'cause it 's crazy talk ! this is stacy ! cutter : how do you know , if she 's in a coma ? kim : you do n't know what happened . you were n't there ! cutter : oh , and you were ? kim : yeah , i was . so believe whatever you want to believe , cutter . this is my girl . cutter : okay . all right . if this is really stacy , how 'd she end up in a hospital bed ? [ scene_break ] rama : you and cutter broke up ? well , good for you . it 's about time . vimal : rama , i do n't think aubrey thinks this is as joyous an occasion as you do . rama : oh , you 're right . i 'm sorry , aubrey . i 'm just trying to make you look on the bright side . tell me . what happened ? aubrey : it 's complicated . rama : i see . vimal , darling ? vimal : oh , yeah . yeah . by all means , you -- you tend to your broken - hearted friend , my -- my succulent samosa . i 'll just -- i 'll just wait here until your return . rama : okay . you 're my king amongst princes . come on . brody : you leave and let me do my job . vimal : not until you look me in the eye and tell me the truth . did you kill victor lord ? shaun : hey , vim . something wrong ? [ scene_break ] natalie : you 're really dedicated to cracking this case . brody : that 's my job . yours , too . natalie : yes , and a job of many other people whose shifts are starting right now . brody , when we catch my uncle , which we will , that does n't mean that this case is a slam dunk . brody : come on , natalie . eight years -- that 's how much time irene and victor stole from todd . in that time , his daughter grew up , she had a baby , she graduated high school . natalie : yes , and his son turned how to be a sociopath . brody : yeah , all the more reason todd needed to be here to be a father to his kids . if someone had taken all that away from me ... natalie : you 'd kill them , too ? [ scene_break ] jessica : john . john : hey , jess . i 'm sorry to bother you . jessica : no bother . come on in . john : yeah ? jessica : come in . john : thanks . did n't wake anybody , did i ? jessica : i do n't think so . john : i just work so late , i lose track of the time . you okay ? jessica : oh . [ chuckles ] yeah , well , you should see the other guy . john : hmm . jessica : what can i do for you ? john : thought you might have some information for me . [ scene_break ] brody : all i 'm saying is , after what victor did to todd , todd killing his brother is n't a stretch . and it 's not like we do n't have any evidence against the guy . i - i -- come on . you id 'd todd 's blood at irene 's murder scene . does n't that change your opinion ? natalie : it 's just something to consider . brody : and jack pretty much witnessed victor 's murder . [ scene_break ] [ gun shot ] shane : unfortunately for you , it is loaded . now quit whining and start talking . jack : i ca n't . shane : say the words , jack ! i missed on purpose that time . next time , i wo n't ! jack : okay ! i - i -- rex : whoa , shane ! do n't ! [ scene_break ] rama : okay . tell me everything . what did that scum cutter wentworth do to you ? aubrey : he lied to me . i know . big surprise , right ? i got what i deserved . rama : no , never say that , aubrey . you 're a decent person ... who has lost her way from time to time . aubrey : i 'm a recovering con artist . rama : so what ? you still deserve better than that faithless cutter . you should be glad you 're free from him and all his lies . what was it this time ? another woman ? he was cheating on you , was n't he ? aubrey : no , no . it was nothing like that . we ... found a gun . rama : a gun ? ! aubrey : shhh ! rama : what gun ? what -- where did you find a gun ? ! aubrey : it was hidden inside a porcupine that cutter got from the flea market . rama : what ? aubrey : we have reason to believe that it has something to do with victor lord jr. 's murder . rama : vimal 's boss ? aubrey : cutter promised me that he would turn in the gun , but instead , he tried to use it in some blackmail scheme . he 's the same grifter he 's always been . he 's never gon na change , and i 'm done . [ scene_break ] cutter : when 's the last time you talked to ol ' stacy ? kim : i talk to her every day . cutter : when she could talk back to you . kim : last spring at the pony . she showed up with gigi 's face and told me her whole whacked - out plan to replace her and try and win back that doof , rex . cutter : and you thought this was a good idea ? kim : no . of course not . i told you . i begged her to drop the whole plan and go back to that surgeon . he does amazing work , by the way . i should know . i just wanted her to go back to him so he could turn her back into the beautiful stacy i knew and loved , but stacy being stacy , she did n't listen . she took off for llanview . cutter : and you just let her go . kim : no , i went after her . by the time i got there ... it was too late . [ scene_break ] shaun : hey , vim . what 's up ? vimal : huh ? shaun : really burns me , too , way they did the boss . vimal : yeah . yeah . senseless tragedy . shaun : it just was n't right . i know victor was a hard guy , but if you took the time to get to know him , look past the headlines , there was a person there . vimal : yeah . he was really kind to me when we first met . he ... held me and let me cry on his shoulder until -- oh . no . we were really drunk . shaun : oh . well , he deserved better than what he got , and from his own brother . at least the cops got their man , and victor will get justice . vimal : yeah . yeah , maybe . shaun : maybe ? maybe what ? [ scene_break ] brody : you still think jack is lying ? natalie : he has a reason to want todd behind bars , so we have to consider that when weighing his statement . brody : i know that . natalie : all right ? if we want these charges against todd to stick , then we 're going to have to examine every piece of evidence . we 're gon na have to rule out every other suspect . so , who else would want him gone ? vimal : victor lord jr. was murdered . brody : we heard . and i 'm busy with the investigation , so -- vimal : who else knew the truth about liam ? brody : you want a megaphone ? vimal : dr. saybrooke , me , and mr. lord . dr. saybrooke can never come back to llanview . me , i swore to keep your secret safe . so we 're no threat , but mr. lord was . brody : you need to leave and let me do my job . vimal : not until you look me in the eye and tell me the truth . did you kill victor lord ? natalie : what is it ? do you have another suspect in mind ? [ scene_break ] jessica : information ? what kind of information do you think i have ? john : well , i - i just -- i wanted to say i know things are difficult right now and you 're under a lot of pressure . jessica : pressure ? john : yeah , i mean , todd 's your uncle , right ? jessica : what ? john : well , i know you two are close , and , um , since he broke out of jail , i thought maybe he might have come to you for help . have you seen him ? jessica : no . sorry . um , i - i have n't seen him . john : okay . you know , he 's not doing himself any favors by staying on the run . jessica : no , of course not . and , um , i will encourage him to turn himself in if i see him , which i have n't . um , and ... what ? john : i just get the feeling you 're holding back . there something you want to tell me ? [ scene_break ] blair : what happened ? did -- did todd take a turn for the worse ? téa : no , i got him into bed . blair : excuse me ? téa : i made him go to bed . his fever broke , so all he needs to do now is rest . blair : [ sighs ] téa : what are you doing back here ? blair : i 'm here to give you an update . jack admitted to starr that he lied to the cops about todd . téa : jack admitted that -- that todd was n't there the night victor was murdered ? that 's great ! now nora has to throw out his statement and -- and drop the charges against todd ! blair : whoa , there . slow it down here . when starr wanted to jack to go forward and recant his statement , of course , jack refused . téa : you 're kidding . blair : no , i wish that i was . in fact , he even challenged starr to prove that he did it . i do n't know why , but my son is hell - bent on seeing his father fried for something that he did n't do . so , once again , whatever happens to todd is in jack 's hands . [ scene_break ] jack : what are you waiting for ? ! do something ! he 's gon na kill me ! bo : no . no , he 's not . put the gun down , shane . shane : [ voice breaking ] jack killed my mom . rex : shane , we know . shane : and now he 's gon na admit it . he was about to when you guys showed up . were n't you , jack ? ! jack : please ! rex : shane , look at me ! shane : he 's going down , dad , one way or another . he 's going down ! rex : sh -- look at me ! ! this is not the way to do this . shane : how else is he gon na pay for what he did ? rex : any other way , okay ? but not this way . not a - a - a way that puts somebody else in the ground . shane : but you always said that -- rex : i made mistakes , okay ? i 'm so -- i - i - i - i 've been focused on revenge and anger , and i 've done something i swore i 'd never do . i 've lost sight of you , okay ? and i am sorry . shane : [ voice breaking ] i have to do this , dad -- for mom . rex : do you think this is what your mom would want ? because she would n't . she would want us alive and well and together , but we wo n't be if you do this . okay ? and then i will die , shane . i will die without you . now , please , put down the gun . please . [ scene_break ] shaun : what do you mean , `` maybe `` ? the cops arrested victor 's brother and charged him with the crime . do you have reason to think someone else did the deed ? vimal : no . shaun : vimal , if you know something -- vimal : no , i do n't . not really . it 's just ... i - i met this man . shaun : scarface ? vimal : yeah . i ran into him at the sun before he revealed himself to the world . he was angling to get into mr. lord 's office . shaun : did you get a read on the guy ? vimal : that 's the thing . i did think that he was a little shifty , but ... i did n't get `` killer `` from him . shaun : well , he had n't killed anybody yet . i would n't worry about it . jack practically witnessed the whole thing . and all the cops need to do is find the 9 mm that todd manning used on his brother . then it 's case closed . [ scene_break ] rama : so this gun belonged to rex balsom and he used it to kill vimal 's boss ? aubrey : that 's cutter 's theory . he wanted to use it to blackmail rex . rama : typical . just like that venal sister of his who stole all my money and then took off , never to be seen again . bitch . aubrey : actually ... i 've seen her . [ scene_break ] cutter : so , you went after stacy ? kim : i had to ! the girl was loco . the second i touched down in llanview , i made a beeline to gigi and rex 's house -- you know , the one on old lady lord 's property . i figured that 's where stacy would go . but when i got there , it was empty , except i found this message on a computer screen with an address . cutter : the house that gigi ended up in ? kim : it was the only clue that stacy had , so i figured she 'd be there . then i saw that the door was open to the basement . i saw stacy at the bottom of the stairs . she was passed out . cutter : but how do you know it was stacy if you could n't even talk to her ? kim : because she was wearing the same clothes she was wearing when she left kentucky . satisfied , sherlock ? i figured she was overcome with the gases and passed out . cutter : all right . what about gigi ? where was she ? kim : there was another room down there . so i opened the door , and ... there was gigi sprawled out on the floor ... dead . [ scene_break ] natalie : brody ? can you think of someone else who wanted victor dead ? rex ? hey , what 's going on ? brody : shane , are you okay ? jack : shane tried to shoot me . i want him in jail . shane : should n't your first request be for a diaper , wizzy ? bo : ah , ah , ah . that 's enough . i want you to get this to , uh , ballistics asap . have them compare it to the data from the victor lord murder . natalie : do you think this could be the murder weapon ? bo : get me the comparison . [ scene_break ] john : come on , jess . is there something you want to tell me ? ryder : [ cries ] jessica : uh , that 's ryder . um , excuse me for one second . [ scene_break ] bo : shane was holding a gun on jack . brody : anybody get hurt ? bo : nothing but , uh , jack 's pride . do me a favor , will you ? get him down to the locker room and clean him up . do n't want one of his parents all of a sudden suing the city because , uh , their kid got traumatized . brody : do you want me to get a hold of blair ? bo : no . leave that to me . [ scene_break ] blair : ugh . every day , i think the situation ca n't get any worse , but you know what ? it does . téa : blair , i think jack might need some professional help . blair : i know he 's -- he does , téa . he does . téa : and some serious face time with todd . i know it wo n't be easy , but he needs to come to terms with the fact that that man upstairs is his father . blair : well , how 's that gon na happen with todd hiding out , trying to escape a murder charge ? téa : leave it to me . blair : wait a minute . you -- you have a plan here or something ? téa : well , if jack wo n't admit that he was lying , then we only have one viable option left , and that 's to find the real killer . blair : if the cops ca n't come up with a viable suspect , what makes you think you can ? téa : the police have a viable suspect . they just refuse to admit it . blair : who ? téa : rex balsom . [ scene_break ] bo : i think it 's time that we had a serious talk . rex : bo , i 'm sorry . there wo n't be any talking . not without my attorney present . bo : if that 's the way you want it , balsom -- shane : no . rex : shane , it 's fine , okay ? shane : no . no . no ! i do n't want a lawyer , and i do n't want to keep quiet anymore . i want to confess . i 'm just a piece of dirt stuck here in a rut . [ scene_break ] rama : you 've seen cutter 's sister ? aubrey : ow , you are crushing my hand ! rama : i need details ! where did you see her and when did you lay eyes on that vulture - faced whore ? aubrey : a few days ago at my motel . rama : that must have been so weird coming face - to - face with the real aubrey wentworth . aubrey : she goes by the name kim andrews now . she came to llanview looking for cutter , and here 's the thing -- it was n't her first trip here either . rama : what do you mean ? all this time , she 's been under my nose and i had no idea ? aubrey : and get this . she used to be married to my ex - father - in - law , clint buchanan ! rama : shut up . why would clint marry that ball of ugly ? aubrey : she 's not that ugly anymore . she had the surgery , and she must have had a lot of it , 'cause the girl is hot . rama : my money paid for that hot , the money she stole from me ! where is she ? i ca n't wait to get my hands on her . by the time i 'm done with that girl , that `` kim andrews , `` she 'll have to go back under the knife again just to look like a human being . aubrey : well , i do n't know what happened to her , but i would n't be surprised if she teamed up with cutter again . [ scene_break ] cutter : so , you go down into this basement , and you find two gigis , one who you think is stacy passed out , one who you think is gigi practically dead ? kim : right . cutter : so then what ? kim : so then i grabbed stacy and got the hell out of there before the fumes got to me , too . cutter : so you just left gigi there to rot ? kim : do i look like i can carry two people up a flight of steps by myself ? i got the living out first , okay ? and then as soon as i threw stacy in my car , i was gon na go back for gigi , and that 's when rex sped up . cutter : but rex never mentioned seeing you . kim : that 's because he did n't . he ran straight into the house , and as soon as the door closed behind him , i took off . do n't look at me like that ! what if the cops showed up ? they would have had all these kinds of questions that i would n't be able to answer . and stacy could n't . so i got my girl to the hospital in cherryvale and then moved her to kentucky when it was safe . she 's been like this ever since . so there . as you can see , this is 100 % stacy . believe me now ? [ scene_break ] shane : keeping quiet is what caused all of our problems , dad . you were right before . mom would n't have wanted this . and the only way to fix it is by telling the truth . rex : shane , if you can just wait -- shane : dad , please ! [ voice breaking ] i ca n't keep this secret any longer . it 's killing me . bo : we 'll make this as easy on him as we can , balsom . rex : you do what you have to do . bo : why do n't you tell me about the gun ? shane : it 's the same one i had the night of jack 's dad 's murder . bo : so you 've used this gun before ? shane : i knew he kept it in the safe . so i - i took it , and i swiped a car , and i went over to jack 's house . bo : why did you take the gun ? shane : i wanted to make jack and his dad pay for what they did . jack : damn it ! shane : when i got to the house , jack was about to go in . and before i knew it , i hit him over the head with the gun . one second he was standing there , and ... the next , he was on the ground . bo : whoa , hold on . hold on . you were the one that hit jack ? shane : yeah . bo : all right . what happened -- what happened next ? shane : i was standing above jack with the gun . it was like i was n't even there a - and i was just watching . like it was happening to someone else , not me . a - and then all of a sudden , i was , a - and i was there , and i - i could n't do it . i wanted to make things right for mom . i wanted to take jack away like he did to her , but ... i could n't . rex : you did the right thing , shane . your mom would be proud . bo : what happened then , shane ? [ scene_break ] shaun : i never had an employer hire or fire me so many times . i even worked for dorian lord . vimal : wait , did you say that a 9 mm handgun was used to shoot victor lord ? shaun : yeah . that 's what the paper said . why ? vimal : oh , my god . it 's true . brody : be quiet . vimal : you shot victor lord . brody : keep your voice down . vimal : are you gon na kill me , too ? you were a navy seal . you can make me disappear . i wo n't let you . brody : vimal , shut up ! vimal : is n't a 9 mm standard issue for officers of the lpd ? shaun : yeah . they all carry -- wait a minute . what are you saying ? that a cop killed victor lord ? [ scene_break ] brody : can i get you anything ? water ? soda ? jack : i just want to go home . brody : soon . as soon as the commissioner says it 's okay . jack : i 'm gon na have your badges , you know that ? brody : excuse me ? jack : if you let shane get away with what he did to me -- brody : the way you got away with killing gigi ? jack : you 're not getting justice for me or my dad . it 's like he always said , you guys are all the same . you 're all corrupt . [ scene_break ] jessica : i 'm sorry . i did n't mean to run out in the middle of our conversation . it 's just he has been so fussy , and he has n't really been sleeping very well lately . john : hey . there he is . jessica : yeah . john : yeah , i kind of remember that with liam . you know , he was very particular about sleeping , you know -- when he went to bed , who put him to bed . is n't that right , little man ? jessica : here , did you want to take a whirl ? john : oh , no . not me . ryder : [ screams ] jessica : well , you could n't be doing any worse than what i 'm doing right now . john : you do n't know -- you do n't know that . jessica : shhh . there you go . john : all right . there you go , buddy . it 's okay . go ahead and disturb the police . we wo n't call them . jessica : [ chuckles ] john : we wo n't call no cops . no problems . jessica : [ laughs ] see , look ? you 're great with him . john : no , i think i 'm boring him . jessica : [ chuckling ] no , no , not at all . [ sighs ] well , um , did you hear the good news , that natalie and brody are engaged ? john : yeah , so i heard . how are you with that ? jessica : oh , i do n't know . you ? john : if they 're happy , i 'm happy . jessica : do you really mean that ? john : no . jessica : i 'm really sorry about how everything worked out for you . john : did n't turn out too great for you , either . jessica : guess not . john : you know , everything turned out okay for you in the end , right ? i mean , look , you got this little guy out of it . that 's pretty good . it 's got to make you feel good . jessica : yeah . yeah , he sure does . john : well , look , i think my work here is done . jessica : it certainly is . john : he 's -- he 's had it with me . jessica : thank you . thank you . hi . you 're okay . john : and , um , you know , thank you for , um , for telling me -- telling me what you knew . jessica : i did n't know anything . john : i know . but you would have told me if you did . good night . jessica : [ sighs ] [ scene_break ] bo : shane , what happened after you hit jack ? now , did you go inside ? did you , uh , did you see victor lord ? you said that you could n't shoot jack , but could you have shot victor ? did you ? [ scene_break ] blair : you really think rex killed victor ? téa : i think he 's a viable suspect , and i let the commissioner know as much . blair : oh , well , that must have been special . we all know how much bo loves it when people tell him how to do his job . what 'd he say ? téa : he was his usual evasive self . but i lit a fire under him , and i 'm going to fan the flames until he follows up . blair : well , i hope you know that bo thinks of rex as a son . you know that , right ? téa : and i intend to draw attention to that relationship should the commissioner fail to adequately investigate . blair : hmm . well , you know what ? it makes sense . rex would have access to weapons over at asa 's , and you remember how he looked at us when we went over there to pay our respects to -- for gigi . téa : i certainly do . blair : oh , gosh . so , jack is responsible for gigi 's death . victor wants to cover it up . so rex would have a motive . yeah , it would make sense that rex would -- would kill victor . téa : are you saying my husband got what he deserved ? blair : no , i 'm just -- i 'm agreeing with you on this . rex lost the woman that he loved . i mean , if that does n't make you crazy with hate , i do n't know what does . [ scene_break ] kim : are we clear now ? are we agreed that this is stacy ? cutter : fine . we 're agreed . kim : thank you ! cutter : as long as you agree to give me those documents . you know , the ones that are gon na get me back clint buchanan 's fortune . kim : i told you . i 'm not doing that . i 'm gon na make sure clint gets back everything that 's rightfully his . cutter : all right . fine . as long as you do n't mind your friend stacy going down for murder . kim : what are you talking about ? stacy had nothing to do with what happened with gigi . cutter : really ? how do you know ? you were n't there . oh , but you did know that stacy was planning on taking over gigi 's life . kim : it does n't prove she killed anybody . cutter : what did you think stacy was gon na do to gigi after she took over her life ? kim : you do n't know her . cutter : whether stacy 's responsible for gigi 's carbon - monoxide poisoning or not , we know that she wanted her sister dead . so she 's gon na go down for murder . and lucky you , you 'll be an accessory ! kim : you pig . you 'd send your own sister to jail ? cutter : i 'm just trying to help you , sis . kim : yeah , you 're a real lifesaver . cutter : look , all you got to do is work with me , and nobody will know what you and stacy did . so , what 's it gon na be ? kim : okay . okay , i 'll give it to you ... on one condition . [ scene_break ] rama : i thought cutter and his sister had n't seen each other in ages . now they 're partners ? aubrey : i do n't know . i 'm really just guessing . but they 've conspired together before . and now that i 'm out of the picture and cutter 's back to his old ways , he 's gon na need a new partner in crime . rama : and no - longer - hideous kim is probably it . aubrey : well , if you have a bone to pick with her , you 're gon na have to ask cutter where she is , assuming he 'd give up his sister . rama : i 'm not going anywhere , cutter , not if you want me to keep your dirty little secret . [ scoffs ] do n't worry . i have ways of making him talk . [ scene_break ] bo : shane , you can tell me . now , did you shoot victor ? shane : no . bo : all right . what happened after you , uh , knocked jack out ? shane : i got really worried . he was n't waking up . i dragged him to the car , drove him to the hospital , and just left him out front . he killed my mom , and ... i saved his life . rex : and i could n't be prouder . bo : what happened when you left the hospital ? shane : i went straight home , put the gun in the safe , and then went to bed . rex : [ sighs ] look , bo , it 's late . we 've had a long day . you mind if i just took shane home now ? bo : well , i 'm sorry , balsom . not yet . no , not -- echo told you that that gun had already been fired . rex : yeah , i know , but -- bo : shane , are you sure that you did not fire that weapon ? [ scene_break ] brody : how 'd the tests go ? natalie : i just got the results back on the ballistics . brody : mm - hmm . so ? is it the murder weapon ? [ scene_break ] rama : aubrey , i 'm sorry cutter hurt you again . but i promise you this -- i will get him and that rodent - faced sister of his back in spades . aubrey : what did you have in mind ? rama : oh , you 'll find out . [ scene_break ] cutter : half ? kim : you heard me . cutter : you 're in no position to demand anything . kim : the way i see it , stacy and i go to jail , you get nothing , clint gets his money back , and ... cutter : and what ? you get to live at his house under house arrest ? kim : i need the money to take care of stacy ! it 's not like i can trust you to do it , right ? so that 's the deal . take it or leave it . cutter : fine . agreed . kim : just one more thing . cutter : what ? ! kim : it 's not like this document gives you anything . it all goes to clint . how are you even gon na -- cutter : let me handle that . kim : you 're a real son of a bitch , you know that ? cutter : you know what ? i 'm a brother of one , too . mwah ! [ cell phone rings ] cutter : all right . i got to take this . kim : yeah , it might be your accountant . cutter : [ laughs sarcastically ] [ door closes ] cutter : hello ? rama : it 's rama . cutter : to what do i owe the pleasure ? rama : you and i need to meet . it 's high time we take care of some unfinished business . [ scene_break ] jessica : [ sighs ] i know . i know . i should have told john , but i could n't have . i just could n't do that to brody . [ scene_break ] john : what 'd i miss ? natalie : uh , we should bring you up to speed . [ scene_break ] blair : well , i am gon na head back down the hill . are you gon na be all right up here with -- with todd ? téa : yeah . dani 's staying at destiny 's tonight . if only she knew that her mother were harboring her fugitive , wounded father up in her aunt 's cabin . [ sighs ] blair : sweetheart , this ca n't go on forever . téa : it 'll go on for as long as it needs to until i find my husband 's killer . [ scene_break ] bo : shane , i need to know how the gun from your dad 's safe ended up being fired . shane : i used it once before i went over to jack 's house . i had never fired that gun before , so i took a practice shot at the fence in our back yard . you believe me , do n't you ? [ knock on door ] bo : yeah ? come in . what is it ? natalie : okay . i tested a slug from the gun and i compared it against the slug we pulled out of victor . they 're not a match , which means ... this gun was not used to kill victor lord . john : so i guess that rules out shane as a suspect . jack : i always said it was scarface . bo : yeah , but that was n't the truth , was it , jack ? 'cause shane just told me he was the one that hit you , not todd . in other words , you lied . right ? jack : it does n't mean scarface did n't do it . john : does n't mean he did it , either . bo : get him out of here . brody , take jack home . [ scene_break ] shaun : i know how the boss felt about the lpd . i think you 're maybe taking this a little bit too much to heart . vimal : you think so ? shaun : commissioner buchanan is good people . and his troops are true blue . not one of them could have iced victor . so i 'm telling you , vimal , whoever did this did n't wear a badge . vimal : i hope you 're right . [ scene_break ] john : so , we do n't have any real evidence against manning for victor 's murder . | at victor 's gravesite , shane holds a gun on jack and demands that he admits that he and his friend killed gigi and that victor let his son get away with it . jack does not admit that . but bo and rex find them and rex persuades his son to put the gun down and not shoot jack . and , they find out , for the first time , that it was shane who knocked jack out and then took him to the hospital so jack 's story that he saw and heard todd kill victor is proven false . yet the cops still do not know who killed victor . todd is still a suspect with motive . tea and blair are hiding him at the cabin . rama goes to find cutter and tells him she knows his sister who stole from her to pay for the plastic surgery is not far away . kim is alone in the hospital room with unconscious stacy who appears to have had plastic surgery to look just like gigi , with the hopes of making rex love her . | <s>[INST] jack : i 'm just gon na go . shane : no , you 're not going anywhere ! not until you confess . jack : there 's nothing to confess ! shane : i want to hear all of it . tell me ! and tell my mom . jack : your mom ? shane : from the beginning ! about how you and brad tried to lure me into that basement , about how my mom went instead , and how she died because of it . jack : that was n't my fault ! shane : tell me what you did ! or die ... just like my mom . [ scene_break ] cutter : let me ask you something , sis . how can you be so sure that that 's stacy ? kim : what ? cutter : how do you know that that is n't really gigi morasco ? kim : have you been listening to me ? ! cutter : yes . i 've heard every word , all right ? you told me that your friend turned herself into gigi so she could win over rex and take her place . all right , how do you know that did n't already happen ? how do you know that stacy did n't already take gigi 's place ?

's murder . rama : vimal 's boss ? aubrey : cutter promised me that he would turn in the gun , but instead , he tried to use it in some blackmail scheme . he 's the same grifter he 's always been . he 's never gon na change , and i 'm done . [ scene_break ] cutter : when 's the last time you talked to ol ' stacy ? kim : i talk to her every day . cutter : when she could talk back to you . kim : last spring at the pony . she showed up with gigi 's face and told me her whole whacked - out plan to replace her and try and win back that doof , rex . cutter : and you thought this was a good idea ? kim : no . of course not . i told you . i begged her to drop the whole plan and go back to that surgeon . he does amazing work , by the way . i should know . i just wanted her to go back to him so he could turn her back into the beautiful stacy i knew and loved , but stacy being stacy , she did n't listen . she took off for llanview . cutter : and you just let her go . kim : no , i went after her . by the time i got there ... it was too late . [ scene_break ] shaun : hey , vim . what 's up ? vimal : huh ? shaun : really burns me , too , way they did the boss . vimal : yeah . yeah . senseless tragedy . shaun : it just was n't right . i know victor was a hard guy , but if you took the time to get to know him , look past the headlines , there was a person there . vimal : yeah . he was really kind to me when we first met . he ... held me and let me cry on his shoulder until -- oh . no . we were really drunk . shaun : oh . well , he deserved better than what he got , and from his own brother . at least the cops got their man , and victor will get justice . vimal : yeah . yeah , maybe . shaun : maybe ? maybe what ? [ scene_break ] brody : you still think jack is lying ? natalie : he has a reason to want todd behind bars , so we have to consider that when weighing his statement . brody : i know that . natalie : all right ? if we want these charges against todd to stick , then we 're going to have to examine every piece of evidence . we 're gon na have to rule out every other suspect . so , who else would want him gone ? vimal : victor lord jr. was murdered . brody : we heard . and i 'm busy with the investigation , so -- vimal : who else knew the truth about liam ? brody : you want a megaphone ? vimal : dr. saybrooke , me , and mr. lord . dr. saybrooke can never come back to llanview . me , i swore to keep your secret safe . so we 're no threat , but mr. lord was . brody : you need to leave and let me do my job . vimal : not until you look me in the eye and tell me the truth . did you kill victor lord ? natalie : what is it ? do you have another suspect in mind ? [ scene_break ] jessica : information ? what kind of information do you think i have ? john : well , i - i just -- i wanted to say i know things are difficult right now and you 're under a lot of pressure . jessica : pressure ? john : yeah , i mean , todd 's your uncle , right ? jessica : what ? john : well , i know you two are close , and , um , since he broke out of jail , i thought maybe he might have come to you for help . have you seen him ? jessica : no . sorry . um , i - i have n't seen him . john : okay . you know , he 's not doing himself any favors by staying on the run . jessica : no , of course not . and , um , i will encourage him to turn himself in if i see him , which i have n't . um , and ... what ? john : i just get the feeling you 're holding back . there something you want to tell me ? [ scene_break ] blair : what happened ? did -- did todd take a turn for the worse ? téa : no , i got him into bed . blair : excuse me ? téa : i made him go to bed . his fever broke , so all he needs to do now is rest . blair : [ sighs ] téa : what are you doing back here ? blair : i 'm here to give you an update . jack admitted to starr that he lied to the cops about todd . téa : jack admitted that -- that todd was n't there the night victor was murdered ? that 's great ! now nora has to throw out his statement and -- and drop the charges against todd ! blair : whoa , there . slow it down here . when starr wanted to jack to go forward and recant his statement , of course , jack refused . téa : you 're kidding . blair : no , i wish that i was . in fact , he even challenged starr to prove that he did it . i do n't know why , but my son is hell - bent on seeing his father fried for something that he did n't do . so , once again , whatever happens to todd is in jack 's hands . [ scene_break ] jack : what are you waiting for ? ! do something ! he 's gon na kill me ! bo : no . no , he 's not . put the gun down , shane . shane : [ voice breaking ] jack killed my mom . rex : shane , we know . shane : and now he 's gon na admit it . he was about to when you guys showed up . were n't you , jack ? ! jack : please ! rex : shane , look at me ! shane : he 's going down , dad , one way or another . he 's going down ! rex : sh -- look at me ! ! this is not the way to do this . shane : how else is he gon na pay for what he did ? rex : any other way , okay ? but not this way . not a - a - a way that puts somebody else in the ground . shane : but you always said that -- rex : i made mistakes , okay ? i 'm so -- i - i - i - i 've been focused on revenge and anger , and i 've done something i swore i 'd never do . i 've lost sight of you , okay ? and i am sorry . shane : [ voice breaking ] i have to do this , dad -- for mom . rex : do you think this is what your mom would want ? because she would n't . she would want us alive and well and together , but we wo n't be if you do this . okay ? and then i will die , shane . i will die without you . now , please , put down the gun . please . [ scene_break ] shaun : what do you mean , `` maybe `` ? the cops arrested victor 's brother and charged him with the crime . do you have reason to think someone else did the deed ? vimal : no . shaun : vimal , if you know something -- vimal : no , i do n't . not really . it 's just ... i - i met this man . shaun : scarface ? vimal : yeah . i ran into him at the sun before he revealed himself to the world . he was angling to get into mr. lord 's office . shaun : did you get a read on the guy ? vimal : that 's the thing . i did think that he was a little shifty , but ... i did n't get `` killer `` from him . shaun : well , he had n't killed anybody yet . i would n't worry about it . jack practically witnessed the whole thing . and all the cops need to do is find the 9 mm that todd manning used on his brother . then it 's case closed . [ scene_break ] rama : so this gun belonged to rex balsom and he used it to kill vimal 's boss ? aubrey : that 's cutter 's theory . he wanted to use it to blackmail rex . rama : typical . just like that venal sister of his who stole all my money and then took off , never to be seen again . bitch . aubrey : actually ... i 've seen her . [ scene_break ] cutter : so , you went after stacy ? kim : i had to ! the girl was loco . the second i touched down in llanview , i made a beeline to gigi and rex 's house -- you know , the one on old lady lord 's property . i figured that 's where stacy would go . but when i got there , it was empty , except i found this message on a computer screen with an address . cutter : the house that gigi ended up in ? kim : it was the only clue that stacy had , so i figured she 'd be there . then i saw that the door was open to the basement . i saw stacy at the bottom of the stairs . she was passed out . cutter : but how do you know it was stacy if you could n't even talk to her ? kim : because she was wearing the same clothes she was wearing when she left kentucky . satisfied , sherlock ? i figured she was overcome with the gases and passed out . cutter : all right . what about gigi ? where was she ? kim : there was another room down there . so i opened the door , and ... there was gigi sprawled out on the floor ... dead . [ scene_break ] natalie : brody ? can you think of someone else who wanted victor dead ? rex ? hey , what 's going on ? brody : shane , are you okay ? jack : shane tried to shoot me . i want him in jail . shane : should n't your first request be for a diaper , wizzy ? bo : ah , ah , ah . that 's enough . i want you to get this to , uh , ballistics asap . have them compare it to the data from the victor lord murder . natalie : do you think this could be the murder weapon ? bo : get me the comparison . [ scene_break ] john : come on , jess . is there something you want to tell me ? ryder : [ cries ] jessica : uh , that 's ryder . um , excuse me for one second . [ scene_break ] bo : shane was holding a gun on jack . brody : anybody get hurt ? bo : nothing but , uh , jack 's pride . do me a favor , will you ? get him down to the locker room and clean him up . do n't want one of his parents all of a sudden suing the city because , uh , their kid got traumatized . brody : do you want me to get a hold of blair ? bo : no . leave that to me . [ scene_break ] blair : ugh . every day , i think the situation ca n't get any worse , but you know what ? it does . téa : blair , i think jack might need some professional help . blair : i know he 's -- he does , téa . he does . téa : and some serious face time with todd . i know it wo n't be easy , but he needs to come to terms with the fact that that man upstairs is his father . blair : well , how 's that gon na happen with todd hiding out , trying to escape a murder charge ? téa : leave it to me . blair : wait a minute . you -- you have a plan here or something ? téa : well , if jack wo n't admit that he was lying , then we only have one viable option left , and that 's to find the real killer . blair : if the cops ca n't come up with a viable suspect , what makes you think you can ? téa : the police have a viable suspect . they just refuse to admit it . blair : who ? téa : rex balsom . [ scene_break ] bo : i think it 's time that we had a serious talk . rex : bo , i 'm sorry . there wo n't be any talking . not without my attorney present . bo : if that 's the way you want it , balsom -- shane : no . rex : shane , it 's fine , okay ? shane : no . no . no ! i do n't want a lawyer , and i do n't want to keep quiet anymore . i want to confess . i 'm just a piece of dirt stuck here in a rut . [ scene_break ] rama : you 've seen cutter 's sister ? aubrey : ow , you are crushing my hand ! rama : i need details ! where did you see her and when did you lay eyes on that vulture - faced whore ? aubrey : a few days ago at my motel . rama : that must have been so weird coming face - to - face with the real aubrey wentworth . aubrey : she goes by the name kim andrews now . she came to llanview looking for cutter , and here 's the thing -- it was n't her first trip here either . rama : what do you mean ? all this time , she 's been under my nose and i had no idea ? aubrey : and get this . she used to be married to my ex - father - in - law , clint buchanan ! rama : shut up . why would clint marry that ball of ugly ? aubrey : she 's not that ugly anymore . she had the surgery , and she must have had a lot of it , 'cause the girl is hot . rama : my money paid for that hot , the money she stole from me ! where is she ? i ca n't wait to get my hands on her . by the time i 'm done with that girl , that `` kim andrews , `` she 'll have to go back under the knife again just to look like a human being . aubrey : well , i do n't know what happened to her , but i would n't be surprised if she teamed up with cutter again . [ scene_break ] cutter : so , you go down into this basement , and you find two gigis , one who you think is stacy passed out , one who you think is gigi practically dead ? kim : right . cutter : so then what ? kim : so then i grabbed stacy and got the hell out of there before the fumes got to me , too . cutter : so you just left gigi there to rot ? kim : do i look like i can carry two people up a flight of steps by myself ? i got the living out first , okay ? and then as soon as i threw stacy in my car , i was gon na go back for gigi , and that 's when rex sped up . cutter : but rex never mentioned seeing you . kim : that 's because he did n't . he ran straight into the house , and as soon as the door closed behind him , i took off . do n't look at me like that ! what if the cops showed up ? they would have had all these kinds of questions that i would n't be able to answer . and stacy could n't . so i got my girl to the hospital in cherryvale and then moved her to kentucky when it was safe . she 's been like this ever since . so there . as you can see , this is 100 % stacy . believe me now ? [ scene_break ] shane : keeping quiet is what caused all of our problems , dad . you were right before . mom would n't have wanted this . and the only way to fix it is by telling the truth . rex : shane , if you can just wait -- shane : dad , please ! [ voice breaking ] i ca n't keep this secret any longer . it 's killing me . bo : we 'll make this as easy on him as we can , balsom . rex : you do what you have to do . bo : why do n't you tell me about the gun ? shane : it 's the same one i had the night of jack 's dad 's murder . bo : so you 've used this gun before ? shane : i knew he kept it in the safe . so i - i took it , and i swiped a car , and i went over to jack 's house . bo : why did you take the gun ? shane : i wanted to make jack and his dad pay for what they did . jack : damn it ! shane : when i got to the house , jack was about to go in . and before i knew it , i hit him over the head with the gun . one second he was standing there , and ... the next , he was on the ground . bo : whoa , hold on . hold on . you were the one that hit jack ? shane : yeah . bo : all right . what happened -- what happened next ? shane : i was standing above jack with the gun . it was like i was n't even there a - and i was just watching . like it was happening to someone else , not me . a - and then all of a sudden , i was , a - and i was there , and i - i could n't do it . i wanted to make things right for mom . i wanted to take jack away like he did to her , but ... i could n't . rex : you did the right thing , shane . your mom would be proud . bo : what happened then , shane ? [ scene_break ] shaun : i never had an employer hire or fire me so many times . i even worked for dorian lord . vimal : wait , did you say that a 9 mm handgun was used to shoot victor lord ? shaun : yeah . that 's what the paper said . why ? vimal : oh , my god . it 's true . brody : be quiet . vimal : you shot victor lord . brody : keep your voice down . vimal : are you gon na kill me , too ? you were a navy seal . you can make me disappear . i wo n't let you . brody : vimal , shut up ! vimal : is n't a 9 mm standard issue for officers of the lpd ? shaun : yeah . they all carry -- wait a minute . what are you saying ? that a cop killed victor lord ? [ scene_break ] brody : can i get you anything ? water ? soda ? jack : i just want to go home . brody : soon . as soon as the commissioner says it 's okay . jack : i 'm gon na have your badges , you know that ? brody : excuse me ? jack : if you let shane get away with what he did to me -- brody : the way you got away with killing gigi ? jack : you 're not getting justice for me or my dad . it 's like he always said , you guys are all the same . you 're all corrupt .

[ scene_break ] blair : you really think rex killed victor ? téa : i think he 's a viable suspect , and i let the commissioner know as much . blair : oh , well , that must have been special . we all know how much bo loves it when people tell him how to do his job . what 'd he say ? téa : he was his usual evasive self . but i lit a fire under him , and i 'm going to fan the flames until he follows up . blair : well , i hope you know that bo thinks of rex as a son . you know that , right ? téa : and i intend to draw attention to that relationship should the commissioner fail to adequately investigate . blair : hmm . well , you know what ? it makes sense . rex would have access to weapons over at asa 's , and you remember how he looked at us when we went over there to pay our respects to -- for gigi . téa : i certainly do . blair : oh , gosh . so , jack is responsible for gigi 's death . victor wants to cover it up . so rex would have a motive . yeah , it would make sense that rex would -- would kill victor . téa : are you saying my husband got what he deserved ? blair : no , i 'm just -- i 'm agreeing with you on this . rex lost the woman that he loved . i mean , if that does n't make you crazy with hate , i do n't know what does .

[ scene_break ] rama : i thought cutter and his sister had n't seen each other in ages . now they 're partners ? aubrey : i do n't know . i 'm really just guessing . but they 've conspired together before . and now that i 'm out of the picture and cutter 's back to his old ways , he 's gon na need a new partner in crime . rama : and no - longer - hideous kim is probably it . aubrey : well , if you have a bone to pick with her , you 're gon na have to ask cutter where she is , assuming he 'd give up his sister . rama : i 'm not going anywhere , cutter , not if you want me to keep your dirty little secret . [ scoffs ] do n't worry . i have ways of making him talk . [ scene_break ] bo : shane , you can tell me . now , did you shoot victor ? shane : no . bo : all right . what happened after you , uh , knocked jack out ? shane : i got really worried . he was n't waking up . i dragged him to the car , drove him to the hospital , and just left him out front . he killed my mom , and ... i saved his life . rex : and i could n't be prouder . bo : what happened when you left the hospital ? shane : i went straight home , put the gun in the safe , and then went to bed . rex : [ sighs ] look , bo , it 's late . we 've had a long day . you mind if i just took shane home now ? bo : well , i 'm sorry , balsom . not yet . no , not -- echo told you that that gun had already been fired . rex : yeah , i know , but -- bo : shane , are you sure that you did not fire that weapon ?

[ scene_break ] rama : aubrey , i 'm sorry cutter hurt you again . but i promise you this -- i will get him and that rodent - faced sister of his back in spades . aubrey : what did you have in mind ? rama : oh , you 'll find out . [ scene_break ] cutter : half ? kim : you heard me . cutter : you 're in no position to demand anything . kim : the way i see it , stacy and i go to jail , you get nothing , clint gets his money back , and ... cutter : and what ? you get to live at his house under house arrest ? kim : i need the money to take care of stacy ! it 's not like i can trust you to do it , right ? so that 's the deal . take it or leave it . cutter : fine . agreed . kim : just one more thing . cutter : what ? ! kim : it 's not like this document gives you anything . it all goes to clint . how are you even gon na -- cutter : let me handle that . kim : you 're a real son of a bitch , you know that ? cutter : you know what ? i 'm a brother of one , too . mwah !

[ scene_break ] jessica : [ sighs ] i know . i know . i should have told john , but i could n't have . i just could n't do that to brody .

[ scene_break ] bo : shane , i need to know how the gun from your dad 's safe ended up being fired . shane : i used it once before i went over to jack 's house . i had never fired that gun before , so i took a practice shot at the fence in our back yard . you believe me , do n't you ? [ knock on door ] bo : yeah ? come in . what is it ? natalie : okay . i tested a slug from the gun and i compared it against the slug we pulled out of victor . they 're not a match , which means ... this gun was not used to kill victor lord . john : so i guess that rules out shane as a suspect . jack : i always said it was scarface . bo : yeah , but that was n't the truth , was it , jack ? 'cause shane just told me he was the one that hit you , not todd . in other words , you lied . right ? jack : it does n't mean scarface did n't do it . john : does n't mean he did it , either . bo : get him out of here . brody , take jack home . [ scene_break ] shaun : i know how the boss felt about the lpd . i think you 're maybe taking this a little bit too much to heart . vimal : you think so ? shaun : commissioner buchanan is good people . and his troops are true blue . not one of them could have iced victor . so i 'm telling you , vimal , whoever did this did n't wear a badge . vimal : i hope you 're right . [ scene_break ] john : so , we do n't have any real evidence against manning for victor 's murder .Summarize.[/INST]at victor 's gravesite , shane holds a gun on jack and demands that he admits that he and his friend killed gigi and that victor let his son get away with it . jack does not admit that . but bo and rex find them and rex persuades his son to put the gun down and not shoot jack . and , they find out , for the first time , that it was shane who knocked jack out and then took him to the hospital so jack 's story that he saw and heard todd kill victor is proven false . yet the cops still do not know who killed victor . todd is still a suspect with motive . tea and blair are hiding him at the cabin . rama goes to find cutter and tells him she knows his sister who stole from her to pay for the plastic surgery is not far away . kim is alone in the hospital room with unconscious stacy who appears to have had plastic surgery to look just like gigi , with the hopes of making rex love her .</s> | 1,401 |

( laughter ) i just want marina to be able to carry the baby and deliver the baby . mel : even if it 's not ... mallet : well , it would be mine . i would walk the halls with him at 2 : 00 a.m. to get him to fall back to sleep again , and teach him to throw a football and ride a bike and get the girl . i mean , you do n't be a complete gentleman around girls . mel : right . you know , marina is really lucky to have you . mallet : thank you . i 'm really lucky to have her . i 'm the lucky one . i do n't want marina to miss out on the most amazing experience you can have in your life just because she picked me . mel : well , i think a donor is the best bet then . mallet : right . well , then , i need you to put on your lawyer hat and fast forward . mel : i know what you 're going to ask me . what if the kid grows up and wants to know his or her birth father ? mallet : yeah , exactly . or worse . what if we raise him and love him , and he grows up and he wants to live with his biological father . you know , that would break marina 's heart . mel : just marina 's ? mallet : and it would break my heart , too . so what can we do ? can we protect ourselves ? are there any guarantees that that wo n't happen ? mel : you ca n't do that . [ scene_break ] dinah : you know , thank you for listening , but i know that you 're not going to help me ... jeffrey : dinah ! dinah ... i 'll do it . dinah : really ? just like that ? i do n't have to sell you ? jeffrey : well , not that i would n't have found your efforts entertaining , but ... there 's another issue that i 'm concerned with here . you know , after a lifetime of putting myself first , i finally realize that there is something more important than me . and that would be my wife and the baby that she 's carrying . dinah : so you 'll make a few calls ? jeffrey : if this girl can help shayne to solve his problems , that 's going to be one less thing for reva to worry about , and that 's all that matters to me . [ scene_break ] shayne : what the hell are you doing here ? reva : i was littering , right underneath the `` do not litter `` sign . and i should probably warn you , officer diaz has absolutely no sense of humor . shayne : you got arrested for littering ? reva : yeah , well , i might have kicked the officer in the shins a couple of times when he was giving me my summons . shayne : yeah , that 's what i thought . so marina sold me out . you did this on purpose . reva : hey , it worked , did n't it ! you honestly think i 'm going to let you stay in here all alone ? shayne : is that supposed to be funny ? you 're in the middle of a high - risk pregnancy , mom . reva : look , shayne , if the chemo is n't hurting the baby , then neither will a stay in a jail cell . besides , you 'll always be my baby . and if you 're in trouble , i will be here . so you 're just going to have to deal with it ! shayne : look , i deserve to be here . all right ? you do n't . reva : no , no ! you 're in here , because you were trying to help a girl who was being accosted in the park . shayne : no . i 'm in here , because i assaulted a man who is pressing charges , and i do n't need my mommy baby - sitting me while i 'm in jail . reva : okay . if you do n't like it , then post bail and leave ! otherwise , you 're just stuck with me . shayne : what kind of weird parenting trip is this ? like , quality time in the clink ? what is next for us ? matching mom and son shanks ? reva : actually , we could talk . because every time i try , you run away as fast as those wheels will take you . at least in here , you ca n't get very far ! shayne : because i do not need to talk ! reva : really ? you could have fooled me ! officer : you two have company . shayne : this is good . ah , this is good . yeah , it 's good . hi , dad . [ scene_break ] beth : ca n't you just put your pride aside and do what 's best for us ? coop : for alan ? what you mean is what 's best for alan . beth : just because i 'm not leaving alan , does n't mean that i do n't care about you . i 'm not putting you second . i 'm not . coop : that 's funny . because right now , beth , it certainly feels like you are . you get to stay a lawyer , you get to have all of the power and privilege of still being a spaulding , and when you feel guilty , you can run back here , where you can ask alan for a fistful of green . beth : you 're father needed that money . i did that for you . i ... i ... that was not to soothe my conscience . it was n't . i do n't feel guilty about this . coop : well , maybe that is worse . beth : i am doing this to protect you because i care , coop . do you have any idea what alan would do if he found out ? coop : do n't you get it ? i want alan to find out . i need alan to find out ! beth : that is not ... coop : and i do n't need you coming back in here , crawling into my bed , just to thank me for getting you some points at law school . if you want to do me a favor , why do n't you just send me a thank you card instead .

[ scene_break ] mel : you know , i wish i could give you an easy answer , but there is no guarantee on how a kid will turn out , or who your kid will be . mallet : all right . so it 's just kind of a roll of the genetic dice ? mel : yeah . you can get an einstein or a mozart or not . you know , but is n't that the fun of having kids ? the great unknown ? the hope ? the surprise ? mallet : right . so even if a kid has your chromosomes , he can still decide to grow up and hate your guts . mel : pretty much . so if this is at all too risky for you , i think you should stop shopping for those minivans right now . mallet : uh - huh . is this the doctor talking or the lawyer ? mel : it 's neither . it 's a mother . because , um ... having kids changes everything .

they love each other . it is the real thing . adrienne : no , i 'm sure it is , but will 's a liar , just like his mother . jennifer : [ scoffs ] adrienne : jen , i 'm sorry . i know he 's your nephew , i know you love him , but he did lie to my son about being the baby 's father , and that led to that whole wedding disaster . jennifer : right , but will was confused . he 's a kid , adrienne . adrienne : yeah , he 's sami 's kid , jen ! and then that whole mess with nick and gabi and will ... jennifer : okay , i do understand that . adrienne : and my son gets pulled into the middle of it , almost gets killed out on smith island . jennifer : no , my understanding of that whole -- adrienne : and then sami shoots a police detective in cold blood . jennifer : to save rafe 's life , adrienne ! adrienne : so she says . jennifer : are you kidding me ? what other reason would she have for shooting him ? chad : oh , come on , abigail . promise me you wo n't tell anyone about this video . will : okay . lucas : i just got back from chicago . any other news about your mother ? they find the weapon yet ? will : no . lucas : any other evidence against her surface ? will : what evidence ? she was trying to protect rafe . that 's the end of the story . lucas : because the guy had a razor . will : mm - hmm . lucas : yeah , she shoots first and asks questions later , does n't she ? well , i guess she would n't have done it unless she had a perfectly good reason for it , right ? sonny : of course not . will : mm - hmm . lucas : problem is , once the real story comes out , everybody 's going to know why she did it . will : what do you mean , `` the real story `` ? dr. chyka : please , ms . dimera , i want so badly for you to understand that the slight variation in the chemical properties of the drug that i gave you would not make it impotent . it would still be extremely effective . your patient will remember nothing . kristen : that 's incredibly reassuring , except for the fact that you were skeptical ... yesterday ! yesterday , dr. chyka . dr. chyka : yes , i was , but having slept on it , i realize that my skepticism was not based in science , but rather my congenital tendency toward hyper- cautiousness . kristen : and how do you feel about speaking english , doctor ? dr. chyka : um , in the light of day , ms . dimera , i can assure you that your patient will be forever oblivious to what transpired between you and him . i would stake my reputation on it . kristen : would you ? my mind is at ease now . my spirits have been buoyed because you are so fantastic , and i am grateful from the bottom of my heart . but if , by chance , the patient does remember that he was drugged and then seduced , it 's gon na be a hell of a lot more than just your reputation at stake . are we clear ? daniel : it 's okay , you 're fine , you 're gon na be fine -- yes . eric : no . i should n't be here . daniel : hang on , try -- eric : i should be at the capitol . daniel : try to stay calm . eric : i have a meeting . i have a meeting with the legislative committee . daniel : no . eric : they do n't know what 's going on with the school project . daniel : okay , listen to me . eric : i have a meeting in an hour ! daniel : no , no , you do not have a meeting . no , no , no , look at me . you have no meeting . the meeting has been postponed . nicole called , okay ? she called . yeah , we both talked to the legislative assistant . they understand that you have suddenly taken ill . eric : but i 'm better now . daniel : no , no , you 're not . you are not . we do n't even know what caused this , okay ? listen , let 's just talk about it . let 's talk about that , okay ? there you go . that 's it , stay calm . let 's talk about that . [ exhales ] there you go . what happened last night ? there you go . all right . what are you feeling now ? are you remembering what happened ? eric : no . something ... was ... was wrong . something went very wrong . kristen : it went very well . actually , the video quality was excellent , and once it 's edited , it should work beautifully . that is , of course , unless he remembers something . dr. chyka : i seriously doubt that will happen . kristen : oh . oh , well , your doubts are very comforting . no , i 'm going to have to do something ... if he remembers , that is . dr. chyka : are you perhaps thinking of leaving ? nicole : brady , last night was so -- it was so scary . i mean , seeing him in that bed , and shaking and shivering , and his eyes were all glassy , and i just thought that maybe i was going to lose him forever , you know , and not be able to be around or hug him or see him again , and -- i - i mean , the whole parish would feel that way , you know , because he 's really special to the whole congregation . brady : yeah . he is , he is , he is , he is . nicole : and i 'm sorry . i 'm sorry i 'm crying , i 've just been up all night , so you can just ignore me . brady : it 's okay , i know that about you , it 's okay . nicole : like daniel said , he 's -- he 's -- he 's coming along nicely , so -- brady : yeah , and we 're probably gon na get to see him soon . nicole : mm - hmm . you know , if eric comes out of this okay ... maybe -- maybe we could still go on that trip we planned . brady : [ sighs ] nicole , i think we both know that we ca n't do that . not today . maybe not ever . lucas : i meant the real truth about sami trying to protect rafe . why ? is there another truth now ? both : no . sonny : no , that 's it . will : yeah , sami says there was a razor , then there was a razor . lucas : all right . what 's going on here ? you guys are on your own ? where 's the baby 's mother ? will : oh , gabi had to make up an exam she missed when she was in the hospital . lucas : and how are you feeding this baby ? sonny : gabi has expressed milk in -- will : the milk . sonny : yeah , in the fridge , and they 're all loaded , ready to go . we got the burp cloths , the wipes , we have diapers . so i mean , we 're good to go . lucas : good to go , huh ? sonny : good to go . will : yeah . lucas : well , i 'm better , so why do n't you go somewhere else and let me do this ? you guys take a break . i 'm , like , the baby master . will : are you serious ? sonny : really ? lucas : definitely , come on . go for it , enjoy yourself . do what you got ta do . i got this covered , seriously . will : yeah ! thanks , dad ! lucas : yeah , well , do n't leave me totally alone , you know , leave your phone on , or something . will : okay , deal . lucas : all right ? will : deal . [ chuckles ] lucas : enjoy . i know that i will . oh , look at you . well , you 've got sami 's nose , do n't you ? let 's just hope you do n't have her flair for finding trouble too . adrienne : sonny needs to get away while he still can . jennifer : but he loves will , and he is his own man , and you need to stop worrying . adrienne : oh , jennifer . [ chuckles ] would n't you worry if jj or abigail were getting involved with somebody who was nothing but trouble ? seriously . jennifer : adrienne , i just -- abigail : hi , hi there . i did n't know we had visitors . [ overlapping greetings ] adrienne : mm , morning , sweetie . abigail : morning . jennifer : hi , dolly . you slept in very late . abigail : oh , actually , i 've been up for a while . i just have a lot to think about . cameron : well , you 're finally being honest . this must be an odd feeling for you . chad : [ sighs ] i want to be open with what 's going on . cameron : what , as opposed to your lying ? chad : it was n't -- look , i 'm trying to be fair , okay ? i gave you two some space last night , okay ? you and abigail needed to talk , so i stepped outside and let you do it , and i made sure not to come back until you left . and when i did , she was upset . cameron : and you moved in to take advantage . chad : oh , come on . you know i ca n't play her . she can think for herself , cameron . she 's tougher than you think . she 's an amazing woman . cameron : hmm . you know , it 's not like you gave a damn until she told you she did n't want anything to do with you . but there 's nothing like a good challenge , right ? chad : well , it 's not what you think . cameron : really ? chad : look , we 've become closer over the last couple months , as friends , okay ? cameron : [ scoffs ] chad : we 've gotten to know each other better by doing stuff and hanging out . cameron : you know what ? save me the sales pitch . i 'm outta here . you got that . chad : whoa . wait , cam -- hold on , just wait . just hold on , okay ? [ sighs ] the last thing i want to do is make things a mess for abigail or see her hurt , even if that means she chooses you over me . and to be fair , last night , after you left , nothing happened between us . brady : i 'm going to say something to you , and it does not mean i 'm judging you , okay ? nicole : i know , that 's not our deal . brady : i know that 's not our deal , but seeing how you reacted to eric being sick , i think that you 're in this a lot deeper than you 're willing to admit . nicole : i just -- i hated seeing him hurt . brady : i know , i know , but here 's the deal : we 're friends . nicole : best friends . brady : mm - hmm , and this ... rebound thing that we 're doing , i think we should put it on hold , nicole , because breaking up with -- getting over someone is -- is -- nicole : complicated . brady : it 's -- yeah , it 's a lot more complicated than just falling into bed with someone else ... even when that person is -- is the best . nicole : brady ? brady : yeah ? nicole : i know you were talking about eric and me , but you 're talking about you and kristen now , are n't you ? kristen : am i thinking about leaving salem ? no , that 's not really my style . i tend to stay put , you know ? i win , no matter what . you got that ? no matter what . now go . dr. chyka : of course . kristen : oh , and doctor , do n't delude yourself into thinking that you can run to some far , obscure corner of the universe where my father and i ca n't find you . stay close . daniel : well , you 're right , something did go wrong . you not only got violently ill , you did it at an alarming rate . eric : do you know why ? daniel : i did a simple tox screen first off , found nothing . the second round was more sophisticated . i 'm looking for some kind of ... poison ? eric : poison ? i did n't -- i did n't eat anything . i did n't drink anything . daniel : nothing at all ? not even a bottle of water ? eric : no . daniel : well , did you touch anything that just seemed strange ? maybe a smell ? something that could 've come through the air vent , anything ? eric : frankly , i ca n't recall much of anything . daniel : okay . okay , why do n't we just go back to when you came into the hotel . can you walk me through that ? eric : well , when i -- when i checked in , i said that i did n't want to be disturbed . my phone , it was n't working in the room , so i went down to the lobby to use the office phone . there was a woman who was checking in . something was bothering her . i took a shower ... then when i - i came into the room -- daniel : okay , what happened then ? do you remember what happened ? adrienne : is something wrong ? jennifer : uh , actually , abigail and i were talking last night and we -- abigail : oh , never mind . you know what ? i am starving , so i am going to get some breakfast . can i get you anything , aunt adrienne ? adrienne : no , thank you , sweetie , i 'm good . abigail : okay , mom ? jennifer : no , i 'm good . adrienne : god , jennifer , she is so sweet . jennifer : [ chuckles ] adrienne : hey , i heard she 's dating cameron davis . must make mama bear pretty proud . jennifer : yeah , yeah . cameron is -- he 's very nice . adrienne : `` nice `` ? wow . [ chuckles ] he 's a doctor . she could do worse . cameron : chad , i 'm supposed to believe -- what , that you 're telling me all these things because you 're on my side ? chad : no , but i do n't want us to be enemies either . i 'm just -- i 'm going for full disclosure here , okay ? i ca n't help how i feel about abigail , and you know damn well i 'm not crazy for wanting to be with her , 'cause you feel the same way . theo : i won ! i won ! chad : you did ? theo : yeah ! chad : you did ? let me see . wow ! yeah , actually , i 'll say so . that 's better than your uncle chad . theo : yeah . chad : huh ? theo : can you come to the park and play ? chad : you know , i wish i could , big guy , but i got ta get back to work , but you know what ? i 'll try and stop by later with some oil for that glove . how does that sound ? theo : good . chad : yeah ? cool , give me a hug . ahh . kristen : so you 're positive ? father eric left the hotel and he was taken to university hospital ? thank you so much . we parishioners were so worried about our father . thank you , bye - bye . idiot . that 's really sweet . brady : i try . kristen : it 's a key ring . it 's engraved . `` forever begins today . love , brady . `` brady : all right , i admit it . look , i 've been thinking about her -- kristen -- a lot lately . yesterday , i called her . nicole : what ? brady : rela -- it 's okay , it 's okay , i hung up the phone immediately . i - i -- when i heard her voice , i knew it was a mistake . i woke up . i realized that the only way i 'm gon na get this woman out of my system is to have zero contact . none . nicole : yeah , brady , you have to be strong . brady : thing is , i 'm gon na need my -- my friend to help me out sometimes . nicole : she 'll be there . brady : this whole idea of us going away together , it -- i would just be running away from what i need to face . kristen : [ sighs ] nicole : you 're right , running away from your problems does n't really solve anything . brady : mm - mmm . nicole : i have to face my demons right here , same as you . brady : yes , you do . nicole : [ chuckles ] it 's kind of weird calling them demons , 'cause the man i have feelings for is so dedicated to god . brady : yeah . nicole : but this -- this `` friends with benefits `` thing that we 're doing -- brady : we should -- we should probably make it just friends , right ? nicole : right . friends . daniel : anything that might help , a taste in your mouth , skin tingling . eric : the next thing i remember after taking a shower was waking up in bed . i was shivering , aching , miserable . nicole was there , and how she knew that i needed her is beyond me . daniel : well , i 'd say you 're ... blessed that she showed up . listen , i 'm going to go check on those test results , and then i 'm gon na go talk to marlena and roman , 'cause they 've been here all night long . eric : no , no , they should n't -- daniel : no , my friend -- hey , my friend , listen , there have been a lot of people saying a lot of prayers last night . they 're gon na be glad to hear some good news . so you just try to get some rest , and maybe some of these memories will come back . okay ? come on , let 's rest . jennifer : oh , hey , sweetie . abigail : hey . jennifer : listen , about last night , i just -- abigail : wait , mom , can we not talk about it , actually ? it 's not because i 'm angry or anything , i just -- i 'd really like you to try to understand that i 'm going to make my own decisions about who i want to date , and even if that means i 'm gon na make some mistakes . jennifer : no , i know , i know , and i 'm going to try to not be judgmental . abigail : you 'll try ? jennifer : i 'm going to try . abigail : okay . jennifer : i 'm still your mother , but i 'm going to try . abigail : [ chuckles ] jennifer : i love you , baby . abigail : i love you too , mom .

nicole : i - i - i do n't know . i do n't understand , not any of it . dr. chyka : as i said last night , ms . dimera , i deeply apologize that the solution i gave you was not as pure as i 'd hoped . kristen : dr. chyka ... the solution that you sold me did n't come with hope , it came with a guarantee that whomever received the drug would n't remember anything that happened to him while under the influence , and yet , here you sit , weaseling , sniveling , groveling , begging for forgiveness , and yet , the fact remains that even as we speak , the patient could be remembering everything that happened to him . daniel : father eric ? father , it 's dr. jonas . do you know where you are ? father , do you remember what happened last night ? eric : yeah . i remember . nicole : brady , he was -- he was delirious . i mean , i saw him in that hotel bed , and he was shaking like crazy , and his eyes , they were -- brady , he was fine before he went to the capitol , and a few hours later , he 's a total wreck . brady : all right , all right , take it easy . we 'll figure this thing out , just drink . nicole : how are we gon na figure it out ?

well , i guess she would n't have done it unless she had a perfectly good reason for it , right ? sonny : of course not . will : mm - hmm . lucas : problem is , once the real story comes out , everybody 's going to know why she did it . will : what do you mean , `` the real story `` ? dr. chyka : please , ms . dimera , i want so badly for you to understand that the slight variation in the chemical properties of the drug that i gave you would not make it impotent . it would still be extremely effective . your patient will remember nothing . kristen : that 's incredibly reassuring , except for the fact that you were skeptical ... yesterday ! yesterday , dr. chyka . dr. chyka : yes , i was , but having slept on it , i realize that my skepticism was not based in science , but rather my congenital tendency toward hyper- cautiousness . kristen : and how do you feel about speaking english , doctor ? dr. chyka : um , in the light of day , ms . dimera , i can assure you that your patient will be forever oblivious to what transpired between you and him . i would stake my reputation on it . kristen : would you ? my mind is at ease now . my spirits have been buoyed because you are so fantastic , and i am grateful from the bottom of my heart . but if , by chance , the patient does remember that he was drugged and then seduced , it 's gon na be a hell of a lot more than just your reputation at stake . are we clear ?

[ scene_break ] elizabeth : do n't you have your phone with you ? jason : i do . look , i 'm sorry . i wanted to know who called you . elizabeth : why ? jason : because it upset you , and i wanted to know why . hayden : do n't worry , i wo n't take up too much of your time . elizabeth : what can i do for you ? hayden : i was hoping you could tell me why i broke that vase . jason : i was seeing if i had to , you know , go straighten somebody out . elizabeth : i told you it was just someone from the hospital . jason : i know you did . i 'm -- i 'm sorry . okay ? patrick : hey . sam : hey ! look who 's here . elizabeth : what are you guys doing here ? patrick : we are just getting a little takeout to take home to the kids . anna is watching them , and then we 're going out to celebrate after . jason : nice . what 's the occasion ? sam : patrick and i are engaged . [ scene_break ] carly : hey , stranger . sonny : what happened ? carly : you had a really serious surgery , but you 're doing really well . and i 'm right here with you , and i 'm not going anywhere . sonny : you better not . carly : [ chuckles ] [ scene_break ] elizabeth : this is amazing ! patrick : thank you . elizabeth : congratulations ! patrick : thank you . jason : very happy for you guys . patrick : thank you . sam : yeah , we thought about keeping the news quiet , but -- we do n't want to step on your engagement or your wedding . we 're just so excited . patrick : yeah , we 've already talked . we 're gon na wait till after the holidays , so , you know , we wo n't compete . elizabeth : please , the sooner we 're all married , the better . [ cell phone rings ] patrick : excuse me for a second . let me take this . sam : of course , yeah . [ cell phone rings ] elizabeth : oh , yeah , let me take this , too . excuse me , guys . sam : um ... i wanted to thank you . jason : i did n't do anything . sam : yeah , you did . i walked into the garden of the noodle buddha struggling to let go of jason , and because of your talk and standing in for a slightly confusing renewal ceremony of my vows , you -- i do n't know , i was able to move on with patrick because of you . thank you . jason : well , you know what ? if i had anything to do with that smile on your face , i 'm happy to have done it . patrick : ay - yi - yi . sam : what ? patrick : well , i got good news and bad news . good news is , sonny woke up , and he 's doing well . bad news is , i got to hold off on our celebration and get to the hospital . sam : oh , that 's fine . yeah , i 'll get dinner to the kids . patrick : okay . sam : yeah . elizabeth : hey , guys , that was epiphany . they 're short a nurse in the icu . jason : i 've got the kids . check on sonny . patrick : and i 'm going to the hospital , so do you just want to go together ? elizabeth : yeah , definitely . thanks . patrick : i 'll see you in a bit . sam : okay . jason : bye . sam : okay , who 's gon na say it ? jason : who 's gon na say what ? sam : i do n't know . that getting married to a nurse or doctor probably means a lifetime of interrupted special occasions . i guess it 's a small price to pay , huh ? jason : yeah . [ clears throat ] do you have a minute ? um , i need to ask a favor from you . sam : yeah , of course . what 's up ? jason : elizabeth got this phone call . [ scene_break ] hayden : why is it convenient that i do n't remember who jake is ? nikolas : mother , look . hayden was just in a coma . she 'd been shot , and now 's probably not -- laura : yes , i 'm aware of all of that . hayden : nothing about this experience is convenient . the memory loss is about more than just jake . it 's about my life , most of which i do n't remember . laura : i 'm sorry . you know , i guess i just was a little surprised that the two of you had gotten so close . hayden : well , nikolas has been very good to me . laura : mm . hayden : despite the fact that he does n't necessarily believe that i 've forgotten who jake is . laura : oh . is that true ? nikolas : i - i do n't recall ever having said that , no . laura : well , what did you say ? hayden : apparently , his grandmother told me , allegedly friend of the family , who jake really is , but she never told nikolas , her own flesh and blood . i 'd say that 's pretty convenient , do n't you ? [ scene_break ] franco : why all the hate ? nina : just to clarify , i do n't hate kiki . kiki : yes , you do . franco : why do you think she hates you ? kiki : because her husband had an affair with my mother , and i was the result , like it was my choice . nina : okay , can i say something now ? kiki : and , nina , i am really sorry that you were pregnant when you found out about the affair and that your mother put you in a coma and you lost the baby . that 's -- it 's really horrible , but not my fault . nina : i know . i know it 's not your fault . i realize that now . i 'm sorry things were a little hazy back then . i was in a coma for 20 years . sue me . not an excuse . just a statement of fact . that 's all . and i 'm sorry , kiki , that i caused you any pain . franco : okay , well , there you go . i mean , that , to me , feels like progress , right ? now , i 'm a big believer in art therapy , so why do n't we find the finger paints ? silas probably had some finger paints . kiki : oh , my god . i ca n't do this . nina : oh , no . do n't knock art therapy . it 's really , really great . it helps . that 's how franco and i bonded . kiki : then why do n't the two of you keep bonding over art and coffee ? lock up when you leave , okay ? and , franco , you really want to help me ? franco : yeah , i do . kiki : yeah , then find someone to buy this albatross . [ door slams ] nina : no . no , absolutely not . franco : please . oh , come on . what 's it gon na take to get you to buy kiki 's apartment ? [ scene_break ] ava : thanks for being here , julian . i want avery to have a family , and well , that 's you . julian : even though you kicked me out . ava : oh , i did not -- i -- it was your idea . you left . julian : i was just teasing . ava : [ laughs ] sorry . i 'm -- i 'm feeling a little defensive these days . julian : you think ? ava : so how do you like it living in a hotel ? julian : would you forget the hotel , ava ? you 've got your daughter avery back , and you 're still wound up tight enough to snap . so what 's going on , huh ? is there something you 're not telling me ? [ scene_break ] paul : suffice it to say my predecessors in the da 's office left me with quite a mess . as though scott baldwin was n't enough with his countless vendettas and conflicts of interest , ric lansing 's incompetence in the ava jerome case has left the office a laughingstock . tracy : how could he lose the recording where ava jerome confesses to murder , no less , of a woman i was actually quite fond of ? paul : well , to me , it 's unconscionable that ava jerome is free . tracy : yeah , and you did n't have to live with her . she was ensconced here for half a minute . she has the morals and compassion and warmth of a piranha . paul : why do n't you tell us how you really feel ? tracy : i am baffled that you listen to a word that comes out of that woman 's mouth . why would you believe anything she says about who shot sonny ? [ scene_break ] carly : we were getting married , and you were about to put the ring on my finger , and you had a seizure . sonny : sorry for scaring you . carly : patrick said that you had a blood clot from the original surgery , and it caused an embolism , and that 's why he had to operate a second time . sonny : that explains the headaches . carly : patrick also said that he could n't say how the embolism was gon na affect you , but you seem really good . sonny : where is avery ? can i see her ? [ scene_break ] nikolas : hayden and helena met before i was even in the picture . laura : have you spoken to helena about any of this ? nikolas : she 's not talking , of course . laura : i see . and now you 're in the dark just as much as everybody else about poor jake . hayden : mm - hmm . nikolas : mother , why do n't i have alfred get you settled ? we can discuss this later . laura : okay . [ telephone rings ] laura : would n't be helena , would it ? nikolas : no . it 's elq . i 'm sorry . i need to take this . now 's not a good time . elizabeth : really ? well , it was n't exactly the best time when hayden called and asked me why she broke your vase . nikolas : calm down , okay ? elizabeth : what was i supposed to tell her ? that she was threatening to tell jake who he really is ? and all of this happened on the day she got shot ? nikolas : all i 'm saying is that hayden 's getting curious . she was researching the incident this morning . elizabeth : do you think she knows you tried to have her killed ? [ scene_break ] hayden : i just have to say this . i 'm sorry . i did n't catch your name . laura : laura spencer . hayden : it 's nice to meet you , laura . there seems to be some tension between you and your son , and i just want to know -- is it because of me , or does it have something to do with jake ? [ scene_break ] sam : hey , thanks for waiting . jason : thank you for helping . did you get everything straightened out ? sam : yeah , i called anna and told her that kelly 's would be delivering dinner for the kids tonight . jason : great . i 'm hoping this is n't gon na take too long . i 'm getting a little creeped out here . sam : mm , it should n't with this . now , if elizabeth 's mystery phone call came from a landline , it should be a piece of cake to trace , but if it came from a cell , it might be a little bit trickier . you know what ? i 'll be able to do it . just give me the number . jason : uh , 716 - 555 - 0106 . yeah . sam : well , it 's a landline . jason : from where ? sam : no . wyndemere ? jason : wyndemere ? yeah . you 're telling me the phone call came from nikolas ' place ? [ scene_break ] franco : look , i know that this place might represent some , um ... unpleasant memories . nina : unpleasant ? really ? i walked in and i saw my ex - husband bleeding out with a knife in his back . franco : yeah , exactly . that sounds really unpleasant . nina : i loved him . i loved him . i mean , not like i love you , but i loved him . franco : i -- nina : okay , listen . okay . let me just say this . let me just say this , okay ? i could live with the memory of how i was here for months , lying to everybody that was an invalid , and , you know , crossing people off my revenge list . or the memory of me sitting in that chair seething with fury , and -- but , i mean , you 're asking me to live in a place where my ex - husband was murdered by my mother . are you kidding me ? franco : you make some excellent points . now , if i could just offer one counterpoint , which is that i think you 're forgetting that one really good thing happened that terrible , awful day . nina : what was that ? franco : well , when you told me that you did n't kill silas , i believed you totally , unconditionally , completely , immediately . nina : yes , you did . franco : i did . i tried to help you cover it up . i tried to make sure that you were not a suspect , and in that moment , that moment of a terrible , horrible awful day , you and i got back together , right ? nina : yeah , i guess . franco : so if you think about it , what happened here is not really so much about what happened to silas , but about what happened to us . i mean , does n't that erase some of the terrible memories ? nina : not even close . franco : okay , do n't you feel like you owe it to silas if you say that you loved the guy ? kiki was his little girl . we could be big people . we could be really good people . we should buy this apartment . [ chuckles ] nina : how are you so nice and sane and a good person ? franco : i do n't know that i am . if i am , i might have -- i might have started to be that way when i met you . nina : i 'll buy the apartment . franco : great ! that 's great . you 're not gon na regret this . nina : yeah , but without kiki . [ scene_break ] julian : i 'm worried . you know , running the business is a big job . there 's a lot of risks involved . ava : i can handle it . julian : i 'm sure you can , but you just got avery back . are you sure you have your priorities in order ? ava : i can do both . i can run the business and be mother to avery . julian : well , i 'm glad you 've got some time to spend with avery , bond with her . ava : thank you . [ kiki walks in ] [ scene_break ] paul : i received information about ava jerome 's knowledge of the shooter from a reliable source . tracy : okay , stop . you just said that you received information about knowledge , which means it 's already at least third - party gossip . paul : well , a lot information comes through the police department or the da 's office , through similar , legitimate sources of communication . tracy : that source is michael . paul : well , i can neither confirm nor deny -- tracy : okay . hypothetically speaking , let 's just say that michael went to a mob meeting . that concerns me even more . paul : well , you would think being raised by sonny corinthos that michael would feel right at home at a mob meeting . tracy : i never thought i 'd ever have a reason to wish that sonny corinthos kept breathing air . but if his demise means that michael 's gon na end up in his business , i wish him a long and healthy life . [ scene_break ] carly : you need to take it easy . avery is fine . sonny : no , she 's not . ava 's out there . she 's gon na take her . [ knock on door ] sonny : i 'm not gon na let her do that . you understand that , right ? patrick : sonny , how you feeling ? sonny : just worried about my daughter , doc . patrick : anxiety is a common side effect of anesthesia , so that could explain that . carly , if you do n't mind , i 'm just gon na run some tests . carly : oh , of course . i 'll be right outside . patrick : so are experiencing any nausea ? sonny : no . patrick : okay , well , your pupils are even and reactive -- that 's good . sonny : glad to hear it . patrick : go ahead and squeeze my hand . okay . give me the other one . sonny : [ groans ] patrick : okay . [ sighs ] sonny : so what do you think ? patrick : well , so far , so good . sonny : what 's next ? patrick : i 'm just gon na test your reflexes here . sonny : any time you 're ready , doc . [ scene_break ] laura : i am probably overreacting . uh , i think maybe i just was n't expecting to see nikolas ... hayden : kissing me ? was n't the ideal way for us to meet , i know . i 'm sorry . it 's very embarrassing . laura : so other than your memory loss , how are you feeling ? hayden : much better , thank you . nikolas has helped me recover , and so has your amazing grandson . laura : yeah , he 's one of a kind . hayden : uh , yeah , you can say that . [ both laugh ] hayden : we 've actually gotten really close . we , um , spend hours up here doing homework , or we fall asleep watching movies , and we do n't wake up until alfred finds us in the morning . laura : so you 're living here ? hayden : yes . [ scene_break ] nikolas : i do n't think hayden knows anything . she was only researching newspaper accounts , and they all assumed that jake was the target . elizabeth : yeah , but why is she fishing at all ? nikolas : because , elizabeth , she ca n't remember her life before the shooting , and she 's trying to get it back . it 's not that difficult to understand . elizabeth : assuming she 's telling the truth about this whole memory loss in the first place . nikolas : you never know with hayden , but to make matters worse , my mother 's here . elizabeth : wait , laura 's there ? sh - sh - she said -- she promised she 's not gon na tell anybody about jake . nikolas : as far as i know , she has n't . but i can tell you -- she did n't like finding hayden here . [ elizabeth 's flashback ] elizabeth : her name is hayden barnes . she was blackmailing nikolas , threatened to tell . she tried to make good on her threat , but moments before she told jason the truth , she got shot in the head . laura : are you saying ... ? elizabeth : i think nikolas was responsible . [ back to present ] elizabeth : nikolas , you have to do something . nikolas : what do you mean ? like , specific ? what ? elizabeth : i do n't know , just run interference . keep your mother from saying anything , and keep hayden too preoccupied to keep digging . nikolas : elizabeth , what is the matter with you ? you 're overreacting . elizabeth : nikolas , i was with jake when hayden called . nikolas : did you tell him who it was ? elizabeth : no , of course not . nikolas : then you do n't have anything to worry about . [ scene_break ] jason : more than likely , nikolas called elizabeth . sam : yeah , i mean , it 's possible . jason : [ chuckles ] then why was she so unsettled ? they 're close friends . sam : [ sighs ] i do n't know , but nikolas normally calls me from this number . jason : not that landline ? sam : not once . so i guess , what ? it 's possible that it 's not nikolas ? but it could n't be spencer . spencer would n't be able to rattle elizabeth like that . jason : that leaves hayden . [ scene_break ] carly : [ sighs ] elizabeth : hey . how you holding up ? carly : well , sonny 's awake . i mean , that 's a huge relief . elizabeth : yeah . carly : i 'm just waiting for patrick to tell us that sonny 's gon na make a full recovery . [ scene_break ] patrick : i guess it takes a little while for the anesthesia to wear off . we 'll run a complete battery of tests . sonny : how long 's that gon na take ? patrick : varies from case to case . sonny : stop dodging , doctor . i got things to take care of . i got things to do . how long 's it gon na be for me to get out of here ? [ scene_break ] paul : your concerns about michael , while founded , are no longer necessary . i 've promised to put an end to mob violence here in port charles , once and for all . tracy : great . now i get to worry about michael and you . paul : tracy , i 'll be fine . tracy : not as long as ava jerome is out there . from what i gleaned from michael , that woman is up to her neck is organized crime . [ scene_break ] julian : you , uh , you want me to go talk to her ? ava : no . just watch the baby , okay ? julian : gladly . hello , avery . ava : kiki ? kiki : [ sighs ] another . ava : kiki , please talk to me . [ scene_break ] franco : i care about kiki . and her father was just murdered , and her mother 's a poisonous bitch . nina : yeah , she is -- a poisonous bitch , for sure . i mean , i 'm gon na give that to kiki . her mother may be the only woman on the planet worse than mine . franco : and she 's got nowhere else to go , all right ? and you and i , we can -- we can celebrate our new beginning by moving in here , but should n't we take it one step further ? should n't we make kiki feel like she 's got some semblance of family ? nina : no . no . i mean , what about us ? you know ? what about our relationship ? i mean , we have n't , you know ... what about that ? franco : i 'm pretty sure we will . nina : how are we gon na do that with kiki around all that time ? [ scene_break ] ava : your little sister 's here . she 's right over there with your uncle . i know you must miss her . kiki : can i get another ? ava : kiki ... ca n't you put aside what i 've done ? just for tonight . please , come and join us ... and be a sister to avery . she 's your family . you 're hers . she needs you . [ scene_break ] hayden : do you have a problem with my living here ? laura : no . it 's just that -- i live here , too . hayden : do n't tell me out of the 50 bedrooms in this place , i ended up in yours ? laura : no , no , that 's not it at all . no . hayden : i - i see . you think i should find another place to stay . i mean , it 's okay . i was thinking , now that i 'm well on the road to recovery , it might be time for me to move on . laura : do you have somewhere else to go ? hayden : actually , no . laura : well , then , you should stay . hayden : are you sure ? laura : yes , absolutely . i do n't want to be the reason that you leave , and i 'm sure that nikolas has his reasons for wanting you to be here . hayden : are you sure you 're okay with this ? i mean , nikolas and i are n't -- laura : whatever you and nikolas are or are not is your business . hayden : thank you for being so gracious . [ door opens ] nikolas : everything all right ? hayden : your mother is as generous as you are . i think we 're all gon na get along fine . nikolas : oh . glad to hear that . hayden : i 'm gon na tell the chef to prepare a special dinner in honor of your mother . spencer 's gon na be so excited to see you . he talks about you nonstop , laura . [ door closes ] laura : nikolas ... what the hell is going on here ? [ scene_break ] jason : as far as i know , elizabeth has n't spoken to hayden since she woke up . sam : really ? not even while she was in the hospital ? jason : she has n't mentioned it . sam : okay , so why would hayden call her ? jason : i do n't know . i do n't know why elizabeth would lie about it , either . sam : i do n't understand why hayden would be putting pressure on elizabeth . jason : i do n't know . but i 'm gon na find out . [ scene_break ] patrick : elizabeth , can you administer five milligrams of diazepam for sonny , please ? elizabeth : right away . patrick : thank you . carly : that 's a sedative . why are you giving sonny a sedative ? patrick : i 'd like to talk to you both in the room , if you could join me , please . [ scene_break ] franco : i love you . nina : i love you , too . i know that for sure . do you want to tell me why you love me ? franco : absolutely . because you 're ferociously bright and you 're passionate , and you 're indescribably beautiful , and that 's a big deal coming from a guy as verbal as i am . nina : [ chuckles ] i love it when you say things like that . franco : well , i mean what i say to you . and in terms of us ... i look forward to it . and in terms of the timing , i 've just always felt that these things kind of have their own timing . nina : [ chuckles ] it 's just ... that much longer with , um , kiki hanging around . franco : she ca n't stay in this funk of hers forever . i 'm sure she 'll be up on her feet in no time at all . nina : oh , really ? you think so ? what ? [ chuckles ] franco : she 's got a dead dad , she 's estranged from her mother , and after all of the terrible things that you and i have done in this world to hurt people , this is a chance for us to do something good . i think we should do that . i think we should help kiki out . nina : i do n't know . franco : well , if it helps any , as an added bonus , it would make ava crazy . nina : oh , i thought you were trying to be noble . franco : i was . i did n't mean for there to be malice . it 's like accidental malice , like incidental malice . think of kiki as the child that we never had . we could be her family , and she could be ours . [ scene_break ] ava : i 'm sorry about what morgan and i did . that we hurt you . no daughter should ever have to experience that . i can only imagine how betrayed you must feel . how alone now that silas is gone . kiki : hey , can i get one more for the road and then i 'll settle up ? ava : morgan and i are over . you know that . and i 've got avery now . but you 're my little girl , too . you always will be . kiki : thanks . ava : [ sniffles ] kiki , i 've missed you . even if you ca n't forgive me , would you please just come over and say hello to avery and your uncle ? do n't you need your family ? kiki : my family ? ava : yes , we 're your family . kiki : neither you or uncle julian has called to check in on me or made any effort to see me in weeks . how is that family ? ava : that 's not fair . i was just giving you the space that you so clearly wanted . i 'm right here . kiki : oh , save it . you have n't tried to reach out to me once , okay ? but you 're right . i do need family . thing is , mom , you 're not it . singer : and my soul 's on fire my soul 's on fire my soul 's on fire [ scene_break ] paul : i 've been the da for all of five minutes . five and a half . so please , just give me a chance to prove myself . tracy : to whom ? to me ? paul : no . to dillon , mostly . but i would n't mind reversing the impression i gave when we were married . tracy : paul , you were who you were . you ca n't change that . paul : i - i 've changed , and i 'm different now , tracy . everything is different now . i swear to you . i 'm going to clean up port charles . tracy : i need you to succeed for michael . i do n't want him to end up in prison or with a bullet in his back . [ scene_break ] patrick : as a result of the embolism , you 're experiencing partial paralysis in your legs . sonny : is it permanent ? patrick : there 's no way to know at this stage , so we 're gon na run a complete battery of tests , and we 'll go from there . best case -- sonny : how long before i walk again ? patrick : i do n't know . [ scene_break ] paul : if you 'd like , i will have a little chat with michael . tracy : oh , please . do n't bother . he 's not gon na listen . look at how fast he shut me down . paul : well , if you recall , our son did everything he could to avoid me when i came back to town . now dillon and i are fine . tracy : [ scoffs ] fine . okay . talk to michael . just make sure that he stays away from sonny and especially ava jerome . paul : i will use all of my powers of persuasion . tracy : and do n't you get sucked in by ava jerome . not about sonny or carlos or julian -- none of it . the woman is a viper . she will lie to your face and then stab you in the heart for believing her . [ scene_break ] ava : yeah . do n't you worry , sweetheart . [ avery babbles ] ava : [ chuckles ] kiki will come around . and then i 'll have both my girls in my arms . where you belong . [ scene_break ] kiki : oh , let me guess . this is a trap . nina : no , that 's where you are wrong . please , come in . um , i just wanted to tell you that franco and i have reconsidered , and we 're gon na purchase this apartment . kiki : great . i 'll be out of your hair by morning . nina : no ! we want you to stay . kiki : um , he might , but you do n't . nina : nope , that 's where you 're wrong . that 's where you 're wrong . i - i want you to stay . i really do . i think that we need to talk , and we have a lot in common . for one , we 've been betrayed by people that we love , especially our mothers . right ? it 's hard to trust . i know . it 's really hard . but i mean , you have to let yourself believe . you -- you have to let yourself believe that wonderful things are gon na happen . because they are . i mean , i believed in franco , and my entire world changed , so ... kiki : you think if i just trust you and franco , that everything 's that 's bad is just gon na go away ? franco : well , probably not . but , hey , the next time you 're hurt or angry or humiliated , you wo n't be alone . nina and i will be here for you . and we may not be the family that you want , but ... maybe we could be the family that you got . kiki : [ crying ] [ scene_break ] nikolas : it 's actually quite simple , mother . i asked hayden to stay to make sure she does n't tell anyone what she knows . laura : that does n't explain why you were kissing her . nikolas : no , it does n't . hayden and i had something before , i 'll say . it seems to be heating up again . laura : so then you actually have feelings for her ? nikolas : look , i know -- i know it seems strange , given what she has done to jake , but -- laura : you mean jason . nikolas : whatever he 's calling himself these days . yes . i feel something for hayden . laura : nikolas ... how is that going to work ? how are you going to have a relationship with a woman you tried to have killed ? [ scene_break ] jason : hey . elizabeth : hey . jason : i need to ask you something . elizabeth : okay . what is it ? is something wrong ? jason : well , you tell me . why is hayden barnes calling you ?

[ scene_break ] kiki : i 've got nowhere to go all day , so i sleep . and i have no one to be with , because my family is all dead or dead to me . so , i 'm alone . franco : okay , i do n't know how many times i have to tell you this , but you 're not alone . you 'll never be alone in this world . hey , i have an idea . why do n't we let nina buy the place , and then we 'll all live here together ? nina : uh , n - no . kiki : oh . well , seems like nina does n't want me living with you guys . franco : no , no , no . that 's not true at all . no , come on . nina , tell kiki how much you want her to stay .

[ scene_break ] julian : so where do things stand with the other side of avery 's family ? ava : if you 're referring to the man who threatened to put a bullet in me the moment she was born , he 's in the hospital suffering from his own gunshot wound . julian : well , maybe we should just focus on the little family reunion here . avery 's my niece , and i certainly hope to spend a little more time with her than i 've been able to with kiki . hmm ? [ scene_break ] nina : listen . first of all , we 're not purchasing this death apartment . we 're definitely not doing that . and i 'm not sharing any humble abode with kiki that we may purchase in the future . kiki : thank you , nina . you just saved me the awkwardness of having to reject your offer . franco : n - n - nobody 's rejecting anything . this is a free - flowing and flexible negotiation . nina : i 'm not negotiating . i never expressed any interest in living with kiki , here or anywhere else . kiki : wow . i mean , we 're finally agreeing on something . i do n't want to live with nina anymore than she wants to live with me . nina : yay ! franco : why ca n't we all just get along ? both : because she hates me . [ scene_break ] nikolas : i was n't , uh , expecting you . laura : uh , yeah . i decided that it was time to come back for , uh , various reasons . surprise .

[ chuckles ] laura : hmm . that 's convenient . for everyone . [ scene_break ] elizabeth : do n't you have your phone with you ? jason : i do . look , i 'm sorry . i wanted to know who called you . elizabeth : why ? jason : because it upset you , and i wanted to know why . hayden : do n't worry , i wo n't take up too much of your time . elizabeth : what can i do for you ? hayden : i was hoping you could tell me why i broke that vase . jason : i was seeing if i had to , you know , go straighten somebody out . elizabeth : i told you it was just someone from the hospital . jason : i know you did . i 'm -- i 'm sorry . okay ? patrick : hey . sam : hey ! look who 's here . elizabeth : what are you guys doing here ? patrick : we are just getting a little takeout to take home to the kids . anna is watching them , and then we 're going out to celebrate after . jason : nice . what 's the occasion ? sam : patrick and i are engaged .

[ clears throat ] do you have a minute ? um , i need to ask a favor from you . sam : yeah , of course . what 's up ? jason : elizabeth got this phone call . [ scene_break ] hayden : why is it convenient that i do n't remember who jake is ? nikolas : mother , look . hayden was just in a coma . she 'd been shot , and now 's probably not -- laura : yes , i 'm aware of all of that . hayden : nothing about this experience is convenient . the memory loss is about more than just jake . it 's about my life , most of which i do n't remember . laura : i 'm sorry . you know , i guess i just was a little surprised that the two of you had gotten so close . hayden : well , nikolas has been very good to me . laura : mm . hayden : despite the fact that he does n't necessarily believe that i 've forgotten who jake is . laura : oh . is that true ? nikolas : i - i do n't recall ever having said that , no . laura : well , what did you say ? hayden : apparently , his grandmother told me , allegedly friend of the family , who jake really is , but she never told nikolas , her own flesh and blood . i 'd say that 's pretty convenient , do n't you ? [ scene_break ] franco : why all the hate ? nina : just to clarify , i do n't hate kiki . kiki : yes , you do . franco : why do you think she hates you ? kiki : because her husband had an affair with my mother , and i was the result , like it was my choice . nina : okay , can i say something now ? kiki : and , nina , i am really sorry that you were pregnant when you found out about the affair and that your mother put you in a coma and you lost the baby . that 's -- it 's really horrible , but not my fault . nina : i know . i know it 's not your fault . i realize that now . i 'm sorry things were a little hazy back then . i was in a coma for 20 years . sue me . not an excuse . just a statement of fact . that 's all . and i 'm sorry , kiki , that i caused you any pain . franco : okay , well , there you go . i mean , that , to me , feels like progress , right ? now , i 'm a big believer in art therapy , so why do n't we find the finger paints ? silas probably had some finger paints . kiki : oh , my god . i ca n't do this . nina : oh , no . do n't knock art therapy . it 's really , really great . it helps . that 's how franco and i bonded . kiki : then why do n't the two of you keep bonding over art and coffee ? lock up when you leave , okay ? and , franco , you really want to help me ? franco : yeah , i do . kiki : yeah , then find someone to buy this albatross . [ door slams ] nina : no . no , absolutely not . franco : please . oh , come on . what 's it gon na take to get you to buy kiki 's apartment ?

[ scene_break ] paul : suffice it to say my predecessors in the da 's office left me with quite a mess . as though scott baldwin was n't enough with his countless vendettas and conflicts of interest , ric lansing 's incompetence in the ava jerome case has left the office a laughingstock . tracy : how could he lose the recording where ava jerome confesses to murder , no less , of a woman i was actually quite fond of ? paul : well , to me , it 's unconscionable that ava jerome is free . tracy : yeah , and you did n't have to live with her . she was ensconced here for half a minute . she has the morals and compassion and warmth of a piranha . paul : why do n't you tell us how you really feel ? tracy : i am baffled that you listen to a word that comes out of that woman 's mouth . why would you believe anything she says about who shot sonny ? [ scene_break ] carly : we were getting married , and you were about to put the ring on my finger , and you had a seizure . sonny : sorry for scaring you . carly : patrick said that you had a blood clot from the original surgery , and it caused an embolism , and that 's why he had to operate a second time . sonny : that explains the headaches . carly : patrick also said that he could n't say how the embolism was gon na affect you , but you seem really good . sonny : where is avery ? can i see her ? [ scene_break ] nikolas : hayden and helena met before i was even in the picture . laura : have you spoken to helena about any of this ? nikolas : she 's not talking , of course . laura : i see . and now you 're in the dark just as much as everybody else about poor jake . hayden : mm - hmm . nikolas : mother , why do n't i have alfred get you settled ? we can discuss this later . laura : okay . [ telephone rings ] laura : would n't be helena , would it ? nikolas : no . it 's elq . i 'm sorry . i need to take this . now 's not a good time . elizabeth : really ? well , it was n't exactly the best time when hayden called and asked me why she broke your vase . nikolas : calm down , okay ? elizabeth : what was i supposed to tell her ? that she was threatening to tell jake who he really is ? and all of this happened on the day she got shot ? nikolas : all i 'm saying is that hayden 's getting curious . she was researching the incident this morning . elizabeth : do you think she knows you tried to have her killed ? [ scene_break ] hayden : i just have to say this . i 'm sorry . i did n't catch your name . laura : laura spencer . hayden : it 's nice to meet you , laura . there seems to be some tension between you and your son , and i just want to know -- is it because of me , or does it have something to do with jake ? [ scene_break ] sam : hey , thanks for waiting . jason : thank you for helping . did you get everything straightened out ? sam : yeah , i called anna and told her that kelly 's would be delivering dinner for the kids tonight . jason : great . i 'm hoping this is n't gon na take too long . i 'm getting a little creeped out here . sam : mm , it should n't with this . now , if elizabeth 's mystery phone call came from a landline , it should be a piece of cake to trace , but if it came from a cell , it might be a little bit trickier . you know what ? i 'll be able to do it . just give me the number . jason : uh , 716 - 555 - 0106 . yeah . sam : well , it 's a landline . jason : from where ? sam : no . wyndemere ? jason : wyndemere ? yeah . you 're telling me the phone call came from nikolas ' place ? [ scene_break ] franco : look , i know that this place might represent some , um ... unpleasant memories . nina : unpleasant ? really ? i walked in and i saw my ex - husband bleeding out with a knife in his back . franco : yeah , exactly . that sounds really unpleasant . nina : i loved him . i loved him . i mean , not like i love you , but i loved him . franco : i -- nina : okay , listen . okay . let me just say this . let me just say this , okay ? i could live with the memory of how i was here for months , lying to everybody that was an invalid , and , you know , crossing people off my revenge list . or the memory of me sitting in that chair seething with fury , and -- but , i mean , you 're asking me to live in a place where my ex - husband was murdered by my mother . are you kidding me ? franco : you make some excellent points . now , if i could just offer one counterpoint , which is that i think you 're forgetting that one really good thing happened that terrible , awful day . nina : what was that ? franco : well , when you told me that you did n't kill silas , i believed you totally , unconditionally , completely , immediately . nina : yes , you did . franco : i did . i tried to help you cover it up . i tried to make sure that you were not a suspect , and in that moment , that moment of a terrible , horrible awful day , you and i got back together , right ? nina : yeah , i guess . franco : so if you think about it , what happened here is not really so much about what happened to silas , but about what happened to us . i mean , does n't that erase some of the terrible memories ? nina : not even close . franco : okay , do n't you feel like you owe it to silas if you say that you loved the guy ? kiki was his little girl . we could be big people . we could be really good people . we should buy this apartment . [ chuckles ] nina : how are you so nice and sane and a good person ? franco : i do n't know that i am . if i am , i might have -- i might have started to be that way when i met you . nina : i 'll buy the apartment . franco : great ! that 's great . you 're not gon na regret this . nina : yeah , but without kiki . [ scene_break ] julian : i 'm worried . you know , running the business is a big job . there 's a lot of risks involved . ava : i can handle it . julian : i 'm sure you can , but you just got avery back . are you sure you have your priorities in order ? ava : i can do both . i can run the business and be mother to avery . julian : well , i 'm glad you 've got some time to spend with avery , bond with her . ava : thank you . [ kiki walks in ] [ scene_break ] paul : i received information about ava jerome 's knowledge of the shooter from a reliable source . tracy : okay , stop . you just said that you received information about knowledge , which means it 's already at least third - party gossip . paul : well , a lot information comes through the police department or the da 's office , through similar , legitimate sources of communication . tracy : that source is michael . paul : well , i can neither confirm nor deny -- tracy : okay . hypothetically speaking , let 's just say that michael went to a mob meeting . that concerns me even more . paul : well , you would think being raised by sonny corinthos that michael would feel right at home at a mob meeting . tracy : i never thought i 'd ever have a reason to wish that sonny corinthos kept breathing air . but if his demise means that michael 's gon na end up in his business , i wish him a long and healthy life . [ scene_break ] carly : you need to take it easy . avery is fine . sonny : no , she 's not . ava 's out there . she 's gon na take her . [ knock on door ] sonny : i 'm not gon na let her do that . you understand that , right ? patrick : sonny , how you feeling ? sonny : just worried about my daughter , doc . patrick : anxiety is a common side effect of anesthesia , so that could explain that . carly , if you do n't mind , i 'm just gon na run some tests . carly : oh , of course . i 'll be right outside . patrick : so are experiencing any nausea ? sonny : no . patrick : okay , well , your pupils are even and reactive -- that 's good . sonny : glad to hear it . patrick : go ahead and squeeze my hand . okay . give me the other one . sonny : [ groans ] patrick : okay . [ sighs ] sonny : so what do you think ? patrick : well , so far , so good . sonny : what 's next ? patrick : i 'm just gon na test your reflexes here . sonny : any time you 're ready , doc . [ scene_break ] laura : i am probably overreacting . uh , i think maybe i just was n't expecting to see nikolas ... hayden : kissing me ? was n't the ideal way for us to meet , i know . i 'm sorry . it 's very embarrassing . laura : so other than your memory loss , how are you feeling ? hayden : much better , thank you . nikolas has helped me recover , and so has your amazing grandson . laura : yeah , he 's one of a kind . hayden : uh , yeah , you can say that . [ both laugh ] hayden : we 've actually gotten really close . we , um , spend hours up here doing homework , or we fall asleep watching movies , and we do n't wake up until alfred finds us in the morning . laura : so you 're living here ? hayden : yes . [ scene_break ] nikolas : i do n't think hayden knows anything . she was only researching newspaper accounts , and they all assumed that jake was the target . elizabeth : yeah , but why is she fishing at all ? nikolas : because , elizabeth , she ca n't remember her life before the shooting , and she 's trying to get it back . it 's not that difficult to understand . elizabeth : assuming she 's telling the truth about this whole memory loss in the first place . nikolas : you never know with hayden , but to make matters worse , my mother 's here . elizabeth : wait , laura 's there ? sh - sh - she said -- she promised she 's not gon na tell anybody about jake . nikolas : as far as i know , she has n't . but i can tell you -- she did n't like finding hayden here . [ elizabeth 's flashback ] elizabeth : her name is hayden barnes . she was blackmailing nikolas , threatened to tell . she tried to make good on her threat , but moments before she told jason the truth , she got shot in the head . laura : are you saying ... ? elizabeth : i think nikolas was responsible . [ back to present ] elizabeth : nikolas , you have to do something . nikolas : what do you mean ? like , specific ? what ? elizabeth : i do n't know , just run interference . keep your mother from saying anything , and keep hayden too preoccupied to keep digging . nikolas : elizabeth , what is the matter with you ? you 're overreacting . elizabeth : nikolas , i was with jake when hayden called . nikolas : did you tell him who it was ? elizabeth : no , of course not . nikolas : then you do n't have anything to worry about . [ scene_break ] jason : more than likely , nikolas called elizabeth . sam : yeah , i mean , it 's possible . jason : [ chuckles ] then why was she so unsettled ? they 're close friends . sam : [ sighs ] i do n't know , but nikolas normally calls me from this number . jason : not that landline ? sam : not once . so i guess , what ? it 's possible that it 's not nikolas ? but it could n't be spencer . spencer would n't be able to rattle elizabeth like that . jason : that leaves hayden . [ scene_break ] carly : [ sighs ] elizabeth : hey . how you holding up ? carly : well , sonny 's awake . i mean , that 's a huge relief . elizabeth : yeah . carly : i 'm just waiting for patrick to tell us that sonny 's gon na make a full recovery . [ scene_break ] patrick : i guess it takes a little while for the anesthesia to wear off . we 'll run a complete battery of tests . sonny : how long 's that gon na take ? patrick : varies from case to case . sonny : stop dodging , doctor . i got things to take care of . i got things to do . how long 's it gon na be for me to get out of here ? [ scene_break ] paul : your concerns about michael , while founded , are no longer necessary . i 've promised to put an end to mob violence here in port charles , once and for all . tracy : great . now i get to worry about michael and you . paul : tracy , i 'll be fine . tracy : not as long as ava jerome is out there . from what i gleaned from michael , that woman is up to her neck is organized crime . [ scene_break ] julian : you , uh , you want me to go talk to her ? ava : no . just watch the baby , okay ? julian : gladly . hello , avery . ava : kiki ? kiki : [ sighs ] another . ava : kiki , please talk to me . [ scene_break ] franco : i care about kiki . and her father was just murdered , and her mother 's a poisonous bitch . nina : yeah , she is -- a poisonous bitch , for sure . i mean , i 'm gon na give that to kiki . her mother may be the only woman on the planet worse than mine . franco : and she 's got nowhere else to go , all right ? and you and i , we can -- we can celebrate our new beginning by moving in here , but should n't we take it one step further ? should n't we make kiki feel like she 's got some semblance of family ? nina : no . no . i mean , what about us ? you know ? what about our relationship ? i mean , we have n't , you know ... what about that ? franco : i 'm pretty sure we will . nina : how are we gon na do that with kiki around all that time ? [ scene_break ] ava : your little sister 's here . she 's right over there with your uncle . i know you must miss her . kiki : can i get another ? ava : kiki ... ca n't you put aside what i 've done ? just for tonight . please , come and join us ... and be a sister to avery . she 's your family . you 're hers . she needs you . [ scene_break ] hayden : do you have a problem with my living here ? laura : no . it 's just that -- i live here , too . hayden : do n't tell me out of the 50 bedrooms in this place , i ended up in yours ? laura : no , no , that 's not it at all . no . hayden : i - i see . you think i should find another place to stay . i mean , it 's okay . i was thinking , now that i 'm well on the road to recovery , it might be time for me to move on . laura : do you have somewhere else to go ? hayden : actually , no . laura : well , then , you should stay . hayden : are you sure ? laura : yes , absolutely . i do n't want to be the reason that you leave , and i 'm sure that nikolas has his reasons for wanting you to be here . hayden : are you sure you 're okay with this ? i mean , nikolas and i are n't -- laura : whatever you and nikolas are or are not is your business . hayden : thank you for being so gracious . [ door opens ] nikolas : everything all right ? hayden : your mother is as generous as you are . i think we 're all gon na get along fine . nikolas : oh . glad to hear that . hayden : i 'm gon na tell the chef to prepare a special dinner in honor of your mother . spencer 's gon na be so excited to see you . he talks about you nonstop , laura . [ door closes ] laura : nikolas ... what the hell is going on here ? [ scene_break ] jason : as far as i know , elizabeth has n't spoken to hayden since she woke up . sam : really ? not even while she was in the hospital ? jason : she has n't mentioned it . sam : okay , so why would hayden call her ? jason : i do n't know . i do n't know why elizabeth would lie about it , either . sam : i do n't understand why hayden would be putting pressure on elizabeth . jason : i do n't know . but i 'm gon na find out . [ scene_break ] patrick : elizabeth , can you administer five milligrams of diazepam for sonny , please ? elizabeth : right away . patrick : thank you . carly : that 's a sedative . why are you giving sonny a sedative ? patrick : i 'd like to talk to you both in the room , if you could join me , please .

marge : someone deposited a hundred thousand dollars into my son 's bank account . but it was n't my husband , i swear ! justin : that 's what you 'd like to believe , mrs. bernardi . but the fact is , everything your husband made legitimately has been accounted for . if joseph bernardi was n't accepting money , large sums of money , from an outside source , where did that hundred thousand dollars come from ?

marge : yes , i - i think . but ... justin : let me repeat the question . do you have any idea where your husband , detective joseph bernardi , could have gotten his hands on a hundred thousand dollars ? jennifer : i just kept telling him that there needed to be new ground rules , because he kept lying to me over and over again , and i could n't trust him anymore . abigail : so he just left ? jennifer : yeah , because he said he could n't live by my rules anymore . abigail : mom , what is he thinking ? where 's he gon na stay ? jennifer : honey , i do n't know . but i 'm sure he 'll come back here once he just cools off . and once he starts thinking rationally , he 's gon na see ... abigail : rationally ? mom , jj has n't been thinking rationally for a long time now . otherwise , he would n't have been dealing drugs . i mean , god , mom , what happens if he gets into something worse while he 's away ?

no comment ? jj : it 's not about hurting my mom , it 's just ... i need some space , you know ? hope : okay , fine . hey , as i said , nobody can force you to do anything you do n't want to do , right ? jj : i just need a little time to cool off . hope : okay . and where do you plan on , uh , `` cooling off , `` as you call it ? jj : actually , [ stammers ] i was thinking that maybe i can crash at your place with you and ciara . just for a couple of days . what do you think ? justin : your honor , can you instruct the witness again to answer my question ? marge : you 're trying to make it look like joe was a dirty cop , and he was n't . you know it . i know it . everybody who 's ever known him knows it ! he was a hero ! and those two over there have done nothing ... justin : your honor . judge sims : mrs. bernardi . marge : he 's a dimera ! he 's a dimera , and his father 's the biggest crook in town , and has been for years ! justin : objection . marge : it 's true ! everyone in this room knows that it 's true ! judge sims : mrs. bernardi . you will refrain from making outbursts in my court and answer mr. kiriakis 's question . or i will have no choice but to have you remanded to custody . justin : mrs. bernardi . do you know where the money in your son 's bank account came from ? marge : you ca n't do this . justin : [ forcefully ] i repeat , do you know where the money -- marge : no , i do n't know where the money came from ! but it was n't my husband 's ! he did not put it there . he was a cop , and he was clean . and i did n't just have a hundred thousand dollars lying around . justin : well , then how do you account for it ? marge : someone else must have put the money there . but it was n't joe . it was not joe . justin : who else had access to your account besides you , your husband , and your son . marge : [ whispering ] no one . justin : no one ? marge : no one ! but he is a dimera ! and they can get away with whatever they want ! somehow they got access to that account . justin : mrs. bernardi , i know you 'd like to believe that . marge : i do believe it , because it is the only explanation that makes any sense ! the doctor hoysyselin it . kayla : chad , you need to calm down and listen to me . cha no , you need to listen to me . cameron had no right discussing my illness with you , okay ? it 's a breach of doctor - patient confidentiality , and i may just have that bastard sued . kayla : you are completely overreacting . i was on duty the day that he got your ct scan results . i consulted on your case . i am his chief of staff . we do that every day , all day . chad : okay , okay . but there is no reason for you or cameron to consult about me anymore , okay ? i have a new doctor now . kayla : yes , i know . and i know that you 're not telling cameron what the name of the new doctor is . chad : because it 's none of his business . kayla : why would n't you want the doctor who diagnosed you to consult with your specialist ? chad : because cameron is all up in my business , and i do n't want him asking too many questions . kayla : he is concerned about you , and so am i . chad : okay , well , there 's no reason for you to be concerned about me anymore , all right ? i am fine . and , yes , i have a brain tumor . but i also have the best doctor dimera money can buy right now . i do n't want anyone else to know about this . kayla : not even abigail ? chad : especially not abigail . abigail : okay , mom ... what if this tough - love thing backfires ? what if something really bad happens to jj , and we never even see him again ? jennifer : what are you -- do n't say that , abigail ! abigail : but , mom , it 's possible ! i lost my father . i do n't wan na lose my brother too . jennifer : [ sighs ] jj : you wo n't even know that i 'm there . and i know that bo 's out of town , so i could really help you out at the house , you know ?

marge : yes , i - i think . but ... justin : let me repeat the question . do you have any idea where your husband , detective joseph bernardi , could have gotten his hands on a hundred thousand dollars ?

no comment ? jj : it 's not about hurting my mom , it 's just ... i need some space , you know ? hope : okay , fine . hey , as i said , nobody can force you to do anything you do n't want to do , right ? jj : i just need a little time to cool off . hope : okay . and where do you plan on , uh , `` cooling off , `` as you call it ? jj : actually , [ stammers ] i was thinking that maybe i can crash at your place with you and ciara . just for a couple of days . what do you think ? justin : your honor , can you instruct the witness again to answer my question ? marge : you 're trying to make it look like joe was a dirty cop , and he was n't . you know it . i know it . everybody who 's ever known him knows it ! he was a hero ! and those two over there have done nothing ... justin : your honor . judge sims : mrs. bernardi . marge : he 's a dimera ! he 's a dimera , and his father 's the biggest crook in town , and has been for years ! justin : objection . marge : it 's true ! everyone in this room knows that it 's true ! judge sims : mrs. bernardi . you will refrain from making outbursts in my court and answer mr. kiriakis 's question . or i will have no choice but to have you remanded to custody . justin : mrs. bernardi . do you know where the money in your son 's bank account came from ?

marge : someone else must have put the money there . but it was n't joe . it was not joe . justin : who else had access to your account besides you , your husband , and your son . marge : [ whispering ] no one . justin : no one ? marge : no one ! but he is a dimera ! and they can get away with whatever they want ! somehow they got access to that account . justin : mrs. bernardi , i know you 'd like to believe that . marge : i do believe it , because it is the only explanation that makes any sense ! the doctor hoysyselin it . kayla : chad , you need to calm down and listen to me . cha no , you need to listen to me . cameron had no right discussing my illness with you , okay ? it 's a breach of doctor - patient confidentiality , and i may just have that bastard sued . kayla : you are completely overreacting . i was on duty the day that he got your ct scan results . i consulted on your case . i am his chief of staff . we do that every day , all day . chad : okay , okay . but there is no reason for you or cameron to consult about me anymore , okay ? i have a new doctor now . kayla : yes , i know . and i know that you 're not telling cameron what the name of the new doctor is . chad : because it 's none of his business . kayla : why would n't you want the doctor who diagnosed you to consult with your specialist ? chad : because cameron is all up in my business , and i do n't want him asking too many questions . kayla : he is concerned about you , and so am i . chad : okay , well , there 's no reason for you to be concerned about me anymore , all right ? i am fine . and , yes , i have a brain tumor . but i also have the best doctor dimera money can buy right now . i do n't want anyone else to know about this . kayla : not even abigail ? chad : especially not abigail . abigail : okay , mom ... what if this tough - love thing backfires ?

and i do n't -- i do n't eat a lot . okay , yeah . [ laughs ] that was a lie . but i 'll try not to clean out your refrigerator , i promise . hope : [ laughs ] jj : and i would love to spend some more time with you and ciara . she 's just so unbelievably cute . what ? you do n't like the idea ? hope : oh , i ... i would love to help you out . jj : all right . hope : but you need to go home . oh , and before you get on the horn to all of the other hortons and johnsons in town and tell all of them that , oh , you 'd like to get to know them better , and that you 'll help out around the house , and that -- whatever else yolson gon na come up with , let me assure you , they 'll react exactly as i have . jj : mm , you mean my mom got a hold of them ... hope : jj , listen up . the charges against you are very serious . do you not understand that ? and as a cop , i have seen up close where that path can lead , and it 's not warm and fuzzy . so stop being a jerk before you end up behind bars for the rest of your life . okay ? okay ? hey , we 're family . but i 'm also a cop . and i 'll be watching you . actually , the entire force will be watching you . rory : dude , i 'm sorry , that was brutal .

[ scene_break ] julian : you 're worrying about who owes who what ? i 've been underground for weeks after barely escaping our demented sister . ava : yes , i know . i was certain that she killed you ... and mourned your loss , wished i 'd spent more time with you ... longed for our relationship the way it was on our best days . julian : so , what happened ? ava : i found out you were alive . that 's what happened , and i remembered how angry i am with you ! do you have any idea what you put me through ? ! when sonny heard you call olivia his sister , he thought you were talking about me , and he came after me , julian ! julian : yeah , i 'm sorry -- ava : and he would have killed me ! julian : i 'm sorry that had to happen . ava : i survived only because jason had dante arrest me , which brings me back to the fact that i was in a jail cell for weeks while the only person who knew the truth -- my big brother -- did absolutely nothing to stop it . julian : do n't you think i wanted to ? ava : did n't seem like it , no . julian : well , olivia was threatening my family . what would you have done if you were in my place -- you tell me , huh ? -- if someone , anyone was threatening kiki ? do n't tell me you would n't have done everything possible to protect your daughter . ava : well , you 're right about that . a jerome does whatever they have to do to protect their own . julian : exactly . so , does that mean you 're gon na help me get out of here ? ava : consider it handled . [ door opens ] scott : hi , ava . i got here as soon as i got your message . julian : baldwin ? ava : [ sighs ] scott : well , it 's nice to see you back among the living . julian : this is your master plan ? scott : hey , hey , i do n't got to hang around here and get insulted . i 'll take the afternoon off and go to the track . julian : no , you might as well stick around . at least here , you 'll make some money . scott : oh , how soon you forget . you were facing the trifecta of felonies . and who got you acquitted ? i did that . i did that ! and i 'm willing to go two for the money . [ scene_break ] dante : it 's best to get statements as close to the events as possible . sam : no , i understand . but my mom was a little shaken up , as you can imagine . dante : mm . sam : that 's why ... i spent the night . she 's been sleeping most of the afternoon . dante : sure . i -- you know , this wo n't take long . i promise . just need to get documentation on the kidnapping charges . when the police showed up at the motel , julian confessed to holding your mom hostage . sam : okay . well , if he confessed , why do you need a statement from my mom ? dante : i just need to lock the case down . your mother can confirm this , we can nail julian to the wall for good . alexis : [ breathing heavily ] sam : i 'll explain the situation to my mom , and i 'll get her down to the station as soon as i can . dante : sure . all right . that 'd be great . sam : okay . dante : hope your mother feels better . sam : thank you so much . be safe out there .

[ scene_break ] jason : hey . elizabeth : hi . come in . jason : where 's jake ? elizabeth : he 's still at school . i thought maybe we could talk before he gets home . jason : okay . is this about his therapy ? elizabeth : yeah . kind of . [ sighs ] jake has been talking to franco about his sessions with dr. maddox . jason : franco ? i thought we discussed this . elizabeth : [ scoffs ] i know . we did -- jason : i do n't want franco involved in any of this . elizabeth : we -- i know . i know . i did n't mean for this to happen . i - i just found out about it myself . but look . i want to show you this . jake left this at franco 's studio the other night . jason : [ sighs ] okay . [ clears throat ] what am i looking at here ? is this boy supposed to be jake ? elizabeth : franco seems to think so . jason : clearly , he 's hiding from the scarecrow . elizabeth : well , we do n't really know that for sure . but when franco asked him about it , jake insisted he did n't want his parents to know any more about the scarecrow . now , he knows that i 've already seen it ... which means the parent he 's afraid of ... is you . [ scene_break ] alexis : you found me with julian . you saw exactly what happened . sam : uh , no . i heard what happened . more to the point , i heard it from julian . alexis : so , you think his confession is a lie ? sam : [ laughs ] well , while i - i do n't have a problem believing that julian would kidnap you , i - i find it hard to believe that he would take you to a motel room . alexis : well , where else is he gon na go ? he ca n't come here . sam : yeah , you 're right . he ca n't , can he ? [ inhales sharply ] i do n't know , mom . i just -- i 'm having a hard time believing that he would hold you up in a motel room . so why do n't you just tell me the truth ? he did n't kidnap you , did he ? [ door opens ] kristina : hey ! molly : hi . mom , oh , my gosh , i 'm so glad you 're okay . alexis : i 'm okay . what happened to your arm ? ! kristina : walking and texting . alexis : what ? molly : sorry . kristina : we came over last night as soon as we heard what julian did and to tell you about molly . alexis : oh . kristina : but somebody would n't let us see you . sam : oh , well , that -- it 's -- somebody was asleep . molly : well , we could have tiptoed into her bedroom . alexis : you know , i 'm in one piece , but you are n't . i 'm worried . molly : well , you 're the one who went through a trauma with julian , okay ? and since 90 % of all communication is nonverbal , kristina and i thought it would just be better if we could come see you ourselves . kristina : we did n't want you to have a drink . molly : kristina ! kristina : what ? that 's why we 're here , is n't it ? molly : i was trying to say it in a more subtle way . kristina : you were taking too long , and the food 's getting cold . we brought brunch from kelly 's . molly : we thought waffles would be good comfort food . alexis : for both of us . molly : [ chuckles ] alexis : and you figured right . kristina : and we put all the best comic - book series at the top of our queues . molly : completely mindless entertainment that takes absolutely zero brain cells to watch so that we can talk . kristina : or not talk . molly : you know , whatever you want . it 's all about the davis women today . [ baby cooing ] alexis : well -- molly : all of them , huh ? alexis : all right , well , i could n't love anything more . it 's my favorite kind of day . kristina : well , what are we waiting for ? i 'm starving . molly : oh , and , sam , do n't worry . the movies are going to be a good influence on scout . we made sure to pick the movies with themes of female empowerment . sam : oh , that 's good . we could all use a little bit of that right now . alexis : yeah . so , i 'm gon na go grab a waffle before -- sam : well , no , no , hold on . i am not done with this conversation . alexis : well , we have plenty of time for that later . i got to go help your sister eat . she 's only got one arm . [ scene_break ] scott : all right , now , enough of this chitchat . if i 'm gon na mount a defense , we have n't got a minute to waste , so , uh , you 're gon na have to go . you 're not covered under client / lawyer privilege . ava : oh , okay . say no more . i 'm sure that my brother will be happy to reimburse me after he 's free and clear of all the charges . julian : you have a lot of faith . ava : in scotty 's abilities or your finances ? both . ava : what can i say ? you 're my brother . and despite your recent disloyalty ... i love you . i 'm glad you 're alive . julian : careful now . somebody might think that you actually like me . scott : do n't worry . i 'll keep it under my hat . [ scene_break ] sonny : hey , carly . you did n't -- you did n't have to come here and wish me happy birthday . carly : i do n't want you to lie to me . you called customs and immigration on jax . you 're trying to have him deported . [ scene_break ] elizabeth : i know you have no reason to believe franco , but ... jason : i just want to know what 's going on here . elizabeth : [ sighs ] jake and i ran into him at the hospital . jake went into his therapy session , and franco showed me a picture of this drawing . jason : and he said my son 's afraid of me ? elizabeth : yes . and when jake figured out that franco had shown me this picture , he had a total meltdown . he -- he took off . we could n't find him . it was crazy . and then when franco finally caught up to him , he kept insisting that he did n't want his parents to know any more about the scarecrow . jason : but he did n't mean both his parents . he just meant me . jake 's afraid that -- jake does n't want me to see the scarecrow . jake : dad ? [ scene_break ] molly : [ laughing ] i love this movie . sam : that 's just because you have n't seen the sequel . molly : yes , i have ! forgive me if i prefer an origin story to two hours of blowing everything in the world up . kristina : that 's the whole point . the origin story is just the setup so you can get to the good stuff . molly : okay , fine ! there is only one way that we 're gon na settle this -- we have to watch both . kristina : sounds good to me . let 's let mom be the deciding vote . alexis : what ? what are we voting on ? molly : whether story is more important than special effects . alexis : mm . kristina : [ sighs ] we 're not moving from the couch for the next four hours -- unless you have somewhere you need to be . alexis : nowhere comes to mind . sam : you know what ? actually , mom has to go to the police station and make a statement , so ... [ turns tv off ] kristina : what for ? did n't julian confess ? alexis : yeah , he did . he just -- dante wants to ask me some questions . some forms i think i need to fill out . molly : well , that 's probably good , right ? i mean , if they do everything by the book , they can make sure julian never gets away with anything like this again . alexis : right . good point . kristina : so , they have to make mom relive her whole trauma all over again ? i mean , how many times has julian put her through agony ? and dante 's going to do more of the same . alexis : i -- i do n't think that was dante 's intention . i think he 's just doing his job . kristina : everyone knows what julian did to you , mom . and it was n't just kidnapping you . he set you up for murder , and then he tried to kill you . it did n't matter that he was married to you or that he claimed to love you . he tried to slit your throat because julian 's willing to do whatever it takes to save his own ass . he 's a selfish bastard , and if you ask me , a firing squad is too good for him . alexis : okay , okay , i get it . we all get it . [ scene_break ] ava : detective .... pleasure , as always . dante : here to see your brother , i assume ? ava : oh , yes , yes . it 's wonderful , is n't it , his return to the land of the living ? dante : ah , the miracle we 've all been hoping for . ava : mm . dante : i got some more good news for you , too . ava : do n't keep me in suspense . dante : the evidence from the robbery at the floating rib has been released today . so , you can get your charm bracelet back . ava : that is wonderful . i 've missed that . dante : mm . i 'll get , uh , morgan 's pills back to sonny . man , i still ca n't figure out how ... these made it to the floating rib six months after he died . ava : [ stammers ] one of life 's great mysteries . dante : ah , well , i do n't think that 's gon na be good enough for sonny . we both know he 's not gon na rest until he finds out the truth . [ scene_break ] carly : when did you become such a hypocrite , sonny ? ! sonny : you know what ? i use whatever leverage i can use . unfortunately , jax broke the law when he paid frank for that kidney . so he can be deported . carly : great . i get it . for you , this is all about payback . so , you hurt me and you hurt jax . did you stop for one second to think what this was gon na do to josslyn ? in the past year , she 's lost morgan and her grandmother . now jax was arrested , and he 's gon na be deported , sonny . sonny : it 's not like they 're gon na hold him at some detention center , carly . they 're gon na escort him on his beautiful plane , right ? he 's gon na take off and go to australia , and josslyn can visit him anytime she wants . carly : this is my kid 's father , sonny ! okay , fine . this is how you want to play it , fine , but if jax has to suffer the consequences , so do you . and believe me -- there will be consequences . sonny : what is that supposed to mean , carly ? [ scene_break ] sam : hey there . [ baby cooing ] sam : did they startle you ? alexis : i 'm sorry . did i wake her ? sam : oh , it 's okay , right ? she 's got to get used to it sometime . molly : scout is resilient . sam : she is . molly : but , mom , you 're the one that i 'm worried about . alexis : honey , i 'm -- i 'm fine . i just -- it 's hard for me to hear any more lectures about this because the situation -- there 's just more to it than you know . kristina : you mean a situation where you 're in a relationship with someone who hurts you mentally and physically ? i actually know a lot about that . alexis : i know you do . i 'm sorry . i really am , honey . i - i 'm just -- i 'm -- i 'm confused . molly : mom , there 's nothing to be confused about . unless you 're actually defending julian again . alexis : [ stammers ] no , it -- it 's not that simple . molly : i do n't know . it seems pretty simple to me . julian put a lot of the people you care about in danger . sam could have died because of what he did . so could scout . alexis : i am very well - aware of all the danger that he put all of us into . it 's -- it 's just -- his motives are complex , is all i can say . molly : not really . honestly , kristina is right . julian does n't care about anybody but himself . alexis : i know . you 're right . i 'm not defending him . i just -- i think that i 'm more tired than i think . molly : yeah . you had a really hard night . alexis : yeah , and i was hoping that all this would be over . kristina : well , is n't it ? sam : you know what ? mom needs a breather before she goes to the station to give her statement , so ... molly : yeah . yeah , that 's a good idea . alexis : y -- okay . molly : good luck . alexis : all right , so -- molly : i 'll check in later , okay ? alexis : all right , honey . you take good care of your arm , okay ? molly : okay . take good care of yourself , all right ? alexis : i will . you be careful . and i love you . kristina : i love you , too . alexis : and thank you for the waffles . kristina : mm - hmm . alexis : okay . molly : i love you . alexis : bye . [ door closes ] alexis : well , i should n't have said that . sam : i think kristina understands . alexis : no , she does n't , and i do n't know that i do , you know ? why would i say that to her after everything she went through with kiefer ? [ stammers ] i should never have done that . sam : do you think you should n't have done that because of kristina or ... because of julian ? because you know what , mom ? it 's probably easier to just come out and tell the truth , so ... why do n't you just tell me the truth ? he did n't hold you hostage last night , did he ? alexis : no . [ scene_break ] scott : so , the cops show up to the hotel room , and the first thing you do is admit that you kidnapped alexis ? julian : well , she was standing right there . what else was i supposed to do ? scott : oh , well , you were supposed to just dummy up . you know that expression , `` anything you say can and will be used against you `` ? julian : yeah , i 've heard the term . scott : yeah , well , they usually mean it . julian : does n't matter anyway . all the police have to do is question alexis , and they 'll find out the truth . scott : so , it 's your word against hers . you know , she has got so many skeletons in her closet . all i have to do is pick one to discredit her . julian : let me make one thing abundantly clear . you can mount any defense you want , use any means necessary to get me acquitted , except anything that pertains to alexis . scott : you got to be kidding me . julian : i 'm not kidding you . i have hurt alexis enough , and i promised her i would allow her to move on with her life . scott : because it 's worked so well for you before . julian : after you clear me of these charges ... i 'm leaving port charles for good . scott : you know , i 'm not quite sure how you feel about my legal expertise , but let me assure you that i am top - notch here . so , as your attorney , the best advice i 'm gon na give you is that you 're gon na have to take a plea bargain . julian : what the hell does that mean ? scott : well , legalese , you 're gon na spend a long , long time in pentonville . [ scene_break ] carly : i really wanted to handle this breakup like a mature adult , you know ? i wanted to take the high road , no matter how angry i was at you . sonny : but now ? carly : now you have shown me you have no interest in keeping this civil . when you made the call to ice , you took the first shot , sonny . so , fine , it 's war . it 's war , but you know what ? i 'm gon na win . sonny : we 'll see , carly . carly : yeah , we will . well , enjoy your birthday ... here , alone . you know , when i see you here , all i can think about is how you celebrated last year when we were all together , all of us together as a family . and then everyone left and it was just the two of us , and i had never felt ... so close to you . i knew we were gon na last forever . just amazing ... the difference a year makes . [ scene_break ] jake : did you and mom wait here after you took me to school this morning ? elizabeth : no , baby . your dad just stopped by for a quick visit . jason : you know , actually , uh , i thought if you were up for it , maybe we could hang out a little bit . elizabeth : are you hungry ? i 'll get you something to eat . jason : sit down , buddy . how 's school ? jake : okay . kind of boring . jason : yeah ? well , you 're a smart kid . sometimes school is gon na seem a little boring . bet you 're ready for summer already , huh ? jake : yeah . jason : yeah . and , you know ... school 's not as much fun as , say , uh , playing with your brothers or your video games or even those action figures that dr. maddox has . jake : right . jason : right . you know , uh , whatever you discuss with dr. maddox -- that 's between you and him . that 's -- that 's private . jake : i know . jason : good , but i - i need you to know something . like , if there 's anything you want to talk to me about -- anything at all -- you can always talk to me . jake : i know that . jason : good . because , um , i got to tell you , i 've had this crazy feeling that maybe you 're afraid of me . jake : you 're not the one i 'm scared of . jason : jake , is there someone else you 're afraid of , someone you do n't want to know about the scarecrow ? jake : mom . elizabeth : do you want some cheese and apples ? jake : can i have a soda ? elizabeth : uh , y -- half of one . jason : [ chuckles ] elizabeth : [ sighs ] what do you think ? jason : uh , he 's definitely afraid of someone , but he says it 's not me . elizabeth : i do n't understand . franco said that he was afraid of telling his parents , meaning you , about the scarecrow . jason : yeah . elizabeth : okay , and before you say it , i know what you 're thinking -- franco somehow planted this in jake 's mind . jason : that 's not what i was gon na say . that 's not what i 'm thinking at all . elizabeth : oh . you were n't ? jason : no . i 'm pretty sure i know exactly what 's going on with jake . [ scene_break ] alexis : so , when i was getting those mysterious phone calls and the photo was missing and -- you asked me how i 'd feel if it turned out that julian was alive . sam : yes , and you told me you were n't sure . alexis : right . and then i saw his photo -- proof that he did n't die . and i , uh , went down -- i went down to the pier . sam : yeah . jason and i found your scarf there . i figured you went down there to think about the night . alexis : i went down there to find closure . and i found him ... julian ... standing there . and i felt relief . sam : okay . so , he did n't force you to go to the motel ? alexis : no . no . i went with him . and then you and jason and the police showed up . and he said i was his hostage , so that i would n't be implicated , so that i would have a life without him while he spent the rest of his in prison , and so now i have to live with that . sam : okay . well , you know , at the end of the day , what you tell the police is your decision . but if i were you , i would bring diane along when you make your statement . alexis : why ? sam : [ chuckles ] why ? because you either can confirm julian 's lie or tell the truth and implicate yourself . [ scene_break ] scott : once alexis gives her statement to the police , game over for you . julian : i do n't believe that . there 's got to be something you can do . scott : well , you have been charged as an accessory in your lunatic sister 's crimes , up to and including the death of morgan corinthos , and the kicker is that you kidnapped alexis of your own free will ! now , you do n't think that the new da is not gon na want to take a crack at you ? ! hornsby goofed it up , but da garcia -- she will be out for blood . julian : okay , okay . scotty , you got to have something up your sleeve here . come on . scott : i 've got nothing up my sleeve -- unless you want to recant your story ! julian : no . no , i did what i did , and ... i 'm the only one who should pay for it .

[ scene_break ] sonny : you have any idea how morgan 's pills ended up at the floating rib ? dante : no . like i said , i was hoping i 'd get something out of the perps , but , uh , they are n't talking . sonny : what i ca n't understand is how ... morgan , the night he dies , leaves those -- his pills , and six months later , they 're still there . dante : it does not seem likely , right ? sonny : carly w - was convinced ... that there was something going on with the pills , that -- and she -- she wanted to find out what it was 'cause she felt like maybe he stopped taking the medication and that 's why he was spiraling out of control . and we were gon na get to -- to the bottom of it ... 'cause that 's what we do . we 're a ... we 're a great team . it 's amazing how things change . [ scene_break ] carly : josslyn , we got to talk about your father ! jax : josslyn 's at the stables . i told her i 'd pick her up later . carly : oh , you 're here ! oh ! i knew it . you know what ? just because sonny says , `` jump , `` does n't mean everyone has to say , `` how high ? `` right ? jax : sonny ? carly : yeah . sonny 's the one who tipped them off . he thought by hurting you , he would be hurting me , but it does n't matter 'cause you 're here and you 're not going anywhere , right ? right ? no . jax : it does n't matter how ice got their information . considering what i was accused of , they were well within their rights to detain me until they sent me back home . carly : no . i mean , it does n't make sense . you 're here . they let you go . why ? jax : 'cause i cut a deal . they agreed to let me go , provided i leave the country ... tonight ... and never return . [ scene_break ] sam : oh , you 're happy now ? that 's good . me -- i do n't know . i 'm a little worried about your grandmother ...

[ stammers ] i should never have done that . sam : do you think you should n't have done that because of kristina or ... because of julian ? because you know what , mom ? it 's probably easier to just come out and tell the truth , so ... why do n't you just tell me the truth ? he did n't hold you hostage last night , did he ? alexis : no . [ scene_break ] scott : so , the cops show up to the hotel room , and the first thing you do is admit that you kidnapped alexis ? julian : well , she was standing right there . what else was i supposed to do ? scott : oh , well , you were supposed to just dummy up . you know that expression , `` anything you say can and will be used against you `` ? julian : yeah , i 've heard the term . scott : yeah , well , they usually mean it . julian : does n't matter anyway . all the police have to do is question alexis , and they 'll find out the truth . scott : so , it 's your word against hers . you know , she has got so many skeletons in her closet . all i have to do is pick one to discredit her . julian : let me make one thing abundantly clear . you can mount any defense you want , use any means necessary to get me acquitted , except anything that pertains to alexis . scott : you got to be kidding me . julian : i 'm not kidding you . i have hurt alexis enough , and i promised her i would allow her to move on with her life . scott : because it 's worked so well for you before . julian : after you clear me of these charges ... i 'm leaving port charles for good . scott : you know , i 'm not quite sure how you feel about my legal expertise , but let me assure you that i am top - notch here . so , as your attorney , the best advice i 'm gon na give you is that you 're gon na have to take a plea bargain . julian : what the hell does that mean ? scott : well , legalese , you 're gon na spend a long , long time in pentonville .

[ sighs ] a family matter . lily : oh . is everything okay ? traci : well , um , i - i thought i knew what i could do to help , but that did n't go the way i hoped , so now i 'm just trying to keep from making things worse . ashley : well , why did n't you bring up the embezzlement ? kyle : i 'm following your lead . i may not understand your strategy , but i do n't doubt you 'll make it work . ashley : fantastic . let 's leave it at that . kyle : but it 'd be nice to know why you sat on the most damaging piece of information we have about billy . ashley : you know what ? i 'm not trying to destroy my brother . the whole point of the intervention is to give him a wake - up call so he gets the help he needs . kyle : mm . and a nice byproduct being him resigning from the c.e.o . office so you can eventually take over . you 're looking at me like that 's news . ashley : i have my loyalties . kyle : so do i . to you . i 've had your back all the way in this . all i 'm asking in return is for you to be up front with me . ashley : you know what ? i find your callousness towards billy to be rather disturbing , kyle . kyle : [ sighs ] ashley : i mean , he 's not some exec du jour that you 're trying to edge out of the corner office . he is your uncle . kyle : there 's nothing i want more than for billy to beat this . ashley : nothing ? kyle : he 's a screw - up . but , deep down , a good guy . that intervention proved it . everybody there loves him and was looking out for him . but i also want what you want -- to protect jabot . and that means removing the guy who 's stealing from it . ashley : okay , well , we go public with this , and the ramifications could be catastrophic for billy . and i do n't need to go there . kyle : how long can you afford to keep quiet on this ? until billy 's gambled away $ 1 million in assets ? $ 2 million ? ashley : i 'm not gon na let it go that far . kyle : so how will you stop him ? he 's an addict . keeping quiet about the embezzlement might be hurting him more than helping . phyllis : you dodged a bullet . okay ? there were no charges filed , and we managed to keep the arrest quiet . billy : nothing happened . i mean , i should n't have pushed the bartender when he cut me off . fine . lesson learned . phyllis : it 's not about the damn bartender , billy . you have to answer to board members who could still fire you . billy : and hire who ? i 'm the last blood abbott standing . phyllis : it takes one member to raise a question that could lead someone to look deeper into the books . you need to reimburse the company now . billy : will you stop telling me what i already know ? phyllis , i 'm sorry . i 'm sorry . phyllis : i 'm trying to help you . billy : i un -- i know . i just -- i do n't see a way out of this , okay ? i do n't have $ 500,000 lying around . phyllis : you have investments ? billy : non - liquid assets . they ca n't be converted in time . phyllis : okay . i can give you what i have in my savings . it 's not gon na be enough . but if we pool what we have together , it could cover half of the 500 grand . billy : stop . no . i 'm not gon na let you do that . phyllis : you ca n't afford to turn me down . billy : i took money from a company that my father built from the ground up . i am not gon na let you bail me out with your savings account . that 's not happening . phyllis : i am your partner . i love you . billy : after everything i 've done ? phyllis : what are you talking about ? we both have done bad things , and we 've learned . i 'm not turning my back on you right now . billy : so instead , what ? you crawl into this hole with me ? thanks . but no way . lauren : could you at least buzz him and tell him that -- oh , well , finally . did you forget we had a meeting ? billy : i 'm sorry . there 's just a lot going on this morning . um , i 'm sorry to keep you waiting . can we , uh , use your office ? lauren : yes . of course . gloria : you need anything ? billy : no . everything 's great . actually , i 'll take a coffee , please . gloria : coffee . and one for lauren ? smooth over the waters ? lauren : perfect ! billy : thanks . gloria : yeah . [ elevator bell dings ] phyllis : hey . what brings you by ? jack : i tried to call and text billy several times since last night . he has n't responded to any of my communications , and i thought i 'd come by , see what 's going on , see if i can help . phyllis : there might be something you can do . victor : there are hundreds of reasons why it is a very bad idea for me to attend the wedding . nikki : name one . victor : it would cause a lot of trouble . nikki : well , that 's where your well - known restraint comes in . victor : it has nothing to do with my restraint . nikki : do you really think that nicholas would ruin his own wedding ? victor : hi , sweetheart . abby : hi , dad . hi , nikki . nikki : hi . abby : i 'm gon na join you . i 'm stealing a chair . nikki : good , good . victor : well , now , that 's kind of you . abby : hi . mwah ! nikki : hi , honey . mwah ! victor : wait a minute . did you call for backup or what ? nikki : mnh - mnh . abby : [ laughs ] i volunteered . nikki : [ chuckles ] victor : had it occurred to either of you that nicholas would not be very happy if i came to witness his nuptials ? abby : that 's where you 're wrong . victor : how can i be wrong ? did he ask you to invite me or what ? abby : well , i have n't spoken to nick about it , but -- victor : so , then , why ? abby : dad . victor : what ? abby : in my heart , i know that no matter what our differences are , no matter how strained our relationship is , i would want my dad at my wedding . what if , someday , i was looking at photos of my wedding day , maybe with my kids , and my dad was n't in those shots ? how would i explain that to them ? especially if the reason you stayed away was just business ? victor : well , this goes much deeper than that , okay ? nikki : so does the bond between parent and child . traci : since the intervention was a bust , i 've just got to find a way to get billy the help he needs . so i wanted to ask you , what did you do with neil and his alcoholism ? lily : oh ... um ... you know , interventions never really helped my dad , either . but mostly , you know , i just -- i prayed , and i loved him through the times when he was n't sober . traci : no tough love ? lily : oh , there was plenty of that . plenty . but ... i do n't know . i guess i - i hauled out the big guns for when it was obvious that he was hurting himself and others . sorry . i did n't mean to sound like i know everything . i mean ... consider the source . traci : i am . i am listening to my friend , lily , who is a wise woman . lily : oh , yeah . where was that wise woman when i ran the red light ? traci : i hope you 're not gon na punish yourself about this the rest of your life . lily : i go in and out . but it 's getting better . and talking to devon really helped me . you know , i have to acknowledge what i did , but not let it consume me . and it 's my family . my family is what keeps me going . traci : and if you ca n't count on your family , you ca n't count on anyone . kyle : it 's simple . we go to billy and , behind closed doors , we tell him what we know , and give him a say in what happens next . he 's smart enough to see that , if he resigns , he 'll walk away with some semblance of dignity , lots of sympathy , and get to work on the bigger problem of his gambling by himself . ashley : okay . well , i know my brother , and he 'll double down and fight us on this . kyle : not if we -- ashley : how is this any different than how he walked out of the intervention ? i mean , honestly ? then we 'll lose whatever control we have , and then things will spiral out , and maybe billy will be so damaged , he 'll never recover . so i do n't have any interest in going there , kyle , okay ? not when i have other options . kyle : what options ? ashley : it was n't my idea to have this intervention . it was traci 's . kyle : because she 's reluctant to step in at jabot . ashley : yes . but her tactic did n't work , did it ? so i 'm going to make her realize that we have to vote billy out . she has to step in . that that 's the only choice we have . kyle : you think she 's ready to accept that ? ashley : well , you know , how could she not ? she realizes that billy rejected our attempts to get him help . kyle : okay . when will you talk to her ? ashley : today . we 'll get what we want . and we 'll push billy into getting the help he needs . jack : how deep is he in ? phyllis : billy and i can cover a lot of it . not all of it . we would need about $ 250,000 . jack : oh , god . i am aware of billy 's propensity for going down rabbit holes , but this is worse than i imagined . phyllis : trust me , i -- i can understand the irony of me coming to you on billy 's behalf . and i know that maybe this is -- jack : what ? asking too much ? phyllis : just ... if you could put our history aside for a moment and look at what will always be true -- that he is your brother . jack : a brother who betrayed me . phyllis : he needs you . just like you needed help in the past . jack : you 're collecting a favor ? phyllis : you do n't owe me . or billy . there 's only one reason for you to be doing this , and it 's because you care for him . and if i could get the money some other way , if i could ask somebody else , i would . there 's no one else , jack . gloria : this is n't a good time . kyle : i agreed i would protect you , but only in exchange for your assistance . gloria : which i gave you . but i still hate stabbing billy in the back the way i did . kyle : do n't be so dramatic . the company comes first . gloria : what do you want now ? kyle : just tell me what 's going on with billy this morning . gloria : nothing . he came in early . he was with phyllis . they wanted privacy . kyle : that 's it ? gloria : yes , that 's it ! kyle : [ sighs ] put me through to the finance department . gloria : you have the number . you do it yourself . [ receiver slams ] ugh ! billy : you okay ? gloria : yeah . it 's just , you know , sometimes people can be so frustrating . billy : okay , well , you never have to put up with that , all right ? anybody ever gives you a hard time , you send them to me . gloria : billy . billy : yeah ? what 's wrong ? gloria : i 'm sorry . billy : gloria ? gloria : you may not want to go in there . jack : so , if i do this , if i save billy , am i really helping him ? phyllis : honestly , i do n't know . [ sighs ] i go through the same thing with summer . you know , as her mother , my inclination is to get in there and to fix everything . but sometimes i think it does more harm than good . jack : and this time ? with billy ? phyllis : it is different . it 's different . he knows he messed up in a big way . he owns it . he admits it . he is never gon na do it again . this is not about teaching him a lesson . this is about containing the damage . jack : if this was the first time that life taught billy he has no business gambling , i would agree . what -- what guarantee do we have that it 's gon na sink in this time ? phyllis : none . but ask yourself what john abbott would do . jack : do n't do that . that does n't pertain . phyllis : of course it does . billy may be john 's only biological son , but you have inherited the best traits of that man . and you know that john would help him if he were alive . jack : you make a good case . and i know it could n't have been easy to come to me , of all people . phyllis : i have no right to ask you this . [ crying ] jack : you had to . you know what ? billy 's a lucky man to have someone who will fight this passionately for him . phyllis : and ... ? jack : and i 'll help . phyllis : [ sobbing ] thank you ! thank you . [ door opens ] billy : phyllis ? phyllis : heh . there 's a really good reason why i 'm hugging your brother . billy : yeah ? what 's that ? jack : your extensive and expensive gambling debts . billy : [ sighs ] so you told him everything ? jack : phyllis has n't told me who you owe the money to , but whether it 's a loan shark or a bookie , does it really matter ? they want their cash . they want it now . phyllis : jack 's agreed to help . billy : [ sighs ] well , what if i do n't want his help ? phyllis : that 's not an option . you know what is at stake . and you can not resent me for going behind your back to ask jack for help . if i could do it any other way , i would . billy : there 's got to be another way . jack : you have a woman in your life who loves you so much she 's willing to go to her ex to repay your debts . do n't you dare take that for granted . she 's just given you a priceless gift . all that 's expected of you is that you be man enough to take it . billy : well , i know that i 'm a jerk . but i also know how lucky i am to be loved by you . and have a brother like you . i 'll take all the help i can get . jack : i do require something in return , though . ashley : how 's your headache ? traci : [ sighs ] well , getting out of the house did help a little bit . but because the reason for my headache did n't go away ... ashley : so you are worried about billy . traci : are n't you ? ashley : i 'm terrified . and i hate to do this to you , but i do n't think we have any choice . we have to revisit the conversation we had earlier . traci : i - i ca n't -- ashley : before the intervention , when i first brought up billy 's gambling , i was sure the only option we had was to call a board meeting and vote billy out . have you step in as c.e.o . just long enough to get rid of the blood abbott clause . and i am more convinced than ever that that is our only choice . traci : to protect jabot . ashley : to stop billy from destroying his life . traci : [ sighs ] look , i understand why you feel this way . but my answer is still no . ashley : i am trying to help our brother ! traci : so am i . ashley : he just missed the intervention , traci . traci : and that is a huge disappointment . but i have got to hope that he 's gon na manage to find some way to turn this around on his own . ashley : are you insane ? that 's not possible . traci : anything is possible . i will not humiliate our brother by displacing him as c.e.o . just because he 's gambling again . ashley : ejecting him from his job and humiliating him is exactly what 's gon na happen if you do n't step in as c.e.o. `` the young and the restless `` will continue . lily : [ chuckling ] charlie : i mean , the surprise , the presents ... mattie : shauna loved it all . lily : oh , good . i 'm glad she had a good time . you know , with hilary gone , it -- it could have been a sad birthday . well , now we can start planning halloween . charlie : mm - hmm .

come on ! phyllis : billy . look at this . look at this . billy : hold -- hold on a second . gloria : hey . ashley 's called a board meeting . billy : what 's the agenda ? phyllis : you . nikki : you know , there 's not a lot of time left for you to change your mind . victor : [ sighs ] all right . some of the things abby said had an effect . nikki : just not enough to get you to come to the wedding ? victor : well , i still do n't have an invitation . nikki : well , i do . and i can bring a plus - one . problem solved . victor : oh , baby , that 's not the point . nikki : maybe this is an opportunity . victor : to what end ? nikki : to let your son know that you still love him , despite everything . and to let him know that you understand that events like this , gestures like this , they can lead to actual healing . and i really believe that that 's what you and nicholas both would like . no matter how much you do n't want to admit it . you only get a certain amount of chance to put things right . jack : hey . i was barely to the dark horse offices when i got a text that there 's a board meeting here . what 's going on ? billy : it 's obvious . ashley wants me out . it 's an ambush . lauren : i 've been filled in about billy 's gambling . jack : okay , you know this might not be happening if you had n't walked out on that intervention ? billy : well ... abby : uncle jack 's probably right . phyllis : billy has agreed to get help now . he 's going to rehab . abby : really ? when did this happen ? phyllis : just now . lauren : you mean after you got the text for this meeting ? jack : no . before that . he told me . and i believe he 'll keep to his word . billy : so does that mean i have your vote ? jack : you do . abby : i have to see what my mom has to say first , but ... lauren : you know , if you agree to seek treatment , that could sway my vote . phyllis : what 's the point in all this ? even if ashley gets all of the votes , billy can not be removed unless traci agrees to step in on a temp basis . jack : and i do n't see that happening . traci : then why put everyone through a board meeting ? i told you , i 'm not gon na take billy 's job . ashley : i 'm hoping that you 'll change your mind when you hear what everybody has to say . traci : well , if that 's what you 're counting on , you better cancel this right now . i do not want to hurt billy , and i would like to think you do n't want to hurt him , either . kyle : ashley . what 's happening ? ashley : traci refuses to help me . kyle : then what 's the point of a board meeting ? billy : you 're late for your own meeting . now we have a quorum , i call this meeting to order . i believe it will be a quick one . i hereby make a motion to suspend usual protocol and get to the issue at hand . lauren : seconded . billy : i believe my sister has something she would like to say . ashley : we all have a responsibility for the welfare of this company . and i personally find it extremely problematic that our c.e.o . has a gambling addiction . billy , i 'm not trying to attack you . it is my biggest hope that you will get the help you need . that 's why we staged an intervention . and , um , i 'd like to think that this meeting is an extension of that . and i hope you all will , too , as you consider your vote of no confidence . phyllis : this is all pointless . billy has agreed to go to rehab . traci : wait , you changed your mind ? billy : [ sighs ] somebody helped me see that that is the right choice for me and for the company . phyllis : so , since billy has agreed to get some help , he does n't need to be voted out . he just needs a little time out , that 's all . kyle : i - it could be months , years until billy has his addiction under control . rehab is n't a quick fix . in the meantime , the future of this company is on the line . traci : oh , no , no , no . if we love billy , we give him our support . period . lauren : look , i 'm all for rehab . but who is gon na fill in for billy while he 's gone ? [ all arguing ] ashley : listen to me , please . [ arguing stops ] i suppose i can understand that billy 's addiction is n't enough for some of you to vote no confidence . but it should be . it has to be . because billy is n't just a gambler . billy 's a thief . jack : wha -- a thief ? what 's that supposed to mean ? ashley : he stole half a million dollars from the company to support his habit . jack : billy ? nikki : [ sighs ] victor : all right . i 'll go . nikki : good decision . victor : but only as a favor to you and to abby , okay , and to see my grandchildren . nikki : and that 's it ? victor : that 's it . do n't you blame me if something goes wrong , all right ? nikki : mnh - mnh . victor : i mean , this is our son , nicholas , getting married to sharon , of all people -- again . charlie : uncle devon wanted to visit , and he would have eventually , i just -- lily : i know . listen . listen . you did an amazing and generous thing . because of you , i did n't have to wait weeks or months to see my brother . but skipping school , that is over , okay ? charlie : yeah , i know . mattie keeps drilling into me how important this year is . lily : and you . mattie : we 'll help keep each other out of trouble . i promise . lily : listen , we have to be honest with each other , okay ? you ca n't be afraid to share things with me just because i 'm in prison . charlie : and when this place starts to get to you , you 'll let us know ? lily : we 're in this together . phyllis : how could you do this to him ? traci : i just do n't understand . before , at the club , you never said one word about this . jack : because it 's a lie . ashley : i would n't lie about something like this . kyle : as sorry as i am to have to say this , it is true . i invited everyone to examine the general expenditures account . lauren : all right . why do n't you save us a lot of time and tell us what we would see ? kyle : half a million transferred out , a few nights ago , to a bank account in new york . i have the readouts right here . lauren : let me see that . traci : is this true , billy ? jack : answer her . tell us this is a lie that they cooked up about you , some kind of misunderstanding . billy : [ sighs ] i ca n't tell you that . abby : what 's that supposed to mean ? lauren : do you realize the damage that you have done to this company ? and possibly fenmore 's ? jack : there 's got to be some explanation -- some reason beyond gambling . kyle : ... gambling with your own money , but jabot 's ? that 's criminal . lauren : answer us ! abby : please tell me this is n't true . lauren : you have to have some sort of defense . ashley : point of order . i would like to call for a vote of no confidence in billy abbott . coming up on `` the young and the restless `` ... traci : i 'm so sorry , billy . i 'm willing to serve as c.e.o . of jabot . mariah : just curious . any unfinished business with those other significant women ? victor : i 'm simply saying what everyone is thinking -- nicholas was stood up by sharon . the question is , why ? | nikki and abby persude victor to go to nick and sharon 's wedding but victir tells nikki not to blame him if nick gets upset that he is at his wedding . lily gets a visit from traci and they give eavh other advice about their family problems . mattie and charlie visit lily later and mattie tells lily that charlie was skipping school and he made a deal with devon to stop skipping school if he went to visit her in jail . lily tells her children that they have to stick together and she does n't want them keeping anything from her just because she is in jail . phyllis persudes jack to lend billy the money to put back in the jabot account but she does n't tell jack billy stole the money from jabot . jack agrees to lend billy the monwy if he goes to rehab and jack will pay for any rehab center he chooses billy takes the deal . billy is unable to deposit the money into the jabot account because he is denied access to any of the jabot accounts . ashley calls a meeting of the board and asks for a no confidence vote but since billy agreed to go to rehab they just want to temporarily replace billy as ceo until kyle and ashley show the board proof that billy stole money from the company . the board is stunned when billy admits that he stole money from the company . | <s>[INST] lily : are you saying that -- that you forgive me ? devon : i 'm saying there 's nothing to forgive . 'cause i love you . billy : welcome to the after party . i kind of started without you . jack : any bet , whether it 's for 2 bucks or $ 2 million , horses , cards , brackets , it does n't matter . any bet is one bet too many for someone who 's addicted to gambling . ashley : go to rehab and i will do everything in my power , i will make it my mission on earth to fix our relationship . phyllis : you bet a half a million dollars that you got from a loan shark ? billy : this is ... so much worse . phyllis : how could it be worse ? billy : 'cause i did n't borrow the money from a loan shark . i took it from jabot . kyle : right now , traci 's the only one who can replace billy if he 's ousted . is n't that the real reason you called her ? lauren : okay . gloria : ah ! da , da , da , da ! you ca n't go in there . lauren : we have a meeting . gloria : i do n't care . i showed up early . there was a note on my desk from billy . he does n't want to be disturbed for any reason . lauren : then buzz him and tell him i 'm here . gloria : until i hear differently from the boss man , that door stays closed . lauren : [ sighs ] phyllis : it 's gon na start getting busy out there soon . we need to get into this at some point . billy : i just need a second to think . phyllis : what you need to do is let me help you . stop pushing me away . billy : i 'm ... mad at myself right now . phyllis : well , get in line . i 'm furious at you . we can take turns beating you up after we fix this . billy : you really think that 's a possibility ? you think i 'm gon na be able to replace half a million dollars that i borrowed from jabot before anybody realizes that it 's gone ? me either . [ sighs ] ashley : you avoiding me ? traci : ahh . [ chuckles ] no . not just you . myself . [ sighs ] since my intervention idea failed abysmally , i 've had a headache that just wo n't quit . ashley : can i get you something for that ? traci : oh , no . i think getting out of the house may cure me . and there 's something that i want to do that just ca n't wait . so i 'll see you later , okay ? ashley : okay . i 'll see you later . mwah ! kyle : you think traci 's got a headache now , just wait till she finds out billy 's been embezzling . ashley : do n't start . kyle : somebody 's got to since you did n't step up last night . all you had to do was tell everybody he 's stealing from the company , and he 'd be out . kyle : why keep quiet ? unless you have something to gain from keeping that tidbit to yourself . victor : hi , my sweetheart . nikki : hi . victor : interesting you chose to meet here . nikki : not really . sharon is about to become our daughter - in - law -- again . victor : [ sighs ] we are not here to support a `` family `` business now , are we ? nikki : you have always put family first . and there 's more than one way to support us . as in escorting me to our son 's wedding . victor : sweetheart , i do n't want to go to that damn wedding . i mean , let 's first find out what sharon is brewing in her tea , okay ? nikki : oh , victor . come on . victor : no , baby . the answer 's no . i do n't want to go there . but i can use a cup of coffee . thank you . additional sponsorship traci : oh ! lily : hi ! [ both chuckling ] oh , my god . thank you for coming . traci : i wish i had been here sooner . lily : it 's okay . reading your letters was almost as good as seeing you . did you get mine ? traci : uh , not yet . lily : oh . okay . maybe they just take longer screening our mail . traci : yeah . but i 'm here now . lily : yeah . traci : so fill me in . lily ... how are you holding up ? lily : i 'm -- i 'm good . heh ... traci : i hope you do n't feel like you have to hold back with me . lily : uh ... well , i mean , i was expecting claustrophobia and boredom and scary inmates . but ... the hardest part has been the guilt . you know , i 'm the reason that hilary died , and , in here , there 's nothing to do but think about what i did , and how it 's hurt my family . traci : how are things between you and your brother ? lily : um ... well , you know , at first , i think he felt like forgiving me was betraying hilary . traci : and that 's changed ? lily : yeah . he , um ... he came here , and we talked . and i think we can survive this . traci : oh ! that 's so good to hear . lily : yeah . traci : and , um , what about cane ? lily : he 's doing great with the kids , with me . yeah . [ chuckles ] traci : so , what can i do for you , honey ? lily : um ... oh , gosh . let 's talk about anything except me being in here , please . traci : [ laughs ] okay . you got it . lily : what are you doing here ? i thought you were on a book tour ? traci : ahh . i was . but i had to cut it short and come home . [ sighs ] a family matter . lily : oh . is everything okay ? traci : well , um , i - i thought i knew what i could do to help , but that did n't go the way i hoped , so now i 'm just trying to keep from making things worse . ashley : well , why did n't you bring up the embezzlement ? kyle : i 'm following your lead . i may not understand your strategy , but i do n't doubt you 'll make it work . ashley : fantastic . let 's leave it at that . kyle : but it 'd be nice to know why you sat on the most damaging piece of information we have about billy . ashley : you know what ? i 'm not trying to destroy my brother . the whole point of the intervention is to give him a wake - up call so he gets the help he needs . kyle : mm . and a nice byproduct being him resigning from the c.e.o . office so you can eventually take over . you 're looking at me like that 's news . ashley : i have my loyalties . kyle : so do i . to you . i 've had your back all the way in this . all i 'm asking in return is for you to be up front with me . ashley : you know what ? i find your callousness towards billy to be rather disturbing , kyle . kyle : [ sighs ] ashley : i mean , he 's not some exec du jour that you 're trying to edge out of the corner office . he is your uncle . kyle : there 's nothing i want more than for billy to beat this . ashley : nothing ? kyle : he 's a screw - up . but , deep down , a good guy . that intervention proved it . everybody there loves him and was looking out for him . but i also want what you want -- to protect jabot . and that means removing the guy who 's stealing from it . ashley : okay , well , we go public with this , and the ramifications could be catastrophic for billy . and i do n't need to go there . kyle : how long can you afford to keep quiet on this ? until billy 's gambled away $ 1 million in assets ? $ 2 million ? ashley : i 'm not gon na let it go that far . kyle : so how will you stop him ? he 's an addict . keeping quiet about the embezzlement might be hurting him more than helping . phyllis : you dodged a bullet . okay ? there were no charges filed , and we managed to keep the arrest quiet . billy : nothing happened . i mean , i should n't have pushed the bartender when he cut me off . fine . lesson learned . phyllis : it 's not about the damn bartender , billy . you have to answer to board members who could still fire you . billy : and hire who ? i 'm the last blood abbott standing . phyllis : it takes one member to raise a question that could lead someone to look deeper into the books . you need to reimburse the company now . billy : will you stop telling me what i already know ? phyllis , i 'm sorry . i 'm sorry . phyllis : i 'm trying to help you . billy : i un -- i know . i just -- i do n't see a way out of this , okay ? i do n't have $ 500,000 lying around . phyllis : you have investments ? billy : non - liquid assets . they ca n't be converted in time . phyllis : okay . i can give you what i have in my savings . it 's not gon na be enough . but if we pool what we have together , it could cover half of the 500 grand . billy : stop . no . i 'm not gon na let you do that . phyllis : you ca n't afford to turn me down . billy : i took money from a company that my father built from the ground up . i am not gon na let you bail me out with your savings account . that 's not happening . phyllis : i am your partner . i love you . billy : after everything i 've done ? phyllis : what are you talking about ? we both have done bad things , and we 've learned . i 'm not turning my back on you right now . billy : so instead , what ? you crawl into this hole with me ? thanks . but no way . lauren : could you at least buzz him and tell him that -- oh , well , finally . did you forget we had a meeting ? billy : i 'm sorry . there 's just a lot going on this morning . um , i 'm sorry to keep you waiting . can we , uh , use your office ? lauren : yes . of course . gloria : you need anything ? billy : no . everything 's great . actually , i 'll take a coffee , please . gloria : coffee . and one for lauren ? smooth over the waters ? lauren : perfect ! billy : thanks . gloria : yeah . [ elevator bell dings ] phyllis : hey . what brings you by ? jack : i tried to call and text billy several times since last night . he has n't responded to any of my communications , and i thought i 'd come by , see what 's going on , see if i can help . phyllis : there might be something you can do . victor : there are hundreds of reasons why it is a very bad idea for me to attend the wedding . nikki : name one . victor : it would cause a lot of trouble . nikki : well , that 's where your well - known restraint comes in . victor : it has nothing to do with my restraint . nikki : do you really think that nicholas would ruin his own wedding ? victor : hi , sweetheart . abby : hi , dad . hi , nikki . nikki : hi . abby : i 'm gon na join you . i 'm stealing a chair . nikki : good , good . victor : well , now , that 's kind of you . abby : hi . mwah ! nikki : hi , honey . mwah ! victor : wait a minute . did you call for backup or what ? nikki : mnh - mnh . abby : [ laughs ] i volunteered . nikki : [ chuckles ] victor : had it occurred to either of you that nicholas would not be very happy if i came to witness his nuptials ? abby : that 's where you 're wrong . victor : how can i be wrong ? did he ask you to invite me or what ? abby : well , i have n't spoken to nick about it , but -- victor : so , then , why ? abby : dad . victor : what ? abby : in my heart , i know that no matter what our differences are , no matter how strained our relationship is , i would want my dad at my wedding . what if , someday , i was looking at photos of my wedding day , maybe with my kids , and my dad was n't in those shots ? how would i explain that to them ? especially if the reason you stayed away was just business ? victor : well , this goes much deeper than that , okay ? nikki : so does the bond between parent and child . traci : since the intervention was a bust , i 've just got to find a way to get billy the help he needs . so i wanted to ask you , what did you do with neil and his alcoholism ? lily : oh ... um ... you know , interventions never really helped my dad , either . but mostly , you know , i just -- i prayed , and i loved him through the times when he was n't sober . traci : no tough love ? lily : oh , there was plenty of that . plenty . but ... i do n't know . i guess i - i hauled out the big guns for when it was obvious that he was hurting himself and others . sorry . i did n't mean to sound like i know everything . i mean ... consider the source . traci : i am . i am listening to my friend , lily , who is a wise woman . lily : oh , yeah . where was that wise woman when i ran the red light ? traci : i hope you 're not gon na punish yourself about this the rest of your life . lily : i go in and out . but it 's getting better . and talking to devon really helped me . you know , i have to acknowledge what i did , but not let it consume me . and it 's my family . my family is what keeps me going . traci : and if you ca n't count on your family , you ca n't count on anyone . kyle : it 's simple . we go to billy and , behind closed doors , we tell him what we know , and give him a say in what happens next . he 's smart enough to see that , if he resigns , he 'll walk away with some semblance of dignity , lots of sympathy , and get to work on the bigger problem of his gambling by himself . ashley : okay . well , i know my brother , and he 'll double down and fight us on this . kyle : not if we -- ashley : how is this any different than how he walked out of the intervention ? i mean , honestly ? then we 'll lose whatever control we have , and then things will spiral out , and maybe billy will be so damaged , he 'll never recover . so i do n't have any interest in going there , kyle , okay ? not when i have other options . kyle : what options ? ashley : it was n't my idea to have this intervention . it was traci 's . kyle : because she 's reluctant to step in at jabot . ashley : yes . but her tactic did n't work , did it ? so i 'm going to make her realize that we have to vote billy out . she has to step in . that that 's the only choice we have . kyle : you think she 's ready to accept that ? ashley : well , you know , how could she not ? she realizes that billy rejected our attempts to get him help . kyle : okay . when will you talk to her ? ashley : today . we 'll get what we want . and we 'll push billy into getting the help he needs . jack : how deep is he in ? phyllis : billy and i can cover a lot of it . not all of it . we would need about $ 250,000 . jack : oh , god . i am aware of billy 's propensity for going down rabbit holes , but this is worse than i imagined . phyllis : trust me , i -- i can understand the irony of me coming to you on billy 's behalf . and i know that maybe this is -- jack : what ? asking too much ? phyllis : just ... if you could put our history aside for a moment and look at what will always be true -- that he is your brother . jack : a brother who betrayed me . phyllis : he needs you . just like you needed help in the past . jack : you 're collecting a favor ? phyllis : you do n't owe me . or billy . there 's only one reason for you to be doing this , and it 's because you care for him . and if i could get the money some other way , if i could ask somebody else , i would . there 's no one else , jack . gloria : this is n't a good time . kyle : i agreed i would protect you , but only in exchange for your assistance . gloria : which i gave you . but i still hate stabbing billy in the back the way i did . kyle : do n't be so dramatic . the company comes first . gloria : what do you want now ? kyle : just tell me what 's going on with billy this morning . gloria : nothing . he came in early . he was with phyllis . they wanted privacy . kyle : that 's it ? gloria : yes , that 's it ! kyle : [ sighs ] put me through to the finance department . gloria : you have the number . you do it yourself . [ receiver slams ] ugh ! billy : you okay ? gloria : yeah . it 's just , you know , sometimes people can be so frustrating . billy : okay , well , you never have to put up with that , all right ? anybody ever gives you a hard time , you send them to me . gloria : billy . billy : yeah ? what 's wrong ? gloria : i 'm sorry . billy : gloria ? gloria : you may not want to go in there . jack : so , if i do this , if i save billy , am i really helping him ? phyllis : honestly , i do n't know . [ sighs ] i go through the same thing with summer . you know , as her mother , my inclination is to get in there and to fix everything . but sometimes i think it does more harm than good . jack : and this time ? with billy ? phyllis : it is different . it 's different . he knows he messed up in a big way . he owns it . he admits it . he is never gon na do it again . this is not about teaching him a lesson . this is about containing the damage . jack : if this was the first time that life taught billy he has no business gambling , i would agree . what -- what guarantee do we have that it 's gon na sink in this time ? phyllis : none . but ask yourself what john abbott would do . jack : do n't do that . that does n't pertain . phyllis : of course it does . billy may be john 's only biological son , but you have inherited the best traits of that man . and you know that john would help him if he were alive . jack : you make a good case . and i know it could n't have been easy to come to me , of all people . phyllis : i have no right to ask you this . [ crying ] jack : you had to . you know what ? billy 's a lucky man to have someone who will fight this passionately for him . phyllis : and ... ? jack : and i 'll help . phyllis : [ sobbing ] thank you ! thank you . [ door opens ] billy : phyllis ? phyllis : heh . there 's a really good reason why i 'm hugging your brother . billy : yeah ? what 's that ? jack : your extensive and expensive gambling debts . billy : [ sighs ] so you told him everything ? jack : phyllis has n't told me who you owe the money to , but whether it 's a loan shark or a bookie , does it really matter ? they want their cash . they want it now . phyllis : jack 's agreed to help . billy : [ sighs ] well , what if i do n't want his help ? phyllis : that 's not an option . you know what is at stake . and you can not resent me for going behind your back to ask jack for help . if i could do it any other way , i would . billy : there 's got to be another way . jack : you have a woman in your life who loves you so much she 's willing to go to her ex to repay your debts . do n't you dare take that for granted . she 's just given you a priceless gift . all that 's expected of you is that you be man enough to take it . billy : well , i know that i 'm a jerk . but i also know how lucky i am to be loved by you . and have a brother like you . i 'll take all the help i can get . jack : i do require something in return , though . ashley : how 's your headache ? traci : [ sighs ] well , getting out of the house did help a little bit . but because the reason for my headache did n't go away ... ashley : so you are worried about billy . traci : are n't you ? ashley : i 'm terrified . and i hate to do this to you , but i do n't think we have any choice . we have to revisit the conversation we had earlier . traci : i - i ca n't -- ashley : before the intervention , when i first brought up billy 's gambling , i was sure the only option we had was to call a board meeting and vote billy out . have you step in as c.e.o . just long enough to get rid of the blood abbott clause . and i am more convinced than ever that that is our only choice . traci : to protect jabot . ashley : to stop billy from destroying his life . traci : [ sighs ] look , i understand why you feel this way . but my answer is still no . ashley : i am trying to help our brother ! traci : so am i . ashley : he just missed the intervention , traci . traci : and that is a huge disappointment . but i have got to hope that he 's gon na manage to find some way to turn this around on his own . ashley : are you insane ? that 's not possible . traci : anything is possible . i will not humiliate our brother by displacing him as c.e.o . just because he 's gambling again . ashley : ejecting him from his job and humiliating him is exactly what 's gon na happen if you do n't step in as c.e.o. `` the young and the restless `` will continue . lily : [ chuckling ] charlie : i mean , the surprise , the presents ... mattie : shauna loved it all . lily : oh , good . i 'm glad she had a good time . you know , with hilary gone , it -- it could have been a sad birthday . well , now we can start planning halloween . charlie : mm - hmm . [ charlie and lily chuckle ] mattie : i hate this . all -- all this smiling and pretending that everything 's normal . you 're in prison due to an unjust sentence . lily : well , i , um ... i had a visitor today . traci abbott . every time i see her , she reminds me of my best friend , colleen . charlie : she died in college , right ? lily : mm - hmm . mattie : that seemed so old when we were little . and so young now . lily : [ sighs ] puts things in perspective , right ? listen , you guys , as awful as this is , we are so lucky . we 're healthy . we have each other . and we can look at a calendar and know when we 'll be under the same roof again . charlie : so i do n't get to feel sorry for myself ? lily : [ chuckles ] charlie : that 's a bummer . mattie : and i should stop protesting your imprisonment . lily : yeah , i would really love it if you do n't get arrested again . mattie : [ laughs ] lily : i mean , look at your brother . he 's do -- charlie : actually , mattie 's not the only one who messed up . i was skipping school . lily : what ? charlie : a lot . lily : your dad never & said anything -- mattie : dad did n't know . i helped charlie cover . lily : why were you skip -- charlie : i just could n't deal . lily : [ sighs ] charlie : are you mad ? lily : mmph ... [ sighs ] no . listen , i -- i know the past few weeks have been rough . i know that . so i get why you would act out . you know , you 're overwhelmed . but you do n't have that luxury now . it 's your senior year . you can not jeopardize your future . charlie : yeah , i know . i hear you . you 're right . i 've stopped skipping . lily : really ? charlie : i swear . mattie : he had incentive . charlie : what are you doing ? mattie : well , you got to tell her the rest . charlie : there 's nothing left to tell . lily : okay , i 'll be the judge of that . tell me . charlie : i -- lily : okay . would you rather me spend sleepless nights wondering what else you 're hiding from me ? mattie : charlie made a deal with uncle devon . lily : wait , what kind of -- what kind of deal ? mattie : charlie would start going back to school ... if uncle devon came to visit you . billy : a list of rehab centers ? jack : pick one . commit to it . i 'll pay for it . you get the help you need . that 's the price for my doing this . phyllis : seems like a fair exchange . billy : okay . i 'll do it . jack : you better not be playing me . billy : i 've hit bottom , brother . time to start digging myself out . jack : i 'll call my money guy , get the money transferred . phyllis : thank you , jack . billy : [ sighs ] phyllis : i know you 're angry . traci : so you 're really going through with this ? ashley : yep . i do n't have a choice . traci : [ sighs ] [ cellphone chimes ] billy : come on . what -- what 's going on here ? i 've received jack 's transfer , but i - it -- this has got to be a software glitch or something . it 's not letting me transfer the funds back into the jabot account that i took it from . `` access to this account denied `` ? come on ! phyllis : billy . look at this . look at this . billy : hold -- hold on a second . gloria : hey . ashley 's called a board meeting . billy : what 's the agenda ? phyllis : you . nikki : you know , there 's not a lot of time left for you to change your mind . victor : [ sighs ] all right . some of the things abby said had an effect . nikki : just not enough to get you to come to the wedding ? victor : well , i still do n't have an invitation . nikki : well , i do . and i can bring a plus - one . problem solved . victor : oh , baby , that 's not the point . nikki : maybe this is an opportunity . victor : to what end ? nikki : to let your son know that you still love him , despite everything . and to let him know that you understand that events like this , gestures like this , they can lead to actual healing . and i really believe that that 's what you and nicholas both would like . no matter how much you do n't want to admit it . you only get a certain amount of chance to put things right . jack : hey . i was barely to the dark horse offices when i got a text that there 's a board meeting here . what 's going on ? billy : it 's obvious . ashley wants me out . it 's an ambush . lauren : i 've been filled in about billy 's gambling . jack : okay , you know this might not be happening if you had n't walked out on that intervention ? billy : well ... abby : uncle jack 's probably right . phyllis : billy has agreed to get help now . he 's going to rehab . abby : really ? when did this happen ? phyllis : just now . lauren : you mean after you got the text for this meeting ? jack : no . before that . he told me . and i believe he 'll keep to his word . billy : so does that mean i have your vote ? jack : you do . abby : i have to see what my mom has to say first , but ... lauren : you know , if you agree to seek treatment , that could sway my vote . phyllis : what 's the point in all this ? even if ashley gets all of the votes , billy can not be removed unless traci agrees to step in on a temp basis . jack : and i do n't see that happening . traci : then why put everyone through a board meeting ? i told you , i 'm not gon na take billy 's job . ashley : i 'm hoping that you 'll change your mind when you hear what everybody has to say . traci : well , if that 's what you 're counting on , you better cancel this right now . i do not want to hurt billy , and i would like to think you do n't want to hurt him , either . kyle : ashley . what 's happening ? ashley : traci refuses to help me . kyle : then what 's the point of a board meeting ? billy : you 're late for your own meeting . now we have a quorum , i call this meeting to order . i believe it will be a quick one . i hereby make a motion to suspend usual protocol and get to the issue at hand . lauren : seconded . billy : i believe my sister has something she would like to say . ashley : we all have a responsibility for the welfare of this company . and i personally find it extremely problematic that our c.e.o . has a gambling addiction . billy , i 'm not trying to attack you . it is my biggest hope that you will get the help you need . that 's why we staged an intervention . and , um , i 'd like to think that this meeting is an extension of that . and i hope you all will , too , as you consider your vote of no confidence . phyllis : this is all pointless . billy has agreed to go to rehab . traci : wait , you changed your mind ? billy : [ sighs ] somebody helped me see that that is the right choice for me and for the company . phyllis : so , since billy has agreed to get some help , he does n't need to be voted out . he just needs a little time out , that 's all . kyle : i - it could be months , years until billy has his addiction under control . rehab is n't a quick fix . in the meantime , the future of this company is on the line . traci : oh , no , no , no . if we love billy , we give him our support . period . lauren : look , i 'm all for rehab . but who is gon na fill in for billy while he 's gone ? [ all arguing ] ashley : listen to me , please . [ arguing stops ] i suppose i can understand that billy 's addiction is n't enough for some of you to vote no confidence . but it should be . it has to be . because billy is n't just a gambler . billy 's a thief . jack : wha -- a thief ? what 's that supposed to mean ? ashley : he stole half a million dollars from the company to support his habit . jack : billy ? nikki : [ sighs ] victor : all right . i 'll go . nikki : good decision . victor : but only as a favor to you and to abby , okay , and to see my grandchildren . nikki : and that 's it ? victor : that 's it . do n't you blame me if something goes wrong , all right ? nikki : mnh - mnh . victor : i mean , this is our son , nicholas , getting married to sharon , of all people -- again . charlie : uncle devon wanted to visit , and he would have eventually , i just -- lily : i know . listen . listen . you did an amazing and generous thing . because of you , i did n't have to wait weeks or months to see my brother . but skipping school , that is over , okay ? charlie : yeah , i know . mattie keeps drilling into me how important this year is . lily : and you . mattie : we 'll help keep each other out of trouble . i promise . lily : listen , we have to be honest with each other , okay ? you ca n't be afraid to share things with me just because i 'm in prison . charlie : and when this place starts to get to you , you 'll let us know ? lily : we 're in this together . phyllis : how could you do this to him ? traci : i just do n't understand . before , at the club , you never said one word about this . jack : because it 's a lie . ashley : i would n't lie about something like this . kyle : as sorry as i am to have to say this , it is true . i invited everyone to examine the general expenditures account . lauren : all right . why do n't you save us a lot of time and tell us what we would see ? kyle : half a million transferred out , a few nights ago , to a bank account in new york . i have the readouts right here . lauren : let me see that . traci : is this true , billy ? jack : answer her . tell us this is a lie that they cooked up about you , some kind of misunderstanding . billy : [ sighs ] i ca n't tell you that . abby : what 's that supposed to mean ? lauren : do you realize the damage that you have done to this company ? and possibly fenmore 's ? jack : there 's got to be some explanation -- some reason beyond gambling . kyle : ... gambling with your own money , but jabot 's ? that 's criminal . lauren : answer us ! abby : please tell me this is n't true . lauren : you have to have some sort of defense . ashley : point of order . i would like to call for a vote of no confidence in billy abbott . coming up on `` the young and the restless `` ... traci : i 'm so sorry , billy . i 'm willing to serve as c.e.o . of jabot . mariah : just curious . any unfinished business with those other significant women ? victor : i 'm simply saying what everyone is thinking -- nicholas was stood up by sharon . the question is , why ?Summarize.[/INST]nikki and abby persude victor to go to nick and sharon 's wedding but victir tells nikki not to blame him if nick gets upset that he is at his wedding . lily gets a visit from traci and they give eavh other advice about their family problems . mattie and charlie visit lily later and mattie tells lily that charlie was skipping school and he made a deal with devon to stop skipping school if he went to visit her in jail . lily tells her children that they have to stick together and she does n't want them keeping anything from her just because she is in jail . phyllis persudes jack to lend billy the money to put back in the jabot account but she does n't tell jack billy stole the money from jabot . jack agrees to lend billy the monwy if he goes to rehab and jack will pay for any rehab center he chooses billy takes the deal . billy is unable to deposit the money into the jabot account because he is denied access to any of the jabot accounts . ashley calls a meeting of the board and asks for a no confidence vote but since billy agreed to go to rehab they just want to temporarily replace billy as ceo until kyle and ashley show the board proof that billy stole money from the company . the board is stunned when billy admits that he stole money from the company .</s> | 18,203 |

[ sighs ] eric : well , what is it ? taylor : [ sighs ] i guess steffy stopped back by the house to see liam and he thought she was gone to paris and hope was there . eric : i see , and she caught them ... taylor : it [ sighs ] could have been a lot worse , i 'm sure , but ... it 's bad enough as it is . they were making out on liam 's bed . eric : ah . taylor : although i - i am very proud of steffy because she handled it very well . she did n't throw a fit . she did n't scream . she -- she just left for paris because she knew deep down on some level that she needed to give him a little time so he could get hope out of his system and he 's had that time , so ... i think steffy is really ready now to move on and build this family with liam . [ scene_break ] liam : hey , um ... about the other day , when you called . i should have said right away that hope was there . steffy : it did n't surprise me . i told you to spend this time with hope , did n't i ? liam : yeah , i know , i know , but i could have handled it better . i mean ... look , we were barely in communication when you were gone , and when we were , you seemed , i do n't know , distant . and i feel bad . steffy : you and hope had a lot to work through . you were kept apart by lies . it 's good that you had this time . but i 'm glad to be home with you , and i am ready to start our life together ... if you 're ready to let go of what could have been . [ scene_break ] bill : [ sighs ] so , there 's something i need to tell you . katie : hmm ? what ? bill : well ... i do n't know that it 's something you 're gon na want to hear . katie : do we have to talk about this now ? bill : actually , i think now is the perfect time , because i have explored inch of your body , and i know for a fact that you do n't have your cell phone anywhere on your person . and your instinct is going to be to call your niece . katie : [ groans ] what does this have to do with steffy ? bill : well , as a matter of fact , it does . she is heading over to liam 's as we speak . [ scene_break ] hope : mom , what are you talking about ? brooke : i reminded him of a few things -- italy and your beautiful wedding . for some reason , he feels like he has an obligation to steffy . hope : right , but there 's nothing tying him to her . brooke : exactly . that 's why he needs to act now . you and liam -- you said vows to each other . now , if he 's going to honor a commitment , it should be the one that he made to you . [ scene_break ] eric : when you talk to steffy again , tell her how glad i am she 's home . taylor : i will . eric : okay . oh , i 'm gon na have to remember to be surprised when she makes the big announcement . taylor : yes . okay .

[ chuckles ] [ scene_break ] liam : this whole thing has been ... [ chuckles ] ... kind of an emotional roller coaster . steffy : tell me about it . liam : everything was fine , you know ? i mean , our futures were set , i was finally accepting the fact that hope was through with me , i was ready to move on , and then ... the truth starts coming out , and then you have to leave town , and ... steffy : did you think i was crazy , leaving at such a critical time ? liam : no . i thought you were brave and a good daughter . steffy : look , i need to be honest with you . liam : okay . steffy : the day i was leaving for paris ... i had to make a stop back at home . i - i wanted to talk to you . liam : okay . steffy : hope was already here . liam : and you did n't come in ? why did n't -- oh . oh , no , steffy . steffy : i saw you two in our bed . i could n't take it , so i left . liam : okay , all right , listen . i want you to know that we did n't -- i mean -- steffy : what i saw was difficult enough . you said i seemed distant . now you know why . liam : oh , my god . i ca n't -- i ca n't believe you 're not , like , throwing things at me right now , steffy . i ca n't believe you 're not screaming for me to go to hell . steffy : no reason to . you and hope have been through something that is -- is horrible . what your dad did , what rick did ? yes , i hated knowing that you two were spending time together , especially now . but , look ... we have so much ahead of us . we have this bright future . it was painful . but i just had to trust you were gon na work through these feelings before putting hope behind you forever . [ scene_break ] bill : so , i do n't suppose that between checking on will and heading back to our bedroom you 've come to the realization that steffy is , in fact , the better woman for my son . katie : [ sighs ] bill : come on , now . you got to admit it . you know that i 'm right . katie : why do n't we have this debate in a couple of months , after hope and liam have had a chance to work through all the craziness that went down around them , okay ? besides , as liam has so clearly told you , the decision is up to him . [ scene_break ] hope : well , i hope you 're right , and i think you are , but i have to be realistic . i have to prepare myself for either outcome . brooke : i 'd be really surprised if he decided to stay with steffy . i mean , why would he ? she 's a friend , somebody he 'd grab a beer with . i do n't know . there 's no real bond there , no commitment . taylor : what was that ? brooke : oh . hi , taylor . taylor : so , you do n't think there 's any real bond between steffy and liam ? i do n't think you could be any more wrong . hope : that is my cue to exit . taylor : uh , wait a second . no , i just want to ask you . are you serious ? you really think you 're getting back with liam ? hope : yes , i do . taylor : well , listen , i have to let you know that steffy is with liam right now for the first time since she 's gotten back from paris . when he sees her and she tells him some things and they have a nice talk , things are going to change , and i do n't think he 's ever gon na want to be apart from her . [ scene_break ] steffy : i do n't want to pressure you . liam : i know . it means a lot to me . steffy : i see what we could have . i feel it deep inside of me . but if you do n't , if being with hope makes more sense to you ... then be with her . i do n't want you to waste my time . start living the dream . have the life hope says that you were robbed of . because i am not going to make the same mistake my mother did . clinging to a relationship , when clearly my dad wanted to be with brooke instead . liam : not that it worked out . steffy : not that you and hope would , either . but that 's up to you to realize . i 'm not gon na be along for the ride . liam : is that an ultimatum ? steffy : no . no , i would never do that to you . i 'm not gon na make you stay with me because i -- i made some demands . you know that 's not who i am . liam : yeah . steffy : but i ca n't be in this place for months , waiting in limbo . i doubt hope would want that , either . i 'm not saying you have to decide your entire future today , but give hope and me a little respect . give yourself respect . figure it out soon . it 's just funny . out of all the women in the entire world , you fell for the daughters of taylor forrester and brooke logan . liam : [ chuckles ] steffy : liam , i 'm not going to repeat that pattern . i 've done it long enough . i 'm sorry . i am sorry that you and hope were lied to . i know that you 'd be married right now if that had n't happened . but it did . and now things are different . so , it 's either you acknowledge that and move on with me , or you go back to that same cycle with hope . either way , the choice is final . i am not taking this to another generation . i 'm not going to invest everything into a relationship just to know i 'm going to lose to a logan . that 's not an ultimatum . that 's learning from the past and knowing what 's best for all of us . [ scene_break ] taylor : your daughter is n't going to listen to me , but she will listen to you . you better help her see reality . brooke : taylor , you think there 's only one possible outcome . taylor : liam is going to stay with steffy , especially now . brooke : why should n't liam be able to go back to the day that made him the happiest ? he was with hope . he was marrying her in puglia . and they were looking in each other 's eyes , and they were so in love , taylor . you were n't there . if you could have seen it , you would understand what i 'm saying . yes , he cares about steffy , but it 's not the same . taylor : you have said the exact same things about ridge . it did n't matter whether we were married and whether we had children . brooke : they are n't married , and they do n't have children . and if he wants to be with hope , now is the time . taylor : prepare your daughter . she 's going to need strength when she has to leave liam behind . brooke : [ sighs ] [ scene_break ] hope : [ sighs ] okay .

[ sighs ] ... doing this thing . i 've been re - evaluating my life a lot since hope and i found out the truth , and , you know ... we would . we would -- we would be married . and -- and that 's horrible and it 's unfair . and can we go back at this point ? there 's so much that 's happened . but one thing -- one thing in particular , one very amazing thing that happened , because of my dad 's manipulations and rick 's lie ... is being with you . and i 've gotten to know you on this level deeper probably than even when we were married . everything we shared -- i do n't doubt for a moment what we could be , the life we could have together . steffy : see , that 's the problem . you can say the same about hope . we need to know . liam : [ sighs ] i think there 's only one decision i can make .Summarize.[/INST]liam hugs steffy she 's home and he 's glad she is back . she informs him that she had to help her dad through some rough spots , dealing with the breakup with brooke . she hopes he does not come back any time soon until he gets over this . she tells him she is glad that he had this time alone with hope , but now she is home and ready to start her life with liam . he comments that it has been a big roller coaster ride . she adds to it by revealing what she saw the day she left for paris . he is surprised that she is not screaming or throwing things at him . she says that would do no good ; she knew he had to get hope out of his system , especially now ( which he does not catch that meaning ) . and if anything , that is why she was so distant in paris . she does n't want to pressure him . they have a bright future ( as she rubs her tummy ) , but she is not going to make the same mistake as her mother did and try to cling to him if he really wants to be with hope . he grins and asks if that is an ultimatum . she says no , that is not who she is . she is not saying that he make that decision instantly today , but give her and hope some respect , give himself some respect .do make it soon . she knows he and hope would be married right now so this choice is final . he can go back to that same cycle with hope or come be with her .. that is not an ultimatum but what is best for all of them .</s> | 3,417 |

[ scene_break ] ellie : oh , my god . damian , it 's here . spinelli : really ? it is ? ellie : yeah . i ca n't believe brad left it in such a predictable place . spinelli : neither can i. i mean , my instincts gave me a fairly good indication , which is why i suggested it in the first place -- well , nevertheless , what 's inside ? ellie : what ? one post - it note ? no ! this does n't make any sense ! there was a lot more in here before ! spinelli : what does it say ? ellie : `` pack your things and go ! `` spinelli : is that sort of like a code or something ? what does it mean ? brad : i 'll tell you what it means ! in the words of the donald ... you 're fired . now , how did i know this would happen , hmm ? how 'd i know you scoobies would stick your homely , meddling mugs where they did n't belong ? ellie : uh , technically , i belong , but i - i assume you 're being -- brad : i 'll tell you how . because for breeders , you two are woefully , woefully predictable . spinelli : though we may be predictable , i take issue with your characterization of us as breeders , 'cause ellie does not , in fact , want children ! and though i would n't mind 2.5 or more , it does n't appear to be in the offing for us ! but t - that 's not the point . the point is ... you can not summarily fire ellie . brad : oh , ca n't i ?

[ scene_break ] sabrina : okay . so , a covert paternity test is a bit shady , but it 'll give you the answers that you need . patrick : i just do n't think that the best solution is to be as duplicitous with britt as she has been with me ! [ knock on door ] felix : nurse santiago , are you still , uh , consulting with dr. drake ? sabrina : is epiphany looking for me ? felix : no . why should she be ? you 're technically on break at the moment , although you might want to be more discreet about your trysting place . patrick : that 's my fault . sabrina : you look worried , felix . are you okay ? felix : uh , i 'm just here seeking reassurance . sabrina : about what ? felix : please tell me sabrina 's convinced you to smoke britt out once and for all . sabrina : have i ? [ scene_break ] brad : get out of my way . spinelli : no ! you have no grounds to fire ellie . brad : i do n't need grounds . spinelli : i doubt monica quartermaine will agree . brad : what does she have to do with this ? spinelli : oh , did n't you know ? all firing requires the assent of the chief of staff . brad : yeah . says who ? spinelli : uh , says the g.h . human resources guidebook . chapter 8 , section 2 , paragraph 1 , and i quote , `` all firing decisions must meet the approval of the managerial committee , which shall include the acting chief of staff , `` namely monica quartermaine . so the question becomes , have you submitted a formal request to sever ellie 's employment , much less received written authorization ? you know , perhaps , if you do have the pertinent paperwork , it 's squirreled away with that hidden file on dr. westbourne -- which ellie will certainly bring up when she contests her firing at the formal inquiry . so ... brad : formal inquiry ? spinelli : ... can you explain that hidden file on dr. westbourne ? because if you ca n't , whatever secrets you 're hiding will certainly come to light , and it 'll be you and britt on the chopping block , and not ellie .

[ scoffs ] shawn : was it ? tj : yeah , okay . it was my first time , but it was great . i mean , you met taylor . she 's fine . shawn : okay , look . she 's a pretty girl , no question , but there are other things to consider when you sleep with someone . tj : like what ? my feelings ? shawn : a person only has one first time , all right ? the point is to make it count . to share it with someone you care about , someone you -- you love and respect . tj : i respect taylor . shawn : do you love her ? tj : of course , i do n't love her . look , shawn , i get what you 're saying , but it 's done , it 's happened , there 's nothing i can do about it . up until last night , i thought this would happen with molly . that 's what i wanted , but she did n't want me . you 're the one that said i should move on , right , so that 's what i 'm doing . molly 's got rafe , and now i got taylor . [ scene_break ] taylor : what do you know about me and tj ? britt : more than i 'd like to . the father of this baby was n't exactly available , and i decided i had to have him . he was still grieving his late wife and was not ready for a relationship , but that did n't stop me from making a play for him . i thought that i could make him love me , that he 'd want me for the way that i looked , and it worked ... for a minute . taylor : see ? you got what you wanted . britt : he found me attractive , sure , but that was n't enough . because he wanted another little drip . in the end , felix is right . patrick is with sabrina , and i am out in the cold with a baby coming . [ scene_break ] sabrina : hey , ellie ? ellie : hi . sabrina : hi . could we trouble you for a moment ? ellie : of course . how can i help you ? patrick : i 'd like to do a paternity test on -- on britt 's baby . ellie : okay . sabrina : it should be fairly painless . all you would need from patrick is just a cheek swab , right ? ellie : right , that and a blood sample from dr. westbourne . sabrina : well , you already have one . brad took one just the other day . ellie : oh , okay . well , then , you 're all set . one more thing . do you guys have dr. westbourne 's consent form ? i see . patrick : [ clears throat ] sabrina : look , we have reason to believe that the baby britt 's carrying is n't patrick 's . patrick : look , ellie . normally , i would go through the proper channels , but we believe that brad is helping britt cover it up . ellie : yeah . that sounds like brad . sabrina : look , i understand that we 're putting you in a very delicate position here , and we would n't want to do anything to make you vulnerable to any -- ellie : oh , please . vulnerable , schmulnerable . any adversary of brad is a friend of mine . [ chuckles ] dr. drake ... open wide . [ scene_break ] taylor : hold up . i -- i 'm not trying to land a husband , okay ? all i want from tj is a good time . so , i 'm sorry , but our situations are completely different . britt : i hope so , for your sake . look , i do n't want anyone to make the same kind of mistakes that i 've made and the kind my mother made . the kind that get bigger and bigger , and before you know it , there 's no way to fix them . and there you are , stuck with them for the rest of your life . [ scene_break ] shawn : we need to get you home . you 're probably starving . tj : actually , i ca n't even think about food right now . i 'm good . shawn : that 's 'cause you 're hung over . it 's a natural consequence to underage drinking . tj : we were n't -- shawn : you were drinking . i do n't want to hear it . tj : [ sighs ] shawn : you 're a minor . that 's why it 's illegal to sell alcohol to kids your age , because you ca n't handle it physically or psychologically , as you so brilliantly illustrated by sleeping with a girl you barely know . tj : i get it , shawn . i messed up . shawn : well , actually , tj , it 's the second time . you know , the first was when you threw that way - out - of - control party at molly 's . tj : that was different ! shawn : you were drinking then , and you were drinking last night . there will not be a third time . you 're grounded . you got a curfew . if you drink again , the consequences go up . are we clear ? tj : we 're clear . shawn : good . let 's get you home and get you cleaned up , so you can start being grounded . tj : can i ask you something ? uh ... you 're not gon na tell alexis about any of this , are you ? shawn : sonny 's the reason you 're not turning me over to the cops ? alexis : attorney - client privilege . if i turn you in , it leads the police to him , which would not be in his best interests , obviously . shawn : and part of you wants to . alexis : yes . shawn : because i 'm a killer . alexis : yes . shawn : that 's something you do n't have to worry about . [ scene_break ] alexis : i 'm determined to get sam and danny through this . i do n't know how i 'm going to do that , but i will come up with something . tracy : well , danny is a quartermaine , so if there 's anything he needs . luke : same for me , natasha . whatever you need . alexis : thank you . i 'll let you know if there 's anything i can think of . in the meantime , what brings you two to the hospital ? luke : well , uh , this is kind of a follow - up with lulu 's -- tracy : luke 's here for me . uh , actually , i 'm getting some test results today , and i asked him if he would accompany me . luke : yeah . you know me . calming influence , always .

hope : right . unless , of course , you 've remembered something else you want to add . justin : thanks , sonny . i 'm honored . sonny : thank you . we 're also asking lucas and will 's great - grandmother to speak as well . justin : oh , it 's a great idea . i mean , caroline has seen so many changes in her life , and she 's always been ahead of the curve . so any pointers on what you want me to say ? sonny : uh , no . we just want everyone to remember the day for what it is -- the happiest day of our lives . justin : the first of many . lucas : so you and sonny , are you guys going on a honeymoon ? will : mm . the timing is not great . we 're thinking sometime this summer . which reminds me , i need to change . t is planning a bachelor party for us . lucas : all right , all right . whoa , wait . should n't you each have a party of your own ? that way you can get a discount . you know , two bachelors for the price of one . will : ba - dum - bum ! lucas : that 's right . i might use that one . look out . will : okay , well , i 'm gon na kick you out right now before you get more material for your jokes , so ... lucas : ah ! come on , come on , come on . all right , wait , wait , wait . this actually is not a joke . now i know your mom and i , we did n't give you the best example of how a marriage should work . but we 're sure hoping you and sonny can show us how it 's done . will : thanks . come here . lucas : all right , i love you . will : i love you too , dad . lucas : i 'll see you later . will : yep , all right . lucas : call me if you need anything . will : okay . everything 's coming together . this wedding 's gon na be perfect . nicole : eric and i just want to put the past behind us and focus on the future . hope : i understand . nicole : i blame myself for chyka getting away . and i have no doubt in my mind that he could have cleared eric 's name . hope : you did everything you could ... nicole : yes . hope : right ? nicole : i did . and eric should n't have been forced to leave the priesthood . he should have had a choice . it was n't fair . i worked with him every single day . i know how important his vocation is to him . hope : and it does n't help that the people that took that from him seem to have gotten away with it . nicole : yes . look , eric ... he 's made peace with what happened to him . i believe that . he just wants to move forward with his new life . hope : good . nicole : i need you to know that he says he can find happiness and satisfaction in other ways . hope , he truly is an inspiration . eric : i thought i was gon na be able to get through to you . i see i was wrong . i also thought , maybe ... you can go home again . the idea of being with my family ... seeing each other all again ... sounded pretty great to me . i have no pity on you . i still love you like a brother . so no matter how angry you are or how much you think you hate my guts ... i think you still love me too . [ phone rings ] kayla : oh , is that me or you ? aiden : no , that is me . kayla : oh . aiden : court convenes in ten minutes . but i 'd say it was nice running into you , but i 'm not sure you would agree . kayla : [ chuckles ] aiden : okay . kayla : oh , i think maybe i would . jennifer : daniel , i thought that we agreed i was going to fight my own battles . daniel : well , i was n't yelling at theresa because of what she did to you . jennifer : well , what were you yelling at her about ? daniel : well , my mom . she 's upset about brady . jennifer : yeah , so am i . daniel : so i asked her if her good news was that she was gon na leave brady alone , and she said , `` no way . `` so i just -- just let her have it . jennifer : well , what did you say to her ? daniel : well , that she 's the last thing that brady needs in his life right now , and he 's gon na see what she really is just like everybody else does . jennifer : yeah , well , do you think it worked ? daniel : well , i 'd like to think so , but she seems hell - bent on causing as much trouble as possible . jennifer : you know what ? if she spent as much energy at this job as she did on that , she would own this hospital . daniel : all right , you know what the upside of the conversation was ? come here , i 'll tell you . it 's that it is finally sinking in for her that you and i ... jennifer : mm - hmm ? daniel : we 're together . right ? jennifer : yes . daniel : there 's not a whole lot she can do to hurt us . jennifer : no . daniel : right ? jennifer : no . daniel : no . liam : did it ever occur to you i could take this straight to daniel ? theresa : there 's no way you could prove that you got it from me . liam : you 're out on a limb giving me this . i could snap that limb off . theresa : i like living life on the edge . how about you ? liam : you hate jennifer and daniel very much , do n't you ? theresa : i hate them very much , yes . nicole : i will come down to the station once i take care of this thing i have to do . hope : great . i 'm sorry things did n't work out better . nicole : yeah , me too . hope : yeah . jennifer : nicole ! nicole : ooh . jennifer : oh ! i am so sorry i 'm late . nicole : for what ? jennifer : our coffee . nicole : oh ! ugh ! dumb question . i 'm sorry . jennifer : no , it 's okay . come on . nicole : okay . whoa . jennifer : okay . oh , what about that table over there ? nicole : sure . jennifer : okay . are you okay ? nicole : yeah , why do you ask ? jennifer : you just seem very preoccupied . nicole : yeah , i guess i am . jennifer : everything 's okay with you and eric , right ? nicole : oh , definitely . jennifer : oh , good . daniel said the two of you are talking about getting married . nicole : you know , if someone told me a year ago that eric and i would be even together , i would have said they were crazy . jennifer : a wonderful thing has happened for you . nicole : yeah , but it happened by default . jennifer : well , i want you to know eric and i have been spending a lot of time together since he got that job at the hospital , and he loves you very much . nicole : i know he says that , but i just do n't -- i do n't feel worthy . jennifer : why ? nicole : because his life blew up , and i 'm getting everything i ever wanted . jennifer : okay , but it 's not like you pulled strings to make that happen . you went after that doctor to prove that kristen drugged eric . and you had to know that if you succeeded , he would have gone back to the priesthood and you would have lost him . so you put his happiness above your own . so how do you feel that you are not worthy ? [ knock at door ] daniel : come on in . eric : hey , i 'm sorry to bother you . i was just looking for jennifer . daniel : ah , she just left . eric : not a problem . it 'll keep till tomorrow . actually , i wanted to say i was sorry about ruining your party last night . daniel : ah , no , you did n't ruin it . actually , nicole already apologized . it sounds like you two worked things out , and that 's the important thing . eric : right . daniel : seems like it 's getting pretty serious . eric : it is . daniel : is something wrong ? eric : i do n't think you could understand . daniel : sorry , man . did n't mean to butt in . eric : no , no , you 're not . it just has n't been a great day . that 's all . maybe i should talk to somebody . daniel : well , there you go . look , i 'm no preacher , man , but look , sit down . have a seat . eric : i , uh ... i told nicole i wanted to marry her . now i do n't know if i can go through with it . hope : i 'm really looking forward to this wedding . kayla : yeah . hope : it 's just so great . i mean , it 's so wonderful when two really good people find each other in this crazy , old world of ours , is n't it ? kayla : i know . is n't that true ? hope : yeah . kayla : hey , you know , speaking of good people , i - i just ran into aiden jennings . hope : really ? kayla : yeah . you know him , do n't you ? what do you think of him ?

kayla : [ giggles ] do you know if he 's -- is he seeing anyone ? hope : are you interested in him ? kayla : i do n't know with that reaction . i do n't -- should i not be ? daniel : so you have to choose between nicole and the church ? eric : i guess that 's what it comes down to . daniel : yeah , well , that 's a hard choice for a guy like you . eric : but , fortunately , nicole and i have n't talked about a wedding date . daniel : all right , well , i know you , and you are gon na follow your conscience . you 're gon na do the right thing for both of you even if it 's not easy . eric : i sure hope so . daniel : yeah . nicole seemed so happy here today . does she know there 's a problem ? eric : [ sighs ] not yet . daniel : well , she 's taking that marriage idea and is sort of just running with it . eric : yeah , i think i need to sit her down and talk to her about it . daniel : i do n't mean to tell you what to do , but i think the sooner you talk to her , the better . jennifer : jj has been doing his community service . he 's been keeping his grades up . so , i mean , i just ca n't thank you enough for not turning him in . am i just completely boring you ? nicole : mm ! no . jennifer : sorry . nicole : no , you 're not . jennifer : you just keep looking at your watch , so i -- nicole : [ sighs ] i just remembered that i ... i told somebody i would meet them for a story i 'm doing . and , um , this might be the only chance that i have to interview him . jennifer : is it a big story ? nicole : could be . jennifer : really ? can i know your source ? nicole : ugh ! i ca n't tell you , i 'm sorry . jennifer : i 'm just trying . no , i completely understand . you know what ? let me get our check , and then we can go . nicole : oh , okay , thank you . jennifer : okay , we are set . nicole : oh , how much do i owe you ?

will : she did mention that three generations of my family were taking part and she was n't . sonny : so what 'd you say to her ? will : well , i mentioned that your mother was speaking either , and that seemed to do the trick . sonny : yeah . will : what did yours want ? sonny : no , she was fishing for info . she wanted to make sure that your mom was n't speaking either . and she was like , `` oh , you know , my feelings are n't hurt . just that your father and will 's father and caroline brady are speaking at your wedding and not your own mother , `` but she said it 's gon na be wonderful and it 's gon na be fine . will : [ laughs ] wow . i mean , i wish mine had been that subtle . basically said that if your mom opened her mouth that my mom said she would have a speech prepared . sonny : huh . well , they must be acting like that because they love us so much , right ?

sorry i missed that . justin : you know what ? maybe we should just skip the whole coordinating of speeches . lucas : you 're not gon na try to be funny , are you , justin ? justin : no . i do n't try to be funny . my humor is more natural , you know , organic . lucas : ah . justin : not the jokey shtick that just sort of lays there . lucas : yeah , yeah . well , you know what they say . dying 's easy , comedy 's hard . justin : actually , it was the famous tragedian edmund kean who said that on his deathbed . lucas : oh . justin : not that this is a competition or anything . lucas : no , no , no way . hope : i just think that aiden is kind of , i do n't know , complicated . kayla : you do n't sound like you like the guy very much . hope : i 'm not saying i do n't like him exactly . kayla : well , that 's not a rave review . hope : i 'm just saying , the more i get to know him , the more i ca n't figure him out . it 's not like he 's a serial killer or anything . kayla : oh , that makes me feel better . hope : i 'm just saying , i think you should make up your own mind about him . that 's all . make your own opinions . kayla : you know , i just feel like i have sort of been on a shelf , you know , since steve and i split . and he is a really charming , intelligent -- seems like a super - nice guy . you do n't -- you do n't -- you do n't agree with that ? hope : i just -- you know , he 's just -- no , he is . he is . i 'm being tough on him , but he 's just not all of those things . although maybe some of the time he 's some of those things . kayla : and the rest of the time ? hope : judgmental and stubborn and just does n't budge on those judgments at all . kayla : well , who needs that , right ? hope : exactly . kayla : yeah . you know , i got ta get going . but i will see you tomorrow at the wedding , right ?

aiden : oh , i heard every word .

[ giggles ] daniel : no , come on , tell me . i know that giggle . come on . what ? jennifer : it 's just from i.t . that stupid flier and those nasty comments that were made about me on the message boards , they did n't originate from hospital equipment . daniel : which means you ca n't nail theresa , and you ca n't get her fired . jennifer : yeah . daniel : you still think that she did it ? jennifer : i heard anne leave that message on theresa 's voice mail basically implicating her . daniel : i 'm sorry . jennifer : it 's all right . i mean , at least nothing else has happened . maybe theresa thought she pushed too far and then lost her nerve . maybe the little games are over . liam : i 'm not interested in anything you have to offer . theresa : you do n't even know what it is . liam : i told you , i do n't hate daniel and jennifer . i wish them nothing but the best . theresa : stop wasting my time , will you ? look , i do n't know what your next big move is , okay , but ... maybe this 'll help . liam : what 's that ? theresa : the key to dr. dan 's apartment . still not interested ? sonny : i ca n't tell you how lucky i feel to come from the family i come from . when i came out , it was n't even a thought in my mind that you and mom would n't accept me for who i am . justin : you get the kid you get . and if you 're not prepared to embrace all the possibilities , then you should n't be a parent . sonny : yeah . was n't so easy for will . justin : do n't be so tough on lucas . he 's come around in a big way . and when arianna 's your age , well , being gay or straight will be -- seem like having brown eyes or blue eyes . no big deal . sonny : we knew it was a good idea . justin : what 's a good idea ? sonny : will and i want you to speak at our wedding . lucas : so you 're having second thoughts about marrying sonny ? will : no . lucas : but you just said -- will : well , i said that i 'm not ready , and i 'm not . i need your help to make it perfect . lucas : you little stinker . will : [ laughs ] i got ya . lucas : yeah , you did get me pretty good . nice . all right . what do you need ?

aiden : oh ! now that 's a real labor - saving device right there . that is -- kayla : it is , yeah . yeah , it is . and , um , and one of those , um , you know , things that peel apples . aiden : really ? kayla : yeah . aiden : but , um , what made the noise ? kayla : uh , the wind chimes . aiden : the wind chimes ? kayla : yeah . you know what , it 's ridiculous . and you know what , maybe , if i 'm lucky , everything broke and i can just go get them a gift card , because they would probably like that better anyway . aiden : no , no , no , no . look , if the bride and groom registered for all that stuff -- kayla : it 's a groom and groom . aiden : i 'm sorry ? kayla : groom and groom . aiden : really ? kayla : yeah , yeah . aiden : oh , that 's awesome . kayla : yeah , yeah , it is . i 've never seen will so happy . aiden : you know , i went to a gay wedding last year . it was my aunt ivy , who married the woman she has been with for 40 years . kayla : is n't that great ? aiden : it is , it 's great . but , you know , i did my shopping early . so i showed up with a panini maker . who rocked the gift table ? kayla : i bet you did . aiden : yeah , well ...

[ both chuckle ] daniel : now here 's a thought . have you told kayla that you think theresa did that stuff ? jennifer : i thought about it . daniel : because she will take care of her . jennifer : yeah , but i do n't have any proof , honestly . i mean , and if i go after theresa and she feels cornered , i 'm afraid that she 's gon na do something to hurt jj . daniel : yeah , or brady . jennifer : exactly , yes . daniel : well , you know what ? i think i set her straight , so -- jennifer : set her straight ? daniel : well , she came roaring in here saying that she had some good news for you and me , but i knew it was all a bunch of bull . she was just saying that to get in the door , but i told her , i said , `` if you cause any more trouble , you will have to deal with me . `` jennifer : daniel , you went after her again , today ? daniel : i sure as hell did . liam : how 'd you get a key to jonas 's apartment ? theresa : it 's a long story . i knew it would come in handy someday , though . mm , imagine the trouble you could cause for daniel and little jenny if you could get into his apartment whenever you wanted . liam : i do n't know what you 're talking about . theresa : suit yourself . do whatever you want with it . i 'm not going to say anything to anyone . liam : wait . eric : kristen wanted to get back at your dad and my mom , and she did . i 'm not in the priesthood anymore , and you 're ... brady : what am i ? what am i ? huh ? eric : the worst part about this whole thing is that you think that i betrayed you with the woman that you loved . and there 's no way that i can prove that you 're wrong . brady : when i think about kristen and me sitting in your office talking about how much we loved each other and you sitting there and nodding approvingly , it makes me sick . eric : well , maybe we 'll never get past this . brady : maybe we wo n't . eric : but i see you standing here and you 're hurting ! i want to be here for you . brady : i 'm good . i 'm fine . i do n't need your pity . eric : kristen is the one who hurt you . she hurt me too ! be mad at her ! brady : i 'm not mad . you seem to be doing fine . you landed on your feet . eric : what is that supposed -- brady : look at you . come on . you got a new profession . you got people tripping over themselves wanting to hire you and give you work . and you got a new girlfriend , huh ? you know , brother , you may have fallen out with the church , but women are still falling into your bed . eric : stop it ! hope : i 'd like you to come down to the squad room and read over the statement you gave the night you and daniel confronted dr. chyka . nicole : i 'm sure it 's fine . i told you everything i know . hope : it 's just a formality . nicole : look , chyka got away . there was nothing i could do to stop him . hope : i know . look , i get it . come down to the station at your convenience and sign your statement . then i can be done with the paper work . nicole : and that 'll be it ? hope : right . unless , of course , you 've remembered something else you want to add . justin : thanks , sonny . i 'm honored . sonny : thank you . we 're also asking lucas and will 's great - grandmother to speak as well . justin : oh , it 's a great idea . i mean , caroline has seen so many changes in her life , and she 's always been ahead of the curve . so any pointers on what you want me to say ? sonny : uh , no . we just want everyone to remember the day for what it is -- the happiest day of our lives . justin : the first of many . lucas : so you and sonny , are you guys going on a honeymoon ? will : mm . the timing is not great . we 're thinking sometime this summer . which reminds me , i need to change . t is planning a bachelor party for us . lucas : all right , all right . whoa , wait . should n't you each have a party of your own ? that way you can get a discount . you know , two bachelors for the price of one . will : ba - dum - bum ! lucas : that 's right . i might use that one . look out . will : okay , well , i 'm gon na kick you out right now before you get more material for your jokes , so ... lucas : ah ! come on , come on , come on . all right , wait , wait , wait . this actually is not a joke . now i know your mom and i , we did n't give you the best example of how a marriage should work . but we 're sure hoping you and sonny can show us how it 's done . will : thanks . come here . lucas : all right , i love you . will : i love you too , dad . lucas : i 'll see you later . will : yep , all right . lucas : call me if you need anything . will : okay . everything 's coming together . this wedding 's gon na be perfect . nicole : eric and i just want to put the past behind us and focus on the future . hope : i understand . nicole : i blame myself for chyka getting away . and i have no doubt in my mind that he could have cleared eric 's name . hope : you did everything you could ... nicole : yes . hope : right ? nicole : i did . and eric should n't have been forced to leave the priesthood . he should have had a choice . it was n't fair . i worked with him every single day . i know how important his vocation is to him . hope : and it does n't help that the people that took that from him seem to have gotten away with it . nicole : yes . look , eric ... he 's made peace with what happened to him . i believe that . he just wants to move forward with his new life . hope : good . nicole : i need you to know that he says he can find happiness and satisfaction in other ways . hope , he truly is an inspiration . eric : i thought i was gon na be able to get through to you . i see i was wrong . i also thought , maybe ... you can go home again . the idea of being with my family ... seeing each other all again ... sounded pretty great to me . i have no pity on you . i still love you like a brother . so no matter how angry you are or how much you think you hate my guts ... i think you still love me too .

[ knock at door ] daniel : come on in . eric : hey , i 'm sorry to bother you . i was just looking for jennifer . daniel : ah , she just left . eric : not a problem . it 'll keep till tomorrow . actually , i wanted to say i was sorry about ruining your party last night . daniel : ah , no , you did n't ruin it . actually , nicole already apologized . it sounds like you two worked things out , and that 's the important thing . eric : right . daniel : seems like it 's getting pretty serious . eric : it is . daniel : is something wrong ? eric : i do n't think you could understand . daniel : sorry , man . did n't mean to butt in . eric : no , no , you 're not . it just has n't been a great day . that 's all . maybe i should talk to somebody . daniel : well , there you go . look , i 'm no preacher , man , but look , sit down . have a seat . eric : i , uh ... i told nicole i wanted to marry her . now i do n't know if i can go through with it . hope : i 'm really looking forward to this wedding . kayla : yeah . hope : it 's just so great . i mean , it 's so wonderful when two really good people find each other in this crazy , old world of ours , is n't it ? kayla : i know . is n't that true ? hope : yeah . kayla : hey , you know , speaking of good people , i - i just ran into aiden jennings . hope : really ? kayla : yeah . you know him , do n't you ? what do you think of him ?

sonny : no , she was fishing for info . she wanted to make sure that your mom was n't speaking either . and she was like , `` oh , you know , my feelings are n't hurt . just that your father and will 's father and caroline brady are speaking at your wedding and not your own mother , `` but she said it 's gon na be wonderful and it 's gon na be fine . will : [ laughs ] wow . i mean , i wish mine had been that subtle . basically said that if your mom opened her mouth that my mom said she would have a speech prepared . sonny : huh . well , they must be acting like that because they love us so much , right ?

' and he took the children in his arms , put his hands on them , and blessed them . `` charity : hi . where 's your dad ? jessica : he 's helping with an emergency . theresa 's little boy was taken from her by child protective services . charity : what ? why ? jessica : no one knows . that 's what dad 's trying to find out . charity : so much suffering . why is this happening ? why ? rebecca : just my luck father lonigan is blind . otherwise , i could signal him to hurry up so i could watch theresa suffer . julian : you 're all heart , my pet . rebecca : julian , my granddaughter is dead , and all the boo - hooing around here is not going to bring her back . at least i 'm doing something . i 'm doing something to avenge her death . i 'm being biblical . ethan : mother , thank you . that was lovely . ivy : oh , ethan . i am so sorry . and i do n't care how father lonigan tries to soften little sarah 's death . this never should 've happened . theresa : i ca n't lose my baby , whitney . eve : theresa 's no better than she was before . i may have to give her something to help her relax . pilar : when i think of my little grandson being ripped from theresa 's arms by a stranger and taken to a strange place -- it 's too much . fox : i do n't get it . it does n't make any sense . theresa 's a wonderful mother . i remember when i first came back to harmony , we 'd have all these conversations in her room about little ethan . it was totally obvious that he 's her life . whitney : yeah , he still is . theresa : my poor little boy . they got to bring him back to me , mama . they have to . sam : child protective services can not go into someone 's home and just take their child away from them . first an investigation has to happen , proving just cause . an investigation did happen ? and it was determined that theresa was unfit to have custody of her son ? what prompted an investigation in the first place ? a complaint was filed against theresa ? antonio : who would file a complaint against theresa ? luis : what ? sam : look , as chief bennett , i want the name of the person who filed the complaint , and i want it now .

[ bag thuds ] [ scene_break ] devon : i 'm fired 'cause i would n't spy on victor for you and jill ? what happened to you being impressed that i wanted to work for a living and not just live off of katherine 's money ? jack : to tell you the truth , i thought i 'd be doing you a favor cutting you loose . i 've gotten the distinct impression lately that you 're looking for a reason to walk away from jabot . devon : where did you get that impression ? 'cause i 'm on time , i do my job , i meet my deadlines . jack : wow . does that sound exciting . a man who loves his work . i am not looking for executives to punch time cards . i 'm looking for engaged , excited individuals who add to the mix . devon : i 've been that guy . jack : listen to yourself -- past tense . devon , you 've gone through an awful lot lately , having all this money dumped in your lap . i think we 'll agree it has not been an easy thing . add to that the complications in your personal life and -- devon : yes , roxanne broke up with me . she said the money changed me , and she left . and now you 're telling me that i have to walk away from the only thing that i have left ? [ scene_break ] hilary : i hit the call button . jill : obviously the elevator knows not to trust you , either . hilary : or maybe it was you jamming your steam trunk in the door . jill : did you set this up ? is this some sort of scam ? did you futz with this electrical panel ? hilary : oh , yeah , because it 's my dream to be stuck in a cramped , tiny space with you . it 's not gon na be long . let 's not use up the oxygen by talking . jill : or you could just hold your breath for 10 minutes . [ music box plays ] [ music stops ] hilary : it 's -- it 's beautiful . jill : [ scoffs ] see , it just shows your lack of taste . it 's a piece of junk . hilary : i had something like it when i was a kid . i thought it was wonderful . ballerina twirled in front of the mirror as the music played . my parents gave it to me . i pestered them until they promised me dance lessons . of course , it was just a promise -- never happened . jill : why did n't your parents give you dance lessons ?

[ scene_break ] tyler : i mean , i thought you said that you loved living in l.a. while you were growing up . abby : yeah . l.a. is fabulous . what 's not to love besides all the things that people hate ? tyler : [ sighs ] okay , well , is that why you were in a mood the entire time ? i mean , the movie opening , restaurants , museums , shopping . you had that same expression on your face the entire time , no matter how great the spot was . abby : wait , i guess i 'm just confused . so , you wanted me to have fun ? i thought that i was just taking a trip down memory lane with all the places that you went with mariah . tyler : who said that i went there with mariah ? abby : come on . just admit it . you wanted to relive your past , and you dragged me along with you . [ scene_break ] hilary : you want to know about my childhood ? jill : no . please , do n't mistake my total and complete boredom for interest in you . hilary : hmm . that 's a relief . i was worried . jill : but i 'm waiting . hilary : do n't you have a tv in that bag or a three - piece band ? something to entertain you other than me ? jill : listen , little girl , you are the one who broadcast cane and lily and neil 's news to the world . well , now it 's your turn , okay ? why did n't your parents give you ballet lessons ? hilary : my dad was arrested , okay ? after that , no money , no lessons , no nothing . jill : wow . sounds familiar .

alexis : i ca n't . maxie : why not ? alexis : because i 'm the mother of three girls , and when one of them says , `` leave me alone , `` it always means they need me more . john : your husband , this guy franco -- they 're fraternal twins , not identical . sam : right . john : it means their dna 's not identical , either . sam : no , you do n't understand . we did n't test the baby against both , only jason . i mean , why would we ? we had no idea that franco and jason were gon na be brothers -- and let alone twins . i ca n't believe this is happening . john : listen . it 's gon na be okay . sam : no , it is not gon na be okay . do n't you understand ? we finally thought this nightmare was over . john : there 's only one way to know for sure -- run another test against franco 's dna . e sam : no , see -- that 's -- that 's the thing . we ca n't . jason : the strongest piece of evidence they have against you is this gun . sonny : we 're not talking about the gun . jason : i know . no , no . but the gun was found in kate 's office . sonny : i know that , but you 're not listening to me right now . jason : sonny , i 'm just trying to explain . if the gun was planted -- sonny : what do you mean , `` if `` ? hold -- `` if `` ? jason : no , i 'm -- i 'm just trying to get a time line , okay ? i need to know when kate got to the office . was the gun planted before she got in , after she got in ? did she leave the office at some point during the day ? sonny : but you did n't ask about the time line . you asked if the gun was hers . jason : no . sonny : and you were pushing her or whatever you were doing . jason : no . that 's not true . sonny : i - i do n't want to fight about this with you , jason . jason : [ sighs ] sonny : you had blackouts before the procedure . maybe they 're coming back . maybe you should , you know -- you should just go see a doctor again . ewen : i want to help you . connie : yeah . you want to help kate . ewen : ideally , i 'd like to help both of you . connie : oh , really ? well , that 's the spirit , doc . deep down , i knew you 'd come through . ewen : i think we should get started right away . connie : [ chuckling ] oh ! yeah . i mean , who needs johnny and steve when i got you , right ? ewen : we should take this back to my office , then . connie : you mean schedule a couch session for sonny to walk in on ? i like that . ewen : you want sonny to walk in on a session again ? connie : duh . and , you know , uh , we really do n't have to keep calling it a session , doctor . ewen : all right . what should we call it , then ? connie : sex ! footsteps approach ] alexis : do you want me to get you a -- a smaller size in that shirt ? are you comfortable ? maxie : oh , no . the color -- that 's the real problem . talk about washing me out . alexis : well , i wo n't even get you started then on the material . maxie : yeah , not enough hours in the day . alexis : i hope you know what you 're signing yourself up for here -- a lifetime of no feddy , no cartullo , or any of the designers ... re maxie : are you making fun of me ? alexis : no . maxie : you know , not that i would be surprised . i mean , you did n't want kristina to have anything to do with fashion . you would n't even let her take that internship . alexis : it 's a lot more complicated than that . maxie : oh , really ? you thought it was beneath her , right ? alexis : no . i think she was attracted to the glamour of it , but she did n't have a passion for it . you , on the other hand ... maxie : what ? alexis : i was just thinking about your uncle -- when he talks about what you do or what he thinks that you do , and he butchers all the names of the european designers . funny . he 's really proud of you . i mean , he will tell anyone who listens how talented y are . maxie : [ scoffs ] well , you know what ? he has to say that because he loves me . alexis : he does . a lot of people do , not the least of whom are spinelli and matt . spinelli : you believe maxie capable of murder ? matt : do you think that this is easy for me ? you think i 'm enjoying this ? spinelli : that 's not an answer . matt : look , she confessed to not one , but two murders . spinelli : in the throes of grief and emotional turmoil . matt : she had ample time to come forward and say that that was n't true , even when patrick went to go talk to her and says , `` i do n't blame you for robin 's death . `` you would think at that time she would come forward . but maybe the truth is that that she did kill lisa and it happened when she was panicking and -- spinelli : look , you ca n't complete a thought , because it is impossible . spinelli : even -- even if -- if -- maxie killed the heinous dr. niles , there is no way that she plotted the murder of a completely innocent first mate briggs . matt : she confessed . spinelli : she also confessed to killing robin . matt : that -- that is completely different , okay ? we know the bag got caught on the valve and that 's what caused the explosion . it was an accident . spinelli : yeah , but maxie can not accept that . matt : okay , well , maybe there is more to the entire alibi than we really know , okay ? maybe that 's w she does n't have an alibi for what happened that night . why does she know so much about first mate briggs ' fake suicide note ? spinelli : okay , maxie -- maxie is -- is very skilled at manipulating the truth for her purposes . and , yes , she has some association with the elder zacchara , and she may have knowledge of the demise of first mate briggs , but that does t not make her a killer . matt : unfortunately , she managed to convince the judge otherwise . spinelli : that was her goal all along . do n't you see ? if -- if maxie ca n't be punished for the crime that she thinks she committed ... matt : she wants to get punished for a crime that she did n't commit . john : franco spent two extended periods of time in port charles , right ? sam : yeah . john : the first time he was here , his studio was destroyed . but you might be able to retrace his steps from the second time he came , see if maybe he left something behind . sam : no , franco never left anything behind he did n't mean to . wait . except ... john : what ? sam : well , the i.d . bracelet that i got from his mother . john : from when he was born ? you can knock yourself out , but i doubt it 's retaining any dna after so many years . sam : okay . well , then , we 'll never know . john : not necessarily . i think i might be able to help . jason : i do n't need to go back to the doctor . my -- my tests came back clean . i 'm -- i 'm fully recovered . sonny : that 's what we said last summer , and we were wrong . jason : yeah , i know , but i 'm fine . sonny : but not according to kate . wait . i 'm just trying to figure this out . if you 're not getting sick again , why did you disrespect her ? jason : i never disrespected kate . sonny : you do n't like her again ? jason : no , i 'm just trying to figure out how he gun got into the office . sonny : no , this goes back to when michael got shot . kate was with me at the warehouse . you blamed her for everything . jason : no , i did n't . sonny : and then , remember , we were waiting for michael to come out of the surgery , and you looked at her like she had no right to be standing next to me , and you completely blamed her for everything , and that 's kind of the feeling i 'm getting right now . if the gun was planted , how can it be kate 's fault ? jason : i never said it was kate 's fault . sonny : but that 's what she said . why would she lie ? jason : i have no idea . i 'm telling you right now , that 's not what happened . sonny : hold on . hold on . you know what she said ? that you lost it . jason : me ? that i lost it ? sonny : yeah . that you came at her , calling her names . you were like a different p -- what are you doing ? why are you doing that ? jason : if anyone was n't acting like themself , it was kate . elizabeth : hi , kate . connie : hey , how you doing ? am i missing something ? ewen : you 're sitting in elizabeth 's seat . connie : oh . oh ! you two are on a date . ewen : we are . connie : that explains your cold feet . elizabeth : cold feet ? ewen : why do n't we pick this up another time , kate ? connie : doctor , you always say time is of the essence . elizabeth : if you guys have business to discuss , um , i will take a rain check on that dessert . ewen : no , that wo n't be necessary . connie : no , no . i would n't dream of it . pull up a chair . maxie : you 're lying . alexis : no , i swear . they almost came to blows over who was more important to you . maxie : matt and spinelli ? wow . actually , i 'm not that surprised about spinelli . i mean , he 's always trying to act like a tough guy , which is absurd , 'cause that 's not really who he is . i mean , he 's incredibly brave . you know , he totally saved my life last summer . but that does n't mean that he should go around carrying a gun or punching people . i mean , spinelli is a genius , and i just do n't mean that he 's intelligent , you know ? he 's really intuitive , too , and i he 's just so good at understanding people . i just wish that he could trust that about himself . alexis : maybe you could tell him that . maxie : matt -- he 's in good shape , but he 's also a brilliant surgeon , a , you know , he should n't go around risking his hands , especially not fighting spinelli , especially not over me . alexis : why not over you ? maxie : 'cause we broke up . i mean -- i do n't know . to be honest , i do n't think matt and i probably should have ever been in a relationship in the first place . i mean , do n't get me wrong . i like him . sometimes i like him a lot . but , i do n't know , other times -- i think that he gets on my last nerve , and i think i probably do the same thing for him , but ... i do n't know . matt and i -- we just -- we do n't really communicate well , not like me and spinelli . you know , with spinelli , it 's like sometimes i have no idea what he 's saying , but i know exactly what he means . but matt and spinelli should n't be fighting over me at all or for me , and -- you know what ? -- neither should you . matt : i got to go talk some sense into her . i got to go . spinelli : what ? matt : she ca n't punish herself like this . it 's wrong . spinelli : exactly the sentiment that i share when i 'll see her . matt : we 're not doing this again . matt : we will if we have to . matt : look , i am her boyfriend . spinelli : it was my distinct impression that you were taking a break . matt : well , we should n't be . spinelli : would maxie agree ? matt : i do n't know . i will ask her when i see her . spinelli : no , no , no . i 'm not gon na let you trade on a brief and trivial relationship that caused maxie more heartache than joy just to pull rank . matt : like what you were doing left and right ? i am her boyfriend . spinelli : i am her best friend . matt : i love her . spinelli : so do i . matt : so -- so , w - what are we doing ? spinelli : what we always do . our default setting . matt : these spitting matches are not helping anyone . they 're definitely not helping maxie . spinelli : we both have tried to appeal to her in our own ways , and she wo n't listen to either of us . matt : you were right . spinelli : i was ? matt : we do have to work together on this . and we have to step it up . alexis : well , with all due respect , you did n't hire me . your uncle did . mac is probably the most decent man i know . he 's a good friend . he 's very supportive and actually very gracious during the excruciating holiday matchming . maxie : look , i know this is hard on him . alexis : hard ? maxie , no . it 's devastating . as painful as it 's been for him to lose georgie and now robin , it 's even more painful for him to watch you willingly throw your life away . maxie : georgie and robin were the good ones , okay ? i 'm not , so mac just needs to accept that and -- and let it go . alexis : well , he wo n't . for his sake , neither will i , so here 's what i 'm gon na suggest -- that you stop pushing me away and you start talking to me before you do something that can not be undone . john : obviously the fbi -- they had a file on franco , and they interviewed him several times about various murders over the years . nothing ever stuck . sam : i do n't see how any of that can help me . john : franco 's dead . the cases he was a suspect in -- they 're still open . sam : okay , wait . so -- so what you 're telling me is there could still be dna on franco on file somewhere ? john : that 's what i 'm telling you . and i still have a few friends over at the fbi . i mean , maybe they could arrange for another sample . sam : really ? john : yeah . then you and jason could do another dna test . sam : okay . um , wait a minute . jason ca n't know about any of this . jason : i know that kate 's worried about you , and i know she got pretty wound up after you got shot . sonny : so she 's imagining things ? jason : well , she 's not used to guns . she 's not used to murder investigations . maybe when i was asking her questions , she thought i was accusing her , but i was n't . sonny : she says you were hostile , that you were threatening . jason : sonny , that is not what happened . she 's the one who went off on me . sonny : man , i 'm not buying all this . jason : she started calling me names . she called me your lapdog . sonny : that does n't sound like her , though . jason : i understand that . that 's exactly why -- sonny : that 's exactly why what ? connie : you mind ? elizabeth : no , please . help yourself . connie : oh ! mmm ! mmm ! oh ! wow . that is sinful . [ inhales deeply ] ooh ! [ chuckles ] speaking of , how 's the sex ? elizabeth : excuse me ? connie : well , you know , just always wondered what it was like between the sheets with ewen . i mean , he obviously works out . he got a tight , nice bod under all those clothes . does he have the stamina to go with it ? ewen : it 's our first date . connie : so ? elizabeth : okay , well , this has been a lot of fun , but i 've left epiphany hanging long enough . i need to get back to work . connie : but , uh , can i -- can i have the rest of this ? elizabeth : knock yourself out . connie : thank ewen : i 'm so -- i 'm so sorry . elizabeth : is she drunk or something ? ewen : uh , kate 's having an off day . elizabeth : understatement . ewen : i hope we can do this again sometime -- not -- not this , exactly , you know what i mean . elizabeth : me too . connie : fun hanging out with you , lizzie . yes ! tsk . was it something i said ? ewen : try everything you said . why would you deliberately try to embarrass my date ? connie : poor ewen . i do n't know . she looked a little disappointed to me . i think she was looking forward to a little different type of dessert , if you ask me . do n't worry , 'cause i 'm gon na take you places that you ai n't never been before . ewen : what are you doing ? connie : i 'm just sizing up the goods . very impressive . ewen : this is n't funny . connie : do i look like i 'm laughing , doc ? ewen : kate , do n't let connie do this . she 's controlling you . fight your way back , kate . fight , kate . jason : the first time you and kate were together , she wanted you out of the business , and you agreed . that was your call . she does n't like what you do for work . she does n't like how i 'm connected to it . she does not like carly -- sonny : op . , i do n't want to hear carly , 'cause -- i do n't want to hear that she 's the only woman in the world who can deal with my business and ka 's too fragile to deal with me or my life . jason : kate is pretty flipped out about everything that 's happened . sonny : there are only two people who believe in me , and that is you and kate . carly , practically to my face , said i was guilty . jason : sonny , i was here . she said she wants to believe in you , but she has doubts . sonny : doubts ? two kids , four marriages , you 're gon na have doubts ? jason : i think kate does , too . she just does n't want to say anything . sonny : what does that mean ? jason : i think that 's why she went off about the gun . she got upset because she 's afraid it 's yours , and she 's afraid that you might be guilty , and she does n't want to admit it . sonny : ' su y t like te -that 's fine -- but to pressure her -- jason : to pressure her ? it 's not what happened . sonny : then why does kate say it did ? ! jason : i - i think -- i think something 's wrong with kate . connie : oh ! [ chuckling ] well . the good doctor likes it rough . i like that . ewen : listen to me , kate . connie : what ? ewen : listen , kate . you need to be stronger than connie . connie : she 's not . she never was . she never will be . ewen : i know you 're in there , kate . connie : stop it . ewen : i know you can hear me . you need to follow my voice ... connie : get out of my face . ewen : ... and force your way out . connie : no ! ewen : you need to follow my voice , kate . you have the determination to transform yourself . you have to reclaim yourself . reclaim your life . you can do it , kate . come on . come back , kate . kate ! kate it 's okay . kate : oh . what -- how did i get here ? ewen : welcome back . kate : connie . alexis : i understand grief . i understand guilt . i know what it 's like to want to be able to take your actions back or to have one last conversation with someone and say you 're sorry -- maxie : have you ever killed someone that you loved ? alexis : no . maxie : then you do n't understand , so there 's no point in having this conversation . alexis : maxie , please let me help you . maxie : you should go home to sam . she 's waiting for you . alexis : all right . i want to leave you with one last thought . maxie : go for it . alexis : if you did not kill those people , it 'll come out , because e truth always has ago way of doing that . [ sighs ] [ door opens , closes ] spinelli : i 've obtained a copy of the official police file . matt : and what did you come up with ? spinelli : well , i 've gone through backwards and forwards , and there has to be a missing element . matt : clearly . otherwise , the cops would have come up with the real killer . spinelli : right . right . but all is not lost . it might be time - consuming , but we have to start the top , consider all the suspects that the authorities have n't . matt : you got anybody in mind ? spinelli : we could start with her . ewen : what 's the last thing you remember ? kate : um ... uh , i was in my office , and jason was there . he was asking me about the gun and how it got there . ewen : did he accuse you ? kate : [ scoffs ] you 've never dealt with jason , have you ? it 's not what he says . it 's how he looks at you . me . i know he do n't like me . he does n't think sonny and i should be together , that i 'm too frivolous . god . if he only knew . ewen : what did he say about the gun ? kate : uh , i do n't remember his exact words , but he wanted to know about my movements the entire day . he wanted know what i did when i got to work , if i sat behind my desk , where i went . and then at one point , he asked me if i -- if i was around the area where the gun was covered . i - i think that he thinks the gun t is mine , that i put it there . but i do n't know how he could think that . he does n't know about connie . ewen : i take it you were frightened . kate : i was terrified . jason -- he is a very strange person -- cold and distant -- e and he notices everything , and i know that he could tell something was wrong with me . ewen : that 's what must have triggered connie taking over . kate : what am i doing here ? ewen : among other things , uh , crashing my lunch date . kate : oh , i 'm sorry . ewen : do n't be . kate : she was horrible ? ewen : she had her moments . most notable ... kate : what ? [ sighs ] what ? just say it . ewen : connie made a pass at me . sonny : what do you mean , something is wrong with kate ? jason : she was just -- she was acting strange . sonny : maybe she did n't like you going into her office , making accusations . jason : sonny , i never accused her of anything . i just asked her to walk me through the day the gun was found . that 's it . i was just trying to get a time line , and she kept asking me if i knew who she was . sonny : what did you say ? jason : i - i tried to calm her down . that only made things worse . she said that she was always gon na be first in your life . that if i crossed her again , that i was gon na regret it . sonny : what do you expect me to do with this ? jason : i do n't know . nothing . look , i know that you love kate . i 'm not trying to get in the way . sonny : then what are you trying to do ? jason : giving you warning . john : look , i 'm not suggesting you tell jason i arranged for the sample . sam : no , i do n't want to tell him at all . john : that you 're running a dna test ? sam : [ scoffs ] when jason finds out that franco was n't just his brother but his twin , it 's -- it 's gon na kill him . john : yeah , i know . i - i realize it 's gon na be a bit of a shock . sam : a shock ? that is an understatement . jason and franco -- they despised each other . jason hated him so much that- he -- i just -- i do n't -- i do n't want jason to get consumed with hate . i mean , i wo n't allow that to happen again . john : hey , listen , i do n't know your guy , all right , and i 'm pretty sure he 's gon na end up giving me a headache , but he deserves to know what 's going on . sam : i 'm gon na tell him . i mean , i 'm gon na tell him what 's going on . that 's what i plan on doing . i just want to -- i want to wait until i have all of the dna information . i mean , this way , i know what i 'm dealing with . john : meale , you 're going it alone . sam : i can take it . john : i bet you he 'd say the same thing . sam : hopefully -- this is what i 'm thinking -- hopefully you can get the dna test in and it 's gon na prove that jason 's the father of my baby . and this way , i can deliver the good news with the bad . i mean , wo n't that make it easier ? john : no . spinelli : greetings . elizabeth : hi . spinelli : hey . elizabeth : hi . spinelli : perhaps you recall when i asked for your assistance in proving maxie 's innocence . elizabeth : yeah , i remember e what do you need ? spinelli : okay . uh , well , the night of the party - boat scandal , made an early exit , correct ? elizabeth : uh , if that 's what you want to call being thrown overboard . spinelli : well , prior to that unfortunate incident , do -do you recall any of the goings - on at sea ? elizabeth : you know , i - i gave statement to the police . spinelli : oh , no , i 'm -- i 'm aware of your statement . elizabeth : you are ? spinelli : have you remembered anything since ? elizabeth : like what ? spinelli : i do n't know . something you -- you heard or someone you saw . matt : spinelli 's not trying to accuse you of anything . maxie 's innocent . we 're just trying to prove that it was somebody else on board who actually killed lisa . elizabeth : i know , and i wish there was something i could tell you guys , but the last time i saw lisa , she was very much alive . the next thing i knew , i was being pulled out of the water by -- matt : by some mystery guy with some ripped abs . spinelli : perhaps he s the answers that we seek . elizabeth : actually , he 's not a mystery anymore . matt : you actually know who that is ? elizabeth : dr. keenan . kate : i ca n't believe i hit on my own psychiatrist . what was i thinking ? ewen : you were n't thinking . it was connie . kate : fine . what was she thinking ? ewen : it was all part of her big plan . what ? to break up me and sonny . ewe i believe connie wanted to arrange for sonny to walk in on me having sex with her . kate : oh , my go oh , my god ! i do you think that 's the thing that johnny called off ? ewen : i do . it also appears that connie propositioned state webber . kate : [ exhales sharply ] my cousin 's boyfriend ? ewen : hey , do n't worry . he -- he turned r down . kate : i 'm not worried about that . god , this is out of control , doctor . [ sighs ] what am i gon na do ? ewen : how about we go back to my office and figure it out ? kate : all right . sonny : so , are you gon na warn me now ? jason : i 'm just -- i 'm just telling you what happened . kate was angry . she was emotional . she blew up out of nowhere , and it happened when i asked her about the gun . sonny : let 's get this straight . let 's get this thing straight , please . kate had nothing to do with the gun or that accident . johnny zacchara plted the gun . if you want to protect me , that 's what you need to focus on . [ cell phone chimes ] sonny : you -- okay , that 's kate . she wants me to meet her at the metro court . so , i am not gon na mention this to her . i - i want this to be over . jason : i understand . sonny : now , your -- your loyalty means everything to me . you know that . but , you know , i am committed to her . jason : i know . sonny : i do n't want any more misunderstandings , so , just for now , can you just stay away from her ? [ sighs ] [ door opens , closes ] sam : i have jason , and i 'm -- i 'm doing this for him . john : all i know is keeping secrets like this -- it never ends well . sam : no , this is different from your situation . john : you know , do n't know about any of that . natalie lied to me about our son , and she said she was doing it to protect me . sam : okay . so i take it natalie lied to you about something huge , then . john : yeah , you know , she thought she was doing the right thing . you know , she would have kept it up forever . she -- sam : i 'm not planning on keeping this up forever . i 'm t gon na lie to jason forever . i 'm gon na wait until the dna test comes in . hopefully jason is the baby 's dad , and then i can soften the blow . i mean , i just want to spas my husband a little bit of pain . what 's wrong with that ? john : [ scoffs ] that 's exactly what natalie said . do ever think maybe we do n't want to be spared ? now , look . just think about it , okay ? sam : [ sighs ] john : i 'm gon na -- i 'm gon na get you the -- get you they ? sample , all right ? sam : okay . john : is there somewhere i can contact you ? sam : yeah . of course . um ... so listen -- [ sighs ] the -- the second number is my cell . john : okay . sam : but if you leave a message ... john : i 'll be discreet . all right ? sam : thank you . john : listen , if you need to get in touch with me beforehand , this is my card . sam : okay . john : um , and , listen , no matter what you decide -- and i me this -- we never had this conversation . sam : okay . thank you . john : okay . sam : [ chuckling ] okay . john : all right . alexis : i never knew rejection took this long . hi . i 'm alexis davis , and , you are ... john : i 'm john mcbain . i 'm here to talk to you about the restraining order , but , by the way , might i say that was very thorough . you excellent work . alexis : thank you -- i think . uh , we 're gon na have to postpone this discussion , because i have a meeting with my daughter . sam : actually , mom , i - i think i 'm gon na be okay . alexis : are you sure ? sam : [ chuckles ] i think so . thank you . [ door closes alexis : what the hell just happened here ? alexis : it 's always lovely to have someone enthusiastic about your work . it still does n't change the fact , no matter how flattered i am , that you are legally barred from approaching by client . john : well , not exactly . not anymore . alexis : i 'm afraid you 're mistaken . john : has sonny ever mentioned how he knows me ? alexis : i think he 's more concerned about you violating his rights and his privacy . john : that 's a good one . i was assigned to investigate sonny when i was with the fbi . alexis : hmm . whatever your background , you are currently a lieutenant in the llanview , pennsylvania , p.d . , which puts you substantially out of your jurisdiction . john : hmm . oh , i forgot . i have something for you . have a look at that . f i 've been granted a federal allowance , which renders your beautifully crafted , although slightly verbose , restraining order null and void . alexis : i 'm going to have to check to authenticate this . john : yeah , keep one . i made you a copy . the director 's phone number 's right here . you can give him a call and verify everything . alexis : since when do the feds empower a local police officer ? john : since they want your client as badly as i do . with this little piece of paper , i can sing karaoke on his front lawn . there 's nothing you can do about it . it 's really nice meeting you , counselor . [ door closes ] alexis : i have accomplished absolutely nothing today . [ kicks furniture ] ow . maxie : why wo n't they just send me away already ? spinelli : it would be a miscarriage of justice . and we would miss you . maxie : i 'm not miss - able . i 'm a murderer . spinelli : your heart is kind , maxie . it 's pure . maxie : it was when it belonged to b.j . spinelli : your soul is that of an angel . maxie : god , stop it ! for once , will you just see me for who i really am , spinelli ? i am a shallow , selfish , worthless ell ! spinelli : maxie , what i see is someone who has lost so much , she does n't know where to put her pain . and i also see someone who is deftly skilled at twisting the truth to her advantage , or i this case , maxie , your [ echoing ] disadvantage . spinelli : this is most fortuitous . matt : it is . spinelli : yeah . perhaps dr. keenan saw something that could help exonerate maxie . elizabeth : i doubt it .. he said he had to get right back to wyndemere after he pulled me out of the water . matt : why did n't he say anything up until now ?

sam : [ chuckling ] jason : i was just ... sam : calling me . jason : ... calling you . sam : hi . oh , it 's so good to see you . jason : spinelli said you went out . where 'd you go ? sam : um , i went to my mom 's house . jason : hmm . ferncliff . sam : yes . jason : did you get the answers you were looking for ?

spinelli : we just join forces to save maxie . matt : i 'm sorry . are you talking to me ? spinelli : my words were intended for no one else . s matt : are you serious ? you do realize that we fight all the time ? we agree on nothing . spinelli : except for the most important thing . maxie did not kill lisa niles , ? and we have to find out who did . ni maxie : ew . you 're my visitor ? alexis : do n't look too excited to see me . maxie : why ? it 's over . i pled guilty . alexis : a plea i just spent a half - hour trying to get thrown out . maxie : why ? you ca n't just do that . alexis : just relax . i lost . maxie : good . alexis : good ? why are you so desperate to land yourself in prison ? connie : what 's your grin about , doc ? ewen : connie ? connie : in the flesh . ewen : how long have you been in control ? connie : hey , relax , doc . today 's your lucky day , 'cause i 'm gon na give you something to really smile about . jason : yeah , i went to see kate this morning . sonny : yeah , yeah , she told me . jason : yeah , i was just , you know , gon na ask her about the day the gun was recovered from her office . sonny : questioning her is one thing , but accusing her -- that 's another thing . ewen : now i understand why kate missed her appointment . connie : that 's right . i 'm back . ewen : who are you texting connie : and ruin the fun ? i 'm not gon na tell you . do n't worry . i got this . ewen : and what exactly is `` this `` ? connie : i 'll give you a hint . make it two . it involves you , and you 're gon na have a kick - ass time doing it . sonny : i mean , i - i know that you had your problems in the past , but , you know , i thought that was behind you , right ? jason : what did -- what did she say to you ? sonny : that you two had a blowout . are you gon na say something different ? sam : i ca n't keep doing this . i should have never said anything to you . john : well , you needed to tell someone . sam : yeah , my husband , who 's never gon na understand why i said something to you first . john : well , you know , sometimes it 's just easier talking to a stranger -- one you might have known in another life . sam : [ scoffs ] yeah , but in this life , you are trying to take down my husband 's best friend . john : it 's not about him . it 's -- we 're two people talking . you 're upset . i wanted to help . sam : it 's not like it really makes a difference , anyway , you know , saying it out loud -- this baby could be franco 's . john : you ca n't be certain . sam : it sure is a possibility , though . jason and franco were twins , which means the dna was totally meaningless . john : not necessarily . spinelli : the agents of law enforcement are stymied , okay ? maximista 's guilty plea has tied their hands , but we -- we can operate outside the system and vindicate her . matt : i understand that you 're worried about her , as am i , but we really just need to let alexis do her job . spinelli : there 's nothing left to do . the judge has accepted maximista 's guilty plea . all that 's left is her sentencing . matt : i understand how it works , thank you very much . spinelli : well , then , why are you not more upset ? i mean , alexis can argue for lenience , but then what ? shave a few years off a life sentence ? matt : i get it . i get it . it -- it -- it sucks . it sucks . spinelli : i ca n't believe what i 'm hearing . your -- your tone is conveying acceptance , even resignation . do i have to remind you that maxie is innocent ? matt : i would like to believe that , but what if she 's not ? maxie : i do n't want to go to prison , but that 's what happens to people who kill other people . alexis : you mean like lisa niles ? maxie : yes . alexis : and first mate briggs ? maxie : are we making a list ? alexis : how 'd you do it ? maxie : what ? alexis : how 'd you kill him ? maxie : why does that even matter ? alexis : oh , well , it may -- it may affect your sentencing . there could be mitigating circumstances . maxie : there were n't . alexis : just try me , maxie . maxie : alexis , is n't there something better that you could be doing ? alexis : actually , maxie , there is . my daughter sam , visibly upset , came to my house , and i left her to come over here and be with you . maxie : okay , so go . she obviously needs you . alexis : so do you -- more than you know . maxie : [ scoffs ] alexis : clearly , you think you 're focused right now . you are n't . you 're in the throes of post - traumatic stress . your actions are n't rational , but they will have consequences . maxie : please , alexis , can you just leave me alone ? alexis : i ca n't . maxie : why not ? alexis : because i 'm the mother of three girls , and when one of them says , `` leave me alone , `` it always means they need me more . john : your husband , this guy franco -- they 're fraternal twins , not identical . sam : right . john : it means their dna 's not identical , either . sam : no , you do n't understand . we did n't test the baby against both , only jason . i mean , why would we ? we had no idea that franco and jason were gon na be brothers -- and let alone twins . i ca n't believe this is happening . john : listen . it 's gon na be okay . sam : no , it is not gon na be okay . do n't you understand ? we finally thought this nightmare was over . john : there 's only one way to know for sure -- run another test against franco 's dna . e sam : no , see -- that 's -- that 's the thing . we ca n't . jason : the strongest piece of evidence they have against you is this gun . sonny : we 're not talking about the gun . jason : i know . no , no . but the gun was found in kate 's office . sonny : i know that , but you 're not listening to me right now . jason : sonny , i 'm just trying to explain . if the gun was planted -- sonny : what do you mean , `` if `` ? hold -- `` if `` ? jason : no , i 'm -- i 'm just trying to get a time line , okay ? i need to know when kate got to the office . was the gun planted before she got in , after she got in ? did she leave the office at some point during the day ? sonny : but you did n't ask about the time line . you asked if the gun was hers . jason : no . sonny : and you were pushing her or whatever you were doing . jason : no . that 's not true . sonny : i - i do n't want to fight about this with you , jason . jason : [ sighs ] sonny : you had blackouts before the procedure . maybe they 're coming back . maybe you should , you know -- you should just go see a doctor again . ewen : i want to help you . connie : yeah . you want to help kate . ewen : ideally , i 'd like to help both of you . connie : oh , really ? well , that 's the spirit , doc . deep down , i knew you 'd come through . ewen : i think we should get started right away . connie : [ chuckling ] oh ! yeah . i mean , who needs johnny and steve when i got you , right ? ewen : we should take this back to my office , then . connie : you mean schedule a couch session for sonny to walk in on ? i like that . ewen : you want sonny to walk in on a session again ? connie : duh . and , you know , uh , we really do n't have to keep calling it a session , doctor . ewen : all right . what should we call it , then ? connie : sex ! footsteps approach ] alexis : do you want me to get you a -- a smaller size in that shirt ? are you comfortable ? maxie : oh , no . the color -- that 's the real problem . talk about washing me out . alexis : well , i wo n't even get you started then on the material . maxie : yeah , not enough hours in the day . alexis : i hope you know what you 're signing yourself up for here -- a lifetime of no feddy , no cartullo , or any of the designers ... re maxie : are you making fun of me ? alexis : no . maxie : you know , not that i would be surprised . i mean , you did n't want kristina to have anything to do with fashion . you would n't even let her take that internship . alexis : it 's a lot more complicated than that . maxie : oh , really ? you thought it was beneath her , right ? alexis : no . i think she was attracted to the glamour of it , but she did n't have a passion for it . you , on the other hand ... maxie : what ? alexis : i was just thinking about your uncle -- when he talks about what you do or what he thinks that you do , and he butchers all the names of the european designers . funny . he 's really proud of you . i mean , he will tell anyone who listens how talented y are . maxie : [ scoffs ] well , you know what ? he has to say that because he loves me . alexis : he does . a lot of people do , not the least of whom are spinelli and matt . spinelli : you believe maxie capable of murder ? matt : do you think that this is easy for me ? you think i 'm enjoying this ? spinelli : that 's not an answer . matt : look , she confessed to not one , but two murders . spinelli : in the throes of grief and emotional turmoil . matt : she had ample time to come forward and say that that was n't true , even when patrick went to go talk to her and says , `` i do n't blame you for robin 's death . `` you would think at that time she would come forward . but maybe the truth is that that she did kill lisa and it happened when she was panicking and -- spinelli : look , you ca n't complete a thought , because it is impossible . spinelli : even -- even if -- if -- maxie killed the heinous dr. niles , there is no way that she plotted the murder of a completely innocent first mate briggs . matt : she confessed . spinelli : she also confessed to killing robin . matt : that -- that is completely different , okay ? we know the bag got caught on the valve and that 's what caused the explosion . it was an accident . spinelli : yeah , but maxie can not accept that . matt : okay , well , maybe there is more to the entire alibi than we really know , okay ? maybe that 's w she does n't have an alibi for what happened that night . why does she know so much about first mate briggs ' fake suicide note ? spinelli : okay , maxie -- maxie is -- is very skilled at manipulating the truth for her purposes . and , yes , she has some association with the elder zacchara , and she may have knowledge of the demise of first mate briggs , but that does t not make her a killer . matt : unfortunately , she managed to convince the judge otherwise . spinelli : that was her goal all along . do n't you see ? if -- if maxie ca n't be punished for the crime that she thinks she committed ... matt : she wants to get punished for a crime that she did n't commit . john : franco spent two extended periods of time in port charles , right ? sam : yeah . john : the first time he was here , his studio was destroyed . but you might be able to retrace his steps from the second time he came , see if maybe he left something behind . sam : no , franco never left anything behind he did n't mean to . wait . except ... john : what ? sam : well , the i.d . bracelet that i got from his mother . john : from when he was born ? you can knock yourself out , but i doubt it 's retaining any dna after so many years . sam : okay . well , then , we 'll never know . john : not necessarily . i think i might be able to help . jason : i do n't need to go back to the doctor . my -- my tests came back clean . i 'm -- i 'm fully recovered . sonny : that 's what we said last summer , and we were wrong . jason : yeah , i know , but i 'm fine . sonny : but not according to kate . wait . i 'm just trying to figure this out . if you 're not getting sick again , why did you disrespect her ? jason : i never disrespected kate . sonny : you do n't like her again ? jason : no , i 'm just trying to figure out how he gun got into the office . sonny : no , this goes back to when michael got shot . kate was with me at the warehouse . you blamed her for everything . jason : no , i did n't . sonny : and then , remember , we were waiting for michael to come out of the surgery , and you looked at her like she had no right to be standing next to me , and you completely blamed her for everything , and that 's kind of the feeling i 'm getting right now . if the gun was planted , how can it be kate 's fault ? jason : i never said it was kate 's fault . sonny : but that 's what she said . why would she lie ? jason : i have no idea . i 'm telling you right now , that 's not what happened . sonny : hold on . hold on . you know what she said ? that you lost it . jason : me ? that i lost it ? sonny : yeah . that you came at her , calling her names . you were like a different p -- what are you doing ? why are you doing that ? jason : if anyone was n't acting like themself , it was kate . elizabeth : hi , kate . connie : hey , how you doing ? am i missing something ? ewen : you 're sitting in elizabeth 's seat . connie : oh . oh ! you two are on a date . ewen : we are . connie : that explains your cold feet . elizabeth : cold feet ? ewen : why do n't we pick this up another time , kate ? connie : doctor , you always say time is of the essence . elizabeth : if you guys have business to discuss , um , i will take a rain check on that dessert . ewen : no , that wo n't be necessary . connie : no , no . i would n't dream of it . pull up a chair . maxie : you 're lying . alexis : no , i swear . they almost came to blows over who was more important to you . maxie : matt and spinelli ? wow . actually , i 'm not that surprised about spinelli . i mean , he 's always trying to act like a tough guy , which is absurd , 'cause that 's not really who he is . i mean , he 's incredibly brave . you know , he totally saved my life last summer . but that does n't mean that he should go around carrying a gun or punching people . i mean , spinelli is a genius , and i just do n't mean that he 's intelligent , you know ? he 's really intuitive , too , and i he 's just so good at understanding people . i just wish that he could trust that about himself . alexis : maybe you could tell him that . maxie : matt -- he 's in good shape , but he 's also a brilliant surgeon , a , you know , he should n't go around risking his hands , especially not fighting spinelli , especially not over me . alexis : why not over you ? maxie : 'cause we broke up . i mean -- i do n't know . to be honest , i do n't think matt and i probably should have ever been in a relationship in the first place . i mean , do n't get me wrong . i like him . sometimes i like him a lot . but , i do n't know , other times -- i think that he gets on my last nerve , and i think i probably do the same thing for him , but ... i do n't know . matt and i -- we just -- we do n't really communicate well , not like me and spinelli . you know , with spinelli , it 's like sometimes i have no idea what he 's saying , but i know exactly what he means . but matt and spinelli should n't be fighting over me at all or for me , and -- you know what ? -- neither should you . matt : i got to go talk some sense into her . i got to go . spinelli : what ? matt : she ca n't punish herself like this . it 's wrong . spinelli : exactly the sentiment that i share when i 'll see her . matt : we 're not doing this again . matt : we will if we have to . matt : look , i am her boyfriend . spinelli : it was my distinct impression that you were taking a break . matt : well , we should n't be . spinelli : would maxie agree ? matt : i do n't know . i will ask her when i see her . spinelli : no , no , no . i 'm not gon na let you trade on a brief and trivial relationship that caused maxie more heartache than joy just to pull rank . matt : like what you were doing left and right ? i am her boyfriend . spinelli : i am her best friend . matt : i love her . spinelli : so do i . matt : so -- so , w - what are we doing ? spinelli : what we always do . our default setting . matt : these spitting matches are not helping anyone . they 're definitely not helping maxie . spinelli : we both have tried to appeal to her in our own ways , and she wo n't listen to either of us . matt : you were right . spinelli : i was ? matt : we do have to work together on this . and we have to step it up . alexis : well , with all due respect , you did n't hire me . your uncle did . mac is probably the most decent man i know . he 's a good friend . he 's very supportive and actually very gracious during the excruciating holiday matchming . maxie : look , i know this is hard on him . alexis : hard ? maxie , no . it 's devastating . as painful as it 's been for him to lose georgie and now robin , it 's even more painful for him to watch you willingly throw your life away . maxie : georgie and robin were the good ones , okay ? i 'm not , so mac just needs to accept that and -- and let it go . alexis : well , he wo n't . for his sake , neither will i , so here 's what i 'm gon na suggest -- that you stop pushing me away and you start talking to me before you do something that can not be undone . john : obviously the fbi -- they had a file on franco , and they interviewed him several times about various murders over the years . nothing ever stuck . sam : i do n't see how any of that can help me . john : franco 's dead . the cases he was a suspect in -- they 're still open . sam : okay , wait . so -- so what you 're telling me is there could still be dna on franco on file somewhere ? john : that 's what i 'm telling you . and i still have a few friends over at the fbi . i mean , maybe they could arrange for another sample . sam : really ? john : yeah . then you and jason could do another dna test . sam : okay . um , wait a minute . jason ca n't know about any of this . jason : i know that kate 's worried about you , and i know she got pretty wound up after you got shot . sonny : so she 's imagining things ? jason : well , she 's not used to guns . she 's not used to murder investigations . maybe when i was asking her questions , she thought i was accusing her , but i was n't . sonny : she says you were hostile , that you were threatening . jason : sonny , that is not what happened . she 's the one who went off on me . sonny : man , i 'm not buying all this . jason : she started calling me names . she called me your lapdog . sonny : that does n't sound like her , though . jason : i understand that . that 's exactly why -- sonny : that 's exactly why what ? connie : you mind ? elizabeth : no , please . help yourself . connie : oh ! mmm ! mmm ! oh ! wow . that is sinful . [ inhales deeply ] ooh ! [ chuckles ] speaking of , how 's the sex ? elizabeth : excuse me ? connie : well , you know , just always wondered what it was like between the sheets with ewen . i mean , he obviously works out . he got a tight , nice bod under all those clothes . does he have the stamina to go with it ? ewen : it 's our first date . connie : so ? elizabeth : okay , well , this has been a lot of fun , but i 've left epiphany hanging long enough . i need to get back to work . connie : but , uh , can i -- can i have the rest of this ? elizabeth : knock yourself out . connie : thank ewen : i 'm so -- i 'm so sorry . elizabeth : is she drunk or something ? ewen : uh , kate 's having an off day . elizabeth : understatement . ewen : i hope we can do this again sometime -- not -- not this , exactly , you know what i mean . elizabeth : me too . connie : fun hanging out with you , lizzie . yes ! tsk . was it something i said ? ewen : try everything you said . why would you deliberately try to embarrass my date ? connie : poor ewen . i do n't know . she looked a little disappointed to me . i think she was looking forward to a little different type of dessert , if you ask me . do n't worry , 'cause i 'm gon na take you places that you ai n't never been before . ewen : what are you doing ? connie : i 'm just sizing up the goods . very impressive . ewen : this is n't funny . connie : do i look like i 'm laughing , doc ? ewen : kate , do n't let connie do this . she 's controlling you . fight your way back , kate . fight , kate . jason : the first time you and kate were together , she wanted you out of the business , and you agreed . that was your call . she does n't like what you do for work . she does n't like how i 'm connected to it . she does not like carly -- sonny : op . , i do n't want to hear carly , 'cause -- i do n't want to hear that she 's the only woman in the world who can deal with my business and ka 's too fragile to deal with me or my life . jason : kate is pretty flipped out about everything that 's happened . sonny : there are only two people who believe in me , and that is you and kate . carly , practically to my face , said i was guilty . jason : sonny , i was here . she said she wants to believe in you , but she has doubts . sonny : doubts ? two kids , four marriages , you 're gon na have doubts ? jason : i think kate does , too . she just does n't want to say anything . sonny : what does that mean ? jason : i think that 's why she went off about the gun . she got upset because she 's afraid it 's yours , and she 's afraid that you might be guilty , and she does n't want to admit it . sonny : ' su y t like te -that 's fine -- but to pressure her -- jason : to pressure her ? it 's not what happened . sonny : then why does kate say it did ? ! jason : i - i think -- i think something 's wrong with kate . connie : oh !

chelsea : uh , normally , i think he would love that , especially spending time with his cousins , but , to be honest , he 's had a lot of anxiety lately and nightmares . plus , i worry it 's too long for him to be away from his dad . so ... victor : mm - hmm . nick : uh , yeah , it 's not something we can give you an answer about right now , but we will definitely discuss it and get back to you . victor : all right , son , why do n't you and i go down and get the kids , okay ? nick : yeah . chelsea : you know what , i 'm gon na go wash my hands before dinner . excuse me . nikki : maybe it was a mistake to bring up switzerland . victoria : things have been a little strained between nick and chelsea , with her staying at adam 's . nikki : oh ! yes , of course . i mean , how could they not be ? victoria : nick wants to fix things , but there 's only so much he can do about connor . i mean , he 's the guy who 's with his mother . he 's not his dad . billy : i 've been there . victoria : but you were wonderful with reed when he was going through everything with j.t . billy : well , i mean , they was a bunch of a land mines , but , eventually , we got through it . nikki : it 'll be interesting to see how nicholas and chelsea navigate that . an official message from medicare . rey : thank you for making so much food . lola : i had fun doing it . this is a great way to spend the day . rey : mm . have you talked to mom yet ? lola : i was going to call her in a few . you ? rey : not yet . [ cellphones chime ] lola : [ laughs ] rey : looks like she noticed . lola : eek . sending us pictures of the pies she made ? rey : these are `` look at what you 're missing `` pies . lola : [ sighs ] rey : oh , wow . she is taking it to the next level -- baby pictures . lola : you know , mateo is the cutest baby i have ever seen . rey : i agree . i agree . you know , she 's not gon na stop until we call her . lola : let 's call her in a few minutes . rey : that 's cute . lola : hey , are you sure that you and sharon do n't want to come to the abbotts with us later ? rey : hey , you know , we 're pretty tired . i think we were looking forward to some quiet time . lola : got it . rey : [ chuckles ] kyle : my dad and traci are picking up dina to bring her home for the afternoon . mariah : oh , that 's so sweet . kyle : yeah . mariah : summer and theo coming , as well ? kyle : mm , theo was invited , but he decided against it . mariah : aww . i 'm glad you 're getting a little break from your new cousin . kyle : mm . me , too . mariah : maybe absence will make the heart grow fonder . kyle : highly doubt it . it would take a much , much longer break . maybe i can send him on a business trip to antarctica . mariah : [ laughs ] well , you know , i do n't think there 's a big demand for the cosmetics and fashion industry there . kyle : mm . mariah : but i understand why you 're wary . i just hope you 're not be obsessive . you know , there 's a reason why there 's a whole holiday dedicated to counting your blessings and not your problems . it 's because -- shocker -- it works . [ laughs ] kyle : you 're right . and i have a lot of blessings . phyllis : you know what really bothers me ? adam : pumpkin spice ? phyllis : um , well , yeah , but ... adam : uh , people that sit on their phones in their car when they 're waiting for their parking spot . phyllis : duh , for sure , but -- adam : uh , meter maids , the nasdaq ... phyllis : why are you doing that ? adam : i 'm just -- i 'm trying to get you to stop talking and tell me what bothers you . phyllis : chelsea . chelsea bothers me , all right ? adam : mm - hmm . of course she does . phyllis : chelsea bothers me . i do n't understand why is she so invincible . i mean , her crooked husband dies mysteriously , leaves her millions of dollars , but nothing see here , nothing to look at here . and then simon black comes into town , holds everyone hostage , he 's trying to get his stolen money , but nobody finds chelsea to be complicit . instead , they turn around , they start investigating me . seriously ? adam : that 's really unfortunate , phyllis . phyllis : yes , it 's unfortunate . adam : mm - hmm . you realize , you have nobody to blame for that but yourself , right ? [ clears throat ] okay , everywhere chance was , there you were , snoopin ' around , and you were the one that installed the security system at the hotel . phyllis : so what ? adam : so you put your little unique touches on it , and then you reset before chance could bust you . but , you know what , that still does n't mean that the feds ca n't retrieve the information . after all , the video of nicholas wearing the j.t . mask eventually surfaced , despite him not wanting it to be out there . phyllis : mm . i 'm sure that you know a lot more about that video and how it came to light than nick does , do n't you ? adam : what did you install in the system , hmm ? ransomware , spyware ? try to find something on chelsea and abby 's devices that you could blackmail them with ? no , let me guess , you tried to plant something to force them out of the hotel , was that it ? phyllis : ooh , i 'm gon na have to get the measurements for your tinfoil hat . adam : i 'm right . phyllis : listen . whatever i did do would have worked if simon had n't come and held everyone hostage that day . adam : oh , well , i am so sorry my near - death experience was an inconvenience to you . phyllis : oh , my gosh . you 're not gon na die . you 're never gon na die . adam : oh , you sound disappointed about that , phyllis . phyllis : i 'm not disappointed because you 're my friend . and it 's thanksgiving , adam ! it 's thanksgiving . and what am i thankful for ? i 'm thankful that you are still alive and kicking , even though , most of the time , you 're kicking me when i 'm down . adam : phyllis ... what are you up to ? these little cups would make `` the young and the restless `` will continue . nikki : i 'm so glad you came , summer , and you 're just in time for dessert . summer : oh , well ... nick : i saved this one for you . summer : all right . ready ? nick : yeah ! let 's get it . summer : oh ! i win ! nick : hey ! gah ! all right . what kind of pie would you like , your highness ? summer : what do we have ? nikki : pumpkin chiffon or pecan . summer : ooh , anything chiffon works for me . thank you . nick : chiffon ! summer : hey . chelsea : hey . summer : did i , uh , miss anything good ? chelsea : uh , dinner was delicious -- so cute ! summer : [ chuckles ] chelsea : connor is having a blast . i 'm so glad he gets to experience a fun traditional family holiday like this . i do n't think he remembers coming here when he was little . summer : where are the kids ? chelsea : oh , victor is showing them his new pinball machine . summer : oh . chelsea : i think he 's having more fun than they are . summer : yes , definitely . chelsea : mm - hmm . summer : i 'm sure he 's so happy to have all the cousins together . chelsea : yeah . summer : how 's connor doing ? chelsea : today is a good day . but that 's about as far ahead as can i think because i do n't know what tomorrow 's gon na be like . summer : well , he 's a brave little guy . chelsea : yeah . he is . he 'll be excited to see you . you are always so good with him . summer : oh , well , i 'm gon na smother that kid in hugs when i see him . chelsea : [ chuckles ] summer : uh , hey , um ... i know that i was kind of tough on you at first , but i 'm here for you if you need anything , too . chelsea : thank you . nick : what is going on with dad ? nikki : what do you mean ? nick : he seems ... happy . like , too happy . nikki : and what 's the matter with that ? nick : [ laughs ] nothing , it 's just ... walking down to the stables , we & had a very nice chat , you know . there were no lectures about my failed campaign or chelsea 's past coming back to haunt her ... he was just really happy we brought connor today . nikki : honestly , i think his priorities have shifted for the better , so just enjoy it . i know i am . victor : well , now , if it is n't my favorite granddaughter . now , do n't tell anyone . summer : i 've mostly forgiven you . victor : come here . i love you . and happy thanksgiving , all right ? phyllis : i 'm not up to anything . i 'm here on a mission of mercy . i told you that . adam : not a fact - finding one ? phyllis : mnh - mnh . no , you made it clear that , all of a sudden , you 're chelsea 's champion , and chance 's ally , and you 're not gon na divulge anything about them . adam : yes , i told you , phyllis , i 'm out of the scheming business , and i 'm done with revenge . phyllis : really ? & adam : yep . phyllis : even with your father ? adam : especially when it comes to my father . phyllis : good . we have a lot more in common than you think . adam : really ? really , since when ? phyllis : since i decided i 'm out of the scheming game , too . i 'm out of it . i 'm gon na work on building myself up instead of tearing others down , and where has scheming and revenge gotten us , except alone on thanksgiving ? alone together . adam : i can think of worse ways to spend the holiday . phyllis : that 's sweet . lola : uh , hey , sharon , do we have any more serving spoons ? sharon : yes , i know we do , but i do n't know where they are . amanda : i think i saw some being washed in the kitchen . lola : thanks , amanda . sharon : um , i 'll go help you find them . rey : so you know my sister ? amanda : uh , no , um ... i 'm new to town , and nate introduced us when i was doing some legal work for him . rey : ah , you 're a lawyer . amanda : yes . rey : well , maybe our paths will cross at some point since i 'm a police detective . amanda : oh , well , i 'm not that kind of lawyer . i specialize in estates and trusts . rey : right , so it 's very unlikely our paths will cross . amanda : okay , well , fair enough . rey : we should get back to it . amanda : yeah . elena : i thought she would have left town by now . nate : amanda 's actually considering staying . elena : what ? why ? nate : she likes it here . elena : [ scoffs ] that is unbelievable . nate : why ? she ca n't help that she has hilary 's face . elena : are you actually taking her side over your own cousin 's ? you know what it does to him to see her face . nate : she 's more than just her face . elena : yeah , she 's also a con artist who helped colin atkinson steal billions of dollars from devon . nate : i think she was fooled by colin . elena : oh , my god . nate : i know she feels terrible about it . elena : what is wrong with you ? you 're letting her play you . nate : i 'm just trying to be fair . elena : i do n't even know what to say to you . i 'll see you at work . nate : hey -- [ sighs ] phyllis : `` a friend is a present you give yourself . `` what does that mean ? adam : i have no idea . what 'd you want it to say ? phyllis : `` world domination , complete adoration ... `` [ giggles ] adam : no , you know what you want , i will give you that , phyllis . when you set your mind to it , you make it happen . phyllis : thank you very much . i would say the same about you , except , it 'd go to your head , so . adam : mm . the problem is , getting what you want sometimes is n't always a good thing . i wanted to mess with my dad 's health , and ... almost ruined both of our lives . phyllis : yeah , okay , well , that was a mistake , but you learned from it , you recovered -- both of you did -- and next time , set another goal . okay ? adam : mm . phyllis : i do n't think you 're a bad guy , adam . i think you deserve to get exactly what you want . adam : so do you , phyllis . [ clears throat ] cheers . phyllis : cheers . rey : if i do n't see you two later , happy thanksgiving . kyle : oh ! [ laughter ] sharon : it meant so much to me to have you here today . mariah : well , i love seeing you like this , you know , running the show and touching people 's live . you have the biggest heart , and i am so proud to be your daughter . every day , but especially today . sharon : aww . i need another hug . mariah : [ laughs ] nate : hey . amanda : uh , hey ! nate : i 'm gon na head back to work . are you gon na stick around ? amanda : yeah . i think so . nate : just today , or long - term ? amanda : [ chuckles ] you are good . you are . i am seriously considering it . nate : well , i 've been meaning to mention , i have a great real estate agent if you think you 're in the market . i 'll text it to you . amanda : okay . thank you . [ giggles ] oh , um , i actually have to give you my new number . nate : okay , okay . put me in your contacts because i hate getting that message , `` new phone , who dis ? `` amanda : [ chuckles ] nate : so , uh , why did you change your number ? amanda : uh , it , you know , i think it got on some spam list , and i 'm getting all these annoying phone calls . it 's just really annoying , so ... nate : hmm . nikki : well , i hope you all had enough to eat . victor : mm . nick : yeah . nikki : now it is time for my favorite tradition -- hearing what we 're all most thankful for . i am thankful that victor 's health has improved , that he 's stepped back from work , and is finally enjoying life to the fullest . i am truly treasuring the time that we are allowed to spend together now . you are my everything , my darling . victoria : oh ! victoria : i am grateful for our parents , and ... they 're a grounding force of our family . it is a gift to witness the great love that you two have , and your kindness and your patience and your respect that you have for each other is ... it 's an example for all of us . and i 'm also very happy that dad is feeling better now that he 's stepped back from work . [ laughter ] no , no , no . not for that reason ! yes , taking the reins at newman has been very exciting , but i 'm mostly grateful for you , billy , for being so supportive and being the backbone of our family while i pursue my dream . billy : mm . well , i am just grateful as hell to have my family back because , honestly , that 's -- that 's what it 's all about . nick : i second that . i feel very , very blessed that i was able to bring christian back home . and , dad , thank you for being there and giving all of us what we need . i also feel very lucky that you and connor came back into my life . chelsea : well , thank you for always having my back , letting me know i do n't have to go through things alone . victor : well , now , i want to thank all of you for , first of all , being here tonight , saying all those nice things . i am obviously very grateful for all the healing that has taken place this year -- not only the physical healing , but also the emotional healing , you know ? but nothing fills my heart with greater joy , and i 'm sure yours , as well , than to hear our grandkids run around and shout and scream and laugh , and ... it 's a joy . now , noah and reed and faith ca n't be here , but we will send them our love , all of us . and ... for those who ca n't be here , hopefully they 'll soon find their way back to our home . nikki : that was perfect . nick : i 'll , uh -- i 'll get you a refill . chelsea : oh . sharon : today was a lot more than just serving a meal . rey : yeah . it was inspiring to see strangers sitting down with each other , breaking bread and sharing their stories , huh ? sharon : well , i do n't know if you heard , but lola offered someone a job interview . rey : yeah . she was a single mother who reminded her of celeste . sharon : oh , that is so great . i hope that works out . rey : there was a true spirit of generosity in this room , and that 's because of you . sharon : well , i 'm glad you could -- i 'm glad you could be here . rey : look , i know your feet are killing you , but ... you think you can make it through one dance ? sharon : um , i think i could muster the energy . adam : so connor had a lot of fun today ? chelsea : that would be an understatement . adam : you know , you made the right call , chelsea . chelsea : well , thank you for trusting me . adam : mm - hmm . chelsea : oh ! looks like you enjoyed yourself , too . adam : oh ? no . no . no , no , no . it was phyllis . chelsea : you and phyllis ? adam : we had chinese food . chelsea : mm . i bet she served up a big ol ' helping of complaints about me . adam : mm - hmm . chelsea : and i know she was up to no good with that security system . adam : you are probably right . i mean , that is so phyllis . chelsea : anyway ... adam : are , um ... are you going back to nick 's ? chelsea : actually , i thought i 'd stay here , if that 's okay , in case connor needs me . adam : yeah , of course . chelsea : thanks . um ... well , it 's been a long day , so i 'm gon na turn in . adam : yeah . nikki : so , did you enjoy thanksgiving ? victor : well , what do you think ? nikki : tell me anyway . victor : you know ... all the struggles and all the painful times that you and i have endured and that you and i have gone through were worthwhile , you know , because , tonight ... was the result of all of it , was n't it ? i loved every moment of it . nikki : it 's always been my dream to be here with you surrounded by all the people that we love . there was a time i was n't sure if it would happen , so ... victor : mm - hmm . nikki : oh , watch my crown . victor : i love you , my baby . nikki : i love you , too . victor : i love you . nikki : that 's what i 'm most thankful for . next week on `` the young and the restless `` ... chelsea : he needs me . nick : connor or adam ? amanda : hey , why do n't you go back to your drink or , better yet , head outside -- get some fresh air , clear your head ? and what if i do n't ? billy : then we all stop being polite . victoria : how bad is it out there ? rey : it is pretty nasty . the wind 's already knocked down a few trees , and they 're expecting it to even get worse tonight . victoria : oh , my god . what 's happening ? | the newman family spends thanksgiving together and tell each other the things for which they are thankful . nick chelsea and connor spend the day at the newmans but the distance between nick and chelsea is obvious to everyone while connor has a fun day playing with his cousins . phyllis brings chinese food and she and adam spend the day together . phyllis tells adam she has decided to follow his example and not scheme or seek revenge anymore . sharon feeds the homeless at crimson lights where amanda elena and nate volunteer to serve food . elena is upset when nate tells her that amanda is considering staying in town . elena worries that nate is being played by amanda and tells him to stay away from her . nick is disappointed when he gets a text from chelsea telling him she needs to spend the night with connor at adam 's place . | <s>[INST] [ previously_on ] nate : i 'm surprised you 're not seeing someone . amanda : i was thinking the same thing about you . adam : my world is too small for you . phyllis : i know you have n't changed at all . chelsea : you want me to live here permanently ? adam : it 's time to make a tough decision . i mean , who comes first , chelsea , nick ... or your son ? nick : it was n't easy for her to allow connor to live with adam . she 's just doing everything she can to help him , and i have no right to be upset by that . victoria : yes , you do . but i suppose if you keep telling yourself that enough , you 'll convince yourself of it . nick : are you sure you wo n't come with me ? summer : oh , no . i promised i would spend the day with theo . nick : yeah , well , i know your grandparents would love to see their granddaughter for thanksgiving dinner . summer : i know , but , um , i think that theo has all the family that he can handle right now at the abbotts , and adding any newman family drama would probably make him short - circuit . nick : there 's not gon na be any drama . summer : [ scoffs ] okay . nick : look , mom and dad did n't invite adam , which drops the chance for drama down by , like , 100 % . okay , fine . i will , uh , just have to get by without you . you know who else is gon na have to do that ? your very , very young cousins who adore their aunt summer . summer : okay , that -- that is not fair . nick : i 'm your dad . it 's my job to guilt you into family dinners . is it working ? summer : okay , fine . i will stop by for a few minutes . nick : all right ! i 'll take what i can get . so , are you and theo going to the abbotts ? summer : no , we 're actually having just a chill friendsgiving with some other new york transplants , just keeping it low - key , you know ... theo has enough on his plate with the new family and a new job . nick : yeah , how 's that going ? summer : um , he made a really good first impression , it 's just -- you know , it 's a lot all at once . nick : [ sighs ] new family , new job -- that can be overwhelming . summer : yeah , and speaking of complicated situations , chelsea has been spending a lot of time at adam 's lately , so ... is she and connor still gon na meet you at the ranch ? chelsea : i think it will be good for connor to go to your dad 's . adam : i mean , after everything the kid has been through ... thanksgiving with my family , it 's noisy and it 's chaotic . chelsea : and normal . adam : i 'm sorry , have you met the newmans ? [ sighs ] now , would n't it be better if we just give him a quiet , restful day at home ? chelsea : i think it would be good for him to feel like a normal kid for a day , you know ? play with his cousins , visit with the horses ... adam : mm - hmm . and i really want that , too , i do , when he 's ready for that , not because it 's what nicholas wants . chelsea : okay , this has nothing to do with nick . adam : mm - hmm . chelsea : i know my son . i know what he needs , and i fully supported you having a lot of one - on - one alone time with him , but i do n't want him to become completely dependent on only you for support . he 's got aunts , uncles , grandparents that love him . adam : i understand that , i do , but i 'm his father -- chelsea : you and i both did n't have that , adam . i 'm determined that our son will . rey : all right . okay , so , we have one more green bean casserole and sweet potato , courtesy of esther , chloe , and kevin . sharon : that was so sweet of them to drop that by . you know , people of genoa city never let me down -- on thanksgiving . rey : ah . [ chuckles ] i love this tradition . being of service to those less fortunate , it feels good . sharon : yeah , i 'm glad it gives me just a direction to focus my energy since my kids wo n't be here with me this year . rey : oh , so faith decided to go to her boarding school friend 's house ? sharon : and noah stayed in london . rey : well , what about mariah and tessa ? sharon : they decided to get together with friends . and maybe this sounds a little bit selfish of me , but ... we 've done this together for the past few years , and so i just miss her . rey : i think she misses you , too . sharon : [ gasps ] what are you doing here ? mariah : our plans got pushed back a few hours , so i had some time to help out . sharon : oh ! nikki : two turkeys , one ham , and enough cornbread dressing to feed half of wisconsin . this completes the desserts . we are going to have leftovers for days . victor : all right , my darling , and if that is the case , then we can continue celebrating tomorrow for those who could n't make it today . nikki : well , that 's true . victor : yeah . nikki : victoria , billy , and the kids should be here any minute , and nicholas is on his way , and i 'm hoping that he can convince summer into making an appearance . victor : and abby is going to stop by before she goes to the abbotts . nikki : well , it 's understandable that she wants to see her mother . i mean , ashley will only be in town for a few days , and i understand that dina will be home for the day . victor : oh ! now , what about nicholas ? is he coming with chelsea and connor ? nikki : he was n't sure . i get the feeling it will depend on how connor is feeling . victor : oh , well , i think connor should be here , you know ? i mean , he should play with his cousins . nikki : well , i agree . i told nicholas that , but ... ultimately , it 's going to & depend on chelsea . nick : the plan is for chelsea and connor to meet me at the ranch . summer : but you do n't think they 're gon na make it ? nick : well , lately , there has n't been a lot of overlap in the plan and what actually happens . summer : i 'm sure chelsea 's just trying to do the right thing for connor . nick : yeah , and i respect that . just wish adam did , too . summer : well , you do n't think that he does ? nick : i think he 's trying to exploit the situation for his benefit . summer : really ? i mean , even for adam , that seems pretty low . nick : he 's very manipulative . even if that means using his own son . but i 'm not gon na let him get away with it . additional sponsorship mariah : hi ! elena : hey ! mariah : i did n't expect to see you guys today ! elena : oh , we 're here on a lunch break . mariah : oh , i figured . but i bet you wish you could have gone with devon to see ana and jett . elena : yeah , but i 'm trying to make the best of it . you know , being a resident , we have to work on holidays . nate : mm - hmm . mariah : and you work today , doc ? nate : yeah , i volunteered so people with families could spend the day with their kids . mariah : wow . you took a break from your volunteer shift to do some more volunteering . how is it that you 're single ? elena : it defies logic . mariah : are you sure that we do n't know anybody for him ? nate : oh , no , thank you , ladies . mariah : what , you do n't trust our judgment ? nate : my personal life is going just fine . elena : since when do you have a personal life ? mariah : wow , i think he 's holding out on us . elena : yeah , are you dating someone ? is it stacy from oncology ? nate : it is not stacy from oncology . elena : but it is someone ! [ laughter ] mariah : okay , let 's get your jackets hung up . elena : thanks . nikki : welcome , you two ! hi ! billy : hey . mwah ! victoria : hi . nikki : i hope you 're hungry . victoria : oh , yes , we are . nikki : where are the kids ? victoria : oh , we dropped them off at the stable with hannah . they were so excited to feed and brush the horses . i doubt we 're gon na see them for dinner . billy : they 're earning their keep . victor : well , it 's more like , uh , `` do as i say , not do as i do , `` kind of a thing , right ? victoria : meh . billy : yeah , you made retirement look so good , i thought i 'd follow your lead . victor : wait a minute , i 'm your role model now ? billy : yeah , let 's go with that . victor : are you serious ? billy : [ chuckles ] victor : been decades in the coming , man -- billy boy ! nikki : well , i think it 's wonderful that you will now have more time to spend with the children . billy : i do , too . it has n't always been that way , but , uh , yeah , it 's important time to be with them , especially at the age that they are . victor : i think it 's a good idea . now , can i get you two something to drink ? victoria : yes , i 'll have a pinot noir , thank you . victor : a pinot noir . billy : i 'll have a beer , please . victor : all right . nikki : i 'm going to check on the food . billy : [ clears throat ] victoria : i 'm very sorry about my dad needling you . billy : [ exhales sharply ] oh , come on , i 'm not gon na take away his favorite pastime . victoria : i do n't know if this is gon na make any sense or not , but i think he really misses adam today . billy : oh , he probably does , but at least we wo n't have to check the cranberry sauce to see if it 's poisoned . victoria : all of this talk about spending time with kids while they 're young , i think it just struck a nerve . billy : that was n't a dig , i did n't mean that . victoria : good . victor : here we go . beer for you , billy boy , and pinot noir for you . victoria : thank you , daddy . victor : yes . well , look who 's coming ! how nice . nick : happy thanksgiving , dad . victor : nice to see you . chelsea : thank you for having us . nikki : i am so glad you came . i mean , given everything that you and connor have been through lately , i hope that this is an easy , joyful day with family . chelsea : we could really use that , thank you . victor : by the way , where is connor ? nick : he and christian found johnny and katie down at the stables . victor : uh - oh ! billy : you know we 're never getting them back in the house . [ laughter ] victor : well , let them play , let them have a good time , you know ? right ? how nice to see you . adam : phyllis . phyllis : adam . adam : what the hell are you doing here ? phyllis : i 'm sorry , am i interrupting a big family gathering ? adam : mm - hmm . phyllis : is that turkey i smell ? ooh , and pies on the hearth .... oh , no , it 's -- it 's the same old dreary ... bachelor pad . adam : well , if you 're talking about this beautiful high - end penthouse with a fully - stocked bar , you 're right . yeah , it 's pretty much heaven on earth . phyllis : liar . i am your best option tonight , by the way . and i have supplies . sharon : i am so happy that you wanted to help out . amanda : no , i -- thank you for having me . sharon : yeah , i 'm glad to have extra volunteers . amanda : [ chuckles ] nate : now that is a good look for you . amanda : oh , well , i can also rock a hair net . nate : oh , i 'm sure you can . [ chuckles ] amanda : well , look at you . nate : what , these ? these are my holiday scrubs . amanda : mm - hmm , well , i guess we do n't have to wonder what you 're thankful for today . nate : that i get to keep doing what i love ? absolutely . so thank you for that . amanda : my pleasure . nate : so , uh , why are n't you with family today ? amanda : uh ... we 're not close . nate : oh , i 'm sorry . amanda : no , no , it 's fine . i 'm actually really happy to be here . nate : yeah , still , it must make the holidays tough for you . amanda : well , if you really feel bad for me , you can come and help me scoop some stuffing . nate : yes , ma'am . amanda : [ chuckles ] looks so good . nate : yeah , it does . rey : let me take these off your hands . mwah ! you can follow me with the rest . come on . lola : hey there ! elena : hey ! lola : it 's so nice of you to help out ! before your shift ?

elena : you know her ? lola : well , yeah . he introduced us the other day . elena : mm , lucky you . lola : oh . i take it you 're not her biggest fan . elena : oh , i would stay away from her . she 's a snake . excuse me . adam : you know what i would like from you , phyllis ? i 'd like an apology . phyllis : for what ? adam : for the last time that you barged into my home and i practically had to throw your ass out of here . phyllis : oh ! yeah , when you were here with chance . i thought we were just three friends , chattin ' . adam : you do n't -- you do n't read social cues very well , do you ? phyllis : yeah , i read them , i do n't really care about them . and in every conversation i have , i know that i can learn something very interesting . adam : well , you did n't learn anything . phyllis : oh , i did . adam : no , you didn't . phyllis : [ giggles ] but i did . i learned that you felt very uncomfortable talking about simon black in front of your federal agent friend , and i also learned that you have this sudden protection over chelsea , and that 's odd to me , since you were willing to implicate her in her husband 's death . adam : oh , my god ! oh , my god , you did it ! you did it ! you solved the case of people behaving differently in different situations . that 's amazing , phyllis . phyllis : yeah . adam : wow . phyllis : anyway ... my very , um , beautiful thanksgiving gesture is not about that . it 's , um , about me wanting to help a friend in need . adam : well , news flash -- i do n't need anything from you . phyllis : i feel bad for you . i really do . i mean , your family begged you to come back , they desperately wanted your help with connor , and now they treat you like an outcast , and ... i think that 's wrong . i just did n't want you to be alone . adam : i mean , are you sure you really do n't want to be alone today , phyllis ? phyllis : okay , let 's just agree that alone sucks . adam : no , actually , i find my company quite exhilarating . phyllis : i 'm sure you do , adam . i 'm sure you do . adam : what , is summer at the ranch , too ? phyllis : mm , summer is with her boyfriend . adam : hmm . it 's been a while since you had one of those . phyllis : excuse me ? adam : mm - hmm . phyllis : and your last word is probably gon na be `` rosebud . `` adam : [ sighs ] do you have any moo shu pork in here ? phyllis : um , what 's chinese without moo shu pork ? yeah . adam : riesling ? phyllis : mm , that 's too sweet . adam : okay , well , then you will have a chardonnay . phyllis : i 'll get the plates . nikki : i have some great news to share . victor 's health has improved so much that nate has okayed him to travel . billy : that 's great . victoria : that 's good news . victor : is n't that nice ? so we thought of renting a villa in switzerland and having all of you join us . nikki : i 've already asked abby . she said she would love to go . what do you all think ? victoria : i love the idea . we could finally teach the kids how to ski . victor : yeah ! good idea . nikki : chelsea , do you think connor would enjoy that , as well ? chelsea : uh , normally , i think he would love that , especially spending time with his cousins , but , to be honest , he 's had a lot of anxiety lately and nightmares . plus , i worry it 's too long for him to be away from his dad . so ... victor : mm - hmm . nick : uh , yeah , it 's not something we can give you an answer about right now , but we will definitely discuss it and get back to you . victor : all right , son , why do n't you and i go down and get the kids , okay ? nick : yeah . chelsea : you know what , i 'm gon na go wash my hands before dinner . excuse me . nikki : maybe it was a mistake to bring up switzerland . victoria : things have been a little strained between nick and chelsea , with her staying at adam 's . nikki : oh ! yes , of course . i mean , how could they not be ? victoria : nick wants to fix things , but there 's only so much he can do about connor . i mean , he 's the guy who 's with his mother . he 's not his dad . billy : i 've been there . victoria : but you were wonderful with reed when he was going through everything with j.t . billy : well , i mean , they was a bunch of a land mines , but , eventually , we got through it . nikki : it 'll be interesting to see how nicholas and chelsea navigate that . an official message from medicare . rey : thank you for making so much food . lola : i had fun doing it . this is a great way to spend the day . rey : mm . have you talked to mom yet ? lola : i was going to call her in a few . you ? rey : not yet . [ cellphones chime ] lola : [ laughs ] rey : looks like she noticed . lola : eek . sending us pictures of the pies she made ? rey : these are `` look at what you 're missing `` pies . lola : [ sighs ] rey : oh , wow . she is taking it to the next level -- baby pictures . lola : you know , mateo is the cutest baby i have ever seen . rey : i agree . i agree . you know , she 's not gon na stop until we call her . lola : let 's call her in a few minutes . rey : that 's cute . lola : hey , are you sure that you and sharon do n't want to come to the abbotts with us later ? rey : hey , you know , we 're pretty tired . i think we were looking forward to some quiet time . lola : got it . rey : [ chuckles ] kyle : my dad and traci are picking up dina to bring her home for the afternoon . mariah : oh , that 's so sweet . kyle : yeah . mariah : summer and theo coming , as well ? kyle : mm , theo was invited , but he decided against it . mariah : aww . i 'm glad you 're getting a little break from your new cousin . kyle : mm . me , too . mariah : maybe absence will make the heart grow fonder . kyle : highly doubt it . it would take a much , much longer break . maybe i can send him on a business trip to antarctica . mariah : [ laughs ] well , you know , i do n't think there 's a big demand for the cosmetics and fashion industry there . kyle : mm . mariah : but i understand why you 're wary . i just hope you 're not be obsessive . you know , there 's a reason why there 's a whole holiday dedicated to counting your blessings and not your problems . it 's because -- shocker -- it works . [ laughs ] kyle : you 're right . and i have a lot of blessings . phyllis : you know what really bothers me ? adam : pumpkin spice ? phyllis : um , well , yeah , but ... adam : uh , people that sit on their phones in their car when they 're waiting for their parking spot . phyllis : duh , for sure , but -- adam : uh , meter maids , the nasdaq ... phyllis : why are you doing that ? adam : i 'm just -- i 'm trying to get you to stop talking and tell me what bothers you . phyllis : chelsea . chelsea bothers me , all right ? adam : mm - hmm . of course she does . phyllis : chelsea bothers me . i do n't understand why is she so invincible . i mean , her crooked husband dies mysteriously , leaves her millions of dollars , but nothing see here , nothing to look at here . and then simon black comes into town , holds everyone hostage , he 's trying to get his stolen money , but nobody finds chelsea to be complicit . instead , they turn around , they start investigating me . seriously ? adam : that 's really unfortunate , phyllis . phyllis : yes , it 's unfortunate . adam : mm - hmm . you realize , you have nobody to blame for that but yourself , right ? [ clears throat ] okay , everywhere chance was , there you were , snoopin ' around , and you were the one that installed the security system at the hotel . phyllis : so what ? adam : so you put your little unique touches on it , and then you reset before chance could bust you . but , you know what , that still does n't mean that the feds ca n't retrieve the information . after all , the video of nicholas wearing the j.t . mask eventually surfaced , despite him not wanting it to be out there . phyllis : mm . i 'm sure that you know a lot more about that video and how it came to light than nick does , do n't you ? adam : what did you install in the system , hmm ? ransomware , spyware ? try to find something on chelsea and abby 's devices that you could blackmail them with ? no , let me guess , you tried to plant something to force them out of the hotel , was that it ? phyllis : ooh , i 'm gon na have to get the measurements for your tinfoil hat . adam : i 'm right . phyllis : listen . whatever i did do would have worked if simon had n't come and held everyone hostage that day . adam : oh , well , i am so sorry my near - death experience was an inconvenience to you . phyllis : oh , my gosh . you 're not gon na die . you 're never gon na die . adam : oh , you sound disappointed about that , phyllis . phyllis : i 'm not disappointed because you 're my friend . and it 's thanksgiving , adam ! it 's thanksgiving . and what am i thankful for ? i 'm thankful that you are still alive and kicking , even though , most of the time , you 're kicking me when i 'm down . adam : phyllis ... what are you up to ? these little cups would make `` the young and the restless `` will continue . nikki : i 'm so glad you came , summer , and you 're just in time for dessert . summer : oh , well ... nick : i saved this one for you . summer : all right . ready ? nick : yeah ! let 's get it . summer : oh ! i win ! nick : hey ! gah ! all right . what kind of pie would you like , your highness ? summer : what do we have ? nikki : pumpkin chiffon or pecan . summer : ooh , anything chiffon works for me . thank you . nick : chiffon ! summer : hey . chelsea : hey . summer : did i , uh , miss anything good ?

chelsea : today is a good day . but that 's about as far ahead as can i think because i do n't know what tomorrow 's gon na be like . summer : well , he 's a brave little guy . chelsea : yeah . he is . he 'll be excited to see you . you are always so good with him . summer : oh , well , i 'm gon na smother that kid in hugs when i see him . chelsea : [ chuckles ] summer : uh , hey , um ... i know that i was kind of tough on you at first , but i 'm here for you if you need anything , too . chelsea : thank you . nick : what is going on with dad ? nikki : what do you mean ? nick : he seems ... happy . like , too happy . nikki : and what 's the matter with that ? nick : [ laughs ] nothing , it 's just ... walking down to the stables , we & had a very nice chat , you know . there were no lectures about my failed campaign or chelsea 's past coming back to haunt her ... he was just really happy we brought connor today . nikki : honestly , i think his priorities have shifted for the better , so just enjoy it . i know i am . victor : well , now , if it is n't my favorite granddaughter . now , do n't tell anyone . summer : i 've mostly forgiven you . victor : come here . i love you . and happy thanksgiving , all right ? phyllis : i 'm not up to anything . i 'm here on a mission of mercy . i told you that . adam : not a fact - finding one ? phyllis : mnh - mnh . no , you made it clear that , all of a sudden , you 're chelsea 's champion , and chance 's ally , and you 're not gon na divulge anything about them . adam : yes , i told you , phyllis , i 'm out of the scheming business , and i 'm done with revenge . phyllis : really ? & adam : yep . phyllis : even with your father ? adam : especially when it comes to my father . phyllis : good . we have a lot more in common than you think . adam : really ? really , since when ? phyllis : since i decided i 'm out of the scheming game , too . i 'm out of it . i 'm gon na work on building myself up instead of tearing others down , and where has scheming and revenge gotten us , except alone on thanksgiving ? alone together . adam : i can think of worse ways to spend the holiday . phyllis : that 's sweet . lola : uh , hey , sharon , do we have any more serving spoons ? sharon : yes , i know we do , but i do n't know where they are . amanda : i think i saw some being washed in the kitchen . lola : thanks , amanda . sharon : um , i 'll go help you find them . rey : so you know my sister ? amanda : uh , no , um ... i 'm new to town , and nate introduced us when i was doing some legal work for him . rey : ah , you 're a lawyer . amanda : yes . rey : well , maybe our paths will cross at some point since i 'm a police detective . amanda : oh , well , i 'm not that kind of lawyer . i specialize in estates and trusts . rey : right , so it 's very unlikely our paths will cross . amanda : okay , well , fair enough . rey : we should get back to it . amanda : yeah . elena : i thought she would have left town by now . nate : amanda 's actually considering staying . elena : what ? why ? nate : she likes it here . elena : [ scoffs ] that is unbelievable . nate : why ? she ca n't help that she has hilary 's face . elena : are you actually taking her side over your own cousin 's ?

adam : mm . phyllis : i do n't think you 're a bad guy , adam . i think you deserve to get exactly what you want . adam : so do you , phyllis .

cassie : i 'm here to help you paint . excuse me . philip : [ sighs ] cassie : hey , shawn , let me help you . philip : do n't look at me . i did n't invite her . belle : well , thanks for bringing the paint . philip : sure . i got a bunch more in the car . i need shawn to help me . belle : if you can tear him away from cassie . cassie : there . maybe i should start with the baseboards down there . tony : lexie 's a dimera . you try to destroy her family , she 'll never forgive you . abe : theo and i are lexie 's family . tony : yes , well , she could divorce you and keep the child . call it the best of both worlds . abe : let 's start with where you went when i left here , when my informant was shot . tony : i was here at home . abe : can anyone vouch for you ? tony : actually , no . belle : cassie , it 's time for you to go home . cassie : w ? ? i 'm just here to help . belle : hard work 's not your style . you might break a nail . cassie : hmm . you 're just jealous . your boyfriend looks down my shirt , and you go ballistic . belle : home , cassie . now . cassie : not a chance . this party 's just heating up . shawn - d : man , it is so hot out there . philip : yeah , it is . cassie : i did n't know we were gon na go topless . belle : we 're not . cassie : oh , but i do n't want to get paint on my shirt . rex : cassie , what are you doing ? cassie : um , painting . belle : well , keep your shirt on . shawn - d : what are you doing here ? mimi : shawn , please do n't start . rex : i was invited . unlike you , i do n't break in where i 'm not wanted . marlena : sami was devastated when brandon left her . and then she got the annulment papers through the mail . kate : well , what did she expect ? marlena : she still loves him . does n't want to sign the papers . and she 's hoping that abe can sort of campaign on her behalf . kate : what ? she 's living in a fantasy if she thinks abe 's going to side with her after what she did to lexie , changing the paternity test . marlena : oh , i know . i know . she 's ridiculous to think that abe might help her , and in fact , he didn't . he refused her . kate : [ sighs ] marlena : and then all hell broke loose , and apparent s she had some nasty words for abe and lexie before she left in tears . kate : your daughter is really on the edge . marlena : i should n't be telling you this . i mean , she is going to be working for you . kate , i 'm hoping that this will be like a second chance for sami , working at basic black . kate : whenever sami is feeling less than zero , she makes me enemy number one , which makes basic black the worst possible place for her to be , do n't you think ? sami : you 're my family . my grandparents are supposed to love me and keep me safe . you did n't fight for me . you did n't try to help your son save his marriage . caroline : stop right there , young lady . do n't you judge your grandfather and me . we did everything we could to keep your parents from splitting up , but marlena loved john . sami : you mean that she got a taste of the high life and never looked back . caroline : do n't you talk that way about your mother . sami : are you kidding me ? she went for the first high roller who came along . she abandoned me and eric and left my poor father heartbroken . caroline : oh , samantha brady . how can you have so much life experience , and so little tolerance of other people 's faults ? i mean , you know what it 's like to make a mistake . you want forgiveness and grace , so why ca n't you be less harsh in your judgment of others ? sami : when you say things like that , it makes you seem so good and noble . but the truth is , if you 're for what 's right , you 're against what 's wrong , and what john and mom did was wrong . caroline : things happen between a man and a woman that you do n't plan . i mean , you ought to know that . when it comes to love and passion , our minds are sometimes ruled by our heart , even if it means hurting others . it 's -- i 'm not saying it 's right . sami : well , yes , you are , because you 're siding with them against me , just like everyone else in this pathetic family . caroline : do n't you talk about your family that way . i wo n't have that . has n't marlena suffered enough without having her own daughter put her down ? sami : marlena 's a whore ! caroline : dear god ! sami : you know , grandma , you 're the one who taught me about the bible , and the 10 commandments say `` thou shall not commit adultery . `` caroline : the bible also speaks of forgiveness . sami : yeah , when the person confesses and repents , and that is not marlena . caroline : sami ! sami : well -- sorry , grandma . i apologize . i 'll forgive , okay ? i 'll forgive my head off . caroline : well , i hope you mean it . sami : i do . this conversation has ... helped me see the light . i 'm a changed person . caroline : if only that were true . sami : i love you , grandma . i 'm sorry , okay ? i'llee you later , and happy shopping . caroline : sami , call me soon . we 'll go out to dinner with your grandfather . he 'd love to see you . sami : i would love that . i will . i promise . take care . caroline : yeah . sami : sorry , grandma , but forgiveness ? no way . i am out for the sweet taste of revenge . brady : granddad , something must have happened last night . nicole was so upset , she climbed out of her bedroom window . victor : why do you care ? brady : because i live under the same roof . i notice these things . victor : look , some things that happen between a husband and wife are private , and impossible for outsiders to understand . look at bill and hillary . brady : i just want the two of you to be happy , okay ? victor : and i appreciate that , but trust me , our marriage will survive . now , why do n't you show me that new recording studio of yours ? brady : whoa . that was the smoothest change of gears i 've heard in a very long time . victor : well , watch and learn . come on , you owe me a tour . nicole : i 'll never get out of this hellhole . not without an ally . abe : no one on your staff can vouch for your whereabouts when my informant was being killed . tony : actually , i gave the staff -- well , most of them -- the rest of the day off . abe : what about the woman that answered the door ? tony : mabel ? oh , she was out all morning running errands . abe : rex and his girlfriend -- they were here . tony : yes , they were , but they left . i 've been alone for hours . abe : well , it looks like your luck has ruouout , dimera . no alibi . you 're on shaky ground . tony : why is it every time a crime is committed here in salem , i am automatically the suspect , hmm ? abe : i know your history . tony : how could i have possibly bashed in people 's skulls while i was in a coma , shot people at point - blank range , and they were miles away ? abe : i never said he was shot at point - blank range . how did you know that ? tony : i just read minds . abe : this is not a joke , damn it . tony : if you 're going to arrest me for murder , then do it . otherwise , get the hell out of my house . abe : one way or another , i 'm going to get the goods on you , dimera . shawn - d : you 're not welcome here . rex : yeah ? if you do n't like it , take off . belle : no , no , no , no . no , everyone stays , because we need workers . mimi : yeah , let 's start upstairs . you guys start downstairs , and maybe we can work our way back to one another by the end of the day . shawn - d : yeah , do n't count on it , all right ? you know , if the lights go off , watch your back , because he 's liable to hit you upside the head like he did my parents . philip : whoa . shawn , come on , man . rex : where the hell do you get off ? philip : no , shawn , no ! not here , man ! this is not the place , okay ? you calm yourself down ! shawn - d : philip , why do n't you stay out of it ? belle : stop ! mimi : no ! philip : back up ! shawn - d : just like a dimera , coming at me when my back is turned ! rex : you started this , breaking into my house and hacking into my computer files ! shawn - d : if i had those files , you 'd be in jail right now ! rex : i have nothing to hide ! i should have had you arrested for breaking and entering . mimi : stop it , you guys , please , both of you ! we all used to be friends ! we trusted one another , and we stood up for each other ! i 'm sick of this . belle : mimi 's right . we all need to get along . rex , you are my brother , and i care about you . anand i love you . i want to spend the rest of my life with you . and like it or not , we 're all going to be family . so please just try to get along . mimi : [ crying ] shawn - d : mimi , do n't cry . mimi : this is supposed to be fun . this is our first apartment . belle : mimi and i were really looking forward to decorating this place , making it our own . shawn - d : come on , it 's not too late to still have a good time . cassie : yeah , it 's been a lot of laughs so far . philip : we need to find a way to work together , you guys . shawn - d : you 're right . i still have my suspicions , but there 's no sense in figining . rex : your suspicions are wrong . i did n't attack your parents . belle : guys , please . do n't let the feud between the dimeras and the bradys continue into our generation . look at what it did to our parents . shawn - d : okay . wrestling match is over . philip : right , so let 's go back to our corners and come out painting . rex : meems . hey . come on . shawn - d : i 'm sorry . belle : yeah , me too . it started out to be such a good day . shawn - d : hey . it 's just important how we finish , right ? cassie : leave everything to me . belle and shawn are history . woman : will this work for you ? sami : well , the cut is nice , but the color 's not right . i need something that wo n't show blood . woman : what ? why ? sami : i 'm in the revenge business , and it can get very messy . woman : right . um , well , i 'll just go look for something that 's a little more blood - friendly . sami : [ laughs ] marlena : you 're in a good mood . sami : mom . how long have you been standing there ? marlena : long enough to hear you laughing . what 's so funny ? sami : i 'm just thrilled about my new job . higher than a kite . marlena : let me bring you down to earth , sami . what happened ? what did you say that upset your grandmother so ? sami : i just told her a few home truths . you know what a pollyanna grandma can be . she never deals with reality . brady : that better be lemonade . nicole : actually , it 's a new drink . i like to call it the colin murphy . one splash irish whiskey , one shot in the back , shake well , and put it on ice till the cops show up . brady : so that 's it . nicole : that 's what ? brady : that 's why you 're so upset . you 're haunted by the shooting on your wedding night . nicole : close , but no cigar . brady : nicole , that is not the answer . just give me it . put it down . nicole : brady , you do n't even know what the question is . brady : then clue me in , okay ? nicole : ask victor . brady : i did . hehe told me to butt out . nicole : ditto . brady : all right , you do n't want my help , then you 're on your own . nicole : okay . one question , but it 's got to be the right one . brady : okay . give me a hint . nicole : why do n't you ask me what the one good thing in my life is ? brady : what is the one good thing in your life ? nicole : you . cassie : leave it to belle to pick the color of urine for her walls . philip : ha ha . right . hey ! cassie ! try to keep it on the wall . come on . ahh . mimi : oh ! rex : watch where you 're going . belle : this is a disaster . shawn - d : i have an idea . belle : oh , quick , before they all kill each other . shawn - d : all right , everybody , break time . listen , pizza 's gon na be here in probably about 15 minutes , so , uh , put those paint brushes down , and i 'm gon na learn you all some oldies . belle : you 're a genius . shawn - d : show them how it 's done , babe . belle : what are you doing ?

victor : on a scale of 10 , i 'd say your hangover was a 9 . nicole : an evening with a vodka bottle beats spending the night with you . victor : your attempted cacape last night was pathetic . nicole : if that damn plane had left on time , i 'd be dancing in the streets of paris by now . victor : i have operatives all over the world . you 'll never escape from me . nicole : why not ? why not let me go ? victor : because you 're mine . from now on , you 'll obey me and stay away from my grandson or i 'll have you arrested for the murder of colin murphy . nicole : what does brady have to do with this ? victor : you 're trying to get him on your side , make me out the bad guy . nicole : you are the bad guy . victor : when he finds out that you 're a whore and a murderer , he 'll figure out soon enough who the real villain is . in fact , maybe it 's time i told brady . brady : told me what ? like sands through the hourglass , so are the days of our lives . brady : so what is it you , uh , want to tell me ? victor : it can wait . brady : does it have anything to do with last night ? nicole : why would you think that ? brady : i was looking for you . where were you ? nicole : out . victor : sometimes nicole needs to be alone . last night was one of those times . nicole : now is one of those times , too . brady : all right , what the hell is going on here , granddad ? victor : not a damn thing . she 's miserabl s she blames me . brady : so why do n't you try speaking to her instead of locking her in her room ? victor : i have work to do , brady . brady : granddad -- all right , sorry , please , just ... tell me what happened between you two last night . what was it ? rex : mimi , you 're meeting someone , are n't you ? mimi : no . yes . but it 's -- it 's not what you think . i 'm meeting belle . we 're painting the loft today . rex : why could n't you just tell me ? mimi : because i -- i - i knew you 'd want to help , and -- and it 's not like we ca n't use all the help we can get , but i just -- i - i thought you would n't be interested . rex : so you did n't even tell me ? mimi : shawn and philip are going to be there , and every time you guys are in the same room together , it turns into a shouting match or worse , and i just -- i do n't need that . rex : am i supposed to be happy about shawn breaking into my room and snooping through my computer files , huh ? whose side are you on , mimi ? mimi : yours , of course . look ... we really could use your help painting , so why do n't you come back to the loft with me ? i mean , who knows , maybe we can all be friends again , the way we used to be . rex : i doubt that , but i 'll go . mimi : great . i 'll race you to my new bedroom . rex : i 'll givyoyou a 10-second head start . mimi : okay . rex : [ thinking ] i love you , mimi , but the truth is , i ca n't let shawn out of my sight . because if there 's one thing i 've learned from tony , it 's keep your friends close , but your enemies closer . philip : cassie , i never gave the green light to this little plan of yours . cassie : but you do want shawn and belle to break up , do n't you ? philip : yeah , but game playing and deception are not the ways i 'd like to go about getting a woman . and even if i ever did decide to sink to that level , it is impossible to break those two up . and besides , they 're my friends , and i do n't want -- cassie : fine , fine , i do n't need your approval . i 'm going to do whatever i want anyway . i 'm going to pit shawn and belle against each other , and then it 's all clear . you can just swoop in on her little heart . belle : i thought i heard voices . what are you doing here ? cassie : i 'm here to help you paint . excuse me . philip : [ sighs ] cassie : hey , shawn , let me help you . philip : do n't look at me . i did n't invite her . belle : well , thanks for bringing the paint . philip : sure . i got a bunch more in the car . i need shawn to help me . belle : if you can tear him away from cassie . cassie : there . maybe i should start with the baseboards down there . tony : lexie 's a dimera . you try to destroy her family , she 'll never forgive you . abe : theo and i are lexie 's family . tony : yes , well , she could divorce you and keep the child . call it the best of both worlds . abe : let 's start with where you went when i left here , when my informant was shot . tony : i was here at home . abe : can anyone vouch for you ? tony : actually , no . belle : cassie , it 's time for you to go home . cassie : w ? ? i 'm just here to help . belle : hard work 's not your style . you might break a nail . cassie : hmm . you 're just jealous . your boyfriend looks down my shirt , and you go ballistic . belle : home , cassie . now . cassie : not a chance . this party 's just heating up . shawn - d : man , it is so hot out there . philip : yeah , it is . cassie : i did n't know we were gon na go topless . belle : we 're not . cassie : oh , but i do n't want to get paint on my shirt . rex : cassie , what are you doing ? cassie : um , painting . belle : well , keep your shirt on . shawn - d : what are you doing here ? mimi : shawn , please do n't start . rex : i was invited . unlike you , i do n't break in where i 'm not wanted . marlena : sami was devastated when brandon left her . and then she got the annulment papers through the mail . kate : well , what did she expect ? marlena : she still loves him . does n't want to sign the papers . and she 's hoping that abe can sort of campaign on her behalf . kate : what ? she 's living in a fantasy if she thinks abe 's going to side with her after what she did to lexie , changing the paternity test . marlena : oh , i know . i know . she 's ridiculous to think that abe might help her , and in fact , he didn't . he refused her . kate : [ sighs ] marlena : and then all hell broke loose , and apparent s she had some nasty words for abe and lexie before she left in tears . kate : your daughter is really on the edge . marlena : i should n't be telling you this . i mean , she is going to be working for you . kate , i 'm hoping that this will be like a second chance for sami , working at basic black . kate : whenever sami is feeling less than zero , she makes me enemy number one , which makes basic black the worst possible place for her to be , do n't you think ? sami : you 're my family . my grandparents are supposed to love me and keep me safe . you did n't fight for me . you did n't try to help your son save his marriage . caroline : stop right there , young lady . do n't you judge your grandfather and me . we did everything we could to keep your parents from splitting up , but marlena loved john . sami : you mean that she got a taste of the high life and never looked back . caroline : do n't you talk that way about your mother . sami : are you kidding me ? she went for the first high roller who came along . she abandoned me and eric and left my poor father heartbroken . caroline : oh , samantha brady . how can you have so much life experience , and so little tolerance of other people 's faults ? i mean , you know what it 's like to make a mistake . you want forgiveness and grace , so why ca n't you be less harsh in your judgment of others ? sami : when you say things like that , it makes you seem so good and noble . but the truth is , if you 're for what 's right , you 're against what 's wrong , and what john and mom did was wrong . caroline : things happen between a man and a woman that you do n't plan . i mean , you ought to know that . when it comes to love and passion , our minds are sometimes ruled by our heart , even if it means hurting others . it 's -- i 'm not saying it 's right . sami : well , yes , you are , because you 're siding with them against me , just like everyone else in this pathetic family . caroline : do n't you talk about your family that way . i wo n't have that . has n't marlena suffered enough without having her own daughter put her down ? sami : marlena 's a whore ! caroline : dear god ! sami : you know , grandma , you 're the one who taught me about the bible , and the 10 commandments say `` thou shall not commit adultery . `` caroline : the bible also speaks of forgiveness . sami : yeah , when the person confesses and repents , and that is not marlena . caroline : sami ! sami : well -- sorry , grandma . i apologize . i 'll forgive , okay ? i 'll forgive my head off . caroline : well , i hope you mean it . sami : i do . this conversation has ... helped me see the light . i 'm a changed person . caroline : if only that were true . sami : i love you , grandma . i 'm sorry , okay ? i'llee you later , and happy shopping . caroline : sami , call me soon . we 'll go out to dinner with your grandfather . he 'd love to see you . sami : i would love that . i will . i promise . take care . caroline : yeah . sami : sorry , grandma , but forgiveness ? no way . i am out for the sweet taste of revenge . brady : granddad , something must have happened last night . nicole was so upset , she climbed out of her bedroom window . victor : why do you care ? brady : because i live under the same roof . i notice these things . victor : look , some things that happen between a husband and wife are private , and impossible for outsiders to understand . look at bill and hillary . brady : i just want the two of you to be happy , okay ? victor : and i appreciate that , but trust me , our marriage will survive . now , why do n't you show me that new recording studio of yours ? brady : whoa . that was the smoothest change of gears i 've heard in a very long time . victor : well , watch and learn . come on , you owe me a tour . nicole : i 'll never get out of this hellhole . not without an ally . abe : no one on your staff can vouch for your whereabouts when my informant was being killed . tony : actually , i gave the staff -- well , most of them -- the rest of the day off . abe : what about the woman that answered the door ? tony : mabel ? oh , she was out all morning running errands . abe : rex and his girlfriend -- they were here . tony : yes , they were , but they left . i 've been alone for hours . abe : well , it looks like your luck has ruouout , dimera . no alibi . you 're on shaky ground . tony : why is it every time a crime is committed here in salem , i am automatically the suspect , hmm ? abe : i know your history . tony : how could i have possibly bashed in people 's skulls while i was in a coma , shot people at point - blank range , and they were miles away ? abe : i never said he was shot at point - blank range . how did you know that ? tony : i just read minds . abe : this is not a joke , damn it . tony : if you 're going to arrest me for murder , then do it . otherwise , get the hell out of my house . abe : one way or another , i 'm going to get the goods on you , dimera . shawn - d : you 're not welcome here . rex : yeah ? if you do n't like it , take off . belle : no , no , no , no . no , everyone stays , because we need workers . mimi : yeah , let 's start upstairs . you guys start downstairs , and maybe we can work our way back to one another by the end of the day . shawn - d : yeah , do n't count on it , all right ? you know , if the lights go off , watch your back , because he 's liable to hit you upside the head like he did my parents . philip : whoa . shawn , come on , man . rex : where the hell do you get off ? philip : no , shawn , no ! not here , man ! this is not the place , okay ? you calm yourself down ! shawn - d : philip , why do n't you stay out of it ? belle : stop ! mimi : no ! philip : back up ! shawn - d : just like a dimera , coming at me when my back is turned ! rex : you started this , breaking into my house and hacking into my computer files ! shawn - d : if i had those files , you 'd be in jail right now ! rex : i have nothing to hide ! i should have had you arrested for breaking and entering . mimi : stop it , you guys , please , both of you ! we all used to be friends ! we trusted one another , and we stood up for each other ! i 'm sick of this . belle : mimi 's right . we all need to get along . rex , you are my brother , and i care about you . anand i love you . i want to spend the rest of my life with you . and like it or not , we 're all going to be family . so please just try to get along . mimi : [ crying ] shawn - d : mimi , do n't cry . mimi : this is supposed to be fun . this is our first apartment . belle : mimi and i were really looking forward to decorating this place , making it our own . shawn - d : come on , it 's not too late to still have a good time . cassie : yeah , it 's been a lot of laughs so far . philip : we need to find a way to work together , you guys . shawn - d : you 're right . i still have my suspicions , but there 's no sense in figining . rex : your suspicions are wrong . i did n't attack your parents . belle : guys , please . do n't let the feud between the dimeras and the bradys continue into our generation . look at what it did to our parents . shawn - d : okay . wrestling match is over . philip : right , so let 's go back to our corners and come out painting . rex : meems . hey . come on . shawn - d : i 'm sorry . belle : yeah , me too . it started out to be such a good day . shawn - d : hey . it 's just important how we finish , right ? cassie : leave everything to me . belle and shawn are history . woman : will this work for you ? sami : well , the cut is nice , but the color 's not right . i need something that wo n't show blood . woman : what ? why ? sami : i 'm in the revenge business , and it can get very messy . woman : right . um , well , i 'll just go look for something that 's a little more blood - friendly . sami : [ laughs ] marlena : you 're in a good mood . sami : mom . how long have you been standing there ? marlena : long enough to hear you laughing . what 's so funny ? sami : i 'm just thrilled about my new job . higher than a kite . marlena : let me bring you down to earth , sami . what happened ? what did you say that upset your grandmother so ? sami : i just told her a few home truths . you know what a pollyanna grandma can be . she never deals with reality . brady : that better be lemonade . nicole : actually , it 's a new drink . i like to call it the colin murphy . one splash irish whiskey , one shot in the back , shake well , and put it on ice till the cops show up . brady : so that 's it . nicole : that 's what ? brady : that 's why you 're so upset . you 're haunted by the shooting on your wedding night . nicole : close , but no cigar . brady : nicole , that is not the answer . just give me it . put it down . nicole : brady , you do n't even know what the question is . brady : then clue me in , okay ? nicole : ask victor . brady : i did . hehe told me to butt out . nicole : ditto . brady : all right , you do n't want my help , then you 're on your own . nicole : okay . one question , but it 's got to be the right one . brady : okay . give me a hint . nicole : why do n't you ask me what the one good thing in my life is ? brady : what is the one good thing in your life ? nicole : you . cassie : leave it to belle to pick the color of urine for her walls . philip : ha ha . right . hey ! cassie ! try to keep it on the wall . come on . ahh . mimi : oh ! rex : watch where you 're going . belle : this is a disaster . shawn - d : i have an idea . belle : oh , quick , before they all kill each other . shawn - d : all right , everybody , break time . listen , pizza 's gon na be here in probably about 15 minutes , so , uh , put those paint brushes down , and i 'm gon na learn you all some oldies . belle : you 're a genius . shawn - d : show them how it 's done , babe . belle : what are you doing ? mimi : they 're so cute ! ai n't no valley low enough ... rex : hey , you want to dance ? mimi : as long as it does n't involve another competition . sure . philip : whoa ! cassie : can you stand it ?

phyllis : it was on a whim . it was a conversation i had that i forgot two seconds after i walked way . billy : you had to know something like this was gon na happen . phyllis : if you remember , i went out of town on my business trip . things heated up between the two of them when i was away ! billy : sounds oddly convenient . phyllis : you know what , it sound like it 's very suspicious to you . you do n't believe me ! billy : i 'm not sure if i believe you . okay ? hochman took advantage of victoria personally , and everything blew up with them on television , okay ? that 's not a good thing . and do you know the damage that could have happened to the company if she would have followed through with the loan from him ? phyllis : you think i want to hurt the company ? billy : well , victoria does ! phyllis : well , i do n't give a damn what victoria thinks ! billy : yeah , and i told her she was off base , but now i 'm not so sure . was she ? phyllis : i admit , i screwed up . benjamin hochman is no prize . some people would even call him a sleaze . billy : then why would you do this ? phyllis : because when i suggested that hochman look her up , i cared about one thing , and that is that -- you know what ? maybe they would get along . maybe victoria would have some semblance of a social life , and you would n't be so guilt - ridden . billy : i do n't even know what that means , phyllis . what are you trying to -- phyllis : when you and i got back together ... victoria was left alone . she wanted you back . and whether you admit it or not , you did n't want to hurt her . so you overcompensated . you became the best co - worker ever , you put in killer hours , and you were on - call to whatever , whenever . billy : so you did this to protect me from being overworked ? is that what this is ? phyllis : did you ever tell me that victoria needed money to keep the company afloat ? billy : no . phyllis : okay , then how would i have known that she was gon na hit him up for a loan ? or end up on tv giving the guy holy hell ? what i knew for sure is that i was losing my lover to a needy boss . and i wanted you back . devon : it was just a run - in , okay ? she was coming from the gym , i was leaving the office . lily : oh , please , she planned it . devon : we 're divorced for a reason , okay ? she was n't looking to see me any more than i was looking to see her . lily : okay , do you or do you not leave the office at the same time every day ? devon : yes . on most days , i do . lily : okay , then it 's not a coincidence . and you 've said hilary was evasive about jordan . devon : well , i mean ... like you told me , they just broke up , so maybe she was sad that , you know , they 're not gon na end up together . lily : aww , leave it to my sweet brother to come up with the most generous interpretation possible . devon : i could be right about that . lily : yeah , if it was n't hilary ! do n't forget why you guys broke up -- all the lies and manipulation . do n't let her suck you back into her vortex . devon : nobody 's getting sucked in . i -- we had drinks . that 's it . lily : let me guess -- after the first round , she said something like , `` oh , this is so much fun , let 's have another . `` see ? i knew it . too bad you did n't have plans with mariah . then you could have used that as an excuse . devon : well , actually , i did have plans with mariah that night . lily : you canceled on your girlfriend ? devon : we got to talking and time got away from me . lily : devon , why would you do that ? mariah adores you . do n't let hilary ruin that . devon : i know . i might be doing that all on my own . hilary : that 's good . put that in , take that out . mariah : so , this breakup between you and jordan -- did that happen in the last hour or so ? hilary : i do n't know , mariah . have you seen him around here lately ? mariah : no , i have n't , which means that you chose precisely the right moment to spring this news on me . hoping , obviously , for maximum impact . but i 'm sorry to say , hilary , it 's a hit and a miss because i just do n't care . hilary : really ? you 're not even a little concerned about where things stand between you and devon ? mariah : because of your sudden availability ? um , no . i don't . because the thing is , devon had you , he divorced you . and so as far as he 's concerned , you 're just ... history . hilary : `` history . `` that 's an interesting word . especially since i 'm the one with the long , charged , intense , committed relationship with the man , and you two , well ... you guys are just such great pals . ashley : graham e - mailed this report to you with a note that said -- `` lots of good info in here . `` dina : graham is a trusted confidant . i wanted his take on things . what 's wrong with that ? ashley : he does n't work here ! dina : that does n't make a shred of difference . ashley : i know that your faith in graham knows no bounds . you made him your heir . dina : he is an invaluable asset , both personally and at mergeron . ashley : where he was employed , mother . dina : yes . ashley : okay , if the situation was reversed , and i did something like this with one of mergeron 's subsidiaries , you never would stand for it ! because we do n't share sensitive business documents with people outside of the company , no matter who they are ! dina : but in this instance , it 's different , and you should be thanking me . ashley : for leaking sensitive business documents ? dina : for reaping the benefits of graham 's talent and ingenuity , for free . ashley : okay , you have made him privy to our analytics , our projections , our budgets -- everything ! and all he has to do is take this information and share it with the highest bidder , and it would do serious and irreparable damage to our company . all thanks to you ! dina : graham would never hurt this company because that would mean hurting me , and you know , ashley , i really resent what you 're implying about my judgment . ashley : what judgment ? that 's the whole point . you have n't shown any . dina : then why am i working here if you mistrust me so damn much ? ashley : mother , you and i both know that a company excels or implodes based on how well they keep their secrets . you banked on that very premise when you tried to make your own move for jabot years ago . dina : [ chuckles ] and i nearly pulled it off , did n't i ? ashley : i need to know what other information you let graham review ? was it just part of the confidential data that was entrusted to you , or all of it ? dina : i ca n't believe that you would think that he would try a clandestine takeover of jabot . even if you had a legitimate complaint , you undermined it completely with that supposition . ashley : could you please just answer the question ? dina : you know , maybe we were n't close when you were growing up , but you have my blood . i would have thought you were smarter than that . nick : hey , ladies . victoria : oh , hi . mwah ! nikki : hey ! this is unexpected . nick : yeah . you guys , uh , having dinner ? nikki : yeah . victoria : we sure are . would you like to join us ? nick : eh , i do n't know . i mean , i 'd like to , but i just ran into dad downstairs in the gym . nikki : you mean , i may have to actually see victor ? nick : that 's funny , mom . nikki : well , thanks for the heads up . listen , did you get an unexpected delivery at chelsea 's ? nick : yes . did you talk to dad about having faith 's bedroom set sent over ? nikki : well , i tried to talk some sense into him . i do n't know if i was successful . nick : you were . victoria : oh ! well , did you thank dad ? nick : what are you , the manners police ? victoria : no , i 'm just hoping for a lessening in hostilities , you know ? he made a generous gesture , you show your appreciation , and over time , maybe there will be a tentative truce . nick : well this time , it led to some not - so - subtle probings into my business dealings with noah . victoria : what did he want to know ? nick : he just wants me to fail so he can prove he 's right about everything . victor : i am right about everything , except you refuse to listen . victoria : hey , you know , it 's been a while since the four of us have sat down together for dinner . nick : you 're not suggesting ... victoria : well , i mean , we are a family . we can at least be civil with one another for the length of a meal . i am serious . nick : well , i will nominate you for the president of the optimists club . i 'm out . good night , mom . nikki : good night , honey . nick : bye , vick . victor : well , i 'm not averse to breaking bread with you and your mother . nikki : look , i know what you 're trying to do , and it 's just too soon in my opinion . tonight , anyway . good night . victor : well . and then there were just the two of us . phyllis : victoria 's supposed to be a great businesswoman , but maybe if she would n't let the stresses from her work get to her so much , she would have written hochman off as a creep right away . billy : phyllis , that 's not a great excuse for this . phyllis : i admit that i am guilty of putting benjamin into her orbit , but beyond that , i mean , should n't she take some responsibility for how things went ? for getting into an argument at a hotel corridor and getting caught on tape , in the middle of a screaming fit ? billy : you know she 's the mother of my children , right ? phyllis : and your boss in your up - and - coming business , and i am the woman in your life that you are in love with , who shares your home . do n't you think that you should hold your ex - wife a little bit accountable for what 's going on in hers ? billy : you messed up . i know you did n't mean to . it 's not entirely your fault . `` the young and the restless `` will continue . mariah : devon kissing me on the golden gate bridge , chinatown , fisherman 's wharf ... hilary : what is this supposed to prove ? mariah : `` pals . `` that 's the word that you used to describe us . well , i do n't know about you , but i think we look like a hell of a lot more than that in these photos . especially this one . oh , my gosh , that 's one my -- that 's my favorite . hilary : you should have been there when devon and i had drinks the other night . see , we did n't need an artificial event to paint the picture of a happy couple . even the air between us was electric . mariah : for you . but for me and devon , you 're nothing but hot air . excuse me . i have someplace to be . hilary : one more thing before you go . when devon blew you off to have drinks with me , he did n't call you , did he ? no . he texted . so he did n't see the need for you to hear his voice . maybe reassure you that he would n't be long . nah . he just let his thumbs do the talking . yeah , so , um , you just go ahead believing that you have something special with devon . devon : so , when mariah found out why i did n't show up to the underground that night , we kind of had a little fight . lily : you said you were with hilary . devon : well , i told her i was talking to hilary , and there was nothing to hide , you know ? but she saw it the way you do and thinks that hilary was trying to keep me here on purpose , away from her . lily : that 's bad . devon : yeah . and it gets worse . 'cause while we were talking about everything , she brought up the fact that i have n't said `` i love you `` yet to her , even though she said it to me . lily : that 's not really a way to endear yourself to a woman . devon : yeah , well , she was so upset during the conversation and things got so intense that i kind of started to ... lily : no , do n't tell me you told her in the middle of a fight . devon : yeah , i -- i tried , and she was n't having it . lily : good ! good for her . devon : the truth is , though , lily , i 've -- i 've been in love before , you know ? and when i get that feeling about mariah , that i love her , i 'll be the first one to tell anybody -- tell the world . you know ? i 'm that guy . lily : do you think that will ever come ? devon : yeah . i mean ... you know ... i do n't know , maybe there is a reason why i have n't gotten there yet . ashley : i 'm sorry if i upset you , mother , but this is n't about you or me or the past . jabot is at stake here , and this relationship with graham that you have is something that i do n't understand . dina : no , you do n't understand it . ashley : i 've been trying for a long time ! dina : well , think about it , ashley . if graham were as untrustworthy as you keep implying , would n't he be trying to get closer faster to my inheritance ? or perhaps maybe he would put a soupçon of arsenic into my tea every night ! ashley : so , what , then , he helps you ? dina : graham 's input makes me even more valuable to you and jack . ashley : well , that 's one way of looking at it , or , uh , you could say that it 's possessive . dina : oh , that 's absurd . ashley : is it ? he has to know where you are every second of the day , mother . dina : he cares about me , ashley . that 's all . he cares . ashley : so you 're asking me to risk jabot based on what this man claims to feel for you ? dina : you know , i 'm sorry that you do n't have someone in your life to care about you that way . ashley : okay . dina : and you have no idea how comforting it is to know that you 're not alone . [ scoffs ] well , i 'm calling it a night . unless you have something else for which to reprimand me . [ knocks on door ] ravi : hey ! oh ! uh , sorry to interrupt . ashley : not at all . ravi : we can talk later . ashley : no . we 're done here . lily : look , do n't worry about not being able to say the `` l `` word right now , you know ? that time will come . what 's the rush , anyway ? devon : well , nothing , unless mariah gets tired of waiting for me . lily : well , hopefully she 's too smart for that and realizes that she 's lucky to have someone who wo n't lie to her . devon : like cane did to you . lily : yeah . to have a partner who respects you and themselves enough to be honest with you . that 's everything . devon : yeah . well , i sure did n't have that with hilary . lily : i thought i had that with cane , and look how that turned out . devon : yeah . mariah : i am through listening to you tear down what i 've got with devon . hilary : come on . your relationship with devon is about as special as a bag of steamed carrots . you seem closer to your friend little miss alternative than you do to him . mariah : save your fantasies for somebody else who does n't know you better . i 'm going home . hilary : whoa , whoa , whoa . home ? not devon 's place ? ah , that 's right . [ laughing ] you still live at home with your mom , instead of with your supposedly serious boyfriend . come on , mariah . just be honest with yourself . is n't it possible that the two of you have just peaked ? nick : i 'm surprised you did n't stay to eat with dad and vick . nikki : look , i have no problem being civil to the man , but that does n't mean i have to socialize with him . anyway , he had somebody to join him . you didn't . nick : i hate making you choose . nikki : he is always going to be in our lives , and right now , for me , the best thing is to keep our interaction to a minimum . it 's the recipe for inner peace . nick : you sound like a zen master . nikki : namaste , the newman way . nick : [ laughs ] victor : it is n't lost on me that you were willing to share a table with me tonight , unlike your mother and your brother . i also wish that our last meeting would have been a bit friendlier . victoria : you know , dad , i -- victor : what ? victoria : i overreacted when you offered me the loan for brash & sassy . victor : that 's nice of you to say . victoria : but i do n't think it was right of you to kick nick off the ranch . victor : it was necessary , my darling . victoria : i do n't think so . but as long as nick is okay with it , then i suppose i am , too . victor : let 's not discuss this , okay ? i 'm just happy that you got the loan you needed for your business . i do know that neil lent you the money , and i 'm very happy about that rather than getting the money from that shyster who intended to do you harm . victoria : oh , my gosh , can we please not discuss benjamin hochman and my unfortunate appearance on `` the hilary hour ? `` victor : what , i ca n't say to you that i 'm happy that you got the money from neil ? what 's wrong with that ? victoria : nothing . victor : okay . victoria : thank you , dad . i appreciate it . and now i have to ask you for some advice . victor : personal or business ? victoria : business . victor : okay . ask . billy : this ongoing war with jack , it 's eating me up . and i know that it 's not gon na end anytime soon . on top of that , this whole thing with ben hochman , it -- i 'm sorry , okay ? i said things that i should n't have . phyllis : so am i . billy : phyllis , i wish i could tell you that i 'm not gon na work as much , that i 'm gon na spend more time with you . i just ca n't do that right now , okay ? vicki and i , we do n't have time to slow down right now . with everything we know , what jack is trying to pull off here , there 's just as much that we do n't know . phyllis : maybe you 're making this more complicated than it needs to be , you know ? you got the loan . you could build the company up , and jack , you know , he 's just probably being competitive . you know , that 's his defining trait . billy : jack is competitive with every company that does what he does . this is different with us , okay ? he wants to destroy us . this is an act of war . phyllis : i do n't know about that . billy : phyllis , he wants us decimated . phyllis : is this about the fenmore 's thing ? billy : what do you know about that ? phyllis : just rumblings . all right ? that you and victoria came to jabot and you were throwing around accusations that jabot wanted to take your products off of lauren 's shelves . how did you suspect that in the first place ? billy : i mean , it was n't that hard . we noticed that our reorders were down , so vicki smelled a rat . phyllis : you know , if jack went there , it does n't matter . lauren wants to keep selling brash & sassy . she 's got your back . she has the final word . billy : thank you . she 's not the only one . ashley : my mother did n't budge not one inch . she sees nothing wrong with sharing company secrets with graham . because she likes his input . because she trusts him . ravi : okay . you ca n't relate to that ? ashley : well , i 'm sure my mother does n't think i can , but obviously i can because i trust you , right ? but you deserve it because you 've earned it . graham , on the other hand ... ravi : yeah , you 've always been suspicious of him . ashley : you know , she said something that really struck me when she was talking about his inheritance . she said that if he was really that untrustworthy , then why would n't he try to speed up the inheritance process ? ravi : yeah , i 'm sure she was overstating to make a point . ashley : yeah , a silly notion . or is it ? ravi : wait , you think -- you seriously think graham wants dina to die ? ashley : you know what , it would serve his interests , would n't it ? i mean , he would get his money a hell of a lot faster . he would n't have to worry about any of her annoying children ever again . ravi : ashley , that 's , uh ... ashley : mercenary , i know , but it 's possible . ravi : [ sighs ] we do n't know much about the guy . ashley : no , we don't . there 's so many years unaccounted for in his background . ravi : if there was anything criminal , it would have come up in my search . ashley : look , i do n't care what my mother says . i do n't trust graham . i have n't since the first time he came into genoa city . i 've always had it in for him . ravi : why 'd you back off ? ashley : because i thought he made her happy . but you know what , underneath that smarmy , confident smile , there 's somebody that we know far too little about . i want to know where he 's been , who he knows , what he 's after . all of it . graham : sending you that e - mail referencing the report was sloppy . i should have been more discreet . dina : oh , no , it 's fine . all that ashley knows is that you provided a take on my work . graham : we 've had this conversation before . dina : i know . graham : jack and ashley have given you a position of responsibility , and yet , they burden you . dina : well , it 'll all blow over , do n't worry . graham : just call jack and let him know it 's not working out . then you and i can return to paris . dina : no , no , no . i have made a commitment , and i intend to keep it . work is -- is good for me . the challenge of it . and it 's no burden at all . graham : well , it 's up to you , of course . as for me , i have no choice . i must return to paris and deal with an issue regarding my apartment . dina : what ? graham : it happened this afternoon . it 's nothing that i ca n't deal with , but it needs to be in person . dina : [ scoffs ] can it wait ? graham : i have to start packing , so if there 's nothing else ... dina : [ sighs ] well , uh ... good luck . um ... graham ! i 'll see you when you return . graham : the trip will be as quick as i can make it . dina : oh , my god . oh ! what am i gon na do ? [ sighs ] victoria : so , the loan is in place , but we 've got to get out of this slump that we 're in . and we have a mountain to climb . and i 'm talking mount everest . victor : mm - hmm . well , then you 've come to the right person for advice . nikki : i 've been there if you want my take ... nick : i could use it . nikki : you 're trying to make your father less of a presence in your life , and that 's not working . victor : sweetheart , you need to change how people perceive your message -- both the buyers and the general public . victoria : but with all of the bad pr ... victor : to hell with it . change the message . victoria : the negative press is already out there . how ? victor : forget the negative press . become proactive . nikki : look , continuing to fight with victor on his terms is only gon na force you to deal with him more . nick : it 's unavoidable . nikki : if all you do is react to him ... nick : ... then i 'm still being controlled by him . nikki : all right , maybe i 'm biased here because it 's working for me , but just be proactive . live your life . victor : then you will define your own narrative . victoria : it 's counterintuitive , but you 're right . i have been trying to redefine a lot of things lately . victor : it 's about time . and whenever you 're ready to not follow your mother 's and your brother 's lead , you and i can maybe put all this tension behind us . billy : i still feel bad about some of the things that i said to you . phyllis : yeah . if i had n't gone to benjamin hochman and let all of my insecurities play out ... i 'm sorry for what i did , billy . billy : how do we fix this ? phyllis : i do n't know . i wish i could spend as much time with you as victoria does . billy : phyllis ... phyllis : i know that you 're not attracted to her , and i know that it is over . and that 's all that matters . billy : you know how much i love you . only you . phyllis : i 'm not used to seeing you look so intense . billy : i just want you to know . phyllis : done and done . billy : not quite yet . [ next_on ] hilary : how 's it going ? you winning , or are you losing ? billy : i think there 's something we should talk about . victoria : it 's fine . billy : you do n't know what i 'm gon na say . victoria : the kiss . billy : okay , you do know . sharon : you have no idea how glad i am to see you . | at the offices of brash and sassy , victoria tells nikki that she had set phyllis straight on a few things . nikki is thrilled . hilary confronts mariah that she is still living at home instead of with devon and that she is using tessa to cry on her shoulder over devon . lily and devon discuss hilary and him having a talk with her instead of meeting mariah as he had planned . lily fears here we go again when it comes to hilary . ashley is in jack 's office at jabot when dina comes in to work . ashley confronts her about sharing jabot information with graham . victor and nick have yet another confrontation , as usual , over nick using newman money to fund his new business . victor warns him not to come running to him when his new business venture fails . nikki tells victoria that she had a talk with jack and he had denies any involvement . billy asks phyllis as to why she had talked to benjamin hochman in the first place . when phyllis explains to him about her involvement billy tells her that he does n't believe her . phyllis explains all to billy about her involvement with benjamin hochman . mariah confronts hilary about her breakup with jordan . ashley confronts dina about graham getting involved in jabot business . | <s>[INST] victor : [ breathing heavily ] nick : [ sighs ] victor : so you 're paying your own gym dues ? glad to see that . nick : yeah , it turns out there 's some benefits to having your own account . victor : is this a sudden growth spurt in maturity and responsibility , or what ? nick : no , actually , they asked me on the rules committee , so , uh , why do n't you make sure you wipe off the equipment when you 're done with it ? victor : you gon na fine me if i do n't ? nick : i think i 'll let you off with a warning this time , considering you did the right thing the other day . i mean , life is just full of surprises . nikki : could n't resist . victoria : i thought you left ! nikki : well , i did . i almost made it to the lobby , but then i decided to come up here and see how you were doing after our talk earlier . victoria : i am awesome . actually , i am fantastic . nikki : really ? why ? victoria : i got phyllis alone , and i set her straight , and it was fun . [ door unlocks ] phyllis : i 've been waiting for you . billy : sorry , i did n't know you were -- sorry , go ahead . phyllis : you just left victoria . billy : yeah . phyllis : yeah , i know she told you . we fought about it in the elevator when we got stuck in there , and i have been going over everything , and i 've been trying to figure out how to explain it to you , what i should say , and i ... told benjamin hochman to look up victoria because i thought , `` hey , you know , they 're single . maybe they would enjoy each other , you know ? `` but knowing victoria , she probably made an innocent set - up date sound like some evil , vindictive plan , so ... what did she tell you ? billy : she did n't tell me anything . not a word . this is the first i 'm hearing that . hilary : it 's about time that your indie pal left . next time you need a shoulder to cry on , why do n't you take it out to the patio ? because we reserve this space for our actual work . mariah : oh , hilary , how you love to spin . see , i do n't cry on shoulders . i make mean little girls run home to their mamas . hilary : if that 's directed at me , my mother 's dead . hilary : come on . mariah , i know you what 's going on between you and tessa . you 're heartbroken because things are n't working out between you and devon , and your little friend , she 's trying to make things all better . mariah : you really do n't know what you 're talking about . hilary : okay . well , i hate to make things worse for you , but hey , why not ? i was gon na tell you this before , but devon interrupted us . mariah : do you need a map to get to your point ? hilary : jordan and i broke up . so i am a free agent . but probably not for long . devon : hilary and jordan are done ? lily : yep . she ruined that relationship in record time . devon : when did this happen ? lily : a few days ago . devon : we were just here a few days ago . we had drinks together . lily : and she did n't tell you ? devon : no . i mean , now that i think about it , she kind of avoided any questions that i asked about jordan ... lily : well , yeah , of course she did . you 're her ex - husband . she does n't want to seem guy - less to you . did she hit on you ? devon : no . no . she just said that she was happy we got a chance to reconnect . lily : [ scoffs ] here we go again . [ knocks on door ] dina : oh , good ! i see you have the report . ashley : yes , i was just going over it . dina : well , i know how important this line is to you , so i made a thorough analysis . ashley : yes , it is very thorough . dina : good . ashley : all sorts of untapped avenues that we can exploit as we move forward with our marketing strategy . dina : mm - hmm . ashley : lots of good info . dina : well , i 'm awfully glad that you and jack appreciate my expertise . ashley : we 'll have to make sure and guard this from the competition . dina : oh , well , that goes without saying , dear . ashley : i thought it did , too . but you 've given somebody who does not work at this company complete access to every single word in this report . graham , mother . why would you share this information with graham before jack and i have even had a chance to look at it ? please explain that to me . additional sponsorship victor : i guess you 're referring to faith 's furniture that i had sent to your place ? nick : have you done anything else right by me lately ? victor : you honestly think i sent that furniture to please you ? i do n't give a damn about what you think , son . i sent that for faith 's sake , okay ? nick : unlike me . victor : that 's right , unlike you , who failed to inform faith that you 'd moved to your girlfriend 's house until after she came home from camp . what kind of a father does that ? nick : you 're gon na talk to me about being a good father ? victor : your negligence will not only hurt faith but also my grandson and your son noah . nick : really ? i 'm looking forward to hearing this . victor : i understand that you moved your accounts away from our financial advisor . nick : yeah , i did . i figured you 'd hear about that sooner or later . victor : that 's right . what , was that an attempt at trying to be independent , or what ? nick : just trying to expand a successful business . what do you have against that ? victor : you 're doing it on your own instead of tapping into a resource -- a true and tried resource that 's made a lot of money for our family . you 're winging it , son . nick : maybe you 're just frustrated that dean ca n't spy on me for you anymore . victor : the hell -- he 's not a spy . you damn well know that . he 's one of the greatest wall street whizzes around . made a lot of money for us . nick : yeah . you 're telling me this 'cause you 're concerned for me ? victor : i do n't give a damn what you do . i 'm concerned for your family and for noah and faith . nick : you know , dad , i 've run successful businesses before . i even ran yours . victor : really ? nick : mm - hmm . victor : should i count the failures ? nick : you do n't think i can succeed without you . victor : do n't come running to me when you go broke . nick : i think i 'm gon na be just fine . in fact , why do n't you , uh , pick yourself up some mineral waters and put them on my account ? victor : you sure you can afford it ? nick : i got you . victor : okay . victoria : do you know how long i have been waiting to put phyllis in her place ? nikki : quite a while , i would imagine . how did she react ? victoria : how do you think ? nikki : uh ... she denied it , evaded it , and then blamed the whole thing on you . victoria : wow , mom , it 's as if you were there . [ laughs ] nikki : [ chuckles ] victoria : you know what ? i put phyllis on notice that i 'm onto her , and she better watch her back . nikki : good for you . victoria : i 'm sure you did just as well , did n't you ? nikki : what are you talking about ? all right , i did have a talk with jack about the way he 's been treating you and your company . victoria : you did n't have to do that , mom . nikki : i 'm your mother . i can do anything i want . and even though you did get the satisfaction of telling phyllis off , she is still in the picture where billy is concerned , so ... i do n't know what to tell you about that . victoria : well ... [ sighs ] nikki : what ? is there something more ? victoria : you know , going after phyllis was n't even the best part of my day . that happened afterwards , right here in this office , when i was alone with billy . nikki : what ? victoria : [ laughing ] no , mom , it 's not what you 're thinking . nikki : [ laughing ] i 'm not thinking anything ! victoria : there was just a moment when i knew that if i 'm careful and if i 'm patient , i think billy 's gon na come around . nikki : really ? you sure you 're not misreading anything ? victoria : i was married to him , mom . i know him . and i 'm finally starting to feel really good about things for a change , after all of the stress with the company and not feeling like myself . nikki : i know . you 've said you 've been feeling off . victoria : it 's just very freeing to have something positive to focus on for a change . nikki : well , do n't get too far ahead of yourself because phyllis , after all , still is phyllis . victoria : well , i know that , but today felt like a turning point . nikki : well , good . let 's celebrate . i 'll take you out to dinner . victoria : okay ! you do n't have to twist my arm ! billy : what part of connecting victoria and hochman together did you think was a good idea ? phyllis : look , i just -- billy : the guy 's a user , phyllis , you know that . so why would you do such a thing ? phyllis : okay , you are upset . billy : yeah , i 'm upset right now . phyllis : i was just playing matchmaker , that 's all . billy : so you thought you were doing victoria a favor ? phyllis : it was on a whim . it was a conversation i had that i forgot two seconds after i walked way . billy : you had to know something like this was gon na happen . phyllis : if you remember , i went out of town on my business trip . things heated up between the two of them when i was away ! billy : sounds oddly convenient . phyllis : you know what , it sound like it 's very suspicious to you . you do n't believe me ! billy : i 'm not sure if i believe you . okay ? hochman took advantage of victoria personally , and everything blew up with them on television , okay ? that 's not a good thing . and do you know the damage that could have happened to the company if she would have followed through with the loan from him ? phyllis : you think i want to hurt the company ? billy : well , victoria does ! phyllis : well , i do n't give a damn what victoria thinks ! billy : yeah , and i told her she was off base , but now i 'm not so sure . was she ? phyllis : i admit , i screwed up . benjamin hochman is no prize . some people would even call him a sleaze . billy : then why would you do this ? phyllis : because when i suggested that hochman look her up , i cared about one thing , and that is that -- you know what ? maybe they would get along . maybe victoria would have some semblance of a social life , and you would n't be so guilt - ridden . billy : i do n't even know what that means , phyllis . what are you trying to -- phyllis : when you and i got back together ... victoria was left alone . she wanted you back . and whether you admit it or not , you did n't want to hurt her . so you overcompensated . you became the best co - worker ever , you put in killer hours , and you were on - call to whatever , whenever . billy : so you did this to protect me from being overworked ? is that what this is ? phyllis : did you ever tell me that victoria needed money to keep the company afloat ? billy : no . phyllis : okay , then how would i have known that she was gon na hit him up for a loan ? or end up on tv giving the guy holy hell ? what i knew for sure is that i was losing my lover to a needy boss . and i wanted you back . devon : it was just a run - in , okay ? she was coming from the gym , i was leaving the office . lily : oh , please , she planned it . devon : we 're divorced for a reason , okay ? she was n't looking to see me any more than i was looking to see her . lily : okay , do you or do you not leave the office at the same time every day ? devon : yes . on most days , i do . lily : okay , then it 's not a coincidence . and you 've said hilary was evasive about jordan . devon : well , i mean ... like you told me , they just broke up , so maybe she was sad that , you know , they 're not gon na end up together . lily : aww , leave it to my sweet brother to come up with the most generous interpretation possible . devon : i could be right about that . lily : yeah , if it was n't hilary ! do n't forget why you guys broke up -- all the lies and manipulation . do n't let her suck you back into her vortex . devon : nobody 's getting sucked in . i -- we had drinks . that 's it . lily : let me guess -- after the first round , she said something like , `` oh , this is so much fun , let 's have another . `` see ? i knew it . too bad you did n't have plans with mariah . then you could have used that as an excuse . devon : well , actually , i did have plans with mariah that night . lily : you canceled on your girlfriend ? devon : we got to talking and time got away from me . lily : devon , why would you do that ? mariah adores you . do n't let hilary ruin that . devon : i know . i might be doing that all on my own . hilary : that 's good . put that in , take that out . mariah : so , this breakup between you and jordan -- did that happen in the last hour or so ? hilary : i do n't know , mariah . have you seen him around here lately ? mariah : no , i have n't , which means that you chose precisely the right moment to spring this news on me . hoping , obviously , for maximum impact . but i 'm sorry to say , hilary , it 's a hit and a miss because i just do n't care . hilary : really ? you 're not even a little concerned about where things stand between you and devon ? mariah : because of your sudden availability ? um , no . i don't . because the thing is , devon had you , he divorced you . and so as far as he 's concerned , you 're just ... history . hilary : `` history . `` that 's an interesting word . especially since i 'm the one with the long , charged , intense , committed relationship with the man , and you two , well ... you guys are just such great pals . ashley : graham e - mailed this report to you with a note that said -- `` lots of good info in here . `` dina : graham is a trusted confidant . i wanted his take on things . what 's wrong with that ? ashley : he does n't work here ! dina : that does n't make a shred of difference . ashley : i know that your faith in graham knows no bounds . you made him your heir . dina : he is an invaluable asset , both personally and at mergeron . ashley : where he was employed , mother . dina : yes . ashley : okay , if the situation was reversed , and i did something like this with one of mergeron 's subsidiaries , you never would stand for it ! because we do n't share sensitive business documents with people outside of the company , no matter who they are ! dina : but in this instance , it 's different , and you should be thanking me . ashley : for leaking sensitive business documents ? dina : for reaping the benefits of graham 's talent and ingenuity , for free . ashley : okay , you have made him privy to our analytics , our projections , our budgets -- everything ! and all he has to do is take this information and share it with the highest bidder , and it would do serious and irreparable damage to our company . all thanks to you ! dina : graham would never hurt this company because that would mean hurting me , and you know , ashley , i really resent what you 're implying about my judgment . ashley : what judgment ? that 's the whole point . you have n't shown any . dina : then why am i working here if you mistrust me so damn much ? ashley : mother , you and i both know that a company excels or implodes based on how well they keep their secrets . you banked on that very premise when you tried to make your own move for jabot years ago . dina : [ chuckles ] and i nearly pulled it off , did n't i ? ashley : i need to know what other information you let graham review ? was it just part of the confidential data that was entrusted to you , or all of it ? dina : i ca n't believe that you would think that he would try a clandestine takeover of jabot . even if you had a legitimate complaint , you undermined it completely with that supposition . ashley : could you please just answer the question ? dina : you know , maybe we were n't close when you were growing up , but you have my blood . i would have thought you were smarter than that . nick : hey , ladies . victoria : oh , hi . mwah ! nikki : hey ! this is unexpected . nick : yeah . you guys , uh , having dinner ? nikki : yeah . victoria : we sure are . would you like to join us ? nick : eh , i do n't know . i mean , i 'd like to , but i just ran into dad downstairs in the gym . nikki : you mean , i may have to actually see victor ? nick : that 's funny , mom . nikki : well , thanks for the heads up . listen , did you get an unexpected delivery at chelsea 's ? nick : yes . did you talk to dad about having faith 's bedroom set sent over ? nikki : well , i tried to talk some sense into him . i do n't know if i was successful . nick : you were . victoria : oh ! well , did you thank dad ? nick : what are you , the manners police ? victoria : no , i 'm just hoping for a lessening in hostilities , you know ? he made a generous gesture , you show your appreciation , and over time , maybe there will be a tentative truce . nick : well this time , it led to some not - so - subtle probings into my business dealings with noah . victoria : what did he want to know ? nick : he just wants me to fail so he can prove he 's right about everything . victor : i am right about everything , except you refuse to listen . victoria : hey , you know , it 's been a while since the four of us have sat down together for dinner . nick : you 're not suggesting ... victoria : well , i mean , we are a family . we can at least be civil with one another for the length of a meal . i am serious . nick : well , i will nominate you for the president of the optimists club . i 'm out . good night , mom . nikki : good night , honey . nick : bye , vick . victor : well , i 'm not averse to breaking bread with you and your mother . nikki : look , i know what you 're trying to do , and it 's just too soon in my opinion . tonight , anyway . good night . victor : well . and then there were just the two of us . phyllis : victoria 's supposed to be a great businesswoman , but maybe if she would n't let the stresses from her work get to her so much , she would have written hochman off as a creep right away . billy : phyllis , that 's not a great excuse for this . phyllis : i admit that i am guilty of putting benjamin into her orbit , but beyond that , i mean , should n't she take some responsibility for how things went ? for getting into an argument at a hotel corridor and getting caught on tape , in the middle of a screaming fit ? billy : you know she 's the mother of my children , right ? phyllis : and your boss in your up - and - coming business , and i am the woman in your life that you are in love with , who shares your home . do n't you think that you should hold your ex - wife a little bit accountable for what 's going on in hers ? billy : you messed up . i know you did n't mean to . it 's not entirely your fault . `` the young and the restless `` will continue . mariah : devon kissing me on the golden gate bridge , chinatown , fisherman 's wharf ... hilary : what is this supposed to prove ? mariah : `` pals . `` that 's the word that you used to describe us . well , i do n't know about you , but i think we look like a hell of a lot more than that in these photos . especially this one . oh , my gosh , that 's one my -- that 's my favorite . hilary : you should have been there when devon and i had drinks the other night . see , we did n't need an artificial event to paint the picture of a happy couple . even the air between us was electric . mariah : for you . but for me and devon , you 're nothing but hot air . excuse me . i have someplace to be . hilary : one more thing before you go . when devon blew you off to have drinks with me , he did n't call you , did he ? no . he texted . so he did n't see the need for you to hear his voice . maybe reassure you that he would n't be long . nah . he just let his thumbs do the talking . yeah , so , um , you just go ahead believing that you have something special with devon . devon : so , when mariah found out why i did n't show up to the underground that night , we kind of had a little fight . lily : you said you were with hilary . devon : well , i told her i was talking to hilary , and there was nothing to hide , you know ? but she saw it the way you do and thinks that hilary was trying to keep me here on purpose , away from her . lily : that 's bad . devon : yeah . and it gets worse . 'cause while we were talking about everything , she brought up the fact that i have n't said `` i love you `` yet to her , even though she said it to me . lily : that 's not really a way to endear yourself to a woman . devon : yeah , well , she was so upset during the conversation and things got so intense that i kind of started to ... lily : no , do n't tell me you told her in the middle of a fight . devon : yeah , i -- i tried , and she was n't having it . lily : good ! good for her . devon : the truth is , though , lily , i 've -- i 've been in love before , you know ? and when i get that feeling about mariah , that i love her , i 'll be the first one to tell anybody -- tell the world . you know ? i 'm that guy . lily : do you think that will ever come ? devon : yeah . i mean ... you know ... i do n't know , maybe there is a reason why i have n't gotten there yet . ashley : i 'm sorry if i upset you , mother , but this is n't about you or me or the past . jabot is at stake here , and this relationship with graham that you have is something that i do n't understand . dina : no , you do n't understand it . ashley : i 've been trying for a long time ! dina : well , think about it , ashley . if graham were as untrustworthy as you keep implying , would n't he be trying to get closer faster to my inheritance ? or perhaps maybe he would put a soupçon of arsenic into my tea every night ! ashley : so , what , then , he helps you ? dina : graham 's input makes me even more valuable to you and jack . ashley : well , that 's one way of looking at it , or , uh , you could say that it 's possessive . dina : oh , that 's absurd . ashley : is it ? he has to know where you are every second of the day , mother . dina : he cares about me , ashley . that 's all . he cares . ashley : so you 're asking me to risk jabot based on what this man claims to feel for you ? dina : you know , i 'm sorry that you do n't have someone in your life to care about you that way . ashley : okay . dina : and you have no idea how comforting it is to know that you 're not alone . [ scoffs ] well , i 'm calling it a night . unless you have something else for which to reprimand me . [ knocks on door ] ravi : hey ! oh ! uh , sorry to interrupt . ashley : not at all . ravi : we can talk later . ashley : no . we 're done here . lily : look , do n't worry about not being able to say the `` l `` word right now , you know ? that time will come . what 's the rush , anyway ? devon : well , nothing , unless mariah gets tired of waiting for me . lily : well , hopefully she 's too smart for that and realizes that she 's lucky to have someone who wo n't lie to her . devon : like cane did to you . lily : yeah . to have a partner who respects you and themselves enough to be honest with you . that 's everything . devon : yeah . well , i sure did n't have that with hilary . lily : i thought i had that with cane , and look how that turned out . devon : yeah . mariah : i am through listening to you tear down what i 've got with devon . hilary : come on . your relationship with devon is about as special as a bag of steamed carrots . you seem closer to your friend little miss alternative than you do to him . mariah : save your fantasies for somebody else who does n't know you better . i 'm going home . hilary : whoa , whoa , whoa . home ? not devon 's place ? ah , that 's right . [ laughing ] you still live at home with your mom , instead of with your supposedly serious boyfriend . come on , mariah . just be honest with yourself . is n't it possible that the two of you have just peaked ? nick : i 'm surprised you did n't stay to eat with dad and vick . nikki : look , i have no problem being civil to the man , but that does n't mean i have to socialize with him . anyway , he had somebody to join him . you didn't . nick : i hate making you choose . nikki : he is always going to be in our lives , and right now , for me , the best thing is to keep our interaction to a minimum . it 's the recipe for inner peace . nick : you sound like a zen master . nikki : namaste , the newman way . nick : [ laughs ] victor : it is n't lost on me that you were willing to share a table with me tonight , unlike your mother and your brother . i also wish that our last meeting would have been a bit friendlier . victoria : you know , dad , i -- victor : what ? victoria : i overreacted when you offered me the loan for brash & sassy . victor : that 's nice of you to say . victoria : but i do n't think it was right of you to kick nick off the ranch . victor : it was necessary , my darling . victoria : i do n't think so . but as long as nick is okay with it , then i suppose i am , too . victor : let 's not discuss this , okay ? i 'm just happy that you got the loan you needed for your business . i do know that neil lent you the money , and i 'm very happy about that rather than getting the money from that shyster who intended to do you harm . victoria : oh , my gosh , can we please not discuss benjamin hochman and my unfortunate appearance on `` the hilary hour ? `` victor : what , i ca n't say to you that i 'm happy that you got the money from neil ? what 's wrong with that ? victoria : nothing . victor : okay . victoria : thank you , dad . i appreciate it . and now i have to ask you for some advice . victor : personal or business ? victoria : business . victor : okay . ask . billy : this ongoing war with jack , it 's eating me up . and i know that it 's not gon na end anytime soon . on top of that , this whole thing with ben hochman , it -- i 'm sorry , okay ? i said things that i should n't have . phyllis : so am i . billy : phyllis , i wish i could tell you that i 'm not gon na work as much , that i 'm gon na spend more time with you . i just ca n't do that right now , okay ? vicki and i , we do n't have time to slow down right now . with everything we know , what jack is trying to pull off here , there 's just as much that we do n't know . phyllis : maybe you 're making this more complicated than it needs to be , you know ? you got the loan . you could build the company up , and jack , you know , he 's just probably being competitive . you know , that 's his defining trait . billy : jack is competitive with every company that does what he does . this is different with us , okay ? he wants to destroy us . this is an act of war . phyllis : i do n't know about that . billy : phyllis , he wants us decimated . phyllis : is this about the fenmore 's thing ? billy : what do you know about that ? phyllis : just rumblings . all right ? that you and victoria came to jabot and you were throwing around accusations that jabot wanted to take your products off of lauren 's shelves . how did you suspect that in the first place ? billy : i mean , it was n't that hard . we noticed that our reorders were down , so vicki smelled a rat . phyllis : you know , if jack went there , it does n't matter . lauren wants to keep selling brash & sassy . she 's got your back . she has the final word . billy : thank you . she 's not the only one . ashley : my mother did n't budge not one inch . she sees nothing wrong with sharing company secrets with graham . because she likes his input . because she trusts him . ravi : okay . you ca n't relate to that ? ashley : well , i 'm sure my mother does n't think i can , but obviously i can because i trust you , right ? but you deserve it because you 've earned it . graham , on the other hand ... ravi : yeah , you 've always been suspicious of him . ashley : you know , she said something that really struck me when she was talking about his inheritance . she said that if he was really that untrustworthy , then why would n't he try to speed up the inheritance process ? ravi : yeah , i 'm sure she was overstating to make a point . ashley : yeah , a silly notion . or is it ? ravi : wait , you think -- you seriously think graham wants dina to die ? ashley : you know what , it would serve his interests , would n't it ? i mean , he would get his money a hell of a lot faster . he would n't have to worry about any of her annoying children ever again . ravi : ashley , that 's , uh ... ashley : mercenary , i know , but it 's possible . ravi : [ sighs ] we do n't know much about the guy . ashley : no , we don't . there 's so many years unaccounted for in his background . ravi : if there was anything criminal , it would have come up in my search . ashley : look , i do n't care what my mother says . i do n't trust graham . i have n't since the first time he came into genoa city . i 've always had it in for him . ravi : why 'd you back off ? ashley : because i thought he made her happy . but you know what , underneath that smarmy , confident smile , there 's somebody that we know far too little about . i want to know where he 's been , who he knows , what he 's after . all of it . graham : sending you that e - mail referencing the report was sloppy . i should have been more discreet . dina : oh , no , it 's fine . all that ashley knows is that you provided a take on my work . graham : we 've had this conversation before . dina : i know . graham : jack and ashley have given you a position of responsibility , and yet , they burden you . dina : well , it 'll all blow over , do n't worry . graham : just call jack and let him know it 's not working out . then you and i can return to paris . dina : no , no , no . i have made a commitment , and i intend to keep it . work is -- is good for me . the challenge of it . and it 's no burden at all . graham : well , it 's up to you , of course . as for me , i have no choice . i must return to paris and deal with an issue regarding my apartment . dina : what ? graham : it happened this afternoon . it 's nothing that i ca n't deal with , but it needs to be in person . dina : [ scoffs ] can it wait ? graham : i have to start packing , so if there 's nothing else ... dina : [ sighs ] well , uh ... good luck . um ... graham ! i 'll see you when you return . graham : the trip will be as quick as i can make it . dina : oh , my god . oh ! what am i gon na do ? [ sighs ] victoria : so , the loan is in place , but we 've got to get out of this slump that we 're in . and we have a mountain to climb . and i 'm talking mount everest . victor : mm - hmm . well , then you 've come to the right person for advice . nikki : i 've been there if you want my take ... nick : i could use it . nikki : you 're trying to make your father less of a presence in your life , and that 's not working . victor : sweetheart , you need to change how people perceive your message -- both the buyers and the general public . victoria : but with all of the bad pr ... victor : to hell with it . change the message . victoria : the negative press is already out there . how ? victor : forget the negative press . become proactive . nikki : look , continuing to fight with victor on his terms is only gon na force you to deal with him more . nick : it 's unavoidable . nikki : if all you do is react to him ... nick : ... then i 'm still being controlled by him . nikki : all right , maybe i 'm biased here because it 's working for me , but just be proactive . live your life . victor : then you will define your own narrative . victoria : it 's counterintuitive , but you 're right . i have been trying to redefine a lot of things lately . victor : it 's about time . and whenever you 're ready to not follow your mother 's and your brother 's lead , you and i can maybe put all this tension behind us . billy : i still feel bad about some of the things that i said to you . phyllis : yeah . if i had n't gone to benjamin hochman and let all of my insecurities play out ... i 'm sorry for what i did , billy . billy : how do we fix this ? phyllis : i do n't know . i wish i could spend as much time with you as victoria does . billy : phyllis ... phyllis : i know that you 're not attracted to her , and i know that it is over . and that 's all that matters . billy : you know how much i love you . only you . phyllis : i 'm not used to seeing you look so intense . billy : i just want you to know . phyllis : done and done . billy : not quite yet .

[ sighs ] gabi : i can guess . sami : you knew i was n't exactly gon na give my blessing , right ? i mean , `` oh , yeah , sure gabi , take my granddaughter to new york . it 's only a two - hour plane flight . i could see her at the holidays . `` gabi : sami , you can -- you can see her whenever you want . sami : well , you know that 's not realistic , right ? i mean , her whole family -- we all have kids of our own . we have jobs here . we ca n't just get on a plane anytime , right ? look , when will was a kid , i made a ton of mistakes -- gabi : i wo n't . this is not a mistake . i 'm not making a mistake . sami : wrong choice of words . i ... i used will to defend so many of my actions . i used to justify my behavior by saying that i was doing what was best for my son . gabi : okay , i do n't know what this has to do with me , sami . sami : just let me finish . gabi : okay , please do . sami : i had these schemes , and i had plans , and i would be getting myself out of situations , and no matter what i thought or what i said , will ended up on the back burner . gabi : i would never let that happen to ari , never . sami : really ? you 've had modeling jobs before . we 're talking 6 : 00 a.m. call times . you get done at 10 : 00 p.m. , sometimes later . you 're working all day . and who 's with the baby ? not you . she 'd be with some babysitter , wondering where her mother is ? i 'm just saying that she needs you , not just a babysitter . and she needs her father . and if you take her to new york , she wo n't have either of you . gabi : sami ... if i take this offer , i 'll be set for life , which means that arianna will be set for life . so you can understand ... how i - i ca n't turn this offer down . i ca n't . sami : i understand how you feel . gabi : you see ? sami : which is why i would like to make you an offer of my own . you stay here , in salem , and i will give you an exclusive contract with countess wilhelmina . so it solves all your problems , right ? it 's the best of both worlds . you can stay here , and you can give ari everything . i know how much you love your daughter . do this for her . [ both laughing ] daniel : that -- that was kind of , uh ... reminiscent of something we 've done before . nicole : only , it -- it was n't , because we 're not -- we 're not doing that . daniel : that , no . we hardly knew each other back then . nicole : yeah , and now we do , and -- and we 're really good friends . daniel : yes , and we need to protect what we have with each other . we have to , yes . nicole : and , daniel , we -- we both really need a friend right now , more than ever . i mean , with your crazy , selfless - to - a - fault covering thing with jj and letting people , including jennifer , the woman that you love who seems to hate your guts right now because she thinks you 're a shallow , creepy guy who slept with theresa from drugsville -- daniel : yeah , and you , you have your -- your -- your eric situation . nicole : what ? no . daniel : yes , yes . nicole : no situation . that 's history . no , it is . arrivederci , eric . daniel : just like ... [ whistles ] like that ? just -- nicole : yeah , just like that . no , whatever feelings i had for father eric , or soon to be just eric , whatever , they are dead and buried . jennifer : i 'm sorry that i gave you the silent treatment all the way over here . this is just something i did n't want to talk about in public . eric : jennifer , what do you want to tell me ? is there something you know about kristen ? have you heard from her ? jennifer : no , and i really doubt that i will . you know , it 's just so crazy . i - i know that i was her only friend in salem , and i really did n't know how damaged she was , eric . eric : no one did , except my mother . jennifer : yeah , i - i know . and then when i saw that video in the church , i knew that kristen was guilty , and not just because the look in her eyes , but i know , eric , that you would never seduce anyone , including kristen . i mean -- eric : jennifer , listen , i really , really appreciate your support and your wanting to talk to me about this . i 'm just not sure why you thought it should be in private . jennifer : because there is more . t - there is something to all of this stuff with kristen that you deserve to know , something that i know in my heart i should have told you sooner ... and i need to tell you now . rafe : okay . jordan : okay . rafe : all right . jordan : right there . rafe : i 'm good . all right , all right . jordan : okay , okay . rafe : thanks . jordan : [ grunts ] rafe : cool . jordan : that was incredible -- your first steps ! rafe : yeah , how about that , huh ? [ both chuckle ] rafe : it was -- yeah . wish i could have done a few more . jordan : we talked about this , remember ? baby steps . rafe : oh , yeah . baby steps . listen ... i need you to be honest with me right now . does this mean i 'm gon na be able to walk again ? gabi : um , that 's a very generous offer . sami : then you 'll take it . gabi : no , i 'm sorry . i wo n't . sami : oh , i see . so it 's not about doing what 's best for your daughter . it 's that you want to move to new york -- that glitzy , glamorous lifestyle , being a model , having the career fizzle out by the time you 're 25 . gabi : thank you for your support , sami . sami : well , i 'm just being realistic . gabi : [ sighs ] sami : you know better than anyone what that life is like . gabi : what i know is that i have to give this a chance . sami : if that modeling agency is as hot for you as you say , they 're gon na be working you 24 - 7 , which is amazing , except for the part where you will be kissing your daughter good - bye first thing in the morning , giving her to a nanny , and then you will be home to kiss her while she is already asleep at night . gabi : oh , my god , what -- what is it that you want from me , sami ? sami : if you need to do this , i totally understand and respect that . you go follow your dreams . you go to new york city . but you leave ari here . gabi : what ? sami : what ? leave her here with her father , with the family that loves her , and we will take care of her . gabi : okay . sami : we 'll do a great job looking after her . gabi : no , no , you have to be out of your mind . i 'm not gon na leave ari here ! no , i 'm not gon na do that . and it 's not as bad as you 're describing . it will not be as bad as that , all right ? this agency wants ari too , and we 're gon na go out there ... sami : what ? gabi : and it 's gon na be -- sami : what ? ari is part of the deal ? kate : new york . i just ca n't believe that gabi would do something like this . will : well , she is , unless we can convince her not to . kate : so ... moving to new york ? [ scoffs ] you know , i think we 're all just going to have to make it completely clear to gabi that this is not acceptable . will : okay . kate : there 's still time to change her mind . will : what if we ca n't ? kate : does anyone else know about this ? will : mom and sonny 's dad . sonny : gabi did make up her mind , though . i mean , she 's -- well , she did say she 's not gon na make any more decisions without talking to will first . kate : [ scoffs ] that 's big of her . will : yeah . kate : here , sweetie . will : okay . kate : take her . will : yeah , ooh , hi . kate : listen to me . i do n't want you to worry about this , all right ? because i 'm going to do everything i have to do . no one , not even her mother , is going to take little arianna away from us . will : okay . kate : okay , sweetie . i love you . will : bye , you too . sonny : see you . will : we 'll see you out . kate : thanks . i know what you 're up to . you are not gon na get away with it . hope : i know it 's been a very hard time for you . nick : it 's been rough , yeah , but that 's why i think it 's gon na be better for me someplace else , you know , where -- where people do n't know what happened to me in prison and people do n't look at me with pity and -- and disgust . [ laughs ] you know ? hope : i ca n't tell you how it breaks my heart to hear you say that , that you feel that way , but i understand . [ cell phone ringing ] nick : shoot . [ sighs ] i got to go . hope : oh , already ? nick : i do n't want to miss my flight . hope : oh , nick . nick : [ sighs ] hope : honey , i ... i 'm so sorry that things did not work out for you here . nick : [ sighs ] do n't worry about me . hope : how can i not ? nick : okay ? do n't worry about me . i 'm serious . i think things are gon na be really good for me in new york . hope : they 're gon na be great . nick : all right . hope : i love you . nick : i love you too . bye . hope : bye , nick . nicole : thank you . and i will try not to be the guest that kissed the host out of the blue and for absolutely no reason at all . and besides , i wo n't have time , you know , to do those kind of shenanigans because i start my new job tomorrow . daniel : what new job ? nicole : mm - hmm . well , i , uh -- it 's kind of new / old , actually . i - i got my `` roving tv reporter `` gig back . [ chuckles ] daniel : what ? nicole : yeah . daniel : wh -- why did n't you tell me this ? nicole : i am telling you right now . daniel : well , yeah , now you 're telling me . nicole : look , it 's not like anyone 's really gon na know for a while , because my stuff does n't actually air for a few weeks , so .. daniel : that -- that 's -- that is awesome . nicole : yeah . daniel : nicole , that 's great . nicole : i know . i think so too , and i 'm ready to hit the ground running , so ... daniel : i 'll bet you are . um , can you do me just one favor ? nicole : yeah , name it . daniel : uh , please , whatever you do , no expose , say , on -- on me . nicole : really ? daniel : yeah . nicole : well , i - i was kind of hoping you 'd be my first subject . daniel : okay , i 'm gon na get a real - estate magazine so you can find another place to live . nicole : daniel , wait . daniel : no . nicole : [ laughs ] i 'm kidding . i 'm totally kidding . no ! yes , i 'm kidding . daniel : you 're kid -- no , yes ? nicole : i 'm kidding . daniel : you 're kidding ? nicole : no , it 's just -- i 'm kidding . [ laughs ] daniel : i swear ... [ laughs ] i will ... jennifer : i have a part in all of this . eric : you ? how ? jennifer : because kristen told me that when she and brady had broken up , she was unfaithful to him . eric : she told you ? jennifer : yeah . and for a moment , for a really terrifying moment , she thought that she was pregnant with this other man 's child . i me , she was n't . eric : [ sighs ] jennifer : but that 's why , throughout this whole ordeal , she was so emphatic about not saying anything to brady , because she was afraid that he would never forgive her for her mistake . so i - i comforted her , and -- and i just let it go , 'cause i just did n't feel like it was really my business at the time . but then when i saw that video in the church of the two of you together , i - i realized why she could n't tell brady , because she had set this whole terrible thing up , eric . eric : and because the other man was me . my god , if she was pregnant ... jennifer : yeah . that would have been your baby , yeah . so what i 'm saying is , if i had n't protected her , this whole thing would have resolved so much differently . that nightmare in the church -- it never would have happened . so i 'm just asking you , please , can you forgive me ? kate : [ sighs ] nick : hey , kate . uh , in your text , you said you had another check for me . kate : yeah ? well , i lied , you son of a bitch . nick : [ chuckles ] gabi : arianna is part of the deal because i am her mother , and i want her to be there , and the agency knows that . sami : and that 's it ? gabi : to be honest , yes , they want a photo shoot with me and the baby . sami : are you 're okay with that ? your 6-month - old daughter ... gabi : yes , i 'm fine . sami : being under those hot lights and having to wake her up so the photographer can get the shot that he 's looking for . gabi : sami , i 'm not selling her into slavery , come on . sami : we 've all seen those reality shows . i mean , a parent pushing their kid into a career so they can be exploited . gabi : i would never let that happen , please . sami : well , i hope that 's true but , gabi , this has happened very quickly . it 's very exciting . i totally understand that you want to do what 's best for your child . i 'm asking you to consider my offer , please . gabi : i will . but , uh , i ca n't promise you that i 'll change my mind . sonny : will , i hate what is happening . will : me too . but i am fine . so , if -- if you just want to , you know , go to work , you know , it 's -- sonny : no , i -- no , t 's covering for me . i already told you that . i just want to be here with you . will : thanks . you want to keep an eye on me ? sonny : i just do n't want you to do anything to make the situation worse . will : how could i possibly make the situation worse ? sonny : by doing something irrational that will cost you ari and land yourself in jail . i see you thinking about it . will : what are you -- how could i -- sonny : taking ari away without gabi 's consent is considered kidnapping , okay ? i 'm worried 'cause you 're upset , and i do n't want you to do anything crazy like that . you could lose ari forever . jordan : we 've had this conversation before . rafe : yeah , well , we 've never had the conversation three minutes after i took two steps . jordan : true . rafe : right ? jordan : and while i ca n't guarantee results , i can try and help you achieve them . but in my opinion , in my professional opinion and based on my experience so far , i do n't think that you 'll just walk again . i think you will be back to normal . rafe : yeah ! [ laughs ] i 've actually never been normal , so ... jordan : then it will be a miraculous recovery . rafe : yes , it will . jordan : [ laughs ] rafe : thank you . daniel : i got to -- i got to get to the hospital anyway , so ... nicole : okay . actually , i have some errands to run too . in fact , i get to stop by the rectory and get my mail . daniel : but are n't you worried about seeing eric ? nicole : no , he wo n't be there . daniel : what , you checked ? nicole : daniel , they suspended him . eric : of course i forgive you . listen , the truth is , even if you would have come forward after the things that you found out , it would n't have changed anything . jennifer : are you -- why ca n't the church reconsider ? they have to forget about what they saw and look at what was done to you . you are the victim here . eric : not unless they find kristen and she confesses . there 's no proof of that , so i do n't understand why anything would change . [ cell phone ringing ] eric : [ sighs ] excuse me . hope , hi hope : i have news about kristen . i need to see you right away . i ran into eric . he told me , and as long as kristen is m.i.a . and -- and not talking , i do n't think they 're ever gon na let eric back in as a practicing priest . what ? daniel : what , you just -- just happened to run into eric ? nicole : well , uh , yeah . daniel : and then when you saw him , all that stuff came up , right ? and then kissing me was just a distraction from that . [ chuckles ] nicole : wha -- what crazy - ass loop - de - loop did you get on to come up with that conclusion ? daniel , no . one has nothing to do with the other . daniel : okay . um , look , i - i know -- i know why you 're angry with eric , but you ca n't blame him for what kristen did . nicole : um , i do n't blame him . i blame kristen , and i 'm hoping she 's fertilizer in some potted plant , although that would n't be very fair to the plant , now , would it ? daniel : [ laughs ] nicole : [ sighs ] daniel : not so much . nicole : look , um ... i blame eric for thinking the worst of me ... when he should have known better . daniel : yeah . well , you know , we got our own stuff . nicole : yeah . daniel : i mean , i 'm not even sure where eric and i stand as friends , but i still , i - i ca n't -- i ca n't turn my back on him . i hope that 's not confusing for you . nicole : no , of course not . i 'm glad someone wants to help him . it just ca n't ever be me again . eric : i 'll be there soon , hope . thanks . jennifer : what , does she have a lead on kristen ? eric : she would n't say . she just wants to see me in person . jennifer : okay , that -- that sounds hopeful . let me know , all right ? and just thank you again for understanding my silence about kristen . she was trying to destroy your family and using you to do it . eric : you had no way of knowing that . jennifer : i suppose so , but i have been wrong about a lot of people lately . eric : you talking about daniel now ? jennifer : on that note ... i need to get going . eric : right , me too . jennifer : i 'll grab your coat . nick : uh ... [ laughs ] i have no idea why you 're acting so crazy , but i do n't really have time for it . kate : well , then you need to make time . you going somewhere , nick ? nick : yeah , actually . kate : would n't be new york , would it ? nick : yeah , it would be . i - i got a job offer there , and -- and i 'm gon na jump at it , if that 's okay with you . kate : you lying little snake . i know why you 're going to new york , and it 's to set up house with gabi and the baby . nick : i got a job . i got a job , kate , a really good one , and if gabi and arianna end up going there too , then i guess that 's how fate will have it . kate : really ? do you really think you 're going to get away with that ? nick : look , you know what ? you were -- you were so nice to me when i made your company a boatload of money , and then you were so happy for me when you heard i was leaving , and it 's just -- it 's so fake . it 's so disingenuous , and it 's completely transparent , just like everybody else in this town . but you know what ? it does n't matter , because i do n't even belong here . kate : well , you do n't belong with gabi and will 's baby either . rafe : i mean , yeah , it sounds like an incredible offer . but new york ? really ? w - what , you and arianna -- you 're just gon na , what , up and move there ? gabi : well , i would never get a deal like that here . rafe : i know . i get it . it 's just ... i would miss you and the baby a lot , you know ? gabi : rafe , you can come see us whenever you want , and we 'll be back here once a month . rafe : right . [ scoffs ] well , what about will , huh ? he ca n't be too happy about this . gabi ? gabi : [ sighs ] rafe : how did will take the news ? will : give me a little credit , sonny . i 'm not gon na kidnap my daughter . the first thing i need to do is get a job somewhere , and i 'm hoping that either grandma kate or ej can help me out with that . sonny : ej , yeah ... 'cause that worked out in the past . will : i am a little different now , and so is he . sonny : wait , did you -- did you say that you need to get a job `` somewhere `` ? will : mm - hmm . if gabi 's going to new york and we ca n't stop her , then i need to go to new york and get a job too . to gabi as a mother , then i will have to find another way to deal with her ... even if it means dealing with the devil . kate : all i care about is my great - granddaughter being near her father . so , if you think you 're gon na keep will away from his baby , you can think again , you little creep ! nick : look , look , look , kate , i was wrong about will and sonny , okay ? i was working through my own issues , they took the hit for it , and that was a mistake . but being with gabi has nothing to do with will being taken away from his daughter . kate : [ sighs ] nick : gabi 's already offered to come back once a month , and will can come to new york whenever he wants to , and i support that . kate : oh , wow . are n't you a sweetheart ? nick : yeah , i am a sweetheart , in my professional life and in my personal life . in fact ... [ sighs ] here ... the project we talked about . this one 's on the house . take it . [ sighs ] good - bye , kate . kate : [ sighs ] oh , sami , do i need to talk to you .

[ laughs ] you know ? hope : i ca n't tell you how it breaks my heart to hear you say that , that you feel that way , but i understand . [ cell phone ringing ] nick : shoot .

[ laughs ] daniel : i swear ... [ laughs ] i will ... jennifer : i have a part in all of this . eric : you ? how ? jennifer : because kristen told me that when she and brady had broken up , she was unfaithful to him . eric : she told you ? jennifer : yeah . and for a moment , for a really terrifying moment , she thought that she was pregnant with this other man 's child . i me , she was n't . eric : [ sighs ] jennifer : but that 's why , throughout this whole ordeal , she was so emphatic about not saying anything to brady , because she was afraid that he would never forgive her for her mistake . so i - i comforted her , and -- and i just let it go , 'cause i just did n't feel like it was really my business at the time . but then when i saw that video in the church of the two of you together , i - i realized why she could n't tell brady , because she had set this whole terrible thing up , eric . eric : and because the other man was me . my god , if she was pregnant ... jennifer : yeah . that would have been your baby , yeah . so what i 'm saying is , if i had n't protected her , this whole thing would have resolved so much differently . that nightmare in the church -- it never would have happened . so i 'm just asking you , please , can you forgive me ? kate : [ sighs ] nick : hey , kate . uh , in your text , you said you had another check for me . kate : yeah ? well , i lied , you son of a bitch . nick : [ chuckles ] gabi : arianna is part of the deal because i am her mother , and i want her to be there , and the agency knows that . sami : and that 's it ? gabi : to be honest , yes , they want a photo shoot with me and the baby . sami : are you 're okay with that ? your 6-month - old daughter ... gabi : yes , i 'm fine . sami : being under those hot lights and having to wake her up so the photographer can get the shot that he 's looking for . gabi : sami , i 'm not selling her into slavery , come on . sami : we 've all seen those reality shows . i mean , a parent pushing their kid into a career so they can be exploited . gabi : i would never let that happen , please . sami : well , i hope that 's true but , gabi , this has happened very quickly . it 's very exciting . i totally understand that you want to do what 's best for your child . i 'm asking you to consider my offer , please . gabi : i will . but , uh , i ca n't promise you that i 'll change my mind . sonny : will , i hate what is happening . will : me too . but i am fine . so , if -- if you just want to , you know , go to work , you know , it 's -- sonny : no , i -- no , t 's covering for me . i already told you that . i just want to be here with you . will : thanks . you want to keep an eye on me ? sonny : i just do n't want you to do anything to make the situation worse . will : how could i possibly make the situation worse ? sonny : by doing something irrational that will cost you ari and land yourself in jail . i see you thinking about it . will : what are you -- how could i -- sonny : taking ari away without gabi 's consent is considered kidnapping , okay ? i 'm worried 'cause you 're upset , and i do n't want you to do anything crazy like that . you could lose ari forever . jordan : we 've had this conversation before . rafe : yeah , well , we 've never had the conversation three minutes after i took two steps . jordan : true . rafe : right ? jordan : and while i ca n't guarantee results , i can try and help you achieve them . but in my opinion , in my professional opinion and based on my experience so far , i do n't think that you 'll just walk again . i think you will be back to normal . rafe : yeah ! [ laughs ] i 've actually never been normal , so ... jordan : then it will be a miraculous recovery . rafe : yes , it will . jordan : [ laughs ] rafe : thank you . daniel : i got to -- i got to get to the hospital anyway , so ... nicole : okay . actually , i have some errands to run too . in fact , i get to stop by the rectory and get my mail . daniel : but are n't you worried about seeing eric ? nicole : no , he wo n't be there . daniel : what , you checked ? nicole : daniel , they suspended him . eric : of course i forgive you . listen , the truth is , even if you would have come forward after the things that you found out , it would n't have changed anything . jennifer : are you -- why ca n't the church reconsider ? they have to forget about what they saw and look at what was done to you . you are the victim here . eric : not unless they find kristen and she confesses . there 's no proof of that , so i do n't understand why anything would change . [ cell phone ringing ] eric : [ sighs ] excuse me . hope , hi hope : i have news about kristen . i need to see you right away . i ran into eric . he told me , and as long as kristen is m.i.a . and -- and not talking , i do n't think they 're ever gon na let eric back in as a practicing priest . what ? daniel : what , you just -- just happened to run into eric ? nicole : well , uh , yeah . daniel : and then when you saw him , all that stuff came up , right ? and then kissing me was just a distraction from that . [ chuckles ] nicole : wha -- what crazy - ass loop - de - loop did you get on to come up with that conclusion ? daniel , no . one has nothing to do with the other . daniel : okay . um , look , i - i know -- i know why you 're angry with eric , but you ca n't blame him for what kristen did . nicole : um , i do n't blame him . i blame kristen , and i 'm hoping she 's fertilizer in some potted plant , although that would n't be very fair to the plant , now , would it ? daniel : [ laughs ] nicole : [ sighs ] daniel : not so much . nicole : look , um ... i blame eric for thinking the worst of me ... when he should have known better . daniel : yeah . well , you know , we got our own stuff . nicole : yeah . daniel : i mean , i 'm not even sure where eric and i stand as friends , but i still , i - i ca n't -- i ca n't turn my back on him . i hope that 's not confusing for you . nicole : no , of course not . i 'm glad someone wants to help him . it just ca n't ever be me again . eric : i 'll be there soon , hope . thanks . jennifer : what , does she have a lead on kristen ? eric : she would n't say . she just wants to see me in person . jennifer : okay , that -- that sounds hopeful . let me know , all right ? and just thank you again for understanding my silence about kristen . she was trying to destroy your family and using you to do it . eric : you had no way of knowing that . jennifer : i suppose so , but i have been wrong about a lot of people lately . eric : you talking about daniel now ? jennifer : on that note ... i need to get going . eric : right , me too . jennifer : i 'll grab your coat . nick : uh ... [ laughs ] i have no idea why you 're acting so crazy , but i do n't really have time for it . kate : well , then you need to make time . you going somewhere , nick ? nick : yeah , actually . kate : would n't be new york , would it ? nick : yeah , it would be . i - i got a job offer there , and -- and i 'm gon na jump at it , if that 's okay with you . kate : you lying little snake . i know why you 're going to new york , and it 's to set up house with gabi and the baby . nick : i got a job . i got a job , kate , a really good one , and if gabi and arianna end up going there too , then i guess that 's how fate will have it . kate : really ? do you really think you 're going to get away with that ? nick : look , you know what ? you were -- you were so nice to me when i made your company a boatload of money , and then you were so happy for me when you heard i was leaving , and it 's just -- it 's so fake . it 's so disingenuous , and it 's completely transparent , just like everybody else in this town . but you know what ? it does n't matter , because i do n't even belong here . kate : well , you do n't belong with gabi and will 's baby either . rafe : i mean , yeah , it sounds like an incredible offer . but new york ? really ? w - what , you and arianna -- you 're just gon na , what , up and move there ? gabi : well , i would never get a deal like that here . rafe : i know . i get it . it 's just ... i would miss you and the baby a lot , you know ? gabi : rafe , you can come see us whenever you want , and we 'll be back here once a month . rafe : right . [ scoffs ] well , what about will , huh ? he ca n't be too happy about this . gabi ? gabi : [ sighs ] rafe : how did will take the news ? will : give me a little credit , sonny . i 'm not gon na kidnap my daughter . the first thing i need to do is get a job somewhere , and i 'm hoping that either grandma kate or ej can help me out with that . sonny : ej , yeah ...

[ sighs ] she would have died ! lily : and , what ? you saved her ? do you even realize how you sound ? we all spent months looking for hilary , wondering if she was alive , and you said nothing . when devon was a suspect in her murder , you said nothing . you let your own son be treated like a criminal . neil : it got so complicated . lily : how could you do this to your own family ? what kind of father are you ? paul : hey . thanks for coming . dylan : yeah . i know this is killing stitch . at least i can support him whether he wants me here or not . paul : right . look , stitch knows you were doing your job . that 's all . he 's emotional right now . that 's understandable . he 'll come around . dylan : why did n't you warn me that this father thing is so complicated ? paul : yeah . stitch : where 's max ? paul : he 's in with dr. rosen . i 'll -- i 'll give you guys some time . stitch : i owe you an apology . dylan : no , no , you do n't , man . stitch : no , i went off on you and abby , ready to blame anyone but myself . and this is on me . i 'm his father . i should have got max into therapy as soon as he came to town . i just thought with enough love , enough time ... dylan : there 's still time . paul : you know , stitch , max is getting the professional help he needs now . but he 's still gon na require all the love and patience and understanding that only a father can give . right ? stitch : thank you for being here . i 'm sorry for going off on you . i just hope i get a second chance with that kid . mariah : i was n't throwing it in your face . i was just thinking about how wrong i was . i mean , i gave you such a hard time about lying to dylan about the miscarriage , but ... look how it turned out . i have an amazing godson , and you and dylan have never been happier . when i think about nick and sage ... sharon : what are you doing back here ? did you take my advice ? did you tell kevin how you felt even though you do n't know what that is , exactly ? mariah : i told him exactly how i felt . can i move back into my old room for a while ? phyllis : i 'm not gon na give you a share of pass key , if that 's what you 're asking . billy : oh , i 'm so over pass key . jack : what is it you want , billy ? billy : why do n't you ask your wife ? jack : phyllis ? billy : go ahead , phyllis . tell him . phyllis : i was so stupid to think i could count on you for help . billy : oh , you can always count on me -- to do what 's best for me . is n't that right , jack ? jack : are we done here ? billy : you know what 's wonderful about the great jack abbott , is that he 'll never admit when he needs help . maybe one of these days he will . in the meantime , i 'm gon na go powwow with fiona about brash & sassy and maybe i can convince her to carry jabot products again , because that 's the kind of guy i am . jack : do n't bother . i 've already spoken with fiona . she will continue to carry jabot products -- exclusively . billy : well , ding , ding , ding . round one to jabot . but i think i 'll still grab her and throw her on the back of the motorcycle because ...

nikki : no . not yet . i 'm just a little worried about you . victor : what do you mean you 're worried about me ? why are you worried about me ? nikki : i 'm afraid you 're about to do something you might regret . neil : i heard the door . i knew that was you . hilary : yeah , i thought i would work from home today , but it sounded like you were going out . neil : very nice . uh , i am , actually . you remember the experimental program that i told you about ? hilary : yeah . neil : well , the doctor wants to see me . hilary : oh , i thought that appointment was n't until next week . neil : the assistant called and said the doc needs to see me right away . hilary : do you think something 's wrong ? neil : no , i do n't . on the contrary , i - i think this is gon na be good news . hilary : really ? neil : if the doctor is this anxious to see me , i 'm betting that he wants to start treatment right away , maybe even -- maybe even today . hilary : neil , that would be wonderful . neil : oh , hilary . i am praying that i 'm gon na get my sight back . what that would mean for us ... hilary : it would change everything . cane : all right , listen , if you need me , i 'll be on my cell . devon : you sound like a man who 's back in your element . cane : yeah . i suppose i should thank you for that , huh ? devon : i did give you the money to buy chancellor back . and you 're welcome . cane : yes , you did . and for that , i got colin off your back . but what about your dad ? what happens to him now ? devon : he gets to hear the truth about hilary and me from us when the time is right , so it 's all good . cane : see , there , the thing is it 's not all good , 'cause i have to lie to lily , and you know i do n't like doing that . hey . jill : hey . cane : how are you ? jill : so ... are you ready to make this official ? we 're off to finalize the purchase of chancellor industries , which would not be happening if it were n't for you . colin : so you 've said . let 's , uh , hear it for , um , devon here . lily : uh - oh . should i get some champagne ? jill : why do n't you just get a bottle and i can break it over victor 's head ? lily : and waste some good bubbly ? no , thank you . i 'd much rather toast you and cane . jill : cane , you 're not looking quite as enthusiastic as i would have thought with all this happening . is something the matter ? lily : so , what 's going on with you ? cane : i do n't know . i 'm probably just having a little trouble , you know , thinking all this is real . but , hey , once i sign the contracts , i 'll be just as happy as jill . jill : you sure that 's all that 's going on here ? cane : yeah . that 's it . jill : 'cause i thought that maybe you were having second thoughts about running the company with me . cane : no , no , no , no . i think as long as you and i can share the same creative vision , we 'll take chancellor back to the powerhouse it once was . jill : devon , you 're gon na stick around for the celebration , right ? devon : i do n't know if i can . colin : oh , but you must . i mean , you 've done so much to make this possible . jill : [ laughs ] devon : i 'll try and be here . i will . jill : oh , thank you so much for this . devon : of course . colin : perhaps we could erect a statue , complete with pigeons , of course . jill : darling , do n't be like that . so what if devon gave us the money to buy back chancellor ? we got it away from victor . that 's what matters . colin : yeah , i guess . jill : [ sighs ] it matters to me that you tried so hard . thank you . now , i 'm gon na go get fixed up , 'cause i want to look my best when i drive that stake through victor 's heart . colin : yeah . lily : i am gon na put that champagne on ice , and i can not wait to celebrate with you ... here and at home . colin : you 're welcome . cane : for what ? colin : for not telling lily about devon and hilary 's dirty little secret . cane : i should give you a medal for not wrecking my marriage . is that what you want ? colin : no . but maybe a favor . nikki : selling chancellor industries -- are you sure -- are you absolutely sure you want to do that ? victor : darling , it 's a done deal . jill and cane are on their way over to sign the papers . nikki : but it 's not too late to change your mind . victor : why would i do that ? nikki : katherine entrusted that company to you . it was very important to her . victor : sweetheart , it was important to me that she did that , okay ? you know how i feel about katherine . she was a very close friend to you and to me . i think about her every day . besides that , you mean everything to me . furthermore , you must realize that the debt incurred by chancellor industries because of that stupid deal that cane was involved in -- that bonaventure deal -- we 're gon na take care of that now . besides that , i 'm not gon na sell the property that dylan 's coffeehouse is on . nikki : i do n't want you to do this for me . okay ? i do n't deserve it . victor : but , sweetheart , why do you say that ? david : the judge called a short recess . you 're gon na need to pull yourself together and prove that -- sharon : prove what ? that i 'm not crazy ? david : no . that you are a capable parent , sharon , which you are , okay ? now , let 's go back inside , all right ? sharon : i ca n't , david . david : sharon , if you do n't do this -- dylan : can you just -- just give us a minute , okay ? david : yeah . yeah . just ... do n't take too long . dylan : hey , i know what happened in there was rough . sharon : i did n't think that nick would go this far . noah and mariah -- i thought they were on my side , but avery convinced them to ... turn against me . dylan : no , your kids love you . i 'm sure they did n't mean to hurt you . sharon : they were my last chance to convince the judge that faith belongs with me . [ voice breaking ] but they took nick 's side . and now i 'm gon na lose my daughter and nick 's gon na have all of them and i 'm gon na be alone . noah : how you doing ? mariah : life was easier when i did n't give a damn about hurting people . noah : that 's the price you pay for caring . mariah : it 's too high , if you ask me . noah : so , why did you do it ? mariah : i did n't want the judge 's decision about faith 's custody to be based on a lie . noah : that 's why i had to tell the truth about my mom 's bipolar disorder . nick : maybe i should withdraw my petition . avery : is that really what you want ? nick : did you see sharon ? she is faith 's mother . my goal was not to destroy her . avery : no , it was to protect faith , and to do that , we have to prove that sharon is unstable and unable to provide a safe environment for faith , and she just gave a perfect demonstration of that . neil : i got a glimpse of my future last night . hilary : uh , i do n't understand . neil : i had a - a dream . i saw the most beautiful blue sky and white clouds . they were alive and vivid . hilary , i really could see . and , see , then -- then the doctor called me , and -- and wants me to come in . i think this is -- i think it 's an omen , a good one . hilary : you 're reading a lot into a dream , do n't you think ? neil : no , i 'm really not . i 'm not . my heart is telling me that this is gon na happen .

cane : yeah . that 's it . jill : 'cause i thought that maybe you were having second thoughts about running the company with me . cane : no , no , no , no . i think as long as you and i can share the same creative vision , we 'll take chancellor back to the powerhouse it once was . jill : devon , you 're gon na stick around for the celebration , right ?

victor : darling , it 's a done deal . jill and cane are on their way over to sign the papers . nikki : but it 's not too late to change your mind . victor : why would i do that ? nikki : katherine entrusted that company to you . it was very important to her . victor : sweetheart , it was important to me that she did that , okay ? you know how i feel about katherine . she was a very close friend to you and to me . i think about her every day . besides that , you mean everything to me . furthermore , you must realize that the debt incurred by chancellor industries because of that stupid deal that cane was involved in -- that bonaventure deal -- we 're gon na take care of that now . besides that , i 'm not gon na sell the property that dylan 's coffeehouse is on . nikki : i do n't want you to do this for me . okay ? i do n't deserve it . victor : but , sweetheart , why do you say that ? david : the judge called a short recess . you 're gon na need to pull yourself together and prove that -- sharon : prove what ? that i 'm not crazy ? david : no . that you are a capable parent , sharon , which you are , okay ? now , let 's go back inside , all right ? sharon : i ca n't , david . david : sharon , if you do n't do this -- dylan : can you just -- just give us a minute , okay ? david : yeah . yeah . just ... do n't take too long . dylan : hey , i know what happened in there was rough . sharon : i did n't think that nick would go this far . noah and mariah -- i thought they were on my side , but avery convinced them to ... turn against me . dylan : no , your kids love you . i 'm sure they did n't mean to hurt you . sharon : they were my last chance to convince the judge that faith belongs with me . [ voice breaking ] but they took nick 's side . and now i 'm gon na lose my daughter and nick 's gon na have all of them and i 'm gon na be alone . noah : how you doing ? mariah : life was easier when i did n't give a damn about hurting people . noah : that 's the price you pay for caring . mariah : it 's too high , if you ask me . noah : so , why did you do it ? mariah : i did n't want the judge 's decision about faith 's custody to be based on a lie . noah : that 's why i had to tell the truth about my mom 's bipolar disorder . nick : maybe i should withdraw my petition . avery : is that really what you want ? nick : did you see sharon ? she is faith 's mother . my goal was not to destroy her . avery : no , it was to protect faith , and to do that , we have to prove that sharon is unstable and unable to provide a safe environment for faith , and she just gave a perfect demonstration of that . neil : i got a glimpse of my future last night . hilary : uh , i do n't understand . neil : i had a - a dream . i saw the most beautiful blue sky and white clouds . they were alive and vivid . hilary , i really could see . and , see , then -- then the doctor called me , and -- and wants me to come in . i think this is -- i think it 's an omen , a good one . hilary : you 're reading a lot into a dream , do n't you think ? neil : no , i 'm really not . i 'm not . my heart is telling me that this is gon na happen .

[ tense music ] kate : well , i guess you kinda jumped the gun with that check mate business , did n't you ? it 's more like `` mission accomplished . `` victor : i would n't be too smug if i were you , kate . brady 's not gon na rest until he finds out who was responsible for those two months of hell that he went through . kate : hmm . victor : and i ca n't live with the idea of him harboring even the slightest thought that i had anything to do with it . deimos : which is to say that you can blackmail us but not him . victor : suppose brady were to find out ? if he found out that you did it . deimos : when he finds out . victor : what do you think he 's gon na say ? he 's gon na say , `` oh , kate got a nanny for tate . no harm , no foul . `` deimos : he already said that he would choke the life out of me if i had anything to do with it . victor : brady has his mother 's sweet disposition ... but he 's a kiriakis . and he 's going to exact revenge . you know damn well he will . brady : i 'm not just thinking about eric here . i 'm worried about you . i do n't think hating him is good for you . nicole : but i do n't think not being able to forgive is the same as hatred . brady : all right , i chose the wrong word , nicole , but if you -- if you could forgive him , i think you could move on . nicole : could you forgive whoever kidnapped tate ? brady : touché . nicole : brady , you are my friend ... for life . and i know you 're just trying to help . and you wan na do something good . but i do n't know if you can get what 's inside of me , and i do n't want you to get it . i do n't want you to know what it 's like to know that the person you love more than life itself is never coming back . so please do n't ask me to forgive . and even if i wanted to ... i could not do it . [ dramatic music ] theresa : yeah , okay , so , uh , we 'll be right home , and just -- i have keys , so do n't open the door to anyone , all right ? okay , thanks , emma . sorry . i 'm still a little overprotective . nicole : it 's okay . i would be too . theresa : nicole , thank you . this is so nice of you . i 'm so glad we 're friends . nicole : me too . theresa : and you ... eve : hel - oo ! theresa : thank you for letting me be a party girl ... again . eve : you 're welcome ! theresa : even if it was only for , you know , a few hours . eve : well , expect me over first thing in the morning to get you ready , girl . brady : ready for what ? you have plans ? what 's going on ? i have no idea what you 're talking about -- [ overlapping chatter , laughter ] theresa : we 're gettin ' married -- come on . eve : bye . good night . nicole : have a good night .

[ soft music ] kayla : i 'm so glad your two faces are what i saw when i first woke up . steve : go back to sleep , babe . when you wake up , i 'll still be here . joey : me too . kate : i think it 's in both of your best interests to make sure that brady does n't find out about my involvement . 'cause you know those greek courts ... they 're pretty rabid about plundering . i do n't think you wan na spend another 30 years in a greek jail , do you ? and you will just curl up and die without your precious maggie . victor : brady and theresa are not gon na rest until they know who did it . kate : i 'm sure that 's true . someone has to pay . but why does it have to be one of us ? i propose that we find ... a fall guy . and fast .

[ scene_break ] duke : what is it that 's so important ? there 's a problem with robin scorpio - drake . [ scene_break ] mcbain : i 've already spoken with anna . i mean , i told her that jerry jacks arranged to have scully 's charges in atlantic city dropped . sam : does she realize that jerry 's the second shooter ? mcbain : listen , it 's a good theory , but that 's all it is . we need proof . sam : you want proof ? i 've got proof . right here -- my son . when everyone thought he was dead , i knew he was alive . just like i knew daniel was jason 's . mcbain : i know jason loved daniel as his own . sam : jason is daniel 's biological father . mcbain : did i miss something ? what about the paternity test ? sam : no , no . you did miss something . heather tampered with it . steve was able to find the original documents in his mother 's belongings , and , yeah . [ chuckles ] daniel is jason 's . mcbain : wow . did jason know ? sam : he will know ... as soon as i find him . mcbain : it 's good to have hope , sam , but you do n't want to get too far ahead of yourself . sam : i 've learned to trust my instincts . jason is alive and jerry jacks has him . and i definitely know where to find proof .

[ scene_break ] maxie : wow . i forgot how steep those stairs are from the street ! so , who 's it gon na be ? who 's my new roommate ? trey : you know , i think you should stay , starr . starr : no , trey . you have nowhere else to go . maxie : wait . first you 're fighting over who gets to stay , and now you 're fighting over who gets to move out ? okay , fine . i 'll pick . well , i 'd love to live with a girl because then we could share clothes . or not . living with a guy would be great for security reasons . so , would you say you 're proficient in , like , martial arts and self - defense ? trey : this is ridiculous . maxie : you 're right . i ca n't pick who 's gon na be my new roommate any more than you guys can . i know ! we 'll handle this the old - fashion way . okay . heads or tails ? [ scene_break ] elizabeth : it 's been forever since i thought about those routines . we had so much fun . sabrina : why did they stop having the nurses ' ball ? elizabeth : it was too expensive . there was n't enough money in the budget , which has only grown smaller since the last ball , and that was ... i think in 2001 ? i mean , it 's sad but there will never be another nurses ' ball .

[ scene_break ] spinelli : the only reason maxie took me on as a roommate was to make matt jealous . ellie : huh . well , i 'm not acquainted with maxie 's wrench - murderer husband . she must have loved him at some point , right ? i mean , why else would she have married him ? oh , and now she 's getting a divorce . spinelli : i would n't worry about maxie . ellie : you 're right . a girl that terrific is bound to find someone soon .

[ scene_break ] lulu : do i think anna is good for my father ? yes , but that 's his business , and this club is mine , so if you have nothing to hide , i have nothing to find . dante : [ sighs ] lulu : hi . dante : hey . duke . duke : detective . i understand you 're working with anna , investigating the shooting on the pier . do you have any leads on the second shooter ? dante : well , i 'm not at liberty to say . duke : oh , forgive me . it 's just , you know , when you 're a bartender , you overhear things and people are a little concerned because the pier is close by here . dante : well , tell them we 're on it . huh . lulu : hey . dante : what ? lulu : where 's your voting sticker ? dante : it 's in the car . lulu : well , you work in the public sector . you have to set a good example . dante : oh , well , i do n't think any desperate criminal that i bring in is gon na care that i 'm wearing a sticker that says i just voted . by the way , where 's yours ? lulu : i 'm voting this afternoon . dante : well , in the meantime , i have a surprise for you . check your e - mail . lulu : okay . uh ... maxie , maxie , spam , milo . dante : mm - hmm . lulu : how do i have an e - mail from perfect match partners , the adoption agency ? dante : i called them this morning , and they sent the e - mail , and the application is in the attachment . the sooner we fill it out -- lulu : the sooner we have a baby ! dante : [ chuckles ] [ scene_break ] sam : what did you find out ? mcbain : the guy behind joe scully 's release in atlantic city was jerry jacks . sam : so they were working together ? mcbain : yeah . jerry needed help getting the pathogen in the water supply . he needed mercenaries for support on the marina . in short , he needed a facilitator . sam : joe scully . mcbain : joe scully . joe provided his personnel for him . sam : was scully involved in poisoning the water ? mcbain : dante says it squares with a statement that tracy quartermaine gave to the pcpd . before he died , scully claims he -- he gave her a dose of the antitoxin . sam : which is why tracy never got sick . mcbain : yeah . joe could have only gotten the antitoxin from jerry jacks . sam : [ sighs ] okay , so , well , if they were working together , then jerry could have been the second shooter -- the one who hit jason . mcbain : i do n't think so . sam : why ? mcbain : well , for one thing , jerry jacks is supposedly dead . [ scene_break ] ellie : hey , thanks for standing in line with me at the polls . spinelli : oh , voting is a sacred trust , and i was honored to have your company while we waited to perform our civic duty . ellie : [ laughs ] spinelli : and everything is more enjoyable with you . ellie : mm . spinelli : casting ballots , halloween parties . ellie : oh , i know ! the party at the haunted star was so great , was n't it ? hey , do you think maxie had fun ? spinelli : [ stammers ] she is a social being . i 'm sure she had a great time . ellie : yeah , just ca n't be easy going out into the world when she 's in the throes of a divorce , you know ? it was so sweet of you to dance with her . [ scene_break ] [ flashback ] maxie : so , you know the other night when i told you that matt and i were getting a divorce ? you , um -- you barely reacted . spinelli : best to keep my opinion to myself . but i never thought matt was the right man for you . maxie : then who is the right man , spinelli ? [ scene_break ] ellie : honestly , it seemed like maxie had something on her mind . [ scene_break ] maxie : this place looks good , overall . you could have taken slightly better care of things . respect for the landlord 's belongings is a sign of any good tenant , but there 's nothing here that ca n't be rearranged , slipcovered , or repainted . trey : and that 's a good thing ? maxie : oh , it is for me since i 'm moving back in . trey : what ? no , no . you ca n't . maxie : sure i can . it 's my apartment . starr : but you gave it to us . maxie : the correct term is `` sublet . `` my name is still on the lease . trey : yeah , but you said we could stay here indefinitely . maxie : no . i would never use that word . but if i did , it 's definite now . i need my place back . trey : so , wait . so , you 're kicking us both out ? maxie : no . i would never do that . what kind of person do you think i am ? one of you can stay . [ scene_break ] elizabeth : it 's hard starting a new job . you 're constantly playing catch - up , especially in a place like this with so much history . sabrina : yeah , there sure is . elizabeth : sabrina , patrick was out of line the other day . he 's never understood robin 's relationship with jason , and that 's why he completely overreacted . sabrina : oh , no , no , no . that 's not it at all . no . patrick apologized , and we 're fine . actually , he 's the one i babysat for last night . elizabeth : oh . sabrina : [ chuckles ] yeah , i - i enjoy sitting for patrick . emma is , like , such a great kid . last night she showed me a photo album full of pictures from the nurses ' ball . elizabeth : the nurses ' ball ? i have n't thought about that for years . sabrina : yeah , it was a benefit for aids research ? elizabeth : yes . do you know that robin was h.i.v . positive ? sabrina : yeah , i 'd heard . elizabeth : so , the ball was to raise awareness and money for programs in port charles , and robin spoke at it a few times . sabrina : oh . that must be why emma thought it was a party for her mother . elizabeth : well , robin was determined to do whatever she could to make sure no one ever had to die of aids . i know we 've made a lot of progress , but it 's sad that she died before her dream came true . [ scene_break ] anna : robin would have loved to have seen duke again , you know ? he was a great dad to her . she adored him . patrick : what about you ? anna : i do n't know . it 's , uh ... it 's kind of hard to process , you know ? this is the husband that i thought was dead . i mean , not that i think of him as my husband , obviously , because i moved on from him years ago , but ... speaking of which , how was your date ? patrick : it was fun . anna : yeah ? patrick : yeah . we had a good time . anna : i meant what i said . robin would want you to be happy . patrick : i do n't even know . i do n't really know what happy is . i do n't even know , like , if it 's -- i do n't even know half . can i be happy if i have n't moved on for her ? or i do n't know what to do . i mean , i 'm still wearing my wedding ring . i do n't know what 's next . anna : i did n't think that it was possible to even get married again after duke . patrick : i do not even want to talk about getting remarried , okay ? anna : i know . i know . but i 'm just saying that ... it has to start somewhere . patrick : she asked me to come home with her last night . and i just -- i could n't do it . i -- and i realize that 's a lot of information for you . i 'm sorry about that . anna : i want you to know that i support you . if you want to have a relationship or , you know ... patrick : it 's hard to even consider myself single right now , let alone anything else . anna : i know . [ footsteps approaching ] anna : ooh . little ears . hello ! patrick : hey , you want to open up another present ? emma : i want to see mommy first . [ scene_break ] sam : well , did they ever find jerry 's body ? mcbain : no , but if he got caught in that explosion , there may not be anything to find . sam : you know , a friend of mine who 's a cop , he once said that if you do n't have a body , there 's no proof that someone is dead . jax and sonny survived that explosion . why would n't jerry ? mcbain : stranger things have happened . i think they 're thinking about , you know , his proximity to the flash point . if he was the closest , he would have got the worst of the blast . sam : or jerry might want us to think that he 's dead , because dead men do n't go to prison . mcbain : let 's say jerry 's alive . how does that make him the second shooter ? sam : well , if jason somehow figured out that jerry was still alive ... or maybe jason came down here that night when he went to see bernie , and jerry was there and jerry shot him because he did n't want him to blow his cover . mcbain : even so , that means jason still had to go in the water . sam : maybe jerry pulled him out again . and he 's waiting to go public . mcbain : sam , where are you going ? sam : i 'm going to pcpd . mcbain : why do n't you slow down for a second ? sam : no . this is the first lead we 've had . mcbain : listen , i ca n't let you do that . [ scene_break ] spinelli : it 's often difficult to ascertain what 's on maxie 's mind , perhaps because she changes it so often . ellie : [ chuckles ] well , not me . when i find something i like , i stick with it . hence the cheese danish . spinelli : i - i 'm sorry . what ? ellie : oh , well , i ran a comparison of all of the foods available for purchase at the coffee cart , and the list of ingredients for the cheese danish was half as long as the one for the cherry pie . spinelli : wow . how proactive of you . ellie : i know . well , while i prefer the cherry pie , i 'd rather not glow in the dark . spinelli : you know , that might have some uses . next time i go spelunking , i could take you along . ellie : ooh ! i would love to go spelunking with you , damien . but i have to admit , uh , i had an ulterior motive when i asked you to join me for breakfast . spinelli : motive , eh ? ellie : i need a private investigator . [ scene_break ] sabrina : after emma fell asleep , i looked through the whole rest of the album . god , there were such gorgeous gowns . elizabeth : most of them were worn by one woman . she was the hostess / emcee , lucy coe . she had 8 to 10 wardrobe changes every year , and without fail , she would end up on stage in her underwear . sabrina : [ laughs ] really ? elizabeth : mm - hmm . sabrina : wow . you know , some of those musical numbers looked really elaborate . elizabeth : they were . and we all had to perform . i did one with emily quartermaine and juan santiago . wait a minute . is n't that your last name ? sabrina : yeah . juan santiago is my cousin . elizabeth : you kidding me ? sabrina : mnh - mnh . elizabeth : no . he 's your cousin ? sabrina : yeah . yeah , he 's actually the one who convinced me to apply here . he said that g.h . was a really great place , and , i mean , if it was n't for him , juan , i would have never met pat -- [ coughs ] excuse me . [ clears throat ] patients and doctors , and , of course , nurses -- all of the wonderful people here . [ scene_break ] patrick : well , we all want to see mommy , baby , but we ca n't . emma : mommy 's here . patrick : oh , your birthday -- your birthday dvd , huh ? last year , uh ... emma fell asleep , so robin and i recorded ourselves and made a little birthday video for her . emma : can we watch it ? patrick : yeah , you want to watch it ? i do n't know . we should probably ask grandma . what do you say ? you up for it ? anna : yep . should we watch it ? emma : yeah . anna : come here , birthday girl . come on . patrick : [ sniffles ] anna : [ smooches ] [ scene_break ] [ cell phone rings ] duke : this better be an emergency . i told you never to call me here . [ scene_break ] dante : well , the first question seems simple enough -- names . lulu : i kind of like rocco for a boy . dante : i think they mean our names . lulu : i knew that . [ scene_break ] duke : what is it that 's so important ? there 's a problem with robin scorpio - drake . [ scene_break ] mcbain : i 've already spoken with anna . i mean , i told her that jerry jacks arranged to have scully 's charges in atlantic city dropped . sam : does she realize that jerry 's the second shooter ? mcbain : listen , it 's a good theory , but that 's all it is . we need proof . sam : you want proof ? i 've got proof . right here -- my son . when everyone thought he was dead , i knew he was alive . just like i knew daniel was jason 's . mcbain : i know jason loved daniel as his own . sam : jason is daniel 's biological father . mcbain : did i miss something ? what about the paternity test ? sam : no , no . you did miss something . heather tampered with it . steve was able to find the original documents in his mother 's belongings , and , yeah . [ chuckles ] daniel is jason 's . mcbain : wow . did jason know ? sam : he will know ... as soon as i find him . mcbain : it 's good to have hope , sam , but you do n't want to get too far ahead of yourself . sam : i 've learned to trust my instincts . jason is alive and jerry jacks has him . and i definitely know where to find proof . [ scene_break ] duke : what seems to be the difficulty ? dr. ubrecht : robin is getting stronger . it 's becoming increasingly difficult to control her . duke : well , that 's your job , is n't it ? damn it . [ scene_break ] lulu : oh , that 's 10 out of 10 . next question . dante : `` please provide us with a complete family history of the potential parents so that we may get an idea of the extended families . `` [ scene_break ] spinelli : you want me to investigate somebody ? ellie : not somebody -- something . my building is being condemned . spinelli : oh , sorry . ellie : yeah , i think the owner wants to replace it with something bigger and more profitable , but in the meantime , i do n't even know where to begin to look for a new apartment , especially one i can afford . so , i was thinking , with your investigative skills , maybe you could help me find something that 's both livable and within my price range ? spinelli : well , the port charles real - estate market is indeed formidable . i mean , i myself am virtually homeless . ever since i moved out of maxie 's apartment , i 've been hopping from a friend 's spare room to my office couch . ellie : i did n't even realize that you and maxie had cohabited . spinelli : well , we had separate rooms . well , we were n't even dating . ellie : yeah , it just must have been challenging in terms of compatibility . spinelli : somewhat . ellie : it can be difficult enough to cohabitate with someone of the same sex , and i can imagine having a roommate of the opposite gender presents a unique set of problems . [ scene_break ] maxie : wow . i forgot how steep those stairs are from the street ! so , who 's it gon na be ? who 's my new roommate ? trey : you know , i think you should stay , starr . starr : no , trey . you have nowhere else to go . maxie : wait . first you 're fighting over who gets to stay , and now you 're fighting over who gets to move out ? okay , fine . i 'll pick . well , i 'd love to live with a girl because then we could share clothes . or not . living with a guy would be great for security reasons . so , would you say you 're proficient in , like , martial arts and self - defense ? trey : this is ridiculous . maxie : you 're right . i ca n't pick who 's gon na be my new roommate any more than you guys can . i know ! we 'll handle this the old - fashion way . okay . heads or tails ? [ scene_break ] elizabeth : it 's been forever since i thought about those routines . we had so much fun . sabrina : why did they stop having the nurses ' ball ? elizabeth : it was too expensive . there was n't enough money in the budget , which has only grown smaller since the last ball , and that was ... i think in 2001 ? i mean , it 's sad but there will never be another nurses ' ball . [ scene_break ] [ video ] robin : well , your dad has something very right . you will shine . i mean , you 've had that down pat since the day you were born . it seems like yesterday you were saying your first word . patrick : nascar . robin : [ laughs ] daddy 's girl . you 're so beautiful . you are and people will always tell you that , and this is true . but i want you to remember something else . you are much more than that . you are compassionate , you 're a kind person , and you are funny . patrick : well , we know where that comes from . robin : there 's nothing you ca n't do , emma . [ scene_break ] anna : [ sniffles ] patrick : hey . mommy 's right about that . there 's nothing you ca n't do . anna : happy birthday . [ scene_break ] duke : you have to get the situation under control . dr. ubrecht : she has proved to be extremely resourceful . you may need to take care of it personally . duke : well , you 're probably right . okay . i 'll make arrangements . [ scene_break ] mcbain : say we go to the cops . what kind of evidence can you offer that jerry 's alive and he 's holding jason hostage ? sam : we follow the money . i mean , the $ 88 million went missing . i mean , somebody had to pick it up . i 'm sure it was jerry . so , if we find the money , we find jerry . mcbain : unless he electronically transferred it to another account before the boat exploded . sam : why are -- why are you being so negative ? mcbain : i 'm not . this is what the cops are gon na say to you . sam : i 'm just saying that all we have to do is call the bank where the money was originally wired and see what time the second transfer was . mcbain : so , say jerry survives the explosion . he 's alive . so , what does he do ? he goes to switzerland , he collects his money , and then he decides -- then he decides , `` i 'm gon na go back to port charles and i 'm gon na shoot sonny corinthos ' accountant . `` sam : well , yeah . jerry 's gon na cover his tracks . if he 's gon na do something wrong to sonny , he 's definitely gon na want to shut bernie up . mcbain : okay , but if your theory 's correct , he 's already got $ 80-something million . how much more does he need ? why risk everything coming back here ? sam : i do n't know . i do n't know . what are you saying ? that somebody else was working with joe scully ? mcbain : yeah , that 's what i 'm saying . whoever fired those other shots has a much bigger agenda than sonny 's money . [ scene_break ] dr. ubrecht : where do you think you are going ? robin : home . dr. ubrecht : you need to get back to bed . robin : no , i 'm strong now . and it 's time for me to go see my husband and -- and my little girl , emma . it 's -- dr. ubrecht : i 'm afraid you 're mistaken . robin : i think it 's her birthday . dr ubrecht : you ca n't risk a setback . robin : i mean , it 's been so long . emma may have forgotten me . [ scene_break ] emma : i love you , mommy . [ telephone rings ] anna : hang on . emma : hello ? anna : [ laughs ] no . i think it 's me . it 's a real -- ooh . hello ? duke : good morning , anna . thank you very much for last night . i - i loved dancing with you . anna : oh , you 're welcome . sure . yes .

[ scene_break ] duke : i 'm at the haunted star . can you come here ? i need to see you . anna : what ? now ? duke : if it 's possible . anna : yeah . okay . i can stop by on the way to the station . duke : thank you . [ scene_break ] sabrina : you know , it 's so sad that the hospital ca n't come up with a little money to support the nurses ' ball , especially now that dr. scorpio - drake is gone . elizabeth : i agree . but it was a lot of hard work , and we complained every year that we had to do it . but in the end , we always wound up loving it . [ scene_break ] spinelli : the only reason maxie took me on as a roommate was to make matt jealous . ellie : huh . well , i 'm not acquainted with maxie 's wrench - murderer husband . she must have loved him at some point , right ? i mean , why else would she have married him ? oh , and now she 's getting a divorce . spinelli : i would n't worry about maxie . ellie : you 're right . a girl that terrific is bound to find someone soon . [ scene_break ] [ coin tings ] trey : oh . uh . heads . starr : that 's not fair , trey . maxie : sorry . we agreed . starr : you did n't give us a chance to agree or disagree . maxie : life is all about embracing change and handling setbacks . and i 'm really sorry that somebody has to move out of this awesome apartment , but it 's not gon na be me because , as i mentioned , i found this place first , which means my name is on the lease , which means i can move back here whenever i want , which just happens to be right now , and it 's not like you guys are gon na be out on the street . i mean , you have resources . there 's a block of utility apartments over on van ness . starr : you could have at least given us some notice . you ca n't just walk in here with your suitcase . maxie : well , i do n't know why you 're being so combative . you picked heads . you 're staying . pack it up , trey . maxie : now , i know we 're not really friends , but we 'll have fun . you 'll see . i 'll teach you all about clothes and makeup and you can teach me about whatever . hey , can you cook ? starr : just forget about it , okay ? just forget it . trey and i found this place together , and if he 's moving out , then so am i . trey : no . no , starr . starr : friends help friends , right ? besides , maxie and i would not make compatible roommates . maxie : you do n't know that . starr : yes , i do . maxie : but if you both leave , then i wo n't have any roommate . starr : right , but life is all about `` handling setbacks , `` right ? trey : good luck with that . maxie : [ scoffs ] [ scene_break ] elizabeth : i used to get the worst stage fright . i literally would be shaking before i went on . sabrina : but you loved it , too . elizabeth : i did . because we all knew that even if we made a fool out of ourselves , we were doing something that mattered . the nurses ' ball was important . sabrina : you know what ? i bet the board could come up with a little money to bring back the nurses ' ball . i mean , it was such a great cause , and it was robin 's legacy , you know ? just think about how proud her family would be . elizabeth : the hospital has n't had funding for years . we 're just gon na have to come up with other ways to remember robin . [ scene_break ] emma : and i was princess belle for halloween . i had her pretty dress when she wears when she dances with the beast . patrick : who are you talking to ? emma : mommy in heaven . i 'm pretending she can talk to me . sorry , mommy . that was daddy . she wants to talk to you . [ scene_break ] robin : i 'm a doctor , and i can assure you i 'm ready to go home . i 'm sorry , robin , but i ca n't allow that . let me help you get back to your room . robin : no , i do n't want to go back to my room . you need to calm down . robin : i want to go home to see my husband . i need my family ! you need to calm down ! robin : please ! [ scene_break ] duke : i need to book a flight to zurich . yes . as soon as possible . [ scene_break ] lulu : the adoption agencies are looking for parents with good , upstanding extended families , and our families do n't exactly inspire confidence . dante : well , my father may be an alleged crime lord , but i did n't grow up with him . lulu : your parents were never married . your mom was a teen mother . dante : who now suffers from lsd - related hallucinations . lulu : i mean , this does n't scream `` safe , supportive extended families , `` not that mine 's any better . dante : hey , your parents were married . you got that going for you . lulu : i ca n't remember the last year that my dad filed a tax return . i doubt he does , either , and he 's wanted on criminal charges in at least 10 countries on 5 continents . dante : we 'll call them pending court actions . lulu : and my mom was catatonic for over a decade , and even though she lives independently in paris , she still gets treatment for psychomotor disassociation . dante : we 'll say she 's been very diligent about her aftercare . lulu : okay , but realistically , if we adopt a child , they 're gon na get two criminal grandfathers and two mentally unstable grandmothers . what kind of extended family is that ? dante : this agency is n't gon na care about that . they want to know who 's gon na be babysitting the kid , and we 'll make it clear to them it 's obviously not gon na be the grandparents or cousin connie , who belongs in a psych ward . lulu : or uncle ethan , who 's the grifter , or uncle lucky , who is the recovering drug addict . dante : or uncle michael , who spent time in prison for manslaughter . lulu : what are we gon na do ? dante : well , we have to answer the question because it says `` incomplete applications get rejected , `` so ... lulu : okay , well , so , what do we do ? dante : we tell them the truth , okay ? it 's background information . it does n't say anything about who we are or what we can provide for a child . every other line in this application spells out how much love we have to give . that 's what this agency is gon na care about . [ scene_break ] anna : hi . good morning . lulu : hi . dante : hey . anna : that was a great party last night . thank you . lulu : thanks for coming . anna : sure . yeah , i had a good time . i want to go over the abrams - scully case with you later on today . is that all right ? dante : yeah , yeah , yeah . of course . anna : is du -- oh . good morning . duke : thank you for coming over . anna : yeah . you were right , you know , what you said about as soon as i started dancing , it would all come back to me . duke : last night was very special . that 's what makes it so difficult for me to say goodbye . [ scene_break ] sam : okay , so , this second shooter , this man with some big agenda -- if it was n't jerry , then who was it ? mcbain : the police are looking into it . sam : they 're not looking for jason . mcbain : at this point , i think the authorities believe jason is dead . sam : well , they 're wrong . i know they are . what would you do ? if someone you loved was presumed dead with no body , no proof , would you just accept it ? no . i know you would n't do that . you have to help me . mcbain : you 're right . i would n't accept it . at the same time , i have no authority here , sam . sam : neither do i . but you know what i do have ? i have hope . mcbain : you also have a child . do n't do anything stupid . sam : you know what ? you 're right . i have a child . and i owe it to his father to do the right thing . mcbain : yeah . on the flip side , whoever the second shooter is , they 're obviously dangerous and they have a lot of influence . you start talking to the wrong people , bad things are gon na happen . right now , your son needs you more than ever . sam : you 're right . he needs me to do the right thing , and if you 're not gon na help me , i 'll find someone else who will . mcbain : i 'm your friend , sam . i 'm on your side . be careful . i 'll be there when you need me . [ scene_break ] anna : so where are you going ? duke : washington . they want to debrief me further about the period when i was in captivity . anna : they want to debrief you on election day ? duke : [ laughing ] yeah . maybe somebody got nervous about the amount of money that it cost to rescue me . anna : so , how long are you going for ? duke : oh , i wo n't be long . i think just a couple of days , although i do n't know how my new employers at the haunted star will take me asking for a leave of absence after only one day of employment .

wow . would you look at that ? sharon : let me see . jack : okay , you 're obviously devoting a lot of your energy to being angry at mariah , when the truth is there 's nothing you could do to her that gravity has n't already done . hilary : it 's just that devon knows that that girl is not tv material . when he fired me , he said that because he 's the boss , he needs to stick to his word . a reasonable boss would be able to admit that he made a huge and disastrous mistake and then come and beg me to come back to the show . jack : just maybe not in those terms . hilary : i 'm just -- i 'm so sick of how judgmental he is . he 's always telling me how to behave , how to act . he makes all of the money , so he calls all of the shots . jack : well , i 'm sure devon does n't see it that way . hilary : yeah , only because he does n't want to . jack : there is one obvious option . hilary : yes , there is . i 'm gon na ignore him for a week . jack : you could do that , or you could work for someone else , someone who hires you to do a job and then gets out of the way so that you can do it -- no family complications to get in the way of business , no worry about emotional manipulation or hurt feelings . hilary : are you saying that you have a show that you want me to host ?

hilary is a part of that . devon : yeah , but she 's not that bad . lily : yes , she is , and you know it . devon : she lights up when she 's in front of the camera . lily : of course she lights up . she loves hurting people . devon : no , she likes the ratings . that 's what she likes . lily : listen , hilary will drag us down in the mud if we give her the platform to do it , so do n't . you 're the one in control here . devon : what am i really in control of ? not my marriage , not the show . mariah walked away , and i had to work very hard to get her to come back last time , so she 's not gon na do it again , which means i have no host , which means the syndicators are airing reruns . and the thing about gossip -- it 's not exactly a rerun business . lily : devon , this is not just about business . this is the kind of energy that you 're putting into the world . and what do you want ? kindness or cruelty ? devon : this actually is about my marriage , and the ratings for which are dropping faster than my actual tv show . nikki : i love buying for babies . look ! victor : look at that . nikki : look , nicholas ! nick : yep . nikki : is that sweet ? nick : it is . more clothes for christian . nikki : well , among other things i bought , too . and your father and i want to take faith to new york when she has a break from school . i 'm gon na take her to as many shows as she can stand . nick : well , she would love that , mom . thanks . nikki : she has a beautiful voice . i mean , she could be on broadway herself someday . victor : you never know . nick : you never know . victor : would n't that be something ? now , son , how you gon na handle all this ? i mean , if you were to come to newman , that 'd be childcare , and you could put christian , you know , near your office and you could see him all the time . nick : yeah , i appreciate that , dad , but , you know , i have my own business to run . victor : you know , i thought about that . why do n't you hand that over to noah ? he 's a young buck . he can stay out to all hours . you 're free to be home for dinner with your children . i think that 's very important . nick : uh , yes , dad , but i think you 're forgetting that us , you know , at newman together just does n't work . that 's a fact . we both know that . nikki : so , how long do you think christian will be napping ? victor : sweetheart , i 'm talking to our boy about coming back to newman . nikki : darling , he 's made his decision . victor : but you do n't have all the information . neither does he . nikki : are you talking about how the two of you always clash and how long it takes to get over it ? look at us . things are going so well right now , and nicholas does n't want to come back to newman . victor : because we have arguments and we have fights . is n't that right , my boy ? nick : pretty sure you 're making my argument for me . victor : mm - hmm . what if i were to step back , no longer run newman ? jack : so ... ? hilary : so ... ? jack : could you see yourself on another show ? hilary : yeah . absolutely . this is what i 'm meant to do , jack . i - i want it . i do . i want it badly . jack : okay , so ask yourself why . hilary : when i ... when devon first asked me to host , i did n't know the answer to that question . but when i came to town , i lost so much of my history . i hid myself for so long , and i was ... so angry about everything . then things changed . suddenly i was -- i was just grateful to have people in my life that cared about me . i was so grateful that i did n't expect more , i did n't ask for more . so i went from hating the world to being a doormat . jack : oh . hilary : but i think somewhere in the middle , i found myself . i was n't a doormat . i was n't hateful . it was just me . and in a weird way , i think that gc buzz did that . jack : i get that . i really do . so ask yourself what was it that happened at work , what went on there that made you feel like yourself ? hilary : i found myself . just me and the camera . and the audience . it felt like i was gossiping with friends over coffee . jack : [ chuckles ] hilary : and it was n't meant to be hurtful , no matter what devon thinks . i would sit in my chair , and i would put my mike on , and it just -- it just felt so right . or i would catch a glimpse at the cameraman and he would -- he would nod and smile like i was nailing it . and i do n't know . okay , i 'm gon na admit it . it felt -- it felt good . and the viewers . [ sighs ] the fans . i - i had actual fans who would turn on their tvs and their computers and their phones just for me , to watch me . and to have that kind of support , not -- not from one person or two , but from millions ... i do n't know . it just ... i 'm just not ready to let that go . jack : even though those people do n't really know you ? even though their approval is not based on who you are ? hilary : no , it 's -- i know . it 's based on how i do my job , but -- but i was good . i was so good . even -- even if a lot of the people , they thought that i was just there because i was married to the owner . jack : for what it 's worth , i thought you were a natural . hilary : thank you . thank you . but you are a friend . jack : okay , fair enough . but what if we could find someone who was objective , who knew the business , who knew about talent ? look , i 'm not totally naive about this whole thing . i was on `` the talk , `` you know . hilary : ohh , i forgot about that . jack : i 'm serious . what if i could bring in someone who was completely unbiased to take a look at you and what you do ? would you hear what they had to say ? sharon : hello , devon . devon : hi . sharon : um , i have got to get this one to her riding lesson , but there 's some coffee made in the kitchen . mariah , why do n't you get devon some coffee ? devon : no , no , no . i 'm fine , actually . thank you , though . sharon : okay , well , we have to excuse ourselves . the ponies are waiting . devon : of course they are . sharon : [ chuckles ] faith : bye . devon : bye - bye . hi . mariah : hey . devon : looking good there . mariah : yep . i got a shiner . devon : how 's that pride ? mariah : record high , actually . turns out who would n't want a black eye and to watch an endless loop of themselves eating dirt , or , in this case , red carpet ? devon : i take it you 've been online . mariah : i have . i have . some people think that i am pathetic . others think that i 'm adorable . there 's this one guy who even suggested that i start a professional wrestling career . devon : [ chuckles ] mariah : yeah , it 's not really my thing , but the paycheck would be nice . devon : well , let me tell you something . uh , we got paychecks at gc buzz , and i would love to have you back . mariah : no . devon : i still need a host , mariah . mariah : no again . devon : no more live shows and no more red carpets . mariah : [ sighs ] let me try this one more time . no . why have n't you hired hilary back ? devon : well , because i 'm not gon na do that , and i just -- i ca n't , especially after the lecture i just got from lily . mariah : [ chuckles ] i bet she is so happy that you 're on the outs with hilary . let me guess . balloons , skywriting ? devon : [ chuckles ] no , she 's keeping it low key , but she is right that we ca n't go back to the old , sleazy ways of gc buzz . mariah : yeah , but lily is your sister . hilary 's your wife , and she 's probably making your life hell right now . devon : no , what 's hell right now is that we 're airing reruns . mariah : on a gossip show ? how does that work ? devon : that 's exactly my point . and it 's why i really need you to come back , okay ? and let me tell you , it does n't have to be long - term . mariah : that 's what you said last time . and one episode was more than enough . way more . devon : how about this ? if you help me out until i find a replacement , after everything 's over , i will make you a segment producer . mariah : no more getting coffee or delivering files ? devon : nope . and a generous bump in pay . how 's that sound ? nikki : darling , you 're talking about retiring , but that certainly would n't be now . nick : yeah , dad . some distant date in the future is not gon na prevent us from butting heads at the office . victor : no , i 'm talking about now . you know , maybe take a step back from running the company and devote some more time to your beautiful mother and to the grandchildren . nick : are you buying any of this ? nikki : i think he 's still in the haze of a wonderful weekend . and as much as i love new york , as i said before , we are back to reality . victor : what ? you do n't think i know my own mind ? nick : dad , you 've walked away from newman like a dozen times , but then you always come back . then when you do , people -- and when i 'm saying people , i 'm talking about me and vick -- that we walk away or we get fired . so we could just save everyone the headache and let it go . victor : fair enough . nick : thank you . victor : but i 'm serious . i might do it . nick : that `` might `` is pretty convincing . victor : well , it will turn into `` certainly `` if i knew who was running the company . [ doorbell rings ] nikki : the baby . oh , my gosh . nick : mom , i 'm telling you , you ca n't wake that kid up . he 's fine . faith : hi , grandma ! nikki : hi , sweetheart ! ooh , look at you all dressed up for your lesson . you look adorable . sharon , come on in . sharon : she needs to stay hydrated . nikki : well , you know , we have water here . and we can take her home when she 's finished with her lesson , so you do n't need to come back . faith : ooh , christian 's here . nick : hey , beautiful . faith : i 'm wearing different pants . nick : i see that . faith : [ chuckles ] hi , grandpa . victor : hi , sweetheart . hi , my sweetheart . ooh , yeah . so ... sharon : i did not know that you and christian would be here . nikki : well , they are , so excuse us . sharon : well , wait a minute . i need to talk to nick about faith 's christmas show . um , do you need me to drive her to school , or do you need help with her costume ? because i 'd be happy to help . nick : i got it covered . ride , costume . we 're all good . nikki : there you have it , sharon . everything is fine . i 'll show you the door . sharon : i know the way . nikki : honestly , how brazen can you be ? faith certainly knows her way to this house . you could have had dylan bring her . i have n't seen him in a long time . sharon : there 's no need to be dramatic , nikki . he was just here the other morning . nikki : oh , well , you do n't know your husband very well , because i did n't see him . and i would like very much right now to not see you . goodbye . hilary : i really did n't think that i would need a reel so soon , but entertainment is a fast - paced business . i 'm sure i do n't need to tell you that with your client list . i 'm just so thrilled that you were able to meet with me on such short notice . barry : jack and i go way back . i owe him one . hilary : well , i hope that this is n't gon na be a complete waste of your time , mr. strickler . barry : oh , please . call me barry . you know , you have great on - camera presence . it 's magnetic . hilary : oh , well , thank you . you know , that 's what i was telling jack that this is where i feel the most at home . the audience , they really feel like my friend . and i wrote my own copy on every episode . barry : it 's a selling point . hilary : i think it makes it more organic and personal . barry : so , why did you leave gc buzz , your husband 's show ? what went wrong ? hilary : truthfully ? barry : yeah . hilary : nothing . yeah , there 's no conflict at all . but i did hear the word `` nepotism `` being thrown around a lot , so i thought that it would be smarter to move on , show that i 'm willing to do the work to make it in this business on my own , pay my dues , to an extent , of course . barry : and where does your contract with gc buzz stand now ? hilary : i have none . barry : no contract ? hilary : well , except for a marriage contract . [ chuckles ] but other than that , i am completely free to pursue other opportunities . so , tell me honestly . do you really think that i have what it takes ? barry : you 're green . but you 're smart . the camera loves you , and you have drive . there are places that would jump at someone like you . hilary : jump ? so i would have options ? barry : plenty of them . hilary : that is fantastic . thank you . i - i really needed to hear this . and , you know , there is someone else who needs to hear it , too . mariah : actually , could you , uh , hold off on that for a second ? i just need a minute . thanks . devon : all right . the red carpet is on its way out . no more runways ever . mariah : yeah , great . no more me , either . i ca n't do this . i ca n't host the show , devon . dylan : hey , you okay ? you sounded a little rattled on the phone . sharon : oh , i did n't mean to worry you . i just wanted to talk . dylan : okay . i 'm here . what 's up ? sharon : well , um , i went up to the main house to drop off faith . nick was there with christian . dylan : did he give you a hard time about being around the baby ? sharon : no , it was n't that . nick was civil . and christian was sleeping in his stroller . dylan : how 'd he look ? sharon : perfect . dylan : so what upset you ? sharon : well , nikki decided to lecture me basically about everything , and she happened to mention that she did n't see you the other day when you went up to the main house . how is that possible ? did you not go ? dylan : um , no , i went . sharon : was nikki not there ? dylan : she was . sharon : okay , can you explain what happened , dylan , please ? you went to the main house to thank nikki for all of her support and ... ? dylan : and , uh , nothing . i mean , nick was already there . they were having a big , cheerful family hug like they were celebrating that nick got his son . and i got nothing . and nikki was with him , and honestly , it kind of hurt . and i could n't knock on the door and i could n't face them . sharon : dylan . look , you know nikki 's not my favorite person in the world at all , but she does love you , and that 's very real . dylan : i 'm not one of her kids , really . you know what i 'm saying . i did n't -- i did n't grow up with her . i know she cares about me , but when push comes to shove , she 's a newman and i 'm not . and that makes all the difference . lily : so , the caterer made sure there are a few vegan options . jack : sounds good . lily : and then i also feel horrible that we could n't host the benefit , so i came up with some suggestions for decor , which are right here . now , this will work at whatever venue you end up using . and i 'm also waiting for the final cut of the video of the foundation 's accomplishments . jack ? jack : huh ? lily : if you 're preoccupied , i can come back . jack : no , no , no , i 'm sorry . family business . lily : oh . uh , jabot family business or family business ? jack : sometimes family and business are one and the same . lily : oh , yeah . i have seen that up close . sometimes it 's great . jack : and other times ? lily : ugly does n't even begin to cover it . jack : is n't that the truth . devon : the other day was not a normal day , okay ? it was a live show . there was a runway . and it was your first time hosting , which you pulled off like a champ . mariah : it 's not me , devon . it 's not what i want . you want somebody who can come in here and stand in front of the camera day in and day out and look at it as a fun , exciting challenge , not a pathway to humiliation . i 'm out . for real . hilary : hello , beautiful people . ugh . mariah . poor thing . are you okay ? mariah : it 's weird . you know , i keep telling people that i prefer my face this way . yeah , i think it adds character . hilary : well , that 's the spirit . and you have tons of character . loads . mariah : i also have a promotion . segment producer . hilary : oh . well , that 's good . congratulations . you must be very pleased . devon : honey , um , do you mind if we have a word for a minute ? hilary : yeah , yeah , of course . but , um , mariah , you might still have time to put some ice on that , because no one needs that much character . sharon : you 're not alone , dylan . you 're never going to be alone . you 've got me . you 've got paul . mariah loves you . faith -- she thinks you hung the moon . remember when you two got to know each other and you gave her that little tool belt and she shadowed you forever after that ? dylan : yeah , i 'll always be grateful for that . maybe i just expect too much from nikki . i mean , terry and penelope were the parents that i knew most of my life , and most people only get one set of parents . sharon : well , you 're not most people . and nikki does love you . dylan : yeah , i know , but nick and victoria are her priority , and that 's okay . i mean , that 's the truth . but i have my own family . and i know how lucky i am . sharon : we are lucky in our own way . dylan : so we just move on together . you know , we do n't -- we do n't have sully , but there 's a whole world of things to focus on out there . sharon : and we will do that . dylan : yeah , we will . faith : jingle bells , jingle bells , jingle all the way oh , what fun it is to ride in a one - horse open sleigh all : hey ! faith : jingle bells , jingle bells , jingle all the way oh , what fun it is to ride in a one - horse open sleigh hey ! victor : hey ! faith : [ chuckles ] nick : look at that . victor : what a beautiful voice you 've got . nick : you crushed that . victor : you have a wonderful voice . faith : thanks . nikki : [ chuckles ] victor : come here . that 's so sweet . my god . faith : grandpa ? victor : yes ? faith : is it okay if we skip my riding lesson ? it 's so cold out there and cozy in here and christmas - y . victor : oh ... nick : i mean , she is working you . victor : well , i know , and i love it . yes , we 'll stay inside , okay ? faith : yay ! victor : shall we do that ? come here . so ... faith : ooh ! victor : oh , my goodness . faith : oh ! victor : oh , my goodness . faith : what 's in this one ? victor : i do n't know . nikki : look at him . other people look at him , they see a mogul . i look at him and i see a man who turns into mush with his grandchildren . nick : mush ? has he ever heard you call him that ? nikki : mnh - mnh . that 's our secret . but i am right , are n't i ? faith : grandpa , what was your best present ever ? when you were a kid , i mean . victor : well , you know , when i was a kid , i did n't get any presents . faith : what ? victor : yeah . faith : but everybody gets presents . victor : well , no , not everybody . you know , some kids grew up in an orphanage , which i did . we had no presents . faith : like orphan annie from the play ? victor : yeah . you know , my mother was so poor that she -- yeah -- had to leave me at that orphanage so that i would have a place to sleep and to eat , you know . faith : and you waited for her to come back , but she did n't ? victor : oh , well , it took many , many years for her to come back . you know , we had one last christmas before she passed . faith : it was like a christmas miracle . victor : yes , my sweetheart , it was . you know , the last christmas i spent with her , the only christmas i spent with her , it was very nice . it was the best present i could ever give her . devon : i bought this place for you . hilary : yes . and then you fired me . devon : well , because the result was n't what we agreed on . hilary : the show evolved , devon . devon : it did not evolve at all . it actually stayed the same , and it was petty and it was mean . hilary : so now i 'm petty and i 'm mean . okay . devon : no , you are not , okay ? i think you just got caught up in the rush of trying to put a new show on air every single day , and i understand that . that 's what happens in the media . it 's about the competition of finding the best story , and you wanted to keep up . i get it . hilary : you do ? devon : i do . which is why i think that now we 've had time to cool off , you and i can come to a compromise . hilary : seriously ? devon : i 'm very serious . but you are gon na have to be willing to change , honey . hilary : so you want me back now ? devon : if you agree to shift your tone . hilary : oh ! if i do what you say . devon : that is not what i mean . hilary : that 's exactly what you mean . devon , you are still trying to control me . devon : honey , this is not about me trying to control you at all . it 's about putting something out there that we can both be proud of . hilary : so you 're not even proud of me now . [ scoffs ] devon : it 's not you . i keep saying that . it 's not you . it 's the tone and the subject matter . hilary : both of which i bring to the show . oh , but it 's not me . [ scoffs ] devon , you are tying yourself in knots trying not to offend me . here 's a little bit of advice . it 's not working . devon : okay , hey , i 'm just trying to do whatever i can to make this work . hilary : so you -- you want me back now . [ cell phone rings ] hilary : oh , you should take that . devon : we need to finish this conversation . hilary : oh , no , no . i can wait . devon : hello . devon hamilton . barry : devon , barry strickler . i represent hilary curtis . devon : excuse me ? barry : i 'm her agent . devon : you are hilary curtis ' agent ? since when ? barry : very recent . honestly , i wish i 'd gotten to her sooner . now , i understand you 've released her from the show . i just want to confirm that there are no lingering obligations , because offers are coming in and we 're gon na have to pounce asap . sharon : still ca n't get over how quiet it is . and i have got to stop saying that . dylan : it is the truth . [ sighs ] it 's , uh , way too quiet . sharon : no sully . faith is spending most of her time with nick . dylan : and meanwhile you 're bargaining for more time with her . i 'm worried that nick 's gon na shut you out completely , and i do n't really think that 's fair . sharon : nick and i have had visitation issues with faith her entire life . that 's just the way that it is . dylan : yeah , but the difference is she 's your own daughter . sharon : she 's our daughter . she 's part of this family , too , this family that we created . and that 's not gon na change . nikki : can you believe your father opening up to faith like that ? imagine that happening 10 years ago , even 5 years ago . nick : has he been talking about that a lot lately , his mom , the orphanage ? nikki : these things are clearly on his mind . so when your father is considering leaving newman , i think we need to take his word on that . nick : and you did n't plant the seed ? nikki : mnh - mnh . i know better than that . anytime i try to influence him at the office , he digs his heels in and it backfires on me . no , he has to make the right decision for himself , but i pray . oh , how i pray . victor : come here . faith : i love you , grandpa . victor : you make me happy , my sweetheart . very happy . [ next_on ] ashley : ohh ! farrah : are you kidding me ? ! ashley : i am so sorry . cane : jack 's the one who signed the lease . he ca n't just rip it up on a whim ! victoria : it 's not a whim . it was cold and it was calculated . billy : you 're gon na pretend this has anything to do with business ? it does n't . i 'm not letting you get away with it . | mariah tells devon that she does n't want to be the temporary host of gc buzz , because she likes working behind the scenes , so devon gives her a promotion to segment producer along with a raise . hilary tells jack that she loved doing the show , because she felt like she had found herself when she was on camera . jack puts hilary in touch with an agent barry strickler who tells her that even though she does n't have much experience , she has raw talent and he feels she could get a job anywhere . hilary asks barry to call devon and tell him she has a lot of other job offers . mariah suspects that faith is right about someone sabotaging her and causing her to fall during the fashion show . she suspects that person to be hilary . dylan admits to sharon that he did n't go to thank nikki for her support during the custody hearing , because he was about to knock the door when he saw nikki with nick and christian , and he realized that nick and victoria will always be nikki 's priority and he will never be a newman . victor asks nick to come back to work at newman enterprises and let noah run underground . victor admits that he is considering stepping back from the company , but he needs someone he trusts to run it . victor also tells faith that he grew up in an orphanage and that his mother was too poor to take care of him . victor also shares with faith that he never got presents at the orphanage and that the best present he ever got was when he got to spend his one and only christmas with his mother before she died . nick and nikki are both touched by the fact that victor shared such a personal memory with faith . | <s>[INST] sharon : ouch . did n't the ice help at all last night ? mariah : yeah . no , it definitely did . you can barely tell that i faceplanted in front of the world . sharon : do you want me to do your makeup for you ? mariah : do you have a trowel or maybe a paper bag that i can put over my head ? sharon : stop . let me . mariah : and maybe after we 're done , we can surf the internet for any cool new names that they 've come up with for me . like miss fall fashion or my personal favorite , hell of heels . sharon : which is why no more surfing until all this is over . just let the public turn on someone else a little while . and you know they will . people who want to be hateful , they 're always looking for fresh meat . and you were very brave , by the way . mariah : oh , god , please do n't say that . that makes it worse . like i survived a war . you know , dylan is brave . stitch is brave . i 'm just the idiot who tripped in front of millions . sharon : [ gasps ] oh , gosh . dylan ! are you okay ? dylan : [ sighs ] i do n't know how that happened . mariah : really ? you just pulled a prat fall to make me feel better ? faith : no ! it was real ! see ? it could happen to anyone . dylan : that 's right . ladies , i 'm the new klutz in town . mariah : [ scoffs ] lily : well , mariah did a great job . the web loves her . she 's even a meme now . devon : oh , believe me , i was relieved when i read the comments online last night , but the truth is , people are still laughing at mariah and the gc buzz . it 's not vicious . lily : well , `` not vicious `` is a novelty for gc buzz . devon : still , i need a host and a show that people take seriously . lily : true . people took it seriously when hilary was trashing people 's lives , but i would take a laugh over that nastiness any day . devon : i completely agree with you . i was n't happy when hilary was dishing out dirt like that , but there has to be some kind of happy medium . lily : yeah , with a different host . hilary has shown that she 's not interested in a happy medium . she 's not an option . devon : i know that . and if you 're worried about me hiring her back , do n't be , because she 's barely talking to me right now . lily : of course . that 's a game that she plays . she acts like the victim when really she brought it on herself . do n't fall for it , devon . hey , i mean it . do not let her get her claws back into that show . jack : good morning . hilary : is it ? jack : it appears that coffee is n't the only thing that 's steaming today . hilary : did you see gc buzz yesterday , or did you catch it online this morning ? because mariah copeland , she is hero to the masses because she took a header on national tv . is that how low we set the bar now ? fall on your face and you , too , can be a star . jack : yeah , i saw it . it was n't pretty . i take it you and gc buzz have parted ways . hilary : no , we did n't just part ways . my husband fired me . yeah , he fired me . me , his wife . have you ever heard of such a thing ? jack : do i know anything about difficult marriage / work situations ? hmm . yeah . look , devon will come around , wo n't he ? hilary : he was just so smug and self - righteous and pleased with himself . he finally found someone that he could control to host the show . and you know what she does ? she embarrasses herself and gc buzz . you think that he would come crawling back to me by now . jack : i take it he has n't done that . hilary : no . and trust me , i have done everything that i could to make that happen . [ door opens ] nikki : oh ! oh , my gosh , did we buy too much . victor : is there ever too much for christmas ? nikki : [ chuckles ] oh , new york is so beautiful this time of year . just like a postcard and all the shopping and restaurants and theater and having dinner , just the two of us . and you did n't even have your cell phone out . now , that is true romance . victor : [ chuckles ] if ever i gave you the impression that my cell phone or work or the business is more important than you , then i 'm sorry , baby . nothing is more important to me than my family and my wife . nikki : well , after a weekend like that , you say it , i believe it . victor : do you ? [ doorbell rings ] nikki : ah , and back to reality . i 'll get that . victor : okay . nikki : [ gasps ] well , what a handsome pair ! victor : oh , my goodness . look who 's there . nick : oh , no , he is asleep , but trust me , this kid can sleep through anything . i mean , including me yelling at the football games on tv . victor : [ chuckles ] nick : did you guys have a good time ? victor : we had a wonderful time . nikki : oh , it was the best . victor : you know , i bet you have a lot of presents there for little christian . nick : well , that would be awesome , but right now christian needs something else . victor : what ? nikki : name it . nick : he needs a little grandma / grandpa time . victor : oh . nick : yeah , uh , i need to go to the underground , and amy ca n't come over right now , and she 's the only person i trust to watch him . nikki : well , i would be thrilled to watch him . nick : cool . victor : how are things at the underground ? nick : you know , honestly , i do n't know . i mean , i handed the thing off to noah . um , it 's been christian 24/7 , but , you know , i 'm starting to get the hang of things , so i figure it 's time to go back to work . victor : how do you do it ? i mean , how do you work the late hours and then come home , spend time with your children ? nick : i do n't know . uh , i 'm gon na make it work . victor : i have a solution , you know . regular schedule , you 're home in the evenings , dinner with your children . just come work at newman enterprises . dylan : i swear i tripped , mariah . things like this happen sometimes . mariah : uh - huh . uh - huh . things happen when you stage them for other people 's benefit . faith : okay , maybe it was planned . dylan : faith ! mariah : i knew it . faith : but it was funny , and you did smile . mariah : yes , i did , and that is a feat . i only break out the smile for very , very special occasions . faith : i know ! mom , my riding lesson 's soon , and dad forgot to bring my favorite riding pants . sharon : well , your dad has a lot on his hands lately . mariah : hey , squirt , i know that you 've got an extra pair up there somewhere . do you want to come find them with me ? faith : it 's not the same . mariah : yeah , neither is my face . come on . let 's go . sharon : poor faith . you know , it 's tough sometimes not being the youngest kid anymore . dylan : nick 's been forgetting a lot of things . it keeps happening . sharon : hey , would you mind bringing faith up to the main house for her riding lesson ? you know , just the idea of going up there , the way they stare at me -- dylan : actually , uh , i ca n't . i got to check in at the station . i mean , maybe mariah can go . sharon : no , it 's no problem . i 'm an adult . i can handle nikki for faith 's sake , so just go . text me later . dylan : i will . faith : aaah ! sharon : faith ? faith : [ panting ] sharon : what 's wrong ? mariah : i do n't know . she ran down here and she screamed . i think my makeup wore off . faith : no ! it 's mariah ! she 's trending ! sharon : uh , okay , faith , i do n't want you looking at the phone right now . faith : no , no , it 's not like last night . they 're being nice now . mariah 's got a fan page ! mariah : what ? wow . would you look at that ? sharon : let me see . jack : okay , you 're obviously devoting a lot of your energy to being angry at mariah , when the truth is there 's nothing you could do to her that gravity has n't already done . hilary : it 's just that devon knows that that girl is not tv material . when he fired me , he said that because he 's the boss , he needs to stick to his word . a reasonable boss would be able to admit that he made a huge and disastrous mistake and then come and beg me to come back to the show . jack : just maybe not in those terms . hilary : i 'm just -- i 'm so sick of how judgmental he is . he 's always telling me how to behave , how to act . he makes all of the money , so he calls all of the shots . jack : well , i 'm sure devon does n't see it that way . hilary : yeah , only because he does n't want to . jack : there is one obvious option . hilary : yes , there is . i 'm gon na ignore him for a week . jack : you could do that , or you could work for someone else , someone who hires you to do a job and then gets out of the way so that you can do it -- no family complications to get in the way of business , no worry about emotional manipulation or hurt feelings . hilary : are you saying that you have a show that you want me to host ? jack : sorry . not exactly my business . hilary : see ? there you have it . i have nowhere to go . lily : gc buzz tried destroying every single person in our family , and i think that you did an honorable thing taking it over . you know , you 're trying to make it light and fun instead of dark and cynical . but instead it 's still the same old , same old . and guess what ? hilary is a part of that . devon : yeah , but she 's not that bad . lily : yes , she is , and you know it . devon : she lights up when she 's in front of the camera . lily : of course she lights up . she loves hurting people . devon : no , she likes the ratings . that 's what she likes . lily : listen , hilary will drag us down in the mud if we give her the platform to do it , so do n't . you 're the one in control here . devon : what am i really in control of ? not my marriage , not the show . mariah walked away , and i had to work very hard to get her to come back last time , so she 's not gon na do it again , which means i have no host , which means the syndicators are airing reruns . and the thing about gossip -- it 's not exactly a rerun business . lily : devon , this is not just about business . this is the kind of energy that you 're putting into the world . and what do you want ? kindness or cruelty ? devon : this actually is about my marriage , and the ratings for which are dropping faster than my actual tv show . nikki : i love buying for babies . look ! victor : look at that . nikki : look , nicholas ! nick : yep . nikki : is that sweet ? nick : it is . more clothes for christian . nikki : well , among other things i bought , too . and your father and i want to take faith to new york when she has a break from school . i 'm gon na take her to as many shows as she can stand . nick : well , she would love that , mom . thanks . nikki : she has a beautiful voice . i mean , she could be on broadway herself someday . victor : you never know . nick : you never know . victor : would n't that be something ? now , son , how you gon na handle all this ? i mean , if you were to come to newman , that 'd be childcare , and you could put christian , you know , near your office and you could see him all the time . nick : yeah , i appreciate that , dad , but , you know , i have my own business to run . victor : you know , i thought about that . why do n't you hand that over to noah ? he 's a young buck . he can stay out to all hours . you 're free to be home for dinner with your children . i think that 's very important . nick : uh , yes , dad , but i think you 're forgetting that us , you know , at newman together just does n't work . that 's a fact . we both know that . nikki : so , how long do you think christian will be napping ? victor : sweetheart , i 'm talking to our boy about coming back to newman . nikki : darling , he 's made his decision . victor : but you do n't have all the information . neither does he . nikki : are you talking about how the two of you always clash and how long it takes to get over it ? look at us . things are going so well right now , and nicholas does n't want to come back to newman . victor : because we have arguments and we have fights . is n't that right , my boy ? nick : pretty sure you 're making my argument for me . victor : mm - hmm . what if i were to step back , no longer run newman ? jack : so ... ? hilary : so ... ? jack : could you see yourself on another show ? hilary : yeah . absolutely . this is what i 'm meant to do , jack . i - i want it . i do . i want it badly . jack : okay , so ask yourself why . hilary : when i ... when devon first asked me to host , i did n't know the answer to that question . but when i came to town , i lost so much of my history . i hid myself for so long , and i was ... so angry about everything . then things changed . suddenly i was -- i was just grateful to have people in my life that cared about me . i was so grateful that i did n't expect more , i did n't ask for more . so i went from hating the world to being a doormat . jack : oh . hilary : but i think somewhere in the middle , i found myself . i was n't a doormat . i was n't hateful . it was just me . and in a weird way , i think that gc buzz did that . jack : i get that . i really do . so ask yourself what was it that happened at work , what went on there that made you feel like yourself ? hilary : i found myself . just me and the camera . and the audience . it felt like i was gossiping with friends over coffee . jack : [ chuckles ] hilary : and it was n't meant to be hurtful , no matter what devon thinks . i would sit in my chair , and i would put my mike on , and it just -- it just felt so right . or i would catch a glimpse at the cameraman and he would -- he would nod and smile like i was nailing it . and i do n't know . okay , i 'm gon na admit it . it felt -- it felt good . and the viewers . [ sighs ] the fans . i - i had actual fans who would turn on their tvs and their computers and their phones just for me , to watch me . and to have that kind of support , not -- not from one person or two , but from millions ... i do n't know . it just ... i 'm just not ready to let that go . jack : even though those people do n't really know you ? even though their approval is not based on who you are ? hilary : no , it 's -- i know . it 's based on how i do my job , but -- but i was good . i was so good . even -- even if a lot of the people , they thought that i was just there because i was married to the owner . jack : for what it 's worth , i thought you were a natural . hilary : thank you . thank you . but you are a friend . jack : okay , fair enough . but what if we could find someone who was objective , who knew the business , who knew about talent ? look , i 'm not totally naive about this whole thing . i was on `` the talk , `` you know . hilary : ohh , i forgot about that . jack : i 'm serious . what if i could bring in someone who was completely unbiased to take a look at you and what you do ? would you hear what they had to say ? sharon : hello , devon . devon : hi . sharon : um , i have got to get this one to her riding lesson , but there 's some coffee made in the kitchen . mariah , why do n't you get devon some coffee ? devon : no , no , no . i 'm fine , actually . thank you , though . sharon : okay , well , we have to excuse ourselves . the ponies are waiting . devon : of course they are . sharon : [ chuckles ] faith : bye . devon : bye - bye . hi . mariah : hey . devon : looking good there . mariah : yep . i got a shiner . devon : how 's that pride ? mariah : record high , actually . turns out who would n't want a black eye and to watch an endless loop of themselves eating dirt , or , in this case , red carpet ? devon : i take it you 've been online . mariah : i have . i have . some people think that i am pathetic . others think that i 'm adorable . there 's this one guy who even suggested that i start a professional wrestling career . devon : [ chuckles ] mariah : yeah , it 's not really my thing , but the paycheck would be nice . devon : well , let me tell you something . uh , we got paychecks at gc buzz , and i would love to have you back . mariah : no . devon : i still need a host , mariah . mariah : no again . devon : no more live shows and no more red carpets . mariah : [ sighs ] let me try this one more time . no . why have n't you hired hilary back ? devon : well , because i 'm not gon na do that , and i just -- i ca n't , especially after the lecture i just got from lily . mariah : [ chuckles ] i bet she is so happy that you 're on the outs with hilary . let me guess . balloons , skywriting ? devon : [ chuckles ] no , she 's keeping it low key , but she is right that we ca n't go back to the old , sleazy ways of gc buzz . mariah : yeah , but lily is your sister . hilary 's your wife , and she 's probably making your life hell right now . devon : no , what 's hell right now is that we 're airing reruns . mariah : on a gossip show ? how does that work ? devon : that 's exactly my point . and it 's why i really need you to come back , okay ? and let me tell you , it does n't have to be long - term . mariah : that 's what you said last time . and one episode was more than enough . way more . devon : how about this ? if you help me out until i find a replacement , after everything 's over , i will make you a segment producer . mariah : no more getting coffee or delivering files ? devon : nope . and a generous bump in pay . how 's that sound ? nikki : darling , you 're talking about retiring , but that certainly would n't be now . nick : yeah , dad . some distant date in the future is not gon na prevent us from butting heads at the office . victor : no , i 'm talking about now . you know , maybe take a step back from running the company and devote some more time to your beautiful mother and to the grandchildren . nick : are you buying any of this ? nikki : i think he 's still in the haze of a wonderful weekend . and as much as i love new york , as i said before , we are back to reality . victor : what ? you do n't think i know my own mind ? nick : dad , you 've walked away from newman like a dozen times , but then you always come back . then when you do , people -- and when i 'm saying people , i 'm talking about me and vick -- that we walk away or we get fired . so we could just save everyone the headache and let it go . victor : fair enough . nick : thank you . victor : but i 'm serious . i might do it . nick : that `` might `` is pretty convincing . victor : well , it will turn into `` certainly `` if i knew who was running the company . [ doorbell rings ] nikki : the baby . oh , my gosh . nick : mom , i 'm telling you , you ca n't wake that kid up . he 's fine . faith : hi , grandma ! nikki : hi , sweetheart ! ooh , look at you all dressed up for your lesson . you look adorable . sharon , come on in . sharon : she needs to stay hydrated . nikki : well , you know , we have water here . and we can take her home when she 's finished with her lesson , so you do n't need to come back . faith : ooh , christian 's here . nick : hey , beautiful . faith : i 'm wearing different pants . nick : i see that . faith : [ chuckles ] hi , grandpa . victor : hi , sweetheart . hi , my sweetheart . ooh , yeah . so ... sharon : i did not know that you and christian would be here . nikki : well , they are , so excuse us . sharon : well , wait a minute . i need to talk to nick about faith 's christmas show . um , do you need me to drive her to school , or do you need help with her costume ? because i 'd be happy to help . nick : i got it covered . ride , costume . we 're all good . nikki : there you have it , sharon . everything is fine . i 'll show you the door . sharon : i know the way . nikki : honestly , how brazen can you be ? faith certainly knows her way to this house . you could have had dylan bring her . i have n't seen him in a long time . sharon : there 's no need to be dramatic , nikki . he was just here the other morning . nikki : oh , well , you do n't know your husband very well , because i did n't see him . and i would like very much right now to not see you . goodbye . hilary : i really did n't think that i would need a reel so soon , but entertainment is a fast - paced business . i 'm sure i do n't need to tell you that with your client list . i 'm just so thrilled that you were able to meet with me on such short notice . barry : jack and i go way back . i owe him one . hilary : well , i hope that this is n't gon na be a complete waste of your time , mr. strickler . barry : oh , please . call me barry . you know , you have great on - camera presence . it 's magnetic . hilary : oh , well , thank you . you know , that 's what i was telling jack that this is where i feel the most at home . the audience , they really feel like my friend . and i wrote my own copy on every episode . barry : it 's a selling point . hilary : i think it makes it more organic and personal . barry : so , why did you leave gc buzz , your husband 's show ? what went wrong ? hilary : truthfully ? barry : yeah . hilary : nothing . yeah , there 's no conflict at all . but i did hear the word `` nepotism `` being thrown around a lot , so i thought that it would be smarter to move on , show that i 'm willing to do the work to make it in this business on my own , pay my dues , to an extent , of course . barry : and where does your contract with gc buzz stand now ? hilary : i have none . barry : no contract ? hilary : well , except for a marriage contract . [ chuckles ] but other than that , i am completely free to pursue other opportunities . so , tell me honestly . do you really think that i have what it takes ? barry : you 're green . but you 're smart . the camera loves you , and you have drive . there are places that would jump at someone like you . hilary : jump ? so i would have options ? barry : plenty of them . hilary : that is fantastic . thank you . i - i really needed to hear this . and , you know , there is someone else who needs to hear it , too . mariah : actually , could you , uh , hold off on that for a second ? i just need a minute . thanks . devon : all right . the red carpet is on its way out . no more runways ever . mariah : yeah , great . no more me , either . i ca n't do this . i ca n't host the show , devon . dylan : hey , you okay ? you sounded a little rattled on the phone . sharon : oh , i did n't mean to worry you . i just wanted to talk . dylan : okay . i 'm here . what 's up ? sharon : well , um , i went up to the main house to drop off faith . nick was there with christian . dylan : did he give you a hard time about being around the baby ? sharon : no , it was n't that . nick was civil . and christian was sleeping in his stroller . dylan : how 'd he look ? sharon : perfect . dylan : so what upset you ? sharon : well , nikki decided to lecture me basically about everything , and she happened to mention that she did n't see you the other day when you went up to the main house . how is that possible ? did you not go ? dylan : um , no , i went . sharon : was nikki not there ? dylan : she was . sharon : okay , can you explain what happened , dylan , please ? you went to the main house to thank nikki for all of her support and ... ? dylan : and , uh , nothing . i mean , nick was already there . they were having a big , cheerful family hug like they were celebrating that nick got his son . and i got nothing . and nikki was with him , and honestly , it kind of hurt . and i could n't knock on the door and i could n't face them . sharon : dylan . look , you know nikki 's not my favorite person in the world at all , but she does love you , and that 's very real . dylan : i 'm not one of her kids , really . you know what i 'm saying . i did n't -- i did n't grow up with her . i know she cares about me , but when push comes to shove , she 's a newman and i 'm not . and that makes all the difference . lily : so , the caterer made sure there are a few vegan options . jack : sounds good . lily : and then i also feel horrible that we could n't host the benefit , so i came up with some suggestions for decor , which are right here . now , this will work at whatever venue you end up using . and i 'm also waiting for the final cut of the video of the foundation 's accomplishments . jack ? jack : huh ? lily : if you 're preoccupied , i can come back . jack : no , no , no , i 'm sorry . family business . lily : oh . uh , jabot family business or family business ? jack : sometimes family and business are one and the same . lily : oh , yeah . i have seen that up close . sometimes it 's great . jack : and other times ? lily : ugly does n't even begin to cover it . jack : is n't that the truth . devon : the other day was not a normal day , okay ? it was a live show . there was a runway . and it was your first time hosting , which you pulled off like a champ . mariah : it 's not me , devon . it 's not what i want . you want somebody who can come in here and stand in front of the camera day in and day out and look at it as a fun , exciting challenge , not a pathway to humiliation . i 'm out . for real . hilary : hello , beautiful people . ugh . mariah . poor thing . are you okay ? mariah : it 's weird . you know , i keep telling people that i prefer my face this way . yeah , i think it adds character . hilary : well , that 's the spirit . and you have tons of character . loads . mariah : i also have a promotion . segment producer . hilary : oh . well , that 's good . congratulations . you must be very pleased . devon : honey , um , do you mind if we have a word for a minute ? hilary : yeah , yeah , of course . but , um , mariah , you might still have time to put some ice on that , because no one needs that much character . sharon : you 're not alone , dylan . you 're never going to be alone . you 've got me . you 've got paul . mariah loves you . faith -- she thinks you hung the moon . remember when you two got to know each other and you gave her that little tool belt and she shadowed you forever after that ? dylan : yeah , i 'll always be grateful for that . maybe i just expect too much from nikki . i mean , terry and penelope were the parents that i knew most of my life , and most people only get one set of parents . sharon : well , you 're not most people . and nikki does love you . dylan : yeah , i know , but nick and victoria are her priority , and that 's okay . i mean , that 's the truth . but i have my own family . and i know how lucky i am . sharon : we are lucky in our own way . dylan : so we just move on together . you know , we do n't -- we do n't have sully , but there 's a whole world of things to focus on out there . sharon : and we will do that . dylan : yeah , we will . faith : jingle bells , jingle bells , jingle all the way oh , what fun it is to ride in a one - horse open sleigh all : hey ! faith : jingle bells , jingle bells , jingle all the way oh , what fun it is to ride in a one - horse open sleigh hey ! victor : hey ! faith : [ chuckles ] nick : look at that . victor : what a beautiful voice you 've got . nick : you crushed that . victor : you have a wonderful voice . faith : thanks . nikki : [ chuckles ] victor : come here . that 's so sweet . my god . faith : grandpa ? victor : yes ? faith : is it okay if we skip my riding lesson ? it 's so cold out there and cozy in here and christmas - y . victor : oh ... nick : i mean , she is working you . victor : well , i know , and i love it . yes , we 'll stay inside , okay ? faith : yay ! victor : shall we do that ? come here . so ... faith : ooh ! victor : oh , my goodness . faith : oh ! victor : oh , my goodness . faith : what 's in this one ? victor : i do n't know . nikki : look at him . other people look at him , they see a mogul . i look at him and i see a man who turns into mush with his grandchildren . nick : mush ? has he ever heard you call him that ? nikki : mnh - mnh . that 's our secret . but i am right , are n't i ? faith : grandpa , what was your best present ever ? when you were a kid , i mean . victor : well , you know , when i was a kid , i did n't get any presents . faith : what ? victor : yeah . faith : but everybody gets presents . victor : well , no , not everybody . you know , some kids grew up in an orphanage , which i did . we had no presents . faith : like orphan annie from the play ? victor : yeah . you know , my mother was so poor that she -- yeah -- had to leave me at that orphanage so that i would have a place to sleep and to eat , you know . faith : and you waited for her to come back , but she did n't ? victor : oh , well , it took many , many years for her to come back . you know , we had one last christmas before she passed . faith : it was like a christmas miracle . victor : yes , my sweetheart , it was . you know , the last christmas i spent with her , the only christmas i spent with her , it was very nice . it was the best present i could ever give her . devon : i bought this place for you . hilary : yes . and then you fired me . devon : well , because the result was n't what we agreed on . hilary : the show evolved , devon . devon : it did not evolve at all . it actually stayed the same , and it was petty and it was mean . hilary : so now i 'm petty and i 'm mean . okay . devon : no , you are not , okay ? i think you just got caught up in the rush of trying to put a new show on air every single day , and i understand that . that 's what happens in the media . it 's about the competition of finding the best story , and you wanted to keep up . i get it . hilary : you do ? devon : i do . which is why i think that now we 've had time to cool off , you and i can come to a compromise . hilary : seriously ? devon : i 'm very serious . but you are gon na have to be willing to change , honey . hilary : so you want me back now ? devon : if you agree to shift your tone . hilary : oh ! if i do what you say . devon : that is not what i mean . hilary : that 's exactly what you mean . devon , you are still trying to control me . devon : honey , this is not about me trying to control you at all . it 's about putting something out there that we can both be proud of . hilary : so you 're not even proud of me now . [ scoffs ] devon : it 's not you . i keep saying that . it 's not you . it 's the tone and the subject matter . hilary : both of which i bring to the show . oh , but it 's not me . [ scoffs ] devon , you are tying yourself in knots trying not to offend me . here 's a little bit of advice . it 's not working . devon : okay , hey , i 'm just trying to do whatever i can to make this work . hilary : so you -- you want me back now . [ cell phone rings ] hilary : oh , you should take that . devon : we need to finish this conversation . hilary : oh , no , no . i can wait . devon : hello . devon hamilton . barry : devon , barry strickler . i represent hilary curtis . devon : excuse me ? barry : i 'm her agent . devon : you are hilary curtis ' agent ? since when ? barry : very recent . honestly , i wish i 'd gotten to her sooner . now , i understand you 've released her from the show . i just want to confirm that there are no lingering obligations , because offers are coming in and we 're gon na have to pounce asap . sharon : still ca n't get over how quiet it is . and i have got to stop saying that . dylan : it is the truth . [ sighs ] it 's , uh , way too quiet . sharon : no sully . faith is spending most of her time with nick . dylan : and meanwhile you 're bargaining for more time with her . i 'm worried that nick 's gon na shut you out completely , and i do n't really think that 's fair . sharon : nick and i have had visitation issues with faith her entire life . that 's just the way that it is . dylan : yeah , but the difference is she 's your own daughter . sharon : she 's our daughter . she 's part of this family , too , this family that we created . and that 's not gon na change . nikki : can you believe your father opening up to faith like that ? imagine that happening 10 years ago , even 5 years ago . nick : has he been talking about that a lot lately , his mom , the orphanage ? nikki : these things are clearly on his mind . so when your father is considering leaving newman , i think we need to take his word on that . nick : and you did n't plant the seed ? nikki : mnh - mnh . i know better than that . anytime i try to influence him at the office , he digs his heels in and it backfires on me . no , he has to make the right decision for himself , but i pray . oh , how i pray . victor : come here . faith : i love you , grandpa . victor : you make me happy , my sweetheart . very happy . [ next_on ] ashley : ohh ! farrah : are you kidding me ? ! ashley : i am so sorry . cane : jack 's the one who signed the lease . he ca n't just rip it up on a whim ! victoria : it 's not a whim . it was cold and it was calculated . billy : you 're gon na pretend this has anything to do with business ? it does n't . i 'm not letting you get away with it .Summarize.[/INST]mariah tells devon that she does n't want to be the temporary host of gc buzz , because she likes working behind the scenes , so devon gives her a promotion to segment producer along with a raise . hilary tells jack that she loved doing the show , because she felt like she had found herself when she was on camera . jack puts hilary in touch with an agent barry strickler who tells her that even though she does n't have much experience , she has raw talent and he feels she could get a job anywhere . hilary asks barry to call devon and tell him she has a lot of other job offers . mariah suspects that faith is right about someone sabotaging her and causing her to fall during the fashion show . she suspects that person to be hilary . dylan admits to sharon that he did n't go to thank nikki for her support during the custody hearing , because he was about to knock the door when he saw nikki with nick and christian , and he realized that nick and victoria will always be nikki 's priority and he will never be a newman . victor asks nick to come back to work at newman enterprises and let noah run underground . victor admits that he is considering stepping back from the company , but he needs someone he trusts to run it . victor also tells faith that he grew up in an orphanage and that his mother was too poor to take care of him . victor also shares with faith that he never got presents at the orphanage and that the best present he ever got was when he got to spend his one and only christmas with his mother before she died . nick and nikki are both touched by the fact that victor shared such a personal memory with faith .</s> | 1,782 |

[ scene_break ] finn : excuse me . dr. obrecht : watch where you 're going ! what happened ? what 's wrong ? tracy : obrecht is trying to foist me off on dr. mayes . finn : and ... ? tracy : and you 're my doctor . i want you to treat me . finn : so there 's no emergency ? no change in condition ? your message seemed to imply that the patient was in trouble . tracy : and you came right over . finn : mm - hmm . tracy : wow , a doctor that responds to his patient 's needs . i knew i liked this doctor . monica : [ sighs ] i 'm -- i 'm sorry about the summons , but we 're all a little wary of dr. mayes . finn : i would be , too , if i were you . tracy : thank you . finally , a rational response . finn : well , since i 'm here , how are you feeling ? any issues with the meds ? tracy : not yet . whatever you prescribed seems to be working . finn : that 's good . we 'll reconvene when the medication has run its course . by that time , the status of my work conditions here should be resolved . monica : and again , i apologize for dr. obrecht 's lack of speed in getting your credentials accepted . tracy : yeah , well , let 's just forget about dr. obrecht . by the time she finishes dithering with the paperwork , i 'll be cured and released . finn : where did you get that idea ? tracy : from you . finn : i never told you this treatment would cure you . this treatment has been known to work in many cases , but not all . dillon : and the rest ? finn : the rest do n't make it . [ scene_break ] ava : delia , i 'll call you later . paul : it 's been a long time , ava . ava : not long enough , paul . paul : you have n't missed me ? ava : not in the slightest . i have to get back to my daughter . she 's still recovering from the bullet she took during your big undercover sting . paul : i understand your anger . is there anything i can do to make it better ? ava : you can give me the recording where i talk about shooting connie . paul : do you really want to hear how many ways that 's not possible ? ava : then take a hike . paul : ava , wait . you 're being unreasonable . ava : you 're being obtuse . i want nothing to do with you . paul : well , i suggest you reconsider . we need to renew our mutually beneficial arrangement . ava : you do n't understand . it 's because of you that i 've got a target on my back . [ scene_break ] sam : did you just ask me out on a date ? jason : i sure did . sam : [ chuckles ] jason : i did . sam : okay , well , when -- when did you want to go ? jason : we can go tonight . we can take danny to monica 's . i 'll take you for a drink . we can play pool . we can do anything you want to do . sam : oh , yeah , all those things sound really lovely . i ca n't . i 'm in the middle of a case . jason : this client , what , he 's paying you around the clock ? sam : no , actually , he is n't paying me anything . he asked me to let it go . i just ca n't . jason : hmm . why ca n't you ? sam : there 's some things that just do n't add up . jason : professional curiosity . sam : it 's personal , too . [ scene_break ] hayden : nikolas , i 'm not a stranger . nikolas : no . no . hayden : you know me better than i know myself sometimes . nikolas : you -- you played me ! you took advantage of me , just like you did all those people . hayden : no . please , you have to understand i 'm still the same woman that you married . nikolas : really ? really ? no , no , i married hayden barnes , not ... r - r - rachel berlin , or whatever -- whatever . hayden : rachel berlin meant nothing to you before . why should she matter to you now ? nikolas : she matters because you lied about yourself over and over again . all you had to do was be truthful to me . if you 're lying about this , what -- what the hell else are you lying about ? hayden : i swear on all that i am , this is it -- just this one thing . nikolas : this one thing is everything to me ! how can you say that ? hayden : how can you say that ? i mean , you 're a cassadine . you of all people should understand why i wanted to escape my past . nikolas : but ... that 's a fantasy . do n't you get it ? no matter how far you go , no matter how far you run , no matter how deep you bury all of your secrets , you can never escape your past ! [ scene_break ] laura : hayden is rachel berlin ? wait a minute , why do i know that name ? elizabeth : her father is raymond berlin . he ran a ponzi scheme for years . his clients lost billions of dollars . laura : oh , my god . i remember . yeah . and supposedly , there 's still some money that 's unaccounted for . elizabeth : and the theory is that rachel took it and ran away , which explains her life here as hayden barnes . and now it 's perfect obvious why she was after nikolas . she was just looking for another payday . laura : ohh . you know , it may be obvious to us , but unfortunately for nikolas , it may not be so clear - cut . elizabeth : what do you mean ? ! she -- no , she 's lied over and over again . laura : i know , but he has convinced himself that he 's in love with her . elizabeth : enough to ignore that hayden -- or rachel -- has been playing him for a fool ? laura : maybe . oh , i do n't know . my son is a very proud man , and he 's had to ask for forgiveness for himself . so ... elizabeth : well , she does n't deserve forgiveness . it 's time that woman is dealt with the only way she understands . laura : what do you mean by that ? elizabeth : well , i 'm sure the police would love to know the whereabouts of rachel berlin . laura : you ca n't involve the police . keep in mind that whatever hayden has done to him , he 's done far worse to her . [ scene_break ] ava : from the moment you filed my immunity deal , i was marked as a rat . my people do n't like rats . paul : [ sighs ] that immunity deal was the quickest way to cover up your involvement . it was never my intention to bring any harm to you . has there been an attempt on your life ? ava : no , but the message has been sent . it 's only a matter of time before they act . paul : well , let me arrange for a security detail . i can have eyes on you 24 - 7 . ava : [ scoffs ] no ! absolutely not . the last thing i need right now is further association with you and your office . you just leave me alone ! i have it under control . paul : no , you do n't . ava : let me go . paul : i ca n't . and i do n't think you really want me to . [ scene_break ] jason : so , this personal case you 're working on , could it have anything to do with nikolas ? sam : you 're good . jason : it does n't take that much to figure out . i saw you two talking in boston . look , this is n't a criticism , but , um -- sam : why would i do anything for nikolas after everything he 's done to us ? jason : yeah . sam : it 's complicated . nikolas is n't the only one who stands to get hurt . spencer 's involved , and he 's just a kid . and i - i mainly took this on for his sake . that -- that -- that 's really all i can say about that . jason : right . client confidentiality . sam : well , the rules would not apply if i made you a partner . jason : hmm . sam : now , how does that sound for a first date ? jason : oh , it sounds like a lot of fun , and i would be all over it if the client was anyone else besides nikolas . sam : okay . well , the offer 's on the table , so why do n't you just think about it ? jason : i 'll think about it . sam : it 's getting late . it 's time to go to grandma 's . do you want to go ? danny : yes . will alice be there ? sam : yes , she will . jason : [ chuckles ] sam : let 's get all this stuff picked up . i bet you alice is gon na be there waiting with some milk and cookies just for you . jason : all right , all right , we got all our stuff ? sam : hey , i f -- i forgot to ask . how are things going with you and monica ? jason : uh , it 's going good , you know , from what i understand . that was n't always the case , but it 's going good . [ chuckles ] sam : well , you and monica always did fine . you and the rest of the quartermaines ... not so much . jason : huh . [ scene_break ] tracy : my condition could be fatal ? why did n't you tell me that from day one ? finn : i apologize if i misled you in any way . that 's not how i want to be practicing medicine . tracy : no , you just like to save the truth for the final act . dillon : mom , you 're not gon na die , right ? finn : you should know for those afflicted in less developed countries , this can be a death sentence . monica : but here in the united states , we 're much better equipped to treat the condition . finn : correct ... if it 's caught early enough . tracy : and in my case ... ? finn : we 're cutting it close . the bug has matured , therefore it 's much harder to kill . tracy : [ sighs ] i wasted so much time with mayes . finn : know that in a weaker patient , medication would n't even be an option . we 'd be talking about surgery , and that 's always dicey . but i do n't think that 's the issue here . my patient strikes me as anything but weak . dillon : anything but . monica : yes , to refer to tracy as formidable would be an understatement . finn : i assumed so . [ chuckles ] i just thought i needed to apprise you of the worst - case scenario . i 'd be remiss not to do so . [ scene_break ] elizabeth : we can still turn hayden in to the police . she does n't know nikolas was behind her shooting . laura : no , we ca n't do that because once hayden 's real identity comes out , the police may want to re - open the investigation about her shooting . and who knows what evidence that could lead them to and where that might take them ? elizabeth : so , what are we gon na do , just sit back and -- and let her manipulate nikolas all over again ? laura : look , i do n't like this situation any more than you do , but it is n't up to us . it 's up to nikolas . elizabeth : [ sighs ] he 's got to realize he 's better off without hayden . laura : and nikolas may not see it that way . but it is his decision . and we have to respect that . elizabeth : [ sighs ] [ scene_break ] hayden : you 're right . i should have listened to my heart and trusted you . but i was so afraid that the truth would be too much for you to handle , and i would lose you . i 'm sorry . i made a mistake . nikolas : [ scoffs ] yeah . well , my mistake was believing you when you 've been working to take everything i 've been trying to build for myself and my son ! hayden : i would never do anything to hurt spencer . nikolas : how -- how can i trust you when you 've been wearing a mask this entire time ? you tell me ! hayden : you know what ? that 's really rich coming from you when you did the exact same thing to your own family . nikolas : what the -- what are you talking about now ? hayden : you lied to sam for months . you never let on that her husband , the father of her son , was not only alive , but he was right under her nose and right on top of elizabeth . nikolas : i was trying to protect elizabeth , thank you very much . hayden : no , you were trying to protect your bank account . you were just trying to hold on to elq . what we did was wrong , but what you did was worse , because you acted out of greed . i 'm just trying to have a fresh start , and yet here you stand , judging me , as if you 're any different , as if you have n't done it , too , as if you 're not lying to me right now . [ scene_break ] paul : take the protection , please . ava : i 'm not gon na rely on you , paul . we worked well when things were simpler when you were just the corrupt da , and i was in your thrall . but it turns out you 're not who i thought you were . paul : then let 's adjust to the new reality . get to know each other all over again . ava : if i live to see tomorrow . paul : you 're ava jerome . you 'll survive . ava : you 're damn right i will . my focus has changed . my priorities are clear . my daughters need me , and i need them ... much more than i need you . paul : [ breathes deeply ] [ scene_break ] tracy : i appreciate your honesty . it makes you more impressive . dillon : [ clears throat ] uh , do n't you think you should maybe thank aunt monica for calling dr. finn in the first place ? tracy : i already did . finn : try to rest . the medication is working , but your body is still vulnerable to symptoms till the regimen is completed , understood ? tracy : i will do as the doctor orders . finn : thank you . monica : i 'll walk you out , dr. finn . finn : thanks . dillon : okay . yeah . now it 's time for me to get revenge . and do not think that i 'm gon na go easy on you just because of this life - threatening condition . [ scene_break ] monica : well , i have to apologize for my sister - in - law 's lack of tact . finn : i came to port charles to treat tracy . this is treating tracy . monica : [ chuckles ] i guess so . dr. obrecht : that 's just what i wanted to discuss with you , dr. finn , if you 'll come with me . finn : and if i wo n't ? i 'm kidding . got to lighten up , lady .

[ chuckles ] maybe you 'd want to take a turn . jason : you want me to see tracy ? monica : oh , no . oh , come on . i 'm kidding . listen , tracy is awful to you on a good day . jason : okay , but , i mean , if you want me to , i 'd be happy to do it .

[ scene_break ] nikolas : so , what did i supposedly lie to you about ? hayden : you 're avoiding the question . are you going to claim that you 've been completely honest , that there 's nothing pertinent to our relationship , our marriage that i ought to know ? nikolas : no , no , no , no , no . see , you 're the one who lied to me . you brought this on us for months . all i heard was , `` oh , do n't listen to hayden . do n't listen to hayden . `` but i did n't listen , so i guess i brought that on myself , did n't i ? hayden : oh , so just like that , elizabeth tells you something , and our marriage is over ? nikolas : this has nothing to do with elizabeth ! hayden : like hell it does n't ! so do n't even go there ! like hell it does n't ! that woman has had it in for me since day one , but of course , you 'll believe her before you believe your own wife . nikolas : my wife does n't trust me ! hayden : where are you going ? nikolas : to the metro court . i need to , uh , clear my head , figure some things out . hayden : for how long ? nikolas : spencer 's on his spring break . he wo n't be back for a few days . but i need to figure this out before he gets back . hayden : please , do n't go . please , just stay and talk to me . nikolas : no . i ca n't , hayden ... or rachel . or whatever .

[ scene_break ] elizabeth : where 's nikolas ? hayden : gone . you must be disappointed . i know you wanted a front - row seat to the show . let me tell you how it went . i told my husband the truth . i begged for forgiveness . nikolas pretended to listen . he let me grovel , and then he walked out that door , and he did n't look back . elizabeth : so i 'm guessing you want to be by yourself right now . i 'll just catch up with nikolas later . hayden : do n't even think about it . elizabeth : do n't touch me . hayden : you 're not going anywhere , you brittle bitch ! [ scene_break ] paul : how is kiki doing ? ava : she 's getting better all the time . we 're still waiting to see if there 's long - term damage . paul : should you need anything regarding her care , be it a specialist or whatnot , please do n't hesitate to call . i - i , uh -- i 'm pretty well - connected at this hospital . ava : you know , i ... i actually believe that you 're being sincere . but , no , i 'll take care of kiki , thank you . i think you should focus on your own family . dillon 's mother , from what i hear , is very ill . i 'm sure he could use your support . [ scene_break ] dr. obrecht : hr has yet to complete the vetting process . until they do , i must ask that you remove yourself as mrs. quartermaine 's primary physician . my staff is more than capable of handling her case now that we have a full diagnosis . finn : let me make this easy for you . mrs. quartermaine wants me as her doctor . so her doctor i shall be . dr. obrecht : [ scoffs ] and if i do n't agree ? finn : the state licensing board will learn about how dr. mayes recklessly cut open a patient 's head . and i 'll be more than happy to testify about the willful disregard for patient care when this hospital 's accreditation comes up for review . dr. obrecht : you would n't dare . finn : try me .

[ scene_break ] elizabeth : is this when you call me all the names in the book so that you can feel better about yourself ? hayden : so , you 're familiar with this moment ? i should n't be surprised , considering what a home - wrecker you are . elizabeth : is that the best you can do ? hayden : no , no , i 'm just getting started . you ca n't stand not controlling all the men in your life -- jason , nikolas , lucky . i 've heard the stories . you 'll do anything and everything to take over their lives and destroy their hopes of happiness with anyone that is n't you . i 'm sure sam would agree . elizabeth : venting at me is not going to bring nikolas back to you . the only way that could happen is if the two of you actually shared a real love , but there was never any of that to begin with , rachel . hayden : you do n't know the first thing about what nikolas and i share . elizabeth : [ laughs ] please . i have forgotten more about nikolas than you could ever remember . hayden : [ laughs ] here we go . you 're gon na remind me of how you and nikolas are childhood friends , and you 're bffs till the end . elizabeth : i do know this -- i know that nikolas has only truly loved one woman , and she was generous and kind , inspired him to be a hero . he knows that he can never replace her , but he keeps searching . and all he keeps finding are britts and haydens -- warm bodies to keep him company until the right girl comes along to bring him back to life . that 's all you are , hayden . no , excuse me . that 's all you were , rachel -- a placeholder . [ scene_break ] sam : what 's going on ? nikolas : i need you back on the hayden case . come in . sam : okay , is this why i 'm meeting you here and not wyndemere ? nikolas : yep . sam : what made you change your mind ? nikolas : well , she 's been lying to me . to begin with , her name is n't hayden barnes . sam : oh , so baxter corbin was right . her name is rachel . nikolas : rachel berlin . sam : raymond berlin 's daughter ? the one who got away with all that money that was never found ? [ inhales deeply ] okay , wait a minute . this makes a lot of sense . so rachel changes her name to hayden , moves to a place where no one knows her . nikolas : and ... sam : oh . nikolas : now she can find someone else to swindle . sam : nikolas , i am so sorry . nikolas : she swears that she was n't trying to con me . and looking back , you know , i - i - i was the one who originally pursued her . sam : okay , well , do you think she 's telling the truth ? nikolas : i do n't know . sam : or do you think she 's after your money ? nikolas : i have no idea . that 's why i need you to dig deeper . i need to know everything about hayden . sam : okay . nikolas : and rachel . sam : from what i remember , rachel was suspected of conspiring with her father . okay , so , all you need to do is go to the police , and they 'll complete an investigation . nikolas : no , no , no , no , no . sam : you 'll get the answers that you want . nikolas : i do n't want the police anywhere near hayden . sam : why not ? [ scene_break ] scott : so , what do you think helena has to do with any of this ? laura : well , the key that she left me in her will -- i found the lock that it opens , and it was on a trunk that happened to be up in the attic of wyndemere . i opened it up . there was nothing in there except for this book . now , can you tell me how helena cassadine could have gotten this ? scott : well , i do n't know . you know , after we fell apart , i did n't really want to look at the books anymore . so i -- i sold them . laura : oh , yeah , i understand . scott : but , you know , how helena cassadine would have gotten her hands on the -- this particular book -- the one that i - i - i signed my name , i mean , i - i - i wish i could tell you how . laura : well , she did say that her bequest would bring me to something that i had loved and lost , i -- whatever that means . scott : wait a minute . it 's right in front of you . y - you 've cracked the riddle . i 'm the solution . so you 're -- you 're saying something that you loved and something that you lost . well , you -- you loved me , and you lost me . so ... case closed . laura : i think if we had a chance together , we would have found our way back to each other without any help from helena . scott : we had our big dance , did n't we , huh ? laura : yeah . scott : our chance . laura : more than one . scott : so , forget about me . let 's get back to this riddle . something loved , something lost . i do n't know . i ca n't come up with anything . laura : you know , you might know more than you think . here , just take a look . uh , okay . see how all of these letters have been circled , right ? scott : yeah . laura : did you do that ? scott : no , i would n't have done that . i ... cherished these books . laura : i think helena did it . send me some sort of a message . scott : circle letters . what -- what kind of a message would that be ? laura : maybe it 's some kind of code . scott : well , if there 's anybody that can crack the code , it 's you . [ scene_break ] dr. obrecht : you would n't see an entire hospital shut down , because of one mistake with one patient . finn : one mistake could have left tracy brain - damaged . mayes cracked open her skull for a needless biopsy when the truth of her condition was right there in the mri for anyone to see ! dr. munro saw it , and mayes shouted him down ! dr. obrecht : dr. finn , watch your tone . finn : and if you and your roaming pack of idiots failed tracy quartermaine , how many more patients in this hospital have you failed to doctor ? ! dr. obrecht : it was an isolated incident , dr. finn ! i can assure you this facility is not in the practice of making mistakes . finn : [ breathing heavily ] now i 'm back to my hotel room . when i return in the morning to check on my patient , i expect the full cooperation of you and your staff .

[ scene_break ] finn : [ sighs ] [ sniffs ] [ breathing shakily ] [ sighs ] [ scene_break ] dillon : okay , sorry for the delay . i had to take a phone call from paris , and you would not believe how touchy these designers get about their lighting . jason : dillon . could you get a nurse or a doctor or somebody in here , please ? dillon : yeah , what 's wrong ? jason : we 're just having a little confusion . tracy : i 'll say there is . daddy does n't think i can get elq back to the quartermaines . you know differently . do n't you , dear ? dillon : okay , mom , it 's gon na be okay . tracy : i know it 's gon na be okay . everything 's in motion . dillon : what is she talking about ? jason : i do n't know . she mentioned something about a rachel . tracy : i sure did . she is the weapon i am aiming directly at nikolas . jason : okay . so , who 's rachel ? sam : rachel berlin ? tracy : yep . sam : or , as you and i know her , hayden barnes . [ scene_break ] elizabeth : you keep insisting that i want nikolas all for myself , but it 's simply not true . hayden : [ scoffs ] like hell it 's not . elizabeth : he is my best friend . that is it . you just ca n't stand to admit that you lost him all on your own . and the sad thing is the marriage might have worked . i mean , it would n't have been a relationship for the ages , but obviously , nikolas saw something worthwhile in you . too bad you blew it before you started , because you 're basically incapable of honesty . hayden : says the lying skank with three different children by three different fathers . elizabeth : [ sighs ] you 're vile . hayden : deny it all you want , but that 's exactly why you slithered between me and nikolas . you ca n't stand to be alone . jason ditched you , and so has every other man who is n't dead or crossed an ocean to get away from you . the only man you had a chance with was nikolas , but he was already taken . not like a little thing like marriage would get in the way . but it 's too bad , because it 's not gon na work , no matter how fast you swoop in . i am not stepping aside . so find someone else to help you add to your collection of bastards ! [ gasps when elizabeth slaps her ] elizabeth : [ sighs ] [ next_on ] sam ( to jason ) : why is this so important to you ? elizabeth ( to hayden ) : i ca n't wait until nikolas throws your lying ass out of here . dillon ( to tracy ) : how are you feeling ? scott ( to ava ) : what exactly do you think i can do for you ? sonny ( to anna ) : in other words , i 'm gon na get justice for duke . jordan : i - i 'm sorry . i 'm just really scared . | tracy demands that dr. obrecht stop preventing her from giving finn access to her case , expressing he 's the only doctor she 's seen who knows what he 's talking about . when obrecht intimidates the new doctor and questions his competence , he firmly reminds her that she authorized mayes to do an unnecessary surgery involving cracking a patient 's skull open for a false diagnosis of cancer , which could have left tracy permanently brain damaged for nothing . she does not prevent finn from having his way at that point but remarks that everyone 's `` confidence `` in finn may not be validated . finn is alone in his hotel room injecting a needle into his veins . nikolas declares that any `` love `` or trust he previously ever had for hayden is null and void now that he knows hayden barnes does not exist and the woman he married is actually rachel berlin , unknown to him all this while . she protests but he seems to have decided he 's done with her for good . he calls sam to resume investigating and bringing his wife down . hayden/ rachel continues to remind elizabeth what a low life she is . yet elizabeth is confident that hayden / rachel will soon be out of nikolas ' life and out of her way for good . laura meets with scott baldwin hoping to shed some light on the mystery of the key found in a crate that says nikolas ' will and the mysterious law book she recognized from when she and scott were together many years ago . she knows she has to crack the code of the mysterious symbols one way or another . ava declares to paul that she knows she can not trust him with his most recent action and she will handle things herself . she goes to talk to scott and has him represent her legal interests . | <s>[INST] tracy : i want to see dr. finn immediately . that 's not a request . dr. obrecht : dr. mayes is perfect capable of following dr. finn 's regimen . tracy : that incompetent buffoon diagnosed me with cancer that i did n't have ! monica : tracy , stop . tracy : i want finn ! he is the only person here that has his head screwed on straight . [ scene_break ] [ cell phone ringing ] finn : roxy , what did i just say about respecting the practice ? [ ringing continues ] finn : when will i answer ? when enlightenment sets in . or boredom . whichever comes first . [ scene_break ] dillon : dr. finn , uh , this is dillon quartermaine . my mother needs to see you , and she says that it 's urgent . we were hoping that you could come to the hospital tonight , please . thank you . monica : no answer , hmm ? dillon : no , i left a voicemail . hopefully he will come tonight at some point . dr. obrecht : until dr. finn is fully vetted , i can not expose the hospital to liability for allowing him to practice here . tracy : it 's finn , or you risk a certain board member walking out of her own hospital . dr. obrecht : you 're making this very difficult . monica : well , perhaps being chief of staff does n't really suit you , dr. obrecht . dr. obrecht : do n't get any ideas , quartermaine . this is still my hospital . my first priority is our patients . tracy : fine . then get this patient what she wants . get me my doctor ! [ scene_break ] ava : yes , delia , kiki did get the flowers . and they 're lovely . thank you very much . uh , no . no , do not come here now . i 'm not trying to keep you away from your grandchildren . it 's just that things are n't safe right now . no , no , not from sonny . from someone else . [ scene_break ] jason : thanks for having dinner . sam : yeah , it was fun . yeah . [ chuckles ] a little domestic for our first [ whispering ] date . jason : what are you talking about ? you said i could n't ask you out until after our divorce papers were finalized . sam : yeah , i mean , i know my mother took care of that . jason : oh , really ? she did ? sam : mm . jason : okay , then , what are we waiting on ? [ scene_break ] laura : i am going to figure this thing out , helena . and then i 'll be done with you . elizabeth : hello ? is anyone up here ? laura : elizabeth ? hey . elizabeth : hey . fancy meeting you here . laura : yeah . mind the mess . elizabeth : i heard noises . what are you doing up here ? laura : i 'm chasing ghosts . [ chuckles ] i used the key that helena gave me to open one of the trunks . elizabeth : i 'm surprised it was that easy . laura : hmm . elizabeth : did you find that book in the trunk ? laura : yeah , it 's a textbook -- one that i gave to scotty many , many years ago as a gift . elizabeth : how 'd helena get hold of it ? laura : that is what i 'm trying to figure out . elizabeth : piece of advice -- steer clear of the living room . all hell 's breaking loose down there . [ scene_break ] hayden : no matter who my father is , no matter what lies i 've told , no matter what my real name is , the one big truth here is this -- i love you , nikolas . and i know you love me , too . nikolas : how can i ? when i do n't even know who you are ... rachel . hayden : you 're angry . nikolas : [ scoffs ] hayden : and you 're hurt right now , and i understand . but that just does n't take away all the good between us , how happy we were together . nikolas : no , do not talk to me about love and happiness . all i know is that you 're not the woman that i married . you 're a stranger . [ scene_break ] finn : excuse me . dr. obrecht : watch where you 're going ! what happened ? what 's wrong ? tracy : obrecht is trying to foist me off on dr. mayes . finn : and ... ? tracy : and you 're my doctor . i want you to treat me . finn : so there 's no emergency ? no change in condition ? your message seemed to imply that the patient was in trouble . tracy : and you came right over . finn : mm - hmm . tracy : wow , a doctor that responds to his patient 's needs . i knew i liked this doctor . monica : [ sighs ] i 'm -- i 'm sorry about the summons , but we 're all a little wary of dr. mayes . finn : i would be , too , if i were you . tracy : thank you . finally , a rational response . finn : well , since i 'm here , how are you feeling ? any issues with the meds ? tracy : not yet . whatever you prescribed seems to be working . finn : that 's good . we 'll reconvene when the medication has run its course . by that time , the status of my work conditions here should be resolved . monica : and again , i apologize for dr. obrecht 's lack of speed in getting your credentials accepted . tracy : yeah , well , let 's just forget about dr. obrecht . by the time she finishes dithering with the paperwork , i 'll be cured and released . finn : where did you get that idea ? tracy : from you . finn : i never told you this treatment would cure you . this treatment has been known to work in many cases , but not all . dillon : and the rest ? finn : the rest do n't make it . [ scene_break ] ava : delia , i 'll call you later . paul : it 's been a long time , ava . ava : not long enough , paul . paul : you have n't missed me ? ava : not in the slightest . i have to get back to my daughter . she 's still recovering from the bullet she took during your big undercover sting . paul : i understand your anger . is there anything i can do to make it better ? ava : you can give me the recording where i talk about shooting connie . paul : do you really want to hear how many ways that 's not possible ? ava : then take a hike . paul : ava , wait . you 're being unreasonable . ava : you 're being obtuse . i want nothing to do with you . paul : well , i suggest you reconsider . we need to renew our mutually beneficial arrangement . ava : you do n't understand . it 's because of you that i 've got a target on my back . [ scene_break ] sam : did you just ask me out on a date ? jason : i sure did . sam : [ chuckles ] jason : i did . sam : okay , well , when -- when did you want to go ? jason : we can go tonight . we can take danny to monica 's . i 'll take you for a drink . we can play pool . we can do anything you want to do . sam : oh , yeah , all those things sound really lovely . i ca n't . i 'm in the middle of a case . jason : this client , what , he 's paying you around the clock ? sam : no , actually , he is n't paying me anything . he asked me to let it go . i just ca n't . jason : hmm . why ca n't you ? sam : there 's some things that just do n't add up . jason : professional curiosity . sam : it 's personal , too . [ scene_break ] hayden : nikolas , i 'm not a stranger . nikolas : no . no . hayden : you know me better than i know myself sometimes . nikolas : you -- you played me ! you took advantage of me , just like you did all those people . hayden : no . please , you have to understand i 'm still the same woman that you married . nikolas : really ? really ? no , no , i married hayden barnes , not ... r - r - rachel berlin , or whatever -- whatever . hayden : rachel berlin meant nothing to you before . why should she matter to you now ? nikolas : she matters because you lied about yourself over and over again . all you had to do was be truthful to me . if you 're lying about this , what -- what the hell else are you lying about ? hayden : i swear on all that i am , this is it -- just this one thing . nikolas : this one thing is everything to me ! how can you say that ? hayden : how can you say that ? i mean , you 're a cassadine . you of all people should understand why i wanted to escape my past . nikolas : but ... that 's a fantasy . do n't you get it ? no matter how far you go , no matter how far you run , no matter how deep you bury all of your secrets , you can never escape your past ! [ scene_break ] laura : hayden is rachel berlin ? wait a minute , why do i know that name ? elizabeth : her father is raymond berlin . he ran a ponzi scheme for years . his clients lost billions of dollars . laura : oh , my god . i remember . yeah . and supposedly , there 's still some money that 's unaccounted for . elizabeth : and the theory is that rachel took it and ran away , which explains her life here as hayden barnes . and now it 's perfect obvious why she was after nikolas . she was just looking for another payday . laura : ohh . you know , it may be obvious to us , but unfortunately for nikolas , it may not be so clear - cut . elizabeth : what do you mean ? ! she -- no , she 's lied over and over again . laura : i know , but he has convinced himself that he 's in love with her . elizabeth : enough to ignore that hayden -- or rachel -- has been playing him for a fool ? laura : maybe . oh , i do n't know . my son is a very proud man , and he 's had to ask for forgiveness for himself . so ... elizabeth : well , she does n't deserve forgiveness . it 's time that woman is dealt with the only way she understands . laura : what do you mean by that ? elizabeth : well , i 'm sure the police would love to know the whereabouts of rachel berlin . laura : you ca n't involve the police . keep in mind that whatever hayden has done to him , he 's done far worse to her . [ scene_break ] ava : from the moment you filed my immunity deal , i was marked as a rat . my people do n't like rats . paul : [ sighs ] that immunity deal was the quickest way to cover up your involvement . it was never my intention to bring any harm to you . has there been an attempt on your life ? ava : no , but the message has been sent . it 's only a matter of time before they act . paul : well , let me arrange for a security detail . i can have eyes on you 24 - 7 . ava : [ scoffs ] no ! absolutely not . the last thing i need right now is further association with you and your office . you just leave me alone ! i have it under control . paul : no , you do n't . ava : let me go . paul : i ca n't . and i do n't think you really want me to . [ scene_break ] jason : so , this personal case you 're working on , could it have anything to do with nikolas ? sam : you 're good . jason : it does n't take that much to figure out . i saw you two talking in boston . look , this is n't a criticism , but , um -- sam : why would i do anything for nikolas after everything he 's done to us ? jason : yeah . sam : it 's complicated . nikolas is n't the only one who stands to get hurt . spencer 's involved , and he 's just a kid . and i - i mainly took this on for his sake . that -- that -- that 's really all i can say about that . jason : right . client confidentiality . sam : well , the rules would not apply if i made you a partner . jason : hmm . sam : now , how does that sound for a first date ? jason : oh , it sounds like a lot of fun , and i would be all over it if the client was anyone else besides nikolas . sam : okay . well , the offer 's on the table , so why do n't you just think about it ? jason : i 'll think about it . sam : it 's getting late . it 's time to go to grandma 's . do you want to go ? danny : yes . will alice be there ? sam : yes , she will . jason : [ chuckles ] sam : let 's get all this stuff picked up . i bet you alice is gon na be there waiting with some milk and cookies just for you . jason : all right , all right , we got all our stuff ? sam : hey , i f -- i forgot to ask . how are things going with you and monica ? jason : uh , it 's going good , you know , from what i understand . that was n't always the case , but it 's going good . [ chuckles ] sam : well , you and monica always did fine . you and the rest of the quartermaines ... not so much . jason : huh . [ scene_break ] tracy : my condition could be fatal ? why did n't you tell me that from day one ? finn : i apologize if i misled you in any way . that 's not how i want to be practicing medicine . tracy : no , you just like to save the truth for the final act . dillon : mom , you 're not gon na die , right ? finn : you should know for those afflicted in less developed countries , this can be a death sentence . monica : but here in the united states , we 're much better equipped to treat the condition . finn : correct ... if it 's caught early enough . tracy : and in my case ... ? finn : we 're cutting it close . the bug has matured , therefore it 's much harder to kill . tracy : [ sighs ] i wasted so much time with mayes . finn : know that in a weaker patient , medication would n't even be an option . we 'd be talking about surgery , and that 's always dicey . but i do n't think that 's the issue here . my patient strikes me as anything but weak . dillon : anything but . monica : yes , to refer to tracy as formidable would be an understatement . finn : i assumed so . [ chuckles ] i just thought i needed to apprise you of the worst - case scenario . i 'd be remiss not to do so . [ scene_break ] elizabeth : we can still turn hayden in to the police . she does n't know nikolas was behind her shooting . laura : no , we ca n't do that because once hayden 's real identity comes out , the police may want to re - open the investigation about her shooting . and who knows what evidence that could lead them to and where that might take them ? elizabeth : so , what are we gon na do , just sit back and -- and let her manipulate nikolas all over again ? laura : look , i do n't like this situation any more than you do , but it is n't up to us . it 's up to nikolas . elizabeth : [ sighs ] he 's got to realize he 's better off without hayden . laura : and nikolas may not see it that way . but it is his decision . and we have to respect that . elizabeth : [ sighs ] [ scene_break ] hayden : you 're right . i should have listened to my heart and trusted you . but i was so afraid that the truth would be too much for you to handle , and i would lose you . i 'm sorry . i made a mistake . nikolas : [ scoffs ] yeah . well , my mistake was believing you when you 've been working to take everything i 've been trying to build for myself and my son ! hayden : i would never do anything to hurt spencer . nikolas : how -- how can i trust you when you 've been wearing a mask this entire time ? you tell me ! hayden : you know what ? that 's really rich coming from you when you did the exact same thing to your own family . nikolas : what the -- what are you talking about now ? hayden : you lied to sam for months . you never let on that her husband , the father of her son , was not only alive , but he was right under her nose and right on top of elizabeth . nikolas : i was trying to protect elizabeth , thank you very much . hayden : no , you were trying to protect your bank account . you were just trying to hold on to elq . what we did was wrong , but what you did was worse , because you acted out of greed . i 'm just trying to have a fresh start , and yet here you stand , judging me , as if you 're any different , as if you have n't done it , too , as if you 're not lying to me right now . [ scene_break ] paul : take the protection , please . ava : i 'm not gon na rely on you , paul . we worked well when things were simpler when you were just the corrupt da , and i was in your thrall . but it turns out you 're not who i thought you were . paul : then let 's adjust to the new reality . get to know each other all over again . ava : if i live to see tomorrow . paul : you 're ava jerome . you 'll survive . ava : you 're damn right i will . my focus has changed . my priorities are clear . my daughters need me , and i need them ... much more than i need you . paul : [ breathes deeply ] [ scene_break ] tracy : i appreciate your honesty . it makes you more impressive . dillon : [ clears throat ] uh , do n't you think you should maybe thank aunt monica for calling dr. finn in the first place ? tracy : i already did . finn : try to rest . the medication is working , but your body is still vulnerable to symptoms till the regimen is completed , understood ? tracy : i will do as the doctor orders . finn : thank you . monica : i 'll walk you out , dr. finn . finn : thanks . dillon : okay . yeah . now it 's time for me to get revenge . and do not think that i 'm gon na go easy on you just because of this life - threatening condition . [ scene_break ] monica : well , i have to apologize for my sister - in - law 's lack of tact . finn : i came to port charles to treat tracy . this is treating tracy . monica : [ chuckles ] i guess so . dr. obrecht : that 's just what i wanted to discuss with you , dr. finn , if you 'll come with me . finn : and if i wo n't ? i 'm kidding . got to lighten up , lady .

[ scene_break ] nikolas : so , what did i supposedly lie to you about ? hayden : you 're avoiding the question . are you going to claim that you 've been completely honest , that there 's nothing pertinent to our relationship , our marriage that i ought to know ? nikolas : no , no , no , no , no . see , you 're the one who lied to me . you brought this on us for months . all i heard was , `` oh , do n't listen to hayden . do n't listen to hayden . `` but i did n't listen , so i guess i brought that on myself , did n't i ? hayden : oh , so just like that , elizabeth tells you something , and our marriage is over ? nikolas : this has nothing to do with elizabeth ! hayden : like hell it does n't ! so do n't even go there ! like hell it does n't ! that woman has had it in for me since day one , but of course , you 'll believe her before you believe your own wife . nikolas : my wife does n't trust me ! hayden : where are you going ? nikolas : to the metro court . i need to , uh , clear my head , figure some things out . hayden : for how long ? nikolas : spencer 's on his spring break . he wo n't be back for a few days . but i need to figure this out before he gets back . hayden : please , do n't go . please , just stay and talk to me . nikolas : no . i ca n't , hayden ... or rachel . or whatever .

[ scene_break ] elizabeth : where 's nikolas ? hayden : gone . you must be disappointed . i know you wanted a front - row seat to the show . let me tell you how it went . i told my husband the truth . i begged for forgiveness . nikolas pretended to listen . he let me grovel , and then he walked out that door , and he did n't look back . elizabeth : so i 'm guessing you want to be by yourself right now . i 'll just catch up with nikolas later . hayden : do n't even think about it . elizabeth : do n't touch me . hayden : you 're not going anywhere , you brittle bitch !

[ scene_break ] dr. obrecht : hr has yet to complete the vetting process . until they do , i must ask that you remove yourself as mrs. quartermaine 's primary physician . my staff is more than capable of handling her case now that we have a full diagnosis . finn : let me make this easy for you . mrs. quartermaine wants me as her doctor . so her doctor i shall be . dr. obrecht : [ scoffs ] and if i do n't agree ? finn : the state licensing board will learn about how dr. mayes recklessly cut open a patient 's head . and i 'll be more than happy to testify about the willful disregard for patient care when this hospital 's accreditation comes up for review . dr. obrecht : you would n't dare . finn : try me .

[ scene_break ] elizabeth : is this when you call me all the names in the book so that you can feel better about yourself ? hayden : so , you 're familiar with this moment ? i should n't be surprised , considering what a home - wrecker you are . elizabeth : is that the best you can do ? hayden : no , no , i 'm just getting started . you ca n't stand not controlling all the men in your life -- jason , nikolas , lucky . i 've heard the stories . you 'll do anything and everything to take over their lives and destroy their hopes of happiness with anyone that is n't you . i 'm sure sam would agree . elizabeth : venting at me is not going to bring nikolas back to you . the only way that could happen is if the two of you actually shared a real love , but there was never any of that to begin with , rachel . hayden : you do n't know the first thing about what nikolas and i share . elizabeth : [ laughs ] please . i have forgotten more about nikolas than you could ever remember . hayden : [ laughs ] here we go . you 're gon na remind me of how you and nikolas are childhood friends , and you 're bffs till the end . elizabeth : i do know this -- i know that nikolas has only truly loved one woman , and she was generous and kind , inspired him to be a hero . he knows that he can never replace her , but he keeps searching . and all he keeps finding are britts and haydens -- warm bodies to keep him company until the right girl comes along to bring him back to life . that 's all you are , hayden . no , excuse me . that 's all you were , rachel -- a placeholder .

[ scene_break ] jack : you want to blame this on carly ? katie : you would have never slept with her if she did n't drag you off to montana . you think she did n't know what she was doing ? taking you to the place where you fell in love ? i 'm sure she had all the bright romantic touches -- jack : it was n't like that . katie : and did she keep reminding you that she would n't be around much longer , so you better have her while you could ? oh , god . why did i say that ? i ca n't believe i just said that . jack : you did n't mean it . i know . katie : i keep -- having these pictures in my head of sage and the boys growing up without their mother . why did i say that ? jack : you 're upset . but you 're wrong , katie . i needed to go to montana as much as she did . probably more . katie : what about the sex ? did you need that , too ? jack : it was n't like that . but i guess -- i guess it was my way of saying good - bye . katie : you 're the most honorable man i 've ever met in my entire life , and you just threw away your marriage vows ? jack : i know , and i can never make that up to you . katie : and i do n't know what you think you were saying when you had sex with carly , but it sure as hell was n't good - bye .

[ scene_break ] margo : you guys just got married . i mean , what did you have a fight ? katie : i 'm not living with my husband . i basically have n't been since we got married . is that grounds for annulment ? tom : it could be . katie : then that 's what i want . as soon as possible . can you get started on it right away ? tom : would now be soon enough ? katie : if you could . i really appreciate it , tom . tom : okay , i was headed back to the office , so i 'll set things in motion . i guess i 'll catch up with you two later . katie : thanks . i got ta to go . margo : no , sit , sit , sit . why ? katie : jack slept with carly .

[ applause ] [ scene_break ] margo : all right , well , what jack did was awful . but , i have to believe that there were extenuating circumstances . katie : carly will always be an extenuating circumstance . that 's the big problem . he 's with the woman he 's always loved , it 's just not me . margo : all right , well let 's just take the `` carly forever and ever `` aspect out of it . i mean , for a minute . katie : you ca n't . margo : just for minute . now look , carly has been part of jack 's life for a long time , and she 's , at the very least , a friend . katie : she 's a lot more than that . margo : she 's a friend . you 're his wife . but she 's dying . what are you going to do ? katie : stay with him . [ scene_break ] jack : the hardest part about this is whole thing is that i hurt her . up until now , we 've been dealing with stuff that we could n't help or change . you were sick . you needed -- you needed help , but i crossed the line . how do i live with that ? carly : i pushed you over the line . jack : no , it 's just not your fault . i do love katie . i do , but , carly , for as long as you live , we are tied to each other . carly : i 've always believed that . jack : i just wish it could be longer . carly : maybe it can be . jack : what do you mean ? carly : maybe i have more time than i thought . [ scene_break ] katie : carly is more than jack 's past or ex or friend . you look at two people , like you and tom , and you see that they have the perfect marriage . they fit together . they share everything . and when they break up , you 're thrown . how does a love like that just go away ? margo : sometimes it does . and then it comes back . katie : the minute that carly got sick , jack was there . it was like they had n't skipped a beat . he slept with her , margo . and the worst part is , i was totally blindsided because i thought he was that one person that i could trust forever . margo : well , at least he told you the truth . katie : yeah , after he told the biggest lie of them all . and i get it now . the time that jack and i have been together , he 's still been in love with his ex- wife . carly being sick did n't change anything between jack and me . it just made it all crystal clear . margo : katie , you stumped me on this one . i do n't know . but why do n't you just not make a decision tonight ? just not right now ? katie : i ca n't . if i let myself stop and think , then i 'll start to hope . and what 's the point ? carly 's going to die , and jack there 's nothing left to hope for . [ scene_break ] carly : maybe this is n't the right time to get into this . jack : no , you started it . finish it . carly : what if something -- what if something did change in montana ? what if everything i 've been praying for has already happened ?

[ scene_break ] tom : hey . margo : you ca n't have gotten katie 's annulment papers together that fast . tom : well , no , of course not . i was just giving you and your sister a little chance to be alone . did you talk her out of it ? margo : no , no , this is such a sad moment . jack 's a great guy , but he did n't even give the marriage a chance . katie just left sitting here thinking about , man , everything that you and i have been through together and survived -- tom : and are still going through . margo : katie , gosh , she just wants everything perfect . she wants guarantees . she wants no bumps , no bruises . tom : i wonder what that would have been like . margo : it would n't have been us . tom : ah , perfect 's overrated . [ scene_break ] brad : you already filed for an annulment ? tonight ? katie : why prolong the agony ? you warned me that jack could never love anyone but carly . i was flattering myself to think that what he and i had was special enough to overcome that . brad : do n't say that . you are special . jack knows it , too . maybe you should just take some time -- katie : why does everyone keep telling me to give it time and wait until carly 's gone ? brad : actually i was n't going to say that . katie : really ? then what where you going to say ? come on , brad . give it your best shot . tell me one thing that would make me change my mind and stay married to jack .

[ scene_break ] jack : you want to blame this on carly ? katie : you would have never slept with her if she did n't drag you off to montana . you think she did n't know what she was doing ? taking you to the place where you fell in love ? i 'm sure she had all the bright romantic touches -- jack : it was n't like that . katie : and did she keep reminding you that she would n't be around much longer , so you better have her while you could ? oh , god . why did i say that ? i ca n't believe i just said that . jack : you did n't mean it . i know . katie : i keep -- having these pictures in my head of sage and the boys growing up without their mother . why did i say that ? jack : you 're upset . but you 're wrong , katie . i needed to go to montana as much as she did . probably more . katie : what about the sex ? did you need that , too ? jack : it was n't like that . but i guess -- i guess it was my way of saying good - bye . katie : you 're the most honorable man i 've ever met in my entire life , and you just threw away your marriage vows ? jack : i know , and i can never make that up to you . katie : and i do n't know what you think you were saying when you had sex with carly , but it sure as hell was n't good - bye .

i 've done the research . i know what it 's worth . i mean , a family farm -- there 's not much upside there . but you called . you 're family . and i want to help . so that solution is on that piece of paper . adam : you -- you want to take advantage . chelsea : okay , adam , do n't -- adam : no , no , really , really , right ? i mean , that 's what you want to do . you want to -- you want to buy the farm out from under me , knowing that just with a few minor improvements , it 'll be worth 10 times that much . nick : well , you came to me . adam : i came to you because you 're family , nick . apparently that means something different to you than it does me . nick : around here , that means watch your back . adam : oh . i feel sorry for you , because my family is the reason i wake up in the morning . my family 's the reason i do everything that i do . it 's the reason i work so hard . i mean , it 's also the reason i ca n't accept your offer . you look at us , you -- you do n't see kin at all , do you ?

i 'm just gon na , um , just gon na talk to my husband for a second . nick : sure . adam : this is a joke , right ? i mean , you 're not serious about accepting that guy 's offer . chelsea : we are being given an incredible opportunity . adam : what ? an opportunity ? an opportunity to do what ? to -- to sell out , to be like him ? chelsea : i - i mean , what 's -- what 's -- what 's so bad about that ? adam : are you kidding me right now ? chelsea : okay , let 's be real . you are not turning this down because of family . you are turning this down because you are being stubborn and thinking about your ego , you know . i mean , i ... why is it that you 're so scared of real success ? adam : i thought you loved our life , babe . chelsea : i love you . you know , but i do n't love struggling and constantly worrying about bills and money . i mean , think about connor . i mean , what this money could do for him . i mean , he could go to any college he wants to ! adam : that 's all i do is think about connor , and i can take care of my son without my brother 's damn money . chelsea : i know . i know . but you 're so smart and you 're so capable . i mean , just think about it . you could be sitting behind that desk one day . i mean , you -- you could be running a place like this ! adam : slow down a second . is that what you want from me ? to be a guy sitting behind that desk willing to screw over his own brother ? really ? victoria : would you stop acting like a fool and put down the gun ? we all know that you do n't have the guts to use it , so why do n't you just put it down ? billy : that 's exactly it , is n't it ? i 've been a fool for too long , putting up with your -- your issues , your moods , the whole time trying to keep our family together . victoria : oh , yeah , while you were a little busy betting on the ponies or losing in an all - night poker game , 'cause that 's all you ever do is lose anyway . billy : well , it 's better than staying home , watching you drink yourself to sleep . victoria : well , if you were any kind of a man , maybe i would n't have to get drunk in order for you to touch me . billy : i have done everything for you , for our kids , trying to keep our family together . this is how you repay me ? sleeping with some -- some lounge slime behind my back ? luca : whoa , whoa , whoa , whoa , whoa , whoa . billy : shut up ! adam : hold on a second . hey , whoa , whoa , whoa . billy : who are you ? adam : uh ... no one . i 'm just a guy . billy : okay , well ... [ gun cocks ] billy : ... walk away , guy . adam : okay . i 'm a father . how about you ? you a father ? you got kids ? victoria : billy , billy , think about delia . adam : is that your daughter 's name -- delia ? light of your life , right ? little girl ? she 's probably waiting at home for you right now , waiting for her daddy to come home , tuck her in . i do n't know about you . that 's one of my favorite parts of the day -- tucking my son in . why do n't you lower the gun , go home , and kiss your daughter good night ? because this is n't right . nothing good 's gon na come of this , okay ? so ... put the gun away . just think about what delia 's life would be like without her daddy in it . [ groans ] summer : i know that you love us , but sometimes you go so extreme , grandpa . victor : [ sighs ] i know . that 's who i am , you know . summer : yet i do n't think that your family 's thanking you right now for taking the road less traveled . victor : huh . and that breaks my heart . but , you know ... [ sighs ] that 's the ambivalence of being a parent . i mean , sometimes you do things that your children and grandchildren love you for and sometimes ... they get angry with you , you know , for certain choices that you have made . but i know in the end my children are better off for the choices i have made for them . chelsea : how could this happen ? !

that i 'm not capable of making my own decisions and i need dad 's approval to make any moves ? nick : no , no , i was gon na say i 'm proud of you . it must not have been easy for you to do . victoria : you know what , nick ? actually , it was easy . it was really easy , because what dad did was terrible . and he just tried to laugh it off like it was nothing . he accused billy and me of sabotaging him . he accused the abbotts of smearing him . he tried to paint himself as the victim . and when paul asked him to tell the truth , he looked at me like i should cover for him , cover for his lies , the ever - loyal , idiot daughter . and do you know what the worst part is ? he thinks that he 's actually gon na get off , just like he got you off . abby : no , what adam did was an accident . dad planned , calculated , manipulated every step of this . it 's unforgivable . victoria : well , i could n't let him get away with it . and when i handed paul the evidence , i just could n't take the way that dad looked at me . nikki : sweetheart , you told the truth . and that was very courageous . you did the right thing . victoria : thanks , mom . summer : well , you all got what you wanted . i just visited grandpa . nick : why would you do that ? summer : because i wanted answers . abby : did you get any ? adam : did he at least admit to doing anything wrong ? summer : no , i did not get answers or an apology . nick : classic dad . summer : no , but i came away realizing something . how much he 's done for us and how much he 's helped make our lives better . nick : how can you defend him , summer , after what he did to your mother ? summer : i am not defending him , okay ? i hate what he did . but i just -- i listened to him , and that is all i 'm asking you guys to do . just listen to him and realize that he needs us just as much as we need him . victor : `` i shall be telling this with a sigh , somewhere ages and ages hence , two roads diverged in a wood . and i ... i took the one less traveled by . and that has made all the difference . `` [ next_on ] mariah : who 's the new partner ?

victor : [ sighs ] victor : have you ever read that wonderful poem by robert frost , `` the road not taken `` ? summer : yeah , um , in school , i guess . it 's the one about the guy in the woods and the two roads , right ?

i 've done the research . i know what it 's worth . i mean , a family farm -- there 's not much upside there . but you called . you 're family . and i want to help . so that solution is on that piece of paper . adam : you -- you want to take advantage . chelsea : okay , adam , do n't -- adam : no , no , really , really , right ? i mean , that 's what you want to do . you want to -- you want to buy the farm out from under me , knowing that just with a few minor improvements , it 'll be worth 10 times that much . nick : well , you came to me . adam : i came to you because you 're family , nick . apparently that means something different to you than it does me . nick : around here , that means watch your back . adam : oh . i feel sorry for you , because my family is the reason i wake up in the morning . my family 's the reason i do everything that i do . it 's the reason i work so hard . i mean , it 's also the reason i ca n't accept your offer . you look at us , you -- you do n't see kin at all , do you ? you see marks on a balance sheet . talk about success , your big corner office , the top of newman tower ? that 's success to you . that 's not to me , sir . chelsea : will you excuse us for one minute ? i 'm just gon na , um , just gon na talk to my husband for a second . nick : sure . adam : this is a joke , right ? i mean , you 're not serious about accepting that guy 's offer . chelsea : we are being given an incredible opportunity . adam : what ? an opportunity ? an opportunity to do what ? to -- to sell out , to be like him ? chelsea : i - i mean , what 's -- what 's -- what 's so bad about that ? adam : are you kidding me right now ? chelsea : okay , let 's be real . you are not turning this down because of family . you are turning this down because you are being stubborn and thinking about your ego , you know . i mean , i ... why is it that you 're so scared of real success ? adam : i thought you loved our life , babe . chelsea : i love you . you know , but i do n't love struggling and constantly worrying about bills and money . i mean , think about connor . i mean , what this money could do for him . i mean , he could go to any college he wants to ! adam : that 's all i do is think about connor , and i can take care of my son without my brother 's damn money . chelsea : i know . i know . but you 're so smart and you 're so capable . i mean , just think about it . you could be sitting behind that desk one day . i mean , you -- you could be running a place like this ! adam : slow down a second . is that what you want from me ? to be a guy sitting behind that desk willing to screw over his own brother ? really ? victoria : would you stop acting like a fool and put down the gun ? we all know that you do n't have the guts to use it , so why do n't you just put it down ? billy : that 's exactly it , is n't it ? i 've been a fool for too long , putting up with your -- your issues , your moods , the whole time trying to keep our family together . victoria : oh , yeah , while you were a little busy betting on the ponies or losing in an all - night poker game , 'cause that 's all you ever do is lose anyway . billy : well , it 's better than staying home , watching you drink yourself to sleep . victoria : well , if you were any kind of a man , maybe i would n't have to get drunk in order for you to touch me . billy : i have done everything for you , for our kids , trying to keep our family together . this is how you repay me ? sleeping with some -- some lounge slime behind my back ? luca : whoa , whoa , whoa , whoa , whoa , whoa . billy : shut up ! adam : hold on a second . hey , whoa , whoa , whoa . billy : who are you ? adam : uh ... no one . i 'm just a guy . billy : okay , well ... [ gun cocks ] billy : ... walk away , guy . adam : okay . i 'm a father . how about you ? you a father ? you got kids ? victoria : billy , billy , think about delia . adam : is that your daughter 's name -- delia ? light of your life , right ? little girl ? she 's probably waiting at home for you right now , waiting for her daddy to come home , tuck her in . i do n't know about you . that 's one of my favorite parts of the day -- tucking my son in . why do n't you lower the gun , go home , and kiss your daughter good night ? because this is n't right . nothing good 's gon na come of this , okay ? so ... put the gun away . just think about what delia 's life would be like without her daddy in it . [ groans ] summer : i know that you love us , but sometimes you go so extreme , grandpa . victor : [ sighs ] i know . that 's who i am , you know . summer : yet i do n't think that your family 's thanking you right now for taking the road less traveled . victor : huh . and that breaks my heart . but , you know ... [ sighs ] that 's the ambivalence of being a parent . i mean , sometimes you do things that your children and grandchildren love you for and sometimes ... they get angry with you , you know , for certain choices that you have made . but i know in the end my children are better off for the choices i have made for them . chelsea : how could this happen ? ! [ sobbing ] adam ! god ! no ! how could this happen ? ! no ! no ! adam ! no ! paul : come with me . chelsea : you bastard ! you killed him ! why did you do this ? ! why did you do this ? ! dylan : do you understand your rights ? billy : i did n't mean to kill him . i do n't even know the guy . i did n't mean to shoot him . this is your fault , you slut ! dylan : come on . billy : i was never enough for you , was i ? ! i did everything for you and i was never enough !

[ door closes ] abby : what now ? what do we do ? victoria : i can call the lawyers . nikki : no , he can do that from jail . he 's on his own now . adam : hey . what happened ? i went to the hospital , no one 's there . is he all right ? nick : he 's fine . he was faking it . adam : are you serious ? he was faking it ? the man 's wanted for 1,000 counts of fraud , and he faked a -- [ chuckling ] he faked a medical emergency ? this is awesome . where the hell is he ? abby : he 's in jail . paul arrested him . adam : really ? wow , i , um ... victoria , i 'm impressed . i was n't sure what you 'd do with all the information after i left you . i was positive he 'd convince you to lie for him . nick : would n't be the first time you protected dad . victoria : what exactly is that supposed to mean ? that i 'm not capable of making my own decisions and i need dad 's approval to make any moves ? nick : no , no , i was gon na say i 'm proud of you . it must not have been easy for you to do . victoria : you know what , nick ? actually , it was easy . it was really easy , because what dad did was terrible . and he just tried to laugh it off like it was nothing . he accused billy and me of sabotaging him . he accused the abbotts of smearing him . he tried to paint himself as the victim . and when paul asked him to tell the truth , he looked at me like i should cover for him , cover for his lies , the ever - loyal , idiot daughter . and do you know what the worst part is ? he thinks that he 's actually gon na get off , just like he got you off . abby : no , what adam did was an accident . dad planned , calculated , manipulated every step of this . it 's unforgivable . victoria : well , i could n't let him get away with it . and when i handed paul the evidence , i just could n't take the way that dad looked at me . nikki : sweetheart , you told the truth . and that was very courageous . you did the right thing . victoria : thanks , mom . summer : well , you all got what you wanted . i just visited grandpa . nick : why would you do that ? summer : because i wanted answers . abby : did you get any ? adam : did he at least admit to doing anything wrong ? summer : no , i did not get answers or an apology . nick : classic dad . summer : no , but i came away realizing something . how much he 's done for us and how much he 's helped make our lives better . nick : how can you defend him , summer , after what he did to your mother ? summer : i am not defending him , okay ? i hate what he did . but i just -- i listened to him , and that is all i 'm asking you guys to do . just listen to him and realize that he needs us just as much as we need him . victor : `` i shall be telling this with a sigh , somewhere ages and ages hence , two roads diverged in a wood . and i ... i took the one less traveled by . and that has made all the difference . `` [ next_on ] mariah : who 's the new partner ? luca : there 's our genius . kevin : oh , hell no . hilary : you 're a little preoccupied with your ex - husband and that whole situation -- ashley : my personal life has nothing to do with your overstepping . jack : i need to know now , christine . am i going to prison for this ? is this gon na take ?Summarize.[/INST]summer visits her grandpa victor in jail where they both imagine what life would be like if he were n't around to help his family . victor tells summer that phyllis would still be in her coma , because he never would 've paid for her to get her experimental treatment . her grandmother nikki would be a homeless alcoholic , because he would 've left the country and divorced her . summer 's father nick would be the head of newman enterprises with three ex- wives to his credit . victoria would be an alcoholic with a troubled marriage to billy who would 've accidentally shot adam while trying to kill victoria . victor persuades summer that he did all the things he did to jack and phyllis in order to protect his family . later , summer tries to persuade her family to go listen to victor 's side of the story .</s> | 16,541 |

'cause you probably do n't know this , but i am a fantastic storyteller , and usually i only get to tell stories to thomas , my little son . so i am glad that you are here today , because he does n't think they 're funny . so i 'm gon na practice on you , okay , arianna ? can i tell you a story ? yeah ? are you gon na listen ? excellent . okay , now , this story is about a giraffe -- a giraffe named marty , and he 's a very special kind of giraffe , because he 's an accountant giraffe . and all of the other animals , they want him to do their taxes , especially the hyenas . because everybody knows hyenas are the worst with money . gabi : what are taxes ? ask him , `` what are taxes ? `` chad : you do n't even get it . that 's it . this is mine . yep . gabi : what ? he ate your chicken tender . chad : you do n't understand . and this is mine too . gabi : no , no . chad : okay . sonny : what do you think about this for ari on halloween ? think i can talk gabi into it ? paul : sonny , that 's a nun . sonny : i know . it 's great . paul : you want your four - year - old to go out for halloween dressed as a nun ? sonny : yes , because all the other four - year - olds are gon na be fairy princesses and ballerinas . ari is gon na stand out . paul : like you did at the comic book convention ? sonny : you just had to go there . paul : it 's not my fault . i warned you that those tights were n't long enough . sonny : it was the last pair of green tights at the store , and the viper always wears green tights . to be honest , i killed it at that convention . i was a hit . paul : yes , yes . you were . yes , you were . everybody wanted to take your picture , and every time they did , you did the viper crouch . sonny : perfectly -- i did it perfectly . paul : until your tights ripped and everybody found out that the viper wears tighty - whities . sonny : oh , man . paul : it 's a good thing that i bought that poster so you could hold it in front of yourself until we got home . sonny : thank you for enjoying the most humiliating day of my life . paul : but you stood out . sonny : yeah , well , at least i was wearing a mask . hey , you 're the one that brought it up . paul : yeah . i was just thinking that , in those days , i was always wearing a mask . you were the only person who really knew who i was . sonny : paul , i know what i said before , but -- nicole : could you please just calm down ? deimos : i do n't want to calm down . nicole : now i know why i did n't tell you about the baby . this is exactly what chloe was afraid of , and if i were in her shoes , i 'd be afraid of you too . deimos : are you honestly saying that i do n't have a right to be angry ? nicole : i did n't love keeping this from you . i did n't set out to hurt you , but now i told you . i told you . do n't i get a little credit for this ? deimos : really ? really ? for lying to my face for months ? nicole : if chloe told me today that the baby she 's carrying is yours , i would 've refused to keep it from you . deimos : oh , oh , so i 'm supposed to feel that that 's okay , then , everything that you 've done -- is that it ? nicole : please , you have to understand . chloe and i -- we go way back . we 've seen each other through some really tough times . so when she told me about the baby , i was ... i was just starting to think that maybe you actually liked me for me and not because i reminded you of your dead fiancée . but i did n't know you then like i know you now . you 're not a ruthless businessman . you actually have a very big heart that you do n't want people to see . that is the real reason why i told you this today , because i believe that you will be fair and kind to chloe because she is your son 's mother . and i think you ... deserve a chance to be a good father to your son . please tell me i have n't misjudged you . please tell me i have n't made a horrible mistake . before fibromyalgia , derrick : it 's good to see you again , sonny . i did n't know you were back in salem . sonny : i did n't know you were back either . paul said he was gon na hang out with a friend , but he did n't mention that friend was you . paul : i guess i should 've . derrick : well , we just ran into each other at the hospital last night . i just got a job there . sonny : oh . they have bellhops there now ? derrick : no . actually , i 'm an administrative assistant . hopefully my bellhopping days are behind me . it was ... nice to run into a familiar face . paul : yeah , and i suggested that we should get together today , catch up , maybe watch a movie . sonny : sounds like a date . paul : no , just hanging out . you know , the movie 's gon na start soon . we should probably get going . derrick : yeah , sure . paul : hey , thanks for the ride and for the coffee . sonny : you 're welcome . adrienne : hi , guys . lucas : hey , little one . how are you doing ? chad : hi . adrienne : hi . chad : arianna and i , we talked gabi into having lunch with us -- get her away from the hospital for a bit . gabi : yeah , but i think i 'm gon na start heading back now . lucas : how 's our nephew doing ? gabi : well , i thought i was gon na hear from jennifer while i was out , but i did n't , so i 'm assuming he 's the same . lucas : yeah . adrienne : hey , you know what ? chad , why do n't you stay with gabi ? i can take arianna and thomas back to the house . chad : okay . yeah , that -- thank you . gabi : yeah , thank you . adrienne : okay , great . come here , baby girl . ooh ! hello . gabi : see you in a bit . lucas : do you think you can handle everything alone ? i just wanted to go see jenn for just a bit . adrienne : oh , of course , honey , give her my love . give her my love . lucas : okay , i will . adrienne : you know what ? i 'll start packing for us both after i get the kids settled . lucas : okay . chad : whoa . you guys -- you guys found a place already ? lucas : not quite . not quite . we 're staying at the salem inn , but it 's fine , it 's fine . do n't worry about it . gabi : hey , are you gon na be okay on your own with thomas ? chad : yeah , yeah , yeah , yeah . with the -- with the nanny and the staff and harold -- are you kidding me ? it 's gon na be -- it 's gon na be a real hardship . adrienne : thomas is gon na get a lot of love , but most of it 's gon na be coming from his daddy . chad : that 's true . gabi : well , that 's good . i 'm happy to hear that . chad : i 'm happy too . yeah , it 's -- after everything that 's happened this past year , i 'm looking forward to start living my life again . jennifer : he 's so quiet . julie : is it true what i heard ? orpheus just shot him point - blank ? jennifer : yeah . and marlena told me that he was just right there in the square with a -- with a hole in his chest . julie : darling -- jennifer : and chad had to keep pressure on him so he would n't just bleed out right there . julie : poor darling . jennifer : i ca n't lose him , julie . julie : well , you 're not going to . he 's young and strong . he had a good surgeon . he 's gon na pull through . jennifer : yeah . he has to . i ca n't -- i ca n't bear the thought of outliving both of my children . julie : no , it 's unthinkable . jennifer : why did he -- why did he want to be a cop ? he was barely out of high school . julie : i think he wanted to make a difference -- to turn his life around -- and he did . you know , when doug and i were running the b & b , every night that he was on duty , he 'd come by , make sure everything was all right . jennifer : really ? julie : yeah , really . i know he 's had problems . darling , you raised one of the good guys . jennifer : he is a good guy . thank you -- but i ca n't -- i can not go through another funeral . after jack and abigail , i just -- i ca n't , julie . julie : you 're not going to . jennifer : and i just ca n't -- i ca n't lose my family this way . i know that there are people who just seem to be put together , you know , to handle tragedy , and i 'm not one of them . i ca n't -- i ca n't do it . i ca n't take any more . deimos : oh , you made a mistake , all right . your mistake was keeping this from me . nicole : but i told you . deimos : i do n't care what you told me . i should 've known about this the moment chloe told you . i do n't know why i 'm so surprised about this . a woman who would steal another woman 's baby , let her believe that her own baby was dead -- i mean , why should i be surprised that a woman like that would do anything like that ? you know , for someone who goes on and on about how much you love children , you really have an odd way of showing it . you know , in fact , i have to wonder if any child would even want you for a mother in the first place . nicole : how dare you say that to me when you know i miscarried two babies ? how dare you ? deimos : i really thought that you , more than anyone , understood me . i really believed that we were soul mates . how in god 's name could i have been so wrong ? derrick : thought you said the movie was starting soon . paul : yeah . i guess i got the time wrong . derrick : should we have invited sonny ? paul : no . it 's okay . derrick : you sure ? he seemed pretty upset that we had plans together . paul : yeah , yeah . he 's been going through a lot lately . it was n't about us hanging out . derrick : i think you 're kidding yourself . paul : why ? derrick : i saw the way he was looking at you . paul : sonny 's still grieving will . he says he does n't want to get involved with anybody . derrick : people say a lot of things that they do n't mean . paul : but even if you were right , it would never work out . will , what happened -- it would always come between us . derrick : why ? you did n't know that will was sonny 's husband , and will did n't know that you were sonny 's ex . paul : but now will 's dead . there 's no way to work it out . derrick : but you and sonny have a lot of history together . paul : i 've been through all this too many times . sonny needs to be with somebody who does n't remind him of will and who 's not gon na make him feel guilty for moving on with his life . i 'm not that guy . sonny : so you and lucas are staying at the salem inn ? adrienne : yeah , until we -- until we find a place of our own , sure . sonny : so you can finally make the wedding plans . adrienne : well , as soon as we know that jj 's okay , yeah . sonny : right , right . adrienne : will you give me away ? sonny : mm , do n't push it . adrienne : honey , i know you 're not happy about your father and me . sonny : no . i mean , i 've accepted it . adrienne : that 's not what 's giving you the blues ? 'cause i can tell that you have them . sonny : really ? adrienne : mm - hmm . sonny : i thought i was covering so well . adrienne : mm - mm . talk to me , babe . sonny : i just thought there might be something between paul and me again , but apparently i just misread the entire situation . adrienne : i see . that upsets you ? sonny : i 'll survive . it 's what 's best . jennifer : lucas , thank you . thank you so much for being here . lucas : it 's all right . it 's all right . i saw gabi in the square and she said jj was still in a coma . you know what ? he 's gon na be fine . he 's young , and he 's strong . he 'll make it . jennifer : i now . that 's what everybody keeps telling me . lucas : what can i do ? anything -- just tell me . jennifer : you can bring him back to me . lucas : i would love to do that -- i would do that in a heartbeat -- you know i would . jennifer : i know . me too . lucas : you know , there 's a meeting that starts in ten minutes downstairs if you want to go . jennifer : no . i ca n't leave him right now , lucas . i ca n't . lucas : jenn , what you ca n't do is even admit the possibility that he 's not gon na make it . now , you need to stay strong and stay sober . you need to be there for him when he gets out and help him recover . he 's gon na need you . jennifer : no , that 's good . that 's good . that 's exactly the right thing that you need to say to me . lucas : it 'll help . i promise . come on , let 's go . jennifer : okay . gabi : hey , thanks for taking me out of the hospital for a little while . chad : yeah . hopefully you get some good news . gabi : i do n't even want to start to think what jennifer will do if something happens to jj . chad : stop . nothing 's gon na happen , and , listen , if he -- if he needs , like , anything -- a fancy specialist , a private flight to some far - off hospital , or a back rub -- you tell jennifer that i am -- i am here . gabi : thank you . that 's really wonderful . chad : it 's abby 's brother . he means a lot to you , so i 'll do anything for him . gabi : i feel bad , because i 'm always yelling at you . chad : well , yeah , you are , but i kind of needed it , right ? i mean , you got me to finally start thinking and looking at what 's important in my life . gabi : yeah . thomas . chad : thomas . gabi : [ laughs ] well , wherever abigail is , i 'm sure that she 'd be very happy to hear you say that . i 'm gon na head back . chad : okay . should i come with you ? yeah ? gabi : that 'd be great . chad : okay . lucas : how are you doing ? jennifer : better -- thank you . oh , my goodness . jj : gabi -- jennifer : lucas , go tell the nurses , quick ! lucas : absolutely ! jennifer : jj ? jj , it 's mom . can you hear me ? jj : gabi ? i 'm so sorry . jennifer : what ? jj : forgive me . jennifer : wait , jj . jj , it 's mom . jj : gabi -- jennifer : jj , can you hear me ? jj : i 'm so sorry . jennifer : what ? jj : sorry . deimos : there 's an airplane ticket in there with the cash you asked for and an address in new york city . it 's an apartment belonging to a couple named craig and nancy wesley . what do i do when i find it ? deimos : it 's nancy 's daughter i 'm interested in . her name is chloe -- chloe lane . go easy on her . she 's pregnant . she 's carrying my baby . now , do n't come back to salem until you have her with you . nicole : chloe , come on . pick up . pick up . pick up . voicemail -- damn it , chloe , where are you ? i need to talk to you . i really -- i really screwed up . i did . i told deimos about the baby . i 'm sorry . i thought he was gon na be decent and understanding , but he was -- he was n't . i was wrong . i was wrong . now he 's furious at both of us . so you need to do whatever you need to do to take care of yourself and the baby , because i do n't know what deimos is gon na do next . | chad let lucas know that he was ready to take care of thomas . lucas believed he was ready to take care of him too . gabi played music for jj to help him come out of the coma . nicole told deimos that chloe was having his baby . deimos reminded her that it was n't possible because of the paternity test . she told him that chloe talked to the doctor and had the results switched . he was excited about the news until he found out how long she knew the truth . nicole tried to use the fact that chloe 's her friend and she was worried that he would take the baby from her as an excuse . deimos was still upset with her for keeping the truth from him . | <s>[INST] lucas : is he sleeping ? chad : oh , yeah , yeah . he 's out . probably makin ' up for the last couple weeks . adrienne 's excited . she gets to take a shower finally . chad : i ran into harold . he said that he had to call anne milbauer a cab this morning . lucas : yeah , yeah , that was kind of 'cause of me . chad : why ? lucas : well , she showed up out of nowhere , and she said she was out of gas or something and she was stranded , so i let her use a guest room . i was gon na kick her out , you know , but i thought with everything going on , it might be a bad idea . chad : no , no , that 's fine . look , i ... um ... i appreciate everything that you have done for thomas and for myself . lucas : but you 're sick of us . you want us to hit the road . chad : no . no , it 's -- no . it 's nothing like that . lucas : it 's fine . chad : no , it 's not . it 's -- honest , i just -- i -- man , i feel like i 'm in a -- i 'm in a pretty good place now . you know , better than that , i think that i would -- i want to try to take care of my son alone . i think i 'm ready to take care of him . lucas : i think you are too . sonny : you 're gon na be okay . you 're really gon na be okay . [ exhales ] thank god . good , you 're still here . paul : my doctor did n't sign my release order till just now . i got a couple more signatures , and i am out of here . sonny : you want me to give you a ride home ? paul : you do n't have to do that . sonny : paul , i meant what i said . i want to be a better friend . paul : i appreciate that , but i feel fine and , actually , i 'm not going home . i 'm gon na meet a friend at the brady pub . sonny : okay . can i buy you a cup of coffee and keep you company until your friend shows up ? paul : sure . why not ? [ soft music ] deimos : what are you talking about ? what secret have you been keeping from me ? nicole : i do n't know if i 'd use the word `` secret , `` exactly , i -- deimos : all right . do n't play with me , nicole . we both agreed that there would be no secrets between us . nicole : and there have n't been since we decided that , more or less . but there are some things that ... predate that agreement . deimos : just tell me . nicole : i overheard you and philip talking . deimos : so you were eavesdropping ? nicole : no . i got here , and i heard you two talking , and i did n't want to interrupt . deimos : all right , all right . what does that have to do with this secret that you 've been keeping ? nicole : it has to do with you wanting to be a father , and i agree with philip . i think you would be a great father -- i mean , a little intense , but still ... a great father . deimos : well , unfortunately , for now , it 's not in the cards . i was hopeful for a while , but -- nicole : chloe lied to you . deimos : what ? nicole : the baby she 's carrying . it 's yours . [ dramatic music ] deimos : i ca n't be the father of chloe 's baby , nicole . i insisted on a paternity test . you know that . we were both there when chloe got the results . it 's not me . nicole : yes , it is . deimos : what ? nicole : chloe got the doctor ... she convinced him that you were a danger to her and the baby . she got him to somehow falsify the test . deimos : are you absolutely sure ? i 'm gon na be a father . nicole : yeah . deimos : i 'm gon na have a child ? nicole : yeah .

'cause you probably do n't know this , but i am a fantastic storyteller , and usually i only get to tell stories to thomas , my little son . so i am glad that you are here today , because he does n't think they 're funny . so i 'm gon na practice on you , okay , arianna ? can i tell you a story ? yeah ? are you gon na listen ? excellent . okay , now , this story is about a giraffe -- a giraffe named marty , and he 's a very special kind of giraffe , because he 's an accountant giraffe . and all of the other animals , they want him to do their taxes , especially the hyenas . because everybody knows hyenas are the worst with money . gabi : what are taxes ? ask him , `` what are taxes ? `` chad : you do n't even get it . that 's it . this is mine . yep . gabi : what ? he ate your chicken tender . chad : you do n't understand . and this is mine too . gabi : no , no . chad : okay . sonny : what do you think about this for ari on halloween ? think i can talk gabi into it ? paul : sonny , that 's a nun . sonny : i know . it 's great . paul : you want your four - year - old to go out for halloween dressed as a nun ? sonny : yes , because all the other four - year - olds are gon na be fairy princesses and ballerinas . ari is gon na stand out . paul : like you did at the comic book convention ? sonny : you just had to go there . paul : it 's not my fault . i warned you that those tights were n't long enough . sonny : it was the last pair of green tights at the store , and the viper always wears green tights . to be honest , i killed it at that convention . i was a hit . paul : yes , yes . you were . yes , you were . everybody wanted to take your picture , and every time they did , you did the viper crouch . sonny : perfectly -- i did it perfectly . paul : until your tights ripped and everybody found out that the viper wears tighty - whities . sonny : oh , man . paul : it 's a good thing that i bought that poster so you could hold it in front of yourself until we got home . sonny : thank you for enjoying the most humiliating day of my life . paul : but you stood out . sonny : yeah , well , at least i was wearing a mask . hey , you 're the one that brought it up . paul : yeah . i was just thinking that , in those days , i was always wearing a mask . you were the only person who really knew who i was . sonny : paul , i know what i said before , but -- nicole : could you please just calm down ? deimos : i do n't want to calm down . nicole : now i know why i did n't tell you about the baby . this is exactly what chloe was afraid of , and if i were in her shoes , i 'd be afraid of you too . deimos : are you honestly saying that i do n't have a right to be angry ? nicole : i did n't love keeping this from you . i did n't set out to hurt you , but now i told you . i told you . do n't i get a little credit for this ? deimos : really ? really ? for lying to my face for months ? nicole : if chloe told me today that the baby she 's carrying is yours , i would 've refused to keep it from you . deimos : oh , oh , so i 'm supposed to feel that that 's okay , then , everything that you 've done -- is that it ? nicole : please , you have to understand . chloe and i -- we go way back . we 've seen each other through some really tough times . so when she told me about the baby , i was ... i was just starting to think that maybe you actually liked me for me and not because i reminded you of your dead fiancée . but i did n't know you then like i know you now . you 're not a ruthless businessman . you actually have a very big heart that you do n't want people to see . that is the real reason why i told you this today , because i believe that you will be fair and kind to chloe because she is your son 's mother . and i think you ... deserve a chance to be a good father to your son . please tell me i have n't misjudged you . please tell me i have n't made a horrible mistake . before fibromyalgia , derrick : it 's good to see you again , sonny . i did n't know you were back in salem . sonny : i did n't know you were back either . paul said he was gon na hang out with a friend , but he did n't mention that friend was you . paul : i guess i should 've . derrick : well , we just ran into each other at the hospital last night . i just got a job there . sonny : oh . they have bellhops there now ? derrick : no . actually , i 'm an administrative assistant . hopefully my bellhopping days are behind me . it was ... nice to run into a familiar face . paul : yeah , and i suggested that we should get together today , catch up , maybe watch a movie . sonny : sounds like a date . paul : no , just hanging out . you know , the movie 's gon na start soon . we should probably get going . derrick : yeah , sure . paul : hey , thanks for the ride and for the coffee . sonny : you 're welcome . adrienne : hi , guys . lucas : hey , little one . how are you doing ? chad : hi . adrienne : hi . chad : arianna and i , we talked gabi into having lunch with us -- get her away from the hospital for a bit . gabi : yeah , but i think i 'm gon na start heading back now . lucas : how 's our nephew doing ? gabi : well , i thought i was gon na hear from jennifer while i was out , but i did n't , so i 'm assuming he 's the same . lucas : yeah . adrienne : hey , you know what ? chad , why do n't you stay with gabi ? i can take arianna and thomas back to the house . chad : okay . yeah , that -- thank you . gabi : yeah , thank you . adrienne : okay , great . come here , baby girl . ooh ! hello . gabi : see you in a bit . lucas : do you think you can handle everything alone ? i just wanted to go see jenn for just a bit . adrienne : oh , of course , honey , give her my love . give her my love . lucas : okay , i will . adrienne : you know what ? i 'll start packing for us both after i get the kids settled . lucas : okay . chad : whoa . you guys -- you guys found a place already ? lucas : not quite . not quite . we 're staying at the salem inn , but it 's fine , it 's fine . do n't worry about it . gabi : hey , are you gon na be okay on your own with thomas ? chad : yeah , yeah , yeah , yeah . with the -- with the nanny and the staff and harold -- are you kidding me ? it 's gon na be -- it 's gon na be a real hardship . adrienne : thomas is gon na get a lot of love , but most of it 's gon na be coming from his daddy . chad : that 's true . gabi : well , that 's good . i 'm happy to hear that . chad : i 'm happy too . yeah , it 's -- after everything that 's happened this past year , i 'm looking forward to start living my life again . jennifer : he 's so quiet . julie : is it true what i heard ? orpheus just shot him point - blank ? jennifer : yeah . and marlena told me that he was just right there in the square with a -- with a hole in his chest . julie : darling -- jennifer : and chad had to keep pressure on him so he would n't just bleed out right there . julie : poor darling . jennifer : i ca n't lose him , julie . julie : well , you 're not going to . he 's young and strong . he had a good surgeon . he 's gon na pull through . jennifer : yeah . he has to . i ca n't -- i ca n't bear the thought of outliving both of my children . julie : no , it 's unthinkable . jennifer : why did he -- why did he want to be a cop ? he was barely out of high school . julie : i think he wanted to make a difference -- to turn his life around -- and he did . you know , when doug and i were running the b & b , every night that he was on duty , he 'd come by , make sure everything was all right . jennifer : really ? julie : yeah , really . i know he 's had problems . darling , you raised one of the good guys . jennifer : he is a good guy . thank you -- but i ca n't -- i can not go through another funeral . after jack and abigail , i just -- i ca n't , julie . julie : you 're not going to . jennifer : and i just ca n't -- i ca n't lose my family this way . i know that there are people who just seem to be put together , you know , to handle tragedy , and i 'm not one of them . i ca n't -- i ca n't do it . i ca n't take any more . deimos : oh , you made a mistake , all right . your mistake was keeping this from me . nicole : but i told you . deimos : i do n't care what you told me . i should 've known about this the moment chloe told you . i do n't know why i 'm so surprised about this . a woman who would steal another woman 's baby , let her believe that her own baby was dead -- i mean , why should i be surprised that a woman like that would do anything like that ? you know , for someone who goes on and on about how much you love children , you really have an odd way of showing it . you know , in fact , i have to wonder if any child would even want you for a mother in the first place . nicole : how dare you say that to me when you know i miscarried two babies ? how dare you ? deimos : i really thought that you , more than anyone , understood me . i really believed that we were soul mates . how in god 's name could i have been so wrong ? derrick : thought you said the movie was starting soon . paul : yeah . i guess i got the time wrong . derrick : should we have invited sonny ? paul : no . it 's okay . derrick : you sure ? he seemed pretty upset that we had plans together . paul : yeah , yeah . he 's been going through a lot lately . it was n't about us hanging out . derrick : i think you 're kidding yourself . paul : why ? derrick : i saw the way he was looking at you . paul : sonny 's still grieving will . he says he does n't want to get involved with anybody . derrick : people say a lot of things that they do n't mean . paul : but even if you were right , it would never work out . will , what happened -- it would always come between us . derrick : why ? you did n't know that will was sonny 's husband , and will did n't know that you were sonny 's ex . paul : but now will 's dead . there 's no way to work it out . derrick : but you and sonny have a lot of history together . paul : i 've been through all this too many times . sonny needs to be with somebody who does n't remind him of will and who 's not gon na make him feel guilty for moving on with his life . i 'm not that guy . sonny : so you and lucas are staying at the salem inn ? adrienne : yeah , until we -- until we find a place of our own , sure . sonny : so you can finally make the wedding plans . adrienne : well , as soon as we know that jj 's okay , yeah . sonny : right , right . adrienne : will you give me away ? sonny : mm , do n't push it . adrienne : honey , i know you 're not happy about your father and me . sonny : no . i mean , i 've accepted it . adrienne : that 's not what 's giving you the blues ? 'cause i can tell that you have them . sonny : really ? adrienne : mm - hmm . sonny : i thought i was covering so well . adrienne : mm - mm . talk to me , babe . sonny : i just thought there might be something between paul and me again , but apparently i just misread the entire situation . adrienne : i see . that upsets you ? sonny : i 'll survive . it 's what 's best . jennifer : lucas , thank you . thank you so much for being here . lucas : it 's all right . it 's all right . i saw gabi in the square and she said jj was still in a coma . you know what ? he 's gon na be fine . he 's young , and he 's strong . he 'll make it . jennifer : i now . that 's what everybody keeps telling me . lucas : what can i do ? anything -- just tell me . jennifer : you can bring him back to me . lucas : i would love to do that -- i would do that in a heartbeat -- you know i would . jennifer : i know . me too . lucas : you know , there 's a meeting that starts in ten minutes downstairs if you want to go . jennifer : no . i ca n't leave him right now , lucas . i ca n't . lucas : jenn , what you ca n't do is even admit the possibility that he 's not gon na make it . now , you need to stay strong and stay sober . you need to be there for him when he gets out and help him recover . he 's gon na need you . jennifer : no , that 's good . that 's good . that 's exactly the right thing that you need to say to me . lucas : it 'll help . i promise . come on , let 's go . jennifer : okay . gabi : hey , thanks for taking me out of the hospital for a little while . chad : yeah . hopefully you get some good news . gabi : i do n't even want to start to think what jennifer will do if something happens to jj . chad : stop . nothing 's gon na happen , and , listen , if he -- if he needs , like , anything -- a fancy specialist , a private flight to some far - off hospital , or a back rub -- you tell jennifer that i am -- i am here . gabi : thank you . that 's really wonderful . chad : it 's abby 's brother . he means a lot to you , so i 'll do anything for him . gabi : i feel bad , because i 'm always yelling at you . chad : well , yeah , you are , but i kind of needed it , right ? i mean , you got me to finally start thinking and looking at what 's important in my life . gabi : yeah . thomas . chad : thomas . gabi : [ laughs ] well , wherever abigail is , i 'm sure that she 'd be very happy to hear you say that . i 'm gon na head back . chad : okay . should i come with you ? yeah ? gabi : that 'd be great . chad : okay . lucas : how are you doing ? jennifer : better -- thank you . oh , my goodness . jj : gabi -- jennifer : lucas , go tell the nurses , quick ! lucas : absolutely ! jennifer : jj ? jj , it 's mom . can you hear me ? jj : gabi ? i 'm so sorry . jennifer : what ? jj : forgive me . jennifer : wait , jj . jj , it 's mom . jj : gabi -- jennifer : jj , can you hear me ? jj : i 'm so sorry . jennifer : what ? jj : sorry . deimos : there 's an airplane ticket in there with the cash you asked for and an address in new york city . it 's an apartment belonging to a couple named craig and nancy wesley . what do i do when i find it ? deimos : it 's nancy 's daughter i 'm interested in . her name is chloe -- chloe lane . go easy on her . she 's pregnant . she 's carrying my baby . now , do n't come back to salem until you have her with you . nicole : chloe , come on . pick up . pick up . pick up . voicemail -- damn it , chloe , where are you ? i need to talk to you . i really -- i really screwed up . i did . i told deimos about the baby . i 'm sorry . i thought he was gon na be decent and understanding , but he was -- he was n't . i was wrong . i was wrong . now he 's furious at both of us . so you need to do whatever you need to do to take care of yourself and the baby , because i do n't know what deimos is gon na do next .Summarize.[/INST]chad let lucas know that he was ready to take care of thomas . lucas believed he was ready to take care of him too . gabi played music for jj to help him come out of the coma . nicole told deimos that chloe was having his baby . deimos reminded her that it was n't possible because of the paternity test . she told him that chloe talked to the doctor and had the results switched . he was excited about the news until he found out how long she knew the truth . nicole tried to use the fact that chloe 's her friend and she was worried that he would take the baby from her as an excuse . deimos was still upset with her for keeping the truth from him .</s> | 8,833 |

[ dark music ] what the hell is wrong with me ? ciara : you have a chemical imbalance ... and you need your meds to control it . please , just ... go refill your prescription before the drugstore closes , please , ben . ben : okay . ciara : [ exhales ] ben : this is n't a trick ... is it ? you 're not gon na call your mom while i 'm gone . ciara : i told you that you can trust me , and i meant it . i 'm not trying to get you in trouble . i 'm gon na be right here when you get back , i promise . look , i 'm gon na ... i 'm gon na shut this off , okay ? see ? i 'm not going anywhere . could n't even if i wanted to . ben : i 'm really sorry for scaring you . ciara : it 's okay . i 'm just glad that i could talk you down . ben : you 're really good at that .

[ ahem ] but , uh ... yeah , it 's been rough . but i -- last night i promised her that i would do my best to try to make it work . gabi : is that a promise you feel like you can keep ? chad : well , i thought so . i hope so . i just ... when i , uh ... when i got home earlier , i was talking to her , and the baby had kicked . so instinctually , i wa -- i wanted to ... but i ... it 's not mine . i could n't , it 's not my -- it 's not my child , it 's my brother 's , so it made me feel sick , and i just -- i ran out of the house . i had to get out of there . gabi : well , i mean , i do n't even know how you 're ... handling all of this . it 's crazy . i just wish abigail had n't put you through all of this . i wish she would have listened to me . chad : about what ? gabi : well , when ... when abigail first told me about her pregnancy and she mentioned that it was stefan 's baby , i -- i threw out the idea of an abortion . and , you know , she did think about it . she went the clinic . she made an appointment , and then -- chad : what ? gabi : i do n't know , i mean , i still do n't even understand what happened and why she did n't go through with it . but i do know that stefan was there and that he tried to stop her . chad : yeah . he made her realize some things . gabi : well , i think -- i think it was a bit more than that . tripp : you okay ? i want you to know that i , uh , i never stopped wanting this . wanting you . ciara : let 's go to my room . tripp : you sure ? ciara : i 'm sure .

[ sighs ] whoever did this is still out there , and they 're looking to hurt ciara and who knows who else ? i need to know what happened . we all do . will you help me ? marlena : under one condition . if it turns out that you set that fire ... then all confidentiality is off the table . you have to go to ciara and to the police . and if you do n't , i will . ben : you can tell everyone . either way . marlena : okay . let 's get started . claire : there you go . john : you seem a little down there , kiddo . what 's going on ? claire : oh , nothing . nothing . i 'm fine . john : really ? claire : yeah , no , seriously , i 'm not about to lay all my problems on you . your wedding is coming up and this is supposed to be a really happy time . john : and i 'm all happy- dappy . and i 'm also your papa and you 're my claire bear , and you know you can talk to me about anything . claire : okay . well , uh , it 's ... about tripp . he 's the first guy i 've even looked at since theo left , and i really like him , i do . and i thought that we had a chance , but ... he is all about ciara . ciara : thank you . and thank you for dealing with my mini freak - out . tripp : do n't apologize . you 've been through a lot . ciara : i just wish i could stop thinking about it ... the cabin , the fire . tripp : look , i know it 's gon na be hard , but just try and focus on the future , okay ? i mean , your cast is off now . you 're getting stronger every day . i bet you could even take a few steps without your crutches . ciara : oh , no , i - i do n't know about that . tripp : try it . you can lean on me the whole way . ciara : okay . tripp : i got you . ciara : okay . oh , my god . tripp : see ? ciara : oh , my god , i just did it again ! i did it ! oh , my god ! thank you ! thank you so much .

[ laughs ] chad : yeah , well , it 's just that , uh ... it 's bad enough that i have to think about him every single day while i 'm at titan , because i 'm trying to get rid of him , and now i got ta deal with all this pregnancy stuff too . so it 's just a lot right now . gabi : yeah , how you doing with that ? chad : as best as i can . gabi : hey . chad : hmm . gabi : hey , this is me here that you 're talking to . you can be honest . john : well , you know , if tripp is ... all into ciara , i think you 're gon na have to find a way to accept that , honey . claire : no , i do . i do . i just do n't think that ciara is into him . she has a thing for ben weston . john : oh . ben weston ? oh , come on , claire . claire : no , it -- it 's true , okay ? it 's true . why else would she defend a serial killer every chance that she gets ? i 'm actually scared that she 's gon na end up breaking tripp 's heart . john : is that what this is really all about ? claire : um , well ... uh , it might have something to do with ... the huge dent in my ego . you know , ciara used to say that all the boys were madly in love with me . and now they all want her . but anyway , aside from all that , ha , i 'm just kind of lonely , to be honest . and you and grandma marlena invited me to your wedding with a plus - one , but there wo n't be any . it 's gon na be the most romantic day ever , and i 'm gon na be all alone . [ emotional music ] tripp : hey , i 'm -- i -- i - i 'm sorry , i should n't have done that . i should n't have pushed , i -- i just ... i missed you so much . marlena : okay , ben , open your eyes . [ somber music ] where are you now ? ben : i 'm in the cabin . with ciara . marlena : how are you feeling ? ben : extremely paranoid . like i do n't know if i can trust the words she says . [ dramatic , somber music ] what are you doing with that knife ? ciara : you gave it to me . for protection , remember ? ben : you think you need protection from me . you think i 'm a killer . that 's what everybody else thinks . maybe they 're right . ciara : i know you 're different . i know you wo n't hurt me . ben : then why are you holding that knife on me ? ciara : because you 're kind of scaring me right now . but only because you ca n't get to your meds -- that 's what 's making you see things that are n't there . making you think that i 'm out to get you . ben : or maybe getting off that stuff is letting me see things clearly for the first time since i went on it . maybe underneath ... i have n't changed at all . [ dark music ] what the hell is wrong with me ? ciara : you have a chemical imbalance ... and you need your meds to control it . please , just ... go refill your prescription before the drugstore closes , please , ben . ben : okay . ciara : [ exhales ] ben : this is n't a trick ... is it ? you 're not gon na call your mom while i 'm gone . ciara : i told you that you can trust me , and i meant it . i 'm not trying to get you in trouble . i 'm gon na be right here when you get back , i promise . look , i 'm gon na ... i 'm gon na shut this off , okay ? see ? i 'm not going anywhere . could n't even if i wanted to . ben : i 'm really sorry for scaring you . ciara : it 's okay . i 'm just glad that i could talk you down . ben : you 're really good at that . [ dark music ] i remember . i remember everything . i 'm jimmy dean and uh , kate : you do n't see that you 're being just a little bit audacious here ? you murdered my husband , and now you 're asking me to smooth things over with chad , as if that could even happen . i think you need to get real . you slept with stefan , and now you 're carrying his baby . abigail : and i take responsibility for that . kate : you see , i do n't see that . i see you asking me to clean up your messes . i see a woman using her mental illness and saying she deserves to get a pass for everything she does . abigail : i never said that . kate : yes , but you never did anything either , did you ? you could have terminated that pregnancy . chad would never have known about the baby , and it would have spared him heartbreak . but instead , you chose to let him suffer . abigail : that 's not true . kate : you asked him to accept the fact that you had sex with his brother , and now you 're asking him to love this baby , which is the single most selfish request i have ever heard . chad : it 's been rough . [ ahem ] but , uh ... yeah , it 's been rough . but i -- last night i promised her that i would do my best to try to make it work . gabi : is that a promise you feel like you can keep ? chad : well , i thought so . i hope so . i just ... when i , uh ... when i got home earlier , i was talking to her , and the baby had kicked . so instinctually , i wa -- i wanted to ... but i ... it 's not mine . i could n't , it 's not my -- it 's not my child , it 's my brother 's , so it made me feel sick , and i just -- i ran out of the house . i had to get out of there . gabi : well , i mean , i do n't even know how you 're ... handling all of this . it 's crazy . i just wish abigail had n't put you through all of this . i wish she would have listened to me . chad : about what ? gabi : well , when ... when abigail first told me about her pregnancy and she mentioned that it was stefan 's baby , i -- i threw out the idea of an abortion . and , you know , she did think about it . she went the clinic . she made an appointment , and then -- chad : what ? gabi : i do n't know , i mean , i still do n't even understand what happened and why she did n't go through with it . but i do know that stefan was there and that he tried to stop her . chad : yeah . he made her realize some things . gabi : well , i think -- i think it was a bit more than that . tripp : you okay ? i want you to know that i , uh , i never stopped wanting this . wanting you . ciara : let 's go to my room . tripp : you sure ? ciara : i 'm sure . [ music swells ] john : you know , claire , there 's nothing wrong with you flying solo at our wedding . claire : yeah , no , it 's fine . i 'll just paint a giant l on my forehead . john : [ laughs ] no , no , no , no , no . you see , marlena and i , we do n't ask losers to sing for us on the happiest day of our lives . claire : really ? john : really . that 's what i came here to ask you . listen to me , sweetheart . claire : mm - hmm . john : everyone already knows just ... how smart you are , how funny and charming you are . but when you get up there to sing in front of them , they 're gon na be stunned with just how beautiful and talented you are . claire : you 're making me blush . john : i 'm just telling you what the facts are . now ... let me tell you something else . before you know it , you 're gon na have all these guys , they 're gon na be lined up to be asking you out . but i want you to do me a really big favor here , okay ? i just want you to take it slow . and when you think that you have found mr . right ... i want you to promise that you 're gon na run him by doc and me first so i can -- so we can check him out . because your grandmother and i , we 're kind of protective of our granddaughter . claire : [ laughs ] it 's a deal . john : it 's a deal . claire : thank you , thank you . oh , i love you both so much . john : we love you , sweetheart . [ chuckles ] claire : and i hope you 're right that my true love really is out there somewhere . john : oh , he is . you count on it . tripp : look , i know that -- why this might not be an easy step for you . but i want you to know i 'm willing to wait . as long as it takes . i 'm just ... did n't know you still had feelings for me . ciara : i do . and i was wrong to push you away . what i want more than anything , tripp , is for us to go back to the way things were ... all those weeks ago when we were so close . before everything that happened happened . i want to forget about the past and be in the present . tripp : we can do that . ciara : now , tripp . i 'm ready now . i want you to make love to me .

katie : well , at the risk of sounding repetitive , there are not that many men in los angeles like you . eric : look , i know what you 're talking about . as we grow up , we start to look for different attributes in a partner . qualities like loyalty become much more important . katie : yeah , that 's a big one , is n't it ? eric : it is for me . i experience that wonderfully with quinn . and with you , my loyal friend . i love that we can be so open and honest with each other . ridge : give katie what she wants . if that 's the price we have to pay for what we did , so be it . quinn : it wo n't be ! you know it wo n't be ! what were we thinking ? why ? why did we do this to ourselves ? ridge : do what to ourselves ? we kissed ! it did n't mean anything . quinn : if it did n't mean anything , why did n't we stop ? ridge : we did stop . quinn : no , we did n't . it happened over and over . at the house , on the beach in sydney , and ... we risked everything ! my marriage , your relationship with your father ... you lost brooke , and for what ? for some twisted desire for danger ? ridge : it does n't matter why . it 's over . i do n't think about it . do you ? coco : you do n't know what you 're asking . sally : begging , coco . i 'm begging . coco : sally , you were my rock . sally : i took something precious , yes , and i destroyed it -- the trust we had , your faith in me ... i 'm your big sister ! that always came first , okay ? growing up , i -- i had one job . to look after you , to make sure that you were safe and happy . so i ca n't imagine that moment when you looked out and saw the forrester designs on that runway , on our runway , finding out that we made you a part of it , that i let it happen ... i betrayed you . once . but never again . coco : you say that ... sally : i mean it . coco : but how can i be sure ? sally : look at me . think about everything that we have been through . it has always been us against the world . on the playground , at school , at home ... what did i always say to you ? coco : you 'd say , `` do n't worry . just hold on to me . everything will be all right . `` sally : so do n't let go . please , do n't let this tear us apart . you are way too important to me . i need you . coco : i need you , too , and i do n't like feeling like this . sally : then let 's just -- let 's just put this behind us . come on , can we do that ? can we just find a way to move on ? i want that more than anything . please . please , coco . just tell me that you will forgive me .

it 's like this -- touching base , having lunch together once in a while . katie : well , this was certainly the highlight of my day . eric : mine , too . well , what about tonight ? do you have plans for dinner ? katie : tonight ? eric : yeah , why do n't you join us ? wyatt 's coming over ... katie : oh , is it just the three of you ? eric : no , ridge is joining us , as well . katie : oh , well , then , um , sure , yeah . i 'd love that . thank you . eric : good . it might give you and quinn a chance to calm things down between you . katie : yeah , we 'll see . eric : you know , you can tell me anything . if something 's going on , i want to hear about it . good or bad . it 's not speaking out of turn . it 's being a friend . quinn 's undivided loyalty has spoiled me , i know . i guess i -- i expect that from everyone now . ridge : we 're gon na do whatever it takes to keep this from my father . quinn : you need to talk to katie . ridge : i do n't need to talk to her at all . we 're gon na give her what she wants . quinn : why , because of a few meaningless kisses ? ridge : no , because it was wrong ! that 's why . quinn : but so is she ! ridge : i do n't even -- quinn : what ? ! i am not going to let her control me , and i 'm not gon na let her make me feel guilty ! i feel bad enough -- i do ! -- with whatever this is between us , and if i could go back , i would -- i would take it all back ! ridge : so would i . quinn : i would never go up to san francisco . ridge : it 'd just be me , right ?

this -- this company was going under , and i felt like i had to do something drastic . horrible , thoughtless , but not completely unforgivable . it ca n't be . come on , coco . i confessed . that has to count for something . i was willing to go to jail for what i did . i took full responsibility . i even made sure that everybody knew that you had nothing to do with it , especially the forresters . you say that i do n't care , but i do . so much . all i want is a chance to prove that , and i know that it 's gon na take some time and a lot of work , but i am not going to stop trying . just please do n't give up on me . eric : you were involved with two of the most eligible men in los angeles . katie : [ laughing ] yeah , and look how that turned out for me . eric : [ chuckles ] katie : i - i suppose that bill and ridge do share a lot of the same qualities , even though they would never admit it . i mean , they 're both powerful and successful and good - looking , good fathers ... i just -- i want someone who 's gon na stand up for me , you know ? i mean , someone stable and thoughtful and -- oh , my god , i hate using this word , but -- reliable . eric : why , you think because it sounds boring ? katie : yes , frankly . it does . but i just -- i want someone who 's gon na be there for me , no matter what . eric : that does n't seem like such a tall order . katie : yeah , well , you 'd be surprised . eric : you have n't met anybody like that ? katie : well , at the risk of sounding repetitive , there are not that many men in los angeles like you . eric : look , i know what you 're talking about . as we grow up , we start to look for different attributes in a partner . qualities like loyalty become much more important . katie : yeah , that 's a big one , is n't it ? eric : it is for me . i experience that wonderfully with quinn . and with you , my loyal friend . i love that we can be so open and honest with each other . ridge : give katie what she wants . if that 's the price we have to pay for what we did , so be it . quinn : it wo n't be ! you know it wo n't be ! what were we thinking ? why ? why did we do this to ourselves ? ridge : do what to ourselves ? we kissed ! it did n't mean anything . quinn : if it did n't mean anything , why did n't we stop ? ridge : we did stop . quinn : no , we did n't . it happened over and over . at the house , on the beach in sydney , and ... we risked everything ! my marriage , your relationship with your father ... you lost brooke , and for what ? for some twisted desire for danger ? ridge : it does n't matter why . it 's over . i do n't think about it . do you ? coco : you do n't know what you 're asking . sally : begging , coco . i 'm begging . coco : sally , you were my rock . sally : i took something precious , yes , and i destroyed it -- the trust we had , your faith in me ... i 'm your big sister ! that always came first , okay ? growing up , i -- i had one job . to look after you , to make sure that you were safe and happy . so i ca n't imagine that moment when you looked out and saw the forrester designs on that runway , on our runway , finding out that we made you a part of it , that i let it happen ... i betrayed you . once . but never again . coco : you say that ... sally : i mean it . coco : but how can i be sure ? sally : look at me . think about everything that we have been through . it has always been us against the world . on the playground , at school , at home ... what did i always say to you ? coco : you 'd say , `` do n't worry . just hold on to me . everything will be all right . `` sally : so do n't let go . please , do n't let this tear us apart . you are way too important to me . i need you . coco : i need you , too , and i do n't like feeling like this . sally : then let 's just -- let 's just put this behind us . come on , can we do that ?

[ chuckles ] she actually lives with my aunt bobbie ... at carly 's house . johnny : hmm . what ? carly ? why would , uh ... why would she take her in ? lulu : oh , why not ? she 's family , right ? carly and joss are at sonny 's , obviously , so there 's plenty of room for that lying , deceitful , two - faced -- johnny : okay . you 're getting off track again . lulu : fine . johnny : look , there 's no way in hell i 'm going over to carly 's house , so , uh , her job . where does she work ? lulu : she 's a cadet at the police academy . once she gets that badge , she 'll have the perfect excuse to hang around dante all day . johnny : police academy . they got a website , right ? lulu : yeah , why does that matter ? johnny : watch and learn .

[ scene_break ] curtis : how you doing , man ? curtis gooden . nikolas : nikolas cassadine . and you are ? hayden : a - a brilliant interior designer . i was just interviewing him about a possible redo of elq 's main offices . nikolas : without asking me ? hayden : oops . curtis : um , hayden told me it was a surprise for her boss , so i 'm guessing you 're the boss . hayden : [ laughs ] i did -- i did say that . surprise ! nikolas : i - i do n't , uh , see any plans or sketches anywhere . curtis : uh , yeah , well , right now we 're just talking concept . i do n't like to commit anything on paper too soon . uh , i like to keep my options open until i learn and fully understand what the client wants . now , in your case , hayden tells me that you 're looking for something with light and line , like enhancing the overall presence of your space . nikolas : okay . it 's a fairly traditional building . hayden : yeah , which -- which makes this the perfect challenge , where i told him we 're honoring a venerated corporation while bringing it into modern times . i also told him the sky 's the limit on the budget , so curtis needs to get working on those plans that will wow us ... immediately . curtis : i 'll get on that asap . uh , and i 'm sure i 'll have something that 'll meet all your needs . nikolas : thank you . hayden : i hope you do . curtis : really nice meeting you , mr. cassadine . nikolas : mm - hmm .

[ scene_break ] lulu : [ sarcastically ] yeah . valerie is gorgeous . she 's also a lying , home- wrecking cheat . johnny : lulu , i 'm -- i 'm sorry . it was an innocent slip of the tongue . that 's it . besides , no matter what this girl looks like , she does n't hold a candle to you . lulu : stop talking , johnny . johnny : that 's a good idea . i do n't think my back can take any more of your `` reactions . `` what , have you been kick - boxing ? lulu : okay , focus , focus . do you see anything helpful ? johnny : i do n't know , it 's a pretty extensive website , but , um ... oh ! you got dante 's password ? we can get into the internal stuff . lulu : uh , yeah , it 's 1 - 2 - 2 - 3 . 12 - 23 -- december 23 , 2011 . that 's our wedding day . johnny : got it . lulu : it was actually a really magical day . i got to the church and i was n't sure -- johnny : wait a minute , church ? you got married in a catholic church ? lulu : oh , shut up . johnny : lulu ... i 'm just saying . lulu : it was important to dante , okay ? it was n't like it was some big formal religious ceremony . it was ... it was intimate and really special . it was just me , dante , and olivia . his cousin tommy married us . that was before i knew that my skank of a cousin even existed . johnny : look at this . what do you know ? we got benefits , vacation requests , schedules . lulu : what , like dante 's schedule ? johnny : dante 's schedule , other people 's schedules . lulu : like the cadets ? johnny : like the cadets . ha ! look at this . you 're in luck . lulu , i got to move on this . lulu : wait -- what ? right now ? johnny : yeah , right now . lulu : no , no , no , no . it 's way too dangerous for you to go out in broad daylight . you are wanted by the police . johnny : it 's not like i 'm public enemy number one . besides , i know what i 'm doing . lulu : yeah , but wait , wait , wait . i do n't know what you 're doing . what are you planning ? johnny : [ sighs ] [ scene_break ] nikolas : how can you be meeting with an interior designer when we were just talking about cutting costs ? hayden : i can explain . nikolas : mm - hmm ? hayden : it may seem heartless , cutting jobs while at the same time spending money on offices and other perks , but decorating is a one - time expense . cutting redundant jobs yields ongoing dividends . besides , i know it sounds awful , but i just ca n't seem to care about faceless people losing their jobs . it 's just numbers to me . i care about the people i know who care about me -- those are the relationships that matter . do n't you agree ? nikolas : is ours one of those relationships that matter ? hayden : well , why do you think i 'd be working on this surprise for you ? nikolas : i do n't know . hayden : of course , now it 's not a surprise and you probably disapprove , so i can tell curtis to just forget it . nikolas : no , we can deal with him another time . i have bigger things on my mind at the moment . hayden : and you tracked me down to tell me about it ? nikolas : no , i just came from being with elizabeth , and i need a drink . still do . hayden : why ? nikolas : elizabeth 's worst fears have just been realized .

[ scene_break ] johnny : yeah , there we go . lulu : what is it ? johnny : uh , nothing . got to go . lulu : but you have n't told me anything about what you 're actually gon na do to valerie . johnny : well , you ca n't know that -- the less you know , the better . you need deniability in case something goes wrong , or for that matter , in case it goes right . lulu : well , can you just give me your general plan ? johnny : later , lulu . lulu : johnny !

[ scene_break ] nikolas : jason found out that elizabeth kept his identity from him . hayden : how ? did the little simp crack under the pressure and confess ? nikolas : more or less . sam told jason her suspicions , and when jason confronted elizabeth , she admitted it . what can i say ? hayden : elizabeth is the one who was insistent on keeping this secret so she could have jason all to herself , and then she just turns around and blabs everything ? nikolas : piling on elizabeth is n't gon na help anyone right now . what matters is that jason not only knew about elizabeth , he probably knows -- hayden : he knew that we knew ? nikolas : he at least knew that i did . so it 's not much of a leap to assume that you did , too . hayden : okay . well , did we do anything wrong -- legally , that is -- by not telling jason who he was ? nikolas : well -- hayden : i mean , could charges be brought against me , against us ... nikolas : i do n't know . hayden : ... because of all of this ? nikolas : maybe some sort of fraud or accessory after the fact -- i do n't know , but jason will certainly be seeking his own retribution , which ... is a concern . hayden ? what ? hayden : nikolas , i really , really ca n't have any legal trouble right now . [ scene_break ] elizabeth : okay , jason , please . if you still love despite everything , then it 's wrong for you to leave . 'cause i still love you with all of my heart , and i am willing to do anything to make it up to you . jason : you should really forget about making it up to me . how are you gon na make it up to jake ? hmm ? how are you gon na explain to your son that you 've been lying to him this entire time ? or what about my wife ? how are you gon na make it up to sam ? how are you gon na make it up to danny ? if you had it your way , he would have spent his entire life never knowing that i was his father . you say you love me , but you really do n't . because love takes other people 's feelings into consideration . elizabeth : sam and danny did n't need you like jake and i did . and we still do . jason , we can do this . we can still be a family . you just have to forgive me . please . jason : i really did love you . but the love we shared was built on a lie , and that lie is over . elizabeth : jason !
