tracy : there you go , daddy . home safe and sound . but it 's only temporary . nikolas may have stolen elq from the quartermaines , but he 's damn well not gon na keep it . [ scene_break ] jake : mmm ! hell of a headline , huh ? elizabeth : yeah . i 'm guessing the past couple days at work have been eventful . jake : yeah . you could say that . i was trying to help michael hold onto his family company . that clearly did n't go very well . elizabeth : and no one had any idea nikolas was trying to take over elq ? jake : not until it was too late . did you know ? [ scene_break ] tracy : clever puns aside , i hope elq gives you indigestion , you treacherous parasite . [ knocking ] ava : hello in the house . tracy : is the concept of a front door unclear ? i can not imagine what you want . but vegas is that way . ava : oh , i 'm not looking for the craps table , sweets . i 'm denise demuccio . i 'm looking for michael quartermaine . [ scene_break ] michael : aj ! sabrina : michael , what ? michael : oh . i thought i overslept and that aj was awake , waiting for me . i forgot she 's with sonny . today is my first day without my sister . [ scene_break ] sonny : so you probably had a rough night , even though you look absolutely beautiful , because you did n't remember your room or your house . right ? 'cause you were n't here long enough . but you know what ? that 's all gon na change . you know why ? because this is your home ... for good . okay ? [ knock on door ] sonny : whoa ! you made it . hey . say hi to your big brother . dante : please tell me you did n't take that baby from michael . sonny : he -- he ... he brought her back to me . dante : i hope you know how difficult that must have been for him . sonny : i do . dante : did he forgive you ? sonny : not yet . dante : but he chose to make peace for the good of the family . that 's good . sonny : yeah . dante : not everyone is that selfless . sonny : i guess you mean me . dante : actually , no , i was talking about lulu . [ scene_break ] dillon : good morning . lulu : what time is it ? dillon : it 's three hours earlier than it is back home . lulu : why are you up so early ? dillon : i never slept . lulu : i told you to let me sleep on the floor . dillon : yeah , but that would make me unchivalrous , not to mention a wuss . i 'd rather be sleepless with a crick in my back . at least i know i gallantly let the lady have the bed . lulu : hmm . i do n't even remember falling asleep . i tried so hard to stay awake in case my parents called with an update . dillon : unfortunately , no news . radio silence . lulu : so lucky is still out there . he 's still in trouble . [ scene_break ] luke : well ... this is different . [ waking up between laura & holly ] [ scene_break ] tracy : so you 're denise demuccio ? ava : yeah , yeah , in the flesh . and you are ? tracy : i 'm tracy quartermaine , michael 's aunt . ava : oh , his aunt . oh , you quartermaines , you do n't stray too far from the nest , do you ? all living together under one big , fancy roof . tracy : often to our regret . ava : oh . that 's family for ya , i suppose . although i would n't really know . i did n't grow up with too much family . but now , oh , i have a slew of relatives to meet . [ chuckles ] hey ... did you know my sister ? tracy : uh , yes , we crossed paths at the breakfast table every once in a while . she made the lamentable mistake of trying to sit in my seat at the table . ava : ava lived here ? tracy : briefly . it 's a long story . ask franco . now , if there 's nothing else ... ava : oh , no , but there is . you see , i still have to see michael . tracy : well , you 'll have to look someplace else , because he 's not here . i do n't think he slept here last night . [ scene_break ] sabrina : do you regret giving her back to sonny ? michael : no , it 's ... it was the right choice . sabrina : well , i 'm proud of you . that was a big step . michael : yeah , well , first of two . the other one was with you , here , last night . sabrina : how would you feel about taking that step one more time ? michael : next time , you do n't have to ask . [ scene_break ] sonny : all right . [ baby cries ] sonny : no ? look , look . [ baby cooing ] sonny : so , what , you and lulu get in a fight ? dante : no , she took off . sonny : well , sometimes , you know , that happens . you know , things get heated ... one of you needs a breather . carly and i , we fought all the time , and then she would stomp out . dante : yeah , well , this ... this is n't that . sonny : all i 'm saying is she 's gon na come back , right ? i mean , wherever she is , she 's gon na figure it out , come back , you guys are gon na make up . dante : not this time . she 's , uh ... she 's having an affair with dillon quartermaine . [ scene_break ] lulu : okay , that 's it , i 'm calling my parents and asking them what 's what . dillon : your parents will get in touch with you as soon as they have something to tell you . in the meantime , i say we take advantage of this precious moment of quiet by availing ourselves to the room service i charged to lloyd and lucy johnson . lulu : oh , my dad is paying for this . he will be pleased . dillon : well , after what he did to my mother , i 'd like to see him try to complain . now , mangia . we 're gon na need energy if we have to drop everything on a moment 's notice to rescue lucky . lulu : i ca n't fault your reasoning . dillon : that 's because i 'm faultless . lulu : mm - hmm ! dillon : unlike the protagonist in the newest revised script . check it out . lulu : mmm ! dillon : revisions begin on page one . lulu : i see you put your sleepless night to good use . dillon : i totally faulted up the previously flaw - free dillon stand - in . i kept the hot body , though . lulu : [ chuckles ] good , otherwise everyone would think he was completely unbelievable . dillon : naturally . no , but really , thank you for your help last night . the script is better for it . lulu : well , i 'm glad to be of help . besides , it takes the edge off of lying to my husband for my parents . [ scene_break ] luke : did you get any sleep ? laura : no . luke : english ? holly : guess . luke : [ sighs ] me , neither . it 's the mattress . i 'm sure i was strapped to this very same torture device in some flop house in abuja . holly : of course , the mattress . laura : or could it be that you 're sleeping next to two of your exes ? holly : good call . luke : well , i 'm sick of staring at the ceiling , waiting for these clowns to call . i 'm sick of being led around by my nose . holly : oh , come on , luke , we 're all in the same boat . luke : well , we 've got to take some action . laura : what can we do ? we do n't know where these people are , who they are , or where they 're holding our sons . we do n't even have one lead . holly : that 's not necessarily true . [ scene_break ] elizabeth : why would i know nikolas was after elq ? jake : i 'm sorry , i did n't mean to imply that you had prior knowledge of nikolas trying to steal the company . elizabeth : oh . well , then what did you mean ? jake : it 's just , you know , you two are close , so maybe he said something that you did n't quite pick up on at the time , but in retrospect , he was talking about the takeover . elizabeth : oh , no , no . no , it was as big a surprise to me as it was to everyone else . nikolas likes to play his business affairs pretty close to the vest . jake : yeah . and he has no problem betraying people 's trust . i imagine you know that he was married to a quartermaine . elizabeth : emily . she was my best friend . nikolas was pretty devastated when she died . jake : yeah , well ... [ clears throat ] now he 's screwing over her family . elizabeth : oh , it 's ... it 's just a difficult situation . jake : look , i ... i do n't want to put you in an awkward position , but i 'm warning you , friend or no friend , that bastard 's not gon na get away with this . [ nikolas clears throat ] jake : ah , nikolas , you 've got that `` whole sneaking up on people `` thing down to a science , do n't ya ? nikolas : am i interrupting anything ? jake : no , not at all . we 're just discussing your headline . elizabeth : that 's quite the picture there . nikolas : yeah , it 's ... a bit over - the - top for my taste . but if you go on to read the article , it suggests a clear bias in favor of elq . jake : oh , how so ? nikolas : well , it goes on to say that ... what are they calling me ? ah , yes ! `` bandit . `` jake : you 're not one of those , are you ? nikolas : i detect a hint of sarcasm . jake : no , not at all . see , bandits are legendary . jesse james , billy the kid . you 're not a bandit . you 're not legendary . you 're just a simple , common thief . nikolas : being on the wrong side of this takeover , it 's only natural for you to harbor ill will towards me , but please try and understand , it 's just business . jake : you used blackmail , extortion , and corporate espionage to gain those shares . that makes you a criminal . nikolas : you 're awfully loyal to a family that you 've only been working for , what , two , three weeks ? elizabeth : all right , you guys , enough . this is over and done with , okay ? jake : there 's no such thing to me as very loyal . you 're either loyal or you 're not . nikolas : well , i certainly appreciate your candor . jake : i 'm glad you do . elizabeth : as well as your efforts in relation to elq . you were just a half- step behind me . jake : you had a hell of a head start . elizabeth : my point exactly . you 're very good at your job . which is why i would like you to stay on board . [ scene_break ] ava : michael did n't sleep here ? well , where did he sleep ? tracy : i am not my nephew 's keeper . ava : well , what about my niece ? is she here ? tracy : gee , i just do n't think that that 's any of your concern . ava : that baby is michael 's responsibility . and if he and his snooty nanny are n't here , where the hell is my baby niece , huh ? ! tracy : well , allow me to expand on my earlier statement . i am not my nephew , sabrina 's , or the baby 's keeper . so arrivederci , signorina demuccio . ava : no , no , no , no , no , no ! you see , i called . i left a message for michael confirming that i was gon na visit that baby this morning . tracy : good for you ! i do n't know anything about it . ava : well , i did n't come all the way out here just to be turned away , because michael went out on some bender and is sleeping it off with some floozy somewhere . so i 'm just gon na pop on up and spend a little quality time with the munchkin , and ... do n't mind me , okay ? tracy : oh , yeah . i do mind you . [ scene_break ] sabrina : [ sighs ] should n't we get up at some point ? michael : well , my schedule 's pretty wide open at this point . i have no job , i have no baby sister to take care of , i have nowhere in particular to be . sabrina : well , there must be something we have to do . michael : is that your way of telling me to get lost ? sabrina : [ laughs ] no . as far as i 'm concerned , i got everything i need when i 'm with you . [ kiss ] michael : actually , now that i think about it , there is something i have to take care of . sabrina : anything i can help with ? michael : only if you want to . sabrina : of course . i would n't ask if i did n't . michael : well , my sister 's in a strange place with people she does n't really know . the least i can do is make sure she has her things . so would you ... do you want to help me box up her things and bring them over to sonny 's ? [ scene_break ] sonny : you 're telling me lulu 's sleeping with dillon quartermaine ? dante : i 'm telling you , sonny , that there 's something going on . sonny : i do n't buy it , because she 's head over heels for you . dante : yeah , well , not anymore . sonny : you know that as a fact 'cause you saw them ... doing something ? dante : she lied to me . she went to the quartermaine house where she met up with dillon . the guy 's waiting for her with a towel on . sonny : did you ask her about it ? dante : i did n't get a chance to . they took off . sonny : so she left you and rocco behind to go with that son of a bitch ? dante : yeah , she tells me she 's going to italy to visit her grandmother . i found out she 's up in canada , sharing a hotel room with the guy . sonny : wait , something 's missing here . were you two having problems ? dante : no , nothing we could n't figure out . sonny : then why would she do that ? dante : i do n't know ! i do n't know , but she did , and she is . and last night , i almost returned the favor . [ scene_break ] dillon : look , i know it sucks having to lie to dante . i feel the same way about keeping all of this from my mother . she 's heartbroken over what she thinks your dad did to her . lulu : i know , i feel terrible . dillon : i wish more than anything that i could just tell her we 're trying to keep your brother out of danger , but could you imagine what would happen if i came clean ? lulu : she would want to be involved -- just like dante . dillon : on a scale of one to 10 , 10 being disastrous , telling my mother the truth is a 7 . telling dante is a perfect 10 . he 's a cop . i mean , it 's at least conceivable that he 'd report this . lulu : i know , and the kidnappers would kill lucky . i know all of this , okay ? i keep reminding myself over and over , but guess what ? ! it does n't make me feel any less guilty about lying to my husband . and now i 'm unloading on you . [ chuckles ] you 're probably wishing that you were on a movie set , somewhere , anywhere on location in the sahara -- anywhere but here with me . dillon : wrong . i 'm glad we 're in this together . lulu : it 's just another spencer catastrophe . at least we 're consistent . dillon : look , before you know it , this will all be over and you can explain everything to dante . he 'll understand why you could n't talk to him about it . lulu : yeah , i hope you 're right . dillon : it 'll be okay , i promise . [ scene_break ] luke : have you been holding out on us ? laura : for god 's sake , holly , if you knew something about these kidnappers , why would you wait until now to tell us ? holly : i do n't have any information . i 've just come to a conclusion . the only common denominator in these kidnappings is luke . ethan and lucky are your sons . so whoever has taken them is obviously trying to exact some kind of satisfaction from luke . luke : so you 're saying this is my fault ? holly : no , of course not . luke : no , you are . clearly , i wronged some scum bucket along the way , and he 's decided to take it out on my sons . ethan and lucky are suffering because of me ! laura : luke , holly did n't say that . luke : she did n't need to . holly : luke , stop , i 'm not blaming you . luke : oh , no , it 's all right . i know the way i 've lived . i know i ca n't escape my past . all i can do is face it and try to protect the people i love from it . so if you 'll excuse me , i 'm gon na go make sure my daughter has not been taken away because of me , too ! holly : [ sighs ] [ door closes ] holly : well , i did n't think that would set him off . laura : he 's got a lot on his mind . holly : yeah , of course he does , but do n't we all ? you know , our sons in danger like this is no excuse for a tantrum . laura : for what it 's worth , i got the sense that ethan could handle himself quite well in any situation . holly : yeah , he told me about his adventure with you and luke . laura : yes , clearly , he inherited the best of both his parents . holly : that 's really kind of you to say that ... given that you might not be naturally predisposed to liking him . laura : i can see where you would think that ... given that luke sired him with you when he was still married to me . [ scene_break ] jake : you want to hire me ? nikolas : elq needs a head of security . why not keep the man that already has the job ? jake : because i 've been actively trying to stop you . nikolas : prior to my takeover of elq , we were perfectly friendly with each other . we both care very much about elizabeth . i took care of your hospital -- jake : oh , here we go ! that makes sense . so now i owe you a debt , right ? elizabeth : no . i do n't think that 's what he meant by it . nikolas : no , that 's -- jake : let 's find out what he meant . nikolas : that 's not what i 'm talking about . look , it 's been a rough couple of weeks for elq . jake : and whose fault is that ? nikolas : i 'm just trying to stabilize the company . jake : oh , what , wait , you want me to help you smooth the way ? is that what you want me to do ? nikolas : no . what 's good for me is good for the quartermaines . jake : oh , that 's a coincidence . nikolas : they may not be in charge anymore , jake , but they still have a vested interest in the success of the company . elq makes money , they make money . now , if you are as loyal as you seem to be , it behooves you to stay onboard . so what do you say ? [ scene_break ] ava : i want to see my niece . tracy : and i want romance , adventure , enough corporate power to crush my enemies . but like you , i will not be getting what i want today . beat it . ava : hey , look , tracy , is it ? tracy : oh , please . ava : i really do n't want to fight . tracy : oh , well , then if i were you , i would run like hell for the hills , 'cause after the last few days i 've had , i am itching for a fight . ava : what is your damage ? all i did was come here to see my sweet , little baby niece . tracy : yes , a niece who in her very short life has been kidnapped not once , but twice . and she 's not gon na get kidnapped a third time on my watch ! ava : oh , finally ! sabrina : is everything okay ? ava : no , no , it 's not , actually . but maybe it will be now that you 're here . michael : oh , what are you -- what are you doing here , denise ? ava : i think you know what i 'm doing here . i called you , and i left a message for you telling you that i was gon na come by and see the baby this morning , but you were too busy getting busy with the nanny here to check your messages , right ? well , now that you 've finally come up for air , would you please be so kind as to escort me upstairs so i can see avery ? michael : i 'm afraid that wo n't be possible , my ... [ clears throat ] my sister does n't live with me anymore . she lives with her father . ava : her -- her father ? ! michael : i gave her back to sonny . [ scene_break ] sonny : payback 's a dangerous game , especially between husband and wife . dante : tell me about it . but i ... i kissed her cousin valerie last night . sonny : how far did it go , dante ? dante : it did n't . she stopped it . sonny : boy , she 's smart . because if she did n't put the brakes on , this whole situation would be a lot worse . dante : yep , and it almost was . sonny : what does that mean ? dante : well , i was gon na hop on a plane last night and confront lulu , and valerie convinced me that it was a bad idea . sonny : that 's good advice , but you got to have this out with lulu -- the sooner , the better . [ scene_break ] lulu : was that the phone ? dillon : still no news from your parents . [ knock on door ] luke : you decent ? lulu : we were about two seconds away from coming and breaking down your door . dillon : is there any news ? luke : there 's been a development . lulu : did lucky 's kidnappers finally make contact ? luke : no . but holly sutton did . [ scene_break ] holly : well , i suppose this conversation was inevitable , that my past with luke would ... rear its head . laura : were you hoping to avoid it ? holly : for the record , the only thing i can really think about right now is ethan getting out alive and in one piece . laura : and for the record , i want that for you and ethan just as much as i want it for lucky . holly : but since we 're here , why do n't you let me have it ? give it to me with both barrels . laura : yeah . yeah , you know , i 'm not really here to even any kind of score . [ sighs ] my marriage to luke was over a long , long time ago . and we both kept secrets from each other , and we both made mistakes . i really just want to put that chapter of my life to rest . holly : well , once upon a time ... in hong kong , i was running a scam , and completely out of the blue , i ran into luke ... in a casino . and we had n't set eyes on each other for years , but it was like not a day had passed . it all came rushing back . his charm and his volatility and ... well , you know . laura : mmm . holly : and i knew that it was n't a good idea to get involved with him , but i did n't care . we spent a weekend together with a tacit understanding that it would ... it would n't last a moment longer . we said goodbye , and that was that . until i found out i was pregnant . laura : with ethan . holly : and i was in no position at that time to raise a child , especially on my own . and to be honest , i did n't think that luke had it in him to be a father . little did i know then that he already was . laura : you never knew ? holly : that luke was married and had a son when he slept with me ? he did n't say . and i did n't ask . i ca n't regret what happened . but i do regret any pain that it may have caused you . for that -- for that , i apologize . laura : what 's past is past , huh ? [ sighs ] the only thing that 's important right now is that we both have sons we love , and we 've got to find a way to get them home safely . [ scene_break ] jake : you 're saying i should take this job out of respect for the quartermaines ? nikolas : maybe . but if that does n't cut it ... take a look at the compensation package i put together . i 'm sure you 'll find me quite generous . elizabeth : thank you for thinking of him . nikolas : he 's the right man for the job . elizabeth : well , does he have to give you an answer right now ? nikolas : no . no , not right this minute , but i 'd like to get it squared away as soon as possible . so , please , consider it . jake : oh , there 's no need . i 'm not interested . you can put that back where you got it . nikolas : you really do n't want to see how much is on the table here ? jake : no , i do n't . i do n't want to take another damn dime from you . i 'm gon na get a job from someone else , anyone else , and i 'm gon na pay you back for the hospital bills . thank you very much . if it takes me the rest of my life , i will pay you back , every damn dime . nikolas : that was a gift , not a loan . jake : no , you had an agenda . you 've got an agenda right now . you are desperate to have me on your side , and i really want to know why . [ scene_break ] ava : you had custody of her . why would you give her up ? tracy : that 's a really good question . i 'm sure that monica and her boyfriend , the judge , are gon na want to know the answer to that . michael : the custody fight was tearing avery 's family apart . it had to be over , and now it is . and she 's living with sonny now . ava : sonny is a killer . he kills people . and people he loves , they get killed . you did n't have a problem sending her back to that world ? michael : sonny promised me that he would protect her . ava : and did he not make you the same assurance ? how did that turn out for you , michael ? michael : look , if you have a problem with it , you can feel free to take it up with him . i 'm not sure what you can possibly do about it , though . ava : you watch me . [ scene_break ] sonny : what do you mean , you 're going after lulu ? dante : i got a ticket for the next flight to vancouver . i was hoping you could watch rocco . i 'd ask bobbie , but i do n't want to involve lulu 's family . sonny : well , i 'd be happy to watch rocco on one condition . you got to let lulu speak for herself , 'cause you may find out this whole thing is wrong . dante : i want answers from my wife . sonny : yeah . dante : and the only way to get them is if i go where she is , and she 's up in canada , so that 's what i 'm doing . sonny : okay . dante : i 'll have the babysitter bring rocco by . sonny : no problem . dante : [ sighs ] thanks for doing this . sonny : well , you know , you 're my son , and this may not be much comfort to you , but ... i got your back . [ scene_break ] lulu : ethan is gone , too ? luke : apparently nabbed by the same suckers who took lucky . lulu : okay , this is insane . both of my brothers are in danger , both of them could be ... luke : all right , i know you 're scared . this is what we 're gon na do . we 're gon na take five seconds to be scared , and then we 're gon na let it go . and never forget , we have the advantage because we 're spencers . when one of us is down , the others gather ' round and pull 'em up . that 's what we 've always done , that 's what we 're gon na do now . take your five seconds . lulu : i do n't need 'em . i 'm good to go . [ scene_break ] holly : it 's tragic . it 's sad . and desperate and truly horrible to think of what luke had to experience . all that violence , it ... and he was just a boy . laura : but it explains an awful lot , do n't you think ? holly : yeah , about luke and about his cousin , bill eckert , too . i mean , their paths barely crossed until right before bill died , but he was there , looking out for luke , protecting him and keeping his secret . laura : did you know bill eckert , too ? holly : no . but from what i hear , he was ... he was hard to know . i mean , obviously , he had a capability for great love , great courage . but , apparently , he had a darkness about him . laura : sound like somebody else we know ? holly : i wonder , though , if luke would have fared better if bill had been less loyal . if he told the authorities about luke 's father 's death . you know , maybe luke would have got some help . laura : oh , i do n't think so . back then , i think it 's more likely that luke would have just been sent to jail for having killed his father . holly : hmm . yeah , and then where would the two of us be today ? laura : mm - hmm . holly : no ethan , no lucky , and no lulu . laura : yes , luke gave me a family , and for that , i will always be grateful . holly : you do n't begrudge him the pain he put you through ? laura : do you ? yeah , i 'm way past it , too . i know that i chose luke because i loved him . and sometimes loving luke spencer is hard , you know ? i felt kind of tested by it . at times , almost even broken by it . but ... i do n't know . at the end of the day , i survived him . holly : well , let 's hope our sons do , too . [ cell phone rings ] holly : is that -- laura : yeah , unknown caller . [ ringing continues ] laura : hello ? male distorted voice : good morning , mothers . are you missing your sons yet ? [ scene_break ] nikolas : i can assure you i have no other motive than to hire the best person for the job . jake : let me be clear about what my motives are . i am motivated to take you down . to rip that company you stole out of your hands . maybe i 'll see you convicted of , i do n't know , extortion , blackmail , all the other crimes you committed against the people who trusted you . how about that ? those are my motivations . nikolas : i 'm sorry you feel that way , jake . jake : not as sorry as you 're gon na be , i promise you that . elizabeth : jake . jake : hey , do n't . i owe michael quartermaine . he gave me a shot when nobody else would . and even if he did n't do that , i just happen to like the guy , because he 's loyal and he 's honorable , and that 's why he did n't see you coming , you tricky son of a bitch . but i see you . i see you right now . and i 'm gon na make you pay . you know what 's great about being me ? i 've got nothing to lose . but you , you have got a long way to fall , and i 'm really gon na enjoy making that happen . do you get me ? so this is me not accepting your offer . this is a rejection . take it ... and get away from me . nikolas : that 's your choice . excuse me . jake : [ clears throat ] sorry . do you want to take a drive , huh ? all right , want to go ? i 'll take you to work ? elizabeth : no , i -- it 's kind of early . jake : well , let 's just drive anywhere , okay ? i ca n't breathe the same air as the son of a bitch . elizabeth : you know what ? i think , um ... i think you need some time ... to yourself . i 'm just gon na -- i need to speak with nikolas , okay ? jake : do n't you apologize to him for me . elizabeth : i would never speak for you . but nikolas is my friend . jake : okay , yeah , i understand . i guess there are some setbacks to being with me , huh ? sorry . elizabeth : you 're worth it .

[ scene_break ] lulu : okay , that 's it , i 'm calling my parents and asking them what 's what . dillon : your parents will get in touch with you as soon as they have something to tell you . in the meantime , i say we take advantage of this precious moment of quiet by availing ourselves to the room service i charged to lloyd and lucy johnson . lulu : oh , my dad is paying for this . he will be pleased . dillon : well , after what he did to my mother , i 'd like to see him try to complain . now , mangia . we 're gon na need energy if we have to drop everything on a moment 's notice to rescue lucky . lulu : i ca n't fault your reasoning . dillon : that 's because i 'm faultless . lulu : mm - hmm ! dillon : unlike the protagonist in the newest revised script . check it out . lulu : mmm ! dillon : revisions begin on page one . lulu : i see you put your sleepless night to good use . dillon : i totally faulted up the previously flaw - free dillon stand - in . i kept the hot body , though . lulu : [ chuckles ] good , otherwise everyone would think he was completely unbelievable . dillon : naturally . no , but really , thank you for your help last night . the script is better for it . lulu : well , i 'm glad to be of help . besides , it takes the edge off of lying to my husband for my parents . [ scene_break ] luke : did you get any sleep ? laura : no . luke : english ? holly : guess . luke : [ sighs ] me , neither . it 's the mattress . i 'm sure i was strapped to this very same torture device in some flop house in abuja . holly : of course , the mattress . laura : or could it be that you 're sleeping next to two of your exes ? holly : good call . luke : well , i 'm sick of staring at the ceiling , waiting for these clowns to call . i 'm sick of being led around by my nose . holly : oh , come on , luke , we 're all in the same boat . luke : well , we 've got to take some action . laura : what can we do ? we do n't know where these people are , who they are , or where they 're holding our sons . we do n't even have one lead . holly : that 's not necessarily true . [ scene_break ] elizabeth : why would i know nikolas was after elq ? jake : i 'm sorry , i did n't mean to imply that you had prior knowledge of nikolas trying to steal the company . elizabeth : oh . well , then what did you mean ? jake : it 's just , you know , you two are close , so maybe he said something that you did n't quite pick up on at the time , but in retrospect , he was talking about the takeover . elizabeth : oh , no , no . no , it was as big a surprise to me as it was to everyone else . nikolas likes to play his business affairs pretty close to the vest . jake : yeah . and he has no problem betraying people 's trust . i imagine you know that he was married to a quartermaine . elizabeth : emily . she was my best friend . nikolas was pretty devastated when she died . jake : yeah , well ... [ clears throat ] now he 's screwing over her family . elizabeth : oh , it 's ... it 's just a difficult situation . jake : look , i ... i do n't want to put you in an awkward position , but i 'm warning you , friend or no friend , that bastard 's not gon na get away with this .

[ scene_break ] ava : michael did n't sleep here ? well , where did he sleep ? tracy : i am not my nephew 's keeper . ava : well , what about my niece ? is she here ? tracy : gee , i just do n't think that that 's any of your concern . ava : that baby is michael 's responsibility . and if he and his snooty nanny are n't here , where the hell is my baby niece , huh ? ! tracy : well , allow me to expand on my earlier statement . i am not my nephew , sabrina 's , or the baby 's keeper . so arrivederci , signorina demuccio . ava : no , no , no , no , no , no ! you see , i called . i left a message for michael confirming that i was gon na visit that baby this morning . tracy : good for you ! i do n't know anything about it . ava : well , i did n't come all the way out here just to be turned away , because michael went out on some bender and is sleeping it off with some floozy somewhere . so i 'm just gon na pop on up and spend a little quality time with the munchkin , and ... do n't mind me , okay ? tracy : oh , yeah . i do mind you . [ scene_break ] sabrina : [ sighs ] should n't we get up at some point ? michael : well , my schedule 's pretty wide open at this point . i have no job , i have no baby sister to take care of , i have nowhere in particular to be . sabrina : well , there must be something we have to do . michael : is that your way of telling me to get lost ? sabrina : [ laughs ] no . as far as i 'm concerned , i got everything i need when i 'm with you . [ kiss ] michael : actually , now that i think about it , there is something i have to take care of . sabrina : anything i can help with ? michael : only if you want to . sabrina : of course . i would n't ask if i did n't . michael : well , my sister 's in a strange place with people she does n't really know . the least i can do is make sure she has her things . so would you ... do you want to help me box up her things and bring them over to sonny 's ? [ scene_break ] sonny : you 're telling me lulu 's sleeping with dillon quartermaine ? dante : i 'm telling you , sonny , that there 's something going on . sonny : i do n't buy it , because she 's head over heels for you . dante : yeah , well , not anymore . sonny : you know that as a fact 'cause you saw them ... doing something ? dante : she lied to me . she went to the quartermaine house where she met up with dillon . the guy 's waiting for her with a towel on . sonny : did you ask her about it ? dante : i did n't get a chance to . they took off . sonny : so she left you and rocco behind to go with that son of a bitch ? dante : yeah , she tells me she 's going to italy to visit her grandmother . i found out she 's up in canada , sharing a hotel room with the guy . sonny : wait , something 's missing here . were you two having problems ? dante : no , nothing we could n't figure out . sonny : then why would she do that ? dante : i do n't know ! i do n't know , but she did , and she is . and last night , i almost returned the favor . [ scene_break ] dillon : look , i know it sucks having to lie to dante . i feel the same way about keeping all of this from my mother . she 's heartbroken over what she thinks your dad did to her . lulu : i know , i feel terrible . dillon : i wish more than anything that i could just tell her we 're trying to keep your brother out of danger , but could you imagine what would happen if i came clean ? lulu : she would want to be involved -- just like dante . dillon : on a scale of one to 10 , 10 being disastrous , telling my mother the truth is a 7 . telling dante is a perfect 10 . he 's a cop . i mean , it 's at least conceivable that he 'd report this . lulu : i know , and the kidnappers would kill lucky . i know all of this , okay ? i keep reminding myself over and over , but guess what ? ! it does n't make me feel any less guilty about lying to my husband . and now i 'm unloading on you . [ chuckles ] you 're probably wishing that you were on a movie set , somewhere , anywhere on location in the sahara -- anywhere but here with me . dillon : wrong . i 'm glad we 're in this together . lulu : it 's just another spencer catastrophe . at least we 're consistent . dillon : look , before you know it , this will all be over and you can explain everything to dante . he 'll understand why you could n't talk to him about it . lulu : yeah , i hope you 're right . dillon : it 'll be okay , i promise . [ scene_break ] luke : have you been holding out on us ? laura : for god 's sake , holly , if you knew something about these kidnappers , why would you wait until now to tell us ? holly : i do n't have any information . i 've just come to a conclusion . the only common denominator in these kidnappings is luke . ethan and lucky are your sons . so whoever has taken them is obviously trying to exact some kind of satisfaction from luke . luke : so you 're saying this is my fault ? holly : no , of course not . luke : no , you are . clearly , i wronged some scum bucket along the way , and he 's decided to take it out on my sons . ethan and lucky are suffering because of me ! laura : luke , holly did n't say that . luke : she did n't need to . holly : luke , stop , i 'm not blaming you . luke : oh , no , it 's all right . i know the way i 've lived . i know i ca n't escape my past . all i can do is face it and try to protect the people i love from it . so if you 'll excuse me , i 'm gon na go make sure my daughter has not been taken away because of me , too ! holly : [ sighs ] [ door closes ] holly : well , i did n't think that would set him off . laura : he 's got a lot on his mind . holly : yeah , of course he does , but do n't we all ? you know , our sons in danger like this is no excuse for a tantrum . laura : for what it 's worth , i got the sense that ethan could handle himself quite well in any situation . holly : yeah , he told me about his adventure with you and luke . laura : yes , clearly , he inherited the best of both his parents . holly : that 's really kind of you to say that ... given that you might not be naturally predisposed to liking him . laura : i can see where you would think that ... given that luke sired him with you when he was still married to me . [ scene_break ] jake : you want to hire me ? nikolas : elq needs a head of security . why not keep the man that already has the job ? jake : because i 've been actively trying to stop you . nikolas : prior to my takeover of elq , we were perfectly friendly with each other . we both care very much about elizabeth . i took care of your hospital -- jake : oh , here we go ! that makes sense . so now i owe you a debt , right ? elizabeth : no . i do n't think that 's what he meant by it . nikolas : no , that 's -- jake : let 's find out what he meant . nikolas : that 's not what i 'm talking about . look , it 's been a rough couple of weeks for elq . jake : and whose fault is that ? nikolas : i 'm just trying to stabilize the company . jake : oh , what , wait , you want me to help you smooth the way ? is that what you want me to do ? nikolas : no . what 's good for me is good for the quartermaines . jake : oh , that 's a coincidence . nikolas : they may not be in charge anymore , jake , but they still have a vested interest in the success of the company . elq makes money , they make money . now , if you are as loyal as you seem to be , it behooves you to stay onboard . so what do you say ? [ scene_break ] ava : i want to see my niece . tracy : and i want romance , adventure , enough corporate power to crush my enemies . but like you , i will not be getting what i want today . beat it . ava : hey , look , tracy , is it ? tracy : oh , please . ava : i really do n't want to fight . tracy : oh , well , then if i were you , i would run like hell for the hills , 'cause after the last few days i 've had , i am itching for a fight . ava : what is your damage ? all i did was come here to see my sweet , little baby niece . tracy : yes , a niece who in her very short life has been kidnapped not once , but twice . and she 's not gon na get kidnapped a third time on my watch ! ava : oh , finally ! sabrina : is everything okay ? ava : no , no , it 's not , actually . but maybe it will be now that you 're here . michael : oh , what are you -- what are you doing here , denise ? ava : i think you know what i 'm doing here . i called you , and i left a message for you telling you that i was gon na come by and see the baby this morning , but you were too busy getting busy with the nanny here to check your messages , right ? well , now that you 've finally come up for air , would you please be so kind as to escort me upstairs so i can see avery ? michael : i 'm afraid that wo n't be possible , my ...

[ scene_break ] holly : well , i suppose this conversation was inevitable , that my past with luke would ... rear its head . laura : were you hoping to avoid it ? holly : for the record , the only thing i can really think about right now is ethan getting out alive and in one piece . laura : and for the record , i want that for you and ethan just as much as i want it for lucky . holly : but since we 're here , why do n't you let me have it ? give it to me with both barrels . laura : yeah . yeah , you know , i 'm not really here to even any kind of score . [ sighs ] my marriage to luke was over a long , long time ago . and we both kept secrets from each other , and we both made mistakes . i really just want to put that chapter of my life to rest . holly : well , once upon a time ... in hong kong , i was running a scam , and completely out of the blue , i ran into luke ... in a casino . and we had n't set eyes on each other for years , but it was like not a day had passed . it all came rushing back . his charm and his volatility and ... well , you know . laura : mmm . holly : and i knew that it was n't a good idea to get involved with him , but i did n't care . we spent a weekend together with a tacit understanding that it would ... it would n't last a moment longer . we said goodbye , and that was that . until i found out i was pregnant . laura : with ethan . holly : and i was in no position at that time to raise a child , especially on my own . and to be honest , i did n't think that luke had it in him to be a father . little did i know then that he already was . laura : you never knew ? holly : that luke was married and had a son when he slept with me ? he did n't say . and i did n't ask . i ca n't regret what happened . but i do regret any pain that it may have caused you . for that -- for that , i apologize . laura : what 's past is past , huh ? [ sighs ] the only thing that 's important right now is that we both have sons we love , and we 've got to find a way to get them home safely . [ scene_break ] jake : you 're saying i should take this job out of respect for the quartermaines ? nikolas : maybe . but if that does n't cut it ... take a look at the compensation package i put together . i 'm sure you 'll find me quite generous . elizabeth : thank you for thinking of him . nikolas : he 's the right man for the job . elizabeth : well , does he have to give you an answer right now ? nikolas : no . no , not right this minute , but i 'd like to get it squared away as soon as possible . so , please , consider it . jake : oh , there 's no need . i 'm not interested . you can put that back where you got it . nikolas : you really do n't want to see how much is on the table here ? jake : no , i do n't . i do n't want to take another damn dime from you . i 'm gon na get a job from someone else , anyone else , and i 'm gon na pay you back for the hospital bills . thank you very much . if it takes me the rest of my life , i will pay you back , every damn dime . nikolas : that was a gift , not a loan . jake : no , you had an agenda . you 've got an agenda right now . you are desperate to have me on your side , and i really want to know why . [ scene_break ] ava : you had custody of her . why would you give her up ? tracy : that 's a really good question . i 'm sure that monica and her boyfriend , the judge , are gon na want to know the answer to that . michael : the custody fight was tearing avery 's family apart . it had to be over , and now it is . and she 's living with sonny now . ava : sonny is a killer . he kills people . and people he loves , they get killed . you did n't have a problem sending her back to that world ? michael : sonny promised me that he would protect her . ava : and did he not make you the same assurance ? how did that turn out for you , michael ? michael : look , if you have a problem with it , you can feel free to take it up with him . i 'm not sure what you can possibly do about it , though . ava : you watch me .

[ scene_break ] paul : why would i waste a million dollars trying to protect dusty from josie ? emily : paul , all you have to do is offer the million dollars , not give it to her . paul : right , and make sure that dusty finds out about it . emily : you get josie to meet with you in a public place . and you tell her you will give her anything she wants if she leaves town , because it is far too upsetting for your mother to have her here . and i will make sure dusty is within earshot of all it . paul : right , so dusty can find out who josie truly is and then you 'll have him all to yourself . emily : that 's what i 'm hoping . so what do you say ? paul : i say , count me out . i 'm not jumping through any more of your stupid little hoops just so you can get dusty back . emily : this plan will benefit you , too . paul : really ? how ?

beth : i hate to ruin your blissful moment here , but the first step is n't to ask for her hand . it 's to get a divorce from me , because in case you 've forgotten , i 'm still your wife . alan : well , we can take care of that . beth : this does n't make any sense ! alan - michael : but it 's no accident , you can count on that . alan : it 's very simple , beth . i 'm in love . lizzie : with her ?

alan : yes . i want to marry doris , and the first thing you do is ask for one 's hand in marriage . doris : and the second is my answer : yes , yes , yes . alan : ( laughs ) lizzie : okay , this is completely insane . lillian : do you think i should get on the phone to ravenwood ? beth : i hate to ruin your blissful moment here , but the first step is n't to ask for her hand . it 's to get a divorce from me , because in case you 've forgotten , i 'm still your wife . alan : well , we can take care of that . beth : this does n't make any sense ! alan - michael : but it 's no accident , you can count on that . alan : it 's very simple , beth . i 'm in love . lizzie : with her ? doris : beth , it 's no secret that doris and i have become very close in the last few months . so now i do n't have to keep my feelings under wrap . beth : you 're in love with her ? excuse us . you cut a deal with her , did n't you ? alan : what ? beth : oh , my god , that 's it . she was going to charge you in connection with tammy 's death , but said ... oh , my gosh , she said that she would let you off the hook , but only if you 'd agree to marry her first . that 's it , is n't it ? alan : that 's ridiculous . beth : no . what 's ridiculous is you expecting me to believe that this is real . when you ... when you spoke to me earlier today , you said that you wanted a fresh start . that was from the heart . i could see it . she 's blackmailing you , is n't she ? alan : you 've got it all wrong . beth : you 're lying . i can see it . we 're a team , remember ? remember ? just tell me the truth . alan : the truth ? you want the truth ? the truth is , beth , i told you all of those wonderful things because i knew you were going to leave me . and there 's no way i was going to be left that way . beth : but you changed my mind ! you made me want to stay , to try again . alan : right . i drew you back in so i could leave you first . doris : i 'm sure this comes as quite a shock . i 'll give you a moment . i 'm going to go make a few phone calls , spread the happy news . beth : i do n't believe this . alan : i 've been waiting for this moment ever since you humiliated me and betrayed me with rick bauer . i swore revenge then . beth : no . alan : and i vowed , beth , that i would make you feel as small and as weak as you made me feel . beth : stop this ! stop it ! lizzie : do you even hear how awful you sound ?

[ scene_break ] ridge : just how much are you supporting thomas ? eric : i told you . i want him to go ahead with this line . ridge : or not . do you really want the scandal of taboo to taint the entire image of forrester ? hmm . eric : ( scoffs ) ridge : or is there more to it -- a little payback for what happened between us all those years ago ? eric : there 's a part of me that 'll always resent what you did , ridge , i had a marriage . i had small children . brooke and i were happy . i 'll never forget that you tore that apart . ridge : dad , do you really want to get into all that right now ? eric : do you ? ridge : let 's get back to the issue . you 're the founder of this company . i have great respect for you . but i can not go along with you on expanding taboo . eric : then you 'll be making a big mistake . ridge : it 's my decision . eric : it 's the wrong decision . ridge : look , dad , i got sucked in to it at first , too -- all the sizzle , the hype , all the media attention . but most of all , the profits . eric : ( sighs ) ridge : we were riding a wave . eric : we still are , ridge . ridge : it 's not gon na last . it 's a fad . the bottom 's gon na fall out sooner or later , dad . it is not a solid foundation to build on . eric : you do n't know that , ridge . ridge : dad you made me c.e.o . because you trust my instincts . the decision is made . our focus stays on couture . that 's the business you created . that 's what forrester is about . it 's your forte , and it 's a tribute to you and your legacy . do not undermine me . eric : you 're at a crossroad with your son , ridge . you think he 's being insubordinate . i think he 's a young man that 's just trying to , uh , step out on his own , a young man who wants father 's love and support . you say you do n't think you 're punishing him . you may not think so , but believe me , that 's what he thinks . that 's what it feels like to him . i remember the day you said that you wanted to , uh ... the day you wanted to follow in my footsteps , the day you wanted to design . i remember how that made me feel . now it 's your turn . thomas wants to step out . he needs your love and your support . it 's your turn to give it to him . give him taboo for women . there 's no greater joy than to see your son succeed .Summarize.[/INST]pam jumps in the way of oliver as he tries to enter ridge 's office . she warns him that there is a big meeting like the future of taboo . brooke has a few snarky words for steffy before it starts when steffy asks should n't bill be here . brooke tells her that she wore her little skimpy outfit for nothing . and she 's watching ; do n't get in the way and interfere with katie 's marriage just because she is not living at home right now . pam advises oliver that she sent hope home . she did n't want her moping about and oliver could help with that . ridge tells the group that they have missed their chance of showing what forrester used to be about and should be focusing on now sophistication , class and elegance . the model comes in and is wearing thomas 's red dress . everyone , including ridge , is stunned when thomas says he slipped it in and it looks pretty darn good if he may say so . ridge tells brooke that this is so disrespectful and he thinks this is a big deal . eric says the design is great and is something ridge used to do years ago . ridge forges ahead and says the women 's taboo line has been cancelled , they are concentrating on couture . eric says he understands the real reason that ridge is pulling it . his son and his wife have a certain chemistry they ca n't deny . ridge seems to be trying to stifle that and it would be a big mistake . eric says as founder of this company he wo n't allow this . ridge can slash the budget but not cut the entire line . ridge says he needs to talk to his father alone . staunchly he tells eric that he can not make those kinds of decisions anymore . he pulls his old ceo card and says those decisions are his and his alone .</s> | 377 |

( both ) good morning . buzz : can i get you anything ? jeffrey : yeah , thanks . some coffee , some answers . billy : and i 'm sure all of your questions have been asked and answered . jeffrey : yeah , well , maybe we 're looking for the real answers this time . ed : next time i talk to you i 'd like my lawyer present . jeffrey : what 's all the hostility ? i just set your friend free , did n't i ? billy : well , yeah , normally i 'd be the first one to buy you breakfast , but somehow i think from the paper this morning it seems to me you 're going to pin this on somebody else ? jeffrey : you have n't talked to josh yet , have you ? billy : no . and while we 're waiting for him , why do n't you tell us how you wised up and set him free . jeffrey : well , let 's just say that josh is no longer a viable suspect . billy : exactly what does that mean ? jeffrey : that means that someone else , someone from your family , as matter of fact , came forward with a different version of the events of that night . billy : what does he want , counselor ? jeffrey : well , i think that in light of the new information , it might be in everyone 's best interest to go down to police headquarters and revisit the statements that they made and maybe make a few corrections wherever they think they might need to be made . and this time you want to make it clearer . why you lied in the first place and why you 're going to be honest now . billy : and why in god 's name would we do that ? jeffrey : well , because the person who did the actual shooting is going to find herself in even deeper trouble if you don't . buzz : why would you give us the heads up ? i mean you 're known around town as a guy who sort of plays it by the book . jeffrey : sometimes the book has to be revised . josh : i guess ... you know what ? i have to go for a while . so i 'll see you later . marina : josh , what you did for marah ... josh : yeah . josh : listen , you know what ? your grandfather would have done the same thing for you . marina : i am so sorry . keeping this from you is one of the hardest things i 've ever done . you do n't know how many times i 've wanted to run to you and tell you everything and have you help me like you always do when i 'm in trouble . shayne : do n't worry about it . i was too weak to handle it . marina : no . it 's just that it was kind of complicated and ... shayne : well , i think it was pretty easy . i think it was pretty simple . you did n't trust me . marina : i trust you more than i trust anyone . you know that . there is no way you 're going to understand this . i was so stupid , shayne . i believed her . carrie , she had these rings , one for her , one each for me , marah , michelle . she said they could grant wishes . shayne : what are you talking about ? like a fairy godmother ? and you believed her ? you 're not usually that gullible . marina : yeah , well , i held out at first . but then yeah , i guess i just needed something to believe in . she said that if we told anyone about her , she would n't come back and she 'd take the rings with her . shayne : look , marina . come on , marina , she was out of her mind . how could you not see that ? marina : because maybe i was out of my mind too . i needed some magic . i needed my wish to come true . shayne : what ? marina : what ? what ? a wish ? what wish ? marina , what wish could have been important for you to risk yourself ? to risk your life ? marina : you . i wished that you would walk again . reva : but this woman that i saw , this maryanne , it was different than the visions that i 've been seeing . cassie : what does josh think ? reva : well , you know , it 's like josh 's worst nightmare come true . he 's been spending so much time trying to escape from this ... this insanity trying to keep it from touching us that it 's all blown up in his face . and it 's out of his hands now and into jeffrey o'neill 's . cassie : jeffery o'neill . wow . well , he 's going to have a field day with this . reva : no , no , surprise , surprise . it 's because of jeffrey that marah 's even home . he 's the one who kept her name out of the headlines . he went out of his way to keep her from incriminating herself . he went to bat for her even at the risk of his own career . cassie : wow ! i guess you never know what to expect from that guy , huh ? reva : i think he has real feelings for marah . but i also think he knows not to get into them . but he 's the only one at this point who could help her . ( knock at the door ) marah : who is it ? sandy : sandy . marah . marah : hi . sandy : reva called . what the hell happened ? marah : i 'm sure she gave you all the gory details , right ? sandy : yeah . marah : good . so we do n't have to go through the motions of how are you ? how are you feeling ? what happened ? sandy : no , i hate those questions . along with people pretending to understand what you 're going through . marah : that 's interesting . i think i finally understand what ... how you felt . what you were going through when you first came to springfield , having to hold in such a huge secret , afraid of telling people the truth , afraid of how they would react . and the longer you hold in that secret ... sandy : the harder it is to actually tell the truth . yeah , i know something about that . marah : i think that 's how it was for my dad , holding in all of those memories . i thought that i was making it better , but it didn't . sandy : hey , when a lie becomes part of life you do anything to hold on to it . marah : yeah , but i did n't get that . you know , i just kept pushing him and he just kept closing off even more . sandy : i 'm sorry you had to handle this alone , marah . marah : i had marina and michelle . sandy : but not your family . marah : no . no , i ... i couldn't . i just felt myself withdrawing from them , because every time i was around them i thought that they would know that i was keeping a secret from them . sandy : yeah , you feel like everyone knows and they can see right through you . they know what a phony you are . marah : sandy , i 'm sorry . i had no idea what it was like for you when you first came to springfield . it must have felt so alone . sandy : yeah . it was tough living a lie . probably the hardest thing i 'll ever do . but it was one of my own making . and you did n't ask what happened to you , you know . and it was n't even your lie . but you were hurt more than anyone else . and that 's the part i ca n't stand . billy : you know , i 'm having a little trouble believing that you 're acting out the goodness of your heart , o'neill . i mean this sounds like a trick to me . we all go down there and we change our stories , incriminate everybody involved ... jeffrey : well , i guess you 're going to have to trust me that i 'm doing what 's best for everyone involved . buzz : is that so ? jeffrey : yeah . josh : he 's telling the truth . if we want to help marah , we have to come clean right now on everything before this thing escalates any further . jeffrey : make it clear that you 're making these new statements of your own volition when you go down there . billy : all right , i 'm in . this better not hurt that little girl in anyway whatsoever . jeffrey : well , you do n't have to worry about that . billy : and these other statements we made , they just go away ? jeffrey : just make it clear that marah lewis had no choice but to shoot caroline caruthers . oprah : i can not believe i 'm trying this on television . jeffrey : dr. bauer , any word on that tox - screen you performed on marah lewis the other night ? ed : oh , no , i 'll call you when i get the results . jeffrey : i 'd appreciate that . frank : there 's something you want to talk to me about , dad ? buzz : i 'd guess you 'd like me to explain a few things ? frank : save it . i got the basics down at the station . 30 years ago , you got a three- day pass . you came to springfield , but you decided to go a fair and have fun instead of visiting with your family . at the fair you met up with a bunch of guys , you picked up a girl , you went in a car and you went on a joyride . the girl got killed , things got complicated and you walked away . and then harley and i lost our father for half of our lives . does that pretty sum it up , dad ? buzz : i was going to leave springfield anyway , frank . i guess that does n't make it any better . frank : listen , i do n't want to talk about it right now . as matter of fact i do n't know if i ever want to talk about it . what 's going on with o'neill . why is he here ? buzz : apparently you 've been a good influence on him . he wants to help out marah anyway he can . frank : is that right ? well , so much for our remaining neutral . right , o'neill ? marah : everything just escalated . we were trying to protect our fathers , they were trying to protect us . sandy : that 's how it is with lies . they poison everything they touch and before you know it a secret can be deadly . marah : i only kept a secret for a few months and it just felt awful . i do n't even know how my dad did it for all of those years . when i first found out , i was so angry with him because i did n't understand how ... how you just put it behind you and pretend like nothing ever happened . sandy : i ... ( clears throat ) ... i do n't think it works like that . i think you carry guilt like that with you everyday . and you try to make friends with the lie . you try to make it real , believable somehow . but there 's always a voice in the back of your head saying `` you are a liar , a bad person . you should be found out and punished . `` marah : i think that 's why my dad took the blame for me because he felt like he should be punished for what he did . but i did it . and i could n't let him ... sandy : hey , you did ... you did what you had to do . and you saved your dad 's life . ( knock at the door ) reporter : marah lewis ? ( knocking continues ) sandy : what do you want ? reporter : we need a comment on her father 's release . she was seen exiting the station . did she see the other suspect ? sandy : hold on . i got this . just slip out the back . marah : sandy , it 's okay . i 'll deal with it . sandy : no , it 's okay . i 'll catch up with you later . let me handle it . marah : thank you . sandy : i 'm sandy . marah 's brother . marina : ( crying ) shayne : marina ? marina ? come on , marina , it was n't some stupid ring that made me walk again . stupid magic ring . the only magic that i had was you . you never let up even when i did . marina : i knew you could get back on your feet again . shayne : even when i try to push you away ? marina : i just pushed harder . you 're amazing . shayne : i guess we proved we 're a pretty good team . cassie : no , i just , have to stop assuming the worst about jeffrey o'neill . edmund : well , you 're just being protective of your niece , cassie . i would n't punish yourself over it . cassie : but even when he shows his good side i ca n't have faith in him . why is that ? edmund : the two of you do n't get along . i would n't overthink it . reva : edmund 's right . cassie : i think you 're right . i think that he has feelings for marah . edmund : well , if he does , then i 'm sure he 'll make this thing as easy as possible for her . cassie : he 's sticking his neck out for this family . i should call him . i should let him know that marah 's family really appreciates his efforts . edmund : cassie , don't . cassie : edmund , i just want to help marah . if getting along with jeffrey o'neill does that , then what 's the big deal ? edmund : well , you just have to be careful of these types of things . they can backfire and make nice with jeffrey o'neill , he may come back with one of his signature glib comments and the two of you will be at each other throats and that wo n't help marah . wo n't help anyone . cassie : look , i do n't think that that 's going to happen . edmund : look , i think you 've asked me to exert my good influence and that 's exactly what i 'm doing . reva : edmund 's right again , cassie , really . just let it go . edmund : if you 'd like , i can talk to jeffrey o'neill on your behalf . cassie : oh , and that 's going to work . marah : hey , there are reporters camped out on the front lawn , so i had to come in the back way . cassie : hey there . how are you doing ? marah : okay . cassie : look , if you need anything i really want you to call me , okay . marah : how about a get - out- of - jail - free card ? jeffrey : i 've used up all of mine . marah : thank you . all of you for your support . but i just ... i just want to get some rest and get settled in the pool house . cassie : all right , well , if you need anything , please call me . marah : thank you . edmund : good - night . marah : good - night . reva : edmund . a favor , please . stick by your guns . do n't let cassie anywhere near jeffrey o'neill . edmund : i 'll do my best . reva : thanks . i 'm so glad you 're back home , even it is under these circumstances . billy : how 's our girl ? josh : well , she 's a whole lot braver than i was at her age . billy : let up , josh . i mean , you did try to do the right thing . josh : i do n't think i tried hard enough . billy : now , look , i could be pretty persuasive . i was the one who talked you into ... josh : you know what , billy ? do n't do that , okay ? do n't try to let me off the hook . billy : we raised our kids to be better than us . now that 's not absolution . but it is something . josh : i just hope that she does n't end up paying the price for our sins . alexandra : well ... buzz : you know . alexandra : yeah . buzz : alan told you . alexandra : he took the blame . buzz : about 27 years too late . alexandra : oh , no , that 's wrong . everybody was at fault . alexandra : is that right ? buzz : you must be a little disappointed in me . i was walking around like i was better than alan , all the time ... alexandra : i love you both . i understand . buzz : how could you ? alexandra : i just do . well , are n't you glad you got someone like me around in a time like this ? buzz : a complicated most from a woman who knows and understands what it 's like to fall off wagon and make a mistake you 've never thought you 'd make . yeah , i 'm glad . but i would n't blame you if walked away and never looked back . alexandra : oh , god , you just do n't get it do you ? you do n't get it ? i 'm absolutely horrified of what happened . but you save your apologies for children , your grandchildren . you owe me no apology . you just let me help you . that will help me . buzz : i 'm lucky i have you . alexandra : yeah . buzz : i need a place to go . alexandra : right here . i 'm right here . i 'm right here . jeffrey : just back off , frank , okay . i know what i 'm doing . frank : that 's not what i saw . jeffrey , you 're the da ... jeffrey : yeah , which i have prosecutorial discretion , frank . frank : your first responsibility is to the law . you 're getting too involved . jeffrey : there are a lot of people involved here , are n't there ? need i remind you that your dad 's head is on the block here , also . frank : what ? you do n't think i know that ? jeffrey : well , then why are you busting my chops over this ? frank : because there 's a lot of people that we care about and that we know that are involved . and you , you put up this big act , this big front like you do n't care about anything , but you know what ? this one 's a little different . this one 's tearing you up inside , and all you want to do is you want to help out , and extend your arm and help . but you ca n't cut any corners . you know why ? because if the attorney general gets wind of you doing anything not by the book ... jeffrey : do you think i give a damn about the attorney general ? frank : well , you better give a damn about the attorney general because if you do n't follow everything by the book , i ca n't help you . jeffrey : listen to me . i am going to do what i have to do , okay ? and if anybody does n't like it -- if the attorney general does n't like it -- he can fire me . i do n't give a damn anymore . cassie : thank you so much for coming with me to reva 's . edmund : i just wish there was something i could do to help marah . cassie : you being there was help . i have to make a phone call really fast , okay ? edmund : right . cassie : i 'll see you upstairs . edmund : good . sarah ? hi . i 'd like to make a reservation for two . you know , i did n't even check to see if cassie 's available . one second . cassie : yes , i need to speak to jeffrey o'neill as soon as possible . thank you . reva : why do i feel like i 'm waiting on something ? maybe because i am . waiting on a woman who 's been dead almost 30 years . ( sighs ) come on , maryanne . tell me what it is you want me to know . ( knock at door ) somehow i knew you 'd show up here . marina : oh , marah . sorry . we were just ... marah : being happy together . i 'm glad . shayne : so , is there something else we can get you ? like some extra blankets ? maybe magazines or some food or something ? marah : no . no , i 'm fine . i 've got everything i need , thank you . shayne : all right . love you . marah : i love you . thank you . shayne : we 'll be in the house if you need us . marah : okay . josh : billy , do you remember that time we decided to take the kids up to cross creek ? i think marah was maybe five or six years old . billy : oh , yeah , yeah . josh : i was bound and determined to teach her how to fish on that trip . you remember that ? billy : right , yeah . and marah was the first lewis in history to insist on throwing the fish back . ( laughs ) josh : we went out fishing one day and that big old storm hit . billy : oh , yeah . there were hailstones real big . josh : oh . it felt like they were the size of baseballs and marah was just so scared , you know ? she 'd never seen anything like that before . and so i had her curl up small , in this tiny little ball , you know , and i just put my whole body over her to protect her . i remember these things , it felt like rocks hitting me in my back and my head . but during the whole storm all i felt was calm , because i knew that i was protecting my little girl . see , back then in that moment , i was ... i was enough to keep her safe . but i 'm not anymore , not now . i 'm not ... i 'm not enough . shayne : next , on `` guiding light . `` jeffrey : you okay ? marah : you do n't need to worry about me . i 'm fine . jeffrey : did it ever occur to you that i might not be ? reva : are you sure ? josh : yeah , i 'm sure . | marah has spent the night at reva 's house but wants to get on with her life despite the charges she could be facing . reva and josh reach a compromise with her ; she 'll live in the pool house . shayne remains quiet , upset about what 's going on . marah heads to the museum to pack her things and runs into marina . marah confesses that she was the shooter and urges marina to tell shayne . jeffrey is accosted by a reporter who wants to know about the mysterious new suspect . jeffrey , going even farther out on the limb to protect marah , threatens the reporter . he then meets with billy , ed and buzz and informs them that marah has come forward . he needs them to change their stories and tell the truth . cassie and edmund show up to support reva . when reva tells cassie how hard jeffrey is working to help marah , cassie starts to feel guilty . she wants to call jeffrey and apologize but edmund stops her , warning her that it will only result in a fight . but later , edmund sees cassie leaving a message for jeffrey . shayne finally admits to josh he 's angry that no one told him what was going on . josh says shayne helped enormously just by inspiring the whole family to fight on . marina arrives and shayne confronts her about lying to him . marina says she kept quiet because she wanted her wish that she made on carrie 's ring to come true . alex , conflicted over alan 's offer , pays buzz a visit . he admits that he almost left town when things got bad . but he 's glad he stuck it out and promises to spend more time with alex . | <s>[INST] cassie : not one word of marah 's confession . edmund : thank god . cassie : no , thank god that they let josh and reva take her home last night . i mean the thought of marah in jail . edmund : how are you holding up ? cassie : i 'm fine . you know , it 's marah to be concerned about . we have to get over to reva 's . i just got off the phone with her and we have to go ... edmund : why do n't you go without me , cassie ? cassie : what ? edmund : i have time imagining the lewises ever need to see my face . cassie : well , maybe i need you . and i think you could help , edmund . i do . edmund : how ? cassie : well , you 're no stranger to scandal . and if everything blows up , which i 'm sure is bound to happen . edmund : oh , you need a spin doctor . cassie : yeah . i need you there to hold my hand . and i also need you there to hold me back if jeffrey o'neill decides to press charges against marah . reva : marah 's still sleeping . josh : well , at least she 's catching up on her sleep . that 's a good thing . shayne . son , you 've hardly said anything since we 've told you last night . i know it 's a lot for you to take in . shayne : mom , i can handle it . it 's marah , we need to worry about now . marah : hey . there you are . good morning . reva : hi . marah : sorry it 's late . reva : oh , no , i 'm glad you 're finally getting some sleep . it 's breakfast time . and i actually picked up some of those low fat , no flavor muffins that you like . and there 's coffee . marah : thanks . but i should be getting back to the museum . josh : why do n't you stay with us for awhile ? let us take care of you . marah : dad , i 'm not a little girl . i ca n't just hide out here forever . reva : okay , if you do n't want to be a little girl in your little girl room then i have a suggestion . how about you move into the pool house ? you 'll have your privacy and we 'll be right next door in case you need us . marah : sure . sure . that sounds good . but i still want to pick up a few things before ... shayne : i 'll go with you . marah : that 's okay . i 'd just like to drive for a little while ... alone . i 'll be back soon , okay ? josh : the calm before the storm . shayne : what 's that suppose to mean ? reva : that we have to take advantage of these quiet times that we have . jeffrey o'neill 's protected marah so far , m and kept her name out of the papers . josh : he 's not going to be able to protect her forever . reporter : mr. o'neill ? jeffrey : yeah , that 's me . reporter : it 's me , amy . remember from the springfield mirror . jeffrey : hello , amy . hello , springfield mirror . yes , i remember . reporter : i wanted to ask you some questions about the shooting at the old fairgrounds . jeffrey : i already told you guys once , okay . our office is going to make a statement when we have one to make . billy : josh will be here any second . buzz : did he tell you about the release ? billy : no , i did n't bug him for details . i figured i 'd let him go home , say hi to his family , take a shower . ed : maybe o'neill bought the self defense , calling off the dogs . billy : keep dreaming , ed . somebody has to . reporter : but what about the new suspect ? why are n't you releasing the suspect 's name ? jeffrey : you ca n't hear me ? you ca n't hear what i 'm telling you ? i do n't like to repeat myself . do you like to repeat yourself ? you know , can you respect that ? i just told you something . can you respect me ? if you do n't then your newspaper might lose it 's respect at the da 's office . am i making myself clear ? reva : i am so glad you 're here . cassie : i would n't be anywhere else . i filled in edmund on what 's going on . edmund : i 'm just dropping cassie off , reva , i do n't have to stay . but if there 's anything i could do , please let me know . reva : come in , edmund , please . edmund : thank you . i was thinking , reva , if marah wants to get away from all of this , the farm is a work in progress , but it 's very peaceful there . and i 'm sure we can keep the press at bay . reva : well , i appreciate that , but marah is dead set on facing this thing head on . cassie : i wonder where she gets that from . reva : yeah , family curse . cassie : i do n't know . maybe she wants to ... are you okay ? reva : yeah , i 'm just in overdrive . my mind is racing . cassie , remember when i told you about the visions i was having of that woman ? i just realized that the woman is the same woman who died almost 30 years ago . maryanne caruthers . cassie : does seeing her help you with this ? reva : i do n't know . i 'm still trying to put all the pieces together , but she 's definitely reaching out to me . i think there 's something she 's trying to tell me about her death . shayne : why does everything got to be so hard ? everything . josh : shayne . shayne . look , son , i do n't expect you to understand . i do n't expect you to forgive me . walking away from that accident was one of the biggest mistakes i 've ever made in my life . but the fact is i did it . shayne : you really think i care about something you did a million years ago ? josh : i do n't know . i do n't know what you 're thinking right now . shayne : i 'm not judging you . i 'm not . i ... i was n't even there , all right . and it seems like you 've been beating yourself up pretty good about it . josh : it 's been a tough year for everybody . shayne : yeah , but you 've should have told me . i mean people i care about most in this world , you , marah , marina , your lives were on the line and i did n't even know about it . i could have helped . i could have done something . josh : no . you ... shayne : how could you keep me in the dark ? josh : you needed to be focused on your recovery . shayne : i ... i ... i 'm not a kid ! do n't give me that ! i 'm a member of this family ! did you ever think that helping you might have helped me ? huh ? josh : i wanted to talk to you . i really did . shayne : well , why did n't you ? josh : because i did n't want to drag you into this . i did n't want to drag you in it . not you , not marah , and not your mom . shayne : well , that 's not ... that 's not the way it worked out . you could have been killed . marah , marina , they could have been killed . marah , marina , they could have been killed . and now marah might go away to jail and there 's not a damn thing i could do about it . josh : you helped . shayne : how ! how ? josh : whether you 're aware of it or not , you helped , shayne . by walking again , by getting back on your feet again . everything that you went through . you showed us , all of us what real strength is . you showed us how tough this family can be and that we can overcome anything that 's put in our way . that 's what you showed us and that 's what we need to be focused on right now . marina : what 's going on ? they released your dad ? michelle : the paper said there was another suspect . marah ? marah : it was me . i shot carrie . marina : marah . oh , my god . michelle : okay , my dad said that ... marah : i know . he was just trying to protect me . they all were . and my dad took the blame and buzz , and billy and ed , they all just backed him up . they wanted to keep us all out of it . when i finally remembered what happened i could n't let my dad take the blame for what i did . so i told jeffrey o'neill . carrie shot buzz and she was going to go after my father too . so i grabbed the gun and if i had n't done anything she would have killed my father . and who knows maybe everybody else . michelle : oh , marah . marina : this thing with carrie started like a game . and now ... marah : i killed someone . michelle : you did what you had to do . marina : we would have done the same thing . she had a gun , she was out of her mind . michelle : so what happens now ? marah : jeffrey says that he was going to help me . michelle : good . good . that 's good . i mean they 're not going to bring charges on you . marah : i do n't know . marina : i mean it was self defense . you did n't do anything wrong . they have to see that . they could n't blame you for doing what you did . marah : i just keep saying it over and over in my head . i took a life . michelle : marah , you ca n't do this to yourself . marah : you know what ? you need to go see shayne . marina : shayne ... marah : he is at our parents house . he knows . and he seemed pretty upset . so go , you guys , both of you . i 'm fine . michelle : i 'm not leaving you here alone . marah : no , i 'm not going to be alone . i 'm going to grab a few things and then i 'm going back to my parents . michelle : then i 'll wait for you and we could go together . marah : no , it 's okay , really . i think i just , i need a few minutes to myself . nobody knows that you guys were involved . so you 're out of this . marina : yeah , right . michelle : we 're never going to be out of it . marina : we are right here by your side and we 're not going anywhere . got that ? jeffrey : good morning , boys . ( both ) good morning . buzz : can i get you anything ? jeffrey : yeah , thanks . some coffee , some answers . billy : and i 'm sure all of your questions have been asked and answered . jeffrey : yeah , well , maybe we 're looking for the real answers this time . ed : next time i talk to you i 'd like my lawyer present . jeffrey : what 's all the hostility ? i just set your friend free , did n't i ? billy : well , yeah , normally i 'd be the first one to buy you breakfast , but somehow i think from the paper this morning it seems to me you 're going to pin this on somebody else ? jeffrey : you have n't talked to josh yet , have you ? billy : no . and while we 're waiting for him , why do n't you tell us how you wised up and set him free . jeffrey : well , let 's just say that josh is no longer a viable suspect . billy : exactly what does that mean ? jeffrey : that means that someone else , someone from your family , as matter of fact , came forward with a different version of the events of that night . billy : what does he want , counselor ? jeffrey : well , i think that in light of the new information , it might be in everyone 's best interest to go down to police headquarters and revisit the statements that they made and maybe make a few corrections wherever they think they might need to be made . and this time you want to make it clearer . why you lied in the first place and why you 're going to be honest now . billy : and why in god 's name would we do that ? jeffrey : well , because the person who did the actual shooting is going to find herself in even deeper trouble if you don't . buzz : why would you give us the heads up ? i mean you 're known around town as a guy who sort of plays it by the book . jeffrey : sometimes the book has to be revised . josh : i guess ... you know what ? i have to go for a while . so i 'll see you later . marina : josh , what you did for marah ... josh : yeah . josh : listen , you know what ? your grandfather would have done the same thing for you . marina : i am so sorry . keeping this from you is one of the hardest things i 've ever done . you do n't know how many times i 've wanted to run to you and tell you everything and have you help me like you always do when i 'm in trouble . shayne : do n't worry about it . i was too weak to handle it . marina : no . it 's just that it was kind of complicated and ... shayne : well , i think it was pretty easy . i think it was pretty simple . you did n't trust me . marina : i trust you more than i trust anyone . you know that . there is no way you 're going to understand this . i was so stupid , shayne . i believed her . carrie , she had these rings , one for her , one each for me , marah , michelle . she said they could grant wishes . shayne : what are you talking about ? like a fairy godmother ? and you believed her ? you 're not usually that gullible . marina : yeah , well , i held out at first . but then yeah , i guess i just needed something to believe in . she said that if we told anyone about her , she would n't come back and she 'd take the rings with her . shayne : look , marina . come on , marina , she was out of her mind . how could you not see that ? marina : because maybe i was out of my mind too . i needed some magic . i needed my wish to come true . shayne : what ? marina : what ? what ? a wish ? what wish ? marina , what wish could have been important for you to risk yourself ? to risk your life ? marina : you . i wished that you would walk again . reva : but this woman that i saw , this maryanne , it was different than the visions that i 've been seeing . cassie : what does josh think ? reva : well , you know , it 's like josh 's worst nightmare come true . he 's been spending so much time trying to escape from this ... this insanity trying to keep it from touching us that it 's all blown up in his face . and it 's out of his hands now and into jeffrey o'neill 's . cassie : jeffery o'neill . wow . well , he 's going to have a field day with this . reva : no , no , surprise , surprise . it 's because of jeffrey that marah 's even home . he 's the one who kept her name out of the headlines . he went out of his way to keep her from incriminating herself . he went to bat for her even at the risk of his own career . cassie : wow ! i guess you never know what to expect from that guy , huh ? reva : i think he has real feelings for marah . but i also think he knows not to get into them . but he 's the only one at this point who could help her . ( knock at the door ) marah : who is it ? sandy : sandy . marah . marah : hi . sandy : reva called . what the hell happened ? marah : i 'm sure she gave you all the gory details , right ? sandy : yeah . marah : good . so we do n't have to go through the motions of how are you ? how are you feeling ? what happened ? sandy : no , i hate those questions . along with people pretending to understand what you 're going through . marah : that 's interesting . i think i finally understand what ... how you felt . what you were going through when you first came to springfield , having to hold in such a huge secret , afraid of telling people the truth , afraid of how they would react . and the longer you hold in that secret ... sandy : the harder it is to actually tell the truth . yeah , i know something about that . marah : i think that 's how it was for my dad , holding in all of those memories . i thought that i was making it better , but it didn't . sandy : hey , when a lie becomes part of life you do anything to hold on to it . marah : yeah , but i did n't get that . you know , i just kept pushing him and he just kept closing off even more . sandy : i 'm sorry you had to handle this alone , marah . marah : i had marina and michelle . sandy : but not your family . marah : no . no , i ... i couldn't . i just felt myself withdrawing from them , because every time i was around them i thought that they would know that i was keeping a secret from them . sandy : yeah , you feel like everyone knows and they can see right through you . they know what a phony you are . marah : sandy , i 'm sorry . i had no idea what it was like for you when you first came to springfield . it must have felt so alone . sandy : yeah . it was tough living a lie . probably the hardest thing i 'll ever do . but it was one of my own making . and you did n't ask what happened to you , you know . and it was n't even your lie . but you were hurt more than anyone else . and that 's the part i ca n't stand . billy : you know , i 'm having a little trouble believing that you 're acting out the goodness of your heart , o'neill . i mean this sounds like a trick to me . we all go down there and we change our stories , incriminate everybody involved ... jeffrey : well , i guess you 're going to have to trust me that i 'm doing what 's best for everyone involved . buzz : is that so ? jeffrey : yeah . josh : he 's telling the truth . if we want to help marah , we have to come clean right now on everything before this thing escalates any further . jeffrey : make it clear that you 're making these new statements of your own volition when you go down there . billy : all right , i 'm in . this better not hurt that little girl in anyway whatsoever . jeffrey : well , you do n't have to worry about that . billy : and these other statements we made , they just go away ? jeffrey : just make it clear that marah lewis had no choice but to shoot caroline caruthers . oprah : i can not believe i 'm trying this on television . jeffrey : dr. bauer , any word on that tox - screen you performed on marah lewis the other night ? ed : oh , no , i 'll call you when i get the results . jeffrey : i 'd appreciate that . frank : there 's something you want to talk to me about , dad ? buzz : i 'd guess you 'd like me to explain a few things ? frank : save it . i got the basics down at the station . 30 years ago , you got a three- day pass . you came to springfield , but you decided to go a fair and have fun instead of visiting with your family . at the fair you met up with a bunch of guys , you picked up a girl , you went in a car and you went on a joyride . the girl got killed , things got complicated and you walked away . and then harley and i lost our father for half of our lives . does that pretty sum it up , dad ? buzz : i was going to leave springfield anyway , frank . i guess that does n't make it any better . frank : listen , i do n't want to talk about it right now . as matter of fact i do n't know if i ever want to talk about it . what 's going on with o'neill . why is he here ? buzz : apparently you 've been a good influence on him . he wants to help out marah anyway he can . frank : is that right ? well , so much for our remaining neutral . right , o'neill ? marah : everything just escalated . we were trying to protect our fathers , they were trying to protect us . sandy : that 's how it is with lies . they poison everything they touch and before you know it a secret can be deadly . marah : i only kept a secret for a few months and it just felt awful . i do n't even know how my dad did it for all of those years . when i first found out , i was so angry with him because i did n't understand how ... how you just put it behind you and pretend like nothing ever happened . sandy : i ... ( clears throat ) ... i do n't think it works like that . i think you carry guilt like that with you everyday . and you try to make friends with the lie . you try to make it real , believable somehow . but there 's always a voice in the back of your head saying `` you are a liar , a bad person . you should be found out and punished . `` marah : i think that 's why my dad took the blame for me because he felt like he should be punished for what he did . but i did it . and i could n't let him ... sandy : hey , you did ... you did what you had to do . and you saved your dad 's life . ( knock at the door ) reporter : marah lewis ? ( knocking continues ) sandy : what do you want ? reporter : we need a comment on her father 's release . she was seen exiting the station . did she see the other suspect ? sandy : hold on . i got this . just slip out the back . marah : sandy , it 's okay . i 'll deal with it . sandy : no , it 's okay . i 'll catch up with you later . let me handle it . marah : thank you . sandy : i 'm sandy . marah 's brother . marina : ( crying ) shayne : marina ? marina ? come on , marina , it was n't some stupid ring that made me walk again . stupid magic ring . the only magic that i had was you . you never let up even when i did . marina : i knew you could get back on your feet again . shayne : even when i try to push you away ? marina : i just pushed harder . you 're amazing . shayne : i guess we proved we 're a pretty good team . cassie : no , i just , have to stop assuming the worst about jeffrey o'neill . edmund : well , you 're just being protective of your niece , cassie . i would n't punish yourself over it . cassie : but even when he shows his good side i ca n't have faith in him . why is that ? edmund : the two of you do n't get along . i would n't overthink it . reva : edmund 's right . cassie : i think you 're right . i think that he has feelings for marah . edmund : well , if he does , then i 'm sure he 'll make this thing as easy as possible for her . cassie : he 's sticking his neck out for this family . i should call him . i should let him know that marah 's family really appreciates his efforts . edmund : cassie , don't . cassie : edmund , i just want to help marah . if getting along with jeffrey o'neill does that , then what 's the big deal ? edmund : well , you just have to be careful of these types of things . they can backfire and make nice with jeffrey o'neill , he may come back with one of his signature glib comments and the two of you will be at each other throats and that wo n't help marah . wo n't help anyone . cassie : look , i do n't think that that 's going to happen . edmund : look , i think you 've asked me to exert my good influence and that 's exactly what i 'm doing . reva : edmund 's right again , cassie , really . just let it go . edmund : if you 'd like , i can talk to jeffrey o'neill on your behalf . cassie : oh , and that 's going to work . marah : hey , there are reporters camped out on the front lawn , so i had to come in the back way . cassie : hey there . how are you doing ? marah : okay . cassie : look , if you need anything i really want you to call me , okay . marah : how about a get - out- of - jail - free card ? jeffrey : i 've used up all of mine . marah : thank you . all of you for your support . but i just ... i just want to get some rest and get settled in the pool house . cassie : all right , well , if you need anything , please call me . marah : thank you . edmund : good - night . marah : good - night . reva : edmund . a favor , please . stick by your guns . do n't let cassie anywhere near jeffrey o'neill . edmund : i 'll do my best . reva : thanks . i 'm so glad you 're back home , even it is under these circumstances . billy : how 's our girl ? josh : well , she 's a whole lot braver than i was at her age . billy : let up , josh . i mean , you did try to do the right thing . josh : i do n't think i tried hard enough . billy : now , look , i could be pretty persuasive . i was the one who talked you into ... josh : you know what , billy ? do n't do that , okay ? do n't try to let me off the hook . billy : we raised our kids to be better than us . now that 's not absolution . but it is something . josh : i just hope that she does n't end up paying the price for our sins . alexandra : well ... buzz : you know . alexandra : yeah . buzz : alan told you . alexandra : he took the blame . buzz : about 27 years too late . alexandra : oh , no , that 's wrong . everybody was at fault . alexandra : is that right ? buzz : you must be a little disappointed in me . i was walking around like i was better than alan , all the time ... alexandra : i love you both . i understand . buzz : how could you ? alexandra : i just do . well , are n't you glad you got someone like me around in a time like this ? buzz : a complicated most from a woman who knows and understands what it 's like to fall off wagon and make a mistake you 've never thought you 'd make . yeah , i 'm glad . but i would n't blame you if walked away and never looked back . alexandra : oh , god , you just do n't get it do you ? you do n't get it ? i 'm absolutely horrified of what happened . but you save your apologies for children , your grandchildren . you owe me no apology . you just let me help you . that will help me . buzz : i 'm lucky i have you . alexandra : yeah . buzz : i need a place to go . alexandra : right here . i 'm right here . i 'm right here . jeffrey : just back off , frank , okay . i know what i 'm doing . frank : that 's not what i saw . jeffrey , you 're the da ... jeffrey : yeah , which i have prosecutorial discretion , frank . frank : your first responsibility is to the law . you 're getting too involved . jeffrey : there are a lot of people involved here , are n't there ? need i remind you that your dad 's head is on the block here , also . frank : what ? you do n't think i know that ? jeffrey : well , then why are you busting my chops over this ? frank : because there 's a lot of people that we care about and that we know that are involved . and you , you put up this big act , this big front like you do n't care about anything , but you know what ? this one 's a little different . this one 's tearing you up inside , and all you want to do is you want to help out , and extend your arm and help . but you ca n't cut any corners . you know why ? because if the attorney general gets wind of you doing anything not by the book ... jeffrey : do you think i give a damn about the attorney general ? frank : well , you better give a damn about the attorney general because if you do n't follow everything by the book , i ca n't help you . jeffrey : listen to me . i am going to do what i have to do , okay ?

maybe because i am . waiting on a woman who 's been dead almost 30 years . ( sighs ) come on , maryanne . tell me what it is you want me to know . ( knock at door ) somehow i knew you 'd show up here . marina : oh , marah . sorry . we were just ... marah : being happy together . i 'm glad . shayne : so , is there something else we can get you ? like some extra blankets ? maybe magazines or some food or something ? marah : no . no , i 'm fine . i 've got everything i need , thank you . shayne : all right . love you . marah : i love you . thank you . shayne : we 'll be in the house if you need us . marah : okay . josh : billy , do you remember that time we decided to take the kids up to cross creek ? i think marah was maybe five or six years old . billy : oh , yeah , yeah . josh : i was bound and determined to teach her how to fish on that trip . you remember that ? billy : right , yeah . and marah was the first lewis in history to insist on throwing the fish back . ( laughs ) josh : we went out fishing one day and that big old storm hit . billy : oh , yeah . there were hailstones real big . josh : oh . it felt like they were the size of baseballs and marah was just so scared , you know ? she 'd never seen anything like that before . and so i had her curl up small , in this tiny little ball , you know , and i just put my whole body over her to protect her . i remember these things , it felt like rocks hitting me in my back and my head . but during the whole storm all i felt was calm , because i knew that i was protecting my little girl . see , back then in that moment , i was ... i was enough to keep her safe . but i 'm not anymore , not now . i 'm not ... i 'm not enough . shayne : next , on `` guiding light . `` jeffrey : you okay ? marah : you do n't need to worry about me . i 'm fine . jeffrey : did it ever occur to you that i might not be ? reva : are you sure ? josh : yeah , i 'm sure .Summarize.[/INST]marah has spent the night at reva 's house but wants to get on with her life despite the charges she could be facing . reva and josh reach a compromise with her ; she 'll live in the pool house . shayne remains quiet , upset about what 's going on . marah heads to the museum to pack her things and runs into marina . marah confesses that she was the shooter and urges marina to tell shayne . jeffrey is accosted by a reporter who wants to know about the mysterious new suspect . jeffrey , going even farther out on the limb to protect marah , threatens the reporter . he then meets with billy , ed and buzz and informs them that marah has come forward . he needs them to change their stories and tell the truth . cassie and edmund show up to support reva . when reva tells cassie how hard jeffrey is working to help marah , cassie starts to feel guilty . she wants to call jeffrey and apologize but edmund stops her , warning her that it will only result in a fight . but later , edmund sees cassie leaving a message for jeffrey . shayne finally admits to josh he 's angry that no one told him what was going on . josh says shayne helped enormously just by inspiring the whole family to fight on . marina arrives and shayne confronts her about lying to him . marina says she kept quiet because she wanted her wish that she made on carrie 's ring to come true . alex , conflicted over alan 's offer , pays buzz a visit . he admits that he almost left town when things got bad . but he 's glad he stuck it out and promises to spend more time with alex .</s> | 1,190 |

sage : yeah . yes . nick : why keep that a secret ? sage : so we can both be free . nick : free to do what ? sage : have a relationship with someone we really care about . phyllis : [ gasps ] paul ! paul : i did n't mean to startle you . phyllis : i did n't even hear you . how 'd you get in ? paul : uh , mrs. martinez let me in . phyllis : well , i 'll have to talk to her about that . paul : mm - hmm . phyllis : so , what brings you by ? is this a personal visit or professional ? paul : well , i guess that depends on how you answer my questions . jack : i 'm gon na need a scorecard pretty soon to keep track of all your lies . first you want me to keep your identity secret so you can win chelsea back . now you have a girlfriend ? adam : sage is the woman i told you about . she helped me after the accident . jack : oh , helped you steal another man 's life . adam : she arranged my surgeries , nursed me back to health . she convinced constance that i was her grandson , and then she taught me everything i needed to know about being gabriel . jack : you left out the fact that you 're dating . adam : it 's a ruse to convince chelsea i 'm not some crazy , sick stalker . jack : you really think that 's gon na work ? adam : it 's already working . we had drinks with billy and chelsea last night . jack : oh , yeah . two couples just hanging out ? adam : yeah , yeah . by the end of the evening , they both felt much more comfortable around me . of course , it also helped that billy and i were able to bond over our mutual hatred of my father . jack : how convenient that gabriel also despises victor . adam : sometimes things just fall into your lap . jack : you 're playing a dangerous game , adam . adam : it 's gabriel , and it 's a game that i 'm winning . i 've already put chelsea at ease . now all i have to do is get her to fall in love with me . jack : you 're so sure you can make that happen ? adam : yeah . why would n't i be ? it happened before . it 'll happen again . jack : because she 's in love with my brother now . adam : she thinks she 's in love with your brother . when he goes back to victoria -- which he will , by the way , and we both know that -- she 'll realize that i 'm the man for her . ashley : i know that you were behind that phony raid in the lab at jabot , which means that you have at least one e.s.b . agent in your pocket . now , where is it ? victor : where 's what ? ashley : the sample of the formula that i 've been working on for over a year , and do n't tell me that you do n't have it . victor : now , did n't we go over this last time you were here ? ashley : you were playing me . victor : i was n't playing you . i was being very honest with you . i told you that i was very curious about the compound you were using to create your exotic fragrance . but i was n't very successful in finding out . ashley : so you stole it ! corporate espionage , patent infringement -- those are very serious offenses , victor . victor : i would be insulted if this were n't as absurd as it is . ashley : you know damn well that i was on the verge of creating something revolutionary . you know it damn well . victor : and , for your information , we here at newman - chancellor were developing an organic compound without the endangered tree root from the amazon region , and we were successful . here it is . ashley : that 's my fragrance . victor : well ... but this one ... is environmentally safe and , therefore , will get approval by the government very quickly . ashley : you know damn well that i was n't using any tree root from central america . you know that . victor : oh , really ? so , you were lying to me , were n't you ? in other words , the e.s.b . agents now think that the lies you spread ... are fact . not good . ashley : give me back my sample . victor : this fragrance in here was developed at newman - chancellor . tell her , victoria . tell her . victoria : dad ... ashley : victoria ... you and i both have very strong men in our lives -- men that want us to play by their rules . for you , it 's your father . for me , it 's my brother . victor : sweetheart , jack abbott may be holding ashley back , but i 've all the confidence in you . ashley : as long as you do things his way . you know jack 's the same way . i mean , i have every right to be co - c.e.o . of jabot , but he 's not gon na give me that title -- not until i prove myself ... which i 'm determined to do , just like you 're determined to prove yourself to your father because you want the power and the authority that you deserve , just like i do . we could be just as successful as these men , victoria , without compromising our integrity . all we have to do is respect each other . please just respect me and tell me the truth . victor : victoria , this is not some support group . this is business -- family business . victoria : we have been developing a new fragrance here at newman - chancellor for a while , and we plan to release it at the relaunch of brash & sassy . ashley : you deserve each other . victoria : ashley ... ashley : you made your choice , victoria . for you , this is n't over . victor : you have a nice day . ashley : screw you . [ door slams ] victor : you did the right thing , sweetheart . victoria : did you steal this from jabot ? victor : listen to me . you asked me to find a way to save the chancellor division of newman - chancellor , okay ? if what is in this vial will prove to be as successful as i think it will , there will be an enormous influx of cash , and we can save katherine 's company . victoria : at what cost , dad ? billy : do we know who called the e.s.b . on us ? abby : well , mom seemed to have a pretty good idea , the way she tore out of here . billy : any idea who she has in her sights ? abby : mnh , no . stitch : what the hell is going on ? billy : someone anonymously tipped off the e.s.b . -- said that we were using an endangered central american tree root in our new fragrance . stitch : where the hell would they get a crazy idea like that ? oh , you guys think that i 'm the one that -- [ rattle chimes ] billy : what you got there , stitch ? stitch : it 's katie 's . i ran in to victoria in the park . i did n't realize i was still holding it until after i left newman - chancellor . okay , you got me . i steal corporate secrets and toys from babies . here . why do n't you return this to katie , since , apparently , you 're the only one who can be trusted around her mother ? abby : dad just told mom that they 've been working on an organic fragrance for months . billy : [ chuckles ] yeah . of course , they have . stitch : what did you expect him to say ? billy : well , stupid me -- i thought that maybe victoria would be a positive influence on him , but , clearly , he 's got her doing his dirty work for him . stitch : vicki does n't have anything to do with this . abby : well , mom said victoria 's backing up dad 's claims . stitch : what ? ! billy : so , in all your little strolls in the park , victoria did n't happen to mention a new fragrance they 're developing , did she ? stitch : no , but i 'm damn well gon na get some answers . abby : hmm . trouble in paradise ? [ rattle chimes ] jack : you ca n't come back after all this time and expect things to stay the same . things change . people change . adam : hmm . so , are we talking about me now , or are we talking about you and phyllis ? no , no . you 're right , though . some things do change , right > i mean , who would have ever thought that phyllis and i would have something in common ? jack : at least i can help phyllis with her new life . adam : yeah ? a phyllis that listens ? well , that 's definitely new . but you two are still together , right ? so , that has n't changed . jack : neither , apparently , has your inability to accept good advice when it 's given to you . adam : jack , i want the same thing that you want . i want a life with the woman that i love -- that 's all . jack : adam newman forfeited that right . you know what ? get to the lab . help billy with this crisis if you can . i assume the two of you can work together . adam : work together ? i 'm keeping him out of prison for trying to kill me . i 'd say that 's proof that i can cooperate . would n't you ? was it something i said ? [ sighs ] get me the lab , please . chelsea : jack , i -- oh . adam : you know , you 're really gon na have to stop stalking me . chelsea : i guess i had that coming , after accusing you of crowding me . adam : nah , look , i do n't blame you at all . i tend to come on a little strong , especially when i want something . chelsea : ah ? and what is it you 're after ? adam : well , i 'm after the same thing every guy 's after . chelsea : tickets to the super bowl ? adam : obviously , yes . [ chuckles ] but , uh , that 's -- that 's not why i came by your office . chelsea : so , why did you ? adam : um , well , i wanted to show jack that i was serious about my job -- prove to him that it was n't a mistake hiring me . chelsea : and billy ? adam : yeah . um , it 's come to my attention that he 's not my biggest fan . chelsea : he 's coming around , actually . adam : yeah ? chelsea : yeah . your girlfriend has kind of brought him over to your side . and seeing you through sage 's eyes has helped me understand you better , too . adam : yeah ? chelsea : mm - hmm . adam : all right . was i really that bad , though ? chelsea : no . no , no , no . i did n't mean it like that . i just -- adam : i think i know what you meant . chelsea : [ laughs ] adam : [ chuckles ] um , sometimes a woman brings out the best in a guy , right ? change him in ways he never thought were possible ... leads him towards the good side , away from the careless , reckless , selfish things that have taken over his life . you know , you would n't think that one person could have that kind of impact on another , but when it happens ... chelsea : it 's pretty amazing . adam : pretty amazing , yeah . is n't it ? chelsea : [ clears throat ] hang on to that , you know . do n't -- do n't [ clears throat ] let it slip away . adam : uh , did i say something ? chelsea : no . i 'm s -- no . you just -- you reminded me of someone i - i knew . it 's a real gift what you have with her . do n't , uh -- do n't take it for granted . adam : i wo n't . chelsea : cool . well , um , i should get going . adam : i will , uh , see you soon . chelsea : not too soon . nick : what , you do n't want to have a drink with me ? sage : no . [ laughs ] no . i just thought that , you know ... nick : thought ... sage : that i -- nick : ... what ? sage : well , i told you i 'm in an arranged marriage , so [ chuckling ] i mean ... nick : hey , i think it 's pretty cool what you did for gabe , and i 'm not surprised . sage : what do you mean ? nick : well , you always seem to be helping people out . sage : you make me sound like i 'm a saint or something . nick : well , you took care of constance in her later years . you married gabe so he could get his inheritance . you pulled this really cool guy out of a bear trap . sage : [ laughs ] well , i was really happy to do all of those things . nick : oh , all these random acts of kindness ? sage : mm - hmm . nick : what about you ? sage : what do you mean ? nick : well , do you do anything for yourself ? victoria : ben . what are you doing back here ? stitch : do n't try to stop me , victoria . i came to speak to your dad . victoria : whoa . hold on a second . you 're upset . just talk to me . this is -- this is my company , too . stitch : ashley told us about the new breakthrough product brash & sassy 's about to put out -- the one that you supposedly have been working on for months . victoria : no , i can explain . stitch : you have n't been working on anything . that raid on our lab was a fake . it was a setup so that newman - chancellor could steal our formula ! victoria : shh . shh . okay . let 's just go somewhere where we can talk . stitch : what is there to talk about ? your dad hijacked my future . victoria : this is business . it 's not personal . stitch : this was n't just a job for me . it was a chance to start a new life for myself , for us . that 's gone now . victoria : no . it does n't have to be gone . we could still build a life together , just like the one that you talked about in the park . stitch : yeah . the one you wanted , too ?

phyllis : i lost my temper , broke a vase . very expensive tantrum . paul : [ chuckles ] so , what made you so angry ? phyllis : i could n't get people to believe me that i had nothing to do with harassing kelly andrews -- even the people closest to me . they think i just wanted to ... paul : harm her ? is that when you , uh , put the antifreeze in her tea ? phyllis : right . did you think it was gon na be that easy , paul ? paul : phyllis , i 'm just trying to figure out what happened here and why . that way i can explain to the d.a . you just were n't yourself . phyllis : well , that 's not gon na make a damn bit of difference , because the d.a . , your wife , hates me . paul : no . phyllis : yes , and i bet she 'll be very happy to pin this on me . paul : look ... she 's just trying to do her job . that 's all . phyllis : she wants me locked up . she does not care that i have already lost a year of my life . i can not spend any more time away from the people i love , okay ? paul : look , phyllis , i want to help you , but i ca n't do that when you 're not being honest with me . phyllis : [ scoffs ] i have been lied to so much since i 've been back . i do n't know who i can trust . paul : well , you can trust me , but you 're going to have to tell me the truth . you 're gon na have to tell me everything . paul : so , tell me what happened between you and kelly . phyllis : i wanted to let her know that she was n't going to get away with making me look like a jealous psychopath . paul : and did you ? phyllis : she suggested we sit down and discuss things civilly over tea . paul : and you agreed ? phyllis : reluctantly . paul : then what happened ? phyllis : then we talked -- or at least tried to . and then , at some point , kelly got up and left the table . paul : and that 's when you poisoned her tea ? jack : do n't say another word . paul : look , jack , we 're just talking . jack : really ? kind of seemed like the chief of police was trying to get a confession out of someone who did n't have an attorney present . paul : look , if she does n't talk to me , she 's going to have to -- jack : she 'll face your wife on the stand , yes , and we both know how christine feels about phyllis , but we also both know that without kelly 's testimony , without any further evidence against phyllis , you ca n't press charges . paul : we 'll see . jack . phyllis . phyllis : what is happening ? first sharon , then kelly , now christine ? it 's like they want to keep me away from you . jack : i wo n't let them . i promise . sage : i got it . i had a foot massage last week . that 's something that i did all for myself . nick : not good enough . sage : [ laughs ] nick : i 'll tell you what -- i 'm gon na get you an entire day at the spa on me . sage : you do n't have to do that . nick : well , you deserve it . sage : mm . i 'm not as selfless as you think . adam : hey . sorry to keep you waiting . mwah ! thank you for keeping my girlfriend company . i appreciate it . nick : mm - hmm . adam : whew ! nick : and just so you know , i 'm okay with the ... arrangement . adam : the arrangement ? nick : yeah . sage filled me in on everything . good old bingo . you just never change . there 's always a beautiful woman to bail you out . i just hope he knows what a lucky guy he is . see you , bingo . adam : yeah . what the hell was that ? sage : he knows . adam : he knows what ? sage : ahh . i told him we were married . adam : you did what ? billy : well , you can tell your boss that we 'll be filing an official complaint . yeah . yeah .

'cause i love you , victoria , but this -- this is n't you . you 're better than this . victoria : ben ... [ sighs ] [ door slams ] victoria : do you have any idea what you 've done ? victor : what 's the matter , sweetheart ? victoria : i just lied to the man that i love . victor : oh ? victoria : for what -- a vial of perfume ? a greater profit margin ? the chance to one - up jack ? dad , it 's not our product ! victor : you 're making what is business personal . victoria : i am sick of hearing that ! victor : okay . now let me teach you a lesson , okay ? if you want to function in the corporate world , you 'd better play by its rules . espionage is part of it , whether you like it or not ! it 's a dirty fact of business ! do you honestly think that i 've built this empire -- this damn empire -- without stepping on a few toes ? ! victoria : well , if this is how we do business , then count me out . i do n't want any part of it . billy : shocker . chelsea : my hero ! billy : well , that 's one fire out in the lab , and -- chelsea : my hero ! billy : well , there was n't an actual fire , mind you . chelsea : are you saying you did n't deserve that kiss ? billy : probably not , but i do n't want to discourage that sort of thing , so ... what are you doing here ? chelsea : i came to see jack , and i actually bumped in to gabe . billy : shocker . chelsea : he was very sweet . he was talking about sage and how much she means to him . i did n't realize how close he felt to her . billy : the closer , the better , as far as i 'm concerned . chelsea : well , i 'm not really sure she feels the same way . billy : seemed pretty chummy at dinner last night . chelsea : i thought so , too , but , um , i just saw her with nick earlier , and let 's just say she seemed even chummier with him . adam : what in the hell were you thinking , telling my brother that we were married ? sage : so , it 's okay for you to tell chelsea and billy that we 're dating but i ca n't tell nick the truth ? adam : you know exactly why i told chelsea that you were my girlfriend . sage : so she would n't think you 're a creepy stalker so you could get closer to her . adam : well , it was working . sage : not for me . adam : okay . okay . explain something to me . my brother thinking that you 're married -- how does that improve your chances with him ? sage : i told him the truth -- that i did his pal bingo a favor by marrying him so he could collect his inheritance . adam : that 's , you know , terrific . so , what happens when my sanctimonious brother goes to chelsea and tells her the truth about our marriage ? what happens then ? sage : i do n't know . maybe she 'll think that you 're a deceitful , manipulative jerk . adam : you think i do n't know what you 're doing ? you did this on purpose . you 're trying to wreck things between chelsea and me because i made it harder for you to be with nick . sage : you can think whatever you want . adam : hey , what did i tell you about crossing me , hmm ? ashley : he 's still not answering . stitch : looking for me ? ashley : yes . stitch : go ahead . ask . ashley : abby told me what you said . stitch : i had as much to lose as you did , ashley . even if i did n't , i would n't betray you -- not after you gave me a chance to start over . ashley : i know you would n't . abby : well , someone told dad the information you fed him about using endangered plants was bull . i mean , how else would he have known to use it to set up a fake bust ? ashley : you know , from the way victor was talking , it 's as if he was standing right here when i told you that the tree - root story was a lie .

sage : no , uh , but it 's , um , a marriage of convenience . nick : hmm . loveless marriages tend to strike me as being inconvenient . sage : constance willed her estate to gabriel with the provision that he be married in order to receive his inheritance . nick : okay . so , the old lady felt like gabe needed a stable influence in his life or he would blow through that money real quick . sage : constance loved gabriel , but she knew that he was , you know , reckless . nick : so , to put her mind at ease and to help your friend gabe out , you agreed to marry him ? sage : yeah . yes . nick : why keep that a secret ? sage : so we can both be free . nick : free to do what ? sage : have a relationship with someone we really care about . phyllis : [ gasps ] paul ! paul : i did n't mean to startle you . phyllis : i did n't even hear you . how 'd you get in ?

adam : sage is the woman i told you about . she helped me after the accident . jack : oh , helped you steal another man 's life . adam : she arranged my surgeries , nursed me back to health . she convinced constance that i was her grandson , and then she taught me everything i needed to know about being gabriel . jack : you left out the fact that you 're dating . adam : it 's a ruse to convince chelsea i 'm not some crazy , sick stalker . jack : you really think that 's gon na work ? adam : it 's already working . we had drinks with billy and chelsea last night . jack : oh , yeah . two couples just hanging out ? adam : yeah , yeah . by the end of the evening , they both felt much more comfortable around me . of course , it also helped that billy and i were able to bond over our mutual hatred of my father . jack : how convenient that gabriel also despises victor . adam : sometimes things just fall into your lap . jack : you 're playing a dangerous game , adam . adam : it 's gabriel , and it 's a game that i 'm winning . i 've already put chelsea at ease . now all i have to do is get her to fall in love with me . jack : you 're so sure you can make that happen ? adam : yeah . why would n't i be ? it happened before . it 'll happen again . jack : because she 's in love with my brother now . adam : she thinks she 's in love with your brother . when he goes back to victoria -- which he will , by the way , and we both know that -- she 'll realize that i 'm the man for her . ashley : i know that you were behind that phony raid in the lab at jabot , which means that you have at least one e.s.b . agent in your pocket . now , where is it ? victor : where 's what ? ashley : the sample of the formula that i 've been working on for over a year , and do n't tell me that you do n't have it . victor : now , did n't we go over this last time you were here ? ashley : you were playing me . victor : i was n't playing you . i was being very honest with you . i told you that i was very curious about the compound you were using to create your exotic fragrance . but i was n't very successful in finding out . ashley : so you stole it ! corporate espionage , patent infringement -- those are very serious offenses , victor . victor : i would be insulted if this were n't as absurd as it is . ashley : you know damn well that i was on the verge of creating something revolutionary . you know it damn well . victor : and , for your information , we here at newman - chancellor were developing an organic compound without the endangered tree root from the amazon region , and we were successful . here it is . ashley : that 's my fragrance . victor : well ... but this one ... is environmentally safe and , therefore , will get approval by the government very quickly . ashley : you know damn well that i was n't using any tree root from central america . you know that . victor : oh , really ? so , you were lying to me , were n't you ? in other words , the e.s.b . agents now think that the lies you spread ... are fact . not good . ashley : give me back my sample . victor : this fragrance in here was developed at newman - chancellor . tell her , victoria . tell her . victoria : dad ... ashley : victoria ... you and i both have very strong men in our lives -- men that want us to play by their rules . for you , it 's your father . for me , it 's my brother . victor : sweetheart , jack abbott may be holding ashley back , but i 've all the confidence in you . ashley : as long as you do things his way . you know jack 's the same way . i mean , i have every right to be co - c.e.o . of jabot , but he 's not gon na give me that title -- not until i prove myself ... which i 'm determined to do , just like you 're determined to prove yourself to your father because you want the power and the authority that you deserve , just like i do . we could be just as successful as these men , victoria , without compromising our integrity . all we have to do is respect each other . please just respect me and tell me the truth . victor : victoria , this is not some support group . this is business -- family business . victoria : we have been developing a new fragrance here at newman - chancellor for a while , and we plan to release it at the relaunch of brash & sassy . ashley : you deserve each other . victoria : ashley ... ashley : you made your choice , victoria . for you , this is n't over . victor : you have a nice day . ashley : screw you . [ door slams ] victor : you did the right thing , sweetheart . victoria : did you steal this from jabot ? victor : listen to me . you asked me to find a way to save the chancellor division of newman - chancellor , okay ? if what is in this vial will prove to be as successful as i think it will , there will be an enormous influx of cash , and we can save katherine 's company . victoria : at what cost , dad ? billy : do we know who called the e.s.b . on us ? abby : well , mom seemed to have a pretty good idea , the way she tore out of here . billy : any idea who she has in her sights ? abby : mnh , no . stitch : what the hell is going on ? billy : someone anonymously tipped off the e.s.b . -- said that we were using an endangered central american tree root in our new fragrance . stitch : where the hell would they get a crazy idea like that ? oh , you guys think that i 'm the one that -- [ rattle chimes ] billy : what you got there , stitch ? stitch : it 's katie 's . i ran in to victoria in the park . i did n't realize i was still holding it until after i left newman - chancellor . okay , you got me . i steal corporate secrets and toys from babies . here . why do n't you return this to katie , since , apparently , you 're the only one who can be trusted around her mother ? abby : dad just told mom that they 've been working on an organic fragrance for months . billy : [ chuckles ] yeah . of course , they have . stitch : what did you expect him to say ? billy : well , stupid me -- i thought that maybe victoria would be a positive influence on him , but , clearly , he 's got her doing his dirty work for him . stitch : vicki does n't have anything to do with this . abby : well , mom said victoria 's backing up dad 's claims . stitch : what ? ! billy : so , in all your little strolls in the park , victoria did n't happen to mention a new fragrance they 're developing , did she ? stitch : no , but i 'm damn well gon na get some answers . abby : hmm . trouble in paradise ? [ rattle chimes ] jack : you ca n't come back after all this time and expect things to stay the same . things change . people change . adam : hmm . so , are we talking about me now , or are we talking about you and phyllis ? no , no . you 're right , though . some things do change , right > i mean , who would have ever thought that phyllis and i would have something in common ? jack : at least i can help phyllis with her new life . adam : yeah ? a phyllis that listens ? well , that 's definitely new . but you two are still together , right ? so , that has n't changed . jack : neither , apparently , has your inability to accept good advice when it 's given to you . adam : jack , i want the same thing that you want . i want a life with the woman that i love -- that 's all . jack : adam newman forfeited that right . you know what ? get to the lab . help billy with this crisis if you can . i assume the two of you can work together . adam : work together ? i 'm keeping him out of prison for trying to kill me . i 'd say that 's proof that i can cooperate . would n't you ? was it something i said ? [ sighs ] get me the lab , please . chelsea : jack , i -- oh . adam : you know , you 're really gon na have to stop stalking me . chelsea : i guess i had that coming , after accusing you of crowding me . adam : nah , look , i do n't blame you at all . i tend to come on a little strong , especially when i want something . chelsea : ah ? and what is it you 're after ? adam : well , i 'm after the same thing every guy 's after . chelsea : tickets to the super bowl ? adam : obviously , yes . [ chuckles ] but , uh , that 's -- that 's not why i came by your office . chelsea : so , why did you ? adam : um , well , i wanted to show jack that i was serious about my job -- prove to him that it was n't a mistake hiring me . chelsea : and billy ? adam : yeah . um , it 's come to my attention that he 's not my biggest fan . chelsea : he 's coming around , actually . adam : yeah ? chelsea : yeah . your girlfriend has kind of brought him over to your side . and seeing you through sage 's eyes has helped me understand you better , too . adam : yeah ? chelsea : mm - hmm . adam : all right . was i really that bad , though ? chelsea : no . no , no , no . i did n't mean it like that . i just -- adam : i think i know what you meant . chelsea : [ laughs ] adam : [ chuckles ] um , sometimes a woman brings out the best in a guy , right ? change him in ways he never thought were possible ... leads him towards the good side , away from the careless , reckless , selfish things that have taken over his life . you know , you would n't think that one person could have that kind of impact on another , but when it happens ... chelsea : it 's pretty amazing . adam : pretty amazing , yeah . is n't it ? chelsea : [ clears throat ] hang on to that , you know . do n't -- do n't [ clears throat ] let it slip away . adam : uh , did i say something ? chelsea : no . i 'm s -- no . you just -- you reminded me of someone i - i knew . it 's a real gift what you have with her . do n't , uh -- do n't take it for granted . adam : i wo n't . chelsea : cool . well , um , i should get going . adam : i will , uh , see you soon . chelsea : not too soon . nick : what , you do n't want to have a drink with me ? sage : no .

jack : do n't say another word . paul : look , jack , we 're just talking . jack : really ? kind of seemed like the chief of police was trying to get a confession out of someone who did n't have an attorney present . paul : look , if she does n't talk to me , she 's going to have to -- jack : she 'll face your wife on the stand , yes , and we both know how christine feels about phyllis , but we also both know that without kelly 's testimony , without any further evidence against phyllis , you ca n't press charges . paul : we 'll see . jack . phyllis . phyllis : what is happening ? first sharon , then kelly , now christine ? it 's like they want to keep me away from you . jack : i wo n't let them . i promise . sage : i got it . i had a foot massage last week . that 's something that i did all for myself . nick : not good enough . sage : [ laughs ] nick : i 'll tell you what -- i 'm gon na get you an entire day at the spa on me . sage : you do n't have to do that . nick : well , you deserve it . sage : mm . i 'm not as selfless as you think . adam : hey . sorry to keep you waiting . mwah ! thank you for keeping my girlfriend company . i appreciate it . nick : mm - hmm . adam : whew ! nick : and just so you know , i 'm okay with the ... arrangement . adam : the arrangement ?

[ jason sighs ] jason : i do n't know . if you look at it , it means that you do n't trust either person to -- to make their own choices , and without trust , love does not last . for what it 's worth , if you want to love lucky again , i just -- i just think you need to find a way to trust him .

[ jason sighs ] jason : i do n't know . if you look at it , it means that you do n't trust either person to -- to make their own choices , and without trust , love does not last . for what it 's worth , if you want to love lucky again , i just -- i just think you need to find a way to trust him .

[ scene_break ] craig : i think you went into gabriel 's hospital room where you had a captive audience and you pressured him to lie to the police . lucinda : he did n't lie . craig : well , obviously he did , because i did n't attack him . lucinda : oh god , it 's just like you . it 's so like you . you commit horrific crimes , and then you blame somebody else . craig : i 'm not a murderer . lucinda : in this instance only because gabriel did n't die . craig : how did you get to him , lucinda ? was it your typical m.o . where your wallet is always willing to buy someone 's soul ? lucinda : this is so tedious . it 's really tedious . why -- why would i want ? what would i have to gain from that ? craig : the pleasure of my misery . lucinda : ah . yeah , yeah . but , why would i waste my time ? craig : i know you 're responsible for turning my son against me . lucinda : where 's the proof ? craig : well , let 's see . tom could always subpoena the hospital for their security videos . should n't take too long to find out if you spent any time alone with gabriel . lucinda : well , so what if i did ? if i were to have done it , after all , he 's part of the family . craig : yeah . the maid 's family . i wonder if lily would like to hear any of this . she 's feeling so guilty right now , there 's no way that she would lie to me . and if she 's not aware of your recent antics , i 'm sure she 'd be interested to hear about them .

[ scene_break ] jack : i 'm glad you came in . gabriel : i did n't realize i had a choice . jack : the d.a . 's bringing craig 's case in front of the grand jury in a couple days . gabriel : so ? jack : so they 're going to have questions . gabriel : okay , well , i 've already told you everything i know . jack : yeah . there 's some inconsistencies with your story , however . for example , the paper weight that you said craig hit you over the head with -- it 's actually a glass figurine , very fragile . it would have shattered on impact . can you explain why that did n't happen ? gabriel : no . i was actually out cold . jack : right . of course . yeah , the e.r . report says that , um , you suffered blunt - force trauma to the head . gabriel : yeah . jack : you told margo that you had hit your head before in your fight with parker , so there would have been two head injuries . it would have been next to impossible for craig to hit you in the same exact spot , do n't you think ? gabriel : i do n't know . jack : your stories do n't match up , gabriel . and if you perjure yourself on the witness stand under oath in front of a grand jury , you will go to jail . so i 'm giving you one last chance . tell me the truth . i know it 's hard to admit you made a mistake , but it can be rectified . you can still do the right thing . look at me . gabriel : no , i did n't make a mistake , okay ? i -- i ca n't explain the bump on my head or the angel , but -- but there has to be an explanation , because i 'm telling the truth . okay , my father tried to kill me , and he needs to be punished for it . can i go now ? jack : sure . go on .

[ applause ] [ liberty clears throat ] liberty : when i first came to this school , all i wanted to do was cut class . and i ditched a lot . i guess i wanted a little more drama in my life . but be careful what you wish for , because since then , my life has been nothing but drama . i will spare you all the gory details . most of you already know them anyway . and that 's not what matters today . the important thing is i would not be standing here if it were n't for the people who loved me and fought for me and with me and made me realize what 's really important . you did n't give up on me , even when it would have been the easier thing to do . i want to thank all of my teachers for letting me make up my work and take all my exams up to the very last minute . and i would like to thank parker snyder . i used to be nice to him just so he would do my math homework , but that all changed when i realized what an awesome guy he is . he sat by my bedside the entire time i was sick , even when it got really ugly , and he never looked away . and even yesterday , he rallied the troops to help me prepare for my exams . and no , he did n't do my math homework this time . when it comes to parker , the word `` friend `` does not even begin to cover it . and then there 's my mom -- hi , mom -- who sacrificed so much for me and taught me that no matter how hard things are , life can still be an adventure and full of fun . whenever i fell down or messed up , i always knew you 'd be there to pick me up . okay , so please do n't stop , because a high - school diploma does n't guarantee that i 'll never do anything stupid again . i 'm always , always going to need you with me . there 's , um , one person i wish with all my heart could be here today , and that 's my dad . he 's the real reason i 'm graduating . i know this sounds nuts , but um , even after he died , when i wanted to drop out , he convinced me that i needed to stay in school . and he told me that whenever i missed him , i could look up in the stars , and he 'd be there , looking back down at me . except we 're inside right now , and it 's the middle of the day . but he 's always with me . i 'm so lucky . i have an awesome family and amazing friends and an incredible future as bright as , well , the stars . thank you .

ej : so kate did n't try to sandbag me , or turn you further against me than she already has ? sami : i 'm not going to let anyone do that . when it comes to how i feel about you , or what 's going to happen with us ... i 'm going to let my heart decide . i 'm not going to listen to other people 's opinions anymore . i promise you that . deal ? ej : deal . absolutely . um , s - so ... what is it that your heart is telling you now ? about ... me ? about us ? [ phone rings ] ben : what do you want ? clyde : well , i like my coffee strong . i hear the americano you make here is -- ben : that 's the only reason you 're here ? the coffee ? clyde : you know it 's not . i 'm here to see my son . kayla : so , what do you think ? daniel : this drug , whoever cooked it up is one hell of a chemist . kate : what do you mean ? daniel : well , it is time to call brady . anne : hi . what -- what 's wrong ? theresa : he is . what is brady 's dad still doing in this hospital ? kristen : i ca n't believe this . you 're not at the hospital , really ? marlena : get out of my way . kristen : oh my goodness . that coffee must be pretty amazing to keep you away from john 's side at a time like this . marlena : well , there you are , babbling again . kristen : [ scoffs ] you do n't know . my father sent the drug that 's going to bring john back to the land of the living . kayla and daniel have it right now , marlena . are n't you going to thank me ? come on , come on . will : do you know who that is ? that 's your aunt sydney at camp . it 's kind of hard to tell she 's -- she 's dressed like a pirate , but you know it 's her because your uncle johnny is standing beside her putting devil horns behind her head so that she ca n't see . big brothers like to do stuff like that . they think it makes them cool . we should send them a package . maybe some cookies , pictures of you . trouble is , i do n't have their address . but i think i know where we can get it . and maybe kill two birds with one stone . how about you and i go for a walk ? how does that sound ? ej : look , i - i know that we have a long way to go , you know . but you 've told me you want something from me , and that 's a big improvement on a blanket dismissal . sami : [ chuckles ] ej : and i promise you , i will do everything in my power to derail any plan my father may have to get even with you . sami : thank you . i mean , you know , it 's been hard to sleep knowing what stefano has in mind for kate and -- and for me , and so we -- we should both be so grateful to have you on our side . ej : samantha , i do n't really think kate cares much about me . i certainly could care less about her . but i am here for you . always . sami : thanks . ej : i made a terrible mistake , and i will regret it for the rest of my life . but my heart has been yours from the first moment that i saw you , and it always will be . theresa : you told me that john was being transferred to some long - term care facility . anne : and he is , but the paperwork between the facility and the insurance company has n't been completed yet . but once it is , he 's out of here . theresa : okay , thank god . i just -- i want him gone . anne : okay , come here . come on . what happened to the girl who 's always got it all together ? theresa : well , she still does , okay ? anne : i can see that . theresa : you try having some wingnut like kristen dimera make threats to you . your curls would straighten . anne : are you -- are you really that scared ? theresa : i wo n't be . i plan on using kristen 's threats to make brady come back to me . anne : okay , well have you started ? theresa : well , i ca n't , anne . he wo n't leave his father 's bedside . anne : [ chuckles ] why -- why ? john black does n't know brady 's standing there . that guy 's an eggplant now . theresa : brady 's guilty . he thinks that he did this to his father . thinks he made him this way . anne : he -- he did , he did make him this way , did n't he ? theresa : yes , of course he did . but , anne , it 's just that every time brady looks at me , he thinks ... i mean , he remembers that awful night , and ... i just -- i need to figure out a way to play the kristen card or it 's going to lose it 's punch . anne : i got you . well , there 's no time like the present . put on your concerned face . theresa : okay . hey . how is he ? brady : it 's not a good time right now . theresa : look , brady , i 'm really sorry , but ... there 's just something i have to tell you . and i -- i 'm -- i 'm really sorry . i - i know this is n't a good time , but ... i - i do n't really have a choice . kristen : so daniel and kayla did n't keep you in the loop ? oh , i guess they do n't have to , right ? 'cause brady has all the decision - making , right ? now that you and john are splitsville . well , i guess they would have filled you in eventually . marlena : maybe ... there 's another explanation . maybe ... i have n't heard from daniel or kayla because they do n't want to use your drug . and , of course , if they do n't give the drug to john , there 's no reason that eric ca n't testify against you . and if he does , you 're going to prison . so i guess we 're both on pins and needles , hmm ? ej : samantha ... [ phone rings ] ej : sorry , sorry . should check this quickly . i -- i 'm sorry , but i really have to go . sami : yeah , no , of course . of course you do . you should go to work . ej : look , i know that we 've -- we 've talked about a lot , and you have a lot to think about . all i asked for was one chance to win you back , and i meant that . sami : [ chuckles ] [ sighs ] ej : i promise you , i wo n't rush you , or push you , not that i could . sami : right . appreciate that . ej : oh , something else you really need to remember . my father has one fatal flaw when it comes to his enemies . he thinks they 're stupid . he 's always underestimated you , and you have made him pay for it . if anybody can beat stefano dimera at his own game , it 's you . sami : oh god , i hope you 're right , ej . ben : there . you have your coffee , you 've seen me . so i guess your business here is done . clyde : oh listen , son , come on , i kept my word . stayed away from your girlfriend , gave you plenty of time to think about my offer . hell ... [ chuckles ] i 'm even calling you ben . ben : so , what ? i 'm just supposed to think that you 've changed ? clyde : i 'd like to think so , yeah . ben : [ scoffs ] does n't matter what i think . jordan does n't want you here . clyde : so she gets to make the decision ? ben : after what she did for me , yeah , she does . clyde : after what she did for you ? she stole you away from your own daddy . ben : [ scoffs ] look , i know that 's how you see it , but i see it differently . and in my book , she saved me from you . theresa : please , brady . this is important . brady : all right , i have a couple of minutes . theresa : thank you . anne : oh , anne . kristen : oh , marlena , marlena , marlena . daniel and kayla would be pretty stupid if they did n't give john the drug , i mean , really . marlena : why is that ? because you said it works ? kristen : no , because a whole bunch of really smart research doctors on my father 's payroll say it will . marlena : you better hope this drug works . because if it does n't , eric will change his mind , and then he would help bury you . kristen : i do n't think he 's going to do that . eric 's a man of his word . unlike you , who 's a hypocritical liar . marlena : oh , wait , wait , who 's the liar here ? kristen : you are . let me think . john wanted to be with me . we were actually really happy together . you said you were going to back off , but you did n't mean a word of that , did you ? [ forced laughter ] marlena : that was years ago . i think you got me back for that . kristen : how about something a little bit more recent ? brady wanted to be with me . we were happy together , and you ruined that too . you know what 's funny ? i think you 're the destructive one in this relationship . marlena : you know what 's funny ? i think you really believe that . kristen : you do n't have any power over me any more , marlena . i have the upper- hand , because i can give brady back the one thing you threw away like a lousy piece of trash , and that 's his father . and there 's nothing you can do to change that . ha - ha . theresa : hey , so you still take cream and sugar ? brady : no , i do n't -- i do n't want any coffee . just tell me what -- what is it you had to tell me ? theresa : okay , i will . look , it 's -- [ phone rings ] brady : sorry . i got to take this . hey . daniel : hey , can you come over to my place ? brady : when ? daniel : now . i would n't ask you to drop everything if it was n't important . brady : okay . daniel : and do n't tell anyone you 're meeting with me . brady : why not ? daniel : i 'll explain it when you get here . brady : i 'm on my way . theresa : where are you going ? what 's going on ? [ doorbell rings ] sami : harold ! never mind . what are you doing here ? will : i wanted to send some cookies to johnny , allie , and sydney at camp , and , well , i did n't have the address . sami : camp 's almost over . will : i 'll overnight them . they can have them for the ride home . sami : that 's very thoughtful of you , will . you could have just texted me , i would have sent you the address . will : arianna misses you . sami : oh , give me a break . now you are ... pulling out the heavy artillery . will : yeah . is it working ? clyde : i know what i put you through . ben : hmph . must be killing you to have to say that . clyde : i mean it . ben : now you ca n't just whip off your belt and wrap it around your fist the way you used to whenever i 'd say something that you did n't want to hear . 'cause now i 'm old enough , and i 'm big enough to knock you straight on your ass . clyde : you know , jordan did n't just save you from me back then . she saved me from myself . if she had n't left with you -- ben : yeah , one of us might be dead . clyde : i know i needed that wake - up call . and i listened to it . ben : what else are you going to say ? clyde : well , there 's your girl . i 'll let you two have some fun . i hope you and i can talk again real soon . ben : so does that mean you 're sticking around ? clyde : well , like i said , i like it here in salem . met some real fine people , but bottom line is ... my kids are here . ben : [ breathes deeply ] abigail : you okay ? ben : i am now . i 'm off work , and you 're here . abigail : okay . [ chuckles ] what do you want to do ? ben : just be with you . abigail : i like that plan . ben : mwah ! brady : it 's -- it 's the company . it 's a business thing , some kind of crisis . i have to go back to the house and deal with it . theresa : yeah , but i thought that we were gon na talk about -- brady : i 'm sorry , you wan na -- there 's something you had to tell me . what was it ? theresa : it -- it 'll keep . just go do whatever you have to do , and i -- i 'll see you later . brady : okay , thank you for understanding . theresa : sure . [ exhales ] damn it . daniel : i have been reading up on drugs similar to this , but i -- kayla : none of them have the same lab results as this one does . daniel : we 're not just talking about lab tests , we are talking about brady 's father . i mean , we 're not even sure that this will work . kayla : i think that we 're at the point where we should do anything for john . you know , even if this drug does n't work , for me , it 's better than doing nothing . daniel : yeah , but why did we have to get it from kristen ? kayla : by way of stefano , no less . i 've been thinking the same thing . daniel : well , whether it works or not , we 're giving her another chance to mess with brady . and maybe this time ... she 'll destroy him . kristen : no , wait a minute . what 's the matter ? do n't you feel well ? where 's the snappy comeback ? marlena : you had your father develop an experimental drug to help john just to get one up on me . now , come on , what is that ? kristen : you know what , do whatever you want . do n't give him the drug . why do n't you just ship him off to some very sad facility and watch him die slowly , one inch at a time ? marlena : you know , if you 're involving brady in this in some vain hope of getting him back , if you 're getting his hopes up for no reason , there will be hell to pay . kristen : oh , i 'm scared , scared . why has n't daniel told her ? i know i gave him everything he needed . [ exhales ] god , maybe brady does n't even know . okay , look , this drug has to work . just hold on , kristen , this drug is going to work . that bastard better not double - cross me . [ gasps ] brady : hey , what was that phone call about ? it was so mysterious , you -- you 're in on this too ? kayla : yeah . brady : this is about my dad , is n't it ? daniel : yeah , it is big news . ben : this is n't really much of a dinner , but -- abigail : no , it 's fine . it 's great . ben : i wanted to take you to that new sushi spot near the pier , but -- abigail : but then you saw your father and you were n't in the mood anymore , right ? ben : when i did n't hear from him for a few days , i was hoping he kind of just left town . abigail : are you worried that he 's never going to leave ? ben : he keeps saying he likes it here . he likes the people . but he keeps trying to get me to believe that he 's not the same guy he was when i was a kid . abigail : but you do n't believe him ? ben : no , he knows how to turn on the charm when he wants something . but he 'll never change . not really . abigail : you know , my father was n't perfect either . in fact , he was far from it and -- ben : abigail , my father is nothing like yours . if you saw the way he was -- abigail : how was he , ben ? what did he do to you ? ben : i 'm not even going to get into it . i wanted this night just to be special for us . abigail : and it still can be . anne : so , i guess things did n't go well with brady ? theresa : they did n't go at all . anne : well , what happened ? theresa : well , i was gearing up to tell him that his crazy ex - girlfriend was threatening to throw me in the river , and then he got a phone call , and just took off . anne : oh , why ? theresa : i do n't know . he said it was work , i mean , at least that 's what he said . anne : okay , so is she really going to throw you in the river ? theresa : she just wants me out of the way . anne : well , then maybe you should get out of the way . i mean , if she 's so scary . look , there 's no guarantee that brady 's just going to get all protective , and come running back to you . theresa : but it 's a shot , anne , and let 's be honest , my window of opportunity is kind of closing here . anne : okay . theresa : [ exhales ] god . anne : i mean look , maybe they 'll transfer his father soon . theresa : no , 'cause then brady 'll be all worked up and i 'll feel guilty about that . i - i - i , oh god , i do n't know what to do . i do n't -- i do n't know . anne : well , you know , you may have better luck if you asked brady for his protection in a cozy , say less fluorescent , environment , if you know what i mean . anne : oh , my god . you 're a genius . ej : hmm , first marlena and now you . i better get out of this place before i run into jack the ripper . ej : well , i 'm sure you could handle jack the ripper . tell you what , you enjoy the fresh air and the freedom while you can , hmm ? kristen : look who 's talking . are n't you being indicted for cooking the books or something , ej ? ej : it 's a white - collar crime . it 's really small potatoes compared to drugging and raping a priest . kristen : and we could 've helped each other until you went over to the other side . ej : my wife 's side . kristen : no , your estranged wife 's side . i mean , jennifer 's daughter , chad 's girlfriend , really ? ej : i really do n't see any point in talking to you about this . kristen : well , neither do i. i find your domestic situation entirely too boring . ej : wonderful , then why do n't we just go our separate ways ? kristen : okay , you know what though , eej ? i just have to share this with you ; father 's been so incredibly helpful . i mean , really , he 's been very supportive , and i think things are looking up for me . ej : yeah ? [ laughs ] kristen : mm - hmm . i really do . ej : do n't make me laugh . kristen : i would n't dream of it . ej : why ? what have you done ? brady : what is all this ? daniel : it 's information on an experimental drug , one that 's not even on the market . kayla : that 's why we did n't tell you about it . daniel : and we think it may be able to bring your father out of his coma . brady : the -- all the top specialists that you brought in , how come they did n't say anything about this drug ? daniel : because they did n't know about it . brady : the top guys in the field did n't know this drug existed ? and you want to use this on my dad ? daniel : yes , yes . the drug reacts on nerve cells in the lower part of the brain , the brain stem . kayla : and these nerve cells are responsible for maintaining a waking state . daniel : they rely on neurotransmitters like neoepinephrine and dopamine to turn on cell groups in the upper part of the brain . kayla : we 're really excited about this drug 's potential . daniel : and we really do n't see a down side . the only thing , the worst thing , that could actually happen is nothing . kayla : and john stays just like he is . daniel : so we need your permission to do this . brady : when ? daniel : as soon as possible . brady : this could bring him back ? kayla : yes . brady : why did n't you tell me -- why did n't you tell me about this before ? kayla : we did n't want to get your hopes up until we had checked it out . brady : and did you ? kayla : yes . i want to do it . let 's do it . daniel : okay , well , hold on . there 's something else you need to know . the person who brought us this drug ... it 's kristen . sami : you know when your daddy was little , i would give him these plums , i think it was , just a spoonful . and then he would blow this big raspberry , and all the plums would end up all over me , and he would have this big grin on his face . it was so funny to him . but that was a long time ago . i 'll get you that address you need . theresa : anne , brady getting that phone call , it was a good thing because now i can tell him that i need to meet him somewhere private . anne : yeah , like under a quilt with a roaring fireplace . theresa : and he can hold me tight and tell me that everything 's going to be fine . anne : and then one thing could lead to another and -- theresa : and luckily i know exactly where that place is . anne : ahh . kristen : i thought you were so eager to get away from me . ej : my relationship with you is what came between me and samantha . so if you can my father are cooking anything up that involves her in any way -- kristen : you have got to be kidding me ! she set you up . she had you arrested . she and kate took the company away from you and father . and you 're worried what she 's going to think about what i 'll do ? ej : yes . kristen : see , team of wild horses , dessert cream , mashed potatoes , ej dimera -- ej : what are you doing ? kristen : thinking up of a list of things that are whipped . when are you going to stop letting sami do your thinking for you ? ej : that 's not how it works . kristen : really ? she allowed you to make me your enemy , and that was not smart . ej : [ chuckles ] i 'm shaking in my boots . kristen : you should be . [ exhales ] really ? i have n't heard anything from brady , not even a text . i have to know what 's going on , i do n't care what happens . brady : kristen gave you this drug ? daniel : mm - hmm . brady : how did that happen ? daniel : well , remember when i found her in your dad 's room ? i think she got some information on his chart , and -- [ knocking ] daniel : okay , whoever that is , you came here for an update on your dad 's condition . marlena : i saw kristen . she said you have the drug she wants for john . daniel : yeah , come on in . come on in . marlena : oh , you told brady . brady : i 'm still trying to wrap my head around all of this , but ... they 're telling me that this drug may help him . marlena : really ? are you sure ? kayla : daniel and i did research on the drug 's properties . daniel : and an analysis on it 's active ingredients . there is nothing that could harm john . marlena : so it 's legitimate ? there 's -- it 's not a placebo ? kayla : mm - hmm , it could be the one thing that brings him back . marlena : are you going to do it ? brady : yeah , i 'm going to do it . daniel : in spite of the fact that kristen made this happen ? brady : i want to help my dad . i do n't care where it came from . and you 're telling me this could -- could work . daniel : yes . brady : then what are we standing here for ? let 's get down to the hospital and do this . daniel : let 's go . this is a pip . ben : i just wish things were less complicated for both of us . abigail : yeah . you know , since we ca n't control what goes on around us , maybe -- maybe we should keep things between us , you know , uncomplicated . ben : really ? uh , how uncomplicated ? abigail : oh , no , i did n't mean completely uncomplicated . ben : oh . [ chuckles ] well , good , because the two of us , that 's one complication i 've kind of been looking forward to . abigail : oh , yeah ? ben : mm - hmm . sami : so i sent it to you , the address . did you get it ? [ phone chirps ] will : i got it , thanks . sami : great . anything else ? will : yeah . arianna 's not the only one who misses you . sami : [ chuckles ] i guess i just do n't understand , will , how could you miss someone who could do such horrible things that you had to write an article about it ? will : i do n't miss her . i miss the woman that i wrote about in the beginning of the article . you remember , i was in first grade . and i came home from school , and i told you about this big kid that punched me on the bus . the very next morning , you got on the bus with me , and you told that kid that if he ever messed with me again , he 'd have to deal with you . sami : [ laughs ] will : i miss her . sami : well , i 'm that woman too . but i 'm also a woman who was very deeply wounded by the man that she wants to spend the rest of her life with . and when someone hurts me , or the people i love , i hurt them back . and i 'm willing to pay that price . i 'm not a perfect person . i 'm not a perfect mother . and i understand that if this was fiction , i would n't be the heroine . but you do n't get to pick which parts of me you accept . you know , that 's not love , and that 's not what real family is all about . you do n't have to agree with everything , or like all the decisions that i make , but ... if you accept me , then you got ta take all of me . and if you do n't , then -- then that 's your choice , but then you decide to walk away , and you -- and you get nothing . clyde : well , mr. dimera . ej : pat him down . clyde : hey , wait a second . ej : let 's go . clyde : all right , hold on . mr. dimera , i - i get it . i 'm sorry . daniel : well , we 're all set up . i 'll be giving your dad the injection in -- in a few minutes . brady : thanks . okay , i think i 've -- i think i signed everything . kayla : all right , great . i 'll make sure this gets in your dad 's records , and you have his medical proxy , right ? brady : yes , and the hospital has a copy . kayla : perfect . anne : oh , hi . where have you been all morning ? kayla : why do you need to know ? anne : well , i 'm just trying to find out when john black is going to be transferred . kayla : well , you 're head of human resources , so i do n't think that mr. black 's treatment is any of your business . excuse me , thank you . anne : hmm . [ phone rings ] brady : this has to be really hard for you . marlena : my only concern ... our only concern ... is your father 's life . now , let 's hope . brady : yeah . and i - i do believe that kristen 's doing this for me . and as much as i despise her now ... i ca n't hate her for that . theresa : thanks . henderson : i did n't see mr. black come in . i do n't think he 's here . theresa : oh , well he told me that he was coming here . henderson : then perhaps i 'm wrong . theresa : perhaps you are . henderson : if i find him , i 'll tell him you 're waiting for him . theresa : you do that . okay . [ exhales ] brady , i - i do n't really know how to tell you this , but ... it 's about kristen . well , she knows we have this ... relationship , and she said some really frightening things to me . um ... look , i - i did n't really want to bother you with this because you 're so worried about your dad , but it 's just that she really scares me . and i - i - i hear a noise in my apartment , and i think that she 's broken in , and i - i ca n't sleep , or eat , or -- [ door opens ] both : what are you doing here ? how you doing in there , baby girl ? [ phone rings ] abigail : [ chuckles ] do you have to get that ? ben : it could be my sister . abigail : oh , yeah . ben : yeah ? he did ? no , no , it 's not a problem . i 'll head over there now . all right . abigail : was it jordan ? ben : nope . the night shift manager at the club called in sick . sonny needs somebody to cover and lock up . abigail : [ laughs ] ben : you know , i could have asked them to find somebody else , but he 's been so great -- abigail : no , no , no , ben , i - i totally get it . it 's fine . ben : are you sure ? abigail : yes , i 'm sure . you are a responsible guy , and that is what i like about you . ben : [ chuckles ] i promise you i will call you the minute i am done there . abigail : okay . ben : the minute . will : i get what you say . about how you 're a package deal . but you need to remember something , mom . i 'm not a little boy anymore . i 'm a grown man with a child of my own . and maybe i was out of line to write that article , but you ca n't expect me to like everything that you do . sami : [ exhales deeply ] will : i 'm my mother 's son . and what you see is not always what you get . well , we should get going . we have some cookies to send . sami : does that mean i have to let go ? okay . i love you so much , sweetheart . i do , i just -- just ca n't take it . thank you for bringing her over . of course . thank you for the information . okay , just the very last second , okay ? [ laughs ] will : here we go . sami : oh , okay , okay . will : hi . hi . sami : bye . will : bye . sami : [ exhales ] will : well , that was n't so bad , was it ? i mean , it could have been a lot worse . sami : [ sniffs ] miguel : he 's clean . ej : make sure we 're not disturbed . you 've been pursuing me rather aggressively , mr. weston . clyde : that 's the way i do business . ej : and why should i do business with you ? why should i trust you ? in fact , can you give me one good reason why i should let you live ? daniel : well , i 'm all set up to give him the injection now . [ monitor beeping ] brady : come on , dad . this has to work . theresa : [ scoffs ] well , not that it 's any of your business , but i came here to talk to brady about you , and he is n't going to like the things that you said to me . kristen : he 'll get over it . theresa : he 's not going to get over you barging into his house , and neither will victor . kristen : i think they both will . i 'm here to deliver some amazing news . theresa : oh , really , amazing news from you , really , huh ? kate : yeah , actually from me . i found a drug treatment for john . he 's going to come out of a coma , he 's going to make a complete recovery . theresa : [ gasps ] [ glass shatters ] | theresa told anne that she planned on using kristen 's threats against her to get brady back . kristen ran into marlena and they argued over whether daniel and kayla used the drug that she told them would save john . ej reminded sami that he only wanted one chance to prove himself to her . ej believed that she could beat stefano . theresa wanted to talk to brady . kristen knew that kayla and daniel would use the drug for john . kristen and marlena continued to argue over john and brady . daniel interrupted brady 's conversation with theresa because he wanted to see him . will went to see sami . he wanted to try to make things right with her . theresa decided not to tell brady about kristen when daniel called him . marlena warned kristen that she would pay if she 's just getting brady 's hopes up about the drug that 's going to save john . after marlena walked off , kristen ran into ej . | <s>[INST] ej : so kate did n't try to sandbag me , or turn you further against me than she already has ? sami : i 'm not going to let anyone do that . when it comes to how i feel about you , or what 's going to happen with us ... i 'm going to let my heart decide . i 'm not going to listen to other people 's opinions anymore . i promise you that . deal ? ej : deal . absolutely . um , s - so ... what is it that your heart is telling you now ? about ... me ? about us ? [ phone rings ] ben : what do you want ? clyde : well , i like my coffee strong . i hear the americano you make here is -- ben : that 's the only reason you 're here ? the coffee ? clyde : you know it 's not . i 'm here to see my son . kayla : so , what do you think ? daniel : this drug , whoever cooked it up is one hell of a chemist . kate : what do you mean ? daniel : well , it is time to call brady . anne : hi . what -- what 's wrong ? theresa : he is . what is brady 's dad still doing in this hospital ? kristen : i ca n't believe this . you 're not at the hospital , really ? marlena : get out of my way . kristen : oh my goodness . that coffee must be pretty amazing to keep you away from john 's side at a time like this . marlena : well , there you are , babbling again . kristen : [ scoffs ] you do n't know . my father sent the drug that 's going to bring john back to the land of the living . kayla and daniel have it right now , marlena . are n't you going to thank me ? come on , come on . will : do you know who that is ? that 's your aunt sydney at camp . it 's kind of hard to tell she 's -- she 's dressed like a pirate , but you know it 's her because your uncle johnny is standing beside her putting devil horns behind her head so that she ca n't see . big brothers like to do stuff like that . they think it makes them cool . we should send them a package . maybe some cookies , pictures of you . trouble is , i do n't have their address . but i think i know where we can get it . and maybe kill two birds with one stone . how about you and i go for a walk ? how does that sound ? ej : look , i - i know that we have a long way to go , you know . but you 've told me you want something from me , and that 's a big improvement on a blanket dismissal . sami : [ chuckles ] ej : and i promise you , i will do everything in my power to derail any plan my father may have to get even with you . sami : thank you . i mean , you know , it 's been hard to sleep knowing what stefano has in mind for kate and -- and for me , and so we -- we should both be so grateful to have you on our side . ej : samantha , i do n't really think kate cares much about me . i certainly could care less about her . but i am here for you . always . sami : thanks . ej : i made a terrible mistake , and i will regret it for the rest of my life . but my heart has been yours from the first moment that i saw you , and it always will be . theresa : you told me that john was being transferred to some long - term care facility . anne : and he is , but the paperwork between the facility and the insurance company has n't been completed yet . but once it is , he 's out of here . theresa : okay , thank god . i just -- i want him gone . anne : okay , come here . come on . what happened to the girl who 's always got it all together ? theresa : well , she still does , okay ? anne : i can see that . theresa : you try having some wingnut like kristen dimera make threats to you . your curls would straighten . anne : are you -- are you really that scared ? theresa : i wo n't be . i plan on using kristen 's threats to make brady come back to me . anne : okay , well have you started ? theresa : well , i ca n't , anne . he wo n't leave his father 's bedside . anne : [ chuckles ] why -- why ? john black does n't know brady 's standing there . that guy 's an eggplant now . theresa : brady 's guilty . he thinks that he did this to his father . thinks he made him this way . anne : he -- he did , he did make him this way , did n't he ? theresa : yes , of course he did . but , anne , it 's just that every time brady looks at me , he thinks ... i mean , he remembers that awful night , and ... i just -- i need to figure out a way to play the kristen card or it 's going to lose it 's punch . anne : i got you . well , there 's no time like the present . put on your concerned face . theresa : okay . hey . how is he ? brady : it 's not a good time right now . theresa : look , brady , i 'm really sorry , but ... there 's just something i have to tell you . and i -- i 'm -- i 'm really sorry . i - i know this is n't a good time , but ... i - i do n't really have a choice . kristen : so daniel and kayla did n't keep you in the loop ? oh , i guess they do n't have to , right ? 'cause brady has all the decision - making , right ? now that you and john are splitsville . well , i guess they would have filled you in eventually . marlena : maybe ... there 's another explanation . maybe ... i have n't heard from daniel or kayla because they do n't want to use your drug . and , of course , if they do n't give the drug to john , there 's no reason that eric ca n't testify against you . and if he does , you 're going to prison . so i guess we 're both on pins and needles , hmm ? ej : samantha ... [ phone rings ] ej : sorry , sorry . should check this quickly . i -- i 'm sorry , but i really have to go . sami : yeah , no , of course . of course you do . you should go to work . ej : look , i know that we 've -- we 've talked about a lot , and you have a lot to think about . all i asked for was one chance to win you back , and i meant that . sami : [ chuckles ] [ sighs ] ej : i promise you , i wo n't rush you , or push you , not that i could . sami : right . appreciate that . ej : oh , something else you really need to remember . my father has one fatal flaw when it comes to his enemies . he thinks they 're stupid . he 's always underestimated you , and you have made him pay for it . if anybody can beat stefano dimera at his own game , it 's you . sami : oh god , i hope you 're right , ej . ben : there . you have your coffee , you 've seen me . so i guess your business here is done . clyde : oh listen , son , come on , i kept my word . stayed away from your girlfriend , gave you plenty of time to think about my offer . hell ... [ chuckles ] i 'm even calling you ben . ben : so , what ? i 'm just supposed to think that you 've changed ? clyde : i 'd like to think so , yeah . ben : [ scoffs ] does n't matter what i think . jordan does n't want you here . clyde : so she gets to make the decision ? ben : after what she did for me , yeah , she does . clyde : after what she did for you ? she stole you away from your own daddy . ben : [ scoffs ] look , i know that 's how you see it , but i see it differently . and in my book , she saved me from you . theresa : please , brady . this is important . brady : all right , i have a couple of minutes . theresa : thank you . anne : oh , anne . kristen : oh , marlena , marlena , marlena . daniel and kayla would be pretty stupid if they did n't give john the drug , i mean , really . marlena : why is that ? because you said it works ? kristen : no , because a whole bunch of really smart research doctors on my father 's payroll say it will . marlena : you better hope this drug works . because if it does n't , eric will change his mind , and then he would help bury you . kristen : i do n't think he 's going to do that . eric 's a man of his word . unlike you , who 's a hypocritical liar . marlena : oh , wait , wait , who 's the liar here ? kristen : you are . let me think . john wanted to be with me . we were actually really happy together . you said you were going to back off , but you did n't mean a word of that , did you ? [ forced laughter ] marlena : that was years ago . i think you got me back for that . kristen : how about something a little bit more recent ? brady wanted to be with me . we were happy together , and you ruined that too . you know what 's funny ? i think you 're the destructive one in this relationship . marlena : you know what 's funny ? i think you really believe that . kristen : you do n't have any power over me any more , marlena . i have the upper- hand , because i can give brady back the one thing you threw away like a lousy piece of trash , and that 's his father . and there 's nothing you can do to change that . ha - ha . theresa : hey , so you still take cream and sugar ? brady : no , i do n't -- i do n't want any coffee . just tell me what -- what is it you had to tell me ? theresa : okay , i will . look , it 's -- [ phone rings ] brady : sorry . i got to take this . hey . daniel : hey , can you come over to my place ? brady : when ? daniel : now . i would n't ask you to drop everything if it was n't important . brady : okay . daniel : and do n't tell anyone you 're meeting with me . brady : why not ? daniel : i 'll explain it when you get here . brady : i 'm on my way . theresa : where are you going ? what 's going on ? [ doorbell rings ] sami : harold ! never mind . what are you doing here ? will : i wanted to send some cookies to johnny , allie , and sydney at camp , and , well , i did n't have the address . sami : camp 's almost over . will : i 'll overnight them . they can have them for the ride home . sami : that 's very thoughtful of you , will . you could have just texted me , i would have sent you the address . will : arianna misses you . sami : oh , give me a break . now you are ... pulling out the heavy artillery . will : yeah . is it working ? clyde : i know what i put you through . ben : hmph . must be killing you to have to say that . clyde : i mean it . ben : now you ca n't just whip off your belt and wrap it around your fist the way you used to whenever i 'd say something that you did n't want to hear . 'cause now i 'm old enough , and i 'm big enough to knock you straight on your ass . clyde : you know , jordan did n't just save you from me back then . she saved me from myself . if she had n't left with you -- ben : yeah , one of us might be dead . clyde : i know i needed that wake - up call . and i listened to it . ben : what else are you going to say ? clyde : well , there 's your girl . i 'll let you two have some fun . i hope you and i can talk again real soon . ben : so does that mean you 're sticking around ? clyde : well , like i said , i like it here in salem . met some real fine people , but bottom line is ... my kids are here . ben : [ breathes deeply ] abigail : you okay ? ben : i am now . i 'm off work , and you 're here . abigail : okay . [ chuckles ] what do you want to do ? ben : just be with you . abigail : i like that plan . ben : mwah ! brady : it 's -- it 's the company . it 's a business thing , some kind of crisis . i have to go back to the house and deal with it . theresa : yeah , but i thought that we were gon na talk about -- brady : i 'm sorry , you wan na -- there 's something you had to tell me . what was it ? theresa : it -- it 'll keep . just go do whatever you have to do , and i -- i 'll see you later . brady : okay , thank you for understanding . theresa : sure . [ exhales ] damn it . daniel : i have been reading up on drugs similar to this , but i -- kayla : none of them have the same lab results as this one does . daniel : we 're not just talking about lab tests , we are talking about brady 's father . i mean , we 're not even sure that this will work . kayla : i think that we 're at the point where we should do anything for john . you know , even if this drug does n't work , for me , it 's better than doing nothing . daniel : yeah , but why did we have to get it from kristen ? kayla : by way of stefano , no less . i 've been thinking the same thing . daniel : well , whether it works or not , we 're giving her another chance to mess with brady . and maybe this time ... she 'll destroy him . kristen : no , wait a minute . what 's the matter ? do n't you feel well ? where 's the snappy comeback ? marlena : you had your father develop an experimental drug to help john just to get one up on me . now , come on , what is that ? kristen : you know what , do whatever you want . do n't give him the drug . why do n't you just ship him off to some very sad facility and watch him die slowly , one inch at a time ? marlena : you know , if you 're involving brady in this in some vain hope of getting him back , if you 're getting his hopes up for no reason , there will be hell to pay . kristen : oh , i 'm scared , scared . why has n't daniel told her ? i know i gave him everything he needed . [ exhales ] god , maybe brady does n't even know . okay , look , this drug has to work . just hold on , kristen , this drug is going to work . that bastard better not double - cross me . [ gasps ] brady : hey , what was that phone call about ? it was so mysterious , you -- you 're in on this too ? kayla : yeah . brady : this is about my dad , is n't it ? daniel : yeah , it is big news . ben : this is n't really much of a dinner , but -- abigail : no , it 's fine . it 's great . ben : i wanted to take you to that new sushi spot near the pier , but -- abigail : but then you saw your father and you were n't in the mood anymore , right ? ben : when i did n't hear from him for a few days , i was hoping he kind of just left town . abigail : are you worried that he 's never going to leave ? ben : he keeps saying he likes it here . he likes the people . but he keeps trying to get me to believe that he 's not the same guy he was when i was a kid . abigail : but you do n't believe him ? ben : no , he knows how to turn on the charm when he wants something . but he 'll never change . not really . abigail : you know , my father was n't perfect either . in fact , he was far from it and -- ben : abigail , my father is nothing like yours . if you saw the way he was -- abigail : how was he , ben ? what did he do to you ? ben : i 'm not even going to get into it . i wanted this night just to be special for us . abigail : and it still can be . anne : so , i guess things did n't go well with brady ? theresa : they did n't go at all . anne : well , what happened ? theresa : well , i was gearing up to tell him that his crazy ex - girlfriend was threatening to throw me in the river , and then he got a phone call , and just took off . anne : oh , why ? theresa : i do n't know . he said it was work , i mean , at least that 's what he said . anne : okay , so is she really going to throw you in the river ? theresa : she just wants me out of the way . anne : well , then maybe you should get out of the way . i mean , if she 's so scary . look , there 's no guarantee that brady 's just going to get all protective , and come running back to you . theresa : but it 's a shot , anne , and let 's be honest , my window of opportunity is kind of closing here . anne : okay . theresa : [ exhales ] god . anne : i mean look , maybe they 'll transfer his father soon . theresa : no , 'cause then brady 'll be all worked up and i 'll feel guilty about that . i - i - i , oh god , i do n't know what to do . i do n't -- i do n't know . anne : well , you know , you may have better luck if you asked brady for his protection in a cozy , say less fluorescent , environment , if you know what i mean . anne : oh , my god . you 're a genius . ej : hmm , first marlena and now you . i better get out of this place before i run into jack the ripper . ej : well , i 'm sure you could handle jack the ripper . tell you what , you enjoy the fresh air and the freedom while you can , hmm ? kristen : look who 's talking . are n't you being indicted for cooking the books or something , ej ? ej : it 's a white - collar crime . it 's really small potatoes compared to drugging and raping a priest . kristen : and we could 've helped each other until you went over to the other side . ej : my wife 's side . kristen : no , your estranged wife 's side . i mean , jennifer 's daughter , chad 's girlfriend , really ? ej : i really do n't see any point in talking to you about this . kristen : well , neither do i. i find your domestic situation entirely too boring . ej : wonderful , then why do n't we just go our separate ways ? kristen : okay , you know what though , eej ? i just have to share this with you ; father 's been so incredibly helpful . i mean , really , he 's been very supportive , and i think things are looking up for me . ej : yeah ? [ laughs ] kristen : mm - hmm . i really do . ej : do n't make me laugh . kristen : i would n't dream of it . ej : why ? what have you done ? brady : what is all this ? daniel : it 's information on an experimental drug , one that 's not even on the market . kayla : that 's why we did n't tell you about it . daniel : and we think it may be able to bring your father out of his coma . brady : the -- all the top specialists that you brought in , how come they did n't say anything about this drug ? daniel : because they did n't know about it . brady : the top guys in the field did n't know this drug existed ? and you want to use this on my dad ? daniel : yes , yes . the drug reacts on nerve cells in the lower part of the brain , the brain stem . kayla : and these nerve cells are responsible for maintaining a waking state . daniel : they rely on neurotransmitters like neoepinephrine and dopamine to turn on cell groups in the upper part of the brain . kayla : we 're really excited about this drug 's potential . daniel : and we really do n't see a down side . the only thing , the worst thing , that could actually happen is nothing . kayla : and john stays just like he is . daniel : so we need your permission to do this . brady : when ? daniel : as soon as possible . brady : this could bring him back ? kayla : yes . brady : why did n't you tell me -- why did n't you tell me about this before ? kayla : we did n't want to get your hopes up until we had checked it out . brady : and did you ? kayla : yes . i want to do it . let 's do it . daniel : okay , well , hold on . there 's something else you need to know . the person who brought us this drug ... it 's kristen . sami : you know when your daddy was little , i would give him these plums , i think it was , just a spoonful . and then he would blow this big raspberry , and all the plums would end up all over me , and he would have this big grin on his face . it was so funny to him . but that was a long time ago . i 'll get you that address you need . theresa : anne , brady getting that phone call , it was a good thing because now i can tell him that i need to meet him somewhere private . anne : yeah , like under a quilt with a roaring fireplace . theresa : and he can hold me tight and tell me that everything 's going to be fine . anne : and then one thing could lead to another and -- theresa : and luckily i know exactly where that place is . anne : ahh . kristen : i thought you were so eager to get away from me . ej : my relationship with you is what came between me and samantha . so if you can my father are cooking anything up that involves her in any way -- kristen : you have got to be kidding me ! she set you up . she had you arrested . she and kate took the company away from you and father . and you 're worried what she 's going to think about what i 'll do ? ej : yes . kristen : see , team of wild horses , dessert cream , mashed potatoes , ej dimera -- ej : what are you doing ? kristen : thinking up of a list of things that are whipped . when are you going to stop letting sami do your thinking for you ? ej : that 's not how it works . kristen : really ? she allowed you to make me your enemy , and that was not smart . ej : [ chuckles ] i 'm shaking in my boots . kristen : you should be .

[ chuckles ] it says here you know conrad mims . you probably know him by his professional name -- masa honey . how do you think he 'd react if i told him that you were working his territory and keeping the profits for yourself ? leah : well , i did n't . i swear i did n't . bo : who do you think he 'll believe ? my wife and i can help you , and i really do n't like having to threaten you . but i am a father who will do anything to get my daughter back . that -- that 's who 's standing in front of you -- a man who will do anything -- anything -- to get his daughter back . leah : what do you wan na know ?

[ scene_break ] maggie : hmm . victor : maggie . i 've been looking for you . maggie : [ clears throat ] well , have n't we said everything that we have to say to each other ? victor : well , there was one thing i forgot -- to thank you .

[ scene_break ] nicole : i wish i could tell you you can move in with me so you can drink without guilt , but , uh , things are a little complicated . chloe : yeah ? nicole : well , things are always complicated with ej , but this time ... chloe : what ? nicole : [ sighs ] i think ej had something to do with rafe 's accident . chloe : oh . that would be wildly out of character for him . nicole : and ever since the accident , things have gone south with rafe and sami . and i just found out yesterday that he 's gone . rafe left town . chloe : you think that 's what ej wanted all along ? nicole : it -- it does n't make sense . rafe got in an accident because he was chasing sami . so , unless the dimeras have a suicide deer working for them , it 's impossible for ej to have pulled it off . but it 's odd ... that things worked out almost as if ej had planned them . [ scene_break ] ej : there does n't seem to be any point in continuing this conversation , so i 'll be in my office . please call me if you hear anything about theo .

[ scene_break ] melanie : i do know that . that 's about the only thing i know since i 'm such a mess . brady : you are a mess , but it 's okay 'cause it 's an appropriate response , given what you 've been through . you 're a woman who needs some serious r & r , so here 's what 's going to happen , okay ? you 're gon na stay here for as long as you want , and i 'm gon na look after you . if you wan na scream , you scream at me , all right ? if you wan na cry , you cry on this shoulder . if you wan na throw things , i 'm gon na duck . melanie : [ chuckles ] brady : and if you just wan na stare at the tv , i 'm gon na make you some popcorn . you just do whatever you feel like you need to do for as long as you want to do it until you feel like you again , okay ? melanie : thank you ... for just being you . [ scene_break ] maggie : you wan na thank me ? victor : well , brady and i are going to make a new start . maggie : i 'm glad . i still do n't see what that has to do with me . victor : well , it 's been my experience that whenever brady does anything that 's mature or level - headed , it has something to do with you . maggie : so , if it 's , uh , mature and level - headed for brady to try to forgive you , why ca n't you do the same for chloe ? victor : well , that 's an entirely different thing . maggie : and why is that ? victor : 'cause i say so . maggie , i know i 'm not gon na get you to harden your heart , and i 'm not sure i even want to . and what i 'm about to say to you is probably gon na sound like the same ol ' , same ol ' , but be careful with chloe . i 'm not just a vindictive old man . people around her get hurt . i 'm not sure she even means it . maggie : i know she does n't . victor : if you 're gon na rescue a drowning person , you have to make sure that you do n't get pulled under . but , please , be careful . maggie : [ sighs ] victor : if she 's so needy , she 's dangerous . maggie : okay . i know what you 're saying , but i 'm actually tougher than you know . victor : oh , hell , you do n't have to tell me you 're tough ... not after this morning . i 've got the bruises to prove it . maggie : well , i am still praying for ciara and theo . victor : good . he probably listens to you a lot more than he does to me .

[ scene_break ] stefano : say it again . guard # 2 : i have good news and bad news . patient 4537 has escaped . stefano : escaped ? guard # 2 : but the good news is he 's dead . [ next_on ] abigail : and you always get what you want , do n't you ? ej : i 'm divorcing nicole . chloe : they had a prisoner in the basement ? nicole : i think it was rafe . | rafe was surrounded . he inched back over the rocks and fell into the water . the rocks and current made the man with the gun doubt that rafe survived the fall . fake rafe looked up after hearing the noise . he cursed after seeing ciara and theo duck . he was spotted . the kid told him they were running away . ciara begged him not to tell anyone or make them go back home . he said he would n't , but they had to swear not to tell anyone they saw him . ciara promised , but theo said he could n't lie . fake rafe got frustrated and told them to do it his way or else . nicole , ej , and the new taylor ( tamara braun ) were at the dimera mansion . taylor wanted to talk to nicole about leaving the mansion . nicole told her that fay 's accident was n't taylor 's fault . nicole wanted ej to convince taylor of that too . taylor said that was n't the reason . nicole wanted to know what it was . taylor told her there was n't a need for her to stay . ej got a phone call about theo being missing . taylor left to be with lexie . ej asked taylor to tell lexie he loves her . nicole wondered if ej was going too . he did n't think he would be welcomed by the others affected . nicole was suddenly worried about the kids . ej knew they were fine . nicole was concerned because when she spoke to `` rafe `` , he did n't seem to know when the kids would be back . ej said he was n't surprised . nicole said the kids loved rafe and would be heartbroken . ej felt good about it . stefano showed up and wanted to talk to ej . when nicole left , stefano told him that fake rafe left salem . ej already knew since nicole talked to dario . ej thought nicole was convinced something was going on with him and rafe . he has to be nice to her so she would n't see the divorce coming . stefano was surprised because ej has only been married a short time . stefano did n't like the idea of them getting a divorce . the two kept arguing about nicole and taylor . brady told victor they are still family . brady told him he is on probation . victor thought it would be nice to have someone on his side . brady told him he had melanie . | <s>[INST] guard # 1 : patient 4537 . i got him . it 's kind of pointless to keep running , is n't it , seeing as how you 're surrounded ?

[ chuckles ] sam : bye , nina . nina : bye . silas : be right back . sam : you did n't have to do that . silas : yes , i did . more importantly , i wanted to . look , with all this stuff that 's going on with nina , it may not look like that you are a priority , but you are the priority , all right ? sam : okay . silas : hey , this is a temporary situation . we 're gon na get through it together . sam : okay . all right , well , what if she needs you ? silas : she does n't . and she said she was okay with our plans . all i need to hear is you say that you 're okay with our plans . silas : i know i did n't give you much choice with this nina situation . i 've been trying to do the right thing , and i 've just been making everybody miserable along the way . please , let me make it up to you . let me take you out tonight . sam : yes . silas : yes ? sam : [ chuckles ] yes ! of course . yes . silas : so , what 's your pleasure ? dinner , movie , a little dancing ? sam : oh , wow . i go from no choice to every choice in the book ? i do n't know . that 's a tough one . silas : i 'm desperate here . i 'm trying to crawl out of a hole . sam : you are not desperate . and i will throw you a rope anytime . silas : yeah ? sam : pick me up at 8 : 00 . silas : i have missed you . sam : oh , i know . alexis : molly , has sam asked you to move in with her ? no . she has n't . molly : she 'll understand why i ca n't stay here . alexis : honey , julian is sam 's father . molly : who she did n't even know a year ago ! sam may not believe me when i tell her julian is guilty , but she will understand why i ca n't stand to be around him . alexis : honey , please think about this . molly : i have thought about it . you 're the one who 's not thinking . alexis : molly , wait ! molly : and look who 's here . alexis : molly ! molly : who 's on the phone , julian ? your real boss ? alexis : [ sighs ] michael : luke is n't who you thought he was ? tracy : no . kiki : okay . i 'll bite . who is he ? tracy : he 's a lying cheat masquerading as a man . that couples ' massage ? well , apparently , luke had intended it for himself ... and two masseuses . by the time i showed up , they were well into it , and by `` it , `` i mean ... deep tissue . deep . michael : okay . kiki : oh ! my god . michael : what did you do ? tracy : i 'm here , are n't i ? michael : all right , well , what about luke ? tracy : i told him to take a hike . [ sighs ] last thing i knew , he and the magic hands twins were boarding a plane to amsterdam for a grand tour of debauchery . kiki : that is disturbing . michael : yeah . i 'm sorry , tracy . tracy : you warned me . i did n't want to listen . [ sighs ] i just wanted to be married -- happily ever after . luke was just in it for the money . the worst thing about it is not only did i make a fool of myself , but i treated you and ned so badly . you were just trying to help me , and i was terrible to you . you did n't deserve it . do you think you can forgive me ? anna : so , where do we stand , jordan ? jordan : julian is pressing me to get the drug operation back up and running . and i think that his mystery boss is anxious to get a return on his investment . i mean , he 's really riding julian pretty hard . anna : i 'm not surprised , given recent events . jordan : look , i 've tried to delay , but i can not stall anymore without making julian suspicious . anna : then i.d . the boss and you do n't have to stall . jordan : julian is the only one who knows who he 's working for . and he 's still unwilling to confide . anna : well , then you 've got to find another way . because i am not going to sit by while julian floods this city with drugs . jordan : okay , trust me , i want this just as much as you do . i was on the verge of telling my son that i was d.e.a . when we found out that we had the wrong guy in lansing , because as of this moment , my son has no idea who i am . i mean , he thinks that i 'm a low - life drug dealer . [ door closes ] nathan : look , your honor -- judge walters : a simple `` yes `` or `` no `` will suffice . diane : with all due respect , your honor , a simple `` yes `` or `` no `` to which question ? i counted no less than four just now . does detective west stand by the statement that he made at the previous hearing ? did he throw out the notice ? did my client have a knowledge of the hearing ? and then -- and then there was a fourth one which i ca n't remember . judge walters : point taken , counselor . it 's been some time since i 've practiced as an attorney . however , i do know the law , as i expect detective west does , as well . the penalty for perjury is severe . a witness who lies to the court can expect to see the inside of a jail cell . a police officer who lies also may lose his job and his pension , so , with that in mind , detective , please answer this one question -- did you or did you not lie in order to protect miss jones ? judge walters : detective west , did you lie to protect miss jones ? levi : if i may ... ? please . sorry . forgive the interruption , your honorable worship walters . judge walters : `` your honor `` will do just fine . levi : sorry , your honor . [ chuckles ] that 's how we do things down under . judge walters : and -- and who are you ? lev levi of the darwin dunklemans . and i 'm the first to admit that i know nothing about american justice . diane : and , as such , he should be forgiven this untimely interruption . he will , of course , now sit down and be silent . levi : yes , but in the interest of fairness , your honor , the reason we 're here today is not because of nathan . it 's maxie . and you 're deciding whether she 's fit enough to see her child . diane : which is why we should not interrupt the judge with any re of these pointless histrionics . levi : your honor , it 's been my privilege to get to know maxie over the last six months . i 've seen her grow by leaps and bounds as she 's dedicated her time and her heart to humanitarian causes across the globe . and is n't that what you asked her to do , your honor ? to prove that she could change ? well , i 've seen it . and if you give her a chance , you 're going to see it , too . i questioned the wisdom of maxie to seek a relationship with her daughter . but i was wrong . and this court would be wrong to not allow her to see her child . so please , your honor , let nathan stand down and let maxie see her baby . silas : no , that 's -- that 's great . 8 : 15 . we 'll be there . thank you . hey . nina : hey . silas : you , uh , need a little hand there ? nina : no , i just -- [ chuckles ] no , no , no . i - i have to figure this out on my own . i ca n't rely on you all my life . silas : you can rely on me . nina : nope . i need to be independent . i do n't want to come between you and sam . silas : hey . listen to me . i asked you to be here , and i want to help you . i 'm walking kind of a fine line here between trying to be honest with you and also not parading a relationship in front of you . nina : well , you just want to be with your girl . silas : you know , this is a difficult situation for all of us . but i think if we 're -- if we 're honest with one another , maybe we can make a way through this . nina : be careful what you wish for . [ chuckles ] silas : about ... ? nina : well , you want honesty , so i 'll be honest . it seems more than a little weird that after a 20-year separation with my husband , i am giving my blessing for him to ... take up with another woman . sam : molly ? what 's going on ? molly : i ca n't live with mom anymore , so i 'm moving in here . julian : what happened ? alexis : i walked into the house and molly 's bags were packed and she was headed out the door . julian : going where ? alexis : to sam 's . julian : well , i guess that 's to be expected . i mean , ric 's death is still ... fresh . but ... she 'll get over it in time . alexis : yeah , well , she 'll get over it right now if i break up with you . julian : it 's that bad , huh ? alexis : that bad . uh - huh . she blames you for ric 's death , despite the fact that he brought it on himself . and she made it very clear that as long as you and i are together , she does n't want to have anything to do with me . julian : maybe you need to break up with me . jordan : thomas . what are you doing here ? tj : i wanted to talk , but , uh , i guess it could wait . anna : that 's okay . we 're done talking . you just keep your nose clean , ms . ashford . do n't disappoint me . jordan : i 'm really , really glad to see you , baby . tj : that 's surprising to hear considering how you 've been avoiding me . jordan : i 'm sorry about that . i 've , uh -- i 've been busy . tj : too busy peddling art to return my phone call ? jordan : you know , let 's talk about that . tj : just tell me what was so important that you had to see me right away . jordan : what i wanted to , uh , tell you is , um ... i moved to port charles for a fresh start and to focus on my son . but i got involved with , you know , the wrong crowd , and -- and i - i fell into some bad habits . look , tj , getting arrested -- for me , it brought home just how fragile my new life is , and i - i 'm sorry that i gambled with our future . i will not make that mistake again . tj : okay . then prove it . quit this job . kiki : i ca n't speak for michael , but ... i forgive you , tracy . tracy : thank you for your understanding . michael ? michael : [ sighs ] look , tracy , ned and i did n't take the company to hurt you , okay ? we were just protecting the family . [ sighs ] so , if kiki can forgive you , then so can i . tracy : oh ! michael , thank you so much . i am so glad you stepped in . when i think of what luke could have done to elq ... oh . well , i know that my father would be very proud of you . you acted like a true quartermaine . kiki : he is a true quartermaine . tracy : [ chuckles ] of course he is . i - i just meant that if anybody should know what this company means to our family , it should be me . i was a fool . thank god you and ned saw luke 's true colors and intervened ... even if it meant cutting me out . michael : well , i mean , the company 's been doing just fine , so , you know , no harm done . tracy : you have to let me make it up to you . michael : how ? tracy : let me come back to work . michael : you want to come back to elq ? tracy : michael , it 's a family company . i 'm part of the family . michael : yes , you are , but you only invoke family when it works for your agenda . tracy : michael ... you assume that i want to supplant you . fair enough . fair but mistaken . i will return in any capacity you see fit . you can exclude me from any sensitive areas and all decision making . michael : you know , that 's a generous offer , but , uh , something i learned from great - grandfather is if something seems too good to be true , it is . tracy : michael , i - i understand that you have doubts . but i just want to see this company prosper for the family . i know this company like the back of my hand . i can an asset . kiki : and luke ? michael : he would still have access through you , tracy . he 's your husband . tracy : not for long . our marriage was a fraud . i have applied for an annulment . luke spencer , the swindler , will be cut out . michael : [ sighs ] and you 're saying you 'd take any job i - i offered ? tracy : michael , i will mop floors if that 's what it takes -- anything if i can just help keep my father 's dream alive . tj : as long as you 're connected to julian jerome , even just working for his sister , people will have questions , mom . jordan : people like you ? tj : you 've got to make a clean break for it . like , let 's go , like , right now ! just do it for me . come on . [ sighs ] you know what ? never mind . i see that you 're right where you belong . jordan : wait , thomas . just wait . tj : what ? for more lies ? jordan : look , i need this job . tj : whatever . you know what ? just tell me one thing -- was molly 's dad really your boss ? julian : i just do n't want to cause a rift . alexis : julian , molly 's in pain . she 's grieving and she needs someone to blame and you 're it . you did get her father arrested because you turned in evidence against him , but he got himself killed , and he would still be alive today if he had owned up it and ended it . alexis : you did it , and you should be credited for that , not condemned . so you 're not going anywhere . julian : and what about molly ? alexis : she 'll be back . eventually . molly : i know julian is your father , but he was running drugs . sam : no , actually . the police said that -- that that was ric . molly : only because that 's what julian told them , but he could have lied . he could have manufactured the evidence . sam : molly ! molly : i know it . i know . and my father was not a drug dealer or a mob boss , and i 'm not gon na stay in that house and pretend to be okay while mom buys every lie he 's selling . sam : okay , look , i know this is difficult -- molly : it 's difficult for you , too . julian is your father , and you want to believe the best of him , but think about it , okay ? my father was gone for five years . he was in l.a . practicing law . your father -- i 'm sorry , but he 's been lying since he came to port charles . he lied about who he was . he tried to take over uncle sonny 's territory . and that is how a mobster acts , which is exactly what julian is -- a mobster . and if he actually does have some mystery boss , which i seriously doubt , there is no way it was my dad . sam : look , i am -- i 'm not gon na argue with you , because i do n't have any proof either way , but you are my sister , so it does n't matter what our fathers did or did n't do . molly : i knew you 'd feel that way . that is exactly why i 'm here . sam : molly , you are not 18 yet . mom can force you to go home . molly : not if you say it 's okay for me to stay here . diane : your honor , while this young man certainly spoke out of turn ... he did us all a great service . as he has pointed out , maxie jones has proved herself worthy and should be allowed to see her child . judge walters : miss jones , we 're all here to serve the best interest of the child . those interests may not be served if i learn that you knowingly missed your previously scheduled hearing . i believe that speaks directly to your temperament and commitment to being a parent . with that in mind , i will ask the detective one more time -- detective west , `` yes `` or `` no , `` did you lie to the court when you claimed to have thrown away that notice ? maxie : no , your honor . detective west did not lie . i did . diane : maxie , no . levi : what are you doing ? judge walters : enough ! we 're going to sort this out right now . miss jones , what does this mean ? you lied and the detective did n't ? maxie : nathan , uh , threw out the notice , but he did n't know that i had already seen it . nathan : maxie , do n't . maxie : he did n't know i had already seen it , and he did n't know that i was aware of the hearing . he thought he made a mistake , and i let him take the blame . judge walters : [ sighs ] you saw the notice and you consciously chose not to attend the hearing ? maxie : that ... is correct , your honor . judge walters : how do you expect me to believe that you truly want to be a part of your daughter 's life when you knowingly missed a chance to make that happen ? nina : i guess there 's a bright side to getting to know your husband 's girlfriend .

[ chuckles ] sam : bye , nina . nina : bye . silas : be right back . sam : you did n't have to do that . silas : yes , i did . more importantly , i wanted to . look , with all this stuff that 's going on with nina , it may not look like that you are a priority , but you are the priority , all right ? sam : okay . silas : hey , this is a temporary situation . we 're gon na get through it together . sam : okay . all right , well , what if she needs you ? silas : she does n't . and she said she was okay with our plans . all i need to hear is you say that you 're okay with our plans . silas : i know i did n't give you much choice with this nina situation . i 've been trying to do the right thing , and i 've just been making everybody miserable along the way . please , let me make it up to you . let me take you out tonight . sam : yes . silas : yes ? sam : [ chuckles ] yes ! of course . yes . silas : so , what 's your pleasure ? dinner , movie , a little dancing ? sam : oh , wow . i go from no choice to every choice in the book ? i do n't know . that 's a tough one . silas : i 'm desperate here . i 'm trying to crawl out of a hole . sam : you are not desperate . and i will throw you a rope anytime . silas : yeah ? sam : pick me up at 8 : 00 . silas : i have missed you . sam : oh , i know . alexis : molly , has sam asked you to move in with her ? no . she has n't . molly : she 'll understand why i ca n't stay here . alexis : honey , julian is sam 's father . molly : who she did n't even know a year ago ! sam may not believe me when i tell her julian is guilty , but she will understand why i ca n't stand to be around him . alexis : honey , please think about this . molly : i have thought about it . you 're the one who 's not thinking . alexis : molly , wait ! molly : and look who 's here . alexis : molly ! molly : who 's on the phone , julian ? your real boss ? alexis : [ sighs ] michael : luke is n't who you thought he was ? tracy : no . kiki : okay . i 'll bite . who is he ? tracy : he 's a lying cheat masquerading as a man . that couples ' massage ? well , apparently , luke had intended it for himself ... and two masseuses . by the time i showed up , they were well into it , and by `` it , `` i mean ... deep tissue . deep . michael : okay . kiki : oh ! my god . michael : what did you do ? tracy : i 'm here , are n't i ? michael : all right , well , what about luke ? tracy : i told him to take a hike . [ sighs ] last thing i knew , he and the magic hands twins were boarding a plane to amsterdam for a grand tour of debauchery . kiki : that is disturbing . michael : yeah . i 'm sorry , tracy . tracy : you warned me . i did n't want to listen . [ sighs ] i just wanted to be married -- happily ever after . luke was just in it for the money . the worst thing about it is not only did i make a fool of myself , but i treated you and ned so badly . you were just trying to help me , and i was terrible to you . you did n't deserve it . do you think you can forgive me ? anna : so , where do we stand , jordan ? jordan : julian is pressing me to get the drug operation back up and running . and i think that his mystery boss is anxious to get a return on his investment . i mean , he 's really riding julian pretty hard . anna : i 'm not surprised , given recent events . jordan : look , i 've tried to delay , but i can not stall anymore without making julian suspicious . anna : then i.d . the boss and you do n't have to stall . jordan : julian is the only one who knows who he 's working for . and he 's still unwilling to confide . anna : well , then you 've got to find another way . because i am not going to sit by while julian floods this city with drugs . jordan : okay , trust me , i want this just as much as you do . i was on the verge of telling my son that i was d.e.a . when we found out that we had the wrong guy in lansing , because as of this moment , my son has no idea who i am . i mean , he thinks that i 'm a low - life drug dealer . [ door closes ] nathan : look , your honor -- judge walters : a simple `` yes `` or `` no `` will suffice . diane : with all due respect , your honor , a simple `` yes `` or `` no `` to which question ? i counted no less than four just now . does detective west stand by the statement that he made at the previous hearing ? did he throw out the notice ? did my client have a knowledge of the hearing ? and then -- and then there was a fourth one which i ca n't remember . judge walters : point taken , counselor . it 's been some time since i 've practiced as an attorney . however , i do know the law , as i expect detective west does , as well . the penalty for perjury is severe . a witness who lies to the court can expect to see the inside of a jail cell . a police officer who lies also may lose his job and his pension , so , with that in mind , detective , please answer this one question -- did you or did you not lie in order to protect miss jones ? judge walters : detective west , did you lie to protect miss jones ? levi : if i may ... ? please . sorry . forgive the interruption , your honorable worship walters . judge walters : `` your honor `` will do just fine . levi : sorry , your honor . [ chuckles ] that 's how we do things down under . judge walters : and -- and who are you ? lev levi of the darwin dunklemans . and i 'm the first to admit that i know nothing about american justice . diane : and , as such , he should be forgiven this untimely interruption . he will , of course , now sit down and be silent . levi : yes , but in the interest of fairness , your honor , the reason we 're here today is not because of nathan . it 's maxie . and you 're deciding whether she 's fit enough to see her child . diane : which is why we should not interrupt the judge with any re of these pointless histrionics . levi : your honor , it 's been my privilege to get to know maxie over the last six months . i 've seen her grow by leaps and bounds as she 's dedicated her time and her heart to humanitarian causes across the globe . and is n't that what you asked her to do , your honor ? to prove that she could change ? well , i 've seen it . and if you give her a chance , you 're going to see it , too . i questioned the wisdom of maxie to seek a relationship with her daughter . but i was wrong . and this court would be wrong to not allow her to see her child . so please , your honor , let nathan stand down and let maxie see her baby . silas : no , that 's -- that 's great . 8 : 15 . we 'll be there . thank you . hey . nina : hey . silas : you , uh , need a little hand there ? nina : no , i just -- [ chuckles ] no , no , no . i - i have to figure this out on my own . i ca n't rely on you all my life . silas : you can rely on me . nina : nope . i need to be independent . i do n't want to come between you and sam . silas : hey . listen to me . i asked you to be here , and i want to help you . i 'm walking kind of a fine line here between trying to be honest with you and also not parading a relationship in front of you . nina : well , you just want to be with your girl . silas : you know , this is a difficult situation for all of us . but i think if we 're -- if we 're honest with one another , maybe we can make a way through this . nina : be careful what you wish for . [ chuckles ] silas : about ... ? nina : well , you want honesty , so i 'll be honest . it seems more than a little weird that after a 20-year separation with my husband , i am giving my blessing for him to ... take up with another woman . sam : molly ? what 's going on ? molly : i ca n't live with mom anymore , so i 'm moving in here . julian : what happened ? alexis : i walked into the house and molly 's bags were packed and she was headed out the door . julian : going where ? alexis : to sam 's . julian : well , i guess that 's to be expected . i mean , ric 's death is still ... fresh . but ... she 'll get over it in time . alexis : yeah , well , she 'll get over it right now if i break up with you . julian : it 's that bad , huh ? alexis : that bad . uh - huh . she blames you for ric 's death , despite the fact that he brought it on himself . and she made it very clear that as long as you and i are together , she does n't want to have anything to do with me . julian : maybe you need to break up with me . jordan : thomas . what are you doing here ? tj : i wanted to talk , but , uh , i guess it could wait . anna : that 's okay . we 're done talking . you just keep your nose clean , ms . ashford . do n't disappoint me . jordan : i 'm really , really glad to see you , baby . tj : that 's surprising to hear considering how you 've been avoiding me . jordan : i 'm sorry about that . i 've , uh -- i 've been busy . tj : too busy peddling art to return my phone call ? jordan : you know , let 's talk about that . tj : just tell me what was so important that you had to see me right away . jordan : what i wanted to , uh , tell you is , um ... i moved to port charles for a fresh start and to focus on my son . but i got involved with , you know , the wrong crowd , and -- and i - i fell into some bad habits . look , tj , getting arrested -- for me , it brought home just how fragile my new life is , and i - i 'm sorry that i gambled with our future . i will not make that mistake again . tj : okay . then prove it . quit this job . kiki : i ca n't speak for michael , but ... i forgive you , tracy . tracy : thank you for your understanding . michael ? michael : [ sighs ] look , tracy , ned and i did n't take the company to hurt you , okay ? we were just protecting the family . [ sighs ] so , if kiki can forgive you , then so can i . tracy : oh ! michael , thank you so much . i am so glad you stepped in . when i think of what luke could have done to elq ... oh . well , i know that my father would be very proud of you . you acted like a true quartermaine . kiki : he is a true quartermaine . tracy : [ chuckles ] of course he is . i - i just meant that if anybody should know what this company means to our family , it should be me . i was a fool . thank god you and ned saw luke 's true colors and intervened ... even if it meant cutting me out . michael : well , i mean , the company 's been doing just fine , so , you know , no harm done . tracy : you have to let me make it up to you . michael : how ? tracy : let me come back to work . michael : you want to come back to elq ? tracy : michael , it 's a family company . i 'm part of the family . michael : yes , you are , but you only invoke family when it works for your agenda . tracy : michael ... you assume that i want to supplant you . fair enough . fair but mistaken . i will return in any capacity you see fit . you can exclude me from any sensitive areas and all decision making . michael : you know , that 's a generous offer , but , uh , something i learned from great - grandfather is if something seems too good to be true , it is . tracy : michael , i - i understand that you have doubts . but i just want to see this company prosper for the family . i know this company like the back of my hand . i can an asset . kiki : and luke ? michael : he would still have access through you , tracy . he 's your husband . tracy : not for long . our marriage was a fraud . i have applied for an annulment . luke spencer , the swindler , will be cut out . michael : [ sighs ] and you 're saying you 'd take any job i - i offered ? tracy : michael , i will mop floors if that 's what it takes -- anything if i can just help keep my father 's dream alive . tj : as long as you 're connected to julian jerome , even just working for his sister , people will have questions , mom . jordan : people like you ? tj : you 've got to make a clean break for it . like , let 's go , like , right now ! just do it for me . come on .

[ chuckles ] it looked like he 'd rather have been playing football than enduring a birthday party . silas : he 's a tough kid . went through a serious bout of leukemia and came out the other side . nina : oh . so sad . he 'll grow up never knowing his father . silas : well , you know , danny and sam -- they have a lot of family . he 'll be fine . nina : mm . when did he pass away ? was it recent ? silas : must be about 18 months now , i guess . nina : oh . wow . then you and sam have been seeing each other a long time . silas : yes . nina : does it bother you that she still wears her wedding ring ? maxie : am i ready to be a mother ? that 's a good question , judge . deliberately missing my custody hearing would lead anyone to wonder about the commitment i was willing to make to my daughter . when i saw the notice , i actually wondered myself . suddenly , the day i had been waiting six months for was finally here , and i thought i would be excited , but i was terrified -- terrified that you would take my measure and decide that i was n't worthy of being a mom . or worse -- that i was . what if i was finally allowed to be a part of my daughter 's life and i could n't handle it ? what if i was bad at it ? or maybe i would be great . i mean , does n't every parent wonder ? do n't they try anyway ? that 's what i decided to do . because i love my little girl , and she deserves to have me . she deserves to have me around when she 's learning to walk or falling down , deciding what she wants to do with her life , when she 's succeeding or failing like i have done ... like everyone 's done . levi 's right . i 've de a lot of growing up the last six months . but i have a lot more growing up to do . i think i always will . but that 's life , right ? i 'm a different person than i was when i was pregnant and lying to my friends . i 'm a better person . and i truly believe that i deserve to be a part of my daughter 's life . so , please , please let me be a part of her life .Summarize.[/INST]tracy returns to port charles early and tells michael and kiki that she caught luke during their honeymoon in the act with two masseuses and that she is getting the marriage annulled . michael tells her that after he has verified the annulment , she can come back to work at elq . tracy tells luke on the phone that their plan worked like a charm and that she is getting elq away from michael .</s> | 10,789 |
victoria : tell me i did n't hear what you just said . you slept together ? billy : victoria , listen -- chelsea : maybe i should go . victoria : no , stop . you know what ? do n't say another word . it 's my turn . dylan : so , how 's everything looking ? stitch : pretty good , considering what we had to work with . i 'm going off duty . dylan : well , it 's about time . stitch : [ chuckling ] yeah . it 's been a long one . i 'm gon na go swim some laps -- burn off some tension . dylan : what 's got you so tense ? stitch : the usual . but i 'll feel a lot better once you walk out of here . rumor has it it could be tomorrow . dylan : yeah , that 's what dr. chang said , too . stitch : you lucked out having him as a doctor . the guy really knows his stuff . dylan : well , you need some credit here , too -- all those extra hours you put in , being there for avery . i really appreciate that . thank you . stitch : she and nikki hardly left your side . dylan : yeah . i got to say , it 's nice having so many people i can count on . ian : i hope you can think of me as ... one of them . nikki : when i learned i was pregnant , i just panicked . [ sighs ] i just assumed that it was ian 's . i was so young . it never entered my mind . believe me , if i had known the baby was yours , i would have made a very different decision . i would have kept him and raised him . paul : victor ? sharon : faith , hurry up , sweetie . get your pool stuff or we 're gon na be late meeting your friends . we 're going swimming at the club . do you want to come with us ? sharon : um , faith , mariah 's only been staying with us for one night . we do n't want her to feel obligated to tag along with us every time we go somewhere . mariah : well , i have the day off , and it sounds like fun -- as long as it 's okay with you , of course . sharon : yeah , of course . we 'd love to have you . faith : yay ! i 'll show you how i can swim across the whole pool ! sharon : i think you have a fan . mariah : well , it means a lot that you would include me . uh , there 's just one problem . sharon : what 's that ? mariah : i do n't own a bathing suit . sharon : oh . well , that 's not a problem . i saw some really cute ones at lauren 's boutique . why do n't you go and pick one out and then you can meet us at the pool ? i 'll give you the money . mariah : no , no . sharon , i -- that 's very sweet of you to offer , but i owe you so much already . i could n't possibly accept . sharon : yes , you can . you know what ? it 's a gift , so take it . mariah : thank you so much . sharon : you 're very welcome . mariah : is nick coming ? sharon : maybe later . he has a family thing he has to do . nick : someone married this guy ? jack : can you believe it ? nick : when did this happen ? how long have you known ? jack : i did n't see the point in ruining your holiday , but now that i 've told you about this , we need to figure out a way to handle it . nick : `` we `` ? jack : summer is living in a fantasy world . she has decided that kidnapping a prominent attorney and shooting the chief of police is gon na get her husband a slap on the wrist . she 's decided that he 's gon na probably pick up trash on the de of the road for 90 days and then the two of them are gon na sail off into the sunset . nick : you 're kidding me . jack : i 'm afraid not . this guy is gon na do real time -- hard time . she refuses to face reality , and nothing i say will get through to her . nick : and you think i can get through to her ? jack : whether it 's you or me or the two of us working together , we have to find some way to end this sham of a marriage . nick , i need to know you 're with me on this . nick : look , jack , i know you 're coming at me out of love for summer , but there 's really only so much we can do . jack : not you , too . i have had this conversation with kelly . abby has chimed in . nick : and ? jack : they both advised me to back off , to let this so - called relationship run its course . nick : which is obviously advice you do n't agree with . jack : i just -- i tried to hear their perspective . they were both teenagers once . they know better than i do what goes through the mind of a girl that age . but i 'm her father . i ca n't in good conscience stand by and watch her throw away her future . nick : if summer were underage , i would rip that marriage license to shreds . jack : that marriage license is legit . the marriage itself is a joke . do you know why they ran off and got married ? if they 're married , summer ca n't be compelled to testify against austin -- that and , of course , her trust fund provides a handy source of cash for his legal fees . nick : there 's more to it than that . summer looked me in the eye , and she told me that she loves this guy . jack : i 'm sure summer believes that . look , i was 19 once , too . i know how powerful it is to fall in love for the first time . but this is summer 's life -- her whole future . we need to look out for her . now , look -- i was able to cut off her funds once . maybe if the two of us go to the bank together -- nick : it 's not gon na work . trust me . it 'll just make her dig her heels in deeper . does it sound like someone else we know ? jack : if only phyllis were here to fix this . nick : well , i can guarantee you phyllis would n't be running to the bank to freeze funds . jack : then help me find another way . the two of them got married to get around the law . maybe that 's illegal . between the two of us , we can find a judge who can listen to this and -- nick : no . no . if your plan is to take summer to court , then you can count me out . summer : okay , hurry up , because i want to return the favor and rub oil all over my husband . i love that word -- `` husband . `` do n't you ? hey . are you okay ? austin : uh , yeah . i just have a lot on my mind . summer : i know . me too . just try not to worry , okay ? look , i have enough money to pay leslie for her to keep you out of prison , and now that i do n't have to testify against you -- austin : do n't you get it ? that 's all your dad thinks i want from you -- money and to keep you quiet . summer : who cares what other people think ? when you love someone , you give what you have to keep them safe , and all i have is you . austin : what do i have to give you , summer ? nothing but trouble . i do n't want to burden you with that . summer : will you stop , please ? okay , it 's not a burden to be your wife . look , when i look at you , i see everything that i 've ever wanted . austin : will you be okay for a bit ? there 's something i need to do . summer : yeah . nikki : oh , victor . i was just talking to paul . victor : hello , sweetheart . nikki : [ chuckles ] victor : so , i tried to convince her to stay home and get some rest , but she insisted on seeing how you were doing . from what i can see , you 're doing rather well . nikki : yes , he is . paul : i am . victor : i have some other good news , and that is that dylan , one of the nurses told me , is about to be released , perhaps even tomorrow . nikki : oh , my god . that 's wonderful ! paul : that sure is . that 's great . victor : yeah . and now i think we should go home and let him some rest , okay ? paul : yeah , and you should probably get some rest , too . victor 's right -- you need to take care of yourself . victor : right ? stitch : are you gon na leave quietly ? ian : or what -- you gon na call security ? stitch : no . i 'm gon na throw you out myself , and i 'll enjoy it . dylan : stitch , i can handle it . what do you want ? ian : i understand your anger , and i share it . it was nikki who set you on a path that led to me , and ever since then , all i 've wanted is a relationship with my miracle son . and now that the bitter truth is out , i just came to tell you that i do n't find you responsible for any of it . and i 'm not gon na change my will . i 'm not gon na walk away . i still want us to try to have a relationship . dylan : well , do n't . ian : you and i are victims of the same irresponsible woman . do n't you see it ? the woman who led us to believe that we were related by blood , when all along , she knew -- nikki : get away from my son ! victoria : the two of you went to australia . i could have told you what would happen . what did you call it -- a fact - finding mission ? chelsea : that 's what it was . victoria : oh , yeah ? did you find a lot of facts under the covers ? chelsea : we went there to help you see which man you can trust and which you ca n't . victoria : oh . billy : you know what ? you could have trusted me , but you put your faith in stitch , who has been lying to you all along . victoria : this is n't about ben . this is about you , billy . whenever anything goes wrong , you go find a warm bed and a willing girl to make it all feel better , do n't you ? billy : you know what ? this is n't any of your business . you slept with stitch , kicked me out of our house , filed for divorce , so it seems to me that you do n't have any room to complain if i 've started a relationship of my own . victoria : oh . is that what this is ? is this a relationship ? billy : i do n't owe you an explanation . victoria : right . you do n't owe me an explanation . i just came by to remind you that i 'm taking johnny to see reed , so you and chelsea will have a few days to find all the facts that you want . billy : what the hell have i done ? [ sighs ] it feels like every time i see her , i just push her further away . chelsea : i am partly to blame , but you should have said something . billy : like what ? chelsea : anything . i did n't know victoria was here , or else i would n't have brought up what happened last night . billy : i 'm not blaming you . you 've been a good friend . chelsea : not anymore . nick : summer is determined to do things her own way , like her mother . but , like phyllis , she 's also very smart . once austin gets convicted and sent away , summer 's gon na realize they do n't have a future together . she will end things on her own . jack : this guy came to me and told me if he goes to prison , he 's gon na divorce summer -- let her go . nick : well , that 's something . jack : i 'm not sure i can believe him . and now my concern is if this ploy that they 've cooked up actually works and summer avoids taking the witness stand , he could get off . nick : given the severity of the crime and all the other witnesses , i highly doubt the prosecutor is gon na need summer 's testimony to put this guy away . he is going down . jack : we hope . nick : in the meantime , summer is an adult in the eyes of the law . now , i understand that you want to do everything you can to prevent summer from making a big mistake , but i see you making a big mistake of your own . jack : how do you figure that ? nick : the more you force this issue , the more you risk driving summer away . now , look , i got to go , but , jack , if she has to choose between you -- no offense -- a father she barely knows and this guy she thinks she 's in love with ... think about it . dylan : let me handle this , nikki . i do n't want you caught in the middle . nikki : i warned you last time to stay away from my son -- my son , not yours ! ian : you hear the venom coming out of her mouth ? she desperately needs to create a villain when you and i are the wounded parties . she has chosen to lie about your paternity and made us both suffer for it . dylan : the only suffering is gon na be yours if you do n't leave my mother alone . ian : [ sighs ] [ chuckles ] you had such promise once . what a waste . nikki : get out ! dylan : you okay ? nikki : yeah . i 'm fine . ian : well ... interesting . what , do you send your wife in there to do your dirty work ? victor : my wife is the good cop . unfortunately for you , i 'm the other kind . dylan : ian ward is suing you ? on what grounds ? nikki : emotional distress , claiming that i misled him into believing he had fathered a child and pulled the rug out from under him . dylan : that is such crap . it 's unbelievable . nikki : listen , the only reason he was here today was to lay groundwork for his case . dylan : well , then , he wasted his time . i 'm not gon na help him get any kind of payday , either . nikki : well , he 's gon na say you were victimized anyway . i lied to you all these years about your real father . dylan : but i had a dad growing up . might not have been my biological father , but ... nikki , come on . please -- please do n't worry about it . nikki : i ca n't help it . i have complicated your life yet again . dylan : what fun is life without a few curveballs ? i am looking forward to it now that paul and i know the truth . it 's much better than thinking my real father 's a bottom - feeding crook . ian : just for the record , victor , i did n't come here to try and start trouble . victor : just for the record , ian ward ... you 've been nothing but trouble ever since you 've shown your face in this town . ian : that was never my intention . you have to know that . victor : but , you know , the irony is that my family has become stronger , more united . ian : you have such bravado . it must be hard that a friend of the family is the father of your wife 's son . a less secure man might be devastated by that . who knows what it 'll lead to now ? victor : you 're beginning to push your luck . ian : well , i still say -- victor : i do n't give a damn what you say . i said you 're beginning to push your luck . get away from me -- now . nikki : oh , i received the papers . it 's the real deal . he 's suing me . dylan : it 's ridiculous . he ca n't think he has a chance of winning . [ door opens ] dylan : mr. newman , about this idiotic lawsuit -- please -- victor : dylan , there is nothing for you to be concerned about , okay ? ian ward is not gon na bother nikki . but i 'm gon na take you home now . dylan : that 's good . a little peace and quiet for you -- you deserve it . victor : exactly . nikki : you get some rest -- okay ? -- 'cause you have a very big day tomorrow . dylan : yeah . better take it easy so i can go home and rest up some more . nikki : that 's right . [ both chuckle ] victor : uh ... what you did for paul ... was a very brave thing to do . faith : summer ! summer : hi ! hi , girly girl ! how are you ? [ gasps ] let me see your new suit . you look so cute ! hi . sharon : hi . so , taylor and her mom are over there by the slide . see them ? but wait -- before you go , let me put just a little dab of sunscreen on your face . wait a minute . oh , i thought i had more of this . summer : oh , i - i think i have some . sharon : thanks for helping . summer : yeah . no . no problem . come here . okay . perfect . there you go . sharon : okay . have fun . you seem kind of down . is everything okay ? summer : yeah . i 'm just really worried about austin . he 's in a really terrible situation . i mean , i know it 's my own fault that i 'm upset , right ? you probably agree with nick and jack that it was a mistake to marry him and that he 's just using me . sharon : it does n't really matter what i think . you 're an adult . you get to make your own decisions . summer : yeah , but on the inside , you 're probably thinking , `` boy , is she dumb for ever trusting him . `` sharon : you know , i 've made a lot of mistakes since i was your age , so i 'm in no position to judge . but that does n't mean i do n't care . summer : thank you . sharon : i know your mom is n't around , so if you ever need someone to turn to ... summer : thank you . austin 's never even had a parking ticket , so i 'm sure that they 're gon na take that into account , along with the fact that he was grieving , and they 're gon na find another way to punish him without him serving time , right ? sharon : that would be wonderful for you two if things work out that way , but what if they do n't ? summer : then i 'm just gon na wait for austin till he gets out of prison . sharon : did you tell him that ? summer : yeah . of course . i mean , he knows that i love him . sharon : and what about him ? does he love you ? summer : he shows me that he loves me in little ways . sharon : shows you ? summer : yeah . you know , it 's hard for guys to say it . sharon : nick tells me he loves me all the time . it 's important to say it . i 'm gon na go get some sunscreen . will you watch faith for a minute ? summer : yeah . sharon : i should n't be long . paul : travers . austin : chief williams . paul : what are you doing here ? austin : i needed to make sure you 're okay . paul : could n't be better . austin : look , i want you to know just how sorry i am , sir , and how much i wish i had never -- paul : you did . you kidnapped a woman and you took a gun and -- and ... what the hell were you thinking ? you know , it 's not just about my life . it 's about my wife , my family , my friends , not to mention a young man across the hall who is fighting for his own life because of your actions . okay . so , i understand you suffered a devastating loss and the justice system does n't always work , and , yeah , maybe it failed your mother . but where the hell does it say you can take the law into your own hands ? [ door opens ] dylan : what the hell are you doing here ? jack : christine , it 's jack abbott . fine , thank you . i understand paul is improving . oh , what a relief . that 's great news . boy , you have been through a hell of a couple of weeks . listen , i 'm sure you 're eager to get back to the hospital . there 's an issue -- a rather urgent issue -- i need to discuss with you . it 's a legal matter concerning my daughter summer . dylan : you got a lot of nerve showing up here like this . paul : he was just leaving , were n't you , travers ? austin : yeah . paul : what are you doing out of bed ? dylan : well , good thing i was . what 's he want ? paul : actually , i think he came to apologize to us . dylan : i do n't want an apology . i want the kid behind bars . he could have killed avery , and he almost killed you . paul : yeah , but he did n't , thanks to you . dylan : well , uh , i came by to tell you that ... i 'm getting out of here tomorrow , so they say . paul : really ? ! that 's fantastic ! dylan : right . yeah . but i am gon na miss the part where the nurse wakes me up at midnight and asks me if i want a sleeping pill . paul : [ laughs ] yeah , i know what you mean . well , that means when i get out of here , uh ... actually , i - i do n't know where that leaves us . um ... dylan : do i have to buy you another tie once a year ? paul : i do n't know . i got some questions for you , too . i mean , i assume you know how to ride a bicycle . dylan : yes . yes . paul : you know the facts of life . dylan : whoa . hold on . [ both laugh ] paul : do i have to teach you how to throw a slider ? dylan : well , actually -- paul : on second thought , let 's , uh ... i 'm really glad we get to find out . chelsea : [ sighs ] no . booze is n't going to help . billy : oh , yeah ? then what will ? victoria storms out . you say we 're not friends anymore . chelsea : what i 'm saying is it 's more complicated than that , and you know it . last night was n't just some fluke . billy : okay . you 're right . can i have my glass back ? chelsea : no , not until you acknowledge what 's happening between us . billy : okay . if we 're not friends ... then what are we ? chelsea : i 'm through pretending , billy . it was n't just sex for me . victoria : oh , hey . stitch : i was n't expecting to run in to you . victoria : uh , yeah . i 'm just grabbing a quick bite with abby before i go out of town . [ sighs ] stitch : something wrong ? victoria : i stopped by billy 's as a courtesy to let him know that johnny and i were going out of town , and guess what -- chelsea was there . and guess what else -- they 're sleeping together . it 's funny -- i saw that coming way before they did . this whole time billy 's been pointing fingers at us , accusing you of god knows what , he 's just been waiting around for chelsea . and she 's been trying to help him dig up all this dirt on you ? really , she 's just been trying to dig her claws in to him . [ sighs ] does n't that make you furious ? you have nothing to say ? stitch : actually , there is something i want to say . if you are through with billy the way you say you are ... why are you so upset about this ? victoria : [ sighs ] nikki : dear , i do n't want to lie down . victor : what 's the matter with you ? will you humor me , please ? nikki : look , i know you 're only looking after my health , but as i told you before , that 's not why i moved back here -- to be a prisoner in my own house . victor : wait a minute . is that how you think i treat you -- like a prisoner ? is that why you went back to see paul -- to make a point ? nikki : no , victor . i went because i care about him . victor : so do i . but you come first with me . nikki : [ sighs ] and you come first with me . i 'm sorry . it 's just that things are different now . victor : how are they different now ? nikki : paul and i have a son . victor : so ? that does n't change a damn thing . nikki : victor , i know you were listening . it had to have hurt you to hear me tell paul the truth -- that if i had known that dylan was his son , that ... i would n't have given him away . victor : then you and i would never have happened . mariah : hey ! ian : ah ! hello , my dear . i was hoping to hear from you . your first night at chez newman -- how did it go ? mariah : hi . um ... sharon : mariah , i 'm -- i 'm glad you made it . mariah : uh , i do n't know if you two have met . sharon newman , this is ian ward . sharon : i know who he is . ian : well , i 've , uh , heard a great deal about you , too , sharon . it 's a pleasure to finally meet you . sharon : did you find yourself a swimsuit yet ? mariah : no , no . i was just headed to the boutique now . sharon : okay . um ... i will meet you up at the pool on the roof . mariah : okay . great . i 'll , uh -- i 'll see you later . ian : well , i 'm deeply grateful to you and your family for taking an interest in my mariah . sharon : she 's not your mariah -- not anymore . ian : i detect a note of hostility . i wonder where that 's coming from . nick : she gets that from me . ian : hello , nicholas . i admire your impulse to save any damsel you think is in distress , but i meant what i said to sharon . i 'm very appreciative of your kindness and generosity toward mariah . nick : well , i would appreciate it if you stay away from my mother and drop this ridiculous lawsuit . ian : believe it or not , you and i are in complete agreement . sharon : we are ? ian : mariah has a whole new life ahead of her , and i , for one , could n't be more pleased . have a good day . nick : do n't let him get to you . sharon : it 's too late . summer : ooh ! okay . i miss spending time together . things have just been really hectic for austin and me . faith : look at your ring ! summer : yeah . i 'm , uh , married now , faith . faith : but you ca n't be married . there was no real wedding . summer : oh . is this because you were n't a flower girl ? okay . well , it was n't the type of wedding that you see on tv , but it was real in the way that matters , okay ? okay . let 's get you dry . oh , hey . um , okay . uh ... here . austin , this is my little sister , faith , and , faith , this is austin , my new husband . austin : oh . summer 's told me so much about you . faith : my daddy thinks you belong in jail . nice to meet you . i 'm going back to taylor 's blanket . austin : [ chuckles ] well , she 's cute . summer : um , i 'm really sorry about that . austin : no , do n't worry about it . i 'll get used to it , 'cause most people do n't like what i did . summer : well , it does n't matter , okay ? as long as we 're together , it 's okay . austin : yeah . okay . you know , whatever you have to say to me , please -- jack : actually , i have something to say to austin regarding our talk yesterday . summer : your talk ? jack : you did n't tell her ? summer : tell me what ? victoria : i 'm not upset that they slept together . like i said , it was almost comically predictable . but what i hate is billy 's inability to tell the truth . he says he wants me back . what a lying hypocrite . stitch : [ chuckles ] is that something you did n't already know ? victoria : no , but i have no qualms getting a divorce now . stitch : qualms [ chuckles ] now ? you had -- you had qualms before ? victoria : that 's not what i 'm saying , all right ? my marriage is over . it 's emphatically over . [ groans ] stitch : that 's not gon na be easy to get rid of . victoria : it 's the stupidest thing i ever did , aside from the marriage . i knew billy 's history , and there we were , sitting there getting our wedding bands tattooed . talk about ridiculous . billy : i 'm not pretending when i say that i do n't know how i 'm feeling . how 's that for honesty ? chelsea : [ sighs ] when i woke up after we made love last night , i ... was shocked at myself , but not for sleeping with you . i was shocked at how alive i felt . and since adam died , i did n't think that i could feel that alive again . billy : that 's a good thing . chelsea : no . at first , i thought it was , but now , after seeing you with victoria , i realize i 'm kidding myself . billy : chelsea -- chelsea : i know it ca n't happen again -- i understand that -- and i 'm not here to try to make you feel guilty , okay ? i 'm not . and , frankly , i 'm not strong enough to start to care about someone who 's just gon na break my heart again , so ... billy : so , what are you saying ? chelsea : i guess ... what i 'm saying is ... this is goodbye . nikki : victor , i never said that keeping the baby would have meant a future for paul and me . i mean , we were just kids ourselves . we were too young to tie each other down . victor : you know if you had kept the child ... you and i would never have happened . there 'd be no victoria , no nicholas , no grandchildren . nikki : [ voice breaking ] you 're right . victor : baby ... we made our choices , you know ? we ca n't turn back the clock now . and we decided to create a family -- a really wonderful family . nikki : [ sniffles ] victor : we have our ups and downs , but ... i 'm very happy we have our family , okay ? nikki : i know . victor : so , there 's no sense in looking back now . nikki : you 're right . you 're right , as always . i 'm sorry . [ crying ] dylan : well , if you need some rest , you can just , you know , tell me to get lost . paul : [ chuckles ] i will . hey , listen -- the next time you see your friend stitch , tell him to stop in . i want to thank him for everything he did , keeping you alive . dylan : yeah . he had help . paul : really ? from who ? dylan : from you . paul : i have no idea what that means . dylan : you know , uh , when i had the infection ... i was just lying there , out of it , dreaming or something . you know , i did n't know if i was staying , if i was gon na see the light ... but you were there . and you said , `` it 's not time . `` and something made me ... fight harder to stick around , and a big part of that was realizing ... that i wanted to get the chance to know you . austin : look , i was gon na tell you if it ever became necessary . summer : if what became necessary ? jack : austin came to see me yesterday to tell me if he goes to prison , he 's going to divorce you . i thought it was a very brave thing to say , but , on further reflection , i wonder , if you really want to spare her , why you do n't end things now , unless it 's because that would free her up to testify against you . summer : i can not believe that you 're being so hurtful right now . jack : i am doing everything in my power to keep you from getting hurt . and if austin does n't do the right thing , if you insist on continuing with this fraudulent marriage , you 've kind of left me no choice . summer : what did you do ? jack : what i had to do , even if it makes you hate me . i went to the d.a ... summer : what ? ! jack : ... who said there 's every possibility that we could have this marriage overturned . summer : no . no . jack : sweetheart , you and i wo n't decide it . the judge will . i love you too much to let you throw your life away . i hope one day you 'll understand this . nick : so , seeing ian really unnerved you , huh ? sharon : i 'm more upset for mariah 's sake . to think that she grew up with a snake like that as a father figure -- it 's no wonder she made so many wrong turns in life . nick : i would n't wish that snake on anyone . sharon : it just makes me more determined to break whatever hold he think she has on her . nick : i still have my doubts about mariah , but with you fighting for her , ian ward does n't stand a chance . ian : success ? mariah : yes ! i got a swimsuit that is nice but not too nice . ian : ah . mariah : what about you ? i hope sharon did n't give you too hard of a time . ian : well , i 'm getting used to it . what matters to me most is you finding your place in this world . and i 'm so glad sharon 's on your side -- and not just her . mariah : what do you mean ? ian : well , it 's interesting how quickly nick came to your defense . mariah : did he ? ian : mm - hmm . you keep up the good work . victoria : soon as this baby is born , i 'm gon na get this silly tattoo lasered off . stitch : i 've seen a lot of people try to get uninked . it still leaves a scar . victoria : we all have those , do n't we ? stitch : hey , uh ... you know , i 'm glad i got to see you before your trip . victoria : thank you . i 'm gon na miss you . stitch : me too . victoria : and , um ... when i get back , i 'm gon na have a blood test . stitch : then we 'll know whose baby it really is . billy : chelsea , wait . chelsea : why ? what 's the point ? billy , you want victoria . you and me -- it would never work . billy : i do n't want this to be goodbye . chelsea : okay , let 's be honest , okay ? once your wife -- and she is still your wife -- once she gets back from d.c. , she 'll take this paternity test , and let 's say you 're the father . what happens ? you and victoria kiss and make up , and where does that leave me ? billy : i do n't know . chelsea : exactly -- in limbo . and to be honest with you , billy , i ca n't take any more suffering . billy : which is something that we have in common . chelsea : which means what ? ! billy : what i already said -- i do n't want this to be goodbye . [ next_on ] dylan : why is leslie texting you about austin 's case ? summer : i am getting married , abby , in a church today , and i do n't care if nobody shows up . nikki : shut up ! do you hear me ? ! shut up ! michael : nikki , nikki , do not respond . we need to stay calm about this . | at the hospital , victor overhears nikki telling paul that if she had known that the child she was carrying was his then she would never have given it up . paul looks toward the door and sees victor . sharon comes home to pick up faith to take her swimming . faith invites mariah along but sharon has reservations about it until she voices her opinion that she would like to accompany them . sharon offers to buy her a bathing suit but mariah refuses . at jabot , jack and nick discuss summer 's sudden marriage to austin . jack lets nick know that the marriage is legit . summer and austin are at the pool . they discuss his upcoming trial and that jack feels that the marriage is just about getting summer 's money . victor lets nikki and paul know that dylan will soon be released . ben orders ian out of dylan 's room but dylan insists he can handle this . ian puts all the blame on nikki for all of their heartache through the years . nikki walks in and orders ian out of her son 's room . victoria , billy , and chelsea discuss their trip to australia to dig up dirt on ben but then she finds out that billy and chelsea slept together . billy lets victoria know that this is none of her business . victoria tells billy that she will be taking johnny with her to washington to visit with reed so that he and chelsea can have more time together . after victoria storms out , chelsea blames herself and tells billy that their friendship is over . jack tells nick that austin dropped by his office to let him know that if he goes to prison , then he will divorce summer . victor and ian have a confrontation in the corridor of the hospital . | <s>[INST] victoria : tell me i did n't hear what you just said . you slept together ? billy : victoria , listen -- chelsea : maybe i should go . victoria : no , stop . you know what ? do n't say another word . it 's my turn . dylan : so , how 's everything looking ? stitch : pretty good , considering what we had to work with . i 'm going off duty . dylan : well , it 's about time . stitch : [ chuckling ] yeah . it 's been a long one . i 'm gon na go swim some laps -- burn off some tension . dylan : what 's got you so tense ? stitch : the usual . but i 'll feel a lot better once you walk out of here . rumor has it it could be tomorrow . dylan : yeah , that 's what dr. chang said , too . stitch : you lucked out having him as a doctor . the guy really knows his stuff . dylan : well , you need some credit here , too -- all those extra hours you put in , being there for avery . i really appreciate that . thank you . stitch : she and nikki hardly left your side . dylan : yeah . i got to say , it 's nice having so many people i can count on . ian : i hope you can think of me as ... one of them . nikki : when i learned i was pregnant , i just panicked . [ sighs ] i just assumed that it was ian 's . i was so young . it never entered my mind . believe me , if i had known the baby was yours , i would have made a very different decision . i would have kept him and raised him . paul : victor ? sharon : faith , hurry up , sweetie . get your pool stuff or we 're gon na be late meeting your friends . we 're going swimming at the club . do you want to come with us ? sharon : um , faith , mariah 's only been staying with us for one night . we do n't want her to feel obligated to tag along with us every time we go somewhere . mariah : well , i have the day off , and it sounds like fun -- as long as it 's okay with you , of course . sharon : yeah , of course . we 'd love to have you . faith : yay ! i 'll show you how i can swim across the whole pool ! sharon : i think you have a fan . mariah : well , it means a lot that you would include me . uh , there 's just one problem . sharon : what 's that ? mariah : i do n't own a bathing suit . sharon : oh . well , that 's not a problem . i saw some really cute ones at lauren 's boutique . why do n't you go and pick one out and then you can meet us at the pool ? i 'll give you the money . mariah : no , no . sharon , i -- that 's very sweet of you to offer , but i owe you so much already . i could n't possibly accept . sharon : yes , you can . you know what ? it 's a gift , so take it . mariah : thank you so much . sharon : you 're very welcome . mariah : is nick coming ? sharon : maybe later . he has a family thing he has to do . nick : someone married this guy ? jack : can you believe it ? nick : when did this happen ? how long have you known ? jack : i did n't see the point in ruining your holiday , but now that i 've told you about this , we need to figure out a way to handle it . nick : `` we `` ? jack : summer is living in a fantasy world . she has decided that kidnapping a prominent attorney and shooting the chief of police is gon na get her husband a slap on the wrist . she 's decided that he 's gon na probably pick up trash on the de of the road for 90 days and then the two of them are gon na sail off into the sunset . nick : you 're kidding me . jack : i 'm afraid not . this guy is gon na do real time -- hard time . she refuses to face reality , and nothing i say will get through to her . nick : and you think i can get through to her ? jack : whether it 's you or me or the two of us working together , we have to find some way to end this sham of a marriage . nick , i need to know you 're with me on this . nick : look , jack , i know you 're coming at me out of love for summer , but there 's really only so much we can do . jack : not you , too . i have had this conversation with kelly . abby has chimed in . nick : and ? jack : they both advised me to back off , to let this so - called relationship run its course . nick : which is obviously advice you do n't agree with . jack : i just -- i tried to hear their perspective . they were both teenagers once . they know better than i do what goes through the mind of a girl that age . but i 'm her father . i ca n't in good conscience stand by and watch her throw away her future . nick : if summer were underage , i would rip that marriage license to shreds . jack : that marriage license is legit . the marriage itself is a joke . do you know why they ran off and got married ? if they 're married , summer ca n't be compelled to testify against austin -- that and , of course , her trust fund provides a handy source of cash for his legal fees . nick : there 's more to it than that . summer looked me in the eye , and she told me that she loves this guy . jack : i 'm sure summer believes that . look , i was 19 once , too . i know how powerful it is to fall in love for the first time . but this is summer 's life -- her whole future . we need to look out for her . now , look -- i was able to cut off her funds once . maybe if the two of us go to the bank together -- nick : it 's not gon na work . trust me . it 'll just make her dig her heels in deeper . does it sound like someone else we know ? jack : if only phyllis were here to fix this . nick : well , i can guarantee you phyllis would n't be running to the bank to freeze funds . jack : then help me find another way . the two of them got married to get around the law . maybe that 's illegal . between the two of us , we can find a judge who can listen to this and -- nick : no . no . if your plan is to take summer to court , then you can count me out . summer : okay , hurry up , because i want to return the favor and rub oil all over my husband . i love that word -- `` husband . `` do n't you ? hey . are you okay ? austin : uh , yeah . i just have a lot on my mind . summer : i know . me too . just try not to worry , okay ? look , i have enough money to pay leslie for her to keep you out of prison , and now that i do n't have to testify against you -- austin : do n't you get it ? that 's all your dad thinks i want from you -- money and to keep you quiet . summer : who cares what other people think ? when you love someone , you give what you have to keep them safe , and all i have is you . austin : what do i have to give you , summer ? nothing but trouble . i do n't want to burden you with that . summer : will you stop , please ? okay , it 's not a burden to be your wife . look , when i look at you , i see everything that i 've ever wanted . austin : will you be okay for a bit ? there 's something i need to do . summer : yeah . nikki : oh , victor . i was just talking to paul . victor : hello , sweetheart . nikki : [ chuckles ] victor : so , i tried to convince her to stay home and get some rest , but she insisted on seeing how you were doing . from what i can see , you 're doing rather well . nikki : yes , he is . paul : i am . victor : i have some other good news , and that is that dylan , one of the nurses told me , is about to be released , perhaps even tomorrow . nikki : oh , my god . that 's wonderful ! paul : that sure is . that 's great . victor : yeah . and now i think we should go home and let him some rest , okay ? paul : yeah , and you should probably get some rest , too . victor 's right -- you need to take care of yourself . victor : right ? stitch : are you gon na leave quietly ? ian : or what -- you gon na call security ? stitch : no . i 'm gon na throw you out myself , and i 'll enjoy it . dylan : stitch , i can handle it . what do you want ? ian : i understand your anger , and i share it . it was nikki who set you on a path that led to me , and ever since then , all i 've wanted is a relationship with my miracle son . and now that the bitter truth is out , i just came to tell you that i do n't find you responsible for any of it . and i 'm not gon na change my will . i 'm not gon na walk away . i still want us to try to have a relationship . dylan : well , do n't . ian : you and i are victims of the same irresponsible woman . do n't you see it ? the woman who led us to believe that we were related by blood , when all along , she knew -- nikki : get away from my son ! victoria : the two of you went to australia . i could have told you what would happen . what did you call it -- a fact - finding mission ? chelsea : that 's what it was . victoria : oh , yeah ? did you find a lot of facts under the covers ? chelsea : we went there to help you see which man you can trust and which you ca n't . victoria : oh . billy : you know what ? you could have trusted me , but you put your faith in stitch , who has been lying to you all along . victoria : this is n't about ben . this is about you , billy . whenever anything goes wrong , you go find a warm bed and a willing girl to make it all feel better , do n't you ? billy : you know what ? this is n't any of your business . you slept with stitch , kicked me out of our house , filed for divorce , so it seems to me that you do n't have any room to complain if i 've started a relationship of my own . victoria : oh . is that what this is ? is this a relationship ? billy : i do n't owe you an explanation . victoria : right . you do n't owe me an explanation . i just came by to remind you that i 'm taking johnny to see reed , so you and chelsea will have a few days to find all the facts that you want . billy : what the hell have i done ? [ sighs ] it feels like every time i see her , i just push her further away . chelsea : i am partly to blame , but you should have said something . billy : like what ? chelsea : anything . i did n't know victoria was here , or else i would n't have brought up what happened last night . billy : i 'm not blaming you . you 've been a good friend . chelsea : not anymore . nick : summer is determined to do things her own way , like her mother . but , like phyllis , she 's also very smart . once austin gets convicted and sent away , summer 's gon na realize they do n't have a future together . she will end things on her own . jack : this guy came to me and told me if he goes to prison , he 's gon na divorce summer -- let her go . nick : well , that 's something . jack : i 'm not sure i can believe him . and now my concern is if this ploy that they 've cooked up actually works and summer avoids taking the witness stand , he could get off . nick : given the severity of the crime and all the other witnesses , i highly doubt the prosecutor is gon na need summer 's testimony to put this guy away . he is going down . jack : we hope . nick : in the meantime , summer is an adult in the eyes of the law . now , i understand that you want to do everything you can to prevent summer from making a big mistake , but i see you making a big mistake of your own . jack : how do you figure that ? nick : the more you force this issue , the more you risk driving summer away . now , look , i got to go , but , jack , if she has to choose between you -- no offense -- a father she barely knows and this guy she thinks she 's in love with ... think about it . dylan : let me handle this , nikki . i do n't want you caught in the middle . nikki : i warned you last time to stay away from my son -- my son , not yours ! ian : you hear the venom coming out of her mouth ? she desperately needs to create a villain when you and i are the wounded parties . she has chosen to lie about your paternity and made us both suffer for it . dylan : the only suffering is gon na be yours if you do n't leave my mother alone . ian : [ sighs ] [ chuckles ] you had such promise once . what a waste . nikki : get out ! dylan : you okay ? nikki : yeah . i 'm fine . ian : well ... interesting . what , do you send your wife in there to do your dirty work ? victor : my wife is the good cop . unfortunately for you , i 'm the other kind . dylan : ian ward is suing you ? on what grounds ? nikki : emotional distress , claiming that i misled him into believing he had fathered a child and pulled the rug out from under him . dylan : that is such crap . it 's unbelievable . nikki : listen , the only reason he was here today was to lay groundwork for his case . dylan : well , then , he wasted his time . i 'm not gon na help him get any kind of payday , either . nikki : well , he 's gon na say you were victimized anyway . i lied to you all these years about your real father . dylan : but i had a dad growing up . might not have been my biological father , but ... nikki , come on . please -- please do n't worry about it . nikki : i ca n't help it . i have complicated your life yet again . dylan : what fun is life without a few curveballs ? i am looking forward to it now that paul and i know the truth . it 's much better than thinking my real father 's a bottom - feeding crook . ian : just for the record , victor , i did n't come here to try and start trouble . victor : just for the record , ian ward ... you 've been nothing but trouble ever since you 've shown your face in this town . ian : that was never my intention . you have to know that . victor : but , you know , the irony is that my family has become stronger , more united . ian : you have such bravado . it must be hard that a friend of the family is the father of your wife 's son . a less secure man might be devastated by that . who knows what it 'll lead to now ? victor : you 're beginning to push your luck . ian : well , i still say -- victor : i do n't give a damn what you say . i said you 're beginning to push your luck . get away from me -- now . nikki : oh , i received the papers . it 's the real deal . he 's suing me . dylan : it 's ridiculous . he ca n't think he has a chance of winning . [ door opens ] dylan : mr. newman , about this idiotic lawsuit -- please -- victor : dylan , there is nothing for you to be concerned about , okay ? ian ward is not gon na bother nikki . but i 'm gon na take you home now . dylan : that 's good . a little peace and quiet for you -- you deserve it . victor : exactly . nikki : you get some rest -- okay ? -- 'cause you have a very big day tomorrow . dylan : yeah . better take it easy so i can go home and rest up some more . nikki : that 's right .

'cause we both know it was n't out of the goodness of his heart . chance : i believe colin had another angle that he was playing . i just found out that the money that was transferred to devon did n't come from one of colin 's accounts . it was moved by some of his old colleagues . jill : well , what does that mean , exactly ? chance : i think it means that colin never planned to keep the money in the first place . jill : honey , that does n't make any sense . what would be the point of him stealing the money and then giving it back ? chance : colin 's real plan is what he did with the money in between . jill : oh , good god . why did n't i think of that earlier ? chance : he laundered it . jill : [ sighs ] kyle : [ chuckles ] i know we keep saying this , but we really , really do need to tone it down to work . summer : i know . it was my fault this time . kyle : eh ... i was right there with you . summer : well , you 're just so irresistible . i know . i know . we will try harder next time . kyle : mm - hmm .

[ both chuckle ] abby : and ? lola : we all survived . abby : well , you are a much better person than i am , because i would have bolted the door shut and made kyle and summer sit in the freezing rain . lola : no , you would n't have . you would have felt too guilty . abby : well , it must have made it a little easier having theo around . lola : oh , i know where this is going , and you can stop right now . abby : what ? lola : my marriage to kyle is n't officially over . and even though it is nice to have someone to share things with , i really do n't need a man in my life right now . and if i ever do think about getting involved with anyone else , i just want to take my time , and i will never rush into anything ever again . jack : theo , i want you to know i am not making any accusations here . theo : no offense , jack , but it kind of feels like you are . i do n't hate kyle . i just -- he 's a little full of himself . jack : and you feel it 's your job to take him down a peg ? theo : i kid around , you know ? he takes offense . i mean , come on . if i 'm really the worst thing that 's ever happened to him , then kyle 's led a really charmed life . jack : and that 's what you think -- he 's a rich kid who does not deserve what he has ? theo : no , i never said that . jack : that was n't my question . theo : let 's just say kyle has never had to do a lot of hustling . jack : you 're right . kyle has had certain advantages . that does not mean he has n't had setbacks and disappointments just like everyone else . take summer , for example . he 's loved that girl for a long time . they have had their ups and downs , but still they have managed to care for each other . theo : okay . then -- then -- then why 'd he marry lola ? jack : because he thought he was in love with her . theo : he loves summer ... he loves lola ... and then he , what , changes his mind again ? jack : it would be wonderful if we were all so self - aware that we could look into the future and see where everything was headed . no heartbreak , no upset -- just full speed ahead . my point is , theo , you can follow your heart with the best of intentions ... and still hurt people ... you never wanted to hurt . anyway , i 'm just saying i think you need to stop focusing on what kyle has or does n't have and use your energy to focus on succeeding with your goals . theo : i hear you , jack . jack : i mean it , theo . let it go . `` the young and the restless `` will continue . `` the young and the restless `` will continue . jill : money laundering ? colin used devon 's inheritance to launder dirty money ?

'cause we have to assemble a staff for all these projects you just created out of thin air . i mean , the ideas are great , but it 's the follow - through that i 'm concerned about . without that , we have nothing . abby : hi ! lola : hey , abby . what 's up ? abby : i , um , have some news . lola : is it good news ? abby : it is great news . i have sold my shares on the grand phoenix to phyllis , and i am building a new hotel across the street . lola : uh , wow . why ? abby : i - i did n't want to spend the next few years of my life dealing with phyllis , so i decided to beat her at her own game . lola : hmm . well , i think you 've made a wise choice . abby : it feels right to me , too . lola : so , what does this mean for society ? abby : that 's why i 'm here . [ chuckles ] it 's one of the things that we need to talk about . lola : one of the things ? kyle : these ca n't possibly be the sales figures for the new skincare line . summer : they sure can be . kyle : [ chuckles ] they 're epic ! it 's the biggest opening for a new jabot product in years . summer : 12 years , to be exact , yes . kyle : [ sighs ] you ... are a marketing genius . summer : mm , i have my moments . kyle : mm . thank you for making me look good . summer : well , i think you always look good ... even with your clothes on . kyle : mm . summer : mm - hmm .

[ chuckles ] dumb question . tessa : did she think that she would say , `` i 'm sorry `` and it would just fix everything ? tanner : i think mariah is sorry , for whatever that 's worth . tessa : well , it 's too late for that , so ... tanner : if you say so . tessa : she just wanted an excuse to sleep with somebody else , so she just ... imagined that you and i were together . tanner : we did post some photos to make it look like it was a possibility . tessa : we were just creating buzz . it -- it -- it was n't real . tanner : what if i were to tell you that it is , at least for me ? theo : uh , no worries , jack . we were just tossing around the idea of kyle reviving the , uh , birthday suit sunblock campaign . kyle : which , of course , i 'm not even considering . summer : well , um , the numbers came in for the new cosmetics line . jack : and ? summer : and ... jack : wow ! wow ! we have n't had a launch like this in ... theo : 12 years , i think . kyle : well , great job , everyone . kyle : summer and i have a few more details to iron out before we give you our report , though . yes , right . we do . jack : do n't let me keep you . summer : okay . jack : no , theo . you stay . i always dreamed of additional sponsorship jack : fine . i 'll talk to summer and kyle later . right now , i want to know why it is we 're still having this conversation . theo : what conversation ? jack : about you using every opportunity you see to bust kyle 's chops , to get in his face , to goad him . theo : i ... kid around . kyle takes it personally . i mean , he used to have a better sense of humor back in the day . jack : what is it ? is it jealousy ? theo : no . jack : are you sure about that ? theo : oh , come on . do i not seem like most confident man you 've ever met ? jack : okay . i believe you . if it 's jealousy , that would imply that you want something that kyle has . i know that is n't the case , certainly not where summer 's concerned . am i right ? theo : uh , no . may they live happily ever after . jack : then what is it , theo ? kyle : what 's what ? jack : i have my theory , if you 're interested . theo : yeah , no . sure . jack : what i sense from you is something far more dangerous , more destructive than simple jealousy . it 's resentment -- the need to see someone else fail and lose what they have . theo : you think that 's how i feel about kyle ? jack : you tell me . convince me that i 'm wrong . abby : i want to use society as a template for all the other restaurants i plan on opening when my new hotel is finished , and i want to bring you in to consult . look , i know that would mean that there would be a lot more on your plate , and with you trying to open your own place in miami , i - i just -- i ca n't imagine doing this with anyone else . lola : i ca n't believe this . abby : it 's a lot to process , so just go ahead and take your time . think about it . lola : no ! abby : no , you do n't even want to consider it ? lola : no , i mean i do n't even need time to think about it ! of course i would do it ! i would be thrilled , abby ! abby : really ? ! lola : yes ! abby : ohh ! come here . i am so happy that you said yes . lola : i ca n't believe you thought there was a chance that i wouldn't . abby : well , i would n't blame you if you did n't want to do it . it would mean spending a lot more time in genoa city , and i just -- i was n't sure if that 's something that you wanted to do . lola : there are flights back and forth to miami every single day . i can make it work . abby : i am so happy and grateful , and we are going to crush it . lola : amen to that . abby : yes . lola : and you will be doing a lot of multitasking , as well , between , you know , building your empire and making time for chance , assuming things are still going well . abby : well , we are having fun together . i enjoy spending time with him , and he has restored my faith in relationships . lola : well , that 's a pretty big deal by itself . abby : yeah . i was starting to doubt my judgment , thinking there must be something the matter with me for always picking the wrong guy . lola : oh . so , does this mean he could be the right one ? abby : [ sighs ] [ both chuckle ] jill : ah , chance . so ... you have news about colin ? have you figured out why he gave back to devon 's inheritance ? 'cause we both know it was n't out of the goodness of his heart . chance : i believe colin had another angle that he was playing . i just found out that the money that was transferred to devon did n't come from one of colin 's accounts . it was moved by some of his old colleagues . jill : well , what does that mean , exactly ? chance : i think it means that colin never planned to keep the money in the first place . jill : honey , that does n't make any sense . what would be the point of him stealing the money and then giving it back ? chance : colin 's real plan is what he did with the money in between . jill : oh , good god . why did n't i think of that earlier ? chance : he laundered it . jill : [ sighs ] kyle : [ chuckles ] i know we keep saying this , but we really , really do need to tone it down to work . summer : i know . it was my fault this time . kyle : eh ... i was right there with you . summer : well , you 're just so irresistible . i know . i know . we will try harder next time . kyle : mm - hmm . [ both chuckle ] kyle : [ sighs ] summer : [ sighs ] kyle : so ... how 'd it go with tessa ? summer : um , i hope that you guys are able to work everything out . mariah : you told her what happened ? kyle : i - i - i did n't realize it was a secret . mariah : i did n't realize i have to ask you to keep things that i tell you about my private life private . summer : oh . well , i have n't talked to anybody else about you and tessa , so ... kyle : and neither have i. i 'm sorry for sharing something that you wanted to keep confidential . mariah : i guess you two are a package deal now . i have to start calling you by some cutesy internet name , like `` kymmer `` or `` skyle . `` summer : okay . uh , well , believe it or not , we both are rooting for you , so ... mariah : mm - hmm . summer : um , hey . i think that you and tessa are great together , and i know i 'm gon na regret admitting this later , um , but the way that you two have worked through many obstacles is really inspiring . mariah : well , inspiring you to get back together with kyle was n't exactly ... one of my relationship goals . kyle : what did tessa say when you apologized ? mariah : mm . this will amuse you . she said that there was once a time in her life where she would have deserved being cheated on . but now she is stronger and she 's more sure of herself . kyle : okay . mariah : you do n't get it ? kyle : get what ? mariah : tessa ca n't forgive me ... because of me , so i 'm my own worst enemy once again . kyle : i 'm ... sorry . mariah : yeah , well , it was a long shot anyway . summer : i know that we 're not close , and i know that you are hurting right now , but , you know , you have family that 's gon na support you through this and friends and -- mariah : oh , my god . no , no . [ sniffles ] please , no . do n't tell me to buck up and just move on , because ... that means that you really think it 's hopeless . how do you get skin happy 24/7 ? mariah : you know this is all your fault . [ sniffles ] why did you give me that big pep talk ... and tell me to go talk to tessa if you did n't think it would make any difference ? kyle : i told you to apologize to tessa because that 's what she deserved . you knew there were no guarantees . mariah : well ... if that 's the kind of support you 're talking about , i think i can live without it . summer : hey , we 're just here to listen . mariah : there 's nothing left to say . i screwed up . [ voice breaking ] i took the most beautiful thing in my life , and i tossed a grenade in the middle of it . would you stop looking at me that way ? summer : what -- what way ? mariah : with pity ! you do n't get to pity me ... because i do n't need your sympathy . i do n't need -- [ sniffles ] i do n't need anybody 's . [ crying ] tessa : so , run this by me again . you wanted ... mariah ... to think that something was going on between you and me ? tanner : worked out even better than i hoped . tessa : so ... the photos you posted and you answering the phone -- that was all part of some master plan ? tanner : we 've always had chemistry , tessa . tessa : you 're so full of it , tanner . tanner : what ? tessa : what ? what ? this -- whatever this is . tanner : it 's me confessing my feelings for you . tessa : you used to be a better liar . tanner : okay . fine . you got me . tessa : okay . well -- well , why did you do that ? tanner : because i know you , and from where i sit , you 're blowing it . tessa : i 'm not the one who slept with somebody else . tanner : you and mariah love each other . it 's the real deal . so she messed up . she 's trying to make it right . have n't we all done that ? have n't you ? billy : so you think i 'm all sizzle and no steak -- that 's your diagnosis ? lily : i never said that . billy : well , you sure did imply it . i do n't know if you recall , but i did a pretty damn good job at restless style , not to mention i was one of the executives at brash & sassy that hired you to be the face of the brand . lily : oh , sorry . is -- is bringing up my modeling your way of putting me in my place ? because i think we 've already discussed my qualifications . and being a spokesperson for a brand is much more than just posing for pictures . i was making public appearances and representing the brand to the media , which i think gives me very useful experience opening a media division , something that you do n't really have . billy : i 'm just stating facts , lily . do n't get so defensive . lily : no , i 'm not . i mean , if you want to go there , we can talk about your brilliant tenure at jabot . but , actually , let 's not do that , because whatever happened then , to me , is ancient history . billy : actually , i implemented some very successful marketing ideas , not to mention launched the very successful boutiques . i kept the profits strong . i am very proud of what i did there . lily : i never said you didn't . i 'm saying this is a new division and it 's a clean slate . billy : which you think i need ? lily : which i think we both need . i think that 's why jill brought us together to work as a team . so why do n't we start doing that ? billy : sure . let 's start doing that . lily : okay , great . so , where do you want to begin ? billy : why do n't we start with your projection on the ad revenue we can generate in this current climate ? lily : um [ sighs ] well , i mean , you know , i think that if everything clicks , then maybe , in a couple years , it could be ... eight figures . but we ca n't just focus on the bottom line . we have to also think outside the box , which i think is cause - related marketing . tying our company to a nonprofit will boost our image . billy : okay . it sounds like you know what you 're talking about . lily : well , you seem very surprised by that . billy : maybe a little bit . lily : okay . do you think after everything i 've been through , i would just waltz in here and wing it ? this is not a win for me , billy . i 'm not here to dabble until something better comes along . billy : and you think that i fly by the seat of my pants ? are we talking about my personal life and business ? lily : what ? billy : okay , let me get something straight . i did not leave jabot on a whim . i did not leave victoria on a whim . besides my kids , this is the most important thing in my life right now , and i am not here just to pass the time . sharon : what ? rey : you know , i still ca n't believe that i 'm the lucky guy that gets to look at your beautiful face every day . sharon : well , i feel pretty lucky , too . rey : [ sighs ] just know that my feelings for you ... desiring you , wanting you to be in my arms ... that 's not gon na change .

[ chuckles ] it 's okay . it 's alright . you know what ? i got to drop by the station anyway and check up on some things . i 'll come by later . sharon : okay . rey : see you . bye . mariah : see ya . sharon : ohh . abby : look , i do n't want to over analyze my relationship with chance . i just -- i want to enjoy it . lola : well , then that 's what you should do ... not that i 'm anyone to be giving relationship advice . abby : it must be so hard seeing kyle and summer together . i 'm sorry . we do n't have to talk about them . lola : it 's okay . i still have my moments of sadness ... of thinking about what could have been . but then i take a step back and look at things objectively . those two belong together . abby : still . lola : it 's okay . things are getting easier . you know , i even gave shelter to kyle and summer the other night . abby : you 're kidding . lola : oh , no . yeah . all four of us rode out that storm together . abby : wait a second . all four of you ? lola : theo was there , too . abby : okay . i would have bought a ticket to see that . lola : yeah . you know , i think the universe was testing me to see if i could handle it . [ both chuckle ] abby : and ? lola : we all survived . abby : well , you are a much better person than i am , because i would have bolted the door shut and made kyle and summer sit in the freezing rain . lola : no , you would n't have . you would have felt too guilty . abby : well , it must have made it a little easier having theo around . lola : oh , i know where this is going , and you can stop right now . abby : what ? lola : my marriage to kyle is n't officially over . and even though it is nice to have someone to share things with , i really do n't need a man in my life right now . and if i ever do think about getting involved with anyone else , i just want to take my time , and i will never rush into anything ever again . jack : theo , i want you to know i am not making any accusations here . theo : no offense , jack , but it kind of feels like you are . i do n't hate kyle . i just -- he 's a little full of himself . jack : and you feel it 's your job to take him down a peg ? theo : i kid around , you know ? he takes offense . i mean , come on . if i 'm really the worst thing that 's ever happened to him , then kyle 's led a really charmed life . jack : and that 's what you think -- he 's a rich kid who does not deserve what he has ? theo : no , i never said that . jack : that was n't my question . theo : let 's just say kyle has never had to do a lot of hustling . jack : you 're right . kyle has had certain advantages . that does not mean he has n't had setbacks and disappointments just like everyone else . take summer , for example . he 's loved that girl for a long time . they have had their ups and downs , but still they have managed to care for each other . theo : okay . then -- then -- then why 'd he marry lola ? jack : because he thought he was in love with her . theo : he loves summer ... he loves lola ... and then he , what , changes his mind again ? jack : it would be wonderful if we were all so self - aware that we could look into the future and see where everything was headed . no heartbreak , no upset -- just full speed ahead . my point is , theo , you can follow your heart with the best of intentions ... and still hurt people ... you never wanted to hurt . anyway , i 'm just saying i think you need to stop focusing on what kyle has or does n't have and use your energy to focus on succeeding with your goals . theo : i hear you , jack . jack : i mean it , theo . let it go . `` the young and the restless `` will continue . `` the young and the restless `` will continue . jill : money laundering ? colin used devon 's inheritance to launder dirty money ? [ scoffs ] chance : it seems that that was the idea all along . jill : is there any proof of that ? chance : nothing solid -- not yet . but based on his actions ... it all fits -- the people he was working with ... and you . jill : me ? why me ? chance : did colin ever have access to chancellor industries ' banking accounts ? jill : oh , god . yeah . he had limited access to my personal a - account , but he 's colin . of course he could figure out how to hack in to the business accounts . lord , what an idiot i have been . chance : do n't blame yourself . jill : oh , who else am i supposed to blame , huh ? i knew who he was . i went back to him . [ sighs ] tell me how bad it is , chance . chance : a very large amount of money has just passed through the chancellor business accounts . look , i know that you did n't have knowledge of this , but it does n't mean that the authorities wo n't see it this way . jill : that bastard . that bastard . chance : you need to contact your accountants and your attorneys to get in front of this , just in case . jill : am i gon na go to prison ? chance : no . the only person going to prison is colin . jill : yeah , if we ever catch him . chance : you leave that to me . tanner : you okay ? tessa : hmm ? tanner : you know , um ... it was n't all a lie , you know . tessa : what ? tanner : me thinking we might reconnect . tessa : could you give it up ? tanner : [ chuckles ] i 'm serious , though , tess . you know , when i first thought about us touring together , i - i did fantasize about us being on the road together , making music together -- i do n't know -- maybe having a life together . [ sighs ] i mean , i know i 've got a great girlfriend , but , you know , old dreams die hard . tessa : that one never stood a chance . tanner : [ chuckling ] i know . but then i ... i saw you and mariah together , and ... i knew how much you guys loved each other . you two belong together . listen , i ... i know you 're in pain right now , but you can get past this . tessa : no . i can't . and i do n't think i ever will . mariah : [ crying ] i really messed up . i messed up so bad . sharon : i know those tears . i have cried them so , so many times . you know , i 've done things that i regret , and this ... will not define you , mariah . this is not the rest of your life . you made a mistake . mariah : no , this is worse than a mistake . i messed up the most beautiful , precious thing in my life . sharon : and you will find happiness again . mariah : i do n't want it . i do n't deserve it . sharon : yes , you do . and it may not seem like it right now , but one day you are going to learn and grow from this . mariah : i just miss her so much . sharon : i know you do . mariah : i just thought if i -- if i let tessa know how sorry i was , how ashamed ... then maybe she would forgive me . sharon : well , maybe you both just need a little bit of time to heal . mariah : no . no . there 's no coming back from this . i just have to accept that it 's over . sharon : i 'm sorry . mariah : but you 're right . you 're right . i 'm gon na get over this ... p [ sniffles ] and i just need to , um -- to move on . sharon : come here . mariah : [ sniffles ] [ cellphone chimes ] oh . sharon : who is it ? mariah : um ... it 's devon . sharon : mm . mariah : uh , he hooked me up with -- with this hotshot entrepreneur for a job interview , and ... that guy just , uh , offered me a job . sharon : what ? ! that 's terrific ! congratulations ! what will you be doing ? mariah : i 'm not -- i 'm not taking it . sharon : really ? why ? mariah : yeah . it 's just -- it 's not the right fit right now . sharon : oh . is that right , or ... is there some other reason you 're turning the job down ? lily : you know what ? i 'm gon na call a truce . billy : calling a truce would mean we 're fighting . lily : uh , i think we were getting pretty close there . billy : oh , i do n't know . maybe just setting a few things straight . lily : okay . for the record , i would never insinuate that your breakup with victoria was anything other than heartbreaking for both of you . and i think given my history with cain , i 'm not in the place to judge anyone 's relationship . billy : yeah , i was gon na bring that up . lily : right , but you didn't . billy : well , you started to be nice . lily : excuse me ? i 'm always nice . billy : okay , look , i understand one of the reasons why my mother offered me this job was to stop me from running off the cliff before i was able to come to my senses . but what she does n't understand is that i have come to my senses . okay ? this is me . this is who i am . this is what people are gon na get . i am stepping out of the shadows of my family 's expectations . i am not burning down my life ... but i do intend to live it . lily : okay . well , i say , `` good for you . it 's about time . `` who has time for wrinkles ? billy : thank you . lily : for what ? billy : for getting it , for getting me . lily : well , according to you , jill 's not there yet , so this is an opportunity to show her that you do n't need to come to your senses . billy : but if she stopped worrying about me , it would be a nice fringe benefit . lily : yeah , which means that we have to show her a strategy and a business plan , not just a bunch of ideas , no matter how good they are . billy : no , i agree . but if you do n't stop thinking small , we 're not gon na go anywhere . lily : who said anything about small ? billy : maybe i misheard you , then . lily : okay . well , i 'll speak more clearly , then . billy : you hungry ? lily : [ chuckles ] um , yes . i am starving , actually . billy : how does chinese sound ? lily : um , sure . billy : okay . what do you like ? lily : um [ clears throat ] usually i get the chicken with black mushrooms , maybe some bok choy ... billy : bok choy ? lily : [ chuckles ] ... and , uh , spring rolls , yeah ? billy : sounds great . lily : okay . billy : see ? we can agree on a few things . lily : yeah .

[ chuckles ] reed : no . nah , it -- [ chuckles ] it was n't that good . zoey : you saw it without me ? reed : uh -- kendall : what 's up , guys ? zoey : uh , reed and i were just deciding what movie to see this weekend . what 's up with you ? kendall : n - nothing . zoey : you look weird . kendall : oh , well , something did happen . on my way over here . some jerk cut me off when he was on his phone . totally had to swerve and slam on the brakes . zoey : sounds like you need a triple cappuccino after all that drama . kendall : right ? i did n't see the reed - mobile in the parking lot . zoey : witch mama did n't change her mind about letting you keep it ? reed : no , she did n't . i 'm cruising around in the mom - mobile today . kendall : oh , my god . is it a mini van ? reed : no , it 's actually not that bad . zoey : did you have to bribe her to take it , or what ? reed : well , i actually did catch her in , uh , kind of a situation . zoey : gross ! [ laughs ] reed : no ! not that . she and her coworker got wasted last night . so this morning , i started jamming and really cranked it up , and , uh , did n't take long for her to throw me the keys and tell me to leave . zoey : sounds like you need to get her drunk every night . [ both laugh ] reed : i 'm gon na have to split soon . zoey : no . stay . reed : i wish i could , but i do n't want to be late for my lesson . all right , how about i get one more round of coffees , and then i 'll go ?

zoey : i 'll buy you like five more . come on . i would do it for you . kendall : sure . when reed gets back , i 'm outtie . zoey : you 're the best . ravi : victor has a reputation for being ruthless , but to his own children ? ashley : oh , yeah . if you do n't bend to his will or sometimes you might disappoint him , he 'll treat you just like any other employee or business rival . probably worse , actually , because you 're family and you should know better . ravi : who would want to live and work in an environment like that ? ashley : i did . twice . ravi : that still blows my mind that you were married to victor newman . ashley : [ chuckles ] yeah , mine , too , sometimes . see , i thought i could change him with my love . ravi : but it did n't ? ashley : no . it 's basically victor 's world , and you just choose to live in it or not . my fear is that abby is immersing herself in it completely . ravi : could be detrimental to her happiness . ashley : she 's just really insecure , you know , right now . she keeps comparing herself to her sister victoria . i think she 's trying so hard to impress her father , and i want to be there for her . she will not let me in . ravi : what if i talked to her ?

abby : [ sighs ] the project . i wanted to rent out office space to tech start- ups . newman makes the initial investment , and then we get a percentage of their profits . jack : that sounds like a great idea . all you need is one company to hit it big . the profits could be huge . abby : yes , thank you . i tried to tell that to my dad and victoria . jack : but sometimes none of them hit , and then you lose your shirt . abby : yeah , but any investment has a risk . if you 're really passionate about something , should n't you pursue it ? jack : following my business instincts have rarely led me down a path i did n't want to go . and they 've made me a lot of money . fenmore 's is an example . abby : and my mom was n't thrilled about that , was she ? jack : no , she was n't . we disagreed a lot . abby : but you were right . jack : and i tell her that every single day . is this about your mom ? is she the one that talked you into backing out of this ? abby : not in so many words . jack : why do n't you tell me what words she did use ? abby : she gave me some advice , or i thought she did , and i guess i took it too literally , and now i have this warehouse , and i need to sell it before my dad finds out . jack : finds out that you used newman funds to buy it behind his back . kevin : i was n't defending chloe . billy : you should look up the definition of `` defending , `` kevin . kevin : what i 'm trying to say is that this is not as black and white as you 're making it out to be . chloe 's not some evil mastermind . billy : oh , really ? kevin : no ! she 's sick ! she needs help ! anyone who could do what she did to adam then turn around and be friends with chelsea is not normal . billy : well , there we go . we agree on something . kevin : it 's someone who 's trying desperately hard to be normal . that 's why she wanted to get married . she wanted a husband , a house , a family so that people would accept her ! billy : so what are you , then ? are you just a prop in this situation ? i mean , is that what bella is ? do we even know if bella is chloe 's daughter ? ! kevin : there is no doubt in my mind that chloe is bella 's mom ! and i get that you 're angry , okay ? ! i am , too ! but we ca n't forget that there is a little girl at the center of all this , and she is what matters now ! and kids are smart ! they pick up on stuff , especially when people are angry ! so if she is yours , you better pull it together , because i 'm not gon na let her see you like this ! chloe left bella behind because she had to . and now she 's trying to do right by her . these letters were an act of love . she 's not trying to stick it to you one last time .

[ laughs ] hmm . billy : if i found out that bella was my daughter , i would have done everything i could for her . but i have to admit i 'm relieved . when delia died , chloe tried to just -- she wanted to just try and replace her . i told her that was impossible , that delia was irreplaceable . but obviously she tried anyway . phyllis : that would have been so hard to forget , trying to raise bella . billy : i would have tried to be a good dad , but it would have been a constant reminder about what i lost . phyllis : you are a great father . that 's one of the best things you do . billy : it looks like something went right this time . bella and kevin will be together with the daughter that kevin always wanted . it 's the best thing for her . best thing for me . phyllis : come here . esther : you -- you 're bella 's father ? kevin : mm - hmm . the dna test was conclusive . esther : that 's wonderful news , kevin . oh , that means you 're her aunt and uncle . oh , and she has cousins ! michael : [ laughs ] do n't forget grandma gloria . lauren : oh , yeah , we ca n't forget her . i 'm sure she 's gon na want a hug later . michael : yes , she will . esther : oh , yeah . right . you know , um , when kate -- uh , chloe grew up not knowing her father , i felt really guilty about that . so i 'm wondering if that 's the reason why chloe sent those letters -- so that her daughter would grow up surrounded in love . kevin : well , you know how much she loved bella . she wanted to give her the world . esther : i know that you will take really good care of her . kevin : yeah , um ... this does n't mean you 're off the hook . i 'm gon na make sure that bella gets plenty of time with grandma esther . esther : oh , kevin , i was really hoping you would say that . oh , and if you want , you and bella can -- can stay in the chancellor mansion , that way we 'll all be together , and i can help out whenever you need me to . kevin : wow . that 's quite an offer . and , you know , maybe we 'll see about what 's best . but , um , first ... i need to tell bella she 's my daughter .

[ sighs ] so , do you remember when we talked about you being my `` born in my heart `` daughter because i was gon na adopt you ? bella : yeah . kevin : mm - hmm . well , mommy told me that you 're my real - life daughter . mm - hmm . and that means that you get to live with me now . bella : yeah . kevin : mm - hmm . and i get to make you breakfast in the mornings and tuck you in at night and do all the fun daddy - and - daughter things during the day . that is a pretty cool gift , huh ? are you happy about that ? bella : yeah . kevin : good . me , too . i promise you that i am always going to love you and take care of you , and i will always , always be here for you . and i am so glad that you are truly my little girl . come here . okay , let 's get up .

[ laughs ] reed : no ! not that . she and her coworker got wasted last night . so this morning , i started jamming and really cranked it up , and , uh , did n't take long for her to throw me the keys and tell me to leave . zoey : sounds like you need to get her drunk every night . [ both laugh ] reed : i 'm gon na have to split soon . zoey : no . stay . reed : i wish i could , but i do n't want to be late for my lesson . all right , how about i get one more round of coffees , and then i 'll go ? zoey : okay . reed : all right . be right back . zoey : i need a favor . kendall : name it . zoey : i want to be alone with reed , so you should , like , bounce . like , now . kendall : what about my coffee ? zoey : i 'll buy you like five more . come on . i would do it for you . kendall : sure . when reed gets back , i 'm outtie . zoey : you 're the best . ravi : victor has a reputation for being ruthless , but to his own children ? ashley : oh , yeah . if you do n't bend to his will or sometimes you might disappoint him , he 'll treat you just like any other employee or business rival . probably worse , actually , because you 're family and you should know better . ravi : who would want to live and work in an environment like that ? ashley : i did . twice . ravi : that still blows my mind that you were married to victor newman . ashley : [ chuckles ] yeah , mine , too , sometimes . see , i thought i could change him with my love . ravi : but it did n't ? ashley : no . it 's basically victor 's world , and you just choose to live in it or not . my fear is that abby is immersing herself in it completely . ravi : could be detrimental to her happiness . ashley : she 's just really insecure , you know , right now . she keeps comparing herself to her sister victoria . i think she 's trying so hard to impress her father , and i want to be there for her . she will not let me in . ravi : what if i talked to her ? ashley : that 's really sweet , but i do n't think -- ravi : abby and i have a shared , you know , experience . i can relate to what she 's going through . plus it might help to open up to someone her own age . no . no , no , no . i 'm so sorry . i am so -- that -- oh , my gosh . that did not come out the way i meant . jack : i 'm worried about you , not your company . you 're obviously upset . abby : i appreciate that , uncle jack . i really do . but i 'm fine . i just need to sell the warehouse and get on with my day . jack : okay , fine . let 's get down to business . abby : everything checks out -- plumbing , roof , foundation . it 's a great spot . just not the right fit for newman . jack : are we talking about the property or the project it was going to house ? abby : [ sighs ] the project . i wanted to rent out office space to tech start- ups . newman makes the initial investment , and then we get a percentage of their profits . jack : that sounds like a great idea . all you need is one company to hit it big . the profits could be huge . abby : yes , thank you . i tried to tell that to my dad and victoria . jack : but sometimes none of them hit , and then you lose your shirt . abby : yeah , but any investment has a risk . if you 're really passionate about something , should n't you pursue it ? jack : following my business instincts have rarely led me down a path i did n't want to go . and they 've made me a lot of money . fenmore 's is an example . abby : and my mom was n't thrilled about that , was she ? jack : no , she was n't . we disagreed a lot . abby : but you were right . jack : and i tell her that every single day . is this about your mom ? is she the one that talked you into backing out of this ? abby : not in so many words . jack : why do n't you tell me what words she did use ? abby : she gave me some advice , or i thought she did , and i guess i took it too literally , and now i have this warehouse , and i need to sell it before my dad finds out . jack : finds out that you used newman funds to buy it behind his back . kevin : i was n't defending chloe . billy : you should look up the definition of `` defending , `` kevin . kevin : what i 'm trying to say is that this is not as black and white as you 're making it out to be . chloe 's not some evil mastermind . billy : oh , really ? kevin : no ! she 's sick ! she needs help ! anyone who could do what she did to adam then turn around and be friends with chelsea is not normal . billy : well , there we go . we agree on something . kevin : it 's someone who 's trying desperately hard to be normal . that 's why she wanted to get married . she wanted a husband , a house , a family so that people would accept her ! billy : so what are you , then ? are you just a prop in this situation ? i mean , is that what bella is ? do we even know if bella is chloe 's daughter ? ! kevin : there is no doubt in my mind that chloe is bella 's mom ! and i get that you 're angry , okay ? ! i am , too ! but we ca n't forget that there is a little girl at the center of all this , and she is what matters now ! and kids are smart ! they pick up on stuff , especially when people are angry ! so if she is yours , you better pull it together , because i 'm not gon na let her see you like this ! chloe left bella behind because she had to . and now she 's trying to do right by her . these letters were an act of love . she 's not trying to stick it to you one last time . [ cell phone rings ] billy : hi . phyllis : any news ? billy : nothing . phyllis : i am so sorry you got caught up in chloe 's game . billy : not exactly the right word . it 's a ... complicated situation . tessa : so , you 're faith 's mom and noah 's . sharon : and mariah 's . tessa : ah , so many newmans in one town . how do you keep it all straight ? sharon : like you said , sometimes it 's like a different planet . tessa : well , it seems like you 've gotten used to it . sharon : the first time nick brought me here , i was so nervous . i came from nothing , so to be surrounded by all this ... well , you know what i 'm talking about . tessa : is it that obvious ? sharon : oh , no ! i did n't mean to offend you ! tessa : it 's true . i do n't fit in here . i 've had kind of a rough life , but they say it builds character , so ... sharon : makes you stronger . tessa : and gives you some kick - ass lyrics . makes me feel bad for the kids who get everything handed to them , like cars and guitars . never have the life experiences that we 've had . sharon : that 's true . a lot of wealthy families do spoil their children . but the newman kids , they do n't have that sense of entitlement . they were raised to understand that success has to be earned . nikki and victor get the credit for that . they both came from nothing . you could learn a lot from them . i have . tessa : sounds like you admire them a lot . sharon : i ... respect them . tessa : [ chuckles ] sharon : nikki and i have n't always been friendly , but right now , we 're getting along better than we have in a long time . and looks like you must have really impressed her . tessa : [ sighs ] well , i think i remind her of her wilder days , before spreadsheets and galas , when it was about music and performing . nikki told me about the dancing at the bayou . yeah . sharon : oh ! tessa : [ laughing ] yeah . sharon : oh , right . yes . yeah . she , uh , she always liked attention . she could n't get enough of it . tessa : ah . sharon : that 's why she hosts these events , i guess . it keeps her in the spotlight . tessa : i mean , that 's cool . i mean , why should she stop doing what she loves just 'cause she married a rich dude ? sharon : just a warning . you never want to get on the wrong side of that rich dude . reed : all right . let us caffeinate . kendall : thanks , reed . i 'm gon na take mine to go . you two have fun . zoey : [ laughs ] reed : you know , i got to split soon . zoey : you do n't mind being a little late , do you ? reed : not for you . zoey : [ chuckles ] scott : phyllis is your best friend and business partner . lauren : i know . i know . scott : your reading on your creepy meter should have been off the charts . lauren : you know what ? in my defense , the word `` date `` never came up , okay ? i just thought it 'd be nice if you just could hang out with someone as friends . scott : so now my mommy 's setting up my friendships , too , huh ? i do n't know which one 's worse . lauren : i just wanted ... scott : to keep me in town so i 'd get to know some people and like it here and not take off on an assignment . lauren : can you blame me for trying ? scott : i think i can . lauren : lesson learned . wo n't fix you up with any more of my friends . scott : look , phyllis is gorgeous . it 's just a little too close to home for my taste . lauren : okay . so ... anything else going on in your life besides working on victor 's book ? scott : subtle . and yeah , i might have met somebody . lauren : really ? what 's her name ? scott : no , no . you do n't get to ask questions anymore , not after that phyllis debacle . and it 's too early to tell if it 's gon na go anywhere . but i do n't want you going downtown and , uh , putting any ideas in her head . lauren : oh , come on ! give me something ! scott : how about a kiss on the cheek ? lauren : [ chuckles ] okay . i 'll take it . scott : i 'll see you . lauren : bye . scott : bye . billy : will you stop squeezing that thing , please ? kevin : no . hey ! give me -- billy : you 're driving me nuts , kevin . kevin : do n't . michael : i 'm done playing referee , boys . kevin : [ sighs ] billy : where 's paul ? michael : he 's taking care of official police business . in addition to a fugitive on the loose , he does have a whole department to run . billy : well , he should be lighting a fire under them .

[ door closes ] abby : i had my dad authorize the funds . but he did n't know what he was signing . i tucked the document among a bunch of requisition requests , and then i opened an llc to buy the warehouse . but now that dad 's put me in charge , i 'm afraid that he 's gon na take it all away from me when he finds out . say something . jack : i 'm ... impressed . abby : what ? jack : you outmaneuvered the mustache . i knew you had more abbott blood in you than newman . abby : uncle jack , this is n't funny . when my dad finds out -- jack : newman enterprises has tons of properties in hundreds of countries . you could have held on to this company , and victor would never have noticed , particularly now that he 's stepping back from the day - to - day operations . abby : no , nothing happens at newman without my dad finding out eventually . jack : well , this time it will , because i 'm gon na help you cover your tracks . abby : thank you . jack : on one condition . abby : name it . jack : you make me a partner . i want in on this tech incubator . abby : i do n't know , uncle jack . if my dad finds out i 'm working with you , it could be way worse than finding out i went behind his back .

wow . that 's wonderful . okay , all systems are go . look out world , spectra is back . sally : oh , luis , luis , you are one beautiful , resourceful man . clarke : forrester 's way behind the eight ball . they lost all that money on the last collection , they got to make up for . luis : well , these designs could do it . clarke : really ? sally : uh - huh . well , let 's not waste any time . let 's get them sketched up . let 's see what we 've got . thorne : thorne forrester , knock - off king . darla : yeah , not loving the sound of that , huh ? thorne : well , it was my choice . i made the call . i had plenty of opportunities to pull back . you know what , i 've always been the nice guy and it never got me what i wanted . darla : so you thought you 'd try ridge 's style ? no holds barred . thorne : he would n't have any qualms crushing me , that 's for sure . darla : well , you 're not ridge . thank god for that . do you know something , baby ? i think there 's more to winning than just coming out on top . thorne : that 's what mother was trying to tell me . darla : yeah ? thorne : take the high road . darla : so you 're not giving up ? thorne : darla , what i believe in is still worth fighting for . but i have to fight in the way that i believe in , too . or else , what have i really won ? what ? i 've been going about this the wrong way . but i know what i did wrong . and i know what i have to do to make it right . stephanie : thorne has a real vision as to the future of this company . brooke does n't . she 's the antithesis of everything that forrester stands for . eric : brooke 's not responsible for what 's happening here . she did not cause this crisis . stephanie : no , you 're right , she did n't . but her presence exacerbates it . she is n't going to pull the family together -- eric : we tried to do that . you have . it 's not happening . stephanie : so we try harder . you have to try harder . thorne has a point . we have catered to ridge . and now you want to cater to brooke . eric : ridge is a brilliant designer and brooke is a shrewd businesswoman . yes , sometimes they go too far , but that 's because they take risks . well , you have to take risks in this industry . stephanie : god , eric , i know that . you 're going to let them do this dog and pony act , are n't you ? eric : we have to take the spotlight off thorne 's defection . stephanie : that 's so lame . what , and put it on brooke ? whatever happened to putting your best foot forward ? is n't that how we built this company ? we struggled . i do n't want you to give up now . eric : i 'm not giving up ! i 'm going to save this company . stephanie : for what ? you bring brooke back in and what happens ? all the work , all the sacrifice , will be worth nothing . she stands there and she says to you she wants to preserve this legacy for her children -- she does n't even know the meaning of that word . oh , i was in that office yesterday with you and brooke and ridge , and i want to tell you , every ounce of pride that i have for being a forrester was drained right out of me and i am just -- so tired of this . eric : i know you are . but brooke 's not the enemy . she 's family . she 's the mother of our grandchild . and she 's ridge 's wife . stephanie : and i 'm your wife . and i 'm the mother of your children . so for once , stand up for me . stand up for me . this company is suppose to be the one little corner of my world that she ca n't get back into , but if you let her in -- if you let her back into the company that we 've spent our lives building -- how hard did we fight to regain control of this company ?

eric : ridge and brooke ? megan : they 're getting set up in your office . jarrett : come on , ridge , not even a hint ? ridge : i told you , jarrett , we 're going to be making an announcement . jarrett : you and your father ? ridge : yes , that 's right . jarrett : about what ? ridge : you 'll find out soon enough . eric : ridge ? ridge : hey , ready to get started ? what 's going on ? please do n't tell me you 've changed your mind . eric : no , i have n't . thorne put us in this position . we have to defend ourselves . ridge : all right . let 's go for it . eric : in a moment . i want your assurance here and now that you and brooke are going to be sensitive to your mother 's position and what this is doing to her . now , there it is , right there , this attitude that i 've been seeing way too much of lately . it 's an attitude i 'm not going to tolerate any longer . now , either you give me your word that you and brooke are going to be respectful of your mother or i 'm going to pull the plug on this thing right now . clarke : hey , hey , take it easy . sally : yeah , thorne , what 's going on ? have you lost your senses ? thorne : no , sal , i have finally come to them . sally : what ? really ? well , you know , we 're going to have a hard time selling ourselves as a legitimate fashion house when you keep ripping up our collection . darla : sally , this is n't our collection . clarke : it will be when i 'm done with it . thorne : you 're already done with it , clarke . and we 're finished stealing from my family . luis , thank you . but i 'm going to do this the right way , or i 'm not going to do it at all . luis : good luck , kid . thorne : thanks . sally : all right , what happened ? did your family finally break their hearts and accept your offer ? and now you 're going to work for forrester again ? thorne : no , sal , he turned me down . sally : well , then we need to compete more than ever . darla : we 're going to do that . clarke : yeah , yeah , that 's it . that 's the spirit . let 's give 'em hell . thorne : we 're going to . we 're going to show my family and the fashion world what haute couture is all about . but we 're not going to do it with those designs . sally , clarke , we 're going legit . sally : legit ? you got to be kidding me . now listen , i understand the impulse . you want to beat your family fair and square . well , i would love that , too . but no offense to clarke and the rest of the hard - working team around here , we simply do not have the resources to do it . thorne : well , then , i guess we 'll just have to hire some ringers . amber , felicia , thanks for coming . sally : wait a minute . what are they doing here ? felicia : hey , thorne . what 's going on ? ridge : how have i been disrespectful , by trying to save this company ? eric : this is the company that your mother and i founded . you have no idea the sacrifices that she made for all of you . for your sisters and for you and your brother . and she did n't make those sacrifices to see you grow up and tear each other limb from limb . ridge : well , thorne did n't get that message -- eric : well , thorne would n't have done half the things that he had done if you had shown him some respect . if we ca n't treat each other like family , then why do we have this company in the first place ? now , we 're going to do this , because we have to , but it 's going to be very , very hard on your mother . you and brooke are going to be sympathetic and understanding and patient . is that clear ? ridge : yeah . eric : now we 're ready . jarrett , hello . jarrett : eric ? ridge ? is everything all right ? ridge : everything 's fine , jarrett . dad and i were just arguing about who was going to make the big announcement . jarrett : who won ?

eric : jarrett , thorne is welcome back any time , of course . it 's a family business , we 're proud of that . especially proud of everything we 've been able to accomplish working together . ridge : and now we 're going to continue that tradition . this is someone who has been not only a big contributor to our family , but to our business . and now she 's going to be a key figure in our future success . i have the pleasure of announcing the return of a very familiar face and creative partner here at forrester creations . our former ceo , brooke logan - forrester .

gwen : well , i spoke to ethan about how long it can take to adopt and that once a couple does find a child that they might not bond with them emotionally . rebecca : oh , two very good points . gwen : indeed . and then i had little ethan brought down to play with ethan . rebecca : oh , a man and a child who obviously adore one another . oh , good work , gwennie . gwen : mm - hmm . so what about you ? everything going according to plan ? rebecca : oh , see , i got pilar and miguel fired from the cannery , and then i talked to julian , who spoke to the mayor , who got luis suspended from the police force without pay . gwen : mom , i just really hate that the rest of theresa 's family has to suffer . they did n't do anything . rebecca : por favor , mija . now , you have to keep your eye on the prize . i mean , do you want to save your marriage ? do you want to give ethan a family ? do you want to adopt theresa 's son as your own ? then you have to stick with the plan . theresa : it 's rebecca . she 's the one behind you both being fired . i mean , why else would the foreman come here to tell you in person ? luis : theresa 's right . alistair or rebecca must be behind this . i mean , why else would he just come here and fire the both of you out of the blue ? i 'll bet they 're behind me being suspended as well . pilar : well , alistair said as much to you at the hospital . luis : oh , i just played right into his hands by firing my gun at the psych ward . miguel : we were worried about being tight on money when you told us that chief bennett suspended you . what are we going to do now ? pilar : we have faith , that 's what , mijo . miguel : faith does n't the bills , mama . we 've got to have jobs to make money . and if theresa 's right and the cranes are putting the screws to us , i mean , they can make sure we never work in harmony again , or anywhere else , for that matter . we wo n't have enough money to get by . we could lose everything . 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 chad : whitney , you have to get real , all right ? be honest with me and yourself about wanting to sing . do it for you , not because you want to punish your mom for whatever she has going on with julian crane . whitney : ok , look , i admit , yeah , i am angry with my mother , but this has nothing to do with me trying to get back at her . i 've dreamed of becoming a singer my whole life . you know , i used to stand in front of the mirror with a hairbrush , lip - synching to whitney houston , diana ross , for goodness sake . you know , if my father had n't gotten me involved in tennis and if my mother was n't so anti - music , i would 've tried to become a singer a long time ago . chad : all right . whitney : ok . chad : then let 's make it happen . whitney : all right . chad : ok . whitney : the sooner we get my demo done , the better . so come on , what other songs you got for me to sing ? eve : is whitney in there ? she telling t.c . about julian and me ? liz : no , she has n't returned . eve : thank god . she may hate me , but at least her life is back on track . t.c . 's coaching her in tennis again , he 's going to get her ranking upanand she 's going to turn pro soon . she 's going to have a wonderful , successful life , unlike her bitter aunt liz , who 's still mired in the muck of revenge . liz : i would n't be so confident if i were you , eve . after all , she 's your daughter . you know what they say about history repeating itself . eve : oh , cut the crap , liz . i 'm going in to spend time with my husband . liz : you better enjoy it while you can , eve , because you 've just given me an idea to destroy your family even sooner than i thought possible . pilar : if we pull together and are careful with our money , we can manage . miguel : well , i know how i can help cut back . i 'll drop out of college . pilar : no , that is absolutely out of the question . theresa : miguel , mama 's right , we 're not going to let you sacrifice your future or your child 's . miguel : yeah , but you guys are going to have to work so much harder just to pay my tuition . luis : we do n't care . you 're going to be the first lopez fitzgerald to graduate from college , and that 's all there is to it . miguel : i just hate that i got you all in a bigger jam because of my mistake , getting kay pregnant . luis : miguel , you have a beautiful daughter . you think about what that 's like to hold her in your arms . miguel : it 's awesome . pilar : go see maria , mijo , hmm ? it 'll make you feel better . miguel : i would , but i should stay and help you guys figure ou what we 're going to do . luis : hey , let us take care of it , ok ? go see your baby . miguel : ok . i guess i should tell kay what happened . see you later , ok ? luis : ok . miguel : thanks for understanding . luis : miguel stays in college no matter what . i do n't care if we have to live on bread and water . pilar : and speaking of food , i should get dinner started . maybe it 'll help me clear my head and i can think of what to do . luis : that 's a good idea . you know , i 've got a friend who 's got a security company . maybe he 's got a job for me . that 's if alistair has n't blacklisted me . theresa : well , i 'm going to use the video hookup that fox gave me to check on my baby . theresa : oh . he 's taking a nap . theresa : what the -- rebecca : nap 's over , brat boy . wake up . theresa : oh , god . oh , no , rebecca 's starting in on little ethan again . rebecca : wake up , you little bastard . you 've got work to do . theresa : damn you ! rebecca , leave my son alone ! rebecca : oh . get up out of there , you lazy , good - for - nothing little rugrat ! i 'm going to teach you to keep me waiting . now do n't you start crying . i told you i need some firewood ! i do n't care if the logs are too heavy and they have splinters . you get up , get off your butt , and get me some firewood ! or you know what -- i 'm going to use you for firewood . ugh ! now , see what happens to slowpokes ? now , move it ! come on ! rebecca : you want a spanking ? wally : you know i do , becks . got my special paddles down in the car . rebecca : oh , wally . first you 've got to give me a hug . oh , honey . it is so good to see you . how long has it been ? wally : since the last time the circus blew through town . rebecca : hmm . if that trapeze could talk . wally : mm - hmm , we sure had fun that night , did n't we , red ? rebecca : hmm , yes , we certainly did , and we will again . oh , just do n't forget to bring the donkey and big wally . wally : i never leave home without him . rebecca : wally , you are proof that good things come in small packages . wally : call me . rebecca : oh , i will . and thank you so much . you were so great as little ethan . well , now i have to go act like i 've never seen that camera before . wally : talk about the greatest show on earth . hmm . theresa : where 'd they go ? what is rebecca doing to him ? rebecca : little ethan keeps this room such a mess ! well , maybe if i bt t him with his toys , then i 'll put -- what 's this ? oh . oh . is this a camera ? oh . who would put a camera in here ? alistair ? no . theresa . [ rebecca chuckles ] rebecca : oh , theresa , i hope you saw what just happened , because it is going to get worse for little ethan . much worse . theresa : no . rebecca : and you 're not going to be able to do anything to stop it . theresa : no . no ! please , no ! kay : i did n't know you were coming by . miguel : i wanted to spend some time with maria . kay : oh , i just put her down for a nap . i 'm sorry . hey , are you all right ? miguel : no , i 'm not . kay : why , what happened ? tabitha : i stst my job at the cannery . mama and i were both fired . kay : what ? miguel : theresa and luis think that rebecca or alistair had something to do with it . kay : oh , miguel , i am so sorry . i know , i know how hard you worked to provide for maria and me . miguel : yeah , only now i 've let you both down . kay : oh , no . no , you haven't . ok , miguel , you are a wonderful man . you 're a wonderful father . ok , do n't feel bad . and do n't worry . as long as we stick together , you and maria and i , we 'll be ok , ok ? tabitha : slowly but surely wins the race , kay , and you 're closing in on the big prize -- miguel . pilar : well , i started dinner . we 're having the last free fish from the cann -- theresa , que pasa ? theresa : mama , i was using the internet hookup that fox gave me for christmas and , well , i just saw rebecca yelling and screaming at little ethan to get her firewood ! pilar : what ? theresa : yeah . yeah . and -- and then she started hitting him because he was n't moving fast enough . pilar : that vicious woman . i should 've buried her alive when i had the chance . theresa : mama , what do i do ? what do i do ? because she 's torturing him right now . pilar : call -- call the child protective services right now . have them go to the mansion and check on little ethan . go ahead . theresa : hello . yes , this is theresa lopez fitzgerald . my son , ethan , is currently in the custody of julian , his father , at the crane mansion . i was using an internet hookup to check on my son , and julian 's wife , rebecca , she was hitting my son . could you please send someone over there to check on him ? thank you . ok . all right . they said they 're going to send someone right over . pilar : ok . look , luis is coming . do me a favor , do n't mention what rebecca did to your brother or he 'll just want to go to the mansion and create a big fuss and he 'll just wind up tttting arrested . luis : oh . pilar : did you , uh -- well , was your friend able to help you find work ? luis : no . he said to check back in , like , a month and maybe he 'd have something then . pilar : all right , well , do n't be discouraged , mijo . you 'll find something . we all will . meanwhile , theresita still has her job at the book cafe . luis : even so , i just feel like our situation is the same with me and sheridan . it 's like we 're helpless . it 's like someone else is pulling the strings . it 's like everything 's out of our control . gwen : i know that look . what horrible thing have you done to theresa now ? rebecca : let 's just say that i have driven another nail into her coffin . but right now , i want to talk to ethan . you see , he does n't know it yet , but he 's the one that 's going to bury her . um , gwen , could you take little ethan to the nursery ? i want to have a word with your handsome husband . gwen : sure . hey , buddy , what do you say we go to the kitchen and have a snack ? little ethan : ok , aunt gwen . gwen : great ! let 's go ! whoa ! ethan : see you , buddy . ok , what is it you want to talk to me about ? rebecca : well , actually , it 's about crane industries . and since you are a crane lawyer , i want you to do something for me . ethan : well , should n't you run that by julian first ? rebecca : oh , already did . he signed off on it . ethan : ok . what is it you want me to do ? rebecca : well , you see , there 's this house on a property that crane industries owns , and i want to knock it down so i can put a park there . ethan : i did n't know you were so philanthropic . rebecca : well , i want to do something nice for the community , well , and i ca n't do it until i get the property back . ethan : well , what 's the problem ? rebecca : squatters . there 's squatters living in that house , and i want you to evict them . ethan : well , i 'd hate to kick anybody out of their own house . rebecca : well , actually , it is n't their house . you see , it 's owned by crane industries , therefore , it belongs to the cranes , and since i am mrs . julian crane , it belongs to me . so i want you to evict them . i mean , these people who are living there are the lowest of the lows . i mean , they do n't even work , and two of them have been in trouble with the law . ethan : all right , well , that does make a difference . ok . and i guess a park would be good for the community , so just tell me where the property is and i 'll evict them . rebecca : oh , excuse me . ethan : sure . ahem . rebecca , this is pilar 's house . rebecca : mm - hmm . well , it seems the senora is a squatter , and i want her and her entire immigrant family thrown out of that house immediately . singer : you are my passion for life singers : baby it ai n't been this bad whitney : baby , it ai n't been this bad in years singer baby it ai n't been this bad whitney : ooh , i feel the weather changing singers : baby it ai n't been this bad whitney : ooh it ai n't been this bad this bad in years liz : oh , whitney . that was amazing . whitney : oh , thank you very much . what brings you by ? liz : oh , well , i am hoping that i can get you and chad to do something for me at the blue note . chad : so you rebuilt it ? liz : yeah , while you were in los angeles . chad : well , that 's great . so what do you want us to do ? liz : why do n't you come with me to the club ? i 'll tell you all about it . whitney : ok . why do n't we go get our coats ? chad : yeah . liz : great . liz 's voice : eve will die when she finds out what i 've got planned for you , whitney . t.c . : i saw you outside talking to liz . is everything ok ? eve : oh , we were just talking about whitney . liz says that she left soon after i did . t.c . : yeah , honey . i 'm really worried about whitney , you know , everything that 's been going on . you know , so i wt online and tried to do some research to find out why she 's acting this way if she 's not on drugs , and you both said that she isn't . eve : well , what did you find out ? t.c . : well , basically , i found out that a young woman who has -- who has had some type of , you know , emotional upheaval , it 's usually triggered by someone that she was involved with or very close with that let them down , i mean , just like whitney . i put together all the evidence , and it 's pretty obvious to me who disappointed our daughter . eve : who ? t.c . : i think you know , eve . i think you know who had all of whitney 's love and trust and shattered it . ethan : rebecca , you ca n't evict pilar and her family from their he ! rebecca : well , technically , it 's not their home . you see , casa cucaracha is part of the crane empire . if you remember , theresa replaced the house after it burned down in a fire , and since she signed the checks as mrs . julian crane , even though she really was n't , well , she defrauded the crane empire . ethan : she did n't know that she was n't really julian 's wife . no one knew the marriage was a hoax . rebecca : that is irrelevant . she still defrauded the crane empire . and crane industries has a lien on that house and all of its contents . so unless the lopez fitzgeralds can pay off that lien in full immediately , you have to evict them . ethan : rebecca , come on . you know that pilar 's family does n't have the kind of money to pay a lien off like this . rebecca : then you have to evict them . ethan : no ! no , i wo n't do it . and you know what , i 'm going to make sure that no one at crane legal does it , either . rebecca : ok , fine . ethan , i did n't want to have to do this , but you are forcing me . you see , if you do not evict the lopez fitzgeralds from that house , well , then -- well , you 're being negligent as a crane employee , and then i 'm going to have to fire your ass . and then i 'm going to have to tell gwen why , which is because you have once again chosen theresa over her . ethan : that 's not fair . rebecca : what 's not fair is that your child with gwen is dead . why ? because theresa threw herself at you in los angeles . gwen found out , they fought , gwen lost the baby , and now she can never have another one . she is barren . so do you not dare to talk to me about what is fair . ethan : what happened was n't entirely theresa 's fault . i 'm to blame for that , too . rebecca : good . all the more reason for you to atone for your indiscretion . so , ethan , what are you going to do ? are you going to evict the lopez fitzgeralds , or do i have to tell gwen that you are once again choosing theresa over her ? it 's your choice . i mean , either you prove your love for my daughter or you prove that you are , once again , still in love with that bitch theresa by defying me . gwen : what is going on here ? americans became daily casualties on these iraqi streets . one canadian stayed behind . these gentlemen are iraqi police . they have stopped us in traffic . will he have his regrets ? fallujah . haven of hatred . tonight 's global national . # 8 kay : here , have some tea . miguel : thanks . miguel : i do n't know what i'going to do , kay . the cranes control most of harmony . what if they want to keep me from getting another job ? kay : ok , there 's no reason to think that the cranes will blacklist you . and you know what , if they do , then i can get a job to help you pay for college and with maria 's expenses . miguel : no , kay , i ca n't let you do that . you have enough on you with taking care of maria . kay : ok , well , how about this -- until you get another job , you can just come here and you can take care of maria while i work . you know , that way we both have money coming in . miguel : y , you 're amazing . kay : well , it 's not rocket science . i mean , if you ca n't work , then i can . miguel : no , it 's not that . it 's you . you know , i 've never known you to be someone that i could lean on when i needed help . i come here , i dump this giant mess on you , and instead of freaking out , you 're being positive and supportive . exactly what i needed . kay : well , i 've always been here for you . you just never noticed it before . miguel : i 'm sorry . but i notice it now , and i 'll never forget it . tabitha : i 'd be smiling , too , if i were you , kay . you 're one step closer to being mrs . miguel lopez fitzgerald . gwen : what 's going on here ? rebecca : well , i asked ethan to do something for me , and , ethan , are you going to do it or do we need to discuss this a little further ? oh , maybe you 'd like to know how gwen feels about the matter . ethan : no . no , there 's noeeeed to bother gwen with crane business . i 'll take care of it . rebecca : good . the sooner , the better . rebecca : oh , ethan ? do n't get any ideas about trying to help the lopez fitzgeralds , unless it 's to get them some visas to go back to the old country . ethan : well , maybe my being the one to tell them that they 're evicted , maybe that 'll soften the blow a little bit . rebecca : well , good . that 's great . just throw them out of the house . gwen : what 's going on ? ethan did not look happy at all right now . rebecca : well , it really does n't matter whether he 's happy or not because in the long run , he is going to thank me for giving him such a wonderful little family with you and little ethan . gwen : where are you going ? what 's going on ? rebecca : oh , well , i want to go over to pilar 's so i can eavesdrop . i want to be there when ethan delivers the news . gwen : what news , mother ? rebecca : ethan is going to evict the lopez fitzgeralds from the home that crane money paid for . gwen : what ? rebecca : well , it 's all part of the plan . i can not wait to see the look on theresa 's face when she realizes that she is going to be kicked out of her own home . t.c . : all of this research confirms it . chad is the one that let whitney down . t.c . : our daughter went to l.a. , got engaged to this punk who promised to give her a magical life . he promised that he would produce songs that she would sing , but none of that happened . then whitney finds out that this boy is married . married to some woman who is so crazy enough that she wants to get him back , that she wants to kill whitney to do so . whitney is only lashing out at you , sweetheart , because she feels that she has lost everything that you have . you have a career , you have a husband , and you have a great family . now , whitney feels that she 's a failure because -- because , honey , you 're so pf fect . eve : t.c . , honey , i wish you would stop saying that i 'm perfect , because god knows i am far , far from perfect . t.c . : sweetheart , you have done everything to set a perfect life for them , to show them what a woman should live like . no , whitney is angry with chad . she 's disappointed in him now that she feels that she can get this relationship back on track . now , whitney feels bad because you supported her going to l.a. with chad . eve : you know , t.c . , that was a very difficult time for us , for our whole family , and if anything good came out of it , it 's that whitney realized what an unsavory business the music business is and realized that it 's not for her . t.c . : well , whitney is back on track with her tennis , and all of this music stuff is behind her . it 's just a phase and it 'll come to an end . eve : except now that whitney is back with chad , what if she -- what if she decides that she wants to sing again ? what if she does want to go back into the music business , with its temptation for -- for drugs and alcohol and casual sex ? t.c . : well , chad is trying to win her back somehow , and maybe he 'll use stardom to try to do it . eve : well , whatever the reason , we ca n't let this happen , t.c . we ca n't let her get back into the music business . it would destroy our daughter , and we can not let that happen . whitney : wow , liz , this place -- it looks great . i mean , it looks exactly like it did before the fire . liz : well , thank you . since julian admitted to accidentally setting the fire , he spared no expense in helping me rebuild . whitney : can we not talk about julian , please ? i mean , it 's just that , you know , he and rebecca are making theresa 's life miserable by taking custody of little ethan and -- liz : yeah , of course . whitney : yeah . chad : so , liz , what do you need help with ? liz : well , i need to fill a full - time position , and i thought whitney would be perfect . whitney : oh . well , yeah , i mean , i guess i would make a good waitress . liz : no , no , no , whitney . i do n't want to hire you as a waitress . i want to hire you as a singer . whitney : what ? oh , my god . liz , i mean , you ca n't be serious , right ? liz : oh , yes , i am . the singer i booked canceled , so i need to find a replacement . and since it 's such short notice , i need to find someone locally , and , of course , i thought of you . so what do you say , whitney ? will you sing for your supper at my club ? theresa : hello ? hello ? pilar : que paso ? theresa : they hung up , mama . they do n't believe me . they said they sent someone over to check on little ethan and he was fine . pilar : well , i 'm sure they would n't lie , mija . theresa : no , mama , rebecca 's probably bribing them . pilar : look , as soon as we work out a budget with luis , i will call the mansion and see if phyllis knows anything , ok ? luis : all right . been adding up the bills . well , the good news is if we add my last check with what you and miguel are still owed from the cannery , we can pay next month 's mortgage . everything else besides that 's just going to have to wait till we find work -- hopefully soon . pilar : well , we still have a roof over our heads , huh ? theresa : yes . [ knock on door ] pilar : ethan . what brings you by ? ethan : can i come in ? pilar : of course . ethan : thank you . luis : hey , ethan . why do you look so down ? hey , listen , if you came by to tell me that the judge is n't going to hear my review of procedure case against dr . ackland , do n't you worry about it . sheridan 's already out of the psych ward . ethan : no , um -- that 's not why i 'm erere . rebecca : ca n't wait to see how theresa reacts when she finds out that she 's being evicted . luis : so why are you here ? what 's going on ? whitney : you want me to sing here at your club ? liz : yes , whitney , i do . chad : i say go for it , baby . you have an amazing voice . whitney : look , chad , i do n't know . anyway , what am i going to sing ? chad : come on , you know all kinds of songs . between a few standards and stuff i wrote , we 've got plenty of material . hey , you can do it , whitney . i know you can . liz : it pays , too . whitney : you know , i really am -- i 'm tempted , but , you know , recording a demo with chad is one thing , but if i sing in public , it 's just -- liz : yes . i understand , whitney . i mean , your mother will probably be furious , just like she was last time , and given the tension between the two of you right now , i 'm sure you do n't want to do anything to upset her . whitney : you know what , i do n't give a damn what my mother says . i 'll do it . i 'm going to take the job , liz . i 'm going to sing here at the blue note . chad : this is great . you know , a gig at the blue note is going to change your whole life . liz : chad , you have no idea how right you are . liz 's voice : i ca n't wait till eve finds out that her daughter is following in her same sordid footsteps . [ maria cries ] kay : oh , maria must be hungry from her nap . i 'm going to go feed her . miguel : no , kay . let me take care of maria . kay : really ? miguel : well , if you 're going to be getting a job , i need to start taking care of maria more . tabitha : kay , kay , i 've been tuned in to you and miguel , and i must congratulate you . i think it 's entirely possible that you will be the bod 's bride . kay : yeah , and without help from the dark side . tabitha : oh , it was huge that miguel came here today . the lad had horrible news , and who did he want to talk to , who did he want to share his pain with ? you , kay ! he wanted to take comfort from you and not charity . kay : i know , i know , i know . oh , and it 's so amazing . oh , i love him . i love him so much . and -- and i think he 's starting to love me . luis : so , ethan , what 's going on ? why are you here ? theresa : is it about little ethan ? because i know what 's going on over there . ethan : no . no , it 's not about little ethan . rebecca : actually , theresa , it is about your son . i am setting the stage to take him away from you permanently . ethan : um -- i -- i came to give you this . luis : what 's this ? ethan : it 's an eviction notice . luis : what ? theresa : no . pilar : you ca n't be serious . ethan : i -- i am so sorry , but if the lopez fitzgerald family does n't come up with the money to pay off the lien that crane industries has on this house , you 'll be evicted . rebecca : payback is a bitch , theresa . oh . su casa es mi casa . | theresa is watching little ethan on the video camera and sees rebecca abusing her son again . it is not little ethan , but a circus midget that rebecca hired to play the part . theresa calls child protective services , but there is nothing wrong with little ethan . when she calls back to check on him , they hang up on her . whitney agrees to perform at the blue note as a singer . liz has it all set up to further her plans to destroy eve and break up her marriage . | <s>[INST] whitney : ooh , i feel the weather changing singers : baby it ai n't been this bad whitney : ooh it ai n't been this bad this bad in years chad : that was off the hook , whitney ! whitney : really , chad ?

do you want to give ethan a family ? do you want to adopt theresa 's son as your own ? then you have to stick with the plan . theresa : it 's rebecca . she 's the one behind you both being fired . i mean , why else would the foreman come here to tell you in person ? luis : theresa 's right . alistair or rebecca must be behind this . i mean , why else would he just come here and fire the both of you out of the blue ? i 'll bet they 're behind me being suspended as well . pilar : well , alistair said as much to you at the hospital . luis : oh , i just played right into his hands by firing my gun at the psych ward . miguel : we were worried about being tight on money when you told us that chief bennett suspended you . what are we going to do now ? pilar : we have faith , that 's what , mijo . miguel : faith does n't the bills , mama . we 've got to have jobs to make money . and if theresa 's right and the cranes are putting the screws to us , i mean , they can make sure we never work in harmony again , or anywhere else , for that matter . we wo n't have enough money to get by . we could lose everything . 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 chad : whitney , you have to get real , all right ? be honest with me and yourself about wanting to sing . do it for you , not because you want to punish your mom for whatever she has going on with julian crane . whitney : ok , look , i admit , yeah , i am angry with my mother , but this has nothing to do with me trying to get back at her . i 've dreamed of becoming a singer my whole life . you know , i used to stand in front of the mirror with a hairbrush , lip - synching to whitney houston , diana ross , for goodness sake . you know , if my father had n't gotten me involved in tennis and if my mother was n't so anti - music , i would 've tried to become a singer a long time ago . chad : all right . whitney : ok . chad : then let 's make it happen . whitney : all right . chad : ok . whitney : the sooner we get my demo done , the better . so come on , what other songs you got for me to sing ? eve : is whitney in there ? she telling t.c . about julian and me ? liz : no , she has n't returned . eve : thank god . she may hate me , but at least her life is back on track . t.c . 's coaching her in tennis again , he 's going to get her ranking upanand she 's going to turn pro soon . she 's going to have a wonderful , successful life , unlike her bitter aunt liz , who 's still mired in the muck of revenge . liz : i would n't be so confident if i were you , eve . after all , she 's your daughter . you know what they say about history repeating itself . eve : oh , cut the crap , liz . i 'm going in to spend time with my husband . liz : you better enjoy it while you can , eve , because you 've just given me an idea to destroy your family even sooner than i thought possible . pilar : if we pull together and are careful with our money , we can manage . miguel : well , i know how i can help cut back . i 'll drop out of college . pilar : no , that is absolutely out of the question . theresa : miguel , mama 's right , we 're not going to let you sacrifice your future or your child 's . miguel : yeah , but you guys are going to have to work so much harder just to pay my tuition . luis : we do n't care . you 're going to be the first lopez fitzgerald to graduate from college , and that 's all there is to it . miguel : i just hate that i got you all in a bigger jam because of my mistake , getting kay pregnant . luis : miguel , you have a beautiful daughter . you think about what that 's like to hold her in your arms . miguel : it 's awesome . pilar : go see maria , mijo , hmm ? it 'll make you feel better . miguel : i would , but i should stay and help you guys figure ou what we 're going to do . luis : hey , let us take care of it , ok ? go see your baby . miguel : ok . i guess i should tell kay what happened . see you later , ok ? luis : ok . miguel : thanks for understanding . luis : miguel stays in college no matter what . i do n't care if we have to live on bread and water . pilar : and speaking of food , i should get dinner started . maybe it 'll help me clear my head and i can think of what to do . luis : that 's a good idea . you know , i 've got a friend who 's got a security company . maybe he 's got a job for me . that 's if alistair has n't blacklisted me . theresa : well , i 'm going to use the video hookup that fox gave me to check on my baby . theresa : oh . he 's taking a nap . theresa : what the -- rebecca : nap 's over , brat boy . wake up . theresa : oh , god . oh , no , rebecca 's starting in on little ethan again . rebecca : wake up , you little bastard . you 've got work to do . theresa : damn you ! rebecca , leave my son alone ! rebecca : oh . get up out of there , you lazy , good - for - nothing little rugrat ! i 'm going to teach you to keep me waiting . now do n't you start crying . i told you i need some firewood ! i do n't care if the logs are too heavy and they have splinters . you get up , get off your butt , and get me some firewood ! or you know what -- i 'm going to use you for firewood . ugh ! now , see what happens to slowpokes ? now , move it ! come on ! rebecca : you want a spanking ? wally : you know i do , becks . got my special paddles down in the car . rebecca : oh , wally . first you 've got to give me a hug . oh , honey . it is so good to see you . how long has it been ? wally : since the last time the circus blew through town . rebecca : hmm . if that trapeze could talk . wally : mm - hmm , we sure had fun that night , did n't we , red ? rebecca : hmm , yes , we certainly did , and we will again . oh , just do n't forget to bring the donkey and big wally . wally : i never leave home without him . rebecca : wally , you are proof that good things come in small packages . wally : call me . rebecca : oh , i will . and thank you so much . you were so great as little ethan . well , now i have to go act like i 've never seen that camera before . wally : talk about the greatest show on earth . hmm . theresa : where 'd they go ? what is rebecca doing to him ? rebecca : little ethan keeps this room such a mess ! well , maybe if i bt t him with his toys , then i 'll put -- what 's this ? oh . oh . is this a camera ? oh . who would put a camera in here ? alistair ? no . theresa . [ rebecca chuckles ] rebecca : oh , theresa , i hope you saw what just happened , because it is going to get worse for little ethan . much worse . theresa : no . rebecca : and you 're not going to be able to do anything to stop it . theresa : no . no ! please , no ! kay : i did n't know you were coming by . miguel : i wanted to spend some time with maria . kay : oh , i just put her down for a nap . i 'm sorry . hey , are you all right ? miguel : no , i 'm not . kay : why , what happened ? tabitha : i stst my job at the cannery . mama and i were both fired . kay : what ? miguel : theresa and luis think that rebecca or alistair had something to do with it . kay : oh , miguel , i am so sorry . i know , i know how hard you worked to provide for maria and me . miguel : yeah , only now i 've let you both down . kay : oh , no . no , you haven't . ok , miguel , you are a wonderful man . you 're a wonderful father . ok , do n't feel bad . and do n't worry . as long as we stick together , you and maria and i , we 'll be ok , ok ? tabitha : slowly but surely wins the race , kay , and you 're closing in on the big prize -- miguel . pilar : well , i started dinner . we 're having the last free fish from the cann -- theresa , que pasa ? theresa : mama , i was using the internet hookup that fox gave me for christmas and , well , i just saw rebecca yelling and screaming at little ethan to get her firewood ! pilar : what ? theresa : yeah . yeah . and -- and then she started hitting him because he was n't moving fast enough . pilar : that vicious woman . i should 've buried her alive when i had the chance . theresa : mama , what do i do ? what do i do ? because she 's torturing him right now . pilar : call -- call the child protective services right now . have them go to the mansion and check on little ethan . go ahead . theresa : hello . yes , this is theresa lopez fitzgerald . my son , ethan , is currently in the custody of julian , his father , at the crane mansion . i was using an internet hookup to check on my son , and julian 's wife , rebecca , she was hitting my son . could you please send someone over there to check on him ? thank you . ok . all right . they said they 're going to send someone right over . pilar : ok . look , luis is coming . do me a favor , do n't mention what rebecca did to your brother or he 'll just want to go to the mansion and create a big fuss and he 'll just wind up tttting arrested . luis : oh . pilar : did you , uh -- well , was your friend able to help you find work ? luis : no . he said to check back in , like , a month and maybe he 'd have something then . pilar : all right , well , do n't be discouraged , mijo . you 'll find something . we all will . meanwhile , theresita still has her job at the book cafe . luis : even so , i just feel like our situation is the same with me and sheridan . it 's like we 're helpless . it 's like someone else is pulling the strings . it 's like everything 's out of our control . gwen : i know that look . what horrible thing have you done to theresa now ? rebecca : let 's just say that i have driven another nail into her coffin . but right now , i want to talk to ethan . you see , he does n't know it yet , but he 's the one that 's going to bury her . um , gwen , could you take little ethan to the nursery ? i want to have a word with your handsome husband . gwen : sure . hey , buddy , what do you say we go to the kitchen and have a snack ? little ethan : ok , aunt gwen . gwen : great ! let 's go ! whoa ! ethan : see you , buddy . ok , what is it you want to talk to me about ? rebecca : well , actually , it 's about crane industries . and since you are a crane lawyer , i want you to do something for me . ethan : well , should n't you run that by julian first ? rebecca : oh , already did . he signed off on it . ethan : ok . what is it you want me to do ? rebecca : well , you see , there 's this house on a property that crane industries owns , and i want to knock it down so i can put a park there . ethan : i did n't know you were so philanthropic . rebecca : well , i want to do something nice for the community , well , and i ca n't do it until i get the property back . ethan : well , what 's the problem ? rebecca : squatters . there 's squatters living in that house , and i want you to evict them . ethan : well , i 'd hate to kick anybody out of their own house . rebecca : well , actually , it is n't their house . you see , it 's owned by crane industries , therefore , it belongs to the cranes , and since i am mrs . julian crane , it belongs to me . so i want you to evict them . i mean , these people who are living there are the lowest of the lows . i mean , they do n't even work , and two of them have been in trouble with the law . ethan : all right , well , that does make a difference . ok . and i guess a park would be good for the community , so just tell me where the property is and i 'll evict them . rebecca : oh , excuse me . ethan : sure . ahem . rebecca , this is pilar 's house . rebecca : mm - hmm . well , it seems the senora is a squatter , and i want her and her entire immigrant family thrown out of that house immediately . singer : you are my passion for life singers : baby it ai n't been this bad whitney : baby , it ai n't been this bad in years singer baby it ai n't been this bad whitney : ooh , i feel the weather changing singers : baby it ai n't been this bad whitney : ooh it ai n't been this bad this bad in years liz : oh , whitney . that was amazing . whitney : oh , thank you very much . what brings you by ? liz : oh , well , i am hoping that i can get you and chad to do something for me at the blue note . chad : so you rebuilt it ? liz : yeah , while you were in los angeles . chad : well , that 's great . so what do you want us to do ? liz : why do n't you come with me to the club ? i 'll tell you all about it . whitney : ok . why do n't we go get our coats ? chad : yeah . liz : great . liz 's voice : eve will die when she finds out what i 've got planned for you , whitney . t.c . : i saw you outside talking to liz . is everything ok ? eve : oh , we were just talking about whitney . liz says that she left soon after i did . t.c . : yeah , honey . i 'm really worried about whitney , you know , everything that 's been going on . you know , so i wt online and tried to do some research to find out why she 's acting this way if she 's not on drugs , and you both said that she isn't . eve : well , what did you find out ? t.c . : well , basically , i found out that a young woman who has -- who has had some type of , you know , emotional upheaval , it 's usually triggered by someone that she was involved with or very close with that let them down , i mean , just like whitney . i put together all the evidence , and it 's pretty obvious to me who disappointed our daughter . eve : who ? t.c . : i think you know , eve . i think you know who had all of whitney 's love and trust and shattered it . ethan : rebecca , you ca n't evict pilar and her family from their he ! rebecca : well , technically , it 's not their home . you see , casa cucaracha is part of the crane empire . if you remember , theresa replaced the house after it burned down in a fire , and since she signed the checks as mrs . julian crane , even though she really was n't , well , she defrauded the crane empire . ethan : she did n't know that she was n't really julian 's wife . no one knew the marriage was a hoax . rebecca : that is irrelevant . she still defrauded the crane empire . and crane industries has a lien on that house and all of its contents . so unless the lopez fitzgeralds can pay off that lien in full immediately , you have to evict them . ethan : rebecca , come on . you know that pilar 's family does n't have the kind of money to pay a lien off like this . rebecca : then you have to evict them . ethan : no ! no , i wo n't do it . and you know what , i 'm going to make sure that no one at crane legal does it , either . rebecca : ok , fine . ethan , i did n't want to have to do this , but you are forcing me . you see , if you do not evict the lopez fitzgeralds from that house , well , then -- well , you 're being negligent as a crane employee , and then i 'm going to have to fire your ass . and then i 'm going to have to tell gwen why , which is because you have once again chosen theresa over her . ethan : that 's not fair . rebecca : what 's not fair is that your child with gwen is dead . why ? because theresa threw herself at you in los angeles . gwen found out , they fought , gwen lost the baby , and now she can never have another one . she is barren . so do you not dare to talk to me about what is fair . ethan : what happened was n't entirely theresa 's fault . i 'm to blame for that , too . rebecca : good . all the more reason for you to atone for your indiscretion . so , ethan , what are you going to do ? are you going to evict the lopez fitzgeralds , or do i have to tell gwen that you are once again choosing theresa over her ? it 's your choice . i mean , either you prove your love for my daughter or you prove that you are , once again , still in love with that bitch theresa by defying me . gwen : what is going on here ? americans became daily casualties on these iraqi streets . one canadian stayed behind . these gentlemen are iraqi police . they have stopped us in traffic . will he have his regrets ? fallujah . haven of hatred . tonight 's global national . # 8 kay : here , have some tea . miguel : thanks . miguel : i do n't know what i'going to do , kay . the cranes control most of harmony . what if they want to keep me from getting another job ? kay : ok , there 's no reason to think that the cranes will blacklist you . and you know what , if they do , then i can get a job to help you pay for college and with maria 's expenses . miguel : no , kay , i ca n't let you do that . you have enough on you with taking care of maria . kay : ok , well , how about this -- until you get another job , you can just come here and you can take care of maria while i work . you know , that way we both have money coming in . miguel : y , you 're amazing . kay : well , it 's not rocket science . i mean , if you ca n't work , then i can . miguel : no , it 's not that . it 's you . you know , i 've never known you to be someone that i could lean on when i needed help . i come here , i dump this giant mess on you , and instead of freaking out , you 're being positive and supportive . exactly what i needed . kay : well , i 've always been here for you . you just never noticed it before . miguel : i 'm sorry . but i notice it now , and i 'll never forget it . tabitha : i 'd be smiling , too , if i were you , kay . you 're one step closer to being mrs . miguel lopez fitzgerald . gwen : what 's going on here ? rebecca : well , i asked ethan to do something for me , and , ethan , are you going to do it or do we need to discuss this a little further ? oh , maybe you 'd like to know how gwen feels about the matter . ethan : no . no , there 's noeeeed to bother gwen with crane business . i 'll take care of it . rebecca : good . the sooner , the better . rebecca : oh , ethan ? do n't get any ideas about trying to help the lopez fitzgeralds , unless it 's to get them some visas to go back to the old country . ethan : well , maybe my being the one to tell them that they 're evicted , maybe that 'll soften the blow a little bit . rebecca : well , good . that 's great . just throw them out of the house . gwen : what 's going on ? ethan did not look happy at all right now . rebecca : well , it really does n't matter whether he 's happy or not because in the long run , he is going to thank me for giving him such a wonderful little family with you and little ethan . gwen : where are you going ? what 's going on ? rebecca : oh , well , i want to go over to pilar 's so i can eavesdrop . i want to be there when ethan delivers the news . gwen : what news , mother ? rebecca : ethan is going to evict the lopez fitzgeralds from the home that crane money paid for . gwen : what ? rebecca : well , it 's all part of the plan . i can not wait to see the look on theresa 's face when she realizes that she is going to be kicked out of her own home . t.c . : all of this research confirms it . chad is the one that let whitney down . t.c . : our daughter went to l.a. , got engaged to this punk who promised to give her a magical life . he promised that he would produce songs that she would sing , but none of that happened . then whitney finds out that this boy is married . married to some woman who is so crazy enough that she wants to get him back , that she wants to kill whitney to do so . whitney is only lashing out at you , sweetheart , because she feels that she has lost everything that you have . you have a career , you have a husband , and you have a great family . now , whitney feels that she 's a failure because -- because , honey , you 're so pf fect . eve : t.c . , honey , i wish you would stop saying that i 'm perfect , because god knows i am far , far from perfect . t.c . : sweetheart , you have done everything to set a perfect life for them , to show them what a woman should live like . no , whitney is angry with chad . she 's disappointed in him now that she feels that she can get this relationship back on track . now , whitney feels bad because you supported her going to l.a. with chad . eve : you know , t.c . , that was a very difficult time for us , for our whole family , and if anything good came out of it , it 's that whitney realized what an unsavory business the music business is and realized that it 's not for her . t.c . : well , whitney is back on track with her tennis , and all of this music stuff is behind her . it 's just a phase and it 'll come to an end . eve : except now that whitney is back with chad , what if she -- what if she decides that she wants to sing again ? what if she does want to go back into the music business , with its temptation for -- for drugs and alcohol and casual sex ? t.c . : well , chad is trying to win her back somehow , and maybe he 'll use stardom to try to do it . eve : well , whatever the reason , we ca n't let this happen , t.c . we ca n't let her get back into the music business . it would destroy our daughter , and we can not let that happen . whitney : wow , liz , this place -- it looks great . i mean , it looks exactly like it did before the fire . liz : well , thank you . since julian admitted to accidentally setting the fire , he spared no expense in helping me rebuild . whitney : can we not talk about julian , please ? i mean , it 's just that , you know , he and rebecca are making theresa 's life miserable by taking custody of little ethan and -- liz : yeah , of course . whitney : yeah . chad : so , liz , what do you need help with ? liz : well , i need to fill a full - time position , and i thought whitney would be perfect . whitney : oh . well , yeah , i mean , i guess i would make a good waitress . liz : no , no , no , whitney . i do n't want to hire you as a waitress . i want to hire you as a singer . whitney : what ? oh , my god . liz , i mean , you ca n't be serious , right ? liz : oh , yes , i am . the singer i booked canceled , so i need to find a replacement . and since it 's such short notice , i need to find someone locally , and , of course , i thought of you . so what do you say , whitney ? will you sing for your supper at my club ? theresa : hello ? hello ? pilar : que paso ? theresa : they hung up , mama . they do n't believe me . they said they sent someone over to check on little ethan and he was fine . pilar : well , i 'm sure they would n't lie , mija . theresa : no , mama , rebecca 's probably bribing them . pilar : look , as soon as we work out a budget with luis , i will call the mansion and see if phyllis knows anything , ok ? luis : all right . been adding up the bills . well , the good news is if we add my last check with what you and miguel are still owed from the cannery , we can pay next month 's mortgage . everything else besides that 's just going to have to wait till we find work -- hopefully soon . pilar : well , we still have a roof over our heads , huh ? theresa : yes . [ knock on door ] pilar : ethan . what brings you by ? ethan : can i come in ? pilar : of course . ethan : thank you . luis : hey , ethan . why do you look so down ? hey , listen , if you came by to tell me that the judge is n't going to hear my review of procedure case against dr . ackland , do n't you worry about it . sheridan 's already out of the psych ward . ethan : no , um -- that 's not why i 'm erere . rebecca : ca n't wait to see how theresa reacts when she finds out that she 's being evicted . luis : so why are you here ? what 's going on ? whitney : you want me to sing here at your club ? liz : yes , whitney , i do . chad : i say go for it , baby . you have an amazing voice . whitney : look , chad , i do n't know . anyway , what am i going to sing ? chad : come on , you know all kinds of songs . between a few standards and stuff i wrote , we 've got plenty of material . hey , you can do it , whitney . i know you can . liz : it pays , too . whitney : you know , i really am -- i 'm tempted , but , you know , recording a demo with chad is one thing , but if i sing in public , it 's just -- liz : yes . i understand , whitney . i mean , your mother will probably be furious , just like she was last time , and given the tension between the two of you right now , i 'm sure you do n't want to do anything to upset her . whitney : you know what , i do n't give a damn what my mother says . i 'll do it . i 'm going to take the job , liz . i 'm going to sing here at the blue note . chad : this is great . you know , a gig at the blue note is going to change your whole life . liz : chad , you have no idea how right you are . liz 's voice : i ca n't wait till eve finds out that her daughter is following in her same sordid footsteps . [ maria cries ] kay : oh , maria must be hungry from her nap . i 'm going to go feed her . miguel : no , kay . let me take care of maria . kay : really ? miguel : well , if you 're going to be getting a job , i need to start taking care of maria more . tabitha : kay , kay , i 've been tuned in to you and miguel , and i must congratulate you . i think it 's entirely possible that you will be the bod 's bride . kay : yeah , and without help from the dark side . tabitha : oh , it was huge that miguel came here today . the lad had horrible news , and who did he want to talk to , who did he want to share his pain with ? you , kay ! he wanted to take comfort from you and not charity . kay : i know , i know , i know . oh , and it 's so amazing . oh , i love him . i love him so much . and -- and i think he 's starting to love me . luis : so , ethan , what 's going on ? why are you here ? theresa : is it about little ethan ? because i know what 's going on over there . ethan : no . no , it 's not about little ethan . rebecca : actually , theresa , it is about your son . i am setting the stage to take him away from you permanently . ethan : um -- i -- i came to give you this . luis : what 's this ? ethan : it 's an eviction notice . luis : what ? theresa : no . pilar : you ca n't be serious . ethan : i -- i am so sorry , but if the lopez fitzgerald family does n't come up with the money to pay off the lien that crane industries has on this house , you 'll be evicted . rebecca : payback is a bitch , theresa . oh . su casa es mi casa .Summarize.[/INST]theresa is watching little ethan on the video camera and sees rebecca abusing her son again . it is not little ethan , but a circus midget that rebecca hired to play the part . theresa calls child protective services , but there is nothing wrong with little ethan . when she calls back to check on him , they hang up on her . whitney agrees to perform at the blue note as a singer . liz has it all set up to further her plans to destroy eve and break up her marriage .</s> | 15,267 |

[ laura sighs ] laura : so i just sat in my room night after night , and i stared out the window into the darkness and then the thoughts would start and the panic would rise . and sometimes , i would even just go out and walk the halls in the middle of the night . but no matter where i started , i always ended at the same spot . lulu : where ? laura : the nursery . i would go in and i 'd stand over nikolas ' crib and i would look down at my beautiful little baby , so perfect , such a miracle . and then i 'd put my hand on his little chest and i could feel his breathing , slow and even . and then my breathing would start to slow . my heart would stop pounding out of my chest and a peace would just sort of wash over me . and i felt hope . and when i walked out of that room , i always left stronger than when i came in because i knew that nikolas was a blessing to me , but i did n't realize then how much . it 's not just that he 's grown into a fabulous man and that he 's a wonderful brother to you , but , honey , he saved your life . he was the only donor , the only match when you were sick . so you see , i had to go through all of that misery so that there would be a baby nikolas who could one day save my beautiful baby lulu . you see ? out of something horrible , something wonderful happened . and that 's how it is . when we least expect it . that 's how it works . that 's perspective . [ scene_break ] johnny : lucky talked to you ? nikolas : yes , but he made me promise that i 'd tell him everything we discuss . johnny : ca n't . he 'll try to stop you . nikolas : stop me from what ? johnny : getting lulu out of the country . you 've got to check her out of shadybrook and get her as far away from here as possible . because if she 's not gone , baldwin will put her on the stand . nikolas : i agree that she 's in no shape to testify . that 's just kind of a lot to ask for right now . johnny : she ca n't testify . nikolas : john , we 're all worried about her , okay ? but i just do n't think the answer to this is taking her away from the people she cares about . johnny : if you care about your sister , nikolas , if you love her , you will get her as far away from here as possible until the trial is over . nikolas , it 's not about saving me . it 's about saving her . nikolas : oh , my god . she killed logan , did n't she ?

[ scene_break ] maxie : spinelli actually believes in me . the only other person who ever did that was georgie . georgie was a little more realistic , though . she saw me for the selfish , manipulative bitch that i am , but she loved me anyway because that 's what sisters do . i 'm sure you know that from emily . jason : yeah . maxie : i never really understood what georgie saw in spinelli until she died and i sort of inherited him . spinelli figured out way too late that georgie loved him . so he wanted to figure out who killed her , and i did , too . that 's why i went along with the whole `` jackal p.i. `` thing , even though all of spinelli 's babbling really drove me crazy . jason : he 's brilliant . maxie : spinelli is brilliant , i know that . do n't get ahead of me . along with being brilliant , he 's also kind and generous , even to me . he gives me credit for having good ideas . he gives me way more respect than i deserve . somewhere along the line , i went from being the bad blonde one to maximista , which , believe it or not , has helped me see myself in a better light . do n't get me wrong , i did n't instantly become a good and noble person , but spinelli has stood by me . and i just want to be as good to him as he is to me .

[ scene_break ] nikolas : i do n't know how i did n't see this before . she 's been riddled with guilt through this whole thing . she 's been saying it 's her fault all along because she 's the one who killed logan . johnny : it was self - defense . nikolas : and you saw that happen ? johnny : no , i got there too late . but logan went after her with an axe and she was terrified , so she grabbed the knife and defended herself . nikolas : why did n't you call 911 right there , john ? johnny : i should have . lulu was in shock . and a few months ago , she hit logan over his head with a wrench and put him in a coma . we were afraid that baldwin was going to go after her and charge her with murder . nikolas : so what you did was cover for lulu . you got rid of the evidence and dumped the body . johnny : and because of my interference , there 's no way to prove that logan attacked lulu . nikolas : do you realize now that running has only made this whole thing worse ? johnny : she came in here with a gun in her purse . she was going to confess , so i got her out of here the only way i saw possible . nikolas : yeah , yet another bad decision . johnny : the point is , this is a death penalty case . nikolas : if she gets on the stand , she 'll confess . johnny : which is why you have to get her out of the country now .

[ scene_break ] laura : there have been more times than i can count where i 've felt trapped and helpless and even hopeless . and that 's the worst , because that one little word , `` hope , `` it 's like a life raft that you can hold on to when things get really tough . lulu : here i thought whenever you felt like that , you would pull some trick out of that big bag dad said you always carried around . laura : oh , yeah , there was that . but hope , honey , is sometimes a decision , you know ? it 's a state of mind and of heart . lulu : mine kind of does n't work together well , or at least when it should . laura : you know , i listen to you and sometimes i just shudder because you 're so hard on yourself . lulu : hard on myself ? laura : yes . lulu : look at what i 've done to logan , to johnny , to me . and they were n't my first casualties . laura : and they probably wo n't be your last . you know why ? you 're human . you make mistakes . we all make mistakes , honey , and that 's good . that 's how we learn . it 's true . oh , i wish there was some way i could give you perspective . lulu : and hope . laura : you know about the time that i was held captive by the cassadines on that island , right , by that horrible man who called himself nikolas ' father . it was one of the worst times in my life . all i wanted was to go home and to see luke . [ laura sighs ] laura : so i just sat in my room night after night , and i stared out the window into the darkness and then the thoughts would start and the panic would rise . and sometimes , i would even just go out and walk the halls in the middle of the night . but no matter where i started , i always ended at the same spot . lulu : where ? laura : the nursery . i would go in and i 'd stand over nikolas ' crib and i would look down at my beautiful little baby , so perfect , such a miracle . and then i 'd put my hand on his little chest and i could feel his breathing , slow and even . and then my breathing would start to slow . my heart would stop pounding out of my chest and a peace would just sort of wash over me . and i felt hope . and when i walked out of that room , i always left stronger than when i came in because i knew that nikolas was a blessing to me , but i did n't realize then how much . it 's not just that he 's grown into a fabulous man and that he 's a wonderful brother to you , but , honey , he saved your life . he was the only donor , the only match when you were sick . so you see , i had to go through all of that misery so that there would be a baby nikolas who could one day save my beautiful baby lulu . you see ? out of something horrible , something wonderful happened . and that 's how it is . when we least expect it . that 's how it works . that 's perspective . [ scene_break ] johnny : lucky talked to you ? nikolas : yes , but he made me promise that i 'd tell him everything we discuss . johnny : ca n't . he 'll try to stop you . nikolas : stop me from what ? johnny : getting lulu out of the country . you 've got to check her out of shadybrook and get her as far away from here as possible . because if she 's not gone , baldwin will put her on the stand . nikolas : i agree that she 's in no shape to testify . that 's just kind of a lot to ask for right now . johnny : she ca n't testify . nikolas : john , we 're all worried about her , okay ? but i just do n't think the answer to this is taking her away from the people she cares about . johnny : if you care about your sister , nikolas , if you love her , you will get her as far away from here as possible until the trial is over . nikolas , it 's not about saving me . it 's about saving her . nikolas : oh , my god . she killed logan , did n't she ? [ scene_break ] claudia : okay , you 're right . that 's gas . get me out . sonny : hold still for a second . claudia : get me out . sonny : the buckle 's stuck . i 'm trying to pull it out . claudia : what 's wrong with it ? come on . sonny : let me try something , okay ? you 've got to hold still . just hold still . claudia : oh , my god . okay , cut it . come on , just cut it . [ scene_break ] maxie : spinelli actually believes in me . the only other person who ever did that was georgie . georgie was a little more realistic , though . she saw me for the selfish , manipulative bitch that i am , but she loved me anyway because that 's what sisters do . i 'm sure you know that from emily . jason : yeah . maxie : i never really understood what georgie saw in spinelli until she died and i sort of inherited him . spinelli figured out way too late that georgie loved him . so he wanted to figure out who killed her , and i did , too . that 's why i went along with the whole `` jackal p.i. `` thing , even though all of spinelli 's babbling really drove me crazy . jason : he 's brilliant . maxie : spinelli is brilliant , i know that . do n't get ahead of me . along with being brilliant , he 's also kind and generous , even to me . he gives me credit for having good ideas . he gives me way more respect than i deserve . somewhere along the line , i went from being the bad blonde one to maximista , which , believe it or not , has helped me see myself in a better light . do n't get me wrong , i did n't instantly become a good and noble person , but spinelli has stood by me . and i just want to be as good to him as he is to me .

[ scene_break ] jerry : hey , little brother . what are you doing her ? why are n't you home with carly ? jax : because there is no home . that marriage is over .

[ scene_break ] nikolas : i do n't know how i did n't see this before . she 's been riddled with guilt through this whole thing . she 's been saying it 's her fault all along because she 's the one who killed logan . johnny : it was self - defense . nikolas : and you saw that happen ? johnny : no , i got there too late . but logan went after her with an axe and she was terrified , so she grabbed the knife and defended herself . nikolas : why did n't you call 911 right there , john ? johnny : i should have . lulu was in shock . and a few months ago , she hit logan over his head with a wrench and put him in a coma . we were afraid that baldwin was going to go after her and charge her with murder . nikolas : so what you did was cover for lulu . you got rid of the evidence and dumped the body . johnny : and because of my interference , there 's no way to prove that logan attacked lulu . nikolas : do you realize now that running has only made this whole thing worse ? johnny : she came in here with a gun in her purse . she was going to confess , so i got her out of here the only way i saw possible . nikolas : yeah , yet another bad decision . johnny : the point is , this is a death penalty case . nikolas : if she gets on the stand , she 'll confess . johnny : which is why you have to get her out of the country now . [ scene_break ] claudia : ow . okay . sonny : i got it , i got it . let 's go . claudia : i do n't want to burn . come on , get me out . sonny : can you walk ? claudia : i do n't know . i 'm going to try . sonny : you got it ? claudia : uh - huh . [ scene_break ] nikolas : if i do get her out of the country , i guarantee you that scott will spin it so the jury will think that she was taken away so not to incriminate you . johnny : i do n't care . let him . nikolas : oh , really ? well , let me tell you , son , i 've been in prison and it 's hell on earth . if you do get convicted and get the death penalty , you wo n't be able to change your mind . johnny : i will be fine as long as i know that lulu 's safe . nikolas : you really do love her ? johnny : that 's why i have to see this through . hey , your brother 's right . all this is happening to lulu because of me . i got her into my life knowing full well she could get hurt , and now she has . so now it 's on me to fix this . so , please , take her away and keep her safe . nikolas : do you really think she 'll agree to go ?

( laughs ) jeffrey : now , you did n't honestly think that you could go on impersonating cassie winslow and get away with it , did you ? dinah : i see you still have the beard . i like it . it 's rough , just like you . jeffrey : stop it . i 'm shutting you down , okay ? your game is over , tonight . dinah : the game was a lot more fun when you were a part of it . ross : all right , you have access to anything and everything . just take your time and please get it right . frank : you think i 'm running a crooked police department , ross ? ross : no , i do n't , frank . i 'm trying to help you . questions have been raised . frank : by an anonymous phone caller ? ross : the allegations were specific and serious and it is my job to see that they are either proved or disproved . frank : let me give you some advice , ross . i do n't think it 's a very good idea to antagonize the police department so early on in your term . ross : do n't go there , frank . listen , if there 's a dirty cop in your department , do n't you want to know about it ? frank : i already know there isn't . ross : well , then there 's nothing to worry about . if there 's no dirt to be found , ia is not going to come up with anything , are they ? gus : well , now , why should n't i go down to the police station ? alexandra : because it is the last place in the world you should be tonight , particularly when you have a lovely fiancee waiting to spend time with you . gus : i just told you that she 's got plans . alexandra : well , they ca n't be very important if they do n't include you , can they ? gus : we 're not exactly conjoined twins . we 're not joined at the hip . alexandra : all right , well , i do n't like the sound of that . gus : what are you saying ? alexandra : well , usually couples who have an impending marriage , you know , when they 're so much in love , want to spend every waking moment together before ... gus : we were just together , just now . alexandra : so you 're now content to go down to the police station , just ... gus : we 're not in any trouble because she 's having a massage . alexandra : oh , all right . maybe i am overreacting , but look , gus , it 's just that i could n't live with myself if i thought i was the one driving this wedge between you and harley . now , come on . you said so yourself this was a concern . gus : do n't worry about it . she seems to be fine lately . alexandra : fine . then ai n't things wonderful ? gus : what are you talking about ? what is this about ? alexandra : oh , honestly . when are you going to look me in the eye and not see a liar ? gus : probably never . it does n't matter that i 'm a liar , too , so ... and we 're in this particular lie together and we 're just going toth have to stick it ... stick it out and see what happens , and hope for the best . alexandra : what about the police station ? gus : i do n't feel like going to the police station now . going down there , playing honorable chief of detectives , no thank you . it just does n't appeal to me all of a sudden . alexandra : come on , cheer up . this thing is going to be behind us very soon and i also have a feeling that frank is going to drop this entire investigation and we can get back to living our lives . oh , come on . you 'll see . harley : ah , life is good . reva : you know , i thought you 'd be at the point in your wedding planning where you 'd want to commit murder . harley : no , not yet . cassie : she 's a slow starter . reva : but it 's the spauldings . it 's hard enough living in the same town with them , as marrying one . harley : yeah . and do n't think i was n't sweating it going into this thing , because we both know i 'm a two - time loser when it comes to that family . but alan and alex have been very pleasant . reva : you know what ? do n't press so hard . you 're cutting off all the blood from the feet to the brain . ( laughter ) harley : i am serious . they have gone out of their way to be totally cooperative . and the weird thing is , so have i . cassie : how so ? harley : well , you know , the spauldings want to make this wedding a bit more of an event than i had originally intended , and i 'm just going with it . reva : i have never heard you say that ever , about anything , in my life . harley : well , i have never loved anyone as much as i love gus . and as long as he 's getting what he wants with this wedding , i 'm happy , because i could get married in the back of a cab . i do n't care . i just want to be his wife . cassie : that 's how i felt when i married richard . really . and talk about a wedding . ours really was a state affair . do you remember ? ( laughs ) harley : but you know what i remember about your wedding that i loved ? it was the little things . it was the subtle touches , like when you took all those pills and you could n't walk down the aisle and we had to give you , like , a gallon of coffee . ( laughter ) cassie : oh , gosh . i thought it was going to be a circus and when i walked down the aisle , all those people were looking at me . but there was richard , standing at the altar waiting for me . and the best part was when all the hoopla was over , i was married to the man i loved . reva : that 's the general idea . cassie : it was such a fairy tale . it did n't just stop with the wedding , though . i mean , when i realized that i could make a difference in people 's lives and help the people in san cristobel , and it was only a phone call away , it was just amazing . harley : that 's the nice thing about being a princess . cassie : it was a long time ago . at least it seems like it . oh , speaking of princesses , i went on a royalty gossip web site . reva : well , of course you did . cassie : i wanted to see if i could get any information on the person who is posing as me , and guess what ? harley : you got a hit . cassie : lots of them . oh , yes . tons of parties . princess cassie gets around . harley : well , you think that maybe one of your friends from the royal party circuit would have notified you of this . cassie : i 've never even heard of half of these events , so i do n't think the people i knew went to these things . harley : well , did you get a picture of her ? was there anything ? cassie : no . nothing . i mean , this woman went to a lot of trouble to cover her tracks . well , kind of . reva : cassie , she 's been impersonating you in public at very high - profile events . that 's pretty blatant . cassie : i know . it 's as if she wanted me to get some information , just not all of it . jeffrey : i said , stop it . dinah : okay . what ? i missed you , that 's all . i just ... i do n't know , i do n't think your voice did it for me on the phone . jeffrey : i knew i could n't trust you . that 's why i 'm here to deliver this message personally . this has to stop , dinah . dinah : why ? i 'm having so much fun . you used to have fun , too . you remember the fun we used to have , do n't you ? jeffrey : she 's onto you . dinah : who ? jeffrey : well , i 'll give you one guess . here 's a hint : you shot and killed the man that she loved . dinah : i loved hart , too . how do you know cassie is onto me ? did she find you ? oh . it was the other way around , was n't it ? good for you . you finally did it . you 're living in springfield . i should have known that 's where you 'd go -- right after cassie . michelle : tony ! whoo ! you made it ! tony : hello . ( laughs ) danny : i did n't know you were coming over . tony : well , you know , michelle , she gave me an offer i guess i could n't refuse . so i 'm here . michelle : and you are going to be glad you 're here . wait until you see all the ladies that are here . tony : a little young , do n't you think ? michelle : not all of them . excuse me ! ladies over 18 ! raise your hands ! whoo ! there you go . enjoy . marina : what is up with her ? shayne : well , she 's having fun , i guess . marina : yeah , well , danny looks kind of horrified . sandy : i do n't know , i think there 's something to be said for getting a new crack at things . shayne : i hear that . marina : well , me , too , as long as you do n't forget what 's important to you . joey : ( laughs ) lizzie : you know , your voice is a thousand times better than this guy 's . joey : nah . lizzie : no , no , no . do n't they look great together ? joey : lizzie ? chill , okay ? you do n't have to try so hard . i 'm here with you , so just ... you know . i 'm going to go get us some refills . refills . lizzie : hey . cool party , huh ? tammy : uh - huh . lizzie : fyi that joey still cares about you . yeah , he was saying how great you and remy look together , and he 's really happy for you . that you found someone else . tammy : well , too bad i ca n't say the same thing for joey . he looks like he 's having a miserable time . tony : she hates this song , huh ? danny : yeah , obviously . michelle : come on , dance with me . danny : who ? michelle : either of you . both . i do n't care . i just want to dance . come on . ross : frank , i know this is n't easy , but it will be over quicker if you let them do their jobs . frank : yeah , you 're absolutely right , ross . a quick witch - hunt is always better . alexandra : well . hello ross , frank . frank : alex . back so soon ? alexandra : well , actually i was hoping i 'd find gus here . i had a little family matter i want to discuss with him . frank : oh , really ? well , you know what ? he 's not here . and if you have n't noticed , alex , this is a police station , so if you want to conduct your personal business , do it somewhere else . alexandra : well , he 's in a foul mood . ross : i ca n't say that i blame him , alex . alexandra : oh . has frank gotten some bad news ? ross : i hope not . alexandra : what are all these men doing here ? ross : they 're from internal affairs . alexandra : really ? why ? harley : thank you ! this was such a great idea . reva : oh , good . if you get the wedding jitters or if the spauldings revert back to type , you call me and we 'll do this again . harley : we 'll do this again anyway , because this was great , but i think i 'm really okay . i 'm , like , 99 % sane right now . well , low 90s , probably , but come on , that 's good for me . cassie : hey , that is great , considering everything you 've been through with the spauldings . harley : yeah , i 'm telling you , it 's gus . he is ... he 's being amazing . he 's so patient and understanding . reva : because he loves you . harley : and i love him . i love him so much . i 'm telling you , as long as we 're together we can get through any insanity . see you guys . cassie and reva : bye . cassie : wow , she 's so good ! reva : and you ? cassie : i 'm fine . okay , what part of `` fine `` do n't you believe ? reva : the part -- sit down -- the part where someone is impersonating you , cassie . cassie : oh , yeah . reva : that part . cassie : well , i 'm okay with it , you know ? i mean , jeffrey is confident . he is confident that everything is going to take care of itself . not that he 's not ever not confident , but i do n't know . meanwhile , this princess impostor is all over europe , living it up , having the time of her life . reva : and that does n't bother you ? because it bothers me that she 's impersonating you . cassie : it weirds me out . i 'm more curious than anything . but do n't worry about it . i mean , i 'm on it . i am going to track her down . i 'm fine . reva : well , i hope so , because , cassie , she 's a thief . she 's stolen your name , she 's stolen your history . she wants to be you . and the fact that you do n't find that disturbing disturbs me . dinah : so you 're sleeping with her . who does she think you are ? with that face , you 're a dead ringer for her dead richard . she must have thought richard was back from the dead . jeffrey : you 're still facing a murder charge in springfield . i think you need to remember that . dinah : well , thank you for reminding me . jeffrey : and here 's something else you need to remember . i gave you your freedom . and i can take it away just as easily . so the princess cassie routine is over . is that clear ? if not , you 'll be spending the rest of your life in some hole of a prison , just like the one i yanked you out of .

( laughs ) reva : i wish you would . cassie : i know that you want to protect me , but jeffrey o'neill said i have nothing to worry about , and he 's the professional . reva : you know what ? i do n't know why jeffrey is downplaying this whole thing because this nonprofessional knows that that woman in europe is a fraud and a criminal , and she 's living a lie with your name attached to it . cassie : so am i supposed to be so furious that i call interpol and have them arrest her ? reva : well , you know , that 's w most victims would respond , yes . cassie : i do n't feel like a victim . reva : and that 's exactly what worries me . cassie : can we just drop this ? can we just ... no , we ca n't . okay . reva : there 's something else going on here . cassie : we should get that massage therapist back because i 'm more tense now than i was earlier . reva : you and edmund just moved in here , right ? cassie : yeah . so ? reva : well , as much as i did n't think that that was the wisest decision you could make , i do know that it 's something you wanted more than anything else in this world . him and this farm . cassie : it is , reva . it is . reva : and you 're happy living here ? living this life ? this life ? cassie : yes , i am . very happy here . i do n't want to do this anymore .

( laughs ) jeffrey : now , you did n't honestly think that you could go on impersonating cassie winslow and get away with it , did you ? dinah : i see you still have the beard . i like it . it 's rough , just like you . jeffrey : stop it . i 'm shutting you down , okay ? your game is over , tonight . dinah : the game was a lot more fun when you were a part of it . ross : all right , you have access to anything and everything . just take your time and please get it right . frank : you think i 'm running a crooked police department , ross ? ross : no , i do n't , frank . i 'm trying to help you . questions have been raised . frank : by an anonymous phone caller ? ross : the allegations were specific and serious and it is my job to see that they are either proved or disproved . frank : let me give you some advice , ross . i do n't think it 's a very good idea to antagonize the police department so early on in your term . ross : do n't go there , frank . listen , if there 's a dirty cop in your department , do n't you want to know about it ? frank : i already know there isn't . ross : well , then there 's nothing to worry about . if there 's no dirt to be found , ia is not going to come up with anything , are they ? gus : well , now , why should n't i go down to the police station ? alexandra : because it is the last place in the world you should be tonight , particularly when you have a lovely fiancee waiting to spend time with you . gus : i just told you that she 's got plans . alexandra : well , they ca n't be very important if they do n't include you , can they ? gus : we 're not exactly conjoined twins . we 're not joined at the hip . alexandra : all right , well , i do n't like the sound of that . gus : what are you saying ? alexandra : well , usually couples who have an impending marriage , you know , when they 're so much in love , want to spend every waking moment together before ... gus : we were just together , just now . alexandra : so you 're now content to go down to the police station , just ... gus : we 're not in any trouble because she 's having a massage . alexandra : oh , all right . maybe i am overreacting , but look , gus , it 's just that i could n't live with myself if i thought i was the one driving this wedge between you and harley . now , come on . you said so yourself this was a concern . gus : do n't worry about it . she seems to be fine lately . alexandra : fine . then ai n't things wonderful ? gus : what are you talking about ? what is this about ? alexandra : oh , honestly . when are you going to look me in the eye and not see a liar ? gus : probably never . it does n't matter that i 'm a liar , too , so ... and we 're in this particular lie together and we 're just going toth have to stick it ... stick it out and see what happens , and hope for the best . alexandra : what about the police station ? gus : i do n't feel like going to the police station now . going down there , playing honorable chief of detectives , no thank you . it just does n't appeal to me all of a sudden . alexandra : come on , cheer up . this thing is going to be behind us very soon and i also have a feeling that frank is going to drop this entire investigation and we can get back to living our lives . oh , come on . you 'll see . harley : ah , life is good . reva : you know , i thought you 'd be at the point in your wedding planning where you 'd want to commit murder . harley : no , not yet . cassie : she 's a slow starter . reva : but it 's the spauldings . it 's hard enough living in the same town with them , as marrying one . harley : yeah . and do n't think i was n't sweating it going into this thing , because we both know i 'm a two - time loser when it comes to that family . but alan and alex have been very pleasant . reva : you know what ? do n't press so hard . you 're cutting off all the blood from the feet to the brain . ( laughter ) harley : i am serious . they have gone out of their way to be totally cooperative . and the weird thing is , so have i . cassie : how so ? harley : well , you know , the spauldings want to make this wedding a bit more of an event than i had originally intended , and i 'm just going with it . reva : i have never heard you say that ever , about anything , in my life . harley : well , i have never loved anyone as much as i love gus . and as long as he 's getting what he wants with this wedding , i 'm happy , because i could get married in the back of a cab . i do n't care . i just want to be his wife . cassie : that 's how i felt when i married richard . really . and talk about a wedding . ours really was a state affair . do you remember ? ( laughs ) harley : but you know what i remember about your wedding that i loved ? it was the little things . it was the subtle touches , like when you took all those pills and you could n't walk down the aisle and we had to give you , like , a gallon of coffee . ( laughter ) cassie : oh , gosh . i thought it was going to be a circus and when i walked down the aisle , all those people were looking at me . but there was richard , standing at the altar waiting for me . and the best part was when all the hoopla was over , i was married to the man i loved . reva : that 's the general idea . cassie : it was such a fairy tale . it did n't just stop with the wedding , though . i mean , when i realized that i could make a difference in people 's lives and help the people in san cristobel , and it was only a phone call away , it was just amazing . harley : that 's the nice thing about being a princess . cassie : it was a long time ago . at least it seems like it . oh , speaking of princesses , i went on a royalty gossip web site . reva : well , of course you did . cassie : i wanted to see if i could get any information on the person who is posing as me , and guess what ? harley : you got a hit . cassie : lots of them . oh , yes . tons of parties . princess cassie gets around . harley : well , you think that maybe one of your friends from the royal party circuit would have notified you of this . cassie : i 've never even heard of half of these events , so i do n't think the people i knew went to these things . harley : well , did you get a picture of her ? was there anything ? cassie : no . nothing . i mean , this woman went to a lot of trouble to cover her tracks . well , kind of . reva : cassie , she 's been impersonating you in public at very high - profile events . that 's pretty blatant . cassie : i know . it 's as if she wanted me to get some information , just not all of it . jeffrey : i said , stop it . dinah : okay . what ? i missed you , that 's all . i just ... i do n't know , i do n't think your voice did it for me on the phone . jeffrey : i knew i could n't trust you . that 's why i 'm here to deliver this message personally . this has to stop , dinah . dinah : why ? i 'm having so much fun . you used to have fun , too . you remember the fun we used to have , do n't you ? jeffrey : she 's onto you . dinah : who ? jeffrey : well , i 'll give you one guess . here 's a hint : you shot and killed the man that she loved . dinah : i loved hart , too . how do you know cassie is onto me ? did she find you ? oh . it was the other way around , was n't it ? good for you . you finally did it . you 're living in springfield . i should have known that 's where you 'd go -- right after cassie . michelle : tony ! whoo ! you made it ! tony : hello .

( laughs ) reva : i wish you would . cassie : i know that you want to protect me , but jeffrey o'neill said i have nothing to worry about , and he 's the professional . reva : you know what ? i do n't know why jeffrey is downplaying this whole thing because this nonprofessional knows that that woman in europe is a fraud and a criminal , and she 's living a lie with your name attached to it . cassie : so am i supposed to be so furious that i call interpol and have them arrest her ? reva : well , you know , that 's w most victims would respond , yes . cassie : i do n't feel like a victim . reva : and that 's exactly what worries me . cassie : can we just drop this ? can we just ... no , we ca n't . okay . reva : there 's something else going on here . cassie : we should get that massage therapist back because i 'm more tense now than i was earlier . reva : you and edmund just moved in here , right ? cassie : yeah . so ? reva : well , as much as i did n't think that that was the wisest decision you could make , i do know that it 's something you wanted more than anything else in this world . him and this farm . cassie : it is , reva . it is . reva : and you 're happy living here ? living this life ? this life ? cassie : yes , i am . very happy here . i do n't want to do this anymore .

[ doorbell rings ] alexis : oh . cleaning lady . there 's nothing to clean . i cleaned it all yesterday . come in , bev ! the door 's open ! you . valentin : you were expecting somebody else ? [ scene_break ] curtis : i 'm here to see you , of course . you come in here every wednesday after your spin class , right ? you get that delicious green drink , right ? am i right ? valerie : [ chuckles ] yeah , i did n't realize you knew my schedule so well . curtis : what kind of boyfriend would i be if i did n't ? so , i was thinking we 'll go eat break -- well , i 'll eat breakfast , you drink yours . valerie : [ chuckles ] curtis : but since we always go out at night , i thought it was nice to just change things up a bit . valerie : that 's sweet . what were you staring at on your phone ? curtis : oh , this . some cheating spouse stuff , you know , like -- you do n't want to get into it . i do n't want to get into the details , but it ai n't pretty . valerie : i get it . we work in similar fields . there 's things about your job that i ca n't know , just like there are things about mine that you ca n't . curtis : right . valerie : there 's this fine line that we both just ca n't cross . but i am really glad that you 're not working for julian jerome anymore . i mean , what you said was right . some jobs just are n't worth the money . curtis : right , you said it . [ scene_break ] jason : so , the doctor came by while you were sleeping , and she said everything is fine . the baby 's fine . you 're fine . we 're fine . sam : okay , so the pain is n't anything serious ? jason : no , she said something called round ligament pain . sam : oh . okay , that 's such a relief . jason : oh , you know what round ligament pain is ? sam : yes , of course i know what it is . i read a ton of baby books when i was pregnant with danny . jason : important thing is , it 's nothing serious . you got to take it easy , but everything should be okay . sam : okay . take it easy , what does that mean ? does it mean bed rest , take it easy ? jason : no , it means you ca n't do anything strenuous , like exercise , jerky movements , anything like that . but other than that , everything should be back to normal . sam : [ chuckles ] normal ? did you explain to the doctor what normal is for me and you is not what 's normal for other people ? jason : yeah . but i thought you and i were trying to work on it being normal for us . [ scene_break ] franco : you have got to be kidding me . tracy did n't have anything to do with getting my mother to confess to those attacks . i did that . tracy : okay , thank you . thank you , everybody . while the reopening of general hospital is a victory , it 's only one victory . the battle to stay open and stay solvent has just begun . i did manage to convince the majority of board members to reopen , but there are still those that believe that selling is the best option . so it 's up to us to remind them what this hospital means to the community . the best way to do that is by doing our best work . monica : and we 're close to reopening , so let 's get going and do our best work . again , thank you and welcome back . [ applause ] elizabeth : you okay ? franco : yeah , yeah , yeah . i 'm fine . elizabeth : for what it 's worth , i know the person who 's really responsible for getting gh reopened . hayden : well , as usual , your take is ass - backwards , elizabeth . elizabeth : oh , you may not know this , but franco is the one who got his mother to admit to attacking bobbie and lucas . he 's the reason gh is back in business . hayden : really ? because a normal person would admit that franco 's nutjob of a mother is one of the reasons gh closed down . elizabeth : okay , you do n't need to be here to listen to this . can you give me a minute ? franco : yeah , sure . i 'll be right over there . hayden : ca n't believe they hired him back . if gh wants to clean up its reputation , having a killer on the staff is not the way to do it . elizabeth : franco had nothing to do with the crimes here . they lifted his suspension , and he works here . which is more than i can say for you . what are you even doing here ? this gathering is for employees only . hayden : well , obviously , you have n't noticed my badge . i 'm general hospital 's new financial manager . [ scene_break ] griffin : hey , dante , thanks for coming . dante : yeah , of course . we got patrol units watching the house . griffin : good , great . i have to say , it feels a little weird . i 've never needed guards before . dante : yeah . well , i 've seen valentin 's dirty work up close . why take the chance , you know ? griffin : yeah . anna : hopefully , we wo n't need a police patrol for long . we 're gon na figure this out , okay ? griffin : great . hey , thank you for everything . especially protecting my daughter . dante : do n't mention it . griffin : appreciate it . anna : have a good day . griffin : thank you . anna : how are you holding up ? dante : oh , you mean with morgan ? not great . anna : i 'm sorry . i 'm so sorry . dante : it 's just -- it 's stupid . [ sniffles ] playing it back , and , uh ... if we had nailed julian for what he did to duke , then none of this would have happened . my brother would still be alive . and i feel like , uh ... i feel like a bit of a failure , as a cop and as a brother . anna : do n't . do n't do that . dante : i 'm sorry , 'cause i know you wanted to get julian more than anyone . anna : i did , yes . but the jerome case , i mean , so much went wrong with it . if you need anything . i mean anything . dante : thanks . appreciate it . work is good , though , you know . anna : yeah . dante : it keeps me distracted . anna : good , yeah , i know . actually , there is something you can do for me . dante : name it . anna : tell me everything you know about valentin cassadine . everything . [ scene_break ] valentin : i apologize for coming over unannounced . alexis : no worries . i 'll just call the police . they 're my friends . valentin : yeah , i bet . but is that any way to treat me ? we 're family , after all . alexis : my bad luck . so , you found your way in . you can find your way out . valentin : that 's a surprise . i mean in wyndemere and in greece , all sorts of people were helping themselves into my house . i thought it was some crazy port charles custom , some open - door policy . alexis : yeah . no , you 're not welcome . you need to leave . valentin : well , whether you like it or not , we are family . we 're blood . alexis : [ sighs ] valentin : i want to offer you a job , sis . [ scene_break ] finn : welcome back , dr. munro . griffin : same to you . it 's been a while since we 've ran into each other . finn : yeah . griffin : you certainly look better now than you did then . finn : yeah , i was going through some ... stuff . griffin : yeah , i , uh -- i have to admit , i was n't completely comfortable covering for you . can i trust that whatever was going on has been dealt with ? wo n't be an issue moving forward with your patients ? tracy : hello , dr. munro . uh , actually , dr. finn made me aware of the issues , and as a board member i determined that they were a private matter and would not affect patient care adversely . but thank you for your concern . griffin : sure . finn : thank you . thank you so much , but listen . you should n't stick your neck out like that for me anymore . once my current drug supply runs out , i imagine the tremors and sweats will come back with a vengeance . tracy : well , i have no doubt that you will have found a cure by then . finn : i missed the memo . when did you become such an optimist ? tracy : when the hospital reopened and you can redouble your research efforts in the lab , i have every reason to be optimistic . and besides , it 's remarkable how motivating it is to , uh , find something to live for . [ scene_break ] elizabeth : someone hired you to oversee hospital finances ? really , you , the daughter of the biggest swindler in the history of wall street ? hayden : you need to update your insults , elizabeth . jeff webber ring a bell ? however , growing up with raymond berlin taught me a lot . he understood how money worked and how to make more of it . elizabeth : by cheating people . hayden : the fact is , the hospital was hemorrhaging money while it was closed . gh needs to find a way to pay back all of its debt , or it 'll be sold . that 's why they hired me . to trim the fat . i do hope we do n't have to make any cuts to the nursing staff . [ scene_break ] valerie : i 'm just relieved some other gigs came in for you , so you 're not tempted by julian 's payroll . it 's easier to keep your principles when money is n't an issue . curtis : all i know is that even after a tough - ass workout doing cycling , you still look incredibly sexy . valerie : [ chuckles ] curtis : no , you do . you do . valerie : i 'm a sweaty mess , which is why i usually get my shakes to go . curtis : no . you 're not . watch this . look . ooh , ooh . valerie : curtis , stop ! curtis : [ laughs ] i think you 're beautiful , and i think social media 's gon na back me up on that . valerie : oh , you better not . curtis : okay , okay . well , look . i 'm gon na go get me a coffee and you the green stuff , okay ? [ chuckles ] beautiful . valerie : let 's see this . ugh . no way i 'm risking him posting this . delete . oh , my god . this is morgan 's case file . [ scene_break ] sam : i thought we were gon na table the idea of moving until things died down around here . jason : yeah , but i think i 'm close to something that will tie everything up . and i really think that a slower life is what this family and new baby need . sam : maybe . jason : yeah . sam : were you able to get in touch with my mom and tell her everything is gon na be okay ? jason : no , i called a few times , left some messages , but she has n't gotten back to me yet . sam : she has n't ? jason : mnh - mnh . sam : that 's -- that 's not like her . something must be up . [ scene_break ] alexis : you 're offering me a job ? valentin : why not ? you 're out of work . i 'm sure you 're eager to get back into the legal field . alexis : my license has been suspended . and i know that you know that , because you brought it up yesterday at wyndemere . valentin : the suspension does n't mean i ca n't hire you as a consultant . i ca n't think of anyone better suited to clear up the family estate , to prove that i do , in fact , hold the title to the cassadine estate , that even if nikolas was alive , he 's already legitimately surrendered his fortune to me . alexis : but nikolas is no longer alive , and i 'm told that you killed him . so clearly , i ca n't take the job you 're offering . and that dracula charm that some people may find amusing ? i 'm not amused . i 'm a cassadine , remember ? i know exactly who you are . valentin : well , of course , you do . because you are more like me than you care to admit . you do n't get suspended from the bar for upstanding behavior . and from what i read , there were multiple ethics violations . so , well done , sis . alexis : well , i 'm not perfect . but i 'm nothing like you . valentin : of course , you are . we 're both mikkos ' bastards . cast aside by a father who could n't stand the wrath of the pit viper he was married to . helena cassadine could put medea to shame . despite father 's powerful reputation , everybody knew it was her to be reckoned with . it 's because of her that we were denied what we were rightfully owed . but that was n't enough , was it ? she tracked down your mother . and ... we 're the same , you and i ... natasha . of the cassadines , and yet not of the cassadines . and we deserve to inherit everything . [ scene_break ] finn : i have no idea what you 're talking about . tracy : [ laughs ] really ? that 's your best defense , total denial ? finn : no , no denial , not denying . tracy : finn , i see the looks passing back and forth between you and hayden . i 'm your friend . i want you to be happy . i do admit that i 'm not quite sure what you see in her . finn : really ? yet you got her a job here at gh , handling the finances ? tracy : well , she 's smart . she 's savvy . general hospital needs to tighten its belt , and she 's , uh ... ruthless . finn : ruthless , well , that 's good . i 'm glad you got her hired , then . but as for me and hayden , there is n't anything between us and there never will be . we mostly made that clear to each other . tracy : okay . then i apologize for suggesting anything different . finn : you know , i do find it somewhat ironic that you would n't hire her at elq , but you hired her here . tracy : somebody on the board thought it might be a good idea for her to be close by . i guess that person 's radar was off . [ scene_break ] curtis : yeah , all right . coffee for me and this green -- beautiful green drink for you . valerie : you want to explain this to me ? curtis : baby ... no . valerie : do n't `` baby `` me . you never stopped working for julian jerome . you 've been lying to my face , playing me for a fool . [ scene_break ] dr. obrecht : the hospital has reopened , and you have your job back . why are you pouting ? franco : i do n't have any patients yet . dr. obrecht : what 's really wrong , mein freund ? i do n't like seeing you like this . franco : no ? i thought schadenfreude was your favorite emotion . dr. obrecht : i suppose there was a time when i took joy in other people 's misery . but in this last year , i was stripped of being chief of staff , banished to the records room , and i saw that gave joy to many people . it did n't feel good . it 's almost given me a sense of -- what is the word ? franco : empathy . dr. obrecht : oh , god . nein . i hope not . franco : so , i single - handedly saved the hospital . is it too much to ask for a simple thank you from monica ? dr. obrecht : you think that 's bad ? several senior staff members accused me of being the serial killer . have any of them apologized to me ? not one . franco : but here 's the thing , right . the biggest obstacle , the biggest hurdle that i face in my relationship with elizabeth is that i 'm not just the town pariah , right ? i 'm pretty much the pariah of all of upstate new york . and if nobody 's ever gon na let me forget that , how am i ever gon na get things right with elizabeth ? dr. obrecht : oh , please , franco . the biggest threat to your relationship with elizabeth is you . and how you screw things up , like you always do . [ scene_break ] griffin : thank you for the assist again with charlotte 's meltdown . i was clueless . elizabeth : oh , please , it was no problem . i do n't know if you know this , but robin and i go way back . she called me last night and told me you and charlotte are staying with them . griffin : yeah . anna and robin and emma have insisted that charlotte and i are family . you know , they 've gone above and beyond , just the way you did last night . elizabeth : do you remember a little while back , when my house exploded and everybody here on staff was so generous , and they donated things to get me back on my feet ? you were a part of that , and you did n't even know me . so i am more than happy to return the favor . griffin : yeah , well , i 'm gon na need all the help i can get to keep my daughter safe . [ scene_break ] anna : had you heard that i rejoined the wsb ? did you hear that ? dante : [ sighs ] i did hear that . anna : oh , yeah . dante : i guess they got lucky . anna : well , you know . i 'm always open to consult with the pcpd should they need it . dante : okay . anna : i 'm the wsb point person to investigate valentin cassadine . and , of course , you know i 'm looking into his background on griffin 's behalf . and to find out whether claudette 's claim , you know , that he 's after her and charlotte is accurate and why . so if you have any information at all about him , i would really be grateful . dante : well , you know he 's the bastard son of mikkos cassadine , right ? anna : yeah . dante : i guess by now you already know that he held a few of us captive on the island , shot kevin , killed nikolas . anna : but you were with him for days . i mean , what did he say ? did he talk about his past , about where he lived , anything like that ? because i 'm thinking if he has claudette , i would n't know where he would take her . dante : the only thing i remember is some story about him bringing fish to the villa when he was a kid , and he met nikolas in the kitchen . i do n't know if it 's true or not , or if it was part of his cover as a fisherman or whatever . anna : okay . well , it was worth a shot . dante : there was one thing , actually . [ scene_break ] alexis : i 'm not interested in joining your club , brother . i have no stake , nor do i have any interest in the estate . valentin : you 're every bit as deserving as i am . alexis : oh , i 'm infinitely more deserving than you are . but our father , may he burn in hell , was an unrepentant misogynist , so we wee women are n't allowed to inherit anything . valentin : that 's very interesting . but mikkos is dead , and i 'm not him . i would just as soon share the fortune with those cast out like i was . all you have to do to get your share is prove that my claim to the cassadine estate is legal . alexis : hmm . so what if my research proves that spencer owns the estate , what then ? valentin : well , i 'm pretty confident things are gon na shake out my way . but i will make a deal with you . if you make a good - faith effort to prove my claim , and it does fall through , i 'll leave . alexis : you 'll leave . valentin : yeah . i 'll go back to europe . i 'll never bother you or yours again . what do you say ? [ door opens ] sam : mom ! jason : back off . back off . back off . you . what are you doing here ? huh ? what are you doing here ? [ scene_break ] hayden : hello . finn : hello . hi . hayden : hi . finn : hi . congratulations . tracy told me you were hired as the new financial manager . hayden : yeah , i still ca n't believe that she pushed the board to hire me . i suppose i have you to thank . finn : no . no , i 'm not on the board . hayden : well , i 'm permanently tainted by my association with raymond berlin . but because tracy quartermaine thinks you walk on water , i got a job here . finn : it 's because of you . after trying to get you a job at elq and how that all worked out , believe me i learned my lesson . you were hired here for your own financial acumen . i had nothing to do with that , and it 's good to have you on board . okay . hayden : hey , wait . um ... finn : yes ? hayden : i think i owe you an apology . [ scene_break ] curtis : i get it , i get it , you 're upset , but please know that i never meant to deceive you . valerie : oh , it was so easy , you could do it without even trying ? curtis : baby , when i told you i was n't gon na work for julian , i meant that . valerie : do you know how bad this is ? you took advantage of my position at the pcpd to access a classified file . curtis : it 's not like i seduced you and snuck the file while you were sleeping . you got called away , and you left it on the desk . valerie : and what ? you saw dollar signs ? or what , you wanted to impress that dirtbag julian jerome ? finish that sentence in a way that does n't make it sound like you used me . curtis : when i first saw the file , i did n't even want to look at it . but it just fell on the floor . valerie : wow . how convenient . curtis : it was an accident . it was an accident , okay ? but when it fell , it opened up . i saw all those pictures . [ sighs ] i did n't think there would be any harm in me just snapping a few photos . valerie : you know , i admit it . i screwed up . it was a rookie mistake for me to get distracted and leave that file out . but you are my boyfriend , and you did n't even have the decency to look away ? do you know what kind of trouble i could get in ? i could lose my job . curtis : you 're not gon na lose your job . valerie : what if jordan had walked in and saw you taking a picture of that file ? my god ! why did n't i listen to her ? you 're everything she warned me about . curtis : and that was what , exactly ? [ scene_break ] jason : yeah , i heard you were in town , but i did n't think you 'd be dumb enough to show up around my wife or her family . valentin : perhaps it escapes you , but it 's actually my family as well . in some convoluted way , we are now in - laws . jason : what do you think i would do to you if you hurt somebody i love , huh ? what do you think i would do ? alexis : jason , it 's not worth it . valentin : i 'm gon na show myself out . i 'm clearly not welcome here . think about my offer . alexis : you know what ? it 's -- valentin : this is my card . this is how you can get ahold of me . oh , and regarding the case of wine . i 'm sorry for having that delivered . i only meant it as a gift . i did n't realize you were n't drinking anymore . [ scene_break ] anna : so valentin and this daphne . okay , so they create a different identity and then they just vanish . see , that takes a lot of influence , to do that . dante : yeah , and valentin , he was acting pretty cavalier about being arrested . like it did n't matter what he did , up to and including killing nikolas . those charges were n't gon na stick . anna : well , they never do . he must have enough money to be able to bribe his way out of trouble , or he has the ear of enough powerful people to make things happen . dante : well , i doubt anyone who took a bribe or let a killer go is gon na stand up and admit to that . anna : no , but it 's worth asking the question . [ scene_break ] elizabeth : anna really is the best at what she does . griffin : that is reassuring . you know , on an entirely different topic , i 'm sorry for the weirdness with franco yesterday . elizabeth : oh , no . no , no , you have nothing to apologize for . that was just franco being franco . i guess he has a bit of a territorial streak . griffin : oh , so this has happened before . does it bother you ? [ scene_break ] dr. obrecht : i accept you for who you are . when you 're with me , you do n't feel the need to bottle up your dark emotions -- jealousy , rage , disturbing thoughts . but you bottle them up , pretend they do n't exist . you are concealing your true self from your precious elizabeth . franco : i like her . i really like her . dr. obrecht : yes , but my question is -- how long before that ticking time bomb in your head explodes ? franco : i do n't think i 'm hiding myself from elizabeth at all . i think i 'm trying to be a better person for elizabeth . dr. obrecht : this silly american obsession with good and evil . do n't you get it , franco ? we 're all the hero in our own story . franco : does n't mean i have to be the villain in everybody else 's story . dr. obrecht : my point is , there is no becoming a better person . that 's artificial . the person who really loves you will accept you for all of your flaws , even twinges of jealousy . trying to become someone you 're not for nurse webber will only end in pain for both of you . franco : i do n't know about that , but i think i have changed . and elizabeth and i , we talked about it , and i 'm not gon na be jealous anymore . dr. obrecht : is that a fact ? so it does n't bother you that elizabeth is chatting with sexy dr. munro ? franco : why does everybody think that guy 's so sexy ? dr. obrecht : i tell you , if i ever had the chance to glaze his strudel -- oh , my . [ scene_break ] elizabeth : yes , he has a history . i know all about it . i promise you , he wo n't make another scene like that again . franco : hey , guys . elizabeth : hey . franco : how 's it going ? [ scene_break ] valerie : jordan warned me that i could n't trust you . that you would lie to me , manipulate me , and that you would never take responsibility for anything . and is n't that exactly what just happened here ? curtis : we both know jordan 's opinion of me is tainted . valerie : by what ? by your history ? by your actions ? that 's called evidence , something we both know . curtis : i 'm not the same man as i was . valerie : the way you just screwed me over proves otherwise . curtis : listen -- valerie : do n't touch me , okay ? i have some thinking to do . curtis : about us , right ? valerie : oh , there is no `` us `` anymore . we 're done . curtis : if we 're done , then what do you need to think about ? valerie : about whether i should turn you in for stealing evidence . [ scene_break ] sam : are you okay ? alexis : i 'm fine . are you okay ? sam : me ? alexis : is the baby all right ? sam : yes . yeah . w are -- we 're fine . jason : a very easy - to - treat , minor condition . hey . alexis : are you sure you 're okay ? sam : yeah . jason : i called you a couple times last night . did you get my messages ? alexis : my phone died . i 'm sorry . promise me you 're okay . jason : she 's fine . she 's fine . she 's fine . all she has to do is get some rest before the baby 's born . i 'll make sure that happens . alexis : all right , well , that 's one less thing that i have to worry about , then . jason : yes , it is . hey , look . do you want a ride home ? 'cause i 'm thinking about going over to metro court , checking on carly . sam : i 'm okay . i 'm actually going to stay with my mom for a little bit . i 'll call a car . jason : yeah ? sam : yeah . jason : hey , listen to me . if that guy comes back , you call me . i do n't care when it is . call me . alexis : i will . jason : all right ? sam : yes . jason : bye . sam : bye . he means that , you know . alexis : i know . sam : you know . okay . well , will you humor me , please ? alexis : fine . sam : i mean , with just one question ? what exactly was this offer that valentin mentioned ? [ scene_break ] finn : hayden , you do n't owe me an apology for anything . hayden : i said some pretty harsh things to you the other day , especially about your wife . finn : that 's okay . hayden : i was way out of line to tell you to get over reiko and move on . i would n't know how long it takes to grieve that kind of love , because i 've never known it . and it was pretty heartless of me to insist that your grief have some sort of time table that was convenient for me . finn : i appreciate that . i do . hey , you know , i know you 're new here and all , and i 'll probably be seeing you and stuff . i do n't know , if you ever need someone to show you around , or you just need a lunch buddy or something , i 'm here . hayden : i 'm sorry . [ chuckles ] you misunderstood . i mean , i 'm glad we buried the hatchet , but i do n't want to be your buddy . [ scene_break ] elizabeth : we 're just talking about griffin 's daughter . franco : oh ! hey , you know , i thought i had one of those once -- a daughter . turns out somebody was just lying to me . you know a little something about that , right ? hey , um ... okay , so i have a little bit of a jealous streak , and it kind of reared its ugly head last night . i 'm really sorry , and i can do much better if you 'll just give me a second chance . griffin : i 'm okay . sure . yeah , we all need those . franco : you know , if we 're gon na be working together , i feel like we should get to know each other a little better . griffin : we should ? elizabeth : you should ? franco : oh , yeah . hell yeah . oh . sorry . i should -- because of the father . which is weird , right ? i do n't know whether to call you `` father `` or not , 'cause you do n't have a collar . griffin : listen , i have a lot on my plate right now . franco : no , come on . it 'll take like five minutes . we 're not even open for business yet . dr. obrecht : no , not jealous one bit . monica : dr. obrecht , there 's and ambulance coming in with two critical patients . you on board ? dr. obrecht : but you banished me to the records room . monica : well , it 's a whole new era , and if you play the rules , keep your nose clean , we 'll take it from there . [ scene_break ] hayden : i would n't dream of forcing you to move on before you 're ready . but the truth is , i do have feelings for you . so if all you want from me is a lunch buddy , um ... i wo n't do that to myself . finn : i understand . hayden : so , i think it 's best if we keep our relationship professional from here on out , dr. finn . especially since we 're gon na be working in the same building . finn : ms. barnes . tracy : still trying to make me believe you do n't have feelings for her ? [ scene_break ] curtis : julian , look , man . i swung by your office . you 're still not there . look , time is of the essence , man . the cops are breathing down my neck . now , look , i 've got some important information , some intel on sonny corinthos . i need to talk to you asap . all right . jason : info on sonny , huh ? you want to talk to somebody asap ? here i am . what do ya got ?

'cause if you had n't done that , we both would n't have a job . [ elevator bell dings ] elizabeth : look , franco , we 're home . monica : may i have your attention , please ? i asked all of you to come here just a little early , because i thought it was important that we kind of reflect on what 's happened since general hospital temporarily closed and to celebrate the victory of it opening again . because in just about an hour , gh is gon na be up and running , and we 're gon na be doing what we do best , and that 's serving the people of this town .

[ scene_break ] franco : you have got to be kidding me . tracy did n't have anything to do with getting my mother to confess to those attacks . i did that . tracy : okay , thank you . thank you , everybody . while the reopening of general hospital is a victory , it 's only one victory . the battle to stay open and stay solvent has just begun . i did manage to convince the majority of board members to reopen , but there are still those that believe that selling is the best option . so it 's up to us to remind them what this hospital means to the community . the best way to do that is by doing our best work . monica : and we 're close to reopening , so let 's get going and do our best work . again , thank you and welcome back .

[ scene_break ] elizabeth : someone hired you to oversee hospital finances ? really , you , the daughter of the biggest swindler in the history of wall street ? hayden : you need to update your insults , elizabeth . jeff webber ring a bell ? however , growing up with raymond berlin taught me a lot . he understood how money worked and how to make more of it . elizabeth : by cheating people . hayden : the fact is , the hospital was hemorrhaging money while it was closed . gh needs to find a way to pay back all of its debt , or it 'll be sold . that 's why they hired me . to trim the fat . i do hope we do n't have to make any cuts to the nursing staff . [ scene_break ] valerie : i 'm just relieved some other gigs came in for you , so you 're not tempted by julian 's payroll . it 's easier to keep your principles when money is n't an issue . curtis : all i know is that even after a tough - ass workout doing cycling , you still look incredibly sexy . valerie : [ chuckles ] curtis : no , you do . you do . valerie : i 'm a sweaty mess , which is why i usually get my shakes to go . curtis : no . you 're not . watch this . look . ooh , ooh . valerie : curtis , stop ! curtis : [ laughs ] i think you 're beautiful , and i think social media 's gon na back me up on that . valerie : oh , you better not . curtis : okay , okay . well , look . i 'm gon na go get me a coffee and you the green stuff , okay ?

[ scene_break ] alexis : you 're offering me a job ? valentin : why not ? you 're out of work . i 'm sure you 're eager to get back into the legal field . alexis : my license has been suspended . and i know that you know that , because you brought it up yesterday at wyndemere . valentin : the suspension does n't mean i ca n't hire you as a consultant . i ca n't think of anyone better suited to clear up the family estate , to prove that i do , in fact , hold the title to the cassadine estate , that even if nikolas was alive , he 's already legitimately surrendered his fortune to me . alexis : but nikolas is no longer alive , and i 'm told that you killed him . so clearly , i ca n't take the job you 're offering . and that dracula charm that some people may find amusing ? i 'm not amused . i 'm a cassadine , remember ? i know exactly who you are . valentin : well , of course , you do . because you are more like me than you care to admit . you do n't get suspended from the bar for upstanding behavior . and from what i read , there were multiple ethics violations . so , well done , sis . alexis : well , i 'm not perfect . but i 'm nothing like you . valentin : of course , you are . we 're both mikkos ' bastards . cast aside by a father who could n't stand the wrath of the pit viper he was married to . helena cassadine could put medea to shame . despite father 's powerful reputation , everybody knew it was her to be reckoned with . it 's because of her that we were denied what we were rightfully owed . but that was n't enough , was it ? she tracked down your mother . and ... we 're the same , you and i ... natasha . of the cassadines , and yet not of the cassadines . and we deserve to inherit everything . [ scene_break ] finn : i have no idea what you 're talking about . tracy : [ laughs ] really ? that 's your best defense , total denial ? finn : no , no denial , not denying . tracy : finn , i see the looks passing back and forth between you and hayden . i 'm your friend . i want you to be happy . i do admit that i 'm not quite sure what you see in her . finn : really ? yet you got her a job here at gh , handling the finances ? tracy : well , she 's smart . she 's savvy . general hospital needs to tighten its belt , and she 's , uh ... ruthless . finn : ruthless , well , that 's good . i 'm glad you got her hired , then . but as for me and hayden , there is n't anything between us and there never will be . we mostly made that clear to each other . tracy : okay . then i apologize for suggesting anything different . finn : you know , i do find it somewhat ironic that you would n't hire her at elq , but you hired her here . tracy : somebody on the board thought it might be a good idea for her to be close by . i guess that person 's radar was off . [ scene_break ] curtis : yeah , all right . coffee for me and this green -- beautiful green drink for you . valerie : you want to explain this to me ? curtis : baby ... no . valerie : do n't `` baby `` me . you never stopped working for julian jerome . you 've been lying to my face , playing me for a fool .

[ scene_break ] alexis : i 'm not interested in joining your club , brother . i have no stake , nor do i have any interest in the estate . valentin : you 're every bit as deserving as i am . alexis : oh , i 'm infinitely more deserving than you are . but our father , may he burn in hell , was an unrepentant misogynist , so we wee women are n't allowed to inherit anything . valentin : that 's very interesting . but mikkos is dead , and i 'm not him . i would just as soon share the fortune with those cast out like i was . all you have to do to get your share is prove that my claim to the cassadine estate is legal . alexis : hmm . so what if my research proves that spencer owns the estate , what then ? valentin : well , i 'm pretty confident things are gon na shake out my way . but i will make a deal with you . if you make a good - faith effort to prove my claim , and it does fall through , i 'll leave . alexis : you 'll leave . valentin : yeah . i 'll go back to europe . i 'll never bother you or yours again . what do you say ?

[ scene_break ] curtis : i get it , i get it , you 're upset , but please know that i never meant to deceive you . valerie : oh , it was so easy , you could do it without even trying ? curtis : baby , when i told you i was n't gon na work for julian , i meant that . valerie : do you know how bad this is ? you took advantage of my position at the pcpd to access a classified file . curtis : it 's not like i seduced you and snuck the file while you were sleeping . you got called away , and you left it on the desk . valerie : and what ? you saw dollar signs ? or what , you wanted to impress that dirtbag julian jerome ? finish that sentence in a way that does n't make it sound like you used me . curtis : when i first saw the file , i did n't even want to look at it . but it just fell on the floor . valerie : wow . how convenient . curtis : it was an accident . it was an accident , okay ? but when it fell , it opened up . i saw all those pictures . [ sighs ] i did n't think there would be any harm in me just snapping a few photos . valerie : you know , i admit it . i screwed up . it was a rookie mistake for me to get distracted and leave that file out . but you are my boyfriend , and you did n't even have the decency to look away ? do you know what kind of trouble i could get in ? i could lose my job . curtis : you 're not gon na lose your job . valerie : what if jordan had walked in and saw you taking a picture of that file ? my god ! why did n't i listen to her ? you 're everything she warned me about . curtis : and that was what , exactly ? [ scene_break ] jason : yeah , i heard you were in town , but i did n't think you 'd be dumb enough to show up around my wife or her family . valentin : perhaps it escapes you , but it 's actually my family as well . in some convoluted way , we are now in - laws . jason : what do you think i would do to you if you hurt somebody i love , huh ? what do you think i would do ? alexis : jason , it 's not worth it . valentin : i 'm gon na show myself out . i 'm clearly not welcome here . think about my offer . alexis : you know what ? it 's -- valentin : this is my card . this is how you can get ahold of me . oh , and regarding the case of wine . i 'm sorry for having that delivered . i only meant it as a gift . i did n't realize you were n't drinking anymore . [ scene_break ] anna : so valentin and this daphne . okay , so they create a different identity and then they just vanish . see , that takes a lot of influence , to do that . dante : yeah , and valentin , he was acting pretty cavalier about being arrested . like it did n't matter what he did , up to and including killing nikolas . those charges were n't gon na stick . anna : well , they never do . he must have enough money to be able to bribe his way out of trouble , or he has the ear of enough powerful people to make things happen . dante : well , i doubt anyone who took a bribe or let a killer go is gon na stand up and admit to that . anna : no , but it 's worth asking the question . [ scene_break ] elizabeth : anna really is the best at what she does . griffin : that is reassuring . you know , on an entirely different topic , i 'm sorry for the weirdness with franco yesterday . elizabeth : oh , no . no , no , you have nothing to apologize for . that was just franco being franco . i guess he has a bit of a territorial streak . griffin : oh , so this has happened before . does it bother you ? [ scene_break ] dr. obrecht : i accept you for who you are . when you 're with me , you do n't feel the need to bottle up your dark emotions -- jealousy , rage , disturbing thoughts . but you bottle them up , pretend they do n't exist . you are concealing your true self from your precious elizabeth . franco : i like her . i really like her . dr. obrecht : yes , but my question is -- how long before that ticking time bomb in your head explodes ? franco : i do n't think i 'm hiding myself from elizabeth at all . i think i 'm trying to be a better person for elizabeth . dr. obrecht : this silly american obsession with good and evil . do n't you get it , franco ? we 're all the hero in our own story . franco : does n't mean i have to be the villain in everybody else 's story . dr. obrecht : my point is , there is no becoming a better person . that 's artificial . the person who really loves you will accept you for all of your flaws , even twinges of jealousy . trying to become someone you 're not for nurse webber will only end in pain for both of you . franco : i do n't know about that , but i think i have changed . and elizabeth and i , we talked about it , and i 'm not gon na be jealous anymore . dr. obrecht : is that a fact ? so it does n't bother you that elizabeth is chatting with sexy dr. munro ? franco : why does everybody think that guy 's so sexy ? dr. obrecht : i tell you , if i ever had the chance to glaze his strudel -- oh , my .

[ solemn music ] paul : if will is alive ... i believe in my heart that sonny would leave me . seeing the way that he talks about him ... the way that he looked at me when he thought that i was will . i 'm afraid that i 'm going to lose him forever . sami : unbelievable . elvis filed a restraining order on me . lucas : yeah , you and everybody else who broke into his house . sami : i knew it . lucas : you knew what ? sami : this proves it . that he is hiding something . it just means we have to get back there . we have to find out what 's going on . lucas : it means you need a lawyer , a real lawyer , is what it means . sami : i do n't have time for that . you have to bust me out of here . lucas : that verifies it . you are crazy . you have lost your mind , have n't you ? you know what , i 'm calling your mother . sami : what ? no , you 're not . lucas : yeah , that 's right . sami : do n't call her . give it back . what is the matter with you ? what are you , five ? lucas : what 's the matter with you ? even i know it 's a bad idea . sami : okay , you are the one who was complaining because we did n't include you . so now i am . i 'm asking for your help . lucas , will is out there . there is a chance that he could be alive . and we 're his parents . if there is anyone who is going to find out the truth about what happened to our son , it 's us . it 's his mom and dad . lucas : i knew you were gon na do that . i knew you were gon na pull something like that . fine , fine , fine . i 'll do it . just whatever you need , i 'll do it . what do you need ? sami : okay , okay , great . i just need you to pull off the best acting performance of your life , that 's all . lucas : huh ? you want me to play a lawyer or something ? they already saw me . they know i 'm not your lawyer . it 's not gon na work . sami : no , and i do n't have a blonde wig for you to bust out your surfer impression either . lucas : oh , here we go . sami : okay ? no , just do what you do best . be a drunk . lucas : a what ? ! i 'm not a drunk . sami : you can be today , right ? if you do n't want to pretend , you do n't have to . look , no one wants you to be sober more than i do . but today , you bring whatever you have on you , chug it , and then go out there and make a scene , yelling and screaming and doing your thing . lucas : you know , you could 've just asked me to cause a distraction . all right ? sami : make it big . make it believable . get all the eyes on you so i can sneak out of here unnoticed . yeah ? lucas : maybe . sami : can you do this ? because i really need to be able to count on you here . copd makes it hard to breathe . . justin : while you take a nap , we 'll go pick up some memphis barbecue . the dry rub is the best . adrienne : oh , you can go . i 'm not leaving my baby 's side . justin : i do n't think sonny wants his mother sitting at his bedside while he 's sleeping . adrienne : i 'm so not listening to him right now . sonny : i just want to get out of here . justin : the doctor said that he -- sonny : i do n't care what the doctor said , dad . i really don't . justin : he will let you go when he believes you 're ready , sonny . adrienne : you have to be careful with concussions . your brain needs a chance to heal . sonny : that 's great . well , i do n't have time to wait . justin : i know you 're antsy about continuing the search for will . but paul and john and a whole lot of other people are working on it . adrienne : you know , and it 's been a long time since i 've been able to sit with you and take care of you , so could you just let me be a mother for a little bit ? justin : you do n't want to worry your mother . sonny : but i 'm stuck in this bed . it 's gon na drive me crazy . justin : i promise you , no one is abandoning the search . not until we get the answers that we need . sonny : but last night -- justin : we all know what happened last night , okay ? in fact , i 'm heading down to the police station right now to make sure that this crackpot elvis impersonator does n't press charges against you . sonny : he knows something about will . i can feel it . justin : if he does , we 'll get to the bottom of it . okay ? but for now , we want to make sure that you 're out of trouble . okay ? sonny : okay . justin : good . hang in there . you 're all right . listen to your mother . sonny : mom , please . you have to help me . marlena : i do n't understand why it 's so hard to find another good lawyer in this town . john : well , i -- hey , will this guy do ? paul : justin , what 's up ? marlena : oh , my gosh , when did you get here ? justin : well , adrienne and i just arrived . came directly from the airport . what 's going on ? marlena : sami 's being held in jail here . she assaulted an officer , and we 're trying to get her out of here . justin : well , there 's legal reciprocity between memphis and salem . i could take her case . john : all right . marlena : you can ? oh ! oh , that would be great . justin : i 'm heading down there right now . i 'll see what i can do . john : sounds good . think you can get her out ? justin : well , assuming sami does n't do anything to make her situation worse . john : [ chuckles ] good luck . lucas : [ clears throat ] i am not doing it . i am not helping you escape . sami : what ? why not ? lucas : because it 's not gon na work , and we 're gon na get busted , that 's why . sami : not if you do it right . lucas : you 've been arrested twice in as many days . one more time , and that 's it . strike three , and you 're going to jail . sami : oh what , you come up with that all by yourself ? lucas : you 're making things worse , that 's the point . sami : no , what 's making things worse is us standing here talking about doing nothing . lucas : we 're not going to be able to do anything if you 're in jail . what 's the big deal ? sami : why are you always so dramatic ? lucas : i 'm dramatic ? ! me , i am ? ! look at you ! you 're the one who stole hope 's gun and you pulled it on rolf . sami : you heard about that . lucas : yeah , and then you beat up a cop . what 's going on with you , huh ? sami : okay , i did not beat up a cop , lucas . stop saying that , okay ? i just barely scratched him . lucas : you verbally abuse everybody , everybody you run into . especially the people that care about you . sami : you know what i was doing last night ? i was trying to find our son . what were you doing ? i found a lead , and i followed it . did you just get yourself drunk ? another drunken stupor like every night -- lucas : you do n't know what i do ; you have no idea . you do n't know what you 're talking about . sami : i know will would be ashamed of you . lucas : take it back . you take it back right now . sami : you snap out of it , lucas . this is serious . and i need your help ! and will needs your help . will could be alive out there , and if he is , he needs us . roger : you do n't have to worry now . i 'm doing what the king does best -- tcb . just taking care of business . i got a restraining order right here in my hot little hands . now if that sami brady or any of them salem yahoos try to get in here again , they 'll spend the next five to ten singing `` jailhouse rock . `` . gabi : that was so nice of eli to come with me to pick you at school , right ? and then to treat us to ice cream ? [ laughs ] arianna : thank you , eli . eli : you are more than welcome . and hey , i 'm always looking for an excuse to buy ice cream anyway . gabi : well , you 've got a long day tomorrow . so we should probably go . come on . arianna : no , do n't go . eli : [ laughs ] you know , i think i can stay a little bit longer . gabi : yeah , you would n't mind ? arianna would love that . thank you . eli : oh , please , there is no one i 'd rather be hanging with than you two . and besides , if i 'm really nice , maybe you 'll share your halloween candy with me ? gabi : [ gasps ] no , no , he 's taking it way too far , right ? no , eli , come on . arianna : eli . eli : yes ? arianna : my daddy 's coming to school tomorrow . gabi : um , ari , honey , listen . i just got some news , and your daddy actually , um -- he wo n't be able to make it tomorrow . he 's fine . he 's in the hospital . he 's in a place called memphis in tennessee . so he 's not gon na have enough time to get back here , but i was thinking that maybe i could read the story . i mean , i know i 'm not a daddy . but i 'm really great at reading stories . arianna : no , i want daddy . adrienne : as soon as you 're out of -- just take a sip -- as soon as you 're out of this hospital bed , i am gon na take you and arianna to the toy store , and i am gon na buy her the biggest stuffed animal i can find on those shelves . sonny : ari . adrienne : what ? what 's wrong ? sonny : tomorrow is father / daughter day at her preschool . i 'm gon na miss it . adrienne : well , i 'm sure we can work something out . maybe we can go next week . sonny : damn it ! i ca n't believe i 'm stuck here in this depressing hospital at a time like this . having everyone else get the answers for me . i 've got this freak elvis on the run , sami 's in trouble , and we 're not closer to finding out about will . adrienne : all right , listen to me . i know this is frustrating , all right ? but marlena , sami , lucas , everyone who loved will are as anxious to find out what 's going on as you are . sonny : no , they 're not . adrienne : yes , they are . of course they are . they all loved him . sonny : they were on good terms with him when he died . they have n't had to live with the guilt . wondering if i had n't pushed him away , if i was with him , if things would 've been different . adrienne : no , sonny , don't . sonny : do n't what ? do n't face the truth ? that i hurt him , that he died thinking i abandoned him ? adrienne : you do n't know that . sonny : yes , i do . if i had n't turned my back on him , if only i was with him at the time that that happened -- adrienne : sonny , sonny , listen to me , all right ? listen , just do n't play the `` if only `` game , all right ? it 's not helpful , and all -- what are you doing ? you 're punishing yourself . for what ? you and will were having problems when he died . honey , your anger was justified . sonny : i was so judgmental . i was unforgiving . i pushed him and pushed him . he reached out to me , and i ignored him . i ca n't -- [ winces ] adrienne : baby , what ? your head ? does it hurt ? sonny : it 's fine . it 's fine . adrienne : listen to me . listen to me . look at me . i need you stop torturing yourself with this guilt and this regret . honey , you 're a wonderful man with the most beautiful heart . and all of us , when we 're in relationships , i mean , emotions run high . they always do . and feelings , they get hurt , and sometimes so -- so profoundly , because so much is on the line . but no matter how much hurt and disappointment there is , there is always the love . does that make any sense ? sonny : yeah . you always make sense , because you ... you speak from your heart . adrienne : i just hope i 'm able to make you feel better . sonny : you always make me feel better , mom , thank you . adrienne : yeah . that 's the plan , right ? you need to get some rest , baby . it 's been a long week , okay ? sonny : hey , did -- did you ever talk to lucas ? did you let him know that it was bonnie who broke it off with him ? adrienne : i never found him . sonny : so lucas does n't know ? adrienne : it was so sad . i went to his hotel room , and all i found were empty alcohol bottles . i do n't know where he is , but i just hope that i 'm not too late . sami : i should 've known better . i should 've known better than to count on a reckless drunk . lucas : at least i can be honest about my drinking . i do n't run and hide from things like some people i know . sami : what ? lucas : you know what , i do n't want to get into this with you right now . you have no idea . you have no idea what i 've been through . sami : yes , actually , i do . because i loved will too , and if you 're talking about adrienne , i 'm sorry for what you went through , but at least she 's still alive . lucas : i did n't mean that . you know i did n't mean that . sami : i lost ej forever . okay ? i 've spent a year chasing shadows across the globe , but i had to pretend that everything was fine for our kids . every morning i had to wake up and be a mother to them . so yeah , look . we lose people that we love , and it sucks , but we ca n't sit here wallowing in self- pity , and we ca n't play the blame game . we have to just be brave and move on , and i 'm talking to you ! if you ca n't deal with this on your own , then you have to go get help . you have to talk to aa or to someone . do something to get your life back on track ! lucas : hold on , hold on ! i came here to help you , and you throw my problems in my face ? sami : you know what , i do n't need your help ! you just focus on you ! lucas : i jumped on a plane for you ! i came all the way here to make sure you were okay ! i was gon na tell the police that we 've been going through a hard time lately with all the losses we 've had , but you know what ? you want out of here , get out of here on your own ! i 'm gon na go get some real answers for a change . good luck . sami : luke ! you know what ? fine . i 'll find a way out of here on my own . . sami : hey , um , officer ? look , i know . um , just one thing . i want to apologize . i 'm sorry , i really am sorry for -- for hurting you . i 've just been through a lot this last year . i 'm -- i 'm a new widow . and , um , and then my son died , and it 's been a lot to take in , you know , and so ... i 'm acting crazy , and i apologize . and i guess i just have to ask if you could cut me a little slack -- just , you know , take the handcuffs off for a minute so i can breathe ? you should 've thought about that before you attacked a cop . sami : attacked a cop ? ! are you serious right now ? i scratched you ! it was a tiny little scratch ! you know , my dad -- justin : sami , sami , sami . uh , justin kiriakis . i am ms . brady 's attorney . she 's all yours . sami : what are you doing here ? justin : well , i ran into your mother in the hospital . sami : right . oh , my god . how 's sonny ? justin : he 's gon na be fine . thanks for asking . so i 'm handling your case now . the good news is , i ran into the da on my way in here . you 're free to go . sami : really ? oh , my god , that 's great . thank you . justin : yes , yes . i guess this roger fisher decided not to press charges . the bad news is , you are aware that there 's a restraining order ? okay ? so you ca n't get anywhere near him or his house , okay ? sami : yeah , no , i , i -- justin : or you go directly to jail . sami : he is lying about will . justin : no , no , sami , sami ! you got to back off . and this applies to you and everyone else that was there last night . okay ? now you should be grateful that they 're letting you go . 'cause you really ca n't afford to be arrested again . do you get it ? sami ? sami : i got it . justin : good . i got to take care of some paperwork , but if you want to wait for me , i can drive you over to the hospital . sami : thank you . um , no . if it 's gon na be a bunch of paperwork , this restraining order , um ... i should probably just go as soon as i possibly can , you know , 'cause if i stay any longer , i might actually punch that cop in the nose . justin : you sure ? sami : no , i 'm fine . you know what ? i 'm just gon na get a cab and go straight to the hospital , so i 'll see you there . justin : okay , all right . and i 'll get someone to , uh , release those cuffs . sami : okay . thank you . eli : so the book you picked for your dad to read is about skateboarding , huh ? oh , that 's cool . that sounds awesome . you know , i would love to read that book to your class . i know it 'll be sad to not have your dad there , but i 'm not too bad at reading stories myself . especially the ones where princesses can do 720s on a half - pipe . [ phone ringing ] gabi : sonny ? sonny : hey , i 'm sure you 've heard by now . i 'm really sorry i did n't tell you i was heading this way . it just happened so fast . gabi : no , do n't apologize . are you kidding me ? paul told me everything . are you okay ? sonny : yeah , i 'm just dying to get out of here and keep looking for will . gabi : i understand . sonny : and i 'm probably not gon na be able to make it to the father / daughter day . gabi : it 's fine . it 's fine . listen , um , eli 's gon na come in and read for her . sonny : oh , perfect . can you tell him thank you for me ? and also tell our little girl that i love her very , very much . gabi : i will . sonny : okay . and i 'll keep you posted , and if i hear anything about will , you 'll be the first i call . love you . gabi : love you too . adrienne : ari 's okay ? sonny : yeah , gabi seems to have everything under control .

[ phone ringing ] that 's gabi . i 'll , um , i 'll let her know what 's going on . sonny : yeah , thank you . i do n't know if i can handle that right now . paul : yeah , you get some rest , okay ? adrienne : oh , baby . [ gasps ] sonny : hey . you 're here . but paul said ... justin : you did n't think we 'd stay away , did you ? adrienne : not when our son needs us . oh , honey . marlena : look , i -- i tried my best to get sami to stay calm and cooperate , but she is determined to find out what happened to her son . john : let me ask you something , doc . does n't she understand the reason that she was arrested is because she was misbehaving ? and if she continues to misbehave , they 're not gon na release her ? marlena : yeah , well , in concept , she understands that . john : all right . marlena : in theory , but ... i tried to get her to stay quiet , you know . and i told her that i would talk to you about using your isa contact to see if somehow you could n't override the local police . john : yeah , yeah , i 'll -- i 'll give it a try , but we both know that 's a long shot . marlena : we do . and , uh , you know , if sami goes free ... [ laughs ] yikes . who knows what she might do next . john : yeah . marlena : this is just all about her son . and if anybody tries to get in her way , they will incur the wrath of sami . sami : look , if you 'd just give me a chance to explain . before you get angry , i will tell you everything . lucas : find anything about will ? sami : yes ! hope -- she found out that rolf was being hired by someone , and she got an address here in memphis , so we came here to check out the guy 's house . lucas : what guy ? what are you talking about ? sami : well , he turned out to be some creepy elvis impersonator . in fact , he said that he was the real elvis presley , and rolf brought him back from the dead . lucas : what ? ! sami : i know . lucas : did he say anything about will at all ? sami : he denied knowing him , but i think he 's lying . in fact , i know he 's covering up something . he is hiding something , so that 's why i started pushing at him , you know ? trying to get to the truth . lucas : that 's when the cops showed up ? sami : exactly . they showed up , and they got us all for breaking and entering . and they would n't even interview this elvis guy or ask him any questions about will , and that 's why i got so upset . i was just ... yeah , and this is him . this is the guy . um , excuse me , officer ? hey . where 's my lawyer ? well , she just called . she says she got hung up in court . but if she ever shows , give her this . sami : what 's this ? a restraining order filed by roger fisher . sami : who the hell is roger fisher ? the guy whose house you broke into last night . sami : wait , that guy 's here ? where is he ? i -- i have to talk to him . sorry , but , uh , elvis has left the building . [ chuckles ] [ suspenseful music ] roger : oh , here you are . do n't you worry , i just came from the police station . old elvis took care of everything . in the water , in the water . eli : so they 're sure sonny 's gon na be okay ? gabi : well , it sounds like it , according to paul . which would 've been nice to know last night . it seems like everyone in town is in memphis . eli : did they find the guy who 's paying this rolf ? gabi : they did , and they did n't get any real answers , which means will could still be alive . eli : how do you even wrap your head around something like that ? gabi : [ sighs ] you can't . i mean , i can't . i just ... even though ... eli , if this were true , this 'd be the most amazing , the most fantastic thing that could ever happen , especially for arianna . eli : right . i mean , to have her dad back ... gabi : yeah . yeah , speaking of my daughter , i got ta go pick her up at school , so ... eli : well , are you gon na tell her about sonny ? gabi : i mean , i have to . she 's gon na find out , and i know she 's gon na be upset . eli : you want me to come with you ? gabi : you have some time ? eli : i would n't have offered if i didn't . if -- if you think it 'll be okay . gabi : yeah . i think it will . thank you . arianna loves you , as if you had n't noticed already . eli : she 's a great little girl . gabi : you 're really sweet with her . actually , you have a great way with kids . but you know what ? i actually think it 's more that that . eli : oh , yeah ? gabi : yeah , you always make me feel better too . adrienne : you do n't know how good it is to know that you 're okay . justin : we got on a plane last night as soon as paul called us . we did n't know what we would find when we got here . sonny : yeah , well , you did n't need to come all this way . justin : uh , maybe you need to check the parenting guidebook . adrienne : mm - hmm . justin : when your kid 's in the hospital , you drop everything and you go . adrienne : and i 've been gone so long . i need to make up for lost time . sonny : that was n't your fault . adrienne : well , i 'm here now . and whenever you need . sonny : i 'm so glad you 're back . adrienne : [ laughs ] not nearly as glad as i am to be back . justin : just so you know , paul has been amazing . he 's made all the calls , he 's coordinated all the medical care . sonny : i know this has been so hard on him . first i call off the wedding , and now this uncertainty with will ... adrienne : he loves you so much , baby . sonny : i know he does . john : i just put a call in to the isa . see if we can grease some wheels here . what 's going on with this elvis guy ? paul : roger fisher . not much to report , but i 'm working on it . john : yeah . what about the llc ? paul ? llc . paul : i 'm sorry . my brain is all over the place . john : you have a talk with sonny in there ? paul : sort of . i was , uh ... i was sitting with him . and then he woke up . and then , uh , i squeezed his hand . he opened his eyes . and for a few seconds , he thought i was will . john : hell , i 'm sure that he 's probably pretty disoriented right now . paul : it 's just like he ca n't think about anything else . i mean , you saw the way that he went after that fisher guy last night . john : yeah , well , you know , he 's dealing with a lot of emotions and everything . paul : i understand the importance of the situation . sonny is well , and i 'm okay with that ; that 's great . [ sighs sharply ] i mean , i obviously want will to be alive . somewhere out there . john : do you believe he is ? paul : i do n't see how that 's possible . and sonny just keeps getting his hopes up higher and higher . i 'm afraid of what will happen to him if it all comes crumbling down . john : well , son , you helped him get through this once before ; you can do it again . paul : this time , this time is different . this time , i am not so sure . john ; all right , well ... let me ask you this then . are you ... worried about what might happen if will is alive ? [ solemn music ] paul : if will is alive ... i believe in my heart that sonny would leave me . seeing the way that he talks about him ... the way that he looked at me when he thought that i was will . i 'm afraid that i 'm going to lose him forever . sami : unbelievable . elvis filed a restraining order on me . lucas : yeah , you and everybody else who broke into his house . sami : i knew it . lucas : you knew what ? sami : this proves it . that he is hiding something . it just means we have to get back there . we have to find out what 's going on . lucas : it means you need a lawyer , a real lawyer , is what it means . sami : i do n't have time for that . you have to bust me out of here . lucas : that verifies it . you are crazy . you have lost your mind , have n't you ? you know what , i 'm calling your mother . sami : what ? no , you 're not . lucas : yeah , that 's right . sami : do n't call her . give it back . what is the matter with you ? what are you , five ? lucas : what 's the matter with you ? even i know it 's a bad idea . sami : okay , you are the one who was complaining because we did n't include you . so now i am . i 'm asking for your help . lucas , will is out there . there is a chance that he could be alive . and we 're his parents . if there is anyone who is going to find out the truth about what happened to our son , it 's us . it 's his mom and dad . lucas : i knew you were gon na do that . i knew you were gon na pull something like that . fine , fine , fine . i 'll do it . just whatever you need , i 'll do it . what do you need ? sami : okay , okay , great . i just need you to pull off the best acting performance of your life , that 's all . lucas : huh ? you want me to play a lawyer or something ? they already saw me . they know i 'm not your lawyer . it 's not gon na work . sami : no , and i do n't have a blonde wig for you to bust out your surfer impression either . lucas : oh , here we go . sami : okay ? no , just do what you do best . be a drunk . lucas : a what ? ! i 'm not a drunk . sami : you can be today , right ? if you do n't want to pretend , you do n't have to . look , no one wants you to be sober more than i do . but today , you bring whatever you have on you , chug it , and then go out there and make a scene , yelling and screaming and doing your thing . lucas : you know , you could 've just asked me to cause a distraction . all right ? sami : make it big . make it believable . get all the eyes on you so i can sneak out of here unnoticed . yeah ? lucas : maybe . sami : can you do this ? because i really need to be able to count on you here . copd makes it hard to breathe . . justin : while you take a nap , we 'll go pick up some memphis barbecue . the dry rub is the best . adrienne : oh , you can go . i 'm not leaving my baby 's side . justin : i do n't think sonny wants his mother sitting at his bedside while he 's sleeping . adrienne : i 'm so not listening to him right now . sonny : i just want to get out of here . justin : the doctor said that he -- sonny : i do n't care what the doctor said , dad . i really don't . justin : he will let you go when he believes you 're ready , sonny . adrienne : you have to be careful with concussions . your brain needs a chance to heal . sonny : that 's great . well , i do n't have time to wait . justin : i know you 're antsy about continuing the search for will . but paul and john and a whole lot of other people are working on it . adrienne : you know , and it 's been a long time since i 've been able to sit with you and take care of you , so could you just let me be a mother for a little bit ? justin : you do n't want to worry your mother . sonny : but i 'm stuck in this bed . it 's gon na drive me crazy . justin : i promise you , no one is abandoning the search . not until we get the answers that we need . sonny : but last night -- justin : we all know what happened last night , okay ? in fact , i 'm heading down to the police station right now to make sure that this crackpot elvis impersonator does n't press charges against you . sonny : he knows something about will . i can feel it . justin : if he does , we 'll get to the bottom of it . okay ? but for now , we want to make sure that you 're out of trouble . okay ? sonny : okay . justin : good . hang in there . you 're all right . listen to your mother . sonny : mom , please . you have to help me . marlena : i do n't understand why it 's so hard to find another good lawyer in this town . john : well , i -- hey , will this guy do ? paul : justin , what 's up ? marlena : oh , my gosh , when did you get here ? justin : well , adrienne and i just arrived . came directly from the airport . what 's going on ? marlena : sami 's being held in jail here . she assaulted an officer , and we 're trying to get her out of here . justin : well , there 's legal reciprocity between memphis and salem . i could take her case . john : all right . marlena : you can ? oh ! oh , that would be great . justin : i 'm heading down there right now . i 'll see what i can do . john : sounds good . think you can get her out ? justin : well , assuming sami does n't do anything to make her situation worse . john : [ chuckles ] good luck . lucas : [ clears throat ] i am not doing it . i am not helping you escape . sami : what ? why not ? lucas : because it 's not gon na work , and we 're gon na get busted , that 's why . sami : not if you do it right . lucas : you 've been arrested twice in as many days . one more time , and that 's it . strike three , and you 're going to jail . sami : oh what , you come up with that all by yourself ? lucas : you 're making things worse , that 's the point . sami : no , what 's making things worse is us standing here talking about doing nothing . lucas : we 're not going to be able to do anything if you 're in jail . what 's the big deal ? sami : why are you always so dramatic ? lucas : i 'm dramatic ? ! me , i am ? ! look at you ! you 're the one who stole hope 's gun and you pulled it on rolf . sami : you heard about that . lucas : yeah , and then you beat up a cop . what 's going on with you , huh ? sami : okay , i did not beat up a cop , lucas . stop saying that , okay ? i just barely scratched him . lucas : you verbally abuse everybody , everybody you run into . especially the people that care about you . sami : you know what i was doing last night ? i was trying to find our son . what were you doing ? i found a lead , and i followed it . did you just get yourself drunk ? another drunken stupor like every night -- lucas : you do n't know what i do ; you have no idea . you do n't know what you 're talking about . sami : i know will would be ashamed of you . lucas : take it back . you take it back right now . sami : you snap out of it , lucas . this is serious . and i need your help ! and will needs your help . will could be alive out there , and if he is , he needs us . roger : you do n't have to worry now . i 'm doing what the king does best -- tcb . just taking care of business . i got a restraining order right here in my hot little hands . now if that sami brady or any of them salem yahoos try to get in here again , they 'll spend the next five to ten singing `` jailhouse rock . `` . gabi : that was so nice of eli to come with me to pick you at school , right ? and then to treat us to ice cream ? [ laughs ] arianna : thank you , eli . eli : you are more than welcome . and hey , i 'm always looking for an excuse to buy ice cream anyway . gabi : well , you 've got a long day tomorrow . so we should probably go . come on . arianna : no , do n't go . eli : [ laughs ] you know , i think i can stay a little bit longer . gabi : yeah , you would n't mind ? arianna would love that . thank you . eli : oh , please , there is no one i 'd rather be hanging with than you two . and besides , if i 'm really nice , maybe you 'll share your halloween candy with me ? gabi : [ gasps ] no , no , he 's taking it way too far , right ? no , eli , come on . arianna : eli . eli : yes ? arianna : my daddy 's coming to school tomorrow . gabi : um , ari , honey , listen . i just got some news , and your daddy actually , um -- he wo n't be able to make it tomorrow . he 's fine . he 's in the hospital . he 's in a place called memphis in tennessee . so he 's not gon na have enough time to get back here , but i was thinking that maybe i could read the story . i mean , i know i 'm not a daddy . but i 'm really great at reading stories . arianna : no , i want daddy . adrienne : as soon as you 're out of -- just take a sip -- as soon as you 're out of this hospital bed , i am gon na take you and arianna to the toy store , and i am gon na buy her the biggest stuffed animal i can find on those shelves . sonny : ari . adrienne : what ? what 's wrong ? sonny : tomorrow is father / daughter day at her preschool . i 'm gon na miss it . adrienne : well , i 'm sure we can work something out . maybe we can go next week . sonny : damn it ! i ca n't believe i 'm stuck here in this depressing hospital at a time like this . having everyone else get the answers for me . i 've got this freak elvis on the run , sami 's in trouble , and we 're not closer to finding out about will . adrienne : all right , listen to me . i know this is frustrating , all right ? but marlena , sami , lucas , everyone who loved will are as anxious to find out what 's going on as you are . sonny : no , they 're not . adrienne : yes , they are . of course they are . they all loved him . sonny : they were on good terms with him when he died . they have n't had to live with the guilt . wondering if i had n't pushed him away , if i was with him , if things would 've been different . adrienne : no , sonny , don't . sonny : do n't what ? do n't face the truth ? that i hurt him , that he died thinking i abandoned him ? adrienne : you do n't know that . sonny : yes , i do . if i had n't turned my back on him , if only i was with him at the time that that happened -- adrienne : sonny , sonny , listen to me , all right ? listen , just do n't play the `` if only `` game , all right ? it 's not helpful , and all -- what are you doing ? you 're punishing yourself . for what ? you and will were having problems when he died . honey , your anger was justified . sonny : i was so judgmental . i was unforgiving . i pushed him and pushed him . he reached out to me , and i ignored him . i ca n't -- [ winces ] adrienne : baby , what ? your head ? does it hurt ? sonny : it 's fine . it 's fine . adrienne : listen to me . listen to me . look at me . i need you stop torturing yourself with this guilt and this regret . honey , you 're a wonderful man with the most beautiful heart . and all of us , when we 're in relationships , i mean , emotions run high . they always do . and feelings , they get hurt , and sometimes so -- so profoundly , because so much is on the line . but no matter how much hurt and disappointment there is , there is always the love . does that make any sense ? sonny : yeah . you always make sense , because you ... you speak from your heart . adrienne : i just hope i 'm able to make you feel better . sonny : you always make me feel better , mom , thank you . adrienne : yeah . that 's the plan , right ? you need to get some rest , baby . it 's been a long week , okay ? sonny : hey , did -- did you ever talk to lucas ? did you let him know that it was bonnie who broke it off with him ? adrienne : i never found him . sonny : so lucas does n't know ? adrienne : it was so sad . i went to his hotel room , and all i found were empty alcohol bottles . i do n't know where he is , but i just hope that i 'm not too late . sami : i should 've known better . i should 've known better than to count on a reckless drunk . lucas : at least i can be honest about my drinking . i do n't run and hide from things like some people i know . sami : what ? lucas : you know what , i do n't want to get into this with you right now . you have no idea . you have no idea what i 've been through . sami : yes , actually , i do . because i loved will too , and if you 're talking about adrienne , i 'm sorry for what you went through , but at least she 's still alive . lucas : i did n't mean that . you know i did n't mean that . sami : i lost ej forever . okay ? i 've spent a year chasing shadows across the globe , but i had to pretend that everything was fine for our kids . every morning i had to wake up and be a mother to them . so yeah , look . we lose people that we love , and it sucks , but we ca n't sit here wallowing in self- pity , and we ca n't play the blame game . we have to just be brave and move on , and i 'm talking to you ! if you ca n't deal with this on your own , then you have to go get help . you have to talk to aa or to someone . do something to get your life back on track ! lucas : hold on , hold on ! i came here to help you , and you throw my problems in my face ? sami : you know what , i do n't need your help ! you just focus on you ! lucas : i jumped on a plane for you ! i came all the way here to make sure you were okay ! i was gon na tell the police that we 've been going through a hard time lately with all the losses we 've had , but you know what ? you want out of here , get out of here on your own ! i 'm gon na go get some real answers for a change . good luck . sami : luke ! you know what ? fine . i 'll find a way out of here on my own . . sami : hey , um , officer ? look , i know . um , just one thing . i want to apologize . i 'm sorry , i really am sorry for -- for hurting you . i 've just been through a lot this last year . i 'm -- i 'm a new widow . and , um , and then my son died , and it 's been a lot to take in , you know , and so ... i 'm acting crazy , and i apologize . and i guess i just have to ask if you could cut me a little slack -- just , you know , take the handcuffs off for a minute so i can breathe ? you should 've thought about that before you attacked a cop . sami : attacked a cop ? ! are you serious right now ? i scratched you ! it was a tiny little scratch ! you know , my dad -- justin : sami , sami , sami . uh , justin kiriakis . i am ms . brady 's attorney . she 's all yours . sami : what are you doing here ? justin : well , i ran into your mother in the hospital . sami : right . oh , my god . how 's sonny ? justin : he 's gon na be fine . thanks for asking . so i 'm handling your case now . the good news is , i ran into the da on my way in here . you 're free to go . sami : really ? oh , my god , that 's great . thank you . justin : yes , yes . i guess this roger fisher decided not to press charges . the bad news is , you are aware that there 's a restraining order ? okay ? so you ca n't get anywhere near him or his house , okay ? sami : yeah , no , i , i -- justin : or you go directly to jail . sami : he is lying about will . justin : no , no , sami , sami ! you got to back off . and this applies to you and everyone else that was there last night . okay ? now you should be grateful that they 're letting you go . 'cause you really ca n't afford to be arrested again . do you get it ? sami ? sami : i got it . justin : good . i got to take care of some paperwork , but if you want to wait for me , i can drive you over to the hospital . sami : thank you . um , no . if it 's gon na be a bunch of paperwork , this restraining order , um ... i should probably just go as soon as i possibly can , you know , 'cause if i stay any longer , i might actually punch that cop in the nose . justin : you sure ? sami : no , i 'm fine . you know what ? i 'm just gon na get a cab and go straight to the hospital , so i 'll see you there . justin : okay , all right . and i 'll get someone to , uh , release those cuffs . sami : okay . thank you . eli : so the book you picked for your dad to read is about skateboarding , huh ? oh , that 's cool . that sounds awesome . you know , i would love to read that book to your class . i know it 'll be sad to not have your dad there , but i 'm not too bad at reading stories myself . especially the ones where princesses can do 720s on a half - pipe .

theresa 's voice : you 're the one who ruined my life . all you had to do was walk away and let ethan be with me , the woman he really loves . gwen : i mean , how could i have been so blind and so stupid ?

rebecca : honey -- honey , how could you know ? really ? i mean , and when you think about all the horrible things she 's done -- i mean , it is very hard to believe that one person could be that duplicitous . gwen : it 's also very hard to imagine the kind of brain that would hatch a plan to marry alistair . what , so she can steal ethan and jane away from me ? theresa 's voice : jane is my daughter , mine and ethan 's . rebecca : and then she decides to kill alistair . comes up with this harebrained plan to put poison in the guacamole . i mean , even i would n't come up with something that stupid , and if i did , i would make sure alistair was the one who was poisoned and not ethan . gwen : she 's just so stupid . she 's so stupid . i wish she were dead . i wish she were lying here . what was that ?

'cause that would be a terrible idea . stefan : it was you . leo : what kinda brother are you ? brady : is that a real question ? leo : you played me . brady : again , you 're gon na have to be more specific . leo : you fed me false information to pass on to stefan dimera . brady : [ laughs ] let me get this right , are -- are you angry at me for stopping you from spying on me ? leo : you set me up . brady : again , you were spying on me . leo : what choice did i have ? you were n't willing to hire me . stefan offered me a job . brady : a job . a job scamming your own brother ? you are a con artist . the minute you stepped foot into this town , you 've been focused on nothing but stealing from sonny and my family and my company . i do n't give a damn who you are . i would n't trust you to watch my parking meter . leo : go to hell . brady : think you 're the one that 's headed there , leo , in a handbasket . you see , you 've finally shown your true colors to everybody , and now you 've finally gotten what you deserve . nothing .

[ music intensifies ] lani : everybody that we have talked to has said the same thing about haley : she 's a great person , a caring nurse . she just wanted to create a life for herself . eli : law says she 's illegal . lani : i hate the idea that a person can be called illegal . eli : you know , i had a -- i had a buddy from baltimore . his cousin came from south america as a teenager . he went to school , had a decent job , family with kids . one day , he opens the door , and i.c.e . is standing there to take him away . lani : what happened to him ? eli : he tried to fight it , but he lost the court case . they deported him . took him away from his family . i mean , the -- the guy was an asset to his community . never broke the law , except for being here in the first place . lani : and now haley is facing the same fate . jj really cares about her , and after everything that he 's been through , i just -- i would hate to see him miss out on a chance at happiness . [ soft solemn music ] haley : i have decided to marry tripp , because it 's cleaner and it 's safer and -- i already explained it to you before , jj . jj : you still have n't gotten over that i told my father about you . haley : that 's part of it , and also because if i choose you , your dad would never stop going after us , and things are already bad between you two . jj : look , i can deal with my father . what i care about is helping you . haley : jj , you know , i -- i really appreciate that , but you got ta understand that by marrying tripp , i 'll not only be protecting myself , but i 'll be protecting you too . jj : look , but i -- i do n't need you to protect me . and i do n't care what my dad does . haley , he 's not the man that i knew and loved . if he were , he never would 've sold you out for his campaign . haley : yeah , but before that , you guys were getting closer . jj : it was all a lie . it was a lie . he cares about himself and his campaign , which is why i 'm going to make sure he never becomes mayor . haley : no , jj , no , no , you do n't wan na do that . jj : what , do you want him to be mayor of this town ? haley : no , no , of course i do n't , but i do n't wan na be the reason that you and your dad are on bad terms . jj : he is the reason ... not you . come on , haley . i wan na help you . haley : no , no , i -- i 'm sorry , okay , but it 's just too complicated for the both of us . jj : is that it or -- [ stammers ] -- is there more to it ? haley : no . no . jj : let 's be honest ... the real reason you do n't wan na marry me is n't because of my dad . the reason you do n't wan na marry me is ... haley : jj ... jj : well , i think you 've kinda said it , but maybe -- maybe not as bluntly as i 'm about to . look , you do n't wan na marry me , because you still hate me . claire : [ laughs ] i 'm sorry , i think i misheard you . did you just say you 're marrying haley ? tripp : i know it sounds strange . claire : no , no , no , no , no , strange is when you misplace your phone and you find it in the fridge . no , tripp , this is insanity . [ laughs ] what the hell is going on ? tripp : it 's a long story . claire : oh , well , i -- i 've -- i 've got time , nothing but ears and time . so , uh -- okay , so , so far , you are committed to me , but you are marrying haley ? tripp : okay , look , you know how much trouble haley 's in with immigration , all right ? she 's gon na be deported if she does n't do something , so jj offered to marry her so she 'd stay in the country . claire : oh , that sounds like a fantastic idea . why did you say you 're marrying her ? tripp : because with jj , things get tricky . i mean , his dad is running for mayor , and jack is the one who outed haley in the first place . so , if she marries jj , they 're just gon na be under a lot of scrutiny . tripp : oh , come on , tripp , you 're jack 's nephew . you think you 'll fly under the radar ? tripp : well , it 's different . i do n't have a relationship with jack . plus , haley does n't want to make things worse between jj and his father . so , i suggested that she marry me instead , and she agreed . claire : uh , wa -- wait a minute , this was your idea ?

[ scene_break ] greenlee : do you know why i was called down here ? frankie : i believe it 's because the readings on david 's monitor are yielding some unusual readings . greenlee : unusual how ? frankie : come inside . i 'll show you . greenlee : he does n't seem to be different . frankie : looks can be deceiving . since you came into the room , his heart rate is elevated . greenlee : is he still in a coma ? frankie : he is , and there 's no telling when he 'll come out of it , but something is definitely going on in there with him . [ scene_break ] ryan : you 're probably pushing away the one person that you need more than anybody else right now . kendall : there 's nothing greenlee can do to help me . ryan : she 's torturing herself over what happened . you know that . kendall : funny . `` tortured `` was the last thing i saw when i walked in here -- the two of you smiling and holding hands and happy . ryan : we are . we 're happy to be together , kendall , but we 're just -- it kills us that you 're suffering right now . kendall : then do n't make it any worse . and do n't look at me like that . i know that it 's wrong and irrational and maybe even selfish to exclude her . but every time i see greenlee with you , it reminds me of how i will never hold my husband 's hand again or wake up in his arms or curl up next to him or spend another vacation with him or christmas or new year 's . ryan : and you know that -- greenlee was n't alone when zach 's plane went down . i was there , too . so do you feel that way about me ? kendall : you and i share a son . if we did n't , i would n't want to spend a second more with you either . [ scene_break ] greenlee : you have no idea what caused his heart rate to elevate ? frankie : no . it could be an involuntary response . greenlee : or he might be waking up . he might be aware that i 'm in here . frankie : that 's very possible . greenlee : ok . so now that i 'm here , what am i supposed to do ? frankie : hospital 's obligated to alert next of kin when there 's been any change that may result in that happening . [ phone rings ] frankie : i got to go check on another patient . greenlee : are you there ? can you hear me ? i just came from seeing kendall . she can barely look at me . i am trying with everything in me to put you and the lie that was our marriage behind me , but know that i never really can because of zach . because of what happened to him , i will never , never be free of you . is that what you wanted ? is that what you 're trying to tell me by making your heart go faster ? are you trying to tell me that i 'll never be able to walk away from you , that you 'll never let me go ?

[ scene_break ] jake : i 'm sorry . did you need something ? cara : an answer . i figured you probably were n't gon na track me down , so i thought i 'd come find you . jake : you never were one to shy away from a challenge . cara : i 'm not the only one , which is why i hope you 'll come back to doctors without borders . or else you could just walk away and never speak to me again . jake : walking away is n't really my style , because i know what it does to someone . cara : i never meant to hurt you , ok , but that 's not why i 'm here . we need you in the field . it could be a temporary position relieving the doctors who have been there for a really long time . they 're burned out , jake . you could give them a much - needed break . jake : cara , can you just stop with the pitch . cara : it 's obvious that you 're happy here , you found a new purpose . i bet what you and i had together , it 's not even on your radar anymore . jake : that 's just not true . [ scene_break ] tad : you and jake and cara have all expressed the same kind of dedication . and , obviously , spending time in a little burg as dull as this one must be kind of hard for people that excel in critical situations , and yet you and cara show up right around the same time . you got to wonder , right ? griffin : if you think i 've got some secret agenda , you 're wasting your time . tad : so you really are on just a goodwill mission for the miranda center ? griffin : yeah . i 'm all about good will . tad : and the fact that the guy that whisked my brother 's ex - wife away from him shows up in the same town at the same time in the same hotel with adjacent rooms -- with her -- is just pure coincidence ? griffin : what difference does it make ? cara and i will be long gone soon enough . tad : so you are leaving again ? griffin : we 'll see . tad : ok . cool . you going back to mexico ? griffin : if they need me there . tad : i did some work there not too long ago . really beautiful country . griffin : yeah , i doubt you were anywhere near juarez . tad : ha ha ha ! juarez ? you 're from juarez ? griffin : yeah . a few miles away . it 's not so beautiful . drug dealers run the streets , and you 'd come back with a lot more than a bandaged hand , if you came back at all . tad : yeah , that 's probably true . sounds like hell . i 'm sorry . i can understand why you 'd want to get back to help them . if i could make some kind of contribution -- griffin : oh , brother . if you 're trying to bribe me to get cara to get out of here , you do n't have to worry about her . cara ca n't stay in one place for too long . if i know her like i do , she 'll be on the next plane out of here . [ scene_break ] jake : i have been thinking about our time in the field a lot lately . cara : you have ? jake : yeah . for some reason all these memories have been coming up , and i do n't know exactly why that is . cara : i 'm sorry . i 'm not really into the whole stirring business -- except when it comes to putting sugars in your coffee . you still like it with five packets ? jake : i -- truth is i 've been trying to -- cara : cut down ? because you said that every cup you drank our whole marriage . jake : `` our whole marriage . `` wow . cara : i did n't -- i 'm -- jake : no , you 're not doing anything . you 're just trying to recruit me , so go ahead . cara : there is n't a doctor out in the field who can do what you did , and i 'm not talking about just your skill -- the way that you are with people , your passion . jake : i loved every single minute of what we experienced in the field . i think my favorite part was seeing people 's faces that had never even seen a doctor before and taking away their pain or bringing a life into the world -- would n't be here today if it was n't for us . i honestly think that it was probably my most joyful , satisfying experience i 've ever had in my life and in my career . cara : you could go back . jake : and when i came here after that , i felt lost . i felt like my life was meaningless without all those people who needed me and without you who needed me . but then i found my passion . cara : i can see that . this is a good place with good people . jake : i 'm not talking about my career . i 'm talking about i found my passion in amanda . she needed me . i needed her . i helped her out of a very messy situation . it 's a long story . we fought like crazy to be together , and we have a beautiful little child that 's living proof that it was all worth it . and i know that my mission is -- probably pales in comparison to what you 're doing , but to me , it 's just as important . cara : i 'm happy for you . that 's all i 've ever wanted . jake : right . you 're happy for me . cara : it 's the truth . [ scene_break ] madison : i 'm just trying to protect myself . and i do not want to use this pregnancy to get between ryan and greenlee . that is not the place i want to go . randi : that 's a smart choice . frankie : yeah , it is . and i 'm not trying to make this any harder . madison : you 're just being protective . i get that . you know i 've spent most of my life answering to men and what they want -- my father , henry . ryan 's not like them , but this time i am not gon na let that happen . [ scene_break ] ryan : look , i 'm sure the last thing that you want to do this holiday season is celebrate , but i 'm sure you also want to make sure the boys have a really nice christmas . kendall : yes , i do . ryan : so then let us help you put something together . kendall : `` us ? `` ryan : yeah . we 'll get a tree . we 'll put up some stockings . something . kendall : i can do that . why do n't you check your calendar , and i 'll see what day you can come over and join us . just do n't bring greenlee . [ scene_break ] greenlee : do you know why i was called down here ? frankie : i believe it 's because the readings on david 's monitor are yielding some unusual readings . greenlee : unusual how ? frankie : come inside . i 'll show you . greenlee : he does n't seem to be different . frankie : looks can be deceiving . since you came into the room , his heart rate is elevated . greenlee : is he still in a coma ? frankie : he is , and there 's no telling when he 'll come out of it , but something is definitely going on in there with him . [ scene_break ] ryan : you 're probably pushing away the one person that you need more than anybody else right now . kendall : there 's nothing greenlee can do to help me . ryan : she 's torturing herself over what happened . you know that . kendall : funny . `` tortured `` was the last thing i saw when i walked in here -- the two of you smiling and holding hands and happy . ryan : we are . we 're happy to be together , kendall , but we 're just -- it kills us that you 're suffering right now . kendall : then do n't make it any worse . and do n't look at me like that . i know that it 's wrong and irrational and maybe even selfish to exclude her . but every time i see greenlee with you , it reminds me of how i will never hold my husband 's hand again or wake up in his arms or curl up next to him or spend another vacation with him or christmas or new year 's . ryan : and you know that -- greenlee was n't alone when zach 's plane went down . i was there , too . so do you feel that way about me ? kendall : you and i share a son . if we did n't , i would n't want to spend a second more with you either . [ scene_break ] greenlee : you have no idea what caused his heart rate to elevate ? frankie : no . it could be an involuntary response . greenlee : or he might be waking up . he might be aware that i 'm in here . frankie : that 's very possible . greenlee : ok . so now that i 'm here , what am i supposed to do ? frankie : hospital 's obligated to alert next of kin when there 's been any change that may result in that happening . [ phone rings ] frankie : i got to go check on another patient . greenlee : are you there ? can you hear me ? i just came from seeing kendall . she can barely look at me . i am trying with everything in me to put you and the lie that was our marriage behind me , but know that i never really can because of zach . because of what happened to him , i will never , never be free of you . is that what you wanted ? is that what you 're trying to tell me by making your heart go faster ? are you trying to tell me that i 'll never be able to walk away from you , that you 'll never let me go ?

[ scene_break ] greenlee : i 'm telling you i saw his finger move . does it show that he 's waking up ? frankie : it might 've seemed like a big step , but medically there 's been no change . greenlee : i 'm telling you it was a reaction to what i was saying . his finger moved as if he heard me . frankie : then i 'd watch what i say around him . you do n't want to give him any extra ammo if he wakes up . greenlee : be a better person , david . if you wake up from this , be a better person .

[ laughter ] bob : you bet you can . luke : well , it looks like things are turning out better . reid : yeah , well , it ai n't over till that fat nurse over in pediatrics sings . luke : he does n't look too happy . reid : he 's probably just coordinating the transplant team . john : yes , no . i can hear you now , yes , when i 'm out of the room . so what did you say to me before ? no , slower , slower . we 've got a bad connection or something . go ahead . i just received a call from the cardio team in bay city general . you 're a perfect match , by the way , but some young surgeon over there who they made head of cardiology has taken the heart for one of his own patients . kim : oh -- they ca n't do that ! they ca n't take the heart away that they promised us . bob : unfortunately , they can . kim : that 's not fair . john : no , it 's not . but the doctor over in bay city -- well , he probably wanted to keep the heart from a patient of his that they have over there who 's higher on the list than chris is , so he made some kind of case , and he won . that 's all . i 'm very sorry . chris : we 'll just go back to the original plan . john can put me on the ivad . i 'll remain on the list . and i 'll wait for another heart . katie : yeah , you make it sound like it 's a given . chris : so who needs a little faith now ? john : i think we should alert the o.r . , prep for the ivad , and we send the transplant team home . bob : all right . john : all right ? casey : i mean , how could this happen ? luke : they 're gon na find another heart for chris , right ? reid : yeah maybe . it might be too late . katie : well , i 'm going to , uh , call the babysitter and check on jacob . just hang out with your mom for a little while till i get back . chris : katie -- katie : hmm ? chris : it 's okay . katie : i know . barbara : i 'm gon na go talk to her , okay ? henry : yeah . katie : oh , i could n't let chris see me fall apart . barbara : i figured that . katie : please do n't tell me everything 's gon na work out . barbara : i 'm not going to do that , because we both know that usually does n't happen . but every once in a while , it does . and i think chris has as good a chance as anyone . katie : oh , who cares ? everybody has a chance . barbara : what i 'm trying to say is i think chris has a good chance because of all the people who are out here , loving him and caring him and supporting him . that 's why . katie : oh , that 's a very nice thing to say . barbara : i 'm not being nice , katie . i 'm not always a particularly nice person . i just know what i 'm talking about . you know , i felt completely alone and abandoned and hopeless and helpless , too . and i 'm not talking about my cancer . i 'm talking about when i was locked up in that warehouse . i thought i was gon na die there . i did n't think i was gon na get out alive . but what i did n't know was that there was something keeping me going . there were people out here who were loving me and caring about me and worried about what happened to me . that 's what kept me going . and then i was found , and i came home , and i was saved . but i could n't have done that without all those people . katie : i do n't think you realize how relentless henry was when he was searching for you . he would not give up . barbara : i know that now . and now it 's your turn to be relentless about chris . you ca n't give up . do n't give up on him , for both your sakes , okay ? john : well , as soon as we get your pre - op labs back , we 'll be here . we 'll take you down to the o.r . for the procedure . chris : thank you . john : all right . chris : can i just talk to dad for a minute ? john : sure , sure , sure . kim : be outside , sweetheart . bob : what can i do for you , son ? chris : uh , you 've already done everything , dad , since the day i was born . that 's why i 'm a doctor -- to be like you . bob : you did fine on your own . you 're the best pediatrician i know . i 'm proud of you . i do n't say that very often . chris : dad -- reid : what was it ? bob : my son is asking to see you . reid : you wanted to see me ? chris : i just wanted to , um , congratulate the new chief of staff in person . reid : oh , shut up . you know i do n't want the job that way . chris : no . reid : but seeing as you 're on death 's door , i might as well admit that i did steal that grant from you back in med school . chris : i knew it . reid : yeah , well -- well , this time , i 'm not gon na have to cheat to kick your ass , 'cause you 're gon na get that heart , you 're gon na jog out of here , and then i will dismantle you fair and square . chris : come here . reid : yeah , you gon na hit me ? chris : no . reid : i like my chances . chris : take care of katie . katie : beat it , roomie . i want some quality time with the patient . reid : he 's all yours . luke : what are you doing ? reid : i 'm gon na go to bay city , pick up that heart . then i 'm gon na bring it back here and make sure it 's put in chris hughes ' chest , where it belongs . katie : you do n't have to be brave for me . it 's okay if you scream and curse and ask god why he dealt you such a rotten hand . chris : why would i ?

[ exhales sharply ] gabi . gabi . gabi , wake up . gabi : [ groans ] stefan : gabi , it 's stefan . oh , thank god . gabi : what happened ? stefan : you do n't remember how you got down here ? gabi : where ? stefan : we 're in the wine cellar . we 're locked in . gabi : kristen . stefan : yeah . gabi : wait a second . wait , i think i saw kristen , but that 's not possible . was i dreaming ? stefan : no , you were n't dreaming . my sister is very much alive . she 's the one who put us down here . brady : well , will , there 's lots of explanations why xander would still be getting paid by kristen 's shell corp . will : true . it 's possible he got a hold of the bank account and he 's making payments to himself . brady : or stefan took control of his sister 's accounts and xander 's getting paid secretly that way . will : both of those are reasonable . but i think we have to consider the third possibility . brady : that kristen is still alive . haley : thank you , my love , but i promise you i 'm fine , okay ? i 'm fine . jj : and you would tell me if you were n't ? haley : yes . they got me off that sedative in the hospital , and pretty soon , i 'll be tapering off that very mild prescription they gave me for anxiety . all right ? jj : you 'll check in with your doctors , let 'em know what 's going on . every day ? haley : twice on sundays . jj : i just ca n't believe tripp ... was sneaking around getting you drugs without telling me . haley : he was just trying to help me , jj . jj : and lying about it . haley : [ sighs ] it was n't even his place to tell you . it was mine . so can you just please just let it go ? jj : why did n't you ? why did you feel like you could confide in him , and not me ? haley : [ exhales ] kayla : you know , haley 's getting out of the hospital today , do n't you ? and that means it 's gon na be you and jj and her all living in the loft together . tripp : yeah , yeah , i 've thought about that a lot . kayla : what 're you gon na do about it ? will : [ exhales ] i know it sounds crazy , the idea that kristen could still be alive . brady : well , will , it 's hard to stand here in front of you and make a case that coming back from the dead is n't possible . will : that 's a good point . so ... do you believe it could be true ? brady : remember when maggie said that she saw kristen in nicole 's room ? will : and no one believed her because she 'd been drinking . brady : i did n't believe her either . i dismissed it and moved on , but ... what if she really did see kristen ? [ cell phone ringing ] will : i got ta take this . sonny and i , we have plans tonight . brady : actually , actually , actually , before you answer that , you 're gon na have to cancel those plans . will : why ? brady : because ... there 's an anniversary party . surprise anniversary party for dad and marlena , and you and sonny are invited and i really want you to come . can you make it . will : yeah , of course we can . i 'll just reschedule dinner . cool . so john and marlena do n't know anything about this ? brady : actually , they do . will : then how is it a surprise party ? brady : because they both think that they 're surprising one another . will : oh . that 's complicated . [ laughs ] brady : actually , it 's not because both of their guest lists are almost identical . will : okay . why would n't they be ? brady : [ sighs ] well , they 're actually is one person on the list that marlena invited that my father didn't . susan banks . will : ooh . she 's not coming , is she ? brady : god , i hope not . marlena : when we were at doug 's place , i had to leave abruptly to see a patient . but that was n't where i went . john : i see . so where 'd you go ? marlena : i went to see nicole . chloe had asked me to do that . john : i see . why would she ask you that ? marlena : she 's worried about her friend . she just thinks , as a lot of people do , that nicole has been acting very strange lately . john : yeah , yeah . so how did it go with your conversation with nicole ? marlena : not very well . i asked her a few questions and then she got upset and threatened to call the police . john : the police ? what for ? marlena : i do n't know . i do n't know . you know that eric is still very attached to her . john : yeah . marlena : i do n't know if you 're aware that nicole 's been seeing quite a bit of brady lately , and i do n't think that 's good for either one of them . john : no . um ... let me ask you this , doc . what do you think is going on with nicole ? marlena : well , clearly , she 's still mourning the loss of her child . but , john , even in that context , her behavior has ... it 's been unusual . i think she 's unstable . and i have no idea what she might be capable of doing . john : well , i wan na thank you for telling me all of that because ... the truth is , i have been keeping something from you also . [ dramatic music ] nicole : i do n't know where gabi is , okay ? sonny : well , did you see her when you first got here ? nicole : yeah , like , for a few minutes . then she was called off to some emergency business meeting . sonny : and she left you alone in the house ? nicole : mm - hmm . she just ran out of here and did n't look back . kind of rude , if you ask me . [ cell phone rings ] oh . sonny : this is gabi 's . nicole : is it ? [ cell phone beeps ] hmm . well , i guess she was in a hurry . sonny : she never leaves her phone . she always needs it in her hand so we can be in touch about ari . nicole : well , i do n't know what to say . you know , maybe her priorities changed since she 's schemed her way into being ceo . sonny : maybe . nicole : mm . so are you gon na get the bathing suit or what ? sonny : yeah , i 'm just gon na run upstairs and look for it . nicole : great . stefan : [ exhales , sniffs ] i 'm starting to shake off some of the cobwebs myself , but ... gabi : [ groans ] stefan : i 'm pretty sure i know how i got down here . gabi : you saw kristen ? stefan : i saw her . yeah , clearly , she 's back to get rid of both of us and take over dimera . gabi : she said that ? stefan : gabi , i walked in , she was standing over your unconscious body . gabi : what ? stefan : yeah . she was holding this weapon over your head like she was gon na ... finish you off . gabi : oh , my god . stefan : yeah . [ exhales ] so ... we struggled for this weapon that she was holding . i finally grabbed it away from her , she went flying , and i thought she had knocked herself out cold , so i went to check on you . that 's when she must have hit me over the head . gabi : and then you ended up in here . stefan : yeah . i must have been knocked out cold when she brought you in . gabi : okay , okay , okay . i am -- yeah , i 'm starting to remember , i think . stefan : did she tell you anything , like , before she attacked you . how is she alive ? what does she want ? gabi : oh , you do n't know all of it ? stefan : all of what ? gabi : okay , well , i was in the living room and that 's when nicole came in , and she was completely out of control . she was raging , looking for shin . stefan : wait , wait , nicole ? what does nicole have to do with kristen ? gabi : well , we got into an argument . i was telling her that she framed you for the kidnapping of ted and kate . that she framed you for killing ted . stefan : okay , i 'm not -- i 'm not following . you got into a fight with nicole , but kristen hit you over the head . what are you talking about ? gabi : stefan , kristen is nicole . -their béarnaise sauce here is the best in town . marlena : honey , you can tell me anything . you know that . john : yeah , i know . your confession was about doug 's place . so is mine . marlena : all right . john : on the night that we were there together and you were talking to chloe ... brady told me he 's back with nicole . marlena : that they 're together as a couple ? john : yeah . marlena : well , i happen to know that nicole 's marriage to tony is in name only . john : yeah , it 's just a business arrangement , but , doc , there 's more to it . that case that i 'm working on ... marlena : with hope ? john : yeah . we 're investigating the kidnappings of ... ted and kate , ted 's subsequent murder , and ... so far everything we learned , all the roads are leading right back to nicole . and that means that brady 's caught up in this too . brady : marlena wanted to invite susan to the party , so i did , but she has n't rsvp 'd yet though . will : well , she might come . you know how much she loves marlena . brady : yeah . if she comes , would you do me a favor ? would you run interference for me ? will : why ? you think she 's gon na put the moves on you again ? brady : yeah , maybe . i do n't know . i mean , the fact that i reached out to her , she might get the wrong idea . will : well , the wrong idea is sort of susan 's thing . brady : [ sighs ] yeah , i do n't wan na be cruel . but , then again , i do n't wan na , as she would say ... [ mimicking susan ] be mean , mean , mean , brady . i do n't really -- i just -- she scares me , will . will : oh , come on . you guys shared a really special moment , you know , the last time that she was in town . brady : mm - hmm , you having a lot of fun with this right now ? will : no , i -- brady : enjoying yourself ? will : i 'm just making sure that you 're -- that you 're , you know , not interested . stefan : kristen is nicole ? that makes no sense . gabi : well , maybe not , but it 's true . stefan : gabi , i have no idea what you 're trying to say . gabi : [ sighs ] okay . all right , look . from the time that nicole came back from the dead ... stefan : yeah . gabi : what has everyone been saying ? she 's not herself . she 's not herself . stefan : she lost her daughter in a tragic accident . gabi : well , that was n't the reason because that 's not her daughter . okay ? i 'm telling you . that person is n't nicole . it was kristen wearing a mask . stefan : what ? gabi : all right , you remember how i told you that we had this fight , right ? okay , well , it got physical and then i pulled her hair and that 's ... that 's when her face kind of fell off . stefan : you pulled her face off ? gabi : well , yeah , the mask , okay ? and then , there she was , kristen dimera in the flesh . stefan : that 's crazy . gabi : is it ? stefan : yeah . gabi : well , the more i think about it , the more it makes sense . how nicole was trying really hard to get dimera back . how she rejected eric . everybody knows that that was the love of her life , but she wanted brady . stefan : kristen has always been obsessed with him . gabi : i mean , i 'm not a big fan of nicole , but she 's not crazy . not like this . i mean , there is only one person that would go to extreme lengths , including marry her brother , to get what she wants , and that 's kristen dimera . nicole : oh , father , what would you do , hmm ? i mean , i ca n't kill stefan . he 's your son . and i ca n't kill gabi because she knows everybody in town . her brother 's a police officer , her daughter has two fathers , and none of them will give me a moment 's peace . [ sighs ] now i know what xander was talking about when he locked up ted and kate in that room . [ chuckles ] i mean , once you have them , what the hell are you supposed to do with them ? i 'm just a normal person tripp : you know , it 's been really hard for haley to stay in claire 's old room , especially with everything that 's already happened . kayla : i can see that could be triggering . tripp : yes , so i 'm going to offer to switch rooms with her and jj . kayla : well , that 's a nice gesture , but you 're gon na still be living there with the two of them . tripp : yeah , but with work and studying , i 'm barely ever there anyway . kayla : haley does n't know how you feel , does she ? tripp : no . no , and i do n't want her to know . kayla : well , that puts you in a terrible position , does n't it ? tripp : i just want her to be happy . kayla : well , what about you ? tripp : i 'll get by . kayla : yeah , you know , tripp , i know that you still feel a lot of guilt about what you did to me and later to claire , and that you feel like you 've made these mistakes that you have to make up for , but , listen , you deserve to be happy too . tripp : thank you . kayla : i know , tripp , you and i have had a complicated history ... but you are family now , and that is never gon na change . ever . do you hear me ? i love you and i am here for you . whatever you need . whatever you decide . tripp : i love you too . thank you . that really means a lot . all right . i 'll keep you posted , okay ? haley : when i started having those hallucinations of claire , you were going through all that trouble with your dad . jj : i still could have helped you . haley : [ sighs ] [ soft music ] i guess i just ... i did n't want you to still see me as this weak person . you know , always ... always having to be rescued . jj : you 're not weak . haley ... you 're one of the strongest people i know . you made a life for yourself all on your own . you worked your way through nursing school . you took on ice . haley : [ chuckles ] and still i always find myself needing help . jj : we all do . it 's what we do for the people we love . from now on , i would like to be there for you no matter what you are going through . haley : and i wan na do the same for you . jj : good . so can we have no more secrets ? please ? haley : no more secrets . [ chuckles ] jj : i love you . haley : and i love you . brady : think i 'm interested in susan banks ? you 've lost your marbles , will , all right ? you 're losing it . will : i 'm just messing with you . plus , if i know susan , i know that she loves roger . she does . why else would she put up with that awful elvis routine ? brady : i do n't know , but i ... i do n't know what goes through that woman 's skull , actually . will : yeah , she 's a few strings short of a guitar , but she -- [ both chuckle ] she 's a very loyal person . she has her own moral code , and , no offense , but you 're really not her type . brady : could have fooled me . susan : this . brady : no . you know , there ... there was something strange about that whole thing . sonny : hey . both : hey . sonny : sorry , that look a little longer than i thought . will : is something wrong ? sonny : well , i ran into nicole at the mansion , and she was acting , you know , just , like , pretty weird . brady : hold on , hold on . nicole was at the dimera mansion . sonny : yeah , yeah , she said she was working . brady : working with whom ? sonny : she claimed that she had a meeting with gabi , um , but gabi was n't there . gabi : oh , come on . you believe me . stefan : check this out . so ben and ciara hid under nicole 's bed in her room , and they heard her talking to kate . gabi : what did they hear ? stefan : that nicole was actually involved in kidnapping ted and kate , and kate seemed to think there was a second person involved . someone they were both very afraid of . gabi : kristen ? stefan : and kate did n't realize she was talking to her the entire time . gabi : yeah , she fooled everyone . stefan : how did i not see it ? gabi : well , how could you imagine something so twisted ? stefan : me and my family . gabi : she knew that she could n't come back as herself because of the crimes that she committed ... stefan : [ scoffs ] gabi : so she figured out a way to get what she wanted without being arrested . stefan : so she came back as nicole . gabi : yeah , the perfect person to make a play at dimera . oh , and of course , for brady . [ cell phone beeps ] [ line trills ] [ cell phone rings ] [ cell phone beeps ] nicole : brady ? brady : hey , i left you a message before . nicole : yeah , i 'm sorry i did n't get to the phone . i , uh ... i was caught up in other things .

[ both laugh ] what ? what do you think ? marlena : i 'm thinking that it 's just amazing how we 're always in sync . john : yeah , why 's that ? marlena : well , i was thinking of doug 's place tonight too . john : well , then this is gon na work out perfectly . marlena : it will be perfect . [ both laugh ] oh , perfect . table for two . [ laughs softly ] sonny : so they each think they 're surprising the other one ? how did that happen ? will : i do n't know . it 's the most john and marlena party ever . sonny : well , i ca n't wait . will : so , okay , earlier you said nicole was acting strange . right ? sonny : mm - hmm . will : in what way ? sonny : she was just , like , jumpy , you know ? she was out of breath and she was irritable with me when i kept asking her questions about gabi . will : hmm . well , nicole and gabi definitely do n't like each other . sonny : it was kind of more than that . and one more weird thing . you know , how gabi always has her phone ? will : yeah , sometimes i think it 's permanently attached to her hand . sonny : exactly . well , i found her phone in the living room at the dimera mansion . and nicole told me that gabi left it behind because she had this , like , emergency business meeting . will : okay , gabi must have realized it was gone as soon as she got to the meeting . sonny : that 's just it . i texted her again when i was parked in the driveway . she 's still not responding . stefan : why are you looking at me like that , gabi ? gabi : because i wan na know why you stopped kristen from killing me after everything that i have done to you . tricking you into marriage , stealing your company , evicting you from your house ... why did n't you just let your sister snuff me out ? nicole : is something wrong , brady ? brady : [ clears throat ] no . no , not exact -- nicole : okay , then what is it ? brady : i saw will and sonny . nicole : yes , you told me . brady : and the conversation i had with them , it led me to wonder about something . nicole : wonder about what ? brady : kristen . nicole : you 're bringing up kristen again ? brady : i 've been thinking a lot about her lately , nicole . nicole : and what are you wondering about ? brady : if kristen is still alive . | will told brady how xander got money from kristen . sonny knocked on the door so kristen put gabi and stefan in the tunnels . brady told will that xander worked with kristen in nashville . will asked him why xander would still get money from her if she was dead . stefan woke up and realized he was in the tunnels with gabi . sonny was determined to get inside of the dimera mansion . he walked in , but did n't see kristen put her mask and wig back on . tripp talked to kayla about his feelings for haley . she felt sorry for him that she did n't return his feelings for him . he did n't want haley to know that he had feelings for her . sonny wanted to know why nicole was at the mansion . kristen did n't want to answer all of his questions . he wanted to know where gabi was and she got nervous . stefan checked gabi 's pulse and noticed that she was still breathing . he went to the door and realized it was locked . gabi woke up so he asked if she remembered how she got in tunnel . she thought she saw kristen , and stefan confirmed that she was alive . brady tried to come up with an explanation for xander having money from her . will told him that they had to consider the possibility that kristen was still alive . jj could n't believe that tripp got drugs for haley without telling him . jj wondered why haley was able to tell tripp about her anxiety and not him . kayla wondered how tripp would handle living with jj and haley . will wondered if brady believed that it could be true . brady wondered if maggie really saw kristen . sonny called will so brady told him about the surprise party for john and marlena . brady told him about their party . marlena told john how she went to see nicole . she told him that their conversation did n't go well . she told john how nicole was seeing brady and did n't think it was a good idea . john wondered what she thought about nicole . marlena thought she was unstable and did n't know what she would do . john admitted he was keeping something from her . kristen told sonny that she did n't know where gabi was . gabi 's phone rang , and kristen tried to get it . unfortunately , sonny grabbed it first . kristen was able to get out of why it was on the floor . stefan and gabi talked about kristen being back to get the company . he told her what happened when kristen attacked her . gabi told stefan that kristen is nicole . | <s>[INST] marlena : chloe , hi . it 's marlena . i just wanted to make sure that everything is set for the party tonight , and john actually thinks that we 're having dinner for two , so he will be so incredibly surprised . such a big night . and thank you for all your help . you 've been just spectacular . you know , it 's been a lot of work and it has n't been easy keeping this secret from john . [ cell phone beeps ] john : [ clears throat ] [ soft music ] marlena : hi . how long have you been standing there ? john : why ? you got something to hide ? tripp : hey . kayla : hi . hi . tripp : hi . kayla : i 'm sorry i ca n't stay very long . i 've got ta get back to the hospital . tripp : no , no , that 's okay . i just wanted to apologize again for getting the prescription in my name when the sedatives were really for haley . just do n't let haley get in trouble for this , okay ? kayla : i 'll do my best to try to keep her out of it . tripp : thank you . kayla : so how is she been after her fall ? any other incidents ? tripp : does n't seem like it , no . kayla : good . listen , tripp . you know , i ca n't condone what you did , but i do understand that you wanted to take care of somebody that you 've grown to have feelings for . tripp : yeah , well , whatever feelings i have for haley , she does n't have any for me , so ... haley : [ sighs ] jj : welcome home . haley : you have no idea how happy i am to be here . i just could not wait another minute in the hospital . jj : are you sure you 're ready for this ? haley : ready to ... [ chuckles ] sit on the couch and relax ? yeah . yeah , pretty sure i can swing that . jj : i just ca n't believe you were having all these visions , nightmares , and -- i just wish you would have told me . haley : i did n't want to burden you . jj , you 've already done too much for me . jj : there 's no such thing as too much . haley : [ sighs ] brady : why would you want to talk about kristen ? i thought this was about kate and ted 's kidnapping . will : it is . brady : then i do n't understand . will : okay . [ clears throat ] sonny snuck into xander 's room , found a lockbox . in it we found proof that xander has been receiving payments from a shell company . brady : who does the company belong to ? will : i 'm glad you asked . i thought we would look into it and discover it was owned by stefan dimera . turns out it is owned by a dimera . but not stefan . brady : you think it belongs to kristen . will : yes , i do . [ door bell rings , knock on door ] kristen : ugh , just go away . just go the hell away and leave me alone . all right , i better get you downstairs and lock you in the wine cellar with stefan . [ door bell rings ] [ knocking continues ] [ sighs ] [ mischievous music ] sonny : gabi , are you in there ? kristen : oh , my god , sonny . ca n't you take a hint and go home ?

[ cell phone ringing ] will : i got ta take this . sonny and i , we have plans tonight . brady : actually , actually , actually , before you answer that , you 're gon na have to cancel those plans . will : why ? brady : because ... there 's an anniversary party . surprise anniversary party for dad and marlena , and you and sonny are invited and i really want you to come . can you make it . will : yeah , of course we can . i 'll just reschedule dinner . cool . so john and marlena do n't know anything about this ? brady : actually , they do . will : then how is it a surprise party ? brady : because they both think that they 're surprising one another . will : oh . that 's complicated . [ laughs ] brady : actually , it 's not because both of their guest lists are almost identical . will : okay . why would n't they be ? brady : [ sighs ] well , they 're actually is one person on the list that marlena invited that my father didn't . susan banks . will : ooh . she 's not coming , is she ? brady : god , i hope not . marlena : when we were at doug 's place , i had to leave abruptly to see a patient . but that was n't where i went . john : i see . so where 'd you go ? marlena : i went to see nicole . chloe had asked me to do that . john : i see . why would she ask you that ? marlena : she 's worried about her friend . she just thinks , as a lot of people do , that nicole has been acting very strange lately . john : yeah , yeah . so how did it go with your conversation with nicole ? marlena : not very well . i asked her a few questions and then she got upset and threatened to call the police . john : the police ? what for ? marlena : i do n't know . i do n't know . you know that eric is still very attached to her . john : yeah . marlena : i do n't know if you 're aware that nicole 's been seeing quite a bit of brady lately , and i do n't think that 's good for either one of them . john : no . um ... let me ask you this , doc . what do you think is going on with nicole ? marlena : well , clearly , she 's still mourning the loss of her child . but , john , even in that context , her behavior has ... it 's been unusual . i think she 's unstable . and i have no idea what she might be capable of doing . john : well , i wan na thank you for telling me all of that because ... the truth is , i have been keeping something from you also . [ dramatic music ] nicole : i do n't know where gabi is , okay ? sonny : well , did you see her when you first got here ? nicole : yeah , like , for a few minutes . then she was called off to some emergency business meeting . sonny : and she left you alone in the house ? nicole : mm - hmm . she just ran out of here and did n't look back . kind of rude , if you ask me . [ cell phone rings ] oh . sonny : this is gabi 's . nicole : is it ? [ cell phone beeps ] hmm . well , i guess she was in a hurry . sonny : she never leaves her phone . she always needs it in her hand so we can be in touch about ari . nicole : well , i do n't know what to say . you know , maybe her priorities changed since she 's schemed her way into being ceo . sonny : maybe . nicole : mm . so are you gon na get the bathing suit or what ? sonny : yeah , i 'm just gon na run upstairs and look for it . nicole : great . stefan : [ exhales , sniffs ] i 'm starting to shake off some of the cobwebs myself , but ... gabi : [ groans ] stefan : i 'm pretty sure i know how i got down here . gabi : you saw kristen ? stefan : i saw her . yeah , clearly , she 's back to get rid of both of us and take over dimera . gabi : she said that ? stefan : gabi , i walked in , she was standing over your unconscious body . gabi : what ? stefan : yeah . she was holding this weapon over your head like she was gon na ... finish you off . gabi : oh , my god . stefan : yeah . [ exhales ] so ... we struggled for this weapon that she was holding . i finally grabbed it away from her , she went flying , and i thought she had knocked herself out cold , so i went to check on you . that 's when she must have hit me over the head . gabi : and then you ended up in here . stefan : yeah . i must have been knocked out cold when she brought you in . gabi : okay , okay , okay . i am -- yeah , i 'm starting to remember , i think . stefan : did she tell you anything , like , before she attacked you . how is she alive ? what does she want ? gabi : oh , you do n't know all of it ? stefan : all of what ? gabi : okay , well , i was in the living room and that 's when nicole came in , and she was completely out of control . she was raging , looking for shin . stefan : wait , wait , nicole ? what does nicole have to do with kristen ? gabi : well , we got into an argument . i was telling her that she framed you for the kidnapping of ted and kate . that she framed you for killing ted . stefan : okay , i 'm not -- i 'm not following . you got into a fight with nicole , but kristen hit you over the head . what are you talking about ? gabi : stefan , kristen is nicole . -their béarnaise sauce here is the best in town . marlena : honey , you can tell me anything . you know that . john : yeah , i know . your confession was about doug 's place . so is mine . marlena : all right . john : on the night that we were there together and you were talking to chloe ... brady told me he 's back with nicole . marlena : that they 're together as a couple ? john : yeah . marlena : well , i happen to know that nicole 's marriage to tony is in name only . john : yeah , it 's just a business arrangement , but , doc , there 's more to it . that case that i 'm working on ... marlena : with hope ? john : yeah . we 're investigating the kidnappings of ... ted and kate , ted 's subsequent murder , and ... so far everything we learned , all the roads are leading right back to nicole . and that means that brady 's caught up in this too . brady : marlena wanted to invite susan to the party , so i did , but she has n't rsvp 'd yet though . will : well , she might come . you know how much she loves marlena . brady : yeah . if she comes , would you do me a favor ? would you run interference for me ? will : why ? you think she 's gon na put the moves on you again ? brady : yeah , maybe . i do n't know . i mean , the fact that i reached out to her , she might get the wrong idea . will : well , the wrong idea is sort of susan 's thing . brady : [ sighs ] yeah , i do n't wan na be cruel . but , then again , i do n't wan na , as she would say ... [ mimicking susan ] be mean , mean , mean , brady . i do n't really -- i just -- she scares me , will . will : oh , come on . you guys shared a really special moment , you know , the last time that she was in town . brady : mm - hmm , you having a lot of fun with this right now ? will : no , i -- brady : enjoying yourself ? will : i 'm just making sure that you 're -- that you 're , you know , not interested . stefan : kristen is nicole ? that makes no sense . gabi : well , maybe not , but it 's true . stefan : gabi , i have no idea what you 're trying to say . gabi : [ sighs ] okay . all right , look . from the time that nicole came back from the dead ... stefan : yeah . gabi : what has everyone been saying ? she 's not herself . she 's not herself . stefan : she lost her daughter in a tragic accident . gabi : well , that was n't the reason because that 's not her daughter . okay ? i 'm telling you . that person is n't nicole . it was kristen wearing a mask . stefan : what ? gabi : all right , you remember how i told you that we had this fight , right ? okay , well , it got physical and then i pulled her hair and that 's ... that 's when her face kind of fell off . stefan : you pulled her face off ? gabi : well , yeah , the mask , okay ? and then , there she was , kristen dimera in the flesh . stefan : that 's crazy . gabi : is it ? stefan : yeah . gabi : well , the more i think about it , the more it makes sense . how nicole was trying really hard to get dimera back . how she rejected eric . everybody knows that that was the love of her life , but she wanted brady . stefan : kristen has always been obsessed with him . gabi : i mean , i 'm not a big fan of nicole , but she 's not crazy . not like this . i mean , there is only one person that would go to extreme lengths , including marry her brother , to get what she wants , and that 's kristen dimera . nicole : oh , father , what would you do , hmm ? i mean , i ca n't kill stefan . he 's your son . and i ca n't kill gabi because she knows everybody in town . her brother 's a police officer , her daughter has two fathers , and none of them will give me a moment 's peace . [ sighs ] now i know what xander was talking about when he locked up ted and kate in that room . [ chuckles ] i mean , once you have them , what the hell are you supposed to do with them ? i 'm just a normal person tripp : you know , it 's been really hard for haley to stay in claire 's old room , especially with everything that 's already happened . kayla : i can see that could be triggering . tripp : yes , so i 'm going to offer to switch rooms with her and jj . kayla : well , that 's a nice gesture , but you 're gon na still be living there with the two of them . tripp : yeah , but with work and studying , i 'm barely ever there anyway . kayla : haley does n't know how you feel , does she ? tripp : no . no , and i do n't want her to know . kayla : well , that puts you in a terrible position , does n't it ? tripp : i just want her to be happy . kayla : well , what about you ? tripp : i 'll get by . kayla : yeah , you know , tripp , i know that you still feel a lot of guilt about what you did to me and later to claire , and that you feel like you 've made these mistakes that you have to make up for , but , listen , you deserve to be happy too . tripp : thank you . kayla : i know , tripp , you and i have had a complicated history ... but you are family now , and that is never gon na change . ever . do you hear me ? i love you and i am here for you . whatever you need . whatever you decide . tripp : i love you too . thank you . that really means a lot . all right . i 'll keep you posted , okay ? haley : when i started having those hallucinations of claire , you were going through all that trouble with your dad . jj : i still could have helped you . haley : [ sighs ] [ soft music ] i guess i just ... i did n't want you to still see me as this weak person . you know , always ... always having to be rescued . jj : you 're not weak . haley ... you 're one of the strongest people i know . you made a life for yourself all on your own . you worked your way through nursing school . you took on ice . haley : [ chuckles ] and still i always find myself needing help . jj : we all do . it 's what we do for the people we love . from now on , i would like to be there for you no matter what you are going through . haley : and i wan na do the same for you . jj : good . so can we have no more secrets ? please ? haley : no more secrets .

[ cell phone beeps ] [ line trills ] [ cell phone rings ] [ cell phone beeps ] nicole : brady ? brady : hey , i left you a message before . nicole : yeah , i 'm sorry i did n't get to the phone . i , uh ... i was caught up in other things .

[ scene_break ] carly : saying `` yes `` to craig had nothing to do with jack and janet . lily : carly , when you told me about the proposal yesterday , you made a point of telling me how much it would bug jack if you accepted craig 's proposal . carly : well , since then i 've made peace with jack . and we have agreed to stay out of each other 's personal lives . i mean , except where the kids are concerned , of course . lily : well , if it 's not to get back at jack , what other reason could you possibly have to jump into a marriage with craig montgomery ? carly : i enjoy his company . he has a wicked sense of humor , which i like . and besides being fun , he 's -- he 's powerful . you know ? rich ! lily : so far , i 'm not hearing grounds for marriage . carly : it 's nice to have a man around . lily : if the man is craig , i 'd rather be alone . carly : look , i know it was vile of him to take worldwide away from your mother . lily : he was fun , rich and powerful then , too ! but he used me and he used our friendship . carly : but there must be something good about him , or your own sister would n't have stayed married to him as long as she did . lily : well there was , for a while . and then craig reverted back to his old ways . i mean , when sierra figured that out , she came to her senses . and trust me , she could not get away from him fast enough . carly : but i 'd have an advantage over her , you see ? because i 'm not in love with him . lily : and you are really okay with a loveless marriage ? carly : what 's love done , besides leave me heartbroken and in debt ? maybe marrying for practical reasons this time would n't be the worst idea in the world . not that that 's what i 've decided to do . lily : i think you have . [ scene_break ] margo : you know you 're wrong . jack would like nothing more than to have someone take carly off his hands . craig : then i 'm doing him a favor . margo : someone other than you . craig : that 's because he knows i would finally get carly out from under his thumb . margo : no , because he 's concerned about the influence you have on his kids . craig : that 's what he says . i think jack 's involvement in carly 's life has less to do with the kids , than it does with the fact that he 's just not ready to let her go . margo : wrong again . he loves janet . craig : oh , i 'm sure he does . she 'll just never be carly . margo : oh , thank god , for jack 's sake . craig : look , i did n't come here to argue about jack snyder . do i get your blessing or not ? margo : oh , why , craig ? you 're going to do whatever you want , whether i bless you or not . craig : yes , but i would do it with peace in my heart if i knew my sister was pulling for me . besides , i need a best man and i have no friends in this town . margo : well , in that sense , you and carly are perfect together . craig : i knew you would come around . margo : oh , do n't , do n't , do n't . oh ! i will not wear a tux . craig : can i at least expect you at metro later ? margo : oh , my god . are you tying the knot tonight ? craig : no . no , no , no . but we are announcing our engagement . margo : oh . well then , like i said , i 'm busy . craig : and i 'm family . and i expect you to be there .

[ scene_break ] elizabeth : you think your patient was talked out of committing herself ? ewen : something like that . elizabeth : why would someone try to keep her from getting the help she needs ? ewen : it 's complicated . elizabeth : not really . if you break your arm and someone tells you not to go to the hospital , you do n't listen , right ? ewen : you 're preaching to the choir . elizabeth : it 's just ignorance . i mean , people think that if you 're committing yourself to shadybrook that you 're crazy . but i was there , and i 'm not crazy . at least , i do n't think i was . [ chuckles ] ewen : no , you just -- you just needed a little time to find your bearings . elizabeth : and if that 's what your patient needs , then maybe -- ewen : this patient is nothing like you . she 's deeply troubled and a potential danger to herself and others . and i need to find her . [ scene_break ] johnny : you heard the lady . sonny , get lost . we 're busy . connie : stop it , johnny . this is hard enough . sonny , i 'm very sorry . i did not want you to find out this way . sonny : find out what ? what are you talking about ? are you -- are you telling me he did n't -- you 're telling me he did n't force you ? connie : he did n't force me . sonny : i saw the struggle downstairs . i saw all the clothes ! johnny : though to be fair , kate , it 's under -- easy to under -- sonny : shut up ! so , you -- are you saying to me that you threw me a birthday party , right , and you ran out to come here ? connie : yeah . yes . sonny : why did you pick tonight ? why did you pick tonight ? connie : this was n't the first time . sonny : what do you mean ? w - w - what -- what does that mean ? connie : [ voice breaking ] i 'm sorry . i 'm sorry . sonny : how long ? johnny : couple of months . sonny : months ? connie : [ sobs ] i 'm sorry . i ca n't stop . sonny , i ca n't . i -- i do n't think i even want to stop . that 's why i 've been seeing dr. keenan , because he -- sonny : dr. keenan knew about this ? connie : yeah . do n't -- do n't take anything out on him . he 's been pushing me to tell you . sonny : you felt bad enough to talk to a shrink but not bad enough to stop ! connie : sonny , it 's hard enough to tell you i 'm having an affair . but to -- but to tell you that i 'm -- that i 'm doing it with your worst enemy -- johnny : hell of a birthday , huh , sonny ? [ scene_break ] carly : you know , you keep saying you love jason . sam : i do love him . not that you 'll ever believe me . not actually that i give a damn about what you think . why do n't you go bother somebody else ? carly : because you 're married to my best friend , so for his sake , i 'm gon na tell you this . keeping secrets from the person you love is only gon na cause more problems . sam : you would know . carly : for someone who claims to have been honest , you still seem really , really worried . why is that ? sam : 'cause you 're giving me a headache . carly : right . i think i just caught you in another lie . jason : hey . carly : hey . what did n't you return my messages ? jason : uh , i 'm sorry . i 've been busy . carly : you okay ? jason : yeah . yeah . i 'm fine . carly : you do n't seem fine . jason : your -- your messages . they were -- you said it was about sonny and -- and johnny . carly : we can talk about it another time . jason : are you sure ? because , you know , getting in the middle of those two is not -- not a good idea . carly : you can warn me another time . i think sam needs to talk to you . jason : what was that about ? sam : i do n't know . just carly being carly . thinking she knows you better than i do . jason : she can read me pretty well . sam : well , one thing carly may be right about is that you 're not fine right now , jason . and if there 's something you want to talk about , i mean , i think if you want to talk about the baby , maybe we should go somewhere -- jason : it 's not the baby . john mcbain . [ scene_break ] max : [ chuckles ] so , what ? this supposed to mean something ? mcbain : it 'll mean something to your boss . i guarantee it . [ scene_break ] sam : john mcbain ? what about him ? jason : well , alexis told me that you were talking to him . and i thought she meant the time at queen of angels , and then i asked her about that , and she had no idea what i was talking about . sam : i do n't -- i do n't remember telling her . jason : okay , so , what did alexis mean ? when did you see mcbain again ? [ scene_break ] michael : mom . we , uh , we have a problem . carly : what happened ? michael : i just saw the cake . it 's completely trashed , and there was no sign of kate or dad . carly : well , the wait staff probably dropped it , and kate ran off sulking and sonny went after her . michael : no , i do n't think you understand . the cake has , like , been slashed into pieces , like someone was -- was hacking at it with a knife . carly : kate probably did it . her and sonny must have got in a fight . that seems to be going on a lot tonight . michael : you think dad would walk out on his own party ? carly : your father hates celebrating his birthday . he only did this to make kate happy . as if that 's even possible . michael : i do n't know , mom . it -- [ sighs ] look at this . carly : wow . wow . hey , you know what probably happened ? kate saw a slight imperfection in the buttercream frosting and she freaked out , and she attacked the poor , innocent cake . and right now , she 's running around town chasing the baker with a meat cleaver , and sonny is chasing after her trying to calm her down . see ? nothing to worry about . michael : seriously , though , uh , kate has been a little tense lately . carly : who can tell ? michael : i thought it had to do with the trial , but i do n't know . there 's something else going on . carly : who cares ? let kate be sonny 's problem . i have to deal with her craziness during business hours . michael : you leaving ? carly : yes . i came by to spend some time with you -- and to mend fences with sonny , but no sonny , no cake , i 'm out of here . michael : you gon na go see johnny ? no . never mind . do n't answer that question . it 's none of my business , and quite frankly , i do n't want to know . carly : i love you . michael : love you , too . thanks for coming . carly : hey . i 'd do anything for you . [ scene_break ] johnny : so , how 's it feel , sonny , huh ? i mean , i know i did n't make some big , public display of it like you did at the metro court when you told the whole world that claudia was really my mother , but -- connie : stop it , johnny . this is not about payback . johnny : no , you know what ? you are right . this is about somebody getting what he deserves , right ? now , the guy that causes the death of a kid and his little daughter , he certainly -- sonny : you caused that accident , johnny . do n't put that on me . johnny : sure . and then afterwards , you shut down that whole operation i had going at the hospital , which was pretty lucrative . now , that guy definitely deserves something . so , tell me , sonny , how am i doing ? connie : sonny , you should just -- you should leave , and -- and -- and , you know , we 'll talk about this when we 've had some time to think . johnny : you know , sonny -- sonny and i had a talk recently . do you remember that , sonny ? and you told me -- what was it ? `` johnny , you 're not gon na be able to touch me , `` i think is what you said . and now that i think about it , i do n't think i can really touch you . but you know the best part ? i touched your girlfriend . connie : stop it . johnny : over and over and over again . and you know the best part is , i can keep touching her , and there 's not a damn thing you can do about it . sonny : there 's one thing i can do about it . i can kill you both . connie : no .

[ scene_break ] max : okay , i 'll , uh , deliver your present . time to go . mcbain : oh , no . not just yet . max : what is it now ? mcbain : i have another present . max : come back at christmas . mcbain : hey , you know , i apologize . i , uh -- i did n't get a chance to wrap this one . max : search warrant from a pennsylvania cop . mcbain : no , no , max . if you can comprehend these kind of big words at the bottom , that says `` federal bureau of -- `` max : oh , you know what ? i think i know what the fbi is . i think . mcbain : well , that 's great . now that we got this all cleared up , i 'm gon na have a look around . hmm . oh .

luke : upstairs ! lily : i 'm sorry , he 's obviously very upset about being followed . can you blame him ? damian : it 's more than that . he 's unhappy deep in his heart . and for a young man with his whole future ahead of him , the whole world at his fingertips , it 's very sad . gwen : what do you think , maddie ? dr. will ? casey : hold that thought . i 've got to ask you something first . maddie : yeah ? casey : yeah , c 'm on . gwen : so , how 'd the -- how 'd the calculus final go ? will : it 's over . and that 's what counts . gwen : i ca n't wait to see you in the cap and gown . casey : i 've been real caught up a lot lately , with getting the club up and running and now this party . and i know i have n't been around a lot . but it 's not because i 'm not into you , do n't ever think that . you 're my girl , ya know ?

mike : no . all of his clothes are gone , except for a few things he left on the floor . jack : that means he left in a hurry . and he did n't take his bike . mike : and i found these . katie 's car keys . katie : look , nick , i know you think things ca n't get much worse . but you 're wrong . if you 'll just explain everything to jack -- nick : jack 's been counting the days until he could pin something on me . carly : so this is jack 's fault , huh ? nick : it 's nobody 's fault . it was an accident . carly : that you made ten times worse by not reporting . katie : and you 're doing the same thing now . just let us go , please . you 're just making things worse , this is kidnapping . carly : and what do you get for kidnapping these days , nick ?

afraid ? disappointed ? lily : i 've never be disappointed in luke . he 's a wonderful , wonderful boy . damian : then what 's causing this distance between you ? huh ? and luke . what 's troubling you ? i saw it when i gave you the ring , and i talked about the grandchildren we 'll have someday . what is it , lily ? lily : i ca n't talk about it . damian : we 've always been able to confide in one another . we 've loved each other . we still do , in our own way . please , tell me what 's wrong . you owe it to me . i am his father . no matter what he says . and those bonds never break . lily : when you talk about luke having children -- that 's not going to happen . damian : why ? i thought the surgery was a success . lily : oh , he 's physically -- he 's perfectly fine . but when you talk about luke growing up , and falling in love , and getting married and having children with her -- it 's not going to happen the way that we thought . damian : why ? lily : luke thinks that he 's gay . jack : does katie keep an extra set of keys under her floor mat ? mike : no , i warned her not to . so whoever started the car must have hot - wired it . jack : looks that way . mike : katie would n't know how to do that . would carly ? jack : no . mike : what are we thinking -- nick wired it , and he 's got the girls now ? jack : carly would n't just drop her purse and leave it here . mike : you think she left it on purpose ? jack , nick is my cousin . he loves katie , he would never hurt her . and i know he 's got into it with carly , but i just do n't think he 'd -- jack : let 's not forget that we came here thinking your cousin murdered maya gold ! mike : so , what ? what , you 're thinking nick 's got the girls , and that he 's gon na kill again ? jack : yes , mike . that 's what i 'm thinking . nick : all right . see that stand of trees up there , on the right ? about half a mile up , you 're going to turn off . katie : do n't listen to him , carly . just keep driving . what 's he going to do , shoot us ? nick : if that 's what it takes , katie . carly : let it go , katie . you 're just banging your head against a really big tree . hey , so is this a dirt road that we 're taking , nick ?

will : of course not . gwen : you know what ? we should all go to graduation together . i ca n't believe that , you know , in just a week , this nightmare semester 's gon na be over . we 'll graduate , we 'll get jobs . we 'll find an apartment -- that is assuming that dr . will here passed calculus . but with you coaching him , it should n't be a problem . right ? maddie : right . will : it 'll be fine , gwen . do n't worry . lily : luke is a teenager . he 's a teenager ! when he 's up , he 's up . and when he 's down , he 's miserable . damian : it 's more than that . lily : do n't forget , he was gravely ill . he almost died . damian : and i ca n't imagine how frightening that must have been . but he 's recovered now . i 've watched him shoot baskets with his friends . he 's strong , healthy , a natural athlete . lily : yes . damian : and when he 's with his friends , lily , he 's happy . it 's when he comes home that everything seems to change . and you 're not happy , either . lily : holden and i are very happy . damian : i 'm not talking about your marriage . luke is angry at you . and you 're , what ?

lily : luke thinks that he 's gay . jack : does katie keep an extra set of keys under her floor mat ? mike : no , i warned her not to . so whoever started the car must have hot - wired it . jack : looks that way . mike : katie would n't know how to do that . would carly ?

what , you 're thinking nick 's got the girls , and that he 's gon na kill again ? jack : yes , mike . that 's what i 'm thinking . nick : all right . see that stand of trees up there , on the right ? about half a mile up , you 're going to turn off . katie : do n't listen to him , carly . just keep driving . what 's he going to do , shoot us ? nick : if that 's what it takes , katie . carly : let it go , katie . you 're just banging your head against a really big tree . hey , so is this a dirt road that we 're taking , nick ? we should probably get our seatbelts on . nick : whatever . carly : is there anybody following us ? no ! announcer : on the next `` as the world turns `` -- gwen : there 's something wrong , and i want to know what it is . margo : you should n't go after nick on your own . jack : do n't worry . i 'm not worried about nick .Summarize.[/INST]will and maddie disagree over will 's dishonesty with gwen over how he has now managed to graduate . gwen counsels casey on how he can handle his relationship with maddie better ; she thinks he should be more appreciative of her . this conversation causes casey to step up to the plate and ask maddie to the crash graduation party . things continue to be awkward between will and maddie , unknown to casey and gwen , as they butt heads over how will should handle the fact he bought his term paper . damian and luke come face to face and it is n't exactly a loving reunion . after luke storms off , damian is concerned about the hostility he is seeing in his son , and lily is forced to share with him that luke is gay . jack and mike talk to del who tells them about nick 's involvement in maya 's demise . mike had already started wondering about this considering some information he recently found out . they realize nick has taken all of his belongings , hotwired katie 's car , and that carly 's purse has been dropped on the garage floor , probably meaning he has both of them . they just do n't know where they all have gone . nick holds carly and katie at gunpoint . carly is starting to realize how dire the situation is becoming and is forced to explain that to katie who still thinks nick is just acting erratically . carly realizes it is up to her to stop nick because it is becoming apparent things are n't going to end well for them . katie takes carly 's cue , as they put their seat belts on and join hands as carly violently swerves the car off the road .</s> | 2,327 |

[ scene_break ] darren : has your brother ever been in trouble before ? destiny : greg ? he was a straight - a student . he got every honor our school handed out . he was the dude who hung the moon . darren : that does n't mean he did n't get into trouble . it just means he never got caught . destiny : why are you trying to ruin my brother 's rep ? darren : i 'm not . it 's just -- you 're the one who said he lied under oath . destiny : i said i think he lied , and if he did , it was for a reason . darren : it there is a reason , my brother 's the kind of detective who will get to the bottom of it . big brothers are the coolest dudes on the planet , but they make mistakes , too . destiny : what mistakes did your brother make ? darren : all that matters is that he made it right . i bet yours does , too . he 's probably coming clean with shaun right now .

[ scene_break ] kiki : first , i tried to get morgan to bury evidence for your sake , and then i -- michael : unless you skipped the part where you told him to hide the gun or wipe the prints , all you did was ask him to wait . kiki : the point is , is that i did n't immediately support morgan 's choice to call the police . michael : well , thank you for that . kiki : i was wrong . michael : well , i appreciate you at least considering keeping it quiet . kiki : morgan does n't appreciate it . and he certainly did n't appreciate the fact that i was at the police station .

[ scene_break ] olivia : why would kiki try to keep you from turning in the gun ? why would she try to protect aj ? i thought her not being a quartermaine was the thing that started this all in the first place . morgan : it 's not about aj . she wanted to protect michael .

[ scene_break ] kiki : first , i tried to get morgan to bury evidence for your sake , and then i -- michael : unless you skipped the part where you told him to hide the gun or wipe the prints , all you did was ask him to wait . kiki : the point is , is that i did n't immediately support morgan 's choice to call the police . michael : well , thank you for that . kiki : i was wrong . michael : well , i appreciate you at least considering keeping it quiet . kiki : morgan does n't appreciate it . and he certainly did n't appreciate the fact that i was at the police station .
