crisis , jack . and i did want anyone would have done under the circumstances . jack : i 'm not sure it 's what i would have done . victor : give me a break . chelsea : would n't you have helped -- helped me do whatever it took to get connor home ? jack : of course i would have . chelsea : 'cause that 's really all that victor did . there was no motivation , just trying to do right by his son and his grandson . jack : yeah , is that what he told you ? victor : that 's what it is . jack : i realize , on the face of it , victor appears to be nothing more than a concerned grandfather . chelsea : that 's what he 's been . jack : or he framed his actions to appear that way . chelsea : why would he do that ? jack : for your benefit . he showed you what he wanted you to see . chelsea : jack , i saw what i saw . jack : okay . let me guess what that was . he showed up exactly when he needed to with all of the answers -- answers , transportation , an expedited visa . victor : give it a rest , jack . jack : and then there was the long flight . what then ? heartfelt conversation , kindness , compassion ? avows that he had no ulterior motive , that he felt driven by remorse , that he wanted to set things right . victor : chelsea , do n't buy into this , okay ? and , jack , why do n't you give it a rest for a day , trying to one - up me ? jack : you really think that 's what this is ? victor : you bet this is what it is . you want my wife , you want my son , now you want my grandson . and you 're capitalizing on that poor woman 's pain right now . jack : i 'm trying to save her from pain , a lifetime of it . victor : i am helping her . jack : that 's right , until you turn on her and take her son . you do n't honestly think this is the end of this . victor : do n't let him manipulate you , chelsea . jack : no manipulation necessary . as you said , it 's what it is . chelsea , think about this -- who has the most to gain in this ? you 're playing right into his hand . victor : maybe she turned to the man she knew would help her recover her kidnapped child . kevin : i 'm sorry that i was in such a panic when i called you . michael : it 's a scary situation . kevin : sure . the cops show up out of nowhere , start right in reading rights , they handcuffed chloe . i mean , how would anybody react ? michael : you want to tell me about it ? kevin : there 's nothing to tell , really . chloe was freaked out . i was freaked out . but it is gon na be so easy to get is all squared away . michael : why do you say that ? kevin : because it was all just a misunderstanding . michael : you mean the fbi got it wrong , that chloe did n't take chelsea 's child out of the country ? kevin : no . she did . but chelsea wanted chloe to take connor to paris . michael : they planned it ? kevin : yeah , absolutely . chelsea intended to -- to meet them . it was all arranged . michael : well , that seems odd . why would chelsea ask chloe -- kevin : listen , listen , listen . chloe and chelsea are business partners , and chloe is also connor 's godmother . so , chloe was taking him over there to settle up with some house business -- you know , chelsea bought a house in paris . chelsea was supposed to be right behind them so they could transact some business for their clothing line . michael : and chelsea 's gon na back this story up ? kevin : of course . why would n't she ? it 's the truth . chloe : no , it 's not . nikki : i hope dylan wo n't do anything reckless . nick : oh , it wo n't be reckless . nikki : well , i 've already assured both of you that ian is not going to be a problem anymore . nick : look , it 's not dylan 's fault if he has an opinion of him . if he wants to express that opinion by rearranging his face , then ...

[ chuckles ] oh , no . just some cash , you know , that i like to carry from town to town . it makes it easier , you know ? paul : of course . because it leaves no trace . so , it 's your contention that this bag of money belongs to you ? ian : yes , of course . paul : did you pick the flowered print yourself ? ian : no . [ chuckles ] the bag was a gift . the contents , however , are mine . paul : dylan , how long have you been here ? did you see nikki give him the money ? dylan : no , he had it by the time we got here . ian : well , thank you for telling the truth , son . it 's very admirable . dylan : it 's clearly nikki 's money . she paid him off . ian : well , if nikki -- if she has n't , uh , lost a large sum of money , i do n't see what the problem is . paul : the problem is that we all know you extorted it . ian : yes , but if nikki does n't file a complaint and there are no witnesses , there 's really not much of a case , is there ? paul : there will be . you see , i let nikki down years ago . i 'm not about to do it again . ian : it 's really rewarding to see that , uh , you and nikki have remained bonded from your wonderful experience at new world . you should have seen him , dylan -- blond hair , blue eyes , oh , muscles . paul : you know , there were no beautiful experiences at new world , and you ca n't whitewash the history with me , because i was there . ian : yes , you were there . and in your words , you let nikki down . paul : you know , that kid with the hair and all the muscles ? he could n't have seen what you were trying to do , but i 'm older ... and maybe just a little bit smarter , and you ca n't manipulate me . and i get to say something to you that kid only wishes he could have . ian : what is that ? paul : you 're under arrest . [ zips bag ] kevin : chloe , it 's just like i said . chloe : no , kevin . kevin : yes , it is , please . michael : what happened ? kevin : do n't do this . chloe : i 'm not gon na lie . i kidnapped connor . and i never intended to come back . jack : if you do n't give victor what he wants , he will use this kidnapping against you . chelsea : that 's not possible . jack : he will use it against you even if you give him unfettered access to connor . chelsea : how could he -- victor : jack , stay out of this . this is none of your business . jack : i am connor 's godfather . it is damn sure my business . you 're being set up , sweetheart . victor is gon na have you declared an unfit mother .

[ groans ] paul : oh , oh ! are you okay ? let me see . michael : yes , i am fine , but how can a door be such a hazard ? i could have been knocked unconscious just -- just lying there , spinning for hours . paul : no , no . we would have discovered your drying carcass and i would have had you removed in 5 , 10 minutes flat , easy . michael : [ sniffs ] paul : you look okay . michael : it 's good to see you outside of the station , too , paul . is christine here ? paul : uh , no . she 's prepping for a case . it 's not bleeding , right ? michael : [ sniffs ] paul : actually , i just came in to pick up a sandwich , and then i got to get back to my office . michael : no , no . you 're gon na have dinner with lauren and me . paul : oh , that 's -- that 's very nice of you to offer , but i do n't want to intrude . michael : that 's nonsense . what are you talking about ? when have you ever been an intruder ? paul : well , we have n't spent a lot of time socially together in the last few months . michael : yeah . everything 's behind us now , paul . why do n't -- you know , would n't it be nice just to sit down and have a meal and laugh like we used to ? paul : you mean without the threat of me sending you or your son to the big house . [ both chuckle ] paul : look , we 're laughing , just like you said . michael : yeah . exactly . we 've been on the opposite side of so many matters lately , but it 's a whole new day . everything is free and clear , so just let 's sit down and break bread . paul : well , i ca n't really , michael . michael : you can . and i know that you 're gon na have dinner with us tonight . paul : oh , really ? how can you be so sure ? michael : i can be so sure because i have a secret weapon that you have never been able to say `` no `` to . lauren : hi . how you doing ? paul : hi ! wow , you look great . lauren : oh , you too . are you joining us for dinner ? paul : of course . lauren : aww , that 's so great . all right , well , let 's grab a table . paul : okay . shut up . kevin : i could finish that for you . chloe : it 's like -- it 's like after delia died . kevin : connor is still here . chloe : not for me . first i lose my daughter , and now ... chelsea 's never gon na let me see my godson ever again . kevin : maybe after some time has passed . chloe : i 'm never gon na see him again , kevin . i kidnapped her son . chelsea 's never gon na forgive me for that . jack : sorry i did n't call first . i was in the area . i thought i might squeeze a few minutes in with my godson . chelsea : uh ... victor : boy 's fast asleep . chelsea : thanks for bringing the monitor down . victor : yep . chelsea : since connor 's sleeping , maybe tomorrow would be better . jack : what the hell is going on here ? victor : let me ask you -- what the hell are you doing here ? what i 'm doing here should be obvious . nick : i keep getting summer 's voicemail . if that bastard laid a hand on her -- dylan : let 's just figure out where they could be . help me look . nick : get in the mind of this sick freak . what are we even looking for ? wait , wait , wait . i got something here . dylan : what is it ? nick : it 's a receipt for payment to a realty company . dylan : he bought a house here ? nick : no , he rented office space . it 's paid through the end of the month . it 's close to here . dylan : let 's go . summer : why are you acting like that ? why are you saying those things about him ? ian : perhaps your grandmother has me confused with someone else . nikki : oh , i 'm not confused . ian : well , obviously there 's nothing untoward going on here . summer : no , nothing like that . no . ian : summer came to me for help with her life and career guidance . summer : yeah . he 's helping me find my path . nikki : helping you ? he 's a criminal . he 's a con man . ian : i 've dedicated my life to helping young people who are confused and searching . if that 's a crime -- summer : okay , no . there 's got to be some sort of mistake here . who 's telling you these things about him ? nikki : this man is not your friend . he is not a life coach . he knows nothing about an honest day 's work . he 's never done it . ian : perhaps i should speak to your grandmother privately . nikki : and he preys on young girls . summer : okay , mr. darwin does n't -- nikki : darwin ? ! darwin 's not even his real name . summer : okay , what 's going on here ? ian : a simple misunderstanding . nikki : summer , you have to get out of here . now . now ! ian : i think that 's a good idea i welcome the opportunity to speak with your grandmother and clear up a few apparent misconceptions . nikki : please go , honey . ian : it 's all right . [ chuckles ] nikki : i brought the money you asked for . ian : i 'm sorry it had to turn out this way , nicole . truly , i am . but thank you for being so prompt . well , this is n't $ 5 million . where 's the rest of it ? jack : what has victor done to force you to allow him access to connor ? chelsea : no , he has n't forced me into anything . jack : what are you not saying , chelsea ? victor : chelsea has obviously told you everything she wants to at this moment . jack : and obviously you 'd like to keep me in the dark . i ca n't help but wonder why . you might wonder why , as well . chelsea : all right . i suppose you 're gon na find out about this eventually , anyway . jack : what ? what happened ? chelsea : chloe kidnapped connor and took him to paris . jack : what ? when ? chelsea : the night of the gala . she stole my passport and connor 's passport , and she flew to paris with him . victor : everything is under control right now , okay ? jack : i ca n't believe i 'm just now hearing about this . chelsea : we just -- we just got back . jack : why did n't you contact me as soon as it happened ? and why , in god 's name , did you contact victor ? ! victor : because it 's a family matter ! that 's why ! paul : it feels so good to finally have the carmine basco case closed . michael : mm - hmm . lauren : oh , tell me . we are so relieved that it 's over . paul : well , it would have been over so much sooner if the two of you had told me the truth from the beginning . lauren : well ... we -- we could n't . i mean , it was n't possible . it was just too much a risk . but you and christine were so good to us despite that . paul : over , forgotten . michael : great . so there 's no strain on the friendship . that 's great . paul : no , no . despite the fact that the two of you lied to me through your teeth , causing me to waste countless hours of my time , tearing me away from my new bride . michael : look at that . so there 's no grudge . that 's ... lauren : good . excellent . paul : none whatsoever . michael : but , you know [ clears throat ] if , perchance , there was a grudge , what would it take to make said grudge right ? paul : who 's paying for dinner ? michael : i 'm gon na go out on a limb here and say me . paul : you 're on the path to forgiveness . lauren : [ chuckles ] it was a good thing . kevin : you have to go back to the beginning . chloe : to which beginning ? when delia was born ? her first step ? her first word ? i think about that every day , kevin . kevin : you know what i mean . you have to go back to when you lost delia . chloe : i ca n't do that anymore . kevin : look , if you want to deal with your grief , you have to . chloe : what do you think i 've been doing ? kevin : taking chelsea 's son and going to france ? i think you 've been running . you ca n't do that anymore . you have to face delia 's death the -- the right way . chloe : there is no right way . kevin : fair enough . but there are ways that are less wrong than others , and so far , chloe , you 've been dealing with this the wrong way . i 'm sorry that happened to you . i am . i wish i 'd done more to help you . chloe : you tried . kevin : i should just never have left you alone , ever , and just kept yapping at you until you listened to me . chloe : no . i threw you out of my life more than once . i never even gave you a chance . kevin : i could have pushed harder . chloe : you did . you tried to tell me that my behavior was n't normal or rational , and ... i just did n't want to listen to you . you know , i cut you out of my life . i did n't want to see you , i did n't want to talk to you , and you can not blame yourself . i did all this . [ voice breaking ] my god . oh , what have i done ? kevin : hey . you were consumed by grief . chloe : oh , come on . that 's not an excuse . kevin : i did n't say it was an excuse , but it 's a reason . it 's the reason that all of this happened . i understand that . i think chelsea understands that . chloe : how is chelsea ever gon na understand what i did to her ? kevin : she does . that 's why she has n't pressed charges . look , we all love you , we care about you , and we all want to help you . chloe : [ sighs ] [ doorbell rings ] kevin : hey , edmonds . what are you guys doing here ? come on in . edmonds : chloe fisher ? chloe : yeah ? edmonds : you 're under arrest for kidnapping . kevin : edmonds , this is n't right . something got messed up somewhere . i 'm gon na call chelsea newman , and she 's gon na tell you that she was n't planning on pressing any charges . edmonds : do you understand your rights ? chloe : yeah . kevin : you know what ? call chavez or -- or call the chief . they 'll tell you that this is all just a big misunderstanding . edmonds : fisher , i - i 'm just doing my job . i got to bring her in . kevin : [ sighs ] paul : well , you know , now that things have calmed down , maybe chris and i can finally take that honeymoon we 've been postponing . michael : well , paul , it might help if you stopped micromanaging the station . paul : oh , says the workaholic . michael : really ? is that what i am ? a workaholic ? lauren : okay . there 's a lot to be said for time away with your wife . paul : i agree . fen ! fenmore : hello . michael : hi , fenmore . lauren : hi , baby . fenmore : i did n't know you guys were gon na here for dinner . lauren : yeah . paul : how 's it going ? fenmore : oh , it 's going good , chief . michael : join us . come on . lauren : yeah , come on . fenmore : ah , you know , any other time , sure , but i 'm actually here applying for a job . lauren : doing what ? fenmore : dishwasher , busboy . whatever they 've got while i 'm in between semesters at college . michael : my checkbook and i applaud your initiative . paul : yeah , me too . they could use some backup here . fenmore : on what ? paul : your dad being the biggest workaholic known to man . michael : you know , that 's not true . it is not true . fenmore : since what he does is so important , i understand putting in the long hours . and do n't ever tell him , but ... i 'm kind of proud of him . paul : [ chuckles ] your secret is safe with me . trust me .

[ chuckles ] nikki : after what you took from me , it 's a hell of a deal . ian : huh . or nikki : or you do n't get your money . put that on your path and step in it . ian : uh - huh . as you say . it was a shame the way things happened -- a missed opportunity for you , nicole . nikki : say it . say what you did . ian : i ... wanted you . i believed you wanted me . nikki : and i did n't want you . say it . ian : if only you had allowed yourself to feel as i did . it would have been a beautiful experience for you . nikki : oh , my god . i overestimated you . you would n't know the truth if it knocked you over . ian : hmm . all right . [ sighs ] nikki : all right . let 's go get your damn money . nick : mom . nikki : oh , nicholas . i got summer out of here . i warned her about ian , so there 's really no need for you two to be here . dylan : sure there is . nick : i found summer 's bracelet in your hotel room . nikki : nothing happened . she 's fine . nick : how about you ? nikki : i 'm fine . he can never hurt me again . dylan : can you , uh , make sure nikki gets home ? i 'd like to have a few words with ian . nikki : he 's not worth it . dylan : no , but you are . nick : come on , mom . let 's go . you gon na finish the conversation i started with this guy ? dylan : sure am . ian : well , it 's a lovely thing that mother / son bond . i mean , how can you call it anything but what it is -- a gift , huh ? fenmore : what do you think is going on with uncle kevin and chloe ? lauren : i do n't know . i 'm sure we 'll get details later . fenmore : yeah , unless it 's privileged . lauren : that 's true . fenmore : dad downplayed that , but ... it sounded seriously legal . lauren : now , i want to tell you . it meant a lot to your dad , what you said earlier . fenmore : oh , i used to be ashamed of dad 's job . lauren : really ? but he helps people . fenmore : no , i - i - i - i get that now , but him being a former d.a . , it was -- lauren : well , i know it did n't help you make friends in prison , but ... fenmore : how did you guess ? lauren : but that 's behind you now . fenmore : yes , yes . um ... but not all the way . lauren : what 's the matter , honey ? are you having , like , nightmares or something ? fenmore : prison made me better , mom . i know -- you never expected that , huh ? [ chuckles ] lauren : you hated that place . fenmore : oh , more than you know . when i was sleeping , eating , showering , or ... just even breathing , i just -- i , um -- i was terrified that , you know , i was gon na die in there , but that made me , maybe for the first time in my life , just appreciate what i 've got . lauren : i 'm really glad to hear that . fenmore : and ... i want to be a lawyer like dad . lauren : [ chuckles ] fenmore : think that sounds crazy . lauren : no . fenmore : well , then , why are you -- lauren : you know , i was -- i was just thinking about the long , hard road that it took your dad to regain his law license , that 's all . fenmore : yeah , but that -- because of prison . and , i mean , but that -- that woke dad up and turned him around , too , right ? i get that . i want to help people who have screwed up like i did , get them their second chance . lauren : you want to be a defense attorney ? fenmore : or a prosecutor , get people justice who have been hurt by guys like carmine or womack . lauren : you have it in you , baby . you do . fenmore : you know , i just -- i want to do it right , so i - i need some help forming some sort of game plan . lauren : okay . what do you want to do ? you want to take a class ? what do you want ? fenmore : actually , summer -- she just started seeing this life coach about finding her path . she seems really excited about what this particular guy can do for her . michael : look , i just need to hear what -- [ knock on door ] summer : uh , hi . uh , please . i need to talk to you . paul : summer , i 'm right in the middle of something important . summer : i know , but it 's about my grandma . i think that she 's in trouble . paul : all right . let 's take this outside . nikki 's in trouble ? what happened ? summer : she made me leave . she 's still with him . paul : she 's where ? where -- who 's she with ? summer : this guy that i met . he 's a life coach . his name is john darwin , except that 's not him name . i do n't know . i was at his office , and then she showed up , and she was really mad and -- paul : what did nikki say ? summer : that he 's not really a life coach . he 's some con man that just preys off of young women , and then when i was leaving , she -- paul : you left her there alone ? summer : she made me , and that 's when i heard her say that she 's gon na pay this guy off . paul : okay , summer . you did the right thing coming to me . have a seat . kevin : oh , whoa , whoa , whoa . no , no , no , no . none of this is gon na be difficult at all . chloe did n't do anything wrong , and i can swear by that . chelsea : i needed help . victor was here , and he gave it . he did n't make any of this happen . there was no manipulation . jack : you sure about that ? chelsea : yeah , jack . i was here . victor : chelsea , please do n't waste your breath with him , okay ? he 's not interested in the truth . he 's only interested in constructing his own version thereof . jack : i 'm only concerned with protecting the child . victor : as is my concern . jack : the way you protected adam ? chelsea : as much as adam wanted to break free from his father , he also desperately wanted a relationship with him . jack : yes , which victor withheld again and again . victor : and , again , you do n't know what the hell you 're talking about . this is none of your business . jack : adam was my friend . it is most certainly my business . chelsea : it 's not as simple as it seems , jack . i mean , not everybody has a great father like you -- you had . jack : wait , that does n't excuse -- victor : there was a crisis , jack . and i did want anyone would have done under the circumstances . jack : i 'm not sure it 's what i would have done . victor : give me a break . chelsea : would n't you have helped -- helped me do whatever it took to get connor home ? jack : of course i would have . chelsea : 'cause that 's really all that victor did . there was no motivation , just trying to do right by his son and his grandson . jack : yeah , is that what he told you ? victor : that 's what it is . jack : i realize , on the face of it , victor appears to be nothing more than a concerned grandfather . chelsea : that 's what he 's been . jack : or he framed his actions to appear that way . chelsea : why would he do that ? jack : for your benefit . he showed you what he wanted you to see . chelsea : jack , i saw what i saw . jack : okay . let me guess what that was . he showed up exactly when he needed to with all of the answers -- answers , transportation , an expedited visa . victor : give it a rest , jack . jack : and then there was the long flight . what then ? heartfelt conversation , kindness , compassion ? avows that he had no ulterior motive , that he felt driven by remorse , that he wanted to set things right . victor : chelsea , do n't buy into this , okay ? and , jack , why do n't you give it a rest for a day , trying to one - up me ? jack : you really think that 's what this is ? victor : you bet this is what it is . you want my wife , you want my son , now you want my grandson . and you 're capitalizing on that poor woman 's pain right now . jack : i 'm trying to save her from pain , a lifetime of it . victor : i am helping her . jack : that 's right , until you turn on her and take her son . you do n't honestly think this is the end of this . victor : do n't let him manipulate you , chelsea . jack : no manipulation necessary . as you said , it 's what it is . chelsea , think about this -- who has the most to gain in this ? you 're playing right into his hand . victor : maybe she turned to the man she knew would help her recover her kidnapped child . kevin : i 'm sorry that i was in such a panic when i called you . michael : it 's a scary situation . kevin : sure . the cops show up out of nowhere , start right in reading rights , they handcuffed chloe . i mean , how would anybody react ? michael : you want to tell me about it ? kevin : there 's nothing to tell , really . chloe was freaked out . i was freaked out . but it is gon na be so easy to get is all squared away . michael : why do you say that ? kevin : because it was all just a misunderstanding . michael : you mean the fbi got it wrong , that chloe did n't take chelsea 's child out of the country ? kevin : no . she did . but chelsea wanted chloe to take connor to paris . michael : they planned it ? kevin : yeah , absolutely . chelsea intended to -- to meet them . it was all arranged . michael : well , that seems odd . why would chelsea ask chloe -- kevin : listen , listen , listen . chloe and chelsea are business partners , and chloe is also connor 's godmother . so , chloe was taking him over there to settle up with some house business -- you know , chelsea bought a house in paris . chelsea was supposed to be right behind them so they could transact some business for their clothing line . michael : and chelsea 's gon na back this story up ? kevin : of course . why would n't she ? it 's the truth . chloe : no , it 's not . nikki : i hope dylan wo n't do anything reckless . nick : oh , it wo n't be reckless . nikki : well , i 've already assured both of you that ian is not going to be a problem anymore . nick : look , it 's not dylan 's fault if he has an opinion of him . if he wants to express that opinion by rearranging his face , then ...

[ scene_break ] paul : did sofie report this so - called crime ? margo : no , not officially . meg : so , why are you here ? margo : because i 'm concerned . i went to talk to sofie about what happened . paul : what allegedly happened . she 's delusional . margo : obviously , she 's been traumatized . meg : paul did not rape her . paul : no , i rejected her , which , last time i checked , was legal in the state of illinois . margo : let 's just say , for argument 's sake , that there is some truth to sofie 's accusations . meg : no . so , why discuss it ? margo : because it 's my job , so we will . paul : oh , so -- so , this is optional ? margo : now , there are very many reasons why sofie might not come forward -- fear , shame , worry about the future of her business . paul : well , she should be worried . talk about how not to win friends and influence investors . meg : paul , let 's just hear what margo has to say . paul : no , she 's accusing me of rape ! margo : no ! no , i 'm not . i want us to just have a simple conversation . this is strictly optional . paul : well , i am opting to not volunteer , because sofie duran lives in a fantasy world , and there 's no way i 'm going to let her drag me down into her nonsense .

[ scene_break ] mike : you treat women like trash , and it 's about time somebody called you on it . paul : i did n't treat her like trash . i believed in her talents . i encouraged her to use her skills . i gave her money to start her business . mike : and you assumed that gave you rights . paul : no . mike : you thought that she owed you , and you asked for payback and she refused , so you forced yourself on her . paul : is that what she said happened ? mike : she is a gullible kid . you took advantage of her in the worst possible way . but you will not get away with it . and i hear they hate rapists in prison . paul : you 're lucky we 're surrounded by cops . mike : get used to it . paul : she 's playing you , mike . i did n't do anything to sofie , and soon the world will know that she 's a liar and that you 're a stupid idiot for believing her . [ scene_break ] sofie : paul invested in my jewelry line with his mother . i do n't know the exact amount . margo : that 's all right . what i really need are just the details of what happened the night in question . now , you said the incident -- sofie : he raped me . margo : happened after you left the lakeview , after you left the party ? sofie : it was the best night of my life , and i did n't want to just go upstairs , so -- so paul invited me back to his place for a drink . margo : and , now , you had been to fairwinds before ? sofie : many , many times . many times to help barbara while she was sick . and i did n't want to be alone , so i went . but paul -- he wanted to -- margo : sofie , i 'm sorry , but you have to say the words . sofie : he wanted to make love . have sex . but i did n't . i wanted to keep the relationship strictly professional , and when i told him that , he got so angry . margo : all right , it 's okay . take a deep breath , okay ? just relax . i know it 's difficult . sofie : i want to forget it , but i ca n't , 'cause it just keeps playing over and over in my mind . margo : i totally understand . please just keep breathing .

kerry : the most incestuous , though ? very . too far ? jack : no , no , no , no . you 're right on the money . kerry : everyone 's related , everyone has their own complicated history ... jack : most notably billy , phyllis , and yours truly . kerry : since you 're mentioning it , i guess the topic is n't off - limits . jack : phyllis and i had our time . so did she and billy . it turns out , some of those times were concurrent , and that was n't easy . for any of us . but , you know what , we all survived . kerry : it 's a very generous way of seeing things . jack : yeah , there 's enough pain to go around . we do n't need to wish it on each other . well , except maybe sometimes . i 'm past the whole phyllis thing . for a while , there , i wondered . kerry : oh ? jack : we all fall back on the familiar . sometimes , even the most painful past is more appealing than an unpredictable future . but you ca n't go backwards . it 's a trap . and there is so much good stuff ahead . phyllis : well , i think we did this . did n't we already do this ? i mean , you know , billy and i are done . we burned it down . i guess i could wallow in my guilt and my shame , but i choose to be happy . the kind of happy that feels like relief and excitement at the same time . so if he can get that with somebody else , or with victoria , i hope he grabs it . even if it is with your sister . do n't hate me . nick : he better not be messing with her head . he started with sharon , now vick . i mean , do you think this is about his social life , or do you think he 's trying to send a message ? phyllis : well , i do n't know what kind of message that would be . maybe `` i still got it . `` nick : maybe it 's directed right to us , you know , to show us what it would be like to jump into the old well . phyllis : did you just call it -- excuse me ! nick : well , okay , maybe i 'm reading too much into it . phyllis : you are ! nick : [ chuckles ] phyllis : you are . listen to me . billy is not gon na hurt victoria ever again . he better not even think about it because she 's not gon na take any garbage from anyone . nick : that almost sounds like admiration . phyllis : it 's respect . besides , i do n't think billy could really hold a mirror to us when it comes to weird dating choices . we are an actual couple , not some dog - and - pony show slash performance art . i do not care what billy thinks or does anymore , just like you do n't care about sharon . am i wrong ? nick : you are not wrong . phyllis : we just got back from a party . nick : mm - hmm . phyllis : we have some incredible wine . nick : mm - hmm . phyllis : epic chemistry . nick : yep . phyllis : healthy libidos . why exactly are we talking ?

it 's all because of my choices . billy : do n't do that . what happened between you and j.t . , that 's not your fault . and what happened to him after is someone else 's entirely . victoria : but i 'm their mother . i 'm their mother , and it all comes back to me , no matter what . and i picture them in the future , and all of this emotional scarring that they 'll have to deal with that i did n't save them from , and i -- i ca n't fix the bigs things , and i even find the smaller things daunting . billy : okay , what smaller things ? victoria : all of this , like , christmas . christmas song and cookies and paper snowflakes and all that . i just want to give them some good memories before this year is over . billy : we can do that . we can do that together . victoria : we ?

billy : well , my game is strong . victoria : mm - hmm . i think you 're just acting cocky because you were able to push phyllis ' buttons when you walked in with me . billy : phyllis is n't why i do anything anymore . she 's my boss . that 's it . victoria : ooh ! `` boss `` said without choking . billy : mm - hmm , because i 'm a pro . victoria : yes , you are . you were very professional tonight . you stood back and you let her run the party and run the whole show . billy : mm - hmm , phyllis in all her glory . victoria : oh ! also said without choking . billy : only on the irony . phyllis running jabot while i stand back like a good foot soldier and ... all right , i 'm starting to choke a little bit . i 'll stop there . in all honesty , i want my company back . i want the abbott company back in abbott hands . but i will suck it up , i will do the right thing . i wo n't do anything to jeopardize the company , to make it crash and burn so i can ride in like a hero . i 'll be patient , and i will do what i need to do to make sure it succeeds . victoria : good . just work hard and focus . billy : that 's the plan . victoria : good . that 's very good . billy : are you questioning me because you think i might be stressed out and making mistakes and possibly gambling again ? victoria : well , i mean , you do n't have to -- you do n't have to talk about it if you do n't want to . billy : it 's okay . i know that , for me , gambling can not come in moderation . i learned that . for a time , i thought i could walk the fine line and gamble on ponies or cards or whatever else it was , and i would have it in control , but that 's not true , and very intensive , very expensive rehab helped me admit that . but i did . no more gambling for me . it 's not on the table . now it 's day to day . victoria : you seem happier . i know it does n't feel that way . i know that the highs are not the same . billy : mm . or the lows . victoria : but , from what i can see , you seem a lot lighter , you know ?

jack : we all fall back on the familiar . sometimes , even the most painful past is more appealing than an unpredictable future . but you ca n't go backwards . it 's a trap . and there is so much good stuff ahead . phyllis : well , i think we did this . did n't we already do this ? i mean , you know , billy and i are done . we burned it down . i guess i could wallow in my guilt and my shame , but i choose to be happy . the kind of happy that feels like relief and excitement at the same time . so if he can get that with somebody else , or with victoria , i hope he grabs it . even if it is with your sister . do n't hate me . nick : he better not be messing with her head . he started with sharon , now vick . i mean , do you think this is about his social life , or do you think he 's trying to send a message ? phyllis : well , i do n't know what kind of message that would be . maybe `` i still got it . `` nick : maybe it 's directed right to us , you know , to show us what it would be like to jump into the old well . phyllis : did you just call it -- excuse me ! nick : well , okay , maybe i 'm reading too much into it . phyllis : you are ! nick : [ chuckles ] phyllis : you are . listen to me . billy is not gon na hurt victoria ever again . he better not even think about it because she 's not gon na take any garbage from anyone . nick : that almost sounds like admiration . phyllis : it 's respect . besides , i do n't think billy could really hold a mirror to us when it comes to weird dating choices . we are an actual couple , not some dog - and - pony show slash performance art . i do not care what billy thinks or does anymore , just like you do n't care about sharon . am i wrong ? nick : you are not wrong . phyllis : we just got back from a party . nick : mm - hmm . phyllis : we have some incredible wine . nick : mm - hmm . phyllis : epic chemistry . nick : yep . phyllis : healthy libidos . why exactly are we talking ?

it 's all because of my choices . billy : do n't do that . what happened between you and j.t . , that 's not your fault . and what happened to him after is someone else 's entirely . victoria : but i 'm their mother . i 'm their mother , and it all comes back to me , no matter what . and i picture them in the future , and all of this emotional scarring that they 'll have to deal with that i did n't save them from , and i -- i ca n't fix the bigs things , and i even find the smaller things daunting . billy : okay , what smaller things ? victoria : all of this , like , christmas . christmas song and cookies and paper snowflakes and all that . i just want to give them some good memories before this year is over . billy : we can do that . we can do that together . victoria : we ?

[ crying ] i 'm so glad to see you . every time that door opens , i 'm afraid that it 's the guards coming to take me to prison . victor : baby , this is an outrage , okay ? i will do everything in my power . this will not last . nikki : victor , the judge gave me 30 years , so ... victor : [ sighs ] the conviction needs to be thrown out . that 's all . nikki : i know you 'll never stop fighting for me . victor : of course i won't . nikki : and i love you for it . but i - i do n't want to talk about that right now . i - i do n't know how much longer i have before transport comes , so ... this could be our last chance to say goodbye . sharon : three years ... is n't so long ... you know , especially with time off for good behavior . mariah : i hate the thought of you spending 30 minutes in a cell . but i will deal with it , and i will come visit you as much as possible . sharon : that would mean so much to me . but the absolute best thing you can do for me is be there for faith . mariah : of course i will . sharon : knowing that she has you to lean on -- that would be the greatest comfort to me . mariah : [ voice breaking ] but faith needs you . she needs her mother . [ sniffles ] sharon : oh , sweetheart . mariah : i 'm sorry . i 'm sorry . i 'm sorry . i said i would n't do this . i 'm so sorry . victoria : what sane , rational person with one ounce of compassion would find her guilty ?

summer : well , even if i was upset about the sentencing , it 's about a million times worse for you . phyllis : eh . i 'm okay . but it might be nice to think about something else for a change . how are the wedding plans ? anything i can help check off the list for you ? summer : no . oh , actually , um , there is one thing that i 'm still unsure about ... phyllis : okay . summer : ... the bouquet . let 's see . you know that i love bold colors , especially yellow . phyllis : yeah . summer : but something like this just feels like a little too -- i do n't know -- festive now . phyllis : yeah , maybe . i see that . what about spring flowers ? what if you did something like white tulips and daffodils with rosebuds ? or you could do a little bunch of calla lilies tied with a yellow satin ribbon . summer : oh , that 's cute . i like that . yeah . phyllis : so , tell me about your wedding dress . do you want romantic , lacy , chic ? what do you want ? billy : really ? phyllis : do you have a theme ? billy : wedding plans ? pthat 's what 's on your mind while vick and the others are facing years in prison ? summer : okay . i 'm sorry , but this is a private conversation . phyllis : no , it 's okay . if billy has something to say , let him say it . billy : i got nothing to say to you . it 's just proof that you do n't care about anybody else but yourself . kyle : transplant 's a definite go ?

victoria : the same person that moved the body . nick : well , that does n't explain what we found in the walls at mom and dad 's place . who else but j.t . knows the perfect place to hide and is able to set up all that surveillance equipment ? victoria : just stop , okay ? i - i can't . nick : yeah . i - i 'm sorry . victoria : just the thought of j.t . anywhere near johnny and katie ... drives me crazy , and i ca n't be there to look out for them . nick : billy and i are gon na keep johnny and katie safe . and if j.t . is out there , we are gon na find him . you have my word on that . victoria : [ sighs ] summer : billy did n't have to be so nasty . why did n't you just put him in his place ?

are you sure there is n't anything i can do ? what 's going on with your honeymoon ? summer : uh , you know , kyle has got that all under control . it 's very hush- hush . phyllis : you know where you 're going ? summer : i do . and , honestly , it 's not my first choice , but , hey , we 'll be together , and that 's all that really matters . phyllis : you should both be excited , you know ? that 's the whole point of a trip like this -- make once - in - a - lifetime memories . summer : yeah , mom . please just do n't criticize . phyllis : i - i -- [ sighs ] yeah , i 'm sorry . i just keep hearing that this is not the wedding you would have chosen -- the flowers or the honeymoon . summer : okay . well , mom , it 's about the marriage . that 's what counts , not the party or the ceremony . phyllis : i do n't understand why you are so compelled to rush this . does this have something to do with lola 's transplant surgery ? sharon : i know that you 're under an enormous strain , especially with tessa being arrested . i saw her in the courtroom . does that mean she 's out on bail ? mariah : yes , and before you ask , i was the one who gave her the money for bail , and i know you do n't approve . sharon : no , mariah . it 's okay . i 'm through questioning your judgment ... especially after i put my trust in rey , and look how that turned out . mariah : did you love him ? sharon : whatever i was feeling , it was a huge mistake . it 's over now . the only people i know i can rely on are my kids , and i 'm so grateful for your support . mariah : that is one thing that you never have to worry about losing . kyle : summer is committed to going through with the transplant . i 'm just trying to anticipate everything that could go wrong and have contingency plans in place . if , for any reason , she could n't be lola 's donor , is there another option ? anyone else who 's a match ? nate : so far , no . listen , i believe that summer understands exactly what she psigned up for and is ready to go ahead as long as she can remain anonymous . kyle : i appreciate your maintaining privacy . nate : it 's the law . kyle : [ chuckles softly ] [ pager beeps ] nate : excuse me . kyle : sure . kyle : [ sighs ] me again .

( lisa ) tax reform is complicated , phyllis : sir ? sir , uh , i 'd like to see victoria , sharon , and nikki newman . i understand they 're being held here . are you their lawyer or reporter ? phyllis : i am a , uh -- it 's very important that i speak to them before they 're taken away . sharon : how did faith take it ? nick : same reaction we all had -- angry and shocked that the judge and jury got it so wrong . sharon : poor thing . nick : look , she knows that you were just trying to help mom and vick and got caught up in a situation that 's out of your control . she really wants to see you . sharon : here ? like this ? nick : sharon , it may be your last chance for a while . sharon : i want to see her , too , but the thought of my sweet daughter having to visit me in such a horrid environment -- i 'm afraid it would traumatize her . nick : okay . well , we can get by with phone calls for now . we just have to hope your sentence gets overturned soon . sharon : whatever you do , do n't make our daughter any promises that you know you ca n't keep . she 's had too much of that in her life already from both of us . nick : i know why it 's hard for you to believe that i 'll come through for you . i broke your trust , and that 's part of the reason why you 're in this mess . sharon : there 's no reason for you to blame yourself . nick : never would have been vulnerable to rey 's manipulations if we had n't split up . it 's my fault . i 'm really sorry .

lola : a liver transplant ? arturo : blood tests showed there was a problem . lola : how did this happen -- from some injury ? arturo : no . dr. hastings said livers sometimes fail for no reason at all , so you ending up here is kind of like a happy accident . and they found a perfect match -- a living donor who 's gon na give you a piece of their liver , which will grow bigger with time , and then their own liver will go back to the way it was . that 's pretty incredible , huh ? lola : who 's doing this for me ? arturo : all i know is that they 're healthy -- and asked to remain anonymous . lola : okay . arturo : you 're tired . i 'm gon na go . lola : hey . will you send kyle back in , please ?

do you really understand how we feel right now ? because i do n't think you really have a clue how we feel . the night j.t . died , you insisted that we all stay quiet about it , and in the end , you -- you sold us out ! phyllis : i talked to christine because i assumed the rest of you had . that was the only reason . victoria : i am so sick and tired of your lame excuses , so shut it , phyllis ! i 'm not buying it anymore ! nick 's not buying it anymore ! why do n't you just go ahead and admit it ? you only made a deal with the state because you wanted to save yourself . phyllis : i know ... it is so easy to condemn me right now , but the fact is nikki and sharon both broke before i did . victoria : because you drove my mother to the breaking point , claiming that you believed that my dad killed j.t . when you know that he was set up ! you know it ! and driving a wedge between him and nick , tearing our family apart ! i begged you ! i begged you not to do it . i told you what would happen . i told you my mother would confess to save my dad , and that 's exactly what she did . but you just kept pushing and pushing ! and now here we are ! sharon and me and my mother -- we 're gon na rot in prison while you walk around free . and you expect me to just be okay with that ? phyllis : i 'm still on your side , and i want to be in this fight . you tell me what to do , and i 'm gon na do it ! victoria : i will never make the mistake of trusting you again ever . and i am gon na make sure , even from prison , that you get what you deserve . dental insurance . many employers do n't offer it . medicare does n't include it . and people who work for themselves often do n't consider it . but with humana you can still have it . starting at just $ 17 a month . that 's less than 60 cents a day . call today for a free quote . with a humana dental plan you 'll get 100 % coverage for in - network preventive care such as oral exams , cleanings , and x - rays . plus , you 'll save on fillings , crowns and other dental procedures . and you ca n't be turned down because of age or pre - existing conditions . with a large network of dentists and specialists and a variety of affordable plans , you 're sure to find one to fit your family 's needs and budget . plus , humana has vision plans too . with coverage for exams , eye glasses , and more . how much could you save ?

mariah : brittany says these things can take a while to sort out , but hopefully somewhere not too far away . kyle : i 'm sorry if i have n't been there for you during the trial . mariah : no , no . it 's fine . i totally understand . i 'm sure you 've been with lola every chance you can get . how is she doing ? kyle : she woke up today . mariah : what ? ! that 's incredible ! oh , my gosh , kyle ! i know how worried you 've been . kyle : i have n't seen her with her eyes open and talking since valentine 's day . i mean , she 's weak . mariah : after everything she 's been through ... you take what you can get , right ?

you know , maybe it 'll take my mind off all the bad stuff going on . kyle : i 'm not going back there today . mariah : what ? why not ? kyle : um ... [ sighs ] can i trust you to keep something strictly confidential ? you ca n't tell sharon , tessa -- no one . mariah : okay . what 's going on ? is this about the transplant ? kyle : [ sighs ] i know the identity of lola 's anonymous donor . it 's summer . mariah : you 've -- you 've got to be kidding me . snowflake -- she 's actually doing something selfless ? kyle : she 's the only match they found . mariah : i do n't understand . why does this need to be kept a secret ? kyle : summer ... does n't want people to figure out the real reason she 's doing it . mariah : she 's helping save someone 's life ! that 's -- that 's not enough ? ! kyle : summer was apprehensive about the surgery , was n't sure if she could go through with it , and you ca n't force someone , obviously , to make that kind of sacrifice , so ... i gave her an incentive . mariah : incentive ? i -- she 's a newman . the girl has everything she 's ever wanted -- everything except ... except you . kyle : summer 's overcoming a lot to give lola her future back , and she 's not gon na do that unless she gets the future she wants . mariah : how ? how ? how , kyle ? how can you break up with lola and then pretend to be summer 's boyfriend ? ! kyle : she wants the real thing , or as close to it as she can get . mariah : what does that even mean ? ! kyle : it means we 're getting married ... tomorrow . victoria : i did n't think i would get to see you before they take me away . billy : well , that 's silly . where else would i be ? i came by earlier , but you were still in here with your dad . victoria : right . and then after that , i had another visitor -- phyllis . billy : hope you told her to go straight to hell . victoria : i was a lot less polite . billy : hey . that 's my girl . victoria : billy [ sighs ] we need to talk about everything . what are we gon na tell the kids ? billy : yeah . victoria : you ca n't keep telling them that i 'm away on business . billy : i 'm just gon na hold off on that conversation just a little bit longer . victoria : but you can't . you have to tell them . they 're gon na think that i abandoned them . billy : no , they 're not . there 's no chance of that . i tell them every day how much you love them . i read them your letters over and over . they ca n't get enough . if we ca n't get you out of this mess soon , then ... we will have that conversation about how to tell the kids , but ... not quite yet . victoria : but an appeal could take months ... billy : i know . victoria : ... even years . billy : i know . victoria : what , do you have some kind of other strategy in mind ? billy : nick and i are working on a little something . victoria : [ chuckles softly ] really ? billy : really . victoria : [ sighs ] but you two do n't like each other very much . billy : yeah , i know , but we both -- we both love you . victoria : thank you . billy : for what ? i 'm just standing by you , of course . that goes without question . victoria : do you know i really would n't fault you if you wanted to bail on me at this point ? billy : stop , okay ? i do not like it when you talk that way . sit down . look ... none of this is your fault , okay ? you are the victim here . victoria : i - i know that 's meant to help me , but i do n't like thinking of myself that way , as weak and powerless . billy : that right there -- that 's your dad 's voice in your head , and it 's never a good thing . you know why ? victoria : why ? billy : because it stops you from reaching out when you need help . look , it 's okay . we all are vulnerable at some point in our life , and if you were n't scared right now , then i would actually be a little bit worried . victoria : i can handle what 's coming . billy : i know . victoria : and i 'm not gon na crumble . i have to stay strong 'cause my mom needs me . billy : and i know you will . but you do n't have to be a paragon of strength for me . i 've been locked up . i know how this feels right now . and if you were to tell me right now that you were utterly terrified , then i wo n't hold it against you . i wo n't blow your cover , okay ? victoria : [ crying ] billy : it 's okay . victoria : okay . billy : this will be our little secret . victoria : [ crying ] arturo : hey . nate : hey . how 's she doing ? arturo : she just fell asleep . nate : good . good . she should be getting rest . arturo : yeah . hey , um , what did you think when you examined her ? nate : she 's -- she 's doing good . she 's coherent , responsive to stimuli and questions -- all good signs . arturo : she does n't seem to remember someone attacked her . i mean , i did n't bring it up , but ... nate : that was a good call . we want to keep your sister as calm and relaxed as possible going into surgery . arturo : okay . yeah . i 'll make sure everyone knows that -- whoever 's coming to see her . nate : thank you . hey , listen , i 'll let you get back to it , man . i know you have some phone calls to make . arturo : thanks . mariah : i can not believe that you are letting summer bully you into this . she is wrecking your life , and you are just going along with it . it 's insane . you love lola . i am begging you -- begging you -- please do n't this . kyle : you done ? can i talk now ? this was my idea . no one 's forcing me into anything . mariah : why would summer even want a guy who is in love with somebody else ? what is wrong with that girl ? ! kyle : summer saw all the fights and break - ups and was convinced that lola and i would never be happy and that no matter how much i love lola ... i 'm gon na wind up loving summer more . mariah : okay . so , what happens when the little brat does n't get her happily- ever - after ? because , kyle , i can see about a thousand ways that this is going to blow up in your face . what if she ever feels cheated or -- or betrayed for even one second while you guys are together ? she 's gon na turn her mother against you . hell , she 'll even turn her father against you -- maybe the entire newman clan . this is not good for you in any way , shape , or form ! kyle : i do n't care ... what happens to me . what matters is that lola gets her transplant . i need her to be all right . [ cellphone rings ] [ sighs ] summer . i 'd better take this . mariah : go ahead . kyle : [ sighs ] hi . what 's up ? summer : hey ! um , great news . i ran in to my grandpa , and he 's coming tomorrow . kyle : victor 's coming to the wedding ? wow . that 's ... great . summer : yeah , and it was n't easy , but i talked him into giving me a short honeymoon -- enough time to have the surgery and recover for a few days . kyle : perfect . summer : oh , and i met with the people at the club who are handling the catering , and everything 's set . so , there 's nothing else we can do except show up and say , `` i do . `` kyle : no worries . i 'll be there . nick : excuse me . where 's detective rosales ? we need to see him . i 'm sorry . he 's not available . billy : okay . well , then where is he ? he 's out in the field -- ca n't be reached . billy : well , we need to track him down and get him back here , 'cause ... nick : i need to find him immediately . it 's a matter of life and death . | phyllis and summer discussed her wedding . phyllis wished summer would be honest with her about the reason she was rushing into this . victor promised nikki he 'd do anything he could go get her and victoria released . nikki was concerned victor would do something risky , and she asked nick to look after his father . he promised he would . sharon admitted to mariah that she made a mistake with rey and she now realized her children were the only ones she could trust . nick talked with victoria again about his theory that jt was alive . he promised her that he and billy would take care of her kids and if jt was alive , they 'd find him too . victor promised victoria that he 'd make sure she and nikki were housed near each other , so victoria could watch over nikki . victor gave victoria a pep talk and told her she was a newman and she could handle this . phyllis visited victoria and pledged her help , but victoria was not interested . victoria vowed to make sure phyllis got what she deserved . | <s>[INST] [ previously_on ] kyle : saving lola 's life is the most important thing in the world to me . what is it gon na take to get you to agree to be her donor ? i 'll even marry you if that 's what it takes . summer : i want to get married immediately . kyle : how immediately are you talking ? summer : before the surgery . judge mcgarrett : has the jury reached a verdict ? we find the defendant [ echoing ] guilty ... guilty ... guilty . nick : what if j.t . is alive and well in genoa city ? billy : even if you 're right , then what ? nick : then let 's find him . we combine our resources and track this son of a bitch down , 'cause if we do that , these homicide verdicts are gon na get overturned . they go away . [ door opens ] nikki : ohh . oh , victor . [ crying ] i 'm so glad to see you . every time that door opens , i 'm afraid that it 's the guards coming to take me to prison . victor : baby , this is an outrage , okay ? i will do everything in my power . this will not last . nikki : victor , the judge gave me 30 years , so ... victor : [ sighs ] the conviction needs to be thrown out . that 's all . nikki : i know you 'll never stop fighting for me . victor : of course i won't . nikki : and i love you for it . but i - i do n't want to talk about that right now . i - i do n't know how much longer i have before transport comes , so ... this could be our last chance to say goodbye . sharon : three years ... is n't so long ... you know , especially with time off for good behavior . mariah : i hate the thought of you spending 30 minutes in a cell . but i will deal with it , and i will come visit you as much as possible . sharon : that would mean so much to me . but the absolute best thing you can do for me is be there for faith . mariah : of course i will . sharon : knowing that she has you to lean on -- that would be the greatest comfort to me . mariah : [ voice breaking ] but faith needs you . she needs her mother . [ sniffles ] sharon : oh , sweetheart . mariah : i 'm sorry . i 'm sorry . i 'm sorry . i said i would n't do this . i 'm so sorry . victoria : what sane , rational person with one ounce of compassion would find her guilty ? our mother did what any mother would do . nick : we are not done fighting . michael 's filing an appeal . victoria : she could go to prison ... for the next 30 years because she tried to stop me from getting killed . nick : she 's not responsible . j.t . is . victoria : yeah . and he 's out there somewhere , laughing ... because he won . he won ! summer : mom . phyllis : hey . summer : hi . phyllis : what brings you by ? summer : well , even if i was upset about the sentencing , it 's about a million times worse for you . phyllis : eh . i 'm okay . but it might be nice to think about something else for a change . how are the wedding plans ? anything i can help check off the list for you ? summer : no . oh , actually , um , there is one thing that i 'm still unsure about ... phyllis : okay . summer : ... the bouquet . let 's see . you know that i love bold colors , especially yellow . phyllis : yeah . summer : but something like this just feels like a little too -- i do n't know -- festive now . phyllis : yeah , maybe . i see that . what about spring flowers ? what if you did something like white tulips and daffodils with rosebuds ? or you could do a little bunch of calla lilies tied with a yellow satin ribbon . summer : oh , that 's cute . i like that . yeah . phyllis : so , tell me about your wedding dress . do you want romantic , lacy , chic ? what do you want ? billy : really ? phyllis : do you have a theme ? billy : wedding plans ? pthat 's what 's on your mind while vick and the others are facing years in prison ? summer : okay . i 'm sorry , but this is a private conversation . phyllis : no , it 's okay . if billy has something to say , let him say it . billy : i got nothing to say to you . it 's just proof that you do n't care about anybody else but yourself . kyle : transplant 's a definite go ? nate : yeah . team 's all set . all bases are covered . kyle : what about the paperwork ? did summer sign everything she was supposed to ? nate : it 's all in order . kyle : and she understood what she was agreeing to ? there 's no way she could come back later on and say she made a mistake or did n't understand ? nate : this is n't the first time you 've brought that up . are you worried she might back out ? additional sponsorship victor : sweetheart ... there 's no such thing as `` goodbye `` for us . we are meant to be together , and we will be . nikki : i do n't mean to doubt you . it 's just so hard . victor : you just have ... got to start believing that there 's an end in sight . nikki : i do . i regret all the times in my life when i stopped believing . i walked away from ... what you and i have over what now seems so trivial . we lost so much time together . victor : i know . but , sweetheart , when i think about it , you should have let me stand trial . nikki : no , victor . victor : yes . nikki : no , no , no , no . victor : i mean , even if christine williams had to drive me , she would have convicted me . i 'm an innocent man . but even if she had succeeded , i would have been all right with that ... because i would have known that my family is safe . nikki : i never would have been able to live with myself . and i hate that my confession led to victoria being dragged back into this . please tell me that you 'll focus on her appeal first . she needs to get home to her children . victor : sweetheart , i promise with every fiber of my being ... that i will make certain that you and victoria are back with the people who love you and who you love . nikki : okay . nick : you say that somewhere j.t . is laughing . victoria : i did n't mean that literally . i know you think that j.t . is still alive , but i have a really hard time believing that , nick . nick : somebody put one of his shirts with his blood on it in the stables . who else would do that ? victoria : the same person that moved the body . nick : well , that does n't explain what we found in the walls at mom and dad 's place . who else but j.t . knows the perfect place to hide and is able to set up all that surveillance equipment ? victoria : just stop , okay ? i - i can't . nick : yeah . i - i 'm sorry . victoria : just the thought of j.t . anywhere near johnny and katie ... drives me crazy , and i ca n't be there to look out for them . nick : billy and i are gon na keep johnny and katie safe . and if j.t . is out there , we are gon na find him . you have my word on that . victoria : [ sighs ] summer : billy did n't have to be so nasty . why did n't you just put him in his place ? phyllis : he just found out his kids are gon na grow up without their mother for the next 10 years . you know , sniping at him is n't really gon na help matters . summer : all right , fine . we 're moving on . phyllis : okay . back to the wedding , all right ? are you sure there is n't anything i can do ? what 's going on with your honeymoon ? summer : uh , you know , kyle has got that all under control . it 's very hush- hush . phyllis : you know where you 're going ? summer : i do . and , honestly , it 's not my first choice , but , hey , we 'll be together , and that 's all that really matters . phyllis : you should both be excited , you know ? that 's the whole point of a trip like this -- make once - in - a - lifetime memories . summer : yeah , mom . please just do n't criticize . phyllis : i - i -- [ sighs ] yeah , i 'm sorry . i just keep hearing that this is not the wedding you would have chosen -- the flowers or the honeymoon . summer : okay . well , mom , it 's about the marriage . that 's what counts , not the party or the ceremony . phyllis : i do n't understand why you are so compelled to rush this . does this have something to do with lola 's transplant surgery ? sharon : i know that you 're under an enormous strain , especially with tessa being arrested . i saw her in the courtroom . does that mean she 's out on bail ? mariah : yes , and before you ask , i was the one who gave her the money for bail , and i know you do n't approve . sharon : no , mariah . it 's okay . i 'm through questioning your judgment ... especially after i put my trust in rey , and look how that turned out . mariah : did you love him ? sharon : whatever i was feeling , it was a huge mistake . it 's over now . the only people i know i can rely on are my kids , and i 'm so grateful for your support . mariah : that is one thing that you never have to worry about losing . kyle : summer is committed to going through with the transplant . i 'm just trying to anticipate everything that could go wrong and have contingency plans in place . if , for any reason , she could n't be lola 's donor , is there another option ? anyone else who 's a match ? nate : so far , no . listen , i believe that summer understands exactly what she psigned up for and is ready to go ahead as long as she can remain anonymous . kyle : i appreciate your maintaining privacy . nate : it 's the law . kyle : [ chuckles softly ] [ pager beeps ] nate : excuse me . kyle : sure . kyle : [ sighs ] me again . [ chuckles softly ] i talked to nate . everything 's coming together for your surgery . you 're gon na be up and at 'em and making people happy with your incredible food in no time . your customers have missed you so much ... and your family ... and friends . and me . [ chuckles softly ] lola ? lola . summer : okay . why would my wedding have anything to do with lola 's transplant ? phyllis : it 's not so long ago she and kyle were serious about each other . summer : so ? that 's in the past . phyllis : you insecure about his commitment to you ? summer : what ? no ! if i did not think that kyle and i could make it work , i would n't be marrying him . phyllis : i wish you could trust me enough to be honest with me . [ cellphone rings ] summer : okay . well , we need to change the subject after i take this , please . hi . this is summer . yeah , no problem . i can actually come now . okay . um , that was the catering manager . they need to move up our appointment . phyllis : we 're not done with this conversation . summer : no , i have said everything that i need to say , so i will talk to you later . lola : [ exhales sharply ] kyle : oh , hey . hey , you . lola : hey . where am i ? kyle : um ... in the hospital . uh , but y - you 're gon na be okay . so ... so happy to see those beautiful [ voice breaking ] eyes again . uh ... d - d - dr . hastings , um -- he 's taking care of you . um ... [ chuckles softly ] i 'll -- i 'll go tell them you 're awake . lola : [ weakly ] okay . nikki : i mean , i - i knew that a conviction was a possibility , but ... until i heard that juror read the verdict out loud ... nick : it was surreal . nikki : and then to hear the judge pass sentence -- i mean , i still feel i 'm gon na wake up and ... and none of it will be real . nick : oh , mom . nikki : i 'm okay . nick : i 'm just -- i 'm kicking myself . i should have helped dad get you out of the country while we could . nikki : darling , you and your father were not no the best of terms then . nick : have you seen him since they brought you over from the courthouse ? nikki : oh , yeah . he was just here ... promising to move heaven and earth to get your sister and me home . nick : [ chuckles softly ] sounds like dad . nikki : yeah . that 's what worries me . i - i know the risks that he will take , but he 's determined to make something happen . i hope i can count on you to be there for him ... just like you 've been here for me . nick : count on it . victor : i 'm gon na make sure that you and your mother are kept in close proximity , okay ? that way you can watch over her . victoria : of course i will . it 'll be a huge relief , knowing that we 're together . victor : ever since you were a child ... i 've known you to be strong and focused , determined . you 're most like me that way . i think of all my children , you 're the strongest . victoria : i know how important that is to you , dad . victor : and nicholas has kept me apprised of what 's going on during the trial ... and how you handled it when tessa tried to blackmail you . victoria : after that , the jury saw me differently . suddenly , i was painted as this ... ruthless person that would take a young woman and terrify her and dump her along the side of the road . victor : sweetheart , i see it differently . all you did is you took determined action to protect yourself and your mother . that 's what the situation called for . victoria : thank you for saying that , dad . victor : so ... you 're gon na face some tough days ahead , okay ? you 're a newman . you 're gon na pull through . do you understand ? you 're determined . you 're strong . you will come out of this more resilient than ever . ( lisa ) tax reform is complicated , phyllis : sir ? sir , uh , i 'd like to see victoria , sharon , and nikki newman . i understand they 're being held here . are you their lawyer or reporter ? phyllis : i am a , uh -- it 's very important that i speak to them before they 're taken away . sharon : how did faith take it ? nick : same reaction we all had -- angry and shocked that the judge and jury got it so wrong . sharon : poor thing . nick : look , she knows that you were just trying to help mom and vick and got caught up in a situation that 's out of your control . she really wants to see you . sharon : here ? like this ? nick : sharon , it may be your last chance for a while . sharon : i want to see her , too , but the thought of my sweet daughter having to visit me in such a horrid environment -- i 'm afraid it would traumatize her . nick : okay . well , we can get by with phone calls for now . we just have to hope your sentence gets overturned soon . sharon : whatever you do , do n't make our daughter any promises that you know you ca n't keep . she 's had too much of that in her life already from both of us . nick : i know why it 's hard for you to believe that i 'll come through for you . i broke your trust , and that 's part of the reason why you 're in this mess . sharon : there 's no reason for you to blame yourself . nick : never would have been vulnerable to rey 's manipulations if we had n't split up . it 's my fault . i 'm really sorry . [ knock on door ] there 's someone else here to see you -- a phyllis summers . lola : i am so tired . nate : that 's to be expected . but we 're gon na get you , uh , healthy again soon . lola : thank you . nate : of course . now , are you up for any visitors ? because , uh , there 's someone outside that 's been waiting very patiently to see you . lola : it 's fine . nate : okay . arturo : oh , my god . thank god ! it 's so good to see you awake . how do you feel ? are you in any pain ? lola : arturo , what happened ? arturo : you were injured . how much do you remember ? lola : i was , um , outside ... and it was ... cold , it was dark , it was at night . arturo : that 's right . yeah . it was february . lola : is n't it still february ? arturo : we 're in the middle of march . lola , you 've been here in this room for a month ... unconscious . [ footsteps approach ] summer : grandpa . victor : hey , my sweetheart . summer : hi . victor : hi , my sweetheart . summer : i could tell that you needed a hug . victor : please sit down , my darling . summer : how are you doing ? no , never mind . that 's a really ... victor : [ exhales sharply ] summer : ... really stupid question . victor : no . summer : oh , my god . i am so enraged with what 's going on . 30 years ? 30 years ? that is not justice . that is some sick revenge . victor : it 's outrageous . 30 years for your grandmother ... and 10 years for victoria . this is just ... anyway ... we all know who 's responsible . summer : yeah , christine williams . i do n't get it . she used to look up to you and respect you . victor : that was a long time & ago , but i 'm gon na get her . summer : i know you 're not gon na let this stand . i 'm sure that michael 's already working on getting it reversed , right ? victor : oh , yeah . he is . summer : okay , good . just let me know if there 's anything i can do , okay ? victor : sweetheart , now with both nikki and victoria gone and all the bad publicity , you have your hands full at newman . summer : yeah , grandpa . i -- victor : no , but wait a minute . do you know the discussion that we had about your new position at newman ? it 's going to take effect immediately , okay ? you 're gon na have to start ... your job tomorrow . summer : um , actually , grandpa , i , uh -- [ chuckles softly ] victor : you 're what ? summer : i 'm getting married tomorrow here at the club , and of course you 're invited . i would have told you sooner . it 's just ... um ... victor : you 're getting married to who ? summer : kyle . jack 's son . victor : what ? ! are you serious ? you 're gon na marry an abbott ? ! `` the young and the restless `` will continue . phyllis : she 's the only one who said she 'd see me . still want to do this ? phyllis : absolutely . lead the way . summer : grandpa , you like kyle . well , you know how smart and charming he is , and he 's a really hard worker . victor : [ sighs ] does n't mean he 'll be a good husband , sweetheart . summer : no , i was just naming off the qualities that would impress you , so , uh ... hey , why do n't i just tell you what i love about him ? kyle 's my best friend . we are so much alike . we just get each other . even on my absolute worst day , he 's gon na be the one there taking care of me ... or making damn sure that whoever 's supposed to be does n't screw it up . i trust him with my life , grandpa , and i can have pretty much any guy i want , and i - i choose kyle . he is the one that i want to wake up next to every morning . and i really , really hope that you 'll be there tomorrow to help us celebrate and wish us well , but if you decide not to come ... the wedding 's still gon na happen because we love each other and we 've waited long enough to be together . victor : well , well , well . you 're marrying an abbott . all right . i 'll be there . summer : really ? victor : yes . summer : oh , my god . oh , my god ! thank you , grandpa ! ohh , thank you . thank you . does this mean i get tomorrow off ? [ chuckles ] victor : and you can come in late the day after . summer : oh , um , well , we 're gon na be on our honeymoon then . victor : you did n't clear that with me . summer : no . well , we literally just decided on this . victor : sweetheart ... if this abbott boy is as understanding as you claim he is , then he will realize how important a career is to you . now , with all the bad publicity , with nikki and victoria gone ... we need you at the company . summer : yeah . well , missing our honeymoon -- that 's not really gon na work for us , grandpa . victor : sweetheart , let me tell you something . a good marriage is based on the willingness of both partners to make sacrifices for each other . now , is kyle the kind of man who will make a sacrifice for the woman he loves ? lola : a liver transplant ? arturo : blood tests showed there was a problem . lola : how did this happen -- from some injury ? arturo : no . dr. hastings said livers sometimes fail for no reason at all , so you ending up here is kind of like a happy accident . and they found a perfect match -- a living donor who 's gon na give you a piece of their liver , which will grow bigger with time , and then their own liver will go back to the way it was . that 's pretty incredible , huh ? lola : who 's doing this for me ? arturo : all i know is that they 're healthy -- and asked to remain anonymous . lola : okay . arturo : you 're tired . i 'm gon na go . lola : hey . will you send kyle back in , please ? arturo : kyle ? lola : yeah . he was just here . phyllis : thank you for agreeing to see me . victoria : i really could n't help but be curious about what you had to say . did you come here to brag about how beautifully you played everything ? phyllis : just the opposite . i ... i feel terrible ... the way things went down . i - i will do whatever you want me to do . you just -- victoria : the last thing any of us need is any more assistance from you . phyllis : i understand how angry you 've got to be right now . victoria : do you ? do you really understand how we feel right now ? because i do n't think you really have a clue how we feel . the night j.t . died , you insisted that we all stay quiet about it , and in the end , you -- you sold us out ! phyllis : i talked to christine because i assumed the rest of you had . that was the only reason . victoria : i am so sick and tired of your lame excuses , so shut it , phyllis ! i 'm not buying it anymore ! nick 's not buying it anymore ! why do n't you just go ahead and admit it ? you only made a deal with the state because you wanted to save yourself . phyllis : i know ... it is so easy to condemn me right now , but the fact is nikki and sharon both broke before i did . victoria : because you drove my mother to the breaking point , claiming that you believed that my dad killed j.t . when you know that he was set up ! you know it ! and driving a wedge between him and nick , tearing our family apart ! i begged you ! i begged you not to do it . i told you what would happen . i told you my mother would confess to save my dad , and that 's exactly what she did . but you just kept pushing and pushing ! and now here we are ! sharon and me and my mother -- we 're gon na rot in prison while you walk around free . and you expect me to just be okay with that ? phyllis : i 'm still on your side , and i want to be in this fight . you tell me what to do , and i 'm gon na do it ! victoria : i will never make the mistake of trusting you again ever . and i am gon na make sure , even from prison , that you get what you deserve . dental insurance . many employers do n't offer it . medicare does n't include it . and people who work for themselves often do n't consider it . but with humana you can still have it . starting at just $ 17 a month . that 's less than 60 cents a day . call today for a free quote . with a humana dental plan you 'll get 100 % coverage for in - network preventive care such as oral exams , cleanings , and x - rays . plus , you 'll save on fillings , crowns and other dental procedures . and you ca n't be turned down because of age or pre - existing conditions . with a large network of dentists and specialists and a variety of affordable plans , you 're sure to find one to fit your family 's needs and budget . plus , humana has vision plans too . with coverage for exams , eye glasses , and more . how much could you save ?

mariah : brittany says these things can take a while to sort out , but hopefully somewhere not too far away . kyle : i 'm sorry if i have n't been there for you during the trial . mariah : no , no . it 's fine . i totally understand . i 'm sure you 've been with lola every chance you can get . how is she doing ? kyle : she woke up today . mariah : what ? ! that 's incredible ! oh , my gosh , kyle ! i know how worried you 've been . kyle : i have n't seen her with her eyes open and talking since valentine 's day . i mean , she 's weak . mariah : after everything she 's been through ... you take what you can get , right ? kyle : oh , yeah . mariah : that 's amazing . are they still going through with the transplant ? kyle : day after tomorrow . mariah : this is great ! i am so happy ! this is awesome ! um , i know you 're probably dying to get back to memorial , so why do n't we just grab a cup of coffee and i 'll go with you ? you know , maybe it 'll take my mind off all the bad stuff going on . kyle : i 'm not going back there today . mariah : what ? why not ? kyle : um ... [ sighs ] can i trust you to keep something strictly confidential ? you ca n't tell sharon , tessa -- no one . mariah : okay . what 's going on ? is this about the transplant ? kyle : [ sighs ] i know the identity of lola 's anonymous donor . it 's summer . mariah : you 've -- you 've got to be kidding me . snowflake -- she 's actually doing something selfless ? kyle : she 's the only match they found . mariah : i do n't understand . why does this need to be kept a secret ? kyle : summer ... does n't want people to figure out the real reason she 's doing it . mariah : she 's helping save someone 's life ! that 's -- that 's not enough ? ! kyle : summer was apprehensive about the surgery , was n't sure if she could go through with it , and you ca n't force someone , obviously , to make that kind of sacrifice , so ... i gave her an incentive . mariah : incentive ? i -- she 's a newman . the girl has everything she 's ever wanted -- everything except ... except you . kyle : summer 's overcoming a lot to give lola her future back , and she 's not gon na do that unless she gets the future she wants . mariah : how ? how ? how , kyle ? how can you break up with lola and then pretend to be summer 's boyfriend ? ! kyle : she wants the real thing , or as close to it as she can get . mariah : what does that even mean ?

billy : yeah . victoria : you ca n't keep telling them that i 'm away on business . billy : i 'm just gon na hold off on that conversation just a little bit longer . victoria : but you can't . you have to tell them . they 're gon na think that i abandoned them . billy : no , they 're not . there 's no chance of that . i tell them every day how much you love them . i read them your letters over and over . they ca n't get enough . if we ca n't get you out of this mess soon , then ... we will have that conversation about how to tell the kids , but ... not quite yet . victoria : but an appeal could take months ... billy : i know . victoria : ... even years . billy : i know . victoria : what , do you have some kind of other strategy in mind ? billy : nick and i are working on a little something . victoria : [ chuckles softly ] really ? billy : really . victoria : [ sighs ] but you two do n't like each other very much . billy : yeah , i know , but we both -- we both love you . victoria : thank you . billy : for what ? i 'm just standing by you , of course . that goes without question . victoria : do you know i really would n't fault you if you wanted to bail on me at this point ? billy : stop , okay ? i do not like it when you talk that way . sit down . look ... none of this is your fault , okay ? you are the victim here . victoria : i - i know that 's meant to help me , but i do n't like thinking of myself that way , as weak and powerless . billy : that right there -- that 's your dad 's voice in your head , and it 's never a good thing . you know why ? victoria : why ? billy : because it stops you from reaching out when you need help . look , it 's okay . we all are vulnerable at some point in our life , and if you were n't scared right now , then i would actually be a little bit worried . victoria : i can handle what 's coming . billy : i know . victoria : and i 'm not gon na crumble . i have to stay strong 'cause my mom needs me . billy : and i know you will . but you do n't have to be a paragon of strength for me . i 've been locked up . i know how this feels right now . and if you were to tell me right now that you were utterly terrified , then i wo n't hold it against you . i wo n't blow your cover , okay ? victoria : [ crying ] billy : it 's okay . victoria : okay . billy : this will be our little secret . victoria : [ crying ] arturo : hey . nate : hey . how 's she doing ? arturo : she just fell asleep . nate : good . good . she should be getting rest . arturo : yeah . hey , um , what did you think when you examined her ? nate : she 's -- she 's doing good . she 's coherent , responsive to stimuli and questions -- all good signs . arturo : she does n't seem to remember someone attacked her . i mean , i did n't bring it up , but ... nate : that was a good call . we want to keep your sister as calm and relaxed as possible going into surgery . arturo : okay . yeah . i 'll make sure everyone knows that -- whoever 's coming to see her . nate : thank you . hey , listen , i 'll let you get back to it , man . i know you have some phone calls to make . arturo : thanks . mariah : i can not believe that you are letting summer bully you into this . she is wrecking your life , and you are just going along with it . it 's insane . you love lola . i am begging you -- begging you -- please do n't this . kyle : you done ? can i talk now ? this was my idea . no one 's forcing me into anything . mariah : why would summer even want a guy who is in love with somebody else ? what is wrong with that girl ? ! kyle : summer saw all the fights and break - ups and was convinced that lola and i would never be happy and that no matter how much i love lola ... i 'm gon na wind up loving summer more . mariah : okay . so , what happens when the little brat does n't get her happily- ever - after ? because , kyle , i can see about a thousand ways that this is going to blow up in your face . what if she ever feels cheated or -- or betrayed for even one second while you guys are together ? she 's gon na turn her mother against you . hell , she 'll even turn her father against you -- maybe the entire newman clan . this is not good for you in any way , shape , or form ! kyle : i do n't care ... what happens to me . what matters is that lola gets her transplant . i need her to be all right .

[ previously_on ] jack : go ahead . take your seat in dad 's chair . you earned it , and i know without any shadow of a doubt he would approve . ashley : i would like you to meet andrew , who is a fantastic chemist i 've hired to do some freelance consulting and handle some work at jabot . sharon : we have to tie him up before he comes to . where are his neckties ? victoria ! sharon : is there a day that goes by when you do n't replay that night in your head -- every time you see your fireplace and your bedroom ... nikki : no , no , that 's enough . that 's enough ! sharon : i know that i 'm right ! no matter what happens , we 're never going to forget . kyle : should i get it to go , or will you join me ? lola : depends . kyle : on what ? lola : are you gon na ask me out or what ? tessa : are you lola ? lola : sure am . tessa : okay . rey left this for you . i think it 's power tools . is this , like , a drill or -- lola : that 's a handheld power saw . perfect . thanks . i 'll also take a coffee for the road , please . tessa : right . kyle : it 's on me , tessa . lola : hey , you . do n't be springing for stuff yet . i ca n't start our date till tonight . kyle : you 're sawing and ... drilling ? lola : bolting down some stuff in my truck . got a few rattles and a couple of other minor repairs . kyle : have a minute to hang before you , uh , bolt ? lola : [ sighs ] kyle : see what i did there ? lola : yeah . hilarious . two minutes , and then i got to run . kyle : okay . tessa : coffee . kyle : i got it . tessa : so , at sharon 's party , is that who you were excited about ? well done . kyle : thank you . [ exhales sharply ] i 've been up since 4 : 00 , writing this epic report for work . lola : sounds like someone got the promotion they 've been waiting for . i hope your new office has a killer view . kyle : yeah , none of that 's happened yet . but this could be the way i snag it . lots of upheaval at the office . three new c.e.o.s in a week -- my uncle , my aunt , now my other aunt . lola : well , sounds like your turn 's bound to come sooner or later . kyle : i think sooner . lola : would a basket of field - corn tamales help ? kyle : beyond . i 'm starving . lola : not for you . for your aunt . kyle : eh , uh , i knew that . lola : did not . kyle : still ... if you made them ... same answer . victoria : [ sighs ] summer : thank you for inviting me to breakfast , grandma . nikki : ohh . well , it 's not often you get to see a train wreck occur inside of a church . i 've been thinking about you ever since . summer : why me ? nikki : you saw both of your parents ' relationships explode into bits at the exact same time . that could n't have been fun . summer : well , yeah . i do n't like seeing dad miserable , but , honestly , i never thought that getting back with sharon was a recipe for eternal bliss . nikki : you and me both , sweetie . but billy leaving phyllis ? i mean , you like him . summer : yeah , sure . yeah . i mean , i like his energy and his enthusiasm . nikki : and i 'm sure working in the same building , doing projects for jabot , you 've probably gotten even closer . summer : yeah . okay . do you think that i should have to give up that friendship with billy just because he ended things with my mom ? nikki : what , because she cheated on him ? summer : thank you . i mean , obviously , what else could he have really done ? nikki : honey , i would n't worry about it . give yourself a break . and , uh , this is n't an endorsement . it 's just an educated guess . billy and phyllis could be back together before the weekend . summer : huh . 'cause from what mom said , i got the feeling that billy 's already moved on . nikki : she must be a wreck , but she 's probably better off . summer : really ? nikki : you know billy 's been gambling again . victoria just told me that the board voted him out of jabot . it 's just terrible to watch him -- the gambling -- ruin his life again , you know ? well , at least this time , victoria wo n't have to pick up the pieces . summer : but if he addresses his problems and goes back to being the guy that we all know and ... like , then would n't you want him to find someone new that makes him happy -- someone that you like better than my mom ? nikki : what , you already have somebody you want to fix him up with ? phyllis would love that . summer : no . i can promise you that that is something i would never do . additional sponsorship ted : what time would you prefer the staff meeting ? ashley : i guess as soon as they all can get here . i want to see all the heads of the departments and representatives from fenmore 's , phyllis included . neil : hey . do n't mean to interrupt your flow of power here , but , uh , how you doing ? good to see you . ted : ms. abbott 's already in full command . i 'm ted , her new assistant . neil : ah . ted : it 's such an honor to meet you . hamilton - winters is such an exciting company . please give my best to your son devon . neil : sure . thanks . yeah . i appreciate that . ashley : hi . neil : hey , you . ashley : oh . neil : i like that kid . ashley : yeah . i like presents . neil : i bet you do , and you know what ? there 's a little something that will set the tone around here . check this out . ashley : [ laughs ] were you up all night , crafting ? neil : oh , you know me . i like to load up that turntable with some cool , smooth jazz , and that 's when i really get crafty . ashley : well , you know what i 'm gon na do ? neil : what ? ashley : i am going to put this right here so everybody at the meeting today gets the message . neil : just try to manage your expectations . ashley : i 'm expecting opposition , both subtle and otherwise , and that 's why i 'm going to confront the leaders head - on . they can either help me drive this train down the track of my choice , or they can jump off at the next station . neil : you know , why do n't you tell me all about it at dinner tonight , okay ? ashley : i already inked you in . lola : so , behind those delectable fragrances and glamorous tv commercials , all that 's going on ? you swear ? kyle : those are only the recent events . beauty can be an ugly business . lola : you want more irony ? most of my relatives back in miami are doing all the same shady stuff to each other -- for free . kyle : so , you and i are on the same hideous page . cool . lola : it 's bad enough that they 're already battling each other , and then they expect you to pick a side -- theirs . kyle : [ sighs ] funny you should say that . ashley just called a staff meeting ... in one hour . just enough time to proofread , print , and pray . lola : do n't trip . i like it . kyle : you have n't read it . lola : not the report . the mind - set -- determined , proactive , on about everything , always . always in the zone , and when setbacks come flying at you , bam ! -- you crush 'em . or even better , dodge and avoid them completely . kyle : so , that 's your secret . lola : one of them . kyle : well , let 's dodge one of those setbacks right now . our date tonight -- what do you want to do on it ? your call . lola : how 'bout a movie ? and we 'll catch a later showtime if you get stuck at work . kyle : no chance . that 's a setback i 'll dodge on my own . [ sighs ] lola : how 'bout we meet back here at 6 : 00ish ? kyle : 5 : 30 , sharp . hey , you said it -- determined , proactive , high expectations . i added a third one . tessa : top you off ? lola : yeah , thanks . tessa : so , i do n't mean to be nosy . okay . well , actually i did . how 'd you two meet ? lola : he got lunch at my food truck and then , in the space of one minute , annoyed me more than any guy i have ever met . tessa : ooh . was it the cute kind of annoying ? lola : you know , like , the hardcore , old - school kind of annoying . afterwards , i almost went on the food - truck review website and gave him an `` f `` as a customer . tessa : well , clearly , his score improved since now you 're dating . lola : tonight 's our first , so ... ask me after that . anyways , i have a food delivery and some repairs to do . but , you know , i kept bumping into kyle , really wanting to hate him , but i didn't . and after seeing him today , i 'm actually looking forward to our date . tessa : me , too . and that 's really abnormal . i do not matchmake . i never watch those romance reality shows where damaged people claw each other 's eyes out just to meet someone and fall in love and get married to someone you met two weeks ago . so , why do you care ? tessa : kyle 's ex -- she 's kind of a nightmare . horrible to any guy who likes her , no interest , of course , until he finds someone knew . and you 're an upgrade in every way . she 's gon na lose her mind , and i 'm gon na love to watch it . [ chuckles ] lola : so , um ... who is kyle 's ex ? tessa : ugh . her name is summer newman . lola : [ scoffs ] newman ? nikki : do you really have to go ? summer : yeah . it 's ashley 's first staff meeting . i should probably be there . nikki : i understand . summer : wo n't be much fun , though , watching her try to scrub any trace of billy off of jabot . nikki : what could billy have done to turn people against him so much ? do you know ? summer : i guess he made some questionable choices , but , no , i do n't know the details . nikki : well , whatever he 's done , i 'm sure he 's ashamed . summer : i hope not . nikki : you know , if billy puts in the work , he can grow from this , and then he can leave all these poor decisions behind him . lola : all done . would you hold on to this for rey for when you see him ? tessa : oh , yeah . i mean , he is the unofficial crimson lights handyman . he does love coming to the rescue . i 'm not complaining , though , 'cause if it were n't for rey , i would n't be so good at fixing up my truck . tessa : okay . so , you can cook and change your oil ? wow . you really are the anti - summer . lola : i do n't know this girl , but i 'll take it as a compliment . so , if she 's not in the kitchen or in the garage , what does she do ? tessa : uh , her mom 's , like , a big deal at fenmore 's , so her mom handed her an office job , which seems pretty cushy since she 's only working like 20 hours a week , and being victor newman 's granddaughter comes with a massive trust fund , so it 's not like she 's trying to support herself . lola : wow . you called it . yeah , summer and i are nothing alike . tessa : congratulations . ashley : thank you , everybody , for squeezing this in . summer , lauren and i have been trying to reach your mother , who 's also late . is she on her way ? summer : um , well , i have n't heard from her today , and given the recent events ... ashley : given those , i would think she would do whatever she could to be here . i need to know that my team is working in sync , and that includes fenmore 's . lauren : um , i will make sure that phyllis is on track and up to speed . ashley : thank you so much . anyway , i called this meeting because i want to put the turmoil and confusion to rest . throughout my life , i 've had a personal touchstone , my father and mentor , john abbott . i would like us to use his vision and his wisdom as a guiding light as we move this company forward . and the heartbeat of jabot has always been innovation . my father never assumed that a customer would be satisfied next season with something he or she purchased yesterday , so , to that end , i 'm returning our focus and our funding to r & d . lauren : and where are these funds gon na be coming from , just out of curiosity ? ashley : i think the most logical choice would be jaboutiques -- either scaling them back or eradicating them completely . and i 'm aware that the next few quarters might be a little tricky , but , believe me , it will be well worth your hard work . i 'm going to do everything in my power to make myself available to you each and every day , to continue john abbott 's legacy , starting right now . if anybody wants to stick around and chat , i 'm here . [ sighs ] thanks for coming . kyle : i had a feeling you might want to put the jaboutiques on the chopping block sooner rather than later , so last night i conducted an in - depth review of all of our leases , suppliers , shipping contracts , and the allocated ad budget for the launch . ashley : any conclusions ? kyle : oh , yeah , but ... you 're not going to like them . [ door opens ] nikki : hey , honey . victoria : hi , mom . [ door closes ] nikki : i am heading over to your house to pick up johnny and katie for grandparent night . victoria : that 's so great . they were extremely disappointed when i told them they would n't be spending their special weeknights with daddy for a while . nikki : your father and i are happy to help out whenever you need it . can you join us for pasta ? victoria : no , i can't . the kids eat early , and , uh , i 'm swamped . i have n't even gotten through half of what i need to today . nikki : all right . well , we 'll feed them , play some games , put their jammies on , and send them home . they 'll be ready for bed . victoria : great . thanks . all good . nikki : is something bothering you ? victoria : mom , i did n't want to show you this because i did n't want to freak you out . this -- this came in the mail for me yesterday . nikki : oh , my god . nikki : is this the first letter you 've gotten like this ? victoria : yes . just that one . nikki : no weird phone calls , voicemails , texts from unknown numbers ? victoria : nothing . every time my phone makes a noise , i 'm afraid to check it.- [ sighs ] nikki : i hate to see your nerves on edge again . victoria : mom , how can i be calm ? we have no recourse . it 's not like i can go to the police with something like this . nikki : what about a private investigator -- a discreet one ? victoria : discreet enough for a murder confession ? no ! we ca n't tell anyone . promise me that you won't . nikki : no , of course i won't . i just want to make sure you and i are rational about this . victoria : somebody else knows about that night . nikki : now , we do n't know that . you are a prominent woman in this town , and it could be some bored bully playing a prank . victoria : so , it 's just a coincidence ? nikki : there is nothing in this letter to say otherwise . i mean , there 's no mention of j.t . there 's no hint of what you supposedly did . it could be a disgruntled employee . even if it is about j.t . , why would this person target you ? i mean , i 'm the one who killed him . victoria : he left you no choice . nikki : well , with this , we do have a choice , okay ? we can choose to ignore this . this sentence says nothing . it proves nothing . victoria : you 're right . it doesn't . [ sighs ] nikki : honey . victoria : have you gone through your mail here -- today 's and yesterday 's ? nikki : yes , all of it . no anonymous letters . honey , i - i do n't want you to obsess about this , okay ? please , resist the urge . victoria : i 'll try . i promise . nikki : okay . kyle : that 's perfect . send over the estimate , and i 'll get back to you shortly . all right . talk soon . ashley : kyle , this is incredibly impressive . i ca n't believe you did this all in one night . kyle : i thought it was important for you to have every figure and all the data easily accessible . ashley : well , thank you . and thank you for the tamales , by the way . kyle : tamales ? ashley : well , yeah . they said they were from you . la vida lola is my favorite gourmet food truck . i thought you 'd be working through lunch . ashley : you were right . by the way , did you ever consider that maybe nick newman would be open to lowering the penalties for those early terminated leases of ours ? i mean , maybe they 're open for negotiation ? kyle : i did , which led me to create appendix b . if you 'll flip to the end , i did a cost analysis of canceling the entire chain of boutiques if we could void our contracts with dark horse . ashley : all this and tamales , too ? you really do think of everything , do n't you ? kyle : and it would cost more to cancel the entire project than to go ahead with the launch -- much , much more . ashley : wow . okay . well , that settles it , does n't it ? look out , shoppers . you can have jaboutiques whether you want them or not . kyle : i thought jaboutiques were always reckless and ill - advised . ashley : exactly , and that 's what we would be if we eradicated them , so ... anything else ? kyle : uh , one more thing . my board vote yesterday was not a comment on your vision for jabot , which i back 100 % . ashley : you were supporting your dad . you know , how could i hold that against you ? kyle : so , you do n't ? ashley : not a bit . kyle : i am so relieved to hear you say that . ashley : did you think i was gon na be petty about it ? kyle : no , 'cause i 'm that excited for the future of this company and building it with you . we 're out of damage control , so it 's all about the innovation image , propelling jabot to new heights . sky 's the limit . and i 'll be right there behind you , providing the same analysis and strategy you saw in that report . you can count on me . ashley : i already do . kyle : i think we could maximize harmony and effectiveness if i were your c.o.o . let me amend . i know we could . ashley : you know , i 'm gon na leave that position vacant for now . kyle : vacant ? so ... you 'd rather have no c.o.o . than give me the job ? ashley : that 's not what i said . kyle : i think you did . ashley : that is a crucial position , you have to admit . whoever fills it is my right hand , basically . it has to be somebody that i trust implicitly . kyle : do n't need to start sifting through résumés . i 'm right here . you know you can trust me . i 've proven that . constantly . ashley : you know how i felt about the tactics that you used against billy . kyle : to get billy out of here . as discussed . like you wanted . ashley : i never wanted you to push a recovering gambling addict back to it . i told you that . kyle : billy was gambling all on his own way before . ashley : okay , but it was your manipulation that pushed him on the downward spiral to rock bottom , and you know it , just as you planned . kyle : you promised to reward me for my loyalty to you . ashley : you still have a job , kyle . everybody else would have fired you for what you did -- to your uncle . kyle : he did it to himself . ashley : the minute you came to me and told me about your idea to use billy 's gambling against him , i said no ! kyle : and made a mental note to cross me off the c.o.o . list , without telling me , until you secured billy 's job . ashley : i deserve it . i did everything by the book along the way . kyle : because you had me doing all the real work as henchman and scapegoat , while you kept your hands as clean as those phony ethics you were just touting to everyone , and you call me sneaky and opportunistic ? ashley : insubordinate -- let 's add that one to the list , you keep this up . kyle : my apologies , ma'am . you 've taken so much care of that image you crafted of yours -- heroic and full of integrity -- and the world 's buying it ... for now . i 'm cool being in the vanguard . been there my whole career . the world always catches up . ashley : we 're done here , kyle . goodbye . kyle : i ca n't wait until your true colors start trending . [ door slams ] [ object clatters ] `` the young and the restless `` will continue . neil : to wearing it well . ashley : what , my suit ? neil : power . looks smokin ' hot on you , like the suit . ashley : thank you . neil : so , how does it feel ? ashley : overdue . neil : i 'll bet . [ both laugh ] one upside of waiting so long -- that extra experience will help you rock the c.e.o . even harder . ashley : i 've been channeling everything my father ever taught me . no secret he 's my inspiration . neil : could n't be a better one . i hope one day my kids , their kids -- they talk about me the way you talk about your dad . ashley : neil , i 'm sure they already do . i 'm not so sure that some of my younger teammates really grasped what i was getting at with my legacy spiel , however . neil : mm . you 'll teach 'em . by example . ashley : i 'm not 100 % proud of all the steps i had to take to reach this milestone . neil : cheers . kyle : the movie was a blast . i 'll have to pick up the graphic novel that they sourced it from . lola : and i 'll have to order the t - shirt . we have to support any major movie with a female superhero ... whose secret identity is a chef . kyle : well , it ca n't be that rare . i know one . lola : i 'll take that . kyle : it took superpowers to pull off today 's operation tamale . it was also ... very sweet . lola : well , it was supereasy , too . i did n't even have to leave the truck . mega assistant boy ted zoomed down to the curb in 10 seconds . kyle : it was a stellar idea . ashley inhaled them . lola : and richly rewarded you , i hope ? kyle : she did , with a knife in the back . but tonight , forget it . i want to hear about your adventures up till now . lola : short but sweet . la vida lola is having a killer first few months , way past my own projections . next step -- get more trucks , hire staff , and eventually open up la vida lola : the restaurant . kyle : big dreams . and not too big -- just big enough . lola : that 's why they 're not dreams . they 're plans . kyle : well , plan on everyone wanting to taste la vida lola : the food . what about the guy who 's lucky enough to ... share it ... in private ? lola : the truck 's takeout . where they eat -- that 's their own business . kyle : not really what i meant . lola : i know what you were referring to . but i think that , um , maybe my love life is not as colorful as yours . kyle : colorful ? [ chuckles ] why would you say that ? lola : well , with summer newman on your résumé , how could it not be ? kyle : we forgot to get dessert . be right back . victoria : hey . what happened to grandparents ' night ? nikki : oh , um , the kids are watching cartoons with your father . victoria : what brings you back ? nikki : my office sent a package to me at the ranch today that i needed ... along with this . it 's identical to yours . victoria : well , there 's no denying it now . this has got to be about j.t . i feel happiest when i 'm out enjoying my favorite things , like spending time in my garden . that 's why i need a humana medicare advantage plan . many humana medicare advantage plans cover everything - from emergency care and hospitals stays , to doctor office visits , and prescription drug coverage . in fact , last year , humana medicare advantage prescription drug plan members saved an estimated $ 6900 on average on their prescription costs . humana has a large network of doctors and hospitals . plans that include vision and dental coverage . and most plans include silver sneakers fitness and a rewards program . all for a zero dollar monthly plan premium in most areas . now i can be happy and healthy and keep enjoying all of my favorite things . your health and happiness is important to us . call or go online now to get your free decision guide and see how a humana medicare advantage plan can help keep you enjoying your favorite things . lola : you picked the best one . where were we ? oh . summer . kyle : yes . i was going to ask you who told you about her , and then i realized tessa . so , here it is . we dated briefly a few years ago . then we both moved back here separately around the same time . sometimes we work together . end of story . nothing intense or dramatic . lola : awkward , maybe ? kyle : it 's not . we both moved on . lola : okay , but totally unconnected to you ... imagine abby , summer 's aunt , is dating arturo , my brother . if abby and arturo got married , technically , i 'd be summer 's aunt , too . so even if i had never met you , summer and i could still be on a collision course . kyle : maybe , but ... why make it sound so explosive ? lola : well , tessa said if summer saw us together , that she would lose her mind . even if she does , that 's on her , so let 's pledge not to play into any of her damage -- be the more mature ones . pinky swear ? kyle : mature . you got it . victoria : they 're identical . nikki : i have told no one about j.t . victoria : well , i have n't told anyone , either . so , who do we blame -- sharon ? nikki : she was tempted to tell nicholas . victoria : yes , but we convinced her not to . nikki : now that they 're split up , she would n't , for sure . and phyllis -- victoria : no , no . she -- she 's the most anti - confession out of any of us . but someone else apparently knows . nikki : or at least suspects . victoria : [ sighs ] well , it has to be recent , because sitting on this information since last spring does n't make any sense . nikki : all right . so , then what -- somebody overheard paul and rey talking about the case and our possible involvement ? victoria : really ? do you think that two police officers would be that indiscreet ? somebody must have stumbled across some new evidence . nikki : like what ? victoria : i do n't know . something random . [ sighs ] maybe sharon was making notes in her mea culpa to nick , and computers get hacked every day . nikki : well , you and i have not slipped up , which means we have no idea who could possibly be taunting us . victoria : i 'm more worried about the `` why . `` what is it that they hope to gain ? andrew : ashley . [ chuckles ] what an unexpected surprise . ashley : oh , hi , andrew . andrew : hi . ashley : you remember neil . you met him a few weeks ago , i think , right ? andrew : i do . hey . neil : yeah . hey , hey , hey . andrew : good to see you . neil : nice seeing you , too . you were doing some consulting and product development , i think , right ? andrew : yeah . actually , i still am . and you -- my goodness , congratulations on that promotion . c.e.o . [ whistles ] you must just be through the roof . ashley : yeah . we actually just sat down to celebrate , so ... andrew : oh ! oh , my goodness . i 'm sorry . and here i am -- i 'm interrupting you . i apologize . actually , i - i do have one very small but urgent , important matter i need to discuss with you . pneil , do you mind if i steal her for just a second ? is that okay ? i promise it 's gon na save us all a lot of trouble later on . nikki : i need to get home . victoria : yeah . i 'm gon na be leaving shortly myself . nikki : i 'm sorry . i did n't mean to come back here and disturb your work . i - i just was too upset to sit through a cartoon marathon . victoria : mom , i totally understand . since i received this letter , i have n't been able to think about anything else myself ... or -- or -- or come up with a clue as to who sent it . nikki : you know what you should do ? you should take katie and johnny and just leave town for a week , maybe two . i 'll come up with an excuse for your father . victoria : i can't . work is piling up . besides , there 's no point . wherever we went , i 'd be looking over my shoulder . nikki : honey , it 's not like we would have to announce your travel plans . i mean , our little mysterious pen pal might be a disturbed individual , but he ca n't possibly know your every move . victoria : we do n't know that ! we do n't know what they 're capable of ! [ sighs ] i 'm sorry . i 'm gon na walk you out . i should pack it in for the day . [ groans ] not like i 'm gon na get any sleep . but it 's better than fighting off nightmares . the moment i close my eyes , they just ... come back . what am i saying ? the nightmares are already back . we 're living in one . [ sighs ] kyle : [ chuckles softly ] want another one ? lola : no . no can do . i have to be up by sunrise . and if i eat this much sugar this late ... kyle : got it . uh ... i can walk you to your car . lola : no , it 's okay . it 's parked right out front . kyle : so , i guess i 'll see you when i see you . lola : um , you know ... where to find me . kyle : bye . [ sighs ] forget something ? lola : yeah . this . high expectations , right ? ashley : so , we 're in the middle of dinner . uh , please make this quick . andrew : oh , i will . i am so pleased that everything at jabot went your way . ashley : yeah , you said that . and ? andrew : and i 'm expected to be rewarded for making that happen . ashley : we 've been working together for months . you have been rewarded per the very generous terms of our deal . andrew : ah , you see , well , that was our old deal . the night of your newfound success , i think it 's time to renegotiate and perhaps maybe even a little bonus if you 're feeling generous . i 'm thinking ... i do n't know ... double my monthly . ashley : okay . well , um ... this is incredibly inappropriate and very obnoxious . i 'm not gon na be doubling your salary . i 'm reducing it zero because your very much appreciated services are no longer required . andrew : oh , i see . so , secrecy is no longer required ? okay . well , then in that case , i think maybe we should include your little friend neil over there in our conversation -- i mean , just to be polite . ohh . so i see secrecy is still very much valued by you . okay . well , i 'll be in touch . you can let go of that arm now . | ashley is enjoying her new ceo job and thinks about getting rid of the jabotique project but kyle shows her numbers that prove it would cost more to cancel the project then to open the new stores so she decides to open the new stores . kyle makes a pitch to be ashley 's coo but she wnts to keep the postion open until she finds someone she can trust to fill the postion . kyle is angry with ashley and points out that he did all the dirty work to make her the new ceo and he hopes that someday people will know that she is n't as ethical as her reputation . kyle has hisfirst date with lola and it goes well until lola asks about summer . kyle makes it clear that he and summer dated for a while a long time ago but it was never serious and it is over now . summer sees kyle with lola and watches as lola gives kyle a good night kiss and summer looks jealous . victoria shows nikki the note she got in the mail and nikki tells her its nothing to worry about until nikki gets the same note and they wonder who could know their secret . andrew tells ashley he needs more money to keep quiet about what he did to help her become ceo and if she does n't give him the money he will tell everyone the truth about how she got her new job . | <s>[INST] [ previously_on ] jack : go ahead . take your seat in dad 's chair . you earned it , and i know without any shadow of a doubt he would approve . ashley : i would like you to meet andrew , who is a fantastic chemist i 've hired to do some freelance consulting and handle some work at jabot . sharon : we have to tie him up before he comes to . where are his neckties ? victoria ! sharon : is there a day that goes by when you do n't replay that night in your head -- every time you see your fireplace and your bedroom ... nikki : no , no , that 's enough . that 's enough ! sharon : i know that i 'm right ! no matter what happens , we 're never going to forget . kyle : should i get it to go , or will you join me ? lola : depends . kyle : on what ? lola : are you gon na ask me out or what ? tessa : are you lola ? lola : sure am . tessa : okay . rey left this for you . i think it 's power tools . is this , like , a drill or -- lola : that 's a handheld power saw . perfect . thanks . i 'll also take a coffee for the road , please . tessa : right . kyle : it 's on me , tessa . lola : hey , you . do n't be springing for stuff yet . i ca n't start our date till tonight . kyle : you 're sawing and ... drilling ? lola : bolting down some stuff in my truck . got a few rattles and a couple of other minor repairs . kyle : have a minute to hang before you , uh , bolt ? lola : [ sighs ] kyle : see what i did there ? lola : yeah . hilarious . two minutes , and then i got to run . kyle : okay . tessa : coffee . kyle : i got it . tessa : so , at sharon 's party , is that who you were excited about ? well done . kyle : thank you . [ exhales sharply ] i 've been up since 4 : 00 , writing this epic report for work . lola : sounds like someone got the promotion they 've been waiting for . i hope your new office has a killer view . kyle : yeah , none of that 's happened yet . but this could be the way i snag it . lots of upheaval at the office . three new c.e.o.s in a week -- my uncle , my aunt , now my other aunt . lola : well , sounds like your turn 's bound to come sooner or later . kyle : i think sooner . lola : would a basket of field - corn tamales help ? kyle : beyond . i 'm starving . lola : not for you . for your aunt . kyle : eh , uh , i knew that . lola : did not . kyle : still ... if you made them ... same answer . victoria : [ sighs ] summer : thank you for inviting me to breakfast , grandma . nikki : ohh . well , it 's not often you get to see a train wreck occur inside of a church . i 've been thinking about you ever since . summer : why me ? nikki : you saw both of your parents ' relationships explode into bits at the exact same time . that could n't have been fun . summer : well , yeah . i do n't like seeing dad miserable , but , honestly , i never thought that getting back with sharon was a recipe for eternal bliss . nikki : you and me both , sweetie . but billy leaving phyllis ? i mean , you like him . summer : yeah , sure . yeah . i mean , i like his energy and his enthusiasm . nikki : and i 'm sure working in the same building , doing projects for jabot , you 've probably gotten even closer . summer : yeah . okay . do you think that i should have to give up that friendship with billy just because he ended things with my mom ? nikki : what , because she cheated on him ? summer : thank you . i mean , obviously , what else could he have really done ? nikki : honey , i would n't worry about it . give yourself a break . and , uh , this is n't an endorsement . it 's just an educated guess . billy and phyllis could be back together before the weekend . summer : huh . 'cause from what mom said , i got the feeling that billy 's already moved on . nikki : she must be a wreck , but she 's probably better off . summer : really ? nikki : you know billy 's been gambling again . victoria just told me that the board voted him out of jabot . it 's just terrible to watch him -- the gambling -- ruin his life again , you know ? well , at least this time , victoria wo n't have to pick up the pieces . summer : but if he addresses his problems and goes back to being the guy that we all know and ... like , then would n't you want him to find someone new that makes him happy -- someone that you like better than my mom ? nikki : what , you already have somebody you want to fix him up with ? phyllis would love that . summer : no . i can promise you that that is something i would never do . additional sponsorship ted : what time would you prefer the staff meeting ? ashley : i guess as soon as they all can get here . i want to see all the heads of the departments and representatives from fenmore 's , phyllis included . neil : hey . do n't mean to interrupt your flow of power here , but , uh , how you doing ? good to see you . ted : ms. abbott 's already in full command . i 'm ted , her new assistant . neil : ah . ted : it 's such an honor to meet you . hamilton - winters is such an exciting company . please give my best to your son devon . neil : sure . thanks . yeah . i appreciate that . ashley : hi . neil : hey , you . ashley : oh . neil : i like that kid . ashley : yeah . i like presents . neil : i bet you do , and you know what ? there 's a little something that will set the tone around here . check this out . ashley : [ laughs ] were you up all night , crafting ? neil : oh , you know me . i like to load up that turntable with some cool , smooth jazz , and that 's when i really get crafty . ashley : well , you know what i 'm gon na do ? neil : what ? ashley : i am going to put this right here so everybody at the meeting today gets the message . neil : just try to manage your expectations . ashley : i 'm expecting opposition , both subtle and otherwise , and that 's why i 'm going to confront the leaders head - on . they can either help me drive this train down the track of my choice , or they can jump off at the next station . neil : you know , why do n't you tell me all about it at dinner tonight , okay ? ashley : i already inked you in . lola : so , behind those delectable fragrances and glamorous tv commercials , all that 's going on ? you swear ? kyle : those are only the recent events . beauty can be an ugly business . lola : you want more irony ? most of my relatives back in miami are doing all the same shady stuff to each other -- for free . kyle : so , you and i are on the same hideous page . cool . lola : it 's bad enough that they 're already battling each other , and then they expect you to pick a side -- theirs . kyle : [ sighs ] funny you should say that . ashley just called a staff meeting ... in one hour . just enough time to proofread , print , and pray . lola : do n't trip . i like it . kyle : you have n't read it . lola : not the report . the mind - set -- determined , proactive , on about everything , always . always in the zone , and when setbacks come flying at you , bam ! -- you crush 'em . or even better , dodge and avoid them completely . kyle : so , that 's your secret . lola : one of them . kyle : well , let 's dodge one of those setbacks right now . our date tonight -- what do you want to do on it ? your call . lola : how 'bout a movie ? and we 'll catch a later showtime if you get stuck at work . kyle : no chance . that 's a setback i 'll dodge on my own . [ sighs ] lola : how 'bout we meet back here at 6 : 00ish ? kyle : 5 : 30 , sharp . hey , you said it -- determined , proactive , high expectations . i added a third one . tessa : top you off ? lola : yeah , thanks . tessa : so , i do n't mean to be nosy . okay . well , actually i did . how 'd you two meet ? lola : he got lunch at my food truck and then , in the space of one minute , annoyed me more than any guy i have ever met . tessa : ooh . was it the cute kind of annoying ? lola : you know , like , the hardcore , old - school kind of annoying . afterwards , i almost went on the food - truck review website and gave him an `` f `` as a customer . tessa : well , clearly , his score improved since now you 're dating . lola : tonight 's our first , so ... ask me after that . anyways , i have a food delivery and some repairs to do . but , you know , i kept bumping into kyle , really wanting to hate him , but i didn't . and after seeing him today , i 'm actually looking forward to our date . tessa : me , too . and that 's really abnormal . i do not matchmake . i never watch those romance reality shows where damaged people claw each other 's eyes out just to meet someone and fall in love and get married to someone you met two weeks ago . so , why do you care ? tessa : kyle 's ex -- she 's kind of a nightmare . horrible to any guy who likes her , no interest , of course , until he finds someone knew . and you 're an upgrade in every way . she 's gon na lose her mind , and i 'm gon na love to watch it . [ chuckles ] lola : so , um ... who is kyle 's ex ? tessa : ugh . her name is summer newman . lola : [ scoffs ] newman ? nikki : do you really have to go ? summer : yeah . it 's ashley 's first staff meeting . i should probably be there . nikki : i understand . summer : wo n't be much fun , though , watching her try to scrub any trace of billy off of jabot . nikki : what could billy have done to turn people against him so much ? do you know ? summer : i guess he made some questionable choices , but , no , i do n't know the details . nikki : well , whatever he 's done , i 'm sure he 's ashamed . summer : i hope not . nikki : you know , if billy puts in the work , he can grow from this , and then he can leave all these poor decisions behind him . lola : all done . would you hold on to this for rey for when you see him ? tessa : oh , yeah . i mean , he is the unofficial crimson lights handyman . he does love coming to the rescue . i 'm not complaining , though , 'cause if it were n't for rey , i would n't be so good at fixing up my truck . tessa : okay . so , you can cook and change your oil ? wow . you really are the anti - summer . lola : i do n't know this girl , but i 'll take it as a compliment . so , if she 's not in the kitchen or in the garage , what does she do ? tessa : uh , her mom 's , like , a big deal at fenmore 's , so her mom handed her an office job , which seems pretty cushy since she 's only working like 20 hours a week , and being victor newman 's granddaughter comes with a massive trust fund , so it 's not like she 's trying to support herself . lola : wow . you called it . yeah , summer and i are nothing alike . tessa : congratulations . ashley : thank you , everybody , for squeezing this in . summer , lauren and i have been trying to reach your mother , who 's also late . is she on her way ? summer : um , well , i have n't heard from her today , and given the recent events ... ashley : given those , i would think she would do whatever she could to be here . i need to know that my team is working in sync , and that includes fenmore 's . lauren : um , i will make sure that phyllis is on track and up to speed . ashley : thank you so much . anyway , i called this meeting because i want to put the turmoil and confusion to rest . throughout my life , i 've had a personal touchstone , my father and mentor , john abbott . i would like us to use his vision and his wisdom as a guiding light as we move this company forward . and the heartbeat of jabot has always been innovation . my father never assumed that a customer would be satisfied next season with something he or she purchased yesterday , so , to that end , i 'm returning our focus and our funding to r & d . lauren : and where are these funds gon na be coming from , just out of curiosity ? ashley : i think the most logical choice would be jaboutiques -- either scaling them back or eradicating them completely . and i 'm aware that the next few quarters might be a little tricky , but , believe me , it will be well worth your hard work . i 'm going to do everything in my power to make myself available to you each and every day , to continue john abbott 's legacy , starting right now . if anybody wants to stick around and chat , i 'm here . [ sighs ] thanks for coming . kyle : i had a feeling you might want to put the jaboutiques on the chopping block sooner rather than later , so last night i conducted an in - depth review of all of our leases , suppliers , shipping contracts , and the allocated ad budget for the launch . ashley : any conclusions ? kyle : oh , yeah , but ... you 're not going to like them . [ door opens ] nikki : hey , honey . victoria : hi , mom . [ door closes ] nikki : i am heading over to your house to pick up johnny and katie for grandparent night . victoria : that 's so great . they were extremely disappointed when i told them they would n't be spending their special weeknights with daddy for a while . nikki : your father and i are happy to help out whenever you need it . can you join us for pasta ? victoria : no , i can't . the kids eat early , and , uh , i 'm swamped . i have n't even gotten through half of what i need to today . nikki : all right . well , we 'll feed them , play some games , put their jammies on , and send them home . they 'll be ready for bed . victoria : great . thanks . all good . nikki : is something bothering you ? victoria : mom , i did n't want to show you this because i did n't want to freak you out . this -- this came in the mail for me yesterday . nikki : oh , my god . nikki : is this the first letter you 've gotten like this ? victoria : yes . just that one . nikki : no weird phone calls , voicemails , texts from unknown numbers ? victoria : nothing . every time my phone makes a noise , i 'm afraid to check it.- [ sighs ] nikki : i hate to see your nerves on edge again . victoria : mom , how can i be calm ? we have no recourse . it 's not like i can go to the police with something like this . nikki : what about a private investigator -- a discreet one ? victoria : discreet enough for a murder confession ? no ! we ca n't tell anyone . promise me that you won't . nikki : no , of course i won't . i just want to make sure you and i are rational about this . victoria : somebody else knows about that night . nikki : now , we do n't know that . you are a prominent woman in this town , and it could be some bored bully playing a prank . victoria : so , it 's just a coincidence ? nikki : there is nothing in this letter to say otherwise . i mean , there 's no mention of j.t . there 's no hint of what you supposedly did . it could be a disgruntled employee . even if it is about j.t . , why would this person target you ? i mean , i 'm the one who killed him . victoria : he left you no choice . nikki : well , with this , we do have a choice , okay ? we can choose to ignore this . this sentence says nothing . it proves nothing . victoria : you 're right . it doesn't . [ sighs ] nikki : honey . victoria : have you gone through your mail here -- today 's and yesterday 's ? nikki : yes , all of it . no anonymous letters . honey , i - i do n't want you to obsess about this , okay ? please , resist the urge . victoria : i 'll try . i promise . nikki : okay . kyle : that 's perfect . send over the estimate , and i 'll get back to you shortly . all right . talk soon . ashley : kyle , this is incredibly impressive . i ca n't believe you did this all in one night . kyle : i thought it was important for you to have every figure and all the data easily accessible . ashley : well , thank you . and thank you for the tamales , by the way . kyle : tamales ? ashley : well , yeah . they said they were from you . la vida lola is my favorite gourmet food truck . i thought you 'd be working through lunch . ashley : you were right . by the way , did you ever consider that maybe nick newman would be open to lowering the penalties for those early terminated leases of ours ? i mean , maybe they 're open for negotiation ? kyle : i did , which led me to create appendix b . if you 'll flip to the end , i did a cost analysis of canceling the entire chain of boutiques if we could void our contracts with dark horse . ashley : all this and tamales , too ? you really do think of everything , do n't you ? kyle : and it would cost more to cancel the entire project than to go ahead with the launch -- much , much more . ashley : wow . okay . well , that settles it , does n't it ? look out , shoppers . you can have jaboutiques whether you want them or not . kyle : i thought jaboutiques were always reckless and ill - advised . ashley : exactly , and that 's what we would be if we eradicated them , so ... anything else ? kyle : uh , one more thing . my board vote yesterday was not a comment on your vision for jabot , which i back 100 % . ashley : you were supporting your dad . you know , how could i hold that against you ? kyle : so , you do n't ? ashley : not a bit . kyle : i am so relieved to hear you say that . ashley : did you think i was gon na be petty about it ? kyle : no , 'cause i 'm that excited for the future of this company and building it with you . we 're out of damage control , so it 's all about the innovation image , propelling jabot to new heights . sky 's the limit . and i 'll be right there behind you , providing the same analysis and strategy you saw in that report . you can count on me . ashley : i already do . kyle : i think we could maximize harmony and effectiveness if i were your c.o.o . let me amend . i know we could . ashley : you know , i 'm gon na leave that position vacant for now . kyle : vacant ? so ... you 'd rather have no c.o.o . than give me the job ? ashley : that 's not what i said . kyle : i think you did . ashley : that is a crucial position , you have to admit . whoever fills it is my right hand , basically . it has to be somebody that i trust implicitly . kyle : do n't need to start sifting through résumés . i 'm right here . you know you can trust me . i 've proven that . constantly . ashley : you know how i felt about the tactics that you used against billy . kyle : to get billy out of here . as discussed . like you wanted . ashley : i never wanted you to push a recovering gambling addict back to it . i told you that . kyle : billy was gambling all on his own way before . ashley : okay , but it was your manipulation that pushed him on the downward spiral to rock bottom , and you know it , just as you planned . kyle : you promised to reward me for my loyalty to you . ashley : you still have a job , kyle . everybody else would have fired you for what you did -- to your uncle . kyle : he did it to himself . ashley : the minute you came to me and told me about your idea to use billy 's gambling against him , i said no ! kyle : and made a mental note to cross me off the c.o.o . list , without telling me , until you secured billy 's job . ashley : i deserve it . i did everything by the book along the way . kyle : because you had me doing all the real work as henchman and scapegoat , while you kept your hands as clean as those phony ethics you were just touting to everyone , and you call me sneaky and opportunistic ? ashley : insubordinate -- let 's add that one to the list , you keep this up . kyle : my apologies , ma'am . you 've taken so much care of that image you crafted of yours -- heroic and full of integrity -- and the world 's buying it ... for now . i 'm cool being in the vanguard . been there my whole career . the world always catches up . ashley : we 're done here , kyle . goodbye . kyle : i ca n't wait until your true colors start trending .

[ chuckles ] why would you say that ? lola : well , with summer newman on your résumé , how could it not be ? kyle : we forgot to get dessert . be right back . victoria : hey . what happened to grandparents ' night ? nikki : oh , um , the kids are watching cartoons with your father . victoria : what brings you back ? nikki : my office sent a package to me at the ranch today that i needed ... along with this . it 's identical to yours . victoria : well , there 's no denying it now . this has got to be about j.t . i feel happiest when i 'm out enjoying my favorite things , like spending time in my garden . that 's why i need a humana medicare advantage plan . many humana medicare advantage plans cover everything - from emergency care and hospitals stays , to doctor office visits , and prescription drug coverage . in fact , last year , humana medicare advantage prescription drug plan members saved an estimated $ 6900 on average on their prescription costs . humana has a large network of doctors and hospitals . plans that include vision and dental coverage . and most plans include silver sneakers fitness and a rewards program . all for a zero dollar monthly plan premium in most areas . now i can be happy and healthy and keep enjoying all of my favorite things . your health and happiness is important to us . call or go online now to get your free decision guide and see how a humana medicare advantage plan can help keep you enjoying your favorite things . lola : you picked the best one . where were we ? oh . summer . kyle : yes . i was going to ask you who told you about her , and then i realized tessa . so , here it is . we dated briefly a few years ago . then we both moved back here separately around the same time . sometimes we work together . end of story . nothing intense or dramatic . lola : awkward , maybe ? kyle : it 's not . we both moved on . lola : okay , but totally unconnected to you ... imagine abby , summer 's aunt , is dating arturo , my brother . if abby and arturo got married , technically , i 'd be summer 's aunt , too . so even if i had never met you , summer and i could still be on a collision course . kyle : maybe , but ... why make it sound so explosive ? lola : well , tessa said if summer saw us together , that she would lose her mind . even if she does , that 's on her , so let 's pledge not to play into any of her damage -- be the more mature ones . pinky swear ? kyle : mature . you got it . victoria : they 're identical . nikki : i have told no one about j.t . victoria : well , i have n't told anyone , either . so , who do we blame -- sharon ? nikki : she was tempted to tell nicholas . victoria : yes , but we convinced her not to . nikki : now that they 're split up , she would n't , for sure . and phyllis -- victoria : no , no . she -- she 's the most anti - confession out of any of us . but someone else apparently knows . nikki : or at least suspects . victoria : [ sighs ] well , it has to be recent , because sitting on this information since last spring does n't make any sense . nikki : all right . so , then what -- somebody overheard paul and rey talking about the case and our possible involvement ? victoria : really ? do you think that two police officers would be that indiscreet ? somebody must have stumbled across some new evidence . nikki : like what ? victoria : i do n't know . something random . [ sighs ] maybe sharon was making notes in her mea culpa to nick , and computers get hacked every day . nikki : well , you and i have not slipped up , which means we have no idea who could possibly be taunting us . victoria : i 'm more worried about the `` why . `` what is it that they hope to gain ? andrew : ashley .

[ whistles ] you must just be through the roof . ashley : yeah . we actually just sat down to celebrate , so ... andrew : oh ! oh , my goodness . i 'm sorry . and here i am -- i 'm interrupting you . i apologize . actually , i - i do have one very small but urgent , important matter i need to discuss with you . pneil , do you mind if i steal her for just a second ? is that okay ? i promise it 's gon na save us all a lot of trouble later on . nikki : i need to get home . victoria : yeah . i 'm gon na be leaving shortly myself . nikki : i 'm sorry . i did n't mean to come back here and disturb your work . i - i just was too upset to sit through a cartoon marathon . victoria : mom , i totally understand . since i received this letter , i have n't been able to think about anything else myself ... or -- or -- or come up with a clue as to who sent it . nikki : you know what you should do ? you should take katie and johnny and just leave town for a week , maybe two . i 'll come up with an excuse for your father . victoria : i can't . work is piling up . besides , there 's no point . wherever we went , i 'd be looking over my shoulder . nikki : honey , it 's not like we would have to announce your travel plans . i mean , our little mysterious pen pal might be a disturbed individual , but he ca n't possibly know your every move . victoria : we do n't know that ! we do n't know what they 're capable of ! [ sighs ] i 'm sorry . i 'm gon na walk you out . i should pack it in for the day . [ groans ] not like i 'm gon na get any sleep . but it 's better than fighting off nightmares . the moment i close my eyes , they just ... come back . what am i saying ? the nightmares are already back . we 're living in one . [ sighs ] kyle : [ chuckles softly ] want another one ? lola : no . no can do . i have to be up by sunrise . and if i eat this much sugar this late ... kyle : got it . uh ... i can walk you to your car . lola : no , it 's okay . it 's parked right out front . kyle : so , i guess i 'll see you when i see you . lola : um , you know ... where to find me . kyle : bye . [ sighs ] forget something ? lola : yeah . this . high expectations , right ? ashley : so , we 're in the middle of dinner . uh , please make this quick . andrew : oh , i will . i am so pleased that everything at jabot went your way . ashley : yeah , you said that . and ? andrew : and i 'm expected to be rewarded for making that happen . ashley : we 've been working together for months . you have been rewarded per the very generous terms of our deal . andrew : ah , you see , well , that was our old deal . the night of your newfound success , i think it 's time to renegotiate and perhaps maybe even a little bonus if you 're feeling generous . i 'm thinking ... i do n't know ... double my monthly . ashley : okay . well , um ... this is incredibly inappropriate and very obnoxious . i 'm not gon na be doubling your salary . i 'm reducing it zero because your very much appreciated services are no longer required . andrew : oh , i see . so , secrecy is no longer required ? okay . well , then in that case , i think maybe we should include your little friend neil over there in our conversation -- i mean , just to be polite . ohh . so i see secrecy is still very much valued by you . okay . well , i 'll be in touch . you can let go of that arm now .Summarize.[/INST]ashley is enjoying her new ceo job and thinks about getting rid of the jabotique project but kyle shows her numbers that prove it would cost more to cancel the project then to open the new stores so she decides to open the new stores . kyle makes a pitch to be ashley 's coo but she wnts to keep the postion open until she finds someone she can trust to fill the postion . kyle is angry with ashley and points out that he did all the dirty work to make her the new ceo and he hopes that someday people will know that she is n't as ethical as her reputation . kyle has hisfirst date with lola and it goes well until lola asks about summer . kyle makes it clear that he and summer dated for a while a long time ago but it was never serious and it is over now . summer sees kyle with lola and watches as lola gives kyle a good night kiss and summer looks jealous . victoria shows nikki the note she got in the mail and nikki tells her its nothing to worry about until nikki gets the same note and they wonder who could know their secret . andrew tells ashley he needs more money to keep quiet about what he did to help her become ceo and if she does n't give him the money he will tell everyone the truth about how she got her new job .</s> | 18,267 |

beth : i can read , mother . i know what to do . mrs. wallace : well , i ca n't believe that you would let sheridan die . and you will pay for these sins , you mark my words , bethie . beth : well , i may pay eventually . but at least for the next 40 years or so , luis and i are going to have a wonderful life together with our baby , and that is good enough for me . mrs. wallace : oh , angels in heaven , you have got to stop her . you ca n't let her get away with this . somehow , you have got to stop her . grace : eve , i really do n't think you should worry . eve : it 's just i am at this hospital so much of the time and liz is staying with us , so she 's at the house and she could have t.c . 's undivided attention if she wants . grace : ok , but you know what ? it takes two to tango . t.c . is not going to look at another woman . eve : well , i 'm not so sure about that . we 've been having a lot of problems . grace : look , sweetie , all marriages have a bump in the road , you know ? you 're going to make it through this bump . you have a strong marriage . liz is not going to put a ntnt in it . miguel : i do n't understand . i thought my student insurance was going to cover this . sam : since the baby was premature , the cost is a lot higher . and your insurance is only going to cover part of it . it looks like you 're going to have to pay the difference . miguel : but i do n't have that kind of money . i can help you . sam : so can i . look , you 're family now , ok ? so do n't worry about it . grace : that 's what family is all about , miguel . i mean , people do n't just forget about the people they love because of a crisis . true love holds strong . eve 's voice : i hope you 're right , grace . i hope my being here tonight does n't cost me my husband . t.c . : wait . wait a minute . we ca n't do this . whoa . uh -- uh -- whoo . i feel weird . i feel -- i feel like i 've been drinking , but we 've only had lemonade . liz : yes . this should make t.c . drop his inhibitions . and his pants . t.c . : liz , liz , i am -- i 'm so sorry . i did n't -- i did n't mean to kiss you . i did n't mean to throw myself on you the way i -- i do n't have any excuse . i 'm -- i 'm sorry as i could be . liz : no , no , t.c . , it 's ok . t.c . : no . liz : do n't apologize . t.c . : liz , i really feel terrible . i -- i do n't know what made me do it . maybe it 's -- maybe the things that 's going on with eve , the problems that we 're having is starting to get to me and she 's never here for me , she never listens to me . but , you know , lately you and i -- we 've been having some very good conversations , some good talks . liz : yes , t.c . , we have . we have been having great talks . i love listening to you . t.c . : yeah . i can tell , and it seems to have brought us closer . whoo . this heat -- i mean , it 's hot . this heat can make people do some crazy things . sheridan : oh . help me ! somebody help me ! beth : [ altered voice ] what 's going on ? sheridan : oh ! oh ! i -- i 'm in labor !

what 's happening with the baby ? eve : well , the baby 's in nicu , but she 's stable for now . whitney : just stable ? she was premature , right ? eve : yes , and you know that can cause complications . whitney : poor kay . how is she holding up through all of this ? eve : well , she had a c - section , so she 's -- she 's not feeling too well and she 's very worried about the baby . whitney : well , i 'm -- i 'm so sorry . i hope everything will be all right . eve : well , we 're all praying . whitney : so , mom , are you all right ?

all right , let 's just say my business partner , who hates me -- i know . it 's hard to believe -- and the toadies on his staff who also hate and fear me , they want to make me look bad , right ? so they run a story , publishing references to some incriminating documents which may or may not be authentic . agent : so you expect us to believe that -- connie : oh , i 'm not finished yet . let 's just say , hypothetically , because they are spineless , spiteful insects , they go and they shred a boatload of papers , which i may or may not need for -- i do n't know -- a libel suit , and let 's just say that in these documents that were shredded are the damning documents that you so badly want ? i mean , i do n't know . it 's just hypothetically speaking , if that happened . would that be obstruction ? because i 'm unclear . yeah . you can go ahead and uncuff her now . a.j . : i do n't want to argue with you , all right ? we 've got way more pressing things that we have to worry about . for starters , we need to figure out a way to jump - start elq 's cash flow . now i sent lavery out on a -- oh , great . good . he 's here . duke , this is my son , michael . duke lavery . duke : oh , my pleasure , mr. quartermaine . michael : actually , it 's corinthos . duke : oh , as in sonny corinthos ? michael : yeah , he 's my adopted father . it 's kind of a long story . a.j . : and not a real happy one . listen , do me a favor -- give me some goods news , please . tell me that you found a way to save elq . carly : why would i know anything about a quartermaine heir ? luke : heather webber told a.j . that -- carly : okay , `` heather webber told a.j. `` -- why should i listen to anything after that ? luke : heather webber told a.j . that there 's an easter egg in edward 's will , something that could upend the balance of power at elq . now , a.j . , not being the sharpest or the most discreet man on the planet , told you . carly : i do n't talk to a.j . luke : ned ashton overheard the conversation . carly : okay , it sounds like you 're in a really bad game of telephone . luke : you know something , niece , and i want to know what it is . carly : okay , let 's say i know something . why the hell would i tell you ? luke : because the same grimy blood pumps through our veins . carly : the family card . you only use the family card when you want something . like the suite . how 's that suite treating you ? luke : the water pressure 's low , and the room service is scarce . answer the question . carly : why do you care ? why should i care ? oh , okay . you 're trying to find out some information that 'll help you worm your way back into tracy 's bank account , which is crazy 'cause you screwed her over for anna devane . how 's that working for you ?

what 's gon na happen to them ? a.j . : unfortunately , we 're gon na have to cut them loose . duke , i 'm sorry that i brought you on only to let you go . duke : i 'm sorry , too . a.j . : so much to reinventing ourselves , huh ? duke : well , at least we gave it a noble effort . a.j . : i hope anna sees it that way . duke : so do i . right now , when she looks at me , she ca n't help but see someone else . i 'll just have to find another way to reinvent myself . a.j . : yeah . michael : too bad we ca n't find a way to reinvent the company . a.j . : what do you mean ? how so ? michael : look , everybody 's focused on our shady dealings . a.j . : right . michael : okay . but this company has done a lot of good . the people need to be reminded that it 's worth fighting for , right ? and then maybe they 'll start investing again . a.j . : i mean , this is n't the first time that elq 's been in trouble . maybe what we do is we start there -- we see how we got out of it last time . duke : pull the records and investigate past strategies for a recovery . i 'm on that . a.j . : all right . hey , good thinking . michael : yeah ? a.j . : yeah , i mean , you saw what was right there , staring us all right in the face . i mean , look , elq 's biggest asset is elq itself . maybe the way that we secure elq 's future is somewhere in its past . tracy : you 're trespassing . get out . sonny : no problem . now that i got proof that you 're the one who leaked that story to connie , i -- tracy : wait , sonny . you ca n't tell anyone it was me , okay ? because ned will hate me . sonny : that 's your problem . thanks for what you did for me today . tracy : that 's it . i 'm finished . connie : no , you 're not finished . listen -- tracy : when my family finds out that i 'm the turncoat , they 're gon na wish i was in federal prison . connie : tracy , slow your roll . i 'm gon na deal with it , okay ? tracy : really ? connie : yeah . tracy : connie -- thanks . tracy : oh ! connie : sonny , wait ! carly : are you blackmailing me ? luke : that is a cherished spencer family tradition . carly : i do n't know anything about a quartermaine heir . luke : oh , baby , the girls in cell block six are gon na love you . carly : okay , fine ! all right , it -- if i tell you what i know , will you promise , give me your word , you wo n't call the cops on me ? todd : your word ? what 's that worth ? luke : it 's better than yours when it comes to family . carly : your word that you wo n't turn me in . luke : done . carly : or todd . luke , come on . luke : all right , spill it . who is the missing q , and how do i get in touch with him . carly : all i know is that jason 's brother may have a kid running around out there somewhere . luke : a.j . ? carly : franco . luke : franco has a kid ? carly : talked about some daughter named lauren . luke : where is this lauren ? carly : i do n't know . he said her bitch of a mother kept her from him -- ca n't imagine why . luke : heather knew the woman that raised franco . she probably knows this lauren , too . that 's why she said there was something in the will that was going to upend elq . what else do you know about this franco kid ? carly : nothing ! i was at a christmas - tree lot with josslyn , this man came up and was admiring her , he seemed really nice at the time -- i did n't know it was franco -- and he talked about how much he missed his daughter . but it all could have been a mind game so he could get close to josslyn . luke : well , why did n't he just say , `` you have a beautiful kid `` ? why give you all that unless it was true ? carly : i had n't even thought about it , but a.j . started babbling about some quartermaine heir , and then i remembered . luke : okay . thanks , niece . you 've been very helpful . you -- uruguay -- very nice this time of year . carly : [ sighs ] [ door closes ] carly : what ? todd : you saved me . carly : do n't mention it . todd : you still have feelings for me . carly : yeah -- anger , betrayal , hatred . todd : yeah , hatred . it 's a strong word . what about the other things ? what about the warm , cozy - wozzily , snuggly - wuggly feelings ? carly : you do n't know how i feel about you . todd : [ breathes deeply ] i 'm leaving town , and i want you to come with me . lucy : rafe has got to be somewhere ! maybe your people -- your people took him . anna : my people did n't take him out of here and leave the gate open . lucy : well , then maybe he escaped . oh , that 's great . so now he 's out there , all by himself , unprotected ! anna : he 's not by himself , lucy . a teenage boy can not escape police custody . someone must have come in here and helped him . lucy : oh , my god . anna : what ? lucy : no one helped rafe . he was abducted . caleb got to him ! rafe : you just killed him . caleb : that 's very observant , rafe . rafe : why ? caleb : who gives a crap ? ! on your feet . he means nothing . i have waited a lifetime to see you . i 've waited your whole life to see you . i was n't about to share it with somebody else . rafe : so what ? y - you 're gon na kill me like you killed my mother ? rafe : how could you say that to me ? ! i would n't harm a hair on your pretty little head . you 're my son . you 're my son . notice breaking , fallingstrands ? carly : i did n't want luke to turn you in . that does n't mean i want to spend the rest of my life on the run with you . todd : would n't be like that . there 'd be other stuff , too . carly : what other stuff ? todd : carly , how do you feel when you look at me ? how do you feel when we talk ? how do you feel when we kiss ? that stuff . carly : does n't matter , 'cause i 'm not going anywhere with you . todd : then i need to ask you to leave my office . carly : fine . todd : give me my money . carly : your money ? todd : i need my passport . carly : no . goodbye , todd . todd : where are you going ? where are you going ? what are you doing ? carly : i 'm done aiding and abetting and harboring , okay ? ! todd : all you did was protect me ! carly : so what ? todd : `` so what ? `` carly : does n't mean i want to be with you ? todd : well , then what does it mean , carly ? carly : it means that i wish that you would n't have lied to me ! and made me look like a fool ! todd : i wish i had n't , also . carly : you ca n't give me what i deserve . todd : tell me what you deserve . carly : i 'm done settling . if i ca n't have the life and the man i want , then i will do without . todd : then this is goodbye . luke : are you aware you 've got visitors ? tracy : never mind that . what do you have for me ? did you have any luck with carly ? luke : i sure as hell did . connie : sonny , we got to talk . sonny : i 'm listening . connie : well , not with the kidnapper standing here . shawn : [ chuckles ] i 'll go pull the car around . sonny : what is it ? you okay ? connie : yeah . i 'm great . i need you to do something for me . sonny : name it . connie : i need you to not tell michael that tracy was the one that leaked the information . sonny : if i do n't tell michael the truth , that means i 'm gon na lose my son . connie : i know that . she 'll lose her son , too . sonny : oh , ned will get over it . connie : no , he wo n't . she messed up , sonny . she 's trying to fix it . sonny : you mean she 's trying to cover her tracks . connie : yeah . sonny : ah . connie : you know what ? she does n't want her son to think ill of her , just the same as you do n't want michael feeling ill of you . you might not have anything in common like her , but you both love your sons . sonny : so you want me to back off for tracy 's sake ? connie : yes , please . sonny : let me think about that . okay . connie : what are you doing ? do n't do that to me . sonny : do n't do what ? connie : you 're playing me right now . sonny : i swear to you , i 'm not playing . connie : you 're gon na tell michael that tracy did n't do it . sonny : i 'm gon na try to convince him that i was n't the leak . i got to figure out another way . connie : okay . i believe you . and i appreciate that . why are you doing that for me ? sonny : because , like i said before , what you did for me today , you know -- just think of this as i 'm returning the favor . tracy : franco had a daughter ? ! luke : maybe . according to carly . tracy : so , if this maybe - daughter maybe - exists , she is entitled to a cut of daddy 's inheritance . luke : mm - hmm . and maybe she could side with you now that lucy coe is out of the game . lucy : where would caleb take rafe ? anna : i wonder . maybe there 's a clue or something in the cell . lucy : a clue -- right . in an empty cell . sure . anna : let me be the judge of that . i 'm the detective . just -- i 'm just looking . aha . lucy : `` aha - ha `` what ? what ? anna : i do n't know . you 're the caleb expert . come and have a look at this . what do you think ? lucy : `` this `` ? anna : right here . lucy : i -- i do n't see a `` this . `` where ? ah ! anna ! no ! no ! anna , do n't do this ! anna : fine . welcome back , lucy . lucy : please do n't do this ! anna , do n't ! anna : enjoy your stay . lucy : anna ! no ! do n't leave me like this ! anna ! anna ! rafe : what are you talking about ? you are not my father . caleb : look at yourself in the mirror , then look at me . you 'll see what i 'm talking about . you 're a morley , through and through . rafe : no , no , that 's a lie . my father is rafe kovich , okay ? i was named after him . caleb : we 'll have to do something about that . and while we 're at it , we 'll fix all the other mistakes your mother made with you . we 're already taking a few steps in that direction . rafe : you killed her . caleb : no . she 's at peace now . rafe , that 's what she deserves . and now -- hey , look at me . now i have a chance to raise you the way you were meant to be raised . by the time i 'm done with you , you 're gon na be the spitting image of your old man -- me ! with depression , simple pleasures can simply hurt . luke : this could solve all your problems . locate that lauren frank and elq is in the bag . tracy : provided she 's not a psychopath like her father . or have some weird electra complex and fall for a.j . 's oily charms . or use this as leverage for something for herself . or if she even exists at all ! luke : one step at a time , darling . tracy : okay . well , you know what ? this is really only half a fix . it puts me in charge of a company that 's in ruins . i need more . i need to repair the damage i 've caused . duke : i may have locked on a solution for our problems . michael : what is that ? duke : gentlemen , i give you pickle - lila . tracy : how am i gon na undo the damage ? luke : darling , if i had that solution , i 'd give it to you . tracy : no , you would n't . you 'd charge me . luke : only a percentage . tracy : none of this would 've happened if daddy had just trusted me to run the company , but no ! he could n't even leave me a couple of shares -- not one share ! all he did was leave me one jar -- of relish . connie : thank you , sonny . my new b.f.f .

all right , let 's just say my business partner , who hates me -- i know . it 's hard to believe -- and the toadies on his staff who also hate and fear me , they want to make me look bad , right ? so they run a story , publishing references to some incriminating documents which may or may not be authentic . agent : so you expect us to believe that -- connie : oh , i 'm not finished yet . let 's just say , hypothetically , because they are spineless , spiteful insects , they go and they shred a boatload of papers , which i may or may not need for -- i do n't know -- a libel suit , and let 's just say that in these documents that were shredded are the damning documents that you so badly want ? i mean , i do n't know . it 's just hypothetically speaking , if that happened . would that be obstruction ? because i 'm unclear . yeah . you can go ahead and uncuff her now . a.j . : i do n't want to argue with you , all right ? we 've got way more pressing things that we have to worry about . for starters , we need to figure out a way to jump - start elq 's cash flow . now i sent lavery out on a -- oh , great . good . he 's here . duke , this is my son , michael . duke lavery . duke : oh , my pleasure , mr. quartermaine . michael : actually , it 's corinthos . duke : oh , as in sonny corinthos ? michael : yeah , he 's my adopted father . it 's kind of a long story . a.j . : and not a real happy one . listen , do me a favor -- give me some goods news , please . tell me that you found a way to save elq . carly : why would i know anything about a quartermaine heir ? luke : heather webber told a.j . that -- carly : okay , `` heather webber told a.j. `` -- why should i listen to anything after that ? luke : heather webber told a.j . that there 's an easter egg in edward 's will , something that could upend the balance of power at elq . now , a.j . , not being the sharpest or the most discreet man on the planet , told you . carly : i do n't talk to a.j . luke : ned ashton overheard the conversation . carly : okay , it sounds like you 're in a really bad game of telephone . luke : you know something , niece , and i want to know what it is . carly : okay , let 's say i know something . why the hell would i tell you ? luke : because the same grimy blood pumps through our veins . carly : the family card . you only use the family card when you want something . like the suite . how 's that suite treating you ? luke : the water pressure 's low , and the room service is scarce . answer the question . carly : why do you care ?

[ door opens , closes ] connie : i just told sonny and michael that sonny had nothing to do with it . tracy : but you did n't tell them that i was the one that leaked the information . sonny : no , she did n't but you just did . duke : i 've spent most of the day with your lawyers and representatives from the s.e.c . and the justice department . a.j . : yeah . duke : trying to secure a deal to unfreeze the company 's assets . unfortunately , i did n't get anywhere . a.j . : we knew it was gon na be a long shot . how 'd you do with the creditors ? were you able to make any progress with them ? duke : no . they refuse to issue an extension . michael : what does that mean ? a.j . : means we ca n't pay our bills . and we ca n't fund our payroll . we 're operating on fumes here . duke : i 'm very sorry . i really thought that i could come through for you . a.j . : it 's not your fault , duke . you know , it 's not your fault that we 're in this mess . but now we stand to lose elq altogether . so much for the , uh -- second shot that i was gon na give you , huh ? duke : yeah . well , my hope was that i could make something of myself for anna , but -- anna : carlson , it 's just me . lucy : where 's rafe ? where is he ? anna : he 's in this cell here . lucy : what cell ? which cell ? which cell ? ! anna : this one . he 's gone . caleb : [ breathes deeply ] oh ! that 's refreshing . well , here we are . hey , look , if at any time this becomes a little too difficult , you let one of us know , all right ? rafe : fine . caleb : yeah ? great . let 's see if we , uh -- we ca n't help you remember a little more clearly what happened ? officer : you , uh , sure about this detective ? i mean , is n't it against procedure to handle a piece of evidence like that ? caleb : oh , no , it 's already been processed by the lab . the commissioner signed off on it . you can check with her , if you like . officer : no , i 'm good . caleb : okay . rafe , let 's you and i go over this series of events one time . rafe : you know what happened . you were there . rafe : i want to hear your side of it , all right ? from the beginning . tell me where you were . rafe : i 'd just gotten back from kelly 's . caleb : you 'd just gotten back from kelly 's . you were over here . is that it ? okay . then what ? rafe : i saw you killing my mom . caleb : no , no , no . where ? how ? rafe : right there , behind you , okay ? you were fighting over that . caleb : here ? right here ? officer , would you mind helping me for a second ? let 's help young rafe here figure out exactly what happened . if you stand in for his mother -- let 's see -- so your mom is -- your mom is like this , rafe , and her assailant is something like this ? rafe : no , you were on the other side of her . caleb : the other side of her . okay , please , turn around , officer . so something here . then what happened ? rafe : i called out for her . she looked back at me , she told me to stay there , and then that 's when you did it . caleb : did what ? rafe : killed her . caleb : killed her . you mean like -- alison : unh ! ohh ! unh ! caleb : like that ? alison : [ groaning , coughing ] caleb : shh ! michael : elq is a multinational conglomerate . okay , this one thing ca n't sink us . a.j . : it only took one iceberg to sink the titanic , and that was supposed to be unsinkable . michael : wait . look . i wo n't accept that . okay , there has to be some way to save this company . a.j . : michael , i wish it was that simple , but either we find some more credit or another revenue source or we 're not gon na have any choice -- we 're gon na have to shutter the place . michael : okay , what about the people who work for us ? what 's gon na happen to them ? a.j . : unfortunately , we 're gon na have to cut them loose . duke , i 'm sorry that i brought you on only to let you go . duke : i 'm sorry , too . a.j . : so much to reinventing ourselves , huh ? duke : well , at least we gave it a noble effort . a.j . : i hope anna sees it that way . duke : so do i . right now , when she looks at me , she ca n't help but see someone else . i 'll just have to find another way to reinvent myself . a.j . : yeah . michael : too bad we ca n't find a way to reinvent the company . a.j . : what do you mean ? how so ? michael : look , everybody 's focused on our shady dealings . a.j . : right . michael : okay . but this company has done a lot of good . the people need to be reminded that it 's worth fighting for , right ? and then maybe they 'll start investing again . a.j . : i mean , this is n't the first time that elq 's been in trouble . maybe what we do is we start there -- we see how we got out of it last time . duke : pull the records and investigate past strategies for a recovery . i 'm on that . a.j . : all right . hey , good thinking . michael : yeah ? a.j . : yeah , i mean , you saw what was right there , staring us all right in the face . i mean , look , elq 's biggest asset is elq itself . maybe the way that we secure elq 's future is somewhere in its past . tracy : you 're trespassing . get out . sonny : no problem . now that i got proof that you 're the one who leaked that story to connie , i -- tracy : wait , sonny . you ca n't tell anyone it was me , okay ? because ned will hate me . sonny : that 's your problem . thanks for what you did for me today . tracy : that 's it . i 'm finished . connie : no , you 're not finished . listen -- tracy : when my family finds out that i 'm the turncoat , they 're gon na wish i was in federal prison . connie : tracy , slow your roll . i 'm gon na deal with it , okay ?

carly : franco . luke : franco has a kid ? carly : talked about some daughter named lauren . luke : where is this lauren ? carly : i do n't know . he said her bitch of a mother kept her from him -- ca n't imagine why . luke : heather knew the woman that raised franco . she probably knows this lauren , too . that 's why she said there was something in the will that was going to upend elq . what else do you know about this franco kid ? carly : nothing ! i was at a christmas - tree lot with josslyn , this man came up and was admiring her , he seemed really nice at the time -- i did n't know it was franco -- and he talked about how much he missed his daughter . but it all could have been a mind game so he could get close to josslyn . luke : well , why did n't he just say , `` you have a beautiful kid `` ? why give you all that unless it was true ? carly : i had n't even thought about it , but a.j . started babbling about some quartermaine heir , and then i remembered . luke : okay . thanks , niece . you 've been very helpful . you -- uruguay -- very nice this time of year . carly : [ sighs ] [ door closes ] carly : what ? todd : you saved me . carly : do n't mention it . todd : you still have feelings for me . carly : yeah -- anger , betrayal , hatred . todd : yeah , hatred . it 's a strong word . what about the other things ? what about the warm , cozy - wozzily , snuggly - wuggly feelings ? carly : you do n't know how i feel about you . todd : [ breathes deeply ] i 'm leaving town , and i want you to come with me . lucy : rafe has got to be somewhere ! maybe your people -- your people took him . anna : my people did n't take him out of here and leave the gate open . lucy : well , then maybe he escaped . oh , that 's great . so now he 's out there , all by himself , unprotected ! anna : he 's not by himself , lucy . a teenage boy can not escape police custody . someone must have come in here and helped him . lucy : oh , my god . anna : what ? lucy : no one helped rafe . he was abducted . caleb got to him ! rafe : you just killed him . caleb : that 's very observant , rafe . rafe : why ? caleb : who gives a crap ? ! on your feet . he means nothing . i have waited a lifetime to see you . i 've waited your whole life to see you . i was n't about to share it with somebody else . rafe : so what ?

carly : i did n't want luke to turn you in . that does n't mean i want to spend the rest of my life on the run with you . todd : would n't be like that . there 'd be other stuff , too . carly : what other stuff ? todd : carly , how do you feel when you look at me ? how do you feel when we talk ? how do you feel when we kiss ? that stuff . carly : does n't matter , 'cause i 'm not going anywhere with you . todd : then i need to ask you to leave my office . carly : fine . todd : give me my money . carly : your money ? todd : i need my passport . carly : no . goodbye , todd . todd : where are you going ? where are you going ? what are you doing ? carly : i 'm done aiding and abetting and harboring , okay ? ! todd : all you did was protect me ! carly : so what ? todd : `` so what ? `` carly : does n't mean i want to be with you ? todd : well , then what does it mean , carly ? carly : it means that i wish that you would n't have lied to me ! and made me look like a fool ! todd : i wish i had n't , also . carly : you ca n't give me what i deserve . todd : tell me what you deserve . carly : i 'm done settling . if i ca n't have the life and the man i want , then i will do without . todd : then this is goodbye . luke : are you aware you 've got visitors ? tracy : never mind that . what do you have for me ? did you have any luck with carly ? luke : i sure as hell did . connie : sonny , we got to talk . sonny : i 'm listening . connie : well , not with the kidnapper standing here . shawn : [ chuckles ] i 'll go pull the car around . sonny : what is it ? you okay ? connie : yeah . i 'm great . i need you to do something for me . sonny : name it . connie : i need you to not tell michael that tracy was the one that leaked the information . sonny : if i do n't tell michael the truth , that means i 'm gon na lose my son . connie : i know that . she 'll lose her son , too . sonny : oh , ned will get over it . connie : no , he wo n't . she messed up , sonny . she 's trying to fix it . sonny : you mean she 's trying to cover her tracks . connie : yeah . sonny : ah . connie : you know what ? she does n't want her son to think ill of her , just the same as you do n't want michael feeling ill of you . you might not have anything in common like her , but you both love your sons . sonny : so you want me to back off for tracy 's sake ? connie : yes , please . sonny : let me think about that . okay . connie : what are you doing ? do n't do that to me . sonny : do n't do what ? connie : you 're playing me right now . sonny : i swear to you , i 'm not playing . connie : you 're gon na tell michael that tracy did n't do it . sonny : i 'm gon na try to convince him that i was n't the leak . i got to figure out another way . connie : okay . i believe you . and i appreciate that . why are you doing that for me ? sonny : because , like i said before , what you did for me today , you know -- just think of this as i 'm returning the favor . tracy : franco had a daughter ? ! luke : maybe . according to carly . tracy : so , if this maybe - daughter maybe - exists , she is entitled to a cut of daddy 's inheritance . luke : mm - hmm . and maybe she could side with you now that lucy coe is out of the game . lucy : where would caleb take rafe ? anna : i wonder . maybe there 's a clue or something in the cell . lucy : a clue -- right . in an empty cell . sure . anna : let me be the judge of that . i 'm the detective . just -- i 'm just looking . aha . lucy : `` aha - ha `` what ?

you are not my father . caleb : look at yourself in the mirror , then look at me . you 'll see what i 'm talking about . you 're a morley , through and through . rafe : no , no , that 's a lie . my father is rafe kovich , okay ? i was named after him . caleb : we 'll have to do something about that . and while we 're at it , we 'll fix all the other mistakes your mother made with you . we 're already taking a few steps in that direction . rafe : you killed her . caleb : no . she 's at peace now . rafe , that 's what she deserves . and now -- hey , look at me . now i have a chance to raise you the way you were meant to be raised . by the time i 'm done with you , you 're gon na be the spitting image of your old man -- me ! with depression , simple pleasures can simply hurt . luke : this could solve all your problems . locate that lauren frank and elq is in the bag . tracy : provided she 's not a psychopath like her father . or have some weird electra complex and fall for a.j . 's oily charms . or use this as leverage for something for herself . or if she even exists at all ! luke : one step at a time , darling . tracy : okay . well , you know what ? this is really only half a fix . it puts me in charge of a company that 's in ruins . i need more . i need to repair the damage i 've caused . duke : i may have locked on a solution for our problems . michael : what is that ? duke : gentlemen , i give you pickle - lila . tracy : how am i gon na undo the damage ? luke : darling , if i had that solution , i 'd give it to you . tracy : no , you would n't . you 'd charge me . luke : only a percentage . tracy : none of this would 've happened if daddy had just trusted me to run the company , but no ! he could n't even leave me a couple of shares -- not one share ! all he did was leave me one jar -- of relish . connie : thank you , sonny . my new b.f.f .

carly : yes . that 's my brother - in - law , jerry jacks . todd : okay , not the name that he gave me when i sold him access to my cable franchise . jerry : everyone in port charles has been exposed to the pathogen . jax : why would you do this ? ! jerry : [ chuckles ] you know me , jax . always up for a challenge . jax : no , that 's not it . you 're desperate . you have to be . mcbain : maybe explain to your brother that things are gon na end badly for him . jason : jerry only speaks one language . you poisoned the city . how you gon na undo it ? todd : he told me his name was james craig . carly : [ sighs ] that 's the name he used when he held this hotel hostage . todd : how was i supposed to know that ? it 's not like we have a secret handshake at psychotics anonymous . carly : you 're not psycho . as far as i know , you 've never threatened an entire town . todd : well , this time , maybe i kind of did . carly : he contaminated the water last night . by the time he got to you , it was already done . todd : you really think he was serious ? you think he put a pathogen in the water . carly : this is jerry jacks . he is capable of anything . jax is trying to figure out what he 's doing now . todd : right . jax . your perfect not - so - quite ex - husband . carly : well , you know what ? thank god they 're related , because that 's the only reason jerry 's decided to protect my daughter . not that that helps my other children . todd : or mine . starr : well , i hope we have better luck today than we did last night . michael : yeah . vegas is a big place . it 's not like we can go door - to - door looking for them . starr : well , let 's just hope that kristina and trey are n't doing anything too crazy . michael : yeah , like ... climbing out of a window and flying down here in the first place . starr : okay , we 'll admit that that is a little crazy . i have n't known your sister for too long , but she does seem like the rebellious type . and she did drop out of college to star in a reality show . maybe she just wanted to blow off some steam , away from your dad and her mom . michael : yeah , and with trey , who told you that his dad has a history with mine and some reason that he might want to get back at him . starr : okay , well , that does n't mean that he 's going to hurt kristina . michael : the thing is , we do n't know anything about trey except for that his dad 's a criminal . starr : that does n't mean that trey is one ! if anyone should understand , it 's us . you did n't follow in your dad 's footsteps . michael : yeah , but i never tried to hide who my dad is or what he does . so what is trey hiding ? why did n't he just tell us the truth about his dad ? joe jr. : connie . kate : kate . joe jr. : apologies . old habits . kate : sonny told me you were in town . did n't realize you had the gall to stay at my hotel . joe jr. : oh , you know i always like nice things . if you did n't know i was here , why 'd you come to my room ? kate : because i 'm notifying all the guests of the health hazard . joe jr. : yeah , i saw jerry jacks ' pre conference . if the water 's already contaminated , it 's a little late to be handing these out , is n't it ? kate : mm . well , for the record , i hope you drank a bucket of it . joe jr. : [ laughs ] kate : do n't let me keep you . i 'm sure you want to spend your last moments with the woman you love . joe jr. : excuse me ? woman ? kate : whoever you were on the phone with . you sounded almost human . who is she , your wife ? trey : so , we do n't need any audio on the preliminary stuff . just get some beauty shots , glamour shots , and we 'll do some narration underneath later on . but , uh , look , listen this time . try to show a little sensitivity to the bride . do n't jam the camera in her face , all right ? all right . you got it . trey : all right . you look beautiful . kristina : [ chuckles ] thank you . trey : yeah . kristina : you know , you 're right . they have some really great boutiques here . trey : i told you . you got the perfect dress . kristina : i just want to make the producers happy . you know , so they 'll recoup their investment on `` mob princess `` so your dad can pay all his legal bills . trey : [ chuckles ] my dad 's everything i have , kris . i ca n't tell you how grateful i am . kristina : stop . it 's not every day you get married on a tv show . be a good story to tell the grandkids . trey : mm - hmm . kristina : my grandkids . uh ... that i 'll have much later than this when i get really married , for real . that should n't be a problem , right ? i mean , the marriage is gon na be annulled so fast , my dad wo n't have a chance to freak out . sonny : dante . jerry jacks was willing to blow up a hotel . he 'd have no problem poisoning the whole town . dante : yeah , well , look , the cdc 's testing the reservoir . if this is real , there 's no telling what jerry put in the water or how to stop this . sonny : i 'll question jerry . i know -- but i know you 're gon na turn me down , right ? dante : look , like i said , john mcbain already has jerry . let 's just hope he can get some answers . sonny : people outside are already starting to panic . dante : i have every available uniform out on the street . sonny : yeah . but you know what ? um , i can get my guys out to a local market , right , and just -- no , to keep order . dante : sonny , it 's not like -- thank you -- not like i do n't appreciate the offer , okay . but i ca n't exactly deputize you guys to be out on the street . it way exceeds my authority , and the mayor would never go for that . sonny : okay , listen to me . if things start to deteriorate and you change your mind , the offer still stands . dante : that 's good to know if it comes to that . ewen : elizabeth ... tell him . patrick : why would elizabeth think you were involved with jerry jacks ? ewen : jason morgan . he put the idea in her head . patrick : why would jason do that ? ewen : you were the one who told me to watch out for him , that he demands ongoing devotion from every woman he has ever been involved with , including your own wife . the way you bust in just now -- almost like you were expecting a scene . and then when you saw us -- how would you believe i would hurt elizabeth ? ! jason : i need you to check on elizabeth , okay , and warn her to stay away from dr. keenan . ewen : now tell me , did jason get to you , too ? jerry : [ grunts ] mcbain : here 's the thing . we kill him , if he dies ... we 're kind of screwed . jax : so , this is why you faked your own death , so you could plan everyone else 's ? jerry : oh , i can assure you , i was shot and fell in the water . bloody freezing , you know . i can assure you . i did n't think i 'd survive . jax : yet here you are , threatening everyone i love . jerry : not your daughter . have you forgotten -- jax : you kidnapped her in the middle of the night , jerry ! jerry : to save her . or would you like her to suffer -- jax : why are you doing this ? ! what do you want ? jerry : well , i was about to explain myself when i was rudely interrupted , and now i 'm afraid that everyone 's gon na have to be very patient . sonny : you know this is personal for me , 'cause i was there when jerry jacks held the metro court hostage . so whatever i can do so nobody else gets hurt ... dante : look , i apprec -- sonny : what ? dante : i 'm just saying i appreciate it . really , i do . but i ca n't have you taking matters into your own hands . sonny : i got to protect people . and not only from jerry jacks . dante : who else are we talking about here ? sonny : joe scully jr . dante : the guy who killed mcbain 's sister ? sonny : he also attacked kate when she was a teenager . scum like that should be locked up for life . instead , he 's walking the streets . i do n't know what he 's got planned . joe jr. : for the record , i was n't speaking to my wife . i ca n't express my feelings to people close to me ? kate : your fellow mobsters ? joe jr. : ah ! i 'm a private citizen . kate : [ scoffs ] look , joe , if you came to port charles to torture sonny and me , i guess the joke 's on you . joe jr. : mm . kate : your charges may have been dropped , but it looks like you 're getting a death sentence , anyway . joe jr. : [ chuckles ] you know , a night at your hotel can be fatal . i can see why people flock to stay here . kate : you know , you do n't seem like a man who 's about to die . joe jr. : well , maybe that 's because i have no intention of it . mcbain : i do n't have time for this . maybe you 'll feel like talking down at the station . on your feet . jerry : before or after the waterboarding ? mcbain : waterboarding ? we do n't do that anymore . we got all new stuff . jerry : are you sincerely gon na let them torture your brother ? jax : you did this to yourself , jerry . jerry : i know i 'm a disappointment , but you used to look up to me . thought i was capable of anything . jax : well , you 've certainly proved that , have n't you ? jerry : do n't give me too much credit . i had a little help with this project . jason : you and keenan ? ewen : did jason convince you that i was part of this , that i was somehow connected to jerry jacks ? patrick : we all saw jerry on tv . i came to check on elizabeth . when i walked in and saw your hands on her , maybe i overreacted . ewen : because of jerry 's broadcast ? elizabeth : you never answered me . just now , when we saw jerry on tv , you said you never thought he would go that far . ewen : i told you . i was familiar with the jacks family from what i read about them . but , you know , jerry 's always seemed a bit off . you saw it yourself . you know , when he held those people hostage , i mean ... now he 's endangering a whole city . to save one woman and one child only to threaten the lives of everyone else . carly : okay , well , morgan 's fine . i got to get in touch with michael . todd : i 'm calling starr . starr : this couch could not have been comfortable to sleep on . michael : [ groans ] i slept great . starr : oh , you did ? michael : yes . starr : is that why you were up so early , watching me sleep ? michael : i was still on port charles time . starr : oh , nice try . thank you for being a gentleman , though . michael : my pleasure . [ cell phones ringing ] starr : oh . it 's my dad . michael : and my mom . starr : dad ? todd : shorty . where are you ? starr : you know , uh , away . michael : uh , w - what do you mean , mom ? why would something be going on ? carly : they have no idea what 's going on . todd : do n't think starr knows , either . uh , when you say `` away , `` where are you ? michael : las vegas . todd : las vegas , nevada ? starr , what are you doing in las vegas ? carly : are you with starr ? starr : uh , i - i 'm with michael , but i - i promise it 's not -- it 's not what you think . todd : you know what ? i - i 'm glad you 're there . i think you should go hit the tables . i think you should play ... starr : you what ? todd : uh , blackjack and -- and roulette . hey -- hey , you know what ? if you do n't play , you ca n't win . starr : okay , this is officially the weirdest conversation i 've ever had with you . michael : okay . i 'll play the numbers . um , i 'll call you in a couple days , okay ? starr : uh , yeah . love you , too . bye . michael : love you . bye . carly : bye , baby . i love you . michael : [ clears throat ] my mom just told me to play her birthday numbers . starr : no , no , no . get this . my dad just told me to have a good time . did someone slip something in his drink ? carly : think we should tell them what 's going on ? todd : no . the less they know , the better . michael : do you think we , uh , should have told them about trey and kristina ? starr : yeah , i - i do n't know . i 'm worried for your dad to find out about it . and i know that you ca n't stand trey , but i still think that this could all be innocent , and i do n't want your dad going into protective mode . michael : is that a polite euphemism for breaking his kneecaps ? starr : okay , do n't sound too excited by the visual of that . michael : mm . well , you 're right , though . i should n't tell my dad about this . at least , not until i know what trey and kristina are really doing here . trey : nervous ? kristina : a little . okay . a lot . [ chuckles ] i mean , i know this is just a stunt for mob princess , but it 's ... it 's the first time i ever got married . trey : me too .

[ sighs ] trey and kristina might be . starr : what are you talking about ? they just started dating . michael : think about it . why else was trey so desperate to get kristina to vegas that he snuck her out of a window ? i think trey is gon na try and marry my sister . look , just start dialing . starr : what , every wedding chapel in vegas ? michael : find one that has a camera crew setting up at an altar . you know trey is gon na want to film this for his dumb reality show . rev . love : so , tell me , did , uh , you two bring a companion on this , your sojourn into marriage ? a witness . trey : oh , uh , we brought the cameraman . can -- can he witness and shoot at the same time ? rev . love : well , that might be a bit problematic . but not to worry , though . i 'm sure that mrs. love would be more than happy to oblige . uh , esther ? darling . esther : yes . rev . love : this young couple needs an escort on their way to everlasting joy . esther : oh , my . do n't you make a lovely bride . kristina : thank you . esther : oh , no need to be embarrassed , honey . a woman in love has that certain glow . rev . love : and esther should know what she 's talking about . she 's been lighting up rooms for the past 50 years . esther : 50 . trey : 50 ? wow . rev . love : yes . we are celebrating our golden anniversary . esther : mm - hmm . rev . love : we got married right here in vegas , actually . not much older than you two , as a matter of fact . esther : june 16 , 1962 . it was a magical night . rev . love : yes . we went to see frank sinatra at the sands . esther : oh , yeah . rev . love : old blue eyes was up there singing `` bewitched , bothered , and bewildered . `` esther : ooh . rev . love : [ chuckles ] that was it . we ran right down the road and got married at the first chapel we found . we liked it so much that we bought the place and have been running it ever since . esther : mm - hmm . we hit the jackpot , honey -- luck and love . and we want to pay it forward . although of the two , now , love is the one that lasts , the one you build your life on . rev . love : look at us , preaching to the choir .

[ sighs ] jerry : is this really necessary ? i wo n't be able to go anywhere after jason 's friendly greeting . mcbain : do you understand your rights as they 've been explained to you ? jerry : would it be too much to ask to retain alexis davis for her services ? jax : she 's still recovering from the shot you gave her . mcbain : get him out of here . jerry : well , ask her , nevertheless . thank you . jax : why 'd you ask about ewen keenan ? jason : do you know him ? jax : uh , just sounds familiar . starr : kristina davis and trey mitchell . she has long brown hair , very pretty . he is good - looking with short brown hair . michael : can you tell me who you referred them to ? starr : well , they would have brought a camera crew . okay . thank you . michael : did you -- do you have an address by any chance ? okay . all right . all right , thank you very much . this is a big help . and , look , if i ever get married in the future , you 're the first place i 'm gon na call . starr : you got something ? michael : yeah . uh , trey tried to book a wedding . when he tried to bring his own camera crew , they did n't let him , so they sent him to another chapel . starr : how long ago was this ? michael : a couple hours . come on . we got to stop this before that tool marries my sister . starr : okay . esther : there . kristina : thank you . esther : oh , baby , those butterflies you 're feeling -- they will disappear as soon as you kiss your new husband . okay .

todd : yeah . carly : because jerry , who held this place hostage -- todd : he put a pathogen in the water ? let 's think about this for a second . he -- he what ? he 's gon na kill everybody in a small town in upstate new york that only a couple million people in this world have ever even heard of ? why ? what would that get him ? carly : so you think he 's trying to scare us into giving him what he wants . todd : carly , i think everything 's gon na be okay . i do . you do n't need to worry . this guy jerry , he 's an amateur . let me tell you something . when i held my hometown hostage , i used dynamite . you know why ?

dante : not at all . let 's go . jax : who 's this keenan guy ? why do you think he has anything to do with this ? jason : [ sighs ] dr. keenan is a psychiatrist who 's working at general hospital right now . originally , he 's from australia . jax : well , that 's a pretty big country . jason : yeah , just to catch you up , we think that alexis was injected out at wyndemere , and i went out there to check it out , and dr. keenan shows up . so i did a background check . turns out he moved to port charles after spending a lot of time in alaska . jax : just like jerry and me . patrick : jason came to me at the hospital . he wanted to ask me a question about when jerry poisoned nikolas . he thinks there 's a connection between what happened to alexis and josslyn . elizabeth : okay . so why involve ewen ? patrick : i have no idea about that part . elizabeth : up until this point , ewen has never given me a reason to doubt him . and i know he cares about his patients . he would never want to hurt them . patrick : i know this does n't make any sense at all , but you do think that he 's suspicious , right ? elizabeth : he said something about not knowing that jerry would ever go this far . patrick : which means that they 're working together . elizabeth : but why ? why would ewen ever want to work with someone like jerry jacks ? rev . love : and now to symbolize your everlasting joy , the bride and groom will exchange rings . do you have the rings ? kristina : we were so excited , we did n't have time . rev . love : oh . trey : i did . kristina : you got me a ring ?

sonny : and by now , jerry jacks is in custody . kate : really ? thank god . sonny : what 's he doing here ? kate : i do n't know . he says it 's -- he did n't know . i believe him . it 's probably coincidence . sonny : no , no , no . you know what ? either way , i 'm , uh ... he 's not coming near you again . i 'm gon na take care of it . kate : thank you . i appreciate that so much . but you 're right , sonny . we do n't have time . if jerry jacks is telling the truth , the pathogen 's in the water . we have 48 hours to live . sonny : i promise you , we are not gon na go down without a fight . todd : well , someone once told me that the glassware in this hotel is not complimentary . carly : it is when you 're the owner . todd : you know , it 's not that i do n't appreciate your concern . if i drank the water , it would n't have mattered . i took a shower this morning . what are you doing ? careful . give me that . you okay ? carly : yeah . i 'm okay . todd : yeah . carly : should n't we be doing things , you know , like getting our affairs in order ? todd : that 's an interesting question , right ? if you only had a little bit of time left ... how would you spend it , carly ? what are you doing here with me ? where 's your boyfriend ? carly : uh ... johnny left . h - he ... wanted to give me and jax some space so we could figure some stuff out . todd : of course he did . took the first plane out of here , did n't he ? carly : i 'm pretty sure he 's already been infected . todd : how ? you 've seen the guy 's hair . he 's not big on the shower . carly : [ chuckles ] are you really gon na complain about johnny ? todd : no , you know what ? we can complain about anything you like . we can complain about his personality . we can complain about , uh , his mob ties . carly : you 're unbelievable . todd : we can complain about his -- carly : we could be dying , and there is this huge crisis going on , and you are gon na spend the last five minutes talking ... you spent five minutes trying to distract me from what 's going on . todd : it was more like 30 seconds . carly : [ chuckles ] thank you . todd : you are very welcome . carly : [ sighs ] jason : you and keenan -- does that name mean something to you ? jax : no . i thought it sounded familiar , but , i mean , i kept up with the news in port charles , so i must have read it somewhere . listen , i 'm gon na go check on my daughter . carly told me you , uh , you stayed with her when she was sick . thank you . jason : she 's a great kid . jax : maybe i can figure out a way to return the favor , think of a way to get through to my brother . dante : we know there 's a counteragent . you said so in your broadcast , so why do n't you tell us where it is ?

's room and overhears him telling trey that he loves him . she gives him a flyer and tells him not to let her keep him from the woman he loves . she tells him that he may be out of jail but he is still facing death . he says he does n't intend to die . she tells him that he is going to hell for what he did . he yells that she is going too for throwing away their baby . sonny comes in , gets in between them , and tells joe to leave the hotel . kate says he can stay , but he might find the service lacking . she tells sonny that they only have 48 hours to live anyway . sonny says they ca n't die because they are n't married yet . carly calls michael and todd calls starr . when the kids reveal that they are in las vegas , the parents conclude that they do n't know what 's happening in port charles and they tell them to stay there and have fun . todd wonders what michael is up to . carly says starr is safe with michael and that they should be happy that they are far away from port charles . michael wonders if they should have told them that kristina and trey are there , too . starr tells michael that something must be wrong with her father because he would normally assume that they were eloping and get on the first flight to stop her . michael says they are n't eloping , but kristina and trey might be . trey , kristina and the cameraman prepare for the wedding . trey thanks her for agreeing to shoot this episode . kristina says they will annul the marriage immediately so her father wo n't have the chance to freak out . reverend love arrives to marry kristina and trey , with mrs. love as the witness . they tell kristina and trey about their own marriage in the same chapel 50 years ago . mrs. love sings the wedding march , badly , as kristina walks down the aisle . starr and michael call wedding chapels and ask if a camera crew is setting up to film a wedding . michael finds the chapel so they go there to stop the wedding . kristina tells michael and starr that they are too late . trey sends a text to his father saying that it is done . | <s>[INST] starr : [ sighs ] michael : [ chuckles ] starr : hey ! what time is it ? why did n't you wake me up ? michael : it 's okay . it 's okay . your watch is still on port charles time . starr : mm . michael : got your complimentary continental breakfast . starr : what 'd you get ? michael : check it out . starr : oh , a bagel . thank you . what 'd you do all morning ? michael : mostly watched you sleep . starr : oh . did you -- uh , i hope i did n't drool . michael : no , you looked beautiful . starr : okay , good . we better get going if we 're gon na find kristina and trey . unh . michael : [ chuckles ] trey : hey , dad . joe jr. : hey , champ . what 's the good word ? trey : it 's almost a done deal . joe jr. : huh . kate : all right , knock on every door , and let everybody know that we 've turned off the water . any left in the room should be discarded immediately . and if they do n't answer , stick one of these under the door . thank you . joe jr. : sounds like everything 's on schedule . let me know when it 's done . trey : yeah , you 'll be my first call . joe jr. : glad to hear it . ah , but , trey ... [ knock on door ] joe jr. : ... do n't come home until i tell you . trey : you want me to stay in vegas ? joe jr. : i ca n't go into details . i just need you to trust me . trey : you know i do , dad . love you . joe jr. : i love you , too . kristina : so ... what do you think of my dress ? dante : is this everybody ? good . roadblocks are being set up . the federal government wants the county of port charles quarantined . people are already trying to evacuate . that means we 're gon na have a lot of mess out there . i want patrols on every major artery and every leftover uniform patrolling places selling bottled water . do n't let this turn into a riot . that 's it . be safe . sonny : saw that bastard jerry on tv . he wants a panic . looks like it 's working . can i do anything to help ? dante : john mcbain just called in . he and jason are holding jerry jacks at gunpoint . mcbain : hey , buddy , you ai n't looking too good . you ever want to eat solid food again , you better start cooperating . jerry : do you honestly think you can get me to talk ? jax : no . but i can . jerry : jax . what the hell are you doing here ? jax : you first . jerry : you 're supposed to be grounded in shanghai . you 're supposed to be in custody . jax : oh , i see . you were the one that arranged for my misunderstanding with customs . jerry : that 's right . it 's to save your bloody life . jax : while you kill carly and my daughter ? get up ! jerry : your daughter is safe , and you were supposed to be , too . jax : tell me that this is all a bluff , a diversion , that you 're really after something else , that you did n't really poison the water supply . jerry : i 'm sorry , little brother . that 's exactly what i 've done . ewen : elizabeth , wait ! wait ! jason is wrong ! patrick : hey , let her go ! ewen : patrick . look , you have to understand . i was n't -- i was n't trying to hurt elizabeth . i was simply trying to explain -- elizabeth : explain what ? ewen : that i absolutely had no connection with jerry jacks threatening the city . you believe me ... right ? carly : johnny , it 's me . um , i do n't know if you have heard the news or seen any television , but please call me the second you -- [ banging on door ] carly : this is you . i know it 's you . okay . thank god that you 're -- todd : `` not johnny . `` that 's what you 're thinking . carly : [ sighs ] todd : did you see the guy on the tv ? carly : yes . that 's my brother - in - law , jerry jacks . todd : okay , not the name that he gave me when i sold him access to my cable franchise . jerry : everyone in port charles has been exposed to the pathogen . jax : why would you do this ? ! jerry : [ chuckles ] you know me , jax . always up for a challenge . jax : no , that 's not it . you 're desperate . you have to be . mcbain : maybe explain to your brother that things are gon na end badly for him . jason : jerry only speaks one language . you poisoned the city . how you gon na undo it ? todd : he told me his name was james craig . carly : [ sighs ] that 's the name he used when he held this hotel hostage . todd : how was i supposed to know that ? it 's not like we have a secret handshake at psychotics anonymous . carly : you 're not psycho . as far as i know , you 've never threatened an entire town . todd : well , this time , maybe i kind of did . carly : he contaminated the water last night . by the time he got to you , it was already done . todd : you really think he was serious ? you think he put a pathogen in the water . carly : this is jerry jacks . he is capable of anything . jax is trying to figure out what he 's doing now . todd : right . jax . your perfect not - so - quite ex - husband . carly : well , you know what ? thank god they 're related , because that 's the only reason jerry 's decided to protect my daughter . not that that helps my other children . todd : or mine . starr : well , i hope we have better luck today than we did last night . michael : yeah . vegas is a big place . it 's not like we can go door - to - door looking for them . starr : well , let 's just hope that kristina and trey are n't doing anything too crazy . michael : yeah , like ... climbing out of a window and flying down here in the first place . starr : okay , we 'll admit that that is a little crazy . i have n't known your sister for too long , but she does seem like the rebellious type . and she did drop out of college to star in a reality show . maybe she just wanted to blow off some steam , away from your dad and her mom . michael : yeah , and with trey , who told you that his dad has a history with mine and some reason that he might want to get back at him . starr : okay , well , that does n't mean that he 's going to hurt kristina . michael : the thing is , we do n't know anything about trey except for that his dad 's a criminal . starr : that does n't mean that trey is one ! if anyone should understand , it 's us . you did n't follow in your dad 's footsteps . michael : yeah , but i never tried to hide who my dad is or what he does . so what is trey hiding ? why did n't he just tell us the truth about his dad ? joe jr. : connie . kate : kate . joe jr. : apologies . old habits . kate : sonny told me you were in town . did n't realize you had the gall to stay at my hotel . joe jr. : oh , you know i always like nice things . if you did n't know i was here , why 'd you come to my room ? kate : because i 'm notifying all the guests of the health hazard . joe jr. : yeah , i saw jerry jacks ' pre conference . if the water 's already contaminated , it 's a little late to be handing these out , is n't it ? kate : mm . well , for the record , i hope you drank a bucket of it . joe jr. : [ laughs ] kate : do n't let me keep you . i 'm sure you want to spend your last moments with the woman you love . joe jr. : excuse me ? woman ? kate : whoever you were on the phone with . you sounded almost human . who is she , your wife ? trey : so , we do n't need any audio on the preliminary stuff . just get some beauty shots , glamour shots , and we 'll do some narration underneath later on . but , uh , look , listen this time . try to show a little sensitivity to the bride . do n't jam the camera in her face , all right ? all right . you got it . trey : all right . you look beautiful . kristina : [ chuckles ] thank you . trey : yeah . kristina : you know , you 're right . they have some really great boutiques here . trey : i told you . you got the perfect dress . kristina : i just want to make the producers happy . you know , so they 'll recoup their investment on `` mob princess `` so your dad can pay all his legal bills . trey : [ chuckles ] my dad 's everything i have , kris . i ca n't tell you how grateful i am . kristina : stop . it 's not every day you get married on a tv show . be a good story to tell the grandkids . trey : mm - hmm . kristina : my grandkids . uh ... that i 'll have much later than this when i get really married , for real . that should n't be a problem , right ? i mean , the marriage is gon na be annulled so fast , my dad wo n't have a chance to freak out . sonny : dante . jerry jacks was willing to blow up a hotel . he 'd have no problem poisoning the whole town . dante : yeah , well , look , the cdc 's testing the reservoir . if this is real , there 's no telling what jerry put in the water or how to stop this . sonny : i 'll question jerry . i know -- but i know you 're gon na turn me down , right ? dante : look , like i said , john mcbain already has jerry . let 's just hope he can get some answers . sonny : people outside are already starting to panic . dante : i have every available uniform out on the street . sonny : yeah . but you know what ? um , i can get my guys out to a local market , right , and just -- no , to keep order . dante : sonny , it 's not like -- thank you -- not like i do n't appreciate the offer , okay . but i ca n't exactly deputize you guys to be out on the street . it way exceeds my authority , and the mayor would never go for that . sonny : okay , listen to me . if things start to deteriorate and you change your mind , the offer still stands . dante : that 's good to know if it comes to that . ewen : elizabeth ... tell him . patrick : why would elizabeth think you were involved with jerry jacks ? ewen : jason morgan . he put the idea in her head . patrick : why would jason do that ? ewen : you were the one who told me to watch out for him , that he demands ongoing devotion from every woman he has ever been involved with , including your own wife . the way you bust in just now -- almost like you were expecting a scene . and then when you saw us -- how would you believe i would hurt elizabeth ? ! jason : i need you to check on elizabeth , okay , and warn her to stay away from dr. keenan . ewen : now tell me , did jason get to you , too ? jerry : [ grunts ] mcbain : here 's the thing . we kill him , if he dies ... we 're kind of screwed . jax : so , this is why you faked your own death , so you could plan everyone else 's ? jerry : oh , i can assure you , i was shot and fell in the water . bloody freezing , you know . i can assure you . i did n't think i 'd survive . jax : yet here you are , threatening everyone i love . jerry : not your daughter . have you forgotten -- jax : you kidnapped her in the middle of the night , jerry ! jerry : to save her . or would you like her to suffer -- jax : why are you doing this ? ! what do you want ? jerry : well , i was about to explain myself when i was rudely interrupted , and now i 'm afraid that everyone 's gon na have to be very patient . sonny : you know this is personal for me , 'cause i was there when jerry jacks held the metro court hostage . so whatever i can do so nobody else gets hurt ... dante : look , i apprec -- sonny : what ? dante : i 'm just saying i appreciate it . really , i do . but i ca n't have you taking matters into your own hands . sonny : i got to protect people . and not only from jerry jacks . dante : who else are we talking about here ? sonny : joe scully jr . dante : the guy who killed mcbain 's sister ? sonny : he also attacked kate when she was a teenager . scum like that should be locked up for life . instead , he 's walking the streets . i do n't know what he 's got planned . joe jr. : for the record , i was n't speaking to my wife . i ca n't express my feelings to people close to me ? kate : your fellow mobsters ? joe jr. : ah ! i 'm a private citizen . kate : [ scoffs ] look , joe , if you came to port charles to torture sonny and me , i guess the joke 's on you . joe jr. : mm . kate : your charges may have been dropped , but it looks like you 're getting a death sentence , anyway . joe jr. : [ chuckles ] you know , a night at your hotel can be fatal . i can see why people flock to stay here . kate : you know , you do n't seem like a man who 's about to die . joe jr. : well , maybe that 's because i have no intention of it . mcbain : i do n't have time for this . maybe you 'll feel like talking down at the station . on your feet . jerry : before or after the waterboarding ? mcbain : waterboarding ? we do n't do that anymore . we got all new stuff . jerry : are you sincerely gon na let them torture your brother ? jax : you did this to yourself , jerry . jerry : i know i 'm a disappointment , but you used to look up to me . thought i was capable of anything . jax : well , you 've certainly proved that , have n't you ? jerry : do n't give me too much credit . i had a little help with this project . jason : you and keenan ? ewen : did jason convince you that i was part of this , that i was somehow connected to jerry jacks ? patrick : we all saw jerry on tv . i came to check on elizabeth . when i walked in and saw your hands on her , maybe i overreacted . ewen : because of jerry 's broadcast ? elizabeth : you never answered me . just now , when we saw jerry on tv , you said you never thought he would go that far . ewen : i told you . i was familiar with the jacks family from what i read about them . but , you know , jerry 's always seemed a bit off . you saw it yourself . you know , when he held those people hostage , i mean ... now he 's endangering a whole city . to save one woman and one child only to threaten the lives of everyone else . carly : okay , well , morgan 's fine . i got to get in touch with michael . todd : i 'm calling starr . starr : this couch could not have been comfortable to sleep on . michael : [ groans ] i slept great . starr : oh , you did ? michael : yes . starr : is that why you were up so early , watching me sleep ? michael : i was still on port charles time . starr : oh , nice try . thank you for being a gentleman , though . michael : my pleasure . [ cell phones ringing ] starr : oh . it 's my dad . michael : and my mom . starr : dad ? todd : shorty . where are you ? starr : you know , uh , away . michael : uh , w - what do you mean , mom ? why would something be going on ? carly : they have no idea what 's going on . todd : do n't think starr knows , either . uh , when you say `` away , `` where are you ? michael : las vegas . todd : las vegas , nevada ? starr , what are you doing in las vegas ? carly : are you with starr ? starr : uh , i - i 'm with michael , but i - i promise it 's not -- it 's not what you think . todd : you know what ? i - i 'm glad you 're there . i think you should go hit the tables . i think you should play ... starr : you what ? todd : uh , blackjack and -- and roulette . hey -- hey , you know what ? if you do n't play , you ca n't win . starr : okay , this is officially the weirdest conversation i 've ever had with you . michael : okay . i 'll play the numbers . um , i 'll call you in a couple days , okay ? starr : uh , yeah . love you , too . bye . michael : love you . bye . carly : bye , baby . i love you . michael : [ clears throat ] my mom just told me to play her birthday numbers . starr : no , no , no . get this . my dad just told me to have a good time . did someone slip something in his drink ? carly : think we should tell them what 's going on ? todd : no . the less they know , the better . michael : do you think we , uh , should have told them about trey and kristina ? starr : yeah , i - i do n't know . i 'm worried for your dad to find out about it . and i know that you ca n't stand trey , but i still think that this could all be innocent , and i do n't want your dad going into protective mode . michael : is that a polite euphemism for breaking his kneecaps ? starr : okay , do n't sound too excited by the visual of that . michael : mm . well , you 're right , though . i should n't tell my dad about this . at least , not until i know what trey and kristina are really doing here . trey : nervous ? kristina : a little . okay . a lot . [ chuckles ] i mean , i know this is just a stunt for mob princess , but it 's ... it 's the first time i ever got married . trey : me too .

[ sighs ] jerry : is this really necessary ? i wo n't be able to go anywhere after jason 's friendly greeting . mcbain : do you understand your rights as they 've been explained to you ? jerry : would it be too much to ask to retain alexis davis for her services ? jax : she 's still recovering from the shot you gave her . mcbain : get him out of here . jerry : well , ask her , nevertheless . thank you . jax : why 'd you ask about ewen keenan ? jason : do you know him ? jax : uh , just sounds familiar . starr : kristina davis and trey mitchell . she has long brown hair , very pretty . he is good - looking with short brown hair . michael : can you tell me who you referred them to ? starr : well , they would have brought a camera crew . okay . thank you . michael : did you -- do you have an address by any chance ? okay . all right . all right , thank you very much . this is a big help . and , look , if i ever get married in the future , you 're the first place i 'm gon na call . starr : you got something ? michael : yeah . uh , trey tried to book a wedding . when he tried to bring his own camera crew , they did n't let him , so they sent him to another chapel . starr : how long ago was this ? michael : a couple hours . come on . we got to stop this before that tool marries my sister . starr : okay . esther : there . kristina : thank you . esther : oh , baby , those butterflies you 're feeling -- they will disappear as soon as you kiss your new husband . okay .

ridge : what is it gon na take ? brooke : what is what gon na take ? just tell me what you want . ridge : what i want is for you to stop having secret meetings with bill in my office . brooke : you had secret meetings with a judge who took bill 's son away . ridge : bill can see his son whenever he wants . he just has to run it past katie . brooke : how would you like it if you had to ask my permission to see r.j. ? ridge : well , that 's a little different , is n't it ? 'cause we 're married . i think we 're married , right ? is that what we 're doing still ? brooke : why would you even ask something like that ? ridge : 'cause i - i have no idea where i stand with you . i thought i was living my happily ever after with the woman of my dreams , and ... now i find out you 're meeting bill here secretly . for what purpose ? brooke : ridge , you knew i was against katie going for sole custody . ridge : well , that 's done . that case is closed . why was bill here today ? katie : will has some homework , social studies homework that he needs some help with . bill : they still teach that ? will : right ? katie : [ chuckles ] and i thought that you might be the perfect person for the job . bill : it just so happens i am the perfect person . what 's the topic ? will : the biggest exports of brazil and stuff . bill : wow . katie : he 's in the advanced class . bill : of course he is . it 's never too early to learn about international commerce . katie : see ? what 'd i tell you ? bill : [ chuckles ] all right . come with me . here we go . first question . what 's an export ? will : something a country sells . bill : to another country . what 's an import ? will : something that a country buys . bill : good . now , what one of brazil 's leading exports is oil . what 's one of their leading imports ? will : maybe it says in my textbook . bill : oil . brazil sells oil and buys oil . will : that does n't make sense . bill : well , actually , it does . and , you know , you 're gon na be investing before you know it , so it 's important to understand why . you know , your dad could have had a career in social studies . but he decided to be insanely rich and king of the world instead . katie : bill ... [ chuckles ] bill : [ chuckles ] let 's pound it on it . mm - hmm . bill : so , they export crude oil and they import refined oil . big difference . you see , crude oil , well , that 's like -- that 's like your dad . you know , it 's unfiltered , smelly , good for nothing . will : [ chuckles ] bill : now , refined oil , well , that 's more like your mama here . it 's , uh , pretty and practical . you can use it for gas , for heating , for all kinds of things . will : so , they sell some oil , then buy some back ? bill : yeah . yeah . you see , brazil has more oil than they do refineries . now , when they buy back the refined oil , do you think it costs the same ? will : probably more . bill : ha ! perfect . you see ? you 're a chip off the old block . i 'm the old block . you 're the chip . it 's a -- never mind . [ intercom beeps ] brooke : i need you to do what 's right . give bill time with his son . katie : you really think that bill would still have shared custody if ridge had n't interfered ? y - you have that much faith in him as a father ? bill : alison , did n't i tell you that i do n't want to be disturbed if will comes by ? right . thank you . when you boss somebody around , it 's important that you end with `` thank you . `` will : hmm . bill : hmm . all right , listen . we 're gon na move on , all right ? i 'm gon na teach you something that there 's no way mrs . stone will teach you in school ... taxes . brooke : i suppose he just wanted to thank me . nobody else at the hearing was speaking up for bill except for wyatt and me . ridge : and there 's a reason for that . brooke : he did n't know he never had a chance . ridge : you 're exaggerating a little bit , i think . brooke : if not for you , the judge never would have ruled against bill . ridge : yeah , i know you convinced yourself of that . is that what you told him ? brooke : no , i did n't tell him . but i really do think he has a right to know what you did . ridge : what else ? what else does bill have a right to ? brooke : i just think he was happy that his son wanted to see him , and he wanted to tell somebody . so he came over here , to forrester . it 's not like he snuck in . i 'm sure that pam probably saw him . ridge : i know steffy did . brooke : oh . she did n't mention it to me . ridge : maybe she was waiting for you . brooke : for what ? ridge : to explain what you did . brooke : like what ? ridge : why you would be making out with spencer in my office . bill : any more questions ? will : what if people do n't have the money ? bill : well , they 're gon na have to earn it , wo n't they ? will : what if they do n't have a job ? bill : well , then ... we 'll have a future discussion about incentivization . katie : i think that sounds like a good idea . hey , will , you need to keep track of your time . will : what time are we supposed to go to andy 's ? katie : well , i asked his mom if he could pick you up here . some of the parents do a haunted house for halloween , and it just opened tonight . bill : oh . katie : so , uh , we probably should go down to the lobby and wait for her , okay ? bill : well , hang on a second , here . i 'm sure they 're gon na be selling all kinds of halloween junk , so , here , take -- katie : bill ! $ 100 ? bill : what ? $ 200 ? katie : how about $ 5 ? bill : [ whispers ] here 's $ 10 . [ normal voice ] now , save it , spend it , or invest it . will : thanks , dad . bill : you 're welcome , pal . i 'll walk you down . katie : uh , are you sure ? i mean , we 've taken up a lot of your time . bill : of course i 'm sure . hey , you know what i think you need more than a bunch of halloween stuff ? you need a watch . will : cool . what 's a watch ? [ katie snorts ] bill : oh ! oh , you 're a funny guy , trying to make dad sound like a dinosaur . get going ! you know exactly what a watch is . ridge : so you deny kissing him ? brooke : bill kissed me . and i put a stop to it . bill made a mistake . he did it . i did n't kiss him back . [ sighs ] ridge : so ... what did you do ? did you slap him ? did you call security ? brooke : i told him before never to do that again . ridge : wait , you -- you what ? you told him before ? `` before `` -- as in this is not the first time this happened ? logan ? this is not the first time ? brooke : i ran into him at il giardino . i do n't remember when . ridge : so you guys were making out in public ? brooke : no , ridge . it was innocent . we were just talking . he was upset about katie filing for sole custody , and he knew how i felt about it , too , and he asked me to talk to katie . i said i would try . ridge : and then you reported back to him in a -- in a private place ? brooke : i went to his office . ridge : once ? more than once ? brooke : i -- [ sighs ] i do n't know . it was a couple of times . i - i do n't remember . ridge : do you happen to remember how many times you made out with him ? is that something you wrote down ? brooke : ridge , will you stop , please ? this is why i do n't like to bring up bill 's name . because this is how you get , and it scares me . ridge : i get this way when someone is kissing my wife and she does n't tell me about it . brooke : i 'm sorry . i should have told you . i just know that it makes you unhappy . ridge : i do n't think you have any idea how unhappy i am . katie : so [ sighs ] what ? bill : haunted house , huh ? will scared of ghosts ? katie : not this week , i do n't think so . bill : yeah , well , sometimes i feel like one . the ghost of what i intended to be . katie : listen , you , um -- you asked me to come up with you . i -- i 'm just waiting to hear why . bill : how about just because i wanted to say , uh ... thank you ? katie : okay . you 're welcome . bill : i thought we were gon na be adversaries now . katie : why would you think that ? bill : well , you know , after the hearing . katie : yeah . um , about the hearing . bill : i thought i would be -- would be begging you to see will , and you 'd be pushing me away because , legally , you could . katie : uh , well , as i 've said over and over again , that was never my intention . bill : but it was , at least a little bit . anyway , uh ... will did n't really have to do his homework today , so why 'd you bring him by ? i thought it would be fun if you could teach him something . and i can see how much you 're trying to be a dad . bill : well , i told you that before judge mcmoron made his ruling . katie : [ sighs ] you did . and i guess i 'm seeing some things differently now . bill : after the hearing . katie : yeah . what was said . what was n't said . how the judge ruled . bill : you have all the rights , i have none . katie : well , i think i know how i am going to exercise those rights . bill : guess i 'd better brace myself , huh ? katie : i 'm not gon na get in the way of you seeing your son , bill . i won't . brooke : i said i 'm sorry . can you just accept that and let us move on ? ridge : well , what are you apologizing for ? seems to me you only regret getting caught . brooke : if i hurt you or make you angry , i will always be sorry . ridge : and you see nothing wrong having an alliance with the man who 's hurt me , hurt my family , hurt you ? brooke : no , this was n't about you . bill was terrified about losing his son . ridge : and you see nothing wrong having a man who hates me putting his hands on you , putting his lips on you ? brooke : it was n't like that . he was just trying to find a way to express his gratitude . ridge : oh , okay . you know , sometimes -- it 's old - fashioned , but maybe he should think about sending a greeting card ! gratitude for what ? you betraying your sister ? brooke : i never did that . ridge : that 's exactly what you did . you chose him over her . brooke : no . i went to her , and i talked to her . i told her how i felt and what i thought . and that came from me , not from bill . ridge : so why do n't you tell me about your -- your passionate crusade to do right by everyone -- everyone except me . brooke : ridge , this did n't concern you . ridge : `` did n't concern you `` ? then why did it take so long ? and why -- why would you keep me in the dark ? brooke : you pressured judge mcmullen , and you thought that was the right thing . well , i thought i was doing the right thing , too . ridge : no . i knew i was doingthe wrong thing . i was doing the wrong thing to get the right result . brooke : exposing yourself to criminal charges , and the judge , too . and possibly destroying his career . ridge : like your sister , i did what was right for her little boy . i do n't think you realize how much i love you . that 's the reason i did n't implicate you . brooke : what if the judge decided to turn you in instead of cooperate ? you think that would be a good way for me to find out ? ridge : calculated risk . i understand you 're not happy with me . but if you do n't tell anyone , we never have to talk about this ever again . brooke : [ sighs ] well , i did n't tell bill . but i felt that i needed to tell katie . ridge : excuse me ? brooke : how could she make things right if she did n't know how things went so wrong ? so i told her . ridge : [ sighs ] bill : okay ... katie : okay . bill : there 's got to be more , katie . katie : no , there 's nothing more . there 's no catch . bill : but you fought so hard to keep me on the sidelines . katie : i know that 's what you think , but that was never what i wanted . i did n't go after sole custody to keep you away from will . i didn't . it 's just that we have to -- we have to have some ground rules , okay ? and they 're -- they 're pretty much the same ground rules as we had before . like -- like you ca n't just show up unannounced . he 's on a schedule . you got to give me some notice . bill : okay . katie : a - and part of that schedule , i - it includes school events and sporting events , and i know that he would love it if you were more involved in those things . bill : absolutely . good point . katie : [ sighs ] and i 'm not gon na tell him that you 're coming until you confirm with me the day before . bill : no , no . right , right . just in case i have a legitimate -- legitimate reason , we do n't want him to be disappointed . katie : i do n't want him to feel like he 's been forgotten . and the only legitimate excuse for canceling the day of is if you have malaria or someone died . bill : malaria or -- or death . katie : yes . bill : got it . tho -- those are the ground rules ? katie : yes . [ sighs ] just do n't let him down . that 's -- that 's really all i ask . bill : i won't . [ sighs ] i 've got to say , katie , i 'm ... i 'm surprised . katie : well , the last time i talked with brooke , she , um ... she helped me see some things in a different light . bill : `` the last time `` ? katie : yeah . i - i 'm sure you know that she did n't want you to lose custody , and i guess she , um , got through to me . so ... i 'm gon na go . and , um , since we 're saying thank you today , thank you for wanting to be will 's dad again . bill : [ sighs ] ridge : wow . and here i thought you were concerned about me being dragged off in handcuffs . brooke : katie 's not gon na tell anybody . ridge : katie 's gon na tell her husband . and thorne and i , we fight on a regular basis , and next time we do , i 'm sure -- brooke : thorne would never . ridge : do you have any idea who 's at the top of my list of people who would never ? brooke : ridge , you may see it like that , but it 's not the way you 're thinking , honestly . ridge : bill tried to kill me . can we at least agree on that ? brooke : [ sighs ] i do n't think he intended to do that -- ridge : damn it ! do you have any idea how angry you make me when you defend that animal ? `` he did n't intend to `` ?

'cause we 're married . i think we 're married , right ? is that what we 're doing still ? brooke : why would you even ask something like that ? ridge : 'cause i - i have no idea where i stand with you . i thought i was living my happily ever after with the woman of my dreams , and ... now i find out you 're meeting bill here secretly . for what purpose ? brooke : ridge , you knew i was against katie going for sole custody . ridge : well , that 's done . that case is closed . why was bill here today ? katie : will has some homework , social studies homework that he needs some help with . bill : they still teach that ? will : right ? katie : [ chuckles ] and i thought that you might be the perfect person for the job . bill : it just so happens i am the perfect person . what 's the topic ? will : the biggest exports of brazil and stuff . bill : wow . katie : he 's in the advanced class . bill : of course he is . it 's never too early to learn about international commerce . katie : see ? what 'd i tell you ? bill : [ chuckles ] all right . come with me . here we go . first question . what 's an export ? will : something a country sells . bill : to another country . what 's an import ? will : something that a country buys . bill : good . now , what one of brazil 's leading exports is oil . what 's one of their leading imports ? will : maybe it says in my textbook . bill : oil . brazil sells oil and buys oil . will : that does n't make sense . bill : well , actually , it does . and , you know , you 're gon na be investing before you know it , so it 's important to understand why . you know , your dad could have had a career in social studies . but he decided to be insanely rich and king of the world instead . katie : bill ... [ chuckles ] bill : [ chuckles ] let 's pound it on it . mm - hmm . bill : so , they export crude oil and they import refined oil . big difference . you see , crude oil , well , that 's like -- that 's like your dad . you know , it 's unfiltered , smelly , good for nothing . will : [ chuckles ] bill : now , refined oil , well , that 's more like your mama here . it 's , uh , pretty and practical . you can use it for gas , for heating , for all kinds of things . will : so , they sell some oil , then buy some back ? bill : yeah . yeah . you see , brazil has more oil than they do refineries . now , when they buy back the refined oil , do you think it costs the same ? will : probably more . bill : ha ! perfect . you see ? you 're a chip off the old block . i 'm the old block . you 're the chip . it 's a -- never mind . [ intercom beeps ] brooke : i need you to do what 's right . give bill time with his son . katie : you really think that bill would still have shared custody if ridge had n't interfered ? y - you have that much faith in him as a father ? bill : alison , did n't i tell you that i do n't want to be disturbed if will comes by ? right . thank you . when you boss somebody around , it 's important that you end with `` thank you . `` will : hmm . bill : hmm . all right , listen . we 're gon na move on , all right ? i 'm gon na teach you something that there 's no way mrs . stone will teach you in school ... taxes . brooke : i suppose he just wanted to thank me . nobody else at the hearing was speaking up for bill except for wyatt and me . ridge : and there 's a reason for that . brooke : he did n't know he never had a chance . ridge : you 're exaggerating a little bit , i think . brooke : if not for you , the judge never would have ruled against bill . ridge : yeah , i know you convinced yourself of that . is that what you told him ? brooke : no , i did n't tell him . but i really do think he has a right to know what you did . ridge : what else ? what else does bill have a right to ? brooke : i just think he was happy that his son wanted to see him , and he wanted to tell somebody . so he came over here , to forrester . it 's not like he snuck in . i 'm sure that pam probably saw him . ridge : i know steffy did . brooke : oh . she did n't mention it to me . ridge : maybe she was waiting for you . brooke : for what ? ridge : to explain what you did . brooke : like what ? ridge : why you would be making out with spencer in my office . bill : any more questions ? will : what if people do n't have the money ? bill : well , they 're gon na have to earn it , wo n't they ? will : what if they do n't have a job ? bill : well , then ... we 'll have a future discussion about incentivization . katie : i think that sounds like a good idea . hey , will , you need to keep track of your time . will : what time are we supposed to go to andy 's ? katie : well , i asked his mom if he could pick you up here . some of the parents do a haunted house for halloween , and it just opened tonight . bill : oh . katie : so , uh , we probably should go down to the lobby and wait for her , okay ? bill : well , hang on a second , here . i 'm sure they 're gon na be selling all kinds of halloween junk , so , here , take -- katie : bill ! $ 100 ? bill : what ? $ 200 ? katie : how about $ 5 ? bill : [ whispers ] here 's $ 10 . [ normal voice ] now , save it , spend it , or invest it . will : thanks , dad . bill : you 're welcome , pal . i 'll walk you down . katie : uh , are you sure ? i mean , we 've taken up a lot of your time . bill : of course i 'm sure . hey , you know what i think you need more than a bunch of halloween stuff ? you need a watch . will : cool . what 's a watch ? [ katie snorts ] bill : oh ! oh , you 're a funny guy , trying to make dad sound like a dinosaur . get going ! you know exactly what a watch is . ridge : so you deny kissing him ? brooke : bill kissed me . and i put a stop to it . bill made a mistake . he did it . i did n't kiss him back . [ sighs ] ridge : so ... what did you do ? did you slap him ? did you call security ? brooke : i told him before never to do that again . ridge : wait , you -- you what ? you told him before ? `` before `` -- as in this is not the first time this happened ? logan ? this is not the first time ? brooke : i ran into him at il giardino . i do n't remember when . ridge : so you guys were making out in public ? brooke : no , ridge . it was innocent . we were just talking . he was upset about katie filing for sole custody , and he knew how i felt about it , too , and he asked me to talk to katie . i said i would try . ridge : and then you reported back to him in a -- in a private place ? brooke : i went to his office . ridge : once ? more than once ? brooke : i -- [ sighs ] i do n't know . it was a couple of times . i - i do n't remember . ridge : do you happen to remember how many times you made out with him ? is that something you wrote down ? brooke : ridge , will you stop , please ? this is why i do n't like to bring up bill 's name . because this is how you get , and it scares me . ridge : i get this way when someone is kissing my wife and she does n't tell me about it . brooke : i 'm sorry . i should have told you . i just know that it makes you unhappy . ridge : i do n't think you have any idea how unhappy i am . katie : so [ sighs ] what ? bill : haunted house , huh ? will scared of ghosts ? katie : not this week , i do n't think so . bill : yeah , well , sometimes i feel like one . the ghost of what i intended to be . katie : listen , you , um -- you asked me to come up with you . i -- i 'm just waiting to hear why . bill : how about just because i wanted to say , uh ... thank you ? katie : okay . you 're welcome . bill : i thought we were gon na be adversaries now . katie : why would you think that ? bill : well , you know , after the hearing . katie : yeah . um , about the hearing . bill : i thought i would be -- would be begging you to see will , and you 'd be pushing me away because , legally , you could . katie : uh , well , as i 've said over and over again , that was never my intention . bill : but it was , at least a little bit . anyway , uh ... will did n't really have to do his homework today , so why 'd you bring him by ? i thought it would be fun if you could teach him something . and i can see how much you 're trying to be a dad . bill : well , i told you that before judge mcmoron made his ruling . katie : [ sighs ] you did . and i guess i 'm seeing some things differently now . bill : after the hearing . katie : yeah . what was said . what was n't said . how the judge ruled . bill : you have all the rights , i have none . katie : well , i think i know how i am going to exercise those rights . bill : guess i 'd better brace myself , huh ? katie : i 'm not gon na get in the way of you seeing your son , bill . i won't . brooke : i said i 'm sorry . can you just accept that and let us move on ? ridge : well , what are you apologizing for ? seems to me you only regret getting caught . brooke : if i hurt you or make you angry , i will always be sorry . ridge : and you see nothing wrong having an alliance with the man who 's hurt me , hurt my family , hurt you ? brooke : no , this was n't about you . bill was terrified about losing his son . ridge : and you see nothing wrong having a man who hates me putting his hands on you , putting his lips on you ? brooke : it was n't like that . he was just trying to find a way to express his gratitude . ridge : oh , okay . you know , sometimes -- it 's old - fashioned , but maybe he should think about sending a greeting card ! gratitude for what ? you betraying your sister ? brooke : i never did that . ridge : that 's exactly what you did . you chose him over her . brooke : no . i went to her , and i talked to her . i told her how i felt and what i thought . and that came from me , not from bill . ridge : so why do n't you tell me about your -- your passionate crusade to do right by everyone -- everyone except me . brooke : ridge , this did n't concern you . ridge : `` did n't concern you `` ? then why did it take so long ? and why -- why would you keep me in the dark ? brooke : you pressured judge mcmullen , and you thought that was the right thing . well , i thought i was doing the right thing , too . ridge : no . i knew i was doingthe wrong thing . i was doing the wrong thing to get the right result . brooke : exposing yourself to criminal charges , and the judge , too . and possibly destroying his career . ridge : like your sister , i did what was right for her little boy . i do n't think you realize how much i love you . that 's the reason i did n't implicate you . brooke : what if the judge decided to turn you in instead of cooperate ? you think that would be a good way for me to find out ? ridge : calculated risk . i understand you 're not happy with me . but if you do n't tell anyone , we never have to talk about this ever again . brooke : [ sighs ] well , i did n't tell bill . but i felt that i needed to tell katie . ridge : excuse me ? brooke : how could she make things right if she did n't know how things went so wrong ? so i told her . ridge : [ sighs ] bill : okay ... katie : okay . bill : there 's got to be more , katie . katie : no , there 's nothing more . there 's no catch . bill : but you fought so hard to keep me on the sidelines . katie : i know that 's what you think , but that was never what i wanted . i did n't go after sole custody to keep you away from will . i didn't . it 's just that we have to -- we have to have some ground rules , okay ? and they 're -- they 're pretty much the same ground rules as we had before . like -- like you ca n't just show up unannounced . he 's on a schedule . you got to give me some notice . bill : okay . katie : a - and part of that schedule , i - it includes school events and sporting events , and i know that he would love it if you were more involved in those things . bill : absolutely . good point . katie : [ sighs ] and i 'm not gon na tell him that you 're coming until you confirm with me the day before . bill : no , no . right , right . just in case i have a legitimate -- legitimate reason , we do n't want him to be disappointed . katie : i do n't want him to feel like he 's been forgotten . and the only legitimate excuse for canceling the day of is if you have malaria or someone died . bill : malaria or -- or death . katie : yes . bill : got it . tho -- those are the ground rules ? katie : yes . [ sighs ] just do n't let him down . that 's -- that 's really all i ask . bill : i won't . [ sighs ] i 've got to say , katie , i 'm ... i 'm surprised . katie : well , the last time i talked with brooke , she , um ... she helped me see some things in a different light . bill : `` the last time `` ? katie : yeah . i - i 'm sure you know that she did n't want you to lose custody , and i guess she , um , got through to me . so ... i 'm gon na go . and , um , since we 're saying thank you today , thank you for wanting to be will 's dad again . bill : [ sighs ] ridge : wow . and here i thought you were concerned about me being dragged off in handcuffs . brooke : katie 's not gon na tell anybody . ridge : katie 's gon na tell her husband . and thorne and i , we fight on a regular basis , and next time we do , i 'm sure -- brooke : thorne would never . ridge : do you have any idea who 's at the top of my list of people who would never ? brooke : ridge , you may see it like that , but it 's not the way you 're thinking , honestly . ridge : bill tried to kill me . can we at least agree on that ? brooke : [ sighs ] i do n't think he intended to do that -- ridge : damn it ! do you have any idea how angry you make me when you defend that animal ? `` he did n't intend to `` ?

[ scene_break ] gabi : great . someone i do n't even know is here to tell me off . brady : well , wait , hold on . i 'm not telling you off , i 'm just saying things are n't always what they seem . i have a little experience with that . gabi : boyfriend , huh ? arianna : ex . gabi : of course he 's ex , because now you have something better to do with your time . arianna : no , please do n't go . gabi : i 'm just gon na go pass out flyers . seeing as how this is all my fault . brady : whoa . arianna : that 's my sister . brady : you two seem very close . arianna : well , you know how successful i am at my personal relationships . you did n't have to stick up for me . brady : i know . i wanted to .

victoria : you just said that i need to think things through and not make any rash decisions . billy : i did . but my gut is telling me that you do n't need to be at newman anymore . victoria : well , that gut of you has gotten you into some pretty big jams . billy : not this time . jack : yeah , exactly . victoria ! i was n't expecting to see you here . victoria : well , today is just full of surprises . kyle : you still available to meet about jabot collective ? billy : actually , i have a new agenda -- to convince victoria to join our executive team here at jabot . additional sponsorship kyle : i thought victor took a step back on account of his illness . is he suddenly cured ? victoria : he claimed he 's feeling better . jack : last i talked to victor at any length -- this was before the whole adam nightmare -- he talked like a man who had come to peace with where he was in his life . he was content to turn things over to the next generation , confident he was leaving the company in the best of hands . victoria : it was . billy : damn straight it was . victoria : look , i always realized that dad would return to work once his health stabilized . i just assumed that i would be consulted . billy : look , let 's just say it like it is , okay -- victor does n't accept the fact that anybody else can run his company the way he does , let alone better . kyle : well , what if the day comes when he has no choice ? i mean , victor has spent his whole life in control . sure , it 's gon na be hard for him to relinquish it . but if he 's not the same man he was , or if his condition takes a turn for the worse , do n't you want to be there to help him face it as gracefully as possible , spare him any embarrassment ? billy : so , what 's she supposed to do ? stay at newman , twiddle her thumbs until the company needs its butt saved again ? no . and victor ? you do n't owe him anything . and he is not gon na retire . jack : i 'm inclined to agree with billy . victor is a man with a will of iron . if he intends to do this , why should victoria spend the best years of her career in a holding pattern ? victoria : just so you know , coming to jabot was not my idea . it was billy 's . billy : and one of my best in a long time . and , look , victor has made it nearly impossible for victoria to stay on . newman 's loss is jabot 's great gain . abby : thanks . phyllis : okay . so , my only `` motive `` is creating a seamless travel experience for our guest . i mean , what are you implying , that i 'm getting some kickback from our security upgrades ? abby : well , it would n't be the first time you played me . opening night ... phyllis : here we go . mmkay . abby : ... when you parlayed the information that you learned about zoe drugging the sangria , and you turned it into a 25 % stake in this hotel . phyllis : yeah , you should be happy i did . that would have been a p.r . disaster for this hotel . i saved your entitled butt . abby : [ laughs ] yeah . yeah , you are such a hero . phyllis : okay , abby , listen . you do n't have to like me . that 's not the condition of our arrangement . if you do n't like me , too bad . you 're gon na have to suck it up and deal with me . abby : just you ? or you and adam ? theo : this is a business where things happen fast . devon : right . theo : mariah ca n't keep up . she does n't have the instincts yet . devon : well , theo , she had the instinct to keep you around 'cause of your talent . theo : she knew she could benefit from my expertise . devon : yeah . even though she also knew that you were out for her job and ready to stab her in the back . and i warned you about this last time you tried to pull it . i 'm not gon na stand for it . theo : okay , i - i just want to see power communication grow and thrive . to expand the business in a competitive market . devon : right . but i 'm very satisfied already with the way mariah 's running the business . and i want her to be able to focus on the work , knowing that her people are behind her . so , with that being said , you 're out . phyllis : suppose we get back to my proposal . abby : suppose you answer my question . phyllis : what does adam have to do with my being the head of hotel security ? abby : the mere fact that you are even friends with that guy . he tried to kill my father , and he got away with it . and now he is out there somewhere , i 'm sure , plotting ways to come at me and my family . meanwhile , you 're living in his penthouse , and you are enjoying the hell out of all of the chaos this has created . well , let me tell you something -- i am not gon na stand by and let you two screw me over . phyllis : if i wanted to screw you over , it definitely would n't be by making a few bucks out of our hotel - security upgrades . you 'd never see it coming . abby : i 'll take that as a threat . phyllis : you take it however you want . abby : i 'm warning you , phyllis . do not underestimate me . phyllis : wow ! abby , i really wish that you were enough of a challenge to justify this conversation we 're having . [ chuckles ] really . adam is out of your league . abby : people capable of murder ? that league ? phyllis : your brother and i , we deal on a whole different level . it 's like we 're paying 3d chess when all you lightweights are playing checkers . abby : if this is all so boring to you , maybe you should have just left town with him . phyllis : you 're gon na have to deal with me . you 're gon na have to suck it up . sorry . i 'm gon na tell the security folks that we 're moving ahead . phyllis : hello . i 'm phyllis summers . i wanted the honors . amanda : amanda sinclair . phyllis : yes . i 've heard a lot about you . amanda : mm . phyllis : so , how 's your stay ?

devon : it 's not , actually , because i own the company . so , after i tell her about this discussion , i 'm pretty sure she 's gon na agree with my decision . theo : oh , i - i get it . you want to give mariah a chance to do this on her own . sink or swim . you know , it 'll give me more time to focus on my work with lp . devon : okay . you 're not getting it , theo . um ... you -- you have an interesting skill set . you have some good experience , and you have a fair amount of talent . and i really thought i was making a good decision when i brought you in to supervise ana . but it turns out i was wrong , because your ego and your ambition have become serious liabilities . theo : okay , if -- if i could just -- devon : no . theo -- theo . you no longer work for lp , either . okay ? you 're no longer employed by any division of hamilton - winters in any capacity . you understand that ? jack : billy , you and kyle are in charge here . i do n't need to weigh in on staffing decisions . billy : we 're talking about the `` c `` suite , jack . jack : duly noted . and if either of you decides to jump ship , yes , i would like some say in your replacement . but this is different . if you want to hire victoria or warren buffett or the man in the moon , you 'll get no objection from me . so , i will leave this in your capable hands . good to see you , victoria . victoria : billy , i appreciate your support , but i 'm still trying to process my dad 's decision to return to work , along with all of the other things that have happened over the past few weeks . and , yes , my feelings are bruised , but i 'm not going to make an impulsive move . billy : you know he 's never gon na respect you the way you deserve . victoria : thank you . thank you for your faith in me . but i ca n't talk about this right now . billy : what ?

victoria : he claimed he 's feeling better . jack : last i talked to victor at any length -- this was before the whole adam nightmare -- he talked like a man who had come to peace with where he was in his life . he was content to turn things over to the next generation , confident he was leaving the company in the best of hands . victoria : it was . billy : damn straight it was . victoria : look , i always realized that dad would return to work once his health stabilized . i just assumed that i would be consulted . billy : look , let 's just say it like it is , okay -- victor does n't accept the fact that anybody else can run his company the way he does , let alone better . kyle : well , what if the day comes when he has no choice ? i mean , victor has spent his whole life in control . sure , it 's gon na be hard for him to relinquish it . but if he 's not the same man he was , or if his condition takes a turn for the worse , do n't you want to be there to help him face it as gracefully as possible , spare him any embarrassment ? billy : so , what 's she supposed to do ? stay at newman , twiddle her thumbs until the company needs its butt saved again ? no . and victor ? you do n't owe him anything . and he is not gon na retire . jack : i 'm inclined to agree with billy . victor is a man with a will of iron . if he intends to do this , why should victoria spend the best years of her career in a holding pattern ? victoria : just so you know , coming to jabot was not my idea . it was billy 's . billy : and one of my best in a long time . and , look , victor has made it nearly impossible for victoria to stay on . newman 's loss is jabot 's great gain . abby : thanks . phyllis : okay . so , my only `` motive `` is creating a seamless travel experience for our guest . i mean , what are you implying , that i 'm getting some kickback from our security upgrades ? abby : well , it would n't be the first time you played me . opening night ... phyllis : here we go . mmkay . abby : ... when you parlayed the information that you learned about zoe drugging the sangria , and you turned it into a 25 % stake in this hotel . phyllis : yeah , you should be happy i did . that would have been a p.r . disaster for this hotel . i saved your entitled butt . abby : [ laughs ] yeah . yeah , you are such a hero . phyllis : okay , abby , listen . you do n't have to like me . that 's not the condition of our arrangement . if you do n't like me , too bad . you 're gon na have to suck it up and deal with me . abby : just you ? or you and adam ? theo : this is a business where things happen fast . devon : right . theo : mariah ca n't keep up . she does n't have the instincts yet . devon : well , theo , she had the instinct to keep you around 'cause of your talent . theo : she knew she could benefit from my expertise . devon : yeah . even though she also knew that you were out for her job and ready to stab her in the back . and i warned you about this last time you tried to pull it . i 'm not gon na stand for it . theo : okay , i - i just want to see power communication grow and thrive . to expand the business in a competitive market . devon : right . but i 'm very satisfied already with the way mariah 's running the business . and i want her to be able to focus on the work , knowing that her people are behind her . so , with that being said , you 're out . phyllis : suppose we get back to my proposal . abby : suppose you answer my question . phyllis : what does adam have to do with my being the head of hotel security ? abby : the mere fact that you are even friends with that guy . he tried to kill my father , and he got away with it . and now he is out there somewhere , i 'm sure , plotting ways to come at me and my family . meanwhile , you 're living in his penthouse , and you are enjoying the hell out of all of the chaos this has created . well , let me tell you something -- i am not gon na stand by and let you two screw me over . phyllis : if i wanted to screw you over , it definitely would n't be by making a few bucks out of our hotel - security upgrades . you 'd never see it coming . abby : i 'll take that as a threat . phyllis : you take it however you want . abby : i 'm warning you , phyllis . do not underestimate me . phyllis : wow ! abby , i really wish that you were enough of a challenge to justify this conversation we 're having .

devon : it 's not , actually , because i own the company . so , after i tell her about this discussion , i 'm pretty sure she 's gon na agree with my decision . theo : oh , i - i get it . you want to give mariah a chance to do this on her own . sink or swim . you know , it 'll give me more time to focus on my work with lp . devon : okay . you 're not getting it , theo . um ... you -- you have an interesting skill set . you have some good experience , and you have a fair amount of talent . and i really thought i was making a good decision when i brought you in to supervise ana . but it turns out i was wrong , because your ego and your ambition have become serious liabilities . theo : okay , if -- if i could just -- devon : no . theo -- theo . you no longer work for lp , either . okay ?

[ chuckles ] theo : another one of my secrets . lola : you have so many secrets , theo . how do you keep them all straight ? theo : not easy being me . no , i spend so much of my time building my brand , maintaining a certain image , you know , i rarely ever just hang out like this . laugh . i had in my head a whole idea of who you were . lola : the total buzzkill . the enemy of the fun . theo : oh , i can admit when i 'm wrong . but now i know a secret of yours , too . i 've glimpsed your little evil streak . lola : [ clicks tongue ] hardly evil . theo : oh , pranking me ? that was definitely `` shunder - frooda . `` lola : uh ... theo : schaden - fort - knee ? schutti - frutti ? schanden - sprieken - zie [ speaking gibberish ] lola : please stop . you 're killing me . theo : man , i wish i met you before kyle did . uh ... all i meant was -- lola : i know what you meant . theo : we were having a nice conversation . lola : you were working me , theo . theo : no . [ stammers ] lola : i told you that i would help you with kyle when the moment was right , but you just seem to push things a little too far . theo : it 's not easy being as perfect as you are . look -- lola , please , do n't go . i 'm sorry , okay ? [ grunts ] [ sighs ] summer : and then abby was all , `` who cares if we lied ? get over it . `` i ju -- i can not with her . like , my feelings do n't matter just because grandpa 's alive now ? kyle : mm . back to business as usual . summer : ugh . kyle : literally . summer : why ? what does that mean ? what do n't i know ? kyle : mm ... guess you 'll hear about it all over the news soon enough . c.e.o . position at newman . victoria 's out . victor 's back in . summer : already ? wow . that 's a -- pfft . that 's a shock . kyle : know how she found out ? summer : huh ? kyle : from a reporter wanting a comment . summer : [ scoffs ] wow . that 's , um ... that 's pretty cold . kyle : [ sighs ] even for victor . summer : i 'm not happy with victoria right now , but i still would never wish that on her . kyle : then , to make matters worse , billy immediately tried to hire her away from newman . summer : what ? kyle : he obviously wants them to run jabot together . summer : okay , well , he ca n't do that . jack just put you and billy in charge . kyle : mm - hmm . and he left it up to us to decide about victoria . summer : wait . what happened ? kyle : mm . she told billy she was n't ready to make a decision about her future . but he thinks i 'm a neophyte next to her . he 'd love to give her my job and have me twiddle my thumbs somewhere . summer : well , he ca n't do that . jack will not let him just push you out like that . kyle : if billy goes behind my back , who knows what could happen ? he was acting all snide and superior . he even called me `` kid . `` summer : oh , my god . i hate when people do that . it is so obnoxious . kyle : if victoria leaves newman , i do n't know what that means . for you or me . summer : you have to talk to your dad . you have to remind him all that you 've done for the company . kyle , you 've worked your booty off . and you 've put it on display to even sell suntan lotion . kyle : [ chuckles softly ] worked pretty well , too . summer : it was a memorable booty , i will say . you know this company . victoria does not . you are ready for this , kyle . kyle : billy messed up royally when he was in charge . he 's shown unbelievably bad judgment . summer : [ sighs ] kyle : and still , i can tell my dad thinks he 's the better executive , which pisses me off . [ scoffs ] summer : when is jack going to realize that you are just as capable as billy , but without all the issues ? kyle : who knows ? maybe he never will . summer : it 's kind of like me feeling like an outsider . you know , will my family ever trust me ? kyle : you deserve better , summer . summer : you 're right . so do you . devon : i was just trying to let you know what you 've gotten yourself into , that 's all . amanda : that 's not why you shared with me how wonderful your wife was . why everyone loved her so much . you told me that touching story so that i would let my guard down , admit who knows what , and give you some kind of ammunition . devon : oh , okay . so , ammunition . well , you know , you have no actual legal documents , and you 've never even seen your client , so you have nothing . literally nothing at all . and i 'm just trying to find out what you 're really after . amanda : you want to hold onto that money that badly ? enough to use your dead wife 's memory ? devon : i 'm a reasonable man . but i do have limits . phyllis : that 's great . all right . thank you very much . amanda : i 'm sorry . you know , about earlier . sorry i could n't be more helpful . phyllis : oh , that 's okay . you do n't know me . i figured it was worth a shot . amanda : and , um , thank you for not going on about my resemblance to hilary like everyone else . it 's getting a little tedious . phyllis : it 's not my style . [ cellphone chimes ] i prefer to do the last thing anyone expects . theo : [ sighs ] hey . what 's going on ? abby : theo , hey . what can i do for you ? theo : have you seen summer ? she said she was meeting kyle . abby : summer left a while ago . theo : oh . um ... how 'd she seem ? abby : oh , like her usual , snarky self . gave me attitude and then walked out . theo : uh , any idea where she was -- [ cellphone rings ] abby : i 'm sorry . um ... hello ? thank you . okay , bye . nate : abby , hey . got a sec ? abby : nate , hey ! oh ! i am so glad to see you . everyone has been so hostile today . it 's nice to see a friendly face . nate : yeah , my , uh , day has been pretty troubling , as well . abby : you know , everyone keeps dumping on me because my father is alive . can you believe it ? i mean , what is wrong with people ? nate : faking a family member 's death may seem normal to the newmans , but for the rest of us -- abby : wait . `` us `` ? no , you -- you were a part of this . nate : no , i was willing to go against my ethics to save a patient 's life . that 's how it was presented to me . that 's how victor convinced me to go along with it . abby : oh , and suddenly you sound so judgmental . nate : because he never felt adam was a real threat . because it was just a game between the two of them . because i have principles . abby : oh . oh , and i do n't ? nate : [ stammers ] abby : you know what , do n't answer that . yeah , i would n't want you to compromise your principles any further . so why do n't you just leave before i drag you down even more ? nate : [ sighs ] abby : [ sighs ] theo : the stuff your boyfriend was saying -- uh , i could n't hear him , but it seemed pretty harsh . abby : unbelievable . theo : you want to talk about it ? summer : i do not care what billy says . you have nothing to be insecure about . you are super gifted , kyle . kyle : back at you . but will we ever get to dazzle the business world before we 're , like , old and decrepit ? summer : heh . who knows ? you know , i kind of hope that billy succeeds in getting victoria over to jabot . that way , when they fall flat on their smug faces , they will realize how indispensable you are . kyle : well , i could n't have done a tenth of what i have without you . summer : it 's like i keep telling you , we -- kyle : make a great team . summer : looks like you 're just gon na have to take me on your meteoric ride to the top . kyle : try and stop me . i ... better get going . lola 's gon na -- summer : yep . thank you for this . kyle : you , too . billy : i 'm sorry to put you on the spot with jack . victoria : you 're forgiven . billy : it 's just , i know what a huge asset you would be for us at jabot . and you 'd have your freedom . nobody holding you back . and , if you have n't figured it out yet , i would really love to work with you again . victoria : i know . billy : but i have the feeling you do n't feel the same way . victoria : i want to be completely honest with you . billy : mm - hmm . victoria : and with myself . when i had to hear from someone else about dad taking his job back because he did n't come to me first , it -- it threw me . billy : i could tell . victoria : it just brought up all of this old stuff about dad not valuing me as much as my brothers , and not respecting my accomplishments . billy : mm - hmm . victoria : you make working at jabot sound very attractive . like a dream situation . billy : it would be . victoria : [ sighs ] but i have to -- i have to say , i love your enthusiasm , but i just ca n't get caught up in it . billy : not in the right head space to make a life - altering decision . victoria : you were listening . that 's awesome . billy : i 'll put the lid on the pitches . for now . victoria : i 'd appreciate it . billy : and i will be here for you , supporting you , loving you , whatever decision you make . victoria : thank you . kyle : hey , babe . lola : perfect timing . kyle : mm . lola : i 'm about to wrap up . how was your day ? kyle : eh , we 'll talk . but i need to do this first . whatever happens with the job or anything else , i can handle it . as long as i have this . theo : why do n't we grab a drink ? you can take a little break . i 'm happy to just listen to you vent . abby : honestly , theo , you 're the last person i would want to do that with . nate : they teach you that at yale , too ? amanda : excuse me ? nate : digging into the opposition . making it personal . amanda : for the record , devon approached me . he made it personal . one of the first things that you learn as a lawyer -- it 's not a popularity contest . it 's a job . just like your job is to heal people . except i guess in your case , `` first , do no harm `` turned into `` lie to the public and throw your reputation out the window . `` i 'm sorry . did i just draw my own conclusion and then attack you based on those conclusions ? oh . phyllis : deal me in .Summarize.[/INST]billy wants victoria to leave newman enterprises and come work at jabot . this leads to a disagreement with kyle because billy thinks that he is running the company by himself and he is treating kyle like a kid instead of his co- workers ceo . victoria tells billy she is n't ready to make such a big decision about her future yet she needs some time to think about things . kyle and summer talk and bond because they are both tired of everyone treating them like they are children and not valuing the work they do . devon fires theo because he tries one more time to say that he should be in charge of power communications instead of mariah . theo tries to use his charm one more time to get her to speak to kyle about mending their friendship but she gets upset with him because she knows he is working an angle . devon talks to amanda sinclair again but she accuses him of telling her stories about hilary to get her to let her guard down so he can get information from her . phyllis finds adam in vegas and sits down at his poker game to play poker with him .</s> | 18,258 |
marlena : sami 's resting , finally . brady : good . [ sighs ] marlena , i got ta be honest with you . it 's strange mourning for someone that you did n't really like . that 's putting it mildly . marlena : she loved him . brady : she did . and that 's what it 's about . her loss and the kids . kate : [ exhales ] oh , my god . seriously ? brady : hi , kate . um , i 'm -- i 'm gon na -- i 'm gon na go , unless you need me for anything . marlena : no , the -- the kids are having naps , and i think we 're just fine . thank you , brady . brady : okay . will i see you at the hospital later ? marlena : you -- well , i thought i would , uh , explain to john what happened , if that 's all right with you . brady : probably be best coming from you , anyway . good to see you , kate . kate : yes , you too . marlena : cook brought in some food . would you like something ? kate : what i would like -- actually , what i need to do is meet with sami , as soon as possible . brady : what are you doing here ? jordan : rafe . hey . rafe : hey . jordan : i heard what happened . do you have any leads on who killed chad 's brother ? miguel : mr. weston , thank god ! what are we gon na do ? clyde : well , the first thing you 're gon na do , son , is calm down . all right ? now i told you never to call me . miguel : mr. weston , i had to . i know this town , this family . stefano dimera 's gon na have men looking everywhere for who killed his son . what are we gon na do if he finds out it was us ? nicole : what 's the matter with you , eric ? after what kristen did to you , and to brady , daniel would never talk to that bitch . eric : except he has . on the sly , have n't you , daniel ? nicole : what does that mean ? kristen almost killed you , not to mention what she did to eric and brady . oh , my god . you would n't even talk to me until ej died , and what ? daniel : okay , i know nicole . nicole : now you have no problem having private little chats with kristen ? daniel : no , no , that 's not what 's happening . eric : then what has happened ? daniel : you know what ? i do n't have to explain myself to you . kristen : you caused me so much pain when you would n't help me when i came back . that 's nothing compared to the pain i 'm feeling now . i miss you , eej . i love you . now and forever . my little bro . but you ... [ sniffs ] more than anybody would understand what i have to do now . [ exhales ] i 've got ta keep moving forward . and grab every little bit of happiness that we can . marlena : look , sami has finally gotten to sleep . kate : well , then you need to wake her up , because this is important . marlena : no , what 's important is she 's lost her husband . and she 's had to explain to her children they will never see him again . kate : i get that , i get that . i know that ej was murdered , i know that she 's in a terrible place , and that 's why i left the house early this morning so she would have time with her family . marlena : well , i 'm sorry it 's taken more than a couple of hours to do that . her children are distraught . kate : marlena , what sami has so royally screwed up , i ca n't fix . she 's the only one who can do it . and if she does n't do it , ej might not be the only parent that her kids lose . rafe : well , jordan , the investigation 's ongoing , so ... i ca n't really talk about it . jordan : well , it said on the news that ej was shot in the woods , east of salem park . rafe : right . jordan : well , i - i know the dimeras ' reputation , so ... i mean , if someone 's willing to murder ej , does that mean maybe they 'll go after other members of his family ? rafe : oh , you 're worried about chad . chad : [ laughing ] come here . [ grunts ] that 's my boy . theo : do n't go too , uncle chad . you ca n't die , too , okay ? like uncle ej ? brady : why are you here ? were you looking for me ? theresa : no -- no , um , i - i just came to offer my condolences . see how my cousin sami was doing . brady : oh . she 's , um , asleep now , but she was up all night . theresa : oh , um , well , i should just -- i could -- i should just come back another time . brady : okay , i 'll see you . theresa : brady , um ... do you think maybe we could go somewhere and talk ? somewhere private ? it 's -- it 's really important . nicole : what could you and kristen possibly have to talk about ? kristen : well , it 's no great mystery . daniel and i have come to an understanding . nicole : [ laughs ] jordan : i am not just talking about chad . what about sami or ej 's children ? rafe : right . well , so far we do n't have anything to suggest that it was a hit or anything planned . just , uh , a mugging gone bad . jordan : mm . have you talked to sami ? rafe : a little , yeah . well , she was the one who found ej . she had him in her arms , and , uh , by then , he was already ... jordan : oh , my god . rafe : yeah , yeah . jordan : oh , well , at least you were there for her . rafe : yeah , for all the good it did . [ phone ringing ] jordan : oh , uh ... i 'm sorry , i got ta go . rafe : no -- no -- no , it 's okay . take care . chad : theo , it 's okay . all right ? i 'm not going anywhere . theo : my mom is with ej now , up in heaven . dad said . abe : lexie 's not alone now . chad : and that 's good . hey , look at what ej gave me to give to you . theo : [ gasps ] glider ! uncle ej gave me one . broke it , i broke it . this is so cool ! chad : [ laughs ] it is . he wanted you to have this new one . it 's plastic , so it wo n't break so easily . hey , you want to try it out ? theo : yeah ! chad : yeah ? okay . abe : [ laughs ] yeah , go ahead . hey -- hey , stay where i can see you though , buddy , and do n't get it hung up in those trees . you bought it . chad : i knew he liked the one ej gave him . i thought he should have something to remember him by . abe : well , thank you . how you doing ? chad : hanging in there . hey listen ... my father wanted me to ask if a reward would help catch who killed my brother . maybe 50,000 or 100,000 ? clyde : hear me on this . we did n't kill ej dimera . you did . miguel : but , when he punched you , i thought that -- clyde : well , that 's just the thing . you did n't think . did you ever hear me ask you to kill anyone ? miguel : no , sir . clyde : well , then . come on now . do n't go all lily - livered on me . things 'll work out . miguel : you do n't understand . stefano 's gon na send -- clyde : hey , i 'll take care of stefano , okay ? but i need you to do something for me . one simple thing . miguel : yes , sir . clyde : i need you to hide out for a while . miguel : [ laughs ] there 's nowhere to hide when stefano -- clyde : hey , do n't worry . where i 'm gon na put you , nobody 'll ever find you . kristen : because of what happened to john , and the fact that my father and i were able to help , i 've come to know daniel a lot better . nicole : oh , kidnapping did n't do the trick , huh ? kristen : well , i always knew he was a skilled surgeon , but i was n't aware of what a brilliant healer you are . who knows , maybe if you 'd been with ej after he was mugged , things would be different . daniel : look , i wish i could 've helped . eric : my condolences . nicole : yep , sorry about ej . kristen : thank you . i know that he was special to you , was n't he ? nicole : he was . kristen : well , at least i heard that , uh , sami was with him , you know , when he died . and they were able to exchange a few words . nothing meant more to my brother than your sister 's love . and their children , of course . i think it 's very sad that it takes a tragedy like this to make you realize something you should have known a long time ago ... like this man 's skill and knowledge . and honestly , without it , john would probably still be languishing in a coma right now . john : damn . even with all this physical therapy , i 'm not gon na be out of here for days . kristen : you know what theresa did to you . i know you do . but still , you 're willing to let her get away with practically killing you , because you think that 's gon na keep brady away from me . john : kristen always was good at reading people . that 's why i need somebody on the outside . well , i know things are still up in the air between us , but i need someone i can trust ... someone who can help me eliminate kristen ... then theresa . marlena : what kind of a statement is that ? kate : it 's a statement of fact . stefano is nothing if not vindictive . sami has certain areas of the company that are just under her control . and they are about to disappear into a black hole if she does n't do something . marlena : well , but that 's business . kate , if you can handle it , then you fix it . but she ca n't deal with this right now . kate : we can think about it as a distraction for her . it will take her mind off ej , off all of this misery , marlena . marlena : she is exhausted . kate : you do n't understand the implications of what could happen if she does n't -- marlena : stay away from my daughter ! hershey 's spreads . kate : okay . fine . but incidentally , i 'd move that urn before one of those kids knocks it over and spills ej all over the carpet . marlena : the children are napping . and , kate ... when sami wakes up , i 'd like it if you were n't here . i mean , could -- could you just get a room at the salem inn for tonight ? kate : no . i 'm coming back here to sleep in my own bed in the master suite , as usual . marlena : [ scoffs ] [ exhales ] abe : you know , we 're on this case full - time , chad . before stefano does anything about a reward , let me run it past the d.a . chad : what 's the problem ? abe : well , it 's no problem , necessarily . it 's just that sometimes a big reward can make a ... circus out of a case . chad : all right , well , i get it . abe : you know , chad , uh ... if i 'm out of line , here , just say so . and i know that you and ej have been at odds lately , so i hope that 's not making you feel guilty . i mean , sometimes people will -- chad : i 'm fine . really . kristen : i 'll admit that i was a little surprised when daniel and i became close , because of the whole sit -- daniel : we 're not close . kristen : oh , we 're a little close . because of the john situation . but you know what ? i have learned something from my brother 's passing . you just have to seize the moment . you have to grab any happiness that you can , right ? nicole : what the hell is it with you , kristen ? kristen : oh , my god . do you know what i just realized ? every single one of us standing here did whatever we had to do to save john . all of us . we did it . we saved john . oh , well , except for you , nicole . i 'm sure you were praying , though . you know what ? now that i think of it , you do n't really have to stay here if you do n't want to . i mean , you 're not really a part of the discussion , so -- nicole : okay , you know what ? that 's it . you 're gon na get what 's coming to you . daniel : okay , all right -- nicole : it might as well be right here , right now . daniel : okay , let 's go . let 's go talk outside . nicole : i am so sick of listening to you , i 've had it ! daniel : let 's go -- privately ! nicole : you 'd better be gone , kristen , when i come back . 'cause i am coming back for you . daniel : shh , come on . nicole : ugh . get off me . kristen : wow . i 'm kinda glad that we have this moment alone , you know ? nicole : look at that bitch , chatting it up with eric like nothing ever happened . he knows what she did . how could he let her anywhere near him ? kristen : it 's a very delicate situation . i 'm sure you can understand . i 'm not welcome in my father 's mansion , but i have so much sympathy for sami . would you please tell her how sorry i am ? eric : yes . kristen : it 's kinda weird , is n't it ? i mean , you and i having this quiet little talk ? eric : very . kristen : because of you -- and your generosity -- i was able to make sure that john got those drugs , you know ? eric : it was blackmail , kristen . kristen : look , i -- i understand that there 's tension here , but something good came from it , right , eric ? something good came from it . we brought john back . eric : true . kristen : right , thank you . i guess what i 'm asking you ... can you find it in your heart , maybe , to -- can we please just try to leave our problems in the past ? brady : i do n't think i was ever here sober . theresa : oh , sorry . um , i just thought we should go somewhere private , you know ? brady : no -- no -- no -- no , do n't be sorry . you said it was important , so ... theresa : yeah . brady , i thought about calling you like 100 times after your dad woke up and said that i was right , that you were n't to blame . brady : but you did n't . theresa : no . brady : why ? theresa : i thought you were gon na call me . i mean , why have n't you ? why are you still shutting me out ? abe : whoa , whoa , whoa , whoa , whoa , whoa . i need you to understand , mrs. laramie is gon na pick you up after your session , okay ? theo : okay , mrs. laramie . got it . abe : okay . theo : jordan ! see ? glider ! jordan : oh , wow ! that 's very cool , theo . theo : yeah , uncle chad gave me -- gave it to me . jordan : oh , awesome . theo : yeah , got ta go now ! jordan : okay , bye ! abe : [ laughs ] jordan : so , you saw chad . abe : yeah , in the park . jordan : how 's he doing ? abe : well it 's tough on him . i mean , he and ej had been quarreling lately . i did n't realize you knew him . jordan : well , actually , i just met him a little while ago . we 've sort of become friendly . abe : well , he could use a friend . definitely . chad : hey , you . kate : hey . chad : so have you been back to the house ? kate : yes ... marlena practically threw me out . chad : why ? were you hassling sami ? kate : i wish . she has screwed up -- forget it . chad : forget what ? kate : well , you know , i -- it 's nothing . i just really hate admitting when i 've done something wrong and someone else is right . and obviously it was not the right time to be hassling sami . not now . chad : so marlena was right ? [ laughs ] john : i know , i 'm not supposed to be doing this without supervision , but what can i say ? i just want to get out of here . and that 's what i want to talk to you about . look , i 've been thinking -- what 's going on ? is something wrong with brady ? marlena : no . not brady . ej . brady : theresa , listen . please do n't take this personally , okay ? i -- you -- you -- you have been wonderful through this whole thing . theresa : mm - hmm . brady : you 've been ... kind , you 've been -- you 've been patient . but i 've had a lot to process . i mean , this whole thing has been crazy . and sami 's going through hell right now , and i -- theresa : no , you 've been pulling away for a long time , brady . and i just -- i need to know ... do you believe what your father said ? brady : it does -- it does n't matter . what i bel -- theresa : well , i was n't protecting you , then . and i 'm not protecting you now , and neither is your dad . brady : why is this so important to you ? theresa : because -- because i just wanted to know if we 're ever going to be close again . i mean , even if it 's just as friends , because i need that , brady . i need to know if you still believe in me . kristen : i know we 're never gon na be friends . eric : no , we wo n't . kristen : but you know all that hatred you have towards me ? and all of the regrets that i have ? i mean , it just kinda eats a person up inside , do n't you think ? eric : you 're right . i 'm still carrying a lot of hatred . and maybe someday i -- maybe someday i can , but i 'm not there yet . i 'm definitely not there yet . maybe someday i can ... go back to what i 've been taught , and what i believe ... and finally let it all go . kristen : wo n't that just be the best day ? eric : kristen , it 's a goal . it 's more for me , not for you . kristen : i understand . i get it . i really do get it , eric . nicole : bitch . that woman 's going down . daniel : nicole , wait -- oh , my god . nicole -- nicole : what the hell are you two thinking ? kristen : nicole , my brother just died . can we please put off whatever it is that 's bothering you ' til another time ? i 'm feeling so lost right now . nicole : ahem . yeah , okay , fine , mm - hmm . kristen : thank you . nicole : mm - hmm . kristen : daniel , could i talk with you privately ? it 's really important . daniel : yeah , fine . let 's , uh , let 's do this now . kristen : okay . excuse me . eric : would you just look at that ? she snaps her fingers and he -- what 's going on between those two ? nicole : no clue , and i really do n't care anymore . what i care i care about is , what 's going on between you and kristen ? chad : um , did you see any of the kids ... when you were there ? kate : no . no , but apparently ej has been cremated . his urn was sitting in the middle of the living room like some macabre sculpture piece . chad : [ laughs ] kate : you know , i -- i ca n't imagine that sami did n't have better -- well , though , not sami , sami would n't have better taste -- that someone did n't have better taste . anyway , i have a meeting to get to . see you later . chad : take care . kate : yeah . chad : we 'll talk later . abe : hey , rafe . rafe : hey . abe : i went over ej 's phone records . the last call he got was from a disposable phone . rafe : uh - huh . abe : ca n't trace it . rafe : yeah , right , well , typical dimera . abe : so what 's up on your end ? rafe : well , i 'm beginning to doubt that this was a mugging . what 's ej doing in the park at night ? or the woods ? abe : well , it was nice weather . maybe he felt like taking a walk . if it was business , he would have had a bodyguard . rafe : right , a walk . anyway , i am checking ej 's payroll , but i 'm telling you , there 's more to this . jeremiah : hey . clyde : how 'd it go ? jeremiah : like leading a hog to mud . the cops 'll definitely find what they 're looking for . clyde : good . that , uh , miguel fella ... he 's , uh , turned out to be a real problem . jeremiah : he 's running scared ? clyde : yeah . if , uh , stefano dimera 's boys get a hold of him , he 'll crack like an egg . chad : [ sniffs ] [ scoffs ] you son of a bitch . eric : nicole , would you just relax ? look , kristen was just talking about herself , as usual , and then she was upset because of ej 's death . nicole : well , yeah . eric : listen , i know you must be grieving , too . nicole : [ exhales ] ej and i had started getting along , you know ? but it was n't all flowers and sunshine . eric : it 's understood . nicole : how about you ? you must have mixed feelings . ej absolutely knew what kristen did . he knew all along . eric : of course . nicole : well ? you would n't do anything , you would n't stick it to him , because of sami . eric : actually , ej and i talked a few days before his death . nicole : [ exhales ] eric : some things were clear . others maybe not . nicole : what are you saying ? oh , my god . you forgave ej ? daniel : and what -- what is all this garbage about us being close ? kristen : it 's not garbage . we 're practically partners . daniel : what -- are you out of your mind ? kristen : [ exhales ] it 's such a shame . you 're brilliant -- some of the time . the rest of the time , you 're just incredibly tedious . daniel : okay , i 'm done . i am done . you say what you have to say and then you leave , l -- kristen : okay . look , john ... we know that john was smashed over the head with a poker by theresa , correct ? daniel : correct . kristen : okay , and he lied about it , and said that brady was acting in self- defense . daniel : okay , we can only suspect so much . kristen : no , we do n't suspect it . i confronted it , i laid it all out there . daniel : yeah , he did n't come forward , did he ? obviously . kristen : [ sighs ] he knows what really happened , and so do we . but he 's incredibly stupid . he hates me so much , he thinks that lying is gon na protect brady . daniel : mm , he might not be too far off . kristen : do n't be stupid like he is , please . theresa 's the only threat . she 's the only threat , and you know it . she 's the only threat . daniel : look , if john does n't openly say that , specifically -- kristen : you know what ? i have a solution . daniel : okay . kristen : are you interested ? daniel : [ exhales ] all right , come on , bring it . kristen : you 're his best friend . if you told him the truth , he would listen to you . so if you care about brady , then you 'll do it . if you do n't , and theresa ruins his life -- which she will -- it will be on you . brady : you want to know what i 'm feeling ? i 'll tell you ... what i 'm feeling . you and john could both be protecting me . because you both care about me for very different reasons . that 's how i feel . theresa : what -- so , we 're both lying so you wo n't feel guilty ? [ laughs ] that is so out there , brady . i mean , john and i do both care about you . and that 's why we 're telling you the truth . and ... it is really important to me that you know that . brady : why ? theresa : because , the most important thing is , brady ... deep down , you need to know that -- that you did n't do anything wrong , and i 'm not lying to protect you now , and i was n't lying then . i - i mean , look , i do know why you think i 'm probably lying , because you think that i -- i want something , and ... [ exhales ] and i do . brady : well , then let 's hear it . theresa : i just -- i -- i want us to start over . chad : it 's dusty in there . oh , right , you -- you are the dust . [ chuckles ] what ? oh , you thought i came here to show respect . [ chuckles ] no , see , you were a rotten brother . everything was always about you . and even when you did something good , you -- you -- you would work it so you would be the star at the top of the tree . well guess what ? there are people dancing in the streets right now because you 're dead , because -- because you did n't care who you hurt or who you stole from or who you betrayed or who you manipulated . [ panting ] [ sniffs ] yeah . it was n't supposed to end like this . marlena : sami just loved him . she 's devastated . i know how it feels to lose the man you love and think you 'll be alone with nothing but regrets the rest of your life . [ exhales ] sorry , uh , it 's been a very emotional day . um , you -- you wanted to , uh , talk about something ? john : [ sighs ] it can wait . eric : i want you to know that forgiving ej was not easy . but if i could n't somehow find a way to do that -- for sami 's sake , but mainly for my own -- i might not ever get my life back . nicole : fine . okay , sami is your sister . and ej is dead . but kristen ? seriously ? the way her hands were all over you ? eric : okay -- nicole : frankly , it looked like you were about to do a lot more than forgive . eric : nicole , you know that 's not true . nicole : how could you even talk to her ? eric : because she was -- listen , i do n't even trust kristen . it 's the same way it was with ej , but i have to try to find a way to get beyond that . i have to try to do this for me . nicole : wow . eric : and let 's not forget that kristen is responsible for bringing john back . what i did for my mother is something that i had to do . nicole : i do n't freaking believe this . eric : and now my job , from now on , is to take care of myself . nicole : i do not believe this ! ej knew kristen drugged you , and you forgave him . kristen raped you ... and you are working on forgiving her . but the one person -- the only person who loved you , you ca n't forgive ? you ca n't forgive me ? kristen : what kind of a man are you , hmm ? i mean , deep down , where it counts , what kind of a man are you ? do you only deal with facts ? or sometimes do you deal with feelings ? you know , i think that you are a very caring man . that you would go to great lengths to help someone that you love . daniel : you are just pulling out all the stops , are n't you ? hmm ? oh , yeah , that 's right . you are . but guess what ? i still wo n't help you . 'cause i 've been watching you , kristen , for a long time . and you are good . you are so smart , so savvy . you could manipulate a stone . now if you get the chance , you 'll turn brady around and get him right back where you want him . kristen : you know , this is not about me . why ca n't you get that through your head ? this is not about me . daniel : oh , no -- no . it 's about brady , sure it is . it 's so old that it creaks . yeah . you ... you need to know something . that maybe you can get brady to care , and do whatever you want . hell , he was so in love with you , he was totally blind . but see , look . that does n't work with me . no . because i see just fine . kristen : okay , then . i guess you 're gon na let theresa ruin your best friend 's life , huh ? it 's really too bad . you 're gon na regret it . you really will . daniel : yeah ? kristen : and so will brady . brady : theresa , look -- theresa : no , i -- i 'm not -- i 'm not saying that we should get married , again , or anything , um ... it 's just ... look -- look , when kristen threatened me , i - i was scared to death , and it made me realize , though , how much you mean to me . how much i really care about you . look , and i know that you thought that , for me , it was probably about the really great sex and the wild times and the booze and the drugs , but ... it was n't . it was about you . you really helped me , brady . you 've helped make my life better , and ... i do n't know , now i just -- i want to help you . and -- and maybe i already have . maybe me telling everyone that you did n't do anything wrong helped , but ... i just know that all the bad times , they 're ... in the past . so , i thought maybe we could ... sort of , start over . brady : i - i got ta -- i should go . theresa : no -- for what ? to see who , kristen ? brady : no . no , nobody , all right ? no one . theresa : do you really have to go ? abe : so you 're not buying that this was some druggie who did n't know what he was doing . rafe : well , does a druggie make sure that there are no footprints , no dna anywhere ? hmm ? [ phone ringing ] rafe : detective hernandez . secure the scene , get forensics on it . okay . well , we just got a break . clyde : listen , i told miguel he 's gon na take a little trip down to see poplar bluff . jeremiah : then that boy 's gon na get to see some sweet country . clyde : yeah . jeremiah : now where you want me to hide him down there ? clyde : you remember where your granddaddy grew soybeans , just off 62 ? jeremiah : uh - huh . clyde : well , that 's real good soil . why do n't you hide him there ? nice and deep . chad : you were n't supposed to die . [ sniffs ] we were supposed to work things out . [ crying ] eric : that 's right . i do n't forgive you . nicole : why ? why ? you can forgive kristen and ej and stefano , but not me ? why ? eric : because , nicole , you 're different . nicole : why , because i loved you ? eric : because what you did makes it unforgivable . you were my friend . you were my love . you were the one person that i trusted more than anyone , and you betrayed me . nicole : no . eric : yes , i hate you . but i hate myself for not being able to try and at least forgive you . it 's something that will never happen . nicole : [ crying ] kristen : to hell with you , daniel . i do n't need you . one of these bitches is gon na help me . are n't you , girls ? whether you know it or not , whether you like it or not , i am gon na break theresa donovan . and i 'm gon na watch her fall . just like that . okay , then . you 're obviously gon na let theresa ruin your best friend 's life . it 's too bad . you 're gon na regret it . and so will brady .

[ sniffs ] more than anybody would understand what i have to do now . [ exhales ] i 've got ta keep moving forward . and grab every little bit of happiness that we can . marlena : look , sami has finally gotten to sleep . kate : well , then you need to wake her up , because this is important . marlena : no , what 's important is she 's lost her husband . and she 's had to explain to her children they will never see him again . kate : i get that , i get that . i know that ej was murdered , i know that she 's in a terrible place , and that 's why i left the house early this morning so she would have time with her family . marlena : well , i 'm sorry it 's taken more than a couple of hours to do that . her children are distraught . kate : marlena , what sami has so royally screwed up , i ca n't fix . she 's the only one who can do it . and if she does n't do it , ej might not be the only parent that her kids lose . rafe : well , jordan , the investigation 's ongoing , so ... i ca n't really talk about it . jordan : well , it said on the news that ej was shot in the woods , east of salem park . rafe : right . jordan : well , i - i know the dimeras ' reputation , so ... i mean , if someone 's willing to murder ej , does that mean maybe they 'll go after other members of his family ? rafe : oh , you 're worried about chad . chad : [ laughing ] come here . [ grunts ] that 's my boy . theo : do n't go too , uncle chad . you ca n't die , too , okay ? like uncle ej ? brady : why are you here ? were you looking for me ? theresa : no -- no , um , i - i just came to offer my condolences . see how my cousin sami was doing . brady : oh . she 's , um , asleep now , but she was up all night . theresa : oh , um , well , i should just -- i could -- i should just come back another time . brady : okay , i 'll see you . theresa : brady , um ... do you think maybe we could go somewhere and talk ? somewhere private ? it 's -- it 's really important . nicole : what could you and kristen possibly have to talk about ? kristen : well , it 's no great mystery . daniel and i have come to an understanding . nicole : [ laughs ] jordan : i am not just talking about chad . what about sami or ej 's children ? rafe : right . well , so far we do n't have anything to suggest that it was a hit or anything planned . just , uh , a mugging gone bad . jordan : mm . have you talked to sami ? rafe : a little , yeah . well , she was the one who found ej . she had him in her arms , and , uh , by then , he was already ... jordan : oh , my god . rafe : yeah , yeah . jordan : oh , well , at least you were there for her . rafe : yeah , for all the good it did .

theo : yeah ! chad : yeah ? okay . abe : [ laughs ] yeah , go ahead . hey -- hey , stay where i can see you though , buddy , and do n't get it hung up in those trees . you bought it . chad : i knew he liked the one ej gave him . i thought he should have something to remember him by . abe : well , thank you . how you doing ? chad : hanging in there . hey listen ... my father wanted me to ask if a reward would help catch who killed my brother . maybe 50,000 or 100,000 ? clyde : hear me on this . we did n't kill ej dimera . you did . miguel : but , when he punched you , i thought that -- clyde : well , that 's just the thing . you did n't think . did you ever hear me ask you to kill anyone ? miguel : no , sir . clyde : well , then . come on now . do n't go all lily - livered on me . things 'll work out . miguel : you do n't understand . stefano 's gon na send -- clyde : hey , i 'll take care of stefano , okay ? but i need you to do something for me . one simple thing . miguel : yes , sir . clyde : i need you to hide out for a while . miguel : [ laughs ] there 's nowhere to hide when stefano -- clyde : hey , do n't worry . where i 'm gon na put you , nobody 'll ever find you . kristen : because of what happened to john , and the fact that my father and i were able to help , i 've come to know daniel a lot better . nicole : oh , kidnapping did n't do the trick , huh ? kristen : well , i always knew he was a skilled surgeon , but i was n't aware of what a brilliant healer you are . who knows , maybe if you 'd been with ej after he was mugged , things would be different . daniel : look , i wish i could 've helped . eric : my condolences . nicole : yep , sorry about ej . kristen : thank you . i know that he was special to you , was n't he ? nicole : he was . kristen : well , at least i heard that , uh , sami was with him , you know , when he died . and they were able to exchange a few words . nothing meant more to my brother than your sister 's love . and their children , of course . i think it 's very sad that it takes a tragedy like this to make you realize something you should have known a long time ago ... like this man 's skill and knowledge . and honestly , without it , john would probably still be languishing in a coma right now . john : damn . even with all this physical therapy , i 'm not gon na be out of here for days . kristen : you know what theresa did to you . i know you do . but still , you 're willing to let her get away with practically killing you , because you think that 's gon na keep brady away from me . john : kristen always was good at reading people . that 's why i need somebody on the outside . well , i know things are still up in the air between us , but i need someone i can trust ... someone who can help me eliminate kristen ... then theresa . marlena : what kind of a statement is that ? kate : it 's a statement of fact . stefano is nothing if not vindictive . sami has certain areas of the company that are just under her control . and they are about to disappear into a black hole if she does n't do something . marlena : well , but that 's business . kate , if you can handle it , then you fix it . but she ca n't deal with this right now . kate : we can think about it as a distraction for her . it will take her mind off ej , off all of this misery , marlena . marlena : she is exhausted . kate : you do n't understand the implications of what could happen if she does n't -- marlena : stay away from my daughter ! hershey 's spreads . kate : okay . fine . but incidentally , i 'd move that urn before one of those kids knocks it over and spills ej all over the carpet . marlena : the children are napping . and , kate ... when sami wakes up , i 'd like it if you were n't here . i mean , could -- could you just get a room at the salem inn for tonight ? kate : no . i 'm coming back here to sleep in my own bed in the master suite , as usual . marlena : [ scoffs ] [ exhales ] abe : you know , we 're on this case full - time , chad . before stefano does anything about a reward , let me run it past the d.a . chad : what 's the problem ? abe : well , it 's no problem , necessarily . it 's just that sometimes a big reward can make a ... circus out of a case . chad : all right , well , i get it . abe : you know , chad , uh ... if i 'm out of line , here , just say so . and i know that you and ej have been at odds lately , so i hope that 's not making you feel guilty . i mean , sometimes people will -- chad : i 'm fine . really . kristen : i 'll admit that i was a little surprised when daniel and i became close , because of the whole sit -- daniel : we 're not close . kristen : oh , we 're a little close . because of the john situation . but you know what ? i have learned something from my brother 's passing . you just have to seize the moment . you have to grab any happiness that you can , right ? nicole : what the hell is it with you , kristen ? kristen : oh , my god . do you know what i just realized ? every single one of us standing here did whatever we had to do to save john . all of us . we did it . we saved john . oh , well , except for you , nicole . i 'm sure you were praying , though . you know what ? now that i think of it , you do n't really have to stay here if you do n't want to . i mean , you 're not really a part of the discussion , so -- nicole : okay , you know what ? that 's it . you 're gon na get what 's coming to you . daniel : okay , all right -- nicole : it might as well be right here , right now . daniel : okay , let 's go . let 's go talk outside . nicole : i am so sick of listening to you , i 've had it ! daniel : let 's go -- privately ! nicole : you 'd better be gone , kristen , when i come back . 'cause i am coming back for you . daniel : shh , come on . nicole : ugh . get off me . kristen : wow . i 'm kinda glad that we have this moment alone , you know ? nicole : look at that bitch , chatting it up with eric like nothing ever happened . he knows what she did . how could he let her anywhere near him ? kristen : it 's a very delicate situation . i 'm sure you can understand . i 'm not welcome in my father 's mansion , but i have so much sympathy for sami . would you please tell her how sorry i am ? eric : yes . kristen : it 's kinda weird , is n't it ? i mean , you and i having this quiet little talk ? eric : very . kristen : because of you -- and your generosity -- i was able to make sure that john got those drugs , you know ? eric : it was blackmail , kristen . kristen : look , i -- i understand that there 's tension here , but something good came from it , right , eric ? something good came from it . we brought john back . eric : true . kristen : right , thank you . i guess what i 'm asking you ... can you find it in your heart , maybe , to -- can we please just try to leave our problems in the past ? brady : i do n't think i was ever here sober . theresa : oh , sorry . um , i just thought we should go somewhere private , you know ? brady : no -- no -- no -- no , do n't be sorry . you said it was important , so ... theresa : yeah . brady , i thought about calling you like 100 times after your dad woke up and said that i was right , that you were n't to blame . brady : but you did n't . theresa : no . brady : why ? theresa : i thought you were gon na call me . i mean , why have n't you ? why are you still shutting me out ? abe : whoa , whoa , whoa , whoa , whoa , whoa . i need you to understand , mrs. laramie is gon na pick you up after your session , okay ? theo : okay , mrs. laramie . got it . abe : okay . theo : jordan ! see ? glider ! jordan : oh , wow ! that 's very cool , theo . theo : yeah , uncle chad gave me -- gave it to me . jordan : oh , awesome . theo : yeah , got ta go now ! jordan : okay , bye ! abe : [ laughs ] jordan : so , you saw chad . abe : yeah , in the park . jordan : how 's he doing ? abe : well it 's tough on him . i mean , he and ej had been quarreling lately . i did n't realize you knew him . jordan : well , actually , i just met him a little while ago . we 've sort of become friendly . abe : well , he could use a friend . definitely . chad : hey , you . kate : hey . chad : so have you been back to the house ? kate : yes ... marlena practically threw me out . chad : why ? were you hassling sami ? kate : i wish . she has screwed up -- forget it . chad : forget what ? kate : well , you know , i -- it 's nothing . i just really hate admitting when i 've done something wrong and someone else is right . and obviously it was not the right time to be hassling sami . not now . chad : so marlena was right ? [ laughs ] john : i know , i 'm not supposed to be doing this without supervision , but what can i say ? i just want to get out of here . and that 's what i want to talk to you about . look , i 've been thinking -- what 's going on ? is something wrong with brady ? marlena : no . not brady . ej . brady : theresa , listen . please do n't take this personally , okay ? i -- you -- you -- you have been wonderful through this whole thing . theresa : mm - hmm . brady : you 've been ... kind , you 've been -- you 've been patient . but i 've had a lot to process . i mean , this whole thing has been crazy . and sami 's going through hell right now , and i -- theresa : no , you 've been pulling away for a long time , brady . and i just -- i need to know ... do you believe what your father said ? brady : it does -- it does n't matter . what i bel -- theresa : well , i was n't protecting you , then . and i 'm not protecting you now , and neither is your dad . brady : why is this so important to you ? theresa : because -- because i just wanted to know if we 're ever going to be close again . i mean , even if it 's just as friends , because i need that , brady . i need to know if you still believe in me . kristen : i know we 're never gon na be friends . eric : no , we wo n't . kristen : but you know all that hatred you have towards me ? and all of the regrets that i have ? i mean , it just kinda eats a person up inside , do n't you think ? eric : you 're right . i 'm still carrying a lot of hatred . and maybe someday i -- maybe someday i can , but i 'm not there yet . i 'm definitely not there yet . maybe someday i can ... go back to what i 've been taught , and what i believe ... and finally let it all go . kristen : wo n't that just be the best day ? eric : kristen , it 's a goal . it 's more for me , not for you . kristen : i understand . i get it . i really do get it , eric . nicole : bitch . that woman 's going down . daniel : nicole , wait -- oh , my god . nicole -- nicole : what the hell are you two thinking ? kristen : nicole , my brother just died . can we please put off whatever it is that 's bothering you ' til another time ? i 'm feeling so lost right now . nicole : ahem . yeah , okay , fine , mm - hmm . kristen : thank you . nicole : mm - hmm . kristen : daniel , could i talk with you privately ? it 's really important . daniel : yeah , fine . let 's , uh , let 's do this now . kristen : okay . excuse me . eric : would you just look at that ? she snaps her fingers and he -- what 's going on between those two ? nicole : no clue , and i really do n't care anymore . what i care i care about is , what 's going on between you and kristen ? chad : um , did you see any of the kids ... when you were there ? kate : no . no , but apparently ej has been cremated . his urn was sitting in the middle of the living room like some macabre sculpture piece . chad : [ laughs ] kate : you know , i -- i ca n't imagine that sami did n't have better -- well , though , not sami , sami would n't have better taste -- that someone did n't have better taste . anyway , i have a meeting to get to . see you later . chad : take care . kate : yeah . chad : we 'll talk later . abe : hey , rafe . rafe : hey . abe : i went over ej 's phone records . the last call he got was from a disposable phone . rafe : uh - huh . abe : ca n't trace it . rafe : yeah , right , well , typical dimera . abe : so what 's up on your end ? rafe : well , i 'm beginning to doubt that this was a mugging . what 's ej doing in the park at night ? or the woods ? abe : well , it was nice weather . maybe he felt like taking a walk . if it was business , he would have had a bodyguard . rafe : right , a walk . anyway , i am checking ej 's payroll , but i 'm telling you , there 's more to this . jeremiah : hey . clyde : how 'd it go ? jeremiah : like leading a hog to mud . the cops 'll definitely find what they 're looking for . clyde : good . that , uh , miguel fella ... he 's , uh , turned out to be a real problem . jeremiah : he 's running scared ? clyde : yeah . if , uh , stefano dimera 's boys get a hold of him , he 'll crack like an egg . chad : [ sniffs ] [ scoffs ] you son of a bitch . eric : nicole , would you just relax ? look , kristen was just talking about herself , as usual , and then she was upset because of ej 's death . nicole : well , yeah . eric : listen , i know you must be grieving , too . nicole : [ exhales ] ej and i had started getting along , you know ? but it was n't all flowers and sunshine . eric : it 's understood . nicole : how about you ? you must have mixed feelings . ej absolutely knew what kristen did . he knew all along . eric : of course . nicole : well ? you would n't do anything , you would n't stick it to him , because of sami . eric : actually , ej and i talked a few days before his death . nicole : [ exhales ] eric : some things were clear . others maybe not . nicole : what are you saying ? oh , my god . you forgave ej ? daniel : and what -- what is all this garbage about us being close ? kristen : it 's not garbage . we 're practically partners . daniel : what -- are you out of your mind ? kristen : [ exhales ] it 's such a shame . you 're brilliant -- some of the time . the rest of the time , you 're just incredibly tedious . daniel : okay , i 'm done . i am done . you say what you have to say and then you leave , l -- kristen : okay . look , john ... we know that john was smashed over the head with a poker by theresa , correct ? daniel : correct . kristen : okay , and he lied about it , and said that brady was acting in self- defense . daniel : okay , we can only suspect so much . kristen : no , we do n't suspect it . i confronted it , i laid it all out there . daniel : yeah , he did n't come forward , did he ? obviously . kristen : [ sighs ] he knows what really happened , and so do we . but he 's incredibly stupid . he hates me so much , he thinks that lying is gon na protect brady . daniel : mm , he might not be too far off . kristen : do n't be stupid like he is , please . theresa 's the only threat . she 's the only threat , and you know it . she 's the only threat . daniel : look , if john does n't openly say that , specifically -- kristen : you know what ? i have a solution . daniel : okay . kristen : are you interested ? daniel : [ exhales ] all right , come on , bring it . kristen : you 're his best friend . if you told him the truth , he would listen to you . so if you care about brady , then you 'll do it . if you do n't , and theresa ruins his life -- which she will -- it will be on you . brady : you want to know what i 'm feeling ? i 'll tell you ... what i 'm feeling . you and john could both be protecting me . because you both care about me for very different reasons . that 's how i feel . theresa : what -- so , we 're both lying so you wo n't feel guilty ? [ laughs ] that is so out there , brady . i mean , john and i do both care about you . and that 's why we 're telling you the truth . and ... it is really important to me that you know that . brady : why ? theresa : because , the most important thing is , brady ... deep down , you need to know that -- that you did n't do anything wrong , and i 'm not lying to protect you now , and i was n't lying then . i - i mean , look , i do know why you think i 'm probably lying , because you think that i -- i want something , and ... [ exhales ] and i do . brady : well , then let 's hear it . theresa : i just -- i -- i want us to start over . chad : it 's dusty in there . oh , right , you -- you are the dust . [ chuckles ] what ? oh , you thought i came here to show respect . [ chuckles ] no , see , you were a rotten brother . everything was always about you . and even when you did something good , you -- you -- you would work it so you would be the star at the top of the tree . well guess what ? there are people dancing in the streets right now because you 're dead , because -- because you did n't care who you hurt or who you stole from or who you betrayed or who you manipulated . [ panting ] [ sniffs ] yeah . it was n't supposed to end like this . marlena : sami just loved him . she 's devastated . i know how it feels to lose the man you love and think you 'll be alone with nothing but regrets the rest of your life . [ exhales ] sorry , uh , it 's been a very emotional day . um , you -- you wanted to , uh , talk about something ? john : [ sighs ] it can wait . eric : i want you to know that forgiving ej was not easy . but if i could n't somehow find a way to do that -- for sami 's sake , but mainly for my own -- i might not ever get my life back . nicole : fine . okay , sami is your sister . and ej is dead . but kristen ? seriously ? the way her hands were all over you ? eric : okay -- nicole : frankly , it looked like you were about to do a lot more than forgive . eric : nicole , you know that 's not true . nicole : how could you even talk to her ? eric : because she was -- listen , i do n't even trust kristen . it 's the same way it was with ej , but i have to try to find a way to get beyond that . i have to try to do this for me . nicole : wow . eric : and let 's not forget that kristen is responsible for bringing john back . what i did for my mother is something that i had to do . nicole : i do n't freaking believe this . eric : and now my job , from now on , is to take care of myself . nicole : i do not believe this ! ej knew kristen drugged you , and you forgave him . kristen raped you ... and you are working on forgiving her . but the one person -- the only person who loved you , you ca n't forgive ? you ca n't forgive me ? kristen : what kind of a man are you , hmm ? i mean , deep down , where it counts , what kind of a man are you ? do you only deal with facts ? or sometimes do you deal with feelings ? you know , i think that you are a very caring man . that you would go to great lengths to help someone that you love . daniel : you are just pulling out all the stops , are n't you ? hmm ? oh , yeah , that 's right . you are . but guess what ? i still wo n't help you . 'cause i 've been watching you , kristen , for a long time . and you are good . you are so smart , so savvy . you could manipulate a stone . now if you get the chance , you 'll turn brady around and get him right back where you want him . kristen : you know , this is not about me . why ca n't you get that through your head ? this is not about me . daniel : oh , no -- no . it 's about brady , sure it is . it 's so old that it creaks . yeah . you ... you need to know something . that maybe you can get brady to care , and do whatever you want . hell , he was so in love with you , he was totally blind . but see , look . that does n't work with me . no . because i see just fine . kristen : okay , then . i guess you 're gon na let theresa ruin your best friend 's life , huh ? it 's really too bad . you 're gon na regret it . you really will . daniel : yeah ? kristen : and so will brady . brady : theresa , look -- theresa : no , i -- i 'm not -- i 'm not saying that we should get married , again , or anything , um ... it 's just ... look -- look , when kristen threatened me , i - i was scared to death , and it made me realize , though , how much you mean to me . how much i really care about you . look , and i know that you thought that , for me , it was probably about the really great sex and the wild times and the booze and the drugs , but ... it was n't . it was about you . you really helped me , brady . you 've helped make my life better , and ... i do n't know , now i just -- i want to help you . and -- and maybe i already have . maybe me telling everyone that you did n't do anything wrong helped , but ... i just know that all the bad times , they 're ... in the past . so , i thought maybe we could ... sort of , start over . brady : i - i got ta -- i should go . theresa : no -- for what ? to see who , kristen ? brady : no . no , nobody , all right ? no one . theresa : do you really have to go ? abe : so you 're not buying that this was some druggie who did n't know what he was doing . rafe : well , does a druggie make sure that there are no footprints , no dna anywhere ? hmm ? [ phone ringing ] rafe : detective hernandez . secure the scene , get forensics on it . okay . well , we just got a break . clyde : listen , i told miguel he 's gon na take a little trip down to see poplar bluff . jeremiah : then that boy 's gon na get to see some sweet country . clyde : yeah . jeremiah : now where you want me to hide him down there ? clyde : you remember where your granddaddy grew soybeans , just off 62 ? jeremiah : uh - huh . clyde : well , that 's real good soil . why do n't you hide him there ? nice and deep . chad : you were n't supposed to die . [ sniffs ] we were supposed to work things out . [ crying ] eric : that 's right . i do n't forgive you . nicole : why ? why ? you can forgive kristen and ej and stefano , but not me ? why ? eric : because , nicole , you 're different . nicole : why , because i loved you ? eric : because what you did makes it unforgivable . you were my friend . you were my love . you were the one person that i trusted more than anyone , and you betrayed me . nicole : no . eric : yes , i hate you . but i hate myself for not being able to try and at least forgive you . it 's something that will never happen . nicole : [ crying ] kristen : to hell with you , daniel . i do n't need you . one of these bitches is gon na help me . are n't you , girls ? whether you know it or not , whether you like it or not , i am gon na break theresa donovan . and i 'm gon na watch her fall . just like that . okay , then . you 're obviously gon na let theresa ruin your best friend 's life . it 's too bad . you 're gon na regret it . and so will brady .

[ scene_break ] morgan : your honor , a lot of mud has been slung today in this court -- most of it against my client . but nothing changes the fact that the law is on his side . todd manning is tommy mcbain 's birth father , and he has been denied access to that child through circumstances beyond his control . your honor , it is now within the power of this court to reunite him with the son he loves and wants , desperately . mr. manning is grateful to the mcbains for their stewardship of the child in question and he is sympathetic to the loss this will be for them . but the simple truth is tommy is a manning , not a mcbain . he belongs with his father , a father who has more than demonstrated his commitment to making his child an integral part of a very devoted , very loving family . thank you . judy : your honor , michael and marcie mcbain have been much more than stewards through the first year of tommy 's life . they 've raised him as their son . they 've not just fed and bathed him , comforted him , sung to him , laughed with him , rejoiced in his growth and development . they 've planned a future for him -- with them . they did not do this deceitfully or underhandedly . it was neither illegal nor unethical because , as far as they knew , the adoption of their son was 0 % legal , final , and unequivocal . so , your honor , i sincerely hope that you will make your decision in this case based on what is in the child 's best interest , regardless of biology . todd manning may share tommy 's dna , but he does not share the same heart . we have proven that todd manning is an unfit parent . i do n't think i need to go over the long list of his comes to make the point that he is simply not equipped to offer that little boy the stability and guidance and consistency that he deserves . so we urge you to keep tommy where he belongs -- in a safe and loving home , his home -- with his parents , michael and marcie mcbain .

[ scene_break ] morgan : your honor , a lot of mud has been slung today in this court -- most of it against my client . but nothing changes the fact that the law is on his side . todd manning is tommy mcbain 's birth father , and he has been denied access to that child through circumstances beyond his control . your honor , it is now within the power of this court to reunite him with the son he loves and wants , desperately . mr. manning is grateful to the mcbains for their stewardship of the child in question and he is sympathetic to the loss this will be for them . but the simple truth is tommy is a manning , not a mcbain . he belongs with his father , a father who has more than demonstrated his commitment to making his child an integral part of a very devoted , very loving family . thank you . judy : your honor , michael and marcie mcbain have been much more than stewards through the first year of tommy 's life . they 've raised him as their son . they 've not just fed and bathed him , comforted him , sung to him , laughed with him , rejoiced in his growth and development . they 've planned a future for him -- with them . they did not do this deceitfully or underhandedly . it was neither illegal nor unethical because , as far as they knew , the adoption of their son was 0 % legal , final , and unequivocal . so , your honor , i sincerely hope that you will make your decision in this case based on what is in the child 's best interest , regardless of biology . todd manning may share tommy 's dna , but he does not share the same heart . we have proven that todd manning is an unfit parent . i do n't think i need to go over the long list of his comes to make the point that he is simply not equipped to offer that little boy the stability and guidance and consistency that he deserves . so we urge you to keep tommy where he belongs -- in a safe and loving home , his home -- with his parents , michael and marcie mcbain .
